Yep. I was going to type it 20 times, but..

…if just TWO of those guys pan out into solid starters: gold.

esp for the bullpen. This team loss so many games due to it blowing up the lead or blowing up in relief.

77-85 sounds much better than 72-90.

It isn’t good but I will take it since this team was without Trout and Rendon plus some other key players for most of the season.

Too bad the Halos couldn’t play spoiler against Seattle. But I am a bit sad that the Blue Jays just missed getting to post-season. Looks like the Rays is the only AL team I care for going into the playoffs

I’m smiling at watching the Dodgers having to play a 1-game playoff!

I really hope the Angels work on improving the pitching come next season

Suarez, Sandoval, and whoever they get should be a lot better than what they had this year.

NO sendoff for Suzuki. Man wasn’t your best year Kurt but you deserved a better sendoff.

Colonic is Seager Jr. The punchable face whiny Mariner tradition will continue.

I still don’t understand why the Angels didn’t trade Raisel and then just sign him back. Surely the prospect(s) they would have gotten would have been worth the slight possible savings they get him to if they sign him before he reaches FA.

Won’t he be a free agent around 4:10 this afternoon?

Angels have exclusively window to negotiate with him this way.

Doesn’t he have to wait until after the World Series to talk to other teams?

Has there ever been a tradeaway and re-sign (for the Angels)? Hell no. Trade him – we’ll never see him again

Better give him a qualifying offer (assuming those are still allowed)

Would have been nice to get a trade haul but QO is a fallback.

The score is Not 17 to 13, but instead 7 to 3. Yet, we will hit the 4-hour mark before it’s over.

so yes, this is the last game still going. Why did the Cards/Cubs game only go 8?

Eric_in_Portland

no, 7 innings for that.

I’m feeling the Mariner fans sadness from 600 miles away, and it’s bittersweet.

Mostly sweet. Eff them.

Most intentional HBP EVER and Seager just walks to first. Way to back up your smack talk Seager.

Red Sox came out of the dugout for similar situations for Avila and Zimmerman. Both class acts. Are the Angels out of the dugout for Seager? Let’s hope not.
