Twins swept away in San Diego in setback to playoff hopes · Twin Cities Territory

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I am completely miserable San Diego, completely miserable. A sweep
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: at the hands of the Padres, and the Twins are
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: right back where they were a week ago, coming off
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a rough series against the Phillies, all that sandwiched around
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a sweep of the Braves that had us back in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the positive direction. The Twins were in the Wildcard, in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the number three slot in the Wildcard. Now after three
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: straight losses in San Diego this weekend, they have fallen
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: back again to two games down in the Wildcard, five
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and a half out in the Central. Good weekend for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the Guardians, good weekend for Texas. They're both up there
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in the third slot now and the Twins once again.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: We said there'd be bumps in the road. We said
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't going to be all wins the rest
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the way after that Atlanta series, and boy did
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: they hit a roadblock this weekend.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And in San Diego.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I was thinking what way you were going to go
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: with your anchorman reference there? And I want to tell
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: you in this case, milk was a good choice.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you was.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Much better than yeah, because this was one of those
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: series where you want to have to say stay classy,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: San Diego. The rest of that sentence, It was a
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: tough weekend for the Twins. They were in all three
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: games at one point about midway, and then all three
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: blew up on them spectacularly. Obviously, the Saturday Night win
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: or Saturday Night lost was the toughest because you lead
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: five to one, Dean Kramer threw well again, and then
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a combination of everything that could go wrong did go wrong,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: whether it was catchers interferences, some some hits that were
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: OPO hits that you know fall inside the line. You
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: had the you had the play, the misplay between Caln
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Culpepper and Brooks Lee where Lee didn't catch the ball
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: got charged with an air like that spectacularly blew up.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: And then Sunday two may free passes from the bullpen,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: three five walks by five walks overall but three and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the key inning between Cody Funderberg and Jeff Hoffman. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: it's funny, I've had this thing where I think I've jinx.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Cody Vunderberg all season was gonna write a story about
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: him and his family situation. Right before Mother's Day he
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: got sent down. Said to him, Hey, don't worry, we'll
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: write it for Father's Day day before Father's Day, he
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: got sent down this week. I praised him a couple
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: of times on the podcast appearances, and he's had a
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: tough week. It's my fault, Cody Funderberg. I apologize, but yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: he came in and you know, Caln Culpepper made the
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: air behind him. They got out of it with the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: pickoff play. But then he walked next to Jeff Hoffman,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: walks next to Luis Frangifo is just a little bounder
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: down the line, gotta be one of those ones I
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: imagined for pictures, tirled that pisses you off, just to
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: under ninety miles an hour and then then to tease,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: had a knockout blow. Yeah, to tease. I think the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: twins have seen enough of Fernando Tatist Junior. He runs,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: he's really back. He he went four for five today
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and the only time he got out was one hundred
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and fifteen mile a liner that somehow hung up long
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: enough to be caught. So just I would say that
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: was a thorough ass kicking by the Padres. It just
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: it had a different feel too. If Padres are on
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: a roll, they're twenty three and twelve since the All
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Star breaking man. The Twins are struggling here in August,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: and we saw it today.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the bullpen was so good against Atlanta Tyler, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: really the reason they won all three of those games
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: did not happen that way this weekend, especially Saturday and Sunday.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Saturday obviously the game the Twins really did have a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: chance to win and blew it. And you know it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: going to happen, of course, but there's just a bigger
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: magnifying glass on it when the bulk of your trade
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: deadline moves were to beef up that exact part of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the roster, and of course what happened last year at
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline two doesn't help.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, you know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: And I've always said being a reliever in general is
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: tough because you can do everything right and still lose.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: And you know, you have a great game and you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the greatest guy in the world, and then you lose
