Mets (TBD) vs Twins (Festa): 4/16/25, 12:10pm

I think Festa is legit. Also, healthy Buxton is fun.

Bader da Raider reminding me of guys like nick Punto  fun 2 watch

I don't feel so bad for tuning in top of the 8th.

I saw an earlier game highlight of him scoring and the hair flapping in the wind reminded me of vintage Dan Gladden

Anyone know why Castro was pinch hit for?

Radio guys said he got hurt in the top of the eighth. And speculated that Correa was able to play defense but not hit, resulting in the Gasper PH.

No man, you were not pitching.

I suppose not. Leastwise to the the Mets.

 

But someone's gotta take responsibility somewhere, else where does the Buck stop?

Could this be the start of something?? (I haven't seen Joe Mauer this happy since they came out with reduced sodium bologna. It was pretty neat)

He does seem to have some staying power. Let’s keep him up this time.

The Buck scored. Good win for the Twins. Buck is fun to watch, a real game changer when he is in the lineup.

Also a game changer when he literally scores the winning run. That helps.

Nice win. First one-run win and (of course) first walk-off. Bader helped win the game with his glove, bat and arm. The Twins had the right ghost runner and it looked like they got a huge break with a bad call at first base. 
 

Rocco might be well-advised not to use Jax on back-to-back days. 

[CRF]

Nice win, but wtf is up with Jax? He's been terrible so far.

First back-to-back losses for Mets, as well.

I'm no Rocco fan, but he played it the way should. Jax has to be better in that situation.

They better not send him back down once Lopez is ready. Paddack has to be the odd one out.

Jax is the problem.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Late to the party but nice win. Three out of the last four games, they have looked competent. Maybe turning a corner?

As for Jax, his leash is long and rightfully so. He was dominant last year. He'll get plenty more opportunities. Hopefully he's up to the task.
