team being able to turn things around and recover from one of the most awful losses you could possibly suffer in a postseason game. And we're also going to get into the pitching matchups, of course, Luis Castillo versus Frambrer Valdez for game two. We also know that George Kirby is now starting game three. That was officially confirmed by Scott Service today. Service also said that Eric Swanson has been and is available out of the bullpen, which that makes last night's thing even more.

Neither he's lying. He's stupid. I was really hoping that we were going to hear that, yeah, actually Swanson is not available, but that would also create another argument about why was he on the roster in general. I digress. Last night sucked, but I do want to get a couple things out of the way here, including, you know, our emotions as a fan base coming off of that game and maybe going a little too far. with it. Now, it was brought to my attention that Paul Seawald didn't actually delete his Twitter

last night. It was about a week ago or so, at least according to Soto Mojo, and I don't keep up with players' social media profile. So I'm, I cannot confirm that, but that's what I've heard. And, but that being said, it is not cool whatsoever to attack players or coaches in any sort of manner whatsoever. This is a children's game at the end of the day. It is a game where you're talking about baseball. It does not have any impact on the real world. It's entertainment. Yes, it makes us really happy. We do get really invested in it. But some things are just taking it way too far and adding players on Twitter, threatening coaches, all that stuff. The players see it, by the way. Players do see it. So whether or not Paul Sewell deleted his Twitter because of it, it doesn't matter.

players do see it coaches still see it let's be better as a fan base it's just one game and it's just baseball at the end of the day it doesn't matter to that extent that's just way too far don't do it it's gross secondly on yesterday's show i listed a stat that was completely wrong and i failed you as a host it's on me as a host to be on my p's and cues when it comes to numbers when it comes to stats i said yesterday that you already an alvarez was hitting 833 against robbie ray which sounds ridiculous now that I'm incredibly emotional about everything that happened, but at the peak of my emotions yesterday, I reiterated that stat which I read on a Twitter account that I trusted, and I just went with it. And that's on me.

That's a huge mistake on my part. Thirdly, the other item that I want to cover here real quick, there's obviously been some talk about what the Seahawks and the Mariners will do about game times on Sunday. if there is a game four of the ALDS. We now know what the plan is there. So if there is a game four of the ALDS, which would be played at Team Mobile Park, the Cioxx are going to push their game back, kickoff for their game against the Arizona Cardinals

back by about an hour and a half. So it'll start at 2.30 Pacific time instead of 1 o'clock Pacific time. So with that out of the way, Colby, I am feeling optimistic. And I know you're not, but I'm feeling optimistic. I know you still think it's over.

But I'm just going to say real quick, vibes up, forks down, M's and four. Let's do this thing. And the reason why I'm optimistic about them getting back on track starting tomorrow is Frambert Valdez's history in the postseason. He's pitched a lot in the postseason over the last couple of years for the Astros.

Pitched a lot in the World Series. He pitched two games in the World Series last year against the Braves. Nine appearances, 43.2 innings pitched, 42 hits, 22 earn runs, 42 strikeouts, 18 walks, nine home runs. That's a 453 ERA with a 531 FIP. Opponents are slashing 259, 341, 457 against him. And look, he had 25 consecutive quality starts this year, whatever that number was.

But after that, after that streak ended, it's been a little shaky. Had a good start against the Phillies on the last day of the season. but you know everyone clenched at that point it's the Phillies he struck out 10 didn't give up an run but before that he had a couple of really shaky starts against the rays and against the Orioles and so I think you're you're facing him at probably the most opportune time to face Framber Valdez this season and your offense is rolling right now you know they were great against Verlander yesterday they were you know obviously great when they made the comeback against the blue jays they jumped all over Alec Madenoa in the first skis and the first skis

game. The offense is in a good spot right now. It's actually rolling, which is pretty incredible, considering how boom or bust this offense has been for most of the season. But right now, we're seeing the boom side of this offense. And it's coming at no better time. And right now, the Mariners basically have to ride that unit as far as it can take them. So I think with the way the offense is playing and the way that Framber Valdez is pitching and the fact that you have Luis Castillo, the guy that you traded for to be your ace. this year is going to be on the mound. I think the mayors are a good spot to bring this thing back one-one and head to Seattle

tied and head to Seattle with a chance to advance to the ALCS without having to go back to Houston. Not much of a chance. I mean, it's not even really a good chance you win tomorrow because, you know, Castile will go out there, go seven, give up two and they'll lose two to one. or Scott will go back to Robbie Ray to prove a point. And this time Kyle Tucker will get him because lefty, lefty, you just have to use a lefty against the left,

even though your best guy against a lefty is a righty. But he's available. Trust me, he's available. I just haven't used him because I guess I'm stupid. I don't know what the logic is behind. Was there a follow-up? Then are you brain dead, Scott? Like what walked me through Robbie Ray?

