Dan joins David in studio for this episode, which looks back at the Minnesota Twins' series victory over the visiting Houston Astros. Dan is upset still that Rocco Baldelli didn't do more to try to win what turned out to be a wild loss in Game 1, whereas David has more reason and patience for the manager's choices. They discuss the record-setting series from Jose Miranda in which he recorded hits in 12 consecutive at-bats, and they also admire the play of rookie Brooks Lee and veteran catcher Christian Vazquez. Carlos Correa appears to be OK after taking a baseball to the right hand -- well enough to play Monday and then, hopefully, in the All-Star Game next week. They look down the Green Line to a familiar face who was playing in St. Paul this weekend, and they make their picks for the next series. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
