We're going to have a Game 7 of the ALCS.
Not happy about it - I think the plucky Mariners have punched above their weight to get this far, but it looks like the pressure is getting to them. Can't see them pulling off another heist.
Would be fucking happy to be proven wrong, but...
Gonna be an intense atmosphere this evening at the local brewery.I was supporting the mariners , love an underdog story ,
But I do think Toronto had a more even spread of talent with their hitting and pitching.
I saw a stat , Seattle bottom 3 batters ( 7,8,9) collectively hit .098 ,
Toronto same hitters hit.284 .I lost count how many times through the series Seattle had runners on base for the bottom of the order to not capitalise , I suspect they need to look at strengthening 2nd base , left field and right field , if they had more hitting from those , they are probably in the WS right now.

A phenomenal 6th inning by the Jays.
-
Going to be an interesting series ,
I was listening to Derek jetter , and he think the dodgers have the best starting pitchers of all the teams but their bullpen is probably just average and thereabouts.
Toronto on the other hand bat really deep , aggressive hitters right through to 9 , the dodgers will be hoping their starters can get on top, throw deep into the game and will be very concerned about having to go to their relief pitchers too early, as we saw what happened yesterday.

The billion dollar man keeps delivering.
This is a good one, top of the 8th and it’s 5-5
-
Now in the bottom of the 13th still tied at 5-5 and bases loaded after intentionally walking Showtime and 2 out.
Out.
We go to a 14th inning.

Amazing
Had to leave it in the 12th.They walked Ohtani 4 times! 5 if you wanna include the don't throw it close walk.
He was walked with none on in the 9th, the first time any one has made that call since 1955, and then they did it three times more.
And Betts is always the batter next up, and he's really f'n good!
Ohtani was on base nine times.
Got picked off stealing tho.Ohtani is starting pitcher tomorrow; or is that to-day . . .
But the Blue Jays are good.
-
@mohikamo Blue Jays have class across the park. It’s going to be a close series unless Showtime really takes over.
Making him walk is the equivalent to the Hack a Shaq - I hate it, but it could be a winning strategy if other things fall into place.
-
Yeah, but its Mookey Betts who is next up!
Risky strategy.I think the series will go all the way.
And if the Dodgers win, there will be no MLB in the 2027 season; you heard that here first. -
Unique game that one , one for the history books.
Going to be interesting to see how both sides back up today after that one, physically and emotionally.
Ohtani throwing today .

I don't think that some of John Schneider's subs helped the Blue Jays as they lost some hitting power. Both teams relief pitching options will be affected for games 4 and 5.
Both sides will be hoping their starters are on point and can throw deep into the game , could possibly be the winning and losing of the game right there .
