Locked On Mariners - Daily Podcast On the Seattle Mariners - Mariners Sweep Aside Toothless Tigers in Relatively Easy Fashion

Episode Date: September 1, 2022

Just as they were supposed to, the Mariners swept the Tigers with ease in Detroit with a 7-0 win on Thursday. Ty and Colby discuss the importance of leaving Comerica Park with all three games in hand, if Logan Gilbert's start was a product of him being good or the Tigers being bad (or both) and what Matthew Boyd and Taylor Trammell offer the Mariners as their 27th and 28th men for the rest of the regular season.Be sure to follow or subscribe to Locked On Mariners wherever you prefer your podcasts!

The Mariners defeat the Tigers by a score of 7 to nothing to secure a three-game sweep in Detroit today. We'll be getting into Logan Gilbert's start. How good was he? And how much of this was a byproduct of a bad Tigers offense, if at all?

And Matthew Boy's debut in what he and Taylor Tremel provide the Mariners as their 27th and 28th men on the roster. But first, let's just get into it. our overall thoughts on the game today and the series as a whole. How important was getting a sweep in Detroit, Colby? Pretty important because I think what you're looking at here is you really want that four and two road trip. You want to gain some ground on the number, whatever it is. I think it's going to be 88. It might be 90s. So you gain some ground if you go four and two. Actually, the way it works

out is the pitching matchups are going to favor you in Cleveland as well. So you're going to have a pretty good shot to take that series. You have to play well, obviously. But by sweeping this, you kind of buy yourself a game. Essentially, you buy yourself an extra game that you can kind of not give away, but you pocket an extra win over what was expected at least. So it's pretty big. Nice thing is they swing the bats a little bit more than five runs or more in every single

game. Again, today, not super home run dependent. worst there were some home runs don't get me wrong uh including an extremely impressive one by hulio um but uh for the most part it was it was uh you know just keeping the line moving sally had a big double uh you know it drove into toro or uh tremel was it was torra toro had a basis loaded walk um and then you have the two home runs uh and yeah so it's just one of those things where we saw a little bit more offense uh from this team and it was not as home run driven And it was still, you know, they still hit plenty of home runs.

I think they hit, what was it, five home runs in the series, six. So lots of home runs, but still we did see them, you know, put together some big endings without the home run, which is nice to see. So, yeah, overall, it was a big series win. You know, you always want to take two out of three, particularly, you know, from bad teams on the road. But you get the sweep. You kind of banked that extra win in there.

And, you know, for the most part, you had really good pitching to go with it. And the offense showed up and pretty solid defense. Adam Fraser shortstop. Not the best, not the best. But it's okay. They got through it. And yeah, it's nice. Now you go into Cleveland and you lose, you know, two or three, which, again, not what you want.

But it's not a disaster. It's not the end of the world. It's still a four and two road trip. And you get to go home feeling pretty good about yourself. Yeah. yourself a buffer and you know you mentioned fraser just a second ago having to play a shortstop the last couple games jp crawford back in the lineup today that's very good because of course they brought mason mccoy over from tacoma to be on the taxi squad in case crawford was going to be out for

a bit more time so good to see that crawford was back didn't get a ton of action at shortstop today didn't really have a notable day at the plate either but uh good to see jp's back in action and abraham torrell had a really nice play uh at second base today on during Matthew Boyd's appearance. We'll be talking about Boyd's appearance later on in the show, which was a really cool moment. This was a fun game. And, you know, like you mentioned, the Mariners were able to tack on runs later on in the game. They were able to extend their leads.

That was very important last night in particular when they added that run of insurance in the top of the night because Paul Seawall didn't have his best stuff. Of course, he didn't end up giving up a run. But, you know, you feel a little bit better in that situation. with a 5-3 lead than a 4-3 lead. And then we saw again today they were able to, you know, of course, they didn't really need the insurance, but they were able to add another run in the ninth inning before, you know, they put the tigers away.

So good to see that the Mariners are not just getting a big inning. And then that's about it from them in this series. They were able to pretty much consistently score throughout this series. That's what you want to see. And that's especially what you want to see against a subpart pitching staff like Detroit. Now, of course, you know, Detroit through Eduardo Rodriguez and Matt Manning, those guys are certainly talented, but you want to be able to take advantage of that. And you want to be able to take advantage of their bullpen as well.

