Daily Puck Drop, Mon., June 23 - Raleigh dominance, Solano breakout and Sonics nightmare

June 23, 2025

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy.   They start off Monday’s show debating the best sports columnist in Seattle Sports history and their love affair with John McGrath, a long time columnist for the Tacoma News-Tribune.  They also discuss the dominating season for Cal Raleigh.  They eat some humble pie on their comments about Donovan Solano from Friday’s show.  Jim starts his new job as a golf marshal and is struggling with his responsibilities.    Sonics fans had their worst nightmare come true on Sunday, but Puck wasn’t that upset.  Pac-12 has a new media deal, but the particulars are limited.  

After Jim leaves the show, Puck is joined by Bill Kruger, host of the Old School Baseball podcast.  You can follow Bill on twitter @oldschool_MLB for his daily videos on the Mariners.  Bill describes what it’s like playing at Wrigley Field in those blustery conditions and how it affects the pitchers.  Bill wants to see more from George Kirby, especially with his changeup.  Cal Raleigh is a machine and Puck and Bill marvel at what he’s doing at the plate and behind it. The Mariners offense continues to be one of the best offenses on the road, why is it so different than at home?

Puck gives a quick plug on an upcoming interview with former MLB player Travis Snider before he wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!”
