0:08
Speaker 1: Oh about. That's a good sound, and it.
0:10
Speaker 2: Sounds at a Dodger stadium.
0:12
Speaker 1: That is good to see.
0:14
Speaker 2: For cal Rawi he ties the game, instant League, Julio
0:21
Speaker 2: in charge out TUNELETDLD and the home runs are coming
0:26
Speaker 2: back for the Mariners. When's the last time col and
0:31
Speaker 2: Julio have homer in the same game?
0:36
Speaker 1: April Yeah, a long time ago. April eleven. Aaron Golzman,
0:42
Speaker 1: Mariners TV on the call. He was really good last night.
0:45
Speaker 1: Gay Valley was really good last night. It was just,
0:48
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just so nice to see our
0:50
Speaker 1: guys hit good night. I mean, you can just just
0:54
Speaker 1: this crack of the bat. I mean I was you know,
0:58
Speaker 1: I had to go Pete at one and I didn't
1:01
Speaker 1: even get back for the Muncie home run in time
1:03
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. But I heard the crack of the
1:06
Speaker 1: bat and that sound like was the theme of the
1:09
Speaker 1: night last night. Fortunately, we cracked more out than they
1:13
Speaker 1: did and won it by a final score of seven
1:15
Speaker 1: to six. But the Dodgers are used to that sound.
1:18
Speaker 1: I have not been used to hearing a game, hearing
1:21
Speaker 1: a game like that in quite some time. We crushed
1:24
Speaker 1: some baseballs last night and if we were. If he
1:27
Speaker 1: was tipping pitches, fine.
1:29
Speaker 3: Oh whatever, sure if he wasn't, thank you.
1:32
Speaker 1: How many games have we finished where we're like, was
1:34
Speaker 1: George tipp and pitches last night?
1:36
Speaker 3: How did they just keep crushing them?
1:37
Speaker 4: We have?
1:38
Speaker 1: We've not had one game this year where like, is
1:40
Speaker 1: Robleski tipping pitches?
1:42
Speaker 3: Well, if he was, thank you. And to who's pitching
1:45
Speaker 3: the night, please do it? Please do that as well.
1:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, far quar, get on your job. Yeah yeah, let's
1:49
Speaker 1: do it again tonight. Oh lord Eric Eric Lower is
1:52
Speaker 1: getting the start tonight, another lefty for the Dodgers, but
1:56
Speaker 1: not a very good one. If that makes anybody feel better, yeah,
1:59
Speaker 1: it makes me feel better because he's gonna tip his pitches.
2:01
Speaker 1: Mariners win best game of the year last night, not
2:06
Speaker 1: just because we won. I mean, even if we would
2:09
Speaker 1: have lost that game, I would have thought that was
2:11
Speaker 1: one of the most entertaining baseball games I've seen this season.
2:14
Speaker 1: But the fact that the Marinders do pull it out
2:17
Speaker 1: that Munios with nobody out and Otania third up one
2:21
Speaker 1: gets out of that jam and the M's hold on
2:24
Speaker 1: for a seven to six victory, it could be something.
2:28
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the kind of win that does tend
2:31
Speaker 1: to turn things around. I mean, it was a complete effort,
2:35
Speaker 1: even Castillo, who gave up five runs. I thought at
2:37
Speaker 1: times dug really deep to get out of some situations
2:42
Speaker 1: last night. And then obviously we finally hit the baseball
2:45
Speaker 1: and hit it hard. Cal said as much afterwards. It's
2:47
Speaker 1: the kind of game that could turn things around. But
2:50
Speaker 1: we got to come back same exact focus, same exact
2:53
Speaker 1: effort tomorrow night, because you didn't gain any ground on
2:56
Speaker 1: anybody last night. Rangers won Astros one wins one in
3:00
Speaker 1: the wild card standings, so this team does get a
3:03
Speaker 1: nice win last night, but they got a lot more
3:06
Speaker 1: work to do. Seven to six the final. They play
3:09
Speaker 1: again tonight at seven to ten. It will be left
3:12
Speaker 1: hander Eric Louer for them and Emerson Hancock starts for
3:16
Speaker 1: the Mariners. It could be his final start as a Mariner.
3:19
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that later on this hour. We're
3:22
Speaker 1: five days away from the trading deadline. Still not much
3:25
Speaker 1: movement at all on the trading deadline. We've had a
3:28
Speaker 1: couple of moves, that's it, but it should pick up
3:31
Speaker 1: here in the next couple of days. Also, Storm lost
3:35
Speaker 1: to the fever last night. The first game of the
3:37
Speaker 1: second half. Elise Woodward is now the voice of the
3:40
Speaker 1: Washington Huskies football program. Eddie Olchick is out on the
3:44
Speaker 1: Kraken Network and we will certainly miss him. And then
3:48
Speaker 1: from the National Football League, Kyle Shanahan changed the story.
3:53
Speaker 1: He took control of this story forget the PR firm.
3:56
Speaker 1: They came in and asked him about his recent traffic
3:59
Speaker 1: accident and said the report is wrong. It was my fault.
4:03
Speaker 1: I dropped my cell phone, I went down to grab
4:05
Speaker 1: it and I drifted over into the other lane accidentally,
4:09
Speaker 1: and I caused the accident. So that is in contrast
4:13
Speaker 1: to the reports that were made previous. They We'll find
4:16
Speaker 1: some time to talk about that later on in the show,
4:19
Speaker 1: but right now, it's time to talk Seahawks football. Joining
4:22
Speaker 1: us our Seahawks insider Greg Bell.
4:27
Speaker 5: I swear it's frozen, so that's probably just gonna start randomly.
4:31
Speaker 1: All right, for the twelfth minutes.
4:37
Speaker 6: This is twelfth Man News, part of Chuck's Daily Visit

5:01
Speaker 1: Greg Mail, good morning. I'm doing all right. Are you
5:06
Speaker 1: looking forward to a little day off from the Virginia
5:09
Speaker 1: Mason Athletic Center here today?
5:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's nice to be outside and are oh see
5:15
Speaker 7: Ashley again. I'm gotten the dark by herself anymore.
5:19
Speaker 3: It's glorious, there's light.
