| 0:00.0 | Hey, thanks for downloading the Brock and Salk podcast. We're psyched to be back and really proud to have this podcast powered by a |
| 0:05.9 | Sen Prime steak and sushi elevated dining with panoramic views and downtown Bellevue. Now on to the show. |
| 0:12.1 | This is Brock and Salk. I don't read the internet yet. |
| 0:17.6 | Presented by Carter, Volkswagen and Ballard. Take the pull by the hands. |
| 0:21.2 | On Seattle Sports. Powered through the Alaska Airlines Studio. |
| 0:25.2 | And Brock, you are. And Brock, you are. Now here are your hosts, Brock, you are and Mike Salk. |
| 0:34.3 | Well, as great as things were for the Seahawks yesterday, that's how bad they were for the Mariners this weekend as they |
| 0:41.6 | are swept aside by the LA Dodgers. Dodgers, a good team, right? I mean, no doubt Dodgers are a good team, |
| 0:50.1 | but getting swept. Certainly not what you're looking for down the stretch here with that time only 16 games left to play. |
| 0:57.3 | Now you're on to 13. I got a text from Joe Fan this weekend. Oddly, I hadn't heard from Joe in a while, |
| 1:02.5 | but I got a text from Joe this weekend saying, where are you at with this team? |

| 1:11.0 | They're playing worse than they were at the beginning of the season when everyone was freaking out about them. |
| 1:16.1 | As bad as things were then, they were playing 500 baseball. They're not playing 500 baseball in September. |
| 1:22.0 | They're not even close to that. So the difference right now is, I think mostly on the mound, |
| 1:28.9 | the bats have been a problem. The bats have gone back roughly to where they were at the beginning of the year. |
| 1:34.3 | But the arms have been nowhere close. I mean, just where they are by month, hugely, hugely problematic. |
| 1:42.5 | You start, look, I mean, whatever stat you want to look at, I always look at OPS, the OPS against, |
| 1:47.5 | they're giving up essentially an 800 OPS in September Brock. |
| 1:52.0 | That's a whole lot of stuff, right? As a stat. 6.45, 6.55, 6.72 in July, 6.49 in August, 7.96 in September. |
| 2:03.6 | That's not Mariner baseball. So yes, the offense has been problematic and you can go look at it. |
| 2:09.6 | It has certainly not been great, but it has been majorly, majorly different on the pitching side of it. |
