While it turns out Byron Buxton can't do everything -- he cannot pitch the 9th inning, for example -- the Twins centerfielder blasted three home runs in a four-game split with the Mariners to open the 2022 season. Minnesota relied heavily on the longball, and David enjoyed the calm, business-like demeanor Gary Sanchez brought to the team (even if he came from the Yankees). Dan sticks up for his guy Miguel Sano despite a hitless series, and David points out the positives from a bullpen that pitched well in its season debut. They wonder about Rocco Baldelli's management of Luis Arraez and Gilberto Celestino and whether the Twins are just going to keep bringing up starting pitchers to avoid giving any of them a second start anytime soon.

Thanks so much for listening, and as always, go Twins!
