During a weekend series in Chicago, the Minnesota Twins made the White Sox look like a good baseball team, something that says a lot about the current state of both franchises. Dan is happy to see the returns of some of those midseason trades, though admittedly he'd like to see more out of Mick Abel and Taj Bradley. David has lots to say about the play and words of Royce Lewis, who might want to look more closely at his stats before he speaks about them. David and Dan discuss the just-announced 2026 game between the Twins and Phillies at the Iowa Field of Dreams, and Dan recounts a recent viewing of a childhood favorite baseball film. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

At home against the homeless Athletics, the Minnesota Twins lose all three contests at Target Field to continue a stretch of bad baseball played by what is now a very young team. David sees some hope in the play of Brooks Lee but is disappointed at other young players' performances. Dan is pleased to see Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober giving the team their all. David muses about a favorite song and wishes that the Pohlads had a love for baseball in their heart. The guys discuss the various realignment proposals that have recently circulated, and they look around at a violent (baseball-related) act in the minor leagues. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins drop 3 of 4 to the Detroit Tigers at Target Field. The boys try to stay positive knowing the rest of this season is a lost cause. Dan is still trying to figure who is a starting pitcher on this baseball team, and David is furious at Rocco's decisions to close out game 1. Further, David is convinced Rocco needs coaching help to get better at being angry. David is trying to find a reason to keep watching this season, and Dan offers some optimism looking ahead to 2026. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins.
