It's Bryce Miller Time

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/05/10

The Mariners AA affiliate in Arkansas is a pitching lab and they just won't stop. Bryce Miller is the latest product from the lab and he possesses one of the most unique fastballs in the league. I discuss his first two starts and what makes his fastball so cool as well as what else AA has cooking down there. There is more than just Bryce Miller in this episode, I touch on umpire accountability, the Mariners continuing offensive woes, and the least convincing sweep I've ever seen. Can't forget about

Spacey The Needle

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/05/01

The month of April is over, how'd the Mariners do? Next steps for the club after the Robbie Ray news (Bryce Miller call up was after I recorded). I recap the month of April and some key numbers that have dictated the Mariners season so far, and I discuss my somewhat optimistic outlook for the month of May. Of course, the BRef POTW is a good one, it balances out the lack of Chaos Moment of the Week on this episode. Plus, I banter a little bit about Spacey The Needle, who burned bright and burned

Designated Hitter? Never heard of her

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/04/24

Spoiler alert, I talk more about Jarred Kelenic this week as he continues his hot start to the 2023 season. More specifically, I talk about what i've noticed in his swing and what big leaguer he reminds me of a little bit. What have I seen from the Mariners so far this year that is unexpected, what has been about as expected, and is it time to press the panic button on Kolten Wong? As always, the BRef Player of the Week and the Chaos Moment of the week are at the top of the episode, as well as some

The Jarred Kelenic Episode

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/04/17

The Mariners are .500, (as of 3/16), so the season can officially begin, again. There is a lot of Jarred Kelenic talk in this one folks, but I ramble about the first few weeks of the season and finally take a look at some stats. I discuss what have the Mariners done well, what they haven't done well, and why the sample size is always worth mentioning. Is the Mariners DH spot a black hole or an abyss? Plus, a special Baseball Reference player of the week in honor of the NBA Playoffs kicking off

The Balls May Be Juiced Again

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/04/10

I can promise you a lot of chaos in this episode with a little less structure, because it's early in the season and we are just vibing with the small sample size while we still can. I banter about what I saw in baseball the last week, how the Seattle Mariners are doing these days, and I present a very special Baseball Reference Player Of The Week. And I ask the question everyone is wondering, are the baseballs (kinda) juiced again?Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.comSubstack - The

Opening Day Weekend

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/04/03

Opening day weekend finally happened, and spoiler alert, it was fun! WARNING: I will not overreact to anyones individual performances and I encourage you to do the same. No stats are mentioned in the episode because the sample is simply too small to make any sort of judgement. I introduced two new recurring segments in this podcast, the BRef player of the week, and the chaos moment of the week. I also discussed the new rules and how they impacted baseball this weekend and what I expect moving

2023 AL West Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/03/29

We did it! This is the last divisional preview podcast of the preseason. This episode only features four of the teams in this division, because my Mariners only preview will be dropping tomorrow, the day before opening day. Not only do I name a bunch of dudes on each team, but I also wildly speculate on Shohei Ohtani's future. This is a tough division to predict and every team improved at least a little bit this offseason. But, the Astros are still the standard, and the A's are still the floor, so

2023 NL West Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/03/27

Could the Dodgers hold on the NL West be slipping? The Padres vs Dodgers divisional race should be fun. Join me as I preview each team, what each roster looks like, what the projections are for your favorite team, and Over/Unders! Find out if the Padres can build an entire team only using shortstops, or maybe the Rockies will win more than 60 games. The Giants are the Giants and who knows, maybe they'll make the playoffs, they are just so quirky and random. And finally, will the Dodgers prospects be

2023 AL East Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/03/24

More like AL BEAST am I right folks?? Seriously though, this is a crazy competitive division and should be a really fun all year. Listen to me go through each team and name as many dudes as possible in an hour and a half span. Did the Red Sox do enough this offseason? Will the Orioles build upon their surprising success last season? Can the Rays stay healthy enough to challenge for the division? How can Aaron Judge build on last season, is that even possible? And finally, can the latter half of the

2023 NL East Preview

2023/03/11

**I recorded this episode prior to both the Andrew Painter injury news and the Keibert Ruiz extension**Welcome to the NL East! A division likely to see some carnage this season, with three clear candidates to win the division. The NL East is home to the richest owner and financial cheat code Steve Cohen. It's also home to the mighty mashing Phillies and also the dingermachineless Marlins. By the end of reading this description, the Braves have already signed another young player to a team friendly

2023 NL Central Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/03/08

Welcome to the NL Central. Home to Adam Wainwright and Rich Hill, two brave 60 year old men still throwing baseballs professionally. This division is also home to the brokest owner in all of baseball, however, all five teams have a certain frugality about the way they do business. In this podcast you will hear me ramble and name almost every player who may contribute to these teams throughout the season, and eventually give my O/U picks for each team. For two teams, this divisional race will be

Home of Vinnie Pasquantino, the thicc Italian king. Home of Dylan Cease, the mustache from Milton. Home of... Eric Haase? Statistically the best Tigers hitter in 2022. Listen along as I ramble about projections and name a lot of dudes, plus, I give my O/U win totally picks for these teams which will absolutely win 100% of the

The Last of Us (Relievers)

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/02/05

What scraps are left on the free agent market? I could corral up all the free agent morsels left on the market and make a great meal out of it to feed a hungry baseball team. I discuss what the Mariners revealed to us in their pre spring training press conference, including injuries, WBC inclusions. Plus, a bonus cold open about OOTP baseball and why it is just too real sometimes.
