D&B 12: We called this Episode 13
TRADE DEADLINE TALK. Should the Mariners buy? How much should they buy? Should they sell (they should sell)? Why won’t they sell. Also, some bad jokes.
TRADE DEADLINE TALK. Should the Mariners buy? How much should they buy? Should they sell (they should sell)? Why won’t they sell. Also, some bad jokes.
0:00 – 39:30 Meg Rowley of Baseball Prospectus joins the show to talk Mariner playoff chances, DRA, smart people, and Bartolo Colon.
40:30-1:24:00 Twitter Q&A, some average foods, Ariel Miranda’s underratedness, and the Ballad of Justin Seager.
n what can only be described as a Happiness Tornado Scott and Nathan sit down for an emergency quick hitter on the news of Jean Segura’s imminent 5 year, $70 million dollar extension.
Does this make the M’s instant contenders? Hell no!
Does this markedly change our opinion that the team should probably rebuild? Hells nah!
Does this make the Seattle Mariners better, now and in the future, while also improving our evaluation of Jerry Dipoto as General Manager? You bet your sweet, glistening, rehabbing Mitch Haniger quad muscle it does.
0:00-41:00 Would you like to hear about the current state of the Mariners organization!?!? Too bad you will hear it now.
41:05-1:24:00 Yall asked us questions, so we answered them.
(This week’s episode brought to you by Noah Dupont and his generous donation in goods amounting to a worth of $16)
Nathan gets the duct tape removed, to the detriment of the show. The guys talk about the excitement of overcoming long odds, the outfield depth, and more. Scott and David try to name Mariner pitchers.
Twitter takes are read, and mostly ignored, but appreciated. We answer a few questions, and bid you adieu.
Scott and David take over the podcast and talk playoff odds, potential rebuild, who the NFL version of the Mariners is, and answer your Q&A — all while Nathan is locked in a closet with absolutely zero slacks.
Ten games into the season the Mariners, yes, your Seattle Mariners, are 2-8. In these trying, unfamiliar times, Scott, David, and Nathan are here to comfort you, primarily by telling you everything we hate about this baseball team.
Come quickly, Great One. Go biz.
0:00-50:00 BASEBALL, it is here. Listen as we tell you exactly what will happen in the 2017 Mariners season. Gasp in shock and horror at which of us chooses the pessimist role. Rewind and listen carefully as Scott attempts to join us from inside a tin can, FROM THE FUTURE. It’s all here. You may skip the season now.
50:00-1:08:00 Jonah Keri, famed Canadian, Internet Man, and The Real Young Pope joins us for a national perspective on the team.
1:08:00-1:35:00 Twitter Q&A. Nathan yells at a cow, we still can’t understand Scott, David makes a pun, and we thus have to banish him for life.
710 ESPN beat writer, radio stalwart, and midwestern fast food devotee Shannon Drayer joins the show to talk Mariners (yes actual baseball this time. Well, Spring Training baseball), cheese curds, life on Twitter, and more.
(Episode 3 is brought to you by our generous sponsor James from Fresno)
In a desperate attempt to hold off attributing anything resembling meaning to Spring Training baseball Scott, David, and Nathan do nothing but answer your non-baseball questions.
SOMEHOW, the Mariners’ play by play announcer Aaron Goldsmith graciously joins us, to discuss pizza, LaCroix, and so much more*. We are so very grateful to Aaron for his time, and even more so, his patience.
