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?
