• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Greg will be coming up at ten o'clock today. We
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: got a lot to discuss on the program today. It's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: been a while. I think I've been on my best
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: behavior that I've talked about driving on the way in.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: It has been a while, it has, right, Yeah, yeah,
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I mean us do it a lot and then I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like check myself before I literally wrecked myself.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Smart.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I got to point out this one because
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I think this one's kind of unique to and I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: don't think it's Seattle. I think it's what drivers have
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: become in the last ten years. Ok So, and I've
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: lived in Seattle for the last ten years, so I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: don't think this is geographic. And it's still not number
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: one on the list of the driver that I despise most, Okay,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: but I will say it is the infraction that happens
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: most frequently as of late, and really this person is
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: climbing my list. So I literally had somebody who didn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: want to wait behind the person in front of them, Yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: come over without any indication and cut me off even
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: though there was not much room. If I didn't have
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: good reflector you know, yeah reflection, Yeah, then there could
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have been an accident. Not saying there would have been,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: but there could have been polls in front of me
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: with very little margin of error and then looks up
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in their rear view mirror and is angry that I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: tailing them.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, sounds about right, said about right. I don't
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: know that that is not exclusive to Seattle. Honestly, that
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: is a very Seattle thing.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I think that it is.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But I think that it's also like, Okay, you go
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to Arizona and I spent fifteen years in Arizona, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you get on the one oh one, you might get
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: run over by somebody driving one hundred and seventy five
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: miles prour.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a dangerous roadway.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And if you've never been on that road before and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you don't know what to expect, you could be and yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you can get the scared out of you. Yeah, okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: but here like as of late, Like my issue has
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: been the person that there's not enough room for you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to move over, but you did it anyway without any indication,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and then in the midst of doing it, you decided
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to put your turn signal on to let me know
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that you doing it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It was too late.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I couldn't prepare, I couldn't back off to let you in.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I couldn't speed up so that you knew there's not enough.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Space there, and somehow yet it's your responsibility to let
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: them run.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: They clearly this person did not look to see if
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: anyone was behind them or to the side right, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: then they got over there and like, oh my gosh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: there's somebody behind me.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: What a jerk, he's tailing me. I had that experience
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: That sounds super fun.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're really you're really marching up the list. By
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the way, whoever that guy is that guy there's not
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: enough space, but he pulls in front of you anyway,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and then is angry that you're tailing them. That guy
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is not number one on the list, but he's pretty
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: close these days.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's my list as long when it comes to drivers, honestly,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and I love the people that do that. And then yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: you're at fault somehow and they'll end up flipping you
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: off and you're like.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Wait, what am I?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: How am I now getting a middle finger after I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: literally just here on the road and you're the one
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: being a turred. And there was a guy that was
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I was trying I get a mercer after work one day,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and I know the express lanes only open at like
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: eleven fifteen, so they weren't open, so it's metered, so
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I go to my meter. Well, this guy didn't want
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: to be slowed down by the constraints of lights.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Whatever was in front of them, right, they couldn't. Possibly,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm too.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Good for this, right, And so I'm driving at a
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: normal speed, ready to get on a freeway. Yeah, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: he comes zooming up in the left lane like which
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: is where the express lanes are, which then close, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: then gets pissed that the express lanes are blocking him.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: So then he gets behind me and then I'm not
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: going eighty on the ramp, so I'm the jerky. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: was like how And then I end up feeling bad
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: for I'm like, how do I feel bad?
