So let's get into the series. The Mariners today complete a three-game sweep over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim with an 11 to 7 win on Wednesday afternoon. And Colby, I felt like this series perfectly encapsulated everything the angels are and everything the angels have been for the last seven or so years.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Shohay Otani, one of the two, count them two, once in a lifetime talents on the Angels roster went four for five today. He was four for five. He was a double away from the cycle. And the Angels lost 11 to 7. And that feels like pretty much every headline for every Angels game. And I think anyone that is tuned in to us in the past knows how we feel about the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. So, Colby, I'll kick it to you and have some fun here.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Drag the Angels a little bit. I know everyone loves when you do that. Well, you know, I'm just, I'm a little bit bummed that the Angels didn't even show up. I mean, they sent the Salt Lake Bs out there, except for the ninth inning on Monday when it looks like they sent my five-year-old nephews T-ball team out to try and complete the victory there. So, yeah, I mean, I think I've seen better organization in a jimberie class. It was a disaster for Phil Nevin. The guy might be the stupidest human being in Major League Baseball, which is really saying something when you think about it. stuck with Aaron Loop for so long.
Starting point is 00:02:58 His team clearly gave up on him. How do you not challenge the two-two count that becomes a three-one count magically? Like you didn't realize it. You didn't think about it. Like, no wonder your team gave up on you. You're a joke. You know what? Jokes actually have value.
Starting point is 00:03:14 They bring joy to people. You're nothing. You're Phil Nevin. That's the worst compliment I can give you. You're Phil Nevin. You suck. And so does your baseball team. Joe Hottani is pretty good.
Starting point is 00:03:26 So, hey, you get to cheer about something once every three innings. But other than that, your organization is a joke. Your fan base is toxic as hell. I wonder if, you know, Major League Baseball is so concerned with expansion. I wonder maybe they shouldn't look at contraction and just, you know, dump the angels entirely. Nobody needs them. Nobody will miss them.
Starting point is 00:03:50 All the Angels fans will actually go back to rooting for the Dodgers. I know they're trying to be different and like, oh, I'm, I'm out there, man. I'm an angels, man. No, you're not. You're just desperate to be different than everybody else. Go for the Dodgers. They're better at everything than you are. It must be so frustrating to be a little brother in Los Angeles, of all places.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Well, not even really Los Angeles, because Anaheim is like Ellensburg to Seattle's Los Angeles. So let's just be pretty clear about that. Actually, you know what? That's an insult to Ellensburg. I like Ellensburg. So I don't know, Donald, Donald Washington to, you know, Seattle's Los Angeles. The two people who listen to us and Donald Washington are so mad right now. I don't know if the population of Donald is too, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:04:40 There's a pizza place there and a gas station and that's it. So, yeah, it's your joke. Like you're like the worst team in your entire state and that any sport, pick whatever sport you want. you know, charger fans laugh at you. All four of them. They think you're stupid. Like it's insanity how bad the angels are at literally everything. Professional underachievers, the angels are for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And we saw that once again. This week as the Mariners just, I mean, you know, yesterday they were getting perfected through five endings. They explode for eight runs from that point forward. the other night it seemed like the angels had that game pretty much in hand they were able to survive Luis Castillo got a couple runs off of them
Starting point is 00:05:30 somewhat you know thanks in part to Julio Rodriguez and Mitch McHenegger yes yeah just gifting them a home run gifting Luis Renhifo a home run you know it seemed like maybe they were going to be able to pull
Starting point is 00:05:44 that one out and then of course as you said you know as you mentioned the defense just wow we don't even need to get into that. That is the worst display in baseball history. That was embarrassing. Embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:06:02 If Angel fans, I want to say they deserve better, but they don't. But like, if I'm an angel fan, right? Like, how do you go on and just be like, yeah, this is okay. This is fine. Yeah, we just totally, we just need to spend $200 million on Xander Bogarts and we'll be fine. Well, this will totally be fixed. Yeah, we just need to add another offensive star, and that'll do it. That'll fix it.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Sure. I mean, of course, we'll be so appealing to, you know, the sinking ship of the clown car, of the dumpster that is on fire somehow floating to the bottom of the ocean. But yeah, no, we'll be fine. We got this. Just think about how bad, like on Monday night, and I know we were supposed to talk about today's game, but we didn't get to talk about Monday yet, so we're going to do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:46 On Monday night, like you could say, can you believe that catastrophic mistake the Angels made? like one of the dumbest baseball mistakes in like the history of the game can you believe it and you literally have to go which one because they were like four or five yeah the mariner scored three runs on three balls that didn't leave the infield and what what makes it even worse is that like even after all of that right or most of that tie france hits a perfect double play ball right to the short the second baseman is standing on second base tie france is barely out of the batter circle Yeah. And they throw home. Not even well. It just, it's just mind-boggling. I enjoyed every single second of it.
