2017 Minnesota Twins

Our offense is god awful

Yep, a quality start squandered.

Buxton should try bunting for a hit once in a while. It'd beat striking out. With his speed he should be doing it anyway.

We were just talking about this yesterday, he needs to do something to make contact and get some confidence.

And cue the Gibson meltdown...

 

[fknhippie]

any idea why Buxton is out of the line-up...scheduled rest day or because of his hitting?

Yeah, I wonder... lol

 

[powerchord86]

Wait, what's this? A LOSING STREAK!!!???


NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Good read on Buxton.

The Twins should be worried by Byron Buxton's dreadful start

 

[powerchord86]

Turrable. Just turrable.

 

[powerchord86]

I think I saw something saying he's off to the worst start in MLB in like over a hundred years or some shit.

Need to jump on Zimmerman early today.

Buxton 0-2 with a K so far today.

Odds he gets a multi hit game in April...assuming he stays up?

 

[powerchord86]

Hughes looking good after that hiccup in the first.

Nice power display to put some runs on the board and give us the lead.

 

[powerchord86]

Well look at that. A bunt single from Buxton then he comes around to score on a single. Boom!

Sano just turned this into a no contest with that bomb!

Hey, look how easy managing is.

Have your fastest guy whose struggling to hit, bunt.

Poof...5 run rally

Beautiful pitched game by Santana, one hitter. Nice win.

and Buxton only struck out once.

I hate to say it but I have completely given up on Buxton.

I have never in my 40+ years of watching baseball seen a player who was as bad at identifying pitches, it's as if he makes up his mind to swing before the pitcher releases the ball regardless of where the pitch ends up.

He may have stretches here and there where he is serviceable but he is the biggest bust in Twins history.

 

[powerchord86]

I was hoping for big things from him out of ST. I even made a trade to get him in fbb. Dropped after a week. GTFO with that garbage!

Something needs to be done with Gibson we can not run him out there 30 times this year!
