Chuck & Buck 3-24 Hour 4: Reading into the numbers, The Ol' Judge and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: That was well then Robert Bass. It was not written
0:02
Speaker 1: by Huey lewis one of the few songs out there
0:04
Speaker 1: that wasn't.
0:05
Speaker 2: Yeah you're really good at the songs where they actually
0:07
Speaker 2: say who they are.
0:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't notice that part.
0:11
Speaker 3: Did you know he's not internationally known as well.
0:13
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, actually from the song, I did, but I
0:16
Speaker 1: didn't even catch the part that I guess he does
0:18
Speaker 1: say and.
0:18
Speaker 3: I want to rock right now.
0:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think of that, but I just knew
0:22
Speaker 1: that because that was like junior high. It was a
0:26
Speaker 1: good one.
0:27
Speaker 3: I really like that. I like this conversation.
0:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, it's fun. I didn't know that he
0:33
Speaker 1: said that, even though I just sang yeah, I don't
0:37
Speaker 1: think I sang that part.
0:39
Speaker 3: You should have. It's a great part.
0:41
Speaker 1: Good morning, nine o'clock hour.
0:43
Speaker 2: It is Chuck Buck and Ashley h with you as
0:46
Speaker 2: we roll into this last hour of our Tuesday edition
0:49
Speaker 2: of the radio program. And you know what they say,
0:52
Speaker 2: I mean, they warn you. It's like a warning label
0:55
Speaker 2: on the back of cigarettes. They slap it right there
0:58
Speaker 2: on the start of spring training.
1:00
Speaker 1: Don't read into the numbers. Oh is that? Yeah?
1:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big warning. Okay, big warning, do not
1:06
Speaker 2: read in to the spring training numbers, otherwise you'll be sorry.
1:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you can read into some and
1:13
Speaker 1: then not read into others.
1:14
Speaker 2: Oh really, I was just gonna pick and choose. Well,
1:17
Speaker 2: we're going to read into spring training numbers, so I'm
1:20
Speaker 2: going to defy what all the doctors have ovized. So
1:23
Speaker 2: let's start with just the record overall, eleven nineteen and one,
1:28
Speaker 2: eleven nineteen and one record.
1:31
Speaker 1: What we read into that zero zero? Okay, that's a zero.
1:35
Speaker 1: Not even an ounce of me is concerned about them
1:39
Speaker 1: playing what would that be thirty three percent baseball or
1:43
Speaker 1: roughly somewhere around there. No zero, I mean they didn't
1:46
Speaker 1: even have their one. You don't you're not playing with
1:49
Speaker 1: your team, your actual team. So any team record, this
1:54
Speaker 1: is most of spring training was not played with the
1:57
Speaker 1: team you're going to take into the season. You had
1:59
Speaker 1: a bunch of minor leagues there and non roster invite guys,
2:02
Speaker 1: and and then you had for this one, you had
2:04
Speaker 1: half of spring training that your best players were playing
2:07
Speaker 1: in the WBC. So it means nothing.
2:09
Speaker 2: Oh I think Larry Stone, I think it was somebody
2:12
Speaker 2: else's math, and he was just retweeting it. But I
2:14
Speaker 2: don't remember the original math doer. I just remember Larry Stone.
2:18
Speaker 2: He said, same record as last year, nineteen, same record.
2:23
Speaker 3: Look at the disaster last year.
2:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we should read into it. They didn't even
2:27
Speaker 1: get to the World Series last year.
2:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, it doesn't look like there's really reading
2:34
Speaker 2: into any record.
2:35
Speaker 1: Yeah. In the spring, team stats mean nada.
2:38
Speaker 2: All right, all right, that one means nothing. We're gonna
2:41
Speaker 2: put a big down arrow next to that. Okay, all right,
2:45
Speaker 2: Cole Young, what do we read into led the team
2:49
Speaker 2: and home runs this spring? With six twice the number
2:53
Speaker 2: of runs batted in as any player on the entire
2:57
Speaker 2: organization this spring? Cole Young went out there without a
3:03
Speaker 2: for sure job, have a favorite to win the job,
3:06
Speaker 2: but not for sure, and it looks like he just
3:09
Speaker 2: left no doubt out on the baseball field.
3:11
Speaker 1: We read anything to those upsurge and power numbers, Yeah, well,
3:15
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not going to read into it that
3:16
Speaker 1: he's going to lead the team this year in Homer's right,
3:19
Speaker 1: or that he's going to have twice the RBIs right
3:22
Speaker 1: that No, I mean he had the most of bats
3:24
Speaker 1: out of anybody in spring training as well, and so,
3:27
Speaker 1: and it's not a lot. I mean, it's fifty seven
3:30
Speaker 1: at bats that he had. I'll read into it though,
3:32
Speaker 1: So I mean it's it is literally like a coping
3:35
Speaker 1: mechanism is what you do as a baseball player. If
3:38
Speaker 1: you're doing poorly, then you have to cope. You have
3:40
Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, well that's in the past. I
3:42
Speaker 1: can't change it. That doesn't mean that it doesn't register.
3:45
Speaker 1: You just have to make it not register anymore. And
3:48
Speaker 1: yet in spring training it's like, Okay, these stats don't
3:51
Speaker 1: really count, and so if I'm not doing well, then
3:53
Speaker 1: I have to go, Okay, well what am I working on?
