Chuck & Buck 10-8 Hour 2: 12th man news with Gregg Bell, Matt Brash postgame and Reckless at Breakfast! · Chuck in the Morning

0:03
Speaker 1: Rata on the ground back up the middle of the
0:05
Speaker 1: center field to base hit. Crawford's speeding around third, he
0:09
Speaker 1: will score. Randy Rosarna has his first RBI in the postseason,
0:13
Speaker 1: and it's two nothing, Seattle. He swings and sends one
0:16
Speaker 1: out towards deep left field.
0:18
Speaker 2: This one's way back there, and Aujano Suarez returns to
0:22
Speaker 2: Detroit with a bang.
0:24
Speaker 1: It's three nothing, Seattle.
0:26
Speaker 3: He's gonna go to Montero, but it's five to one.
0:29
Speaker 1: Crawford sends a fly ball out towards right field.
0:31
Speaker 4: That one's way back and gone.
0:34
Speaker 1: JP.
0:35
Speaker 3: Crawford right on cue delivers.
0:39
Speaker 1: He sends one the other way, well struck ball deep
0:41
Speaker 1: left field and gone. Rawley's first of the playoffs, and
0:47
Speaker 1: it's eight to one seanle. They are feeling it.
0:53
Speaker 3: Down the right field line.
0:54
Speaker 4: Naylor makes the catch, doubles it off, and then's the
0:58
Speaker 4: ball game. Josh Naylor on a frozen roof, snared it,
1:05
Speaker 4: stepped on the back and finishes off.
1:07
Speaker 1: Game three and the Mariners are one.
1:10
Speaker 2: Step away from the LCS Box Sports on the call
1:16
Speaker 2: last night, as the Mariners do win eight to four
1:19
Speaker 2: over the Detroit Tigers at Camerica Park, It's Chuck Powell,
1:23
Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson.
1:24
Speaker 3: We are on the road. We are broadcasting live from Detroit, Michigan.
1:29
Speaker 3: We will be again tomorrow morning and hopefully talking about
1:32
Speaker 3: an Alds victory. The Mariners do have a chance to
1:36
Speaker 3: take the series this afternoon here in Detroit with a victory.
1:41
Speaker 3: They got two bites at the Apple. If they need to,
1:44
Speaker 3: they can close it out at home Friday back there
1:47
Speaker 3: in Seattle. But let's get this thing done tonight. I
1:51
Speaker 3: think is sort of the mentality that the entire organization,
1:55
Speaker 3: and I think all of the state of Washington has
1:58
Speaker 3: as we enter this win. So welcome into the program.
2:01
Speaker 3: We roll into our seven o'clock hour here on a
2:04
Speaker 3: hump day, Mariner's eight to four winners last night. The
2:07
Speaker 3: pitching matchup this evening will be Bryce Miller for US,
2:11
Speaker 3: Casey Mize going for the Tigers. Start is at noon
2:15
Speaker 3: Seattle time, three o'clock out here in Detroit, Michigan, and
2:19
Speaker 3: an opportunity, as I mentioned, to close things out. Josh
2:23
Speaker 3: Naylor still is not hitting, but he was at least
2:27
Speaker 3: in the lineup last night. There was a lot of
2:29
Speaker 3: question about that. Josh Naylor has made it very well
2:33
Speaker 3: known that I don't like my personal affairs to be
2:37
Speaker 3: mentioned anywhere, So he has controlled the narrative when it
2:41
Speaker 3: comes to his first child's birth. But he did at
2:45
Speaker 3: least admit last night that all is good, that they
2:50
Speaker 3: did have a baby. Mister and missus Naylor had their
2:52
Speaker 3: first baby last night, and he wouldn't really mention anything else.
2:56
Speaker 3: I think there was a bit of a gender reveal though,
2:59
Speaker 3: last night by his belt choice, because that thing was special.
3:02
Speaker 3: That thing was. It was blue, and it was sparkly,
3:06
Speaker 3: and it was and it said navels on it. I mean,
3:09
Speaker 3: that was something else right there. That was like a
3:12
Speaker 3: beauty pageant.
3:13
Speaker 5: I don't wholeheartedly understand the dazzled belt thing.
3:20
Speaker 6: Now, don't get me wrong. I've had jeans.
3:21
Speaker 5: I've had some jeans that had some bedazzles on the
3:24
Speaker 5: on the back pockets, Oh is that right?
3:26
Speaker 6: And I got made fun of by my friends a lot.
3:29
Speaker 5: And now, yeah, I just the bedazzled belt drawing attention
3:34
Speaker 5: to my waistline. But he, the dude just got flair.
3:37
Speaker 5: He's got a swagger about him. And that belt was
3:40
Speaker 5: I mean, it was ARCOLDI.
3:42
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever seen anybody as gritty
3:44
Speaker 3: and also as fashion as what Josh Naylor is. It's
3:50
Speaker 3: a rare combination. The rest of your headlines just quickly
3:55
Speaker 3: because we got to get Greg Belt in here, and
3:57
Speaker 3: we're already a couple of minutes late to his segment.
4:00
Speaker 3: The Huskies will host Rutgers Friday night. Cam Cleveland will
4:03
Speaker 3: join us today at eight o'clock NHL's opening night. Last night,
4:07
Speaker 3: three games took place, but the Kraken won't start until
4:11
Speaker 3: Thursday at home against the Anaheim Ducks. We'll talk to
4:14
Speaker 3: al Kiniski for the first time today at nine thirty.
