June Swoon Watch, Tigers Chaos, and ABS Meltdown | BD Baseball 6-2-26

from Burnin’ Daylight · host Matt McKinley

On today’s BD Baseball, Jake and I fire up the June Swoon Watch and take a hard look at the A’s, Cubs, and a few other clubs teetering on that edge between contender and collapse. Jake breaks down the Tigers’ wild 10–9 win over the Rays, Kerry Carpenter’s big return, and why Detroit went from best record in baseball last year to tied for the worst this year. We also dive into the ABS disaster in the A’s–Yankees series, how a frozen laptop cost Oakland a challenge, and what it means when the system that’s supposed to fix bad calls breaks down on its own. Then we hit on the new automatic check swing challenges in Triple-A, how there’s not even a clear rulebook definition of a check swing, and what that might look like if it ever comes to MLB.

Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum Daylight Media I’m Michael Rosenbaum, I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades in and out of film and television - mostly known for playing the bald dude on the show Smallville. I’m the guy that you probably don’t know by name, but when you see my face you might say “oh, that guy from that thing.” I’ve befriended some of the most talented people in the business, but it wasn’t until I started inviting them into my home that I realized, I didn’t really know these people. What started as me having some fun, quickly evolved into something I’ve fallen in love with. What I’ve discovered is that all these people aren’t that different from you and me. They have the same insecurities and flaws that we all deal with every day. In a dark, yet enlightening way... I find a lot of comfort in that. I invite you all to join me while I get inside each of these fascinating people. Explicit Let's Get Haunted Aly & Nat | Daylight Media Welcome to "the only investigative journalism podcast about sh*t that may or may not have even happened in the first place"! Brought to you by besties Aly and Nat, Let's Get Haunted is here to bring scary tales of hauntings, aliens, urban legends, and unsolved mysteries to the masses. Enjoy your daily dose of paranormal year-round with LGH! Explicit Big Mad True Crime Big Mad Media | Daylight Media Tackling big cases, lesser known cases, and everything in between. Get BIG MAD over true while we discuss the details of the cases you THOUGHT you knew. Explicit I Think You're Overthinking It Chris Hardwick | Daylight Media Hey it’s me! Chris Hardwick! This new old podcast is now called “I Think You're Overthinking It," because, well, I am an incurable overthinker. Are you? Probably! Why else would you have clicked on this? Do you lie awake at night analyzing some random conversation you had in 2009 on a loop? Or every one since then? In an economy of attention where our minds are on overdrive every second of every day it seems damn near impossible to pump the brakes on our inner chatter. We might feel okay when we’re distracted externally with work or streaming or scrolling, but when we’re not, BOY can we think ourselves into holes—these holes keep us stuck and unable to feel peace or pursue our goals.My hope is to inspire people to take a breath, get their brain out of the way a little, and take one step forward at a time. I started many things in middle age: guitar, piano, Italian, PARENTING, even farming (I still don't think I'm ready for goats, Lydia)…and what I realized is that it’s never Explicit
