Colby, it's finally happened. Humpy finally won the salmon run. Let's go, baby. Oh, yeah. Welcome to locked on Humpy. That's right. That's right. At night.

Yeah. Would it kill the Mariners to play an elimination game at home that they finish in nine innings or even like maybe 10 or 11? no, no, no, 33 innings in the last two elimination games. That's 33 minutes. The grand total, grand total of six runs scored by whole teams combined. Yeah. Yeah.

All three technically. So like, yeah. Yeah, of course it was going to be like this. Of course. Of course. No, what did I say on yesterday's show? No, I was like. Point a tie.

He's so smart. Hold on. If the tigers were going to win, they were going to win like four to nothing, right? Yeah. The Bears were going to win. It was going to be like in the 13th inning. And didn't I literally say like Leo Rivas was going to do something? I don't know.

Who cares? Whatever. He didn't do anything in the 13th inning. I mean, sure. Yeah. It's not wrong on the point. Leo Rivas is still a big part of this game though on his birthday. Yeah.

I believe we said either the mayors are going to win in some crazy way or they were just going to jump scubel randomly and put up six runs in three innings. And yeah, what do you know? It was definitely the former because scubal was. incredible tonight scuba was incredible i mean literally a historic playoff performance good lord man that guy is is nuts nuts and you overcame him twice in the span of just say it tie you beat him twice you beat him twice you beat him four times this year i mean they didn't really beat him today who won the game who started the game tie sure scubel who won the game tie not scubel not school not school not

school. There you go. They beat them four times, including twice in the last six days or whatever, five days, whatever long. It's, I have honestly, is today Saturday? I don't know. I have lost track days. I've lost track of everything. The last like hour has been a blur. I've gotten so many texts and so many phone calls and I've cried multiple times. I've just, yeah, I'm, as you can tell, there's like going to be no structure to the show. I'm just going to warn you now. There's no, structure for the show whatsoever. Look at the show sheet. Does it have bullet points? You're pointing to the wrong side, which is perfect.

That's a perfect encapsulation of what's going on. On my show. Like, not as I. On yours? That's, you're pointing to the right. Well, you're pointing to me. You're pointing to me on my, on my, well, then look at the bullet points. There's nothing. That is a perfect encapsulation of this show, though, for sure. So, yeah, uh, tomorrow we will try and collect ourselves and do some form of an ALCS preview.

I can't even believe that we're actually going to be talking about an ALCS, so after the way that game went. I mean, they had so many opportunities to end that game earlier. And frankly, with the way Schuble was throwing, and I know they had his pitch count in a pretty rough spot there for him. But I didn't think that AJ Hinch was going to take him out at sub 100 pitches. That was crazy. But like when Kerry Carpenter hit that home run, I kind of felt like,

was it was over. It kind of felt like we were done. But then we get the Leo Rivas Rokes. We got Mitch Garver heroics. We got Leo Rivas aeros in this game. Like some of your biggest, some of your biggest names didn't do anything in this one. I also like,

but honestly though, it's like kind of the quintessential Mariners win. Like if they were going to win this game, like we said yesterday, it was going to be weird. It wasn't going to make sense. And yeah, this game doesn't make any sense.

It's the longest winner take-all game in playoff history. And of course, the Mariners played in it. It is the tied for the second longest game in postseason history. Hmm. Who played the longest game in postseason history? Oh, well, you know, it's the Seattle Mariners as well. Yeah. It's normal.

I'm going to be at the Rogers Center for 27 innings on Sunday, aren't I? I, I mean. It's going to be 3 a.m. And I'm going to still be there at the stadium, watching baseball. He wants to say, I hope so, so you have to experience it. But the other part of me is like, how do you win game two and three and four? Have you been like, I don't know.

We don't even know who's going to start probably Castillo, but we don't even like, we have, Castile pitch tonight. You know, Logan pitch tonight. Like, yeah, I don't.

