In theory, Dobnak's what the Twins need. A rubber arm that can pitch multiple innings as a piggyback reliever. Just don't think the stuff is good enough for an extended stay in the majors.
Thought Dobber was the way to go last night. The 2-0 lead felt more like 22-0. Would like to have Alcala, Jax and Duran to close this one out. But, Dobber might get his shot.
What's the deal with Max? There's a love-hate thing with Max and TD but the Twins are better with him than they are without him. Hopefully not an IL stint.
Late to the party on this one. But nice to see a lead. Pablo battled. Mets' line up is tough. Only 3 hits is impressive. Now can the 'pen hold the lead?
They have the Sox coming up. In a perfect world, the Twins come back from this trip with a 3 GM lead for the final wildcard spot and then push that up to 5 GM over the weekend.
Pablo needs to be an ace today against a formidable lineup. 2 runs for the Mets might be all they need. Who knows, with the way the Twins are hitting, the Mets may only need to score 1.
I don't have any issues keeping Kepler. If he was dealt, it would've been for little in return. IMHO, the Twins are better with Max than they are without him.
