Speaker 2: on this very lovely morning here in the Pacific Northwest.
1:07
Speaker 2: So we've got Ashley Ryan here. My name is Chuck Powell.
1:10
Speaker 2: No Bucky Jacobson today. Probably won't see him here this week,
1:14
Speaker 2: but we continue, We roll on, and we move toward
1:17
Speaker 2: the Draftmas holiday which starts tomorrow. But a lot of
1:22
Speaker 2: other things to discuss today before we get to holiday time.
1:26
Speaker 2: And everybody loads up on fudge and alcohol. Yeah, I
1:30
Speaker 2: know it's it just goes hand in hand. But a
1:34
Speaker 2: lot of things to cover during the course of our
1:36
Speaker 2: four hours together today, and we look forward to you
1:39
Speaker 2: being along for the ride. Mariners do win last night
1:43
Speaker 2: over the New York Yankees two to one and exciting
1:47
Speaker 2: walk off fashion, a tremendous pitching performance by Luis Castillo,
1:53
Speaker 2: which we'll get into more in Mariners Morning After at
1:55
Speaker 2: six point thirty. But really the story of the game
2:00
Speaker 2: was we're off to a three and two start and
2:04
Speaker 2: our three best players can't hit, and so our MVP
2:10
Speaker 2: runner up from a year ago, the real MVP cal Raley,
2:14
Speaker 2: though may may have come out of it last night.
2:17
Speaker 2: He gets the walk off RBI base hit down the
2:21
Speaker 2: right field line to score the game winner by a
2:24
Speaker 2: final score of two to one, and so Ashley, great
2:28
Speaker 2: to see, you know that we just, I mean, we
2:32
Speaker 2: just got three guys in the middle of our order
2:34
Speaker 2: that just are not hitting the ball. And even Cal
2:36
Speaker 2: who was set on the bench last night for a
2:39
Speaker 2: little refresher, a little bit of a day off to
2:41
Speaker 2: try to get, you know, just to get him to relax.
2:45
Speaker 2: I'm assuming because it's kind of strange. Game number five,
2:49
Speaker 2: cal already needs a complete day's rest. I think it
2:52
Speaker 2: was just kind of to reset his mindset more than
2:55
Speaker 2: anything else. Then they bring him off the bench in
2:57
Speaker 2: an RBI situation, you know, runner at third, less than
3:01
Speaker 2: two outs, strikes out.
3:02
Speaker 4: Looks horrible.
3:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, when they brought him in there, I was like, Oh,
3:05
Speaker 1: we should have kept him on the bench, just because
3:07
Speaker 1: I don't want him to have.
3:07
Speaker 2: To looked horrible and striking out and failing in that moment.
3:12
Speaker 2: But as baseball does it, sometimes he gets a second
3:16
Speaker 2: opportunity in the bottom of the ninth. This time he
3:18
Speaker 2: comes through, even though he didn't hit the ball the
3:20
Speaker 2: way he wanted to. He said in the postgame show,
3:22
Speaker 2: I'm trying to hit a sack fly there, and instead
3:26
Speaker 2: he tops it and he lines it down the right
3:27
Speaker 2: field first baseline and game over at that point, two
3:32
Speaker 2: to one. Gum bucket on his head. Luke Rayley, who's
3:36
Speaker 2: way too large to be jumping into anybody's arms.
3:39
Speaker 4: But boy did he do a great job of it.
3:42
Speaker 2: Oh my, what no world has happened in there. It
3:45
Speaker 2: looked like a you know, a bear trying to you know,
3:48
Speaker 2: mug a road sign. Yeah, and so they get the
3:53
Speaker 2: game winner elation and then the glad handing there on
3:57
Speaker 2: the baseball field. Hopefully it is a sign that Col's
4:01
Speaker 2: broken out of his very early season, small sample size slump.
4:06
Speaker 2: But nonetheless, it is kind of strange to be five
4:10
Speaker 2: games six five games into the year and see your
4:13
Speaker 2: three best hitters ranking among those off to the slowest start,
4:18
Speaker 2: and yet you're still above five hundred at this point.
4:20
Speaker 2: So it's great to see Cal come through last night.
4:22
Speaker 2: I hope it ignites something.
4:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.
4:24
Speaker 4: I hope so too.
4:24
Speaker 1: And I mean, if anything, it had to just feel
4:26
Speaker 1: good to him to be like, oh, all right, got
4:29
Speaker 1: something done in a moment where we really needed it,
4:31
Speaker 1: and he did it. I mean, Julio got something done
4:33
Speaker 1: in a moment where they really needed it on Saturday.
4:36
Speaker 4: So you're seeing at least these moments.
4:38
Speaker 1: And I thought Julio was out of it with that
4:40
Speaker 1: first hit he had yesterday that was like one hundred
4:42
Speaker 1: and ten miles per hour but caught by Grisham in centerfield.
4:46
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, come on, just on baseball. You
4:50
Speaker 4: just got rubbed.
4:52
Speaker 1: So, I mean you're seeing these little moments, and I
4:54
Speaker 1: hope for Cal, for that moment that gets the ball roller.
4:59
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a hundred and sixty two games, and
5:02
Speaker 2: I mean having any sort of dramatic reaction to anyone's start,
5:06
Speaker 2: be it good or bad, is like freaking out in
5:10
Speaker 2: the third quarter of the first Seahawks game of the year.
5:14
Speaker 4: You know, I've done that before, though I.
5:16
Speaker 2: Knew that Sam Darnold was a fluke a year ago.
5:21
Speaker 2: Here we said in the third quarter and he's down
5:23
Speaker 2: a one touchdown in one interception. My gosh, what an
5:27
Speaker 2: outlier season he had last year. We have a quarterback
5:30
Speaker 2: issue or the opposite. Oh, George Hallan, He's got ninety
5:35
Speaker 2: eight yards in the third quarter. He's better than Ken Walker.
5:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't need another running back.
5:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a smart decision to invest in George Hallane. So,
5:45
Speaker 2: I mean, it just it's silly. It's silly season to
5:48
Speaker 2: react to anything at all. But certainly when you start
5:53
Speaker 2: a season and you've kind of sacrificed your best players
5:57
Speaker 2: to the good of the game, the WBC, and then
6:01
Speaker 2: they come back to your park and they have to
6:04
Speaker 2: first spend time mending fences apparently, and then they start
6:08
Speaker 2: the brand new season and all of those guys that
6:11
Speaker 2: played in that WBC, with the possible exception of Canzone,
6:16
Speaker 2: are the ones that are struggling the most. And so
6:20
Speaker 2: for Cal to have had a TERRIBLEWBC experience and then
6:25
Speaker 2: come back to the team and be striking out nearly
6:28
Speaker 2: every at bat to start the season, I mean, everybody
6:32
Speaker 2: needs that a little boost. It was going to come
6:34
Speaker 2: at some point. We weren't even we weren't even in
6:37
Speaker 2: the neighborhood, we weren't even in the same zip code
6:40
Speaker 2: of panicking about any of this stuff. And yet you're like,
6:44
Speaker 2: man Naylor is still oh for nineteen, Julio is one
6:49
Speaker 2: for nineteen, and Cal's needs a day off already. I mean,
6:53
Speaker 2: this is nothing to worry about, nothing to be concerned about,
6:57
Speaker 2: but it is awfully freaking strange, There's no question about it.
7:01
Speaker 2: And it's the sport of baseball, and sometimes you just
7:04
Speaker 2: need that. I'm trying to hit a fly ball. I
7:06
Speaker 2: didn't even hit it the right way, but it ended
7:08
Speaker 2: up being the game winner down the right field line,
7:11
Speaker 2: and it as I was goofy way. This sport of
7:14
Speaker 2: course correcting things and putting them right back on track,
7:18
Speaker 2: and so that's kind of what I was thinking. I mean,
7:21
Speaker 2: not only did you get the win, but it was
7:22
Speaker 2: nice to see cal at the center of the celebration.
7:25
Speaker 2: You know, he's going to start tonight and that you know,
7:29
Speaker 2: a little part of you, because you've watched enough of
7:31
Speaker 2: goofy ass baseball in your life, thinks that's what he
7:34
Speaker 2: needed to get going.
7:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it just goes to show you all you
7:37
Speaker 1: have to do put the ball in play and something
7:38
Speaker 1: could happen.
7:39
Speaker 4: And that's what he did.
7:40
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he didn't hit the ball the exact
7:42
Speaker 1: way he wanted to do, but took a hack at.
7:44
Speaker 4: It and won the game. Yeah, and it was fun
7:48
Speaker 4: and he looked, I mean the pick the smile on
7:51
Speaker 4: his face too, was like, oh I just did that. Okay,
7:55
Speaker 4: that's good.
7:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we just won and maybe I don't know,
7:59
Speaker 1: you could just it just he looked kind of like
8:01
Speaker 1: a little kid, especially with a bucket of gum on
8:03
Speaker 1: his head.
8:04
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he does tend to look like a little kid.
8:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was just cute seeing them all.
8:09
Speaker 1: I think they were all even more happy because you know, yeah,
8:12
Speaker 1: it's the fifth game of the year.
8:14
Speaker 4: Are you Is it that exciting?
8:15
Speaker 1: You know, is it that big of a deal to
8:17
Speaker 1: walk off a win over the Yankees in the fifth
8:19
Speaker 1: game of the year.
8:20
Speaker 5: I mean.
8:22
Speaker 4: Maybe, but I think it was because it was cal
8:24
Speaker 4: too that they were so excited.
8:26
Speaker 2: Well, Bucky's not going to put it in a big
8:28
Speaker 2: win category at this point. But I said yesterday on
8:31
Speaker 2: the show, you know, I've heard in the past, I've
8:35
Speaker 2: heard professional broadcasters say that we're not in the same
8:38
Speaker 2: ballpark as the New York Yankees, which was nonsense, right,
8:42
Speaker 2: and it for some reason, it's your insecurities showing, because
8:46
Speaker 2: we absolutely have been on the same level as the
8:49
Speaker 2: New York Yankees, and we have often just whipped their
8:52
Speaker 2: ass right down the street here at T Mobile because
8:55
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone hates facing our pitching staff, both the starting
8:58
Speaker 2: rotation and the bullpen. But this year, most people maybe
9:03
Speaker 2: not Vegas because they take bets and their lines are
9:07
Speaker 2: based on how much betting interest there is on the
9:10
Speaker 2: line from the given community. It's not about who's actually better.
9:14
Speaker 2: They're trying to keep the money even on both sides
9:17
Speaker 2: because that's how they make their money. So you don't
9:20
Speaker 2: look at Vegas. Almost all the experts say the Mariners
9:23
Speaker 2: are better than the New York Yankees on paper. Heading
9:25
Speaker 2: into this season, So I said a couple times yesterday,
9:28
Speaker 2: even said it to Ryan Healy. This to me felt
9:30
Speaker 2: more like, no, Yankees, you need to come here and
9:33
Speaker 2: measure yourself against us. You're off to an undefeated start
9:36
Speaker 2: thus far through the first weekend of the season, but
9:39
Speaker 2: it's a different ballgame. There's a different dynamic here, and
9:43
Speaker 2: so to me, I mean, as far as Game five
9:46
Speaker 2: wins go, I think it was a really nice win.
9:49
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it in the big category. I think
9:52
Speaker 2: Bucket would be proud that I'm not putting it in
9:54
Speaker 2: the big category game five of the season. But I
9:57
Speaker 2: think it was a nice win, and I think it
9:59
Speaker 2: was sort of a home setter, like there might be
10:01
Speaker 2: a different big dog this year. We might be the
10:05
Speaker 2: hunted this year, and we are perfectly willing to take
10:08
Speaker 2: on that role.
10:09
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, and I definitely think it was. It was
10:11
Speaker 4: a nice win.
10:11
Speaker 1: It was good, and it does feel really good to
10:14
Speaker 1: beat the Yankees at any point in the season. Always
10:17
Speaker 1: I'm never I mean, I have never made it quiet
10:20
Speaker 1: that I dislike the Yankees, so I'll take a win
10:22
Speaker 1: over them all the time, I just was thinking like
10:26
Speaker 1: their reaction seemed a little bit more because it was
10:28
Speaker 1: Cal who had done it versus somebody else, and that
10:32
Speaker 1: could have just been me also thinking like, oh, I'm
10:34
Speaker 1: happy for Cal that he did that.
