And welcome to Gleman, KFANDN, Sponsored by the Minnesota corn growers, MNFARM.FARM.

0:14.5

I'm John Bowles, a Twinsdaily.com.

0:18.5

Across the table from me is Aaron Gleeman of Baseball Perspectus.com at Aaron gleeman.com. How you doing, Aaron? I'm all right. This is our post-6-home run show. That's right. Twins at a 7-1 over the New York Yankees, and you said we could never beat the game. I said they could literally, they could play them a thousand times, and it would literally... No team has beat any other team as much as the Twins of the Yankees have beat the Twins? I can't, I mean... The Yankees record versus the Twins over the last 15 years is the most any team has beaten any other team in terms of percentage wins. I mean, I don't even... Is even count in the playoffs? I don't even know if that counts the playoffs. If that counts the playoffs, because they almost literally never won in the playoffs. And so I don't see how a team could be worse against the other team during that time. But not today. No. It was giveaway day at Yankee Stadium.

1:27.3

Yeah. All the Twins fans got a ball. If they all they had to do was sit in the bleachers, six home runs. Nathan Eivaldi was giving them all over the ball. Santana, Doger, Plouf, Kepler, Nunez, and Santaynoe, all with home runs today at Yankee Stadium. Why can't they do that every game, John? Even maybe better news.

2:03.2

Tyler Duffy comes in after a week that he wasn't sure he was going to be with the Twins anymore. After his last start, there was a lot of discussion. My monitor actually hedged right after the game. What was it, Tuesday's game? It must have been Tuesday's games. Which was a real ugly. It was a real ugly game. The whole Philly series was really ugly, especially those first two games. And third game, too, because that's the one they lost. Molliter hedged his bets right after that game as to whether or not Duffy would be in the rotation again. Apparently, the brain trust over there sat down and took a look at their options and decided to give a more shot.

2:04.8

I don't know why that made me laugh just then.

2:05.9

I thought you'd like that.

2:12.9

Eight innings pitched, just two hits, gave up a home run to Mark Tashara as the only run that he gave up there.

2:15.3

Eight strikeouts, no walks.

2:15.6

Yeah.

3:07.7

I think probably the most interesting statistic of that one is that there are only two hits in those eight endings. Because if you take – and not too surprising that there was still a home run, because that's what has undone Duffy. It's not that he's walking the base – he still keeps throwing strikes. The problem he's throwing too good to strike. Although – I mean, it was six to one or six to nothing when he give up the homer right so i mean yes although it is difficult these days to give up a home run to mark to share it's but i think they said it's been 160 something plate appearances really and it's been months because he was on the d l it's a little bit like in the lasco giving up the bomb to ryan howard during the philly series i was like that's's very difficult to do. Give up a 400-something foot bomb to Ryan Howard. In his previous seven starts, Tyler Deveread pitched 35 innings and given up 58 hits. Nine home runs and 58 hits. Yeah. You should be giving up, I mean, generally it's about a one-to-one ratio hits to walks,

3:09.1

like about what the average is.

3:10.0

Hits the innings, yeah.

3:16.1

Hits to innings pitched, 58 to 35, and then today he comes out and gives up two in eight.

3:22.8

I give the twins some credit, the brain trust, as you said, because they have more often than not, particularly in the last, once things went south,

3:26.9

which was very quick this year, they've reacted very quickly and without a lot of

3:32.4

planning to a lot of things.

3:33.6

This guy struggles.

3:34.6

He's down.

3:35.0

This guy's playing well.

3:35.7

He's up.

3:36.2

This guy's, you know, lineup changes are constant.
