The Seattle sports team in this town are boring to watch, and that's not a good sign. Should Julio have been put in this position in the first place? He probably should've had the day completely off.  Are you glass half full or glass half empty when it comes to the Mariners right now?   PORTAL UPDATE!  Myles Rice is officially off to Indiana and Ian doesn't know why he landed there. Plus, several other athletes are entering and the NCAA has to figure things out.   MollyWhop Monday!

Masters is windy. It looks as though Dave Hakstol might be out as the Kraken head coach. Heidi Watney, Apple TV joins us to tell us to preview the Cubs vs. Mariners series tonight, as she'll be on the field for the game. She gives us a take on the Mariners from an outside perspective. Heidi doesn't think the Mariners need to worry at this point of the season, and would feel worse as an Astros fan right now. She has true belief in the Mariners as the rotation is one of the best and the bats will come around. Finally, she tells us how to get Apple TV for FREE! (for two months). We learned of OJ Simpson's passing yesterday and Ian wants to know what the first thing that comes to your mind is when you hear his name.

Uchenna Nwuosu, Seahawks LB joins the show and is feeling pretty strong right now, following his rehab from a torn pec last season. He says Pete Carroll is a legend and it was sad to see him go. However he has many accolades to give the new coaching staff. We officially start the show, since we're thankful Uchenna Nwuoso for carving out some time. Thank you to Chris Crawford for doing an awesome job yesterday! It was great to see what the Mariners did yesterday.

Chris is excited to be here today, but he's conflicted by the disappointment that the Mariners have brought early on in this season. How patient can fans be with ownership and management? What's the concern level for the pitching staff right now, especially those expected to be the leaders? Meg Rowley, FanGraphs joins the show to give a realistic perspective on the Mariners right now.

The two best teams in the country won the women's and men's NCAA tournaments this year, and the difference between 1-2 was quite apparent.   Donald Watts joins to give us insight on the future of college basketball as we wrap up the season. Watts is appreciative of everything we got to see in both men's and women's basketball this year. He tells us what he saw Caitlin Clark do for the sport.

Ian shares some memories.   Bobby Casper, CBS Golf Analyst joins to give us a preview of this year's masters, as well as how much the course has changed over the years. We're anticipating quite a lot of rain this year, so it'll be interesting to see how it affects the tournament. Is there a divide between those that chose to go with LIV and those who didn't? Bobby tells us who he likes out of those still chasing the green jacket.   How can we appropriately evaluate the Mariners as they stand at this point of the season? The Daily Power Play!   Gary Parrish, CBS Sports gives us a recap of the NCAA season that was, what made UConn successful throughout this season and what next year might look like. Between the women's and men's title games, those that didn't win had a star player, but not a star team. The best player on Purdue couldn't beat an entire great team in UConn.
