  Speaker 1: I did wear a fancy sweater today, so you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: feel free to say some nice things about that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just actually zooming the camera in sure
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: because it was it was angled rig over here and
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: you were on the very side, and I was like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, he's wearing a really nice sweater.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: We got to center him.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I got a very well dressed down but I decided
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with the cameras.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And everything, you looks snazzy.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Well, Ashley, Ryan, I can't see. All I can see
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is your head.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: That's fair. Yeah, they've got a lot of computers between us.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: For all I know. You're just wearing a barrel with
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: suspenders on it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I am yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I mean you're sitting down, so probably not.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: It would have been hard to sit with a barrel.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I see, it would have been difficult.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I cut it in half though.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Unless you're not sitting at all, unless you're just standing sady,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: squatting there, squatty inside a barrel with suspenders over your shoulder.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of monkeys in here too, I'll tell you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Well you got to count those monkeys
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and a barrel.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Well, Good morning, Ashley and Chuck properly attired for you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: today on both radio and television cameras, and so we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: welcome you to our four hour radio extravagance. It will
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: take you till ten o'clock. Still know Bucky Jacobson. He
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is on extended to medical leave. And so if you're
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: wondering why there is a show called Chuck and Buck
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in the Mornings that only has Chuck and Ashley on it, well,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: there's a good explanation for you. Maybe just moved here
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: from you know, tuk tuk.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, maybe you did, because that rhymes with Chuck
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and Buck right.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, that's the explanation. We also have a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: new Greg Bells back in studio, and do have this
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: at your household? By the way where because I got
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to get the feeling that five Iron has a pretty
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: strong opinion about how things are supposed to be done. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: does he move stuff around like the trash can for
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: goodness sake? Because I don't care where the trash can is,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: but I would like for it to just be in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the same spot every day. And so somebody moved the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: trash can underneath the table here broadcasting studio from over
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in the corner. I'm like, Okay, if that's the new spot,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I can go with it. But now it's been moved
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: back to the corner. So I went to throw something
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: away today and its new spot and now it's back
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in its old spot, and so I don't know, I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just somebody's tinkering. I don't know if it's I don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: know if we got a new person in studio, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: can we just I don't care where it goes, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it just there's a place for it to go and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it stays there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's absolutely fair.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: If if five Iron started moving our trash can around
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: the kitchen, I'd get real annoyed.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Unicorn does it on a minute by minute basis, No,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: wherever she is, whatever's can, she slides it over to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: where she is, and then she leaves it there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd go insane, would you?
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I would see, That's what I mean, And because that
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: makes me feel better because I don't like it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And yet I'm sitting here thinking, well, you know, they
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: always say don't sweat the little stuff, and there's a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: lot of big stuff, so you know, you just kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of let the little stuff go. And so that's one
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that I've chosen to let go. But it does drive
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: me crazy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like my cat will sit on our trash can
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: and then I'm like, he's back on the trash can again,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: so I have to pick him up to put trash away,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: or I used to leave the trash on the counter
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: for a minute and wait for him to get up,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: which he eventually will do. But even that annoys because
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: you'll pick him up and take him off the trash can,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and then you throw away what you need and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: two seconds later he's back on the trash can. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: it's usually when I'm cleaning, so I'm going back and
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: forth to the trash can all the time while I'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: cleaning up the kitchen area, and that alone annoys me enough.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: But there's two kinds of garbage cans that are that
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: go in a kitchen, right.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: There's the one that goes under the sink.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's the one that's like the metal kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: with a lid that's stays out in the kitchen.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Neither of those need to be moved anywhere besides the
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: one place they're meant to be.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think that you know, you got
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: something in your hands and you're like, hey, I'm trying
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: not to drip this on the floor or whatever the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: case may be. I need it to be where I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: think it is, that's right, but always being moved, So
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I got to deal with it at home, But I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: deal with an unstable person at home. Well, I don't problem.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with it at work, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I would like to think I'm not working with unstable people.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: But if you are unstable, Greg Bell, if it's you,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: then I am going to call you out. Well we'll
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Or Unicorn's coming in in are off time and moving
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the trash can for you, just to make it feel
