Episode Details
Back to EpisodesThe Once and Future Shortstop (Athletics Series Recap, 5/16-5/18)
Description
Royce Lewis helps lead the Twins to a series victory, and his reward is ... a demotion to Triple-A? David and Dan discuss the shortstop swap of a now-healthy Carlos Correa for the player who looks to be the future shortstop for the Minnesota Twins. David rises again to question the lack of late-game usage of Byron Buxton, while Dan is apparently paid by the Twins to buy the company line about preserving the centerfielder for the future. They also question why Josh Winder wasn't given a chance for a bounce-back start, and they discuss what Gary Sanchez' play does for a lineup that is finally getting healthier again. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
