Five innings pitched, nine strikeouts, three earned runs on eight hits for Luis Castillo. Jared Kellnick with a couple of hits, including an RBI triple in the bottom of the eighth.

Colby, your thoughts coming out of this game. Yeah, it's a real bummer because, you know, last night you won 5-0, you're feeling pretty good about the offense. Your pitching is just rolling right now. You have Luis Castillo going and you're facing Dane Dunning who really isn't that good. And you just feel like you have a really good shot to take this series, you know, and finish your little mini homestand here, four and two and have a couple division wins, get back over. over 500 for the first time since opening day. You feel like you have a really good shot to do all that. And once again, Luis Castillo comes out.

He was okay. I would say mediocre again. This is kind of the fourth start in a row where he's been, yeah, he's been okay. But, you know, we're starting to see a pattern here with Luis and how teams are attacking him. He's got to, he's got to pull out a counter punch here pretty quick. But yeah, he was okay today. But the offense, once again, you know, they scratch out three runs against, you know,

below average pitching. And even despite that, they have a shot in the eighth inning. You know, Jared Kalmick gets a big triple to score Cabriero. Unfortunately, after Crawford and France struck out to kind of really make it a rally very difficult. You know, Kalnick gets the triple and it's four to three. And you have, you know, A. E. E. Hennio Suarez and then Cal Rale up to tie the game or maybe give you the lead late. Maybe you can steal this win. and then, you know, A Eugenio, pretty good at bat, draws a walk.

Cal Raleigh long at bat, but he missed a couple of cookies, and then he ultimately strikes out. And at that point, the game's essentially over because we know this offense is set up in a way, at least right now, how guys are performing, in that they're only going to get one or two really good opportunities to score a night. Either they get the big hit and they'll put up five, six runs, or they won't, and they'll put up one, two, three runs. And we know what their record is when they score less than four runs. it's not good. And, you know, you're just kind of left just more frustrated than anything. Yeah.

Because just overall, I mean, you look at where you're at right now. You're game below 500. Okay. You know, you're, you have an off day tomorrow. You're going to Detroit. Who's playing some pretty good baseball right now. Don't sleep on Detroit. But you should, you know, win that series.

You're not going to have to face Eduardo Rodriguez, who's on fire right now. So you should feel like you're, you have a good shot to win that series and kind of, you know, get back home with momentum, but you just couldn't get that big hit tonight. You were one hit short again. And I think this is five or six losses in a row that are of the one-run variety. And after seeing this team win these type of games so often over the last two years, right now they're just not winning this type of game. And I think the most frustrating thing about that is that the guys who are letting you down are not guys that we think or we thought we're going to let us down. It's not Jared Kelnick just being overwhelmed.

and he's not able to hit at the big league level. It's not, you know, 36-year-old, A.J. Pollack just being an absolute zero. It's not Colton Wong right now being just terrible. It's none of those. It's the guys who we thought at the beginning of the year were either locks to be all-stars or we thought maybe they'd get some MVP votes. It's those guys. It's Tosker.

It's Julio until the last, you know, last week or so was Thai France. And now it's a little bit Cal and a little bit, Gino. and you're just not getting what you need from guys who you were counting on. And that's the frustrating part because you're getting more than you could ask for from J.P. Crawford. You're getting more than you could have hoped for from Jared Kelnick. You know, you're getting essentially Dillon Moore-level production from Jose Caballero. So you've managed to sidestep that landmine. And you look at what you got from your pitching despite only having, I think,

six and two-third combined innings from Andreas Munoz and Robbie Ray. And it hasn't slowed you down. So the thing that makes this frustrating, at least for me right now, is Julio and Teosker. Those are supposed to be your two big bats. They're supposed to carry this offense. And they have been the worst hitters on this team for at least the last two weeks. And it shows that how, with how streaky this offense is.

