| 0:17.0 | Seattle Times, Ryan Divish, joining us now on the Emerald Queen Casino Sports Book Hotline. Ryan, how's it going? Oh, not too bad. Just a weird wraparound series. Yeah. Rapping up. Very weird having a matinee on a Monday. I will say a weird series, but so far a good one for Seattle taking three in a row and they badly needed it. I know Houston's pitching isn't great. |
| 0:38.5 | But what have you seen from Seattle's offense that does feel really encouraging? |
| 0:42.9 | Well, they recognize that Houston's pitching is awful and they decided, you know what, |
| 0:47.8 | it would be smarter not to swing so much and wait them out, let them walk you guys, |
| 0:52.3 | get some base runners, and then, you know, find a way to get big hits. |
| 0:55.4 | I mean, they haven't got as many hits maybe as they should have. |
| 0:58.1 | Given, like, I think they walk, Hussons walk like 26 guys and hit like five, you probably should have scored 10 runs every game. |
| 1:05.6 | But it's still, it's still better to see them sticking to an approach that was more along the lines of what they |
| 1:13.2 | were supposed to do. |
| 1:15.9 | You know, that's what they wanted to do is kind of have that more patient approach, see more |
| 1:20.0 | pitches, and then when they get opportunities to really hit fastballs, and they started to do |
| 1:25.2 | that. |
| 1:26.2 | And I think that's something that you build on ahead. |
| 1:28.8 | Obviously, when they go to San Diego, they won't do this sort of pitching. |
| 1:32.9 | But at the same time, it's more sustainable to be a little more selective at the |
| 1:37.2 | point than getting up there and swinging at pitches. |
| 1:39.6 | They're not even close to the strike zone. |
| 1:41.9 | Ryan, Mariners obviously benefiting from playing a wounded team here this weekend, |
