- 0:01Speaker 1: today one o'clock we're gonna carry the news conference with
- 0:03Speaker 1: John Schneider and Mike McDonald pre draft newser I kind
- 0:06Speaker 1: of like this, I'll be honest with it. Used to
- 0:08Speaker 1: be this was kind of more of a quiet kind
- 0:11Speaker 1: of sit down Seance Snyder with m It was just
- 0:15Speaker 1: a scrum. It wasn't you know, something you record and
- 0:18Speaker 1: necessarily it was just kind of more casual. I like
- 0:20Speaker 1: having a little bit more of a formal thing up
- 0:22Speaker 1: on the podium where we can hear these guys lots
- 0:24Speaker 1: of questions. So we'll carry that for you one o'clock.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Listen.
- 0:26Speaker 1: They're not going to say anything that's overly sensitive or
- 0:32Speaker 1: giveaway trade secrets, but I think you do get a
- 0:34Speaker 1: little insight on what they think about the draft, and
- 0:37Speaker 1: away you go. I just I listen. When you can
- 0:39Speaker 1: hear from the super Bowl winning coach and the Super
- 0:42Speaker 1: Bowl winning GM, that's a good thing. That's a good
- 0:44Speaker 1: thing in sports. That's a very good thing. So we'll
- 0:46Speaker 1: hear from those guys coming up at one o'clock and
- 0:48Speaker 1: away we go. So that's coming up at one two o'clock.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We'll have Lane Lambrodon Crack and head Coach. We were
- 0:53Speaker 1: out there on Friday for lock or Clean Out Day Andrews.
- 0:57Speaker 1: We had that great interview with Bobby McMahon that you
- 1:00Speaker 1: actually can hear now that we will actually play that
- 1:02Speaker 1: tomorrow on the show.
- 1:05Speaker 3: And everything goes awry.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Well, I had an old man moments. I had just
- 1:11Speaker 1: an old man moment. I we because in this business,
- 1:15Speaker 1: I think we're transparent enough. There's some things that we tape.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Softy and I talked about this in cross talk. He
- 1:20Speaker 1: has to tape Petros, for example, every week that's not
- 1:22Speaker 1: live because wait for it, Petros is on the air
- 1:25Speaker 1: at the exact same time in lasts in Seattle, so
- 1:28Speaker 1: we tape things. Rob Rang his schedule does not allow
- 1:31Speaker 1: us to have him on live and so at two
- 1:34Speaker 1: o'clock on Fridays, and so we pre tape rob as well.
- 1:37Speaker 1: So while we had the pre taped interview with Rob
- 1:40Speaker 1: Rang playing on Friday at two o'clock, that's when we
- 1:45Speaker 1: were able to sit down with Bobby McMahon, the pending
- 1:48Speaker 1: free agent for the Kraken there guy they traded for
- 1:52Speaker 1: they're easily their best offensive player right now, who will
- 1:55Speaker 1: be an unrestricted free agent. So we had a great
- 1:57Speaker 1: conversation with him. We come out of the break after
- 2:00Speaker 1: Rob and after taping Bobby, and I'm just in this
- 2:02Speaker 1: mindset of that was a really good interview with Bobby Man.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I started talking to and about it.
- 2:05Speaker 4: And it's like, what'd you think? Le you think of Bobby?
- 2:08Speaker 1: I'll wait a second.
- 2:09Speaker 4: We we just recorded that.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I recorded that, that wasn't actually on the air, So
- 2:14Speaker 1: so we'll do that again. We'll play him, He'll go
- 2:16Speaker 1: hear from him tomorrow, because nothing's gonna time out with that.
- 2:18Speaker 1: We'll hear from him tomorrow. Let's sit down with Bobby
- 2:20Speaker 1: McMahon and then I'll say the same thing. God, what
- 2:22Speaker 1: do you think about that? What do you read into
- 2:23Speaker 1: what he said? We'll just leave it at that.
- 2:26Speaker 3: But it was a total old man that was what. Okay,
- 2:28Speaker 3: now I ant old man moment.
- 2:31Speaker 1: It happens, It's happens. It's just what is hey?
- 2:33Speaker 3: I have young women moments all the time.
- 2:36Speaker 1: We all have our moments, and that was mine. And
- 2:38Speaker 1: Andrews played it off. Andrews was a hell of a teammate.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Mane straight into it.
- 2:44Speaker 1: But I'm sure you were also like, what what are
- 2:46Speaker 1: you talking? About that was just tape.
- 2:48Speaker 5: But anyway, so that was Friday.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Whatever.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Now it's now it's Monday, and many more old man
- 2:53Speaker 1: moments coming in the course of three hours show from
- 2:55Speaker 1: now moving forward, Uh, we'll get a molly walk today
- 2:58Speaker 1: twelve twenty I I think moving ahead, we'll probably still
- 3:02Speaker 1: keep it in the one o'clock hour, I believe, but
- 3:05Speaker 1: we'll see how kind of things go. It's it's a
- 3:08Speaker 1: we're going into our old territory we were. We were
- 3:12Speaker 1: on for three hours for about fourteen months before, and
- 3:15Speaker 1: now we're back to three hours. I think this is
- 3:17Speaker 1: going to stay this way for the immediate future.
- 3:21Speaker 3: So we can come more Ian more the better.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Wow.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Oh so reticent. Yeez, to take a compliment, it's not it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: It's not even I appreciate the compliment. So we're going
- 3:35Speaker 1: to mallap to twelve twenty ten, marriage two or three
- 3:37Speaker 1: from Texas this weekend. God, the Ale West is so bad.
- 3:41Speaker 4: My god, the whole American League is bad.
- 3:43Speaker 5: Ian I know, but.
- 3:46Speaker 1: This division is what was the division in the NFL
- 3:49Speaker 1: last year That was NFC South, right, Yeah, this is
- 3:51Speaker 1: the Ale West. Is the NFC South at least in
- 3:54Speaker 1: the other two divisions in the American League, the teams
- 3:57Speaker 1: that are leading the division are above five. Okay, And
- 4:01Speaker 1: I know it's early. I know we're twenty three games in.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Guys like we're we're almost a full month into the season,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and and you know, but here's the great news. You're
- 4:10Speaker 1: ten and thirteen and you're only a game and a
- 4:13Speaker 1: half out of first exactly. It's early. I know. Well,
- 4:16Speaker 1: tell them Mets it's early, by the way, God, go ahead,
- 4:19Speaker 1: tell the Mets it's over.
- 4:20Speaker 4: It's not early.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It's seven and fifteen and eleven straight long eleven. You
- 4:26Speaker 1: tell the New York Baseball Mets it's early. It's seven
- 4:29Speaker 1: and fifteen and eleven straight losses and a minus twenty
- 4:33Speaker 1: five run differential. And it could be worse in terms
- 4:36Speaker 1: of that because the Phillies are a minus thirty eight
- 4:38Speaker 1: run to differential. But guess what they are. I had
- 4:41Speaker 1: of the Mets in the standings, Bay came and a half.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Oh, it's just dude, Well, do you need to push
- 4:47Speaker 3: on the bruise this hard?
- 4:48Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 4:48Speaker 1: Well, listen, that's your that's a you problem for being
- 4:50Speaker 1: a Mets fan. So listen, We're I grew up as
- 4:53Speaker 1: a Mariners fan. Do you think I don't have bruises
- 4:54Speaker 1: for the last fifty years?
- 4:56Speaker 3: All right, yeah, that's fair.
- 4:58Speaker 1: So we're gonna well molly wop with the boys offensive.
- 5:01Speaker 1: The big guys are still kind of scuffling along. I know,
- 5:05Speaker 1: the big story today is ref Snyder getting a lead
- 5:08Speaker 1: off home run, and you know the struggles he'd had
- 5:11Speaker 1: both physically and mentally since coming here. Good for him,
- 5:15Speaker 1: But I mean the reality is he's one for twenty
- 5:17Speaker 1: two on the season, so but he's not. Listen, you
- 5:22Speaker 1: shouldn't be depending on on Rob Rethschneider or Connor Joe
- 5:27Speaker 1: or even speaking of batting average as the one oh
- 5:30Speaker 1: five hitting Mitch Garver. No, no, you need your other guys.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I mean, Naylor got the day off yesterday. He's still
- 5:36Speaker 1: scuffling around. This is And I'll ask Chris and Nate
- 5:41Speaker 1: this a little bit as well. I kind of wonder
- 5:45Speaker 1: like this is this is? Is Julio not the best
- 5:49Speaker 1: example of how certain numbers in baseball kind of don't matter?
- 5:54Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. Here here's his line two
- 5:56Speaker 1: O nine batting average, three thirteen on base percentage, slugging
- 5:59Speaker 1: of two. Who's seventy nine? His ops is five ninety two.
- 6:04Speaker 1: But you know, if you look at the game notes
- 6:06Speaker 1: and the postgame notes, Julio's got a career high sixteen
- 6:10Speaker 1: game on Bay Streak. Great one for four, one for five,
- 6:14Speaker 1: whatever it is, or maybe zero for four, but with
- 6:16Speaker 1: a walk like he still needs to get a little
- 6:18Speaker 1: bit better. The good news is nobody in the American
- 6:20Speaker 1: League West is running away from things. And you're and
- 6:22Speaker 1: you're you're pitching staff as good moon usual looked better
- 6:24Speaker 1: the last couple of days, which is nice. Yep, I
- 6:27Speaker 1: love Brian Wu Man this dude. You want a guy
- 6:30Speaker 1: that competes, like just flat out competes. He gives you
- 6:34Speaker 1: what was it seven yesterday? Like seven strong, gives up
- 6:38Speaker 1: just two runs, and he is sideways mad at himself,
- 6:42Speaker 1: sideways mad like like he's he's given himself the business
- 6:47Speaker 1: and his glove as he's walking off the mountain before
- 6:49Speaker 1: the yump gives him the old little pat down and everything.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And and I'm like, dude, you just went seven strong
- 6:57Speaker 1: like you like? I love it though the guy, the
- 7:01Speaker 1: guy has a We talk about all these guys, what's
- 7:04Speaker 1: the difference between all of them? The one common theme
- 7:07Speaker 1: seems to be they're all massive competitors of the starting pitchers,
- 7:11Speaker 1: Like these guys compete their ass off, and I just like,
- 7:14Speaker 1: I was kind of just laughing out loud when I
- 7:16Speaker 1: see him walking off, screaming into his glove, and I'm like,
- 7:19Speaker 1: and I know he wanted to shut out or he
- 7:21Speaker 1: wanted to get I get all that you did your job,
- 7:24Speaker 1: and then some like you did your job. Your hitters
- 7:27Speaker 1: not so much this year. But we'll get into that
- 7:29Speaker 1: all that stuff coming up with them Molly whoppers in
- 7:30Speaker 1: just a couple of seconds. It is Draft week. Press
- 7:34Speaker 1: are at one o'clock today. Players are back in the
- 7:37Speaker 1: building today as well for some meetings. The start of
- 7:41Speaker 1: OTA's kind of on the horizon here as well, So
- 7:44Speaker 1: those guys are here, we'll kind of well hear what
- 7:47Speaker 1: John and and Mike have to say coming up at
- 7:49Speaker 1: one o'clock. Looking forward to that conversation. Seahawks fans again,
- 7:52Speaker 1: you can never get enough of the GM and the
- 7:54Speaker 1: head coach of the team that I don't know is
- 7:56Speaker 1: the god that sounds good? The defending Super Bowl champion?
- 7:58Speaker 1: Does that sound good? Seak fans sound pretty good?
- 8:01Speaker 2: I think so.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I mentioned cracking with Lambert. I wanted to get in,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and they're not gonna have time. I don't know. Almost
- 8:06Speaker 1: got have three hour show and I may not have
- 8:08Speaker 1: time to get in new a couple of things. I
- 8:09Speaker 1: can't even say it for at No, it's fine. I'm
- 8:13Speaker 1: gonna get in this Miles Rice thing because he's just
- 8:16Speaker 1: the poster child for everything wrong inst in sports right
- 8:18Speaker 1: now in college. Like he's a poster child for it.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And you can you can scream and yell from the
- 8:23Speaker 1: mountaintops all you want. I'm not gonna have any part
- 8:24Speaker 1: of it because when you tell me this is good
- 8:27Speaker 1: for anybody, including the young man four and four four
- 8:32Speaker 1: schools of four years, you're a fool like you cannot
- 8:35Speaker 1: because the money. It's one thing. If you go, Okay,
- 8:38Speaker 1: I'm a Division two kid like Jalen Wells was, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: you move up to Eastern Washington and then you go
- 8:43Speaker 1: to Wazoo. Okay, you you you made a not nice
- 8:47Speaker 1: progression along the way and you made and he didn't
- 8:50Speaker 1: really make money. It wasn't necessarily, but he got himself
- 8:52Speaker 1: drafted and he's having hell of a start to his
- 8:54Speaker 1: NBA career. That's not the case here, but we'll get
- 8:57Speaker 1: into that. If not today tomorrow doesn't certainly time out
- 9:01Speaker 1: NBA playoffs. By the way, Yes, refuse to talk unless
- 9:05Speaker 1: it's something salacious. And we may get into this today,
- 9:09Speaker 1: we may not. We may save it for tomorrow. I
- 9:11Speaker 1: may end up grabbing a guest Portland. Oh but it
- 9:16Speaker 1: And Okay, Jess, you say I'm not gonna take any compliment.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna compliment myself here.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Hey, let's go.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Who told you guys the second Tom Condon bought the team?
- 9:27Speaker 1: What did we talk about on this show? You are
- 9:29Speaker 1: gonna have buyer's remorse down there in Portland ownership. Just
- 9:35Speaker 1: all I have to do is tell you this. And
- 9:36Speaker 1: if you're a Blazer, I know we have a lot
- 9:38Speaker 1: of fans. Fans, We have a lot of people that
- 9:39Speaker 1: listen to us down on the iHeartRadio app down in
- 9:42Speaker 1: the Portland area, Vancouver specifically. We hear from people all
- 9:44Speaker 1: the time. The reason we have the best television play
- 9:52Speaker 1: by play man in the NHL, in john Fororesland here
- 9:55Speaker 1: in Seattle, is because Tom Condon is cheap, period, end
- 10:01Speaker 1: of story. That's why we have Johnny here. Period. I
- 10:07Speaker 1: told you guys that, and it's the biggest story. It's
- 10:09Speaker 1: overshadowing the factor in the playoffs for the first time
- 10:11Speaker 1: in five years. And you know what, I'm here for it.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I'm here, Yeah, I'm here for it. I don't work
- 10:18Speaker 1: for him anymore. I can separate myself from that part.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that they're a big part of
- 10:25Speaker 1: the Crack and Hockey network, that we their support down there.
- 10:28Speaker 7: There you go.

- 10:33Speaker 8: a little boil.

