Speaker 2: traded with Baltimore, got veteran outfitter Taylor Ward. The Ms
0:29
Speaker 2: give up Arita, Alex Hoppey and two minor leaguers not
0:31
Speaker 2: on their top prospects ex. Brockmore Harrison criving to Baltimore.
0:36
Speaker 2: Wards thirty two years old. He's a rental. He's on
0:37
Speaker 2: a one year proven deal with Baltimore. Had thirty six
0:39
Speaker 2: home runs last year as the Angels right fielder. He's
0:42
Speaker 2: the left fielder this year for Baltimore. He's now an
0:45
Speaker 2: on bass guy. He's gone from thirty six home runs
0:47
Speaker 2: to seven and now leads the American League in walks
0:49
Speaker 2: with eighty seven. Taylor Ward, thirty two years old, on
0:53
Speaker 2: his way to the Mariners outfield I'd as soon played
0:56
Speaker 2: right field where he did for the Angels. Leave a
0:58
Speaker 2: Rosrena and left. They shouldn't have traded Rosary. They better
1:01
Speaker 2: Nott Trader Rosary than he ever bet they can get
1:04
Speaker 2: He's he hits left handed pitching. That's another reason that
1:07
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward is now going to the Mariners. The Mariners
1:10
Speaker 2: event Forul weekend ended with their first series winning a
1:12
Speaker 2: month consecutive walk off wins over the Twins of the Yard.
1:15
Speaker 2: Cold Emerson did this in the bottom of the ninth
1:17
Speaker 2: to win it one two live. They said, dog game,
1:22
Speaker 2: cold Emerson his first career walk up dog and the
1:26
Speaker 2: Mariners take down the Twins and nine seven to six.
1:30
Speaker 2: They walk them on for the second and second a day. Yeah,
1:34
Speaker 2: that's Aron Goldsmith on Mariners TV. The second consecutive walk
1:37
Speaker 2: off Cal Rawley double playball that got botched by the
1:40
Speaker 2: Twins first baseman was the walk off on Saturday. So
1:42
Speaker 2: they get the series win. But the trash Cans have
1:45
Speaker 2: won six in a row. They swept Texas, I mean
1:49
Speaker 2: swept Texas right out of it. I mean, Rangers are
1:52
Speaker 2: reportedly not gonna sell everybody on the team. After that loss.
1:55
Speaker 2: We talked to the beat right last week. They said
1:57
Speaker 2: that this week would be make or break for Texas,
1:58
Speaker 2: and they broke. The trash Cans are up by two
2:01
Speaker 2: and a half over Texas in three over the Mariners.
2:05
Speaker 2: How many times just when we said, all you are
2:06
Speaker 2: a six game win streak from first place company.
2:09
Speaker 3: I mean we that's all we need. And then they
2:12
Speaker 3: did it. The Trashcans did it.
2:15
Speaker 2: Big marinersers. Of course, Over the weekend, Jerry Poto traded
2:18
Speaker 2: Luis Castilla to the Chicago White Sox. The Socks are
2:21
Speaker 2: going to take on all of his money twenty three
2:23
Speaker 2: the pro ration of the twenty three million this year,
2:25
Speaker 2: the twenty three million guaranteed next year, and the contract
2:28
Speaker 2: option that Castillo has for twenty twenty eight. A clean break.
2:32
Speaker 2: I can't believe you did that. For one of the
2:33
Speaker 2: back of baseball. The White Sox gave the Mariners right
2:36
Speaker 2: handed pitcher Sir Anthony Dominguez outfit or Nolan Jones center
2:40
Speaker 2: outfit or Boston Smith, formerly the White sox number fifteen
2:43
Speaker 2: prospect through Major League Baseball. Now he's Seattle's fourteenth best
2:48
Speaker 2: prospect according to MLB dot Com. Marriers are off today.

Speaker 2: They begin a home series against Detroit tomorrow or trade
2:54
Speaker 2: deadline news. Of course, we know the Tigers traded Trek
2:57
Speaker 2: scobl to the Dodgers the Death Star. They have all
3:00
Speaker 2: the great players in the sport.
3:01
Speaker 3: Now, did they even need anything more?
3:04
Speaker 4: No, exactly, They're just kind of showing off at this point.
3:08
Speaker 2: They'll just keep deferring contracts into the thirtieth century and
3:12
Speaker 2: worry about it later. Cups acquired starter Kevin Gosman from Toronto.
3:17
Speaker 2: Looks like the Blue Jays are selling off, But then

4:28
Speaker 2: like a Berlin wall to the US.
4:30
Speaker 4: They did hit that, but yeah, I don't know. I

4:38

4:41
Speaker 2: early at based Studios in Seattle.
4:43
Speaker 3: Good morning, ma'am, good morning, how was your weekend?
4:46
Speaker 2: Awesome? The very Seattle Northwest weekend?
4:49
Speaker 3: Thank you yeah, would in camp O, Kayaking.
4:53
Speaker 2: No, we stayed local. We stayed urban. Actually, we went
4:55
Speaker 2: to the Ed Shearon Show. My wife loves Ed Shearon.
4:59
Speaker 3: Our daughter I saw your post that.
5:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, our daughter gave my wife two tickets to the
5:04
Speaker 2: Ed Sheering Show for Christmas. So we were on the floor.
5:07
Speaker 2: I've never really been on the floor for a stadium show.
5:09
Speaker 2: Its pretty interesting. Yeah, it was a great show. I
5:12
Speaker 2: mean he played for about three hours and my wife
5:16
Speaker 2: was singing. I knew a few of the songs, but
5:18
Speaker 2: she was singing to all of them, and he at
5:21
Speaker 2: the last after he came out from the encore for
5:23
Speaker 2: the last three songs. He was wearing a gray Seahawks
5:26
Speaker 2: rivalry series jersey that the ones they wore against the
5:29
Speaker 2: Rams last December. But it didn't have a number on it.
5:32
Speaker 2: It looked weird. It was like he was a knockoff
5:34
Speaker 2: or something. It was just numberless. Thought. I thought he
5:38
Speaker 2: should have had a Sam Donald number because he's a redhead.
5:41
Speaker 2: He has kind of passing resemblance to Sam Donald. Cheering.
5:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ginger stick together usually.
5:47
Speaker 2: Yes, it was packed. The place was packed. Floor, seating
5:51
Speaker 2: was packed. I thought it was a great show. Three
5:53
Speaker 2: hours of Ed Shearing and then yes, three hours. Yeah,
5:56
Speaker 2: a long show. Well, the opening a start at six o'clock.
6:00
Speaker 2: We didn't get either till eleven. I didn't. We didn't
6:02
Speaker 2: go for the very first act. But there were two
6:04
Speaker 2: opening acts Hu and then he played for three hours
6:07
Speaker 2: that Sharon did, Thank you Ed. They had a stage
6:11
Speaker 2: that went from the two stages. They had a stage
6:13
Speaker 2: that was back in the normal set, and then they
6:15
Speaker 2: had a bridge that kept coming in and on a
6:17
Speaker 2: mechanical bridge that he would walk across, and then when
6:20
Speaker 2: he got onto the second front stage, it was really
6:22
Speaker 2: close to us. It was a cool deal.
6:23
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
6:24
Speaker 2: They've also it's now the Sphere, at least his concert
6:29
Speaker 2: the influence of the Sphere. Have you ever been to
6:30
Speaker 2: a show at the Sphere?
6:31
Speaker 3: No, I haven't. Yes, you mean yeah, no.
6:34
Speaker 2: We saw you too there when Washington and Oregon played
6:37
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve championship game, my wife flew down. I
6:39
Speaker 2: was covering it, and we flew down for the next night.
6:41
Speaker 2: The U two showed the Sphere a couple of years ago,
6:44
Speaker 2: and the giant screen is just all these colors and
6:47
Speaker 2: a kaleidoscope of colors, and it's visually overstimulating, distracting almost.
6:52
Speaker 3: That's because you were probably not impaired enough. Well, yeah,
6:57
Speaker 3: those are done for some other things.
7:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And but at Sharon's stage was that
7:05
Speaker 2: it was the whole stage and my wife and I
7:07
Speaker 2: were like, we kind of just like to focus on
7:09
Speaker 2: him playing all his guitars. And he has this really
7:12
Speaker 2: cool he calls this tour the Loop Tour, and he
7:16
Speaker 2: has a device that he explained at the very start
7:18
Speaker 2: of the show. At his feet are pedals, like drum pedals, yep.
7:23
Speaker 2: And he's a literally he's a one man band, and
7:25
Speaker 2: he'll play. If he wants to do percussion, he'll pound
7:27
Speaker 2: on the drum with his hands. Yeah, and then yeah,
7:32
Speaker 2: and he did it the whole show. And he would
7:35
Speaker 2: bring out a keyboard every once in a while and
7:36
Speaker 2: start a keyboard and that would be his track for
7:39
Speaker 2: the song and loop it and yeah. So it's called
7:42
Speaker 2: the Loop Tour and he was using it the whole time,
7:44
Speaker 2: and they were, yeah, I thought that was kind of interesting,
7:46
Speaker 2: But I, yeah, I could do without the sphere, Like
7:48
Speaker 2: the whole stage was the screen. I mean, I was
7:51
Speaker 2: trying to be nicer to just focus on him anyway.
7:54
Speaker 3: That's really cool though.
7:56
Speaker 2: It was.
7:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw Howie Day is the first person I
7:59
Speaker 4: ever saw do that do the loop and phenomenal performance.
8:03
Speaker 3: So I always enjoy it when musicians do that.
8:06
Speaker 2: And then yesterday we saw the Blue Angels canceled. On Saturday,
8:10
Speaker 2: we were out here of practice and right wait where
8:12
Speaker 2: the Blue Angels at about three o'clock the wind. Yeah, and
8:16
Speaker 2: if you for those, it might have been upset that
8:18
Speaker 2: they were canceled. If there's wind for the Blue Angels,
8:20
Speaker 2: that's a problem because if there are a couple inches
8:23
Speaker 2: off when they're measurements and timing, they crash and die.
8:26
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
8:27
Speaker 4: I was at Mariner's, you know, reporting for the station
8:30
Speaker 4: on Friday, and we got to see them fly over
8:34
Speaker 4: in practice. You're talking inches, like you said, the four
8:37
Speaker 4: men and four plane formation that they make when it's
8:40
Speaker 4: kind of looks like a diamond. Yeah, they could like
8:44
Speaker 4: throw a piece of gum at each other.
8:45
Speaker 2: And then at the end at six, the show closes
8:48
Speaker 2: with six of them going across Lake Washington. Yeah, you
8:50
Speaker 2: have to be exactly per Yes, I had to laugh
8:53
Speaker 2: when Bud Clark on Saturday. So the Blue Angels, the
8:57
Speaker 2: pilots came out on Friday night to the Seahawks, as
9:00
Speaker 2: they often do, Mike McDonald invited them to talk about
9:04
Speaker 2: their training program and their discipline, and the mental and
9:06
Speaker 2: physical discipline is unbelievable. I mean, you can't scratch your eye,
9:09
Speaker 2: you can't wipe sweat off your brow, the g forces
9:12
Speaker 2: of them when they drop, and keep yourself from passing out.
9:15
Speaker 2: You have to be physically and mentally incredibly in shape.
9:19
Speaker 2: And he was. They were explaining all this to the
9:21
Speaker 2: Seahawks on Friday night. So someone has Bud Clark after
9:24
Speaker 2: practice on Saturday about the visit for the Blue Angels,
9:27
Speaker 2: and he was like, the rookie safety, second round pick. Yeah,
9:30
Speaker 2: they train and practice like we do. We practice similar
9:33
Speaker 2: to them, and it's the kind of the same day.
9:35
Speaker 2: We share a lot of the sand. And I'm thinking, no, sir, no, no, no,
9:38
Speaker 2: it's different.
9:39
Speaker 3: It's not even close different.
9:41
Speaker 2: If Bud Clark is a step out, he gets yelled
9:43
Speaker 2: at by a coach. Blue ages are step out. They
9:46
Speaker 2: crash and burn and die at. Nobody in the world
9:52
Speaker 2: trains and is precise and is mentally physically tough as
9:55
Speaker 2: the Blue Angels. Those they're amazing, they really are. But Yeah,
9:58
Speaker 2: yesterday's show was awesome across like Washington. We got out
10:01
Speaker 2: on the paddleboards right off Madrona Beach and they come
10:04
Speaker 2: right over your head there.
10:06
Speaker 3: I only did that once. I was on a boat.
10:08
Speaker 4: It was a small one, but I only did it
10:10
Speaker 4: once out there on Lake Washington, and it was an
10:13
Speaker 4: experience I'll never forget.
10:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's if you haven't done it, go out. It's
10:17
Speaker 2: great to see from the shore. But if you get
10:20
Speaker 2: some kind of craft a boat or even just paddleboards
10:23
Speaker 2: or kayaks and go out over the water, they fly
10:25
Speaker 2: right over you, just north of the I ninety bridge.
10:28
Speaker 2: So that's what we did. Yes it was a very
10:30

Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball trade deadline and the Mariners are
11:12
Speaker 2: right in the middle of it. They just traded for
11:13
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward this morning, the outfielder from the Baltimore Orioles,
11:17
Speaker 2: thirty two years old. It's a rental. He's on a
11:20
Speaker 2: one year deal pro rated twelve million. The Mariners are
11:23
Speaker 2: going to take on. They traded three pitching minor two
11:27
Speaker 2: minor league pitchers not in their top prospect list, and
11:30
Speaker 2: Alex Hoppy, who we've seen at times here at the
11:31
Speaker 2: Mariners not perform all that great. So it's not they're
11:34
Speaker 2: not giving up much. You shouldn't for a rental who's
11:37
Speaker 2: thirty two years old. We'll see how Taylor Ward fits in.
