Hey, kids; rock and roll; rock on; ooh, my soul. Yes, After briefly talking about the classic David Essex song, D.C. and guest Jason Hernandez talk about the Mariners Seat Fleet cutouts. Since there were fewer home games than anticipated, the Mariners are making it up to the fans in a pretty cool way. It's Friday, which means the Friday Mailbag. Jason sticks around to answer fan emails with D.C., which including questions about Safeco Field, the Mariners' future, and home & away jerseys. At the end, D.C. gets schooled by Jason on proper Spanish pronunciation and Mexican geography.

The M's did beat Houston yesterday to take the series 2-1, but the scenario that would allow the Mariners to advance to postseason play is pretty unlikely. D.C. talks about yesterday's game, and then lays out exactly what would need to happen for the M's to end their playoff drought. Rock on!

The Mariners' playoff hopes are fading following yesterday's loss to Houston. D.C. talks about yesterday's game and shares what he thinks the M's need to do to make it to postseason play this year. Two more division titles have been claimed, D.C. gets you up to speed on who has clinched what, and also gives an updated on the National and American League leaders, both pitching and hitting.

The Mariners took the first game of the most important series of the year. D.C. speaks about this first game of three vs. the Houston Astros. In the second half, he updates you on the rest of the divisional races in baseball, including the first [and so far only] team to win its division outright.

D.C recaps the final two games of the Padres series in San Diego, including yesterday's extra-innings affair. Which means that once again, he complains about the stupid free runner rule, and may or may not mock Commissioner Manfred in the process. To close out the show, D.C. shares a story about his great-grandfather, whose birthday it would have been today.

In two different "Sans" -- San Francisco and San Diego -- the Mariners would play the part of the home team while the air in Seattle remained smoky. And in both cities, they'd lose. D.C. breaks down the two previous games, as well as talking about how the Astros did over the previous two days. Then, the... Friday??? Mailbag segment, one day later than planned. D.C. answers questions about the M's playoff chances, his playing days, and thumb wrestling.

Yep. Not the best day to be a Mariners pitcher. (Or Dylan Moore.) D.C. talks about the 9-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Mariners are chasing the Houston Astros for a playoff spot, so D.C. also talks briefly about how our favorite trashcan bangers fared in their game vs. the Rangers.

D.C. talks about the Mariners playoff chances in the first half of today's program. They're battling Houston for the second spot in the Western Division; whose schedule is more favorable? And will this ludicrous playoff structure be in place beyond this already-bizarre season? Also, D.C. updates you on how some former Mariners who were traded near the deadline are doing with their new teams.

The Mariners split the two games of Monday's double header against the Oakland A's yesterday. Guest host Jon Miller recaps both games. In the second half of the program, Jon welcomes Jason Hernandez, who talks about his glorious weekend near Dodger Stadium, where the Houston Astros were in town; the Asterisks were heckled from afar by Dodger rooters, who showed up even though no fans were allowed inside the ballpark, and got some ribbing from the Dodger Stadium organist & deejay.

The Mariners take two of three games in Arizona, the final two by identical scores. D.C. recaps this series in the second half of the program, after talking about the second no-hitter of the MLB season in the first half, in addition to some more roster shuffling for the M's.

Jason Hernandez joins D.C. on this program, and hilarity ensues. J.D. talks about his weekend plans, which involves the Dodgers/Astros series in Los Angeles. Which is of interest to Mariners rooters, as the 'Stros are currently battling the Mariners for a playoff berth. Yes, the Mariners are actually in a pennant race. Jason also talks about the items he received from various teams that held virtual marathons. Finally, the two of them answer fan emails in the Friday Mailbag.

The Mariners dropped both games of its series against the Giants in San Francisco, the second of which was... bad. However, not nearly as bad as some other teams fared on Wednesday. D.C. talks about both M's losses in San Fran, as well as the two monster performances by the Brewers and Braves yesterday.

The Mariners took advantage of a struggling Texas Rangers team over the last four days, winning all four games of the series vs. the Rangers. D.C. talks about the four-game sweep, and the plethora of roster moves that the M's made prior to and during the series. Brooms up, gang!

