Moore and I talked about several other Wolves topics on Wednesday’s podcast, including the keys to Summer League, where the Wolves stand at point guard and what the outlook is for next season. A lot of those discussions pivot around one player: point guard Rob Dillingham, who has a very important offseason. Also on Wednesday’s show, I paid homage to the U.S. Open Cup. Minnesota United advanced to the semifinals of the sprawling soccer tournament with a 3-1 win over the Chicago Fire on Tuesday. The Open Cup, which has been around since 1914 and this year featured 96 teams from all levels of soccer in the United States, is as pure a form of democracy in sports as you will find. The Chicago Fire, by the way, are helmed by former U.S. men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter, in case you were wondering where he went. The Twins clobbered the Cubs 8-1 on Tuesday behind a huge eighth inning. Harrison Bader hit another home run, giving him these absurd totals over his last four games: four home runs and seven RBI. Simeon Woods Richardson quietly has been very good lately. In four of his last five starts, he’s gone exactly five innings and allowed two hits or fewer while giving up just one total run in those games, including five shutout innings Tuesday. It was just batting practice, but it was meaningful: Zebby Matthews threw to Luke Keaschall on Tuesday. The not-far-off return of both injured young players would be a boost for the Twins. It’s hard to imagine a tougher way to lose than a walk-off inside-the-park home run. That’s what happened to the Phillies on Tuesday against the Giants.
