Twins showdown homestand; get ready for the J.J. McCarthy hype; Remembering Mike Sertich

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings announcing
how they will divide up playing time for their quarterbacks in
Saturday's preseason opener. Sam Darnold will start, but rookie
J.J. McCarthy will get a lot of time on the field as well. It will
be the beginning of a journey, and perhaps the start of the
McCarthy hype in earnest. 9:00: Rand talks to Star Tribune Twins
writer Bobby Nightengale Jr. during a newsy week. Starting pitcher
Joe Ryan is injured, and the Twins will have to lean even more on
their young pitchers in a critical series this weekend against
division-leading Cleveland. Plus the ongoing absence of Carlos
Correa and the hot streak from Matt Wallner. 31:00: Rand has
memories of former Minnesota-Duluth hockey coach Mike Sertich, who
died Thursday at age 77.
