Brock and Salk

Maura talks to new Seahawks DT Johnathan Hankins about why he chose to come to Seattle, what he loves about playing for DC Aden Durde, his style of play, the level of talent on this defense and why he started his own You Tube channel. Then, we take your calls and Justin and Salk have a dapper Ranked for you.

Mariners GM Justin Hollander sat down with Bump & Stacy yesterday where he admitted the offensive struggles have been frustrating, but what will they do to fix it? Our weekly Friday experience with Gee Scott is (another) wild ride with Seahawks observations and predictions.

The guys discuss the M's offensive woes over the last month and Salk reminds us all of his June 6th date when he will make a 'definitive' statement about the offense once the series vs the A's is over. Maura shares some observations from Seahawks practice and which WR seems to be making an early show with Geno followed by Brock's Blue 88. 

Salk opens the show with some thoughts on country music before finally getting into the Mariners results from last night and how rough the offense has been over the past month, yet somehow still winning games. We hear from Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald after yesterday's practice and revisit the conversation w/ former UW HC Chris Petersen.

We discuss Nick Baumgardner's comments on Mike Macdonald's attention to detail and discuss how different this team could look from Pete Carroll's more fast and loose approach. Then, we talk about why the Mariners bats get better lat in games and Justin and Salk bring you a frothy Ranked.

We play some of the new 'Here's the Thing' messages left for Brock & Salk via the Seattle Sports App before being joined by former UW Head Coach Chris Petersen to share observations from the Seahawks practices and his own insights into how you take over a program. 

As we get a lot closer to June, Brock & Salk discuss how they can see the Mariners slowly turning from “patience” and “early” to something more immediate and actionable, but the Garver issue seems like the biggest. Brock outlines the two most competitive Seahawk position groups in Blue 88. 

An amazing pitchers duel leads to an amazing 10-inning walk-off win from JP Crawford as the M's win the first 3 of 4 games vs the Astros, but there was one very interesting decision Scott Servais made that has people stirring. We learn about the discipline that should be coming to the Seahawks by way of Mike Macdonald.

Shannon Drayer joins Brock and Salk to discuss why she thought last night was a really good win for the Mariners, the M's impressive home record so far, whether this team has more depth than recent seasons, why Servais is calling up some of the younger guys over veterans and if she can feel a difference in this version of the Astros compared to their last few years. Then, we discuss what's next for the Kraken this offseason after finding their new head coach. Plus, Brock is doing Ranked today and he is beyond pumped for it.

Brock & Salk debate the offensive difficulties for the Mariners and how they've been able to navigate their issues but remaining in the W column - but is it a fair grade when offense is down around the entire league? Maura takes us Around the NFL and we hear from LPGA Lexi Thompson who announced her retirement from the sport.
