Guest: Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast, Roundtable Sports) | Cal Raleigh’s Historic Tear, Josh Naylor’s Free Agency, & Mariners’ Postseason Push | 105
Description
The Mariners haven’t led the AL West this late in a season since 2001 and Cal Raleigh is rewriting baseball history in the process.
On Episode 105 of Tablesetters, we welcome back Brady Farkas, host of the Refuse to Lose Mariners podcast and writer for Roundtable Sports. Brady last joined us on Episode 39 before the season began, and now he returns as Seattle’s wild ride hits its peak.
From Raleigh smashing Mantle’s record and tying Griffey Jr. to Josh Naylor’s free agency price tag, Bryan Woo’s playoff case, and Dan Wilson's composure, Brady takes us inside the clubhouse pulse of a team chasing its first division crown in 24 years.
We also hit on:
🔥 The bullpen trust tree: Bazardo’s glue, Jackson’s rise, and October arms to bank on
🔥 Colt Emerson’s rocket rise through the minors and how soon he factors into the core
🔥 Seattle’s road struggles vs. home dominance: what must travel to seal the West
🔥 Playoff path clarity: chasing a first-round bye or bracing for a Wild Card series
🔥 League-wide storylines and Brady’s World Series pick
If you’re a Mariners fan (or just love meaningful baseball conversation), this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