Bryce is going to be on three days rest. Yeah. It's like, we'll probably, I mean, Kirby only through 66. So like he might be available, right,

on one day's rest. Like, we don't know if Brian Wu's going to even be on the roster. Right. So we'll talk about all of that. I'm sure either late later today or maybe we might have to do an extra special episode tomorrow. But like, yeah, we'll get to that. But like, man, this, this game, so many heroes, none of them were you're like superstars.

Like Cal Raleigh was not the hero tonight. He did not have a good game at the plate. Behind the plate. He was pretty good. Yeah, he was fantastic behind the plate. Julio did not have a good night. He has not had a good at bat since he had the game winning double. Since game two.

Yeah. Yeah. He was basically, it was Naylor. was amazing. That was it. You know, a couple hits sprinkled here and there. I mean,

Rivas, of course, the big game time RBI single and, and everybody else, like I think Randy reached a couple times, but he got hit twice. Like, it's not like he did anything super special in this one.

JP had a couple of up to the end in any double play. Like a lot of your big names did not come through in some big spots. Absolutely not. And in some other ways, particularly on the pitching side, some of your big names came through a huge, massive spot. I mean, this win, like, has to be completely totally attributed to the Barron's pitching stuff across the board.

Yes. I thought, I don't know if this is where we're doing the whimsy or the ironic or whatever segment of our show. But I thought it was pretty interesting that we had the same situation pop up three times in this series. Yeah. Carpenter coming up in the first game, they let Kirby pitch to him. home run you lose that game largely because of that second game they bring in spire spire gets you know gets carpenter out and we're like oh see that's how you do it so this game they bring carpenter or they bring spire out to face carpenter and carpenter hits a home run off of them so yet every like however you wanted to say you know dan mismanaged that you had all three variations of it today or in this series in a in a six game stretch like

by the way i got to get i get i got to give props to dan wilson specifically yes for going Revos against Holton. That is quite the decision. It is. It points to the obvious fact. Like the Mariners really need another right-handed bat. Mitch Carver can't be like the guy. No, he can't be the right-handed bat. Like it just no.

But Revis came up. He also had a couple other, you know, pretty good at bats. He saw a lot of pitch. He did what Leo Revas does. You know, he sees a lot of pitches. He fouls off, you know, not necessarily a great bet to get a base hip, but he's probably going to make some contact. you can do things on the bases.

Yeah. Yeah, it was just kind of a weird night. I thought Dan Wilson out managed AJ Hinch tonight. I'm just going to say that. I think for the most part, yeah, he did. We know what's crazy about AJ Hinch's night tonight? Didn't use a single reserve. Crazy.

Yeah. All nine guys who started the game, finished the game. And we talked about this way back at the start of the series. Like, AJ Hinch's big advantage is that he can put you in a bad spot to use his platoons. and he can kind of manipulate you into taking out your better, you know, a better pitcher than you would use. And he didn't do it tonight. I mean, granted, there weren't a ton of opportunities.

But, you know, I thought part of that was because Dan kind of looked two steps ahead and was like, okay, let's do this. Let's tweak this right here. Let's go to Canzone. So they bring in the lefty and then we'll just take Canzone out. Again, it'd be great. They had like Ramon Loriano instead of having to trust Leo Rivas in that spot. But it is what it is.

And so, yeah, I thought Dan actually managed a really good game. There really wasn't anything that he did that I really hated, with the exception of the bunt, of course. But, yeah, that game is emotionally draining as somebody who sat through the 18-inning game and lost and had to watch a loss, like sitting through 15 innings and winning. That feels incredible. Like, it's like awesome. Yeah.

