Good Gibson making an appearance?

LOL way too early for that - he hasn't been very good so far.

 

The GB DP kept him out of real deep waters.

That's why I put a "?".

Is Hiura a rookie? Wow this kid can really hit, also hit for power. He should be NL rookie of the year.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

Gibson just is not very good.

[VATwinsFan]

 

Good Gibson making an appearance?

Never mind.

[yarnivek1972]

Good thing Twins are hitting the bombas today. Might need 10 to win today.

[Darius]

Gibson just refuses to allow a multi-run lead to hold for a full inning.

[mrtwinsfan]

I have become NUMB from watching Gibby,  Tell him take his 2 best pitches go to the bullpen and learn how to throw them ,  this right now is not working,

[rghrbek]

2 and 2/3rd and he's given up 6 hits and walked 2....We will need to continue to hit bombs

[VATwinsFan]

Or only three bombas if there are some runners on base.

How in the world is Gibson 2nd among all starting pitchers in whiff rate on his breaking pitches?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Gibson just refuses to allow a multi-run lead to hold for a full inning.

As have most of our other starters in the recent past. Kinda disheartening.

Tatis, Alonso, Reynolds, Vergugo, Soroka, Paddack are all well ahead of him. 

 

He can really hit though. 

[VATwinsFan]

Not through three inning and there's already been 110 pitches.

[Battle ur tail off]

Gibson sucks this year. That is all.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Pitcher on deck, do not give him anything to hit.  Walk is fine.

[VATwinsFan]

Another disaster averted.

 

Sort of.

[rghrbek]

He has good stuff, just never throws strikes.

[Aggies7]

there's not a more annoying pitcher on the entire staff than gibson. and boy that says something

[denarded]

Not to pile on Gibson, but this is so typical. Team gives him lead, he nibbles around and lets the opponent back in. I'm done watching him and I loathe watching his starts. Don't know the answer, but Gibson is not it. 

BTW Morneau keeps getting beter and better in the booth. Never thought that would be a thing for him.

[yarnivek1972]

8 baserunners in 3 IP. No bueno.

[wavedog]

Walking on a tightrope - we may need a Home run an inning.  

[Puckett34]

BIG K there.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Walking on a tightrope - we may need a Home run an inning.

Could be on a unicycle instead of walking...

[yarnivek1972]

I don't agree. I don't think he has very good stuff and that's why he doesn't throw strikes. When he throws a lot of strikes he tends to get lit up.

Then how do you explain half of 2017 and all of 2018?

 

Is he doing something different now than he was then? Has the league readjusted?

 

I don’t know. But the Twins better figure it out soon.

[lukeduke1980]

That's twice through the order, time to pull him.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

3-2 after 3.

 

CBU.

 

(Sadly on the same device i must stop watchong to post...)

[bighat]

Jonathan Schoop sighting! Wow!

[rghrbek]

Schoop got a meaningful hit?

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Schoop a doop
