Baseball is Dead

Episode 460: Houston's Puppet Masters 2026-08-24 21:39:00

Episode 460: Welcome back from a weekend of baseball! Jared, Tyler, Dallas, and Jay Hay talk about every single weekend series that happened, catching you up on the latest you need to know around the league.

After talking about Dallas’s commute to work and concerts, the guys get into the mess the Houston Astros are becoming. Owner Jim Crane has fired GM Dana Brown, and Manager Joe Espada is not expected to return next season. Are these sweeping changes actually going to be substantive, or are they just hiding who the true puppet masters are in H-Town?

We turn from manager firings to the news that former All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton is done for the season, with more injuries plaguing the aging superstar. The crew speculates whether this is indeed the end of Stanton’s MLB career, as well as talking about Shohei Ohtani returning to the mound soon.
