For the first time in TWO AND HALF YEARS, Jayhay is podcasting with Jared and Dallas. Jayhay joins Baseball Is Dead to give his take on everything that's happened in baseball since 2020. We're basically recapping the last three years of baseball since pretty much nothing else happened this week, so if you watched baseball at all in the last three years you'll love this episode. Dallas also flexes his fantasy camp ring. Tune in next week as we continue our weekly Mount Rushmore segment with the P...

Dallas is live from Oakland A’s fantasy camp and is recording from his hotel toilet! Today we’re reacting to Carlos Correa’s THIRD contract signing of the offseason as he goes back to the Twins on a 6 year, $200 million deal. Jared compares Correa to the hot girl who left her high school sweetheart only to come back to him years later, while Joey thinks Twins fans should be thankful they got him back. We also discuss the Dodgers releasing Trevor Bauer and how the numbers would look if a team wer...

Joey's latest Baseball Doesn't Exist video is a hit piece on the Oakland Athletics and Dallas is not happy. What he is happy about is Yu Darvish throwing a bullpen session in January which already has him all horned-up for baseball. Today's topic on Baseball Is Dead is about how there's nothing to talk about (we recorded pre Rafael Devers extension). We talk baseball players vs football players fight to the death, Randy Johnson defending himself in a home invasion with baseballs, Dallas being bl...

We’re back with our last episode of 2022 and unfortunately Jared and Dallas’ friendship is over after Dallas sent a 16 x 20 framed picture of himself and Jared’s Mom and sister as a housewarming gift to Jared. Trevor Bauer has been reinstated by MLB. We’re taking a look at both his suspension compared to other recent players and if it was weighted the same, and how much backlash a team might get by signing him. The Carlos Correa deal is up in the air AGAIN and we’re predicting whether the Mets c...

In a shocking turn of events Carlos Correa is signing with the New York Mets, NOT the Giants. Apparently, Correa was DRESSED for his introductory press conference when he found out that San Francisco was backing out of the deal. We're breaking down all angles of the shocking news that dropped early Wednesday morning. Did the Giants get buyers' remorse after their fans' reaction to the signing? Is Steve Cohen spending like a maniac good for the game of baseball? Giants fans are also calling into ...

Today we start the show going through the 2021 Oakland A’s starting lineup and counting everyone who is no longer with the organization. One of those players is Sean Murphy who got traded to Joey’s Braves. We break down the trade and try to decipher why the Braves made this move, then Joey picks the Braves to win the 2023 World Series in 6. The newest Baseball Doesn’t Exist video dropped and we dive into some of the craziest mascot stories in the history of baseball. Carlos Correa signed a mega-...

We’re back after an absolutely WILD week of free agency news. Jared wants to start with the Jon Heyman debacle because if we start with Xander Bogaerts he’s just going to be miserable the whole podcast. So we hit on the whole Arson Judge and Coke Hamels situation. We then move on to some of the massive free agent deals that were signed this week. We go through Aaron Judge, Justin Verlander, Trea Turner, Josh Bell, Wilson Contreras, Cody Bellinger, and more. We also eventually get to the Xander B...

Dallas wants the hot stove resuscitated. Some are saying the upcoming Winter Meetings will kickstart free agency back into gear. Jared has heard some rumblings about the Aaron Judge sweepstakes and it seems like it’s down to the Giants and the Yankees. Justin Verlander will be 40 years old and is looking for a THREE year deal, and he should get it. Joey thinks deGrom will be the first free agent to sign at the Winter Meetings; Jared thinks signing deGrom is more of a long term play. We’re predic...

We’re back and it’s the Thanksgiving episode of Baseball Is Dead! We got the numbers in and it looks like we retained about 90% of our audience from the previous show which is AMAZING! Thank you to all the listeners who rode with us this year and we can’t wait to take it to the next level! Just like everyone predicted, the Angels have been the most active team in the offseason to this point. Our Angels correspondent joins the pod to talk some Halos to open it up. Joey dropped a new video on Dock...

The 2022 MLB awards were announced this week and Shohei Ohtani was ROBBED according to Jared. He’s been ringing the Shohei bell all year and just like he said, it came down to an East Coast bias and Aaron Judge took home AL MVP. Dallas also believes Ohtani should’ve won the award. We’re also taking a look at Judge’s comments about free agency and deciphering if he wants to leave the Yankees. We’re also diving into the Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year awards. See you next wee...

