Welcome back to another Blight Bat! This episode the show is happy to host Seattle Times’ Mariners beat writer Ryan Divish. We meander around topics here; there’s discussion about the current state of the team, Cal Raleigh’s absurd season, Ryan laying the groundwork for his sabbatical, the different experience of watching the team without writing about them, what makes ballplayers great, and a lot more.
Stick around for some great insight on Kyle Seager’s cussedness, the God-kissed right arm of Felix Hernandez, Dave Niehaus profanity, and how bad teenage boys make a rain-soaked Montana cabin smell.
Huge thanks to Ryan for his time and insight, and thanks to you as always for listening! If you enjoy the show, please feel free to subscribe and rate it wherever you get your podcasts.
