Send us a Text Message.Hosting the team with the best record in the Majors, the Minnesota Twins took two of three at Target Field to win a series over the Philadelphia Phillies, and Dan and Hoges can hardly believe it. But they agree: Considering how many players are missing from the Twins' roster, this was an impressive series win in which Minnesota played the better brand of baseball. Still, they have many critiques for Rocco Baldelli, largely surrounding his pinch hitting tendencies and hi...