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: one game and the whole world hates them.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You know. It's just like you're either in or out.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Like you're a kicker, you know, yeah, literally.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: You're and I hate to agree with you. Dougman Kavitch
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: used to call us kickers. All the time in the minors,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: and we used to get guys to get pissed, but
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: it's so true. It's like we have one job at
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, and it's to get three
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: outs as quick as possible.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And if it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Doesn't go wrong, I mean, if it doesn't go well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: it's it's your fault.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And you know it's tough. But that's a great lineup. Again.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: You know, we had a great series against Atlanta, but
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: this one they just you know, they key hold our guys.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: They weren't swinging at the stuff off the plate. You know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: they weren't chasing much. And you know guys like we
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: talked about Morris before, he's had a weird, you know
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: stretch of late Fundy's.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You know, when guys are out of the zone.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: These hitters are so good now and they're so well trained,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: they're just not going to give in. And you've got
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: guys like Tatisa, Machado and Merril and so on, they're
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: they are going to punish you when you miss, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: especially giving up free passes like that, Like that's the biggest,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: you know, worst enemy for a pitcher is a free pass.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: It's just you know, it clogs up the bases, it
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: puts you out of your comfort zone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And then all it takes is a single to drive
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: in two runs.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: And you know they like that big inning, you know
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: they it was three walks and then two singles and
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: then a double and it was just like, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: a six spot was up. And so it's a tough one,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you know, it's it's I don't think it's a sign
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: of what is you know, as far as the bullpen goes,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I think it was just a bad series against a
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: good team.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day. Uh, you know, luckily
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: we have a lesser opponent.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I hate to even say that out loud and Oakland
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: coming up, but you know there hopefully they can get right,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: you know, flush this one.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You know, they get the experience out.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You know, we knew what they were going into is
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: packed house, loud fans, you know, the all the things
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: in that stadium, and you know they got I wouldn't
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: say they got exposed. It's we had the blow up
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: innings and weren't able to recovery.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Well, and so many things besides the bullpen contributed to you, like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: like Saturday was the tough one for sure. I mean Sunday,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: they got smoked. Friday, they just they couldn't get enough,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get enough offense. But they had it on Saturday cruising along.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And then in that seventh inning, it started out with
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a ground out and then just an innocent looking pitch
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: inside to for Meen that for me was like the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: only one in the building who's like, hey, wait a minute,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: look at that. And on review they see that it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was Catcher's interference and the next thing you know, this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: inning is snowbolding out of no where. Croninworth hit a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: double the left. It looked like he didn't even I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: think it was fair off his bat. He just stood
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: there for a second watching it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Pitch the single that Tatise hit to write off Morris
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: like it was the top of the zone. It was
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: a very well executed pitch and Fernando CZ's just dumped
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: it in the right and did it like.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And then they're crowing and Worth double and then a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: play that everybody talked about came after that when Maddy
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Machado grounded a shortstop Dan and Caitlin Culpepper one out
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: runner at second only that it was cronin Worus after
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the double, and so if a routine grounder. If he
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: throws to first, probably two outs runnerund the third. He
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: instead tries to throw to third, brooks Lee can't catch it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Padres have tied the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: game and would then go on to take the lead,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: when maybe if he makes the throw to first, it
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Who knows, But anyway, some debate over what
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Culpeper should have done there, but brooks Lee after the game,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Dan said that Culpepper did what he asked him to do.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, brooks Lee said, I called three. And it's crazy
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: because brooks Lee kind of got caught flat footed on
