Send us a textThe Pohlad family have announced their intention to sell the Minnesota Twins, the team has a new streaming deal in place for 2025, and the front office makes some coaching changes to the Twins staff. With so much happening in Twins Territory the boys couldn't stay away. David, Dan, and Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson discuss all of the big news coming from Target Field. David wants an owner who's willing to bankrupt themselves to win a World Series, while Dan and Hoges take a more reaso...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins were swept by the Baltimore Orioles at Target Field, and were officially eliminated from the playoffs. David and Dan recap the miserable series and dive into all the breaking news regarding Rocco Baldelli retaining his position as manager, and Derek Falvey also staying on board in the front office. The boys discuss the Twins removing a fan from the stadium who held up signs criticizing ownership, and talk through some of the quotes from Correa and others abou...
Send us a textIt's another disappointing series loss from the Minnesota Twins, who dropped two of three at home to the 100-loss Miami Marlins. David and Dan mourn the nearly certain end of any playoff hopes this team has, now that its path to the postseason is as narrow as it gets. David praises the play of Carlos Correa, and Dan hypes the Byron Buxton train (or is it a truck?), but they have plenty of questions for the rest of the roster after such a crucial series went awry. Still, they str...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and tries his best to bring David back from the brink of leaving baseball for cricket. The boys discuss the dreadful performance of the Twins offense in the entirety of the series, and the surprising performance of the bullpen in game 1. David is upset that Rocco isn't upset enough with the way the team is performing, and Hoges thinks Falvey and Levine don't de...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins' descent reached another bottom this week when they fell into a tie with the Detroit Tigers for the final wild card spot in the American League. This time the Twins lost three of four to the rival Cleveland Guardians, whom David is still certain aren't actually very good despite their success against the Twins. So, with nine games remaining, the Twins need to at least remain tied with the Tigers to make the playoffs, unless the Royals, who are still within bo...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Target Field. Correa, Buxton, and Lewis were all on the field together for the first time since July 2nd, but the Twins couldn't manage a victory to celebrate. David wants to know if Correa is anywhere near 100% healthy, while Dan wants to know when the front office decided that 2025 was a more realistic year for the Twins to make a run in the postseason. David is furious at Rocco Baldelli and Jorge Alcala for co...
Send us a textA healthy David returns to discuss the Minnesota Twins' much-needed series victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels, and he has plenty to say. What was Rocco Baldelli doing with the bullpen in Game 3? What got into Kyle Farmer? These are questions David and Dan explore as they sigh a little relief at the Twins' encouraging performance in this series, from which they emerge still as a playoff team. Dan asks what the team can expect from Zebby Matthews the rest of the way, whi...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins lose another series, this one a sweep at the hands of the rival Kansas City Royals, and now the panic has set in. Dan covers the series solo as David recovers from illness and Hoges returns from an unknown adventure, and he tries to keep an even keel about this reeling team. He tries to understand what Rocco Baldelli was thinking in Game 2 with his pitching management. He looks at what might be at the root of Royce Lewis' struggles. And he makes a few outland...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins go to Tampa and leave with a split against the Rays and maintain their lead in the wild-card standings, which has David and Dan looking ahead a bit at the playoffs. With that comes many questions: Will Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa be back? Would the Twins rather play the Astros or the Yankees? But more currently, David and Dan agree that the Twins didn't look great against the Rays defensively, though they disagree over the performance of Louie Varland in G...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins finally end their series-losing drought by taking two out of three against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field. It takes a big Royce Lewis home run to do it, and David and Dan are so glad to see No. 23 step back up in a big spot in a big way. David desperately wants to know why Rocco Baldelli left his usual place in the dugout, while Dan is curious about how the Twins might approach a best-of-three playoff series in regards to the starting pitchers...
Send us a textYet again the Minnesota Twins lose a series, this one a sweep at Target Field by the Atlanta Braves. The Twins are now solidly in third place in the AL Central and in third place in the AL Wild Card, with teams steadily gaining on them during this recent streak of eight losses in 10 games. David's optimism is at a season-low, and he has many critiques for Rocco Baldelli and Tommy Watkins. Dan is impressed with David Festa but little else. Both are still thinking this is a playof...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the St. Louis Cardinals at Target Field. Eddie Julien finds himself in the guys' crosshairs as his error in game three likely cost the team the win as well as the series. The boys are full of praise for Pablo Lopez and play some Monday morning quarterback regarding Rocco's substitutions in game 3. Dan is concerned about the troubling injury updates for Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa, and David is curious how worried he should about the team mak...
Send us a textOn the heels of a frustrating loss a couple days earlier, the Minnesota Twins throw away Game 2 of a series with the San Diego Padres and end up winning just one of three where David and Dan are quite sure the Twins could have left with another victory. They place the blame pretty squarely at the feet of manager Rocco Baldelli, whose bullpen management was cautious at best during the middle game. David, though, has heaps of praise for the turnaround of Christian Vazquez, and Dan...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins take 3 of 4 from the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Andew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and has a lot of questions about the state of the pitching staff, specifically, who will start Game 1 of the Twins postseason? The guys express their frustration with Rocco's bullpen management in game 4 and his willingness to leave Jorge Alcala to die on the mound. David wants to know where Carlos Santana ranks defensively at 1st base in Twins history, and Hoges t...
Send us a textBy dominating the Kansas City pitching staff (at least for two games), the Minnesota Twins take two of three from the rival Royals in a rare late-season meaningful series between the two AL Central clubs. David and Dan recap the solid pitching performances, which includes the MLB debut of Zebby Matthews. Dan heaps praise on the young starter (and the farm system that developed him), while David reserves his adoration for the improved play of Max Kepler, who had a fine series in ...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins split a four-game series with the Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. Despite fantastic starting pitching the Twins offense left much to be desired in games 3 and 4, only managing to score a combined 4 runs. The Twins retired the "W" of the Washington Senators in celebration of their 1924 World Series, and Dan can't resist the op-pun-tunities. The boys praise Rocco for his lineup positioning as well as his must-win bullpen usage in game 4. David wants to kno...
Send us a textBack together, David and Dan mull their disappointment, as the Minnesota Twins lose two of three to the Chicago Cubs. David was in attendance for the lone victory and shares his fond memories and positive experiences from Wrigley Field. Dan is convinced that Rocco Baldelli was content with just one victory and set his eyes on the next series -- at home against the first-place Cleveland Guardians -- as he basically handed the keys to bench coach Jayce Tingler and said "see you in...
Send us a textTogether once more, Dan and Hoges recap a series sweep for the Minnesota Twins, this time against the Chicago White Sox, which was really the only acceptable outcome against Major League Baseball's worst team. They heap praise on the play of Royce Lewis and Byron Buxton while also highlighting the significance of Jose Miranda (and many others) to the offensive prowess of this team. Hoges asks about whether the expectations for this team are the same as they were four months ago,...
Send us a textSandwiched around a trade deadline during which they did very little, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the New York Mets, closing out a road trip with a 3-3 record. Filling in for David, Hoges argues that the Pohlads deserve pretty much all of the blame for the Twins not making a move at the deadline and that they deserve the criticism that has come their way. Dan agrees and wonders whether it really will sour the fanbase to the point of apathy, considering that at the e...
Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan who is once again globe trotting and David brings along some receipts to which Hoges has no answer. The boys discuss the great outings of Pablo Lopez and Bailey Ober, as well as their disappointment in Rocco's definition of a high leverage situation. Hoges' disappointment continues as Rocco refuses to stop using Manny Margot to pinch hit despite his .000 average whe...
