Welcome to "Is This A Great Game, Or What?" hosted by Hall of Famer Tim Kurkjian, with everything else handled by his son, Jeff Kurkjian. The MLB Trade Deadline is looming, so you know we're diving into plenty of speculation and discussion. But first, Tim has a question about a walk-off automatic double that has us scratching our heads, and we'd love to hear your thoughts. We all know what an Immaculate Inning is, but what do you call it when a pitcher throws just three pitches and records three outs? Tim may have come up with the perfect name. In Takeaways, we discuss the Marlins' slump, the Angels' continued struggles, and somehow... The Miz. Plus, Max Muncy has officially cemented his place in Dodgers history. The Quirkjians feature Shane Bieber and Jacob Young with some of the best quirky baseball stats you'll find anywhere. Then, On This Date in Baseball History takes an unexpected turn involving Adrian Beltre and Bud Selig. Alphabest continues as Tim tries to name the greatest pitcher and position player for every letter of the alphabet. This week, the letter "S" might have given him his toughest challenge yet. We wrap things up with Three Cards and Team Tim to close out another fun episode. As always, thank you for listening. Without you, there is no show, and we truly appreciate all of your support.

We did. :30- Mariners Morning After The bats were busy for both sides last night, but the Mariners outpaced the Dodgers with 5 home runs and a 7-6 win, led by Dom Canzone. Even Rob Refsnyder had a home run and Cal & Julio too! :45- It was a big day in the broadcasting world yesterday as one of the best hangs up his Kraken skates and a Dawg takes her throne.

The Dodgers returned from the All-Star break by winning consecutive road series against the Yankees and Phillies, but plenty of questions remain. Roki Sasaki and Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered big performances in New York, while Justin Wrobleski and Eric Lauer helped quiet Philadelphia's dangerous lineup. Max Muncy starred in both series, Tommy Edman looked like his pre-injury self, and the Dodgers continued delivering in key situations. The crew also discusses Kyle Tucker's disappointing season and whether buyer's remorse is setting in, Emmet Sheehan's potential and struggles, and what the Dodgers still need before the trade deadline. Plus, the latest on Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Edwin Díaz and Kiké Hernández, along with a breakdown of the Seth Halvorsen trade and the Dodgers' upcoming promotional schedule.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji hosts a solo Thursday edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Out of Vegas AM feed, opening by cashing in on Wednesday's best bet, the Los Angeles Dodgers moneyline behind Eric Lauer against Aaron Nola, a game that saw Lauer allow a first inning two run homer to Alec Bohm before the Dodgers rallied for a 9 to 5 win, punctuated by a Max Muncy homer and a four run eighth inning, with the Dodgers team total over four and a half cashing alongside it. With only five games on the Thursday slate, Manji narrows his focus to three matchups starting after 3pm Eastern. At the 3:33 mark he opens with the Tampa Bay Rays visiting the Toronto Blue Jays in a series finale Toronto enters having been outscored 23 to 5, breaking down Rays starter Ian Seymour, a pitcher who has allowed a home run in every start he has made in July, against Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber, whose command issues, a 1.73 WHIP over the season, outweigh a recent six shutout inning outing against the Chicago White Sox, landing on the Rays team total over four and a half as the preferred angle. At 8:28 the show shifts to the Arizona Diamondbacks at the St. Louis Cardinals, where Brandon Pfaadt and Michael McGreevy have both settled into strong recent form, Pfaadt winning each of his last four starts and McGreevy allowing no more than two earned runs in any of his last four outings, with wind blowing in at St. Louis pushing Manji toward the first five innings under four. At 12:51 the final matchup covered sends the Kansas City Royals to Detroit, where Troy Melton, sitting at 5 and 1 with a 1.80 ERA, draws Randy Dobnak, a reliever making a spot start for a Royals team that has struggled badly away from home this season, a combination that leads Manji to name the Detroit Tigers first five innings run line as his best bet of the show. From there the podcast pivots into a National Football League win total breakdown of the Cincinnati Bengals, part of a season long wager preview presented alongside Pregame dot com. Manji frames Zac Taylor as the only returning head coach in the AFC North, recaps a 6 and 11 finish a year ago, and credits an offseason overhaul on defense, including the additions of Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen up front and Jordan Battle, Bryan Cook, and DJ Turner in the secondary, before turning to the health of quarterback Joe Burrow, who played only eight games last season, as the swing factor for a Bengals team that also retains Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown on offense. He walks through a favorable opening schedule stretch, the team's 2026 draft class led by edge rusher Cashius Howell, and division and playoff odds before landing on the over on a win total of nine and a half games, also flagging long odds on the Bengals to earn the AFC's number one seed. The episode closes with a recap of the Tigers first five innings run line as the best bet of the show and a preview of a full weekend slate returning Friday, with regular co-host Uncle Dave expected back in the chair on Monday to weigh in on the Bengals outlook himself.

