Baseball is back after the All-Star break — and so is chaos.

This week’s SwingBadder dives into the most disappointing teams in baseball, and it’s a shocking list: the Tigers completely fall apart, the Braves confirm what we’ve been warning about for weeks, and the Giants lose in brutal fashion to teams like the Mets and Blue Jays. We also cover the Cardinals’ crash, the Twins’ wasted opportunity, and what it all means heading into the final nine weeks of the season.

You’ll hear why the Braves are officially done, why Detroit’s slump is more alarming than it looks, and why San Francisco just doesn’t have what it takes. Plus: a hilarious rant on promotional giveaways, trade deadline vibes, and a BeerFest/KidFest scheduling disaster.

Who’s rising, who’s falling, and who’s faking it? This is the most critical BadderFive of the season.
