Episode 390 - 9.6 Billion Going Once. 9.6 Billion Going Twice… 07/13/2026

Episode 390 - 9.6 Billion Going Once. 9.6 Billion Going Twice… RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 390 with an unexpected detour into horse sanctuary volunteer orientation before turning their attention to a Mariners club desperately in need of the All-Star break after another miserable road trip. They discuss Seattle's lone All-Star representative Randy Arozarena, and the struggling offense before shifting to the biggest local sports story of the week: the $9.6 billion sale of the Seahawks to the Khosla family. Mitch and Brady Farkas survey a Mariners club that limps into the All-Star break below .500 after another frustrating road trip, debating whether an 8-2 finale provides any real optimism. The conversation centers on the anticipated returns of Julio Rodríguez and Brendan Donovan, and the uncomfortable reality that Seattle's season ultimately hinges on Cal Raleigh. Fresh off attending nine matches across the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Matt "Stretch" Johnson joins Mitch for one final World Cup recap as the pair dissect the United States' disappointing 4-1 loss to Belgium. The conversation explores the goalkeeper's costly mistakes, the overall trajectory of the U.S. program heading toward 2030, and why the next World Cup in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco should feature many of the same American stars. A miserable Mariners sweep in Miami sends Mitch and Danny O'Neil down one of the show's most delightfully bizarre rabbit holes, as baseball takes a backseat to an extended discussion about uneven sideburns, proper barbershop etiquette, London's luxurious hot-towel shaves, ear-hair removal by flame, and Mitch's childhood memories of his mother singeing stray chicken hairs with a blowtorch before dinner. The conversation eventually pivots to a sobering examination of former Seahawk Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, prompting a thoughtful debate over football's long-term health risks.

Episode 389 - Seattle: Center of the Sports Universe RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott celebrate America's 250th birthday before bouncing into Mariners baseball, Seahawks training camp, and the looming U.S.–Belgium World Cup matchup. Mitch hilariously admits he's too self-conscious to watch soccer in public because he has no idea when he's actually supposed to get excited, then the pair roll through another edition of birthday trivia. After a 5-1 week that included back-to-back shutouts of Toronto, Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas examine a Mariners rotation that suddenly looks like one of baseball's best while debating Randy Arozarena's All-Star selection, Julio Rodríguez's concussion, and which pitchers could still earn late invitations to Philadelphia. The conversation then shifts toward the trade deadline, lineup decisions, potential bullpen upgrades, and whether Seattle can survive a difficult road trip through Miami and Tampa. With training camp just weeks away, Mitch and ESPN Seahawks insider Brady Henderson assess where the defending Super Bowl champions stand, from Devin Witherspoon's unresolved contract and the impact of offensive coordinator Brian Fleury to the competition brewing throughout the roster. After FIFA overturns Folarin Balogun's controversial red card suspension, Mitch and Matt Stretch Johnson revisit their previous conversation to explain why the ruling dramatically changes the United States' outlook against Belgium. Stretch breaks down why the matchup favors the Americans, explains the different ways to bet knockout-stage soccer, previews a potential quarterfinal showdown with Spain or Portugal, and shares why Seattle is about to host one of the biggest sporting events in the city's history.

