I sure hope MAT's ok, but what if he has to go on the IL with a concussion? Or even if he just misses a few games? Does Buxton finally play some CF?

I'm guessing they bring someone up from AAA

Castro, Buxton can't even pinch run.

No

[rwilfong86]

[mnfireman]

This guy has no idea where his pitches are going

What to do? Dump Kepler AND Gallo, call up Larnach and Wallner. Not sure if it will be that much better, but can't be worse.

I would actually advocate for this. I think both need to be up and playing.

[rwilfong86]

I was at the game last May when Royce hit the Grand Slam at Target Field, how about an encore today?

[Parfigliano]

Bases loaded 0 out.  Use it dont lose it for a change.

Celestino is done with his rehab and was activated and optioned to AAA

[mnfireman]

A few batters behind for those who may have seen the post!!

Lewis instead of Kepler is an improvement, I think.

[Robert Floren]

Solano alertly stayed on 1st base on a very wild pitch.  lol, major brain malfunction

[rwilfong86]

We'll take an RBI single

[RickOShea]

You know how difficult it is, with all the batting practice and live pitching you face to strike out, so easily?  If Gallo, Buxton, Kepler and a few others just windmilled their bats when the pitch is thrown, they'd have a better chance of making contact, then they have with their current action.

[Kummel]

Hey this looks good!

They paid Molitor to sit. And I think Gardy was released before his contract was up? (Not sure on that). So it has been done.

Wasn’t Molitor on his last year?  Not that it matter and not sure how long or how much they would be out for Rocco.  Not saying Molitor was good but I would bet that Falvey and Levine had that was a stipulation in their agreement.  It really doesn’t matter but we are all extremely frustrated!

 

 

[RickOShea]

A 22 bounce single up the middle and solano doesn't score?  Not very smart baseball.  These are the things that kill us.

[rwilfong86]

Glad they didn't send Solano there

Molitor was paid to sit. I think Gary was, too. But you are right, Molitor was on his last year, and I think Gardy was, too. Just saying that they still paid.

[Parfigliano]

Time to earn the check Gallo.  Gotta get at least 1 in

[mnfireman]

Station-to-station baseball by the hometown 9?? Can't anybody go second to home or first to third??

[MABB1959]

Look what happens when you put in your best player and bench the worst.

I don't think the use of the term when used properly is a problem. But naming a team after an ethnic group without permission is not proper usage. One person's "political correctness gone crazy" is another person's offensive insult. And it's no one's place to tell another person that they should not be offended. I'm not a moderator so I can't impose any action other than to ignore all your future comments.

Okay, enough of this topic. It’s site policy. Get over it. It’s not a lot to ask. Let’s move on now. Thank you.

[mnfireman]

Maybe we will see Buxton in CF today afterall...

[rwilfong86]

Buxton hitting for Vazquez 🫣

[mrtwinsfan]

Need ya here Byron, Cmon  

[Parfigliano]

Anything inside Bux better let it hit him

[MABB1959]

If Buxton gets a hit or RBI it could help his confidence 

[rwilfong86]

This is Buxton's signature moment of 2023
