• 0:01
  Speaker 1: A Yankees curse, forget about it. The Twins take two
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: out of three in New York and keep their good
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: vibes rolling. Not all good news is Byron Buxton reaggravated
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a hip injury, Joe Ryan was brilliant, and Sunday's series clincher.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more on the latest
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: episode of Twins Cities Territory or Minnesota Twins podcast here
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: on the Foul Territory Network. G I'm Zach Pearce of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Athletic, joined as always by Dan Hayes, the Athletics,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins beat writer and Tyler Duffy, longtime Major leaguer
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and former Minnesota Twin guys. Friday Night, thought maybe it
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: was gonna go the wrong sort away for the Twins
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: this weekend. They lost the opener of the three game
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: set to New York, a place where they have had
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a horrible time in recent years. As of everybody watching
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this probably knows. At this point, the Twins entered the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: series having lost one hundred and twenty seven out of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred and Oh, Matt, my math is failing me.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty eight games against the since two
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: thousand and two, their first series win in New York
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen. Then, and that's now six series of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: victories in the last seven. The Dodgers sweep the only
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: series they've lost in the last seven. They're forty four
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and forty seven and still hang around in this thing
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: after all this time.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Even though Friday didn't go well. The harbinger are good
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: things to come? Was that Cody Clemens first inning home run.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Is like, hey, the Twins take a lead right away
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and gave it back in the bottom of the first,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But I mean, like, you know, they didn't. They showed
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: right away they weren't going to be part of this.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And the only game that they lost was predictably their rookie,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you know, Mike Pratis.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Who still pitched well enough to keep them in the ballgame.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: But like that was the only game they lost. They
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: really stood up.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The offense just was outstanding on Saturday again, Zebi Matthews,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: until he got the last ration on his foot, was
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: pitching great. You know that first three innings he went
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: through no runs and I wish I was there to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: get a explanation on the lasceration on the foot, but
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: obviously was working with it and it reopened and he
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: got you know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Quickly started to get tattooed a little bit.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: They got him out of there, but the offense really
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: came through and scored an eleven run spot. And then
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Joe Ryan on Sunday was just Joe Ryan has been
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: an all star in every sense of the word all
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: year on and.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Off the field.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit about that in a minute,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but I mean, like Joe Ryan just wasn't going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: let them not win that game. And then the offense
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: really came through again. The two out hits have been
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: so clutch all year. They were really clutch again on Sunday.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Sank a Yankee team that is struggling and is beat
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: up and is without some of their really big guns.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: But so what the Yankees in their weakest have done
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: this twenty fourteen, Duff was in the minors, Zach, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: don't know where you and I were. I was in Chicago.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Were you in La at Fox? Yeah?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Sure, yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's wild to think twelve years have
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: gone since. And it's funny because two years or three
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: years ago they got that split at Yankee Stadum of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the four game series and someone messaged me and said,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: didn't they win the series three years ago?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And I was like, well, they split a four game series,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: which feels like a victory if you're the Pins.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: This is a real one. This one matters. It just
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: keeps the good vibes going. They needed this, Dan, you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: mentioned obviously the Yankees were beat up. It wasn't the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: full version of the team they've been struggling to. They
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: lost seven straight going into the game. You could I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: think you could feel that over the weekend. Just I
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: mean even through the TV with the crowd. It was
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: thim crowds and they got booed quite a bit. From
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: what it's like.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But Tyler, you kind of you spoke a little bit
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in your cameo video that you provided for us on
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Friday after technical issues about what it's like playing there.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But I just I guess I'm not obviously Yeah you were, you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Out of there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you can be the hero or the goat
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: very quickly, and not in the good way. The goat,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: you know it's you heard him turning on their own guys.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: You know they've turned on gen Carlos Stanton.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: The guys put up MVP numbers for his whole career,
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: and you know they don't care who you are.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: You know, as quickly as it can be against you,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they can also turn on their own. And when you're
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: getting them to do that in that stadium, that means
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you're doing something right, you know. And and the bats,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I mean it was pretty incredible, you know, picked up
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: and then rewatch and it's just like home or home
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: or Homer. I'm like, that's literally you can't defend that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: So you know, the bats, the bats are hot. Man,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: it's one you whatever these guys are doing, like, just
