Here we go again with Buxton. Injured again. The guy definitely has a problem staying on the field.

And for tonight, there's the Odorizzi factor. He was very good for the first 2 1/2 months of the season but since June 15, the numbers aren't good: 8 starts, 3-3 record, 7.04 ERA, 6.03 FIIP and 5.31 XFIP.

The Indians have a huge starting pithing edge, not sure the Twins can hold them off

Odorizzi sucks. Should have fleeced someone when he was hot.

Should have traded Buxton for that hippy from the Mets. But we hate spending money and love defensive specialists that can’t hit.

It seems like the Twins have plenty of guys who can hit and run prevention would be the likely culprit.

Watching Braves/Twins, it really looks like the Braves are just a superior version of what Minnesota is.

The Twins will regret not getting a starting pitcher at the deadline

It's slipping away

Cleveland just wont lose

By season end I doubt were within 10 games of the last wild card spot

But at least we will have our shitty prospects and light hitting defensive specialist!

You will have your 300 home runs and 6 runs a game. But that's only good if one is a stat chaser. More losing units past few days since Buxton back on IL.

how did they not sign one ace starter. incredible wasted year

because they're cheap

never once in 60 years have they sign any front line FA's or traded for a big name

remember how they fleeced a stadium out of us on the pretense it would enable us to compete for these players?

yes yes yes I do sleepy....
Cmon guys, are ytou forgetting we signed Joe Mauer to that wonderful contract?

To me, the sickest, most disgusting thing, is that they continue to have Joe Mauer Bobblehead days. He needs to be tossed into the dustbin of history,

It's evident tonight....Twins are a different team with Buxton in center.



The twins could beat the royals, easy team. Then lose a series to Atlanta & lost first two to cleveland without bruxton. This guy is worth a lot to Minny.

Buxton doesn't pitch

The problem was pretty glaring at the trade deadline and they did nothing to address it

I hope they lose every game for the rest of the season and fold the team

Fuck them

Not only that, but Buxton sucks, the people praising him to high heaven obviously haven't watched him for the last 4 years.

bruxton not the whole team. A big part of the defense. Bruxton can't prevent HR's and walks. Twins starters are 50 wins 30 losses. relief is 21-17 ----- yankees relief 34-13

twins have a losing record vs. teams .500 or better. the twins are crushing the bad teams 44-16

Of course the twins need pitching to compete with the yankees & astros.

the twins are tied for 4th in MLB in winning %. The Twins are just not the same without bruxton.

what a shot in the gut... well vikings start tomorrow so there is always that hope........ not so much

Just saw this now. I hope you took it. Nats may have some shot but doubtful on Cards and Braves. Cubs without Baez in trouble

Don't sleep on Atlanta, as surprising as this may sound they're only 2.5 games behind the Dodgers for the best record in the NL, their lineup is solid, and if their rotation pitches well they could be a dangerous team. Before the season I was high on them and made a WS future, I know you were low on them to start the season, but they're a good team and could beat LA in a series
