    Julien or Wallner will be called up before Lee, they are both on the 40 man roster, its the "Twins way".

    I forget that sarcasm doesn't translate well on a forum!! Someone stated on a different post that Buxton never walks and and another suggested that all he does is chase/swing at sliders out of the zone with no chance of hitting them. It was also stated that his speed and defense aren't what they once were... oh sorry, sarcasm doesn't work on a forum. He has showed great defense and his speed on the base paths has directly led to some big runs/big innings and given the Twins offense a spark.

    Lewis is proving to be at least as injury prone as Buxton, time for a new hero...

    The team will drag it out until Thursday or Friday before making a decision, then they will call up Wallner or Julien because they are on the 40 man roster.

    If only Buxton learned how to take a BB and not K, he might be able to score some runs and help the team win some games...

    Kind of like Buxton early in his career....
  7. mnfireman
    Kind of like Lewis....

    I think he was only including seasons the team was contending for a play-off spot at the deadline. 2021 was a good deadline year because that year brought back Ryan, SWR and Martin who are contributing to our current play-off run.

    Agreed. Twins 3B have made 8 throwing errors; Lewis 4, Miranda 3 and Castro 1. Julien at 2B and Castro at SS are the only other IF to have throwing errors, with 1 each. Twins pitchers have made 4 throwing errors and Twins catchers have 5, but I did not look up how/where those occurred.

    Actually got to watch the game today...loved Ryan challenging the batters when behind with runners on base. Wish he would have won the argument with Baldelli to stay in the game....Thielbar, Okert and Sands almost cost the team the game. If the option is worse than current choice, gotta stay with the current choice. Team (Larnach) saved Rocco's ass today...

    Rough looking IF today, good thing Ryan is a K/FB pitcher...

    If Kepler has enough value for another team to add, he has enough value to stay here. If his bat picks up again, it is the same as adding at the deadline.

    Good thing Buxton had the day off yesterday, they didn't need what he brings....
  14. mnfireman
    I didn't realize how much of an effort Miranda made trying for the tag, on the MLB.com video it looked like he casually reached out in an attempt, the picture at the top of the article shows full effort for the tag. The runner should have absolutely been called out.
  15. mnfireman
    Martin was already in the game, substituted for Larnach in LF in the 8th. Buxton running for Miranda and Jeffers hitting for Vazquez absolutely should have happened though.
  16. mnfireman
    The Twins had only 6 hits, but had a team xBA of .314. I'm not a fan of metric stats, especially this one as it as shown some 30/30 HR/Park as having an xBA of .100 or less. However, they had 12 hard hit balls (95.7 MPH and higher) and only struck out 4 times, and there was quite bit of bad luck - at 'em balls. The poor defense, falling behind batters and some questionable swings/PA are concerning, as these are signs of a poorly prepared/coached team.

    Once again the BP snatches defeat from the grasp of victory....
  19. mnfireman
    Soooooo, no PR for Miranda and no PH for Vazquez despite Buxton and Jeffers available for both. You can't win the division/wild card in June, but can lose it...
  20. mnfireman
    Buxton for Miranda??
  21. mnfireman
    Again...
  22. mnfireman
    Way to answer C4....
  23. mnfireman
    8 & 9 batters doing damage...
  24. mnfireman
    But no Buxton. Gotta ride on the Buck Truck while he's hot (.355/.397/.645 slash line with 4 HRs & 14 RBI over his last 17 games).
  25. mnfireman
    They roughed him up for 8 runs on 9 hits in 4 innings on May 9th with no Buxton or Lewis. That game also marked the turnaround to the seasons of Santana and, to a lesser extent, Margot (though he did have 5 RBI that day).
