Summary
RUNDOWN
Mitch and Hotshot dive into the growing obsession surrounding Mariners prospects Kade Anderson and Colt Emerson, debating the impossible question every fan wrestles with: when is a young star actually "ready"? Mitch argues the bigger story right now might be the excitement around the kids in the minors rather than the inconsistent big-league club itself.
The Mariners No-Table crew reacts to Seattle wasting another opportunity to gain ground in the AL West after dropping a series to the White Sox, with the conversation centering on Cal Raleigh's brutal slump, a lineup that can't hit with runners in scoring position, and whether the offense is fundamentally flawed. Joe Doyle questions whether Rob Refsnyder's roster spot is already in jeopardy, while Brady Farkas warns the team is running out of time to keep calling these stretches "frustrating."
Christian Caple joins Mitch to break down the strange reality of opening the season with the Apple Cup, why the Demond Jr. Williams NIL saga probably won't matter unless he struggles, and whether fans are already primed to overreact to every interception. They also dig into Washington's biggest roster questions — especially at running back after Adam Mohammed's departure — plus why Jedd Fisch is betting heavily on young talent instead of portal mercenaries.
Derek Berg joins Mitch to talk about the long, winding golf journey that finally landed him in the PGA Championship at age 44 — from getting dropped off at Carnation Golf Course as a kid to grinding through mini tours, teaching lessons, and surviving years of close calls at the PGA Professional Championship. It's a candid, emotional conversation about chasing a dream long after most people would've quit.

| 0:38.6 | we're going for it. We're going board games, the whole thing. We're going hard. So this is just a break. We're just in a break in the action right now, all right? That's right. I'm looking forward to this more than anything for once. The unusual thing about the Mariners, and we will get to the Mariners No Table, which will lead off when we start the show officially, episode 382. |
| 0:57.6 | We will start. thing about the Mariners, and we will get to the Mariners No Table, which will lead off when we |
| 0:54.8 | start the show officially, episode 382. We will start the show officially with the Mariners No Table. |
| 1:00.8 | But my two cents this week is it feels like an unusual thing. When you're talking about a team |
| 1:07.5 | that had World Series expectations, where there's more attention almost on two |
| 1:14.8 | minor league players than there is on the entire big league team. And I know that's a little bit |
| 1:23.0 | of hyperbole, but not a lot. Kate Anderson and Colt Emerson. Yeah. Say that a couple of times fast. Kate Anderson and Colt Emerson, I think are more interesting than what I've been watching day to day from the Seattle Mariners. But I know what you're saying, though, as when you have a good franchise, a really good franchise, you shouldn't even be thinking about those guys down there. Right. That shouldn't even be, make your eyeballs ever. Like, who cares? They'll get here when we're |
| 1:48.6 | ready and we'll just keep winning. But yes, we're all obsessing over those two. They'll get here |
| 1:53.4 | when they're ready. That's right. I'm glad you said it just like that. They'll get here when |
| 1:59.5 | they're ready. Well, there could be some people that would jump on this podcast that would tell you they're |
| 2:05.3 | both not only ready, but they both can help a World Series contender potentially again |
| 2:12.5 | become a World Series contender. |