Starting point is 00:07:28 You know, you say, oh, my God, don't you feel sorry for a professional athlete sometimes? Sometimes, never the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim. Stupid team, stupid name. You're not in Los Angeles. Like I said, you're in Donald of California. Get out of here. By the way. Call the Salt Lake B's.
Starting point is 00:07:45 You'd be better. My favorite of that whole sequence, though, was after, after all the, the errors when jesse winker hit the uh the sacrifice ground out i believe it was the shortstop vasquez fielded it and he was so spooked by all the errors everything that had happened he tripped over himself before throwing the first yeah i think it was rojas the third basement but yeah like rojas yes yeah that's even worse because that's an easier throw so it's just it's i mean it just yeah that that that team is in a that team is in a dark place right now That team is in a very dark place.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Like burn it down to the ground, including that trashy stadium, one of the worst aesthetic stadiums I've ever seen. It's so ugly in that stadium. Burn it down to the ground, you know, force Artie Moreno to sell the team. Like, how can Major League Baseball be okay with having a second team in the Los Angeles market and have it be like the absolute laughing stock of Major League Baseball? How is that okay? Make him sell the team. I hope they don't because I love laughing at them. But I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:08:55 That's a huge missed opportunity. I mean, yeah. Mike Trout just wasted his entire career and Shohei Otani can say whatever he wants. He regrets the decision he made five years ago 100%. He'll tell you no. Oh, absolutely. How can you not?
Starting point is 00:09:11 I, you know, I wouldn't change. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Yes, he would. Because Shohei Otani, not a moron. Made a bad decision. Not stupid. So he's leaving. I mean, if he signs back up for the Angels, then yes, he is officially stupid.
Starting point is 00:09:25 But he's not going to. He's going to go play for the Dodgers or the Giants, a real team. Not this, you know, I mean, I don't even know what to call it. Not this tee ball team. Watching the Angels play other baseball teams is like watching, you know, a dad playing eight-year-old in basketball and the dad shoots left-handed just to keep things interesting. that's all it is. The Angels are a joke.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I hope they cease to exist. And so the team that Otani spurned is now 11 games over 500, sitting comfortably in the first wild card spot in the American League. 11 games over 500 for the first time this season, by the way, just a couple months removed from being 10 games under 500. And that feels like an absolute eternity ago now at this point. But the Mariners looking pretty good. they're getting a much needed off day tomorrow before they go on to Oakland.

So the birthday boy today, Jesse Winker, had himself a home run, an impressive home run, catching up to a fastball near the top of the zone. That was nice. That was nice
Starting point is 00:12:08 to see. We saw a little bit of a new stance. Well, kind of a returning stance. You know, he went to the stance a little while ago, probably a month. month or so ago, then went back to his more, you know, leaning back stance. And now he's back to this, where the bat is more over his shoulder. Seemed like it worked out for him in this series. He collected a pair of hits in the first game and then hits the home run today, of course. So do you think that Winker is starting to turn the corner here a little bit? I feel like we've seen this before for, you know, a week or so at a time.
Starting point is 00:12:43 And then just right back to what it was. So I don't know. I'd hesitate to say he's turned the corner necessarily. It's nice that there are clearly mechanical changes. We'll see if he sticks with him because, again, we saw this kind of earlier and then he kind of reverted back a little bit. I wonder, you know, maybe we know he's been dealing with back issues. I wonder maybe that was part of the reason. So we'll see.
Starting point is 00:13:06 He's DH2 of the last three days, gets the day off tomorrow. I don't know how much left field we're going to see him play down the stretch. I actually don't think we're going to see it much at all, which, is ideal. So I think, you know, he's certainly been a lot better since April and May. And he's been good, pretty good for 10 days or so now. It's not just the series. So, you know, starting to believe it, starting to see it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Actually seeing physical changes helps believe it too. But I don't know if I would say that I'm like Jesse Winker's back. I don't know if I'm there yet. Let's see how he hits at home because his home road splits are. or something else. They really are. So we'll see how it goes at home. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:50 it's nice to have and he's, you know, you needed him today and, you know, for the last week or so because Julio has been all that great, not terrible, not great. Ty France has been terrible.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So you kind of needed somebody to step up and, and for a while, for a little bit there, it was Mitch trying to carry it. Now it's, you know, now Jesse and Mitch and JP's had a nice week, a nice road trip.
