What's the Mariners BEST PATH to the World Series? | Daily Puck Drop

On Tuesday’s   Daily Puck Drop, Puck starts off the show discussing the best path for the Mariners to the World Series and why having a bye and starting in the divisional round is the way to go. 

Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio joins Puck to preview the wild card series, plus, to discuss the Mariners chances, the best matchup for them in the divisional round, has Cal Raleigh done enough to snatch the MVP away from Aaron Judge and what deems a successful season for the Mariners?

Danny Kelly, The Ringer drops by to chat about the NFL and his visit to Ireland to cover the Steelers and Vikings game. They introduce a new segment, “Danny’s Dimes,” where Danny lists his favorite storylines from the week of NFL games.  Danny admits he may have been wrong about Sam Darnold.  He still misses D.K. Metcalf and the Packers and Cowboys game ending in a tie was un-American! 

Puck heads over to college football and checks in with John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com.   John was on the ground in Happy Valley to watch Oregon defeat Penn State.  How did the Ducks get it done and where does that win put them in their championship aspirations?  Also, why has Oregon adapted so well to the Big Ten and schools like UW, USC and UCLA have not?  UNLV to the Pac-12 is a rumor once again, John answers if there is anything to it.  They also chat about Paul Finebaum running for political office, the Ryder Cup fan behavior, and mercy rules in youth sports. 

Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Enjoy the moment Mariners fans!
