Locked On Mariners - Daily Podcast On the Seattle Mariners - Mariners Get Right Against Hapless A's Behind Luis Castillo, J-Rod, and More

Episode Date: May 23, 2023

That was a resounding win! The Seattle Mariners came off a disappointing end to their nine-game road trip needing a win against the hapless Oakland A's to right the ship and they got it. Luis Castillo was incredible. The offense scored 11 runs behind the trio of Ty France, Julio Rodriguez, and Jarred Kelenic. And Jose Caballero continues to slug his way into the hearts of Mariners fans. Colby and Ty discuss all the positives from last night and dissect the lunacy that is the Sam Haggerty vs. Kolten Wong debate.Help us out by filling out our survey!Be sure to follow or subscribe to Locked On Mariners wherever you prefer your podcasts!

And on this episode, we have a very fun Mariners win to talk about. We'll talk about Luis Castillo's night and get you set for game two of the series a little later on. But Colby, let's start by talking about this offense.

11 runs on 13 hits, multi-hit games for Thai France, Julio Rodriguez, Jerry Kellnick, and a Eugenio Suarez, and of course, Jose Cabiero with the big three-run, home run to make it five-nothing early on in this one.

Where do you want to start with this offense? Can we start by asking people to stop comparing Jose Cabiero to Jose Al-Tuve? He is Jose Al-Tuve. Only in the sense that their first names are both Jose.

Like, that's literally the only... He's Jose Alt-Tube. Jared Kellnick is Barry Bonds. These are the rules, Colby. Okay. Wouldn't it make more sense than if it, Jared Kelnick was Kyle Tucker? He's Barry Bonds. He's Jerry Bonds, rather. Jerry Bonds.

Sure. Whatever. Yeah, in regards to the offense last night. A lot of hard hit balls, which is obviously great. Nice little stat here. You know, they struck out eight times, only eight times. And they walked five. So that is controlling the zone much better than they have in the past.

mine is Tay Oscar, who added yet another three-strikeout game to his resume. That's a lot. It's a lot. But yeah, other than Teo, everybody got on base at least once. So that's good. And obviously, you know, the big story of the night was the Julio Rodriguez and Jared Kelnick show, who looked like, you know, what Mariners fans have dreamed about for the last, what, two, three years or probably what,

four years now since they've all been in the org. So yeah, it's nice to see. Yes, it's against Oakland. Yes, you have to kind of take it with, you know, with a grain of salt. But it's, it was still good. Like, I mean, any way you want to, any way you want to, you know, try and,

I don't know, knock it down. It doesn't really matter. Because at the end of the day, these two guys had really good games. Uh, in the same major league baseball game. And as a result, surprise, the Mariners' offense looked really good. Huh.

It's funny what happens when Julio actually gets on base. There seems to be a direct correlation between Julio having a good game and the Mariners' offense having a good game. Who would have guessed? Crazy, right? But, yeah. So it was nice to see. It really was Julio and Jared,

and they kind of overshadow, rightfully so. Ty France, who had a pretty decent game. He was on base four times as well. A. E. E. E. Oh, Henio had three RBI, just missed a home. run to dead center field. Cal Raleigh just missed a home run as well. And, yeah, Cabiero, of course, with the big three run bomb, home runs on back-to-back

days. So, yeah, just a really good, I mean, you scored 11 runs. It's a great offensive performance, regardless of who you do it against. And last night was, it was fun. It was a good get-right game after your offense has really struggled to score runs, particularly in Boston after the blowout win. That was a little frustrating. but yeah it's good get right game

for a lot of people and obviously you know again Julio finally getting rewarded with hard contact and then also having some luck go his way with the first double so yeah it was it was a great night very very little to complain about but that doesn't mean I can't

so don't test me the mayor is neither of this one and it felt good felt good to watch Julio and Jared go a combined six for eight three extra base hits including a two run home run from Jared Kellnick off a lefty again. Are you able to take us through that home run a little bit?

