ALCS Game 1 - Seattle Mariners @ Toronto Blue Jays, Sunday October 12, 2025, 8:03 PM

[Natural11]

Scrub manager has learned nothing from his past playoff mistakes. Gausman in the 6th on 70 pitches while dealing is by far our best option over anyone in the pen.

Yeah the offense was ****, but who knows what happens if it stays a tie game. Maybe it turns into a 9+ inning grinder and we walk it off.

Same ****, different playoffs. They forget what works and what got them to the playoffs in the first place.

Gausman threw the worst pitch of his entire season at the worst possible time (really an unforgivable mistake given who the hitter was) and then walked the next batter.

He had his shot to finish that inning and blew it completely. Loss wasn’t on the manager.

Loss was on the batting lineup

But Hotdog had the most obvious mistake that cost us the opponent winning runs.

Someone get me that picture of him clean shaven looking like a buffoon

Loss was on the abysmal offense and Gausman/Little throwing two of the stupidest pitches you’ll ever see in spots that never should have been even close to the plate.

If Gausman wants to stay in there, he really shouldn’t throw the worst pitch of his season to an 60+ HR hitter and then immediately walk Julio on 5 pitches. Not inspiring any faith when you completely lose your command as soon as you hit the 3rd time through the order (repeating a pattern set from his previous start).

I thought about that today, first game with closed roof this postseason

[steveholt]

Should have kept Gausman in. Offense no show in must have game. Mariners pitching is elite and lined up perfectly for them now. Pretty bleak i must say. Chances of winning series are very slim. Unless the offense starts slugging big time which is unlikely against this pitching. Sucks Bo isnt out there. Mariners are the Jays bugaboo. Was a fun season for sure.

Oh well it was a great season thanks Jay's. And when we say "we did it and it's "our team". Not really fans only watch they have no impact on the outcome.

[Michael Bradley]

The Mariners are legitimately a good team. After the trade deadline they were 33-20 (Jays were 30-22). They have issues hitting at home due to the stadium, but are one of the best hitting road teams in the league, have a good bullpen, and good enough rotation (especially if Woo is back). At worst both teams are similar, but you can certainly argue the Mariners have a better all around roster. This is going to be a tough series to win, losing the first game at home isn't going to help.

If only the damn Tigers won that game.

For his career, Raleigh owns a 1.016 OPS against the Blue Jays, with 10 homers in 24 games — not including the four hits he collected in Toronto during the 2022 Wild Card Series.

Crazy stat. He's a Jay's killer.

He’s not very tough to pitch to, right Schneider?

[Hottie McShotty]

Jays offense needs to wake up! Too much partying and champagne drinking. 1 run off a Mariner's starting pitcher who had a 5.16 on the road is unacceptable.

Probably a guy you shouldn’t let beat you in a 1 run lead with 2 outs, nobody on and a 2-2 count

If Jay's have lost Luke's they are done

My take is that I would have left Gausman in to face Polanco. If he doesn't get him out like he walks him, then you know you Gausman definitely has lost it and then you bring Little in with 2 on to face Naylor. I don't like that Little is so wild when he first enters into the ball game - the wild pitch didn't help (and you cant always rely on Kirk's strong blocking ability) and that high probability that Little will get behind on the count, hence ending up with the easy base hit to score the run.

Also I hated that all the relievers got behind 3-0 on the #9 hitter JP crawford. Yes he ended up getting out but stop wasting your pitches and just throw a high heater to him and he'll wack one directly to your infield.
