Game Thread: Mets (Peterson) v Twins (Maeda), 9/9 @ 1:10pm CT

[BH67]

Rough first inning, then restored control at least through the 5th. Becoming a pattern for Kenta, and sufficient for the Twins bats to eat up an opposing bullpen late and win.

Vogelbach looks like Chris Farley in a baseball uni.

Donovan Solano is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Heard from the dugout:

"Yo, Barrels...unhook the plow!"

Funderburk needs to throw strikes

I saw Vogelbach when he was a minor leaguer and thought “no way will this guy ever get to the majors”. He homered and singled.

Good guess but Lawton never had 20 homers with the Mets.

Back when I was playing...it was "get the piano off!"

[rwilfong86]

Argh. 

[rwilfong86]

Not a fan of that call

[Craig Arko]

Good idea, sub-optimal execution.

[Azviking101]

Jeffers has an .832 ops. Let him swing the dang bat…

[Craig Arko]

Odds looking better that Funderburk makes playoff roster?

[Parfigliano]

Luplow has higher OPS .725 then Correa .714

[RpR]

Just checked the batter stats. for this game, Lewisis 0-3 probably because he want to not make the other boys feel like under achievers and Wallner is 0-3 because that is what he does.

[Parfigliano]

Mets usually dont throw runners out like this

Wallner .822 OPS

[IaBeanCounter]

3 outs on basepaths reduce potential Ks

[stringer bell]

Well, I think Rocco is experimenting a bit with small ball for postseason. If there’s not an element of surprise, positive results happen less often. Everyone in the park knew Castro would be running. 

[Parfigliano]

20 HR trivia answer Escobar and Teufel.

Batting Average .222, Gallo without the fielding skills.

Arhh, I feel bad for Luplow and Kepler but Kepler did well so now I feel better.

[Dave Borton]

Going to see Lopez tomorrow, up in 320.

[rwilfong86]

KEPLERRRR

[PDX Twin]

Sehr gut!

[Parfigliano]

Kepler just missed GS

[SwainZag]

MAX!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

That’ll play.
