Barnes, hit him high, hits a deep, it is out of here!

Here comes the hook.

Down there! 20 strikeouts!

He ties the Major League record.

Breeze hits it in the air to center.

We will see you tomorrow. So the Mariners were in. That's old news. The new news is we're going to walk through X factors for every postseason team today. We are getting closer. You can smell it. This is everybody's favorite word, the penultimate day of the MLB regular season. Jack McMullen, Peter Apple, just baseball show Tuesday, October 4th. Penultimate's got to be the best word, the English language, right? It's one of them. Yeah, I don't have a better word. So, yeah, I'll go with that one off the top of my head. That's a pretty good one. Calquantrol. Another good one. I love the word high octane. Like the phrase high octane, that's pretty sick. That is a good one. But while the mariners are technically old news, because we haven't been able to cover it since they, Cal Raleigh hit the walk off home run for them to get into the post season. Yeah. But this is news while it be old I can talk about forever.

I mean, grinning ear to ear watching that, the Dave Sims call, hey now, hey now, so electric.

Cowellie, it's a low scoring game in dead of night, and the Mariners are going to the

It is awesome. And I cannot wait to see them in the post season. Yeah. They're going to be in the Wild Card series. It was inevitable that they were going to get in. It just feels really good to see it finally happen. Yeah. And expanded postseason, Schmik's expanded possees. It doesn't matter. I don't care. No, I mean, that Dave Sims home run call was the most electric call in baseball since Dave Sims last year with that Mitch Hanager single. Oh, absolutely. But also with the expanded postseason, they are above the raise. The rays have been falling off a little bit. So they would be in, even if it worked. No, they hold that second wildcard spot. So they would be in. the other one, if you haven't seen it, Rick Riz,

their longtime radio voice loves the Seattle Mariners and loves baseball. Like in the second

inning, if they were down six nothing, it still sounds like he's invested. I've been listening

to Rick Riz for a minute now. And his level of buy-in to the Seattle Mariners every year makes him so worthy

of getting to call that moment. And his call of that moment was awesome too. So it was Dave Sims on TV.

It was Rick Riz on radio. And it was Cal Raleigh at the plate man. And Cal Raleigh is going to factor in to how the

Mariners fare in this postseason wildcard series that they're going to find themselves in. And

they'll be taking on that top wildcard team, we assume, which would be Toronto. It sets up
