Twins @ Mets IGT -- 4/22/26

[Edgy MD]

That's definitely one of two likely outcomes.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Did anyone else's broadcast just switch to spanish?

LIndor left with calf tightness, and now I feel bad.

Don’t…think of it as sensitive to his issues 

[Frayed Knot]

The Mets (it may not surprise you to learn) are DFL among all 30 teams in OBA, and yet they're in the upper half in GiDPs and maybe upper quarter pending the outcomes of tonight's action elsewhere. They're currently up to 18 with the second one tonight.

That's not getting it done.

That's actually really hard.

And Vientos re-defines what it is to be a dead duck.

No comment needed.

Nobody? It was Spanish right up until Vientos got tagged out when it switched back to Gary.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Just switched back again

[Edgy MD]

I'm guessing Benge's role tonight is as late-inning pinch-runner, most likely for Soto or possibly Alvarez.

I lied, I just thought of a comment.

The only way Vientos is safe there is if Robert was throwing the ball.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pretty sure we just saw LWFS in the front row

[ashie62]

The boo birds are singing

[Edgy MD]

Mets winning the walk count tonight, which I'm guessing they haven't done in 13 games.

[metirish]

I'm driving and listening to Howie ,he was incredulous with running through the stop sign 

 

"You just can't make that mistake " 

[Edgy MD]

I wasn't up for sending Raley out there to face Buxton, but that was some impressive work out of the gate.

So that's why he's not here, big shot 

[Edgy MD]

But come on.  Lock it down, Brooks.

[Frayed Knot]

If you have Austin Martin on your squad, don't you have to scour the waiver wire for a player named James Bond?

[ashie62]

Luke Weaver, this should be special 

Boo

[Edgy MD]

The Mets need to get .091 backup Twins centerfielder James Outman into the game.

[ashie62]

Booooo

[Frayed Knot]

Not funny Weaver. Nice catch Alvarez.

 

 

So the Twins first reliever tonight, Kendry Rojas, allowed 2 hits and 3 walks in two innings but no runs.

How? Well, for starters, he faced 8 batters but only had to retire 3 of them to pull it off. The other three outs came on two GiDPs and Vientos being thrown out at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Alvarez squeezes that popup and the fans roar like it's game seven of a playoff series.

[Frayed Knot]

Can't run for Soto here. He's still likely to come up again either in the 9th or 10th.

[Edgy MD]

Did not know Taylor Rogers was back with the Twins.

Probably not the first actual identical Twin on the Twins, but maybe.  And now he has twin tenures as a Twin.

[Frayed Knot]

And now FOUR baserunners erased!! Two them essentially self-erasing.

[Edgy MD]

Soto not quite as dead a duck as Vientos, but goodness, the smell of duck is in the air.

Goodness with the base outs tonight.

Hate to say it but I’m glad it’s not just us.

I'm with Howie. We should send Vientos to Syracuse but Mendy will probably buy him dinner for being "aggressive."

[Frayed Knot]

Between Orze, Caratini, and now Topa, I feel like the Twins are less a ball club than a recipe of some sort.
