Brock and Salk

The guys talk about the Mariners win but it still came with a lot of strikeouts - more than Brock is comfortable with - but ask an important question... is this type of winning acceptable? Maura asked Brock & Salk if the the Seahawks have done enough on the OL because there are a lot of 'if' questions to answer before Brock's Blue 88. 

The Mariners were scrappy, feisty, and annoying once again in their victory over the Astros but they were still able to get it done thanks to the old friend 'Chaos' coming back in more than one way. We hear from new Kraken HC Dan Bylsma and Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald before we revisit the conversation with ESPN's Jeff Passan. 

Reacting to Jeff Passan's commentary on how the baseball pendulum has swung so that pitcher's have the advantage and hitting is down across the board. Then, we hear about Brock and Justin's conrasting vacations and discuss what Julio getting going does for this M's lineup. Plus, Salk ranks the Mariners top 5 All Star candidates.

With Brock returning from vacation, Salk fills him in on what he saw at the Seahawks practice last week before being joined by Jeff Passan, Senior MLB Insider at ESPN to discuss the last week of Mariners baseball and how it portends to the future of the division. 

Brock & Salk love what they're seeing from Julio Rodriguez these past few games, but as much as Julio is their best hitter, does it ever seem to you like the offense is more affected by JP than anyone else? Jason Benetti joins the guys to share some memories and stories about his friend Bill Walton before Brock's Blue 88. 

The Mariners were able to secure a victory in game 1 vs the Astros thanks to a solid outing from Bryce Miller and a 3-run first inning, but the bats were quiet after that outburst. The sports world mourns the passing of Bill Walton and the Kraken are set to hire a new coach in Dan Bylsma (currently coaching the Coachella Firebirds) which will be announced today. Salk is joined by Elliotte Friedman (Sportsnet) to discuss the hire.

Shelby Harris gives his candid thoughts on the city of Seattle and his trade to the Seahawks, Roxy Bernstein gives a send-off for the Pac-12 network, Julio Rodriguez might be finding his groove this season, and Maura and Lefko do ranked.

Will an improved offensive line help Geno return to 2022 form? Sad news in the PGA community, and Lefko and Maura play Buy and Sell.
