With the AL Central Division title already secured, the Minnesota Twins won two of three at home against the Oakland Athletics, and they did so while trying out new lineup combinations and treating pitchers very, very carefully. David and Dan discuss how the Twins are using this time to prepare for the postseason, which begins after one final regular-season series this weekend. They look at the highlights on the field, like Matt Wallner's grand slam and Andrew Stevenson's dash around the bases, and they also look to the decisions Rocco is making now and how those might change in the Wild Card games. Dan wants to know whether Byron Buxton could return and be effective in centerfield, while David wonders whether Rocco will change his pinching ways in the postseason. They also look around the league at a series of milestones for coaches and players, both former and current. Thanks for listening, and go Twins.
