Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Episode 501: Welcome back an old friend of the podcast.

Jayson Stark returns after his debut in 2018! The guys and Jayson talk about the state of baseball with the looming lockout, the date when the season becomes in jeopardy, and Jayson’s favorite moments of the 2026 postseason.

The Seattle Mariners hired a new manager to lead their organization, and it has led to fierce debate. Should teams value major league playing experience highly over candidates who haven’t made the big leagues but are excellent communicators and stat nerds? Qualifying offers extended and a big-money team pull out of the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes.

In the glow of the Brewers’ World Series win, the guys go around the horn talking about the stories and predictions from writers across the baseball universe that stuck out to the gang.

Jared talks about how electric the Brewers’ World Series parade was, as well as the touching inclusion of Bob Uecker.

They also quickly cover the Gold Glove announcements and the joke that the Platinum Glove has become as well as Bryce Harper’s comments on the offseason to come.

Episode 497: History has its eyes on the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Brewers take a commanding 3-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays, and the guys have started eulogizing the Rays’ postseason. Christian Yelich’s standout secondary (which kept the inning alive and helped the Brewers break open Game 3) is on the front of Dallas’s mind, and he gives his flowers to the Captain.

Tyler tips his cap to Robert Gasser, who has put together one of the more unlikely dominant postseason performances. JayHay acknowledges the culmination of years of effort for the Brewers’ entire organization, and Jared talks about Yelich being the embodiment of the late Bob Uecker’s spirit.

Tune into our Game 4 live stream Tuesday night—in what could be our last stream this postseason—with a DYNAMITE guest list joining us during the game live on the Baseball Is Dead YouTube page.
