This week, we're playing General Manager.
With the trade deadline approaching, we take control of our favorite teams and make the moves we think could change the season, for better or worse.
Who should buy? Who should sell? Which stars should be moved? And what would you do if you were running your team's front office?
Send us your deadline deals, wild trade ideas, and GM masterplans. We may feature some of our favorites on a future episode.
Play GM with us on Episode 34 of Swing and a Miss.

We were fortunate enough to get time with Twins Broadcaster Cory Provus!
We go beyond the booth to talk about the preparation fans never see, the relationships that make baseball special, and the moments that have stuck with him throughout his career.
Along the way, we mix in plenty of laughs, a few stories you won't hear during a broadcast, and an honest look at what it's like to call 162 games a year while staying connected to the players, coaches, and fans.
Whether you're a die-hard Twins fan, a baseball junkie, or just curious about what goes on behind the microphone, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
Enjoy!

We took the show on the road and brought Swing and a Miss to Bent Paddle Brewing Co. in Duluth for a live recording. Boy, did it deliver!
From beers in hand to a room of baseball fans to a baseball team owner, this one had everything. The kind of chaos that only happens when you put us in front of an audience. We talk ball, take some unexpected turns, and feed off a Duluth crowd that showed up ready to go.
Enjoy and we hope to see you at the next one!

We sit down with Bob DiBiasio of the Cleveland Guardians for a conversation that goes well beyond the surface of the game.
From the inner workings of a Major League organization to the moments fans never see, Bob shares stories, perspective, and insight from inside the front office. We get into how the game has evolved, what it takes to connect with a fanbase, and the realities of baseball behind the scenes.
It’s thoughtful, honest, and full of the kind of context that may change how you watch the game.

A great conversation with Minnesota Twins meteorologist Mace Michaels, as we go beyond the forecast and into the role weather plays in baseball at the highest level. Mace breaks down what it’s like working behind the scenes with the Twins, how game-day conditions actually impact decisions, and some of the wildest weather scenarios he’s had to track. We also get into his journey into sports meteorology, what fans don’t realize about his role, and a few great stories from the ballpark. A fun, insightful interview that gives you a whole new appreciation for the forecast on game day.
