Nobody loves extra innings more than Mariners beat writer Ryan Divish. Join him and guests from around baseball to go to the 10th inning and beyond in Mariners news, discussion and more.
The Extra Innings: A Seattle Times baseball podcast is a must-listen for any baseball fan in the Seattle area. This podcast stands out from others in its genre by offering insightful analysis and stories without shilling for the home team. Divish, the host, brings a refreshing perspective to the table, not afraid to be critical when necessary. As a baseball fan, I appreciate his no-nonsense approach and his willingness to cover all angles of the game.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Divish's experience with interviewing baseball personalities. His recent interviews with Ichiro, Wakamatsu, Griffey, Gordon, and Seager have been particularly intriguing. These interviews provide unique insights into the minds of these players and offer fans a behind-the-scenes look at their careers. Divish's ability to get these high-profile guests on his show speaks volumes about his reputation as a journalist and his commitment to delivering quality content.
Moreover, The Extra Innings covers all aspects of the game in great detail. From game analysis to player profiles to team strategies, this podcast leaves no stone unturned. As an M's fan myself, I appreciate how they tackle even the most controversial topics with a mildly skeptical point of view. They don't shy away from discussing potential challenges or shortcomings faced by the team but also highlight their strengths. It's this balanced approach that keeps me coming back for more each week.
However, one downside of The Extra Innings is its occasional failure to stay on schedule. While I understand that sometimes episodes may need to run longer due to important discussions or breaking news, it would be beneficial if they could find a way to consistently stick to their intended time frames. Perhaps shorter episodes could be considered as an alternative solution so that fans can still hear Divish's take on the Mariners without feeling rushed or having limited time for other activities.
In conclusion, The Extra Innings: A Seattle Times baseball podcast is a high-quality, professional journalism podcast that provides a fundamental public good for baseball fans. Divish's expertise and interviewing skills shine through in each episode, making it a captivating listen for anyone interested in the sport. While there might be some room for improvement in terms of sticking to schedules, the overall content and analysis provided more than make up for it. I highly recommend this podcast to all Seattle Mariners fans and baseball enthusiasts alike.
