The Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Red Sox in a curious series, one that left David asking about Rocco's wardrobe choices and Dan wondering why the Twins bother to play baseball in such a strangely dimensioned (albeit historic) venue. Still, the Twins remain in first place in the AL Central, and all things considered, it wasn't as terrible of an East Coast road trip as they've had in the past. David and Dan discuss the strong efforts at the plate from Max Kepler and Joey Gallo, who led a hitting barrage in Game 2. They also dissect the strange plays at the end of Game 1 and the management of the pitching staff following Kenta Maeda's early exit in Game 3. They also look around the league at the Athletics' potential move to Las Vegas and the enforcement of the rules around how much rosin is too much rosin. Thanks for listening, and go Twins.