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Or how am I irritated that I didn't even do anything?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Wrong here.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think I do think it is a young person
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. I don't know if they ever use
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: their mirrors.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I don't. There's just this I can't possibly stay here.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and so are ruining things for me like the
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: rest of us.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Don't want to go faster and have a clearer path too. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but there's this element and that's what I ran into today.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I don't want to stay here. Everything else be damned.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get over and then, oh my gosh,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this jerk is so close behind me. Yeah,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: maybe that guy's listening. He might be a sports talk radular.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We hope you keep listening.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But you're that guy.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you are a turn.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Just know and if you know, that's cool, you know what,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: you can keep being a turd.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: But don't then blame the other guy. Yeah, that's it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Just acknowledge, you know what. I realize. I drive like
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: an a hole.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: That's it, that's it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just don't make me feel bad that you drive
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: like an a hole.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now, when we did pass and the fingers were exchanged
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and the lip reading was exchanged, he did back off
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and not whatever.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, didn't shoot you?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't shoot me, and he didn't like want
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to keep the conversation going that really Yeah, So it
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was I mean, you do run the risk if you're
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: going to be if you're gonna be me, that's situation.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You do run the risk that you're going to run
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: into road rage.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Which is yeah again, which would have been somehow your
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: fault that that guy has an anger problem.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that happened today, and I know people can relate,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: so I shared.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: That all fired up already speaking of road rage.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Brian wus got it too. He can't win on the road, Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I get that. Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And last night he lost to the Miami Marlins, And
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just a it's just obviously a major
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: hurdle because he was not missing bats last night. He
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was not having like oh man, what bad luck? Like
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: no you were. You go from nobody can touch you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: at home to your getting lit on the road.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And then there have been some I'll take that back
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I'll back a track a little bit.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He's had some because this this to me, has been
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the bigger problem for Brian on the road is that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: one inning. I talked it up the last time to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: there's some psychological hurdle, and I believe that that is true.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: His stuff's no difference. His stuff might actually be a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: little bit better than it was a year ago. But
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: there's obviously when he gets into some trouble on the road,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he is expecting it to fall apart. I do believe
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that that is true. There's really no other explanation. Stuff's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: no different. The batting eye might be different, but it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: not that much different. You can't just go from a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: sub to RA when you pitch at home to a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: seven RA when you pitch on the road, and it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: stuff related, or at least entirely stuff related. I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: it's more mental with him last night, he didn't have
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that one inning. He just kept giving up hits and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was kind of fortunate to get out.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Of there with his little damage, as was done by
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the Marlins last night.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And so that set the table for the game, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I realized we came back, which I think is actually.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: A good sign.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And we came back not just relying
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: on the home run ball, and we caught a couple
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of breaks along the way and took advantage of them.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: And Cal had two doubles, which was great.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Cal had two doubles.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: That's a tremendous sign that maybe he's getting going because
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna need him. That's gonna be the most important
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: thing about the second half of the season is just
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: getting Cal back to at least twenty twenty four cow
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: even if we don't get twenty twenty.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Five col back.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Ever, again, we at least won twenty twenty four colback
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and maybe we're starting to move in that direction. Maybe
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: we'll get that in the second half. If we get that,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are going to be they're gonna pull away
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in this division. But certainly there were some good things,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but I mean, it came down last night too, in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: my opinion, Brian Woo's road struggles and then of course
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the ongoing struggles of this team to hit with runners
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: in scoring position, because they squandered. Even though they scored
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: five runs last night and came back from a significant
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: deficit to do that, they still squandered many opportunities to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: add a run here, a run there.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: A lot of runs with the bases loaded, but at least.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Getting one run out of that situation. You get one
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: run out of that situation. You went in regulation, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you end up losing the game six to five.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've thrown this out it I know it
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: sounds outlandish. I mean, it shouldn't come to this again.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: We have a good problem that we have too many
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: starting pitchers for too few of rotation spots. So we're
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: all trying to think of a solution, and we're all