But, yeah, this game was, it was just nuts. And there were so many points where you're like, they're going to win, they're going to lose. like just back and forth and so many where you're just like throwing like the remote down on the ground like screw these guys and then you're coming back to like oh runner on second no but they have to like this game's over i can't tell you how many times i turned the tv off and then walked back over like by the time you know i figured the commercial break would be done and turned it back on and then paced around downstairs here and i went on my computer here and went on my phone i only saw

Logan Gilbert face one hitter because I was just like I can't watch this anymore I saw him strike out Colt Keith I think I saw Gilbert face dude I said in so many different I said in so many different spots I flipped my hat inside out wore my rally hat like I did

I all the stops for this one I left my house and came down to the studio yeah at the top of the eighth laughter Reavos tied it and I was like okay well I mean probably not going to go longer than the 10th or the 11th at the latest. So I've been here for like three hours, four hours now,

just waiting for this game to end and waiting for you to stop crying. So we could do this show. And yeah, it was just this whole ordeal where it's this team, man. I just, part of me is just like, can you be normal? And the other part of me is like, God, why would I want to root for a normal baseball team? That sounds so boring. anyone who, you know, was tweeting like, why are these fans so emotional? Why is that guy crying in the stance?

This game right here, case in point, that's why. Yeah, I don't really care what those people think like pound sand. Yeah, exactly. But also, now you all see. Now you've all gotten the Mariners experience. My brother who doesn't really watch baseball that much, he was texting me. He was watching the game. And he was like, they're going to do it here.

And I'm like, no, no. This was like in the 11th or whatever. I'm like, no, that'd be too easy. I was like, this is so predictable. And he's like, how did they not come through there? I'm like, dude, welcome to Marin's baseball. Like, this is why I am the way that I am about this team. Yeah.

By the way, quick little getting a lot of like fun tweets and like. Yeah. We saw a bunch of the Husky fans at their homecoming game. after the game ended, they were, they stuck around to sit on the concourse and watch the game. There's a great picture with everybody having their shoe on their head. That has to be the thing now, right? Yeah. Jerry DePoto says that at this point, they're expecting Brian Wood to be available at some point in the ALCS.

So he'll probably be on the roster. Yes. Yes. Yes. And Major League Baseball is really pushing this party like it's 1995 thing. I mean, every single inning and extra as they showed the double. Yeah, I know. Humpty has tweeted, believe.

Hell yeah, Humpy. Yeah. Hell yeah. Humpty. Let's go, Humpy. Keep it PG. Apparently, Paul Seawald, who did not make the roster, but is a member, he stood out on the field to watch the celebration from afar. And it's just like, bring him back.

I don't care. You're going to make me crying. You're going to make me cry. Paul like I wish Mitch Hanager was here I wish Marco was here like to see this. Hey there's going to be opportunities. There's going to be opportunities in game three and game four. Again, you know, it's not just about like a lot of people, I know a lot of people like who are around for the 95 team. They're thinking about that team tonight.

And I guess I get the similarities mostly because it was 30 years ago. And they won game five and extras is. Yeah. Should you compare the two hits? No, absolutely not. They're not remarkably. They're not remotely similar. But whatever.

I get it. But like for me, I'm thinking about the Paul Seawalds and the Mitch Hanigers and the Mark opens up like the guys who built this thing back in the day to get to this point that are not here anymore because they had to move, you know, the give way to the new and you know, the guys who ultimately have the opportunity to get this team to a place they've never been before and did tonight get them to a place they have not been in 24 years. So that was really cool that, you know, somebody mentioned that about Paul Seawald and just bring them back.

I don't care. We're going to talk more about this game. More just about all of this. Again, this is not going to be a very structured show in just a moment.

Be sure to tune in to the Marriss Postcast with Anderson Hurst and Christopher Crawford, available on both the Lockdown Merries, YouTube and podcast feeds. I am so glad those two. guys are going to be busy here over the next few days still because the Mariners still playing ball. It's October 11th now for me. The Mariners are still playing baseball. That's crazy. That's crazy.

The Mariners are in the final four folks. They walk off the Tigers tonight, three to two and 15 innings. Crazy. And a massive reason for it really the only reason that matters here. for it as this pitching staff was just so, so good tonight. George Kirby, it all starts with him. It feels like a lifetime ago that he pitched in this game. But he was...

