    Gasper: 11 hits 9 RBI

    Unfortunate. I didn’t say that or comment at all about that. You said it. Is that what you are thinking?

    Buxton is getting hits like Wallner’s. Inconsequential. A lead off triple and double. Nobody can drive him in. The other 3 at bats, horrible Ks. One with 2 runners on. Swinging at crap that isn’t even close. But this whole leftover bunch….. I am amazed they even win a few. I feel sorry for Buxton and Ryan and Keaschall. This is like watching a minor league team.

    Could have used Phil Cuzzi on the left field line tonight.

    I would have called a double steal. Gotta love that power bench.
  6. h2oface
    Disgusting is the norm.

    If Buxton could only ever stop swinging at sliders/sweepers so far outside, he might really be a superstar. It is so ingrained in his play. He just can’t stop. He must.know by now that is what he is gonna get.

    It was the 3rd of September……

    2-13 (true to combined averages - .154 for the day), 2 singles, 2 of the total of 3 runs scored, and 2 RBI in a 12-3 loss. Yup. Worth the late inning anticipation for sure. I’m right with you.
  10. h2oface
    I’m excited for the late inning replacements. Too bad Alan Roden is hurt. He would fit right in. The future.

    “At the time, Derek Falvey emphasized that the team passed on other versions of deals that would have brought them higher-upside but less polished players; they believe this group can quickly matriculate and make a difference for them.” Hmmmmm. they believe, eh? Like they believed the teams they constructed the last couple years could compete. Maybe they should try Fantasy Leagues.

    Only Pittsburgh and Texas have hit a jackpot. Only MLB performance matters. Age means nothing, except a player is younger or older. Younger is always nice.

    That Mick Abel is a real prize. Fleeced Philly on that trade. Jhoan who?
  14. h2oface
    Yes! He has made so many mistakes that he is not confident at all. The base running gaff luckily ended up beneficial. The delay made the throw go home and Julien go for third that led to the wild throw there from home and Julien scoring. Toronto played some poor defense, but Varsho in center had two great plays, one robbing a homer, and one running into the wall at full speed without dropping the ball. I couldn’t believe he walked away from that collision.

    As good as a game Buxton had, the horrendous AB in the top of the 8th with runners on first and second, and then second and third was the time to be the leader.

    It's not the way the game used to be played, nor was it accepted to play it that way, regardless of the norm now. Jeffers' mission was accomplished. The play is still live. There are only 2 outs. Things can happen if you force the other team to make a play. Not likely, but sometimes it is successful if a player makes the action happen. This is no different than a runner not running the ground ball out, or watching a fly ball from the plate that you think is a homer and only getting to first instead of a double because it bounced off the wall. If that is stupid baseball **** to talk about it, then I plead guilty.
  17. h2oface
    Me too.

    I had to go back and watch the play where Jeffers enticed the cut-off rounding 1st so Buxton would have better chance of scoring. Was Jeffers afraid to get hurt? Pull a leg muscle? I get that he had a mission, but it was completed and then he just gave up. Didn't make an effort at all to get in a good run down, Conceded the third out by standing there. And this game Toronto (other than Varsho robbing homers in center) is throwing the ball away on multiple occassions. Sure, it wasn't likely for him to find a way safely to a base now, but a professional MLB player should at least try. I mean, these guys are in their 20s. And even minimum salaries (which is way lower than Jeffers is paid now) are comfortable compensation for giving it 100%.
  19. h2oface
    Yes. The rest of his season speaks way less than this one outing, eh?
  20. h2oface
    You think the Twins actually give a ****? And would actually trade for a player that can help the team NOW?
  21. h2oface
    It’s past the middle of August. Time for the culture to take hold. Just give up. Buxton now infected, as is Ryan. This is a horrible baseball team. As shown by losing to Colorado, White Sox, Washington, and Oakland, they are the worst team in MLB. No question.
  22. h2oface
    As much as Trout struggled, looks to me like Roden was WAY worse. Not even a good comparable.
  23. h2oface
    When there’s nothing left but to hype, no matter what.

    I had an MRI yesterday. The operator was perfect. She had a magnetic personality.

    Followed by bonehead base running. Bi-polar. I think he is so slow because his ears create all that drag.
