    Tim Kurkjian's High Praise For Champion Brewers

    Since the divisional era began, Tim Kurkjian ranks this Milwaukee Brewers season among the top five of all time! That’s high praise, but rightfully so. Tim and his son, Jeff, take us through Game 5 while also looking back on an unforgettable season. Tim was on the field for the celebration and made some incredible observations, including The Miz’s reaction, Christian Yelich hugging a Brewers legend, and the love shown for a late Milwaukee hero. All of that packed into one episode? Count us in! We also wrap up our final Alphabest matchup, pitting Nolan Ryan and Babe Ruth against Greg Maddux and Willie Mays. Find out who takes the crown! Then, On This Date in Baseball History leads us into a pretty awesome edition of Team Tim. It’s an all-Brewers lineup, and the catcher might have been the toughest debate of them all. After years of coming up short, the Brewers finally deliver a World Series championship to their fans. What a season, and what a way to celebrate it!

Tim Kurkjian breaks down all the action from Games 3 and 4 of this incredible World Series. Who shined? Who faltered? And who will come out on top in Game 5? We tackle all those questions in today’s episode. Plus, what Pokémon card does The Miz think best represents this Brewers team? And what do Anthony Rizzo and Jeff Kurkjian have in common?

    Joe Maddon CHANGED The Rays Organization Forever

    Joe Maddon joins the show! The legendary former Rays manager joins us as the World Series shifts to Florida. Joe spent years with the organization and was at the helm when the Rays made their first-ever World Series appearance. But before he joins us, Tim and Jeff break down the first two games of the Fall Classic. Milwaukee has been impressive, maintaining a perfect home record throughout the playoffs. After sweeping the Dodgers in four games, the Brewers have now won back-to-back games at home in the World Series. Who have been the heroes? Where have the Rays fallen short? Tim Kurkjian breaks it all down. Then, Joe Maddon takes us back to the Rays' early days, when 100-loss seasons were the norm, and explains how the organization went from the bottom of the standings to the World Series in a hurry. That mentality helped shape the franchise for years to come. The Rays are still searching for their first World Series title after falling short in 2008 and 2020. Could this finally be their year? Joe also managed the 2016 Chicago Cubs, leading them to a championship that ended their historic title drought. Maybe some of that championship magic can rub off on the Rays! A huge thank-you to Joe for joining us, and thank you for watching or listening. As always, thanks for being a part of our family!

    Tim Dillard On Bob Uecker, Chourio and Pat Murphy

    We have big plans for the World Series, including TWO GUESTS, one for each team! Before Game 3, you’ll hear from a Rays-based guest. But today, with Game 1 getting underway in Milwaukee, we’re bringing you the hilarious Tim Dillard! Tim spent his big-league career in Milwaukee, and the former pitcher is an absolute riot. You’ve probably seen his viral clip doing a Tim Kurkjian impression right in front of our very own Tim Kurkjian. Of course, that’s where we have to start today’s interview! We talk about the legendary Bob Uecker and share some stories you may have never heard before. We also dive into Jackson Chourio and this incredible Brewers team that won 103 games playing baseball the way it was meant to be played. A lot of that success comes down to manager Pat Murphy, and Dillard explains the special things Murphy has brought to this team. He also shares the story of taking his son to a Brewers playoff game and the incredible experience of seeing it all through his eyes. Dillard tells us about the only hit he ever recorded as a pitcher and shares his love and admiration for the Nashville Sounds, where he even had his jersey retired! He’ll have you laughing throughout the interview and fired up to watch the Brewers battle for the first World Series championship in franchise history. Thanks so much for watching and listening!

    Rays Take Game 5 On Double Digit Hits and Defensive Saves

    Game FIVE of the ALCS is in the books, and the Rays are heading home with a 3-2 series lead for Monday night’s game! A valiant effort featuring double-digit hits, small ball, and outstanding defense kept the AL Central Division champs from celebrating a home victory. Tim Kurkjian weighs in on the last two games of this series. The Rays finished the regular season with 13 more wins than the Guardians, but when was the last time an underdog with that kind of deficit came out on top? We asked Frank from Elias, of course! Kevin Cash has HIGH praise for his guy Rasmussen, even comparing him to a Hall of Famer. Plus, number three hitters are supposed to hit home runs, right? Team Tim celebrates the patiently waiting Brewers, who are at home watching to see who they'll face in the World Series. Thanks to John Woodward, we're talking about beer, and a whole lot of it!
