Mike Salk

Lindsey Thiry wrote a piece on trying to build a roster around a franchise QB and used a quote from Pete Carroll about the "dynamics of the structure of your roster" and how it shifts, leading to the obvious question: did the Seahawks make a decision on Russ or on strategy? ESPN's Jeff Passan makes his weekly appearance.

The Mariners are playing... 'good' ...but when will they take off? How beautiful would it be to see Kelenic & Julio synced up? There is going to need to be some movement in the bullpen soon because of Andres Munoz and Penn Murfee's imminent return, but who? Michael Bumpus in for Brock's Blue 88.

Bryce Miller felt the wrath of the Yankees and the M's fall behind Aaron Judge's 2 HR (and 1 HR robbed) day, but the biggest story is that Julio has reemerged as a good hitter again. We are reminded by the 'as Julio goes, the season goes' from Jeff Passan so this is encouraging. We ask Seattle Sports fans to answer how they feel about the season through 1/3 of the season.

Mariners have struggled against the better teams. Upcoming Yankee series is huge. Can they win? The AL central is a disaster except the Twins. // NTK Mariners big series win, Jimmy Butler free throws = kaboom! Fun stretch for UW. Heather Tarr is a fantastic coach. // Shannon Drayer joins the show to talk Mariners.  Doesn't matter who the M's swept. It's about momentum.  Julio is on a 7 game hit streak. Shannon compliments the 710 crew. M's looking for a lefty in the bullpen. Dylan Moore update?

Mariners meeting Yankees and Rangers this week. The AL is really tough and every game is crucial. Julio holding the trident! Julio (thanks, Jarred Kelenic) has a really good mental approach.  All star push happening. // NTK Mariners bounce back with a rocket to left field.  Celtics force game 7. // The NFL is not scripted, contrary to online conspiracies. // Lefko and Maura play their own version of Ranked.  The joys of a HOT mic. Jewel vs Fergie, no contest.  Maura is predicting Geno Smith will throw over 30 TD's this year.

Lefko and Maura guest hosting. Touching on last night's M's game. // NTK Huskies Women heading to the WS, Cardinals released Hopkins // Training camp for Seahawks. Witherspoon might battle for a spot. Looking at undrafted rookies. Don't rush an ACL injury. Cam Young is the answer? // Center position for the Seahawks has been a tough find. Geno needs more reps. Offensive line looking good. // Blue 88 - Are Raiders in trouble? Geno is clutch. Skeptical fans still abound.

We are starting to see Julio trust himself and let the game come to him and that's is a relief because the M's need him. Then, we take your calls and Justin and Salk have a handy edition of Ranked for you.

Jeff Passan told us "as Julio goes, so does the season" and Brock & Salk debate if he's gotten things figured out with his last 7-game span looking much better. Maura and Salk share their takeaways from yesterday's Seahawks OTA practice before Brock's Blue 88.

The Mariners were able to complete their 4-game sweep of the lowly A's behind more dominant pitching, but did it give the scuffling hitters enough time to get things figured out? Ty France's wrist/hand is clearly ok as he goes deep twice, but the real test starts tonight. We revisit the conversation w/ Jerry Dipoto.
