Last night felt like a game they were Going to win, even when down 6-2.  They kept fighting and I think the biggest may have been the Stewart homer.  Making the game 6-4 early on just felt like the team knew they could chip away.

Now we know you are trolling when you say DJ did something useful.  ?

The first time I thought they'd win it was... in the 9th inning - when Wells came in there looking like a real closer.  And some day, he might come in - in a closing situation - what a concept.      

He looked good.  Stuff looks really good.  I have a hard time imagining them making him a starter next year at this point.

Mullins had the tone setter.  First pitch off Ohtani, that was awesome.  The Stewart homer was awesome, too, but I think Mullins set the tone that they weren't going to lay down for Ohtani.

To be fair, Ohtani didn't have his best stuff.  Hit 97 a few times, was sitting around 93-94.

In before Wynns and Mancini are banned from the stadium until first pitch.

According to The Athletic, they were trying to figure out a way to change the mojo. Wynns came up with the idea of saging the stadium and had some overnighted. He and Mancini took about 15 minutes walking around slowly saging everything they could think of. Mullins was in the batting cage and smelt it and saw Mancini and said, “Smart man.”  Hyde smelt it in the clubhouse and asked if they were smoking different kinds of cigarettes.

    • Yes my mistake I thought those were eligible. They may be eligible after winter meetings. Manfred seems to like the idea of making more picks available for trade.
    • I always compare where we are in attendance to payroll. As it stands our attendance will be 19th in the league and payroll 22nd. The Twins are at 19th with 130 million dollar payroll which is 22 million higher than ours. I expect the Nats and Tigers to spend a little this offseason so that 130 million mark for 19th place may move closer to 140. Still gives this team 50-60 million to spend on either resigning guys or free agents.
    • Well, the changes to the flex plans this year led both me ($1200 plan) and my friend ($2500 plan) to not renew for next year. The decision to more severely limit playoff presale access and dramatically reduce the discount on food and drinks at the park just didn’t make it worth it to tie up that much money in advance. So, we’ll likely go to far fewer games next year. Given the press reports and online reaction, I have to think we weren’t alone in our decision making. 
    • Rivera and Soto are hitting.   Holliday and Mayo are not.
    • Holliday could fill the role of pinch runner that Mateo would fill. 
    • Yeah. I don’t get that either. SEA would win head to head tie with HOU and push HOU into WC race but it’s irrelevant if the loses don’t match.  
    • Regardless of how down I've been about their recent play, there's always been some hope. Getting some guys back in time for the post season will definitely help.    The way this team has been built requires a group effort. I mean,  Gunnar is a huge star, but the lineup when healthy can be competitive top to bottom. I'm not knocking NY here, but if you can eliminate Judge(almost impossible), you stand a chance vs them. I'm not implying that they will go on a deep run because we've seen how bad it can be, but simply saying that getting healthy and having a shot is the best we as fans could have hoped for with the way this season has gone.
