Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome into the show today. Thank you for making this
podcast part of your day. I'm gonna talk about the Twins'
amazing accomplishment, something they haven't done in nearly two hundred days,
according to Declan Goff of Score North. An amazing accomplishment

(00:29):
really for the Minnesota Twins. But first I have to
tell you about my new sponsor, five Star Bath Solutions
of Minneapolis.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Google them, check them out.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
My wife and I were in the business of looking
for a bathroom ramodel, a full bathroom model, a affordable
bathroom ram model, and something that wasn't gonna take four
months to complete. I emailed Peple, I contacted several businesses
and they're like, yeah, we could get that done in

(01:04):
four to six weeks. This seems like forever we're gonna
have to relegate to our one bathroom down in the
basement to get ready and do the things we need
to do at stinks. So I kept looking, kept researching.
I googled bathroom of models, and five Star bath Solutions

(01:26):
of Minneapolis came up. I contacted them, They got us
a free consultation, they scheduled it, came to our house
and a few weeks later and The bathroom was done
within forty eight hours. It took them two days to

(01:49):
do what some companies promised to do in six weeks
for the same price. And they have financial payment options.
I cocked diacted the other companies like, no, you just
got to piss all right away, or take a loan
out through the bank.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's kind of sucks. That's a lot of extra work.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Five Star Bath Solutions of Minneapolis has financial payment options
and they got the bathroom done in two days. Take
a look at these photos that I have that I'll
pull up here in a second. Look at this. This
is what a bathroom looked like before.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Gross. See that big step right there.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
We hated that step, super annoying, just filled up the
entire bathroom. The people that lived here before us were
older and handicapped, so they had the grab bars, and
that created mold in our shower because the water got
behind the grab bars. There was molded everywhere. And companies
that I've contacted before the yeah, you're probably gonna have

(02:56):
to hire that out because we don't really do that. Well,
then it's well again, take even longer for the bathroom
to get done. We want a bathroom done now. I
call five Star Bath Solutions. They're like, yeah, we'll take
care of that mold. We can do all that stuff.
So that's what it looked like before. One sink, gross

(03:17):
looking floors, moldy shower, a big step that we don't need.
Take a look at the renovation here comes Look at this.
Although we made an investment on updating our bathroom, this

(03:41):
added value to our home. You ask any real estate
agent worry to get value in your home if you
update your house the bathroom. In the kitchen, we went
from a single sink to double sinks. The vanity is
a different color, the flooring is different. They got rid
of that ugly step. The mirror fits a double sinking

(04:06):
out a single sink. And this is a complete bathroom
a model. So if you need to get something done
now and you don't want to wait three to six
weeks to use your bathroom, contact five Star Bath Solution

(04:26):
of Minneapolis because they will get the job done at
an affordable price, and it doesn't need to be a
full bathroom model either. Contact them for any of your
bathroom needs and they will get it done quick, good,
and convenient for you. Five Star Bath Solutions of Minneapolis

(04:49):
Contact them today. All right, the Minnesota Twins a historical accomplishment.
They won their first game of the year. They finally
won a.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Baseball game.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Against the worst historical MLB team that the MLB has
ever seen. This was a big win. However, I will
give the Twins credit because what would be more embarrassing

(05:30):
than losing nine to zero against the lowly Chicago White
Sox would be to follow that performance with another loss
if they lost again an embarrassing fashion to the White Sox,
if you're not motivated to win a baseball game after

(05:54):
dropping three straight to Saint Louis and then losing nine
to zero against the.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
White Sox that had one of the worst records in MLB.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
History last year, I think they would have left the
Twins fans speechless, without speech because how low can you
go to start a season? And when you point the fingers,

(06:32):
every finger immediately points to the head coach Rockleball Delli.
And of course the owners get blamed to but can't
fire an owner. So you're gonna Fire're gonna fire Rockleball Deli.
But I keep on coming back to this thought, how
can you blame Rockleball Deli for the ineptitude of the

(06:56):
Minnesota Twins. When your best players are always hurt. Royce
Lewis got hurt in spring training running to first base.
He wasn't extending a glove diving for a play, landed
awkwardly just running to first base. Carlos Korea made a

(07:19):
terrific play last night at short where he dove hard
hit ball caught. It saved a run when the Timberwls
were up five to three, and then the Timberwolves. Yeah,
and the Twins opened things up in the top of
the ninth, I think when they had a three run
home run to win eight to three. But that was

(07:42):
a big play that changed the out game of the
outcome of the game potentially because it gave the Twins
some cushion going to the top of the ninth where
they could try to add some insurance runs, and they did.
But Royce Lewis always hurt, Yron Buxton and Carlos Correa

(08:06):
just a matter of time until they get hurt.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
But the Twins are now.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
One in four, and you take a look at what
they've done so far this season and that it's been
really bad. You look at what they've done in terms
of how they've lost these games. How do you lose
to the Chicago White Sox nine to zero, You lose

(08:38):
to Saint Louis nine to two, Saint Louis five to one,
five to three. It's not just the Twins being injured
in terms of Royce Lewis and Carlos Correa and Viron Buxton. Sure,

