Another Twins baserunner sent to an untimely demise at home.

Great insight! Maybe you could also be a Twins radio broadcaster.

I'd never make it. I don't bleat the company line.

Neither do I. I can't stand Gardy.

Above .500. Sometimes that's all it takes to keep the season interesting. Go Twins!

The Twins are going to activate Royce Lewis and Max Kepler tomorrow. They will send down Kyle Garlick and Matt Wallner to make room. I rather see Gordon go than Wallner.

Can't send down/release someone from the injured list?

Gordon's injured? I missed that.

It's time to start prepping Buxton to play in the field again. As solid as he is defensively, Michael A Taylor is tremendous liability in the batting order. His current slash line is .212, .257, .379, .636. You just can't keep writing that level of production in the batting order every day. We were better off using Kepler in CF.

The other question is how do the Twins clear a spot on the 40 man for Lewis, who is coming off the 60 day IL? Maybe move Alcala on the 60 day IL? I don't expect him back anytime soon.

Agreed he needs to be in the outfield

He can run and slide

but obviously cannot be an OF?? SMH. overboard on the overprotection

Castro is now getting time in center. he'd be fine as a platoon with Buxton, and if it's that bad, have Taylor play the last 2 innings in center.

Zulgad pointed this out. The Merry Popkins effect:

Twins have scored 2 runs or fewer in 20 games. Now 4-16 in those games.

Not only that

They've scored 3 or fewer runs in 55% of their games.

Or Gordon
Depending on how long his fracture will take to heal.

That's why I hated sending Wallner down. He was rolling in the middle of a sputtering lineup. They can always send him down if he starts slumping. The hope (and we all know what a great strategy that is) now is that Lewis and Kirilloff can ignite something.

IF they stay healthy they will produce. Tremendous talents, but so injury prone to date.

Gordon was put on the 60 day with his fractured tibia

I’d really like to know what’s really wrong with buxtons knee, he has surgery after last season. So what aren’t they telling us, is this knee shot for the rest of his career. Same thing with Mauer we have to be so secretive about injuries. This ownership group along with the two gms are awful.

He's been stealing bases, so IDK what the deal is. Maybe he had some more glass implants.

Wallner is a real head scratcher.

It takes a real idiot to send down the hottest guy on the team. FFS, ride him until he cools off.
