- 0:57Speaker 2: Hey, good morning to you. Welcome in.
- 0:58Speaker 4: It is a Friday. Hey, hey, it's Friday. Everybody, Ashley,
- 1:02Speaker 4: It's Friday.
- 1:03Speaker 1: It's real exciting about that? Is that that yesterday was Friday?
- 1:06Speaker 5: Oh like yesterday afternoon it felt like a Friday.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Oh, Wednesday felt like a Thursday to me.
- 1:11Speaker 5: So I was like, oh, really, in my backyard last
- 1:15Speaker 5: night having a glass of.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Pino gregio, and you were actively thinking that you didn't
- 1:19Speaker 4: have to go to.
- 1:20Speaker 5: Work, just like I don't think it was active, it
- 1:23Speaker 5: was just a subconscious thing. And then I was like,
- 1:25Speaker 5: you had to keep yourself Thursday, and I was like, oh,
- 1:31Speaker 5: it's Thursday.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Why did it feel like Friday?
- 1:34Speaker 6: Wow?
- 1:34Speaker 5: I think it was because I didn't have an app
- 1:36Speaker 5: yesterday and I usually only don't have a nap on Fridays.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it was like just a long day.
- 1:40Speaker 5: I was like, and then I'm sitting out having a
- 1:43Speaker 5: lovely glass of Pino Gregio in the sunshine.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you?
- 1:46Speaker 5: So I thought, yeah, this is what I do on
- 1:48Speaker 5: a Friday night.
- 1:48Speaker 1: This makes sense.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Wow, And yes, you had to keep reminding yourself like
- 1:53Speaker 4: it was a downer, like it repeated down.
- 1:55Speaker 5: It was a little bit okay, But then I thought,
- 1:57Speaker 5: you know what, I get to come into work and
- 1:59Speaker 5: your smile today.
- 2:01Speaker 4: So yeah, we get to do sports talk radio for
- 2:04Speaker 4: badness sake one more time this week before we hit
- 2:07Speaker 4: the weekend.
- 2:08Speaker 2: So it's great to have everybody in here today.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Hopefully you didn't forget that you had one more day
- 2:14Speaker 4: of work because you might be late, yes at this stage.
- 2:18Speaker 4: So yes, it is a Friday. Happy Friday to everyone
- 2:23Speaker 4: out there. I also had a crap nap yesterday, though,
- 2:25Speaker 4: oh not a crap nap. I had a crap nap yesterday,
- 2:27Speaker 4: and I don't know what's going on. I mean, maybe
- 2:30Speaker 4: it's because kids are out of school and maybe they're
- 2:33Speaker 4: visiting parents or grandparents or something like that. But suddenly
- 2:38Speaker 4: the afternoons, where I usually sleep in peace and quiet
- 2:42Speaker 4: because everybody's gone from their homes, are filled with chatter
- 2:46Speaker 4: and children. And I kind of liked the sound of
- 2:50Speaker 4: children playing. I think it's yeah, I think I kind
- 2:53Speaker 4: of liked that. But not when you're trying to sleep.
- 2:56Speaker 4: All you want to do is tell those brats to
- 2:57Speaker 4: get the hell out of town and never come back.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Yeah, Palmer has to be silent. Palmer the Great cannot
- 3:02Speaker 5: talk when I'm on when I'm taking a nap. You
- 3:04Speaker 5: know what you need to get? White white noise, white noise.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, blocks it all out and you can sleep
- 3:09Speaker 1: like a baby.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Well I suppose, I suppose. But then you got to
- 3:13Speaker 4: close the windows. And I don't like closing the windows
- 3:16Speaker 4: because I like a breeze.
- 3:17Speaker 5: Oh see, if you have the windows up and then
- 3:18Speaker 5: there's no home, yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 3:20Speaker 4: But I don't want to close the windows and not
- 3:22Speaker 4: have the breeze. That's the best part about the nap.
- 3:26Speaker 4: So you know, I am the founder of Breeze club.
- 3:28Speaker 1: That's true. Let's not forget that I have not.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well, we've got a lot to discuss
- 3:33Speaker 4: here on today's program. We got you for the next
- 3:35Speaker 4: four hours, will take you all the way through ten o'clock,
- 3:39Speaker 4: and we are going to certainly talk about this baseball
- 3:42Speaker 4: team that has aggravated us again for the first half
- 3:45Speaker 4: of another baseball season. Today at forty seven and forty seven,
- 3:49Speaker 4: so we're ninety four games into this thing and.
- 3:53Speaker 2: The height of mediocrity, and just.
- 3:56Speaker 4: When you think they're gonna go get going, then they
- 3:59Speaker 4: go out out and play I'm not I'm not sure.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I think it's prisoner of the moment to say that
- 4:04Speaker 4: was our worst series of the year.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Probably was not.
- 4:06Speaker 1: It wasn't great.
- 4:07Speaker 4: It was not it wasn't good, wasn't even average, swept
- 4:11Speaker 4: by the Miami Marlins, fall out of first place. Uh,
- 4:14Speaker 4: And now you're sitting here looking at the All Star Break,
- 4:17Speaker 4: trying to get through the next three days. And that's
- 4:20Speaker 4: the weird thing about baseball, though. I think they did
- 4:22Speaker 4: this just a year ago where they played one of
- 4:24Speaker 4: their worst series and we were sure they were going
- 4:26Speaker 4: to cripple into the into the All Star Break and
- 4:30Speaker 4: then I think that they like swept the last series.
- 4:32Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to look that up, but I think
- 4:34Speaker 4: I heard that, Okay, swept the last series and then
- 4:37Speaker 4: actually did carry momentum. Look like all of our momentum
- 4:40Speaker 4: was stripped from us, So maybe we can do that
- 4:42Speaker 4: against Tampa in Tampa. And there by the way, there's
- 4:46Speaker 4: no consistency to it. So if your reaction to that
- 4:49Speaker 4: statement is, oh, no, not that way, they played well,
- 4:52Speaker 4: they they turn on a dime constantly. They go from
- 4:56Speaker 4: oh my gosh, I don't think they could play worse
- 4:59Speaker 4: to the very next day they play their best.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and then just when you think that.
