In case anyone else besides me is interested, the NL leads AL 332-303 in Interleague Play this year, with only an 18 run deferential. (2890 runs to 2872) Let's show a team leading an AL division by 16 games how tough the NL really is. LGM! Later

6.5 games, mainly because the Guardians elected to punt.

Yeah, I thought 16 sounded a little lofty but didn't fact check.

Yep. I read the wrong column on baseball-reference. 16 is their magic number to clinch. (they call it the elimination number) What ever happed to the good old days when games behind/ahead was the column on the right? Darn those meddling kids.

Turn Keuchel into a victim

How many times has Lindor hit cleanup this year? Later

Here at Target Field. A very lovely park. An usher is giving out Mets/Twins baseball cards. I got Teufel. There are many sheriff officers roaming the grounds with assault rifles. I thought for a second that was just how Minny police roll. A better guess is that Chris Christie is in the park tonight.

I like to think that many of us invented interleague play over 50 years ago with our Strat O Matic sets

It's a wonderful park! The architecture is great, and the Twins have some neat traditions, like having a veteran raise a flag on a pole from the Met. There's a team store behind home plate in the upper deck that has discounted items.

48 pitches thru 2 IP for Senga Not getting very deep at that pace.

Marshmallowmilkshake Sep 08 2023 07:31 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

I like the Twins' new uniforms.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2023 07:51 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

It looks like they have Orioles batting helmets. When did the Twins add orange to their palette? I guess their blood red just comes out differently when rendered in helmet plastic.

Well, that was an ugly way to go down 3-2.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2023 08:11 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

Q: How many bad throws can they make on one play? A: All of them

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2023 08:19 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

Two runs in with one ball leaving the IF all inning. Well, two counting the attempted throw to 3rd base.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2023 08:33 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

Once again the bullpen will be widely blamed for the loss. Once again the lineup has amassed four hits.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2023 08:38 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

I think this guy needs more production value on his entrance.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2023 08:41 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

Twins burn their mound visit and the tying run on deck. Take a strike, Francisco.

Fman99 Sep 08 2023 08:42 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

This Twinks closer is some Armando Benitez level good stuff but no clue where it's headed stuff

Edgy MD Sep 08 2023 08:44 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

It's a gift when you hit a tailor-made double-play grounder and all three fielders screw it up.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2023 08:45 PM Re: IGT 09/08 - Metsies at Twinkies (aka NYM @ MIN)

And nertz.

Target Field is a really nice park. They do a great job of honoring ex-players and not just the ones in the HOF or with retired numbers. I love that the stadium is located right downtown. The food was decent and it was easy to get around the place. My expectations for the game were low and the Mets didn't disappoint. It was great to see the youngsters play, but some of them look absolutely lost at the plate. It seemed like Senga bounced the majority of his forkballs. The walks killed us and throwing the ball around the field defensively looks like the Bad News Bears. That said, the Locastro diving catch was amazing.
