Welcome to #ALCS Game 7! Mariners unfortunately take first scoring run but then Naylor intentionally jumps at the ball to interfere on a play and gets his team out. I love October baseball

for the third time in a row, the seattle mariners have triggered the blue jays 'come from behind win' effect

it's gotta be said the mariners relievers are true gentlemen, always walking people home

here's hoping george kirby's grandmother had a great meatball recipe to pass down, because i think he's gonna be serving them hot and fresh at the toronto skydome tonight folks

According to Sportsnet, no post-season game has ever seen a team ground into a double play with the bases loaded in back to back innings. Tonight, the Mariners grounded into back-to-back bases-loaded, inning-ending double plays (3rd & 4th).

Sportsnet, "Blue Jays escape bases-loaded jam in back-to-back innings": sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-

They also hit into back-to-back-to-back inning-ending double plays (3rd, 4th, & 5th), which was fun to watch, but IDK if that's a record or not.

george kirby starting game 7 for the mariners.....interesting

if the mariners have a guy hit the ball who can bat with either hand is that a nintendo switch hitter...

it's an hour later and i'm still angry at mariners fans being happy about springer getting hit like that, just because he supposedly cheated with the astros, forgetting the fact that 1: he was one of the only people to publicly apologize for it and acknowledge it and 2: he evidently wasn't very involved considering his stats didn't drop off a cliff when the cheating stopped, it's like finding out a kid got hit with a truck and saying he deserved it because his friends cheated at a maths test

it is important to remember that we are only one game down, and that the seattle mariners are a team without honor, they will fall in battle and their souls are certainly bound for gre'thor

i'm sure brendon little is a nice guy off the field but jesus christ a 10 year old could have hit a home run off that pitch

normally i'd say hey, we can come back from a 4 run defecit, but apparently the mariners genuinely hate springer so much they'd intentionally try to hospitalize our best hitter

Show thread

if hoffman had gone in first in the 8th this would have been a 1 run game for the jays and we'd have avenged the hit job on springer, god damn it

Nothing soothes my mood more than an Alejandro Kirk home run

good lord george kirby looks so distraught in the dugout, i can imagine how hard it is to be so good all season and then give up seven runs over 5, ouch

Fun fact, 100% of Canadian MLB teams made the playoffs this year. As opposed to only 3 of 29 ignoring the wildcard round for US teams. Bad showing by US teams really, maybe they should just pack it in and concede that Canadians are better at baseball.

It really sucks that because of current us politics we can't have a normal baseball world series for the blue jays, any team that knocks the sole Canadian team out of the playoffs is going to be celebrated by a bunch of right wingers and trump supporters. The "51st state" nonsense has already been disgustingly present on gameday threads every time the bluejays play a US team
