Furness Show 8-22: Mariners firing Servais, Mollywhop, Chuck Powell, Corbin Smith and Brandon Funston

EMERGENCY MOLLYWHOP! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop give their initial reactions to the Mariners' reported firing of Scott Servais. Crawford thinks they're replacing him with Dan Wilson to do everything they can to keep people coming to the ballpark, while failing. Nathan agrees and doesn't know how we can even fairly evaluate Servais in the circumstances in which he's operated. Chris and Nathan remain with us to react to Dan Wilson taking over for the Mariners, and Chris is surprised they didn't go with Manny Acta or Kristopher Negron. This just points to keeping butts in seats. Nathan is watching other moves being made, as in Edgar Martinez joining the staff. These moves are clearly being made over Jerry Dipoto's head. What makes a good manager? Scott Servais was put in an impossible position, in more than one way. Chris and Nathan continue the hour MollyWhop marathon to tell us what kind of team Dan Wilson is inheriting right now. Plus, how safe is Jerry's job right now? Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks gives his first reaction to the Seahawks trading cornerback Michael Jackson to the Panthers for linebacker Michael Barrett. The depth at linebacker is a good add, while the Seahawks had an embarrassment of riches in the defensive backfield, especially at corner. Chuck Powell joins Ian in studio, after having predicted the Servais firing if the Dodgers series went the way it did this week. Neither of the guys want anyone to lose a job, but this move just makes sense. How much blame should be put on Servais or Dipoto for the careers that came to Seattle to die? Chuck gives Jerry Dipoto a lot of credit for what he's done here - if you want him out, be careful what you wish for. An adequate offense should be enough for this team to be a perennial postseason contender. We begin the cavalcade of fans weighing in on the Mariners. Brandon Funston, The Athletic kicks off the unofficial start to the weekend. Today, we talk quarterbacks as you prepare for your fantasy draft. Listeners let loose on the firing of Scott Servais, and boy do we have a lot.
