The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 on the road against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. "The Chaos" Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David for the last time during this stretch as Dan Thompson returns from Europe. The guys discuss their issues with soccer, but also their joy in cheering on the USA in the World Cup. Hoges believers Caratini should be credited with earned runs after a big mistake in game 2, and both guys are baffled as to why Tristan Gray is still on this team. David thinks Royce Lewis' deficiencies are becoming a bigger problem at 1st base, and Hoges continues to be frustrated at Derek Shelton's handling of the bullpen. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins!