If those guys can't help you, you're not going to go far. It doesn't matter who you bring in. Doesn't matter who you trade for. it doesn't matter who you call up, if those guys can't hit or they don't hit, you're going to lose a lot of games because they're stars. You need them to play like stars. And they're just not right now. Yeah, we've said on the show that the issue with this offense right now

isn't that they didn't add one extra bat or two extra bats this off season. That certainly would help if they had done that. Don't get to be wrong. But Julio, Teosker, being pretty much useless at the plate. for a good chunk of this season, that's what's really killing you right now. The fact that Julio and Tay Oscar have hit to a point where they're now hitting sixth and seventh in your lineup,

that's the issue. That's the issue. So when we have this discussion about the offense and how we got to this point, that's the culprit, right? The lack of additions during free agency during the off season, it's there on the list,

but it's a little further down on the list than some of these other things. And that's what makes this ultimately frustrating because these are the things that you can't foresee and you can't fix. You can't go out and address, you know, getting an upgrade over to Oscar Hernandez

or Julio Rodriguez. The best way that you're going to upgrade your offense is by those guys finally getting it going. Yeah. And that's what your season ultimately hinges upon right now. So those guys getting it going because they are just not right now.

And, you know, again, Julio has now been moved down the lineup, five spots. We said that this was something that was necessary. Doesn't have to be permanent. If he figures it out within the next week, he can go back to hidden lead off next week. He already looked better today. So hopefully that's a sign. But yeah. And that's not because he got moved down the lineup.

He just needs to start working on his process. And the reason that you move him down the lineup is just because you don't want to guarantee him the most of bats in your lineup out of everyone. So you do that because that was hurting your team more than it was helping. The upside wasn't worth what he was providing you. No, and just real fast, I know there are people in the comments be like, well, you can't build a team around one guy because of one guy struggles. Then no, no, no, that's not what we're talking about here. Julio's not struggling.

Julio is bad. Right now, this is not a little slump. This is Julio being bad. He is a bad major league hitter right now. And when you build a team expecting this guy to be a MVP candidate, which by all accounts, he should be, there's no reason to say he shouldn't be at 23 years old, 22 years old. And he's actually one of the worst hitters in baseball over the last three weeks. That's not something you can predict.

That's not something you can foresee. And by the way, despite all that, again, the Mariners are just a game under 500. And it's May 10th. Right. Well, and that's the thing, too, with this series. you didn't get your ass kicked you lost by one run in each of these two losses I don't look at Texas and say that's a better team

well yeah I was I was gonna I was about to say that you know by the way guys I watched this Texas team I'm like I'm not I'm not concerned I don't think that they're elite I don't think the Mariners are far off from them I don't even think that the Rangers have leapfrog the Mariners because the Mariners

at their hundred percentile compared to the to the Rangers at their hundredth percentile night and day still to me so I'm not concerned about the overall picture of the AOS. I don't come out of the series and go, uh-oh, maybe, you know, those people that were picking the Rangers to win the division were right after all.

I don't feel that way at all. Because again, you were a couple swings of the bat away from sweeping this team. Yep. So really what it comes down to is execution. You have the talent. Your pitching is by F-4 standards, the best in the league. and your offense has several what should be quality hitters in it.

And I'm going to reserve my belief that they are going to figure it out eventually. So, you know, because like right now it's just, it's bad process. It's not guys have fallen off. It's not Julio is super hampered by his injury. And maybe that's contributing to the issues. I don't know. I'm not, you know, I'm not a Mariners team doctor. Yeah.

But it's the process. It's the process of Teos at bats. It's the process of Julio's at bats. They're bad approaches. They're approaching these at bats horribly. And frankly, selfishly, a lot of just swinging out of your shoes, swinging at everything you see,

swinging at pitches that are in the other batters box. It's got to stop. These guys are way significantly better than this. Yeah. And that's what makes it frustrating. That's what makes me just boil over watching these guys play right now because it's like you are so much better than this. You were so much better than this. Yeah.

You know, I know we got to get to the next segment here. But I think Joe, you know, says it best, Joe Doyle, friend of the show, over his last 14 games to Oscar Hernandez is batting 167, 224, 259 while running a K rate close to 47%. That's a chase rate at 40%. That's the worst hitter in base. Baseball at 45% 45 and a half percent. That's the worst hitter in baseball. That's the worst hit in baseball.

Much like Scott said, you know, earlier in the week, we have a lot of guys who are incredibly easy to pitch to right now. And that's a problem. And Tay Oscar is the easiest guy to pitch to in baseball at this moment. So why should we feel optimistic about them? We'll tell you in a sec. There we go. All right.

that's despite swinging at literally everything that even comes close to the strike zone. To me, it's pretty simple. It's because Teoscar Hernandez has track record of being a fringe MVP candidate for the last few years. And he's had slow starts in the past and has been able to put together these incredible seasons overall when you look at them on paper. So I do believe that Teosker can still turn this thing around. And you kind of have to hang your hat on. on that because it has to happen or else you're you're not doing anything this year. Tay Oscar had to be a big part of this thing to make it work.