- 12:05Speaker 1: We like the Sunday stuff that they're wearing, the steelhead stuff.
- 12:08Speaker 9: Yeah, it's so good.
- 12:09Speaker 10: Yeah they should be the I would make them just
- 12:12Speaker 10: the uniforms I would those the Seattle Mariner uniforms.
- 12:16Speaker 1: There's something about simple, right, There's something about simple that's
- 12:19Speaker 1: that's really simply Seattle. But there's something about simple that's good.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I just I think those things are so nice. I
- 12:26Speaker 1: do not like the Friday interview that I don't like
- 12:28Speaker 1: those city connectings.
- 12:29Speaker 9: I think are amen there.
- 12:32Speaker 1: They can take those, and they can take the Abyss
- 12:34Speaker 1: jersey for the Kraken and they can take them both.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Of wow in there.
- 12:38Speaker 2: That sucks. Yeah.
- 12:39Speaker 9: No, Ian's absolutely right, my friend.
- 12:42Speaker 10: Then you know what it is, Ian is we may
- 12:44Speaker 10: just be old men, but I also think paying tribute
- 12:48Speaker 10: to a team that didn't want to be there is
- 12:51Speaker 10: still one of the craziest things that I've seen in
- 12:53Speaker 10: my life. I don't get paying homage to the Seattle
- 12:55Speaker 10: pilots whatsoever.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I that's a story has to be told
- 13:01Speaker 1: at some point, like like you like, it's one of
- 13:04Speaker 1: the I was trying to explain to one of either
- 13:05Speaker 1: my son or my wife the other day about the pilots. Like,
- 13:09Speaker 1: think about in today's landscape of you know, franchisees, how
- 13:13Speaker 1: hard it is to move a franchise, right, unless you're
- 13:16Speaker 1: Clayton Bennett. But if it's it's really hard to do that.
- 13:21Speaker 1: An expansion team that moved after one year like crazy,
- 13:25Speaker 1: that is that has to like we all these I know,
- 13:28Speaker 1: the jail Blazer things now on Netflix they have that,
- 13:31Speaker 1: like the Untold series. I really want to I'd love
- 13:34Speaker 1: to know what the true story there is because that's remarkable,
- 13:38Speaker 1: like one year and done like like that is that
- 13:41Speaker 1: doesn't even happen in like arena football. I don't think
- 13:44Speaker 1: does it. I mean, it's just it's insane. But anyway,
- 13:48Speaker 1: all right, let's get to it. Mariner's a boy. Not
- 13:51Speaker 1: a great start to the week, to say the least,
- 13:53Speaker 1: but a decent end to the week along the way
- 13:56Speaker 1: as well. We always do opening comments and thoughts. Let's
- 13:59Speaker 1: start off, mister Bishop with what's kind of a cool
- 14:01Speaker 1: looking marinor hot you got going on right there? Oh? Thanks?
- 14:04Speaker 11: I got this from simply Seattle, which you can get
- 14:06Speaker 11: all of your stuff there fifteen percent off with promo
- 14:08Speaker 11: code Mollywop. Thanks to them for sponsoring the show. They
- 14:11Speaker 11: did it to me again. They played like crap for
- 14:15Speaker 11: the parts of the week where I couldn't talk about them,
- 14:17Speaker 11: and then our show got closer and then they started
- 14:19Speaker 11: winning again. So here we are with me saying, generally speaking,
- 14:22Speaker 11: the Seattle Mariners need to play a lot better, but
- 14:24Speaker 11: they sure did look good the last couple of games.
- 14:27Speaker 11: And that's actually kind of the truth, you know. I
- 14:29Speaker 11: went back and looked a little bit and just by
- 14:31Speaker 11: wins and losses, this is there at ten and thirteen. Now,
- 14:34Speaker 11: this is the worst start of a Mariner's team since
- 14:37Speaker 11: twenty twenty one, which is five years ago now, so
- 14:40Speaker 11: that's a ways back. And I keep coming back to
- 14:42Speaker 11: the idea of one, this team is better than that team.
- 14:46Speaker 11: No excuse me, not twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,
- 14:48Speaker 11: the worst starts in twenty twenty two. This team is
- 14:51Speaker 11: better on paper than that twenty twenty two team was.
- 14:55Speaker 11: They do not have to be as good as that
- 14:58Speaker 11: twenty twenty two team was to catch their competition because
- 15:01Speaker 11: the American League is so much worse and it's just
- 15:04Speaker 11: getting to be absolutely ridiculous. I was thinking about what
- 15:07Speaker 11: this might end up looking like. I feel like the
- 15:09Speaker 11: Mariners are in the baseball equivalent of the WCC, and
- 15:13Speaker 11: I think tonight they got Santa Clara rolling into town
- 15:15Speaker 11: in the Sacramento A's and all they really have to
- 15:18Speaker 11: do is just kind of beat a bunch of teams
- 15:20Speaker 11: that they're better than. And I think they're going to
- 15:22Speaker 11: start doing that. And I think the ways that they've
- 15:24Speaker 11: been losing. Look, I think it's funny when the Mariners lose.
- 15:27Speaker 11: I think it's probably not a revelation for the listeners
- 15:30Speaker 11: to understand that there's a lot in my psyche that's
- 15:34Speaker 11: very deeply twisted after forty five years of watching this team.
- 15:37Speaker 9: That's it.
- 15:37Speaker 11: When they lose, I will laugh. But at the end
- 15:40Speaker 11: of the day, they're two and six and one run games.
- 15:43Speaker 11: You guys, like, that's not going to last with a
- 15:45Speaker 11: bullpen this talented, with a roster this talented, they're not
- 15:48Speaker 11: going to keep losing games like that at that rate.
- 15:51Speaker 11: They're ten and thirteen, they're playing the A's, as I
- 15:54Speaker 11: already mentioned, who are eleven and eleven and leading the division.
- 15:58Speaker 11: All we're talking about is a good one, good seven
- 16:02Speaker 11: to ten day stretch and we're there's a very good
- 16:04Speaker 11: chance we'll be talking about a first place team for
- 16:06Speaker 11: the rest of the season. And that's not even praise
- 16:08Speaker 11: of the Mariners. It's just an acknowledgement of the situation.
- 16:11Speaker 11: That we're in in twenty twenty six American League Baseball.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Chris, it's the you sent us the text, I think
- 16:15Speaker 1: Chris on Thursday maybe or Wednesday whenever. It was, maybe
- 16:19Speaker 1: after they got swept before coming home, and it said, okay,
- 16:22Speaker 1: now we're two games into the NFL season, right or
- 16:25Speaker 1: whatever it was. And I'll use the NFL equivalent as
- 16:29Speaker 1: what Nathan was saying there. Basically, the AL West has
- 16:32Speaker 1: turned into the NFC South. Like that's what it is
- 16:36Speaker 1: right now. It's you're the tallest short person if you
- 16:39Speaker 1: win it. But that's the good news because you know,
- 16:42Speaker 1: like it's not like you have a team in this division.
- 16:44Speaker 1: It's gonna cause you any kind of problems if you
- 16:46Speaker 1: play right, Chris to your capabilities. Yeah.
- 16:49Speaker 9: Absolutely.
- 16:50Speaker 10: And by the way, while Nathan couldn't talk about the team,
- 16:53Speaker 10: I had to host a radio show from ten to
- 16:56Speaker 10: one while they were screwing up, and Nathan, I'll trade
- 16:58Speaker 10: you places in a heartbeat. Absolutely, No, I'm joking. It
- 17:02Speaker 10: was awesome to get to do that. But I want
- 17:05Speaker 10: to give you a list of teams. My buddy Megan
- 17:08Speaker 10: Corcoran posted this that as of April twentieth, I'm gonna
- 17:11Speaker 10: give you a list of these teams.
- 17:12Speaker 9: You guys, tell me what they have in common.
- 17:14Speaker 10: The Boston Red Sox, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Kansas
- 17:17Speaker 10: City Royals, the Houston Astros, the Philadelphia Phillies, the New
- 17:20Speaker 10: York Mets, and the San Francisco Giants. You guys have
- 17:22Speaker 10: any guesses what they all have worst records? In the Mariners,
- 17:26Speaker 10: they all have worse records than the Colorado Rockies, is
- 17:30Speaker 10: what I'm going to tell you. So if you want
- 17:32Speaker 10: to talk about how early everything is, there, you go.
- 17:36Speaker 10: Because all of those teams have Playoff aspirations, and in fact,
- 17:39Speaker 10: some of those teams have World Series aspirations. There's just
- 17:43Speaker 10: no denying though that. It was so frustrating to see.
- 17:47Speaker 10: You know, if you're a believer in momentum, Well, if
- 17:49Speaker 10: you're a believer in momentum, by the way, haha, here's
- 17:52Speaker 10: your proof that's not a real thing. Because you get
- 17:54Speaker 10: Friday through Monday and you look so good, and then
- 17:57Speaker 10: then that Sanford San Diego series. Excuse me, outside of
- 18:01Speaker 10: building that six nothing lead, you looked like a much
- 18:05Speaker 10: worse team than the San Diego Padres, and in Friday
- 18:08Speaker 10: was pretty ugly too. Then Saturday and Sunday happened, and
- 18:11Speaker 10: I needed Saturday and Sunday the Seattle Mariners. Whether they
- 18:14Speaker 10: needed it or not, I don't know whether other fans
- 18:17Speaker 10: needed it, I don't know. I needed that reminder of
- 18:19Speaker 10: how talented that baseball team is. I needed that reminder
- 18:22Speaker 10: of Rob Refschneider being one of the best lefty matters
- 18:26Speaker 10: in baseball launching that home run. I needed that reminder of,
- 18:30Speaker 10: you know, just how talented this team is compared to
- 18:35Speaker 10: some of the Seattle Mariner baseball teams of my past.
- 18:38Speaker 10: I need some wins to start happening.
- 18:41Speaker 9: I need to see this team there.
- 18:42Speaker 10: At one point, we're four and thirteen against everybody but
- 18:46Speaker 10: those four awful pitchers of the Houston Astros. But it
- 18:50Speaker 10: was nice to see a reminder Saturday and Sunday of
- 18:52Speaker 10: what can be. We've seen the floor of the Mariners.
- 18:55Speaker 10: It's not great, but we've seen the ceiling of the Mariners,
- 18:58Speaker 10: and I think it is darn good.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean one, eight on the road, nine and
- 19:03Speaker 1: five at home. You know, like yes, it's like that's
- 19:05Speaker 1: that is an interesting little dynamic going on as well.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I was I'm gonna get to one of the things
- 19:11Speaker 1: you will probably be a second segment. Our whole second
- 19:14Speaker 1: segment conversation will be Dan Wilson before we get to that.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Let's let's get to I mentioned this in the first segment.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'll stick with you, Chris, and then Nate jump in.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Starting pitching still carries this team, There's no doubt. Yeah,
- 19:30Speaker 1: I would say starting pitching will carry this team through
- 19:32Speaker 1: the highs and definitely will carry this team through the lows.
- 19:36Speaker 1: You're still gonna give yourself. I mean, really, honestly, I
- 19:38Speaker 1: think if we're being serious, you're gonna have a chance
- 19:40Speaker 1: to win almost every night. You know, Castillo's had a
- 19:43Speaker 1: couple Uh, that's a whole different conversation we can get into.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I thought, man, Brian Wu yesterday. I think all you
- 19:52Speaker 1: need to know about Brian Wu is when he pitches
- 19:54Speaker 1: that gem but yeah, gives up a couple runs in
- 19:57Speaker 1: the wait for it, seventh inning, right, and he's sideways
- 20:02Speaker 1: at himself like that Dude's that dude's compete level is massive,
- 20:07Speaker 1: and I think it trickles down to everybody else as well. Chris.
- 20:11Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know that was fun to watch. It
- 20:14Speaker 10: was fun to watch such an efficient start, and you know,
- 20:17Speaker 10: I don't want to say that I like watching Brian
- 20:20Speaker 10: Wu get mad at his struggles, but I appreciate how
- 20:22Speaker 10: much he cares. Now I also worry sometimes like that
- 20:26Speaker 10: it's gonna go overboard, Like at one point he's going to,
- 20:29Speaker 10: you know, kind of self combust. When you're that handsome,
- 20:33Speaker 10: maybe you can't self combust. It's like ridiculous how handsome
- 20:36Speaker 10: the Seattle Mariner baseball team is, by the way, it's
- 20:38Speaker 10: just stupid. But just watching him care so much is
- 20:43Speaker 10: it's awesome to watch, and it would be cool to
- 20:46Speaker 10: watch even if he was just a.
- 20:48Speaker 9: Back end starter. But no, he's a frontline starter.
- 20:50Speaker 10: He's absolutely a frontline arm who is so much better
- 20:55Speaker 10: than any of us could have anticipated. And I think
- 20:57Speaker 10: that includes the Seattle Mariners. They clearly like the dude.
- 21:00Speaker 10: They saw something at cal Pauly there where they drafted
- 21:03Speaker 10: him as a reliever who had an ERA around seven
- 21:06Speaker 10: in the sixth or seventh round, can't remember which now,
- 21:09Speaker 10: So they clearly liked what Brian Wu could give them.
- 21:12Speaker 10: But he's so much better than we anticipated. But look
- 21:15Speaker 10: at George Kirby pitching into the eighth inning, into his
- 21:17Speaker 10: last two starts. Look at Logan Gilbert. You know, the
- 21:20Speaker 10: last one was a little shaky, but we saw some
- 21:23Speaker 10: versions of Walter. We have seen Emerson Hancock. Gosh, how
- 21:27Speaker 10: good has he been? And you know, I had Justin
- 21:30Speaker 10: Hollander on while while I was hosting, and boy, they're
- 21:34Speaker 10: gonna have an interesting decision to make when Bryce Miller
- 21:36Speaker 10: is ready to go, because that guy has pitched himself
- 21:39Speaker 10: into the discussion. And oh, by the way, Katie Anderson
- 21:42Speaker 10: just dominating in double A long story short, this starting
- 21:46Speaker 10: pitching is really really good.
- 21:48Speaker 9: Nat Yeah, I.
- 21:51Speaker 11: Think that it's I mean, we've been seeing the praises
- 21:53Speaker 11: of this organization's pitching development, particularly in the starting end.