Episode 388 - Is Dan Wilson on Thin Ice? (Should He Be?) 06/29/2026

Episode 388 - Is Dan Wilson on Thin Ice? (Should He Be?) RUNDOWN Frustrated by another Mariners series loss, Mitch argues that Dan Wilson's quick hook of Emerson Hancock in Cleveland set off the bullpen dominoes that ultimately cost Seattle the game. He and Hotshot Scott debate whether the manager deserves the blame, discuss why the season isn't lost despite the club slipping under .500, and preview an episode packed with Mariners prospect talk, World Cup excitement, and another edition of Release Date trivia. The Mariners' ugly loss in Cleveland sparks a spirited debate over Dan Wilson's bullpen management, whether Emerson Hancock should have finished the sixth inning, and if Seattle is putting itself in impossible situations with its pitching decisions. Mitch, Brady, and Joe also dissect the confusing six-man rotation strategy, discuss whether Emerson Hancock belongs in the bullpen, evaluate internal reinforcements like Ryan Sloan and Patrick Wisdom, preview the upcoming Angels and Blue Jays series, and make their weekly "Out on a Limb" predictions. MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis joins Mitch to break down another loaded Mariners farm system, offering updates on Colt Emerson's development, Felin Celesten's breakout season, and why Seattle continues to boast one of baseball's deepest prospect pipelines. The conversation also dives into Kade Anderson's rapid rise, Ryan Sloan's ace potential, the upcoming MLB Draft, and how the Mariners could eventually use their prospect depth to chase a World Series. Mitch and Jason Puckett spend another episode doing what they do best—arguing over the Mariners, poking fun at each other's broadcasting habits, and turning small disagreements into entertaining debates. They also dive into Puck's upcoming trip to Spain, the Running of the Bulls, World Cup excitement, and the polarizing reaction to U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark.

The Mariners limp toward the halfway point battling injuries, an offense that continues to struggle against left-handed pitching, and lingering questions about the piggyback pitching experiment. Mitch, Joe, and Brady discuss Dom Canzone's emergence as an everyday player, Logan Gilbert's recent dominance, the club's ability to stay afloat despite mounting absences, and what lies ahead against Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Stretch joins Mitch to explain why this year's World Cup feels different despite being hosted in the United States, recounting three decades of World Cup adventures with his brother while breaking down Team USA's unexpected success. The conversation covers Seattle's electric atmosphere, the Americans' path through the knockout rounds, and why a potential Round of 16 match at Lumen Field could become one of the biggest sporting events in Seattle history. Bob Harig joins Mitch from Shinnecock Hills to break down Wyndham Clark's controversial victory, why golf fans have been slow to embrace him, and Scottie Scheffler's frustrating near-miss at the career Grand Slam. They also discuss Joaquin Niemann's costly penalty, Tiger Woods' uncertain future, Phil Mickelson's complicated legacy, and why Shinnecock remains one of the most polarizing U.S. Open venues in golf.

Episode 386 - Kill the 6-Man Rotation, Please! 06/15/2026

Episode 386 - Kill the 6-Man Rotation, Please! RUNDOWN Mitch and Danny bounce from the changing economics of podcasting to baseball’s disappearing workhorse pitchers before revisiting area codes and birthday trivia. Along the way, they debate Hall of Fame cases for Wade Boggs, Mike Holmgren, Vince Carter, and Tim Lincecum—while wondering whether “The Freak” could become Cooperstown’s greatest omission. Broadcasting from the middle of Knicks mania, Danny gives Mitch a firsthand look at what a title run means in New York. The pair explore why America briefly embraced the Knicks, compare New York fandom to European soccer culture, and debate whether Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs let a championship slip away. The Mariners return home from a disappointing road trip with injuries mounting and the AL West tightening. Mitch, Brady, and Joe sort through Seattle’s recent slide, debate lineup and roster decisions involving Cal Raleigh, J.P. Crawford, and Cole Young, and examine bullpen concerns, Matt Brash’s durability, and the future of the six-man rotation. Fresh off a 16-day European adventure, Mitch and Puck reflect on the joys and exhaustion of traveling with adult children, from Berlin and Tuscany to Rome and London’s Churchill War Rooms. The conversation eventually returns to Seattle, where Andrés Muñoz’s struggles and the search for bullpen help dominate the discussion.

