Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Smacks left field, or how much as on twenty hits gone.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Three run home run can rally if the Mariners have
- 0:19Speaker 2: blown in opening the seventh any eh, maybe not?
- 0:24Speaker 3: Maybe not.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Huge.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Uh.
- 0:29Speaker 2: It turned out to be a very big play for
- 0:33Speaker 2: the ms cal Rawly a three run homer made it
- 0:35Speaker 2: six to nothing yesterday. Unfortunately, the Mariners blew that six
- 0:40Speaker 2: nothing lead. Uh. The Twins scored five times in the
- 0:43Speaker 2: eighth and once more in the ninth against our better relievers,
- 0:47Speaker 2: our best relievers, to tie the score at six to six,
- 0:51Speaker 2: and then it took a Colt Emerson walk off single
- 0:55Speaker 2: to win that contest yesterday seven to six. So that's
- 0:57Speaker 2: two in a row for the Mariners, who woke up
- 1:00Speaker 2: Saturday about as low as you can wake up in
- 1:03Speaker 2: the middle of a baseball season. But they've now won
- 1:06Speaker 2: two straight back to within three games of five hundred,
- 1:10Speaker 2: which is disgusting to say, three games out of first place,
- 1:13Speaker 2: two games out of the wild card, and perhaps a
- 1:17Speaker 2: renewed lease on life as they get ready for the
- 1:19Speaker 2: trading deadline today at three pm. They will have the
- 1:22Speaker 2: day off and then take on the Detroit Tigers at
- 1:25Speaker 2: home starting tomorrow night, and it could be a depleted
- 1:29Speaker 2: Tiger roster after today's deadline. We've had all sorts of
- 1:32Speaker 2: trade activity already this morning, and a lot yesterday as well.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Just recap the stuff from today. The Philadelphia Fillies have
- 1:40Speaker 2: already made two trades. They've traded for Luis Arise, the
- 1:43Speaker 2: all star second baseman of the San Francisco Giants, also
- 1:47Speaker 2: left handed reliever Brooks Raley from the New York Mets,
- 1:50Speaker 2: and the Toronto Blue Jays, after trading Kevin Gosman yesterday
- 1:54Speaker 2: to the Chicago Cubs, have acquired Jose Soriano from the
- 1:59Speaker 2: Angels in exchange for the number two prospect in their
- 2:03Speaker 2: organization and a couple of other prospects. And so the
- 2:06Speaker 2: Blue Jays already thinking about next season by acquiring Jose Soriano.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Of course, some other news to pass along. Seafair came
- 2:16Speaker 2: to an end yesterday. The WNBA trading deadline Yesterday saw
- 2:19Speaker 2: Kelsey plumb to the Phoenix Mercury from the Sparks Sounders
- 2:23Speaker 2: fell to the Timbers over the weekend again, but this
- 2:25Speaker 2: time just two to one. It was at least closer.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Jadebian Clowney signed with the Houston Texans. We are in
- 2:32Speaker 2: the week of the Hall of Fame game, So the
- 2:33Speaker 2: preseason will start this weekend, and of course training camp
- 2:37Speaker 2: continues right here from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center at
- 2:40Speaker 2: his time on a very busy day, to chat with
- 2:42Speaker 2: Greg Bell as.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Part of our continuing NFL coverage for the twelfth Man.
- 2:47Speaker 1: This is twelfth Man News, part of Chuck's daily visit

- 3:07Speaker 2: Good morning, Greg, Good morning, A lot to catch up
- 3:11Speaker 2: on here today, My goodness. There's a lot going on
- 3:14Speaker 2: here today for a baseball junkie, that is well, but
- 3:19Speaker 2: we brought you on to talk some Seahawks football. So
- 3:22Speaker 2: how was your weekend? How did you manage to to
- 3:27Speaker 2: balance Ed Shearing and Seahawks training camp at the exact
- 3:31Speaker 2: same time.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Well, fortunately, Seahawks don't practice at night. They have covered
- 3:36Speaker 3: training camps at the hard night. They don't do that.
- 3:40Speaker 3: So yeah, that's how we got to My wife got
- 3:42Speaker 3: the Ed Shearing with me on Saturday. Really good show,
- 3:44Speaker 3: by the way, a three hours.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Wow, get you your money field.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he came out after the encore. He came
- 3:52Speaker 3: out of the Seahawks the great jersey that they were
- 3:55Speaker 3: against the Rams last December, but it didn't have a
- 3:58Speaker 3: number on. It looked weird. It was like a knockoff
- 4:01Speaker 3: or something. But I thought he should have had a
- 4:03Speaker 3: Sam Donald fourteen because he has a passing resemblance and
- 4:07Speaker 3: red hair.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Tonald Gingers usually stick together, I've learned over the last
- 4:12Speaker 2: eight years.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Yes, yes, he broke ranks with that. Yeah, it was weird,
- 4:17Speaker 3: but to see that, yeah, it was a really really
- 4:19Speaker 3: good show. It was I'm not a big and cheering guy,
- 4:21Speaker 3: my wife is, but I enjoyed it all.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Right, Well, let's get caught up to date on what
- 4:26Speaker 2: we did see this weekend including I don't know what
- 4:30Speaker 2: you call this, like a new contract gait, I don't
- 4:34Speaker 2: know JSN versus. Devin Witherspoon tell us about the showdown
- 4:38Speaker 2: that went down on day seven.
