The 2024 Season Has Arrived

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/04/05

We made it folks, the Mariners played baseball games that actually mattered this past week and the vibes are already on the floor. Somehow, they are 3-4 but it doesn't feel that way. But I don't focus too much on the actual baseball they played, more about the general vibe and my feelings from the first week of ball. I talk about the new Salmon Race and mourn the loss of the Hydro Plane Race in the process. I transition to talk about some broader MLB topics like the Fanatics jersey fiasco, the A's,

Seattle Mariners Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/03/22

We've officially made it folks, opening day is right around the corner and it's time to preview the Seattle baseball Mariners! I rant about the current state of the team for the first third of this episode, so be prepared for a very long string of thoughts to open this one. The last 2/3 of the episode I get into each player projected to be on the opening day roster. What are the keys to success for this team, who is the X-Factor, what are my predictions? Find all that out in this final preview

AL East Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/03/15

The last divisional preview pod! And I saved the meatiest division for last, if the NL Central was a knife fight in an alley, the AL East is a gladiator fight in the Colosseum. I can make a case for each team in this division to make the playoffs, yes, even the Red Sox. Join me as I breakdown this loaded division, and wrap up the divisional previews with a spicy division winner pick. Thanks for listening along this past month, Opening Day is almost upon us and my Mariners preview will be dropping

NL West Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/03/11

The NL West is home to maybe the best team in baseball, and probably the worst team in baseball as well. Similar to the NL Central, I have no clue how the three teams in the middle will shake out! We have four teams trying to be competitive and that should provide plenty of entertainment, and then the Rockies are here also. Thanks for listening, we are almost done with the divisional previews, just one left later this week!Timestamps:Rockies - 1:16Padres - 12:30Giants - 32:07DBacks - 55:40Dodgers -

NL Central Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/03/08

The NL Central will be a knife fight the entire way, I could see every team winning this division when it's all said and done (maybe not the Pirates). I think this division is going to be really fun in 2024, full of young exciting players and at least four teams that all have playoff hopes. Tap in and listen to me attempt to decipher how this group will shake out this season.Timestamps:Pirates - 1:58Reds - 15:55Brewers - 33:41Cubs - 48:20Cardinals - 1:06:18Twitter - @chaosball1977Email -

AL West Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/03/01

The wild wild AL West preview is here, and this division should be fun just like last year. The top teams all have very clear strengths and weaknesses, and they all project to finish within a few wins of each other like last year. The A's have some young players to watch, and the move to Vegas looms. And the Angels exist, Mike Trout is healthy, can they be the spicy thorn in the Mariners, Rangers and Astros side this year? Thanks for listening to this one, the next preview is coming out next

NL East Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/02/27

The NL East is home to the best team in baseball, and also the Washington Nationals. The three teams in between should provide plenty of entertainment throughout the 2024 season as they hunt for a wild card. There are plenty of fun players and interesting team builds going on in this division, and I break it all down for you and attempt to predict what happens this season! Thank you for listening, the AL West preview is coming later this week!Washington Nationals - 2:30Miami Marlins - 19:35New York

AL Central Preview

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/02/23

The start of the divisional previews is upon us! The AL Central is not what you called a "good division" but there is some fun to be had in there. I go over each teams projected lineups and pitching staffs, and noodle on what I think the outcome is for the team in 2024 as well as identify each teams X-Factor and Key Questions for the year. There are 5 more of these divisional previews on the way, so strap in and get ready to listen to me name a bunch of dudes for a month straight. Please rate and

Divisional Preview Schedule + Grover Lowdermilk

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/02/16

This is the last episode before the divisional previews begin! In this very short and sweet edition of the pod, I banter very briefly about the schedule for next month, early pitchers and catchers news from Arizona, and Fanatics/Nike garbage jerseys. And I finish the episode talking about Grover Cleveland Lowdermilk, a 100% real baseball player from the early 1900s.Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

Petition To Bring Back Bullpen Carts

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/02/09

Jerry made another trade, and unexpected but delightful move for Gregory Santos. I breakdown who exactly the Mariners acquired, and who they gave up, and how this improves the team and makes a lot of sense. Who did the M's give up, was it worth it? Plus I touch on some broader MLB topics such as, where do we put the A's?

