Poni doesn't think Don Kelly showed enough fire last night after the Pirates were blown out at PNC Park, which included a disastrous 7th inning. The Dodgers scored TEN times to blow the game wide open and would win it, 12-3. For 6 innings, it was competitive, in front of a big Tuesday crowd in Pittsburgh. Is Kelly just another version of Derek Shelton or is there something hidden in there? Marcell Ozuna failed another challenge last night and he was thrown out on a play that nearly every other player in baseball history would have run out for a base hit. Does he know what a strike is anymore? And can he actually out-run the entire Fan staff? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Should the Penguins look into the Dylan Larkin availability? TK thinks it's odd that so many players that won gold with Team USA want out of their current situation. Tyler doesn't think it takes much convincing for guys to want to play with Sidney Crosby because at this point, most of the league has watched Sid their entire lives. The guys laughed about Joe Thornton walking around downtown Pittsburgh back when the Penguins and Sharks were facing off in the Stanley Cup Final. TK talked about Jordan Staal having a monster series as the Hurricanes try to win their first cup in 20 years.

Send us Fan MailThe 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 Derek Shelton.

Send us Fan MailWhile 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 Twins rearrange the infield, while Dan is pleased to hear what Derek Shelton said about Royce Lewis. Both David and Dan aren't exactly sure what to make of shortstop Tristan Gray and Ryan Kreidler, though for very different reasons.

Jim and Tyler break down one of the Pirates' most satisfying wins of the season, from Reynolds' huge night at the plate to the bullpen keeping the game alive after Jared Jones' first MLB start in 609 days. They also discuss Jones' return, Konnor Griffin's impact despite the injury concern, Oneil Cruz's big blast, Wilber Dotel's dominant bulk outing, Evan Sisk's continued success, and the Pirates finally winning a game they trailed entering the ninth.

Send us Fan MailThe 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.
