Baseball Is Dead Episode 153: Ohtani Gets Elbow Surgery

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! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!
