• 1:58
  Speaker 1: All right, we roll into our nine o'clock hour here, Seahawks,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm calling it champ Camp. I know that Mike doesn't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: want me to do that. Mike doesn't want Mike wants
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: me to look forward. You know, he doesn't want me
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to stir that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yes, exactly.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He might usher me out. It's kind of got a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: ring to it a little bit. But this is all
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: about moving forward.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are on day number one, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: not only are we looking forward, but there is an
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: off season of activities that we've dealt with. And let's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: face it, Hugh, the Seattle Seahawks as world champs have
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not gotten near the attention as what the Los Angeles
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Rams have gotten this offseason. And let's face it, for
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: very good reasons. The Rams were not only one of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the best teams in the National Football League this past year,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and the Seahawks, i'd believe better but very narrowly better
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: than the Los Angeles Rams.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And what did that aggressive.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Organization do this offseason. They're the best defensive player on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the planet, maybe the best cornerback or at least one
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of the best cornerbacks in the National Football League, a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: couple of other pieces that they've added. Meanwhile, the Seahawks
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: sort of banking on we're just going to get better
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: than what that we were a year ago. Those are
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in a nutshell the off seasons of these two teams
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and so Vegas and all the pundits Rams, Rams Rams. Meanwhile,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks sitting here as defending champs. I'm going to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: try to keep on top of the hill despite all
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of those Rams editions this offseason. What do you make
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned Vegas and if you go fan duel
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and you go DraftKings. The two that I checked. The
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Rams are plus five point fifty to win the Super Bowl.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: The next coast team is Buffalo at plus one thousand,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So you figure five and a half to one for
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the Rams ten to one for the Bills. The Seahawks
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: are at eleven plus eleven hundred and plus twelve hundred.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: So their thought, at least in the betting world, that
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the Rams have essentially, you know, double the chance to
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: win it. Right, they're five and a half one, See
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: how about eleven eleven to twelve to one, So they
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: have a different philosophy. They're they're just obviously all in now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: They did the paradox on that is that they spent
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the thirteenth pick on their quarterback in the future. But
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I think that that impacted their willingness to go get
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Miles Garrett because they didn't. They they gave up draft capital,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: They gave up Jared Verse and then a first round
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: draft pick next year in twenty twenty seven, a second
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: round draft pick the following year, and a third round
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: pick the following year after that to get a thirty
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: year old defensive end. Now that thirty year old defensive end,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: if you take all the he has a December thirtieth
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: first birthday or something, so he technically thirty last year.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: But Miles Garrett has the most sacks of anybody in
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: history under the age of thirty one hundred and twenty
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: four and a half. The next closest is Reggie White
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: at one and weight. And there's only two others that
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: are over one hundred, Jared Allen and TJ. Watt, you
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: know those names. So that's the impact player they acquired.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: They also get Trent McDuffie, and you know, they basically
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: overhaul their corner room and get both of the Chiefs
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: starting corners. They give they give a twenty twenty six
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: fifth where let's see, I don't have what they gave up,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: but it was a first rounder and fifth rounder and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: then six and then ay and twenty seven a third rounder.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: So those to me, you know, those are Sam Donald.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: You could make an argument, one could make an argument
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: that those are Sam Donald acquisitions because look at what
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: what the what the Rams did in their losses. First
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: of all, Sam Donald in in the last two games
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: against the Seahawks like eight and thirty one yards, six touchdowns,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: no interceptions. It's the most amount of yards that any
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: quarterback has ever had against a team back to back
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the same team in consecutive games with no interceptions. So
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: so it wasn't It wasn't Matthew Stafford's fault. It wasn't
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the Kenneth Walker. Hell, they only they Kenneth Walker. The
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Sealps only had sixty five yards rush in the NFC
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Championship game at two point nine years, So wasn't Sale's
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: running game. So though you get a corner and you
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: get a pass rusher, Jared Vers arguably is a more
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: versatile player. He certainly plays different spots on the on
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the defensive line. So if they get Aaron Donald, he'd say, well,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: he's he's a run and pass guy, but he's If
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: you ask Sean McVay, he'd say, well, I'm probably more
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: excited about him as a pass rusher. So I think
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: this is in response to what Sam Donald did at
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: three hundred and forty six yards I think, and and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: three touchdowns in that NFC Championship game.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Well, it's definitely a response, and I think that's a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: key word to use in this conversation. I think that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I think that Mike McDonald off should feel awfully flattered,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: because even though the Rams sit there and say, oh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: we were, we were a weird.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Two point conversion away from being fru mole chamblions, that
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: wame argument.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I do believe it was a reaction, I mean to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: how good a machine Mike McDonald has operating here in Seattle.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I've argued that the Seahawks their twenty twenty six is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: based off of in twenty twenty four, they were like,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you know, when we're really gonna be good twenty twenty six.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: They just happened to win a super Bowl along the way,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and so I think what they're thinking. They didn't have
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the big aggressive off season addition, you know, experience that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the Rams did, and it's because we have anticipated for
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: two years that we were going to be much better
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six that we were in twenty twenty five.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And you know who else thinks that's true, Sean.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: McVay less need Yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they felt, in order to stay
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: ahead of this, they're going to that's the team that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: beat us this year and won the Super Bowl, They're
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: going to be even better in twenty twenty six. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I think that speaks to why the Rams are so
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: aggressive this year to go out and her art and McDuffie.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and and again the what phase, what facet of
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the football team are they?
