Starting point is 00:00:00 As 2025 comes to a close, we're going to reflect on a big year for us and for the Mariners. Colby, hit it. You are Locked-on Mariners, your daily Seattle Mariners podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. Ahoy, Sailors, it is Wednesday, December 31st, 2025. You're listening to the Lockdown Mariner's podcast for the Lockdown Podcast Network. the number one sports podcast network. My name is Tiding Gazzalas, and I'm joined as always by my co-coast Colby Patnode. We're two Lifelong Mariners fans who've been covering the team for over half a decade.
Starting point is 00:00:38 And today, it's our final show of 2025. So we're going to look back on one of the greatest seasons of Mariners history and our best year yet here on lockdown Mariners. But before we do, I want to shout out our title sponsor today, Fanduel. If you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit fanduel.com and place your NFL live bets all season long. It's been a long year. Colby from the carryover of last year's garbage off season, which turned out to be okay-ish because Tori Polanco kind of saved it in retrospect, but just dealing with all of that, going into the season with pretty low expectations for this club because of how
Starting point is 00:01:22 the off-season went, and then being taken on this incredible ride, especially from September onward where like they just kept winning all the way to game seven of the ALCS unfortunately you know we all know how that ended but it was in many ways the best
Starting point is 00:01:44 season of Mariners history and another is at least one of the best seasons of Mariners history and yeah we did a lot of reflection on the year after the season was all said and done but we didn't really talk about our favorite moments that much because I
Starting point is 00:02:00 wanted to save that for an episode like this and it's the final day of the year so no better time than now to uh to kind of do that so looking back on the 2025 mariner season where's some of your favorite memories yeah there's obviously like big moments and like the playoffs are going to take up most of that conversation but i always enjoy like thinking about those random just like what moments like the random stretch where leotie taveris was like the clutches player on the planet you know big home run in in chicago game time hit in his debut he made like this incredible catch against the astros and yeah the rest of the time was not very good but that we have a big hit against the uh the blue jays i believe he did yeah yeah um yeah anyways uh yeah i mean like in the
Starting point is 00:02:50 series where they got they got swept in seattle yeah probably uh speaking of you know rowdy going off in Toronto was hilarious and that was literally his entire value for the whole season yeah I saw that I saw Ben Williamson's
Starting point is 00:03:05 only home run of the year in Toronto Miles Master Boney's ridiculous catch to not win them in the game but advance the game deeper into extras in Texas yeah
Starting point is 00:03:16 it's those little weird things where it's just like these players who 10 years from now we're going to be like oh yeah that guy was on the team that you know those are always fun
Starting point is 00:03:25 but I think, you know, more than anything, you remember the big moments. And obviously the storyline of 2025 is Cal Raleigh. Like any way you want to slice it. We witnessed probably, you know, the greatest offensive catcher we've ever seen, not only beating, you know, catcher records, but shattering them. So, and honestly, we saw something we'll probably never see again. It is incredibly rare, and it is awesome to think back. And, you know, I would love to have paid it off with the World Series,
Starting point is 00:04:04 but getting into Game 7 of an ALCS, it's a pretty good payoff. And, you know, the fact that it came on the heels of, like, Cal committing to you after that disastrous off season, it would have been very easy for him to be like, no, what are we doing? I'm not interested in sticking out here long term. So, yeah, 2025 is the year of Cal Rale, even though. The team didn't pay it off with a World Series title and, you know, the voters wouldn't even give them the MVP award. So, yeah, it's it's kind of a bummer that it ended the way it did, but 2025 is definitely the year of Cal Raleigh.
