Clemen and the geek

Clemen and the geek. Talking baseball every week.

Because the Gleeman and the geek.

And welcome to Gleman The Geek Show on KFAN, FM100.3, sponsored by North Star Remodeling in business since

1972, 1972, doing five editions, kitchens and baths.

I'm John Bonas of Twinsdaily.com and with me, Aaron Gleeman of Baseball Perspectus.

Hey, that's us.

And we're going to talk baseball for you for a couple hours, sitting in for sauce.

We're normally on Sundays, four to five, and then we get booted as soon as the Viking season starts. And here is one difference between this twin season and the past, oh, I don't know, seven twin seasons when we've had this show. When normally September rolls around and Vikings take over Sundays and we get booted and Chad Abbott says, hey, we'll see you guys next year. And this time he said, hey, you guys want to do a Sunday or a Saturday show? We should mention we continue talking every week. We do that even during the offseason. You can be able to download this entire podcast, this entire show at our podcast, gleaming and the geek.com. It has been a, I think it's been a good week for the twins. It just didn't feel like it after last night's loss. Yeah, I mean, this is, they are still five and a half games up, right? Yeah, that's very true, John. There's still 95% to win the vision. I think they were five and a half games up when we did the show on Sunday.

Yeah. Right? Yeah. I mean, it's a little bit like there's been a lot of highs in this season. But of late, like the last, I don't know, six weeks, let's say.

Right. There's been a couple points. Like I think back to sweeping Texas in Texas.

Right.

They take four from Texas and then they come home and you think, all right, here we go. Yep. And then they just lay an egg for the next week, basically. And, you know, if they win these next two games against Cleveland, it's a completely different story. We're doing the show on a Saturday afternoon. We normally do it on a Sunday afternoon. So we have no idea how the rest of the series is going to go.

But you take two out of three at Fenway, including the Warr. on a Saturday afternoon. We normally do it on a Sunday afternoon, so we have no idea how the rest of the series is going to go.

But you take two out of three at Fenway, including the walk-off base runner kill at the play. And eight out of ten on the road trip. Right. And then you come home and you go, all right, here we go, let's keep this momentum. And, you know, it's tough to blame them too much for last night's game because one hit here there.

I mean, that was a playoff-esque game back and forth, you know, it's tough to blame them too much for last night's game because one hit here or there.

I mean, it was, that was a playoff-esque game back and forth, you know, very close till the end.

I mean, I thought... Really a goofy hit that ended up being the tying hit in that eighth inning.

I mean, that is a pop fly to right field.

And I would feel much angrier about it if we hadn't done the same thing.

Because Kepler did the same thing.

That's how we ended up getting a second run.
