  • Andy Pages vs. Dikembe Mutombo, HUH?
    Jul 9 2026

    Tim Kurkjian impressions were a big thing back in the day, and he finally reveals which one he thinks is the best...but you'll have to wait for that. The strikeout rate continues to be one of the biggest storylines in baseball this season. Plus, remember the name Tyler Tolbert, because he's about to make history!

    The Dodgers came close to setting a record for the fewest extra-inning games, while Andy Pages somehow gets compared to Dikembe Mutombo and Manute Bol—a comparison we definitely didn't see coming. And can you Weathers this Quirkjian? We're not sure you'll be able to.

    On This Date features Robin Roberts, Ted Williams, and Alex Rios (no, not Jeff's father-in-law). Plus, Tim shares a hilarious ESPN taxi cab story involving a mistake that any diehard baseball fan could've made...right?

    The Alphabest letter "P" gives us the perfect excuse to celebrate the incredible career of Albert Pujols while debating which "P" pitcher deserves a spot on the list. Jeff also pulls three cards from the 2001 box for Tim, including one featuring a player whose brother was a Major League umpire—a baseball connection most fans never knew.

    Finally, a member of the Kurkjian family puts Tim to the test with Team Tim. It's a challenge that proves difficult for multiple reasons—sometimes because there just aren't enough options, and other times because there are far too many.

    Join us LIVE in Philadelphia on Monday, July 13, and Tuesday, July 14, from 12:00-12:40 p.m. ET at Iron Hill Brewery (1150 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19107). Both shows will stream live on YouTube (make sure to subscribe!) and will also be available wherever you get your podcasts later that day.

    Thanks so much for watching or listening, and thanks for being part of our family!
