After a promising Game 1, the Minnesota Twins lose a series at Nationals Park, making David's May 10 check-in date a doomed one: The Twins will not be at .500 when that day comes and goes. David offers his thoughts on that and asks for something of an amendment to it. Dan isn't so sure. Dan asks why it is that we were so wrong about Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner, while David raises the question about why...
The Minnesota Twins host the Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field in Minneapolis. The boys are riding high following big playoff victories for the Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves, but the Twins have them far less excited. Dan has given up on Royce Lewis, while David wonders if Derek Shelton regrets taking the Twins job this offseason. The guys discuss how Shelton should build the lineup card, and worry about Byron Buxt...
With the Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves locked in thrilling playoff series, the Minnesota Twins are doing their best to stay out of the limelight, losing two of three at home to the Seattle Mariners. David is up in arms over the poor hitting with runners in scoring position. Dan laments the signings in the bullpen that haven't worked out. They keep talking about Brooks Lee and are eager to see Matt Wallner giv...
The Minnesota Twins are swept in Tampa Bay by the Rays at Tropicana Field. Dan feels it's time for the team to start looking to the future by bringing up the rising stars at AAA. David is okay if the Twins keep losing as long as the Wild and Wolves keep winning, but feels Derek Shelton needs to do better at saving the small amount of decent bullpen arms he has. Dan wants an apology from David, and the Red Sox f...
The Minnesota Twins had surged over .500 to the top of the American League, but after another series loss -- this one in New York City, to the Mets -- David and Dan aren't so sure what this team is capable of anymore. David can't even blame manager Derek Shelton for the bullpen, because who is he supposed to go to? Dan is wondering whether any of the younger players who made promising debuts this week coul...
The Minnesota Twins are swept by the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Target Field. David and Dan discuss the problems with this roster that finally caught up to the Twins in this series. David struggles to remember who is on the roster and how to pronounce their names, while Dan wonders if we'll see new names added to this roster in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
The Gran ...The Minnesota Twins continue their winning ways taking 2 of 3 from the Boston Red Sox at Target Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David in studio and is just as surprised as David regarding the Twins early season success. David wants to know if Derek Shelton just prefers to leave things alone, and Hoges wants to know which part of the Twins roster is soon to turn back into a pumpkin. The boys discuss th...
The Minnesota Twins have climbed to the top of not just the divisional standings but that of the entire American League after taking two of three in Toronto against the Blue Jays. David and Dan are trying to enjoy the sound performances from Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley and most of the lineup, though a few spots there -- and the whole of the bullpen -- are suspect. David praises manager Derek Shelton for how he has handled...
This year's Minnesota Twins already accomplished something last year's team never did: They swept a four-game series. David and Dan recap all the many celebratory moments, including big hits from Brooks Lee, Josh Bell and Royce Lewis, leaving both David and Dan to wonder: Is this team going to be competitive this season? Dan asks whether the Twins should be aggressive in offering contracts to seven of the ...
On a cold day at Target Field, the Minnesota Twins won their home opener, and then promptly went cold at the plate, losing two of three against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. David is enamored of the start by Simeon Woods-Richardson and impressed by the play of Tristan Gray. But he wonders just how long Twins fans will need to wait to see Kaelen Culpepper playing shortstop for the Twins. Dan laments the missed chances...
Mother Nature clearly conspired with Major League Baseball to tilt the scales against the Minnesota Twins in this series, as they lose two of three to the Kansas City Royals at the occasionally wet and foggy Kaufman Stadium. David sees the glimmer that was Taj Bradley's start, while Dan wonders whether there might be true depth to the lineup with the hitting performances of Josh Bell and Matt Wallner in this se...
The Minnesota Twins open their season on the road against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The boys discuss Derek Shelton's first series as manager, and their surprise at the competence shown by the bullpen. David wants to know if Shelton is going to get the team back on track when it comes to fundamentals, and Dan is both impressed and unimpressed by Royce Lewis. Thanks for listening, and as always, go T...
The Minnesota Twins season is here, and so are David, Dan and Hoges with their predictions and analysis. Hoges has little optimism left and expects that the Twins will trade their best players by mid summer. David thinks the best hope the Twins have is in their long-haired second baseman. Dan has hope that the Twins' current plan at shortstop is going to work out better than its plan did last year. As the guys ...
With just a few days to go before the season opener, David and Dan discuss the end of the World Baseball Classic, the 2026 rule changes and the final shuffling of the Minnesota Twins roster. Dan thinks the WBC should be moved to an extended All-Star Break; David thinks the rule changes mostly make sense. But the Twins bench and bullpen are still considerable question marks for a team that David and Dan are both hopi...
The World Baseball Classic is heading into the quarterfinals after a round of pool play that was memorable for many reasons, including the "misspeak" by Team USA manager Mark DeRosa. David and Dan do the math themselves and discuss whether they are rooting for the juggernaut or the underdog the rest of the way. Dan has a complaint about his new hat; David is focused more on the glut of lefthanded players o...
The Minnesota Twins continue their Grapefruit League games and continue to whittle down the roster. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in as Dan Thompson is busy covering his EWU Basketball team. The guys discuss the recent MLB news including new signings and suspensions, and give their takes on the Athletics' fan survey questions. The boys try to sort out which outfielders should make the big league roste...
On the heels of the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic is nearly here, and David and Dan are excited about the chance to continue rooting for the United States, especially with Byron Buxton on the roster. They look around the league to see how the automated balls and strikes system is going while diving into the rosters of the WBC. They also look at the Minnesota Twins' roster, which is taking shape, even if ...
The Minnesota Twins open up full squad workouts to kick off 2026 spring training in Fort Meyers, Florida.

The Gran Group with Edina Rea...For as little as the Minnesota Twins roster has meaningfully changed this offseason, its front office and coaching staff has undergone substantial change. The latest move was the "mutual" departure of Derek Falvey, who had been with the organization for a decade, making key baseball decisions. Dan and Hoges discuss what can be made of the change and what it says about the frayed short-term future of the Tw...
As Major League Baseball's stars sign big contracts, and as the other 29 teams make efforts to improve their roster heading into the 2026 season, the Minnesota Twins have filled their offseason with signings that equate to visits to the Dollar Store. David and Dan recap what's gone on around the league over the last month and the parade of utility players who have signed with the Twins. The pieces, David a...
