Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Here we go nine o'clock hour here on a Monday,
- 0:14Speaker 1: and normally it's a Tuesday treat that we are visited
- 0:17Speaker 1: by Ryan Healey, former Mariner and now part of Mariner's TV.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Of course, he's been with us longer, far more loyal
- 0:25Speaker 1: to us here on Chucking Buck in the morning, and
- 0:27Speaker 1: so the former Mariner out joins us here on a Monday.
- 0:31Speaker 1: You know, we gotta change things around every once in
- 0:33Speaker 1: a while, and so it's great to have you to
- 0:35Speaker 1: start the week here this week. Good to see you.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I got I gotta keep you on your on your
- 0:39Speaker 2: toes a little bit, Chuck. Yeah, so sorry, will flip
- 0:41Speaker 2: flops we Monday and Tuesday. But regardless, I'm excited to
- 0:44Speaker 2: be here and talk to Mariners baseball.
- 0:46Speaker 1: No worries, I can go with the flow. How is
- 0:48Speaker 1: Father's Day where you made to feel like the number
- 0:50Speaker 1: one father in the galaxy?
- 0:53Speaker 2: I felt special? I felt really special. Actually, I got
- 0:57Speaker 2: to show you one thing, Chuck, this was this has better.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I'm like the joke of my trip so far. So
- 1:02Speaker 2: I left late last night, so my kids are really sad,
- 1:05Speaker 2: and my daughter actually gave me one of her stuffies.
- 1:08Speaker 2: She has two of these little bunny lovies. And as
- 1:10Speaker 2: I was packing my bag, she'll get really sad whenever
- 1:13Speaker 2: I leave. But she went and grabbed one of these bunnies.
- 1:15Speaker 2: It brought it to me, and she goes, Daddy, I
- 1:16Speaker 2: want you to bring this with you so it'll keep
- 1:18Speaker 2: you safe. So I've been taking pictures at different locations,
- 1:21Speaker 2: like the airport I was outside this morning. It's a
- 1:24Speaker 2: different spots, and then I'll send them to my wife.
- 1:26Speaker 2: And my wife's response this morning was your daughter is
- 1:29Speaker 2: living for this bunny's journey right now.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Keep it up. Maybe you are. I mean I always
- 1:35Speaker 1: see people claim they're their number one dad in the
- 1:37Speaker 1: world with their you know, coffee mug that they just got.
- 1:40Speaker 1: There can only be one of those. Maybe you are
- 1:42Speaker 1: a candidate. I mean, bunny, Bunny, Bunny. This bunny episode
- 1:46Speaker 1: is really gonna shoot your stock up.
- 1:49Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna have probably twelve to fifteen pictures
- 1:52Speaker 2: by the end of it. I might put together a
- 1:53Speaker 2: little collage and share it with her. But my guess
- 1:57Speaker 2: is this is going to become a new thing anytime
- 1:59Speaker 2: I travel.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Okay, good, well, good, Yeah, don't let any of your
- 2:03Speaker 1: old teammates get a hold of it. They got worse.
- 2:06Speaker 2: They got worse on me than the bunny. Stuffy, I'll
- 2:10Speaker 2: try to trust me there.
- 2:11Speaker 1: No, I'm saying, don't let them get a hold of
- 2:13Speaker 1: the bunny. That's what I'm saying. They'll like to have
- 2:16Speaker 1: to do shotgunning beer with it or something like that.
- 2:18Speaker 1: They get the wrong fold. I'm with you there, Ryan,
- 2:23Speaker 1: Heally is with us.
- 2:23Speaker 3: All right.
- 2:24Speaker 1: We got a lot to discuss, and there are a
- 2:26Speaker 1: lot of different things that we get to get into,
- 2:28Speaker 1: some of some very frustrating, uh, some you know, exciting.
- 2:32Speaker 1: And then we have dom Canzone, which is where I
- 2:35Speaker 1: want to start, kind of a combination of the two.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Let's start with just how well he's been playing as
- 2:42Speaker 1: of late, somebody that's been trying to prove to this
- 2:45Speaker 1: organization you don't have to sit me against left handers.
- 2:48Speaker 1: And now, because of all of these injuries that they've
- 2:51Speaker 1: suffered here recently, they've kind of had to force him
- 2:54Speaker 1: into the lineup. They haven't really had a choice, and
- 2:56Speaker 1: he's kind of showing you I can do it all offensively.
- 3:01Speaker 1: What are you seeing out of dom Can zone that
- 3:04Speaker 1: has seemingly taken him to a whole new level as
- 3:07Speaker 1: a baseball player.
- 3:09Speaker 2: It just looks like he has so much conviction and
- 3:12Speaker 2: who he is as a hitter, and it takes time
- 3:15Speaker 2: at the major league level to get there. You go
- 3:17Speaker 2: through these ebbs and flows, and as fans we get
- 3:20Speaker 2: to watch a player like Cole Young go through this
- 3:22Speaker 2: where there's really good series, maybe some ones where he
- 3:25Speaker 2: gets dominated. But Dom's been around long enough where he
- 3:28Speaker 2: understands what pitchers are trying to do to him, especially
- 3:31Speaker 2: the right handed pitchers, like they're trying to beat him
- 3:34Speaker 2: up in the zone with velocity and then down on
- 3:36Speaker 2: the way and you'll get some wild swings from Dom.
- 3:38Speaker 2: But he's getting better at using the opposite field and
- 3:42Speaker 2: no better demonstrated. But then the left field home run
- 3:45Speaker 2: he hit against Toldy yesterday and that Sunday matinee his
- 3:49Speaker 2: ability to use the entire field. He actually hit a
- 3:51Speaker 2: foul ball during that weekend series as well, left on
- 3:55Speaker 2: left that just barely when foul would have been a
- 3:57Speaker 2: home run had the distance. He just looks like his
- 4:00Speaker 2: approach is so professional against whether it's a right of
- 4:03Speaker 2: or lefty, to the point where these injuries have given
- 4:06Speaker 2: Don an opportunity to face lefties more consistently and correct
- 4:10Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong here, Chuck. But I felt like
- 4:11Speaker 2: he answered the bell all week.
