Are the Sounders better or is the bar just lower?
The Seattle Sounders picked up another point with a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy, simultaneously extending their unbeaten run and their winless run. We'll revisit Jackson’s optimistic take from last week, then tackle the topic once again of whether the Sounders are actually showing signs of meaningful improvement, or simply looking better after hitting rock bottom.We’ll also break down the performances of Jordan Morris, Paul Arriola, Cristian Roldan, Snyder Brunell and Albert Rusnák, discuss the latest injury scare involving Dejan Joveljić, and look ahead to a crucial matchup with the Colorado Rapids.Plus, after Jackson signs off, Ari goes around MLS with five teams that nailed the summer transfer window.Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.comFollow Lobbing Scorchers:YouTubeInstagramBlueskyTikTokFacebookAri LiljenwallNoah RiffeSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Kickoff: Are the Seattle Sounders running out of time?
The Seattle Sounders are running out of time. After another frustrating result with Saturday's 0-0 draw against the New York Red Bulls at Lumen Field, we break down where things stand as Seattle’s MLS winless streak continues. The result was nowhere near good enough, but was the performance actually a step forward? We dig into the Sounders’ chance creation, Ethan Horvath’s monster night in goal, the discourse around Seattle’s xG and whether there are finally some signs that the attack is moving in the right direction.We also break down the returns of Jordan Morris, Cristian Roldan and Paul Arriola, give some flowers to Sebastián Gómez, and ask a bigger question as the season reaches crunch time: Who’s passing the audition? With Seattle increasingly needing to think about which pieces are part of the solution going forward, we'll look at the players raising their stock before finishing with a preview of Saturday’s trip to face the LA Galaxy. #KOSubscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.comFollow Lobbing Scorchers:YouTubeInstagramBlueskyTikTokFacebookAri LiljenwallNoah RiffeSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Kickoff: Can Dejan Jovelic lift Seattle out of their slump?
The Seattle Sounders' winless run continued in Matchday 23 with a 2-2 draw vs. Chicago Fire FC at Lumen Field, but the Rave Green did get a memorable club debut from new No. 9 Dejan Jovelic. Does the super Serbian raise Seattle's ceiling in the race for trophies in 2026, or will it take more for the squad to emerge from its summer doldrums? That's one of the topics we'll discuss, along with the continued emergence of Sebastian Gomez, a look at the center back situation and the potential impact of the injury returns of Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris.Later on, we'll jump around the league to discuss a standout performance from Philadelphia Union rising star Cavan Sullivan, a four-goal outburst from Lionel Messi, and a tense interaction between Chucky Lozano and Mikey Varas' in the LA Galaxy's match against San Diego FC.☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee, a Seattle-based roaster, coffee shop, and coffee subscription service.

An Open Letter to Adrian Hanauer
Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe react to Adrian Hanauer's open letter to Sounders supporters, breaking down what the majority owner actually said, what he chose to leave out, and whether the messaging matches the moment for a fan base that has watched the season slip away. Lobbing Scorchers digs into whether the Sounders will actually add another reinforcement before the window closes. New signing Dejan Joveljić could give the attack the presence it has been missing, but with midfield questions still unresolved and injury risk piling up across the roster, is one striker really enough to salvage the playoff push? Ari and Noah round out the show with the results of a Lobbing Scorchers supporter poll, getting into who actually filled it out, why supporters still stand behind Brian Schmetzer despite the results, the growing criticism of Sounders spending, and the worsening sentiment across the fan base.Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.comFollow Lobbing Scorchers:YouTubeInstagramBlueskyTikTokFacebookAri LiljenwallNoah RiffeSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Kickoff: A new striker after all?
With the Seattle Sounders finally reportedly pursuing a No. 9, we're breaking down the big news and what it could mean for a Sounders team that just broke the longest losing streak in club history.