4:17
Speaker 3: And of course it is hump Day, so I don't
4:19
Speaker 3: even know what happened Sunday to the Seahawks because I
4:21
Speaker 3: think about the next game starting on Wednesday, and that's
4:25
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville against the Jaguars. And joining us now, our
4:27
Speaker 3: Seahawks insider, Greg Bell, what do you think we're gonna
4:30
Speaker 3: close this thing out here tonight?
4:32
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, I think Brycemember does it?
4:35
Speaker 6: I do it?
4:38
Speaker 7: Schools would be a tougher proposition in one rather not face,
4:42
Speaker 7: I would.
4:42
Speaker 3: Think, yeah, why didn't you warn us that Detroit was
4:46
Speaker 3: so hospitable? We've been very kind to us. Since we've
4:50
Speaker 3: been here. He didn't tell me about that. And all
4:52
Speaker 3: your travels, all your worldly travels bell the.
4:55
Speaker 7: Midwest people, Man, there's some you know that Illinois. Man,
4:58
Speaker 7: it's a different it's different there. It's yeah, my mother
5:03
Speaker 7: lives there, my sister lives there and spent a lot
5:05
Speaker 7: of time in Detroit and always have a great time.
5:07
Speaker 6: I'm glad to turn you out as it should. Yeah.
5:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're treating us well up here. All right, Well
5:12
Speaker 3: let's dive into it. Of course, coming off a tough
5:14
Speaker 3: loss on Sunday, and now suddenly a Jacksonville team that
5:21
Speaker 3: is playing much better than what people believed they were
5:24
Speaker 3: going to be this year. A four and one football
5:26
Speaker 3: team that's gonna host us host the Seahawks on Sunday.
5:32
Speaker 3: So Jacksonville just a different entity than maybe we thought
5:36
Speaker 3: we were up against five weeks ago.
5:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, four and one. They beat the Chiefs the other night,
5:42
Speaker 7: came from behind to do it. They've beaten the forty
5:44
Speaker 7: nine ers on the road. The Seahawks haven't done very
5:48
Speaker 7: much in the last decade. They've also beaten Carolina and Houston.
5:52
Speaker 7: The early loss was to the Joe Burrow Bengals before
5:56
Speaker 7: Burrow got hurt thirty one, thirty one, twenty seven. I
5:59
Speaker 7: think they lost in Cincinnati. I certainly lost. The biggest
6:02
Speaker 7: thing that stands out to the knee about the Jaguars
6:05
Speaker 7: their defense. They have ten interceptions and four fumble recoveries
6:09
Speaker 7: in five games. That's fourteen turnovers they produced in five games.
6:14
Speaker 7: You're gonna win a lot of games doing that. They
6:17
Speaker 7: had brought Purty turning the ball over in Santa Clara
6:20
Speaker 7: a couple weeks ago. That's the most startling thing about
6:24
Speaker 7: this team. Trevor Lawrence is still not what they drafted
6:29
Speaker 7: him to be. He's six touchdowns in five interceptions so
6:32
Speaker 7: far this season. He's barely a sixty percent passer. His
6:36
Speaker 7: passer ratings are in the seventies. He's not. It's their defense.
6:41
Speaker 6: So far.
6:42
Speaker 7: They have Travis ANDTN is their lead running back, but
6:46
Speaker 7: the defense is what the Seahawks attention. I mean, if
6:51
Speaker 7: you're producing that many turnovers, you're gonna win games. And
6:55
Speaker 7: that'll that is an equalizer and that is probably number
6:59
Speaker 7: one on the Seahawks dive and the Jaguars and how
7:02
Speaker 7: they're doing that.
7:04
Speaker 5: Well, how do you figure the Seahawks got to match
7:06
Speaker 5: up with it. Obviously the key would be, well, don't
7:08
Speaker 5: turn the ball over to them. But okay, if they're
7:11
Speaker 5: really good at finding ways to do it, whether it's
7:14
Speaker 5: disguises or just super athletic guys making plays, I mean,
7:18
Speaker 5: how do you combat that with trying to make Trevor
7:22
Speaker 5: Lawrence make some mistakes because, like you said, he still
7:24
Speaker 5: is prone to do that.
7:26
Speaker 7: Well, it's the same ole thing. I think you could
7:29
Speaker 7: just cut and pace. You've probably saved the time and
7:31
Speaker 7: not call me when you asked me what the Kiva
7:33
Speaker 7: game is. Just replay a tape from the last two years.
7:36
Speaker 7: Run the ball and that's how That's the best of
7:41
Speaker 7: Sam Darnold, and that's how this team has been designed,
7:44
Speaker 7: is to keep the ball away from offenses, run field position, control,
7:50
Speaker 7: the clock control. That's how they want to play. They've
7:53
Speaker 7: rarely played that way. Right. Pittsburgh in Week two is
7:56
Speaker 7: the only game that you can really say the running game.
8:00
Speaker 7: And that didn't happen till the second half in Pittsburgh.