And the Mariners did that and then some in the series. Yeah, it's kind of funny that Tyler Alexander is the guy that he struggled against because he is, you know, by far the worst of the three. And it's still a good example of what this offense ultimately is, which is not very good. because, you know, good offense shouldn't struggle against Alexander or pitchers like him as much as the Mariners do. But again, it is nice to see like, hey, we have this. It's a club in our bag. We can get to it occasionally. You know, unfortunately for the Mariners, when they get to the playoffs, which is when not if at this stage,

they're going to see really good pitching. And so you're going to hit fewer home runs, too. So it'd be really cool if in September they can kind of continue to build on this office. where it's not so home run dependent. They got Taylor Tremel back today. That should help. I imagine he's going to play quite a bit. Sam Haggerties back in the lineup after missing four or five days.

Jesse Winker is sitting against lefties on back-to-back days. I think that might be something you see for the rest of the month here. So, you know, Winker facing going to face plenty of Rides here coming up. But, you know, I think we're going to. Right. Because like he's had success against lefties, even more so the righties this year. Right. I just think that's more about, you know, getting Haggard.

at-bats who's really good against lefties. I think it's about, you know, just trying to maximize your matchups and just trying to find some flow heading into, you know, the stretch run here. So I would expect Winker still get some at-bats against lefties, but for the most part, it seems like Haggerty is going to be the left-fielder against Ritees. And then my guess is against lefties, and then my guess is against Ritees, Winker will primarily DH and Taylor Tremelt will play left field. All right. So Logan Gilbert, was he good? Was it just a byproduct of a bad tiger's offense? Was it both? We'll talk about that in just a moment. But real quick, a message from the NHTSA. Are you one of those people who thinks it's okay to drive stoned? What's the worst that can happen? You end up driving below the speed limit? It's no big deal, right? Wrong. The truth is your reaction time slow way down when you're high. You not only put yourself in danger, but everyone around you. Talk about a buzzkill.

Stop kidding yourself. It's not okay to drive high. If you've been using marijuana in any form, do not get behind the wheel. If you feel different, you drive different. Drive high. Drive high. Get a DUI. You're listening to the Lockdown Mariners post-game show. Thank you again for making us your first listen after the game.

Let's get into Logan Gilbert, who goes six strong innings, nine strikeouts, just one walk, just two hits allowed, but Colby, was he just, was he really good or was this just, you know, the, the tigers are really bad because, you know, Gilbert's has, Gilbert has been kind of struggling as of late, right? You know, we haven't seen too many good starts out of him over the last couple months. So is this just kind of, I don't know, an illusion created by a bad Tigers offense or did we actually see some good stuff out of Logan Gilbert today? It's probably a little bit of both. we saw the fastball, you know, 99 pretty early on.

And we saw the fastball at the upper part of the zone. Now, there are a few pitches he made that he got away with with the fastball in particular, a couple of pitches that were meant to be top shelf and they were more middle. And those are pitches you might not get away with against, you know, teams like Houston or New York. But for the most part, he really hammered that upper line with the fastball. It was kind of an old school, Logan Gilbert was fast. It was almost, it was 65% fastball, 26. 6% slider, 7% other.

And one of the other was apparently the first sinker, Logan Gilbert's ever thrown, which I think we can just chalk that up to a mislabeled pitch. I mean, if Gilbert wants to start throwing the two seamer like everybody else on the Mariners staff, fine. Like it might help. But yeah, you know, he got 32 swings on the fastball. I actually got 10 whiffs. He also got eight called strikes on it. So 33% called strike.

Whiff rate on the fastball is pretty good. 36% on the slider, which is helpful. The nice thing about the slider is that he threw, he threw 26 of them. He got six whiffs on 10 swings. He also threw two in the strike zone for called strikes. And there were three fouled off. So on the 10 swings, only one slider was put in play.

And that that's really good. So it was, again, fastball slider heavy. Did throw a knuckle curve. have actually got a strikeout on a curveball. So that's nice to see. But yeah, it was just a fastball slider. It just looked like Detroit was never going to be able to catch up to the fastball.

