MN for the Win - A Minnesota Twins Podcast
When the Bats are Hot, the Pitching is Not (Royals Series Recap, 7/28-7/30)
The AL Central's 1st place Minnesota Twins were swept by AL Central's last place team the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The Twins failed to capitalize in their last series against the Royals in 2023, and surprisingly it's the pitching that does most of the harm through the course of the series. Dan finds the silver lining from an unexpected source, while David is annoyed at Rocco's use of Joey Gallo. Dan wants to know why the MLB hasn't come up with a better solution to its replay system and both the guys are looking to trade Carlos Correa for Bobby Witt Jr. after the show he put on in the series. David asks what Dan would do about the Dallas Keuchel situation, and Dan finally gets to ask David if he believes Mauer will make it to Cooperstown. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