- 4:12Speaker 1: At Long Oh for sure, he's been our best hitter
- 4:16Speaker 1: here in the last couple of weeks. I don't care
- 4:18Speaker 1: what pitcher's on the mount. He just seems to be
- 4:20Speaker 1: having the most consistent at bats right now. And then
- 4:24Speaker 1: he leaves with an injury. So a team that's banged up,
- 4:27Speaker 1: you know, it pulls at that hammy. I mean, as
- 4:30Speaker 1: a sports viewer, I've seen this a million times. I mean,
- 4:34Speaker 1: that's never a good thing. He says he's fine afterwards.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Do you think he's fine or do you think we
- 4:39Speaker 1: have to just accept that we're going to be without
- 4:41Speaker 1: dom Can Zone for a little while.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I'm not ready to accept that we're going to be
- 4:49Speaker 2: without dom Can Zone for a little bit. But if
- 4:53Speaker 2: history does repeat itself, we're looking at the Randy rols
- 4:56Speaker 2: Orne of timeline and how that kind of unfolded. I
- 4:59Speaker 2: think we all, you know, felt like the road trip
- 5:01Speaker 2: coming home. Oh, he'll be okay, He'll be okay, and
- 5:03Speaker 2: then all of a sudden boom, there was a slurry
- 5:05Speaker 2: of roster transactions and Randy cob himself in the middle
- 5:08Speaker 2: of that. I'm gonna stay optimistic because I know how
- 5:12Speaker 2: often Dom can DH, And if the hamstring is good
- 5:15Speaker 2: enough to DH, then maybe he can put a rap
- 5:19Speaker 2: on it and keep some compression on it and maybe
- 5:21Speaker 2: grind out a little bit by keeping him off his
- 5:24Speaker 2: feet in the outfield. But with the injuries and Maritors
- 5:25Speaker 2: are battling right now, they needed him to slide into
- 5:28Speaker 2: right field to play some defense. But if they can
- 5:31Speaker 2: keep him off his feet a little bit in DH,
- 5:33Speaker 2: maybe he can battle through this a little bit.
- 5:35Speaker 1: You know, you put this uniform on. You played at
- 5:39Speaker 1: T Mobile. You faced righty's, you faced lefties. Did you
- 5:44Speaker 1: have trouble hitting left handers? Did the ball seem to
- 5:48Speaker 1: come from a place that you didn't pick up as
- 5:50Speaker 1: well when you faced left handers? Why is this team
- 5:54Speaker 1: struggling so badly? If not that, what is the reason
- 5:57Speaker 1: why they can't hit lefties?
- 6:02Speaker 2: Did you look up my stats before you ask that question?
- 6:04Speaker 1: I did not.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my I definitely had some reverse splits. I
- 6:12Speaker 2: struggle against left handed pitching as well. The obviously, the
- 6:16Speaker 2: breaking balls are so much better at the major league level.
- 6:18Speaker 2: The way that big league pitchers can throw a breaking
- 6:22Speaker 2: ball without there being like a broken dot or a
- 6:24Speaker 2: seam on there, which allows you as a hitter to
- 6:26Speaker 2: pick it up sooner. It's unbelievable, and I think the
- 6:29Speaker 2: technology that the pitchers have gives them a massive advantage.
- 6:32Speaker 2: It's just a really tough angle for the right handed hitters.
- 6:35Speaker 2: With the left handed breaking ball. The pitch that's breaking
- 6:38Speaker 2: into you, you would think would actually work better, but
- 6:42Speaker 2: for what has changed on the offensive side with the
- 6:45Speaker 2: swing path of everyone trying to get a little bit
- 6:49Speaker 2: deeper or longer with the barrel behind contact so they
- 6:51Speaker 2: can generate power and deliver it through. It's so much
- 6:55Speaker 2: harder to know where that lefty breaking ball's going to
- 6:59Speaker 2: go to. And also it's just not an angle that
- 7:01Speaker 2: you see all the time. It's tough to simulate a
- 7:04Speaker 2: right handed pitcher. If you just look at rosters across
- 7:07Speaker 2: the major leagues, it is lopsided with how many right
- 7:10Speaker 2: handed pitchers you're going to see in a roster as
- 7:12Speaker 2: a post a left handed So now it's just a nuanced,
- 7:15Speaker 2: kind of funky angle, you know, spin secondary pitches. It's
- 7:20Speaker 2: not an excuse, trust me, it's not. Because the Mariners
- 7:23Speaker 2: they saw three really good ones in a row this weekend.
- 7:26Speaker 2: We've also watched them have a lot of success against lefties.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Remember that Sacramento series a few weeks ago when they
- 7:31Speaker 2: went to Northern California and swept the A's to get
- 7:34Speaker 2: into first place. They battled some tough lefties there. They
- 7:37Speaker 2: took advantage of it. And then this weekend rolls around,
- 7:40Speaker 2: the Red Sox come in and bring, honestly, three really
- 7:43Speaker 2: good lefties into town, and Early Early came out there
- 7:47Speaker 2: and threw a tremendous game, and he was so effectively
- 7:50Speaker 2: wild right. I never felt like the Mariners that are
- 7:52Speaker 2: settled into the batter's box because the left handed hitters
- 7:56Speaker 2: are worried about that ninety five on our fastball that
- 7:58Speaker 2: was coming up at their front shoulder, and then he
- 8:00Speaker 2: snapped some nasty break the balls off of it. Like
- 8:02Speaker 2: it just never looked like guys settled in and Early
- 8:05Speaker 2: did and he threw a tremendous game. But it was
- 8:07Speaker 2: a positive sign to see this offense come around on
- 8:09Speaker 2: Sunday against Peyton Toley, who is a really good left
- 8:12Speaker 2: handed pitcher. It has the numbers to back it up,
- 8:15Speaker 2: go out there and beat him to salvage this series.
- 8:18Speaker 2: The best they could.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yeah, but dead fricking last and batting average, slugging and
- 8:23Speaker 1: ops against lefties.
- 8:24Speaker 2: This it's not great. It's not going to get this
- 8:26Speaker 2: team to where they want to go. I completely agree
- 8:28Speaker 2: with you there, and that needs to be addressed. And
- 8:31Speaker 2: it's it's disappointing to see that this has been a
- 8:33Speaker 2: big storyline this year, is that this lineup can't hit lefties.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And then I can almost guarantee you that at some
- 8:39Speaker 2: point there the organization will have to step in and
- 8:41Speaker 2: make some changes too. If this will if this trend continues.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Now, that's what I was going to ask. I mean,
- 8:47Speaker 1: how much longer do you stick with it? Does it
- 8:49Speaker 1: feel like something that has to person personnel has to change?
