Would make sense to PH Jorge here, MOY

[Aggies7]

I guess we’ll take that

[VATwinsFan]

Better than nothing I guess.

[Mill1634]

I mean, I guess

[BoofBonser]

Time for the battle of the bullpens 
I wonder who's going to win ?

[Aggies7]

Dang, now Bobby singles

[VATwinsFan]

Wilson slowly creeping up to LoMo territory BA wise.

[LaBombo]

We have to keep Gibson. He's the guy that can go into New York or Boston and not get rattled.

That's maybe the most remarkable thing about Gibson's transformation, because I used to think that his biggest weakness was that he didn't have the kind of stuff to be effective against lineups like the Yankees and BoSox, with disciplined hitters that don't get themselves out on bad pitches.

Gotta say though, it’s been kind of a subdued atmosphere at Fenway tonight. At least watching on tv

[Aggies7]

Mauer should have hit that first pitch he got to cape cod

[LaBombo]

Love seeing the hit and run executed

It's not as much of a novelty as the drop kick in the NFL, but sometimes it feels like it might be someday.

Yeah, it seems quiet even for a regular season game, let alone a playoff game. I'm thinking more about how he used to struggle against teams that forced him to throw strikes.

He was great, no doubt

Torii: "It's pretty tough to win a Gold Glove playing outfield at Fenway. When's the last time a Red Sox outfielder won a Gold Glove?"

Dick: "Betts" 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Finally in front of a telly...

 

1-1 i see. What i miss?

Costly baserunning and very good pitching by both starters 

[TwinsCD]

Standing ovation for Gibby!

[operation mindcrime]

Fantastic performance from Gibson! His trade value will never be higher. Make him available and trade him now!

[Mill1634]

That was exactly the start we needed from Gibby. Impressive!

[curt1965]

Just joining the thread now. Hoping the consensus has been to keep Gibson!

At the game with ashburysteven. As far down the left field line as you can get without being on top of the Monster.

Torii's not gonna let a stray fact here or there get in the way of a perfectly good opinion.

[curt1965]

Apparently not........

Disappointed that this wasn't part of game thread intro

 

This is the only version of Thunderstruck I listen to anymore:

Eddie has been brutal today

Gibson was excellent, but there seemed to be a collective failure on the part of baserunners and middle management to grasp the time-space continuum as it relates to advancing from third to home.

[Aggies7]

Nice walk there

[Squirrel]

 

I really hope we didn’t miss our only chance of the night already

Yes, yes we did. Nothing more to see here. Ni-night!