And so Gilbert and Casale just wrote it to the finish line. Easily could have gone seven. He was pretty much cruising at that point. But again, the Mariners trying to protect Gilbert and make sure he's ready for potential playoff run. So they take him out when he probably had one more left. But yeah, it was 84 pitches. I think it was like 60.

strikes. It was a lot of strikes that he threw. Again, only the one walk, just two hard hit balls. Gilbert was, it was probably the best he's looked since May, I would say. But part of that, again, you do have to factor in that it is Detroit, the worst offense in Major League Baseball. That's not Gilbert's fault. That's just who he happened to face. But, you know, let's see how he does against, I think his next start is against the Padres or the Braves. Let's see how he does. and then we'll kind of make a determination from there. But, you know, we saw Gilbert struggle last August and then pitch very well in September.

So far, hopefully history repeats itself because the Mariners could have Logan Gilbert look like this for the rest of the year. They start to become very dangerous in five and seven game series as well. Yeah, he looked very comfortable on the mound today, found his groove. And of course, you're going to naturally gain a confidence from facing a lineup like this.

So, you know, and like they pointed out on the broadcast, wasn't really using the change up today. It was just fastball, fastball, fastball. As you mentioned here with the fastball, because, you know, Tigers offense, that's the worst offense in baseball. And they just weren't able to compete with it, really. So, you know, it's kind of in a way, I mean, like, you know, I'm not trying to disrespect the Detroit Tigers here, but I'm going to disrespect the Detroit Tigers here and say that you're basically pitching on easy mode against these guys. And so that's kind of what what Logan Gilbert looked like today. I'm glad that they didn't push it with him. No reason to.

And I thought it was a good opportunity to get, you know, Matt Brash some action, Matthew Boyd some action, Penn Murphy some action, and just kind of cruise into tomorrow. Yeah, by the way, Matt Brash with his stuff against this Tigers lineup, it's just unfair. It's not fair. This team, they swing at everything. And you add Matt Brash's stuff up there and you're like,

this isn't going to go well for you, guys. So it was good to see. But yeah, Gilbert, I would say was, he was good. I hesitate to say that he's like back or anything until we actually see, you know, we seem to do it against a good lineup. But yeah, 84 pitches, 57 strikes from Gilbert today. That's a pretty good ratio. Yeah, I would love to see that kind of efficiency over the course of the next month.

That would be huge. I mean, if they can add a good Logan Gilbert here, if he can get him back on track over the next month and head into the postseason with a good Logan Gilbert, a legit viable, you know, number two, number three, Logan Gilbert. I mean, that's a huge boon for you. So real quick, before we talk about Matthew Boyd, I want to ask you about Sam Haggerty and that play, that play. What play? Sam Haggerty has to be the funniest baseball player alive right now.

That dude goes hard. This is a 6-0 game at the top of the 7th against the Detroit Tigers. you have this game in hand, you can cruise. And this dude is going all out, diving into the, into the, to the netting, going full on Spider-Man, trying to make a catch in foul territory,

bounces off of the netting, and then the ball pops out at the end. I wasn't watching with the sound on at that moment. So I don't know what the official ruling on the catch, or the non-catch was. I saw that they ruled it in no-catch. I don't know what the reasoning on that was. Did you ever figure that out?

I believe the official, ruling is that the net aided in his catch, which means like, you either hit the net first or he had the ball on his glove, but it like, the net like touched it and like, like, yeah. So I, apparently the ball hit the net essentially is what the ruling was. So it wasn't that he dropped it at the end. It was that the ball hit the net. Therefore, it's a dead ball. So, um, yeah, I was, I don't know. I didn't it was I thought maybe it might stand because there wasn't like overwhelming evidence. Um, um, it was. Um, But yeah, just watching it live even. I was just like, that's not a catch. Like, he fell to the ground and the ball popped out. Like nowhere else on earth is that a catch. I didn't even realize that he actually caught the ball in his glove, though, when he first went into the net, I thought he missed it.

