Get to the freaking out of!

From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. James Heuter just punched me in the kidney. We're going to give you what I'm going to. That really worked that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of does, though. Now here are your hosts, Brock Eard and Mike Salk. Hello.

Brock, I think you're absolutely right.

It is important to, you know, put everything that's happened recently into context and try to celebrate some of the real positives of this season.

There were a lot of them.

This is a lot of fun.

This Mariners season was fun. It brought, I think, some of the fun back for a lot of them. This is a lot of fun. This Mariners season was fun.

It brought, I think, some of the fun back for a lot of people that had lost it over the last few seasons where I think some of their frustration got the better of them. And then ultimately they were able to come back and enjoy the game and enjoy the team, enjoy the personalities, enjoy winning, enjoy the postseason

and honestly getting places they hadn't been before in years. Like there was really a lot done

this year, the emergence of the superstar in Cal Raleigh, Julio, I think finding his right

spot in the second half of the season, some really good young players.

I think we're going to have fun conversations about,

like I don't want to skip over that.

I'm with you.

I think that stuff's important.

Are you sure that fun is the right attitude?

Fun in the way baseball can be fun.

I think meaningful.

Like just,

gosh, it felt like real substantial meaningful like it you know

and hard like i think it was a reminder to a lot of us how hard this baseball journey is we hear

that said right it's just like a lot of people are like yeah you know what i'm gonna do on my bucket
