- 1:15Speaker 2: In golf, South Africa's Garrick Higo, I think is how

- 1:20Speaker 2: to his Thursday morning tea time in the first round
- 1:24Speaker 2: of the one hundred and eighth PGA Championship at a

- 1:31Speaker 2: way tie for first place. It's almost finished in the
- 1:34Speaker 2: first round in the PGA Championship. So yeah, Ian's taking
- 1:37Speaker 2: a couple of days off. We're gonna kind of fill
- 1:39Speaker 2: the gaps for him here. I'm super excited to have
- 1:42Speaker 2: Jackson with me today because coming off a huge Sounders win,
- 1:46Speaker 2: I want to talk some World Cup with him. We
- 1:47Speaker 2: got to talk Seahawks schedule, We got to talk Mariners
- 1:50Speaker 2: a little bit. I know, you know they're playing a
- 1:52Speaker 2: game right now, but at the same time, I want
- 1:55Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about the cal Rawley situation.
- 1:57Speaker 2: You know how that's going to affect the team moving forward.
- 1:59Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Christian roll Don a little
- 2:01Speaker 2: bit later on today in the show. I'm excited to,
- 2:03Speaker 2: you know, ask him about the game last night. And then,
- 2:05Speaker 2: of course, you know, Sarahs you guys are used to
- 2:07Speaker 2: hearing from him on Thursdays right at two o'clock pushed
- 2:11Speaker 2: him back a little bit. So hopefully we have a
- 2:12Speaker 2: game to talk about. Jackson, what's going on?
- 2:14Speaker 4: Man?
- 2:15Speaker 2: How is that Sounders game?
- 2:15Speaker 5: Oh?
- 2:16Speaker 3: Man, dude, that was exciting. I'll tell you what. That's
- 2:18Speaker 3: the game of the year, the win of the year.
- 2:20Speaker 3: It's not fun when you and I'm not even joking
- 2:23Speaker 3: about this. They we literally gave the other team a
- 2:26Speaker 3: goal in the first two minutes of the game. We
- 2:28Speaker 3: basically kicked it to the other team and said you
- 2:30Speaker 3: want a scar, here take it. And we had to
- 2:33Speaker 3: fight back from that. But tell you what, it was
- 2:35Speaker 3: an exciting dub. And yeah, as you said, excited to
- 2:37Speaker 3: talk to Christian roll Don, a likely United States men's
- 2:41Speaker 3: national team World Cup player to.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Be Yeah, that's gonna be a fun conversation. You know,
- 2:45Speaker 2: I just I struggle sometimes with especially in soccer, because
- 2:50Speaker 2: you know, in other sports you have one goal usually
- 2:54Speaker 2: it's like it's your team season and then you get
- 2:56Speaker 2: to the playoffs and that's what you're focused on. But
- 2:58Speaker 2: in soccer, you have you know, your main season obviously
- 3:02Speaker 2: with MLS, and then you have you know, other competitions
- 3:04Speaker 2: in that season, whether it's Champions League, US Open Cup,
- 3:06Speaker 2: stuff like that, and then you have the international competitions.
- 3:09Speaker 2: And this is in some cases, like the World Cup,
- 3:11Speaker 2: bigger than everything. So how do they compartmentalize all of
- 3:15Speaker 2: their focus and everything. You got still two more games
- 3:17Speaker 2: before the World Cup break starts in MLS, so I'm
- 3:20Speaker 2: sure there's some angst in the Sounders locker room. I'm
- 3:23Speaker 2: curious to hear his thoughts about that, A big leader
- 3:25Speaker 2: in that spot. But first I want to get to
- 3:27Speaker 2: you were doing Sounders last night? Yeah, I was, you know,
- 3:31Speaker 2: unfortunately watching the Mariners game and struggling through that whole situation.
- 3:37Speaker 2: We'll talk about the game itself a little bit later on,
- 3:39Speaker 2: but I want to kind of talk about the Kyle
- 3:41Speaker 2: Rowley situation and what's been going on, because you know Ian,
- 3:44Speaker 2: whenever he's in he likes to discuss Sometimes there's some
- 3:49Speaker 2: questionable decision making process with the Mariners medical staff. I
- 3:53Speaker 2: think this is this also falls into that category because
- 3:57Speaker 2: cal Rawly about a week ago was taking out of
- 4:00Speaker 2: a couple games and obviously in the midst of a
- 4:03Speaker 2: huge slump. And then he comes back and he continues
- 4:06Speaker 2: that slump and doesn't look healthy, doesn't look right. It
- 4:10Speaker 2: said it was side discomfort at that time. He does
- 4:13Speaker 2: get the two hits two nights ago to kind of
- 4:15Speaker 2: break the slump, the largest slump of his career and
- 4:18Speaker 2: in MLB this year by the way of any player.
- 4:22Speaker 2: So you know, it was great to see him break
- 4:25Speaker 2: out of that the over at that point in time,
- 4:27Speaker 2: but he still didn't look healthy last night. And then
- 4:29Speaker 2: there was the play where Edward Bizardo threw the ball
- 4:32Speaker 2: into center field and that's where the Houston took their lead.
- 4:35Speaker 2: They showed cal Rawley kind of grimacing in pain while
- 4:38Speaker 2: he was moving to cover behind the third baseman, and
- 4:44Speaker 2: it's just one of those situations where you got to
- 4:47Speaker 2: protect the player from the player. And I realize they
- 4:50Speaker 2: now have put him on il as I mentioned in headlines,
- 4:53Speaker 2: But it should have happened ten days ago, yeah, when
- 4:56Speaker 2: it originally happened. So I don't know Jack's and I
- 5:00Speaker 2: know you were following Sounders last night, so I watched I caught.
- 5:03Speaker 6: Up on this sport.
- 5:03Speaker 3: I would say that I think you can pinpoint the
- 5:06Speaker 3: moment last night where everything flipped, and it's when the
- 5:09Speaker 3: umpire gets hit in the face. Yes, literally everything from
- 5:13Speaker 3: that point on it was just it was just downhill, right,
- 5:16Speaker 3: because you get the Cal, you get the loss, and
- 5:17Speaker 3: every means he feels like two loss, yeah right, where
- 5:20Speaker 3: you lose your best and then you lose the game.
- 5:22Speaker 3: And it's one of those things where Cal needed this
- 5:26Speaker 3: he as you said, he needed it earlier. But I'm
- 5:29Speaker 3: just glad that they finally did it because if you
- 5:32Speaker 3: keep trotting him out there expecting yet yeah, the general sort,
- 5:35Speaker 3: I mean they would they listed it as an oblique string.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Well yeah, okay, great, but at the at the end
- 5:41Speaker 3: of the day, like this needed to happen to break
- 5:44Speaker 3: him and give him some time, because you can take
- 5:47Speaker 3: a full uniform shower and then you can get two hits.
- 5:50Speaker 3: But you know, it's one of the as we always say,
- 5:53Speaker 3: and Joki Paris said, ninety percent of the game is
- 5:55Speaker 3: half mental h and I only think a full uniform
- 6:00Speaker 3: shower can do so much.
- 6:01Speaker 6: The dude just needs some time off.
- 6:03Speaker 3: He needs some mental time off, and he'll get that,
- 6:06Speaker 3: and you know, the hope is is that it is
- 6:09Speaker 3: just fifteen days. The hope is is that he returns
- 6:12Speaker 3: rejuvenated and you know, Johnny comes up here Johnny Parida
- 6:16Speaker 3: and doesn't crap the bed that much, and we can
- 6:20Speaker 3: have we can have ultimately a platoon system at Catcher
- 6:23Speaker 3: and be completely fine. And frankly, I mean, as as
- 6:27Speaker 3: terrible as this is to say, anders like they're probably
- 6:31Speaker 3: not going to do much worse than cal Rawly.
- 6:33Speaker 6: Was or a couple weeks.
- 6:34Speaker 2: And that's the biggest thing for me is like I
- 6:35Speaker 2: can sort of understand why to leave him in your
- 6:37Speaker 2: lineup if if the trade off for him not getting
- 6:41Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy is okay, he's still giving us
- 6:44Speaker 2: the best chance to win right now. These games matter
- 6:46Speaker 2: one hundred percent. They matter. So like, if you're able
- 6:49Speaker 2: to play through the pain, and you know cal Rawley's
- 6:51Speaker 2: still doing cal Rawly things, you know, I understand the
- 6:55Speaker 2: thought to, Okay, maybe you can play through this, and
- 6:57Speaker 2: I know Cal I'm sure Cal is like, hey, I'm good,
- 7:00Speaker 2: I can play through it. It's all good. It's just
- 7:02Speaker 2: knowing who he is as a person.
- 7:03Speaker 6: It's probably what's been happened exactly.
- 7:05Speaker 2: That's what I mean. So I can understand that if
- 7:08Speaker 2: that is the trade off and he gives you the
- 7:10Speaker 2: better chance to win, I don't think that's the case
- 7:12Speaker 2: right now. Mitch Garver playing every day. I said this
- 7:14Speaker 2: to Greg and Tross Talk. Mitch Garver playing every day
- 7:17Speaker 2: gives you a better chance to win than cal Rawly
- 7:19Speaker 2: does right now, at this moment, this version of cal
- 7:22Speaker 2: Rawly that we've been watching for the past two and
- 7:24Speaker 2: a half weeks, Mitch Garver gives you a better chance
- 7:26Speaker 2: to win. I know that sounds weird to say, because
- 7:28Speaker 2: I know a lot of people like to crap on
- 7:30Speaker 2: Mitch Garver A lot I do. But and like fine,
- 7:33Speaker 2: like he's a backup catcher. You you shouldn't expect him
- 7:35Speaker 2: to play every single day. The other thing that I noticed,
- 7:37Speaker 2: and then when they put out the lineup, Julio's not
- 7:39Speaker 2: in center field to day.
- 7:40Speaker 3: That was a last I mean, like last second. Like
- 7:43Speaker 3: you know, the other the deadline is you have to
- 7:44Speaker 3: change positions right before the lineup comes out. Yeah, that
- 7:47Speaker 3: change happened instantaneously before the lineup card came out. So
- 7:52Speaker 3: and then what does he do. I mean, ultimately, we're
- 7:55Speaker 3: looking at a Julio where don't hurt yourself.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're if you're all in a sort of
- 8:00Speaker 2: this comforter pain, we don't need another star going on
- 8:03Speaker 2: the il well. And it's something that I've also noticed
- 8:05Speaker 2: earlier in this season, and I've mentioned a couple times
- 8:07Speaker 2: both in my postcam showing on the air here in
- 8:09Speaker 2: kJ R, is like his defense doesn't look the same
- 8:11Speaker 2: as in years past. He's hitting the ball in early May,
- 8:14Speaker 2: which is a huge positive for him. It's it's great
- 8:16Speaker 2: to see that aspect of his game be better than
- 8:18Speaker 2: a year's past. But we're used to seeing him be
- 8:21Speaker 2: a Glove Gold Glove caliber center fielder and that just
- 8:23Speaker 2: hasn't been the case so far. So that's another kind
- 8:26Speaker 2: of red flag to me, like, oh, is he playing
- 8:28Speaker 2: through something right now? I really hope he's not. But
- 8:31Speaker 2: and this is just kind of a day to get
- 8:32Speaker 2: him some rest from playing in the field. But like
- 8:35Speaker 2: you said, it was a last second decision. So that
- 8:37Speaker 2: doesn't tell me that that's exactly what's going on. Then,
- 8:40Speaker 2: when you throw on the fact of last night, when
- 8:42Speaker 2: you talked about it with the umpire getting hit in
- 8:45Speaker 2: the face with Bryce Miller's Bryce Miller's making his season
- 8:48Speaker 2: debut looked great last night. Good to see him do
- 8:51Speaker 2: Bryce Miller things. Yeah, see, just talk tell that story
- 8:57Speaker 2: really quick because years someone who goes to the clubhouse quite
- 9:01Speaker 2: a bit, and you know you have these relationships with
- 9:04Speaker 2: these players. Tell the backstory of the King of I
- 9:07Speaker 2: five with Bryce Miller.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Okay, if you guys don't know, when a pitcher has
- 9:11Speaker 4: rehab assignments, they have to go to both Everett and Tacoma.
- 9:17Speaker 4: And obviously, if you're a smart manager of a team,
- 9:21Speaker 4: you do those oppositely. And so he's playing at home, right,
- 9:25Speaker 4: so they don't have to try at home, right. So
- 9:27Speaker 4: he has been down and up and down and up
- 9:31Speaker 4: if you're talking geographically, and so I jokingly called him
- 9:35Speaker 4: the King of I five.
- 9:36Speaker 6: And he liked that.
- 9:37Speaker 7: But then I found out he has a Diesel truck
- 9:42Speaker 7: eight bucks right now.
- 9:44Speaker 6: Oh my god.
- 9:44Speaker 4: I even said jokingly to him, I was like, you
- 9:47Speaker 4: got a guess card?
- 9:49Speaker 7: He goes, no, they would, and I'm like, what.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I had to clarify the fact
- 9:57Speaker 4: that where is he going to shop for guests if
- 9:59Speaker 4: he's paying seven ninety ninety count.