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: keep them in the same room, don't change anything. You know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: as one of my coaches, Do clib And used to say,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: whatever you did last night, do it again, because you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Know something's working right now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: You know, unfortunately some big pieces are missing, but you
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: know it's it's firing on all cylinders. And you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Joe yesterday was that was just dominant. You could all
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: those guys were looking for the fastball and still couldn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: get to it, and it was just here it comes,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: and you're out and onto the next one, and you
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: know that's that's a big momentum builder.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Come back home for sure.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That ballpark if you just just hit a ball in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the air in the direction of right field, it's like
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: probably home run. Josh Bell had one where he had
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: this really awkward looking swing home run treumvor Laurna kitt
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: what I thought was a single to right field, laser
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: beam home run. Just incredible. But the Twins took advantage.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: To their credit, they scored a first inning run in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: every game Dan, which back when they were playing so
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: well earlier in the season, it felt like they were
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: piling on a lot of runs early to help out
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that pitching stuff.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first, real quick on the right field home runs.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Luke Keishaw last year when we were there, was practicing
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that swing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I watched him. I thought it was to last year.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he got on this trip and that was huge,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Like that was great for him. But no, the first
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: thing runs are huge, and especially on Sunday when you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: have Joe Ryan going and it was another two out
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Josh Bell knock. That's the thing I think is the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: most particularly, the most impressive part of the offense is that,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you know, Derek Shelton always talks about the twenty we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: go twenty seven ounce, we don't give it, but it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: more of the two out hits that really are deflating
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: for an opposing pitcher. The guy thinks he's gonna get
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: out of it. You know, you're in a jam, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: here you are. You gonna get your team back in
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the dug out unscathed. And oh, by the way, here
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: comes Josh Bell and he hit a rocket to right
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and their right fielder Schuerman kind of got the glove
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to it, but went a long way.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I mean went a long way to get that ball
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to and anything off Josh Bell's bat is usually heat
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: seeking missile, but it gets down. They take the one
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: nothing lead, and they build and they just slowly built,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and then Roy Slewis had a two out, two run
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: single leader in the fourth or fifth inning to make
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it a four to nothing game. But I know, Zach,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: that like this has been something that they've been really
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: good at. They are fifth in the American or they're
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: fifth in baseball with two out runners in scoring position.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And that's not just average, that's OPS is sixth, but
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the league OPS the averages seven to nine, So they're
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: fifty two points ahead. They're within about fifty or sixty
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: points of Philadelphia, who's the top team. But here's The
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: part that I love is I'm just looking at the numbers.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Josh Bell hitting with two outs and runners in scoring
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: position this year three sixty six, eleven thirty ops, twenty
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: one RBIs, brooks Lee eighteen RBIs. He's hitting threeho eight.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Trevor Larnick has a twelve to fifty five OPS in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: those situations. Cody Clemens is nine to sixteen. Ryan Jeffers,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: who they may get back pretty soon, has a nineteen
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: hundred OPS. Ryan Kreidler thirteen forty six ops. Interestingly enough,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Byron Buckston has not been very good in that he's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: two for twenty eight this season baton seventy one, which
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: is just the one area where he's not hitting. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it just it's so deflating for the other team, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the Twins have been really good good at it, especially
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: when it's you know, I'm imagining that Royce Lewis one
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: was just a killer, because it's if you get back
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in the dugout and you're down to nothing, even with
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Joe Ryan on the mountain, you still probably think you're
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you have a fighting shot.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And it was one of the differences in Friday Night's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: loss to the Twins. Didn't get very many of those opportunities.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: The one they did Royce Lewis and the eighth inning
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: grounded into a fielder's choice to end it with the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: bases loaded down down three. Uh, they're not going to help.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: That's why you get a hit every time, of course,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but correct.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: No, but yesterday was huge for him.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That was only his third and fourth RBIs with two
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: outs all season as he continues to get healthy. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: like you're right, those are those moments can change the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: game either.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Way, Tyler, since it hasn't happened since twenty fourteen, I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: guess the Twins never won a series at Yankee Stadium
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: while you were there. But did you did you win
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: games at Yankee Stadium?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Do you think?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have sprinkled a couple in there, but you
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: know we had It was some good games, you know.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Granted my memories are the the.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Playoffs, But actually I had a start there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I went, I think it went seven perfect and then