He hit it far. Okay. I mean, he got into a good hitters count. He got a pitch that was, you know, down the middle of the plate and a pitch that he should handle pretty regularly. And he did. And you see the immense power of Jared Kellnick in that that wasn't just a 400, you know, 10 foot home run to straightaway center field.

It was a charged up 455 foot home run at 112 off the bat, which is. again tremendous raw power. We know Kelnick has that. He's doing it against lefties. You actually feel better about Kelnick based on a lefty right now than you do a righty. Because right now Kelnick's biggest weakness without question is that right-handed change up low and away. Well, lefties don't have that pitch. And so and Kelnick's not failing out on anything right now. He's staying right up the middle. And it is pretty interesting that Kelnick's two longest home runs this year, both to straightaway dead center field, which shows, you know, just how immense the power is. Yeah, you know, it was good. Kelnick's kind of been sliding a bit.

He's still been fine. You know, we talked about this yesterday on our Patreon show, uh, despite the obvious regression, uh, from Kalnick in the month of May. He was still, uh, at 107 WRC plus for the month, which obviously went up after last night's game. So yeah, Calnick, uh, he touched it up. Uh, it was, you know, exactly what you want. Get into a hiters count. Get a good pitch to hit.

Don't miss it. Kelnick did all that. And then you can see this, the, the talent is evident in the fact that. you know, the pitch that he hit went 455 feet, which is not easy for anybody to do. On the downside of things, Tayasca Hernandez with another three plus strikeout game. He now has more three plus strikeout games than he did all of last year in his final year with the Blue Jays. Overall, though, you know, Teo's been a bit better as of late. So hopefully he can get back on track tonight.

We'll talk about that game a little later on. But first up, we're going to be talking about Luis Castillo, who was able to get back. on track last night at T-Mobile Park.

You can catch the Mariners and the A's on the Mariners' hometown broadcast tonight with Sirius X-X-M via the S-X-M app, 640-1 pitch, Pacific Time. Let's talk about Luis Castillo.

scoreless outing for Castillo. It's been a rough one. His last five starts, especially that last one out at Fenway Park. But he goes six inning pitch, zero runs, four hits, eight strikeouts,

two walks on 101 pitches, just five hard hit balls, six hard hit balls, rather on the entire night. What did you see out of Castillo, Colby? Yeah, the first thing that jumps out is the,

the velocity on the four seamer. Last night, he didn't throw a four seamer that was slower than 95. 5.8 miles an hour. Hit 99 multiple times. His fastball sat 96 to 99 for the entire night. And yeah, it's pretty easy to see through 41, four seamers.

He got 27 swings and, you know, Oakland whiffed on 13 of them. Basically half of the four seamers that they swung at, they missed. In fact, in through the first three innings, Luis Castillo got six whiffs on the eight four seamers that Oakland swung and that that was six the first six four seamers at Oakland swung at they missed so the fastball eight again at the top of the zone and he really just you know dominated with the fastball that wasn't to say his other pitches were uh more useful uh he actually threw the change up this time more than that was his number one secondary uh 27 percent of the time um he you know nine swings on it four whiffs that's a good ratio also got

three called strikes on it, which is important. Again, called strikes and whiffs. They're both valuable because they're both strikes that have no chance to damage you whatsoever. So, yeah, the changeup was really good. He also got three whiffs on the sinker, which was also 95 to 98 on the two seamer with that ridiculous run. I think they miscategorized a change up as a four seamer because they say that or a sinker, Stackass says that his slowest sinker was 90 miles an hour. There was no fastball that Louise Castillo was throwing.

That was less than 95 last night. And that includes the two seamer. Yeah. And he got only three whiffs on 11 swings on that pitch, but he did get four called strikes, which is huge. And then the slider, you know,

it didn't get put in play once by Oakland. He didn't throw it all that much, 13% of the time. But he did to get two whiffs on the four swings and he got three called strikes with it. So, you know, Overall, 102 pitches, 67 strikes. A lot of whiffs, 22 whiffs in this game.

