Description

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with MLB's announcement that is going to a challenge system on balls and strikes in 2026. While that might help alleviate critical errors from umpires, it's a half-measure that could prove to be the worst of both worlds. Plus the Lynx had a Game 2 meltdown Tuesday. How will they respond?


10:00 : Longtime baseball writer Phil Miller is retiring soon. Rand and Miller chat about his career as well as hot present day topics with the Twins. Among them: Rocco Baldelli's future.


35:00 : Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson joins to set up the Big Ten opener Saturday vs. Rutgers. Plus St. Thomas also has a big conference opener this weekend.