- 10:02Speaker 6: But at least at least at least he.
- 10:08Speaker 7: Has been working.
- 10:09Speaker 4: My point is, after talking to him, I realized how
- 10:12Speaker 4: far because he even had to figure out his schedule. Like,
- 10:15Speaker 4: you know, me and Kate were talking to him and going.
- 10:20Speaker 7: Hey, where are you and He's like, I don't.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Because that's how hard he was working on getting back.
- 10:29Speaker 7: And I want people to know that about him.
- 10:31Speaker 4: He's like the nicest dude you could ever talk to
- 10:33Speaker 4: in the clubhouse, super cool with us, joking around and everything.
- 10:36Speaker 7: But that's why I call him.
- 10:38Speaker 4: The game of by five is because he was constantly
- 10:42Speaker 4: going between Everett and Tacoma just to get himself right,
- 10:45Speaker 4: and I think he proved it.
- 10:46Speaker 6: Can he stay?
- 10:47Speaker 3: Can he just be great if he can just stay
- 10:50Speaker 3: in one stadium for a while, because he was awesome.
- 10:53Speaker 6: The velocity was there.
- 10:54Speaker 3: I know, Anders, I know you watched the whole thing,
- 10:56Speaker 3: like just for me quickly watching through it this morning,
- 11:00Speaker 3: looked like Bryce's back.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, you know, probably obviously the most obvious
- 11:04Speaker 2: truck owner that I've ever seen in my life, Miller
- 11:08Speaker 2: are he's from Texas at a little bit too, Miller.
- 11:14Speaker 7: I know, he's just so nice.
- 11:15Speaker 2: He is very nice. He's not nice. It's just you know,
- 11:18Speaker 2: you could tell by the vibe of someone like I
- 11:20Speaker 2: picture Cal Rawley driving a minivan to work every single day,
- 11:22Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
- 11:24Speaker 4: I could see him driving a beat up old car,
- 11:27Speaker 4: not giving any leaps about what he drove. Yeah.
- 11:31Speaker 2: So Bryce Miller is from Mount Pleasant, Texas, just about
- 11:34Speaker 2: what about half hour to the east of Dallas.
- 11:38Speaker 6: That is that is that is truck territory.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Hundred percent truck tear and great for him. He could
- 11:42Speaker 2: totally picture.
- 11:44Speaker 7: Him in a Tesla.
- 11:46Speaker 2: It was if it was San Antonio or Austin. But like, yeah,
- 11:49Speaker 2: right next to Dallas, that's that's truck chair. No, I agree,
- 11:52Speaker 2: but it is.
- 11:53Speaker 7: It is. But I'm just saying from my conversations with
- 11:57Speaker 7: him being.
- 11:57Speaker 4: This like, you know, sweet dude, dude who is really
- 12:01Speaker 4: cool at talking to nobody like me all the time
- 12:06Speaker 4: at the clubhouse, then I didn't just immediately think truck.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Sure, that's fair. But Jackson, to answer your question regarding
- 12:14Speaker 2: how he looked last night, Yes, especially in the first
- 12:17Speaker 2: few innings he was throwing ninety nine, which he had
- 12:19Speaker 2: never done before. Well, you could tell her his a
- 12:21Speaker 2: little adrenaline first time pitching. But we're in this discussion
- 12:25Speaker 2: regarding cal and now Julio, I did kind of remember tech.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Thank you text line for pointing it out. He did
- 12:30Speaker 2: hit a foul ball off his foot last night late
- 12:32Speaker 2: in the game, so it looks like it's more of
- 12:34Speaker 2: a precautionary situation with him.
- 12:35Speaker 6: I hope that's why.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Well, and he did it on the first pitch of today. Yeah,
- 12:39Speaker 2: oh geez again. Okay, of course, AnyWho, But regarding the
- 12:46Speaker 2: medical situation and some questionable decision making, I would point
- 12:49Speaker 2: to Bryce Miller once again last night too, because he
- 12:52Speaker 2: gets through five innings, kind of works through in the
- 12:54Speaker 2: fifth inning, a little bit of a jam to get
- 12:57Speaker 2: out of the inning, and it's like okay. They had
- 13:00Speaker 2: stated before the game, Dan Wilson said that they were
- 13:02Speaker 2: looking at eighty to eighty five pitches from him and
- 13:04Speaker 2: his debut. It's pretty normal you want to limit, you know,
- 13:07Speaker 2: a guy making the first MLB start of his season,
- 13:11Speaker 2: in which Bryce Miller is in this game, and then
- 13:15Speaker 2: you know, he gets through five innings. I forget exactly
- 13:18Speaker 2: how many pitches he had after five innings, but he
- 13:20Speaker 2: kind of worked through a jam. I would have been
- 13:22Speaker 2: totally fine with taking him out right after the fifth inning.
- 13:24Speaker 2: I would have been before the game, signed up for
- 13:27Speaker 2: five innings of Bryce Miller, no runs every single day
- 13:30Speaker 2: of the week. I get it. He was more efficient
- 13:32Speaker 2: than maybe you expected him to be. Okay, throw him
- 13:34Speaker 2: out there for you know, a couple maybe he can
- 13:36Speaker 2: get one more inning out of him. He gives up
- 13:38Speaker 2: the home run to Christian Walker. Okay, now Bryce Miller's done.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Now Bryce Miller's done. Nope, They keep him in there
- 13:45Speaker 2: for the next batter and he gets him out, thankfully,
- 13:49Speaker 2: So he gets through, gets one out of the of
- 13:51Speaker 2: the sixth inning, and then that's when the ump gets
- 13:54Speaker 2: hit in the face, and you're talking like a ten
- 13:57Speaker 2: minute delay at least.
- 13:58Speaker 6: Everything goes downhill from that moment.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Exactly, and you're at seventy nine pitches for Bryce Miller
- 14:03Speaker 2: at that point, I'm thinking, Okay, obviously he's done now right,
- 14:07Speaker 2: you're right around the eighty to eighty five pitch mark
- 14:10Speaker 2: that you're you stated yourself that that's the limit that
- 14:14Speaker 2: you're giving him, and you're sitting him down for at
- 14:18Speaker 2: least He literally went back into the dugout while they
- 14:20Speaker 2: were doing this, so I'm like, Okay, Bryce is done,
- 14:22Speaker 2: all right, who's gonna come out now? Cooper Chris Well, whatever,
- 14:25Speaker 2: they don't. They put him back out there. He gives
- 14:28Speaker 2: up a hit to the next batter. Okay, then I'm thinking, okay, well,
- 14:31Speaker 2: now he's done. Nope, they keep him out there and
- 14:34Speaker 2: he gives up another hit. So now Cooper Chris wall
- 14:36Speaker 2: is coming into the game with multiple guys on base.
- 14:39Speaker 2: That's when everything starts to blow up. As you mentioned,
- 14:41Speaker 2: it's kind of the sliding moment of the game, or
- 14:44Speaker 2: the momentum turns into Houston's favor. But I'm not even
- 14:47Speaker 2: thinking about, like, let alone the fact that that's not
- 14:50Speaker 2: the best decision to win the game again for his health.
- 14:54Speaker 2: He's making the first start of his season, he had
- 14:56Speaker 2: gotten to seventy nine pitches, already given up a run
- 14:59Speaker 2: in that ending. Sort of it looked like he was
- 15:00Speaker 2: laboring at that point, and you still leave him out
- 15:03Speaker 2: there after a ten plus minute delay. I think that's
- 15:06Speaker 2: a little bit of malpractice in my opinion.
- 15:08Speaker 6: I think that's fair.
- 15:10Speaker 3: I also kind of look at the bullpen situation currently
- 15:13Speaker 3: right now and just the way things stand. I know
- 15:14Speaker 3: Ferreira's back Brash is starting his rehabit to Colma today,
- 15:18Speaker 3: so the bullpen should be getting better, but right now
- 15:21Speaker 3: it's definitely, you know, just trying to put band aids
- 15:24Speaker 3: over what is a rough situation right now. And not
- 15:27Speaker 3: to mention, you look at today and okay, we're gonna
- 15:30Speaker 3: look at Luis Castile, we might need our bullpen the
- 15:33Speaker 3: way Luis Castile has been pitching. So I think you
- 15:36Speaker 3: they kind of Dan probably looked at those both yesterday
- 15:40Speaker 3: and today kind of combined and said, now I need
- 15:43Speaker 3: a little more out of Bryce because it's just a
- 15:46Speaker 3: little bit less on the bullpen taking today that I
- 15:49Speaker 3: may need to use tomorrow in what could be a
- 15:51Speaker 3: deciding game of this series. So I understood it in
- 15:56Speaker 3: that context. But yeah, in the moment when you look
- 15:59Speaker 3: at you know, just isolated them. You want to make
- 16:02Speaker 3: sure Bryce stays healthy. Yeah, what you're saying makes sense.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Yeah, But and I can also understand a little bit
- 16:07Speaker 2: because now you're in a six man rotation. We talked
- 16:10Speaker 2: about this a lot. That means one less bullpen arm,
- 16:13Speaker 2: so you have to try and squeeze every single out
- 16:15Speaker 2: out of your starting pitchers as as much as possible.
- 16:19Speaker 2: But again, this is his first start. I think a
- 16:21Speaker 2: special case scenario is in place for a guy making
- 16:25Speaker 2: his first start off an injury. Make sure he's good.
- 16:29Speaker 2: It's made a ton of sense to take him out
- 16:31Speaker 2: after five innings at that point. But even after the
- 16:33Speaker 2: home run and even after the delay, there's multiple instances
- 16:36Speaker 2: where it felt like he could have been taken out
- 16:37Speaker 2: of the game, but he wasn't. So that's one of
- 16:39Speaker 2: the reasons you lose last night. But again, we'll talk
- 16:42Speaker 2: kind of more Mayners a little bit later on in
- 16:44Speaker 2: the show, because they are playing a game right now.
- 16:46Speaker 2: They are up five to one at this point, which
- 16:48Speaker 2: is great to see. But the other kind of big
- 16:51Speaker 2: news chilling. Yeah, yeah, we're chilling. Yeah, it's all good.
- 16:57Speaker 2: The other big piece of news yesterday was the Seahawks schedule,
- 17:00Speaker 2: so I'm curious. We kind of talked a little bit
- 17:03Speaker 2: about Ian show yesterday. I know you guys touched on
- 17:05Speaker 2: it on Softie Show. He is all in on that stuff.
- 17:08Speaker 2: If you look at his Twitter timeline, by the way,
- 17:10Speaker 2: all of a sudden, this is do you guys get
- 17:12Speaker 2: the vibe that now it's like reporter soft ye, yes,
- 17:15Speaker 2: Like I've never seen him have this sort of vibe,
- 17:19Speaker 2: you know what I mean, where it's like, Okay, I'm
- 17:20Speaker 2: hearing from my sources that, yeah, thank you, Chopper seven.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Is I'm not sure if you guys were, Chopper nine
- 17:27Speaker 3: to fifty was a thing once in the day here
- 17:29Speaker 3: I was present as I started here at the station,
- 17:32Speaker 3: Chopper nine fifty was just ending.
- 17:34Speaker 6: Okay, and this very much has shades of that.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Okay.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Softy is a reporter one time a year, and that
- 17:40Speaker 3: is right now.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Look at that Twitter timeline. I'm telling you, like he's
- 17:44Speaker 2: always like Take Central where it's just like giving his
- 17:47Speaker 2: opinions all the time, which is great, That's why we
- 17:48Speaker 2: love him. But now all of a sudden, it's like,
- 17:50Speaker 2: all right, he's giving us information. All of a sudden,
- 17:53Speaker 2: I'm hearing from my sources that these are the primetime
- 17:55Speaker 2: games and this is the listening a lot. It's like
- 17:58Speaker 2: Adam Schefter in Seattle here, what's going on? I mean,
- 18:00Speaker 2: that's Softy is as listen. If he's listening right now,
- 18:04Speaker 2: I hope he's not, because I'm going to say something
- 18:06Speaker 2: nice about him.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Not he's definitely, I hope he. I'm going to say
- 18:10Speaker 3: something nice about him. So make sure this doesn't get
- 18:12Speaker 3: recorded to make sure this never gets.
- 18:14Speaker 7: Back to take it out of the podcast.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Yeah, please just don't let anybody ever hear this again.
