Twins (Ryan) Vs Royals (Dobnak) 8/4/26 6:40 CDT

[Mortimerkenny21]

A new day and some new faces/pitchers, let's see what these Twins can do. Really need to make some ground on the Royals. Hopefully Mr. Ryan can get his mojo back and is not completely out of steam. Go Twins!!

Ryan vs Dobnak.  Will we actually be able to hit Dobnak this time around.  Dobnak seems to have found the special pixie dust he had in 2019.

Right, ground ball outs left and right and pop fly outs. We couldn't hardly get a hit on the guy. Perhaps seeing him again so soon will help. Sorry Dobby, we're gonna light you up this time! Get him pulled in the 3rd or 4th inning.

The other thing is work the counts.  He nibbles,  there should be ample balls.  Don't create a ton of weak contact on 1-3 pitch at bats.

Don’t fall behind early.

[Parfigliano]

A little Dob I'll do ya.

The Twins really need a sweep here if they are going to make a serious run.  

[USAFChief]

Cmon, let's go 

Can't handle getting ***** slapped again by that no talent hack Dobnak.

LFG!!

Time to break out the rally sausage and go on a #roccorun

He upgraded from Uber to Uber Black

What's that Einstein quote about doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result being a definition of insanity?

Well sanity is over rated.

Let's score more runs off of Dobnak than they do off Ryan this time!

HRs. While Ryan struggled w/6 in 1 game, Wrolbeski with the Dodgers has given up 8 in the last two games.

 

4 last night. Everything was coming in fat. Arm fatigue or tipping.

Apparently Pablo is in the booth for this series.

Is Hoffman going to be available, I haven't seen a move of anyone being sent down.

I just spotted it on the Twins Transactions page - Rojas optioned, Hoffman activated.

There’s a Frank Thomas-Doug Flutie ad in here somewhere.
