I hope it's Graterol
The Twins are calling up Ryan Eades to make his MLB debut.
here are his numbers if you can read them.

Sounds like one bad outing inflated his ERA. Really good strike out numbers and someone who can pitch more than 1 inning.

Gibson needs a 10-day stint on the IL where his rehab assignment is to eat at Fogo de Chao every day.

(Maybe ask Sano where to eat?)

Awful. Walk the 8 hitter and a 3 run bomb to 9 hitter. Awful.
Oh and a single for the 7th hitter. All with two outs. Classic pre 2019 gibby

Wow I thought Marwin was faster than that. Dp from deep in the hole and backhanded. Thought he would be safe by a step or two.

Turd Gibson is like that big log that you lay. It might be long, strong and glorious or it can break into little chunks and float to the surface.

New to baseball?

Frickin Sandy Koufax had some games that weren't solid.

There are zero pitchers available in the MLB that will have a great game every time out.

Nope.......I predicted it.
It's what he does..

Not a fan of it, but I'm far from surprised.

He's going to get a "K" about a 1/3 of his ABs....which is atrocious..
but for some reason they "accept" it.

I never thought I would ever read or hear anyone compare Kyle Gibson to Sandy Koufax.

Gibson also has been an at best mediocre pitcher in his career. I won’t be giving him the benefit of the doubt because he doesn’t deserve it.

If I come off negative about this team, it’s because I expect more out of a team that has a loyal fan base and if you put a winning team out on the field they will show up in droves.

Also, aside from the cameo “playoff” appearance a couple seasons ago, it’s been a rather atrocious string of years since 2010.

The most maddening part is that we have an owner who is so much like his father that it is a detriment to the franchise and a big reason why the team can’t progress to win a WS.

I try to be positive jackazz. I remember you’ve had health issues and I understand that negativity doesn’t help in that case.

It’s just super hard to be a more positive Twins fan like you when you know how this ownership likes to run the franchise.

Like taking the wind out of the sails.

Insults?

Disappointing coming from you Jackazz. Someone that has had health issues shouldn’t be like that brother.

Just because I don’t have the same views is no need to do that.

That means I should suddenly not comment about someone making a post that is "mentally challenged"?

That is maybe the most insulting thing someone can say.