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: like you're at home.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: No, trust me, she never leaves the house.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well then we're at least you know
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it's probably Greg.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, welcome into the radio show. We've got
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a lot to do today. I want to let you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: know that one thousand dollars in Grand Slam Cash can
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: be yours. And man, those people they've really, after ten
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: years of this, have decided. Boy, we got to shake
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: up the words. Yep, so family. Family. I don't know
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we've ever had family be the keyword in the Grand
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Slam Cash contest, but it is today. Family. Enter it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at ninety three to three kjir dot com for your
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: shot at one thousand dollars in Grand Slam cash. All right,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of different things to discuss today. We'll get
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to what's on tap here in a moment, but I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do believe we start with Major League Baseball. The Mariners
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: last night saw their four game winning streak snapped in Minnesota.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: They were absolutely thumped by the Minnesota Twins, the final
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: score being eleven to four. I'm not too worried about
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the result. There are certain nights that you show up
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and it's just not there, and it kind of felt
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: like one of those nights last night. It was dreary,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm I'm imagining you're in the midst of a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: road trip. You just came from Saint Louis, you go
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to Minneapolis. You were already thinking what kind of weather.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You sat around all day believing that it was going
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to get rained out. The forecast was for rain, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: then it did rain. It rained the entire game, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: so it was just dreary. There were about one hundred
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: people in the crowd, it felt like, and it just
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it felt like both teams were having difficulty getting into it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But the Mariners provided a couple of breaks for the Twins,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and so they got off to the early start. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: then Luis Castillo just continues not to have it and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it got out of control. I felt like we almost
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: got back into the game, but it was just the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: performance was as dreary as the evening. I'm not surprised
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that they lost occurred last night, and I still fully
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: expect to win this series and to leave Minnesota out
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of the hole and back to five hundred. But last
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: night was just not the night for the Mariners.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: No, it really wasn't.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: It did feel like it was a game that they
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: played because they had to, because they were like, we
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: have to do this because we can't do a doubleheader
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and we can't make it up sometimes, so we're just
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: going to power through and play this game.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: That's what it felt like. And it kind of felt
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: like everyone.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Was, at least on the marritors, was kind of just
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: going through the motions like all right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They would have, but they tried to avoid.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Right, they tried Yeah, And it felt like they were
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: really trying to avoid it in this situation, and it
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: felt like the mirrors were Yeah, it was just like, okay,
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: well we got to play this game, so let's go
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: out and play this game and get it done.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of how it felt.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a bit gross. It was
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: kind of a gross watch and then it was a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: gross performance, and you know there was this feeling like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to be I mean even the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Julio drop and center field yah, yeah, you know, a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: bad route to the ball that you could tell that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: somebody from the Dominican is not used to going back
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to the center field wall, who plays at home with
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a roof over it, is not used to going back
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to the center field wall with driving rain in his eyes.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He's trying to catch out high fly ball and trying
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to feel where a wall is that he's not used
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to playing that track, that field and with rain coming
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: down from the skies right into his face, and he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: misplayed it and they gave it a triple could have
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: been an error, and it opened up the floodgates for
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a big inning. But that does not recuse Luis Castillo
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: at all. He is just a struggling pitcher right now.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: His era climbed to six three five I think last night,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: maybe even higher than that. I'm doing that for memory
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: from what I saw last night, but six and a half.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It's in the six and a half range. And we
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: are now over a month into the Major League Baseball season.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So it's looking less like a short sample and looking
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: more like Luis Castillo's really in a funk. Now. I'm
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: maybe I give him a little bit of you know, again,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you're playing games in cold weather, and you know, Julio
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: has admitted not liking playing baseball in cold weather, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he he is a second half guy, and Luis Castillo
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: also Latino maybe just doesn't like playing in rain and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: just doesn't like playing in cold and will straighten things
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: out as the season goes along. But he's just he
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: just doesn't look like a good picture right now. He
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: just does not look like the rock at this point.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: No, he doesn't. He does.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I haven't had a lot of you know, the fist
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: in the air moments. And I bringing up the rain though.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: It is interesting because if you remember last year, we
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: struggled in every game where there was a rain issue,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: where it was either there was a rain delay or
