Mike Salk

The news yesterday regarding the Pac-12 shakeup is absolutely devastating for the Huskies & Cougs and Salk points the finger directly at Larry Scott for allowing it to get to this point, but says the sport was not built for this kind of money. Salk's interview with Jarred Kelenic covered a lot of ground between his process, voices in his ear and his emotional state. Speaking of emotions... Brock Huard has a lot to share about yesterday's Pac-12 news.

Salk is excited for Friday & the July 4th holiday this weekend plus another good Mariners win and as Scott Servais says - "it's so much more fun when you're winning." Mariners now find themselves 4.5 games back with 3 left against Oakland before a final road trip to go until the All-Star break. We revisit the Jerry Dipoto Show to hear his praise for the past 10 games and how he sees Julio, Salk then teases his one-on-one interview w/ Jarred Kelenic.

Salk is going down to Tacoma to talk to Jarred Kelenic this afternoon a day after the M's chose to call up Marcus Wilson, but Salk loves it for what that says about how they're handling Kelenic's long-term development after they brought him up too early, according to Salk. Mariners Pres. of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto joins for another episode of The Jerry Dipoto Show to dive into the brawl, Ty France's injury, acquiring Carlos Santana and Jarred Kelenic's progress among many other things.

Mariners win the series & Salk loved to see the variety of offense in yesterday's game - from Haggerty's bunt to Julio's 431ft blast - it was satisfying to watch an offense click and the starting pitching continue to impress. Salk says he can write a script where if the offense continues to get healthy and Winker's numbers climb... they could be flirting with that Wild Card again. Brock Huard joins to discuss Salk's "moral dilemma" and tries to find a comp for Julio Rodriguez.

Salk is in a good mood as the Mariners get another great win at home in the matinee game vs. the Orioles and everybody is excited that Maura has returned from vacation! She was marveling at how quickly the tides turned on Winker after the fight in Anaheim but happy to see his offense turning around. We revisit the conversation with ESPN's Jeff Passan to get a bigger perspective on this team before hearing one of the weirdest traveling stories from Maura about an insane person on her airplane.

A couple of former teammates of Jimmy G in New England call Jimmy G "soft" and some other choice words, so Salk asks if being called soft is among the worst insults to be called in the game? Others might include "rat" or "corrupt," but soft is right up there. We revisit our earlier conversation with Brock Huard to hear his thoughts (and maybe projections) on Drew Lock before RANKED: Top 5 Irons.

Baker Mayfield has made it known that both sides, him and the Browns are ready to move on, but Salk also wonders if all the comments and "rumors" we've been hearing about recently are actually coming from Baker's camp. Salk speaks to Mariners 1B Ty France about his push towards the 2022 All-Star game and how he's progressing through the elbow injury that has him sidelined. Friday night is Fireworks night at T-Mobile Park and Salk loves fireworks... but only the professional shows.

We may have a new sports insult that is worse than being called 'soft' and Salk explains why. ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan joins Salk for his weekly appearance and discusses MLB fights and if the 'real' Jesse Winker is what we've been seeing over the last few weeks of improved play. Brock Huard follows Passan with his own projections regarding Drew Lock and his perceived raw deal in Denver.