- 4:40Speaker 5: On Saturday, And at the highlight of the practice was
- 4:44Speaker 5: one on one passing in the red zone and inside
- 4:47Speaker 5: the ten yard line and they lined up against each
- 4:50Speaker 5: other and Samanta jigbeb just lowered his shoulder and went right.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Into him as if in the window, stood as if
- 4:57Speaker 3: he's running a straight go route into the end, and
- 5:00Speaker 3: then he broke it off to the left and winnersfrem
- 5:03Speaker 3: grabbed him and the NFL officials who were here this
- 5:06Speaker 3: weekend through the flag, and then Darnald threw the ball
- 5:10Speaker 3: anyway it was on the line, went right over Witherspoon's
- 5:13Speaker 3: head and quite turned his head quickly enough, and Smith
- 5:16Speaker 3: and jig wikata for a touchdown, and Widerspoon was still
- 5:19Speaker 3: ticked off. And I had used it as a lead
- 5:22Speaker 3: to my story at the News Dreaming because one is
- 5:25Speaker 3: something you never see in the regular season, obviously, but
- 5:28Speaker 3: it also was interesting because it's stargain Star and it's
- 5:31Speaker 3: the guy, the first round pick that they gave one
- 5:33Speaker 3: hundred and sixty eight million dollars to an NFL record
- 5:36Speaker 3: for a wide receiver this spring, versus the guy they're
- 5:38Speaker 3: trying to get a deal done to be the highest
- 5:40Speaker 3: paid cornerback in the league. And there aren't too many
- 5:43Speaker 3: training camps around the NFL that the highest paid wide
- 5:47Speaker 3: receiver and about to be highest paid cornerback or close
- 5:50Speaker 3: to it, go head to head and that happens every
- 5:53Speaker 3: day out here, but it was on display in a
- 5:55Speaker 3: drill and it was obviously the highlight of the day.
- 6:00Speaker 4: That's great.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Whetherspoon has not publicly powdered, he's not held in, he's
- 6:05Speaker 3: not said I'm not doing this or I'm not doing that.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I'm not scrimmaging. He's Mike McDonald said Friday or Thursday
- 6:12Speaker 3: that he's really impressed by how he's handled all this professionally.
- 6:16Speaker 3: And the Denzel Award signing the contract with Cleveland last
- 6:22Speaker 3: week seems to have complicated and at least got the
- 6:26Speaker 3: agents for both Christian Gonzalez and Witherspoon, who happened to
- 6:30Speaker 3: be just from the same agency, and the same agents,
- 6:31Speaker 3: by the way, Reggie Johnson from CIA. They look like
- 6:36Speaker 3: they're going back to the drawing board now. The Denzel Ward,
- 6:39Speaker 3: that's the highest paid contract, and it may add a
- 6:42Speaker 3: couple hundred thousand dollars to the deal, a sweeten it
- 6:45Speaker 3: for each guy to go above Ward.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Greg bellis with US Seahawks Insider as we are broadcasting
- 6:51Speaker 2: again here from Seahawks training camp here on a chillier
- 6:54Speaker 2: Monday morning. Greg will be out here with his show
- 6:57Speaker 2: at ten o'clock. I know, when Brian Flury was hired, immediately,
- 7:02Speaker 2: you know, people started thinking about, Okay, what could he
- 7:04Speaker 2: bring that's a little different from Kubiak to this scenario.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And then you look at his background and you see
- 7:11Speaker 2: that he coached tight ends and he had good tight
- 7:13Speaker 2: ends and the forty nine ers used their tight ends
- 7:16Speaker 2: very smartly, and George Kittle became a star, if not
- 7:19Speaker 2: a superstar in San Francisco, and he played a hand
- 7:23Speaker 2: in that, at least in Brian Flury. So we've done
- 7:26Speaker 2: a lot of talking here in the last few months
- 7:29Speaker 2: about how that could impact the starter A. J. Barner.
- 7:33Speaker 2: But they spent a second round draft pick on Elijah
- 7:35Speaker 2: Arroyo just a year ago, and maybe we haven't spent
- 7:38Speaker 2: enough time talking about how Arroyo is going to benefit
- 7:41Speaker 2: from Flury and the new offense. What are you figuring
- 7:44Speaker 2: out about that?
- 7:46Speaker 3: Well, it's only been a week plus in camp, but
- 7:48Speaker 3: it looks like Arroyo is going to benefit quite a
- 7:50Speaker 3: bit from this. He's had a much more prominent role
- 7:54Speaker 3: already in a week than he did last year. He
- 7:57Speaker 3: only had fifteen catches in thirteen games and only play
- 8:00Speaker 3: forty percent of the snaps and his blocking still needs
- 8:04Speaker 3: to improve and they're working on that, but there's no doubt. Well,
- 8:08Speaker 3: let me just say a peers after week. We'll see
- 8:11Speaker 3: what it ends up being in September in October, but
- 8:13Speaker 3: appears so far that Brian Fleury's offense is going to
- 8:16Speaker 3: feature tight ends more, and it's going to feature him
- 8:19Speaker 3: down the field in a deeper passing game. It's going
- 8:22Speaker 3: to have more quick motion right before the snap, and
- 8:25Speaker 3: at times it looks like it does remind you of
- 8:28Speaker 3: the forty nine ers because it looks like tight ends
- 8:30Speaker 3: and fullbacks are almost interchangeable sometimes. In fact, Robbie Oots
- 8:34Speaker 3: has been practicing in some of the position drills as
- 8:37Speaker 3: a tight end blocking click offensive tackles, which of course
- 8:41Speaker 3: what he did at the University of Alabama before they
- 8:43Speaker 3: convert him to a fullback left season. So the point
- 8:47Speaker 3: is tight ends and fullbacks are a big part of
- 8:51Speaker 3: their offense, and more so than even with Clint Kobak,
- 8:54Speaker 3: who didn't ignore them. But they're moving them around, they
- 8:57Speaker 3: put them in motion, and Arroyo getting out in space
- 9:01Speaker 3: is exactly why they drafted him. We'll see how much
- 9:04Speaker 3: in line tight end stuff they do, but they still
- 9:06Speaker 3: have him in the slot. They still have him doing
- 9:08Speaker 3: It just reminds me a lot of Jimmy Graham. How
- 9:10Speaker 3: was a stand up tight end like Graham was ten
- 9:14Speaker 3: years ago. But there's a good chance here for a
- 9:17Speaker 3: Royal to make a much stronger impact, maybe like a
- 9:19Speaker 3: second round pick should in this offense, it looks like
- 9:23Speaker 3: it's gonna be tight end heavy, and then that's an
- 9:25Speaker 3: offensive coordinata that's a tight ends coach. Makes sense.