- 18:18Speaker 3: To him, he on top of being a generally great dude,
- 18:22Speaker 3: he is really extremely well connected to this city and
- 18:26Speaker 3: when it comes to these sorts of things where hey,
- 18:29Speaker 3: it's coming out anyway, he has information off the Wahoo
- 18:33Speaker 3: on a thousand different elements on all frankly all of
- 18:36Speaker 3: our teams. Yeah, and this is one where he Honestly,
- 18:40Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever seen Softy miss when
- 18:42Speaker 3: it comes to this really comes to the schedule release stuff,
- 18:44Speaker 3: he is I would say ninety nine point nine accurate
- 18:47Speaker 3: when it comes to schedulely stuff. And I am a
- 18:50Speaker 3: subscriber to everything he puts out there. I think he
- 18:53Speaker 3: does an amazing job with schedule release.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Well, on that note, I want to kind of talk
- 18:56Speaker 2: about everything that he has reported so that we can
- 18:59Speaker 2: be nice nine percent sure that you know everything that
- 19:02Speaker 2: he's putting out there is good to go. So he's
- 19:04Speaker 2: saying there's up to seven primetime games now for the
- 19:07Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks, which is crazy. I know everyone has a
- 19:10Speaker 2: five game minimum at this point, but seeing the Seahawks
- 19:14Speaker 2: get up to seven is pretty dang cool. Seven is
- 19:16Speaker 2: the max that any team can happen. Yeah, the seas
- 19:19Speaker 2: are at that. Yeah, And like to me, we talked
- 19:22Speaker 2: about this last week. I thought they would have kind
- 19:24Speaker 2: of low ended the Seahawks and the primetime games. Not
- 19:27Speaker 2: because you know, I don't think they're like sliding the
- 19:30Speaker 2: Seahawks or don't think they're good. It's just for whatever reason,
- 19:32Speaker 2: everyone's drinking the rams kool aid in terms of, you know,
- 19:36Speaker 2: being the Super Bowl favorites and all that stuff. I know,
- 19:38Speaker 2: the Seahawks are Super Bowl champs and they beat him
- 19:39Speaker 2: twice last year, but it seems like they're kind of
- 19:43Speaker 2: the ones that they're hyping up a little bit. But
- 19:45Speaker 2: I'm happy to see that the Seahawks are getting some
- 19:47Speaker 2: love on a national scale. So let's talk about that
- 19:50Speaker 2: on the other side of this break. And we have
- 19:53Speaker 2: a keyword for you, Jessmin McIntyre. What is our keyword
- 19:56Speaker 2: for the hour?

- 20:59Speaker 2: Mac tire phone in for infness in any three point
- 21:01Speaker 2: three kJ.
- 21:02Speaker 8: R f M.
- 21:23Speaker 6: All right, some people are gonna be mad about that.
- 21:25Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we kind of, we kind of
- 21:28Speaker 2: are getting people excited for no reason. But I'm gonna
- 21:31Speaker 2: play into the joke here. All right, we have uh
- 21:35Speaker 2: Steve Softy Moll reporting on site. Uh if you follow
- 21:39Speaker 2: his Twitter timeline, you can see uh that he is
- 21:42Speaker 2: following this story very closely developing story here with the
- 21:45Speaker 2: Seahawks schedule. Don't worry you guys, it's not actually breaking news.
- 21:48Speaker 6: I was gonna say, a lot of people are going
- 21:50Speaker 6: to be angry. Sorry, what just happened?
- 21:52Speaker 2: What happened?
- 21:54Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 21:54Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, good point. You know, if you don't know,
- 21:57Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of rumblings out there in reports,
- 22:00Speaker 2: not even rumblings, reports from our guy Dave reporter softy Baller,
- 22:06Speaker 2: saying that the Seahawks are now going to be in
- 22:08Speaker 2: seven primetime games in twenty twenty six. First of all,
- 22:11Speaker 2: before we get into all the games that kind of
- 22:13Speaker 2: go through everything, what do you guys think the Seahawks
- 22:16Speaker 2: should do for their schedule? Release like thing? Because everyone
- 22:19Speaker 2: does something. I still remember the one from like maybe
- 22:23Speaker 2: two or three years ago when the Tennessee Titans did
- 22:25Speaker 2: they go around Nashville.
- 22:26Speaker 6: Yes, that was the one of the best. So shit, no,
- 22:30Speaker 6: you can't.
- 22:30Speaker 3: The Chargers are regularly really really good and I have
- 22:33Speaker 3: various you know, graphics of some kind. I mean, you
- 22:36Speaker 3: always think about like what's in the zeitgeist right now,
- 22:39Speaker 3: right what's going through you know, overall people's topics and
- 22:43Speaker 3: whatnot and stuff. AI is a big deal, So you
- 22:46Speaker 3: could do something along the lines of AI, and well.
- 22:49Speaker 6: It would be interesting. I'm just cratings off the top
- 22:51Speaker 6: of my head.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Yeah, is if the Seahawks had of thing you shows
- 22:54Speaker 3: the graphic of them typing into the AI system, show
- 22:58Speaker 3: us the logo of knowing in New England Patriots.
- 23:01Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and you know, and just have it just.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Be an absurd logo of the New England Patriots anything
- 23:07Speaker 2: like their actual logo. It's great. Oh I really like that.
- 23:10Speaker 6: Actually, that's a good idea.
- 23:11Speaker 2: You should be on a Marshall team.
- 23:13Speaker 6: Yeah, what's going on here? You should do that for
- 23:15Speaker 6: our station. What's going on? Yeah? Well is that come
- 23:17Speaker 6: with a Patriots?
- 23:18Speaker 2: It should but you know, yeah, that is our motto
- 23:23Speaker 2: by the way, Yeah, it really is. Okay, So we
- 23:26Speaker 2: hear yesterday from Softy that it's actually week one. Everyone
- 23:30Speaker 2: was expecting Bears. It seemed like I think most people
- 23:33Speaker 2: were under the assumption that it would be the Bears.
- 23:34Speaker 2: But it's actually the Patriots Mike Rable comes into town.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Maybe not with Diana Rusciiti.
- 23:39Speaker 6: We'll see.
- 23:39Speaker 2: What do you think about the Patriots.
- 23:40Speaker 6: Gig one.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I love this thing. Maybe not with Diana Recidi. I
- 23:45Speaker 3: love it because this on a lot of levels. We're
- 23:48Speaker 3: going to kick their ass, that's kind of the first thing.
- 23:50Speaker 3: But they're going to come in as a distracted team.
- 23:52Speaker 3: I mean was I want to start off with a
- 23:54Speaker 3: win in Week one. It doesn't matter the opponent. I
- 23:56Speaker 3: think Chicago is a pretty good football team. I think
- 23:59Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is and I want the best chance to
- 24:03Speaker 3: get a win in Week one while still having a you.
- 24:06Speaker 6: Know, a good opponent. You don't want to face.
- 24:08Speaker 3: The Cardinals in week one, Kobe Brissette, Come on now,
- 24:11Speaker 3: I want to have somebody legit and we're gonna kick
- 24:14Speaker 3: the Patriots ass. But they're they're dealing with such a
- 24:17Speaker 3: massive distraction with Rabel. Will Mike Abel to even be
- 24:21Speaker 3: the head coach of the New England Patriots come week one?
- 24:24Speaker 6: Who knows?
- 24:25Speaker 3: If if this thing just keeps mounting, they keep releasing photos,
- 24:29Speaker 3: YadA YadA, then who knows. But they're dealing with so
- 24:32Speaker 3: much they're gonna be under the microscope as the season starts.
- 24:35Speaker 3: So you add all of that together. Drake May I
- 24:38Speaker 3: don't think he's worth a damn uh. The Seahawks have
- 24:41Speaker 3: not changed that much considerably, or the Patriots I have. Yeah,
- 24:46Speaker 3: I love this for the Seahawks because I care more
- 24:48Speaker 3: about winning than anything.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's a good point, I think if you
- 24:52Speaker 2: kind of look at everything. I can't remember the last
- 24:54Speaker 2: time the Seahawks played a Super Bowl rematch the following season.
- 24:58Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember if they did after the Broncos win.
- 25:02Speaker 3: They played the Packers in Week one and because it
- 25:05Speaker 3: was or I think it was the Packers in Week
- 25:08Speaker 3: one and ariana grande performer, and it was a whole thing,
- 25:11Speaker 3: and I think we won in if I remember, correct,
- 25:14Speaker 3: did Percy Harvin actually do something really fourteen season, right
- 25:19Speaker 3: that you're talking about the year after we won our
- 25:21Speaker 3: first season? I think we opened, correct me, because you
- 25:23Speaker 3: can pull it up. I think we played the Packers
- 25:26Speaker 3: and Percy did something and it was a pretty comfortable win.
- 25:30Speaker 3: But it actually hasn't happened in the NFL a rematch
- 25:34Speaker 3: since Denver Carolina, coming off of Super Bowl fifty, which
- 25:38Speaker 3: was also in San Francisco, by the way, but that's
- 25:41Speaker 3: the last time that's happened.
- 25:43Speaker 6: So a decade later.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Well, I'm not even thinking week one. I'm thinking just
- 25:46Speaker 2: in general, like, when did we play our Super Bowl
- 25:49Speaker 2: opponent in the following season, Because you're right, we did
- 25:53Speaker 2: play the Broncos in that season after we beat the
- 25:55Speaker 2: Broncos in the in the Super Bowl three or so.
- 25:58Speaker 2: It was Week three, Yes, and we u was.
- 26:00Speaker 3: An overtime game winning touchdown on Marshawn Lynch I form
- 26:03Speaker 3: up the middle right behind Michael Robinson into the end
- 26:06Speaker 3: zone overtime, twenty six to twenty.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty six to twenty.
- 26:09Speaker 6: How do you know this?
- 26:11Speaker 2: I mean, you could honestly quiz me on any game
- 26:13Speaker 2: from those two seasons. Then did we play after we
- 26:17Speaker 2: lost the Patriots? Did we play them the next season?
- 26:20Speaker 3: After we lost the Patriots? Did we play them the
- 26:23Speaker 3: next season? Yes, and we beat them. That was the
- 26:26Speaker 3: Cam Chancellor at the buzzer against rob Gronkowski where we
- 26:31Speaker 3: did stop the patch and that was was that also
- 26:34Speaker 3: the game where Kristin Michael popped off.
- 26:37Speaker 6: I want to say, there's an.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Running back I don't see. I don't see the Patriots
- 26:43Speaker 2: I remember twenty fifteen.
- 26:44Speaker 6: Fine time game of US in New England. Off on that.
- 26:47Speaker 2: I think all this is off the top of mind. No,
- 26:49Speaker 2: I know, I think you have the right idea. I
- 26:51Speaker 2: think it might have been the year we actually won
- 26:52Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, though, like, are you in.
- 26:54Speaker 7: We mad Brough territory? Is that what we're doing?
- 26:57Speaker 2: No, I'm just kind of thinking, like, if I remember correctly,
- 26:59Speaker 2: I think the team that lost the Super Bowl has
- 27:02Speaker 2: won the rematch more often than not. But we also
- 27:06Speaker 2: we beat the Broncos and then beat him again, so
- 27:08Speaker 2: maybe that's that is just my initial thought. But anyways,
- 27:12Speaker 2: Week one versus Patriots. I love how Softy in his
- 27:15Speaker 2: reporting tweet says WNF that's not a thing, but it's
- 27:19Speaker 2: Wednesday night football. It's a new thing now. I guess
- 27:21Speaker 2: it's a new thing.
- 27:22Speaker 6: I mean, thanks Softia.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, and I actually gave him this news because
- 27:28Speaker 3: I had to go back and look at it. The
- 27:30Speaker 3: Seahawks are the first team in NFL history to play
- 27:34Speaker 3: every day of the week except for one day. No
- 27:37Speaker 3: team has ever done that in one season. Where the
- 27:39Speaker 3: Seahawks are playing on Tuesday, it is Tuesday and Monday,
- 27:42Speaker 3: but they're playing on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
- 27:45Speaker 3: this year.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Wow, okay, just the NFL used to be a Sunday
- 27:48Speaker 2: and Monday league, and now it's not anymore.
- 27:50Speaker 7: We used to be just Sundays. I know, you're a child.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I am a child. It was just Sunday, by the way,
- 27:56Speaker 2: by the way, I was, I was right. It was
- 27:58Speaker 2: twenty sixteen over member of twenty sixteen Seahawks in New England.
- 28:02Speaker 2: They won thirty one twenty four. Yeah, and they did
- 28:04Speaker 2: have a CJ. Proc Ice pop off. Okay, you're right, backup,
- 28:08Speaker 2: running back, You're right. But it was the following year
- 28:10Speaker 2: it was okay, okay. So after Week one of this
- 28:13Speaker 2: Patriots Super Bowl rematch, Mike Rabel, Diana Rossini, Seahawks looking
- 28:17Speaker 2: to kick their butt once again. You got Week six
- 28:20Speaker 2: at Denver on Thursday night football. I think that'll be
- 28:22Speaker 2: a fun one. Yeah, what maybe could have been and
- 28:24Speaker 2: should have been the Super Bowl.
- 28:25Speaker 3: The cool thing about this is you, according to Softa,
- 28:28Speaker 3: you have Week six at Denver Thursday.
- 28:30Speaker 9: Yep.
- 28:31Speaker 3: You have Week seven Kansas City at home on Sunday,
- 28:33Speaker 3: and then you have Week eight home Chicago on Monday.
- 28:37Speaker 3: The same about that three straight weeks, three straight weeks,
- 28:39Speaker 3: and also you get a Thursday to Sunday and then
- 28:41Speaker 3: a Sunday to Monday. Yeah, so the extra breaks in
- 28:44Speaker 3: between those primetime games, it's just it sets.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Up beautifully for the Seahawks in those three weeks. Yeah,
- 28:50Speaker 2: and two of those three are at home as well.
