RUNDOWN Frustrated by another Mariners series loss, Mitch argues that Dan Wilson's quick hook of Emerson Hancock in Cleveland set off the bullpen dominoes that ultimately cost Seattle the game. He and Hotshot Scott debate whether the manager deserves the blame, discuss why the season isn't lost despite the club slipping under .500, and preview an episode packed with Mariners prospect talk, World Cup excitement, and another edition of Release Date trivia. The Mariners' ugly loss in Cleveland sparks a spirited debate over Dan Wilson's bullpen management, whether Emerson Hancock should have finished the sixth inning, and if Seattle is putting itself in impossible situations with its pitching decisions. Mitch, Brady, and Joe also dissect the confusing six-man rotation strategy, discuss whether Emerson Hancock belongs in the bullpen, evaluate internal reinforcements like Ryan Sloan and Patrick Wisdom, preview the upcoming Angels and Blue Jays series, and make their weekly "Out on a Limb" predictions. MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis joins Mitch to break down another loaded Mariners farm system, offering updates on Colt Emerson's development, Felin Celesten's breakout season, and why Seattle continues to boast one of baseball's deepest prospect pipelines. The conversation also dives into Kade Anderson's rapid rise, Ryan Sloan's ace potential, the upcoming MLB Draft, and how the Mariners could eventually use their prospect depth to chase a World Series. Mitch and Jason Puckett spend another episode doing what they do best—arguing over the Mariners, poking fun at each other's broadcasting habits, and turning small disagreements into entertaining debates. They also dive into Puck's upcoming trip to Spain, the Running of the Bulls, World Cup excitement, and the polarizing reaction to U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jim Callis | Senior Writer for MLB Pipeline Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions, the Mariners' latest collapse, World Cup fever arriving in Seattle, and another entertaining round of Release Date trivia headline the opening segment of Episode 388. 26:50 | Mariners No-Table: Dan Wilson's latest bullpen decisions, the Mariners' muddled pitching plans, growing calls for rotation changes, and another round of "Out on a Limb" predictions fuel this week's Mariners No Table discussion. 1:00:04 | Jim Callis: Callis explains why the Mariners' farm system remains among baseball's best, evaluates Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan's futures, and previews another pivotal MLB Draft for Seattle. 1:21:52 | Jason Puckett: Mitch and Jason Puckett trade playful jabs over the Mariners, preview Puck's Spain adventure, debate the Running of the Bulls, and discuss the golf world's complicated relationship with Wyndham Clark. 1:40:16 | Other Stuff: Justin Bieber at the NHL Draft, Mitch's Justin Bieber karaoke encounter, Phil Mickelson controversy, Buffalo Bills leaving O.J.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh were joined by Sporting News Bulls reporter, Steph Noh on his reaction to the Chicago Bulls hiring former hiring former Portland Trailblazers head coach, Tiago Splitter, as their head coach

Headlines and SPENCER HAWES He's fairly certain he's going through one of the stages of grief following a disappointing loss for the Spurs in the NBA Finals. We are a few days removed from the conclusion of the Finals, so what happened? De'Aaron Fox had a rough series- how does Spencer feel about his play? Knowing Mitch Johnson as well as Spencer does- what does Spencer think about Mitch moving on from this disappointment? Wemby didn't put his best foot forward in some postgame moments- can he right the path or is he on his way to heel status? How impressive is Jalen Brunson? Can either of these two teams make a return to the finals again next year? :30- Cal's back! Finally, Cal is ready to get back into the Mariners lineup after a stint on the IL- what kind of difference can the Mariners leader make upon his return? Cal isn't the only one coming back, JP Crawford should be activated today as well and the 2 veteran leaders can make an instant impact. :45- World Cup fever has officially taken over Seattle after yesterday's first match at Seattle Stadium. Next up the USA meets Australia and we have a feeling it's going to be nuts! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gabe Ramirez breaks down his thoughts on the Chicago Bulls hiring Tiago Splitter as the team's next Head Coach, following an impressive one and only season with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Laurence & Spiegs were joined by Portland Trail Blazers insider Sean Highkin who gave us some intel on Bulls new head coach Tiago Splitter

Andy and Randy talk about whether the Portland Trail Blazers fans feel better about new owner Tom Dundon after his Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup Trophy.

