Back to EpisodesBuxton and Wins Return (Brewers Series Recap, 8/27-8/29)
Description
The Twins manage to steal 2 of 3 from the border rival Brewers. A rare shutout by the Twins pitching staff and a few helpful calls from the umps helped secure the game 1 victory for the Twins, and Sano seems to have upped his game enough to ensure his inclusion on the 2022 roster. Dan is disappointed in Buxton's performance for him in Puckett's Pick's as David's lead continues to grow as the end of the season is quickly approaching. David, in Dan Thompson style selects his Puckett's Pick as his beast, and Dan wants to know why teams bother using the "closer" title when each team should use the pitcher best suited for the situation. Dan wonders if the Twins current starting rotation is the most unknown rotation in the MLB, and the boys question what impact Maeda's pending surgery will have on the 2022 season. Thanks for listening!
