The Mariners won last night… yeah, with THAT lineup! Apparently half the starting lineup was injured and no one knew until yesterday, which made creating an actual lineup pretty difficult! The Mariners managed to pull it together and we saw JP make his debut at 3rd base, plus we got the story Curtis Washington Jr. getting called up. :30- Mariners Morning After Cal returned and reunited with his buddy Logan Gilbert and we'd say it went well for the two. Logan gave up 2 hits and struck out 10 in 7 innings and Cal delivered the game winning hit. :45- While Monday's World Cup games delivered 4 draws, Tuesday's games brought some more excitement as Messi, Haaland and Mbappe showed their superstardom.

Headlines and Seahawks One Series with MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) We dive into veteran wide receiver who is entering his 2nd year with the Seahawks. How long can he continue his NFL career and can we expect something similar to what we got from him last year? Is coaching in his future? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - D is for Dumper- Cal returned last night and not only did he deliver the game-winning hit, but he also helped Logan throw a gem. - E is for Everett- it was a short ride from Everett for Curtis Washington Jr - F is for the 5-man rotation, which we are going to talk about next! :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! There are a lot of things that have Mariners fans up in arms, let's break it down and welcome back the piggyback! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Knicks won their first title in 53 years and while credit has to be given to New York, the Spurs just flat-out blew it. What's up with Wemby? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - X is for x-rays… we have a lot of injuries - Y is for Young- Cole Young continues to impress us - Z is for Zone- why is Colt Emerson still batting 9th? :45- We wrap up the show with One Last Thing!

Ryan Rowland-Smith joins the show to talk about the Mariners current 6-game winning streak, his thoughts on the 6-man rotation vs the piggyback style rotation, what he thinks about Jhonny Pereda, how great it is having Julio hitting well early in the season, and what he is seeing from Luke Raley. // The Seahawks have lost their Assistant GM Nolan Teasley to the Vikings organization, how much of an impact does this have on the Seahawks organization? // After the weekend of great offense from the Mariners, Wyman & Bob tell us what was encouraging about seeing this team start hitting consistently.
In this episode, the gang dips into the mailbag to Create-A-Pitcher, offer some thoughts on Colt Emerson and Cole Young, and whether Luke Raley could outhit Rob Refsnyder against lefties just laying bunts down. The M's are undefeated since the last pod, and the piggyback seems to be working. We talk about Julio's hot start at the plate, and his potentially declining defense.Link to our Discord: https://discord.gg/XEHGvnaxBuy Mikey a hot and sexy pedal hehe: Electronic Audio Experiments Dude Incredible V2 Guitar Effects Pedal | Reverb
On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore, react to the Mariners six-game winning streak, six man rotation, piggybacking, Cougs baseball and Ryan Rowland-Smith is upset with Jim Moore…why!?Bill Krueger, “Old School Baseball” and Puck discuss the red hot Seattle Mariners! The team is starting to play like everyone envisioned when the season started. They also discuss the season from Cole Young, should Luke Raley play more and what are the benefits from using the piggyback and six-man rotation?“On This Day…” The Sonics deliver! Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?” (1:00) Puck and Jim (37:43) Bill Krueger (1:02:44 ) “On this Day…” (1:05:40) “Hey, What the Puck!?”
The Mariners got a W in Sacramento last night and Piggyback 2 was a success by all measurables, so why are so many fans so angry? Luis Castillo went 4 scoreless innings and Bruce Miller finished the last 5 innings giving up 2 runs and helping the Mariners to a 9-2 win. The bullpen got the full day off and the two pitchers took care of business, which means the Piggyback was a success, regardless of if we actually like it or not. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners bats came alive with 4 home runs in Sacramento last night and cruised to a 9-2 win over the A's. :45- Is anyone playing better than the New York Knicks?

