    Oh man.
  2. stringer bell
    If/when Miranda is sent down, he needs to work on being more selective.
  3. stringer bell
    Don’t want to PH Gordon here?
  4. stringer bell
    Bases loaded, nobody out = kryptonite.
  5. stringer bell
    Baseball in the ‘20s. Smeltzer did his job and then some. He certainly will get another start. It would have been nice to get a W. It doesn’t change the fact he had a great outing.
  6. stringer bell
    Two straight leads blown. Not a good trend.
  7. stringer bell
    Just 7 for Devin.
  8. stringer bell
    Bench him.
  9. stringer bell
    A bit off-topic. I think Dallas Keuchel is cooked.
  10. stringer bell
    Good hitting by Celestino. The right handed not quite regulars have produced.
  11. stringer bell
    He’s not a .143 hitter. He might not walk more than La Tortuga, but he can hit.
  12. stringer bell
    Devin has a potty mouth.
  13. stringer bell
    Butch was 0-39, so Buck has a little room.
  14. stringer bell
    The all-time record for hitless at-bats by a Twin position player belonged to Butch Wynegar, I believe. IIRC, it was around 30 at-bats. Buxton is getting too close.
  15. stringer bell
    Buck below the Mendoza Line.
  16. stringer bell
    Arraez for Gio is basically a wash. As far as being a base runner at first.
  17. stringer bell
    Soft liner to third.
  18. stringer bell
    What is your prediction record?
  19. stringer bell
    Good to hear that Alcala is progressing. It would be great to have him back (and effective) in a couple weeks.
  20. stringer bell
    Smeltzer exceeds his strikeout total from his last start!
  21. stringer bell
    It has been reported in the past week to ten days that the load management plan is in place due to continuing knee issues.
  22. stringer bell
    Not a transaction, but MLB Trade Rumors is reporting that Mitch Garver won’t be returning to catching any time soon. Garver suffered an arm injury and was on the IL for 10 days. Meanwhile Ranger catchers, outside of Mitch, have done just fine. Garver will DH and possibly could get some reps at first base.

    I know that the people making load management decisions have far more information on Buxton and they are able to consult with medical professionals who come up with treatment plans for a living. That said, it really doesn’t seem to be working. It’s quite possible that even after Buck would be activated that the plan would be to continue to give Buxton frequent days off.

    Agree. I will throw this in, though. Kepler has a history of some pretty sudden deep valleys. Picture if he puts a 1-16 up against the Royals this weekend. The fairly gaudy numbers would not look so good and the doubters would be all over Max. In the past two months, Jorge Polanco had a nice stretch bookended by snags and Gary Sanchez seemed to be coming out of it only to go 3-21 this past week. Especially with diminished offense a good week can make us forget struggles and a bad week or more (Byron Buxton) can erase great counting numbers. Players do what players do. It takes sustained performance for a long time to really change their career profile.

    Stolen bases have been devalued in recent years. In the big picture, they aren't that important, but I think getting guys into scoring position without using an out should become a higher priority with scoring and home runs down so dramatically. Buxton and Gordon are the only two Twins right now that I would saw have top 25% speed. Kepler, Polanco, Celestino would be above average with the remainder of the position player falling below average. I would hope that additions to the position player side of the roster would include players with plus speed.