8:03
Speaker 7: They the yardage numbers in the game. The other day
8:07
Speaker 7: in Tampa Bay game showed that they ran one hundred
8:10
Speaker 7: and twenty two yards total, But you didn't feel that
8:13
Speaker 7: the running game was dictating field position, time possession, keeping
8:17
Speaker 7: the ball away from Tampa Bay, who's still gained four
8:20
Speaker 7: and twenty five yards and Mayfield stiff for three seventy
8:23
Speaker 7: five and for four touchdowns. So they've really yet to
8:27
Speaker 7: play a full game offensively how they're designed to. I
8:30
Speaker 7: don't know what's coming because they are still running the
8:32
Speaker 7: ball and whether they're producing yards or not. Koviak has
8:35
Speaker 7: shown time and again he's gonna run. He's gonna run
8:38
Speaker 7: his head and then bang it into the wall if
8:40
Speaker 7: they have to keep running. But to me, that would
8:44
Speaker 7: be the way to mitigate your risk of turning the
8:47
Speaker 7: ball over. Of course, you could still lose fumbles, and
8:50
Speaker 7: they've done that too, But it bears repeating that if
8:55
Speaker 7: Sam Darnold holds onto the ball does not turn the
8:58
Speaker 7: ball over in the final minutes of two games games,
9:00
Speaker 7: they could be five and oh. A lot of NFL
9:02
Speaker 7: teams could say that, But that's how important turnovers are,
9:05
Speaker 7: and turnovers at the quarterback position in particular hard Seahawks.
9:09
Speaker 3: Inside of Greg Bell joining us here on the radio program,
9:12
Speaker 3: of course, you can follow at g bel Seattle on
9:14
Speaker 3: x and Thenewstribune dot com for complete comprehensive coverage of
9:18
Speaker 3: your Seattle Seahawks all year long. They take on the
9:21
Speaker 3: Jaguars this Sunday. We don't have a defense problem, do we?
9:25
Speaker 3: I mean, this seems like a ridiculous question to ask
9:28
Speaker 3: of a Mike McDonald team, But my Baker Mayfield had
9:32
Speaker 3: way too much time to throw and too easy a
9:35
Speaker 3: time to score thirty eight points against the Seahawks on Sunday.
9:40
Speaker 3: So I mean, what's Mike McDonald's doing to scramble and
9:44
Speaker 3: make sure that that was an outlier of fluke and
9:47
Speaker 3: not something that could be repeated.
9:50
Speaker 7: I think they do have a defense problem, and it's
9:52
Speaker 7: one we've talked about since the beginning of the season,
9:54
Speaker 7: is tackling, especially in the secondary. But they got exposed
9:59
Speaker 7: even more than that in the front against Tampa Bay
10:02
Speaker 7: and they're mistackling. Everyone on the team pretty much had
10:04
Speaker 7: mistackles at some point.
10:06
Speaker 6: In the game.
10:07
Speaker 7: And McDonald said they're going back to the drawing board
10:10
Speaker 7: on Monday. He said they are going to reevaluate how
10:12
Speaker 7: they're coaching and drilling tackling. He doesn't use it as
10:15
Speaker 7: an excuse that they can't go pads, but for fourteen
10:18
Speaker 7: practices of the entire regular season by CBA rule he
10:22
Speaker 7: doesn't make. He doesn't think it's an excuse that you
10:25
Speaker 7: can't you don't bring guys to ground because of injury concerns.
10:28
Speaker 7: He said, everybody else is playing by the same rules too.
10:31
Speaker 7: They drill it a lot, They talk about it a lot.
10:33
Speaker 7: They have form tackling drills that they tailor buy defensive position,
10:38
Speaker 7: depending if you're an open field secondary guy, you have
10:41
Speaker 7: different open field tackling drills than say a defensive lineman does.
10:44
Speaker 7: They do spend a lot of time on him. McDonald's
10:46
Speaker 7: point was, we are not getting the results for as
10:49
Speaker 7: much as effort and investment of time and just strategizing
10:54
Speaker 7: how are we going to tackle, They're not getting the
10:56
Speaker 7: results for all they're putting into it. So he said,
10:59
Speaker 7: they are revalued and they've got to do it on
11:01
Speaker 7: the fly here before they leave for Florida on Friday.
11:05
Speaker 7: It's a problem in the NFL off and early in seasons.
11:08
Speaker 7: We've talked about that from not doing it in training camp.
11:11
Speaker 7: But when it's now October and you're still having those problems,
11:14
Speaker 7: I'd say they do have a problem on defense. If
11:16
Speaker 7: you can't tackle in the NFL now the ball is
11:19
Speaker 7: the game in the past, game is get the ball
11:21
Speaker 7: out quick, mitigate pass rush. Okay, so if you're going
11:23
Speaker 7: to not get to the quarterback because the quarterbacks getting
11:26
Speaker 7: rid of it in less than two seconds and they're
11:29
Speaker 7: throwing four yard passes, that means that there is you
11:32
Speaker 7: got to tackle the guy or that four yard pass
11:34
Speaker 7: becomes ten, twelve, fifteen yards. And that's what happened with
11:37
Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield getting three hundred and seventy five yards.
11:40
Speaker 6: The other day.
11:41
Speaker 7: Now, they were a lot of passes down the field, yes,
11:44
Speaker 7: but if you're not tackling dudes when they're getting the
11:46
Speaker 7: ball out quick, then they might as well be fifteen
11:48
Speaker 7: and twenty yard passes because that's what the games are anyway.
11:51
Speaker 7: And that's what happened on Sunday. That's we've talked about
11:54
Speaker 7: this more than just in that game, the tackling issue
11:57
Speaker 7: they've had.
11:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I agree tackling. You can't allow them
12:01
Speaker 5: to just do the little short pitching catch for five
12:04
Speaker 5: yards and then run for ten more. That's not gonna
12:07
Speaker 5: work out in the long run. But I mean, is
12:09
Speaker 5: there anything that needs to change. Is it the pass
12:11
Speaker 5: rush that needs to get there? Quicker or do they
12:14
Speaker 5: need to tighten up the coverage because the fact that
12:16
Speaker 5: he completes twenty nine out of thirty three passes is
12:20
Speaker 5: beyond tackling, right, I mean tackling. You've got to do
12:23
Speaker 5: something there where it's not three hundred and seventy nine
12:25
Speaker 5: yards of passing in a couple of touchdowns. But I mean,
12:27
Speaker 5: what about just not allowing him to complete passes at
12:30
Speaker 5: an eighty or ninety percent clip.
12:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was the first game they didn't get any
12:35
Speaker 7: pressure and it didn't touch Mayfield until eight minutes left
12:38
Speaker 7: in the game. The safety plitz by the Anthony Bell
12:41
Speaker 7: was not only the first sec but the first hit
12:43
Speaker 7: on the quarterback with eight minutes left in the game. Yeah,
12:46
Speaker 7: you're gonna give up tons of yards and completions if
12:49
Speaker 7: you do that in this league. But before that, and
12:52
Speaker 7: actually it could go back to before five point fifty
12:54
Speaker 7: left in the game. In Arizona, they were the best
12:58
Speaker 7: pressure rate team in the league eighty plus percent of
13:01
Speaker 7: the time, and they were using form down linemen and
13:04
Speaker 7: they were getting forty plus percent pressure rates, which is
13:07
Speaker 7: like when you blitz all the time, usually get presser
13:10
Speaker 7: rates like that. And they weren't blitzing, so he tried
13:12
Speaker 7: blitzing more as the game went on against Tampa, but
13:15
Speaker 7: his blitzers were depleted. Derek Hall was injured, Devin Witherspoon
13:21
Speaker 7: wasn't playing, Julian Love wasn't playing, so they had Tyo
13:24
Speaker 7: Kotta blitzing, and Tyle Kotta was just running into the
13:27
Speaker 7: line and getting swallowed by three hundred pounds lineman. It
13:30
Speaker 7: was a useless endeavor to blitz Tyle Katta, and that
13:33
Speaker 7: seemed to be who he wanted to blitz because he
13:35
Speaker 7: was afraid of using his corners to blitz because he
13:39
Speaker 7: didn't want to give up the few cover guys he
13:40
Speaker 7: had left. Devin Witherspoon may play, he's not practicing yet
13:46
Speaker 7: and we'll see how this week goes through him, and
13:48
Speaker 7: same with Julian Love. If those two guys come back,
13:51
Speaker 7: those are two of your primary blitzers out of the
13:53
Speaker 7: secondary and now he has more options in coverage in
13:57
Speaker 7: and blitzing. But you can bet that he's coming up
14:00
Speaker 7: with a different plan this week against Trevor Lawrence to
14:03
Speaker 7: get more pressure than he did on Baker Mayfield last thing.
14:07
Speaker 3: Today, let's jump to the offensive side of the ball
14:10
Speaker 3: for an offensive question? Is it time to just scrap
14:13
Speaker 3: the Jalen Milroe package idea. I mean they're zero for
14:16
Speaker 3: three in trying to use it in games. Maybe he's
14:19
Speaker 3: not quite ready for that. Maybe they don't get enough
14:22
Speaker 3: time to practice it. Are they thinking about tabling it
14:26
Speaker 3: for a while, or what's the situation with that?
14:31
Speaker 7: Well? I intended to ask more about that today when
14:33
Speaker 7: I got out there, but I would say it's not
14:36
Speaker 7: fair to the mill Row to put him in for
14:38
Speaker 7: one play in three of the five games. I mean,
14:42
Speaker 7: it's like not even cameos. It's like lightning stroke. Oh
14:46
Speaker 7: here he is, and I was gone. Kenneth Walker told
14:49
Speaker 7: me after the game that they had practiced that pitch
14:51
Speaker 7: hops play quite a bit and that it just didn't
14:55
Speaker 7: execute it as we had practiced it. But don't it
14:58
Speaker 7: doesn't appear to practice is the issue to me, it's
15:01
Speaker 7: the issue of doing it more than once. And so far,
15:05
Speaker 7: the three times they've done it, it's all been on runs.
15:08
Speaker 7: So you can stack the box and crowd the line
15:11
Speaker 7: and bring everybody off the edge and run blitz and
15:13
Speaker 7: pretty much be assured so far that Milroe is only
15:16
Speaker 7: going to run the ball and they haven't shown that
15:19
Speaker 7: they trust him to pass the ball in the game,
15:21
Speaker 7: so it's not like there's a huge secret what's going
15:23
Speaker 7: to happen when number six comes in. They're going to
15:25
Speaker 7: run something either up the middle, around the end. That's
15:28
Speaker 7: what they've done. I don't think it's fair to say
15:30
Speaker 7: Milroe is not ready when he's only had three opportunities
15:33
Speaker 7: in five games. If they're gonna do it, it needs
15:36
Speaker 7: to be more than once. If they're not going to
15:38
Speaker 7: do it, then it means to be zero. But this
15:41
Speaker 7: half in, half out thing is just wasting everybody's time
15:44
Speaker 7: and it's wasting downs and to me, they haven't fully committed,
15:50
Speaker 7: not even halfway committed to it yet to make it work.
15:53
Speaker 3: All right, Greg, thank you Sarah for joining us, So
15:56
Speaker 3: we do appreciate it. We're kind of in the midst
15:58
Speaker 3: of we got baseball up to our elbows.
16:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, I understand.
16:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, enjoyed destrois okay? Are you downtown?
16:06
Speaker 1: Uh?
16:06
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah.
16:07
Speaker 3: We are actually really conveniently located to the Irheart studios
16:11
Speaker 3: and of the ballpark, So it's been it's been a
16:14
Speaker 3: lot of fun.