5:22
Speaker 1: It is such. I mean, we've had such a great
5:25
Speaker 1: spring and summer so far. I mean just phenomenal. And
5:29
Speaker 1: I don't think you can overstate it. I mean, anybody
5:32
Speaker 1: that played even high school football knows that, you know,
5:36
Speaker 1: practice preseason practice. I mean, we didn't call it training
5:39
Speaker 1: camp when I grew up in Illinois, but it was
5:41
Speaker 1: in the dirt and the dust and the humidity and
5:44
Speaker 1: the heat. Nobody take for granted how nice it is
5:48
Speaker 1: to practice football in rent and Washington every year, because
5:53
Speaker 1: it has been fantastic out there, Greg, Yeah, it is.
5:57
Speaker 7: And the every year the guy is the first player,
6:01
Speaker 7: the first year players, whether it's rookies or guys that
6:03
Speaker 7: just acquired a lot of them are from the SEC area. Yeah,
6:07
Speaker 7: from Florida, or they're from Attle, Dama, Mississippi. They can't
6:10
Speaker 7: believe it. I mean you can hear them talking among themselves,
6:14
Speaker 7: the Eagles, the lake, the boats.
6:16
Speaker 4: Going by the breeze.
6:18
Speaker 7: Even when it's hot on the hot's a relative term
6:20
Speaker 7: here in Seattle, but even when it's hot in the eighties,
6:24
Speaker 7: on those practice days, there's at least a breeze.
6:26
Speaker 4: Off the lake.
6:27
Speaker 7: Letter Williams was talking about that yesterday. It's crazy nice.
6:30
Speaker 7: I mean, especially for those of us who covered the
6:33
Speaker 7: team when they were in Cheney at the Eastern Washington University,
6:36
Speaker 7: staying in the dorms, and the players used to stay
6:39
Speaker 7: in those siloed dorms right next to Ruse Field. It
6:43
Speaker 7: was hot like one hundred and ten, and Mike Honger
6:45
Speaker 7: would have them out there in two thirty afternoon practices
6:48
Speaker 7: two a days and it was not this. Now they're
6:52
Speaker 7: stayed at the Lake Washington Hyatt, and they're practiced right
6:56
Speaker 7: by a lake with breezes. It's I've been to a
6:59
Speaker 7: few training camps. Oxgnard for the Cowboys is pretty nice too,
7:03
Speaker 7: but Napa for the Raiders when I covered the Raiders.
7:07
Speaker 7: But this one's just when I can't think of anyone
7:09
Speaker 7: that has to be better than this.
7:11
Speaker 1: You know, you know it's funny, and I don't want
7:12
Speaker 1: to labor this point. We got a lot of other
7:15
Speaker 1: things to talk about. But there are baseball players that
7:19
Speaker 1: will choose in free agency. Part of their their decision
7:24
Speaker 1: is I want to do spring training in Arizona, not
7:27
Speaker 1: Florida or vice versa.
7:29
Speaker 4: Like.
7:29
Speaker 1: That's how specific it sometimes can get. And so I'm
7:33
Speaker 1: not saying that free agents will choose the Seahawks because
7:38
Speaker 1: training camp is going to be an eighty degree weather tops,
7:43
Speaker 1: but it doesn't hurt. I'll say that it certainly doesn't hurt.
7:47
Speaker 7: A lot of those baseball guys own homes in the
7:49
Speaker 7: Phoenix area, and another reason why they want spring training there.
7:52
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get into it. I have not
7:54
Speaker 1: asked you yet. Who's creating the most buzz at camp.
7:58
Speaker 1: Hugh did weigh in on that topic yesterday and he
8:01
Speaker 1: brought up a name that right, so you're both on
8:04
Speaker 1: the same page with this, Riley Mills.
8:08
Speaker 7: I was listening to that and I was like, hey,
8:11
Speaker 7: Riley Mills, is looks really fast, and you don't think
8:15
Speaker 7: of a defensive lineman as fast. But that's exactly what
8:18
Speaker 7: Mike McDonald wants in his defensive lineman. I had Riley
8:21
Speaker 7: Mills on my show yesterday.
8:22
Speaker 4: He plays. I saw him yesterday, in a span.
8:25
Speaker 7: Of three plays, go from a zero technique nose tackle
8:28
Speaker 7: over the center to a three technique on shading the
8:31
Speaker 7: guard as a tackle to outside as an end on
8:35
Speaker 7: three consecutive plays. I also saw Riley Mills running down
8:38
Speaker 7: the field an open field special teams drill, looking like
8:42
Speaker 7: he was a gunner on the punt team or a
8:44
Speaker 7: coverage team guy in the open field on kickoff. That's
8:47
Speaker 7: what Jay Harbor had him doing. He's running everywhere like
8:51
Speaker 7: he has a bionic leg instead of a reconstructed one
8:54
Speaker 7: that cost him almost.
8:55
Speaker 4: All the last season.
8:57
Speaker 7: Yes, Riley Mills can get. We've talked to Chuck now
9:02
Speaker 7: for throughout the Super Bowl year. Last year, we said, yeah,
9:05
Speaker 7: the defensive line is good, but they aren't as deep
9:08
Speaker 7: as the previous Super Bowl defensive line. I remember we
9:10
Speaker 7: talked about how they used to run nine, ten eleven
9:12
Speaker 7: guys in the first quarter like hockey line changes.
9:15
Speaker 4: They aren't there yet.
9:17
Speaker 7: Riley Mills, though he wasn't there most of last year
9:20
Speaker 7: until the very end. If he emerges like he's emerging
9:24
Speaker 7: in training camp, they suddenly become deeper, which makes them
9:27
Speaker 7: on the defensive line, which makes them better, and that
9:30
Speaker 7: gives McDonald way more options to do all kinds of things.
9:33
Speaker 7: With Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy and even Jaron Reid.
9:39
Speaker 4: Riley Mills has.
9:39
Speaker 7: A chance to be a gigantic piece that they didn't
9:42
Speaker 7: even have last year. It's like acquiring or drafting a
9:45
Speaker 7: new guy on their defensive line.
9:47
Speaker 4: The way he looks that. We talk a lot about
9:51
Speaker 4: the back.
9:51
Speaker 7: Seven and Ernest Jones and Devin Witherspoon and Nicky m
9:54
Speaker 7: Worry and even up front the Marcus Lawrence.
9:57
Speaker 4: And Letter Williams.
9:59
Speaker 7: No one's thinking about Riley Mills because he wasn't on
10:01
Speaker 7: that team. Until he's got to sack his first career
10:04
Speaker 7: sack in the Super Bowl. He could be a huge factor.
