[Glasgow Seahawk]

Feel like i just went 15 rounds with mike tyson. Can't believe they play on Sunday again. Who do they even pitch? Woo?

 

[Gametime]

My Fitbit liked it. Hit my heart rate zone for the week drinking beer in my living room. I am starting a new workout program if interested. It’s called “6 hour Mariners”. It’s a full body experience that leaves you drunk and tired but somehow healthier.

 

[AROS]

Hell of a game! I don’t know how you diehard M’s fans aren’t all on blood pressure medication. I’m a total casual bandwagon M’s fan and even I was Mr. Sweaty Palms for hours on end.

Welcome back to the ALCS M’s after nearly a quarter century! I’m genuinely super happy for all you true diehard M’s fans!

Go Mariners!!

[AROS]

And I thought Seahawks games were stressful.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

I went to the game, what a weird experience.

[FrodosFinger]

Tigers get bent over in 15. M’s on to the ALCS

 

[SoulfishHawk]

LFG!!!

 

[AROS]

I apologize if this isn’t the time or place to discuss but what’s the skinny on the Blue Jays? Give it to me in NFL terms. What kind of opponent are they about to face?

 

[Atradees]

Blue Jay's just put down the Yankees. They will be tough.

The ALCS is set! Odds, X factors and how the Mariners and Blue Jays can reach the World Series

It's the AL's top two seeds for a trip to the Fall Classic. Here's your first look at how Seattle and Toronto stack up.

www.espn.com

Here is a nice preview. Toronto and Seattle were both 77 expansion franchises. Much like Seattle and Tampa Bay. It should be a battle.

 

[Cyrus12]

Congrats! Can't wait to see 80 percent blue jay fans in Seattle. i might be one of them. Seattle sports fans are sellouts so expect a sea of blue...

If I had to guess, I'd say that we'll start Bryce Miller on 4 days' rest, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Wilson roll the dice and hand the ball to Bryan Woo. It would be the perfect place for him to come to the rescue, with the pitching staff being stressed over the course of a 15-inning game and a long flight to the next venue. Emerson Hancock is another option.

Castillo only threw 15 pitches last night, so he should be good to go for Monday's game.

 

[Ruminator]

Thanks for staying awake with me. A few people are gonna be bummed they missed it.

Not at all bummed. Here on the east coast, glad I retired for the night in the 12th and got to wake up to tons of delicious media which I'm now savoring over coffee. There is puhLENTY of media available. Sweet way to start my morning!

 

[Steve Hawk]

Cal Raleigh has a batting average of .274 with 23 hits, 10 homers, 20 RBIs and 17 runs scored in 24 games against the Blue Jays in his career.

Game 5 was definitely a battle of top-tier pitchers. Interesting bit from an mlb.com write-up:

All told, the teams used five accomplished starters in the game: George Kirby, Gilbert and Castillo for the Mariners, plus Skubal and Flaherty for the Tigers. That quartet includes four All-Stars and five pitchers who have received Cy Young Award votes, including 2024 AL winner Skubal.

Then there’s Troy Melton, a Tigers rookie who both started and relieved this year. He started Game 1 for the Tigers and then added a scoreless relief inning in Game 5, bringing the total to four pitchers who appeared out of the bullpen on Friday after starting a game earlier in the series.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that had not happened in the postseason since Game 7 of the 1952 World Series, when the Yankees (Allie Reynolds, Vic Raschi) beat the Dodgers (Preacher Roe, Carl Erskine).

This is probably about the most incredible catcher-to-2B throw-out I've ever seen:
