He looks sick in the face for sure.  Never seen him before though, so maybe he always has had a cadaverous look.

+1. I mean I imagine most of us our pale Minnesotans, but that guy looks like a ghost. 

[Danchat]

It's nice to see some good baserunning for a change.

[Mill1634]

OUT!

[Han Joelo]

Gibson is fun to watch.  Wilson seems like he knows what he wants to do back there.  That pickoff attempt was nicely executed; almost worked.

Man, I really want this Kyle Gibson to get a five year extension. Unfortunately I also want him to be 25-years-old as well

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Who is pitching?

[slash129]

I'm not trading Gibson, unless it's a Top 25 overall.

[Tom Froemming]

Dick Bremer is suggesting that Torii Hunter and David Ortiz participate in this year's home run derby.

[TwinsCD]

81 pitches thru 6 innings.  I don't know who this guy is pitching and wearing a Twins uniform but I'd like to bottle him for the rest of the staff.

Yeah, how'd he forget about Jim Thome though?

His elbow is only 5, right?

[TwinsCD]

Nice hanger by Hu and Rosie swats it into the flowers.

[Squirrel]

Just got home from work .... what a thing to see before dreamland. I <3 Rosie.

[slash129]

It was only a matter of time with Hu. Way to go Rosario!

As someone who has not really ever watched the Dick and Bert show--but heard the laments here on this forum--now I get it.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Gibson at 102 pitches through 7, but Molitor sends him back out. Color me nervous.

[Mill1634]

FANTASTIC outing Mr. Gibson. Please do not trade this guy...the return will not outweigh his value

[jimbo92107]

Should Gibby come out for the 9th?

[TwinsCD]

Pressly's in the game and I'm watching.  I'd better turn this off.

[Mill1634]

Why use Pressly here? Molitor's bullpen management is so horrible. Why have Magill, Rogers, or belisle on the roster if you aren't going to use them in these situations. 

[howeda7]

Freaking Presly. 

[Twodogs]

How long do you keep Pressly in??

[Mill1634]

Welp. 

[TwinsCD]

I will do a dance of joy if Pressly gets jettisoned to the Cubs for a prospect at the deadline.  Hell, I'd take a few broken bats and some scuffed baseballs for him.

[Twodogs]

Wow this could be all bad?

He was amazing yesterday, but that's the thing, use someone else in what looked like a sure win. Not someone who had a high stress inning yesterday??

[Mill1634]

Heads up play by Fernando to go home there. 

 

Hope he is ok.

Pressly is in the same category as Magill and Belisle...can't be counted on in high leverage situations

[Mill1634]

ARROW TIME!!

 

We ain't dead yet!

 

Go Twins!
