    My cartoon bubble show RB with shades pulled, doors locked, not answering the door and peaking out the window between innings looking for the van with the weird antenna on the top.

    Buxton has a full no trade clause.

    I love Royce - I think he is the real deal. Would I extend him? No chance. Go year to year with him extend the qualifying offer and watch him walk away. We will grieve, take the comp pick and be thankful for the years we had and for the contract we don’t have until age 35. This is doubly true if “rightsizing” is our new payroll normal.

    Regarding Festa there is a lot to like but also some red flags. He has three good pitches when they are located properly. He seems comfortable throwing any of the three at anytime which makes it tough on hitters. The red flags are that his command really went away as the game moved on and we saw what mlb hitters will do with pitches not located. He has good velo on the fastball but it is straight as a string meaning it has to be well located or it’s gonna get pounded in the bigs. I know he has improved his command significantly in the last year but I’m not sure he is there yet. Maybe it was first start jitters so we will see.

    Should have been Carroll.
  6. Linus
    So Buck is hot goes 3-3 with a monster home run and gets hit on the first pitch after the homer and we are sure it’s unintentional?
  7. Linus
    Doesn’t look good. Went immediately to the dugout. Looks like a possible broken wrist.
  8. Linus
    Now Carroll and Perdomo need to get drilled.
  9. Linus
    Yep. Corbin Carroll should get one in the ribs.
  10. Linus
    C4 with the bazooka
  11. Linus
    Yea. With Bucks day today that may have been a purpose pitch. I would drill one of their guys next inning.
  12. Linus
    Festa lost a little command that inning. More hittable pitches in the zone. Of course he should have been sitting in the dugout.
  13. Linus
    Yea Margot can wear this inning. I’ve seen him make several poor plays in RF for a guy that is supposed to be a good fielder.
  14. Linus
    Few things more enjoyable than watching Buck run.
  15. Linus
    As long as the strike zone stays the same for Festa I’m good with it.
  16. Linus
    Not sure. Plenty of great pitchers have thrown that way. Tends to hide the ball from the hitter.
  17. Linus
    Festa is a bit of a short armer. First time I’ve seen him pitch. I can see why he has had success as he has three legit pitches.
  18. Linus
    I’m excited about Morris and Mathews because they have good stuff but they don’t walk anybody.
  19. Linus
    This was a good outing by SWR in that he was struggling with command but managed to make enough pitches to get some outs. Many times pitchers in the same situation get blown up.
  20. Linus
    Excellent article! A bunch of good info. Hopefully he can have good command in the bigs. I believe that will be the key.
  21. Linus
    I’m doing this from memory so…..but if I recall the Twins have gained zero ground on Cleveland during the Twins hot streak and have now dropped back even further. Nothing is impossible but as the games click by without the Twins gaining ground makes the math really hard for winning the Central.
  22. Linus
    On a more serious note. Wouldn’t the Twins want him to play more than two games at 2b before calling him up to play that position in the bigs?
  23. Linus
    I resemble that.
  24. Linus
    In fairness to you Royce really retooled his swing. I wasn’t a fan of the big leg kick etc during his early years in the minors.
  25. Linus
    I’m skeptical of defensive metrics in general and really skeptical for middle infielders. There is so much going on that will never be included in a metric. How you turn the double play how you feed the double play handling cutoffs and tags. These are all areas where Correa excels and Julien doesn’t.
