BD Baseball – June 9, 2026: Vegas Launching Pad, Naylor Villain Arc & A’s–Brewers Madness

On today’s BD Baseball, Jake and I break down one of the wildest games of the season: A’s–Brewers in Las Vegas, a 12‑inning circus with 11 homers, 29 runs, 34 hits, 441 pitches, and 7 pitchers used by each side in 4 hours and 14 minutes. 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 hard he ended up on his ass at the plate. We also hit Josh Naylor’s full villain arc in Detroit – the McGonigle play at first, the sliding mitt thrown at Dingler, the cleats‑up slide through second – and why I’m now firmly in the “fuck Josh Naylor” camp, with Jake giving his view from behind home plate on Sunday. From there we dive into the ABS challenge system (Dingler’s masterclass vs umps getting petty on timing), give props to the Philly ump who let Christopher Sánchez get his ovation, and run through the rest of the board: Mariners waking up, Rays stopping their skid, Yankees’ first extra‑innings win of the year, Astros refusing to die, the Nats’ fun young offense, plus today’s best pitching matchups including Paul Skenes vs the Dodgers and J.T. Ginn back on the hill in Vegas. Enjoy your baseball and move your ass – we’re burnin’ daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
