Twins (Ober) vs Padres (Buehler): 08/23/26, 3:10 PM

No team sits Buxton at this point. IL? Maybe, but not likely. He's a star when healthy, and teams play stars.

At some point...a reset is needed..maybe a PT playing role

And the TD faithful will be upset he's not in the line-up and is a waste of a roster spot until he's healthy....

They can hype Buxton speed all day.  The truth is he has never been a base stealer.

He’s exceptional, elite even, when he makes attempts. It’s just that 90% of his career…without much exaggeration…there’s been a reason that he doesn’t make attempts.

 No team sits a guy like this if he's healthy.

If he is active, he is playing, there is no other option for someone like Buxton.  If he says he can play and is not injured, they aren't going to put him on the IL.  There is a difference between being dinged up and injured. 

But they aren't going to sit him, he is our best player and it stinks that he may not be 100% right now but he is going to be in the lineup every day no matter what we say.  He has earned that right.

I see the faithful TD making questionable comments all the time...I think it is being unfaithful to keep playing him and watching the slide...hope I am wrong...

Jenkins, 5 AB's today:  Single, 2 HR"s, and 2 BB's.

Slacker.

We can't use you up here, Walker.  No room.

Silliness.

6th on the all time team list..better than morny

Buxton is in his 12th year and has 124 SB.  He is not the base stealer that TC Media would have you believe.

Excuses...his playing time has drastically been cut short due to constant injuries..not saying it his fault...but I question his future production

[Patzky]

Need a DP

Breach of contract refuse to pay him anything ever again and work 24×7×365 towards league banishment.

Breach is fair if you don’t care if the fans revolt.

good luck on the ban, it’s unlikely and far more likely he’s signed to another large contract with another team

Well...they posted here that he was 6th all time with Twins..scoreboard..so maybe they were wrong. 

[Road trip]

Roden was either way too deep or got a pretty bad jump on that...

he is not at all what he has been -  play him fine -  with the roster construction  they have to !!   Twins r just as guilty

Every game there is a ball that drops in the outfield. Maybe/hopefully the Twins choose to upgrade the outfield defense next season. For now, all we can hope for is that the current group hits.