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: there was rain all day and then maybe the game
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: was gonna be postponed or it was postponed. We didn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: do well in any of those games. True, So maybe
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: that's maybe we just need to know that if it rains,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: we're gonna lose.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Just move ahead.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Well, if that is the case. I think we'd like
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to get our arms around it. I mean, I know
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of these forty degree rainy games
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that we play in, but nonetheless I don't want to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: just kick them. I would rather not give them away.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: But certainly it is. It's a factor. I'm not going
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to use it as an excuse, but I am going
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to recognize it as a factor. But that hasn't affected
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Castillo in every start. And frankly, what I see from
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the veteran pitcher on this team who everybody adores in
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that clubhouse, and we as Mariner fans, like Luis Castillo,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and we like nothing better than to see him right
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: his ship. We've seen him be excellent so many times.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But this is somebody that right now is working completely
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: on the fringes of the strike zone. I mean, he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see the number. I'm sure it is somewhere.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I guess I could have looked that up, but I'd
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: like to see just the percentage of strikes he's actually throwing,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: because he's going deep into counts all game long to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: nearly every hitter, and it's because I'm trying to work
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: outside of the strike zone I'm trying to get you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to chase my fastball above the zone. I'm trying to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: get you know. He's that he's always had that nasty,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: wicked movement on his two seamer that just doesn't even
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: look natural, that it fades away from the left hander
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and comes in on a right hander. And yet he's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: starting that pitch outside and because he doesn't want to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: work the middle of the plate, he doesn't want to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: risk working the middle of the plate. And then hitters
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: are disciplined enough and have good enough scouting reports that
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they now know if it's a fastball up, he's trying
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to go outside the zone. If he's going to go
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: two seamer away, he's trying to go outside the zone.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And his slider never goes into the zone. His slider
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is always breaking in on the left hander and just
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: missing the strike zone, or it's having to come across
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the heart of the plate, which he tries to avoid.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And so what I just see somebody right now is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: just knows that he doesn't have good stuff, and actually,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in a strange way, he is commanding it. I think
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he is throwing it where he wants to throw it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: He wants to live on the fringe is, but I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: think all the hitters know that's what he's trying to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: do to us. They're laying off all of those nasty
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: pitches that aren't going to hit the strike zone, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it just forces Luis deep into counts. He's pitching almost
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: twenty five pitches every single inning. He's having to give
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in because he's loaded the bases because guys won't chase
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: stuff out of the strike zone, and then he has
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to give in because he doesn't have any place to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: put them, and then they hammer the ball like Cody
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Clemens did last night. I mean, Cody Clemens. You know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: this is very league. This is the guy that's made
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a nice little Major league career for himself against all odds.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: But this isn't somebody that is supposed to hit a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: three run homer against you on a rainy night with
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Luis Castillo on the mound and kind of knocks the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: game out of range. But that's where Castillo is right now,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe he doesn't have to fix
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe because they're paying him so much money and they
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: have so much respect for him as a veteran that
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: his job is safe well into the summer. I don't know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but we've discussed this before. I think he made a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: promo out of it a couple of weeks ago with
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Away Emerson's pitching. My belief that Bryce Miller wants healthy,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: is certainly one of our best five starting pitchers. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: just don't think there's any doubt that Luis Castillo is
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not one of our best five starting pitchers right now.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And the way Kate Anderson's lighting up the miners, I'm
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: not sure he's one of our best six starting pitchers
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: right now. And so it's gonna be a difficult decision
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: when the time comes that Bryce is ready to come
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: back from the injury list, what you do to shake
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: up this starting rotation. But I will say this, I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: don't know what they're going to do. I wouldn't be
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: surprised by anything. But what I do know for a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: fact is he has not earned a spot in the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: starting rotation in twenty twenty six. He is clearly our
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: worst starting pitcher right now.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And I would like
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: to see them I mean, because at this point, I
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: don't know how high his trade value would be either,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: because he's not I.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Don't think he has any Yeah, you have to trade
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: for another bad play yeah, player who's playing bad that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of money.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Which we don't Yeah, which we don't need to do.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: So I think, I mean, I would like to see
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: them try to put him in the bullpen and see
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: what happens.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: And maybe he I.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Mean, he had some He came out of the bullpen
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: during the playoffs last year, didn't he, And and that
