That HR was insane, Scott Service is now going to double guess every decision he has to make the rest of the series.

Well intentionally putting the tying run in scoring position and lead run on base to face a very clutch playoff star who just homered last at bat isn’t an obvious call by any means.

Bringing in Ray was dumb though

Go stros, I was there and the stadium was on fire. Never personally witnessed such joy and excitement from a crowd. Yordan of course being himself, what an experience.

What terrible bullpen management by Servais. Mariners had that game.

Bummer. Astros can go burn in a garbage fire. Don't care how talented you are, once a cheater always a cheater. Asterisk it all.

Would have been cool, but it’s the Astros. Prolly cheated.

I know practically nothing about baseball, but I THINK it means: The Mariners switched their pitcher to the starter pitcher (whatever that means, the first pitcher? idk). He then threw this pitch that the Astros duder hit a home run, resulting in 3 points which meant they won. The coach(?) that decided on the pitcher switch is prolly sweating bullets

You're pretty right.

Starting pitchers aren't Closers. Starters are built for longevity with an array of pitches. Closers built to handle a small amount of batters, hopefully just 3, by throwing hard and fast.

Normally you do not throw in a Starter at the end of the game unless you're racked with injury... or you have no trust in your bullpen (slang for the non-starting group of pitchers)...

Walking off means to win the game, usually when behind in score or tied, at the last chance to do so in the inning before you either lose or stay tied and go to the next inning.

So, yeah, Mariners manager (coach) decided to throw a Starter in, in the hopes that he could work this dangerous batter, but paid for it by the aforementioned batter "going yard" (hitting a homerun).

The Mariners manager is definitely going to hear about it.

Almost as insane as the decision to pull your closer with two outs in the 9th to put in your starter who is fresh off getting rocked by the Jay's two days ago, to face their best hitter who hits even better off lefties

Nailed it. Even if they’re not cheating today, once a cheater always a cheater. Put that asterisk next to that championship. Players get em, why can’t teams?

Oh no I’m getting downvoted!!! What will I ever do with myself? /s keep ‘em coming cheaters!

If the dodgers had won and you found out they cheated while playing you, you wouldn’t be saying this. That’s also notably known as a hypocrite, how’s it feel?

Edit: your name checks out - mommy issues got you all mentally tuckered.