- 21:56Speaker 11: I think almost as long as this show's been going on,
- 21:58Speaker 11: even when we've been the most naked that we've ever
- 22:00Speaker 11: been about this team, I don't think we've ever said
- 22:03Speaker 11: anything other than this is one of the best pitching
- 22:05Speaker 11: development organizations in baseball. And what an incredible, incredible luxury
- 22:10Speaker 11: it is to be able to look at Louis Castillo, who, honestly,
- 22:14Speaker 11: I will see, like Chris said, everything is super super early.
- 22:18Speaker 11: There's a chance that Luis Castillo is a year passes
- 22:20Speaker 11: cell by date. There's a chance like that could be
- 22:22Speaker 11: a thing. He could just be winding down the end
- 22:26Speaker 11: of the most productive part of his career, and if so,
- 22:29Speaker 11: that would be an incredible trade for the marriage that
- 22:31Speaker 11: they did. An incredible contract they assigned him to. No
- 22:33Speaker 11: criticisms everybody want in that deal. But if that's the
- 22:36Speaker 11: case and they need to find someone to replace him,
- 22:39Speaker 11: you're choosing between Emerson Hancock, who Chris already said has
- 22:42Speaker 11: been fantastic, Bryce Miller, who's been an excellent major league
- 22:45Speaker 11: starting pitcher when healthy, and then freaking Kate Anderson, who
- 22:48Speaker 11: looks like a fire breathing dragon down in Double A
- 22:50Speaker 11: who's ready to come down and melt faces all over
- 22:52Speaker 11: Team Mobile Park. So there's not really any other baseball
- 22:57Speaker 11: team that.
- 22:57Speaker 9: I'm aware of.
- 22:58Speaker 11: Chris can correct me if I'm wrong. It has the
- 23:00Speaker 11: combination of upside and depth that the Mayors have in
- 23:04Speaker 11: starting pitching, and it really makes the entire organization fall
- 23:07Speaker 11: into place, because there are plenty of weaknesses everywhere else
- 23:11Speaker 11: on this roster, but the starting pitching sets the tone
- 23:15Speaker 11: for everything else real quick.
- 23:17Speaker 9: I do love to that.
- 23:18Speaker 10: When I was talking to Hollander, I made a Merton
- 23:20Speaker 10: Hank's reference with Kate Anderson because of the neck, and
- 23:23Speaker 10: he appreciated it. So that made me really happy that
- 23:26Speaker 10: I'm not aged out of all of my references just yet,
- 23:30Speaker 10: because boy, I loved watching Merton Hanks in that neck
- 23:33Speaker 10: just wobble wobble, and Kate Anderson has a neck that
- 23:36Speaker 10: is Merton Hanks adjacent justin Hollander's.
- 23:43Speaker 1: And I'm not saying in our town necessarily by any means.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I'm just saying in general terms, there's a lot of
- 23:49Speaker 1: executives and sports that could take a take a page
- 23:52Speaker 1: out of his book on how to do interviews, how
- 23:55Speaker 1: to you know? I mean, I know, Jerry gets is
- 23:58Speaker 1: still kind of the guy, but Hollander comes across as
- 24:01Speaker 1: one of the most likable and probably knowledgeable dudes in sports.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I just yeah, he's really good. All right, let's go
- 24:08Speaker 1: through the it's you know, we unfortunately we live in
- 24:11Speaker 1: a world right now where we're not at this point
- 24:13Speaker 1: yet of you know, crisis mode of you know what,
- 24:16Speaker 1: what's what flag is up? You know, like we had
- 24:18Speaker 1: years ago. Are we at red? Are we at orange?
- 24:21Speaker 1: Or we yellow? Are we green? But if we just
- 24:23Speaker 1: want to go with that for a second, red, red, orange,
- 24:27Speaker 1: yellow or green. Where do the following fall into those categories?
- 24:32Speaker 1: I know Julio's had this great on base streak, that
- 24:35Speaker 1: means that means nothing when you still look at his
- 24:37Speaker 1: other numbers because he still isn't doing much cal five
- 24:41Speaker 1: to eleven ops right now, Naylor worse. Those three guys
- 24:46Speaker 1: have to get going. The starting pitching is great, at
- 24:50Speaker 1: some point, you can't just keep hoping that somebody runs
- 24:52Speaker 1: into a ball like a Res Snyder or a Brendan Donovan.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Randy's obviously been okay as well, but at some point
- 24:59Speaker 1: you have those guys to be your best offensive players
- 25:01Speaker 1: and they just haven't been. So Chris start with you.
- 25:03Speaker 1: What are those guys' rank on that little list?
- 25:07Speaker 10: So again, the guy I'm still the most worried about
- 25:10Speaker 10: his nailor. And by the way, the last time I
- 25:11Speaker 10: did this, he hit two home runs, like within thirty second.
- 25:15Speaker 1: We need to refresh people's memories because there was a
- 25:17Speaker 1: game going on we did We did a molly wop
- 25:19Speaker 1: last Monday. We hadn't done this before. We'd usually moved
- 25:22Speaker 1: it around like if we're going ahead to egg. They
- 25:24Speaker 1: had this weird Monday Day game going on, and so
- 25:27Speaker 1: we said, what the hell will still talk about him?
- 25:29Speaker 1: And judging by the text and everything, we had a
- 25:31Speaker 1: lot of people listening, and we went Andrews, what was it?
- 25:35Speaker 1: We went into a break.
- 25:36Speaker 12: Yeah, you literally tease the break at the end of
- 25:38Speaker 12: the first mon op segment saying, all right, let's talk.
- 25:41Speaker 1: It was not good. And then he hits a home
- 25:43Speaker 1: run of the break, and then by the time we
- 25:45Speaker 1: were done with our next segment and a half, he
- 25:48Speaker 1: had two home runs in the day. Yes, so go ahead,
- 25:50Speaker 1: cal Clutterbuck, Who's is what I see on the screen here?
- 25:53Speaker 13: Uh?
- 25:54Speaker 1: Go ahead, and you go ahead and go after Josh
- 25:56Speaker 1: Naylor right now because he'll have a huge night tonight.
- 25:59Speaker 10: By the way, I'm at running out of funny hockey names,
- 26:01Speaker 10: which is disappointing because the playoffs have another month and
- 26:04Speaker 10: a half to go.
- 26:04Speaker 9: But yeah, that was nice to see.
- 26:07Speaker 10: And you know, it's worth pointing out that he had
- 26:09Speaker 10: a full reach game on Friday. He was one of
- 26:11Speaker 10: the few guys he does get a hits on Saturday.
- 26:14Speaker 10: But he's stunk in that series against San Diego. I
- 26:18Speaker 10: have a hard time saying he's figured things out. And again,
- 26:22Speaker 10: just because of the type of player Josh Nayler is
- 26:26Speaker 10: He's the one I'm most concerned about, because, yeah, those
- 26:29Speaker 10: steals were really fun last year. By the way, has
- 26:31Speaker 10: not stolen a single base a little more understandable. When
- 26:34Speaker 10: you're hitting one forty five with the two thirty one
- 26:36Speaker 10: on base percentage, you don't get a chance to run
- 26:38Speaker 10: as often. But he has to hit in order to
- 26:41Speaker 10: provide value. Cal Can still provide a ton of value
- 26:45Speaker 10: even while going through these struggles. Julio obviously provides a
- 26:49Speaker 10: ton of value with that defense, and thank God for
- 26:51Speaker 10: his defense, because the corner outfielders on this team just.
- 26:55Speaker 9: Stink with the glove.
- 26:57Speaker 10: Josh Naylor has to hit to provide I'm sorry that
- 27:01Speaker 10: you can find other first basemen to play adequate first base.
- 27:05Speaker 9: He has to hit.
- 27:07Speaker 10: And right now, you know, outside of that two homer
- 27:10Speaker 10: game and a little bit of what we saw on Friday,
- 27:13Speaker 10: he's been a bad baseball player. He is the one
- 27:15Speaker 10: of those three that I'm definitely still the most concerned about.
- 27:19Speaker 11: You're talking also about. You know, he's supposed to he's
- 27:22Speaker 11: easily replaceable at first base.
- 27:24Speaker 14: He has the hit well.
- 27:25Speaker 11: Also, I think it was Friday he had two defensive
- 27:27Speaker 11: miscues too, where he dropped an easy throw and the
- 27:29Speaker 11: pitcher over to first base, and then that same inning
- 27:32Speaker 11: dropped a grounder that could have been an easy double
- 27:33Speaker 11: play to get him out of the inning. So he's
- 27:36Speaker 11: just not a good player right now. That doesn't mean
- 27:37Speaker 11: he's not a good baseball player full stop, But right now,
- 27:40Speaker 11: April twenty twenty six, Josh Naylor is a bad baseball
- 27:43Speaker 11: player and that needs to change for this team because,
- 27:46Speaker 11: to Chris's point, Callin and Julio are doing things other
- 27:49Speaker 11: than when they're hitting. Josh Naylor just by the nature
- 27:52Speaker 11: of being a first baseman, even if he were Evan
- 27:54Speaker 11: White at first, there's a throwback again for all the
- 27:56Speaker 11: boys back there. Uh, he's just not going to be
- 27:59Speaker 11: as valuable defense as those guys are because of the
- 28:01Speaker 11: nature of the first base position. There is just a
- 28:03Speaker 11: much easier defensive position to play. So he's the one
- 28:06Speaker 11: that has to get going. The offense is not going
- 28:09Speaker 11: to hum the way that it can until at least
- 28:11Speaker 11: two of those three guys are going, and you're especially
- 28:13Speaker 11: because you're going to see a fall off. Randy has
- 28:15Speaker 11: been fantastic. He's not going to be this good for
- 28:17Speaker 11: the rest of the season. New Grayley has been an
- 28:19Speaker 11: absolute god of fire who is just dropping, you know,
- 28:23Speaker 11: firebombs from heaven down upon all teams that he sees
- 28:25Speaker 11: right now as long as he's facing a right handed batter.
- 28:27Speaker 11: So those guys are not going to be as good.
- 28:29Speaker 11: You need your stars offensively to make this offense lineup
- 28:32Speaker 11: work and just be what it what you think it
- 28:35Speaker 11: can be, which is around something like the eighth to
- 28:38Speaker 11: eleventh best offense in baseball.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Chriss Munio's all right, now, we good with Munio's.
- 28:44Speaker 10: Boy, was it nice to get a reminder over those
- 28:47Speaker 10: last two games of how good that guy is, and
- 28:49Speaker 10: you know, I talk to you about it during cross talk.
- 28:52Speaker 10: It was obviously very concerning that he gave up that
- 28:54Speaker 10: many runs, but let's not forget how he loads the bases,
- 28:57Speaker 10: a double play that could or a double that could
- 29:00Speaker 10: have gotten a speeding ticket, an infield hit from Tye
- 29:03Speaker 10: Ricky Henderson France, and a walk that I think was
- 29:06Speaker 10: a strikeout on the pitch before, and then he gives
- 29:09Speaker 10: up some hard contact. Yeah, but you just saw that
- 29:11Speaker 10: slider is just still absolutely disgusting all of the metrics
- 29:15Speaker 10: outside of walks, and that's always been kind of Munios's bugaboo,
- 29:19Speaker 10: the thing that's probably kept him for being the very
- 29:22Speaker 10: best closer in baseball. All of the other metrics suggested,
- 29:25Speaker 10: Andres Luinos is just fine. And you saw in particular
- 29:29Speaker 10: Sunday the absolute filth that he had with his stuff.
- 29:33Speaker 10: That was a nice reminder. I've actually been really impressed
- 29:36Speaker 10: with what I've seen from this bullpen this year. Jose
- 29:39Speaker 10: Ferrara's had some bad luck with some babib We've seen
- 29:42Speaker 10: Matt Brash look solid. I think Ape Spires done a
- 29:45Speaker 10: really nice job. Even Casey Beans and those guys have
- 29:50Speaker 10: been you know, serviceable bullpen guys.
- 29:53Speaker 9: I've been really impressed with the bullpen.
- 29:56Speaker 11: I think the thing that we need to talk to
- 29:57Speaker 11: the elephant in the room here that we never we
- 29:59Speaker 11: haven't really rest a ton. I kind of dropped it
- 30:01Speaker 11: with Josh Naylor is none of these guys outside of
- 30:04Speaker 11: Muno's and Brash to an extent when he's at his best,
- 30:07Speaker 11: are high strikeout guys, which means that the ball is
- 30:09Speaker 11: getting put into play a lot. And the thing about
- 30:11Speaker 11: the Marior is it's not going to change as long
- 30:13Speaker 11: as this is the group of players that they're running
- 30:16Speaker 11: out there every day. This is a bad defensive baseball team.
- 30:19Speaker 9: It's bad.
- 30:20Speaker 11: They have bad athletes in most of the positions and
- 30:23Speaker 11: or guys who are playing out of position, and they're
- 30:26Speaker 11: just not good at defense. So as long as their
- 30:29Speaker 11: pitchers are giving up contact regularly, even if they're pitching
- 30:32Speaker 11: well and giving up weak contact, there are not guys
- 30:35Speaker 11: out there to go get the ball outside of Julio
- 30:37Speaker 11: and centerfield. I think I made a joke the other
- 30:40Speaker 11: day that Josh Naylor had the strongest arm in the infield.
- 30:43Speaker 11: I'm still not sure if that was a joke. Yeah,
- 30:46Speaker 11: that's not a good thing. So, and that's fine. They're
- 30:49Speaker 11: not designed that's not who they're designed to be. They're
- 30:51Speaker 11: designed to be good at pitching and hitting home runs.
- 30:53Speaker 11: That's how they're going to win games. But when we're
- 30:55Speaker 11: talking about pitching in any struggles of guys are having,
- 30:58Speaker 11: especially when guys are getting babbaged like Munnos was in
- 31:01Speaker 11: San Diego, it's worth noting that there just aren't a
- 31:04Speaker 11: lot of guys with rang and athleticism out there to
- 31:06Speaker 11: go get the ball. And that's not going to change.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Sure, all right, let's do this, take a quick break,
- 31:10Speaker 1: come back We don't usually do this on this show,
- 31:15Speaker 1: but we're going to talk about Dan Wilson, and I
- 31:18Speaker 1: think that's a topic that is murmurs around town, et cetera.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Let's discuss Dan Wilson when we come back.
- 31:32Speaker 6: From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
- 31:37Speaker 6: back to He and Fornez powered by Seattle Closest sports book,