- 5:03Speaker 4: They're going then they act like that's the first time
- 5:07Speaker 4: they've ever been on a field together, which kind of
- 5:10Speaker 4: is the way I felt yesterday. I mean, that was
- 5:12Speaker 4: just a sloppy ass performance on top of everything else
- 5:17Speaker 4: that they struggled with, from Bryce Miller struggling to zero
- 5:21Speaker 4: for seven with runners in scoring position, and then on
- 5:24Speaker 4: top of it all, just sloppy defense again from this
- 5:27Speaker 4: baseball team. So yeah, as bad as it is, there's
- 5:32Speaker 4: no evidence that suggests that this team won't play well
- 5:37Speaker 4: tonight in Tampa and won't play well this weekend, because
- 5:40Speaker 4: that's the way they behave in the first half of
- 5:42Speaker 4: every baseball season.
- 5:43Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't take what happened in one game and
- 5:45Speaker 5: think it's going to be the same or like there's
- 5:48Speaker 5: just no rhyme or reason to what you're seeing from
- 5:50Speaker 5: one day to the next. I was thinking about just
- 5:52Speaker 5: this Miami series, and you think about the first game
- 5:56Speaker 5: and how we so we were proud of the offense
- 5:59Speaker 5: for having the fight to come back and take the lead,
- 6:02Speaker 5: and oh, that was such a positive thing. And then
- 6:04Speaker 5: you go into the game two days ago and there's
- 6:07Speaker 5: no offense and the defense were commending the defense on
- 6:11Speaker 5: two excellent plays. And then you go into the third
- 6:14Speaker 5: game and the offense is mediocre and the defense is
- 6:19Speaker 5: pooping their pants. So literally, within one series, it couldn't
- 6:23Speaker 5: have been more.
- 6:25Speaker 4: You figured out ways to lose. Yeah, I mean, you
- 6:27Speaker 4: invented way a different way to lose every game. Yeah,
- 6:30Speaker 4: and yesterday was all bad at all three things.
- 6:32Speaker 5: So at least thank you for not keep for not
- 6:35Speaker 5: letting it be boring and losing the same way every time.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:38Speaker 4: I mean, yes, you did score four runs yesterday, but
- 6:41Speaker 4: zero for seven with the runners in scoring position pitching
- 6:44Speaker 4: was bad yep, and the defense was terrible yep.
- 6:50Speaker 2: So I mean it did.
- 6:52Speaker 4: It was a crap game, and it was a crap series,
- 6:55Speaker 4: and we have a crap record considering what our expectations
- 6:59Speaker 4: were head into this year. And yet it's the same
- 7:03Speaker 4: thing every year, and there's no reason that they can't
- 7:08Speaker 4: in the second half. I mean, I still have the
- 7:11Speaker 4: same expectations.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Huh, I do.
- 7:14Speaker 4: So I know that everybody. I was thinking about this
- 7:17Speaker 4: on the drive in. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna
- 7:21Speaker 4: put crack voice chuck to the side. You know when
- 7:24Speaker 4: my voice cracks. Yeah, not that I sound like I'm
- 7:26Speaker 4: on crack. Well, no, not usually, but I'm not. I'm
- 7:31Speaker 4: he's not gonna show up today. We're gonna do. We're
- 7:33Speaker 4: gonna do very practical, reasonable, but let's diagnose the issues
- 7:39Speaker 4: and let's let's come.
- 7:41Speaker 6: To a a really good feeling of exactly what has
- 7:46Speaker 6: happened through ninety four games and where we sit and
- 7:50Speaker 6: how we're going to get back to what we're doing.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Uh So I'm gonna I'm gonna shock everyone because I
- 7:57Speaker 4: know everybody's gonna be frustrated. So here's how I'm going
- 7:59Speaker 4: to start Today's Mariners Reasonable Mariners conversation. Okay, ready, yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 4: everybody braced, Everybody sat down, stretch. Yeah, you may not
- 8:09Speaker 4: be wanting to hold the baby right now because you
- 8:11Speaker 4: might drop whatever is in your arms.
- 8:13Speaker 2: You might want to may.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Even want to pull over to the side of the road.
- 8:17Speaker 4: I'm not sure that you can drive and listen to
- 8:19Speaker 4: this at the exact same time.
- 8:20Speaker 1: That's a good thing. I'm sitting down here.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Tell tell your wife, Hey, we can't talk about, you know,
- 8:26Speaker 4: financial issues right now because I'm going to be half
- 8:28Speaker 4: focused on what Chuck's saying.
- 8:30Speaker 2: And I want to give you my full attention.
- 8:31Speaker 5: But also, if your wife wants to talk to you
- 8:33Speaker 5: about finances at six am, you might need to have
- 8:35Speaker 5: a different talk.
- 8:38Speaker 2: So here you go.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Since everybody has been prepared, and I warned you, the
- 8:44Speaker 4: Seattle Mariners are going to win the World Series. How
- 8:50Speaker 4: about that for a Friday What about that for a
- 8:52Speaker 4: Friday statement?
- 8:53Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, There you go.
- 8:55Speaker 4: I wish everybody's sitting there angry and pissed off and
- 8:58Speaker 4: everything else.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Yet Mariners are going to win the World Series this year.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I wish that could have that confidence. I know you
- 9:06Speaker 1: don't I'd be like.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, you don't.
- 9:09Speaker 4: I just had a text and back and forth with
- 9:11Speaker 4: a buddy last night and he couldn't be more. I
- 9:14Speaker 4: told him we're gonna we're gonna win the World Series,
- 9:16Speaker 4: and he couldn't have disagreed more.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I just don't.
- 9:20Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like it right now. That's what I'm saying.
- 9:22Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying it today.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm marking this.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Yeah. Like I said, I'm used to this, this garbage.
- 9:30Speaker 4: Every first half of every season they do the exact
- 9:33Speaker 4: same thing, and every season in the Depoto era, they
- 9:36Speaker 4: pick it up in the second half. And this year
- 9:38Speaker 4: in particular, if you pick it up in the second half,
- 9:41Speaker 4: then you're gonna breeze to a division title because there's
- 9:44Speaker 4: not great competition. It's not even really good competition this
- 9:48Speaker 4: year in the American League West, I think a lot
- 9:50Speaker 4: of those other teams in the American League are going
- 9:52Speaker 4: to get better in the second half.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Everybody's that's killing the American League.