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: If that's true, if that, if that, if the Seahawks
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: are part of their consciousness in those acquisitions, what facet
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: is it? It's the Seahawks passing game.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Because and a lot of people about JSN. But you're saying,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Sam Donald, like those are JSN.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: That's maybe that's as just pass me guilty of seeing
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: it from a quarterback perspective. Let's just agree that it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the passing game.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And so moreover, if you look at the if you
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: look at the guaranteed contracts of the players that Seattle lost,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: you've got Wollen, Kobe Bryant, Kenneth Walker, Boy Mafey, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Derek Young Thritch throw him in there, and then and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: then you say the net gain or loss And now
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: this is not total contract, this is guaranteed money. Because
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I think that's a more accurate way of defining and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and you know, if you're gonna throw it in a spreadsheet,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you gotta have a methodology. That's my methodology. That's what
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I think is the most I'm not cherry picking. I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: saying what makes the most sense where you're trying to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: evaluate what left the building, what went into the building,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: calculate the net and say, and then rank all the teams.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: That was my project.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: And as it turns out, the Raiders are they had
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: the best, the best net inflow in free agency. The
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Packers had the worst net. But there's an asterisk to
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: that because Malik Willis had representing forty five million guaranteed
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: money going to Miami. But he's not the he's not
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the Packers quarterback. Jordan Lovesy Packers quarterback. So if if
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: you're a Packer fan, or if you're if you're saying,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: as has constituted the way we ideally are are UH
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: are are are formulated with our starters Malik Willis, we
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: can afford it. So uh there's an asterisk the fact
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: that the Packers are ranked thirty second. Well, the team
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: that's ranked thirty first is the Seattle Seahawks, so that
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: their their net outflows UH or inflows call it either one.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But Seattle has the second worst.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: So because because Emmanuel Wilson, you know, was making nothing right,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: you didn't bring anybody yet right, So it doesn't feel
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: like you lost a lot to some people. I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: that you lost something more than nothing. You lost Kenneth Walker,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you lost Kobe Bryant, Yeah lost Reek Willen Boy Maffy
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: wasn't a starter, but you know he's a pretty good
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: pass rush. Yeah, twenty million dollars somebody liked him.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, So.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And you lost your offensive coordinator. So I think that
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: if we're talking twenty twenty six, who had the best offseason?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't know how you could
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: say for this season that the Rams didn't have.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: A better off season.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Now, sure, now you could say Seattle was more that. Okay,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: what's the best argument for Seattle? Long They didn't give
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: up the expenditures that the Rams have, that the Rams
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: have made decisions that that are for for the now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: They're compromising the future. And oh, by the way, don't
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: really love their quarterback Ty Simpson, the guy that that
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: that is central to their big plane.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Is he worth the thirteenth pick?