- 9:28Speaker 2: What's going on with the running back battle? I got
- 9:30Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson coming on at seven five, so I'd like
- 9:34Speaker 2: to know the skinny on that.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Well. Emany Wilson has had a few snaps with the
- 9:39Speaker 3: ones in some of the days, but it's still clearly
- 9:42Speaker 3: Jering Price and George Hallani as the starters alternating. It
- 9:46Speaker 3: depends sometimes on the day, but Saturday we'd last practice
- 9:50Speaker 3: say they were off. Yesterday Saturday was more a little
- 9:53Speaker 3: more of a Hallani as the first back at the
- 9:55Speaker 3: start of drives and then Price. It's still a lot
- 9:59Speaker 3: of including Wilson. Wilson runs heavier. He just he's a
- 10:06Speaker 3: bigger guy, not quite as tall. He's certainly not as
- 10:08Speaker 3: sleek as Price. He's a little taller than Halani. He
- 10:13Speaker 3: I'm gonna make some Sea York fans nervous when I
- 10:15Speaker 3: say this. He reminds me of Eddie Lacy, but he's
- 10:18Speaker 3: not nearly as heavy and he's not quite as big,
- 10:21Speaker 3: but he runs like him, more of a thudder and
- 10:25Speaker 3: try to run you over type of guy. He also
- 10:27Speaker 3: wears Lacey's old number twenty seven that Lacey Warrior. Not
- 10:31Speaker 3: very distinguishingly, but he seems to be He's not quite
- 10:36Speaker 3: a bowling ball type of back, but he seems to
- 10:38Speaker 3: be the thunder to the more lightning type of price.
- 10:42Speaker 3: We'll see if there's a role. Wilson has an not guaranteed,
- 10:46Speaker 3: just above minimum salary deal for just one year, so
- 10:49Speaker 3: they have structured it where if they need. If he
- 10:51Speaker 3: doesn't work out it, I don't think they look like
- 10:53Speaker 3: what they see there, then he may not make the team.
- 10:56Speaker 3: But we talk all the time about how many running
- 10:58Speaker 3: backs they need, how many they go through, and how
- 11:00Speaker 3: injured the position is. It appears there's a role for him,
- 11:04Speaker 3: and he's just off the cusp of the ones doing
- 11:07Speaker 3: a lot of stuff with the.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Two Greg bell Our guest our Seahawks. Inside, of course,
- 11:12Speaker 2: follow him at g Bell Seattle on X Get your
- 11:15Speaker 2: subscription to the Newstribune dot com so you can have
- 11:18Speaker 2: Greg there in your back pocket all year along as
- 11:22Speaker 2: you follow the Seattle Seahawks, And of course he joins
- 11:26Speaker 2: us nearly every day at seven o five here on
- 11:29Speaker 2: the program. So are we ready? Is HBO ready? Are
- 11:33Speaker 2: we ready for what we're going to see tomorrow night?
- 11:35Speaker 2: Are the Seahawks ready for what's going to be revealed
- 11:37Speaker 2: tomorrow night?
- 11:39Speaker 3: Tomorrow night's the first third KNOXT episode. I don't know
- 11:42Speaker 3: that there'll be any secrets we'll see, but I don't
- 11:46Speaker 3: think there'll be any secrets. You'll see some of the
- 11:48Speaker 3: fighting that's been going on out that the pads around.
- 11:50Speaker 3: You'll see Ryan Neil kicking the ball into the stands
- 11:54Speaker 3: and doing backward next to he pungs into the end
- 11:56Speaker 3: zone like Mason Lance. You'll see not Ryani, bud Clart
- 12:00Speaker 3: gives me the rookie safety. You'll see bud Clart meaning
- 12:04Speaker 3: Richard Sherman and talking to him with the microphone. Stuff
- 12:08Speaker 3: we've already seen in live. The nation will see that,
- 12:12Speaker 3: and the nation's going to see Devin Woodspoon chatty and
- 12:15Speaker 3: being the life of the team and always chirping at people,
- 12:18Speaker 3: but they do. The Seahawks says, I understand it. Do
- 12:23Speaker 3: get a chance to review the episode about thirty six
- 12:26Speaker 3: hours before it airs, and they're not expecting to have
- 12:30Speaker 3: to use it. But if they did object to something
- 12:32Speaker 3: that got filmed and survived the editing process, they could
- 12:35Speaker 3: raise that concern to NFL Films in HBO before it airs,
- 12:39Speaker 3: So there's some coordination and cooperation going on. McDonald said
- 12:44Speaker 3: they've talked quite a bit, the production staff and the
- 12:48Speaker 3: team and him and the coaching staff about what seems
- 12:51Speaker 3: to be off out of bounds and not the air,
- 12:53Speaker 3: and he doesn't think that's going to be a big deal.