10:07
Speaker 7: He looks like he's completely back from that injury.
10:10
Speaker 1: What kind of versatility because I know a lot of
10:13
Speaker 1: teams now look for defensive lineman the Michael Bennett type
10:16
Speaker 1: that he can go three technique. He can he can
10:18
Speaker 1: even line up over knows if you need him too,
10:20
Speaker 1: he could go five technique. What kind of versatility is
10:23
Speaker 1: Mills bringing to the field.
10:26
Speaker 7: Just what you said, and I said, three plays in
10:28
Speaker 7: a row. He played three different positions. That's what Byron
10:31
Speaker 7: Murphy was doing last year. That's what Leonard Williams does
10:35
Speaker 7: for them, and some to a lesser extent, Jaron reed
10:37
Speaker 7: Reid doesn't often go outside a defensive end. But the
10:41
Speaker 7: trick to an offense and offensive line is when they
10:45
Speaker 7: have their protection calls, they are leaning those protection calls
10:49
Speaker 7: to a Leonard Williams, to a DeMarcus Lawrence, and if
10:52
Speaker 7: that guy's lining up in a different spowl or even
10:54
Speaker 7: Byron Murphy, one of the best double team.
10:57
Speaker 4: Eaters in the league.
10:58
Speaker 7: And when those guys move from play to play, they
11:00
Speaker 7: have to change their protection calls.
11:02
Speaker 4: That causes confusion.
11:04
Speaker 7: That's part of McDonald's edict to the defense to dictate
11:07
Speaker 7: to the offense.
11:08
Speaker 4: You make the offense react to us.
11:11
Speaker 7: And when you have defensive linemen that can move from
11:14
Speaker 7: different gap to gap depending on the down and distance
11:16
Speaker 7: and play and play call, and oh, by the way,
11:19
Speaker 7: you have a defense that will change those gaps right
11:21
Speaker 7: before the snap, after they line up one way and
11:24
Speaker 7: stem to another, it's chaos for the defensive front that
11:29
Speaker 7: the offensive line, the quarterback and the play car have
11:31
Speaker 7: to deal with. Mills is fitting right into that. He's
11:36
Speaker 7: no different schematically than Leonard Williams. I'm not saying he's
11:38
Speaker 7: Leonard Williams in effectiveness and skill, but he's doing the
11:42
Speaker 7: same thing.
11:43
Speaker 4: And that's how I thought.
11:44
Speaker 7: What made Byron Murphy take a next step last year
11:47
Speaker 7: is that he moved up and down the line and
11:49
Speaker 7: was effective.
11:49
Speaker 4: In all of it. Yeah.
11:51
Speaker 7: It I mean it was a risk. It was a
11:54
Speaker 7: dice roll to take a guy five months removed, not
11:57
Speaker 7: even at the time it was just four months removed
11:58
Speaker 7: from reconstructive knee surgery that ended his career at Notre Dame,
12:02
Speaker 7: draft him in.
12:02
Speaker 4: The fifth round and make him a project.
12:04
Speaker 7: He talked to me yesterday, Riley Mills did about how
12:07
Speaker 7: the Seahawks kept telling him We're not just going to
12:08
Speaker 7: put you on a red shirt year and let you
12:11
Speaker 7: freeze through and rehab all the last season. They told
12:14
Speaker 7: him they were they wanted him back for the playoffs,
12:18
Speaker 7: and he was motivated the entire training camp and end
12:20
Speaker 7: of the season watching practices and stayed involved in film
12:24
Speaker 7: because he knew he was going to play. I thought
12:26
Speaker 7: that was a really subtle but smart way of Mike
12:28
Speaker 7: Donoll's coaching staff to keep Mills engaged instead of just
12:32
Speaker 7: shelving him for an entire season like a lot.
12:34
Speaker 4: Of teams would have.
12:35
Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us, our Seahawks insider joins us
12:38
Speaker 1: nearly every day at this time here during the football season,
12:42
Speaker 1: and of course we were already Ashley and I talking
12:44
Speaker 1: about my inability to multitask. I had to enter some
12:48
Speaker 1: sort of code to unlock information on my computer, and
12:52
Speaker 1: of course I missed the part where you were talking
12:54
Speaker 1: about Riley mills versatility because I can't multitask. Yeah, I apologize.
13:01
Speaker 1: I do that every day, Like I tuned out for
13:04
Speaker 1: like fifteen seconds, and that's apparently the part that I
13:08
Speaker 1: tuned out on. All right, let's talk about Let's talk
13:12
Speaker 1: about that secondary because obviously Emon Worre's outright now, you've
13:16
Speaker 1: got to replace Woolan, You've got to replace Bryan's. How
13:21
Speaker 1: are they doing it so far in camp? Who are
13:23
Speaker 1: the guys that they're plugging in there?
13:25
Speaker 7: Well, the Anthony Bell is getting the reps for Nick
13:28
Speaker 7: Emun Worry as the hybrid linebacker that moves up when
13:31
Speaker 7: they bring in five or six defensive backs. He's been
13:34
Speaker 7: very good doing it. They blitz him off the edge
13:37
Speaker 7: and nobody's blocking him. Devin Witherspoon is playing inside Nickel.
13:41
Speaker 7: When they do go Nickel, he's blitzing and no one's
13:44
Speaker 7: picking him up either. The offense has a blind spot
13:46
Speaker 7: the blitzing right now that Brian Flurry and John Bentman,
13:49
Speaker 7: the offensive staff need to fix the when they go Nickel.
13:54
Speaker 4: It's been the am I A. Pritchett outside.
13:57
Speaker 7: But when you say who's replacing Woolan, they already had
13:59
Speaker 7: to replacement here and they re signed him for eight
14:01
Speaker 7: million dollars a year.
14:02
Speaker 4: That's Josh Job.
14:04
Speaker 7: Woolan was not starting, though he was playing seventy percent
14:07
Speaker 7: of the snaps last year.
14:07
Speaker 4: Remember they had that three corners for two spots thing going.
14:10
Speaker 7: On where they were rotating Job and Woolan and Witherspoon
14:14
Speaker 7: and Witherspoon never.
14:15
Speaker 4: Came off the field in that arrangement, so it was
14:16
Speaker 4: really a platoon.
14:18
Speaker 7: Mariners would have loved it with Job and Woolan at
14:21
Speaker 7: one of the corners.