- 9:55Speaker 4: I think the Blue Jays are going to get better
- 9:56Speaker 4: in the second half, and I think the Tigers are
- 9:59Speaker 4: on a roll. In the Red Sox are starting to
- 10:01Speaker 4: play like we thought they were going to play at
- 10:02Speaker 4: the beginning of the year. I think some things are
- 10:04Speaker 4: going to course correct in the second half of the
- 10:06Speaker 4: season in the American League and it's not going to look.
- 10:09Speaker 2: All that bad in the AL.
- 10:11Speaker 4: But in the American League West, the Astros are certainly
- 10:15Speaker 4: not as good as what they were a year ago,
- 10:18Speaker 4: and certainly not what they were as good as they
- 10:20Speaker 4: were two years ago. And the Rangers aren't that good,
- 10:24Speaker 4: and the A's are obviously showing we're not quite ready
- 10:27Speaker 4: to challenge.
- 10:28Speaker 2: So I mean, this is the year.
- 10:30Speaker 4: If you do what you typically do, you're going to
- 10:33Speaker 4: pull away from the American League West certainly. And all
- 10:37Speaker 4: it takes is to get into the playoffs. We talk
- 10:40Speaker 4: about this all the time. You just got to get
- 10:42Speaker 4: into the dance. I mean, nobody fricking remembers that the
- 10:45Speaker 4: Minnesota Twins when they won the nineteen eighty seven World
- 10:49Speaker 4: Series had barely a five hundred record. I mean, Twins
- 10:54Speaker 4: fans don't sit there at the when they gather together. Yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 4: but yeah, we won in eighty five, and we won
- 11:00Speaker 4: an eighty seven. Yeah, but you know, we can't really
- 11:02Speaker 4: count eighty seven. We weren't that good. Yeah, yeah, nobody
- 11:06Speaker 4: does that. No, all you got to do is get
- 11:07Speaker 4: into the dance. Starting pitching is the real deal. I
- 11:13Speaker 4: mapped it out earlier this week. This bullpen might end
- 11:16Speaker 4: up being one of the best bullpens ever assembled in
- 11:18Speaker 4: postseason history. Once you consider two of these starting pitchers
- 11:22Speaker 4: are going to go to the pen. Kate Anderson's going
- 11:24Speaker 4: to be a part of the roster. Ryan Sloan could
- 11:28Speaker 4: possibly be part of the roster. They're probably going to
- 11:30Speaker 4: add a piece of the trading deadline. Matt Brash is
- 11:33Speaker 4: going to be back at some point. I mean you
- 11:36Speaker 4: start putting that together like okay, and then this lineup,
- 11:40Speaker 4: which couldn't have performed worse. I mean, Cal couldn't be worse.
- 11:47Speaker 4: Julio once again a bad first half, and I think
- 11:50Speaker 4: he ended up having a bad first half again. Yeah,
- 11:54Speaker 4: JP's bad. Brendan Donovan's out. I don't know when he's
- 11:58Speaker 4: going to be back. But we also a deadline move
- 12:00Speaker 4: coming up. This thing could fill up. This lineup could
- 12:04Speaker 4: fill out pretty nicely when it really does matter.
- 12:08Speaker 2: So nothing's been lost.
- 12:11Speaker 4: The team couldn't have played worse through ninety four games,
- 12:15Speaker 4: and yet they're a half game out. Of first place.
- 12:19Speaker 4: So yeah, none of my expectations for this team have changed.
- 12:24Speaker 4: And I wasn't predicting a World championship at the beginning
- 12:28Speaker 4: of the year. I had to say something to get
- 12:30Speaker 4: your attention. But I was predicting an American League championship
- 12:34Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year, and I just don't
- 12:37Speaker 4: really see the goliath in this league that would make
- 12:42Speaker 4: me change my mind. I still think we have the
- 12:45Speaker 4: best roster in the American League, and I think it's
- 12:48Speaker 4: going to be added to before the trading deadline. And
- 12:50Speaker 4: I think we've got guys like Emerson Hancock and Cole
- 12:53Speaker 4: Young and dom Canzone who are better than what I
- 12:56Speaker 4: realized when the season began. So yeah, yeah, let's win
- 13:01Speaker 4: the World Series. There you go, there's an opener. There's
- 13:05Speaker 4: an eye opener on your I hate this team, Friday.
- 13:09Speaker 2: I still think they're going to.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Go to the World Series, and once you get there,
- 13:13Speaker 4: the Dodgers and there pitching they can't match up to
- 13:16Speaker 4: that pitching that I just mapped out for you. Yeah,
- 13:19Speaker 4: they got thirty eight people that are injured and they'll
- 13:22Speaker 4: have ten more by the time they get to the playoffs.
- 13:24Speaker 1: That's just the way they do it. That's the way
- 13:26Speaker 1: the Dodgers do it with their arms.
- 13:28Speaker 4: So nothing's going to change about my And it's not
- 13:33Speaker 4: even optimism, it's my analysis of this roster. And I
- 13:38Speaker 4: do believe that it has been mismanaged this season so far.
- 13:43Speaker 4: I do believe that they have grossly underachieved. And I'd
- 13:47Speaker 4: like to start pointing some fingers here today. I already have,
- 13:51Speaker 4: but I like to bring that to a head here
- 13:55Speaker 4: today as well. But I'm just used to these garbage
- 13:59Speaker 4: first half from this team that is currently constructed, and
- 14:05Speaker 4: I'm just expecting now that they're going to have a
- 14:09Speaker 4: good summer, maybe not a great one, but a good
- 14:11Speaker 4: summer and then a great fall.
- 14:14Speaker 2: That's how I feel it's gonna make. It's it's all
- 14:16Speaker 2: gonna play out.
- 14:16Speaker 4: And I know they don't look like it right now,
- 14:19Speaker 4: and I know that they look lost, and I know
- 14:21Speaker 4: we got to make our little league jokes on Twitter
- 14:24Speaker 4: and everything else, But this is the same team that
- 14:29Speaker 4: nearly went to the World Series a year ago. And
- 14:32Speaker 4: there's no way that about five of your best players
- 14:35Speaker 4: could play as poorly as they did in the first
- 14:37Speaker 4: half this season.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Oh, I sure hope, I sure hope.
- 14:40Speaker 4: Not.
