Back Sports Page presents a new episode of the Exit Velo podcast with your host Adam Cohen and Henry Winkelhake. Adam Cohen and Henry Winkelhake discuss the shocking statements made by former Mariners CEO/President Kevin Mather. His words were insensitive towards foreign-born players Julio Rodriguez and Hisashi Iwakuma as well as Top 100 prospect Jarred Kelenic. Afterward, the crew wraps up the weekly transactions. There were not too many signings this past week since Spring Training begins on February 28th, but a few relievers inked Major League deals. To cap off the show, the team dives into their Top 10 first basemen lists. There is a clear favorite for the best first baseman in the game, but the rest of the picks are very different. Follow the show and the archives at www.backsportspage.com and on the Back Sports Page social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram). Please add the show page from the website as well.

Adam Cohen and Henry Winkelhake discuss the shocking statements made by former Mariners CEO/President Kevin Mather. His words were insensitive towards foreign-born players Julio Rodriguez and Hisashi Iwakuma as well as Top 100 prospect Jarred Kelenic. Afterward, the crew wraps up the weekly transactions. There were not too many signings this past week since Spring Training begins on February 28th, but a few relievers inked Major League deals. To cap off the show, the team dives into their Top 10 first basemen lists. There is a clear favorite for the best first baseman in the game, but the rest of picks are very different.
Mariners CEO Kevin Mather joined the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club for a video chat where he revealed several details about the state of the franchise and their business strategies. Some of Mather's comments have sparked controversy. He admitted to service time manipulation last year and complained about Julio Rodriguez and Hisashi Iwakuma's English proficiency. All this (and more) on today's episode.
BayStars reliever Spencer Patton is the guest, we discuss DeNA skipper Alex Ramirez stepping down from Yokohama, look at whatâs left of the league races, focusing on Yudai Ono and the Dragons taking control of second place in the Central and the push for second in the Pacific, then touch on the Hisashi Iwakuma retirement and other notes.
0:00-12:15: Crown Hill (and then Capitol Hill’s) own Grant Bronsdon blesses the mic to talk about his Mariner fandom. He says it was born partly out of newspaper sports sections. Kids, newspapers are like acoustic Twitter. In a wonderful sliding doors scenario, Grant and last week’s guest were at the same formative game in 2001. A long overdue Woody Williams shout out somehow leads us down the football and soccer paths. Sports are intersectional, I think? 12:20-21:45: How does Grant remain a beacon of optimism despite ... [gestures vaguely at the Mariners]? The central tenet of Mariner fandom is definitely bonding over the badness, right? How has that evolved with age and cynicism? Are the mechanics of your viewing experience different? 21:50-34:55: Trying to figure out when our fandom began to shift toward logic and reason over emotion, which for Grant, unsurprisingly, came from being a boy genius that eventually went to Yale. Grant then describes his time interning in the Mariners’ baseball operations department. Talk of supply closets, people getting fired, and Hisashi Iwakuma punking the Orioles. Our gracious guest also shares some details on what an MLB draft day is like and what doing the Mariners as a job did for his enjoyment of the team. 35:00-1:02:47: Have any of you heard of this thing called “interests that aren’t sports”? Sounds made up. As we age, we appreciate and respect Rick Rizzs. This is the circle of life in these parts. Finally, say it with us, it’s okay to step away from the Mariners every now and then. Two dudes with zero combined children try their hand at parenting strategies. The episode ends with Matthew painting a beautiful picture of Grant’s living room and the obligatory question: what was your lowest point as an M’s fan?
