Sodo Mojo Podcast Episode #004

In episode #004 of the Sodo Mojo podcast, Nick Lee of EmeraldCitySwagger.com and Colby Patnode of sodomojo.com join to discuss a plethora of topics.

First, Mariners ace, Felix Hernandez, hit 93.6 mph in his start for Venezuela in his start on Wednesday. Is this a sign of things to come, or just a one-time thing? Team USA is in the semi-finals of the World Baseball Classic. Does this alter your opinion on the tournament? How excited are you?

Speaking of tournaments, sodomojo.com results from rounds one & two of M’s favorite players bracket. Who made the Sweet 16? The Elite 8? Make sure you find us on Twitter @SodoMojoFS to vote on your favorite M’s.

Then, Nick talks about his Top-50 Mariners series. Did anybody surprise Nick positively or negatively? Be sure to check out Nick’s work at emeraldcityswagger.com.

As we continue our positional preview as we wind down on Spring Training. This week, we break down the Mariners infield. The M’s are set at second and third base. What about shortstop and first base?

What are the realistic expectations for Jean Segura? Can he repeat his 2016 season? Does he need to for the Mariners to make the playoffs?

• Could the Mariners Acquire AL Batting Champion, Luis Arraez?
• Steamer Projections: Julio Rodriguez to enter rarified air in 2023
• What if the Mariners traded FOR Tyler O’Neill this time?

Next, both Nick and Colby are not wild about the reported platoon at first base. What should the Mariners do at the position? Has Daniel Vogelbach done enough in Spring Training to earn a roster spot? Should M’s fans be worried about Danny Valencia’s slow start?

Finally, we tackle a few questions courtesy of Colby’s Little League team in this week’s ” The People’s Voice” segment. We discuss what super power is the best and whether a hot dog is a sandwich (there is only one right answer).

Colby and Nick also “nerd out” on a Star Wars fan theory, and continue to argue pineapple as a pizza topping.
