The Minnesota Twins break their streak of series victories dropping two of three to the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and tries his best to be the voice of reason. The boys discuss the news that Willi Castro has been named an all-star, as well as a fan's request in exchange for Carlos Santana's HR ball which completed his journey of hitting a home run in all 30 active MLB stadiums. Hoges is worried Rocco and the front office are getting too cutesy with their roster in attempting to use the All-Star break to their advantage, and David is furious at the role being filled by Christian Vazquez. The guys have some choice words for Manny Margot's play in game 3 and they discuss the current health struggles on the roster and the looming trade deadline. They finish up with news from around the MLB and make their picks for the upcoming Milwaukee Brewers series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