- 31:48Speaker 1: All right, maya wat Monday, brought to you by simply
- 31:50Speaker 1: Seattlesimply Seattle dot com. Coming up at one o'clock. By
- 31:53Speaker 1: the way, news conference out here, I'm at the Virginia
- 31:55Speaker 1: Mason Athletics Center. Is Draft week in the NFL. John
- 31:58Speaker 1: Schneider and Mike mc donald will hold a joint pre
- 32:01Speaker 1: draft news conference here at one o'clock. We will carry
- 32:05Speaker 1: that for you live. It will h here in Seattle.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Unlike the team that they beat in the Super Bowl,
- 32:13Speaker 1: the coach can be part of the pre draft news
- 32:15Speaker 1: conference because he's not you know, he's not he's not
- 32:21Speaker 1: doing other stuff. So oh yeah, he's not. He's not
- 32:25Speaker 1: one half of a career. Yeah, it's not one half
- 32:30Speaker 1: of a career has been torpedoed. Okay, either own doing
- 32:33Speaker 1: by the way, all right, let's I'm gonna ask you
- 32:37Speaker 1: this a different way maybe, and I'll see Chris, I'll
- 32:39Speaker 1: start with you. Is Dan Wilson holding the Mariners back
- 32:44Speaker 1: at all?
- 32:46Speaker 10: Oh boy, this is such a It's a loaded question,
- 32:50Speaker 10: and it's a fair question too, because you know, it's
- 32:54Speaker 10: so funny. I've been thinking about it more and more
- 32:56Speaker 10: because on Thursday I had Keith law and I asked
- 33:01Speaker 10: him about how much he had concern about the Seattle
- 33:04Speaker 10: Mariners and he said none, and then, almost as if
- 33:07Speaker 10: a throwaway line, that became the only thing I thought
- 33:10Speaker 10: about for the next ninety six hours.
- 33:11Speaker 9: He said, but I do.
- 33:13Speaker 10: Worry about Dan Wilson, and I do worry about the
- 33:16Speaker 10: decision making of Dan Wilson.
- 33:17Speaker 9: And I said, oh, so this is.
- 33:20Speaker 10: Just not us local yahoos to watch every game and
- 33:23Speaker 10: pay too much attention to it.
- 33:25Speaker 9: This is a national thing.
- 33:26Speaker 10: And I hate to be a ad fallacy prisoner of
- 33:30Speaker 10: the moment guy. But boy, oh boy, the more I
- 33:34Speaker 10: think about it, the more I know that he's not
- 33:36Speaker 10: making him better, and the things he is making them
- 33:40Speaker 10: better at are things that I can't tangibly prove. So
- 33:44Speaker 10: it's really hard for me to say anything other than, boy,
- 33:48Speaker 10: the players just must love this, dude, because there are
- 33:52Speaker 10: decisions that are Madian that just boggle your mind. Pinch
- 33:56Speaker 10: hitting decisions, bullpen decisions, line up decisions, all things that
- 34:02Speaker 10: just make you go huh. And that's the best you
- 34:06Speaker 10: can say, is the huh. And at times it's much
- 34:09Speaker 10: worse than that. And I'll just be honest with you, man,
- 34:12Speaker 10: since Game seven one of the worst decisions by a
- 34:15Speaker 10: manager in Seattle Marinersports history, if not the worst, in fact,
- 34:19Speaker 10: it's the worst because we've never had anything like it.
- 34:22Speaker 10: That adds up. You know, you cannot ignore that decision
- 34:27Speaker 10: to go to Bizardo instead of Munno's in that situation
- 34:30Speaker 10: every time you think of it.
- 34:31Speaker 9: Is that fair?
- 34:32Speaker 10: Absolutely not. But it's the reality of the situation is
- 34:36Speaker 10: I've seen you screw up on a biblical level. So
- 34:40Speaker 10: all of these little decisions that you are making that
- 34:43Speaker 10: are at the very best questionable, they add up.
- 34:47Speaker 9: And I gotta be honest.
- 34:49Speaker 10: It made me feel good is not the right word,
- 34:51Speaker 10: but it made me feel a little vindicated that other
- 34:54Speaker 10: people are having this conversation about Dan Wilson. So to
- 34:57Speaker 10: answer your question, I don't you know if Dan Wilson
- 35:00Speaker 10: is holding him back. I have real doubts about whether
- 35:03Speaker 10: he's making them better.
- 35:05Speaker 11: Nathan, I'm pretty comfortable saying I don't think that Dan
- 35:09Speaker 11: Wilson is optimizing this team.
- 35:12Speaker 9: To the best of its abilities.
- 35:14Speaker 11: I will say that Scott servis in his time here.
- 35:17Speaker 11: He was here for a long time in one run games,
- 35:20Speaker 11: which I think is like not a be all, end
- 35:23Speaker 11: all stat or anything, but it's a decent way. Like
- 35:25Speaker 11: manager decisions have more weight in high leverage situations like
- 35:29Speaker 11: one run games. He was two hundred and thirty five
- 35:31Speaker 11: and one hundred and eighty five and one run games.
- 35:33Speaker 11: That's a lot of one run games. He's fifty games
- 35:36Speaker 11: over five hundred in one run games as a Seattle
- 35:39Speaker 11: Mariner manager. At this point, in coming up on something
- 35:43Speaker 11: like two seasons as a Mariner manager, Dan Wilson's thirty
- 35:45Speaker 11: nine and thirty eight one game over five hundred. Is
- 35:50Speaker 11: that Could that swing like in two months where the
- 35:52Speaker 11: team goes ten to two or whatever in the next
- 35:54Speaker 11: twelve one run games.
- 35:55Speaker 1: It sure could.
- 35:56Speaker 11: I don't think it's likely because I don't think that
- 35:58Speaker 11: Dan Wilson has a great tactical feel, feel for the
- 36:01Speaker 11: way these things work. And it's for all of the
- 36:04Speaker 11: reasons that Chris said. It's it's a pattern. It's not
- 36:07Speaker 11: just if it were just Bizardo in Game seven, then
- 36:11Speaker 11: the emotion would make sense. It would still make sense
- 36:14Speaker 11: to me to feel very scared about having Dan Wilson
- 36:17Speaker 11: as your manager of this baseball team, because if this
- 36:19Speaker 11: team gets into a similar situation next this coming season,
- 36:22Speaker 11: which were this current season, which we all hope they will,
- 36:25Speaker 11: I'm gonna be terrified. He's gonna make the exact same choice.
- 36:28Speaker 11: But that wasn't the only time that he did it.
- 36:29Speaker 11: It's just that was exactly the kind of stuff Dan
- 36:32Speaker 11: Wilson had been doing his entire time as a manager
- 36:34Speaker 11: and has continued to do as his time as manager.
- 36:37Speaker 11: It just so happened the Marys were eight outs from
- 36:39Speaker 11: the World Series at the time, so a lot more
- 36:41Speaker 11: people noticed and at Chris's point, I don't have Chris's
- 36:44Speaker 11: connections at the national level, but I do know some people,
- 36:47Speaker 11: and I know that nationally speaking, he is not well
- 36:51Speaker 11: thought of, not as a guy. Everybody loves him as
- 36:54Speaker 11: a human being. Nobody has anything bad to say about
- 36:56Speaker 11: him as a person, but just just.
- 36:57Speaker 1: As a manager.
- 36:58Speaker 11: The idea of this organization taking I would say, it's
- 37:03Speaker 11: second real championship window and its fifty year history outside
- 37:07Speaker 11: of like two thousand and two thousand to three, and
- 37:09Speaker 11: putting a total unknown, a complete wild card who I
- 37:14Speaker 11: would love to know what the actual thought process was
- 37:17Speaker 11: to hiring him to put that in charge of this group.
- 37:21Speaker 11: At this moment, it feels like you're leaving meat on
- 37:25Speaker 11: the bone with the organization. For an organization that thinks
- 37:27Speaker 11: of itself and prides itself for being so analytically sufficient, knowledgeable,
- 37:36Speaker 11: very good at getting the most out of whatever they have,
- 37:39Speaker 11: to leave so much on the table at the manager
- 37:41Speaker 11: position feels off to me as a fan.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Chris, you mentioned though, the feel for the game too,
- 37:47Speaker 1: Like there's no doubt this listen in today's world of
- 37:51Speaker 1: all in all sports, you should lean on the numbers
- 37:54Speaker 1: and all the research that is at your fingertips. But
- 37:58Speaker 1: in baseball with a manager, there are times that you
- 38:02Speaker 1: were going to have to have a feel. I thought
- 38:05Speaker 1: the other night, look at Luke Rayley doesn't hit one
- 38:09Speaker 1: side of the plate. That's fine, But Connor Joe was
- 38:12Speaker 1: your replacement. Yeah, I just that's those are the ones that,
- 38:17Speaker 1: like if if it was a one off, like like
- 38:19Speaker 1: last year with Bizardolph, it's like a one off, like okay, whatever, right,
- 38:21Speaker 1: it just feels like, okay, I get it, but you
- 38:25Speaker 1: got a four A guy coming up right like things
- 38:27Speaker 1: like that, Like it just it's you know you texted
- 38:29Speaker 1: us yesterday, like just doesn't have a feel for when
- 38:32Speaker 1: to change the starting He's looking at pitch count, not
- 38:34Speaker 1: as you know, whatever else he should be looking at.
- 38:37Speaker 1: I guess that's the frustration, right, Like Nate said, this
- 38:40Speaker 1: team's too good not to have the right guy in charge.
- 38:44Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think what the frustration for me is.
- 38:47Speaker 10: I think every first time manager you're going to expect
- 38:51Speaker 10: growing pains, just like any other sport. First year NFL
- 38:54Speaker 10: head coach, first year, NBA first day, or NHL whatever,
- 38:57Speaker 10: you expect growing pains, but you expect growing pains because
- 39:01Speaker 10: the pains lead to growth. All I'm seeing is pains, right,
- 39:05Speaker 10: I'm not seeing the actual growth. And the sample size
- 39:08Speaker 10: is not that small anymore.
- 39:10Speaker 9: Guys.
- 39:10Speaker 10: It's well over or not well over, but it's over
- 39:13Speaker 10: two hundred games managed. Now the mistakes and again it's
- 39:17Speaker 10: subjective whether the mistakes or not right, like it's subjective
- 39:21Speaker 10: on It's all in the eye of the beholder. And
- 39:23Speaker 10: you can't ignore the clubhouse stuff. And I think Dan
- 39:26Speaker 10: Wilson has done a better job in this clubhouse than
- 39:28Speaker 10: Scott Servis was doing at this clubhouse as well, but
- 39:32Speaker 10: that the actual in game management matters a lot, especially
- 39:37Speaker 10: in a sport like baseball. And at the very least
- 39:39Speaker 10: I've seen Dan Wilson cost this team wins and that's
- 39:43Speaker 10: frustrating because this is now a third year manager who
- 39:47Speaker 10: just still seems to make the same mistakes over and
- 39:51Speaker 10: over again, and the process and the results aren't adding up.
- 39:55Speaker 11: And it's sorry, can add one thing to that too.
- 39:58Speaker 4: This is so easy to do.
- 40:00Speaker 11: And I know when people hear this, they think, you know,
- 40:02Speaker 11: hindsight's twenty twenty, like you're only going after this guy
- 40:04Speaker 11: when stuff doesn't work, And I can't put you as
- 40:06Speaker 11: a fly on the wall like when we're sitting watching games.
- 40:09Speaker 11: But I mean a lot of the times you can
- 40:11Speaker 11: see this stuff coming in real time. And yeah, I'm
- 40:14Speaker 11: just saying it now after the fact, but to your point, Ian,
- 40:17Speaker 11: you know, I understand why you pinch hit Connor Joe
- 40:20Speaker 11: for Luke Raley and to avoid a lefty lefty matchup.
- 40:22Speaker 11: But as that's happening, I'm thinking two things. One, Luke
- 40:25Speaker 11: Railey is the hottest hitter on this team right now,
- 40:27Speaker 11: so you're taking that out of the equation for a
- 40:29Speaker 11: guy who's not really fit to play for the Pirates
- 40:33Speaker 11: or the Rockies. And also, in addition to that, it's
- 40:37Speaker 11: the sixth inning, so you know that the lineup is
- 40:39Speaker 11: going to turn over again. And now you're stuck with
- 40:42Speaker 11: another at bat from Connor Joe, the guy that we
- 40:44Speaker 11: were talking about who couldn't pitch, couldn't play for the
- 40:47Speaker 11: Pirates or for the Rockies. So and you're seeing that
- 40:50Speaker 11: as saying it in real time, and sure enough, Connor
- 40:52Speaker 11: Joe gets another huge, high leverage at bat in the
- 40:54Speaker 11: eighth inning. To his credit, you put a good swing
- 40:56Speaker 11: on it just happened to get caught. But it's like,
- 40:58Speaker 11: we shouldn't be able to say that stuff in real
- 41:00Speaker 11: time like it should. It's one thing to come on
- 41:02Speaker 11: here and just be a crank and be like, oh,
- 41:04Speaker 11: what a stupid choice because it didn't work or whatever,
- 41:06Speaker 11: But no, I promise you if we're seeing it if
- 41:10Speaker 11: I'm seeing it, Chris is smart. If I am seeing it,
- 41:13Speaker 11: A lot of really smart people out there are seeing it,
- 41:16Speaker 11: and they are filing it away, and it's forming an
- 41:19Speaker 11: opinion in the industry that this guy is not up
- 41:22Speaker 11: to the standard that this organization at this moment should
- 41:25Speaker 11: be expecting out of their manager.
- 41:26Speaker 1: All Right, six games the next seven days, three against
- 41:29Speaker 1: the A's, three in Saint Louis against the Cardinals. Chris,
- 41:31Speaker 1: what's a good week?
- 41:33Speaker 10: Got to finally have a four and two week, man like,
- 41:35Speaker 10: it's time. It's time for a winning week. The A's
- 41:39Speaker 10: present some challenges, but it's still you should be a
- 41:42Speaker 10: much better team than them. And Saint Louis has a
- 41:45Speaker 10: very poor roster. That's a team that you should be.
- 41:47Speaker 10: Do not try the pizza. It's absolutely disgusting. It should
- 41:49Speaker 10: be a four and two week for the Seattle Mayre