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Overall? That's an odd pick to me when you think
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: of Jared Goff was in the building for McVeigh and
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: and you know, made Pro Bowls, made Super Bowls, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: he wasn't enough, so you sent him to Detroit for
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: two first rounders and Jared goff to get Matthew Stafford.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Why because Stafford just has this this unique freaky arm
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: talent and ability. Right well, Ty Sampson doesn't have that. Yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: you know, so like like he he he's a he's
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: a good athlete, moves around, but his arm is is
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: kind of Jared goffett ish, you know, it's certainly not
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford ish. So I think there's you could say,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: there's some peculiar things happening with them for the future.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But if Matthew Stafford can can keep his back healthy,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: because we know last year somehow yet you know he
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: couldn't throw in August all of a sudden, Now he's
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the m v p uh. There's good reason why they
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: want to go Now it's because of Matthew Staffor. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: take advantage of this dude.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's because even as a kid, I was
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: not like some die hard fan of a team. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: sort of get that if you did grow up that way,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: like you were in Seahawk diapers and you know, you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: had a sea Hawk bib and a you know, Seahawk
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: pappy and everything else that when you see an off
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: season where another team adds a Miles Garrett, I mean
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: there is an element of certain fans that want to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: see the other team have a bus crash on the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: way to the stadium so that the job is easier
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to get a win that day. I'm not really built
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that way. And maybe it's because I didn't grow up
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you know, some die hard fan of any team, much
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: less the Seahawks, having not grown up here.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: And maybe I'm sick the other way. But I'm kind
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: of excited about this. I'm kind of excited about you
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: get as.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Good what is you need to get on paper?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: You go ahead and do that, because I think the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: satisfaction of knocking them off again after they added Miles
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Garrett and Trent McDuffie and compromise their future. Do you
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: know how demoralizing that's going to be to the Los
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Angeles Rams organization if they fall short again. I'm kind
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of like Gray's Abel, right now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Bring it on, let's do it, let's do it. Let's
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: do it. And look, I get why they're the favorite.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: They should be the favorite. They they are the favorite
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: right now going into the season.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: So do you want but I'm all right with you
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: want Aaron Donald come back to like how far are
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: we going on this?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Because because I.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Feel like this is like a scale, like like you're
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: you're focused on the gratification when you win. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: and then but all these changes are lowering the probability
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: that you do. That's true, you know, So, I mean
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I get it, you're right that you would have more gratification,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: but I don't know, so you're not me so well,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: carry out that logics so that if if it was
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: reported that Matthew Stafford, you know that his back was
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: just too painful and he's decided to retire.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Whatever you disappointed, No, not disappointed, no, whatever whatever comes
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: come what may you know? Not disappointed, it's more of Okay,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you won the off season, now win the championship and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you still got to come through the champs.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Well, there's no question that it would be more gratifying
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: to beat the Rams and go to the Super Bowl again.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Knowing that they clearly they went pot committed to twenty
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: twenty six. They shubbed all their chips in I mean
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: most all their chips. As we said, they did draft
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: a quarterback for the future. So yeah, I mean they
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: couldn't take Kenyon Sadik or yeah with that that pick
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: with the third he was still available, all right. Uh,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: you know there's a couple who's the defensive end for
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: for Miami the oh yeah short, yeah, Bin Bain was
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: at like there's some guys you'd say, whoa they did.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: They got Miles Garrett, they got Trent McDuffie, and in
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the first round, we're gonna have to do with you know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: they play all those tight ends. Uh. And and they
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: added Kenyon Sadik to that bevy or Reuben Bain is
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: coming off the edge on the opposite side of Miles Garrett,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: like you know, whoa.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not rooting for them to have a yellow
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: brick road experience this year.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not rooting for Matts.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I go ahead, throw forty.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Six touchdown passes again, we'll see who wins in the end. No,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I want Miles Garrett to have three and a half
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: sacks in seventeen games.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: That's what that that Now I can root the other way. Yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I want the house to drop on it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I didn't root for them to get Miles Garrett,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: but now that they've got it, and they're winning the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: off season and everybody's picking them. I'm kind of excited
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: about it. I'm kind of excited to see how this
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: goes down. Yeah, I hope Aaron Donald decides, you know what,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Want it eat. I don't want to play anymore.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I I if Aaron Donald were to come back,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: you know, one would assume that that makes the job
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: even more difficult. Yeah, he's thirty five years old. You know,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I missed two season. But yeah, but uh, it's Aaron freakin' Donald.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: I know I would say, there's an interesting I can't
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to detach this emotionally and then kind of intellectually. Emotionally,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: you know, I want the Seahawks to win. The intellectual
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: part of me. I can't wait to see what Mike
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: McDonald does. You know, in reaction, this is year three
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: for his defense, assuming Emon Worry is gonna be fine
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: health wise, you know, even Worries on the incline. Devin
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Wortherspoon is on the incline. Sam Donald, I think, still
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Sam Sam, But you know, and then you got Brian Florey.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: You know, that's that's a big X factor.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I know we're gonna spend some time.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: An all a few days together for the first time,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and how long from one year to the next.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But I think Mike McDonald, you know, Mozart coaches
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: the defense, right, so I you know a theater sing right,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: So I'm more interested in him. I want to hear
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: him at the harpsichord and what he can create on them.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: You know, give give him a little time to to
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: compose another masterpiece because he's because he's a boy genius.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just and my response to that is.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: That's not the symphony I was looking for it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's my that's my response to that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what you would have never heard of him.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: That's true. That's a really bad song.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Then it has terrible medley, no harmony, no rhythm, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: no tone color. It's beautiful.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Imagine like you're sitting there and you're in the eighties
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and you're like, how do I pay tribute to the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: greatest musician of all time? Oh?
