Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 13-4 win over the Mariners in Game 3 of the ALCS! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the start from Shane Bieber - was that his best start in a Jays uniform? How important was it for the team to pick him up after a rough first inning? They discuss the offensive explosion that saw the Jays launch five home runs, three coming off George Kirby - what did they change in their approach after the first two games in Toronto? Plus, they get into Max Scherzer getting the start in Game 4, whether or not Chris Bassitt will factor into that game, and what the Jays' offence could look like against Luis Castillo. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Headlines and Thursdays with SOFTY How is the Soft one feeling about last night's Mariners loss? Does he have any positive takeaways from last night? Was the decision to save Castillo for a start today the right one? Is he confident this team can get the job done? Oh, and let's talk about the Huskies! They have a BIG game on Saturday morning in Ann Arbor. Jedd Fisch really needs a win like this to elevate his program. :30- Luis Castillo is getting the start tonight for the Mariners while Max Scherzer goes for Toronto, but is this the same Scherzer that we once knew?

It was a rough night at the ballpark! The Mariners got blown out by the potent Toronto offense in a 13-4 loss and it's on to game 4 with a 2-1 series lead. Is our confidence rattled? No way, no one should have expected that Toronto was going to roll over. :30- Mariners Morning After Things started great for the Mariners as Julio got the team out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st, but George Kirby will be the first to tell you, he just didn't have it last night and Toronto jumped on it. :45- The Seahawks don't play until Monday when they face the Texans and the biggest story of this Houston team is their defense.

- We still have a lot to talk about when it comes to last night's Game 3. The Mariners crowd showed out and Julio got them all fired up right away, but by the 3rd inning, things shifted dramatically and Toronto rattled off 12 runs in a row. Did the Mariners make the right decision to keep Kirby in and moving forward, what's the plan? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - D id for Dingers: all dingers have a different value to them; what value could we potentially place on Randy Arozarena's late home run? It was his first in 107 at-bats, could it be just what he needs to get heated up? - E is for Ewok: Vlad Jr is the most intimidating presence in the Blue Jays lineup, but that Ewok behind the plate (Alejandro Kirk) is worrisome as well. - F is for Fresh: is there a chance that a couple weeks off were actually good for Woo and he comes out fresher than before? :45- Jedd Fisch has a big game ahead of him on Saturday; can the Huskies pull off the upset in Ann Arbor? Just how big would this win be and could the Huskies enter the playoff conversation if they beat Michigan? Jedd Fisch rumors are already flying… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can the Mariners bats get it done and what is Dan's plan for the pitching staff? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - S is for Speier who has been such a factor already this series (or maybe it's just the 5th inning that's been a factor), do you have faith in him coming in from the pen tonight? - T is for Tarik poison and it's called Polanco; can Jorge come through against Skubal again tonight? - U is for unconventional; be prepared for anything from this pitching staff tonight as Dan Wilson pulls out all the stops in Game 5. :45- It's our no cliché keys to a… Mariners victory!

Luis Castillo Butters v. National Academy of Sciences

What a weekend! Playoff baseball is stressful and we sure got our fair share of it with a Mariners game 1 loss in extra innings and a much-needed win in Game 2 to head to Detroit with the series even and game 3 on Tuesday. From the lows felt by many on Saturday night to the highest of highs on Sunday night, Seattle celebrated that Game 2 home win like they've never been there before and there's a good reason for that as it was just the 1st home playoff win in 24 years. :30- Mariners Morning After Cal and Julio came through in the bottom of the 8th after the Tigers tied it up at 2, but Jorge Polanco was the hero against Skubal, hitting 2 home runs off Detroit's Ace. Luis Castillo gave up only 1 hit in the game and Gabe Speier stepped up to finish the 5th and go two more innings for the Mariners who needed that after Saturday's extra innings loss. :45- Get out the sourdough, it's time for Cold Turkey Sandwich, a board of scores; our look at what went on in the NFL yesterday.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks lost a shootout at home to the Buccaneers, so it begs the question; what has happened to this Seahawks defense? Did injuries play too big of a role in the loss? Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield put on a show! :30- The Mariners spilt games 1 and 2 with Detroit and while the split didn't go how we thought it would, we will take the end result. Manager Dan Wilson was left to make a decision on Saturday and left George Kirby in the face Kerry Carpenter on his 3rd at-bat. That didn't go well for the Mariners, so when he faced the same situation on Sunday, he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice and it paid off. :35- Ashley makes her fact or fiction pick and she's been on a downward slide lately (thanks to a Push). Can she right the ship? :45- ABCs of the Mariners - H is for Homers: where would we be without Jorge Polanco's home runs?

