This is what $325,000,000 gets you. $182mil from the last guy. $137mil from the next guy, $700mil from the game 4 starter.

caulfield12 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 9 minutes ago, nrockway said: Dodgers are a titan. Their starting pitching is healthy and simply too good. This Brewers offense is none too good to boot. I think the only way the Dodgers don't win the World Series is if the Blue Jays pull it out and their bats catch on fire. It could happen. Seattle and Milwaukee's pedestrian bats aren't getting the job done. I don't think the Jays are a better team that Seattle or the Dodgers, but they can get hot in an instant. The top 6-7 of the Mariners have more power, but Arozarena and Suarez haven't been going well... And Safeco has been the loudest stadium so far this postseason...fans stood and cheered the entire game. And the M's have the pitching advantage. Toronto has Yesavage (rookie with only 4-5 starts) and Bieber after Gausman. Berrios and Bassitt figure more into regular season records.

That's over $70 million on the pen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I think the idea is that the Jays can simply pop off 10+ runs at a moment's notice in a 7 game series. Low probability, but that's the MLB playoffs. The Dodgers have also gotten very little from the top part of the lineup and I don't think you can expect that to stay the same. Ohtani has been dreadful the last two series and he's too good to stay that way. I just don't see any team beating them unless something wild happens.

These pitchers brought out the worst in us.” Said Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who caught both gems: “The last two nights have been impressive. It's probably the two best back-to-back games pitched ever that I've seen.” The dominance of this Dodgers duo so far in the postseason has drawn high praise, and deservedly so. They even left another Dodgers arm, one very familiar with greatness on the mound, in awe. “With him and Snell both, multiple pitches wherever they want to in the zone,” Clayton Kershaw said after Game 2. “That's really hard to cover. You can't cover [Yamamoto's] split, curveball, sinker, cutter, four-seam. You just can't cover all of that. And the same with Blake last night, you can't cover his changeup, slider, curveball, fastball when he's putting it wherever he wants to. yahoo sports Edited October 15 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I haven’t watched any full games, but it seems like the Dodgers are rolling through the playoffs despite not exactly dominating.

caulfield12 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Mariners ALCS tickets go through the roof... "But if you want to see any of the games play out in person, it will cost you. On the official MLB website, both games three and four are currently listed as sold out. If you want tickets to these highly anticipated games, you'll need to go to secondhand sites to try and get yourself a seat in the ballpark. Resale tickets were spotted ranging from a couple hundred dollars to tens of thousands. The cheapest resale tickets KOMO News found as of publishing this story were $276. Meanwhile, choice seats for games 3 and 4 were going on resale for up to $11,000!" komo news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 (edited) 3. Can the Seattle crowd make its presence felt? As you may have heard, the Mariners have never been to a World Series, and they won two games in the ALCS only three times: in 1995, in 2000 and … right here, right now in 2025. Which is to say that their next win will be their new zenith as a franchise. The crowd at T-Mobile Park has been one of the biggest stories of this whole postseason, a nightly cavalcade of noise, joy and tears, one we saw most recently celebrating a 15-inning, series-clinching victory. Since that game, the Mariners have gone up 2-0, on the road, and now just need to win two of their next five to at last remove that “only team never to reach a World Series” designation that has plagued them for 24 years now. That’s to say: This Seattle crowd is going to welcome them home with noise like they have never heard before. mlb.com Edited October 15 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 The Tigers and Mariners delivered a classic on the field and an outsized audience on television as nearly nine million viewers watched their marathon Game 5. Friday’s Tigers-Mariners American League Division Series Game 5 averaged a Nielsen-estimated audience of 8.59 million viewers on FOX (8.73M across all Fox platforms, per Nielsen and Adobe Analytics), marking the largest audience for any Division Series game since Tigers-Yankees Game 5 on TBS in 2011 (9.72M). Seattle’s marathon win increased 17 percent over last year’s seemingly higher-profile Dodgers-Padres Game 5, which aired in the same Friday night FOX window and averaged 7.3 million. sportsmediawatch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure...but the Dodgers only gave up 3.34 total runs per game (earned and unearned) over their final 41 games. 12 times out of 41 they allowed five or more runs...but I'm sure the majority of those starts were not Snell Yamamoto Ohtani and Glasnow. All four of those starters would be chosen by other teams over Kevin Gausman, Toronto's #1, at this point in the season. And Yesavage just got rocked his last start and seems to be affected now by social media critcism/heat directed at his family and friends. Anything is possible...but that LA lineup hasn't been close to firing on all cylinders in the postseason as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
