Gausman (1-0, 3.09 ERA, 4.22 xFIP) vs. Gibson (6-6, 3.04 ERA, 3.95 xFIP)
So last night was fun, although it is pretty funny to think about a low scoring game involving five home runs. And since the only one that actually caused any pain was Dozier's, I think that is more than enough proof that solo home runs do not, in fact, hurt.
It'd be great if Gibson could continue what has been a pretty good year so far. He's facing Kevin Gausman who started the year in the bullpen for the O's, now making his third start of 2015. Outside of that, I really don't know much else about him.
I presume Sano is to be an everyday player for the remainder of the year, which makes this season a lot of fun. I know it's a small sample size, but from everything I've heard or read, it sounds like he's plenty capable of handling major league pitchers. I'd love to see that first career HR make its way to the stands tonight, preferably with some other guys in the same uniforms on base.
way to work out of the jam, Kyle Gibson!
Perhaps Adam Jones should play 5 more steps back.
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It only took me two tries to call it.
It was bound to happen.
Heh, yeah, I'm not feeling particularly prescient about it. At least I called the guys on base part.
Did I just turn on the game 30 seconds too late?
Have we talked about how much of a black hole offensively Kurt Suzuki is?
I think we're trying not to.You were saying?
Oh, just your typical "strikeout, 1-3 putout"
TWINS BASEBALL!!!???
That late call was weird. No way the ump saw it either, he just guessed. Had he guessed safe, great. He guessed wrong for us.
The
buntrundown was the key to the inning.Sano's ability to walk might be the most impressive thing he's shown in the majors.
A bases loaded walk seems like a really impressive thing for a 22-year-old power hitter to take.
8-0 lead is the most dangerous lead.
Gibson can go ahead and stop pitching to the score about now.
Thanks, bud.
So the kid can hit, eh?
welp, that was fast.
See y'all later fellas.
Man, it's so nice to have a prospect come up and hit right away for a change.
Mauer hit right away.
...schedule the knee surgery!
Vargas hit right away, too.
so did Danny Santana.
No one hit as right away as Rosario did.
And Danny Valencia.
And Glenn Williams!!! 111one111!!!
Joe with a .400 OBP the past 10 games
