Brooklyn BucketsI wondered why they wouldn’t intentionally walk Springer there, give themselves force-out/double-play options. They didn’t… and the outcome was very, very bad for Seattle. ⚾️ #MLB #ALCS #GameSeven #GameSevens #ALCSGameSeven #Seattle #SeattleMariners #TorontoBlueJays #Toronto
Grogmagog@BrooklynBuckets Lukes is a left-handed hitter but ... .257/.320/.413 in 346 ABs against righties in 2025. I'd pitch to him over Springer any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
@gogmagog 💯 I was surprised.
Buca Chow Chow@BrooklynBuckets I actually thought they shoukd have let Woo pitch to Springer there since be struck him out the first time up and made him look bad.
@bucachowchow That too, yes, though it would have been a more daring call. Either of those choices made more sense to me, though, than what they eventually did.