11:41
Speaker 2: He's an outfield He played mostly right field with the Angels.
11:44
Speaker 2: He's played left field exclusively this year for the Orioles.
11:47
Speaker 2: I'd have to think he goes into the right field.
11:49
Speaker 2: They should keep a Rose arena for they need offense
11:52
Speaker 2: and then don Canzone maybe the guy who moves to
11:55
Speaker 2: designated hitter with Ward. We're arriving. We will see that
12:00
Speaker 2: anything we saw I saw this weekend at Seahawks practice,
12:03
Speaker 2: you'll hear from Tory Horton. Horton is back. He's on
12:06
Speaker 2: the field six of the first seven practices. He's practiced,
12:09
Speaker 2: last four times, he's been on eleven on eleven scrimmages
12:12
Speaker 2: all the way back from that mysterious shin injury. What
12:15
Speaker 2: the heck was that that cost him his rookie season
12:17
Speaker 2: in November. Well, he explained all of this, including the
12:20
Speaker 2: fact that he had surgery in February a metal rod
12:23
Speaker 2: inserted into his leg. We'll explain why. You'll hear firsthand
12:28
Speaker 2: from Tory Horton on his adventures since November. But he's
12:31
Speaker 2: fully back now and looks like he's running pretty well.
12:35
Speaker 2: At eleven o'clock, you're gonna hear from Nick Minette, not
12:37
Speaker 2: Nick Finnette. We just talked to him last week. We're

12:50
Speaker 2: to Scott about what the White Sox are doing, taking
12:54
Speaker 2: on all the money of Luis Castilla, which surprised me,
12:57
Speaker 2: and what these Mariners are getting back in return. And
13:02
Speaker 2: they got a reliever, they've got a couple outfielders, a
13:05
Speaker 2: top twelve prospect from the White Sox. We're going to
13:07
Speaker 2: talk to Scott Markland at eleven o'clock. He's the beat
13:12
Speaker 2: writer for the White Sox at MLB dot com eleven thirty,
13:16
Speaker 2: as we do every day eleven thirty year textan talkbacks
13:18
Speaker 2: on the Takoma Dodge text line four nine four five
13:20
Speaker 2: one before Ian comes out here and joins me to
13:23
Speaker 2: talk about what he's seeing at Seahawks and I'm.
13:26
Speaker 4: Lonely back here. I like your talkbacks. Yeah, give me
13:30
Speaker 4: some voices.
13:31
Speaker 2: Please see fair ended with the higher plane races, and
13:35
Speaker 2: I talked about the Blue Angels. Yesterday was George Kirby's
13:39
Speaker 2: final Mariners start yesterday. It could be he's subject to
13:43
Speaker 2: trade rumors. Three o'clock's the deadline today, and the starting
13:47
Speaker 2: pitcher had something to say about that after the game yesterday.
13:50
Speaker 5: You know, with everything going on, just try and go
13:53
Speaker 5: out there and you know, do my best. So it
13:57
Speaker 5: was a little bit of motivation, I guess. But yeah,
14:00
Speaker 5: you know, well up this place, so I want to
14:02
Speaker 5: stay here. I want to show them that I'm worthy
14:04
Speaker 5: of it.
14:05
Speaker 2: So George Kirby, talking after yesterday's start the Mariners winning
14:10
Speaker 2: the series against Minnesota, Kirby the subject of trade rivers,
14:13
Speaker 2: along with Emerson Hancock, the two pictures under under club
14:16
Speaker 2: control that could fetch the most in a trade in
14:20
Speaker 2: return if they do trade those young starters. But I
14:23
Speaker 2: have to think now, jess Man, now that they've traded
14:26
Speaker 2: Castillo and they've broken up the six pitcher logjam that
14:29
Speaker 2: cause the piggyback and the six man rotation, I'm taking
14:32
Speaker 2: there holding on to Kirby.
14:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hancock, I feel I think I reference this movie
14:37
Speaker 4: a little too much.
14:38
Speaker 3: But Wolf of wall Street, I ain't going nowhere.
14:42
Speaker 4: But no, I don't see them doing anything with him.
14:45
Speaker 4: I don't see what you could get in return to
14:49
Speaker 4: make that worth it, to be honest with what we've
14:52
Speaker 4: talked about, with what's out there, But I don't see
14:56
Speaker 4: Kirby going anywhere at this point.
14:58
Speaker 2: If you think it's for an impact they got, I
15:01
Speaker 2: don't know how it will see how impact it is.
15:03
Speaker 2: But they did get a bat this morning if you
15:04
Speaker 2: missed it. Off the top of the show, Taylor Ward
15:06
Speaker 2: from the Orioles for Alex Hoppy and two minor league
15:09
Speaker 2: pitchers who are not their top prospects coming to the
15:12
Speaker 2: Mariners as Alex. There's Taylor Ward, thirty two year old outfield.
15:16
Speaker 2: We'll see where he plays right field or left field.
15:17
Speaker 2: He's been a left fielder all this season with the Orioles.
15:20
Speaker 2: He was a right fielder last year with the Angels.
15:22
Speaker 2: He had thirty six home runs for the Angels. Last
15:24
Speaker 2: year he had twenty five home runs for the Angels
15:27
Speaker 2: a year before that. He has seven home runs this year.
15:31
Speaker 2: Chuck was mentioning last half hour about this, but Ward
15:34
Speaker 2: has gone from a home run guy to an on
15:36
Speaker 2: base guy. Now. He's got an over four to fourteen
15:39
Speaker 2: on base percentage against left handed pitching, which is why
15:42
Speaker 2: he's here. His three eighty three on base overall, he's
15:45
Speaker 2: leading the American League with walks. I mean, his on
15:48
Speaker 2: base is higher than anybody on the Mariners team by far,
15:52
Speaker 2: and that's why he's here. Not so much against right
15:55
Speaker 2: handed pitching, but you'd think if they're trading for him.
15:58
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna start him every day. I would think
16:00
Speaker 2: dom Canzone now goes to DH keep a rose arena
16:03
Speaker 2: in left. I don't think they're trading a Rosarina even.
16:05
Speaker 3: No, no, no, there's no way they're trading.
16:08
Speaker 2: Brandy now, that most consistent hitter.
16:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a very weird market this year. There's just
16:14
Speaker 4: not these obvious things. Obviously Schooble was a huge one.
16:18
Speaker 4: But there's not, at least for Mariner's intents and purposes,
16:23
Speaker 4: anything that you're like, yeah, that's obvious, bid, you know,
16:26
Speaker 4: bid for that, bid for that, and they're doing what
16:29
Speaker 4: they can.
16:30
Speaker 2: Chuck talked about this at length about an hour a
16:32
Speaker 2: half forty five minutes ago, about the Dodgers getting Schooble
16:34
Speaker 2: and don't blame the dog, Well, blame the Dodgers, and
16:38
Speaker 2: he made the point of blaming the Dodgers, but also
16:41
Speaker 2: blame major League Baseball for the system that allows the
16:43
Speaker 2: Dodgers to do what they're doing. They they're going to
16:45
Speaker 2: resign Schooble. They're gonna give him some seven zillion dollar
16:48
Speaker 2: contract with six and a half zillion of it deferred
16:51
Speaker 2: to the next forty years. Like they did with Otani
16:55
Speaker 2: and all this, all these deferred contracts that the Dodgers
16:57
Speaker 2: signed to get around the lucture tax, and then he
17:01
Speaker 2: pay luxury tax gladly for all these contracts. But major
17:04
Speaker 2: League Baseball allows all this. Major League Baseball has ratified
17:07
Speaker 2: all these contracts. Major League Baseball has said, yeah, you can,
17:11
Speaker 2: you can do this and that with deferred money and
17:13
Speaker 2: sign on time. Let's make sure Otani gets in Los Angeles.
17:16
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they need him in that market.
17:19
Speaker 2: He could play anywhere and be a superstar.
17:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, but his stuff was already there. He was the
17:25
Speaker 4: agent balls.
17:26
Speaker 2: But I mean, major League Baseball created this, and now
17:29
Speaker 2: they're trying to put Genie back in the bottle with
17:31
Speaker 2: a salary cap. Forget that. The players, Marvin Miller and
17:35
Speaker 2: Kurt Flood from the seventies created sports first unrestricted free agency,
17:41
Speaker 2: and baseball has gotten guaranteed contracts and millions and billions
17:46
Speaker 2: since the players have taken the owners of the cleaners
17:49
Speaker 2: since the seventies. And Marvin Miller, every single baseball player
17:53
Speaker 2: should have a statue of Marvin Miller in their giant
17:55
Speaker 2: living room under their chandeliers, because he's the reason that
17:59
Speaker 2: there's guarantee contracts and that the money is just so
18:03
Speaker 2: out of whack in baseball.
18:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and then they're bringing in a floor with
18:07
Speaker 4: the projected new CBO. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see, But
18:12
Speaker 4: that is something that I thought was pretty interesting. When
18:16
Speaker 4: it comes to what we could expect in twenty twenty seven,
18:19
Speaker 4: you can.
18:20
Speaker 2: Expect a lockout because there's no way the players are
18:22
Speaker 2: going to agree to a salary cap and a floor
18:24
Speaker 2: at the same time after having fifty years of unrestricted
18:27
Speaker 2: free agency.
18:28
Speaker 3: Can'll see, we will see.
18:30
Speaker 2: There will be no baseball next year. There are a
18:32
Speaker 2: lot of people in baseball who are saying that the
18:34
Speaker 2: entire season, just like the World Series in the mid nineties,
18:38
Speaker 2: the entire season's going away next year if they the
18:41
Speaker 2: owners stick to their proposal of a salary cap and
18:44
Speaker 2: a floor. Major baseball players have lived high on the
18:47
Speaker 2: hog for fifty years without any of this and just
18:50
Speaker 2: rampant unfettered free agency with guaranteed contracts, and now they're saying, well, well,
18:54
Speaker 2: wait a minute, we needed to put a cap on
18:56
Speaker 2: all this. It's gonna be ugly.
18:58
Speaker 3: What I would call that re active and not proactive.
19:01
Speaker 4: Greg, Yes, because it reminds me exactly of the mc
19:05
Speaker 4: double a that you know, we have these reactive people
19:09
Speaker 4: who are raking in the dough and then all of
19:12
Speaker 4: a sudden, go ooh, should we do something?
19:17
Speaker 3: It drives me nuts.
19:18
Speaker 2: College sports there's still people, so many people raking in
19:21
Speaker 2: the dough. There's not enough of them saying should we
19:22
Speaker 2: do something. They're waiting on Congress and step in as
19:25
Speaker 2: a white horse, and they're not going to. No, they
19:27
Speaker 2: are not Tommy Teller Bubberville's of the world in Congress
19:30
Speaker 2: aren't gonna want to lose their football votes by stepping
19:33
Speaker 2: in and trying to cap sec pay. For instance, that
19:36
Speaker 2: Castillo trade really surprised me though we were at the
19:40
Speaker 2: at Sharon concert. Start people start talking about it and I'm.
19:43
Speaker 3: Like, what everybody an alert on their phones.
19:47
Speaker 2: White the White Socks are taking all the money. And
19:50
Speaker 2: this is why, Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
19:53
Speaker 2: We're gonna We're gonna talk to start Mac Markman at
19:57
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock the White Sox beat writer of MLB about this.
19:59
Speaker 2: But the Poto getting the White Sox to take all
20:03
Speaker 2: that money is why Dipoto has been in his job
20:06
Speaker 2: for eleven years Yeah, John Stanton and all the Mariners' owners,
20:09
Speaker 2: this is a great deal. Yeah, a commodity they thought
20:13
Speaker 2: they were gonna have to pay thirty plus million to
20:14
Speaker 2: guarantee the next two years and have an option for
20:17
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty eight is now gone and White clean
20:20
Speaker 2: in their hands. They're done. No matter what you got
20:23
Speaker 2: back in return, the fact they got more than a
20:25
Speaker 2: bag of baseballs for him is a win for the Mariners.
20:28
Speaker 2: I know it wasn't on the field to win, perhaps
20:31
Speaker 2: improving the team a lot, but that's exactly why Jerry
20:34
Speaker 2: Depoto's had his job for eleven years. When you do
20:36
Speaker 2: something to the bottom line for the owners like that,
20:38
Speaker 2: h standing. Those guys love this move, of course they do.
20:43
Speaker 2: They cleans their books of Testillo. It gets rid of
20:46
Speaker 2: the six pitcher problem and the piggybacking and the six
20:49
Speaker 2: mare rotation. And now you've got all young starters under
20:52
Speaker 2: club control in the rotation. And yeah, that was a
20:56
Speaker 2: coup for Jerry to Poto for sure. So we go
21:00
Speaker 2: back to Seahawks. We're gonna be here at the Seahawks
21:02
Speaker 2: training camp all week. You're gonna hear from Tory Horton
21:05
Speaker 2: that mysterious shint injury. What was it? I asked him?
21:08
Speaker 2: What happened? You'll hear from Tory Horton next eleven o'clock.
21:11
Speaker 2: We're gonna go to Chicago talk to the White Sox
21:13
Speaker 2: beat writer about what the Mariners are getting in the
21:16
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo trade and why the White Sox took all
21:19
Speaker 2: the money for the veterans starter. All that's coming up
21:21
Speaker 2: here from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center at Seahawks training
21:23
Speaker 2: camp on ninety three point three kJ r FM, Hi,
21:46
Speaker 2: welcome back right now at the Virginia Make Center on
21:50
Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM. Jessman mackintire back to the
21:52
Speaker 2: Elliott based studios in Seattle. We're here every day this week,
21:56
Speaker 2: ten am to noon. The Seahawks practice every day this week.
