Baseball is Dead

Episode 441: Pulled In Perfection 2026-07-06 17:16:00

Episode 441: Coming off America’s 250th birthday, the crew talks about an eventful weekend of baseball and touches on every series.

Our guy Dallas, a man who has thrown his own perfect game, had a front-row seat for Eury Pérez’s seven perfect innings. Unfortunately for baseball, seven innings is all Pérez would get, and the guys go deep into the dynamics of pulling a pitcher in the middle of a perfect game.

Jared lights a candle and bids farewell to several umpires who are retiring at the end of the 2026 season, including statistically the worst umpire in baseball. 

Jay Hay has a whole oven full of hot nugs coming off the holiday weekend, so tap into the best baseball podcast on the web and get your hot dog condiment thoughts ready.