- 28:52Speaker 2: The only one is on the road at Denver. Then
- 28:55Speaker 2: you have a couple weeks off of the primetime games. Guys,
- 28:57Speaker 2: by the way, this is all I don't want to
- 28:59Speaker 2: say unofficial. This is reports from softie, as Jackson says, conjectures,
- 29:03Speaker 2: so dialed in, he's so he knows what's going on.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Let's be completely guy, and we know that full schedule
- 29:07Speaker 2: will come out later today. But we're just reacting to
- 29:09Speaker 2: the games that we Let's be honest. No, at this point.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Week thirteen, Dallas Monday Night Football, Cowboys Seahawks. That'll be
- 29:16Speaker 2: funny with that's another ass kicking. Do you think so?
- 29:19Speaker 6: I think so.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Everyone loves the Dallas Cowboys after the draft.
- 29:21Speaker 3: This year, but I also love that we're facing Dallas
- 29:24Speaker 3: later in the season, so they'll already be done.
- 29:26Speaker 2: That's true.
- 29:26Speaker 3: If it was an early seasons, Dallas has hope and
- 29:29Speaker 3: they have hype, and Skip Bayless is all popping off
- 29:32Speaker 3: about the Dallas Cowboys like and other ESPN personalities just
- 29:36Speaker 3: you know, you can't get enough of them. This is
- 29:38Speaker 3: later in the season where at that point, okay, the
- 29:40Speaker 3: Eagles will probably have you know, wrapped up the division
- 29:43Speaker 3: the Commanders, and then Dallas could be fighting for a
- 29:45Speaker 3: wild card spot. But the hype around the Cowboys is
- 29:48Speaker 3: going to be much lower compared to what it would
- 29:51Speaker 3: have been, say if this was a Week seven game.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Yeah, Week fifteen at Philadelphia on Saturday. That's an interesting
- 29:59Speaker 2: one to me. First of all, wool and revenge game.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Second of all, as you mentioned six seven eight, you
- 30:04Speaker 2: go thirteen fifteen, sixteen, so three and four weeks after
- 30:07Speaker 2: that with your primetime games, and I think the Eagles
- 30:10Speaker 2: will be really good this year. And then of course
- 30:11Speaker 2: Week sixteen rams Christmas Night. This is a weird one
- 30:16Speaker 2: to me. If you guys had to choose to play
- 30:18Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, I think this is
- 30:20Speaker 2: Christmas Day. But in the evening I think it was
- 30:22Speaker 2: what Softy's saying, which would you rather have?
- 30:24Speaker 6: Jackson, I absolutely want this Christmas Day.
- 30:27Speaker 2: On Christmas Day, more than Christmas Eve, specifically this year,
- 30:31Speaker 2: because Christmas Eve falls on a Thursday, Christmas Day falls
- 30:34Speaker 2: on a Friday, and then you get Saturday and Sunday off,
- 30:36Speaker 2: So I mean, listen, most people are going to have
- 30:38Speaker 2: the twenty fourth off anyway.
- 30:39Speaker 3: So ultimately I want to go into the weekend of
- 30:42Speaker 3: NFL games Saturday and frankly just the weekend in general
- 30:46Speaker 3: coming off of this game. The beauty also is that
- 30:49Speaker 3: you've you've finished all of your partying pretty much. Yeah,
- 30:51Speaker 3: from Christmas Eve into Christmas Morning. You have all your presents,
- 30:55Speaker 3: So listen. If it's a Seahawk win, it's just your
- 30:57Speaker 3: latest gift, that's true. But if it's a loss, and
- 31:01Speaker 3: we all hope it isn't, then at least you can
- 31:03Speaker 3: fall back on enjoying everything in the family time and
- 31:06Speaker 3: watching the kids play, with their presence and you have
- 31:09Speaker 3: things to fall back on. Or if it's Christmas Eve,
- 31:11Speaker 3: you just go into Christmas Morning with a bad mood
- 31:14Speaker 3: if we.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Lose, Yeah, I think that's ago. Jess, what do you
- 31:16Speaker 2: prefer morning or sorry, Christmas even Christmas Day.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Depends on where I am because they usually go back
- 31:21Speaker 4: to New York. So this is me talking personal.
- 31:25Speaker 7: Preference.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Christmas Day would be fun because I could actually get
- 31:31Speaker 4: my family members were a MacIntire clan, I could get
- 31:34Speaker 4: them to stop talking.
- 31:38Speaker 2: And you work in radio and you're telling them to
- 31:40Speaker 2: stop talking.
- 31:41Speaker 7: I know I annoying, but I would actually shut up.
- 31:46Speaker 4: No. I either one would work for me.
- 31:50Speaker 10: But for the players, Oh, if that's an option, know,
- 31:55Speaker 10: if we're throwing that Giving is number one here the players,
- 31:59Speaker 10: I would prefer Christmas Eve, okay, right, so they could
- 32:02Speaker 10: have Christmas Day with their families.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably good, like you not being
- 32:07Speaker 2: selfish there while you're thinking about someone other than yourself
- 32:09Speaker 2: all the time always, I know.
- 32:11Speaker 4: Right.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Thanksgivings easy number one because that allows you to pretty
- 32:14Speaker 3: much all because let's be I mean, just for me,
- 32:16Speaker 3: Like Thanksgiving, you definitely have the larger group together. I
- 32:20Speaker 3: split up Christmas with my family, used to complain, so
- 32:23Speaker 3: so Thanksgiving you have the whole group together, and there
- 32:25Speaker 3: can be awkward moments.
- 32:26Speaker 2: You don't want the political talk coming in. Nope, so
- 32:28Speaker 2: the Seahawks taking over. Thanks just to yeah, exactly exactly.
- 32:31Speaker 7: That's when drunk comes in exactly, thank you.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Yeah the rest instead, you know, all right, we might
- 32:41Speaker 2: hear from Christian will Don. We're waiting on schedules for him.
- 32:44Speaker 2: You know, we we will either get him in the
- 32:46Speaker 2: next segment or the following segment and the one o'clock hour.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Can't wait to talk to the sounders, one of the
- 32:51Speaker 2: sounders captains. I should say, maybe not the captain because
- 32:54Speaker 2: you still have Stephan Fry on the team. But excited
- 32:56Speaker 2: to talk to Christian wildon possibly next segment. If not,
- 32:58Speaker 2: we'll talk a little bit more Seahawks on ninety three
- 33:00Speaker 2: point three kJ r f M.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Now back Dean Furness on your Home for the Huskies
- 33:15Speaker 1: Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
- 33:18Speaker 1: closest Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
- 33:22Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ r f M.
- 33:29Speaker 2: When I hear the Fox theme music on May fourteenth,
- 33:33Speaker 2: it can only mean one thing, Jackson Felt's schedule, schedule, schedule.
- 33:38Speaker 2: There's there's leaks coming out. There's leaks, and there's guesses,
- 33:42Speaker 2: guesses leaks guess. Yeah, that's good point, that's good point.
- 33:47Speaker 2: We should be we should clarify the leak. Hey, listen,
- 33:49Speaker 2: we're all young. I don't think we have to talk
- 33:51Speaker 2: about leaking yet No, not yet, you're a man.
- 33:56Speaker 6: And have to talk about leaking.
- 33:59Speaker 4: Yes.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 34:01Speaker 4: I do like it though, because it creates more anticipation
- 34:05Speaker 4: of figuring out who is right and who is wrong.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do. Yeah. I do want to kind
- 34:12Speaker 2: of ask you one thing before we get into the
- 34:14Speaker 2: full on schedule here, because like I said, there are
- 34:17Speaker 2: some people who are saying that they have the full
- 34:20Speaker 2: schedule for the for the Seattle Seahawks, and of course
- 34:22Speaker 2: officially comes out at five pm later tonight. You can
- 34:24Speaker 2: hear the full reaction of SOFTI in Dick later on
- 34:27Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM. But Jackson, just in general,
- 34:31Speaker 2: as we're kind of looking at you know who the
- 34:32Speaker 2: Seahawks are facing this year, and you know their off
- 34:36Speaker 2: season so far, I want to get your thoughts because
- 34:39Speaker 2: I think, at least for me and in my circles
- 34:42Speaker 2: that I'm with with Seahawks fans, there's very high expectations
- 34:45Speaker 2: on this team. Understandably so it's the Super Bowl champions,
- 34:49Speaker 2: But do you think that it's unrealistic to expect the
- 34:52Speaker 2: Super Bowl champions to get even better in twenty twenty
- 34:56Speaker 2: six than they were in twenty twenty five, because I
- 34:58Speaker 2: think even with the twenty thirteen team, with the Seahawks,
- 35:02Speaker 2: there was still an understanding of Okay, this team's historic,
- 35:04Speaker 2: They're still gonna likely take a step back, even if
- 35:07Speaker 2: it's a small step back, you know what I mean.
- 35:09Speaker 2: I don't get that feeling with this team.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is a little unrealistic to think
- 35:13Speaker 3: that they improve in a large fashion. I think what
- 35:17Speaker 3: you do is you look at what they lost, right,
- 35:20Speaker 3: and you lose a Kenneth Waukee, you replace him with
- 35:22Speaker 3: a Jendarian Price. And you lose a boy A Mafy
- 35:24Speaker 3: you replace him with a Dante Faler. Yeah, those are
- 35:26Speaker 3: both minuses. You lose a Trek One, you replace him
- 35:29Speaker 3: with a third round draft pick, right, you lose a
- 35:31Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant, you replace him with a second round draft pick.
- 35:33Speaker 3: You're banking on a lot of these young players from
- 35:36Speaker 3: the draft and specifically Dante Fowler the signing to replace
- 35:41Speaker 3: established guys on the team, and I think that's a
- 35:43Speaker 3: little unrealistic to think that they can have the same level.
- 35:47Speaker 3: I know least we ragged on Tarik One a number
- 35:50Speaker 3: of times, but Reek did put together I think a
- 35:52Speaker 3: middle of the season that was very even.
- 35:54Speaker 2: In the end. Besides, like that one Ram game, and
- 35:56Speaker 2: to be completely honest.
- 35:57Speaker 3: So I think you owe and obviously Kenneth Walker the
- 36:01Speaker 3: run that he had. Yes, to expect that whether Sharpenning
- 36:04Speaker 3: comes back healthy or Price develops, to think that either
- 36:07Speaker 3: of them are going to have that kind of run,
- 36:09Speaker 3: I think is unrealistic. So for me, like, I am
- 36:13Speaker 3: not expecting a repeat Super Bowl championship. Of course I wanted,
- 36:16Speaker 3: but when it comes to expectations like super Bowl or bus,
- 36:19Speaker 3: I can't live in that world with how good the
- 36:22Speaker 3: Rams are, Yeah, I.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Just to me, I I think the Seahawks are a
- 36:30Speaker 2: still step above the Rams, and I do think that
- 36:32Speaker 2: they're so close it is close. I agree with you
- 36:34Speaker 2: on that, and they got better, I will say, but
- 36:37Speaker 2: I think the Seahawks had a better draft than the
- 36:38Speaker 2: Rams did, especially considering they use their first round pick on,
- 36:43Speaker 2: you know, a quarterback. And Ian mentioned this yesterday. He
- 36:47Speaker 2: has questions on the health of Matthew Stafford at this point.
- 36:49Speaker 2: So you're you're one kind of bad play away from
- 36:52Speaker 2: relying on Ty Simpson in a in a you know,
- 36:55Speaker 2: super Bowl or bust year, as the Rams are in
- 36:57Speaker 2: right now. So I think in terms of just looking
- 37:00Speaker 2: at your division, the Seahawks are still a step above
- 37:02Speaker 2: the Rams. They are in the same category, but they
- 37:04Speaker 2: should be a step above them. And regarding the kind
- 37:08Speaker 2: of changes, because I think Dante Fowler there's a reasonable
- 37:12Speaker 2: expectation that he could be better than boy Mafe. I'm
- 37:14Speaker 2: not saying he will be, but I think he will be.
- 37:18Speaker 2: I think that is a big, big hope had two
- 37:22Speaker 2: sacks last year, yeah, boy MafA the previous year. I mean,
- 37:25Speaker 2: you look at the career of boy A Mafey and
- 37:27Speaker 2: like Fowler is currently right now on the decline of
- 37:30Speaker 2: his career, he's very much on the back end of it.
- 37:33Speaker 2: I think boy Mafe, I don't know if you can
- 37:34Speaker 2: say he's on the back end of it. I think
- 37:36Speaker 2: he's still in the middle of it.
- 37:37Speaker 3: And I mean, Fowler can be a good role player, yeah,
- 37:41Speaker 3: but I don't think he can have the impact of
- 37:43Speaker 3: a boy A Mafey. Especially going back to twenty twenty four.
- 37:46Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we thought DeMarcus Lawrence is in the back
- 37:48Speaker 2: half of his career when he signed him.
- 37:50Speaker 4: Resurgence with this team under Mike McDonald from certain players.
- 37:54Speaker 2: What if de Marcus Lawrence do the year, not much
- 37:58Speaker 2: before we signed I know before signed him, he didn't
- 38:00Speaker 2: it was very Dante salary.
