[ALCS GM 2] Mariners (Gilbert) vs Blue Jays (Yesavage): 10/13/25, 5:03pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, so it's Gilbert and not Castillo. Gilbert started last Tuesday, but also threw two innings of relief in extra innings on Friday.

[Jonn]

Need a massive bounce back today. Also no reason why the roof shouldn’t be open today it’s going to be a beautiful day.

[Jonn]

Chances of winning just went up 30%

[wewlad]

Must win game, lets get it boys

[glory]

Need the bats to get going tonight. I didn’t like JS’s managing last night but that wasn’t what cost them the game. The bats were dreadful. Need a nice turnaround tonight before heading to the stadium where offense dies from Games 3-5.

[Doubleplay21]

No Little pitching. Walk wild pitch walk wild pitch. This story is never seen by the manager 

[Stangstag]

3-0 in playoff games w the dome open. Lets make it 4-0

[Grant77]

Gilbert, as with all Seattle pitchers, is quite bad on the road. He has a 4.84 ERA and 4.33 FIP with K% way down and BB% way up.

yep, Non-competitive at bats most of the night last night.

[HomeRunHomer]

I thought game 1 was must win but the Blue Jays lost.

Game 2 is now super duper must win.

Going down 2-0 at home would probably be the end of this playoff run. Would have to go 4-1 starting in Seattle.

So lets win tonight.

Yeah the two teams seem pretty evenly matched talent-wise, so can't afford to go down 2-0 and reduce the margin for error, especially with Game 4 looming as a Scherzer day. 

[SeranthonySantander]

Gonna be a big game 

[hanton]

hope the players all have mirrors and they checked them this morning, gotta dig deep and stay within yourselves.......lol

[DAAJankeesLose]

Understatement of the century

The Jays could've had prime Halladay pitching a complete game with only two ERs last night, and still lose. 

[G-Snarls]

Glad Lukes is back in there 

[BatFlip]

The bats are going to get going and the kid is going to throw some filth.

Let's goooooo!

[Masterbather]

Great to see Lukes.

Barger continues to bat too high.

It's been pretty evident for a while that Schneider will gladly watch our season dissipate in the hands of Little and Hoffman, although I will grant you it's the offense that really lost the game yesterday. One of the two or three worst performances of the season. Awful.

Schneider.  love it

[glory]

No issues with DS in there. Santander is a better hitter but he was awful to begin the season (due to injury) and then missed most of the season with an injury and came back literally right as the regular season ended. Not a lot of time to get in rhythm, and now he's in a playoff setting which is a different animal. He hasn't looked awful at the plate or anything, but might be time to accept that 2025 is a write off for him. Let DS cook. 

[ComeTogether]

Won 1 game in 2016 ALCS

Won 2 games in 2015 ALCS 

Started both series on the road, went down 0-2 in series both times. 

But different team, different yr.   Win tonight, it's a best of 5.  Hoping this goes to game 6 or 7.

this exactly, he's close but not ready yet just accept it and move on.  Schneider on the other hand rarely has a bad AB

[Kordesi]

A bit early lol … let’s fecking goooo Jays!

What has Hoffman done in the playoffs to dissipate the season?
