Episode 263 - The Pine Tar Game Before The Pine Tar Game

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, hosts Jeff and Mark recount yet another new & unique way the Mariners can lose a game, discover some baseball players with famous relatives and revisit initial thoughts about some newer rules of the game. The main segment this week tells the story of the Yankees game derailed because of the use of a bat with illegal amounts of pine tar, and it had nothing to do with George Brett! Wax Pack Heroes involves some themed baseball cards sent in by a listener. 00:25 Mariners' Unbelievable Loss 05:21 Will Ferrell's Baseball Adventures 07:14 Rob Manfred's Rule Changes 12:59 Famous Baseball Relatives 25:01 The Pine Tar Game Before The Pine Tar Game 37:34 Wax Packs Heroes 1:09:22 Wrapping Up and Final Thoughts Great article about the Pine Tar Games referenced in the show - https://tht.fangraphs.com/the-pine-tar-games/ Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Threads - @twostrikenoise Twitter - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - [email protected] We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