Starting point is 00:04:37 And there's just so many Cal moments to think back on. I mean, the best one for me was a whole stadium chanting MVP when they're down, what, 2-0 against the raise against Griffin Jacks and he goes yard, you know, into deep right center field. That was an MVP moment. there were so many moments where like that's an MVP moment where the whole state you know they're blowing out the Rockies they're going to win the division but the whole stadium just wants to see one more home run from Cal they want to see him hit number 60 and he comes out there and he does it like that's MVP stuff the whole you know stadium and rogers center and game one when they're down one nothing you know Kevin Gosman is dealing and the whole stadium of rogers center is you know booing Cal and you know there's people in my section chanting that judge is better and Vlad he's better and all this stuff and he shuts them all up with that game tying home run and the you know merrists wind up going on to win that game uh you know i think kind of gets overlooked but uh cal hit the big home run in game five to tie that game uh before gno won it with his grand slam and you know the
Starting point is 00:05:49 the like it's almost impossible to like what's your favorite cow raleigh homer there certainly you know plenty to choose from um but yeah like it is you know overall and i said this at the end of the year like when we look back at the 2025 season 10 15 years from now whatever it is we'll talk about two things we'll talk about cow raleigh and unfortunately we will be still talking about dan wilson and how he managed that game seven it's just the way it goes you know that that is unfortunate but that is the way it goes um you know when we talk about the 2014 Seahawks, we talk about Marshawn Lynch and we talk about the decision to throw from the one. That's the whole season boiled down to two things and that's just the way it goes.
Starting point is 00:06:33 So, yeah, Cal was incredible in 2025. We'll probably never see it again from any catcher. But yeah, it was kind of the, I guess it was kind of the year that Cal Raleigh became a household name, which is awesome and well deserved on his part. Obviously, he wasn't the only one who had a great year and a lot of memories formed by or forged by other players that I'm sure we'll talk about here. But 2025 is about Cal Rolley. There's no question about it. Yeah, you saw the brand take off in real time. You saw Major League Baseball really start to get behind him and push him, you know, to the forefront of like their marketing campaigns and all that, you know, especially around the All-Star game when he was in the home run derby and all that. Also him winning the
Starting point is 00:07:22 home run derby, you know, and beating Brent Rooker by like a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a foot or whatever it was. They were that accurate, yeah. Yeah, yeah, totally. The fix was in. And for once, it was for the Mariners, which is crazy to think about. But yeah, that was a lot of fun. I mean, again, there's just so many Cal moments too many to name on this show.
Starting point is 00:07:43 But, yeah, I mean, like, I mean, another one, you know, near the start of the season where he, you know, he had like six home runs in a week. against like the Reds and the Rangers like that was crazy like and that's kind of like when you started to know like oh this is this is different this is different from Cal like Cal was already you know very special Cal was already to me the best catcher in the game Cal to me was already the best catcher in Mary's history but he took it up to another level and you could tell like fairly early on that this was going to be pretty special we didn't know that it was going to be 60 home run special I mean there were so many times over the course of the
Starting point is 00:08:22 that we just doubted that he was going to get to that next milestone. But it became pretty apparent that, like, he was going to challenge, you know, Salvador Perez for the catcher record. And, you know, eventually that got broken a lot quicker than we expected. And then it started to become, like, what else can he do? You remember that one of the few blowups, blowup games that Bizarro had in Cincinnati? And then the Mariners hit back-to-back jacks, I think, to tie it. And they wanted an extras.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah, yeah. So, you know, there's always those fun little moments that happened so early in the year. Like all the focus is always on September and October, rightfully so. You know, it's not hard to say what to see why that's the case. But there are some moments, you know, how about when they beat a Brayu twice? Yeah. You know, yeah, the comeback against the Astros at home, you know, the Grand Slam by Randy, the walk off walk. Julio going to right field on the 99 on the lower outside corner. And then he did it again in Houston against DeBray you to tie that game up.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Like how about vanquishing the Astros finally? That's what I was going to say was my favorite memory of all of 2025 was going down to Houston and smoking them. Not just overcoming them, not just beating them and winning the division, smoking them. I don't know. It was cathartic, I guess. It was a weight off your shoulders. And it was just kind of like, it felt good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I mean, like you've been going toe to toe with them. And you'd won some season series, and, like, obviously the team, like, they weren't afraid of the, they weren't intimidated by the Astros. That had ended, you know, a couple of years ago, something I don't think Scott Service ever got enough credit for was kind of ending the mystique of the Astros. Like, oh, we're playing the Astros. That's going to be tough. And over the last three or four years, it's been like, oh, we're playing the Astros, awesome. Like, we're going to take it to them. And, you know, for them to finally slay that dragon in their home ballpark and just see the will be sucked.
