It's Tuesday, and the Mariners are getting back into the playoff race. They are 4.5 games back of the Astros in the AL West and 3.0 back of the Twins in the wild card race. Are we starting to believe again? Then, we talk about why the M's need to try to get Edgar Martinez back as hitting coach in 2025, and then we look at the team bringing back Jerry Dipoto. Our own Teren Kowatsch from the Mariners on SI team spent Sunday in Everett with Colt Emerson, Laz Montes and Michael Arroyo. He calls in with his takeaways.

Here's the skinny: The Seattle Mariners took the final two games in Oakland to move to 71-70 on the year. They are now just 4.5 games back in the American League West and are trying to give us all a sliver of hope. We spent a good portion of this episode talking about why Jerry Dipoto shouldn't be back in 2025, and then the Mariners apparently decided to bring him back. We're releasing the episode anyways, because it was awesome. We had on Adnan Virk of the MLB Network and Tom Caron of NESN, who have unique perspectives on what the Mariners are going through. We also react to Ryan Divish's appearance on the Jason Puckett podcast.

Sep 2, 2024

Brady declares the season over after a tough weekend against the Los Angeles Angels, but he says you should still watch the games and listen to the podcast. He outlines things he's curious about the rest of the way and we sit down for a long chat with @MarinerMuse about the team now - and what's coming next. The Mariners play the A's tonight, so we decided to release a little holiday episode today. Our next episode will be Friday as usual.

Furthermore, Brady still doesn't think it's Dipoto's fault that Scott Servais found out he was being fired online. Then, Danny O'Neil joins us to talk about his article, his thoughts on Jerry and more. And we react to the terrifying Ryan Divish comments on the "Marine Layer" podcast.

Also, now-former M's hitting coach Brant Brown had some interesting comments on a podcast recently about Julio Rodriguez's approach. What exactly did he say and what does Julio need to work on moving forward? Furthermore, we have a new goal for this team before September 1? What is it? AND... on Wednesday after the M's-Rays game, we're going LIVE with a podcast on YouTube. Find the link on Brady's "X" account @wdevradiobrady.

We look at that decision, why it was necessary and what our feelings are on Servais's time and tenure. Furthermore, why does Scott have to go but Jerry Dipoto gets to stay? Do we believe he's safe moving forward? And what about the decision to hire Dan Wilson as manager on a permanent basis? Then, we're joined by Ty Buttrey, who played three big leagues with the Angels before joining the M's organization this season. What were his experiences with Servais and what does he think about the direction baseball has gone in? And finally, Scott releases a statement on his firing and we react on-air.

We talk about the Victor Robles story, both in terms of the now and the future. Could the M's work to lock him up early, and what would it do to the outfield if they did? And then we're joined by Ty Dane Gonzalez of "Locked On Mariners" and Teren Kowatsch of our Mariners on SI team. (Please note that we selected the wrong microphone for the interview portion of the podcast accounting for the different-sounding audio)
