Podcast appearances and mentions of joe ryan

The NFL season is almost here, and we're stacking the league's elite talent while diving into one of our favorite roster debates. Tass reveals his Top-10 wide receivers entering the season, Josh ranks his Top-10 running backs, and then we put the defending champion Eagles' skill-position group up against 10 of the NFL's best offenses to see who we'd rather build around. Then it's all baseball as trade deadline season heats up. We play Way or No Way on the biggest rumors surrounding Tarik Skubal, Joe Ryan, Mason Miller, Francisco Lindor, Mike Trout, Bo Bichette, and more. Plus, we rank the biggest X-factors in both leagues, debate the five best landing spots for Rafael Devers, match the top trade candidates with their ideal destinations, and finish with 10 blockbuster names every MLB front office should at least consider making available.

Henry Lake recaps a rough outing for Joe Ryan and the Twins, as they got clobbered in Cleveland. All on the WCCO Morning News. Photo-Jason Miller/Getty Images

The Voice of The Twins, Kris Atteberry had a hard time describing the destruction of Joe Cool and the Twins on Monday night. Kris joined Vineeta on our TWINS 1st Pitch Segment on The WCCO Morning News!

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji goes solo on this edition of Cash That Ticket, holding down the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed on Monday, July 20, 2026, while his usual co-host handles a personal matter, and he wastes no time diving into a packed MLB second half slate just a day after Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title, with college football, the NFL, and the EPL all now less than seven weeks away. Munaf opens with a quick look back at Sunday's doubleheader split between the Yankees and Dodgers before turning to the night's marquee matchups, starting with Joe Ryan and the Twins traveling into Cleveland to face Tanner Bibee and the Guardians, a matchup he frames as a likely low scoring affair and ultimately builds into his top play of the day, the first five innings staying under four total runs. From there he shifts to Yankee Stadium, where Braxton Ashcraft and the Pittsburgh Pirates take on Ryan Weathers and a Yankees offense that has struggled to generate runs without Aaron Judge in the lineup, leading Munaf to back the Pirates on the money line. He then breaks down a series opener in Philadelphia between Emmet Sheehan and the Dodgers against a red hot Christopher Sanchez, who Munaf argues belongs in the National League Cy Young conversation given his dominant numbers at home, structuring his play around the Phillies on the run line rather than the straight money line. The show spends real time on the Boston Red Sox, winners of thirteen straight games, as they host the streaking Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park in a matchup with direct implications for the tightening American League wild card race, with Shane Baz opposing Payton Tolle and Munaf ultimately favoring the Red Sox across the first five innings rather than laying the bigger number on the full game given recent bullpen concerns. Munaf also previews a high total matchup at Wrigley Field between Jack Flaherty and the Tigers against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs, where strong winds blowing out are expected to boost scoring, along with a brief mention of the Miami Marlins as a value side against Ronel Blanco and the Astros. Before wrapping the show, Munaf reminds listeners about pregame.com's promo code STAR25, good for twenty five percent off any purchase on the site, including a discounted second half MLB all access package that covers every pick through the World Series, and shares that he is running a strong profit margin in MLB betting since he began tracking results back in mid-May. The episode closes with a recap of the top play of the day, the Twins and Guardians staying under four runs through the first five innings behind Joe Ryan and Tanner Bibee, and a preview of tomorrow's show, when Munaf's usual co-host is expected to return and the two plan to pick back up their ongoing coverage of MLB alongside their season long series ranking NFL win totals as football season approaches.

They also talk about the extensions for JJ Wetherholt and Chase Burns along with some other news and notes from around the league.

Plenty to get into with Steve Thomson with sports this morning - we have two new Timberwolves stars introduced to the masses yesterday over at Target Center, Joe Ryan was able to get in an inning of work yesterday in Philadelphia for the All-Star Game.

