Brock and Salk

Brock is concerned about the M's strikeout rate over the sweep this weekend. Salk says the strikeout numbers aren't that different than August and its about what they are doing in the at bats where they aren't striking out. Then, we dig into our biggest takeaways from yesterday's Seahawks victory.

Salk says QB’s are judged by wins, big moments, decision making and elevating those around them.  Geno checked every single one of those boxes in Detroit. Then , Brock takes us through why Devon Witherspoon's rookie debut was so impressive and answers three Seahawks questions in Blue 88.

Salk says that felt more like the Seahawks we know. It wasn't perfect but it was a team with a lot of people who stepped up that can build a ton from here. Then, we go over the Seahawks win, the Mariners being swept by the Dodgers and big wins for the Huskies and Cougs in Need to Know. Plus, we take your calls on the Seahawks win over the Lions.

Stacy Rost joins the show to discuss her objection to our conversation on the funniest people here at Seattle Sports yesterday, and her thoughts on whether people are overreacting to the week one loss or not. Then, we take your calls and Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked for you.

Maura creates a Hawks vs. Lions "Buy/Sell" for Salk & Brady before addressing the 'Pete Carroll is too old' crowd. Salk argues the Seahawks haven't gotten a game changer up front since the Frank Clark trade and the debate turns back to draft picks. 

Salk is joined by Brady Henderson to discuss how the Seahawks can bounce-back in Detroit - specifically the offense. Brady believes 'effort' won't be a problem in week 2 and that the pass rush will improve. Brock joins from Ohio for Blue 88. 

Salk admits his take is unfair & too early since we haven't seen Devon Witherspoon in regular action yet, but seeing Jalen Carter play again really makes him wish he was a Seahawk. George Kirby set to take on the Dodgers and we revisit the Jerry Dipoto Show. 

We discuss what stood out from our conversation with Jerry Dipoto. Brock says this M's team is built to do whatever the game calls for in order to win, even more than last year's team. Salk says he can sense the excitement over what the M's have going on in the minors. Then, we dig into some of the comments on our Pete Carroll discussion yesterday. There are reasons to be frustrated but not enough to think that Pete Carroll isn't the man for the job. Plus, Justin and Salk have a jam-packed edition Ranked for you.

Brock & Salk bring back an old favorite for the first time in awhile... Answer the Question, Jerk! before another episode of the Jerry Dipoto Show. 

Brock and Salk discuss the performance of the pitching staff of the M's and how we all hope yesterday was a sign of getting back to dominance. Kevin Kugler will be on the Seahawks call in Detroit and joins the show to discuss the huge matchup vs. the Lions before Brock's Blue 88.
