The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the visiting Houston Astros in their home opening series. David discusses his first trip to see live baseball at Target Field and the difficulties adjusting to the new pitch clock era. The boys discuss the Twins starting pitching proving to be a strength of the team this season, as well as the first pitch-clock violation strike out recorded by Joe Ryan. Puckett's Picks comes down to a tie-breaker which leaves Hoges sulking, and David makes some unorthodox picks for his Beast and Bench. The guys try and sort out how the injuries to Max Kepler and Joey Gallo will impact the lineup, and they discuss Rocco's paradigm shift when it comes to starting pitching and bullpen management. In Herbie's Headlines two very odd baseball feats are reported, and Hoges closes the show feeling vindicated regarding an official scoring change. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
