  Speaker 2: were back in the.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Studio today and even though we're at Seahawks camp, I'm
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: gonna tell you right now, I'm going to talk pretty
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: much about but baseball today.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know how he couldn't.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I realized that the football field in front of me,
• 1:08

• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and the Greg Bells and the Emmanuel Wilson's that are
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: gonna come on the show today. Yes, yes, I get it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: It's all a gravitational pull for me to talk about football.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: We even have a preseason game later on this week
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: to get it all started. But I'm pretty much a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: thousand percent baseball right now, Ashley.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I am the same way. I think
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I was dreaming about baseball last night.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Did you make a trade?
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't, but I was very I think I was
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: refreshing Twitter a lot.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there was a lot of that going on yesterday.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So yes, I don't know if you got you got
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: up in the mood to make trades today or like, hey, no,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: did I give you a bagel?
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Here?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Palmer the Great?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: But what if I traded you some frosted flakes for
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: your bagel?
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, and I would absolutely make that trade.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: And a fruit juice to be named later.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: That's the key right there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Well, we're going to discuss at all. How was your
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: weekend before we start to launch an end of this.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, how was your last four
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: days of your life?
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: I know, I think they were the busiest days I've
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: had in the last three months.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Wow, So why is that?
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Well, I was so we had a big golf tournament
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: up at Mill Creek and I that it's the men's Invitational,
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: and I always helped volunteer. I was running around Thursday
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: and Friday.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I got chicken with your head, Chicken with my head
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: cut off.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: And then Saturday I had that softball game, which, by
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: the way, did not strike out. Made contact at both
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: my mats. I did get out, but I didn't strike out.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I wanted to make sure that I at.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Least hit the ball. Didn't embarrass yourself.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I did not feel embarrassed the Koogs one, so that
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: part I hate it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: But and then Sunday I had a seven hour journey
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: to Sumner and back.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It happens, Yeah, it happens.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And it was I got locked in our parking garage
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: here yesterday.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So that was cool.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because I had to come get the kz Ok
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: vehicle to go to the event in Sumner and then couldn't.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Get out of the garage.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: So it was really just I was like, Wow, I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: going to wrap up this weekend thinking I'm so glad
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: I had these days off.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: A tie bow on this one.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the way to wrap it up.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well that's all right. I'm happy to be back.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I had a twenty one hour broadcast day on Friday.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Oh that sounds like a thrill.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, Well so you got that going for you,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: which would which helps none at all. All right, well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: we are certainly underway. We are happy to be here
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: with you here on this Monday morning. And yes, I'm
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: sure you had an adventurous week and yourselves out there,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: many of you, And let's face it, so did the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Mariners from Friday night with a loss of the Minnesota Twins.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And it sort of looked.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Like and felt like that maybe that was too big
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: a loss to overcome, that this team was in such
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a funk that no, statistically they weren't out of it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: It wasn't some must win on Friday, but the way
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the team has played here in the last month, coupled
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: with the trading deadline approaching getting home, was supposed to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: sort of resurrect things, and then to lose the game
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Friday certainly cast a Paul, a darker Paul, deeper Paul
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: over the entire operation. And it did feel like, certainly,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: as you put your head down on the pillow on
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Friday night that maybe this team was not going to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: trade four players at the trading deadline, and then what
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: kind of new do we wake up to in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: morning on Saturday. News that they are open to anything
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and that means maybe even selling, and the names George
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Kirby and Randy a rose Arena started to float around
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: and people were losing their minds. How could you trade
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Randy a rose Arena. He's been your only consistent hitter
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: this entire season. You're really going to move him at
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the trading deadline? You're going to abandon this Where there
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: were other Mariner fans that were like.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: This team stinks.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Sell sell sell, and so they were actually receiving that
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: news with open arms. Then the George Kirby news was
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: accompanied with that, and that would be a real indication
