Roughly a Podcast

Brandon is solo again to recap a bounce-back series against Houston, boldly predict Logan Gilbert will toss a perfecto one day, and exalt over the Kyle Lewis sample we got last week. Plus a peak at how the M's top-10 prospects are faring in 2022. 

Phil and Brandon reflect on a hellacious series against Boston, welcome back Kyle Lewis while acknowledging the strangeness of his injury situation, lament about this bullpen, and provide reasons for hope that things will click.

In a truly rough podcast audio-wise, Brandon and Phil run through a fun series in NYM and then a less cool one in Toronto. The fellas look at Jesse Winker's resurgence, Julio Rodriguez's continued stellar play, and defend the honor of Abraham Toro.

• Mike Ford's travel tips

Phil and Brandon wrap up a terrible two-week stretch of Mariners baseball, make sense of the bizarre Matt Brash situation and Jarred Kelenic's woes, revel in George Kirby's terrific debut, and take a peek at some young tykes in the farm system. 

Notes:

• Stathead Baseball
• Edwin Arroyo
• The insanely handsome Victor Labrada

Brandon puts the team on his back to break down the last week of Mariners baseball. Topics include the nonsensical series in Florida, Matt Brash making it harder on himself earlier in counts, and Jesse Winker's lack of power. Show ends with a breakdown of the Mariners' two baby boys whose bats are trending in opposite directions: Jarred Kelenic and Julio Rodriguez. 

Notes:

• loanDepot ratings
• The Pablo Lopez trade from 2017
• @alexmayer34's tweet about Julio's speed/power 

Phil and Brandon achieve the rare sub-60-minute podcast to debate Logan Gilbert's hotness, reflect on the delicious last week of Mariner baseball, celebrate the Ty France glowup, and look ahead to what could be a tough month.
