Speaker 1: Welcome to Opposition territory here at the Philadelphia Sports Table
0:28
Speaker 1: podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast show
0:31
Speaker 1: in the world. Love being in your ears If you're
0:34
Speaker 1: watching on YouTube. Yes, it's Jeff Warren here from the
0:38
Speaker 1: PSD podcast show, and I'm with my guest this week
0:41
Speaker 1: from Lookout Landing, great Espanation site, and she writes about
0:45
Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners. And as folks know who've been listening
0:49
Speaker 1: to this show for some time, in terms of my
0:52
Speaker 1: AL West team and my AL team that I've rooted
0:55
Speaker 1: for ever since Ken Griffy Junior was on the team,
0:59
Speaker 1: I root for this Seattle Mariners every now and again.
1:01
Speaker 1: So we have with us from Lookout Landing, Becca Weinberg. Becca,
1:06
Speaker 1: how you doing.
1:07
Speaker 2: I'm good. Thank you so much for having me.
1:09
Speaker 1: It's great to have you. It's great to be able
1:11
Speaker 1: to talk about this team that I've been wanting to
1:13
Speaker 1: talk about now for for many many years. As I mentioned,
1:16
Speaker 1: they're my AL team that I root for. And uh uh,
1:20
Speaker 1: you know, I think with this team where they are
1:24
Speaker 1: at right now in the AL West and as of
1:28
Speaker 1: us recording this, they are first. They are first in
1:30
Speaker 1: the AL West. But I'm wondering if we can start
1:32
Speaker 1: the discussion here beca from an expectation standpoint at the
1:37
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, even even during the preseason, how
1:40
Speaker 1: have the Mariners really surprised you, even surprised the fan
1:44
Speaker 1: base thus far this season?
1:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I saw like all the
1:49
Speaker 3: predictions at the beginning of the season, like that they
1:52
Speaker 3: were going to be a pretty solid contender, and I
1:54
Speaker 3: honestly did not believe most of them.
1:57
Speaker 2: I just like, you know, with Donovan.
2:00
Speaker 3: Alongo kind of being like your prize off season possession,
2:03
Speaker 3: like he's thirty seven, Like, it doesn't just give you
2:05
Speaker 3: a ton of hope for like how they're going to
2:07
Speaker 3: progress throughout the season. But you know, as like the
2:10
Speaker 3: playoff percentages and when percentages have continued to increase as
2:13
Speaker 3: the season goes on, I just like can't really nor
2:15
Speaker 3: them now. So I'd say, like, I don't have a
2:18
Speaker 3: ton of hope at the beginning of the season, but
2:20
Speaker 3: I've been really pleasantly surprised with how things are going
2:23
Speaker 3: so far. I think we've had some great players stepping
2:26
Speaker 3: up in big moments. The pitching generally has been lights out.
2:30
Speaker 3: It's had been coming. I'm I'm slowly i'd say, seeing
2:33
Speaker 3: what other people start to see in the team, and
2:35
Speaker 3: I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic for the rest of the season.
2:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pitching really has been We're going to get
2:41
Speaker 1: into this in just a second here. The pitching has
2:43
Speaker 1: certainly been like, I think beyond like the productivity level.
2:48
Speaker 1: I initially thought it was going to be at the preseason,
2:52
Speaker 1: but then from an offensive standpoint, there certainly have been
2:55
Speaker 1: some struggles with the Mariners as well. You know, we're
2:57
Speaker 1: going to get into that for sure. But you know what,
3:00
Speaker 1: why don't we really start off with the pitching here?
3:02
Speaker 1: Because the starting pitching on this team Brian Wu I mean,
3:05
Speaker 1: he's having quite the year with his what is two
3:08
Speaker 1: point four zero e r A, sixty strikeouts, five wins.