Starting point is 00:14:12 And, you know, Haggerty continues to find a way to, to produce and Frazier continues to have you know I think he's sitting like 320 since the start of the Padre series so you know it's
Starting point is 00:14:24 it's to the point now where you know you could legitimately put Adam Frazier as the leadoff guy and nobody would bat an eye yeah and he was the leadoff guy today collected a couple of hits also walked so good day for Adam Fraser today Winker entering today's game
Starting point is 00:14:39 just eight hits and 45 and his last 45 plate appearances before today's game, but a 400 on base percentage, 500 slugging percentage in that time. So he's hitting for a lot of power right now and again, another home run today. So that's good. And you also mentioned J.P. Crawford, who has been having a really good road trip. And he helped out the team again today, helped out the team in this series. But we've been seeing out of JP that suggests that he might be turning the corner offensively.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It's just kind of who J.P. is. He's a very streaky hitter. We know that every year he'll have a month where he looks like he's, you know, oh my God, he's turned the corner. He's, you know, he's an all-star, blah, blah, blah, and then kind of crashes and burns, and then he kind of eventually finds his middle. So it's one of those things where I feel like we know who JP is. JP's going to hit 250 to 265 somewhere in that range.
Starting point is 00:15:31 He's going to put up, you know, 320 to 340 on base somewhere in that range. He's going to slug sub-400, and that's just who he is. So I feel like he's getting into kind of, you know, coming back out of it. And it'd be great if you got one of those months where J.P. Looks like an All-Star because this offense sure could use it. And this is a great time for it. But I think what we're actually seeing is we're just kind of seeing J.P. kind of become or come back to what he was. Faced a lot of really good pitching for a while there. J.P.'s got, you know, bat speed issues. He's got a pretty long swing. And he has quite a few holes in the zone. And so really good pitching can exploit that.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Now when you go up against, you know, the Texas, the Angels, the Oakland, it's harder for them to exploit those holes. So, JP, you know, he's using the whole field. He's, you know, turned on a couple balls down the line and whatnot. But really, it's just JP getting back to what he does best, which is, you know, line drives are lower. Fly balls are not JP Crawford's friend. So it's all about the line drives and putting the ball on the ground hard with authority. And we're starting to see that. Yeah, keeping the ball level, hitting line drives and getting on base.
Starting point is 00:16:43 And that's what J.P. Crawford's doing this road trip. And it's really helping the Mariners out in a big way. Because like you said, right, Julio's slumping a little bit coming off of his injury. You know, still obviously, you know, had the home run last night and has been robbed of like three home runs, three other home runs. By the way, what do you think about the call that was overturned on Monday night? Do you think that was a home run for Julia or no? I don't know. I've seen the angle where it goes behind the poll.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Watching it live, I thought it was definitely foul. The weird thing to me is that they called it fair and then called it foul before they went to the replay. So now you have to have evidence to overturn that it was foul instead of evidence to overturn that it was fair. That seems like a bad system, right? Like, no, the guy who's in charge of that call, called it a home run. now we go to replay to decide whether or not it was a home run or not not well now let's get together and let's talk and let's change like no that's that's literally what you have replay for like so you should just go right to replay um i don't know i think if it was called a home run it might have stood
Starting point is 00:17:49 it's it's it's tough the the fact the major league baseball doesn't have a better camera angle figured out for those exact balls right there is well i would say it's insane but honestly it's it's part for the course i mean major league baseball is so like decades behind when it comes to technology. So, but yeah, it certainly seems to me at least like, I was more certain that the Texas home run, not home run,
Starting point is 00:18:14 was a fair ball than I wasn't this one in Anaheim was. Yeah. But I think it pushed, I would say, I think they were both home runs. And it's just it's dumb that Major League Baseball hasn't figured this out yet. So it is interesting because the, they do have
Starting point is 00:18:30 the Hawkeye system there in Angel Stadium, but they don't officially use it for any for at least for the baseball side of things but it did show it go in front of the foul pole uh this is the system that they use in tennis by the way for those that don't know hawkeye system is for for tennis to see if the the ball hits the line or not uh so uh it showed that it went in front of the foul pole but who knows if that but who knows if you know because they don't use it there if that's actually accurate or not it looked to me though on that replay that it wrapped around the pole it looked like it wrapped around the pole not in front of it
Starting point is 00:19:04 It just like that one like I wasn't 100% sure on the one in Texas. I am convinced was a home run. This one I was like, you know, it's it's close. Depending on what angle you want to show me, I could be like, oh yeah or no. So. Yeah, it is what it is. But Julio's still able to walk out of the series with a home run as the offense starts to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:19:34 in Anaheim and caps off a sweep with an offensive explosion, 19 combined runs over their last 13 innings of play down in Anaheim in this series. Good stuff on the Mariners' offense. We're going to be talking about the pitching in just a moment, but first a message from the NHTSA. You're hanging out with some friends and putting back a few drinks. A few becomes a few too many. As the evening comes to an end and people start to head out, you think of calling for a ride.
