ABC’s of the Mariners
-	D is for Donovan: Brendan Donovan will ultimately settle into the 3rd base spot and ultimately, he’ll cool off a bit as well at the plate, but even with his mistakes, he’s a net positive.
-	E is for Emerson: Colt Emerson made some cash today as the M’s agreed to terms on a new deal. So, when can we expect the young superstar to be called up and how will the team make room for him?
-	F is for Finances: with today’s 8-year, $95 million deal we know we don’t have worry about the future of Colt Emerson in this Mariners organization and we know that when he’s ready, they’ll call him up.

:30- Hard Knocks came calling and the Seahawks answered the call.
Congrats HBO, we’ll be locked in!

GENE STERATORE (CBS Rules Analyst)
Gene is not only a former NFL ref, he also refereed college basketball, so we get his thoughts on March Madness and how much more difficult the sport is to officiate now?
We know Gene was never an umpire in MLB, but we have to get his thoughts on the new ABS system and how tough it would be for the umpires to now have every call scrutinized.
How did he deal with the increased scrutiny when NFL implemented instant replay and how will these umpires deal with the pressure now put on them?
What’s Gene’s outlook on the future of officiating?

:30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP)
The Kraken wrap up a long road trip with a game in Edmonton tonight and Everett gives us the latest on the road trip and what he’s seeing.
Let’s look at our scoring leaders compared to Connor McDavid- how badly does this team need someone in that realm?
With 10 games to go, what has to happen in order for the Kraken to get into the playoffs?

:45- Emerson Hancock wowed on Sunday and has left  lot of people wondering if the Mariners will explore a 6-man rotation.

Headlines and Breaking News!
The Mariners have agreed to terms on an extension with Colt Emerson that could earn him up to $130 Million over 9 years.
Smart business move by both parties or no?
Sean McVay is clearly still bothered by that two-point conversion and he’s making sure to let people know, including Mike MacDonald.

:30- The ABS system is getting a lot of attention in this first week of the 2026 season and last night was no different as the Yankees challenged 5 pitches and got all 5 challenges right. Yankees manager Aaron Boone had words with the Homeplate umpire after that and the Yankees never challenged a pitch again.
How did the umpire get better with that stress?

:45- The final four is set and the research shows that the Michigan/Arizona matchup on Saturday is the 3rd best matchup ever and it’s not even the Championship!

Chuck & Buck 3-31 Hour 2: Headlines and breaking news! Is Sean McVay being petty? The ABS steals headlines again and the massive semifinal matchup.
