One step forward, a million steps back. That seems to be the M.O for the Mariners here in the early going, suffering their fifth shutout loss of the year of the day after snapping a six-game losing skid.

Colby's got three moves he thinks the Mariners should make. We'll be getting to that. A little bit later in the show, we're also going to get you set for tonight's pitching matchup between Robbie Ray and Aaron Nola, but unfortunately, we need to start with what happened last night at Team Mobile Park. The Mariners, after seemingly building some momentum with their walk-off win over the raise on Sunday

and snapping their six-game losing streak, reverted back to pain, utter pain. Nine nothing, they lose, their fifth shutout loss, of the year, this time by the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies. Gene Segura got things started with the home run. That adds to the pain even more so. Chris Flexen got bashed around a little bit. Julio Rodriguez had a good day.

That's the good thing, but the bats overall went cold again. Clearly, they got shut out. Diego Cassio had another rough outing out of the bullpen. But Colby, you do have some positives. that you took from this game, right? Sure, yeah. Of the Mariners five hard hit balls, two of them were Abraham Toro,

so that's, you know, a thing. But, no, Penn Murphy came in and looked really good again. He only threw seven pitches, got a strikeout, three outs, and he was done for the night. And Murphy is kind of emerging as a legitimate middle relief option. It'll be interesting to see what happens with him in particular when, for example, Sergio Romo is ready to go.

Romo is going to throw an inning on a rehab stint in Tacoma today. And it doesn't sound like he's going to need much time or that many opportunities to be ready to go. So he's going to be joining the bullpen pretty soon rejoining the bullpen. I think Murphy's pitched well enough to stick around. He's been, honestly, he's been more trustworthy than just about anybody not named Paul C. Wald or Eric Swanson.

Is that a good thing? Anyways. Yeah, and then also making his major league debut, Danny Young came in. And he was solid. He kept the score where it was, two and a third inning, gave up three hits,

walked a guy, but he also struck out three. Only two hard hit balls. He might have a future somewhere down the line. He's probably the guy that gets sent down when Romo is ready to go. Really through no fault of his own, but he's just kind of the odd man out. But we saw what he had last night, particularly the slider. That's a nice pitch to use particularly against lefties. He threw 21 sliders last night.

He got nine swings on it, five whiffs on the slider. So, yeah, it was a really nice pitch. It works well for him. They couldn't square it up at all. Then the sinker is just kind of there. Like, it's acknowledged that it's there, but it's mostly a slider. Danny Young is a slider-heavy guy. He kind of throws from a kind of a true sidearm, arm slot.

And for the most part, he threw strikes last. night and he he kept the line moving and he ate innings and the Mariners bullpen is still in pretty good shape which is a positive when you look at a blowout you didn't have to burn through you know two three arms pen Murphy's going to be available tonight castillo probably not they probably weren't going to use him anyways and then obviously Danny young it's not going to be available but everybody else should be up and so yeah you know you got to give credit to Danny young in Penn Murphy. The two most inexperienced guys in the bullpen came in,

and they gave you three and a third of shutout baseball and just kind of allowed you to have an opportunity to reset your bullpen for these last two games before you're off day on Thursday, which should, in theory, let Scott be pretty aggressive with the pen over the next two days. And, you know, based on who they'll be facing, at least tonight, he might have to do that if Robbie Ray gets into any trouble at all. Then on the flip side of everything,

we got Julio, who had a three for four night with a hustled double, his fifth double of the year. He's now up to 255, 319, 349, with a 105 WRC plus on the year. Strikeout rate is still high. But, you know, they put a number on the broadcast last night that they ran a couple times. It was also all over Twitter yesterday

that over his last couple weeks, Julio's been pretty good. Been pretty good here. And it seems to be turning a corner. He's obviously now hitting in the three hole. We'll see if that actually lasts with J.P. Crawford back in the lineup, which is expected to happen tonight. But he's been, he's four for eight since being moved to the three hole.

So that's been good for him so far. And he's been looking better at the plate. And obviously he's hit in not. hell out of the ball still. His first hit of the night, of course, was another hard hit ball that Gene Seguerah couldn't field. It was credited as an error at first to Seguera, but later changed to a single for Julio. I think that makes sense. It's a tough play.

