Gumby Nickname
Does anyone know the backstory on why the team calls Jordan Montgomery "Gumby"?

Re: Gumby Nickname
They said during the game that's what Roth calls him. Not sure if he came up with it or what...but it sounds like something Roth would come up with to me. Ol Gumby looked a little like Roth out there last nite imo.

Re: Gumby Nickname
I heard that it was something Roth called him to calm him down and get the jitters out before starts.

Re: Gumby Nickname
Roth would walk up to Gumby (Monty), and ask him...... "Are you Nervous?"
Gumby would reply... "Nope"..... to which Roth would reply....... "Well, you should be!"   Think it was Roth's way of breaking the ice, and let Monty know that it was OK to be nervous....... Roth will be SORELY missed next season...... he is the heart of the team in my opinion!

Re: Gumby Nickname
After last nights performance I bet they won't be playing Mickey Mouse Club music when he walks out in the first inning again. Think he might have gotten offended...lol I would have.

Re: Gumby Nickname
Are you familiar with the cartoon character, Gumby? He's tall and thin with a baby face. Not hard to figure out how Roth came up with it.

Re: Gumby Nickname
Just listened to the two Gumby show intros on youtube. I would post them but I am on my phone. Hilarious to imagine him coming out to one of those.
