Splendid performance by Kyle Gibson. I've seen him pitch better, but not by much. Bert and Dick got their wish - a win in a pitcher's duel.

By the way, if you still cooking chicken breast instead of chicken thighs, you're doing it wrong.

Shhhh.  Everybody likes my chicken off the grill.  It's the thighs.

Tell him about the Twinkie.

Say this Twinkie represented the normal amount of Bombas in Twins bats...

 

The Twinkie we got this year is the size of a school bus.

Good game

One of the best of the season, if you don't mind a few stumbles on offense.

[stringer bell]

Full house, but only 2:22 time of game. The beer vendors won't get as much as they might have if the game went longer.

That was a good game. I much prefer watching this over most of the 12-8 slugfests we've been playing.

I'll take a win no matter how. BTW, time of game 2:21. If this game had taken place in the '50's when there were no long commercial breaks it would have been under 2:00.

eat like it is 2012...

 

 

And now it's official... there's nothing the internet can't do.

It's a good game. I still think Rocco should have saved Rogers for next close game though. After all we have only one Rogers and Gibson has been dominating in this game.

I do love me a 2 and a half hour game as compared to the 3.5+ hour ones.

Keller pitched a great game too, deserved better

He got big help from Schoop twice.

If Gibson isn't allowed to go out for the ninth tonight, Rocco will just never allow anyone to do it no matter how dominant they are and how low their pitch count is.

I really don't see why. It's not like Twins have plenty of dominating relievers in the bullpen.

He did the same thing to Odo in another game. Odo was clearly dominating in that game and had low pitch count like 69 through 5 or 6 innings. And Rocco took him out.

If Gibby is pitching in October tonight's earlyish hook might be a reason why. Over the years I have watched many twins fade in September. Let's see how this new approach pans out.

Great game. Great company here on the Game Thread.

 

I love this team.

I talked a lot about baseball yesterday, but I figured I had to get some positives out there after a debacle of a game
