The Minnesota Twins split a four game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the boys have mixed feelings about the Twins performance on the road trip. The guys question a lot of Derek Shelton's decisions, and they have nothing but questions about this roster heading into the trade deadline. Hoges is upset with ESPN's Power Rankings, and wants David to join him on a road trip to Iowa. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

Despite the Minnesota Twins' series loss at the Chicago Cubs, David and Dan still have much to discuss. David is clear-minded and very upset about how Game 2 ended, even as he continues to support Luke Keaschall in all of his baseball tools. Dan insists on challenging David's ability to do simple math. They both like the way the bullpen has shaken out, and they discuss Major League Baseball's recent crackdown on iPad use in dugouts. Dan is not surprised. David thinks it'll work itself out. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins win yet another series, their eighth over the last nine, and head into the All-Star Break one win under .500 at 48-49. David continues to defend Derek Shelton's creative use of Luke Keaschall, who had ups and downs during this series against the Los Angeles Angels. Dan is pleased with how Shelton handled the pitching staff and how he's basically helped this team become exactly what Dan thought it would be at this point in the season. David and Dan discuss whether Ryan Jeffers will be with the Twins long term (or even for the rest of this season) and then make their picks for Minnesota's next series, which will be in Chicago after the Break. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins win their seventh series in their last eight, giving David and Dan plenty to discuss after the Twins take two of three games against the rival Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. While David laments that the Twins didn't do more to win Game 3 and secure a sweep, he still really likes what he saw from Taj Bradley and wants the Twins to lock him into a long-term deal now. Dan is confused about what the Twins are doing in the field positionally, though David has no issues with the approach. Both are eager to see Ryan Jeffers return soon, hopefully for this final series before the All-Star Break. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

With Dan back on the show and back in the country, he and David celebrate a Fourth of July weekend that includes a Minnesota Twins series victory at Yankee Stadium, where the Twins took two of three. Riding high after attending a St. Paul Saints game, David is riding high about not just the Triple-A squad but also the Big League one, and he wonders if it's time to go all-in on the Twins. Dan praises manager Derek Shelton's handling of the lineup over the last couple of weeks. Both David and Dan are eager to see the next round of call-ups as the Twins enter the final week before the All-Star Break. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 on the road against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. "The Chaos" Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David for the last time during this stretch as Dan Thompson returns from Europe. The guys discuss their issues with soccer, but also their joy in cheering on the USA in the World Cup. Hoges believers Caratini should be credited with earned runs after a big mistake in game 2, and both guys are baffled as to why Tristan Gray is still on this team. David thinks Royce Lewis' deficiencies are becoming a bigger problem at 1st base, and Hoges continues to be frustrated at Derek Shelton's handling of the bullpen. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the Colorado Rockies at Target Field. The "Chaos" Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson once again fills in for Dan and the boys are in relatively high spirits following a series win against a terrible baseball team. David is annoyed with Derek Shelton's postgame press conference, while Hoges is still baffled by his bullpen decision making process. Hoges is curious when we'll see Kaelen Culpepper with the big league club, and David wants to know if right field is the answer for Luke Keaschall. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins are swept by the LA Dodgers at Target Field in Minneapolis. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills is as Dan continues his world travels. The boys are disappointed, but not surprised at the results of the series, and were pleasantly surprised by how close the Twins came to stealing a game or two of the series. Hoges is getting fed up with Derek Shelton's managerial decisions, and David proposes switching things up and bringing Paul Molitor back into the managerial fold. David is curious if Hoges is still in on this season, and the boys give injury and roster updates for your Minnesota Twins. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
