Gardy.... just let Gibson have the opportunity to work out of jams... this isn't even a jam. He'll never be able to go past the fifth inning if you give him the hook so quickly.

Did these pitchers not get enough work in Spring Training? To a man, they have run out of gas in the 6th inning. I blame Worley. Don't give guys innings in the spring if they have zero chance of making the team. You should know that going into the spring.

Turn around Santana, that makes sense. He kills lefties.

Oh Gardy is smarter than I am.

[Guest USAFChief]

Mauer has gotten the ball out of the infield in 17% of his PA this season.

Whew...and here I thought he'd been struggling.

[stringer bell]

Well a clean sixth didn't happen. But no damage done.

You just got Gardenhowered

97 pitches, but they should have left Gibson in there imo. He looked pretty good just needs to get the wasted pitches down. Reminded me of Baker today, nibbling or not getting close 0-2 and 1-2.

[Guest USAFChief]

Honestly ... that looks a little like Sao Paolo

Another Cuban free agent the Twins should've signed.

These radio ads are doing their trick ... I really want some licorice, and some Sheboygan sausage, then go test drive a Taurus and stop at Kwik Trip on my way to the Harley Davidson dealership and Treasure Island Casino.

He did seem to be jerking the afastball around. But, when he did throw a strike, nobody could really square him up. Not a gem but I'll take it.

Don't you start with me ... I'm doing my best trying to be at work today.

It's cold out, it's the beginning of the season, meh ... I'm okay with him coming out today. Next month in the same situation? Probably not.

Gardy has never worked his starters long enough in the spring. He has guys going 5 innings when other teams are going 7.

[Physics Guy]

Not that we didn't know this, but Willingham is really slow.

And just when I thought I could trust you to hold my credit card while I went swimming or something.

Easily the most depressing thing that's ever occurred in my life.

Nah, that's just for shoe shopping.

[stringer bell]

BTW, trade Duensing now! His value has to be at it's peak.

Well, now you have your scale set for any future comparisons.

How do you expect to get 150 innings out of your starters through the long, long season if you burn em out in spring training?

With the way our staff has been the past three years that would be my goal.

[stringer bell]

Also, BTW, Plouffe looks quite a bit better at third IMHO.

[stringer bell]

Trade him now!

[zchrz]

Wow Kubes that was ugly

Nice looking swing by Floor-E-Mon.
