Download attachment: hangoutspic3.jpg Join Seth and me tonight for a special Wednesday edition of Twins Hangouts. We shifted away from our typical Tuesday slot because of the All-Star Game, but return at 9pm.

 

Expect there to be plenty of Futures Game (and nachos) talk, as well as other highlights from the weekend.

 

We'll preview the "second half" of the Twins season.

[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]If you didn't happen to join us live on a special Wednesday episode of Twins Hangouts, we have it all for you here.

We kicked off and gave our All-Star Weekend update. Seth's "Nacho Adventure" (:04) may have been a highlight or a low-point depending on your point of view. We were especially surprised by Celebrity Sunday (:08). We talked about Jeremy's All-Star Game (:13) before remembering that Jennie Finch needed to be discussed (:20).

We had our usual "Pleiss Distraction", this time courtesy of ERolf (:23).

We had more discussion about the All-Star weekend, including the game (:27) and derby (:34) before switching gears to Twins talk.

We made arguments for our Twins first-half MVP (:38), top pitcher (:43), disappointing hitter (:52) and disappointing pitcher (:58). We moved to the minor leagues where we pegged similar awards: hitter (1:00), starting pitcher (1:03) and relief pitcher (1:06).

We gave a 12-minute Trade Deadline primer (1:07) before Seth gave a MiLB report (1:19) with scouting reports on some E-town pitchers (1:24).

We took questions at 1:27 and had our "closing thoughts" at 1:32. Twelve minutes later, it was all over.
