At home against the rival Brewers, the Minnesota Twins drop all three games over a weekend series at Target Field, continuing a tailspin that looks a whole lot like the one the team endured at the end of last season. David laments just how often we've watched Jonah Bride pitch, while Dan offers a theory as to why Jake Bauers pitched as poorly as he did for the Brewers in Game 1. Dan also has a two-faced reading of Brooks Lee's series, and David heaps the praise on the one Twins player who deserves it right now. They also ponder whether the team should just bring back Eddie Julien and Jose Miranda now, considering how bad the offense has been anyway. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark. David adds to his case that Willi Castro errors are always mental, never physical, while Dan is upset at the MLB's rules about official games. David is curious if Bailey Ober's face on the mound is different than the face he uses when his children want his attention, and Dan wants to know if Rocco is up to the challenge to manage Ober and Paddack through their rough patches on the mound. David is impressed with Brooks Lee's hitting streak, but he wishes the hits came at more opportune times, and Dan wants to know if the Twins will be above .500 come the All-Start break. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

On Fathers' Day, David and Dan discuss the disappointing three-game series for the Minnesota Twins in Houston, where the Astros completed a sweep that so easily could have been a series win for the Twins. They process the injuries to Royce Lewis and Byron Buxton, lamenting the absences as part of the wasted chance here that the Twins had to build back some momentum. They also have words for the people who designed the Astros baseball stadium (going all the way back to its beginnings) while also wondering about Rocco Baldelli's handling of SWR and whether he might have been channeling the coaching style of a Minnesota legend. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
