Why George Springer Is Aaron F'ing Boone and Other 2025 Seattle Mariners Closing Thoughts
<p>Tough loss for the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays. And to lose it on a home run from George Springer - that's extra painful. </p><p>For my experience at the ALCS (Game 4) with my mama, check out my YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/wnrCrvXsQzg?si=XAcBVZ0bSDecYLpT</p><p>In this episode, I discuss the questionable managerial choices by Seattle manager Dan Wilson, the big hit and the disdain Mariners have for George Springer (although most of us NEVER wanted to see him get injured), and the overall 2025 Seattle Mariners season, while looking ahead to next year. I also preview - with my prediction - for the upcoming World Series matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p>Like the 2003 Boston Red Sox, the 2025 Seattle Mariners will be back for redemption. </p>

Seattle Mariners Up 2-0 in the ALCS!? Why We Cannot Get Overconfident and Other Thoughts About the 2025 Seattle Mariners
<p>The 2025 Mariners have all the momentum as the American League Championship series shifts back to Seattle for Game 3. They are up 2-0 with a pitching staff that has finally received some better rest and hitters who are starting to find their swings. </p><p>But now is NOT the time to get complacent or overconfident. In this episode, I break down some of the math that might suggest how the odds are in the Mariners' favor, but comebacks have happened before and this Toronto Blue Jays team is good. </p><p>Below are some of the essays and the YouTube channel I mentioned in the episode:</p><p>- My essay on the 2025 Seattle Mariners: https://polispandit.com/waited-24-years-seattle-mariners/</p><p>- Seattle Times story on What history says about the Mariners' chances to reach World Series: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/mariners-hold-a-huge-advantage-up-2-0-in-alcs-they-know-better-than-to-let-up-now/</p><p>- My YouTube Channel - M's VLOG coming soon! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsVgf0vt_NMPLiH3U3xfNFQ</p><p>Sign up for my newsletter so you don't miss any of my work: https://polispandit.substack.com </p>
