Episode Details
Back to EpisodesGoodbye to those Hotels in California (Angels/Athletics series recap, 4/16-4/21)
Description
First no bats, then no pitching. Short a handful of players and with two games postponed due to COVID, the Twins go 0-4 in California. David and Dan both rag on the Twins for bringing in the infield with Mike Trout at the plate, and they wonder if this is the time when Rocco Baldelli finally just leaves Luis Arraez at the top of the lineup. They also discuss the few bright spots from week out West, like Josh Donaldson's smart play in the field against the Angels and his wicked bat in the finale against the As, as well as the continued success of Byron Buxton and Nelson Cruz. But the big question right now: Is this team actually bad?
Music: "Minnesota Twins Theme" (1961) written by Ray Charles and Dick Wilson. Arrangement and performance by Jason Cain.
