Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 64 ratings
  • Souhan

    Why does Souhan inject his politics into a show about the Twins? Other than that the insights are good. Especially Roy and Lavelle.

  • As Mid As It Gets

    Roy Smalley actually watches the team and has insight; I enjoy when he breaks down players. Jim Souhan and LaVelle Neal III seem like fine gentlemen who used to pay attention but now just check in and as a result are not informed or perceptive about modern baseball. For being former beat writers they bring very little information to the table compared to other Twins podcasts.

  • Should’ve waited to do this weeks episode!

    It appears that you recorded the episode before the news that the franchise is up for sale. Second episode discussing that possible?

  • Par for the course

    How can you not have an episode on the night the Twins break their epic playoff losing streak? Solid analysts but beholden to the almighty dollar. Guess you couldn’t get enough sponsors in

    time. Less ads and more content!