Because he said our process was great. That's a lie. You liar. your process was terrible. Your process was so bad that if I used the words I wanted to use, I wouldn't be on the show tomorrow. So, yeah. I'm sure a lot of people are ragging you on now to say those words.

So you're not on the show anymore. I'm sure, but it's not going to happen. You're stuck with me. But Scott, your process was poo-poo. All right. It was garbage. You folded like a cheap suit. Own it.

Move on. Say, I screwed up because you did. You did. Stop saying you didn't. You did. Best guy in the league you guys. lefties right there in your bullpen and you're like nah let's go with the worst with the worst arm i have in the highest leverage spot imaginable that's the way to go yeah screw you scott i'm

still mad at you um that being said for amber is uh you know like you said he's struggling a bit but he's a very very good pitcher he's right up there with uh you know with burlander in terms of it's it's a devastating one too it'll be interesting to see what the mariner decided to do with their lineup because you know this is the first lefty they'll face in the in the playoffs first lefty starter so do we see dillimore i assume so dillemore will probably start i would assume in left field um do we see louise turenz is he catching for cow raleigh is louise playing second base i mean it's a possibility i think you probably would rather have adam fraser at second base even against the lefty just because of the defense but but

but you're down one-nothing, you know, and can't be feeling too great about your bullpen right now. They've kind of imploded the last two games. So, you know, do you need to win a shootout? If you do, you might want the better bat. But Luis Castillo is a ground ball pitcher. So don't you want best infield defense you can get? It's kind of a catch-22 there.

And why, you know, why would you pitch? Has the bull pit imploded, though? Because it's like, Paul C-Wall gave up four, and then Paul C-Wall allowed the base runners on. and I mean like, Monios gave up a home run, but like that's two guys. Munoz wasn't good the last two times out.

Paul Seawald's been a train wreck the last two times out. You can't use Robbie Ray whatsoever. Brash has struggled a little bit. Now he's gotten through it, fine. But you've watched him. He does not look like the same guy. You haven't seen Swanson at all. So I don't know what the heck to think about Eric Swanson right now where he's at.

You haven't seen Boyd at all. So clearly they don't trust him. So yeah, I'd be worried about the bullpen. So how do the Mariners attack this? I think it's pretty much going to be the same lineup we've seen. I just think you're probably going to see Dylan Moore in left field. And then Turennes, it's hard to imagine they start him at second base in a playoff game.

And obviously you're not pinching Santana against the lefty. That's his better side. You're not pinching Thai France. He's been very good. So, yeah, I mean, it's pretty much Raleigh or bust. And are you going to take How Raleigh out of the lineup right now? probably shouldn't. So even from the right side,

that might come down to how his wrist is feeling or how his thumb is feeling though. So we'll see what they decide to do there. But I think Moore's going to get his first start. And I think if the Mariners are going to go back to Houston at 1-1-1, I think your dream of playoff demo might have to play out because they need something. They need something.

I'm making the shirts, man. One way or another, I'm making the shirts. I think the only way you can make the shirt is if he hits a home run off for Amber. Crawford boxes, I mean, he doesn't even need to get all of it. Just saying, you just got to pull a pot fly. Just got to pull a pot fly. Look at Yordons double yesterday.

79 miles an hour off the bat. 140 expected batting average. Only ballpark in America where that's a double. Were those two runs important? I don't know. I can't do math. Now, to be fair, Ty France also got one because of the Crawford boxes. That was more because Yordon Alvarez is a terrible defender.

so yeah and also by the way let's let's not overlook that terrible sin mani act i had that we've had runners on first and third with cow raleigh coming up against the struggling pitcher you're like nah let's get tie france thrown out by 15 feet at home plate for the vibes i guess what are you doing manny don't think i forgot about that either i know scott's taking a lot of the arrows for you right now that's also on you we could have been up like 14 to nothing but no he's competing he's competing he's competing he's completely He's a moron. If he thinks, he's a moron.