Five o'clock, Ty. Yeah. It's almost midnight. He was so damn good. So good. And the game plan was very obvious. I'm just going to throw a ton of sliders and see if you can hit it. And for the most part, they didn't.

Yeah, there was at one point, the Mariners had thrown like 120 some odd pitches. There was almost 500 pitches thrown in this game between the two teams. But at one point, the Mariners had thrown like 120, and they had only thrown 34 fastballs, four seam and two seam. And when you look at the breakdown here on Stackcast, the Mariners threw 209 pitches, Detroit through 263. So 472 pitches. But anyways, the, the, two. 209 pitches the Mariners threw only 14.8% of them were forcing fastballs and only 22.5% of them were sinkers. Forty nine point eight percent of the pitches the Mariners through tonight were

sliders. Half of the Mariners pitches that they threw tonight were sliders. Like that is very clearly a game plan that they all carried throughout this game, for the most part, they all carried. And it worked. Yeah, in fact, the one time the Tigers got to run, it was on a fastball. so yeah just sliders for days from everybody Kirby was just fantastic tonight and then the bullpen I mean you know you get you get the hiccup

from Spire he gives up the home the two run home run thankfully the Tigers didn't score anymore there because that that could have quickly unraveled there especially with you know how poorly Gabe has pitched the last two games but you keep it at two to one

and I mean that Carrie Carpenter home run that's the last run, last pair of runs of the tiger score all year because the merits just shut it down. inning after inning after inning from that point forward. I'm just going to go down the line here. Matt Brash, two innings pitch, two strikeouts, no hits, no walks. Andreas Munoz, an inning in a third had those two walks there in the eighth inning when he first came in. And it was like, uh-oh, it also kind of seemed like maybe he was dealing with something. I don't know if he might have been feeling sick again.

he's you know he's said uh when was that remember when he had to uh when they had to bring him out like some fluids and all that i think i was against the aes yeah his villa was down almost three ticks on all of his pitches so yeah yeah he's said in the past that he's dealt with nausea on the mound so i don't know if maybe he was dealing with that or something else hopefully not something else yeah after those two walks he looked great yeah he had a he had a clean ninth inning uh, Logan Gilbert first time out of the bullpen for him goes two innings,

gives up three hits, but strikes out a couple, uh, walks one. Yeah, on two days rest. Pretty impressive. Yeah,

Edward Bizarro, man. This guy. This, this guy is a dog. Like an absolute dog. Like an absolute dog. Like we say it,

we've said it so many times this year, but my God, he just, continues to come through time after time after time. I know game four didn't go well for him, but Edward Bizarro is, I mean, again, he's by far spoiler alert for whenever we get into offseason content. And we do like unsung hero, he's the unsung hero.

Breaking news. Yeah. Not even close. More strikeouts. Four strikeouts, one walk, one hit for Bizarro. And then the rock gets it done. He gets the win in this game. And then even a third for him, he gets a strikeout.

Yeah. Mara's bullpen gave up five hits and three walks. And that was it. Yeah. Yeah. So just side, because this to me is just insane. Matt Brash through 26 fast or 26 pitches, none of them were fastballs. Wow.

19 slider, seven changeups. Wow. Munoz through 25 pitches, three fastballs. Logan Gilbert through 34 pitches, four fastballs. Yeah. It was Bizarro who came in and threw fastballs tonight. He threw 27 of his 39 pitches were sinkers. And the fact that he bounced back.

Like, I think one thing people don't get is that like Bizarro pitched in every game this series. So the Tigers had seen him a ton. And the more you see a guy, the more you pick up, the easier he is to hit. So, you know, when you see Gabe Spire for the fourth time in five days, you have a really good understanding. of the arm slot and where he's coming from and all that there's no break in between bizardo pitching all five of these games and he had a really bad game yesterday or well Thursday Wednesday I'm telling you guys my days they're all messed up right now and so for him to come out and give you two plus innings tonight uh you know on where you know and they wrote him