- 8:54Speaker 1: Do you give it a little while longer to see
- 8:56Speaker 1: if res Sneider and company? I mean, can Zone seems
- 8:59Speaker 1: to be an a right now against lefties if he
- 9:01Speaker 1: can stay healthy.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I think they're showing us right now what they're willing
- 9:06Speaker 2: to do of throwing more lefties into the left handed
- 9:08Speaker 2: starting pitcher. It's like, hey, if it's got to be
- 9:11Speaker 2: a left on left because it's our best guys, then
- 9:12Speaker 2: we're going to start making that transition. But I've always
- 9:14Speaker 2: felt like the runway was to the All Star Break
- 9:18Speaker 2: before those hard roster decisions needed to be made. And
- 9:22Speaker 2: I think some of those players know that, and I
- 9:25Speaker 2: think we'll see how the organization makes that adjustment and
- 9:29Speaker 2: when we come back for when they come back from
- 9:30Speaker 2: the All Star break.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. Former Mariner Ryan Heae with
- 9:33Speaker 1: us of course on Mariner's TV this year and our
- 9:35Speaker 1: guest usually Tuesdays at nine, but joining us here on
- 9:38Speaker 1: a Monday at nine today to talk a little Mariner baseball.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I want to talk about a left handed hitter, but
- 9:44Speaker 1: not his hitting. Josh Naylor. You've played first base last
- 9:48Speaker 1: year he was so slick over there, and then this
- 9:50Speaker 1: year we just keep seeing mistake after a mistake after
- 9:53Speaker 1: a mistake. What do you think is the problem The
- 9:57Speaker 1: issue with Josh Naylor the defensive player.
- 10:02Speaker 2: My opinion is he's overly aggressive to baseballs. I think
- 10:06Speaker 2: there there needs to be better communication between Josh and
- 10:10Speaker 2: Cole Young. We all know how great Cole Young has
- 10:13Speaker 2: been defensive this year. I think it's time for Josh
- 10:16Speaker 2: to recognize that and maybe give Cole a little bit longer.
- 10:21Speaker 2: You know of a radius that he's covering over in
- 10:24Speaker 2: second base, I think going I think Josh has a
- 10:27Speaker 2: hard time going to his glove side, so for him,
- 10:29Speaker 2: that's his that's his right hand side going in that
- 10:31Speaker 2: three to four hole. I think there's mistakes that have
- 10:33Speaker 2: happened there. Obviously, throw to second base like that's got
- 10:36Speaker 2: to be more consistent. He doesn't have the best arm
- 10:38Speaker 2: in the league. This is a player though, that's you know,
- 10:41Speaker 2: kind of seeing a little bit of right feet, a
- 10:43Speaker 2: little bit of first base, and his call first base
- 10:46Speaker 2: home for a while and came to Seattle last year
- 10:48Speaker 2: and played lights out first base, so we all know
- 10:51Speaker 2: he's capable of doing it. What I'm trying to figure
- 10:54Speaker 2: out is was some of this a result of the
- 10:57Speaker 2: team not playing great collectively and then Josh not playing
- 11:00Speaker 2: great offensively to start the season. Was he trying to
- 11:03Speaker 2: find different ways to impact the team because I know
- 11:06Speaker 2: how much he cares and how in it he is.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Was he trying to do too much and he felt
- 11:10Speaker 2: like maybe defense was a place he could do it.
- 11:13Speaker 2: And now there are some bad habits that have been
- 11:15Speaker 2: you know, accumulated throughout the course of the season, and
- 11:18Speaker 2: now he's trying to reel on it. But there's a
- 11:20Speaker 2: lot of plays where I watch him over there where
- 11:22Speaker 2: he looks uncomfortable and uneasy. And I know for a
- 11:25Speaker 2: fact that defensive slumps can happen just like offensive ones can.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it looks like he's just trying. He's
- 11:31Speaker 1: trying to make the position look sexier than it is,
- 11:34Speaker 1: Like like just he already looks.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Like sexy, like you got you got the cleats on.
- 11:39Speaker 2: I've always felt like, I don't know if he ever
- 11:41Speaker 2: wore a horror pair of like Jordan the Levens or
- 11:43Speaker 2: Jordan Fo's, like all the cleats that he wears. I
- 11:46Speaker 2: love the shoes. They're tremendous, but they're not the most
- 11:49Speaker 2: agile shoe, Like you don't like they're heavy, they're clunky,
- 11:53Speaker 2: And I felt like that early on. And if he
- 11:56Speaker 2: hears me say that, he might fight me. Honestly, because
- 11:58Speaker 2: I know how much he loves his shoe.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Brought me no.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Disrespect to the swag, but I also know like some
- 12:03Speaker 2: of those shoes are a little heavy and can weigh
- 12:05Speaker 2: you down, and like that can that can pile up.
- 12:08Speaker 1: A little bit. I sure hope that's not the cause
- 12:12Speaker 1: r Ryan Heally is with us. Cal's not getting the
- 12:15Speaker 1: results since he come off. He's come off the injury list,
- 12:18Speaker 1: still hasn't ait a home run, batting average still a
- 12:20Speaker 1: one sixty two. But are you seeing an improved approach
- 12:25Speaker 1: from Cal since he came off the injury list?
- 12:28Speaker 2: Certainly more importantly, it looks like teams are pitching around
- 12:32Speaker 2: him right Have you noticed that a whole lot of
- 12:35Speaker 2: not a whole lot of attacking the strike zone with
- 12:38Speaker 2: Cal Rawley right now? So, which which tells me that
- 12:40Speaker 2: the advanced scouting repartment departments of these opposing teams we're
- 12:44Speaker 2: watching call on his rehab rehab assignment. So went, oh,
- 12:47Speaker 2: that guy looks locked in. Let's not let him beat
- 12:49Speaker 2: us this weekend. That's what it looked like to me.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Cal also hit a ball, I think it was the
- 12:54Speaker 2: first or second game back where he flew out to
- 12:57Speaker 2: right field deep where it's like, oh, he just missed that,
- 13:00Speaker 2: and he got robbed, I believe on a home run
- 13:02Speaker 2: as well. Obviously, he's had a lot of opportunities to
- 13:05Speaker 2: hit from the right hand side of the plate this
- 13:07Speaker 2: past weekend, which I think is really good for him.
