Mike Salk

Salk has four positives from the Mariners weekend but Brock isn't ready for silver linings so he insists Salk discuss his positives in four different voices to make it more entertaining. Then, Pete Carroll joins the show to discuss yesterday's loss, where he saw growth, what they need to improve on most, and what he saw from Geno Smith.

The Days of Awe are here! Jarred Kelenic was the highlight of the weekend for Salk and we're all rooting for him to succeed, but seeing him actually deliver makes it even better. Once he can finally move into a corner OF spot he could be a huge contributor down the stretch. Salk gets into a biblical analogy and we all come up with things to repent for to fix the woes of the weekend. In Takeaways Brock and Salk bring up the awful 3rd-19 that the defense gave up, how Damien Lewis's struggles may have cost them the game, the Lockett & DK margin for error and much, much more.

Brock & Salk try to figure out what is really happening with the Mariners. Injuries to your best hitters is brutal but it’s not just the bats. Errors, walks, balls lost in the sun and other pitching mistakes? Salk says the pitching is tired already and the weight of the expectations could be mounting. The Seahawks aren’t very good and made worse if your QB can’t strike in the final five minutes, and the defense gave up huge plays. Brock's "Blue 88" gives a grade to Geno Smith’s performance, what changes might we see in personnel after this game and Brock shares his own drone story.

Salk starts the show (live from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center) with a bunch of references of 80's stuff that resonates with people who are bummed and/or looking for excuses not to get up and work today. Feels weird to say that we might have seen back-to-back horrible Seattle Sports weekends with the M's losing the Royals after leading 11-2 with Luis Castillo on the mound. Salk is also furious that Jimmy G played terribly and let Russell Wilson put one last drive together to win the game on SNF. We listen to Pete Carroll's post-game press conference followed by Russell Wilson taking a shot at Pete.

A comfortable and productive Jarred Kelenic would be so amazing that it's tough for Salk to even imagine it, but there was so much to like about his performance yesterday. yesterday and there is a reason this guy was a top five prospect. We come up with reasons that he may not have loved the Gatorade bath. Our guest Greg Bishop's piece on Julio Rodriguez was released today on SI.com and Salk asks him what was biggest thing he learned during research for the story and if he's the new face of baseball. Bob Condotta fills in for Brock Huard's 'Blue 88' and Salk asks him who is leading this team, his interest in the Denver soap opera and what he's learned about Pete/John lately.

Salk is very excited to breathe easily after seeing the offensive firepower return to the Mariners lineup as the M's take down the A's 9-5 in Oakland, but at what cost? The ominous scene of Julio being escorted off the field by trainers haunted Mariners fans and Servais called it "concerning." Jarred Kelenic re-joined the team and had his best game in a long time w/ a HR and 2B. We revisit the conversation with Jerry Dipoto to hear what he had to say about Kelenic and the offensive struggles of the past week.

Now that Brock & Salk have seen a couple weeks worth of NFL football and two games from the Seahawks & Broncos - where does Brock think their records could finish?

Another episode of The Jerry Dipoto Show falls on a day after the M's lose their 2nd rough game in a row and how they can turn it around plus what's happening with Jesse Winker.
