  1. Sal almost got put into Milwaukee sports immortality if that ball gets over the wall
  2. First time World Series jitters maybe, kudos to Henderson for buckling down
  3. Rays never really got to relax with a 4 run lead, it’s back to nailbite city
  4. In Mariners fan land this has been the criticism of Dipoto/Dan Wilson. Had their plan before the game even started and refused to adapt. Made the decisions from the “binder” in the dugout, no actual thinking. Easily out-maneuvered by an opposition that can see it coming and adapt accordingly.
  5. Yeah they pitched to Chourio with a base open and an unfavorable matchup in a one run game, then played it off as a “win” because we didn’t see Booser. I think the overall strategy to hold Rasmussen to G2 was smart but they needed to adapt to the game in front of them because stealing game 1 had huge reward potential. Not our problem though.
  6. Their decision to play the binder in game 1 was mostly about optimizing for games 6-7. Games that might not even get played. From our perspective the narrative about seeing our relievers seems weird when we can just roll out our “B” guys and barely lose a step. And seeing Ashby every game hasn’t helped anyone yet.
  7. They could have used Booser for one batter and it likely would have been an extra innings game. They played the binder instead of the winnable game that was right in front of them. Media is giving them the benefit of the doubt right now, but the narrative tomorrow might not be so kind depending on how tonight goes.
  8. In the old days Miz would have gone 7+ IP 115 pitches last night and gutted it out. He didn’t and was still the youngest pitcher to win a World Series game since 1997.
  9. I’m still wired up, lots of good analysis here. Contreras is the most important player in the series because the Rays win by being aggressive and he’s the one who turned that aggressiveness into outs. The dude is on some kind of a mission, playing at a level that few ever reach. 2025 Ohtani level of impact on the game. Cash comments suggest a weird sort of confidence to me — like this is another Cleveland series where they are untroubled by falling behind as long as they have the paper advantage later in the series. The lack of the Booser move suggests they had committed to using low leverage relief — basically a punt game. It’s like the anti-Padres pitching strategy. I’m fascinated by it.
  10. Just something about the resilience of this team. They gutted that out.
  11. Doesn’t matter, he got through the toughest inning where jitters were surely there
  12. This is the outcome that I was betting on when I put all my eggs in the game 7 ticket basket. I can't imagine this series going less than 6 and I suspect it will go 7.
  13. If only. The poor Mariners remain the only team without a WS appearance.
  14. Unanimous for Milwaukee. We beat their darling Dodgers and nobody is going to pick against Miz vs. Martinez.
  15. Yep. I thought there was no way, I figured he was throwing 87 in that bullpen. When we inquired with MLB about his roster eligibility I was like "ok it's higher than 5% but probably still low". When I saw that video of him facing live hitters and the report that he was in the low 90s, I knew it was happening. I'm sure most folks who saw that video had their mental odds bumped up after that.