Starting point is 00:10:21 out of the, you know, out of the Astros players and all that. It really was a monumental series and it was, you know, it was awesome. It was one of the more important series, regular season series in franchise history going in. And it ended up being arguably the most important series and, you know, franchise history coming out of it. So it's awesome to see and it was a lot of fun and the anxiety of the buildup of, you know, hey, they play the Astros in 15 days. They better not sleep on these other teams, but that probably decides the division, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:10:56 If they could just take two of three, if they could just go in there and only be a game back and try to win that division. And then they swept and it was basically over at that point. It was, it was awesome. And definitely way up there on the, you know, on the importance scale of 2025 and the memorable scale of 2025.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Do you remember, I forget if it was game one? or game two, Joe Espato was like crashing out over something. I think someone got ejected. Do you remember what that was about? I don't off the top of my head. But it was it was it was that moment though that I realized like, oh, we got them. They're spiraling.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Yeah. And, you know, they just lost Yorda on like a few days before. Yeah. Which I'm sure Astro fans who sometimes watch our show randomly. I'm sure they're screaming. Only when they win, though. yeah yeah convenient right yeah uh they're spirally no we weren't healthy we were yeah well whatever you're not division champs either so our rotation wasn't healthy yeah i don't know what to tell you
Starting point is 00:12:01 uh you gave up a grand slam to jp crawford like that that that's on you like yorda alvarez is your best pitcher too i don't know what to tell you but uh yeah it was it was awesome to see and yeah obviously 2026 a big focus will be on doing it again and you know keeping the Astros down and making this your division officially, but 2025, at least for that three-day stretch, you were kings of the division
Starting point is 00:12:28 and then you wrapped it up a few days later against what is, to this day, one of the worst baseball teams I've ever seen play the Colorado Rockies, but yeah, awesome times. Speaking of that road trip, Colby, coming up, I'm going to tell you the funniest moment of the entire

I think the funniest thing that happened all year is Josh Naylor jumping up to break up the double play and taking a ball off the dome, but sure. Oh, that was that was pretty
Starting point is 00:15:22 funny too. Yeah. Yeah, no, Adam Fraser is funny. Sure. Um, moment of failure is the funniest sure went up. Um, I mean, yeah, I mean, it's very mariners. And look, in hindsight, it didn't matter at all. So we can laugh about it. Sure. I mean, had they not had, you know, that was Matt Brash too, by the way. Had he not Cernard that homer, really cheap Homer, you know, the Mariners probably would have won that game and it would have, they would have won 18 in a row in September. So like that's, that's nuts. Yeah, the Adam Frazier revenge game, sure. Wrapping that ball around the left field foul pole, the only spot in Kansas City that that guy could hit a home run out. If you could have seen my face when I watch that happen.
Starting point is 00:16:11 and you and you know how anxious I was about that entire series. Yep. Yeah. There was that one game where they got out to a big lead and I was like, oh, Ty is very afraid of this. And then they got it to within like four. And I was like, oh, no, Ty, Ty's crashing out. And they ended up winning that game, I think, by like five or six.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, I think they were up like eight to one. I was more nervous for that. Yeah, I know Ty was more nervous for that than you were for the Astro series. Yeah, I still vote for the Nailer thing. Speaking of Nailer, greatest trade deadline acquisition in Mariners history? Yeah, yeah. I mean, now granted, I'm not the big Mariners historian,
Starting point is 00:16:57 but a lot of the deals I remember the Mariners making at the deadline weren't very good. You know, the Chase and Faratex one comes to mind, uh, immediately. Uh, now, you know, obviously, you know, Randy Rosa Rana was a great deadline edition and Luis Castillo was a great deadline edition. They've been very good at that recently, but, you know, I think Randy, you didn't make the playoffs with Randy, like the year that you acquired him. And Josh Naylor was such a huge part of, of that and was so incredible in the playoffs, uh, after you acquired him and all that too, uh, that I, I think, you know, it's possible to say
Starting point is 00:17:37 that we witnessed the greatest, you know, off-seat or trade deadline acquisition in Mariners history. And that's no disrespect to Luis Castillo, who also is definitely on that list. But, yeah, Josh Naylor, what a deadline. And it was almost that much better. They almost landed Duran. And I can't help but think they have been able to push that across the finish line.
