Why did Dobnak only pitch one inning?

I think that was the true plan, use him as the “opener”, then let Thorpe be the “main” pitcher

[Wilbur]

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.

Oh ok, was hoping he didn't get hurt or something.

[SWSiouxMN]

Nice job by May to pitch a scoreless 6th.  The HR in the 5th was 50/50 his fault/good hitting

[jodcon]

Chicago scores 4 to take the lead in Cleveland. 

[Wilbur]

Boy......hope they are right bringing in Dyson.....I would have stayed with Duffy.....

And......walk.....

Devers.....bring in Smeltzer right?

[SWSiouxMN]

Dyson got his inning

Rogers for the 4 out save attempt.

[SWSiouxMN]

Rocco has made the right moves, just has gotten burned both times.

[Wilbur]

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

[jodcon]

Indians lose. Could be a big night.

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

[Wilbur]

Someone needs to go have a laugh with Rodgers and say "hah, Cleveland lost, all positive from here....go have fun Taylor."

[SiouxFan100]

Buxton in

[Wilbur]

Guy has to be bunting right?

Yup. 

[jodcon]

Was hoping not to see Devers and Bogearts this inning. Spelling questionable.

[jodcon]

Awesome. Chop 2 more off the magic number.

Those two guys in that stadium....scary.

[Wilbur]

The last two games have shown the importance of the revamped bullpen.  The addition of Dyson and Romo as well as Duffy and May finding their groove has been a huge difference.

Five innings tomorrow Jose......just five.....

[sioux rube]

Magic number down to 18 with the Indians losing 

[jodcon]

Lot of work to do tonight,  down 4 and the Tribe up 4.

[UNDMOORHEAD]

I thought Cave should've bunted with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs.

Yeah me too, with this teams power cutting the lead in half makes it a long ball here and there to a new game. 1 or 2 runs would have helped there.

[Wilbur]

Cleveland saved by a great play in center field and they barely hang on against the Sox. 

Maybe one inning too many for Berrios, but they have to try and get him rolling down the stretch some how.

If Arraez can get on it could get interesting......great AB.....great AB.  I love watching him hit. 

[Wilbur]

That'll do it.  No wasted bullpen arms, so tomorrow when Perez pitches they should be able to piece it together if he keeps it close.  If he blows up and the team doesn't have a prayer we can watch Littell pitch the night away.

7-2 road trip thus far.  Can't remember a Twins team that was better on the road. 

[southpaw]

If we hit the playoffs tomorrow, does Berrios even get a start? What would you do with him?