3:12
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo has an ERA of three point three to two,
3:16
Speaker 1: which isn't too shabby either, Logan Gilbert. He's also leaving
3:20
Speaker 1: his mark in terms of his starts, even though he's
3:23
Speaker 1: only pitched a little over thirty innings or so at
3:27
Speaker 1: this point. How would you assess where the starting pitching
3:29
Speaker 1: is at here at the end of May heading into June,
3:32
Speaker 1: for this Mariners team beca yeah.
3:35
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, I've been really impressed. I'll start by saying, now,
3:38
Speaker 3: like just missing two cy On candidates and still like
3:42
Speaker 3: being at the top of the division like definitely makes
3:45
Speaker 3: me hopeful, especially once we had Gilbert and Kirby back,
3:48
Speaker 3: and then you know, wu Castillo, Emerson, Hancock and now
3:53
Speaker 3: Logan evidents have all really stepped up in those absences,
3:56
Speaker 3: and now with Brysman, we're working on his injury as well.
4:00
Speaker 3: And you know a lot of people said like it
4:02
Speaker 3: was the best rotation in baseball last year, and I
4:04
Speaker 3: really do believe that. And I know, like the current
4:08
Speaker 3: numbers are a little skewed due to those absences of
4:10
Speaker 3: you know, like many of our top pitchers, but I
4:14
Speaker 3: think the numbers aren't really too far behind once we
4:16
Speaker 3: get farther into this season, and I just, yeah, I
4:20
Speaker 3: know that they'll continue to improve. And just being able
4:22
Speaker 3: to still like keep your keep that spot at the
4:25
Speaker 3: top of the rotation while we're missing like a couple
4:27
Speaker 3: of key contributors, I think that really just speaks to
4:29
Speaker 3: how well we've been doing so far.
4:31
Speaker 1: Do you think that's more because of you know, the
4:33
Speaker 1: pitching coaches or is it just kind of the veteran
4:36
Speaker 1: presence on this team to say we are in a
4:39
Speaker 1: certain moment and we need to step up here. You know,
4:41
Speaker 1: what do you attribute that to? Like you said, you
4:43
Speaker 1: know you're the pitching the starting pitching rotation is missing
4:47
Speaker 1: some key folks. How are they actually getting it done?
4:50
Speaker 1: I mean, is it just the veteran presence or is
4:52
Speaker 1: it is it coaching? Is it another variable that we
4:56
Speaker 1: necessarily aren't thinking about.
4:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's it's a mix of both.
5:01
Speaker 3: I mean, our pitching coach, Peopleworth, has been really amazing
5:04
Speaker 3: since he's been on the team, and I've seen like
5:07
Speaker 3: tons of videos just like on social media of our
5:10
Speaker 3: the veteran presence, like in action, Like there were a
5:13
Speaker 3: couple actually just from Logan Evans start yesterday of like
5:17
Speaker 3: Cal talking in before the game and making a game
5:19
Speaker 3: plan and just Luis Castillo kind of like pushed him
5:22
Speaker 3: out of the to the front of the high five line,
5:25
Speaker 3: so when he was done with his start, like everyone
5:26
Speaker 3: would come to him first and.
5:27
Speaker 2: Five of them.
5:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a great, like really welcoming attitude, it
5:31
Speaker 3: seems like in the callbouse, and so I think that's
5:33
Speaker 3: definitely also a key factor.
5:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to really also get into the bullpen
5:40
Speaker 1: and what that has been looking like. However, I want
5:43
Speaker 1: to make sure we get some promos out here for you.
5:46
Speaker 1: Lookout Landing dot com, folks, that's where you can go
5:49
Speaker 1: to get some great Mariners, information on the team, some
5:52
Speaker 1: great content, great articles, great pieces that they're putting up there.
5:55
Speaker 1: Becca and her colleagues over there. Where can they find
5:58
Speaker 1: you on social media US maybe some other outlets that
6:02
Speaker 1: you're writing for. Becca, let everybody know, Yeah, thank you,
6:06
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
6:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:07
Speaker 3: Twitter is the main place to find me. It's just
6:10
Speaker 3: Becca Underscore Weinberg. And then I also write for Circling
6:14
Speaker 3: Seattle Sports, another really great say in Seattle. I cover
6:18
Speaker 3: for them the Seattle rain Are women's professional soccer team
6:22
Speaker 3: and then our two professionals frisbee teams, which is really
6:25
Speaker 3: fun to cover as well.
