  • Best Bay Area coverage / Must Listen

    TK and Barrows are fantastic. Not a baseball fan but still find good chunks of North/South interesting. Dylan brings a great lens.

    TK is a mainstay and a thoughtful narrator to Bay Area Sports. It’s no coincidence that he’s the local journalist that gets Kerr, Dunleavy, Shanahan, Lynch and Lacob to join and do solo pods. He has the respect of the folks that are leading and the bay’s sports scene.

    Barrows has been one of the best beat writers in the business for a long time. How many best ... more

  • TK is a blowhard.

    TK is a blowhard. Stop it. Never says anything definitive. His writing has been the same way for 15+ years. Merc got rid of him and people hate when he calls into 95.7. Not even worth the troll.

  • Just skip anything with Tim

    Tim is fundamentally one of the most dishonest people in Bay Area sports media. He has neither of a knowledge of statistical analysis or in game experience. And his behavior online is bizarre and unprofessional. Honestly I wish nothing but the absolute worst for him.
