The Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Target Field. Correa, Buxton, and Lewis were all on the field together for the first time since July 2nd, but the Twins couldn't manage a victory to celebrate. David wants to know if Correa is anywhere near 100% healthy, while Dan wants to know when the front office decided that 2025 was a more realistic year for the Twins to make a run in the postseason. David is furious at Rocco Baldelli and Jorge Alcala for combining forces to lose game 1, and Dan feels that Brooks Lee is getting unwarranted hate online from Twins Twitter. The boys look at the standings and David continues his German travel plans as the Tigers' postseason hopes are still alive. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins

A healthy David returns to discuss the Minnesota Twins' much-needed series victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels, and he has plenty to say. What was Rocco Baldelli doing with the bullpen in Game 3? What got into Kyle Farmer? These are questions David and Dan explore as they sigh a little relief at the Twins' encouraging performance in this series, from which they emerge still as a playoff team. Dan asks what the team can expect from Zebby Matthews the rest of the way, while David wonders whether Byron Buxton's return this weekend could possibly coincide with the return of Carlos Correa. They keep tabs on the rest of the playoff hunt, as well as Shohei's quest for 50/50. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins lose another series, this one a sweep at the hands of the rival Kansas City Royals, and now the panic has set in. Dan covers the series solo as David recovers from illness and Hoges returns from an unknown adventure, and he tries to keep an even keel about this reeling team. He tries to understand what Rocco Baldelli was thinking in Game 2 with his pitching management. He looks at what might be at the root of Royce Lewis' struggles. And he makes a few outlandish comparisons, because no one is there to criticize him for it. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