Headlines and Sports! 18- game schedules in the NFL, 24-team college football playoffs… what else is inevitable in sports?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We aren't watching very good baseball right now. How much of a role is Dan Wilson playing in the Mariners lack of success? Colt's here now and we wish it would have been under better circumstances, but hopefully it's for good. :30- DEREK BERG (PNW Golf Academy) Ashley caught up with local golfer and friend, Derek Berg to find out about his experience playing in his first ever PGA tour event and a major at that! :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

In the second hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain chat with Brett Boone about Cal Raleigh hitting the IL and what led to the decision, what the team should do with Luis Castillo and the possibility of rolling with a 6-man rotation. They touch on Luke Raley and should he continue to only start against righties. Also, is this the end of the dominant Astros as we know them? They also talk about how weak the AL West is and that it’s the Mariners division to win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's day 2 of the PGA Championship and we know what happen at these tournaments… The NFL schedule came out yesterday and we can't say we have a lot of complaints about the Seahawks schedule looks. A week 11 bye and a couple tough stretches, basically what we'd expect for the defending Super Bowl Champs. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners got a good game from Luis Castillo and an early offensive boost from Luke Raley and cruised to an 8-3 win over the Astros and a series win as well. We own Houston. :45- It's time to talk Pucks & Ponies with EDDIE OLCZYK (Kraken/NHL color analyst) Eddie gives us the lowdown on the Preakness and the Western Conference Finals between Vegas and Colorado.

RYON HEALY makes his weekly visit to talk M's. What did he think of last night's win in Houston? What is wrong with Cal Raleigh and what can he do to fix it? Is Ryon worried Cal won't be able to come out of it? Luke Raley should never have been forgotten about and now he's making a huge impact. Does Luis Castillo still have his stuff? :30- COOPER CRISWELL (Seattle Mariners) joins the show for the first time ever and talks about his time with the Mariners so far.

SPENCER HAWES joins the show to talk NBA playoffs. First off, we allow Spencer to judge Chuck's list- what does he think? Spencer has a message of his own this morning. Was the Wemby ejection warranted and how will the officials and the Spurs react tonight? With 2 series already over, what are his predictions for the two remaining series? Can the Knicks sustain their success? They looked VERY good against Philly. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - N is for Nicky 6th- Nick Davila stepped up last night and delivered in the 6th inning - O is for over-aggression- our 3rd base coach was over-aggressive in sending runners in the 2nd inning, but luckily it worked out for us. - P is for Power- Julio has some of it. :45- How many primetime games do we want for the Seahawks and will we be mad if they don't have enough of them?

Jacob Misiorowski threw five of the fastest pitches by a starting pitcher in the Statcast era, hitting 103.6 mph with 41 pitches above 100, and went six innings with 11 strikeouts, making him the most talked-about arm on today's episode of First Cup Fantasy Baseball with host Corey Pieper.

EDDIE OLCZYK (Kraken/NHL color analyst) joins us to talk Stanley Cup Playoffs and horse racing? Yeah, that's right! There's nothing better than Pucks & Ponies! It seems like Carolina and Colorado are on a collision course to meet in the finals; how does Edzo feel? All we hear about as far as the Kraken go is that they need that one big scorer, but it doesn't seem like the Hurricanes do either and it's working for them. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - J is for Just In as in that play by Cole Young got to 1st base just in time. Wow. - K is for Kelenic: we got to see Jarred Kelenic in a White Sox uniform - L is for Luke and his incredible night on Friday- a grand slam and a 3-run home run. :45- We close out the show with one last thing.

The ultimate Mother's Day celebration… All eyes were on the NBA last night as Victory Wembanyama was ejected for a flagrant 2 foul. The flagrant call was justified, but the problem may lie in how the game is being officiated for and against Wemby. :30- Mariners Morning After It was a disappointing weekend for the Mariners in Chicago and that was doubly disappointing after a superb offensive performance on Friday. Castillo had a rough outing on Saturday and the offense managed just one run in that loss, but Sunday was the most disappointing loss after Logan Gilbert threw an absolute gem and the offense just couldn't come through for him in the 2-1 loss. :45- It's NFL Scheduled release week and we've already got some leaks, which is allowing us to deduce who the Seahawks opponent might be to open up the season.

