How long do we keep saying this?

I know a bunch of you just love his defense, but that is all he has is his defense. Yup he is young but the problem with that is he is hitting in AAA and just cant hit major league pitching. Bring someone else on that can hit and field.

 

 

 

All Buxton is missing right now is his offense, if he starts to succeed in that department he is a Hall of Famer.

 

Filing this one under: nitpicking

Waiter, there's a fly in my soup!

But sir, you ordered fly soup.

...Well then, there should be more flies!

I hope Molly is quick with a hook here if it starts to get ugly...

 

I did not know that one, but looked it up. Good one!

 

Thanks for reminding me... meant to go back and plug in the answer after people had a chance to guess/google.

Vargas with the agility!

Funny my mlb game cast said Cano got a single, hence the above post...guess he made an out!

 

Vargas with the agility!

Yes, yes...very athletic.

maybe they could work out a trade for aaron hicks.

Just surf through the one on Californium.

The two chapters after Californium were about Silicon, which looked like a fake and unnatural place to put them.

 

Yes, yes...very athletic.

 

Back in the day, a certain Captain I loved to watch would have wanted Vargas for his crew...

 

good win. glad i didn't miss the first inning.

winnah!

Kintsler's two seamer fading to catch the outside corner. Two perfect pitches.

 

Nice game. I shall allocate myself a small smile from the smile drawer. 

Very nice win after yesterday's disappointment.

You know what they always say...play .500 at home and win on the road.

Winner!

Good grief stop it with this nonsense.

 

Buxton is a big big reason this team is in first and not in last. His defense alone makes him a valuable player - he is, bar none, the best defensive center fielder in the league. 

 

Absent the first couple of weeks of the season, and he's hitting at a relatively decent clip. Sure, he went 0-4 today. But he went 3-3 yesterday with a homer a double, a single and a walk, and he was 2-4 the game before that. 

 

Some players just take longer to adjust. Give him time and he'll be fine. But even if he isn't, his defense is all world. 

Well, it's maybe not quite how they drew it up, but the Twins pulled off the split in the series, and added the bonus of another excellent Berrios start.

Plus, it's far too early to give up on a 23 year old playing in what figures to be his first full major league season.

Yes, good eye. No serious bowler would have his shirt tucked in.

I held off because it was LaBombo's video, but I still don't see an answer from him, so: Chip Hale.

"Rhymes with Hip Chale" was a pretty good hint. Extra bonus: In what stadium did this occur?

I did finally go back and add the answer to my post, but with encryption rivaling U-boat Enigma codes. Giver-uppers will have to push through to ash's post at the end to find the answer.

Fudge. I was having network troubles, thus had a backlog of posts to check, and I took the shortcut of doing a search on "Hale". Next time I'll include spoonerisms too, and maybe anagrams.

Apologies to Mr. Ashbury for implying he's not too bright.

Post of the year.

I'm sure we're fine. Fortunately for us, he's not a Haighter.
