Down the Stretch | BD Baseball 8-6-26

August 6, 2026 • 98 mins
It’s been a minute, but BD Baseball is back with a full trade-deadline breakdown. We dig into the A’s standing pat, the Tigers’ big swing with Skubal, the Dodgers landing another star, and how the playoff picture is shifting across both leagues. We also look at the teams that got better, the teams that stayed quiet, and the clubs that may have changed their outlook for the rest of the season. Plus: Chadwick Tromp...

BD Baseball Daily – Walk‑offs, Dumbest Angels Walk‑off Ever, and Dansby’s 11 RBI Day (6/24/26)

June 25, 2026 • 42 mins
BD Baseball Daily for Thursday, June 24, 2026, and the board was absolutely loaded. Matt runs through a full slate that included an A’s gut‑punch walk‑off loss to the Giants in “Gaytown,” a dumb Angels walk‑off swinging bunt, and a monster day from Dansby Swanson in a Cubs doubleheader sweep. We open with the A’s getting walked off at Oracle: Gage Jump shoves for five scoreless with nine punchouts, Tyler ...

BD Baseball 6/24/26 – Chaos Comebacks, Astros–Jays in 11, A’s Banged Up, Pitchers Shove & Today’s Best Bets

June 24, 2026 • 34 mins
Rough one for the BD Baseball crew: the A’s, Rockies, and Tigers all take Ls, and we start with the injury that ended Zack Gelof’s 24‑game hit streak after Matt Chapman stepped on his hand in San Francisco as Robbie Ray completely shuts down Oakland. Sonny Gray carves the Rockies at Coors, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the Yankees come back on the Tigers, and Jake McCarthy quietly runs his hit streak to 12 games. From there,...

Tigers Beat the Yankees, Rockies Walk It Off & Pitchers Ran MLB Yesterday | BD Baseball June 23, 2026

June 23, 2026 • 39 mins
On today’s BD Baseball, I’m running through the June 22 MLB slate from my usual emotionally compromised A’s/Rockies/Tigers point of view. The A’s were off, which honestly felt like a little break from the chaos. But the Tigers gave me something real to talk about, beating the Yankees 5-3 behind a strong Framber Valdez start, a Riley Greene homer, and enough offense to knock Gerrit Cole around. Then the Ro...

Father’s Day Baseball, A’s Bullpen Pain & Schwarber’s Nuke Weekend | BD Baseball June 22, 2026

June 22, 2026 • 44 mins
Happy Monday, Daylight Burners. I spent Father’s Day doing exactly what I wanted to do: watching baseball and yelling at my kids, and the baseball gods gave us a stupid amount of chaos to talk about. I kick things off with my A’s splitting a four-gamer with the Angels in West Sac – Friday night was pure insanity. The A’s go up early, the Angels rip off 11 straight, Oakland claws back with bombs from Jacob W...

A’s Pitching Shoves, Royals Drop 14 & Yankees Get Slammed | BD Baseball June 19, 2026

June 19, 2026 • 36 mins
Solo BD Baseball for Friday, June 19. I’m running through Thursday’s short MLB slate, starting with a clean A’s win, Gage Jump shoving, Zack Gelof staying hot, the Royals putting up 14, Bryan Woo dealing, and the rest of the weekend matchups. Solo show today on BD Baseball, and we had a light Thursday slate — only eight games — but there was still plenty to chew on. The A’s gave me a good one f...

A’s Get Smoked, Rockies Fall Short, Tigers Go Cold | BD Baseball June 18, 2026

June 18, 2026 • 66 mins
Rough day for the BD Baseball crew. The A’s got shelled, the Rockies lost a close one at Wrigley, and the Tigers bats went cold in Houston — so naturally, we had plenty to work through. In this episode of BD Baseball, we run through the full June 17 MLB slate with a little extra attention on the homer teams. The A’s pitching staff got beat up by the Pirates, Ryan O’Hearn drove in six, and Zack Gelof at lea...

