And you just said it right there.
They're the only team in Major League Baseball right now, of the 30 teams, to have never even made a World Series.
And yet they've had Ken Griffey Jr.
and Randy Johnson and Edgar Martinez and Ichiro Suzuki and like luminaries, Hall of Famers go through that city and still they haven't reached the point that this team seems like it's going to.
And look, we've seen series in the past, guys, where.
a team loses the first two games at home and then goes on and eventually wins.
It is very rare though.
And it's especially daunting for the Blue Jays because this is a good Mariners team and it's been built a couple of ways.
It really foundationally started off with their starting pitching and they drafted and developed Logan Gilbert and George Kirby first round picks.
They took Brian Wu who hasn't pitched this postseason, but he's,
has been their best pitcher this year, a little bit later in the draft, and brought him along.
Luis Castillo, they traded for Bryce Miller, again, drafted and developed.
And that's a lot of what this Mariners organization is.
And the scary part for other teams in baseball right now, Seattle might have the best farm system of any team.
So they have this staff of pitchers that is really, really good in an era where most teams don't have enough starting pitching.
They have two foundational players in Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez who play up the middle at catcher and center field and are signed to extensions that go for the next half decade plus.
And at the trade deadline this year, they were aggressive and they went out and got Josh Naylor in
Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks and took a lineup that was decent and really lengthened it and deepened it and that's the thing they have been hitting they have been pitching and in September after they went through this jag where they lost 13 of 18 games they went 17 and 4 over their last 21 they looked like if not the best team in baseball then certainly the best team in the American League and they've been playing like it since the playoff started
Yeah.
Every time, like just to peek behind the curtain here, my job is I have to go down into a clubhouse and find out something interesting.