Starting point is 00:18:00 We might be having a different conversation today. But, yeah, it was an incredible deadline. line after a terrible off season and, you know, Jorge Polanco breaking out and he had some huge hits and at times he was your best hitter. And so it really was kind of fun to see the Mariners go after and, you know, actually break their rules and go after rentals and to have those guys coming and perform right away. And, you know, I know the numbers weren't great, but the day they traded for Gino was obviously
Starting point is 00:18:30 massive and something that team really needed, just to, you know, lift the spirits and whatnot. so yeah it was it was a really good deadline too and that was fun to cover on our end but yeah josh nailer i mean the dude is already probably going to be named top 50 mariner of all time like how insane is that but uh hashtag writing with rodney but uh yeah it's it really isn't saying the the summer of josh nayler uh is something else we'll talk about uh long after we talk about cal raleigh and and dan wilson speaking of funny josh nailer things right you mentioned him you know jumping into the double play all that how about just having like becoming a stolen base machine out of nowhere hilarious
Starting point is 00:19:17 by the way that uh that royals game yeah so they were up nine to nothing that it was nine to one then they got another run and then it was 10 to 1 then it was 10 to 3 then it was 10 to 5 remember that was the carter jensen game yeah and i'm like oh no no it's 10 to 5 I'm like did Bryce Miller start that game too I think it was Logan
Starting point is 00:19:43 it was Logan I was Logan against Waka yeah the and the final score was it was 12 to 5 yeah yeah so it all worked out in the end but I was never got within a swing of the bat but tie was panicked
Starting point is 00:19:58 yeah they brought in Luke Jackson who gave up two runs and I'm like oh no oh no and then Gabe came in and I think they if I'm not mistaken they had a couple runners on and Gabe like shut that down and I was like oh my God and then
Starting point is 00:20:13 Emerson Hancock came in and I'm like oh no oh no and uh clean any clean inning for Emerson remember when Hancock came in and 10 to 1 or whatever in game 2 it's Ron yeah yeah yeah he went two innings right I think so yeah
Starting point is 00:20:31 like I think he threw two scoreless innings he just walked like four two oh yeah speaking of funny things how about like emerson hancock having like a really nice start in cincinnati and then a really nice start in fenway when we're like those are terrible matchups for him yeah yeah i mean you know we're almost done with our show and we haven't even mentioned julio rodriguez uh who had another great year and yeah uh obviously i think you know jerry depoto has pointed this too like a big turning point for this entire season was the Julio Rodriguez game, you know, in Atlanta, where he put the team on his back and get the two big
Starting point is 00:21:10 home runs. And it kind of, right after you can trace their, there, you know, rise the next day, they beat the snot out of the Braves on that weird Roku game. And then they were just off. And so, you know, the Julio breakout there. And Julio had a nice little, a couple big, you know, playoff moments, too. So that was, you know, good to see. And Julio kind of starting to beat those allegations of like he's not clutch which based on the numbers has always not been true but like because he's a superstar we hyper focus on the times he didn't come through versus when he did well and a great example of that too is like you know look game seven didn't end well for him it was obviously not a good at bat to end game seven or the alcs but the way he started that game
Starting point is 00:21:54 though you know the double down the line and then he hits a homer his his next at bat or third at bat I think it was the next step. Either way, like, Game 7 Julio was kind of a thing. Again, I know it didn't end well, but like Game 7 Julio was kind of a thing. And in general, I think the best most encouraging thing
Starting point is 00:22:14 that came out of 2025 with this club was that in the biggest moments of the entire year, your stars, more often than not, were stars. You know, another guy that we should mention as well, real quick, a couple of guys that we should mention, you know, because there were so many injuries
Starting point is 00:22:30 in the rotation, you know, guys just didn't perform up to our expectations, you know, like Logan Gilbert over the course of the year, you know, George obviously missed the first month of the year and that kind of derailed things a little bit for him. But like Brian Wu stepping up goes on that incredible streak, puts up ace like numbers, makes his first all-star team, finishes top five in American League's young voting. And remember, this is a guy that, you know, had multiple Tommy John surgeries in his past, put up bad college numbers and only a couple of years later in 2025 establishes himself as one of the best pitchers
