[SS MagicMark]

Time for another GDP.

 

Reverse jinx worked!

On the bright side, we won't be hearing any Buxton trade rumors until this winter. Or I should say not until after the lockout is over.

Other than trivial babble, you will not be hearing it at all.

He will retire a Twin

[Baumer67]

Twins are going to set a record for double plays in a game

Guys, we can use our brains from time to time and not rely on AI to think on our behalf…

Buxton was called up on the 62nd regular season game of 2015 (100 possible), 9 other seasons with 162 possible games, and 2020 with 60 games, game 108 this year.

Total games Buxton could have played since his call up: 1,726 games

I’m going to subtract the AAA games he played early in his career because he did stink with his bat early on. 49 games in 2016, and 36 games in 2018. 

Total games Buxton could have played subtracting his early career struggles: 1,641 games

Total games played in CF: 783 games

My conclusion is we have only seen the true Buxton experience in Center Field 47% of the time in the last 11 years. That’s a god dang shame.

Probably why Roden does not start.

Ourman would have got to that hit.

Outman can’t hit, but defense matters… perfect example of a run that shouldn’t have been and unfortunately for Bradley it could give him the loss.

[h2oface]

Funderburk entering game

29.1 innings 21 hits 19 walks 2 HBP only 19 Ks. 
 

Now more walks than Ks. Scary

32 year old with Degenerative Hip issue ,  its good for Byron only ,   be honest  what do you think a team would offer at this point of career ?  

Pretty much to a good team, with a 2-3 window that can squint and imagine him healthy and productive in a postseason (despite the fact that that has never happened). Hitting as well as he ever has when available, still fine in CF when available, doesn’t cost a ton, etc.

[mrmpls]

Shelton , ?   why is Caratini  playing over a Younger more talented player .  Team was doin fine with Jeffers out , without all this position b,s, to play bell and Caratini,   Till this changes  we will never be a competitive team this year

Yeah because no other playoff team would want him on their roster...

[Patzky]

Looks close on MLb, ball four was a strike. Oh well.. 

[Vanimal46]

Why am I getting flashbacks of the Rockies series before the 2025 trade deadline?Losing to this Royals team without their best player is a crime.

We lost a game to the Rockies and lost game one to the A's. Mental errors and no hitting. 

[mrmpls]

Rat and Caratini ,   look lost

It is a shame....but the injuries have prevented him from being a great player in my opinion. It has also very much limited the team due to an expectation of counting on his presence. The AI stats came from MLB

The Rockies flashback I am having from last year is when we needed to feast on bad opponents… but ended up losing 3 out of 4 to them. 

[Patzky]

Still in the game but nobody except Clemens seems interested.

The Athletics pitchers pitched a very good game; the Twins did not have 4 double plays against them there.

Said it earlier today in another thread…. if there is anyone you should move it would be Buxton …. solo homers and not being available is what you can count on….. 

There is no decent trade value, and it sounds as if he only wants to go to Atlanta only. Doubt they want him. .Who will be the up and coming ...Centerfielder...for the Twins?

[RpR]

Lee chugs into second base.

[mrmpls]

Lee .  finally !!
