The Minnesota Twins split a four-game series with the Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. Despite fantastic starting pitching the Twins offense left much to be desired in games 3 and 4, only managing to score a combined 4 runs. The Twins retired the "W" of the Washington Senators in celebration of their 1924 World Series, and Dan can't resist the op-pun-tunities. The boys praise Rocco for his lineup positioning as well as his must-win bullpen usage in game 4. David wants to know if calling Bailey Ober an ace is appropriate, and Dan has unexplainable good vibes about the starting rotation for the remainder of the season. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
