We can only hope that good managing, good hitting, and good pitching also comes shortly because all of those have been noticeably lacking.

Can we actually hit Kyle Gibson? If he's smart he throws no fastballs.

Boy - the bottom third of that order seems like an 0 for 9 waiting to happen.

Need to have the good Means today.

Can't be much worse than what the top of the order has been doing lately. 

Melanie talking about the damn streak again.. can we please stop?!?

[mrbig1]

line up has to wake up today.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

I’ll probably be wrong, but Hays is going to contribute on offense today. 

[Yossarian]

Lance Lynn had an ERA over 7 in the month of May.  I suspect we'll make Gibson look like Clemens in this game.  

[Malike]

Gibby watched these guys all year. I suspect he knows what gets them out.

[Moose Milligan]

Soft tossing former Oriole starting against his old team.  If I were a betting man, I'd bet the house, farm, car and everything in my bank account about how this one turns out.

Kyle Gibson will look like another Cardinal Gibson, Bob Gibson today against us...

We're all pretty much thinking the same thing savvy soft throwing veteran seems to always give this team fits.
