Mike Toomey has spent years in baseball — as a player, manager, coach, and scout — making it his life’s work. He’s been friends with Tim Kurkjian for so long that Jeff (now 32) can’t remember life without Mike Toomey in it.

Some of the best stories come from life on the back roads as a scout. Traveling to see players in their hometowns, as you might imagine, leads to some unforgettable moments. Then there are the stories from managing in Washington, D.C. — including the time a horse somehow ended up on the field, along with plenty of confused tourists. These are the kinds of stories you simply can’t make up.

Mike Toomey Shares His Favorite Scouting Stories

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.
