It's Groundhog Day all over again with the Mariners and nothing seems to be changing. At what point do we actually root against the team? It doesn't sound like they're ready to get rid of Jerry Dipoto or sell the team. So, what needs to happen for things to change?  The Seahawks are an example of a team that doesn't stay complacent, as evidenced by the firing of Pete Carroll. Early indications are positive for this season. We take a listen to Jarran Reed and Tyler Lockett, as they spoke to the media yesterday. What does this team really look like?

T-Mobile Park may be deterring hitters from joining the club. Ty France joined Heidi following the trade with only good things to say about the city but maybe a bit too much information from the analytics group.

The Mariners have a soft schedule coming up but are still in a bad spot with Houston 4 games up and multiple teams to jump in the Wild Card race. 

Danny O’Neil, The Dang Apostrophe!, joins the show to discuss the Mariners. The team is 4-2 under Dan Wilson, and runs per game have increased. Many of which came in a single game but take what we can get. How are the Mariners under .500 this season with Logan Gilbert on the mound? We touch on the systemic issues that seem to be within the Mariners’ organization and fans looking to move on from not only Jerry Dipoto and ownership. Danny says ownership is the teams biggest downfall and has kept them from success on the field. Does it mean something that Scott Servais did not mention Dipoto in his good bye statement? 

The city continues to sour on the Mariners “leadership”. However, one thing we know if that winning can cure all.

EMERGENCY MOLLYWHOP! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop give their initial reactions to the Mariners' reported firing of Scott Servais. Crawford thinks they're replacing him with Dan Wilson to do everything they can to keep people coming to the ballpark, while failing. Nathan agrees and doesn't know how we can even fairly evaluate Servais in the circumstances in which he's operated. Chris and Nathan remain with us to react to Dan Wilson taking over for the Mariners, and Chris is surprised they didn't go with Manny Acta or Kristopher Negron. This just points to keeping butts in seats. Nathan is watching other moves being made, as in Edgar Martinez joining the staff. These moves are clearly being made over Jerry Dipoto's head.