Starting point is 00:20:03 But nah, you live nearby. You can make it home okay. It's no big deal. Where are the odds you'll get pulled over anyway? And even so, what's the worst that could happen? Your insurance goes up, you lose your license, you lose your job, you total your car, you kill someone. Everyone knows about the risk of driving drunk. The results are tragic and often deadly. However, that still doesn't stop everyone from getting behind the wheel while under the influence. That's why police officers are out there right now looking for impaired drivers on our roads to save lives. So if you think, you're okay to drive after a few drinks think again play it safe and plan ahead to get a ride it only takes one mistake to change your life or someone else's forever drive sober or get pulled over so let's talk mariners pitching wasn't great uh today particularly given up the seven runs to uh to the angel's offense george kirby didn't have his best stuff but got through five and two thirds had some nice flashes here and there for sure let's start with him what did you see out of kirby today. Yeah, just not a lot of feel for any of the off-speed stuff. A couple nice sliders, a couple nice curveballs, but really just not much there. Basically had to rely on the
Starting point is 00:21:13 two-seamer and it was a really good pitch for him today. So he was able to work through it against a bad lineup, which does help. But yeah, it was mostly the two-seamer today. Not a lot of, of, you know, just not a lot of value out of the curveball. So it's one of those starts where you don't read too much into it, but he definitely, he also ran some deep counts. It was an okay start for George Kirby. It wasn't the sharpest we've seen him. But again, you know, able to get through five and two-thirds, give up three runs.
Starting point is 00:21:47 It's fine. It's, it's, he avoided disaster against, you know, a bad team when his offense gave him, you know, a legitimate chance to pitch like that. So, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, you know, the, the, the, the, the Mariners get six runs off of the, off of the, off of the Yankees and Gilbert gives them right back. So, uh, it's, it's, it's a skill when you don't have your best stuff to kind of work around it.
Starting point is 00:22:13 And the Mariners really did that all series. Um, ironically, each one, each pitcher, starting pitcher kind of did it with one pitch. They only had one pitch really working. Um, for Kirby's today was the two seamer. Um, a lot of, a lot of, lot of, a lot of really cool, a lot of cool things you can do with that, particularly against the lefties. So that, that pitch really carried him today. I thought it was kind of weird that Scott pushed him back out there for the sixth.
Starting point is 00:22:34 That was a very hot day. And he had a really rough fifth inning. So a little bit surprising there, but hey, I guess, you know, see what the kids got. But he was okay. Yeah, he was okay. Pretty decent at the start. And then the command started to tail off a little bit. And like you said, he just didn't really seem to have his feel for, for any.
Starting point is 00:22:54 anything outside of the two similar for the most part. Let's move on to Robbie Ray to pitch last night. He battled. Ten strikeouts, though, which is pretty nice to see out of Ray. The strikeouts are starting to go up a bit here for Ray in the later going now. And only walks two, gives up the two earn runs, six hits and six innings pitch. What did you see out of Ray last night? Yeah, last night was about Ray's slider.