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: was good, and yeah, that was the playoffs. But he
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: was also pitching better last year. But I'd like to
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: see that and see if that makes a difference in
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: what he's doing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It's I see a world where that could be really effective.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I see a world where if you did it the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: right way and you used examples like John Smoltz from
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the past and Dennis Eckersley and other guys who were
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: starting pitchers who you know, in their mid thirties made
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a transition to the bullpen and ended up going on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to have tremendous careers or at least a tremendous stretch.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Eckersley had a tremendous career, had a Hall of Fame
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: career as a reliever. Smoltz had a couple of great
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: seasons as a closer, even though to this day he
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: won't be shy about telling you he wish he would
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: have never done it. So there's this pride thing about
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: being a starter. It feels like a demotion. It feels
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: like a slap in the face, even if you do
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: have the best interest of the team at heart and
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: maybe even the player at heart. I could see him
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: still thriving in that role where he didn't have to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: worry about managing six innings of work and could just
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: go all out for an inning or two. But I
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: might be thinking of Luis Castillo prior to this year.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: His stuff's just off right now. But I could see that,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and I think there's a way to pitch it to him.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But and you could, and you never have enough good
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: bullpen arms. I don't know if they'll go there, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll like it, and so it's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: going to be a tricky situation that are going to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: have to manage. But one thing's very clear, he is
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: off his game right now. We are two games under
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: five hundred, and one of the big reasons that we're
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: still under five hundred is because every fifth day Luis
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Castillo can't get people out.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is rough to watch because, as you mentioned,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: we all like him when he's on, he is on,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: and he's awesome, and he's very well liked in the clubhouse.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: And that's why I think, Yeah, trying to move him
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: to the bullpen, I don't. I mean, he seems like
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: a team guy, you know, he didn't. He was happy
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: for Logan when Logan got the opening day start a
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: couple two seasons ago over him, because he'd had it
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: before that. And I would like to see what could
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: come of that having him in the bullpen. I mean,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: he could even potentially be a long reliever, which I
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: think we could use.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I think that would be even more insulting. Oh you think, yeah,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: if you pitched him a high leverage role that he
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: could eventually move into, not like immediately, but eventually we'll
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: move into. But it might have to happen in the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: off season in order for him to really put his
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: arms around it. I mean, we do have him under
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: contract for another year after this, so we'll see. We'll
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: see how they go with it. I mean, they might
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: just be as patient as they possibly can. I saw
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: your friend Alex tweet out, maybe it's Phantom. I l time.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: That's always a possibility where you just kind of concoct
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: an injury. I mean, everybody feels a little banged up
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball one month into the season, so
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: maybe you buy some time there to try to fix
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: them the right way. We'll see how they go about it.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: But as I've mentioned many times before, this is about
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: winning the World Series and I'm not going to worry
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: about hurting feelings of veterans who just aren't getting the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: job done. And the same thing goes with JP Crawford,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: which that decision might have to come later down the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: line as well. So that's just where I am with it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: We don't have to make the decision today, but it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: coming soon. Bryce is almost ready to make his return,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to mess with Bryce Miller either.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: He was our best picture at the U into the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: last year when he was actually healthy.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we need him.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, we've got a lot of other things
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to discuss about that game last night. We'll get into
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit of it with Mariners morning after coming
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the hour. But let's find
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: out what else is on tap, what's on TEP what's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: on tep so. Eleven to four was the final score
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: last night in the rains of Minneapolis. They are not
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: expecting bad weather tonight or tomorrow, so the rest of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the series should be played on a dry field. No
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: complaints there. The Mariners are fourteen and sixteen. The Twins
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: snapped a five game losing streak or was it a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: six again? Trying to do that from memory. I looked
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: it up yesterday. They had a losing streak, but that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: got snapped last night, and they are throwing their best
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: pitcher tonight Joe Ryan versus Logan Gilbert, so a heck
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: of a pitching matchup tonight. NBA Playoffs, the Orlando Magic
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: won over the Detroit Pistons last night, ninety four to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: eighty eight. Significant because US, the number one seed in
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, is now just one loss away from
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: being eliminated in the first round by Orlando and the Magic.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: We'll have three chances to get the job done. Ugly
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: finish last night, Orlando was trying to give the game away.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: My goodness, the shot selection down the stretch was horrific
