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?

Episode 467: Heightened Hader Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Episode 467: The First Days of Fall Are Here.

A cool crispness is in the air, which means fall is fast approaching. Jared and Tyler open the show talking about Section 10 Night, and Dallas interrogates the duo about their poor first pitches. The conversation turns to a potpourri of baseball topics, including the Cubs’ poor pitching, Elly De La Cruz’s missile of a throw, and a check-in on Tarik Skubal’s Dodgers numbers.

Aaron Judge made his return to the lineup and was not pleased with Aaron Boone’s decision to pull him. Meanwhile, the Athletics franchise is hit with another one-two combo of bad news for their future.

Stay tuned for All-Star closer Josh Hader joining the program to chat about his season, and for JayHay and Dallas to hear the story about Tyler and Bullet.

Episode 466: Doug Eddings' Disaster Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Episode 466: Welcome to another week of Major League Baseball. The guys get off to a hot start with Jared talking about Labor Day (shoutout to all the women), quarter-zone shots, and Julio César Chávez.

They then recap the weekend series and talk through every team across the league. In those discussions they cover the disaster-class umpire Doug Eddings put on in Colorado, including his abuse of power and the subsequent lying meant to cover it up.

More Los Angeles Dodgers off-field news continues to trickle out, and JayHay asks the guys where their rage meter currently sits. The crew wraps with Corbin Burnes making his return to the mound this week and a hot, fresh batch of award-winning nugs.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Pablo Torre is beginning a new investigation into the Los Angeles Dodgers and their owner, Mark Walter, who has found himself in the midst of a federal financial investigation.

Dallas, Jared, Tyler, and JayHay talk about Torre’s first batch of findings on the Dodgers and discuss the possibility of Shohei Ohtani exercising the opt-out clause in his contract if Mark Walter does indeed sell the Dodgers.

An old friend joins BID for his first taste of Feud action. Co-host of the Section 10 Podcast Steve Perrault takes center stage, and the guys go nuts for a new way of selecting teams.

Episode 463: Wrigley’s MVP Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Episode 463: We are officially in the final stretch of the regular season. Only 26 games left for some squads (but who’s counting), and the postseason will be here before we know it.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the BID YouTube for postseason baseball streams all October. In today’s episode, the guys recap every series from this weekend, including the magic Max Scherzer conjured in a throwback start that is setting up a dynamite strikeout race with Justin Verlander.

A few pieces of breaking news drop during the show before the crew gives their NL MVP to Pete Crow-Armstrong. His month of August has separated him from Shohei Ohtani in the conversation and put PCA in a race many did not think was possible heading into the season.

Lastly, before the award-winning nugs: Ketel Marte is officially returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jared asks Dallas what the locker room dynamics are like after a player seemingly abandons the team, and what the Diamondbacks could do with Marte this offseason.