so hard during the regular season and and you know they've ridden him hard in this series and and he was not good last time you're just kind of like man I don't know how much more you can ask of this guy. Like, he's got to be on fumes and he stepped up in a big, big way. So, I mean, Polo, it gets, gets, you know, the love. He's the game winning hit and all that. And Logan on two days rest comes in and gives you quality innings, although he definitely looked like he was, you know, on fumes, as you might expect, not really in a great spot to do that, but you got to do what you got to do. Like, there are so many, there's so many people who, like, get a lot of love. But Bizarro somehow, again, goes under the radar when you consider what he's, you consider what

he's had to do in this series in this season for the Mariners. And yeah, it was, it was very much a bullpen win for the Mariners. And, you know, George on top of that too. And it just,

again, it kind of stinks for Spire because he's, he has the one blemish in this game. And he's been so good this year, especially against lefties. And he just made a mistake and it cost him. But he got the next two outs on four pitches or, well,

yeah, pitches. So, and, you know, he'll have his opportunities here in the next series to, to get back on the horse. And you're going to need them.

You're going to need them for guys like Addison Barger and Nathan Lucas and Dalton Varshow and all that, you know, if you want to play the matchups with those guys. So, yeah, yeah, I'm still, I'm still riding with Gabe Sparer. That's my guy. And so, you know, I know the last couple of games haven't gone well for him, but he's a dog and he's had a great year. And, you know, I know, I know his teammates have his back too. So, yeah, you know, he's going to be a real big piece of this of the Mariners want to get to the World Series and win themselves. was a championship. But,

uh, but, uh, but yeah, um, just cannot say enough good things about this, this, uh,

marries pitching staff and the performance that they had tonight. And I mean, you know, I texted you this, I think around the 10th inning that, you know, they were much better set up to handle a long extra earnings game than the Tigers were.

Uh, now at the time that I texted you do that, I kind of forgot about the possibility of like Jack Flaherty coming into this game, which he did. Uh, but yeah, it just felt like because Dan,

said before the game like rice would be available louise would be available logan would be available and then you know at the time that i texted you bizardo hadn't even pitched yet um i just i felt like the mayor is like they were in a much better spot to handle this than they were to handle the 18 inning game so that part gave me a yeah that part gave me a little bit of confidence but you know it also just kind of felt like one swing of the bat was going to do it in one direction or the other. wound up not really being the case. You know,

bases loaded or it hits the single, all that. But, you know, I was just like mentally preparing myself inning after inning after ending for, you know, Carrie Carpenter,

home run or Glaibre Torres or Spencer Torkelson into the mayor's bullpen or something like that. And it just, it never happened. I can't believe that we didn't see Emerson Hancock in a high leverage spot.

I thought for sure that's where this thing was going. and any number 20 Emerson Hacker comes up. I mean, again, we'll see how like the mayor is going to have

to announce their playoff roster Sunday morning. So we won't have to wait long to find out. But, man, you know, it would be great

is if you didn't need to use Bizarro on Sunday. You give that guy two days off because he's earned them. You know, and then some, what are these guys going to fly out to Toronto? I assume tomorrow morning would be my guess.

I can't be tonight, right? I mean, they don't have to fly the plane, so like that makes it more likely. Sure. I guess they can sleep on the plane. I don't know how good their plane is, like how much space they have. It would have just been so much easier. They just won in Detroit. And they could have just taken that easy fly, gotten a couple days off.

This team will not do things the easy way. It's a mayor. I think I text you after game one or. during game one or before game one i don't know it was sometime around game one i was like yeah they're probably gonna win in five because that's just you know the marries they're probably gonna have to beat school twice and lo and behold the mariners never like take the shortcut take the easy way the most this was the quintessential mariner's game i just it's like it's so funny to think about and i'm so glad that we're in a we're in a spot where we can laugh about it

