Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason, Anders Jorstad and Evan James are here for the Meet at the Mitt episode 29 on July 1st, 2023. The Mariners lost a big game last night, falling 15-4 to the juggernaut Tampa Bay Rays. Despite some smaller signs the offense is slowly, maybe even steadily improving, the team has continued to lose series. At 38-42, 4 games under .500 as the half point in the season approaches, the hour is late for a turnaround, what should the team do? DFAing Chris Flexen feels like the first domino to fall as the team looks forward, but more forward facing adjustments could be on the horizon.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason, Anders Jorstad and Evan James are here for the Meet at the Mitt episode 27 on June 25th. Anders and Zach break down their experience from the Mariners/Orioles contest yesterday where the team belted 4 home runs but ultimately fell 6-4 in extra innings.

We make ample time to praise Julio and his glorious return to the Home Run Derby at T Mobile Park. Lastly Anders and Evan each have a prospect of the week as the Minor League season reaches the halfway point and promotions are on the horizon. Shout out to our sponsor MacDougall bats!

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin and Evan James are here for Meet at the Mitt episode 28 on June 27th. The All Star Game in Seattle is fast approaching and despite the team being stuck at .500, celebration is in the air. With only two weeks to go before the midsummer classic, the Mariners are trying to shake off the latent inconsistency, heat up the bats and close out the half on a high note. This week we are joined by special guest and writer for “Eater.Seattle” Mark DeJoy to dive deep on the local food spots for the All Star festivities.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin ,Kate Preusser and Evan James are here for Meet at the Mitt episode 26 on June 22nd. The team dropped a gutsy start on Tuesday from George Kirby, who went 7 innings giving up three runs in a deeply cursed game against the New York Yankees. Back to back games against Lance Lynn and Gerrit Cole have left the Mariners offense on their back foot once again. With JP potentially going to the injured list, is Jarred the default all-star? Is anyone going to take pitches at this point? The offense appears to be bottoming out after a brief respite against the Miami Marlins, will the real Seattle Mariners please stand up?

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason, Anders Jorstad and Evan James are here for the Meet at the Mitt episode 25 on June 17th. Bryan Woo is the talk of the town after a blistering hot start last night against the feeble Chicago White Sox offense. Despite their best efforts not to score, the Mariners would finally do themselves some justice and rally late for a 3-2 victory. Everyone marvels at length about Woo’s shockingly dominant performance, regardless of opponent. Zach unveils some suggestions on ways to alter the dimensions of T Mobile Park to assist the struggling offenses. Anders is optimistic that a better offensive environment in T-Mobile Park might be a selling point to potential free agents. Lastly we convene with sympathies for the Oakland Athletics fans.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin ,Kate Preusser and Evan James are here for Meet at the Mitt episode 24 on June 14th. The team is back to .500 after winning their first series of the season against a “good” team in the Miami Marlins. Furthermore, the team wRC+ has slid comfortably into league average at a flat 100. Who could be traded off to help the cause? Who could be traded for? Is Mike Ford the answer at DH? Is Caballero the answer at 2B? Will regression strike the pitching staff?

Welcome to Meet at the Mitt Podcast episode 22 on June 7th 2023.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin, Kate Preusser and Evan James are back in business to fix the Mariners sub par offense. After a glorious win over the hapless Oakland Athletics last night, the Mariners have 9 games remaining in a long home stand to make some magic happen. We have come with a distinct plan of attack for each struggling hitter, so you may consider the problems with the offensive output, solved. Kate submits her resume to be the Mariners vibe coach and personally scout twitter for who has the best and most questionable content. Nobody thinks the Mariners extend Teoscar Hernandez, which is a deeply sad outcome, but there is a mixed bag of opinions on how the Mariners might move at the deadline. After a smattering of assorted Twitter questions from the faithful listeners, the gang wraps with a selection of Mariners players to perform a very specific heist with.

After a Kirby start where the mariners beat the tar out of the feeble Detroit Tigers, much optimism abounds.

Kate gives flowers to Taylor Saucedo and Juan Then for their impressive innings out of the pen.