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the throw. But brooks Lee was requesting the throw. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you know, Culpeper had pulled one off earlier on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: home stand, the last home stand. Great play there to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: cut down the lead runner. And this time he tried
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: it again. The throw was on the money, Lee did
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: not catch it. Ball gets to the ray lane. Corona
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Worth scores and even worse, Manny Machado went from first
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: to second the play and could easily score on the
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: base hit to go ahead, and you know that was
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: your ballgame. Padres have had. I think that was their
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: fourth four run or more comeback of the season. They
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: they got something special going right now. But definitely, look,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: even Derek Shelton said, as a fifty to fifty play,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: because you're right, go to first, get the easy out
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Manny Machado. You know you have two outs and a
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: runner on third there if you get Machado. Which it's
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: funny because the inning before, Colpeper made a great play
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: deep at the hole and shortstop showed off that strong
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: arm and we were praising him in our text thread
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and talking about, man, that's an incredible army as and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: then happening later or inning later, that play unfolded. Shelton
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: did say fifty to fifty play like, but I think
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you know, brooks Lee owned up to it, essentially, he
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: said he owned up to it in the when they
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: went to huddle in the mound and wanted to let
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Colepeper know, Hey, that was on me. I called for
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the play. That was on me. The throw was perfect,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: So you know, it's a debatable play. It's certainly a
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: higher risk play, no question.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But look, I think just happens, but right, especially.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Right because the perception out there without the Lee information
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: that we found out after the game, the perception is
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a rookie shortstop is trying to make too much happen. Yeah,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: when in fact rookie shortstop even though that was a
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: late play, I mean it was it was. I remember
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: watching it because I was not at the game on Saturday,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: and I remember watching it and going, man, that was
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a late throw. But then you look where the throw
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: was and it was so accurate, and that's I do
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: love that part about it. Culpepper is playing for playing
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: in front of forty thousand people in a high pressure spot.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: He executed his throw. The communication needs to be there.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I talked to Ramon Brego about that too, the Twins
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: third base slash infield coach. We talked about Friday and
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: he said, for one, things that he's working with Culpepper
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: right now is on being a leader and the awareness
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: part and like making sure he's the guy that everybody
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: looks to on place and knows it and this is
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: what we're doing thinking ahead on place. That's stuff that
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: comes over time. This is a guy that's still getting
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: used to shortstop, but it's something that's part of the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: development that they're trying to make happen. And so you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: gonna get moments where stuff happens. I mean, is he
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is not green, but he is definitely still getting his
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: feet way at shortstop, and he's their best option. You know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Kler is Kreidler is probably a better polished and has
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a really good ability to get balls on the ground.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Stuff doesn't eat him up. He's been making some great plays,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: but his bat isn't what Culpepers is. And we've seen
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Culpepper the upside of it. The offense. You know, he
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: hit that home run and it was his second home run,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: but Rush absolutely crushed and you see it, You're like, man,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: this guy's got it, like this is he's got this
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: in and had the single and the ninth INNY on Sunday.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Just he does not give away at bats, and I
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: like what I see the competitive spirit. So when you
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: see that that throw gets away, yes it's a disaster play,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: but his end of it was there, and like I
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: still think, you know, I mean, he made an error Sunday.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: He's had some moments. He looks like a rookie, there's
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: no question, but there's so much positive there that it's like, man,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I like the like the potential more than I'm worried
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: about the downside. It's just can they get the downside?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Can they get the like minor errors. Can they keep
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: them from turning into a blow up at a critical
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: time in the season, because there's thirty one left and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: it is a challenging time for development. This is not
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the stuff you want to be doing right now, but
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: it kind of speaks their situation that they felt like
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: they were forced to do it.

