Wyman and Bob Seattle Sports

El Hombre // bullpen is now shaky...which is a problem for a team that likes to play close games // What We Learned

Best of the Rest: -Salk: short term this is frustrating but no reason for long term concern -Stacy & Curtis: a rental might be the thing the Mariners have to do at the deadline this year -Stacy & Curtis: the NL is screwing up the trade deadline -Brock & Salk: weigh in on when this trade deadline will actually start to heat up // discussing Leslie Frazier's comments about the importance of a lockdown corner...and whether the Seahawks actually have one // Sweeping the Dial: -Leslie Frazier: explains what his role is on the Seahawks staff  -Jim Schlossnagle: calls out a reporter for asking him about leaving A&M (proceeds to leave half a day later) -PxP call: Pirates TV broadcast describes Hunter Greene throwing up on the mound

Ryan Rowland-Smith on to talk about the Mariners road trip and the status of the starting rotation // how would we categorize where the Seahawks roster is right now? -in a curious mix of not extremely young but also not filled with superstars -no skill position players are in the top-five at their respective positions // What if Wednesday?  -What if the Mariners lose the division lead before the All-Star break?

An atrocious road trip is finally over-Astros have sliced the division lead from 10 down to 4.5  -Mariners have shown that the offense can't be trusted-despite all of that, still in the division lead - so a trade deadline opportunity that you haven't had in awhile -Julio absolutely has to pick it up // bullpen has suddenly become very shaky and thin  -debating whether the Mariners will still be in first by the trade deadline // Take Two: -Luke Raley scratched with sore shoulder -Astros win their 7th straight, Dallas Keuchel gives up five runs in start v. Rangers // Castillo has not lived up to "ace" level billing  -Gilbert has been the best and most consistent pitcher in the Mariners rotation   -Kirby has elevated his pitching over his last six starts too-re-evaluating our 1-5 in the rotation right now // What's Bugging Bob???-Wyman: that I made him mention his thumb injury - a study about Seattle drivers on average being stuck in traffic for 58 hours last year

Bob and Dave are joined by Mike Blowers to get his thoughts on the Mariners struggles away from T-Mobile Park, his concern about Woo and Miller, and how thinks Scott Servais is helping his team overcome adversity, and they try to figure out what is going wrong with the Mariners offense. 

Bob and Dave look back on the Mariners’ series loss to the Marlins, they break down how concerning their poor play on the road at the halfway point of the season, they give their expectations for their series against the Rays, they look at what Logan Gilbert has done to emerge as the ace of the Mariners pitching staff, and they ask if he will be the only All Star on the Mariners roster.
