Sandwiched 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 end of the day, this is still a playoff-caliber team. They recap the many breakdowns in Games 1 and 2 of the series while taking solace in the fact that they won Game 3 to salvage the series. They look around the league at a heartwarming story involving Jackson Holliday, and they look forward to the next series against the worst team in baseball, the Chicago White Sox. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