The rare quiet stretch of the sports calendar leaves plenty of room for Yankees fans to dream big. With injuries creating uncertainty around the lineup, callers propose bold moves that could reshape the team for the postseason. The conversation covers a massive Mike Trout gamble, possible deals for Joe Ryan and Luis Arraez, and whether moving Jazz Chisholm would be a major mistake. The crew also spotlights fast rising Yankees relief prospect Ben Grable, debates what makes a player the greatest to wear a jersey number, and shares a few unforgettable caller moments.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the top stories in Minnesota sports. The Twins are 48-49 and tied for the last playoff spot in the American League at the break. Will the Twins add players? Might they trade Joe Ryan? Regardless of what happens, this Twins team is more enjoyable than we thought they would be. Plus thoughts on the Lynx, Wolves, Wild and more.

Los Angeles Angels at Minnesota Twins by Tony T. Pitching Matchup Analysis Ryan Johnson enters with a moderate strikeout rate, manageable but meaningful walk exposure, a fly-ball-leaning batted-ball mix. His 6.99 ERA and 1.55 WHIP summarize the results, while the 2.5 home runs allowed per nine innings figure identifies how much damage has come through the air. Joe Ryan counters with a high-end strikeout profile, strong walk suppression, a fly-ball-leaning batted-ball mix. His 2.85 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 0.9 HR/9 provide the baseline for comparing traffic, missing bats and extra-base-hit risk.

BaseballBiz On Deck: Rays Up EditionMark Corbett and Mat GermainThe Rays Are RollingTampa Bay leads the AL East by four games over New York, sits 17+ games above .500, and has essentially locked up a playoff spot. Their Low-A and High-A affiliates have already clinched. The system ranks top 10 in baseball. Four players are headed to the All-Star Game: Brian Baker, Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz, and Drew Rasmussen.Game Night: Rays 3, Yankees 0Recorded live during a dominant Wednesday night win. Shane McClanahan: 6.1 IP, 4 H, 0 BB, 5 K, 0 ER. Yandy Diaz: 3-for-3, including an inside pitch he turned on that had no business being a hit. Brian Baker closed it with trademark intensity. Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the process.Players to WatchTaylor Walls has quietly become a legitimate two-way contributor after hip surgery. Feduccia is delivering from the nine hole. Richie Palacios is on a tear. Johnny DeLuca is back. The bottom of the lineup is producing when it counts.Trade Deadline TargetsThree names Mat would pursue before the deadline:Zach Neto (Angels) as a shortstop upgrade with power and speed. Cost: Carson Williams and pieces.Hunter Goodman (Rockies) as a power catcher whose away numbers are actually better than his Coors numbers. Could be the playoff bat they lack.Freddy Peralta (Mets) as a reclamation starter who needs a change of scenery and would benefit from Kyle Snyder's coaching.Drew Anderson (Tigers) as a multi-inning reliever with swing-and-miss stuff, built for October.Playoff-Ready Depth at AAAThe Rays have assembled a rare Triple-A roster of MLB-tested veterans: Gavin Lux, Carson Williams, Jake Fraley, Jake Cave, Jacob Melton, Nick Madrigal, Homer Bush Jr., Oliver Dunn, and Austin Slater. It functions like an expansion team safety net heading into September.MLB Draft: Second Overall PickTop candidates: Roch Cholowsky (SS, UCLA), Grady Emerson (SS, high school), Vahn Lackey (C, Georgia Tech). If the White Sox take Emerson first, Cholowsky may fall to Tampa. A college-ready shortstop who could slot next to Caminero for a decade is hard to pass on.Evan Longoria WeekendUpper deck tickets available on StubHub from $30-44. Lower bowl sections reaching $900. Mat and Mark urge fans to show up. Longoria was crushed when he was dealt, gave everything to this city, and deserves a full house.The Only Missing PieceA stadium deal. Everything else is in place: the manager locked for five years, the GM, the pitching coach, money to spend at the deadline, a loaded system, and a team winning right now. Get it done.Also discussed: Dylan Cease's near no-hitter for Toronto, ex-Rays All-Stars (Arozarena, Wacha, Christopher Sanchez, Riley O'Brien, Joe Ryan), attending minor league and college games, and the Durham Bulls leading their division.

