Game Thread: Wild Card Game 2

[D-train]

Did you get my pm?

No payment unless you show up for spring training!

Technically you still owe me for the draft contest. Has the statute of limitations passed on that?

Oh yeah that's right. How much?

Still cannot believe what i saw Saturday happened.
especially JP's Bermuda Triangle double - unreal.
couldnt be happier for all of you long-suffering fans in this forum.

It'll be like the '95 NYY series. Lost the first 2 in New York and won 3 must-win elimination games in a row back home in Seattle.

The graphic on the previous page is wrong. It says game 5 would be in Seattle if required. The NYY-CLE series has the same error.

Oh, good to know. Well let's not let it get back to Houston then. I'd love a sweep over the 'Stros!

Don't think they would start Castillo on short rest in case they win they would want him for game 1 vs. the Guardians but he will definitely be available to come in Randy Johnson style if needed.

There's no need to put that much pressure on Gilbert. Plus, I'm not sure what message that sends to potential FA pitchers like Ray to sign with the M's.

Gilbert
Castillo
Kirby
Ray
Gilbert

I'm sorry, but if my guy is pitching like crap, like the game Ray threw, then contract be damned. And he should understand that. The same way Jose Berrios didn't get a start for the Jays after signing that extension

Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned but that was an idiotic play by Springer to dive in there with no chance of making the catch. With the tying run on first if he just plays it on a hop and comes up throwing he holds Frazier at 3B and there's a good chance they hold on from there to win the game.

Not a FA, not a 5 game series.

He probably also holds JP at first and they then pitch to Julio. That would have been fun.

Yep maybe Julio hits a HR but there is about a 65% chance they get him out and then inning ends with the score 9-8.

Then Swanson gets the 9th instead of Kirby. Who knows what happens then.