- 12:56Speaker 3: You are going to see a lot of Mike McDonald.
- 12:58Speaker 3: They're featuring him and his isms as twelve is one,
- 13:02Speaker 3: and his team meetings and his walking talks that I
- 13:04Speaker 3: talk about, and his self deprecating. They released the trailer
- 13:09Speaker 3: last week to him saying I'm the most awkward guy
- 13:12Speaker 3: in the history of the country and all of that.
- 13:15Speaker 3: So the nation's gonna get see a little more. Even locally,
- 13:18Speaker 3: we're gonna get see a little more of him in
- 13:21Speaker 3: behind the scenes, and then team meetings and whatnot. That
- 13:23Speaker 3: may end up being the more insightful part of the show.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Probably. Finally, I'll close with this, Jadeveon Clowney signed
- 13:31Speaker 2: over the weekend with Houston, but as I understand it,
- 13:35Speaker 2: the Seahawks were interested. He's got a relationship with Mike McDonald,
- 13:39Speaker 2: so that at least tells me that they're not done
- 13:42Speaker 2: kicking the tires on. An addition to this, front seven.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Correct not only EDG dresher, but defensive line interior as well.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Those are two areas that they constantly look at during
- 13:54Speaker 3: training camp. They have a history of signing guys in camp,
- 13:57Speaker 3: through camp, and sometimes after cuts in the middle of
- 14:01Speaker 3: right before the regular season. A dirty little secret in
- 14:05Speaker 3: the NFL is guys of Jenevion Clowney's age, stature, and
- 14:09Speaker 3: experience in the league. They usually don't sign contracts in July.
- 14:14Speaker 3: They wait till later in August that Clowney did, so
- 14:17Speaker 3: that they don't have to go through the heat of
- 14:19Speaker 3: the grind of training camp. They just skip it and
- 14:22Speaker 3: wait to sign to the end. Not always, but some
- 14:24Speaker 3: guys really do say I'll just take a pass of this.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Is like my twelve camp. I don't think I need
- 14:28Speaker 3: to go through.
- 14:29Speaker 4: This Augst Tlimp.
- 14:31Speaker 2: I don't care how nice they make it. Football players
- 14:33Speaker 2: are always gonna hate camp.
- 14:35Speaker 3: The starters do because they know their jobs there, so
- 14:37Speaker 3: they're not auditioning for anything. They're just going through the
- 14:39Speaker 3: motions of doing it because they have to. But yes, Clowney,
- 14:44Speaker 3: they were interested in. They did check him out, and
- 14:47Speaker 3: they negotiate, and maybe the Houston's price was better, But
- 14:51Speaker 3: that won't be the last one of those that John
- 14:53Speaker 3: Schneider goes for and looks at and considers. And I'm
- 14:58Speaker 3: every summer expect to add a veteran defensive tackle and
- 15:02Speaker 3: edge and about half the time they do.
- 15:04Speaker 2: All right, man, what do you got planned for the
- 15:06Speaker 2: show today?
- 15:08Speaker 3: Well, we'll talk to Castillo Chade. I think it's a
- 15:11Speaker 3: pretty it's almost a heist by Jerry Depoto to get
- 15:14Speaker 3: players and get the White Sox that take got on
- 15:16Speaker 3: all his salary. We're going to talk to trying to
- 15:19Speaker 3: talk to Scott Mark and he's been for a quarter
- 15:21Speaker 3: century a beat writer for the White Sox back in
- 15:23Speaker 3: Chicago at MLB dot com about why the Sox did
- 15:26Speaker 3: take on all that money and who Seahawks are getting
- 15:28Speaker 3: who the Mariners are getting back in that trade. You
- 15:32Speaker 3: know check out. You may have mentioned it, but part
- 15:34Speaker 3: of the reason that Jerry Depoto has been here this
- 15:36Speaker 3: long is for trades like this. Ownership loves this effect
- 15:40Speaker 3: that he unloaded Castillo's contract and got younger club control
- 15:44Speaker 3: type players back in return. It's that's how the business works.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And it really doesn't make the team better
- 15:52Speaker 2: right now. So we'll see what they do before between
- 15:55Speaker 2: now and three pm today. But yes, it did clear
- 15:59Speaker 2: some stuff out and it cleared up the rotation for now,
- 16:03Speaker 2: so I mean, they got more out of it than
- 16:06Speaker 2: I thought that they would. And yet still, I mean,
- 16:10Speaker 2: you know, we need to decide whether or not we're
- 16:12Speaker 2: going for this or not between now and three o'clock.
- 16:15Speaker 2: All right, Greg, thank you sir, We appreciate it.
- 16:17Speaker 3: We'll see you soon, Okay, thank you, all.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Right, Greg Bell our Seahawks insider joining us right here

- 17:44Speaker 2: baseball discussed at least on this morning radio show. Uh.
- 17:49Speaker 2: And since I'm the only person here at the set, Ashley,
- 17:53Speaker 2: I guess I can get away with that, Huh.
- 17:54Speaker 6: I think you ken, Yeah, you get to decide.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Uh, by the way I am going to be I'm

- 18:52Speaker 2: there at five Get there at five am, and then
- 18:55Speaker 2: listen play at the casino. Yeah, play that at the
- 18:57Speaker 2: casino all day long. And then at the night you
- 19:00Speaker 2: come see me at five o'clock after you've refreshed with
- 19:03Speaker 2: a nice bath, and then watch George and the Destroyers
- 19:07Speaker 2: Thursday night. All right, let's get into the ABC's of
- 19:10Speaker 2: the MS. We are at the end of the alphabet,
- 19:13Speaker 2: and we will go with w WS for Wilson's Dan
- 19:17Speaker 2: Wilson again. Ashley and I did the Tacoma game on Friday.
- 19:24Speaker 2: But when I heard that he pinch hit Mitch Garver
- 19:29Speaker 2: for Victor Roblaze with the game on the line, a
- 19:34Speaker 2: really important game, I almost just threw myself into traffic.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Victor Roblaze had been six for his last twelve. I mean,
- 19:45Speaker 2: you're trying to get a guy. You're trying to keep
- 19:47Speaker 2: the inning going, are you not. You know, you got
- 19:49Speaker 2: a little bit of a rally started, and Mitch Garver's
- 19:52Speaker 2: hitting one seventy and a right hander was on the mound,
- 19:56Speaker 2: So you don't even have a good, good matchup for him.
- 20:00Speaker 2: There and you took the contact hitting Roeblacee, who had
- 20:04Speaker 2: been hitting five hundred over his last twelve appearances, and
- 20:09Speaker 2: of course came through yesterday when you didn't take him
- 20:11Speaker 2: out of the game. You took him out so that
- 20:14Speaker 2: you could have your biggest swing and miss guy on
- 20:16Speaker 2: the entire roster step up to the plate. You didn't
- 20:19Speaker 2: need a three run homer. He just needed to keep
- 20:21Speaker 2: the inning going. Yeah, So I didn't understand that. I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 2: I didn't get the entire because I, again, I get
- 20:27Speaker 2: that did the Tacoma game on Friday, So I did
- 20:30Speaker 2: not get to watch Friday Night's Mariners game, and I
- 20:33Speaker 2: certainly wasn't going to go back to rewatch it the
- 20:35Speaker 2: next day. But uh, to hear on the way home
- 20:39Speaker 2: that that's how that situation was handled just ridiculous.
- 20:45Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a head scratcher, it's and those are
- 20:47Speaker 6: the things that I that, you know, make it so
- 20:49Speaker 6: frustrating about him, because I want him to be smart
- 20:52Speaker 6: and make smart choices and do well and succeed.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Obviously we all want that, But.
- 20:58Speaker 6: I would like to find someone that could explain why
- 21:00Speaker 6: that was a good move.
- 21:02Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't I don't understand it. And
- 21:04Speaker 2: then the other Wilson who we I guess are just
- 21:07Speaker 2: stuck with have been stuck with as our third baseman.
- 21:11Speaker 2: West and Wilson. I don't know if his time is limited,
- 21:14Speaker 2: I would have I would imagine Stuart Fairchild that's going
- 21:18Speaker 2: to be shown the door when Brendan Donovan is activated.
- 21:21Speaker 2: But we are expected to get Brendan Donovan back tomorrow
- 21:24Speaker 2: in time for the Tigers series, and so we shouldn't
- 21:29Speaker 2: see West and Wilson at third base much longer, if
- 21:32Speaker 2: at all, going forward. Maybe a little bit, but that's
- 21:37Speaker 2: another thing that is very hair pulling at this point.
- 21:41Speaker 2: So maybe we'll see an end to that, Wilson at
- 21:45Speaker 2: least at third base by tomorrow. X factor is X
- 21:50Speaker 2: and Josh Naylor has to be it. Josh Naylor, who's
- 21:55Speaker 2: had a little bit of a frustrating season, certainly statistically
- 21:59Speaker 2: over not exactly what you were wanting from him after
- 22:03Speaker 2: you gave him a big contract in the offseason. I
- 22:06Speaker 2: think he might still be at negative war on the year,
- 22:10Speaker 2: but that goes back to some really sloppy defensive play
- 22:14Speaker 2: and obviously he's not hit for power this year. But
- 22:18Speaker 2: we're seeing a different Josh Naylor all of a sudden,
- 22:21Speaker 2: and if he's got to be the pied piper to
- 22:24Speaker 2: lead us, if this is the edge that we need,
- 22:27Speaker 2: that edge that we saw in Game one against the Dodgers,
- 22:31Speaker 2: if that's the edge that is going to be required
- 22:34Speaker 2: going forward, then maybe Josh Naylor is showing up to
- 22:37Speaker 2: be the leader of this team at the perfect time.
- 22:41Speaker 2: He willed this team to wins on Saturday and Sunday.
- 22:45Speaker 2: And I know some other people contributed to that, and
- 22:48Speaker 2: some other guys came through in clutch moments, but Naylor
- 22:51Speaker 2: getting both of those rallies started, then his base running
- 22:56Speaker 2: really being the key to both of those innings and
- 23:00Speaker 2: those comebacks and those walk offs, and to get all
- 23:03Speaker 2: bloodied and scraped up and one of the worst slides
- 23:08Speaker 2: you'll ever see, but also one of the best base
- 23:12Speaker 2: running moves we've seen all year long. I mean, he
- 23:14Speaker 2: just suckered Luke Keishel into thinking he was just pulling
- 23:18Speaker 2: up at second and then takes off toward third and
- 23:21Speaker 2: caught him completely off guard. Josh Naylor willed us to
- 23:25Speaker 2: those two wins on Saturday and Sunday, so better late
- 23:29Speaker 2: than never. It feels like Ashley a team that might
- 23:32Speaker 2: be in need of a leader right now, Josh Naylor
- 23:36Speaker 2: seems to be stepping up and stepping into that role,
- 23:39Speaker 2: if by example for no other reason.
- 23:41Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing, if you, I mean, you know,
- 23:45Speaker 6: as fans, we watched him slide headfirst into third base
- 23:47Speaker 6: yesterday and thought, oh my gosh, that had to hurt,
- 23:49Speaker 6: and look at him just life and limb, you know,
- 23:52Speaker 6: giving life and limb to keep this game going for
- 23:55Speaker 6: the Mariners and try to help them get the wins.