He's a moron. He thought Ty France was going to score on that. So, yeah, a very rough day for the Mariners coaching staff yesterday because their process was stupid. Their decisions were stupid. And they deserve to wear every single bit of that loss yesterday. But we're on to tomorrow. It's a new day, Ty says, because yesterday it doesn't count for anything, even though they needed

to steal a win from somewhere in the series. And they had the perfect opportunity to do it. They're going to do it tomorrow. For the fives. That's not a stolen win. That's a win. That's a win you need. You had to steal a win somewhere in this series. You had your chance to do it yesterday.

You didn't, which means now you either have to beat Verlander again, or you have to win a George Kirby start against Lance McCullors. Actually, you have to do both. Yeah. Great. Fives on. Fantastic. Forks down.

Forks down. I have no other choice about to be optimistic. They're going to play the games either way. I have no choice. I'm still going to watch, but doesn't mean I have to be optimistic about it. Listen, man, the theme of today's shows. Next segment.

The theme of today's show. Next segment. The theme of today's show is learning from our mistakes. Scott Service is going to learn from his mistake. We're going to learn from our mistake of doubting the Seattle Mariners. Doubt it.

Oh, you'll learn. You'll learn. You'll learn about learning from your mistakes on Sunday night. when the Mariners win in four now before we go to our next segment again vibes up forks down come on buddy

say it with me vibes up forks down say it's down as ties IQ next segment let's tell the folks about roan here I'm going to get you by the end of the show

I will get you I will get you by the end of the show I still got like 15 or so minutes to to wear you down. Tell the folks about Rohn. We all know that when you look good, you feel good. But sometimes looking good means putting on in comfortable fitting clothing that doesn't breathe and limits your mobility. The dress shirt in particular was due for a radical reinvention.

And Rone stepped up to the challenge. Rone's commuter shirt is the most comfortable, breathable, and flexible shirt known to man. And here's why. Firstly, mobility is everything. Roan's comfortable four-way stretch fabric provides breathability and flexibility that leaves you free to enjoy what life throws your way. Secondly, looking good is easy with Roan's styles. It's time to feel confident with a wrinkle-free shirt without the hassle. And with Roan's wrinkle-release technology, wrinkles disappear as you stretch and wear the shirt.

It's that easy. And thirdly, let's talk about Roan's odor-free tech. With gold fusion anti-oder technology, you'll be smelling fresh and clean all day long. And on top of that, Roan is 100% machine washable so you can ditch the dry cleaner altogether. I received a commuter shirt from Roan, and I got to tell you, it's one of the most comfortable things I've ever put on my body. The commuter shirt can get you through any workday and straight into whatever comes next. Head to Rhone.com slash locked on and use promo code to Locked on to save 20% off your entire order.

Thank you so much for making us your first listen. We're all viving here, folks, right? If you're listening right now, let me get an M's and 4 down in the chat. If you're watching it on YouTube, let's get an M's and 4.

Let's get a Colby Believe in the Mariners, fives up. forks down. We are going to wear him down by the end of the show. I promise you that. I promise you that. Because Colby, as much as it felt like Alvarez's home run last night,

counted for like 15 billion wins. It only counted for one. Asher has still got to win two. Still got to win two more. Out of four. Out of four? Yeah. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. It still have to win two games. Still have to win two games. Oh man, we're willing to find two wins against struggling George Kirby and Logan Gilbert and maybe three days rest Louis Castillo. Oh, no. You're going to pretend that he's not.

So Verlander's going to have to go on short rest. You win the next two games. Verlander's going to have to go on short rest on Sunday. Yeah, but you have to win the next two games to do that. What in the Mariners past makes you think that they can handle Lance McCullors? Because they've never done it before. Vives, Colby. Oh, the vibes are so good.

right now after you just... The vibes are immaculate because I've decided they are. The vibes are immaculate because I'm... You are the first team in playoff history to give up a walk-off home run in which your team was down by multiple runs and the vibes are good. Get out of here. That's incredible. By the way, that's an incredible stat.

