Yeah they weren’t good. I generally dislike the guest commentators. They rarely really know the teams they’re coving. That crew had the feeling of a Saturday afternoon college football game between Illinois and rutgers

As I said earlier … I think it’s what it would sound like if they gave all of us mics and the game thread was the pbp

You need to hang out on Twitter

No one needs to do that Squirrel.

Lol, my mom removed her hearing aids for the last two innings so she didn’t have to listen to the pbp announcers

That's what she told you, but it was really so she didn't have to listen to you!

I’m actually usually pretty quiet during games

I was watching on Apple TV+. Not sure if that was a different b’cast team, but they ised some wrong terms and had a really awkward moment where they were attempting to interview Buxton when he had to bat. They were silent for awhile and then said something like, I guess we’ll stop asking him questions so he can focus on his at-bat.

 

Yup. Prolly a good idea.

I think we were all watching it on AppleTV … that was the only place to watch

Aha. I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but trying to interview a player while they’re up to bat is maybe not the best approach.

Yeah, and he whiffed on that AB.

I'm 4-1 on the season.  I guess that I'll just have to keep going to games.  Shucks.

In fact, most people would probably benefit if they weren't!

The Twins two best position players are both hitting a lot of balls hard.

What if they are just hitting the same ball hard?

A "hold" goes to a pitcher who comes in with a save situation in place and leaves with the save situation still in place.

So if your team scores runs during your appearance, you can lose your hold?

Jake Cave ... running very slowly

Is this possible?

My impression was he was full tilt, all the time, especially when he had no chance to get it?