- 13:09Speaker 2: He looks way more comfortable. The approach looks like the
- 13:13Speaker 2: normal col. So for me, if you think about the
- 13:16Speaker 2: you know, the chronological order of how this starts to click,
- 13:19Speaker 2: his approach is locked in, he's swinging to his pitches.
- 13:22Speaker 2: The power is going to show up, and when it
- 13:23Speaker 2: shows up for a guy like Cal, it shows up
- 13:25Speaker 2: in bunches.
- 13:26Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some pitching in our last few
- 13:29Speaker 1: minutes here with Ryan Healy. Logan, Gilbert seems to be
- 13:33Speaker 1: locked back in, and he was even looking that way
- 13:37Speaker 1: before Cal came back. But I'm not sure it's a
- 13:39Speaker 1: coincidence that he's looked his best the last two starts
- 13:43Speaker 1: with Cal back behind the plate. So just your assessment
- 13:47Speaker 1: is that that look like a fun at bat to
- 13:49Speaker 1: you right now?
- 13:50Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert Logan, Gilbert, I've ben I haven't seen that
- 13:55Speaker 2: name in a few weeks. There's a guy named Walter
- 13:57Speaker 2: that I keep watching pitch that's real, nas, Yeah, that guy.
- 14:00Speaker 2: He's throwing ninety eight mile an hour power fastballs. By you,
- 14:04Speaker 2: I mean his ability, like the velocity was up ticking
- 14:07Speaker 2: towards the end of May. When I was up there,
- 14:10Speaker 2: Goldie and I were actually talking about that of how
- 14:12Speaker 2: many pitches at ninety seven ninety eight he was throwing
- 14:15Speaker 2: per outing compared to earlier in the month of May
- 14:17Speaker 2: in the end of April, so something feels really good
- 14:20Speaker 2: with his sequence. And I do remember there was a
- 14:23Speaker 2: there was like a dry bullpen where he was actually working.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Logan Ger was working with Jose Ferrer in the bullpen.
- 14:29Speaker 2: They were working on the move down the mound, and
- 14:31Speaker 2: Farrer was literally holding Logan's front hip as he was
- 14:35Speaker 2: coming down the mound, trying to get a little bit
- 14:37Speaker 2: more torque and coil. I want to give all the
- 14:39Speaker 2: credit to Jose Ferrer, because I don't think anyone has yet.
- 14:42Speaker 2: I remember watching that though, and just thinking, wow, like
- 14:45Speaker 2: this is so cool, Like these are two big leaguers
- 14:47Speaker 2: just talking ball, trying to find that extra little one
- 14:50Speaker 2: percent together. But Logan looks so comfortable and confident attacking
- 14:55Speaker 2: his aunt to fastballs that it always makes his secondary
- 14:58Speaker 2: pitches play up, and I think he's finally that'll been on.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Does the changeups day? Is the cutter actually effective?
- 15:04Speaker 1: You know what?
- 15:04Speaker 2: I got a really nasty splitter. I'm just gonna throw
- 15:06Speaker 2: this thing with ninety eight and then I'll mix in
- 15:08Speaker 2: some breaking balls off of it. I think Cal brings
- 15:10Speaker 2: that extra level of conviction for him being behind the
- 15:13Speaker 2: play as well.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Well. A rough PR day for the piggyback on Friday.
- 15:17Speaker 1: That's that's like the worst scenario. I mean, you don't
- 15:19Speaker 1: know how game's going to unfold, but you know this
- 15:22Speaker 1: this experimentation that's gone on, that's the worst case scenario.
- 15:26Speaker 1: That the starter looks like he's got plenty of juice left,
- 15:30Speaker 1: he looks great, but you've already committed beforehand to taking
- 15:34Speaker 1: him out after the fifth inning, and then the reliever
- 15:36Speaker 1: doesn't quite have it that day. So obviously the anti
- 15:42Speaker 1: piggyback people had their day. They turned it into a weekend.
- 15:46Speaker 1: They're still very angry about it. Here on this Monday,
- 15:50Speaker 1: where's Ryan Healey with the entire experiment here on this
- 15:54Speaker 1: Monday morning.
- 15:57Speaker 2: I tried to remove my brain wandering too far into possibility.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Is just because Jerry Depoto and Justin Holland have been
- 16:04Speaker 2: so cut and dry of this is not a move
- 16:07Speaker 2: that we're willing to make of moving one of the
- 16:09Speaker 2: starters of the bullpen like they want to keep every
- 16:12Speaker 2: starter stretched out. And I understand why. I get that.
- 16:16Speaker 2: It's frustrating what it doesn't work, and it's frustrating when
- 16:19Speaker 2: the offense doesn't do their job, because unfortunately, the easy
- 16:24Speaker 2: target has been the piggyback acronym or phrase so far
- 16:28Speaker 2: this season, and anytime the Mariners don't win a game
- 16:31Speaker 2: and they have the piggyback, the whole city just erupts. Oh,
- 16:35Speaker 2: it's a it's a storm. Anywhere you look on social media,
- 16:38Speaker 2: and if you walk around, you go to the local Starbucks,
- 16:41Speaker 2: don't you say the word piggyback is a brawl might
- 16:44Speaker 2: breakout at this point. It's I'm interested to see how
- 16:48Speaker 2: the evolution of it functions over the last few weeks
- 16:51Speaker 2: because we've been so used to seeing, you know, Bryce Miller,
- 16:53Speaker 2: Lewis Castillo attached to that piggyback, but it's going to
- 16:56Speaker 2: branch off to every starter in this staff. So I
- 17:00Speaker 2: hope that maybe there's some variety that is presented, maybe
- 17:05Speaker 2: some adjustments that are made as the coaching staff is
- 17:07Speaker 2: getting more familiar with this, because it doesn't look like
- 17:09Speaker 2: it's going anywhere for the immediate future. How they manage
- 17:13Speaker 2: a game to game no matters. But what I'm going
- 17:15Speaker 2: to lean on here, Chuck, is that when the offense
- 17:17Speaker 2: doesn't get hits, when the offense doesn't score runs. It
- 17:20Speaker 2: doesn't matter who's pitching on the mound. The Maritors fans
- 17:23Speaker 2: have seen this for King Felix for a whole lot
- 17:24Speaker 2: of years. A tremendous pitcher winning Cy Young's with no
- 17:27Speaker 2: run support is great, but doesn't win the World Series.