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: trying to think a little bit outside the box. But
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: as long as we're banging our head against the wall
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: on this thing, and we don't want anyone to be shortened.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean I threw this out two rounds ago in
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the rotation Brian his last road blow up. I mean,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: maybe you do pitch him at home and pitch Castillo
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: on the road, and then Wu works out of relief.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: On the road.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: If stay warmed up.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean you don't want to ignore him.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: He's he's got a roster spot. But then he works
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: out of his road woes coming out of the bullpen,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and if he can fix those, then he immediately goes
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: back into the starting rotation. But if we're going to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: try to invent piggyback situations and we want to go
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to six man rotations, which are keeping Logan Gilbert and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock and now George Kirby's on a roll. It's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: keeping them delayed from being able to contribute. I mean,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that's the reason why you have five man rotations, because
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you want Trek Scouble to pitch every sixth game. Want
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you know, one and then one and one. You want
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: only four games to be played in between his starts.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So we're costing our better pitchers who are on a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: roll and aren't having road and home issues. We're costing
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: them more starts. And so that's why I don't think
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the six man rotation is the solution, and it seems
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that the organization has realized that the piggyback's not the solution.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So if as long as we're being creative, as long
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: as we're just sitting here brainstorming and trying to think
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of ideas of how best to do this, I don't
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe we do kick the tires on.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Brian wu and Luis Castillo are in the rotation, but
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Brian pitches the home games and Castillo starts the road games.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the way it. We should try it coming
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: out of the second half of the season, and of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: course after the All Star break, they're gonna reset with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: whatever plan. I mean, they're not gonna I would think
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna keep experimenting into the second half. I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: would think they're gonna use the All Star break to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: say this is what we're going with going forward, bottom line,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: final answer. And so as long as we're sitting here
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: discussing ideas on how to do this and we're trying
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to get inventive, I mean, I don't I don't think
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it's just a fluke. I think it's a trend. He
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: can't pitch on the road as well as he pitches
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: at home. Should we entertain the possibility of creatively doing
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: this until Brian Wu proves I don't have road issues anymore.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it's a bad idea because
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: at this point, you, as you said, you've tried everything right,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: and if the six man rotation isn't working for people,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: although it does seem that they're pitching well now three
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: times through the six man lately, so I don't know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe it is working even though we're not getting to
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: see some of these guys as often. Maybe it is
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: the answer, But I my only concern with that would
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: be coming out of the All Star break, you just said,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: you know you want you don't want to be experimenting anymore.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: You want to kind of have a plan. And then
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: that feels like it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Would almost still be an experiment, but it's one that
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I would be willing to try well.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: And let me let's clear everything off the table. I mean,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I've said at the beginning of all of this, when
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller got activated, and that's the beginning of all
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of yes, when Bryce Miller got activated and we realized
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we can't take Emerson Hancock out of the starting rotation,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's the that's the seed that grew
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: into this tree. And so Miller's proven, no, I'm not
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: only one of the best.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Of you, I might be the best of you.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Hancock's probably been an All Star. Gilbert's on fire right now.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And George, I mean George statistically is the is though
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: he and Luis are the weak links. Yeah, I mean,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: George is averaging allowing a two seventy nine batting average against.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: That's not good.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: That's not good for someone of his talent, but you
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: have seen him turn it around here. As of late,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he has been described as our most talented pitcher for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: years now, and if he is starting to figure it out,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you don't want to mess with that. But Brian wu
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: has also been spectacular the last two years, pitch for pitch,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: inning for inning. He's been our best pitcher the last
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: two seasons, and yet this year he's having this road issue.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that if we clear all
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the gunk away and we are just looking for the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: best five starting pitchers, Castillo's on the out looking on
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the outside looking in, even.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Though he has been yet much better.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: He has been much better as of late.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But if we do want to just say, hey, we
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: traditionally go with a five man rotation, we want to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: go with a five man rotation. We're done playing gimmicks,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: We're done doing goofy experimental stuff like even the suggestion
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that I've made, then you just have to have the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: honest conversation with him. He's our sixth best starter on
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: our major league roster. I think he's the seventh best
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: starter in the organization, maybe the eighth, but to me
