To Love a Mariner

The Seattle Mariners are leading the AL West! Eric and Jamie discuss their recent surge, then zone in on the newly acquired Josh Rojas - tracing his journey from tee-ball brat to Rainbow Warrior to bonafide big leaguer.

The Seattle Mariners had a quiet yet controversial trade deadline. Jamie and Eric discuss the departure of Paul Sewald, the return package from the Diamondbacks, plus peripheral moves and transactions from around the division and wild card race.

The Seattle Mariners have played very well in July, and enter the trade deadline in an interesting situation. Eric and Jamie take a deep look at the career of last year's deadline prize: La Piedra, aka starting right-handed ace Luis Castillo.

The Seattle Mariners have lost three consecutive series, most recently to the last-place Nationals in what feels like a low point on the season. Jamie and Eric discuss the disappointing first half with musician Brock Pytel (Doughboys, SLIP~ons).

The Seattle Mariners salvaged a series in the Bronx with an offensive eruption, but continue to hover around .500. Mike Ford is a big leaguer, at least for the moment, and Eric seizes the opportunity to tell the lefty power hitter's life story.

The Seattle Mariners have a 29-27 record entering June. Trends have emerged, both positive and negative! Jamie and Eric nevertheless dedicate most of the episode to the AA Arkansas Travelers, enlisting the help of Sofie Dill (aka @sofieballgame on Twitter).

The Seattle Mariners can't seem to get past .500 - not unlike their High-A affiliate, the Everett Aquasox! Eric and Jamie recently caught the 'Sox at Nat Bailey, and decided to dedicate an episode to that team.

The Seattle Mariners recently salvaged a series in Toronto. Jamie and Eric briefly discuss the road trip, then launch into a deep dive on 12-and-under World Series hero and M's bullpen newcomer Trevor Gott.

The Seattle Mariners are 5-8 and fans MAY be overreacting. Eric and Jamie discuss the early results, then catch up with singer-songwriter and baseball enthusiast Craig Salt Peters.

The Seattle Mariners will face the AL West 52 times this regular season. While that is down from 76, it's still worth discussing! Jamie and Eric take a look around the division, then do a quick vibe check on the home team.
