Punch Another Ticket on the Nick Gordon Train (Red Sox Series Recap, 8/29-8/31)
Largely behind the bat of Nick Gordon, the Twins win two of three at home against the Boston Red Sox, and they stay close to the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians as we head into September. Back from vacation, David waxes about memories of his grandmother and the rich family history of Twins' fandom. As to this series, they praise and criticize the play of Gordon, and they question the way Rocco Baldelli ended Game 3 and also how he handled substitutions in Game 1. David gets to answer Hoges' Archer argument from last episode, while Dan mostly sits by and watches. They also discuss how to properly take a curtain call, and they look around the league at what Pete Alonso has been doing for the Mets. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
