Elly De La Cruz is a star and just pulled off something incredible, but what we didn’t know is what he was doing when Terry Francona was first hired, and it says a lot about his character. A true class act.

Joe Buck joins Tim and Jeff Kurkjian and, as always, he doesn’t disappoint. The legendary play-by-play announcer has done it all, so we’ll spare you the long list of accomplishments—but trust us, it’s impressive.

I have always loved hearing Tim’s voice calling any game, and his appearances on the Le Bastard Show with Stu Gotz are always great.
This is a great podcast, and hearing this father and son duo talking about something they share a love for is priceless.
My love for baseball started with my Dad, who was turned onto the game by his Dad. My Grandpa, Don Eggleton, was a pitcher during his high school career( he pitched a no hitter his senior year) and he played for the US Navy during the Korean War(... more
Leaving this review hurts me because I LOVE Tim Kurkjian. I think he’s one of the most knowledgeable baseball analysts ever. He’s one of my favorite guests on the Tony Kornheiser podcast and that is what I’d hoped we would get from Tim’s own podcast. It is amazing how little baseball insights we get from a supposedly baseball themed podcast. The interviews are good. The stories are usually good. But, there is WAY too much time spent on “Here’s my all time list of players whose last name st... more
Being from Maryland and living in Baltimore and going to school there for HS and college, I laughed so hard listening to SVP and Tiiiiiim Kurkjian chop it up. SVP’s memories of Memorial Stadium as a kid were mine as well. He mentioned his father would take him to all those games and sit in the left field bleachers for a DH. My dad take me there to countless O’s games. He would park in the lot across from Memorial Stadium and would line his Igloo cooler with Natty Boh beers and a false styrofoam ... more
I don't even recall how I found this show but I am SO glad I did. It is so fun. The stories, the guests, the humor, the stats. It is heaven for a baseball nerd & fan like myself. It is clean, it is positive, it his historical, informative and so much more. My *ONLY* knock.....Jeff needs to ease up on Tim's lack of technological knowledge!!! Poor Tim. Jeff is a bully! 😂😂Tim has a lot on his plate, he doesn't need to know how to Facetime or set up Disney+.
Have always enjoyed Tim. The father and son duo makes me smile
