    The Buxton at bat was a feel good moment, for sure. Abreu threw Buxton three fastballs. When the Houston pitching coach went out there, it was to talk about Buxton. Buxton obviously had not been part of Houston’s game planning at all to that point in the series. It sure seems like the advice to Abreu and Maldonado was to just throw heat and stay around the edges. Not to get fancy and risk hanging an off speed pitch Buxton might be able to get around on.

    it’s not really outrage, though. I’m not sure what the right word is. it’s almost like they were going for the Disney movie ending or something. Hat/Tip to Kris Atteberry after the game for the Disney reference. I’m coming up with a bunch of football metaphors. I already mentioned pinch hitting Buxton there as a Hail Mary pass when a Hail Mary was not needed. They just needed to keep the drive going. Here’s another one: the Buxton at bat last night was kind of like the Joe Webb playoff appearance against the Packers. Fans were cautiously optimistic, and everything looked good on that first drive, Webb marching them down the field on running plays, until it got to third down and Webb actually had to throw a pass. (Spoiler: the pass was terrible). In other words. Everything about the Buxton at bat last night felt really good, until Buxton actually had to swing the bat. Which he was in no shape to do against that level of competition in that moment.

    Sure, but Rocco should really be focusing on baseball moves at that point. Sending Buxton up to bat was the equivalent of a Hail Mary pass, when all that was needed was just one run, or even just a baserunner. Buxton would have been better used as a pinch runner at some point, in that sense. Leaving Taylor to bat would have been a much better option. Only Kepler hit more home runs than Taylor this season. Or if this was all about removing Taylor, then use Wallner as the pinch hitter. I really hope there is room for disagreement about this!

    It’s gotta hurt if you are Taylor there, a veteran center fielder who played his guts out for you all season, and at least had half a chance to run into one and go yard. It felt like Buxton was a 100-1 shot to do anything there, like you said.

    And a shoutout to the home crowd!

    A pretty good game, despite the result. Pulling Joe Ryan was probably the right move. But as someone said, if that’s the amount of confidence you have in your #3 guy, you are in a tough spot. Jax got outs and didn’t seem overwhelmed by the moment. Thielbar not so much. I’m not sure what the Buxton thing was all about. The crowd was already amped up enough, didn’t need an out there. Maybe someone who was at the game will chime in. The bottom half of the order unfortunately did not show up at all. But overall, a very good game. The better team won. The Twins have a long way to go to get to Houston’s level.
