Mitch Garver on #Mariners ALDS Game 5 Win

I’m down here with Mitch Garber right now. And Mitch, you told me something earlier today. You were almost there. You said Logan Gilbert three inning save. You knew that you were going to see just about everybody in this game. I mean, it it it certainly turned out that way. Um I had Logan Gilbert going three inning save playing a nine inning game, but who knew we were going to play How many we play? 15 innings. I mean, it took literally everybody on this team to win that game. What does that say about this group of the determination and just how much you play for each other? Never quit, man. Never quit. Never give up. We We had some some tough luck there in those extra innings. We ran into some outs, but we just kept fighting back. Our pitching held us in it. Uh and we came through there when we needed it the most. You were able to get a little bit of breathing room with the sack fly off of Scooble. How tough was he tonight? Unbelievable, man. He’s the Sai Young winner. Multiple Sai Young winner for that. Uh he’s a really tough at bat. He’s tough against lefties, righties. He commands the strike zone and he has really electric stuff. So, you know, hat tip to him, man. He threw a really really good game and and you know, we were able to keep us in it there for a minute and come back and win it late. What was it that allowed you guys to go 15 innings and come away with this W. Honestly, man, it’s our pitching. It’s It’s the way our pitching went out there and did it. It was all hands- on deck, starters, relievers, whatever we needed to do to win that game. And I got to give a huge shout out to Cal Rally. Uh that’s my guy back there. He I don’t know how many pitches he caught. Probably 300. But he he played a hell of a game and and uh kept us in it. And Mitch, last question. You’ve been to a World Series, but what does it mean to you to bring these fans here? Something they haven’t had in 24 years. This is fantastic. I mean, this is everything that we needed. The crowd is with us all night. We got the team to do it. We have the talent. We have the grit. So, let’s just see where it plays out. On to Toronto. Thank you, Mitch. Say it.
