Field of Dreams Stale? Dodgers Bullpen Panic? & Dallas Braden’s Birthday | Baseball Is Dead Ep #456

Episode 456: Birthdays aplenty this week for the BID community.

Dallas celebrated his birthday yesterday, and the guys talk about his day as well as the early voting results from the Patreon-exclusive Baseball Nickname Draft. Jared, Tyler, Jay Hay, and Dallas all talk about the struggles that former All-Star closer Edwin Díaz finds himself in during his first year with the Dodgers. But will the Dodgers’ bullpen struggles be a factor in October?

The crew discusses that and the stale feeling that the Field of Dreams game is leaving after its return. Before Dallas departs, they blow some horns for players around the league and talk about the rise of the first homegrown ace the Boston Red Sox have had in a long time.

Jay Hay sends us into the weekend with a look at the series about to be played and gives us those hot, fresh, award-winning nugs.