10:35
Speaker 2: I think they would have been happy with anybody.
10:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm happy.
10:39
Speaker 2: There's no doubt that, you know, all three of the
10:42
Speaker 2: big guys are looking to get on track. I mean,
10:45
Speaker 2: even with the three and two start, there's frustration in Julio.
10:48
Speaker 2: Maybe Josh Naylor doesn't get frustrated, because that guy seems
10:52
Speaker 2: sees deep into the layers of the onion on everything,
10:55
Speaker 2: So maybe he's not worried about his over nineteen start.
11:00
Speaker 2: Julio I think is I think Julio is once again
11:03
Speaker 2: bothered that he's looking up at a scoreboard before we
11:06
Speaker 2: get to the month of April and he's hitting fifty three,
11:09
Speaker 2: and when he does hit a ball hard, it doesn't
11:11
Speaker 2: seem to find green grass. He has struck out eight
11:15
Speaker 2: times and nineteen appearances, and he knows that he's got
11:18
Speaker 2: a reputation of getting off the slow starts, and frankly, frankly,
11:22
Speaker 2: and we're not going to make a big deal out
11:23
Speaker 2: of this. He didn't hustle down the line in the
11:25
Speaker 2: bottom of the eighth I mean, you could see it.
11:27
Speaker 2: He had a high chopper up the middle, and with
11:29
Speaker 2: his speed, which is elite, he could have beaten that out.
11:33
Speaker 2: We've seen him beat that out. But his frustration showed
11:36
Speaker 2: and Julio was not busting his ass down the line,
11:40
Speaker 2: and Jazz Chisholm probably wouldn't have thrown him out had
11:44
Speaker 2: he busted his ass down the line. And that's not
11:46
Speaker 2: just to get an infield single. There was a runner
11:49
Speaker 2: at third with two outs, that's to take the lead
11:51
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the eighth, and he wasn't busting
11:54
Speaker 2: his ass then, And certainly kl did not foresee a
11:58
Speaker 2: start like this. He did not, for a personally, he
12:01
Speaker 2: did not foresee that he was going to be sitting
12:05
Speaker 2: because he hates sitting in the fifth game of the year,
12:07
Speaker 2: that he wasn't going to play in the first game
12:09
Speaker 2: against the Yankees. So for whatever reason, they felt they
12:13
Speaker 2: needed to give him a complete day off yesterday, And
12:16
Speaker 2: it couldn't have set well with a guy that wants
12:20
Speaker 2: to play every single wants to catch every single inning
12:23
Speaker 2: of every single game. So obviously there's a little bit
12:27
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of frustration that has already set
12:29
Speaker 2: in and there is a little bit of kind of
12:33
Speaker 2: moving the pieces around mentally to try to get the
12:36
Speaker 2: three big dogs on track. Because if you're off to
12:40
Speaker 2: a three and two start and you're looking at Naylor,
12:43
Speaker 2: col and Rodriguez with what four hits combined through these
12:49
Speaker 2: first five games, I mean, you're feeling pretty good about
12:52
Speaker 2: yourself because you do know they are going to start
12:56
Speaker 2: clicking at some point. I mean, Donovan's not going to
12:58
Speaker 2: stay as hot as he is, that's for sure, and
13:01
Speaker 2: we're probably not going to get that great of a
13:03
Speaker 2: pitching performance out of all five starters are incredible, Yeah,
13:08
Speaker 2: to start the season, but certainly, I mean it's kind
13:11
Speaker 2: of a little bit encouraging that you split with the
13:14
Speaker 2: Dodgers or see me the Guardians who beat the Dodgers
13:17
Speaker 2: last night, by the way, and then you beat the
13:19
Speaker 2: yank He's a really good team to start the series.
13:23
Speaker 2: So you're off to this three and two beginning, even
13:25
Speaker 2: though a lot of things about the team just haven't
13:27
Speaker 2: started clicking, Like a lot of really important things about
13:30
Speaker 2: the team have not started clicking yet.
13:31
Speaker 4: Yeah.
13:31
Speaker 1: No, I think you definitely, especially as a fan, have
13:34
Speaker 1: to be happy with where they're at.
13:36
Speaker 4: Given what you're seeing and.
13:37
Speaker 1: I think even as a team, Yeah, you're gonna have
13:39
Speaker 1: some frustrations over the fact that those three guys aren't,
13:43
Speaker 1: you know, doing what we expect from them. But at
13:46
Speaker 1: the same time as you said, I mean, I think
13:47
Speaker 1: you said that perfectly. We know it's going to happen.
13:50
Speaker 1: So if you know, you can't let the frustration, Julio
13:53
Speaker 1: can't let the frustration get to them, because that's going
13:55
Speaker 1: to be that's gonna make it worse almost.
13:57
Speaker 2: I mean, he does not run out a ground ball
13:59
Speaker 2: with his beat a high chopper up the middle. That's
14:02
Speaker 2: a long throw for Jazz Chisholm. That is an infield
14:05
Speaker 2: single for Julio Rodriguez, who isn't pouting. Yeah, I'm trying
14:10
Speaker 2: not to make a big deal out of it, but
14:11
Speaker 2: he did not bust it down the line. We take
14:14
Speaker 2: the lead. If Julio Rodriguez does what he normally does
14:17
Speaker 2: and sees an opportunity for a knock and busts his
14:20
Speaker 2: ass down the first base line. He beats that out.
14:22
Speaker 1: And stead he looks at it and was like, oh yes,
14:25
Speaker 1: and then runs that's what yeah, yeah, yeah, And I
14:29
Speaker 1: think I mean, I even watching him last night too,
14:31
Speaker 1: he's got some big swings that he's putting out there,
14:34
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you can't be swinging for the fences
14:37
Speaker 1: every single time, just trying to will this thing to
14:39
Speaker 1: fix itself.
14:40
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what's going on. Like I asked
14:43
Speaker 2: Ryan Healey about this yesterday. He thinks it's just a coincidence. Frankly,
14:48
Speaker 2: I think it's just a coincidence. But man, those guys
14:52
Speaker 2: in the WBC are all off to terrible starts, and
14:56
Speaker 2: I don't I don't really know. I guess I just
14:58
Speaker 2: have to chalk that up to it's just a coincidence.
