  Speaker 1: The Twins lose a series in Detroit Byron Buxton talks

  Speaker 1: about his recent struggles with runners in scoring position some
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: offensive success for Royce, Lewis and Moore today on the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: latest edition of Twins Cities Territory or Minnesota Twins podcast
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: here on the Foul Territory Network. I'm not going to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: play the sound bite. I'm not going to do it.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We're past that now. We're putting the radio fight to bed.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We're moving on with our lives. Since we were here
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: with you last guys, a couple of games in Detroit,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we talked after the opening loss. The Twins bounced back
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night with a win and as if on c
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: after us talking about buxton struggles with runners on base,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: he hits a three run homer to help key that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: six to four victory, and then an absolute meltdown on
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Thursday and eleven nothing drubbing to end the series. They
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: are now thirty one and thirty nine and coming home
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: again for a quick series against the Cardinals. But Dan,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you were in Detroit. A solid win Wednesday followed up
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I want to forget about real quick on Thursday. What
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: were your thoughts on the games?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: First, let's let's focus on the positives here, guys. You guys,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we went through that radio war and you guys are alive.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Nothing happened, We didn't get taken out. We're still breathing
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: or walking around. You know. This is probably when they
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: get us, by the way, that's right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: This is the false sense of security.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Let our guards when yeah, well we let your guards do.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: We've got a hold strong into the deadline because yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: stranger things have happened.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: They have, they have. We can't bring back that meter either.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it's going to come back. If if
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Dan turns out to be uh incorrect and Byron Buxton
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: is traded, we are going to hear about that. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: would expect Dan's only.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: One who even spoke about it. I don't know what
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you're talking about.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Anyways. Anyways, so we get the positives out of the way.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: The rest of it was pretty bad. I mean, like,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: look there there were little glimmers of hope and stuff.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And the Wednesday victory was a good one, a bullpen
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: day that went well, like you saw good performances across
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the board, like Mike Paradis. That was such a weird game.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: They started the game the managers both signed off on
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: starting the game, and thirteen minutes in the rink. By
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the way, we waited till six forty seven to start game.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It was a six forty start time. They had a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: meeting right up until the start. They decided, let's do
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: this from ber Valdez takes the mound, gets the one, two,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: three pitches for six minutes, and then they put the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: tarpa on as Mike Paradis is starting to warm up,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and it was like this, the storm popped up out
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of nowhere, apparently on the radar, but they still were
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: talking about they knew it was possible, and we had
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: an hour and seven minute rain delay. In the series,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we had two hours and fifty eight minutes. The one
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the part that sucks about that not being three hours
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: is everybody that attended would have got a set of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: steak knives if we had three hours of rain delays
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for the series. They you know, we came up too
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: much short. So another negative. That's why I.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Can't be true.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: That can't be true in my world, Yes it is.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I would have found somebody anyways, So like that was
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a random uh, It's like it was a good bounce back.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: From the Twins Paradis because he's a reliever. They were like, hey,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: look there's times where you get hot and then you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: sit down for a while, and like that's how they
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: treated it. Was that Mike Paradis got ready for the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: start and then he came back after the hour and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: seven minutes. Shockingly, Fromber came back and pitched, and Fromber
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: by the time he took them on was like seventy
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: five minutes in, which is just to me, totally wild.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But Derek Shelton said he was not at all surprised
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that happened. And they got Frombert the Twins Royce Lewis
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: homer in that game. Byron Buckston hit the three run
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: homer with you know, provided a hit with runners in
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: scoring position. We'll talk about that in a second. Anthony
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Bonda had some amazing like he got some big out
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: that night. Jo Ander Scom has survived as scare so
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: there were good signs everywhere he looked in that game
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and then all of it went away Thursday. I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Alex Jackson was pitching. He's you know, he's their catcher,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and he gave up two home runs in the eighth inning.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The taking over in an eight nothing game and win Seal.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Perez is a switch hitter and he opted to hit
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: right handed against Alex Jackson, who throws right handed, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he hit a two run homer. That's just kind of
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: how it went. And so it was. It was just
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: an ugly series. The Tigers are not who we kind
