WILDCARD GDT: 2/3 (yes we're going to 3 games) Mariners @ Blue Jays (4:07et)

[Omar]

 

 

Robbie Ray, who won the American League Cy Young Award last season with the Toronto Blue Jays, will try to eliminate his former team on Saturday afternoon with the Seattle Mariners.

The left-hander will start Game 2 of the best-of-three American League wild-card series against the Blue Jays.

 

The Mariners won the opener 4-0 on Friday afternoon.

Ray went 13-7 with a league-leading 2.84 ERA for Toronto last season before finishing 12-12 with 3.71 ERA for Seattle this year.

Ray is 0-2 with a 5.59 ERA in his three career postseason appearances (one start).

 

In three career starts against the Blue Jays, he is 1-1 with a 3.50 ERA. He started once against Toronto this season, allowing one run and three hits with six strikeouts in six innings in a no-decision on July 9.

The Blue Jays will start right-hander Kevin Gausman (12-10, 3.35 ERA) in Game 2. He is 1-3 with a 2.74 ERA in eight career outings (seven starts) against the Mariners. Gausman faced Seattle once in the 2022 regular season, when he yielded two runs on seven hits in five innings while taking a loss on May 18.

In six career postseason appearances (one start), Gausman is 0-1 with a 3.94 ERA.

Hell yeah we're going three games!!!

[Stangstag]

I think the key here is score first.

 

Can’t have Gausman giving up any runs in the first inning, and can’t let Ray get settled in

[John_Havok]

Jays have to be ready for Ray's sinker. He's started throwing it 20% of the time this year versus.... like 5 times total all of last season.

[DigitalRock]

Need to score early, get crowd going, gain momentum

Oh god not the sinker

[Skinny Wolf]

Just don't give up runs early, keep game close. Jays will win

[bones10]

Just win!

[Horses Fart]

I’m scurd!!

[Solaxys]

If we win, yay. Ride into another day.

 

If we lose, please no more f***ing dumb quotables - esports teenage trashtalk.

 

Just show up next year, shut up and do better.

The 'movie' quote, the 'pressure' quote, the 'my house' quote - all great and all if you back it up but then falls completely flat and embarrasses you, the team, the fandom infront of all of MLB when you don't deliver.

Apparently the prices for tickets at RC are dropping precipitously, 20-35$ bucks now for 500 seats

[JaysAllMighty]

Go Jays Go!

 

We got this!

[WryNGinger]

Surprised they didn't leave Whit at second and swap Tapia for JBJ in left.

[bones10]

Hope this game isn't like the Guardians game, way too much stress.

Much better GDT than yesterday. I like the makings of this one.

[Daniel Labude]

Seriously

[G-Snarls]

Dammit

 

Need a DP

[Jonn]

You just can’t f***ing have that in a playoff game.

[ComeTogether]

Fail

[DigitalRock]

Ffs that’s routine

[Deadpool]

Oh f***, c'mon Espinal.

[EdwinsParrot]

Nice espy…

[ComeTogether]

Get a DP now

[Jonn]

It’s annoying because Gausman would have had 2 outs on 3 pitches. Lets see how much harder he has to work now.

[John_Havok]

Best defensive IF on the roster, boots a routine grounder. hopefully it doesnt hurt.
