Are you starting to believe Lance can help the Astros this year?

HUGH MILLEN joins us to give us a deep dive into the Seahawks new running back, Emmanuel Wilson. How does Hugh feel about the moves the Seahawks did and didn't make during free agency? Hugh's thoughts on the Cal vs Randy handshake saga. :30- Do we need to take a serious look at whether or not Danny Sprinkle is the right guy for the job at UW as the team misses the NCAA tournament once again? :45- We close out the show and week with Booze News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whoah Mother Nature, what's with all the snow? The Seahawks added running back Emmanuel Wilson. Do we expect him to jump in and fill the Ken Walker hole or does Schneider have more moves up his sleeve? :30- Randy Arozarena is headed back to Peoria and it may be the perfect thing to finally put this Cal/Randy handshake sage to rest. The two of them can't face each other again and hopefully the Mariners can squash the whole thing with Randy there. Do we expect any similar handshake/hugs to occur if the USA faces the Dominican? They have to get through Canada first. :45- The Big 12 is making a change to their tournament court after showcasing an innovative LED glass court during their women's tournament and the beginning of the men's tournament, there was just one problem… well quite a few actually. The LED court was slippery, causing injuries and headaches for the players. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Episode 150 of Tablesetters, where we continue our division preview series by turning our attention to the American League West heading into the 2026 season. For nearly a decade, the AL West belonged to the Houston Astros. From 2017 through 2024, Houston captured seven full-season division titles and established one of the most sustained competitive runs in modern baseball. That streak finally paused in 2025. The Seattle Mariners broke through with a 90–72 season to capture the division, edging Houston by three games and advancing all the way to the American League Championship Series before falling in seven games. Now Seattle enters 2026 with momentum, elite pitching, and legitimate postseason expectations. But the division remains wide open. Houston still features an experienced core led by Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez, though questions remain about the starting rotation after the departure of Framber Valdez. Texas returns one of the most intriguing pitching staffs in the league behind Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi but must rebound offensively after finishing near the bottom of the league in several categories last year. Meanwhile, the Athletics appear to be emerging from their rebuild with a promising young lineup built around Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz and shortstop Jacob Wilson, while the Los Angeles Angels continue searching for stability after another difficult season. Several individual players could ultimately determine how the division unfolds. Dominic Canzone's breakout bat could help deepen Seattle's lineup behind Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. Houston will be watching closely to see whether new arrival Tatsuya Imai can stabilize the rotation. Texas may hinge on the health of Nathan Eovaldi alongside deGrom, while A's pitching outlook could depend heavily on the continued development of Jacob Lopez. For the Angels, the return of Grayson Rodriguez from injury carries significant implications for a rotation that struggled throughout 2025. With Seattle attempting to defend its title and multiple challengers trying to reclaim the division, the AL West once again looks like a race that could remain competitive deep into the season.

Brock & Salk break down why now all the media is predicting the Mariners to win the AL West in 2026, what changed their tune from years past when the Mariners did well? // Need to Know: We got to see our first game with Brendan Donovan in a Mariners uniform, and he had a couple hits. John Schneider told the media that the 2025 draft class is stronger than this year’s, which is why he was more aggressive in the last draft. The Kraken made some small moves after the All-Star Break / Olympics. // In our daily rewind, we take another listen into our interview with Mariners Catcher Cal Raleigh 

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.   GUESTS   Dave Grosby | Seattle sports radio personality Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Prediction Show Kickoff — Hockey Gold, Mariners Optimism, and a Cole Young Attitude Adjustment 22:22 | 2026 Prediction Show: Seahawks Repeat Forecasts, Roster Calls, and League-Wide Bold Picks 49:57 | 2026 Prediction Show: College Football and Mariners 2026 Predictions – Playoff Calls, Coaching Hot Seats, and a World Series Push 59:47 | 2026 Prediction Show: Mariners Prospect Timelines, World Cup Takes, NBA Futures, and Sonics Expansion Speculation 1:14:14 | 2026 Prediction Show: March Madness Picks, NFL Draft Forecasts, Golf Majors, Kraken Playoff Hopes, and Wild Card Bombshells 1:21:30 | Other Stuff Segment: USA wins men's and women's Olympic hockey gold, JSN comments on becoming highest-paid WR and looming Seahawks extensions, Zach Charbonnet ACL surgery delay raises questions, Stephen A.