- 14:40Speaker 5: I mean, here's the thing is, I've talked about how
- 14:44Speaker 5: I feel like maybe this is the most frustrated I've
- 14:47Speaker 5: been with this team.
- 14:48Speaker 2: It's not.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we were saying.
- 14:50Speaker 2: We were far more frustrated last year.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's it. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
- 14:54Speaker 5: I think it's just because in the moment, every year
- 14:56Speaker 5: this happens and I think this has to be the
- 14:58Speaker 5: most frustrated I've ever and then they make me forget
- 15:02Speaker 5: about it. It's like when you go through a trauma,
- 15:05Speaker 5: your body doesn't let you remember the pain that you
- 15:07Speaker 5: were in right, and you block it out and you
- 15:10Speaker 5: think you're fine. Or when you have when you have
- 15:12Speaker 5: a baby, you think you don't remember how much how
- 15:16Speaker 5: horrible the labor experience was, and your body doesn't let
- 15:19Speaker 5: you remember, so then you think, oh, I should have
- 15:21Speaker 5: another baby. I never thought that, but some people do,
- 15:24Speaker 5: and you just you go through the whole thing again.
- 15:26Speaker 5: And I think I do that with the Mariners every year.
- 15:29Speaker 5: I give the most optimistic when it comes when we're
- 15:31Speaker 5: heading into the season, like here we go, I'm so excited,
- 15:35Speaker 5: and then I'm so frustrated. By the end of June yeah,
- 15:39Speaker 5: and then I'm then I just stress out for about
- 15:43Speaker 5: two months and then you know, because the Mariners take
- 15:46Speaker 5: you on the same ride every year, But somehow I
- 15:49Speaker 5: don't allow myself to remember what the year before was like.
- 15:52Speaker 4: Far more despondent, and this might be the least despondent
- 15:55Speaker 4: we've been in six years. I'm here to remind you. Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 4: I mean, because there's no deficit to overcome like in
- 16:02Speaker 4: the past. They'd played poorly and underachieved and had a
- 16:04Speaker 4: bad record, and we're five games under five hundred and
- 16:07Speaker 4: eight games out of first place, in six games.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Out of the wild card.
- 16:09Speaker 5: Right.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Hey, that's that's been our last five Junes or July yea,
- 16:16Speaker 4: heading into julys That's that's been the state of Mariner baseball. So,
- 16:22Speaker 4: I mean, it's funny to me how angry people are
- 16:26Speaker 4: that the American League is down? Yeah, why why would
- 16:30Speaker 4: you be angry about that? Like, there's nothing to overcome.
- 16:34Speaker 4: So they have played as poorly as you can and
- 16:37Speaker 4: haven't really dug a hole for themselves. They haven't dug
- 16:41Speaker 4: a hole. There's no hole to dig out of. They're
- 16:43Speaker 4: a half game back at the Texas Rangers. There's no
- 16:46Speaker 4: hole to dig out of, despite atrocious baseball at times
- 16:50Speaker 4: in the first half of the season.
- 16:52Speaker 5: But I wonder if that's why the frust Maybe it's
- 16:54Speaker 5: a different frustration because it does feel like, oh, we
- 16:57Speaker 5: have a prime opportunity to be running away with this thing.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, that's one way to look at it. But
- 17:03Speaker 4: you could also say we couldn't play worse and we
- 17:04Speaker 4: don't have a dold.
- 17:05Speaker 1: To dig out, right, and that would be a more
- 17:06Speaker 1: positive way to look at it.
- 17:07Speaker 5: But I'm wondering if the other way is why people
- 17:10Speaker 5: are mad, like, oh, the American League is so bad,
- 17:12Speaker 5: this is our chance to just be crushing it and
- 17:14Speaker 5: we're not taking advantage of it. And that isn't added frustration,
- 17:16Speaker 5: I will say, because I don't know that the last
- 17:19Speaker 5: time in the first half of the season we've been
- 17:21Speaker 5: in this situation because as you said, yeah, usually we've got.
- 17:24Speaker 1: A hold of dig out of.
- 17:25Speaker 5: So now here we are saying, yeah, we couldn't be
- 17:27Speaker 5: playing worse and we're at five hundred. Those are all
- 17:31Speaker 5: positive things, no hold to dig out of. But man,
- 17:33Speaker 5: if we could have just played a little better.
- 17:35Speaker 4: Yeah, And this is not me saying you're wrong about
- 17:38Speaker 4: what you're watching, I'm as frustrated as.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Any of you.
- 17:42Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean because when you do as a
- 17:47Speaker 4: my job is to have an opinion about sports, and
- 17:50Speaker 4: you want to be right. And then you say this
- 17:53Speaker 4: team's going to be good. You tell the audience. I've
- 17:55Speaker 4: got this platform, I've got this stage, I've got this microphone,
- 17:59Speaker 4: I'm on YouTube, and I'm throwing it out there. I'm
- 18:01Speaker 4: telling you you can count on this team being good
- 18:05Speaker 4: this year and then every year. I mean, in the
- 18:08Speaker 4: last five years, I've had two different occasions where I
- 18:10Speaker 4: gave up on the team. Yeah you know this, Yeah,
- 18:13Speaker 4: I remember, and then all of a sudden, the very
- 18:16Speaker 4: next day they turn it around and won like eleven
- 18:18Speaker 4: in a row.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Maybe that's what you mean, and maybe.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Maybe, But the point is that every year for the
- 18:26Speaker 4: last five years, there's been a point where it's looked
- 18:29Speaker 4: over in June and July.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Yeah, and yet and I.
- 18:35Speaker 4: Know they didn't overcome it every single year in that stretch,
- 18:38Speaker 4: but they stayed in the race till the last week
- 18:42Speaker 4: of the regular season every single year. And this is
- 18:46Speaker 4: their best team on paper that they've assembled.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Yet, now do.
- 18:51Speaker 4: They have a manager maximizing that talent absolutely not, and
- 18:55Speaker 4: that's part of the finger pointing we're going to do
- 18:57Speaker 4: later on in the show. But I don't don't have
- 19:00Speaker 4: time to get into it now. But certainly that's something
- 19:04Speaker 4: that has to be assessed now and throughout the All
- 19:08Speaker 4: Star break. Okay, I mean that's that's job one. Why
- 19:11Speaker 4: are we underachieving this year? What's standing in our way?
