Episode 475: Wild Card Preview Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Episode 475: The 2026 MLB postseason has arrived.

We have a bracket and matchups to dive into. But before Dallas, JayHay, Jared, and Tyler give their predictions, the guys react to an emotional weekend of baseball retirements.

Justin Verlander’s storybook ending set the template for how first-ballot Hall of Famers want to leave the game, with Max Scherzer following closely behind in his own unique way of potentially wrapping up his career.

Each Wild Card series is discussed in depth, and everyone on the panel gives official predictions for who moves on to the Division Series.

Episode 474: 40/40 Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

Episode 474: The end of the regular season is almost upon us.

Lock in for a postseason loaded with live streams and podcasts from Baseball Is Dead. The clinch parties continue in search of the postseason, with the best coming from Chicago. Munetaka Murakami’s celebration made waves on the internet, but JayHay isn’t buying what the White Sox are selling.

The Guardians clinch their postseason berth, and JayHay slams his division rivals while getting excited for a new era of Guardians pitching heading into the postseason. Alex Bregman’s return just three days after facial fractures stuns the group, and the Justin Verlander vs. Max Scherzer forever war takes another turn.

Pitching wiz Lance Brozdowski joins the show and dives deep with Dallas on pitching and the new trend the Marlins are starting: starting pitchers throwing in games between starts. Nerd out with the guys and hear what the future of starting pitching could look like.

Lastly, Pete Crow-Armstrong adds another notch on his MVP résumé by stealing his 40th bag and joining the 40/40 club. His achievement on the same day the Cubs clinched their playoff berth puts a cherry on top of what could be the greatest season in franchise history.

Episode 473: Chris Sale's Resurgence Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Episode 473: A star-studded episode of Baseball Is Dead is on tap for Wednesday.

All-Star, Cy Young winner, and future Hall of Famer Chris Sale joins the show to talk about his resurgence with the Atlanta Braves. Jared asks him the question every Red Sox fan wants posed to their former World Series champion, and Dallas gets Sale into the Hot Tub Time Machine for his baseball moment.

The guys crown the Tampa Bay Rays kings of the American League East after they clinch the division in the Bronx. Jared argues this isn’t a typical Rays team—their brand of baseball has been exciting to watch.

JayHay surprises the guys by bringing ESPN’s Jeff Passan onto the program for his return to BID Feud. Passan calls for a specific teammate and delivers the most exciting, closest game of Feud ever.

Episode 472: Clinch Week Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

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: Curtain Call Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

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 469: AL MVP Race Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Episode 469: There’s a pep in Dallas’ step today, courtesy of The Law Dog, Lawrence Butler’s walk-off bomb that gave the A’s their third consecutive series victory.

Jared starts the conversation on the forever war the New York Yankees and New York Mets will find themselves in over Juan Soto. Internet discourse surrounding Soto during their series engulfed Baseball Twitter and potentially started another fire in a New York dugout.

Aaron Judge’s comments on his “ace” Cam Schlittler’s MVP case get JayHay and the group thinking about who is in the lead for AL MVP. Has Yordan Alvarez locked up the award, or must he vault back into Triple Crown status to capture it?

Stay tapped in for conversations about Fernando Tatis Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr. breaking his streak, and what one last Justin Verlander start could look like.

Episode 468: Ohtani IL-Bound Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

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?