(08:59):
that's a big part of the story every single season,
but the Twins pitchers aren't very good, and going into
the season it was an obvious major problem that wasn't
really addressed all of season, probably because the Twins owners

(09:19):
are in major debt about five hundred million dollars and
are trying their best to sell the organization to somebody
else to save their butts. But I was pulling up
some stats the other day, and this was before their
big win of the season, defeating the Chicago White Sox

(09:45):
eight to three. Let's take a look at just for context.
I just want to pull up a White Sox twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Four record forty one.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Forty one. I got a squint to make sure I'm
seeing this right. Forty one and one, one hundred and
twenty one. And it's not that you can't lose to
the White Sox because they won forty one times last year.
So teams are gonna lose to the White Sox. It's
not like they can't beat anybody. But you lost to

(10:20):
them nine to zero, a team that won forty one
games last year and was the embarrassment of the league.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
You lost them nine to zero. That's tough. But pulling
up some stats that I have seen.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Throughout the regular season and Deckland he follows the Twins
and is an insider for the Twins.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
First Score North and has a Score North.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Twins show that he does, and on March thirty first,
he says the minute of Twins are hitless through five
innings against Martin Perez and then he quotes his own
tweet and he says six innings, so the Twins.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Could not get a single hit.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Against Martin Perez of the Chicago White Sox.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
And you pull up some of these other stats.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Here's a headline from March thirty first, the White Sox
jumped on Chris Paddock dearly and the Twins struck out
thirteen times while collecting just two hits as they were
shut out, and Monday's loss, they're now zero to four
to start the season for the first time since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
The Twins have a major problem on their hands.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
And the major problem is this, they have a roster
that is collect actively not good enough.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
To win games throughout the regular season, and.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
They still have one hundred and fifty eight one hundred
and fifty seven games left until the offseason where they
can try to reshape their roster.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
There is.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
A certain fascination or glorification of, Oh, if I could
just be a professional athlete, life would be so good.
I think every single kid wants to be a professional
athlete that plays sports. When they're playing basketball or baseball

(12:40):
or football, you ask them what their dream is when
they're a middle school kid, and they want to say
a baseball player, or a basketball player, a football player.
But I am not envious at all, not even an inch,
not even an ounce of me of.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Major League Baseball players.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
That are stuck on crappy teams, I'm not envious of
their job. Sure, they get paid millions and millions and
millions of dollars, so maybe it's worth it. But wow,
to lose as often as the White Sox lost last year,
that's not fun.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
That's tough.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
The travel, the practice, the prep to win forty one
games and then to do that again. It's a lot
of baseball. That's a lot of swinging bats. I get
you probably love the game. You have to love the
game or you love the money something. That's a lot
of grind and travel and difficulty. Of all the sports.

(13:55):
If I had to choose to play or not play
out of the NBA, NHL football, baseball would be the
bottom of the list because of the amount of times
that you're forced to play, and not even that in

(14:18):
the regular season. Then you've got postseason if your team's
good enough, and then you've got spring training. Pitchers and
kedgers reported like January or February. It's like the baseball
season is like ten months out of the year. Goes
from what the end of March until October is a

(14:42):
regular season, and then playoffs started in October, and then
are the world that of World Series champions crowned at
the end of October or early November. Then he got okay,
the November off, December off a pitchers and catchers report
in January or February, say, oh my gosh, baseball players,

(15:06):
I am not envious of their lifestyle. Regardless of how
many millions of dollars they make. That's rough because it's
not like you're playing a schedule like basketball, where yeah,
the Timbrels were in Denver last night, and they play
Brooklyn on Thursday night, and they'll be back in Minnesota
for a seven game home stand, or whatever the case

(15:28):
may be here, maybe they have a one day trip
out here. In baseball, you got three straight games in
Saint Louis. You got three straight games in Chicago. These
are long, long seasons, and the dedication and focus that
it takes to be a part of these long seasons

(15:51):
is tough. And maybe that's why the Twins are injured
so often, because the players are not durable enough to
endure one hundred and sixty two games and spring training
and the offseason activities. Baseball so long it's crazy. But
the Timberwolve the Timberwolves. Gosh, the Twins historical performance. They

(16:13):
won their first baseball game for the first time in
one one hundred and eighty eight days, the first ones
on the board. Is it true that they say the
first one is the toughest, but they finally beat the
worst team in baseball last season. Hey, to Chicago's credit,

(16:39):
they are two win three of the season. They're almost
halfway to their win total last year, so maybe they
turned things around. Maybe they're hopeful this year because right
now they're tied for first.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
In the l in the AL Central. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Maybe maybe the maybe maybe Chicago can win sixty games
this year, or maybe even eighty games this year. Maybe
maybe I'm viewing this situation with the Twins all wrong.
Maybe they're supposed to lose to the White Sox that
won forty one games last year. But the Twins pitching stinks,

(17:17):
the Twins hitting stinks. And I was gonna do a
podcast last Friday and say expect the Twins to stink
this season.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I started feeling sick.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I wasn't feeling good, and I'll say, now, expect the
Twins to stink this year. It doesn't sound as good
when they're one and four before the regular season started,
and I said that it sounds a little bit better.
But that was the take I had last week and
couldn't quite get it out here in time. But that's
the take on the Twins. Check out five Star Bath
