Episode 442: Midweek BID’s never disappoint. Tyler is powering through a devastating back injury to join the show, rocking a posture straight out of Playboy magazine.
The MLB Draft looms this Sunday, and the guys break down who’s projected to go first overall. Plenty of the top names have already been guests on Baseball Is Dead, so don’t be surprised if the crew goes live to watch their guys get drafted.
Jared shouts out loyal BID listener Cam Schlittler, the crew recaps Ryan O’Hearn’s monster 10-RBI performance, and they speculate on just how high Shohei Ohtani can climb on the all-time home run list.

First 90 secondsJared Carrabis· Host0:00
[dramatic music] 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.
Tyler Milliken· Panelist0:15
I hate to break it to you, baseball's dead.
Jared Carrabis· Host0:18
Baseball is dead.
Dallas Braden· Host0:20
Rest in peace.
Jared Carrabis· Host0:23
[dramatic music] I love how, uh, McAfee is in the open of, of the show being like, "Baseball's dead." I think he's doing the red carpet for the All-Star Game this year. [laughs] [laughs] Um, I like that he has leaned into baseball, though. Like, that line is probably, at this point, from like five or six years ago. But him embracing Jeff Passan, uh, has been great for the sport. Platforming, uh, little Jeffrey, uh, who by the way, I don't know if you guys remember this, Jeff Passan made our young T, who's, who's late... He's like, he should be on the injured list right now. He's fighting through injury right now.
Tyler Milliken· Panelist0:57
It's really bad.
Jared Carrabis· Host0:59
Jeff Passan made T shave his beard, and he, he couldn't even get a retweet. Couldn't even get a like.
Tyler Milliken· Panelist1:04
[laughs] Not even a response or a reply.
Jared Carrabis· Host1:07
Not a reply.
Tyler Milliken· Panelist1:07
I would've, I would've loved to be fried by Jeff Passan. That would've been one of those things I put on my resume.
Jared Carrabis· Host1:11
I mean, he kind of did. Like, he, he made you shave your beard, and then he was like, "Yeah, that's not even important enough for me to re- respond to." But that's not even being worthy of, like, beating that kid up in the parking lot or just roasting him in front of everyone.
Tyler Milliken· Panelist1:22
Yeah.
Jared Carrabis· Host1:22
It's like, "No, he's so irrelevant that I'm not even gonna acknowledge how dumb and ugly he looks." You know what, Jose? Book, book Jeff Passan. Let's get Passan on
