Stupid leadoff walk and 3-1 meatball**

 

That too, but the leftfield wall here is kind of like playing ping-pong in a narrow room where the ground rule is you can play it off the wall. Fun, maybe, but not really the true game. And then you put a ladder on it. Kind of like mini-golf course.

[Dr. Evil]

****.

[amjgt]

Gibson this inning...

 

Pathetic

Also pretty damn unlucky

[David HK]

I dunno.  I think I might hate losing to these guys worse than the other Sox.

 

I really, really hate Boston sports.  All of 'em.  

 

Do they have a WNBA team?  I hope the Lynx kick their *** if they do.

[Aggies7]

Wow that was a 3-0 meatball Kyle got away with

[yarnivek1972]

Lucky call there

[David HK]

Welp.  It's official.

 

It's a Snapper Wheels-Come-Off Inning ®

 

Might as well get Belisle up.

 

Where's Bark these daze?  We need a logo for that one.

Gibson has awful body language.  Like, Jay Cutler awful. 

[70charger]

If we had known coming into this game that Gibson would pitch five innings with two earned runs, I think we would have been pretty happy to hear that.

 

Of course, watching him nibble and lose control is painful. So is giving up a lead.

Never looks comfortable

Somebody should make a Smokin Kyle.

 

Again, where's Bark when you need him?

[amjgt]

A double that would've been a fly out in any other park (compounded by the fact that it hit the ladder), an error by Polanco, a double play ball with nobody to cover 2nd, and a swinging bunt RBI, that could've been the 5th out, but was only the 2nd out.

[glunn]

Ending the inning with a K is good news. The wheels have come off the hot dog, but the Twins still have a good chance to win.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yeah some tough luck for Gibby that inning

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Trade Sano.

 

Who's with me?

The good news is that sano should be well prepared for the home run derby considering his normal every pitch swing

[amjgt]

Trade Sano.

He has super-duper sucked the last 3 weeks

Over/under on Sano check swings in the home run derby:

 

2.5

If you're going to do something, go all out is what I always say. May as well go for sucking too I suppose.

[spinowner]

If a new stadium were designed with a ladder like that it would be considered a travesty, an unacceptable gimmick. But Fenway lovers probably consider it a lovable quirk. Just another example of how most people way overrate Fenway as a baseball stadium.

10 for his last 53 with 19 Ks

I expect a better return than Dozier brought.

It's actually a really cool place to see a game. We played in an inflatable bubble with a hard green carpet for 30 years.

[David HK]

 

I am not saying he would be a Wade Davis type but with his stuff and knowing he doesn't have to save energy for 80 to 100 pitches. Kyle would make a top notch bullpen arm

That is exactly what should have happened coupla years back, when they made that ultra-stupid May to the Pen move.

[wsnydes]

Wow.

[Aggies7]

3-0 meatball.

 

Kyle has turned the corner!

[yarnivek1972]

3-0 meatball.

 

Kyle has turned the corner!

But did he turn the correct way?

[yarnivek1972]

On the plus side, the Twins squeezed 3 extra outs from Kyle. 3 less for the pen to get.

[Aggies7]

But did he turn the correct way?

I'm not sure where the showers are at Fenway