Episode 385 - "Hey Andrés, I Came Back from Europe for This?!" 06/08/2026

Episode 385 - "Hey Andrés, I Came Back from Europe for This?!" RUNDOWN After 16 days across London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Florence, Mitch returns home exhausted, overfed, broke, and surprisingly fond of Berlin. He and Hotshot Scott break down the trip, from ranking Europe's biggest cities and comparing food cultures to discussing sightseeing fatigue, Segway tours, horseback riding in Tuscany, and the realization that his sons viewed the entire vacation very differently than he did. Fresh off his European adventure, Mitch quickly pivots back to the Mariners and a pitching situation that suddenly looks very different than it did a month ago. With the piggyback experiment shelved for now, the focus turns to Bryce Miller's dominant return to form, Luis Castillo's resurgence after being challenged, and whether Seattle's six-man rotation creates more opportunities than problems. The Mariners’ series loss in Detroit quickly turns into a deeper conversation about Andrés Muñoz, whose recent struggles have Brady and Joe (Mariners No-Table) debating whether Seattle can continue treating him as an automatic ninth-inning option. The trio examines bullpen management, the challenges created by the six-man rotation, potential closer alternatives, and whether the trade deadline could force Jerry Dipoto to look for outside relief help. Steve Phillips hasn’t jumped off the Mariners bandwagon despite an uneven first two months. He explains why Seattle’s pitching depth, second-half track record, and a weak American League still make them a legitimate World Series contender, while also addressing growing concerns about Andrés Muñoz and potential bullpen fixes before the trade deadline. GUESTS Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Steve Phillips | Former GM of New York Mets, MLB Network Analyst, SiriusXM host TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch recaps a whirlwind European family vacation filled with unforgettable sights, culture shocks, and a chaotic front-row experience of Paris Saint-Germain’s riot-filled Champions League celebration. 33:42 | The Mariners’ pitching surplus is suddenly a good problem, as Bryce Miller’s resurgence, Luis Castillo’s rebound, and Cade Anderson’s rise force Seattle to weigh rotation depth against potential trade-deadline opportunities. 45:28 | Mariners No-Table: The Mariners’ bullpen concerns take center stage as Andrés Muñoz’s struggles spark closer questions, but strong performances from Bryce Miller, Cole Young, and Colt Emerson help keep Seattle firmly atop the division. 1:09:42 | Steve Phillips: Steve Phillips still sees the Mariners as a legitimate World Series threat, with pitching depth, roster flexibility, and a weak American League outweighing bullpen concerns and lineup questions. 1:29:28 | Other Stuff Segment: Caitlin Clark illness during Commissioner's Cup game, Russell Wilson joining CBS, Russell Wilson Hall of Fame debate, Myles Garrett traded to Rams, Aaron Donald comeback speculation, Rams vs Seahawks offseason comparison, Nolan Teasley hired by Vikings, NFL minority hiring compensation picks, Madden NFL 27 cover featuring Caleb Williams, Brandon Roy and Garfield recruiting scandal, Eastside Catholic recruiting jokes, Nick Saban NIL criticism and congressional testimony, French Open champions Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva, Magda Linette Cinderella run at Roland-Garros.

Episode 384 - Mitch Flees the Country 05/25/2026

Episode 384 - Mitch Flees the Country RUNDOWN Broadcasting from London while trying—and failing—to escape Mariners frustration, Mitch and Hotshot Scott bounce between Seattle baseball misery, European travel mishaps, London culture shock, soccer ticket disasters, and Mitch’s realization that even crossing the street becomes dangerous when everything operates backward. They also hit Churchill history, Wembley dreams gone sideways, tourist adventures, and the strange reality that no amount of distance from Seattle seems capable of keeping Mariners disappointment from finding Mitch overseas. With Mitch away, Brady and Joe take an unfiltered look at a Mariners team that suddenly feels flat, frustrating, and increasingly difficult for fans to embrace. They dig into defensive problems, strikeouts, inconsistent offense, lineup decisions, clubhouse energy, and whether Seattle’s identity has become too predictable and too dependent on home runs. Mitch and Puck wrestle with one of the biggest frustrations surrounding the Mariners right now: when questionable decisions happen during games, who actually owns them? The conversation centers on Dan Wilson, Jerry Dipoto, analytics influence, bullpen management, lineup choices, and whether modern baseball has created too many voices in the room. They also hit on Bryce Miller’s interrupted no-hit bid, the controversial piggyback pitching approach, and the growing feeling that Seattle’s biggest problem might not be talent. Mitch and Danny dive into growing frustration around the Mariners’ decision-making, debating whether Dan Wilson is truly managing instinctively or operating under organizational marching orders from above. The conversation turns into a bigger argument about modern baseball philosophy, bullpen usage, lineup management, and whether Seattle is overthinking itself out of wins.

