The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Chicago Cubs at Target Field. Dan joins David in person in his Minneapolis studio and the boys discuss their days at the ballpark for the Cubs series. Dan feels like it's time for Rocco to let SWR see a lineup a third time through, and David has decided the Twins should keep Harrison Bader for 2026. David thinks MLB players should wear cameras so fans could watch at-bats from their perspective, while Dan argues that's asking too much. The boys discuss Manny Machado's latest milestone, and make their picks for the upcoming Pirates series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field in Minneapolis. Dan has an interesting dream about Joe Mauer, and David tries his best to interpret it. Byron Buxton is living his dream as he'll be playing in Atlanta as an All-Star. Dan appreciates Rocco's versatility in his use of pinch hitters and runners throughout the series, while David is furious Rocco didn't let Louis Varland pitch the 10th in game 3. Dan wants to know if this team is good again, while David wonders if it's time to bring up our resident Canadian, Eddie Julien. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins manage just one victory in three games in Miami, much to the consternation of David and Dan, who are frustrated by the inconsistency of this offense -- and are also resigned to the fact that this team as constructed just isn't a playoff-ready team. That said, David is pleased with Rocco Baldelli's management of David Festa but is still ready to jettison many players on expiring contracts. Dan is wise to Rocco's roster management and is also eager to invite a few Twins players to his Fourth of July party. There's also lots around the league to discuss, including a milestone for a pitcher and a gambling scandal for a Twins rival. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
