Lookout Landing

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason and Evan James are joined by staff writer Zach Gottschalk for the Meet at the Mitt episode 36 on July 20th. The Mariners won today behind a stellar 10 strikeout performance from George Kirby. While it’s nice to see a strong outing from the team, at a macro level the news is less pleasant. Jerry gave some very quote worthy bits on 710 this morning and there is much discussion reading both literally what was said and deeper between the lines. Jarred Kelenic’s MVP season hits the brakes after a broken foot. Where do we go from here? Shout out to our sponsor MacDougall bats!

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Kate Preusser, John Trupin and Evan James are back to basics for Meet at the Mitt episode 35. The Mariners have won the last two games: the finale against the Detroit Tigers and the opener against the Minnesota Twins respectively. With the Toronto Blue Jays coming into town this weekend the Mariners find themselves in position to strike against wild card rivals in the race for the post season. But it’s trade season! We talk about the possibility of trading for Shohei Ohtani, potential partners in the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox and even throw out some potential names to spice up the mix. Kate looks at what’s been eating Ty France as his roster spot has come under greater scrutiny as the bat has withered in 2023. We wrap as usual with a bevy of twitter questions on how to love the team despite the see saw ride, who could have the most meaningful breakout and why Jerry and Scott will be sticking around.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Zach Mason, Anders Jorstad and Evan James are here for the Meet at the Mitt episode 34 on July 16th. The Mariners have stumbled out of the break with consecutive losses to the Detroit Tigers, continuing some concerning offensive trends from the first half. The All Star Game was a treat for the home town and of course, the Home Run Derby was a great chance for Julio to shine on the big stage, but the job is not yet done. Trade talk abounds, prospects are promoted in the minors and everything keeps moving. We dig deep into the Shohei Ohtani discussion that is sweeping the nation and assess the Mariners chances at a generational start free agent. Shout out to our sponsor MacDougall bats!

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin, Kate Preusser and Evan James are here for Meet at the Mitt episode 30 on America’s birthday, July 4th 2023. The Mariners beat a plucky San Francisco Giants team behind another quality, impressive outing from rookie Bryan Woo, whose grandparents were there to see him dominate his hometown team. Next up, it’s mid-season awards time as the Mariners roll into the all-star break trying to float right at the .500 mark. Who has succeeded? Who needs to pick it up? How is the offense fairing lately? Who is the biggest surprise of early 2023? How are the minors fairing? The only way to be enlightened is to listen. Shout out to our sponsor MacDougall bats!

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. Despite the loss, the team’s offense has been on something of an upswing lately, can the run scoring continue? Is Camden Yards all it’s made out to be? 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. Mark wrote an article on the best bites at T Mobile Park so obviously we needed him to spill all the juicy details of the best grub at the game. Shout out to our sponsor MacDougall bats!

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?

After a close loss to the Los Angeles Angels last night at the hands of Shohei Ohtani, Zach looks at the free swinging cadre of the Mariners strikeout leaders: Teoscar, Julio, Eugenio and Jarred to assess the inconsistency. Next up, put expectations aside, what are you enjoying this year watching the Mariners? In the face of adversity we do believe optimism can be found in the youth and development.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! John Trupin is out in the wild, but Kate Preusser and Evan James are in studio with Nick Tucker after the dismantling of the San Diego Padres in game one at Petco Park. Welcome to Meet at the Mitt Podcast episode 22 on June 7th 2023. Two rough series against the hottest team in the league (New York Yankees) and maybe the best team (Texas Rangers) have left a sour taste, but a win always tastes good. Much discussion abounds regarding the offense or lack of it nearly half way through the season. However, there are silver linings: Bryce Miller developing through struggles, Bryan Woo getting a taste, maybe even a shot for Jake Scheiner? We wrap with a smattering of strong listener questions from Twitter on the immortal George Kirby and where DMO might play returning from the injured list.

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.
