    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.
  2. William K Johnson
    I see Julian's defense did not get much better at St. Paul
  3. William K Johnson
    It was a sarcastic remark.
  4. 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.
  5. William K Johnson
    I think the highlight of Buxton's career would be winning a world series ring.
  6. 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.

    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.
  8. 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.
  9. William K Johnson
    Don't worry, Cole Sands is warming.
  10. William K Johnson
    With the upcoming end of the Acala, Topa and SWR chapters of Twins history approaching, it makes me wonder if the general managers who fleeced the Twins FO on these trades feel any remorse or guilt for taking advantage of the Twins incompetence. Most likely not, but surely, they feel some pity.
  11. William K Johnson
    He should see a lot of late inning defensive action as both Larnac and Wallmer leave a lot to be desired defensively.
  12. William K Johnson
    Anyone know how you get that Heilman guy out? A backup catcher batting over .400
  13. William K Johnson
    I still think that Trevor Larnac needs to learn how to play first base.
  14. William K Johnson
    Kinda of confused on why Larnac was not the first sub in right field, then when he got on base Kiersey could have ran and stayed in defensively. It seemed like we switched them in the wrong order.
  15. William K Johnson
    The non-call on strike three to Yelich seemed to unnerve Matthews. He will have to get used to that, as major league umpires are terrible at ball and strike calls.
  16. William K Johnson
    The problem here isn't third, it's second base. I was hoping that once Lewis returned, he could play third and move Lee to second. If you DH Lewis, what do you do with Larnach when Wallner returns? Maybe Castro when he gets back. But please, no more Julien. And I agree with an earlier post that Lewis has never been hurt fielding the ball, all of his injuries have come running bases.
  17. William K Johnson
    Contributions from a second baseman, who would have thunk it!! Seattle gets solid contribution from their second baseman every game. Just saying. In fact, he led off the ninth with a double and scored what proved to be the winning run in the top of the ninth.
  18. William K Johnson
    Give me Jeffers any day over Vasquez
  19. William K Johnson
    But how would you justify the $10 mil contract then?
  20. William K Johnson
    At what point does Julien enter the conversation?
  21. William K Johnson
    11 runs with Bader, Julien, Gasper and Bride in the lineup. Who would have thought it?
  22. William K Johnson
    How many times did they swing at ball four?
  23. William K Johnson
    Hate to play devil's advocate, but the White Sox are terrible, has Cole Sands ever left an inherited runner on base, Keaschall's error at second looked awful and Bader is showing some regression. Outside of that, good win.
  24. William K Johnson
    A couple of observations; - Really miss Santana's glove at first. Infielders need to be aware that throwing the ball into the dirt to first is now risky. - Why didn't Keaschall play second? - We all have been around this game long enough to know that when a reliever goes south, they go south. Apparently, Rocco does not know that. - Is Brock Stewart ready yet?
  25. William K Johnson
    Lee can play third, moving Castro to second. However, that is the least of our problems. Starting pitching has been great, bullpen up and down, but the offense is as bad as I can recall. Castro and France are the only two hitters doing anything. Buxton, Correa, Larnac and Wallner appear overmatched at the plate right now. I cringe when I see a lineup with both Gasper and Valazquez in it. Two outs for sure each time through the lineup. There is an old saying in baseball, you don't win pennants in April but you can sure lose them. By the time this team gets righted, the train might have left the station.
