Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins sweep the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game set at Camden Yards. The Twins extend their winning streak to 11-straight games, the most done so far in the MLB this year. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson, and the boys are giddy due to the Twins current streak. The guys discuss the unbelievable wins the Twins pulled out against all odds with several guys struggling with injuries and a overly-taxed bullpen. Hoges offers high praise for Rocco for managing to win these games, and David wants to see the Twins recall Randy Dobnak to fill in as a long reliever. David once again romanticizes a Kody Clemens homerun, while Hoges can't stop talking about Willi Castro's great catch in left. David is curious if this is what we can expect out of Chris Paddack moving forward, while Hoges wants to know how many AL Central teams will make the postseason. The guys discuss the recent Hall of Fame voting rules changes, and make their picks for the upcoming Brewers series.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins win their 8th straight game sweeping the three-game set against the San Francisco Giants at Target Field. The guys break down the unexpected deep start from Chris Paddack, and dive further into the Louis Varland "Hulk" hype video. David is still upset every time he has to figure out how to watch the Twins, and Dan further refines his grading rubric. David wants to know if the recent surge for the team changes what they should do come the trade deadline, and Dan wants to see Carson McCusker at the big league level sooner rather than later. The boys discuss Royce Lewis' first hit of the season, and David toys with the idea of putting Vazquez as his beast.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins stayed hot at home, sweeping the Baltimore Orioles in convincing fashion across three games at Target Field. David and Dan discuss the many thrilling moments, which included a pair of three-run homeruns by Byron Buxton, a big blast from Carlos Correa, a significant workload from the bullpen and a memorable hit from Brooks Lee, to name just a few. Despite the long homer, David isn't so sure Correa is actually healthy and wonders whether he should go to the IL for a short stint. Dan is curious about just how good Jhoan Duran will end up being this season after this excellent opening six weeks. They also wonder: Was Louis Varland's shovel pass to first base just the lesson the Twins pitchers needed? And why is he being compared to The Hulk?

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. The boys are thrilled that the Twins managed to win two games against a good baseball team, and in such dramatic fashion. Dan has high praise for Jhoan Duran while David has some harsh words for Carlos Correa. The guys have nothing but good things to say about Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober, and David wants to know if these guys will be Twins for the long haul. Dan changes his tune on Kody Clemens, and David wants Rocco to tweak the rules for runners on contact plays. The guys discuss the recent Athletic article explaining the changes to the umpire "buffer zone," and finish up by making their picks for the Baltimore Orioles series.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins' latest visit to Cleveland goes about as well as they seem to: not well. The Twins win the first and then lose the next three in close fashion, dropping farther under .500 -- which is all still part of David's grand vision for their return to a winning record by mid-summer. David's optimism, though, is limited after seeing the bats go cold and the pitchers prove unable to get the ball to first base in key moments. Dan is not so sure Ryan Jeffers has truly turned a corner, but he is quite sure that a healthy Willi Castro would make a difference right now, considering Rocco Baldelli's bench options. David thinks the Twins should just bring Royce Lewis back now, even if he's just cheering from the bench until he's fully ready to return.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins complete their first sweep of 2025 taking three straight from the Los Angeles Angels at Target Field. The Twins were flying high with the return of Pablo Lopez to the roster and Royce Lewis starting a rehab assignment at AAA. While spirits were high there was some sadness as the Twins breakout prospect Luke Keaschall suffered a fractured forearm after being HBP in game 1. Dan praises Rocco's bullpen management and wonders if the Twins may try and move a starting pitcher before the trade deadline. David wants to know if Rocco will continue letting lefty batters see lefty pitchers once he has a full bench, and also wants to know what the reasonable expectations should be for Royce upon his return to the roster. The guys finish up discussing a new ump relegation idea, and make their picks for the upcoming 4-game set against the Cleveland Guardians.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins win a series for the third time in eight opportunities, handling the Chicago White Sox in two of three at Target Field. David and Dan are pleased with the series win and some of the positive signs, most notably the play of rookie Luke Keaschall, whose flowing golden locks definitely make him a better player (or at least more fun to watch steal bases). Dan does his best to defend the idea of keeping Rocco Baldelli on as manager for not just this year but for a long time beyond. David has a path for the Twins to get back to .500 by the All-Star Break in July. And they've both got some empathy for Rocco who has turned so often lately to an empty bench.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins are swept in a three game series against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. The boys breakdown all of the missed chances throughout the series, along some questionable decisions from the manager, Rocco Baldelli. The guys discover a potential new rule to present to Rob Manfred, and walk through the numerous roster moves made by the Twins in the last few days. David wonders if it's time to let Rocco go, and Dan wants to know why it's taken Rocco this long to discover that stealing bases is a good strategic option with the increased base sizes and the limit on the number of pickoff attempts.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 against the New York Mets at Target Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in and the boys discuss the listless performance put forth by the Twins in game one, and then turnaround for the team in games 2 and 3. The Twins pitching staff still doesn't know how to throw to 1st base, and David aligns with Rocco in his feelings about Jorge Alcala. Hoges thinks Rocco should have a quicker hook when relievers are struggling, and David is confused why Vazquez is hitting with the bases loaded. David offers a crazy take about Carlos Correa and Hoges is furious with all of the soft tissue injuries plaguing the roster.