Reusse acknowledges his surprise at what the Twins are doing this season -- in part because the American Leauge is so bad -- and says that keeping Joe Ryan is the only way to avoid fans getting angry again. Patrick also has some thoughts on the state of U.S. soccer and replay.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Twins at Yankees by Tony T. Minnesota's lineup leans heavily right-handed against Weathers, while the Yankees stack left-handed bats around Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, Ryan McMahon and Austin Wells. This matchup comes down to how efficiently the starters can control traffic. Joe Ryan must manage the first two trips through the order without creating extra baserunners, while Ryan Weathers needs to keep the ball in the yard and avoid giving the opposing lineup quick-count leverage.

Alanna Rizzo, Katie Woo, and Clint Pasillas recap the Los Angeles Dodgers series with the A's and the extended road trip for LA. While the club lost the final game of the trip -- a bullpen punt game -- the big story is Mookie Betts being scratched from the starting lineup with an injury. The Dodgers downplayed the issue, but we've heard that story before. What are the concern levels with Mookie? And can this turn into a Will Smith type of absence? (8:56) The Dodgers have a commanding lead in the NL West. Is there any worry about complacency? (16:11) With the calendar turning to July, it's time for a Q&A catch-up in today's edition of Bleedin' Blue. In the chat, the hosts address questions about potential trade targets including Joe Ryan of the Twins and Sonny Gray of the Red Sox. Plus thoughts on the eventual returns of Edwin Diaz and Evan Phillips to the bullpen (35:46) Finally, we look ahead to another series with the Padres who are down and maybe out of it.

After Tuesday night's result, Henry looks into the fine line between wins and losses. He does that in his review of the Twins' 6-4 defeat in Houston.

Find out what the manager had to say about the All Star candidate along with Another ABS call that unfortunately doomed the Twins in a 6-4 loss to Houston. Shelton joined Vineeta live from Houston on The WCCO Morning News.

A staggering wave of superstar injuries has completely derailed fantasy baseball rosters, leaving managers scrambling for answers on the waiver wire. Corey Pieper breaks down a massive slate of breaking news, spectacular rookie pitching performances, costly duds, and the daily FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury bug bit hard on Thursday night as fantasy royalty hit the shelf. Bobby Witt Jr. was forced to exit early with a right knee injury and is undergoing further medical testing, while Trea Turner left his ballgame after being struck by a pitch in the calf. Mike Trout lands on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. was knocked out early following a painful shot to the groin. Meanwhile, Adley Rutschman struggled through a hitless, two-strikeout performance after taking a throw directly to the head. On the mound, the Milwaukee Brewers suffer a crushing blow as breakout right-hander Quinn Priester is officially ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season to undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery. On the bright side, Wenceel Perez is managing a facial injury, Jose Soriano is expected to take the bump today after skipping his Thursday start with chest discomfort, and superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor is finally set to launch his minor league rehab assignment this Friday. Despite the medical chaos, a brilliant group of young arms took center stage. Gage Jump turned in a masterclass performance, firing seven brilliant innings of one-hit ball with seven strikeouts to completely shut down the Angels. Parker Messick flashed his best velocity of the season, racking up nine strikeouts over six innings of two-run ball against Milwaukee. Bryan Woo was absolutely flawless, spinning seven scoreless frames with nine strikeouts, matching a spectacular nine-strikeout duel against Shane Baz. Sean Burke excelled as a bulk follower behind opener Bryan Hudson, striking out eight over 7.1 brilliant innings against Ryan Weathers. Joe Ryan cruised through five scoreless frames, and Trey Yesavage battled veteran Sonny Gray in a gritty seven-inning showdown. Offensively, Juan Soto blasted two solo home runs, Wyatt Langford and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both cleared the fence, and nearly the entire Kansas City starting lineup crossed the plate for a run, with only Nick Loftin missing out on the scoring barrage. On the negative side of the ledger, young arms hit a wall as Jack Leiter was shelled for six earned runs in just four innings, while Matthew Liberatore was lit up for seven runs in a brief 1.2-inning nightmare. High-profile bats completely frozen at the plate include Braden Montgomery falling below the .200 mark after a multi-strikeout collar, Jasson Dominguez and Brandon Marsh both punching out repeatedly, and Cal Raleigh enduring an ugly four-strikeout night to drop his average to .164, alongside quiet nights from Bo Bichette, Gunnar Henderson, Joc Pederson, and Brice Turang. Finally, we map out the weekend pitching landscape in our Pitching Planner, highlighting the upcoming returns of Mick Abel and Troy Melton, Jared Jones traveling into the thin air of Colorado, and a look at Shane Drohan.