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Also, from that Saturday game, so the Twins had jumped
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: out to a five to one lead. That seventh inning
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that we just talked about, they led five to two
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: going into it, came out of a trailing six'. Five
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Had culpepper made the throat of first and gotten the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: out and everything else happened as it, did it would
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: have been five to five instead of six to. Five
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: twins still didn't do anything on offense in the late,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: innings so it may not have, mattered and The padres
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: did score another. Run but what was also a big
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: moment in that game came in this top of the sixth.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: INNING i, thought when The twins were still up five to,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: one loaded the bases with one, out had a chance
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: for the knockout Blow tyler and like they had done
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: so many times in the first, half getting those hits
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: with runners in scoring, Position Josh bell strikes, Out Ryan
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: jeffers grounds. Out two guys you want to have up
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in that situation and they can't get it, done and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: then the next, thing you, know here come To. Padres,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: yeah it's it's one we kind of then kind of,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: mentioned you, know the little, stuff and that's one of
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: those you, know those innings are so valuable when you've
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: got bases loaded and you, know nobody's trying to get
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: out or trying to strike, out whatever it. Is but
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it does seem like to my untrained, eye you, know
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: as far as watching hitting, goes but it just seems
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: like there's moments when the opposing staff kind of ramps
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: themselves up for moments and our, guys you, know don't
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: necessarily make the adjustment with them at. Times for lack
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of a better way to put, it it's, just you,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: know we've seen it many times this. Year you, know
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the bases, loaded you, know and it's the double play ball,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: er it's the punch, out it's the pop up, whatever
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and then it seems like the other guys just seem
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to somehow squeak one, through you, know the boutzer's down the,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: line things like, that and it's it's, Unfortunate but WHAT
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: i think it exposes at the end of the day
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is how valuable the little.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Mistakes you, know we talked about.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: This a lot earlier in the year when we were
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: kind of cycling through shortstops and things like, that where
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: they just don't have any room for air because of
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: who they are kind of as a, Team like they're
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: gonna be gritty and they're gonna fight back and chip,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: away but they don't have the, caliber you, know the
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: firepower in that lineup to, say all, right we're gonna
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: punch through eight a quick six run inning, here you,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: know to make this big. Comeback and so it's in those,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: moments whether it's you, know, hey like try a bunt you,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: know Obviously Josh bell is not gonna, bunt but like
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: in the, moments it's like anything's better than what's, happening
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and so it's like it makes you start to, wonder
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: like when do we start just playing you, know old,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: school you, know slap it and run baseball at. Times you,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: know it's but it's. Tough you, know these are big
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: league pitchers with electric. STUFF i mean not to mention
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: who they had thrown the ninth inning for any game
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: that they have that's, close like you, KNOW i, Mean.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus he comes. In it's like here's one hundred and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: three and then a slider at ninety.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Three so it's just, like you, know it's just, tough
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: and you when you get those, moments you have to
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: find a way to.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: CAPITALIZE i know that's so easy to, say but it's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: just one of those. Things it's been all.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Year you, know we had the big run early with
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: our runners and scorpsad they had the crazy numbers and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: we knew that wasn't going to.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Maintain so but it's always.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Tough you get basic, loaded like you'd want to see
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: something come, across but you, know it just wasn't our weekend.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, yeah quiet series for a lot of people at the.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Plate for The twins, notably, WELL i guess we'll start
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: With Byron buxton one for eleven on the, weekend and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: since his return in Mid august now he is four
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: for thirty. One it's it's been a rough. Go nice
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: diving catch on the plus, side but then otherwise otherwise
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he's been he's been struggling up.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: There he has, been by the, way just to, clarify
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: pinchhit in a blowout. Loss that was. It if the
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: internet's worried about what why he was pulled in ninth
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: and ave an eight to one. Game Derek shelton, Said
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: kreyler is gonna play because they're gonna face two lefties
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: and In, sacramento Which i'm sure they're thrilled to be
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: facing lefties. Again But kriyler's gonna get some time and
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: has not had at, bat so he wanted to get
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: him in a. Bat So buckson singled but also grounded
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: to double play in the first, saying and, yeah his
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: timing's been. Off he has not looked, great AND i
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: think when you look at like some of the. Stuff
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: as far as why the runners in scoring position isn't
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: working When byron's at full strength and a, presence even
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: if he's not hitting with runners in scoring. Position it's
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: a dude you have to account for if you're an
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: imposing pitcher and who consumes a lot of your energy
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: just because of what he can do at the. Plate
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: and he has not really been that guy so, far
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: that not since he came. BACK i think it was you,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: know it's been like thirty seven played appearances since he's come,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: back and the ops is. Lows he's struggling right. Now
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: he was asked about the health pregame and he, said,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: hey you know where some days are, good some days are.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Bad he's, like but we're not at a point right