Send us a textFor the fourth time this season, the Minnesota Twins lost a series, this time at home to the first-place Detroit Tigers. But they did salvage at least a win, in Game 3, showing that even a fourth-place team still wins once in a while. With David taking a Buxton-like scheduled off-day, Hoges fills in to talk about the team with Dan, and both have lots to say about manager Rocco Baldelli. They question his handling of basically the entire roster, from decisions on pinch-hitting and pinch-running to how long to let starters and relievers stay in the game. In the end, though, they are the least impressed with how little impact it seems (so far) the changes he instituted in spring training have made to a team that resembles the one that ended last season far more than the team that cruised into first place last summer.

Send us a textDespite some good pitching performances, the Minnesota Twins lost another series, this time three games out of four to the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City. David and Dan see plenty of culprits, mostly on the lineup card in the poor performances by Jose Miranda and Byron Buxton (whom both of them hope is able to tend to family matters while he is away). The lack of fundamentals in baserunning and fielding are concerning to David, while Dan thinks that Rocco Baldelli mishandled his trip to talk to home plate umpire Nic Lentz during Game 1 of this series. They discuss whether David Festa or Zebby Matthews will assume a more permanent role in the rotation in Pablo Lopez's absence, and they talk about whose spot on the roster Brooks Lee will take.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins played at Target Field for the first time this season and drop 2 of 3 to the Houston Astros. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David in studio and the boys discuss the heartbreaking fashion in which the Twins lost game 3. David insists that Minnesota sports fans have a very different mindset than other teams' fans, and Hoges is still mad at Rocco for letting Bailey Ober make his first start of the season while clearly not 100%. The guys discuss how much longer Chris Paddack will have a role in this rotation, and find happiness in the little things as Jose Altuve struck out 5-times in the home opener.

Send us a textWhile Game 1 wasn't pretty, the Minnesota Twins did finally get one win and then another one to take two of three against the Chicago White Sox, evening them up with the rest of the AL Central's teams at 2-4. So in that sense, it's a whole new ballgame for the final 156 this Major League Baseball season. David and Dan discuss the lows of Chris Paddack's start and then the highs of the games that followed, which featured improved outputs from Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa. David really likes how Rocco Baldelli is managing leadoff man Matt Wallner, while Dan struggles to justify keeping Paddack on the active roster should the veteran starter struggle again the next time through the rotation.

Send us a textThe 2025 season starts right about where the 2024 Minnesota Twins left off as they lose all three to the Cardinals in St. Louis. David and Dan assess what went wrong (lots) and highlight what went right (Willi Castro and Randy Dobnak). David was happy to see Rocco Baldelli move to steal some bases, while Dan thinks Rocco should have given Bailey Ober an earlier hook in Game 3 -- if he chose to start him at all. Dan also asks what role an under-the-weather Eddy Julien has on this team, and David ponders whether this 0-3 start will get even worse against the Chicago White Sox this week. They also look around the league at the automatic strike zone challenge system data, a highlight for a former Twins player and a big day for the Yankees (new) bats.