14:22
Speaker 4: Well, now it's Job spot.
14:24
Speaker 7: The Kobe Bryant spot has been ty O Katta. He's
14:28
Speaker 7: been staying in the back with Julian Love. He Okada.
14:32
Speaker 7: Remember this time last year, you and I were talking
14:34
Speaker 7: about this yesterday. Ocata was just a special teams fringe
14:38
Speaker 7: player on this roster this time last year. Then Jillian
14:41
Speaker 7: Love gets hurt early in the season and misses two months,
14:46
Speaker 7: and he takes love spot in Excels. Then when Love
14:49
Speaker 7: comes back, Kobe Brant gets hurt, so Okata stayed in Alto.
14:53
Speaker 7: Okata ended up starting eleven games last year. And McDonald
14:57
Speaker 7: loves how he just does everything right. Here's the game plan,
15:02
Speaker 7: he execute cutes it perfectly, fundamentals he executes perfectly, picking
15:06
Speaker 7: up the right reads, the right calls, changing from the back.
15:09
Speaker 7: He's uncanny and his sense and his smarts and carrying
15:14
Speaker 7: out what.
15:14
Speaker 4: The coaches want.
15:15
Speaker 7: McDonald loves him, and he looks like he's here to stay.
15:18
Speaker 7: That's part of the reason they didn't try to match
15:21
Speaker 7: Kobe Bryant's offer from the Bears. They love Bryant, but
15:24
Speaker 7: they also really really like Tyle Katta.
15:27
Speaker 1: Bud Clark flashed yesterday.
15:30
Speaker 7: He did Bud Clark the second round pick. Some people think, well,
15:33
Speaker 7: that's probably who should be starting now that Bryan's gone. Well,
15:36
Speaker 7: he's so far I've been strictly on the second team defense.
15:39
Speaker 7: I haven't seen him but for one series when they
15:42
Speaker 7: were going seven to eight defensive backs with three deep
15:45
Speaker 7: safes across the middle in a special prevent defense Monday.
15:48
Speaker 7: That's the only time in spring and summer I've seen.
15:51
Speaker 4: Bud Clark was starting defense.
15:54
Speaker 7: But yesterday Michael Dansby, who's had a really good training camp,
15:57
Speaker 7: the seventh round pick, a cornerback Arizona, made a really
16:01
Speaker 7: nice play on a good pass from jay Let Miller.
16:03
Speaker 7: By the way, Milroe had his best day yesterday in
16:06
Speaker 7: two years. But Danzy tipped the pass to Bud Clark
16:11
Speaker 7: behind him in safety, and Clark intercepts, and as the
16:14
Speaker 7: defense always does, even though the play's over and everyone stops,
16:17
Speaker 7: the defense runs through the huddle and through the guys
16:20
Speaker 7: behind the line and go all the way to the
16:22
Speaker 7: other opposite end zone, and a couple of guys are
16:25
Speaker 7: following them.
16:26
Speaker 4: It looks like kids getting out of school or running
16:27
Speaker 4: on the playground.
16:29
Speaker 7: And when he got to the end zone, Clark grabbed
16:33
Speaker 7: himself and did a nett he plunge back first into
16:35
Speaker 7: the end zone, a Marshawn Lynch move, and then he
16:38
Speaker 7: took the ball and punted it into the crass berm.
16:42
Speaker 4: The fans, the season.
16:42
Speaker 7: Ticket holders there out there yesterday, and I joke to
16:45
Speaker 7: people with standing next to me that, oh, he's obviously
16:48
Speaker 7: trying to get on Hard Knocks because they're going to
16:50
Speaker 7: show that clip on Tuesday in the first episode. But yes,
16:55
Speaker 7: Clark has been somewhat for his personality and his pedigree
16:59
Speaker 7: of being a second around pick. He's been somewhat overshadowed
17:02
Speaker 7: so far because he has been on the second team.
17:04
Speaker 7: But yeah, he made himself known yesterday.
17:07
Speaker 1: And I also want to talk about the receivers with
17:08
Speaker 1: you here today, because man, you know, at the beginning
17:11
Speaker 1: of a year, you're always sort of a lot of fans,
17:16
Speaker 1: a lot of talk show hosts glass half full kind of.
17:18
Speaker 1: You know, Tory Horton's going to take a step forward,
17:21
Speaker 1: and Barner's going to take a step forward, and Jsn's
17:25
Speaker 1: arrived as an elite wide receiver. Well, you know, Price
17:31
Speaker 1: is working on his pass catching every second of every
17:33
Speaker 1: single day. Not everybody can have an upgrade in their
17:38
Speaker 1: production at the wide receiver position. I'm expecting more double
17:42
Speaker 1: tight end. I'm expecting more out of Frankly Barner and
17:45
Speaker 1: Arroyo this year, but maybe not the receivers. I mean,
17:49
Speaker 1: Rashid's making seventeen s Heed's making seventeen million. There's one ball,
17:54
Speaker 1: I think. I don't think they changed that rule in
17:56
Speaker 1: the offseason. There's one ball. So how how is?
17:59
Speaker 4: How is?
18:00
Speaker 1: Does it look like it's going to map out who
18:02
Speaker 1: is going to get more production wide receiver wise, tight
18:05
Speaker 1: end wise, and who's going to have to suffer because
18:08
Speaker 1: of it.
18:10
Speaker 7: It's funny because you're right, I've been doing this since
18:13
Speaker 7: twenty two, twenty four years ago, is when I started
18:16
Speaker 7: covering NFL training camps. Every NFL training camp of every
18:19
Speaker 7: team I've ever covered, it's, oh, we have too many
18:22
Speaker 7: wide receivers. How are we going to find room for
18:24
Speaker 7: how there're not enough footballs for all? And it always
18:27
Speaker 7: works out that they throw the four or five of
18:30
Speaker 7: the same guys and then dudes get hurt and you
18:32
Speaker 7: have to have six or seven ready, and then the
18:34
Speaker 7: seventh and eighth guys play on special team.
18:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of that.
18:38
Speaker 7: Cody White, for instance, deserves a shot. Every time he
18:41
Speaker 7: gets a chance, he performs, he deserves a shot. And
18:44
Speaker 7: yet here he is again the sixth or seventh wide
18:47
Speaker 7: receiver on the roster, Tory Horton. They envision him on
18:52
Speaker 7: the field with Rashid Shaheed as dual deep threat speed guys.
