Runs scored, few strikeouts. Watching the Twins, who knew it could be done?

October 19, 2023 at 2:29PM
(The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Introduction: Host Michael Rand looks at the remaining MLB playoff teams and finds teams scoring runs without a preponderance of strikeouts. Houston and Texas, for instance, combined for 13 runs on Wednesday while striking out just 10 times combined. It was a far cry from how the Twins' season ended and made Rand think more about where the Twins can alter their approach. Plus, an opportunity on Thursday for the Wild.

10:00: The Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda joins Rand for a look at Minnesota United. The Loons are still very much in the MLS playoff race, but as soon as the year ends they will turn to a biggest question of who will coach the team long-term.

25:00: The impact of Marcus Davenport's injury and an interesting read on the future of sports on TV.

FanGraphs and ESPN view the Twins roster as one that is flawed, but currently projected to win around 80 games.
