dynamite drop in Mike that broadcasting school is really paying off!

[bird]

 

I guess it took longer for millennials.

 

 

Because their parents insisted on scheduling toilet time.

[Riverbrian]

 

Another good Joe M conversation. Any chance you could work in Joe Mantegna or maybe even José Mesa, who I remember the folks on ESPN call him (the last time I watched ESPN) "Joe Table."

 

Mantegna is coming by early next week. I'm not sure how the guys will react tho.   

[Blake]

I love how the Twins broadcast started off with how bad Gibson has been.

 

Gives me the warm fuzzies, it does.

[Riverbrian]

 

And Joey McIntyre from NKOTB.

 

He'd be a new kid on that block. 

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

I'm Scott Stahoviak.

 

Will the real Scott Stahoviak please stand up?  Please stand up.

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'd probably avoid Jose Mesa all together. We have enough problems with choking as it is.  Don't want him getting any influence on the bottom half of our rotation or that abomination that is the pen.

In other news, the Vikings traded up in the second round to grab a RB...

 

Dalvin Cook. 

[mickeymental]

icht ein scott stahoviak.

[diehardtwinsfan]

woah...  Gibby with a swinging strike...

[GP830]

The Bereavement Death.

[diehardtwinsfan]

and with that, Gibson lowers his ERA by a half a run...

[Blake]

So, that was a good inning by Gibson? At least one hard hit ball that, were it not for positioning, would have gone through for a hit? Along with a couple of pitches to Cain that looked like they were right down the middle of the plate?

 

Seriously, Dick, Gibson survived the inning but that's about it. 

[stringer bell]

Nice first Gibson.

Baby steps... he put up a zero. 

[jimmer]

Our announcers said Hicks is used almost always as a right handed batter.

 

He has 3 more PAs batting left handed and he's batting better as a left handed batter.

 

Love the dedicated research they do before games to give us facts.

Random factoid...

 

 

Ervin Santana has allowed 13 hits.

 

 

Kyle Gibson has allowed 18 runs.

[IndianaTwin]

That's an area where I hope they didn't give a participation trophy.

They must be set on the OL

I do believe that belongs in the (not so) fun with numbers thread.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Gibson... stop this madness now!

[snepp]

Not-so-fun-with-numbers update:

 

 

Make that 20 runs.

[diehardtwinsfan]

[BoofBonser]

Perfect night for the NFL Draft, because Kyle Gibson is on the mound!
Good luck Twins, I'll be watching from afar...
See you soon J.O. Berrios, see you later Gibson

[drock2190]

Don't change anything, Gibson

[diehardtwinsfan]

Gibson is like the stomach flu... you know it's coming.  You try hard to suppress it... and then it happens.

[KirbyDome89]

Idk which is more annoying; the Royals still wearing those WS uniforms or watching Gibson "pitch."

[snepp]

Remember that time Gibson's ERA dropped below 9? Man that was an awesome 15 minutes.

[USAFChief]

A lesson in what happens when you combine lack of swing and miss stuff, lack of command, and lack of confidence.

I'm hoping Molitor comes to the mound with a printed boarding pass for Kyle on the next flight to Rochester.
