The Mariners broadcast is a disaster right now, but sometimes things go wrong. Who will the fans blame? M's lose and drop 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh. Chris Crawford, My oh Why joins Ian to talk about the Mariners' dismal performance as of late. What is going wrong? Injuries do play a part, but they're hardly the sole reason for the struggles. Chris Crawford sticks with us to talk about Major League Baseball’s latest proposal to the Major League Baseball Player’s Association contains a limit for max contract length. Chris breaks down what it means. The cap isn't the issue, it's the floor. The Mariners were a combined 2-20 with RISP their last two games and have become way to homerun reliant. Bryan Woo cannot pitch effectively on the road. Bigger picture, MLB's proposal to limit max contracts and what's next with the salary cap could see a work stoppage. Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Ian to tell us what's going on with the Mariners pitching staff right now and what happens to aging arms. He also dives into the new MLBPA proposal for contract limitations, as well as a new salary cap PLUS a floor. Eno doesn't think it's a very serious proposal.  Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny shares his experience through the World Cup so far. Ian brings up the fact that sports bring people together, and this event does it on a global level. Danny says it's awesome to have harmless, guilt free enthusiasm in sports fandom. The guys discuss coaches who ruined their programs in the past and what little remorse some of them have shown. Did you know there's an app for that? We check your talkbacks and texts and finally, talk to Softy.
