GDT: 1/3 Seattle Mariners @ Toronto Blue Jays (4:07 et)

[THANOS]

Vlad should absolutely do some serious reflecting once the season is finished.

 

The guy needs to meet with the high performance psychologists and get his head game back in check. Going from someone who's extremely patient and doesn't chase, to his best Bo impression and also killing worms. If the Front Office doesn't do all in their power to fix him, it's malpractice.

[DigitalRock]

Team Homan earns a big extra end victory. But the real question this season is whether Holman and Fleury can coexist or is it a case of too many cooks?

 

Wtf is this gibberish lol

[Stangstag]

Just one of those games

[Jonn]

 

That's your 2-3.

 

One Game.

[BigCecil]

Castillo is a beast wish we got him

 

Our big deal for two top prospects (at the time) was Berrios. They didn't want back to back year prospect drain I guess. Price was too high in the market in '22.

Just sign him to a $350M contract extension!

Inflation even hit the MLB trade deadline.

Lol imagine the groundball rate he'd give us once he's already been paid?

[Jonn]

Well they’re now 2-21 combined in 3 postseason games with 0 extra base hits.

 

Covid Playoff games don’t count.

[jaysblue]

The Mitch White comparison is such a weird take; he was a last second get to improve depth. I am sure there were attempts to land someone big, possibly including Castillo, but CIN liked SEA's package (And it was a big one) more.

 

Its not like Atkins said nah I don't want Castillo, lets put all the resources into getting White instead!

 

---

 

Yup. Munoz to get 5 outs.

 

I have nothing against the Mitch White trade. He is what he is - a solid No. 5 starter and pitching depth with controllability.

 

He wasn't going to make a huge difference for the Jays down the stretch and we saw that.

[BCZ]

 

That's your 2-3.

 

Bo looks like he wants to be a hero on every pitch which makes no sense when you're down by 4 and nobody is on base...

[jaysblue]

Covid Playoff games don’t count.

 

Then I suppose their 2021 success doesn't count as well because of you know...COVID.

[Jonn]

People here are so concerned about Vladdy’s extension when Bo is the one they tried to aggressively sign early and Bo turned down the team friendly extension.

Grand slam ties the game baby

Its hard to take much from that 60 game Season. Plus the playoff format was so different. It felt like it was over before it started.

Well he can't do anything but get 1 infield single in 3 playoff games so, probably worth 10 years 50M at this point lol

[Daniel Labude]

Here comes the 5 run inning!!!!!!!!!!!

[Captain_Obvious]

I think Bo would command more. 10 years 150M should be good. This would set Vlad's reasonable value at 5 years 75M.

[DigitalRock]

Mariners pitching dominant, pitching wins

[havok24]

Their pitching is lights out.

Nope. Hitting wins...if you haven't read anything this season on here lmao

[Solaxys]

Its whatever; we can go round and round about it.

 

Castillo > Manoah, Ms got the clutch hits when Manoah made mistakes - we didn't when Castillo made mistakes.

 

Ms gameplan > ours.

 

/thread

 

Show up tomorrow, beat up Ray; if not, well there better be one revolutionary off-season.

[BuckHenry]

Kirk sure doesn’t crowd the plate …. Mind you with that f***er throwing 103 ; don’t blame him .

[Daniel Labude]

I think Bo would command more. 10 years 150M should be good. This would set Vlad's reasonable value at 5 years 75M.

 

We could get Kirk at 10 years and 10M total at those values. Gotta do it right

[Ray]

Mariners showcasing maybe some of the best pitching we'll see this playoffs.

 

Castillo and Munoz are just unfair.

[Captain_Obvious]

Kirk provides similar war to Vlad in the long run probably. He is also fat like Vlad. 5 years 75M.

Position, body, and weight cut that by at least 80%

Some quality LHBs would sure help. Can Berger or Horowitz provide something in that sense ? The team seems to have soured on Biggio

[Masterbather]

There's something poetic about this game ending with the feeble bat of Tapia.
