Weather delay up here in Minnesota. Cold and wet, I hope that it gets rained out so that Barrios doesn't have to start in poor conditions... -
Uh Oh, Kyle Gibson with a shoulder strain...
Gibson, meanwhile, said he felt something in his shoulder during the first inning of his start on Friday. He remained in the game, giving up seven runs over three innings, but Gibson said he felt pain in his shoulder the next day and wasn't able to throw his scheduled bullpen session on Sunday.
Gibson called his injury a general shoulder strain, and said he's hopeful he'll also be ready to return once he's eligible on May 8.
"The doctor said it was pretty minor, which was relieving," Gibson said. "I had never felt a pain like that, and on Sunday, it was pretty severe. So to have that kind of pain lightly throwing a baseball and find out it was something minor was pretty relieving. It feels a lot better today. Hopefully, I'll be feeling better before two weeks, but after 15 days, I'll be ready at the end of it."Leave a comment:

I see what you did there...Originally posted by eldiablo505
He's killed it at AAA so far this season, so I have no real reason to think that he may struggle up in the bigs. Probably the usual ups and downs of any pitcher, but they brought him along slowly enough to assure that he'll be as ready as he can be.Leave a comment:

I'm kind of baffled why they don't give him a chance. I realize he hasn't been great or anything in his limited PT, but he's pretty decent defensively (not Buxton, but still pretty good). Give him a 1-2 week run at the job, and if he's overwhelmed, toss Danny Santana back in there and Kepler can head back to AAA to get ABs and shore up his weaknesses.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostLeave a comment:

Guest repliedYeah he just seems lost. They have Kepler down at AAA who they could swap him out forLeave a comment:

Alright, I fold...4 more K's today should get Buxton sent down to work on pitch recognition. The problem is the Twins don't have anyone better to take his place right now unless they decide to put Danny Santana in there when he comes back from the DL. That's the issue with a young team, everything is contagious, bad hitting is as contagious as good is...it's be nice to sprinkle some vets (no, Mauer doesn't count, he's never been a leader) in to show the kids how to handle a slump. Maybe the folks that said that Torii was a huge difference last year were right, I never believed it, but...Leave a comment:

Really struggling to evaluate Gibson. Thought he had momentum at the end of last year. Really looks mediocre this year. Not like he gives a lot of Ks, so if his control/GB is off, it's a train wreck. Should I cut bait of be patient? Hornsby or other Twins fans have some perspective?Leave a comment:
