On a cold day at Target Field, the Minnesota Twins won their home opener, and then promptly went cold at the plate, losing two of three against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. David is enamored of the start by Simeon Woods-Richardson and impressed by the play of Tristan Gray. But he wonders just how long Twins fans will need to wait to see Kaelen Culpepper playing shortstop for the Twins. Dan laments the missed chances at the end of Game 3 and asks what Kody Clemens is doing at the top of the lineup. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
