Someone tell Buxton he actually needs to swing the bat to hit the ball.

To win the lottery you gotta at least buy a ticket.

Ok this game thread has me convinced. I finally have to give in.

I now believe the Twins will not score any runs today

I now believe the Twins  will have a season record of 10-152.

I now believe Buxton will strikeout 600 times this year.

I now believe Julien will never be successful 

I now believe Kepler needs to be released 

I now believe that all the coaches and Rocco should be fired for incompetence. 

I miss anything?

 

I'm with ya on #1, #5, and #6.

This is actually a good sign!

Max is a head case right now.  He just doesn't seem to be a very happy camper.  I don't know if that's a reflection of his performance, or if that is  what's causing his issues.  It's like you expect some revelation about him personally, that would explain his issues.

It will probably come out that he really would rather be a ballet dancer instead of a ball player His parents are, ya know

Probaly can say that about Buxton and Gordon too.

[Old time Twinkie47]

Have they figured out yet that Buxton is not suited to be a DH

 

Put in center and he will hit!

[RickOShea]

Why do Twins players toss foul balls or final out pop ups/flies into the stands.  I would expect them to rifle the ball into the stands.

[Aggies7]

As negative as I am today I do have a feeling that this could be the inning.

it better be anyway

[Vanimal46]

Last I checked, Jax is #2 in MLB in WPA so far. The bullpen has been looking good

I don't think he would qualify for a sombrero.  I think a beanie is more appropriate.

Christian Vasquez will not hit a homer here.

A hat with a propeller would work 

[Aggies7]

Good grief he might get the CG

5 pitch 8th for Cole. Why are we making this easy for him to pitch a complete game?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

Maybe just gas.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cole come out for the 9th.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see him finish his shutout.

[RickOShea]

I hate to admit this, but if I was a guaranteed a split of this 4 game series against the Yankys, I would have gladly taken it.

[Aggies7]

That’s what I get for trying to be positive 

[jkcarew]

In trading Arraez, we kinda went all-in on the HR offense. I'm fine with the trade. The power has been there...but really, really bunched into just a few games.

And yet it still feels bad.

Cause he's throwing strikes ?
