The Mariners lost two players from its organization yesterday. Tim Lopes and Philip Ervin were both claimed off waivers are headed to the National League Central. D.C. talks about both players, tells you which teams they're headed to, and also explains why the M's waived them in the first place.

Jason Hernandez is back once again and answers some questions asked by listeners that were featured in the previous mailbag. These questions happen to fall right into J.D.'s wheelhouse. He talks about which famous games he's been to -- and there are quite a number of them -- and also gives his opinions on the Mariners' uniforms and baseball jerseys at large.

Jason Hernandez joins D.C. once again to discuss some changes coming to Minor League Baseball, specifically the Northwest League and the California League. These two leagues are changing which level of Minor League ball they'll play, and the Mariners have had affiliates in both leagues. (And they'll continue to do so.) D.C. breaks down the changes in the Northwest League -- which affects baseball fans all over Washington, Oregon and Idaho -- while J.D. goes in depth on the changes in the Cal League.

Today, a semi-addled D.C. is joined by Jason Hernandez. The two of them speak about the Mariners newest free agent signing, Keynan Middleton. How does he fit into the Mariners plans, and how does he plan to correct the issues he had in a "rough" 2020 season? Also, Jason & D.C. talk about the future of the National League designated hitter. Which for now is history. (Much to their delight.) Oh yeah. There's hockey and bowling talk, as well. (Congrats to Jason Belmonte!)

The Mariners have added two pitchers -- one via trade, and one via the Rule V Draft. We'll tell you about both new arms the Mariners will have at their disposal next year, and also talk about the Mariners' history with the Rule V Draft.

Locked On Mariners Contributor Jon Miller & D.C. Lundberg answer the remaining fan emails that they didn't get to in the previous episode. The two discuss the strategy of using an "opener," and also discuss what changes -- if any -- they'd make to the Mariners uniforms.

Locked On Mariners Contributor Jon Miller joins D.C. Lundberg to answer fan questions in the latest Mailbag episode. Only two questions are gotten to, as replies to both questions each took up an entire half of the show. (Both of which also ran over time.) Find out how Jon and D.C. would run a big league ball club, including how they'd fashion a starting lineup & rotation, and what kinds of players they'd stock their team with. Also, listen as they tell some stories about the various games they've been to, and one very special ballpark in Cooperstown.

The Mariners have signed free agent Chris Flexen. D.C. tells you about the M's new right-handed pitcher, how he did last year in the Korean Baseball Organization, and also how he's done at the Major League level. In addition, D.C. talks about this year's Ford C. Frick Award winner, Al Michaels. There is a very bizarre transaction that took place in 2006 involving Mr. Michaels and a cartoon character.

Two bits of Mariners news on today's episode First of all, Mitch Haniger avoids arbitration. D.C. talks about his career as a Mariner, his injury-riddled past two years, and the impact his absence had in the outfield in 2020. Later on, D.C. talks about David Lander, who passed away last Friday. While he was a Mariners scout and at one time was minority owner of the Portland Beavers, he's best known for his role on the classic sitcom "Laverne and Shirley," where he played Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggman.

Jason Hernandez joins D.C. Lundberg for this episode, and he shares his recent trip to Seattle with us. He was in Seattle to pick up his and D.C.'s cardboard "Seat Fleet" cutouts from [Pink Cell Phone Company] Park. (D.C. was going to join him, but was unable.) He talks about his brief stay in Seattle, and some items he purchased on his way back home The two of them then delve into the fan mailbag, answering questions from two very loyal listeners to this program.

Guest host Jon Miller tells us about the 1988 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland Athletics in this episode. This Fall Classic features Orel Hershiser's utter dominance of the A's, as well as Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run which ended Game One, a game in which he spent all but one half-inning in the Dodger clubhouse nursing two leg injuries.

Continuing their conversation from last time, D.C. Lundberg and Jon Miller start talking about the pennant races from 1996 and 1995, which leads to a conversation about Mark Langston, which then goes to Dwight Gooden and other pitchers with great breaking pitches. So of course, Randy Johnson's name comes up, which then leads to talk about Larry Walker and the 1997 All-Star Game, then other All-Star Game moments.