18:57
Speaker 7: They want to see defenses react to that. Okay, now
19:00
Speaker 7: we got to cover two dudes blowing tops off the defense.
19:03
Speaker 7: Then who's gonna cover Smith and jigib Cup and Barner underneath?
19:07
Speaker 4: They will see what that looks like.
19:10
Speaker 7: Brian Flurry, the new offensive coordinator, is gonna throw to
19:12
Speaker 7: the tight ends more, and he's gonna throw to the
19:14
Speaker 7: running backs more than Klin.
19:15
Speaker 4: Kubiak did not the Kubak was wrong.
19:17
Speaker 7: He had a guy that ended up eighteen hundred yards
19:20
Speaker 7: and the Offensive Player of the Year as his wide receiver,
19:22
Speaker 7: and he had a Super Bowl MVP.
19:24
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup is the other one.
19:26
Speaker 7: But Flurry is a tight ends coach. He's not gonna
19:28
Speaker 7: forget the tight ends. AJ Barner. I'm predicting AJ Barner
19:33
Speaker 7: is a Pro Bowl, borderline All Pro tight end this
19:35
Speaker 7: year in this because that's how much they're going to
19:38
Speaker 7: feature him and not how much is going to stay
19:40
Speaker 7: on the field because it can block so he can
19:42
Speaker 7: be there on every down. But those like to your point,
19:46
Speaker 7: those targets have to come from somewhere.
19:48
Speaker 4: You're not gonna add plays.
19:49
Speaker 7: They're not gonna give an extra series and extra downs
19:51
Speaker 7: because they have a lot of receivers. So yes, I
19:54
Speaker 7: could see Smith and jig Well, let's just put it
19:56
Speaker 7: this way. Unless Smith and Jigbit is now, that's all worth.
20:00
Speaker 7: His numbers are gonna go down. He's just going way
20:03
Speaker 7: for eighteen hundred yards. So that's the eighth biggest season
20:07
Speaker 7: in NFL history. They've been playing football for a couple
20:10
Speaker 7: of days.
20:11
Speaker 4: His numbers are gonna go down.
20:13
Speaker 7: Cups, numbers and targets could go down because of Barnard,
20:17
Speaker 7: because of Price, because of Hallani, because of Salbert. Now
20:21
Speaker 7: Nick Bennette's back at tight end. Yes, what you say
20:26
Speaker 7: is exactly right, and they hope they have a problem
20:31
Speaker 7: getting balls to a lot of people. But oh, by
20:33
Speaker 7: the way, this team's still run first, predicated.
20:35
Speaker 4: On the round.
20:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's that.
20:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, fifty of the time they're not even going to
20:39
Speaker 4: be passing the ball.
20:40
Speaker 1: All right, what he got for ten o'clock today, you're gonna.
20:44
Speaker 7: Hear from Cooper Cup at about ten twenty twenty five
20:47
Speaker 7: or so. He really had a nice common sense explanation
20:50
Speaker 7: on why he thinks every NFL stadium should have grasp
20:53
Speaker 7: and how he knows it's possible. It's just whether they
20:56
Speaker 7: want to do it or not. I wonder if the
20:57
Speaker 7: new owners are listening. At eleven o'clock, you're going to
21:01
Speaker 7: hear from Ridley Mills my conversation with him yesterday. Well,
21:05
Speaker 7: I'm sure you've already talked about a chuck, but we're
21:06
Speaker 7: going to talk about how inexplicable that Mariners win when it.
21:10
Speaker 4: Was last night. What your favorite part of it might
21:13
Speaker 4: have been?
21:13
Speaker 7: My and my son watching it, Our favorite part was
21:15
Speaker 7: when roebles Put threw the ball backwards out of his
21:18
Speaker 7: glove from the morning track.
21:21
Speaker 1: I thought of your favorite part they finally hit and
21:24
Speaker 1: your favorite.
21:25
Speaker 7: Part was the best that was because that was inexplicable.
21:28
Speaker 7: I thought Otani was going to get an inside the
21:30
Speaker 7: park come run off that I thought he was not
21:32
Speaker 7: going to stop at third.
21:33
Speaker 4: He had to stop because there's.
21:34
Speaker 1: Nobody got a bad knee, otherwise he might have probably.
21:38
Speaker 7: If he didn't have bad knees, he probably would have
21:39
Speaker 7: scored on that chopper to Naylor and those are all
21:44
Speaker 7: the new Yeah, Well, we're gonna talk about that.
21:46
Speaker 1: All right man, Well we'll be listening. Thank you.
21:48
Speaker 7: Know what, I have you ever seen a major league
21:51
Speaker 7: player throw the ball backwards and he's picking it up
21:53
Speaker 7: from the warning track?
21:54
Speaker 4: That was crazy?
21:57
Speaker 1: I think I probably have. But of all things things
22:00
Speaker 1: to happen, I mean, he play such a clean, focused game.
22:03
Speaker 1: You're outscoring the Dodgers for goodness sake, and then all
22:06
Speaker 1: of a sudden exactly yeah, but they survived. They survived.
22:13
Speaker 1: All right, man, We'll talk to you later, see us soon.
22:15
Speaker 4: Thanks, all right, all right.

Speaker 1: M Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f
22:49
Speaker 1: M eight to ten In studio. We're in studio today
22:52
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks have a day off from training camp today,
22:56
Speaker 1: but we want to get Hughes thoughts on what he
22:57
Speaker 1: saw yesterday and more so he'll be on with us
23:00
Speaker 1: from eight to ten. Excited to have the QB one
23:02
Speaker 1: here in studio with Ashley and myself. But let's get
23:06
Speaker 1: to the abcs of the MS. After the most thrilling
23:09
Speaker 1: win of the entire season last night, a seven to
23:12
Speaker 1: six win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, much needed, no
23:15
Speaker 1: question about that, and the type of win that maybe
23:18
Speaker 1: does catapult this team in the direction that we all
23:21
Speaker 1: believe they can head. I won't say all of us,
23:25
Speaker 1: A lot of us believe that they can head. Maybe
23:29
Speaker 1: it will finally unlock this season, but they've got to repeat, rinse,
23:33
Speaker 1: and repeat going into tonight in Los Angeles against the
23:36
Speaker 1: same damn great team.
23:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is one game at a time.