I think it was 97, 98 off the bat. Took a weird spin once it bounced off the ground. So that's a tough play to make. So, yeah. So, yeah, like I said, Julio goes three for four. one of his better nights so far and you're starting to see some really positive signs now that's his second three hit game

of the month here in the last eight days so yeah just really good stuff coming from Julio what are you seeing out of him that maybe is different than what you saw from him in the first month of the season yeah he's just looking more comfortable it's been really since after the first week It's been a steady increase in production, which is obviously, I mean, it's great. One thing that I have noticed here is that in the month of April,

Julio had only, he only had two games in the entire month where he did not strike out in the game. So far in May, he has done that five times. So the strikeout numbers while still elevated are going to continue to go. go down. He's going to strike out some. He's a young guy, but it's not in his profile over the long term to be this high strikeout guy. He's going to make a lot of contact. And it's going to be a lot of hard contact, which is why people are so sure of his hit tool. Yeah, you know, he's he struck out so far seven times this month. But three of those came against Tampa on May 5th. So, yeah, he's been much better. He's putting the ball and play more consistently. And he's

continuing to hit the ball hard, which, again, is going to result in a lot of hits for Julio. And the beauty of Julio is he doesn't even have to hit the ball hard to get a hit. He just has to, if Julio makes contact, enough contact, he's going to churn through hits and he's going to always have a little bit higher of a BAPib than league average because he's so fast and because he's going to have more opportunities. So, yeah, Julio just, he looks more comfortable. It looks like he's kind of he's

Throttled down on the swing a little bit You remember early on when he looked like he was trying to pull everything 500 feet Swinging out of his shoes It's much more controlled He's using the entire field We've seen him hit the ball to right center field with authority A few times The home runs are going to come

That's not even remotely a concern that I have Right now and he just has to continue to hit And he's probably your third best bat right now, which again, is that a problem? Yeah, it's a problem. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a problem. Particularly when it's when it's Ty France, J.P. Crawford, Julio, 50 feet of you know what, and then the rest of the lineup. So yeah, it's a bit of a problem. But hey, you know, if Julio hits 340 the rest of the year, like yes for the last, I don't know,

two, two, three weeks, then. Yeah. So here are the last two weeks actually for Julio. It's 320, 370, 3.75 WRC plus 22.2% K rate. That'll be that that plays. That will play. Yeah, 5.6 walk rate, but again, he's hitting a lot. So whatever. The walks will go up to as hitter, as pitchers become a little more. as they respect his bat more,

they're not going to be as eager to challenge him. And honestly, he should have more walks anyways if you want to talk about the strike zone again. So yeah, not worried about the walk percentage, not worried about the home run power. But yeah, that's Julio's been an all-star for the last two weeks. Yeah.

But like you said, the Mariners have issues along the rest of the lineup, the breast of the roster, frankly. You have three moves that you think they should make to maybe help improve things a little bit or at least maybe push them in the right direction. We're going to be talking about that in just a moment. But real quick, a reminder of this episode of Lockdown Mariners is brought to you by Bet Online.

So Colby, you messaged me, I don't know, a couple hours ago and said, I have three moves that I think will improve the Mariners 26-man roster. So let's talk about it. The floor is yours, my friend. All right. So I pull up my notes here. And I don't think the first one's going to surprise anybody, but I think the reason might. So move number one, demote Dylan Moore.

recall Donovan Walton. Now, is Donovan Walton absolutely a better major leagher than Dylan Moore? No, I don't think we can say that yet. I mean, Walton is hitting 319, 396, 553 in Tacoma. He crushed at that level last year. He's probably more of a four-a-guy, but what he brings to the table is a lot of contact, a lot of walks. He brings the versatility, and Dylan Moore's versatility is,

overrated on this team anyways. He's not even the best backup shortstop option. Honestly, it should have been Frazier the last two nights. He's been terrible in the outfield this year. And Toro can handle second and third anyways. And if JP's back and you feel comfortable with that, Walton can also play short and second and some third. So Walton brings you a higher floor than Dillan Moore. And as a bonus, you know, there's been some good moments from Dillan Moore. He's hit the ball hard a few times in the last week, but he's not going to get consistent enough playing time to really make any changes at the big league level.