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: it would be it would be kind of strange to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: get through all of this and then just arrive at
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the same conclusion we had at the beginning of it,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and that is that Luis Castillo is our sixth best starter,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and if we're going to go to a five man rotation,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the sixth best starter is the guy that's going to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: be moved to the bullpen. And maybe that's what we
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: learned during the All Star break. Maybe we come out
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of the gates and that's exactly what's going to happen.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It seems like an awful lot of fiery hoops to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: jump through to arrive at the same conclusion we kind
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of realized at the beginning of Bryce Miller's activation.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and at the same time, you still haven't solved
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Brian Wu's road issues.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: And you still haven't solved that, yeah, exactly.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, it is.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I mean I was optimistic going into last night, like
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: maybe now after that last game, I mean, he was
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: really dominant. Maybe something's going to carry over and it
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: wasn't as bad and he didn't have one blow up
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: any but he just isn't. It's just still so different
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: than what we're seeing at home. And I just wish
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: we had wish there was an answer, I really do.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: And then as far as the sixth man to five
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: man rotation, Yeah, it would be frustrating to have gone
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: through two and a half months of piggyback sixth man,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: piggyback six man, someone's got to go to the bullpen.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: What's happening.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: We're going to piggyback and now we're not going to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: piggyback on the day of all of it too yet
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: to say, all right, well, yeah, what we thought two
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: and a half months ago, and that's actually probably.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: What we're going to do.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I don't have a problem with that.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's probably better than well, I know
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it is. It's better than what I'm throwing out this
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: morning about Wu becomes a home Warrior.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: But at least I like that because it solves the
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: road issue.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: It is an idea.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a thought, right, and as long as we're
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: trying to be creative and we don't want to hurt
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Luis's feelings, then maybe it's something that you do try
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: coming out of the second half.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: And it gives WU some relief. So okay, I can
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: just figure he's not gonna like it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think so, but I think that he's
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna be happy about it, like oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: now nobody trusts me on the road, but maybe it
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: gives him some time to get over whatever it is
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: on the road. Well, to me, pitch more angry at home, sure,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: at this.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Professional baseball And to me, that's a little more cut
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and dry, Like I don't know if I'm if I'm
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: managing a team, I'm being a little more cut and dry.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like sitting down and I'm just saying, hey, we
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: have a five man rotation and right now you're the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sixth best guy.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we love you. And if it was different.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Circumstances, that'd be different circumstances. And I'd also I don't
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and Brian Wu's got to solve.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: These road issues.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: We could really use got him Brian Wu going forward.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And yet that was not a good version of him
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: last night. It wasn't just one ugly inning. No, he
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: was not sharp at any point during that outing.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Well and last night and watching the broadcast too, when
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: they say when they're like, oh, he's just struggling with
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: his command, and his next pitch is a wild pitch
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: that scores a run, it's like it just piled on.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: And for the record, I did not have a problem
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: with Dan Wilson's decisions last night with the bullpen. Maybe
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: there are a couple things I would have done differently,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: but I think that is nitpicking.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I think he did what I probably would have done.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe I would have done a couple things a little
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: bit differently, But I.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Did not think that Dan's pitching decisions cost us the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: game last No, Yeah, all right, we'll probably talk about
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that more later on in the show as well.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Let's find out what's on tap.

• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Mspadoo Miami six to five at ten innings last night.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: We'll cover the details in Mariners Morning after here in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a matter of minutes, same two teams play today at
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the exact same time. First pitch at three point forty
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in South Beach, George Kirby versus right hander Tyler Phillips.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Mariner's notes, Dom can Zung was notified you're an everyday
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: player now.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: They are kind of doing the things that I said
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to do. A long time ago.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Also, All Star replacements were named, a lot of them
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in the National League. Some guys injured, some guys just
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to pitch in the All Star Game.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'll ever understand.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: That, but several of them were named yesterday All Star replacements.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But on the National League side, I mean, there's still
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a very good chance we're gonna have another Mariner or
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: two added to the roster because of injury decisions and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: also just guys that the calendar doesn't work out and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: they don't want to pitch on Tuesday.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're gonna have more than Randy
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Rose Arena representing the team on Tuesday. MLB Draft is
