Starkville | Jerry Dipoto’s Mariners Are Back On Track

from Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball

Nolan Ryan had "The Express," so what do we call Jacob Misiorowski’s heater? This week on Starkville, Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville brainstorm the perfect nickname for "The Miz’s" electric four-seamer. Then, Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto joins the show to talk about his short history pitching against Doug, his reputation as one of MLB's most prolific dealmakers, rising star Colt Emerson, and his Immaculate Grid strategy. Plus, he shares some incredible reflections on the legendary Ichiro Suzuki. To wrap it all up, Jayson and Doug head to Las Vegas for an explosive edition of Strange But True.Rundown:3:19 Nolan Ryan on Jacob Misiorowski15:17 Jerry Dipoto Visits Starkville16:00 Dipoto vs. Glanville18:27 The First Place Mariners20:17 The ‘Piggyback’ Strategy28:00 ‘Trader Jerry’35:15 Colt Emerson39:18 The Immaculate Grid45:07 Living a ‘Baseball Life’48:30 The Legend of Ichiro55:08 Strange But TrueFollow Jayson on Bluesky: @jaysonst.bsky.socialFollow Doug on Bluesky: @dougglanville.bsky.socialE-mail: [email protected] Hotline: (347) 313-8371Subscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Jayson Stark & Doug GlanvilleWith: Jerry DipotoProducer: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
