The Minnesota Twins have an abysmal showing to close out the first half of the season before the All-Star break, getting swept by the Baltimore Orioles at Target Field. The guys talk about the issues that the team needs to address to turn things around for the second half of the season. The boys discuss Kyle Gibson's return to Target Field, who is now tied for the most wins ever at Target Field. Dan wants to know if there's a way to keep Julien instead of Miranda when Jorge Polanco makes his return from the IL, while David wants to know if Dan would have been happy at the beginning of the season knowing the Twins were only 1/2 a game out of 1st place in the AL Central at the break. The guys discuss the Reds new phenom Elly De La Cruz and his crazy play stealing both 3rd base and home on the same pitch. They finish up giving their picks for the Oakland Athletics series following the All-Star break. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
