Episodes
Will Vest DFA'ed? Yep, Will Vest DFA'ed
July 13, 2021 22:30 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBIn what D.C. thought was a very bizarre roster move, the Mariners designated pitcher Will Vest for assignment the other day. D.C. explains why he thought the move was bizarre, and talks about who he thought would have been the next to go if a 40-man roster spot needed to be cleared. With Cal Raleigh's call up to the Mariners over the weekend, the M's now have three catchers on the roster... or do they? D.C. explains what Mr. Raleigh's promotion might mean for Luis Torrens. Also, this is epis...
Mariners Clip the Angels' Wings
July 12, 2021 22:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBIt was a pretty good weekend of Mariners baseball. Not perfect, of course, but they did take two of three games against the Los Angeles Angels. D.C. talks about all three games, including another gem from Chris Flexen on Saturday, and Cal Raleigh's first big league game on Sunday. D.C. spends some times diving into Mr. Flexen's numbers, and also highlights David Fletcher, one of his favorite players, who had a fantastic series in Seattle. Learn more about your ad choices.

Logan Gilbert, Shortened No-Hitters, and the Negro Leagues
July 09, 2021 22:30 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBJon Miller guest hosts today's episode, and he's joined by Locked On Anaheim Ducks host Jason Hernandez. The two of them are still abuzz about Logan Gilbert's stellar outing against the Yankees from the previous afternoon, so the two of them talk about their impressions of how the young right-hander did. They also talk about some of the more disappointing teams around the league, and ponder whether or not the Cubs will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. A discussion on shortened no-hitter...
Logan Gilbert Has Arrived!
July 08, 2021 23:30 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBTwo games to talk about on today's episode. D.C. begins with yesterday's game, which was not a Mariners victory. Yusei Kikuchi struggled through the first couple innings, but then settled down. In the second segment, Locked On Mariners contributor Jon Miller joins D.C. to talk a little bit about Justus Sheffield, as it's been revealed that he's not only dealing with arm trouble, but also an oblique strain. Finally, D.C. talks about Logan Gilbert's spectacular performance this afternoon again...
Sheff's Struggles Continue
July 07, 2021 20:00 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBJustus Sheffield once again did not have it last night against the Yankees. D.C. and Locked On Yankees host Stacey Gotsulias discuss last night's blowout Mariner loss. (Or Yankee win, depending on your perspective.) Stacey offers some insight as to how the Yankees have been faring this season, highlighting the two starting pitchers who'll be opposing the M's over the course of the next two days, as well as the bullpen and Yankee offense.

Mariners Win Weird Series vs. Rangers
July 05, 2021 22:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBThe first game was a cheap extra-inning win, the second game was a blowout, and the third a nice, quick two-and-a-half hour victory. D.C. talks about all three games of the Rangers series on this "Catch-Up Monday" edition of Locked On Mariners. He ends with some calculations of what some 2021 Mariner batting averages might look like under last year's conditions, and conditions five years ago. Learn more about your ad choices.

M's Take Two of Three in Buffalo
July 02, 2021 21:00 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBLocked On Mariners Contributor Jon Miller guest hosts today's episode, and he has two Mariner wins to talk about. He runs down both wins in Buffalo against the Toronto/Buffalo Blue Jays, on extra-inning victory, and a semi-blowout. He then sets up the pitching match-ups for the upcoming series against the Rangers in Seattle, and ends the show with another story about his umpiring days. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hector Santiago's Sticky Situation: Part II
June 30, 2021 21:30 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBD.C. was rather salty in this episode at times. Maybe it's the heat. In any case, the Mariners got blown out by the Toronto/Buffalo Blue Jays yesterday afternoon, but that's not the lead story. Hector Santiago was suspended 10 games by Major League Baseball for using an illegal glove. D.C. reacts, and he's not very pleased. He also wasn't pleased by what the bullpen did yesterday, and one certain relief pitcher has earned his ire. D.C. goes off Rafael Montero in the final segment of the day....
