Mariners - because they’ve never been to the World Series, not because I have anything against the Tigers.

The only good thing about having your team miss the playoffs is the way it obviates what would otherwise have been a near nervous breakdown of anxiety over how your team will do in the playoffs. (Thanks, 2025 Mets!)

Hang in there and good luck tonight

My. God.

It’s going to be painful seeing him wearing another team’s jersey.

Risa @risamish.bsky.social · 1d

I definitely feel for him. Yes, I’m a Mets fan, but I don’t wish a game-ending error on any player. I’m so glad the veterans on the team supported him and stood up for him. That speaks well of them and of the team culture.

It still brings a tear to the eye.

Just finished first two seasons and am loving it so far. One must suspend one’s disbelief fairly often, but it’s still enjoyable because Gary Oldman is having the time of his life in the lead role.

That looks … uncomfortable. Wishing you a speedy recovery and The Right Teams wining tonight ;-)

YES. The vibes were off all season. I think it was awkward between Lindor and Soto in terms of leadership for awhile. Soto is a bigger “star” but he was new. Meanwhile, Lindor was trying to be welcoming and accommodating. If the brass had made him captain sooner there would’ve been less ambiguity.

Together with the Alonso throw to Senga that injured/re-injured his hamstring, from which he never properly healed.

This is the answer.

It sounds insane to say this about a team with the highest payroll in baseball, but: we have a LOT of holes. Like everyone, we need more pitching, but we also need folks who hit for avg (& w/RISP) and reliably field their position. Look at the batting stats. And the errors….

I think the poster means the first time both teams hit either a 3-run OR a grand slam in the first inning?

Risa @risamish.bsky.social · 5d

Underrated, if anachronistic, reply. 👏👏👏

I said this when Mets fans did it (so I’m consistent): I hate it when fans boo their own team.