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: give up a double to Aaron Hicks seven and then
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure it was and then it was Mark
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: to Shires.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't be shocked if it was the last homer
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: of his career.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I gave up a solo shot, I think, but we
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: want It was a day game, and it was actually
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: it was hilarious. It was one of those like I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: don't know how well Dan knew Terry Ryan or if
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: you've been around in that much, but it was one
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: He came up to me like literally gave me a
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: hug because we had been going through it like we
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: were just.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Grinding a little bit, and he gave me a hug.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know what to do right now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: but I know I did a good job today anyway,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: so I know we've sprinkled a couple in, but yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: that place is It's just it happened so fast. You know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: a mishit to right field is a homer, and then
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: you give up the three run shot that quick and
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: you're just like what you know, you blinking it happens,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: and then you know the game's over.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: You know they're bringing in the.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: The At the time, it was Chapman and the boys
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: out there in the bullpen, and it was just like,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: what are we supposed to do against these guys.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: June twenty sixth, twenty sixteen, Tyler Duffy went eight innings
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. That would have still been old Yankee
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Stadium too, right, Oh yeah, it's that old guy.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never played in the old guy.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Two one run, two hits, one run, and you said,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, Mark to share, give me the right center.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It was his thirteenth homer of the twenty sixteen season.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: He hit two more after that, so almost all right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Would you have taken some pride in being the last
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: time run to share every hit?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: It would have been something cool just to like have it,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: you know, like who uh who Jeter got David Price
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: right for his three thousandth or something or some slickers.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Or three hundred homer or whatever it was.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: You know, if you're gonna get got, you might as
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: well have it be historic, you know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't give up.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Give up the five hundred foot homer, not the one
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: that barely it goes.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Over the threshow, not the Trevor lar lime drive. We'll
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: say quick break, we'll be right back. We'll talk about
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Ryan Byron Buxton and more. Right after this book.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: In summertime, it's cool in the morning, hot during the day,
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: cool again at night. Rarely am I sitting there going, oh,
• 11:18

  Speaker 1: Obviously doesn't really mean anything to win a regular season
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: series the way it does at least in the playoffs,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: but certainly for vibes it helps, I would say, And
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the Twins cannot have had a better guy on the mound.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: On Sunday, Dan Newly minted All Star Joe Ryan seven innings, pitched,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: three hit. There it is on the screen if you're
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: watching on YouTube three it's nine k's no runs. Just
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: exactly what the Twins needed in a game where, yeah,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: if you'll lose it, it's not the end of the world,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but especially there in that place to like finish that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: series off with the victory, how to feel especially good.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: He's been an All Star in every sense of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: word on off the field. You know, he early in
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the week he was asking me and Matthew Leech Warren
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and if we knew anything about the All Star how
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it went, you could tell he wanted to be an
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: All Star.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: He got it last year, but it was because of
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Rocco did some politicking for him.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Rocco reached out to Aaron Boone and said, hey, look,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Joe Ryan will be available on Tuesday. We are moving
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: him to Friday so that he can pitch in the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: All Star Game. If you guys need an injury replacement,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: he's good to go. And he got to make it
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: like he Hunter Brown went on the il or Hunter
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Brown just was an injury replacement.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Joe Ryan made it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: You know, he wanted to back it up and get
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: in again, and he got in on the original team
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: this time there was no politicking needed. But the thing
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: is is, like I will say, Joe Ryan not only
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: has been an all star in the mound, I think
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: what has been the really very impressive part is he's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: been doing all this where everybody's thought that he has
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: been one foot out the door since August last year
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: because that tweet that went out there was you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: there were talks between the Twins and the Red Sox,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: but nothing was close. They were not even close to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the final because the Red Sox tried to come in
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: at the last minute with a week offer, like a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: top heavy offer that didn't get the whole package for
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a guy that had two and a half years left.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: But basically has to put Joe Ryan on every trade
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: list since Opening Days since spring training, players who could
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: be traded Joe Ryan at the top along with Derek Scoble.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: What I love about the way Joe Ryan has handled
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: this is he basically said.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: If I'm back there, I'm back there and I'm in