A’s Blow It, Rockies Steal One & Tigers Waste Framber | BD Baseball June 17, 2026

June 17, 2026 • 58 mins
Jake’s back on the mic and we had a full MLB slate to chew through. The A’s jumped out early on the Pirates, Zach Gelof stayed hot, and then the bullpen let another one slip away. The Rockies gave us the bright spot of the day with a win at Wrigley, while the Tigers wasted a good Framber Valdez start and opened up a bigger conversation about Detroit’s rotation and bullpen decisions. We also get into the rest of ...

A’s Bats Are Cooking, Tigers Go Deep & Rockies Pain at Wrigley | BD Baseball 6-16-26

June 16, 2026 • 39 mins
The homer teams had themselves a night… well, two of them did, anyway. The A’s absolutely stomped the Pirates 11–2, led by a full‑on manimal performance from Nick Kurtz: three hits, two nukes, five driven in, and a pretty clear “vote me into the All‑Star Game” message to the league. Old man Jeff McNeil – the Flying Squirrel – finally woke up too, with three hits and four RBI out of the bot...

My A’s Won the Series… But Sunday Was a Crime Scene | BD Baseball 6-15-26

June 15, 2026 • 55 mins
My A’s took the weekend series from my Rockies, so technically I should be happy. But then Sunday happened. Colorado dropped a franchise-record 23 runs on 24 hits in Las Vegas, and the A’s got absolutely slobber-knocked in the getaway game. Willi Castro went off, Hunter Goodman nearly hit for the cycle, and Las Vegas Ballpark kept playing like a launchpad. In this episode of BD Baseball, I start with the homer teams ...

A’s Climb Back, Rockies Stick It to the Cubs & Tigers Get Rolling | BD Baseball June 12, 2026

June 12, 2026 • 50 mins
Welcome back, Daylight Burners. Jake and I are back on BD Baseball and the season is heating up. The A’s got themselves a day off after climbing back toward .500, which is probably a good thing before the Rockies come to town this weekend. The Rockies, meanwhile, had one of those games where the box score tells you they should’ve been in it, and then you look up and they lost by six. Twelve hits, still got beat 9-3, b...

Screw(worm) Iran! — Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report June 12, 2026

June 12, 2026 • 66 mins
Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report for Friday, June 12, 2026. We wrap the week with a full run‑through of the board, the barns, and the Beltway. August live closes in the low 240s while August feeders rip higher, five‑area cash holds in the mid‑250s, and the basis blows out to roughly $14. We walk the Sale Barn Pulse and National Beef Wire runs: $4‑plus calves from Missouri and Kansas, nearly $500/cwt on high‑end New Mexico ca...

Jake and I break down a wild day in baseball, starting with the homer teams: the A’s taking two out of three from Milwaukee and the Rockies walking off the Cubs. Then we hit the rest of the MLB chaos: the Giants’ ridiculous comeback, Drew Rasmussen punching out 13, the Yankees sweeping Cleveland, the White Sox taking over the AL Central, the Pirates stunning the Dodgers, Max Scherzer reaching 3,500 strikeouts, and Reid...

Good morning, Daylight Burners. This is the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report for Thursday, June 11, 2026. Live cattle are firming back up, feeders love the cheaper corn, hogs are soft, and the grain complex is still weak – but the real world is loading for bear.

We talk about Vegas playing like Coors on steroids, Shay Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom going deep, Nick Kurtz leaving the yard entirely, and William Contreras hitting a tank so ...

Happy Friday, Daylight Burners. Jake is out today, so I’m rolling solo through a lighter MLB slate that still gave us plenty to talk about. I’ve got to start with the A’s, because that one hurt. JT Ginn gave Oakland six innings, two hits, one run, and eight punchouts. That is exactly the kind of start you want. The offense did its job too. Shea Langeliers hit an inside-the-park homer and another shot, Tyler Sode...
