The WBC is over and the gold medal game delivered as we expected.
The US lost to Venezuela behind excellent pitching from Venezuela and cold US bats.
Yeah, we wanted the US to win, obviously, but it was great watching Venezuela celebrate their win and no, the US didn’t lose because they didn’t care enough.

:30- We’ve gotta work some Seahawks talk in and yesterday we started talking about Mike MacDonald’s ability to take average players and turn them into valuable contributors.
Is Iggy going to be the new Ty Okada?
And if Mike MacDonald can really take anyone and make them a contributor, then he is going to make John Schneider’s job very easy and the rest of the NFL should be very scared.

:45- Just 8 DAYS til Mariners Opening Day!
How concerned should we be with JP’s shoulder injury and if he’s going to miss significant time, does Colt Emerson get the call up? If it’s just two weeks, is Leo Rivas the answer? We discuss.

Chuck Powell and Bucky Jacobsen are on the air weekdays from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. talking all things Seattle Sports

March Madness starts tomorrow, so we go through the brackets and draft our favorites to win the whole thing and others to win a few…

:30- Will Cal’s rough WBC affect him to start the season?
Last year was the year of Cal and the WBC has been anything but. Will our loveable, all-star catcher let it bother him?

:45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

Chuck & Buck 3-18 Hour 4: Who is going to win it all? Placing blame and one last thing!

No, the US didn’t lose the WBC because they didn’t care. Enough.
Yes, Venezuela cared more, that was apparent with the emotions they showed during the tournament and after winning and that’s ok, it doesn’t mean that the US didn’t care.
How much criticism should Mark DeRosa face for his managerial decisions during the WBC and are those criticisms fair?

:30- AL KINISKY (KAN color analyst)
The Kraken are headed out on a 6-game road trip and it would have been nice for them to be on a 3-game win streak heading into it, but they fell short against Tampa Bay last night, what happened?
How many points do the Kraken realistically need to expect on this road trip?
What are Al’s first impressions of newcomer Bobby McMann?

:45- Now that Maxx Crosby is back in Las Vegas, he’s speaking out about the failed trade to Baltimore…
He was so excited to be a Raven, but let’s just say we wouldn’t blame him for holding a grudge against the Ravens for the way they handled things.

Chuck & Buck 3-18 Hour 3: WBC criticism, Al Kinisky and the Ravens did Maxx real dirty...

Headlines and WBC talk after last night’s gold medal match.
Cal didn’t play in the last two games and while Cal hasn’t been hitting in the WBC,  the US offense couldn’t get going at all, so should Cal have been put into the lineup?
Yes, you want to ride the hot hand, but Will Smith wasn’t hot either and both were getting on the base at the same clip, so maybe DeRosa should have shaken things up when his original plan wasn’t working.

:30- In this offseason it’s been very clear that where there’s smoke, there’s fire and if there’s rumors that someone’s getting traded, chances are high that they’re getting traded.
-	The rumors have been heating up that the Dolphins would be interested in shopping Devon Achane, should the Seahawks go get him and what would we want to see them give up?

:45- It’s time to get Reckless at Breakfast!
It would be foolish to assume that the Sonics returning is a done deal and it would be really foolish to start thinking about who would be on the 2028-29 Sonics roster, right?

Chuck & Buck 3-18 Hour 2: It wasn't a good WBC for Cal, we welcome him home, the Smoke = Fire and we get Reckless at breakfast with the NBA.
