This is the only time I will ever tell people how/how not to fan...
Don't do this, ever.
Players don't want to struggle, it's okay to expect more but never to threaten them or their family, I am confident the vast majority of Mariner fans believe this as well.
Mitch Garver: "This is by far the worst I've ever played in my career. It's tough on myself, tough on my family. The death threats and the 'retire' and 'you suck' and '[expletive] kill yourself,' and all that [stuff], it's getting old. But the only way it changes is play better."
Coming up on last day of
#SeahawksCamp
and I am SO impressed with
@ShaquillG
on and off the field he’s looking like one of the best corners in the league, but also is always smiling and great with the
#12s
here are a couple great shots I got of him this camp!
It's a sad day at KJR, both Puck and Jim are people I always looked up to as a Seattle sports fan and it meant the world to me when Puck gave me a chance to work at this radio station. For that, I will be eternally grateful and they both will be dearly missed.
Joey Daccord has 2 career shutouts, both this year.
The two teams he's shut out?
The Stanley Cup Final Participants from last year (Florida and Vegas).
Big game player.

Monday:
“Your Mariners DH position has a WRC+ of -34…”
Yes you heard that right…on a stat where 100 is league average and 50 is 50% worse than league average, your Mariners Designated HITTERS have a weighted runs created+ of -34
What's good, Twitter! Got some news!
For the next 4 Saturdays here in August, ahead of the college football season, I'll be hosting "Saturday Sports Live" from 9-11am on
@933KJR
!
Bringing my good friend and fellow KJR Producer
@AndersHirst
alongside to ride shotgun. Let's rock!
MARINERS FANS! New Pod Alert!
Me and my man
@Rory_Brown15
are going to break down YOUR Seattle Mariners before and after each weekend series!
Talkin 'Ners with Rory and Ders is out!
Check it out:
Bryce Miller deservedly is the main storyline tonight as he dealt once again, and his massive improvement vs lefties huge.
But the more significant development is the noticeable change in approach from the entire lineup tonight...
JP getting some individual work in after team infield drills.
Scott mentioned that he is about to start his rehab stint, hopefully will join teams next road trip out east.
This is a big one, Sounders fans.
Hear
@JacksonBFelts
and I talk about the new signing from Argentina, the expectations of taking the
#10
jersey, and the impact we can expect him to make in 2024 in the latest episode of Sounders Weekly⬇️⬇️
.
@SoundersFC
made it official today, signing Argentine winger Pedro de la Vega as their new
#10
.
How and where does he fit into the club?
@JacksonBFelts
and
@AndersHirst
discuss on an emergency edition of Sounders Weekly!

