Another Monday night came and went, which means that another Talking Chop Twitter Q&A session came and went as well. Our 3rd official session dealt with mostly minor league issues (as usual for Monday nights), but with all of the consternation concerning Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy, Dan also took a few questions on the big league pitching staff. So without further ado, here are some highlights from the session:
