An MLB podcast designed to grow the game and laugh in the face of those who have prematurely called the sport of baseball “dead†for a century. Hosted by Jared Carrabis, this show covers baseball from top to bottom, league to league, division to division and team to team, boasting the best guest list in baseball media.
The Baseball Is Dead podcast is an absolute must-listen for any baseball enthusiast. From the moment I heard about this show, I had a feeling it would be a banger, and I wasn't disappointed. Jared and Dallas, the hosts of the podcast, have an undeniable chemistry that brings the episodes to life. Their love for the game is infectious and their in-depth knowledge keeps listeners engaged from start to finish.
One of the best aspects of The Baseball Is Dead podcast lies in Jared and Dallas' ability to talk about baseball in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. They have a knack for dissecting key plays, analyzing player performances, and discussing strategic decisions made by managers. Their insights go beyond surface-level analysis and provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the game. Additionally, their passion for baseball shines through in each episode, making it clear that they genuinely care about growing the sport.
Another standout aspect of this podcast is the addition of new voices to the team. The return of "the Rocket," as referred to by fans, adds another layer to an already fantastic show. His expertise and experience in the sport bring a unique perspective that complements Jared and Dallas' perspectives perfectly. The chemistry between all members of the team enhances the overall listening experience and keeps fans coming back for more.
While there are countless positive aspects to highlight about The Baseball Is Dead podcast, it's important to acknowledge any potential areas for improvement. One minor downside could be that some episodes may feel too focused on specific teams or players at times. This could potentially alienate listeners who are not avid followers of those particular teams or players. However, these instances are few and far between and do not detract significantly from the overall quality of the show.
In conclusion, The Baseball Is Dead podcast is a home run for any fan of America's pastime. Jared, Dallas, and their team bring a level of expertise that sets them apart from other baseball podcasts. Their ability to make the game even more entertaining and thought-provoking is unmatched, and their dedication to growing the sport is commendable.

Today we're taking a closer look at the 2023 Mets and their failure of a season. We break down The Athletic's article which details what went wrong in the clubhouse that might have contributed to their lost season. Jayhay thinks more people deserve blame than just Lindor. Dallas has inside information on which teams don't work hard and we're trying to pry a hit piece out of him. We talk about the hype around Elly De La Cruz and how his recent struggles have affected public opinion on his rookie year. We also react to Stephen A Smith's comments on Shohei and the game of baseball. We finish up by taking Twitter questions from BID listeners and then we gone!

We start with the unfortunate obesity numbers in Stockton, CA before we get into Jared and Dallas's perspective on a long season for both of their favorite franchises. We also hear from Joey and Jayhay on their fan experience so far in 2023. We quickly recap the NL MVP race and talk about Max + the podcast being attacked by the ShoBaes. Then we get into the news of Shohei Ohtani getting surgery and his expected timeline to return to hitting and pitching. We also discuss how his rehab will affect where and how long he signs for in free agency. Other topics include a deeper dive into the Padres clubhouse drama and figuring out what they need to do to turn things around, Blake Snell's NL Cy Young bid and his value in free agency, a check in on the standings, and more!

The Orioles and Rays split four games over the weekend and BOTH teams clinched playoff berths. We're talking about the insane turnaround for the Orioles after winning 52 games only two years ago and we get RDT on the phone to offer congratulations. The Dodgers clinched the NL West so we compare and contrast the success of the Dodgers and Braves in recent years and decide who's having the more impressive run. Max joins the pod to talk Angels missing the playoffs, Shohei clearing out his locker, Rendon throwing the Angels under the bus, and Mike Trout probably being traded. Other topics include the Rays clinching the playoffs, the Marlins sweeping the Braves, MLB attendance up, and a new Rays ballpark. We also look into an article about Manny Machado's influence on the clubhouse in San Diego. Thanks for listening and we'll see you on Wednesday!

The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom and we get Jared's live reaction to the move. We recap Bloom's tenure in Boston and talk about who might be next in line to take over baseball operations for the Red Sox. Max Scherzer is out for the season and is “unlikely” to pitch in the playoffs. We're talking about how this affects the Rangers chances of success in the playoffs and Jared has a take that may surprise you. The Braves won their SIXTH straight division title and look to be going into the playoffs as World Series favorites. Joey breaks down the contract situation and comes to the conclusion that the Braves are all set for the rest of the decade. We also acknowledge the Rays as one of the better teams in the league over the last two months and wrap up with some final thoughts. Thanks for listening and we'll see you on Monday!

Alek Manoah REFUSED to report to Triple-A and is expected to be shut down for the season. We're reacting to yet another black mark on the season for Jared and Dallas' AL Cy Young pick. Trea Turner has pretty much been the best player in baseball since he received his standing ovation and we're trying to figure out what's in the air in Philly. We also speculate on what could be the best playoff matchups, the NL MVP race, the A's not being as bad as we thought, and A-Rod's comments on AVG. Thanks for listening and we'll see you tomorrow!

The Angels are reportedly open to trading Mike Trout if he wants out. We're talking about possible destinations, who could take the rest of his massive contract, and where he's at in his career in terms of production and health. Dallas thinks he's washed. Our other lead topic is George Kirby's comments about wishing he was pulled earlier in his last start. We dive into exactly what he said as well as the reaction from former pitchers on social media. Ronald Acuña is sick of being pitched inside and had some words for Pirates pitcher Oviedo which led to the benches clearing. We're breaking down the exchange and talking about if Acuña took it too far. Other topics include the Astros continuing to dominate, Jasson Dominguez's torn UCL, the BID Parlay, John Means returning, Braves clinching the postseason, and more!

The AL Wild Card race is tightening up big time, partly due to José Altuve's insane hot stretch including hitting 3 HRs in 3 innings last night. The Rangers find themselves outside of the playoff picture for the first time all season so we're discussing what went wrong and whether they have any fight left. We're also diving into the NL Wild card race and deciding which teams we think will prevail among the six teams still in the mix. Other topics include Justin Steele's impact on the Cubs, Julio Urías being arrested and his future in MLB, Terry Francona saying “it's time” in terms of managing in baseball, an Ohtani injury update, Rendon still ducking questions from reporters, and more.
