Back to EpisodesSilenced by Kershaw, Longing for Gibson (Dodgers Series Recap, 4/12-4/13)
Description
Hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time in eight years, it doesn't go well for the Twins, who muster just two runs and six hits in the series. But it isn't a series without highlights -- for the Dodgers, anyway, who get seven perfect innings from the great Clayton Kershaw before the future Hall of Fame pitcher sits down for the final two frames. David and Dan discuss the logic of that choice and then question a whole lot about how the Twins approached the series, from the rain-stunted Game 1 to a Game 2 that was seemingly thrown away by manager Rocco Baldelli before it even began. Alex Kirilloff is hurt, Luis Arraez has played like he is also injured, and as Dan tries to conjure memories of the great Twins starters, Kyle Gibson is inexplicably near the front. But hey, David apparently is ready to crown Chris Archer as the next great Twins reclamation project.
Thanks so much for listening, and as always, go Twins!
