He is batting horribly...not sure if he will not even stay in the majors...believe he may be below 200

He's been bad, but he's still hitting just before average overall. Larnach is barely out hitting him. But I'd understand dealing wallner instead. But if Larnach is better, I deal him. I'm expecting Emma, Keaschell, and Jenkins all available next year in the OF at some point. But I'm not going to say your wrong. 

[Patzky]

Lots to do here.

[CRF]

We got Topa-Pedoed...with an assist from the manager. 

[Mike Sixel]

The bottom of the bullpen is not good.

Unearned, if that is any consolation.

 

[Twindy]

Well, not to nitpick, but if Buxton had taken ball four instead of swinging at a ball over his head, this game probably would have been over after nine innings, and we would’ve had the win

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What nect?

[Doc Lenz]

Jax is as much to blame as Topa.

[Twindy]

Still a chance they will bring Kelly in!🥳

This is an absurd take. 

What's absurd is thinking that a late inning reliever with a 3.86 ERA is anything but a slightly below-average arm. He couldn't even make half the bullpens in MLB. He's shuttle fodder, at best. 

I know you might like the guy, think he's a good person, and hope he does well. In fact that's the way I feel about him, too. 

But he stinks. Stats don't lie. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Why is it not allowed to ask a guy -Buxton  about taking a pitch to give your Designated  pinch runner a chance to steal , or Rocco ?????????????????

Blaming Buxton - the only guy who hits on this team and who hit a HR earlier - after Jax and Topa blew the game and the rest of the batters went 4-34 is incredibly tone deaf.

If we use the top of the pen at the end of games, would that mean the bottom is... the starters?

[Patzky]

Vader again!

I see you’re still butt hurt after people taking exception to your earlier post. Your compass is broken..

The Jorge Polanco trade continues to pay dividends. 

Y'know, I heard Gabriel Gonzalez is having a good season in the minors, can't wait to see him help the team in 2028!

Entertaining end of the game for the most part. Better than the usual viewing experience 

[Blyleven2011]

Manfred ball always seems to get the best of the twins  , I know we've lost more than won ,,,

See ya Tuesday night  , cubbies ball  ...

[Patzky]

Welp. That stunk a little

Criticizing and Blaming are totally different,   Criticizing  buxton is warranted being he is supposed to help carry this Team, ,  he needs to be Smarter  in alot of game situations ,  

[S Bart]

Hope Ryan and Buxton make the all star game...waiting...