3:55
Speaker 1: What do I just need to work on? And then
3:57
Speaker 1: so you just let it kind of try to roll
3:59
Speaker 1: off your back as nothing. But if you're doing well,
4:02
Speaker 1: then you're like, I'm feeling good. Then you you write it,
4:05
Speaker 1: you feel it, you let yourself, you let it mean something.
4:07
Speaker 1: It just doesn't count. I mean, it doesn't. He would
4:10
Speaker 1: love if he got to start off the season with
4:13
Speaker 1: this sixty eight bats in his back pocket, right, six
4:15
Speaker 1: homers and all these RBIs and hit two eighty one,
4:18
Speaker 1: But now it's three on opening Day. Cole won't say
4:22
Speaker 1: I've already got six right right? Might he might if
4:27
Speaker 1: he was a smart ass, and that would be funny.
4:30
Speaker 1: I think he is. I don't think he is, either,
4:32
Speaker 1: but it would be really funny. Col goes yard three times.
4:36
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I had more than you and spring
4:38
Speaker 1: training double up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe you're almost there, Bud.
4:42
Speaker 1: Keep trying the game, Go get them, Tiger.
4:44
Speaker 2: I do think it's real from this standpoint, and I
4:47
Speaker 2: don't know if we were saying this a year ago.
4:49
Speaker 2: Cole Young's power is real. He's not hitting wall scrapers
4:54
Speaker 2: out there. He's hitting bombs. And I didn't know he
4:59
Speaker 2: was capable bull of that. The first time I even
5:01
Speaker 2: thought him, thought of him as that was last year
5:04
Speaker 2: when he hit like two during the regular season that
5:08
Speaker 2: went damn near five hundred feet. And he was noticeably
5:14
Speaker 2: wider this year. And I don't mean that in a
5:17
Speaker 2: bad way, but his back is wider, so there's some
5:22
Speaker 2: thump there. I don't know if it's power. He's never
5:25
Speaker 2: been graded out as a power hitter, but there's definitely
5:28
Speaker 2: some thump. And I think that the young man, I mean,
5:31
Speaker 2: he's built, it's very sturdy, and he obviously spent some
5:35
Speaker 2: time you know, in the weight room this offseason. I
5:38
Speaker 2: think he got a bowflex because now we're seeing now
5:44
Speaker 2: we're seeing him kind of repeat that more frequently spring
5:47
Speaker 2: or not. I mean those he's just hit six bombs
5:51
Speaker 2: this spring. I think he's got a legitimate power. I'm
5:53
Speaker 2: gonna call it. He's a twenty homer hitter this year.
5:55
Speaker 2: He's gonna hit at least twenty ores.
5:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got the power to do it, no doubt
5:58
Speaker 1: about it. I Mean, some of the power numbers in
6:01
Speaker 1: spring training are discounted because the ball does jump down there.
6:05
Speaker 1: It just feels like and you're sometimes you're facing some
6:08
Speaker 1: kid that's going to be an A ball or double
6:09
Speaker 1: A and so they throw some meatballs. But I mean
6:13
Speaker 1: last year he had the longest home run of any
6:16
Speaker 1: maritor and he didn't even play the whole season up
6:18
Speaker 1: there in the regular season, and then this year he
6:22
Speaker 1: had the longest home run in spring training period. Yep,
6:25
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy eight feet. That's not pop, that's
6:29
Speaker 1: not thump. That's power. That's that's big boy power. Now,
6:33
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference. Is he an oppo Taco,
6:36
Speaker 1: no doubter guy. I don't know. About that, but you
6:38
Speaker 1: drop one where he can drop head on it and
6:41
Speaker 1: yank that thing to the gap or down the line,
6:42
Speaker 1: and he's got as much power as just about Amy
6:44
Speaker 1: on the squad.
6:45
Speaker 2: We're reading positively those yes putting up arrow yes next
6:49
Speaker 2: to Cole Young, all right, let's jump the cow. Couldn't
6:52
Speaker 2: have had a worse WBC. How do we read into that?
6:58
Speaker 1: It's something because I think that he is a guy
7:01
Speaker 1: that takes pride in at doing everything the right way,
7:04
Speaker 1: and unfortunately he had a hand in something being misconstrued
7:07
Speaker 1: and taken out of context and overblown that there's people
7:12
Speaker 1: still right now that think he's bad for it, and
7:14
Speaker 1: he didn't intend it as such. So I think that
7:17
Speaker 1: there's something that said, again the compartmentalized to move on
7:21
Speaker 1: from things that aren't going your way. You don't get
7:24
Speaker 1: you don't hit sixty homers in a season unless you
7:27
Speaker 1: have you've got a really damn good idea of how
7:29
Speaker 1: to handle the mental side of the ups and downs.
7:32
Speaker 1: And so I think it's disappointing, but if anything, I
7:36
Speaker 1: would think it probably fires him up a little bit
7:38
Speaker 1: more to go out and just just get after it
7:40
Speaker 1: right off the seat it right as a season.
7:42
Speaker 2: Well it's not just I mean the Rose Arena thing
7:44
Speaker 2: I think was the worst part of it all. Not
7:46
Speaker 2: that it was a bad thing. We've already cleared this up,
7:49
Speaker 2: but how it got blown so far out of proportion
7:52
Speaker 2: he had to deal with it. I mean, Cayl Rawley's
7:55
Speaker 2: not spent a lot of his life and certainly his
7:58
Speaker 2: time as a professional baseball player, being criticized for anything.
8:02
Speaker 1: I mean, he's.
