Call Him By His Real Name (Tigers Series Recap, 6/9-6/11)

Send us Fan Mail

Still short on starting pitching and still trying to put together a competitive bullpen, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Tigers in Detroit, falling eight games under .500. That has Dan and Hoges thinking about what might happen in late July and whether Joe Ryan is winding down his time with the Twins. Dan is confused about why Mike Paredes doesn't get the official title as "spot starter," while Hoges has diagnosed Royce Lewis' inconsistent play over the last three years. They discuss what goes into choosing a position player to pitch, and they look around the league at a feel-good story and a weird odyssey on the base paths. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
