Game Thread: Game 1 - ALWCS Seattle @ Toronto - Friday at 4pm ET - ESPN

[ulmax]

Mariners could always go
Boyd...L
Dallard
Gonzales..L.as well..
And
Still trade for snell.

No doubt San Diego would try to scoop up RoDOn..LEFt handed pitcher..

 

[ulmax]

Then there rotation could go

Dervish
RoDOn.....L
Musgrove
gonzales..L
Clevenger

Flexen..????

 

[ulmax]

Jay groom L HP also would figure in
For San diegp..who they traded
.for hosmer...as A Rookie next year

I may go for j ackson wolf in trade LHP
West virgina..
To pull a Tampa and put back into
The system..
And snell..

 

[ulmax]

Sean manaea LHP could resign in San Diego
To make 8...

As the base ball turns...

 

[ulmax]

Gonzales would be a stablizer..for San diego...and flexxen badly needed depth

San Diego has rotation..

Issues.....
...

 

[ulmax]

Bottom line the giants want R oDOn
Back and are willing to.pay him..

But are they going to the playoffs..
Prob not

And San diego...is.and would be willing to pay...
As well..
For a guy with 236 strike outs and best pitcher..in fip in mlb..

A P ossable cy young as soon as they vote

Mariners may have interest..as well..

 

[ulmax]

Round and round on the merry go round

As the baseball turns....

 

[ulmax]

But for know.
..it is...robbie ray..and the mariners
Vs the blue jays..and
Kevin gausman....

But are you going to put him in tomorrow if needed? That is my only concern. If Sewald or Castillo couldn’t hold a 4 run lead then the Mariners are doomed. They can’t run the whole playoffs with Munoz and Brash. And if any type of game I’d want Castillo it would’ve been the 9th with the Jays lineup. We got to remember we got a solid lefty in the pen now with Marco.

Fingers crossed we never are at a point this post season where we even for a second consider bringing in Marco Gonzalez to pitch in the 9th inning to preserve a lead.

edited to add*
Unless the lead is 7+ runs

Will @WizardHawk actually make the game 2 game thread.....

 

[Duders]

Hoping today will be a "KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES LATTER" day for the M's. But, if it doesn't happen today and gets to game 3 that will be all the more exciting for it to happen.

Marco isn't on the roster for this round.

I still say it was the right move. Never play for tomorrow in a 3 game series. Like I said yesterday, those other guys have to come through in the playoffs or we are done anyways. Munoz can't pitch every game. No I don't pitch him in game 2, but I have him ready for game 3 if needed and if not needed it was still the right move.

Game #2 Thread

I hope everyone enjoys this game live. My grandson has a soccer game so I will be on tape delay. I will do my best not to look at a score, but it will be tough.

Go M's!!!!!!

Go Mariners!

 

[Podunkparte]

Gonna have to get Gauzman up in the zone with that splitter.

That TOR pitcher is NOT coming set from the stretch for a complete second or so like the rules state.
He is bouncing in rhythm with some funky little hop / bounce then delivering the pitch to the catcher WITHOUT coming full set which is a BALK.

Servais needs to address this with the umps to at least get inside the pitchers head if nothing else.

I know all the rules of pitching, That IS A BALK FOR CERTAIN.

last strike out pitch to Haniger was a balk for certain. That is some bullshit

Mariners need to address that ASAP

 

[WizardHawk]

We will find out quickly which Ray we have today
