Twins Daily's Seth Stohs joined WJON's "Hang Up and Listen" Tuesday to talk about the excitement level surrounding the team and make his predictions for the upcoming season.
The Major League Baseball regular season begins Thursday night when the Nationals play the Yankees and the Giants play the Dodgers. The Twins begin their regular season Friday when they start a 3-game series at Chicago against the White Sox. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan said this is the sport he has missed the most and is excited about baseball returning.
Ovie and The Franchise is a podcast featuring Dave Overlund and Jay Caldwell and is recorded every Thursday. The show can also be heard on "Hang Up and Listen" Thursday afternoons from 1-2 p.m. on WJON.
The Twins are getting set to start the 2020 season after an interrupted spring training, and a long Covid-19 related layoff. The Twins will begin with a preseason game against the Cubs in Chicago on July 22 before opening the regular season in Chicago July 24. Hear all the games on AM 1240/95.3 FM-WJON.
So many things could go wrong with baseball's plan to return. Unlike Major League Soccer, the National Hockey League and the National Basketball Association, MLB is attempting to have teams play in their home parks.
Major League Baseball released their 2020 adjusted 60-game schedule Monday. The Twins will open the season Friday July 24 at Chicago against the White Sox starting a 3-game series. The Twins will play their home opener Tuesday July 28th against the St. Louis Cardinals at Target Field at 7:10 p.m.
Former Minnesota Lynx player Maya Moore has been working hard to get Jonathan Irons released from prison in Missouri. That goal was realized earlier this week. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan says Irons is a black man who was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and Moore left the Lynx to push for his release.
Ovie and The Franchise comes to you a day early this week for no good reason. The podcast is usually recorded on Thursdays and airs on WJON from 1-2 p.m.
Twins Daily's Seth Stohs joins WJON's "Hang Up and Listen" every Tuesday to talk baseball with Dave O. This week, Seth and Dave discuss the Twins' 60-man roster and the upcoming MLB season's rule changes.
The Twins identified their 60-man roster which includes a 40-man roster and 20-man taxi squad that will participate in the summer camp which starts this week at Target Field. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Twins are looking at many options that could include a 6-to-7 man starting pitching rotation.