Preview of the Upcoming Series With the Blue Jays with a Very Lame Title
June 29, 2021 21:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBWhile it may be cooling off in the Puget Sound region, in the Inland Northwest, it's supposed to be hotter today than yesterday. (In fact, Spokane is supposed to set an all-time record for highest ever temperature.) So D.C. is a little out of it today because of the heat, leading to the unimaginative episode title. But at least it says what happens in the show. D.C. does go over the numbers of the Toronto Blue Jays (or "Buffalo Blue Jays?"), as they begin a three-game series against the Mari...
Hector Santiago's Sticky Situation
June 28, 2021 21:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBIt was a weird weekend of Mariners baseball, highlighted by Hector Santiago's ejection upon being removed from the first game on Sunday. D.C. talks about this ejection, what the umpires found, possible ramifications, and talks about what Mr. Santiago and Scott Servais said in post-game press conferences. The rest of the series was surrounded by weirdness, as well, including the delayed start to Saturday's game, and its eventual suspension until Sunday morning. D.C. talks about the three game...
Dodger Blues: No-Hitter Edition
June 25, 2021 21:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MBD.C. had already scheduled Dodger fans Jon Miller and Jason Hernandez to appear on today's program, and then the Dodgers wind up getting no-hit by the Cubs last night. The three gentlemen discuss last night's historic, record-tying 7th no-hitter of the season -- which none of them remembered to mention on the air. The discussion of foreign substances continues, as well, sparked by an incident in which Joe Girardi requested Max Scherzer be checked twice in one inning. The trio discuss this in...
Potential Peak Years, Ejections, and Flan
June 24, 2021 22:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBJon Miller joins D.C. to dive into the fan mailbag, where they field questions on many different subjects. When do the two of them think the Mariners will finally be ready to compete in the American League West? What does a normal day look like for D.C.? And most importantly, what did he find on his quest to find the perfect flan recipe? Also, it appears as if at least one listener is not a fan of Clive Braithwaite IV. Jon ends the show with a couple more umpiring stories, including a story ...
Mariners Were Flexen Their Muscles/Justus Didn't Prevail
June 24, 2021 01:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MBTwo games to discuss today on Locked On Mariners. First, last night's great pitching match-up between Chris Flexen and Kyle Freeland, in which the M's had the upper hand, albeit slightly. Shed Long Jr. did his thing again, hitting the go=ahead home run in the 8th inning. This afternoon's game did not go as well, as Justus Sheffield again struggled with the feel for his secondary pitches, and command of all of them. D.C. talks about both games, and then goes on another rant about modern-day b...
Brooms Up! Mariners See Rays of Hope
June 23, 2021 00:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBThe Mariners earn another four-game sweep, and D.C. isn't here to celebrate by saying "brooms up." Instead, Clive Braithwaite IV fills in for him, and he talks about the pitching and the offense in the four-game series sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays. The M's put together a few big innings, including two grand slam home runs. One Mariner who struggled last year is off to a pretty good start this year, and Clive talks about him, as well as some other Mariner hitters. He also highlights one player...
Mariners Come Back to Win in the Bottom of the 9th
June 19, 2021 00:00 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBLocked On Mariners Contributor Jon Miller is given the reigns for this episode, and he lucks out by getting to talk about a very exciting come-from-behind victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Jon talks about the game, which wasn't all good; starter Justin Dunn had to leave the game early. Jon then talks about the pitching match ups for the remaining three games of the series, and also discusses a very unusual triple play, which was a Major League Baseball first. Learn more about your ad choices...
Sweepless In Seattle
June 18, 2021 01:15 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBThe Twins salvaged the final game of the three-game series in Seattle by jumping all over starting pitcher Justus Sheffield. D.C. talks about Sheff's performance, and also another weak day for the offense. Shifting gears in the next segment, Locked On Mariners Contributor Jon Miller joins D.C. to talk about expanded playoffs. Not entirely about last year's expanded playoffs, or proposed plans for the near future, but the 1994 playoff structure, and a little history on when and why playoffs h...
