Bruce miller is a good pitcher that made a mechanical shift that didn’t really work so he had a rough year and he just needed a lead off hr and 2 walks and two scorched lineouts to settle in nbd, moving on.

Bounce two curves in there and yeah prob gonna get a fastball under the Brendon little experience, just too bad that wasn’t a 102 mph liner at a glove

Im not qualified for that haha. If it’s 3-0 jays the strategy is different than 2-1, 1-2 or 0-3. I think they like varland in that opener spot for the top of the order, then matchups/figure it out. Think cb/ms/el would all be happy to one out of the pen and give 3- 18 batters as requested though.

Bassitt scherzer and lauer are in my bullpen, if that wasn’t clear.

I think that's a fair assumption, yeah, and would agree with it.

I'm also like super pro-bullpen game for G4 and would be fine with a lineup-specific pocket for Max to work a handful of batters in a non-mopup role.

Lauer handled this lineup really well (sample size of 1 appearnce) earlier in the season. So did Paxton Schultz, so maybe that's an indictment on the Mariners lineup, but still.

on an absolute tear and then settled a bit.

M's got Caleb Ferguson and Luke Jackson in season.
CF didn't face TOR this year.
LJ:
05/27 w TEX- 1ip, HBP Springer IBB Barger, got Ernie Kirk Santa
05/28 single to Lukes.
07/27 w DET Jays got to him for 4 runs in mopup duty

Ross Atkins @alexgrady180.bsky.social · 1d

To summarize, Jays saw a lot more of the M's playoff starters than the other way around (No Berrios Francis Lucas), and I'd say the M's hitters saw more Jays relievers than the other way around, without ever really doing any damage. Hoffman in particular crushed M's hitters, but he started (cont.)