- 19:15Speaker 4: What is the reason? And certainly the manager has to
- 19:20Speaker 4: be scrutinized. I'm not saying he's got to go, but
- 19:22Speaker 4: he's got to be scrutinized. Just like Rob Thompson, who
- 19:25Speaker 4: had nothing but success in Philadelphia, got scrutinized this year
- 19:29Speaker 4: because he was underachieving with a roster the general manager
- 19:32Speaker 4: thought should challenge for a World Series, so they popped
- 19:35Speaker 4: his ass. And then the next thing, you know, new manager,
- 19:39Speaker 4: new voice, they took off, and now they're one of
- 19:41Speaker 4: the best teams in the National League, just like they were.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Supposed to be.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Yeah, and that can happen.
- 19:46Speaker 4: Oh, it absolutely can happen, and it has to be considered. Yeah,
- 19:50Speaker 4: has to be considered. But we'll get into that later
- 19:52Speaker 4: on in the show. Let's find out what's on tap
- 19:54Speaker 4: for the rest of the program.
- 19:57Speaker 3: What's on TEP What's brought to you by Emerald Queen

- 20:18Speaker 4: Mariners fall out of first place again at forty seven
- 20:22Speaker 4: and forty seven.
- 20:23Speaker 2: And now they face a good team.
- 20:25Speaker 4: They'll be in Tampa starting tonight at four to ten.
- 20:29Speaker 4: Luis Castillo will pitch for US. Right hander Nick Martinez
- 20:33Speaker 4: will pitch for the Tampa.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I love that I don't.
- 20:35Speaker 4: Even have to give like stats or anything else. All
- 20:38Speaker 4: I have to do in a pitching matchup is say
- 20:40Speaker 4: whether he's right handed or left hand?
- 20:41Speaker 6: Right?
- 20:42Speaker 2: And if it's right hand, it's like.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Oh good, yep, oh we've got a chance.
- 20:47Speaker 4: The All Star Break, of course, will follow the Tampa series,
- 20:52Speaker 4: and there's all sorts of activities planned. Ryan Dempster is
- 20:56Speaker 4: going to join us today from MLB Network to talk
- 20:58Speaker 4: about some of these activities at nine o'clock. We got
- 21:02Speaker 4: the draft tomorrow starts at ten o'clock on Sunday. You've
- 21:05Speaker 4: got the Futures game. It's going to feature Kate Anderson
- 21:07Speaker 4: and Ryan Sloan. You got the home run Derby on Monday,
- 21:10Speaker 4: which is on Netflix this year, by the way, weird, Yes, exactly,
- 21:15Speaker 4: very weird. So just prepare yourself. It's not going to
- 21:19Speaker 4: be on normal television, so you better have that service.
- 21:23Speaker 4: Otherwise you got to head to the bar. That's what
- 21:25Speaker 4: I'm gonna do. And then the game will be on Tuesday.
- 21:27Speaker 2: The World Cup.
- 21:28Speaker 4: France won over Morocco to nil yesterday. Brad Evans will
- 21:32Speaker 4: join us for a second time this week. We have
- 21:34Speaker 4: to talk to him. We haven't talked about the US
- 21:35Speaker 4: being eliminated, and certainly now that we're down to what
- 21:40Speaker 4: seven teams left in the world that might win the
- 21:43Speaker 4: World Cup, we got to get his thoughts on that front.
- 21:45Speaker 4: Spain Belgium today at noon and then tomorrow you'll have
- 21:49Speaker 4: your doubleheader.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Do they call it a double.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Header and soccer probably not sure they should.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Norway, England, Argentina Switzerland will play on Saturday. Wimbledon finals
- 21:58Speaker 4: will be on Saturday and Sunday. The women's side, which
- 22:01Speaker 4: is set will be Saturday at eight am, the men's
- 22:04Speaker 4: side Sunday at eight am the storm fell to the
- 22:07Speaker 4: Dream eighty nine to seventy eight. Yesterday, the Kawhi Leonard
- 22:11Speaker 4: trade to Toronto has been put on hold, and for
- 22:14Speaker 4: very good reasons. That's an interesting enough topic that we're
- 22:17Speaker 4: going to discuss that later on in the show. And
- 22:19Speaker 4: it looks like the Seahawks ownership bidding is down to two.
- 22:24Speaker 4: I guess this is a big story, but we'll save that.
- 22:29Speaker 4: It's coming up. We'll talk about a little bit. I
- 22:31Speaker 4: know it's a big story. It's a big story, but
- 22:34Speaker 4: how do we assess whether or not an owner is
- 22:36Speaker 4: going to be good?
- 22:37Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that a little later on in
- 22:39Speaker 2: the show.
- 22:39Speaker 4: But coming up next Mariner's Morning After, we'll get into
- 22:42Speaker 4: all those grimy details of yesterday's eight four loss to
- 22:46Speaker 4: the Miami Marlins right here on Sports Radio ninety three
- 22:48Speaker 4: point three KJRFM.
- 22:50Speaker 2: I want to go out and to like have the
- 22:51Speaker 2: great weather. I gotta go did some patio dining last night.
- 22:54Speaker 4: Yeah instead, I you know, I gotta sit inside and
- 22:57Speaker 4: watch the baseball game at three.
- 22:58Speaker 5: Forty I know, because you DVR it and watch it
- 23:01Speaker 5: later like you haven't seen it because.
- 23:05Speaker 1: It Yeah, yeah, you'll be mad. You DVR it and
- 23:07Speaker 1: had to watch that crap later.
- 23:09Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, so, so yeah, it kind of I was
- 23:13Speaker 4: imprisoned by a bad baseball game last night and it
- 23:17Speaker 4: felt I felt wronged. Yeah, yeah, violated even Yeah.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Well it's time for Mariners morning after. Let's recap this sucker.
- 23:26Speaker 4: The Marlin's looking for a sweep last night against the Mariners,
- 23:30Speaker 4: and damn if they didn't get it. The Mariners actually
- 23:33Speaker 4: got off to the lead one to nothing in this contest,
- 23:38Speaker 4: and with Bryce Miller on the mound, you thought that
- 23:40Speaker 4: might hold up.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Yep, that's how good he's been.