It’s the first episode of the off season and we’ve got a lot to cover. The Astros had a nice little parade, couple milli showed up. Free agency is officially here and we’re diving into all the biggest names on the market. Edwin Diaz was locked up IMMEDIATELY and signed a five-year deal with the Mets, so he’s gone. That just leaves Judge, deGrom, Verlander, Correa, Bogaerts, Dansby, and others. We’re giving our early predictions for where we think some of these guys could end up and which teams m...

The Houston Astros are your 2022 World Series Champions! After looking like the team of destiny throughout the playoffs, the Phillies offense disappeared in the final three games of the World Series and their miracle run has come to an end. Framber Valdez looked cool as a cucumber on the mound in Game 6 and pitched like he’s been there a million times (which he has). Yordan Álvarez hit a TANK to dead center field to all but clinch another title for the Astros. Jeremy Peña won World Series MVP af...

The Astros win Game 5 behind an overdue strong start by Justin Verlander in the World Series. Dallas took a victory lap after going up 1-0 in the top of the first and blocked Jared and Joey on Twitter. Chas McCormick made a spectacular catch in center field to preserve the lead in the ninth and many people are dubbing this the “Chas” game. Astros fans are upset at people saying this would be their first legit title event though it’s an absolute fact. We’re also looking ahead to Game 6 and breaki...

After getting crushed by the Phillies in Game 3, the Astros responded in a BIG TIME way by NO HITTING the Phillies in Game 4 of the World Series. Cristian Javier was absolutely dialed in all night and we’re hoping this start gets him some national attention because the dude is straight filthy. Jared gives credit to Christian Vázquez for answering the bell and calling a no-hitter when his role with the Astros has been up in the air. Joey is crediting Jesus Christ with the no-hitter because of the...

The Phillies blasted FIVE home runs in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series and remain undefeated at home in the postseason. Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh, Kyle Schwarber, Rhys Hoskins all took Lance McCullers Jr deep. During and after the game, videos were shared claiming that McCullers Jr was tipping pitches. Lance denies the rumors. Other topics include Hoskins’ wife buying beer for Phillies fans, Mr. Ranger shutting down the Astors, and Arod having an awkward hug with Jeter...

We got a tie series in the Fall Classic! The Astros got punched in the mouth in Game 1 but came out swinging in Game 2. Joey thinks the baseball Gods might have turned on the Phillies after the Schwarber foul ball followed by the Kyle Tucker catch at the wall. A video went viral of what looks like Framber Valdez mixing sweat and/or substances on the mound. We’re breaking down what we think he was doing and whether we care. We'll see you on Monday night for our Game 3 recap, enjoy! If you or some...

The Phillies STOLE Game 1 in Houston and Kyle Schwarber STOLE a taco for everyone in America. Just Verlander came out crispy and retired the first 10 batters, but the Fightins didn’t back down and came back to tie the game. We’re talking about Verlander having another shaky postseason start, Kyle Tucker calling his shot and hitting two home runs, Castellanos being locked in, Diaz leaning into a pitch, and if Game 2 is a MUST WIN for the Astros. Enjoy and we’ll see you tomorrow night for Game 2! ...

After what has felt like a month of no baseball, the World Series is finally here! Today we're previewing the 2022 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies. While we all basically agree that the Astros are better on paper in every category, three out of four of us are picking the Phillies to win it all. Dallas is the only one with the balls to pick the Astros. The Astros, on the other hand, seem to think it's going to be a quick series going no more than four or five...

Jared, Joey, and Jake were in Philly this weekend to watch the Phillies win three straight against the Padres to advance to the World Series. The voicemails are OPEN to Phillies fans and we're listening to callers come full circle on a team that was in the dumpster earlier this year. We're talking Bryce Harper's MASSIVE game-winning home run in Game 5, Rhys Hoskins putting the team on his back in Game 4, and what it was like to watch 40,000 scumbag Phillies fans see their team win a pennant. In ...

The Astros have taken a 2-0 lead over the Yankees and we’re playing that Astros music! In what Joey has proclaimed “The Wind Game,” the Astros took care of business at home and we’re heading to The Zoo down two in the ALCS. The Yankees were on the wrong end of a historic strikeout differential in Game 1 while the Astros won Game 3 behind a Bregman home run which many felt shouldn’t have left the ballpark. The NLCS is tied up and the boys are heading to Philly! We had Nola vs Nola in Game 2, some...

