Then it’s the Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle, the trio breaks down Opening Day storylines: Logan Gilbert's pressure as the new No. 1, Emerson Hancock stepping in for George Kirby, Rowdy Tellez’s boom-or-bust upside, and whether Seattle’s quietly dangerous roster can win a suddenly winnable AL West.
