Maybe. But if they want to gamble on avoiding a three or four way tie that's certainly a risk.Not if the Sox don't win today. :-/
Edit: Though if it's Wacha it may not matter.

Presumably if he's going to pitch, it's only to avoid the tiebreak game. Which the Red Sox outcome today doesn't change that unless you think the Orioles are going to rally down 8-1.Not if the Sox don't win today. :-/
Wonder if they are hoping the Rays rest players. I 100% believe Toronto will win tomorrow so you really do need to win to avoid the tiebreak. Same goes for the Red Sox.It’s Taillon apparently. Not much confidence in Wacha but you never know.
As has been mentioned though, with 28 man rosters instead of 40, you can only rest so many.Wonder if they are hoping the Rays rest players. I 100% believe Toronto will win tomorrow so you really do need to win to avoid the tiebreak. Same goes for the Red Sox.
For sure most of their starters will play. But where it shows is that Cash won't overuse relievers or whatever in a desperate attempt to get a win. But Wacha and the position players in the game will all try hard for sure.As has been mentioned though, with 28 man rosters instead of 40, you can only rest so many.
VORPSpeed says that Cash's plan for the weekend was to give the starters 3 innings just to keep them fresh, then bullpen it the rest of the wayFor sure most of their starters will play.

And then Flexen just got totally screwed on a pitch well inside the zone, which led to an infield single, first and second, 1 out, and him getting pulled.Kelenick (sp?) just got screwed on a 3-2 count with runners at the corners and 2 outs.
Not particularly close pitch called a strike.
Totally, that would be pretty brutal.The Giants could lose tomorrow and not win the west which they led essentially all season. They then could lose the playoff to LA on Monday, and lose the WC game to St. Louis on Tuesday. 106 wins and it could be over that fast. Brutal.
In the divisional era, yes. The 1909 Cubs and 1942 Dodgers each won 104 (in 154 game seasons) and missed out. The 1954 Yankees won 103 and finished 8 back of Cleveland.I believe the '93 Giants hold the record for most wins without making the playoffs of any MLB team.
Good call, I should have scrolled down further.In the divisional era, yes. The 1909 Cubs and 1942 Dodgers each won 104 (in 154 game seasons) and missed out. The 1954 Yankees won 103 and finished 8 back of Cleveland.
Honesty, I'm not sure it helps the Sox much if they lose. I feel like the Jays are a pretty good bet to win tomorrow. Which means that if the Sox win, they're in, and if the Sox lose, they're probably playing a one-game playoff regardless. So the only thing the Mariners could change would be who and where the Sox play in a one-game playoff.I find it impossible to root against these Mariners and their fans.
The stadium that should be called Safeco is packed and the fans are LOUD and thrilled to be watching a relevant team this late in the season. Good for them.
Walsh might have just ended their season. Rough.Just sickening for Seattle.
GOAT BUNT BABY YEAHHHHHSims loves the bunt. Biggest bunt of the year.
We in the PMW have had to endure Sims for what seems like eternity.This Mariners announcer is fucking brutal
I’ve never listened to him before. He’s worse than Hawk.I want the Ms to win, but Sims makes it tough.
