Baseball #106

Entertaining and insightful discussions about the Minnesota Twins! Featuring SKOR North personalities Phil Mackey (former Minnesota Twins beat writer), Judd Zulgad (enjoyer of 1987 and 1991 Minnesota Twins World Championship teams) and Declan Goff (current SKOR North Minnesota Twins reporter). Sometimes we recklessly speculate about Minnesota Twins trades. Welcome to the club.

    Top Notch Twins Coverage
    This is a top notch podcast for Twins coverage! They put out more than enough content to whet your palette! Best part is they do not hold back on the criticism aspect. This is a go to podcast for Minnesota Twins fans!

    Great Podcast!
    While the Twins ownership is sitting at about a 1 star, you are at a 5 star rating due to your keeping us informed, not blowing smoke up our butts and just overall entertaining us. Thank you!

    Immaculate!
    I like this show because the 3 main dudes have a great rapport and while they may talk over each other at times, they are quick to recede to each other. I think that makes the show much more listenable than others where people are fighting for airtime and yelling over each other. Everyone gets their say. I’ll suggest you fellas use Rob Bowen, Ron Mahay, Oliver Drake, or perhaps even Gregorio Petit or David Hale in Immaculate Grid.

    Love extra innings.
    Great show! I especially like extra innings, that has a lot of substance. One suggestion I have is to get rid of the immaculate grid. It is hard to listen to.

    Here we go yet again…
    When are the Twins going to FIRE the whole training staff? The never ending “injuries” are unbelievable. What a bunch of softies…

    The best Twins podcast
    Great Twins podcast. Love when they do the Immaculate Grid, it's very entertaining. I'm happy they insist on top quality from the FO and players. Love the varied perspectives from Phil, Judd and Dex.

    Solid Twins Talk
    Love the show — thanks for bringing it back!
  • Azca2103
    Great to have the show back
    Awesome to have you guys back talking Twins on a regular basis. Great stuff
  • commonsmyuncle
    Great to have this show back
    Thanks for bringing near daily talkers back. Other daily twins podcasts are awful. Bring wetmore back too!
  • CyPower34
    Great listen
    Thanks for bringing the show back! Great listen and good insight! Judd brings up some valid points on moving on from Rocco and the front office. Never really considered a new GM until Judd brought it up. Lots of valuable pieces on the current roster and in the system for a GM and a coach that knows what they’re doing.

    Stop
    Stop using COVID and Simmons not getting the vaccine as an excuse for the Twins not being good this season. It’s a lazy take that Jake likes to break out at least once an episode
  • NateHammes28
    Do your homework
    Carlos Rodon’s hardest fastball this season was clocked at 97.7 mph. One of you said “he’s good, but doesn’t throw as hard as he used to..” huh? Do you guys watch baseball?
  • SPRUNG21
    Post Wetmore Woes
    This show has lost its luster since Wetmore left. He was the only person in the whole organization qualified to talk on the subject IMO. Gleeman and the Geek will provide what you are looking for. And they still report on the off-season...
  • dave from alabama
    Great job
    Great job guys. Love the old stories

    Getting what you deserve.
    Can’t honestly award any stars. I’m glad they left a twins talk show but wish they would have shown Zulgad the door and kept Wetmore.Also please don’t make us listen to Patrick Reuse anymore. His voice is nearly inaudible and we’re tired of listening to “in the old days” crap. I guess I had to award 1 Star in order to send this.

    Twins Show
    As another W. WI. Twins Fan, I love the show. Really enjoy when TK is the guest. I too wish BB free agency went more like the NFL. I can’t get enough Twins talk. Love the show. Sam
  • Spokane0001
    Great podcast
    I enjoy the show immensely! I think it is great that the show has such a diverse array of takes on the local club, from more of a geeky analytics POV (Wetmore) to middle of the road (Manny Hill) to former Twin (Glen Perkins) and my favorite ball writer (Reusse). I love the guests in -season too. Keep it up!

    I’ve waited a long time for this
    I’ve waited a long time for a Twins podcast with professionals, not amateurs. This is a great podcast for not only the regular season, but the offseason as well. I’m a baseball guy and love the Twins....and after listening to this, I get even more excited about Twins baseball. I promise I don’t work there...I’ve just been waiting a long time for a Twins podcast with insider information and got tired of the guys in their basement talking about the greatest Twins players of the past every podcast.
  • FRGFBS
    Love the daily Twins talk
    I’m happy there’s a show in the Twin Cities that focuses on the Twins. The hosts are fun and hold the team accountable without being repetitive and negative. If only the other hosts on SKOR could learn from these guys they might give that horrible FM dial sports station a run.

    Love Ramie...he is not in the preverbal bubble that most Twins fans are in, which is typically led by low self esteem and a defeatist attitude... ( I know I grew up in Minneapolis now in NY for several years) Please no more whoo is me... I’m on the bumba bus or whatever it’s called. Rake and leave the Yankees crushed- have a little attitude... ( and confidence)
  • agaman33
    What a range of opinions!
    BEWARE! This show has some great sport minds like Reusse and Perkins but I guess there are too many minutes to fill in a week. I say this because there is an over abundance of so called “hot takes” that are sheer nonsense! I get half way through most shows and have to turn them off as the opinions of certain host, especially Ramie and Mackey, are completely idiotic! Be very judicious about which shows to listen to. Read the details before you lock in as inane is many times mistaken for controversial.
  • nhklug
    Enjoyable
    Derek needs to stop pretending that he’s not a twins fan though. Nobody is buying it 😂
  • SEC432
    A must listen
    The best daily Twins Podcast. A fun group to listen to that keep you informed but they have takes aren’t aren’t negative. It’s a great way to stay informed as a Twins fan who lives in MD.

