If we're gonna stretch Gibby out for that game three start I think another inning is in order

funny

[mrtwinsfan]

With gibbys mindset,  just picture him in Yankee Stadium in a crucial inning ?

[GCTF]

 

Just one more inning to go -- am assuming Gibby is done for the night.

At this point I expect Hildenberger to get the ninth.

[Blake]

 

And the satellite TV is out again.

Detroit took the lead!

 

*Just kidding

You know what "assume" means, don't you?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

somebody smarter than me explain why Gibson is pitching. I'm serious

rehab? He would be their third best option to start in a playoff series. A postseason atmosphere is a completely different beast and I can’t blame them if they want to get Gibby ready for that.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

He attacked Candelario there....hell of a pitch. 

 

 

Yes, I know it was Candelario. 

And it was a ball by 6+ inches

[twinsnorth49]

Buck Farmer, this guy had two career paths from birth, baseball player.......or porn star. 

[Pius Jefferson]

I think I saw Buck Farmer on the Ken Burns Country music series.

Shouldn't Rocco be trying this out AFTER they clinch the division???

Where's the angst in that?

third best, no way, a bullpen game is a much better option

[mrtwinsfan]

Would our bottom 4  bat 1-4 for detroit ?

[VATwinsFan]

 

Detroit took the lead!

It was also a great pitch. He attacked to get up 0-2, tried to get him to chase as he should with pitches down and then changed his eye level by throwing one up and away. 

 

Textbook. 

[David HK]

My God- wtf, Rocco?

 

Cleveland is not surrendering, so we've got to win our magic number of games. Now is not the time for the Great Nibbler Experiment.

 

I'm in Gibby's corner as far as the fortitude he's shown in the face of serious health issues, but I can support him just fine if he's not on the mound, giving up baserunners galore to a Mendoza-hitting team.

 

Yep, struck out the side last time, but what did he give up in between? Got out of the 8th, but with a runner in scoring position, and once again facing the tying run in the batter's box.

 

SMDH.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hildenberger warming up ?

If you must know I'm on board with the article having Berrios, bullpen, Odo, bullpen, Berrios

[Blake]

 

Especially if they trot Gibby out there again.

 

Omg, I had palpitations. Went to a short meeting, and came back to see Mr. Nibs on the bump, facing the tying run.

 

[VATwinsFan]

 

Hildenberger warming up ?

Stewart

[Pius Jefferson]

The overall record is one sided but the Twins should not struggle so much against Detroit.

[GCTF]

 

Buck Farmer, this guy had two career paths from birth, baseball player.......or porn star. 

You're confusing him with Buck Naked.

[David HK]

Omg, MlbTV just flashed Gibby's face in the "pitching" circle as that inning ended.

 

Please, don't be true..........

[mrtwinsfan]

[LVTwinsfan]

Expect to see Cabrera in the ninth

[twinsnorth49]

Farmyard version.

[VATwinsFan]

For some reason I'd prefer Duffey right now.

[mrtwinsfan]

Rodgers needs a good inning, cmon taylor

[wabene]

Rogers against a lefty, order restored

[70charger]

I saw "Stewart" on screen and got momentarily very nervous/angry.