You have this option left. Why not send Dillan Moore down for a couple weeks? Let him play every single day, work on these tweaks, continue to work on these tweaks, and hopefully he can come back up and hit the ball with more authority more often. Walton right now is just a safer bet to get on base. He's a safer bet to make contact.

And he, well, Dylan Moore is definitely a better base runner, you can't steal first base, so what difference doesn't make? Walton just makes more sense for this team right now. And part of it is because Dylan Moore could be a very valuable piece if he could hit at all. Well, you're not going to turn him into a hitter with him playing twice a week.

Sent him down, let him play, you know, three, four weeks down in AAA, let him give him a real opportunity to make the changes you think he needs to make, and then call him back up and see what, happens. Walton just gives you a better shot to win now.

And as an added bonus, Dylan Moore can play every single day and possibly try to make a few changes so that he can be a valuable major leaguer because right now he is not. Wow. I mean, in a way, that was still a fairly positive Dylan Moore take from Colby. So progress, folks. I don't hate Dylan Moore.

I hate watching him play baseball at the major league level. Difference. All right, so what's number two? Number two. Demote Stewart Fairchild. If you're not going to play him, demote him. I like Fairchild. I think he's a really interesting player.

He needs to play. And he's been up with the team for about 10 days now. I think he's got three at-bats, all in blowouts. They haven't even used him as a defensive replacement. Send him down. He needs to play. And as a bonus, you can improve by getting a higher floor major leaguer on your roster in either Billy Hamilton or Stephen Super.

a junior. Susa Jr., by the way. Playing pretty well, down in AAA. Obviously, again, Susa Jr. is not a juggernaut offensively. He's not, you know, I'm not. I'm not saying you're telling you that this guy is going to sums. But what he does bring, he brings right-handed power. And he also brings plenty of experience.

He has been in a bench role before. It's not a guy you have to worry about. Well, I sat him four days in a row. It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't. Not Stephen Sousa. So it just makes a lot of sense. And when you look at what he's doing down in Tacoma right now,

you know, he's hitting, he is hitting 265-414, 515. Plenty of power there. Again, yes, he's going to strike out. It's also going to walk. And he's going to run into some guns. And if you're trying to try and he's going to run. to platoon somebody with Jared Kellnick and tell Kyle Lewis is ready, but you want to spend a roster spot on,

which it appears they do because Dylan Moore is still up with the team. Susa Jr. is a better bet to do it. You, Steven Susan Jr., Billy Hamilton also, Susa Jr. just makes more sense because he is a right-handed hitter, and you need that platoon partner or you want to use that platoon partner with Jared Kelmick, apparently. And Susa Jr. is just that guy. He provides power.

on base skill. Billy Hamilton's fine, but he's really just defensive replacement only. You really don't. He's really not going to help you that much at the plate. Sousa Jr. might. So I would send down Fairchild so you can play every day and call up Sousa Jr.

And until Lewis is ready, if I want to do a strict platoon with Kelnick, then that's what I'm going to commit to with Sousa Jr. Instead of somebody like Dillon Moore. Yeah, it's weird that he hasn't been, called up, right? Because like, the injury to Hanager.

Yeah, yeah, there was the thought there. He was teasing it on Twitter, but it never happened. But yeah, it's kind of weird because- Change of plans. Last minute change of plans. But yeah, like I get it like kind of, you know, from the Fairchild perspective that, you know, he was on the 40-man roster because they claimed him. They had to put him on the 40-man roster because that was the easiest.

So that was the easiest thing to do there was just to call up Fairchild. but Susa might actually help you right now. Like you said, like there's actually now with Hanager on the IL and we don't know when he's going to be able to come back. It's actually a path here for Susa to get into games fairly consistently and help you potentially. He brings you a veteran bat with some pop, like you said.