8:02
Speaker 2: Beloved here, he became beloved nationally. The big Dumper nickname
8:07
Speaker 2: that went off this past year became a household name.
8:11
Speaker 2: This is like the first criticism as unfair as I
8:14
Speaker 2: thought it was that he's had to receive, and he
8:16
Speaker 2: received a lot of it. But he also didn't have
8:18
Speaker 2: a hit. He got benched, he was the starting catcher,
8:21
Speaker 2: he didn't end up the starting catcher, he got bingched
8:23
Speaker 2: in a tournament by his manager. He had an uncharacteristic
8:29
Speaker 2: horrible pass ball at a bad moment. So it was
8:33
Speaker 2: just overall, just like I'm sure it was a good
8:37
Speaker 2: experience for cal I'm sure it was a rewarding in
8:39
Speaker 2: a lot of ways, but it's certainly not what he envisioned.
8:41
Speaker 2: And I hope that it doesn't affect him negatively in
8:44
Speaker 2: one ounce, It won't.
8:46
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, I mean he definitely didn't finish
8:48
Speaker 1: the way that he had dreamt, right. I mean, you
8:50
Speaker 1: think I get to wear USA across my chest and
8:52
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to win the whole thing, and you know,
8:54
Speaker 1: have a big knocker, a couple of big homers across
8:57
Speaker 1: the way. It didn't happen that way. But again, you
8:59
Speaker 1: just you take it doesn't matter. He doesn't start out
9:02
Speaker 1: the season, oh for nine, he doesn't start out the
9:04
Speaker 1: season on the verge of maybe losing his starting job.
9:07
Speaker 1: All of that stuff is nothing. It's nine games. I
9:12
Speaker 1: will change my affiliation my team. I will root for
9:15
Speaker 1: another team.
9:16
Speaker 2: All right, So we're not reading into Col's WBC. We're
9:19
Speaker 2: gonna put a negative. We're gonna down, arrow down, big
9:22
Speaker 2: down down on that one. Josh Naylor didn't exactly light
9:27
Speaker 2: it up for Team Canada and with the Mariners thirty
9:30
Speaker 2: at bats, one extra base hit, he had about as
9:35
Speaker 2: he had about as anti Cole young a spring training
9:39
Speaker 2: as anyone in the organization.
9:41
Speaker 1: What do we read into that. I don't know for sure.
9:44
Speaker 1: If there's a guy that that for him between the
9:48
Speaker 1: years could care less about the outcome of a spring
9:53
Speaker 1: training a bat. I don't. I mean I mean that
9:56
Speaker 1: in a good way. There there's I couldn't do that.
9:59
Speaker 1: I could not be that lase a fair about the outcome.
10:04
Speaker 1: But then again, I also as I got better at
10:06
Speaker 1: playing the game, I realized it's all about the approach.
10:09
Speaker 1: It's all about setting up my work ethic and making
10:12
Speaker 1: sure that I'm doing what I need to do that
10:14
Speaker 1: gives me the best chance at the possible outcomes. Josh
10:16
Speaker 1: Naylor goes out there wearing you know, Seattle Storm Jersey.
10:20
Speaker 1: Half the time. He sometimes he didn't have socks on.
10:23
Speaker 1: He was just out there. He's just going through the motions,
10:27
Speaker 1: doing what he knows he needs to be to do
10:31
Speaker 1: to where he feels ready this Thursday. That's all that
10:34
Speaker 1: he's doing. He doesn't I don't think he gives. I
10:37
Speaker 1: don't think he cares one bit. If he struck out.
10:40
Speaker 2: He spent more time working on his relationship with Tucker.
10:44
Speaker 3: It's an important relationship though about his outcomes.
10:47
Speaker 1: Yes, he did. I wonder how said Tucker was when
10:50
Speaker 1: he's not there. When he went to WBC, He's like,
10:54
Speaker 1: where's my treat?
10:55
Speaker 4: Guy?
10:55
Speaker 1: Somebody picked up.
10:56
Speaker 2: The slack Nayler not reading into it down arrow under
11:01
Speaker 2: that one. Let's talk about h I want to get
11:04
Speaker 2: to a couple pitchers here, but cold Emerson to sixty
11:08
Speaker 2: eight batting average in the spring against major league pitching,
11:11
Speaker 2: all major league pitching, pretty much. He was starting most
11:14
Speaker 2: games three forty on base four eighty eight slug eight,
11:19
Speaker 2: twenty eight ops, all of it. Short sample. We understand that,
11:23
Speaker 2: as Ryan Heay put it yesterday, he blended in something
11:28
Speaker 2: to that effect. I don't know why, the exact words
11:30
Speaker 2: that he use, something like when he first said it
11:34
Speaker 2: to us, I thought he was criticizing him, like he
11:36
Speaker 2: didn't stand.
11:36
Speaker 1: Out, but he was saying no, no, no, no no.
11:38
Speaker 2: What I mean by that is that when you watch
11:41
Speaker 2: the game, he looked like a major leaguer. He didn't
11:44
Speaker 2: stand out like he was trying to prove that. He
11:47
Speaker 2: just blended in on the field as a major leaguer.
11:51
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't light it up like Cole Young
11:53
Speaker 2: did offensively, but he seemed to hold his own. How
11:57
Speaker 2: much do we read into Colt Emerson spring Now.
