Show Notes

The Minnesota Twins were overmatched in a two-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it is perhaps comforting for David and Dan that they no longer need to play a team that looks an awful lot like the New York Yankees in stature and mystique. Back together after being apart the last three series, David and Dan find the Twins in second place for the first time in a long while, and they find it hard to see a ton of bright spots in this two-game performance against the Dodgers. They discuss Rocco Baldelli's management of his pitchers, and Dan wonders whether the manager's punishment for his unkind words to the league is an admittance that the replay booth in New York got that call wrong last series. Though they are confident Minnesota is still the best team in the AL Central, they boys are eager to see the Twins put together a winning streak as their competition gets a bit weaker the next few series. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
