    To clarify what 'no negativity' means in game threads, as it certainly doesn't mean be positive all the time, because, yuck ... I mean who wants to say, 'Yipppeeee!!!! Our pitcher gave up a grand slam

    Nobody really talks much about it but Rodney is 41 years old and throwing 95mph fastballs on a regular basis.   That's nuts.

Sometimes the Twins infield looks like the Keystone Cops. 

Buxton base hit and Dozier tries to hit it into the stratosphere and pops out.

Three curveball strikeout for Sano. He's looking very overweight, pretty sure that month-long layoff didn't help.

Sano K's on 3 pitches, 1 of them was in the strike zone. 

 

 

Has buxton tried to steal since being hurt

He's only been on base like 3 times since he got back. But yeah I believe he stole a base against Detroit last week.

The crowd is really quiet in Kansas City. 

LoMo walks, bases loaded. Now what?

Well, phooey. 

The batting order and the batting averages makes me shudder. What can be done to jumpstart the offense.

 

Gotta stop playing with fire

Dozier has to stop trying to pull the outside pitch

 

Sano has to stop swinging at pitches out of the zone

 

Buxton needs to level his swing out for better contact. 

 

Morrison needs to lay down a couple of bunts against the shift to loosen things up. 

 

Garver needs to play more than Wilson

 

Falvey and Lavine has to provide alternatives that Molitor will play on occasion in case these guys don't do what they need to do.

The only thing that can be done is to hope the guys playing start hitting. Or maybe a statement move like firing Molitor or the hitting coach.

Dozier, Sano and Morrison should hit lower in the order. Petit and LaMarre should play more.

Kepler

Rosario

Escobar

Garver

Dozier

Morrison

Grossman

Sano

Firing is a little extreme but I would like Molitor to not be so willing to ride it out.

yeah that's not a bad idea. I'd move those three down, too, but that means moving guys up who don't deserve to be up there. 

 

I'd bat Buxton 6th or 7th, not sure why. When he's on base, he affects the game, and batting him 9th assures he'll have the least chances to get on base. Not that he's getting on base much now. Also, I'd hope Mauer comes back soon, although that's not likely. 

Buxton can't get on base. His OBP is .186. That's a joke if you want him hit 6th/7th.

Junis gets a lot worse when he faces the lineup for the third time. His pitch count is a bit lower than ideal, but as long as Lynn keeps pitching well, this looks promising.

Also, Buxton puts a lot of GBs in play. It's a joke if he wants to be an All-star.

Twins games have gotten boring.  It's sad.

If Sano wasn't 300 pounds he would've gotten to that ball.

A lighter Sano would have caught that

If Sano wasn't 300 pounds he would've gotten to that ball.

He is another overhyed player in the world. Terrible defense and contact, no speed.

Why wasn't Escobar on the shortstop side?  We've seen the shift where Sano is on the 2B side and Escobar is on the shortstop side by himself.  That's an out if Escobar is on the shortstop side.
