# 285 Brad Adam Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

Jason "Puck" Puckett, former KJR host, joined by Brad Adam, Root Sports, for his weekly conversation discussing the Mariners. The majority of the conversation centered on who is to blame for their play? Is it the fault of ownership, the front office or the manager? Puck and Brad both agree they all share blame. if they do miss the playoffs and make changes at the end of the season, do they just fire Scott Servais or do they also include Jerry Dipoto and the front office into that equation?

Why do so many of the players they acquire struggle to hit here? Servais seems to get all the blame for the offense, but for some fans he gets no credit for how the pitchers perform. However, Dipoto and the front office get all the credit for the pitching staff, but none of the blame for the offense?

Puck heads out on vacation and will be back on Sept. 2, he asked Brad if the M's will have a deficit that is greater or lesser than five?
