First full weekend of baseball and Tim and Jeff Kurkjian have you ready for a ton of Takeaways and Quirkjians. Don't forget to submit yours at GreatGameOrWhat.com, it's that easy!

The 2026 season is underway with a whole lot of strikeouts—are we surprised? But it’s the star power behind those strikeouts that’s really driving us crazy! Plus, we have ABS in full swing. Tim and Jeff weigh in on its effectiveness and break down the rules behind it (for those who might not know—like Jeff’s wife).

A hidden ambidextrous player got Tim all giddy, and we highlight some great birthdays in “On This Date” in baseball history. Finally, Tim celebrates the anniversary of a player’s retirement.

Now that we’re in the full swing of the regular season, remember—we’ve got three episodes a week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. So make sure to hit that subscribe or follow button so you don’t miss a thing!