- 23:43Speaker 4: Well, Bryce was probably due a bit of a stinker,
- 23:45Speaker 4: and we got that from him last night, and he
- 23:49Speaker 4: wasn't helped at all by his defense. Already trailing two
- 23:52Speaker 4: to one, Miller's out there just trying to fight and
- 23:56Speaker 4: battle through innings, keep him off the scoreboard, even though
- 23:59Speaker 4: he couldn't keep the Marlins off the base paths. And
- 24:02Speaker 4: then the bottom of the fourth strikes You got a
- 24:05Speaker 4: one out walk to Marcy, then you've got a single
- 24:08Speaker 4: from him.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Inez puts two on base.
- 24:11Speaker 4: He got out of a out of an inning in
- 24:14Speaker 4: the third with a ground ball double play. You're like,
- 24:16Speaker 4: can you roll those bones again Forrest Bryce and he did,
- 24:22Speaker 4: unfortunately not the same defensive execution.
- 24:26Speaker 2: On the ground.
- 24:27Speaker 3: Nailor throws over to second Emerson on the first it's
- 24:31Speaker 3: low and Miller knocks it down, but Marcy sat.
- 24:39Speaker 2: The Marlins get a run out of it. It's three
- 24:41Speaker 2: to one. Oh yeah, ugly play.
- 24:45Speaker 4: And then turns out Emerson didn't even have his foot
- 24:48Speaker 4: on second and so you didn't get anything out of
- 24:52Speaker 4: that ground ball double play, didn't get one guy out
- 24:56Speaker 4: because of the timing was off on the double play attempt.
- 25:01Speaker 4: The Marlins make it three to one, and then they
- 25:03Speaker 4: take advantage of the base runner still being on the
- 25:06Speaker 4: base path paths and they attack on three more before
- 25:11Speaker 4: the inning comes to a close and pretty much game
- 25:13Speaker 4: over at that point. And look, cold Emerson was given
- 25:17Speaker 4: the air and cold Emerson was the most to blame
- 25:20Speaker 4: for that play, but his timing was thrown off by
- 25:25Speaker 4: the Josh Naylor because he didn't handle it cleanly at
- 25:28Speaker 4: first base and then a soft throw to second, because
- 25:32Speaker 4: I think Josh was just like, Okay, we're just going
- 25:34Speaker 4: to make sure we get the one. Yeah, and Colt's
- 25:36Speaker 4: still thinking, you know, because he's a puppy trying to
- 25:39Speaker 4: pee on the carpet. He's still trying to get two.
- 25:42Speaker 4: And then he's off the bag too quickly because he's
- 25:47Speaker 4: at the bag when he's supposed to be, and he
- 25:50Speaker 4: really does skirt the line on that.
- 25:51Speaker 2: To begin with.
- 25:52Speaker 4: There have been a few times I was wondering if
- 25:54Speaker 4: he was going they were going to replay whether Colt
- 25:57Speaker 4: was had already slid off the bag. You can't do
- 25:59Speaker 4: that anymore, there's no you can't just be in the area.
- 26:02Speaker 4: You know, you were raised differently, you were raised You've
- 26:05Speaker 4: got to be on the bag. I was raised on
- 26:08Speaker 4: just be in the area and you'll get credit for
- 26:11Speaker 4: sliding over second base.
- 26:12Speaker 2: You gotta be on that bag. You gotta take care
- 26:15Speaker 2: of that dog.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, what just happened there?
- 26:20Speaker 4: You have a responsibility your dog gets lost. But it's frankly,
- 26:31Speaker 4: it's a positive about Colt Emerson. He was at the
- 26:36Speaker 4: bag at the right time, and Josh was supposed to
- 26:38Speaker 4: feel that cleanly and give him a good crisp throw
- 26:41Speaker 4: and we're gonna turn two on this. So Josh sort
- 26:45Speaker 4: of screwed up the timing of the entire play. Colt's
- 26:49Speaker 4: gotta be better though about Like, hey, not everything happens
- 26:53Speaker 4: on your time, not in life, not in sports, you know.
- 26:58Speaker 4: I we talk about my basketball career all the time.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Yeah, make fun of it all the time.
- 27:03Speaker 1: It was very illustrious.
- 27:04Speaker 4: I was a terrible shooter, but I was a excellent passer,
- 27:08Speaker 4: so good.
- 27:09Speaker 2: I was often too good for my teammates.
- 27:11Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is I had a
- 27:14Speaker 4: captain of ours, Mike Raft GiB Oh, Mike Raft GiB
- 27:17Speaker 4: fansome guys.
- 27:19Speaker 1: No one had a normal last name where you're from,
- 27:21Speaker 1: except you kind of. It's not a not a great name,
- 27:26Speaker 1: but normal.
- 27:27Speaker 4: But he pulled me aside and he was like, look,
- 27:31Speaker 4: you're making great passes, but Jeff is not as smart
- 27:38Speaker 4: as you. Sad, and Jeff was our best player, he's
- 27:43Speaker 4: not as smart as he doesn't see the court like
- 27:45Speaker 4: you do. You're not going to be able to throw
- 27:46Speaker 4: it where he should be because the turnover goes on
- 27:50Speaker 4: your statistic. It doesn't matter if you saw the play
- 27:53Speaker 4: the right way. If your teammate's slow, it's going to
- 27:58Speaker 4: be your fault that they get the ball right. And
- 28:02Speaker 4: that I think is kind of what Colt Emerson's got
- 28:05Speaker 4: a tame because he has such beautiful baseball instincts. I mean,
- 28:12Speaker 4: he is advanced, but you can't just expect the timing
- 28:18Speaker 4: of every play to go like you wanted to go right,
- 28:21Speaker 4: and that's what happened. And he's come close to doing
- 28:23Speaker 4: that a few times this year. But Josh had a
- 28:26Speaker 4: little bobble then a soft throw, and I think Josh
- 28:29Speaker 4: was like, let's just make sure we get one. And
- 28:30Speaker 4: Colt's still, you know, the puppy trying to turn two,
- 28:33Speaker 4: and he's already off the bag, and then it blows up.
- 28:36Speaker 4: And then the next thing you know, it's not two
- 28:37Speaker 4: to one, and you're out of the inning. You're down
- 28:39Speaker 4: six to one, and pretty much the game's over. Yeah,
- 28:41Speaker 4: and it was the game is over.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:43Speaker 5: And I will say this because the two days agoor
- 28:45Speaker 5: Yesterday we were talking about Cole Young at the end
- 28:47Speaker 5: of the game, and today we're talking a bit about
- 28:49Speaker 5: Colt Emerson. Can't be mad at either of them, though,
- 28:52Speaker 5: for the fact that this is the first kind of
- 28:54Speaker 5: negative things we've had we've had to say about either
- 28:57Speaker 5: of their performances.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Oh they're gonna be great, Yeah, not great right now.