Send us a textThe Major League Baseball season is officially here for the Minnesota Twins, and to kick it off David, Dan and Hoges offer their annual predictions for position players and pitchers. While there is some disagreement between them over the particulars, they all expect big things out of Matt Wallner and Carlos Correa. Whether they will be able to lead the team to the playoffs is something they agree on a good deal less. They discuss just how much the team will miss Royce Lewis as he recovers from an injury (ditto for Brooks Lee), and they share their takes on which starting pitcher will be the most (and least) effective this season. They also share their thoughts on the ownership sale that is slowly becoming a saga, and they look at the highs and lows of a schedule that looks easier at the start than it appears to be at the end.

Send us a textThe big news for the Minnesota Twins this week was about Royce Lewis -- and it wasn't a great kind of news. David and Dan discuss the most recent injury suffered by the oft-injured third baseman, looking at the ripple that creates down the roster, possibly leaving room for an unheralded newcomer who can play catcher, first and second. They also walk through what injuries in the bullpen might do to that bunch, while also celebrating that for the first time in a couple of years the rotation looks really solid. David wanders into a discussion about Formula One racing, which makes Dan wonder how often we'll get to see Tommy Watkins on Camera Feed No. 10 at Target Field this season.

The guys discuss the potential of Matt Wallner batting lead off for the Twins, and Wallner's issues last season stemming from putting on too much muscle in the offseason. David wants to know who is going to play 2nd base for this team, and he begs Hoges to tell him there's a possibility that Buxton, Correa, and Lewis will all play in a good amount of games together this year. The boys discuss their level of optimism for the season, and discuss Baldelli's newly expressed love for llamas.

David, Dan and Hoges discuss the latest news about the team, including the disappointing update about the sale of the team that has all three of them brainstorming billionaires. Maybe this is just another sign of the curse over Minnesota sports franchises.

Send us a textSpring training is nearly here, and just in time the Minnesota Twins finally made a trio of Major League signings. David and Dan discuss what the additions of Danny Coulombe, Harrison Bader and Ty France mean for this baseball season and how the Twins have made room for them on the roster. They also look at the new Twins broadcasting plans, which include some sensible rates in what were formerly blackout areas, as well as some new cameras at Target Field. They end by touching on an MLB betting scandal and then some better news from the Twins offseason.

Sam, Tom and Ryan continue to outstay their welcome on the terrace at Winter Park as they wrap up their adventures from America. In part II, we cover some of Florida's private scene after the arctic blast left snow in South Carolina, so we headed to warmer climbs in West Palm Beach to visit Bear Lakes and Pine Tree, as well as our time at TPC Sawgrass and Winter Park. This episode contains a full hit of more contemporary architecture, from Nicklaus designs at Bear lakes, Dick Wilson at Pine Tree, Pete Dye at Sawgrass and the renovation by Keith Rhebb and Riley Johns at Winter Park. Stay tuned for some film content from Sawgrass and Winter Park in the coming weeks! Special thanks to FootJoy, we finished up on well over 150 holes on this trip and the Premiere's never felt like a grind!If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!You can follow us along below @cookiejargolf Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Website

Send us a textEven though the Minnesota Twins have made very few moves this offseason and the movement on an ownership change has quieted of late, there is still plenty of intrigue around the team at the turn of the new year. David, Dan and Hoges revisit a number of topics, including the departure of a number of 2024 Twins players, the players who have signed across the league and the players who remain still on the roster heading into spring training.

Send us a textThe World Series is over, and the 2024 Major League Baseball season is officially behind us. David, Dan and Hoges reflect on the season that was for the Minnesota Twins, who started slow, picked up the winning pace ... and then slowed to a crawl toward the finish line. They recap the Twins-related news of the last month and they also go over the predictions they made back in March at the dawn of what looked like a promising season. Then, with the lens wide enough to examine the whole season, they consider the choices of Rocco Baldelli, the biggest moments of the season, the grade the Twins deserve and then a few of the big questions heading into 2025.

