Within a day of the end of the Minnesota Twins' season, manager Rocco Baldelli was fired and two articles were published about the Pohlad family. Somewhat surprised by both, David, Dan and Hoges recap each development. They are puzzled by the timing of the firing, even if it seems merited. They also offer up one former Twins player as a replacement candidate, though they'd prefer someone with a firmer approach than Baldelli's. And, as they generally agree: The recent stories about the Pohlads only add to the narrative that the family is not in it to win it. All three also offer their predictions for the 2025 postseason, with Dan following his heart, David following his head, and Hoges following something in between. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. After a long time apart David and Dan reunite to talk through the last series of the 2025 Minnesota Twins season. The Puckett's Picks season winner is revealed, and a new wager is on the table between the boys. Dan wants to know if the Twins should resign Vazquez, while David is curious why Joe Ryan would speak so highly of the front office unless he was going to sign an extension. The boys discuss whether Max Kepler played in CF out of spite against the Twins, and David wants to know proper fan etiquette while watching teams you don't care about. The guys give their thoughts on the Judge vs. Raleigh MVP race, and talk through who they are cheering for in the postseason. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Texas Rangers in Arlington. The boys are highly encouraged by the great starting pitching shown throughout the series, and David is starting to believe this team could find success if Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez are on the team in 2026. Hoges wants to know if he'll be considered a fair "weathered" fan if he cancels his season tickets, and David wants to know if the current infield roster is good enough to compete next season. The boys walk through the Puckett's Picks scenarios to determine the season winner and make their picks for the Phillies series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
