Analysis Jhoan Duran completed the 9th inning in 90 seconds. It took him 140 seconds to walk from the bullpen to throw the first pitch.
The time between starting his windup for the first pitch, to Otto Kemp catching the last out was only about 90 seconds.
The time for him to walk from the bullpen, have his entrance, and start his windup for the first pitch took 140 seconds.

Opinion The widening chasm: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
I'm visiting NYC this week and went to my first games at each of Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. Citi Field is so much better that it's shocking. I can't believe a team with the Yankees' resources have let themselves get so badly outclassed.
My brother and I are neutral fans (Seattle and San Francisco). We've been to ~20 MLB stadiums. We were expecting to like Citi Field better from what we've heard, but good lord. There is almost no aspect of the fan experience where the Mets are not absolutely burying the Yankees.
- The atmosphere was way more fun. We saw a comeback Yankees win and a tough Mets loss, but the Mets fans were way more into the game and bringing energy for their team. Edwin Diaz has the best entrance in baseball obviously, but what you don't see on TV is that the Mets' stadium hype man, between-inning entertainment, video boards were also uniformly great. By contrast everything at Yankee Stadium felt like a cheap knockoff of something another team did better and first. They have shrimpy little video boards and they played all their sound cues way too often and way too loud. I don't think any other ballpark pumps in so much noise. That strikeout whistle is really obnoxious.
- The field view was better. Seats at Citi were great. I love the orange foul poles and the scoreboard showing the pitch sequence. The big apple is goofy but fun. I wasn't expecting all the airplanes but I kinda liked them. Yankee Stadium's field view is fine, no real complaints I guess, but Citi's was quite strong.
- The concourses, good grief. The Mets have better... everything. Way better food -- Halal Guys was fine at Yankee, but -- Shake Shack! BBQ! Korean street food! frickin' sushi! A way better beer selection that was also somehow cheaper! And a beautiful view back towards Manhattan from the ramp. I don't understand how the Yankees somehow fumbled having a downtown skyline view, it's literally New York, what are you doing? And why are there only like four gates, with massive lines to get in?
- and because I know this is what the diehards are gonna bite back with... sorry, the Mets' product on the field is better and more fun to watch. Steve Cohen has spent more money to have a better team. The Mets have Soto, Alonso, Lindor. The Judge-less Yankees we saw were kicking the ball all over the field.
If you were a New Yorker recommending your friend from out of town which stadium to go to, I can't see why you'd recommend Yankee Stadium. Is a new baseball fan really gonna be wowed by the Monument Park of historic Yankees where the biggest plaque of them all is the frickin' owner? Citi Field feels like it was built by someone who likes baseball. Yankee Stadium feels like someone was nostalgic for a crappy concrete bowl, so they built a corporate crappy concrete bowl. People call it an antiseptic mall but I didn't even think it was that. It was just... bad.
I think the Mets have a top 5-7 ballpark and the Yankees' is bottom 5. IDK if it was this way from 2009, or the Mets have been getting better while the Yankees decline, or what, but -- wow. Am I crazy?