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: by Orlando, and even though they gave Detroit a thousand opportunities.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It felt like to win that game. Detroit shot so
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: horribly from the field, their offense was so bad down
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the stretch. They couldn't pull off the win. It really
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: felt like they were feeling the pressure. It really felt
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: like a choke job last night. Now, I know it's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: on the road, and I don't like to use the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: C word. I think we over use it in sports.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But Orlando just kept giving them chance after chance, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Detroit could not make a shot and they were usually
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: falling short with their shots, which suggests they were gripping
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit down the stretch. They're in trouble, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it just shows you. It's something that I do subscribe to.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: It's just the theory, but I subscribe to it. You
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: don't just get ushered just because he had a good
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: regular season. The playoffs are completely different ballgame. You just
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: don't get ushered to the finals. You usually have to
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: show that you're good and then suffer a few lumps
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: in the postseason before you get over the hump and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: actually make it to the NBA finals. We might see
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that from San Antonio before the playoffs come to an end,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but I think we're seeing it from Detroit right now
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Denver one, so they avoided elimination against Minnesota. They won
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: by twelve last night, but the Timber will still have
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a three to two series lead and OKSE advanced in
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: just four games against the Phoenix Suns Philadelphia at Boston tonight,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Atlanta at New York, Portland at San Antonio. The Celtics
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and Spurs can clinch Stanley Cup playoffs. Pittsburgh three two
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: winners over Philadelphia last night, so Philadelphia still they can't
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: close out Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh remains alive. Meanwhile, Vegas needed overtime
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to defeat Utah, Otherwise that series might have gotten away
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: from the Knights, but they do win in overtime and
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they even the series at two apiece. Boston at Buffalo tonight,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Minnesota at Dallas, and Anaheim at Edmonton. Buffalo and Anaheim
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: can clinch their series. Anaheim wins over Edmonton and that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: really throws a wrench into the postseason. Dogs After Dark's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be Saturday this week, so the spring game for you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Dubcam Cleveland will join us today to talk some NFL
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Draft and also some Husky football at nine o'clock. And
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of course we are still in draft mode, Draft hangover
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: this week the drafter math, if you will. Greg Bell's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: going to join us for one last time to talk
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: draft at seven oh five and then we'll give him
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: some time off. And Mike Rabel, of course, his family's fixed.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: He left day number three of the draft and so yeah,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: everything's fine. He's back at work on Monday, so just
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: one day of counseling. Had to miss the draft for that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Y's for sure a lot apparently, bought some nice you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: linen items at the store and good, everything's fixed, so
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: good for the crunch. Yeah, Mariner's Morning After. Next Sports
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, it is time for
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Mariners Morning After. The team got thumped last night on
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: a rainy night in Minneapolis. There was talk that the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: weather was going to clear out around eight o'clock, so
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: they started the game and then it never did clear out,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So you pretty much just played two and a half
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: three hours in just gross rain, just full rain, not
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: like misted, and the Mariners matched it with kind of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a gross performance. But there were some chances to get
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: back into the game, which we'll talk about in a moment,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: but the biggest issue was the whole the team dug
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: for themselves. Luis Castillo again not sharp last night. You
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: could pull a Millie Vanilli. You could blame it on
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the rain like to but he's not been good this season.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Velocity was around ninety two to ninety four, which is
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: just not what we're accustomed to sing from Luis Castile.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: The stuff's just not there so far this year. And
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: he gave up a run in the first and I
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: don't know how it was called earned, but it was.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: It was called earned, and that's something we'll talk about
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show. Made it
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: one to nothing at that point, and then in the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: bottom of the third, that's where it got away from Castillo.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: The Julio Rodriguez playing center field, which I think could
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: have very easily been called an error, and they gave
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: it a triple to Trevor Larnick. And then Luis Castillo
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: has Josh Bell set up with two strikes, one and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: two throws three straight balls. Can't get Bell to chase,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: so he got two guys on. Then he's up one
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to two on Ryan Jeffers. He can't put him away.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: He fitts a floater to right field for a base hit. Saying,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and then you're facing you know, let's face it, the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: twins worst hitter in Cody Clemens, famous dad and whatnot.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But this isn't the guy that is supposed to break
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: your back on a rainy night in Minneapolis. And that's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened. They've got runners at first and second,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and here comes Cody Clemens deep out to right field.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Rath Steiner is looky.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Not man.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It is gone third home run this year, four Clemens,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and it comes with a couple of men on base
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: and the Twins. I've open things up. It's five to nothing.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: In the third, a Byron Buxton to run omer made
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: it seven to one, and so a six run lead
