Brock and Salk

It's not just the Mariners with pitchers on the IL and the guys discuss the importance for pitching depth - but acquiring big-league level pitching is an impossible commodity to find. Joel Klatt was adamant that the Seahawks were in purgatory: not good enough to truly compete for a championship but not bad enough to get to the top of the draft - but is it true? Brock's Blue 88. 

Sad news out of Baltimore to start the show before we get into the Mariners pitcher that will be starting the season on IL - but the news still has a positive angle. M's get a win in one of their final exhibition games vs the Padres and we revisit the conversation with Joel Klatt (FOX). 

Brock brings back his draft profiles leading up to the big day next month. Today, he starts with Penn State TE Theo Johnson. Then, we discuss why none of Mike Macdonald's Ravens players ended up here and whether he has what he needs on this roster to execute his defensive vision. Plus, Justin and alk have an 'orderly' Ranked for you.

Salk shares how he felt watching the Mariners starting rotation walk off the field together after the final spring training game and goes into his 'gut feeling' about how they could be streaky. WSU men's basketball head coach Kyle Smith is headed for Stanford and Brock & Salk talk to FOX Sports' Joel Klatt ahead of the NFL draft. 

The guys react to the final spring training moments in Arizona including the Haniger HR call that Julio experienced live on-air and debate whether or not if the team should come back earlier from the warm weather to acclimate earlier. What do you feel 'good' about, just 'ok' about, and NOT good about with the M's? Brock's Blue 88. 

Getting caught up after a weekend of basketball, Mariners Opening Weekend Warm-Up event, and the ugly Kraken game. Maura takes us Around the Weekend to hit on everything and we learn Ohtani will speak to the media today regarding the gambling scandal. 

We answer questions on March Madness or the College Football Playoffs, crunchy or smooth peanut butter, MLB Opening Day or the first Sunday of the NFL season and more in Which is Better? Then, we tkae your calls and Salk has a food themed Ranked for us today.

When it comes to the 2024 Mariners season... which group will play a bigger role in deciding the success of the team? The nucleus (Julio, Cal, JP, Gilbert, Logan, Luis) or the rest of the roster? Our favorite Gee Scott makes his weekly Friday appearance. 

Salk spends some time discussing the tournament after watching a whole day of games yesterday before reacting to Schneider's comments on whether the Sam Howell addition impacts them drafting a QB and if they would consider bringing Jamal Adams back. Brock's Blue 88. 

Salk is disappointed in Justin for how he plans to tackle the "double Mitch-witch" at T-Mobile Park but the good news is WSU defeats Drake 66-61, Gonzaga rolls to easy victory 86-65 over McNeese, Oakland pulls off biggest upset of the day over KY and the Mariners win over Reds 7-6 last night. Shohei Ohtani's team offers explanation for changing story saying that Mizuhara misled them, and Ohtani didn't realize anything about bank transfers until Mizuhara addressed the team Weds. We revisit the conversation w/ ESPN's Tisha Thompson.
