What does your lineup look like when Julio returns? Does Kelenic stay in left field? Salk has a lot of scenarios and examples of how it could look on Monday if Julio returns on time which it sounds like he will.

Brock & Salk are glad to get the magic number down to three but it sure felt like too much of the same last night. Brock "found" us some more cringey sound of Russell in Denver who discussed his "State of the Union" that he held with teammates and Brock asks if we overlooked the narcissism when he was here, Salk says yes because he was winning. Brock's Blue 88 answers why KJ pointed to Jamal Adams as such a huge blow to their defensive scheme, questions around the Seahawks sale and if the Hawks do change their scheme - who benefits the most?

Salk starts the show by saying he slept a little better last night but the M's did not fully convince him that they're 'back' but at least the O's are also starting to lose and helping the Mariners creep closer to the playoffs, and they could clinch a birth as soon as Friday. We revisit the KJ Wright Show to get a players perspective on the current state of the Seahawks, what changes need to be made on defense and how the Seahawks can beat the Lions on Sunday.

The M's have had bad stretches and good stretches this year, they need to show us who they really and go after this playoff opportunity to round out the season. Then, Brock discusses UW's win over Stanford and moving up to number fifteen in the rankings in Washington Wednesday and Ranked is themed around a little something we hope the Mariners can conjure up.

Another fantastic episode of the KJ Wright Show and the topics fly all over the place, but starts with how much would he intervene with defensive meetings/install? Why did KJ's defenses - especially in your later - years seem to make mistakes season adjustments and improve? Who has impressed KJ defensively? What are the critical issues to face before Sunday's matchup vs. the Lions? Which 3 former teammates would KJ want in their prime? And what the heck is Jiggy Rigging!?

Frustration over the Mariners is mounting and Brock asks if an ump like last night can throw you off your game when your goal is to control the zone, but Salk is not taking any excuses for poor hitting. ESPN's Senior MLB Insider Jeff Passan joins Brock & Salk to address the way the Mariners have been playing and Passan tries not to jinx anything with his answers. Brock's Blue 88 answers the 3 football questions: What is one of the most alarming stats for this Seahawk defense? Will the Seahawks be for sale in 2024? Beyond the scoring and offensive production what/who else is the reason for UW's success?

There is not much to say after last night's horrific loss to the Mariners but Salk thinks its time to start backing up the truck. Another complete lack of offense by the bats and one young star on the Rangers drop the M's 5-0, but the Orioles also lost which drops the "magic number" to 5, but Salk doesn't want the team even looking at the scoreboard. Salk asks what Scott should do at this point, but Justin thinks this is up to the players to motivate themselves & each other to finish strong.