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! The Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) host the Detroit Lions (3-1) at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in a 4:25 p.m. ET FOX showdown—America's Game of the Week. With Joe Burrow sidelined by injury, backup Jake Browning steps up amid a Bengals offense averaging a league-worst 19.3 points and 205 yards per game. Last week's 3-point dud in Denver exposed their woes: just 159 total yards and nine first downs. Defensively, they're porous, allowing 30+ points in three of four contests. Ja'Marr Chase remains elite, but Cincy's 2-2 ATS mark as underdogs screams fragility. Home cooking offers slim hope—they score 31 at Paycor but concede 27. Detroit roars in on a three-game heater, leading the NFL with 34.2 points and 365 yards per game. Jared Goff's precision (9 TDs, 2 INTs) fuels a balanced attack, with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery gashing defenses (top-10 rush duo). New OC John Morton adds wrinkles to Dan Campbell's gritty scheme. The Lions' D, allowing 317 yards nightly, thrives in chaos. They're 3-1 ATS on the road lately, and experts peg a 75% win probability. Odds: Lions -10.5, total 47.5. Simulations favor a tight 25-24 Detroit squeaker, but most see a rout. For Bengals fans, it's survival mode; for Lions, a statement en route to contention. The 2025 MLB Division Series explode into action Saturday, October 4, pitting powerhouses against wild-card warriors in best-of-five thrillers. In the AL, powerhouse Toronto Blue Jays (1 seed) host the surging New York Yankees (WC), where Aaron Judge's bat clashes with Toronto's deep rotation led by Kevin Gausman. Meanwhile, Seattle Mariners (2 seed) face gritty Detroit Tigers, with Tarik Skubal's 14-K wild-card gem eyeing a repeat against Seattle's ace Luis Castillo—expect pitching duels in the Emerald City.

The Mariners will know their opponent for the ALDS this afternoon and as the division series inches closer, it's time to gauge our confidence in the various aspects of this team. From the starting pitching to the bullpen, to the offense, where are we at? What are we the least confident in? :30- MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) joins the show ahead of tonight's Thursday Night Football game between the Rams and 49ers. Have the Niners injuries finally caught up to them? Is the Seahawks and Bucs game one of the biggest of week 5? How impressive has Sam Darnold been? Is Mike concerned about the Ravens? The Cleveland Browns made a change at QB, will Dillon Gabriel be the answer? :45- We close out the Thursday show with one last thing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks have a tough talk ahead of them on Sunday when the Bucs come to town. Could Nick Emmanwori be ready to go on Sunday and how big of a factor will he be in his first game? :30- The Mariners are scrimmaging today and tomorrow and they aren't the only ones, Philadelphia and Milwaukee will do it as well. Do we have any concerns with the inter-squad games? :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! Selecting the right starter for game 1 is a BIG decision and with limited information on Bryan Woo's injury, should Logan Gilbert get the start on Saturday? Keep in mind, your game 1 starter would pitch again if a game 5 was necessary… Luis Castillo has been notably better at home than on the road, so should he start game 2? His lefty/righty splits are far more exaggerated and that should be a concern because all of our guys are better at home than on the road. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a great problem to have! Naming the Mariners #1 starter: the great debate! Who should get the nod in game 1 on Saturday? :30- Happy Humpday! Nick Emmanwori is expected to play on Sunday, how big of an impact can he have on this defense? :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) Coach joins us with his thoughts on what happened to the Huskies on Saturday in the loss to Ohio State. The Ducks pulled off a double OT win in Penn State and Alabama got a W as well- we get Coach's thoughts on both. We've got more good games lined up for this weekend and Coach tells us how it's going to go! :30- The ol Judge is here! - Who would we rather avoid; Jose Ramirez or Tarik Skubal? - Luis Castillo's home/road splits are dramatically different, so he must start one of the two home games this weekend. - Who will be the X-Factor for the Mariners in the playoffs? - Who would we like to see lose in the wildcard round? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

The Mariners and Astros are set to square off in a massive series this weekend, so Brock and Salk discuss some of the key storylines entering the weekend. They also debate whether or not Luis Castillo has pitched well enough as of late to be in the playoff rotation and wjhat that rotation as a whole could look like. In Blue 88, topics include what both Brock and Klint Kubiak have seen from Sam Darnold so far, how Cooper Kupp and JSN are different than other wide receivers the Seahawks have had in the past and who are two people that will be fearsome with the Saints on Sunday.

Dave and Lefko hear what Seahawks QB Sam Darnold had to say about the improvements the offense made between the first two games of the season during his press conference, they react to the biggest moments in Mariners close win over the Royals, including Luis Castillo’s performance and the improbable replay review, they look at what that win did for their path to the playoffs, and they break down what Jorge Polanco has brought to the Mariners offense this season. 

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason "Puck" Puckett starts off the show briefly chatting about last night's Mariners gut punch and an enormous start coming up on Thursday for Luis Castillo. Mike Garafolo from the NFL Network drops by to discuss all things NFL. Mike shares his thoughts on the Seahawks win over the Steelers, the mounting QB injuries in the NFL, Brock Purdy vs. Mac Jones, Packers/Chargers elite play, Tom Brady in the Raiders coaching booth, Tush Push controversy and Mike McDaniel's time winding down in Miami. Puck heads to Kansas City to chat with Brad Adam of ROOT Sports as the Mariners conclude their three-game series against the Royals.  They react to Wednesday's rough loss, Castillo's road woes, Suarez bounce back game and another foolish base running mistake by Julio. On another edition of KJ-Arent's, Puck and Mitch talk everything from the Seahawks, Mariners, and rivalries.  The full show airs during the live broadcast, but once it's over the only way to watch or listen to the full show is to join Puck's Posse at PuckSports.com. Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”    I'm not sure what Jimmy Rogers is up to, but I hope he's right.  (1:00) Puck  (4:02) Mike Garafolo, NFL Network  (34:00) Brad Adam, ROOT Sports  (59:07) KJ-Arent's w/ Mitch Levy  (1:10:12) “Hey, What the Puck!”