Send us Fan MailStill short on starting pitching and still trying to put together a competitive bullpen, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Tigers in Detroit, falling eight games under .500. That has Dan and Hoges thinking about what might happen in late July and whether Joe Ryan is winding down his time with the Twins. Dan is confused about why Mike Paredes doesn't get the official title as "spot starter," while Hoges has diagnosed Royce Lewis' inconsistent play over the last three years. They discuss what goes into choosing a position player to pitch, and they look around the league at a feel-good story and a weird odyssey on the base paths.

It's the Joe Ryan experience! Analysis from Henry Lake on The WCCO Morning News

See what Tim Laudner had to say about Alex Jackson and Zebby Matthews outings on Thursday, plus a look ahead to the Cardinals series on the WCCO Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. It is June 1, 2026, and Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back at the start of a new month with the full MLB Monday slate on the table and a perfect 2-0 best bet record from Thursday to carry into the week. The guys open with a quick but meaningful conversation about handicapping discipline, with Munaf explaining why he took Sunday off from posting plays rather than force something that was not there, and Dave backing the decision by making the case that this kind of restraint is exactly what winning long-term looks like and what clients are actually paying for when they subscribe. From there the full card gets the full treatment. Detroit heads to Tampa Bay with Ty Madden activated off the injured list to start or handle a bulk role against Griffin Jax, who has reinvented himself as a legitimate starter for the Rays with a 1.42 ERA in his recent stretch, and both hosts weigh a fade of the IL return against the case for the Tigers plus one and a half on the run line in a game the total projects for around eight. The Marlins take Sandy Alcántara to Washington, where Cade Cavalli gets the ball for the Nationals and both bullpens are identified as over-pushing threats in a park that has hit the over at nearly 68 percent in home games this season, leading Dave to his best bet of the episode, the Marlins team total over three and a half. In Milwaukee, Landen Roupp faces an opener-led Brewers lineup with Shane Drohan starting and Chad Patrick handling the bulk of the workload, and both hosts land on the under and the Giants run line in a low-total game where paying a big price on a three-inning pitcher does not make sense. David Sandlin faces the same Minnesota Twins club he dominated in his MLB debut five days earlier, retiring 18 straight after a leadoff homer, while Joe Ryan brings a solid recent stretch but a 4.42 home ERA into a spot where the White Sox first-five plus a half run gets the call. Jacob deGrom and Michael McGreevy headline the pitcher's duel of the night in St. Louis, where deGrom's 8.44 career ERA at Busch Stadium and McGreevy's 1.93 home ERA combine with both teams' shaky bullpens to make Munaf's official best bet an easy call: first-five-innings under four at minus-115, take the two starters and get out before the relief corps get involved. Kyle Freeland's ugly season numbers run into Freeland's strong career record against the Angels, while the market has already knocked the price down nearly 20 cents from its opening on José Soriano, with Munaf leaning Rockies plus one and a half and Dave going Angels team total over rather than lay the big number. Chase Burns has been one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2026, and his Cy Young-caliber season continues against Kansas City, where Luinder Avila is being asked to handle a starting role out of the bullpen and the sharp money that moved the price nearly 20 cents makes the Royals plus one and a half a reasonable market-following play. Eduardo Rodríguez is 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA but owns a troubling split against the Dodgers specifically at home in Arizona, where Emmet Sheehan brings the better underlying metrics despite a higher ERA, and both hosts elect patience, watching the early innings for a live entry rather than committing pre-game. The night closes in Seattle with Emerson Hancock against an Austin Warren opener for the Mets, where uncertainty about the Mets bullpen depth earns the game Munaf's official pass of the day and Dave identifies the first-five under as the cleanest available angle. Dave closes with a market call: home favorites went 11-1 on Sunday, and that kind of lopsided result historically corrects itself, making Monday a dog-day card where the plus-money side of the ledger deserves attention.