    2025/07/24

    Send us a text

    The Minnesota Twins visited Chavez Ravine and the Los Angeles Dodgers and nearly came away with a remarkable series victory, only to see it snatched away by a series of unfortunate decisions late in Game 3. Hoges fills in for David to discuss the series with Dan, who was in attendance at the last two games in L.A. They discuss the ups and downs of Rocco Baldelli's management as well as their shared frustration over just how much the trade deadline has dominated the narratives around this Twins team. Dan shares a story of meeting a MN for the Win hero, and Hoges heaps praise on one of his heroes, Shohei Ohtani. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

  • Milkshakes at the Drive-Thru (Rockies Series Recap, 7/18-7/20)
    2025/07/21

    Send us a text

    Coming out of the All-Star Break, the Minnesota Twins give Colorado Rockies fans something of a surprise: a series victory for the Coors Field faithful. It's a disappointing series for the Twins, who fall three games under .500 and waste a chance to do better following what was an exciting pair of performances by Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan in Atlanta earlier in the week. David wonders whether Ryan has reached legitimate ace status, while Dan is eager to see the Twins shake up the roster by releasing one player and demoting another. Dan also praises Rocco Baldelli for his off-day management, but David is confused about Rocco's pinch-hitting choices. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

  • A Tea Party at Home Plate (Pirates Series Recap, 7/11-7/13)
    2025/07/14

    Send us a text

    The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Target Field. The boys talk through the series and as expected much of the talk focuses on Twins All-Stars Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan. The guys lament not being at Target field for Buxton's historic cycle, and they both criticize Willi Castro for making Friday's game closer than it ought to have been. David wants to know if Joe Ryan can say that he outpitched Paul Skenes, while Dan wonders what Twins fans need to see in the last three years of Correa's contract for it to feel worth it. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

  • The Heart is a Long Way from the Thigh (Cubs Series Recap, 7/8-7/10)

    Send us a text

    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!

  • Leave the Pitcher in Until He Dies (Marlins Series Recap, 7/1-7/3)
    2025/07/03

    Send us a text

    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!

  • Appreciating the Baseball for the Baseball (Tigers Series Recap, 6/27-6/29)
    2025/06/30

    Send us a text

    David and Dan are somewhat surprised to say that the Minnesota Twins took a game from the first-place Detroit Tigers, who looked every bit the part in this three-game series at Comerica Park. David is happy to see that the Twins took the first game and looked so good in doing so. Dan has a plan that would ensure Byron Buxton gets his rightful start in the All-Star Game. Both of them are underwhelmed by the Twins' catching tandem, and neither is totally confident that Rocco Baldelli knows that bunts are in fact allowed in baseball. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

  • The Corn Dog Route (Mariners Series Recap, 6/23-6/26)
    2025/06/27

    Send us a text

    The Minnesota Twins lose two and win two against the visiting Seattle Mariners, giving David and Dan some hope that this year's team, now halfway through the season, isn't without hope. They critique the performances by all four starting pitchers and question the choices of manager Rocco Baldelli more than the decisions by Mariners skipper Dan Wilson. Both of them look toward the trade deadline and find little reason at this point to trade key assets. Still, they see lots to like in this series split as they look toward the next few series before the All-Star Break. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