- 17:31Speaker 2: How does this team get more consistent with the components
- 17:33Speaker 2: and the ingredients that actually lead to that playoff birth
- 17:36Speaker 2: in the World Series.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking forward to the photo of Bunny when
- 17:40Speaker 1: she went on the Chuck and Buck radio show and
- 17:42Speaker 1: hung out with Uncle Chuck. So I'm expecting that post
- 17:45Speaker 1: to be made here pretty soon. Right right right, he's
- 17:49Speaker 1: taking the photo.
- 17:52Speaker 2: There we go, the Bundy made into the radio man, Bunny.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Mar all right, man, awesome stuff. Have a great week,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and well we'll talk to you again next week.
- 18:06Speaker 2: You two guys, go Mariners.
- 18:08Speaker 1: All right. Ryan e joining us right here on Chuck
- 18:10Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning. Jason Bottrel's gonna join us next.
- 18:13Speaker 1: He had a busy father's day and it had nothing
- 18:16Speaker 1: to do with his children. Sports Radio ninety three point
- 18:18Speaker 1: three kJ r F M. Hey, great Monday morning to you.
- 18:40Speaker 1: It is Chuck and Ashley with you. Gonna be a
- 18:43Speaker 1: warm day, but another sunshiny day. It's looking like as
- 18:45Speaker 1: far as I can tell. And yesterday, of course, Happy
- 18:50Speaker 1: Father's Day to everyone Yesterday. Some fathers have a beer.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Some I'll have a bourbon on Father's Day someday, you no,
- 18:59Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm around the kids. I'll have
- 19:01Speaker 1: a lemonade. Our next guest, apparently, on Father's Day, makes trades,
- 19:06Speaker 1: big significant trades and re signs players. That's how he
- 19:10Speaker 1: spends his Father's Day. Mom, Dad won't throw the ball
- 19:14Speaker 1: back to me. He's busy making trades again. That's how
- 19:18Speaker 1: Jason Bochrel spent his Father's Day, and he joins us
- 19:21Speaker 1: now here on the radio program. Hello, sir, how are
- 19:24Speaker 1: you very good? Guys?
- 19:26Speaker 3: Thank you very much for having me on.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Is that about it? You see you just spent your
- 19:29Speaker 1: whole day on the phone yesterday.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Yeah, we've been on the phone quite a bit the
- 19:34Speaker 3: last few days. But went to the Mariners game Saturday night.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Was think about maybe going to the Mariners game on Sunday,
- 19:40Speaker 3: but that didn't materialize the stuff. So I'm coming together
- 19:43Speaker 3: happy about the acquisitions.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Yesterday yesterday for sure. All right, Well, I want to
- 19:47Speaker 1: talk about the thing that at least came across our timeline. Second,
- 19:51Speaker 1: maybe it happened earlier in the day. I don't know,
- 19:53Speaker 1: But the extension decision with Bobby McMahon, how big of
- 19:58Speaker 1: a priority I mean number one? Was it the top
- 20:01Speaker 1: priority this offseason?
- 20:04Speaker 3: This was well of our returning players, Yes it was.
- 20:06Speaker 3: You know, Bobby came in at the trade deadline, had
- 20:09Speaker 3: a huge impact on our team right off the bat.
- 20:12Speaker 3: He saw his size, his speed, his shot just fit
- 20:15Speaker 3: really well into lane system here and you know, it
- 20:18Speaker 3: was fun watching things as things progressed here. We obviously
- 20:21Speaker 3: told Bobby we had a lot of interest in bringing
- 20:23Speaker 3: him back. I think after the season he really got
- 20:26Speaker 3: to know Seattle on the Pacific Northwest, hiking, did a
- 20:31Speaker 3: little swimming, even in the celt Lake Union, which was
- 20:34Speaker 3: a little chilly, I think for sure, golf like, he.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Got to know the area really well.
- 20:39Speaker 3: And you know, we continued to talk both Lane and
- 20:42Speaker 3: myself through this entire process with him and ecstatic to
- 20:45Speaker 3: have him on board and great that Bobby made the
- 20:48Speaker 3: decision to be out in Pacific Northwest for the next
- 20:50Speaker 3: six years right now. Now.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he didn't do a lot of winning when he
- 20:53Speaker 1: was in that cracking uniform, but he did a lot
- 20:55Speaker 1: of scoring. So what does this say about the strength
- 20:58Speaker 1: of the organization and that a player can come here
- 21:02Speaker 1: for here for a short period of time, not really
- 21:04Speaker 1: win a lot, and yet this is where he wants
- 21:07Speaker 1: to be.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Well, I think it's just how we treat people off
- 21:10Speaker 3: the off the ice here. You know what facility, the
- 21:13Speaker 3: facilities we have here, you know, strength and performance staff.
- 21:17Speaker 3: You know, Bobby is a guy that really impressed Es.
- 21:19Speaker 3: These are the things that we didn't know about him
- 21:21Speaker 3: or you know, you know, you see it firsthand, just
- 21:24Speaker 3: his dedication to his craft, whether it's in the weight
- 21:27Speaker 3: room or it's preparing for practice or working on his
- 21:30Speaker 3: game in practice. And I think he actually enjoyed he
- 21:34Speaker 3: saw some of the young talent we have, certainly later
- 21:37Speaker 3: on the season two with some of these guys that
- 21:38Speaker 3: we called up from Coachella Valley to he saw the
- 21:41Speaker 3: young talent coming through here, accept a little bit of
- 21:44Speaker 3: a more of a leadership role. That got him excited
- 21:46Speaker 3: moving forward here too. So no, these are the things
- 21:48Speaker 3: that we talked about just how we would utilize him.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Lane spoke extensively with him on just you know, trying
- 21:55Speaker 3: to maximize Bobby as a hockey player, but then also
- 21:58Speaker 3: selling him just on our vision here with our young players.
