Brock and Salk Seattle Sports

What exactly are we seeing happen with Cal Raleigh? Is he ascending into something beyond what we already thought he was? He is tough, genuine, outspoken, strong, clutch and he is in command - put those five things together, and you have a recipe for a team leader and a fan favorite. Brock's Blue 88. 

Salk opens the show with a story about golfing with more old people on vacation before a new outlook on how he looks at baseball in 'chunks' more than individual games and how it reflects some of the strengths and weaknesses of a roster construction. Is Ty France on a hot seat? We revisit the conversation with Ryan Divish. 

Brock and Salk discuss the focus on specialization and skill development in youth sports and how hard it makes it to be a multi sport athlete today. How can we get back to letting kids be kids and enjoy playing sports more? Then, are we getting closer to the M's needing to make some decisions on their lineup? Josh Rojas and Dylan Moore have exceeded expectations but they need the guys they expected to be good, to show up. Plus, Maura did her homework and watched Rocky IV. She gives her review.

Seahawks rookie guard Christian Haynes joins Mike Lefko and Brock Huard to discuss what draft day was like, his impressions of Seattle, his excitement to work with O-line coach Scott Huff and OC Ryan Grubb and what it means to have a mean streak as an O-linemen. Then, we discuss Austin Rivers comments that you could take 30 NBA players right now and drop them in the NFL but you couldn't do vice versa and Lefko ranks the Mariners best promotional giveaways.

Seahawks cornerback situation has opened up a lot of questions about who/what is the right 'fit' for Coach Macdonald's defense. The Mariners were able to rally again to win a big one in Minnesota and the guy get into what is missing most: consistency. 

Brock and Lefko break down the Mariners win and how Cal Raleigh saved the day & deserves the "C" on his chest, but also how Luis Castillo deserves some credit for that win for what he forced the Twins to do the night before w/ their bullpen. M's beat writer Ryan Divish (Seattle Times) joins the guys from Minnesota to discuss Cal, injuries, and more before Brock's Blue 88.
