I was thinking if the month May is this bad, beginning of June Buxton would go down. At some point he needs to start making a little bit of progress, he cannot be this inept a hitter at least you would think now.

If Buxton is still hitting under .100 in June what would a June swoon look like?

Between innings, TIBN runs some "get to know em" type questionnaires on Twins players.  On the Taylor Rogers one, it was revealed that Rogers has a twin brother.  Are we sure that was Taylor pitching, and not his brother having a laugh?

I get more frustrated watching Mauer hit than Buxton.

 

I still have hope Buxton will improve.  Or at least try.

No message, just trying to win.

 

Buxton doesn't need "messages" at this point, does he?

 

I would hope he has unlimited texts.  He's in the majors, spring for the unlimited plan, for crying out loud!

Fun fact: Today is National High Five Day! Did you know? Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke were the first people to celebrate with a high five 40 years ago! Dusty hit a moon shot on the last day of the 1977 regular season, and Burke raised his arm up to celebrate. 

Which makes me think, what did people do before the high five? Chief?

If, still under .100 in June??? I would say it was another swoon in a previous month.

I don't think I have ever typed swoon lol lol

No excitement for either, here. So equal frustration.

Well, he hasn't improved at all, so if messages have been given to him? He is not responding.

I don't think improvement is about messages at this point. Nor do I think he's not trying. None of that....I think a: he's not that good at hitting in general; b: he's pressing really hard right now.

He's going to have to hit much better than he has - even to stay up through May.  He's not "struggling" right now.  He's not "slumping".  He's not "in a bad patch".   Buxton isn't a major league hitter right now.  If you took a high school prospect - today - and threw him into the Twins batting order tomorrow....that's what you're getting right now with Bux.  Strikeouts, foul outs, and bunt outs.  Mostly strikeouts.  It's bad on historic levels.  It's one thing to let a young guy work things out.  It's another to allow a player to set records for futility.  Bux has a lot of work to do to stick with this team past April 30 at this point.

There's our 4th/5th OF, Eduardo Escobar. Bring up Adriana, Vargas, Park, Paulson, Palka, somebody! We can't win if we can't score and, let's face it, we can't score.    

Agreed.  There needs to be some kind of spark.  Or it's just a team slump and they will come roaring out of it eventually (hopefully before we're 15 games behind)

Ted Turner got his hands on it.  Why he's interested in Chief is anyone's guess.
