I think this kid just found a new nickname...."THE CYCLE" because he just goes 100mph all the time, Any thoughts?

This guy is a major talent, and he's only getting better. I can't believe how fast he is.

Go Twins!

Its too early to start saying Johan who, but with games like this, it makes the trade seem better and better all the time.  Gomez can flat out fly.  He ran faster around the bases on his homerun than Mike Redmond runs trying to beat out a single.

The last hit, the single was crazy.   

The sox can implode with the best of them.  The single and double should / could have been outs.

Love the hustle in this guy.

ski u mah i have to disagree with you.  Quintin is a decent fielding left fielder that was a a tuff play.  It was going to be a hit if he would have held up he it would have been a single, but you have to have some luck whne getting a cycle.  The Single was a single it was hit hard off the pitchers glove, Gomez was flying down the line and it was i very hard play for even the best of shortstops. 

The thing is i dont think this is Gomez last cycle, he has power and a hit in the gap can be a triple any time.

I understand the "nickname" question. Great players tend to earn them. I don't go with "the cycle". I will put in at this time, "The Tasmanian Twin".  Gomez makes things happen. I look forward to others nickname input.

I agree  Carlos Gomez goes 100mph all the time even when he steals baseball 2nd ith majors at 13 right now. This is the firs time the Twins had a good basestealer since Kirby Pucket and Torri Hunter in his prime. "The Cycle" fits good.

First off, I love nicknames, but I also do not want to choose one hastily. "The Cycle" definitely has potential and I am by no means ruling it out, but I think we must wait a little longer.

Second, this guy is so fun to watch. He' s got that little kid competitiveness where he always tries hard, runs hard, and shows his jubilation after making a good play. He has made plenty of rookie mistakes this year but I love the guy and can't wait to see what he'll be doing in a couple of years for our team.

Last, I would like to give him props for his defense as well. Naturally, his speed is his most valuable attribute and it definitely helps him cover all that ground in center, but he looks like a very solid outfielder. It is hard to follow what Torii did in that position, but Gomez is doing his best.

I still like "Go-Go" personally.
This kid may be inconsistent, but boy is he exciting to watch!  If he can hit for the cycle this early in his career, it wouldn't surprise me to see him do it again.  And if he does, maybe "The cycle" becomes even more appealing.
