Show notes

Puck starts off the show busting Jim’s chops because he can’t figure out his microphone settings and Puck is begging him to take it to a computer store. Jim and Puck spend much of their show discussing the Mariners and their sweep of the San Diego Padres. Jim argues and for good reason that Bryan Woo is now pitching like the ace of the staff and what makes the Mariners so dangerous is if they can get into the postseason their pitching can be so dominant. Puck is heading down to Bend this weekend for a baseball tournament and is annoyed with Jim that he won’t be there this weekend. They react to Scottie Scheffler winning the PGA Championship and what makes him so likable. Puck celebrates the Ballard High School baseball and softball team for winning the Metro Championships in the same year! The Denver Nuggets couldn’t help out Seattle and take out Oklahoma City.

Bill Krueger, host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast joins Puck for his weekly visit talking Mariners baseball.

Bill spends a lot of time talking about the Sunday performance of Bryan Woo and the overall performance of Woo for the season. Why his mechanics and delivery make him so consistent and talented.

Puck and Jim then welcome Chris Egan from KING 5 to the show and Egan reacts right away to Jim’s story about going to Wrigley Field. Like Jim, Egan had no clue what the Vedder Cup is, but is excited to see what the Mariners do in San Diego. Egan is optimistic about the upcoming Seahawks season and thinks they have a great shot at going 12-5. The boys chat about the Seahawks cracking down on Seahawks fans selling their tickets to opposing fans. Egan and Jim like the idea, but Puck has an issue with it and doesn’t like what they are doing. Egan went to Arizona last weekend to move his college son out and was horrified at what he saw in his apartment.

After Puck says goodbye to Egan and Jim, he welcomes in “The Scout”, an anonymous MLB scout who joins Puck every Friday to get the inside scoop on the Mariners. This week they talk about the recent struggles of Ben Williamson, the red hot play of Cole Young in Tacoma, what does he look for right away in a prospect, Bryan Woo and his dominating fastball, he builds his perfect player with current MLB players and they wrap up discussing the upcoming MLB draft where the Mariners have the third overall selection and the The Scout details all the promising talent in the Northwest that can be drafted in the first round.