You know, he's not going to replace Mitch Hanigur, but maybe he can give you a little like a very, very poor man's version of Mitch Hanigur. if that makes sense. You know, so yeah. I agree with that. I would definitely pick Susa over Hamilton in this particular situation. Yeah, agreed. To make room for for Susa in this case, I have them DFA and Joey Gerber.

Doesn't really matter who you're DFA or who you're putting on the 60 day. I'll. Not that big of a deal. Is Joey Gerber even pitching right now? No. No. Still? Jeez.

Yeah. And that is why I picked him. anyway so last one i think you're going to like this one i know i like it i think this is one we'll both mutually like a lot okay it's time for jerry to go out and strike first to kind of

reinstill some some confidence in the clubhouse that we are not giving up on this season i know you guys aren't we're going to help you do that because jerry's going to pick up the phone and call the Pittsburgh Pirates for outfielder Ben Gamel and Chris Stratton

reliever Chris Stratton Yes from the pirates in exchange this is just what I have and Ty we can maybe point counterpoint this trade proposal a little fan fix from Friday on here

A little bit a little bit All right Wantane Justice Sheffield and Victor LaBrata Okay. For four months of Ben Gamal and what I believe is a year

plus the rest of this year plus next year for Chris Stratton. I haven't even kept up with what Stratton's doing this year. I assume he's been good. He struggled actually. Oh, really? Yes. He 4-760RA 158-8-1-58 whip,

11-strike us and 11-1-third. However, Ty, maybe just run on over to Chris Stratton's stat cast page and take a look at the categories and tell me that the Mariners can't turn that into something.

Here, let me... So again, this is a... Let me pull this up. This is a deal for a reliever in Pittsburgh who's making $2 million. We know Pittsburgh's cheap. It's also been Gamble who's made $2 million

as well. He was a free agent after this year. Stratton is a free agent after next year. they're not going to pay him. They're not going to offer him an arbitration after this year anyway. So essentially it's two rentals for Pittsburgh, and they get Juan Taine, who is an interesting arm at the very least, and he's still young. Justice Sheffield kind of Reclamation Project.

And Victor LaBrata, who has some fourth outfield upside, could be an everyday centerfielder of the bat breaks right. I think that's a reasonable offer for Engram. and Chris Stratton, if I'm being honest. And, yeah, Gamble's been really good this year so far. Very good. Like, very, very good. It's, the interesting thing about Gamble, too, is that he's not a, he's not a splits guy.

Ben Gamble has almost the exact same WRC plus against lefties as righties. I think they're both at night. I think against righties, he's 99 and against lefties, he's 98. Play him every day. he's in a bit of a break he's not he's not gonna slug 465 okay

it's never been who he is could he slug 400 and get on base 33 30 time yeah because that's who he is being it's a career 260 337 3992 hitter if you put that in the lineup

every day where's been gambling in this lineup tomorrow let's say they acquired tomorrow where's been getting in this lineup top five top four he's probably hitting five

Yeah, like legitimately. So I like to been, I'm sorry, I like to been Gamble call quite a bit. It's also a lefty. So if you want to send Kelnick down and you still want to kind of platoon him and Lewis, you can. But Gamble can play every day. Gamble, not a good defender. We know that. He'll make some flashy plays, but it's not because he has tremendous range.

But hey, you know what? You're running Jesse Winker out there daily right now? Are you really going to notice a difference? So I personally, you know, I'm going to pat myself on the back. I love this idea. I don't know if the trade cost is right. I have no idea. But Ben Gamble and Chris Stratton make a ton of sense for the Mariners,

and we know the pirates are going to sell eventually. It doesn't matter if it's now or in July. You might as well trade now and try and get maximum value for Ben Gamble, who is ultimately really a fourth outfielder. But if you can get Juan Taine and Victor LaBrata for Ben Gamble, I don't think that's too bad if on Pittsburgh I think that's pretty interesting So you mentioned checking out

Stratton's stat cast page so I'm going to list some of the numbers here 85th percentile in hard hit rate 93rd percentile in X Wilba 93rd percentile in XERA 80th percentile in X batting average 92nd percentile in X slugging 93rd percentile in barrel rate 90th percentile in walk rate

77th percentile in chase rate 100th percentile in fastball spin, 99th percentile and curveball spin. And that's a lot of fun. I've been pounding the Chris Stratton table for the last couple years. Let's make it happen. Let's do it, Jerry. It just feels right.

