The Minnesota Twins sweep the Texas Rangers at Globe Life in Arlington, Texas. Dan is traveling the world so David is joined by Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson. The boys are in high spirits after a surprising series sweep of the Rangers. David is still trying to figure out how good Kody Clemens is, and Hoges is mad at the Twins for in a way, causing the injury to Kaelen Culpepper preventing his callup to the big league club...
In a series full of swings, the Minnesota Twins come away with a victory over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, taking two of three at Target Field. For the first time in a while, Byron Buxton had another star shining with him in Royce Lewis. David and Dan debate whether Royce is actually back or whether this is a blip. Dan is coming around to the ABS challenge system; David is wondering how long Justin Lawrence can...
Still short on starting pitching and still trying to put together a competitive bullpen, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Tigers in Detroit, falling eight games under .500. That has Dan and Hoges thinking about what might happen in late July and whether Joe Ryan is winding down his time with the Twins. Dan is confused about why Mike Paredes doesn't get the official title as "spot starter," while Hoges ha...
The Minnesota Twins welcomed Royce Lewis back to the Major League lineup and still lose three of four at home to the Kansas City Royals, who gained two games on the Twins in the AL Central standings. Dan remains optimistic that the team is going to be in the hunt in September. David isn't so sure after this latest home stand. For the first time this season, David and Dan both have some in-game critiques for manager ...
While playing with a depleted starting rotation, the Minnesota Twins came home and won two of three against the Chicago White Sox, staying afloat in the middle of the AL Central Division and just a couple games back in the Wild Card. The bullpen continues to be in flux -- Kody Funderburk returned to St. Paul for some reason yet again -- but the Twins continue to find ways to mind the gaps. David wants to see the Twi...
A road trip that started with a sweep ends with a sweep, as the Minnesota Twins lose all three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates. David and Dan discuss the road back to .500, which looks like a difficult one considering all the pitching injuries and the strain on the depth of the starting rotation. David wants to know how the Twins are addressing all of the Pirates' stolen bases, while Dan wants to see more prospects ...
The Minnesota Twins drop 3 of 4 to the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and the boys talk about the rough series for the Twins after just sweeping the Boston Red Sox. Hoges thinks the Twins aren't being fair to SWR, and David wants to know when it's time to recall Royce Lewis. Hoges is optimistic about the Twins chances to return .500, while David is still skeptical....
The Minnesota Twins capped their most exciting series of the season with one last victory on Sunday to give them a sweep over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. David is still giddy having nearly fist pumped through his ceiling at the end of Game 3. Dan is a bit more measured -- after all, it's only the end of May. But the Twins are indeed sitting in playoff position, an unlikely spot to say the least. David has que...
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the visiting Correa-less Houston Astros. The Twins lean on great starting pitching and do just enough offensively to take games 1 and 3. The boys discuss the starting pitching depth that continues to surprise as Zebby Matthews turns in another great outing. Hoges wants to know why Derek Shelton hasn't made more of an impact on the team compared with years previous, and David is c...
Despite getting some good pitching from the starters and the bullpen, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three at home to the border rival Milwaukee Brewers at Target Field. David and Dan both are struggling to understand the play of once-great Royce Lewis, but they appreciate the plays made by others, such as Connor Prielipp and Ryan Jeffers. Dan is curious if the Twins might be more willing to cut ties with one-year ...
For the second series in the row, the Minnesota Twins take two of three, this time against the visiting Miami Marlins at Target Field. Sandwiched around another poor start from SWR were two excellent starts (and wins) by Bailey Ober and Zebby Matthews, each of whom draw praise from Dan and David. David chronicles the letdown of an evening it was for Minnesota sports fans on Wednesday, but he's in complete support of...
In a season when it doesn't seem as likely to matter, the Minnesota Twins accomplished something rare this weekend in taking two of three games in Cleveland against the Guardians. Hoges joins Dan to discuss the series, which featured three close games and the Twins bullpen holding its own against the Guardians. Dan doesn't like the call to send down Kody Funderburk, and Hoges brainstorms some solutions for helping M...
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 Royce Lew...
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 given a ...
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 fire A...
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 could be the a...
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 ...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 their newfou...
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...
