The NLDS ended with a WILD walk-off error, but it never gets to that moment without brilliant Dodgers pitching, headlined by Roki Sasaki's three electric innings in relief, to keep the Phils at bay until the 11th.
When Trey Yesavage told the world "I'm built for this" prior to his stunning postseason debut against the Yankees, there was a long list of people who helped get him to that moment who simply nodded in agreement. And they can't wait to see what he does with his next opportunity in the ALCS.
The Mariners have taken newly minted Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki's wise words and run with them, most especially for the biggest game of their season to date back on their home turf.
It takes trial and error. It takes good timing. Let's not pretend it doesn't take a little luck, too, but finally, the stars have aligned for a season where it's felt like everything has gone right.
The Mariners' army of relief arms could very well be the decisive factor as to whether they win Game 5 tonight -- or if their season ends in the winner-take-all matchup against Detroit.
