Always Thinking Two (White Sox Series Recap, 7/8-7/10)
Description
Yet again, the Minnesota Twins win a series, the sixth in a row. This one comes in Chicago over the rival White Sox, whose inadequacy at baseball has David all worked up that the Twins didn't sweep. Dan tries to bring a reasoned perspective, pointing out that this is what manager Rocco Baldelli goes for: Two out of three. The boys discuss the resurgent play of Matt Wallner, the timely hits of Brooks Lee and Carlos Correa, and the ongoing excellence of Byron Buxton, who seems always able to take an extra base. David is critical of Twins ownership for not investing more before the season, while Dan defends the perspective that this just might have been the right approach after all. They also look around the league and then make their picks for the last series before the All-Star Break this weekend in San Francisco. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