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: at that point. Mariners got as close as eight to four.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: They were threatening in the eighth inning as well for
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: more runs, and it seemed to have a shaky pitcher
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit on the ropes, but a base running
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: situation kept the team from threatening first there uh and
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: then Alex Hoppey, who again we'll talk about later when
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: we've got more time. He ends up letting the game
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: get away. Uh As Minnesota would score three more times
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and they win it by a final score of eleven.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: To four. So I keep pushing some conversations into the future.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get into a couple of them in this segment.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: But let's first hear from Dan Wilson after the loss.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tough one tonight, kind of you know, raw conditions
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: out there tonight, you know, and uh, they were able
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to put some runs up early and and uh, you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: probably the way that our guys bought back. You know,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I thought we had some good at bats there later
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: tried to call back into that game, especially you know,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: getting Cols homer there and then Brandy hitting the ball
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: off the wall. You know. Uh, I've thought the guys
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: put up some some much better at batch towards the end.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Of the ballgame. And but you know, just we just weren't.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Able to get enough going tonight consistently, and and uh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: you know, they they were they weren't missing early in
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: the ballgame, and and we're able to capitalize on some
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: of their traffic.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: How do you hope he bounce? Actually it's been its strung.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think, uh, you know, he's a
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: he's a veteran.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: He knows.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: The adjustments that are going to be made, and he
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: understands that, and I know he continues to work and again,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: you know, his his process over you know, his last
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: several ball games, he's been getting in ahead in the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: count and attacking the zone. You know, tonight just uh
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you know, like I said, that the.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Big blow of the homer. But uh, you know he'll
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: make his adjustments. Uh, yes, as I said, Yeah, he's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: getting ahead. He can't put anybody away his strikeout pitches,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: he doesn't throw anything in the zone, and he can't
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: get anybody to chase. I think the book is out
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: on him. And then he doesn't have his normally sharp stuff.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: The velocity is down, the movement's not there, and he's
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: working the fringes, and if hitters are disciplined enough to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: lay off, then he's got to come to him them eventually,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: because he's put traffic on the base paths and he's
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: going full count on nearly every hitter and they're just
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: waiting him out and then getting a pitch to hit
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and they're not missing it. And so it's a recipe
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of frustration, certainly for Castillo. He himself, not just Dan
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: said afterwards, Hey, we go through these things. I'm in
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a slump, right now, I'll come out of it. But
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: when you consider the starting pitching numbers crunch that we have,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: do you as an organization allow him to show the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: patients to see if he can come out of it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: But last night seven earned runs for Luis Castillo Era's
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: at six and a half, now A lost to the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins by a final score of the eleven to four.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: But I mentioned a couple of other things I wanted
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to get into because there were a couple of opportunities
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to get back into this game. Let's talk about the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena slide all right, number one, That ball
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: was at far enough and Randy is fast enough that
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: he should be at second base on that play. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: realized that it took a nice bounce back to the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: right fielder, But if you're busting out of the batter's box,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: there's no way with Randy's speed that he shouldn't have
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: been standing at second base with a double right there.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: So something happened. Something happened that he either thought it
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: was gone or maybe because of a weird right field
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: wall in Minnesota, maybe he thought that it did leave
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the park. Maybe I don't know, but he ends up
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the ball clearly beat him there, and then he slides
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and clearly beats the tag and is safe at second
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: except that his foot pops off of it. So I've
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: already stated that I'm not sure Randy was hustling, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: if there is any doubt, even if he was hustling,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: when you're trailing by four runs, you can't get thrown
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: out at second base. So I'm already going to acknowledge
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: that I'm putting some blame here on Ram dear Rose
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: arena that said, I hate that Major League Baseball has
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: not corrected this because I think it is a major mistake.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: These bases are not made of jell o pudding. These
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: bases are hard, okay, and so when you hit a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: base at speed, you're going to have some sort of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: turbulence and it is going to cause a foot to
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: probably come off the bag. I think that Baseball needs
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: to have a halo that they recognize on these situations
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that go straight up from the bag, straight up from
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the bag. So if somebody the torque that they hit
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the base with and their foot comes off, if they
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: slide over it, that's another thing. All the do you
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: slide past it, you can't hang onto the bag. But
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: when you slide into the bag and your foot one
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: hard hop, it's another hard object, and for a split
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: second your foot comes off of that bag. I think
