Game Thread: Twins vs. A's, 5/4 @ 12:10PM CT

[Danchat]

 

Gibson, Hughes, and our mystery 5th starter are all reasons why I am not ecstatic about our 14-11 start...

 

Don't get me wrong, I love competitive baseball for our squad and am pleased, but that's 3 big holes in my opinion.

Sano and ESan are carrying this team and they won't be able to do that for the whole season... we're going to need help from our other starters soon or things will go south.

Just turned the game on the radio....think I might just listen to a podcast instead...

[USAFChief]

 

Let's do another nickname game thread. How bout Kyle "in play, no out(s)" Gibson?

Sticking with the amusement park theme...

 

how about Kyle "merry-go-round" Gibson?

[Jerr]

I wonder IF, Berrios' control and pitches SUDDENLY look much better than the Twins' previous look at them?

[akmanak]

I really dont understand why Gibson is still a starter. With our good start this you would think management would try and tweak this team so we are running on all cylinders.

 

We have choices to replace Gibson. Duffy is pitching really well, but am on the fence if I would want to take him out of the bullpen.

 

I am just rambling....

[Pardon My Dinger]

So, dudes, Eddie Rosario's lookin' pretty pretttty pretttttty good right now. 

[GCTF]

I still hate him.

[DocBauer]

Someone was saying about DanSan today? Lol

[zenser]

Provus just said no activity in the Twins pen....

[Taildragger8791]

Danny....Santana....homerun? Is this the fun mirrors part of the amusement park?

[Jerr]

Really??? Santana obviously wants a starting role!!!

Gibbie, better not come back out.....................

Honest question:

 

Should I be excited that Santana hit a home run or should I be dismayed that he did something good, making a roster decision more difficult?

[John Kelsey]

Dammit I knew DanSan would do this today.

I've never been more upset about the Twins hitting a HR. 

[KirbyDome89]

Molitor is never going to let him go now.....

[King]

Who had a Danny Santana homer today?

[Jerr]

 

Provus just said no activity in the Twins pen....

Easy decision: Twins win: Santana is awesome!

                        Twins lose: Darn it, Santana!

Yes.

I was about to post something along the lines of how mad I get when he does something good. I took it back, though, but I feel ya.

Oh goody, we've got Gimenez and DanSan in the lineup today... don't think we'll have another home run derby today.

I was going to predict that DanSan was going to homer when I saw this ... I could have looked brilliant ... now I just look like an attention seeker.

[hybridbear]

DanSan his a HR! Let's DFA him! Lol

[lukeduke1980]

 

Kyle "Red Wing" Gibson

This might be brilliant

[Jerr]

Last chance for Gibbie to prove hisself????

[spinowner]

And now *I* just look like an attention seeker.

Get's faith from Molly to head back out in the 3rd and gives up a leadoff walk
