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

[Patzky]

Won't say we solved Dobnak but he's working up a sweat.

[RpR]

Twins hitting the ball to infielders was a huge problem last year, deja vu?

[Over The Hill Again]

I don’t know exactly what it is but Keaschall doesn’t run “smoothly “ a lot of the time

He just runs like he is angry at the ground

[MMMordabito]

Oh yeah, Tom, you got a GM named JayZee and now you have cred (maybe even clout) 😄

Wow, Pohlad said payroll will increase?! Time to put your money where your mouth is!

[S Bart]

Tom is emotional...now get players like Skubal....Dodgers better get nervous..Pohlads are opening the wallet

It would be one hell of a maneuver to not increase it at this point

[SS MagicMark]

We seem to have the outfielders properly positioned this inning. 

[S Bart]

Dobnak will depart next inning...he seems to be fading

Hershiser breathed a sigh of relief. That was getting crazy!

Let’s say Larnach is elsewhere as is Jeffers. I’d be curious where the focus would be to add. I very much think they need a real middle of the order bat, and am excited for promotions of top prospects. But getting a legit bullpen and getting Pablo back (and maybe more starting pitching too depending on how other guys progress) would be nice.

But yeah, if Jeffers doesn’t accept the qo, and Larnach moves on, then they will have a lot of money to spend if they truly are going to raise payroll

This doesn't help in the field when chasing fly balls, too much head/eye movement...

Who knows what’s been living in that unopened wallet for the past 39 years.

A frontline starter and a 1B with a war hammer would be on my shopping list

I've had my fill of floor-setting moves.  Let's raise the ceiling

Our bats sure take a lot of meat. 

[ashbury]

So far, these deadline deals for bullpen help haven't changed anything one bit.

No batting help which was what we really needed.

Throwing a lot more pitches per inning than he did the other day.

More than a quality start by Dobnak

[thelanges5]

12 innings against the Dobber and 1 run to show for it. ****

[h2oface]

No cigar for Bell. 

[Patzky]

Jeez didn't know it was that hot out there. Ish.

Even without the five double plays he had last time. None tonight.