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: now where you think about. That you're, going, going, Going
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: but you, KNOW i Think byron feels like he can
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: get out there and do the job and right now
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: it's not. Happening but HE i don't think there's work
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: AND i know he puts it in and so it's
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: something that makes me think he'll solve. It but they need.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: IT i, mean they absolutely need some kind of spark
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: for this team because aside from The brooksley home Run,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: sunday there was not much offensively going. On we saw
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: the same Thing, friday and that knockout blow On saturday
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: would have been so key if they had grabbed an
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: eight one lead, there if they'd grabbed a seven to
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: one or even a six to one lead, there it
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: really sets you up a little bit different in how
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: you can use your, starter your bullpen and try and proceed.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: There and the fact that they weren't able to capitalize
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: was definitely. Critical and we've seen that times with them
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: lately where they haven't HAD i mean That atlanta, series
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: they didn't get the knockout blow and they had a
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: few chances to put those games. Away the bullpen was
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: fortunate enough to come in and get the job. Done
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: and that's the. Difference like the bullpen that wonky seventh
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: inning On, saturday you, know just fell apart and instead
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: of getting one and going four and four after The
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: field Of, dreams you come out three and three and five.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And almost got it for You, dan almost got your.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Prediction yea.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Almost but, yeah definitely a, tough you, know tough series
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: just because you could see. It it was it was
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: within reach at points and then the padres when when
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: The twins didn't grab. It The padres absolutely grabbed hold
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: of it and choked it. Out but that was.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It to be fair to Bust. In that stretch coincides
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: with or it started with The field Of dreams. Games
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: so it's been the stretch of these three really Great
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: National league teams The twins have been. Playing, Yeah royce
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: lewis also on the list of not doing well in that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Stretch he's Been he was four for thirty two in
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: those nine. Games phillies haven't lost since The twins played.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Themselves like these were tough.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Teams he's nine in a.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Row.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Man yeahs.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Insane but You, tyler just like you see the gap
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: from these teams to The twins where The twins have
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of these guys struggle and just everything seems
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to shut down and it makes things really.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Tough, yeah and it's one you, know we're we're.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: COMPETITIVE i think that's the you, know we talked about
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: a name for the, team like they're, competitive they're going to.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Compete but there's another tier of, teams especially The National.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: League but just the gap between you, know the middling
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: group of the wild card teams and then those other
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: guys and you, know that's why you didn't see anybody
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: go make a crazy.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Move you.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Know obviously they're the big splashes ever made by the
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: teams really in the. Hunt but The twins went and
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: got some pieces that made. Sense they didn't, go you,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: know burn burn them through all this money or anything like.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: That they they wanted to be more competitive and they did.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: That and the issue right now has been the lack
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: of at times the. Offense you, know the bullpen, stabilized
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: had a couple of, roughendings things like, that but it
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: is it's just you're playing the best competition arguably you've
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: played all year kind of in, succession and it's just
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: you're getting to see what caliber is out, there you,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: know and the other on these other, teams and you,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: know it's whether it's just getting out, pitched you, know
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: or game planning whatever it may. Be you, know like
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: they Had, mies the Irony mice comes out of that.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Game they probably would have rather him stand the.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Game and get right. Vs against.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Them you, know it's just like stuff like that's bad
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: luck almost you, know the guy who rolls his ankle
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: walking down the stairs while the guys are getting. Hot
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: so it's just it's it's just one of those. LULLS
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: i think right, NOW i think this this. Week you,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: know this series will get them right face somebody that
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: they played not long ago had a good series. Against you,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Know it's it's just it's such a momentum based, game
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: and you know they had the great. Series but those off,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: days you, know we used to joke like some guys
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: don't want the off day because they want to keep,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: playing you, know and it seems like maybe that off
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: day put a little rust into some, bodies As roger
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: AND i used to joke that riga mortis sets in
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: when you don't move around enough on those. Dates so
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: it's just sometimes you just need to keep playing and you,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: know get hot and get a good stretch. Going you
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: it's a guys are having a bad. Week if they'll
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: come out of, it it's gonna work itself. Out it's,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: just you, know it's tough to lose three in a,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: row especially when you're competitive in, them and then they.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Just blow up in your face like.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: That the good news The pottery or The potters are
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Last National league. Team The twins will play until they're
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: At San, francisco which is the last week in the.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Season The twins have An American league or A National league.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Problem they are sixteen and twenty nine Against National league
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: teams this, year and to face three in them a
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: row in a row is like such a buzz. Saw
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: like that was just a very difficult part of the,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: schedule and they came out poorly three and. Sects but
