Description
The Twins' visit to Yankee Stadium went about as expected, as Minnesota's streak of winning series against good teams comes to an end. David and Dan discuss the inevitability of it all, but they are especially disappointed in the team's ability to squeak out a win in Game 1 of an otherwise regrettable series. David is disappointed that Bailey Ober and Griffin Jax didn't get a chance to pitch in New York, and Dan questions Rocco's handling of Game 1. Dan asks David a question with trepidation, and David is once again ready to sign half a dozen pitchers to help balance out what looks to be a stellar lineup again in 2022. Now it's on to Boston for the Twins, who will have to make a weird one-game visit to New York to make up for what would have been Game 4 of this Yankees series in mid-September.
