Still a chance for you to just delete this post -
Louis Varland has pitched in every postseason game but one and he has a 2.80 ERA and xFIP Elite, and what a total professional trooper
-
The Mariners are all RHP SP
-
Need to be outside of grand slam territory LOL
-
I don't know if jerj kerby even knows how to not throw strikes
-
Flip Barger and Varsho but I like that idea
-
Someone needs to find Grant77 We need a ceremonial post about how horrible Seattle is and how their defense is the worst in the history of the American League. It seems to work when he says this.
-
I've thrown up 5 times already today
-
The Jays have the opposite scenario. They could use everybody but Bieber going 5+ innings would be massive.
-
Seattle must almost be tempted to go full bullpen game Munoz - 2 IP Brash - 1 Bazardo - 1 Speier - 1 (try to give him for the Varsho-Clement-Barger lane) Woo - 2 or 3 IP Kirby is barely needed and is he the weak link?
-
How built up is Woo? How many pitches can he throw? Feel like they will go with Kirby but with a very quick hook, and Woo is the next guy. Munoz is probably good for two innings today. If they don't get to Kirby and Woo is good, that means the key to the game might be to run up Woo so the Ms have to use some other relievers in the middle innings.

One of Lauer or Bassitt would be a great wrinkle to throw at the Mariners lineup at this point. You could even surprise the top of their order with that matchup. It won't happen. They used Bassitt in the game 1 blowout and must not have liked what they saw? I don't really get it either, especially since Schneider clearly trusts almost nobody in the bullpen at this point, aside from Varland. The WS would be October 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, Nov 1 Yesavage, Gausman, Bieber, Scherzer, Yesavage, Gausman, Bieber I get what you mean, but you'd then have Trey as the WS G7 secret weapon Anyway, gotta do whatever it takes to win tonight even if that means Jose Berrios has to start two games in the WS
-
For the World Series? I think he just would go game 2 on full rest. Trey game 1.
-
Such a crazy up and down series. A close series with almost no close games. Like two heavyweights just trading haymakers. Both teams at various times have looked like the Team of Destiny, or the Team Destined to Lose Game 5, Clement's bizarre and insane double play off home plate. Destined to Lose. Clement's 363 flyball is robbed from being a homer. Destined to Lose. Little and Seranthony serving it up. Destined to Lose. Cal Raleigh 340 foot pop fly homer. The Mariners are the Team of Destiny. Game 6. Vlad 116 mph groundball out with the bases juiced. Destined to Lose? And then Cal Raleigh bases loaded double play. Team of Destiny? Next inning, same thing. Team of Destiny? Leo Rivas is two feet from a two run homer, ends up with a silly single. Team of Destiny? Wild stuff. Drama.
-
I think Gausman has to be the weapon today. He could be the 6 out closer. Bieber - Varland - Gausman = the ideal roadmap. 6, 1, 2. If Bieber cannot give you 6 innings, then Seranthony + Hoffman are in play for the middle innings Schneider should not be scared to use Fluharty or Fisher but he seems to not trust them
-
Trey Yesavage Huge Nuts Whiff Jesus Double Play God
-
Hoffman can pitch an inning tomorrow, he's not "burned".
-
The Mariners can keyhole every reliever Almost need to just use Bassitt and Lauer. Secret weapons?
-
Game plan: No lineout double plays No once in a generation bases loaded random double plays No 363 foot flyouts stolen from being homers No 340 foot pop fly homers surrendered
-
Hey, good thing the measurement of truth is not "what is the YouTube crowd saying"
-
That will be the heady play if this comes up again. Late and close with that Lefty Lane due up. Use Fisher. He might be weirdly platoon resistant? Not really a better option right now... As much as I think the Little decision was fine, if you ask him to do it again you enter into a whole sports psychology thing
-
Thought about it more and I'm not even mad at JS. I would even say he is being unfairly slammed by everyone. Seranthony is just bad against LHB. Career trend. Hoffman was a disaster most of the year. Varland has been a HR machine and was already used in the game, effectively. Little has the best Stuff+ of all the full season Jays RP. Best FIP and WAR of all Jays full season RP. Yes he walks tons of hitters but at the rates he does you'd really just expect two outs around one walk, before you can go to Hoffman. You can quote his two month ERA or walk rate but that's stupid and those numbers are noisy. The rationale behind using him was sound enough for me. And arguably the best alternative was Fisher, anyway. Not Hoffman or Seranthony. I know the sample is too small but check out Fisher's splits.

At least we aren't Brewers fans. Embarrassed by the Dodgers and now they are "likely to trade Freddie Peralta"

Win two at home and go to the World Series. Not a bad position. Execute. Get lucky. Win
