Episode 394 - I'm Begging, Make It Stop!

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 394 debating whether Dan Wilson should survive the Mariners' brutal collapse. They revisit Seattle's 50th-season celebration, including Alex Rodriguez's reception and emotional moments with Lou Piniella and Rick Rizzs, then review the Seahawks' Hard Knocks debut before wrapping with birthday trivia. Thoughts on Dan Wilson? Mitch, Brady, and Joe debate whether a managerial change could provide one last jolt, consider Michael Arroyo and other prospects for offensive help, praise Cole Young's breakout season, and question several selections from the Mariners' 50th-season celebration. And yes, there's more Dan Wilson. Former Mets GM Steve Phillips offers the front-office perspective before turning to Seattle's shrinking pitching window, George Kirby and Emerson Hancock as potential offseason trade chips, Kade Anderson's role and Cal Raleigh's stunning regression. Somehow, Steve still sees a path to a late-season Mariners run. Mitch and Danny review the Seahawks' Hard Knocks debut and whether the massive fan reaction matched the episode itself. They debate how cameras inevitably alter behavior, prompting Mitch to recall why he once refused to put his KJR radio show on television.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Steve Phillips | Former New York Mets GM / MLB Network Radio Danny O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch and Hotshot Scott: Mariners Misery, Hard Knocks and Birthday Trivia 29:27 | Mariners No-Table: Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle on Dan Wilson's Future and a Mariners Season on the Brink 1:03:08 | Steve Phillips: Dan Wilson's Future, Seattle's Pitching Window and One Last Mariners Run 1:20:54 | Danny O'Neil: Hard Knocks, Seahawks Swagger and the Camera Effect 1:39:10 | Other Stuff: Johnston County Little League wins the 2026 Little League Softball World Series, Trent Williams sued over unpaid Porsche lease payments, Seahawks preseason begins against the Cowboys, Jadarian Price sidelined by a leg injury, Kyle Shanahan says Tesla Autopilot was engaged before his crash, Costco selling discounted Washington Huskies football ticket packages, Jacob Misiorowski becomes the second-fastest pitcher to 200 strikeouts, Tommy John enters hospice care, Brandon Clarke's death ruled an accidental drug overdose, Roger Craig reveals vascular dementia diagnosis during Hall of Fame induction.
