Game Thread: Mets@Twins 8/19 1:10PM

[Winston Smith]

Gameday shows the replay of the key plays and its free. It was a good catch.

[big dog]

Good inning for Gibson there.

[big dog]

The Mets announcers are going nuts about calling that play a hit rather than an error. They are already anticipating a possible no-hitter by Gee and wondering if that could be ruled an error after the fact. Let's hope the Jinx is in order.

[ashbury]

The much-maligned Clete breaks up the no-no. Who will break up the shutout?

 

/ edit - huh, didn't realize the backstory to his humble single.

[snepp]

0-2 hit.

 

 

 

Chief!

[Squirrel]

wow .. leave to take a shower, come back, it's the 4th inning, and gibson is still pitching

[Alex]

So I have to listen to Gladden today?

 

 

@#$%

 

 

But he's giving fascinating insights on the value of the RBI as within a player's ability, maligning Plouffe's lack of RBIs in Rochester and Mauer's lack this year.

[Winston Smith]

Gibby is scuffling a little today. Still battling.

[Thegrin]

another run. Gibson may not make it through the inning yet. oops... nobody warming up

[big dog]

Dear Mr. Gardenhire,

 

Please remove Mr. Gibson from the game before someone gets killed by a line drive.

 

Sincerely,

 

The MLB Player's Union

[Squirrel]

Someone is warming up now.

[snepp]

What, 11 base-runners in 3 innings is cause for concern?

[Squirrel]

Ooou, nice.

[snepp]

Just like they drew it up.

[big dog]

Yet another out on the basepaths by the Mets.

[Squirrel]

And now yet another run ...

[big dog]

Paging Liam Hendricks...please see Gene Glynn.

 

I hope Gibson has a restful off-season and comes back in good shape. He had nothing today, and not much lately. Time to quit wrecking his confidence.

[Winston Smith]

At least at this rate Gibson won't reach his inning limit until the end of the season.

[ashbury]

And now it's Gibby's turn to get cleaned up.

[Squirrel]

And now it's Gibby's turn to get cleaned up.

 

I probably enjoyed my shower more than he will enjoy his.

[Mike Sixel]

I gotta admit, I thought he'd be better than this.......I was figuring a 4 to 4.5 ERA this year, but with decent strikeout and groundout rates.

 

It is amazing how wrong I was this year on Gibson and Worley....both of whom I figured for a 3/4 type this year.

[Squirrel]

lol ... Mets' announcers just said 'That's the first legitimate hit for the Twins.'

[snepp]

I probably enjoyed my shower more than he will enjoy his.

Then He's Doing It Wrong.

I appreciate independent-minded announcers who are willing to call out their own team's defense when the situation requires it.

[Thegrin]

We can only hope that Gibson is done for the year.

lol ... I didn't mean it 'that' way ... sometimes I need to read my posts more critically. All I meant was that I had a satisfying workout at the gym prior to the game ... an hour with a trainer followed by an hour of Cardio Tennis. It was a good workout. I'm sure Gibson isn't so satisfied with his outing.

[Halsey Hall]

You sound like my kind of woman. About 30 years ago, lol.

Satisfying... hour with a trainer... good workout...

 

The first rule of Holes: when you are in one, stop digging.

 

/ thanks to Chief and others, I get to constantly remind myself of that
