Mike Salk

 Salk doesn't think there was a benefit to Julio participating in the HR derby. Then, Brock Huard joins the show to discuss Julio's injury and whether last weekend should give the M's more of a sense of urgency at the trade deadline. Plus, another edition of Ranked.

Salk, Justin, and Maura were all at Friday's game and shared observations from the game - including some insane banter happening behind Salk regarding Ken Griffey, JR, but overall the game felt so different without Julio and the feeling he brings to the stadium. With Seahawks Training Camp starting tomorrow, Salk shared his 6 Biggest Seahawks Storylines starting with the pass rush, rookie class, new schemes, Pete empowering others, life without Bobby and Russ, if they ready for the future, and ultimately... if they're trying to win?

Salk isn't happy about what happened this weekend in respect to Julio, but also questions if the momentum snapped by the break? But no Julio, no mojo and a buzzsaw starting pitching lineup from Houston. Salk runs through the possibilities of what caused Julio's injury and wonders if he hurt it sliding in Texas and kept quiet long enough to play in the ASG, but no matter the reason - it still hurt the team. Brock Huard joins to lament the weekend that was and discuss Salk's least favorite sports injuries.

All the hype and excitement about the Mariners following a 14-game winning streak ends with a thud as the M's get swept by Houston at home. Salk can't help but think how much of the reason is due to the absence of your super star, but the Astros pitching was a buzzsaw. Maura takes us Around the Weekend to recap the full series against Houston, a Kraken signing, Seattle Storm highlight and clips of David Ortiz's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

We take your calls on the Mariners weekend series with the Astros and ideas for a Juan Soto trade. Then, Brock is back to hear Salk's answer to his question of what the Seahawks training camp slogan should be and give his thoughts on all of the former players saying the Seahawks have to go after Garoppolo.

Former Mariners CF Mike Cameron knows a thing or two about roaming the outfield in a Mariners jersey and has very high praise for Julio Rodriguez. Salk asks if it was the brawl or him burning sage in the Astros clubhouse that helped the team turnaround. Gee Scott joins Salk in-studio to talk about going to his first Mariners game in years and Maura delivers another song for a generation to Salk.

Should fans think it matters that Bob Nightengale (who Salk calls the Ian Rapapport of baseball) listed the Mariners first in the list of teams making a push for Juan Soto? Salk says no, but they are in a unique position to get this done. We have some fun with a column from Houston Chronicle columnist Matt Young who seems salty about Mariners fans who want to 'boo' the Astros this weekend before we announce the new Seahawks Training Camp 2022 slogan w/ Brock Huard.

Friday has finally arrived and that means the return of Mariners baseball as they try to extend into 15 straight wins. Salk is pretty upset that the team from New York wasn't able to beat the Astros at least once yesterday before Houston comes to town for a 3-game series. We revisit The Jerry Dipoto Show in another attempt to "decode Dipoto" with more discussion around Juan Soto.

Jerry Dipoto joined us in the last hour and discussed the possibility of adding superstar level talent at the deadline. Can we decipher which way the M's might be leaning on Juan Soto from his comments? Then, Maura sings again...sort of. Plus, Salk puts Brock to the test with some rapid fire NFL questions and we're talking parks in Ranked.

In our attempts to try to get Salk to warm up to the idea of Drew Lock and Geno Smith at QB for the Seahawks, we get to know them a little better with some "Name That QB" trivia w/ Maura. Another episode and a LOT to discuss from The Jerry Dipoto Show as he announces the return of Kyle Lewis, injury updates on Mitch Haniger, and what it would take to make a splash signing big names before the trade deadline.
