Rich Hill was supposed to make his Minnesota Twins debut this afternoon, but the Twins decided to give him a few extra days and slot him into the fifth starter spot. Randy Dobnak will be tasked with picking up his teammates, a familiar role for the right-hander.LAST NIGHT’S GAME RECAP

MIN 10, CHW 5: Kepler Blasts 2 Bombas, Twins Outlast White Sox

 

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Do you like the cardboard cutouts in the stands, or would you rather they just be completely empty?

 

TODAY

Twins at White Sox, 1:10 pm CT

Betting Lines: MIN -1.5, -118, 9.5 O/U

 

Twins: Randy Dobnak, RHP

Dobnak basically gained instant notoriety due to both his performance and incredible back story. It’s amazing to think he’s developed such an identity across Twins Territory despite logging just 30 1/3 innings with the Twins (including the postseason).

 

Dobnak faced the White Sox in his second MLB game. He gave up two unearned runs on five hits over three innings out of the bullpen. With Odorizzi on the IL and now Hill being pushed back, the team’s rotation depth is already being tested. Good thing this club has as good of backup options.

 

Here’s an update on Odorizzi and Hill from Dan Hayes of The Athletic:

To answer the question of the day, I do not care either way about the cutouts.  People paid money to have them.  The money goes to charity and not ownership so I am fine with it.  

 

On another note, that Sox line up looks like they will put up some good runs.  Their defense and pitching is what will hold them back.

I don't mind the cutouts. In fact, I kinda like them better than the empty seats, just from a TV perspective. I think if I were a pitcher it would bother me. For example, if one of the pictures was getting under your skin, it's just gonna stay there and look at you with those empty eyes the whole game....

 

No Buxton again, disappointing. I saw a quote a few days ago where he said he was "feeling more confident", which you can translate to mean: He'll be back in 1.5 weeks. The Twins are so careful with this guy, if they keep winning they might not put him in until mid August.

 

Disappointed to see Arraez on the bench but there is a lefty on the mound. And Adrianza, despite being the team's ultimate "B Squad" player, has often dazzled in these situations.

 

Would like to see a couple big hits from Donaldson/Sano today. Get off the schnide.
