| 0:45.6 | At that target field today, we saw yet another Twins lost, Mr. Aaron Gleeman of the Athletic. |
| 0:51.2 | Yes, Mr. John Bonas of Twinsdaily.com. That was... Dropping the team to 7 and 13. Yeah. And I think the... I think maybe more depressing than losing 2 out of 3 to Pittsburgh, which is, you know... I mean, they're not playing bad baseball, but they're not a good team. Right.
