I am concerned about Chris Giminez. He doesn't seem to be able to keep his ERA below 9 for very long at a time. Does he have minor league options? Perhaps he can get his pitching repertoire together w

Disappointment seems to be the theme of the day around Twins Daily.  I am personally disappointed in my game record, as I’m still winless. We are disappointed that the team is in first place, disappoi

Gibson has to be frustrating to everyone not just Gibby himself. 

 

Molitor is trying to give him a major league job and Gibson keeps not taking the offer. 

 

I assume Molitor is an advocate for Gibson and when you go against the grain while advocating... poor performance is going to cause a stronger reaction to it. 

 

Bottom Line: It will be much harder to go back to the table and say... "I think Gibson is coming around".

 

Gibson is slipping out of the majors before our eyes. 

 

The interesting thing about Gibson is that except for his poor walk rate, his metrics at least superficially say that he's not pitching much worse than when he was effective.  He's allowing a much higher batting average on balls in play and his strand rate is worse, but both should theoretically normalize somewhat, and other numbers like his K rate are right on.

 

And then you watch him pitch, and you can see how much more often hitters tee up and tattoo the ball. His home run rate alone is nearly double what it was at his best. At this point he's a cross between the worst version of Kevin Slowey and Charlie Brown when he gets his clothes knocked off by a line drive.

Uh-oh... that run out there belongs to Gibby.  I hope Duff can keep him from scoring, so Gib still gets to give up the same number of runs as innings pitched....

We're still talking about a chocolate factory, right?

Well, I was talking about the movie when I typed that. The timing was unfortunate. Or fortunate depending on your perspective.

I'm firmly convinced Kyle Gibson made a deal with the devil at some point. That's the only explanation I have for how he is in line to earn a fourth win with an ERA close to seven.

 

 

Hey..... six runs to give up is nothing for this bullpen. They can take care of that in a couple innings. Maybe even one. He he's not in the clubhouse yet!

Made me laugh but I just couldn't bring myself to like this comment.

Gibby needs to toss a Lawrence Welk inning: Annuh one, annuh two, annau tree...

 

And as soon as I type that he's yanked. Sigh.

He fell down on his knees at the wrong crossroads.

I was thinking we have our secret weapon in the pen to slam the door, but Giminez pitched last night, so he's probably not available.