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that this team was giving up on the season if
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you moved away from George Kirby, or at least many
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: people felt. But the idea theoretically would be that you
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: trade from strength, and if you can't get the offers
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: you want from for Luis Castillo or for Emerson Hancock,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: then maybe you have to dangle an even more attract
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: trade piece in order to get the offensive return that
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you're seeking. And then things started to get muted a
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: little bit with a Saturday victory. A Saturday win sort
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: of pulled this team from the abyss, or so it felt,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and maybe, uh man, now we're kind of caught in between.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Was this going to be a cell buy kind of
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: trade deadline? Jerry's done that before. He's also been very
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: aggressive at the trading deadline, even though they were further
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: out than what they are now during the Randia Rose
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Arena trade deadline when you bought him in the first place.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And so then we spent Saturday wondering, oh boy, which
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: direction are they heading? And then we got the news
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: on Saturday evening that the Mariners had in fact moved
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a starting pitcher, and it was the guy that they
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: wanted to move all along, and that is veteran Luis Castillo.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: He is now a member of the.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Chicago White Sox. Traded four relief.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Pitchers, Sir Anthony Dominguez, Nolan Jones, who at one point
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: seemed to be ready to take the league by storm
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and came back the second season after he had a
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: very impressive debut and has never been able to find
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that player again, He's been moved several times over the
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: last few years. So nothing that you can rely on,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: certainly this year and probably never. But it is a
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: little bit of a roll of the dice. Maybe catch
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: lightning in a bottle, because he is a big, strong,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: athletic outfielder. He just might be lost and his time
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: might be done. And then the third piece was a
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: minor league prospect, a catcher with a lot of potential.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I'm hearing some really good things about him, but he
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: is not considered one of the better prospects in the
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: or one of the best prospects, maybe one of the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: better ones, top fifteen prospect in the White Sox organization.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: He was immediately made about the fifteenth best prospect in
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the Mariners organization according to Pipeline upon the trade. But
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: let's go back, let's refresh, because my thoughts on Luis
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Castillo throughout this process.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Were He's gonna be really hard to trade.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: With that salary, not performing well this season, but he
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: has been performing better as of late, and where the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Mariners might not need that leadership, or they might not
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: need a sixth man for a six man rotation, right
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the Chicago White Sox, a young team with a young
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: staff that looks like they're headed toward the playoffs, might
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: be able to use a veteran in Luis Castillo with
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: some playoff experience, with some Pennant stretch experience in his career,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: who has been pitching better as of late. And the
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: White Sox sound just damn giddy about getting Luis Castillo
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: on their roster. And so what I said about Castillo is,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: you probably are going to have to take on a
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: bad contract if you trade him, or you'll just get
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: some middling prospect. If you trade him, you're not gonna
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: get that big of a return. I'll say this. They
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: got a little bit more of a return than I thought. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: they because they got both. They got a bad contract, yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: and Sir Anthony Demingez because he's not gonna be worth
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: ten million dollars as a relief pitcher, our sixth best
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: relief pitcher next year. And they got a middling prospect,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: even though he is showing some stuff at the minor
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: league level.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So they got both. So actually they.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Got a little bit more than I was projecting, But
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: it was still in the neighborhood of what.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I was projecting.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's what I felt like too. When I
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: heard it, I was like, okay, well, I don't hate it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I like Luis Castillo a lot. I would have loved
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: for him to go to the bullpen, but at the
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: same time, with that contract, it just doesn't make sense.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: So getting rid of that contract for at least a
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: lesser bad.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Contract, right right, I was like, yeah, okay, I'll take it,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: and we get some bullpen help and we get some possibilities.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's and so under the circumstances, I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: they did well, but it didn't really make the team better. No,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think Sir Anthony Dominguez is a better pitcher
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: than Luis Castillo, and had Castillo gone to the bullpen
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: as you suggested just now, I think he would have
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: been very good at it, and probably better than Sir
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Anthony Dominguez is.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Going to be.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: So So in terms of the trade, yes, it was
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: a It was a really good trade if your goal