21:59
Speaker 2: Here this afternoon afternoon practices every day this week after
22:03
Speaker 2: being off yesterday. In case you missed the news from
22:06
Speaker 2: this morning of the Major League Baseball trading deadline, this
22:09
Speaker 2: is deadline Day. Three o'clock is the Major League Baseball
22:11
Speaker 2: deadline to make all trades for the season that don't
22:14
Speaker 2: require waivers, and this morning the Mariners made one. They
22:18
Speaker 2: acquired outfitter Taylor Ward, thirty two years old from the
22:21
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles in exchange for three pitchers, Alex Hoppey and
22:25
Speaker 2: two minor league pitchers. So not a lot of loss
22:27
Speaker 2: there for a rental player who's on a one year
22:30
Speaker 2: contract with Baltimore. We'll see where he fits. He was
22:33
Speaker 2: a left fielder for the Orioles this season led the
22:35
Speaker 2: America League in walks. He's an on base guy this
22:37
Speaker 2: year after being a home run guy for the Angels.
22:39
Speaker 2: He's a right fielder for the Angels for multiple years.
22:42
Speaker 2: I think right fielder for most of his career if
22:44
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. So we'll see where he fence canzone
22:47
Speaker 2: may go from right field to d H and he
22:50
Speaker 2: might have Ward come in. Taylor Ward coming in from
22:53
Speaker 2: Baltimore to the Mariners, perhaps to be the new right
22:56
Speaker 2: field We will see. We'll see if Jerry Depoto and
22:59
Speaker 2: the always make another move for the Mariners before three PM.
23:02
Speaker 2: Out here at Seahawks, Tory Harton's been out here every
23:05
Speaker 2: day the last four practices. He's been doing eleven on
23:08
Speaker 2: eleven team scrimmaging for the first time since a mysterious
23:12
Speaker 2: shit injury that Mike McDonald refused to detail exactly what happened.
23:16
Speaker 2: In early November, he had two touchdowns, as Tory Horton did,
23:20
Speaker 2: the rookie wide receiver last year from Colorado State, had
23:22
Speaker 2: two touchdowns against the Washington Commanders and that Sunday night
23:26
Speaker 2: blowout win for the Seahawks, and then we never saw
23:28
Speaker 2: him again. They traded for Rashid Shahid that next week.
23:32
Speaker 2: The next week is also when they put Tory Harton
23:35
Speaker 2: on injured reserve for the rest of the season. What
23:38
Speaker 2: happened with Tory Horton, Well, here he is to explain
23:40
Speaker 2: that it was.
23:41
Speaker 6: The most meaningful to you about being pack on the team.
23:44
Speaker 7: Stand.
23:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, I fel like just making most of my opportunities.
23:47
Speaker 9: You know, it's a blezzandie back on the field and
23:50
Speaker 9: just trying to take in every moment because you know,
23:54
Speaker 9: just like last year, you never know when you know
23:56
Speaker 9: it because short, So just trying to make the most
23:58
Speaker 9: of every opportunity and just beat it for my guys.
24:01
Speaker 10: A few weeks ago, Mike mc johnson that you guys
24:03
Speaker 10: got really good news and you're gonna get back, uh
24:06
Speaker 10: talk us three.
24:07
Speaker 2: That's like when you got that good news.
24:10
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's just uh, just a whole bit
24:13
Speaker 8: of excitement.
24:14
Speaker 9: You know, of course, you always want to hear that,
24:16
Speaker 9: you know, you've been cleared and you know we're gonna
24:19
Speaker 9: start progressing to the field work and you know that's
24:21
Speaker 9: something that I've just been looking forward to. So have
24:23
Speaker 9: an opportunity to hear that from you know, the head
24:25
Speaker 9: coach himself, you know, that's that's great to me, and
24:28
Speaker 9: you know I'm excited about it.
24:29
Speaker 8: And I'm just trying to keep moving forward.
24:31
Speaker 11: What happened?
24:33
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, So it was kind of weird.
24:35
Speaker 9: You know, Uh about like week three, I kind of
24:38
Speaker 9: started filling my shin and you know, worked through it
24:42
Speaker 9: through a couple of games, got to week nine and
24:44
Speaker 9: you know, got it checked up and found out there
24:46
Speaker 9: was a crack. So you know, I ended up getting
24:48
Speaker 9: surgery on it. And that was that was that just
24:53
Speaker 9: just something that you know, it just got you work
24:56
Speaker 9: through till you can't. So you know, it's just uh,
24:59
Speaker 9: not something that I wish happened, but it did. And
25:02
Speaker 9: you know, we got the issue solved and you know,
25:04
Speaker 9: the leg ain't going to newhere now. So feel pretty good.
25:09
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, yeah, it didn't really like you know, feel
25:14
Speaker 9: as bad as it got until you know, after the game,
25:18
Speaker 9: the Washington game. But you know, of course those couple
25:20
Speaker 9: weeks before, just building up, there were always a little
25:23
Speaker 9: something there that I felt, and you know, over the weeks,
25:25
Speaker 9: it's kind of got worse and worse, and you know,
25:27
Speaker 9: I finally took the time to get it checked out.
25:29
Speaker 8: And that's when we found out that.
25:35
Speaker 2: Touchdowns and then then to find out.
25:38
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, of course that's not the news I
25:40
Speaker 9: wanted to hear, especially after the Commander's game. I just
25:44
Speaker 9: felt like I let the team down a little bit
25:46
Speaker 9: just not being able to go back out there as
25:49
Speaker 9: much as I wanted. It was even times where I
25:51
Speaker 9: still try to go out there and you know, run
25:55
Speaker 9: some routes and the trainers have to tell me, you know,
25:57
Speaker 9: to take it easy. But you know, dealing with a
26:00
Speaker 9: bone thing is you just got to let that hel's
26:03
Speaker 9: there's no like you know, playing through that once to
26:05
Speaker 9: get to a certain point. So you know, I did
26:09
Speaker 9: the most I could and made it to however far
26:12
Speaker 9: I got, and you know, when the time came and
26:15
Speaker 9: I couldn't go no more, I didn't want to put
26:17
Speaker 9: you know, the team at a disadvantage of me going
26:20
Speaker 9: out there knowing that something's bothering me, and you know,
26:23
Speaker 9: I feel like we just kind of made the smart
26:25
Speaker 9: move of you know, just holding out, seeing if it
26:27
Speaker 9: hills on its own. And you know, it's kind of
26:29
Speaker 9: the time kind of got away from usself.
26:31
Speaker 8: So you didn't have to have surgery. I didn't have surgery. Yeah,
26:34
Speaker 8: I got a metal rod in here, so the leg
26:35
Speaker 8: ain't going anywhere.
26:37
Speaker 2: You seven.
26:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was the tib So it was the shambone.
26:41
Speaker 2: Yeah. Was there ever a fun after the watching the
26:43
Speaker 2: game that you were being able to come back and
26:45
Speaker 2: play anymore?
26:45
Speaker 4: Oh?
26:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course.
26:46
Speaker 4: You know.
26:47
Speaker 8: Shoot, I've been playing with it since week three, so.
26:50
Speaker 9: You know, all I thought I was gonna come back,
26:51
Speaker 9: and you know, the initial plan was to come back
26:53
Speaker 9: for playoffs, and you know, we was rehabbing so much
26:56
Speaker 9: and you know, being extremely smart about it and you know,
26:59
Speaker 9: trying to push some things to come back for the playoffs.
27:01
Speaker 9: Of course that in you know, go according to plan.
27:04
Speaker 9: But you know, I'm excited for my guys, and you know,
27:07
Speaker 9: now we're looking forward to another year, just you know,
27:11
Speaker 9: just trying to move forward from the injury. Dream February
27:17
Speaker 9: after the Super Bowl, so I got to enjoy the
27:19
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, Yeah.
27:22
Speaker 7: Player now, because.
27:25
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just feel like it's a lot more mental
27:27
Speaker 9: focus on you know, how I approach things. I feel like,
27:31
Speaker 9: you know, just going out there playing every single snap
27:35
Speaker 9: like it's my last, you know, because just having some
27:37
Speaker 9: cussles short so quick, you know, you kind of look
27:39
Speaker 9: at that and take it for granted of like, you know,
27:41
Speaker 9: I wish I could have done more.
27:42
Speaker 8: I wish I could have did this.
27:43
Speaker 9: And you know, of course, everyone want to make the
27:46
Speaker 9: most out of their opportunities, and you know, I feel
27:48
Speaker 9: like it just takes me to the next level of
27:51
Speaker 9: just how diut in you got to be, you know,
27:54
Speaker 9: on yourself and on your body to you know, make
27:56
Speaker 9: sure you're in the right no condition, in shape, and
27:58
Speaker 9: just trying to make sure you just uh, you know,
28:01
Speaker 9: as stable and you know just as you know, I
28:04
Speaker 9: don't know, just asn't seen as you could be just
28:06
Speaker 9: go out there and compete every day.
28:08
Speaker 10: Well, we didn't got a chance to play with the
28:09
Speaker 10: shoat you eat last year. Now you guys are on
28:11
Speaker 10: the same field. What do you think is possible if
28:13
Speaker 10: you guys out there together.
28:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, that's a lot of speed on the field.
28:17
Speaker 9: Me and him talk every day, uh, you know, both
28:19
Speaker 9: from Cali, so we got a lot to relate on,
28:21
Speaker 9: and you know, we just you know, we just talked about,
28:24
Speaker 9: you know, how how crazy it is to you know,
28:26
Speaker 9: finally you know, get some of those practice reps together
28:29
Speaker 9: and just uh, you know, just see two speeding inside
28:31
Speaker 9: by side, just going at it.
28:33
Speaker 8: So you know, it's fun out there. And you know,
28:35
Speaker 8: of course we still got you know, the the O G.
28:38
Speaker 9: General Coop out there coaching us on everything, and you
28:40
Speaker 9: got the technician and you know, just all around with
28:43
Speaker 9: just saying, you know, just it's a lot of things
28:44
Speaker 9: out there that you know, we're just kind of trying
28:47
Speaker 9: to combine and you know, see our roles and see
28:49
Speaker 9: how you know, how much weapons and power we got
28:52
Speaker 9: on the field. And I feel like it's a lot
28:55
Speaker 9: of things that you know, we got in the bag
28:57
Speaker 9: that we could you know, switch it up from.
28:59
Speaker 8: And I feel like it's a exciting year to have that.
29:02
Speaker 12: You've now gotten five practices out here that you've gotten
29:04
Speaker 12: to participated. I'm sorry, you've gotten five practices now that
29:07
Speaker 12: you've got to participate out here.
29:09
Speaker 2: What's it been like so far adjusting to this new offense.
29:11
Speaker 2: How does it compare to what you.
29:13
Speaker 8: Played with Klink Kubiak last year?
29:15
Speaker 2: Any significant differences that.
29:16
Speaker 9: You've Oh, yeah, yeah, I feel like it's pretty much
29:19
Speaker 9: the same, just a little a little tweets here and there.
29:23
Speaker 8: But you know, I love this scheme.
29:26
Speaker 9: I feel like Brian has a great idea in mind
29:28
Speaker 9: of how he wants to attack this season and this
29:31
Speaker 9: with this offense.
29:31
Speaker 8: And I feel like they got a lot.
29:33
Speaker 9: Of things that they want to try out and it's
29:34
Speaker 9: the perfect time to try those out right now. And know, no,
29:38
Speaker 9: I got I got a lot of faith in praising
29:39
Speaker 9: you know, Brian, I feel like, you know, we got
29:42
Speaker 9: we got a pretty good season the Pedals toy.
29:44
Speaker 8: I think it was six touchdowns today games last year.
29:47
Speaker 2: But before you before you stopped playing, what did you
29:49
Speaker 2: think of the start you were off too?
29:51
Speaker 13: Yeah?
29:53
Speaker 9: No, I just I just wanted to make the most
29:54
Speaker 9: of my opportunities, you know, like I said, Uh, just
29:57
Speaker 9: something that we practiced on every day. And I feel like,
29:59
Speaker 9: you know, ball finds energy and I fly. I just
30:02
Speaker 9: had you know, I guess I just had the right
30:03
Speaker 9: energy out there to find an end zone and you know,
30:07
Speaker 9: just build a little bit of confidence, get a little
30:10
Speaker 9: bit of sounds. Trust, you know, to trust me out
30:12
Speaker 9: there to at least giving me a shot. And you know,
30:15
Speaker 9: of course that would just keep building over the over
30:17
Speaker 9: the time we know half together, and now I just
30:20
Speaker 9: try to make the most out of everything I got.
30:25
Speaker 2: That was Toy Harton from Seahawks training camp this weekend
30:28
Speaker 2: talking about his mysterious not some mysterious anymore shin injury.
30:32
Speaker 2: It was a broken fractured ship and a crack shin tibia,
30:36
Speaker 2: and he's got a metal rod in. He has a
30:38
Speaker 2: metal rod in from a previous The injury that ended
30:41
Speaker 2: his college career at Colorado State required surgeons to put
30:45
Speaker 2: in a metal rod in the upper part of his leg.
30:48
Speaker 2: Now he's got one of the lower part of his leg,
30:50
Speaker 2: which is why he said his legs are right, legs
30:51
Speaker 2: are going on.
30:52
Speaker 4: I know, I kind of really liked that comment, actually
30:55
Speaker 4: when that leg's not going anywhere.
30:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, there were a couple of times, no wonder,
31:00
Speaker 2: he's got two metal rods in it. As fast as
31:02
Speaker 2: he is and as fast as he still looks out here,
31:04
Speaker 2: it's remarkable to know he's got metal rods in the
31:06
Speaker 2: upper and lower parts of his leg That was the
31:10
Speaker 2: takeaway news from Tory Horton in his talk with us
31:13
Speaker 2: the other day. I wrote that story at the News
31:15
Speaker 2: Tribune the News Tribune dot com if you want to
31:17
Speaker 2: see it. By the way, you can subscribe to the
31:19
Speaker 2: News Tribune for ninety nine cents for six months total.
31:22
Speaker 2: Really not per month, total, ninety nine cents for six months.
31:26
Speaker 3: What kind of deal? What kind of sorcery is that?
31:29
Speaker 2: Greg? Exactly? That's my publisher told me. Hey, here's the link,
31:32
Speaker 2: so go. That's amazing to go to the News Tribune
31:35
Speaker 2: dot com if you want to subscribe for it.
31:37
Speaker 3: I think I already have a subscription, to be honest.
31:39
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it. But Tory Horton has been
31:44
Speaker 2: with the number ones in the offense and the number twos.
31:47
Speaker 2: He's catching passes both from Sam Donald and Drew Locke.
31:52
Speaker 2: How does he fit in here? Well, he's they want.
31:56
Speaker 2: The idea was, even when they traded with Shihi, they
31:58
Speaker 2: didn't think Tory Horton was never gonna play again. Obviously
32:02
Speaker 2: he'll be back in next season. So the idea when
32:04
Speaker 2: they gave Horton, excuse me, when they gave Shaheed the
32:07
Speaker 2: fifty one million dollar contract. Is not just the return
32:10
Speaker 2: kicks that he did so splendidly last year in his
32:12
Speaker 2: half season. It's to put him on the field with Horton,
32:15
Speaker 2: two speed guys going down the field to stretch the
32:18
Speaker 2: defense and take top off as they say, and then
32:22
Speaker 2: opens up the entire field underneath for the NFL Offensive
32:26
Speaker 2: Player of the Year Jackson Smith and Jigbo the two
32:28
Speaker 2: time Super Bowl champion Cooper Cup, the emerging star at
32:32
Speaker 2: tight end in aj Barner Jadarian Price out of the backfield,
32:35
Speaker 2: who they've been throwing to a lot in this training camp.
32:39
Speaker 2: That's the idea. That's the scheme idea. When they do
32:41
Speaker 2: put both those guys in the field, they'll go for
32:43
Speaker 2: wide receivers to do it. They might even keep a
32:46
Speaker 2: tight end to do it. They might keep a running
32:49
Speaker 2: back Price on the field to do it. But that's
32:52
Speaker 2: that's the thought.
32:53
Speaker 3: Well, how excited should people beat to watch his offense?
32:56
Speaker 2: Then if that's the thought, that's the thought. It won't
33:00
Speaker 2: happen on every down, but there will be third downs
33:02
Speaker 2: that you'll see Shaheed and Horton on the field at
33:04
Speaker 2: the same time. And the yeah, and if you want
33:07
Speaker 2: to focus on Cup, and Smithson, Jigbu and Barner underneath.
33:10
Speaker 2: Then you got two speed guys flying down the field.
33:12
Speaker 2: And I don't have a stopwatch on Horton, but he
33:15
Speaker 2: looks very fast, and they all do when they're not
33:17
Speaker 2: getting tackled. But he has looked fast. He doesn't have
33:21
Speaker 2: a hitch in his step at all. I thought he
33:23
Speaker 2: was a candidate to begin training camp on the physical
33:25
Speaker 2: enable to Perform list. Nope, he's been practicing since day one.
33:29
Speaker 2: So a really good sign for the Seahawks that Tory
33:31
Speaker 2: Horton is fully back four nine four or five one
33:34
Speaker 2: and to coma Dodge Texan already asked at the top
33:36
Speaker 2: of the show, what else you want the Mariners to do?
33:38
Speaker 2: Are you done? You think they're good now that they've
33:40
Speaker 2: got Taylor Ward and traded Luis Kasteel. But the second
33:42
Speaker 2: question I ask that we'll read back your answers at
33:45
Speaker 2: eleven thirty. What would you like to see the Seahawks
33:48
Speaker 2: do in the past game? They ran fifty percent of
33:51
Speaker 2: the time last year. You want to see him throw more.
33:53
Speaker 2: You got your price, your first round pick. You had
33:55
Speaker 2: an offensive line that runs outside zone. You got a
33:58
Speaker 2: tight end former tight end and running coordinator from the
34:01
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. That's you knew OC Brian Fleury's here
34:04
Speaker 2: because he runs the ball. But what do you want
34:06
Speaker 2: to see in the Seahawks pass game? More of a
34:07
Speaker 2: j barner? Do you want to see even more for
34:10
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigmuth in a seventeen hundred yard old
34:12
Speaker 2: pro season? And how much do you are you excited
34:16
Speaker 2: to see Horton and Shaheed on the field At the
34:19
Speaker 2: same time, Shaheed and Sam Donald much more in sinc
34:22
Speaker 2: obviously now and working together than they were when he
34:26
Speaker 2: as Shheed came in mid stream in November. Donald, by
34:29
Speaker 2: the way, brought Shaheed down to Southern California and they
34:33
Speaker 2: worked out of the college next to San Clemente where
34:36
Speaker 2: Sam Donald grew up, back his hometown during June into July,
34:40
Speaker 2: those six weeks between Mini camp and started training camp
34:43
Speaker 2: to work on extra things, just like DK Metcalf used
34:45
Speaker 2: to do with Russell Wilson. That's what Rashid Shaheed was
34:48
Speaker 2: doing in June and July with Sam Donald out in
34:51
Speaker 2: Southern California. I'p next, you're here from Jadarian Price, the
34:56
Speaker 2: Seahawks rookie running back first round pick, on what his
35:00
Speaker 2: first camp is like is he swimming? Is it all
35:03
Speaker 2: overwhelming for him? He came from a pretty big time
35:05
Speaker 2: program in Notre Dame. Jerarian Price is next on ninety
35:08
Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM. Welcome back, Greatgum from Seahawks Training Camp,
35:48
Speaker 2: Virginia Mason Athletics Center in Renting, where it's a little
35:51
Speaker 2: cloudier and musk. Hear the perhaps smoke from the wildfire.
35:56
Speaker 2: Hearts and everything go out to the people on the
35:59
Speaker 2: east side of watching, especially the Spokane area. Just apocalyptic
36:03
Speaker 2: scenes from Spokane this weekend of the fires that are
36:06
Speaker 2: just englfing houses and much of Spokane County evacuated. All
36:12
Speaker 2: our best to our friends on the eastern side of
36:14
Speaker 2: the Cascades, And unfortunately it's a way of life these
36:17
Speaker 2: days in the summer out here at Seahawks Training Camp.
36:21
Speaker 2: I'll practice this afternoon for the eighth time. Jenari and
36:25
Speaker 2: Price's education continues every day I'm out here. I'm watching
36:29
Speaker 2: Thomas Hammick throw so many passes to him. It's like
36:32
Speaker 2: a pitcher and catcher in a bullpen session. How much
36:34
Speaker 2: Hammock is throwing to Price working on his past protection,
36:39
Speaker 2: working on a gauntlet drill where he does sleds, and
36:42
Speaker 2: he does medicine balls that he's repelling as a pass
36:45
Speaker 2: protector a lot in the past game working on with
36:48
Speaker 2: the rookie running back and first round pick. This is
36:51
Speaker 2: Jenarian Price talking to us about his first few days
36:54
Speaker 2: in the NFL and his first Seahawks training camp.
36:59
Speaker 13: Camps.
37:00
Speaker 3: So, what are your first impressions?
37:04
Speaker 14: First impressions are you know, I'm glad to be back
37:07
Speaker 14: out here and play football with the very special group
37:10
Speaker 14: of guys, special coaching staff, and a special organization.
37:14
Speaker 15: I'm just proud to be blessed to be out here.
37:16
Speaker 6: You put pads on, what you said, allow people focus
37:19
Speaker 6: on and may measure yourself against difference.
37:22
Speaker 14: Once the paths comes on, it allows the you know,
37:25
Speaker 14: the offensive linment to really get their blocks and the
37:27
Speaker 14: double teams to really happen, and that makes my job easier.
37:30
Speaker 14: It makes the whole open up a little bit more,
37:32
Speaker 14: and it makes my runs a little bit more decisive.
37:34
Speaker 10: You've got enough questions about it. You're catching the ball,
37:37
Speaker 10: but you do it a lot in high school. You
37:38
Speaker 10: feel like, let's come back really quickly out here.
37:43
Speaker 14: That's one thing I've worked on since high school. I've
37:45
Speaker 14: continuous to have gotten better at it through throughout college,
37:47
Speaker 14: and then that's one thing that people question going into
37:50
Speaker 14: the pro. So I worked on it and just continue
37:53
Speaker 14: to work on it and understand the space and and
37:56
Speaker 14: catching ability. So past far, like I said, I'm improving,
38:04
Speaker 14: and I've I've shown countless times in practice that I
38:07
Speaker 14: can catch the ball. Still need to show my past
38:10
Speaker 14: protection a little more, but we're going day by day
38:13
Speaker 14: and we're day six in camp.
38:14
Speaker 12: So yeah, he said, you hadn't had a ton of
38:17
Speaker 12: experience running behind pullbacks and doing stuff under center. How's
38:21
Speaker 12: that transition been so far in this offense where you
38:24
Speaker 12: have fullbacks and you are in front of you exclusively,
38:28
Speaker 12: how does it feel to get used to that process?
38:30
Speaker 14: I I love it because you got guys like Robber
38:33
Speaker 14: Boots who just he's so big but agile.
38:36
Speaker 15: He can get downhill and he pops.
38:38
Speaker 14: When you see that happen in front of you, it really,
38:40
Speaker 14: you know, it makes you want to lower your shoulder
38:42
Speaker 14: pads and go pop somebody else.
38:44
Speaker 15: So I really like the way we do things here
38:46
Speaker 15: on offense.
38:47
Speaker 16: When it comes to the past protection, is it more
38:49
Speaker 16: like the mental part of it or the physical part
38:51
Speaker 16: of it.
38:51
Speaker 2: That's kind of a different at this level or you.
38:54
Speaker 15: Well, there are steps to it.
38:55
Speaker 14: First, you got to recognize who you got because NFL defense,
38:58
Speaker 14: especially hours can do a lot of tricky things. Guy's
39:00
Speaker 14: popping in and out. So recognize that you got and
39:03
Speaker 14: and meet him at the line of scrimmage.
39:05
Speaker 15: That's the biggest thing.
39:06
Speaker 6: Outside of the guys, meet who has been the most
39:10
Speaker 6: help and helping navigate, whether it's hopefully the offensive line
39:14
Speaker 6: or being bat.
39:15
Speaker 14: You that's all right, Yeah, George Scelanney has been a
39:17
Speaker 14: huge help ever since I came into the room, and
39:20
Speaker 14: since day one, you know, and OTAs and now being
39:23
Speaker 14: able to watch him and learn and how he holds
39:26
Speaker 14: the standard for the running back room.
39:27
Speaker 15: That's really inspiring.
39:29
Speaker 6: Are there any defensive guys that have given you some
39:32
Speaker 6: advice or kind of taking.
39:33
Speaker 2: You aside to the hood.
39:37
Speaker 14: I wouldn't say any advice, just just guys that let
39:40
Speaker 14: me know that there are defensive players. I'm offensive players
39:42
Speaker 14: and that's how it is.
39:43
Speaker 10: So Worries will be another rookie talent show. Have you
39:48
Speaker 10: been thinking about what your performance might be?
39:51
Speaker 15: Nope, I'm just worried about day seven of FAG camp.
39:54
Speaker 17: So we will be like the first significant thing you
40:05
Speaker 17: spend You're like, you're you're like the first thing you
40:08
Speaker 17: buy it with your first pay check.
40:12
Speaker 15: I've already done it.
40:14
Speaker 14: This past summer when I went home, I just got
40:17
Speaker 14: a new house from my family. That was my biggest
40:19
Speaker 14: goal of mine once I made it to the NFL,
40:21
Speaker 14: and already did that.
40:22
Speaker 15: So check that off the list. And where's that back
40:24
Speaker 15: home in Texas?
40:26
Speaker 2: In your hometown. What was the reaction?
40:31
Speaker 14: A bunch of smiles and and you know, blessings. You know,
40:34
Speaker 14: just everything I wanted to do and put on the
40:36
Speaker 14: board that I was gonna do when I was little.
40:38
Speaker 15: So I'm glad that I finally did it.
40:40
Speaker 8: Going back to this defense and the defensive places, let
40:43
Speaker 8: you know they're there.
40:44
Speaker 2: What can you say about the Seahawks defense and what
40:46
Speaker 2: are you finding out about it?
40:48
Speaker 14: They fly around on every down, You're thirty yards down
40:52
Speaker 14: the field and you got defensive linement like Leonard Williams
40:55
Speaker 14: chasing you down. So that just goes to show the
40:57
Speaker 14: way the guys practice is the reason they were so
40:59
Speaker 14: success for last year, and the fact that they can
41:01
Speaker 14: still do it this year makes me a better player
41:04
Speaker 14: in the whole team.
41:06
Speaker 2: Ramping up.
41:08
Speaker 8: You know, he skirmishes out there today.
41:09
Speaker 13: You guys just got paths on.
41:11
Speaker 2: How do you feel like kind of.
41:13
Speaker 8: Increasing and grand?
