Game Thread: Twins vs. Angels 5/14/19, 6:40pm CST

[MNT1996]

Duffey coming up next. Oh boy

[Aggies7]

2 hittable pitches on back to back 0-2 counts

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

 

"Quiet, you two... you're scarin' the fish away!"
 

Are you saying the Twins are still winning?

I thought they were down by 14 runs based on Gibson's performance.

[Aggies7]

Dude Harper has been great but those 3 0-2 pitches were brutal

[MNT1996]

Angels are definitely better than their record suggests

[MMMordabito]

Time to see if Duffy has found light around the 17th corner.

[Aggies7]

That’s what I said last night. Can’t understand their mediocre record

[Aggies7]

Here comes Ty LaStella

[MNT1996]

If the homestand has shown me anything its that a couple of shutdown relief pitchers are something the Twins desperately need before the trade deadline

[70charger]

Not much leash there for Duffey...

[snotboogie]

That’ll be good for Duffey’s confidence

[LVTwinsfan]

The story of his career.

Spot on, always been a nibbler and could cough up any lead at any time. And they got him as their #2, what a joke. Bring up Stewart

Good god. It’s almost as if I stepped into a time machine and back to 2015.

 

Gibson, over his prior three starts, threw 18 innings and struck out 22 hitters. He gave up four runs.

[Aggies7]

THe shift saves our hides there

[70charger]

That's a big out. Gotta hang onto that lead because these Angels don't look like they're going away.

The Angels offense feels a lot like the Twins offense. Less pop, but Trout.

 

They’re annoying.

Preview of tomorrow's game thread opener...

[Aggies7]

Strike 2 was a ball, joe

[MNT1996]

Great at bat by Buck

[70charger]

Last year Buxton swings at that.

[Aggies7]

Nice at bat by BB

It's probably going to take Gibson a while longer to win some folks over, as mediocre as he was for so long. He was considerably better the third time through the order than he was the second time last year, so hopefully this was just a one-off.

 

And now that we've signed Kimbrel to anchor the bullpen, maybe Rocco will be a little more aggressive with middle relief for Gibson next time he's looking ragged in the 6th. 

 

Wait, we still haven't signed Kimbrel?

If Max gives us another one of his pop-up specialties I'll not be a happy camper

How about a groundball to the 2nd baseman?

A soft liner to the 2nd baseman. Even better!

Gibson has been good for something like 300-350 innings now. I’m not sure how much time people need.

 

And the dude is recovering from e.Coli and lost 20 lbs, probably all of which was muscle.

 

He deserves a little slack, especially when it comes to tiring in later innings. The guy has every friggin’ reason to wear down during a game.

Gibson is the same as he always has been , rare flashes of brilliance that keeps us all hoping, he’ll never be anything more, would have shown up by now

Brad Ausmus knows how to spit between his two front teeth. I'm impressed.

[MNT1996]

Cmon Garv. Give us a 5 RBI night