I think that's a career high for Castillo or certainly a Mariners career high for Castillo. And plenty of called strikes, 16 called strikes, 38% call strike plus whiff rate. And like you said, only six hard hit balls when they actually did put something in play. Castillo was great last night. The only thing that I noticed is he's still missing armside when he goes from the stretch. there's still something just a little bit off there mechanically, but obviously it was much better than his previous four outings. And yeah, you know, it's Oakland, again.

So obvious caveat there. But again, Oakland has some guys who are hitting right now. And also Castillo couldn't beat Oakland last year, like at all. So there was a possibility that he was going to go out there and struggle. And we'll see ultimately, I think his next start will be against, his next start will be against Pittsburgh. And then I think he's going to start. the last game against the Yankees is how the schedule lines up i could be off a day there but

those next two outings will be pretty telling um so i think we'll just we'll just have to wait and see not how he looks going forward but it was certainly a step in the right direction and man that fastball just popped all night long i think he's slated to make to start the second game of the pirate series which i think because that's a three game series right and then the yankee series a three game series they might just miss them yeah so i think he misses them by a day should be illegal. Luis Castillo should always pitch against the Yankees. Yeah, been pretty good against them in the past.

Yeah, so you mentioned, you know, the issues with him in the stretch. That's obviously been a problem area for him. We've talked about that a little bit, especially over his last five starts. Could you dive into that a little bit more? I know you talked about how he's missing armside. Just what are you seeing overall there from Cassio out of the stretch right now? Yeah, you know, it's tough to say. last night the velocity was fine out of the stretch which is good um i think it's more of just again it's

some kind of mechanical issue either his shoulders flying open a little bit um or his arm is lagging behind the rest of his motion there's just something that's a little bit off it's something that you can tweak i think the good news is is that it doesn't appear that castillo was tipping his pitches or if he was uh then they figured the mariners have figured that out and and they made a change because there were not they the as were not ambushing the fastball like we see saw Boston do like we've seen St. Louis do. Like we've seen the last few times out, teams have just ambushed the fastball. And when they got on base, Castillo, again, from the stretch, not nearly as effective.

So Oakland didn't do that. Maybe they just, you know, maybe it just because they're Oakland. But it seems to me to indicate that, no, it wasn't a pitch tipping thing or if it was, Castillo's got that figured out. But yeah, from the stretch, the only thing different this year from last year that I see is he doesn't do that little, a leg kick thing before he comes set. He's not allowed to this year. And I just wonder maybe that's causing him to fly open a little bit.

But it's tough to say, you know, again, I'm not a, not a pitching guy. I'm not a swing guy. So unless it's something pretty egregious, I'm not going to notice it. But yeah, nobody seems that concerned by it. And again,

it was better last night. But it is something to watch going forward, especially against better lineups. He'll have to have that ironed out. But we'll see. It, again, it was better last night, but I did notice a few times that the sinker, the two seamer was really riding armside pretty hard. And he spiked a couple of breaking balls when he tries to overcorrect. So just something's not in sync when he doesn't have his full windup going.

Game two between the Mariners and the A's tonight at 6.40 p.m. Pacific, Mariners trying to get back to 500 tonight.

Thank you again for making us your first listen game two

between the Mariners and the A's kicks off at 640 p.m. Pacific tonight. You can catch all the action on the Mariners' hometown broadcast series XM via the SXM app. Marco Gonzalez against Luis Medina, former Yankees prospect who made his way over to Oakland and what the Frankie Montas deal, I believe. They've made quite a few deals with one another, so it's hard to keep track.

What can you tell us about Medina, who right now 0 and 2 with a 688 ERA? Yeah, Medina, pretty good stuff. It's a four seamer, slider, change up curveball, basic four pitch four pitch repertoire throws a lot of fastballs 53% fasts. You put some stank on that by the way

repertoire yeah I always I never know if I should say repertoire or arsenal it was good I like it yeah but yeah mostly fastball 53% fastball slider is to go to secondary pitch although he does mix in the curveball and the change up it's 19% slider

16% curve about 11 and a half percent change up So, you know, mostly fastball, but he will mix it up. The issue right now with Medina is that the slider and the curveball are trash. Like, they're not good. Opponents this year against the curveball are hitting 333 with a 1,000 slug. And against the slider, opponents are hitting 273 with a 636 slug. To be fair to him, the fastball, not much better.

