The Minnesota Twins have climbed to the top of not just the divisional standings but that of the entire American League after taking two of three in Toronto against the Blue Jays. David and Dan are trying to enjoy the sound performances from Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley and most of the lineup, though a few spots there -- and the whole of the bullpen -- are suspect. David praises manager Derek Shelton for how he has handled the bullpen, while Dan is wondering about the choice to keep trotting James Outman into the outfield. The boys also look around the league, specifically at the statue unveiling outside T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

This year's Minnesota Twins already accomplished something last year's team never did: They swept a four-game series. David and Dan recap all the many celebratory moments, including big hits from Brooks Lee, Josh Bell and Royce Lewis, leaving both David and Dan to wonder: Is this team going to be competitive this season? Dan asks whether the Twins should be aggressive in offering contracts to seven of the team's best young players, while David is pleasantly surprised by how well Derek Shelton has made this bullpen work so far. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!

On a cold day at Target Field, the Minnesota Twins won their home opener, and then promptly went cold at the plate, losing two of three against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. David is enamored of the start by Simeon Woods-Richardson and impressed by the play of Tristan Gray. But he wonders just how long Twins fans will need to wait to see Kaelen Culpepper playing shortstop for the Twins. Dan laments the missed chances at the end of Game 3 and asks what Kody Clemens is doing at the top of the lineup. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
