Baseball Is Dead Episode 72: Padres Fan Fest Madness
02/08/23 • 111 min
The Padres hosted a fan fest in San Diego over the weekend and the turnout was massive. We're opening the show talking about Padres fans' response to ownership flipping the switch over the last couple years and committing to championship caliber rosters. This leads to discussion about spending in baseball and Mets owner Steve Cohen's comments on not caring how other owners view him. A former guest of this podcast was caught editing his own Wikipedia page and his name is Joe West. We're also reacting to the news of the Negro Leagues being added to MLB The Show '23. At the end of the episode we're giving our personal Mount Rushmore of players for the Expos/Nationals. Enjoy!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 71: Jazz Chisholm Jr. Gets MLB The Show Cover
Jazz Chisholm Jr. will be on the cover of MLB: The Show ‘23. While he’s one of the more electric young players in the game, the reactions to Jazz getting the nod for this year’s cover were mixed. We’re giving our opinions on MLB’s choice but first we’re talking about if it’s okay for Americans to root for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. The answer is yes. Other topics include Mike Trout never being on the cover of The Show, YouTube TV dropping MLB Network, and news and notes from this week in free agency signings. At the end of the episode we’re doing another Mount Rushmore. This time is the Los Angeles Angels. Enjoy!

Baseball Is Dead Episode 73: deGrom Delayed And Montas Surgery
Jacob deGrom arrived at Rangers spring training camp this morning and within the hour was sidelined with left side tightness. We don’t want to overreact but considering DeGrom’s injury history it’s something that definitely needs to be monitored. We also had news break during the pod that Frankie Montas needs shoulder surgery and will potentially miss the entire 2023 season. Other topics today include the new bases, new balk rules, MLB.TV broadcasting minor league baseball, Nestor Cortes Jr. opting out of the WBC, Padres win projections, and Trout saying he’ll do “anything he can to keep Shohei (in LA).” Enjoy!