16:15
Speaker 7: When I was doing Monday night games and then do
16:18
Speaker 7: a Tuesday show from now. I was doing some studio
16:20
Speaker 7: on the suburbs. I'm guide your downtown. Yeah that I
16:23
Speaker 7: think they're gonna do it today. It would really behoove
16:26
Speaker 7: them to give a couple of days off to their closer.
16:30
Speaker 7: Doesn't need to pitch too many more times. It's too
16:32
Speaker 7: bad they can't rely on more than three relievers at
16:34
Speaker 7: this point, but so be it never works, right, Yeah.
16:38
Speaker 3: All right, Greg, thank you. We'll talk to you Friday.
16:41
Speaker 3: I think I think that's how the game. Yeah, all right,
16:43
Speaker 3: Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, joining us right here on
16:46
Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck in the morning, of course, follow Greg
16:48
Speaker 3: at gmail, Seattle there on x and at the News
16:51
Speaker 3: Tribune dot com, and we'll get back into our baseball
16:56
Speaker 3: conversations coming up in our next segment, Matt Brash, we'll
17:00
Speaker 3: be joining us here on the radio program. Plus we'll
17:02
Speaker 3: play some Factor fiction at seven thirty five Sports Radio
17:05
Speaker 3: ninety three point three KJRFM. Why from Detroit. Tears delicious.
17:11
Speaker 3: Tiger tears are delicious. You can clown. I put them
17:15
Speaker 3: in my champagne glass. Coming up, we've got Factor fiction
17:20
Speaker 3: here in about four minutes. But after last night's eight
17:23
Speaker 3: four win over the Detroit Tigers. I was down in
17:26
Speaker 3: the clubhouse here in Detroit and I caught up with
17:28
Speaker 3: Matt Brash.
17:29
Speaker 8: Congrats, thank you, grat nice outing. Yeah, the quick ones
17:33
Speaker 8: are always nice.
17:34
Speaker 3: You know what, you're a strikeout guy and you get
17:37
Speaker 3: three little measly ground balls.
17:38
Speaker 8: Out there, did you even feel like you worked up
17:40
Speaker 8: a sweat?
17:41
Speaker 9: Like I said, those quick ones are nice, and I mean,
17:44
Speaker 9: obviously you like to get strikeouts, So I'll take the
17:46
Speaker 9: all day every day, especially in playoffs when you're throwing
17:49
Speaker 9: a lot. So sure it'll help me feel little more fresh.
17:52
Speaker 8: Tomorrow, for sure. What are the marching orders here?
17:54
Speaker 7: Are?
17:54
Speaker 3: Are you just available at any time at this point?
17:57
Speaker 3: Is that what you've been told? Are you mostly into
18:00
Speaker 3: the eighth? What do you what's the marching orders?
18:03
Speaker 9: I think it's just kind of based on the guys
18:05
Speaker 9: who are up. I feel like Gabe's probably gonna face
18:07
Speaker 9: the lefties at the top and unless he goes in
18:10
Speaker 9: early and I'll face them later in the game, kind
18:12
Speaker 9: of like yesterday's game. But yeah, today I feel like
18:15
Speaker 9: Logan was rolling and I had a feeling maybe I
18:17
Speaker 9: would sneak in there against some of the right's at
18:18
Speaker 9: the bottom. So I'm always ready. You know, it's a
18:21
Speaker 9: life of a bullpen pitcher. You're kind of always ready
18:24
Speaker 9: for whatever. And you get moving in the fourth and
18:26
Speaker 9: then playoff times, anything can happen.
18:29
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm ready to go up.
18:30
Speaker 8: You're always ready. But it's postseason. Lights are brighter.
18:33
Speaker 3: You're playing in front of fifty thousand people for goodness
18:36
Speaker 3: sake every night. Do the nerves I'm sure they started
18:39
Speaker 3: that first time you got to the mound back back
18:42
Speaker 3: in game one, But do they start to dissipate? Does
18:45
Speaker 3: it just turn into baseball again? The further you get
18:47
Speaker 3: into this, I feel like.
18:50
Speaker 9: I'm more nervous, like earlier on in the game, and
18:53
Speaker 9: then once you get into your routine and the phone
18:55
Speaker 9: rings and you're warming up, it's just second nature by now.
18:58
Speaker 9: And especially when to get on the game ount it's
19:01
Speaker 9: like I always say, like I kind of like blackout,
19:04
Speaker 9: Like you're just you're going, you're competing, you're not thinking
19:06
Speaker 9: about nothing. You don't hear anybody that, you don't really
19:09
Speaker 9: hear the crowd until after the thing's over. So yeah,
19:12
Speaker 9: I mean, you always got the nerves, you got the butterflies.
19:14
Speaker 9: But that's good that that means you care and that's
19:16
Speaker 9: what you kind.
19:16
Speaker 3: Of look for. So all right, play pitching analysts for me,
19:19
Speaker 3: what'd you think of Logan tonight?
19:21
Speaker 9: I mean, he's been doing what he's been doing all year,
19:23
Speaker 9: and I feel like he really attacked guys early today
19:27
Speaker 9: and he was rolling. His pitch count was down, which
19:29
Speaker 9: was awesome, and I mean he gritted out at the end.
19:32
Speaker 9: He got big outs, some full counts there where he
19:35
Speaker 9: made big pitches and that's what we need. Were getting
19:38
Speaker 9: those six innings is huge for us, and save Gabe
19:41
Speaker 9: there today was huge too. So I mean, whenever your
19:44
Speaker 9: starters can go deep in the game in the playoffs,
19:46
Speaker 9: it's a huge advantage.