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: is to dump money now and into next year, if
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: that was your goal, to get out from underneath the contract,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and to also clarify your starting rotation going forward so
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: we don't have to piggyback anymore, and we don't have
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: to six man this thing anymore. If if that was
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the objective, let's clarify our starting rotation for the rest
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: of the season, and and we can also get out
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: from underneath some money that we can better spend in
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the off season or even at this year's trading deadline.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: If that was the goal, then I would say mission accomplished. Yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't really improve this team as a matter
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: of fact, actually it doesn't improve this team. And so
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: now that you have won two games in a row,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: since we woke up Saturday morning feeling like the world
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: was ready to end, hearing a Rose Arena and Kirby
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: could be out the door and it could be a
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: buy sell, one foot in the boat, one foot on
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: land kind of trading deadline again this year, which might
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: have been understandable at that stage in the process, considering
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: how poorly the team was playing through Friday night. You know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: we're in that mode. And now all of a sudden,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: you're out from underneath Castillo. You have added a veteran
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: piece to your bullpen, and now you've won two dramatic
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: baseball games, actually, way too dramatic for our tastes. You've
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: won two games, you get a day off, and you're
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: getting ready to take on a Tigers team that's probably
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: going to be depleted by the time you face them.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Once this trade deadline day comes to a close, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: suddenly the clouds lift and maybe you're back in a race,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: and maybe today you're going to be aggressive at the
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: trading deadline again. Maybe there is enough evidence there to
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: suggest that you should, in fact, as you felt all
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: season long, be buying at the trading deadline and trying
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: to take advantage of this good roster that you put
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: together in the off season. So that's where it stands
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: right now, three games out of first place from the
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Houston Astros. But that's a team that the Mariners have
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: dominated for the last couple of years, certainly this year,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: and you will have your chance head to head with
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: them soon, very soon to really make a statement within
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the division. So here we sit on trade deadline day.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to expect from this team. I
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: really don't. But my guess is Ashley that after moving Castillo,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know why the Kirby rumors are still floating
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: around out there.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't either.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine, you know, an organization, because if you
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: recall two off seasons in a row, I've said to
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: trade Luis Castillo. I mean, you can go back and
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: listen to all the Stove podcasts with anders Hurst said, yeah,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I said it here in the morning show as well.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I wanted them to move on from him, and their
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: statement was you never trained starting pitching. You just don't
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: do it. And yet we've spent this entire season with
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: too many starting pitchers and Kate Anderson not allowing any
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: runs at Double A, and we don't even have room
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to move him up even with an injury. And so
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: that's been my statement all along. So now that they
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: finally have moved Luis Castillo, I can't imagine that George
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Kirby is still on the trading block at this point.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And maybe the Cubs trade for Kevin Gosman last night
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: is the indication that George Kirby is no longer being
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you know, waved around here at the trading deadline. So
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm assuming George is not going at this.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Point, and I would I would hope that's the case,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: and especially after yesterday's performance and him even saying post
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: game I've heard the rumors.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: I don't want to go anywhere. I want to be here.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: So if that's the way he shows you he wants
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: to be here, I'll take it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Go seven in means not giving up a run. Yeah, thanks, Yeah.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And I do think he's probably gone in the offseason.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I've been saying this for years. But if this team,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: you know, still believes in this roster, and you do
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: have nearly two months to prove that your playoff caliber,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, having George Kirby around I.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Think helps the baseball team.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, And so I can't imagine that they're moving on
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: from two veterans so that they can clear a space
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: for Kate Anderson and the starting rotation, who really has
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: not gone more than four.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Innings in a game this season.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I mean that's where they lock him in at at
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: four innings, so that he'll have some juice left at
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: the end of the year to join this team. But
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I've always suspected it was going to be either in
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: a September I've called him the September South Paul from
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: since the beginning of the year. I always thought that
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it was going to be in a September role where
