Episodes
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Texas Rangers in Arlington. The boys are highly encouraged by the great starting pitching shown throughout the series, and David is starting to believe this team could find success if Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez are on the team in 2026. Hoges wants to know if he'll be considered a fair "weathered" fan if he cancels his season tickets, and David wants to know if the ...
The Minnesota Twins drop 3 of 4 to the Cleveland Guardians in their last home series at Target Field for 2025. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the boys start out with some NFL talk so David can tease Hoges about the Packers loss. Hoges wants to know if Rocco's job is still safe, while David wonders if he really wants to be here anyway at this point. Both David and Hoges make their final dec...
Once again, the Minnesota Twins take the first game of a series and lose the next two, this time against the New York Yankees. Hoges joins Dan to discuss the set from Target Field, and Hoges expresses lots of feelings about his trip to Game 2. He also gripes about the frustrating way the Twins have been handling season ticket holders the last month or so as he grapples with whether he should re-up for next season. Dan...
With David on a scheduled off day and Hoges dealing with technical issues, Dan tries his best to speak out of both sides of his mouth as he dissects the Minnesota Twins' three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Target Field. Dan wonders whether Kody Clemens might be the answer at first base in 2026 and looks also at the play from the other Kody/Cody in this series. He's curious about Carson McCu...
The Minnesota Twins helped to make Monday night wonderful for Minnesota sports fans, but after that they lost badly and then lost frustratingly to the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim to drop another series. David is pleased with the performance in Game 1 and wonders what was inside Rocco Baldelli's mind in Game 2. Dan asks what the Twins are supposed to do next year with Eddie Julien, and both of the guys have a lo...
The Minnesota Twins take one of three from the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The boys focus on the positives as Pablo Lopez returns from the IL, and Bailey Ober has a decent outing. Dan believes that Rocco has regained control of the team and has their respect, and David thinks that it's due to the removal of Carlos Correa from the clubhouse. The guys discuss the Phillies' Harrison Bader's con...
This was certainly a low for the season and possibly for a span much longer than that, as the Minnesota Twins are swept by the Chicago White Sox in a four-game series in Minnesota for the first time ever. David and Dan identify a few nice performances but mostly see the bad bullpen and mediocre starting pitching, which cost the Twins against what is supposedly the worst team in the American League. David wonders what ...
The Minnesota Twins hosted the San Diego Padres for a three-game set at Target Field in Minneapolis. The guys come away with a different perspective on Taj Bradley, and appreciate Rocco's shift in management style since the trade deadline. David is still furious due to games being broadcast by 3rd party providers, and Dan has a relaxing trip for work to a very hot San Antonio. Thanks for listening, and as always,...
The Minnesota Twins travel across the border into Canada and come away with one game in a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, one of the top teams in the American League. The results leave David wanting more, especially because the Blue Jays seemed willing to give away Game 3. Dan is a bit more optimistic and saw plenty of good signs from the team's younger players, albeit there were also plenty of m...
During a weekend series in Chicago, the Minnesota Twins made the White Sox look like a good baseball team, something that says a lot about the current state of both franchises. Dan is happy to see the returns of some of those midseason trades, though admittedly he'd like to see more out of Mick Abel and Taj Bradley. David has lots to say about the play and words of Royce Lewis, who might want to look more closely...
At home against the homeless Athletics, the Minnesota Twins lose all three contests at Target Field to continue a stretch of bad baseball played by what is now a very young team. David sees some hope in the play of Brooks Lee but is disappointed at other young players' performances. Dan is pleased to see Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober giving the team their all. David muses about a favorite song and wishes that the Pohl...
The Minnesota Twins drop 3 of 4 to the Detroit Tigers at Target Field. The boys try to stay positive knowing the rest of this season is a lost cause. Dan is still trying to figure who is a starting pitcher on this baseball team, and David is furious at Rocco's decisions to close out game 1. Further, David is convinced Rocco needs coaching help to get better at being angry. David is trying to find a reason to keep...
The Minnesota Twins went to Yankee Stadium and did something entirely expected in losing a series, two games to one. What was not so expected (but maybe should have been) was the news that the Pohlad family is no longer intending to sell the team. David and Dan react to that news as they also look at what the trade deadline deals have done to the Twins decidedly younger roster. David weighs whether he should give up h...
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the visiting Kansas City Royals at Target Field. The new-look Twins feature a youthful energy that has David and Dan excited even though the games at this point are unlikely to lead to a postseason berth. The guys are both falling hard for Luke Keaschall and believe he could be a centerpiece of this team moving forward. David loves Rocco's new piggie-back pitcher management, a...
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. David returns from his board game vacation and finally gets the opportunity to give his thoughts about the trade deadline. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the guys discuss Luke Keaschall and try to determine if he's really this good, or if it's just a fluky small sample size. David goes into detail regarding the...
In the aftermath of a crazy trade deadline, Dan and Hoges discuss the Minnesota Twins' series loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Hoges dwells on the positive of winning a one-run game in Cleveland for the first time in forever, while Dan is still feeling betrayed by Carlos Correa. They are both interested in seeing which young players take advantage of extra playing time, especially in the bullpen, which had itself...
At the end of one of the most momentous days in Minnesota Twins history, Dan and Hoges break down the trade deadline deals and what they mean for the team going forward. They disagree on the nature of Carlos Correa's departure, but they are equally baffled on the dealing of Louis Varland. Dan can see a hopeful path forward, whereas Hoges is just sad. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
The Gran Group with Edina R...It's happened: The Minnesota Twins have become sellers at the MLB trade deadline. Dan and Hoges discuss the move to trade Jhoan Duran to the Philadelphia Phillies, as well as the team's dispiriting series loss to the Boston Red Sox. Dan is upset over Carlos Correa's alleged willingness to go back to the Astros, while Hoges is upset at how Rocco Baldelli is managing his team as it shifts toward the last ...
The Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Washington Nationals at Target Field. David and Dan react to the breaking news that Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak have been traded to the Detroit Tigers for a catching prospect prior to jumping into the recap. The guys discuss Rocco's handling of Travis Adams, and David wants to know if Rocco is surprised that he is still managing the Twins. David wants to know what the floor and cei...
The Minnesota Twins visited Chavez Ravine and the Los Angeles Dodgers and nearly came away with a remarkable series victory, only to see it snatched away by a series of unfortunate decisions late in Game 3. Hoges fills in for David to discuss the series with Dan, who was in attendance at the last two games in L.A. They discuss the ups and downs of Rocco Baldelli's management as well as their shared frustration ov...