Listen:
With the Paul Sewald trade happening during the recording of Ep 6 of Talkin Ners, we got treated to a raw reaction from
@nathan_h_b
to the deal.
He explains why he approves of the deal and how it does not mean the Mariners are "selling"
Dan Wilson?
What's our goal here? To get middle aged moms to go to the ballpark?
You have 2 experienced base coaches with rapport with the current crop of players, who are also bilingual (which I think is underrated) but you choose a current broadcaster cuz it's a name ppl know
@PuckKJR
@cougsgo
@933KJR
Batting third is none other than
@nathan_h_b
as he gives his fiery takes on the Dipoto press conference, the 2023 season as a whole, and how to move forward as an organization after this year.
Jerry Dipoto: "As we continue to work through this offseason with a goal of improving our team for 2024 and beyond, we believe the additions of Jackson Kowar and Cole Phillips, as well as the roster and payroll flexibility created tonight, will move us closer to that goal.”
Losing 3 of 4 to the ANGELS right before the all star break is...not ideal.
Not enough offense again, some weird bullpen decisions and the vibes are not great going into the break...
The Seattle Mariners getting outplayed in every facet of the game by the very worst team in baseball at home is fun.
But yea ignore all that and just imagine Luis Robert in a Mariners jersey...the front office that just put this putrid offense together will definitely do that...
They shouldn't need to clear payroll space though, this team was below average in payroll last year and the expectation was once you got a decent core that it would be supplemented with established veterans, not replaced by them...
The only way this trade makes any sense is if the vacuum of payroll space cleared is then filled by an established player acquired via trade who carries a hefty salary, or a free agent that would need to be paid an exorbitant amount to come to Seattle.
On this National Championship Monday,
@ChuckPowellKJR
and I break down the latest two Mariners moves as Mitch Haniger is coming back but Robbie Ray is gone.
What are your thoughts on the two trades?
Listen to the full episode of "Stove" here:
Mariner Fans: we got some weekend listening for ya!
The latest episode of "Stove" is out now with
@ChuckPowellKJR
and I and we discuss:
-Shohei update
-More Suarez trade reaction
-Blake Snell
And much more!
Can't tell if this game is more Marinersy or Seahawky.
Maybe both?
Getting dominated by a far inferior team for 90% of the game and expecting craziness to happen and somehow pulling out a win.
"Can you win a game in the first quarter/inning?..."
Many might think this is a funny coincidence that the Ms winning % is exactly 54%, but that's exactly why Jerry chose this #, it wasn't random, classic example of moving the goalposts to make it seem like the team has met their goal...
One Last "Stove" podcast for this off-season, and this time, the always knowledgeable
@luke_arkins
joins
@ChuckPowellKJR
and I to wrap up the off-season, talk about the Ohtani situation, give some predictions and much more.
Take a listen here:
Castillo's day is done after a 2 out single by Rocchio...just doesn't seem to have the same sinking action on his 2-seamer lately, combined with the changeup not working like it usually does...relying an awful lot on his 4-seamer to get outs.
@933KJR
And there it is, the Kraken have been shut out by the San Jose Sharks ahead of the All Star break...
1st shutout for San Jose this season...just a pathetic, putrid performance by the boys tonight.
Luis Castillo has made 7 consecutive starts of 6.0+ IP while allowing 2-or-fewer ER.
It's the longest such streak in
@MLB
this season and longest by a
@Mariners
pitcher since James Paxton (7 GS, 7/2-8/4/2017).
New Mariners Weekly!
@dickfain
is gracious enough to join me and we discuss:
-Orioles and Yankees series.
-Julio getting moved down the lineup.
-Trade targets.
And much more!
We’re doing something a little different with Talkin Ners to wrap up the 2023 Mariners season.
We’re going to react individually with each KJR Host and producer on both the 2023 season and, inevitably, the end of season press conference…
A new episode of Mariners Weekly is LIVE!
@ChuckPowellKJR
joins me again as we talk about our MVP a quarter of the way through the season.
Who's your Mariners MVP so far this season?
@utdreport
When we tried to play Pogba and mctominay against crystal palace Pogba was BABYSITTING mctominay defensively, he has a lot of promise but is far from an every week starter, matic is still more effective at this point in time, I still rate mcsauce over Fred tho
Really appreciate

Know it was mentioned on-air today, but for the Twitter crowd...
Massively pumped to make my play-by-play announcing debut this Saturday on

@PuckKJR
John Stanton taking notes...love being both a man utd and Mariners fan 🙃 two worst franchises in the world when it comes to caring about money more than winning.
A much more patient approach at the plate for the Mariners tonight and it's yielding results: Wicks has 44 pitches through two innings.
Keep the line moving boys.
1-0 Mariners through 2.
Does Servais last the trade deadline if this continues?
Personally don't think anything changes with a managerial change but it's the next domino to fall...
ICYMI:
@ChuckPowellKJR
and I broke down and reacted to the Eugenio Suarez trade on the Stove podcast earlier this week.
What does this mean for the rest of this off-season? Can we make any conclusions yet?
Listen here:
Make no mistake, this Suarez trade is a cut payroll move and nothing else. Getting close to nothing back for a big clubhouse presence and a guy who plays golf glove 3B and plays every day is...a choice

I like the more depressed side of him as well, but that is only because of his failure in the prequels, I think this version of him actually makes the prequel version a lot more understandable and gives him more depth.

This has been a huge concern of mine. Mariners will have no choice but to trade elite starting pitching for offense because A) they don't want to pay everyone and B) they can't develop hitters.
This video making the rounds today. A man trying to testify before the
@SeattleCouncil
gets the red carpet treatment! Not. He gets completely ignored, per what's becoming pretty typical.