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: he might get a few starts down the stretch, or
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: can be used as a bullpen piece, where you might
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: go ahead and pitch him the four innings that he's
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: accustomed to throwing so far this season, But to thrust
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: him into the starting rotation when he's really not stretched
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: out beyond four innings at this stage in his first
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: full year as a professional baseball player, I can't imagine
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: George Kirby is still available in trade if he was
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: ever available in trade. And so that's how I'm approaching
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: this deadline day with the idea that George Kirby is
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: still going to be a Mariner after three o'clock this afternoon. Now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Randy or Rose Arena could be a different story, which
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: is something that we're going to tackle a little bit
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: later on in the show when I got a little
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: more time, I would just say, as an overview, this
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: is certainly been our most consistent hitter this year, but
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: he's also probably been the greatest source of frustration in
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: terms of clubhouse chemistry so far this year. And a
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: few years ago, the Detroit Tigers were in a similar
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: situation where they were on they weren't sure if they
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: were going to make the playoffs, and they decided to
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: move on from Jack Flaherty at the trading deadline and
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: a few others they sold at the deadline, if you remember,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: and ended up going on a tear in August with
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: their new refreshed clubhouse and ended up making the playoffs
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that year because they started playing seven hundred baseball. They
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: cost the Mariners a spot in the playoffs two years
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: ago because a team that sold in the deadline got
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: their stuff together after the deadline and ended up going
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: on this run without three or four veteran pieces that
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: they moved away before the trade deadline back in twenty
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: twenty four. So it's not unprecedented. The only difference is
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: in this situation, the Mariners have a struggling offensive team
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: and Randy rose Arena has been their best offensive player.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: The Tigers moved on from Flaherty and others, but they
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: still had Trek Scoobel back on that team in twenty
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: twenty four. Where the Mariners if they moved on from
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: a Rose Arena today, and we're going to talk about
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: what they might get if in fact they choose to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: do that, then you're creating another whole attitude or not
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: in an offense that obviously has been challenged all season long.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: So it's an interesting aspect as we get ready for
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: three o'clock this afternoon.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's the I just I think if we
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: get rid of Randy Rose Arena, then it's telling me
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: that they're I don't know, it's telling me that they
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: don't really believe in this team because you get rid
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: of the one consistent thing that's happened on the offense
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: and you're saying, Okay, we're done.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if it's necessarily that. I get
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: why you're saying that, but I don't know if it's
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: necessarily that. I don't expect them to move him. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: think the two wins on Saturday and Sunday draw you
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: close enough. You're three back of the division lead, with
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: plenty of opportunities to face the Astros. The Rangers apparently
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: are going to sell today. We talked to their beat
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: writer last week or was it no two weeks ago,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: and he thought they were in first place at the time,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and he thought that they were going to sell at
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the trading deadline. So the Rangers really don't count themselves
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: as a contender. The Mariners do. The Astros certainly do.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Now they're going to add today. But you're only three
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: games back of Houston, You're only two games back in
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: the wildcard race. So those two wins ye might have
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: kept Jerry and Justin from out of frustration fury, from
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: abandoning their pursuits of making the playoffs this year.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: But We've got a lot.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: To discuss today. I'm not done with Castillo, I'm not
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: done with Domingos, I'm not done with a Rose Arena,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not done with Kirby. We're gonna spend a large
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: chunk of today's show here from training camp talking about
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: deadline day, one of my favorite days of the year.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Let's find out what's on tap for today, show man.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Please, this is what's on TAP's brought to you by
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: Emerald Queen Casinos, bringing you the best in live music, entertainment,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: dining in gaming, Emerald Queen Casino, always entertaining. For more info,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: visit Emerald Queen dot com.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So the deadline is at three pm today.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: That's plenty of time for plenty of activity, and there
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: is expected to be a lot of it. So we
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: waited a long time with no activity during this process,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: and then it started happening just as the experts were projecting.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Once Derek Scooball got moved to the Los Angeles Dodge,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: it opened up the market. We've since then seen Freddie
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Peralta get traded from the Mets to the Tampa Bay Rays,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Luis Garcia pretty good hitter from the Washington Nationals to
