I would like it if we could separate these threads going forward. It's confusing hearing about two games at once.
I am going to start a thread for tonight's game all by itself.

The ones going to Illinois are going to be stuck in traffic for 90 minutes anywaysYeah- it’s a playoff game and 4.30 on a Friday….maybe stay an extra 15 minutes.
Kind of hoping for a Cardinal comeback after watching that, LOLThe ones going to Illinois are going to be stuck in traffic for 90 minutes anyways
I have decided to root hardest for the Guardians. Talk about underdogs: both the youngest and the lowest payroll team. Yes, even lower payroll than the Rays!I think a lot of people will be pulling for the M's & the Padres. Underdog thing. I'm onboard.
Saw something earlier today that said that the last time the youngest team in the league (as the Guardians are) made the post-season was the 1986 Mets. Could be a good omen, especially with the way they handled the moment today.I have decided to root hardest for the Guardians. Talk about underdogs: both the youngest and the lowest payroll team.

Yeah, that's odd. They think he can throw an inning in a potential Game 3 on one day rest? It's not analytics-based, I don't think, because he's gone longer in starts this yearInteresting move to pull Manaoa after just 79 pitches in the 6th, especially with two out and no one on. I get that he's already given up four, but are they saving him for later?
He looks as though he'd have been a perfect acquisition for the Boston Red Sox, no?Luis Castillo was such a perfect acquisition for this team. He's a freaking cyborg.
You'll have to forgive @LogansDad for his split loyalties, especially since it's been so long since those of us in the PNW have seen a Mariners playoff game of any typeHe looks as though he'd have been a perfect acquisition for the Boston Red Sox, no?
Haha, I'm not in the PNW, but have been working for the M's AA team the last two years, so they are a pretty big rooting interest for me.You'll have to forgive @LogansDad for his split loyalties, especially since it's been so long since those of us in the PNW have seen a Mariners playoff game of any type
The Mariners gave up a crazy big package of prospects for him, including their top two prospects. Basically went all in to get him. Not sure the Sox were in a position where it made sense to out-do the M's. But yeah, of course he'd have been great to get.He looks as though he'd have been a perfect acquisition for the Boston Red Sox, no?
The Mariners LOVE JP Crawford, too, so giving up Marte and Arroyo, even though both were basically consensus top 100 guys, doesn't hurt their system as much as it would have with the Sox. I really don't think the Sox had a package that could even come close to that without mortgaging the future.The Mariners gave up a crazy big package of prospects for him, including their top two prospects.

Cabrera did not have much value at the deadline, he’s never been a top 100 prospect and he was bad in AAA to start the year and then out for two months.The team that might really regret letting Castillo get away is the Yankees. Think they could have had him if they gave up both Oswalds. Is Frankie Montas even going to be on the ALDS roster?
Absolutely! any team managed by Tito is hard to cheer against.I have decided to root hardest for the Guardians. Talk about underdogs: both the youngest and the lowest payroll team. Yes, even lower payroll than the Rays!
Sorry I confused Cabrera and Volpe. Yep, I think Volpe was the hangup.Cabrera did not have much value at the deadline, he’s never been a top 100 prospect and he was bad in AAA to start the year and then out for two months.
NY would have had to give up Volpe and maybe Peraza too, they weren’t doing that. Montas came back too soon from his injury and has been a bust but NY’s rotation is still their biggest strength if Cole is actually Cole.
Also it would have been a crime to make Castillo cut his awesome hair because their dead owner thought baseball players should look like soldiers.
It is probably a reference to Springer getting hit on the wrist.Context?
wow, at least three of those guys are dead.Shortest postseason game since 1999:

Well cross them off then.wow, at least three of those guys are dead.
Their issues are their lineup and their bullpen, moving Volpe and Peraza would have created more holes in the future. I love Castillo but once SEA offered Marte, it didn’t make sense for NY to try to outbid.Sorry I confused Cabrera and Volpe. Yep, I think Volpe was the hangup.
Right now that trade has been 1000% worth it for the Mariners. Yanks, we have to see if they win anyways and/or Judge leaves, right?
I think that was a put-together team of Dave Flemming, Giants, Jessica Mendoza, ESPN, and Tim Kurkjian, ESPN.By the way, the Blue Jays have a good broadcast team.
Indeed, but he remained in the game.It is probably a reference to Springer getting hit on the wrist.
I'm watching the Toronto feed. I have no idea who most of these people are, except Buck Martinez.I think that was a put-together team of Dave Flemming, Giants, Jessica Mendoza, ESPN, and Tim Kirkjian, ESPN.
It reminded me of the "Script written by God" game-the Dodgers 6-5 comeback win over the Phils in Game 3 of the 1977 NLCS:I enjoyed that 9th inning in St. Louis a lot.
0-7 I think it would be, 0-2 for TOR and TB (halfway there!) and 0-3 for NY.If I'm going to be honest, its really tough to find a team to root for between the Mets and the Padres.
Also hoping that the AL East teams go a combined 0 - 10 in the playoffs.
You are correct. Been a long day so the internal math module calculated based on two five game series. Glad you're on board with this as well.0-7 I think it would be, 0-2 for TOR and TB (halfway there!) and 0-3 for NY.
Oh, OK. I saw the game on ESPN. I never liked Buck M as an announcer.I'm watching the Toronto feed. I have no idea who most of these people are, except Buck Martinez.
Sorry Jess.Sarah having ALS, fuck man, we never deserved any part of her. She IS the best, to paraphrase.
Always a smile in the studios working with messages and approaches that always conveyed her unbridled enthusiasm of the game. You could always feel that smile in what she says, what she tweets. Always. No matter what. Just an amazingly kind and selfless individual that personally speaking was inspiring. She's one of only two (I'm the other) female researchers for MLB/MLBN (as opposed to like a FOX or ESPN). Eternally thankful for her yet simultaneously distraught.
Fuck ALS. So hard. Lost my favorite teacher from it too.
I was going to tag you after the game and tell you to send her our best regards. That is awful news.Sarah having ALS, fuck man, we never deserved any part of her. She IS the best, to paraphrase.