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: they do. Not they're forty seven and thirty nine against
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: The American, league and there is twenty eight of their
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: thirty one remaining games against The American, league including a
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: ton against The White sox and The tigers twelve in
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: a row after they play The a's here and then
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: they Play cleveland. Too like, that so they have their
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: chances against the league that they are faring well. Against but,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: again like this is just an up and down. Season
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: it is so crazy how they can just play great
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: for three four five days and then look terrible for
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: three days four. Days it's something they got to get
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: out of their, way and they need to get that offense,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: going especially In sacramento against a Weak oakland team and
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Our a's. TEAM i, KNOW i know what you. Said
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: you don't want to you don't want to put it
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: out there because you like you don't want to say
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: a week team because you set up this, expectation but
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: this is a chance to beat up on an inferior
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: opponent and at a hitter friendly ballpark and anything do
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: to get your offense. Going this is the spot to be.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Well and it's it's like it's it's now or never, really, like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: yes we can deal with stumbling a bit against a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: bad team In june And, july but you're as you
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: as you slide down the. Standings you got to figure
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: out a way to turn it. Around and, like since
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: in the second half of the season they are ten
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and twenty four The, a's they lost a lot of,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: games twelve out of thirteen at one, point including the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: two that they lost In. Minnesota they've been losing almost
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: every night Out, obviously you need to win two out of.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Three all their guys are, out like they're they're hitting
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: their lineups mangled right.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Now they've got, nobody you, KNOW i Think hurts is
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: down or he went down while they were playing The.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Twins like, there their guys are out of the, Lineup,

• 26:16
  Speaker 1: American league being so so mid this. Season but as
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: The twins struggle and as the offense labors through this,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: month let's get an update of how things are going
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: down on the. Farm what's happening In Saint? Paul, oh
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: look at That Walker. Jenkins this Is this is a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: tweet from The Saint Paul. Saints if you're listening to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: us and not, Watching i'll read it for. You it,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: says make it a two homer game For Walker. Jenkins
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: he had never had a two homer game in his,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: career and now he has three in his last. Thirteen
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: he's three for three with two, homers THREE, rbi a stolen,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: base and two. Runs score came in, today slashing three eighty,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: seven four to fifty, seven six ninety, four one point,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: one five to one in fifteen games In.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: August, uh you.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: See on the screen if you're, watching that is like
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a pause the. VIDEO i can't show the, video BUT
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: i paused it right after he finished his, swing and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: everyone's head is looking very high up in that ball
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: when out of the stadium the, ground there's these people
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: standing on this like catwalk and they're they're all turned
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: around looking. Outside, yes like, yeah so he smashed. It
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we've covered it a. Lot it's going to continue to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: be a, topic of. Course But, dan you, know as
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this team. Struggles, yes perhaps things maybe turned around Starting
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: monday night In, sacramento but if they're serious about making
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: a push and the bats aren't coming, around you've got
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: this guy. MASHING i know it's no guarantee that he
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: mashes in the, majors but at what point does it
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Become Walker jenkins.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: TIME i, mean maybe those fans were actually not looking
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: up at the home run but at his amazing, numbers
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: because you sash bows coming. In he is now hitting four,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: fifteen four ninety, three eight hundred In. AUGUST i, mean
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: it's it's hard when you look at this and the
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: way he's hitting the ball not to think it's close
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: The twins when they one of the big things they
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: want to see With Walker jenkins was the power. Developed
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: because this is a guy that came into the season
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: after three years of being a pro with nineteen home,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: runs and the power is, missing and eleven home runs
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: he's hit this year does not jump off the page
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: at you and go, man that's that's he's forcing the.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Issue but His august performance has you thinking it could be.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Time because we're talking about seventy five played, appearances AND
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: i do recognize that it's a small sample in the
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: context of a big, season but he's, performing and he's
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: hit seven of those eleven home runs In august three
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: two homer. Games there was one two homer game early
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: on where he got cheapy At Saint paul and opposite
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: she fields. Shot but when he's hitting to the left
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: side right, now there's some authority to it. Too the
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: one he hits to left center to day was one
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: oh one point five off the, bat twenty eight degrees
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: launch angle that gets at the minimum it gets down
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: or off the wall for a double if not a
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: home run at, home he's hitting them. Legitimately the one
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: that he hits the right field was one oh eight
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: five off the bat and traveled like four point two
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: miles according to Stat. Cast you, know that's my unofficial
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: estimation on, it but it's hard not to look at
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: it and, go, man could he help his team? Out
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: because he really looks good right? Now AND i get.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: It they've said they want him to play every day
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: And Byron buckston is going to be your center fielder
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: when he's. Healthy And Byron buckson right now is in
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: there every day playing center. Field so Can jenkins play
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: a corner? All? Right then who does he take at bats?