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of thought they were. The Tigers they got in the
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: last like eight or nine days back. They got Glabor
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Torres and Kerry Carpenter and that offense is mashing right
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: now and scoobas yeah, and Schooble's coming. So the Tigers
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: are getting hot at the right time. The weather was
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: miserable all three days, Like it was ninety three degrees
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: when I was driving to the report in Detroit on
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Thursday and I landed and it was sixty two degrees
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. That was wonderful to feel fresh air again.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just stifling hot and not good baseball.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It was a pretty ugly three days, even though they
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: got the win in the middle.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Ugly indeed, And I'm sorry for your personal struggles, Dan,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with the weather. That sounds horrible. Glad you made it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: through the twins.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I was really struggling to type it was very difficult.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I bet the Twins are down on a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: six and a half out in the central of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: new first place team in the central. By the way,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Chicago White Sox passed be struggling Cleveland Guardians for first,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but just a game and a half clear the Tigers
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and fourth and two and a half clear of the Royals. Tyler,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the only thing I had to say about Thursday's game,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and I forgot to introduce ourselves at the top of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the show. Zach Pierce of The Athletic, Dan Hayes, also
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: The Athletic, the Twins beat writer for the Athletic, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Tyler Duffy, a long time major leage. You're I. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I always feel like, if you're gonna if you're gonna
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: have a game where you give up eleven runs and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: have to have position players pitch, that is the game
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to get shut out and just like get both of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the word.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Ye just lose, just just absolute bottom of the barrel.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: It's like the game starts, you know, and you're behind
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and you're kind of not getting in gear as a staff,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and then it's just like Homer's because that's the crazy
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: part It wasn't like, oh, we're getting single to death,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: like I remember Randy Dobnach had a game in Detroit.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He gave up like fifteen singles or some absurd amount,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you know. But when the ball is just leaving the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: yard like that, it's like, all right, so what are
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: we doing for dinner later? Kind of thing, Like it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: just the game's over and you could just feel it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: The energy shifts and it is what it is, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: you know, but yeah, that's when you get done. One
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: superstition player goes in as a staff. I think I
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: said this the other day. We were talking about something.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: But you kind of in the bullpen like look over
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: your shoulder at each other, like, hey, at least it
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: wasn't us today. You know, kids, it's one to stay
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: out of. And you know, as a position player, even
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: it's like you go up there, you're never you're going
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to get out. It's just one of those energy shifting games.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: And the momentum has just gone. And like Dan said,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: they're probably happy to get back to nice crisp Minnesota weather.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: When they got off that plane yesterday.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I had a question, Duff, real quick, did you like
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the advent of stat cast as far as telling you
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: when a home run might be legit or you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: not a legitimate home run, because I imagine these ones were sent. Yeah,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: whats like, because yesterday there were a couple of there
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: were a couple of ballpark specials that got out that
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the weather was weather was warm, and I'm wondering, like
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: how you would have the Riley Green one was a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: homer in fifteen or thirty parks off Debbie Matthews, up
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and away and he took it to left field and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: left field. There's a nice little short fortune in the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: corner and left field and Riley Green is excelling there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, what do you think about those those stats?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And like are those good for a picture? Psyche?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is great to know a little bit of
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: the stat cast info. And I know it's changed, like
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I know Minnesota has it on the banner, like you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I think guys will even quick look. I remember there's
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a hitter that would it was a Rooker maybe, like
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: he would really swing the bat and immediately look and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you just know whether to home or.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Not, which is good. You know, it's it's one it's refreshing. Sometimes.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I also know, like hey, that ball wasn't hit that well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: like it just got out today because of X situation.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it's hot, you know, like target field. Depending
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: on the wind, like sometimes it goes one direction and
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: kind of circles around. It gets weird in there, like
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: you know, you're playing at Wrigley and it alls eight
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: hundred feet with a twenty.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Five min hour tailwind.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: So it's like, you know, it is at least you
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: can have some solace in like, Okay, I didn't give