Jon Miller joins D.C. Lundberg on this episode. The two of them begin by discussing World Series memories, which leads to a discussion on Kirby Puckett, then his Minnesota Twins, their Manager Tom Kelly, then managing in general, which leads to a discussion involving Texas Rangers' manager Johnny Oates, Dennis Cook, and Ken Griffey Jr.

Joey Martin guest hosts this episode, which remembers the 1986 World Series. The New York Mets and Boston Red Sox were the participants in this Fall Classic. It was a dramatic and exciting seven-game Series, which is most remembered for one play at the end of Game Six -- Bill Buckner's error in the 10th inning which allowed the winning run to score. While that was a big play, there were other key moments which fed into the Red Sox's collapse late in the Series. In addition, Bruce Hurst turned in some great pitching performances, and there were other heroics by both teams.

The 1979 World Series is the subject today. The Baltimore Orioles went out to a 3 games to 1 lead in the Series, but the Pittsburgh Pirates mounted a comeback with great pitching and timely hitting.

Jason Burke of Locked On A's guests hosts this episode looking back at the 1989 World Series. This Series was highly anticipated, as it featured two teams from the same metro area -- the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants. What was supposed to be a great spectacle for the Bay Area was upended by an event which has become associated with this World Series: the devastating Bay Area earthquake which took place just prior to the scheduled start of Game Three.

Jason Block from 8ThreeStudios guest hosts this episode, which looks back upon the 1969 World Series between the powerhouse Baltimore Orioles and the amazin' New York Mets. A classic and thrilling World Series, in which one team would score a seemingly miraculous victory.

The 2004 World Series is the subject today, a Fall Classic featuring two historic franchises -- the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. Neither team had won the Series in a while, with Boston not having won it in 86 years. (St. Louis had last won in 1982.)

Today, November 21, is Ken Griffey Jr.'s birthday. On The Kid's birthday, D.C. talks about his career, both with the Mariners and at large. In the show's second half, he talks about some other Major League Baseball players who share Junior's birthday, including two Hall of Famers. (One of whom was also born in the same city.)

Robinson Canó has failed his second PED test. D.C. talks about this, cheating in Major League Baseball at large, and the impact this suspension will have on the New York Mets. He also lists the more prominent Major League Baseball players who have previously tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, as a reminder that what you see on the field isn't always legitimate, and that there are still plenty of known cheaters in the game.

The 1990 World Series featured two teams who had very different seasons the year before. The Oakland Athletics won the World Series, and had also been in the 1988 Fall Classic. The Cincinnati Reds, meanwhile, finished 5th in the National League West the year before and had a brand new manager, Lou PIniella. The A's were heavily favored, and many experts predicted an Oakland sweep. The Reds would surprise the world, however.

It's awards time, gang. Who won the Gold Glove Awards? Who were the Silver Sluggers? How about Managers of the Year? Rookies of the Year? Cy Young Award Winners? MVPs? listen to this episode of Locked On Mariners to find out! (D.C. may or may not be overly excited about the American League Rookie of the Year.)

Today, D.C. is joined by Jon Miller. After dropping some extra-inning trivia to begin the show, D.C. goes off on a tangent about music. The second half of the show begins with some impressive baseball news, as the duo talk about the first female general manager in Major League Baseball history, Kim Ng. (Who was hired by the Miami Marlins.) D.C. finishes up by going off on another tangent, this one about female bowlers.

On this Veteran's Day, D.C. does his best to salute those who have served in the armed forces by talking about those Major League Baseball Players who served in the military during wartime. While there were a plethora of players who served during World War II, others also served during World War I, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Locked On Mariners thanks those of you out there who have served your country.

In our small way of paying tribute to the late Alex Trebek, we today look back at the 1992 World Series -- the first Fall Classic to feature a team from Canada. (Mr. Trebek was Canadian) The Toronto Blue Jays faced off against the Atlanta Braves, who lost the '91 Series. Not only were the Jays the first Canadian team to play in the World Series (or the first non-American team at all), they were the first Canadian team to win it.
