Tim Kurkjian and his son Jeff are joining the Foul Territory Network! Subscribe to Is This A Great Game, Or What wherever you get your podcasts and also on YouTube.

Tim is at Spring Training and fired up to talk about everything he’s seen so far. The impact of the World Baseball Classic is already being felt across clubs, and looming negotiations for the 2027 season are hanging over just about everyone.

“On This Date” in baseball history inspires a brand-new Team Tim — and it wasn’t an easy roster to build.

Jeff took the lead on baseball cards this week, and it didn’t disappoint. He even pulled from his personal collection, so we’ve got some heavy hitters (and pitchers) featured in this episode.

Go-time for the Blue Jays, All-but-cooked Tigers on life support

It's not fair! The AL East has to beat itself up before someone gets to face the weaker side of the bracket in the ALCS. Does MLB need to reseed the playoffs? (top of show)

(15:15) A game headlined by Paul Skenes and Logan Webb looked like a pitchers' duel on paper, but that wasn't the case Tuesday night.

(17:59) The Phillies have a shot at catching the Braves this weekend when the two teams meet for a three-game set. Atlanta, buckle up.

(20:49) The Ketel Marte story doesn't go away until he owns it. A controversial hat sure isn't helping his case.

(34:39) The Brewers play a brand of baseball nobody else does. How does it work? Can it last?

(43:18) The Phillies Show has a big opportunity coming for fans in Philadelphia.

(46:08) Mariners monster prospect Laz Montes signed the Green Monster before a debut nobody in Seattle will forget.
