    Why is anyone calling Buxton soft unbelievable? Why? The MRI has reportedly (repeatedly?) come back clean?? So what is the problem? His hip is sore? Hip discomfort? Sometimes, you gotta play through some discomfort....he was having a tremendous month at the time of this discomfort.... I've heard it said repeatedly from NFL guys that track athletes rarely make it in the NFL because their body has to feel "perfect" in order to perform and that just doesn't happen in the NFL. Buxton appears to me to be one of those guys, whose body has to feel perfect in order to play. That sucks, and I'll continue to say that he has to lower his expectations as to his "comfort" level.

    The highlights I've seen of Culpepper make him look plenty smooth at SS with a very good arm and lateral movement.....

    Yep....3-0 count with leadoff guy on 2nd base and a lefty hitting....how about just once get a green light jump on the fastball and let him pull the ball. Worst case scenario he advances the guy to 3rd. Instead, take the 3-0 fastball. Take the 3-1 cutter and swing at the 3-2 pitch that bounces. SMH

    C'mon.......the MRI comes back clean. Hip discomfort? Does he realize that he doesn't need to be 100% to play? Do you think Salvator Perez has hip discomfort when he catches everyday and then plays 1B on his off-days? Time to suck it up a bit Byron.....

    All we hear about is Brooks Lee's father is a baseball coach. If he didn't teach his kid to bunt, he should be ashamed of himself. Provus: "the bunt is just not something in his game....."

    I hate umps like this guy who seem to expand the strike zone because it's a soft-tossing lefty. He's given Springs about 4 changeups that are way outside. Makes no sense. Just another brutal offensive performance......

    THIS....should've been 5 shoutout with enough pitches to get into the 6th. 8th grade jump on that ball that dropped in front of Martin and how in the world is a ball that hits your glove between your feet and end up in the outfield considered a hit????? I was watching the family celebrate and I was thinking to myself "Not so fast, that's an error....."

    I'm thrilled they won the game, but for the first seven innings, that might have been the most pathetic offensive performance of the year. It was a bad omen when Willie lead off going 3-2 with the starting pitcher yet to throw a strike and then getting rung up on a pitch well outside. The Blue Jays starting pitcher had probably the worst stuff I've seen from a starter all year and he still managed to not give up any runs. Just pathetic AB's all day long. Thank God Royce saved the day on a hanging slider. I really hope Buxton's hip can get comfortable soon. SMH

    Jax threw 10 pitches in the 7th......he couldn't pitch the 8th? Sands is available.. Alcala has been great minus the last outing. Instead........we go to Okert. This one's on you Rocco
  10. cheeseheadgophfan
    This ump is horseshit!!!!!
  11. cheeseheadgophfan
    Yeah....I see where last night Naylor was struck out in the 3rd inning or so which would have been the 3rd out....instead it was called a ball and they went on to score 5 runs.
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    I swear I heard he's one of the fastest on the team....long legs, long strides. Great athlete.
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    Hip discomfort? Are you ****ing me? I've been one of Buxton's biggest defenders, but this is getting ridiculous. I've heard football coaches complain about wide receivers who have "track legs" and are always pulling something and can't/won't play with aches and pains. At some point, you have to play with a little discomfort.
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    I wouldn't mind them offering him arbitration....knee surgery should correct the problem and give him the offseason to rehab. Arm is solid (unless his most recent set-back is arm related). Twins will be too cheap to do it, but with our lack of bullpen arms, I'd take a chance.
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    Yeah....it's not like it's an important game or anything......SMH
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    When Vazquez missed the HR by about 6 inches I turned to my son and said "Cleveland puts up a crooked number next inning guaranteed....." Just one of those days......need Carlos back ASAP
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    What an idiotic play by Hedges......it was ball 4 (not really close to strike 3) and he throws down to second....thank you very much!!!
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    Maybe we could trade for Jorge Lopez......LMAO
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    Triceps tenderness....that's probably good news. Triceps isn't usually indicative of Tommy John surgery, forearm issues are.
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    Not even DH'ing Lewis with a day off tomorrow was waving the white flag.....Buxton is one of my favorite players to watch, but he's more brittle than my 95 year old grandma....missing three games for running into the fence is ridiculous. Rocco's pregame interview again today said he was unsure if Buxton would be available for today (he would have to hear from the trainers)....what happened to he was fine 2 games ago and it was just a scheduled day off?? To have Richards on this roster with Varland at AAA is disgusting. Before i get hammered, I'm not advocating for him to be a starter, but knock, knock....you're in a pennant race. You need to have your best arms on the roster. Richards ain't it. Ridiculous.
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    Is he that bad? I'm struggling to trust the strike zone on TV right now, but if it's correct he's about 50/50 on close calls, most going the Twins way.
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    Margot plays that line drive/ground ball like a grenade.....he let Vaughn walk to second. Really, really a terrible outfielder.
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    What an embarrassing effort from this lineup tonight.....making Mannea look like he's throwing 101 instead of 91. Disgusting.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    You think Varland is giving up 2 runs over 5 innings? LOLOLOLOLOLO
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    Chafin to the Rangers for 2 minor league pitchers (one ranked as #28 in the Rangers system).
