This week’s SwingBadder recap dives into the ugliest performances in Major League Baseball. For the first time in Batter Five history, the Cleveland Guardians top the list in back-to-back weeks after a winless 0–6 stretch. But they’re not alone in misery.

The St. Louis Cardinals managed just one win and scored zero runs in four losses, the New York Yankees make their debut on the list after getting swept, the Atlanta Braves slide further into irrelevance, and the always-feisty Tampa Bay Rays finally show their cracks.

Hosts Todd, Todd, and Dad break down each team’s collapse, what it says about their front offices, and whether any of them are buyers or sellers heading into the All-Star break.
