Yeah, nothing you can do.....I would have brought in Smeltzer to save Rodgers for the 9th, but that's me.

This is a good situation for the Twins. A good late inning test against a good lineup.

Boy......hope they are right bringing in Dyson.....I would have stayed with Duffy..... And......walk..... Devers.....bring in Smeltzer right?

Thorpe was rolling, had to let him go back out there. Now is a true test for the bullpen. Two run lead in the 6th.

I see what ya did there......Dobnak goes one, then Thorpe.....mix and match the whole game...... So far so good.

Agreed. And we know the Nickel isn't coming back.

Waking up years ago as a kid on a cool fall Saturday morning I just knew it was Sioux-Bison day by how my dad was acting. Wearing his patented UND sweatshirt and just on edge until kickoff and until the final second ticked off the clock. It's not the same, but you can't say it isn't a rivalry. Their fans wouldn't be on our message board and vice versa if it wasn't some kind of rivalry. Their fans wouldn't be yelling Sioux suck in Frisco if it wasn't a rivalry.

Dobnak to start tomorrow in Boston. I'll set the over under at 3 innings. If he can go four it gives them a chance.

We won't leave our secret weapon in Grand Forks.

Without Rudolph as our OC, I think this time we will attempt a forward pass.

Amen! Attack mentality all afternoon in Fargo.

Good win over a team that only tries against the Twins. Six of seven on the road against teams you should beat. Now try to win a series in Beantown.

Nice to have a reliable vet that takes the ball and doesn't walk people. Being able to throw his junk for strikes is what impresses me the most about him.

I love NDSU-UND week! Cheers!

Or got arrested at a Redhawks game....

Completely agree. With a low strikeout guy and decent speed you have to send the runner. Its 1st and 3rd zero outs if he goes.

Would you have sent Wade on the 3-2 pitch???

Lamonte Wade Jr pinch hits. Shows the confidence they have in Castro hitting.......and he walks......

They definitely need to switch up the scheduling. Like you said 19 times against the Detroits and the KCs......yuck. I'd be for every team playing all the NL and AL teams at least one series a year.

Funny thing is that the Twins have a good, but not great record against the AL Central with how poor those bottom three teams are. Look at Houston's record against the AL Central. Completely agree it's a weak division, but they've played their division much better for whatever reason.

Five and a half games up.....magic number is now 21. Lots of reasons to be optimistic in Minnesota. Getting some guys back and expanded roster is huge. Having Austidillo means you can DH Garver to keep his bat in the lineup. Having extra arms around for our patented 5 inning starts.......nice.

Welcome to the big leagues Mr. Graterol. That fastball is such a weapon when he can throw it on the black. Just casually hits 100 mph.....slider needs a bit of work, but what 21 year old kid not named Liriano has a perfect slider? If he can get outs in the late innings down the stretch......

First pitch 100 mph.....

And here we go with Graterol.....

Okay Rocco, zero reason to screw around here. Dyson doesn't have it, get him out and get Duffy or Romo in there.
