Send us a Text Message.On the heels of a frustrating loss a couple days earlier, the Minnesota Twins throw away Game 2 of a series with the San Diego Padres and end up winning just one of three where David and Dan are quite sure the Twins could have left with another victory. They place the blame pretty squarely at the feet of manager Rocco Baldelli, whose bullpen management was cautious at best during the middle game.

Send us a Text Message.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 boys praise Rocco for his lineup positioning as well as his must-win bullpen usage in game 4. David wan...

David was in attendance for the lone victory and shares his fond memories and positive experiences from Wrigley Field.

Filling in for David, Hoges argues that the Pohlads deserve pretty much all of the blame for the Twins not making a move at the deadline and that they deserve the criticism that has come their way.

Still, they have many critiques for Rocco Baldelli, largely surrounding his pinch hitting tendencies and hi...
