The Strangest Ballgame I’ve Ever Seen

This past Wednesday, the Twins played an intrasquad game at Target Field. The game was shown online, and it was the first time in about four months that people could watch the Twins play a “game,” which was more like a scrimmage. The game ended in a 3-3 tie, but I didn’t care about the final score. The highlight of the game for me (other then watching live baseball for the first time in about four months) was how weird it was to see players playing what seemed somewhat like a normal game, but without fans. I took several screenshots during the game, which are included throughout this post, to show how strange it was.

To prepare for the season opener next Friday, the Twins wanted to make this intrasquad game as much of a real game as possible. The players were introduced before the game, the scoreboard was used, there were inning breaks and walk-up music for the hitters, and there was built-in crowd noise. I wasn’t sure about the built-in crowd noise before the game, but I actually liked that.

It was definitely not perfect, but it was a sign that baseball is back! Below are more screenshots from the intrasquad game. Make sure to watch the Twins season opener next Friday at 7:10 pm on Fox Sports North against the White Sox!
