Back to EpisodesThe Thick Yellow Line (Diamondbacks Series Recap, 6/17-6-19)
Description
The Twins head to the desert and come up with just one win in a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a disappointing outcome in the eyes of David and Dan. They look back at a homer-heavy series at which Dan was in attendance for all three games. Dan offers his assessment of the gameday experience at Chase Field in Phoenix, and David asks the elephant-in-the-room question about why exactly there is a line across the centerfield wall. They dissect Rocco Baldelli's use of the team's pitchers and wonder whether Devin Smeltzer is going to turn it around next series after a rough Game 1 in Arizona. They also consider the Twins' roster options whenever Jorge Polanco comes back, and David asks whether the Twins should get the gang back together, starting with the recently released Sergio Romo. Thanks for listening, and go Twins.
