About this episode

Lyle and TJ discuss the issues with the piggyback pitching strategy and analyze Logan Gilbert's performance heading into the 2026 season.

Lyle and TJ (recording a day early on Monday) have seen enough of the piggyback after the pushback from both Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo. They discuss why this is an issue, and analyze the disconnect between Mariners players and leadership (2:30). They then break down Logan Gilbert's 2026 season, and why he seems to be a tick off from his peak self (35:36).
