| 0:36.6 | Cleveland on the Geek podcast on KFAN, 1003, sponsored by Minnesota CornGroarves. I'm John Bonas for Twinsdaily.com. Next to me is Aaron Gleeman of Baseball Perspectus.com and Aaron gleeman.com. How are you doing, Aaron? Good. Not next to you. Let's paint a picture. It's a bit like when you go to a movie and there's only two people there, you don't sit next to the person. So you got to leave a little space. And John has been known to pull the popcorn trick at the movies. So I definitely, I stay away. We got another win to talk about. Yes, we do. All of a sudden now.

| 1:53.0 | But, you know, if you would have told me after the 0 and 9 start, and then I think really the low sort of point once it got deep into the season was |
| 2:02.6 | they were at one point 20 and 48 68 games into the season that's not just a slow start |
