Former Mariners pitcher, and current ROOT SPORTS analyst, Ryan Rowland-Smith returns from his travels to talk to Dave and Bob about the Mariners losing a massive lead, and the game, to the Royals and describes the psychology of how something like that can happen. Rowland-Smith also breaks down the challenges the pitching staff has faced lately and talks about why teams with poor records are so motivated to beat good ones. Later, Dave and Bob discuss Quandre Diggs's comments about the Seahawks defense and how they bounce back from the loss to the Falcons.
