RUNDOWN

 

Mitch Levy and guest co-host Danny O'Neil react to Julio Rodríguez’s surprising All-Star selection and question whether he belongs among baseball’s elite. The duo debates the greatest individual season by a Seattle athlete over the past 30 years, considering iconic performances by Ichiro, Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, and Shaun Alexander. They factor in stats, MVP honors, cultural impact, and surprise value.

Jason D. Hamilton joins the show to share his experience walking 72 holes in a single day at the Bandon Dunes Summer Solstice event. He recounts the physical toll, unexpected challenges, and personal reflections, along with a look at family updates and Mitch’s plans to attend an NIL-era college basketball tournament in Las Vegas.

Mariners No-Table, Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas, return to discuss the Mariners’ recent success, including a sweep of the Pirates and strong outings from Brian Woo. They revisit the Julio All-Star debate and urge fans to move on from Robbie Ray. The group also previews upcoming series against the Yankees and Tigers.

Finally, Mitch welcomes MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis to preview the Mariners’ draft strategy with the No. 3 pick. Callis explains why this year’s class may lack elite headliners but still holds value, and discusses trade possibilities involving top prospects like Harry Ford. He also highlights Cal Raleigh’s standout season, calling it one of the best ever by a catcher.
