Mike Salk

After our conversation with KJ last hour, we discuss his feeling that during the LOB era, the rest of the team was eventually asked to tone down their intensity and some of that competitive fire in order to appease a select few. Then, we discuss Mitch Haniger's legacy in Seattle and Justin and Salk have a Ranked themed around decisions made by Aaron Judge and Michael Penix Jr. this week.

KJ Wright joins Brock and Salk to discuss Geno Smith's big game winning drive, the defensive adjustments made in game Sunday, how meaningful that game was for Bobby Wagner, and why he feels the always compete intensity started to fade over the years during his tenure here.

Salk tells a "tale of two cities" after listening back to Louis Riddick and Mark Schlereth talk on our station yesterday and how differently things have turned out for Geno Smith and the Seahawks vs Russell Wilson and the Broncos. Brock & Salk are sad to see Mitch Haniger go but wouldn't have wanted the Mariners to give him that deal. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers - who are some similar players that stumbled in the way Russ is stumbling? Did Penix get snubbed by not being named a finalist for the Heisman? And why will the Rams be Baker Mayfield’s final and best shot?

We start by learning the M's have moved on from Mitch Haniger after the SF Giants sign him to a 3 year, $43m deal and the Yankees retain Aaron Judge with a 9 year, $360m contract to stay in NY. We didn't think he had a realistic shot of coming here anyway but does his signing mean anything for the M's in their search for another outfield bat. The Seahawks back to practice today after adding Wayne Gallman to the practice squad & Shane Wright scores his first NHL goal. We revisit yesterday's conversation with ESPN's Louis Riddick who thinks Pete has proved the doubters wrong.

Michael Penix Jr made his decision to stay at UW next season but Brock and Salk are still debating the choice. Then, we react to what Louis Riddick had to say earlier in the show about Geno Smith's value and Salk and Justin rank rights, and Wrights, and alrights in the lawless segment that is Ranked.

The conversation with Louis Riddick - specifically what he said regarding the character of the men John & Pete drafted this year speaks to the people who thinks Pete "lost it" - leads to Brock & Salk discussing how moving on from Russ & Bobby is a big reason for their young success. Could the Mariners put a package together that would be attractive enough for the Pirates to trade OF Bryan Reynolds to the Mariners? M's beat writer Ryan Divish (Seattle Times) outlines what he thinks it would take to pull off the trade.

Pete Carroll mentioned something during his interview w/ Brock & Salk yesterday about how 'intense' the practices used to be back in the day of LOB and how much fun it was to see that intensity come back during the Rams game leading Salk to ask -- why can't they do that again now? ESPN's Louis Riddick returns to the show to describe what he saw to predict why he believed in the Seahawks early. Brock's Blue 88 answers: what have been the most impressive aspects of Woolen’s rookie season, what made Prime Time’s presser unlike anything he’s seen, and what should be made of Penix's return?

Salk wrote a story on 10 potential free agents for the M's after learning that Ryan Divish saying Jerry Dipoto is looking for another right handed bat for the Mariners which surprises Salk because he thought they were looking for a lefty. We have a Ken Walker injury update... sort of, and congrats to M's pitching coach Pete Woodworth for being named Baseball America's coach of the year. We revisit yesterday's Pete Carroll Show.

The Rams were scrappy and gave you their best yesterday despite all of the injuries and Bobby Wagner's splash plays stood out. Knowing everything we know now; would you keep Bobby Wagner if you could go back? Sean McVay deserves credit for scheming a good game with his major stars on the bench. Brock & Salk share their biggest Seahawks Takeaways from the win.
