I reached peak McKenna in May

There's too much talent in the farm system to justify keeping McKenna on the 26 man roster.

We want Cowser!

Norby bomb, McKenna K.

Norby is probably going to be a trade piece. I just have a feeling

It's never been a popular opinion, but I've said since I saw him in Aberdeen all the way up that I've never seen him make a good throw and that was one of his glaring weaknesses.  Still haven't seen him do anything to dissuade me. 

Wow, that's quite a statement, but based on actual observation and so stick to it!

He has accuracy issues for sure. Plenty quick enough, plenty or arm, just can't throw accurately often. Team's know this now. It's out and unless he improves he's going to be liability back there.

1000% this. Regardless how much he's a Hyde darling.

Don't know her name, but she also did a good job with the quick chat w Hyde between innings. Hyde looked at ease with her. She has a good sense of pacing and doesn't force or over-hype things unlike all the MASN hysterics.

I know I could've looked it up but they just flashed it - Tricia Whitaker. 

And the PBP is Alex Faust, color Ryan Spillborghs.  fwiw 

[Roy Firestone]

Gotta feel excited for Gunnar...hes feeling it now...

Or Westburg or Kjerstad or Norby...

McKenna can sure hit lefties.

I'd rather McKenna be left out.

[Hank Scorpio]

Oh dude you're interviewing some dude who has no idea WTF he's talking about.

Desperate dive in RF on the triple, swinging K on a fastball above the strike zone hoping he cd knock in Gunnar--possibly a result of feeling exactly that pressure. It's already there in the person of Hicks without even talking about the OFers down on the farm.