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: up an absolute nuke, but you know, as a pitcher,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: you give up enough homers as I have. You know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: you can see it off the bat pretty much, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: like yikes, like that one's going to be close, And
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I did love I played with Byron long enough, which
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: was really cool. You know, it's like no one else
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: could see it, but like I could tell by the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: way he was running after balls whether the ball's going
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: out of the stadium or not, Like he has a
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: different stride at times when he's like all right, he's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: about to lay out and dive or this is like
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: an easy basket catch like just on the run, or
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: he has zero chance, and you know, like I said,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: it's it was fun to know that, but it's also
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a bad feeling when nobody's moving and they just kind
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of put you know, Eddie Rizzari used to just drop
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: his head down, and the ones that go in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: third day sometimes, you know. But yes, statcast is great
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: for some things and not so for the others.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that's all right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's bring it up because Zbbe Matthews gave up
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: four and Riley Greens would Riley Greens actually wasn't off
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Zebby and Zebby didn't give up four Paulos Zebbi, Zebbe
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: gave up free but one of them, one of them
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: was a twenty out of thirty parks as the Glaber
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Torres three to zero fastball that Glaber hits.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was well struck.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know there there was a little bit
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like you could tell Zebby was afterwards. He gave up
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: seven runs and he was not pleased, But also he
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't This wasn't a total defeated day for him. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: think the Pittsburgh won a couple of starts Ago was
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: much harder to take. He just he wasn't he wasn't
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: on I don't think, I don't know those conditions is
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: ninety three and humid, so the ball was traveling. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: think they they weren't as beating beating themselves up as
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: much as they like as you would think. But it
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: was a tough, tough scene no matter what. It was
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a six home runs from the Tigers yesterday, and.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a big number anybody any game.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Like Tyler said at that point, just lose. Let's get
• 11:17

• 12:46
  Speaker 1: All right, guys. Byron Buxton. We talked about a little
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: bit at the top of the show, but on on
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Wednesday show we found something to criticize him for with
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: his poor average with runners on base, and then he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: promptly went out and shoved it in our face with
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the three run home run. But he also talked about
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: it a bit after Wednesday's game, and Dan Hayes wrote
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: about it on The Athletic. You can read that right
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: now at the Athletic dot com on Byron Buxton and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: his struggles in his comments. But Dan, for those who
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: prefer to listen to it, what did he have to say?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah? It was. It was kind of revealing because I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I was the only one there and I
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: had the camera with me because MLB TV doesn't have
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the reporter in there after the game, Audre's doing the sidelines.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Audre Martin is doing the sideline show, and so it's
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: me walking around with the camera guy. And usually I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: limited to like one player, like the pitcher. And in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this case, they were asking if Byron. I was like, sure,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: why not? I mean it was a home run. So
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I walked up and asked him. And before the game,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Shelton had mentioned that he put Byron in a two
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: spot to shake things up a little bit. Byron has
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a ton of solo home runs and they were looking
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to maybe get him in a spot where he could
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: change that. And you know, we've talked about those runners
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: in scoring positions, struggles and so I asked him. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, Shelty said, you guys are trying to
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: shake it up and get you some situations runners on
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: base and he's like, I don't care. He's like, I
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: got the hit with runners in scoring position, simple as that.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And it was like so I was like, wait, so
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: is this you know, is this something you're thinking about?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And he said all the time. And it just struck
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: me as like, wait a minute. You're having a monster season,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you're having this all Star season, and this is what
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you're thinking about. And the quotes were great. He said,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: it's somewhere I'm struggling. I'm working really hard at that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I'm probably just putting in a little bit too much
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: pressure on myself in those situations because I want to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: get the job done. But it felt good to come through.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And then he said that I said, like I was
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: letting him off the hook a little bit. And I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: was like, you know, look, you had a nine eighty
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: six LPs with runs in scoring position last year. You
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: you have a career seven thirty four ops, which we
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: said there day is it's okay, it's not amazing, but
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: still solid. And I was like, isn't it possible. This
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: is just a bad batch of forty eight fifty played appearances.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And he said, okay, good point. He's like, but I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: not looking at it like that. And he said, some
