Podcasts about dipoto

The podcast is off the IL and it couldn't have picked a better time in the Mariners season to come back. Everything is going great. I take some time in this episode to be angry about bagged Dippin Dots, gush about Cal Raleigh, and then discuss the Mariners organization as a whole and how Dipoto has run out of excuses at this point. Thanks for listening!Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

Digging back into Greg Amsinger's comments that we led the show with. Is there something to Dan Wilson not being tied to Dipoto in the player's eyes the way Servais was? Then, Brock and Salk discuss their favorite moments from Cooper Kupp's press conference yesterday and Salk decides who found the worst commentary of the week in Trash Takes.

Jayson Stark of The Athletic joins Dave Softy Mahler to talk about the Mariners lack of moves this off-season and the urgency to finally get to a World Series, if the issues with the team are more with Ownership or Dipoto, Jorge Polanco's return, and the AL West.

Mariners GM Justin Hollander spoke on this station yesterday, what did we learn from his conversations on the Mariners upcoming season and offseason moves? Why did the Mariners not make more trades to bolster the offense? What determines what players the front office goes after? // Headline Rewrites: The Maimi Heat have traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warrior for Andrew Wiggins, The Jacksonville Jaguars have named a 29 year old Grandt Udinski as their new OC. //  Jon Morosi explained what he thought about Jerry Dipoto’s comments about the offseason moves and the team’s production last season. Morosi can understand why Dipoto’s comments could be a slap in the face to the fans that want this organization to spend more to win. // We have two teams in two sports that are running their leagues. The Chiefs are looking for a 3-peat in the Super Bowl. The Dodgers have been the spending powerhouse of the MLB, are these two teams bad for their sports? 

Salk looks at the Jerry Dipoto comments from a different perspective, explaining why Dipoto is taking a gamble with this coaching staff and keeping most of the same roster from 2024. Then, they re-air their conversation with Andy McKay where he dives in on some of the Mariners exciting prospects.

Jerry Dipoto made a lot of Mariners fans angry earlier in the week by defending a lack of activity this offseason, but is he really just covering for ownership? - There have been several instances of Jerry and Justin commenting on the team and the moves or lack thereof that certainly seem like they're covering for the owners. - How much of what they're saying is what they actually believe? Is that why Jerry's job is secure? :30- Al Kinisky (Kraken color analyst) joins us following the Kraken shootout loss. - Kaapo Kakko's contributions - The younger players are stepping up - Are we bad at shootouts? :45- We close out this snowy Wednesday with one last thing!

Chuck and Anders break down the Jorge Polanco (re) signing, and of course, talk about the comments made by Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto summarizing the offseason.

- Jerry Dipoto spoke to the media yesterday and got everyone angry all over again… Defends the offense and the lack of moves this offseason, saying they didn't have a lot of holes to fill and the offense wasn't as bad as it's being made out to be… ;30- The Super Bowl is 5 days away and Opening Night was last night. - Do the Chiefs have the advantage in being there for the 3rd year in a row? - Travis has one question for the media… :45- We defeated the snow for another day and made it into work!

There's a lot going on right now and our heads are spinning. What is going on in the Mountain West? It reminds Ian of the tumultuous relationship he has with college sports. He can't wrap his head around paying the salary of college athletes. Seattle sports are hurting right now - who can we see as the next great hope?   Jim Bowden had some scathing comments regarding Mariners ownership and lack of spending. We take a listen back to his conversation with Softy and Dick and Ian reacts.   Anders has some intel from a current MLB scout who puts a lot of blame on Jerry Dipoto, while Bowden put it all on ownership. Ian points out that regardless of what's going on, MLB teams make money.   Of Keith Law's top 100 prospects in MLB, the Mariners have seven on the list. None of them are pitchers. Ian gets some insight from another MLB scout source who explains how other teams know how desperate the Mariners are, which halts their ability to do business.   Daily Power Play.   Mike Holmgren, Legendary Coach joins us in studio to talk about Klint Kubiak as the new offensive coordinator for the Seahawks. What will he do with the personnel the team currently has? Plus, are we seeing a shift back to more traditional offenses in the NFL? Everyone wants to run the ball, but it's a matter of execution.   Andy Reid is back in the Super Bowl and Coach discusses how he's managed to build a dynasty in Kansas City. Coach shares some stories about coaching in the postseason. Coach takes some questions from listeners.  Crosstalk with Softy!