- 29:01Speaker 4: They've got weaknesses, they're young, they're inexperience and if they
- 29:03Speaker 4: were great now, that'd be yeah. And and Colt's struggling
- 29:07Speaker 4: at the plate too and right now, so but but
- 29:10Speaker 4: I love what I see him. He's going to be
- 29:12Speaker 4: special eventually, he's just not there right now. And I
- 29:15Speaker 4: think that Perry, he'll probably will have to talk to
- 29:18Speaker 4: him about Hey man, you can't just expect everything to
- 29:21Speaker 4: happen on your time. There are a lot of other
- 29:24Speaker 4: moving parts here, and it's something that does need to
- 29:26Speaker 4: get corrected, because he's come close to doing that a
- 29:29Speaker 4: few times so far. Well, after you get swept by
- 29:32Speaker 4: the Miami Marlins, you got to hear from the manager,
- 29:36Speaker 4: even though he probably won't say anything interesting.
- 29:38Speaker 7: Here's not how we wanted to end the series. Here,
- 29:41Speaker 7: you know, tough one again today. You know, we had
- 29:43Speaker 7: some opportunities early in the ballgame, just weren't able to
- 29:47Speaker 7: capitalize on them. And we were able to get some
- 29:49Speaker 7: traffic there early chance, you know, to probably get the
- 29:53Speaker 7: starter out of the game quickly, but just not able
- 29:55Speaker 7: to convert those into runs, and you know, kind of
- 30:00Speaker 7: put us behind the eight ball a little bit. And
- 30:02Speaker 7: and uh, I thought, Rice, you know, it just wasn't
- 30:06Speaker 7: coming out of sharp today and and looked like he
- 30:08Speaker 7: had a tougher feel for his secondaries. And and you
- 30:11Speaker 7: know the four walks is you know, not indicative of Bryce.
- 30:14Speaker 8: And and uh, you know again, you know, these.
- 30:17Speaker 7: Guys hit hit the ball line the line, and they
- 30:19Speaker 7: took advantage of the opportunities that they were given. And
- 30:23Speaker 7: you know that was kind of just the.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Difference in the ball game today.
- 30:25Speaker 7: We did, you know, show some fight coming trying to
- 30:28Speaker 7: get back later some some of that bats where we
- 30:29Speaker 7: got some traffic, just weren't able to get.
- 30:31Speaker 1: That big hit and and get back in the ball game.
- 30:33Speaker 7: Is that kind of story of this series for for
- 30:35Speaker 7: for you guys, just not being able to cap away.
- 30:38Speaker 2: You did it for a little bit in the first game. Yeah,
- 30:41Speaker 2: I mean.
- 30:43Speaker 8: We you know that the opportunities we have, you know,
- 30:46Speaker 8: we need to take advantage of it. And it's just
- 30:48Speaker 8: it's it's been a little bit of a tougher time
- 30:50Speaker 8: for us right now, and and those things when you
- 30:53Speaker 8: start playing well and those things.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Start coming around, and and uh, you know, I know
- 30:57Speaker 1: it's coming and it's gonna you know, hopefully in Tampa.
- 31:04Speaker 4: Dan Wilson after the game, man, I mean it is
- 31:07Speaker 4: always a tough one, and there was always traffic early
- 31:10Speaker 4: and we just didn't come through with the big hit.
- 31:12Speaker 1: It's every time, Yeah, it is every time.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Although this time it seemed like he was about to
- 31:18Speaker 5: say when he was talking about Bryce Miller, He's like, well,
- 31:21Speaker 5: and that's hard when you've got you know, when you're
- 31:24Speaker 5: down in the count so much was what it sounded
- 31:26Speaker 5: like he was gonna say.
- 31:27Speaker 1: But he goes when you're down.
- 31:28Speaker 5: In the count so sometimes, like he didn't even want
- 31:33Speaker 5: to say so much.
- 31:34Speaker 2: I don't know, but there you go. There's the manager
- 31:38Speaker 2: I know, inspiring words for us.
- 31:39Speaker 4: All tonight it'll be Luis Castillo in Tampa against the Race,
- 31:44Speaker 4: who do have the best team record wise in the
- 31:47Speaker 4: American League right now, and it's not even close. They
- 31:50Speaker 4: are four games up on the second best record in
- 31:52Speaker 4: the American League. And Nick Martinez has turned out to
- 31:55Speaker 4: be a pretty decent pitcher. He peaked pitched for Team USA.
- 32:00Speaker 2: The last was it the last? Yeah?
- 32:03Speaker 4: I think it was the last WBC. He pitched for
- 32:06Speaker 4: Team USA. You might remember him from that, but he's
- 32:09Speaker 4: ended up being a pretty serviceable pitcher right handed, and
- 32:12Speaker 4: that's going to be your matchup at four ten, we'll
- 32:14Speaker 4: talk more about the Rays, who are kind of like
- 32:16Speaker 4: the Marlins, only better. They're like, yeah, they play exactly
- 32:21Speaker 4: like the Marlins, except they do everything just a little
- 32:24Speaker 4: bit better than the Marlins. And so that's who we
- 32:26Speaker 4: face for the next three days. So we'll talk about
- 32:29Speaker 4: that in the ABC's at seven thirty. Coming up next though,
- 32:32Speaker 4: the World Cup continues without Team America, and I don't know,
- 32:39Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Maybe I'm figuring this sport out.
- 32:41Speaker 4: Oh to figure a few things out about you fellas,
- 32:45Speaker 4: with your feet and your whatnot. Sports Radio ninety three
- 32:47Speaker 4: point three KJRFM headlines and Brad Evan's coming up in

- 33:08Speaker 4: away from the next World Cup match, as Spain will
- 33:11Speaker 4: take on Belgium.
- 33:12Speaker 1: If you remember they eliminated America, I remember that.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Thanks a lot Belgium. So they'll play today at noon.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Why not take it in at the Tulala Persort Casino.