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: the New York Yankees, and Kevin Gosman last night to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the Chicago Cubs. And we've got from now until three
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: o'clock for what is expected to be a lot more
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: wheeling and dealing, and so we'll keep you up to
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: date this morning. I don't know if the trades will
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: start before ten am this morning, but my guess is
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that Greg Bell and Ian Furness are going to be
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: loaded with all sorts of trades to discuss as a
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: trading deadline day has finally come.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: We are at training camp.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell will join us today at seven oh five
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: and we will talk Seahawks football with him. Also, Emmanuel Wilson,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: one of the newcomers to the Seahawks, is going to
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: join us today at seven forty five. Probably the big
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: story is that we are on the eve of the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Hard Knocks debut for the World Champs that will air
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night on HBO. We Genevion Clowney, who I closed
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the week with talking about how the Seahawks did have
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: legitimate interest in bringing Jdevion Clowney back to Seattle. Well,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: he had legitimate interest in going back to the place
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it started for him as an NFL player. He signed
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: with the Houston Texans over the weekend. The countdown to
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame weekend is here and so that begins
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: in earnest here. Today, the Sounders lost again, but at
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: least it was close two to one to the Timbers,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: so maybe it's a step in the right direction for
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Brian Schmetzer's struggling football team. The NWNBA trading deadline was yesterday.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: The big move was udub's own Kelsey Plumb, moving from
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the Sparks to the Phoenix Mercury, and Seafair came to
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: another glorious conclusion, another great year here in Seattle for Seafair.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, Mariners Morning after We do it after
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: every Mariner game right here on Sports Radio ninety three
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: point three KJRFM. Somebody put you on a tarp and
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: then like threw you in the air and they didn't
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: quite catch you in celebration, and you thought that you were.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Going to die.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: And then you're fine, but you're shooken up, and everybody
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: is still in celebratory mood, and you try to put
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: that smile on your face even though you felt like
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: you almost just died.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, okay that one.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: No, we didn't whoa oh boy, oh so down hard.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: That's the way it feels. That's the way it feels
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: this morning. So we do get to celebrate two wins.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: We do get to celebrate having pushed our feet to
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the abyss. It felt like on Saturday, and somehow the
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Mariners with a new strategy, really interesting one this weekend.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: You know what, let's score a lot of runs early
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: and then stop scoring them entirely. The other team catch up, okay,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and then let's see what happens after that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then it's anyone's game, right.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Well, that strategy resulted resulted in a loss on Friday,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: resulted in a win on Saturday, and then on Sunday, CAYL.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Raley decided, you know what, I'm gonna tweak.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: The strategy a little bit. Here. We scored too early.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Let's score three, right, now and let's get a really
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: big lead to blow. And so they jumped up six
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: to nothing. It looked like it was over. I was
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: half expecting to see Dan Wilson go to Rucker or
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: a Hoppy in the eighth inning. Instead he went to
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: a struggling Bizardo and for Rare in the eighth, and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: they ended up giving up five runs. Yes, five runs
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: in the eighth inning, made it six' five in the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: eighth going into the, ninth still a one run. Lead
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: here Comes, munos who's been fantasicstic since early season, struggles
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and then he gives up a home run To Luke
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: keishall to tie the game at six apiece and just
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: kind of obliterated the good feeling that was starting to
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: grow again for The. Mariners but in the bottom of the,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: ninth a chance for back to back walk off wins
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: for The, Mariners seattle gets it, going and once again
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: It's Josh naylor who gets it. Started he gets the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: base hit to lead off the, inning and then with
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: great base running one out, later on A roablay single to,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Center naylor he Juked keishell into thinking he was staying
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: at second and then put on the After burners gets
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: the third base scraped up his face on the other,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: yeah looking slide that you've ever seen in your entire.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Life had to be removed from the.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Game Dan wilson did say he was going to do
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: it anyway to get a faster, runner not a better base,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: runner not a better base runner on this team Than Josh,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: naylor but a faster base runner at third. Base and
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: so there's your situation as they end up second and,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: third two, Outs Colt emerson comes to the, plate falls
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: behind in the.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Count all you.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Got to do is put the ball in, Play, colt
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: and we should win this baseball, game fair child winning run.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: One two live base sat dog.