immediately after. I'm so tired, Ty. I'm so tired. Dude, it is 236 here right now. I know. I know. I'm going to, dude, the Mariners are going to be playing game one of the ALCS in less than 48 hours. I'm going to be at the Rogers Center in less than 48 hours watching them play. I'm so tired. I just, that is so, like, it boggles my mind that that's happening so quick because, you know, we just, we got to speed run the postseason. So we're, we're going to wrap the thing up and talk a little bit more about just the craziness of this night before we get out of here again tomorrow we'll have a more structured show for you guys but for now we're just

going to are you announcing something for tomorrow i'd said earlier on in the show we're going to do some sort of a lCS preview so that's coming your way tomorrow but uh yeah we're going to continue to vibe out here and enjoy this one enjoy just a moment, but first a reminder, this episode of the Lockdown errors podcast is brought to you by Ruggiat.

We are going to wrap things up here talking about game five of the ALDS. Mariner's win three to two against the Detroit Tigers to advance the ALCS for the fourth time in team history first time since 2001. Crazy. Crazy. There were so many plays in this game. I mean, there's so much stuff that happened in this game that we probably haven't covered and probably won't cover just because so much has happened. But, um,

You know, a couple of other things that I just wanted to quickly mention here. Like, Cal Raleigh, throwing out Colt Keith with just the most perfect throw, perfect tag from JP. Like, just amazing. It's absolutely beautiful. Like, that's big time players making big time plays and big time moments. Huge. Gino throwing out the runner there at home. I think that was McKinstree, right?

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, it was McKinstry. Like that play. Polo made a really nice play like really early on in this game just a lot of a lot of big plays, a lot of big moments

just yeah and again going back to the to the to the to the bullpen to this pitching staff in general like yeah you know you shouldn't like the formula is in winning games in 15 innings but it is you know gritting out games

and you know just getting a little extra bit out of you know every single guy and you know, some unlikely heroes contributing. Like you're seeing all the, all the factors that come into play for every single team that's ever won a championship, really. Like, the Mariners are checking off every single box.

I mean, you even think about like the last, you know, week or so of the regular season, like Victor Rubles, making that catch in Houston and all that. Like, it's moments like that that ultimately lead to stuff like this, that ultimately lead to going to the ALCS, competing for a championship, all that. And yeah, again, the Mariners are like checking off a lot of those boxes, which makes me very excited.

The journey definitely has been something to endure. But, I mean, the destination so far has been very much worth it. And I'm hoping that we can have a lot more wins to talk about here. Just need eight more. You are world champs. And that's a crazy, crazy thing to think about. That's a crazy thing to say out loud about the Seattle Mariners. But here we are.

You can't win the eighth one until you win the first one. So that's first one. Yeah, and it's going to be a huge challenge. And again, we'll talk about that a bit more tomorrow. There's a lot of questions on the Blue Jays side, specifically Obisette. like is he going to be able to play in this series that's that's a big one there um but you know we'll worry about that tomorrow but uh just you know again we we've made all the jokes about how this is you know very mariners win and all that but i mean this is a very very impressive win where so much stuff

got thrown out of the mariners so much was placed upon guys's shoulders like logan gilbert like edward bazaardo like louis castillo and again you need a contributions from mitch garland and Leo Revas, like, yeah, there's, there's a lot of, like, negatives we could look at, you know, like all the times that they didn't come through with, you know, a runner 180 feet away from winning this thing and, you know, with no outs and all that. But in the end, I mean, just the fact that they were able to grit this thing out and win this thing is just so, so damn impressive. And I think it says a lot about this club. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's grit, you know, and it is some kind of belief system.

and this is the type of thing that people have told us Dan Wilson is very good at, and it's been very hard to believe in throughout the course of the season because this team has been very hit or miss for large chunks of the season. But really, you know, since that game in Atlanta where Julio kind of put the team on his back, this team has lost, I think six games since early September. So, like, it really is something that is there. It's evident. you worry about at some point they're going to run out of gas like they they've been playing pretty

