| 0:37.1 | It's in the Daily with me, Eric Glimlimby. We've got a lot to talk about. Not a lot of great stuff to talk about. It's been a tough stretch for this. Twins or wolves? Which one are we talking about here? We should have pivoted, obviously, to start the playoffs. We took this last year probably too maybe the third segment we can we |
| 0:55.6 | can add with a happy happy stuff we can talk about jana daniel sure um yeah since we last did a free show |
| 1:03.6 | the twins which the focus of the last free show was hey enjoy this however long it lasts well it |
| 1:09.3 | didn't last that much longer than that. |
| 1:11.5 | They get swept by the Reds at home and then lose two out of three on the road to the Mets, |

They will, especially, I think maybe we also track it a lot closer early in the season. |
| 2:01.1 | Sure. You know what I mean? We're only at 25 games and it's easier for us to remember. Okay, there's been three basic stretches here that, uh, for sure. I mean, a 12 game or a 13 game, that's going to stick out. But yeah, I mean, winning eight out of nine, well, notable anytime, if this happened in August, it would have just blended into the rest of the season. |
| 2:18.8 | You would have just said this was a good week. |