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: just three days away. World Cup action yesterday again created
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of buzz everywhere Argentine. It comes down from
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: two nil, which is like coming down back from a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: seventy two point deficit in the NBA, and the fourth
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: quarter seventy two it really is in the fourth quarter.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Nonetheless, it was baffling watching that game. We're listening to
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: that game, I should say, I was like, wait, what
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: is happening? Can't imagine how much Anders was freaking.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Out Andrews Well, he soiled his pants yesterday and so
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: he's cleaned up.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have him on today at nine o'clock.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: He smells much better, smells like a daisy now, so
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: we'll have him on at nine o'clock today. We'll also
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: talk about Team USA looking forward to next.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: World Cup again.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Wimbledon continues, finals will be this weekend. We remain on
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Lebron Watch. He still hasn't chosen his next team. That's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the big story in the NBA, and maybe the big
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: story in the NHL is Shane Wright. Watch as the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Kraken have made it pretty clear they're trying to trade him.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Shane Wright and his agent have made it pretty clear
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: he wants out, and yet how is that going come together?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: We will ask our own guy Ian forness today at
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: seven o five. But Mariner's Morning After is next. We'll
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: go through the details of last night's lost to the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Marlins right here on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, wait, they have a.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Wow. I'm saying they're rubbing it in.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they are salts.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: They're the type of person that would tell you when
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: they see you for the first time while man, you've
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: gained some weight. That that's the type of people disturbed
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: are total jerks, is what they are.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: That's a word that's unword to use.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: That's the better word than what I want to use.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: That starts with a D.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Mariners morning after it is Chuck and Buck
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on the morning here and we do our postgame show
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: after every Mariner game.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: We just do it the morning after.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I highlight a sound by the preview of what's going
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: on tonight. The Mariners were in Miami taking on the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Miami Marlins. A different team than what we've seen the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: last few years. They're actually pretty good seven games over
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: five hundred heading into last night. They're pitching pretty well,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they're hitting pretty well, and boy do they run and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: create havoc on the base paths, and we got a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: little bit of a taste of that. Brian Wu was
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: not sharp once again on the road. He did allow
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the Marlins to grab a four to nothing lead at
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: one point, but the Mariners did battle back. They scored
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: twice in the fifth, then put a lot of base
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: runners on in the sixth inning, and then couldn't bring
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: anybody else across the plate. But just when you'd given
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: up hope that they wouldn't get it done, in the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: eighth inning, they took advantage of all sorts of quirky
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: baseball stuff and ended up taking a lead in the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: game at five to four, with Spire and Munnos rested
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to close it out. Unfortunately, gab Spire gives up a
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a right handed hitting pinch hitter.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: And it that was no fluke. That one left the yard.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was a Curtifly and I guess it was.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Gabe was overdue to have a bad moment. I'm not
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: gonna worry about.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: That at all.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: But Andre's Munnos got you to the tenth inning, Mariners
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: unable to score, and the top of the tenth despite
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: being given that runner at second automatically where the Marlins
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: did take advantage against our fifth reliever that we had
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to use in the game last night. Michael Rucker more
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: on that in a moment. But the Marlins walk it off.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: This is going to do it is.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: The walk up.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: He's hit it off the bat of Jacob Brci, the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Marlins winning in ten, six to five a TA eight one.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Mariners TV Aaron Goldsmith on the call, as the Marlins
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: do win in ten innings by a final score of
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: six to five, and they improved to fifty to forty
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: two on the year, the Mariners fall to forty seven
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and forty five. I mean, there were some good things
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: certainly about it. Showed some fight, you know, did take
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: advantage of a few run scoring opportunities, didn't exclusively rely
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: on the home run, even though Cole Young did hit
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: his tenth of the season last night. And the bullpen,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Gabe Spier gave up the run, but
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I think we can forgive him considering how good he's been.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I actually didn't have a problem with Dan Wilson's bullpen usage.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I actually was a little bit encouraged because he went
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: to Ferrara and the sixth inning down two as opposed
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to going to the lesser of our relief guys. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that's something that I've been preaching about a lot this year,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: so I kind of look at that as progress. So
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a big problem with Dan Wilson's pitching decisions.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, you go to the tenth inning, you have
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: four guys that you rely on versus five and now
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you got to use a fifth guy. They go to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Michael Rucker and he doesn't get the.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Job done again, And I think that's what the only
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: thing that I saw that people were questioning is, you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: couldn't Mooney have gone back out?