12:00
Speaker 1: Well, I read into it exactly kind of the way
12:02
Speaker 1: that Ryan was talking about it, where if you watch right,
12:06
Speaker 1: here's a watch a college baseball game, and they don't
12:09
Speaker 1: look like big leaguers, not because they don't have the
12:12
Speaker 1: same size per se, or that they're not as old.
12:14
Speaker 1: They just don't look. They don't move like big leaguers,
12:17
Speaker 1: they don't act like big leaguers. They're not big. They're not.
12:21
Speaker 1: Then you can find in minor leagues. You'll find somebody
12:23
Speaker 1: that looks special on the minor league field, and they
12:26
Speaker 1: look different than the other minor leaguers, but they still
12:28
Speaker 1: don't look like big leaguers. I think what he was
12:30
Speaker 1: talking about, and when we saw him down there, the
12:33
Speaker 1: way in which he kind of walks around, you can
12:36
Speaker 1: tell that he feels that he belongs. He's capable, not
12:38
Speaker 1: a there's not a passive part of like, oh, I
12:41
Speaker 1: don't know for sure if I belong here, and I
12:43
Speaker 1: know that feeling a lot when I would get called
12:46
Speaker 1: up to big league games. It's just like, oh, this
12:48
Speaker 1: is different. And I'm sure that I looked I did
12:50
Speaker 1: not look like I felt fit there, and that I was.
12:53
Speaker 1: I probably I felt out of place, so I probably
12:55
Speaker 1: looked like I was out of place. I would say
12:57
Speaker 1: I read into what his stats are as. This kid
13:01
Speaker 1: is getting sent down, but he's knowing it's just a
13:04
Speaker 1: matter of time until he's a big leaguer. And what
13:06
Speaker 1: he showed over the course of the twenty games that
13:08
Speaker 1: he played or whatever, is that he's he's capable of
13:11
Speaker 1: competing and with more growth, doing more thriving, succeeding up here.
13:17
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to read into that one positively.
13:19
Speaker 1: Yes, arrow up. Yeah. You notice in the trend here
13:22
Speaker 1: those spring training numbers mean something. Yes, those do? Yes,
13:26
Speaker 1: positive ones do, negative ones do not.
13:29
Speaker 2: I like the way you say, all right, let's talk
13:32
Speaker 2: about a couple of the pitchers. Emerson Hancock looks like
13:34
Speaker 2: he'll start in the rotation again this year. This is
13:37
Speaker 2: what three years in a row that this has happened
13:40
Speaker 2: and didn't have a you know, all that outstanding of
13:43
Speaker 2: an era during spring over fifteen innings of work, five
13:46
Speaker 2: point four to Zho, he gave up more than a
13:48
Speaker 2: hit an inning, but he had twenty one strikeouts. No
13:51
Speaker 2: one that pitched had a better strikeout rate than Emerson Hancock.
13:55
Speaker 2: And he is and by the end of camp was
13:57
Speaker 2: receiving raves for his improved VLO and the movement on
14:01
Speaker 2: his pitches. What do we read into Emerson Hancock's numbers.
14:06
Speaker 1: I mean, there's something to your objective as a pitcher
14:11
Speaker 1: is to not allow them to score. So an era
14:14
Speaker 1: of five point four to oh is not great. That said,
14:18
Speaker 1: you're also working on things. There's times when it's you know,
14:22
Speaker 1: maybe there's a guy on second base, he got a
14:24
Speaker 1: base open. In regular season, if it's somebody big up there,
14:27
Speaker 1: you'd be like, I'm gonna nibble here, and yet in
14:29
Speaker 1: spring training you're like, I'm gonna go after this guy
14:31
Speaker 1: here and see what happens. Boom, next thing, you know,
14:33
Speaker 1: seeing I ground ball or even hard hit ball and
14:35
Speaker 1: you give up a run. The strikeout numbers I definitely
14:39
Speaker 1: look into because when we've seen him the last couple
14:41
Speaker 1: of years, that's been his buggybook, kind of like how
14:44
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert was his first year. Like the inability to
14:47
Speaker 1: put people away when you get ahead of them. For
14:50
Speaker 1: him to have the most strikeouts in twenty one strikeouts
14:54
Speaker 1: of fifteen innings, there's nothing to scoff at. And he's
14:56
Speaker 1: he's I think he's learning. He obviously still has room
14:59
Speaker 1: to grow. So I read into the good part of it,
15:01
Speaker 1: and no read into the bad party exactly like that.
15:08
Speaker 1: And I'm not kidding, guarantee you they all are thinking
15:12
Speaker 1: exactly the same way, all of them.
15:16
Speaker 2: Ryan Sloan, after starting the spring as our talk of camp,
15:20
Speaker 2: he ended his spring and the Spring breakout throwing three
15:24
Speaker 2: perfect innings against the Milwaukee Brewers top ranked farm system.
15:30
Speaker 1: What are we reading into Ryan Sloan's camp. I think
15:33
Speaker 1: when we saw him, and even when we talked to him,
15:36
Speaker 1: he seems like, well, he looks like a child. He
15:38
Speaker 1: looks like he should be one of the babies in
15:40
Speaker 1: the baby commercial Mariner's baby commercial. Be great if he
15:43
Speaker 1: was said non luke ye, like he's in a stroller. Hey, hey,
15:47
Speaker 1: somebody will get Sloan. He's got a pitch. Put your
15:51
Speaker 1: binkie down, Sloan. I think that what I read out
15:54
Speaker 1: of him, and this isn't just the stats, but just
15:57
Speaker 1: the way in which he kind of carries himself, is
16:00
Speaker 1: he's a dude that's going to need a little bit
16:01
Speaker 1: of time. But I think he just got his first
16:04
Speaker 1: dose of what it's like to be at the highest level,
16:06
Speaker 1: and he fits, he belongs, He's capable. I think that
16:10
Speaker 1: I think you can read into what it is is
16:12
Speaker 1: people are saying, you know, he might be the next
16:14
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole type guy, like an ace like that. I
16:17
Speaker 1: don't think that anything he did in spring makes him
16:20
Speaker 1: feel that that is far fetched.
