I don't know how you overturn that -
I think Kep is out
-
LOL that's some fine baseballin' right there
-
Jamie Moyer pitching this week?
-
that was my thought
-
Line drive single by Escobar!.. Does that merit giant capital letters?!?!?
-
lol, fan velocities don't count Also, projectile vomit
-
Only the 4th inning, but the top 5 exit velocities tonight would all have to belong to the Tigers, I would think.
-
I will say that this guy does have some reverse screwball spin on his fastball. Still, you are correct.
-
swing at low and away strike three, run to first if the ball goes in the dirt. Not a bad approach, unless the ball doesn't go in the dirt.

Sorry I didn't answer, I was too busy watching another Twins batter hit another feeble pop up
-
same pitch, same location who woulda thunk that could happen
-
Welp, at least Niko Goodrum struck out last inning
-
They are coming down hard, but not as hard as Buxton comes down after crashing into the fence http://mlb.mlb.com/images/7/0/8/230182708/051417_mlb_gif_buxton_catch_med_e4rgqdz2.gif

And awayyyyy it went 1-0 bad guys after a long home run
-
Hopefully Gardy says "gotta tip your cap" a lot this week
-
Can Ausmus still catch?

You are so right. It is about production. Whatever their positions on the team, they still need to produce on the field. Non-producers don't have a big voice in the clubhouse. The front office was probably expecting either Buxton or Sano to take the next step and produce this year. I was sure hoping they would. Hope is not a strategy. I think the doom and gloom over Buxton is misplaced, but to each their own. I think he will be great. Just wish it would happen on my timeline, and not Buxton's own timeline. Also, my timeline is the 2018-2033 seasons.

Leadership in this clubhouse could be a very compelling topic of discussion. How fair is it to appoint Buxton as a leader, since he's still pretty young hasn't produced over a full season yet? How fortunate are the Twins to have guys like Rosario, Kepler and Escobar to stand in while Buxton and Sano struggle or rehab? Is it even necessary for Sano to be a standout for this team to compete for a title? (I doubt it--the Twins would do fine without him.) Was it really wise for the Twins to sign Lynn? Did Lynn really have no other offers? What do we draw from that, and what does bringing a guy like that into the clubhouse do for the chemistry of the team and the current clubhouse leaders?

What do you mean by "hot bat" theory? What's wrong with playing guys who are hitting well and sitting guys who need a break?

What's wrong with just recognizing he's a slow starter?
-
Don't worry about predicting Buxton would be in the MVP conversation. He'll figure it out. The foul ball off his toe set him back; he should have traveled with the team during his migraines or met up with the team in New York instead of going on that rehab, and I said as much at the time. It would be nice if Buxton was superhuman, unfortunately he's just human.

The older guys leaving -- on the whole, that sounds promising
-
I'm not going to make a prediction, but why do you think this team will look the same today as it will 30, 60, and 90 days from now?
