    The FOX tv broadcast is displaying that game note PERFECT GAME THROUGH ____ Not sure if that’s a comment on the Twins, or a taunt to the fans, or what ..
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    good through 7

    Hey now, what's this "comedy" stuff suddenly going on...
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    not sure Duffey makes it to 2019

    Buxton catches balls like that not that it matters

    The post you are replying to seems more reasonable and accurate than your reply to it, unless I am reading your reply incorrectly. Of course the front office planned on Buxton being an integral part of the team this year. That doesn't mean they couldn't have started manipulating his service time about halfway through.

    "Hey Byron, you've had a bad year. You've been hurt. How can we help you be successful from this point forward?" "What do you need from us?" That's all they had to say.

    Hot one - imagine how bad it would have been if they had gone to the World Series!

    Didn't watch a single minute of this one, but seen enough the past few weeks to agree with you 99.9% -- saving that last .01 percent because I'm an optimist. .... Oh, who am I fooling 100%

    As far as non-start of career players, as the other poster is saying, you just don't see or hear about it with players like Byron Buxton. This is not Drury or Profar or whoever. Regardless of your opinion of Buxton he did lead the team into the postseason in 2017 with his bat and also win a gold glove. That's why the national media is writing about it.

    Dozier is not coming back, so it's irrelevant whether we want him back or not. A streak of 6-39 would not persuade me in any case. Yes, I still would have preferred the front office kept the 2017 core together for the remainder of 2018, rather than breaking the team up resulting in the product we are seeing now, and the unmeasurable costs the team is paying for that breakup.

    "Come meet Michael Pineda this Saturday, June 22, from 10 to 1 for photos and a signing. "Pineda is the Twins highest-paid player this season even though he has not appeared in any games or has yet to throw a pitch."

    I’m about a quarter or third of the way through the podcast so far. Good point about TwinsFest. Isn’t there also some all employee banquet before that that players are required to attend? By all accounts Buxton feels angry and humiliated right now and I can empathize with that. I have no problem with fans expressing their dislike of the front office at this point. I wouldn’t call them phony but to each their own. Many of us have been baseball fans longer than they have been alive! They have a lot to learn about people still.

    I agree with the above poster and I will one-up him. By the time 2020 rolls around, we may wish we had stuck with Dozier and Escobar and extended those two short extensions or qualifying offers, signed Mauer and kept Molitor, let him manage one more year with those players familiar to him, and just in general rolled with the core we had through the end of 2019 and then made significant changes after that.

    No game thread is complete without a cancer joke!
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Welcome to the game thread!
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah, true, but are you going to the fair?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    A terrible lineup, dumb errors, veterans getting ejected,... it's clear to me that this is the clubhouse speaking with one voice, consciously or not, on the Buxton decision. The FO has completely lost the clubhouse. So, where do we go from here? To the fair?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This is about more than just Buxton. It's about a front office that doesn't have the best interests of its players at heart. Word is out. Lukewarm free agent signings last winter; who will agree to play here next winter? Pulling the plug on the season at the trade deadline before the season was completely over, with Escobar finding out he was traded from teammates who saw the ESPN ticker. That's not leadership. Manipulating Buxton's service time in September, because they can. These too-clever-by-half types of things backfire more often than not. Players are not widgets. Organizations that do business this way do not win. That's my short-winded feeling on it.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Again, you leave out the fact that he was playing hurt, on a fractured toe.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Riverbrian, Buxton is not "taking September off." He is being sent home early so that his employer may preserve an extra year of service time.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    again, what reports? From earlier this summer?
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Setting aside the ethicality of it, you are misrepresenting details here. Buxton is neither struggling nor "banged up" right now.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The comparison between the situations of Jimenez and Buxton is very weak. Jimenez has not made his debut. Jimenez's situation is more akin to Berrios in 2015.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    is there a link to a news source citing an uninterested party, or did you just read this from another anonymous poster? Oy