We love a blockbuster trade and we really want to see the Kraken get involved in one. With Toronto landing the #1 pick in the NHL Draft and them reportedly growing tired of Auston Matthews, what would it take for the Kraken to land Matthews in a trade? :30- Baseball has discovered something new and amazing and we can't wait for you to hear all about it! :45- Russell Wilson has some options… backup Geno, begin broadcasting career or become a full -time Banana… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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.
RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) Did Healy have the same feeling we did during last night's game? Dread and jubilation? What did Healy make of the interaction between Edgar and Luke after Raley's home run? 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?

Brock and Salk discuss the decision to take Luke Raley out of the game in the 6th inning, along with a few other storylines from the Mariners loss to the A's yesterday. Later, former NFL GM Mike Mayock joins the show to share his insights on this year's NFL Draft, who the Seahawks could target at pick No. 32 and much more.
RUNDOWN Mitch and Scott bounce from absurd internet rabbit holes to surprisingly emotional territory, riffing on viral "energize your butthole" content before landing on AI-generated nostalgia videos that hit harder than expected. The segment blends humor with genuine reflection, as they react to how eerily real—and moving—these digital reunions of past and present selves have become. Mitch pushes back on the growing pile-on against Mariners manager Dan Wilson, arguing the outrage is wildly disproportionate to his actual impact. While acknowledging questionable in-game decisions, the real issue is clear: Seattle's top hitters aren't producing—and fans would rather scapegoat the manager than blame the stars they love. The Mariners show real offensive signs in a series win over Texas, highlighted by better at-bats, key contributions from role players, and a confidence-boosting early homer from Rob Refsnyder. The crew also dives into Julio Rodríguez's slow-burn start, Luke Raley's hot streak, and the critical importance of Andrés Muñoz stabilizing the bullpen as Seattle tries to grind out close games. Danny and Mitch break down the backlash from CBS's shaky Masters broadcast and the rare cross-network shots taken by NBC's Kevin Kisner. The conversation pivots into a deeper, more uncomfortable space—media ethics—using the Diana Russini–Mike Vrabel situation to expose the blurry lines between access, relationships, and credibility in modern sports journalism.

Bob and Dave are joined by Aaron Goldmsith to get his thoughts on where the Mariners go after getting swept by the Padres, they look back on Dan Wilson’s decision to pinch hit Connor Joe for Luke Raley in last night’s loss, and they discuss whether the four game sweep of the Astros was “fool's gold.”
Brock and Salk discuss the decision to pinch hit Connor Joe yesterday as opposed to leaving Luke Raley in the game and what went into it. They then go through soem aspects of the Mariners that warrant patience and some that could need change. In Blue 88, topics include another way to look at Seahawks free agency, what Dante Fowler may have left in the tank and another way to evaluate the way the Seahawks go about identifying their type of player.
Stacy and Curtis hear how Seahawks GM John Schneider evaluates players as he prepares for the NFL Draft, they give you their thoughts on the start of the Mariners homestand and the drama surrounding Angie Mentink in Headline Rewrites, they break down Dan Wilson’s decision to pinch hit Connor Joe for Luke Raley in last night’s loss to the Padres, and they discuss whether we have a Luis Castillo problem on our hands.
Brady is back on a Friday, talking about the M's getting swept at the hands of the San Diego Padres. Dan Wilson is getting a lot of blame, but is it fair? And what do we make of the Luke Raley pinch-hitting decision in Thursday's loss?How much fear we do have about Andres Munoz, and how much worry does he have with himself? And what's the latest on Luis Castillo after another tough outing?We're also joined by M's 2025 draft pick Mason Peters, who is off to a great start at Single-A Inland Empire.
Brady is joined for a rare Friday conversation with ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney, who talks about the pushback against Dan Wilson for how he handled things on Friday night with Luke Raley, the troubles of Andres Munoz and Luis Castillo, and he provides a positive thought amid an 8-12 start.
Get out yer Draftmas Catalogs, we're looking at Defensive Tackles this morning! :30- Mariners Morning After Yeah… the Mariners were swept in San Diego, so we have to talk about it and we have some questions… For instance, why was Connor Joe pinch hitting for one of our hottest hitters? Enough with the lefty-righty thing! :45- We are just bothered by Connor Joe pinch-hitting, Dan seems to be way too focused on stats and doesn't seem to manage with any gut feeling. Before the game yesterday, Andres Munoz said he's not pitching enough and it's not just him. How are we not making adjustments to our bullpen usage?