19:47
Speaker 6: And he looked great.
19:47
Speaker 8: I love when your Canadian slips into one of my interviews.
19:51
Speaker 9: Yeah, it happens every What's uh, It was funny last
19:55
Speaker 9: thing for you.
19:56
Speaker 3: I was sitting there overhearing Tom Berducci legend talking to
19:59
Speaker 3: who and was he the only question you asked him
20:03
Speaker 3: was talk about the pictures, and I think Tom was
20:06
Speaker 3: seeking something about their stuff, your stuff, all your stuff,
20:10
Speaker 3: and Julio goes.
20:12
Speaker 10: They get along so well, it's crazy, And I thought
20:17
Speaker 10: that was such an incredible thing to overhear from the
20:21
Speaker 10: center fielder with a gorgeous smile.
20:23
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
20:24
Speaker 3: But talk about that, talk about the bond that you
20:27
Speaker 3: guys have, because I'm always amazed whenever I'm around it.
20:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, a lot of us as came up
20:32
Speaker 9: through the miners together and we've been here for a while,
20:35
Speaker 9: like being young guys for some of the big leagues,
20:37
Speaker 9: and I feel like we've had a couple of years together,
20:39
Speaker 9: and you you just bond. I mean, you spend a
20:41
Speaker 9: lot of time together, obviously.
20:43
Speaker 8: But sometimes that can cause friction and you move apart.
20:46
Speaker 8: You guys seem to get closer every time I'm around you.
20:48
Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel like everyone just likes each other on
20:50
Speaker 9: and off the field. We do things even when we're
20:53
Speaker 9: not out of the field. Guys hang out or live together,
20:55
Speaker 9: whatever it is. But yeah, we just have a good time.
20:57
Speaker 9: And everyone has amazing stuff here. So yeah, I just
21:00
Speaker 9: feel like we get along really well and we enjoy
21:03
Speaker 9: what we do, and that makes it really easy.
21:04
Speaker 3: You can't be jealous of someone else's stuff when you
21:07
Speaker 3: two have great stuff.
21:08
Speaker 6: Everybody's got great.
21:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, everyone has great stuff, and everyone's cheering each other on,
21:11
Speaker 9: which is also a big thing too. I feel like,
21:13
Speaker 9: especially down in the bullpen, like next guy up, whoever's
21:17
Speaker 9: going in, like we fully support them.
21:18
Speaker 6: And if some guys aren't throwing as much.
21:20
Speaker 9: First others, you never feel like they're, you know, rooting
21:23
Speaker 9: against you or anything. Like we're one unit down there
21:25
Speaker 9: and we're just we're trying to win.
21:26
Speaker 8: That's all. We get ready for a game for yes, sir,
21:28
Speaker 8: there you go, all right, good luck.
21:30
Speaker 3: Thank you Matt Brash joining me last night in the clubhouse.
21:34
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk more about that comment about how close
21:37
Speaker 3: these pictures are a little bit later on in the show,
21:40
Speaker 3: but right now, we have to play some fact or fiction.
21:43
Speaker 3: Where's that to go?
21:44
Speaker 11: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
21:46
Speaker 11: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand price. It's
21:51
Speaker 11: fact door fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino in Hotel.
21:56
Speaker 3: We're every day feels lucky.
21:58
Speaker 11: Fact door Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
22:02
Speaker 11: three KJR FM.
22:05
Speaker 3: But it's my pick today and I kind of feel lucky.
22:08
Speaker 3: I'm putting the Lucky and Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel
22:11
Speaker 3: because here we are on a Wednesday, two full days
22:14
Speaker 3: of picks at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
22:18
Speaker 3: and no one has taken the game that I think
22:21
Speaker 3: is the slam dunk this week, so I am going
22:24
Speaker 3: to jump all over it. I am taking in the
22:27
Speaker 3: Red River rivalry the Texas Longhorns to win. Apparently it's
22:34
Speaker 3: turned into a pick them. I'll take that all day
22:36
Speaker 3: long because Texas, I think at one point was a
22:38
Speaker 3: three and a half point favorite, So I guess the
22:40
Speaker 3: money is coming in on the Oklahoma side. So if
22:43
Speaker 3: it's a pick them, that makes it real simple for
22:46
Speaker 3: me and anybody playing. I'm taking the Texas Longhorns to
22:51
Speaker 3: defeat the Oklahoma Sooners. I realize the Sooners are highly ranked.
22:55
Speaker 3: I realize that Texas is not ranked right now, but
22:58
Speaker 3: we're talking about a team that, on paper, was considered
23:01
Speaker 3: the most talented team in college football coming into this year.
23:05
Speaker 3: Nothing has really happened according to script for Texas this season,
23:10
Speaker 3: and I think everything is along the line for Texas
23:13
Speaker 3: in this game, not just the rivalry, but also like
23:17
Speaker 3: their entire season. I mean, they might they might already
23:22
Speaker 3: be out of the tournament. Certainly, if there's any chance
23:25
Speaker 3: to make the tournament, it has to start this weekend,
23:28
Speaker 3: and so I think this is the super Bowl, the
23:31
Speaker 3: Red River Rivalry, the National Championship, everything rolled into one.
23:36
Speaker 3: If Sart can't get Texas to play at its peak
23:40
Speaker 3: level with all the talent that they have, then it's
23:42
Speaker 3: just not gonna happen and they're going to fall apart
23:45
Speaker 3: this season. So I think everything is coming together for
23:48
Speaker 3: a Texas win and maybe even a comfortable win against
23:52
Speaker 3: the Oklahoma Sooners this weekend on a neutral field. So
23:56
Speaker 3: give me Texas with my factor fiction.