- 44:12Speaker 8: It's the only time in this studio we we'll say
- 44:14Speaker 8: go Ducks.
- 44:15Speaker 4: Yeah right.
- 44:17Speaker 8: Right, all right, we're talking Anahe, I'm obviously in the

- 45:06Speaker 8: I'm Justinan McIntyre joined by ANDREWS. Harris says Ian is
- 45:09Speaker 8: just being the journalistic integrity guy.
- 45:12Speaker 4: He wants to be there, he should want to be there.
- 45:16Speaker 3: He is.
- 45:16Speaker 8: He is going to be in the press conference and
- 45:19Speaker 8: we will have it for you here live as soon
- 45:21Speaker 8: as it starts. As you know, these are very busy men,
- 45:24Speaker 8: super Bowl champion winning men who need to probably got
- 45:31Speaker 8: some eyes, cross some te's and will learn a little
- 45:33Speaker 8: bit more as we are leading up to this draft.
- 45:35Speaker 8: Obviously we're not looking for breaking news out of this
- 45:38Speaker 8: thing because they've been media trained.
- 45:40Speaker 4: So well, oh yes they have. The Seahawks know what
- 45:43Speaker 4: they're doing.
- 45:43Speaker 12: They don't want to give us exactly who they're who's
- 45:45Speaker 12: on their big board and all that stuff.
- 45:47Speaker 4: But do you think they're going to trade that first pick?
- 45:49Speaker 7: What do you think?
- 45:50Speaker 8: Could you think that thirty two in an NFL draft
- 45:53Speaker 8: for this team is thirty two that one person pick
- 45:57Speaker 8: worth more than a couple more in later rounds, which
- 46:01Speaker 8: where they've seen more success than early rounds.
- 46:04Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it all depends on kind of obviously
- 46:06Speaker 12: how the first round plays out. If they have a
- 46:08Speaker 12: guy that they really really want, I could see them
- 46:11Speaker 12: doing it. But as Ian has mentioned multiple times, you
- 46:14Speaker 12: have to give that extra year in their rookie contract
- 46:17Speaker 12: for the first round pick. It's five years instead of four. Yes,
- 46:21Speaker 12: so it's just getting a couple spots back could actually
- 46:25Speaker 12: give you a lot of value down the road as well.
- 46:27Speaker 12: So we'll kind of see what ends up happening. But
- 46:30Speaker 12: there could be a Nick e min Worri situation. Remember
- 46:33Speaker 12: he was kind of projected to be like a first
- 46:35Speaker 12: round pick for a long time. And the Seahawks they
- 46:38Speaker 12: didn't trade into the first round, but they traded the
- 46:40Speaker 12: very very beginning of the second round. If they have
- 46:44Speaker 12: a guy like that where they feel like they need
- 46:45Speaker 12: to get him, they could just pull the trigger and
- 46:48Speaker 12: be like, all right, you know what, we need to
- 46:49Speaker 12: have this guy in there.
- 46:50Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
- 46:50Speaker 8: I'm always fascinated by the way that they work their
- 46:53Speaker 8: boards too, because it's almost like the way like a
- 46:56Speaker 8: financial analyst would work, where you know, you're always looking
- 47:00Speaker 8: at the value and and that. But that that reminds
- 47:02Speaker 8: me of DK. I remember the draft call, and that's
- 47:06Speaker 8: my favorite thing. I love that NFL teams put those
- 47:08Speaker 8: calls out. It's amazing and him crying what took you
- 47:13Speaker 8: so long?
- 47:13Speaker 5: Man?
- 47:15Speaker 3: It was so sweet and genuine, and.
- 47:18Speaker 8: He was highly projected as being a first round pick
- 47:22Speaker 8: and I just loved seeing that. But I got the
- 47:26Speaker 8: most out of him while he was at the least cost.
- 47:30Speaker 8: And there were several other people. I mean, you could
- 47:33Speaker 8: say Frank Clark falls into that category as well, and
- 47:37Speaker 8: then you kind of.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Go asset liability.
- 47:40Speaker 8: He had other things, but there's as at liability. Where
- 47:45Speaker 8: do we go here? Cost benefit analysis? And I think
- 47:48Speaker 8: you're right that. Yeah, I didn't even think about that
- 47:50Speaker 8: fifth year thing, how that could play into it.
- 47:53Speaker 12: Yeah, it's big, makes a big difference because if you
- 47:57Speaker 12: want a lot of teams like doing that to quarterbacks
- 48:01Speaker 12: because they know they want to give them a couple
- 48:03Speaker 12: extra years to kind of figure out the league and
- 48:05Speaker 12: stuff like that.
- 48:06Speaker 8: Oh yeah, that's a different So yeah, they're set at quarterback.
- 48:10Speaker 12: They're not. But you could have a team that wants
- 48:12Speaker 12: to draft a quarterback come into the end of that
- 48:14Speaker 12: first round to do that exact same thing. So they
- 48:16Speaker 12: have Again that's the part about this that is hard
- 48:20Speaker 12: to think about. You have to find someone who wants
- 48:22Speaker 12: that spot. You can't just trade it away for nothing,
- 48:24Speaker 12: you know what I mean. So I'm interested to see
- 48:27Speaker 12: kind of what their thought process is there, I think,
- 48:29Speaker 12: because they have very few actual needs, but they do
- 48:35Speaker 12: have a couple of holes to fill. Yeah, they just
- 48:39Speaker 12: getting one or two spotil would be good.
- 48:41Speaker 5: All right.
- 48:41Speaker 12: So we're going to the podium now with John Schneier
- 48:44Speaker 12: and Mike McDonald.
- 48:46Speaker 15: So, yeah, thanks for coming out. We're getting ready for
- 48:50Speaker 15: seventeenth draft year, which is amazing. Time flies, Mike, and
- 48:57Speaker 15: I want to thank everybody involved in the process in
- 49:01Speaker 15: the kitchen. E K's group obviously, the scouts, the coaches,
- 49:07Speaker 15: Dave's group, and yeah, you know, everything that goes into it, uh,
- 49:12Speaker 15: the psychology of it, the medical group as well, and.
- 49:18Speaker 7: Yeah, just huge thanks to everybody. We had a really
- 49:21Speaker 7: cool process.
- 49:22Speaker 2: Uh.
- 49:23Speaker 15: He's got done with the coaches on Saturday, and uh
- 49:27Speaker 15: more meetings this morning.
- 49:29Speaker 7: Yeah, so we'll have, you know, kind of.
- 49:32Speaker 15: Getting a note, getting to feel what's going on in
- 49:34Speaker 15: the league.
- 49:34Speaker 7: Certain a lot of calls this uh.
- 49:36Speaker 15: This week with our guys upstairs, you know, Nohen and Trent, Willie, Matt, Barry,
- 49:42Speaker 15: Aaron and those guys and.
- 49:44Speaker 2: Theah.
- 49:45Speaker 15: The process has been awesome obviously. Uh, we're kind of
- 49:48Speaker 15: able to tweak some things with rookie free agency because uh,
- 49:52Speaker 15: it's gonna be a big deal for us. But uh,
- 49:55Speaker 15: you know Day's point earlier, just a couple of minutes ago.
- 49:58Speaker 15: We do have a young football team, and we had
- 50:01Speaker 15: a lot of uh we had a lot of second
- 50:02Speaker 15: year guy.
- 50:03Speaker 7: Year players on our roster.
- 50:06Speaker 2: Uh.
- 50:06Speaker 7: So yeah, with that, you have any questions, what, if
- 50:12Speaker 7: anything do.
- 50:12Speaker 10: You tweak about the process when you look at a
- 50:14Speaker 10: number of draft picks that you have compared to past.
- 50:17Speaker 7: Years, you mean the lack thereof yes, uh yeah.
- 50:22Speaker 15: We just we just uh we just attacked it. I
- 50:24Speaker 15: don't know it's exactly what we did, but we just
- 50:26Speaker 15: did some like extra meeting and feel like it's gonna
- 50:29Speaker 15: help us in the future because we uh we kind
- 50:32Speaker 15: of uh streamlined some things with with the coaching staff
- 50:35Speaker 15: and feel like we're just kind of out ahead a
- 50:37Speaker 15: little bit better maybe than in the future or in
- 50:41Speaker 15: the past. So uh, moving towards the future. I think
- 50:44Speaker 15: it's gonna be awesome part of our process. Just the
- 50:47Speaker 15: uh the time focused on freegency.
- 50:50Speaker 7: What did you learn from the twenty twenty one draft.
- 50:53Speaker 15: I mean, obviously it was a different year compared to
- 50:55Speaker 15: the other fifteen that you've been Seattle taken any at
- 50:58Speaker 15: least eight picks and every other draft after that.
- 51:02Speaker 7: Yeah, well that was I mean, shoot, that that was.
- 51:07Speaker 15: That was kind of an interesting time, right, I mean,
- 51:10Speaker 15: you know, we're getting ready for when you look at
- 51:14Speaker 15: how we scouted and you know, using all the all
- 51:18Speaker 15: the zoom calls and you know, all the FaceTime stuff
- 51:21Speaker 15: we do now, it was really we were just confronted
- 51:25Speaker 15: with that, you know, and and it's really helped it
- 51:28Speaker 15: it's just really now, it's just a part of our
- 51:30Speaker 15: whole process of coaches. The scouts and the coaches do
- 51:33Speaker 15: an awesome job with it. And so really the the uh,
- 51:35Speaker 15: the process of evaluating the guys, kind of getting to
- 51:39Speaker 15: know them, spending more time with them on the zooms
- 51:42Speaker 15: has really helped.
- 51:43Speaker 16: This is your third draft now with with Mike and
- 51:45Speaker 16: the coaching staff. Have you seen as you've gotten to
- 51:48Speaker 16: know each other better in the coaching staff better just
- 51:50Speaker 16: that process of all the prepared for a draft with
- 51:52Speaker 16: this coaching staff.
- 51:54Speaker 15: Yeah, they're coming around with their sense of humor. They're uh, yeah,
- 51:58Speaker 15: we're no, it's it's, it's it's it's really the most
- 52:02Speaker 15: fun part of the process is when we spend those
- 52:06Speaker 15: days with the coaches. We have a lot of interaction
- 52:07Speaker 15: throughout the whole process. So it's fun to kind of
- 52:10Speaker 15: like get every together in that room and and uh
- 52:13Speaker 15: and just go through everybody and hear everybody out and
- 52:16Speaker 15: see what the vision is for for the coaches for
- 52:19Speaker 15: these players.
- 52:20Speaker 17: There are some teams that are choosing to not meet
- 52:22Speaker 17: with as many players and they worry it's going to
- 52:25Speaker 17: bias them by meeting the person. I'm curious why you
- 52:27Speaker 17: guys choose to spend as much time as you.
- 52:29Speaker 2: Do as the players.
- 52:32Speaker 15: I mean, I just think that that we totally don't
- 52:34Speaker 15: know exactly who the person is, so you're trying to
- 52:36Speaker 15: spend as much time as you possibly can. Even once
- 52:39Speaker 15: once they're in the building, we think we want to
- 52:41Speaker 15: have as great of a feel for them as we
- 52:43Speaker 15: possibly can, but we're still learning them and how to
- 52:46Speaker 15: help them succeed and reach their true potential.
- 52:50Speaker 7: So that's every you know, a lot of people.
- 52:52Speaker 15: Do things differently, and you know, you just have to
- 52:55Speaker 15: be appliable and keep learning.
- 52:56Speaker 7: Mike's here too. If you guys got any questions stremely Mike.
- 52:59Speaker 1: This is your your third go around now in the
- 53:02Speaker 1: pre draft process.
- 53:04Speaker 18: What do you feel like you've grown the most now
- 53:05Speaker 18: compared to when you were first year coach going through
- 53:08Speaker 18: this and the way that you guys structured your process.
- 53:13Speaker 19: Well, I just my appreciation for the like the amount
- 53:17Speaker 19: of work that goes into I mean there's a lot
- 53:19Speaker 19: of information being you know, you know, harvested over the
- 53:25Speaker 19: over the course of you know, years of work, so
- 53:28Speaker 19: kind of understanding how our process is now. Probably my
- 53:33Speaker 19: role in the whole process is probably clear and you kind
- 53:37Speaker 19: of dump jump in head first this first couple of years.
- 53:39Speaker 19: But now you know, you kind of see where where
- 53:42Speaker 19: my role kind of fits in. And so it's just
- 53:45Speaker 19: it's just just clarity, you know. But I'll tell you what,
- 53:49Speaker 19: Like I just I really appreciate the amount of work
- 53:50Speaker 19: that goes into it. I mean, even our coaches, like
- 53:52Speaker 19: they come in at the eleventh hour, Like I think
- 53:54Speaker 19: they have a great understanding of you know, what it
- 53:58Speaker 19: takes to generate this information from our scoutter department and
- 54:01Speaker 19: how great they do, but you know, adding the vision
- 54:04Speaker 19: for how we would probably you know, play each player,
- 54:07Speaker 19: and there's a lot of time where they're spending individually
- 54:10Speaker 19: with these guys to really just gain that extra you know,
- 54:13Speaker 19: feeling for who they are, like John's talking about. And
- 54:15Speaker 19: so just really appreciate everybody's effort up to.
- 54:18Speaker 4: This point in that process.
- 54:21Speaker 19: Now probably less why just like I said, just like
- 54:26Speaker 19: there's my my you know, I'm not my job's not
- 54:30Speaker 19: to community hind My job is to work with people
- 54:35Speaker 19: throughout the process. So and we got a lot of
- 54:38Speaker 19: really smart people that are really good evaluators, and uh
- 54:42Speaker 19: so want not hear them out and then we can
- 54:44Speaker 19: kind of work work what's best for us as as
- 54:46Speaker 19: like each situation starts to unfold, john.
- 54:50Speaker 20: The changes here, I think, going from what is it
- 54:52Speaker 20: ten minutes to eight minutes between picks in the first round,
- 54:55Speaker 20: do you see that potentially impacting team's ability to pull
- 54:58Speaker 20: off trades and does that require you to do anything
- 55:01Speaker 20: differently in preparations for the first round?
- 55:03Speaker 15: No, I think that that you're usually ahead anyway, You're
- 55:07Speaker 15: a couple of picks ahead or and so it's just
- 55:10Speaker 15: that time that you know that extra two minutes is
- 55:14Speaker 15: not gonna make a difference in terms of trading, moving
- 55:17Speaker 15: around that sort of thing.
- 55:18Speaker 7: Everybody, you try.
- 55:19Speaker 15: To line stuff up, you know, really, I mean you
- 55:23Speaker 15: try to do it this week, but really, guys, get
- 55:25Speaker 15: people get serious, you know, like Thursday, Thursday morning, just
- 55:30Speaker 15: throughout the day talking on the phone, we're talking about
- 55:34Speaker 15: trading up and training down all that.
- 55:36Speaker 16: Yeah, Johnny, Historically, do you see that end of the
- 55:38Speaker 16: first round pick being one that can be a play
- 55:41Speaker 16: for a lot of teams because of you know, whether
- 55:43Speaker 16: it's the fifth year option or just the last one
- 55:45Speaker 16: of the day. You just didn't your observations over the years.
- 55:48Speaker 7: Definitely it's the pick that everybody wants.
- 55:50Speaker 15: I mean it's like a it's a a you're you know,
- 55:54Speaker 15: you're blessed enough to win a super Bowl, right and
- 55:56Speaker 15: then a fifth year option right there. And I mean
- 55:59Speaker 15: it's no secret with us guys. I mean, you know,
- 56:01Speaker 15: we have four picks, so we'll be looking to we'll
- 56:04Speaker 15: be looking to move back, and people are usually understanding that.
- 56:10Speaker 15: You know, I think we tend to trend backwards.
- 56:15Speaker 7: Trade back. We've traded up, We've traded up for Tyler
- 56:20Speaker 7: and our punter and yeah, Nick, Yeah, so we do
- 56:29Speaker 7: do that.
- 56:29Speaker 15: It's not that we don't do that all four times.
- 56:33Speaker 21: Is it's either the three, the thirties or the.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Combines or local day yep.
- 56:40Speaker 21: Can you get an example of those that became decisive
- 56:43Speaker 21: and you picked the guide based solely or what you
- 56:46Speaker 21: learned fighting to get deeper in those business.
- 56:51Speaker 7: Whoa oh manheard of?
- 56:57Speaker 8: No?
- 56:57Speaker 7: I think, you know, I think it's that's that's a
- 56:59Speaker 7: fair question.
- 57:00Speaker 15: I think, uh, like having Frank Clark in here and
- 57:02Speaker 15: spending time with him and going through that whole process
- 57:04Speaker 15: with him, and you know, obviously it was somewhat controversial
- 57:07Speaker 15: and but being able to you know, have him in,
- 57:13Speaker 15: you know, Nick and a Moory last year. What's the vision,
- 57:17Speaker 15: what's it going to look like? But every year there's
- 57:19Speaker 15: a there's a ton of them, so it's hard to
- 57:23Speaker 15: but you know, the the also the thirty visits for
- 57:26Speaker 15: you know, rookie free agency and and uh in the local.
- 57:30Speaker 7: Day for for free rookie free agency.
- 57:31Speaker 15: As well, and there's a lot of there's a lot
- 57:33Speaker 15: of talented players out there that you know are not
- 57:35Speaker 15: are not going to get drafted.
- 57:37Speaker 7: You know, when when you.
- 57:38Speaker 15: Preach, you know you're talking about you know, you're a
- 57:41Speaker 15: strong one hundred and twenty person.
- 57:45Speaker 7: Like group throughout the whole year.
- 57:47Speaker 15: You know from you know you won't We'll have one
- 57:50Speaker 15: hundred and twenty guys through here every year, so one
- 57:52Speaker 15: hundred and twenty to ninety to you know, to our seventy.
- 57:58Speaker 15: It's getting to know all these guys. So I think
- 58:02Speaker 15: so Dave was saying, we've had thirty two under strict
- 58:04Speaker 15: to guys make our opening day roster since twenty ten
- 58:09Speaker 15: and we've been we've been blessed to be able to work
- 58:12Speaker 15: with staffs that are very open to you know, it's
- 58:15Speaker 15: not you know where you're where you get acquired or
- 58:17Speaker 15: how you start. It's like how you buy into the
- 58:19Speaker 15: program and the process and to all the tools that
- 58:23Speaker 15: we provide in this building to help you.
- 58:25Speaker 17: Like, you guys aren't a static you know process for
- 58:28Speaker 17: your team or scheme or how you do things. So
- 58:30Speaker 17: when you got a player like Nicki Minmorry last year
- 58:32Speaker 17: in the draft, ends up changing kind of what you
- 58:35Speaker 17: can do, what's kind.
- 58:36Speaker 9: Of the order of operation.
- 58:37Speaker 17: Do you guys come up with new things that you
- 58:39Speaker 17: want that then help inform when you're looking to pick,
- 58:41Speaker 17: or do you then react to who you get and
- 58:43Speaker 17: maybe change some of what you're capable of based off
- 58:46Speaker 17: of that.
- 58:47Speaker 19: I think we try to be probably more of the former,
- 58:50Speaker 19: where you know you're you're constantly evaluating where you are
- 58:55Speaker 19: as a team, where you know each position group, the
- 58:58Speaker 19: things that you're anticipating be able to have to do
- 59:00Speaker 19: from like going into next year, where do we need
- 59:03Speaker 19: to take our scheme? How do we kind of just
- 59:07Speaker 19: kind of level up to the next you know, to
- 59:08Speaker 19: the next stage and uh and that's communicated through our
- 59:11Speaker 19: process and so I think I think our our personnel
- 59:16Speaker 19: folks do a great job of Like I think that
- 59:19Speaker 19: communication right now is at a great, great position of
- 59:21Speaker 19: what we're looking for from each position. And then you
- 59:24Speaker 19: know there's there's guys that it happens all the time
- 59:26Speaker 19: that you're going to get a really talented player that
- 59:28Speaker 19: maybe you didn't have initially a great vision for him,
- 59:31Speaker 19: and you just you know, you can't be denied. And
- 59:34Speaker 19: and then that's when you know that's our job as
- 59:36Speaker 19: coaches to move and shake and make make that person's
- 59:38Speaker 19: talents come to life. But you also, you know there's
- 59:42Speaker 19: only so many exceptions you can make that sort of thing,
- 59:44Speaker 19: So that's it's always moving. But I think we we
- 59:46Speaker 19: we tend towards the former.
- 59:48Speaker 15: When there's alignment with the visions, it's what everything just yeah,
- 59:53Speaker 15: comes together.
- 59:54Speaker 17: H You know, you guys don't really care about draft
- 59:56Speaker 17: grades and what everyone else does. And I'm curious from
- 59:58Speaker 17: your perspective as a GM, how do you evaluate or
- 1:00:01Speaker 17: like what earns your respect that another GM does through
- 1:00:05Speaker 17: the draft process.
- 1:00:08Speaker 15: I mean it sounds corny, but it's basically like when
- 1:00:10Speaker 15: you're you're going through a draft and the names just
- 1:00:12Speaker 15: keep coming off, like with the specific teams.
- 1:00:15Speaker 7: Where you're like and.
- 1:00:17Speaker 15: You know and not I think I've talked to you before.
- 1:00:19Speaker 15: I especially had with Mike that it happened with Ozzie
- 1:00:22Speaker 15: all the time in Baltimore, and then you know, uh,
- 1:00:26Speaker 15: Eric Tacosta, and then there's you know, there's several other
- 1:00:29Speaker 15: but Baltimore has always been, for some one reason or another,
- 1:00:31Speaker 15: has always been a team that the names start coming
- 1:00:33Speaker 15: off and you're like, dang, like it hurts, you know, but.
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's.
- 1:00:40Speaker 7: You know it is.
- 1:00:41Speaker 15: It is ends up being the Seahawks draft board, and
- 1:00:43Speaker 15: the vision for like are that these players not necessarily
- 1:00:48Speaker 15: the National Football League.
- 1:00:49Speaker 7: So there are players.
- 1:00:50Speaker 15: That are a certain level that you know, on the board,
- 1:00:53Speaker 15: it might be a little bit lower that you know,
- 1:00:55Speaker 15: we have a we still really like, but maybe the
- 1:00:58Speaker 15: vision's not quite as clear as as people are taken higher,
- 1:01:01Speaker 15: but you're still like, man, you respect it.
- 1:01:03Speaker 7: Wow, that's a great pick.
- 1:01:04Speaker 15: Like that's a you know, six' two corner running four
- 1:01:10Speaker 15: three and stuff like.
- 1:01:10Speaker 21: That how do both you feel about the running back.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Situation you have right?
- 1:01:14Speaker 21: Now?
- 1:01:15Speaker 15: YEAH i, LIKE i, mean LIKE i, think you, Know
- 1:01:20Speaker 15: Sidon wilson really helps us in this year's draft as,
- 1:01:23Speaker 15: well kind.
- 1:01:23Speaker 7: Of give us some.
- 1:01:24Speaker 15: Freedom and we've talked About George sharp's doing great, YEAH
- 1:01:31Speaker 15: i know We, well.
- 1:01:32Speaker 19: The guys are back in, today so we have to see.