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: Game Colt emerson his first career rock up knock and
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: The mariners take down The twins in, nine seven to.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Six they walk him off for the second and second a.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Day you could even tell In aaron's call that it was, like,

  Speaker 3: LADY i, mean he sounded downright depressed for a couple
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: of games last, week and so were. We So mariners
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: went over The twins seven to six on The Colt
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: emerson walk. Off he not only drives in the, run
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: but he does it with a solid base hit through
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: the right side of the infield and it Scores Stuart,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: fairchild WHO i just watched Playing Tacoma friday, night but
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: he got called up for the weekend. Series and really
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: it all happened With Josh, Naylor AND i do want
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: to Mention Josh naylor before we start talking About George.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: KIRBY i Think Josh naylor has had a rough year
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: in his first full season with The. MARINERS i think
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: he played lacks a daisical at the beginning of the.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: SEASON i think he IS i think that he was
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: trying to play it too cool at times rather than
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: make the. PLAY i think that he's had trouble heading
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: the long. Ball there are a lot of things to
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: pick apart About Josh naylor's, season and his statistics suggest
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: that he's not been a very good player this. Year
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: But i'm telling you there's been an attitude, change even
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: cut his hair, like there's been an attitude change here
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: recently from, him and.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: He willed us to those two. Wins his getting.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: On base and the ninth inning both, times his fantastic base.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: RUNNING i, mean he's one of the slowest guys on this,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: team and that stolen Base saturday was so. HUGE i,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Mean Josh, naylor in my, opinion willed this team to
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: those two late inning victories that we got On saturday And.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Sunday so it's great to see out Of. Josh also
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: great to See George kirby throw throw an excellent, game
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: even though he doesn't end up getting the win because
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: of The twins, comeback But george was. Fantastic seven shutout,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: innings just five hits, allowed he only struck out three.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Batters but he was, effective he was, efficient he was.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Excellent Here's george after the.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: Game you, know with everything going, On, uh just try
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: and go out there and you, know do my. Best

• 29:44
  Speaker 8: to stay. HERE i want to show them That i'm

• 29:51
  Speaker 8: attention to, ruvers but they find your family and a
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: fun of people and they probably tell you about.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: IT i, mean did that way on you a little
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: bit and then throwing the whole cast?
• 29:58

• 30:15
  Speaker 8: SO i do my best to try and not worry about.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: That but, YEAH i kind of you, know it's something
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: you keep in your. Mind you willgree about a little.
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: Bit so but, yeah with The lewis, situation you, know

• 30:42
  Speaker 8: on his, face and like that's that's something THAT i really,
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: admire SOMETHING i WISH i could do a little more.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: Often so, YEAH i, mean he's just just a pleasure
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: to be, around and you, know him being the vet
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: in our clubhouse FOR us. Pictures we know someday we
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: really looked up.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: To And.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: George kirby after the game talking About Louis castillo and
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: being frank about his own. Situation he was involved in
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of trade rumors throughout the last couple of
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: weeks and certainly going into that outing. YESTERDAY i, mean
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: but it did come on the eels Of Luis castillo being.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Traded AS i mentioned in our first, SEGMENT i can't
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: imagine The mariners are going to now trade another veteran starting.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: PITCHER i would Think kirby And hancock are. Safe BUT
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: i will say this because And i'm not gonna mention
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: any names right, NOW i think there are some hitters
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: position players on this team who did not like some
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: of the things being said or written about them and pouted,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: yeah pouded, yeah and it affected their, play not our.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Pitchers and this goes For, castillo this goes For, hancock
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: and this goes For kirby in their most recent. OUTINGS
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: i Know castillo wasn't great in his most recent, outing
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: but he. Battled And george showed up with a different
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: kind of mindset yesterday And emmer's and under probably the
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: most difficult, circumstances and his last outing also gave a

  Speaker 3: For The mariners for a pretty optimistic series against The
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: tigers team that should be down emotionally and they should

• 34:41
  Speaker 3: and it's really hard to find a right handed. HITTER
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: i guess the asking price is just way too, high
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: and that's what The phillies. Need but they, Decided, hey

  Speaker 3: if we can't get a right handed, hitter let's get

• 35:33
  Speaker 3: bit later on in the. SHOW i don't have a
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: lot of time. HERE i would just say they're gonna
• 35:38

• 35:41

• 35:44
  Speaker 3: eight hours who have weighed in on, this And i'll
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: go ahead and name some of them because they're co.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Workers Softy ian's gonna say this and his show.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: TODAY i Hear Mike benton reposting some things out there
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: our old, friend And shocky was one of the first
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: THAT i saw that that tweeted out this. STATEMENT i
