We are back on a Friday, and I have to apologize for not being here on Tuesday. I lost my voice after a day of tailgating at the Seahawks-Patriots game and I share the stories from Foxboro.
Then, the M's are 78-75 and 2.0 games back of the wild card. We discuss the final nine games of the season, what we want to see and why this year has been so frustrating.
The Mariners also forgot how to run the bases over the last week. We discuss the TOOTBLANs against the Yankees and decide if Dan Wilson should take some blame for not having his guys prepared. And how much are people mad at Julio Rodriguez for it all?
Finally, congratulations are in order for a bunch of M's who made history this week. And hey, that Ohtani guy that the M's ignored in free agency is pretty good.