Flexen Fuel
June 17, 2021 02:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBYes, the Mariners were certainly "Flexen" their muscles last night, eh? Anyways... The Mariners did crush the Twins last night, every aspect was on point, not the least of which was starter Chris Flexen. D.C. talks about the right-hander's best game as a Major Leaguer, and also about the offensive explosion, including big nights from about half the starting lineup. It was announced yesterday that Major League Baseball would officially begin cracking down on pitchers using foreign substances ...
Mitch Haniger's Knee Contusion, Et Al
June 16, 2021 01:45 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBFailing to come up with a clever title for today's program, D.C. leads off the program with an update on Mitch Haniger. With two men named Jake (Fraley & Bauers) filling the void quite well at this time, Taylor Trammell patrolling center field, and also with the Mariners not in contention this year, does all this point to Maniger being traded? Several members of the media think so, but D.C. disagrees, and he explains why he thinks Maniger will remain a Mariner. There are also roster notes ap...
Doctor, Doctor Give Me the News
June 11, 2021 21:00 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MBJonathan Miller guest hosts today's episode, and he's joined by Locked On Anaheim Ducks host Jason Hernandez. The two of them discuss one of the contemporary hot button issues in baseball: pitchers' [alleged] use of foreign substances. The two of them talk about how this might impact accused pitchers' legacies, and Jon talks about how and when umpires are allowed to check pitchers for anything that could doctor baseballs. The two of them then discuss some of the more bizarre plays that have ...
Ace Fraley Flies High Again
June 11, 2021 01:15 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBWednesday night's game was certainly one of the most memorable games thus far, and a prime reason for that is Mr. Jake Fraley. D.C. talks about this fun game -- fun despite it being an extra-inning game -- and talks about the exploits of Mr. Fraley. In addition, this was the first Major League game for Dillon Thomas, who had been in the minor leagues for almost a decade. And while he did go 1-5, he impacted the game with his glove, and his one hit was crucial. Ace Fraley also had a good game...
Has J.P. Crawford Turned the Corner?
June 09, 2021 22:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBIs this the first time an episode of Locked On Mariners has been titled with a direct question? I don't remember... Anyways, one of the bright spots in yesterday's loss in Detroit was shortstop J.P. Crawford. He's been coming on strong lately, and D.C. dives into his numbers to illustrate how much better his offense has been lately. Taylor Trammell has also been doing much better since his recall, and D.C. looks into his stats as well. As for the game, it was frustrating for multiple reasons...
More Umpiring Talk With Jonathan Miller
June 08, 2021 19:05 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBThe title says it all. Jonathan Miller is back to talk about umpiring again. He and D.C. talk about pitch framing a little bit, the differences between minor league and Major League umpiring, and also a little bit about how umpires are trained. Prior to that discussion, however, there were some notable roster moves made by the Mariners. Chiefly, Jarred Kelenic's demotion to AAA Tacoma. However Shed Long Jr. is back, and the Mariners also called up a minor league veteran who will be making hi...
M's Split Series in Anaheim; Jake Fraley Comes Up Aces
June 07, 2021 22:30 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBThe Mariners lost two of three over the weekend to the Los Angeles/Anaheim/California Angels to split the four-game series. Southern California's Jason Hernandez, who covers a different Anaheim team for the Locked On Podcast Network, joins D.C. to talk about the final three games of the series. Jake Fraley put together a good piece of hitting and was rewarded with a grand slam, and J.P. Crawford proved he's more than a slap hitter. Both teams had bullpen problems, which cost the Mariners on ...
Ace Fraley: No Trouble Walking
June 04, 2021 23:30 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBJustus prevailed in Anaheim last night, as the Mariners won 6-2. D.C. talks about the game, including Justus Sheffield's semi-rocky evening, the M's offense getting it done in the middle innings, and Jake Fraley drawing lots of walks. Again. D.C. then dives into Ace's numbers a bit, and the difference between his on base percentage and batting average is almost laughable. He compares Ace's stats to a player from around 30 years ago who was known for drawing lots of walks. In the second and t...
