I miss Marnie. Hope she is doing well. As bad as Gladden is on the radio, I think Laudner is worse on TV. He says basically nothing but uses plenty of chiches doing it.

At least Tim doesn't say Liriano is to the Twins what Pujols is to the Angels. When Smalley said that years ago with a straight face that ended any like for anything out of his mouth.

Marney was back on the radio yesterday and was in good spirits. I’ve got to imagine she’ll be back on TV sooner rather than later!

Laudner is terrible. I could never understand how he got that job. WAY worse than Dazzle. He needs to stick with the Jeff Belzer commercials.

The other night I was watching the post-game ... I think it was after the 2nd win against NY ... and Laudner starts saying how Correa was his pick to click, and Audra laughs and says, 'No it wasn't! You said Taylor or [can't remember name here]!' It was pretty funny.

Laudner reminds me of Ken Harrelson. A loudmouth blowhard who acts he was a hall of famer as a player.

Laudner  --- has to be Paying to be on.  Worst Pre- Post in the Majors   

[RickOShea]

Worst guy on TV?  How?  Terrible voice, misinformation, unpleasant to look at, has opinions that some don't agree with?  If you want to make a blanket statement, please be honest enough to let us know how you come to these conclusions.  Are they factual, personal, or just avenue for trolling?

Twins just saw their TV rights cut in half by the judge

Let me say this about Dick Bremer.  He’s a nice guy - and I’m getting older too BUT - his visual perception ain’t what it used to be.   The ball “hit hard” the the outfield ends out being a soft pop fly.   The ball “hit to the gap” ends out being hit directly at the  CD enter fielder.  
Don’t fire him over this  - but Dick can make some adjustments.

It has been like this for many years. Similarly, if a Twins player hits a routine fly ball it's "deep". If an opposing player does the same thing it's a pop-up.

And I was cutting Duck done slack - attributing it to age.  But apparently it’s intentional.

That’s not what the judge ordered.  The judge stated 50% of the original fee needed to be paid up front paying for the near term rights.  Then they need to negotiate the other 50% and whether any reductions are warranted,  now the judge did state he thought 50% reduction could be warranted so based on the article I don’t think mlb or the twins have a ton of leverage. I would guess is the end mark is 75%.
