Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Movement is afoot! Evan James, Zach Mason and John Trupin are here to deliver the autopsy for the Mariners battered lineup with Julio and JP hitting the IL and Ty France not hitting and therefore hitting the road. With a week to go before the trade deadline the injuries have brought rise to half the Tacoma lineup arriving in Seattle: Jason Vossler, Leo Rivas, Tyler Locklear and the swift return of Jonatan Clase. Is this anything? Probably not but fresh blood...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Evan James is here with Anders Jorstad and Zach Mason to talk the Mariner sin the midst of an uninspiring road trip. As we sit here at about noon on June 23rd, the Mariners are down 2-6 to the Miami Marlins in line for a second consecutive losing series.

Is Luis Robert Jr. in play for a trade? What might...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason, Evan James and Anders Jorstad are here on Wednesday June 12th to celebrate the arrival of Mariners prospect Tyler (no relation to Heather) Locklear. The big news of the day is that BRYAN WOO IS OKAY! I’m sorry but that’s genuinely all I care about. Bryan Woo’s MRI was “perfectly clean”, they expect to slot him back into the rotation next week, likely on a pitch count and he’ll throw 6 shutout anyways because that’s what Woo do. Everything is coming up...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Evan James, Zach Mason and Anders Jorstad are here, weak in the knees in the aftermath of the greatest rap beef of all time to talk about…The Mariners? The Mariners! Walter rolled through the Houston Astros last night en route to a 5-0 shutout win with B Money on the rubber this afternoon.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin, Evan James and Grant Bronsdon are here on April 21st 2024 to talk suddenly red hot Mariners before the double header closes out the weekend. Last night, on an audacious 4/20 the Mariners decided to roll up and smoke the Rockies in a blizzard. Finally getting deep double digits hits (4 hits for Cal and Julio!) propelled the offense to look more alive than they have all season. Your eyes do not deceive you, the team had indeed played better offensively...

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason, Evan James and here with Kate Preusser on April 3rd to dissect the early returns of the 3-4 Mariners.
