It's Only a Mound Visit if a Pitcher Gets Hugged (Astros Series Recap, 8/23-8/25)

The Houston Astros finished off a season sweep of the Minnesota Twins by winning all three in Houston this week, extending the Twins' overall losing streak to six games. They are now four back in the Central with just over a month to go, yet David and Dan are not entirely down on this injury-depleted team. They discuss the few highlights of Carlos Correa's return to his former home stadium (no boos!) and they dissect the circumstances that led to Rocco Baldelli's ejection in Game 1. After ranting about ERA, David asks just where the bar needs to be for the fill-in outfielders, and Dan wonders whether Correa has done enough this season to merit a long-term deal next year. Finally, they end by looking optimistically at the newly released MLB 2023 season calendar. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