6:27
Speaker 1: All right, very good, very good again, Becca Underscore Weinberg, folks.
6:31
Speaker 1: She's a great, great follow over there on Twitter slash X.
6:34
Speaker 1: I do like how you called it Twitter, because like
6:36
Speaker 1: I'm just just calling I'm calling it.
6:39
Speaker 2: I can't do it.
6:40
Speaker 1: I know. I love how you forget this X crap.
6:44
Speaker 1: It's just crap. I don't care if that's officially the
6:46
Speaker 1: company's name or not. It will always be Twitter to me, So.
6:49
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm with you.
6:51
Speaker 1: Moving over to the bullpen here, Andre's Andre Munos. I
6:56
Speaker 1: mean he already has seventeen saves on the season. Matt Brash,
6:59
Speaker 1: he's been tremendous coming out of the bullpen as well.
7:02
Speaker 1: I think he's got like a one point one six
7:05
Speaker 1: seven six whip, which is the best of his career
7:08
Speaker 1: this year. Let's get into some positives and negatives about
7:12
Speaker 1: this bullpen. I mean, let's start with some of the
7:14
Speaker 1: positives here, beco, what have you been seeing with this
7:17
Speaker 1: team in terms of positives coming out of the bullpen?
7:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like you said, Munos has been like
7:23
Speaker 3: absolutely lights out. He still has not like put up
7:26
Speaker 3: an earn around all season, so that's been like pretty
7:28
Speaker 3: incredible to see.
7:29
Speaker 2: He's just always been someone the team can.
7:30
Speaker 3: Like really depend on in the high leverage situations. And
7:33
Speaker 3: then Brash has been another great addition. I think they're
7:36
Speaker 3: still a little worry about, like overused with him because
7:40
Speaker 3: he just came back, but he was gonna Yeah, yeah,
7:44
Speaker 3: I don't just from what I've seen and like read,
7:46
Speaker 3: I think that's what is kind of happening right now.
7:49
Speaker 3: But he's always been like a consistent addition to the bullpen,
7:52
Speaker 3: and I think he'll continue to be like his usual
7:55
Speaker 3: continue to be remped up throughout the season. I just
7:57
Speaker 3: think right now they're being a little careful, But I mean, yeah,
8:02
Speaker 3: I think with those two like they're they're really two
8:04
Speaker 3: pictures you can rely on in all really like important
8:08
Speaker 3: situations that.
8:09
Speaker 2: They put in.
8:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. But in terms of you know,
8:12
Speaker 1: if we do a one eighty here and we talk
8:14
Speaker 1: about the negatives for this bullpen, nothing in Major League
8:17
Speaker 1: Baseball is perfect, and certainly no bullpen is perfect, what
8:21
Speaker 1: are your thoughts in terms of the negatives that you've
8:24
Speaker 1: seen thus far this season coming out of the bullpen
8:26
Speaker 1: for the Mariners.
8:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say just inconsistencies and like both performance
8:33
Speaker 3: and personnel, Like there's just been a lot of changes
8:35
Speaker 3: throughout the year with.
8:36
Speaker 2: People coming in and going.
8:39
Speaker 3: I think I wouldn't say I have like confidence in
8:42
Speaker 3: every single person in there to like hold a slim
8:45
Speaker 3: lead if they're put in in that situation, and some
8:48
Speaker 3: people like like they had before, but then they'll be
8:50
Speaker 3: put in that situation again. And they will blow up
8:53
Speaker 3: like one run lead or something. So but I will say, like,
8:57
Speaker 3: they have got us to where we are now, so
8:59
Speaker 3: I I hope.
9:00
Speaker 2: To see them continue improve as well.
9:01
Speaker 3: I think that's just the main thing is kind of
9:03
Speaker 3: those little like inconsistencies that you see pop up.
