Brock and Salk

We start the show by wondering if Twitter is really dying? We reflect on some of the good and bad that comes with it, but ultimately that it's the best for breaking sports news.  The Mariners make another trade yesterday by sending former Rookie of the Year Kyle Lewis to Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for C/OF Cooper Hummel who Salk says could be another Austin Nola type player. We revisit yesterday's Jerry Dipoto Show with this most recent trade in mind.

Brock called the UW Oregon game this weekend and he had complaints from both sides, we go through them in Mean Tweets. Then, Jerry Dipoto's comments on whether Teoscar Hernandez was their first target gave us a little insight into some of their approach this offseason and Justin and Brock have another edition of Ranked.

Brock & Salk play a clip from Dan Orlovsky and Marcus Spears discussing how scoring across the NFL is down but the rushing is way up despite all of these superstar QBs who can throw the ball. Brock loves the waves of changes the NFL goes through over time. The Jerry Dipoto Show comes on the heels of the Mariners first big offseason move signing of Teoscar Hernandez, so what's next? Salk asks him to explain the thinking behind the trade for Hernandez and what does he think about Kodai Senga's "ghost" forkball?

One trade in and Salk is LOVING the Mariners offseason so far. Teoscar Hernandez is what this lineup was missing and there are 3 reasons why: he hits doubles, he drives in runs and he is well-liked. Salk says the M's still have “pitching surplus" and they haven’t even dipped into free agency yet. Salk wrote an article about how Seahawks Owner Jody Allen deserves far more credit for her role in the Seahawks success this season and explains why. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: what will Hawks self scout identify, who were the best conflict resolution players he ever played with, and what can save Russell Wilson’s season?

The show starts with Salk saying we found the newest petty member of the show based off a Tweet posted last night regarding Russell Wilson and his wristband that was present in his press conference yesterday. Salk starts to discuss why he loves the Teoscar Hernandez trade and we can't believe that he would have lead the Mariners in doubles last year. We revisit yesterday's KJ Wright show to hear his thoughts from Germany and if (and when) the Seahawks should sign Geno Smith to an extension.

Today's episode of the KJ Wright Show covers his time watching the Seahawks & Buccaneers in Germany and what the conversations were like with the former ex-LBs that he traveled with. Brock & Salk ask KJ to explain what he saw on the line of scrimmage and why they weren't able to stop the run, leadership in a locker room and if he's ready for a longterm Geno Smith signing.

Salk was on the radio in Chicago yesterday and asked to explain what the Seahawks did to build around Russell Wilson and admits that he is becoming more and more convinced that this Geno Smith thing is going to happen and it will be at least somewhat long-term. Brock & Salk are joined by Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer to discuss MOY & ROY awards and are interrupted by trade news that the Mariners have acquired OF Teoscar Hernández from Toronto in exchange for reliever Casey Sadler and LHP prospect Adam Macko.

Salk starts the show with a half-rant on why Mariners manager Scott Servais didn't win Manager of the Year, but also why he actually came in 3rd place. Salk offers a few reasons why that might be, but surprise: east coast bias! We revisit yesterday's Pete Carroll Show to set up today's conversation about the Seahawks heading into the bye week.

Brock and Salk discuss reports that the M's are shopping Marco Gonzales and Chris Flexen and willing to trade Jesse Winker. Then, Pete Carroll sits down to discuss their experience in Munich, facing Tom Brady, expecting a less run heavy game script from the Bucs, considering more of future with Geno Smith and Drew Lock and what he's seeing in other successful teams around the NFL this season.
