Does the ballpark hold back the Mariners offense? We ask Seattle Times beat writer Ryan Divish about the bottom-feeding start for the bats. The M's offense currently leads baseball in strikeouts.

The convo includes shiny pitching talk, a clear-cut trade deadline need and an update on the slow power start for Julio Rodriguez.

Hosts: Trevor May, AJ Pierzynski, Scott Braun