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 reasonable approach. The guys discuss the history of the Pohlad family and the terrible interviews and statements made over the course of the last two seasons leading up to this decision. David can't hide his love for Peter Alonso as he talks about the Mets advancing to the NLCS, while Dan tries his best to keep his love for Aaron Judge in check. The boys finish up by giving their preferred World Series matchups.

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 about the disappointing end to the season. Dan wants to know how the Twins will replace Kepler in right field, while David takes issue with the position held by some that the Twins weren't that good to begin with so ownership not spending money was the right move last offseason and at the trade deadline. The boys finish up looking at the crazy NL Wildcard race and offer a heartfelt thank you to the loyal listeners this season.

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 struggle to see exactly what Rocco Baldelli could have done differently to steer this ship better even a month ago. They have plenty to say about the final game in Oakland for the Athletics franchise, and they look a bit around the league as it heads into the final weekend of the regular season.

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 deserve the free pass that David and Dan offered last episode. The boys give their predictions for the Twins postseason chances and while David is unconvinced, Hoges tries to play both sides of the issue.

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 both teams' reach, continue their own struggles. David and Dan agree that the blame should fall at the feet of ownership and not at those of the manager, Rocco Baldelli, who has done the best with what he's got. They lament the lack of movement at the trade deadline and the injury to Joe Ryan earlier this summer. But David tries to remain positive, because maybe, just maybe, this could still be Minnesota's year.

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 combining forces to lose game 1, and Dan feels that Brooks Lee is getting unwarranted hate online from Twins Twitter. The boys look at the standings and David continues his German travel plans as the Tigers' postseason hopes are still alive.

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, while David wonders whether Byron Buxton's return this weekend could possibly coincide with the return of Carlos Correa. They keep tabs on the rest of the playoff hunt, as well as Shohei's quest for 50/50.

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 outlandish comparisons, because no one is there to criticize him for it.

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 Game 3. David wonders whether Christian Vazquez needs to go back to Grand Slam or Triple Play, while Dan discusses the value of Eddy Julien to this team the rest of the year.

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. They appreciate how Rocco handled the bullpen and Kyle Farmer (with some overlap between the two appreciations), and then they look forward to the four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

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 playoff team, but it is one with serious bullpen issues.

Send us a Text Message.On 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 has a film comparison for seemingly everything David has to say. They discuss the strong performance by Austin Martin, a better showing from Eddy Julien and another monster home run from Matt Wallner. They look around the league at the retirement of a Cincinnati Reds staple and at the resurgence of those darn Houston Astros.

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 right and at the plate. They look at the significance of Byron Buxton's latest ailment, of Kyle Farmer's return and of the role Christian Vazquez has settled into. They look around the league at a resurgent NL West, a new landing place for a former Twins player and a milestone for a Yankees slugger.

Send us a Text Message.The 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 boys praise Rocco for his lineup positioning as well as his must-win bullpen usage in game 4.

Send us a Text Message.Back 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 Minneapolis." David confronts Dan about words he said four years ago, while Dan isn't totally convinced that the Joe Ryan injury is a death knell for this team. They look around the league at the White Sox ending their historic losing streak, and they lament the release of a former and much beloved Twins player.

Send us a Text Message.Together 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, and Dan wonders what the Twins are going to do with a healthy Kyle Farmer. They look around the league at a few rival players who are having excellent seasons, and they consider, during this Olympic season, whether Major League Baseball would allow the pros to compete in 2028.

Send us a Text Message.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.

Send us a Text Message.The 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 when used as a pinch hitter. The guys offer their thoughts on which pieces the Twins ought to be willing to move at the deadline in return for starting pitching, and they both lament ownership's unwillingness to spend money while the team is on the upswing. The boys finish up discussing the trades made prior to the deadline and make their picks for the upcoming Mets series.