Julio Rodriguez has to be a big part of this thing to make it work. Cal Raleigh has to be a big part of this thing to make it work. A.U. Henni of Swares, etc., etc., etc. And these guys, most of these guys at least, either have the track record or have the upside to do that. And just right now you're not getting that. But again, because all these, because we know who these guys are overall, I still feel confident saying that they are going to figure this out,

that Tay Oscar Hernandez is going to figure this out. Julio's going to figure this out. All these guys are going to figure this out. And the mayor is they might not have an elite offense. I don't think that's going to be the case at all this year. But I think we might see something that's more at least middle of the pack when this is all set and done, given the quality that is in this lineup. Yeah, I don't know about that.

I still think there's the reality of a top 10, you know, offense and all of baseball in this lineup because again all you need to be there now is for Julio to do what he did last year. Okay. Yeah. And for Teoska to do what he's done over the last five years. If those two things happen simultaneously, you're going to score so many runs because what J.P.

Crawford's doing right now is really good. What Thai France has done in the last week, he looks like the old Thai France. What you're getting from Cal Raleigh right now, it's fine. You'd like a little more power, but it's livable. you know what you're getting right now at second base with the combination of Wong and Cabiera what you've gotten from them in the last two weeks that's more than good enough. A E. E. E. Hineos-Wres needs to hit for more power. There's really no question about that. He's sitting 221, which not great, obviously, but if he was hitting 221 with eight home runs,

we'd say, okay, that's who A E. E. E. Hineos-Wres is. So I look at that and I say, you know, I don't see any reason why Jared Kelnik is just going to be a bad, bad, bad, uh, bat, right? I don't think he's going to just be terrible. Obviously, he's not going to have a month like April over the course of an entire year, but he looks like every month right now. Yeah, no, he looks fine. He had a couple hits today. Just the one hard hit ball, but whatever. No strikeouts. He continues to do well against lefties. Like, Jared Kellogg is an everyday player at the very least. And I feel pretty confident that he's going to put up 110, 120 WRC Plus, at least. All you need is for your two best players, your two best hitters to hit like they have,

for their entire lives. Yeah. We're not asking them to take a step forward off of what they've done. All you need them to do is just hit like the back of their baseball card says they can. And you're cooking with gas because this pitching staff, again, despite getting almost nothing from Andres Munoz and Robbie Ray, two huge arms that you will rely on this year. They're still the best pitching staff statistically in Major League Baseball. Right. I'm not even asking for Julio and Tay Oscar to be, you know, what they've been in the past.

just be 80% of that at this point. Like, like, just be that. I will take that right now because this is rock bottom. This is certainly rock bottom for Teasca and it is. Maybe not Julio yet because Julio still is having some quality at bats in terms of like hard hits, you know, hard hit balls. Today was really his best day in a long time. Yeah, but I mean like going back to like the road trip, right?

Where he was the results weren't there, but he was, but he was still putting. together, you know, a couple of hard hit balls. Sure. I'll give it to you, sure. But it's been right. No, it has been. It has been. Don't get me wrong.

That is true, though. He has been getting some hard hit balls, you know. Entering today's game. On that road trip, he was. Sure. Entering today's game, 77th percentile on average exit below had a couple of hard hit balls today. 66 percentile on hard hit percentage.

52nd percentile in ex-woba, 53rd in X-Wobah, 53rd and X-slug, 66th in barrel. Like those are all things that would seemingly indicate that he's also gotten a little bit unlucky, along with all the strikeouts. But the other thing to look at here, his Wobah right now is 288, which is, again, you read Wobah like batting average. That's below average. Major League average is 316, but you look at his ex-Woba, it's at 328. Julio has hit the ball hard and he's gotten unlucky on occasion. That is a fair statement, but obviously the abats also need to get better.