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that there should be a halo of space. And I'm
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: not just saying this because of last night. I've been
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: saying this for ten years. There should be a halo
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of space above that bag that suggests that the base
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: runner is safe. Gene's territory would agree with me on this.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: The idea of instant replay was not to slow it
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: down frame by frame and try to catch somebody being
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a fraction off of a base that they're sliding into
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that is not easy with the foot to hold on to.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: The only way to do it is to slide head
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: first and wrap the bag with your hands, because your
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: hands won't have the same torque. But Major League Baseball
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't want players to slide in that situation head first
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: because they're afraid they're gonna break their hands or fingers
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: or wrists or something of that nature. So they teach
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: them to slide into that base in that situation feet first.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But there is really it is out of your contral
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: whether or not the science the physics of that particular play,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: when your foot is hitting a hard object and popping
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: up off of it, potentially the physics of that is
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: nearly impossible to stay on the bag. I wish they
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: would change this. I hate this. I didn't necessarily hate
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it for Randy because he should have never tried it
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: if he didn't think he was going to get there
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: for Shore last night. But I hate that that rule
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: has not been invoked by Major League Baseball because it
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: seems obvious to me.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree, And I as you're saying it,
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: I'm picturing like how the replay would look with the
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: you know, like they have the EQC box, and it
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: would just be like a glow glowing, little.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Clear kind of thing that you could see through and
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: then you'd see, oh, yeah, foot there, Okay, we're good.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Yea.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: It'd be real fast.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying that it applies if
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you stand up on it and then lift your foot
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: off of it.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: No, but it would have to be in the motion
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: of in the motion and before the calls Okay, yep,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: you can get up now if your foot never leaves
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: that cone, Yeah.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's not the spirit of
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: the rule. I love that we have instant replay. I
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: love that we're getting it right, But I don't think
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it was ever designed to catch somebody with a hard
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: slide into a bag and while he's sliding over the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: bag his foot to keep it from breaking, slides off
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: or pops up above the bag. If it slides over it,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: call him out, yeah. If it slides to the side
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of it, call him out, yes, absolutely. But when it's
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: going over the bag, and the turbulence of those two
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: things connecting, you know, an immovable object and a speedy
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: athlete coming in, you know, do we want them Do
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: we want to teach you've got to stick your leg
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: in there so you know, if it snaps, it snaps.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: You know, do we really want to teach that? The
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: spear rid of the rule Gene's territory would agree, is
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: not to slow it down frame by frame to catch
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: somebody's leg popping up off the bag when they're trying
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: to slide hard into second base. So I want that changed.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I don't have time to get into cool young criticism,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it later on in the show.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll talk about the NFL Draft and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: more importantly, the rest of the off season. Can the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Hawks now finally have an off season? Can we give
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell some time off? The answer is hell No.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Hi, Greg Bell
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: asked us, Hey, you know, but we're gonna lie on
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: this draft. Any chance they could, you know, maybe get
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: a day off?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: No, why would you get that?
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: No?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Actually, he's always willing to come on. So we're gonna
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: bring him on again at seven oh five today and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: then give him a little bit of time off as
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: long as nothing happens. Something happens, then we will call
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: him headlines also at the top of the hour as well.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Good morning, it is Chucking Bucks. Short's Radio ninety three
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: point three Kate j r f M. Yeah, now that
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the draft is over, Yeah, Greg Bell's going to have
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: all sorts of room for activities. So are you you
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: get to actually go on a field trip now that
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: we're not stuck in draft? Miss? You got a field trip?
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Good old fashioned field trip?
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: This week?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Do it chaperoning a kid's field trip.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Fifth grade field trip to you dub for Science and
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Engineering Day. And I was worried that sounds poring it does,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: but asked.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: If that doesn't sound like going to the science Center.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: No, no, it's like we're going to explore you dub
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: their science and engineering departments, I believe.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever happened to just going? You put your hand
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: on one of them balls and makes your hair stand.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: I know that's fun they have at the Pacific Science Center.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: No, Palmer said, oh, Mom, we're doing this. Can you
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: chaperone it? And I said can I?
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Or?
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: And will I?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: And then I thought would I rather work or would
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: I rather chaperone?