Send us a Text Message.Hosting the team with the best record in the Majors, the Minnesota Twins took two of three at Target Field to win a series over the Philadelphia Phillies, and Dan and Hoges can hardly believe it. But they agree: Considering how many players are missing from the Twins' roster, this was an impressive series win in which Minnesota played the better brand of baseball. Still, they have many critiques for Rocco Baldelli, largely surrounding his pinch hitting tendencies and his propensity to ignore reverse splits. They also look ahead to next week's trade deadline and wonder whether players like Eddy Julien, Trevor Larnach or Matt Wallner will be with this team into August. They are hopeful about the impending returns of Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda heading into this weekend's road trip that begins in Detroit.

Send us a Text Message.Back together to recap the Minnesota Twins' two-game series loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, David and Dan lament the many mistakes of Rocco Baldelli as the Twins stumble out of the All-Star break. While there certainly were some positives, such as the pitching of Pablo Lopez and the home run heroics of Byron Buxton and Carlos Santana, there were many reasons to wonder what might have been: What if the Twins bunted in Game 1? What if they could have gotten one clutch hit in Game 2? What if Rocco just left the lineup alone instead of pinching all the time? These are the questions the boys dive into, among many others. They discuss Joe Mauer's induction into the MLB Hall of Fame, they argue about the value of playing six games against the Brewers instead of the current four, and then they look toward the next series against the NL's best team.

Send us a Text Message.The Minnesota Twins break their streak of series victories dropping two of three to the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and tries his best to be the voice of reason. The boys discuss the news that Willi Castro has been named an all-star, as well as a fan's request in exchange for Carlos Santana's HR ball which completed his journey of hitting a home run in all 30 active MLB stadiums. Hoges is worried Rocco and the front office are getting too cutesy with their roster in attempting to use the All-Star break to their advantage, and David is furious at the role being filled by Christian Vazquez. The guys have some choice words for Manny Margot's play in game 3 and they discuss the current health struggles on the roster and the looming trade deadline. They finish up with news from around the MLB and make their picks for the upcoming Milwaukee Brewers series.

Send us a Text Message.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.

Send us a Text Message.Dan joins David in studio for this episode, which looks back at the Minnesota Twins' series victory over the visiting Houston Astros. Dan is upset still that Rocco Baldelli didn't do more to try to win what turned out to be a wild loss in Game 1, whereas David has more reason and patience for the manager's choices. They discuss the record-setting series from Jose Miranda in which he recorded hits in 12 consecutive at-bats, and they also admire the play of rookie Brooks Lee and veteran catcher Christian Vazquez. Carlos Correa appears to be OK after taking a baseball to the right hand -- well enough to play Monday and then, hopefully, in the All-Star Game next week. They look down the Green Line to a familiar face who was playing in St. Paul this weekend, and they make their picks for the next series.

Send us a Text Message.The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Detroit Tigers at Target Field. Royce Lewis once again finds himself on the IL due to a groin strain. The boys try and focus on the positives as Brooks Lee was called up from AAA to take Lewis' spot on the roster, and the rest of the team seems to be firing on all cylinders. The guys discuss Jose Miranda's absurd hitting ability and praise Rocco for his bullpen management in games 1 and 2. Dan wants to know if we'll see any further starts out of David Festa prior to the All-Star break, and David has once again been captivated by a TV show about football (soccer.)

Send us a Text Message.Closing out a three-city road trip, the Minnesota Twins take two out of three games from the Seattle Mariners and head home 10 games over .500. But David and Dan see the series very differently, with Dan erring on the side that Lady Luck was out to get the Twins, whereas David sees the Twins as the lucky ones considering just how poorly they played in the field. They can agree, though, that the Twins' offense has come alive, with a rejuvenated Byron Buxton, a sound-swinging Jose Miranda and a fire-throwing Joe Ryan who was so intimidating Luis Castillo didn't even swing when standing in the batter's box. They look at the many questionable choices made by Rocco Baldelli, and they look around the league standings as the MLB reaches the midpoint of its regular season.
