00:00Because Seattle, like, it was a heck of a season.

00:02I don't want that to go underreported.

00:05Julio Rodriguez put together an amazing ALCS.

00:08He put together a great postseason.

00:10I feel like he kind of solidified himself as that budding superstar.

00:15Maybe we call him a superstar going into 26.

00:17I don't know.

00:19Cal Raleigh, you know what?

00:20I know it was a rough game six.

00:21He homers in game seven.

00:23Seattle played a heck of a series, man.

00:25Like, this was, and I mentioned it off the top,

00:27like a total gut punch of a series for Seattle.

00:30Who was hunting their first World Series appearance ever.

00:32They remain the only team in Major League Baseball

00:35without an appearance in the Fall Classic.

00:37It's really, really tough.

00:39Because they were right there.

00:41And I did feel like, and I'm curious what you guys think.

00:46I think the Mariners had the better roster.

00:49Like, I think from one to 26,

00:52you're probably taking their rotation.

00:55I think you're definitely taking their bullpen.

00:58And when it comes to the offensive numbers,

01:00they really weren't that different.

01:02And we also know that home runs oftentimes win out in the postseason.

01:07And the Mariners were one of the league leaders in home runs, right?

01:11They outslugged the Blue Jays during the regular season.

01:14But then you could argue, well, did the Jays have a better lineup?

01:17Because they led Major League Baseball in batting average,

01:19in on-base percentage, in contact rate.

01:22And it was a really, like, fun back-and-forth kind of a chess match.

01:26And that's why we saw it go seven.

01:28But it's got to feel so tough because you can make a real argument

01:31this was the best team in Seattle's history.

01:33Of course, we already talked about it the other day.

01:36That team that set the record for wins in the regular season back in 2001.

01:41You know, now there's certainly an argument with this team not getting passed.

01:45It's just got to be a knife to the heart.

01:48Because they were right there.

01:49They were winning this game until that big swing.

01:52It felt like they were going to win this game.

01:55It felt like they were going to win this game.