- 38:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 38:03Speaker 3: So the year, the last year he had Dallas. You know,
- 38:04Speaker 3: he was hurt, he had that major injury. But in
- 38:07Speaker 3: those four games.
- 38:09Speaker 6: He had one of the scene this is terrible radio.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Three sax and four games, three saxon, four games before
- 38:16Speaker 3: getting hurt.
- 38:16Speaker 6: That's pretty darn good numbers.
- 38:18Speaker 3: And in the previous two years he played seventeen games
- 38:21Speaker 3: in back to back years.
- 38:22Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, he was older, but I think it's.
- 38:24Speaker 3: Still clear to say that that he was he was
- 38:27Speaker 3: still a.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Very good player. Yeah, it's it's there's a lot to
- 38:30Speaker 2: you know, think about. I do think the Walker to
- 38:33Speaker 2: Price probably is a downgrade, but we'll kind of talk
- 38:35Speaker 2: about that a little bit more as we move on.
- 38:38Speaker 6: We're hearing the.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Music because that's the producer apd jest letting us know
- 38:42Speaker 2: that it's time to get out of here because we're
- 38:43Speaker 2: going to talk to Christian Gold. Yes, no, it's great,
- 38:47Speaker 2: We're gonna talk Christian rold on next segment. I'm excited
- 38:49Speaker 2: for this one. After a huge Sounders win, talking World

- 39:35Speaker 2: time in his career with a right oblique strain.
- 39:37Speaker 3: Seattle Sounders with a win last night at lumin Field
- 39:40Speaker 3: three to two over what was the best team in
- 39:43Speaker 3: all of MLS, San Jose Christian World Don Sounders midfielders
- 39:47Speaker 3: soon to be on the United States national team for
- 39:49Speaker 3: the World Cup and join us here in a few minutes.
- 39:51Speaker 2: In the NHL, the Oilers fire their head coach Chris
- 39:53Speaker 2: Knoblock after two Cup Final runs in the last two years.
- 39:56Speaker 2: They were eliminated in the first round this year, and
- 39:58Speaker 2: the Colorado Avalanche over come a three zero deficit to
- 40:01Speaker 2: beat Minnesota at home in OT four to three and
- 40:05Speaker 2: win the series.
- 40:07Speaker 3: Dave Softie Mahler is all over our NFL schedule, ELEASA.
- 40:11Speaker 3: The full thing would come out at five pm, but
- 40:12Speaker 3: he is sent out that he believes there are seven
- 40:15Speaker 3: primetime games for the Seahawks that they'll be scheduled for
- 40:18Speaker 3: Peggy Chopper nine to fifty Week one against the Patriots,
- 40:21Speaker 3: Week six at Denver, Week seven against Kansas City, Week
- 40:25Speaker 3: eight against Chicago, Week thirteen against Dallas, Week fifteen at Philadelphia,
- 40:29Speaker 3: and at home Christmas Night against the La Rams.
- 40:33Speaker 6: That from Chopper nine fifty Dave Softy Maller.
- 40:35Speaker 2: In golf, South Africa's Garrick he Go Higo was penalized
- 40:38Speaker 2: two strokes for being late to his Thursday morning tea
- 40:41Speaker 2: time in the first round of the one hundred and
- 40:42Speaker 2: eighth PGA Championship at a ron Mink Golf Club. There's
- 40:47Speaker 2: a couple of mince pronunciations there, I'm sure, but it's golf.
- 40:50Speaker 2: So but he's still even with that two stroke penalty,
- 40:54Speaker 2: he's only two shots behind the lead right now, So
- 40:55Speaker 2: good for him for kind of bouncing back and even
- 40:57Speaker 2: though he was late to his tea time. But you
- 40:59Speaker 2: could also think about it, if you should up on time,
- 41:01Speaker 2: he'd be tied for the lead. So okay, let's get
- 41:04Speaker 2: to it. We're waiting to be joined by Christian rolldon
- 41:08Speaker 2: you know, midfielder for the Seattle Sounders. Super excited to
- 41:13Speaker 2: have him on to talk. Talked about the game last night, Jackson,
- 41:16Speaker 2: you were in the building, talked about the upcoming World Cup.
- 41:19Speaker 2: I think he has a really good shot to make
- 41:21Speaker 2: this roster.
- 41:22Speaker 6: What about you? You think, what are the.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Chances you think he is able to, you know, represent
- 41:27Speaker 2: the US men's national team.
- 41:28Speaker 3: In the world I think at this moment right now,
- 41:30Speaker 3: it's ninety nine barring an injury, because there's another player
- 41:34Speaker 3: who plays over in Europe and Cardoso, Johnny Cardon cards
- 41:40Speaker 3: and Cardoso just got injured with a major injury earlier
- 41:44Speaker 3: this week, and with that or guess last week, and
- 41:47Speaker 3: with that injury, he was going to be battling for
- 41:49Speaker 3: Christian for that I think final midfield spot. With his injury,
- 41:53Speaker 3: I think it pretty much assures that Christian Roldan is
- 41:57Speaker 3: going to be in the World Cup roster. It is
- 42:00Speaker 3: interesting Anders before we get Christian on. Yeah, I just
- 42:02Speaker 3: got an email that I've never gotten before.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Oh it's uh, I don't click any links, I know, right,
- 42:09Speaker 2: I don't. I think this is a legitimate security It
- 42:12Speaker 2: comes from a reply atfanmail dot Timbers dot com. Oh
- 42:17Speaker 2: my god.
- 42:18Speaker 11: What But for some reason, I don't you're on the
- 42:20Speaker 11: Timbers fan list. Never Jackson, never gotten an email for
- 42:24Speaker 11: Rod for Rod as the voice of the Sounders. Here,
- 42:27Speaker 11: you're on the Timbers email sens my work email too.
- 42:31Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you, thank you, Jess. I don't know.
- 42:33Speaker 2: This is great news.
- 42:34Speaker 6: I've never gotten an email.
- 42:36Speaker 2: I'm telling Christian this. By the way, I hope you
- 42:37Speaker 2: know that.
- 42:38Speaker 3: I've never gotten an email from the Portland Timbers and
- 42:41Speaker 3: they just emailed me to enjoy fifteen percent off concessions
- 42:46Speaker 3: for their game coming up on May San Jose. I
- 42:50Speaker 3: would just say, Portland, why would you send this email
- 42:52Speaker 3: to out Nobody wants to go watch a crap organization
- 42:55Speaker 3: with a crap team who isn't in the playoffs right now?
- 42:57Speaker 7: There we let's tell you really.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Yeah, jeez, he's just discussed he's trying to make up
- 43:02Speaker 2: for being on their list.
- 43:03Speaker 6: So I've never gotten work before. This is wild.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Okay, that's uh.
- 43:08Speaker 6: I said, it's my work email too. I think I
- 43:11Speaker 6: got hacked.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Somebody went into my work email and signed up for
- 43:14Speaker 2: their newsletter.
- 43:15Speaker 4: You know what, if you left a laptop open, I
- 43:17Speaker 4: could see you know why one in this organization sales staff.
- 43:20Speaker 2: I think I know exactly. Matthew Hobbs, I know it
- 43:24Speaker 2: was you. I know my computer was open. I know
- 43:27Speaker 2: what you did. Yeah, I see. I My fishy scent
- 43:30Speaker 2: is for rich Strauss, that that guy's always involved in
- 43:32Speaker 2: something that wherever there's something that we didn't expect to happen.
- 43:36Speaker 3: It's it's a Rich Streuss. I didn't know if he's
- 43:38Speaker 3: a soccer guy team, Yeah, I could. I could see
- 43:40Speaker 3: that being. I think somebody went up and did that
- 43:43Speaker 3: for me. So now I the process of unsubscribing to
- 43:46Speaker 3: emails is one of the worst things to have to
- 43:49Speaker 3: do in life.
- 43:50Speaker 6: It's like, you know, doing.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Laundry, unloading the dishwasher, all those things. I think unsubscribing
- 43:55Speaker 3: to emails places that you don't want has to be
- 44:00Speaker 3: for me maybe the number one annoyance.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Well, we're waiting for Christian to get done with practice.
- 44:05Speaker 2: He's probably doing some stretches right now. Got to get
- 44:07Speaker 2: let him get those in there, make sure he stays healthy.
- 44:09Speaker 2: We don't want him to be the next injury for
- 44:12Speaker 2: the both the Sounders and the US men's national team.
- 44:15Speaker 2: And I'm hearing we have Christian rolled on with us.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Super excited to talk to a Sounders captain, a US
- 44:22Speaker 2: men's national team hopeful after a huge win last night,
- 44:24Speaker 2: Christian rolled on welcome. How are you doing man, I'm
- 44:28Speaker 2: doing great.
- 44:29Speaker 12: How about yourself?
- 44:31Speaker 6: Of course?
- 44:31Speaker 2: Yeah, we're super excited to have you on. Just I
- 44:34Speaker 2: got Jackson Feltz with me. I'm sure you've talked with
- 44:36Speaker 2: him loads of times, but it's probably getting tiring at
- 44:39Speaker 2: this point. Huh.
- 44:41Speaker 12: I think he's tired of me.
- 44:44Speaker 2: I don't know about that one. You guys had a
- 44:46Speaker 2: huge win last night against San Jose man and they've
- 44:50Speaker 2: been kind of just you know, lighting the world on
- 44:52Speaker 2: fire in the early season here in the MLS. Just
- 44:55Speaker 2: talk about, you know, kind of the up and down
- 44:57Speaker 2: nature of that game and how you guys were able
- 44:59Speaker 2: to pull that one out.
- 45:03Speaker 12: Yeah, I think from a neutral fans standpoint, I think
- 45:06Speaker 12: it was a fun game to watch. If you're a
- 45:09Speaker 12: Sounders fan, it is probably a frustrating game to watch,
- 45:12Speaker 12: and if it was if you were a San Jose fan,
- 45:14Speaker 12: it was even more frustrating to watch the back and forth,
- 45:19Speaker 12: the amount of chances that we had, you know, it
- 45:24Speaker 12: was exciting, It was exciting football, but definitely stressful if
- 45:28Speaker 12: you're a Sounders fan. And so all in all, it
- 45:31Speaker 12: was great to get a win against a team that's
- 45:36Speaker 12: higher than us in the standings, and it gets us
- 45:39Speaker 12: a lot closer to them, and so it really gives
- 45:42Speaker 12: us a good chance at continuing on this this home
- 45:47Speaker 12: stretch and hopefully getting more results in the near future.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Christian, there was a play last night by Heyesus Ferrera
- 45:53Speaker 3: in the fifty fifth minute where he picks off a
- 45:56Speaker 3: ball and he goes seventy five yards down the field.
- 45:59Speaker 3: Juice outed defender puts it in the back of the
- 46:01Speaker 3: net for a goal that gives you guys a two
- 46:03Speaker 3: to one lead. You were on the field about four
- 46:07Speaker 3: five years ago when Jule Paula went about eighty five
- 46:10Speaker 3: yards through all of Colorado's defense. He ran by For
- 46:14Speaker 3: everybody out there, this is like Marshawn Lynch beastmode one
- 46:17Speaker 3: point zero where he runs through seven defenders. You know,
- 46:20Speaker 3: Mett Christian, you remember that play last night. Hasis Ford
- 46:23Speaker 3: has a similar play. It's kind of like beasts Quick
- 46:25Speaker 3: two point zero. Take us through watching that play last night,
- 46:29Speaker 3: watching a guy essentially take over the entire field and
- 46:33Speaker 3: go and score.
- 46:36Speaker 12: Yeah, it was fun to watch. I had a great
- 46:37Speaker 12: view of it, was right behind Hissus and he did
- 46:42Speaker 12: a really good job of picking off the ball. He
- 46:45Speaker 12: anticipated that Roberts was going to play it down his
- 46:49Speaker 12: left side and he did a good job picking up
- 46:52Speaker 12: that ball and then he saw all this space and
- 46:55Speaker 12: to his credit, he was very direct. His mind was
- 46:58Speaker 12: made up. And you know his skill set is you
- 47:06Speaker 12: know all about his technical ability, his ability to play
- 47:09Speaker 12: in type spaces and in the box, being able to
- 47:12Speaker 12: shift the centers back and forth. And credit to him
- 47:14Speaker 12: for putting the ball in the back of the net.
- 47:16Speaker 12: But what a what an individual goal. I mean, so
- 47:19Speaker 12: proud of him because you know, it's it's hard to
- 47:23Speaker 12: live up to expectations and he's doing that.
- 47:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Christian roll Don Sounders captain, joining Anderson Hurst and Jackson
- 47:30Speaker 2: Feltz here on ninety three point three KJRFM. Christian, I
- 47:34Speaker 2: know you talked about the kind of back and forth
- 47:35Speaker 2: nature of the game and the kind of how exciting
- 47:37Speaker 2: it was from the neutral yesterday. It seems like Schmidtz
- 47:41Speaker 2: from the outside looking in, wants maybe a little bit
- 47:44Speaker 2: more structured of a game sometimes. But you also were
- 47:46Speaker 2: going up against one of the best offensive teams in
- 47:48Speaker 2: the league. How do you balance like wanting the game
- 47:51Speaker 2: sometimes to you know, be a little bit more like
- 47:54Speaker 2: I said, structured and defensively kind of sound, but also
- 47:59Speaker 2: being up being able to go up against one of
- 48:01Speaker 2: the best offenses and kind of outduele them in that
- 48:04Speaker 2: type of game. So what was the tone in the
- 48:06Speaker 2: locker room last night while getting the win but also
- 48:09Speaker 2: maybe doing it in a different way than you guys
- 48:10Speaker 2: normally do.
