Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the suddenly and remarkably consistent Twins, who have won two out of three games in six consecutive series, needing to win the third game of the series each time to achieve the feat, and have also homered in 28 straight games. That sort of run would be good news in the postseason, but this isn’t: a listener points out that if the season ended today, it would be Twins at Yankees for three games in October. Plus Rand gets into comments from Gophers AD Mark Coyle about the future of college athletics.
Gearing up for Caitlin Clark, Gophers sports changes and ... Twins vs. Yankees?
On Thursday’s Daily Delivery podcast, host Michael Rand talked with Star Tribune Lynx writer Kent Youngblood about Sunday’s huge home game against the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark. Plus Rand looked ahead at Gophers sports and a possible Twins playoff matchup.
