The Chaos Ball Podcast

What players are on the Mariners books heading into a crucial off-season? For the first time in a while, they have a lot of arbitration decisions to think about as they gear up for next season. Who and who isn't non-tendered will tell us a lot about their strategy for the off-season. I recorded this podcast on my couch while watching Game 2 of the World Series, so there are some live reactions mixed into an otherwise low key discussion of the Mariners contract situations. Thanks for listening! I'll be back soon with a Farm System episode.

I wrap up the double episode, three hour podcast week on a good note, talking about the 2024 Mariners pitching staff. There is much more good than bad in this episode, and a full hour of it is praising everything that the starting rotation accomplished this season. I talk about the rotation and the bullpen, and touch on the arbitration situations the team faces heading into the off-season, and what the pen may look like next season. Thanks for listening!

I'm back and ready to evaluate the Seattle Mariners lineup contributors from this season, who was good, who was bad, who was just mediocre, and why did they fall short? I take a look at the offense as a whole and then focus on the individuals, with some very brief looking ahead to next season. Thanks for tuning in, the pitcher review is coming later this week!

I say farewell to the 2024 Mariners, and take a look back at the last decade of M's baseball and the pain it's provided to us fans. I touch on the recent Dipoto comments on the off-season, and the Jude article going over what we should expect in terms of $$ spent by the team to prepare for the 2025 season. I salute the Oakland A's at the end and yell at billionaires to end this episode. Thanks for listening all season!

The Mariners are hanging around and gearing up to dish out maximum pain on the fanbase once again. This episode I check in with the offense that's been quite good for a month now, but is it too little too late? I also talk about Julio and Robles' TOOTBLANs against the Yankees this week. Thanks for tuning in!

Let's check in on some of our pals! This is a very short and sweet episode, and I decided to take the focus off of the current Mariners for a moment, and check in on some former 2023 M's. I take a look at a couple of Snakes, a Dodger, and a Brave and see how they're all doing with their new teams. No, I didn't discuss Jerry being around in 2025 in this episode but I will at a later date, don't worry. Thanks for listening!

Just some classic banter about the Seattle Honkbal team. I take a look at some eye opening stats that tell us how good this Mariners team could be, but why they simply aren't great. I give some pitchers their flowers this episode as well, because as bleak as thing can look, we deserve to celebrate the best players on the squad, Thanks for tuning in!

Well well well, we find ourselves with another podcast episode where I critique trades that Jerry Dipoto has made. The majority of this episode is talking about the deadline moves and where they put the team at right now. I grade each trade and then talk about the broader MLB landscape and what it meant for the 2024 deadline. Thanks for listening!

This episode was recorded+edited hours before the Randy Arozarena trade broke, so the Randy talk will have to wait until next week. But in this episode, I throw out a fun comparison for who the 2024 Mariners remind me of and what the next couple months could hold. I run through the various absences in the current lineup and the state of the team as we head into the biggest week in the Jerry Dipoto era. Thanks for listening, tune in next week for the trade deadline recap!
