On today’ Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore open the show talking about the Mariners and another one run loss.  Jim is skeptical that they will make the playoffs, but Puck is more optimistic because the season is not 40 games in. The boys also react to the best press conference they’ve seen involving the Toronto Maple Leafs, Delta Airlines ditches snacks and Oregon State athletics is raising a ton of money! 

Puck then welcomes the father of Atlanta Braves pitcher, J.R. Ritchie to the show.  Ian Ritchie and his family reside in Bainbridge Island and Ian talks about watching his son pitch against his hometown team and what its like as a father to watch your son go from Little League to the Big Leagues.
