Episode 444: Welcome to the start of the 2026 All-Star Break. It’s been a long and winding road for every team, but who or what has been the biggest surprise from the first half of the season? The guys discuss plenty of surprises, including the Chicago White Sox in a prime playoff position despite low preseason odds and the Pittsburgh Pirates boasting the second-best offense in baseball.
Jared and the crew share their Home Run Derby selections before Jared heads to Media Day in Philadelphia. Jay Hay, Dallas, and Tyler stick around to talk about how sweep-happy the league was in its final series before the break. They also chat about the draft that took place this weekend. Check out our interviews with three of the top four picks from this year’s draft on the Baseball Is Dead YouTube page!
They wrap up the show talking about JJ Wetherholt getting a bag to stay in St. Louis, and Dallas shouts out the efforts of now-former A’s pitching coach Scott Emerson. Tune in to a Monday edition of BID, and stick around for Wednesday morning’s recap of the All-Star Game!
