It is so hard to watch Gibson pitch

[Mill1634]

Me thinks EE was worked around there...He owns Gibby

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

This is still a very winnable game. German might've used up his weekly allocation of luck to get out of that inning. I hope our boys take to heart the old adage "patience is a virtue"

Weekly allocation of luck—and pitches.

[Darius]

This team has some hideous ABs in big situations routinely.

 

Rowson deserves a ton of credit, and gets a boatload if it. But why doesn’t he ever take any heat for that? It’s always the individual player getting berated. But, when a player, like Sano for instance, turns things around it’s all because of his genius.

 

Great coach, but that part of it is starting to annoy me.

[USAFChief]

Gibson gets a DP grounder and still manages to mangle the inning.

[Aggies7]

JFC we need so many new arms

[tvagle]

Nibbles then Hits...Nibbles then hits...Nibbles then WP

[HawksNest]

Time to get the bullpen going

[Aggies7]

Unreal

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thanks for asking...

 

In this context "safety" was meant to avoid a double play which would have prompted TD posters to spend 3 pages on the dour state of Twins hitters with the bases juiced

 

In reality it would have safely kept us from having to watch that Castro AB

Are we safe yet?

 

Can i stop running now? Or should i just tune in 3 pages later in the game thread?

[Aggies7]

Starting to think the Indians are never going to lose. Throwing a 1 hitter through 7. So frustrating

Roy that was not "Great Hands" by Castro that was self-defense/wing-and-a-prayer glove block

I don’t think they change their approach in big situations. I think they just have hit a string of bad luck.

[LVTwinsfan]

Obviously no relation to Bob Gibson

[FLTwinsGuy]

Good lord there is no one more frustrating to watch then Kyle Gibson..please be the last year in a Twins uniform!!

Yes

[TNTwinsFan]

Stop nibbling Gibby!! Go after them!!!! So frustrating!

[HawksNest]

Gibson could be damn good if he ever could get his command figured out.  I think he has some of the best stuff on the entire staff but good lord is he a frustrating to watch.

We are never safe. It's like that song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" except instead of "you better watch out, you better not cry, ....." its "you better watch out, you better watch out, You Better Watch Out, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!!, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!!!1!!11!!"

[Aggies7]

63 pitches to get 8 outs.

[Aggies7]

I have a bad bad feeling ol Gary Sanchez isn’t gonna stay cold

[USAFChief]

Christ, one good AB after another from the *********** Yankees.

[Squirrel]

You don’t have to watch him. That why God created channel surfing. Just turn away when he pitches and turn back when the Twins are batting.

[FlauerPauer]

Seriously Gibson. Just throw strikes.

I dated Patience. She had no virtue.

[Aggies7]

THROW STRIKES YOU BUM

[Aggies7]

What a gift

[Whammy]

I don’t think they change their approach in big situations. I think they just have hit a string of bad luck.

I haven’t found a way to look up bases loaded stats within a date range, but our stats for the year are so laughable I can hardly post them....

Overall - 205/226/301

2 outs - 139/205/194

He did. Post this before every pitch.