The Chicago Bulls may be closing in on their next head coach — and Bryson Graham could be moving faster than both the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks to secure his preferred candidate. Haize breaks down the latest reports surrounding Tiago Splitter, Micah Nori, Ryan Schmidt, and Wes Unseld Jr., while asking what type of coach best fits the Bulls' rebuild and player-development timeline.Then, could the Bulls quietly benefit from a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo blockbuster trade without actually trading for Giannis? With Chicago projected to have major cap flexibility, Haize explains how the Bulls could become a third-team facilitator, absorb unwanted salary, and potentially walk away with draft capital, young players, or a move up the draft board.Finally, the draft pairing series continues with a deep look at Darryn Peterson and Morez Johnson Jr. Could Peterson fall to the Bulls at No. 4? Would Morez at No. 15 give Chicago the toughness, rebounding, and physical identity Bryson Graham wants? Haize breaks down how that duo would fit with Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis,, and the rest of the post-deadline Bulls roster.The Bulls rebuild is starting to take shape — and this offseason could define the next era in Chicago.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls head coaching search may be entering its final stage — and the Tiago Splitter buzz is getting louder. Haize breaks down Splitter arriving in Chicago for an in-person interview, why the Bulls may be able to offer him more long-term stability than the Portland Trail Blazers, and how Bryson Graham's player-development vision could shape the next era of Bulls basketball.But that is only part of the story. The Bulls also hold the No. 4 and No. 15 picks in the 2026 NBA Draft, and trade-up rumors continue to grow. Could Chicago call teams like the Clippers, Kings, Hawks, Mavericks, or Heat on draft night to move up from No. 15 and grab another high-upside prospect?Haize also dives into one of the most intriguing draft pairings for the Bulls: Cam Boozer at No. 4 and Jayden Quaintance at No. 15. Boozer gives Chicago offensive structure, scoring, rebounding and frontcourt playmaking, while Quaintance brings elite length, rim protection upside and defensive versatility. Could this be one of the cleanest two-pick outcomes for Bryson Graham's rebuild?Topics include:

What happens when a venture capitalist steps out into the front office of a major sports franchise?   In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with entrepreneur, VC, and the new co-owner and alternate governor of the Portland Trail Blazers, Sheel Tyle. We break down the massive shifts happening at the intersection of global technology, venture capital, and professional sports.  Sheel pulls back the curtain on why an NBA franchise is less like a legacy asset and more like a fast-scaling tech startup. He opens up about the reality of being a local team owner, the "external rate of return" that matters more than profit maximizing, and how a new generation of tech-forward owners are preparing for an AI revolution in basketball.  We also dive deep into what it means to be a first-generation Indian-American sports owner, challenging the traditional immigrant path toward stable careers to take massive risks that can shape a community.  Sheel shares insights on:• The Reality of Local Ownership: Navigating the public eye in Portland alongside his wife, Oregon's Secretary of Health.  • The True ROI of Sports: Why building a civic anchor matters far more than just looking at profit margins.  • The Tech Revolution in the NBA: Lessons learned from fellow owners like Steve Ballmer and Mark Lore on how AI will reshape player analytics and fan experiences.  • Redefining Risk for First-Gen South Asians: Honoring our immigrant parents' hard work by having the courage to make bold, unconventional bets.  • The Mindset of a Champion: Why contentment does not mean stasis, and lessons on the grind from Damian Lillard's 6:30 AM gym sessions.  Whether you're a sports fanatic, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone navigating your own "quantum leaps" in life, Sheel's framework for mission-driven leadership offers a compelling blueprint.  If you enjoyed this deep dive, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to scale their own vision!   Chapters:00:00 Introduction03:28 Local Ownership in the Portland Community05:22 The True ROI: Purpose Over Profit Maximization07:41 Is the NBA a Startup?

"My story isn't a basketball story, it's a life story." Greg Oden On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, we sit down with former No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Greg Oden for one of the most honest and powerful conversations of his life. For years, Greg Oden's name has been tied to one word: "bust." Drafted ahead of future MVP and NBA champion Kevin Durant in 2007, Oden became the subject of endless debates about what could have been. But as Durant himself has said, Greg was never truly given a chance—his career was derailed by injuries before the basketball world ever got to see what he could become. In this raw and revealing conversation, Greg reflects on the pressure of being the No. 1 pick, the weight of expectations, and the frustration of seeing his legacy defined by circumstances beyond his control. From his rise as a high school phenom and Ohio State star to the devastating injuries that robbed him of years on the court, Greg shares the emotional and physical battles that shaped his journey. Parts of this conversation bare all as Greg's transparency truly brings his pain and passion to the forefront. He opens up about his time with the Portland Trail Blazers, the criticism and scrutiny that followed him throughout his career, and what it was like earning a second chance with the Miami Heat and reaching the NBA Finals alongside some of the game's biggest names from Lebron James to Dwayne. Wade to Chris Bosh. Beyond basketball, Greg discusses his struggles with mental health, depression, addiction, self-worth, and the challenges of rebuilding his life after the game. He speaks candidly about regrets, losing loved ones, what ifs , public perception, and the process of finding peace with a career that never unfolded the way anyone expected. This episode isn't about what Greg Oden wasn't. It's about who he is, what he endured, and how he found the strength to keep moving forward when the world had already written his story for him. Greg's new chapter is leading as a dedicated father, mentor, college advisor and also filmmaker, with his feature film "Bust" getting ready to release. A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, redemption, and one of basketball's greatest "what ifs." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
