RUNDOWN

 

Whoops, Danny O’Neil had confidently claimed that the Mariners would take first place in the AL West and that manager Scott Servais would not be fired. Fun With Audio: Deion Sanders’ recent tensions with a Denver Post columnist.

Mitch talks with former Mets General Manager Steve Phillips about the recent firing of Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais. They discuss the unusual timing of the firing, as the Mariners were still in playoff contention, and the challenges of such a decision. Phillips emphasizes that while Servais wasn’t responsible for the team’s poor hitting, the move was likely a desperate attempt by GM Jerry DePoto to spark a late-season turnaround.

Seahawks No-Table discuss the final preseason game, a win over the Cleveland Browns. They reflect on the performance of key players like quarterback Geno Smith and wide receiver DK Metcalf, emphasizing the positive yet cautious takeaways from the game, given that the Browns did not play their starters. Mitch expresses a mix of cautious optimism and lingering uncertainties about the Seahawks’ prospects for the upcoming season, particularly regarding the impact of new defensive coordinator Mike McDonald.

Mariners No-Table; Mitch hosts a discussion with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas on the Mariners’ recent turbulent week being swept by the Dodgers, the firing of manager Scott Servais, the hiring of Dan Wilson, and the Mariners’ series win against the San Francisco Giants.