I know, right? Right. The fact that's never happened before? What? I know. It's like the Cal Raleigh stat. They were like Cal Raleigh is the first player in MLB history to hit a pinch hit home run. to send his team to the playoffs.

Like, really? That's never happened before. I buy that more than the Yordaunt stat, though. Like, that one, like, seems like, that should have happened by now. Like, all the playoff games we've seen, all the drama we've seen, all the go-ahead homers and all that. Like, that never happened. Yeah, it's kind of weird. Like, you think about, like, Joe Carter's home run.

You think about Bill Maserosky in the 60s. You think about Kirk Gibson. And you're like, yeah. Yeah, none of those were multi, multi-run home runs, huh? Those are all solo shots? Aaron Boone's home run. Well, obviously, you know, like we know we're just listing famous home runs, but it's like out of every single clutch home run in postseason history

that we know about none of them did exactly what Yordans did. Like all of them were you either down by one or you were tied. Like that's every home run, huh? It's crazy. In the ninth inning, in the bottom of the ninth, their extra innings. It's crazy. Wow. Yeah.

But Colby, as Jerry Kellner said, we ain't tripping. We ain't tripping. He's your premise. He's not playing tomorrow. I'm not tripping. And the Marriers can't afford to be tripping, by the way. And because the Marriers can't afford to be tripping,

they can't care about any of this. They have to just move on. Again, they have no choice but to be optimistic about the situation because they have to play these games no matter what. You're trying way harder to sell your point than I am mine, which makes sense because mine is the correct one. It's over. It's done. It's toast.

Turn the lights out. I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. And I know he's doing a bit. I know he's doing. That's why I know that I'm going to get him because he is doing a bit. He is doing a bit. He might not seem like it.

But he is doing a bit. I'm going to break you into being optimistic about the Seattle Marriers. I'm going to break you emotionally. But in a happy way. not in this episode. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see.

I still got like 11 minutes. I'm looking at the timer up there in the left corner. So. Better get to it. Oh, man. Look, if the Marers don't care, Maris fans should not care about this. They have to move forward.

We all have to move forward. It's all in the past now. But you still have such a great opportunity here. You still have such a great opportunity here. You win tomorrow. You go back to Seattle and you don't have to leave Seattle if you don't want to. you do not have to go back to Minutemate Park if you win tomorrow.

I don't think that's the thing of a desire. I think that's more about execution. I'm just saying the last bit of sample size we have on the Seattle Mariners is that Scott Service can't execute. But again, offense is rolling right now. You got Luis Castillo going tomorrow. I believe in George Kirby.

Clearly, you just think because he's not to shut down the Astros. I mean, he doesn't need to shut down the Astros. I don't think, personal. I don't think he needs. If he can do what Logan Gilbert did yesterday. If he can do what Logan Gilbert did yesterday, which I don't think was necessarily shutting down the Astros.

He just had a good start. If he can do what he did, if he can do what Gilbert did yesterday, I think the Mariners are in a good spot to win that game. I think they are. Because also here's the thing, McCullors, yes, has historically just dominated the Mariners. But this year he's only pitched in eight games. He's been dealing with a lot of physical stuff.

And he's walking a lot of guys right now. The Mariners, they walk. Sounds like a lot of opportunities to ground into double plays. That'll be fun. They walk and they hit home runs. Colby. They hit until double plays. They're going to hit a lot of home runs on Saturday.

His Lance McCullors are extreme groundball pitcher I can't remember. He is. But he's only pitched eight times this year. He's only pitched eight times this year. He's only pitched eight times this year. He doesn't have the seasoning. He doesn't have the seasoning, man. He doesn't have the seasoning right now.

I think like the eight-year career is plenty of seasoning. But okay. Whatever. I mean, look, you got to get back into a groove. We all know this. We all know this about pitchers rehabbing. We all know this. He might not be on the top of his game on Saturday.

Two months isn't enough to get back into a groove. Look, man, it's eight starts. And he's been struggling with the walks. I'm just saying I can see an outcome here where George Kirby put together a start like Logan Gilbert did yesterday. And McCullors, you get to him for about three. Keep that game tied. And then you get into the bullpins and see what happens. And this is the part where you're going to be like, well, yeah, because you could dress the Mariners bullpen.

