I really try to put myself in their shoes. His career is slipping on him... at least it is going to feel like that to him. 

 

It's a tragic moment... I feel for the guy. 

This is why I think Gibson is a change of scenery guy. Just seems to be one of those things.

Really? We're analyzing every single pitch he doesn't swing at now? Sano took one too, in the middle and at the knees. No comments?

When it's 90 percent of his PAs, and he's extremely power challenged, yes. I will point it out every time. Mauer hurts this team.

I hear this. It's hard not to be sympathetic to Gibson who is probably watching his career go down the toilet with the start to the season. Still, sympathy doesn't take you very far. Looks like Gibson goes back to AAA for Mejia to start on Friday or Saturday.

 

In my opinion... it's what Falvey/Lavine have to do now. 

 

They got be a tough on mediocre or bad play. We just had a 5 plus ERA in 2016. We can't allow the same guys to do the same thing again without cutting the cord.

Except that on Tuesday the 30th you need a 5th starter, so if you send Gibson down, that means you're going with Wilk or Tepesch. After yesterday, I hope they go with Wilk, but that's sort of depressing to think about.

That's not all that accurate. In the year of our lord 1797 in Croydon, Great Britain, Sir Reginald Wilberforce Bleecher was developing a sportsman's challenge that would entail the athlete to to leap over numerous planks of wood while running up hill.

 

Sir Bleecher mapped out this game and had a few of his comrades help him set up this obstacle course. Exhausted after completing this task, Sir Bleecher and his comrades retired for the evening.

 

The next day, when returning to the work site, to their amazement, a football game was taking place and the spectators were sitting on these wooden planks because the grass was wet from a rainfall in the early morning - hence the creation of the Bleecher and it's accidental invented purpose.

 

 

 

Holy....I want one of the pipe dreams YOU'RE having...

Apologies to Sir Bleecher but you got it all wrong. You see they used to play these games in sheep pastures and as anyone who has ever stepped in sheep turds knows sheep bleat. So one day they had this pick up game going and all these sheep were standing on these boards watching 'cause, you know, sheep get tired of stepping in sheep turds, too when Old Man Ruth (Babe's dad) got a hold of a 3-0 fastball and hit it into a cornfield somewhere near Lackawanna, which is a city that has everything it wants except wannas. Anyway, the mighty blow so impressed the sheep that they all bleated simultaneously, startling everyone in the grandstand. So one drunk says to his buddy, "Where did that godawful noise come from?" And his equally drunk buddy said, "Over there. From those bleaters." Only being drunk his speech was slurred so the first drunk, whose hearing was slurred, thought he said "bleachers". And so they were christened. The boards, not the sheep.

 

Now if you want to talk about grandstands...

 

 

Jeez....Bark, keep yours. Dave, can we be friends?

1. Gibson came inside. Cool.

 

2. Gibson needs to let his defense make the plays behind him. I don't think he quite gets that the infield and outfield will, for the most part, make the plays. Unlike a couple of years ago.
