On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore open up the show discussing the Mariners gutsy game one win over Toronto in the ALCS. Bryce Miller was fantastic and Puck makes the case that it was the Mariners most impressive starting performance in playoff history. Puck and Jim have a good laugh on Blue Jays manager John Schneider’s behalf for his comments on Cal Raleigh in the past and his decision to pull Kevin Gausman from the game, a tactical error. Puck and Jim touch on the Seahawks win, JSN’s performance and the Cougars almost shock the world.
Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic joins Puck from Jacksonville to breakdown the Seahawks win over the Jags. The defensive line was the story for the Seahawks and they dominated the game. However, the game should not have been that close, and it’s on the offense and specifically the running game to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Back to the Mariners as Bill Krueger, host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast joins Puck to breakdown the Mariners game one win vs. the Blue Jays and why Bryce Miller was so effective and where is performance ranks in Mariners history. Cal Raleigh continues to dominate the Blue Jays. Jorge Polanco, with each passing game gives you professional at bats and Bill reacts to the Mariners decision to start Logan Gilbert and not Luis Castillo in game two.
Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?” Patience is lost in sports, especially in college football.