Starting point is 00:23:22 It was the one pitch he could kind of reliably go back to. He was okay. I think, you know, kind of the big pitch is obviously the double play. He gets in the third inning with the bases loaded. It's already two to nothing. I think it was Taylor Ward at the plate. Somebody could do some legitimate damage and kind of, you know, knock you out of this game.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And he gets the double play. We've seen Ray kind of the last few starts kind of go back to the fastball slider. He's still using the two-seamer, but he's trying to avoid contact. now whereas for about a month there it was a lot of ground balls so it's nice to know that he's got both of those you know abilities in his back pocket now he's dominated the angels all year and even when he didn't have his best command best control or best velocity for that matter the slider was was good enough that he was able to generate enough strikeouts to really kind of after the third inning to really just squash any kind of momentum that the angels were trying to
Starting point is 00:24:19 build. So that double play was huge. And after that, he was, he was just fine. You know, it's, it's part of the reason why you give him $115 million because not his best stuff, kept his team in it, was more than good enough to win, flash dominance at time, again, with just one pitch. So, it's, it's part of the reason why he's at the top of your rotation. That's the kind of outing you, you want to see from a guy who, you know, doesn't have it. So then Luis Castillo on Monday for the third start in a Mariners uniform goes toe to toe with another team's ace and goes six innings
Starting point is 00:24:53 pitch as I said earlier the two earn runs that he gave up were not really on him. At least one of them. At least one of them. But nine strikeouts one walk, six hits the one home run which
Starting point is 00:25:08 shouldn't have been a home run. What did you see out of Castione's third starting a Mariners uniform going up against someone not the Yankees? Yeah. still going up against a Sion contender. So Castillo has done that now three times in the Mariners uniform. The Mariners are three and no, which is why you go make the trade. Luis Castillo was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Again, not great. It's very similar to the other two guys. Didn't have everything working. Didn't have pinpoint control or command. Found a way to make it work against a bad lineup. Castillo probably had the best outing of the three, just because the one home run was really fluky. But it was it wasn't the slider this time. He really didn't have the slider.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It was the change up we saw. He used it more than he had in his previous starts. And really it was the fastball that really dominated. It was 97, 98 with some run. Ran a lot of deep counts. Didn't give it much hard contact though. He just was just a tiny bit off. It wasn't, again, I know people will hear this as criticism,
Starting point is 00:26:11 but he was just not quite 100% Louis Castillo. And that should excite people because if, Luis Castillo can do that against, you know, major leaguers who, I mean, well, half major leaguers, you know, at like 70%. Imagine what he could do at 100%. Well, you make you start. And again, I don't think we've even seen Castillo with both his changeup and slider on the same outing. So I think there's another gear to Luis Castillo. I think he looked pretty good. Just not quite 100% like there. He was just a little bit off. And you could see it in some, you know, ran some deeper counts than he normally. does. Had to battle with a few guys to get outs. But yeah, it was still good stuff. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:54 you only walk one. I mean, it sounds silly to talk about control when you only walk one guy, but Castillo didn't have his best, you know, he didn't have his best control on one day. Still looking forward to when he finally finds the change up again
Starting point is 00:27:10 and uses it to the best of its ability because that's a legitimate 75, 80 grade offering. It's from Cascio. It's that good. Yeah. So once he finds that, look out. Right now he doesn't, I mean, it's kind of been like a 55 for the most part since he's come over.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And, you know, at a little better in Anaheim, but yeah. Yeah, a little better in Anaheim. Yeah, yeah, a little better in Anaheim. But yeah, for the most part, just hasn't had his best stuff yet. And that's really exciting because he's been out of his mind in a mirror's uniform thus far. He's been great. It's been great. Again, it's worth noting.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Garrett Cole twice and Shohei Otani in his first three starts, and the Mariners are 3-0. And you could argue he's outpitched. Well, he's definitely outpitched Cole the first time. But you can argue that he's outpitched both of those guys each time as well. So like I said, I don't think we've seen peak Louise Castillo yet, not in the Mariners uniform, but also not for his entire career. I think there's another gear to Louise Castillo.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And if I had a bet on an organization to get it out of him, probably the Seattle Mariner's so for sure it's it's a dangerous rotation if you can get it to October all right so on tomorrow's show we are planning to have Ryan DeVish of the Seattle Times join us looking forward to talking to him about the
Starting point is 00:28:30 Mariners going to be talking some Luis Castillo maybe ask him about possible extension also just talk about this team in general where it's at the vibes and all that good stuff so look forward to that right guy we're going to find out we're going to find out i'm certainly i'm certainly going to uh to to poke the bear on that front and uh see what see what happens see what happens uh i mean whether whether or not he
Starting point is 00:28:56 means to do it he does bring the vibes it which does bring the vibes so yes yes yes go bobcats yes yes so uh so we're going to be doing that and then uh we're going to be continuing what is now prospect weeks not prospect week but prospect week but Prospect month. Yeah, prospect month, what have you with, I believe we're doing prospects.