Tim Parker is back from Philadelphia and the crew — Grant, Tim and David Bloom — has a night full of receipts. The Miami Heat accidentally published, then scrambled to delete, a scheduled video dated July 27 — and Grant, who lives inside YouTube Studio, explains exactly how a slip like that happens and why this one doesn't look like an accident. Is that LeBron's date? Tim reads the tea leaves the only way that's ever made sense: through the family — Zhuri's volleyball life in LA, Savannah's history with Miami, and why Golden State is a 45-minute flight that keeps everyone happy. Plus the Markieff Morris "sources" tweet that had the panel asking: per WHO? Before all that, Tim files a report from Philly: Schwarber one homer short at the Derby, the All-Star Game leading the local news, and a Phillies team that fell apart on the little things against a Dodgers club that never misses them — including the JT Realmuto baserunning decision nobody can explain. The guys make the case for Max Muncy's No. 13 in the rafters, debate Kyle Tucker as a $60M "add-on," and Tim shares a story from Dodger Stadium that confirms the worst-kept secret in baseball: the Phantom IL is real. The post-show goes NFL: Tim (a lifelong Eagles fan) says his own team isn't built to hang with the Rams, declares this the Year of Jalen Hurts, and drops a hot take — the defending-champion Seahawks miss the playoffs entirely.

Jeff, Clint, and Kevin recap game two of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 3 game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. All-Star Justin Wrobleski vs not-All-Star Zach Wheeler... what a matchup it was! Wrobo was electric once again, pitching into the 7th and going toe to toe with Wheeler. Max Muncy, as he's done twice now in the second half, got to a team's ace with a 2 run homer to give the Dodgers the lead. That set the stage in for the bottom of the 9th inning where the Phillies and veteran JT Realmuto forgot how baseball works and ran into a game ending double play on the basepaths.

Gio calls Tom Brady's recent antics awkward and forced now that the quarterback has officially reached "cornball status." Next, Boomer questions Cam Skattebo's weekend backflip injury and future NFL longevity, leading into a chat about aging singers and the forgotten date of Boomer's upcoming Radio Hall of Fame induction. Jerry's update delivers the international call of the lone World Cup Final goal—amidst analyst complaints about the match and Gio's disappointment that the Muppets performed instead of Dua Lipa—before breaking down Max Muncy's home run off Gerrit Cole. Finally, a caller brings up a hothead golfer who was once fined for farting, prompting Gio to claim that Boomer doesn't always own his own.
Roki Sasaki had never had an MLB start against a non-Angels team in which he didn't allow any earned runs. He has now, after 5.2 strong innings to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to victory in their series opener at Yankee Stadium. Max Muncy hit a huge two-run homer in the 7th inning to account for all of LA's runs, and Andy Pages teamed up with Mookie Betts and Dalton Rushing to cut down the potential tying run at the plate in the 8th, making up for earlier in the game when a Pages error and a Rushing passed ball led to New York's only run of the game. Also, does Will Smith's uncertain status mean the Dodgers need a catcher at the trade deadline? If so, who? Jeff Snider and Clint Pasillas are here to discuss it all, along with updates on Kiké Hernandez, Edwin Diaz, and Blake Snell.

Eric Lauer posted another quality start. Is he building more trade value or is he someone who could start a postseason game in a pinch? We discuss.