15:01
Speaker 2: But if you're in the WBC, it means we were
15:03
Speaker 2: one of the best players in the world, especially on
15:06
Speaker 2: the American team. That's an elite list, and the Americans
15:09
Speaker 2: are particularly struggling. I mean, Josh Naylor doesn't have a
15:12
Speaker 2: hit from the Canadian team. I'm just looking at the
15:16
Speaker 2: worst hitters. The guy's off to the worst start this year.
15:19
Speaker 2: This is just the bottom page of batting average in baseball,
15:23
Speaker 2: and you've got Julio's fifth worst batting average, Bryce Harper's sixth.
15:30
Speaker 2: Wilson Contreras is on that page, Jung Huli is on
15:33
Speaker 2: that page from Korea. Carlos Santana, who played for the
15:37
Speaker 2: Dominican team, didn't play a lot, but he was on
15:39
Speaker 2: the Dominican team. He's on there. Alejandro Kirk is on
15:44
Speaker 2: the bottom page. Let's see, this is just a smash.
15:48
Speaker 2: There's one page, just one page of the worst hitters.
15:50
Speaker 2: Nolan Aronado is on that page. He played for Team
15:53
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico. Kyle Schwarver is on that page. Let's see
15:59
Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez, I don't remember Jose Ramirez was on a
16:01
Speaker 2: team taoscar Hernandez is on that page. O'Neil Cruz is
16:06
Speaker 2: on that page. Let's see who else do we got?
16:11
Speaker 2: And that's all that's that I can recall. Oh, Jazz Chisholm,
16:14
Speaker 2: who played for Great Britain, is on that page. Aaron
16:17
Speaker 2: Judge is off to a slow start. He's not on
16:19
Speaker 2: the bottom page, but we know he's off to a
16:20
Speaker 2: bad start. Cal Rawley's off to a bad start. Gunner
16:23
Speaker 2: Henderson's off to a bad start. Brian Byron Buxton's off
16:26
Speaker 2: to a bad start. It's like everybody that played on
16:29
Speaker 2: Team USA is off to a slow start. I mean,
16:31
Speaker 2: I'm certainly going to chalk that up to coincidence, but
16:34
Speaker 2: it's awfully a strange coincidence.
16:37
Speaker 1: And Jose Ramirez was supposed to play for the Dominican
16:39
Speaker 1: Republic but his wife was having a baby, so I
16:40
Speaker 1: don't think.
16:41
Speaker 2: He didn't play. Okay, Yeah, but that's a lot of guys.
16:45
Speaker 2: It's a lot of guys that participated in that preseason
16:48
Speaker 2: tournament and got away from their own hitting coaches for
16:51
Speaker 2: two weeks of a five week preseason and have gotten
16:57
Speaker 2: off to terrible starts. And I don't know, if I
17:00
Speaker 2: don't know how hands on Sean Casey was for Team USA.
17:05
Speaker 2: I don't know if he did things to hey, you're
17:08
Speaker 2: doing this wrong? How about doing that?
17:09
Speaker 4: Gosh, I hope not right, yeah, or.
17:12
Speaker 2: If they just missed some instruction, or if it is
17:14
Speaker 2: just a big, giant, fat coincidence, but it is awfully
17:17
Speaker 2: strange that our best hitters in the game are the
17:21
Speaker 2: ones that are struggling to start the season, and certainly
17:24
Speaker 2: here in Seattle, our three best meat of the order
17:27
Speaker 2: guys are off to terrible starts. But it is just
17:30
Speaker 2: five games and we are three and two. Certainly nothing
17:34
Speaker 2: to worry about. They're all going to get going sooner
17:36
Speaker 2: or later. But I do wonder, I do. I can't help,
17:40
Speaker 2: but wonder. Oh yeah, if there isn't a factor there.
17:42
Speaker 1: Because even as a coincidence, it's kind of fascinating, right,
17:45
Speaker 1: I mean it is worth looking at and saying, hmm,
17:48
Speaker 1: this is different.
17:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ry Neely said, nah, that can't be it. I'm
17:52
Speaker 2: there too, but it is worth at least noting. All right,
17:55
Speaker 2: let's find out what's on tap for the rest of
17:56
Speaker 2: the show, Chucking bull.
18:01
Speaker 3: What's on tep?
18:02
Speaker 2: What's untep? Marinerds win two to one over the New
18:05
Speaker 2: York Yankees cal with the walk off, and so yes,
18:08
Speaker 2: the team is three and two on the year. They
18:10
Speaker 2: will play the Yankees again tonight. It'll be Logan Gilbert
18:13
Speaker 2: going for Seattle going for New York will be the
18:16
Speaker 2: left hander Max Freed. So another game with a left
18:19
Speaker 2: handed starter for the New York Yankees, and so that
18:22
Speaker 2: likely means more ref Snyder, more Roblaze, and so on. Now.
18:26
Speaker 2: The ABS challenge system continues to be a major topic
18:30
Speaker 2: in the sports world, and last night it made headlines
18:34
Speaker 2: everywhere because by the third inning, the Yankees had already
18:38
Speaker 2: challenged five of the umpire's calls and were successful on
18:42
Speaker 2: all five. It caused Aaron Boone, who's a red ass
18:46
Speaker 2: to begin with, gets thrown out more than anybody in
18:49
Speaker 2: the sport. Caused him to have a little conference with
18:53
Speaker 2: the home played umpire and whatever he said seemed to
18:55
Speaker 2: work because he didn't have another one the rest of
18:57
Speaker 2: the game.
18:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, but which he's a bummer for me because wanted
19:00
Speaker 1: them to get one wrong. I was so angry he
19:02
Speaker 1: was already zero for five by the third.
19:05
Speaker 2: Inning last night on Yankees just Yankees challenges in the game.
