Article: Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 5/21 @ 7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

Sorry I didn't answer, I was too busy watching another Twins batter hit another feeble pop up

I have a morbid curiosity, so I went even further back and before May 10, the last time the twins hit a homer with more than 1 man on base was wayyyy back on April 20, the Rosario grand slam in Tampa.

 

So in summary, the twins have hit TWO homers worth more than 2 runs in the past month.

I don't need to see Grossman anymore. There is no upside on offense, and we know about his defense. Move on.

Buxton gets in the hole 0-2 and strikes out. Seen this movie too many times.

Since it’s the Tigers… that means that ‘you know who’ is coming to town… the guy whose last name starts with a “G”. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that he was one of us. He was a part of us for such a long time that his face is still probably burned into your memory.

 

Indeed.

Is this on auto fill on your device? If not, you may want to add it. Save time and all.

[PDX Twin]

When Buxton breaks a bat it reassures me that the one he is using is actually made of wood, not a plastic whiffle bat. Of course, it rarely matters because he does not often make contact.

[drock2190]

Nasty pitch?

 

No, it was a non competitive pitch that Buxton decided to swing at before hand.

[Aggies7]

Man look at all those Detroit injuries. And we’re hung up on the absence of sano and Castro being our downfall lol

[VATwinsFan]

 

Former Twin Rule 5 Kinley pitching?

Some guy named Robbie Erlin.

This really made me laugh

swing at low and away strike three, run to first if the ball goes in the dirt. Not a bad approach, unless the ball doesn't go in the dirt.

Time for Buxton to spend some time in AAA. I don't think I've ever seen a worse hitter than the 2018 version of Byron Buxton. The ABs aren't at a professional level.

When will our FO give up Buxton? He is not a major league player.

[Aggies7]

Bull dozier now 1 for his last 23 with TEN k’s.

 

That’s good for a .043 average

I will say that this guy does have some reverse screwball spin on his fastball.

 

Still, you are correct.

[twinsbaby]

Our scout who draft Buxton need to be fired. This guy has zero potential right now.

Not fun with numbers post! They are just too easy to pile up right now. Good thing my wife has a concert tonight and I won't watch gameday

[Aggies7]

This Minnesota United FC manager, think he has any clue what’s going on with this game?

I'm not convinced that would help. I'm sorry to say that I've given up on Buxton and Sano, and therefore on this generation of the Twins' offense. Little Whiff and Big Whiff.

I know math is not allowed on threads but I have no idea how else to describe what I see

If you're looking for a top 3, the April 2016 and April 2017 vintages of Byron Buxton would fill out the podium nicely

Oh he has potential all right. 

 

Too bad is floor is below sea level

[yarnivek1972]

Well just let Castellanos beat us himself

Probably just a coincidence that former Tiger Frank Cattalanotto seemed to always be the guy that got the key hit against the Twins back in the day.

Blast from the past there

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Only the 4th inning, but the top 5 exit velocities tonight would all have to belong to the Tigers, I would think.

You may have to adjust that when I “exit” this game by hurling my iPad out the window
