Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe react to Adrian Hanauer's open letter to Sounders supporters, breaking down what the majority owner actually said, what he chose to leave out, and whether the messaging matches the moment for a fan base that has watched the season slip away. Lobbing Scorchers digs into whether the Sounders will actually add another reinforcement before the window closes. New signing Dejan Joveljić could give the attack the presence it has been missing, but with midfield questions still unresolved and injury risk piling up across the roster, is one striker really enough to salvage the playoff push? Ari and Noah round out the show with the results of a Lobbing Scorchers supporter poll, getting into who actually filled it out, why supporters still stand behind Brian Schmetzer despite the results, the growing criticism of Sounders spending, and the worsening sentiment across the fan base.Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.comFollow Lobbing Scorchers:YouTubeInstagramBlueskyTikTokFacebookAri LiljenwallNoah RiffeSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

The Orange & Blue continue their home stint with another Western Conference opponent, the one which started the incredible journey. While it has been three years since Cincinnati and Seattle tangled, you can never forget that first moment when the Sounders welcomed Cincy to MLS (and the 4-1 beatdown that followed it). The worn cleat has certainly been on the other foot lately. Cincinnati have kept their heads above water, but Seattle has sunk to the bottom. The Sounders come into Saturday's match on an eight-match MLS winless streak. Is the Brian Schmetzer era coming to a climax? Or do the Sounders have Cincinnati right where they want them? We talk with Jeremiah from Sounder At Heart to understand the conundrums behind Seattle's disastrous about-face. Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

Six straight losses have forced us to reevaluate a lot of our preseason and early-season takes. It's only fair to look back and ask where our assumptions missed the mark. This isn't about apologizing for old takes, it's about learning what this stretch has taught us about the roster and what we might've missed.Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.com☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee, a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

The Seattle Sounders are coming off arguably the worst performance in club history, and for an occasion this unprecedented, we're devoting the entire show to processing the fallout. After entering the World Cup break at 7-3-3, Seattle returned to a 5-1 annihilation by the Portland Timbers in front of more than 35,000 fans at Lumen Field. On this episode we'll break down every angle of the historic collapse. Was it an inexplicable outlier or an x-ray of deeper problems? How much responsibility belongs to Brian Schmetzer and Craig Waibel, and what does the result say about Seattle's roster construction, ownership spending and veteran leadership? We'll also examine Jordan Morris' complicated DP situation, the decision to send Snyder Brunell and Paul Rothrock to face the media, and where the Sounders go from here.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.
