Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 4/23 @1:10pm CT

I picked a helluva game to come to.

Hopefully that is the LAST we will ever we gibson in a Twins uniform. Goes down as another bust in a long list of Twins first round busts.

Enjoy Rochester Kyle!

 

 

I heard the guy picked after him isn't too shabby

It's beyond time to move on from Gibson.  Last winter was the time to cut ties with him.  He's now earning more than 5X what we had to pay him last year.  What a waste of 7 years.  The guy has no heart and no command.

Gibsons

 

Woolworths

 

Neither are around anymore. 

 

Memo to Thad...

 

"And stay out of the Gibsons!!!"

 

[bighat]

 

Well, I had things to do anyway. Thanks Kyle!

 

I'm in Cartagena right now, and there's a beach and the Caribbean ocean right outside my window.  Reckon a little dip will improve the mood.  

 

Boshears making my decision easy.  Adios for now gang!

This disaster is now getting personal for me.  If my wife walks in and sees this score I'll be outside doing yard work.

Way to go Buddy!!!

 

Set that bar high!!

Who was that?

[DaveW]

So, yeah, Kyle Gibson.

 

How soon will Mejia be back in Minnesota? Two weeks? Three? The team can't continue to throw Gibson out there every fifth day.

Told everyone months before the season this would be the case. Guy has no biz being in the majors just like Santana. Between the two of them they have cost the Twins at least 5 games so far.

Here's the kicker, in the Twins interview this morning, Gibson said he's not going to change his approach.

[amjgt]

Add Dozier to the list of stellar defensive plays.

If we can't call that play (and sanò's play) an error then why do we even have the stat

[Oldgoat_MN]

 

The cherry on top with all of this is Buddy B. is coming in next!

The funny part is that Buddy Boshers could be the highlight of the Twins day.

[King]

Kyle Gibson is just not very good.

It must be hard to pull yourself away, but I'm glad you are going to try anyway...

[Halsey Hall]

Not much to be happy about this afternoon.  Gibby is a head case.

[Aggies7]

Not many teams can take the momentum of coming back to finally beat a cy young winner who always dominates you and turn it into two duds in a row

[Joe A. Preusser]

Kyle Gibson is just not very good.

Needs to go to AAA to try and get right.

Kind of amazing he would say that.  If he was pitching like Ervin I could see that maybe.  

[amjgt]

I see teams now have enough data to shift Kepler. Awesome

[LaBombo]

 

Needs to go to AAA to try and get right.

 

Or to keep getting it wrong until he's released, since (as someone else pointed out) he's 'committed to his approach' this year, which is apparently best described as " baserunners on parade".

Have a few micheladas for me. Some of the best I've ever had were on top of the Movich Hotel. Plus, it's pretty hard to beat that view.

[twinssporto]

Let's go Mauer with the power!

Yes, he's generating some attention.

[ScrapTheNickname]

T. Hunter oozes genuine positivity. I like it. He would make a fine coach, I think.

[LaBombo]

 

Kyle Gibson is just not very good.

 

And that perfectly sums up the problem. If he were terrible, they would have moved on by now. But he's shown just enough flashes of potential to keep the Twins invested.

 

That, and the Twins' remarkable ability to find pitchers who make Gibson look good by comparison.

Actually, I think it's THAT that perfectly sums up the problem.

Hey, Dinger ... I've been in and out ... due to being at work, but thank you for 'keeping me company.'

 

Did I miss your cats?