Chris Stratton feels like a Mariner's pitcher. Absolutely. He just does. He's a Mariners pitcher. He just does not know it yet. All right. So I like that deal. I really do like that deal.

That's a really good idea. especially with Gamble hitting the way that he is. Yes, yes, yes. Here you go. There you go. Right there. Give yourself one right there. Just make sure you don't break your arm doing it.

But let's, we got to talk about the game tonight. Hopefully the Mariners can get back on track. They got their number one starter on the mound. So hopefully that will help. But he hasn't been getting it going really just yet. But maybe tonight. We'll talk about that in just a moment. But real quick, a reminder of this episode of Lockdown,

Mariners is brought to you. Rock Auto with the ever-increasing numbers and makes and models, it's now impossible for your local chain auto parts store to stock all the parts you need. Why in dirt often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning like is your Odyssey an LX or an EX and wait while the person behind the counter orders the parts on their computer, choosing the only brand their warehouse happens to carry? You have computers with access to rockado.com at home and in your pocket. So why choose to spend 30%, 50%, even 100% more for the same parts from a chain store or car dealership?

For example, like Honda Odyssey fuel pump, it's $353 from a chain store, whereas with Rock Auto, it's only $216. Plus, Rock Auto is a family business, serving Do It Yourselfers for over 20 years, and their prices are reliably low for every customer. So go to Rock Auto.com right after you're done listening to us and see all the parts available for your car or truck. Right, locked on in there, how did you hear about this box so they know we sent you? Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need, Rock Auto.com. So we got Robbie Ray on the bump, as I said, going up against Aaron Nola. So a battle between number ones. Well, it depends on if you view Nola or Wheeler as the number one for the Phillies.

I would personally view Nola as the number one. Just better track record there. But it is. It is better track record, though. Wheeler is. Wheeler's been pretty good the last two or three years. Really just last year, right? Because like he's been hurt for the most part, right?

like in his career? Was 2020 good for him? Yeah, he said some in. Anyways. I digress. So let's talk about Aaron Nola here, who's off to a pretty solid start with Philly. It's going to be a fastball, curveball changeup situation coming from him.

Opponent's sitting 120 off of the fastball, 162 off of the curve ball. 370 off of the change up, though. 39.1% whiff rate on the curveball for Aaron Nola, though. What are you hoping to see for the Mariners' offense going up against them? A run would be nice. Yeah, that would be a good start. Don't get no hits.

That'd be another. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting about Nola is that he hasn't been very good at avoiding the barrel, 27th percentile barrel percentage. The fastball doesn't have tremendous spin either. It's a pretty ordinary fastball. yet it's only going to be 92 93 miles an hour and yet it's incredibly difficult for

for hitters to square up with any regularity so yeah just it's kind of an interesting profile here because when you look at his stuff individually it's not like there's no crazy spin there's no crazy movement or anything really like that it's not crazy velocity either it's just very, very effective. And, you know, he did struggle a little bit in recent years.

He is susceptible to the home run ball. But he's a tough customer. And it's interesting, you know, that's well, curveball change up, but he kind of has three different fastballs. He's got a four seamer, two seamer. And I mean, Stackcast even registers a cutter for him that he throws about 7% of the time. That's a little bit too much for it. to be a statistical anomaly, right? If it was like 2% or something like that, we could say,

well, those are probably fastballs. But it's slower. It's only 87 miles an hour. He's starting for the last two years. So he's kind of got these three different fastballs that he can work with. You know, the sinker is about 91, 92. The fastball is 92, 93, and the cutter's about 86, 87. So yeah, he's just incredibly tough to string multiple hits. it's off of, you know, basically, which he's also not going to walk you. You're going to have to hit your way on. He's going to throw a lot of strikes. So, yeah, basically what it's going to come down to is, I honestly, can somebody park

a three-run, home run? Because that's kind of the way it's going to have to happen because, again, he's not going to walk you. The X numbers are all great. He strikes out plenty of guys. He just gives up a lot of hard contact. So can you take advantage of it? Well, we know the Mariners' bad of luck this year.

