This is as comfortable as it gets watching a game! I don't even feel like I'm tempting fate. Oliver Drake can't hurt us anymore!

[markedman5]

That was a laser beam throw and Cain was out by one step. That wasn't really a horrible send with 2 outs.

 

Agree.......every time somebody gets thrown out at the plate it's not Seder's fault.

 

With 2 outs you make the guy make a good throw......he did.....we move on with a 7-1 lead....oh the horror.

Logan giving up a lot of hits to lefties for a Loogy.....hopefully he finds his groove soon.

Boone Logan on the other hand...

The great results of the pen have been spoiling us. This is more how typical pens work. Good days and not so good days.

 

Logan is a proven solid MLB pitcher. Probably still working out the rust. I'l give him the benefit of the doubt. This is the perfect spot for him to get work.

Watching Logan pitch , and looking at his previous stats, I feel like Mark Wahlberg’s character in the other guys when he finds out Eva Mendez is Will Ferrell’s wife... no seriously who is that!? Lol

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man Aguilar has a sweet swing. The guy can just flat out hit. Indians made a mistake letting him go for nothing.

[wallus]

Get hot Domingo.

I'm a fan of all these base runners

It wasn’t that good of a throw overall. I’d rather have a slower throw on line than having my catcher chase it and run back. He was far enough from being safe he didn’t even attempt an evasive slide. It wasn’t very close.

 

Like usual after rounding third all I could think was “not even going to be close” and shocking...it wasn’t.

This bag oof tarrolo chips Is bs. What so I get, 6 full chips??!!?

15-1 against teams under .500? I didn't realize we were dominating teams like that.

[hurricanecrush]

These blowout wins are getting boring

[LouisEly]

Buxton really isn't that much different than Keon Broxton. Trouble for the Twins is he was a top prospect so he'll get all the time in the world.

Not much difference between them.

 

Buxton's career: 6.7% BB, 31.6% K, wOBA .294, wRC+ 79

 

Broxton's career: 10.7% BB, 37.2% K, wOBA .312, wRC+ 93

 

You could make an argument that Broxton is a better player offensively. I haven't seen much of Buxton defensively, but to be a 3.5 fWAR player last year he must be the best thing in CF since Willie Mays.

11-10 against teams over .500 that aren't the Cubs.

Drunk thread 1/2 v2.3?

[young guns]

Heck, maybe Aguilar since he’s trending backwards through the month of May.

Who do you plan on giving a motivational speech to tomorrow, because today's was a success.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Suter may never be a regular member of the rotation, but don't underestimate how valuable having a guy like him is. Pretty crazy how many fans don't like him just because he doesn't throw 95. For the most part, he's been solid this year.

[TURBO]

It looked like Cain slowed down coming around third, probably wasn’t expecting to be sent. It’s as good a time as any to have that happen.

 

He doesn't know the windmill very well yet, he'll learn...

Meh, I could take Logan or leave him, he's not as proven solid as you'd think, just been around a long time. There isn't much margin for errorBut he has been proven pretty solid at retiring left handed batters. As long as that's all we plan for, I agree, he should get better at that and be given some time.

Buxton is +32 DRS & +16.6 UZR career which puts him 5th/8th among 33 CF with at least 1,500 innings since 2015. Keon comes in at +2 DRS/-1.2 UZR, which puts him 18th in the same sample by both measures.

 

Buxton is also 3.5 years younger (Keon was in AA at the same age) & showed some improvement at the plate posting an 89 wRC+ over 842 PAs in 2016-17 before getting off to an abysmal start this year.

 

Between the already upper tier defense, somewhat recent signs of life on offense, relative youth/maybe still untapped upside & Minnesota's market size/place on the win curve I think Buxton is worthy of whatever time he gets.

I thought I say no more math! Uzr schmoozer
