A Tale of Two Gibsons

Hopefully, Gibson can improve on these results as he continues to learn and grow. He’ll need to learn how to pitch when his best stuff just isn’t with him – even Kevin Correia and Ricky Nolasco can turn in quality outings when their command is evading them.

I wonder if last night wasn't part of that learning process.

Gibson was solid but not spectacular. Failure to throw strike one kept him from pitching deeper in game.

So even though he apparently didn't have his best stuff, he perservered.

Thanks for all the analysis. It'll be interesting to follow this the rest of the season.

I agree with this 100%. Gibson was OK. worked out of some jams, and it's difficult to be disappointed when a guy goes six scoreless. But in a Low Leverage game like that, you'd hope for a little better.