- 22:01Speaker 3: You look at, obviously with the trade with Mackie Semaskevitch yesterday,
- 22:05Speaker 3: young players like Berkeley Catton, Sister Molguard, Ryan Winterton, like,
- 22:10Speaker 3: we have a lot of young Fords coming in the mix,
- 22:12Speaker 3: and those that's what got Bobby excited about signing up
- 22:15Speaker 3: with us.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Moving forward here, Jason Botral is with us here general
- 22:19Speaker 1: manager for the Seattle Crack and a busy Sunday for him.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Not only does he extend Bobby McMahon to a six
- 22:25Speaker 1: year contract, also made a trade. You heard him mention
- 22:29Speaker 1: the name Mackie Samus Skevitch over from the Florida Panthers.
- 22:32Speaker 1: So this is just blank canvas for a lot of
- 22:34Speaker 1: US Crack and fans tell us about Samu Skavitch, give
- 22:37Speaker 1: us the scouting report.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Well, at the end of the day, you know, you
- 22:41Speaker 3: look at what we've tried to bring into this organization,
- 22:43Speaker 3: whether it's Chandler Stevenson, Vince Dunn, Brandon Monter. You're trying
- 22:46Speaker 3: to bring in players who have won Stanley Cups. We're
- 22:49Speaker 3: also been trying to bring in younger players into our mix,
- 22:51Speaker 3: right we you know, players who are in and around
- 22:54Speaker 3: that's their twenty to twenty five year old age category,
- 22:57Speaker 3: and Mackie we have both. We have a young player
- 22:59Speaker 3: who has won a Stanley Cup, you know, similar to
- 23:03Speaker 3: you know, fits in that same age category of age
- 23:06Speaker 3: twenty three, played with Matty Benier's at the University of Michigan.
- 23:10Speaker 3: You know, some of the things that we just talked
- 23:11Speaker 3: to you about Bobby McMahon and the things that we
- 23:14Speaker 3: really liked about Bobby's game, Macki has the same attributes.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Great speed, gets it on the ford check, has a
- 23:20Speaker 3: great release. We believe, you know, he can be a
- 23:24Speaker 3: score in our system moving forward. Obviously playing on a
- 23:27Speaker 3: very talented Florida team, think he'll get more of an
- 23:29Speaker 3: opportunity here, and I was very excited to bring him
- 23:32Speaker 3: into our mix.
- 23:33Speaker 1: You know, last year I heard from Lane Lambert a
- 23:36Speaker 1: little frustration that we're not getting enough shots on goal
- 23:41Speaker 1: near goal, just not being aggressive enough with our with
- 23:43Speaker 1: our shooting. McMahon seems to satisfy that last season. I'm
- 23:48Speaker 1: hearing that maybe Samuskevitch is the same way. Is this
- 23:52Speaker 1: something that we can arrive at a conclusion that you're
- 23:56Speaker 1: trying to find guys that are answering the bell that
- 24:01Speaker 1: that Lambert was ringing last year. One percent.
- 24:05Speaker 3: I think both of these players have a shooter mentality
- 24:08Speaker 3: and we.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Love to see that.
- 24:09Speaker 3: It's also what gets us excited about Yanni Newman, who's
- 24:12Speaker 3: played some games with our organization up in Seattle here
- 24:15Speaker 3: too excited about his future again another shooter. We think
- 24:19Speaker 3: we continue can continue to develop these playmakers that are
- 24:23Speaker 3: in our centers in Veneer's and Berkeley Catton and Chandler
- 24:26Speaker 3: Stevenson here. Finding guys who want to Hey, their first
- 24:29Speaker 3: thought is get pucks the net. That's what we're looking for,
- 24:31Speaker 3: and both of these players, Mackie and Bobby can certainly
- 24:34Speaker 3: do that.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Now, you guys have had quite a public announcement declaration
- 24:40Speaker 1: that you were gonna not You're gonna turn over every
- 24:42Speaker 1: stone try to figure out why this organization is is
- 24:46Speaker 1: not having more success. So what was the overall conclusion
- 24:51Speaker 1: that you drew from it.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Well, it's an ongoing process obviously with Sportsology Mike Ford,
- 24:58Speaker 3: who runs their organization, and it's been actually a really
- 25:02Speaker 3: good process from us, you know, it's been enjoyable working
- 25:05Speaker 3: with him, evaluating you know, each one of our departments
- 25:10Speaker 3: going through it, not only evaluating what we've done over
- 25:13Speaker 3: the first five years as an organization, but also here
- 25:16Speaker 3: you look at Sportsology, what they've done with different organizations
- 25:20Speaker 3: and NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball, just certain ideas on
- 25:24Speaker 3: how we can communicate better, how we can organize things
- 25:27Speaker 3: better as our organization continues to grow. So no, I've
- 25:31Speaker 3: certainly enjoyed working with Mike a lot. You know, we're
- 25:34Speaker 3: going to continue to sort of work with him from
- 25:37Speaker 3: a consultant basis to actually implement some of these things
- 25:40Speaker 3: as we move forward.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Here.
- 25:40Speaker 3: They certainly gave us the information. I know our business
- 25:43Speaker 3: side is going to roll some of the stuff out
- 25:45Speaker 3: to our season ticket holders in the near future. But overall,
- 25:48Speaker 3: it's been a great process just to have a reflection on, hey,
- 25:52Speaker 3: what are we doing well, but where are the areas
- 25:54Speaker 3: that we can really improve on.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Is Sunday the biggest splash of this offseason or is
- 25:58Speaker 1: it just an indication and of more to come.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Well, look, I think it's just something that we will
- 26:05Speaker 3: continue to continue to look at things. Obviously excited about
- 26:08Speaker 3: the two editions there and Bobby and Mackie. You know,
- 26:11Speaker 3: this is an interesting week. This is there's gonna be
- 26:13Speaker 3: a lot of discussions going on leading into the draft here.
- 26:16Speaker 3: I think you look at free agency, there's just not
- 26:19Speaker 3: the depth of top end players in this year's class,
- 26:24Speaker 3: So you know, the way we look at things. Will
- 26:26Speaker 3: certainly continue to discuss and talk to different free agents
- 26:29Speaker 3: out there, but you know, I think the bigger opportunity
- 26:33Speaker 3: to really improve your team is going to come through
- 26:37Speaker 3: the trade market here, So that's what we'll continue to
- 26:39Speaker 3: look at, and you know will be a fun week
- 26:41Speaker 3: just with trade discussions, preparations for the draft, so looking
- 26:45Speaker 3: forward to it.
