Brock and Salk

We talk prawns vs shrimp, better starting pitcher mustaches and best team dogs with a little game of Which is Better?  The M's aren't a bad team but they aren't as good as the best teams right now. What is your level of concern and what are the options? Plus, Justin and Salk have a fiery edition of Ranked for you.

We start the hour discussing the latest article about the wild Aaron Rodgers article in The Athletic and how lucky we are to not be dealing with QB drama. Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer joins Salk to discuss what she's seen the past couple days vs. the Yankees before Ray Roberts (in for Brock Huard) answers 3 football questions in Blue 88.

Justin and Maura ask Salk some Buy or Sell questions, including DK Metcalf's odds of beating Tyreek Hill, a potential deal to bring back Carson Soucy, and how many all-stars the Mariners will have. Then, we discuss whether the Mariners offense is starting to turn a corner and Justin and Salk have a Ranked themed around a Mariners nemesis.

Lindsey Thiry wrote a piece on trying to build a roster around a franchise QB and used a quote from Pete Carroll about the "dynamics of the structure of your roster" and how it shifts, leading to the obvious question: did the Seahawks make a decision on Russ or on strategy? ESPN's Jeff Passan makes his weekly appearance.

The Mariners are playing... 'good' ...but when will they take off? How beautiful would it be to see Kelenic & Julio synced up? There is going to need to be some movement in the bullpen soon because of Andres Munoz and Penn Murfee's imminent return, but who? Michael Bumpus in for Brock's Blue 88.

Bryce Miller felt the wrath of the Yankees and the M's fall behind Aaron Judge's 2 HR (and 1 HR robbed) day, but the biggest story is that Julio has reemerged as a good hitter again. We are reminded by the 'as Julio goes, the season goes' from Jeff Passan so this is encouraging. We ask Seattle Sports fans to answer how they feel about the season through 1/3 of the season.

Mariners have struggled against the better teams. Upcoming Yankee series is huge. Can they win? The AL central is a disaster except the Twins. // NTK Mariners big series win, Jimmy Butler free throws = kaboom! Fun stretch for UW. Heather Tarr is a fantastic coach. // Shannon Drayer joins the show to talk Mariners.  Doesn't matter who the M's swept. It's about momentum.  Julio is on a 7 game hit streak. Shannon compliments the 710 crew. M's looking for a lefty in the bullpen. Dylan Moore update?

Mariners meeting Yankees and Rangers this week. The AL is really tough and every game is crucial. Julio holding the trident! Julio (thanks, Jarred Kelenic) has a really good mental approach.  All star push happening. // NTK Mariners bounce back with a rocket to left field.  Celtics force game 7. // The NFL is not scripted, contrary to online conspiracies. // Lefko and Maura play their own version of Ranked.  The joys of a HOT mic. Jewel vs Fergie, no contest.  Maura is predicting Geno Smith will throw over 30 TD's this year.
