    Da Vinci Goes to Kindergarten (Royals Series Recap, 3/30-4/2)

    Send us Fan Mail Mother Nature clearly conspired with Major League Baseball to tilt the scales against the Minnesota Twins in this series, as they lose two of three to the Kansas City Royals at the occasionally wet and foggy Kaufman Stadium. David sees the glimmer that was Taj Bradley's start, while Dan wonders whether there might be true depth to the lineup with the hitting performances of Josh Bell and Matt Wallner in this series. They both are enjoying the ABS challenge system and wonder how long it will be before robo umps take over the job full time. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins open their season on the road against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The boys discuss Derek Shelton's first series as manager, and their surprise at the competence shown by the bullpen. David wants to know if Shelton is going to get the team back on track when it comes to fundamentals, and Dan is both impressed and unimpressed by Royce Lewis.

    A Lot of Room for Upside (2026 Minnesota Twins Season Preview)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins season is here, and so are David, Dan and Hoges with their predictions and analysis. Hoges has little optimism left and expects that the Twins will trade their best players by mid summer. David thinks the best hope the Twins have is in their long-haired second baseman. Dan has hope that the Twins' current plan at shortstop is going to work out better than its plan did last year. As the guys look over the schedule, David points to May 10 as a key date. They also talk about the automatic ball-strike system and how the Twins' schedule shapes up as far as road trips. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

    Back within the Diamond (Minnesota Twins Spring Training No. 5)

    Send us Fan Mail With just a few days to go before the season opener, David and Dan discuss the end of the World Baseball Classic, the 2026 rule changes and the final shuffling of the Minnesota Twins roster. Dan thinks the WBC should be moved to an extended All-Star Break; David thinks the rule changes mostly make sense. But the Twins bench and bullpen are still considerable question marks for a team that David and Dan are both hoping will surprise this season. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

    A Crusade Against the M-Crowns (Minnesota Twins Spring Training No. 4)

    Send us Fan Mail The World Baseball Classic is heading into the quarterfinals after a round of pool play that was memorable for many reasons, including the "misspeak" by Team USA manager Mark DeRosa. David and Dan do the math themselves and discuss whether they are rooting for the juggernaut or the underdog the rest of the way. Dan has a complaint about his new hat; David is focused more on the glut of lefthanded players on the Minnesota Twins roster. Just two weeks to go until spring training, and despite what the weather might suggest, it's nearly time for baseball. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

    Free Menards T-Shirts for Lefties (Minnesota Twins Spring Training No. 3)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins continue their Grapefruit League games and continue to whittle down the roster. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in as Dan Thompson is busy covering his EWU Basketball team. The guys discuss the recent MLB news including new signings and suspensions, and give their takes on the Athletics' fan survey questions. The boys try to sort out which outfielders should make the big league roster, and David offers some unexpected praise to the Twins front office.

    Close Enough to Buy a Hat (Minnesota Twins Spring Training No. 2)

    Send us Fan Mail On the heels of the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic is nearly here, and David and Dan are excited about the chance to continue rooting for the United States, especially with Byron Buxton on the roster. They look around the league to see how the automated balls and strikes system is going while diving into the rosters of the WBC. They also look at the Minnesota Twins' roster, which is taking shape, even if there are more open spots and unknowns than there have been in many years. David is curious who will actually close games out of the bullpen, and Dan wonders how much room there is in the outfield -- and whose names will soon be on the jerseys available at the Twins online shop.