Whatever, man, whatever. I choose to believe in the Marriers because I don't have any other option. I'm not going to, I'm not going to sulk for the next few days. And if they do get eliminated, if I'm completely wrong, if I look like an idiot, I'd rather look like an idiot in this way instead of just being a complete pessimist. And the Mariners own me. I'd rather be optimistic about this team because, look, they've given me play play. of reasons to be optimistic they've been given me plenty of reasons not to doubt them because i've doubted them in the past this year and they've made me look like a giant big dummy which i don't really

need any help with that anyway but listen to your episode today hush you hush you i will break you in a nice kind way and in a in a happy friendly way and you and i will optimistically watch the mariners tomorrow as they win and again Ems and four. M's and four. Yeah, that's dumb. Ty, you sound a bit more, though. Maybe there's Bilt Bar or something that you could eat snack down on.

Let's wrap up this show with what does Luis Castillo need to do tomorrow? Straight. Like, obviously, like, you made the joke about, like, he needs to, you know, he'll go

seven scoreless, whatever, and they'll still lose two to one. But realistically speaking, just knowing what the offense is doing right now, taking into account some of Valdeza's struggles in the postseason and just as of late, what would you like to see from Castillo tomorrow? How can he best set up the Mariners to get this thing back to 1-1? Perfect game. needs to Don Larson it. How about that?

Don Larson and Bill Maserosky drop on the same episode. Look at you. Jerry DePoto would love this episode as a baseball historian. These drops, these drops. It's incredible. It's incredible. I'm pretty sure I have a signed Bill Maserowski photo on my desk on the winner, but yes. Give away?

Give away, question mark. Yeah, anyways. Pretty much has to do what he did in Toronto. You got to get the lead off guy. You got to get them off the bases. You can't have, you know, yesterday Houston generated a lot of traffic, even when they weren't scoring runs. Leadoff guy got on four or five times.

I think they scored in four of those instances. So you have to keep the lead off guy off the bases. You always have to be in a position where you're only one pitch away from getting out of things. So he pretty much has to do what he did in Toronto. Throw a lot of strikes, get guys off the bases early, avoid the hard contact, limit the extra base hits as much as you possibly can, basically dominate and hopefully go like eight innings

because I don't know who to give the ball to right now because frankly they all kind of suck. And I don't trust Scott's service to pick the right one anyway. So I don't know. Maybe Luis Torrance is out there. You rather have him out there pitching to Yordon than I would. Hey, Dominican big boss who descended upon us

from the heavens yesterday. generated two double play balls. Only got one double play out of it, but generated two double play balls. So then you only generated one. Anyways, Castillo has to be very good. You and your numbers and your logic, I don't like you. I don't appreciate you tonight. Yes, well, Louise Castillo has to be, he has to be really good.

I mean, there's just no way around it. You're not going to win this game if Cassio can only go five innings. I don't care if he goes five shutout innings. If, you know, he's at 110 pitches after five and you have to pull him, like, you're going to lose. you start like you have to get deep in this game because the mariner's bullpen right now it's it's not deep enough all joking aside you can't trust paul seawald you can't trust robbie ray do you really really trust Diego castillo yet do you yeah you shouldn't andres munoz has been onrhus has been top ten anime character andres moonios has been

pretty darn bad his last two times out brash looks a little overwhelmed at times but you could still use brash fine but they won't even touch matt boy So do they trust him at all? And why is he on the roster if you're not going to use him? I don't get it. So yeah, it's hard. Festa, do you trust Festa in a big spot? I guess you could use Eric Swanson,

but we know Scott's service isn't going to use Eric Swanson. That would be too smart. So I don't really know what to tell you. Castile's got to go six, seven, eight innings. He's got to be efficient. He's got to avoid hard contact. He has to put the Mariners on his back, much like he did, you know,

in Toronto and it'd be sure be nice if the mayors could do what they'd done in two of the three games in the playoffs so far and get an early lead. That would help a lot. Not that it helped yesterday, but, you know, it's in the past, I guess. It is.

It is, Colby. It's already happened. And you know what, man? Same result as if you lost one nothing. Same result as if you lost 20 to nothing. Not true. It all counts for one win.

