Brady talks on Thursday with ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney about the M's acquisition of Jose Ferrer, trading away Harry Ford, and more, including if we should be worried that Jorge Polanco hasn't signed yet.
Seahawks Guard Grey Zabel joins the show to talk about how he feels his rookie year has gone, when he got his welcome to the NFL moment, and shared some funny details about his viral moment with Cardinals defensive lineman Calais Campbell. // Wyman & Bob react to what Jerry Dipoto had to say about the reason they traded Harry Ford and what they liked about reliever Jose Ferrer. // The Seahawks have four games remaining in their regular season schedule, Wyman & Bob break down which of those four games will be the toughest for the Seahawks.
Brady is back on a Monday night as the winter meetings kick off in Orlando, taking about the latest rumors regarding Ketel Marte and Brendan Donovan.Also, what's the latest on Jorge Polanco? We have some new information. And Brady breaks down the Jose Ferrer trade from the weekend and we learn more about Ferrer from Rick Graham of Pitcher List.
If you had Phillip Rivers return to the NFL on your 2025 bingo card, congrats! While it's not official, Rivers worked out for the Colts last night and it's highly possible he could un-retire and sign with the Colts who are dealing with a VERY difficult situation at QB. The Seahawks have faced their fair share of backup quarterbacks, but this week against the Colts is on another level. :30- The Winter Meetings are ongoing and activity is slow! - Are we happy with the trade return for Harry Ford? - Could Mitch Garver make a reduced-rate return to the Mariners? - The Mariners are being mentioned in Ketel Marte trade rumors. - CJ Abrams could also be a possibility… - What's up with Murakami? He has to sign with a team by 12/22, the clock is ticking. :45- The Kraken dropped their 6th straight game, losing to the Wild at home last night and that may not have been the worst thing to happen!

The Seahawks are now a 10-win team with a 10-3 record. You can argue that 7 of the Seahawks 10 wins have been blowouts. The only question left to answer is how will the Seahawks offense perform in a 2-minute drill. // Need to Know: The Seahawks special teams came up big with a 100-yard TD return by Rashid Shaheed and the 12’s traveled well down to Atlanta. The Mariners made a move over the weekend dealing Harry Ford to the Nationals for left-handed reliever Jose Ferrer. The Huskies will take on the Boise State Broncos in the LA Bowl, while WSU lost their head football coach. // Even though the Seahawks came out with a dominant win, the first half offense by the Hawks was anything but great. What was holding the offense back before the 3rd quarter? Should Sam Darnold use his legs more and run instead of throwing the ball away? // Blue 88: What were the most impressive stats from the Seahawks win over the Falcons? How did Jarren Reed and Julian love play yesterday and what was their production like? What was Brock’s biggest takeaway from casting his Heisman ballot?
This Seahawks team plays with an athletic arrogance and confidence that is not unlike the LOB era Seahawks but Brock says there is bit more humility with this team and that probably comes from the head coach and his approach. Then, in Need to Know, we discuss the Seahawks win over the Falcons, the M's trading Harry Ford to the Nationals for Jose Ferrer, WSU football coach Jimmy Rogers departing for Iowa State and fallout from the CFP decisions. **The Mike Macdonald Show can only be found exclusively on the Seattle Sports YouTube page and the Seattle Sports app until 10 am Tuesday morning.
The Seahawks had a dominant win over the Falcons yesterday and Nick Emmanwori had the best game of his rookie season. It was a complete win for the Seahawks with everyone contributing. // Need to Know: The Seahawks special teams came up big with a 100-yard TD return by Rashid Shaheed and the 12’s traveled well down to Atlanta. The Mariners made a move over the weekend dealing Harry Ford to the Nationals for left-handed reliever Jose Ferrer. The Huskies will take on the Boise State Broncos in the LA Bowl, while WSU lost their head football coach. // Maura takes us Around the Weekend with all the news from the NFL and College Football. One big note, Daniel Jones hurt his achilles and he will be out when the Colts come to Seattle next week.
The Mariners traded Harry Ford to the Nationals for relief pitcher Jose Ferrer. With that move now done, what is next for the Mariners? Should the Mariners go after Ketel Marte? // Need to Know: The Seahawks special teams came up big with a 100-yard TD return by Rashid Shaheed and the 12’s traveled well down to Atlanta.

The Seahawks routed the Falcons in Atlanta after a slow offensive start, and by the end of the game, all three phases were clicking. :30- The college football playoffs are set and there are some seriously angry fan bases.

The Washington Nationals shook up their offseason plans by trading emerging closer Jose A. Ferrer to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for top catching prospect Harry Ford and young right-hander Isaac Lyon. Ferrer, a 25-year-old lefty with elite velocity and years of team control, had been viewed as a long-term bullpen anchor. But with the market for high-leverage left-handed relievers thin and Ferrer drawing strong leaguewide interest, the Nationals capitalized on the opportunity to address a major organizational weakness behind the plate. Ford, once one of Seattle's most touted prospects, had trouble finding playing time behind star catcher Cal Raleigh but now gets a clear runway to develop into Washington's everyday starter.

It's just Jane and Lauren again and we did a great job staying on topic because there was a ton of great baseball stuff to talk about. Dbacks have another weird game, this time giving up nine runs before recording an out. Jose Ferrer learning to play saxophone in the bullpen. Yankees/Dodgers. Paul Goldschmidt is having a great season. Twins/Mariners series is outrageous so far and Cal Raleigh is dumping dingers all over the place. MLB makes an investment in Athletes Unlimited. Then of course we had to talk about Pride Month and a terrible Pride article from Outsports. We unlocked our Pride Guide for 2025 on the main feed, but you should still go support the show at Patreon.com/BattingAround by signing up at the Slapdick Prospect tier.

