Brock and Salk

Brock continues previewing Seahawks potential draft picks with a look at USC WR Tahj Washington. Then, we catch up with our old friend the Groz about everything from the Seahawks and Pete Carroll parting ways, to all of the turnover at WSU and UW over the last year to the M's disappointing start to the season.

Gee Scott joins the show for a segment for a small preview of the Ludacris concert that we'll all be attending together tonight. Salk is joined by M's broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith to discuss the opening series and what steps Scott Servais could be taking next.

What do you do if you're Scott Servais right now? The good news is the M's haven't played their best and... they're still 3-4. Brock's Blue 88 covers this new 'Super League' that has Salk very excited. 

The M's seemed to be asleep at the wheel from the jump yesterday and Salk wonders what it will take for a sense of urgency to get this on track given the way last season ended. The Seattle Kraken were officially eliminated from playoff contention yesterday and we revisit the conversation with ESPN's Matt Miller. 

Brock's Draft Profile covers an OL from one of his favorite schools: Cooper Beebe (G) out of Kansas State. M's skipper Scott Servais says they haven't been playing good defense, but they are a good defensive club.. is that true? We finish out with RANKED: Joy.

Jeff Passan shared a story about Ichiro and Julio Rodriguez that leads into a conversation about what does it mean to enjoy the 'journey' of being an athlete - and how do you go about keeping the joy of the journey alive? ESPN's Matt Miller joins the guys to share his insight on where the NFL draft stands today for teams & players. 

The M's defensive issues have already shown their head and Salk says defense in baseball is like special teams in football: you take it for granted until you don’t.  Everyone knows it’s the “third phase” of the game but it is so easy to ignore. Will they improve? Brock & Salk debate the topic of trading DK to the Chiefs for the #32 pick before Brock's Blue 88. 

Is it too early to feel a little concern over the first two starts of Luis Castillo's 2024 season? Salk says not yet, but the M's downgraded their defense at 4 positions so they can't afford to have their pitching fall apart. We revisit the conversation with ESPN's Jeff Passan. 

Jeff Passan joins the show to discuss Julio Rodriguez's special relationship with the fans, the MLB transition away from the fastball, what he saw from the M's first five games, how the Astros stay competitive year after year, and the latest on Shohei Ohtani. Then, we discuss the draw of the LSU Iowa game and the popularity of Caitlin Clark. It feels like a big moment for women's sports. Plus, Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked for you.

Brock & Salk spend some time marveling at the superstar within Julio Rodriguez and the way he plays the game with a never-ending amount of joy and celebration. Speculation continues oh Ohtani after some words from his former manager and we get the next Draft Profile from Brock.