23:59
Speaker 6: Pick this week. All right?
24:00
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I do think that they are back.
24:03
Speaker 5: They've painted themselves into a corner to some extent. If
24:05
Speaker 5: they're not going to answer the bell this weekend, I
24:08
Speaker 5: don't know when you're gonna It'll be too late if
24:10
Speaker 5: they don't.
24:10
Speaker 3: That's right, all right, So if you agree with my
24:13
Speaker 3: selection Texas over Oklahoma, what you're gonna do is you're
24:16
Speaker 3: gonna text fact to four nine four five one. If
24:19
Speaker 3: you disagree with it you think I'm full of beans,
24:22
Speaker 3: where you're gonna go ahead and text fiction to four
24:24
Speaker 3: nine four five one. If you're right, we enter your
24:26
Speaker 3: name into a drawing at the end of the week
24:28
Speaker 3: for one thousand dollars in cash, and every time we play,
24:32
Speaker 3: you got a chance to get your name entered into
24:34
Speaker 3: that drawing. You can get it entered up to twenty
24:36
Speaker 3: times way that contest in your favor. If you're playing
24:40
Speaker 3: for just the first time, hearing this for the first time,
24:42
Speaker 3: and you've been inspired one way or the other by
24:45
Speaker 3: my selection, well you can win by just getting one
24:50
Speaker 3: game answered correctly throughout the course of our Factor Fiction week.
24:55
Speaker 3: Either way you want to get into that drawing, give
24:57
Speaker 3: yourself a shot at one thousand dollars, and if you
24:59
Speaker 3: win enough, you're gonna win ten thousand dollars from our

25:15
Speaker 3: here on this Wednesday. It's a pick them. I am
25:18
Speaker 3: just taking them to win the game. If you agree
25:20
Speaker 3: with me, text fact to four nine, four to five

Speaker 3: snocasino dot com. Bucky and I were just out there Friday,
26:07
Speaker 3: hanging out a great, great sports bar there with this
26:11
Speaker 3: amazing view. I mean, how many sports of ours can
26:15
Speaker 3: you just go out on the patio, sit by the fire,
26:17
Speaker 3: watch fourteen games at a time, and then have this
26:20
Speaker 3: gorgeous view that you can just look over at Bucky's backyard.
26:24
Speaker 3: It was amazing. Yeah, awesome, it really is.
26:29
Speaker 5: You said, we're doing today's show, postgame show, later, tomorrow's show,
26:33
Speaker 5: probably every show for the future, if my family will
26:36
Speaker 5: move out here.
26:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bucky's really locked in on this. That's pretty reckless at.
26:41
Speaker 6: Breakfast right there. Yeah it is. Yeah, you're just ready
26:43
Speaker 6: to move in home.
26:45
Speaker 3: I don't think it is when you live there.
26:49
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm pretty sure they would be.
26:52
Speaker 3: Camp Cleveland's gonna join us at eight o'clock. But it
26:54
Speaker 3: is time to get a little reckless at breakfast. And
26:56
Speaker 3: certainly I'm not gonna get reckless with any sort of
27:00
Speaker 3: bold predictions for today in game number four, but I
27:05
Speaker 3: will get reckless from this standpoint. I'm gonna make Dan
27:08
Speaker 3: Wilson's game plan for him. I believe in Bryce Miller.
27:11
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people have been a little disappointed,
27:15
Speaker 3: disappointed in him, maybe disenfranchised with the season that he
27:18
Speaker 3: has had. Most of his struggles this year, I think
27:22
Speaker 3: we're due to injuries, and I think actually he tried
27:25
Speaker 3: to fight through some stuff because he's such a team guy.
27:29
Speaker 3: I don't think he was right at the beginning of
27:31
Speaker 3: the year, but he's not been the dominant Bryce that
27:34
Speaker 3: we saw at the end of last season. But Bucky,
27:37
Speaker 3: I think it's in him. I often called him Clint Eastwood.
27:40
Speaker 3: He has this quiet swagger about him. He's not going
27:44
Speaker 3: to be overtaken by the moment, and I think he
27:46
Speaker 3: has a very good chance to go out tonight, be
27:49
Speaker 3: sensational and not let the Tigers off the mat. And
27:53
Speaker 3: maybe Bryce Miller's the player of the game and we're
27:56
Speaker 3: celebrating him and a Division Ald title here tonight. But
28:02
Speaker 3: that being said, even though I do express confidence in
28:05
Speaker 3: Bryce Miller, I'm kind of treating this game. I don't
28:09
Speaker 3: really want it to come down to a game five
28:12
Speaker 3: winner take Saul, even though it would be at home,
28:15
Speaker 3: having to face Trek Scooble for a second time, having
28:17
Speaker 3: to beat him for a second time. So I'm treating
28:21
Speaker 3: this game if I'm Dan Wilson, almost like it is
28:24
Speaker 3: a Game five, and the moment Bryce Miller gets into
28:27
Speaker 3: any trouble, I'm going to my pen. I think I've
28:30
Speaker 3: got I think I got more than three guys Greg
28:34
Speaker 3: Bell that I can count on out of that bullpen.