23:40
Speaker 5: I think I think a lot of us haven't fully
23:42
Speaker 5: given up hope or haven't given up hope that this
23:44
Speaker 5: team can do it. There's a lot of people who
23:46
Speaker 5: are like, it's not still early anymore. Yes, it is,
23:49
Speaker 5: because they can overcome whatever deficit they've got.
23:51
Speaker 3: That's just what I mean, that's all it is. So yes,
23:54
Speaker 3: one game at a time, and I hope they can
23:55
Speaker 3: continue it tonight.
23:56
Speaker 1: Please letters in the alphabet we left off of the
23:59
Speaker 1: letter in MS for murky things get a little murky
24:02
Speaker 1: here tonight. Though we're five days away from the trading deadline.
24:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying tonight's the most important game
24:09
Speaker 1: of the entire season. Maybe last night's was. Maybe in hindsight,
24:15
Speaker 1: will look back on it and we'll have circled that game.
24:18
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the game that Dom Canzone pulled off in
24:20
Speaker 1: Dallas so that we didn't get swept. Maybe it's the
24:22
Speaker 1: three run Homer Cole Young hit the weekend before where
24:25
Speaker 1: it looked like we were going to be embarrassed.
24:28
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
24:29
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna end up being the biggest
24:30
Speaker 1: game of the year, but certainly the games are feeling
24:34
Speaker 1: bigger the further that we go into this season and
24:39
Speaker 1: you're five days away from the trading deadline, and the
24:41
Speaker 1: one name that's being brought up the most is Emerson Hancock,
24:45
Speaker 1: and he's going to pitch the game tonight. He's the
24:48
Speaker 1: starter tonight. I mean, is he auditioning for other teams.
24:53
Speaker 1: Is he has he been told off field, hey, don't
24:58
Speaker 1: listen to the rumors. What ever happened with Emerson Hancock
25:01
Speaker 1: being thrown into the rumor mill? It came from inside
25:06
Speaker 1: the house, yep, from the Mariners to Ken Rosenthal, and
25:09
Speaker 1: now it's running wild, and nobody from inside the house
25:12
Speaker 1: has gotten out in front of it publicly and said no, no, no,
25:15
Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock's not going anywhere. In other words, Emerson Hancock's
25:18
Speaker 1: going to take the mound tonight against the best lineup
25:21
Speaker 1: in the sport, knowing I could be pitching my last
25:25
Speaker 1: game as a Mariner, my last game with my buddies,
25:29
Speaker 1: and I got to go out here and pitch my best.
25:32
Speaker 1: I gotta be a great team player tonight, even though
25:36
Speaker 1: I might not be on this team tomorrow. That's that's
25:40
Speaker 1: what he's confronting psychologically tonight. And I that just can't
25:45
Speaker 1: be easy.
25:46
Speaker 5: No, And you're you're probably thinking, I mean if I
25:49
Speaker 5: would be if I were him? Okay, Well, if I
25:51
Speaker 5: pitch really well, will they keep me? If I pitch
25:54
Speaker 5: really well, does that mean I have a better chance
25:56
Speaker 5: of leaving? I mean, you're I think you'd overthink everything
25:59
Speaker 5: if if you make a mistake, oh now they're going
26:02
Speaker 5: to get rid of me.
26:04
Speaker 1: You simply have to have the mindset MS for mindset
26:07
Speaker 1: that I'm a professional baseball player and I love these guys,
26:12
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give them my all, and if it's
26:15
Speaker 1: my last game, it's my last game, but give me
26:19
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm gonna give these guys, my buddies, my teammates,
26:23
Speaker 1: my friends, this organization, the fans. I'm gonna give them
26:26
Speaker 1: everything I got. And here's the good news. Emerson is
26:30
Speaker 1: cut from that cloth. He will he'll go out there
26:33
Speaker 1: if he gets bade around tonight because the Dodgers have
26:36
Speaker 1: a really great lineup, right, But not because of him,
26:38
Speaker 1: Not because of him, Not because he's going to give
26:40
Speaker 1: some half ass effort, or he's going to be overwhelmed,
26:43
Speaker 1: but we're overwhelmed by worry that he's going to be
26:46
Speaker 1: traded anything like that. But I mean, who knows, maybe
26:51
Speaker 1: the Mariners will press the trade a little bit. Maybe
26:55
Speaker 1: you won't even make them mound tonight. We are in
26:57
Speaker 1: a six man rotation, after all. I mean, there is
27:00
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with a trade going down today and sliding
27:04
Speaker 1: everybody up. EMMS for Miller tonight and then Gilbert pitches
27:08
Speaker 1: the last game of the of the series. So everything's
27:13
Speaker 1: on the table at this point. But it is rather
27:16
Speaker 1: murky the whole Emerson Hancock the Mariners situation right now.
27:21
Speaker 3: It definitely is. That's an app that is a very
27:23
Speaker 3: apt description and is.
27:26
Speaker 1: Far no Moss. All right, this is it for the
27:28
Speaker 1: six man rotation, right I don't want to see it anymore?
27:32
Speaker 1: Hop Yeah, I mean I don't even I never liked
27:34
Speaker 1: it to begin with. I don't want to see it anymore.
27:37
Speaker 1: I mean I think, I mean, we could have thrown Bryce,
27:40
Speaker 1: we could have had an Emerson Hancock who's been better
27:42
Speaker 1: than Castill pitching last night, or a Bryce Miller pitching
27:46
Speaker 1: pitching today. I just don't want to see it anymore.
27:48
Speaker 1: I mean, if Castillo's our fifth best starter because we
27:51
Speaker 1: don't want to activate Kate Anderson yet and roll the
27:54
Speaker 1: dice on that, fine, but I'm tired of seeing our
27:57
Speaker 1: sixth best starter pitching as much as our best starter.
28:01
Speaker 3: I would agree with that he should not be.
28:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's this is it. This is done with. We're
28:06
Speaker 1: done with a piggybacking, we are done with a six
28:08
Speaker 1: man rotation.
28:09
Speaker 4: This is it. This is it.
28:11
Speaker 3: Help.
28:12
Speaker 1: This is the last night of it. And so whatever
28:15
Speaker 1: you do with the trading deadline, whatever you don't do
28:17
Speaker 1: with the trading deadline, lock in on your five best
28:20
Speaker 1: starters and let's go.
28:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, make up your minds right.
