Article: Game Thread: Twins v Brewers, 5/18 @ 7:10pm CT

[twinsbaby]

I just hope the front office quickly to trade some players so that we can compete No.1 pick in 2019 rule 4 draft.

[USAFChief]

Call up Gordon. Don't care if he's "ready," you can't keep running out this lineup.

 

Trade for a catcher, Realmuto is my choice. Bite the bullet. 

 

Should have added a RH hitting OFer over the winter. Might be too late now. So easy to see.

 

Can't really plan for Buxton sucking, or Sano not being able to stay on the field again.

 

But you don't have to sit on your hands and let the season fall apart.

Fortunately, I think going forward, the FO May have to plan on buxton stinking and sano being hurt.

Agree with the RH OF part and the Gordon situation.

 

Disagree on the catcher. Wilson is fine for a backup catcher. We have an above average catcher, but for some reason he is getting a night off every other night. That isn't his fault. 

[Riverbrian]

I talk about 25 guys who can play ofteh. 

 

The Brewers are an example of what I'm talking about. 

 

The Brewers have Braun,Thames and Vogt on the D.L. 

 

The Twins have Castro, Sano and Polanco out. 

 

Look who the Brewers can fill with and Look who the Twins are filling with. 

 

25 guys who can play is what I dream about. 

[OldTimeTwinkie]

What's the over under on any given night on total hits with these 4 bottom hitters?

Probably the most disappointing part of the whole situation. “There’s no one else” has been said a lot about this roster

I disagree on the above average catcher. He might turn out to be a decent hitter.

 

I think the reason Wilson is playing so much is the manager doesn't like his catching either.

[Aggies7]

I don’t rail on Joe often at all, but that was about as lame of a swing as you’ll see on a 3-1 pitch.

Hard to call garver above average at D

Don't disagree. Sorry meant above average offensive catcher.

Agreed. He may as well let him learn on the job and provide some offense though.

 

Not as though there are a lot of options otherwise. Might as well make something of the situation.

Get yer wife a username and password already. This ain't Augusta, women are allowed here.

[Mill1634]

Pitching hasn't been great, but offense hasn't either. Twins offense has failed to score 10 runs yet.

That can’t be true. Feel like we did that at some point

[Mill1634]

Might be time for a "Magill, go throw 80 pitches and hit DFA" time.

[Mill1634]

Nope..scored 9 vs Reds, but gave up 15

I don't know, are these Brewer subs good players? Or are the just good against the Twins. Who's this Choi character?

[Aggies7]

Anyone watch the Netflix doc about the Portland beavers baseball team from back in the 70s? It’s wonderful

Then she should see that the household needs additional representation.

How's their catcher look?

[Mill1634]

Buxton.  Is.  Horrible.

 

Can't even give a competitive AB

[nicksaviking]

Is it just me or does Buxton start every at bat with two strikes before he even steps in the box?

[twinsbaby]

Me, too. Every pitcher knows he will not hit first two pitches so that they throw middle pitches a power hitter will drive HR, but Buxton can't. He is such an overrated player because his speed.

Honestly just feel bad for him. He can’t possibly be having an ounce of fun even with the $$

[mrmpls]

Buxton needs to go to Rochester , and tell him we will see ya after july 4th, he will never be a hitter with that wide stance and lunging out = POPUPS and fly balls , dont they see it??? needs to choke up and learn how to hit down or a even plane,

[jtkoupal]

It's getting late early. The only thing keeping the Twins alive is the underperformance of the Indians, who are still the overwhelming favorites. Playoff probability drops by the day while the Twins continue to lose winnable games against mediocre pitchers. Only real hope now is for Santana and Sano to come back and be productive. The Indians won't be this mediocre all year.
