This week we're talking about Rays' outfielder and defensive savant Manuel Margot . Margot is Exhibit A for how the shortened season really screwed up our concept since his tater tot comes at the toll of 75% of his average plate appearances.

This week the topic for discussion on TTBC is the first three chapters of The Cactus League by Emily Nemens . We talk about Joe DiMaggio, the realities of aging within baseball and without it, the natural order of things, what it means to be a cliché, how to be a good judge of character, and rattlesnakes.

Tater Tots
On this traditional, normal, and regularly scheduled episode of Tater Tots, we consider the Tater Tot™: the deep fried, shredded potato product that took Ore-Ida from a rinky dink frozen corn joint to a series of letters on vaunted to New York Stock Exchange. We also take the time to appreciate the fine work of the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen , and the strange tradition of the tater tot casserole .

I finally figured out why my sound has been so weird the past few weeks! Please tune in next week to hear my sound go back to normal. I’m excited. This weeks, Tim regales us with Stories From The Gym® and we discuss what exactly makes a baseball player interesting to us. Obviously this week’s episode was recorded before baseball was cancelled. We’ll have our takes on that next week, but spoilers: we are sad. Today’s Tater Tot: Steven Brault.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedAre you you? Are you us? Are you Rajai Davis? Are you Aaron Altherr? These are the questions we can afford to ponder now that spring training is in full effect, and most of our tater babies have found jobs. This week the format is wide open and we take full advantage to talk about big apples, pumpkins, the very nature of identity, and about Tim's jumping progress. Please send encouragement in the form of weightlifting tips - he could use all the help he could get. We break down Rajai Davis' odd travel habits and try in vain to find a historical record of Aaron Altherr's dad's soccer career.
