It sure to hell was, and the Ump assists the Mariners once again !!!That was a clear strike on the corner...
He threw around 100 pitches with a lot of high stressPull the starter early with an 8-4 lead, and see it evaporate.
Why did I feel this coming? Sounds like a familiar script.
Bassitt had 96 pitches. I can see pulling him there. Using Bass was dumbPull the starter early with an 8-4 lead, and see it evaporate.

Bunts are stupid. Bunts are stupid. Repeat after me: bunts are stupid.
Pop was throwing while Garica was pitching. Could have used Mayza too.They'd already used several of their good relievers over the last couple of days. Romano and Swanson are out after pitching twice in the series and seemingly Pop is out too after they yanked him from his warm-ups.
If they were saving Garcia for the 9th then Bass sort of by default becomes the next highest man on the reliever totem pole.
