Chrystal and Ben chat about the bottom-dwellers of the AL Central
The delightful Ben Jones of our sister site Twinkie Town joins the show to discuss the Minnesota Twins. Sitting just above the White Sox, the Twins are also riddled with injury and only rearranged their roster, aside from parting ways with Sonny Gray and Jorge Polanco in the offseason. But with heartthrobs like Joe Ryan pitching and a healthy Byron Buxton, the team might be able to contend this season.
Here’s what we talked about in this episode:
- What’s new in Minnesota?
- The Twinkies are second-to-last, in front of the White Sox
- Everyone is injured and bats are cold (wait, that sounds familiar)
- Grading the offseason
- Confidence going into 2024
- Pitching matchups
- Threats, fears, and keys to winning a series
- Byron Buxton is pain-free and feeling good
- Predictions for 2024
- Hot Twins takes