Trader Jerry Is At It Again Folks

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/01/30

The Mariners did a thing! Jerry Dipoto made a trade that everyone had been mocking for months now, but the return package was surprising. I spent about half the episode talking about Jorge Polanco to the Mariners, and what it means for the lineup and the bullpen. I round out the episode with some HOF talk, and finish with Ichiro and Felix 2025 HOF propaganda. Thanks for listening!Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

The Off-Season Slowly Rolls On

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/01/23

This is what happens when there isn't much to talk about, the only big signings of late have been a pair of relievers, and for the Mariners... Austin Voth? I went down a rabbit hole thinking about the Mariners bullpen for next season after the Voth signing, highlighting the core, the fringe, and the wild cards of the potential pen in 2024. I then meander about and talk about what teams have had the best/worst off-season up until this point. And then I end the episode drafting a Seattle Mariners NBA

The Mariners Roster is Beginning to Take Shape

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2024/01/12

It's been a while since I recorded, but I am back to talk about the many moves that Jerry Dipoto and Co. have done since I last podded. Mitch Garver first and foremost, and then I talk about the pair of trades that happened more recently in which we saw our beloved boy Mitch Haniger return to the Seattle Mariners, and Anthony DeSchlafani has to be mentioned because he is indeed, a baseball player. Dipoto also found Jarred Kelenic's replacement in the outfield, and he traded with his favorite pals

I Deferred The Rest Of This Episode To 2024

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/12/22

Jung Hoo Lee has signed, Shohei Ohtani has signed, Yoshinobu Yamamoto signed an hour after I recorded. Who's left on the free agent pile and what's doable at this point for the (broke) Seattle Mariners? With the lack of significant Mariners news, this is a shorter episode and I decided to defer the rest of this podcast to 2024, so happy holidays and I'll see you next year.Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

The Salary Dumping Episode

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/12/08

I'm back folks, and it's officially salary dumping season and everyone is thrilled about it. I missed quite a bit since I last recorded, so I covered the Urias, Eugenio, and Kelenic trades and discussed how I am feeling about the team right now. Plus, the winter meetings were boring, Servais and Dipoto both said some things, and Ty France is at Driveline. If you too hate ownership groups, please leave a rating and review and tell me how you really feel.Twitter - @chaosball1977Email -

Should the Mariners sign Blake Snell?

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/11/17

Listen, was the title of this episode a plot to improve my SEO? Maybe. I do talk about Snell but it's not until the end of the show. I meander through my thoughts about free agency and arrive at some conclusions about the M's second base situation, their recent coaching hire, and how they should sign Jung Hoo Lee or I'm going to be unhappy. Plus, Julio was 4th in MVP voting, and JP and Cal both got 9th and 10th place votes! Please rate and/or review if you enjoy the show!Twitter -

Mariners Off-Season Outlook

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/11/06

I look ahead into the vast sea that is the baseball off-season and take stock of who is available, what the Mariners strategy should be, and why the front office is currently in a pressure cooker. Would signing Shohei Ohtani release the pressure, or do they need to do more? What trades could they consider? I pose lots of questions with multiple choice answers, will the M's ace the test? (Probably not)Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

Looking back on my divisional previews and O/U's, how...

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/11/03

Join me as I reflect upon my divisional preview podcasts. I went back and listened to each pre-season preview podcast, and I am ready to share how much I got right and wrong when previewing each team. I got a lot right, but my O/U picks do not reflect greatness. Thanks for listening, and be on the lookout for Monday when I release my Mariners offseason outlook podcast.Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

2023 Mariners Season In Review

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/10/16

I've digested the Mariners season, and split it up into three categories: The good, the bad, and the meh. I listened back to my pre-season episode and yoinked some quotes to see if I really do know ball, and then I talked candidly about the 2023 Mariners and what we can take away from this season. Please rate and/or review if you enjoy, especially for those of you I talk to within 1 minute of the show. ;)Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com