19:10
Speaker 2: And so again it continues to be a hot button
19:13
Speaker 2: discussion here to start the baseball season. We're not only
19:16
Speaker 2: going to talk about it later in the shown, We're
19:20
Speaker 2: gonna bring on jeen Sterotur today at eight o'clock because
19:23
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated what an NFL official, former NFL official has
19:27
Speaker 2: to say about this. Also want to talk to him
19:29
Speaker 2: about some NFL stuff and some college basketball stuff because
19:33
Speaker 2: he was an elite college basketball official too. He's been
19:36
Speaker 2: the CBS Sports rules analyst during the tournament. Ye, so
19:41
Speaker 2: we'll get his thoughts on that as well. So Jean's
19:43
Speaker 2: gonna join us today a little off season visit from
19:46
Speaker 2: our regular guest during the season, Jean sterotur today at
19:50
Speaker 2: eight o'clock. Evert Fitzi will join us at eight thirty,
19:52
Speaker 2: as he normally does on a Tuesday. We'll talk about
19:56
Speaker 2: the Kraken taking on the Oilers tonight in Edmonton. Games
20:00
Speaker 2: to go in the season. I mean, they're on the
20:03
Speaker 2: outside of the playoffs looking in. It is go time now,
20:07
Speaker 2: there's no more time to waste for the Cracking. They
20:10
Speaker 2: got to crack off some wins here to close out
20:13
Speaker 2: the season. Is it a cracking ticket Tuesday?
20:15
Speaker 4: It is a cracking ticket Tuesday.
20:16
Speaker 2: Yes, and it is a cracking ticket Tuesday as well.
20:19
Speaker 2: So'll be listening for your chance to win some cracking
20:20
Speaker 2: tickets before the end of the regular season. We will
20:23
Speaker 2: play a sounder every hour throughout the show throughout the
20:27
Speaker 2: day here at KJR. When you hear it, be the
20:29
Speaker 2: tenth caller at two o six two eight six ninety
20:32
Speaker 2: five ninety five and you will win a pair of
20:34
Speaker 2: tickets to see the Cracking before the regular season comes
20:37
Speaker 2: to a close. The Final four will be held Saturday,
20:40
Speaker 2: Michigan versus Arizona, which a fascinating note on that that
20:43
Speaker 2: we'll discuss later on in the show. Also, Illinois versus
20:46
Speaker 2: Yukon is the other matchup. The NFL held its annual
20:50
Speaker 2: meeting yesterday down in Phoenix or this week down in Phoenix,
20:54
Speaker 2: and there was a little bit of stuff that came
20:56
Speaker 2: out of it, a little bit of stuff within the division.
21:00
Speaker 2: They may have a burr up his butt that we're
21:04
Speaker 2: gonna have to talk about later on in the program,
21:06
Speaker 2: and we will certainly do that. Also, it looks like
21:09
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are gonna be on a hard knocks which
21:11
Speaker 2: is something we'll discuss in great detail today here on
21:15
Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the Mornings. And it is the
21:18
Speaker 2: eve of the Draftmas season. Tomorrow we will launch Draftmas
21:23
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. It's original birthplace right here on Chuck
21:27
Speaker 2: and Buck in the Mornings. I know that it is
21:30
Speaker 2: an international phenomenon.
21:32
Speaker 4: Now, we've been the galaxy.
21:34
Speaker 2: Really actually it's a galactic yeah phenomenon now, and I'm
21:38
Speaker 2: really proud of that. And yet no one can forget
21:42
Speaker 2: the humble beginnings of Draftmas where it started. It was
21:45
Speaker 2: right here in Seattle, Washington, on this very radio station.
21:48
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yes, they're gonna go crazy on Uranus today. Okay,
21:55
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. You know, yes, because I think they
21:59
Speaker 2: get to tomorrow before we do.
22:01
Speaker 4: That's right, Yes they do, yep.
22:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, But let's not forget our humble little sorerets and
22:08
Speaker 2: you know, parties and everything else, because that's what it's
22:12
Speaker 2: all about.
22:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's enough.
22:13
Speaker 2: It's not about celebrating on Saturn. It's about what's in
22:17
Speaker 2: here right in your heart, all right, Mariner's Morning After
22:21
Speaker 2: his next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r
22:23
Speaker 2: f M. Morning After here on Chuck and Buck in
22:27
Speaker 2: the Morning, Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
22:31
Speaker 2: I mean nobody, and I mean nobody is counting, but
22:35
Speaker 2: we are too. And oh, since I came back to
22:38
Speaker 2: the show.
22:39
Speaker 4: You are right, nobody is counting.
22:44
Speaker 2: I mean it's two and o versus zero and one,
22:47
Speaker 2: but nobody's counting. Nobody's got like a scoreboard, nobody's like
22:50
Speaker 2: crashing that.
22:51
Speaker 4: No, be crazy to worry or think.
22:54
Speaker 2: About that, right, So no, I mean small sample size. Yeah,
23:00
Speaker 2: just like the struggles of all the team USAWBC hitters.
23:04
Speaker 2: Uh huh, small sample size. We're gona worry that if
23:07
Speaker 2: Chuck's not there, the Mariners can't win.
23:09
Speaker 4: Right, I was not going to worry about.
23:12
Speaker 2: That, but I'm just you know, somebody might point that out,
23:17
Speaker 2: they might put it together right, and uh, it's just
23:20
Speaker 2: I just find it interesting.
23:21
Speaker 4: I'm glad you do.
23:22
Speaker 2: Uh Well, last night Mariners take on the New York Yankees,
23:26
Speaker 2: And let us just first say this before anything else.
23:29
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo was fan fantastic last night. Yeah, Oh was
23:34
Speaker 2: that good to see. I mean, and the umpire was
23:37
Speaker 2: trying to make him even better than he.
23:38
Speaker 4: Was he was he was maybe with some help from
23:42
Speaker 4: Mitch Garver.
23:43
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, which you know, and we're going to talk
23:46
Speaker 2: about that later on in the show. But like for
23:49
Speaker 2: about the last decade, I think we went too far,
23:53
Speaker 2: like overvaluing framing. And it's not like it's not of
23:58
Speaker 2: value anymore, but very clearly it's not as much value
24:02
Speaker 2: as it used to be. Stealing pitches now that you
24:06
Speaker 2: can challenge every pitch is I mean, but up to
24:10
Speaker 2: a point. If Mitch Garver can keep the umpire continuously
24:14
Speaker 2: being challenged because he keeps tricking him and fooling him
24:17
Speaker 2: with pitch framing, then they're going to eventually run out
24:19
Speaker 2: of challenges. And I suppose that that's a nice weapon
24:22
Speaker 2: to have, but just at its base level, framing pitches
24:26
Speaker 2: seems like it is a bit more archaic, even though
24:29
Speaker 2: it's a new thing, relatively new thing in baseball and
24:33
Speaker 2: was made way too big a deal out of in
24:35
Speaker 2: my opinion the last few years. But this new ABS
24:39
Speaker 2: system might actually diminish how valuable that was.
