It’s a meaningless game played on the road. We can invent milestones for him to surpass, but it’s probably just as well to get one last look at someone like Outman. Given Buxton’s injury history,

9/28/25.... Rocco's last game.  Any chance Twins Daily issues a commorative coin?

This has been as disappointing a season as I can remember. The trade sell off was a bit much too much to believe but we will find out if it bears fruit or not.

Here's to a better season of Twins baseball next year. By better I mean better fundamentals, hustle and defense.

edit; hitting also

Getaway day line-up...

Martin, Jeffers, Lewis, Clemens, Lee, McCusker, Fitzy, Vazquez, Outman....

What bonus's did Buxton have coming up that Pohlad benched him?

My 1st thought too.

I would hope Baldelli asked Buxton whether he wanted to play or not. 

I thought I'd heard that he just passed  plate appearance bonus a day or two ago, which would have been at least the second earned bonus this season.  I don't believe that the next bonus level was close enough to attain today in any reasonable or realistic scenario.

553 plate appearances, or some number close to that.

I would hope the number was unattainable, especially if the narrative is "we play to win every game".

Other bonuses seem to be tied to where he finishes in the AL MVP voting.  I would certainly think he'll get at least some down ballot votes there.

567 PA was the next bonus.

I would hope a professional athlete would never say he did not want to play...

He definitely wasn't going to hit that today.

Seems like Buxton should be in the lineup or at least makes an appearance in the game. One can say - nothing to play for/last game, but the Phillies have nothing to play for/last game of season as well and they have their starters in the lineup. I expect four of them to be taken out during the game.

Baldelli writes out the line-up card, not Buxton....

Given Buxton’s injury history, I’m just glad he can go into the offseason healthy.

Guessing it was Rocco's choice to not be in the starting lineup.  And, for the record, Buck was the DH yesterday.

Mentioned elsewhere, but Michael A. Taylor announced he's retiring after today.  White Sox have him in the starting lineup, batting ninth naturally.

I always sensed a quiet dignity about him.  His hitting was usually the weak part of his resume, though "he had a little pop."  But he could beat the other team with his glove, no moment was too big for him, and for the right situation that could be enough.  He earned a spot in my heart when he bailed out Louis Varland with his catch at the wall in the '23 playoff against Toronto.

Michael A Taylor?  For me, he'll always be Michael THE Taylor.