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: of those you missed your pitch. You did this, They
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: made a good pitch. It's more me bearing down in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: those situations and trying to get my job done. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: you know, it was a brief interview, but it was
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: illuminating because Byron has been fantastic in so many areas
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: this year. But you know, he came up in that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: game early on with runners on second and third, Detroit
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was playing the infield in and Kevin McGonagall. Byron hit
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a chopper to third and McGonagall fielded it and through
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: home and easily got I think it was Josh Bell.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And the next halfening, Mike Bretis gives up a hit
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Byron Bucks and made a diving attempt. I think it
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: was Glab Torris hit a double to right and and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you could see it slammed down his glove after his
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: miss dive, and he never really you know, I know
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: it was frustration they didn't make the catch, but also
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I think there's some frustration that he put the ball
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: in play just halfening before and what you know, great
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: defensive play made it. You know, in a situation where
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: they were like, if he hits it hard, they're scoring,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: and he was. He was frustrated again, like you could
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: just tell that he is frustrated by this, and so
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the home run was was good for them, good for him.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: He actually came up and missed out on another opportunity late,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: so he went one for three in that game with
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: runners in scoring position. But it's funny because overall he
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: walked and he got a single, so he get this
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is a game that he went three for five or
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: got on base three out of five times. And I'm
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: going to guarantee all he's thinking about are those two misses.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So relieving the pressure is good. Anything that can get
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: him going in that direction. He's the number is updated
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: now or he's batting one forty. His on basis two
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: fifty five. His slug is three h two and fifty
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: one played appearances with runners in scoring position, he's got
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: two homers and nine RBIs. But again, really illuminating, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I was fascinated just to be there and hear him
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: talk about it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Tyler, how much do players hate it when they're having
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: an all star worthy season and then beat writers like
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Dan come in and only focus on the negative.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: It's the best, we love it, it's the best thing ever. No,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: it is like it's something obviously.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: You think about, like if you're aware at all, you
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: kind of have an idea, Like, you know, I don't
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: know how big. A lot of guys aren't on social media,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: so like they won't run into a random tweet about them,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: you know, things like that, and it's it makes sense
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: why you would avoid it. But at the same time,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: like Byron's he's aware of how good he is. You know,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: he would never say that, he would never even think
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: those thoughts.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: But in the in those moments, he.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Is confident and to dance point to that, like when
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: he wanted to catch that ball, Like, yes, he was
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: frustrated maybe with other things, but like he fully expects
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: to catch anything that goes in the air and that
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: is the best part. Like he could be having the
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: greatest year of his life, but like he misses one
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: ball for you as a pitcher, and he's gonna come
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: literally apologize at times, and it's like, dude, I know
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: you think you need to catch everything, but like I
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: would just rather you keep trying the way that you are.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: That is perfect because he is like he gets actually
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: angry and it's like pissed off about it. And that's
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: why he's so great, you know, that's why everybody loves him,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: you know, and he's he's gets so fired up. You know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: we talked about this earlier in the year, like when
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: he's having fun and excited, like it's exciting because he's
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: a quiet guy, Like he gets a little riled up
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: here and there, you know, has a good time, but
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: he's going to keep to himself.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: He's going to do his work. He's gonna go hit
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: in the cage.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Get ready for a ball game, and then he's gonna
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: go be ready for the first pitch and hit it
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: four fifty.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: You know, it's been him since he's been a twin.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: You know, sorry for the rhyme there, but it's just
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: like what he does, it's just like, you know, he's
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: an incredible player, and you know, the greats never stopped
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: trying to get better and keep developing, and he's obviously
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: aware of it. And that's, like Dan said, that's a
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: huge weight lifted for him and probably for the Twins.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: You know, Chelsea mixed it up and it worked. You know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: that's all you can ask for, and you know that
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: builds confidence going going back home, and you know, hopefully
