For the last time during the regular season, David and Dan recap a Minnesota Twins series, and it's another good one for the Twins, who take two of three from the playoff-contending Texas Rangers at Target Field. David and Dan were conflicted, though, because the result of the series meant the Houston Astros won the AL West and got a spot in the postseason. Dan recalls an episode of the show six years ago to the day...
Out on the west coast, the Minnesota Twins take two of three from the San Francisco Giants, and David and Dan are excited about what it means for the team's future. David is ready to start calling Walker Jenkins "Captain America." Dan is ready to anoint Taj Bradley as an ace. Both are ever so hopeful that baseball will indeed happen in 2027. Dan asks David which seven players he would give long-term contracts to (an...
With the focus turned toward next year in so many ways, David and Dan were pleased overall with much of what they saw in this Minnesota Twins series split with the (Los Angeles) Angels in Anaheim. David is trying to tamp down his optimism about 2027, given what he has seen from players like Walker Jenkins and Emmanuel Rodriguez. He's not sure, though, how exactly they will end up in the same lineup as Byron Buxton. ...
Hoges joins Dan to discuss the Twins' slow burn toward the end of the season, which included a win-one-in-three series against the New York Yankees at Target Field. Hoges sneaks in plenty of pro-Packers jabs, even though the Packers lost to the Vikings last weekend. Dan tries to keep the show focused on the Twins, who played a mostly listless Game 1 and Game 2 before striking back in Game 3 against the evil empire o...
The Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. The guys are disappointed in the Twins showing, but they couldn't hide their glee at the Vikings victory over the Packers. Dan is wondering if he should be nervous about Joe Ryan's rocky return from injury, but David tries his best to calm his fears. David is wondering if Derek Shelton second guessed his decision to use Gomez in a non-...
Dan and Hoges are hanging onto the smallest bit of hope now after the Twins lost two of three in Detroit to the Tigers. Hoges, filling in for David, still needs to see the Minnesota Twins lose to the Cleveland Guardians to truly let go of any playoff hopes, even though his heart gave up after Game 1 of this series. Dan is already looking toward the offseason, but he's wondering whether Walker Jenkins is going to pro...
It might be the end ... but maybe it's not the end. It's been hard to tell just when, exactly, the Minnesota Twins season is or will be over from a playoff hopes standpoint. Surely, though, losing two out of three to the Chicago White Sox did not help their cause. David and Dan discuss how much hope they should have left and when we should be turning focus to how what remains of this season could affect the 2027 sea...
There is less than a month of the regular season remaining and the Minnesota Twins continue to tread water along the edge of the wild card following a series win over the Detroit Tigers. Both David and Dan lament the Game 3 loss and all the chances the Twins had to win it before the Tigers did. David is happy to see Derek Shelton doing everything he can to win games; Dan likes what he sees when Kody Clemens hits a h...
The Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Chicago White at Target Field in Minneapolis. "The Chaos" Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the boys try and keep their spirits high feeling that the postseason chances are slipping away from the Twins. Hoges is pumped about Walker Jenkins MLB debut, and David relishes Luke Keaschall's stellar series performance. David gives his plug for the Minnesota State Fair, whi...
Much to the disappointment of David and Dan, and most certainly the Minnesota Twins as well, the Twins lose two of three in Sacramento to the Athletics, the team with the worst record in the American League. And to make it worse, Byron Buxton has aggravated his hip injury. David analyzes that play and worries that Luke Keaschall may not be up to the task of playing center field. Dan is curious if Derek Shelton has a...
The back-and-forth nature of the Minnesota Twins' relationship with the National League continued this weekend as the Twins lost all three games they played in San Diego to the surging Padres. David got the result he expected, though he and Dan hoped for better in Game 2. Dan has questions for Derek Shelton about his pitching choices in Game 1, but David defends the manager's work in Game 2. David has yet to hear a ...
In one of the bigger surprises of a surprising season, the Minnesota Twins didn't just beat the Atlanta Braves in a series -- they swept them at Target Field. David, fresh off attending two of the games, is full of praise for manager Derek Shelton, for DH Josh Bell and for many more members of a team that is now alone in the third AL wild card position. Dan is still hung up on the absence of Walker Jenkins and the c...
After looking as if they might salvage a victory in this three-game series, the Minnesota Twins get swept by the Philadelphia Phillies: one game in Iowa and two more at Target Field. David, who was in Iowa for its state fair, sees the Minnesota State Fair as far better than what Iowa offered. Dan is convinced that he must make a trip to the Field of Dreams at some point, even if the Twins aren't playing there. Both ...
Playing at home for the first time in August, the Minnesota Twins took two of three games against the Baltimore Orioles, a fellow AL Wild Card contender. David mounts a defense of Alan Roden that frankly confuses Dan, who is ready to send Roden back to Triple-A to clear a roster spot for Byron Buxton. They are equally mixed on what to do with Kaelen Culpepper while being impressed with the play lately from Josh Bell...
After the Minnesota Twins took the first game in this three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers, David and Dan found themselves wanting another victory. But they and the Twins settle for just one in this border battle against the National League's best team. David shares his experiences from watching the Savannah Bananas at Target Field with his family, and he works through the ups and downs of Royce Lewis' perfo...
It wasn't the outcome that might have been expected after the way the Minnesota Twins handled the MLB trade deadline, but the Twins do come away with one victory in Kansas City, and they still managed to keep pace in the AL Central. David and Dan discuss the close competition for playoff spots in the American League and how they think the Twins will figure in that as they head into a difficult stretch of opponents. ...
The Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Seattle Mariners, both of them in walk-off fashion, ending a series that felt eerily like the Twins' last trip to Seattle -- and in a way, much like an inversion of their most recent series against the Kansas City Royals. Hoges fills in for the traveling David again to discuss the series with Dan, who was able to attend all three games in Seattle. Dan pins a lot of blame ...
Sandwiched around one of their most disappointing games of the season were two of the Minnesota Twins' most exciting ones, with walk-off hits from Royce Lewis and Kody Clemens giving them a series victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and raves about the walk-offs as well as the Twins' bullpen, which made both the victories possible. Dan stands pat with his feelings...
The Minnesota Twins took two of three from the visiting Athletics and gained a little ground on their AL Central Division rivals as the race tightens one week ahead of the trade deadline. David grills Dan for his opinion about which players should be traded before then; Dan is wondering how the Twins find a way to get Walker Jenkins onto this roster. David praises the pitching staff's performance but questions Derek...
The Minnesota Twins split a four game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the boys have mixed feelings about the Twins performance on the road trip. The guys question a lot of Derek Shelton's decisions, and they have nothing but questions about this roster heading into the trade deadline. Hoges is upset with ESPN's Power Rankings, and wants David ...
