Michael interviews Nathan about "Hello Dolly" at the Redlands Bowl. Nathan talks about directing the musical for the Redlands Bowl centennial season. 

So many Fairy Tales, so little time!

Hello and Welcome! Join us on this wild adventure.

After a lackluster Game 1, the Twins' bats came alive in a huge way the rest of the series to help Minnesota take two of three against the Chicago Cubs. It capped a 4-2 homestand and, as Hoges points out, looked a whole lot like the series before against the Padres. Filling in for David, Hoges highlights the efforts of Joey Gallo, Alex Kirilloff and Carlos Correa during the Twins' run eruption, in which basically every Twins' player had a part. Hoges also highlights just how good the Twins' starting pitching has been this season, while Dan praises Rocco Baldelli's shrewd lineup moves that spurred the big games with the bats. They discuss whether the rotation has enough depth to endure further injury and whether the team's struggle against left-handed pitching is something to be concerned about. They also look around the league at a team managed by a former Minnesota bench coach and wonder why that team is stealing bases and his former team rarely does the same. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Music: "Minnesota Twins Theme" (1961) written by Ray Charles and Dick Wilson. Arrangement and performance by Jason Cain.
