The Mariners win 3 out of 4 against the Rangers over the weekend and there were some pretty special moments. From JP's walk-off on Friday to Julio's fantastic weekend, it seems like the addition of Naylor and Suarez has given this team a boost and that's without either of them really contributing. This lineup doesn't seem to have many holes and dare we say it feels like we could be in for something special. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners held off the Rangers for a 5-4 victory and a series win. It's sure looking like we have a pretty solid lineup right now! :45- Coach Bucky is here! - What would Coach Bucky say to his catcher, Cal Raleigh after striking out 5 times? - If he were Pete Carroll, returning to Seattle on Thursday for a preseason game against the Seahawks, how would he want to be received?

How should he be received? Tory Horton had people talking during the scrimmage on Saturday. It looks like Kenneth Walker is being bubble wrapped until the season starts. :30- The ABCs of the Mariners - S is for Superstar- yes, we expect more from our superstar, but he's just gotten his 4th straight 20-20 season and it seems like 2nd half Julio is here. - T is for traffic- relievers don't like to come into the game with traffic on the bases and we keep sending Brash in with traffic on the bases. - U is for up-his-butt, which is where Merrill Kelly's head was on Saturday :45- NFL News & Notes - James Cook is holding in and the Bills debut on Hard Knocks this week - Jerry Jones is still making headlines nationally with the Micah Parsons situation and no, he's not getting traded - Terry McLaurin isn't going anywhere either - Salvon Ahmed out for the year after See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How are we feeling about this team and what are our expectations for the remainder of the season? :30- It's camp battle time and we take a look at the competition at running back. With McIntosh out, will the other RB's be put in bubble wrap until the end of the season? :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
