00:00 The Twins, the AL Central favorites, the AL Central champs from a year ago.
00:04 Back to what we expected.
00:06 Four games above 500, 17 and 13.
00:09 10 wins in a row, 10 runs yesterday against the White Sox for that
00:13 10th straight victory, 10 to 5.
00:16 Relentless offense yesterday, which is great to see.
00:19 Like breaking down that game, the Minnesota Twins team total was always
00:22 going to be a very good option because it wasn't all that high on flexing.
00:25 Five innings pitch, two earned runs.
00:27 But as soon as he leaves the game bent, two runs scored in the six,
00:29 two more in the seventh and four more in the ninth to put that game away.
00:32 15 total runs in this one.
00:34 But also when you're streaking 17 to 13, I say like, wow, how terrible
00:38 were they to actually start the year based on all the wins they're piling up?
00:41 They didn't play all that well.
00:42 Sometimes it just so happens where if you are Minnesota and you do play
00:46 the primarily games at home in the month of April where they're cold,
00:49 those bats aren't ready to go yet.
00:51 Now we see the weather starting to shift here and you see the Minnesota
00:54 Twins really reacting at the plate.
00:55 And also it's nice to play a team with six total wins on their season,
00:59 like the Chicago White Sox do have.
01:00 That's a good performance.
01:01 Yes.
01:01 They over kept them in the game, six innings pitch, four earned runs,
01:04 and the rest of the way, the bullpen held it down and they hammered
01:07 the Chicago White Sox bullpen.
01:09 It's a fun team there.
01:09 And also just from a handicapping perspective here, the ability for the
01:13 Twins to stack up a lot of left-hand bats against right-handed pitchers.
01:16 That's a luxury to have and something a lot of major league
01:19 baseball teams don't have.
01:20 Nice streak for the Twins.
01:21 And it looks like they're waking up at the plate.