- 1:01:42Speaker 19: we're not going to play for Another, thankfully we don't
- 1:01:45Speaker 19: want to play for another five or so. Months you,
- 1:01:47Speaker 19: know we had a lot of training to.
- 1:01:48Speaker 21: Do he's a guy Like cardier right fitting been around the.
- 1:01:52Speaker 21: Program then you know him now a little. More how
- 1:01:55Speaker 21: much maybe could he become a factor because of.
- 1:01:57Speaker 19: Just Familiar, yeah Like john, says the second year.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: Guy BUT i mean to, me.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: What a great.
- 1:02:05Speaker 19: Opportunity as you, KNOW i think the great part about
- 1:02:08Speaker 19: our team right now is we you can go position
- 1:02:10Speaker 19: by a position AND i can you can rattle off
- 1:02:13Speaker 19: the great competitions that we're going to have really throughout the.
- 1:02:17Speaker 19: Process it's not always that, case you. Know SO i
- 1:02:20Speaker 19: think that speaks to, like really the depth of our
- 1:02:23Speaker 19: team right, now which is which is really. Exciting And
- 1:02:25Speaker 19: chacardi is right.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: There doing like where's he at in?
- 1:02:28Speaker 19: Recover he's coming. Along it's tough to put a timetable on,
- 1:02:32Speaker 19: it but he's trying his tail, off AND i THINK
- 1:02:35Speaker 19: i think it's one of those deals where, like, hey
- 1:02:36Speaker 19: let's just keep hitting those benchmarks until we can you
- 1:02:40Speaker 19: evaluate where what's going to look like in the. Fall
- 1:02:43Speaker 19: he's not here right.
- 1:02:45Speaker 18: Now, no like you just, mentioned with the competitions across the,
- 1:02:49Speaker 18: Roster john has mentioned from a lesson learn for the
- 1:02:52Speaker 18: Last Super bowl, team wanting to make sure you're drafting
- 1:02:54Speaker 18: guys that are not going to back down from competing
- 1:02:57Speaker 18: against A Super bowl, team all the stars that you've,
- 1:03:01Speaker 18: Got how do you assess that with the limited time
- 1:03:03Speaker 18: that you have with these prospects though leading up to the,
- 1:03:06Speaker 18: draft trying to make sure that you're you're finding the
- 1:03:08Speaker 18: guys that check off that.
- 1:03:09Speaker 19: Box, well you're working with a personnel department that's been
- 1:03:13Speaker 19: together for a long time and they got a really
- 1:03:15Speaker 19: clear understanding about what makes A seahawk A.
- 1:03:18Speaker 7: Seahawks so this.
- 1:03:19Speaker 19: Isn't their first, rodeo you, Know and that's constantly being
- 1:03:22Speaker 19: like discussed from the meetings That i'm, in and Like john,
- 1:03:26Speaker 19: said there's clarity, there there's, alignment and, uh you, know
- 1:03:30Speaker 19: whether we wanted The Super bowl or, not it would
- 1:03:33Speaker 19: have been the same criteria the type of person that
- 1:03:34Speaker 19: we're looking.
- 1:03:35Speaker 7: For to join our.
- 1:03:35Speaker 19: Team so it's pretty pretty, consistent, Honestly.
- 1:03:38Speaker 16: LIKE i mentioned off season or guys being back in
- 1:03:40Speaker 16: the billion starting the officing program, today how's it kind
- 1:03:43Speaker 16: of getting that process rolling again.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Already, yeah it's.
- 1:03:46Speaker 7: Great it's.
- 1:03:46Speaker 19: Great, uh today's day one for us in uh in phase.
- 1:03:49Speaker 19: One and we talked about this. Earlier we you, know
- 1:03:53Speaker 19: we tiered our our off season program from having like
- 1:03:57Speaker 19: a later finish this. Season BUT i was just LIKE
- 1:03:59Speaker 19: i was blown away by the, guys some of the
- 1:04:01Speaker 19: guys that showed up today and that you, know we
- 1:04:03Speaker 19: weren't asking to be, here you know at this point in,
- 1:04:05Speaker 19: time and, uh just the energy is really. Great you,
- 1:04:08Speaker 19: know there's still a great like sense of urgency and
- 1:04:10Speaker 19: spirit to the, guys which which is. Exciting but it's
- 1:04:14Speaker 19: mostly just strength conditioning at this point and some individual.
- 1:04:17Speaker 19: Meetings but, yeah this is like, that this is one
- 1:04:21Speaker 19: of the best times of. Year see the guys again
- 1:04:22Speaker 19: after after the. BREAK i won't say, surprise this is
- 1:04:29Speaker 19: like you, say, hey, look if you if you finished
- 1:04:31Speaker 19: playing the whole, season you, know phase, one you, know
- 1:04:36Speaker 19: we'd love for you to be here, obviously but to
- 1:04:39Speaker 19: get more time out of the, building so you can
- 1:04:41Speaker 19: come back as fresh as. Possible so guys Like, Spoon Jay,
- 1:04:44Speaker 19: reid we're. Here guys that didn't you, know just want
- 1:04:49Speaker 19: to be around the guys, again you, know SO i
- 1:04:50Speaker 19: thought that was really cool their.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: Call, Sorry, John what.
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: Do you think about the continuity that your scouts have?
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: Together how does that impact the mayhem that.
- 1:04:59Speaker 10: Takes place with free agency after the draft is completed
- 1:05:03Speaker 10: That saturday Night sunday.
- 1:05:05Speaker 7: Start oh, yeah great.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: Question, uh.
- 1:05:11Speaker 15: It never goes as smoothly as you wanted to, go
- 1:05:14Speaker 15: because it's, just you, know guys are, Like.
- 1:05:18Speaker 7: I've never been on the floor Stock ACTUALLY i have
- 1:05:21Speaker 7: A we did.
- 1:05:22Speaker 15: Do that one, time but it's it's like crazy like, that,
- 1:05:25Speaker 15: Right it's just that there's guys are, signing they commit to,
- 1:05:28Speaker 15: you and then they go to a different club and
- 1:05:30Speaker 15: they're they're you, know everyths negotiating different signing. Bonuses but,
- 1:05:35Speaker 15: uh you Know Matt, berry you, know and And Joey,
- 1:05:38Speaker 15: lane those guys do a really good job of just you,
- 1:05:42Speaker 15: know organizing it to, say, hey like everyone knows exactly
- 1:05:45Speaker 15: what the role is with a specific coach and who's
- 1:05:49Speaker 15: who's negotiating who's recruiting with that coach and uh, yeah
- 1:05:55Speaker 15: and then you, know just WHEN i was talking about
- 1:05:57Speaker 15: the process of, IT i was talking about basically the
- 1:05:59Speaker 15: stuff do you have it this?
- 1:06:00Speaker 7: Year like we like to focus of, it like what can.
- 1:06:02Speaker 15: We really bite, into like what the redeeming qualities here
- 1:06:05Speaker 15: with this player and and working with the coaches to have, that,
- 1:06:09Speaker 15: uh that vision for that.
- 1:06:11Speaker 17: Player, John you've been open about how you've changed or you,
- 1:06:15Speaker 17: know continually revisited your draft process.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Over the, years and maybe you push an eat up.
- 1:06:18Speaker 17: EARLIER i think was an example you gave when you
- 1:06:21Speaker 17: look at free agency and trades as the process there as.
- 1:06:24Speaker 17: Well which are those three processes do you feel like
- 1:06:26Speaker 17: change the most since, you, uh you know BECAME.
- 1:06:29Speaker 15: Gm all the trades on on draft weekend you have
- 1:06:34Speaker 15: to make sure we have to call her team and
- 1:06:37Speaker 15: make sure you're on the same page to figure Out
- 1:06:39Speaker 15: we all just used to use The jimmy joneson. Sheet
- 1:06:43Speaker 15: it was actually much easier to to, uh to work
- 1:06:45Speaker 15: off of and negotiate with other.
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: Teams now we you, know has.
- 1:06:49Speaker 15: Different we've had a lot more analytics groups to, it
- 1:06:55Speaker 15: and so it's you, know it's it's built off of like,
- 1:06:58Speaker 15: analytics salary cap up previous you, know history with trades and,
- 1:07:03Speaker 15: uh because at the end of the.
- 1:07:06Speaker 7: Day if you want the, player you, know get the,
- 1:07:07Speaker 7: player you.
- 1:07:08Speaker 15: Know but we also we we we all used to
- 1:07:10Speaker 15: be a little bit more disciplined in terms of sticking
- 1:07:13Speaker 15: with the same points system because you can get in
- 1:07:16Speaker 15: situations now where you're like why you, know you don't
- 1:07:20Speaker 15: want to.
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: Come off as, rude but you're, like we why WOULD
- 1:07:22Speaker 7: i do? That we're we're getting our butt. Kicked like WHEN.
- 1:07:26Speaker 15: I guess unless there was a you, know six foot,
- 1:07:29Speaker 15: five three hundred and thirty pound defensive tackle run four to,
- 1:07:34Speaker 15: three then.
- 1:07:35Speaker 7: Maybe you would get your butt kicked and just go
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: get them where you're.
- 1:07:39Speaker 20: PICKING i guess as there aren't as many fans that
- 1:07:41Speaker 20: are as into this draft as maybe if they were.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: Twenty three and the guys that you, know the bot
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: that's winning and yet all those, Picks but how important
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: is it to really nailed these, picks you, know into
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: in the draft like this to keep the success?
- 1:07:55Speaker 15: Going and, yeah it's a great. QUESTION i, think you,
- 1:08:00Speaker 15: KNOW i think either at the combine or maybe the
- 1:08:04Speaker 15: owner's meaning just talking ABOUT i think there's a lack
- 1:08:06Speaker 15: of depth in this draft AND i think.
- 1:08:08Speaker 7: OUR i thought our scouts did a great.
- 1:08:10Speaker 15: Job in the fall of identifying that and letting that
- 1:08:14Speaker 15: allowed us to be a little bit more willing to
- 1:08:16Speaker 15: give up the fourth and fifth round draft.
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: Pick but no matter what draft you're, in what, year.
- 1:08:21Speaker 15: It's it's it's our responsibility of the organization to be
- 1:08:23Speaker 15: able to find True seahawks all the way through. It
- 1:08:27Speaker 15: and so that means if we did have that fourth
- 1:08:30Speaker 15: and the, fifth that we're moving around and we acquire
- 1:08:32Speaker 15: more draft, picks, like we're still gonna be focused on
- 1:08:36Speaker 15: making those guys True. Seahawks and you, know when when
- 1:08:40Speaker 15: when you say nailing it, it it no matter if
- 1:08:43Speaker 15: you have you, know the three and was that twenty?
- 1:08:47Speaker 7: One is that was that we had three, picks you,
- 1:08:50Speaker 7: know or you know last year having a bunch of draft,
- 1:08:54Speaker 7: Picks it doesn't.
- 1:08:55Speaker 15: Matter you still feel that same level of pressure to
- 1:08:58Speaker 15: be able to bring the best people you can in
- 1:09:02Speaker 15: for the you, know for the organization and for the coaching.
- 1:09:04Speaker 7: Staff john of.
- 1:09:05Speaker 20: The like perceived abnormalities in this.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: Draft you were just talking about the lack of.
- 1:09:10Speaker 20: Depth there's you, know some positions that seems like in
- 1:09:13Speaker 20: years they're easier to find but thank you for saying this.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Year what do you make of?
- 1:09:16Speaker 20: That do you think that's still like the maybe the
- 1:09:19Speaker 20: final effect of.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: THE covid year or is it? Nil what do you
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: what do you making of?
- 1:09:22Speaker 15: It, yeah there's a couple there's a couple of guys
- 1:09:24Speaker 15: in here WHO'S i think this is supposed to be
- 1:09:26Speaker 15: the last year of. It but there's still a couple
- 1:09:28Speaker 15: of guys in here that are we finished in their
- 1:09:30Speaker 15: first contract at twenty nine years, old you know, So but,
- 1:09:34Speaker 15: yeah it's my understanding this is going to be the
- 1:09:36Speaker 15: last it should be like the last year of it
- 1:09:38Speaker 15: are trickling down pretty quick as some guys that you
- 1:09:42Speaker 15: know have been in school for six, years you, know
- 1:09:45Speaker 15: so they're called.
- 1:09:47Speaker 7: Doctors.
- 1:09:50Speaker 8: John when you say your ward is for, uh your,
- 1:09:53Speaker 8: guys not The National Football league in terms of yours
- 1:09:56Speaker 8: are used to saying like it's suggested for your needs
- 1:09:58Speaker 8: or a.
- 1:10:00Speaker 15: Combination, yeah it's adjusted for you, know comparing somebody to you,
- 1:10:04Speaker 15: know comparing a corner to spoon Or Josh, job you know,
- 1:10:10Speaker 15: what look at, that how do they how do they
- 1:10:13Speaker 15: how they can compete with those?
- 1:10:14Speaker 7: Guys what's the?
- 1:10:15Speaker 15: Fit and then obviously you know need need if if
- 1:10:20Speaker 15: you're doing it, correctly need just should pop in there.
- 1:10:23Speaker 11: Naturally so more so roster make the need.
- 1:10:28Speaker 13: Jo when you look back to the drafts coming out
- 1:10:30Speaker 13: of the Last Super bowl thirteen and what kind of left,
- 1:10:32Speaker 13: through what did you learn about trying to maintain the
- 1:10:36Speaker 13: drafts you made than the things you went through at the,
- 1:10:39Speaker 13: Time and how do you try to adjust that now
- 1:10:42Speaker 13: to try to do with this time, around to stay
- 1:10:45Speaker 13: stay where you're.
- 1:10:46Speaker 15: At, yeah we'll getting to the point earlier here about you,
- 1:10:50Speaker 15: know finding those players that are gonna come in you
- 1:10:53Speaker 15: want to come in and compete at a high, level
- 1:10:55Speaker 15: not being amored by the guys that just saw playing
- 1:10:58Speaker 15: in the in The Super bow or or whether they you,
- 1:11:02Speaker 15: know played It I'm madden like four years.
- 1:11:04Speaker 7: Older earlier or something like. That but also not necessarily
- 1:11:09Speaker 7: just like, uh.
- 1:11:12Speaker 15: Just kind of like throwing darts a little, bit, like,
- 1:11:14Speaker 15: hey like we might as well take a shot at
- 1:11:16Speaker 15: a guy that you know looks Like Richard sherman or
- 1:11:19Speaker 15: runs Like Earl, thomas you, know or we think could
- 1:11:23Speaker 15: be the next Cam chancellor or something like. That you,
- 1:11:25Speaker 15: know so be really really careful about. Comparisons that never
- 1:11:31Speaker 15: goes real, WELL i understand the entertainment of, it AND
- 1:11:34Speaker 15: i find myself doing it once in a while, too, like,
- 1:11:36Speaker 15: oh this guy reminds me of this player you know
- 1:11:38Speaker 15: from the, past Or i'm starting to get to the point,
- 1:11:42Speaker 15: now or these guys are looking at me like, like who's?
- 1:11:45Speaker 7: That you? Know leslie AND i are the only ones
- 1:11:48Speaker 7: that know who these. Guys and With Todd brunner, too
- 1:11:54Speaker 7: It's todd played with a leather. Helmet and.
- 1:11:59Speaker 21: When a few are digging into tangibles and trying to
- 1:12:02Speaker 21: add to the culture, here what value in place on
- 1:12:04Speaker 21: a few relatively few collegiates who stay.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: At one the entire college.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: Career is that a gold star on your?
- 1:12:11Speaker 7: Board, yeah it's it's come up as from a loyalty.
- 1:12:13Speaker 15: Standpoint, absolutely there's several guys that have turned down a
- 1:12:16Speaker 15: lot of.
- 1:12:17Speaker 7: Money yeah to.
- 1:12:18Speaker 19: Believe, yeah it's hard to put it like in a
- 1:12:22Speaker 19: hard steadfast case because there's different reasons for guys transferring
- 1:12:26Speaker 19: or you, know you don't want to just discount for.
- 1:12:27Speaker 19: That but it's definitely something That i'm kind of it
- 1:12:32Speaker 19: opens right.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: NOW i.
- 1:12:32Speaker 19: Did, now it's that's the abnormality rather than you, know the, Rule, john.
- 1:12:37Speaker 17: You talk about, how you, know draft, day you want
- 1:12:41Speaker 17: things calm figured, out harmonious in the draft. Room what
- 1:12:45Speaker 17: parts earlier in the draft process are, there you, know
- 1:12:49Speaker 17: disarmony or like real active debates about what to. Do
- 1:12:52Speaker 17: at what point does that come? Up and what are
- 1:12:55Speaker 17: those usually? About is it about a? Player is it about?
- 1:12:57Speaker 17: Position like how do those?
- 1:12:59Speaker 7: Work you mean like the knockdown drag outs or like, yeah.
- 1:13:03Speaker 17: Yeah when there's non agreement you have before you've reached
- 1:13:05Speaker 17: that point of consensus and. Alignment what are the points
- 1:13:09Speaker 17: in the process.
- 1:13:09Speaker 15: Where, yeah we'll have like a we'll have like a,
- 1:13:11Speaker 15: reset like you, know if we if we're seeing it
- 1:13:13Speaker 15: differently than a specific scout or.
- 1:13:20Speaker 7: You, know a, coach you, know a.
- 1:13:21Speaker 15: Position, coach we'll kind of have a reset like, hey
- 1:13:23Speaker 15: let's just take a deep, breath sit down and start from,
- 1:13:26Speaker 15: scratch kind of represent the player to the coach or
- 1:13:31Speaker 15: the scout or, whatever and and just start. That just
- 1:13:34Speaker 15: have those direct lines of communication where it's not, like you,
- 1:13:39Speaker 15: know it's got you, know he's just this this scout
- 1:13:41Speaker 15: doesn't know what he's, doing or that coach canaval you,
- 1:13:43Speaker 15: know we, don't we. Don't we don't have a lot of.
- 1:13:45Speaker 15: THAT i think we don't have a lot of that
- 1:13:47Speaker 15: because we have.
- 1:13:50Speaker 7: You, know we're meeting on the. Weekends we're kind of
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: going through it a. Lot there's like there's a lot
- 1:13:54Speaker 7: of these.
- 1:13:54Speaker 15: Like perceived arguments are set up with you, know the
- 1:14:01Speaker 15: last WHAT i don't know what three, months you, know
- 1:14:04Speaker 15: just constantly talking about, things and then you, know we'll
- 1:14:09Speaker 15: have like a every year you're gonna have like you,
- 1:14:11Speaker 15: know some guys at certain positions that you, know we're
- 1:14:14Speaker 15: just off on a little, bit and we just continue
- 1:14:17Speaker 15: to communication until we narrow that.
- 1:14:19Speaker 7: Gap back to the.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Trade, conversation maybe this isn't a thing and all.
- 1:14:23Speaker 20: That did you get the sense a decade ago after
- 1:14:25Speaker 20: you guys won The Super bowl or have you sensed
- 1:14:27Speaker 20: it with other teams coming Off Super bowl wins that
- 1:14:30Speaker 20: other teams may not want to like trade with that
- 1:14:34Speaker 20: team out of a sense of, like, well why would
- 1:14:36Speaker 20: we help the.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Defending champions get any?
- 1:14:38Speaker 15: Better, No, no everybody's everybody has their own, plan AND
- 1:14:42Speaker 15: i don't think you, know teams are concerned about whether
- 1:14:44Speaker 15: they're gonna help another team or not help a, team
- 1:14:47Speaker 15: or you, know we've talked within our division if that
- 1:14:51Speaker 15: was kind of.
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: Frowned upon for a, while like you don't trade with your.
- 1:14:53Speaker 15: Division everybody in our division we would trade, with and you,
- 1:14:56Speaker 15: know we have good relationships with with all three of those.
- 1:14:59Speaker 15: Teams and you're, not you, know you're you're you're maneuvering.
- 1:15:04Speaker 15: Around you're maneuvering around the board to try to help
- 1:15:06Speaker 15: your team no matter. What and so when you look
- 1:15:09Speaker 15: at it through that, lens then you're you, know you're
- 1:15:11Speaker 15: you're basically just like not concerned about what does happen
- 1:15:15Speaker 15: after is like you, know when you get through the,
- 1:15:17Speaker 15: draft you can't sit down and look, at you, know
- 1:15:20Speaker 15: specific teams and be, like, oh you gotta kid, me
- 1:15:22Speaker 15: they got that, guy that, guy that, guy that, guy

