  1. Watched it again, my bad. He pulled up while Watkins was waving him home. Kep's head must still be in Paris....
  2. LF had the ball before Kepler got to 3rd and the ball was to the cut off man in front of him, no way he scores there...
  3. The pitch that just hit Wallner would have been a swinging strike by the other DH...
  4. Pitch 2-3" inside called a strike - "rook hasn't earned that call yet..."
  5. And one more since you ask - .243/.354/.439 (.794 OPS) Since June 10 also, player who never played at the MLB level for the Twins but who many on TD thinks should be here (he would be stuck in St. Paul, passed over several times).
  6. Per Baseball-Reference, a couple of slash lines since June 10th: Player A - .354/.422/.582 (1.005 OPS) Player B - .336/.387/.412 (.800 OPS) One of them is finding a hard time cracking a very anemic offense while the other one is a point of dissension amongst TD fans.
  7. Last nights announcers on FS1 said hip and back injuries, no mention of knee problems.
  8. TD is not the only fan site asking this question: https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/twins/calls-for-twins-action-on-byron-buxton-after-another-disastrous-night-at-the-plate https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minnesota-twins-byron-buxton-slump/ https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-byron-buxton-getting-day-off-tuesday/ https://www.startribune.com/byron-buxton-is-in-a-1-for-31-slump-is-it-time-for-do-something-yet/600290419/ https://www.axios.com/local/twin-cities/2023/07/18/byron-buxton-struggling-minnesota-twins https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/the-hot-and-cold-of-byron-buxton-and-how-it-impacts-the-twins/ar-AA1dVSE5
  9. I did not say this lost the game. Jeffers was down 0-2 in the count and should have tried to foul it off. I just said that it was not called a strike all game.
  10. Buxton's last 30 games : 14-102 w/42 K's. Slash line of .137/.202/.314. Buxton's last 7 games : 1-29 w/15 K's. Slash line of .034/.065/.034, including 0 for his last 22.
  11. Baseball Savant showed it was off the plate, outside. First outside pitch called a strike all night, and with Jeffers being the catcher all night, he knew this. Bad call.
  12. Two out rally ended with a roll-over to 2B. Professional PA's by the team's veteran leadership.
  13. He'd be stuck at AAA. Also take at look at Julien's numbers, they're a little better, albeit in a smaller sample.
  14. Gallo slash line with runner on 3B less than 2 outs - .248/.409/.504 (.913 OPS) and 75 RBI in 154 PA's (117 AB's)
  15. Imagine that, a lead-off double wasted, not even moved over to third.
  16. Kirilloff possibly robbed of extra bases by a non-reviewable play...and the ump.
  17. According to the FS1 broadcast, Buxton is dealing with hip and lower back injuries, no mention of knee issues.
  18. Their talent is known and the manager knows what he's going to get everyday...
  19. According to RpR he hasn't earned the right to play because he is an unknown rookie and the manager already knows what he will do any given game.
  20. Neither does sitting on the bench or toiling in the minors night after night. Every rookie unknown that became a good ball player was given the chance do show it.
  21. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing time after time (running Kepler and Gallo out there every night) and expecting different results. Hopes and wishes don't win MLB games.
  22. So you are saying Wallner is being given an opportunity right now? His talent is as good as Gallo, Kepler or Buxton right now. Larnach's talent is at least as good as 3 of the 4 right now. So I call BS on this comment.
