RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot open Episode 339 by revisiting one of Seattle sports fans' oldest wounds — the Sonics' departure — while Oklahoma City dances in the NBA Finals.

Chris Crawford is in for Ian! We are in good moods because of the Mariners' performance, but not happy about what happened in the NBA. MOLLYWHOP SPECIAL! Nathan Bishop joins Chris Crawford and Anders Hirst for a full-blown breakdown of the Mariners' weekend. Nathan is...happy? The guys break down the series, the moves the team recently made and look ahead to what to expect leading up to the All-Star break. Cal Raleigh is named AL player of the week, which isn't unexpected, but is his offensive performance sustainable as an everyday player? The Daily Power Play! We reflect on the most recent moves the Kraken have made. Are we bad people for rooting against OKC?
