Mike Salk

National MLB writers Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman have said the "Mariners are Fool’s Gold" and criticized the team for their 21 year playoff drought, but is that just because of East coast bias? Jeff Passan joins Mike Lefko & Michael Bumpus and stands by his belief that the Mariners are a better team than they've shown, and Julio is the real deal. Brock Huard joins from the Air Force Academy Graduation ceremony to address the story regarding a potential sale of the Seahawks franchise.

Mike Lefko & Michael Bumpus filling in for Mike Salk and the show starts with a recap of the Mariners loss, but the upside was the return of Kyle Lewis (who went 2-for-4) & Julio Rodriguez's 2-run HR (back-to-back nights with HR) and George Kirby's 9 K effort. Writer and radio host John Canzano reports that the Trailblazers & Seahawks are to be sold after the death of Paul Allen. We revisit the conversation Joe Fann conversation before Bumpus dishes on the new faces in the Seahawks WR group.

Salk says watching Julio Rodriguez develop makes it feel inevitable that he will be the guy who leads this team into the playoffs someday. Waiting stinks, but having this guy rocks. Salk still thinks he needs some combination of middle-aged and older veterans to help. Maura & Justin give Salk his "L" for our weekly 'Take the L' accountability session before Brock Huard joins Salk and Bump to talk about the Seahawks OTAs and Julio Rodriguez.

Michael Bumpus joins Salk and is happy to see a Mariners win last night behind a few long balls from J-Rod, Cal Raleigh, and Eugenio Suarez that were enough to hold back the Athletics and win another 1-run game. Salk loves Julio's post-game interview and how comfortable he is already. We go 'Around Seattle Sports' to hear why Stacy (Jake & Stacy, 10a-2p) is mad at the Mariners and Dave Wyman's (Wyman & Bob, 2-7p) thoughts on the Seahawks defense.

Can you smile through the pain? Or laugh at misfortunes? Scream in anger? Salk asks Mariners fans how they'd like to handle their emotions after getting swept in the worst way by Boston and if there's anything positive that you can take out of it. Some fans want Servais to be fired, others want more veteran leadership, but almost everybody agrees that missing the playoffs for 20+ years is hard to stomach when we were promised more.

Salk can’t bring himself to get mad about the Mariners weekend because it wasn’t frustrating or anger-inducing, it went past that: it was sad, painful and frankly, embarrassing. What should Dipoto have done differently and what role Scott Servais has played? Salk asks Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer to explain what happened and how it can turn. Brock Huard joins to discuss Seahawks OTA practice, the signing of WR Marquise Goodwin and a preview of the Body Show.

"Happy" Monday to Mariners fans but the only thing Salk can think about is how Trevor Story's HR campaign felt like an ex player rubbing their skills in your face even though he never played for the M's. Maura takes us Around the Weekend of sports to cover the NBA/NHL Playoffs, PGA Championship, and a preview of the Seahawks starting practices today with a new receiver in the mix.