16:23
Speaker 2: I mean, just the difference between the success that Kate
16:27
Speaker 2: Anderson because he got roughed up a couple times, but
16:31
Speaker 2: Sloan was like, nobody can touch me, No grown man
16:35
Speaker 2: can touch me. Because I mean, those were the two
16:40
Speaker 2: guys that were talking of camp and I'm again we're
16:43
Speaker 2: not reading too much into Kate Anderson having struggled in
16:46
Speaker 2: a couple of starts, first time he's ever faced major
16:48
Speaker 2: league geters. But Ryan Sloan a very limited amount of time.
16:52
Speaker 2: I think he only threw one inning against actual major leaguers.
16:56
Speaker 2: But man, he's struggled against no one so far in
16:59
Speaker 2: his entire life.
17:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's like I said,
17:04
Speaker 1: you you can. You got to take the things that
17:06
Speaker 1: are good and you build off of them so they
17:08
Speaker 1: do count or they matter. The things that don't you
17:11
Speaker 1: have to let it as Okay, well that's a learning situation.
17:14
Speaker 1: He didn't have a lot to He had to learn
17:15
Speaker 1: this the hard way quickly.
17:17
Speaker 2: Can I could just derive at this conclusion. Luke rayleyne
17:23
Speaker 2: ops in the spring, so obviously he's back on track.
17:28
Speaker 2: And Rob Refschneider with a five thirty six ops which
17:31
Speaker 2: is terrible.
17:32
Speaker 1: Clearly nothing to worry about. Yeah, the refistrator one. I'm
17:38
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure what I think about Ref
17:40
Speaker 1: Schneider at this point. I need to beat him. Yeah,
17:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to see him. But Luke Raley, I
17:44
Speaker 1: think was motivated this offseason to rebound from an injury
17:49
Speaker 1: riddled poor season that he had last year. And it
17:51
Speaker 1: looks like he's he's back there you go. He can
17:54
Speaker 1: be he can be a catalyst for some big things.
17:56
Speaker 1: I love the way he plays a game.
17:58
Speaker 2: Yeah I do too, And I mean he can have
18:01
Speaker 2: a bad year. He had a bad year. He had
18:03
Speaker 2: a bad year, a lot of injuries with that. But
18:06
Speaker 2: it's not like he's some fossil. He's still in his
18:08
Speaker 2: twenties and I think can contribute something And looks like
18:12
Speaker 2: he's going to share right field with Roblaze.
18:17
Speaker 1: And then can Zone and Ref Schneider will share the
18:19
Speaker 1: d H duties. Kind of what we told you from day.
18:22
Speaker 2: One a camp all right, coming up next, the old
18:24
Speaker 2: judge will stop by Sports Radio ninety three point three
18:27
Speaker 2: kJ R f M. Yeah, you got it. The thirty third.
18:31
Speaker 2: Your wish is my command, the thirty third whatever whatever.
18:35
Speaker 1: You whatever you call it.
18:37
Speaker 2: You'll traded bung hold to be number thirty three, trade whatever.
18:40
Speaker 5: Just I just want thirty third, he said, whatever. We
18:43
Speaker 5: could come up with some stuff.
18:45
Speaker 1: You guys, do I think that's your real name? Yeah?
18:49
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Oh boy, that was a direct.
18:53
Speaker 2: The judge is here, he is ready to rule inside
18:57
Speaker 2: his courtroom. This is how it works. I'm gonna bring
19:00
Speaker 2: up a few topics to be debated inside the courtroom
19:03
Speaker 2: between Ashley and I not necessarily disagreed upon. But once
19:07
Speaker 2: the judge has heard enough, he will slam his gavel.
19:11
Speaker 1: The court must come to order, and then he will
19:13
Speaker 1: weigh in. That's right. And what you mean by the
19:17
Speaker 1: court will come to order it means you guys shut
19:19
Speaker 1: your mouths. But you don't do that very well, and
19:23
Speaker 1: you should be held in contempt and maybe thrown in jail.
19:25
Speaker 3: Oh you're the judge.
19:26
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well we'll try to do better. It
19:29
Speaker 2: sounds like let's get things going with.
19:33
Speaker 1: This first one.
19:33
Speaker 2: All right, Should the Sonics return, they need to come
19:37
Speaker 2: back with the exact uniforms they last wore.
19:41
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, as long as it's not that dark green
19:44
Speaker 5: with the red trim with the space needle.
19:46
Speaker 3: I did not like that one.
19:47
Speaker 5: But the classic the bar across the chest and the
19:51
Speaker 5: seattle on some of them, and Sonics on some of them,
19:53
Speaker 5: and the green and the yellow and the white sign
19:55
Speaker 5: me up, especially because I already have one and I
19:57
Speaker 5: don't need to buy anyone.
19:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever one Kevin Durant has scene, that's the one
20:02
Speaker 2: that has to come back. And I love that we
20:04
Speaker 2: do this now we recognize, oh man, that is a
20:07
Speaker 2: great look, and that's just tailor it better so it
20:09
Speaker 2: doesn't just hang on them like we we have the technology.
20:13
Speaker 2: So I just want just like we did with the
20:17
Speaker 2: Sea Hawk uniforms that looked all loose on Steve Largent,
20:21
Speaker 2: but we tailor them better and there's nothing that looks better.
20:24
Speaker 2: I want to do the same thing with that Sonics uniform.
20:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I want it to be new, new, brand new,
20:33
Speaker 1: well not brand new similar. Oh, definitely the color scheme
20:38
Speaker 1: and without the maroon. I don't need the red in
20:40
Speaker 1: there at all, just the yellow, green, white. But I
20:45
Speaker 1: want it to be new. I want it to be different.
20:48
Speaker 1: I'm still taking stuff off of it. I would love
20:51
Speaker 1: somehow the space needle in there, if you will. I mean,
20:55
Speaker 1: however you want to do it. I think there's a
20:56
Speaker 1: new way to do it. I don't need it to
20:58
Speaker 1: be full back, full throw back, because I think you
21:01
Speaker 1: can then have throwbacks. I don't think anybody's going to
21:04
Speaker 1: be bummed out. I think it just is something. There's
21:06
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to do something, something new and yet
21:10
Speaker 1: use the old school colors for sure. Yeah, I'm not
21:12
Speaker 1: thinking red at all to get the red out of there.
21:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, that red was terrible. I mean that uniform was
21:16
Speaker 5: like cartoonish too.
21:17
Speaker 3: I didn't like it. Yeah, I just like the classic.
21:19
Speaker 2: That's the classic, the green thing and yellow is so
21:23
Speaker 2: popular right now. I mean you could probably do that
21:25
Speaker 2: a little differently. Oh yeah, we're not supposed to talk
21:28
Speaker 2: after the judges.
21:29
Speaker 3: Rule, that's right.
21:30
Speaker 1: Even though he was he can do that, ye you.
21:32
Speaker 3: We're not supposed to tell the judge his choice was.
21:34
Speaker 1: Wrong, right, Yeah, No, don't do that all right.
21:37
Speaker 2: Next one, Logan Gilbert will have agreed to a contract
21:42
Speaker 2: extension with the Mariners before season's end.
21:45
Speaker 5: Yes, he will. I think he is the next piece
21:49
Speaker 5: of the puzzle. I think what he brings to the
21:52
Speaker 5: team in terms of his talent, but also just his
21:55
Speaker 5: general demeanor. I think he's an excellent addition to the team.
21:58
Speaker 5: I think they know that. I think they recognize the
22:00
Speaker 5: chemistry with him and Cal and I think that is
22:03
Speaker 5: very important.
22:04
Speaker 2: And I also think he is the lowest risk injury
22:08
Speaker 2: guy because he's gumba be, He's dumby, dumb it, and
22:12
Speaker 2: so I think he's just a really smart investment. There's
22:16
Speaker 2: talk that he may want to go back toward Florida,
22:19
Speaker 2: but I think that his heart now belongs here. I
22:23
Speaker 2: think he gets an extension. I think Emerson Hancock has
22:27
Speaker 2: a little bit of a breakthrough year, and he or
22:29
Speaker 2: Andersoner will be in the starting rotation next year, and
22:32
Speaker 2: George Kirby will be traded.
22:33
Speaker 1: I think all of that will happen between now and that.
22:35
Speaker 1: Cavil Cavil, Cavil. I don't know if I like all
22:38
Speaker 1: of that that you just said, but I do like
22:40
Speaker 1: the idea of locking down Logan. I mean, he's your
22:44
Speaker 1: if you want to say, he's your dude, like your
22:46
Speaker 1: guy that just kind of has the most homegrown field,
22:49
Speaker 1: even though all these guys have homegrown field, right, they're
22:52
Speaker 1: all homegrown. But I think that he's kind of the
22:54
Speaker 1: one that embraces the most. You think about the nucleus
22:57
Speaker 1: of Julio and Cal, is there any that's more with Cal,
23:02
Speaker 1: like aligned with Cal than Logan. I mean, it seemed
23:05
Speaker 1: maybe maybe him and George are tighter, but I don't
23:07
Speaker 1: think so. I think it's Logan's kind of that guy.
23:11
Speaker 1: The one thing I would just be concerned about is
23:13
Speaker 1: I expecting him go out and have a big year,
23:15
Speaker 1: and then is he going to is he gonna go Okay? Well,
23:19
Speaker 1: now I don't want to test it because you haven't
23:21
Speaker 1: signed me up to that early deal. Right. The longer
23:23
Speaker 1: you wait, the more years of arbitration where he gets
23:26
Speaker 1: a bump and pay raise but not you know, the
23:28
Speaker 1: thirty forty million dollar bump that he would get through
23:31
Speaker 1: free agency, the less likely they are too. You can
23:35
Speaker 1: but that you can buy him out of arbitration years.
23:37
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that he wants to stay here.
23:40
Speaker 1: I think that they want him to stay here. I'm
23:42
Speaker 1: saying yes, I think that by the season ends they will.
23:44
Speaker 1: But then again, it's one of those. If he starts
23:46
Speaker 1: going off, that number is gonna keep going up.
23:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well they all got one more year of arbitration
23:51
Speaker 2: after this one play with Yeah, one more year, so.
23:55
Speaker 1: We shall see, all right.
23:56
Speaker 2: Next up, Mick cronin versus Dan Hrr Early Sunday set
24:01
Speaker 2: an NCAA record for most combined jerk in one game
24:07
Speaker 2: and tournament history.
24:08
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
24:08
Speaker 5: I looked at five iron I was like, which jerk
24:10
Speaker 5: do you want to win this one? I mean the whining,
24:14
Speaker 5: the the lobs, I mean they are LD's, the looks
24:18
Speaker 5: of disbelief, like they just oh, everything's so dramatic, and
24:22
Speaker 5: they're just so angry.
24:24
Speaker 2: And I think Cronan's more jerky than Early, I know,
24:28
Speaker 2: which is hard to do.
24:29
Speaker 3: That is really hard to do. I dislike them quite
24:32
Speaker 3: a bit.
24:33
Speaker 2: And you know what happens when you have a face
24:35
Speaker 2: off of jerks. It's a uh huh right right right? Yeah.
24:40
Speaker 2: So I think finishing, I think it's set the record.
24:44
Speaker 2: I think it was the biggest off in the history.
24:47
Speaker 1: Of college basketball. I watched the thing.
24:49
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, yeah, yeah.
24:51
Speaker 1: First of all, I watched that. I watched our training thing,
24:55
Speaker 1: and I didn't know that was a word. I wasn't
24:57
Speaker 1: supposed to say just because you didn't say it. I
24:59
Speaker 1: didn't say it, but I wanted to say it. But yes,
25:01
Speaker 1: I think that that was a real battle of jerks
25:05
Speaker 1: that they that they showed there, and I think, uh
25:08
Speaker 1: McK cronin, I think for sure wins it. To be
25:10
Speaker 1: honest with.
25:10
Speaker 2: You, I think there were moments where Hurley's like, do
25:12
Speaker 2: I look like that?
25:13
Speaker 1: And tell me I don't look like that.
25:15
Speaker 5: Probably after and they're like, yeah, bro, you it was
25:19
Speaker 5: like looking in a mirror for you.
25:20
Speaker 1: I'm sure I think he grew up. Well, I got
25:24
Speaker 1: to stop doing that. I do that, don't I?
25:26
Speaker 2: Yes, you do.
25:26
Speaker 3: Let's wait till one more game. He's going to be
25:30
Speaker 3: the same jerk.
25:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to turn over a new leaf when
25:34
Speaker 1: you're that Jeffy. It's hard to turn the whole leaf over,
25:37
Speaker 1: but you might turn over a little bit, like at
25:38
Speaker 1: least I want to be second.
25:39
Speaker 5: He can lift a little bit of a leaf up
25:41
Speaker 5: and then be like, oh, I don't like it when
25:42
Speaker 5: it's on that side either, so.
25:43
Speaker 3: I don't put it back down. Once you've lost a jerk,
25:46
Speaker 3: mm hmm. The opposite of on.
25:51
Speaker 1: You know, you learn a few things. Yeah you do, Yeah,
25:53
Speaker 1: you want to change, you want to change, all right.
25:56
Speaker 2: Last one, Ashley for Mill Creek wants to know what
25:59
Speaker 2: would deck Line Roofing have done had Jake Bobo signed
26:03
Speaker 2: with Jacksonville.
26:04
Speaker 5: Very concerned about it, I've heard his ad to Dan.
26:06
Speaker 5: I thought, wow, I bet they're breathing a sigh of relief.
26:11
Speaker 1: I think I know what would happen. I think they
26:13
Speaker 1: would have moved with him. I know they have roots here,
26:17
Speaker 1: and I know they do a hell of a business.
26:19
Speaker 2: But I have a feeling that they probably would have
26:22
Speaker 2: just rooted their old family, oh family business and gone
26:25
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville gavel.
26:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there they do need roofs in Florida, and
26:31
Speaker 1: tech Line could probably come up with hurricane proof ones.
26:34
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I think they probably would have
26:35
Speaker 1: moved with Bobo or I don't know, asked Rashet, if
26:39
Speaker 1: he wanted to be tech Lan you're.
26:41
Speaker 3: Saying they maybe you would have just found another person,
26:43
Speaker 3: possibly possibly. I got news for you, Jacksonville.
26:46
Speaker 2: You're not just getting a wide receiver special teams player.
26:49
Speaker 3: Uh huh, You're getting a roofing company roofing company with
26:54
Speaker 3: me Like, well, okay, sure.
26:58
Speaker 1: That's one of my questions when we get somebody new
27:00
Speaker 1: all the time, so explain to the listeners what it
27:02
Speaker 1: is that they're getting, you know. And he would have
27:04
Speaker 1: been like, well, Jacksonville, I run down on special teams.
27:07
Speaker 1: I played like my hair is on fire. I'll make
27:09
Speaker 1: the occasional catch. Don't have a ton of separation, but
27:12
Speaker 1: I can get you a deal on a new roof.
27:16
Speaker 3: I've got gentle hands and a roofing company.
27:18
Speaker 2: Uh huh, and a wonderful disposition. That's right, all right,
27:25
Speaker 2: One last thing comes your way next Sports Radio ninety
27:27
Speaker 2: three point three kJ RFM, my final segment of this
27:39
Speaker 2: Tuesday edition of Chucking Buck in the mornings.