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returns with the May 26 edition of What I Bet on the Straight Outta Vegas AM pregame.com podcast feed, covering a critical NHL elimination game and a full 13-game MLB slate in one of the busiest betting days of the early summer. On the ice, Griffin explains why he is not buying the Colorado Avalanche as road favorites against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. The Avs fell 5-3 in Game 3 and now trail 3-0, with Nathan MacKinnon's knee injury after blocking a shot adding serious uncertainty to Colorado's roster situation. Cale Makar returned from his own upper-body absence but Griffin says he never looked fully himself, and the backhand goal from Tomas Hertl that extended Vegas's lead was the moment that defined the game. Golden Knights minus 102 is his play. On the baseball side, Griffin works through every matchup on the board, starting with the Washington Nationals and Cade Cavalli against the Cleveland Guardians and Joey Cantillo, leaning Cleveland at minus 130. He covers the Tampa Bay Rays and Griffin Jax against a bullpen game, with former Rays righty Shane Baz, now an Oriole, having pitched well against Tampa recently, and finds value in the under on total first five at plus 100. He leans to Keider Montero and the under in Detroit against the Angels and Jack Kochanowicz, backs Boston and Ranger Suarez plus 100 over Spencer Strider and the Braves because Strider still needs to prove his return from elbow surgery is complete, monitors Sandy Alcantara and Miami against the Blue Jays and Braydon Fisher in a bullpen game, and sides with the Mets and David Peterson over the Reds and Chase Burns in a battle where plus money is simply too attractive to ignore. Kyle Harrison has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since joining Milwaukee from Boston and Griffin respects him enormously but cannot pay minus 170. He leans under on Cam Schlittler and the Yankees against Kansas City and Bailey Falter after recounting how Lucas Erceg's blown save on a misplaced slider to Anthony Volpe cost him a two-unit win the night before. Joe Ryan and the Twins draw plus money from Sean Burke and the White Sox, making the under on seven and a half the natural lean. The Houston Astros no-hit Texas on Monday and Griffin reads that as a direct statement on how poorly the Rangers have been hitting and how difficult Globe Life Field plays, leaning under against Jack Leiter. Aaron Nola and the Phillies get the nod over Randy Vasquez and the Padres after Vasquez was scratched Monday and slid into Tuesday's spot. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino shape up as a low-scoring Sacramento game, Eduardo Rodriguez and Tyler Mahle figure to keep it quiet at Oracle Park, and there is simply no case for backing Kyle Freeland and the Rockies at plus 206 in Los Angeles against Eric Lauer's Dodger debut. Griffin's Best Bet is the Pittsburgh Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft at minus 125 over the Cubs and Jordan Wicks, who is making his first big-league start of the season after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa following a stint on the IL.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner returns with a loaded May 20 betting card on What I Bet, opening with the Europa League final between SC Freiburg and Aston Villa before moving through the NHL playoffs and a deep Major League Baseball slate. The soccer breakdown focuses on why a neutral site final in Istanbul could play tighter than the market expects, with SC Freiburg carrying underdog value and Aston Villa entering as the more talented favorite. Griffin explains why finals are often less about style and more about survival, clean sheets and avoiding the one mistake that decides a trophy. That points him toward the under two and a quarter, with Freiburg plus three quarters also drawing interest because a low scoring match naturally improves the underdog case. The show then shifts to the NHL, where the Vegas Golden Knights visit the Colorado Avalanche as a sizable road underdog. Colorado is respected as the stronger team, but Griffin sees a path for Vegas if the Golden Knights can slow the game down, defend with discipline and stay out of the penalty box. The market has moved toward the over, but Griffin leans the other way and would be especially interested in an under six and a half if it appears. From there, the episode moves into baseball, where Griffin works through the full MLB board. He leans Phillies behind Aaron Nola against Andrew Abbott and the Reds, understands the Twins price with Joe Ryan against Mike Burrows and a thin Astros lineup, sees runs and possible Rockies underdog value at Coors Field with Jack Leiter facing Kyle Freeland, and likes the Diamondbacks and over angle with Merrill Kelly against Tyler Mahle. He finds the White Sox interesting as a road underdog against the Mariners, especially with Seattle struggling at the plate and Cal Raleigh on the injured list. The most important baseball handicap comes in Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins, where Chris Sale is a large road favorite against Jackson Junk. Griffin does not want to lay the big price with Atlanta, but he respects Sale, gives Junk more credit than the market may and does not trust Miami to produce much offense. That makes under seven and a half the cleanest betting angle and ultimately the official What I Bet best bet. Other MLB thoughts include Washington as a home underdog against the Mets, caution on Toronto against the Yankees because of the Blue Jays bullpen, a Cubs lean against Milwaukee at a cheap price, Boston value with Connelly Early against Michael Wacha and the Royals, St. Louis behind Michael McGreevey against Pittsburgh, an over look in Dodgers vs Padres with Shohei Ohtani involved, and the Angels as an underdog against the Athletics with Aaron Civale facing Jack Kochanowicz. The episode closes with the promo code ERA20 for 20 percent off anything at pregame.com through May 31, then lands on Braves Marlins under seven and a half as the best bet for Wednesday.

