  1. Here we go again. Brownie is crying poor when just one of his son’s travel ball budgets exceeds the GDP per capita of most countries on Earth. Just do what the rest of us are doing. Make a completely irrational financial decision and go to the game.
  2. As was mentioned previously, four times has a Game 7 LCS winner faced off against an LCS sweep. All 4 times, the Game 7 winning team won. SSS but hopefully the time off makes the Dodgers rusty and the Jays come out and win the first two before the Dodgers know what hit them.
  3. The World Series will be easy to make (again)
  4. Their offense isn't exactly on fire either. 15 runs in the 4 game sweep of the Brewers. We almost scored that many off of Kirby and the Mariners in Game 3.
  5. That Ed Sprague homer was massive. Jays were down 1-0 in the series and were down by a run entering the 9th inning of Game 2. Pinch hit homer to take the lead and Henke shut them down in the bottom half to win the game. Jays go on to win the World Series in 6 games and all 4 games they won were decided by a single run.
  6. People are way too harsh on Little. It's fair to question if he should be pitching in the 8th inning protecting small leads. But the "He's been bad since X date" numbers are all arbitrary BS. I can play the "since X Date" game too and he's had a 1.86 ERA since September 3. I'd move him down the pecking order but if he finds his release point he could come up huge for us.
  7. Yeah that's what I would do. Might want to go with a 5 man bench to keep IKF and an 8 man bullpen too. I suppose they could drop Loperfido though to keep a 4-man bench.
  8. Bassitt actually looked pretty good out of the pen didn't he lol His fastball was 3 mph faster and had some tail to it That was a crafty move by Schneids
  9. Yeah the offense is scary too but it feels like it's manageable if we pitch well, particularly the back half which consists of Edman, Kike Hernandez, and Pages. If you just kind of eyeball it, it seems like the Yanks and M's lineup are comparable. The Yankees had a higher wRC+ on the season and the Mariners tied with them so that tracks.
  10. I wonder what the plan is for Bo. Might see a 5-man bench with IKF. Some of our relievers don't even make an appearance.
  11. We can beat these guys. The Yankees and Mariners have good rotations and we hammered them. Dodgers bullpen isn't great either. We will be underdogs but I'm seeing -180 right now. That's doable.
  12. I think it's as simple as the Mariners having a lot of high-velo RHP and Davis has shown that he simply cannot hit that stuff. IKF isn't great against high-velo RHP either but he does produce pretty good BAs against it so the hope is he puts the ball in play and can either get you productive outs or a couple of base hits. He's a better fielder and baserunner as well.
  13. This wait is agonizing 4 more hours to go and it feels like it's going to take 40 days until the game starts
  14. Fangraphs has it 52%-48% in favor of the Mariners. Vegas has the Jays as a -135 favorite. Game 7 of the ALCS and this is as close of a matchup as it gets.
  15. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/vladimir-guerrero-jr-s-postseason-for-the-ages/ Vladdy is having one of the greatest postseasons of all-time
  16. Bieber seems to have great vetrin presents which will serve him well tonight. Backs against the wall in Game 3 and he's got 10s of millions on the line in Free Agency. He gave up that early bomb and he comes back into the dugout telling everyone to score some runs because he's going to shut them down from then on. There are plenty more factors than having balls of steel, but in Game 7 that's not going to hurt.
  17. I can't eat, can't sleep, and have extreme anxiety. I close my office door and sit here with the lights off until it's time to head home to watch the games. My boss thinks I have a drug problem.
  18. 2 innings of Munoz definitely looms large in this game and you're right to question Woo. He's only thrown 2 innings since September 19 so it's hard to know what to expect out of him. Hopefully we can threaten Kirby early, they pull him quickly in a big spot for Woo and he blows up due to rust and inexperience.
  19. No that’s absurd. Just because we win 10-1 doesn’t mean we can’t also win 2-1. I guess you stumbled into something somewhat accurate with the bolded part in that the team has a deep bullpen but it doesn’t necessarily have an elite lockdown guy. Varland, Hoffman, SerAnthony and even Little have shown that ability on occasion but they haven’t done it consistently.
  20. Yeah if you are THAT worried about looks then you wouldn’t have used Hoffman last night
  21. Yeah Varland has the stuff that he's just kind of our de facto fireman, whether he deserves it or not. He would have been the best pick there but they had already used him by that point.
