Man, being a Twins fan is strange.

6 games and a Buxton injury. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

If Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine, Buxton would be on the field right now.

DAMN YOU RUSSIA

No, I said two Hail Marys and did a rain dance.  What happened?

I love Buck but this is why I wanted us to trade him.  He is just not meant to play 150 games a year.

6 games and 8 pitches.

Just a cruel joke. The simplest of baseball plays ever. Just the most fragile human in existence.

I'm sure he was just giving 110%

Dude, now is not the time to toot your own horn.  Let's hope it's a minor injury and he can back out there soon.

That’s one word to use. I was thinking more along the lines of ****ing misery

[wavedog]

Verdugo out in the field makes our leftfielders look great!   Of course he always seems to kill us at the plate.

Awkward Buxton slide.  He's out of the game.

[Cap'n Piranha]

The irony of Boston fans booing Carlos Correa while calling him cheater, all while blithely unconcerned that their manager is Alex Cora, is hilarious to me.

Had you seen the play, you would know Buxton gave maybe 50% on that play, and would in all likelihood have avoided injury had he indeed given 110%.

[wavedog]

So when I tuned into the broadcast they were saying Correa always hits well in Fenway park and against the Red Sox - so naturally his first at-bat he grounds into an easy double play.

Well... I guess its good to get that out of the way. No more worrying about when Buxton will get injured. Onward with the rest of the season!

Yeah, sorry, that came across harsher than I had intended.  I'm just pissed about Buxton, and having a fairly rotten week at work to boot.

I should take this moment to tell everyone to watch their step. My ban finger is itchy BECAUSE I WILL EXERT CONTROL OVER THE FEW THINGS I CAN CONTROL RIGHT NOW

Ugh.....anyone who is watching, what happened? Leg? Ankle? Knee?
