I was sitting here bummed about Gardy's backsliding line-up management when I saw he slid Dozier's .228/.301/.371 into the second spot. Then .... a five-run first inning and Dozier on base in his first two at bats. It's like watching someone stay every time with a 13 against a dealer 10 and winning each time. It can happen but it doesn't make it a good idea. Oh well, as long as he doesn't start sucking the dealer's bust cards, I'll hold my tongue.

But check the splits of Dozier in day games at home. He's pretty good then.

Note to the Fox Sports Production Crew:

 

Leave the Parents alone when Kyle is pitching... Just a theory... They may want to watch.

Speaking of Blyleven...at the end of his 6th season with the Twins (his age 24 season) he had logged over 1600 IP. His worst ERA was 3.18 (his rookie year), his worst WHIP was 1.17, and had K'd over 1300 batters.

 

I'm hoping Gibson can top that.

I haven't quite warmed to Marney 2.0 yet.

I remember that before he gave up the HR Bert threw a curve ball for a strike that made Maye bail and give him the ol' "what in the world was that and where did you come from?" look.

You need to see her in slow motion... Her elbow skin flaps real nice.

RB, you need to head across the river and clean up this coffee that I just spit out all over my computer.

Is that right? He is certainly doing well today. Also, I have to be honest that given the players he decided to start, his right-handed options to split up his lefties are mostly worse. I'd have preferred 2)Mauer 3) Plouffe 4) Morneau 5) Arcia 6) Dozier if breaking up the lefties is important to him. But, Gardy's magic sauce has led to a strong start and I am enjoying seeing Gibson in the bigs.

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

I blame you.

Sorry I'm late. Had to break the news to a gal pal that I'm staying with my wife.

Tough news for the wife.

Andy: Gib... They are hitting balls up the middle on you

 

Gibson: Yeah I know... Any advice.

 

Andy: be careful... Get out of the way

Are foul tipped third strikes considered "pitch-to-contact?"
