Mike Salk

Former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker joins Salk for the first time since the 2022 Seahawks draft to grade how Pete & John handled their first 1st round pick in a decade, plus how confused he feels by Seahawks fans who are ok with tanking for a shot at a rookie next year. Stacy Rost joins Salk in-studio to discuss comments she made about how fans expect results from years of investment in the Mariners.

Salk has “settled the biggest Seattle sports debate” and by referencing quotes, sound and other evidence as to why Jimmy G is the definitive best choice at QB for the Seahawks in 2022. Salk plays some of Jerry Dipoto’s comments about his relationship with Scott Servais and explains that (although it may not look/feel like this to some M’s fans) this is how good organizations work. Our last day with Robert Turbin (filling in for Brock Huard) covers the some of the comments that Salk used to support his argument for Jimmy G.

After Salk criticized the bottom of the lineup yesterday, of course it was them who come through with the patient at-bats that help complete the sweep… but really it was the A’s to handed the M’s the win. Salk also said it’s only fair that he gives Robbie Ray more credit since he’s been critical of him in the beginning of the year. Salk expects to be talking a lot about Jerry Dipoto after his comments yesterday, so we revisit The Jerry Dipoto Show to set the scene for the day.

After the Jerry Dipoto Show, Salk focuses on two things he heard Jerry say - 1. The relationship he has with Scott Servais and how it's improved this season, and 2. What their intentions are for this year's trade deadline. Salk still believes in the need for a veteran position player who can still contribute with his bat. Revisiting the Robert Turbin conversation to hear him disagree with Salk's assessment of Pete Carroll's philosophy of competition and desires for the QB position.

After Salk's conversation with "The Groz" yesterday and admitting that he's always wanted to be a rock radio DJ, Justin gives "King Mike" his big opportunity to be Banana 101.5's newest afternoon DJ (and does surprisingly well). Back to sports... Salk was very excited for The Jerry Dipoto Show because of how the team has performed the last two days and discusses Winker's success, Cal Raleigh's emergence, his relationship with Manager Scott Servais during times of struggle, and what's ahead in the MLB trade deadline.

Salk brings up a theory he talked about with Boy Howdy re: how the struggles of Jesse Winker are made harder by the fact that he’s the ‘funny, happy, cheery’ guy in the clubhouse and how difficult it is to be that when you’re not helping with your bat. Tim Hasselbeck said Baker would be a Seahawk “by the end of June” and now Josina Anderson fueled the rumors again with her tweet, but Salk asks – why/who sent this report out there? Robert Turbin (in place of Brock Huard) debates Salk on what Pete Carroll really wants from the QB position.

The Mariners win big in Oakland behind a big offensive showing & George Kirby's 6ks, Salk is most impressed to see the production from Winker and admits that this might not be enough to get you hooked again… but it’s enough for a nibble, right? CBS Sports Josina Anderson reports Seahawks are still very interested in Baker Mayfield, but who is it really coming from? Revisiting the conversation with Jeff Passan from yesterday to get his thoughts on Salk's "4 Things" plan for the Mariners.

The conversation about Russell Wilson and former OC Schottenheimer's split and who is to blame, who had who's back when things went south and if it's really just too late for the Seahawks to bring in another QB to compete for the starting job. Of course, Salk says it's never too late. Former Seahawks RB Robert Turbin (in for Brock Huard) talks the difference between college & pro RBs before RANKED: Rings.

Salk isn’t sure what to believe about Corbin Smith’s piece in SportsIllustrated regarding Russell Wilson & who forced the exit of Brian Schottenheimer because it only has one source. At the end of the day, the biggest takeaway is the hard feelings are going to be around for a while.  And that both sides will be sniping and denying. Seattle Sports legend Dave "The Groz" Grosby joins Salk to address his tweets calling for a change w/ the Mariners - specifically Scott Servais.

Salk reacts to comments made by one of his favorite players Manny Ramirez in regards to how fans in Boston/NY make you a better player because they hold them accountable, he also suggests Derek Jeter would be "just another player" if he played in a smaller market like KC. ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan joins Salk to address (and expand on) Salk's "4 Things the Mariners Need." Robert Turbin (in for Brock Huard) talks Ken Walker and what makes a good RB in today's game.
