:30- ANGIE MENTINK (ROOT Sports) makes her first appearance of the new baseball season and her first visit as an analyst!

:30- The ABCs of the Mariners

- D: is for defeated and there were too many looks of defeat from the players- how disturbing is that this early in the season?

- F: is for fix- ok Bucky, fix the offense

:45- Saying goodbye to Val Kilmer

The Mariners nightmare is coming true- they managed just 1 hit against the Tigers last night and it’s apparent that the Tigers own the team, not John Stanton.

Yes, it’s early and yes, we know people are sick of hearing that, but still… this is just the worst-case scenario for the start of the season after this team did nothing in the offseason and decided to run it back with the same group expecting different results.

:30- Mariners Morning After…

- Victor Robles managed the team’s only hit and today isn’t looking like the day for the Mariners to get back on track as they face Tarik Skubal

:45- Stocking Stuffers- it doesn’t sound like it’s that kind of draft year where a lot of teams are going to want to move up to 18

- The Philadelphia Eagles might be looking to move up in the draft, but quite a few things would need to fall into place to make a trade work with the Hawks at 18

The first Day of Draftmas is flying by!

- The NFL is passing new rules at the owners meetings, including new OT rules and expanding the replay assist rules.

- As for the tush push, that’s been tabled… for now and so has the playoff seeding proposed by Detroit.

-

And NOW, we go Snooping all around the VMAC to see what John Schneider might be hiding from us. Which one is the real rumor?

- This year NFL owners will ban the tush-push.

- Kaapo Kakko is the Kraken version of Victor Robles

:45- We close out the first day of Draftmas with one last thing!

You know the holiday season is officially here when that crisp, new, Draftmas catalog arrives!

Today, we take a look at the tight ends available in the draft- Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, Terrance Ferguson; who would we like to see the Seahawks pick up this year?

:30- The Mariners lost last night, but the offense did actually put up some numbers, scoring 6 runs on 8 hits. Is there something positive we can take from that?

:45- Torpedo bats are still making headlines after Elly De La Cruz batted in 7 runs using one last night. If only they could make bad hitters better…

Merry Draftmas to all!

Draftmas is finally here and the excitement is in the air… unless your Bucky.

The NFL Draft is the most talked about sporting event of the year, so we celebrate the month leading up to the draft in the best way possible.

:30- Mariners Morning After

- The Mariners lost to the Tigers 9-6 after a rough 2/3 of a 1st inning for Emerson Hancock that saw him exit the game down 6-0.

:45- It’s Stocking Stuffer time!

- We unwrap the rumors floating around the NFL Draft preparations- what are the Browns going to do with the #2 pick?

The Mariners offense got off to a slow start again…

- It was only 4 games, but it doesn’t seem like a lot has changed for the M’s

- Strikeouts and a lack of offense, the Mariners looked the same as they have.

- We know fans get frustrated, but how much do the slow starts affect the mentality of the players?

- Why can’t we hit doubles? Like ever?

:30- It’s Draftmas Eve! Do you have your decorations up? Month-long festivities begin tomorrow!

The Tennessee Titans are on the clock and have said they are considering 4 players at that Number 1 spot… we aren't buying it.

:45- We close out the show with one last thing! Talk to you on Draftmas!

How much credit are we giving to the Torpedo bats?

- It’s not nothing, but there are definitely some benefits to the idea. You can’t credit all 11 of the Yankees HR’s (15 total minus Aaron Judge’s 4) to these bats, but you can’t ignore that something might be there.

- There are reports that a lot of players are reaching out to order them, so maybe we will have a better understanding of the significance when we can see it used by other teams and players.

- Bucky breaks down the significance of the Torpedo bat and the weight distribution and what it can mean for each player’s swing.

:45- We recap our Green Jacket standings… it’s feeling like Bucky could be wearing this thing for a long time…

Who knew Chuck’s team of Polanco and Arozarena would lead things after Opening weekend?