9:06
Speaker 1: I think when I watch the games that I have
9:09
Speaker 1: been able to watch every now and again with the Mariners,
9:12
Speaker 1: and I look at the bullpen sometimes it reminds me
9:15
Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia Phillies who we look at and cover
9:17
Speaker 1: here at the PST podcast show, where sometimes I feel
9:20
Speaker 1: like they're trying to throw something against the wall see
9:23
Speaker 1: what sticks. I feel like we get that every now
9:26
Speaker 1: and again from this Mariner's bullpen as well. Do you
9:28
Speaker 1: get that feeling too?
9:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. I think I've
9:33
Speaker 3: seen nine definitely previous seasons and a little bit this.
9:36
Speaker 2: Season as well.
9:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, Well, as we're moving along with the
9:39
Speaker 1: conversation here, wanted to talk about the offense, so let's
9:43
Speaker 1: move into that area of this Mariners team. You know,
9:46
Speaker 1: they've had some hot bats of course this season, but
9:50
Speaker 1: like right out of the gate, I mean this team
9:52
Speaker 1: was like I was like, oh my god, nobody's going
9:53
Speaker 1: to stop this team at all. But then they have
9:57
Speaker 1: certainly had some challenges as of late beca, especially against
10:00
Speaker 1: the Astros in the recent series with them. Or Hey,
10:03
Speaker 1: Polanco was one of the hottest hitters in March and
10:07
Speaker 1: April in Major League Baseball. Now now he's one of
10:09
Speaker 1: the coldest hitters in MLB. Are the hitting challenges they've
10:14
Speaker 1: been having more because of injuries, streaky play, maybe some regression,
10:20
Speaker 1: maybe a combination of a few of these variables here,
10:23
Speaker 1: you know, what are your thoughts on why we've seen
10:25
Speaker 1: the Mariners having these type of offensive challenges that they've
10:28
Speaker 1: been having as a lead.
10:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, like the season is long,
10:32
Speaker 3: like everyone goes on streets, everyone has It's just kind
10:35
Speaker 3: of how how the game works. And so I obviously
10:37
Speaker 3: it was like I was really excited to see Polanca's
10:39
Speaker 3: hot star. I don't think anybody was expecting that. But
10:43
Speaker 3: I'm also like, I wouldn't say I'm super worried about
10:45
Speaker 3: where he's at now. I mean, Kallas Leen the ale
10:48
Speaker 3: and home runs. Julio's kind of more funding his stride now.
10:52
Speaker 3: I think many of the lines like he contributors are
10:54
Speaker 3: doing really well. And the new our new hitting coach,
10:58
Speaker 3: Kevin Sitzer. He's coming with this new philosophy of kind
11:01
Speaker 3: of like an aggressive approach, but also this emphasis on
11:05
Speaker 3: just like keeping it simple and just like really focusing
11:07
Speaker 3: on those like few things that you need to do
11:09
Speaker 3: about the plate.
11:11
Speaker 2: And so I think, you.
11:12
Speaker 3: Know, the lineups in that aspect, the lineups do look
11:15
Speaker 3: much better than last season. In my opinion, I think
11:18
Speaker 3: there rec challenges could be due to like a variety
11:20
Speaker 3: of those factors that you said, But as long as
11:23
Speaker 3: they kind of continue on that path that sites there's
11:26
Speaker 3: been kind of laying out for them and like focusing
11:28
Speaker 3: on those like simple important aspects, I think hopefully there
11:31
Speaker 3: will be some more hit streaks to come.
11:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's definitely the hope for sure. But you
11:37
Speaker 1: mentioned something that I want to follow up on because
11:40
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting when when I'm watching the majority
11:43
Speaker 1: of baseball games that I watch as a Phillies fan,
11:45
Speaker 1: I watch this Phillies team. I mean, if you follow
11:49
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and you understand some of the rosters
11:52
Speaker 1: here and there on different teams, the Phillies they are
11:54
Speaker 1: a power hitting team. I mean, they're not about playing
11:58
Speaker 1: small ball but sometimes I feel like the Mariners are,
12:00
Speaker 1: and sometimes I think there's a place for that in
12:02
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball these days, where it's not all about
12:05
Speaker 1: the launch angle, it's not all about how many home
12:07
Speaker 1: runs they're going to be able to hit, and not
12:10
Speaker 1: if just home runs are going to be the end
12:12
Speaker 1: all be all to winning games from an offensive perspective.
12:16
Speaker 1: I have a feeling and the games I've seen with
12:18
Speaker 1: the Mariners and following them this season, it's not just
12:22
Speaker 1: about the home runs, you know, It's about, like you said,
12:24
Speaker 1: getting on base, making sure that that small ball is
12:28
Speaker 1: being played every now and again. I'll take a single
12:31
Speaker 1: every now and again from certain guys that need to
12:33
Speaker 1: get going, that have been streaky, that need to get
12:35
Speaker 1: their offense in gear. I don't know. Do you see
12:38
Speaker 1: the small ball being played a little bit more with
12:40
Speaker 1: this Mariners team this season and if that's good for
12:44
Speaker 1: this team overall?
12:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean i'd say definitely, Like, especially when you
12:48
Speaker 3: have like the heart of the lineup that we do,
12:51
Speaker 3: I think that like the rest of the lineup's job
12:54
Speaker 3: is just to get on base, and then like you
12:56
Speaker 3: kind of have those the people who can hit home
12:59
Speaker 3: runs to kind of carry you through that, but I
13:01
Speaker 3: think kind of like the expectation for the rest of
13:03
Speaker 3: the lineup is like your job is to get on base.
13:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I definitely I've definitely seen that this season. Yeah.
13:09
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Again, folks, we're talking to Becca Weinberg from lookout
13:13
Speaker 1: Landing dot com, great esp nation site that focuses on
13:17
Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners team that we're talking about here. So
13:21
Speaker 1: let's get into now the biggest strengths and weaknesses here
13:26
Speaker 1: on this Mariner's team, you know, as it pertains really
13:30
Speaker 1: to the batting here. You know, we've kind of talked
13:32
Speaker 1: about it from an offensive standpoint already here, but in
13:36
Speaker 1: your in your analysis from what you have seen thus far, beca,
13:40
Speaker 1: let's start with the biggest strengths on on this team.
13:43
Speaker 1: What is that when when it pertains to the batting
13:46
Speaker 1: on this team?
13:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I may have like answered this in
13:50
Speaker 3: one of your previous questions, but I think just like
13:52
Speaker 3: adapting to that new approach, you know, they're they're now
13:56
Speaker 3: with this completely new hitting coach, kind of like transitioning
13:59
Speaker 3: away from a problem from last season. Their straightout rate
14:02
Speaker 3: is way down. I actually wrote down this tweet I
14:05
Speaker 3: saw that they were in at the beginning of the
14:07
Speaker 3: month of May, they ranked second in the AL and
14:10
Speaker 3: home runs, roams, storm bases, walks, and WRC plus since.
14:15
Speaker 2: August first of twenty twenty four. Wow.
14:17
Speaker 3: So I think the play discipline just has really improved.
14:20
Speaker 3: It is a big part of like why they've been
14:22
Speaker 3: doing so well throughout the season. And I think it
14:24
Speaker 3: definitely goes back to this new philosophy that they're trying.
14:26
Speaker 1: To implement, all right, from a hitting perspective in terms
14:30
Speaker 1: of the weaknesses on this team and how they may
14:33
Speaker 1: actually need to address it. What are your thoughts here?
14:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I might have also said this guy.
14:38
Speaker 3: I think just like the much of the lineup is
14:42
Speaker 3: like so dependent on the heart of the order, So
14:44
Speaker 3: like Cal Julio, Randy of Rose Reina and like maybe
14:47
Speaker 3: sometimes JP Crawford. That's just where good of the amount
14:51
Speaker 3: of offensive production comes from.
14:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so.
14:54
Speaker 3: Like it's not always easy to rely on the rest
14:56
Speaker 3: of the group, even like we said, like when you
14:58
Speaker 3: need people to get on base, can't always rely on
15:01
Speaker 3: everyone in that lineup. So I think I don't know
15:05
Speaker 3: the way to address it probably would have been an
15:06
Speaker 3: off season, you know, to get another bat or two,
15:09
Speaker 3: But I don't think there's too much reason to panic
15:12
Speaker 3: just yet. They still have noe of the top ten
15:14
Speaker 3: offenses in baseball, even like with their current production, and
15:18
Speaker 3: like those players who were hot but now are not,
15:21
Speaker 3: like they're still up there. So I think just kind
15:24
Speaker 3: of like continuing to buy in and you know, hopefully
15:27
Speaker 3: seeing the new kind of like hitting philosophy continue to
15:29
Speaker 3: show up throughout the season.
15:30
Speaker 1: All right, very good. I was wondering if you were
15:32
Speaker 1: going to mention one JP Crawford, who came from the
15:36
Speaker 1: Phillies farm system, and I'm actually wearing the Lee High
15:39
Speaker 1: Valley Yes shirt, which is about twelve minutes down the
15:44
Speaker 1: road from where I live. I saw JP Crawford in
15:48
Speaker 1: Iron Pigs gear in TRIPAA so many times during the
15:51
Speaker 1: course of his career as he was coming up and developing.
15:54
Speaker 1: I love the you mention JP Crawford. Absolutely love that. Becca.
15:58
Speaker 1: So before I let you go here, my friend, we
16:00
Speaker 1: really want to just kind of get into more of
16:02
Speaker 1: an overall topic and discussion with you as we're closing
16:05
Speaker 1: things out here about how this team is going to
16:08
Speaker 1: be competing the rest of the season. And it seems
16:12
Speaker 1: to me they're just going to be competing with the
16:13
Speaker 1: Astros to see who is going to go and remain
16:17
Speaker 1: at the top of the AL West. I mean, I
16:19
Speaker 1: think we may see possibly some back and forth here
16:22
Speaker 1: and there, depending on the wins and losses in the future,
16:25
Speaker 1: how these teams look after the All Star break as well.
16:29
Speaker 1: So my question to you is what are the Mariners
16:31
Speaker 1: need to do to continue remaining at the top of
16:35
Speaker 1: the AL West. What are your thoughts here?
16:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I will say this, For one, I
16:40
Speaker 3: wouldn't count the Raiders just yet.
16:42
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so that's good.
16:43
Speaker 2: I don't know, I wouldn't count them out yet.
16:45
Speaker 3: But with the Astros specifically, I mean we saw like
16:48
Speaker 3: the straits of their bullpen this series. I think they
16:51
Speaker 3: had like three runs allowed in like sixteen and a
16:54
Speaker 3: third innings or something, so like they really locked us down,
16:57
Speaker 3: and I think they keep that is just like getting
17:01
Speaker 3: on the board early and just like getting those early runs,
17:04
Speaker 3: like we've we've been doing pretty well with that throughout
17:06
Speaker 3: the season. I think we just got really shut down
17:08
Speaker 3: that series.
17:10
Speaker 2: But I think in.
17:11
Speaker 3: General just kind of like continuing to utilize just like
17:14
Speaker 3: the depth of our roster and just like I think
17:17
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the key to stay on top. I think,
17:20
Speaker 3: like I said at the beginning, like leading the division
17:22
Speaker 3: right now with like many key contributors that are missing,
17:25
Speaker 3: like or even like not performing to their potential, like
17:29
Speaker 3: those early hitters that we had who are now cooling
17:31
Speaker 3: down a little bit. I think it definitely makes me
17:34
Speaker 3: optimistic to see how the rest of the season could go,
17:37
Speaker 3: just based off of that so far.
17:39
Speaker 1: All right, Very good again, folks. She is Becca Weinberg
17:43