24:43
Speaker 4: I know, which is about yeah, yeah, I don't know.
24:46
Speaker 2: If it's a bummer, well kind of like it.
24:48
Speaker 4: You really are just cheating, yea, But I like it
24:50
Speaker 4: as a skill. It's a good skill.
24:52
Speaker 2: But let's get to the game itself. Because Steel was
24:54
Speaker 2: fantastic last night. He shut out the Yankees for six inning.
25:00
Speaker 2: He said, ninety five pitches. They did take him out
25:02
Speaker 2: of the game. He allowed just two hits. He struck
25:04
Speaker 2: out seven. He was fabulous. And then in the seventh
25:08
Speaker 2: the Yankees get a run off of Jose Ferrer and
25:12
Speaker 2: thanks to a Brendan Donovan air, his second so far
25:15
Speaker 2: on the young season, and that tied the game at
25:18
Speaker 2: one apiece. It would remain that way until the ninth,
25:21
Speaker 2: bottom of the ninth and cal Rawley comes to the plate. Now,
25:25
Speaker 2: he did not start the game yesterday. He pinch hit
25:28
Speaker 2: late in the contest. He struck out with runners at
25:31
Speaker 2: first and third and did not look good doing it,
25:34
Speaker 2: but he got a second chance at redemption in the
25:37
Speaker 2: bottom of the ninth pitcher's.
25:39
Speaker 3: Dual all night long. Next run weds it the two
25:45
Speaker 3: one hit hard walks it off against the Yankees. No
26:00
Speaker 3: Barons have a thing with walkoffs against these drugs bombers,
26:03
Speaker 3: don't they.
26:04
Speaker 2: We've seen goods a handful of times in recent years.
26:07
Speaker 2: Just Cow's fourth hit of the season, actually his third
26:10
Speaker 2: hit of the season, Sorry about that, and it is
26:12
Speaker 2: a game winning RBI to give the Mariners a two
26:15
Speaker 2: to one lead over the New York Yankees. Map Brash
26:18
Speaker 2: gets the win. Cole Young three more hits last night.
26:22
Speaker 2: He looks terrific at the plate, little Leo at a
26:25
Speaker 2: couple hits. He's been a bit of a rally maybe
26:28
Speaker 2: not starter, but extender so far in this young season.
26:33
Speaker 2: And Brendan Donovan on base three more times last night.
26:36
Speaker 2: He's got a five to sixty five on base percentage,
26:39
Speaker 2: which is offsetting a little bit of the defensive struggles
26:42
Speaker 2: that he's having with his new position, at least his
26:45
Speaker 2: new everyday position at third base. But the big story
26:49
Speaker 2: here was the big dumper who gets the game winning
26:52
Speaker 2: hit after having to sit game number five of the season,
26:56
Speaker 2: and I'm assuming just to kind of reset the mind,
27:00
Speaker 2: and he spoke after the game about coming through.
27:03
Speaker 5: Didn't go through my normal routine, kind of took it easy.
27:08
Speaker 5: Obviously still got my work in so but I mean,
27:12
Speaker 5: you know, there's only you're You're always one foul tip
27:16
Speaker 5: away from going in the game, so you know you're
27:18
Speaker 5: still ready. You're still kind of mentally there checking in
27:22
Speaker 5: and obviously getting hotter on that second half of the game.
27:25
Speaker 4: So I mean, like, honestly, you have a day off,
27:29
Speaker 4: but you know it's time you have a day off.
27:32
Speaker 3: I was staying lot to find a way into the game.
27:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the game was kind of you know,
27:36
Speaker 5: it was a tight game. Uh They're a good offensive
27:39
Speaker 5: club over there, so.
27:42
Speaker 2: You just it's better to be ready than it.
27:44
Speaker 5: Is to be surprised. So to me, in my mind,
27:47
Speaker 5: it was, you know, I was always going to get
27:48
Speaker 5: in there, just just a question more was just when.
27:52
Speaker 5: So just trying to stay ready like that, it'll be okay.
27:57
Speaker 5: You know, I know a lot of guys in the
28:00
Speaker 5: locker room, a lot of people across the league or
28:02
Speaker 5: are fighting the same thing. You know, guys are trying
28:04
Speaker 5: to find timing, and it's it's more it's under a microscope,
28:08
Speaker 5: more so now than it is in the middle of
28:10
Speaker 5: a season, just because you know it's the start of
28:12
Speaker 5: the season. Everybody's excited. You know they can keep up
28:15
Speaker 5: with certain numbers. So but you know, it's not a
28:18
Speaker 5: big deal. You know, I don't think. I don't think
28:22
Speaker 5: it's gonna last like that. You know, I don't think
28:25
Speaker 5: Naylor's gonna go hitless for the year. Same with Julio.
28:28
Speaker 5: Like I think everybody's gonna be just fine.
28:31
Speaker 2: Cal Raley after the game, after being the hero late
28:34
Speaker 2: in the contest and a two to one win over
28:37
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees, and yes, it's not a big deal.
28:40
Speaker 2: No one should be panicking. I mean, cal Raley's going
28:43
Speaker 2: to hit home runs, Julio Rodriguez is going to watch
28:47
Speaker 2: that batting average climb hopefully before the summer, and Josh
28:51
Speaker 2: Naylor is not gonna go hitless for the entire season.
28:53
Speaker 2: But it is worth noting. I think we talked about
28:56
Speaker 2: it a little bit, or at least I brought it
28:57
Speaker 2: up in our first segment the Star Starting nine for
29:01
Speaker 2: the WBC American Team, and I Ryan Haley sais coincidence?
29:06
Speaker 2: I agree, yeah, just worth just some information.
29:09
Speaker 4: Coincidence can still be looked at.
