RUNDOWN Frustrated by another Mariners series loss, Mitch argues that Dan Wilson's quick hook of Emerson Hancock in Cleveland set off the bullpen dominoes that ultimately cost Seattle the game. He and Hotshot Scott debate whether the manager deserves the blame, discuss why the season isn't lost despite the club slipping under .500, and preview an episode packed with Mariners prospect talk, World Cup excitement, and another edition of Release Date trivia. The Mariners' ugly loss in Cleveland sparks a spirited debate over Dan Wilson's bullpen management, whether Emerson Hancock should have finished the sixth inning, and if Seattle is putting itself in impossible situations with its pitching decisions. Mitch, Brady, and Joe also dissect the confusing six-man rotation strategy, discuss whether Emerson Hancock belongs in the bullpen, evaluate internal reinforcements like Ryan Sloan and Patrick Wisdom, preview the upcoming Angels and Blue Jays series, and make their weekly "Out on a Limb" predictions. MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis joins Mitch to break down another loaded Mariners farm system, offering updates on Colt Emerson's development, Felin Celesten's breakout season, and why Seattle continues to boast one of baseball's deepest prospect pipelines. The conversation also dives into Kade Anderson's rapid rise, Ryan Sloan's ace potential, the upcoming MLB Draft, and how the Mariners could eventually use their prospect depth to chase a World Series. Mitch and Jason Puckett spend another episode doing what they do best—arguing over the Mariners, poking fun at each other's broadcasting habits, and turning small disagreements into entertaining debates. They also dive into Puck's upcoming trip to Spain, the Running of the Bulls, World Cup excitement, and the polarizing reaction to U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jim Callis | Senior Writer for MLB Pipeline Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions, the Mariners' latest collapse, World Cup fever arriving in Seattle, and another entertaining round of Release Date trivia headline the opening segment of Episode 388. 26:50 | Mariners No-Table: Dan Wilson's latest bullpen decisions, the Mariners' muddled pitching plans, growing calls for rotation changes, and another round of "Out on a Limb" predictions fuel this week's Mariners No Table discussion. 1:00:04 | Jim Callis: Callis explains why the Mariners' farm system remains among baseball's best, evaluates Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan's futures, and previews another pivotal MLB Draft for Seattle. 1:21:52 | Jason Puckett: Mitch and Jason Puckett trade playful jabs over the Mariners, preview Puck's Spain adventure, debate the Running of the Bulls, and discuss the golf world's complicated relationship with Wyndham Clark. 1:40:16 | Other Stuff: Justin Bieber at the NHL Draft, Mitch's Justin Bieber karaoke encounter, Phil Mickelson controversy, Buffalo Bills leaving O.J.

Seahawks One Series with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune/933 KJR) Devon Witherspoon is due for a big contract extension, so Gregg gives us the lowdown on that looming deal and expectations for the veteran DB. Why is he more than just interception numbers? What worry or concerns do the Seahawks have about his durability and what are his weaknesses? :30- Yes, the piggyback is still here and there are a lot of people who are still very angry about it, so it's time to implement some new rules for the new piggyback. - Bryce Miller should never be involved again. - How about a 24 or 48-hour window on the rider? - How about we establish a middle ground on communication? - If you're going to piggyback, you can stop over-protecting your bullpen! :45- What a state we are in! Dusty May left Michigan yesterday for the comfort of the NBA… he wasn't the first and he won't be the last person to leave college sports for something more comfortable at the professional level. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP) The Kraken added Mackie Samoskevich in a trade with the Panthers yesterday, so what are we getting in the young forward? The trade wasn't the only move made by the Kraken yesterday- they also signed Bobby McMann to a 6-year deal; what are the realistic expectations for McMann moving forward? Does Everett expect more moves to be made? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - M is for Minnesota- hey Byron Buxton, wanna come here and play? - N is for Naylor- the defense at 1st base looks sloppy… - O is for Odd- why is Cal Raleigh still struggling? :45- Boye Mafe left the Seahawks in free agency, while Derick Hall re-signed with the Hawks for much less. Did the Seahawks keep the right guy? Rob rang sure thinks so! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) How important is Dom Canzone to this team right now? Why can't this team hit lefties? Seriously! How much longer do you keep trying with this lineup? Cal isn't getting the results since coming off the IL, but is Ryon seeing a difference in approach since his return? :30- JASON BOTERILL (Seattle Kraken GM) INTERVIEW ATTACHED Was re-signing Bobby McMann their number one priority? What about the trade for Mackie Samoskevich? How does he see all these pieces coming together and are they looking to make any more moves? Could they be trading away any more draft picks ahead of Friday's draft? :45- We wrap up a busy Monday show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had a very busy Monday show and there was a lot to talk about! From a rough Mariners weekend to some big Kraken moves; we chatted with Dan Viens, Ryon Healy, Everett Fitzhugh and Kraken GM Jason Boterill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AARON LEVINE (Fox 13 Seattle) joins Chuck and Stretch down at Jimmy's. The guys are feeling the vibes of match day and talk about how big of a deal it is for Seattle to be hosting this massive event. It's team USA vs Australia and the city is showing off for all of our visitors. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - J is for Jose Cruz Jr- his son got called up by the Tigers yesterday… and now we feel old. - K is for K's- Cal struck out 4 times yesterday- are we concerned? - L is for Leverage- Dan Wilson has a problem with managing his bullpen… :45- The World Cup is back in town today and this one feels different from Monday with Team USA facing Australia at noon. What should we know about this Aussie team? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and ABC's of the Mariners - G is for Gamesmanship- those catchers sure are crafty! - H is for Hamstring- it was the hamstring spasm heard round the Mariners' world. - I is for Italia- we need to talk about Dom Canzone's increased role… :30- Seahawks One Series with TCU Defensive Coordinator, ANDY AVALOS. We chatted with Andy post-draft and figured there's no one better to give us the lowdown on Seahawks rookie Bud Clark, so we revisited the conversation. :45- Is it Draftsgiving? Draftuary? Drune? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Soccer is the World's sport, but it's not America's. Could a World Cup run help push America into the elite levels of the sport? :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners left Baltimore after being handed their second loss in a row. The road frustrations continue for Bryan Woo who had the worst inning of his career in the 3rd yesterday, giving up 5 hits and 6 runs. The Mariners offense tried to bail him out, coming back with 4 runs of their own in the 4th, but it wasn't enough. :45- The Seahawks offseason has come to an end, and the team go their Super Bowl rings yesterday. This team isn't relying on last year's success, 2026 is all about looking ahead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had a busy Wednesday show including visits from gregg Bell, Dick Fain and Brad Evans. Here are the best moments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just when we thought we'd seen the craziest Mariners win on Monday, Tuesday came along and said “hold my beer.” Last night was a game of inches and the Mariners came away on the winning end in extra innings and even with a depleted bullpen. :30- Mariners Morning After Randy Arozarena hit the game-winning home run in the 10th, but there were a lot of close plays a long the way that really tell the tale of this game. :45- Robert Turbin joined the show for the Seahawks One Series yesterday and we got his thoughts on what this team will miss the most by not having Zach Charbonnet on the field for the first half of the season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DICK FAIN joins us for the Seahawks One Series as we discuss what we expect from Tory Horton in 2026. We saw flashes, but we didn't get to see a lot from Horton in 2025 due to injury. How will he fit into the offense this season and what's the ceiling for the young wide receiver? :30- It's time for the baseball Brunch starring Mitch Garver and the travel woes of Nick Davila. What did we learn today kids? New Garv is better than Old Garv, defense can help you win and technology can be our friend! :45- Game 4 of the NBA Finals is tonight in New York. Will we see the Knicks rise to the occasion and win a game at home, or will the Spurs even the series before they head back to San Antonio? