Send us a text
After time away for the All-Star break David and Dan are back at it discussing the Twins terrible performance against the Detroit Tigers. After sweeping the Tigers prior to the All-Star break the Tigers returned the favor sweeping the Twins in the three game series. The boys commiserate the lackluster performance of the Twins offense and Dan is upset at MLB for making Nelson Cruz get interviewed during his All-Star game at bat. The guys struggle to find the beast of the series and David wants to know if he were in Byron Buxton's position if he would take the extension offer the Twins have put on the table. Dan wants to know what's happening with Sano and celebrates his first win in Puckett's Picks in several weeks. Thanks for listening!

July 12, 2021 Brooms Up, Tigers Down (Detroit Series Recap, 7/8-7/11)
Send us a text
The Twins head into the All-Star Break with a four-game sweep of the Tigers, and while David and Dan are only joking about how the Twins might just have time to get back into contention, they agree that this sure was a fun series to watch. They revisit the many memorable moments of the series, from Polanco's timely hitting to Ben Rortvedt's unexpected home run. David continues to look smart for believing in Max Kepler, while Dan muses about whether Trevor Larnach is the second coming of a Twins great left-handed hitter -- even after Larnach's 12-strikeout series that helped him set a new record-low in Puckett's Picks.

July 08, 2021 One Error and One Dumb (White Sox Series Recap, 7/6-7/8)
Send us a text
Dan is traveling back home so once again Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David in studio. The boys commiserate the lackluster performance the Twins put on display at Target field and Hoges finally admits the season is lost. Both David and Andrew are disappointed in the performance of Simmons on the season, and David feels vindicated in his prior defense of Max Kepler. Andrew wants to know if the Twins could restart the season if they would fair any better if the team were the exact same, and David continues to celebrate his run of victories in Puckett's Picks. Thanks for listening!

July 05, 2021 No Division Kings to See Here (Royals Series Recap, 7/2-7/4)
Send us a text
The Twins and Royals duked it out for fourth place in the AL Central, and at the season midpoint Minnesota unexpectedly sits in last after losing two of three in Kansas City. David and Dan rehash the ups -- Kenta Maeda's start, Trevor Larnach's bat -- and the downs, namely the poor starting pitching performances in Game 1 and 2. David sees just two paths forward for this franchise with no middle ground. Dan can't envision a future where Byron Buxton isn't in the Twins' outfield, though he can very much see one without Max Kepler. Can Miguel Sano be fixed? Should Josh Donaldson be traded for the right deal? Will Nelson Cruz still be a Twins player when he shows up for the All-Star Game? David and Dan discuss that and more.

July 02, 2021 Should've Hired the Elves Instead of the Shoemaker (White Sox Series Recap, 6/28-7/01)
Send us a text
Dan is in studio one final time before making the trek back to Washington. The boys lament the Twins being swept by the White Sox in what put the final nail in any hopes of a comeback this season. Dan is impressed with what he's seen from Kirilloff and David wants Rocco to stay the course as a calm manager for the team. The guys breakdown the most recent Josh Donaldson drama and how it could have been handled better. David wonders whether the most recent uncovering of pitchers using sticky stuff on the mound to be more akin to corked bats or steroids. They discuss the looming trade deadline and who the Twins should put out to the market and take a few last digs at Matt Shoemaker as the Twins have released him from the team. Thanks for listening!

Send us a text
Dan is in studio to record and the boys at long last got to see a Twins game together in person for the first time post-COVID. The Twins only play 3 of the scheduled 4 against the Indians and come away winning 2 of 3. David tries his best to stop himself from starting to believe in a Twins comeback this season, and Dan is frustrated with Rocco's handling of the starting pitching staff. David continues to ride Arraez to another Puckett's pickets victory and the boys wonder about contract extensions for Berrios and Simmons. Thanks for listening!

June 23, 2021 Splitting the Red C (Red's Series Recap, 6/21-6/22)
Send us a text
Dan is on the road making his way to Minnesota so David's friend Andrew lends a hand. Andrew not only kept David in check but also worked in several puns. The boys discuss the Twins crazy two-game series split against the Cincinnati Reds and the devastating news that Byron Buxton will once again be out of the lineup for the foreseeable future. Andrew wants to know if the Twins are going to reload or rebuild for the 2022 season and David wants to know how the arbiters will take into account Buxton's injuries when setting his salary for 2022. Andrew calls out David and Dan's grading skills, and the guys finish up by making their picks for the up coming Cleveland Indians series. Thanks for listening!

June 21, 2021 Walks, Texas Rangers (Rangers Series Recap, 6/18-6/20)
Send us a text
David and Dan are reunited as David returned from his vacation and the boys discuss the Twins three game sweep of the Texas Rangers. David gives both praise and criticisms to his fill-ins, and Dan's disdain for David's Rogers-Robles combination love is once again made evident. In Mauer's Musings Dan wonders if the Twins can get to 40 wins before they hit the 50 loss mark, and David is curious where the Twins should realistically be slotted in the power rankings. The boys question if the rest of this season matters to the Twins front office or if they have already made up their minds about a possible rebuild. Dan prepares for his trip to Minnesota and can barely contain his excitement to see his old pal Eddie Rosario back in left at Target field. Thanks for listening!

June 18, 2021 Sweep-less in Seattle (Mariners Series Recap, 6/14-6/16)
Send us a text
After finding two very different ways to lose the first two of this series, the Twins avoid going 0-3 in Seattle by winning Game 3. With David still on vacation, Dan's long-time friend and Seattle Mariners fan Tommy fills in and picks up David's latest cause: that the winning pitcher should be the one who is most deserving. Dan still wonders what that means. Tommy and Dan discuss the curious state of the Twins starting rotation, the odd circumstances surrounding Byron Buxton, and they ask that Target Field brings back a celebratory staple from the old Metrodome.

June 14, 2021 Blasted by the Astros (Houston Series Recap, 6/11-6/13)
Send us a text
The Twins and Astros split the first two games, but it was all Houston in Game 3 when it launched 20 hits, the most against Minnesota this season. Dan is joined by Alex, a long-time friend and baseball fan, who fills in for the vacationing David. Dan and Alex discuss the changes to the Twins' starting rotation and whether this is actually the end of the Shoemaker experiment. Alex gets a chance to criticize the now retired Joe Mauer, something Alex did plenty during Mauer's playing days. They both wonder when Nelson Cruz will be traded, though perhaps there is some hope that the Twins will return to their winning ways with the returns of Byron Buxton and Luis Arraez during this week's road trip.