29:11
Speaker 2: They are combined thirty two for one forty seven so
29:14
Speaker 2: far this year with a two seventeen batting average, And
29:17
Speaker 2: if it wasn't for Bryce Terrang seven for seventeen start,
29:21
Speaker 2: we'd be looking at a sub two hundred batting average
29:24
Speaker 2: for arguably so for nine guys who are in the
29:27
Speaker 2: conversation of best American baseball players in the world. Yeah, okay,
29:33
Speaker 2: and they have a combined five home runs Chase the
29:37
Speaker 2: latter has four. Yeah, okay. So they're all off to
29:42
Speaker 2: a really slow start. Bryce Terrang excluded, and I'm not
29:47
Speaker 2: saying it has anything to do with it, but it
29:49
Speaker 2: is awfully odd. And then at Julio and Naylor to
29:53
Speaker 2: that equation and others and from other teams that are
29:56
Speaker 2: also struggling, not saying anything happen at the WB see
30:00
Speaker 2: that threw them off their timing, but it is strange
30:04
Speaker 2: that they're all struggling so much to start the year.
30:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And I mean baseball players are very routine.
30:09
Speaker 1: We talk about this, right, They have that routine down
30:12
Speaker 1: every single year, and that includes going into spring training
30:15
Speaker 1: and what they do to prepare for that, and you
30:17
Speaker 1: do have to think that it would throw them off somewhat.
30:19
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just like the All Star break, right,
30:21
Speaker 4: you have this all of a sudden this week.
30:23
Speaker 1: These people, you know, everybody goes to this abnormal thing
30:26
Speaker 1: and does things that they're not used to and a
30:28
Speaker 1: lot of people come out and they take a little
30:30
Speaker 1: bit to get back on track. I think anytime you
30:33
Speaker 1: throw a baseball player off, somebody that is that set
30:35
Speaker 1: in a routine on a day to day basis, it's
30:38
Speaker 1: gonna just take a little bit to get things back
30:40
Speaker 1: on track.
30:41
Speaker 2: It's just you're not gonna be as good if you
30:43
Speaker 2: don't have Kevin Seitzer around all.
30:44
Speaker 4: The time time.
30:45
Speaker 1: And there's that because his hitting lessons, his hitting philosophies,
30:49
Speaker 1: a hitting instructor.
30:50
Speaker 2: Well, that's like plile in the field without a farmer,
30:54
Speaker 2: let's see, and that would be stupid. Your rose, You're
30:56
Speaker 2: gonna get crooked unless you got a farmer to you.
31:00
Speaker 2: I agree, don't matter how big a bull or horse
31:04
Speaker 2: you might be to plow. Logan Gilbert will start tonight
31:13
Speaker 2: for the Mariners. Max Freed will go for the Yankees.
31:16
Speaker 2: So they are going with back to back left handers
31:18
Speaker 2: in this series, and that likely means Victor Roeblaz, Rob
31:22
Speaker 2: Refsnighter the left handed lineup will be taking the field
31:25
Speaker 2: tonight for the Mariners, and no doubt Kyl will be
31:27
Speaker 2: back in the lineup tonight and catching all right coming
31:31
Speaker 2: up next. Man, I didn't even know this was legal.
31:36
Speaker 2: I thought it was against the law. And yet the
31:40
Speaker 2: Seahawks are going to be doing something that feels to
31:44
Speaker 2: me like contraband Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
31:48
Speaker 2: hard locked on Hard Knocks. I would have been waiting
31:51
Speaker 2: kind of all evening for this to start. So that's
31:54
Speaker 2: how much I liked the show. I mean, Jackson Feltz
31:57
Speaker 2: and I when I used to do Middays, we had
31:59
Speaker 2: a Chuck Knock that we did every year to preview
32:03
Speaker 2: all the opponents, and we used the song and it
32:06
Speaker 2: was we had fun with it. We even did a
32:08
Speaker 2: simulation of every single team on the schedule and I
32:11
Speaker 2: and the premise behind that was I wish everybody had
32:14
Speaker 2: a Hard Knocks. Yeah, because that's how much I liked
32:17
Speaker 2: the show. And Yet the moment that I kind of
32:20
Speaker 2: stopped liking the show where it's like, man, this is boring.
32:23
Speaker 2: I've seen all of this before. You're not getting the
32:25
Speaker 2: same access that you used to get. I don't really
32:28
Speaker 2: watch it anymore, and so by the time I moved
32:32
Speaker 2: on from it, now you're going to give me the
32:35
Speaker 2: local team yep, which I thought there were all sorts
32:40
Speaker 2: of rules that prohibited this from occurring. And yet the
32:43
Speaker 2: surprise announcement yesterday from down in Phoenix is that the
32:48
Speaker 2: Seahawks are going to be this year's Hard Knocks team.
32:52
Speaker 2: I don't understand it.
32:53
Speaker 3: No.
32:54
Speaker 4: I was baffled, and I thought at first, I was like,
32:56
Speaker 4: this can't be real. It's got to be a joke.
32:57
Speaker 4: But I saw an.
32:58
Speaker 1: Article written about it. I saw you Report tweeting about it.
33:01
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, if Ian's saying it, then I
33:03
Speaker 1: gotta trust it. And it also said that they've already
33:05
Speaker 1: picked the twenty twenty seven Hard Knocks team to see
33:07
Speaker 1: that the Patriots.
33:08
Speaker 4: Are going to be doing it.
33:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, how can you do that here?
33:11
Speaker 4: I don't know.
33:12
Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing that I can read into
33:14
Speaker 2: it is that this it is desperation time to save
33:17
Speaker 2: the series and picking a team that didn't make the playoffs.
33:21
Speaker 2: And then they felt like there is just way too much,
33:24
Speaker 2: too many obstacles in the way of us putting on
33:27
Speaker 2: the most entertaining product. So we would like to put
33:30
Speaker 2: on a product number one that's never been on before.
33:33
Speaker 2: And number two, how about giving us the Super Bowl
33:36
Speaker 2: champions because there will be a fervor at.
33:38
Speaker 4: Least in the Pacific Northwest for it.
