This 100%. Playoff baseball is a pressure cooker. It happens. Dude’s gonna get death threats in the coming hours and will have to live with that split-second mental lapse for life. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, truly.

I hate seeing any series be decided on an error because he's gonna get tormented irl for it and athletes shouldn't have to go through that. Kerkering could've given up a walk-off grand slam and it would've been infinitely less scarring, it's a shame.

I need the Mariners to win on Friday, not only for my own obvious, personal reasons, but also because M’s/Blue Jays is the ALCS everyone deserves.

Who do we think starts on Friday for the Mariners?

James Johnston @rollingroofrundown.com · 2d

Mariners fall, 9-3. Game 5 on Friday at T-Mobile Park.

Maybe so, but having one competent lefty is way too easy to manage against. Also doesn’t help matters that the Tigers are seeing the same two relievers over and over again. They have nowhere else to turn at all if either of those two don’t have it.

They needed to add to this bullpen and they really didn’t. Caleb Ferguson was never enough. I will go to my grave believing that.