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: And then she said you will have to drive yourself.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Though I was like, oh, okay, I don't have to
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: ride the bus with thirty kids.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize, though, I was then volunteering to drive
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: all the parents.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: So now I have to drive with a bunch of parents.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know, which makes me nervous because I'm very
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: bad at small talk.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Oh and I hate driving people I don't.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, because I feel like they're judging everything I do.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I am a perfect driver when I'm by myself. Put
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: somebody in the car with me, and for some reason,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not nearly as good put somebody I don't know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: in the car with me and I'm terrible.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna be so nervous, and I gotta drive
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: all the way from Mill Creek to you Dub and back.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Pack a lunch, yeah, and you have to put
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But that's the fun about the field trip. That's what
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask. You're gonna take paper bag, You're
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: gonna put a susique in there.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: And do some sack lunches.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Make sure you don't put mayonnaise on your sandwich because
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: that's the one cardinal rule.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll just congeal.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite field trip growing up? You had
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: to have one, because I think they're different now.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I think you gotta be safer and you gotta worry
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: about things a lot more than what you used to.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: They do a lot of things, like more things that
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: are trying to teach the kids about the environment and
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: things like that. So they'll go to like the salmon
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: hatchery and thing different.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Things like Since though, if it is a field trip,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: let's go on to the field.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: My favorite one which I don't know how it was
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: considered a field trip, but we went to the fun Forest,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: which you don't know about. But more where Seattle Center
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: is in Memorial Stadium, there was a like a theme park,
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: an amusement park right there with I mean it is amazing.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Fifty people didn't die there every year. The rides were
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: a little rickety. They had the gyro now all of
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: a sudden, I forgot what it's called, but you got
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: in this dark circle inside it it was all closed,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: and then you leaned up against these like gym matts
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: on the wall and then the thing would start spinning
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: and the mats would fly up the.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Wall and you were like pinned to the wall. It
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: was my favorite thing on earth.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Fun forest, that was the best.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Well that just sounds like a fun outing that.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we did the Center things like that.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I remember like we went to things like
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the power plant, which sounds very dangerous. Yeah, no, I
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: don't think people would do that. The slaughterhouse.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Oh no, we would just like farms. But we didn't
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: go to the power plant there. Yeah, because I remember
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: the reason I remember it because my dad worked at
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: the power plant, so I got to like wave to
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: my dad at work.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Cool. But the one that have you ever heard of?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Robert Wadlow, No, Robert Wadlow is the tallest man that's
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: ever lived.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, actually I have.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: And he's from Alton, Illinois. He's from near my hometown.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: And that's why I've heard him because my dad's from
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Waukega in Illinois, and so he had told me that
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: the tallest man was from his state.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I yeah, I'm from Brighton, Illinois, which is right
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: next Alton, so like literally it is practically my hometown.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Anyway, that's where Robert Wadlow is from. So you want
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: to talk about an impact on like an eight year old.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: We went to Robert Wadlow's house where they kept everything,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: and they show his shoes in the chair that he
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: sat and everything else. I mean, a living giant. And
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: so that story is first of all, unbelievably fascinating. But
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about making an imprint on you. Now,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: that's a field trip right there. Yeah's that's that's something
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: to go to leave school for. Eat a susie q,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: you know, drink out of a thermos with your buddies,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: deal with what do they call them?
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: They weren't not den mothers.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, chaperons.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we didn't call them back. We had another
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: word back in the day. It was probably considered misogynistic
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: because it was always moms. So yeah, but yeah, that
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: was now that was a trip that really put It
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: made an impact on all of us, not just me.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Ye.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how they do it. I think
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: now they're so cheap they just go to the grocery store.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, all right, Well we didn't talk much about
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks off season, but I will just tell you
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: this May first through the fourth Seahawks Rookie Mini Camp.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: May eight through the eleventh Seahawks Rookie Mini Camp. So
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: there's you know, we're not out of the we're not
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: out of the yet. They don't get any time off
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: just yet.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: So Greg Bell really isn't going to get much time off.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: No, not at all. And then the schedule is out
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: and I don't know why they don't pinpoint this, but
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: it's either the twelfth, thirteenth, or fourteenth of May, so
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: we're not too far away from that either. We'll talk
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: to Greg Bell next. Plus your headlines on KJAR
