Baseball Is Dead Episode 408: Better Call Sal Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

The fellas discuss the absurdity of Mike Trout trade conversations and why saying he should’ve forced his way out has always been detached from reality. We also chat about Shohei Ohtani’s pitching-only outing from Wednesday night, Sal Stewart’s blistering start and the potential NL Rookie of the Year race between him and Nolan McLean. And the boys’ Family Feud win streak meets its toughest challenge yet.

-Stephen A's Comments On Trout

Baseball Is Dead Episode 407: Is Mike Trout BACK? Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Mike Trout is looking like his old self after three home runs in two games. Dallas sheds some light on the player perspective with Jarren Duran's run-in with a fan. Kevin McGonigle is here for the long term in Detroit.

It's fair to say Yoshinobu Yamamoto has entered the Cy Young discussion, as well as Alex Vesia's emotional night in Los Angeles.

Baseball Is Dead Episode 406: A’s Roll, Miller Madness Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

On today’s episode, the boys hit on Dallas’ A’s steamrolling through the Bronx and Queens including Nick Kurtz’s first homer of the season. Later on, Clem joins to take sides on Francisco Lindor and talk Mets. We also break down the insanity of Mason Miller’s season so far (can he make a run at the NL Cy Young?), assess the exact level of panic currently in Toronto and fill ourselves up with a weekend’s worth of nuggets on José Soriano, Jordan Walker and many more.
