Keith Hernandez joins us as a member of the Strat-O-Matic Hall of Fame. Oh yeah, and he was a really REALLY good MLB player as well. He makes it onto a special "Best of All-Tim" team that we hear about. Tim Kurkjian was just inducted into the Strat-O-Matic Hall of Fame, and we hear his best stories of the game. 

Trout, Ohtani and more updates from Kurkjian from Spring Training. Plus a huge announcement about the future of this podcast (don't worry, it's REALLY good news).

Memorial Day is today, and we thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can continue to live in a free country. We’re grateful beyond words. So many major leaguers have put their lives on the line to serve our great country, and we talk about some of the best during today’s episode. And don’t forget to wait for Team Tim!

Konnor Griffin has clearly figured something out in his 20s — you love to see it. Plus, Christopher Sánchez is doing something for the Phillies that hasn’t been done since before World War I. And Trey Yesavage? Yeah… you’re not homering off him.

There were strikeouts everywhere, including a pair of Yankees teammates who might be swapping places in the record books. Nolan Arenado did something amazing on just the sixth pitch of the entire game. Plus, what in the world is going on with Tatis Jr.?

On This Date in Baseball History, we talk Omar Vizquel, Josh Beckett, Joe West, and Chris Young. We also hear about Tim’s homemade jersey for which player?

Baseball Team of Players Who Served Our Country

It’s May 21st, and Tim comes out of the gate putting Jeff to the test. Did he take the bait and miss, or hit the nail on the head? We open with pitching, because it is just that good right now.

Our GameChanger of the Week looks at how hitters are reacting to the incredible pitching we’re seeing. Is this the end of the long-ball era? Maybe??

Just when we thought a once-in-a-lifetime extra-inning performance was behind us, another one came out of nowhere. More pitching records that made us laugh, and a no-no leads to a walk-off? You don’t see that often.

Happy birthday to the late Bobby Cox, and what an amazing character our game lost this month. We spin the Wheel of Kurkjian and talk ambidexterity and inside-the-park homers, then wrap it all up with Three Cards in the Bathroom.

A No-No Bid Becomes Walk-Off Loss

Eric Nadel is a National Baseball Hall of Fame broadcaster, and along with Tim Kurkjian, that gives us TWO Hall of Famers on this episode (plus, Jeff is here too).

Eric has covered the Texas Rangers for almost 50 years, and the stories he shared are incredible. We laughed so hard our cheeks hurt afterward.

From taking Mike Emrick’s job to Municipal Field being better known as “Iowjima,” my gosh, we couldn’t stop laughing with him. Little-known fact: Eric helped Tim find his first house in Dallas, where both of his kids were born.

These two have an incredible amount of history together, and this interview is long overdue. We couldn’t be happier to bring it to you.

Thanks for listening. Make sure to subscribe or follow wherever you’re listening right now because it means a lot to us. Thanks for being a part of our family!
