About this episode
The episode discusses Christopher Sanchez's potential historic achievement, Lou Gehrig Day, and various baseball topics including player performances and memorable moments.
Christopher Sanchez is on the brink of making some history—probably just two starts away from it! Tim and Jeff are heading to the ballpark tomorrow to celebrate Lou Gehrig Day. ALS is a cause that has touched the Kurkjian family deeply, following the passing of Uncle Matt (Tim’s brother) from the disease in 2023. If you can, make it out to a ballpark on Tuesday, June 2, and help support a great cause. Shohei Ohtani wants a Cy Young Award. Knowing him, he'll probably find a way to get one. But with pitching dominating in both leagues, it won't come easy. Plus, the Washington Nationals are scoring runs in bunches! We also look back at one of our all-time favorite Bobby Valentine moments. Ronald Acuña Jr. is back and better than ever, and Fernando Tatis Jr. finally does it! The Wheel of Kurkjian returns on a Monday, which is always a good thing—especially with Tim and Jeff back together in the basement studio. We talk dance recitals, baseball, and feminine baseball player names. Don't forget to subscribe and follow wherever you listen or watch. Thank you for being a part of our family!
