Welcome to SwingBadder: Badder Five – where we don’t just talk baseball, we expose the worst-performing MLB teams of the week and the dollars they wasted doing it. 💸⚾

This week’s Badder Five features:

• The Kansas City Royals scoring just 11 runs despite playing the A’s (!)

• The Washington Nationals tumbling with a six-game losing streak

• The Minnesota Twins allowing 34 runs in 3 games to the Rangers (yes, those Rangers)

• The St. Louis Cardinals sliding down the NL Central standings

• And a disappointing week for the Cleveland Guardians

We also dive into:

• The Royals’ $217 million payroll flop

• Why the Twins’ minus-30 run differential earns historic shame

• The shocking power of the Calzone Kids

• Rockies’ domination of the NL East (?!)

• Predictions: Will the Mets, Giants, or Reds hit the Badder 5 next?

This is the podcast that breaks down who spent the most and lost the hardest. If you’re tired of sugarcoated baseball coverage, you’re in the right place.