So I'm not feeling too confident about it. And then you stack on top of that there, just overall performance. You know, you never know. I mean, last year the Mariners put five up on Shane Bieber randomly in May. So maybe that's tonight. I don't, or maybe it's Friday against Max Scherzer. So, yeah, it's going to be tough sledding tonight. That would be what the Mariners would do.

just get absolutely shut down by Ranger Suarez last night and then go against Max Scherzer later on in the week and score six, seven. Six, yeah. Yeah, also I was looking at Zach Wheeler's numbers. So, you know, obviously had the 7.3 F.4 win last year. Two wins

in the shortened season, 4.6 the year before that, 4.2 the year before that. And then obviously had some injuries. And now he's on the COVID list this year. So he's the number one in Philly? Well, I don't know. I mean, Nola's,

Nola's been really good, man, and he eats a lot of innings. And he's had more consistent health. I'm just saying, Chris Flexen eats a lot of ending. Chris Flexen threw more endings last year than, you know, Chris Flexis. Robbie Ray, so. Chris flexen is Chris Flexen, but, you know.

The disrespect to Chris Flexen. Chris Flexen and Aaron, no. No, he's certainly. He certainly is not. Yeah. But, yeah, so it would be nice to see the Mariners, you know, put up a more competitive effort tonight and maybe string together some competitive efforts.

I'm not even talking about wins at this point. Just competitive efforts. I just want to be interested for more than three innings at a, you know, at a time now. Sure. Last night, got to be real with you. Turn the game off after about the fourth inning. It was once a guy. to 6-0.

I was like, okay, yep, that's, that's gonna be it for me. And sure enough, yeah, I didn't miss anything.

I did not miss anything upon review. By the way, quick notes before we sign out here, Sergio Romo is in the game for the rainiers right now. So that's a good sign. J.P. Crawford is going to be in the lineup tonight. This is from Scott's service.

Revenge game, baby. Hopefully. And then Mariners will counter, the Mets who are going to roll out Scherzer, Bassett, and Carrasco, their counter is going to be Marco Gonzalez, George Kirby, and Robbie Ray. So they're going to have, they're going to have Marco faced Max Scherzer. Oh, boy.

Oh, no. Oh, no. It looks like we're going to get Kirby versus Bassett, though. That's fun. but that means that I'm not going to see Kirby in Toronto though no or Ray you're getting flexing oh no so I'm getting Gilbert flexing that's pretty good and what Marco Marco

yeah it's not bad I could do worse yeah the Gilbert one is nice the Gilbert start for sure is nice oh yeah also worth noted that's on Monday right believe so yes watch roster moves guys if somebody magically gets sent down, mysteriously gets sent down and doesn't make a lot of sense, that's probably a COVID issue. So just something to keep an eye on. If somebody goes on the restricted list, that's what it means.

And we were already expecting one big name to be on that list. We'll see if anybody else joins them. Yeah, yeah, we'll see. Let's just say there might be a reason that certain pitcher is pitching for the Mariners on Sunday rather than in Toronto. we'll see we'll see we'll we'll see if that actually rings true i wonder they could figure that out yeah there yeah yeah pretty big clue yeah yeah exactly but there have been rumblings about that so we'll see if that actually rings true come monday uh but yeah definitely keep an eye out for that when that time comes but that's a bridge we'll cross at a later date um we'll also have to figure out

scheduling stuff uh for those episodes because i am going to be going to those those games um don't believe that I'm going to be covering the games necessarily just think I'm going as a fan I haven't really heard anything back from the blue jays on that front so but yeah we'll we'll probably have to switch some things around but we'll let you know keep uh keep an eye on our Twitter for all that uh we're also going to be doing a post game show tomorrow because the game uh between the Phillies it's a getaway day uh so that game is at 1240 local time um so we'll be on here recording after the game. We'll get that out shortly thereafter and all that good stuff. So we'll see you then. That's going to do a first show today.