Both things are true at the same time. Both of those things are very much true. And, you know, again, on that, just to be fair here, the hard hit balls haven't been as present over the last few games since he has come back from the injury as well. So there's been like, you know, some occur. is here, but overall, like, the, just the problem here really isn't that he's getting unlucky. It is that his approach is God-awful. It's terrible. It's really bad. And he has to completely reconstruct that. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's, if he feels rushed by the pitch

clock or if he just feels, I don't know if it's just, the moment is too big. Like, or he's trying to make the moment bigger than it really is in his head. And he's trying to have this, you know, He, like, he has runners in scoring position. He's trying to, you know, crank a three run, home run instead of just poking a single through the hole. Like, I don't know what it is, right? But. Well, it's not only that. His swings are so violent in those situations that it's the only possible outcome that's positive with those swings is that he happens to pick.

He happens to guess the right location, the right pitch. And it's a home run because a swing that violent and that out of control, you're going to miss the barrel a lot. Because you can't control the barrel when you're swinging that violently. So yeah, but I would look at it like this, right? If you pulled the other 29 managers in Major League Baseball and you said, hey, do you think Julio is just a bad hitter now? Or would you, are you just hoping to play him before he figures it out? All 29 are going to say, we just want to get out of Dodge before Julio Rodriguez figures it out

because, yeah, this isn't a talent issue with Julio, obviously. And it's just, it's just a rough stretch right now. And, you know, I, I know he said, you know, Scott talked to him last night about moving him off lead off spot and Julio said he was he was for it but that's still tough you know that is still a tough thing to hear because essentially there's really no way to read into that other than Julio buddy you're hurting the team right now I got to move you down the lineup that's going to be tough for for him to hear and that's a that's a conversation that needed to be had and that's probably a wake-up call that he he needed right because he has gotten everything

rightfully so heading into this year all the expectations all the accolades all earned it all the privileges of being someone that you know going into the season where we're saying it's probably the next face of baseball and i still believe that wholeheartedly it's just you know it's a little bit of a struggle right now and he again it's not a talent issue he hasn't fallen off a cliff that's not like he's not a one-hit wonder that's not what's going on here talent is still there and we've seen it we've seen glimpses of it here and there sprinkled out throughout the course of the season, even over the last couple weeks, despite all of his struggles. We've seen little glimpses of it, like the home run against Houston.

We know what Julio Rodriguez can do what he can be. Just right now, he's holding himself back. And he's holding the team back by doing that. So he needs to take a step back here. And that's what hopefully putting him down in the lineup allows him to do and reassess what his approach is to these at-bats. And once he gets it figured out, again, this doesn't have. have to be a permanent thing.

He can go back. If he has a good stretch of like five, six, seven games where it looks like, okay, he'll he goes back. He can come right back up. Hit lead off next as soon as next week. But that's up to him. That's ultimately up to him to make happen. Yeah.

So in summation, just trust guys to be who they are. And I know many of you already have or dying to type Jesse Winker into the comments. fine, whatever, on occasion, guys do struggle for an entire year. But you tell me why I should believe that Teoska Hernandez is the worst hitter in baseball because he's had a bad month or is it the five years where he was an above average, you know, borderline all-star bat, which one should I believe more right now at this stage of the season? It's a layup. So, yeah, Teo needs to be a lot better.

Julio needs to be a lot better. but that just because they're not better as good as they need to be right now it doesn't mean they won't be yeah and if you're going to bet on a couple guys in this lineup to produce for you over the course of 162 those are probably your two first bets so we talked about this with Mitch Hanager last year and I think and I believe you theorized that this might have been the case that that you know Mitch was selling out a little bit because he was in a contract year do we think that's going on with Tay Oscar because he is in a contract year? Maybe the issue with that, though, is when you take that method, if you, if it doesn't work,

you're losing millions of dollars. You're losing millions and millions of dollars. I mean, just look at Michael Conforto, right? Now, Conforto doesn't sell out for power, but he had a bad year entering his contract year. And there was no market for him. And then he got hurt in the offseason. And now he had to take basically a one year prove it deal. Tay Oscar right now,

Tay Oscar, like hypothetically, if we get to September and this is who Tay Oscar is, he's probably getting one year 8 to 10 million at most. So I don't know. I don't know what the problem with Tay Oscar is. Again, I'm not,

obviously neither are you, but we're not hitting coaches, right? But I think anybody can look at the numbers right now. They can watch those at bass and say, something needs to change drastically. And it needs to happen now because, again, nobody is easier to pitch to in baseball than to Oscar Hernandez right now. One other thing I would say on this offense, as we're near the end of our show here,

they got to find a way to walk more. Yeah, they have to. They had five walks in this series. Yeah. I think they struck out 40 times. Yeah. And look, we've said this, strikeouts are going to be a problem with this team. Like, that's just the nature of things because those, those are the kinds of hitters that you have.

