I said it before with Ariz we could have traded Lewis for a top number one pitcher this team absolutely needed that

[Aggies7]

Wet blanket Castro.

[bighat]

Castro....ooof. Overmatched and out of his league against Clevenger.

 

Okay, we'll take those 2 runs back. Let's go Gib Meister.

[tvagle]

Graterol done...6 BF 3 K's 1 infield single

[USAFChief]

Important inning here, Kyle.

Wet blanket Castro.

Well Garver is much better against lefties. He only OPS’s .845 against righties.

[Reider]

Unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen a player injure his left hand by swinging and missing the ball before. Also, what are the odds of Cruz and Sano both injuring their left hands in the same inning? Hopefully Sano iand Cruz are both okay.

 

Nice to see the Twins get a couple of runs back. Arraez is $.

[Aggies7]

3/5 leadoff runs reach

[Puckett34]

 

3/5 leadoff runs reach

60% of the time, it works every time

[USAFChief]

What happened to Gibson at 95-96? Has he been over 92 yet tonight?

[tvagle]

 

Important inning here, Kyle.

I would demand they take gibby out but the guys in the pen are even worse.

[bighat]

Gibson seems intimidated by this Cleveland offense. Scared to pitch to 'em. Even when he's ahead 0-2, the Indians can just sit back and wait until it gets to be 3-2.

I'd be happy to take a look at Dobnak!

[Aggies7]

I’m falling asleep watching this fella pitch

[bighat]

Gibby would rather walk 'em loaded than pitch to a guy. Unreal.

[Aggies7]

OH MY GOD TWINS FANS ARE BOOING I DONT BELIEVE MY EARS!,!,

[mrtwinsfan]

How do you leave this pitcher in ????????????????????????

[USAFChief]

This Cleveland lineup is a lot different after the deadline. They really helped themselves. They obviously miss Bauer, but overall this is a better team adding those two bats.

 

Bold. I wish we had been.

[notoriousgod71]

This is how we baseball.

I'd fall asleep but I'm too full of rage. I need a chill pill, you got any?

[Aggies7]

I was hoping for 6. Dude couldn’t get more than 23 outs. Pathetic

[ashbury]

Important inning here, Kyle.

Memo: undelivered

[USAFChief]

Important inning here, Kyle.

I blame me.

[TwinsCD]

PLEASE GET HIM OUT OF THERE, ROCCO!!!

[ScooterDance]

If we dress up BAL or CHI in NYY uniforms for the postseason, will anyone notice?

[alarp33]

Was there truly ever any doubt that this is the Gibson we'd see tonight? Talk about a guy who folds under any sort of pressure. Pathetic

Rotating through a million different awful pitchers isnt bold enough for you?

Check your math.

[Diesel]

Watching Gibby and Perez is not a great experience
