Mariners vs Orioles and the battle for... King Felix?

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/08/14

Felix Hernandez is now a member of the Mariners HOF, and I discuss what he means to me as a fan, what he means to the Mariners franchise, and the best bits of his HOF ceremony. The Orioles came to town and took a series from the Mariners, which has been very difficult to do since July started. It felt like a playoff preview, and I break down the highlights from those three games. I also talk some Julio Rodriguez, Felix, Orioles social media and have a fun (name) edition of BRef POTW.

2023/08/07

I'm back! After a week off during the trade deadline, I make my triumphant return to this podcast just in time to talk about the Mariners mop of the Angels in Anaheim. This is a loaded episode, I break down who the Mariners acquired at the deadline while saying my heartfelt goodbye to Paul Sewald. I go over the crucial Angels series MOP over the weekend, the wild card picture/playoff odds, and I throw a bunch of stats at you that put the Mariners run since July 1st in perspective.

Cal Raleigh is the Prime Minister of Canada

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/07/24

This weekend, we saw the yearly pilgrimage of Blue Jay fans to Seattle. Those fans got to see Cal Raleigh and Teoscar Hernandez take turns savaging their baseball team en route to a series victory. But the M's continue to hover around .500 and the trade deadline is right around the corner, so I talk about what they might do in the next week to set themselves up for this season and the future. I also hit on some quick fire Mariners notes, Jarred Kelenic fractured his foot kicking a cooler, what's

The Purgatory of 'Mid' Continues

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/07/17

Nothing like dropping a series to the Tigers to kickstart the second half! The trade deadline is looming, and the Mariners simply cannot continue to roll out the same offense and hope to make the playoffs. What do they do? I go over why trading Logan Gilbert, while I don't want to see it happen, makes the most sense to address the offensive woes. I talk a little Ohtani, again, and what I would do if I was in the current situation the Angels find themselves in. BRef POTW returns, and chaos reigns. If

Join me in this midweek podcast and recap what we just saw during the All Star Break! Julio Rodriguez broke a derby record, the NL finally won an All Star Game, Ohtani said things about Seattle, and I recap what the Mariners did in the Amateur draft. Plus, I review the JuliO's cereal live on the podcast, and trust me, you don't want to miss out on that excellent listening experience.

The All Star Break

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/07/10

The chaos is flowing in this one, no structure, simply vibes. We've finally reached the All Star break, and the MLB limelight now shines on the beautiful city of Seattle. The only thing I need to see from the break is Julio Rodriguez wearing the home run derby chain, because it goes absolutely crazy. The Mariners have been playing some great ball recently and carry some momentum going into the break. They also made a small trade that I discuss a little bit, from a fan perspective and a business

Trade Deadline Prep

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/07/03

The Mariners are a submarine and the World Series is the Titanic wreck, they're currently descending down to view the wreck, will they implode before they reach the bottom? I rant about the current state of the Mariners in this episode, and I do a little trade deadline strategy talk to get us prepared for the month of July.

The Mariners Mustache Men

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/06/20

Join me this episode as I discuss THAT Dodgers-Giants play, a special Negro Leagues BRef POTW, the A's reverse boycott, and the recent Mariners home stand that left me happy but yearning for more. I also arrive at two conclusions this episode, Rob Manfred hates baseball and the Mariners are officially a mustache team.Follow me on Twitter and email me stupid questions about baseball or life.Twitter - @chaosball1977Email - mschaosball@gmail.com

The Mariners Vacation to Southern California

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/06/12

The Seattle Mariners took a trip down to SoCal this past week, and they got a heavy dose of June gloom. They continue to play uninspiring baseball and somehow lead the league in getting picked off??? The dreams of winning the AL West this season are likely tarnished. Something has to change for this club and soon, otherwise the daunting AL Wildcard will slip away from their hands.

Enter The Bryan Woo-Tang (36 Changeups)

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/06/05

We have finally reached the month of June and that means we can officially start panicking about the Mariners season and we also have a decent enough sample to start judging every player very harshly. Bryan Woo made his debut against the best offense in baseball and it went about as you'd expect. The Mariners had an embarrassing week and the vibes couldn't be lower at the moment. Although it's still early, I talk a little trade deadline at the end of the show and potential teams that could be

The Memorial Day Special

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/05/29

The Mariners went 6-1 since my last podcast, and I would like to express my thanks to the Oakland Athletics for a good part of that. Julio has started to catch up to his expected stats, the pitching is still fantastic, the vibes are better, overall a great week to be a Mariners fan. Besides M's ball, I have a special Memorial Day edition of the BRef POTW, I delve into how the AL West playoff odds have changed since the season began, and I discuss Mookie Betts bringing a full kitchen on road trips

Why are the Mariners like this?

The Chaos Ball Podcast ·

2023/05/22

I recap the last two weeks of Mariners baseball that showed little to no growth and why the team building leaves a lot to be desired in the speed department. I do a mini deep dive on Cal Raleigh's defense so far this year and examine his improvements since his rookie year. I also talk about one reason why I was wrong about the Rangers coming into this season. The Chaos Moment of the Week returns! I close with a simple question, could Ichiro pitch for the A's right now?Twitter - @Chaosball1977Email -

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 Seattle Mariners Preview

2023/03/29

The time has come, the Mariners preview is finally here. After breaking the drought last year, what does the 2023 season hold for these lads. What does Julio have to do to win MVP? What are the expectations for this squad vs what are the projections saying. What are the biggest question marks going into the year? Did they improve enough this offseason?

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
