Ian did not commit a sports sin last night, abstaining from the NBA. There's plenty to talk about with the Mariners, specifically with JP Crawford making his own decision to move to third base. Eddie Olczyk, National NHL Analyst joins Ian to give us a look at the NHL playoffs as a whole and where the Kraken are heading in their future. Edzo says Seattle needs a star, and they don't have one right now. Mariners and piggyback! JP Crawford is willing to move positions to stay with the Mariners. That speaks a lot about him. Ian talks about what it really means. JP should be celebrated for this. Who should be the backup catcher? Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Ian to give his thoughts on Colt Emerson's debut, as well as JP Crawford's flexibility to move to third base. JP deserves his flowers for his bat, regardless of what we've seen in the decline defensively. Eno also addresses the potential damage that bringing up players 'too early' can do. Of course, we have to talk about "piggybacking" with pitchers. Finally, we have to talk about Mason Miller and the Athletics. The Daily Power Play! Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum joins us to give us some perspective on the NFL schedule release and what it means for the Seahawks.

Crosstalk with Softy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thank goodness the Mariners are giving us a lot to talk about these days! JP Crawford is showing what a great leader he truly is and he could be the new Mariners' third baseman. Crawford seems to be handing the torch to young Colt Emerson and making it known that he wants to be a Mariner for life and will help this team however he can. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners got a much-needed series win against the White Sox after a 5-4 win at T Mobile Park yesterday. The offense put some runs on the board and the pitching staff held the Sox off just enough to get the W. :45- The Thunder beat the Spurs in game 2 of the Western Conference Finals and evened the series at 1 game a piece. We aren't worried. We do have an idea of how we want this series to go though! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The New York Knicks are rolling into the Eastern Conference Finals against a Cleveland team that just played two seven-game series. We break down why New York's plus -19.8 net rating makes this Eastern Conference Final feel less like a series and more like a formality. Then the West Coast superstar slump report: Fernando Tatis Jr. has gone 46 games without a home run, Cal Raleigh is hitting .161, and Rafael Devers is nowhere near the player San Francisco paid for. Plus, 20-year-old Colt Emerson makes his MLB debut for Seattle after signing the largest pre-service extension in baseball history. JP Crawford is a free agent after 2026. The clock is ticking. Also on the show: the next number one MLB Draft pick nobody is talking about, a live Spurs vs OKC update, and Ben went geoduck hunting. Sharp takes. West Coast bias. Backed by data.

Mariners won big yesterday and Colt Emerson's first dinger should be highlighted. Criticism of Dan Wilson's in-game decisions are warranted, but the injuries the stars have been dealing with aren't on him. Do the OKC Thunder still live rent free in your head? Bryan Woo has returned to true form, criticism of JP Crawford is warranted and there are still fair questions about management. There are questions about Dan Wilson's management and we listen back to what Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop had to say about it yesterday. The worst owner in sports is at it again in Portland. Worst owner in sports owns the Trailblazers and it's straight out of the Clay Bennett handbook. Ian would be happy to see Samantha Holloway and the Kraken ownership group as the next member of the club. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins us to give a 30,000-foot view of the Mariners and where they are right now. How critical is the manager situation with Dan Wilson right now? Joe touches in on JP Crawford, Cal Raleigh and what we're seeing with their lack of production. Cal deserves a reset and should not have to deal with the expectations from last year. What separates Mason Miller from the rest of the pack? We invite you into the Daily Power Play! John Lund, Unleashed! And Westwood One joins Ian in his usual cantankerous manner to discuss the horrific ownership we're seeing with the Trailblazers and the international NFL games we're seeing this year - specifically with the 49ers. The NFL is clearly doing this for the money and it has nothing to do with what's good for the players. Is there any way we can see a Super Bowl overseas? They can pretty much do whatever they want. We check the talkbacks and texts and finally, talk to Softy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had a busy Wednesday show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SPENCER HAWES makes his weekly visit to chat about the NBA playoffs. Do the Lakers have any chance of knocking off OKC? What are we going to do about flopping? How impressive is Detroit's Cade Cunningham? How surprised is he that the Celtics have already been eliminated? Is Anthony Edwards superhuman? How is he back already? Is it fair to question a player's toughness? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - A is for Andres: Muni got the loss last night after giving up a 9th inning HR to Matt Olson and handing the Braves the W. How confident are we feeling in Munoz? - B is for Bonuses: The M's record is not ideal at this point in the season, but there's a silver lining according to Bill Krueger… - C is for Crawford :45- It's to talk O.P.Q….Other People's Quarterbacks.

Chuck enjoyed a night at the ballpark with… SOFTY! Chuck chatted with a couple people at the park, including Bryce Miller who said something interesting… With Miller get closer to a return, does it seem more likely that someone will get sent to the bullpen or that the Mariners will go to a 6-man rotation? :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners lost a close one off a Matt Olson homerun in the 9th. Yes, Munoz gave up the home run, but the bigger issue was the fact that the M's managed just 3 hits in the entire game. :45- The NHL Draft lottery was last night and Toronto ended up with the #1 pick and it's a little fishy… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finish Your Breakfast: 5.5.2026 - The Mets and Phillies won games. Ke'Bryan Hayes hit home run. So did Drake Baldwin and JP Crawford. And why in the world are the O's still trying to pitch to Aaron Judge? Follow for more.

