Episodes
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Target Field. The boys talk through the series and as expected much of the talk focuses on Twins All-Stars Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan. The guys lament not being at Target field for Buxton's historic cycle, and they both criticize Willi Castro for making Friday's game closer than it ought to have been. David wants to know if Joe Ryan can say tha...
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Chicago Cubs at Target Field. Dan joins David in person in his Minneapolis studio and the boys discuss their days at the ballpark for the Cubs series. Dan feels like it's time for Rocco to let SWR see a lineup a third time through, and David has decided the Twins should keep Harrison Bader for 2026. David thinks MLB players should wear cameras so fans could watch at-bats f...
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field in Minneapolis. Dan has an interesting dream about Joe Mauer, and David tries his best to interpret it. Byron Buxton is living his dream as he'll be playing in Atlanta as an All-Star. Dan appreciates Rocco's versatility in his use of pinch hitters and runners throughout the series, while David is furious Rocco didn't let Louis Varland p...
The Minnesota Twins manage just one victory in three games in Miami, much to the consternation of David and Dan, who are frustrated by the inconsistency of this offense -- and are also resigned to the fact that this team as constructed just isn't a playoff-ready team. That said, David is pleased with Rocco Baldelli's management of David Festa but is still ready to jettison many players on expiring contracts....
David and Dan are somewhat surprised to say that the Minnesota Twins took a game from the first-place Detroit Tigers, who looked every bit the part in this three-game series at Comerica Park. David is happy to see that the Twins took the first game and looked so good in doing so. Dan has a plan that would ensure Byron Buxton gets his rightful start in the All-Star Game. Both of them are underwhelmed by the Twins'...
The Minnesota Twins lose two and win two against the visiting Seattle Mariners, giving David and Dan some hope that this year's team, now halfway through the season, isn't without hope. They critique the performances by all four starting pitchers and question the choices of manager Rocco Baldelli more than the decisions by Mariners skipper Dan Wilson. Both of them look toward the trade deadline and find litt...
At home against the rival Brewers, the Minnesota Twins drop all three games over a weekend series at Target Field, continuing a tailspin that looks a whole lot like the one the team endured at the end of last season. David laments just how often we've watched Jonah Bride pitch, while Dan offers a theory as to why Jake Bauers pitched as poorly as he did for the Brewers in Game 1. Dan also has a two-faced reading o...
The Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark. David adds to his case that Willi Castro errors are always mental, never physical, while Dan is upset at the MLB's rules about official games. David is curious if Bailey Ober's face on the mound is different than the face he uses when his children want his attention, and Dan wants to know if Rocco is up to the challenge to man...
On Fathers' Day, David and Dan discuss the disappointing three-game series for the Minnesota Twins in Houston, where the Astros completed a sweep that so easily could have been a series win for the Twins. They process the injuries to Royce Lewis and Byron Buxton, lamenting the absences as part of the wasted chance here that the Twins had to build back some momentum. They also have words for the people who designe...
For the fourth time in their last five, the Minnesota Twins lose a series, this time to the visiting Texas Rangers. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and helps Dan make sense of an up-and-down series that included a wonderful Game 2 victory and then two ugly blowout losses. Hoges heaps the praise on a "mature" Byron Buxton but wonders about the longevity of this battered starting rotation....
The Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field. Dan Thompson leads the charge on this episode as David has lost his voice. David tries his best to communicate using sounders as much as possible. Dan has a surprise pick for his Beast, and David is annoyed that the Twins managed to win game 3 of the series. David offers his medical estimation after seeing Royce Lewis slow on the dugout stairs, ...
The Minnesota Twins travel to Sacramento and have little trouble scoring runs with their full lineup back together, taking three of four from the Athletics, who are mired in a deep slump after a strong start. David and Dan discuss the role that dirt played in the series as well as the outspoken manner of Joe Ryan before jumping into the big question: How will the Twins fare without ace pitcher Pablo Lopez? Dan is pret...
With Dan and Andrew in attendance, the Minnesota Twins take the first but then lose the next two games against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Dan talks with David about the experience of being there for such an exciting series, which from a neutral fan perspective would surely have been an excellent one to watch. They discuss the Twins' three ninth-inning comebacks, as well as the extra-inning flop in ...
The Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner Field. The Twins lose their first series since May 1st, and the guys discuss the lack of offensive production being the reason why the team dropped this series. Dan wants to know how many jersey changes Pablo Lopez did during his start, and also wants the Twins to add a Designated Hitter for Keirsey Jr. David wants to know if the offense will picku...
The Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals played three games that came down to the final inning, with the Twins taking the first two and the Royals taking the last. The heroes for the Twins included a more likely candidate in Ty France, and one that was less so (but perhaps shouldn't be so unlikely) in Kody Clemens. David and Dan discuss those heroics as well as the fine management of Rocco Baldelli, whose chess...
Despite all the rain, the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians managed to get a couple games in at Target Field this series, splitting the pair. And that seemed just fine, considering how battered the Twins' lineup is now. David and Dan discuss the impact weather had on this series while seriously questioning how Rocco Baldelli handled it, while they also saw the ending to Game 1 as the most Minnesota ending a...
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan, and worries that filling in for Dan is what caused the winning streak to end. The boys talk through all of the latest injury news and the transactions processed by the team. David wants to know what the expectation should be for the upcoming American League Central series against the...
The Minnesota Twins sweep the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game set at Camden Yards. The Twins extend their winning streak to 11-straight games, the most done so far in the MLB this year. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson, and the boys are giddy due to the Twins current streak. The guys discuss the unbelievable wins the Twins pulled out against all odds with several guys struggling with injur...
The Minnesota Twins win their 8th straight game sweeping the three-game set against the San Francisco Giants at Target Field. The guys break down the unexpected deep start from Chris Paddack, and dive further into the Louis Varland "Hulk" hype video. David is still upset every time he has to figure out how to watch the Twins, and Dan further refines his grading rubric. David wants to know if the recent surge...
The Minnesota Twins stayed hot at home, sweeping the Baltimore Orioles in convincing fashion across three games at Target Field. David and Dan discuss the many thrilling moments, which included a pair of three-run homeruns by Byron Buxton, a big blast from Carlos Correa, a significant workload from the bullpen and a memorable hit from Brooks Lee, to name just a few. Despite the long homer, David isn't so sure Cor...