Headlines and JOSH EDWARDS (CBS Sports) We are one week away from the NFL Draft- what does Josh say about the narrative that this is a bad draft class? We take a look at Josh's mock draft- who does he have the Seahawks picking at 32? Where does Josh see some shakeups happening? Does Josh have any juicy rumors that he could see coming to fruition next Thursday? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - J is for Jackson: as in Jackson Merrill who had the game winning hit AND robbed a home run from Julio and that's happening to frequently. - K is for Killer: we need to see that Killer mentality from Luis Castillo tonight. - L is for Luke: the headline of this game should have been “Luke Raley's on fire,” between Raley and Arozarena, those two are getting it done and they aren't getting a lot of support from the rest of the lineup. :45- Only 7 sleeps away from the NFL Draft! What do we make of the narrative that this Draft isn't exciting?
You have GOT to be effing kidding us! That was just a gross loss last night as the Mariners blew a 4-run lead in the 9th inning. Munoz has been struggling this year, but it wasn't the wrong move to put him in, even though it wasn't a save situation. Muni just didn't have it and now we are coming in to talk about the Mariners not getting swept tonight instead of going for the series win. Why is it that Muni struggles in a non-save situation? Why didn't Dan go with Brash, who is more proven that Ferrer? :30- Mariners Morning After What a total disappointment last night as the Mariners fell to the Padres 7-6 after holding a 6-run lead at one point. Lost in the ugliness were fantastic performances by Emerson Hancock (again) and Luke Raley. :45- This Russini/Vrabel story is literally the talk of the country, not just the sports world. You can't escape it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. The guys discuss the importance of the depth of this Mariners lineup. // Mariners starting pitcher Emerson Hancock joins the show to talk about how much it means to the team to sweep a 4-game series against the Astros at home, what it’s like seeing the offense hit their stride and provide run support, and how it is trying to get through some of the tough times when you or the team are struggling. // Wyman & Bob break down if they believe if the Astros are a broken team and might not be a threat this season. 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.
Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Where do the Seahawks feel more need- cornerback, safety or a combo of the two? What's the plan to fix the hole at running back and are the Seahawks worried about it at all? A look at John Schneider's history of trading draft picks, including the one that ruined the O-Line for years. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - U is for Unbelievable: You really know things aren't going your way when Luke Raley misses 1st base and has to go back on what should have been a double. - V is for Vexed: Can George Kirby figure out how to let things go when they don't go his way? - W is for Wisdom: Patrick Wisdom is a vet down in Tacoma and apparently he's hitting a home run every night, but calling up isn't going to fix the Mariners. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! A lot of people were upset that the Mariners signed Colt Emerson to an 8-year $95 million deal last week when he hasn't had an MLB at-bat. Yesterday the Pittsburgh Pirates one-upped the M's and signed their phenom, Connor Griffin to a 9-year $140 million deal, further proving that the Mariners did the right thing with Emerson and signed him before they had to try and beat other similar contracts.

We start off the show with the Draftmas catalog because we are busy today! Let's take a look at the linebackers available in the draft- there are some very intriguing options if the chips fall correctly. :30- Mariners Morning After Another game, another loss as the Mariners fall to the Rangers 3-2 for their 4th loss in a row. The offense got some hit, but couldn't turn them into runs and George Kirby threw an excellent game aside from 2 mistakes. That combo led to the loss and it seems when things aren't going right, they really aren't going right. :45- A former KJR employee (adjacent) made headlines with a current NFL head coach!
