MN for the Win David Kuhfuss and Dan Thompson

After a marvelous two-week run, the Minnesota Twins' winning streak ends at 12 games with a defeat to the visiting Boston Red Sox. But it was another series win, the team's fourth in a row, and so there is still optimism for Dan and Hoges as they discuss the three games with Boston. "Pablo Day" was very confusing for both Dan and Hoges, who thought it was more than just one specific day. They have plenty of criticism for manager Rocco Baldelli's use of pinch hitting, especially when the players coming in are Manny Margot and Kyle Farmer. They also discuss the injury to Byron Buxton and whether the Twins need to be setting the stage for a new centerfielder next season, just in case, and they wonder whether the sausage sponsorship should come from a place a little bit closer to home. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

With the streak up to 10 games in a row, the Minnesota Twins have Dan and Hoges feeling optimistic -- even if the victories have come against the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels. They look back at the most recent sweep, the Twins' third in a row, and they cling to the optimism inspired by victories in the face of some disappointing news. Hoges rails against the response by Twins' management to the latest in the Bally Sports-Comcast dispute, while Dan wonders whether Byron Buxton's knee injury is either a lingering issue or something catastrophic. Both are encouraged by the returns of Jhoan Duran and Carlos Correa, and they discuss whether the Twins really are a better baseball team than they were -- or if the White Sox really are that bad. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

A week ago, the Minnesota Twins' season was at a key inflection point. But seven straight wins later, they are above .500 and right back in the race for the AL Central. David and Dan discuss the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels and all that went right, namely the play of Carlos Santana, Willi Castro and the rest of the position players who are not named Manuel Margot. With all this production, they wonder whose place Carlos Correa will take this week when he likely returns. They also praise the savvy play of Ryan Jeffers, who was one of the many beneficiaries of the Angels' poor play in the field. Dan is glad to have an anti-infield-in ally in the Twins TV booth, while David points out the improved plate discipline we saw from the Twins all series. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

There's nothing like a series with the Chicago White Sox to get a team off a losing streak, and the Minnesota Twins took advantage of the opportunity with a four-game sweep at Target Field. David and Dan leave the series still wondering, though: Are the Twins really better now? Or are the White Sox just that bad? They look at the standout performances by Max Kepler, Eddy Julien and Trevor Larnach, as well as the fine pitching performance by Chris Paddack and most of the bullpen. With Carlos Correa and Jhoan Duran back soon, dare we hope the Twins can get back over .500?

The Minnesota Twins lose two of three to the Detroit Tigers at Target Field. David and Dan are both frustrated with the poor defensive fielding demonstrated in the series, and Dan's frustration boils over in Rocco's rewind because of Rocco's pinch hitting decisions. Dan wants to know if Max Kepler will feel pressure to save the team upon his return from injury, and David is curious if the Twins are regretting their decision to send Alcala down to the minors. The guys check-in on beloved ex-Twin Miguel Sano and once again Ohtani finds himself in Herbie's Headlines. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

Facing the juggernaut that is the Baltimore Orioles, the Minnesota Twins fall flat as they are swept in a three-game series for the first time this season. David and Dan discuss the struggles of Louis Varland, Chris Paddack and much of the lineup and pitching staff in clutch situations, while David particularly wonders whether someone should be keeping careful track of Rocco Baldelli's brain. They are encouraged by the play of Jose Miranda and that of Byron Buxton, though Dan expresses his fears of watching Buxton go anywhere near an outfield wall. They look ahead to a crucial 16-game stretch against middling to poor teams, wondering whether the Twins can work their way back to .500 by early May. They also ask whether it would be better to have Carlos Correa or Royce Lewis back in the lineup. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