27:41
Speaker 6: We always close with one last thing. Bucky lay it
27:44
Speaker 6: on us. I think I saw it. It was not yesterday,
27:48
Speaker 6: Maybe it was a day before. The Maryland women's basketball
27:52
Speaker 6: coach Brenda Freeze, I think Freeze or Fressie or whoever
27:56
Speaker 6: it is. And I'm not even gonna attempt it up to.
28:00
Speaker 1: Say the gal's name. Oluchi is her star guard. Anyway
28:04
Speaker 1: she got she laid into her on the sidelines during
28:07
Speaker 1: one of their their second round game, and it was
28:10
Speaker 1: I think awesome, and I love the way that they
28:13
Speaker 1: handled it afterwards. I mean it's one of those Oh
28:16
Speaker 1: my gosh, A lot of people see the video and
28:18
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, that is just unnecessary. She just is
28:21
Speaker 1: right in her face called a timeout. John Boy ends
28:24
Speaker 1: up doing a big breakdown on it where he kind
28:27
Speaker 1: of shows what leads up to it, where she was
28:30
Speaker 1: missing a bunch of shots and just kind of, you know,
28:33
Speaker 1: making some a couple of dumb fouls, and all of
28:36
Speaker 1: a sudden they call time out. She comes over the
28:38
Speaker 1: sideline and this coach gets in her face like, I
28:41
Speaker 1: mean inches from her face, and she then when they
28:44
Speaker 1: do the lip reading part of it, and it's like,
28:46
Speaker 1: this is your moment. I need you to lock it
28:48
Speaker 1: the f in right now. This isn't about me, this
28:51
Speaker 1: is about you. You need to stop getting distracted, and
28:54
Speaker 1: just basically lays into her for looks like a good minute,
28:57
Speaker 1: basically saying this is this is your moment. You got
28:59
Speaker 1: to want it right here. I need you to step
29:01
Speaker 1: it up, and then boom, the next dead ball puts
29:04
Speaker 1: her right back in there, and she reacts and makes
29:07
Speaker 1: shots and all of a sudden turns into the catalyst
29:09
Speaker 1: for them to go on to win. And then afterwards.
29:12
Speaker 1: The beauty of it was they're asked about it, and
29:14
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those oh is this going
29:17
Speaker 1: to be a big deal, and she just says, I
29:19
Speaker 1: love being coached hard. I love being coach hard by
29:22
Speaker 1: her every day in practice, and I think it's something
29:25
Speaker 1: that is it's a dying breed to some extent. I
29:27
Speaker 1: think it used to be there was a lot of
29:28
Speaker 1: people that enjoyed that because they knew the coach was
29:31
Speaker 1: expecting more of them, and then then so they took
29:34
Speaker 1: it as a compliment in some degree. And I just
29:37
Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot of them out there that
29:39
Speaker 1: are wanting to be coach hard like that anymore. And
29:41
Speaker 1: so kudos to her. It did.
29:43
Speaker 2: It looked inappropriate when you saw it, but you kind
29:45
Speaker 2: of just assumed she was like you idiot, what are
29:48
Speaker 2: you doing out there? And then you found out like
29:52
Speaker 2: the positive reinforcement that was coming with and who wouldn't
29:55
Speaker 2: be lifted up by being told by their coach like
29:59
Speaker 2: you're you're you're it, like you are our team after that? Right, Yeah,
30:05
Speaker 2: So it was it was a good turn of events
30:08
Speaker 2: because it did ride a roller coaster.
30:09
Speaker 1: People are get this woman out of here. What is
30:11
Speaker 1: she doing? Yeah? And then by the end of it all,
30:15
Speaker 1: I want to I want to be on her team.
30:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, please, Ashley.
30:18
Speaker 1: What's your one last thing?
30:19
Speaker 5: Well, the TGL finals started yesterday. The first match was
30:23
Speaker 5: a doozy. It was great.
30:25
Speaker 1: It's a doozy.
30:26
Speaker 3: It was great.
30:27
Speaker 5: Today Day two, matches two and three if necessary, and

Speaker 1: and he didn't mention that he was waiting with baited
32:47
Speaker 1: breath for our Why would he Why would you mention

33:00
Speaker 2: keeping it in check until we actually get to the
33:03
Speaker 2: actual official draftness celebration. For example, like this Ty Simpson
33:09
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza campaign that.
33:10
Speaker 1: Dan Orlovski is on.
33:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, and I'm not gonna say literally because
33:16
Speaker 2: this isn't a word for word, but he basically said
33:18
Speaker 2: the other day in a cliff, he went through all
33:21
Speaker 2: the things why Ty Simpson is better than Fernando Mendoza.
33:24
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's not an argument.
33:25
Speaker 2: To be made for that, but at one point he said,
33:28
Speaker 2: who's made the bigger throws in the bigger moments?
33:30
Speaker 1: Clearly Simpson, Like, what the f are you talking about?
33:35
Speaker 2: In the National Championship, Like no one's ever like made
33:40
Speaker 2: Clutcher throws in bigger moments in college football history. Simpson
33:46
Speaker 2: was out in the first round of the playoff that
33:48
Speaker 2: he didn't even belong in.
33:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
33:51
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one thing to have an argument, it's
33:53
Speaker 2: another thing to just be an expert and just start
33:56
Speaker 2: making stuff up to figure argument. Yeah, so we'll have
34:00
Speaker 2: heyday with that, have an entire month to break that down.
