An actual Saturday afternoon IGT, Mets @ Twins 9/9

[Frayed Knot]

A real live one o'clock local time Saturday afternoon baseball game (2:10 EDT first pitch) just like old folks remember from their youth.



David Peterson and Kenta Maeda will be your starting pitchers and, in honor of the start time, both will go the distance while throwing 150 pitches.

As a result, the PointBets line on the combined runs scored for the game is currently set at 23.5

So far? Yeah!

Jeff McNeil



Shall he stay or shall he go

[Frayed Knot]

Two straight two-out hits in both the 2nd & 3rd innings are what's ruining Peterson's afternoon so far.

Ron throwing shame all around the booth. Shaming players and shaming the lords of the realm.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This would be a good time for Batys first mlb hit

[kcmets]

Funderburk is one great name.



"Hi, I'm Kevin Funderburk!"

[Edgy MD]

Harold Reynolds' voice has gone seriously rough.

[Edgy MD]

Narváez has pickoff skillz also!

[Frayed Knot]

Both Steve and Ronnie have altered the pronunciation of Luplow from Lup-Low to Loop-Low during the course of the game.

Loop-Low is how I remember his uncle Al's name being pronounced. Howie probably straightened them out.

4 hits last night

5 so far today

[Edgy MD]

Assists from two catchers in one game.

[Edgy MD]

Minnesota not as shy as the Mets about using relievers on consecutive days.

[Frayed Knot]

Doug Mientkievicz and Carlos Gomez only 11 & 5 HRs as a NYM

I didn't think of either Tuefel or Escobar ... which explains why I suck at I.G.

Five batters faced by Drew Smith

He's retired one

[Edgy MD]

The guy behind home plate, just over the Target Field sign, has got a sunburn that he's going to be feeling for a few days. Weeks maybe.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Smith has been disappointing this year.

[Edgy MD]

Well, I'd like that pitch back.

Drew Smith may be the defining Met of the season.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get some dudes on base before hitting one to outer space.



Either that, or hit four more of those, Alonso.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Well this game went straight to heck. It was 3-2 when I last checked in.

[Edgy MD]

Or a couple from D.J. Stewart is good, too.
