Hahaha, good on Dobnak beating the odds and just continuing to show up in MLB. I like the Twins chances here, but you never know.

The win last night was obviously fantastic, but the way it went down (9th inning comeback) has some tangible benefits that linger into today (or perhaps tomorrow).

If we had gotten a ho-hum 3-2 win, we most likely would've used our best relievers to secure the win. Depending on how many pitches they threw, they might not be available today and certainly if they were used again today, they wouldn't be available tomorrow.

And beyond that, the Royals DID use all of their best relievers. Not only did our hitters get a chance to take AB against them, they are now less available the rest of the series.

This feels like something that has happened the opposite direction a decent amount to the Twins the last few years. Blow the first game of a series and have it linger throughout the series.

Dang!  Look at Dobby with the flashy ERA!

Time to pound Dobnak in inning one.

Ya gotta have hope.

Miles, apparently.

Is that what hope is measured in these days?

Anyway, some of us seem to hope for more reasonable things than others.

And he's got more hair down below apparently.

 

(meaning under the chin)

 

ps. Anyone else think of the big bad wolf? "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin. You can't fool us with your old sheep skin"

Will be curious if to see if the Royals rest Vinnie tonight. Dang, he hit a long foul ball last night.

Interesting players pitching matchup ... Love it.

I wish Witt, Jr.  was playing too, but you can't have everything.

The game is accessible for everyone tonight.

Go Twins!