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: But they don't.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: They haven't operated that way all year, So why would
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: they have started it last night?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: And I'd have loved it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear what you're saying.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's absolutely right that he threw nine pitches. At
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: some point, he's going to be allowed to go back out, Right,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: at some point game, Spire is going to be allowed
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to go an inning in the third. But they haven't
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: done it all season. And you put it, well, why
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: would last night have been the night that they broke that?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: So I wasn't surprised at all. Yeah, because I hadn't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: done it yet. Maybe that was the night to break
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it out. But you're so close to the All Star break,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: did you really think? I mean, we're still going to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: get angry about this every single night. Now. I get
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: angry when they only use Spire for a third of
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: an inning. Yeah, that's annoying because that's nonsense. But or
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that if you use a guy for a third of
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: an inning, and only a third of an inning. He
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: throws two pitches and then does it and then he's done,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and then he's done. Yeah, that's just waste. That's wasteful. Yes,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm not surprised and I don't think we should
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: be angry at this point that they have elected not
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to throw munnos more than an inning. They haven't done
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it all season long. And yes, there is an element
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: of this has to be brought up again, and it
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: won't be the last time. They as well as just
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: about every organization in baseball, all gathered Jerry Justin, Dan
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Pete Cow's part of it. They all are, I mean,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: maybe not all five of them in a conference room
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: every day. But yes, there are rules that are discussed
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that come down from on high about usage and things
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of that nature. Dan Wilson does have some restrictions, but
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: for and it won't be the last time, but I'd
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: like for it to be the last time. Dan then
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: takes those rules and he makes the decisions in game
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: for the last time. And I don't know how many
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: times I got to say this. I've asked on air,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I've asked off air. All three parties and they have
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: all told me, no, those are my response. Those are
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Dan's responsibilities, the end game decisions, the lineup. Yes, there is,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: there is contributions, there is feedback, there is input.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Input.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: That's a better way from the front office, more so
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: than ever in the history of the sport.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: But every organization does that.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And yes, I think there are some rules because they
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: are thinking about the big picture and they don't want
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Munyos to go two innings. And we can disagree with that,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: we can, we can butt heads with that opinion of theirs,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: but the idea is because they want those guys to
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: be healthy all season long and at the end of
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the year. So yes, they do have some rules that
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson's got to dance his way through. But once
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the game begins using those rules, Dan makes the decisions. Okay,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: So I know, I know that's a jerry and justin
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: edict that Munyos is not going more than an inning.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: We'll let you know when it's okay to do that.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah to me, Yeah, I don't know this for a fact,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: but I believe that is a front office decision. I
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: think that's one of the rules that they give Dan
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that he has to abide by.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: But that third of an inning thing, that one's bs,
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: That one's Dan.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nobody's preaching that we only want Spire to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: pitch one pitch tonight.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Nobody's preaching that. Now.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: They might have a rule about we don't want him pitching,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: sitting and going back out again. They might have that
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: rule with Gabe and Brash and Bizardo, they might have
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: that rule. That might be one Dan asked to abide bye,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But nobody's saying, pitch Gabe one third of an inning.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That's on Dan.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So yes, there's input, no question about it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And and front offices swing a heavier hammer when it
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: comes to those decisions than ever before.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: But it's not them. They're not on a phone, they're
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: not texting him in the game. Do this, do that?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: The end game decisions and the lineup, those are Dan's calls,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and I've been assured of that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: That's what we've said.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: He struggles with is to make those calls with those rules.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: And he was much better when all he had to
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: worry about was winning. So clearly he is struggling with
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: the rules.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, there are too many rules, and it's bogging him down.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Here's Dan after the game.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: You know, got behind uh Ta Meyer there for nothing,
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: and uh, you know, we started to crawl our way
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: back and I you know, really they kept fighting and
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: and uh, you know, we're able to create some chances
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: for us, and offensively, we put some guys on base,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: put ourselves in some good positions, and we were able
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: to capitalize on some.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Of them, and and uh, you know, be able to
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: take the lead there in.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: The eighth was huge, and uh you know, they able
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: to tie it right back up and and uh you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: always a momentum swing there with that. But you know,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: our guys continue to fight. I thought we put up
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: more good at and you know, just uh weren't able
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: to come up on top of that one. And and
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: uh it's you know, it's it's a it's a tough one.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: You know, the close ones like that are are are
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: a little bit more tough.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Tough to deal with.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: But you know, it was a good fight from beginning
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: to end. But uh, you know, just not to not
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: enough to get over them tonight.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson after the game. Here's another part of this has.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: To be mentioned in Mariner this morning after I mean
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: two of thirteen with the runners in scoring position.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: That was also a major contributor.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was bad.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: So Brian Wu's road struggles. Four runs allowed in five