But yeah, the slider does have swing and miss ability to it, though. It does have a 50% whiff rate. The curveball does have, you know, 36% width rate. Fastball just 9%. So you should be able to put the fastball in play with some regularity here. He doesn't throw, he doesn't really have control issues. He's fine in the walk department, but it's not great command. That's part of the issue.

It's a good, it's a good fastball velo. He certainly gets a pretty good spin on it as well. He's just in the middle of the plate a lot. He's wildly inconsistent, and he tends to wear down as he gets deeper into starts. So, yeah, it's going to be pretty good stuff overall, but he is going to make mistakes. He doesn't have great command, and the Mariners are going to have opportunities to score runs off of him. We'll see. I think it's pretty easy to say that, you know, if Julio Rodriguez has a pretty good game against this guy,

I think the Mariners probably have a good chance to win. But yeah, like I said, it's the four pitches. He mixes all the off-speed pitches relatively the same. Can get swing and miss on the on the on the breaking stuff. Fastball good good VLO, not elite Velo or anything like that. And he actually. Yeah, he just doesn't get a lot of chase. It doesn't get a lot of whiffs.

Doesn't get. I mean, he gets barreled up. So it's it's just poor command right now. It's stuff over command, but he will be around the strike zone, which is good, actually. It helps. Phil's redundant to ask you about your thoughts on Marco Gonzalez, but what would you deem as a success for him tonight? Six innings, three or less runs. Yeah.

Like, just give your guys a shot, give your offense a shot. Like I said, Medina will be around the plate. He will leave pitches in the middle of the plate. Sometimes that doesn't matter for the Mariners. Sure. We'll see. Hopefully tonight it does. But yeah,

you just got to give your team a shot to win. Nobody's expecting anything, you know, sensational out of Marco. Just continue to really, you know, pound that, the change up. It's the cutter, ignore the cutters,

don't use the cutter. And he's done a pretty good job of that so far. But typically Marco bounces back from bad starts. We know he'll have them, but it's very rare where he goes back-to-back bad starts. And this Oakland lineup, is pretty aggressive, so it should give him a pretty good opportunity to go relatively deep in this game. And if not, the bullpen is pretty well rested. So just find a way to keep Seattle

in the game. Don't lose the game in the first three innings. And I think Marco has a shot to be pretty good tonight, at least back to what he was prior to the start in Boston. How bummed out are you that the Mariners can't play the A's 19 times a year anymore? yeah it would help but then again you know Texas and Houston and L.A. would also get to play them seven more times so yeah yeah I guess kind of seems like it would be a wash yeah that's a that's a very good point I guess what the question is is what do you prefer

over the other having to face the Mets the Dodgers the Phillies the Braves etc every single year or facing the Astros, Rangers, Angels seven more times year each. Yeah. I don't really care. I think it all kind of evens out, to be honest,

but I don't know. I like that they're going to play every team every year. I think that's pretty cool, at least from a fan perspective, from a, you know, my team has to travel a lot more

than it ever did before a perspective. And that's really unfair. It's not good, but it's just geography. I mean, right. As much as we want to blame Major League Baseball for a lot,

and we can. The location of Seattle is not one of them, relative to the other teams in this league. So yeah. Why don't they, you know, push it somewhere else? Like Rob Manfred and the boys go up to Seattle and just push Seattle somewhere else. You really want Seattle to not be where it is right now? Really?

It's a pretty good location, Ty. It's a pretty good location. It was a good location. Yeah. I mean, they can push it closer to Toronto. I'd be down for that. But then when that just be like Winnipeg? I mean, if it's still...

I don't know the provinces. We're not getting into Canadian geography on here. That feels more like a control-to-sown thing. Yeah. Which you can subscribe to. That's right. Link in the description below, folks. Subscribe now.

