Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins had surged over .500 to the top of the American League, but after another series loss -- this one in New York City, to the Mets -- David and Dan aren't so sure what this team is capable of anymore. David can't even blame manager Derek Shelton for the bullpen, because who is he supposed to go to? Dan is wondering whether any of the younger players who made promising debuts this week could be the answer. They discuss how the Twins should proceed with Matt Wallner and how they can find the magic they had for the first three weeks. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins are swept by the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Target Field. David and Dan discuss the problems with this roster that finally caught up to the Twins in this series. David struggles to remember who is on the roster and how to pronounce their names, while Dan wonders if we'll see new names added to this roster in the next couple of weeks.

Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins continue their winning ways taking 2 of 3 from the Boston Red Sox at Target Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David in studio and is just as surprised as David regarding the Twins early season success. David wants to know if Derek Shelton just prefers to leave things alone, and Hoges wants to know which part of the Twins roster is soon to turn back into a pumpkin. The boys discuss their newfound love of the ABS challenge system, and make their picks for the upcoming Reds series.

Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins have climbed to the top of not just the divisional standings but that of the entire American League after taking two of three in Toronto against the Blue Jays. David and Dan are trying to enjoy the sound performances from Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley and most of the lineup, though a few spots there -- and the whole of the bullpen -- are suspect. David praises manager Derek Shelton for how he has handled the bullpen, while Dan is wondering about the choice to keep trotting James Outman into the outfield. The boys also look around the league, specifically at the statue unveiling outside T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail This year's Minnesota Twins already accomplished something last year's team never did: They swept a four-game series. David and Dan recap all the many celebratory moments, including big hits from Brooks Lee, Josh Bell and Royce Lewis, leaving both David and Dan to wonder: Is this team going to be competitive this season? Dan asks whether the Twins should be aggressive in offering contracts to seven of the team's best young players, while David is pleasantly surprised by how well Derek Shelton has made this bullpen work so far.

Send us Fan Mail On a cold day at Target Field, the Minnesota Twins won their home opener, and then promptly went cold at the plate, losing two of three against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. David is enamored of the start by Simeon Woods-Richardson and impressed by the play of Tristan Gray. But he wonders just how long Twins fans will need to wait to see Kaelen Culpepper playing shortstop for the Twins. Dan laments the missed chances at the end of Game 3 and asks what Kody Clemens is doing at the top of the lineup. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail Mother Nature clearly conspired with Major League Baseball to tilt the scales against the Minnesota Twins in this series, as they lose two of three to the Kansas City Royals at the occasionally wet and foggy Kaufman Stadium. David sees the glimmer that was Taj Bradley's start, while Dan wonders whether there might be true depth to the lineup with the hitting performances of Josh Bell and Matt Wallner in this series. They both are enjoying the ABS challenge system and wonder how long it will be before robo umps take over the job full time. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins open their season on the road against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The boys discuss Derek Shelton's first series as manager, and their surprise at the competence shown by the bullpen. David wants to know if Shelton is going to get the team back on track when it comes to fundamentals, and Dan is both impressed and unimpressed by Royce Lewis.

Send us Fan Mail The Minnesota Twins season is here, and so are David, Dan and Hoges with their predictions and analysis. Hoges has little optimism left and expects that the Twins will trade their best players by mid summer. David thinks the best hope the Twins have is in their long-haired second baseman. Dan has hope that the Twins' current plan at shortstop is going to work out better than its plan did last year. As the guys look over the schedule, David points to May 10 as a key date. They also talk about the automatic ball-strike system and how the Twins' schedule shapes up as far as road trips. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail With just a few days to go before the season opener, David and Dan discuss the end of the World Baseball Classic, the 2026 rule changes and the final shuffling of the Minnesota Twins roster. Dan thinks the WBC should be moved to an extended All-Star Break; David thinks the rule changes mostly make sense. But the Twins bench and bullpen are still considerable question marks for a team that David and Dan are both hoping will surprise this season. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail The World Baseball Classic is heading into the quarterfinals after a round of pool play that was memorable for many reasons, including the "misspeak" by Team USA manager Mark DeRosa. David and Dan do the math themselves and discuss whether they are rooting for the juggernaut or the underdog the rest of the way. Dan has a complaint about his new hat; David is focused more on the glut of lefthanded players on the Minnesota Twins roster. Just two weeks to go until spring training, and despite what the weather might suggest, it's nearly time for baseball. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

Send us Fan Mail On the heels of the Olympics, the World Baseball Classic is nearly here, and David and Dan are excited about the chance to continue rooting for the United States, especially with Byron Buxton on the roster. They look around the league to see how the automated balls and strikes system is going while diving into the rosters of the WBC. They also look at the Minnesota Twins' roster, which is taking shape, even if there are more open spots and unknowns than there have been in many years. David is curious who will actually close games out of the bullpen, and Dan wonders how much room there is in the outfield -- and whose names will soon be on the jerseys available at the Twins online shop.

Send us Fan Mail For as little as the Minnesota Twins roster has meaningfully changed this offseason, its front office and coaching staff has undergone substantial change. The latest move was the "mutual" departure of Derek Falvey, who had been with the organization for a decade, making key baseball decisions. Dan and Hoges discuss what can be made of the change and what it says about the frayed short-term future of the Twins, who appear destined for a sub-.500 season in 2026. Both Dan and Hoges are looking at a 2027 lockout as being more and more likely, which for the Twins might turn out to be just fine, given their current trajectory. Still, there is hope on the horizon with a handful of key prospects ready to play this season ... but who is going to pitch out of the bullpen? Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
