Colt Emerson gets the call! But on a down note, the Seattle Mariners get swept by the San Diego Padres. With the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals looming ahead what do we need to see from this team to get turned around?

The Seattle Mariners are running into a serious problem, and it starts with Luis Castillo. After another rough outing in the Mariners’ series loss to the Chicago White Sox, questions are beginning to grow around Seattle’s veteran starter and whether the former ace can still be trusted at the top of the rotation.

We also discuss:

• Seattle Mariners losing a brutal series to the White Sox
• Castillo’s recent starts and rising ERA concerns
• Why the Mariners’ pitching staff suddenly looks vulnerable
• Bryce Miller’s return and the possible six-man rotation
• Whether moving Castillo to the bullpen could actually help Seattle
• Randy Arozarena frustrations and defensive mistakes
• The AL West standings and why the division is still wide open
• Why the original Luis Castillo trade was still worth it for Seattle

Can the Mariners bounce back against the Houston Astros and save their season momentum before things spiral further? Or is this the beginning of a much bigger issue for Seattle’s playoff hopes?
