Episode 85: The Seattle Mariners kick off a huge week with two series against two of the top teams in the American League right now in the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. In this week's episode, Max and Sobba discuss the M's recent turn around including J-Rod's hot bat, Geno saving the day over the weekend and a stellar stretch of pitching from both the bullpen and starting rotation. Sobba also gets compared to a current player in the M's lineup while Max has an interesting encounter at T-Mobile Park.

(PS: Due to some scheduling conflicts we had to release this episode after the first game against the Yankees on Monday this week)

Episode 84: Regardless if you're a fan or not of the moves Jerry Dipoto has made for the Mariners during his tenure with the franchise, you have to give him props for always giving back to the fans. In this week's episode, Sobba gets rewarded by Jerry with the ultimate tickets for the Mariners road series against the Atlanta Braves. Sobba shares his epic experience at Truist Park which includes meeting George Kirby's parents and a front row seat next to the M's dougout. Max and Sobba also preview a big homestand against the Pirates and Athletics this week

Episode 83: Max returns from a much needed vacation in Mexico to join Sobba this week as the Mariners look to build on some momentum against the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves.

Plus we continue to ride the Bryce Miller train as the rookie continues to dominate on the mound. Max also shares a once and a lifetime experience with dolphins during his trip.

Episode 82: Just like the Seattle Mariners, it's been chaotic for Monday Mojo due to some scheduling conflicts but we still got you covered this week. Zweifel and Sobba take over the hosting duties and highlight a crazy stretch of baseball for the Mariners which includes three comeback victories, a dominate performance from the starting pitching while the hitting woes continue. Should the Mariners shake up the lineup? Monday Mojo answers that question along with giving major kudos to the highly touted Bryce Miller who already looks like a staple in the M's starting rotation.

Episode 81: The 2023 Mariners are still battling some growing pains after losing Robbie Ray for the season, a continued lack of production from the DH slot, and bullpen woes. However, the M's have a chance to get back on track this week with an upcoming 3 game series against the cellar dweller Oakland Athletics and a home series with the Houston Astros. In this episode, Max and Zweifel vent out their frustrations with the team's 12-16 start while Sobba reels it back with his weekly optimism on why Mariners fans shouldn't panic just yet.

Episode 80: The Seattle Mariners are still working to find their identity this season after a 10-12 start. While the team is starting to show flashes of greatness with Teoscar Hernández and Jarred Kelenic each hitting a pair of bombs over the weekend against the Cardinals, the Mariners are struggling in the DH spot. In this week's episode Sobba, Zweifel and Evan discuss how the team can fix the DH slot, Kolten Wong's continued struggles, and why J.P. Crawford is due for a big week against the Phillies in the city of Brotherly Love.

Episode 79: The Mariners enter this week riding a 4-game winning streak thanks to Jarred Kelenic who's the hottest player in the MLB right now. Monday Mojo salutes the Waukesha, WI native in this episode as we dive into his 4-straight home run stretch, a game saving diving catch and more. Plus La Piedra's dominance on the mound, Kolten Wong's slow start to the season and Jesse Winker's return to T-Mobile Park this week. The boys also toast to Sobba's next adventure in Charleston, SC.

Episode 78: The 2023 Seattle Mariners are starting to look like the team many fans have been waiting for. The M's take 2/3 and earn their first series win of 2023 over the weekend in Cleveland. In this week's episode, Max, Sobba and Evan break down what's been clicking for Jarred Kelenic, what's going on with Kolten Wong, Teoscar Hernández pimping missiles and preview the Cubs and Rockies upcoming series.

Episode 77: The Mariners kick off the 2023 season with a disappointing 1-3 home series loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Despite the slow start, Monday Mojo did take away some positives from the first series which includes Luis Castillo's brilliant Opening Day outing, the top of the M's lineup delivering and the strong support from Mariners fans at the Electric Factory. Max and Chris also preview the next series against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels.

Episode 76: As the great Bruce Buffer would say, "It'ssss Time!!!" Mariners regular season baseball returns with some high expectations in 2023.
