    He had 3 good AB’s today. He’s a great glove and a streaky bat that probably nets out to an average offensive player and an above average total package.
    I also think he will get chewed up against good pitching in the playoffs.

    Cry me a river. Espada is a poor manager in close games so far. If people are hyper critical, it's because they should be. The one run record is there. It's in black and white. He routinely leaves players in too long, or inexplicably takes relievers out. They have righted the ship and gets credit for that, too. I would kindly ask you to recall the slander Dusty Baker got the year after the team won a World Series.

    Yes... ALMOST

    What really could hurt going forward is the fact Hader had to pitch.

    Still happy for the win

    Twins used up pointless runs in the series. It's brilliant strategerie.

    Whew boy glad I wasn't watching that. Happy we got the win though, in Mar/April we probably lose that.

    No Memorial Day Massacre payback.

    Mariners literally have their entire lineup hitting under .250 (lone exception Rojas hitting a robust .259)

    My son and I were watching GameCast, game is blacked out here in ATX.

    And when Hader came in I said, this will be a HR, and we will either win 13-12, or they will beat us by one.

    As soon as Gamecast paused we looked at each other....and went uh oh......

    Well, that was certainly a way to improve your record in one run games.

    Mariners just like many teams are looking forward to the break to mentally reset.

    They are just squeaking by thanks to their pitching.

    Doesn't matter if their pitching can hold it down...even if their lineup produces only 2 or 3 runs. They're lucky.

    I thought Chas robbed it. I almost feel like he should’ve. But then I really didn’t see exactly how close it was.

    Chas looked like he was about to blame the flowers for reaching over the wall.
