    I understand the argument that he needs MLB experience to know how to pitch in MLB. That said, if he's not ready, he's not ready, and should not be up. I guess it comes down to whether his struggles are due to arm fatigue or just not enough preparation in the minors (like Hicks). I'm guessing that many will assume the issue is arm fatigue, but Gibson himself said just last week that his arm still feels strong. Granted, you can't always go on what an athlete says, but neither can we assume the opposite either. If it is arm fatigue, your point is well made. If it is that he just needs to learn a little more, then bringing him up earlier would have made no difference - he still would have been rocked, just in July rather than August. There could be some benefit to this move in addition to supporting the affiliate in a playoff run. Perhaps Kyle can take some of his MLB experience and his "schooling" in what he needs to work on and focus on that in a slightly lower pressure environment.

    Of course, he wasn't that sharp in Triple-A at first either. It wasn't until mid-May that he hit his stride and was actually deserving of a callup. Maybe he should have been up a couple of weeks earlier (3 starts?) but not more than that.
  3. IdahoPilgrim
    No one knows what his innings limit is, or at least nobody is saying. That said, I think you're right - 1 or 2 starts is probably about it. And if he can get them a couple of wins, that could be big for them in the stretch. Tight race, every game may count. My guess (and just that) is he finishes the regular Triple-A season and then is shut down, regardless of whether they make the playoffs or not.
  4. IdahoPilgrim
    So is anybody else wishing they had shut Gibson down at 140 innings?
  5. IdahoPilgrim
    Boy, talking about a hanging post right over the center of the plate... Because there are plenty of other fools waiting to give it to them. It's a vicious cycle.
  6. IdahoPilgrim
    Last I saw, he was still en route.
  7. IdahoPilgrim
    Ball 4 was a wild pitch - Willingham tried to come home.
  8. IdahoPilgrim
    And us with him.

    Actually, no, quite the opposite. But I still put all my energy and passion into it - which is draining.
  11. IdahoPilgrim
    OK. Runner on 3rd, nobody out. Just dying to see how they manage to get out of this without scoring.
  12. IdahoPilgrim
    Yeah, I know. I shouldn't be surprised. Sunday afternoons I'm usually pretty tired after work, so I'm more vulnerable - don't have my defenses up.
  13. IdahoPilgrim
    Haven't missed much today either.
  14. IdahoPilgrim
    You gotta be kidding me! 1st & 2nd, no out, and they get nothing? What, do they work on this in practice - how to hit for futility when it really counts?
  15. IdahoPilgrim
    Yeah, I know, but I guess I'm just one of those guys who likes knocking his head against a wall just for the fun of it. Kind of like being a Twins fan.
  16. IdahoPilgrim
    Yeah, I guess I asked for that one.
  17. IdahoPilgrim
    When did Dozier get traded to Chicago?
  18. IdahoPilgrim
    Yeah, he needed to be working the phones the first 4 innings. Oh well. Not that it would have mattered - he would have never cleared waivers back then.
  19. IdahoPilgrim
    Eastern Idaho too - 50% mormon.
  20. IdahoPilgrim
    You'll have to do something nice for her later to apologize.
  21. IdahoPilgrim
    So who brought the kryptonite to the game tonight?
  22. IdahoPilgrim
    Yeah, you saw what I was setting him up for. He didn't bite though.
  23. IdahoPilgrim
    Which one?
  24. IdahoPilgrim
    IIRC, you were the one who first brought up moobs tonight.
  25. IdahoPilgrim
    Wasn't there a thread about that not too long ago? That's not Twins baseball.
