The Minnesota Twins lose 2 of 3 to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson and tries his best to bring David back from the brink of leaving baseball for cricket. The boys discuss the dreadful performance of the Twins offense in the entirety of the series, and the surprising performance of the bullpen in game 1. David is upset that Rocco isn't upset enough with the way the team is performing, and Hoges thinks Falvey and Levine don't deserve the free pass that David and Dan offered last episode. The boys give their predictions for the Twins postseason chances and while David is unconvinced, Hoges tries to play both sides of the issue. The guys finish up with a discussion of Shohei Ohtani's remarkable season and make their picks for the upcoming Marlins series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
