The Minnesota Twins were swept by the Baltimore Orioles at Target Field, and were officially eliminated from the playoffs. David and Dan recap the miserable series and dive into all the breaking news regarding Rocco Baldelli retaining his position as manager, and Derek Falvey also staying on board in the front office. The boys discuss the Twins removing a fan from the stadium who held up signs criticizing ownership, and talk through some of the quotes from Correa and others about the disappointing end to the season. Dan wants to know how the Twins will replace Kepler in right field, while David takes issue with the position held by some that the Twins weren't that good to begin with so ownership not spending money was the right move last offseason and at the trade deadline. The boys finish up looking at the crazy NL Wildcard race and offer a heartfelt thank you to the loyal listeners this season. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

It's another disappointing series loss from the Minnesota Twins, who dropped two of three at home to the 100-loss Miami Marlins. David and Dan mourn the nearly certain end of any playoff hopes this team has, now that its path to the postseason is as narrow as it gets. David praises the play of Carlos Correa, and Dan hypes the Byron Buxton train (or is it a truck?), but they have plenty of questions for the rest of the roster after such a crucial series went awry. Still, they struggle to see exactly what Rocco Baldelli could have done differently to steer this ship better even a month ago. They have plenty to say about the final game in Oakland for the Athletics franchise, and they look a bit around the league as it heads into the final weekend of the regular season. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and tries his best to bring David back from the brink of leaving baseball for cricket. The boys discuss the dreadful performance of the Twins offense in the entirety of the series, and the surprising performance of the bullpen in game 1. David is upset that Rocco isn't upset enough with the way the team is performing, and Hoges thinks Falvey and Levine don't deserve the free pass that David and Dan offered last episode. The boys give their predictions for the Twins postseason chances and while David is unconvinced, Hoges tries to play both sides of the issue. The guys finish up with a discussion of Shohei Ohtani's remarkable season and make their picks for the upcoming Marlins series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