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: heard it as soon AS i turned on the radio
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: in my car this morning from a guy at A
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: national guy, uh and all of you are wrong when
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: you are tweeting out. There the problem is not The,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: dodgers it's everybody. Else you're, Wrong, yeah you are. Wrong
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: the problem is The. Dodgers AND i don't know what
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: happened with our treatment of baseball that we have such
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: sympathy for major league. Players they're just not making enough
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: millions for. US i, mean it is, rare, right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: And they can only make fifty.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Year it is very clear that big market teams act
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: like big market, teams and mid market teams act like
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: mid market, teams and small market teams act like small market.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Teams and then there's The, dodgers and they are an
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: absolute outlier to all of this because they are a
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: big market club That Major League baseball has allowed to
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: give deferred payments. To they have one point one billion
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: dollars in deferred payments that they owe in the future
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: that they're not paying on right.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Yep and it gives them incredible advantages to add salary
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to their roster like A Terek. Schooble but it also
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: gives them this advantage which not enough people are talking,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: about and that is The Milwaukee brewers have to operate
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: in a different, way so The Milwaukee brewers can give
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: a prospect package that is on par with what it
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: usually costs to get a rental. Player Jan soto was
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: rented by The yankees a couple of years, ago and
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: he Got he was traded for a relief, pitcher a
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: backup catcher in his, thirties and three decent but not
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: great prospects in order to get him to rent. Him
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: but The yankees also have the opportunity to Resign Juan.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Soto the.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Brewers't so if The brewers get in a bidding war
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: with The, dodgers they're going to have to give up
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: more than three months or two months Of tarrek's scoubel
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: is likely going to be, worth and they can't operate
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: that way and remain competitive in the current. Climate, meanwhile The,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: dodgers because of all of their, advantages get to sit
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: back there and, say what's the best offer you've, gotten
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: and then they beat it, slightly and The tigers take
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: the best offer that they are. Given and because The
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: dodgers know that not only are we investing In trek's
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: scoubel for the rest of the, season and we know
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: we're going to make the playoffs this. Year but we
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: also know that we're probably going to re sign them
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: because we don't play by the rules that other people
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: have to play, by, Right so that's another advantage that
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: not enough people are talking. ABOUT i don't know why
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: we have arrived at the. Conclusion so many smart people
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: in the sports community have arrived at the conclusion that
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: The dodgers aren't the, problem it's everybody. Else that's just not.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: True there is only one team that performs as a
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: small market club that tried to perform like a big market.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Club that's The San Diego padres, recently and for one, reason.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Because their owner was. Dying he literally had been diagnosed with.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: A terminal illness and wanted to use some of his
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: millions before he died on trying to make The padres
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: a world champion so that he could see that happen
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: before he perished from this. Earth and now he has,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: sadly and his team is up for, sale and those
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: owners are going to operate it as a, business not
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: as a dying. Wish and so if if this was
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: not true What i'm, saying then why does everyone act
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: that way except The, Dodgers and it's because they are an,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: outlier and The Major League, baseball the, league the commissioner
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: want them to do. It they're allowing them to do
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: it rather than get in the way of it because
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: they have been planning on a salary cap in the
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: next collective bargaining agreement for a decade and they want
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: it to look like it's grossly unfair across the.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Board they want The dodgers to run them.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Up they want them to win the championship this year
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: so that they have three straight titles and it looks
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: like the entire landscape is grossly, unfair even though this,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: moment The dodgers don't have a better record than the
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: small Market Milwaukee. Brewers The brewers have a better record
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: than The, dodgers but they Major League baseball wants a salary.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Cap they're letting The dodgers run them up with a
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: flawed system so that they can use that to get
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: a salary cap in the. Negotiation they can lean on
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: fans support as well for, that and fans are tired
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: of this unfair system that is in place In Major League.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Baseball so that is the.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Truth, okay we're gonna talk more about it at nine
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: o'clock coming up next though headlines And Greg Bell Sports
