The Seattle Mariners are in sole possession of first place in the American League West division. Half of this episode is dedicated to how the Mariners gained this much ground, and how astonishing it is that they sit in 1st place at the end of August. Julio is at the center of it all, but when the entire 'championship core' is performing like this, the sky is the limit. In the latter half of the episode, I talk a little bit about how two Mariners 1st round picks are performing in the low minors, and how a gigantic 18 year old is wreaking havoc in Modesto. I end the show with some Shohei and Strasburg :( talk, and highlight the next week of M's ball. You are legally obligated to give this show a rating and/or review, and I will send Rob Manfred after you if you don't.