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Like it's okay, I've had success there. This organization. Let
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: me grow and I'm going to give it everything. But
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you know that's easy words to say. You know, backing
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: it up isn't other thing. And I've seen in just
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: private conversations with Joe Ryan in the clubhouse over this
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: since dating back to spring training, the buy in is real.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: He wants ownership to have to add, he wants the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: front office to have to add the trade deadline.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Loves this group. He's having just as much fun as
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: all of them.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: And I think when you think about the fact that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: nobody would blame him if he was pissed off about
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: last year watching all those guys get traded and he
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: was stuck on the Twins, nobody would blame him for
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: thinking having survivors like just being pissed at true there
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and having one foot out the door. And instead he's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: gone the opposite way and has just embraced it being present.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I love what I've heard from him, Like I.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Loved his response to you know, it was important to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: him that he made this All Star team, and instead
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: when he got asked about it on Saturday, he talked
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: about the offense and how the offense has been so
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: good and has allowed him to be a little bit
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: freer when he takes the mount and he talked about
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the games ahead said I know where I'll be in
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: two weeks.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. But he said, there's a
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: big important stretch coming up for this team. Let's keep pushing.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Let's make them, let's force their hands and make them
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: add to this team. I mean, the messaging has been great,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: like there's just a lot of maturity there. It's a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: guy you wish he could keep him for a long term,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: but you know, he is thirty and he's gonna want a.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Six year deal, maybe a seven year deal. And I
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: don't know that the.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Twins are the kind of team that can absorb a
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: bad contract at the end. I do think Joe Ryan
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: is the kind of dude who can physically with stand up.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, this guy's a specimen. And if there's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: somebody I would be willing to bet on being healthy
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: in six or seven years, I think Joe Ryan is
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: as strong candidate as any. But I just don't think
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the Twins are the type of team with the current
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: arrangement for the CBA where it makes you know, I
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: just I think it's not in there.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know calculus to sign him long term.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So realistically, unless the CBA changes, maybe maybe they could
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: keep him then, but it's the trade talk is all understandable.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It's reasonable to mention Joe Ryan and he has just
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: thrown it all to the side and pitch and focus
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and it's been awesome to see.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: My favorite moment was from Sunday was in the seventh inning.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: He got the first two batters out and then I
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: think it was an infield single for Cody Bellinger and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: then he walked yeah and looked to the dugout. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: don't I didn't see what may have come out of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the dugout, but he just like went like thumbs up,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: like don't don't, don't think. Obviously, a six to nothing
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: lead at the time helps Derek Shelton go ahead and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: make that decision, but it was the right decision. He
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: struck out Rosario to end the inning, and just Tyler
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and like in every way the ways Dan mentioned off
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the field and on the field, he's just been exactly
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: what you want out there.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Well and you could see like in the moment he
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's such a cool, calm guy, and you
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: know he has his little antics in the game, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: he's like.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I've seen before we were talking earlier.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: It's just like at times you can tell he the
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: hitters know what's coming and he's just gonna will it
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: on you and it's gonna you're just out. You know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: his stuff is is unique to him. You know that
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: there's a reason he is so dominant, and he is.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: He keeps getting better, Like that's what the best part is,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Like he's developing further and like learning how to use
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: the locations and like, you know, watching him his outings,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: you know, popping the guys with the fastball down because
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: he's living up at the top all day and his
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: location is what's when he's on, you can see it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: I mean he splits the corners. It's at the top
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: edge and the hitters are just they're helpless. And it's
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: such a huge thing to have a guy like that
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: in any part of your rotation. But like he's a
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: guy you you know, we're talking about trading, but like
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: you keep him, it's it solidifies something that you can't
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: It's it's so hard to find, you know, the Terrek scoobles.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: His name's coming up in trades things like that. Teams
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: won him. But the same time, man, you you get
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: rid of a guy like him. It just changes your franchise. Honestly,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: it's you know, you don't want to sign him long term.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe you know because if he's older, but it is
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: what it is, and you know, I have for me,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I would love and I know the Twins fans would
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: love to keep him around of another year. But you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: it's just I want the guys to win so they