The Dodgers are done. The Braves are done. The Mets are done. The Yankees are on the brink of elimination. The 2022 postseason has been WILD. Today we're recapping the STUNNING Padres NLDS win over the 111-win Dodgers. The Braves were also shocked by the Phillies and got bounced out of the playoffs early, so we're covering how it all went down in Philadelphia. Game 5 between the Yankees and Guardians was postponed so we're previewing the matchup in New York. Josh Naylor took Gerrit Cole deep and...

Yordan Álvarez broke Mariners fans’ hearts on Tuesday night when he hit a three-run walk off homer off of Robbie Ray. We’re talking about how big of a swing that home run is for the Mariners chances to win this series, but they’re not done yet. Ben Verlander got bodied by Jeff Passan the same night and we’re discussing if he should’ve had to apologize. The Padres tied the series 1-1 with the Dodgers and you can’t help but wonder how Tatís Jr. is feeling right now. Does he get a ring if the Padre...

It was a WILD weekend of baseball as four teams have already been eliminated from the postseason. Most notably, the Mets are no longer in contention after winning 101 games in the regular season. Although this feels like Joey's time to dance on their grave, he feels like the Mets choking has gone too far to even make fun of them. We're breaking down their next steps as a franchise after a rough September and a good amount of their players heading to free agency. The Phillies shocked the division...

It's technically been October for seven days but everyone know October really starts today. We have a full slate of MLB Postseason games today, tomorrow, and Sunday. It's the Wild Card round and Jared, Dallas, Joey, and Jake are giving their predictions for all four series. Pujols hit 703, Judge hit 62, but Gerrit Cole's strikeout record cannot be forgotten. That's why we're breaking down his electric pump up speech in the Yankees clubhouse. Dallas is also talking about his moment in the booth w...

The Braves SWEPT the Mets in what was probably the biggest regular season series in the 2022 MLB season. Joey thinks this should be categorized as a Mets collapse and he has the stats to back to up. The Mariners clinched the playoffs and Dallas had a front row seat to watch from the broadcast booth. The Phillies took three out of four from the Nats and have a much more comfortable two-game lead over the Brewers for the final NL Wild Card spot. Ohtani signed a one-year $30 million deal with the A...

Aaron Judge has finally done it! He's now tied with Roger Maris for the most home runs in AL history. We're talking about how his home run record compares to Pujols', whether breaking 61 will make him the real home run king, and Jared's mom having more followers than Roger Maris Jr. Jared rips apart the Maris family, specifically Roger Maris Jr., for not letting Aaron Judge's family enjoy the moment and congratulating them on behalf of their father. We play the audio of Michael Kay's call and de...

Congratulations to the newest member of the 700-HR club, Albert Pujols! After a slow start to the season and chasing a record that was seemingly unattainable, Pujols turned on the jets in the second-half to make history on Friday night hitting his 699th and 700th in the same game. Meanwhile, the A's knocked around Jacob deGrom and Dallas is starting to lean toward Joey's side about not being all-in on deGrom. The Guardians clinched the AL Central after going 16-2 in their past 18 games and Jared...

Today’s show starts with Joey immediately revealing his involvement in the mascot cocaine ring. Jared woke up yesterday morning and began slandering Babe Ruth almost immediately. Aaron Judge’s recording-breaking season continues as he’s having the best September EVER and currently leads the Triple Crown race heading into today. Apple TV has the game on Friday so Yankees fans are worried that Judge’s record-breaking homer won’t be called by Michael Kay which leads us down a John Sterling rabbit h...

We're back and Jared and Dallas are trying to buy a bar outside of a baseball stadium. It's mid-September so that means from this point forward we'll be taking a look at the standings/playoff picture during every episode. Jacob deGrom fanned 13 in his outing yesterday, including eight in his first three innings. We're talking about how Buck Showalter should manage him during the playoffs with his injury trouble and his late-inning numbers. The Dodgers are already over 100 wins and they're more b...

We’re back and two thirds of the podcast is ready for the baseball season to be over. Dallas is super jealous about Aaron Judge wanting to sign with the Red Sox after he basically begged to come to Boston in a postgame interview. Jared is considering leg-lengthening surgery which Dallas is also jealous about. Alek Manoah got into it with some dude on Twitter who thinks fat guys in baseball are ruining the game which resulted in said dude deleting his account. The Angels have clinched yet another...
