Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Episode 472: It’s make-or-break time for playoff hopefuls across the league. The final week of the regular season means clinch celebrations and playoff matchups being set. The Atlanta Braves begin clinch week by winning the NL East with some comfort despite a ton of adversity. The clinching continues as the Boston Red Sox lock up their postseason spot. Dallas praises the roller-coaster season the Sox had and Craig Breslow. The Milwaukee Brewers lock up the best record in franchise history by winning their 98th game. But JayHay asks the question on everyone’s mind as they enter the postseason: How will this be different from last year? The guys send their thoughts and prayers to Alex Bregman, who got hit in the face with a foul ball over the weekend, and discuss the chances we see New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge playing postseason ball. They wrap up with some award-winning nugs and a reminder of the playoff content schedule coming in October.

Episode 470: Your wait is over! Listen to the top of the podcast to get an idea of what our podcast and stream schedule will look like in October. There won’t be a shortage of content — we can guarantee you that. Friend of the program Tommy Pham allegedly talked his way into the lineup on one of the most important days of the season for the White Sox. Listen to the guys react to the story live, and stay through the end as they react to Pham’s home run. They dig into Pete Alonso’s curtain call in his return to Queens, where the slugger hit his 300th career home run. They also react to the Brewers clinching the NL Central, and JayHay lays the smack down on anyone who thinks Junior Caminero is the AL MVP. A star joins us for Feud to wrap things up: Karl Ravech, one of the voices of baseball, enters the gauntlet to see if he and his partner can come out on top.

Episode 468: On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the guys start off by remembering those affected by the terrorist attack and the healing role baseball played in getting the country back on its feet. Before Dallas departs, he begins the horn blowin’ that JayHay, Jared, and Tyler continue throughout the episode. Whenever Jeff Passan dips his quill, it is a must-read. Today was no different, as he pens some early thoughts on free agency that everyone reacts to, including the astronomical numbers ace Tarik Skubal may be in line to receive. The gang continues their conversation on free agency by trying to determine who the second-best free agent in the class is and tackling one of the most difficult questions of the offseason: should Bo Bichette opt out? 00:00:00 - Remembering 9/11 00:17:23 - Dallas Blows Some Horn 00:21:11 - How Much Could Tarik Skubal Get This Winter? 00:29:32 - Who Is the Best FA After Skubal? 00:38:09 - Opt In or Opt Out?
