May 19, 20188 yr Definitely true, but he doesn’t strike me as the type who may or may not give a flip about his struggles (sano?). Easier to brush off a guy who looks like who doesn’t care over the guy SEEMINGLY trying but being so utterly lost.I’d have a hard time booing buxton. And I’m a huge proponent of booing.We don’t see when the real trying is supposed to be happening. I’m not giving Buxton points for gripping the bat into sawdust or looks sad when he fails.
May 19, 20188 yr Carson: "On the other hand, in the bottom half of these innings, it's like a truck load of pepper mills crashed. Traffic ground to a halt."
May 19, 20188 yr Mauer listed as day to day with “neck tightness” per LEN3Because it's required: "bilateral?"
May 19, 20188 yr Magill's fastball is sitting at 95 mph consistently, that's why he's been successful
May 19, 20188 yr Magill's fastball is sitting at 95 mph consistently, that's why he's been successfulWhy is he pitching here?
May 19, 20188 yr Where is Phil Hughes? Seriously.I'll take "Questions I would never, ever have expected to see Sixel post for one thousand, Alex."
May 19, 20188 yr We don’t see when the real trying is supposed to be happening. I’m not giving Buxton points for gripping the bat into sawdust or looks sad when he fails.I’m more angry at the numerous scouts who filled our heads with (possibly) unattainable expectations regarding buxton.

May 19, 20188 yr Author Where is Phil Hughes? Seriously. Alright let's do this again. First one to find him wins. http://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_main_image/public/toysandgameie.jpg?itok=mIsu2McG
May 19, 20188 yr Whew, I was getting worried that not every starter in the Brewers’ line-up would get a hit this evening.
May 19, 20188 yr I’m more angry at the numerous scouts who filled our heads with (possibly) unattainable expectations regarding buxton.One more data point on why I mistrust prospects. Every. Single. One. Buxton was ranked the number 1 or 2 prospect by all three major services for 3 yrs running. Career minor league numbers of .302/.379/.504. I think the best use of minor leaguers is often to use them to get major leaguers.

May 19, 20188 yr Was Mauer the last highly touted twins prospect to actually hit expectations?Wilson Ramos and Matt Garza turned out ok.

Career minor league numbers of .302/.379/.504. I think the best use of minor leaguers is often to use them to get major leaguers.I don't disagree, but would note that Buxton has shown flashes of a very high ceiling, and some established major leaguers (like Lynn) have also played poorly for long stretches. I would think that lots of teams would be willing to trade a lot for Buxton.
May 19, 20188 yr Wilson Ramos and Matt Garza turned out ok.True, but we got 26 games out of Garza and 7 out of Ramos. Not the players fault, of course
May 19, 20188 yr Morneau.Was he highly touted (asking seriously), this was a bit before my time when he was coming up
May 19, 20188 yr Escobar and Max, thanks for showing up to play tonight. Combined they’re 5 for 6, rest of line-up is 3 for 25.
May 19, 20188 yr True, but we got 26 games out of Garza and 7 out of Ramos. Not the players fault, of courseAnd just to prove my point, we traded minor leaguer Ramos for proven major league talent Matt Capps. Need I provide further examples of the certainty of my plan? //hides head in shame
