StribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryTwins can't win; Chris Finch isn't watching finals; Minnesota United midseason reportIntroduction: Host Michael Rand starts with another close loss for the Twins, this time 6-5 at the Reds. They have lost their last seven one-run games in falling to .500, and many culprits have surfaced. Plus the Lynx defeated the Aces but will have to watch Napheesa Collier's back injury. 8:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand for a look at Minnesota United at roughly the halfway point of the MLS season. Where do the Loons stand? 28:00: Chris Finch isn't watching the NBA Finals, and Florida is once again the state of hockey.2025-06-1832 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryWolves in five? Buxton for MVP? Messi here? Vikings in Ireland and London in 2025?Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves' 117-93 win over Golden State in Game 2 on Thursday. They could afford to cruise a little in that win because of Steph Curry's absence. They will need more gas in Games 3 and 4 in Golden State if they want to lock down a series in which they are the decided favorites. Plus the Twins won their fifth in a row, with Byron Buxton continuing to play at an elite level. 9:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to talk Minnesota United soccer. The Loons are slated to play Inter Miami on Saturday at...2025-05-0928 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryTwins stumbling toward Total System Failure; Loons, Wild and women's hoopsHost Michael Rand starts with the 0-4 Twins, who have been outscored 28-6 to start the season. Manager Rocco Baldelli was preaching patience after the latest drubbing, a 9-0 loss Monday to the White Sox, but this season is already at an urgent point before April began.8:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to break down the good start by Minnesota United, to talk about the U.S. Men's National Team and to discuss the similarities and differences between the MLS TV model and what MLB might eventually want to do.36:00: Kevin O'Connell's first comments on Aaron...2025-04-0141 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryFour Nations fandom + Wolves opportunity + MLB TV trouble + Minnesota United season previewIntroduction: On a wide-ranging edition of the podcast, host Michael Rand starts with Canada's 3-2 overtime victory over Team USA in the Four Nations championship game. Plus a look at the Timberwolves' relatively soft schedule in March and the breakup between MLB and ESPN.10:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to preview the Minnesota United season, which begins Saturday at LAFC. Is this the year the Loons become legitimate contenders?25:00: A listener has a perspective on Ben Johnson.2025-02-2131 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryJust trying to have a good time at the Wild game; Wolves win; KOC wins; Minnesota United previewIntroduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild game he attended with friends on Thursday. Some of them were Carolina Hurricanes fans, and Rand explains why attending games with fans of the opposing team has its benefits and drawbacks. The Wild earned a 2-1 win while the Wolves came back to defeat the Rockets, important home victories for both teams.11:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to break down the imminent start of the MLS season. Where does Minnesota United fit in? And what does it all have to do with the band Van Halen?28:00: Kevin O'Connell...2025-02-0733 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryParker Fox and Kirill Kaprizov appreciation; Gophers and Loons in focus; Will Vikings get a coach fired?Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Gophers men's basketball team's win over Cleveland State, which was keyed by super-veteran Parker Fox and his 18 points. Originally recruited during the Obama administration (really), Fox could be a key player for Minnesota this season. And Kirill Kaprizov had two more goals for the Wild in another good win.8:00: Randy Johnson joins Rand to set up the Gophers vs. Penn State game this weekend and to catch us up to speed on the rest of the Big Ten college footballs scene.18:00: It's a big playoff game Sunday for...2024-11-2033 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryA concerning Vikings film review plus optimism for Minnesota United in the playoffsIntroduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a big Tuesday in Minnesota sports. The Wild and veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury get a chance to play Pittsburgh, while the Timberwolves face the Mavericks for the first time since the Western Conference Finals.5:00: Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand to break down some concerning film. What's up with Jordan Addison? How can the Vikings replace Christian Darrisaw? And what happened to the pass rush against the Rams?29:00: Jon Marthaler helps set up Minnesota United's best-of-three MLS playoff series. It could very well come down to penalty kicks against...2024-10-2944 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryDid Twins fire the wrong guy? + Huge Lynx win, too-soon Vikings graphic and a trio of guestsIntroduction: It must be October because there is a lot to talk about right now. The biggest local live story was the Lynx, and host Michael Rand started with their 77-70 must-have victory over Connecticut in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals on Tuesday. The series goes back to Connecticut tied 1-1 and feels destined to go the full five games. Rand also took note of a report that the Twins fired hitting coach David Popkins. Was the hitting coach really to blame for this year’s collapse?9:00: Gophers football beat writer Randy Johnson joins the show to ta...2024-10-0241 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryKevin O'Connell won't stand for Brian Flores slander; Jon Marthaler on Minnesota United transfer additionsIntroduction: Host Michael Rand starts with comments made by Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa about his former head coach and current Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Tagovailoa was critical of Flores coaching style, particularly in contrast to current coach Mike McDaniel, and said of Flores, "You have a terrible person telling you things that you don't want to hear or probably shouldn't be hearing, you're going to start believing that about yourself." Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell was asked about it on Monday, and Flores figures to be asked about it Tuesday.Rand also dissects the Twins' 5-3...2024-08-2037 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryWanting more from the Vikings; Statement win for Twins; Jon Marthaler on Minnesota UnitedIntroduction: Host Michael Rand starts with comments from Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on the eve of training camp. Addressing the media in the wake of the death of Khyree Jackson and Jordan Addison's arrest, both key Vikings decisionmakers exhibited empathy. But in the case of Addison, are they being tough enough? Rand doesn't think so. Speaking of accountability, Aaron Rodgers doesn't seem to want any. And the Twins finally got a win against a good team.14:00: Soccer writer Jon Marthaler joins Rand to talk about Minnesota United's streak-busting victory and key additions...2024-07-2337 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryWilli Castro appreciation, U.S. Soccer speculation and Minnesota United evaluationIntroduction: Host Michael Rand begins with an appreciation segment on Willi Castro, the super utility man for the Twins who was named to the All-Star team Thursday as an injury replacement. He's played quite capably at five different positions and in all 93 games this year for the Twins, who quite honestly would not be where they are (53-40) without him.6:00: Soccer writer Jon Marthaler joins Rand for a look at Minnesota United, which has struggled with depth in losing six games in a row. With the MLS transfer window coming up next week and players returning from...2024-07-1237 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryDissecting the end of the Wolves' run (and what comes next); Jon Marthaler on Reynoso's departureIntroduction: Host Michael Rand goes deep breaking down Minnesota's humbling Game 5 loss to Dallas at Target Center, which ended the Western Conference finals. The Wolves came up short in their bid to win a championship but took a major step forward this year. How will they navigate the offseason and what lessons did they learn in a joyous season this year?18:00: Jon Marthaler joins the show for some Minnesota United talk, including the big news that Emanuel Reynoso has been transferred away from the club. Can the Loons continue to thrive in his absence?35:00: What...2024-05-3139 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryCould you have any more fun watching the Timberwolves? + Jon Marthaler on Minnesota UnitedIntroduction: Host Michael Rand goes deep on Monday's dominant 106-80 Timberwolves victory in Denver that gave Minnesota a commanding 2-0 lead coming back to Target Center for Friday's Game 3. The defense was suffocating even without Rudy Gobert, while the Nuggets lost their composure and seem discombobulated. This is an unfamiliar feeling for Minnesota sports fans, and the joy is contagious.14:00: Jon Marthaler joins the show to break down Minnesota United's strong start. Whether it's tactical changes, strong defense or good vibes, something feels different about the Loons. And they're doing it without Emanuel Reynoso, who is out...2024-05-0740 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryVikings looking for leverage; Emanuel Reynoso missing again; Jim Souhan from The MastersIntroduction: Host Michael Rand looks at Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's comments two weeks before the NFL draft and finds someone who is looking to create leverage by trying to convince the league that Minnesota isn't locked in on one quarterback. How much that is true -- and how well he can convince teams -- remains to be seen.6:00: Star Tribune columnist Jim Souhan checks in from Augusta where he is covering The Masters.13:00: Soccer writer Jon Marthaler joins Rand for the latest on Minnesota United. The Loons are off to a good start this season...2024-04-1235 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryDebating Karl-Anthony Towns and the