We continue the conversation about John Schneider's newfound power with a more general look at today's GM's. More and more GM's seem to want the absolute power with no push back from their head coaches, so they make personnel decisions alone and the organization suffers as a result. John Schneider doesn't seem to be the only one in Seattle taking this approach… :30- ABCs of the Mariners: Special Edition D is for Dipoto. Jerry Dipoto wants to make all of the decisions, but he lacks one important skill; people skills and for all of his talent, this continues to stand out as a glaring issue. :45- The Huskies are wearing alternate black uniforms for a Blackout on Friday night. Do we like the choice? How do we feel about UCLA's (ugly) uniforms? Do the Kraken and Blackhawks have the best uniforms in the NHL? Should the Mariners get new uniforms?

We are back after taking a week off to digest the end of the Mariners season!We talk about the M's finishing up at 85-77 on the year and winning five of their last six games, but also about the missed opportunity the team had this season.Furthermore, we discuss the comments by Jerry Dipoto and John Stanton at the end of the season and Brady reveals his new mantra for the M's offseason.Plus, we take a look at some early questions for the offseason ahead.

I say farewell to the 2024 Mariners, and take a look back at the last decade of M's baseball and the pain it's provided to us fans. I touch on the recent Dipoto comments on the off-season, and the Jude article going over what we should expect in terms of $$ spent by the team to prepare for the 2025 season. I salute the Oakland A's at the end and yell at billionaires to end this episode. Thanks for listening all season!Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by for his final visit of the season.  They dive right into the Mariners failures this season and dissected what went wrong and how they could possibly fix it. Jim didn't like the decision for Jerry Dipoto not to do an official end of the year press conference and agreed that John Stanton, the owner should have been present to answer specific questions like why he decided to bring Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander back for another season. Despite Dipoto saying his outfield is set, Puck and Duquette wonder if they will still try and move Randy Arozarena in the offseason.  Duquette is convinced that they will shot Luis Castillo.  The move would free up $72 million and bring some young talent back. Dipoto claims that they will not have any financial restraints, but they owe a lot of money in arbitration to a number of players and that won't leave them a lot once they are finished with those players.

Why??. Both Puck and Jim love the Seahawks +3.5 tonight against Detroit and feel that Geno Smith will once again shine in Detroit.  As Puck likes to point out as a smarts, the team that wins the trenches will win the game! Thanks tips.  Jim wonders if he should write a column on Lee Corso and whey he thinks he should be taken off College GameDay.  Puck, the mature one :), tells Jim not to write the column. Finally, they both find it funny that GameDay will be at Cal this Saturday for the Bears home game against Miami! Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by for his final visit of the season.  They dive right into the Mariners failures this season and dissected what went wrong and how they could possibly fix it. Jim didn't like the decision for Jerry Dipoto not to do an official end of the year press conference and agreed that John Stanton, the owner should have been present to answer specific questions like why he decided to bring Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander back for another season. Despite Dipoto saying his outfield is set, Puck and Duquette wonder if they will still try and move Randy Arozarena in the offseason.  Duquette is convinced that they will shot Luis Castillo.  The move would free up $72 million and bring some young talent back. Dipoto claims that they will not have any financial restraints, but they owe a lot of money in arbitration to a number of players and that won't leave them a lot once they are finished with those players.  Rundown00:00 Jim and Puck lament to the Cougars loss…Mariners season being over and the Seahawks taking on the Lions tonight in MNF10:54 Cougars still can't tackle 16:41 Mariners show themselves as cowards this past weekend 30:50 Why won't ownership acknowledge the Dipoto extension.

Kicking off the long holiday weekend. Huskies and Cougs start their 2024 campaign tomorrow, but you will only be able to watch one of them.Heidi Watney, Apple TV joins the show to discuss the Mariners' home stretch of the season before they play on Apple TV tonight. Where does she see the Mariners ending up at the end of the year? T-Mobile Park may be deterring hitters from joining the club. Ty France joined Heidi following the trade with only good things to say about the city but maybe a bit too much information from the analytics group. Where do the players ultimately stand on the analytics side of baseball? Globalization of baseball. The Mariners have a soft schedule coming up but are still in a bad spot with Houston 4 games up and multiple teams to jump in the Wild Card race. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe!, joins the show to discuss the Mariners. The team is 4-2 under Dan Wilson, and runs per game have increased. Many of which came in a single game but take what we can get. How are the Mariners under .500 this season with Logan Gilbert on the mound? We touch on the systemic issues that seem to be within the Mariners' organization and fans looking to move on from not only Jerry Dipoto and ownership. Danny says ownership is the teams biggest downfall and has kept them from success on the field. Does it mean something that Scott Servais did not mention Dipoto in his good bye statement? The city continues to sour on the Mariners “leadership”. However, one thing we know if that winning can cure all. Daily Power Play,  Awful news out of the NHL as Johnny Gaudreau and his brother passed away last night after being struck by a drunk driver. John Forslund spoke with Mike Benton about the tragedy and his memories of Gaudreau. ROB RANG, FOX SPORTS.COM AND SCOUT FOR THE BC LIONS, joins for the first time this season to talk the upcoming CFB season, and the massive kickoff weekend coming up.

