Huge win in terms of both runs and the context of the ALCS for the Mariners. Delighted for them, and hope they can keep it rolling and wrap things up ASAP.

Lovely double play to end the game there, congrats!

(I cannot get over how bad this ump in the Mariners game is)

I appreciate the Blue Jays for knocking out the hated Yankees but I think the clear optimal postseason outcome at this point is a Mariners v Brewers World Series, in which the teams would combine for zero championships

a team being guaranteed their first title would be pretty fucking cool

Yariel Rodríguez threw 16 pitches tonight but nobody swung at any of them.

Won’t be able to watch it but LET’S GO BREW CREW

Just checked the times and there is maybe 3 games I’ll be able to watch combined from the two CS, alas. West Coast worst coast for timezones.

Sadly no, as I do need to be able to work tomorrow without my head falling on to my desk

Is Bluesky broken? My feed is not refreshing.

Danielle Blake @abradacabla.bsky.social · 6h

It’s had everything as well: multiple multi-run homers, an initial impression of it being a close fought game before it suddenly becomes a blowout, silly challenges, a counterproductive IBB, awful, awful umpiring.

It turns out this was actually fitting as this baseball game also involves some thoroughly cooked birds

Danielle Blake @abradacabla.bsky.social · 6h

Why am I watching these commentators carve up a turkey

Danielle Blake @abradacabla.bsky.social · 6h

Naylor homer! The Mariners are just marmalising the Blue Jays at this point, Jesus.

You could well end up being top in postseason dingers at this rate

They 100 percent cooked that entire turkey on the hot dog rollers in the press box.

People don’t want to hear this but the principle consequence of making I-P an omnicause is the creation of a million new antisemites who, as a nice bonus, are unequipped to address any other issue sensibly.

Wanting more housing is apparently a thing you can blame on the Jews now.

because they’re already annoying even without the turkey

seriously though, I really miss the individual team TV booths during the postseason

It’s never good when the booth no baseball fan anywhere has an attachment to thinks we’re actually interested in what’s going on in there instead of on the field. There is an excellent game on. I do not care for your stupid turkey.

Another run, this is getting ridiculous

Danielle Blake @abradacabla.bsky.social · 7h

As someone whose team plays in a park where this happens *a lot* I love long fly balls that bounce off a wall. Chaos ensues. Any number of outcomes are possible.

Giants Bluesky is starting to cast covetous eyes at Polanco given we have a bit of a hole at 2B btw

God the umpire in this game is just all-round atrocious

Danielle Blake @abradacabla.bsky.social · 7h

Well the Mariners scored again so by and large can’t complain, but that was absolutely NOT a strike three to end the inning, this ump is BLIND
