The Houston Astros have been one of the best teams in baseball since 2015. With multiple World Series wins and four American League pennants, they’ve been a model of success in MLB.

However, all things must end eventually.

Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the Astros dynasty and if their trip to the Bronx this week could result in the final death knell on this season. Between their underperforming offense and their disappointing pitching, after a pounding by the New York Yankees on Tuesday, the Astros are a shell of what we’ve been used to.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast the guys get into the Toronto Blue Jays’ struggles this year and if it’s time to panic about them, Corbin Carroll possibly on the rebound following his rough start to the season and they discuss all the happenings in the NL Central.

Later, Jake & Jordan are joined by comedian Eitan Levine as they dive into his journey attempting to break the Guinness world record for most first pitches in a season and they close out the show talking about the Detroit Tigers new City Connect uniforms and why the Rays can’t stop wearing theirs.

It’s not too often you see a big-time trade in the beginning of May, but the San Diego Padres struck while the iron was hot and acquired two-time batting champ Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins this past weekend.

Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the trade made by general manager A.J. Preller, the instant impact that the two-time All-Star has already had on the Padres and why it’s a clear sign that the team is focused on making the postseason this year.

Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake & Jordan break down every series from this past weekend, including a potential NLCS preview that saw the Los Angeles Dodgers sweeping the Atlanta Braves thanks to Shohei Ohtani going full MVP mode, the Seattle Mariners taking two of three from the Houston Astros causing the 'Stros to sink even further in the AL West and why Jordan is finally jumping ship on the St. Louis Cardinals after a dreadful weekend against the Chicago White Sox.

You never know who will become an instant celebrity in baseball. This was the case on Tuesday night at Chase Field, when the game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers was delayed by two hours due to an invasion of bees.