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: get a few more opportunities here.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you will tonight.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Twenty homers is tied for third in Major League Baseball
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: for Byron Buxton, and he added one more with runners
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: on base this week against Detroit. The other hitter that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we wanted to talk about today was Royce Lewis, who
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: was the top performer. Oh gosh, the shadows again. What's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: going on? I a preview that thing, and you guys
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: saw there was no shadow on there, all right?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: You know what? This is what happens to it. This
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is what happens during a rough stretch podcast.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Just a bunch of angers up here for sure. Anyway,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: somehow it just magically went away. So I'll take it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Royce Lewis five for twelve on the week, really the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: top offensive performer by a lot of measures for the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Twins in this series against Detroit, which Dan has to
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: feel good for a guy who obviously just came off
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a triple A stint trying to fix his swing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about the swing in just a second,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: because I like, I saw like what Tyler has said,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and I've seen it online everywhere. He is doing this thing,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: this thing with his back foot where he is getting
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: setting it down.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Before he gets like Aaronato's.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it's And so I asked him about it
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and he says, drill work that he's brought into the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: game and it feels comfortable right now. Who knows how
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: long that sticks. I think right now he's just looking
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to get comfortable and find it. But he had two
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: sharp singles again on h had the home run on Wednesday, Yeah,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Wednesday night, and he had two sharp singles yesterday. It's
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: starting to come around for him because he started the
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: series with a bluep double that fell in. It was
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: just a ball to center fielder absolutely should have caught
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: and didn't get a glove on. So he got a
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: single out of that or a double out of that,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and then he got a broken bat single on the infield,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: and so you could tell, like, all right, cool, he
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: got two hits that he needed essentially in the ledger form.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: But then he followed it up with the second longest
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: home run of his career Wednesday, and the really two
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: sharp singles on Thursday and they were like classic pullball
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: through the whole good looking wings that resulted in hit
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: so five for twelve in the series, walked once, got
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: on base six out of thirteen times. Asked Byron about
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: the home run that Royce hit, because you know, Byron
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: is Royce's biggest fan, and he said, the dugout was
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: that was a really big celebration. We have a partied
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: like that in the dugout in a long time. Like
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: these guys want him to do well and for him
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: to get the results is really encouraging, especially because it's
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: coming with some really hard work at first base and
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: second base. And I wrote about that this morning that
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Royce Lewis did his second meeting with Justin Mooren and
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Moreno got out there in ninety something degree weather on
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Friday and then went to the booth. But he spent
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a half hour with Royce Lewis and Luke Kishaw going
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: over the final points of first base and with Royce
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: it had been more the week before was when they
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: did their own crash course. That's how Justin described it
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: at Saint Paul. Before Royce got called up, they spent
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: an hour we're out there that day and he went
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: over everything with him, like foot placement on the bag, positioning,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: where to be on cuts, like everything. They just went
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: over everything. Asking Royce about that, he said that, what, like,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: he's doing all he can because wherever the team needs
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: him right now, he's he's willing to plug in. And
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we saw him get, you know, two starts at first
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: base at Triple A. He got three starts and an
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: appearance at first base over the last four games, and
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: then yesterday they played him at second and you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: we finally saw some chances at first base. The Wednesday night.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: He had really only had two balls at him, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: one of them he didn't get the ball hard shot
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to the right. More No said, it's one of the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: harder plays you'll you'll get where it's a diving stab
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: at a ninety six mile hour ball. But like, nothing
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: he's done is impacted the game so far, defensively, nothing
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: there was a took a bad hop on him yesterday,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: So he's getting he's logging these experiences and coming away like, oh,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't screw this up. And that's good too, just
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: because he's basically a fish out of water. But he's
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: not discouraged. He's actually encouraged and you can tell he
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: wants to do whatever you can to help them out.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: So that's a good attitude about the situation, I think too.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Take quick break, come back with a little bit more
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: on Royce Lewis and a look ahead to the Cardinals
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: series coming up this weekend at target Field.

• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I think another notable stat from Royce Lewis's series in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Detroit just two strikeouts in the twelve at bats. He
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: was striking out about once every three at bats roughly
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: prior to that small sample size, of course, But Tyler,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: what have you noticed in his return at the plate
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and how he's looking.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's still a lot going on in the box.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I feel like like, you know, you watch a game
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: and like swings generally look similar, like there's a consistency
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: to most of them, and like Dan hit on, like
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: he's bringing some of his drill work into games, which
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: is great as long as it goes well. It's you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: but he's squaring the ball up, which is what you want.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: You want to be on time, which seems to be coming.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: You know, hit the homers like left center, I think
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: over the bullpen right, so like that's typically a good sign.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Like you know, when you're hitting balls to the pole,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: you know you're either out in front you're really early
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: or late, you know kind of thing. You know, the
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: time is good, you know, the whatever the reset was,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: which you know, I probably could do some reading and
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: figure out what he you know, if he spoke on it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: But you know, there's a lot going on.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: And at the same time, him moving positions might be
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: helping a little bit, as weird as that sounds, because
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: he's having to worry about more than just hitting. You know,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: it's it's not all right, what am I going to
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: do with the bat today? It's like I got to
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: go play first, you know, and he's doing the crash
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: course with morning. You know, the sneakiest thing at first base,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: like people don't think about and you know, the or
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: the casual fan I should say, doesn't the footwork over
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: there is not a walk in the park, Like there's
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of making sure you know exactly where you
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: are so when you step you're on the base because
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: as simple as catching the ball from the shortstop and
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: you're not on the bag, well he's safe now because
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: your feet weren't right. So that point, like I think
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: him worried about all that, you know, having some confidence
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: from Saint Paul, you know, he tore the cover off
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: the baseball for two weeks and came back and he's
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: getting to show it. He you know, the momentums building.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: You know, he had a great series, like Zach said,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: he struck out twice. You know, he's putting the ball
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in play, he's hitting the ball hard. That those are
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: all the good things you want from that option period.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: You know, he got sent down, came right back and
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: he's he's hit the ground running, and you know it's
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: it's he's becoming the threat piece that we need to
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: plug in.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: You know, it's you know.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Clemens has had good stretches, Bells had great stretches. You know,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Austin Martin had, who's on a tear for a while there.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: It's just like there's someone has to help Byron be
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Byron at times, and you know, whether it's getting on
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: base in front of him, or protecting behind him, or
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: even driving him in after he.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Hits a double, you know, here and there.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Like it's a little stuff like that that will accumulate
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: into wins. You know, it's it's more run scored, it's
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: more support for the pitching staff. They can breathe easier.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: It's just it all starts that up quickly. But you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: he's he looks great. You know, he's hitting the ball hard.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: That's all you can ask for, you know, with a
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: guy like him, it's there's a lot going on and
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: it's just just barrel it up and go.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: The Twins come home for just three games against the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Cardinals this weekend Friday to Sunday, and then they're back
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: on the road to Texas and Arizona. It's about as
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: good of a pitching lineup as this battered starting rotation
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: could hope for right now. Joe Ryan and Connor pre
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Liptaje Bradley set up for the weekend against Kyle Lahey,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Matthew Liberator and Michael McGreevy on the weekend Dan The
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Cardinals one of the better teams record wise, at least
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that has been on the Twins schedule in a while, though,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: so it should be as they all are at this
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: point for this team. Another challenging one.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: It is, and you know, it's a really weird part
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: of the schedule. Three game road trip, three game homestand
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: back on the road for seven. But they you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: it's a chance for them to figure it out in
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: front of a crowd that you know is excited to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: see them, and I don't know, just looking for game.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: The sparks started at this point because they need something