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and the Pen is mightier WITH the sword. There are so many rules in place for this Mariners pitching staff. From piggybacking, to the 6-man rotation, the starters get their own set of rules, so how do those matchup with the extensive set of rules in place for the bullpen and why is it so hard to find 27 outs day in and day out? Something's got to give if we want Dan Wilson to be able to navigate the whole thing. :30- Yesterday we talked to Jacson Bevens on the One Series and got into the Rams addition of Myles Garrett and possibly Aaron Donald. How confident does Jacson feel about this O-Line's ability to hold up against this improved Rams defense? :45- ABC's of the Mariners - M is for Munoz- maybe he doesn't need to be locked into the closer role. - N is for Nana- apparently Emerson Hancock has a little Nana in him… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) It's all about “The Challenge”- thank you ABS System and thank you Jhonny Pereda! How does Healy feel about Dan Wilson's bullpen usage and all of the rules this team seems to have to abide by? Emerson got into it with Pereda on the mound… We are suddenly down two more infielders… what happens when Brendan Donovan comes back? :30- We asked for your help and YOU delivered! Sup with you? How do you want us to cover the World Cup? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the Seahawks One Series to "The Challenge," we grabbed the best moments of Tuesday's show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who is to blame for the Mariners walk-off loss to the tigers on Sunday? There was some questionable bullpen usage, including putting Criswell in when Bazardo was ready AND not utilizing Munoz enough, so that he had to come in after not pitching for 5 days. What more do they need? The numbers have to show Muni doesn't do well with a lot of days off between outings and Andres himself has said he needs to pitch more! What about not only using him in save situations? What about not only using him as a closer? :30- Mariners Morning After This wasn't just on the bullpen, but they did play a big part in it. The M's went up 4-0 and then things got sloppy. :45- What does Chuck think about Russell Wilson's retirement? Is he Hall of Fame worthy? Will there be a time where he will be welcomed back and celebrated here in town? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and What's Up with Muni? By his own admission, Andres Munoz needs to pitch more and the numbers back that up… he doesn't do well when he has had too much rest, so WHY do we continue to only put him in in save situations?? Chuck has the numbers… :30- The NBA Finals return to New York tonight as the Knicks look to go up 3-0 on the Spurs. Have the Knicks solved the Wemby issue or can the Spurs get right tonight? :45- The Mariners are in Baltimore for 4 games starting tonight and this isn't the same struggling Orioles team. They've had a rough start to their season, but the O's are hitting now and averaging 6 runs per game; so who will prevail? Their offense or our pitching staff? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seahawks One Series with JACSON BEVENS (Cigar Thoughts) Today it's all about Grey Zabel. What we saw from Zabel last season was very impressive, what is the ceiling for the 2nd year lineman? This is the first offseason in a long time that we aren't spending the offseason complaining about out O-Line, but what's the health of this group and do they still need help? He's got it… so what does “it” mean? We wrap up with some cigar thoughts… :30- Baseball Brunch starring Luis Castillo and Dan Wilson. There was one bright spot in yesterday's loss- Luis Castillo seems to be back. Then there were some negatives- sloppy play and a questionable bullpen… :45- The get-in price for tonight's NBA Finals game 3 in New York is ridiculous!

The Rams just traded for Myles Garrett. We break down the blockbuster deal and what it means for LA's Super Bowl window. The NBA Finals are here. We break down Spurs vs. Knicks, whether we're witnessing the birth of a new dynasty, and we're making our pick: San Antonio in 6, Wemby wins Finals MVP. Then we head to the AL West, where the Mariners have taken first place on a six-game winning streak without Cal Raleigh while a piggyback rotation experiment has Luis Castillo confronting Dan Wilson mid-game. We also get into Justin Herbert skipping two weeks of Chargers OTAs to fly to Europe for Madison Beer's concert tour. Harbaugh said he offered Herbert a ride to the airport. We're asking whether that's the right call or a red flag for a franchise still searching for its first deep playoff run. Finally, we discuss Chet Holmgren's brutal series against the Spurs, the Chet vs. Wemby debate, and what his future looks like in OKC.

Brady is back on a Tuesday, talking about the Mariners winning their seventh straight game on Monday night. He talks about the heroics of the 3-2 win against the Mets, including the growth of Emerson Hancock on the mound. He also wonders if the Mariners are too home run dependent as an offense and talks about the newfound luxury for manager Dan Wilson.