- 33:29Speaker 4: big screen TVs, and of course you can place a
- 33:32Speaker 4: bet on the games.
- 33:34Speaker 1: That's the point here, people, that's right.
- 33:38Speaker 4: DraftKings Sports Book at Talala Presort Casino to get in
- 33:41Speaker 4: on the action Talala Resort Casino when all you want
- 33:45Speaker 4: is everything. So yes, we're gonna have brad on for
- 33:47Speaker 4: a second time this week. We still haven't got his
- 33:49Speaker 4: thoughts on Team USA getting eliminated, and certainly we're really
- 33:54Speaker 4: getting down to the best soccer matches of the last
- 33:57Speaker 4: four years here, starting with last night and then heading
- 34:01Speaker 4: into the weekend. And so we'll get his thoughts on
- 34:04Speaker 4: all of this coming up in a moment. But I'll
- 34:07Speaker 4: say this, I don't know, a little scary for me.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Maybe maybe the game is starting to make a little
- 34:11Speaker 4: sense to me now that I've taken some time to
- 34:14Speaker 4: kind of evaluate it.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Are you sure? I know?
- 34:17Speaker 4: No, I'm not sure, because okay, I'm really not sure.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Okay, all right, then, okay, proceed.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Okay, But I'm sitting there and so France and Morocco
- 34:26Speaker 4: start and I'm like, what in the world, what is this?
- 34:28Speaker 4: Like four corners? Like, is this Dean Smith coaching this team?
- 34:31Speaker 4: Like Morocco is just like looks like they're just like
- 34:34Speaker 4: milking the clock. All they're doing is like in their
- 34:38Speaker 4: in their own backfield do they call the backfield and
- 34:41Speaker 4: their own backfield, They're just like tapping tapping.
- 34:44Speaker 2: The ball to one another.
- 34:46Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, they're just they understand, they recognize
- 34:49Speaker 4: they're not as talented, and so they're just milking this clock.
- 34:53Speaker 4: So they're going to try to bleed as much of
- 34:55Speaker 4: the clock as possible. And then on defense, they were
- 34:59Speaker 4: also so just beating the hell out of France players.
- 35:04Speaker 4: The Frenchman they were just like they just come up
- 35:07Speaker 4: and just knocked into them, and I thought, Okay, I
- 35:11Speaker 4: get it.
- 35:12Speaker 2: I figured this out.
- 35:13Speaker 4: They're not nearly as talented as the other team and
- 35:15Speaker 4: they know it, and their coach is just trying to
- 35:17Speaker 4: figure out cheap little ways to stay in this match
- 35:21Speaker 4: and hopefully catch a break in the end. And pretty
- 35:23Speaker 4: much that's what unfolded, because France eventually their talent kind
- 35:29Speaker 4: of overtook the game and bope scores and then they
- 35:33Speaker 4: started kind of like running wild and it was almost
- 35:35Speaker 4: as if they were taunting them by the end of
- 35:37Speaker 4: the match against Morocco, So I don't know.
- 35:40Speaker 2: Maybe I'm starting to figure it out. I don't know,
- 35:43Speaker 2: but it just felt like.
- 35:44Speaker 4: From the beginning, Morocco knew we're not as talented. We're
- 35:47Speaker 4: gonna have to do a couple of a couple of
- 35:50Speaker 4: things here to try to steal this one away. Maybe
- 35:52Speaker 4: maybe we piss off in Bape and he gets a
- 35:54Speaker 4: red card. But they were just like they were just
- 35:58Speaker 4: very physical, very fit, physical, like to the point of
- 36:02Speaker 4: is that legal? Is that like allowed that consecutively to
- 36:07Speaker 4: just tackle the other guy, just bump into them at
- 36:10Speaker 4: all times, and eventually it did caught up, catch up
- 36:14Speaker 4: to them because France two to nothing is basically.
- 36:17Speaker 1: A blowout, right, yeah, it was over.
- 36:19Speaker 5: Yeah, although unless you're Egypt and you're playing Argentina, then
- 36:23Speaker 5: two or nothing is basically like your down two goals.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Well, when you're two nothing and you're not as talented, right,
- 36:29Speaker 4: it's different when you're up to nothing and your more talent.
- 36:32Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but I think because we saw that same
- 36:34Speaker 5: thing though at the end, and then Egypt just got
- 36:35Speaker 5: a bunch of like a billion yellow cards and got frustrated,
- 36:39Speaker 5: so they hadn't because they didn't play keep away enough
- 36:42Speaker 5: in the last.
- 36:43Speaker 2: I didn't even rewards of the game. I just watched
- 36:45Speaker 2: and crap is paint.
- 36:46Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean he that told you the story
- 36:48Speaker 5: right there, and but yeah, it isn't. I think it's
- 36:51Speaker 5: similar though to other sports we watch, right, Like, that's
- 36:53Speaker 5: kind of when the who was who?
- 36:55Speaker 1: The Spurs play in the first.
- 36:57Speaker 5: Round and they were nobody knew how to defend Wemby,
- 36:59Speaker 5: so they were just like just hug him and hit
- 37:03Speaker 5: him and do things. And that's when he threw the
- 37:05Speaker 5: elbow because he was so frustrated because he wasn't getting
- 37:07Speaker 5: any calls and yeah, you can't. You can't really make
- 37:11Speaker 5: somebody aggravated if they're not if their head's not right.
- 37:14Speaker 4: In that game, well and Bope kept his head. Now
- 37:17Speaker 4: he is a big M baby though. Oh yeah, yeah
- 37:20Speaker 4: he's a he's a bit of a n M pansy.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Yeah he cries a lot, does he really?
- 37:26Speaker 4: He's an M flopper, Yeah, he is a I haven't
- 37:29Speaker 4: watched him yet.
- 37:30Speaker 1: He is an M exaggerator, there's no question about it.
- 37:34Speaker 1: That's disappointing.
- 37:35Speaker 4: Yeah, he was just rolling around on the ground way
- 37:39Speaker 4: too many.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Times, or his legs broken. It looked like they might
- 37:42Speaker 1: have been him broken at one point.
- 37:44Speaker 4: But yeah, it just kind of if I like him
- 37:49Speaker 4: acting like an m baby. Brad Evans will join us next,
- 37:52Speaker 4: plus your headlines on Sports Radio ninety three point three