The single-elite-pitch era is closing out. Hitters caught up. Flatter swings, simpler load patterns, machine prep against any movement profile, and the discipline to ride out their front side mean a 70-grade four-seamer alone doesn't survive third time through the order anymore. The new edge is repertoire.Trevor and Dan break down why pitching development has shifted toward stacking multiple fastballs at the same velocity. Zach Wheeler throws three. Paul Skenes throws three. Cam Schlittler, Peyton Tolle, Davis Martin, Christopher Sanchez — all riding multi-fastball mixes that defeat the single-pitch sit. The conversation moves through tunneling, weak contact and stolen strikes as the new market inefficiencies, why Stuff+ models miss repertoire interaction, and Corbin Burns as the canonical case study where a "below-average" sinker existed to make a 120-grade cutter play.Chapters00:00 — Open / Mother's Day intro01:53 — The multi-fastball trend: Soriano, Schlittler, Joe Ryan, Peyton Tolle02:22 — The Zach Wheeler model: why hitters caught up, and the Trajekt machine03:58 — Mizorowski as the velocity outlier04:58 — Christopher Sanchez: when even an elite pitch starts getting hunted07:22 — Corbin Burns: cutter as the engine, sinker as the steal12:46 — The two missed market inefficiencies: weak contact and stolen strikes16:48 — Peyton Tolley: adding a C-grade sinker to make a 70-grade four-seamer play21:54 — Davis Martin: 60% fastball, three variations, nothing graded above average, sub-2 ERA23:19 — Joey Volcheck and Georgia: the trend reaching college baseball24:40 — IPitch / Trajekt: how hitter prep changed the math32:17 — Multi-fastball relievers: Vodnik, Mejia, Perkins41:22 — The Stuff+ blind spot: how do you grade repertoire interaction?51:00 — Closing thoughts

Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, "Temptation." In 2023, IRS agent Brendan Banfield told police he'd walked into the bedroom of his Virginia home to find a stranger brutally stabbing his wife, Christine. He said he'd shot the man to try and save Christine but it was too late. She died from her injuries. Investigators didn't buy Brendan's story and discovered he had been having an affair with the family au pair. They determined the double homicide was the result of a diabolical catfishing scheme to lure a stranger named Joe Ryan to the Banfields' home and frame him for Christine's murder. Andrea shares an extra clip from the au pair's testimony where she admits to posting romantic photos and videos with Brendan. Blayne discusses her family's positive experience with the au pair program, and Andrea reveals her stint as a live-in nanny for “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff.
