David, Nathan & Scott breakdown the team’s improbably 13-5 start, how it impacts (or doesn’t) preseason expectations, whether they should trade Jay Bruce and Edwin Encarnacion, what exactly is a “Brandon Brennan”, and a slew of other, oddly topical and insightful subjects.
Let’s talk baseball! The Mariners are 5-1 y’all and that makes absolutely no earthly sense to man nor beast. David, Scott, and Nathan talk about whether expectations are revised after the hot start, who looks real, who looks fake, and why the Mariners should extend Tim Beckham immediately.
Holy forking shirt we are back at it folks! After an episode off we are back at it again with the awesome guests. This episode David, Scott, and Nathan are joined by 710 ESPN’s Shannon Drayer, who has been covering the team for a number of years close listeners and basic mathematicians will figure out on their own.
Shannon talks spring, trumpets, Jeremy Reed Redemption, and laments the State of Felix. She also pretends to hang up on us, which we richly deserve. We sure are thankful to her for joining us, and to you for continuing to listen to…..whatever it is this is.
Now let’s be honest here you fine people we have been working HARD recently. We’ve been 1) RECORDING regularly 2) Having GOOD guests with interesting insight and perspective 3) Not swearing very much. Agreed? In these divisive times can we at least agree on these three points???
Our silly show found our patron years ago in Mariners play by play announcer Aaron Goldsmith. Aaron joins us for another 90+ minutes of baseball talk, Husky Basketball (?), large quantities of roasting, and #dadchat. We are so, so grateful to him for putting up with us, now and always. Please enjoy us doing what we do best, which is nothing
Folks it’s a hot one, and we’ve got two hours of piping hot content for your ears. David and Nathan got up early on a SUNDAY to record with this week’s guest, joining us all the way from the catacombs of the American Library in Paris, France: podcaster, New York Times Bestselling Author, and Howard Schultz Political Platform Opposer Mike Duncan.
Well you all asked for guests and WOW did our guest deliver. Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times joins us for a dirty dalliance with the Mariners of yesteryear, today, and tomorrow.
Want to know who Ryan disliked back in the Day? Ever wondered about Dustin Ackley’s reading habits? What about Padres’ GM A.J. Preller’s jump shot? This and so, so, so much more.
You have invited Episode 25 of the Dome and Bedlam audio podcast into your ear house. What happens next is not our fault, but yours. You put a rabid honey badger in the linen store, there’s gonna be a mess.
0:00 – 40:00 Breaking down the last month of Mariner news – The Santana/Encarnacion acquisitions, Kikuchi’s signing changing the tenor of the offseason, reasons to spend now and minimize the rebuild time, and how to split your brain into rooting for the players, when the organization is so difficult to cheer for.
41:00-1:08:00 TWITTER Q&A! Mariners has A-gap blitzers, French Dip Vs. Pulled Pork, Scott Servais replacements, Coug slander, etc.
All it took was maybe the most completely disastrous three months in the history of the Mariners’ franchise to summon us from our blissful slumber! Here are the things discussed in this episode
-The Mariners, now hear us out, are bad
-Jerry Dipoto is Dutch van der Linde
-The rebuild is good but also not good because it’s only good if you do it good, so do it good
-Definitive scarf takes
-Something called a “Tie Bar”?
-YOUR Q&A
-The Mariners are bad
Hi and/or hello you to, dear listener! Dome and Bedlam has returned from a (for us) brief hiatus to pronounce the death of the 2018 Seattle Mariners. Now, wait, hear us out, we swear this isn’t more mindless complaining. In fact one of us wasn’t even drinking during this recording (see if you can spot which one!).
Scott, David, and Nathan talk about how the Mariners got here, the challenge of the future, and the frustrating mediocrity at the very core of this franchise’s DNA.