41:14
Speaker 14: Yeah, Day two of pass today and practice has gotten
41:17
Speaker 14: a little longer and we're in that second stretch of
41:22
Speaker 14: training camp. So just understand how to take care of
41:24
Speaker 14: your body but also improve on the details while still
41:28
Speaker 14: also being physical on the day to day basis.
41:31
Speaker 15: It's just football, and you know, I'm glad to get
41:33
Speaker 15: better at it.
41:34
Speaker 2: Away from working with Brian Fleury as the OC. What's
41:37
Speaker 2: it been like working with them and getting up to
41:38
Speaker 2: speed with the offense.
41:41
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm really starting to finally understand the offense and.
41:47
Speaker 15: The things that we do. Like I did I would
41:49
Speaker 15: I didn't do too much in college.
41:51
Speaker 14: So now that I'm opening my game up a little bit,
41:53
Speaker 14: I'm really excited for the season.
41:56
Speaker 16: Looking you mentioned George being really really helping you. A
42:01
Speaker 16: lot of people's unat is. You guys just got to
42:02
Speaker 16: competing for the running back job. But obviously you guys
42:05
Speaker 16: kind of just hoping out each other. You adores that
42:08
Speaker 16: instead of like Repetis could.
42:10
Speaker 6: Start a job.
42:11
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think we both view it as more. You know,
42:14
Speaker 15: there's there's competition in every position.
42:16
Speaker 14: Group's competition between everyone and themselves, but we both view
42:20
Speaker 14: it as something, you know, how can we make this
42:22
Speaker 14: offense better, this running back room better, and each other better?
42:25
Speaker 15: And we've continued to do that every day.
42:27
Speaker 10: It looked like you and Jack Sharron, they were talking
42:29
Speaker 10: on the way on the field. Is even though he's
42:31
Speaker 10: not playing, is even helpful for you?
42:33
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, that's another guy who's no even when he
42:37
Speaker 14: was away. Then OTA's like texting me like, hey, I
42:40
Speaker 14: saw this on the film. You could have done this better.
42:42
Speaker 14: Like that's that's a real teammate right there, and him
42:46
Speaker 14: being out but still be on the sideline and giving
42:48
Speaker 14: me tips every time I come back to the sideline,
42:50
Speaker 14: Like that's really helpful and just just someone who loves
42:54
Speaker 14: the game of football. That's really great teammate to have.
43:00
Speaker 2: What about this camp maybe you didn't expect or as
43:02
Speaker 2: new to you campus camp.
43:06
Speaker 15: Honestly, this is everything I expected.
43:10
Speaker 14: Obviously, we're in the league now, so it's everything's a
43:14
Speaker 14: little bit tougher and everyone's smarter and more decisive off
43:17
Speaker 14: the ball.
43:17
Speaker 15: So by the end of the day, it's football.
43:19
Speaker 8: Dan.
43:20
Speaker 2: This offensive line returned off five starters.
43:22
Speaker 12: Obviously you're new to playing with them, but can you
43:24
Speaker 12: sense kind of accuasion that unit have.
43:27
Speaker 14: I can't for sure, especially when you see guys with
43:29
Speaker 14: their secret little handshakes before the balls while we're in
43:33
Speaker 14: the huddles. So hopefully I'll get a little handshake in
43:36
Speaker 14: with them once I get more comfortable with the Dolphins.
43:41
Speaker 2: That's Jadarian Price from Seahawks training camp, the rookie first
43:44
Speaker 2: round pick and running back who again, I'd be very
43:48
Speaker 2: surprised if he's not the lead running back. Week one,
43:51
Speaker 2: September ninth, in the NFL opener against the Newingham Patriots.
43:54
Speaker 2: You heard him talking about what he did this offseason,
43:57
Speaker 2: buying his parents at home to thank them for the
44:00
Speaker 2: support they gave her. Pretty awesome. Indeed, a lifelong dream
44:05
Speaker 2: come true. The former Notre Dame backup running back, still
44:08
Speaker 2: a first round pick and looks like the Seahawks starting
44:11
Speaker 2: running back from week one. Another Seahawk. Former Seahawks Kobe Bryant,
44:16
Speaker 2: of course, is now in Chicago. Adam Hoges one of
44:19
Speaker 2: the beat guys for the Chicago Bears at training camp,
44:23
Speaker 2: with the Bears reporting that Kobe Bryant went down grabbing
44:26
Speaker 2: his left kne this morning during one on one pass
44:29
Speaker 2: coverage rep with tight end Cole Comet, Brian was quote
44:32
Speaker 2: clearly emotional as he got on a cart under his
44:34
Speaker 2: own power. So we'll see what kind of injury that
44:38
Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant has out of Chicago Bears training camp this morning.
44:43
Speaker 2: Up next stand with Chicago. We're gonna go to Chicago.
44:46
Speaker 2: The White Sox beat writer for MLB Scott Murket, He's
44:48
Speaker 2: covered the White Sox for twenty four years. We're gonna
44:52
Speaker 2: ask him why did the White Sox take on all
44:54
Speaker 2: of Luis Caa Steele's money in the trade from the
44:57
Speaker 2: Mariners And who the Mariners are getting in return from Chicago.
45:00
Speaker 2: Scott Murkin, White Sox. Next on ninety three point three KJRFM.
45:30
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Greg Bell, Jessmond McIntyre withers there every weekday
45:34
Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM, ten am to noon. I'm
45:37
Speaker 2: at Seahawks training camp. But this is Major League Baseball's
45:39
Speaker 2: trade deadline.
45:40
Speaker 4: Day.
45:41
Speaker 2: Three PM is the deadline. Mariners made a move to
45:43
Speaker 2: today to add the right handed bat they've been searching for,
45:46
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward from the Baltimore Orioles. Thirty two year old
45:49
Speaker 2: outfitter coming to the seat to the Mariners for Alex
45:54
Speaker 2: Hoppins toppy in two minor league pitchers that were not
45:57
Speaker 2: among their top prospects. That's Taylor Ward coming to the
46:01
Speaker 2: Mariners this morning. Of course, the big news over the weekend,
46:04
Speaker 2: the Mariners traded Luis Castile. We've been talking about it
46:06
Speaker 2: for months. The reason they had the six man rotation
46:09
Speaker 2: to piggyback. The whole thing was to keep Castillo in
46:13
Speaker 2: the rotation to showcase him to possibly trade him. But
46:15
Speaker 2: we didn't think that Jerry Depoto could trade and get
46:20
Speaker 2: all of somebody to take all of Castillo's money, the
46:23
Speaker 2: pro ration of a twenty three million next year, the
46:25
Speaker 2: twenty three million guaranteed next this year. Excuse me, the
46:28
Speaker 2: pro ration twenty three million next year, the team option
46:32
Speaker 2: to cut the contract option Castillle holds for twenty twenty eight.
46:35
Speaker 2: The White Sox took all of it and gave the
46:38
Speaker 2: Mariners back three players in return, including some help for
46:41
Speaker 2: the bullpen. To talk about all of this, Scott Murkin,
46:44
Speaker 2: long time what White Sox beat writer for twenty four
46:46
Speaker 2: years that watched his work from afar back when I
46:48
Speaker 2: covered ball covering the Oaklands for the Sacramento be Scott
46:52
Speaker 2: Murkin joins us from Saint Petersburg, Florida on the Beacon
46:55
Speaker 2: Plumbing Hotline, a MLB beatre dot com beat writer for
46:58
Speaker 2: the Chicago White's Hello, sir, I know you're busy man.
47:01
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me, No problem.
47:04
Speaker 11: How are you doing?
47:05
Speaker 2: We are well, Thank you, sir. Well, let me ask
47:08
Speaker 2: off the top how much this is obviously a go
47:11
Speaker 2: for it move for Chicago. They're in first place and
47:14
Speaker 2: they currently hold the number two seed in the American League.
47:16
Speaker 2: As you know, Scott, how much is this moved to
47:19
Speaker 2: get Castillo? A go for it move uncharacteristic for the
47:21
Speaker 2: White Sox because they sense the American League is weak
47:25
Speaker 2: this year, barely any teams other than two or three
47:27
Speaker 2: over five hundred and maybe even the fact that there
47:30
Speaker 2: might not even be a season next year, so they
47:32
Speaker 2: better go for it now.
47:34
Speaker 13: Yeah.
47:34
Speaker 11: I think the first part maybe more than the second part.
47:37
Speaker 11: But I mean, let's be honest and not to be
47:40
Speaker 11: rude to any of the guys who are busting their
47:42
Speaker 11: butts out there every day, but the AL is not good, right,
47:44
Speaker 11: I mean, the you know, the top wild card team
47:49
Speaker 11: in the National League is fourteen games over and the
47:52
Speaker 11: leader in the aos with Houston getting hot, I think
47:55
Speaker 11: they're what three over, four over and the soccer or
47:57
Speaker 11: seven overs. So you know, you take what's what's in
48:00
Speaker 11: front of you, right, you don't make any excuses for it.
48:02
Speaker 11: But with that said, this team, you know, which is
48:05
Speaker 11: in the middle of a rebuild, which Chris gets in
48:07
Speaker 11: his front office, has done so well so far, is
48:10
Speaker 11: ahead of schedule. You know, they this is a lot
48:12
Speaker 11: on Will Venable and the players. Will Venables. Will Venables
48:16
Speaker 11: set a culture, the players filed and they believe, from
48:19
Speaker 11: really talking to him back at Soccsfest in January, that
48:22
Speaker 11: this was going to be a good season. They started
48:24
Speaker 11: off six and thirteen. They still believe it would be
48:26
Speaker 11: a good season, and it is. You know, they've never
48:28
Speaker 11: lost more than three games in a row this year,
48:31
Speaker 11: so they've earned the right to have this team added to.
48:34
Speaker 11: I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone
48:37
Speaker 11: in that clubhouse is looking over their shoulders trying to see,
48:40
Speaker 11: you know, are we getting to help what's going on?
48:42
Speaker 11: Because they believe in themselves. But I think Chris Guests
48:45
Speaker 11: understands that not just the al Central but possibly the Al.
48:49
Speaker 11: And you know, we're extrapolating quite a bit down the
48:51
Speaker 11: line in October at this point for a team that
48:53
Speaker 11: hasn't been in the playoffs since twenty one. And I
48:55
Speaker 11: don't think any of the guys on this team were
48:57
Speaker 11: on that twenty one team obviously, So you know it's
49:00
Speaker 11: you're going way down the line to think this out.
49:02
Speaker 11: But you got to take advantage, as my wonderful mother
49:06
Speaker 11: would say, you make hay while the sunshine right. And
49:09
Speaker 11: that's what's happening in the al right now, is the
49:11
Speaker 11: Sunday shinings. That you got to go for it, because
49:14
Speaker 11: you know, if the Yankee just whatever happens at Judge,
49:16
Speaker 11: whatever happens is Stanton. I think they expect Bellinger back.
49:19
Speaker 11: You know that they just went into Tampa Bay over
49:21
Speaker 11: the weekend and really dominated the series. I mean the
49:24
Speaker 11: race scored three runs the entire game, now the entire weekend.
49:28
Speaker 11: Now three runs is enough to win the game on
49:30
Speaker 11: Saturday and still get two out of three. But you know,
49:33
Speaker 11: they've shown they can play with any team in the
49:35
Speaker 11: American League, so why not you know, improve and get
49:38
Speaker 11: the team in the best as possible to move forward.
49:41
Speaker 2: Scott Market MLB dot Com beat writer for the White Sox,
49:44
Speaker 2: joining us from Saint Petersburg for on the road with
49:46
Speaker 2: the team after they traded for the least Castill this
49:49
Speaker 2: weekend from the Mariners. Did it surprise you, Scott the
49:52
Speaker 2: terms of this trade and the fact that the White
49:54
Speaker 2: Sox took on all the money not for just the
49:56
Speaker 2: rest of this year, but next year and the option
49:58
Speaker 2: for the year after that.
50:00
Speaker 11: It did in some extent, But they did, you know,
50:02
Speaker 11: obviously move Strantony Domingo as his contract in the process too,
50:07
Speaker 11: so that kind of offsets it a little bit. Even
50:08
Speaker 11: though Castillo is owed what I think the totals around
50:13
Speaker 11: thirty million dollars, so you know, they didn't come, they
50:15
Speaker 11: didn't do all of it, but they got about half
50:17
Speaker 11: off it there, so I mean, they don't have a
50:19
Speaker 11: ton on the books for next year, so I think
50:21
Speaker 11: they really believe in Castillo, and it's interesting. I think
50:24
Speaker 11: the biggest thing about Castillo is I was reading a
50:27
Speaker 11: lot of the stories coming from your great writers out
50:29
Speaker 11: in Seattle there yesterday, and boy, he really made an
50:33
Speaker 11: impact at that clubhouse. It sounds like, along with you know,
50:35
Speaker 11: pitching some great games on the mound, and that's what
50:38
Speaker 11: the Socks team is all about. You know, Chris Gatz
50:40
Speaker 11: is being very mindful of the people he's adding to
50:43
Speaker 11: this team. You know, he's not just looking for some
50:46
Speaker 11: hired hand to come in and you know, play for
50:51
Speaker 11: two or three months and that's it. He wants a
50:53
Speaker 11: guy who's going to fit into what they're doing, and
50:55
Speaker 11: he's cognitive not like disrupting what they've done already. And
50:58
Speaker 11: I think Castillo fits that roper.
51:00
Speaker 2: Hugely, hugely popular guys you probably.
51:03
Speaker 11: Said it, sure seems like it from the quotes from
51:06
Speaker 11: many different pictures and position players, the stories I was
51:09
Speaker 11: reading yesterday.
51:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, Pieter the Rock, they called him out here
51:12
Speaker 2: and he solidified that that reputation for that Game two
51:16
Speaker 2: performance against Toronto in the playoffs and twenty a couple
51:18
Speaker 2: of years ago with the twenty twenty two. Now, that
51:20
Speaker 2: was an amazing performance and he'll always be remembered in
51:22
Speaker 2: Seattle for that. He starts Thursday in Boston. Is that right?
51:25
Speaker 2: He goes right into the rotation that it is correct.
51:28
Speaker 11: It's Davis. I think it is Davis Martin Sean Burke,
51:32
Speaker 11: who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball,
51:35
Speaker 11: over the last six or seven weeks, and then Louis
51:38
Speaker 11: Castillo to finish it up in.
51:41
Speaker 18: Boston.
51:42
Speaker 2: Scott markin the White Sox beatwriter MLB dot Com joining
51:44
Speaker 2: us on the Beacon Plumbing hotline from Saint Petersburg where
51:46
Speaker 2: the White Sox have went off day. He's a veteran
51:48
Speaker 2: beat writer to know to stay in the town you're
51:50
Speaker 2: in before on the trade deadline day and then travel,
51:53
Speaker 2: which is why he's behind the team. It's gone on
51:55
Speaker 2: to Boston. Sir Anthony Demingez, what are the Mariners getting
51:58
Speaker 2: in him?
51:59
Speaker 13: You think?
52:00
Speaker 11: You know they got him and it's interesting. One of
52:02
Speaker 11: the things that I liked about the Sox team this
52:04
Speaker 11: year that maybe hasn't been true in the past is
52:06
Speaker 11: when things haven't worked, they've moved on. They haven't stayed
52:09
Speaker 11: and tried to fit a square peg into a round hole.
52:12
Speaker 11: Ser Anthony ming Is is first of a great guy
52:14
Speaker 11: and handled some of the struggles that he had, you know,
52:17
Speaker 11: up and down tremendously. He leads that he was the
52:20
Speaker 11: closer for a while. He was the guy that Will
52:22
Speaker 11: Venable named in spring training as the closer, and then
52:24
Speaker 11: it didn't It wasn't working, you know, he's walking some guys,
52:28
Speaker 11: he's gonna get some long balls in key situations. So
52:31
Speaker 11: they used him for the past three weeks in a
52:33
Speaker 11: little bit less of a leverage role, and he's been
52:36
Speaker 11: pitching very well for them. I think he's been up
52:37
Speaker 11: what one run in his last eight and two thirds innings,
52:41
Speaker 11: guying a lot of playoff experience. I mean, was invaluable
52:43
Speaker 11: to uh was very valuable, I should say to Toronto
52:46
Speaker 11: in the run to almost winning the World Series last year.
52:49
Speaker 11: I think he pitched some key innings in that last
52:52
Speaker 11: game seven as a matter of fact. So he's he's
52:54
Speaker 11: a guy who's been there, done that and will help,
52:56
Speaker 11: you know, the Seattle bullpen, whether it's ninetheen and eight
53:00
Speaker 11: sending or you know, an inning or two before that.
53:02
Speaker 11: So good veteran guy. And then Boston Smith is a
53:05
Speaker 11: guy they acquired in the Curtis meat trade and someone
53:09
Speaker 11: who they see. They were just talking to the Minor
53:11
Speaker 11: league director Paul Giannish was talking about this on Saturday
53:15
Speaker 11: and in Florida that you know, he's a catcher, but
53:19
Speaker 11: he can play other positions too, and his biggest thing
53:21
Speaker 11: is he can hit. He's a bad guy and he's
53:22
Speaker 11: had a great year at the play across the minor league,
53:25
Speaker 11: so a guy to watch moving forward. And Nolan Jones also,
53:28
Speaker 11: and people know about Nolan Jones. I think if you
53:30
Speaker 11: get Nolan Jones in the right stretch, is the guy
53:32
Speaker 11: who could probably help at the at the major league
53:34
Speaker 11: level as well, so.
53:37
Speaker 2: The minor league. Is a catcher who also is he
53:40
Speaker 2: primarily a catch? I say, Listen is a catcher in
53:42
Speaker 2: an outfielder, but is he basically a catcher?
53:46
Speaker 11: He's a catcher, but I think it's kind of, you know,
53:48
Speaker 11: it's he's kind of learning on the job sort of thing.
53:51
Speaker 11: And he can play other positions too. He's a very
53:53
Speaker 11: athletic kid. And really the biggest thing that you know,
53:56
Speaker 11: we've heard about him this year is how well he's hit.
53:58
Speaker 11: I think he's decond or third in the ORGANI is
54:01
Speaker 11: in the minor league side and home runs for the
54:02
Speaker 11: White Sox this year. So that's his biggest skill set
54:06
Speaker 11: right now is offense.
54:08
Speaker 2: Big picture, do you White Sox with a three games
54:11
Speaker 2: with a four games up the games?
54:14
Speaker 11: I think maybe yeah, three games over.
54:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've opened up a three game lead on the Guardians,
54:19
Speaker 2: in a four game lead on the twins in the
54:20
Speaker 2: America League. So the Tigers are five and that back
54:23
Speaker 2: you mentioned this might be a year early. Do you
54:26
Speaker 2: think the White Sox are done? They got Castillo and
54:28
Speaker 2: you they like the guys they got. Expected any more
54:30
Speaker 2: moves before the trade deadline this afternoon six o'clock your time.
54:34
Speaker 11: Well, they've added Brasamon from the Mets. Who's you know,
54:37
Speaker 11: that's you know, bullpens and defense always helping the postseason, right,
54:42
Speaker 11: you got to have good solid side on both of them.
54:44
Speaker 11: They added Breton Doyle from the Rockies, who is a
54:47
Speaker 11: two time Gold Glove winner who struggled offensively this year.
54:50
Speaker 11: That was some injuries. I still think before six o'clock
54:54
Speaker 11: where I'm at, and I guess what three o'clock where
54:55
Speaker 11: you're at, it's going to be. They're gonna try and
54:58
Speaker 11: get a catcher, you know, Kyle t who was their
55:00
Speaker 11: number one guy, who was injured in the World Baseball
55:03
Speaker 11: Classic while playing for Team Italy and just really hasn't
55:07
Speaker 11: only been a short time healthy the whole year he
55:08
Speaker 11: came with Ohio. He's dealing with a high ankle sprain
55:11
Speaker 11: right now, probably will be out until mid September. They
55:15
Speaker 11: have Edgar Carrow and Drew Romo. Right now, they have
55:18
Speaker 11: Corey Lee and Michael Turner in the minor leagues. But
55:20
Speaker 11: I think it's they're going to look at a catcher too.
55:22
Speaker 11: Some of the catchers are coming off the market. I
55:24
Speaker 11: ce Liam Hicks at Lee Rushman, you know, Stevenson is
55:27
Speaker 11: still out there, possibly Jonah him So I think they'll
55:31
Speaker 11: add there, but I think that may be it that,
55:32
Speaker 11: you know, I mean, that would be four guys they've added,
55:35
Speaker 11: and I can tell you they they probably hoped but
55:37
Speaker 11: didn't think they'd be buyers at this point this year,
55:41
Speaker 11: or not to this extreme level. Yeah. I mean they're
55:44
Speaker 11: three up on the Guardian's four and the wins and
55:46
Speaker 11: the team to watch, even with Scuball gone is the Tigers,
55:49
Speaker 11: because the Tigers were the team that everyone thought was
55:51
Speaker 11: gonna win this I think that's the other big thing
55:53
Speaker 11: for the Socks this year. Not only are they ahead
55:55
Speaker 11: to schedule, but the Tigers and Royals have been bad,
55:58
Speaker 11: and those were the two teams who people thought we're
56:00
Speaker 11: going to dominate dal Central going into the season, which
56:02
Speaker 11: we all know how much that's worth, right, The predictions
56:05
Speaker 11: don't always come to Grewraiz exactly, So, I mean Tigers
56:09
Speaker 11: our team to watch, even you know, Scoopbol's great school
56:11
Speaker 11: is one of the best in the game, if that's
56:12
Speaker 11: the best in the game. But he only goes every
56:15
Speaker 11: five days, right, so they still have some good players
56:18
Speaker 11: on that team. They have seven head to head games
56:19
Speaker 11: of the White Sox, so I would not as rough
56:23
Speaker 11: as they've looked at times this year. I would not
56:26
Speaker 11: completely roll them out, so it could be interesting, But
56:29
Speaker 11: I do think the Socks are the best team in
56:30
Speaker 11: that division, and they're in control and Chris Getz is,
56:33
Speaker 11: as he said yesterday, fueling their push to the postseason.
56:37
Speaker 2: Scott mentioned the Tigers fifty four and fifty eight, a
56:39
Speaker 2: half game and behind the Mariners now in the standings
56:42
Speaker 2: two and a half out of a wildcard, five and
56:44
Speaker 2: a half back of the White Sox. In the American
56:46
Speaker 2: League Center, the White Sox are leading the Guardians by
56:48
Speaker 2: three in the Twins by four in the division. You
56:52
Speaker 2: mentioned Will Venable real quick, Scott, what's he been like
56:54
Speaker 2: as a manager? First time dealing with him and a
56:57
Speaker 2: former player not too far removed from the game.
57:00
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's tremendous. I mean he is, you know, he
57:03
Speaker 11: is the right fits on this organization. As I said
57:07
Speaker 11: a number of times, he is the perfect co pilot
57:10
Speaker 11: with Chris Katz, and he's very even keel guy. He's
57:14
Speaker 11: great for what the White Sax want in this organization overall.
57:18
Speaker 11: But you know he's he expects, you know, strong play
57:22
Speaker 11: out of his team too. He expects doing things right.
57:24
Speaker 11: He expects a intensity and going for it from the
57:27
Speaker 11: first out to the last out. And players have stressed
57:30
Speaker 11: that over and over again. And I think they just,
57:33
Speaker 11: you know, play harder than teams. And it's not even
57:36
Speaker 11: saying that the other teams aren't playing hard. I think
57:38
Speaker 11: it's just the Socks have that extra gear underwill and
57:41
Speaker 11: that's made a big difference. And I think I was
57:43
Speaker 11: going to Miguel Arcus, he's had such a wonderful year,
57:45
Speaker 11: and he said that, you know, he has pointed out
57:47
Speaker 11: how when you play, you know, when you play that
57:51
Speaker 11: kind of baseball through one through twenty seven outs, you're
57:54
Speaker 11: going to gain an advantage at some point. And that's
57:56
Speaker 11: why they haven't lost more than three in a row
57:57
Speaker 11: this year. That's part of the reason why they're a
58:00
Speaker 11: first place team, you know, on August. But it's a
58:02
Speaker 11: third all the days run together.
58:04
Speaker 2: August. Yeah, exactly, spoke him like a true bull rider. Scott,
58:08
Speaker 2: I know you're busy. You got a trade deadline the track.
58:10
Speaker 2: We'll see if you get a catcher here before the
58:12
Speaker 2: White Sox get done at six pm Eastern time. Thank
58:14
Speaker 2: you for joining us. Appreciate it. Have a good season, sure,
58:17
Speaker 2: thanks for having me.
58:18
Speaker 11: I appreciate it.
58:19
Speaker 2: Thank youre welcome. Scott Markin is a longtime beat writer
58:21
Speaker 2: for the White Sox at MLB dot Com, saying that
58:26
Speaker 2: they White Sox are going for it because they think
58:28
Speaker 2: they have the best team in the ale CenTra, which
58:30
Speaker 2: is why they traded for Luis Castillo. Castilla will start
58:32
Speaker 2: on Thursday, make his White Sox debut in Fenway Park
58:36
Speaker 2: against Boston. For Chicago goes right into their rotation, he said.
58:40
Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Diminge is the reliever they got. Has really
58:42
Speaker 2: been pitching well in a setup role after the White
58:45
Speaker 2: Sox took him out of the closer role. Domingas has
58:48
Speaker 2: This is the first season of a two year, twenty
58:50
Speaker 2: million dollar contract the Mariners are inheriting, so they will
58:53
Speaker 2: have him for next year for their bullpen as well.
58:56
Speaker 2: He was a closer when Domingos was to begin the season.
59:00
Speaker 2: A lot of you pink probably remember Sir Anthony Domingos
59:02
Speaker 2: from the Alcs last year for the Whites for the
59:07
Speaker 2: Blue Jays, and he gave it the Grand Slam to
59:09
Speaker 2: a soar as in the one of the Seattle games
59:14
Speaker 2: of the Alcs that broke a two too tie late
59:16
Speaker 2: in the game and got the Mariners to win. There's
59:19
Speaker 2: a lot of Mariner fans are saying, well, he has
59:21
Speaker 2: already helped the Mariners before we even got here. I
59:23
Speaker 2: would think he slides in out of the setup role.
59:25
Speaker 2: He's been rolling in and lately pitching much better for
59:29
Speaker 2: the White Sox. And they keep Andres Munis of course
59:32
Speaker 2: as the closer because of how well he has pitched,
59:34
Speaker 2: especially in the last eighteen or outings or so. Speaking
59:38
Speaker 2: of the Mariners, in the last half hours, so they
59:40
Speaker 2: made official the Taylor Ward trade from the Orioles, the
59:43
Speaker 2: Mariners sending right hander Alex Hoppy and minor league righty's
59:47
Speaker 2: Brockmore and Harrison Criling to the Orioles. None neither of
59:50
Speaker 2: those two minor leaguers were on their top prospects list.
59:55
Speaker 2: Justin Hollander, the Mariners general manager, is quote on Taylor
59:59
Speaker 2: Ward coming from the Oriels to the Mariners quote, We're
1:00:01
Speaker 2: excited to add Taylor to or a lineup. He has
1:00:04
Speaker 2: proven to be a consistent performer that is the very
1:00:06
Speaker 2: best in the league getting on base. We are thrilled
1:00:09
Speaker 2: to be adding a player of his caliber to the team.