- 26:45Speaker 1: For sure. Is the seventh big in the draft and
- 26:48Speaker 1: which you still have. You gave away the twenty fifth
- 26:50Speaker 1: to get Samuskevitch, but you still have the seventh. Is
- 26:53Speaker 1: it available? I mean, are you willing to move it
- 26:56Speaker 1: for the right deal?
- 26:58Speaker 3: We have Tobviously you look at all opportunities and stuff.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Now we put a value on that pick for sure.
- 27:03Speaker 3: If you look at the draft this year, you know,
- 27:06Speaker 3: we think there's anywhere and that's sort of top ten.
- 27:10Speaker 3: You're getting a top four defenseman or a top six
- 27:13Speaker 3: forward for sure, right and that's a that's a huge
- 27:15Speaker 3: attribute to bring into your organization. So we certainly put
- 27:18Speaker 3: value on picking there. Our scouts have done a great
- 27:21Speaker 3: job and being ready for so many different scenarios at
- 27:24Speaker 3: number seven. But yeah, we certainly have talked to other
- 27:26Speaker 3: teams about moving that pick if the right trade is there.
- 27:29Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. You fired up for the draft?
- 27:32Speaker 1: What's a GM? I mean the GM A GM with
- 27:35Speaker 1: the draft, My goodness, I mean, this has got this
- 27:37Speaker 1: has got to be your Christmas right.
- 27:40Speaker 3: No, it's an exciting time, especially just you know, we're
- 27:42Speaker 3: having all our scouts come in this week too and
- 27:44Speaker 3: into Seattle, like they've spent so much time throughout the
- 27:47Speaker 3: year working on different things, and obviously there's a focus
- 27:50Speaker 3: on the top of the draft, but you know, there's
- 27:52Speaker 3: just this passionate about players in the fifth, sixth, seventh round.
- 27:54Speaker 1: And stuff too.
- 27:55Speaker 3: So it's a fun a fun week for our organization
- 27:57Speaker 3: without a doubt.
- 27:58Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you, Sarah, We appreciate your time
- 28:00Speaker 1: this morning, and we'll chat again soon. That's good. Apret date.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Jason Botchrell joining us right here, General manager of the
- 28:09Speaker 1: Seattle Crack and again very aggressive Sunday. Bobby McMahon a
- 28:13Speaker 1: Kraken for the next six years or so, it seems,
- 28:16Speaker 1: signed yesterday to a six year, thirty four and a
- 28:18Speaker 1: half million dollar deal, and Maki Samuskevitch acquired from the
- 28:23Speaker 1: Florida Panthers. That's the first round pick, not their own
- 28:27Speaker 1: one that they had acquired in a in a previous
- 28:29Speaker 1: deal twenty fifth overall, and then a second round selection
- 28:33Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven to add the twenty three year
- 28:37Speaker 1: old Florida former Florida Panther. So they have added to
- 28:40Speaker 1: their depth at the forward positions obviously, and and I
- 28:44Speaker 1: think it's very noteworthy they have added two very aggressive
- 28:50Speaker 1: shooters of the puck, which seemed to be a source
- 28:53Speaker 1: of frustration in Lane Lambert's first season with the Krack
- 28:56Speaker 1: And he couldn't even get his guys to shoot the
- 28:59Speaker 1: ball more. Shoot the ball, shoot the puck at the
- 29:02Speaker 1: net more frequently, you know. I mean, it's not just
- 29:05Speaker 1: about getting that perfect look. Sometimes you just got to
- 29:08Speaker 1: put the puck on net. You see it all the time,
- 29:11Speaker 1: goes off of skate, goes off a kneecap, goes off
- 29:13Speaker 1: an eyebrow. You never know, Yeah, the deflection that could
- 29:18Speaker 1: result in a goal, and so he wants to see
- 29:21Speaker 1: more of that. You certainly saw it from Bobby McMahon
- 29:24Speaker 1: at the end of last season, and apparently Samuskevitch is
- 29:27Speaker 1: in that same mold. So Jason botchrall making it very
- 29:31Speaker 1: clear that this is a byproduct of that frustration. These
- 29:35Speaker 1: two guys, one staying here and the other one coming
- 29:40Speaker 1: here from Florida. So good stuff and the drafts coming
- 29:44Speaker 1: up later on this week. Coming up next, we close
- 29:47Speaker 1: out our show with one last thing, Sports Radio ninety
- 29:50Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. All right, final segment of this
- 30:02Speaker 1: Monday edition of Chuck and Buck in the Morning. Man,
- 30:04Speaker 1: it was packed, man, Yeah, we were busy. We were
- 30:08Speaker 1: really busy. We good show. Good job, I'd agree, good job,
- 30:14Speaker 1: good hustle everyone. And when I say everyone, Ashley wait
- 30:18Speaker 1: to go team, Hey, everybody on the floor a shop today.
- 30:23Speaker 1: We wait to bring it together. And when I say everyone,
- 30:26Speaker 1: I mean Ashley.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Hey, you know what, somebody's got to do some stuff.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Hey, crew, wait to step up today. Good job, everybody.
- 30:35Speaker 1: And when I say crew, I mean Ashley, Hey.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Really great job, guys.
- 30:40Speaker 1: You all put in a lot of effort. And when
- 30:42Speaker 1: I say everybody, I mean, Chuck, all right, we've got
- 30:48Speaker 1: one last thing to close it out with. What do
- 30:50Speaker 1: you want to do? Okay?
- 30:51Speaker 4: There were a couple of feel good moments I had
- 30:53Speaker 4: to talk. Okay, so yes, the game on the games
- 30:57Speaker 4: on Friday and Saturday for the Mariners, but tip of
- 31:02Speaker 4: the hat not just from Josh Naylor, but also from
- 31:04Speaker 4: me to JP and his.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Defense at third base Saturday.
- 31:08Speaker 4: I was pleasantly surprised. It looks fine he did, yeah,
- 31:12Speaker 4: and I thought that was great. Also, you do not
- 31:14Speaker 4: have to be a soccer fan to have enjoyed the
- 31:18Speaker 4: national anthems before the game on Friday, the flyover, that
- 31:22Speaker 4: was really cool. I felt like an overwhelming sense of
- 31:25Speaker 4: pride over something I have nothing to do with, but
- 31:27Speaker 4: just like being from Seattle.
- 31:30Speaker 1: It was awesome.
