Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 4/26/18 @ 12:05 PM CT

I'm worried. The Twins have spent all day against a very hitable Montgomery and haven't much to show for it. A 2-0 lead ain't much against these Yanks, especially in this bandbox.

 

Gibby's looking good but the offense really needs to tack on  just a couple more.

Does Dozier pop out more than he doesn't, or is it just my imagination?  Apparently he's trying to get a 100 degree launch angle down pat

 

A 100 degree launch angle would be a foul pop, right? Or is that too much math? 

 

(I'll save y'all the keystrokes -- "Yes.")

 

[Danchat]

GROSSMAN!!!

[Aggies7]

Let’s GOOOOOOOOOO Robbie!

Yes.

[TwinsCD]

Population of Embarrass now 606 after that Grossmann bomb?

[FunnyPenguin]

Just watching gameday but Gibson's slider must be nasty today

[ThejacKmp]

Good to see Robbie heating up. He's probably not the 2016 version but he's a useful bench player.

[John Kelsey]

Who are you and what have you done with Kyle Gibson?

[ThejacKmp]

Ah, the no-nos over.

[Danchat]

 

Who are you and what have you done with Kyle Gibson?

I'm confident a doppelganger replaces Gibson every 3rd or 4th start and pitches very well every time out. Today must be the doppelganger's turn in the rotation.

[slash129]

Didi will tie it up now.

[ThejacKmp]

you take that back

[slash129]

Yeah, I jinxed him!

[Aggies7]

Oh my ulcer

[Jerr]

 

you take that back

And go sit on the bench, again!

 

[TwinsCD]

Hold down the fort for me, everyone...gotta leave to call balls and strikes.

[Mike Sixel]

Glad they got a hit. Gibson is done, or close. Now they won't be tempted to keep him on too long..

[ThejacKmp]

Two righties and a guy you want batting from the left so not crazy to keep Gibby for one more.

Correct, it would actually be a pop behind the plate somewhere, as a 90 degree launch angle is a ball that remains horizontal with the plate.

[Mill1634]

So what are the moves coming? 

 

Duffey for Hale, LaMarre for Buxton?

That's really like having to choose between two bowls full of crap, isn't it?  Gibson on fumes or the bullpen?  To which do you turn?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Just checked in on the game and.... lol.

 

Berrios, Lynn, Odorizzi, all fail horribly.

 

KYLE GIBSON TO THE RESCUE

Not sure if I should laugh or cry at this, but it's true either way.

 

I guess they found their stopper!

[slash129]

Pressly -> Reed -> Umm ... Maybe the weather turns?

[Circus Boy]

Paging Mr. Sun-oh... Paging Mr. Sun-oh... Home run on line 2.

 

EDIT ADD: Nuts. I'm way behind watching the game on gamecast.

[wsnydes]

In Escobar I trust!

The Twins Bullpen:

 

Pressly, Reed, and Hope You Won't Need.

[Circus Boy]

So, do the Twins relievers have nine outs left in their arms?

[wsnydes]

Bullpen in...I'm scared now!
