Mike Salk

Salk asks... what does Jerry do now? That’s a DFA-kind of a performance from Souza. Should he go get someone like Wil Myers from the Padres, or Kevin Pillar who's in AAA with Dodgers? New Seahawks DC Clint Hurtt has a lot of work to do, but why has the Seahawks defense slipped so much in the last 5 years? Brock Huard joins to discuss how different the defense will look under Clint Hurtt and Sean Desai.

"We've got to change the record, don't we?” and “It's the same old song," are not things Salk likes to hear from your coach after another abysmal performance by the Mariners in Toronto. The shining moment was Logan Gilbert's stellar 9k performance, but Salk thinks after yesterday's game it is time to DFA Steven Souza, JR based on his outfield miscues and hitting into a DP with the bases loaded after swinging on the first pitch of his at-bat.

Salk explains why he's sometimes for practicality over philosophy when it comes to a situation in last night's game where he thought Jesse Winker should have bunted. He debates it with Michael Bumpus and Justin. Then, Brock Huard stops by to discuss the M's loss and asks if it time for the M's to stir up the trade market.

Salk's weekly conversation with Joe Fann addresses the things that get under your skin as a sports fan and how annoying it is to see former players beat you in revenge like Kikuchi did last night. Salk asks Joe about the possibility of Drew Lock being a Jared Goff-type under Shane Waldron. Michael Bumpus joins the show to answer three big questions from Salk about immediate impact from rookies, who will be the Seahawks RB and more discussion on Jared Goff vs. Drew Lock.

Shane Waldron was able to get the best out of Jared Goff, so Salk asks if Drew Lock put up those numbers, would it be a success? That isn’t enough to keep the job long term, but it might be enough to challenge in a weak conference. We do some 'Take the L' for the Reds, the Suns and the NHL ref who got himself banned on a hot mic incident. Brock Huard joins Salk to discuss the awful game from the Mariners.

Salk starts the show by saying he needs to be talked away from the cliff after a brutal loss at the hands of Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays. The lack of offense and inability to get Yusei uncomfortable like he was with the Mariners was the most frustrating for Salk. We revisit yesterday's conversation with Tyler Polumbus to preview Russell's season before Salk telling us the Seahawks are currently ranked 27 by ESPN.

The Mets have been one of the best teams in baseball but you can't say that they looked significantly better than the M's this weekend. Then, we try and fail to explain Reddit to Salk. Plus, Brock Huard joins to talk some football and makes a big comparison to Julio Rodriguez that M's fans will like.

Salk leads us down a math rabbit hole about how 10 + 6 = 3 based on the over/under win projections of both the Seahawks and the Broncos and how it could equal them having a high draft pick next season. Former Seahawks & Broncos OL Tyler Polumbus joins Salk to explain why he predicts the Broncos will only win 10 games and what the first game back in Seattle will be like for Seahawks fans.

Salk wants to talk about a player that signed with no fanfare but gives the Mariners flexibility -- Steven Souza. Salk shares his three potential biggest storylines from the weekend: Julio crushing the ball, Diego Castillo striking out 2 in a huge spot, and Jesse Winker's trash-talking swag. Salk is still concerned about Robbie Ray and hopes it wasn't a focus issue. Brock Huard joins to talk some football and makes a big comparison to Julio Rodriguez that M's fans will like.

The bats have woken up a bit for the Mariners in New York against very good pitching to secure a huge road series win against the Mets. Jarred Kelenic sent to AAA and Salk says he would be surprised if the Mariners brought him back before the All-Star Break. Maura takes us Around the Weekend of sports to hear about the FOUR game 7's and other pieces of the Mariners series.