- 31:31Speaker 4: And then afterwards the entire crowd singing Country Roads take
- 31:36Speaker 4: Me Home at the top of their lungs, and the
- 31:38Speaker 4: national team is just, you know, singing along. Christian Poliitic
- 31:41Speaker 4: is like singing along with them. And then Pochettino, how
- 31:47Speaker 4: do you spell it? Sa Pochettino, I think I don't know.
- 31:52Speaker 4: He was talking about how afterwards it made him emotional
- 31:55Speaker 4: because the crowd was so into it. He's like, I'm
- 31:57Speaker 4: not even American, but this was an emotional win. The
- 31:59Speaker 4: crowd it was so into it. I don't know how
- 32:01Speaker 4: you couldn't be emotional about it.
- 32:03Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Just all was very cool.
- 32:05Speaker 1: It was all very cool. And again, I don't like soccer,
- 32:10Speaker 1: and Friday didn't make me like soccer. Yeah, okay, so
- 32:14Speaker 1: I haven't moved. The needle has not moved from that standpoint,
- 32:18Speaker 1: But in terms of getting to see so many soccer
- 32:21Speaker 1: fans just relish the day at the moment. To have
- 32:25Speaker 1: such a great d Day for Seattle, Yeah, I mean,
- 32:28Speaker 1: because man, did they There wasn't a I mean there.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I'm sure there were some negative stuff out there, but
- 32:34Speaker 1: rarely do you see on social media overwhelming positive stuff
- 32:39Speaker 1: about anything, And for there to have been that much
- 32:42Speaker 1: positivity and all the experts couldn't say enough about it,
- 32:46Speaker 1: and it was just perfectly and beautifully executed, and then,
- 32:51Speaker 1: let's face it, it was a great day for America
- 32:54Speaker 1: and it's been a long time since we've had kind
- 32:58Speaker 1: of that.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Had that much positive where so many people are feeling positive.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Foreigners are foreigners or tourists, I should say, are you
- 33:11Speaker 1: know tweeting out this place is awesome exactly Ausy's. They're like,
- 33:16Speaker 1: we're having the time of our lives here.
- 33:19Speaker 4: And apparently a lot of the foreigners are really excited.
- 33:21Speaker 4: They discovered ranch dressing. That's like a big deal. I
- 33:24Speaker 4: kept seeing that, not just here, but like everywhere in
- 33:26Speaker 4: the US. They're all like they can't get enough ranch dressing.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Well, I'm sitting there at Jimmy's and there was an
- 33:34Speaker 1: Ozzy sitting next to me the entire show. And they
- 33:38Speaker 1: didn't open the bar until eight. Okay, okay, well we
- 33:43Speaker 1: were I didn't get my head sets off to even
- 33:46Speaker 1: say anything to him until nine, and he already had
- 33:50Speaker 1: five empty Rainiers, Oh my god on the table. Good
- 33:55Speaker 1: for him. And I said, how are you liking our beer?
- 33:58Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, yeah, so they even than eleven
- 34:04Speaker 1: and it was rainy Ears. I mean, which solid, solid beer,
- 34:07Speaker 1: but that's not exactly you know, we're known kind of
- 34:10Speaker 1: for the craft beer, right right. But he's just loving
- 34:12Speaker 1: he can't get enough of it. And then he said, yeah,
- 34:14Speaker 1: I'm waiting for my buddies to get here so I
- 34:16Speaker 1: can start drinking. No, it's just a warm up.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Well that's why when you ask stretch, take three Aussies,
- 34:23Speaker 4: three US folks, who's drinking more?
- 34:26Speaker 1: And he was like, didn't even hesitate. Australia's drinking him
- 34:29Speaker 1: under the for sure. And yet I'm going to use
- 34:31Speaker 1: this my one last thing. I'm going to change up
- 34:32Speaker 1: what I was going to do now that we're here.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I think in my lifetime this registers is one of
- 34:42Speaker 1: the ten most I cannot even believe what I'm hearing
- 34:46Speaker 1: stories of my entire life. I don't know where it ranks.
- 34:48Speaker 1: It might be sixth, might be seventh, maybe it's third,
- 34:51Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to be a prisoner
- 34:53Speaker 1: of the moment. For Scotland tourists too, have drank Boston,
- 35:02Speaker 1: Massachusetts dry in twenty four hours is one of the
- 35:06Speaker 1: most unbelievable things I have ever heard.
- 35:10Speaker 4: I don't think I would be more proud to be
- 35:12Speaker 4: Scottish than hearing that, Like Scotland could win the World
- 35:15Speaker 4: Cup and they'd be like, yeah, that was great, but
- 35:17Speaker 4: did you hear what we did in Boston.
- 35:19Speaker 1: I might argue that Boston might be our number one
- 35:23Speaker 1: city in terms of its drinking reputation. Yeah, major city.
- 35:28Speaker 1: I realized there's some college towns that would probably per
- 35:31Speaker 1: capita take that crown. But in terms of a major
- 35:35Speaker 1: metropolitan area like Boston, Boston doesn't f around. That's right
- 35:41Speaker 1: when it comes to Boston does. And for Scotland to
- 35:44Speaker 1: roll into there, and you know that only a third
- 35:48Speaker 1: of the arena were Scot's so it's not like they
- 35:51Speaker 1: brought a million people. But for Scotland to roll over
- 35:54Speaker 1: here with about fifteen thousand people probably and drink Boston
- 36:00Speaker 1: dry stands as one of the ten most unbelievable things
- 36:04Speaker 1: I've ever heard. And again, they should be very proud
- 36:07Speaker 1: of themselves, should they. Yes, if they were are still alive,
- 36:13Speaker 1: it's amusing. I don't know if it's a point of pride.
- 36:17Speaker 1: It is highly amusing Stoughts, it's definitely a point of pride. Well,
- 36:23Speaker 1: that's just it. I don't know if they were trying
- 36:25Speaker 1: to do it, it was just their natural No. I
- 36:28Speaker 1: think it was just like yeah.
- 36:30Speaker 4: But to be like, oh, well we okay, we did
- 36:32Speaker 4: that all right. We weren't even that wasn't even effort yet.
- 36:35Speaker 4: We were just it was a Tuesday exactly.
- 36:37Speaker 1: We didn't make that a goal. But now that we
- 36:39Speaker 1: know that that can be done, We're gonna do it
- 36:41Speaker 1: in every city we go. Cities next, that's unreal. All right,
