Mike Salk

Salk believes the Mariners know they did something big but they don’t think they are done, and they know the road to that is through more offense and letting their pitching continue to grow. Can you afford to bet on Mitch being healthy and productive? Is Kelenic ready? Is JP a shortstop? Brock's 'Blue 88' answers the questions: who was the highest Football Acumen player he played with, what is the most advantageous statistical matchup this week for the Hawks? And who should be licking their chops? And what will be the key in this match up with LA?

After 48 hours of Jesse Winker mania, Scott Servais, Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander attempt to calm the waters at their end of the year press conference by telling us that he wasn't with the team during the playoffs because he was getting surgery on his knee. Salk points out that they didn't refute any of the other points regarding him. We revisit yesterday's KJ Wright Show to hear his praise for a Seahawks defense that have turned things around after a few rough weeks.

Ryan Divish told us yesterday that he believes teammates and the team grew frustrated with Jesse Winker's lack of effort by the end of the season. Where do they go from here? Does he return? ESPN's Jeff Passan is fresh off his first visit to T-Mobile Park and had nothing but glowing reviews for the stadium and playoff experience, but Brock & Salk want to know how aggressive the M's should be in the short-stop position and Passan shares who he believes would be the best fit. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: What is going on with the NFL owners fighting, the next step for Deboer and Penix and the strength of the 2023 Draft.

The Russell Wilson fallout continues with former teammates WR Golden Tate and RB Michael Robinson chiming in on what they've seen with him in Denver and what know personally about Russell. Mike Robinson even says "mutiny" could be afoot. The story we learned yesterday regarding Jesse Winker went viral and Salk wonders what could be next for a guy like that who didn't show enough to keep, but might not have the same value as before.

What are things like in Denver this morning? Who is on the chopping block? We invite D-Mac from our sister station in Denver to discuss the state of the Broncos and they are not holding back on how things are unfolding with Russell Wilson. With the Mariners season officially in the rear-view and now a huge offseason ahead with a lot of questions to ask, Brock & Salk are joined by Mariners beat reporter Ryan Divish (Seattle Times) who shares his insights on the team.

The conversation around Russell continues with the ultimate conclusion that Pete Carroll was the maestro and knew how to put him in the best ways to succeed and Nathaniel Hackett will likely be the sacrificial lamb. Salk asks Brock about what went right for the Mariners and what went wrong for them in the 2022 season. Surprisingly, they had a LOT go wrong. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers what does Pete really think of Kenneth Walker and what (or who) has been key to Woolen and Bryant’s development?

Salk starts the show a little more chipper than usual and can't help himself after the Broncos lose again, this time on Prime Time MNF vs. the Chargers and Russell looks terrible again. We play some sound out of Denver from yesterday's postgame show of angry Broncos fans who called into their postgame show to complain and call for firings. We revisit the Pete Carroll Show to get insight on how Pete views Geno's play, performance of the rookies & his subtle jab at Kenneth Walker III.
