Welcome to another jam-packed episode of SwingBadder, where we dive into the week’s worst MLB performances in the Badder5! The Nationals continue to spiral, the Rangers hit the rare Badder5 “cycle,” and the Mets prove yet again that they can’t have nice things — even after a $500 lobster roll binge.

We break down:

• The Brewers’ historic 56-hit week and the “Milwaukee Massacre” of Washington

• The Rays’ freefall and what their July collapse means

• Why the Mets’ midseason slump is déjà vu all over again

• The Rangers’ identity crisis and road woes

• The Blue Jays crashing back to Earth after a hot July

• Full July Badder5 recap — with surprise appearances by the Braves, Cardinals, and Giants

And of course, we end with predictions for next week’s worst. Will the Yankees crumble? Can the Reds prove us wrong?

The Texas Rangers just put together their best week in years, going 8–1 and lighting up both sides of the field. In this SwingBadder Rangers Recap, Brendan and Aidan break down what’s really fueling the turnaround—elite pitching, clutch hitting, and a red-hot Corey Seager.

• Patrick Corbin’s surprise success

• Seager, García, and the hunt for 30+ HR

• Why the Mariners and Astros should be nervous

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.
