Mariners CHOOSE Not To Start Their Ace In MONUMENTAL SERIES + Joe Doyle

[@saqibrasoolofficial]

Brilliant conversation. Interesting to peak into the mind of mariners. Really enjoyed. Thank you.

I agree about not getting too worked up about what Dipoto said on the radio, but at the same time the history of this franchise does not exactly instill me with confidence, and there are soo many teams still chasing a playoffs birth that I could see little to no dynamic moves made by this team.

This actually makes total sense... Gilbert and Miller stink against Houston compared to the other three... Bryan Woo has the advantage with not facing the Astros this season, but in his only start against them they managed a meager .143/.182/.191 triple slash good for a .372 OPS against Woo. Kirby is our second best pitcher against Houston, giving up a triple slash of .229/.257/.257 good for a .514 OPS career by the Astros against George in 5 total starts, which has only improved in 2024, as the Astros have faced him twice this year for a .214/.214/.239 tripole which equates to a .457 OPS against Houston. Castillo is the most hittable of the three we are throwing this weekend. He has 5 career starts against them with a .212/.268/.373 triple, which comes to a .641 OPS, this year he's improved on that number to a .217/.250/.348, which dropped him to a .598 OPS in his lone start this year against the 'Stros. Gilbert on the other hand has a .715 OPS against Houston over the last four yerars and 11 starts. He has improved some to a .208/.283/.396 triple slash good for a .679 OPS against the Astros. Combine that with him having his best start of the year and owning the Angels who we play in our next series, this move is very defensible. I think it's worth considering the innnings he's thrown as well... 132.1 IP vs 117.1 IP and 17.2 IP for Castillo and Kirby respectively, along with 109 for Miller. Woo and Hancock have only thrown 44 IP and 45.1 IP each, barely equaling 2/3 of the innings Logan has thrown this season to date....

Love what this team is doing. Jerry and Stanton have been electric as an ownership/ baseball operations tandem. And you Scott. You have taught this team to dance as one unit in the middle of the diamond after those few but precious victories. Standing Os to go around. Bravo. 👏👏

Had a question if you happen to get around to it, Kip Fougerousse out of Evansville who had an impressive year (albeit his age isn’t ideal) and made a splash in the Regional and Super Regional doesn’t get an opportunity at the next level!? I’ve been checking the UDFA tracker after being shocked he wasn’t at least a 20th RD pick, but no one is taking a chance on this guy. Is there something I’m missing? Off the field issues?

[@StandingWithUkraine]

Great episode lads

[@MarineLayerPod]

Thanks so much!

[@joshuasorrt8241]

All Dipoto did was prep the fanbase indirectly/directly they will not be serious buyers at the deadline and temper expectations. 9 years of Dipotos so called “ Step Back “ and we have zero to show for it . Funny….. I wonder if the fanbase would have voted for T-Mobile/Safeco Field to be built truly knowing now how this ownership team would operate

[@martinherzog9441]

I find it hard to believe that nobody is available get it done! Even if it’s not a big name there is going to be upgrades available

[@Covert_Smalls]

Joe Doyle looks nothing like I imagined!! Great guest, try to have him on regularly (once per month?)

[@MarineLayerPod]

He's the best!

[@martinherzog9441]

I agree it’s quite odd the three top pitchers should go this weekend could be a big point looking back if it falls apart.. I just don’t see how the pros outweigh the cons in this situation

[@jasonpeters6600]

From this organization, not shocking. They get swept.

[@jacobmayer7803]

Did you know the Keith Law was going off how the draft in Texas was a better vibe than Seahawks stadium?? As for Logan Gilbert, any odds he just wanted an extra day? If Castillo went Monday instead I think that’s about 10 days in between for him

[@MarineLayerPod]

Was he really saying Texas was better? That’s definitely a take And it just feels like they need their best arm this weekend against Houston. It’s such a crucial series

[@jacobmayer7803]

@@MarineLayerPod I agree I’d like to see Logan beat Houston for us. And that we need batS (plural) at the deadline. But when I get stressed about it all, if I told you before the season that we’d have a (1 game) lead on the AL West at the break, relatively healthy, you’d take it, no? Anyways, thanks for bringing Joe on, he’s great!!

[@Sunnbobb]

Scott's lack of feel for the situation, sticking to the script, is fully exposed here.

[@joshuasorrt8241]

Hopefully this will be the year that wakes up all M’s fans and unites them to stop supporting this terrible franchise that cares zero about their fanbase and winning. Amazes me every year how an Ownership team can have such a disconnect with its fanbase/community. Sell the team!!

[@dahall8337]

The senile geezers that own the team don’t give a rats ass about the fans. Watch the ship take on water the next 2 months & eventually sink by Sept. F ownership, Dipoto & Servais!!

[@GRUMPY656799]

It’s all by design.. if you have not figured this out.. shame on you.. Fifty-four lives on
