    Is it possible they are sitting Buxton so he won't hit the number of games or at bats to get to his incentives? I don't remember specifics, just that he needs a certain number of games or at bats to hit his max. They are not playing him to his potential (seriously DH'ing him when he is the star center fielder). Seems he is off at least every 3rd game? He can't get on a roll or hot streak like this IMO. All and all it is ridiculous. I won't buy tickets again because part of the fun of the game is to see him on the bases or making the great plays in center field. Just getting old that's all.

    I hate that I cannot watch the games! IMO: Buxton should not sit home games. The crowd needs players to cheer for and get excited about.

    The number of "injuries" have been growing for all teams. I don't think it takes much. They are more concerned about prolonging their careers than playing for now. With the huge contracts you have no choice. It is sad that it got to this point. Starting serious play at such young ages has changed too. I swear you have to declare your sport by the time you are 5 years old now. Then it goes all year long. Baseball was a summer game for kids it is much more than that and if you don't keep playing all year long you will most likely fall behind. This happens with all sports now.

    Last year was supposed to be "the year" we have all been waiting for until it wasn't. It felt like we were going back to re-building and in a month it could be back to that. Losing a key pitcher like Berrios and at the time wondering how long we would have Buxton made it even worse. Probably the most depressing/disastrous season in Twins history. I think we are not ready to get excited yet and if it happens he make get more positive comments and even manager of the year considerations. We as MN sports fans are always waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under us. I will only call 2022's Baldelli as a successful manager if he get's us past the 1st round of the play-offs. Again it is way too early to get excited or frustrated.

    I purchased tickets to yesterday's game for my daughter and her family (close to $300) for 4 tickets. Main reason was Correa would be playing against Houston. I bought a Correa jersey for my 10 year old grandson when he first signed so thought it would be a fun game to attend. Star Wars night was a plus and the fact that the ownership seems to be investing in the team weighed into my decision. Well it didn't turn out to be a good night first because Correa didn't play, and then the weather (spent a lot of time in the underground shelter). They can't go to today's game so hoping getting replacement tickets to another game will be a possibility. That is a lot of money to pay for a family of 4 to attend less than 1/2 of a baseball game.

    It's been 6 games and except for a few the team as a whole is nothing to brag about. Against LA the twins had 6 total hits. If you are going to bench him or trade him send Kepler with him.

    I would add the inability to watch on TV has hurt. How do you get to know a team when you can't catch a game on TV. Second is inconsistent line-ups. I would be nice to have mostly the same players play each game. Get over the stats and who bats better against which pitchers.
  8. MABB1959
    What about right field?
  9. MABB1959
    Finally someone moving Kepler down. Not sure what is wrong but his ST is not off to a good start.
  10. MABB1959
    How long will they keep going with Kepler?
  11. MABB1959
    When will our front office(s) learn that the Yankees always trade up and give us garbage! Hicks/JR Murphy sound familiar?
  12. MABB1959
    Not sure why we traded away Suzuki in 2014. He has a some decent years. Seems better than what we have had.
  13. MABB1959
    The Yankees always know what they are doing. Oh my!
  14. MABB1959
    Seems like a great trade. Just don't want to see an article in 2022 about Gray being out for the season
  15. MABB1959
    Any trade with the Yankee's makes me nervous.
  16. MABB1959
    When do the players feel the hit?
  17. MABB1959
    So SS choice: Sign a highly paid player? Go with Royce Lewis/Gordon and see what you have? Outfield: Play Celestino and move Kepler to 4th outfielder to see what he has? This year seems to be the year for all 4 of these players to compete to win the full-time job for 2023.
  18. MABB1959
    Just how long do you wait. Just saying give him this year and if he is not MLB ready will he ever be?
  19. MABB1959
    Can Celestino play right field? Seems Kepler is the weakness if Buxton stays healthy?
  20. MABB1959
    I didn't read the comments yet. What's the deal with Royce Lewis? Was it a total fail as a first round first pick? He was drafted in 2017. If he was that great why isn't he here or coming in 2022. I would bring him up give him 2022 and stop the if's/guessing. I would not spend that much on a 2022 SS. Let Lewis come up and thrive or fail. We are letting Kepler stay could Lewis be worse?
  21. MABB1959
    Can't hurt but why are the Twins always signing or waiting for the hope and pray players. Pretty much sick and tired of it.
  22. MABB1959
    When I saw the headline, I was curious that you could find 5 good things. I would give them one and that is Buxton. Nelson Cruz twice? Plus the fact he is no longer here? I see we got some prospects for Nelson but not sure they can be graded for a year. Pineda (hasn't played much). Polonco is a good player. But resigning him is a stretch for a great move. I think 5 is a stretch and the only thing to stay positive are how will the players we got for Nelson Cruz pan out?
  23. MABB1959
    At least there will be a larger screen for the fewer and fewer fans that show up.. The scoreboard is part of the second phase of a two-part, $29.5 million project, the cost of which is split evenly between the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Ballpark Authority (MBA), the government agency that oversees the publicly owned building.
  24. MABB1959
    Sorry the numbers hurt my head. I wasn't clear but can't any of SS's drafted in the first round be ready? Why draft them otherwise. I would give Gordon this whole year and if he can't hack it move to Lewis. If he can't hack it move to the next. If none of them can make it something is seriously wrong with our scouts!
  25. MABB1959
    This may be the dumbest question ever but why can't they use their 1st round draft pick(s) from 2014, 2017 or 2019? Seems silly to waste 3 first round draft picks and not have them ready by 2022. From what I can tell if they do not get a couple of great pitchers it really isn't going to matter anyway.
