Our Seattle sports guy Mario Lanza (creator of the Funny 115, Survivor: Historian Podcast and Staff Picks Movie Podcast) returns to the Jack Vita Show to lament the end of the 2025 Seattle Mariners season, as the Mariners were eliminated from playoff contention last Monday night. Where did the M's go wrong, and what needs should they address this winter? Along the way, Mario and Jack preview the World Series and chat about trends from this year's postseason. Are teams bunting too much? Why is bunting such a struggle for so many players this time of year? Mario and Jack also discuss the lost art of contact hitting, and why players like Josh Naylor have become so valuable. What did Jack think of the Milwaukee Brewers raising an "L" flag, mocking the Chicago Cubs, after eliminating the Cubbies from the playoffs? Mario and Jack talk about why rivalries are great for the sport. All this, and so much more, only on the Jack Vita Show!
