Refuse to Lose - a Seattle Mariners Podcast

Brady is back on a Friday as the Mariners sit at 18-12 overall heading into Texas. Brady has very minimal, if any complaints about the first 30 games and discusses how the M's have hit every box you want checked in that time. Then, he wonders if the M's "Control the Zone" mantra has worked against them over the last few years and how they've modified it this year.

And after a few weeks of trying to figure out the answer, we finally get the definitive answer on the issue with Julio Rodriguez from an ESPN personality. Then...

Buster Olney of ESPN joins us for our special weekly conversation to talk about the M's 18-12 record at the end of April, playing well against the American League West and much more, including Jorge Polanco's resurgence at the plate and concerns over Logan Gilbert's flexor tendon strain.

Also, what does he make of the big weekend series with the Rangers and can the M's make any trades to help offset the injury issues?

Brady is back for a packed Tuesday episode, discussing the Mariners impressive run to get to 16-12 overall.

Brady is joined by ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney for their weekly conversation. This week, they talk about the M's offense and it's surprising start, if there any concerns for the pitching staff, Matt Brash's possible return and how we should view Julio Rodriguez.

Is he a great player or a very good player that's streaky?

The Mariners are fresh off another series win, this time beating the Toronto Blue Jays in two of three. They've already had an acceptable road trip, but can they make it exceptional against Boston? Brady discusses why Tuesday's game is the one to get for the M's to make it happen. 

Then, we talk about the reasons for optimism for the Mariners. As good as they've been, is there more in the tank? Or, will they turn into pumpkins? And we've got an update on George Kirby, but should we be concerned about how this has gone?

Brady is back on a Friday as the Mariners are over .500! Seattle beat the Reds on Thursday and Brady has one word to describe the M's, and it may not be what you think.

And...

Brady is back on a Friday after the Mariners win their first series of the year against the Houston Astros! What can we take, if anything, from that crazy comeback on Wednesday? And how do the M's handle the roster in the wake of injuries to Victor Robles and Ryan Bliss? 

And Randy Arozarena had the big moments on Wednesday, but who exactly is he as a player? And we're joined by two great guests: Cal Raleigh's dad, Todd, stops by to talk about Cal's new contract and Dr. Michael Fu stops by.
