Edwin Diaz was wheeled off the field after injuring himself celebrating Puerto Rico's win over the Dominican Republic.

We're looking at the record number of Japanese viewers who tuned into some of these games and talking about the potential record-breaking viewership totals we could see in the finals on Tuesday. After all the hype around the Dominican Republic lineup, they were bounced in the pool stage. Jared says his goodbyes and mourns for his hometown of Saugus Domingo.

Baseball Is Dead Episode 75: Pitch Clock Madness Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

Spring training finally kicked off this weekend which means we got our first look at the implementation of the pitch clock at the major league level. The reactions to the new rule have been wild after viral videos of games ending on violations made their rounds on the internet. Today we're talking about everything we like about the pitch clock and what we feel needs to be tweaked. We also break down the impact it has had and will continue to make on pace of play and the game of baseball in general. Dallas is on Jared case for putting on a few Lb's and Jayhay thinks he showed up to camp a little chubby after getting breaded up in the offseason. We're also talking the Manny Machado extension, whether the Padres are run by the Saudi's, what Juan Soto's contract might look like, the Orioles and Pirates finishing their game without umpires, Big Tasty and Jared's twitter interactions, and more! Enjoy!

Jacob deGrom arrived at Rangers spring training camp this morning and within the hour was sidelined with left side tightness. We don’t want to overreact but considering DeGrom’s injury history it’s something that definitely needs to be monitored. We also had news break during the pod that Frankie Montas needs shoulder surgery and will potentially miss the entire 2023 season. Other topics today include the new bases, new balk rules, MLB.TV broadcasting minor league baseball, Nestor Cortes Jr. opting out of the WBC, Padres win projections, and Trout saying he’ll do “anything he can to keep Shohei (in LA).” Enjoy!

Show notes

Congratulations to Scott Rolen for getting into the Hall of Fame! Today we're reacting to the HOF voting results and seeing who fell short as well as notable names on upcoming ballots. The Angels are now NOT up for sale and we discuss what this means for the future of Shohei Ohtani in Anaheim. The Marlins have been active on the trade market and we're trying to decipher what their long term plan is. The Red Sox traded for Adalberto Mondesí and we're discussing if he might lead the league in stolen bases if he's healthy, or if he can get on base enough. The Oakland A's handed out a one-year mega deal to Jesús Aguilar and we're looking how it might affect season ticket sales as well as the overall economy in Oakland. At the end of the episode we're bringing back the Mt. Rushmore segment and kicking it off with the Pirates! Enjoy!
