We're thrilled to welcome Brady Farkas, a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation, the host of The Brady Farkas Show, and the voice behind the Refuse to Lose Mariners Podcast. With nearly a decade of experience in sports talk radio and a deep understanding of the game, Brady is here to give us the inside scoop on the Seattle Mariners heading into the 2025 season. In this episode, we dive into a range of topics about the Mariners and their future. We start by hearing about Brady's background—what led him to podcasting and writing about the Mariners, and how his experience in sports talk radio has shaped his coverage of the team. We also reflect on the Mariners' 2024 season, including their impressive lead over the Astros and what ultimately went wrong during that stretch. The Mariners made a major managerial change in August, parting ways with Scott Servais and bringing in Dan Wilson. Brady shares his thoughts on whether it was the right time for a change and what Wilson brings to the table. We also talk about one of the team's shining stars, Cal Raleigh, and whether there's a chance the Mariners extend him before his arbitration years come to an end. From there, we dive into the Mariners' pitching staff, which has long been the strength of the team. Brady gives his take on whether the Mariners should consider trading a pitcher for offensive help, and which pitcher in the rotation has the highest ceiling. We also discuss Jerry DiPoto's tenure as GM, and whether the team's direction is sustainable heading into 2025. Looking ahead to the offseason, Brady shares his ideal moves for the Mariners and some realistic predictions for what they'll actually do. We also talk about some of the under-the-radar prospects who could make a surprise impact in the near future, and what's next for Julio Rodríguez as he looks to bounce back. Finally, we take a look at the AL West and the Mariners' chances of winning the division in 2025, as well as the ongoing discussions around Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki. Brady wraps up by sharing his hopes and expectations for the Mariners in the coming seasons.

The Mariners road trip has been an absolute disaster and Salk has some thoughts on it. He also does not think Scott Servais is to blame. Later, they revisit their interview with Jeff Passan to get his take on the state of the Mariners and what things could look like for them moving forward.

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?
