Game Thread: Wild Card Game 1

[Coeurd’Alene J]

Easy Trip for me. Mike drove all the way up to Abbottsford to fly here...

Abbottsford BC?

Yep.

That’s a long trip

Yeah, finally I benefitted from living in Boston. Left for the Airport at 5am and was at my hotel at 9am.

Pitch Ray, hopefully they win, and can go with Gilbert Game 1 of the wildcard, then Castillo game 2..

Yes game two isn't until Thursday so I'm glad they maxed out Castillo tonight.

Game 2 is Thursday? Is Game 1 Tuesday?

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

We waited 21 years and got rewarded with a SHUT. OUT. Like I said earlier, a lot of times you're only as good as the opposing pitcher. Castillo and Munoz total money today.

Fingers crossed for good Robbie Ray tomorrow...

I predict a vodka shortage in Toronto

LOL had to walk 20 minutes round trip to the State sponsored liquor start and then wait in like for 15 minutes. Hotel is 3 blocks from the ball park and it took as and hour to get back!!!

You should have had some left over Crown

best game ever!

Castillo dominated a top notch line up. He even revenge plunked one of their stars after two to our own.

4-0

Pretty nice having an ace don't you say boys

Thumbs up x 100......however, I'm already nervous about Ray going tomorrow.....he's definitely not an ace

One good thing about Ray is that last season in Toronto he had splits of 2.58 ERA in Toronto compared to 3.16 ERA on the road.

A .622 OPS against him in Toronto, a .721 OPS against him in Away games.

He likes pitching in Toronto, I think things look in our favor!

Not sure if all youse guys saw this tidbit, but I'd bet Ray springs back to Cy Young performance in Game 2

This season he has had a 3.02 ERA at T-Mobile and 4.69 ERA on the road.

Guess we'll see how comfortable he actually is at the Rogers Centre

So pleased for Darren and Mike getting to see that game last night. You both deserved to see that stunning performance and hope they can finish it off tonight.

I am well chuffed for you both.