The Mariners crawled back from the dead to pull off a 5-4 win over the Braves. It seemed all hope was lost after Logan Gilbert gave up 3 solo home runs in the 6th inning, but Luke Raley and JP Crawford came through with two home runs of their own and suddenly the M's had a 5-4 lead to end the 6th and the bullpen got the job done. :30- Mariners Morning After Phew, the Mariners pulled off one heck of a 6th inning to end the losing skid and steal one from the Braves. :45- The Met Gala was last night and in the world of fashion, it's the biggest night there is. There were even some athletes there, but one athlete is getting credit for an appearance he didn't make.

We covered a lot on our Tuesday show! Here's the best moments!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JP falls victim to swinging for the fences too often… is that really what's happening? How would Ryon handle the Cal Raleigh injury situation? :30- Are you hurt or are you injured? Does it look bad for Jayson Tatum when Anthony Edwards comes back from injury a week early to play in Game 1 and Tatum couldn't suit up for game 7? Celtics fans think so. :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JEDD FISCH (UW Football) joins the show to celebrate his birthday and talk Dawgs After Dark. There has been talk about the attendance at the spring game, was Coach disappointed in the fan turnout? Would he consider moving the day/time to hopefully draw more fans? Did he get everything that he wanted out of the spring game? What does he need to see from freshman to earn playing time in his program and is he seeing anyone who is up for the task yet? :30- GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We call and Gregg answers! The Hawks are signing Dante Fowler Jr and Gregg has the latest info for us on the defensive addition. Is Fowler a 1-for-1 Mafe replacement or will be he used differently? Are the Hawks done or is this just the start? :45- Every morning we do Mariners Morning After for our 6:30 audience, but very rarely do we recap the previous night's game for our later audiences, so we are trying something new! It's the Baseball Brunch- our look at last night's game with special guests. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and Hawks talk. Kay Adams had a lot of people talking yesterday and ended up defending the Seahawks. Do the Seahawks need defending? They're the defending Super Bowl Champs, they're the team to beat heading into 2026. :30- Breaking News and the ABC's of the Mariners - Y is for Yoda: Luke is Luke and Edgar is Yoda in this situation… - Z is for Zombies: this team looked dead, but Luke & JP resurrected things in the 6th. :45- Brendan Sorsby has everyone talking- could he land with an NFL team in the supplemental draft and would any team be of the table when it comes to a QB of that caliber?

We love early morning Draftmas Stocking Stuffers! Let's check out the growing rumors surrounding the NFL Draft. The Cardinals and the Commanders could both use Jeremiyah Love and both are rumored to be interested in him. The Dexter Lawrence trade gave the Giants two prime draft picks, so how will they use them? :30- Mariners Morning After What started out as promising, ended in disappointment as the A's came away with a 6-3 lead. Cal got things going with a home run in the 1st and Julio and Naylor followed up with base hits of their own. Dom Canzone had a solo HR in the 2nd and the M's were out to an early 3-0 lead and that's pretty much where the offense stalled. The M's had some opportunities, but couldn't capitalize. :45- It's time to mock the Mocks! Are these mocks a lot of wishful thinking or could some of these Seahawks predictions come to fruition? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HIGHLIGHTS ATTACHED :45- Time to check the Draftmas Stockings to see what rumors are stuffed inside! - AJ Brown to the Pats is pretty much a done deal, but it won't happen until after June 1 - Jeremiyah Love sweepstakes start at #3 and Chuck started the rumor a few weeks ago, but now it's looking like it's very likely it could happen. - Dan Quinn is very smitten with Sonny Styles, would he be a good fit for the Commanders or would Love make more sense?

The Mariners offense finally woke up this series, and they dominated the Astros pitching. Wyman & Bob talk about how this makes them more confident in the Mariners bats after a slow start to the season. // We saw the middle of the order start to heat up in this series and the support players filling out the rest of the lineup have been hitting the ball like crazy with JP Crawford and Luke Raley contributing a lot so far.

They also turn to the series coming up late this week against the Rangers and if the newly hot hitting bats can redeem themselves after dropping the series to Texas last week. 

Finish Your Breakfast (4.12.2026): Jordan Walker, James Wood, Josh Bell, and Jeremiah Jackson all made some noise last night.

Finish Your (Easter) Brunch (4.5.2026): Yes, I took the morning off and attended Sunday service with the family, but I'm still here with your daily dose of Black baseball highlights. The story of Saturday had to be Jo Adell's hat trick of home run robberies. The last one on JP Crawford was unreal. Adell is known more his power, but he is proving he can flash the leather in right field. Congratulations are in order for CJ Abrams. His twelve RBIs in the Nats' first seven games is a modern-day franchise record. Kudos to Justin Crawford for the first stolen base of his MLB career. Jordan Walker (STL) and Cam Smith (HOU) both hit homers on Saturday. Jack Flaherty (DET) and Kumar Rocker (TEX) both had solid outings on the bump. All of that and more on Easter Sunday.
