Late night episode here at Resting Pitchface! This ep we’ve got the Women’s Baseball World Cup, more baseball pet calendars, Cat Latos’s Dad, obligatory cephalopods, and not very much serious thought about Tim Tebow’s bid for baseball immortality. What can we say, we like to keep it eclectic. Episode 7 - I Don’t Think About Tim Tebow

Trea Turner is faster than a black mamba snake but slower than a cheetah.

One thing we’re all sure of: The Leaping Cephalopods is a great team name. Episode 6 - Feelings Are Logistical
