Chris Crawford is in for Ian and we have a lot to digest about the Mariners right now. What can we expect from a consistency perspective based on what we've seen from the lineup, and more recently, the pitching? Should Donovan Solano be more involved? We listen back to Kevin Seitzer's interview with Chuck and Buck this morning and learn more about the team's belief in the new lineup. Chris and Anders react to what Seitzer had to say about the new additions in Naylor and Geno. Chris has a lot more confidence in the lineup facing opposition pitching right now and he tells you why. Chris throws it out the question: when players have health issues, when is it ok to boo? Coach Mike Holmgren joins Chris to give us some insight on what we can ascertain from the preseason. He also weighs in on the reinstitution of the fullback here in Seattle. How important is the time of possession in a game? Coach dives into the mentality of the offensive line and what makes them physically capable of doing the job. Coach says he'd give Jalen Milroe some significant time in the rest of the preseason, and likes him a lot. Checking in on the Text Line!