Just don't get first into the seats. Yeah. So when I saw the ball pop out, when he landed on the ground, I was like, oh, my God, he actually caught that. That was insane. I mean, A plus for effort. Not even an A for effort. 8 plus forever because

I mean, again, this is a 6-0-0 game, top of the 7th against the Detroit Tigers and Sam Magherty is out here doing this. He did not need to do that. That was completely unnecessary in that moment and a little bit scary because, I mean, you know,

you probably don't want to see your contributor. Yeah, you probably don't want to see your contributors doing that, but I mean, it was really entertaining. Not to mention, he just missed some time with a finger bruise and he you see him grab onto that netting. I was like,

ah, I don't get twisted. So yeah, it was, it's like he literally looked, he would have hurtled like the first two rows and then hopefully landed in an aisle instead of like halfway between row four and five because that could have been really ugly.

He definitely saw Stephen Kwan over the weekend. It was like, I think he mentioned, I think he mentioned in his post game like walk off interview or whatever that, you know, he knew the net was there. so like he felt like he was pretty safe to jump in there. And it did kind of like bungee him back out a little bit.

So but yeah, that was, I mean, I think he was probably headed like to row four or five if there was no net there. But honestly, there was no net there. It might have been a catch. So I just, if he makes that catch, is that the best catch in Mariners history? That's one of them. By the way, what is it with Camerica Park and making Aaron Goldsmith's voice to just the craziest thing? you hear him say Haggerty on that play? I mean,

he's just, he's excited, man. I mean, last year was Fraley. Yeah, it's the Fraley. Now,

now it's Haggerty. I just, I don't know. I don't know what it is with Detroit, but, man, we almost had our second, like,

Jake Frayleys was big because it was extras, game winning, blah, blah, blah. But, like, just in terms of just,

like, impressiveness, Hagerties was, was significantly more impressive. So, um, Yeah, it was certainly a fun moment. Scott got a laugh out of it.

I think Major League Baseball should have just been like, yeah, you know what, it's Detroit. They suck. It stands. We put that on the highlight reel forever now. So like it feels like a very short-sided decision by Major League Baseball to overturn that. But what are you going to do? Yeah.

Yeah, that definitely would be one of those plays that ends up being shown in between commercials on MLB TV. And then I get incredibly tired of it. Like I'm incredibly tired of Paul Goldschmidt's Grand Slam. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the one where the commentator says that he hit a grand slam like five times within 15 seconds. That, yeah, that's not great baseball commentating. I don't know if anyone that's listening to this has seen that highlight, but it's pretty funny, actually. All right, let's talk about Matthew Boyd.

This was such a cool moment for Matthew Boyd. So he gets added to the roster today as one of the expanded roster editions. the Mariners could have made. He was the last possible pitcher that they could add to their roster. 14 pitchers now on the Mariners roster. And we'll talk about Taylor Chamelle as well in a little bit. But he gets to make his Mariners debut after being acquired from the Giants near the trade deadline. And of course, the Mariners, his hometown team growing up, love the Mariners.

And he gets to make his Mariners debut 11 or almost a full year removed from the last time he ever pitched on a major league mound. And the first time back pitching on a major league mound is against the only major league baseball team he's ever known, the Detroit Tigers, in the only home ballpark he's ever known at the major league level. And you could see that the emotions were starting to overwhelm him a little bit before he threw his first pitch. I think he was a little choked up in that moment. And that was pretty cool. And then he he pitched really well. He generated three groundouts to the middle infield and went one, two, three. and that was it, and big smiles

and everyone's hugging him and congratulating him in the dugout. And that's so cool to see. That's so cool to see with this team. It's so cool to see how they welcome a guy that they've probably just met yesterday when he showed up to Detroit, at least a few of them just met and they all, you know,

just rally around him. They know what the story is. They know what his background is. And that was really, really cool to see. But let's talk about, you know, what he brings to this team. We know that they're going to try to stretch him out for a long relief role. How does he fit? How does he fit down the road? What do you think is kind of the ceiling for Matthew Boyd as a mariner the rest of the way? Yeah. I think the Mariners probably hope that

he's drew Pomerantz, remember him from a few years ago, was a starter. Then he got traded, pushed to the bullpen. And he was very good. I think it was for San Francisco. Yeah, I think it was San Francisco. Yeah. And so I think that's kind of what they're hoping. a guy who can go, you know, get you anywhere between three to eight, nine outs if needed. But we'll see how it goes. He, you know, he didn't really, he pitched multiple innings, I think twice in Tacoma. So it's something they're clearly working on. But I think for the most part, what you're looking at is is the boy, we know Scott loves lefty, lefty,

