Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 6/29 - 3:10pm

[heatbeat]

Nice slide piece there from Gibson. 2 strikeouts so far.

[Twins Twerp]

Phantom cam is grossing me out...both from elbow skin and its overusage.

[Beezer07]

Wade Davis's first inning line. 4 Hits, 5 Runs, 5 Earned Runs, 3 Walks, 2 Ks, 1 HR, 53 pitches. That's pretty chunky.

 

Walks will haunt

[Riverbrian]

I'd like to make the suggestion that if he's gonna give up hits... Singles are OK.

Yeah it was kind of cool the first time, but I don't care what Perez's swing looked like when he grounded out weakly to short.

[Riverbrian]

kkk

[Beezer07]

Huh, guess rookies do get some calls.

[CairoCrown]

Ump giving Gibson the "Yankee-Corner."

Put that Slo-Mo camera on the Fox North Girls.

2 IP, at least 1 K in each IP, 1 XBH given up each inning, 0 runs in either inning, 0 BB in both innings.

 

Gibson appears to have fixed his consistency issues.

[buckninetyone]

[Guest USAFChief]

EDIT: I get credit for "riverbrain," though, no? 1 for 2?

Random thought: Speed doesn't equal range. See Dyson, Jarrod.

From Fox "News" -

MLB says "no can do, but would you settle for us awarding Gibby the next 15 CYs in advance?"

Cairo... Please repost this with a news sounder... We've been thru this!!!

[VATwinsFan]

So how many people can say they watched Bert's first start in which he gave up a home run to the first batter he faced (Lee Maye)?

[Scheherezade]

Joe's just trying to work up the pitch count; Davis is only at 62.

Not until I get my game badge(s)!

Ok I have to work at 6:30. At this rate, is the game going to be done in time?

I was 9 years old and listened to the Twins on the radio a lot. I don't remember them being on TV very often. The internet was really slow in 1970 as well.

Maybe faster now that they brought in the Fresh Prince.

Ah, but you didn't have to because it was on TV in the Cities.

did you mean brad ausmus?

Gibson: I am sure we'll hear "downward plane" a lot. To me that fastball looks really straight, but his history is a lot of ground balls. I thought strike three to Butler was a great pitch.
