McStinky has finally figured out how to put his quad-A skills to good use.

Sorry to be That Guy, but these putatively nonpartisan national announcers are totally in the bag for the Mariners.

Man, Raleigh was slow on the draw going after that passed ball. Is he gassed??

OK, on to the eleventh ... I love seeing expectations here thwarted ... 😉

Holy crap Will vest, did we ever need you there! OK, AJ, who's up next? Please let it be Tommy Kahnle with an eight-run lead!

Vest at 32 pitches ... please god don't let him run out of gas ...

Crowd is definitely a factor right now.

Something that looked like a strike for 40 feet.

And the Will Vest strikes out Julio Rodriguez! Talk about coming up BIG! Come on, bats, justify my love!

Cal strikes out! Again! Against a different guy!

Why the **** did they blow a mound visit before Holton even threw a goddam pitch??

That’s because Tucker senses it’s his ox that’s gonna be gored. He doesn’t give a **** about equitable distribution of first amendment protections.

You’re wasting your time. He thinks it’s all hilarious.

Oh, ****ing A, it’s done.

That was an UNBELIEVABLE strike one swing by Big Dumpster!

As do they all. Although it does look more like more effort with Skubal.

Nuh-uh, not me. You.

OK, now Skubal has got to throw nine full and win it.

And if Kirby falters even a little, they have Luis Castillo on full rest to pick up that slack.

Son of a biscuit-eating bulldog! Shut the front door!

Well, something was caught on that throw …

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more perfect caught-stealing throw than the one Cal Raliegh made to get Colt at second.

We’ve been watching this team long enough to know that these guys will suck for five or six or seven innings, like, suck really bad, and then they’ll bust out and score enough runs and win. We’ve also been watching this team long enough to see them suck for a full nine innings and lose. Point being, regardless of how bad these guys look now, it can still go either way, so we are nothing like out of the game yet.

lol Phillies reverse-Caseyed Shohei Ohtani!

I get what you're trying to say, but do you really want to train LHBs to hit LHPs during the playoffs? Forcing a change of course during the postseason doesn't seem to make so much sense, for obvious reasons. And even if we did try to iron out those differences, it might not succeed anyway. And maybe they already have tried and it hasn't worked out so well? And even if they did have some measure of success at improving he performance of LHBs against LHPs, when the rubber meets the road in the playoffs, is forcing a guy who's historically bad against LHPs to hit against them at the defining point of the season the right move? Because if they do that and fail, you know what the blowback against it is going to be, right?
