Brock and Salk

Salk asks his Shakespearean Mariners question regarding the future of Teoscar Hernandez before finally getting to hear the AZ Cardinals HC sound from Johnathan Gannon about wanting players with a "fire in their gut" which immediately takes Salk off the rails. 

M's let the series slip away against the Mets, but more alarming were two starts by your top pitchers - Kirby & Castillo - who faltered. Julio Rodriguez wins AL Player of the Month, Andres Munoz wins AL Reliever of the Month. The Pac-12 teams crushed week 1 and Brock feels conflicted with Deion Sanders & the Colorado Buffaloes.

M's insider Shannon Drayer joins the show to discuss the Mets series and Jarred Kelenic beginning his rehab assignment. Then, we take your calls and Ryan Rowland-Smith gives us his top 5 moments during the stretch that got the M's to where they are now in Ranked.

Ryan & Lefko discuss the imminent return of OF Jarred Kelenic as he made his first rehab start in Tacoma last night before a round of the Pitch Clock question game. Can the Mariners to pull away from the Astros?

Lefko & Ryan Rowland-Smith discuss the current AL West race and what will matter the most down the stretch to determine who gets the first-round bye and who ends up in the wild card. Mariners broadcaster Gary Hill joins the show from New York to preview the Mets series before Blue 88 with Michael Bumpus (in for Brock).

Mike Lefko in for Salk this morning and sets the stage for the Mariners in first place in the AL West with the tiebreaker over Houston and Texas being within a game going into the final month of the regular season before revisiting the Jerry Dipoto Show. 

We react to Jerry Dipoto giving us a peek behind the curtain of how the waiver wire works. Then, Brock and Salk discuss how the past has made some of us hesitant to go all in on the Mariners this year. At this point, is there any reason left to doubt this team? Plus, Justin and Salk have a very long list in Ranked!

Brock & Salk spend some time on the doubting voices within the Mariners fan-sphere before being joined (a day early) by Gee Scott to discuss the future of some Seahawks rookies, followed by Brock's Blue 88. 

Not even the 2001 Mariners team won 21 games in the month of August, but the upcoming road trip isn't going to be easy. Salk is enjoying that this team is the "best ever" in the month at least. We revisit the conversation with M's manager Scott Servais. 

Brock & Salk use a golf analogy to describe the way this Mariners season has been unfolding and how important their focus has been in big moments. Another episode of The Jerry Dipoto Show delivers injury updates, waiver information and how throwing strike-one is the first step of M's success.
