Yet again the Minnesota Twins lose a series, this one a sweep at Target Field by the Atlanta Braves. The Twins are now solidly in third place in the AL Central and in third place in the AL Wild Card, with teams steadily gaining on them during this recent streak of eight losses in 10 games. David's optimism is at a season-low, and he has many critiques for Rocco Baldelli and Tommy Watkins. Dan is impressed with David Festa but little else. Both are still thinking this is a playoff team, but it is one with serious bullpen issues. And, in true Minnesota fashion, they recap where they were during the big storm during Game 1 that ruined Bailey Ober's day (though perhaps his day could have been worse?). Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
