August 7, 2024

Jason "Puck" Puckett, former KJR host and Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, start off with Divish on his way to  getting a haircut and he's pulled over on the side of the road.  They also cover the upcoming homestand and the role of Scott Servais, who manages using analytics and gut.   Servais made decisions this week in pinch hitting situations that walked the fine line with numbers and feel.  Mitch Garver continues to struggle and there really is no answer how to fix him. Does it feel like Julio is taking longer to recover from his injury...Divish explains and gives his timeline for his return.
