Mariners Mojo

The Mariners took 2 of 3 from the Blue Jays, thanks in large part to Luis Torrens, Ty France, and the rest of the Mariners bats heating up. They still have a ways to go in the Wild Card race, as Chris and Alex talk about what needs to be done to get there, and if the team is capable of doing it.

Chris talks a bit about the Mariners' struggles against the Yankees, what to expect against Texas, and then has an interview with Mariners' 4th round pick, an RHP out of Texas A&M, Bryce Miller. He talks about his path through high school, the potential of being a two-way player, his time at Texas A&M, as well as his interesting relationship with a former and at the same time new teammate, Zach Deloach.

We discuss the Toro/Smith for Montero/Graveman trade, the Tyler Anderson trade, and the remainder of what we think that the Mariners might do in advance of the 2021 mlb trade deadline

Chris and Alex are joined by Jason Churchill, this time to talk about the 2021 MLB Draft for the Mariners. He talks with us about the top picks in the draft, some of his favorite picks, explains a bit about under and over-slotting (he's even confused still), and then we all make fun of the Angels.

Hector Santiago got shafted by the umps and the league. He is appealing his suspension (Chris heard wrong), and while he's doing so, the Mariners are playing really well. We talk Santiago, Kikuchi, Gilbert, JP, and some trivia too.

Mariners youngster Logan Gilbert outdueled Shane Bieber, as the Mariners beat Bieber for the second time in a row. We talk a lot about Fraley, Gilbert, who the next Mariners catcher call-up is going to be, Yusei Kikuchi pitching like a number one starter, and much more Mariners news from the last week or so.

WHY CANT WE HAVE NICE THINGS! Every time someone comes back for the Mariners, another guy makes a trip to the IL. At least we have not a doctor Jeremy Hirschkorn on to join us this time to talk a bit about Kyle Lewis and his meniscus injury, as well as Nick Margevicius and his Thoracic Outlet Diagnosis, and how to rehab and prevent them. Chris and Alex wrap up with a talk about what's actually going well for the team, and Alex tries to stump Chris in trivia. But, will he succeed?

Chris and Alex recorded Monday night during the middle of the Mariners game and were admittedly nervous the whole time. We didn't want to jinx the team, and they came through in the end. We talk about Scott Servais and wonder if he is actually a good manager, some minor leaguers, the disgusting offense (not in a good way), and much more in this week's episode.

Chris and Alex enjoy tasty beverages while talking about the debuts of Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert, checking in on the Everett Aquasox and the rest of the "friends of the podcast" to see how they have been doing so far on this season, all the while trying their best to not talk bad about the Mariners awful hitting.