Episode 383 - A Schedule Suited for Champs 05/18/2026

Episode 383 - A Schedule Suited for Champs RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 383 by marveling at the bizarre obsession surrounding the NFL schedule release, questioning why fans and media treat dates and kickoff times like breaking world events. And then, they break down the Seahawks’ newly released schedule, from the bizarre Rams clustering and overloaded prime time slate to the brutal late-season stretch loaded with short weeks and playoff-caliber opponents. The conversation turns into a bigger NFC West discussion, with Mitch quietly predicting San Francisco wins the division while Seattle lands at 11–6 and grabs a wild card spot. Mitch, Brady, and Joe dissect a Mariners club that suddenly looks lifeless after another ugly series loss to San Diego, with injuries piling up and the offense disappearing again. The conversation centers on whether Colt Emerson’s promotion can inject energy into a flat clubhouse, why Seattle’s veteran-heavy roster may lack emotional spark, and whether the AL West being mediocre is the only thing keeping the season afloat right now. Mitch and Puck bounce from petty website slights and Tiger Woods speculation into a spirited debate over Cal Raleigh playing hurt and the Mariners’ late-game strategy. The real fireworks come when Mitch unveils his theory that the NFL intentionally put Mike Vrabel and the Patriots in a primetime opener against Seattle.

Episode 382 - Spinning Their Wheels 05/11/2026

Episode 382 - Spinning Their Wheels RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot dive into the growing obsession surrounding Mariners prospects Kade Anderson and Colt Emerson, debating the impossible question every fan wrestles with: when is a young star actually “ready”? Mitch argues the bigger story right now might be the excitement around the kids in the minors rather than the inconsistent big-league club itself. The Mariners No-Table crew reacts to Seattle wasting another opportunity to gain ground in the AL West after dropping a series to the White Sox, with the conversation centering on Cal Raleigh’s brutal slump, a lineup that can’t hit with runners in scoring position, and whether the offense is fundamentally flawed. Joe Doyle questions whether Rob Refsnyder’s roster spot is already in jeopardy, while Brady Farkas warns the team is running out of time to keep calling these stretches “frustrating.” Christian Caple joins Mitch to break down the strange reality of opening the season with the Apple Cup, why the Demond Jr. Williams NIL saga probably won’t matter unless he struggles, and whether fans are already primed to overreact to every interception. They also dig into Washington’s biggest roster questions — especially at running back after Adam Mohammed’s departure — plus why Jedd Fisch is betting heavily on young talent instead of portal mercenaries. Derek Berg joins Mitch to talk about the long, winding golf journey that finally landed him in the PGA Championship at age 44 — from getting dropped off at Carnation Golf Course as a kid to grinding through mini tours, teaching lessons, and surviving years of close calls at the PGA Professional Championship.

Episode 381 - Adding Injuries to Insult 05/04/2026

Episode 381 - Adding Injuries to Insult RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open with a rough week—Mariners struggles, injuries piling up, and the viral JP Morgan story turning out to be a complete hoax. The segment mixes frustration and humor, as they unpack how quickly stories spiral online and how a bad sports week can somehow get even worse. A brutal sweep by Kansas City sends the Mariners into a tailspin, exposing sloppy play, injuries, and an offense that completely disappeared. The crew breaks down what went wrong, why Bryan Woo suddenly looks vulnerable, and whether Julio Rodríguez’s early heater can be the lifeline this team desperately needs. Ray Roberts breaks down a reshaped Seahawks roster, from letting key veterans walk to trusting a rookie backfield in a Super Bowl defense of their title. He explains why the team is leaning on continuity, how the offense stays intact with a new coordinator, and what fans should realistically expect from a “reload” rather than a rebuild. Danny opens up about his nine-year sobriety milestone, sharing the honest turning point that forced him to quit and the quiet shame he carried before making the change.