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: can't get rid of him.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I think that's the best case scenario. Yeah, people winning games.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: So this conversation is mood because otherwise it's gonna be
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be a tough month of August.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: It's be sad.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: It would just be just it would just be not
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: We already went through this last year.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I mean like like it was just going through it
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: last year was you know, you you develop relationships with
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: players over the years, and like ten just walked out
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: the door last year. It's like what like you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: like five or six of them we knew were free
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: agents and gonna be gone, Like we knew that was
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: gonna happen.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But then you like see the.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Jacks Duran Duran, like Duran grew up so much in
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years, and man, he gets it
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: like he had the best one liners as a quote,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: he is funny as hell, man, and like like he's
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: just a nice dude. And then Jack's like to see
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Jacks go from a six point two era starting pitcher
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: into a kick ass setup guy, like you saw like
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: all these yeah, you saw the evolution all those guys.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's not anything. I'll say this.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: It makes for great headlines and people read that stuff.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: But my favorite last year, I had one of my
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: favorite articles I've ever written, had just all the details
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: of the deadline and broke it down. And one of
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: my followers she tweeted back, She's like, amazing article. I
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: hated every minute of it. And I'm like, yeah, pretty much,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Oh well, hopefully at least beyond this month, Twins will
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: still be able to enjoy Joe Ryan's service on the team.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But now it's time for everyone's favorite segment, Daily Dingers.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That's right, MLB season is in full swing and fan
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Duel is giving you a chance to call your shot
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: with Daily Dingers Joining the Action. Joining Joining the action
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: is easy. Just make your free pick on who's hitting
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: a home run in their game, and if you're right,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you'll get a profit boost to use on your next
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: bet for a chance that extra winnings. It's just another
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: reason why fan Duel is the home of home runs.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The Twins are off today, Monday the sixth. They start
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a big series at home against Cleveland on Tuesday night,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: so we'll look ahead to that game for this segment.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: We'll also talk more about Cleveland later on. But Joey Cantillo,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Hawaii's finest, is the starting pitcher. It's had a solid
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: year for the Guardians. I always stuff to think twice
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: before I say the Cleveland team's name, But uh yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: what do we think? We gotta? We gotta. Twins are
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: obviously hot runs. He's a lefty.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: He's a lefty now, but then anything is that his
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I'm looking right now. He struggled a little bit more
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: this year. Early on, he was his splits against lefties
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: were different.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: But he we'll go right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Handed guys are gonna be the guys. I'm gonna cheat
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and go with I'm going Josh Bell. Josh Bell is
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: having so much fun. Yeah, Josh Bell homeward from both
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: sides of play the other day. I believe he's the
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: seventh Twin to ever do that. I think maybe Eddie
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: was the last one. Eddie Rosario in that three homer
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: game against Cleveland at home.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I know, Duff, you remember that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: It was in June of twenty eighteen when Eddie was
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the hottest player in the planet and then got snubbed
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: on the All Star Game.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Absolutely snubbed on the All Star Game.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Lads should be voted throwing it out there.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Eddie was so damn good man. Eddie was so good
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: that year. But yeah, Josh Bell.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: For me, I like Royce, Royce hes he needs to
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: get in on the party and get one in the air.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Uh well those are my two first drafts.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Just for anybody who is not familiar, I think I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: don't even know. We're at eleven of twelve times we've
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: done this segment. One of we've only missed once. We've
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: missed once because the only two of us were picking
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: because Tyler wasn't here and Dan picked an injured player.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: That's right, someone.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm gonna go Ryan Kridler got to step up,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: but Buxton presumably not playing, so hyeah, we should see
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of him in that game. I always forget
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: who we picked, so I'm gonna try to commit it
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to memory. Josh Bell, Royce Lewis, Ryan Kreidler. Those are
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the picks. That's for Tuesday night's game against Cleveland, the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: next Twins game. If you would like to play a

• 24:34
  Speaker 1: We've once again made it to the third section of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the show without talking about Byron Buxton. Well, we might
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: have mentioned his name a couple of times, but that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: was that was certainly the bad news of the weekend
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: in Byron Buxton actually was thrown out stealing second base
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and appeared to injure himself or reaggravate the hip injury.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I should say on the slide, what do we know
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: about him?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know that much. I'm sure we won't know.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be probably the same kind of quiet and
