Ian tells us about his weekend and he had a great time at Cheney Stadium watching the Rainiers. He pays tribute to what Tacoma does to create an awesome environment for the fans. The Mariners are inconsistent, which might be their best attribute right now. There is a net positive from getting guys healthy, but the lack of offensive production throughout the Padres sweep in Seattle is troubling. The AL West allows the Mariners to sleepwalk through this division, so that's good news - but they need to get it going. The NFL schedule is out, and Ian is wondering why the league even doesn't know why they bother doing a huge show on the NFL Network when the leaks let us know what games will happen. Ian tells you what he thinks about the matchups and dates we see on the Seahawks' schedule. The NFL made some good decisions when it comes to primetime.
12:45 - Ian likes the changeup with NBC/Peacock doing Sunday Night Baseball. However, he takes issues with some points made. Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join to breakdown the Mariners getting swept by the Padres this weekend. How fair is the criticism toward Dan Wilson right now? Chris has plenty to say about it right now but also doesn't think the team will make a change right now. Chris says he would consider it because Wilson isn't making them better right now. Nathan brings up all the positive things we're seeing at the plate and in the field, and despite the losses we're seeing, there's plenty to be happy about. Nathan also weighs in on Dan Wilson. There are plenty of stats that back up the poor performance of Wilson as a manager. Chris and Nathan discuss the handling of Cal Raleigh's injury and what that looks like moving forward. Mollywhop finishes off to discuss Colt Emmerson and what the realistic expectations for him as he just recently got called up. They preview the series with the White Sox. Ian wraps up our Mollywhop conversation and doesn't like to call for people's jobs, but this is going to be a serious series for Dan Wilson with the White Sox. The team can't scuffle right now, but it's not necessarily all on Dan Wilson. Aaron Rai wins the PGA Championship, and Ian pays tribute to what he did this weekend, as well as what his family did for him growing up. Ian finally gets to break down the Seahawks schedule as it was released last week. He takes issue with the fact they're ending their season for the third straight year on back-to-back road games. We check in on the talkbacks and texts and finally, talk to Softy!

Anders and Jess are in for Ian and we are taking a deep dive into the Seahawks official schedule.
12:30 - If you said the Mariners would be a game out of first place with the lacking we've seen from those we have higher expectations for this season - would you be ok with it prior to this season? Anders and Jess discuss where the roster is lacking and their confidence levels on them coming back. We shouldn't have to wait for the rest of the conference to suck to believe in the Mariners' ability to get to and win in the postseason. Time to dive into the Mariners' pitching rotation and what we're seeing there. The World Cup is coming to Seattle and Anders is pumped for it to not only be in America, but to be in his hometown. Ticket prices are dropping, and that's a good sign for fans to be able to attend. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny used to hate NFL schedule releases, but with the changes in broadcasting, he thinks it's fun now. He thinks when it comes to International games, most coaches and GMs would choose that travel over Hard Knocks. The Seahawks took one for the team on doing the show this year. There are a ton of distractions with Seahawks' rivals this off-season. Is Danny drinking the Rams' Kool-Aid? Finally, Danny sees a favorable first half of the season for the Seahawks and that Mike Macdonald has a more buttoned-down approach than Pete Carroll did. Ty Dane Gonzalez, Locked on Mariners joins us to talk about what we've seen from the Mariners. Should Cal have gone to the IL earlier than now? At least they didn't wait too long for what seemed like an inevitable decision. If you look at the state of catching around the league, they're not in a bad situation with Mitch Garver behind the plate. Ty and Anders dive into the 6-man rotation and whether it's the best decision for the team right now. We check the texts and crosstalk with Dick Fain.

Sounders won big last night, and Jackson discusses how big it was for the team. Cal Raleigh heads to the 10-day DL - how are we feeling about him at this time? He needs some time off and a full uniform shower can only do so much. Bryce Miller is BACK! We discuss the work he did to get back, considering how much he had to do to get right between Everett and Tacoma. Softy's sources tell him many of the Seahawks' scheduled games prior to the actual release, and we look at what this season could look like for Seattle. There are leaks out for the NFL schedule right now - when looking ahead, how much should we realistically expect from the Seahawks this year? The World Cup is coming up and one of the hopefuls to make the US National Team, Cristian Roldan joins us to talk about the Sounders win last night and his potential to be a part of the World Cup. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum joins Anders and Jackson to talk about the NFL schedule release and what it means for the Seahawks. How much does this schedule release actually matter? Corbin nerds out with the guys. He's also really high on the opening quarter of the season for Seattle and 100% sees what he expected with the primetime games they were awarded. Corbin thinks there's good reason to see the Seahawks start 6-0. The NFC West is gonna be the hardest focus for Seattle. The Daily Power Play! Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Anders and Jackson as we are wrapping up the Mariners game in Houston. He breaks down Bryce Miller's first start back from the IL. What do the numbers say about six-man rotations throughout history? Eno says it benefits a playoff-bound team. The Dodgers are doing it without even announcing it. Also, why is Houston so bad right now? Finally, what are some reasonable expectations for Cal Raleigh this season after he set the bar so high last year? We check the talkbacks and texts and finally, speak to Softy.
