This is Where it Hurts (Twins-Athletics Series Recap, 8/24-8/26)

Send us Fan Mail

Much to the disappointment of David and Dan, and most certainly the Minnesota Twins as well, the Twins lose two of three in Sacramento to the Athletics, the team with the worst record in the American League. And to make it worse, Byron Buxton has aggravated his hip injury. David analyzes that play and worries that Luke Keaschall may not be up to the task of playing center field. Dan is curious if Derek Shelton has a little Herb Brooks in him, and David delves again into the murky waters of Walker Jenkins' call-up status. There is still hope, they agree, but that hope is slim, and much rides on the next stretch of series against AL Central teams. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