We had a very busy Tuesday show! Here are some of the best segments, including visits from Hugh Millen, Rob Staton, Ryon Healy and Chris Daniels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) Ryon has been on the call during a good chunk of this Mariners win-streak- what's changed for this team? How impressive is Cole Young? Is it time for the Mariners to lock him up long-term? From the piggyback to the 6-man rotation… Dan Wilson seems to be improving… How important is it for this team to have Cal back in the dugout, even if he isn't playing? Is Josh Naylor's back spasm something we should be concerned about? :30- CHRIS DANIELS (KOMO News) Yesterday we had some big news about Melinda French Gates joining One Roof Foundation; so what does it mean? Now that this group seems to be in place, what's next? :45- We close out this busy show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for our Seahawks One Series with ROB STATON (BBC Sheffield) We break the rules just a bit and get Rob's thoughts on the Rams adding Myles Garrett and whether or not he thinks the Seahawks will make a move to counter. There were rumors that DeMarcus Lawrence was going to retire in the offseason; how big of a blow would that have been to this Seahawks defense? Is there any concern that Lawrence is close to hitting a wall? Would this team have had the success they did without DeMarcus Lawrence? :30- It's time for the Baseball Brunch starring Cole Young and featuring Dan Wilson. So, what did we learn? This is how the Mariners win- good to great starting pitching, good to great relief pitching and enough runs to get the job done and Cole Young is really good! :45- The Rams trading for Myles Garrett has everyone talking… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and HUGH MILLEN With the news of the blockbuster trade yesterday, we reached out to our QB1 to get his thoughts on the Rams adding Myles Garrett to their defense and how that will impact the Seahawks. How much has the Rams defense improved with this one move? Is Charles Cross good enough to protect Sam Darnold from Garrett and how do the Hawks game plan against him? Does Hugh expect the Seahawks to counter and how? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - D is for Dan- Dan Wilson has been making progress - E is for Ewing- we saw AJ Ewing last night, and despite his highlight plays, Cole Young's was still more impressive. - F is for Fail- not only did the ump fail on that Cole Young play, but so did Mariners TV… why can't we get updated injury info in-game? :45- It's Trade Season and apparently everyone wants in! We could have a scenario where Myles Garrett, Tarik Skubal and Giannis could all be traded in June! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to kickoff our Seahawks One Series and CORBIN SMITH joins the show to get us going. We dive into the season Byron Murphy II had last year and what Corbin expects from him this year. Where does Murphy have the most room to improve and how much more can we expect from the pass rusher? How important will it be for the Seahawks to lock him up for the future? Does he have any weaknesses? How would Corbin describe Murphy and Leonard Williams play off of one another? :30- It's time for the Baseball Brunch, starring Dom Canzone and Cal Raleigh! We recap yesterday's Mariners' win and sweep of the D backs and discover what we learned about our baseball team. :45- It's a special edition of Gone Fishin'… the Thunder lose edition!