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: they'll get him healthy and go. And you know, next Saturday,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: after four days off, played center field right away.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I think he doubled in.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: His first at bat Saturday. You know, had a big
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: night that day or part. It didn't Homer, but you know,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: had two hits in the game, had an impact. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: then singles in the first inning, like you said, gets
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: thrown out stealing bases. I think that was his first
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: time in like thirty seven attempts he got caught stealing.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: But we'll we'll see. So here's where I am. And
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna ask you what you would how important
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: this is. So I'm of the mind that Byron maybe
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: should think about IL right here, just because it's six
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: games to go. If you take the six games right now,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you backdate it to today Monday, that's a twelve day
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: break before the second half starts in Chicago.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Now it's a big deal.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Because a it means he can't play in the All
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Star Game, but even more, he doesn't to play outst.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Cleveland and Anaheim to finish the first half.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Now, this is the guy that did say last week
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: when we're in Houston that he doesn't feel like he
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: needs to be Superman and can.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Trust his teammates.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: But there is one component to this that I will
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: acknowledge is I think is big and you can maybe
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: expand on it. Byron hasn't gone on the AL yet
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: this year. I know that's a huge deal for him
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: from a standpoint of I'd like to go through a
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: year without going on the IL. He's managed it. Early
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: in May he got hurt, like it was mid May.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: He missed five games.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: He DHD a ton.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: When he came back, didn't play center field, but played
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: himself back into centerfield shape, and until.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: This last week really was going fine.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Or last ten days whatever is had it pop up
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: again four days out, came back, played center. So he's
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: been able to manage. And I mean, look, he's been incredible.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: He's an All All Star starter. Awesome for him, congrats
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: on that finally getting his flowers.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: But does.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Know how much does like staying off the I l
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you know that it's tough, I imagine trying to figure
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: that out.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's probably a point that he would like
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: to have, you know, a notch under his belt to
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: not have to do that. But at the same time,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: like the team and the long term needs him, you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: it's just frankly, they need him in that lineup, you know. Now,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: like with the kind of built in runway here, it's
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: almost the perfect amount of days to where, hey, man
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: go on, you know, because at this point, if he's
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: dinged up a little bit, I can't imagine he's going
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: to go play in the All Star Game, you know,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: as much as he probably wants to. It's on it
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: becomes one of those it's like, hey, you got a
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: little naggy something like, we're not even going to mess
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: with it, and he may want to play really badly,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Like who knows what he's thinking, you know, conversations he's had.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: But it is definitely a point of pride for a
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: lot of guys. You know, it used to be so common,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: you know, felt like every team had a guy that
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: would just go once sick, and it's just hard to
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: do now. Between matchups and everything, and you know he's
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: not even trying to do that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: He's just trying to be able to play regularly.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think whatever they did that little
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: reset before that took the five days, they probably have
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: that etched in stone. They're going to go right back
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: to it, and so it may be something they may
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: give it a couple of days. You know, they can
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: retro it if they need to put him on, but maybe.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Give him a couple of days at home.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: You know, in the home training room, it's always a
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: little bit better. There's just like he could wake up
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: the day and feel a little bit better, you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: and he but he you know, I know Bucks so
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: well and you do too. It's just he wants to
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: be out there and he's into everything possible. Yes, you know,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: he felt he was right and he you know, it
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: just it didn't agree with him. So you know, it's
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: definitely one you look in the mirror for a minute
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: and figure out, you know, hey, like is it worth
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: missing months to take off ten days?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: You know you have the All Star break coming up,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: so there's a window where you basically would miss two
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: series and that's it, you know, So I don't it's
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a tough decision for everybody, but you know,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I think he'll the calmer heads will, we'll have some
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: conversations and you know, they'll get the right decision made.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Also of no this weekend are coming off this series
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Dan The Twins added some help to their bullpen and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: an interesting transaction with the Tigers. They brought on wusuk Go,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: who is, uh, believe in a minor league system for
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Detroit right now.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, tearing it so as like fourth, Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: But has a clause in his contract that he has
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to go to the major league team. Is that correct
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: because of this moment?