Episode 380 - Draftin' & Sweepin' 04/27/2026

Episode 380 - Draftin' & Sweepin' RUNDOWN Mitch and Scott kick off Episode 380 bouncing from NFL Draft randomness to a suddenly red-hot Mariners team, while laying out a packed show of Seahawks, Mariners, and Kraken breakdowns. Along the way, Mitch zeroes in on John Schneider’s shift from “fancy” to predictable—and why that might actually be the secret sauce behind Seattle’s recent success. Seahawks flips four picks into eight and checks most of its boxes, but the first-round running back raises eyebrows—was it smart roster building or a forced move? Seahawks No-Table dig into Schneider’s “fairways and greens” approach, question the risk in the backfield, and spotlight key additions like Bud Clark while hinting that help at edge rusher is still coming. A sweep in St. Louis flips the vibe fast—suddenly the bats are alive, the lineup is producing, and Seattle looks like a real contender again. Mariners No-Table break down the surge from the big hitters, the rise of Cole Young as a legit everyday piece, and why this stretch could be the turning point—if they keep stacking wins against weaker opponents. The Kraken’s late-season free-fall gets real—what looked like a playoff team turns out to be smoke, mirrors, and unsustainable luck. Kraken No-Table dig into a fragile roster, mixed messaging from leadership, and a franchise stuck between rebuilding and pretending it’s close—setting up a pivotal, “prolific” offseason that could finally define a direction.

Episode 379 - Dan Wilson Bashing - Justified? 04/20/2026

Episode 379 - Dan Wilson Bashing - Justified? RUNDOWN Mitch and Scott bounce from absurd internet rabbit holes to surprisingly emotional territory, riffing on viral “energize your butthole” content before landing on AI-generated nostalgia videos that hit harder than expected. The segment blends humor with genuine reflection, as they react to how eerily real—and moving—these digital reunions of past and present selves have become. Mitch pushes back on the growing pile-on against Mariners manager Dan Wilson, arguing the outrage is wildly disproportionate to his actual impact. While acknowledging questionable in-game decisions, the real issue is clear: Seattle’s top hitters aren’t producing—and fans would rather scapegoat the manager than blame the stars they love. The Mariners show real offensive signs in a series win over Texas, highlighted by better at-bats, key contributions from role players, and a confidence-boosting early homer from Rob Refsnyder. The crew also dives into Julio Rodríguez’s slow-burn start, Luke Raley’s hot streak, and the critical importance of Andrés Muñoz stabilizing the bullpen as Seattle tries to grind out close games. Danny and Mitch break down the backlash from CBS’s shaky Masters broadcast and the rare cross-network shots taken by NBC’s Kevin Kisner. The conversation pivots into a deeper, more uncomfortable space—media ethics—using the Diana Russini–Mike Vrabel situation to expose the blurry lines between access, relationships, and credibility in modern sports journalism.

Episode 378 - Some Mariners & McIlroy Magic 04/13/2026

Episode 378 - Some Mariners & McIlroy Magic RUNDOWN Mitch comes in hot after getting a text from Hotshot admitting he had zero interest in watching The Masters — and the argument spirals from there. Its a classic Mitch vs. Hotshot clash: golf relevance, sports fandom standards, and “major” events. Plus, a brutal (and hilarious) birthday quiz that proves the vacation brain is very real. Mitch runs through Rory McIlroy making history with back-to-back wins at The Masters, putting himself in rare company and setting up a potential three-peat run. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners suddenly look alive — bats wake up after the Ichiro statue reveal, and a red-hot stretch has fans cautiously believing again, with top prospect Cade Anderson already flashing serious upside. Mariners No-Table break down a sudden offensive surge from Seattle — but stop short of calling it a full turnaround, pointing instead to plate discipline, weak Astros pitching, and small sample size. There’s cautious optimism around Julio Rodríguez heating up and the pitching depth holding, but real questions remain about the lineup, rotation decisions, and whether this is momentum… or just a blip. Mitch and Puck bounce from The Masters coverage to classic Augusta quirks — including strict no-phone rules and a wild story involving a pro getting tossed mid-interview. The conversation veers into golf grudges, media memories, and then fully off the rails with NFL-adjacent tabloid buzz.

