MN for the Win - A Minnesota Twins Podcast
Nothing Better than a Walk-off Walk (Giants Series Recap, 8/26-8/28)
The Minnesota Twins ended a six-game losing streak emphatically with a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants, who previously had only visited Minnesota for one series since the Giants moved out West. Filling in for a vacationing David, Hoges praises the play of baseball superstar Carlos Correa, who had perhaps his best series with the Twins, and Dan jumps on the Jake Cave bandwagon after the oft cast-off centerfielder also has his best series with the Twins this season. They discuss whether Rocco Baldelli's team-meeting speech deserves credit for the turnaround series, but they also wonder if Rocco really knows the difference (again) between low- and high-leverage situations (specifically when Emilio Pagan is available to pitch). They also end with a discussion of Julio Rodriguez's new contract with the Mariners and whether that sort of deal is something the Twins should explore with their young stars. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