- 48:14Speaker 12: Yeah, I think structure and it's very important to the
- 48:17Speaker 12: way we want to play. We want to be we
- 48:19Speaker 12: want to impose our will, we want to control the game,
- 48:24Speaker 12: and against good teams that sometimes they'll impose their will
- 48:27Speaker 12: and at times that they'll play a little bit more open,
- 48:31Speaker 12: which causes a lot more chances to happen and higher
- 48:35Speaker 12: score lines. And so you know, it's a balance, right,
- 48:39Speaker 12: Sometimes you don't want to play like the opponent. You
- 48:42Speaker 12: want to stick to your own style, but at times
- 48:46Speaker 12: when there's a lot of space, you just got to
- 48:47Speaker 12: take advantage of it. And so in the last two games,
- 48:50Speaker 12: there's been a lot of chances and we just need
- 48:54Speaker 12: to capitalize on those chances. But you know, sometimes when
- 48:57Speaker 12: when you play teams like San Jose or Vancouver. They're
- 49:00Speaker 12: trying to impose their will on us, and you know,
- 49:04Speaker 12: we have to also respect that and make sure that
- 49:07Speaker 12: we're sharp in different phases of the game.
- 49:12Speaker 3: Christian, we are twenty nine days away from USA Paraguay
- 49:16Speaker 3: in the first in the United States game in the
- 49:18Speaker 3: World Cup. It's just us here, it's just the three
- 49:21Speaker 3: of us.
- 49:21Speaker 6: We're just hanging out. We're just talking.
- 49:23Speaker 3: Any call from Risio Pochettino on your status with the
- 49:27Speaker 3: United States roster.
- 49:30Speaker 12: I hope so not yet. I think that the rosters
- 49:37Speaker 12: will get announced later next week, and so I'm hopeful
- 49:41Speaker 12: of that I'm on that roster. But until then, I
- 49:44Speaker 12: have to wait patiently like everybody else.
- 49:46Speaker 3: Well, when Christian, when you see the injury to Johnny
- 49:49Speaker 3: Cardoso happen and know that that's the kind of a
- 49:52Speaker 3: similar spot that you guys are being on for the
- 49:56Speaker 3: World Cup roster, what are the emotions of seeing a
- 50:00Speaker 3: teammate with you the United States go down, knowing it
- 50:03Speaker 3: might mean a better chance of you being on the
- 50:05Speaker 3: World Cup roster.
- 50:05Speaker 6: How do you work with those emotions?
- 50:09Speaker 12: I mean, it's still difficult. Right when I think of
- 50:13Speaker 12: Johnny Cardo. So I think of the human side, right,
- 50:17Speaker 12: this guy is so nice, He's always been so great
- 50:20Speaker 12: to me. I think we've had an awesome relationship. And yeah,
- 50:25Speaker 12: we're competing, you know, that's part of the sport, that's
- 50:27Speaker 12: part of the profession that we play. But we never
- 50:31Speaker 12: want to see injuries in the sport. We want to
- 50:33Speaker 12: see guys healthy. We know how difficult it is to rehab,
- 50:36Speaker 12: we know how difficult it is to be on the sideline.
- 50:40Speaker 12: So for me, it's just devastated to see him lose
- 50:44Speaker 12: his chances of going to a World Cup. And obviously,
- 50:48Speaker 12: right we're competing, and I might have a better shot
- 50:51Speaker 12: because of it, but I never want to see that
- 50:54Speaker 12: in the sport. And I hope he has a speedy recovery.
- 50:57Speaker 2: Yeah, especially something like you know when it's like, oh, well,
- 51:00Speaker 2: there's always next year, sometimes there isn't, first of all,
- 51:03Speaker 2: but second of all, it's not next year, it's in
- 51:05Speaker 2: another four years. So it's one of those situations where
- 51:07Speaker 2: it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot
- 51:09Speaker 2: of people. So, but Christian, you mentioned kind of all
- 51:12Speaker 2: the emotions regarding you know, the World Cup roster and
- 51:14Speaker 2: everything one more quick one for you? How do you
- 51:17Speaker 2: balance that while still having two MLS games before the break.
- 51:20Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a lot of you know, angst in
- 51:21Speaker 2: the locker room, and there's a lot of guys that are,
- 51:24Speaker 2: you know, looking and waiting to see if they're going
- 51:25Speaker 2: to be a part of this huge deal here in
- 51:28Speaker 2: less than thirty days, including yourself. How do you guys
- 51:32Speaker 2: continue to stay focused and finish out the last two
- 51:35Speaker 2: games before this break.
- 51:39Speaker 12: Yeah, it's not easy to be honest, right, There's a
- 51:41Speaker 12: lot of emotions tied into going to the World Cup,
- 51:44Speaker 12: and you know, you dream of this as a kid,
- 51:47Speaker 12: and now that you're you know, less than thirty days away,
- 51:52Speaker 12: you have a bigger opportunity at stake. But I think
- 51:57Speaker 12: in the back of my mind, I always think, I
- 51:59Speaker 12: owe always say that if I played well with the Sounders,
- 52:03Speaker 12: I give myself the best chance of going to the
- 52:04Speaker 12: World Cup. And so it really starts with Sounders first,
- 52:08Speaker 12: and I have to have that as my priority, even
- 52:12Speaker 12: though right the dream of going to a World Cup
- 52:15Speaker 12: is something that's been on my mind since I was little,
- 52:19Speaker 12: and so priority is Sounders. Priority is playing well here,
- 52:23Speaker 12: and then that gives me the best shot of making
- 52:25Speaker 12: that World Cup squad.
- 52:26Speaker 2: Christian, did you check out what happened yesterday the news
- 52:29Speaker 2: of the Soccer Celebration festival and the barge that's going
- 52:33Speaker 2: to go on the Seattle waterfront for fans out there
- 52:37Speaker 2: for the World Cup.
- 52:37Speaker 6: How cool is that thing? Yeah?
- 52:41Speaker 12: I think it's so cool. It's a once in a
- 52:43Speaker 12: lifetime opportunity. What an event being thrown by, you know, Seattle.
- 52:49Speaker 12: I think it's going to be one of the best
- 52:52Speaker 12: places in the world in the United States to be
- 52:59Speaker 12: able to watch a game. I think it's it's a
- 53:02Speaker 12: way for us to show what Seattle is all about
- 53:04Speaker 12: as well. I think that this city is very much
- 53:08Speaker 12: underrated around the world, and this is a great opportunity
- 53:12Speaker 12: for us to show how proud we are of sports
- 53:18Speaker 12: and what it means to us as a city.
- 53:20Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 53:21Speaker 2: I think. I just think of my experience watching World
- 53:23Speaker 2: Cups from the past in my lifetime and seeing all
- 53:26Speaker 2: these watch parties on TV with giant screens, and it's
- 53:28Speaker 2: so cool to think that there's gonna be one of
- 53:30Speaker 2: those in Seattle, and it's just it's going to be
- 53:33Speaker 2: so cool. I'm totally going so excited for that one, Christian,
- 53:36Speaker 2: we really appreciate you taking some time out of your
- 53:39Speaker 2: day to spend some time with us, So thanks so much.
- 53:41Speaker 2: Good luck in the last couple of games before the
- 53:43Speaker 2: World Cup break, and I hope I see you on
- 53:44Speaker 2: the roster man.
- 53:45Speaker 12: Thanks, thanks buddy, Thanks guys much appreciate it.
- 53:49Speaker 2: That's Christian roll Don from the Seattle Sounders. Excuse me, sorry,
- 53:53Speaker 2: great kind of candidness from him speaking about how you know,
- 53:58Speaker 2: it's easy to say, oh, you know, I got to
- 53:59Speaker 2: focus on these two games and not even thinking about
- 54:01Speaker 2: the World Cup, but it's obvious he's thinking about that,
- 54:03Speaker 2: right yeah, And I love how he kind of shares
- 54:05Speaker 2: that with all of us here. Let's take a quick break.

- 58:53Speaker 17: Law explains that even the most common injuries differ from
- 58:56Speaker 17: one another.
- 58:56Speaker 21: Pre existing conditions, health history, beginning of te treatment. There
- 59:00Speaker 21: are hundreds of factors that make every person and every
- 59:03Speaker 21: injury unique. While these variables aid medical treatment, the strongest
- 59:08Speaker 21: case recoveries must also take them into account.
- 59:10Speaker 6: Could you explain a little bit more.
- 59:12Speaker 21: Our team at Pendergas Law is obsessed with turning over
- 59:15Speaker 21: every stone to differentiate each case. This requires thorough investigation,
- 59:19Speaker 21: diligent listening, and relentless research. We never pursue cases with
- 59:23Speaker 21: a one size fits all approach. We built our success
- 59:26Speaker 21: by treating every injury and every case with the individualized
- 59:30Speaker 21: attention our client's need and deserve.
- 59:32Speaker 17: Pedergas Law's individualized approach to even the most common injuries
- 59:36Speaker 17: makes the difference in case outcomes. It's another reason why
- 59:40Speaker 17: I can't recommend them enough.

- 59:58Speaker 6: you could be lowered to stosterone?
- 59:59Speaker 9: What do you mean?
- 1:00:00Speaker 8: I was feeling the same way after forty. The body

- 1:02:08Speaker 2: to speak, the primetime games, who the Seahawks are playing first,
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: Emerald City, Spectrum consigliere, so to speak. Corvett Smith is
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: joining us. Corbyn, my guy, how's it going?
- 1:02:19Speaker 9: Man?
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Oh okay, never mind me just moment, so just a second,
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: but we got him now. It sounds like, yeah, so Corvin,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: what's up?
- 1:02:29Speaker 12: Man?
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: How are you?
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Thanks for joining the show?
- 1:02:31Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks for having me. Guys appreciate it.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: Happy schedule day, Happy scheduled day.
- 1:02:36Speaker 6: Indeed.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: Yeah, just in general, before we get into the nitty
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: gritty with the schedule here, how much should Seahawks fans
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: care about this. How much do you care about this
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: as someone who you know is covering the team every
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: single day. I know it's great to have content, but uh,
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: you know, as someone who kind of is down in
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: the nitty gritty a beat reporter, but also you know
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: rights for Emerald City Spectrum does your locked onn Seahawks
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: stuff as well? Uh, we know the Seahawks opponents are
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: this is all just about the timing of when it's
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: all happening, and then maybe some timing of the games
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: as well. How big of a deal is this, you know,
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: with for the Seahawks fan as we kind of are
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: kind of releasing game by game all of these leaks
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: and everything.
- 1:03:20Speaker 24: You know, any beat reporter that says that this day
- 1:03:23Speaker 24: is overblown and there's too much attention that's brought to
- 1:03:28Speaker 24: it or whatever, like you're in the wrong job.
- 1:03:32Speaker 9: Like I'm like this, this is one of the holidays
- 1:03:35Speaker 9: as an NFL beat reporter. Look, I'm like, I'm a nerd.
- 1:03:38Speaker 24: Like I love once the games start coming out, when
- 1:03:41Speaker 24: the leaks start coming out, I like, I have a
- 1:03:43Speaker 24: spreadsheet and I literally keep tabs on. Okay, this team
- 1:03:47Speaker 24: is playing that team this week, so we can eliminate them.
- 1:03:50Speaker 24: They're not going to be playing the Seahawks this week.
- 1:03:52Speaker 9: And like I'm a nerd. I think it's really fun.
- 1:03:55Speaker 24: And once you get past the nitty gritty of actually
- 1:03:58Speaker 24: getting like once you start seeing to schedule come together,
- 1:04:00Speaker 24: you can start to figure out, Okay, what are some
- 1:04:02Speaker 24: of the toughest stretches. Are there gonna be some hot
- 1:04:04Speaker 24: home games early on? Are there gonna be some cold
- 1:04:07Speaker 24: winter games late? How many primetime games do you get?
- 1:04:11Speaker 24: How many of those are at home? Like, like these
- 1:04:13Speaker 24: things matter, Like I just I laugh when there's beat
- 1:04:16Speaker 24: reporters like I said to say, like, well, why are
- 1:04:18Speaker 24: we making such a big deal It's just a stupid schedule.
- 1:04:20Speaker 9: No, it's not a stupid schedule.
- 1:04:22Speaker 24: This is this is significant, like I think, and I
- 1:04:24Speaker 24: think it's silly that people are trying to push back
- 1:04:27Speaker 24: against it. Like you're an NFL fan, of course you
- 1:04:29Speaker 24: we love scheduled the Yeah.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: And as a fellow nerd, having you say I'm a
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: nerd twice in one answer just warms my heart.
