It’s a gutter war (coincidently, also in St. Petersburg). 

Hopefully Gibson got his head out of his a$$ in the bullpen and is ready to go pitch 7 strong.

Let’s start this series on the right foot. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

And umps off to a fantastic start. That was ball 4

[Dibbs31]

Horrendous call

Robo umps seriously cannot get here fast enough imo.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Hope that half inning isn’t a sign of things to come. Hopefully it’s like what happened with the Minnesota pitcher.

[mrbig1]

Not good.

[dtk9119]

3 strikeouts. Sure hope Gibson is up to the task.

[Roy Firestone]

Glasgow isn't gonna give up 6 again tonight...he's on a mission...we got trouble tonight...
