Against a righty? Solano hasn't done anything for a few weeks.
-
Also I'm not sure why we are taking these fastballs over the heart of the plate. Swing the f'ing bat and be aggressive on hittable pitches.
-
Can someone remind me why Solano PH there?
-
It looked like the trainer had some in his hand.

What the hell is going on right now
-
Nvm I mean I'd go Jax Duran for 8/9
-
CC making that play look so effortless
-
These 345 hitters haven't seen Duran yet.. would have loved to see him come into the 8th
-
See PDX Twin. I was right
-
Too bad we can't pinch hit Gallo for Lewis here
-
I'd go Duran/Jax for 8/9
-
That would have been a hilarious way to pick up their first playoff win to break the streak
-
Lol, no one saw that coming. Lets go boys!
-
Put him on and bring Thielbar in
-
Edit: lol. That’s pretty close to cheering for the Twins to lose this game so “the team figures out how to win close games in a division race.” Which is of course irrelevant fodder that distracts from the Twins securing the division.
-
lol, good for Cleveland? Make us earn it? You sound like a high school baseball coach. “If we aren’t going to run every ground ball as hard as you can then we don’t deserve to win the state championship!” Lol. As a twins fan every loss from a second place team is good in my book.

Ana game over.. cle wins.
-
6-6 in Cleveland..
-
He bought his wife flowers without any prompting or holiday. Other than that, no.
-
And Seager has 16 xbh in his last 26 games
-
Fun fact: Carlos Correa has 16 xbh in the past 62 games.

The hardest part is there is no precedent for guys like Buxton coming back and being close to his ceiling. Corey Seager is the only player I can think of that had as high of an initial ceiling as Buxton, got hurt, and came back to be the player people thought he could be. The problem is, Seager wasn't consistently hurt like Buxton, so Buxton is in uncharted waters. Could he comeback and be good? Yeah sure. Will he? 85% no. If he comes back and plays 120 games in CF and has a 135 WRC+ for 3-4 years, I'll eat a shoe on Facebook live. He's done and will never live up to his hype.

I agree with everyone that it has to be incredibly tough on Buxton personally. It would be very difficult to look yourself in the mirror and know that your identity as a baseball player might be done with. Good thing is, there is life after baseball. I'm not a doctor but seeing this "injury" after resting for how long (2 months?) is the nail in the coffin. The idea Buxton will ever be a superstar player for 100+ games a year is unfortunately completely gone. Half his value came from his impeccable defense, but his body can't even hold up for a whole year while strictly being a DH. As much as I feel bad for him, I am still a fan of the Twins and it is tough to see so much money tied up in a "superstar" player who will never materialize. His contract will impact the team for the foreseeable future, and IMO will hamper the team from getting over the proverbial hump. The Twins are a perennial borderline playoff team who needs Buxton's money to spend on value, but that won't happen while he is under contract. Sad day.

Duran can't throw offspeed for a strike.

Fun fact: Correa has 19 multi hit games this year. Corey Seager has 19 since June 27th
