Mariners manager Dan Wilson summed up the relief availability for both clubs in his pregame session with reporters: <\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcac \u201cIn terms of the bullpen tonight, we say all hands on deck.\u201d <\/p>\n
Well, yeah. It\u2019s Game 7, after all. But a quick look at the usage last night, to keep in mind after Seattle starter George Kirby and Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber leave the stage.<\/p>\n
TORONTO<\/p>\n
Jeff Hoffman: 35 pitches in Game 6Louis Varland: 22 pitches<\/p>\n
SEATTLE<\/p>\n
Matt Brash: 21 pitches in Game 6Eduardo Bazardo: 15 pitchesCarlos Vargas: 13<\/p>\n
So the Mariners will have a fresh closer in Andr\u00e9s Mu\u00f1oz, while the Blue Jays may be inclined to dip into their reserve of starters after Hoffman\u2019s lengthy outing last night. Both Kevin Gausman and Max Scherzer will be in the bullpen for Toronto manager John Schneider this evening.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcac \u201cIt’s not set in stone where we may use either one of them,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cBut I think knowing that they are going to be mentally and physically ready if we do call on them is very comforting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariners manager Dan Wilson summed up the relief availability for both clubs in his pregame session with reporters:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-228108","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