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: Cord Nerd Nerds unite, right, I mean I just spent
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: I just spent my birthday night watching Star Trek and
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: that was how I wanted to spend it with the
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: Kiel and Star Treks. Go, let's go Carbon Hay, how's
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: going with Jackson? For what it's wal, I mean, I
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: love I love the the graphics that you put up
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: because it always says locked on and then the team
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: we're facing, so we can lock in exactly who the
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: opponents are. So I look at week one as your
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: graphic here at Corbyn Smith NFL where locked on the
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: Patriots Week one, and I think we anders and I
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: spent a bunch of time in the first hour kind
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: of talking about the mentality going into that game, specifically
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: being the first Super Bowl rematch in Week one since
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: Denver faced Carolina after Super Bowl fifty.
- 1:05:18Speaker 6: I'm really happy with it.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: I'm confident, and I think it's gonna be just such
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: a dominating performance. So I am positive about seeing the Patriots,
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: but I know there's a lot of people who aren't.
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: What say you about Patriots Week one?
- 1:05:32Speaker 24: I was really hoping it was gonna be the Bears
- 1:05:34Speaker 24: because I think that that would have been and it's
- 1:05:37Speaker 24: not taking anything away from New England. I think New
- 1:05:38Speaker 24: England's gonna be good again this year. I don't know
- 1:05:40Speaker 24: they'll be good enough to get back to the super Bowl.
- 1:05:42Speaker 24: But like, I think that is a very favorable matchup
- 1:05:46Speaker 24: for the Seahawks in Week one. I'm just kind of
- 1:05:48Speaker 24: surprised that the league went with this with what's going
- 1:05:51Speaker 24: on in the media with the New England Patriots.
- 1:05:53Speaker 9: But that kind of surprised me a little bit.
- 1:05:56Speaker 24: I thought Roger Cadell and the company might be like, look,
- 1:05:59Speaker 24: we need to try to like protect the shield, but
- 1:06:01Speaker 24: clearly they're not.
- 1:06:02Speaker 9: They do not care. Apparently, we're we're.
- 1:06:05Speaker 24: Gonna put the two teams that were the Super Bowl
- 1:06:07Speaker 24: against each other. We don't care what's going on in
- 1:06:09Speaker 24: New England with that situation. So, uh, I just look
- 1:06:12Speaker 24: at that opening schedule, mean, get the Patriots at home,
- 1:06:14Speaker 24: and then you play at Arizona week two, at the
- 1:06:18Speaker 24: Commander's week three. Uh, you got a really good chance
- 1:06:21Speaker 24: to go three and oh right out of the game
- 1:06:23Speaker 24: before you start getting into the much harder part of
- 1:06:25Speaker 24: the schedule once week four rids.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the NFL's leaning into the chaos, so to speak,
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: with the you know, the Mike Rabels situation there, it's like, hey,
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: more eyes on us, let's go even though it's already
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: though opening.
- 1:06:37Speaker 24: Game of the season might be a case anders like,
- 1:06:39Speaker 24: they're like, we let you guys off on so many things.
- 1:06:42Speaker 9: We're not gonna live.
- 1:06:43Speaker 6: It exactly exactly.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm thinking, too.
- 1:06:46Speaker 25: Well.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Seven primetime games is what's being widely reported. Are you
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: surprised it's that many? That's the max they can have?
- 1:06:54Speaker 24: No, I mean, you're gonna give the max to the
- 1:06:56Speaker 24: team that just won the Super Bowl and had ninety
- 1:06:59Speaker 24: five percent of its roster coming back, and the head
- 1:07:01Speaker 24: coach like, you're gonna you know, I made this argument
- 1:07:04Speaker 24: unlocked on Seahawks couple of days ago. I'm like, not
- 1:07:07Speaker 24: only do they need a bunch of primetime games, but
- 1:07:09Speaker 24: put them in Seattle, Like put them in Lumanfield, and
- 1:07:13Speaker 24: the NFL did that. You know, the vast majority of
- 1:07:16Speaker 24: these games are gonna be at Louman Field under the lights.
- 1:07:20Speaker 24: And I think one of the other prevailing storylines here
- 1:07:23Speaker 24: I'm writing up my takeaways the Chiefs the Bears, both
- 1:07:27Speaker 24: those games at home back to back weeks. You get
- 1:07:30Speaker 24: to welcome Ken Walker the third and Kobe Bryant back
- 1:07:32Speaker 24: in primetime to Loomanfield so they can see the banner
- 1:07:35Speaker 24: that they helped raise.
- 1:07:37Speaker 9: I just I just think it's really cool that that's
- 1:07:39Speaker 9: how that played.
- 1:07:39Speaker 6: Out, Corbyn.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: Two of the last three games are both against the Rams.
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: The way that I see that is it's a high risk,
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: high reward in those two teams facing off so close
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: towards the end of the season. It will also of
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: course likely have massive, massive stakes, and it correct me
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: if I'm wrong. Also, that final game, which is the
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: road game in Week eighteen, that timing is undecided again,
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: so that could theoretically, theoretically be an eighth primetime game
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: if that ends up going to that situation. I mean, anyway,
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: those those two or three games tend the season against
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: the Rams, that feels like quite interesting scheduling by the league.
- 1:08:24Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, guys.
- 1:08:27Speaker 24: Nothing drives me more insane when it comes to the
- 1:08:29Speaker 24: schedule than when the same two teams played twice in
- 1:08:32Speaker 24: the three weeks.
- 1:08:32Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:08:33Speaker 24: I know that sometimes it's unavoidable, but like this feels
- 1:08:38Speaker 24: like this was done on purpose, Like the NFL is like, look, yeah,
- 1:08:41Speaker 24: not only are we gonna have these two teams play
- 1:08:42Speaker 24: on Christmas Day, like we're also gonna, hey, two weeks
- 1:08:45Speaker 24: later with the end of the season. You know, this
- 1:08:48Speaker 24: is a great opportunity for them to have another feature game,
- 1:08:51Speaker 24: and of course it would be a primetime contest if
- 1:08:54Speaker 24: like the NFC West is up for grabs, gonna be
- 1:08:56Speaker 24: just like that forty nine Ers game in Week eighteen
- 1:08:58Speaker 24: last year.
- 1:08:59Speaker 9: So no, the league is playing the money game here.
- 1:09:02Speaker 24: Having those two matchups in the last three weeks, there's definitely.
- 1:09:06Speaker 9: Some method to the madness, not just a random selection.
- 1:09:10Speaker 9: More they're with the setting it up that way.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Corbin Smith from locked onn Seahawks and emald City
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: Spectrum joining US Sanderson Hurst, Jackson Fell's Jasman McIntyre in
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: for Ian Fornest today. And if you look at just
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: the back half of the schedule from week twelve on,
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: you got Niners. We all know they're gonna be up there,
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: at least in challenging for the NFC West crown, the
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Cowboys who everyone loves after their draft Giants, we'll see
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: what ends up happening. Eagles, I think are flying under
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: the radar. They're gonna be one of the best teams
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: in the NFC this year. Rams Panthers, Rams is your
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: last three weeks, so they're backloading a lot of the
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: tougher teams in this schedule. Corbyn, it just seems like,
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: you know, obviously you're playing a quote unquote first place
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: schedule again this year or not again for the this
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: year instead of last year where you weren't. So how
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: important is that last half of the season gonna be?
- 1:09:56Speaker 9: Yeah, you know that stretch where they have to play
- 1:09:59Speaker 9: the Cowboys.
- 1:09:59Speaker 24: I mean, I think the Giant I've already said this,
- 1:10:01Speaker 24: I believe, actually said it on our Squad show.
- 1:10:04Speaker 9: I think the Giants are going to be threatening for
- 1:10:05Speaker 9: a playoff spot. Wow, I really do. I think that
- 1:10:09Speaker 9: that team is. They're kind of where the Seahawks were a.
- 1:10:13Speaker 24: Few years ago in the sense that I'm like, look,
- 1:10:16Speaker 24: you've got a lot of really good young talent on
- 1:10:18Speaker 24: both sides of the ball.
- 1:10:20Speaker 9: They made a coaching change that they absolutely had to.
- 1:10:22Speaker 24: They've got John Harball coming in, so like, I don't
- 1:10:25Speaker 24: think that is an easy game. But any stretch in
- 1:10:27Speaker 24: Week fourteen, and then you got that road game against
- 1:10:30Speaker 24: the Eagles on a Saturday night, then you have a
- 1:10:32Speaker 24: short week Friday night playing the Rams. The Seahawks are
- 1:10:35Speaker 24: playing every day of the week this year except Tuesday.
- 1:10:39Speaker 24: That's just mind boggling to me. But that's the way
- 1:10:42Speaker 24: the NFL is now.
- 1:10:43Speaker 9: But yeah, even Carolina. Carolina was a playoff team last year,
- 1:10:46Speaker 9: and I think the Panthers are going to be better
- 1:10:48Speaker 9: this year.
- 1:10:49Speaker 24: That is the toughest stretch that they have in terms
- 1:10:52Speaker 24: of six straight games on this entire schedule. You could
- 1:10:56Speaker 24: look at Week four to Week eight being equally difficult
- 1:10:59Speaker 24: as well. We don't know what Week nine looks like.
- 1:11:01Speaker 24: Whether that's going to be the buy or that's going
- 1:11:03Speaker 24: to be the Cardinals home game. Those are the only
- 1:11:05Speaker 24: two options at this point, but those are the two
- 1:11:08Speaker 24: stretches that are the most daunting on this schedule. But
- 1:11:11Speaker 24: that one of the back end, having three out of
- 1:11:13Speaker 24: four road games to close out the year, that's not
- 1:11:16Speaker 24: the balance you were hoping for.
- 1:11:18Speaker 9: When you had more home games on the slate to
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: begin with this year.
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: Corbyn Smith locked on Seahawks Emerald City Spectrum, joining us
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: here on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Corbyn,
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: I want to ask you the same question that Anders
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: asked me in the last hour. Are you more of
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: a football game on Christmas Eve night type of guy?
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: Or or football game on Christmas Day?
- 1:11:39Speaker 6: Kind of guy.
- 1:11:41Speaker 9: You know, I would rather it be I'd rather it
- 1:11:44Speaker 9: be during the day.
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:11:46Speaker 24: It was speaking like from the family sense, I would
- 1:11:48Speaker 24: rather hang out with my family in the evening. You know,
- 1:11:52Speaker 24: That's the way that I view it. My wife would
- 1:11:54Speaker 24: view it differently, like I'm gonna go to bed early.
- 1:11:58Speaker 24: You can go watch Covery game or whatever. Like let's
- 1:12:02Speaker 24: open stockings in the morning and hang out the family
- 1:12:04Speaker 24: in the afternoon. So you know, everybody's got their preference.
- 1:12:06Speaker 24: I was hoping they weren't gonna have a Christmas Day game,
- 1:12:10Speaker 24: but you know, when you win Super.
- 1:12:12Speaker 9: Bowls, that's what happens.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: So I'm wondering how how it looks from a reporter
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: aspect where you spend you send Christmas morning with your
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: family and like all right, folks, it's it's nine two am.
- 1:12:23Speaker 6: See, uh gotta go to Lumenfield. Well you see it.
- 1:12:27Speaker 24: With my family, it wouldn't be like my family like
- 1:12:31Speaker 24: literally Christmas Day was like okay, what NBA game is
- 1:12:34Speaker 24: on or what NFL games are on?
- 1:12:36Speaker 9: Like we are basically just yeah, like the entire day
- 1:12:40Speaker 9: was dedicated to sports. Anyway. Yeah, that's just the way
- 1:12:43Speaker 9: it was. You know, my my wife's family is not
- 1:12:45Speaker 9: that way, So it's been kind of an adjustment there,
- 1:12:48Speaker 9: Like you have to work on Thanksgiving. Yeah, you know,
- 1:12:51Speaker 9: the Seahawks are playing things. You know, it is, it
- 1:12:54Speaker 9: is what it is.
- 1:12:55Speaker 24: It's it's it's one of the one of the few
- 1:12:57Speaker 24: negatives of the job. And I'm putting quot with it because,
- 1:13:00Speaker 24: like you know, it's still it's still fun.
- 1:13:02Speaker 9: It's still fun covering games.
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: Then, so you mentioned night versus day. What about the
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: day itself? Do you the twenty fourth versus the twenty fifth?
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: Which one of those two? You know, you could talk
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: from a reporter'spective or from a fan perspective, what the
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: Seahawks looks like it they're gonna have the Christmas Day game.
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: Would you rather that than the Christmas Eve game?
- 1:13:22Speaker 9: Yes, I would. Everybody's got their own differences. Like, honestly,
- 1:13:27Speaker 9: Christmas Eve is more important to me. My family does more.
- 1:13:31Speaker 9: We do cool stuff on Christmas Eve.
- 1:13:33Speaker 24: And honestly, traveling on Christmas Day, like I would feel
- 1:13:36Speaker 24: bad for the people that are working in the airports,
- 1:13:39Speaker 24: but like actual Christmas Day travel is typically not bad.