$5 a month gets you access to four more episodes of us. talking Mariners, baseball, and other things as well. It's pretty unhinged. $5 a month, get you eight. Well, I'm saying per week. Oh, two episodes, two episodes. I can't do math. I'm sorry. Yeah, you get eight episode, eight extra episodes per month at the tier two or tier three level.

And yes, Ty and I talk a lot of mariners, but we also talk about whatever the heck we want. So check it out, but it gets pretty unhinged. It does. We failed at math more than like that. So if you enjoyed that, if you enjoyed that little blunder, subscribe. Yesterday we talked about youth baseball for like 20 minutes. We did. We did.

It was pretty fun. It was nice. It was nice. But I do have something I want to address here because I noticed this in the, no, no, no, I noticed this. I was cleaning out the mail bag yesterday. And people were asking questions about, you know, what he, Dylan Moore comes back, blah, blah, blah. Right. And obviously the tweet.

I sent you. That was since deleted. We're not going to get into that. But I just kind of added more fuel to the fire here because there seems to be this like growing number of Mariner fans who are convinced that when Dylan Moore is ready, you have to DFA Colton Wong. And I just,

I'm wondering if you guys know that Sam Haggardie is still on this roster. I understand it to be easy to forget that. I really do since, you know, he just appeared for the first time yesterday in like a week to pinch run for A. E. Henniosaurus in the top of the night. But I ask this sincerely to those of you who think that Colton Wong should be the guy who's DFA'd. Have you lost your minds?

Like, are you there? Because to me, what this reads as is that I know Sam Haggertie sucks, but he was good for me for like a week and a half. And that's more than Colton Wong has ever done for me. So I want Sam Haggurty here. It seems like you want Ham Swaggerty. more than you want Sam Haggurty. Right. But they're the same person.

And right now, Ham Swaggerty sucks as much as Sam Haggurty. And they're worthless to this ball club. Let's go over the reasons. Let's go over the reasons, right? What is the reason Sam Haggurty would be here over Colton Wong? Well, Haggurty can play more positions. How important is that when you have Dillmore back?

Can Dillmore play shortstop? Yes. Can he play second? Yes. Can he play third? Yes. Can he play first? Yes.

Can he play the outfield? Yes. So you can play everywhere. everywhere Haggarty can. But let's say hypothetically, the Mariners don't want to play a Dillmore in the outfield. They've said that before. They want to keep them focus in the infield. Okay, fine. Here's a list of players you would much rather have playing in the outfield

on any kind of regular basis than Sam Haggurty. Julio Rodriguez, Jared Kalnick, Teoska Hernandez, A.J. Pollack, Taylor Tremel. And we'll throw Dillemore in there, too. So Sam Haggurty is at best the seventh outfielder on this roster. with a two week like what legitimately what is a three week track record of hitting major league pitching with any consistency maybe a month if you want to stretch it out colton wong has a 10 year track record

of being able to hit major league pitching so on top of all that if you really love sam haggerty as much and you think he can help this mariners team how is he helping them by sitting on the bench you know, for 55, for 50, for 50 essentially of the 54 innings that they play in a week on average. He's not. He's not. So if you really want to help Sam Haggurty, you send him down to AAA where he can play every day.

And then you call him back up in a month when you can still DFA Colton Wong if he's not hitting by then. Yeah. There's literally zero reasons. Zero. unless you want to make some up. Zero reasons that Colton Wong shouldn't be on this roster, but Sam Haggurty should be.

Zero. They do not exist. Your versatility argument? Stupid. Your Colton Wong's not hitting an argument. Have you seen Sam Haggurty? Stupid. You're made up.

There might be Jesse Winker in the clubhouse reasons. Stupid. And also really dangerous with your platform. better. You know who I'm talking to. So, yeah, all your reasons for saying Sam Haggody should be on this roster over Colton Wong, they're stupid. They're all stupid. I haven't heard a good one yet. Ty, you have a good reason? I do not. Though I do want to dispute the fact that Sam Hargarty and Hamsoirty are the same person, though. I mean, are Ted Lasso and Led Tasso the same person? Yes. Yes, they are. Are you sure about that? So yeah, they are. So, yeah, stop it. This, again, this idolizing of like fringe major leaguers that Mariner fans do sometimes really annoys me.

