I imagine for an impartial observer, it was great baseball. But as a Mariners fan, one was enough.

This inning is what it would look like if the Tacoma Rainiers made the ALCS.

I'm having Showalter/Britton flashbacks.

Is there a Game 8 I don't know about?

Eric Vickrey @ericvickrey.bsky.social · 5d

First guessing. I'd bring in Munoz here.

Good call. Balboni had a whopping one career stolen base. He was no Josh Naylor.

JP channeling Ozzie Smith there.

Is this is a tribute to the last song on DMB's Under the Table and Dreaming?

Vladdy Jr. pulled up to ALCS Game 7 in a Maple Leafs jersey 👀

Two screenshots from a video of Vladdy Jr. walking into Rogers Centre. He's wearing a Auston Matthews No. 34 Maple Leafs jersey.

There have been 326 no-hitters in MLB history. By contrast, there have only been 59 game sevens, none of which have involved the Mariners.

The Dodgers made the Brewers look like the Washington Generals.

Ironically, when Dipoto made his infamous 54 percent comment two years ago, the Cardinals were an example of a team the M's were trying to emulate in terms of consistency. At the time, STL was one of five clubs that had won 54 percent or more of its games over the previous decade.

4-6-3 double plays are so passé.

They say you can see something brand new every day at the park, but they don’t usually mean *that*.

Me in a bowl haircut standing awkwardly behind Don Drysdale is a perfect summation of my childhood.

Jorge Polanco with the 15th walk-off hit in a winner-take-all game in postseason history

17th walk-off win in a winner-take-all game overall

INCREDIBLY … the only other ALDS winner-take-all walk-off win?

Edgar’s double

Amazing. I'll definitely keep an eye out for one of those on the secondary market. Thanks for sharing!
