Gee Scott joins Salk in-studio to talk about going to his first Mariners game in years and Maura delivers another song for a generation to Salk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should fans think it matters that Bob Nightengale (who Salk calls the Ian Rapapport of baseball) listed the Mariners first in the list of teams making a push for Juan Soto? Salk says no, but they are in a unique position to get this done. We have some fun with a column from Houston Chronicle columnist Matt Young who seems salty about Mariners fans who want to 'boo' the Astros this weekend before we announce the new Seahawks Training Camp 2022 slogan w/ Brock Huard. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friday has finally arrived and that means the return of Mariners baseball as they try to extend into 15 straight wins. Salk is pretty upset that the team from New York wasn't able to beat the Astros at least once yesterday before Houston comes to town for a 3-game series. We revisit The Jerry Dipoto Show in another attempt to "decode Dipoto" with more discussion around Juan Soto. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've spent the last few days gushing over the possibility of Juan Soto becoming a tandem with Julio, but the real question on Soto is how much is he really going to cost?

Brock Huard joins Salk to talk a little body-show and consider what the Seahawks training camp t-shirts should say. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With M's baseball returning tomorrow, Salk put Julio Rodriguez's increased level of notoriety to the test by asking Larry Salk (his dad) if he knew who he was... and he did! Mariners star Mitch Haniger is finally starting a rehab assignment in Everett starting tomorrow, but how soon could we see him return to the big league club?

Salk shares Brock's top 6 most important Seahawks players from their podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since it's still on the table, Salk wonders how real is the Juan Soto conversation? Salk doesn't want to give up anybody on the current starting roster (especially pitching) and then compares Julio/Soto to having a second kid. ESPN's Senior MLB Insider Jeff Passan joins Salk for his weekly appearance to discuss the Julio Rodriguez coronation/coming out and what would it take to acquire Juan Soto before Brock Huard joins to share his thoughts on what he'd give up for Soto. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all finally got to watch Julio Rodriguez as a rookie in the All-Star game, but we also got to enjoy it with his mic'd up performance in centerfield and look forward to the 2023 ASG in Seattle where Julio (and other M's?) can win the next HR Derby.

Plus, in honor of Julio's coronation, we rank crowns. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With everything that Julio brings to the table and Russell Wilson in Denver... is J-Rod the new 'face' of sports in Seattle? The other names could be Sue Bird (but she's retiring) or DK Metcalf (not a QB), but who else?

Salk has some fun with a list of "things that were true the last time the M's lost" as if it had been years.

We bring in Joe Doyle, Director of the MLB Draft (Prospects Live) to fill us in on all of the M's picks so far before playing a round of "Buy or Sell" on a variety of Mariner topics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mariners have a big thing going for them with all the confidence that comes from a win streak this long, but Salk doesn't think they've even played their best baseball yet and this is happening without Mitch Haniger or Kyle Lewis.

M's make it eleven in a row. "Believe "was the theme of last year for the M's.

MLB Network's Mark DeRosa says Julio is a superstar and Salk has fun with his accent, but it's good he's getting national attention. There are conflicting reports on Seahawks Baker Mayfield interest and Salk vents about the lack of awareness by other people during his travels.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Salk outlines why he believes the Mariners are 'rising to the occasion' with guys like Haggerty & D-Mo playing so good while they're at the MLB level because they're playing in the shoes of guys who were defending the honor of the team.

Brock Huard believes pitching is most responsible for the M's resurgence.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Salk is back from San Diego and is fired up about the M's and their two wins against the Padres, especially since he attended the game yesterday.

We revisit yesterday's conversation with Jayson Stark (The Athletic) to get his perspective on what Julio's rookie season has been like before Salk says Julio should be an All-Star but probably won't because of the national view.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
