Gleeman and The Geek

In a special release of a Patreon-only episode, Dick Bremer joins Aaron and John to discuss his 40-year career as the voice of the Minnesota Twins.

Aaron and John talk about the up-and-down path the Twins have taken to an expected destination, Connor Prielipp and Kendry Rojas debuting, Mick Abel's elbow injury, Royce Lewis' return, and how to address the glaring bullpen and defensive weaknesses.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' winning three straight series vs. projected playoff teams, the lineup hammering big-name starting pitchers, the emergence of Taj Bradley and Mick Abel atop the rotation, and how the bullpen could be transformed soon.

Aaron and John talk about what the Twins' surprising four-game sweep of the Tigers means and doesn't mean, Taj Bradley and Mick Abel taking steps forward, Brooks Lee coming through off the bench, and Ryan Jeffers' mastery of ABS challenges.

Aaron and John talk about the lowlights and highlights from the Twins' first two series, look ahead to the opening homestand, delve into the early impressions of ABS challenges, and hope for better defense and baserunning.

Aaron and John dig into the latest spring training cuts, unpack what they signal, and lay out their expectations for how the Twins' 2026 season could unfold.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' roster battles two weeks before Opening Day, why Bailey Ober's velocity is worrisome, Zebby Matthews vs. Mick Abel, lefties vs. righties, and Kyler Murray's baseball career.   For more Twins talk all season long, join Patreon.com/Gleeman and get 20% off an annual membership with the code TWINS2026 through first pitch of Opening Day.