1:00:11
Speaker 2: He's the right handed bat. They wanted, an on base
1:00:14
Speaker 2: guy that they wanted. Leads the American League at walks
1:00:17
Speaker 2: as was last year a home run guy. Taylor Ward
1:00:21
Speaker 2: was playing right field for the Angels. Hit thirty six
1:00:24
Speaker 2: home runs last year for the Angels. This year, he
1:00:26
Speaker 2: has only seven home runs and he's becoming on base guy,
1:00:29
Speaker 2: a walks and on base guy for Baltimore this year
1:00:33
Speaker 2: while playing left field. We'll see where he actually fits in.
1:00:36
Speaker 2: But a right handed bat. The Mariners getting Taylor Ward
1:00:39
Speaker 2: from the Baltimore Orioles this morning for three pitchers not
1:00:42
Speaker 2: in their top prospects list.
1:00:44
Speaker 3: I think this is what you were referring to, Greg.
1:00:50
Speaker 13: Yes, I mean hold the fireworks.
1:01:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, have to be played at that point.
1:01:31
Speaker 2: That was Game five in the America League Championship Series
1:01:34
Speaker 2: last October seventeenth, when Sir Anthony Domingas gave up the
1:01:37
Speaker 2: game winning eighth, then in grand Slam to a Johannio Suarez.
1:01:41
Speaker 2: The place was off the hook that was in the
1:01:44
Speaker 2: yard that night, and it was it was so loud.
1:01:46
Speaker 2: Marina is winning that game thanks to Domingo's serving it up.
1:01:49
Speaker 2: Now Domingos will go into a setup role coming from
1:01:53
Speaker 2: the White Sox in the Luis Castillo trade four nine
1:01:56
Speaker 2: four five one. Your thoughts on the Luis Castillo trade?
1:01:58
Speaker 2: Do you think that guy do that Jerry Depotle got
1:02:01
Speaker 2: went over on the White Sox to take all the money. Maybe,
1:02:05
Speaker 2: I mean maybe to me, this is an addition by subtraction.
1:02:09
Speaker 2: They had a six man logjam. It was messing everybody
1:02:12
Speaker 2: up with the piggybacking and the six man rotation in
1:02:14
Speaker 2: the extra rest, and none of the pictures liked it.
1:02:17
Speaker 2: They got rid of, got rid of. They traded Castillo
1:02:21
Speaker 2: and got the White Sox to take all of his money,
1:02:23
Speaker 2: which we thought was gonna make it hard to deal
1:02:25
Speaker 2: Castile on terms the Mariners would like. They did it.
1:02:29
Speaker 2: I think it's a coup for Depoto for what the
1:02:31
Speaker 2: owners want, and John Stanton went to their bottom line.
1:02:35
Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Domingez perhaps doesn't make them all that better.
1:02:39
Speaker 2: But it is a bullpen arm and a bullpen that
1:02:41
Speaker 2: has had three Triple A pictures in it for the
1:02:43
Speaker 2: last month, throwing in high leverage situations, So Diminga's is
1:02:47
Speaker 2: better than that. I think it's a win for the Mariners.
1:02:50
Speaker 2: I think they got more than they could have expected
1:02:53
Speaker 2: at the start of this process. And we said it
1:02:55
Speaker 2: just man, this is why they kept Castillo in the rotation. Yeah,
1:02:59
Speaker 2: if you put in the bullpen, the white starts aren't
1:03:01
Speaker 2: taking all that money. Yeah, we were.
1:03:03
Speaker 3: We were quite obvious about that.
1:03:07
Speaker 4: When I say we, I mean Seattle the Mariners were,
1:03:10
Speaker 4: but it was pretty transparent.
1:03:13
Speaker 2: But it it messed with the rotation for a few months.
1:03:16
Speaker 2: Get this result. I mean the pitchers didn't like it
1:03:19
Speaker 2: and piggybacking and all of that. It was a disruption
1:03:23
Speaker 2: to this season. The Mariners still have time to rebound
1:03:25
Speaker 2: from that. There are three games back in the aos
1:03:28
Speaker 2: from the trash Cans have suddenly caught fire and won
1:03:30
Speaker 2: sixth straight up. Next to come a Dot's text line
1:03:33
Speaker 2: four nine, four or five one. I just asked the
1:03:35
Speaker 2: latest question and seeking your opinions on and talkbacks iHeartRadio
1:03:40
Speaker 2: app or ninety three KJR dot com to the red
1:03:42
Speaker 2: microphone button. The Jusman adores and hopes to play back.
1:03:45
Speaker 3: Really, I really do.
1:03:47
Speaker 2: You're part of the show. Next on ninety three point
1:03:49
Speaker 2: three KJRFF.
1:03:58
Speaker 18: For the Mariners, Rob Refschneider or another right handed hitter,
1:04:04
Speaker 18: maybe at a Rose Arena, but we keep them just for.
1:04:12
Speaker 2: The hitting.
1:04:14
Speaker 19: As far as the Seahawks, a spread out attack for
1:04:19
Speaker 19: white receivers, including the tight end. You're US Coast Guard listener, and.
1:04:26
Speaker 2: They're Greg and Jessman. What's not to like?
1:04:30
Speaker 7: Trading from depth, getting rid of an aging starting pitcher
1:04:35
Speaker 7: and getting back a reliever and maybe a prospect. And
1:04:40
Speaker 7: with Taylor Ward, you pick up an on base guy
1:04:42
Speaker 7: for absolutely nothing.
1:04:45
Speaker 13: So I like it.
1:04:47
Speaker 7: But we're still sub five hundred and we're still playing mediocre.
1:04:52
Speaker 7: So let's see how all this plays out. Wake me
1:04:54
Speaker 7: up in September.
1:04:55
Speaker 2: Guys, if they could trade ref Schneider, that would probably
1:05:01
Speaker 2: be the biggest coup ever by Jerry Depoto.
1:05:04
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah, there's no way he's going.
1:05:06
Speaker 2: To get anything in return for a one to thirty hitter.
1:05:09
Speaker 2: They would have to DFA to designate for assignment ref Snyder,
1:05:13
Speaker 2: and then he'll become a free agent. There's no way
1:05:16
Speaker 2: anyone would claim him off. Wait, no one would sign
1:05:18
Speaker 2: him to that contract with six and a half million
1:05:21
Speaker 2: dollars for one thirty hitter. Yeah, unfortunately, I won't be
1:05:24
Speaker 2: able trade ref Snyder. I don't think. But yeah, the
1:05:26
Speaker 2: point's a good one that they didn't give up a
1:05:28
Speaker 2: ton at all, huh for Taylor Ward for the right
1:05:30
Speaker 2: handed batter, and they didn't. Some people were saying, well,
1:05:33
Speaker 2: this wasn't the last Castillo trade. Didn't help the team? Yeah?
1:05:36
Speaker 2: Did it helped him for next year in a year
1:05:38
Speaker 2: after to not have Castillo's contract, and they do have
1:05:41
Speaker 2: eight veteran bullpen arm which again they've been thrown out
1:05:44
Speaker 2: three triple A but really was in the last month
1:05:47
Speaker 2: in high leverage.
1:05:49
Speaker 3: All right, this coming in from the four two five.
1:05:51
Speaker 3: Good point about the impact of Cassio.
1:05:54
Speaker 4: I thought he would be moved, but over the last
1:05:56
Speaker 4: two successful years you lose Castillo and Suarez, who are
1:06:00
Speaker 4: both reported to be good in the clubhouse.
1:06:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. There is an impact, and in baseball,
1:06:05
Speaker 2: especially with as much time as they spend together on
1:06:07
Speaker 2: the road one hundred and sixty two games, travels, hotels,
1:06:11
Speaker 2: that stuff matters. It does the players really really respected
1:06:16
Speaker 2: and admired Luis kissed you well.
1:06:18
Speaker 3: I think that's why they brought Geno back last year.
1:06:20
Speaker 4: It wasn't for his bat. They wanted him, they wanted
1:06:24
Speaker 4: the person, right, Okay.
1:06:27
Speaker 3: Two five three, Greg.
1:06:28
Speaker 4: If everyone says on paper the Mariners should be running
1:06:31
Speaker 4: away with a vision and they're not, is that not
1:06:33
Speaker 4: the fault of the manager. I understand players need to
1:06:36
Speaker 4: be accountable, but if everyone agrees the talent's there and
1:06:40
Speaker 4: not performing, does that not come down to motivation by
1:06:44
Speaker 4: the manager?
1:06:48
Speaker 2: This is high school. I don't think you need to
1:06:50
Speaker 2: motivate major league players as a manager. That should be
1:06:53
Speaker 2: your job. But those guys should be motivated by attack.
1:06:56
Speaker 2: They're making millions of dollars and on a team that
1:06:58
Speaker 2: was eight outs from the World Series, I think why
1:07:02
Speaker 2: should Dan Wilson be responsible from getting those guys fired
1:07:05
Speaker 2: up to play? Well?
1:07:07
Speaker 3: He did a really good job of it in the clubhouse.
1:07:10
Speaker 4: What I witnessed when I was in there when they
1:07:12
Speaker 4: clinched a playoff spot and the Al West, I could
1:07:16
Speaker 4: see that impact.
1:07:19
Speaker 3: But that was after wins.
1:07:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean when I was in the clubhouse
1:07:24
Speaker 2: during the playoffs last year in the DS and Division
1:07:28
Speaker 2: Series and in Toronto at the American Championship Series when
1:07:31
Speaker 2: I was jumping between Jacksonville and Toronto covering that ALCS
1:07:35
Speaker 2: the players really respect him, Dan Wilson, and the fact
1:07:39
Speaker 2: that he was a former player himself, the cachet of
1:07:41
Speaker 2: him being a legendary Mariners legend anyway catcher, all of
1:07:46
Speaker 2: that has value inside the clubhouse. But to me, a
1:07:51
Speaker 2: major league player should not have a manager needing to
1:07:53
Speaker 2: motivate them. A major league manager needs to push the
1:07:55
Speaker 2: right buttons and make the right decisions and see it,
1:07:58
Speaker 2: trust his gun, and to write bullpen choices. And Wilson
1:08:02
Speaker 2: has failed in many of those regards for sure. But
1:08:05
Speaker 2: Wilson is always also, i should say, as we've mentioned,
1:08:08
Speaker 2: been handcuffed by some of the limited options he's had
1:08:12
Speaker 2: a bullpen. We've talked about this. The six man rotation
1:08:16
Speaker 2: has left him one reliever short in the bullpen. By
1:08:19
Speaker 2: major league, Lee can only have thirteen pitchers. Six of
1:08:21
Speaker 2: them are starters. They have one fewer start have had
1:08:24
Speaker 2: until the Castillo trade, one fewer reliever than any other team,
1:08:28
Speaker 2: and three of those seven relievers were Triple A guys.
1:08:33
Speaker 2: To be a rucker, and well it was in Cooper Criswell,
1:08:37
Speaker 2: who's now injured is at the beginning of the season
1:08:40
Speaker 2: wasn't supposed to be a leverage guy either. That's the
1:08:42
Speaker 2: roster they constructed. Dan Dan Wilson didn't bring Rob Repschneider
1:08:47
Speaker 2: to Seattle, No he didn't. This is when he looks
1:08:51
Speaker 2: and needs an option off the bench late in the game,
1:08:54
Speaker 2: he looks down the bench and he's a one thirty
1:08:55
Speaker 2: reps Snider at the play on the bench. That's not him,
1:08:58
Speaker 2: that's not Dan Wilson. Wilson could just keep them there
1:09:02
Speaker 2: and not bring them in, but then he would be
1:09:04
Speaker 2: going against the handedness and the analytics and the iPads
1:09:07
Speaker 2: as well. And that's not why he's here either. That's
1:09:10
Speaker 2: why he's the manager because he suggested that.
1:09:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also why agers here.
1:09:14
Speaker 2: You know.
1:09:15
Speaker 4: It's the same kind of thing, and it worked really
1:09:18
Speaker 4: well last year. It did work really well. But I
1:09:21
Speaker 4: do stand the frustration coming from fans totally.
1:09:24
Speaker 2: And we've talked about this, the fifty years of them
1:09:27
Speaker 2: never being in the World Series, meaning that fans and
1:09:29
Speaker 2: parent their fans get the gripe forever. They have a
1:09:32
Speaker 2: license to be upset. They have a license to be frustrated.
1:09:36
Speaker 2: They have a license to ask for accountability and demand better.
1:09:39
Speaker 2: They have all of that. They have more than earned
1:09:43
Speaker 2: their right to be upset at this season for sure. Now,
1:09:46
Speaker 2: last year it worked because their catcher hit sixty plus
1:09:48
Speaker 2: home runs.
1:09:50
Speaker 3: Well that was kind of nice. That was a little neat,
1:09:53
Speaker 3: wasn't it.
1:09:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, that worked a little better than it was. He
1:09:56
Speaker 2: had and catcher this year.
1:09:58
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I am so sorry, but we are we
1:10:02
Speaker 4: have been remiss to mention our word of the hour,
1:10:04
Speaker 4: So we're just gonna sneak in here with that one,
1:10:07
Speaker 4: brought to you by Bellevue rare Coins. We've got bonus
1:10:10
Speaker 4: bucks for you, chance at one thousand dollars. Go to
1:10:13
Speaker 4: nine three three kjr dot com and our keyword for
1:10:16
Speaker 4: this hour is new three letters. Uh not, I knew
1:10:22
Speaker 4: that we were going to do a word. It's a
1:10:25
Speaker 4: new thousand dollars that you could have in your pocket.