One Inning Costs Flexen, But Mariners Can't Score Anyway
June 03, 2021 23:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBChris Flexen was one poor inning away from tossing another very good game. But even with that bad inning, the Mariners couldn't scratch any runs across, so it made little difference in terms of a W or an L. D.C. talks about the game, and then dives into the offensive numbers of several Mariners hitters. Some are starting to come around, some aren't, and a couple have been pretty consistent all season. He then complains some recent defensive alignments, which had an excellent second baseman p...
Afternoon Delight
June 02, 2021 22:30 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBIn the first regular afternoon episode of this show, D.C. goes over the previous two Mariner games -- one a fun win, the other an embarrassing loss. He's then joined by Jonathan Miller and Clive Braithwaite IV for two Mailbag segments. Questions include a question about the physicality of umpires, the future of the minor league system, and a comment on one fan's preference to see the Everett AquaSox instead of the Mariners while in town.

Brooms Up! Mariners Earn First Sweep of 2021
May 31, 2021 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBThe Mariners' first sweep of the season was of the four-game variety. D.C. talks about all four games on Catch-Up Monday. Sunday's game particularly pleased him, and Ty France looks like he's back to himself, as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Number Crunchers
May 27, 2021 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBFailing to come up with anything interesting to say about yesterday's loss to Oakland, D.C. spends the entirety of B block diving in to the Mariners' offensive numbers to try to see exactly what the heck is going on. It's mostly the same group of hitters as we saw last year, yet they're not doing nearly as well. He comes up with a couple answers, but it still doesn't explain everything. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
The Host Has No Imagination
May 26, 2021 13:00 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MBNo, D.C. couldn't come up with an adequate title for today's show. But on this particular episode, we feature the remainder of the conversation he had with Jason Burke of Locked On A's about the Mariners and Athletic. This portion of the conversation focuses on the Mariners. Jason likes the Mariners, and was excited to learn that they were slumping horribly prior to the first game of the series. (Which the Mariners won.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
M's Snap Losing Streak... In Oakland?!
May 25, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MBHaving been swept in the last two series, the Mariners headed to Oakland, where they have perennially had problems. Such was not the case last night. Guest host Taylor Blake Ward takes you through the M"s 4-2 victory, and then discusses the Seattle Mariners from a national perspective. There's a shortstop currently playing in the M's minor league system for the Modesto Nuts with whom Taylor is very impressed, and that would be Noelvi Marte. Taylor gives his impressions in Mr. Marte, and talk...
M's Are Lousy; Everyone Goes on the IL
May 24, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 28.6 MBNot only are the Mariners playing poorly, but their problems with the injured list continue. D.C. talks about the three-game series in San Diego against the Padres. It was an uninteresting series for the most part, aside from Mariner sluggers Justus Sheffield and Justin Dunn getting it done on offense. Yes, that's right, the pitchers can hit, but the hitters can't. D.C. is not thrilled with the state of the team, to say the least, although there was some bad luck involved in Sunday's game, i...
No-Hitter Blues, Protection Lists, and Anti-Curling
May 21, 2021 13:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBThere was quite a bit of roster shuffling yesterday in Mariner-land. D.C. talks about the comings and goings before opening up the fan mailbag with Clive Braithwaite IV and Jonathan Miller. D.C. & Jon talk about the Mariner offense following two no-hitters (though the email was sent to the show after the first one), and also discuss which players in the M's organization they'd protect in a potential expansion draft. Also, D.C. re-starts a project he talked about last Fall. Learn more about ...
Mariners Squander Scoring Opportunities
May 20, 2021 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBWhich is worse: Getting no-hit, or having men on base in multiple innings yet only taking advantage in one of them? D.C. talks about last night's frustrating game; this is the most frustrated he's been on the air in a while. Logan Gilbert's second big league start wasn't good, either, but he did have a good first inning. D.C. talks about that as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
M's Get No-Hit For the Second Time in Two Weeks While the Host Fails to Come Up With a Clever Title
May 19, 2021 13:00 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MBYes, gang, the Mariners have been no-hit twice now, this season. D.C. talks about last night's game -- a gem turned in by Spencer Turnbull. Justin Dunn looked good for much of the game, but a couple things here and there spoiled his outing. As did the bullpen, who gave up three runs, and catcher Luis Torrens', whose poor defensive play may have led to another Tiger run. D.C. crunches some numbers to find out how worse than the average Major League catcher Torrens has been this year in regard...
