The Minnesota Twins finished out the regular season with three games against the Colorado Rockies. While the games were meaningless the Twins still made things interesting putting up some big numbers in games 1 and 2. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins the boys in studio to preview the Twins upcoming postseason series against the Toronto Blue Jays in the  American League Wildcard Series. The boys make their predictions in Beast vs. Bench discussing who they believe will come up big for the team and who may have a negative impact. The guys dig deep into the postseason roster construction and Byron Buxton is the contentious focal point. David wants to ensure Rocco has all the pitching options he needs while Hoges and Dan think it's worth bringing Buxton along for his game changing abilities. Dan wants to know if the rookies will continue to rake in the postseason, while David is concerned about the number of Blue Jays fans who may show up at Target Field for the series. Hoges is confused how the recent bullpen shakeup is going to shake out and the guys wrap up making their Puckett's Picks for the series and giving their series result predictions. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