Episode 377 - Azaleas, Baby.. Azaleas 04/06/2026

Episode 377 - Azaleas, Baby.. Azaleas RUNDOWN Brady Farkas steps into the co-host chair and tells the story of how a Seattle childhood, journalism roots, and a winding radio career turned into one of the most thoughtful Mariners voices out there. Mariners No-Table discuss Mariners dropping back-to-back series and looking flat doing it, with the middle of the order still underperforming and the offense lacking any real consistency. Injuries and weak fill-ins expose how thin the lineup is, but the bigger issue is failure on the basics—defense, situational hitting, and execution. Bob Harig breaks down the impossible balance between empathy and accountability with Tiger Woods’ latest incident, highlighting the toll of years of injuries and pain management. He also digs into the media’s role, the public exposure of Tiger’s lowest moments, and what this could mean for his future—both at Augusta and beyond. Mitch and Puck dive into the nostalgia and anticipation of Masters week, from iconic Jack Nicklaus moments to the quirks of broadcast tradition and coverage. But underneath it all, the conversation turns to Tiger Woods—less about golf now, more about a lifetime of pressure, pain, and a sense that something deeper has always been off. Verne Lundquist looks back on his final Masters with the same warmth and storytelling that defined his career—sharing behind-the-scenes moments, emotional goodbyes, and the iconic calls that made him a part of golf history. From Jack Nicklaus in ’86 to one last birdie call at 16, it’s a graceful exit from one of broadcasting’s all-time greats.

Episode 376 - The Good. The Bad. And the Heart of the Lineup 03/30/2026

Episode 376 - The Good. The Bad. And the Heart of the Lineup RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot open with a Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest following a car crash, debating addiction, accountability, and whether his injuries and surgeries contribute to a potential dependency on painkillers. The conversation mixes empathy with frustration, as they explore the limits of wealth, resources, and personal responsibility. Mitch and Hotshot kick around Final Four structure—including why reseeding will never happen—while also noting UConn’s dominance and the imbalance of the current bracket. They mix in lighter observations like Charles Barkley’s noticeable weight loss before turning to baseball, where the Mariners split their opening series despite historically poor production from the heart of the lineup. Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle after the Mariners open the season with a four-game split against Cleveland, despite getting almost nothing from the middle of the order. The conversation centers on slow starts from Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh, and Josh Naylor, while Brendan Donovan emerges as an early bright spot. The guys also debate mounting criticism of manager Dan Wilson’s bullpen and lineup decisions, assess encouraging signs from the starting rotation and Emerson Hancock’s standout outing, and look ahead to a critical stretch against the Yankees and Angels. Mitch and The Ringer’s Danny Kelly break down the upcoming NFL Draft, where uncertainty at the top—especially at quarterback—could lead to major movement. Kelly explains why this year’s QB class lacks a slam-dunk No. 1 pick, how team needs may outweigh pure talent evaluation, and which prospects could rise late in the process. Mitch joins Jason Puckett to dissect the art of interviewing—specifically why trying to be funny can backfire and why cell phone guests almost always kill timing, pacing, and chemistry. The conversation turns into a masterclass on radio fundamentals, with Mitch explaining his strict “no cell phone” philosophy and how production control separates good interviews from disasters. Along the way, he mixes in classic storytelling—from awkward guest moments to legendary encounters with Dean Smith and Vern Lundquist—highlighting both the craft and chaos of live radio.