28:23
Speaker 1: Oh finally is for Otani, who put on a show
28:28
Speaker 1: again last night. And man, if you're going to come
28:30
Speaker 1: across the letter O in the ABC's of the MS
28:33
Speaker 1: and we're facing the Dodgers, how could I not put
28:36
Speaker 1: Otani there? He is injured last night and it is
28:41
Speaker 1: the reason why we didn't go into extra innings. Sho Otani,
28:45
Speaker 1: along with everything else, one of the best pitchers in
28:47
Speaker 1: the world, one of the best hitters in the world,
28:48
Speaker 1: one of the best power hitters in the world, is
28:51
Speaker 1: also one of the fastest baseball players in the world.
28:54
Speaker 1: And yet right now he's dealing with a knee injury
28:57
Speaker 1: that's keeping him off the mound. Obviously they're you know,
29:02
Speaker 1: he's in the lineup, but you can see he's not
29:04
Speaker 1: one hundred percent and he's at third base with nobody out.
29:09
Speaker 1: Last night, Freddie Freeman hits a high chopper a healthy show.
29:13
Speaker 1: Aotani scores easily on that play, but a baby'd show. Hey,
29:18
Speaker 1: Otani is told by the third base coach, Hey, we're
29:21
Speaker 1: not taking any chances. We know your health is more
29:24
Speaker 1: important than this game or this run. If that's the Mariners.
29:30
Speaker 1: If he's on the Mariners, he's trying to score on
29:32
Speaker 1: that because we needed that game a lot more than
29:34
Speaker 1: the Dodgers needed that game. But that's is baseball, not crazy.
29:40
Speaker 1: That's the way base when people say that's baseball, that's baseball.
29:45
Speaker 1: That show Aotani is the guy at third that hits
29:48
Speaker 1: when Freddy Freeman hits the chopper to our first baseman,
29:51
Speaker 1: and yes it's a drawn in infield, but that was
29:53
Speaker 1: such a high chopper fast healthy, show Aotani scores easily
29:58
Speaker 1: on that play. Instead, I can't risk further injury. My
30:02
Speaker 1: third base coach just reminded me, so anything on the infield,
30:06
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure it goes through otherwise I stick
30:10
Speaker 1: at third base. And then he never scores, so the
30:12
Speaker 1: Mariners end up pulling it off. Choey o'tanni almost took
30:16
Speaker 1: the game from us, but Shoey Otwy and his health
30:20
Speaker 1: preserved the game for us last night.
30:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, because if he's healthy, he's going on contact and
30:25
Speaker 5: there's no question about it.
30:26
Speaker 1: But certainly on a high chopper.
30:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean it's interesting too.
30:30
Speaker 5: Though not interesting, it's sad actually that him not healthy
30:35
Speaker 5: is still better than eight.
30:38
Speaker 3: Percent of other baseball players pretty much. It pretty incredible.
30:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he could pitch too right right now.
30:44
Speaker 3: But yeah, they won't let him.
30:45
Speaker 1: They're not They're not gonna let him for a while.
30:46
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna get reckless at breakfast before Hugh
30:49
Speaker 1: Mellon joins is set to eight o'clock. It's come on,
30:52
Speaker 1: We're five days away from the trading deadline. What do
30:54
Speaker 1: you think I'm gonna do next? Sports Radio ninety three
30:56
Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. This is this is my pitch the
31:00
Speaker 1: Mariner's front office on the type of trade that we
31:04
Speaker 1: are that I would like to see the make. Between
31:06
Speaker 1: now and this has changed for me. I've been all
31:09
Speaker 1: over the board on this. I mean, we've run through
31:11
Speaker 1: a lot of different possibilities throughout the course of trade season,
31:15
Speaker 1: and that's going on two months now. But this is
31:18
Speaker 1: what I'm going to land on and it includes everything
31:22
Speaker 1: that really that we've discussed over the last couple of months.
31:26
Speaker 1: And when I say that, I mean, right now you
31:28
Speaker 1: are in a position which we talked a lot about
31:31
Speaker 1: yesterday on the show, where you're on the outside looking in.
31:36
Speaker 1: At this point, yep, you are also in a seller's market.
31:42
Speaker 1: And suddenly every bat, which is what we need, especially
31:46
Speaker 1: one that it's left handed pitching, is just falling away.
31:50
Speaker 1: Casey Schmidt from the Giants just got put on the
31:52
Speaker 1: IL this week. Spencer Steer from the Cincinnati Reds is
31:55
Speaker 1: off the board. Byron Buxton just left another game last
31:58
Speaker 1: night with a hip issue that won't go away. Plus
32:01
Speaker 1: he's got the no trade clause, and the Twins are
32:03
Speaker 1: actually ahead of us in the wildcard standings at this point.
32:06
Speaker 1: So the market for right handed hitters that hit left
32:13
Speaker 1: handed pitching. The Boston Red Sox completely paid way too
32:19
Speaker 1: much for Curtis Mead from the Washington Nationals, and what happened.
32:24
Speaker 1: Meads first at bat got hit in the wrist. It's broken,
32:26
Speaker 1: and he is out on the injury list and maybe
32:29
Speaker 1: done for the regular season. Crazy crazy, right, Yeah, So
32:33
Speaker 1: I just don't want to overpay for this commodity, I don't.
32:41
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if things are a little more solid,
32:43
Speaker 1: if the team had played better this year, maybe you
32:46
Speaker 1: do make that move, But are we really going to
32:49
Speaker 1: overreach and overpay for the seventh best item at that
32:56
Speaker 1: particular skill set on the market. So here's my suggestion
33:01
Speaker 1: for the trading deadline, because I know this guy's available,
33:05
Speaker 1: but he's not a right handed hitter. It's another left
33:08
Speaker 1: handed hitter. I'm gonna say cj Abrams of the Washington Nationals.
33:13
Speaker 1: He is leading the National League runs batted in. He
33:16
Speaker 1: has an incredible talent, He is an incredible athlete. There
33:20
Speaker 1: are some issues with him. Defensively, he's worse. He's the
33:25
Speaker 1: only shortstop in the game metrics wise, that's worse than
33:28
Speaker 1: JP Crawford. Oh, and obviously the Nationals don't want to
33:34
Speaker 1: build around him for whatever reason they are making the decision.
