I broke my arm in two places today.

 

Went to the emergency room, where the doctor took a look, and told me to stay out of those places.

Anytime I hear the opinion that the Twins need to pay up for a #3, I think of Zimmerman and Anibal Sanchez.

Which serves to remind me...how do you get a sweet little 90 year old lady to yell the F word at the top of her lungs?

You get another sweet little 90 year old lady to yell BINGO at the top of hers.

Zimmerman was pitching so poorly it was hard to watch, even as a fan of the opposing team.

I enjoyed every minute.

I missed it...who's this guy on the mound we added?

I think his name is Kyle "Wow, they really might replace me" Gibson.

Doc by day....Ninja by night

It's not like you gotta get up real early in the afternoon to ninja me, though.

I don't like watching any pitcher get screwed on great pitches to the corners. I can't wait for electronic calls for balls and strikes. That said, we've all seen Twins pitchers get screwed on those calls, especially earlier this season. Seeing the "luck" even out a little doesn't bother me too much. 

 

And then there's Kyle Gibson. See what I meant when I said he's got the stuff to dominate? This is almost like watching Gibson steal Santana's Zen mindset. He's throwing all his pitches for strikes, showing no pattern, and attacking the zone. 

 

Hey Kyle, when you're done today, give back Erv his little Zen doll. It's been missing from his locker for a couple weeks... ;-)

He just looks more comfortable and confident. Seems to be attacking the zone. Earlier in the season, with 2 on and 2 out, he'd have walked the bases loaded and allowed a big double.

Sano takes the one hanging slider meatball down the middle that was a strike.... all the other pitches were balls, but he swings at 2 of the 5 outside pitches and strikes out. Plate discipline is slipping as the season goes on.....

It always bothers me. Always has. It will be nice when the game is not affected by guessing umpires. It really does change every game drastically. Fans are just numb because it was always accepted that it was OK for umpires to get it wrong. Zimmerman got screwed all game, and Gibson was getting a bunch of miscalls. I guess that means that Zimmerman was horrible because the umpire was..... hmmmm.

I was just thinking about his approach during his rookie year when he went into so many deep counts. Now, it's like he doesn't want to take a walk. Maybe he's frustrated at being pitched around?

Do you think it's possible you're exaggerating a tad?
