Mitch celebrates local sports achievements, notably Blake Snell's no-hitter and his and Tim Lincecum's unique baseball records.

Hotshot expresses frustration with the rules preventing Piper from playing varsity sports immediately after her transfer, revealing plans to challenge these restrictions legally. Seahawks pregame; will Mitch's pent up excitement result in the proverbial pre-season flop?

Mitch and Dave Grosby discuss the current state of Seattle sports, focusing on the Mariners' recent performance and the Seahawks' new era under Mike McDonald. Despite a strong starting rotation, Grosby expresses concerns about the Mariners' postseason prospects, suggesting organizational changes if the team fails to make the playoffs. Shifting to the Seahawks, Grosby shares his reluctance about preseason football but shows interest in the new coaching strategies and player adaptations.

Mitch hosts the Seahawks no-table, featuring insights from ESPN's Brady Henderson and Hawk blogger Brian Nemhauser. Player spotlights include Jake Bobo's impressive catches and potential rise in the receiver ranks, and DK Metcalf's standout camp performance, suggesting a peak season ahead.

Mitch discusses the Mariners' recent performance with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas. The Mariners scored 57 runs in eight games, a significant increase from their previous performances, attributed partly to new additions like Randy Arozarena and Justin Turner. Joe praises the trade deadline moves, emphasizing their impact on reducing the team's strikeout rates and boosting offensive productivity. Brady highlights the Astros' recent slowdown, which has helped the Mariners keep pace in the division race despite occasional losses.