Episode 375 - Unparalleled Mariners Anticipation 03/23/2026

Episode 375 - Unparalleled Mariners Anticipation RUNDOWN Mitch opens from Portland, where he spent the weekend with his son and attended NCAA Tournament games—including Gonzaga’s elimination, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The guys dive into what makes March Madness special, highlighted by a classic David vs. Goliath battle between Arkansas and High Point. Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle as the Mariners head into Opening Day with a surge of offensive production after a sluggish spring. The guys highlight breakout signs from Cole Young and Dom Canzone, while also addressing concerns around JP Crawford’s injury, Cal Raleigh’s uneven World Baseball Classic impact, and roster decisions in the infield and rotation. Mitch welcomes Steve Phillips for his annual Opening Day visit, where the longtime MLB insider says the World Baseball Classic has players—especially hitters—more game-ready than ever to start the season. Phillips is bullish on the Mariners, calling this their best opportunity to win the division and make a deep run, while also addressing concerns around pitching durability and bullpen volatility. The conversation expands league-wide, with Phillips explaining why the Dodgers are both dominant and good for baseball, why Shohei Ohtani remains a near-lock MVP, and ultimately predicting a Dodgers–Mariners World Series. Mitch and Puck open with some leftover tension from a previous discussion before diving into Mitch’s surprising admission that the World Baseball Classic didn’t resonate with him. Mitch explains that, despite the talent on the field, it doesn’t feel meaningful to the American baseball audience—pointing to player opt-outs and inconsistent participation.

Episode 374 - Seahawks Searching & Cinderellas Dancing 03/16/2026

Episode 374 - Seahawks Searching & Cinderellas Dancing RUNDOWN Mitch opens the show from Los Angeles, where he’s in town to watch Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs play the Clippers—but not before attending a Division II baseball series featuring players who grew up with his sons. The conversation shifts to March Madness, with Mitch explaining why he believes the top teams—especially from the Big 12—are clearly ahead of the rest of the field. The Seahawks No-Table crew breaks down a turbulent offseason following their Super Bowl win. The trio discusses key departures in free agency, the team’s deliberate approach to the salary cap, and why Seattle may rely on player development and the draft rather than splashy signings. Mitch talks with Tennessee State head coach Nolan Smith after the former Duke All-American and national champion led the Tigers to an Ohio Valley Conference title and an NCAA Tournament berth in his first year running the program. Smith reflects on learning the coaching profession under Mike Krzyzewski, navigating career setbacks after leaving Duke, and how those experiences shaped him as a leader. Mitch and Queens University head coach Grant Leonard talk after the Charlotte-based Royals captured the Atlantic Sun title and punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament in their first season eligible for Division I postseason play. Leonard explains how a balanced offense—with six players averaging double figures—helped fuel the run, while also discussing the reality of roster building in the transfer portal era. Mitch welcomes back North Dakota State head coach Dave Richman, whose Bison are headed to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time under his leadership after another Summit League title and a 27-win season. Richman talks about balancing loyalty to Fargo with the reality that successful mid-major coaches are constantly linked to bigger jobs, while also explaining how roster building has changed in the portal and NIL era. Mitch talks with Troy head coach Scott Cross after the Sun Belt regular-season and tournament champion Trojans earned their second straight NCAA Tournament berth. Cross explains how he rebuilt the roster after losing several starters to bigger NIL deals by promoting reserves who helped the program reach last year’s tournament.

Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back 03/09/2026

Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot react to the growing likelihood that the Seahawks could lose star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency, debating whether John Schneider’s reluctance to franchise tag him signals a different plan at running back. The conversation explores possible draft options, Seattle’s roster strategy after a Super Bowl season, and the risks of relying on a rookie backfield solution. Jason Hamilton joins Mitch to discuss his decision to step away after 24 years as the radio analyst for Washington Huskies basketball, reflecting on his journey from UW player to assistant coach to broadcaster. Hamilton explains how the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten dramatically changed the travel demands of the job, making it increasingly difficult to balance with his career and family life. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join Mitch to analyze the biggest storylines emerging from Mariners spring training, including the development of top prospects Colt Emerson, Cole Young, and Cade Anderson. The discussion covers roster realities heading toward Opening Day—why Emerson likely starts in the minors, how Brendan Donovan stabilizes the top of the lineup, and whether Brennan Davis could force his way into the outfield mix later in the season. RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers join Mitch to break down the Seattle Kraken’s precarious playoff positioning with 20 games remaining, describing the Pacific Division race as a “turtle derby” where nearly every contender is struggling. The trio discuss the team’s inconsistency, the addition of volume-shooting forward Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle’s contract extension, and the surprising resurgence of goaltender Philipp Grubauer.
