About last night: Logan Gilbert has gone underground

We joke sometimes on the site about Logan Gilbert as a “mad scientist” because of his penchant for exploration and experimentation, but truthfully, it’s a gift to be able to cover someone who not only possesses Gilbert’s talent, but also his scholar’s curiosity about his craft, as well as his analytical approach towards implementing changes. Some experiments are more successful than others, but Gilbert is never stagnant; even as a young pitcher, he has a keen understanding of the game’s ability to pass one by for those that might rest on their laurels. Since he set foot in the big leagues, Gilbert has constantly sought improvement; last night, he showed we might be seeing the best version of him yet.
