    It's the calm before the storm right now. If we pick up some wins early in the series and can start to taste the pennant, it's going to be intense. The national commentators can babble on all they want but these teams are closely matched in overall talent despite different strengths/weaknesses. When it comes down to the moments that matter I think our guys are going to want it more. Brewers in 7.

    That was how I expected the Mariners to win at home, not in Toronto. The Jays have their work cut out for them now.

    Game 1: Mariners at Blue Jays; Sunday, Oct. 12 (8:03 p.m. ET, FOX/FS1) Game 2: Mariners at Blue Jays; Monday, Oct. 13 (5:03 p.m. ET, FOX/FS1) Game 3: Blue Jays at Mariners, Wednesday, Oct. 15 (TBD, FOX/FS1) Game 4: Blue Jays at Mariners, Thursday, Oct. 16 (TBD, FOX/FS1) Game 5: Blue Jays at Mariners, Friday, Oct. 17 (TBD, FOX/FS1)* Game 6: Mariners at Blue Jays; Sunday, Oct. 19 (TBD, FOX/FS1)* Game 7: Mariners at Blue Jays; Monday, Oct. 20 (TBD, FOX/FS1)* Some consider Toronto the AL version of the Brewers given their contact heavy offense and success despite low expectations. Their splitter-heavy pitching staff gave the Yankees trouble. Seattle is the only MLB team to never win a pennant. They have a power heavy offense and deep rotation, a formula that is optimal for winning at their home ballpark. Both teams are known for their star power (Springer/Guerrero and Raleigh/Rodriguez) and both play very well at home. On paper the Blue Jays are better positioned to take an upper hand early in the series with Seattle forced to scramble together pitching after using all three of their top starters in game 5 of the ALDS. But Seattle has an x-factor in all-star Bryan Woo, who is expected to make the roster and start in the middle of the series. Bo Bichette is officially out for Toronto. Prediction? Mariners in 7. In a long series the Mariners’ pitching advantage should eventually win out. But this will probably come down to which team gets the best performance out of their stars.

    Two of our best teams in the past decade were derailed by closer meltdowns (maybe a third if you count the wall incident). Can’t say enough about how critical it was that Uribe took the unnecessary drama out of the late innings.

    So proud of this team. No matter what happens we can look back fondly on what this group accomplished in a year that nobody expected them to do anything.

    There’s more money in the Big Ten than the SEC now.

    It was a real drain to maintain that intensity level for 5 hours. More relief than anything else at the end. I suspect that game was more fun to watch as a neutral fan than with a rooting interest.
  8. owbc
    I can’t believe I experienced that in person. Milwaukee deserves a celebration like the one happening in Seattle tonight.

    It's what we all feared as soon as soon as the playoff bracket was set. And then when the series was set. And now even more so that we're starting it in the face. All I can say is that I remember going to Cubs/Brewers games in the mid-2000s when they stomped all over us with the crowd at Miller Park being 90%+ Cubs fans. At that time the thought of getting a game like this would have been beyond the wildest dreams of any of us. It's what we live for as sports fans, to have the opportunity right in front of us to win a single game that could very likely go down as the greatest triumph in franchise history. With the fact that the series nearly slipped away making it all the sweeter. There could be a moment in this game that we'll be talking about for the rest of our lives. The tradeoff is that to fully experience the triumph we have to open ourselves up to the vulnerability of losing the game and that vision that we all have of CC with his giant smirk having erased every embarrassing moment that we have dealt him since he signed that contract. So let's play the game.

    I'm sick of giving up early runs. I want to open with a fireballer. Two innings of Uribe would be great. Miz absolutely has to pitch. The kid has a great career ahead of him. Think about what he might accomplish in his career if he avoids injury and gets some experience under his belt. Then think about how we'll feel about this game 5 years from now if he doesn't pitch and we lose. I'd rather go down tomorrow knowing that we put our best arm out there. But I also don't want him to get too jacked up, which is why if I was Murphy I wouldn't even tell him if he is pitching or not, just to "be ready". Wait until the second inning to tell him he's pitching the third.

    My parents are flying out to Seattle today so I'm excited to watch this one with my dad. We watched the Bucks win the championship when he was out here so I'm hoping for similar vibes tonight.
  13. owbc
    I trust that our ace will deliver. Win today, don't let it come down to one game if we can avoid it. The Cubs also have to cover 9 innings today and 9 in a potential game 5.
  14. owbc
    All 4 teams that had a chance to advance failed on their first attempt. The Blue Jays succeeded on their second attempt. The rest of the series are TBD.
  15. owbc
    They have the advantage of being at home again where runs are at a premium. So odds are it will come down to the bullpens again, where they have the theoretical advantage (although that certainly wasn't the case in game 4).
  16. owbc
    I still think there's a 50% chance we win, as I did a few innings ago.
  17. owbc
    Blew it by him
  18. owbc
    The pressure is on them to hold this.
  19. owbc
    Timeout issued
  20. owbc
    I think we have at least a 50% chance of coming back and winning.
  21. owbc
    So far the moral of the story in MLB in the past 24 hours is that getting the third and final win in the division series is easier said than done.
  22. owbc
    Two different pitching strategies on display here after both starters pitched well through 3 IP... Tigers go to the bullpen and have to use a high leverage arm to get out of a mess. Mariners will likely stick with Miller for now.
  23. owbc
    Ha, not surprising. Can’t say they aren’t putting all their chips on the table to wrap this up in 3.
  24. owbc
    With the Bears they can mostly just look in the mirror. The Cubs are at least a decently competent organization, but the Brewers have almost single handedly prevented them from taking advantage of the Cardinals finally being mediocre. And you know it drives them crazy that it's a small market who they should be dominating because of their supposed superiority.

    I think you have to get Chourio's bat in the lineup. I get nervous about him fielding. I dream about the possibility of getting 4 days off.
