Marathon Of A Baseball Game

About this episode

The episode discusses the speed of baseball, features a GameChanger of the Week, and includes a debate on notable players.

Brand new look—who dis? For those listening on the audio stream, thank you! But we highly recommend checking out our new YouTube look. Just search “Is This A Great Game, Or What” on YouTube to see the upgraded vibe. Alright, onto the episode. We’ve got another GameChanger of the Week to keep you entertained—this one tied to our friend Max Scherzer and something he said during our interview earlier this week. If you missed it, go back and listen. Seriously, it’s worth it. The Boston Marathon has Tim Kurkjian thinking about the speed of the game we love. Plus, we debate the greatest last-name “E” hitter and pitcher—who’ve you got? We also rifle through three more cards featuring incredible stories, including Joey Meneses—one we didn’t know we needed in our lives. And to wrap things up, it’s a Team Tim edition in celebration of the NFL Draft kicking off tonight. It’s a packed show, with a tease for next week’s amazing guest. Thanks for watching and listening!
