Julio handling Verlander's best fastball first thing it brought to mind was young Miggy beating old Clemens back in the 2003 World Series.

Scherzer  7 ER / 4.67 IP

Manoah  4 / 5.67

Ray  4 / 3

Fried  4 / 3.33

Verlander  6 / 4

Five aces, 10.89 ERA (25 ER / 20.67 IP)

Oh Trey..

Reason 37 October is wonderful - the reigning AL Cy Young is coming in as a LOOGY for the 27th out with Yordan coming up as the winning run.

Well that didn’t work out did it?

What an absolute BOMB from Alvarez to walk it off. Really hope we can recruit/produce LatAm players one day.

[LA2]

After failing in his start vs. the Blue Jays, Ray comes in and serves up his third homer in three post-season innings: a walk-off 3-run shot to preeminent Astros threat Alvarez in a game joyous Seattle once led 6-2, then 7-3, after knocking Verlander out.

Looking at their roster, Mariners' bullpen seems very vulnerable.

What a wild October it's already been--much excitement to follow, for sure.

Almost a cool 100 million in salary this year for this group of “aces” lol 

[tntoriole]

Man, that ball hit by Alvarez was completely obliterated !!! 

[Just Regular]

Postgame show said it was for the first Loss-to-Win October walkoff since Kirk Gibson.

116.7 on the shot - all 2022, just 12 batters (one of whom was Yordan) attained 116.7.

Yeah Steven Kwan!   Take it to the Yankees!

[Just Regular]

Where's Jeffrey Maier when you need him?

[bpilktree]

I sure hope we don’t sign Clevenger.  It the first inning and I can’t handle him taking forever.  Throw the dang ball and stop dancing out there.