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: where the seventy game mark. They're thirty one and thirty nine.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: One good note. Mick Abel did show up. He had
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: pitched in Toledo on Wednesday, so he was in the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: clubhouse on Thursday and Detroit. He had a bad uber
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: ride on the way back. The guy circled Comerica Park
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: four times, not knowing where to drop him off because
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: they close off all this like they absolutely close shut
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: it down and make it very pedestrian friendly right before
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: a game. So Mick had trouble getting into the park,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: but he felt good after his three innings five strikeouts.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: The night before, outdueled Justin Verlander, hit ninety eight on
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the gun. His slider was ninety one, which was four
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: miles up from earlier in the year. Talked to him
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: about that. He said he's trying to throw a harder
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: slider and it's the product of good health. And so
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: like he like, I don't know what we'll hear more
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: this weekend. I think about what the plan is with
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: him next. Because he went three and forty seven, and
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they'll insert him in the rotation
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and take a build up game where he throws sixty
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: pitches and then gets pulled because they're working with nine.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: It is. It is, so it wouldn't shock me if
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: he got one more at Triple A. But I think
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: he's very close to getting back to the rotation, which
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: is a good sign. They need anything they can get
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: right now. Really it is. It is scrap mode. So
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: you know, get royceless, go and get Firon bucks from
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: going again, and find some pitching because the pitching has
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: a over seventeen games a six six six era, they're
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: giving up six point eight runs a game over these.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Last seven sign five.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah they're five and twelve. Yeah, sign of the devil.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: You know that's not a good thing. Uh. The offense
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: isn't even performing poorly in this they're scoring about four
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: runs a game. That could be better, but it's not
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: like we're seeing the Twins be a team that's losing
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: four to two, you know, throughout the stretch. So they
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: need makeable, they need some good signs. And you know
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: who knows how that goes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Well, It'll be Joe Ryan Friday night to hopefully get
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the series started up on the right foot for them.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: That's about that's the man for the job. I would say,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens Saturday and Sunday, both afternoon games
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: one ten pm starts. Dan, you mentioned the weird part
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: of the schedule, also noticing that they have the rare
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: mid series off day in Texas next week, playing Monday
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Tuesday Thursday. Oh okay, that makes it.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I think I think England plays next door at Jerry World,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: got it? And so they want the parking lots for that. Yeah,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be one hundred thousand people. Probably don't fight that,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: that'll be cool. Tickets are nine hundred dollars, Franny interested parties.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I will not be going to the World Cup game.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I'll watch it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: We got Dan, who's who's your pick to win the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: World Cup.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Soccer? That's it? That's my pick.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I think you'll be right on that one.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, who's yours? Well?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I have to root for Morocco because I got assigned
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to Team Morocco in the company little random pool thing.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Who did you get, Dan? I didn't get one, Yes
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: you did, you just didn't pay it. You don't pay
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: attention to slack. That's all.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: And Drew like Ireland or something.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should edit this out before I out you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: is not paying attention to.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm I'm a guy.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Got a known powerhouse. Yeah, known powerhouse or I.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Think they won either one or hosted the inaugural or both.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, steeped in history.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Over paying a big amount of attention to it. It's
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: a big poster.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Now, Tyler, you have a team, uh, I mean, since
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: we're here, I mean I might as well say, go Mexico.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, got off to a good start yesterday, that's
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all. It was weird.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I like didn't know what time it was, and this
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: it was like weirdly quiet, like there's kind of always
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: a buzz around and and then I turned on the
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: TV and I was like, Oh, it is every single
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: channel's World Cup.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: And I was like, ah, got it, everyone's watching this.

• 34:12
  Speaker 3: whenever the next round. I don't they like take long breaks,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I guess it's bouncing around down here from
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: city to city where they're playing.
• 34:20