In this episode the FM3 DIVE into a horror film from 1982 that none of the crew had seen or for that matter even heard of called "BLOODTIDE" starring James Earl Jones, Martin Kove, Deborah Shelton and more! This Greek hunk fest got the guys schweaty and ready to hit the beach and do some treasure hunting with Darth Vader himself! But wouldn't you know it, there is a monster on the loose and somebody has to stop it! This weird overlooked flick from the 80's is a trip and Forever Midnight suggests you take that trip at least once, but don't forget your sunblock!

Released 69 years ago this week, The Cockleshell Heroes was a heavily fictionalised account of the real-life WW2 Operation Frankton, in which a group of marines, headed by Herbert ‘Blondie' Hasler, covertly entered Bordeaux Harbour in kayaks (or ‘Cockles') to sabotage German cargo vessels. The film starred actor/director Jose Ferrer and Trevor Howard, with Anthony Newley and… drum roll… DAVID LODGE providing solid support as Marines Clarke & Ruddock respectively. Although The Cockleshell Heroes was a hit with audiences and looks gorgeous in Technicolour it doesn't tend to get talked about as much as other similar WW2 films of the period and perhaps this was partly down to the almost anti-climactic third act. However, thanks to shameless plugging by David Lodge on a frequent basis some two decades later as part of Spike Milligan's Q series the film is still regarded affectionately by some people, particularly listeners to this podcast, and it seemed a nice idea to put it under the scrutinising gaze of your host and his special guest this week. Joining Tyler is Warren Cummings, host of The Cinematic Sausage podcast and someone with a very direct link to the true events which this film depicts – his grandfather served alongside the ‘Cockleshell Heroes' in WW2. It's a great chat with tons of fascinating factual information about Operation Frankton and how the film reflected the true events, plus there's a long-deserved tribute to David Lodge, without whom this podcast would be poorer.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** When screen legend GENA ROWLANDS passed away last month at the age of 94, she left behind a film and TV legacy that will undoubtedly influence artists for decades to come.

EPISODE 51 - “Richard Conte (Star of the Month) ” - 09/02/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** In the great film noir classic Thieves Highway, a gripping drama that takes on the dirty underbelly of the trucking industry, the spectacular RICHARD CONTE plays Nick Garcos, a world-weary, jaded, World War II vet who returns home. After finding his family's produce business in shambles and his father crippled, he seeks revenge against the crooked rival produce dealer who caused his father's accident. In his gripping portrayal, Conte shows his strengths as an actor. With his square shoulders, cleft chin, and intense eyes, Conte gives the impression that he means business. Conte was just as comfortable playing mobsters and street hoods as he was playing charming, sympathetic leading men.

There was something magical about Rosemary Clooney: the girl next door with the velvet tones. A 1950s dreamboat that you imagined might bring you cocoa on a chilly evening, and rub your temples after you had labored for hours, toiling to create the perfect arrangement for her. A game lady. I admit I may have been dazzled by the Show Biz glow reflected onto this goddess from her husband, Academy Winning actor, Jose Ferrer; her brother, Nick, the eminent broadcaster; her son, moody Thespian Miguel; and her handsome ne'er-do well nephew, George…But, bottom line: It was Rosemary's voice — the dulcet sound from one of the swingiest jazz divas ever, that kept me, and millions like me, listening. Her career took a dip, but like I said she was “game” — game enough to attempt to make a record with Wild Man Fischer - the psychotic that Frank Zappa had discovered. She eventually made a comeback that had staying power: this recording was made in 1984, and here, the seasoned, knowing conjurer invites us to drink her feel-good potion, and become re-intoxicated.

A confident, passionate physics professor witnesses a bank robbery, and it turns his life upside down. Jose Ferrer's minions paralyze him, but they can't keep him down, and they certainly don't expect his greatest creation ever...Exo-Man! Unfortunately, this 1977 TV movie/series pilot from many of the people behind "The Six Million Dollar Man" doesn't even live up to its potential as a cheap Iron Man knockoff. Still, we have fun talking about it and maybe even learn a thing or two about physics. Also, stay tuned for a rare musical surprise. #podcast #tv #retrotv #seventies #tvmovie #exoman #superhero #failedpilot

Locked On Nationals - Daily Podcast On The Washington Nationals
Ryan opens up today's show discussing the Nationals cutting Yadiel Hernandez from the 40 man roster, as the 35 year old cleared waivers and has been assigned to AAA Rochester. It was an up and down season at the plate for Yadiel Hernandez, although his numbers may indicate an above average MLB hitter. What type of impact would Yadiel Hernandez have in the big leagues, and could we see him in a curly-W uniform in 2023? Ryan explains it all here. Also, the Nats selected 6 contracts to be saved from the Rule 5 draft at yesterday's deadline, and all of them are now on the 40-man roster. Those prospects are Jake Alu, Jackson Rutledge, Jeremy De La Rosa, Matt Cronin, Jose Ferrer, & Jake Irvin. Ryan discusses the potential ALL of these guys can bring to the table for the 2023 Nats, and talks about the likelihood of any of these guys making their MLB debut in 2023. What type of upside do each of these guys have?
