Wondering just how bad Buxton's health actually is. It can't be good.  Can't play the field, 3 days at DH in a row is apparently the limit. Not good.

It also looked like some kid was handing him a new nail file, reminiscent of Joe Neikro circa 1987

If I remember correctly 1987 was the year of the '"Harmonic Convergence."

 

 

Also the Twins had a successful end to the season.

Encouraging start by Maeda. Good command outside of the HR pitch and has solid velocity/good movement. I think he's at least someone that can be a good fire man in that Dodgers role he was in. I'm not sure how confident I am yet that he holds up in a SPing role over a full season, but that's what Ober would be for.

But kinda hard to believe them when they say Buxton is going to be the CF later in the year, when they're not willing to DH him five games in a row. In a way, I actually hope he has a VERY small tweak of some sort. Because if it's just a matter of being this conservative with him, I don't see us ever actually being able to replace Taylor in the lineup with someone that can actually hit. And we going to need that.

If he plays every 4 out of 5 days for the year, that’s way more than any of us expects. Heck, I expected him to have a day off already, so, dunno. I get that it’s what we do here, speculate, but I’d rather not borrow trouble, especially concerning Bux, and just take it at face value until told otherwise. Although, I do wish he were playing. I do consider that a negative on the year, but starting 4-0 … perspective is good.

Well I had my quota of people telling me all spring there was "nothing to see here" regarding Buxton not playing. "Getting plenty of ABs on the back fields." 

 

Why some people feel the need to deny, or downplay the obvious, is baffling.

As is the need to attack anyone that states the obvious.

Imagine where the Twins could go if they could actually score runs.

Just got to turn the game on.  Woof, that’s an ugly lineup.

Nick Gordon leading off against Sandy freaking Alcantara?  Is he just trolling at this point?