which I don't care about, but Scott does. So fine, whatever. So there's the lefty in the pin. he'll go face yorda on alvarez instead of Andres munoz for some unknown reason but whatever like that that's what scott does that's what scott likes to do but yeah i think i think the role is you know you're hoping he can miss some bats you know is they're hoping he can go four plus outs and kind of just shorten that game be the bridge i don't think they're they're planning on like piggybacking him with anybody i don't

i don't see them doing that i don't think their grand plan is for him to you know get a start for marco or something like that. I think it's just bullpen roll, and I think it's mostly, you know, middle-ending stuff. You know, maybe there is a tough lefty out there. Maybe it's, you know, Matt Olson this weekend or next week.

And, you know, you go to Boyd to try and get Olson out. And if he does, great, if not, then you feel okay about him facing Riley or as much as you can anyway. So I think that's pretty much what it is. I don't think it's a luggy. I don't think it's a piggyback guy. I think it's just a guy.

Middle reliever. let's try and get four or five outs out of them if we can kind of hopefully the lefty version of what they're using Matt Brash as right now. Yeah. And Brash obviously has been great. And Boyd's look good so far both in Tacoma and then of course today. So that's really cool. And it's just really cool for him as a Mariners fan as a kid to join this team and help be a part of their runs ending this playoff. I mean, he must be just beside himself. right now. Really cool stuff for Matthew Boyd. All right. So Taylor Chmell was the other edition today. So no surprises from the Mariners. Thankfully. I was really hoping that this would be just straightforward,

Boyd and Tramel get added. And that's what it was this morning. And Tramel even started today. Started in right field. And we saw exactly why I want Taylor Trammel on the big league club right now. there was a moment i believe it was either the second or third inning and the the tigers had a runner in scoring position um and there was a little bloop fly into right and honestly if Mitch hanniger's in right field that ball probably falls and the tigers probably score there instead tremel makes a diving catch and again that's exactly why I wanted Taylor Chamele on this team. Secondly, later on in the game, it's a blowout, and they take Julio out of the game and guess who goes in the center field?

Taylor Chimel, because he can actually play center field. So that's another reason why I wanted Taylor Chamele on this team. Not a good day for him at the plate. Whatever. We'll see if he's actually able to contribute at the plate offensively. But the defensive value, the base running, all that, that's why I wanted Taylor Chamele on this roster. And we already saw that today.

Yeah, you know, Taylor still not really equipped to hit lefties. It's just he's probably a platoon, a strong side platoon guy anyways, gets the start in left field or in right field today against the lefty. So not all that's surprise. He didn't perform that well at the plate. But again, like you said, you see the value defensively of, you know, if Jesse versus Taylor against the lefty, you probably might as well just, I mean, you might as well just go Taylor if you have to pick one of those two guys because at least he's going to give you something defensively. And, you know, Taylor did draw a walk today. So he did get on base.

The Mariners are about to face, you know, three straight righties this weekend. So I would imagine that we're going to see Taylor and left Winker DH for the most part. And then maybe Winker gets a game in left field so Hanger can D.H. But I think for the most part, you're going to see Taylor Tremel more or less the everyday left fielder. And Winker is going to transition full time to D.H. I think we're going to see a lot less of Carlos Santana, which, Thank God for that. So Santana will still get some at-bats, but, I mean, let's, let's be honest.

Carlos Santana. Stop being so negative, Colby. Stop it. Yes. My bad. I forgot Carlos Santana hit those balls really hard a few weeks ago, so he deserves to stay forever in the DH. Like, just, whatever. You know, if you want to use Carlos Santana, he can hit lefties.

