Brock and Salk

We play a fresh batch of voicemails left on the Seattle Sports app to hear what the people are saying and come across a new Brock & Salk theme song before the always entertaining Gee Scott (97.3 KIRO) joins Salk in-studio to discuss their recent weekend together. 

Salk shares his special upcoming date that he believes is the time he'll be willing to make a declarative statement about the Mariners offense. We hear from Seahawks tight-end (and former Oregon Duck) Pharaoh Brown before Brady Henderson - in for Brock - answers 3 football questions in 'Blue 88.'

The M's drop their second consecutive series on the road trip to the NYY and head to DC for three games vs the Nats, the NCAA makes a titanic financial decision worth billions, and another slip up in the Scottie Schleffler case. Shannon Drayer joins the show from Washington DC.

We discuss Julio Rodriguez being dropped down to number six in the Mariners lineup for today's game. Something needed to happen and hopefully this can fuel soem kind of spark to get him going. Then, Salk discusses Seahawks OTA's, the Storm's win over the Fever and the Mariners loss to the Yankees last night in Need to Know. After that, we are done early to send you to Mariners pre-game.

A full breakdown of the Seattle Storm game experience from Salk and a statement about the future of Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever team followed by a complete slate of takeaways for the Seattle Seahawks practice that he & Maura experienced in-person for the first time with Coach Macdonald. 

Salk shares some quick observations from the first Seahawks practice that he's been able to witness in person under Mike Macdonald before getting to the experience of his first time seeing Caitlin Clark in person vs the Seattle Storm, and the Mariners fall to the Yankees in game 3 of the series behind a HR barrage. We revisit the conversation with the Baseball Beyond Borders founders. 

Jeff Passan said yesterday the M's might have to change their approach to trades and consider a rental in order to get the bat they need. Do you want a first place Mariners team to take a chance on a rental? Then, we meet Bookie Gates and E.C. Parker of Baseball Beyond Borders. They share more about the difference they are making with youth in our community and how you can help. Plus, Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked.

Salk plays his favorite game 'Which is Better' w/ Maura & Justin before being joined by Mariners insider Shannon Drayer from NYC who shares her thoughts on the road trip, Bryan Woo, and if Julio should have a break. 

It is so hard not to overreact to these games, not just because that is always hard in baseball, but because they are coming against the best teams in the AL (on the road!) Salk gives credit to the depth that has been enormously important. Maura takes us Around the NFL before Michael Bumpus joins (in place of Brock) for Blue 88.

Salk is blown away by the Bryan Woo performance in New York vs the Yankees and especially what Dylan Moore and Luke Raley have done since the beginning of May. The Seahawks will hold their first open practice this year as they have another OTA this afternoon and we're all set for the Fever vs Storm. Revisiting the conversation with ESPN's Jeff Passan.
