All this discussion for two games?😀

How bad does Buxton have to be before he's, if not out of the lineup, at least not hitting 3rd?
I thought this management team was supposed to be analytical.

We're heading to Ft Myers tomorrow. We haven't been there before except for spring training. Planning to see a couple Mighty Mussel games.

I put that loss 100% on Baldelli for choosing to pitch to Perez in the 8th. I was screaming at the TV to walk him. How can you let the same guy beat you over and over? 1st base was open.

Never pitch to Salvador Perez. Walk him every time. He's a Twins killer.

Correa will sign with a team in a state with no income tax. The Twins are out of the running.

Put your best players in the lineup every day until they tell you they need a break. Buxton can be an exception here since he's made of glass. Let's see some bunting, stealing, hit & run plays. If your starting pitcher is kicking-ass, leave him in until he tires. Forget the spreadsheets. If he's going longer than you're comfortable with, have someone warmed and ready to go so you CAN make a move quickly AFTER he demonstrates he's gassed. Stop trotting failures like Emilio Pagan onto the field in high leverage situations when they've proven time and time again they will burn you. Let's see more of the passion you displayed a couple of times this year when arguing with the umpires. For God's sake, don't ever put Royce Lewis in center field again.

"The recovery is 4-8 weeks, so he should be 100% by Thanksgiving, giving him the winter to prepare for spring training. "
Just in time to go on the DL with with his next injury.

Its April. "Oh we're not playing Buxton this month in case he gets hurt. We'll wait until August to play him." All fans would think what genius's the managment of the Twins is. NOT.

Let's be honest.  Buxton makes mauer look like lou Gehrig st this moment.  It is disappointing to watch a player who has talent so fragile.  Let's also not forget his average was beyond abysmal and he defines the three outcome player.  Find another subject, I believe with his talent we can label him a bust.

After Polanco hit his home run and we were down 5-4, my wife said “at least we’re playing ‘em close.”  And then suddenly we weren’t.
I put a lot of this on Rocco: leaving Minaya in for the three straight walks and bringing in Duffey without a 7+ run lead…
 

It's becoming apparent that the way to handle Duffey is to remove him immediately when he gets a guy on base because then he just falls apart.

OK, so we are now onto the great RBI vs RBI's debate, and fella's, there is only one right answer here?:  R'sBI.
Runs is plural, always has been, always will be. We are not talking intestinal distress here, but moving multiple runners across home plate over time. 
An argument may be made to move the possessive to the end, after In, but, for consistency, I prefer it remain where it rightfully belongs, proximate to the noun it so modifies, hence, R's it is. I have dutifully notified MLB of the same and expect full compliance forthrightly, in about the same time frame as the sticky stuff disappears from pitching gloves.

Goodbye baseball. Canceled our season tickets today.
