Infielders are yawning already

[Aggies7]

I don’t expect any easy innings this whole series.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Voit didn't get the "Don't Swing at Balls" memo. But then forgot to swing at the last strike.

[LVTwinsfan]

I don’t expect any easy innings this whole series.

Gibson makes them harder than they have to be, be lucky to complete five

[Aggies7]

Gregorious owns the twins. Owns

[Bandit34]

Gibby better get his bibby, because he's going to get rocked tonight.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Can gibson please move on in the winter?

[HawksNest]

Throw strikes damit

[mrtwinsfan]

FIRST TEAM TO 10 TONIGHT ??

[MVP Nick Punto]

Giving up walks and XBH is a time-honored strategy, isn't it?

[tbhysgb]

Don’t bring Gibson back. Move on from him.

[tvagle]

What'd I miss?

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Gibson didn’t take long to remind me that I’m really tired and don’t need to watch baseball tonight.

[diehardtwinsfan]

not a good start.

[LVTwinsfan]

The only good thing about the Yankees scoring two in the first is we have nine innings to catch up

[LA_NorthStar]

Back to back games with run scoring hits that Buxton might have caught.

[LVTwinsfan]

not a good start.

vintage Gibson though

[diehardtwinsfan]

let's get a bunch of bombas and put the yankees in their place. 

[MVP Nick Punto]

 

Gibson didn’t take long to remind me that I’m really tired and don’t need to watch baseball tonight.

Ah, but there's a German leading off against German in the bottom. Might remind you that you should watch baseball tonight.

What'd I miss?

 

I missed it too.

 

This what i get for napping...

 

Apparently they scored twice in the top of the first?

 

I scoff at 2 run deficits!

[USAFChief]

Would be nice to get some back here in the first. German can be tough.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Giving up walks and XBH is a time-honored strategy, isn't it?

Although usually you do it in the otber order, so as to preserve the triple play...

 

And the triple play is kinda important to that strategy.

[Aggies7]

Cruz is the slowest human on earth

[Mill1634]

I get my wisdom teeth dug out tomorrow. 

 

Watching Gibby try to work his way through this Yankee's lineup may be more painful. 

[USAFChief]

Polanco goes from 2-0 to a K in three pitches. Woof.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Looks like i got another inning of scoffing at least...

[MVP Nick Punto]

German through 1 with 10 pitches/6 strikes, Gibson 26/13

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cruz is the slowest human on earth

That why they call him a slugger?

[LVTwinsfan]

Does Gibson ever look like he’s having fun? This game is fun Go**ammit

[MVP Nick Punto]

 

That why they call him a slugger?

Fun fact: certain species of slugs and snails are rather aggressive predators.
