Is This A Great Game, Or What?

Jeff Bradley joins us this week! Jeff creates baseball gloves specifically designed for children, and we have a great conversation about what makes these gloves different, why they’re built for our youngest players, and why adult gloves just aren’t the right fit for little hands. Plus, we share some incredible Major League glove stories that will have you laughing and smiling. Jeff has been friends with Tim Kurkjian for years, and in fact, we welcomed Jeff’s brother to the show last season! With the Gold Glove Awards being announced, there’s no better time to talk about great gloves, great fielding, and the stories behind them. That’s what this week’s episode of "Is This A Great Game, Or What?" is all about. We have a great guest and a whole lot of fun! Don't forget to subscribe or follow wherever you watch or listen.

Tim Kurkjian is back with a hilarious combination of baseball players you’re going to want to hear about, just in time for post-midterm elections! And don’t worry, we aren’t out to upset anyone. This is a politics-free zone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with elections and the names of baseball players! Tim also breaks down the Gold Glove work of some of the game's best defenders and gives us a tease of this week's guest, who knows a thing or two about gloves! Plus, On This Date in Baseball History has more than you might expect for a November date, including a legendary World Series moment. And finally, Jeff deserves a little credit here! This week's Team Tim (our second of the week) comes on the heels of Jeff's comment about players with last names starting with M. The result? An entire team made up exclusively of Hall of Famers whose last names begin with the letter M. It's pretty impressive! We've also got swag just in time for the holidays!

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!

The World Series isn’t over yet! After dropping three straight games, the Rays have something to say to the Brewers, forcing a Game 5 with a walk-off victory on their home turf. 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? Well, they both missed all the good stuff, that’s for sure! Tim also gives Yelich’s baserunning high praise and applauds the tenacity of the Rays’ offense.

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!
