On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the show joined by the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore from He-Shed in Bend, Oregon and they spend their time raving about the Mariners game two win against Detroit.  Puck describes what the atmosphere was like inside the stadium and how electric the environment was.  They chat about Jorge Polanco’s two home run game, Julio’s “clutch” factor, Dan Wilson’s managerial moves and the reality that Seattle now has the advantage in the series.  

After Puck says goodbye to Jim, he says hello to Michael-Shawn Dugar from The Athletic to discuss the Seahawks loss to the Bucs.  What is happening to Mike Macdonald’s defense against good offenses?  How much were injuries to blame for the loss?  Sam Darnold continues to shine in the beginning part of the season.  Mike and Puck also discuss the Seahawks weird obsession with Jalen Milroe and Devon Witherspoon is headed for an MRI and that’s never good news. 

Back to baseball  as Bill Krueger, host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast, and Puck discuss the Mariners game two win against Tarik Skubal and how they did it.  Louis Castillo was just good enough and the bullpen did their job for the most part.  So far, Julio and Cal are carrying the offense like the superstars they are but they’ll need more from others if they want to advance.  Logan Gilbert gets the ball in game three and Bill is supremely confident in how he will perform. 

Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?”   Mariners fans delivered this weekend!
