    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).
  2. mnfireman
    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.

    Last nights announcers on FS1 said hip and back injuries, no mention of knee problems.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
  8. mnfireman
    I thought the same thing.
  9. mnfireman
    Two out rally ended with a roll-over to 2B. Professional PA's by the team's veteran leadership.
  10. mnfireman
    Don't say start Wallner....
  11. mnfireman
    He'd be stuck at AAA. Also take at look at Julien's numbers, they're a little better, albeit in a smaller sample.
  12. mnfireman
    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)
  13. mnfireman
    Imagine that, a lead-off double wasted, not even moved over to third.
  14. mnfireman
    Kirilloff possibly robbed of extra bases by a non-reviewable play...and the ump.
  15. mnfireman
    According to the FS1 broadcast, Buxton is dealing with hip and lower back injuries, no mention of knee issues.
  16. mnfireman
    Their talent is known and the manager knows what he's going to get everyday...
  17. mnfireman
    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.
  18. mnfireman
    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.
  19. mnfireman
    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.
  20. mnfireman
    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.
  21. mnfireman
    If the front office doesn't promote you or if manager doesn't play you once they do, there is no opportunity.
  22. mnfireman
    To those of us that are cord cutters, the game is on FS1 if you can get it.
  23. mnfireman
    Starts with an "O"................. Opportunity
  24. mnfireman
    Buxton has full no trade protection. If Gallo and/or Kepler can be traded for ANYTHING of value, Wallner and Julien have playing spots. Julien, Farmer and Polanco rotate through 2B/3B. Wallner and Julien can rotate through LF/RF depending on who's traded and all 4 can DH occasionally even if Buxton is not IL'd.
  25. mnfireman
    I think the team can get at least the same production from Larnach and Wallner they are getting from Kepler and Gallo, though the defense may suffer a little. The time is now to see if they can make the adjustments to stay with the big club, not after Gallo (this year) and Kepler (next season) are gone, that just delays finding replacements if they can't adjust. Time for the FO to admit their mistake and move on.