It's just, oh, you can't possibly move on from Sam Haggurdy. He's got a cool name and he runs fast. This is the same thing that led you guys to think Willie Bloomquist should be in the lineup every day for a decade. Willie Bloomquist had a career war of one. He played for 15 years. He wasn't good. And neither is Sam Haggurty. I've been telling you guys this since the off season.

And God forbid, you say, oh, Colby was probably right about that one. No, we had to DFA Colton Wong instead, who has a literal decade-long track record of being at least an average bat in the big leagues. And oh, by the way, was well above average last year and the year before that and was starting to hit before the wrist injury crept up. So am I saying Colton Wong could get starts over Jose Cabiero? Yeah, some. Some. you're not playing Cabiero seven days a week that cannot be the plan

right it can be for in the short term but like the next week or two yeah sure because that totally works every single time yeah so in the nicest way I could put this to the Sam Haggurty supporters out there you're not stupid

but you're acting stupid and you're being stupid so walks like the top of like a duck. I don't know. Do some self-reflection there. Sam Haggerty is a nobody.

He's replaceable. In fact, he's below replacement level right now. And he doesn't even have a track record to back up. Like, oh, well, no, he just says to do this.

No, because he had one month where he was an above average major league player. What has he been in the rest of his career? A quad A back and forth. We need a pinch runner. So we'll put him on the roster

for a week. That's who Sam Haggurty is. You're going to get eaten alive for this. I don't care. Bring it on. Because everybody who leaves the little comments below, Sam Haggaddy is amazing or whatever. It's just tick. I know you're an idiot. Tick, I know you're an idiot. It's so easy.

There's no reason. There's zero reason for Sam Haggurty to be on this roster when Dylan. I do agree with that. Yes. Literally none. You're just making yourself look like an idiot by trying to make it so. I'm sorry you don't like Colton Wong. I'm sorry he disappointed you.

But from the sounds of it, it sounds like he like teabones you on the highway and now you're out for revenge because now you can't taste oranges anymore. What is your deal, man? Get over it. Sam Haggurty has no place on this roster. None. You know what? Sam Haggurty never played another game for the Mariners.

You know who wouldn't be sad? This guy. Okay. I don't care. If he does, great. If Sam Haggrey goes down to AAA and he hits and he comes back and you get another month. out of Sam Haggurty. Fantastic. Awesome. Cool. You're not doing it on May 25th or whenever they call it Dylan Moore. Stop it. You're being stupid. Except reality for what it is.

Sure. Back to you, Ty. I just want to address something quickly on Colton Long before we hop off here. By all accounts, the guy is a great clubhouse guy. I can't imagine that he's causing any issues in there. And I agree with Colby. that assuming that he's like other players that may have come through the mariner's clubhouse over the years and didn't necessarily fit it's a bit dangerous and so um yeah i don't have any concerns about how long right now is handling his demotion if you will and uh fitting in the clubhouse because again by all accounts great guy um who's pretty selfless and all about the team you know at least that's a reputation that he built for himself before kind of

into Seattle. So maybe that's changed. I don't know, but I'm not there. So I'm not going to make any assumptions. It's not going to change because one guy says my gut feeling is that he's not a raw, raw guy. So he might be a problem like Jesse Winker, because I really want to push this narrative that Jose Altuvae is actually wearing a marriage uniform and his name is Jose Cabiero. Stop it. Be better. Anyways. No show tomorrow. We'll be back on Thursday. not a day game so it's probably just going to be a regular timed show. So I don't know when we'll do our next post game show. Maybe sometime on the weekend we'll see.

Also, again, you can catch tonight's game between the Mariners and the A's on the Mariners hometown broadcast with Sirius XM via the SXM app. That's going to do it for our show.
