Fresh off a series-opening win against Cole Irvin and the A's, the Mariners are 1.5 back with five games to go in this psychedelic season. Brandon and Phil discuss the stakes at this point in the season, the YK sitdown/Matt Brash callup, all on top of the usual underbelly of hydros and bike rides.

ROOT Sports with the S-Class shade

Yankee Stadium sucks. The offense sucks. Regression to the mean sucks.

But Ty France does not suck. Neither does the attention to every veiny detail on the Edgar Martinez statue. And the kids are alright, too.

This week, we talk about the recent woes, the cruel injustices of the Yankees series and share our dismay of that abominable death bin they play in. Then, we got into why Ty France is great and we need to clone him. Plus some good M's minors discussion.
