I really thought they were going to work Seattle's starting pitcher into the dirt with a 25 pitch first inning. Then they just... swung at everything? Not sure what happened, whether they lost confidence in the umpire's strike zone, or if the pressure to press their advantage got to them, or what, but it was so frustrating!

They've been good this year about bouncing back from games like that, so hopefully we're heading to the coast all tied up.

Damn, fam, this is brutal...

Perhaps too much festivities after the ALDS win? Those extra days off seemed to do anything but good.

I also never understood why it's such a party for each one of clinching a playoff spot, clinching the league, winning each playoff series. Like, yeah I get it's rare, but they haven't actually won anything yet.

In my eyes, a team that wants to win is a team that doesn't celebrate that way until the job is done.

I'm glad we got 2 back! We can build on that quality half-inning

Starting to wonder if the Tigers would have been easier opponents lol.

Davis Schneider replaces Santander, who was pulled d/t back soreness. Today's lineup:

1. Springer DH
2. Lukes RF
3. Guerrero 1B
4. Barger 3B
5. Kirk C
6. Varsho CF
7. Clement 2B
8. Schneider LF
9. Gimenez SS

Good job Yesavage, that's how you bounce back after a rocky start. Onto the bottom of the 4th, let's score some runs.

Tight strikezone
