00:00Well, let's talk about the Seattle Mariners real quick.
00:02These guys are so hot as well.
00:05The Seattle Mariners won four in a row.
00:06They've taken nine of their last 10 games.
00:09I was listening to a clip that TJ Mathewson and Lyle Goldstein put out.
00:13Our guys at the Marine Layer podcast do a great job covering the Mariners.
00:16And they said that was like a flawless series.
00:19They played a perfect series.
00:20They didn't trail once over the weekend.
00:22Seattle didn't.
00:24Seattle looks the part right now.
00:26Now, my question is, can Cal Raleigh win the American League MVP?
00:31Because the odds on Pat MGM would seem to indicate that this thing is really, really tight.
00:37Really?
00:38Yes.
00:39What are the odds?
00:40Have you seen?
00:41I think Raleigh's plus 100 right now.
00:43I think Judge is minus 145.
00:46Holy crap.
00:47Holy crap.
00:48I didn't realize it got that close again.
00:50I mean, Cal just set the Mariners record.
00:52He said the switch hitting record.
00:52Well, if they win the division, the narrative side really comes together, too.
00:57Winning that division and then all the accolades.
01:00But then I was just looking at Judge.
01:01He's back up to a 199 WRC plus.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Holy crap.
01:06So my other question, I think, with this team, you know, would have been Julio.
01:11Julio's been playing like a superstar again.
01:14So Gino's heating back up again.
01:18Randy's Randy in the playoffs.
01:19So I don't really have any questions offensively.
01:21You could say, like, who's going to get that ball game three?
01:25I think that's an interesting question.
01:26But I think now that Kirby's throwing the way that he is, it's him.
01:31There's not really a specific thing that jumps out to me with this ball club right now.
01:36I don't know if there's a specific burning question other than can Julio kind of have his iconic moment here finally?
01:41And I say finally like he's not 24 years old.
01:45But, you know, get a chance here in a longer postseason series to really, you know, make his mark.
01:50I think this could be the beginning of that.
01:52Yeah.
01:52I guess the question would be Brian Wu, right?
01:55It's peck tightness.
01:56Like, he's hoping to stay off.
01:58So, like, is Wu healthy and then sustainable, question mark?
02:01Like, is this hot stretch, you know, good to run through the tape and win this division?
02:06They're starting to separate, it seems, from the Houston Astros.
02:09Yep.
02:10So, let's talk about Houston real quick.
02:13The Houston Astros right now hold on to a share of the final wild card spot.
02:18Houston, I think Cleveland does have the tie break over Houston.
02:21But the Astros lost three in a row.
02:23They're 84-72.
02:25And they've won five of their last ten games.
02:27Kind of seems like they're stagnating after that Ranger sweep that they had.
02:32But Houston, I don't know.
02:37Like, they seem a little flatlining right now.
02:41I don't know if that's a real word.
02:43It's definitely not.
02:44I guess my question is, are you flatlining?
02:46Yeah, that and who's your third best arm?
02:50Is it Jason Alexander or is it Christian Javier?
02:52And that's a crazy question.
02:55I think you side with Javier given what he's done.
02:58But up until that last outing, Jason Alexander had been kind of a dude for them.
03:03And he got absolutely blitzed.
03:06So, do you now have no trust in Jason Alexander?
03:10Would he be getting the ball in a presumptive game four?
03:13And then the other is just, are you going to get Jordan Alvarez back this season?
03:17I'm starting to become concerned that Jordan just may never be able to stay healthy at all.
03:22Because these injuries couldn't have been more different.
03:25It's like you slipped on home plate.
03:26And it's not, you know, some guys slip and it's an ankle sprain and they're out for a couple weeks.
03:30Jordan slips, it's an ankle sprain, it's catastrophic.
03:33Like, it's a high, high, high ankle sprain.
03:35Like, it's a really bad one.
03:36And they think he might be out for potentially the rest of the year.
03:39Like, it's not ruled out.