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So all these exactly everybody has. They're they're called
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: either upward mobility or assignment clauses, And basically you get
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: this like opt out date essentially where you get to
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: activate it in your your contract and you say like
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and and they're pretty much I think universal dates for
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys, so that like you'll see it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: And the Twins lost. The Twins lost John Breba and
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: somebody else, oh, Matt Bowman about six weeks ago at
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a for the same reason, because they were somebody else
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: was wanting to take a chance on them.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: And bring them to the majors.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So basically, wusuk Go had this upward Mobility assignment clause
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: that said on July third, I will activate this and
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: it allows everybody in the majors a chance to pick
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: me up. And at that point, say a team like
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the Twins decides to pick me up, the Tigers then
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: have the chance to say, no, we'll keep him. It's
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: almost like a restricted free agent in the NBA where
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: you can just pay, like take the deal and give
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the guy the money and bring him. You're forced into
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the action basically, and so they said that the Tigers.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Tigers said no, we're not going to put him in
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the majors. Twins get him. Essentially throws out a fastball, curveball,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: and a cutter. He's had a lot of walk issues.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: One hundred and thirty six innings sixty walks, and the
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: miners pitched for the.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: LG Twins in Korea.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Want a championship to be I think it was the closer. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: so fourth org though in three years. So, I mean,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: the walk issues are real, but look, you take these
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: lottery tickets and you hope they pan out, just like
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: justin Lawrence didn't and Luis Garcia didn't, but jo Andros
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Gomez did you know, when you're in this spot where
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: your bullpen is as shoddy as theirs has been, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: take these chances with guys who have stuff.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Well, perhaps we'll see him this week. The Twins welcome
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Cleveland for three games starting Tuesday, and then it's the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Angels behind that, and then it's the All Star break.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: So getting getting to that unofficial halfway spot here, but
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: obviously a big one with Cleveland. Guys. We'll be back
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: with you on Wednesday after just one game in the series,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: so we'll have more time to talk about about all that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: But the Twins will enter the series three games behind
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Cleveland in the division. Cleveland's second behind the White Socks
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: by the game, so you sweep them and you know, there,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: there you go. You can make a move. But definitely,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of all the recent success the Twins have had in
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: this stretch, Tyler with with six to the last seven
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: series victories, that this is one they really could use.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a big one, you know, Cleveland's I've talked
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: about it a few times before. It's just always a
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: series where everybody kind of shows up. You know there
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: there's always a little more electricity in the air or
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it. You know, Fortunately they'll
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: be missing mister Ramirez, so that's a big piece out
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: of that lineup that you know you don't have to circle.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: But they're still they're scrappy, man. They know how to pitch.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: They put the ball in play like they're just they're
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: just a good baseball team. So that, you know, Twins
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: better lock up the defense this week and you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: just keep hitting.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Like there's not a really whole lot to change offensively.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: It's now it's just you know, clean up the little
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: mistakes because a team like this will take full advantage.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: And they're fast and you know, they always seem to
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: have a bullpen that just slams the door, you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: and they and they've got some good starting too.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: It's it'll be a good series.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: It will probably be a hard fought one, probably some
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: low scoring games, I would I would imagine.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're kind of an opposite team with the Twins.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: They don't score a lot, they don't give up a lot.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Something something's got to give.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Dan.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: It's Taj Bradley and Joey Cantillo on Tuesday. The scheduled
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: starters Wednesday Connor Prelip against Slade Secone Love that Name,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and then Mike Parade's and Gavin Williams scheduled for Wednesday.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Danie'll be there.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I will be out there, and then we got wrestling Friday,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: and we have a Hall of Fame weekend on Saturday.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: I think plus to get the draft on Saturday.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Just for my readers. Athletic should have a really cool
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: feature on Sean Johnson, the Twins draft guru on Thursday.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Lots of good content on We Take It, d Taken.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be one to three. It'll be Grady Emerson,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Rock Chilowski or Vaughn.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Can't Von Lackey from Georgia Tech, who is an awesome catcher.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: If they get Rock, they got a shortstop that could
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: be at the majors very soon. I don't know they're
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: getting a talented player either way they come out of this.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: All three are good picks.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: They're getting a top three pick no matter what they are.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: There you go, let's they trade it. We'll be back
• 34:25
