Seahawks guard Grey Zabel joins the show to begin the hour to discuss what he's learning in his first training camp, the physical and mental side of the game in the NFL, which veterans he's learning from and more. Salk then discusses how the current Mariners lineup is his favorite one of the year and how this iteration of the offense may be the best one in 20 years. In Blue 88, Brock shares three storylines from training camp on Thursday that really jumped out to him.

0:00.0 | Get to the freaking auto! |
0:01.5 | From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. Jay Buter just punched me in the kidney. We're going to give you what I'm in the way. Don't really work that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of tough. Now here are your hosts, Brock Eward and Mike Salk. Hello. |
0:29.4 | Yeah, having a good morning here on a Friday leading into what I hope is going to be a great weekend for everybody. |
0:33.3 | Mariners, man, get out to the ballpark this weekend if you can. |
0:58.6 | That was a lot of fun last night and seeing the reaction to Gino Suarez and seeing them return home and, you know, kind of look different, better lineup, better everything deeper. I'll make some claims about this Mariner team coming up here in about a half hour. I don't know, maybe I'm going to go too far. But you know what? Today's a day for that. Today's a day to be excited coming off the trade deadline, off adding to the best bats that move this deadline i did write about it should be up this morning at seattle sports dot com kind of what they did and what they were hoping to accomplish and |
1:03.5 | how it all went down so a lot of mariner conversation to come here today and at 730 uh as i said i'll |
1:10.1 | dig into that that that was that was my favorite lineup of the year. |
1:14.2 | And maybe the best lineup the Mariners have put out there. I said since I've been here, I've been in Seattle's 16 years since 2009. |
1:24.1 | I think it's the best lineup I've seen since 2009. There was somebody replied to me last night online and took the OPS of, you know, heading into last night for the nine players in the lineup last night. |
1:37.9 | That team with their OPS average, if you took it out over an entire year, |
1:45.5 | would have been the best lineup the Mariners have put out there since 2001. |
1:51.0 | Now, you know, you'd have to run it out there for a whole year and injuries, this, that, and the other. |
1:55.3 | But that's a pretty telling thing. |
1:57.4 | The one after it was like 2003. |
1:59.4 | And other than that, it was all like stuff in the 90s, right back when baseball was played in a very different way. |
2:06.4 | So, yeah, I would say, I would say that was the best lineup I've seen. |
2:11.2 | And it may have been the best lineup in two and a half decades. |
2:15.1 | It's pretty crazy. |
2:16.6 | And it just kind of materialized here in the last week. Now, you still need the pitching to do its thing. You still need the relievers. And it's too bad they weren't able to get, you know, the other reliever they wanted. But that's the kind of lineup that the Mariners are throwing out there. That's pretty cool. We're waiting on Gray's Able, who we think is going to sit down here in just a moment we'll have an opportunity to chat with him and I'll dig in a little bit more deeply with that mariner stuff at 730 but we do have the mariners left guard gray's able here with us right now good morning sir did I say mariners I'm sorry they're on the brain today that's my bad you don't Mariners. Do you, Gray? You still play for the Seahawks? |
