I think he was on the roster for the Guardians series but left off for the ALDS

To have his career resurrected with Seattle, and to be such a big part of the 2022 playoff team, then traded and go through what he has since, and THEN have a front-row seat to see the M's get to the ALCS without him -- just brutal.

Man, poor Paul Sewald. This shot of him watching the Mariners celebrate just broke me.

One (1) run in any of the last six innings would have ended this game.

Extra innings. Winner-take-all game. Tall All-Star starting pitcher coming out of the bullpen.

Lining up just like in Little Big League.

The #Mariners won that one.

Mariners better be readier than ready to get Muñoz out of there at the very very very first sign of trouble because the eighth was woof.

I love that Leo Rivas is just in a do-or-die playoff game as the DH in the late innings and we're all like GOOD

Tarik Skubal is out of the game. And it's tied.

It's now the #Mariners bullpen against the Tigers.

Similar thing happened with the Robbie Ray-Yordan Alvarez AB, just with a different pitch. The decision was we want the sinker from a lefty. And then he missed with it.

Leave him in. Take him out.

I don't really care.

Don't try to go right at Kerry Carpenter with fastballs. That's the story.

All the credit to Kerry Carpenter, but Javier Báez deserves a lot too. Postseason gamer. Set the stage. Put the pressure on the Mariners to make a move.

Difficulty was too high this time. Ouch.

This series is like playing the same level in a video game over and over at different difficulties.

OK Mariners, now face Kerry Carpenter with a one-run lead... and there's no outs and a runner on second this time!

When he's in a good place at the plate, there's really no one better at guessing. He's streaky like that.

Skubal has to be so frustrated. 11 strikeouts but losing because of a check-swing double, steal -- by a really slow guy -- and sac fly.

Julio struck out again but he made Skubal throw 6 to get it.

1. That was a PERFECT throw by Cal.

2. Absolutely HUGE out. Tigers *were* one batter closer to getting Kerry Carpenter up again and probably getting George Kirby out of this game than they are now.

Skubal started the third inning with two more pitches than Kirby has through three.

The TV ratings in Seattle of UW-Rutgers football tonight on FS1 are going to be fascinating.

Just chuckled to myself thinking about the look Josh Naylor would give any producer trying to hit him up for an in-game interview
