The team and Buxton admit he needs surgery but he's in the dugout tonight and working towards still playing this year.  This makes no sense at all.

I get the sense Buxton makes the rules.

Or…Twins management is more clueless and pathetic than we think.

One of these for sure. Maybe both.

Larnach hit a hittable one

 Just not the right way.

[Patzky]

That's a great AB. 

[Patzky]

Walker needs a HR off a pitcher pitcher.

I'd settle for any hit.

only bad part of Jenkins is , every time he  has moved up its taken awhile to get going,  and i was hoping we wouldnt see that again-  but here we are

The way they are treating Buxton is what every other team does with their top player, the player gets more latitude in deciding to play or not.  And Buxton was our best hitter in the first half of the season.  

I do wish he would shut it down for the season, but to think this is being handled differently than any other similar situation is not realistic.

That’s why they should’ve called him up a month ago. 

[Patzky]

Maybe they'll wear Fedde down. A few lengthy AB so far.

Right. Who will ever forget that bloop to right in one of his 7 postseason PA’s over his 12 year career. Unforgettable. It’s hard to find a player that’s meant more to his org in that time.

They should have consulted you instead of team doctors. What were they thinking? 

[Patzky]

Solo HR won't kill ya unless you give up one every inning.

He's here for at least two more years, that we need to accept.  As for the playoffs, the Twins have not put a consistent winning team around him similar to the Angels and Trout.

They did say that the team thinks he needs surgery too.

[mrmpls]

Twins hitters , its okay to also hit a few out

The doctors that say he needs surgery or the doctors that say it’s fine for him to play full go?

Yep. I’ve had the same hip injury he does. The cartilage isn’t gonna tear any more than it is. If he can power thru the pain before the offseason kudos to Buxton.

Or the doctors that say if you can take the pain go for it because the surgery is gonna be pretty much the same regardless.
