While playing with a depleted starting rotation, the Minnesota Twins came home and won two of three against the Chicago White Sox, staying afloat in the middle of the AL Central Division and just a couple games back in the Wild Card. The bullpen continues to be in flux -- Kody Funderburk returned to St. Paul for some reason yet again -- but the Twins continue to find ways to mind the gaps. David wants to see the Twins rearrange the infield, while Dan is pleased to hear what Derek Shelton said about Royce Lewis. Both David and Dan aren't exactly sure what to make of shortstop Tristan Gray and Ryan Kreidler, though for very different reasons. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

A road trip that started with a sweep ends with a sweep, as the Minnesota Twins lose all three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates. David and Dan discuss the road back to .500, which looks like a difficult one considering all the pitching injuries and the strain on the depth of the starting rotation. David wants to know how the Twins are addressing all of the Pirates' stolen bases, while Dan wants to see more prospects make their way to the Majors. There were positive performances for sure (by Brooks Lee and Kody Clemens), but the struggles were many in this series. They both try to stay a little bit optimistic. After all, there are still four months of baseball. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

The Minnesota Twins drop 3 of 4 to the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and the boys talk about the rough series for the Twins after just sweeping the Boston Red Sox. Hoges thinks the Twins aren't being fair to SWR, and David wants to know when it's time to recall Royce Lewis. Hoges is optimistic about the Twins chances to return .500, while David is still skeptical. Thanks for listening, and as always, go #MNTwins ! #MinnesotaTwins