- 23:57Speaker 6: So if the fans reacted that way, I can't that
- 24:01Speaker 6: the player's reaction was any less. I mean, the players
- 24:03Speaker 6: had to have been like, all right, look at what
- 24:05Speaker 6: he just did for us.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Luis Castile was one of our leaders and
- 24:10Speaker 2: he's no longer here. JP Crawford was one of our leaders.
- 24:13Speaker 2: He's had a frustrated year, frustrating ear, and now he's
- 24:16Speaker 2: on the injury list. Cayle Raley is one of the leaders,
- 24:18Speaker 2: and yet he's hitting one sixty two on the season.
- 24:22Speaker 2: There is a spot here for somebody to step up
- 24:26Speaker 2: and become the leader here down the stretch, and Josh
- 24:30Speaker 2: Naylor looks like a different Josh Naylor. He's not playing
- 24:33Speaker 2: lackadaisically in the field. He's kind of fixed that. He's
- 24:35Speaker 2: still not hitting home runs, but he's playing through an injury.
- 24:38Speaker 2: That's very clear. And I think over the weekend, I
- 24:41Speaker 2: think he almost willed us to that win on Friday
- 24:44Speaker 2: as well. So Josh Naylor has certainly he's turned a page.
- 24:49Speaker 2: There's no lasadaisical play on his part anymore. He's showing
- 24:52Speaker 2: up like a warrior every single night here in this
- 24:55Speaker 2: weekend series, and it's hopefully going to rub off the
- 25:00Speaker 2: rest of the roster.
- 25:01Speaker 7: Why is for Yorkshaw because we signed Sir Anthony Dominga's.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Yes, yes, a little bit.
- 25:15Speaker 7: But Anthony is a night Hi Caliba.
- 25:23Speaker 2: You know he's not very good. Perfect okay, but he's
- 25:30Speaker 2: not very good. But everybody keeps thinking they see the talent.
- 25:33Speaker 2: He's got a lot of talent, and they want to
- 25:36Speaker 2: thrust him into high leverage rules. That's what the White
- 25:38Speaker 2: Sox did. They started with him this season as their closer,
- 25:41Speaker 2: and he struggled in that role. And I think anybody,
- 25:45Speaker 2: I mean Domingas was in Philadelphia and Baltimore before that.
- 25:48Speaker 2: I think anybody in Philadelphia and Baltimore and Toronto Gino
- 25:51Speaker 2: hit up Grand Gino's Grand Slam in the playoffs. Was
- 25:54Speaker 2: officer Anthony Domingez. I think anybody that had had him
- 25:58Speaker 2: before would have told you the same thing. That's a mistake.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I mean, he can be a valuable piece. He throws
- 26:04Speaker 2: one hundred. You know, he dominates right handers, but don't
- 26:09Speaker 2: put him in high leverage roles. That's not what he's
- 26:11Speaker 2: gonna be. But we don't need him to be that
- 26:14Speaker 2: since they demoted him into more of a low leverage reliever.
- 26:19Speaker 2: He's been actually really good as of late, and his
- 26:22Speaker 2: numbers are fine for the season, and lately they've been
- 26:25Speaker 2: really good and he's dominated right he's all season long.
- 26:28Speaker 2: So there is a niche that he can fill on
- 26:30Speaker 2: this team to be our and with Bizardo struggling, probably
- 26:34Speaker 2: our fourth guy now out of the bullpen, with Bizardo
- 26:37Speaker 2: getting demoted, but he will certainly give this bullpen a
- 26:41Speaker 2: little bit more depth. He's not worth the seven million
- 26:44Speaker 2: they're paying him this year. He's not gonna be worth
- 26:46Speaker 2: the ten he's they're gonna pay him next year. But
- 26:49Speaker 2: under the circumstances, you knew if he were trading Castillo,
- 26:52Speaker 2: you were gonna have to take on a bad contract,
- 26:54Speaker 2: and this was the White Sox version of a bad contract.
- 26:58Speaker 2: And so I think help the team. I actually, and
- 27:02Speaker 2: we'll talk more about this at eight o'clock. I think
- 27:04Speaker 2: Luis Castillo, if he would have accepted a bullpen role,
- 27:08Speaker 2: would have been a more effective piece out of our
- 27:10Speaker 2: pen than what Dimingaz is going to be. But I
- 27:14Speaker 2: do believe that it clears up the starting rotation and
- 27:18Speaker 2: I think Dimingas as long as he's put in the
- 27:20Speaker 2: right role, can be effective for the team this year.
- 27:24Speaker 7: All right, good?
- 27:25Speaker 2: Yeah? And finally see is for zeus and that I mean,
- 27:29Speaker 2: if the Mariner starters are gods, then Luis Castillo was
- 27:32Speaker 2: their Zeus. He was the leader of the team. He
- 27:36Speaker 2: was the veteran that calmed them. But you know, somethings
- 27:39Speaker 2: as great as he was in that role, and he
- 27:41Speaker 2: was an outstanding teammate and they all loved him, and
- 27:45Speaker 2: he was the leader of that starting pitching rotation. They
- 27:49Speaker 2: don't need him anymore. Gilbert, Kirby, Wu and Miller are
- 27:53Speaker 2: not wet behind the ears rookies anymore. We didn't, they didn't.