Yesterday was the 25th Anniversary of Cal Ripken, Jr. breaking Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak. Ripken was our host's favorite player growing up -- and still is his all-time favorite player -- so D.C. takes the opportunity to talk about Ripken's career and streak on today's program.

Today, Ulises Sambrano from "Locked On Rays," Javi Reyes from "Locked On Padres," and Gabrielle Star from "Locked On Red Sox" test their baseball knowledge in the latest game of "Diamond Quiz."

A very sleepy D.C. Lundberg updates the stats of the players on the M's roster, and also talks about how Taijuan Walker & Daniel Vogelbach have fared in Toronto thus far.

Just prior to yesterday's trading deadline, the Mariners sent reliever Taylor Williams to the Padres. D.C. talks about this trade and goes over Williams' career as a Mariners, and overall. Mariners also defeated the Los Angeles Angels yesterday in "The Big A," which is a giant letter A, 2-1 Marco Gonzales performed like a true #1 starter, and D.C. talks about his pitching performance, as well as the hot streak on which Jose Marmolejos currently is.

Austin Nola, Dan Altavilla, and Austin Adams are all now members of the San Diego Padres. This news broke while D.C. was recording. (Hence why it's the second half of the show and not the first half.) D.C. talks about all seven players involved, the three mentioned above, and the four the M's got in return: Ty France, Andres Muñoz, Luis Torrens, and Taylor Trammell. It was also an... interesting weekend in Anaheim. D.C. discusses the weekend games, including Saturday's unmitigated disaster.

In today's second episode of the "Locked On Mariners" double-header, D.C. looks back at a home run record the Mariners set on this date in 1998. And none of the "usual suspects" were involved in setting this record. Also, D.C. dives into the Friday Mailbag for the first time since Spring Training.

D.C. talks about the double-header in Slam Diego that took place on Thursday. The M's executed a trade mere hours prior to the first game of said double-header. Taijuan Walker is now a Toronto Blue Jay. (Or should that be the "Buffalo Blue Jays" this year?) D.C. talks about that trade, also, in the first episode of today's "Locked On Mariners" double-header.

The Mariners did in fact cool of a red hot San Diego (or "Slam Diego") Padres team on Tuesday, who had won seven in a row. The M's dropped four runs on them in the first two innings, going onto an 8-3 final score. D.C. talks about this game, and then talks about the big baseball news item of Tuesday: Lucas Giolito's no-hitter against the Pirates. D.C. also talks about this dominating effort, and some other pitching mastery that's taken place on August 25.

To borrow a phrase from another sport, brooms up! Mariners sweep aside the Texas Rangers, whose starting pitchers... were not very impressive for the most part. D.C. talks about this three-game series. Javier Reyes from "Locked On Padres" then joins him to talk about some of the Padres players ahead of the three-game series which begins tonight in San Diego. (Or "Slam Diego," as it were.)

In D.C. Lundberg's 100th episode of this program, first half is much the same as it ever was -- covering a Mariners loss. Kershaw was Kershaw, M's pitching staff coughed up yet another big inning, and Kyle Seager does something good. After that, some of the other hosts on the Locked On Network chime in to congratulate D.C. on his 100th episode. Finally, D.C. pays tribute to his late friend who got him into baseball podcasting, Jim Williams.

After a plethora of roster moves on Wednesday, the Mariners win for the first time in a week, topping the Dodgers 6-4. D.C. talks about this game, and which players were the keys to the victory. Among the aforementioned roster moves was the designation for assignment of Daniel Vogelbach. D.C. also examines what may have led to his slow start this year and his poor second half last season, but also explains why Vogey was one of his favorite Mariners.

As good as the Mariners offense was on Monday, they were almost that bad last night. On the flip side, as bad as the pitching was on Monday, Marco Gonzales was that good, if not better. D.C. breaks down the latest Mariners loss, which has become an unfortunate trend. In the second half, in light of Kyle & Corey Seager finally facing off against one another, we look at some other pairs of Big League brothers who have played for the Mariners.
