In a season when it doesn't seem as likely to matter, the Minnesota Twins accomplished something rare this weekend in taking two of three games in Cleveland against the Guardians. Hoges joins Dan to discuss the series, which featured three close games and the Twins bullpen holding its own against the Guardians. Dan doesn't like the call to send down Kody Funderburk, and Hoges brainstorms some solutions for helping Matt Wallner out of his slump. They also check in David's May 10 proclamation and offer ideas on where the Twins will end up by September. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

After a promising Game 1, the Minnesota Twins lose a series at Nationals Park, making David's May 10 check-in date a doomed one: The Twins will not be at .500 when that day comes and goes. David offers his thoughts on that and asks for something of an amendment to it. Dan isn't so sure. Dan asks why it is that we were so wrong about Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner, while David raises the question about why Royce Lewis continues to say what he says to the media. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Dan has given up on Royce Lewis, while David wonders if Derek Shelton regrets taking the Twins job this offseason. The guys discuss how Shelton should build the lineup card, and worry about Byron Buxton waiving his no trade clause. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins

With the Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves locked in thrilling playoff series, the Minnesota Twins are doing their best to stay out of the limelight, losing two of three at home to the Seattle Mariners. David is up in arms over the poor hitting with runners in scoring position. Dan laments the signings in the bullpen that haven't worked out. They keep talking about Brooks Lee and are eager to see Matt Wallner given a fresh start at Triple-A. David asks whether ownership really believed in this team like they said they did, and Dan is wondering about a starter from last year who has yet to appear in the Majors. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins are swept in Tampa Bay by the Rays at Tropicana Field. Dan feels it's time for the team to start looking to the future by bringing up the rising stars at AAA. David is okay if the Twins keep losing as long as the Wild and Wolves keep winning, but feels Derek Shelton needs to do better at saving the small amount of decent bullpen arms he has. Dan wants an apology from David, and the Red Sox fire Alex Cora. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins had surged over .500 to the top of the American League, but after another series loss -- this one in New York City, to the Mets -- David and Dan aren't so sure what this team is capable of anymore. David can't even blame manager Derek Shelton for the bullpen, because who is he supposed to go to? Dan is wondering whether any of the younger players who made promising debuts this week could be the answer. They discuss how the Twins should proceed with Matt Wallner and how they can find the magic they had for the first three weeks. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins continue their winning ways taking 2 of 3 from the Boston Red Sox at Target Field.

David wants to know if Derek Shelton just prefers to leave things alone, and Hoges wants to know which part of the Twins roster is soon to turn back into a pumpkin. The boys discuss their newfound love of the ABS challenge system, and make their picks for the upcoming Reds series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