28:37
Speaker 3: And yeah, they're pitching a little more than what they
28:40
Speaker 3: normally do during the regular season, but this is why
28:42
Speaker 3: you pace guys during the regular season so that when
28:46
Speaker 3: they get to the postseason you can ask a little
28:48
Speaker 3: bit more of them. And I know, if it's the
28:51
Speaker 3: second inning, if it's the third inning, I'm not letting
28:54
Speaker 3: the Tigers put together too many runs at the beginning
28:58
Speaker 3: of the game off of Bryce Miller. It's gonna be
29:01
Speaker 3: a pretty short leash on him tonight. And I'm treating
29:04
Speaker 3: this like a bullpen game if I have to, because
29:07
Speaker 3: I want to finish this thing tonight.
29:10
Speaker 5: So do I want to. And I think that they're
29:12
Speaker 5: kind of riding the fact that they you know, after
29:15
Speaker 5: dropping that, after dropping one, you understand how big Game
29:20
Speaker 5: three was, and then to come back now and all
29:23
Speaker 5: of a sudden find yourself on the brink of advancing,
29:26
Speaker 5: you do not want to let him back up. I mean,
29:28
Speaker 5: because it's not the same as just well it's tied,
29:30
Speaker 5: it's just game five. It's like that they forced Game
29:33
Speaker 5: five and then they know they're gonna have Trek scoubl.
29:36
Speaker 6: It's good.
29:36
Speaker 5: It's going to be a different feel. So I'm I'm
29:39
Speaker 5: with you. I think Brice can do it. I do
29:41
Speaker 5: think when you use that Clint Eastwood analogy, I think
29:44
Speaker 5: it's perfect. I think he does have a little bit
29:46
Speaker 5: of that just kind of oh, make come on, make
29:48
Speaker 5: my day, that type of thing. I think he's got that. Uh,
29:51
Speaker 5: he's gonna have to go out and do it. But
29:53
Speaker 5: with execution, this isn't a you know, a start in
29:57
Speaker 5: mid April where it's like I'm gonna let it eat
29:59
Speaker 5: and we'll see if they hit it at people. No,
30:01
Speaker 5: you top of the pitch at top rail, found the inside.
30:04
Speaker 5: I want to do best, set things up. Make I'm
30:08
Speaker 5: not saying nibble, but I'm saying, execute good pitches, even
30:12
Speaker 5: if it means you're going deeper into counts because you're
30:14
Speaker 5: not worried about the pitch count. Like you said, I'm
30:16
Speaker 5: not worried about pitch count. I'm not necessarily worried about
30:18
Speaker 5: getting him to be the pitcher of record. If I'm
30:21
Speaker 5: if I'm Dan Wilson, I'm saying, go out there, attack
30:23
Speaker 5: these guys, but attack the corners of the zone. Be
30:25
Speaker 5: careful with where you're going with these We don't want
30:28
Speaker 5: to fall behind because yeah, I think they will pull
30:31
Speaker 5: the trigger quick and in a hurry. But if he
30:32
Speaker 5: can go out there and give you five, give up
30:35
Speaker 5: a couple. If that, I think you think you set
30:37
Speaker 5: yourself up for this offense to do what they've been doing.
30:40
Speaker 3: And it's unfortunate that Caleb Ferguson may have been the
30:43
Speaker 3: only Mariner that didn't do his job last night. But
30:46
Speaker 3: he didn't do his job last night, and it's unfortunate
30:50
Speaker 3: because he had to bring Munyose out. Otherwise you could
30:52
Speaker 3: be staring at giving him two innings tonight. They probably
30:55
Speaker 3: won't do that, but he certainly will be available. Everybody's
30:59
Speaker 3: going to be available, everybody willing and capable to go
31:02
Speaker 3: a little extra to try to close this thing out tonight.
31:06
Speaker 3: So that's how I'm treating it. If I'm Dan Wilson,
31:08
Speaker 3: I'm gonna treat this like it is the decisive game tonight,
31:12
Speaker 3: and then if it doesn't work out, I got a
31:14
Speaker 3: day off to rest everybody, and I got George Kirby
31:18
Speaker 3: on a full four days rest and ready to go
31:23
Speaker 3: for game number five at home. I've got him in
31:26
Speaker 3: a normal rotation to try to tackle Trek's schooble, and
31:30
Speaker 3: I have my bullpen there and ready obviously to treat
31:34
Speaker 3: it like a fifth and decisive game on Friday. But
31:37
Speaker 3: I want to make sure that I take care of
31:38
Speaker 3: things tonight if I can. So let's go Bryce, Let's
31:42
Speaker 3: go Ems Bucky, and I want to fly home from
31:44
Speaker 3: Detroit Thursday, not worrying about having to attend a fifth
31:49
Speaker 3: and deciding game at home on Friday.
31:51
Speaker 5: No, I mean, I'm not scared of it, but at
31:54
Speaker 5: the same time, I would prefer to not have to
31:56
Speaker 5: go through it. I think that this is the kind
31:58
Speaker 5: of the prime you know, jumping off point. This is
32:00
Speaker 5: where you go ahead and say, when you get somebody
32:03
Speaker 5: where they're backed into a corner, you finish it. You
32:06
Speaker 5: finish the job, and go out there and do it
32:08
Speaker 5: in game four. You don't have to get to Game five,
32:10
Speaker 5: even though it would probably be par on par for
32:13
Speaker 5: the Seattle Mariners. Let's have a game five, Let's beat
32:16
Speaker 5: Let's try to beat Terrek Schouler for a fourth time
32:18
Speaker 5: this year.
32:19
Speaker 3: Former baseball player Cam Cleveland is going to join us
32:23
Speaker 3: on the other side. Yeah, it's our normal Wednesday conversation
32:26
Speaker 3: with the voice of your Washington Husky, so Cam Cleveland.
