    Hello Seattle Mariners fans! This week the gang Mikey, Evan and Anders are back to answer listener questions on the big new rule changes and how they might affect the Mariners. First off the gang digs deep into the Mariners two young, star pitchers: George Kirby and Logan Gilbert. Both have had encouraging starts as of late, but they are trending very differently despite similar effective results. What do we make of it all and whom do we believe in? We have the answers. Next the gang looks at the new ruleset that might be going into practice which includes the pitch clock, some moderate restrictions on the shift, bigger bases and the minor league players union being newly represented by the MLBPA. How will all of this work out? That remains to be seen, but the gang has some unique insights on how this might affect the Mariners and the league at large. Lastly the gang look at Julio's declining stolen bases and Mitch Haniger's late season swoon.

    Hello Seattle Mariners fans! This week the gang Mikey and Anders are joined by MLB writer and special guest Pat Ellington Jr. Pat provides his unique perspective on writing about baseball and the proud history of black ballplayers in Cleveland. Anders notes that the Guardians have the youngest roster in the league, even younger than the Mariners and Pat detail on some of their young prospects on the rise. Pat brings a fresh position on what it looks like the Mariners are building from the outside and how impressive the pitching development is in particular. Mikey is surprised to learn that the Guardians have merely 2 players over age 30, giving Cleveland tremendous upside for the future. Anders recounts meeting Steven Kwan and admires his humility on and off the field. Mikey and Pat discuss some of the challenges of navigating the racial barriers getting to and staying in the major leagues.

Trader Jerry worked the hot stove to the bone to deliver the Mariners 3 new pieces on the final day: a backup catcher in Curt Casali, a bench righty bat in Jake Lamb and a potential relief weapon in Matt Boyd. Mikey sees potential in Boyd out of the pen while Evan worries about Jarred 3.0, but everyone agrees getting Curt Casali was a needed move. In answering fan questions, the gang is excited for the future, while wondering if what the mariners have done will be enough to deliver them playoff victory. Get well soon Ders!