So put him in, put him in against lefties at DH and bench Jesse Winker. And we saw that last night against. Alexander. Right. And so the only the only reason that, you know, he wasn't in there today or Santana wasn't in there today. It's because they wanted to give Hanager a D.H. day game after a night game. So Santana will still get a few games

a week. But I think for the most part, where you're going to see, you're going to see Winker is the D.H. primarily. You're going to see Tremel in left field against lefties. You're probably going to see Haggerty and left field against Rides. And then I guess against lefties, you'll probably see Santana D.H. and Winker on the bench. Would be

my guess. Yeah. Yeah. And there's a lot of different combinations and fun stuff Scott Service can do. He has depth. He has some depth now. So, and that's fun to play with him. He's got bodies. I mean, if Jesse Winker's on your bench sometimes, that's, that's, that's tough. That's, come on, give me this one.

Give me this one. Give me this one. I'd say Jake Lamb is better depth, but sure. No. You're rag so hard. Well, people are wrong about Jake Lamb. I don't get why you won't use them. How to base it today, clearly better than anybody else on the team.

So, no, it's, I think, you know, particularly when a lefties on the mound and you're going to have those power righties coming out of the out of the bullpen. You're going to have lamb. You're going to have Winker. You're going to have, you know, if you need to, Santana, if you really want that matchup. So, yeah, I feel like, you know, it's a better bench. Toro even looks better. since coming up i know it's only three games and and all that stuff but torrho just he haven't seen any infield pop-ups that i can remember that's good that's a great sign for abraham

toro so um yeah i just i feel like you know and we'll see what they do with toro because fraser hasn't exactly run away with he had a pretty rough august so uh we'll see how they want to use abraham toro uh but uh yeah it sounds like it's going to be a few more weeks with with more so torrows probably here for the rest of the year and and we'll see how we'll see how they decide to use everything but yeah obviously you know Toro can run off the bench Haggertie can run off the bench if you need them to got some power off the bench you got some some some you know batting eye off the off the bench um not a ton of defensive versatility but you know what are you going to do you lost dillamore that's that was kind of your guy so it is what it is

second today that was really nice from Toro I was very impressive oh Toro's got a hose like it's it's very impressive arm I mean obviously he's a third baseman so that makes sense but Toro's been okay at second base. He's not bad out there. You can do a lot of worse than Toro. So we'll see. Maybe he's the second baseman against lefties. And, you know, Frazier finds the bench.

And then you have Frazier as a runner or, you know, defensive replacement. So, yeah, the Mariners, they have some options. It'll be interesting to see how they try and play things. Lefty, righty, are they going to do strict platoons, blah, blah, blah, stuff like that. So we'll see what they decide to do. But, yeah, Scott has options off the bench. He's got the, he's got the nine-man bowl. which is what he always wanted anyways.

So we'll see, and hopefully that means a little less, Andreas Munoz. Hopefully that means a little less Paul Seawald. Because, you know, Munoz only had to pitch one game in this series. So he should be pretty good to go for this Cleveland series. Same goes for Seawald and Castillo. So Mariners' bullpen's in pretty good shape

now. They add another arm to it. The bench is looking as good as it can. And yep, they're ready to roll. This is the squad. And I don't foresee them making any raw changes barring an injury of some kind. So hopefully they can avoid it. They've been pretty lucky so far this year,

but I think this is the squad. I think they're going to roll with it. Let's ride. That's going to do it for our show. Thank you so much for Jordan. Real fast, real fast. Okay, okay, okay. I just want to point out,

I think it's cool that in the last week, all right, the last calendar week, we've seen Jake Lamb hit a home run on each row weekend, make a great play at first base, couldn't get in the lineup the next few days, got to start Carlos Santana for some reason, whatever. And then we saw Matthew Boyd make his debut. Both of these guys grew up in the Seattle area.

They were Mariners fans growing up. They were fans of each row. They were fans of the same players that you and I were fans of. And it's just really cool to see them both. You know, for Lamb, it wasn't his Mariners debut, but gets the big home run at Team Mobile Park celebrating a franchise icon. And then you have Matthew Boyd pitching wearing a Mariners uniform against his former team for the first time on a major league mound in 361 days.

It's pretty awesome. It's pretty awesome week for the Mariners in general. Obviously on top of that, Ichero's celebration itself and Julio's extension, it's been a good week to be a Seattle Mariner. So it's just cool to see guys who are actually excited to be Seattle Mariners, kind of step up and play big roles here in the last week or so. Yeah, it's very cool, very cool stuff. just how could you not be romantic about baseball?