33:39
Speaker 1: That's not a piece of our future. That is not
33:41
Speaker 1: a foundation that we want to build around. James Wood, yes,
33:45
Speaker 1: but not cj Abrams. So I think there are some
33:47
Speaker 1: attitude things that you also take on when you trade
33:51
Speaker 1: for cj Abrams, But none of that is getting in
33:53
Speaker 1: the way of him just destroying pitchers this year righty's
33:58
Speaker 1: or lefties, not so much much lefties, but certainly righty's
34:02
Speaker 1: and he's certainly been good against lefties. He's been phenomenal
34:07
Speaker 1: against right handers. So with two years left on his
34:10
Speaker 1: deal plus what you would get this year, you're only
34:14
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him arbitration for the next two
34:16
Speaker 1: and a half seasons. This is sort of the Randy A.
34:19
Speaker 1: Rose Arena move that you made a couple of years ago,
34:22
Speaker 1: where you were on the outside looking in if you remember,
34:25
Speaker 1: but maybe we catch lightning in the bottle and almost
34:28
Speaker 1: did down the stretch when they made the change from
34:30
Speaker 1: Scott to Dan and almost got into the playoffs. In
34:33
Speaker 1: a Rose Arena, you added the best bat at the
34:37
Speaker 1: deadline that year, but he was a bat that had
34:40
Speaker 1: two years remaining of control, So you got him for
34:44
Speaker 1: three pushes and that's what you get in CJ. Abrams
34:48
Speaker 1: and Randy Rose Arena is important to bring up because
34:52
Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena is a free agent at the end
34:54
Speaker 1: of the year and there is zero chance they're bringing
34:57
Speaker 1: him back.
34:58
Speaker 4: Zero.
34:58
Speaker 1: So CJ. Abrams, he's an infielder right now, but a
35:01
Speaker 1: bad defensive infielder. You bring over you DH and then
35:08
Speaker 1: in the off season, because he's such an athlete, you
35:12
Speaker 1: put make him an outfielder.
35:13
Speaker 4: You put him.
35:14
Speaker 1: He replaces Randy A. Rose arena in your outfield left
35:18
Speaker 1: field for you, and work on it all off season.
35:22
Speaker 1: Don't wait till spring training. Work on it all off season.
35:25
Speaker 1: And then there is your handoff. Like financially, there's your handoff.
35:30
Speaker 1: You know, attitude, there's your handoff, athleticism, there's your handoff.
35:35
Speaker 1: But you're getting a much more talented player than even
35:38
Speaker 1: Randy A Rose arena if you add CJ. Abrams. So
35:41
Speaker 1: we did not satisfy the need for a right handed hitter.
35:45
Speaker 4: Right.
35:46
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do is, and I've been very
35:49
Speaker 1: reluctant to do it, I'm going to include Las Montes
35:52
Speaker 1: in this trade. WHOA I'm gonna put the guy with
35:55
Speaker 1: fifty homer potential but is not ready to contribute to
36:00
Speaker 1: this team. I'm gonna put him in this trade along
36:02
Speaker 1: with Emerson Hancock. And now, all of a sudden, the
36:05
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals, who need pitching in their organization, have added
36:08
Speaker 1: Conley Early and Emerson Hancock in the last week as
36:11
Speaker 1: a foundation for a brand new rotation for them going forward. Meanwhile,
36:15
Speaker 1: the Mariners have added a truly gifted offensive player in
36:20
Speaker 1: more ways than one, because he'll steal seventy bags for you.
36:23
Speaker 1: That's how fast CJ. Abrams is and he can hit
36:25
Speaker 1: fifty homers. That's what we're talking about here in CJ. Abrams.
36:30
Speaker 1: So I'm going to trade Montes and keep Arroyo. And
36:34
Speaker 1: now Arroyo gets called up, and that's the right hander,
36:38
Speaker 1: and it's been talked about. I didn't come up with this.
36:39
Speaker 1: A lot of people are talking about this. Arroyo is
36:42
Speaker 1: the right hander that we add at the trading deadline,
36:45
Speaker 1: the right handed hitter, and of course somebody's got to
36:49
Speaker 1: come off the field of Arroyos going to play. I
36:52
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with cold Emerson because the
36:54
Speaker 1: Mariners never shared an injury in Freedom. You know how
36:59
Speaker 1: I feel about JP Crawford. If I benched, I don't
37:01
Speaker 1: have any problems personally benching JP Crawford, and I am
37:05
Speaker 1: perfectly okay with saying the next ten years of Mariners
37:09
Speaker 1: baseball Coley Young at second, Michael Arroyo at short, Colt
37:13
Speaker 1: Emerson at third base, it starts today. I don't have
37:17
Speaker 1: any problem with that going forward. Arroyo is hitting three
37:20
Speaker 1: twenty four at Tacoma right now with a nine hundred OPS.
37:24
Speaker 1: Maybe he's the right handed bet that we add to
37:27
Speaker 1: the lineup rather than overpay on the market for someone.
37:31
Speaker 1: So that's the move I'm making. That gives me Naylor
37:34
Speaker 1: at first, which, by the way, that wrist injury looks weird.
37:37
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. It does not look right.
37:40
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan might be our first baseman when he comes
37:43
Speaker 1: back from the injury list. There's a chance of that,
37:46
Speaker 1: but for now, we're going to assume Naylor's playing. We
37:48
Speaker 1: got Donovan as our now super utility player. Abrams is
37:52
Speaker 1: our DH, Randy's our left fielder, Julio's our centerfielder, and
37:55
Speaker 1: Can Zone's our full time right fielder. That's what I'm
37:58
Speaker 1: rolling with. I'm gonna roll with coming out of the
38:01
Speaker 1: trading deadline. That's my lineup with and I got to
38:05
Speaker 1: make a decision between Luke Rayley might not have a
38:07
Speaker 1: place on this team, so he's another guy that you
38:10
Speaker 1: might be able to trade. So my trade is Montes
38:14
Speaker 1: Hancock and another prospector to lower level for CJ. Abrams
38:19
Speaker 1: and relief pitcher Clayton Beater, twenty seven year old flamethrower
38:23
Speaker 1: from the Washington Nationals. That's my trade deadline move by
38:27
Speaker 1: big move for the Mariners before the deadline hits in
38:30
Speaker 1: five days.
38:32
Speaker 3: I don't know. Trading Las Montes hurts my hurts me
38:35
Speaker 3: a lot, Well, sure so I hurt.
38:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
38:38
Speaker 3: I think it'd be one of those trades where I
38:40
Speaker 3: was like, Okay.
