Game Thread: Twins @ Kansas City 10:15 AM PT (Noon:15 PM CT) 4/3/2019

[Blake]

Gordon of all people. Hasn't hit a lick for how long?

[bighat]

Pathetic.

[Cap'n Piranha]

What in the hell is happening right now?

[Blake]

Okay, Gibson didn't get much help there from Polanco.

[Blake]

 

What in the hell is happening right now?

Looks like the Patented 2018 Fielding Meltdown.

[bighat]

What's Rocco waiting for here?

[Blake]

2 outs and can't put KC away.

 

Wow.

[snotboogie]

Oy.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

What's Rocco waiting for here?

 

Permission from the Front Office apparently.

[rghrbek]

When Gibby nibbles, he's far less effective and what he has been most of his career.  When he has been aggressive he has been what we have seen last 1.5 years.  Again, why I am somewhat hesitant to sign him to a 3 or more year deal.

 

Plenty of season left, but ouch.  And he's still in there!!!!!  Take him out.

[Don Walcott]

For the love of God, will someone think of the children?  Get him out of there!

[bighat]

This game looked un-loseable about 20 minutes ago.

[Shaitan]

This is the all-or-nothing Gibson I remember.

[Blake]

I think the Twins can come back and win this one but 2 games of ineptness against KC doesn't bode well.

[jkcarew]

Now I see how Baldelli is going to do it...every starter throws 85 pitches, regardless of results.

[h2oface]

All the runs after Adrianza's horrible play that went as a hit..... are really unearned. 

 

Gibson gets the B team. All the bench at once. Not sure I like that. Not all of them at once.

[h2oface]

I guess some are quick to forget why Gibson was skipped until this rotation and his sickness. Such fair weather. As if this start is indicitive of reversion. SMH.

 

[akmanak]

Lol, judging from the posts already on here the season is now over. We had a good run.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Rex Hudler, Kansas City TV color analyst, just uttered the following; "the more runs you have, the better chance you have to win the game".

 

I see why he has his job.

[Mill1634]

Willans is a big league hitter. Damn. 

[bighat]

Awful at-bat by Eddie. Close your eyes and swing mode. Terrible bush league stuff from a guy who's lost.

 

AND Astudillo crushes it. Unreal.

[Blake]

Can Astudillo pitch?

[snotboogie]

Little Fat Man brings me joy.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Little Fat Man brings me joy.

 

Pequeno Gordo Hombre?

[Jerr]

A-Stud =A Star!!!

Yeah, but it started with a 2 out walk to the #9 hitter.      Game isn't out of reach.     How about that Turtle?

[Jerr]

Astudillo batting .857         

[akmanak]

Guessing we need to fire the coach. He is completely over his head when it comes to any decision making ability.

[VATwinsFan]

Is simply amazing.

I agree with this.  Billy Hamilton should never ever be walked.  He's a career .245 hitter, and that's been declining the past 3 years.  Make him earn his way on base.