Casey Mize Facilitates the Mariners' Demise
May 18, 2021 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MBYes, that's unfortunately the best pun I could come up with. But Casey Mize spun 7,2 great innings against the Mariners last night. D.C. talks about his performance, and why he thinks his already good fastball looks may look faster than it really is. Yusei Kikuchi started slowly, but wound up pitching well for most of the game, but the story of the day was too much Mr. Mize. There's an updated to Marco Gonzales' rehab, and D.C. has some kind words to say about now-former Mariner Braden Bisho...
Moore Offensive Output
May 17, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBThe Mariners took the final three games of the four-game series over the weekend against the Cleveland Indians. Dylan Moore looks to have found his stroke and his timing, and his numbers have much improved over the previous few weeks. D.C. talks about Moore's improvement, and the improved offense at large. In addition, the bullpen had a much better series following a really bad road trip. D.C. dives into some pitching numbers, along with some offensive numbers. Learn more about your ad choi...
Back to the Future: Part II & III
May 14, 2021 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MBBoth Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert made their Major League debuts last night. How'd they do? If you want to know, listen to Locked On Indians. Just kidding. D.C. talks about both players' performances in depth in the second and third segments, and goes over the bulk of the game in the first segment. He talks a little about Luis Torrens' defense behind the plate, which he's not a fan of. On the bright side, the bullpen did well for the first time in several days. Learn more about your ad ...
Back to the Future
May 13, 2021 14:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBYes, there was a Mariners game last night, but that's not the main topic of discussion on today's episode. Not only was the game awful, but there is much more important Mariner news: Two highly-touted prospects will be making their Major League debuts tonight! Both Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert will play their first big league game. D.C. talks about the two young men, dives into their minor league numbers a bit, and also talks about possible roster moves which will be necessary to not onl...
Kikuchi-san Great, Bullpen Not So Much
May 12, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBYusei Kikuchi turned in another great performance prior to tiring out in the 7th inning. Unfortunately, the bullpen couldn't hold the lead the M's had built, and Rafael Montero wound up with his 5th blown save already. D.C. talks about last night's game, Kikichi-san's performance, as well as the two relievers', and also explains why he didn't think the Mariner offense was very good despite scoring four runs. The M's have a new minor league catcher, and there are injury updates aplenty. D.C. ...
M's Fall Flat In Texas, But Team USA Impressive In Calgary
May 10, 2021 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBWhile the Mariners were busy stinking up the new Ballpark in Arlington (or whatever it's actually called), Team USA was winning a bronze medal at the World Women's Curling Championship. But since this is Locked On Mariners and not Locked On USA Curling, D.C. talks about the three-game series against the Rangers in the first two segments. The first game was a win, and the offense showed signs of breaking out of its slump, but the next two games were sloppy. And Sunday's was a disaster. But D....
Talking Prospects on an Episode With a Generic, Uninspired Title
May 07, 2021 20:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBTaylor Blake Ward is back on the program, and today he talks about a number of the Seattle Mariners' prospects who are in the minor leagues. Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rodriguez, and young hurlers Logan Gilbert, George Kirby & Emerson Hancock are among those discussed. In addition, the he and D.C. talk a little bit about Albert Pujols at the end of the show and share their memories of Mr. Pujols from when they were growing up. Finally, Mr. Ward brings up another player from the 90s with a Mariner...
A Minor Episode
May 06, 2021 23:00 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBWith the minor league season starting this week, D.C. and Locked On Mariners Contributor Jon Miller talk about minor league ball. D.C. attended the Spokane Indians home opener last Tuesday, and be briefly talks about that. Jon talks about some of the players he remembered watching as Tacoma Rainiers, some of whom went on to big league success, and some of whom didn't. Shane Monahan, Greg Pirkl, and Jim Bonnici are three names that are specifically brought up. The two of them also talk about ...
