Refuse to Lose - a Seattle Mariners Podcast

We are back after taking a week off to digest the end of the Mariners season!

We talk about the M's finishing up at 85-77 on the year and winning five of their last six games, but also about the missed opportunity the team had this season.

Furthermore, we discuss the comments by Jerry Dipoto and John Stanton at the end of the season and Brady reveals his new mantra for the M's offseason.

Plus, we take a look at some early questions for the offseason ahead.

Brady is back on a Friday discussing the Mariners being eliminated from the playoffs yet again. He discusses why this year was such a big missed opportunity for the M's and what the alternative facing them is.

Furthermore, he discusses how much blame ownership gets for all of this and who else deserves part of the blame pie.

Furthermore, sports radio host Mike Salk has angered fans with his recent comments, so we examine them and where they missed the mark.

Finally, Aaron Levine of FOX 13 joins the show to talk about his outspoken criticism of the organization and Victor Robles got some love from the MLB Network. Plus, the Arkansas Travelers won the title in the Texas League.

The Mariners have defeated the Houston Astros on Monday night in my favorite win of the season. We discuss what made it so special and the M's still-alive playoff chances.

Then, Cal Raleigh's dad, Todd Raleigh, joins the show to discuss Cal's season, his upbringing, his growth and so much more.

An in-depth conversation that you won't want to miss! Also, shoutout to the Arkansas Travelers, Laz Montes and Bryce Miller. 

We are back on a Friday, and I have to apologize for not being here on Tuesday. I lost my voice after a day of tailgating at the Seahawks-Patriots game and I share the stories from Foxboro.

Then, the M's are 78-75 and 2.0 games back of the wild card. We discuss the final nine games of the season, what we want to see and why this year has been so frustrating.

The Mariners also forgot how to run the bases over the last week. We discuss the TOOTBLANs against the Yankees and decide if Dan Wilson should take some blame for not having his guys prepared. And how much are people mad at Julio Rodriguez for it all?

Finally, congratulations are in order for a bunch of M's who made history this week. And hey, that Ohtani guy that the M's ignored in free agency is pretty good.

We apologize for publishing a few hours later than usual, but we had good reason as we get two great guests on the show!

We talk about last night's 5-4 loss to the Texas Rangers and why the M's season is over once again. Then, we talk about whether or not that was a season-defining loss for the M's or not.

Then, we're joined by Joe Doyle of OverSlot, who talks about the M's financial woes, potential off-season trade partners, and the best ways to build a baseball team. And we talk with Kevin Kugler of FS1, who called the game on Wednesday as Bryan Woo took a perfect game into the seventh inning.

It's Tuesday, and the Mariners are getting back into the playoff race. They are 4.5 games back of the Astros in the AL West and 3.0 back of the Twins in the wild card race.

Are we starting to believe again? Then, we talk about why the M's need to try to get Edgar Martinez back as hitting coach in 2025, and then we look at the team bringing back Jerry Dipoto.

Our own Teren Kowatsch from the Mariners on SI team spent Sunday in Everett with Colt Emerson, Laz Montes and Michael Arroyo. He calls in with his takeaways.

Here's the skinny: The Seattle Mariners took the final two games in Oakland to move to 71-70 on the year. They are now just 4.5 games back in the American League West and are trying to give us all a sliver of hope.

We spent a good portion of this episode talking about why Jerry Dipoto shouldn't be back in 2025, and then the Mariners apparently decided to bring him back.

We're releasing the episode anyways, because it was awesome. We had on Adnan Virk of the MLB Network and Tom Caron of NESN, who have unique perspectives on what the Mariners are going through.

We also react to Ryan Divish's appearance on the Jason Puckett podcast.

Brady declares the season over after a tough weekend against the Los Angeles Angels, but he says you should still watch the games and listen to the podcast.

He outlines things he's curious about the rest of the way and we sit down for a long chat with @MarinerMuse about the team now - and what's coming next.

The Mariners play the A's tonight, so we decided to release a little holiday episode today. Our next episode will be Friday as usual. 

We are back on a Tuesday after the Mariners went 4-2 over the most recent homestand. We talk about the style of play under Dan Wilson and why you have no choice but to be encouraged by it.

Then, Brady has been a defender of Jerry Dipoto but how did he feel after reading the Danny O'Neil story in the Tacoma News Tribune? Furthermore, Brady still doesn't think it's Dipoto's fault that Scott Servais found out he was being fired online.

Then, Danny O'Neil joins us to talk about his article, his thoughts on Jerry and more. And we react to the terrifying Ryan Divish comments on the "Marine Layer" podcast.

The Mariners have won three of four in the Dan Wilson-era! What are we noticing in terms of style of play and does this team have a higher entertainment value the last few days?

Also, now-former M's hitting coach Brant Brown had some interesting comments on a podcast recently about Julio Rodriguez's approach. What exactly did he say and what does Julio need to work on moving forward?

Furthermore, we have a new goal for this team before September 1? What is it?

AND... on Wednesday after the M's-Rays game, we're going LIVE with a podcast on YouTube. Find the link on Brady's "X" account @wdevradiobrady.