Starting point is 00:23:07 in all of Major League Baseball and did it at a time where the mayor is absolutely needed something like that to swing in their direction. Now, Louis Castillo, obviously, you know, it got ugly at times over the course of the year, but like for the most part, again, like we said, he was the stabilizer and it was like, it really, truly like, this isn't an exaggeration many times over the course of the year I thought to myself like where
Starting point is 00:23:32 the hell would this team be if they traded him last off season yep yep and again you know we've mentioned them in passing but how about the breakout of Pizarro
Starting point is 00:23:45 in the big year he had and also kind of the reemergence of both Matt Brash and Gabe Spire to really kind of you know solidify the back end of that Mariner's bullpen, which was a question mark going into last year. Now, you know, the other four guys in the pen, you know, it was kind of a revolving door. Bargis was okay, like, but, you know, they, they, it wasn't great, but yeah, the bullpen,
Starting point is 00:24:15 those four guys were really good. And, you know, also, by the way, funny moment. How about Trent Thornton rounding the bases in his scooter after they clutched? Yeah, yeah, yeah. get him back on a minor league deal um but uh yeah it was you know there are a lot of like unsung heroes and we could probably be like hey who's the who's just the unsung hero who's the most underrated player like underappreciated player um and i i think you and i both we did this a little bit and i think we both landed on like bazaardo spire yeah bazaar those guys um but you know i feel
Starting point is 00:24:49 like every player had a had a moment and that's kind of how you have to do this thing you have to to have players step up at random times and, you know, get these big hits. And even if the rest of their, their tenure was a disaster for you, they found a way to help win a game. And that's kind of how you have to do this thing. That's how every team does this. Even the big teams like the Dodgers, the Dodgers have their random, like, you know, whatever game. And, you know, the Blue Jays have their random Will Wagner game or whatever it is, right?
Starting point is 00:25:17 Like, it's just kind of part of baseball, it's what makes baseball so great is that you never know who will and who can and will step up when you least expected. And the Mariners certainly had a large number of those moments this year. That was great to see. So it's an exciting year with a lot of fun memories. We could probably sit here for, you know, four or five hours and be like, hey, you remember that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it's a great season. It was a ton of fun to cover. You know, again, it's Cal, it's Dan, but then there's so many things, the Julio game, the Brian Wu streak, the stabilization of Luis Castillo and, you know, Randy almost went 30-30 and that gets completely overlooked because he was so bad in the
Starting point is 00:26:02 playoffs and Cole Young had some absolute nukes out of nowhere that shocked people. Naylor went 20-30 as a first baseman as a second slowest guy in baseball. Like even Mitch Garber had some big hits for you. And, you know, Dylan Moore, we unfortunately witnessed the end of the Dylan Moore era. but that gave birth to the Leo Rebos era where Rebos had one of the biggest hits in Mariners history that we haven't even talked about yet on his birthday yeah yeah um so yeah it is kind of a wild uh season and and i'm sure what about the leo revas walk off against the cardinals some of that what have you done yeah it is um you know we could talk about how bad it was that you had to go to
Starting point is 00:26:45 14 innings to beat that dumpster fire of a team but sure let's you know sure let's focus on the positive here, Leo Rivas, what have you done? Yeah. So, yeah, it's just a lot of fun. And again, we could sit here for hours and miss something that somebody out there thinks was like the funnest or the best moment of the year. And that's how
Starting point is 00:27:04 you know it was a good season, is that we can't possibly talk about all the cool stuff that happened. Hopefully 2026 is better, though. That should be the goal. And you're listening to the Locktime Airs podcast, part of the lockdown podcast network, your team,

And, you know, the coolest moment for me or the moment that kind of like humbled me the most this year was, and obviously a big reason for this, like I recognize this is just like the mirrors went on and saying postseason run is.
Starting point is 00:29:42 and like it's the mariners right so people are very interested because the mayors never do anything like this especially like on the national scale people are going to be more interested than the merits than ever but you know there's these um charting websites which how accurate are they actually who knows but there's this charting website called rafonic and on there we were literally the number two podcasts baseball podcasts in the entire united states of america we were behind just john boy which i mean look whatever the case might be for that and whatever might have led to that still the fact that a little seattle mariner's podcast was number two among all the baseball podcasts and there's a lot of big ones you know from like effectively wild