good ball for so long and they're playing all these long games and it's it's draining it's emotionally draining and even with the built-in-off days like there's just back and forth travel and all of it it can gas you pretty quick but you know if you figure that this team do they have enough left in the tank to go and get this thing done we're going to find out in the fact that we're at an opportunity where we do get to find out is is pretty impressive and pretty cool and you know something to keep in mind we don't know how long it's going to be before they get this close again yeah think back to that 2022 season guys we all thought it was going to happen in the next year and it didn't that's what's had me the most stressed out during this series is knowing how long the last

two years have been we talked about this when they won the division clenched you know their spot in the playoffs and all that. So I don't really need to reiterate it. But like, yeah, that just that experience of the last two years, like, was just constantly in the back of my mind of like, and, you know, and also not to get too far ahead of ourselves here, but like there's going to be a lot of questions about the future of this, the immediate future of this team that we're going to have to go over, you know, over the course of the off season. But, um, we don't have to do it this week. I was so I was so planning for like mailbag money to be super depressing like I was

trying to prepare myself as best as possible for that you know the one thing that like kind of helped me out here was like well at least it's the weekend at least I don't have to get on a show tomorrow and like immediately go into off-season mode so that that's nice surprise you do have to do a show tomorrow though because the mariners just keep on winning but and i'm i'm happy to do so and i'm so happy to do so you keep winning i'll keep doing these shows we might have to take tuesday off when the mariners have their off day because i just i'm tired i'm tired i'm not sure what our schedule is going to look like with me going to at least one of these games i'm going to try to go to both i mean again how many times am i going to get to see the mariners play in the alcs so like i probably should go to both games

even though it's going to be super freaking expensive. But I mean, this is kind of like maybe a once in a lifetime thing. Who knows? Like, who knows when you're going to get back to this point to, you know, to your point earlier. So, yeah. If you were post game show on Sunday. Yeah, I don't know.

Like, I don't know what my plan is. I might stay with a friend in Toronto. Or maybe I'll get a hotel in Toronto. I don't know. Either way, guys, whether we do. show or not. Chris and Anders will have you covered for the post game of, you know, game one. So you guys will get a post game show and it will be much more structured than this one. But this has been a mess. Yeah, Tyson got to edit this thing down to like

35, 40 minutes. So yeah, again, we'll have a normal preview tomorrow. Maybe we'll have a round table. Maybe it'll just be Ty and I. We'll see. Yeah. But yeah, we'll have a preview tomorrow. we'll talk about who starts game one and how you man blah blah blah but tonight this is just kind of a vibe and just kind of chilling uh much like the mariners are doing in their clubhouse i assume still right now and just kind of you know hanging out with you guys although and we wanted to do that we probably should have gone live but like whatever you know it is what it is and uh hey you guys get at least another week or so of us talking about baseball games that being played, not what might be played in

2026. And that is a win for everybody. Believe me. That's right. That's right. If you are planning on going to Toronto for the series for the first two games of the series, let us know in the comments. I would love to know who's going to be out there, going to be at the Rogers Center.

I figure it might not be as many people as it was for the wild card series, because obviously that series was just condensed to you know, Toronto and it was the first playoff series in, you know, 20 some odd years. So I don't know how many people are going to make the trip because, again, you're going to be able to get to see this series in Seattle for games three and games four at least and potentially game five. But yeah, if you're planning on going to Toronto, I'll be there. So hope to see you there. Feel free to say hi if you see me, all that. Yeah, let's just have a hell

of a time. Like, I mean, at this point, like, you want to playoff series. To me, you're just playing with house money now. And I mean, look, like Cal said, and Colby, I'm going to pull out the dolphin sound for this. I just won the whole thing at this point. All right. That is going to do it for us. What a mess of an episode. What a beautiful mess of an episode. That was one of my favorite episodes ever to record because this was, I mean, this is one of my favorite days ever of being a Maris fan. Like, seriously, they just won

one of the biggest games in franchise history. You guys will always remember October 10th. That's the day that Humpy broke through. That's right. That's right. Let's go, Humpy. Let's go. Thank you so much for joining us here on the Lockdown Humpy podcast for Colby Patnode. I'm Ted de Gazzal.
