Twins Play by Play Broadcaster Cory Provus joins the show to give us an opponent preview before the Mariners and Twins face off in a 3-game series. How has Ty France been doing on the Twins and how did he earn a spot on the roster? // What are our expectation for this Mariners series against the Twins? Bryan Woo has been dominant on the mound so far this season, what do you want to see from him on Saturday? // Mean Texts
This weekend the Mariners are throwing Woo, Miller, and Castillo against the Twins, what are we expecting from these three arms from the rotation? Kirby has struggled in his two starts back since returning from the IL and Gilbert had a rough outing in his first rehab start in Tacoma. // How concerned are you after yet another game of little production from the Mariners offense? JP, Julio, Cal, Randy, and Polanco combined for 1 hit for a total of 1-18 in Thursday’s game. // What are Wyman & Bob looking forward to seeing at Seahawks OTA’s next week? Seeing the new offense take form with Sam Darnold combine with Cooper Kupp and JSN. Nick Emmanwori has potential to be a great safety and bolster this Seahawks defense. // Sweeping the Dial: Dan Wilson was asked about J.P. Crawford’s ejection in the 6th inning. Sam Darnold: on how it feels to be the clear cut starter this season. Joe Flacco had some issue with being labeled as a mentor for the young Browns QBs
Sam Darnold the Seahawks favorite to be their starting QB was on the Rich Eisen Show to talk about how he is getting used to the new offense that the Seahawks have. He talked about hoe great Cooper Kupp is and what he has learned about one of his WR targets in JSN. The Seahawks have also bolstered their defense, would this account for another win in their record? // Geno Smith is being very well received in Las Vegas and is getting great reviews at Raiders OTA’s. Do you think he can lead the Raiders to success and are you rooting for him? // There is one burning question we have about this Mariners team, why do they struggle at home? Do they need to change their approach at the plate to play to the dimensions of the ballpark? // WHYMAN: LeSean McCoy compared Shedeur Sanders to Tom Brady and Joy Taylor does not quite understand that Aaron Rodgers is not officially on the Steelers.
With the Mariners dropping two of three games to the Nationals in dramatic fashion, was this one of the worst series losses of the season? The lack of offense was a bad sign outside of the bottom of the lineup and the Mariners are only 0.5 games up on the Astros. // Emerson Hancock had one of his better outings last night and had a relatively low pitch count, did it make sense to pull him in the 6th for the lefty-lefty matchup? // Take Two: Logan Gilbert first rehab start last night: 1.2 innings, 2 hits and a run, struck out three, walked two, and hit a batter in a 45-pitch outing, Bryce Miller also returns to the rotation tomorrow. Kraken have hired their next head coach: Lane Lambert, most recently the associate head coach of the Leafs…also the head coach of the Islanders during the 2022 and 2023 seasons // The umpiring in last nights Mariners game was terrible. Should there be a form of umpire accountability like a postgame press conference to explain their calls? What changes would you want to see with the umpiring in the MLB? // Around the MLB: Mike Trout has been activated off the IL after getting injured back on April 30th. Yordan Alvarez is also set to return as soon as this weekend.
