I mean, this is a sport that's on the precipice of irrelevance.
Dallas Braden· Host0:04
The games are taking over three and a half hours. Playoff games are taking over four hours. Game's too long, too slow. Who cares?

This is a situation where baseball's in trouble to begin with. I hate to break it to you, baseball's dead.
Jared Carrabis· Host0:18
Baseball is dead.
Dallas Braden· Host0:20
Rest in peace.

Well, it's a new week. Brand new week. Brand new week of baseball. How exciting. [laughs] How exciting that, uh, some of these divisions are already decided. [laughs] Like the- we could basically just take the, the, the East off the map, yes?

Um- Mm-hmm ... but there's a lot of other guys doing some very special things for that team right now that, uh, could absolutely soften the blow of missing Ronald Acuna Jr. until he's able to come back from that grade one hammy.