- 27:57Speaker 2: They don't need his leadership anymore. They've gotten lesson and
- 28:01Speaker 2: they now can become leaders of their own. They now
- 28:04Speaker 2: can all take that next step forward. Kate Anderson is
- 28:09Speaker 2: better than Luis Castillo at this point, and so and
- 28:13Speaker 2: all five of those guys that are remaining are better
- 28:16Speaker 2: than Luis Castillo at this point. And I think Luis
- 28:19Speaker 2: Castillo can add something to the Chicago White Sox, and
- 28:23Speaker 2: you do miss something that he delivers to the Mariners
- 28:27Speaker 2: off the field, But I just don't think the group
- 28:29Speaker 2: needs it anymore. They're ready, they're ready to fly, and
- 28:32Speaker 2: they they're well beyond that moment. So yeah, we say
- 28:37Speaker 2: goodbye to the leader of our starting rotation. And yet
- 28:42Speaker 2: it was time to move on from him, and so
- 28:45Speaker 2: goodbye zeus. All right, Emmanuel Wilson's going to join us
- 28:48Speaker 2: next here at our set and rent in Sports Radio
- 28:51Speaker 2: ninety three point three KHRFM kjr FM's coverage of training
- 28:56Speaker 2: camp and it starts every day with Ashley and I
- 28:59Speaker 2: here on the radio program and joining us now at
- 29:03Speaker 2: our set.
- 29:03Speaker 3: One of the.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Newest Seahawks over from the Green Bay Packers free agents
- 29:07Speaker 2: signing in the off season, and in the midst of
- 29:10Speaker 2: one heck of a camp battle at the running back position.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson is with us here on the show. Good
- 29:16Speaker 2: morning to you, sir. I'm doing all right. Yeah, yeah,
- 29:21Speaker 2: you know. I had to bundle up a little bit today.
- 29:22Speaker 2: It was a little chillier than normal, so I got
- 29:25Speaker 2: cold hands. But you got a shock of your life
- 29:28Speaker 2: on shaking my hand, and I got a little skull
- 29:30Speaker 2: cap going on here today. See, you got a bundle
- 29:33Speaker 2: up for training camp. Do you ever think you would
- 29:35Speaker 2: ever see that in your life?
- 29:36Speaker 4: No, not at all.
- 29:39Speaker 2: You've probably been in some pretty warm training camps in
- 29:41Speaker 2: the past.
- 29:42Speaker 4: Yes, I have. But when they get like one a time,
- 29:45Speaker 4: it's crazy.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah Green Bay winners. You gonna
- 29:49Speaker 2: miss those.
- 29:50Speaker 4: No, not at all too much.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Snow what do you think of this facility though? Is
- 29:56Speaker 2: there anything like it?
- 29:57Speaker 4: None? It's like it's like right here about of water
- 29:59Speaker 4: to fans, go, I love it.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Yeah. How are you acclimating to your new teammates and
- 30:04Speaker 2: coaching style?
- 30:05Speaker 4: Wonderful? Everybody here is just like family. They brought me
- 30:09Speaker 4: in with open arms, so I love it.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Is it a little intimidating to join a world champion
- 30:14Speaker 2: or more exciting to join.
- 30:16Speaker 4: A world It's more exciting because you can see the
- 30:18Speaker 4: difference of from like they playing style and how they
- 30:21Speaker 4: operate here.
- 30:22Speaker 2: What is the difference what stands out most?
- 30:24Speaker 4: Yeah, the defense they rally to that ball and then
- 30:28Speaker 4: the offense. It's a lot, but it's gonna work.
- 30:31Speaker 2: It's gonna works, gonna work, all right. Talk about the
- 30:35Speaker 2: running back competition, how do you feel like it's going
- 30:38Speaker 2: for you personally?
- 30:39Speaker 4: For me personally, I feel like it's going well. Just
- 30:42Speaker 4: trying to establish my role it's on the offense and
- 30:44Speaker 4: just continue to compete and just learn from the guys.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Ideally, what is that role for Emmanuel Wilson?
- 30:50Speaker 4: Just being myself. Just go out there and be myself
- 30:52Speaker 4: every day and whatever my numbers call it, take advantage
- 30:54Speaker 4: of my opportunity.
- 30:55Speaker 2: All right. So, if you had to tell just some
- 30:57Speaker 2: random Seahawk fan that's listening out there, what it is
- 31:00Speaker 2: that you're gonna bring to the table.
- 31:01Speaker 4: What is it? Honestly, I can't even say right now
- 31:07Speaker 4: because I'm still trying to establish my playing style here.
- 31:13Speaker 4: But I know like I'm a bruising back and I
- 31:15Speaker 4: got speed. A lot of people don't think I got speed,
- 31:17Speaker 4: but I do.
- 31:18Speaker 3: You do?
- 31:18Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 31:19Speaker 3: You do?
- 31:19Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I'm not gonna race you. I'll tell you
- 31:23Speaker 2: that much. Right now, Emmanuel Wilson is with us a
- 31:26Speaker 2: free agent running back this offseason, over from the Green
- 31:29Speaker 2: Bay Packers and part of his first ever Seahawks training camp.
- 31:33Speaker 2: So give me a little scouting report on some of
- 31:35Speaker 2: your positional competition. What's your read on the rookie Jadarian
- 31:39Speaker 2: Price thus far.
- 31:40Speaker 4: Man, he's different, he got some great feet. He not
- 31:43Speaker 4: to read like the blocks great, he got great hands,
- 31:47Speaker 4: ain't got great routes. He's different.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Yeah, what about George Hallane, Hey.
- 31:52Speaker 4: George, he's smart, he knows the playbook like the back
- 31:55Speaker 4: of his hand. He got great feet, he got great routes.