1:10:27
Speaker 4: Go to nine three three KJR dot com and you'll
1:10:30
Speaker 4: be automatically prompted to enter that word.
1:10:33
Speaker 3: And that's your chance at one thousand bucks.
1:10:36
Speaker 2: Thank you, justin you not it.
1:10:39
Speaker 4: Switching over to Seahawks nine seven oh says, excited to
1:10:43
Speaker 4: see Horden and Arroyo back. Who are they going to
1:10:45
Speaker 4: focus on with Rashid, JSN, Barner and Price. I feel
1:10:48
Speaker 4: like we're more balanced this year. Let the league keep
1:10:50
Speaker 4: talking about the Lambs and the forty whiners.
1:10:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the All Pro NFL offensive player of
1:10:59
Speaker 2: the year that's make one hundred and sixty eight million
1:11:01
Speaker 2: dollars is the one that you focus He's your number one, obviously,
1:11:05
Speaker 2: but the Seahawks hope is that the defense is focus
1:11:07
Speaker 2: on him too because of now what he's accomplished the
1:11:10
Speaker 2: last year and seventeen hundred plus yards and that that
1:11:13
Speaker 2: opens up Cup and that opens up Warner, and that
1:11:15
Speaker 2: opens up the speed guys Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton
1:11:18
Speaker 2: down the field. But yes, Jackson's unlike last year. I mean,
1:11:22
Speaker 2: the leagueknew about Jacksonsmith with Jigua, but this year, his
1:11:25
Speaker 2: reputation will absolutely precede him in defensive game plans, rolling
1:11:29
Speaker 2: safeties over to him and all of that.
1:11:31
Speaker 3: That's also how decoys happened.
1:11:33
Speaker 4: And you look at like we talked about earlier, how
1:11:36
Speaker 4: they can stretch the field out because of all the
1:11:38
Speaker 4: weapons that they've acquired exactly.
1:11:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, another talkback came in, Grag.
1:11:44
Speaker 20: You can't have it both ways with Dan Woolson. If
1:11:46
Speaker 20: he's not responsible for losing, I mean, what is he
1:11:50
Speaker 20: responsible for. He's responsible for the entire operation, and the
1:11:54
Speaker 20: entire operations three games under and are failing.
1:11:57
Speaker 13: This is a broken team.
1:12:00
Speaker 3: Frustration coming in.
1:12:01
Speaker 2: Totally warranted. Yeah, but he's not. He is not responsible
1:12:06
Speaker 2: for the entire operation, or if he was, he wouldn't
1:12:08
Speaker 2: be the manager. He's responsible for carrying out what the
1:12:11
Speaker 2: front office demands he do and the players that he has.
1:12:14
Speaker 2: That that is why he's the manager. I'm convinced of that.
1:12:18
Speaker 2: I am convinced that the reason they've hired two first
1:12:21
Speaker 2: time managers in a row Scott Service for nine years
1:12:24
Speaker 2: and Dan Wilson to replace Scott Service in the middle
1:12:26
Speaker 2: of the season from never having managed anywhere at any level,
1:12:30
Speaker 2: is because they agreed to go with the program. They said, Okay,
1:12:33
Speaker 2: we know what your analytics driven, your handedness, your bullpen rules,
1:12:39
Speaker 2: and guys not being able to pitch on consecutive days
1:12:41
Speaker 2: at the time. The guy's not going to be able
1:12:42
Speaker 2: to start new innings and come in in the middle
1:12:44
Speaker 2: of all of that, all of that that a manager
1:12:48
Speaker 2: signed up for. That's why he did. He never he
1:12:50
Speaker 2: didn't have any leverage to say, ah, I'm not going
1:12:52
Speaker 2: to do that. He never managed before.
1:12:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know, first time manager, I mean technically
1:12:58
Speaker 4: second time now.
1:13:00
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm not trying to say that Dan Wilson
1:13:02
Speaker 2: is blameless. If your team is as talented a eight
1:13:05
Speaker 2: outs away from the World Series last year is suddenly
1:13:06
Speaker 2: four games under five hundred, the manager's not doing the
1:13:09
Speaker 2: job his best of his abilities and expectations, of course,
1:13:14
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying, unlike a lot of teams, more
1:13:17
Speaker 2: so in Seattle, the manager does with the front office
1:13:20
Speaker 2: dictates he do, and he also has left with what
1:13:23
Speaker 2: the front office designed as a team. And if you've
1:13:26
Speaker 2: got Rob Refschneider and Michael Rucker in as your leverage
1:13:30
Speaker 2: guys and hitting and pitching at the end of games,
1:13:32
Speaker 2: that is not Dan Wilson's fault. That that's his options
1:13:35
Speaker 2: to go to. That's my point. I agree, he has
1:13:37
Speaker 2: to play who's been put on the roster.
1:13:40
Speaker 4: And as we mentioned earlier, before we get out of here,
1:13:43
Speaker 4: we're going to hear from the East Side.
1:13:44
Speaker 20: Hey, guys, love the show. Like always, I'm over here
1:13:48

1:14:04
Speaker 20: I'm on the South Hill, so I'm just kind of
1:14:06
Speaker 20: looking off at the distance, but it felt like Vietnam
1:14:10
Speaker 20: on Saturday night. It was pretty damn crazy.
1:14:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, our thoughts go out to everyone out there.
1:14:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, the images of Spokane County and Cholanne area for
1:14:20
Speaker 2: that matter too, had just been horrific. And that's a dangerous,
1:14:23
Speaker 2: dangerous job. Those guys and gals are out there doing
1:14:26
Speaker 2: fighting wildfires in the eastern Washington. Are hoops to that,
1:14:29

1:15:28
Speaker 2: expecting today on your show or at the practice or
1:15:32
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do? Well practice? Who knows? Obviously
1:15:35
Speaker 2: MLB trade deadline is the big thing waiting to see.
1:15:38
Speaker 2: Do you think the marriage are done? I don't think so.
1:15:41
Speaker 2: I hope not. I mean, what's left for you? Trying
1:15:45
Speaker 2: to get better? But they got it bad.
1:15:48
Speaker 1: They got a guy that gets on base yep, right
1:15:50
Speaker 1: handed bed. They got a guy that gets on base
1:15:53
Speaker 1: as absolutely like has gone from pretty good pop to
1:15:56
Speaker 1: zero pop, which is.
1:15:57
Speaker 2: Weird thirty six summer to seven thirty last year at
1:16:00
Speaker 2: the Angels. I mean just weird like Brady Anderson type
1:16:04
Speaker 2: of numbers.
1:16:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, or Cal Rawley, except for he gets
1:16:07
Speaker 1: on base, which Cal doesn't, so yeah, so I mean
1:16:10
Speaker 1: they're a little bit better with him. The castile thing
1:16:13
Speaker 1: was nothing more than a salary dump. So I mean,
1:16:15
Speaker 1: can you believe they got white sox that take all
1:16:17
Speaker 1: the money.
1:16:17
Speaker 2: I just don't care, honest honestly, I'm not trying to
1:16:21
Speaker 2: be flippant. I don't care. That's why he did it.
1:16:24
Speaker 2: I don't. But but let me there, if you're a
1:16:27
Speaker 2: fan and you're celebrating it, I tell me why.
1:16:30
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't help you. It does explain why Topoto
1:16:33
Speaker 1: has been in his job for eleven okay, but that
1:16:35
Speaker 1: doesn't help me. That doesn't That does not help me
1:16:37
Speaker 1: as a fan. Doesn't win you baseball games by saving money,
1:16:42
Speaker 1: like like that was the whole thing. That's making a
1:16:44
Speaker 1: great deal by the mirror, like what, well, they get
1:16:47
Speaker 1: dumped the salary.
1:16:48
Speaker 2: He also gets rid of the six man pitching staff
1:16:50
Speaker 2: that was reckoned and the other.
1:16:52
Speaker 1: Five castilla and the bullpen would have been better. Don't
1:16:55
Speaker 1: you think he would have been better than getting to
1:16:56
Speaker 1: three slappies they got. But they never took him out
1:16:58
Speaker 1: of it, so they know and they could they couldn't
1:17:01
Speaker 1: because of his standing, I guess in the in the clubhouse.
1:17:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, that one, that one, to me was just nothing.
1:17:08
Speaker 1: I will not celebrate that. I just will not give
1:17:10
Speaker 1: them credit for that. They they've traded, they got rid
1:17:12
Speaker 1: of salary. Beers not cheaper. Tickets aren't cheaper. Hot dogs
1:17:15
Speaker 1: aren't cheaper. If you're a fan, it doesn't affect you
1:17:18
Speaker 1: at all. Uh, now Ward helps them, obviously, that the
1:17:20
Speaker 1: other move helps him. That that you're you're a better
1:17:23
Speaker 1: baseball team because he's Taylor. Ward's better than Robless, He's
1:17:26
Speaker 1: better than ref Snyder, right for sure. So that helps you.
1:17:31
Speaker 2: So I like that.
1:17:31
Speaker 1: So like when you ask me what I want them
1:17:33
Speaker 1: to make moves, I mean, if you're a mator fan,
1:17:35
Speaker 1: you should be hoping they make moves. The Red Sox
1:17:37
Speaker 1: have gotten a lot better today, Uh you know, I
1:17:40
Speaker 1: mean you look around the league. I mean Tampa got
1:17:42
Speaker 1: better obviously, the Dodgers being the Dodgers doing their thing,
1:17:46
Speaker 1: which doesn't really affect you unless you.
1:17:47
Speaker 2: Get to the World Series. And at that point, who cares.
1:17:49
Speaker 2: Let's get to the World Series.
1:17:51
Speaker 1: Like again, if you're a matter of fan, you're you're
1:17:53
Speaker 1: having consternation over that, Like, Okay, well, you know what,
1:17:55
Speaker 1: here's the worst worst case scenario. They beat you in
1:17:58
Speaker 1: the World Series. Then you get to the World's for
1:18:00
Speaker 1: the first time in fifty years. I'm okay, problem, I
1:18:02
Speaker 1: have a great problem to have. If we're breaking down
1:18:05
Speaker 1: how they lost the World Series, I'm I'll take that
1:18:07
Speaker 1: right now.
1:18:08
Speaker 2: I'm all in. We had a White Sox beat writer
1:18:11
Speaker 2: on from MLB dot Com and Scott Markin was telling
1:18:14
Speaker 2: us that the White Sox see this as a go
1:18:16
Speaker 2: to time, go for a time because the American League
1:18:18
Speaker 2: is so far down, which is where the Mariners. I
1:18:21
Speaker 2: mean they're not that far out of no.
1:18:23
Speaker 1: No, I mean two out of a wildcard, three out
1:18:25
Speaker 1: of the division. So yeah, like I hope they try
1:18:28
Speaker 1: to get better. I mean, and I'm sure the White
1:18:30
Speaker 1: Sox I'm assuming he would have told you the White
1:18:32
Speaker 1: Sox feel like Castile helps her rotation.
1:18:34
Speaker 2: Yes he does. Yeah, they're going He's going right into
1:18:35
Speaker 2: it on Thursday first start.
1:18:37
Speaker 1: I mean, he's your guy, that's been he's been your
1:18:38
Speaker 1: playoff anchor for the two times. That's true, right, So yeah,
1:18:43
Speaker 1: if I'm the White Sox, I feel good about it.
1:18:44
Speaker 1: But you know, a prospect catcher and asso bullpen arm
1:18:49
Speaker 1: and a prospect outfielder who hasn't been in the bigs
1:18:52
Speaker 1: this year, I don't know let's see whatever. But yeah,
1:18:54
Speaker 1: war makes them better, which I do like that. I
1:18:56
Speaker 1: think you get to like that a lot if you're
1:18:57
Speaker 1: a Marathan you doing today, all I wop it at
1:19:00
Speaker 1: one and then we'll just kind of keep Chris on
1:19:02
Speaker 1: standby until three when we go off the air, in
1:19:05
Speaker 1: case anything else happens. And you know, he knows the prospects,
1:19:08
Speaker 1: he knows the guys that are getting moved, and and
1:19:10
Speaker 1: so that kind of helps us a little bit navigate
1:19:12
Speaker 1: the landscape.
1:19:14
Speaker 2: And so we'll see that and I'll also kind of
1:19:16
Speaker 2: see what's going on out here today.
1:19:17
Speaker 1: It's nice, quiet day, no no fans, huh quiet, very
1:19:21
Speaker 1: different deal, Yeah, very different.
1:19:23
Speaker 2: Isn't it different? It's crazy, it's yeah, it's so different.
1:19:28
Speaker 1: You go from you go from like just like a
1:19:31
Speaker 1: circus like atmosphere of carnival sort of so to speak.
1:19:34
Speaker 1: It's so much energy and then it's just business today,
1:19:37
Speaker 1: like just straight up business.
1:19:39
Speaker 2: I don't think the players like it. No fans are here,
1:19:41
Speaker 2: because then it feels like a grind.
1:19:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like you're in October, November, December, right, Yeah,
1:19:46
Speaker 1: except for the weather's a lot better. That's the weather's
1:19:50
Speaker 1: significantly better. So yeah, I every guy I've always talked
1:19:54
Speaker 1: to since they like the energy to fans bring, and
1:19:56
Speaker 1: you know, frankly, I think.
1:19:57
Speaker 18: We do too.
1:19:58
Speaker 1: From a radio standpoint, it's kind of fun to you
1:20:00
Speaker 1: kind of feel like you come up a little bit.
1:20:01
Speaker 1: Sure had a game at big events, So yeah, back,
1:20:04
Speaker 1: I think fans back tomorrow.