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I know, a really crappy song.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Annoying ABC's next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: A r f M to do the ABC's.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I figured he was like, can we start at the
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: beginning of the alphabet please.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted to do yeah a A tu zas. Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the bit, but we're
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: gonna probably get two or three in.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sorry, So that's the standard operating season usually.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. All right, let's get into it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: We'll start with the letter GG is for Gabe, And
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: my goodness, it was so good because we were all
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: so concerned that if Gabe threw to one batter and
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: then sat down for a half an inning, because no
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: pitcher ever does that, right, could he possibly would he
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: go back to the mound and I don't know, forget
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that he was left handed, would he throw twenty two
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: miles per hour? Would he just disintegrate into ash and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: float away on the mound? No. Turns out Dan Jerry
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: decided it's time that Gabe Spire can go out after
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a third of an inning and pitch the next and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: you know something, he was even better. To the surprise
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of all, it turns out Gabespire will not die if
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: he and then goes back out for another inning. Not
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: only that, he will thrive. What would the what precipitated that?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Did he have a more lefties coming up, Well, like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: what why the change? I think they're a little concerned
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: about his longevity durability. Same with Brash. I there are
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: different rules with all of the relief pitchers, and I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: think there was a strict Brash does not go down
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and back up again.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Teams do this now, But it was getting to the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: point where we were hearing how beat up the bullpen
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: is and how thin it is, and yet Dan still
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: will use Brash for a third of an inning or
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Gabe Spire for a third of an inning. Well, what
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the terrible use of your resources at that stage if
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you're saying that your bullpen's thin and you can only
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: trust three or four guys.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: And then you're only using him for a third of
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: an inning here and there. Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Well, we finally saw over the weekend for the first
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: time this year that they used Gabe Spier to close
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: an inning, sat him, let him pitch the next inning,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and he cried, No, I.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Got that, But why why this game? What was it
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: that they felt like, hey, we don't we don't like
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the alternative or was it the lineup that was coming
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: in in the next inning.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I think that was favorable for the combination if that's anders.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit removed from the injury list,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: so they're feeling better about his health. Number two, we're
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: in the second half of the season, so I mean
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: we probably are going to see at some point of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Munyo six out saved, so they're you know, I think.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: That's part of it as well.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And I think he didn't pitch for six days, so
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that's part of it as well, because you know, you
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: can't just sit around and wait for the perfect situations
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to throw your top two guys out of your bullpen.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So I think it was a combination of things. But
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: it was good to see, especially for somebody that has
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: been harping on this so much as of late, that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Gabe didn't die because he pitched an inning and a third.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: It was touch and go there for a little bit.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I was really worried.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: H is for he is with the Hail Marys at
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: the Rosary beats, be thankful on a morning like this,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: H is for hitter.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: And the Mariners are looking for a hitter.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: At the trading deadline, we got a little bit of
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: information over the week and we had our first substantial
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: trade of the trading deadline, and it's taken a while.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: The Boston Red Sox and the Washington Nationals pulled off
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a trade. And if this is any indication of what
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the market is saying, is the value value of a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: right handed hitter who it might be very difficult for
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Jerry to grab somebody. The Boston Red Sox gave up
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Conley Early, who is
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: got six years of control left and has been sensational
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: since he became a major leaguer and looks like he's
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: going to be like a legitimate number two, number three
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: starter in a rotation, and they just traded him. The
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Red Sox are in contention, but they wanted a bat,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and they had to give up Conley Early apparently to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals to get a guy in Curtis Mead,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: who is finally having a good season this year, but
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: not a great season. This is not like a top player.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: This is not like adding Byron Busteron or Vladimir Guerrero
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Junior to your lineup. It's Curtis Mead for goodness sake,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and it cost them in essence like an Emerson Hancock
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: type just to get a decent veteran right handed hitter
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: to add to their lineup. So if I don't know
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: if this is an indication of what the market's going
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to look like, but if it is, you can understand
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: why it's been so difficult for Jerry to pull off
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a trade to bring up a hitter, because apparently whoever
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: is selling right handed hitting is asking for a fortune
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in ready.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well sounds like the Red Sox gave up early
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: on that prospers.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Look at that. I don't know, I don't want to
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't exactly an early bird special, was it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but well, uh, we'll see how it plays out.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: But got to get up off the early in the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: morning to pull one over on.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, that just kind of empty net, you know,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: sometimes you got to shoot. But uh, I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: it makes sense. I don't know who Seattle's in in
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the market for. I thought Buxton has been he's he's
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: got a no trade clause, Yes he does, and has
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: he indicated he's not gonna wave it, been pretty firm
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: about it. Maybe he would for the right team, but
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: it's not looking like he's going to.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out a name though today something that
