    Why is there not a discussion of moving him to first base? Mauer did it, as do a lot of catchers. His offensive numbers could increase if he does not have to take the beating behind home plate.

    As an Indiana University graduate, I was told for years that our football program would never succeed in the tough Big Ten conference, that we were a basketball school and a minor bowl game was our best hope each season. We hire this unknown coach from a small school (James Madison) who told us all that "google me, I win". He goes 11-2 his first year, makes the Division 1 playoffs, only losing to the two teams in the national championship game. This year they are 5-0 ranked fifth in the country. It can be done if you hire the right people.

    The first step in getting quality coaches would be the dismissal of Tommy Watkins.
  4. William K Johnson
    He wasn't the total problem, but he did not help the matter. Falvey needs to be the next one to go, followed hopefully by new ownership so that this franchise can regain its footing.

    Am I the only one who thinks that resigning Vasquez at a smaller contract would not be the worst thing we could do? Also, I have had enough of Larnac and Wallner.
  6. William K Johnson
    We finally have seen a true "Buxton" season after all these years. Is is asking too much to have a couple of more?
  7. William K Johnson
    Martin is a not a good baserunner and Larnac continues to pile up the strikeouts.
  8. William K Johnson
    Or the JJ Hardy trade
  9. William K Johnson
    NO NO NO

    Are we forgetting the line drive that Julien misplayed yesterday that led to six runs? I know they gave Ramirez a hit on it, but come on, if Carlos Santana is at first, the Indians do not score in that inning.

    Keep in mind that Baldelli had Derek Shelton, Wes Johnson and James Rowson on the bench with him in 2019. After they all left, Baldelli was lost. On Gardenhire, could not stomach his "man crush" on Little Nicky Punto.

    If you liked Joey Gallo, you are going to love Matt Wallner. it's the same player.
  13. William K Johnson
    Our closer is not very good.
  14. William K Johnson
    While other teams are battling for playoff spots, we are holding tryouts.
  15. William K Johnson
    Wins are good, but that bullpen is spooky.

    Random thoughts - - The ninth slot in the lineup goes 0-4 with four strikeouts. And I thought Vasquez was bad in the nine hole. - Funderburke O/U on losses now at seven and a half. - Agree with earlier poster, with a major league second baseman in the game last night, Ryan gets out of the first without a run. - Roden did not have a good game, but, and this may sound crazy, but his long foul ball had a loud crack off the bat. - Falvey's interview was an insult to all Twin fans. However, my hats off to Corey Povus for asking the same questions I would have asked. Falvey spun away from all of them but appreciate the attempt. - Anyone aware of a Buxton press conference today?

    And batting cleanup
  18. William K Johnson
    Whatever went down, the fact remains that the Correa contract was an albatross for a declining player. Reminds me of the Angels contract with Pujols.
  19. William K Johnson
    I see Julian's defense did not get much better at St. Paul
  20. William K Johnson
    It was a sarcastic remark.
  21. William K Johnson
    If it were not for Wallner's great defense in right field, it would be hard to justify him in the lineup.
  22. William K Johnson
    I think the highlight of Buxton's career would be winning a world series ring.
  23. William K Johnson
    Joe, go home rest, enjoy your family, grab a quick dip in the ocean. Who cares about this exhibition game anyway? We need you ready for the second half of the season. I wish Buxton was doing the same.
  24. William K Johnson
    I know I am going to take a lot of heat for this comment, but if we fall out of WC contention and a total rebuild seems the only way out, perhaps it is time to trade Buxton. This is coming from a guy who wants to trade his favorite player. I have two reasons for my suggestion: first, right now Buxton would bring a ton of young talent. Secondly, Buxton needs to be on a team where his talents can be exposed to the entire baseball world. It also gives him a chance to be in a playoff run with an organization that wants to win. Watching him excel every day on this team that is quite honestly going nowhere is a disservice to the player.
  25. William K Johnson
    Worse idea of the day. If it was my option, all Twin players would take the break and come back refreshed on Friday ready to make a serious charge in the second half.
