Back to EpisodesNever Tell Me The Odds (Guardians Series Recap, 6/27-6/30)
Description
The Minnesota Twins left Cleveland ahead in the AL Central by a game, but as the win probabilities suggested, it could have been much more had they not suffered three more excruciating late-game losses to the rival Guardians, who end up winning the five-game series, three games to two despite the Twins leading in all five games. Hoges fills in for David as he and Dan discuss the handful of highs and the many bullpen-related lows. That includes a couple more Pagan meltdowns after the Twins' starting pitching was really quite good in the first four games (Chris Archer's short start in the fifth game not included). They wonder how the Twins will fill in for the LSU-bound pitching coach Wes Johnson and whether the front office will get this staff another reliable closer anytime soon. They also discuss the positive play of Carlos Correa, and Hoges -- like Han Solo -- rails against the odds and probabilities that circulate popular sports media these days. Thanks for listening; go Twins.
