Baseball Is Dead Episode 34: The Padres Are STACKED

Published: Aug. 5, 2022, 8:53 p.m.

b'Juan Soto got traded to the San Diego Padres along with basically everyone else who was on the trade block. The Padres are STACKED with superstars which begs the question does their lineup potentially fuck more than the Braves? Dallas thinks Josh Bell shouldn\'t have been at the introductory press conference because he was stealing shine from Soto. Joey is also formally accusing the Padres owner of selling drugs to fund the team. Swinging Friar might be the worst mascot name in sports and we debate why the fuck he\'s called that. We do a quick throwback to Rikk from Chevy with the absolute worst WS MVP presentation of all time. Jared gets on Dallas for always trying to work teams that he has personal beef with into conversations that has nothing to do with them. The Angels hit seven home runs and fucking lost to the A\'s which is the perfect depiction of Angels baseball. The Mets and Braves are in the middle of a five game set and Edwin Diaz is firmly in Joey\'s nightmares even if he won\'t admit it. We also dive into all the team-friendly contracts that the Braves have. Just Verlander may be the new favorite for AL Cy Young and we\'re taking a look at his year as a whole. The Brewers are in shambles after they traded their All-Start/best closer in the league. We talk about the players reaction to trading Josh Hader. We also compare Dodgers and Padres fans and try to decide who is rowdier, and who cares more about baseball. It came out that the Angels "never came close" to trading Ohtani and we talk about the direction of the franchise. Vin Scully passed away this week so Jared and Dallas pay their respects and talk about how he changed the game of baseball.