It all counts for one win. Not true. You know, because the way that you lost, yeah, it sucks. But hey, you have no other choice but to move on. You don't even believe that. You don't have any choice to move on. But you don't have any other choice but to move on here, man. No, you don't, but I don't have to.

I'm not a player. I can sulk as much as I want in the past. I'm a fan. That's what fans do best. Too bad. They look at the past. Too bad. We got to look forward, man.

I will look forward. No, I'm not. We're on to game two. We're on to game two. You are. I'm not. I'm on game. game one and then tomorrow when we do our post game show i'll be looking back at game two

always looking over your shoulder if you guys want us to be looking ahead check out today's control the zone episode on patreon because we are not talking about this game because i don't want to be in a bad mood all day so we are not talking about yesterday's game we're going to be talking about some offseason stuff we're also going to be talking a lot about the seahawks on there and and maybe even the cracking which by the way cracking season opens tonight. Colby's not going to be able to watch it. Though you said that you found a workaround for that, right? Nice. I can't if I want

to, but I'm going to put as much effort into watching the Cracken as the Cracken put into me watching them last year, which is none. Go Cracken. Shout out to Lockdown Cracken. Shout out to Erica. And hoping for a win tonight against the Ducks. Let's go, boys. It's hockey season. Let's go

boys. Yeah. I'm over the Canada jokes. I guess I couldn't break him by the end of this episode. Colby's unbreakable. He's uncillable. Colby Pat don't be killed. Wow, that's not true. Unless they win game too, then I'll criticize you for not being optimistic enough because that's just the way I roll.

So go Luis Castillo. Make it so Scott's service can't be a moron. Go nine innings. Only throw 95 pitches. I'll allow you to give up like two or three hits. I think that's fair. But that's it. Only single.

So no extra base hits. That's off limits. obviously you have to try and find a way to win one nothing hopefully off an error by like Jose Altube because that's the only way it's going to happen me personally though I've decided M's and 4 so let's get an M's and 4 chat let me get M's and 4 down in the chat

okay and uh this was a completely unhinged show and also a Colby shut up be optimistic for once in your life let's also get that in the chat now I didn't need to actually ask any of you to do that Have you ever needed to prompt anybody to take shots at me in the chat? No, no, no, not at all, not at all. But you guys know what to do.

It's your thing. It's your thing. You know, you're playing your role. Criticize behind the keyboard, but know that you need me because I'm the guy that keeps bringing you back to the show because you hate my guts. You're welcome. All right. I say the things that everybody's thinking, but don't want to say. That's true.

That's true. No, actually, I saw a couple comments last. night that we're like you know Colby's saying exactly what I felt and see there's an audience for everyone folks there's an audience for everyone I am the hero you need but not the one you deserve or is it the other way around whatever everyone gets that line wrong I'm Batman see nailed it hey what do you what are you serving for dinner justice there you go good one all right The most unhinged show you've ever done. Yeah, that caps off the most completely unhinged show.

This is our actual personality. This is what control of the zone sounds like most days. So if you like this, subscribe to our Patreon because this is what it is. We're all over the part. It's being overly optimistic and trying to break Colby and to being optimistic with me and failing constantly. It's, we've explained this before on CTZ. If you guys are familiar with Parks and Rec. I am Ben Wyatt.

Ty is Chris. Yep. You know, from like early season three. You know, where they both lightened up. That reminds me. I have a message for Scott Service,

Robbie Ray and Paul Seawald. Oh boy. Scott Service. You are amazing and wonderful and I love you. Robbie Ray, you are amazing, wonderful, and I love you.

But I kind of hate you right now. But I love you still. Paul Seawald, you're amazing, wonderful, beautiful. and you're a sprinkle of sunshine. Yeah, none of that's true. That's going to do of our show.

Thank you so much for joining us here. I'll be back to all tomorrow, guys, trust me. Yeah, yeah. Well, we'll see how tomorrow's game goes. True. That's true. Yeah, it's going to be very dependent on how tomorrow's game goes. We just lose.

I'll be back to normal. They lose because they put Robbie Ray back in the game. Now, if they put Robbie Ray in the game and he strikes out like three and doesn't give up any hits or runs, how do you feel? Same? Yes. Wow. It really is true.
