Get me a freaking out of!

From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. James Butte just punched me in the kidney. We're going to excuse you what I'm going to. That really work 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 Eward and Mike Salk. Hello! Hello! All right, final hour of our week here in the Brock and Salk show. No Brock today. He'll be back on Monday, though, I promise. We'll take your phone calls at 9.30, as we always do. We'll play some fellow cootie, and then we'll see what sort of phone calls you guys have. And my guess is everyone's going to be pretty excited about the Mariners and where they're at and that doesn't usually and why wouldn't you be stacey thank you

that is the voice of stacey ross when you have a chance to make your record the date yeah

you got to take it the date wow so if they no wait they're four and They're four and nine yesterday. Okay, so yesterday their record was the date. They can't do it again tomorrow. And that's a good thing. Right, you don't want to lose. Yeah. Then you'd be four and a four and ten, but on four. It's just gross. Yeah. So anyway, well, hi, Stacey. How are you? Good. What what is going on? So I've been trying to figure out the whole Mariner thing. Yeah.

The what makes a lot of... So anyway, well, hi, Stacey. How are you? Good. What is going on?

So I've been trying to figure out the whole Mariner thing. Yeah. The what makes a lot of sense. I think we all know the what, right? We all know the what. We know they're not hitting. We know that they're not doing the little things. We know they're not executing. The what, like, there's good numbers to back it up. You can look at fastballs that they're missing.

You can look at whballs that they're missing.

You can look at whiffs inside the strike zone, which Luke Arkins had yesterday, which surprised me.

Like, there's so many things that explain the what?

Mm-hmm.

Do you have any idea what the why is?

No, I was, so I spent the annoying thing about saying an opinion on air and attaching yourself to it is when you realize over time, that's not the only reason.

And then you're like, now I got to distance myself from this opinion.

But I think for a while, I thought, oh, well, three notable hitters, barring Randy Rosarena, who's had a good start, three hitters were all in WBC. And the worst of those three Cal was in a WBC where he's also splitting time.

This guy's going days without getting like actual time in a real game facing pitching.

And who knows how much time he's actually getting to like, they're not giving him four hours a day to get

in a cage and then talk with a specialized coach and then tweak little you know things agreed uh so i just

thought oh it's the wbc surely it will write itself and you've seen some improvements like his at bat

against grum was phenomenal and i thought okay this is really encouraging he drew a a walk in another game against the Rangers and maybe that same one I would know.

But and I thought, okay, I feel like there's some improvement here.

I guess grounding out or popping up is better than a strikeout, I guess, right?

Like I'm reaching.
