David and Dan return to the podcast after a one-series absence and pick apart the Twins' series victory over the rival White Sox, two games to one in Chicago. They discuss the first-of-its-kind triple play turned by the Twins and the homer-fueled hitting display by Minnesota, which got big games from Luis Arraez, Jorge Polanco and Alex Kirilloff. Once again, though, the Twins' bullpen can't hold a lead, this time in Game 3 after a short start by Joe Ryan. David questions the manner in which Rocco Baldelli is employing Emilio Pagan, and Dan eats a bit of crow in his earlier comments about the MLB readiness of Jose Miranda, who had another strong series. They also discuss two players who are headed in different directions on the injury front: starting pitcher Chris Archer, who just went on the IL; and Miguel Sano, who is (according to Dan) coming back to the Majors soon. David disagrees. Thanks for listening, and go Twins.
