Local Contrarian Baffled by Slumping Buxton
RLTW894 replied to RandBalls Stu's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Obviously, I have no way of knowing, but I’m thinking Buxton’s knee is still bothering him. He should be rested and allowed to fully heal. Gordon and Celestino may not be Buxton at this best, but they are holding CF down when Buxton doesn’t play. Royce Lewis is being moved around in the minors to gain experience at other positions. I say even let him play CF to allow Buxton to fully heal. The Twins have options and that is good.. Take advantage of it. -
I’m a new Twins fan as of second half of last season. I got season tickets this year. I did the monthly plan over 10 months and there is no interest or fees. The extra perks have been a lot of fun for my daughter, who is the real hardcore Twins fan. Not going to say it’s cheap, but it’s doable. Twins also offer monthly standing room only plans for around $50 a month. The way the seats are empty so far, it’s super easy to find good open seats down below. Beer is not cheap, lol, but it’s a way to get to the games for half the price of cable per month, and you can choose what months you want it. You can also pool with others for season tickets and still get some of the perks. I also get free MLBTV with my season tickets. While it’s no good for Twins games with the blackouts, I’m also a Brewers fan and paid for MLBTV last year. With all these perks, and knowing I was going to take my daughter to the games anyway, it made a lot of sense. She loves all the extra perks.

I’ve never lived in the Twin Cities area. I live about an hour and a half away. But I have worked in the Cities for years with my former part-time job. Like you, I was aware of the riots after Floyd. But I never once felt like the Cities were any more dangerous after all that settled down. I either park and ride on the Metro to Twins games, or park in the Orpheum Theater lot. The Metro was getting really bad with the homeless selling drugs and even smoking in the cars. I think that has been addressed. It was much better a couple weeks ago. I’ll find out at tonight’s game. When we park at the lot, there are homeless around, but I never feel unsafe.

I agree with the crime. I do park and ride on the Metro. Earlier this season, the homeless were getting terrible on the Metro. I don’t care if they ride to escape the cold, but they were selling drugs and smoking in the cars. That was unacceptable. They would always hop off right before Target Field. I think it’s been addressed as last time, I noticed much less homeless and none of the illegal activities.
