Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

There's a lot going on on this busy Monday, but the biggest story today is the Huskies' baseball team making the College World Series for the first time in program history. Last night's game against CS Fullerton got kind of crazy, but they pulled it off in extra innings. Earl Thomas is holding out, which isn't too surprising, and at this point isn't too impactful. Should the Hawks sign him, trade him, or let him sit out? And is this as big of a deal as when Kam sat out a few years ago? Huskies closer Alex Hardy talks about his team's big win last night, and the first-ever appearance in the College World Series.

Usually fans seem to side with the team during player disputes, but our poll suggests that maybe people are on Earl's side. Softy says if we're going to get rid of him, we should try to trade him now and get what value we can. The M's continue to dominate, going 4-2 on their road trip. Bill Krueger of ROOT Sports talks about it as he does every Monday at 4:20. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show.

The Sounders desperately needed a win and they finally got one over the weekend. Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer talks about the win and the return of some key players. We play back some We play back the best sound bytes you might have missed on Hey, Did You Hear That? Shohei Ohtani could be sidelined until 2020 if he has to undergo Tommy John surgery. He's obviously got all the tools, but with the injuries, it seems like the Mariners might have dodged a bullet. The M's are back home, beginning a series against the Angels. We get you ready for tonight's game on Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show.

Tonight is Game 4 of the NBA Finals, between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. We were pretty confident that Cleveland would take Game 3 and that obviously didn't happen. Now, we're pretty confident Golden State is going to finish the series tonight. Corey Brock of The Athletic joins us as he does every Friday to discuss the Mariners. Shohei Ohtani has been placed on the DL, which is relevant because the M's play the Angels next week. No one goes around rooting for players to get injured, but let's be honest, we're not exactly disappointed when we don't have to face the other team's top guys. Do you think Angels fans are disappointed they don't have to face Cano? Mariners starting pitcher Mike Leake joins the show to talk about his last few phenomenal starts, the M's pitching staff, and the inspiration behind this year's Mariners magic.

The Oregon State Beavers have made the super regionals, and Luke Heimlich gets the start for them today. The MLB Draft took place earlier this week, and had things gone as expected, Heimlich likely would have been a top 10 pick. Instead, he went undrafted. Heimlich had pleaded guilty to molesting a relative, but has since publicly claimed he's innocent. It seems no MLB team wants to take the risk on Heimlich. Given the circumstances of the case, should he be given a chance to play professional baseball? Textimonials respond to the controversial Luke Heimlich discussion.

UW baseball coach Lindsay Meggs discusses his team who are just one win away from the College World Series. On Hey, Did You Hear That? we bring you the best sound bytes of the day that you may have missed. On today's segment: George Hill on LeBron James, LeBron takes a shot at Portland, the Capitals final radio call, T.J. Oshie talking about his dad, and T.O. responds to being called needy. Finally we open the Softy and Dick Sportsbook just minutes before Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The Mariners lost to the Astros last night. Nicasio didn't look so great after having a string of great outings. The offense though, kept the team in the team up until the very end. There's something to be said for a team that can keep it close and give you hope, even when they lose. Is Frank Clark holding out? Cliff Avril seemed to think so, but he also pointed out that these hold-outs rarely work. Clark needs to show up to minicamp next week. A radio producer in Buffalo kept his promise and quit his job after the Bills drafted Josh Allen. Adam says he'll quit his job of the Mariners win the World Series. For what should other KJR producers put their jobs on the line? KJR's own Seahawks reporter Curtis Crabtree discusses the Frank Clark situation, and the team's pass rush.

Cleveland loses once again last night, and they're probably done. Softy says if he were Dan Gilbert, he'd fire Lue right now, before Game 4. After the poor defensive showing last night, the end of Game 1, and not being able to keep track of time outs, he doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on. Are the Seahawks really going to get rid of paper tickets? Rumor has it that they're going to push for everyone to show proof of purchase on their phones. You'll still be able to get paper tickets, but it'll cost you. There's always been something great about getting those season tickets in the mail before every season, and being able to collect ticket stubs from big games. It looks like that might be a thing of the past now. Could Kevin Durant really be a top 5 all-time NBA player? Last night's performance made it clear that he could end up in that category. A high school golfer in South Dakota lost her school the state championship when she self-reported a scorecard error. Textimonials respond to today's show.

The Mariners took the first game in the short two-game series against the Astros last night. They're now 38-22, off to the third-best start through 60 games in franchise history. Almost everyone under the age of 25 doesn't even remember what it's like to be here at this point in the season. Mariners pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. talks about the team's dominant pitching staff, but reminds us that it's only June. An Astros fan is enraged over Mike Zunino's home run in last night's game.

Would you rather win the Pac-12 Tournament, or make it to the Sweet 16? Softy says the conference tournament doesn't mean as much; Dick disagrees. Petros Papadakis says that Mariners fans should temper their enthusiasm, especially since it's only June. Textimonials respond to the question, Sweet 16 or conference champions?
