  • Here are some of the sights and sounds of Target Field from Oct. 4, 2023. The Minnesota Twins beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 to advance to the ALDS. It was a great crowd once again in Game 2, and I spent the game wandering around the stadium and collecting clips to share.
    Both the video and audio are pretty raw, it was all just shot on an iPhone SE, so not professional gear by any means. I don’t think this fully captures the sound/atmosphere, but I wanted to do my best to bring those of you who were not able to attend closer to the ballpark.

    I think the one really big pop I missed was Caleb Thielbar's massive inning-ending double play. That was among the louder reactions all series.

    • @Adaman135
      @Adaman135 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thielbar has been so good these past few years and never gets enough love across the league imo. Where was Pagan ? Just didn’t need him?

    • @TomFroemming
      @TomFroemming  ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess the rules are they can't be white anymore so as not to interfere with the players ability to see the ball. I'm just happy it's a hanky again after they had more of a towel the previous couple times.

    I've been a Twins fan my whole life. I went to games 1 and 6 of the 1987 World Series. I was 13. Hrbek's grandslam in game 6 is still the loudest, most electric moment I've ever experienced. The atmosphere at Target Field these 2 games brought back so many memories of their World Series runs in 87' and 91'. I've remained die hard through the years and years of disappointment and playoff heartbreaks. These 2 wins are now so much sweeter! I believe this team can go all the way! Thanks for sharing this!!

    Jays manager pulled one of the dumbest moves ive ever seen. Pull your 100 Million dollar pitcher after 3 Scoreless, pretty dominant innings.

    • @markarmani9636
      @markarmani9636 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Baldelli nearly matched him by, again, pulling our lefties immediately on a pitching change. Once they're out, Toronto did what they all do- they throw right handed relievers from there on out. Our pitching won this for us, so we were fortunate. We can't count on shutouts to win games though, and Rocco needs to manage the bench like he's got a brain. There's a lesson to be learned from the Jays doing what the ipad says vs (obvious) human baseball IQ.

    • @Benisuber1
      @Benisuber1 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@markarmani9636 Nope, that was the smart play. They scored runs after the pinch hits and once you have the lead you get to control the game.
      And you're ignoring that Willi is a switch hitter and they have 2 other good lefties they could have put out there whenever Kirilloff or Wallner came back out.
      Fairly simple stuff.

    And by the way, by far the best Twins coverage majors and minors. I think at 1 point during the season when it was looking really grim. May have had a couple back-and-forths with you about the direction of the team. Maybe some trade talks about a certain pitcher or 2. But looking back at it now you were right I was wrong haha. But really, it's the passion for the team that makes us fans.

    • @TomFroemming
      @TomFroemming  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There was a stretch in which the lineup couldn't score and the bullpen was slumping where I was pretty down on this team but I had hope that they'd sort through their issues. It would have been difficult at that time to imagine they'd have done it as well as they have.

    Nice of you to say that they were hard-fought games, but the Jays didn't show up offensively. 1 extra base-hit throughout the entire series. 9 runners left on-base yesterday. They should have done a lot better and they bottled it.