- 1:18:20Speaker 1: of we'll grab this sound bite and play it tomorrow
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: and kind of jump into a little bit deeper as.
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: Well BUT i thought it was really interesting to Hear
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: John schneider be very open and uh and. Vocal, yeah
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: when he said, no it's no secret with, us we
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: have four. Picks we're looking to move, back you, know like,
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: it and it's, listen we all assume that we all
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: think that that's going to. Happen but for him just
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: to come out and say. It, NOW i was just
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: talking To Greg bells as our new ten to twelve,
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: Guy Greg. Bell i'm not heard of, Him greg Two,
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: bells Two, g's the Two bells to. Gs but, Yeah
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: greg Was greg and are talking, like, yeah making sure
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: everyone knows that The seahawks are open for, business not
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: that that hasn't been the case in the, past like
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: a lot in the, past but he made no bones
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: about and just for if you look back to what
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: they did before twenty, fourteen they traded they had the
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: thirty two pick overall twenty, fourteen they traded the twenty
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: fourteen first round, pick number thirty two To minnesota for
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: a twenty fourteen second round pick and a twenty fourteen
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: fourth round, pick and then they flipped that second round
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: pick and got a fifth round. Pick they did all
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: kinds of. Stuff Paul richardson ended up being part of,
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: That Cassius marsh ended up being part of that, Trade Kiro,
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: small and, actually when you look at, it they didn't
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: do when they flipped thirty two before the. Players they
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: ended up With Cassius, Marsh Paul, richardson And Kiro small
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: who was a, fullback so that that didn't met them
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: much in the grand scheme of. Things well here's the, Thing,
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: well here's why they traded thirty. Two this is the.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: Key this is this is this is the where history
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: teaches to. Something they traded that thirty two pick For
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: teddy two gloves For teddy. Bit They minnesota took Took Teddy,
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: bridgewater quarterback who if not for that just horrific knee,
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: injury probably you, KNOW i, mean you want that fifth
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: year for especially for a. Quarterback you want that fifth year.
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: Option that's why He john talked about that. Today that's
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: why that pick is important because with a first round
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: pick comes not just a four year, contract but the
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: option for only the first rounders to have that fifth
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: round option by the, team which if you have a
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: really good, player then you keep your guy locked up
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: for an extra. Year you can buy an extra year
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: or two like they have With. Witherspoon now like to
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: buy an extra year to negotiate a longer term deal
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: if you want to keep the player and so. Forth you,
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: Know marsh was a solid player for, them like he was,
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: okay but, yeah you get And Paul richardson was beset
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: by injuries when when he was. PICKED i remember that
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: draft night when he was picked On may ninth that.
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: Year we're, like damn, Man Paul, richardson that's a great,
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: Get like that was a great. Pick, yeah and he
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: just never was. Healthy when he was, healthy he was,
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: fine but he just never he was never. Healthy Kiro
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: small didn't make the. Team he was a, fullback so
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: that didn't really. Matter but but, yeah the other, Guys
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: marsh was, Okay richardson was, okay but didn't produce what
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: you hoped. For so, yeah they didn't get exactly what
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: they wanted out of. THAT i think they flipped some other. Picks,
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: yeah they actually you know, What i'm gonna make Sure
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: i'm gonna double check this BECAUSE i think there was
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: more to that then they ended up. With, yeah, well you,
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: know it doesn't get any better because they flipped a
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: couple of those other. Picks they got into another fourth
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: round pick that Was Kevin, norwood not good sixth round
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: pick Tackle Garrett scott who had a hard issue never
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: ended up playing. Here so uh, yeah they AS i
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: keep going down, Here, yeah nothing really came out of that.
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: Stuff so that's, fine but let's hopefully they do a
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: little better job this. Year no one's batting a, thousand
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: just as is this IS i know this is a pro.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Tip everyone knows, this. Right no one's batting a thousand
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: in a draft of any sort OF, NBA, Nhl Major League,
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: baseball or even THE, Nfl and THE nfl is probably
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: the probably the easiest of the, drafts only in the
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: sense that the players have a lot more resume that
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: you can look. At it's because a minimum of three
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: years playing in college against high level oftentimes. Opponents you've
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: got a lot more information at your disposal than if
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: you're a baseball team and you're picking a seventeen year
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: old high school player out of the, draft where you're
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: picking a guy hitting off aluminum bats in. College and you,
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: KNOW i Thought chris had a great point Like Brian
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: wu was a reliever at Cal poly right that that
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: didn't have great. Numbers so you're you're, guessing you, know
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: and you're really having to trust your. Analytics you're trying
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: to have to trust you your, scouts THE, nfl you.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: Know but as much as information as THE nfl, has
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: we just went through. It it's it's not a perfect.
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: Science But i'm. Guessing it feels like we're going to
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: have a pretty Quiet thursday when we have our draft
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: show out. Here oh, yeah nothing's. Happening and then and
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: then On, friday once they moved that thirty second, pick

- 1:26:26Speaker 23: you know potentially you're starting playoffs two or three days.
- 1:26:29Speaker 23: Later it doesn't make a lot of sense.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: To, me Didn't it didn't at. All we were looking at,
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: them just talking about. It even on our television pregame
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: show on our last broadcast Was, wednesday we, said this
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: is the first half of a back to back and,
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: Like i'd imagine if this thing was and for a
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: while it looked like this would have meant something quite a.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: Bit not only back to, back against two teams that
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: we always know were pretty. Good, yeah like you didn't
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: know that was a soft landing that THE nhl landed
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: for the Mighty seattle cracking along the, Way welcome to
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: The West coast.
- 1:26:56Speaker 23: Lane, yeah, no it's it certainly has this, challenges there's
- 1:27:00Speaker 23: no question about.
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: It having been in The east for sure.
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: Early still a lot of stuff to. Do but how
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: would you sum up the?
- 1:27:07Speaker 23: YEAR i, think you, know it's it's tough to get
- 1:27:16Speaker 23: over the disappointment of the last twenty six games since
- 1:27:20Speaker 23: The olympic, break you, know if you have to take
- 1:27:25Speaker 23: a step back and kind of look at the whole
- 1:27:27Speaker 23: thing and you, know realize, that you, know there was
- 1:27:33Speaker 23: a lot of positives to the season. Too there's some
- 1:27:36Speaker 23: things that coming in here we knew we had to, address.
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: You, know and AND i think we.
- 1:27:44Speaker 23: Did but you, know it gets lost a little bit
- 1:27:50Speaker 23: with seven wins in the last twenty six, games and,
- 1:27:52Speaker 23: really you, know you only needed about five or six
- 1:27:56Speaker 23: more to be in the. Playoffs it wasn't like we had,
- 1:27:58Speaker 23: to you, know go twenty and or something like. That
- 1:28:01Speaker 23: so it's it's it's extremely disappointing from that, Standpoint but ALSO.
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: I think.
- 1:28:09Speaker 23: We have to take that experience moving, forward and when
- 1:28:15Speaker 23: we get into that position, again we'll be better better
- 1:28:17Speaker 23: suited to handle.
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: It if you do the answer you you would have fixed,
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: It i'm. Sure but are there any things just bullet
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: points you point to for the for the seven wins
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: after The olympic, break you go in such a speaking
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: of back to, back you couldn't go in in a higher,
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: note back to back wins Against vegas IN la and
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: your division and sitting solidly in a playoff, spot third,
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: place and as you, mentioned seven, wins is there anything
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: that changed from the team, standpoint anything that just that
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: you could even look at and even tried to.
- 1:28:45Speaker 23: Fix, yeah, well you, know when we went into the,
- 1:28:49Speaker 23: break our power play was. Humming our power play came,
- 1:28:52Speaker 23: out and you, know we struggled on the power. Play
- 1:28:56Speaker 23: penalty kill was actually pretty good for a really good
- 1:28:59Speaker 23: stretch of that twenty six, games and then kind of
- 1:29:01Speaker 23: faltered in the. End but that was a you, know
- 1:29:05Speaker 23: that was a sore point for us all year. Long
- 1:29:09Speaker 23: and THEN i just thought THAT i thought that for whatever,
- 1:29:13Speaker 23: reason our defensive, play the commitment to that defensive, PLAY
- 1:29:17Speaker 23: i thought we we struggled a little bit with. IT
- 1:29:21Speaker 23: i thought other teams potentially turned up, there you, know
- 1:29:24Speaker 23: turned up the ante and you, know we just we
- 1:29:30Speaker 23: just couldn't we couldn't match. It we made too many little.
- 1:29:33Speaker 23: Mistakes it's a fine line between winning and. Losing and you,
- 1:29:37Speaker 23: know for, example we're In vegas the other night and
- 1:29:41Speaker 23: we're leading one, nothing there's two minutes and twenty one
- 1:29:44Speaker 23: seconds left in the second, period and we give up
- 1:29:46Speaker 23: a faceoff. Goal and these are the kinds of things
- 1:29:49Speaker 23: that can't, happen and they happened a little bit too
- 1:29:54Speaker 23: often down the, stretch and we found ourselves on the
- 1:29:56Speaker 23: wrong side of the.
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: Score you use the.
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: Term a few times this year, fragile and we hear
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: the term culture thrown around a. Lot is that fragile
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: nature part of changing the culture and getting rid of.
- 1:30:07Speaker 23: That, well certainly you have, to you have to become.
- 1:30:11Speaker 23: Unfragile and you, KNOW i think you, know you sit
- 1:30:16Speaker 23: back and you look and if you even if you've
- 1:30:18Speaker 23: won The Stanley, cup things.
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: Change.
- 1:30:21Speaker 23: Uh you, KNOW I i talk to the guys this,
- 1:30:24Speaker 23: morning and you, know those same guys THAT i talked
- 1:30:27Speaker 23: to this, morning and not all of them are going
- 1:30:29Speaker 23: to be here it's just the way you, know professional sports.
- 1:30:32Speaker 23: Is so you, know we got to do our due
- 1:30:35Speaker 23: diligence and continue building and continue building WHAT i think
- 1:30:40Speaker 23: are some positive cultural changes that we've made and and you,
- 1:30:45Speaker 23: know and move forward from.
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: There that comes from the, coach but also comes from
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: inside the, room, right it comes from the leadership group
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: and inside the. Room do you need more from that,
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: group particularly even if they have a whether they have
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: a letter on or, Not, well you.
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: Don't have to be a letter to a. Leader, uh you.
- 1:31:01Speaker 23: Know that Was that's sort of one of my, things you,

- 1:31:45Speaker 23: to be important for our, growth and you know that
- 1:31:50Speaker 23: experience of having that and doing that should bode well
- 1:31:53Speaker 23: for the.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: Future Alaine lambert joining, me the viral comments from counterparts
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: in the, League Rick bonus and Even tom, McClellan rick
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: really calling out his team and, saying you, know, winning
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: you know hurt. It losing has to hurt more than.
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: Winning and we're going to change the culture and do
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: all those things and all of. THAT i always wonder to,
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: myself like we've seen it in this. Town we have
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: A Super bowl champion here and you know When Pete
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: carroll came, in they went seven to ten the first
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: two years With Pete. Carroll it didn't change. Overnight needed
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: to get some different guys in, here some alpha, dogs
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: some dudes that were, loud, right they needed to. Change
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: you can only do so much in that. Regard but
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: they and people forget it's seven and ten two years
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: in a. Row then they took off and they changed
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: that culture and they got it. Going does it take
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: more than a year to change the culture and more
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: than just one or two guys in the. Room does
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: it need to change something like you, mentioned guys aren't
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: all gonna be back you have different looking.
- 1:32:49Speaker 23: Wrong, Yeah, NO i think it's, uh you know you for,
- 1:32:53Speaker 23: me you, KNOW i do believe we've had some growth
- 1:32:58Speaker 23: and trying to change culture this.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: Year.
- 1:33:00Speaker 23: Yep, uh but, yeah it's it's a it's a, process
- 1:33:04Speaker 23: there's no question about.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: It and.
- 1:33:08Speaker 23: You, know we obviously have a busy summer. Here we'll
- 1:33:12Speaker 23: sit down and talk about you, know personnel and and
- 1:33:16Speaker 23: what we, see what we think our needs. Are you,
- 1:33:21Speaker 23: know this is my first year in, here my first
- 1:33:24Speaker 23: year with a lot of these, guys you, know AND
- 1:33:27Speaker 23: i learned a lot and, uh you, know we'll see
- 1:33:31Speaker 23: where we're where we're, at you, know as the summer
- 1:33:34Speaker 23: plays itself. Out but there's certainly some uh some thought
- 1:33:37Speaker 23: thoughts going.
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: On OH i bet there are audits and all kinds
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: of fun. Stuff what kind of step can a guy
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: Like berkeley cat and make or any of your young
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: guys like that's because if we're being, honest it's like
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: you can change teams through, trades through free, agency all
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: those types of. Things this team's trying to really build
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: things up through the. DRAFT i think you at. ONE
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: i think over the course of the, year roughly at
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: fifteen draft picks were playing something like. That it was
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: a pretty heavy. Number all the four draft, classes not
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: including last, year all represented on the ice at some
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: point this, year so there were plenty of draft. Picks
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: whether It's, Berkeley, Oscar, Fisker mulgard if he's, here guys like,
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: that what kind of step do you expect as a
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: coach for those guys to take from a year one
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: to a year? Two Ryan, winterton first time full TIME
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: nhl player types guys, like what kind of step can
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: those guys?
- 1:34:24Speaker 23: Take they can take a big, step you, know speaking of, well,
- 1:34:29Speaker 23: well the last guy you mentioned Was. Winterton, yeah you,
- 1:34:32Speaker 23: Know Ryan winterton tremendous, Speed he's on pucks all the,
- 1:34:36Speaker 23: time solid, defensively and he gets lots of scoring. Chances
- 1:34:44Speaker 23: the step that he needs to take beuse he needs
- 1:34:46Speaker 23: to capitalize on more of. Them you, KNOW i don't
- 1:34:49Speaker 23: see any reason Why Ryan winterton can't score fifteen to twenty,
- 1:34:52Speaker 23: goals to be honest with, you with the with the
- 1:34:56Speaker 23: attributes that he, has and that's a, mentality you, know
- 1:35:01Speaker 23: don't just shoot the puck to shoot the, puck shoot the.
- 1:35:03Speaker 23: Puck Score these are different types of situations that as
- 1:35:07Speaker 23: you get into and as you grow with. Experience now
- 1:35:10Speaker 23: you're not just sort of trying to hang on and
- 1:35:12Speaker 23: keep your position and not be healthy. Scratch now you're
- 1:35:16Speaker 23: making an impact on the team and you relish, that
- 1:35:19Speaker 23: you take that and now you understand. That you, know
- 1:35:21Speaker 23: your confidence has grown and you're a guy who is counted.
- 1:35:25Speaker 23: On and that's where we need a guy Like Ryan
- 1:35:28Speaker 23: winterton to get To Berkeley caton nineteen year old. Kid
- 1:35:34Speaker 23: just a lot of learning for him this. Year really
- 1:35:40Speaker 23: a really difficult league and to play. In it's the
- 1:35:43Speaker 23: best league in the.
- 1:35:44Speaker 4: World and.
- 1:35:46Speaker 23: You, know he he learned a lot this. Year and you,
- 1:35:49Speaker 23: Know i've said it before And i'll say it. Again
- 1:35:53Speaker 23: september comes, AROUND i expect him to take a big
- 1:35:55Speaker 23: step here and be, better better than he, was you,
- 1:36:02Speaker 23: know and learned from some of the, mistakes some of
- 1:36:05Speaker 23: the hooking penalties he took and things like. That, uh you,
- 1:36:08Speaker 23: know these are things that are going to be super
- 1:36:11Speaker 23: beneficial for him moving. Forward and when you look at
- 1:36:16Speaker 23: where he is right now and where he will be In,
- 1:36:19Speaker 23: september he was much better off in my, opinion staying
- 1:36:23Speaker 23: here all year, long playing and he's going to be
- 1:36:27Speaker 23: a better player for us In september than he would
- 1:36:29Speaker 23: have been going back to. Junior so there was growing
- 1:36:32Speaker 23: paints for. Sure he kept his confidence through those growing,
- 1:36:35Speaker 23: paints and you, know he's a big part of the.
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: Future.
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: OBVIOUSLY i always thought with him and even maybe some
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: of the young, guys whether it wins or any unselfish
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: team like at, times did you not want to, see
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: especially a guy like cat and shoot the block?
- 1:36:49Speaker 23: More, yeah you, know these are these are these are
- 1:36:54Speaker 23: things that you, know we we we analyze and we
- 1:36:58Speaker 23: have to get into and we you, know we talked
- 1:37:01Speaker 23: about more shot volume and things like.
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: That we've got to start delivering on some of the
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: some of the.
- 1:37:05Speaker 23: Messages certainly there's some of the messages we. Do, yeah
- 1:37:09Speaker 23: and we did make some improvements and there were some
- 1:37:12Speaker 23: positives for. Sure you, know we weren't twenty five points
- 1:37:17Speaker 23: out of the playoffs In january as in the, past
- 1:37:20Speaker 23: so you, know there's certainly there's certainly improvements here and
- 1:37:24Speaker 23: there's certainly.
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: Optimism the wild thing was if we're going to just
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: glass half full before they go, LANE i, mean you
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: weren't twenty five points out to start the new, year
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: but After december you were a ways, out and this
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: team found a way to get right back in, it
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: climb up, there find themselves in a playoff spot heading
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: into The olympic, break and outside Of, coppocock who just
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: walked by as a second, ago like The olympic break
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: seemed to be the worst thing that could have happened
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: to this team in a lot of. Ways he came
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: back and was. Unreal but, like this team did find a.
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: Way so we talked about being less fragile or picking themselves.
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: Up they did show signs of that this, year, right
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: they did show signs of.
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: That, yeah, no there's no.
- 1:37:59Speaker 23: QUESTION i, mean you know the stretch we had In
- 1:38:02Speaker 23: december and you know we were what twelve and, twelve
- 1:38:07Speaker 23: fourteen and two or whatever we were at that, Time we're,
- 1:38:09Speaker 23: twelve fourteen and, five and then we had a heck
- 1:38:13Speaker 23: of a run for right up until The olympic, break
- 1:38:15Speaker 23: and you, know coming out of The olympic, break you,
- 1:38:20Speaker 23: know the sort of the thought PROCESS i guess, Was,
- 1:38:23Speaker 23: okay we don't have any you, know like the teams
- 1:38:27Speaker 23: that don't have as many guys going to The olympics
- 1:38:28Speaker 23: as other, teams they're going to have a benefit from.
- 1:38:31Speaker 8: That BUT.
- 1:38:32Speaker 23: I don't think it turned out that. Way we're not
- 1:38:35Speaker 23: the only team that it didn't turn out that way.
- 1:38:37Speaker 23: For and you, know those guys kept, playing they kept in.
- 1:38:40Speaker 23: Rhythm that was my biggest fear going into The olympic
- 1:38:43Speaker 23: break is that you, know we would get out of.
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: Rhythm and you, KNOW i thought we had an.
- 1:38:49Speaker 23: Excellent five day practice coming out of the break and
- 1:38:53Speaker 23: certainly super optimistic going into the last twenty six games
- 1:38:57Speaker 23: of the season based on. That but things didn't go
- 1:39:00Speaker 23: the way we wanted them. To so, certainly you, know
- 1:39:05Speaker 23: throughout that twenty six game stretch there was a lot
- 1:39:07Speaker 23: of you, know analyzing and how can we get better
- 1:39:12Speaker 23: and what's you, know what's going what's going? Wrong and you,
- 1:39:16Speaker 23: know we'll never quit doing that as a coaching staff.
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: Off season for, you you're the. Coach you don't have
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: to play a personnel. Director you're not on the, scout
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: you're not THE. Gm But i'm sure there's would you
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: expect to have a little MORE i don't want to say,
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: input but now that you've been here for a, year
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: acclimate yourself to the present, roster what you need and
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: stuff like, That and you're in talking To jason Bott
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: roll and going through things near the top of the,
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: list at the top of the, list just listening to
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: you in post, game especially this, year does this team
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: need to get a little, bigger, heavier, tougher for lack
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: of a better, term all those. THINGS i, mean you
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: Got mellie not a, heavyweight but you, know like it
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: just feels like, that If i'm being, honest it feels
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: like that's something missing from this. Team, honestly it's probably
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: been missing since day, one like just a little bit
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: of a presence that still exists in hockey and again
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: not necessarily dropping the mits all the, time but you
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: got to have, it you, know as a poly sign
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: major back in the, day you wouldn't think that because you,
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: know you look at, me AND i don't Think i'm
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: such a smart.
- 1:40:15Speaker 5: Guy but.
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: A thing called, Deterrence like if you're Playing Columbus Matthew
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: olivier's on the, bench you're probably a little more careful
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: with some of the, stuff, Right do you need a
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: little bit more of?
- 1:40:28Speaker 23: That, well you, Know i'll go back to you know
- 1:40:32Speaker 23: what your FIRST i guess the first part of this
- 1:40:34Speaker 23: question was is the dissertation is, uh you, know DO i, expect,
- 1:40:41Speaker 23: uh you, know having been here for a. YEAR i
- 1:40:44Speaker 23: came in here last. YEAR i DIDN'T i didn't really
- 1:40:46Speaker 23: know any of the players in the. Organization you. Know
- 1:40:48Speaker 23: OBVIOUSLY i knew a little bit about the ones that
- 1:40:49Speaker 23: were playing at The National Hockey league. LEVEL i didn't
- 1:40:51Speaker 23: know anything about the guys In Coachella valley BECAUSE i.
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: Hadn't been you, know you're nothing else conference, Right, no,
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: no and and.
- 1:40:58Speaker 23: And certainly not in The American Hockey. League SO i
- 1:41:00Speaker 23: have A i have a lot better idea of you,
- 1:41:03Speaker 23: know the organization from within and what our you, know
- 1:41:08Speaker 23: what our strengths, are and and WHAT i think our needs.
- 1:41:11Speaker 23: Are you, KNOW i think there's certainly something to be
- 1:41:16Speaker 23: said for.
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: For having some. Deterrent is that if that's what you called,
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: it you know that that part of the.
- 1:41:26Speaker 23: Game for, me it's you, know it's, changed but it
- 1:41:29Speaker 23: will never completely change final.
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: Thing what would you say to the, FANS i, know the,
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: organization the head, coach, Players no one's happy with the
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: fact that you, know this not playing playoff games right,
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: now but it is a process along the. Way what
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: would you tell the.
- 1:41:43Speaker 23: Fans, well, yeah just you, know where as trust, Me
- 1:41:49Speaker 23: we're as disappointed as you. Are, uh we want it

