    More Than a Deadline (Twins-Royals Series Recap, 8/4-8/6)

    Send us Fan Mail It wasn't the outcome that might have been expected after the way the Minnesota Twins handled the MLB trade deadline, but the Twins do come away with one victory in Kansas City, and they still managed to keep pace in the AL Central. David and Dan discuss the close competition for playoff spots in the American League and how they think the Twins will figure in that as they head into a difficult stretch of opponents. They are at odds over whether Tom Pohlad can be trusted, even after coming through with some trades this week. But they are in agreement that Royce Lewis looks great, Joe Ryan should have said something earlier, and that there are two key prospects waiting in St. Paul who should no longer be waiting for their call-up.

    So Many Echoes (Twins-Mariners Series Recap, 7/31-8/2)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Seattle Mariners, both of them in walk-off fashion, ending a series that felt eerily like the Twins' last trip to Seattle -- and in a way, much like an inversion of their most recent series against the Kansas City Royals. Hoges fills in for the traveling David again to discuss the series with Dan, who was able to attend all three games in Seattle. Dan pins a lot of blame on the starters' troubles in the first inning, and Hoges pins plenty of blame on Royce Lewis for his mishandling of the last play of Game 2. They also discuss the future of Trevor Larnach, Victor Caratini and Alex Jackson, and they assess the new bullpen order after the trades this week.

    The Team That Never Dies (Twins-Royals Series, 7/28-7/30)

    Send us Fan Mail Sandwiched around one of their most disappointing games of the season were two of the Minnesota Twins' most exciting ones, with walk-off hits from Royce Lewis and Kody Clemens giving them a series victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and raves about the walk-offs as well as the Twins' bullpen, which made both the victories possible. Dan stands pat with his feelings about the trade deadline, while Hoges is still prepared to trade one of the team's key players so long as Minnesota gets a good return. They look around the league at Tariq Skubal's possible landing spots, and generally they just bask in the joy of watching a team in late July contend for the playoffs.

    The Quadrants of the Heart (Twins-Athletics Series Recap, 7/24-7/26)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins took two of three from the visiting Athletics and gained a little ground on their AL Central Division rivals as the race tightens one week ahead of the trade deadline. David grills Dan for his opinion about which players should be traded before then; Dan is wondering how the Twins find a way to get Walker Jenkins onto this roster. David praises the pitching staff's performance but questions Derek Shelton's use of a newly healthy reliever, and Dan slips up and calls the Twins' third catcher by the wrong first name.

    More Questions Than Answers (Twins-Guardians Recap, 7/20-7/23)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins split a four game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the boys have mixed feelings about the Twins performance on the road trip. The guys question a lot of Derek Shelton's decisions, and they have nothing but questions about this roster heading into the trade deadline. Hoges is upset with ESPN's Power Rankings, and wants David to join him on a road trip to Iowa.

    A Guy of Luke Keaschall’s Caliber (Twins-Cubs Series Recap, 7/17-7/19)

    Send us Fan Mail Despite the Minnesota Twins' series loss at the Chicago Cubs, David and Dan still have much to discuss. David is clear-minded and very upset about how Game 2 ended, even as he continues to support Luke Keaschall in all of his baseball tools. Dan insists on challenging David's ability to do simple math. They both like the way the bullpen has shaken out, and they discuss Major League Baseball's recent crackdown on iPad use in dugouts. Dan is not surprised. David thinks it'll work itself out.

    It's a Heart and Soul Kind of Thing (Twins-Angels Series Recap, 7/10-7/12)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins win yet another series, their eighth over the last nine, and head into the All-Star Break one win under .500 at 48-49. David continues to defend Derek Shelton's creative use of Luke Keaschall, who had ups and downs during this series against the Los Angeles Angels. Dan is pleased with how Shelton handled the pitching staff and how he's basically helped this team become exactly what Dan thought it would be at this point in the season. David and Dan discuss whether Ryan Jeffers will be with the Twins long term (or even for the rest of this season) and then make their picks for Minnesota's next series, which will be in Chicago after the Break.

    Call Them Boys, Not Men (Twins-Guardians Series Recap, 7/7-7/9)

    Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins win their seventh series in their last eight, giving David and Dan plenty to discuss after the Twins take two of three games against the rival Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. While David laments that the Twins didn't do more to win Game 3 and secure a sweep, he still really likes what he saw from Taj Bradley and wants the Twins to lock him into a long-term deal now. Dan is confused about what the Twins are doing in the field positionally, though David has no issues with the approach. Both are eager to see Ryan Jeffers return soon, hopefully for this final series before the All-Star Break. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
