Pitch to Contact Episode 9: The Prince Who was Promised, and also Tyler Mahle

A winning week means a winning pod. The Twins’ bats came to life and destroyed some Cubbie pitching to cap off series wins over the Padres and Cubs. The guys talk about what they liked from the Twins this week, what they didn’t, and whether the offensive burst is sustainable. Plus Ben is proven correct in his season-long obsession with getting Alex Kirilloff back in the lineup. Then, the guys talk about a flurry of roster moves for the Twins in the last week, including Max Kepler’s diagnosis, Royce Lewis’ promising rehab start, and why Jose Miranda may have played his way out of the Twins’ long term plans. Plus a discussion over the Tyler Mahle trade and whether the Twins made the right move in the wake of his Tommy John’s surgery.
