Twins @ Mets IGT 4/23/26 -- Building on one in a row!!
Frayed Knot replied to Frayed Knot's topic in Archived Game Threads
Not sure if you heard it or if it occurred while your feed was in Espanol, but Gary mentioned the issue in reference to yesterday's game. Only some feeds apparently so it sounds like Verizon may be the issue. -
Twins @ Mets IGT 4/23/26 -- Building on one in a row!!

Sucking a wee bit less in the bottom half of the inning. -
Chances now for both Mauricio and Vientos to show what they can or can't do.

Twins @ Mets IGT 4/23/26 -- Building on one in a row!!
Frayed Knot replied to Frayed Knot's topic in Archived Game Threads
Who your team does or doesn't pick is important. What's mindless, to me, is staring at a TV for three+ hours (the 'pre-draft' part of the coverage is already in progress) hearing guys speculate who Might be picked where followed by the actual draft itself where 32 names are announced over a 180 minute long span. That's the part I don't get. If I did care about the draft I'd flip over between innings of an actual sporting event and read the crawl. I'd get the same info only without having to witness the phony build-up, the awkward bro-hug, or the ridiculous suits. -

Mauricio, btw, hit 3 HRs for Syracuse on Tuesday. -
Runner's builds are funny sometimes. John Olerud [6' 5"/205] had a similar long, lean build to that of Von Hayes [6' 5"/185], or Cris Collinsworth [6' 5"/192] to bring a football player into the mix. Hayes roamed the OF and stole over 250 bases. Olerud remained anchored at 1B and stole 11 in a longer career. Collinsworth was a schoolboy sprint champion in the state of Florida prior to an eight year career as an NFL wide receiver. And we can talk about who carried around the biggest piano while running all we want. But it took Mo Vaughn so long to round the bases you swear he stopped to play it a couple times.

Cuz what else are ya gonna do on a Thursday night ... watch six hours of Roger Goodell blandly reading off six names per hour and then bro-hug a bunch of guys you've barely heard of?!?!?!?? Winners of one in a row, the Mets look to win a season series for the first time since ... I'm thinking maybe last June although I may have to verify the accuracy of that particular 'fact'. To wit, 'Crash' Christian -- aka: Christian Scott -- makes his first ML appearance since July of 2024. when he made he last of his nine ML starts [0-3; 4.56 ERA; 1.20 WHIP]. He missed the rest of 2024 and all of '25 so his only game action since then is the three starts he made with Syracuse this season. He faces 29 y/o righty Joe Ryan who has allowed just 18 hits in 27.1 innings so far and half those hits came in his one bad outing so far, a 4-inning clunker vs KCR

Staub second tour was definitely slower. But Rusty '72- '75 was only somewhat slow. He had 47 career SBs more than half of them (24) of them during a three year span with Montreal in his age 25 to 27 seasons ['69, '70, '71]
-
Yeah, even mid-season last year when the Twins were seemingly making everyone available and you figure that Buxton would be a prime candidate to be moved, Buxton publicly announced that he wanted to stay with Minnesota and would not waive his no-trade clause. In the meantime, the Phils just lost (7-2 to the Cubbies) meaning that we and the Phightin's are now TIED for last place in the NL (L)East. It's not much, but it's something.
-
So not to cast any negative light on things during this joyous occasion, but we're 24 games into the season now and, if you figure that 4.5 R/G per team is the norm for a baseball team, the Mets now have FIVE games where they've scored more than 4.5 R/G [11, 10, 9, 5] and 19 where they've been 4 RS or fewer.
-
Weaver now tied (with Holmes) for the Mets lead in pitching wins (2).
-
As Jim Lampley said following George Foreman's comeback KO for his second heavyweight title, "It Happened!!"
-
And up comes Buxton.
-
If John Stearns were still 3B coach he'd likely would have drilled Vientos with a tackle. It's totally illegal but we all know how much Stearns used to love reliving his days as a Safety at U of Colorado.
-
Between Orze, Caratini, and now Topa, I feel like the Twins are less a ball club than a recipe of some sort.
-
And now FOUR baserunners erased!! Two them essentially self-erasing.
-
Can't run for Soto here. He's still likely to come up again either in the 9th or 10th.
-
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.
-
If you have Austin Martin on your squad, don't you have to scour the waiver wire for a player named James Bond?
-
I lied, I just thought of a comment. The only way Vientos is safe there is if Robert was throwing the ball.
-
No comment needed.
-
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.

Mackey Shilstone!!

So it's the 24th game of the season and we've had Lindor and Soto in the lineup together for 8-1/2 of them. On the plus side, Soto looked good getting down to 1st on a passed ball even though there was little chance of him getting to 2nd.
-
Is it me or was Lindor not really busting it from 2nd to 3rd? I mean, yeah, he scored anyway, but by a hair. On replay: he wasn't busting it 3rd to home either. And now G & R notice it too.
