Dobnak giving TWins a great chance to win, but the 'd' and the hitters are having no part of it.

It's 57o and raining for the second day all day in Arizona and the game started too early and it's a boring game and it's a sluggish game and I'm bored and it's raining in Arizona all day for the second day so we need a hit a big fly a hit and a big fly and walk and another big fly and another big fly to get to 300 and then clinch and then win 100 wins and then on to the playoffs this game is boring and it's cold and it's raining

Was there any particular reason Gardy pulled Norris?

 

Gladden said Norris had a season goal for innings pitched and didn't want to exceed it. Health related apparently.

[VATwinsFan]

61 pitches to get through 5 innings.

 

Not bad.

lol - We better play the last four innings of this game 'just in case', right, my brother? :-)

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Jorge!!! Let's keep it going here!!!!!

[notoriousgod71]

This team is locked in right now.

[big dog]

Well,that inning was a little underwhelming.

[Pius Jefferson]

Absolutely pathetic. 

[LVTwinsfan]

We need Kepler soon

Watch, Rocco unnecessarily trot someone else out there to start the 6th. 

[BD57]

Dobnak has earned a shot at starting, IMO.

[wabene]

Dobnak game 1 starter

Dick and Roy don't think run differential means anything.

That's just ignorant. Run differential is extremely important. If you score more than you allow, you're bound to win a bunch of games...

 

There's a reason no playoff team has a negative run differential.

Haha - Phewwww... I guess he noticed how easy Dobnak is making it look...

[MNT1996]

Dobnak is the antithesis of Gibson. And I love it.

[notoriousgod71]

Jesus, now Dick thinks Dobnak has a shot to go nine innings.

[John Kelsey]

He is carving through this lineup. 

[Danchat]

Just checking in... here's hoping this game is going to go like yesterday's. Just need a 4 run inning soon.

[bighat]

 

Twins haven't scored a run in 13 of the 14 innings this series. 

 

Very Twins-like. A well-timed bomba following a walk would be nice pretty darn soon here.

[wabene]

Dobnak just peppering the zone baby!!

DFA both of them!!!!!

[FlauerPauer]

No way Cabrera retires until he gets to 500 homers.

 

Edit: Add 3000 hits to that as well.

[Squirrel]

Omg, a Twins pitcher that went 6!

[MNT1996]

This guy started the season in high A ball. Amazing

[Brian450]

Only one measly hit allowed in 6 dominant innings.  Dobnak looking the goods...

[wabene]

Again Dobnak can just scrap the multi surface cleaner on his gift registry and get his gal a cleaning crew
