Brock and Salk

Brock and Salk take a look at what has been the cause of the Mariners strong first month and the difference in some of the numbers from now and a year ago at this time. After that, Brian Baldinger joins the show to share what stood out to him about the Seahawks draft. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on who the home run value picks were for the Seahawks, players number choices and Shedeur Sanders.

Salk opens the hour by reacting to an early 2026 NFL mock draft that has the Seahawks picking at No. 12 (six spots worse than 2025), pondering who the Seahawks biggest star is and talking about the Mariners stretch of early success with April coming to close. Then, they re-air their conversation with Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network to get all of his thoughts and breakdown of the Seahawks draft.

We discuss Daniel Jeremiah's take on the Seahawks getting steals due to injuries with day three selections, Riley Mills and Tory Horton. Then, injuries are stacking up for the M's. Could their aggressive approach be difficult to mantain all season? Plus, we offer up our Trash Takes for the week and Salk selects a winner.

The hour starts by going through a round of Buy Or Sell featuring a few Seahawks and Mariners topics. Later, Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network joins the show to break down what he liked about the Seahawks draft class, breaking down nearly every pick and describing what the upside of several of these players can be.

Brock and Salk discuss the Mariners contiuned hot streak with the offense continuing to lead the charge and they discuss what the reasons are behind it. After that, Shannon Drayer joins the show to give all of her takeaways on Jorge Polanco, the flurry of recent injuries and plenty more.

Jorge Polanco is the hottest hitter in baseball and single-handedly carried the Mariners to a win over the Angels, so Salk opens the show by talking about it. Then, they re-air their conversation with Jeff Passan of ESPN in which they dive in on Jorge Polanco, Logan Gilbert and more.

We discuss some of the positive reaction to the Seahawks draft picks from the national media and the idea that they drafted a nice mix of floor and ceiling. Then, Steve Hutchinson  joins us to discuss what his role with the team consists of,  their first round draft pick, Grey Zabel, and how he sees this O-line developing this season.

Brock and Salk wonder how much the new offensive approach and philosophy for the Mariners, along with the new hitting coaches, are the reason behind the Mariners recent offensive success. Later, Jeff Passan of ESPN joins the show to discuss the Mariners recent hot streak, Jorge Polanco, Logan Gilbert's injury and more.

Brock and Salk describe what they have loved so far about the Mariners offense during this hot stretch that they've been on. Then, they look through what the Seahawks are still missing in order for them to follow the 2012 script where the team made themselves great as a result of drafting at such a high level. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on why picking up Charles Cross' fifth-year option was a no-brainer, what the tells are when it comes to rookie camp and the undrafted free agents that the Seahawks signed and where did the Seahawks final GPA grade for their draft compared to others.

Salk reacts to some sound from Eric Edholm who suggests that the Seahawks draft is a mix of high floor and high ceiling, which only gets him that much more excited. After that, they re-air their conversation in which they go through some superlatives of the Seahawks draft, including the highest upside pick, the most prototypical Mike Macdonald pick and several others.
