Brock and Salk

The Cleveland series confirmed that the Mariners lineup just doesn't stack up against other contenders. Who do you want them to target and who are you willing to give up? Then, we take your calls and Taylor Jacobs joins us for a special Ranked on his last day at Seattle Sports.

The Marlins are starting three lefties in Trevor Rogers, Jesus Lazardo, Braxton Garrett… will Luke Raley not start a single game? David Schoenfeeld wrote about the longest All-Star positional drought for every team and the Mariners are not in a place you'd like to hear. As usual, our weekly Friday experience with Gee Scott is a wild ride!

There is a clear talent gap between the Guardians & M’s but where do they fall in the AL teams ranking? Lefko & Brock get into some Mariners trade deadline ideas and highlight the Rays who seem like a very good trade partner and another player who just seems like he's already a Mariner before Brock's Blue 88. 

The Mariners fall in 'illuminating' loss of game 3 for their first series loss in awhile but is there a glass-half-full way of looking at things? 

We listen through the best of the voice memos you left us on the app in "Here's the Thing". Then, Brady and Brock discuss Tom Brady's comments on getting the ball to your playmakers, whether Dak Prescott could be a future Seahawk and if there could ever be a QB salary cap in Around the NFL.

Brock get some stuff off his chest and makes an airport-food statement that gives everybody some pause. Our Mariners insider Shannon Drayer joins us from Cleveland to share some thoughts on Game 2 before Brock & Brady's Blue 88.

Not great news out of Cleveland as the M's get crushed and Bryan Woo talked post-game about how he felt physically after 4 innings of work and Emerson Hancock was removed mid-game in Tacoma. Brady Henderson (in for Salk) asks Brock how he feels about JP Crawford's ejection and we learn Los Angeles Sparks rookie forward Cameron Brink suffered a torn ACL in her left knee Tues against Connecticut and will miss the rest of the season. We revisit the conversation with NFL analyst Brian Baldinger. 

It would have been very hard to convince someone that the M's would be 10 games up in the division with Julio having the lowest slugging percentage in the lineup. We discuss the contributions they're getting from guys like Luke Raley and Dylan Moore. Then, Brock and Lefko debate whether the Seahawks should give DK Metcalf an extension next year and Lefko talks office etiquette in Ranked. 

The guys talk about Bryce Miller's outing and expectations for Bryan Woo after seeing Miller face a lineup with 8 lefties and seeing him navigate jams. Former NFL offensive lineman and current analyst joins the guys to share what he sees with this current Seahawks team and what the evolution of the defense should look like under Coach Macdonald. 

It was a great offensive day for the Mariners but they had to use 5 relievers including Munoz for another 5 out save of the season (his third), so should the M's be looking to add another arm as well? Former MLB catcher & current Fox Sports analyst A. J. Pierzynski joins the guys to talk about the M's 10-game lead before Brock's Blue 88.
