    Mariners radio notes that Gilbert walked just one batter in his 35.2 June innings. Respectable.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Though I have to confess that they aren't always on the up and up.

    Now that Chief is here, I'm going to break out my collection of elevator jokes. They are good on so many levels.
  4. IndianaTwin
    That ball was bruised.
  5. IndianaTwin
    It's the fourth inning, so a good time for a break from the radio broadcast. This is indeed an enjoyable piece of music.

    Ober is 268 years old?
  7. IndianaTwin
    Sounds good.
  8. IndianaTwin
    THIRD BASE!
  9. IndianaTwin
    Get someone ejected and/or suspended.
  10. IndianaTwin
    And Koosman is the other they mentioned.
  11. IndianaTwin
    I specifically said pitchers, not third basemen. But yes on Goltz and Perkins.

    D’backs TV report that Thielbar is one of a small group of Minnesota-born pitchers with 300+ strikeouts. They named three others, Though they didn’t specify whether that’s the extent of the list or whether they were only talking about guys who played for the Twins, but all three did. Who are they?

    I assume that’s why he got the fifth. At 78 pitches, I’m guessing he won’t get the sixth.

    Unfortunately, his final line is going to look ugly. Realistically, if the Twins don’t score a bazillion, Festa doesn’t last as long.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Apparently you never got a book list from my college history prof.
  16. IndianaTwin
    I assume Festa is leading the league in run support.

    EDIT to add: I think Byron just made it 33-10.
  18. IndianaTwin
    Twins have a 32-10 edge in 100+ MPH exit velocities in the series.
  19. IndianaTwin
    Basically, Santana should be on first instead of Miranda. Goes both ways.
  20. IndianaTwin
    All the way to game 81 before I was reminded by an announcer (D’backs TV) that Jose’s cousin can sing.
  21. IndianaTwin
    Fastest home-to-first by anyone at Chase Field this year, per the D’back TV crew. That was not a bad play by the shortstop, but it’s Byron.

    I was in the lower deck, but further down the right field line. With having grown up near Iowa City, perhaps we passed each other, either at the game or on the road! And yes, I had the shirt for a long time. As recently as a few years ago, my brother-in-law still had his. This weekend was my only trip to the Met. That it was only my third MLB game ever had me not realizing how electric the atmosphere was, but it certainly made an impression on me. Oops. I didn't catch that the OP said right field. Agreed -- Stew climbed the left field pole as the caption says. In fact, the picture was probably taken from about my angle. My hotel memory from the weekend is a little different and more traumatic. We stayed in a suite, so I slept in the couch in one room. When I went to the bathroom, I walked into the bedroom my sister and brother-in-law were in, oblivious to the thought of knocking first. As an impressionable kid, I was appalled to see them in the same single bed. I later did the math and, as it turns out, my first niece was born nine months to the day later. They claim nothing happened that night, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    Also, with the picture at the top, let’s also not forget the great Butch Wynegar pictured in the background. Another favorite of mine.

    Please not a Ford Fiesta.

    Eleven-year-old me was in the right field bleachers. The actual crowd was at least two less than announced. My brother-in-law wanted a jersey of his own, so he bought two extra tickets. We went in with the extra tickets, got the shirt, exited and reentered with our actual seats, getting a second shirt. My first game at the Met had been the previous day, when the crowd got on Adams for being a little lackadaisical going for a ball, so he was still getting some grief when he came up and hit a grand slam on Sunday. Steve Stone was the pitcher for Chicago, so the game occasionally comes up on broadcasts that he’s doing. A few years ago at Twins Fest, Carew was part of a panel, aand I was able to ask him about the day. He spoke for several minutes, naming it his most memorable day as a Twin and talking about how much the fan reaction meant to him. He received several extended standing ovations over the course of the day. That day remains the most memorable game I’ve ever been to and ranks alongside Game 6 and Game 7 as the three biggest moments of my Twins fandom.