but you need to be walking more. You need to control the zone to at least a certain degree here. The quickest way for this team to build more than one or two opportunities per game that they're currently getting is for Julio and Teoscar to figure things out. But the second quickest way is for guys to walk more. Yeah. Draw more walks, work pitch counts, get deeper into the bullpen. it's it's a it's it's a attrition thing right so instead of having what if instead of having one or two

golden opportunities to score per game you have three yeah how big of a difference does that make it's huge and how and how many times have we seen bases loaded or second and third and first pitch swing no one is drawing out at bats and key moments a couple of guys are j Crockford is. JP, yeah, J.P. Cajard. Jared.

Yep. Yeah. JP. Even Jose Cabiero is a little bit. Colton Wong. Colt Long. Like, he's starting to do it. By the way, if anybody's struggling with the pitch clock, I think Jose Cabiero should teach

a class. Yeah. Because nobody's better at manipulating the pitch clock to their advantage than Jose Caballero. It's insane. So going back to Taya Oscar real quick, it's the same conversation that we just had about Julio. And why I feel confident that Teosker can turn things around is because the talent is still there.

We're still seeing glimpses of it. We still see that he can have some quality at bats. It's just the approach sucks. It's really bad. But the good thing about that on the flip side is that's incredibly fixable because that's a mentality thing. Yeah, in theory. well i mean you you can take a couple pitches whether you think that there's strikes or not you can just not swing the bat you know you could try doing that you could start there you know sure i i think

the the one thing you the one thing that's hard about that is when you're struggling you don't want to take a fastball down the middle oh yeah no you're pressing even more and you're two in your head yeah yeah so it's kind of a difficult act here you have a day off today or tomorrow rather i wouldn't put Tay Oscar in the lineup on on Friday yes they're facing Matt Boyd yes it's a lefty and yes in theory that's a really good matchup for him has that mattered the last two weeks no I probably I'm not starting you know I will take an O for four from Taylor Tremel if I really think giving to Oscar two full days off is something that could potentially help him I'm not worried about that and you could always put Sam Haggurty out there in the outfield too if you want the

righty against him so I think I think you got to try something you have to try something here. You know, in credit to Scott, I think he did it a little bit late, but whatever, better late than never. He was willing to push both Julio and Tay Oscar down the lineup when it becomes clear that this isn't working out. So we'll see what happens here. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked. Probably not, probably not in the next couple days, but over the next week, I wouldn't be shocked to see him move Colton Wong or Cabiero, who's ever playing that day into the two hole, moves Thai France down to three and just kind of try and lengthen the lineup that way. But right now, there is not a player you can call up.

There is not a player you could trade for. There is not anything that you could do as an organization that would help this team more. Then even just one of Julio and Teosker catching fire for, or not even catch, just put up the stats they did last year over a two-week stretch. Nothing can fix. Cade Marlow's not going to help you more than that. Mike Ford's not going to help you more than that. Playing Taylor Tremel every day is not going to.

help you more than that. There's not a batter you can go trade for right now. That's going to help you more than just one of those guys being who they've been their entire careers. Yeah. And that's the frustrating part is that there is no easy fix because you're just waiting for, you're waiting essentially for the inevitable, but it doesn't mean that it's easy. Yeah. The issue isn't Colton Wong. It's not the DH spot. It's none of that. What the issue is, is Julio, it's Tay Oscar, and until those two guys are getting it going here,

we're going to continue seeing performances like today's. We're going to continue seeing one-run losses where the Mariners were just one swing of the bat away from winning this game. We're going to see more of that. So you need your guys, you need your MVP caliber type players to not even be that,

just beat 80% of that right now, and you'd be in a lot better place. you are right now. Just be a major league average player and you're in a better spot. Agreed. Right now the other guy is. That said, I do feel like we are seeing a little bit of a light at the end of the tunnel here with this team, especially as of late. Sure.

With the way that the pitching staff is going right now. They won like seven of their last 10 or 11. Yeah. Ty France is starting to figure it out. JP's been great. Jared continues to be really solid. I think they're going to be fine at the end of the day. is just going through this right now sucks a lot.