We had a lot to talk about on Monday! Here are some of the best moments, including kicking off our Seahawks one series with Corbin Smith and a visit from Spencer Hawes!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mariners got another sweep and we hate to say it, but the piggyback worked again… There are still people who are hating on the piggyback, but why? It worked. The M's gave up only 2 runs and got the win in extra innings without using their bullpen, so what's to hate? Don't worry haters, there's hope on the horizon as the team will go to a 6-man rotation for the next two rotations. :30- Mariners Morning After Victor Robles walked it off for the M's in the 10th, his first career walk-off. The Mariners are now 2 games above .500 for the first time this season and sit 2.5 games ahead of the A's in the AL West after their 2nd sweep in a row. :45- Could today be the day AJ Brown gets traded to New England? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lyle and TJ react to the Mariners sweeping the A's in dominant fashion (2:30). They then discuss the new CBA proposals on each side and which ones they liked better (14:40). The two of them open up the mailbag and answer listener questions, highlighting what Randy Arozarena's next contract would look like, which Mariners starter would be best in the bullpen, a complication moving on from Dan Wilson, and more (25:31).Get your Washington Accident Books today from Davis Law Group: https://dlgseattle.com/baseballFor ad-free episodes, check out our Patreon: patreon.com/marinelayerpodMerchandise, event schedule, and more: marinelayerpod.comEmail us: marinelayerpod@gmail.comCheck out Just Baseball: Click hereFollow the show on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@marinelayerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on YouTube: Click hereFind us on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@marinelayerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on all Podcast Platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/MarineLayerPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow TJ on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tjmathewson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Lyle on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lyle_goldsteinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The M's get the sweep in Sacramento! We wake up this morning with a first place team… just how we drew it up. There are positives in these first 57 games; the Mariners have played some bad baseball and even with that, we have clawed our way to 1st in the (bad division) before June. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners cruised to a 9-1 win over the A's yesterday as the M's bats proved they could hit lefties two days in a row, perhaps it will give this team the boost of confidence they need. Next up the Diamondbacks come into town tomorrow and they've been red-hot. Can the Mariners cool them down? :45- The Seahawks made a trade yesterday that flew under the radar for the most part, but it did make one thing very clear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CHRISTIAN CAPLE (Say Who, Say Pod) With the Apple Cup moving to a Sunday, what does Christian think about the move and the rivalry as it currently stands. Will it continue? What about the current state of college football? Is it sustainable? What changes does he expect? How healthy is Washington Football at this point in the Jedd Fisch era? Are expectations of a 9-win season realistic? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - U is for Unprecedented- yes, the piggyback is an unprecedented move… - V is for Velo- why does everyone seem so surprised by Bryce Miller's velocity? - W is for waiting- Chuck has been waiting to start in on trade talk, but it's almost June… :45- We wrap up this Thursday show with one last thing!

We caught up with Gregg Bell and Christian Caple to talk Seahawks and Apple Cup, plus had a lot of discussion about the Mariners and their sweep of the A's. Check out the best of Thursday's show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, the gang dips into the mailbag regarding questions on prospects Michael Arroyo and Kade Anderson, the future of Randy Arozarena and J.P. Crawford, and talk what makes a good loser team.

Brady is back on a rare Wednesday for his latest conversation with ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney. Buster saw the Mariners on Sunday in a loss to the Kansas City Royals and has a question about Dan Wilson's bullpen management before diving into the continued issues surrounding the team's "piggyback" strategy. Could it impact how Bryce Miller feels about the organization down the road? And what does he think about the M's as they've won two straight games against the A's?

RUNDOWN   Broadcasting from London while trying—and failing—to escape Mariners frustration, Mitch and Hotshot Scott bounce between Seattle baseball misery, European travel mishaps, London culture shock, soccer ticket disasters, and Mitch's realization that even crossing the street becomes dangerous when everything operates backward. They also hit Churchill history, Wembley dreams gone sideways, tourist adventures, and the strange reality that no amount of distance from Seattle seems capable of keeping Mariners disappointment from finding Mitch overseas. With Mitch away, Brady and Joe take an unfiltered look at a Mariners team that suddenly feels flat, frustrating, and increasingly difficult for fans to embrace. They dig into defensive problems, strikeouts, inconsistent offense, lineup decisions, clubhouse energy, and whether Seattle's identity has become too predictable and too dependent on home runs. Mitch and Puck wrestle with one of the biggest frustrations surrounding the Mariners right now: when questionable decisions happen during games, who actually owns them? The conversation centers on Dan Wilson, Jerry Dipoto, analytics influence, bullpen management, lineup choices, and whether modern baseball has created too many voices in the room. They also hit on Bryce Miller's interrupted no-hit bid, the controversial piggyback pitching approach, and the growing feeling that Seattle's biggest problem might not be talent. Mitch and Danny dive into growing frustration around the Mariners' decision-making, debating whether Dan Wilson is truly managing instinctively or operating under organizational marching orders from above. The conversation turns into a bigger argument about modern baseball philosophy, bullpen usage, lineup management, and whether Seattle is overthinking itself out of wins.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren'ts / Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Host, The Dang Apostrophe   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Flees the Country, Mariners Follow Him Anyway 20:59 | Mariners No-Table: Are the Mariners Becoming Unlikable?
