Starting to look like Buxton should learn to bunt. Assuming he hurt whatever he hurt yesterday on the swing. Didn’t seem like he should have over exerted while trotting to first. Ongoing Back injuries can be career ending for gymnasts. Doctors will encourage retirement if they don’t want to have pain for the rest of their lives.

Should the Twins Pursue Wil Myers?

the best way to learn would be up here in the majors -

Why do we always have to do this? -

I would add Berrios. But we all know he did not want to be here with this dumpster diving/hope and pray team in the prime of his career. -
It looks much worse the way the Twins are hitting and obvious that his bat is SORELY missed. It also seems like all the trades done in the last few years have not been in the Twins favor. What makes me mad it they can't or won't go sign and pay a top level pitcher.

Sorry meant batting champ but thanks for straightening me out.

See tons of comments on FB praising the Twins for being in first place, We all know where they would be in any other division. A year ago the Marlins ended with a .427 and the Twins a .481 and 3rd place in the pathetic ALC. This year the Twins are .493 and barely hanging onto 1st place the Marlins are .560 and holding onto a Wild Card (they are behind Atlanta with a .644)

Sorry but 20/20 is perfect vision. In this case I would say they are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. Instead of trading away an MVP they should have loosened the purse strings and paid for a #3-4 started, but I am afraid no decent pitcher would want to come here while in the prime of his career. Think that is why we get older and almost broken pitchers. They need to focus on the minors and get those guys GOOD and ready. SWR is a perfect example. IMO they never let them stay for maybe a game or two before they are sent back down. How to you learn to pitch in the MLB unless you get a good chance.

I was NEVER for it. Besides being an exceptional hitter this year and last, he has personality that is sorely missing from this group of misfits.
-
Yeah, pretty sure he is thrilled to be out of this organization.
-
I totally get they need a #1 starter pitching but in this case they should have "bought" one instead of trading Arraez.

I luckily have had a fun to follow team with the Blue Jays. Now I can add the Marlins (today was tough Jays v Marlins). Last year at this time the Marlins record was .426 and this year is .560 and if they playoffs started today they would be in. What a turn around!

This Team is Just the Timberwolves

Agree!

I wasn't thinking about pitching as much as hitting. But eventually we need to get players up and a few starts or innings to see what they have. IMO going forward this is more of an audition year now.
-
Is 22,000 even half full? Even sadder is do they care.
-
LOL...how do you turn something around that has be backwards since they were hired. Either Rocco doesn't know how he could turn this around or is not allowed to try anything new, IMO it is time to sit or get rid of most of the team and let the AAA team have their chance and learn how to play at the MLB level. I actually think the AAA team would take 3 of 4 from the MLB team.

That will be way less expensive and a great way to father son/daughter time that used to be taking my boy to a game. I can't even imagine paying a couple hundred dollars to sit in that heat and not even seeing a hit.
-
Two things that happened yesterday. First was the update on his non-return or mostly likely will never play CF again. Even though the news is more than devastating it is about time they gave the fans an update so we no longer have to speculate. I know it is not much but he did get a couple hits and RBI's yesterday. Unfortunately with the non-trade he will be the DH for a long time. This will most likely lower the chances of winning games, the Division or a play-off run. I guess it is what it is. I am so happy they let us know.

Buxton had a good article on MLB. He gives us a glimmer of what is going on with him. He say's he feels great. “I still feel great,” Buxton said. “It just ain't going the way I want it to, you know? Just probably doing a little more guessing and not trusting what I'm doing right now. But if you don't feel like your swing is there, that's what you tend to do. Got a good idea now of where I want to be, and it better be good. I’ve got to stay positive.”
-
Thanks for the lecture! My issue is how he sugar coats the whole situation and never admits how bad they are or holds himself or others accountable. Just touchy feely the are going to get better.

Fun read both about Arraez and expectations that were/have been set. "The last time the Marlins were 11 games over .500, they had a different name, uniform and ballpark. Hit machine Luis Arraez was playing Little League ball in San Felipe, Venezuela. Eury Pérez was 6 years old." Luis Arraez gets five hits as Marlins win fifth straight (mlb.com)

Statements like "this is unacceptable", calling out the veteran leaders making the big $$$. I think maybe he is not allowed to express his true feelings? But many fans are feeling like they think this is good enough or acceptable or even fixable.
