Mariners Analysis: Early Assessment Montgomery/Vogelbach Trade

If I had told you back in April that Mike Montgomery would be the who pitcher closed out game 7 of the 2016 World Series, you would be extremely excited because that would have meant that the Seattle Mariners won the World Series. That, unfortunately, is not the case as Montgomery was pitching for the now, world champion Chicago Cubs.

Mike Montgomery arguably recorded the most important final out in baseball history. With two outs and a 0-1 count in the bottom of the 10th inning of game 7 of the World Series, Montgomery threw a curveball to Cleveland Indians second basemen, Michael Martinez (no relation to Edgar).
