    Jun 19 2026
    Episode 434: The dawn of a new era has arrived. Baseball Is Dead Family Feud has leveled up with the addition of a rotating fourth player. Each Thursday, a new guest will join the mix to complete a 2-vs-2 round. Teammates will be bonded for life… and hearts will be broken forever. Before the feud begins, the guys break down the major change Major League Baseball made to the Home Run Derby rules — the clock is gone, replaced by a set number of swings. The crew shares their thoughts on the new format, along with the official start of award season in Casa de Carrabis. Shohei Ohtani’s “struggles” on the mound have the guys intrigued as he continues his historic chase for both the MVP and Cy Young in what’s shaping up to be one of the greatest National League Cy Young races in history. Finally, Bruce Meyer joins Baseball Is Dead to break down the latest in MLB labor negotiations. Will there be a strike? Will games be missed? And is a salary cap actually coming to baseball?

    Jun 17 2026
    Episode 433: All-Star season is officially here! The first round of voting has been released, and Dallas has officially begun his campaign for Nick Kurtz to make the All-Star Game. The conversation then shifts to a debate over who the best catcher in baseball is following Drake Baldwin’s return to the Atlanta Braves. According to recent reporting, the San Francisco Giants are open for business. A disastrous season has forced Buster Posey to try to move the big contracts of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman. The guys break down exactly what it would take to trade those massive deals and who among the three high-dollar players is the real prize. The Giants remain in the news for all the wrong reasons. Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker all wrote Bible verses on their hats during Pride Night at the stadium, turning a night meant for inclusion into a debate about something much bigger. Lastly, the guys show some love for players who are succeeding around the league on the eve of a landmark edition of Baseball is Dead. 00:00:00 - Vote Nick Kurtz 00:08:27 - Who Is the Best Catcher in Baseball? 00:21:12 - The Giants Are Open for Business 00:41:35 - What Team With a Losing Record Would You Want to Take Over? 00:48:49 - Giants Pride Night Controversy 01:07:34 - Show ’Em Some Love 01:20:44 - Final Thoughts | Join the BID Patreon!

The guys break down his first start back and discuss what the future holds for the lefty. Jacob Misiorowski delivered a masterpiece that left the entire league in awe.

Jay Hay puts the historic start in proper perspective and gives it the praise it deserves. Jared and Tyler ask Dallas about his final days in Las Vegas with the A’s, plus the record-breaking day the Colorado Rockies had in Sin City.

The guys show some love to Cristopher Sánchez for his historic 50 2/3-inning scoreless streak while also taking stock of a loaded NL Cy Young race.

    Episode 427: Seattle Storms Back
    Jun 3 2026
    Episode 427: Welcome to a midweek edition of Baseball Is Dead. Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler react to the Seattle Mariners’ eight-game winning streak that has vaulted them into first place in the AL West. Julio Rodríguez’s recent power surge has the guys debating what type of hitter they’d rather build around: a pure power bat like Julio or a more balanced offensive profile like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Fernando Tatis Jr., who have traded some power for more contact this season. Gage Jump’s second big-league start continues to impress and has Dallas dreaming about the wave of young arms that could be joining the Athletics in the near future. Kyle Harrison’s dominance against his former club leaves Jared and Tyler wondering what changes have fueled his recent success. To close out the show, the crew brings back Show’em Some Love, highlighting players who stood out with impressive performances over the past week. 00:00:00 - Ace Joins The Show 00:01:27 - What Gets T Going in The Gym? 00:04:40 - Julio Rodriguez and 1st Place Mariners 00:20:26 - Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | To Power or Not To Power 00:23:21 - Gage Jump and the Athletics Emerging Pitching Staff 00:33:13 - Another Kyle Harrison Masterclass vs Former Team 00:46:38 - Cam Schlittler Hits a Speed Bump 01:01:56 - Show’em Some Love 01:15:51 - Injury Roundup: Aaron Judge & Garrett Crochet 01:18:09 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:21:51 - Final Thoughts Support the Fight Against ALS: http://Cubs.com/alsauction NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 Get $20 on Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/SECTION10 For simple, online access to personalized and affordable care for Hair Loss, ED, Weight Loss, and more, visit Hims.com/BID Upgrade your wallet today!