- 1:42:01Speaker 23: and when even WHEN i was interviewing for the job
- 1:42:03Speaker 23: way back. When you, know our fans are are the
- 1:42:06Speaker 23: best in the. League and there's no question that you,
- 1:42:11Speaker 23: Know I've i've, Lived i've lived In New york, life
- 1:42:15Speaker 23: and there's no question that there were times when maybe
- 1:42:21Speaker 23: there would be a lack of, support but that's not
- 1:42:23Speaker 23: the case here In.
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: Seattle and.

- 1:42:29Speaker 23: know that our fans are behind us like, that and

- 1:45:17Speaker 12: you do it based off of, need what your team.
- 1:45:19Speaker 12: Needs they could use him right, now but you also
- 1:45:21Speaker 12: want to do it basically him gevity have the.
- 1:45:24Speaker 3: Player.
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: YEAH i think it'd be different too If donovan was
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: like out for yeah it was a month or yeah or, something,
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: right that'd be a little bit different along the. WAY
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: i GUESS i could see. That all, right four to
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: coma doadge text. Line all, right let's go fourty five
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: three things. One Lane lambert sounds tired and very. Disappointed
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: all hit these as we. Go, yes but we also
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: taped it after he was on three hours of.
- 1:45:50Speaker 14: Sleep, yes but he is.
- 1:45:51Speaker 4: DISAPPOINTED i will say that HE'S.
- 1:45:55Speaker 1: I think he's going to have a Little i'm hoping he.
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: Has in, Fact i'll ask we will have boughts On.
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: WEDNESDAY i think NOW i have to ask him. THAT i,
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: think do you Give Laye labert a little bit more
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: of a? SAY i, KNOW i know What lane. WANTS
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: i think he wants a little bit of a, heavier bigger.
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: Team it's a good, question, though you, know BUT i, think, yeah,
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: Well lane have more of a. Say but he's. DISAPPOINTED
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: i think he. WAS i, mean, listen they won seven
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: games after The olympic. Break they just they just ran
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: out of gas and they, well they made the same
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: mistakes over over. Again, now some of those guys that
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: made those mistakes aren't going to be, here and you
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: know that's just that's the way it. Is let's, see
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: tired of hearing how great ownership and fans?
- 1:46:32Speaker 8: Are?
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: Why why would you be tired of hearing it how
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: great ownership and fans.
- 1:46:36Speaker 12: ARE i can kind of understand that sentiment because usually
- 1:46:39Speaker 12: the people can say that when the team isn't very,
- 1:46:42Speaker 12: good you know WHAT i? Mean so it's Like i'd
- 1:46:44Speaker 12: rather hear how good the team is instead of how
- 1:46:45Speaker 12: good you?
- 1:46:46Speaker 5: Know you, know how?
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: Bad you know? What, okay let's go back to the
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: opening show a segment today at twelve. O'clock, YEAH i
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: know when you hear how great ownership, is you don't
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: hear that from every organization or from every coach OR
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: gm good pointment and you know where you're not hearing
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: that right now is important with The trailblazers Because Tom,
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: condon who bought that, team has already basically alienated the entire.
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: MARKET i Think i'm gonna have some fun this. Week
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: should we Get The godfather?
- 1:47:12Speaker 4: One should we get The?
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: Godfather?
- 1:47:17Speaker 8: No?
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: No The Godfather Dwight.
- 1:47:18Speaker 4: James, yes they killed the.
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: Guy, Apart So i'm all here for. It Anti blazer.
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: Guy, now, yeah you don't work for them. Anymore let's Go.
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: No three. Six i'll still consider myself a hockey novice
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: despite falling the cracking since day. One WHILE i don't
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: know much about the game and why the team has been,
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: SUCCESSFUL i don't Believe Lane lambert was a reason for
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: lack of. SUCCESS i like him a lot of management
- 1:47:40Speaker 1: to figure this out because would be ashamed to lose
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: a good coach because front office can't get out of
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: their own. Way this is a front office that has
- 1:47:49Speaker 1: to Be they just have to be better this offseason.
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: Period you gotta be.
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: Better they gotta. Give they got to Give lane and
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: his staff a little bit more to, work and they
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: have this year change a little bit inside that room
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: and everything else as.
- 1:48:03Speaker 12: Well five and, nine With hancock pitching so well And
- 1:48:06Speaker 12: castillo struggling When miller comes, back do you Put castillo
- 1:48:10Speaker 12: in the bullpen full time and Keep hancock as a.
- 1:48:13Speaker 4: Starter what are your thoughts on? There you're, no that's my.
- 1:48:17Speaker 9: Thought, NO.
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: I, Okay And i'm doing that BECAUSE i don't think
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: it's a dumb.
- 1:48:22Speaker 5: Task, no it's.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: NOT i think it's a legitimate, question it just won't.
- 1:48:26Speaker 12: Happen, No, well AND i think the easiest answer is
- 1:48:28Speaker 12: six men. Rotation, guys we talked about This, withino right
- 1:48:32Speaker 12: and you, know brought that up the other. Day the
- 1:48:34Speaker 12: negative of a six man rotation is that if you
- 1:48:36Speaker 12: have an, ace he pitches less. Often but it feels
- 1:48:39Speaker 12: like The mariners have like multiple guys where you feel
- 1:48:42Speaker 12: okay with, that right and and you Know castile is
- 1:48:45Speaker 12: gonna be, fine, yes and his stuff doesn't play to
- 1:48:48Speaker 12: the bullpen at.
- 1:48:48Speaker 4: All so, like, no you want to get most starters.
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: Don't most of them.
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: Don't like that's your in a role when you get
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: when you get to this, level you're in that role for.
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: Now guys can. Transition Dennis Akri eckersley became one of
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: the greatest relievers in the history of the, game right
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: when eck moved from being a starter to the. Bullpen
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: but most of the time you get to this, point,
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: right you're established as a guy that's going to throw
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: high leverage for an inning or x number of, pitches
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: or you're going to be elongated out to go eighty ninety,
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: hundred whatever it. Is but, YEAH i think the six
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: man rotation makes it if everyone's. Healthy now here's the. Thing,
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: YEAH i don't want to jinx, anything but like rotations
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: don't stay healthy the entire, time absolutely.
- 1:49:28Speaker 3: Not, well, yeah you have to actually plan for that actively,
- 1:49:31Speaker 3: expected which.
- 1:49:31Speaker 4: If you have the thing to have to.
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: Do, yeah it's true, though and but if you have
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: a six man, rotation then it does take one like
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: you know, mention it does take one less guy to your.
- 1:49:42Speaker 12: Well and the funny thing is you mentioned all the.
- 1:49:43Speaker 12: Injuries the one guy who hasn't had any injury, Concerns
- 1:49:47Speaker 12: Luis castills is the.
- 1:49:49Speaker 14: Rock, yeah but he has.
- 1:49:51Speaker 8: Those, games so you, know we've seen like every season
- 1:49:54Speaker 8: he's just don't worry about him because it's.
- 1:49:57Speaker 4: Consistent, yeah it has been great this. Year BUT i
- 1:50:00Speaker 4: trust that he's gonna be.
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: Fine, Yeah jim, says great move Bringing greg b. Backs,
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: yeah well, Listen i'll take full.
- 1:50:07Speaker 3: Credit, then, yes my, job you are The Crimson.

- 1:50:20Speaker 12: hour jessmin very excited to work the extra. Hour ian
- 1:50:23Speaker 12: doesn't sound very excited to work an extra. Hour that's, true.
- 1:50:32Speaker 8: So.
- 1:50:32Speaker 5: TRUE i don't.
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: KNOW i, Listen, hey everyone needs.
- 1:50:36Speaker 8: Cheerleaders, okay he has the backbone and we are the.
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: Hamstrings, okay but but that texture kind of nailed.
- 1:50:44Speaker 3: It very, observant.
- 1:50:50Speaker 15: LIKE i.
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: Could here's the, thing, listen it's a we we we
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: we talk. Sports it's, fine not a big. Deal but
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: if someone said we're gonna pay YOU x to work one,
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: hour two, hours three, hours or four, Hours, well we're
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: gonna pay YOU. X, Yeah i'll take one. HOUR i
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: might EVEN i would actually. HOURS i would take. Zero
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: oh my.
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: Gosh if someone would pay me to go, Away i'd
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: probably all.
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: That, Kay, jess be. Careful that can happen in this.
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: Business well FOR x amount of?
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: Days, Sure, no you, KNOW i would just work on something.
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: Else call your, agent ask him to ask him or
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: her how long that that buyout? Is, SO i see.
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: Now the downside of six man rotation is screwing with
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: all the other stars. Routine these guys are already freaks of.
- 1:51:46Speaker 12: Nature, YEAH i don't, KNOW i don't that gives them
- 1:51:49Speaker 12: extra day, rest, yeah if anything, Else.
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: And you, KNOW wu can be in the dugout doing
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: interviews and While ron and all doing his fun stuff
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: and yet, again, yeah yelling at His, god he JUST
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: i loved.
- 1:52:00Speaker 4: That you're so right.
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: THOUGH i noticed that.
- 1:52:01Speaker 3: Too it's such a good place to take out frustration,
- 1:52:04Speaker 3: Though Ryan.
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: Bryan woo going red ass after he have just an incredible,
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: outing like just was just, dominant Like i'm just mowing guys.
- 1:52:11Speaker 12: DOWN i also understand because he went through six like two,
- 1:52:14Speaker 12: hits no, runs he could like have a special. Day
- 1:52:16Speaker 12: and then the seventh inn he kind of goes a
- 1:52:17Speaker 12: little south and he's like daring.
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: You SO i still think we will have this debate.
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: Again we always have this, debate Like game, one who
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: do you want out? THERE I i still think it
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: might be.
- 1:52:30Speaker 12: HIM i think it Might i'm starting to change my

- 1:52:43Speaker 5: Me, man he just.
- 1:52:46Speaker 4: Can't be, efficient which.
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: Sucks but trying to see WHAT i can read, here
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: lots of stuff on changes, Us john, says calling coward
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: just as any way to The portland owner has plans
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: to buy The Seahawks Tom con is not buying The.
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: Seahawks it's not that. Happen, no that is not gonna happen, now, yeah, no, no, no,

- 1:53:08Speaker 1: ball but with you for a. Second, Okay i'll play.
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: Ball that would be the worst thing that could happen
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: To Seattle sports in terms of ownership Since Clayton ben
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: about The. Sonics that would be the worst because here's
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: the thing with THE. Nfl you have to do things
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: the right. Way you have to pay people good. Money
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: you have to spend. Money he this guy wants to
- 1:53:39Speaker 1: spend one point five million dollars and no more for
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: AN nba head. Coach the average salary is triple that
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: for AN nba head. Coach you want that, Coming oh my,
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: god that came To, seattle The.
- 1:53:51Speaker 4: Seahawks that you can't corners in THE. Nfl you absolutely.
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: Cannot since Since Paul allen bought this team and then
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: with Under jody And bert's you, know overseeing, it since,
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: then this place does it the right. Way they don't cut,
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: costs they don't spare. EXPENSES i, mean they're not crazy
- 1:54:14Speaker 1: like any. Business They i'm sure there's budgets and things
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: people have to work. Within but everything here is first.
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: Class Ye AND i say this all the time with The.
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: Kraken it's the same way out. There and it's not
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: a surprise That liwiki was in, Chargeable like there's certain
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: in pro. Sports you've got to do things the right
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: way and if you cut. Corners AND i know people

- 1:54:51Speaker 1: around for a, While Brenda. Blank but he has A Tom.
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: Connon i'll tell you that right. Now that would be just,
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: god that would be a. DISASTER i don't. KNOW i
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: have not heard that one. TIME i don't. Think first of,
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: one don't hive then the financial wherewithal to buy both