33:40
Speaker 2: And so it looks like the Seahawks, and probably against
33:43
Speaker 2: the Seahawks wishes are going to be the Hard Knocks team. Now,
33:47
Speaker 2: on one hand, I know the Seahawks don't want to
33:50
Speaker 2: deal with this. Nobody does in the National Football League,
33:52
Speaker 2: So I don't like it from that perspective. Number two,
33:54
Speaker 2: I really don't like the show anymore. So I don't
33:57
Speaker 2: like it from that perspective either. But I'll say if
34:00
Speaker 2: anything was going to get me to watch, I will
34:02
Speaker 2: obviously watch. Now. I'll soak up every single minute because
34:05
Speaker 2: it's going to give us a lot of content to
34:07
Speaker 2: react to the next morning. So if you were trying
34:10
Speaker 2: to get me to watch Hard Knocks again, well you've
34:14
Speaker 2: succeeded National Football League. Because I'm in I can't. We can't,
34:18
Speaker 2: as talk show ohs in this town miss a single
34:21
Speaker 2: second of a single episode, because it will at least
34:25
Speaker 2: generate a lot of buzz here in Seattle and among
34:28
Speaker 2: Seahawk fans, even if the show doesn't resonate with anyone else.
34:32
Speaker 1: Well, and I will say I went down that same
34:34
Speaker 1: path with you of being like, Okay, I'm kind of
34:36
Speaker 1: bored by the show, I'm over it.
34:38
Speaker 4: But the last two years I thought it got better.
34:40
Speaker 1: So I when I saw this yesterday, I was like, hell, yes,
34:44
Speaker 1: I'm pumped. And I know that people are worried that
34:46
Speaker 1: it might it's going to be a distraction to the
34:48
Speaker 1: team and things like that, but I don't think that
34:50
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's letting anything be a distraction to the team.
34:53
Speaker 1: And you have to think about how many media obligations
34:55
Speaker 1: they already have and all the things that actually really
34:58
Speaker 1: goes on that we don't usually pay attention to.
35:02
Speaker 4: And I think I just I'm excited.
35:04
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see Schneider and McDonald behind the scenes.
35:07
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see this relationship that this team has
35:11
Speaker 1: and get to kind of know these these players more.
35:14
Speaker 1: I just think the whole thing is very exciting and
35:17
Speaker 1: I'm super pumped to watch it.
35:18
Speaker 2: Well, it certainly will be more interesting for the Seahawk fan.
35:21
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's without doubt. Now you were talking
35:24
Speaker 2: about that, like, how is this going to affect us?
35:26
Speaker 2: Then I started thinking about selfishly, how is this going
35:28
Speaker 2: to affect our coverage of the team. They're going to
35:32
Speaker 2: be a little more guarded with their information with us.
35:35
Speaker 2: I don't know that interesting to navigate that h for sure,
35:38
Speaker 2: I like that, but we shall see. But yeah, we
35:42
Speaker 2: do get the Hard Knocks show, and look, I don't
35:45
Speaker 2: think it's anything to worry about. I don't think it's
35:47
Speaker 2: going to be some distraction. I think you're right. But
35:49
Speaker 2: if Mike McDonald had a choice, I'll bet you'd say
35:52
Speaker 2: I don't want it.
35:53
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm sure he would.
35:54
Speaker 2: John Schneider had a choice. I mean, this is a
35:56
Speaker 2: guy that I mean, he just pops out every once
35:59
Speaker 2: in a while to talk to the media. Yeah, I
36:02
Speaker 2: mean as as a whole at large. So the idea
36:06
Speaker 2: of him being sort of featured on Hard Knocks, I
36:09
Speaker 2: don't know, doesn't sound like something he would want to
36:12
Speaker 2: have happened. Yeah, I'm sure if they had their choice,
36:15
Speaker 2: their druthers, they wouldn't do it. And yet it sounds
36:18
Speaker 2: like it's going to happen. So yes, from a Seahawk perspective,
36:23
Speaker 2: it's must watch television for me, for you, and for
36:27
Speaker 2: a lot of our listeners. Now they're going to treat
36:29
Speaker 2: it as such, and it wouldn't have happened otherwise. But
36:33
Speaker 2: I'll say, if I was given the choice, I think
36:35
Speaker 2: and not want to do it.
36:36
Speaker 3: No.
36:36
Speaker 4: And I can completely understand that.
36:38
Speaker 1: They did change the rules last year, by the way,
36:40
Speaker 1: so the previous exemption had protected teams from being featured
36:43
Speaker 1: if they made the playoffs within the last two seasons,
36:45
Speaker 1: but they took that away. The only thing I think
36:48
Speaker 1: that still stands is it can't be a first year
36:49
Speaker 1: head coach that has to deal with hard knocks.
36:52
Speaker 4: Okay, that's basically it.
36:54
Speaker 2: Okay. I think they were desperate. I think they obviously are.
36:58
Speaker 2: It's not as popular as what it won. They're trying
37:00
Speaker 2: to bring it back and the yeah and there, and
37:02
Speaker 2: if we can't, if we can't bring it back by
37:06
Speaker 2: going with a Super Bowl champion, then it's gone, then
37:10
Speaker 2: it's gone. So this is these next two years is
37:13
Speaker 2: probably there. I mean they probably have a two year
37:15
Speaker 2: plan right now. We go with this, we go with
37:17
Speaker 2: the Patriots, and then if it doesn't revive you know,
37:22
Speaker 2: the you know, the what's the brand? Yeah, then we're
37:26
Speaker 2: going to just move on from it, which I'm okay with.
37:30
Speaker 1: Which player do you hope will be featured that like
37:33
Speaker 1: that you would be looking forward to.
37:35
Speaker 2: Well, Sam's kind of boring and I like it that way. Yeah,
37:40
Speaker 2: js N is interesting, but he's not going to give
37:43
Speaker 2: them much. I don't know. I mean I think maybe,
37:49
Speaker 2: I think maybe seeing Cooper Cup, Yeah, it's going to
37:52
Speaker 2: be interesting. I think Leonard William's personality.
37:55
Speaker 4: Yeahs thin people. I think.
38:00
Speaker 2: Memorial will be a great Witherspoon. I mean, that's a
38:03
Speaker 2: personality that we don't know as well as maybe we
38:06
Speaker 2: should because he doesn't do a lot of interviews here locally,
38:08
Speaker 2: so it might be nice to get to know him
38:10
Speaker 2: a little bit. But I mean, there's there's a there
38:12
Speaker 2: are enough, there's enough, there's certainly enough intrigue with this
38:15
Speaker 2: team and every corner. But we'll see, we'll see how
38:20
Speaker 2: it goes down, all right, coming down next headlines plus
38:23
Speaker 2: speaking of the National Football League, What the hell is
