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 Pohlads had a love for baseball in their heart. The guys discuss the various realignment proposals that have recently circulated, and they look around at a violent (baseball-related) act in the minor leagues. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
