    This. Hurts... Badly, it hurts. I am not ready to punt on Buxton-Sano. They need at least two more years. There is no other future at third base and Buxton's defense is enough alone to play him every day.

    His track record is that he puts the ball in play. He may not hit the high water marks from 2018. However, he has earned a chance at regular ABs in 2019 to prove he can keep up the production long term.
  3. theBOMisthebomb
    The positive spin is a refreshing change. I agree they need to keep building through the end of the season.

    Win = more noise. Minnesota fans are notorious bandwagon jumpers.

    It will be interesting to see if he makes the Hall of Fame. I think he deserves it, although is hurt not getting that Gold Glove in 2017 and by the 0-10 playoff showing. Fortunately, it seems the national media is kinder to Joe than some of the local negativity. Here is my case for Joe as a Hall of Famer. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joe-mauer-and-the-rule-of-2000/ https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_C.shtml https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.twinkietown.com/platform/amp/2018/2/22/17031568/joe-mauer-has-earned-every-penny-contract-2018-minnesota-twins-mlb-offseason-owners-collusion

    The little stud might is building quite a case to get a serious look next spring and to receive a legitimate chance to make the club.

    This game stunk. This Twins stink. This season sucks.I consider myself an optimist so the positive I can find is to wish congratulations to DADdison Reed.
  8. theBOMisthebomb
    Yeah, it's an old school statistic. However, Sano is now below the Mendoza Line after last night's 0 for 4 with a .199 batting average.

    Sign Nuke LaLoosh.

    Why not just take the gas pipe and let the guy complete the perfect game? I was there and by the late innings was pulling for the perfect game to happen. Why the heck not? Major letdown. What were you thinking Grossman? At least let us see a no hitter if the chance at perfection is gone.

    Hey, let's celebrate. A victory is a victory!!

    It's still too soon to abandon ship on the Buxton/Sano being cornerstones plan. There is time for this thing to pan out.

    Maybe the honeymoon with Falvine is over? I wonder the reaction if Terry Ryan made the same moves? While I am willing to wait a bit longer before criticizing Falvine, I have to wonder at what point they are no longer immune to criticism? Hopefully in 2021-2022 and beyond we have some deep playoff runs or even a World Series trophy and we can happily on 2018. Falvine still has to prove they have what it takes.

    If we could get rid of Bremer, I would be a happy man. Part-time color guys in order of likeability are Hawkins, Morneau, and Hunter and I think Hawkins is terrible. They all sound unprofessional a majority of the time. It makes you appreciate a true professional broadcaster and how much talent and time it takes to sound polished in the booth. I will admit that Hawkins, Morneau, and Hunter all have potential and each have likeable aspects to them.

    Why Jimenez pitching, just why? With the September call ups there were plenty of other arms available. That was a pig show throwing Jimenez out there.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    Shining the spotlight on Berrios and his recent back slide got me thinking about other highlights of our Twins 2018 season. Eddie Rosario has cooled off as of late. Gibson, Forsythe, Cave, and Austin are (somewhat) bright lights that have not exactly set the world on fire. When does spring training 2019 begin?
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    Belisle. Why, just why?
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    He needs playing time and ABs at the big league level. Now.Buxton has thrived when he's healthy and comfortable and confident.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Obviously, this club is just playing out the string and cashing a paycheck. Hopefully the September call ups will breath some life into the rest of the season.

    This town needs a title from a team not named the Lynx. Go Saints!
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Kudos for the positive outlook and putting the 2018 disaster into perspective.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    NoMo LoMo!
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    The highlights were encouraging. It's nice to get some positive vibes again regarding our Twins. Buxton is still the future and I agree we should shut him down at the MLB level and put him on the shelf and let the sunshine of spring training 2019 heal the wounds.

    It was great to have Morris play with the Saints. I had forgotten the Yankees offered him a chance and he declined. It was probably for the best that Jack hung up the cleats at that time, although the Yankees won the 1996 World Series. I wonder if Jack has any regrets at not giving it a shot with the Yanks and adding another ring to his collection?

    2018 is an F as of now. If they right the ship and play .500 the rest of the way they could maybe pull that grade up to a D. They failed this season on nearly all levels and deserve an F grade. Maybe dumping Escobar, Dozier, et al. at was the right move long term - time will tell. In the meantime it helps them earn an F for 2018.