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: innings and he gave up nine hits too, so it's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: not like he just had one bad inning and then
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: again not capitalizing. They scored five runs most nights. That's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: gonna win you the game with this pitching staff, but
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: not capitalizing. He had a basis loaded nobody out sixth
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: inning and didn't score a run. You know, you get
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you go three for thirteen and you win. Yeah, sons
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: hitting the runners in scoring position.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And Brian Wu's road struggle. Those are the two reasons.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: We lost last night, basically, Yeah, all.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Right, we'll talk more about it later on in the program,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: but coming up next it is the match that nearly
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: cost our own Anders Hearst his life. Sports Radio ninety
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM, All right, headlines coming out at
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Also in for Net's gonna join us here this morning.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It's a seven o five, A lot of questions about
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: exactly where the crack can stand. With Shane Wright, He's
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: probably got more answers than any of us, So we're
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: gonna ask him about that, coming up at seven o five.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Here this morning.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Also, Andrews Hurst is going to join us at nine o'clock,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: so we have this one opportunity to talk behind his back,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: because my goodness, what a nervous wreck he was yesterday.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Argentina. He you know, he has a
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: split household. He's American, his wife's Argentinian, and of course
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: they have a baby, so that little suckers half and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: half yep on that front. So there's going to be
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: an ongoing war in the Hurst household as to which
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: team he's going to root for when he grows up.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: There's no getting around it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, Bucky got the power to brainwash his child
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: into being a Broncos fan from the outset. I don't
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: think his wife cared that much. But Ander's wife cares,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: That's right, she really cares, and she is going to
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: put together a recruiting campaign for that child. So it's
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: already Anders's best hope is that he gets a close
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to fifty to fifty split as he possibly can. But
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure Anders is a fifty percent US fan.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I think maybe he leans more toward his wife and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Argentina now and because I've never seen seeing anyone more nervous.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I went up to him just to look
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: over his shoulder to see where the match was yesterday,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and it was two to two at the time, and
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: he goes, if you're over here to talk, I'm not talking.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's far more he was. He had his jersey on.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: He's far more he was. When was it Jessman asked him, Hey,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: how are you doing today? He goes, oh, nervous or
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: stressed or something. She goes, oh my god, what's wrong,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: like thinking there was something going on she could help with.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: He goes this game, yeah, I mean he was beside himself.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: He was beside himself.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: So he was he was at risk in his household,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: having lost both of his favorite national soccer teams to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: elimination in the World Cup, and they came dangerously close
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: before pulling it off. I mean, they're talking about this
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: like being the greatest comeback ever. It's very strange to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: think about it in those terms, because you know, you're
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: coming back from a two gold deficit, and yet even
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: even novices like myself know and have joked about forever
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: like a too nothing. Deficit is like trailing by sixty
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: points in basketball. And so once it was two nil,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and once you're inside like what fifteen minutes to go
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: in the match, even though you know there's going to
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: be extra time, it really looked like Argentina was going
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to be eliminated, which probably would have been the shock
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: of the entire tournament.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: I love the chaos.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And somehow they come back and they win. They didn't
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: even need penalty kicks. Now they scored three goals in
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes, no time flat yep, messy scoring twice.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: And so to me, it kind of begs the question
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: like it kind of feels like Argentina can score whenever
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: it really wants to or needs to. So why aren't
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: they up twelve to two?
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: It's a fair question.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: And also like that's just rude to make Egypt think
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: they had a chance. You should have scored early and
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: then maybe sure Egypt knew.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: All right, we're out of this, guys.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Firstus letting them go up to nothing there till the
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: seventy ninth minute when you decide to score your first goal.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: It's just rude. Argentina, don't mess with people like that.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Don't mess with me Argentina.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: Oh great song, A very famous famous song.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: The truth is vr VR it saved you.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: We have more controversy on that front as well. Egypt
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: not happy with the review process in all of this
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: as well. But it's weird. Lionel Messi's legend just continues
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to grow, and man, it is at a level. I mean,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it just kind of it's hard for me to put
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: him in its proper perspective because I don't quite.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Get what he's doing.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I don't either, Yeah.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: And yet those in the soccer world they want him
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: above Jordan, they want him above Tom Brady, and yesterday
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: cemented it. It's just I can't do it. Sorry, soccer,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't bring myself to do it.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Looks like a big cherry picker to me.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: So well, all I thought when he scored his goal,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I was like, I mean, you know he's gonna do something.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Where's that argument of like just put four people on him.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I know they have other people, but just try it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: So what happened I don't.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Know, but I guess he's just that good. I guess
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: he is Jordan esque. And for those that don't quite
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: know how to see that we just need to accept it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: This guy's jordan Esque. Yeah, and when you're trailing two
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: nil and he just takes over the match and only
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: needs fifteen minutes of ninety minutes to win the match
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: for you, I guess he is just that special. And
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: we might have to all tip our baseball caps to
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the soccer guy, all right. Headlines next plus He and
