But if he re-injures the hip, he's more than likely done for the season.

And if he plays hurt and keeps racking up negative WAR, what’s the difference?

Bats need to wake up!!! Let’s get runs!!!

unless the Twins are getting walks and errors by the other teams ,  we r seeing what they really are ,  and all this 1st pitch  b.s.   they will get no walks ,     They r what i thought they were b4 season started -  fundamentally bad - very low baseball I.Q. and i still enjoy watching ,   need a makeover for sure , new owner new mgmt will be a start - i hope    Go Twins

Because the other team has to respect that he could break out during any PA...

[S Bart]

I would not be surprised if zBuehle leaves after the 6th...dont believe he has went to the 7th in any game this year

Jenkins with another multi homer game, his third in the last two weeks.  I know the Twins want to ride with the players that have been there all season, but Jenkins is not making it easy for them.

No he is not making it easy for the Twins, but I think they like that. The thing I love about the way Jenkins is hitting now is that he is taking what the pitcher gives him. Outside pitch home run to left field at around 100 mph, pitch down in the strike zone is a 106 mph line drive to centerfield, and a pitch in his down and in the strike zone is a 108 HR to right field. Don't give him anything worth swinging at and he took two walks and stole a base too. Walker is hot right now.

Thank you for the update on his AB's.

A small group here want to get rid of him, and he's going to hit 25 bombs after a slow start. 

[RpR]

Roden hits a double after Only 3 pitches, WOW.

They haven’t been pitching around him. Playing “careful” only makes sense if you can be productive doing it. He hasn’t been. It’s a gamble to think it will turn around, but one they’re willing to make apparently.

Agreed. I think the team wanted to see better swing selection, using all of the field a little more and, of course, more power.

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

And is second on the team in RBI's hitting typically hitting in the lower part of the lineup.  I think he is a good building block moving forward.

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