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: From and that would Mean larnick Or Alan roden are
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: the guys that get pulled for him because you're not
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Taking Luke keishaw the. Lineup even with his fresh, haircut
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: he is still hitting the ball hard and had a
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: great series In San diego even though he maybe's COURT i,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: know what do we? Do it's made himself a little
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: more aerodynamic with. THAT i don't, know like the drag
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: of the hair before it was too much and he
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: wanted to make it be. FASTER i don't, know But.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Tyler you were justifiably saw that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Haircut oh, man, dude off, day that's what we're talking.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: About off, Days like stuff happens on those. Days it's
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: like who who spoke to you and told you that
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: was the right move, man you got show hair just this.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: LUXURIOUS i would kill for, that and you, know just
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: to cut it, off like, me come, on what are we?
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Doing and then.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: What DO i? Know so even, okay, look you're not
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Pulling Ki Shall bucks AND i mean buckson needs guys
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: bat going, again but you're not Pulling. Bucks and so
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: really you're looking at how do we get him? In
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: And larnic has struggled In. August he's got four seventy
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: five ops In. August Alan roaden has an eight fifty
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: nine ops In, august which is third highest on the.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Team but that's a small sample size. Too it really
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: comes down to where do they want to find those
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: at bats for. Him i'm certain they, could it's just
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: do they want to do. It you, Know, look the
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: urgency might be. THERE i shouldn't say the urgency might be.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: There the urgency is. There you're sixty three and sixty.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Eight you do got to. Win you've got to do
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: what you can to do to. Win do they think
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that bringing him up? Helps? That is that cause? Inflator?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Like is that cause aided? Significantly it's. Possible it. Is
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Walker jenkins is a top. Talent we're not talking about
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Like Cavin culpeper is a very good, prospect but he
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: was like forty Ish Walker jenkins has been a top
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: ten prospect for most of his. CAREER i think he's
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: fifteenth right. Now those are difference making type. Players so you,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: know do they want to take that risk and bring him?
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Up AND i you, know it's a tough. QUESTION i,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: MEAN i get why fans are clamoring for. It they
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: should be clamoring for. It he looks pretty. READY i
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: want to see, him but ALSO i don't make those,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: decisions and so you just kind of go with it
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: as as it. HAPPENS i don't know what to say
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: on it other than, yeah it'd be great to see,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: him BUT i don't know if it's going to happen or.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Not, WELL i want to give you Credit dan for
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a point you made in the first version of this
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: segment that didn't. Record but Like lornick has been has
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: had a has had a Brutal, august but so have
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: most of the, twins And lornick has a Great june And.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: July so where do you like carry where where do
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: you fall on that? Spectrum And, tyler Like i'll ask
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: you to imagine like you're a pitcher on The, twins
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: would really love it if your offense could score some more,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Runs like do you do you feel like you think
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that's more likely to happen? Internally or you've got this
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: kid sitting there In TRIPLE a that's hitting moonshots at least.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: He's we've we've talked, about like even For, picture it's
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: kind of the same for everybody as a baseball. Player
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: you've got to force your team's, hand you, know your front,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: office your, Organization you've got to make them make a tough.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Decision and he is absolutely doing everything. Right you, know
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: he's hammering, walls he's hitting his barrels left and. Right you,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Know homer's at a crazy clip right. Now he's hitting
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: four hundred or whatever for the. Month like he is
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: doing everything that you ask him to do In TRIPLE
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: a to get called. Up the wrinkle is it's who
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: do you then get rid of at the major league?
