Furness Show 5-23: Mariners lose, Storm win, Chris Crawford and Corbin Smith

The Ian Furness Show

Last night we saw quite the show at Climate Pledge Arena, with Jewel Lloyd dominating for the Storm and Cailtin Clark needing more surrounding support.Chris Crawford of My Oh Why joins as the Mariners lose their 4th game of the series with the Yankees. This series would've felt a lot better in the split if the wins and losses were in reverse order. Chris thinks it's a bad idea to 'punish' Julio by dropping him in the order. He deserves a day off, but he's so good defensively that they don't have the ability to replace him in the outfield. As is true for the majority of the pitching staff, the starters need more run support. Dick Fain provided us with an outstanding Mariners stat and the numbers will shock you. Corbin Smith, All Seahawks on SI.com and Locked on Seahawks joins us for his new weekly segment! We got our first look at this year's Seahawks yesterday at the initial open OTAs. Corbin says it's evident that experience is being prioritized early on. It doesn't sound like Abe Lucas will be able to participate in any of OTAs or minicamp. Geno looked extremely comfortable yesterday and Corbin thinks Seattle can win playoff games with him...as long as they figure out the offensive line. Last night brought a historic crown for the Storm and the WNBA in Seattle. Was it a one-off for you as a fan? We were out at Seahawks minicamp yesterday and gained some insight from Mike Macdonald and Geno Smith. How are players adjusting to the new schematics and how is Mike Macdonald taking on his new reigns? We let you take a listen.
