His fielding is far, far better than Arraez while his batting numbers for far less at bats are damn near as good. As Park wrote in an article his attitude in the dugout is just as important as his playing skills. It looks like he has lost a little weight too. I wonder why his batting numbers have dropped off so suddenly, perhaps being sent down while a disaster like Celestino or Rohrvedt is not, is one reason.

Bingo. I listen on radio, often, as I have no cable at one location. Not being able to watch on over the air broadcast is good way to lose long time fans. Cost is ridiculous , no more going to ball game for beer and hot dog for those who are stressed for dollars. Now rather than being a way to get away from nasties of life, it has become one of them.

I still have an attraction to baseball but unless they get rid of the asinine man on second and 7 inning double headers it will get less and less. Money ball and computer stats ball is another item ruining the game, it is a business but selling the players like cattle is pathetic.

Well that is part of the entire season.

Donaldson hit the game tying home run the Twins won against the Yankees.

From 2010 to 2018 the twins only had two respectable years; in 2019 it was quality veterans that were a big reason they did as well as they did. Odds are all the hype of bring up blah, blah, blah because he looks good in the minors will just be return of 2011 to 2018 , at best. I want to a winning or at least .500 team not year, after year, after year of losing while miracle dudes from the minors are mediocre most of the time.

If they can get sell him off, do it. His sub-average fielding skills have done more harm to the Twins than his supposed good bat. The way he jumps around at bats and then watches a third strike make all the hype wishful thinking.

I just joined this sight after reading it for most of the year; in some ways it reminds me of Reusse who I found be very annoying when his show was still on KSTP radio station. There is a LOT we'll just bring up x, y or q , or just wait till j, k or h shows up which is like around Two Thousand Ten when all the blabber in the papers and radio was when Buxton, Hicks or Sano gets here replacing whom ever the god wannbe sports writer dissed on the team, THEN the Twins will return to former glory. Well they came; Buxton is as good as the hype, but fragile, Hicks no better than what they had, Sano -- they sent him down to Single A ball to teach him a lesson, time to do it again but at that none were the miracle cure the writers blabbered about while dissing veterans. SO I have watched the Twins since the year they arrived, but if they dump Cruz for some other miracle cure, I will not stay up late to watch them fail even quicker than they do now. I have checked current stats on some of the players at Baseball Ref. site from the 2019 team discarded and they should have kept Schoop and Gonzalez who were/are far better than Arraez who wants to throw the ball out into right field rather than the First Base Man. Cron at first base would be far better than Sano, who is a guaranteed out except when he hits a home run. Only Rosario is not up to snuff this year. There, I got that off of my chest as after years of -- Well when (insert name here) miracle man/men come up from the minors then the Twins will suddenly be SOOOO much better, -- and I could not take it any more (Too many years of Reusse are partly to blame). In many ways the front office reminds me of the Viqueens front office and head coach, GEE we have a winning team, lets dump what has made us a winner and bring in some one who will change that. As an aside, since Tom Kelly left, the Twins cannot beat the Yankees, to me, that is because none of the managers have the guts to tell the players to pull their heads out of their rectal orifice, but then Billy Martin lost three in a row to Baltimore so maybe the manager is not the only sore point. WE'RE GONNA WIN TWINS, WE'RE GONNA SCORE....
