Opening Day is just about here, and we are all but certain Luis Arraez will be in that lineup ... but where? Dan and David discuss what that opening day lineup might look like, how Kyle Garlick (and not Rooker or Kirilloff) ended up on the roster and how everyone is going to get their at-bats over the course of the season. They also offer their season predictions -- including some outlandish ones about Miguel Sano and the bullpen -- and David gives Dan grief over his endless praise for a certain Twins centerfielder.

In this episode, David and Dan discuss the Twins' ongoing roster construction for the 2021 season. The boys discuss where Bryon Buxton should bat in the lineup and offer their thoughts on who should start in left field and as a result, which players should be on the bench to start the season. They dig into the rotation and how the Twins should handle Randy Dobnak as well as if a six-man rotation is a possibility. They finish up with a discussion on how the bullpen ought to be managed and discuss Aaron Gleeman's article about the Twins' historic post-season losing streak. Thanks for listening!

David and Dan discuss the Twins postseason pitching rotation and roster construction and wrap up the two-game series against the Tigers. In Ronnie's Rages David makes it clear that he hates it when runners lose their helmets.

The Twins have clinched a postseason spot and now the race is on for the top seed.  The boys give their series grades, Minnesota Moments, Mauer's Musings, Beast/Bench, Rocco's Rewind, and give their Puckett's Picks for the upcoming series against the Reds.

David and Dan discuss the Twins three-game series against the Chicago Cubs from 9/18-9/20. We introduce a new segment in honor of Ron Gardenhire titled, "Ronnie's Rages." Dan gets the inaugural honor as he goes off on national broadcasters and interviews happening with players and managers mid-game. The Twins have clinched a postseason spot and now the race is on for the top seed. Dan's emotions have steadied after this series and he has returned to both his love for Eddie Rosario and his level-headed grading, while David is still frustrated by Sano's inability to do anything outside of hitting one home run per series. The boys give their series grades, Minnesota Moments, Mauer's Musings, Beast/Bench, Rocco's Rewind, and give their Puckett's Picks for the upcoming series against the Chicago Cubs. Thanks for listening!