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: has not been tossed around here in this market. But
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: is somebody that I brought up in the offseason for
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the Mariners, Washington shortstop CJ. Abrams, who apparently they don't
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: really like. But he's having like an MVP type season,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and apparently the Nationals don't believe that they're in the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: race and are shopping him around. He's got two years
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: of control. He's a switch hitter. He's better from the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: left side than he is from the right side. He
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: plays shortstop not well. He is about the only shortstop
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: in the game that has worse metrics than what JP
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: had at shortstop. But he's crushing the baseball this year.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: If he's available, I got to believe that the Mariners
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: should be interested if nothing else. Hugh put him as
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a DH this year if you don't trust his defense,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and then next year. He's such a good young athlete
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: at age twenty five, turn him into an outfielder by
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: by next season he replaces Randi or Rose Arena and
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: left field, and.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: You know it's a Colt stan that sort stop. No
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: matter what, maybe not, I don't say no matter what.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I don't say no matter what, but I think so
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: he's he's below the Medoza line two now, isn't he
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I think he got well, he might have dipped back
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: below Sunday.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: He got over it at some point this weekend. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: haven't checked this morning.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but so would this this this guy be a
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: third baseman.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I suppose you could try it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you got to lose. I mean,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Donovan's not exactly been great guns over there, and I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: don't think JP's you know, Greg Nettles, So yeah, maybe
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: maybe you could do that. He's played some second base
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: in the past. We don't need one of those. But
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the point is, if this team needs a hitter, this
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: guy can hit, and he's young, and he's controllable, and
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna have to give up a fortune, I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: know there are a lot of people that don't want
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the Spencer Steers and Elliott ramos Is. They don't even
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: want to see that trade for the Mariners. Between now
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and the deadline. This would excite the fan base because
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: he is having like an m v P type season
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: this show.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: What did you think of the m Dan Wilson pulling
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: in the infield in the second inning on Saturday?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Did you have a reaction to that?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: And then and then as a double gets slapped down
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: the line that that JP can't get to it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: There, don't trust the offense to score any runs. You're
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: already down, Yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: They were down to run.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, they don't trust the offense. Yeah, a lot
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: more teams have been doing that lately.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, I don't know.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Uh. Finally changing, Finally I is for Italya because dom
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Can Zone has done it, big hit yesterday for dom
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Can Zone. A little funny thing about dom Canzone. He's
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: really embraced this Italy thing. He actually is feels more
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Spanish than he does. His mom's Spanish. Oh yeah, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: mom his dad's Italian. But there's like more Spanish blood
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in in thean Italian blood in it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah yeah, but he's really embraced. But we had
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: an eye, so we couldn't wait for us.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was an eye.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we couldn't wait for Spanish or an e Espania. Right,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: like we've already passed the ease, right, that's right, we
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: had an eye.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't choose this, the alphabet chooses it. You
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: didn't even want.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: To talk about this stuff, right, Yeah, I don't bring
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: up the topics the alphabet does it for us.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Uh, well, that was that was a hell of a
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: bomb that he hit. That You didn't comment much about
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: my thought about how he threw the parrel out and
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: like that. That was not you would not want to
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: teach a hitting class on that swing. That he right
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: because he threw the barrel out of the ball. You know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: he had to go down and get it as the
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: bottom strike sound, but it wasn't.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: He didn't. He didn't. You know, most great hits, you know.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: The you're pulling the butt of the bat through and
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: then the bat waits on the back foot the barrel
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: trails man. He he stopped his hands and and and
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: and threw the barrel at the ball. And unbelievable forum
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: strength to be able to jacket that far. I mean
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: there's a home runs and then there's home runs Like
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: there's no doubters. Oh, he's got power with the slot
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: with with uh less than ideal mechanics, he was able
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: to just kind of flip that thing.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'll give a mess because he battled for
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a double earlier in the weekend and then he had
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the double down the Rifield line. I mean, I'd like
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to kind of see more of that even I mean,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: that's just battling, that's just trying to put the ball
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in play. But when you have that kind of power
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and you're just trying to not strike out, and let
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I got fooled, I'm out in front and now I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: gotta do something.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: At least he put barrel on ball. And look how
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: far dom can Zone can.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: While we're on the topic, I could look it up,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: but tell me he was initially a hey, you're just
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: a platoon guy. Then he earned the right to uh
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: to see both sides or just to see both pictures.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: What's the update in that regard? Is he he's every day?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I know he's I know he is, But what are
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: the numbers? Saying as the numbers is just like cement,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: this guy is like like it's a done and faded,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: like he's the guy or or is there still some numbers.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Would still like Juliocal and Josh to be the guy
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and then cam Zone hits sixth for you and provides power.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: But right now he is the most reliable guy in
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the middle of your order and should be hitting third.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: You know, we were talking about the h we gotta,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: we gotta bounce.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, yeah.

