Plus, we take your calls, as we do every Friday.
Brock and Salk highlight one X-Factor to a Mariners win in Game 5. Later, gee Scott stops by for his weekly appearance.

They also look ahead to Game 5 and discuss why losing the last two games doesn't mean the sky is falling. In Blue 88, topics include why emotional quotient matters at QB, how the Texans are the best scoring defense in the NFL and one trend that the Seahawks have bucked on this year.
The Mariners drop two straight at home in the ALCS to even the series up at 2-2 and both losses have come in ugly fashion, so Salk lets everyone express their frustration while explaining some of his own to open the show.

The Mariners are now in a position where they have gone from needing to have gritty resillience to killer instinct due to their 2-0 ALCS lead. And Brock and Salk talk through how they don't think that will be a huge issue for them. They also play sound from both Toronto and from Craig Carton once again regarding the Mariners and how people are starting to finally learn about them (or, at least some of them are). In Blue 88, topics include the Seahawks offensive line struggles, a Sam Darnold stat that Brock is confident that he thrives in and what Mark Schlereth took away from Mike Macdonald.
Craig Carton, formerly of WFAN, has a take on the Mariners and Bryce Miller that is truly awful. And Salk reacts to it. Afterwards, they re-air their conversation with Jeff Passan of ESPN to discuss the Mariners playoff run, the first two games of the ALCS, Jorge Polanco and more.

It was arguably the greatest collective weekend in Seattle sports history, so Brock and Salk go through a bunch of it.

In Blue 88, topics include Sam Darnold's deep ball passing, the Seahawks pass rush group on Sunday and Demond Williams.
The Mariners won one of the greatest baseball games in recent memory in Game 5 of the ALDS and Salk goes through a bunch of what made the game and experience so amazing. Then, he takes callers to hear what jumped out to them most throughout the Seattle sports weekend.
After 22, the M's introduced that horrific Home Run Trident and their offense has had as much growth as a napalmed rice patty field ever since. Look, this organization has issues, but they should not be this frustrating. Get rid of that thing.
Embarrassing game that should make the fan base wake up and revolt. Stanton should never be allowed to show his face near T-Mobile without drawn and quartered. oh, and another thing, the CCs suck and should be demolished on the pitchers' mound in a Disco demolition night inspired sacrifice to the Baseball Gods for forsaking this decent city for so long.
5 great pitchers can get you to the playoffs even with a league average offense, but only in the National League.
