Baseball Is Dead Episode 88: Standings Update Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

We're back with our mid-week check in episode! Starting today and moving forward we'll be checking in on the standings around the league every Wednesday. This week we're talking about the hot starts for the Diamondbacks and Pirates that have them higher up in the standings than anyone anticipated they would be at this point in the year. We're also talking about the surprisingly slow starts from the Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, and Padres. Clayton Kershaw was dealing last night and we take a look at his numbers over the last nine years (they're ridiculous). Juan Soto is struggling and has said the pitch clock is affecting his mental game. The MLB is testing some new rules in the Atlantic League and for the most part they SUCK. We finish up with news and notes and we'll see you tomorrow!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 87: Oakland A's Meltdown Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

The Oakland A’s walked SEVENTEEN batters in a 17-6 loss to the Mets on Friday night and Dallas Braden is here to update us on what’s going on in Oakland. Cody Bellinger returned to Dodger Stadium over the weekend and was issued a pitch clock violation while soaking in the ovation from Dodger fans. The Rays have finally lost a baseball game to the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays so the Rays talk will be kept to a minimum on this episode! Other topics include Javy Báez getting benched, new names for pitches showing up on broadcasts, the Domingo German sticky stuff situation, Gerrit Cole dealing, and Tatís Jr. hitting home runs in the minors. Enjoy and see you Wednesday!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 85: Rays STILL Undefeated Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

The Tampa Bay Rays cannot be stopped and it's getting ridiculous. They are officially on 162-0 watch. Today we're talking about what has lead to their success and if their schedule makes their hot start any less impressive. Jared is giving credit to Gerrit Cole for his solid outing against the Guardians and is asking Jayhay who amongst pitchers is better than Cole right now. The Baltimore Orioles might have the most exciting celebration in baseball right now on top of Ryan Mountcastle smashing 9 RBI against the A's last night. Jordan Walker has started the season on a 11-game hitting streak and the Cardinals might have to make some decisions about their outfield. Other topics include Miggy in Detroit, position player Nate Eaton tossing a 93 mph sinker, Sean Murphy's walk-off, and a check in on the standings around the league. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 84: Rays Rampage Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

The Tampa Bay Rays are off to a ridiculous 9-0 start which has three members of the podcast changing their AL East division winner prediction. Jared begs the question if you can really judge the Rays based off their recent series against the Oakland A's, but Dallas fights back saying the A's are in fact a team. Oneil Cruz fractured his ankle sliding into home plate this weekend and is out until at least August. Brutal blow for the Bucs who were looking pretty decent to start the year. The Padres put a beat down on the Braves this weekend and Joey weighs in on whether it's panic time in Atlanta. Trevor Bauer had his opening press conference in Japan and we're talking about the differences between the NPB and the MLB. It's also time for the second ever Baines Meter presented by Jayhay. Enjoy!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 83: Panic Time In Queens? Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

The Mets have started the season 3-4 and Mets fans are losing their mind as they tend to do. We're talking about what has gone wrong for the Mets so far and whether the reaction from fans has been over the top. Tyler O'Neill was benched after Oliver Marmol called him out for a lack of hustle and Joey's prediction of Bob Geren taking over managerial duties in St. Louis may be coming to fruition. Tatís Jr. went deep in a minor league game and the pitcher who gave up the home run took to Twitter to make some comments about his steroid use. We also get the season debut of Jayhay's "Baines Meter" segment and Joey's "Cutting Room Floor" segment. We're previewing the weekend series at the end of the episode and then WE GONE!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 82: Sandy Shoves, Scherzer Slammed Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

We’re back with our mid-week update! After calling people out for overreacting about Hunter Renfroe’s catch, Jayhay has already been getting submissions for better catches from just this week. Sandy Alcántara threw a 100-pitch shutout against the Twins yesterday and we’re trying to figure out why no one from our panel picked him to win the NL Cy Young. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Scherzer has struggled to start the year and gave up back to back to back home runs against the Brewers yesterday. The Red Sox starting pitching has been getting ROCKED and Dallas’s Pirates have taken the first two games of the series. We’re also looking the teams that have surprised us the most so far this season, whether that be over or underperforming to start the year. See you tomorrow!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 81: Opening Weekend Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Baseball is finally upon us and today we're breaking down all the storylines that came out of MLB opening weekend! We had a couple viral moments this weekend with Hunter Renfroe's "great" catch and Anthony Rendon swinging at a fan. We're also addressing the 2023 rule changes and talking about how we feel they've affected the game so far through the first weekend of the year. The Padres spent AGAIN and signed Jake Cronenworth to a 7-year extension which leads to conversation about how spending in MLB. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode of Baseball Is Dead without a little Shohei Ohtani talk as we try to figure out who his next team might be. We're also reacting to pace of play before Jayhay drops some rapid fire nugs, then WE GONE!