Wolves' ceiling + So much can change in a month of sportsIntroduction: A recent posting by occasional podcast guest Jon Marthaler about the status of Minnesota pro sports teams got host Michael Rand thinking about how much can change in just a month of sports.6:00: Rand is joined by Star Tribune writer and editor Jeff Day for a discussion of the Timberwolves and Karl-Anthony Towns. They carry a 10-3 record into a big game Wednesday against the 76ers. Just how good can these Wolves be? How good do Towns and the Wolves need to be in order to keep this roster together long-term? And is Towns unfairly criticized...2023-11-2238 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryVikings running back depth, U.S. women's soccer and a Matt Dumba appreciationIntroduction: Host Michael Rand notes the Twins' upswing, which included a rout of the Tigers on Monday that boosted their division lead to 5.5 games. Ryan Jeffers was key with a three-run home run, and catching depth -- much like goalie depth in the NHL -- appears to be a team strength.6:00: The Vikings released their first depth chart Monday, and even though head coach Kevin O'Connell cautioned us not to read too much into things the battle at backup running back is intriguing.10:00: Local soccer writer Jon Marthaler joins Rand for a discussion of the...2023-08-0831 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryThe plan and the man: What's wrong with Byron Buxton? + Women's World Cup previewIntroduction: Byron Buxton is 0-for-17 with 10 strikeouts since the All-Star break and is now hitting just .196 with an OPS below .700. If the plan at the start of the year was to keep Buxton healthy by primarily using him as a DH, the Twins are seeing very little benefit from what the plan has become: A floundering Buxton as the full-time DH. Is Buxton miserable as the DH? Is he too hurt to play at all? Whatever the case, he needs to be out of the lineup, host Michael Rand argues.9:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to preview the...2023-07-1832 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryInteresting Kevin Garnett thoughts; Why can't Minnesota United score? Endless Vikings QB talkIntroduction: Host Michael Rand was struck recently by a podcast featuring Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce talking about the Timberwolves. In particular, KG's assessment of the franchise -- everything from big-picture Minneapolis issues to Anthony Edwards to small details -- was a fresh perspective worth our attention.10:00: Local soccer writer and podcaster Jon Marthaler joined the show to talk about Minnesota United and their ongoing inability to score. Their identity is clearly built around defense, but until they resolve the Emanuel Reynoso situation the offense is stuck in the mud.27:00: If you're tired of Vikings...2023-05-0531 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryJustin Jefferson for MVP? + What to expect from the U.S. in the World CupStar Tribune Vikings beat writer Ben Goessling joins host Michael Rand for a look at the Vikings heading into Sunday's big game against Dallas. Minnesota is a betting underdog despite its 8-1 record, so in a sense this is another prove-it game. The Vikings' lead in the NFC North grew again Thursday when Green Bay lost at home to Tennessee.17:00: Local soccer guru Jon Marthaler joins Rand to preview the World Cup in Qatar, which begins this weekend. The U.S. squad, after missing the tournament entirely in 2018, has a reasonable chance to get out of group...2022-11-1834 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryAn impressive Wolves win; Wild goalie Cam Talbot joins; Could it be MN United soccer talk?Introduction: A big question heading into this Timberwolves season was whether a team that has floundered on defense for several seasons could finally find its way and at least be average on that side of the ball. Their 124-106 victory in Wednesday's opener over Houston was a positive indicator, albeit against a really bad team. The Wolves had 18 steals and 13 blocked shots in the win, which helped fuel an offensive surge from Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell.8:00: Wild goalie Cam Talbot joins the podcast and gives us an inside glimpse into the Wild's 6-5 comeback...2021-10-2130 minStribSports Daily DeliveryStribSports Daily DeliveryJosh Donaldson trade? Kevin Stefanski's return; NFL picks; MN United at critical junctureIntroduction: A tweet from a reader helped host Michael Rand tie all his thoughts together like the rug in The Big Lebowski. The question was about just what went wrong with the Twins' evaluation of pitching in 2021. While the answer is unknown, the fact that Twins evaluators are probably stumped as well leads to an offseason path: If pitching is going to improve, money needs to be spent. If money is going to be spent, the Twins need to find a way to trade Josh Donaldson. It's just that simple, even if trading an expensive mid-30s third baseman...2021-10-0131 minQuantum AI InstituteQuantum AI InstituteQuantum AI Series: Dr. Michael Marthaler, CEO of HQS Quantum Simulations - Exclusive Interview by Maëva GhondaThe Quantum AI Series features exclusive interviews of the global innovators shaping the future of quantum computing.