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Level you you, know THE i guess most expendable guy
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: would Be, Rodent but he's one of your best bats right,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: now and you use him against Right he's he's been
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: clutch all season while he's been up, There like it's
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: just a tough, spot you. Know to, again we've talked
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: about vibes all year at that locker. Room not that
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Adding jenkins would kill a. Vibe it was just losing
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: guys sometimes has an effect in a locker, room you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Know is that a weight in? THERE i don't, know
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: BUT i think.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: IT'S i think some tough conversations are being had right.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Now you, know it's one in my head to make.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Too much sense for him to magically Being sacramento tomorrow
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: and surprise everybody and have him have the easier, series you,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: know against it not as big of a team to stay.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Hot but it's it's also a move like if you're
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: serious about trying to make a push for this wild
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: card and you're not worried about all the other, things you,
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: know the service, time the things like, that you call
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: them up in my, mind and you, know it's easy
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: for me to, Say i've said many times there's a
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: REASON i will never be A. Gm that is a horrible,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: job you, know because you're damned if you, do you
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: damned if you. Don't but he's doing everything. Right The
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: twins could use a, boost like it seems to make perfect.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Sense you, know maybe they wait till they get back.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Home who, knows but, yeah he's there's nothing else he
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: can do right now unless he's, got you like a

  Speaker 4: hangnail we don't know, about and they're waiting for that
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: to heal or.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Something and, again, remember what what is the war value
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: of saving fainting? Children BECAUSE i think that that's half a, win,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Right like that's.

• 36:43
  Speaker 1: man a sweep would be really, helpful.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Obviously you, know it's.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: So funny we keep saying, this and it's almost like
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: why we even preview these, series because like it's, like,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: oh they get, swept like three straight series sweeps, right
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: one By phillies of The twins won by The twins
• 36:59

• 37:04
  Speaker 3: they're five. Hundred they're just at this part where they
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: need to get, going AND i feel like we could
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: just copy and paste, that and so with that in,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Mind i'm going to give you a few notes here injury,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: wise notes that we need to cover before we wrap.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Up Joe ryan threw thirty five. Pitches all of his
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: pitches were thrown like ostped everything in a bullpen At
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Saint paul On saturday. Night he went To Saint paul
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: because there was a concert at Target. FIELD i can't
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: remember which one it, was whether it was The Country
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: one or whether it was My Chemical it was either
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: My Chemical romance or The Country. One But Joe ryan
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: threw thirty five. Pitches next step to be. DETERMINED i
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: actually think we'll hear about that sometime Later. Monday and
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: then the other interesting note Was Kendrey rojas was one
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: inning into his Outing friday At Saint, paul hurt, himself
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: heard his, oblique his right side, oblique and went on THE.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: IL i don't, know if you, know that might be
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: this season for. Him that's a tough. One the obleaque
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: is not an easy one to come back. From and
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: it's unfortunate because twelve, innings twelve, strikeouts zero point seventy
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: five ere at TRIPLE a since he went. Down more
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: importantly than, that just three walks in those twelve, innings
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: so he was striking guys out and not walking, guys
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: and so he goes down with the, injury and it's
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: definitely you, know you hope you Get Joe ryan. Back
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: shelty Before sunday's game, SAID i asked what the next step,
• 38:33
