  1. Welcome to Chief’s man cave! I mean, welcome to the Game Thread and TwinsDaily!
  2. I mostly agree with you. However, on the headfirst slides, I don’t recall seeing anyone nimble enough who is able to do a headfirst pop-up slide and transfer contact with the bag from hand to foot like Buxton. I’m sure there are a few others out there but Buxton is really good at it. Ultimately this is on Buxton, and let’s hope he comes to camp next season committed to playing 150 games like other star players do.
  3. In Baltimore, don’t forget Tyler Wells.
  4. Cycle for Arraez on the night Lopez was on fire The single came last https://www.mlb.com/news/luis-arraez-hits-for-marlins-first-cycle
  5. Awesome news - this is like water to a wilting plant.
  6. Without looking, guess how many games Ohtani played in last season. Hint: nope, more. 🙂
  7. The leaderboard in games played last season is full of guys like Freddie Freeman, Guerrero Jr, Dansby Swanson, Aaron Judge, etc. Probably typical of every year. Not so much the Michael Taylors of the world. Nothing against MAT.
  8. Buxton may not be 100%, but I don’t buy the injury explanation. Simply because it would be irresponsible to pigeonhole Buxton’s recovery into a timeframe the front office has had set since at least February. Essentially they are saying, “We know when Buxton will be 100% and that date will b
  9. I would think that an actual ramp-up would involve playing Buxton a little in the field to start, for example, an inning or two at a time in mid-April? Then followed by a few more innings a bit more frequently in late April, then graduate to full games in May? So I have to wonder. Yesterday would have been a perfect opportunity to get him in the field for an inning or two.
  10. True, but I'm not worried about splits right there. Like I said in the game thread, maybe Wallner can work a walk. Then you've got options, asking Castro to bunt or pinch running Buxton, but my thinking is it's better to try a straight substitution Buxton for Taylor later in the inning or leading off the 9th. Plus the whole "losing the DH" thing and allowing the pitcher spot into the lineup (sixth, no less).
  11. Huh, even with 2 outs the squeeze is actually not a bad idea there, considering how bad the Sox were kicking and throwing the ball all over the place.
  12. I would have rather seen Wallner bat in the 8th and Buxton pinch hit for Taylor instead, and then go play center field for one inning, or 2-3 innings max if the game is tied. Best case scenario: Buxton hits for Taylor and clobbers a two-run homer to take the lead, then stands in center field for a half inning not exerting himself while Duran racks up strikeouts and the save. And someone hit for Castro was another option.
  13. Feels like a game they should have stolen. This team really misses Derek Shelto—never mind…..
  14. I might have let Wallner try to work a walk and save the substitution…oh well…
  15. Buxton will be available to come into the game for Taylor, right? And maybe even, gasp, play center? Right?
  16. Better to ask for forgiveness at the end of the season, than ask for permission in the middle.
  17. This game has “Victory from jaws of Defeat” written all over it
  18. I was also sitting with my hands clasped behind my head, thinking “in what new way are the Vikings going to let Russell Wilson drive down to the Vikings 40 in the last 20 seconds to make the game winning field goal after Walsh makes this kick”
  19. I don’t think Cease goes beyond 7 today. Good job by the pirhanas working counts and scrapping out a couple runs to keep it close, (also, beware, pirhana might autocorrect for you to ‘Pagan’ lol)
  20. If we could play the “take away your pitcher’s worst inning” game, we would be leading 1-0. 🙂 (and probably have a starter ERA of 0.00 on the season)
  21. Hey, don’t diss the backfields. Those Sonny Gray Byron Buxton matchups had mid-season intensity.
  22. Chance for Gordon to be a hero!!
  23. If Falvey said Trevor Larnach is the leader in the clubhouse, would people not care that he said that? 🙂
  24. 33 pitches through 2 innings for Cease. Maybe he will only go six today.