  Speaker 5: a game on Saturday.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: And actually never.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Played softball, Hugh, did you know that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Never played softball?
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's going to be in a celebrity softball thing. Yeah,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. I wanted the cage to learn how to
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: hit a softball.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: You must have disappointed your high school softball coach. We
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: didn't have softball, Huh.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: I don't think we did, right, I don't know. Well,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: we had a really good swimming program. But here's the
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: thing is, I was sitting there talking to five Iron
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: last night about this. I was like, all right, I'm
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: gonna go. I mean, I feel like I've absorbed quite
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: a bit being a softball mom and helping Palmer.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: The great practice.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: But as I was sitting there getting ready to go
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: to bed last night, all of a sudden, my eyes
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: shot open and I said to five Iron, oh crap,
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: He said what And I said, I just realized I
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: also have to field. I can't just go hit the ball.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Well, you could be like Luke Rayley in center field,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: you know, on Saturday night frying Wu. You know, in
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: the first inning, you know, a routine ball, he covered
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: about a few more feet than a traffic cone would
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: have to not get the ball right Like, WU was like,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: are you effing kidding me?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: How bad was that? And who knows how different that
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: game is. I mean, that's what That's the problem with
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Wu on the road is like something always seems to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: go wonky, and then it blows up on him like
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Rayley makes that play and who knows what it's Like
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I used to say about Mark Trumbo and he played
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: left field. You're better off with a lawn chair out
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: in the left field because if the ball is hit
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to the lawn chair, it might fold up and catch it.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Yeah.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a distinction, right, I mean if it was
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: a normal just a regular, regular chair, right yeah, then
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, wing back chair from your office wouldn't be far.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: He was a lot better than a wing back chair
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: from the office. Yeah, not as good as a law chair. Here.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Do you have one last thing?
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Not really prepared for this the because usually you guys
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: asked me a question.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we do one last thing. Well you talk
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: to King.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, you know there's some old pals of
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: the market, those guys Chris Sigan, Paul Silvie really hard
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: I know, yeah, they suck really difficult human beings to
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: get along with.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: First class turns.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the uh you know what, how about Jacoby Brissette.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: We didn't talk about him today. I looked and he
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: is he just signed a new content Remember the thing
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: like it's not the the best, it's the next you know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: you know, at every position, right and so so this
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: is a fresh new contract and it's sport from the
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: bottom of all quarterbacks in the NFL.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: So that concludes guys on rookie deals.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it includes, yeah, but I think
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: for a team in your division, it couldn't be more ideal.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: It's like he I looked up his career log. Every
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: time he's had the opportunity to to be a starter,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: he's just kind of been solidly just below the average,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: if you know, if at all.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I think they're not concerned about it there.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I think they know it's a rebuilding year and why
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: do we even want to be good this year? Yeah,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: he keeps them competitive just in case, you know, you
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: catch lightning in a bottle. He's not terrible at the position,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but you know, they didn't want to bring anybody in
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: too good.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: No, they're probably trying, you know, if arch manningess is
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: the thing everybody.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is hoping for.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: But I think it's a as tough as this division is.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: With the rams of the forty nine ers having a
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: what should be a couple of relatively easy wins in
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: the division. Pretty good, he's making fifteen million. He's got
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: an incentives, he could make it up to twenty one million,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: but again that only puts him fourth from the bottom,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: so that he is the definition of a fringe starter.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah, poor guy fifteen
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: million a year.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, I'm going to close with us just
• 38:45