- 31:57Speaker 4: He ain't got great hands as well.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Give me another guy that running back room that maybe
- 32:01Speaker 2: a lot of people don't even know about.
- 32:05Speaker 4: Jaccardier right. Uh, he got a lot of speed on
- 32:07Speaker 4: him as well. Uh, he made great reads and he's
- 32:10Speaker 4: a great pass blocker. And Veayless Jones he fast as
- 32:14Speaker 4: a mug. So uh, when he signs the corner, he gone.
- 32:18Speaker 2: He's gone. Uh tell me about how Brian Fleurry. Give
- 32:23Speaker 2: us a little because this offense is new to us,
- 32:26Speaker 2: so you know, maybe give us a little you know,
- 32:28Speaker 2: detail or two behind the scenes, a little inside information.
- 32:31Speaker 2: What's it like.
- 32:32Speaker 4: It's just very detailed. I know, the running bass got
- 32:35Speaker 4: a lot of routes, uh, and I'm trying to learn
- 32:37Speaker 4: all of them.
- 32:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:39Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's a very detailed offense.
- 32:41Speaker 2: All right. So a lot of routes for the running backs.
- 32:43Speaker 2: More than you're used.
- 32:44Speaker 4: To, Yes, more, very much more.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so a few pass catches from Manuel. See,
- 32:51Speaker 2: now you gave us something right there. Now that's some
- 32:53Speaker 2: that's some stuff that you gave us. How much How
- 32:55Speaker 2: difficult has it been with the hard knocks thing around
- 32:58Speaker 2: or have you? Have you enjoyed it? I mean, because
- 33:01Speaker 2: you probably got to keep secrets from those fools at
- 33:03Speaker 2: HBO too.
- 33:05Speaker 4: I mean, I don't have no problem with it. They're
- 33:08Speaker 4: not really out in my face song.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, they're not going to your house. Sometimes
- 33:13Speaker 2: they just randomly choose people and they go to their
- 33:15Speaker 2: house and get to know their family and see what's
- 33:17Speaker 2: in their cupboards and everything else.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't have a house or apartment out
- 33:20Speaker 4: here just yet.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Okay, all right, you'll get it. You're gonna get all right.
- 33:28Speaker 2: So it hasn't been a distraction, then, is it. Have
- 33:31Speaker 2: you noticed anybody that seems to like the cameras a
- 33:33Speaker 2: little too much?
- 33:34Speaker 4: Uh no, not not really. Okay, well they get distract
- 33:38Speaker 4: nobody on the team.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Are you looking forward to watching it? Will you watch
- 33:40Speaker 2: it tomorrow night?
- 33:41Speaker 4: For sure?
- 33:42Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, see see what they say about you. Do
- 33:47Speaker 2: you think it's gonna cause like any stir in the
- 33:49Speaker 2: locker room?
- 33:50Speaker 4: No? No, no, no no, it's just it's football.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Just out here playing football. What you've done your entire life?
- 33:57Speaker 4: Sir?
- 33:57Speaker 2: All right, well, but you still got a lot of
- 34:01Speaker 2: camp to go. So what is the Manuel Wilson going
- 34:04Speaker 2: to do out there that's going to catch people's attention?
- 34:08Speaker 4: Just continue to stay state of course, continue to be
- 34:10Speaker 4: myself and and show them that I really am. Well
- 34:13Speaker 4: I say I am.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Okay, well man, thank you very much for joining us.
- 34:17Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Great to have you on. Have a
- 34:20Speaker 2: great camp. Can't wait to see what you do in
- 34:22Speaker 2: that seahawk uniform. Look good in it.
- 34:24Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 34:24Speaker 2: I appreciate you like it a lot better than green
- 34:26Speaker 2: and yellow.
- 34:27Speaker 4: Yeah I do, Yeah, I do.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Thanks man. Appreciate you Manuel Wilson joining us right here
- 34:34Speaker 2: on our set in that running back competition here with
- 34:38Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks and giving us a little bit of
- 34:41Speaker 2: insight there on Brian Fleury. We'd already heard some of that,
- 34:45Speaker 2: like some of the different pass routes for the running
- 34:47Speaker 2: backs that they're experiencing and learning here, and now we
- 34:52Speaker 2: get it right from the running backs, and there are
- 34:55Speaker 2: a lot of them that have been introduced more so
- 34:57Speaker 2: than he is used to from his past with the
- 35:00Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. So I'm getting to know a little
- 35:02Speaker 2: bit brand new running back Emmanuel Wilson here with the
- 35:07Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. And we do have a camp battle a
- 35:10Speaker 2: little bit later on to discuss, and yeah, there are
- 35:14Speaker 2: some other camp battles going on, but I think the
- 35:17Speaker 2: primary one is that running back position, and so probably
- 35:22Speaker 2: are going to bring it up again today when we
- 35:24Speaker 2: do our camp battle segment today at eight forty five.
- 35:27Speaker 2: But it is Major League Baseball trade deadline day and
- 35:31Speaker 2: coming up next on the program in case you are
- 35:34Speaker 2: now just joining us, more on the Castillo trade, the
- 35:38Speaker 2: decision to trade Castillo, and then what's the plan today
- 35:42Speaker 2: before the deadline. I mean, these are some murky waters
- 35:46Speaker 2: right now from the Mariners. I'm not sure what they're thinking,
- 35:49Speaker 2: I don't know how aggressive they're going to be, and
- 35:52Speaker 2: I don't know if they're even thinking about doing that
- 35:54Speaker 2: one foot selling, one foot buying kind of maneuver that
- 35:58Speaker 2: they have done in the past. We'll discuss it all
- 36:01Speaker 2: coming up next here on Sports Radio ninety three point