And we react to the terrifying Ryan Divish comments on the "Marine Layer" podcast.

EMERGENCY MOLLYWHOP! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop give their initial reactions to the Mariners' reported firing of Scott Servais. Crawford thinks they're replacing him with Dan Wilson to do everything they can to keep people coming to the ballpark, while failing. Nathan agrees and doesn't know how we can even fairly evaluate Servais in the circumstances in which he's operated. Chris and Nathan remain with us to react to Dan Wilson taking over for the Mariners, and Chris is surprised they didn't go with Manny Acta or Kristopher Negron. This just points to keeping butts in seats. Nathan is watching other moves being made, as in Edgar Martinez joining the staff. These moves are clearly being made over Jerry Dipoto's head. What makes a good manager? Scott Servais was put in an impossible position, in more than one way. Chris and Nathan continue the hour MollyWhop marathon to tell us what kind of team Dan Wilson is inheriting right now. Plus, how safe is Jerry's job right now? Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks gives his first reaction to the Seahawks trading cornerback Michael Jackson to the Panthers for linebacker Michael Barrett. The depth at linebacker is a good add, while the Seahawks had an embarrassment of riches in the defensive backfield, especially at corner. Chuck Powell joins Ian in studio, after having predicted the Servais firing if the Dodgers series went the way it did this week. Neither of the guys want anyone to lose a job, but this move just makes sense. How much blame should be put on Servais or Dipoto for the careers that came to Seattle to die? Chuck gives Jerry Dipoto a lot of credit for what he's done here - if you want him out, be careful what you wish for. An adequate offense should be enough for this team to be a perennial postseason contender. We begin the cavalcade of fans weighing in on the Mariners. Brandon Funston, The Athletic kicks off the unofficial start to the weekend. Today, we talk quarterbacks as you prepare for your fantasy draft. Listeners let loose on the firing of Scott Servais, and boy do we have a lot.

Jason "Puck" Puckett, former KJR host, joined by Brad Adam, Root Sports, for his weekly conversation discussing the Mariners.  The majority of the conversation centered on who is to blame for their play?  Is it the fault of ownership, the front office or the manager?  Puck and Brad both agree they all share blame.  if they do miss the playoffs and make changes at the end of the season, do they just fire Scott Servais or do they also include Jerry Dipoto and the front office into that equation?Why do so many of the players they acquire struggle to hit here?  Servais seems to get all the blame for the offense, but for some fans he gets no credit for how the pitchers perform.  However, Dipoto and the front office get all the credit for the pitching staff, but none of the blame for the offense?  Puck heads out on vacation and will be back on Sept. 2, he asked Brad if the M's will have a deficit that is greater or lesser than five?

Julio got thrown into the fire without a rehab assignment - why? Is Victor Robles' most recent performance sustainable? His contract is extremely club friendly, so why didn't he bet on himself? Has your opinion of Mariners ownership and the front office changed over the last few weeks? Ian applauds them for filling out their outfield.  Steven Souza evaluated the Victor Robles deal and while he applauds Dipoto for getting it done, it's also a bit of a stretch considering his career numbers. He tells us the perspective from both the player and club side.  A listener posed the question whether we'd like Jared Kelenic or Victor Robles right now, and we'd all take Robles. Plus, over in the NFL, we give the latest on the Brandon Aiyuk rumors.  Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins us to react to the Mariners signing Victor Robles to an extension, where they stand in their ability to make the post-season and why there's less value in getting the top seeds right now. However, a first round bye is ideal.  Julio Rodriguez didn't get a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the team and it begs the question 'why'? Steven Souza joined Softy and Hugh yesterday and gave an inside perspective on why that was a bad choice. Sometimes the player needs to be protected from himself.  The Daily Power Play!  We had too many great moments out at Seahawks training camp and one of our favorite interviews was with Seahawks defensive end, Mike Morris. We revisit the best part of that conversation where he takes us inside this time of year.