    Hands down the best way to keep up with the first place Twins. Thanks for the great, consistent coverage of the best team in baseball.
  • DutchViking84
    Non zero chance this is the best Twins talk you'll find
    Definitely better than Jeff Reboulet!
  • Stix P. McGraw
    Halfway decent
    Too many words per idea- especially Perkins, who can take forever to articulate a thought. Gleeman and the Geek is easily the best Twins podcast, but these are your guys if you’re like me and appreciate a healthy daily dose of Twins content. They’re enthusiastic and they do a halfway decent job. 4 1/2 stars for effort and attitude, 1 1/2 stars for economy.

    Super informative, highly entertaining
    Man, Perk and crew are great. So fun to hear analysis from a former player who is so knowledgeable about the game - especially a pitcher who can give his insights on pitchers, their repertoire, and (in the Twins case) why some of these guys are reviving their careers. Good banter. Feels like you’re sitting at the bar shooting the sh** with your buddies, except these guys have actual smart takes.
  • TwinsandBrews
    Perk is great
    Perk is great, awesome insight, if he could line up the occasional interviews, that would be even better!
  • TrueLiz
    Love the Glen Perkins podcast!
    I am really enjoying the new Glen Perkins podcast. Lots of fun to hear his perspective on everything. P.s. why is there a news update at the end of all the podcasts?
  • MN to IA
    Glen Perkins podcast
    Don't let Glen leave! Love listening to his insight and veiwpoints.
  • Apants
    A NON ZERO CHANCE YOU’RE GONA LOVE IT!
    Update: Glen Perkins show is now my favorite twins podcast. Fun show. Smart, casual twins talk from industry pros. GREAT TWINS PODCAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UP TO DATE, INSIDER PERSPECTIVE, PROFESSIONAL AND FUN. ANXIOUSLY AWAIT EACH NEW EPISODE. A MUST FOR TRUE TWINS FANS!!
  • atFaninMN
    Great podcast and special guests to talk Twins
    Excellent listening to Twins and MLB perspectives from call in guests like Buster Olney, Tim Kurkjian, TK, Dan Gladden, and others. New show hosted by Glen Perkins is solid.
  • Wrobl019
    Great insight
    Derek has great insight into Twins and Reusse has never been better.
  • Socrates Microwave Brito
    Frequency up, quality same
    This podcast has increased frequency under the new name. More Twins talk is better right? Maybe. There doesn’t appear to be more research or more knowledge or expansion of thought. Same Minnesota takes over and over based on core Twins knowledge. Hedging their opinions to not be wrong and repeating the same thing. I like the new voices and the personalities together, I just want more research before talking about a topic and more “why”. Sharing opinions is great but especially when having so many episodes it’s not enough to just share opinion. Tell me why you have that opinion. What sort of basis formed that opinion? What research did lead you to believe that? I’d love to see these improvements because it’s great to have a frequent Twins talk podcast. You’ve increased the frequency (thank you!), take that next step and increase the quality along with it. Expansion of thought. More prepared research. Explain why. Sight outside resources to have more informed league wide context. I’ll keep listening and wishing and hoping. I have faith!

    Best Twins Podcast Out There
    Derek has great insight into the team, great takes and a sense of humor. Great show!
  • Seanconery272
    Great Twins Pod
    Always love when these shows drop, even interesting in the off-season. Jacque Jones was the best, nothing better than settling into your seat at the dome and having the twins go up 1-0 on a lead off solo bomb in the 1st
  • Slap and Run
    Twins Legends
    Christian Gomez and Luis Rivas ... OK maybe not legends but when was the last time the Twins have had the same two up the middle in the infield
  • NOT KFAN
    What Minnesota needs...
    Great analysis. Now let’s hope they sign some free agents!
  • the baseball clown

    Ramie has been a very pleasant surprise. The young man is enjoyable to listen to

    Keep it up
    Love it keep it up!
  • Keaggyfan
    Good job
    Just listened for the first time and will keep checking u out. Totally agree with your insight.
  • mikementh
    Great Twins Coverage
    This is a must for any die hard Twins fans. Although they can be a little hot takeish from time to time the insight is great the length is just right and they have a great connection to their listeners
  • Greg9292
    Great show great analysis
    This is a great twins podcast that is unbiased and true. I would highly recommend it for any Minnesota Twins fan.
  • Strap Season
    The Best
    My favorite podcast out there. For a Twins fan, it’s simply the best. Phil and Derek share tons of knowledge, opinions and everything else in-between on baseball and our favorite ballclub. You can tell that they kind of root for the Twins to be good, but they still are objective and realistic. I also like the length of the podcast, as it’s concise and efficient unlike some other Twins’ podcasts out there. Touch ‘em all, fellas!
  • GopherNate
    Best Twins podcast
    #1 in analysis, humor, analogies, and listenibility when it comes to the Minnesota Twins. Love the show every week!

    No joke, I am a Twins fan because of Rick Reed.
  • ChipM468
    Great content
    I have learned a ton listening to these two baseball nerds. Great stuff.
  • swilcox101
    One of my 2 favorite Twins podcasts
    Like old #11, center fielder Ted Uhlaender, the Touch Em All podcast contains much more than at first meets the eye. Derek and Phil even occasionally explain the analytics they often feature. There is of course a non-zero chance that you won’t enjoy the conversation, but if you want to smile while listening to Twins talk, it’s happening!
