Chuck and Buck

Beat Bucky! The Kraken Coach Search is on. Did Ron Francis reveal more about his search than we initially thought? We close out with One Last Thing.

ABCs of the Mariners - X: is for X-Rays; we don’t know if Haniger got them yesterday, but it sure looked like he might need them after he slammed into the wall. He’s pretty important to the Mariners success this season, so we need him healthy; maybe slamming into walls shouldn’t be a thing he does. - Y: is for Yanker; Jorge has been “yanking off” everything; what does Bucky mean by that? Gone Fishin! The Miami Heat were sent packing. NBA in Seattle? We aren’t far off!

Sports are in a great place: MLB pitching has entered the era of 100 mph, but Is hitting harder than ever? It’s not more difficult, it’s just different. Velocity vs placement- velocity doesn’t necessarily make it harder to hit. There’s never been a period of time where debates aren’t being had about how to make the sport better and it’s awesome. Baseball is in a great place right now. Angie Mentink (ROOT Sports) joins us ahead of today’s day game as the Mariners look to sweep the Braves.

Mariners walk it off last night and it was pure relief for Mitch Garver. How can the Mariners change their approach to have more success at the plate? Julio is a 10 on talent, likeability and so much more, but when it comes to his approach with runners in scoring position, he’s a -2. Is no one telling him to stop swinging for the fences? Dave Hakstol was fired by the Seattle Kraken yesterday. What happened? KD and Lebron need to move on.

Jeremiah Trotter? Steel Chambers? Christian Mahogany? Zach Zinter?

Day 1 of the NFL Draft is in the books and it was a success! The 1st 4 picks were straight chalk and then came pick #8. Michael Penix to the Falcons sure was polarizing! Was it a smart move for the Falcons to take him? Apparently the Seahawks were trying to move into the top 10 for Penix and they weren’t the only ones. 3 Huskies taken in the 1st round.
