Episode Notes
The Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 from the visiting Correa-less Houston Astros. The Twins lean on great starting pitching and do just enough offensively to take games 1 and 3. The boys discuss the starting pitching depth that continues to surprise as Zebby Matthews turns in another great outing. Hoges wants to know why Derek Shelton hasn't made more of an impact on the team compared with years previous, and David is curious how Shelton will handle SWR moving forward. David wants to know what Hoges needs to see for the Twins to recall Royce Lewis, and Hoges expresses his frustration with the Twins recent roster moves. Thanks for listening, and as always, go #MNTwins!
