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

[Pitz]

I wish Kyle Gibson was better at pitching.

[David HK]

OK, being +50, sometimes get beckoned by nature during the night- which prompted me to check the score-  even knowing Gibby was on the mound.  

 

I'm going to cry myself back to sleep now.

 

Gibby....  sheesh.....

[twinssporto]

With Gibson wetting the bed I thought they would have brought up Berrios versus Tepesch.  Maybe they both come up and Gibby is gone?

[rghrbek]

On the plus side Gibby has above norm k/9 for him today

[FunnyPenguin]

Kyle "All-over" Gibson....in more than one way probably  

[twinssporto]

I wonder if Kyle is related to Debbie Gibson (the 1980's pop singer)?

[David HK]

Man, the sounds of those A's bats on Gibby's pitches--

 

He gets squared up more than anyone, ever.

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?

Weirdly enough, historically Gibson does drastically worse when his strikeout rate goes up. So I'm not sure I'd even be encouraged about that anymore.

[Jham]

I have it on good authority (the past 5 years of Twins transactions) that Merry go Round Gibson has been pitching with shoulder inflammation all year and will be placed on the DL until he learns to pitch bet... until his shoulder is healthy again.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Anyone else see this guy in their mind's eye every time the camera pans over to Lieutenant Molitor?

 

[rghrbek]

7 hits in 3 innings...and counting

[Squirrel]

 

Sticking with the amusement park theme...

 

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

If that's the ride you want to get off of every, single time, then concur. If not, disconcur.

[Taildragger8791]

Personally, I couldn't live with myself if I were bested in competition by a guy named 'Jaff'.

[Mike Sixel]

 

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

 

Post of the year, nominee, this is.

It's the ride I never want to get on, in the first place.

[Danchat]

We could use Justin Haley right now...

You can't give up on Gibson so soon! Look what happened with Oswaldo Arci....er...ummmm....... never mind.

[Taildragger8791]

Is he even capable of getting a strike that isn't a foul ball?

[Jerr]

Gladden just said this could be a big confidence booster for Gibson....hang on......

[USAFChief]

Don't care about the results.  Leaving Gibson in with bases loaded, one out, is poor managing.

[Whammy]

 

Kyle "Red Wing" Gibson

 

Kyle "6 seam" Gibson

breathe.....

[rghrbek]

Never was a doubt...

You just made me go look up what he's up to now. Looks like he's enjoying the good life in the PCL where he gets to put up video game numbers all day. Hitting .350/.409/.725/1.134.
