And he saved the pen. Toronto’s approach was horrible.  Barely made him throw any pitches when the pen was limited tonight. 

In a nutshell, this may be the underlying reason the BJs have under achieved this year. I wonder whether John Schneider will be retained if they don't make the playoffs. The talent is there, the performance is not.

Decent outing from Gibson last night (6 IP, 3 ER), though I think he might have struggled against a better lineup.  Only 3 strikeouts, and it bothered me that he issued walks to weak hitters Trey Cabbage and Brett Phillips in the 2nd and 3rd innings.   Generally, he was having trouble finding the glove side corner of the plate, especially to RH batters.   On the plus side, he induced three DP grounders.   He’d only thrown 87 pitches through 6 innings (54 strikes), but I thought Hyde did the right thing to go to the bullpen in the 7th, knowing that the team has an off day today.

He should not pitch in the playoffs, I would leave him off the playoff roster

We'd have a seven man rotation?

15 quality starts this year.

Really good article here about Gibson’s influence in the Orioles’ clubhouse and his charitable work that earned him the O’s Roberto Clemente Award nomination (he was nominated twice previously by the Twins and Phillies).   You read this stuff and you understand why it would be very difficult to pull Gibson from the rotation or leave him off the playoff roster, from a clubhouse culture point of view, even when the numbers suggest otherwise.

If there’s a silver lining in tonight’s 1-0 loss, it’s the spectacular 6.2 innings we got from Kyle Gibson.  The bullpen has been running on fumes after 4 short starts and Gibson gave most of them a break.  Great outing by him and I hope it bodes well for his remaining starts.

Kyle Gibson may have been scored an L in the box score tonight, but I think strategically overall his performance might have been a win because of how it saved the bullpen. Which is something the Orioles desperately needed right now heading into the 4 game American Leage East Championship Series.

A performance like tonight builds more confidence to have Kyle Gibson in the playoff rotation.

Scott Garceau tells me he is MLB's first 3-game winner.

So cromulent.

And with one turn to go he is back into a black ink tie for the AL Wins title.

Pitched a great game. Bullpen essentially gets two days of rest now.

They were pretty rested yesterday and today. And tomorrow's an off day. 

I think that's three days, Walter.

I get he's the "old grizzled veteran", but this dude has legit stood up this year and delivered exactly what we needed from him. It helps that he's an amazing human and teammate and I believe a huge influence on the culture of this team.

[Il BuonO]

I’ve never been a huge fan, but he’s done his job this year. Takes the ball every start and goes deep enough to not tax the pen.

Added plus that he’s a great person.
