Get to the freaking auto! 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 running. That really worked that way, Sherman. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of true. Now here are your hosts, Brock Eard and Mike Salk. Hello.

Morning Brock.

Ugly loss.

Very ugly.

Very ugly.

One of the ugliest of the year, really.

Not how many of those clunkers?

That was just a real clunker.

I mean, just not competitive. Yeah, didn't hit, didn't pitch, didn't do anything. Scoring differential killer yesterday. Just a scoring differential. Thankfully, it's just one loss. We'll put that one in the 54 losses category of the... Every team wins 54. Every team loses 54. And it's what you do with the other ones in the middle. We'll put that one in the 54 losses category.

So not going to overreact to it.

Not going to spend a lot of time, you know, hand wringing over it. But I do think there are three questions that came out of it for me that are worth asking.

And they're not just about this game, but this game kind of points them out.

Okay.

Question one. What's the deal of Brian Wu on the road? What is the deal? He is so good at home.

He's not the same pitcher on the road. It hurts the team. It hurts his value. I mean, I don't know the

answer. I'm guessing no one knows the answer. I would guess it has

something to do with being willing to throw fast balls in the strike zone and what happens to

those balls here in Seattle where, yeah, they might get hit in the air, but they don't go out of

the park. But he didn't get hit out of the park yesterday. They just hit screaming Mimi's all over

the place, gap to gap.

Did you see, I think I sent you guys the numbers last night, now updated home in a way splits.

And if I remember right, wasn't he a guy last year amidst all the guys on the team that always, you know, their home splits are always going to be better.
