  1. Hopefully it will change in the future, and I am rooting for him... BUT.... Buck is a zero-tool player right now if we are being honest with ourselves.
  2. "The manager can make all the right decisions" Not. Even. Close. 'What does that mean for Baldelli and his coaches?' : Fired "What does that mean for the players?": The Bench or DFA
  3. "The reality is that this is a flawed team. If they want to truly be a contender for more than an AL Central title, today wasn't going to be the game changer." I agree, but then they should have traded Maeda, Kepler, Polanco, Gallo (if possible and if not DFA), and Gray (if the return was better than the comp pick linked to the QO) Doing nothing was the only true wrong answer and they managed to pull it off.... Congrats...or something....
  4. Dude.... watching the Central Sh- Show play out is going to be hilarious.... There is a bigger chance that the Central SH- Show causes baseball realignment or playoff rule changes next year than the Twins winning the WS. I'm. Not. Kidding.
  5. Buck back hitting 4th.... ummmm.... why?????
  6. The Central Division can now officially be called The Sh- Show.... With Chicago and Cleveland selling along with good 'ol KC and Detroit.... The Twins can sell and still accidentally win The Sh- Show... !
  7. Dude... Cleveland and Chicago are selling big. Kansas City and Detroit are well... Kansas City and Detroit. Our division is such a Sh- Show that we could sell AND accidentally win the division!
  8. "as it will do serious damage to their postseason hopes" Therein lies the problem.... hopes of making the postseason or hopes of accomplishing anything in the postseason? My heart says buy, but my head says sell (seller's market with 2 SP on expiring contracts and too many LF OF to count)
  9. Julian needs to be in the line up Every. Single. Day. He is young and he has been an offensive spark plug. If they want to give him a break at 2B... Fine... He goes to DH and Buck grabs some bench.
  10. You could very well be right... but I think there is minimal risk to call him up and see how his current 'stuff' plays at the MLB level. I do think our rotation will need more rest coming down the home stretch in some form or fashion (Ober and Ryan especially)
  11. Great to see a good game from Buck and a good trend from Kepler, BUT.... Moran simply cannot continue to be a member of this bullpen. I hope that this game represents a beginning of something for Buck, but I am skeptical because his other 2 good games this season did not...
  12. "As long as Byron Buxton remains a full-time designated hitter..." The root of all Twins offense problems....
  13. Yes.... but I'd give the start to the previous cy young winner doing well in AAA with an upcoming opt out instead of a still struggling Varland 🙂
  14. Correa, Polanco, Julian, Krill, Lewis at the top/mid of the order had a wonderous ring to it! Buck needs to bat 6th or lower until he has proven otherwise over at least a 2 week stretch. If he is still playing poorly by 1 September and we are playoff bound, he is going to have to step aside and let someone else DH.
  15. Julian CANNOT be sent down when Polanco returns! Buck goes to IL or the bench. He has had 2 good games in 2 months. (ie he has taken advantage of 2 pitchers in 2 months) It is not an accident that our run has coincided with Correa, Krill, Julian at the top of the order. Don't screw this up FO!
  16. Julian has been amazing with the bat... he and Krill cannot leave the top of the order! Hoping this is the beginning of a positive trend for Buck... unlike the last one-off multi-homer game. (cue the Debbie Downer music and close up) We'll see.... fingers (and toes) crossed!
  17. When Polanco is back, he is at 2nd, Julian is at DH and Buck is on the IL or the bench.... Anything else is organizational malpractice.
  18. A Buxton, Farmer, Castro, Kepler heart of the order..... oh be still my heart!
  19. The totality of his work would suggest that there are better options. I would rather have Julian as DH than Buck currently. It makes me sad to say it but it is true.
  20. ...well if they were to DFA Buxton... it would be Julian as the DH.... no Cave required 😉 But, of course they should not DFA Buxton!
