The original format was very labor intensive. 

Heh, I should know, I ran it for several years.

There's been a less formal format for a while now.

But I suspect that's gone too.

Aw c'mon Chief, how about one of those great Grandpa jokes? Or is it Great Grandpa jokes?

In the NFL, the QB usually takes the offensive line out to a nice fancy dinner at the end of the season. What should our starting lineup buy for the SP’s? Tesla’s? Gold bouillons?

Some CRSP stock.

I don’t know, we try to keep it light, but I mean…  even by 2023 Twins standards, this is an astonishing level of offensive ineptitude today.

Justin just said he could live with the strikeouts if we were hitting homers lol

I wish they would just make contact  and force something to happen  ..

it’s funny listening to Trevor clearly disagree with what the approach has been and Justin is disagreeing

Fine I suppose, but he just said he was hesitant to bring up a glitch he’s been seeing in Kepler’s swing. Why in the world would that be a problem to discuss on air?

ive said it for 2-3 years,   Hip -Dip, Glad Plouffe said it also

I'm wondering whether game threads are going to become a thing of the past. Rumor has it...

This implies some kind of future event.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Also, next time someone says not to worry because Correa started slowly last season too, remember that Correa actually started turning it around by the end of April last year. At this time last year I think he was even above .300 or close. 

[USAFChief]

I like Plouffe's take: "you need more than 1 club in your bag."

 

"From the heels" has its place as a swing thought. Just not the only thought.

[RickOShea]

Trevor and Justin starting a little back tracking from previous statements.  I think they're competitive juices are really being put to the test.  Must be terribly frustrating for them to be positive.  No water coolers to punch or bats to break.

Thanks again Varsho! Ole butter

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Long knock by Larnach. 

Just need 4 or 5 more of those!

Your wish has been granted. Congrats

Arraez is back to .402 and the Marlins just tied the game on a Tim Anderson error in the 9th 

So the reports of Arraez' demise were premature?

I'm more intrigued watching the White Sox melt down defensively again

[wabene]

Damn I thought Jeffers had that one

[USAFChief]

Wish this was still 2-1. Seems more doable.

He's going to spend the off-season trying to add three inches to his vertical leap.

Again? I think you mean "still."

I hope Arraez has a great season, but we're not even half through it, yet.   He may need to build a lead now, to be able to finish at the top.

[USAFChief]

I admit age might be a factor, but I don't understand how anyone can find Pete Davidson funny. 

Or tolerable. 

[RickOShea]

Varsho on homers:  Can't catch em, can't hit em.

Absolutely  premature  , but because he didn't hit alot of homers and wasn't fleet of foot on defense , there was alot of  people  that thought  his trade value would only diminish after last year  and he is only 26 just coming into his prime ...

Arraez is definitely a major leaguer ...

Age might be a factor, but who is Pete Davidson?

The crow hop should be before you catch the ball, not after. Strong throw, but took way too long to unleash it.

Not sure you heard about the large crow protest in Omaha, but we’re supposed to go with “avian hop” now.

Don’t kill the messenger.

[wabene]

Lopez off the couch (therapist's hopefully) and to the mound.

He does the breakfast commercials. I think he had a stint on SNL, sometime after it died.