Ends Justify the Means
May 06, 2021 01:30 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBJohn Means no-hit the Seattle Mariners today. It was a brilliant pitching performance. D.C. talks about the game, and also serves up some no-hitter trivia, both regarding the Mariners and Baltimore Orioles; there are some strange coincidences regarding the last three no-hitters thrown in Seattle, including this afternoon's. Connor Newcomb from Locked On Orioles talks about John Means in the third segment, and also about his mastery on the mound. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podca...
Bullpen Mostly a Hit, Offense Mostly a Miss
May 04, 2021 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBDespite having to utilize the bullpen for the entire game yesterday, the staff did a very good job, by and large. (The 8th inning aside, of course.) D.C. talks about the game, which for him speaks more about the lack of offense than it did one bad inning from the bullpen. The minor league season starts today, and D.C. offers a quick preview of the two local minor league teams, the AAA Tacoma Rainiers and the A+ Everett AquaSox. (And of course HIS hometown Spokane Indians.) Learn more about ...
Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
May 03, 2021 13:00 - 22 minutes - 21 MBThe Mariners did take two of three games over the weekend against the Angels. D.C. talks about all three games, including Saturday's disastrous outing from Ljay Newsome, and Sunday's pitcher's duel. He also breaks down Jacob Nottingham's very brief and very odd tenure with the M's organization. In C block, D.C. offers some grand slam trivia on the anniversary of Dan Wilson's inside-the-park salami against the Tigers in the Kingdome. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com...
菊池さんすげい！
May 01, 2021 00:30 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBYūsei Kikuchi was amazing yesterday in Houston. D.C. talks about his performance, but still finds something to complain about. (Not in Kikuchi-san's performance, but the fact that he was removed after seven innings and 95 pitches.) D.C. also talks about why his first couple seasons with the Mariners may have been largely unsuccessful, versus what we saw out of him yesterday. There's more injury news, unfortunately, but also a preview of the upcoming three-game series against the Los Angeles ...
Bats Come Alive Against Greinke, Bullpen Gives it Away
April 29, 2021 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBThis was not a typical 2021 Mariner loss. The offense was able to get to Zack Greinke -- who utterly dominated the M's the last time he faced them -- but the bullpen was the problem in this one. D.C. talks about this game, and also the unfortunate injury news that's come out in the last couple days. The Mariners have added two players to its organization via waiver claims, and D.C. tells you about these two players, an infielder and a catcher. To close out the show, Clive Braithwaite IV join...
Offense Grinds to a Halt
April 28, 2021 13:00 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBThe Mariners turned in two pretty poor offensive performances on Monday and Tuesday; D.C. recaps both games, the second of which was pretty well pitched by Marco Gonzales. This was the second start of his in succession that the M's offense didn't support him. Specific players are struggling, including Dylan Moore and Jose Marmolejos. D.C. also revisits the topic of catching on one knee with runners on base in C block, then ends the show speaking about the notion of expanding to 32 Major Leag...
Telegram Sam, You're My Main Man
April 26, 2021 13:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBTelegram Sam Haggerty sure had himself a great series, so D.C. talks about his exploits throughout the entire episode while referencing the song from which D.C. gave Mr. Haggerty his nickname. (D.C. also is assuming that Mr. Haggerty has never heard this particular song before.) Anyways, the Red Sox took two of three from the Mariners over the weekend, though there were some very good performances by the M's. Most impressive was Chris Flexen on Saturday, who turned in his best start of the s...
M's Win a Wild One in Fenway
April 23, 2021 18:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBGenerally when a team records only three base hits, they don't win. And they generally don't score seven runs. But that's what the Mariners did on Thursday, taking advantage of several bases on balls issued by Red Sox pitching, and also a key error in the 8th inning. D.C. talks about this strange game, and also sets you up for the upcoming three weekend games in Boston. There was an even more bizarre game on Wednesday between the Twins and Athletics in Oakland. D.C. speaks about the end of t...
