ALCS Game 2 - Seattle Mariners @ Toronto Blue Jays, Monday October 13, 2025, 5:03 PM

I would like our bullpen to stop giving up piss missiles as soon as they come in lol

[linery88]

Fisher,Fluharty,Lauer,all better than what has been brought in before.Varland ok,but he has now been overused,and needs a couple days off at least.

[brwnman]

Jays bring in their best reliever when they are down 7-3. NIce.

Hopefully Varland is ready for Game 3. He'll be the first reliever they call, no doubt.

Hopefully in a very critical situation just like tonight.

[Madvillainy2004]

Varsho probably shouldve caught that but it was absolutely smoked and had a xBA of like .770 lol wasnt an easy play but his routes today haven't been crisp

Varsho certainly hasn't made good reads tonight
But he has also.saved the team a ton of runs defensively thru the year.

Also gave up a ton of runs with his arm this year.

You can look up the stats to show this isnt true lol but go off

[Madvillainy2004]

Varsho miss-reading a tattooed liner off the wall is not the reason were losing this game lol

If bichette was in nothing would have changed

Analytics bros are calling all the shots.

Varland will start game 4

Unless I guess we want to throw Scherzer in the elimination game, which would be absurd

Varland will pitch high leverage in Game 3, high leverage in Game 4, and then high leverage in every other game after that, if necessary.

A career .294+ hitter makes a difference.

If they were today, Trey never even starts the 5th inning

So much of baseball is just luck.

Won’t be necessary if what you say is true about Game 3 and 4.

[Randle McMurphy]

If we aren’t using Chris Bassitt today in this kind of deficit, they’re probably saving him to start game 4 btw

[linery88]

Curious,do we ever win with eddings at HP ?

Kept track for a while, I think it was 8 in a span of 2 weeks. You can look through the Varsho/moreno thread.

Well, in statistics, this requires an understanding of probability theory.

[linery88]

No luck for us.

[dchoye]

Blue Jays getting outplayed by Mariners.
Simple as that.

[dh_45]

Maybe the jays ate too much turkey

[brwnman]

Varsho miss-reading a tattooed liner off the wall is not the reason were losing this game lol

No, just contributing to it.

That’s why saying Vlad is the reason they lost both games remains the most ridiculous thing that’ll be said about this series.
