00:00How about this story going on?
00:02Since May 9th, you know who has the best record in baseball?
00:06The Twins.
00:08They're 33-26 since May 9th.
00:13I mean, in the American League.
00:15How have they turned this thing around?
00:20I'm not a believer in this Twins team.
00:23Baseball is such an interesting sport.
00:24They've gotten hot at the right time, right?
00:26Another team, I kind of thought you were going to say the Red Sox,
00:28because if you look at the Red Sox' recent record.
00:31Yeah, they're back to 500, right?
00:34Outstanding.
00:34And I tell you what, I think it's good for baseball
00:36when the Red Sox win baseball games.
00:38But that was not the question.
00:40They've done good pitching.
00:42I mean, their whole team has played well.
00:43I mean, but it's been the starting rotation, you know.
00:46I think they got Bradley on the mound.
00:48Todd Bradley's on the mound today.
00:49You know, he's somebody who I was talking about earlier.
00:53You know, his split finger has been a lot better.
00:55His metrics have been, you know, a lot better this year.
00:59His hard hit percentage has gone down.
01:01There's certain things that are just going up.
01:03So somebody in that organization is helping these pitchers.
01:05Because Todd Bradley has notoriously been somebody that, you know,
01:09has been all right.
01:09But not somebody whose metrics, I think, to trend in the right direction.
01:15And right now we're seeing that.
01:16So maybe they got somebody in there helping the pitchers.
01:18I don't know what it is.
01:19I've never thought Joe Ryan was such a great pitcher, if I'm being honest.
01:22And he's still keeping that ERA under a three, if I'm not mistaken.
01:26I don't have it in front of me.
01:27But, you know, he's been their, you know, ace, so to speak, there.
01:30They've done good from the starting rotation.
01:32And that's what plays out for anybody.
01:35You know, you mentioned the Red Sox.
01:37Do you know this is the first time they're at 500 since game two of the year?
01:41How have they turned this thing around, which is incredible.
01:44One time they were talking, hey, John Henry, sell the team.
01:47Now here you are.
01:48You're a couple games out of the wild card.
01:50You're like three games out.
01:51I mean, what turned it around for Boston?
01:54I want to say the locker room.
01:56And how do you turn a locker room around?
01:59You know, I just gave the pitching as an example for the Twins.
02:02And, you know, I don't know what's going on in their locker room.
02:04But the clubhouse, man, this clubhouse has such an aura about it right now.
02:09And that's easy when you win 11 games straight.
02:11But I was feeling that aura, you know, even when they were just three, four games into that winning streak
02:17that they started.
02:18You know, Contreras and the whole thing with the pitcher, you know, spouting off to him.
02:24I mean, there's been a lot of passion, passion, passion in the clubhouse.
02:30It feels like they want it.
02:31And when the Red Sox want it and when the Red Sox win, it's good for baseball.
02:35I'm going to say that again.
02:36I'm not a Red Sox fan, but it's good for baseball.
02:39Anything out of Boston, forget it.
02:40Oh, Tani, are you concerned about his knee a little bit, 30 seconds?
02:45Are you concerned if you're the Dodgers?
02:48I'm always concerned about him.
02:50He's the best player ever to play the game.
02:52There will never be anybody else like him.
02:55If anything is wrong with him, I'm spending everything I need to spend on it.
02:59I'm doing everything I can to keep him healthy.
03:01Of course I'm concerned.
03:02I'm concerned.