- 1:13:43Speaker 24: Christmas Eve is awful. The day after Christmas is awful. So, uh,
- 1:13:48Speaker 24: that's another reason that you know, you could make an argument,
- 1:13:51Speaker 24: well it was better to have a day game because
- 1:13:52Speaker 24: you might be able to get over to the airport
- 1:13:53Speaker 24: in the evening.
- 1:13:54Speaker 6: Will lay out.
- 1:13:56Speaker 24: There's there's all kinds of there's pros and cons to
- 1:13:59Speaker 24: all of these situations.
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and well, and as we're kind of looking
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: at the full schedule here, I know you already knew
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: what your opponents were. I know you kind of already
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: know I have a good idea of what your roster
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: is gonna look like. But now you can kind of see, Okay,
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: at this portion of the year, this is when the
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: tough part of the schedule is gonna be. You know,
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: then you play a division game here, whatever it is.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: How do you see this twenty twenty six season kind
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: of playing out for the Seahawks now that you can
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: kind of visualize it with the pieces of the schedule
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: kind of putting themselves into place a little bit here,
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: I asked Jackson earlier in the show, is it unrealistic
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: expectations to expect Super Bowl champions to get even better
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six than they were in twenty twenty five.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: Now that you kind of have the schedule and the roster,
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: with the draft and everything kind of in place.
- 1:14:48Speaker 24: Well, I'm gonna look, I'm making this prediction right now,
- 1:14:52Speaker 24: Anders I think the Seahawks starts six to zero.
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:14:55Speaker 24: I like the way that this schedule goes, because I
- 1:14:59Speaker 24: mentioned it. You have road games against the Cardinals and
- 1:15:01Speaker 24: Commanders week two, week three. I'm confident Seattle's gonna get
- 1:15:05Speaker 24: the job done in those games. Chargers are a really
- 1:15:08Speaker 24: good team, but you get to play them at home.
- 1:15:10Speaker 24: They've still got an offensive line they've retooled, but we'll
- 1:15:13Speaker 24: see if they can protect Justin Herbert.
- 1:15:15Speaker 9: I like Seattle. I like the Seahawks beating the forty
- 1:15:17Speaker 9: nine Ers this time around at Loominfield.
- 1:15:20Speaker 24: And Denver is a good team, but I think the
- 1:15:23Speaker 24: schedule is gonna hit them this year more than it's
- 1:15:25Speaker 24: gonna hit Seattle in terms of being a team that was.
- 1:15:28Speaker 9: You know, top seed last year.
- 1:15:31Speaker 24: I just I still have more questions with them, and
- 1:15:33Speaker 24: I think Seattle's gonna go to Denver and get the
- 1:15:35Speaker 24: job done at Thursday Night football. I think they start
- 1:15:38Speaker 24: six to oher The question is gonna be what do
- 1:15:40Speaker 24: they do in that back half of the schedule, because
- 1:15:42Speaker 24: that to me where you have a lot of those
- 1:15:44Speaker 24: road games against some really, really good football teams, you
- 1:15:48Speaker 24: have the two games against the Rams that's gonna dictate
- 1:15:50Speaker 24: whether they win this division or not, because you better
- 1:15:53Speaker 24: believe you're probably gonna need thirteen or fourteen wins to
- 1:15:56Speaker 24: win this division again with the Rams and the forty
- 1:15:58Speaker 24: nine ers being in the NFC West.
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: Yeah, Corbyn, I'm with you absolutely on that front. If
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: those six indeed playout like we we think they will
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: at five pm when the full schedules are released, Corbyn,
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: really quickly before we end. I haven't been able to
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: chat with you since the draft, and I remember hosting
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: that draft show on Saturday, and as the picks evolved,
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: I very much kind of was just tuned down. I
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: have the page open right now that I had the
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: page open on that Saturday Emerald City Spectrum dot com
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: of your final mock draft where you had Jendarian Price,
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: you had a trade up in the third round for
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: Julian Neil, and you had a trade up for both Stevens.
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: Quite impressive that you nailed all three of those players.
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: I'm most interested in Julian Neil though man and how
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: much of a one for one, we can expect him
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: to be at cornerback forreek one.
- 1:16:52Speaker 9: I think that, you know, we got a temper.
- 1:16:54Speaker 24: Expectations here because he really was a one year starter.
- 1:16:58Speaker 24: Now great is film a Arkansas is really good and
- 1:17:01Speaker 24: I love the physicality plays with I think he's a
- 1:17:04Speaker 24: different player, so expecting him to be a one to
- 1:17:07Speaker 24: one type sub Farik Woolan, you might end up getting
- 1:17:11Speaker 24: similar productivity in terms of how effective he is playing
- 1:17:13Speaker 24: this defense.
- 1:17:14Speaker 9: But he's gonna do it in different ways.
- 1:17:17Speaker 24: I think the tackling and the run defense he is
- 1:17:19Speaker 24: going to be an upgrade. The coverage is gonna be
- 1:17:21Speaker 24: the biggest curiosity for me. How does he handle shiftier,
- 1:17:25Speaker 24: quicker receivers In particular, I think he's got the speed
- 1:17:28Speaker 24: to run with guys downfield. How does he handle the
- 1:17:30Speaker 24: guys though they can get in out of their breaks
- 1:17:32Speaker 24: really quick and create separation fast. Is he gonna be
- 1:17:35Speaker 24: able to athletically deal with those kind of receivers. That's
- 1:17:39Speaker 24: gonna be to me, the biggest question mark and the
- 1:17:42Speaker 24: biggest teaching point that Mike McDonald his staff are going
- 1:17:45Speaker 24: to have with this kid. If they can check that
- 1:17:47Speaker 24: box off, he's got a chance to be a really
- 1:17:49Speaker 24: good starter in time. I just don't know that he's
- 1:17:51Speaker 24: gonna be a guy that's gonna play a lot of
- 1:17:53Speaker 24: snaps on defense.
- 1:17:54Speaker 9: As a rookie.
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: Corvin Smith, you're the man. Really appreciate you hopping on

- 1:18:41Speaker 2: That's Corvet Smith really appreciate him hopping on six and
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: not to start the season. That'll be a decent start
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: if that ends up being the case.
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's interesting to kind of look overall
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: at those weeks because from SAFI putting out their Week
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: seven Kansas City, Week eight Chicago. I mean, I'd be
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: interested to see kind of where that bye week falls.
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: But we're talking about a Seahawk team because that we
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: talked about the heaviness on the back end. Could we
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: see a nine and one, ten and one Seahawks team
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: that's bad, it be fun.
- 1:19:09Speaker 6: That's really maybe in the cards here, depending on where
- 1:19:11Speaker 6: it lines up.
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: Well, we'll kind of wait until the like you said,
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: the cards line up in terms of the schedule and
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: where everything falls into place. We'll do a quick daily

- 1:20:45Speaker 2: the Day Cup playoffs are fun to watch. If you
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: guys haven't caught that yet, I highly highly highly recommend
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: doing so. There's at least two fantastic series Sabers Canadians,
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: one of them Duck Scolden Knights. The other one there
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: was another one that I felt like could have been
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: a little bit better between the Wild and Avalanche. As
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: Ian has always said, probably the two best teams in
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: the NHL facing off the second round, but the Avalanche
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: closed that one out last night, and what was a
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: fantastic game. But I am kind of gonna phrase or frame,
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: excuse me this segment to someone who doesn't watch hockey
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: very much, and that's Jackson felt hibody. Yet I do
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: watch crack in Okay, it matters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: of course, you know, we gotta watch them crack and
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: when when they're in it and stuff. But during this time,
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: obviously you've got NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs beginning of MLB season.
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: You got Sounder season starting as well. Right, if you
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: were if say that it was a pretty light night,
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: Mariners are off, Sounders are off. You got NHL playoffs
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: and NBA playoffs. On of those two things, And if
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: you're like, I have to be watching sports tonight, gotta
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: have something on the TV. Which one of those two
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: are you more willing to.
- 1:22:00Speaker 6: Tak Yeah, it's it's NHL ten times out of ten.
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: Really, this comes from like, I think a little bit
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: of my soccer mentality here, to be honest, Yes, but
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: I think a lot of it comes out of you know,
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: in soccer, one moment can change everything, right, Goals change games.
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: One goal can change everything. You can win a game
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: one nothing. And hockey, as we know, is obviously a
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: lot like that. There is a little more.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: Scoring, higher scoring, but a little bit more scoring.
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: Yeah, but in the sense of one moment has such
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: a dramatic change, right, And the NBA, you know, okay,
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: you know you can get a dramatic moment if a
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: team has a ten er run. But in general, like
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: you know, if an NBA game has two minutes left
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: and it's within five I will turn it on in
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: that circumstance, but right now, like, I'm just not gonna
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: watch a full game of basketball. We don't have the Sonics.
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: My enthusiasm for the sport isn't there yet. Is it
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: an all time low for you?
- 1:22:53Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't say all time low.
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: My all time low would probably be I'd say about
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: five years ago. The host It was post Calves Warriors,
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: Calves Warriors was so much fun to watch in those years,
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: just back and forth, back and forth.
- 1:23:07Speaker 7: When was that fourteen?
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: That was like, yeah, twenty fifteen was the Warriors first title.
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: Sixteen was the three to one Warriors Calves that they
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: got back to back. Seventeen Warriors won, eighteen Warriors one, uh,
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: nineteen Warriors lost. So yeah, it was kind of the
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: So I kind of feel I kind of feel like
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: that was such an amazing back and forth where now
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: I mean.
- 1:23:29Speaker 7: And that was like Lebron's return to Cleveland.
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing Lebron versus Steph.
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: Yeah, it just kind of feels like, Okay, you know
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be. I mean, also, okay, see like
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: that just that just sucks.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: But they haven't lost a game yet in the playoffs.
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: They've gone through two series.
- 1:23:47Speaker 6: I didn't I didn't need to know that information discussed.
- 1:23:49Speaker 6: I didn't. I didn't need that.
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: Not even trying to like pump their tires or anything.
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: I'm just mentioning that they there's these series are just
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: blowouts in most cases now that all they're all so
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: is one of those instances. With the hockey. The Carolina
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: Hurricanes have also not lost a game in this iteration
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: of the playoffs. Yeah, they have swept two series as well,
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: probably the two teams I'm rooting for against the most
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: and they haven't lost. Funny how that works. But I
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: just find so much more entertainment in the NHL playoffs,
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: just because I think you've said it perfectly. One moment
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: can change everything. And I also like kind of the
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: changing of the guard that we're seeing in the NHL.
- 1:24:28Speaker 12: Now.
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: I realize the Avalanche have been good for a long time,
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: but they haven't gotten to this level in a while.
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: And we all know that the crack and beat them
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: a few years ago in the first round. But the
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: Sabers it's their first. They had the longest playoff drought
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: over any sports team in American sports, and they are
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: like the number one seed and they're in a battle
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: right now between them and the Canadians they play tonight.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: That's a four o'clock game. You got the Vegas Golden Knights, obviously,
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: who have won a title recently and have gone to
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: the playoffs almost every year in their existence. But then
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: they and I Ducks, who have been since twenty nineteen,
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: I want to say, and they are battling them hard.
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: I talked about in the headlines the Oilers, who have
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: had gone to back to back finals, got eliminated in
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: the first round. Fire their coach obviously, seems like a
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: changing of the guard on that front as well. So
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: I like seeing this new blood so to speak in
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: the NHL. And every series besides anyone that involves the
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: Carolina Hurricanes has been relatively close. So I liked kind
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: of everything that goes on with that. Like I said,
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: two games today, Canadian Sabers at four, Golden Knights Ducks
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: at six thirty. Two great games. If you haven't checked
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: it out, please do so, maybe Jackson, since you know
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: we got an early Mariners game today. No Sounders turn
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: that on a little bit. I don't know nothing going
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: on tonight, exactly. I got to catch up on Survivors.
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: That's good, catch one of those series.
- 1:25:47Speaker 9: Are you kidding?
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: The biggest Survivor person you will?
- 1:25:49Speaker 7: I just don't talk about it, so I don't listen
- 1:25:51Speaker 7: when other people.
- 1:25:52Speaker 6: I am so insanely obsessed with Survivor.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta get me on that. Let's go.
- 1:25:58Speaker 7: It's do they have like people like repeats coming back?
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: This is this is season fifty. Just I know the
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: entire the entire cast is repeat players, and it's that's
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: what I do. This is this is the peak of
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: Survivor going by right now. Right the real ones know
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: what I'm talking about.
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: The real one we get in a plane crash when
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: you and I are on a PJ, you know, like
- 1:26:20Speaker 4: because eventually we will get there.
- 1:26:22Speaker 6: You're talking about that movie with Rachel McAdam.
- 1:26:24Speaker 9: Yeah, that was so good.
- 1:26:26Speaker 6: It's on my list because it just came out on streaming. Yeah,
- 1:26:28Speaker 6: oh it's so good.
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, I got two Survivor buffs
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: over here that I just have no idea what's going on.
- 1:26:34Speaker 6: But that's okay.
- 1:26:35Speaker 7: I saw ads. He's okay, the movie sent he that's okay.
- 1:26:43Speaker 7: I'm saying, if he and I are on a plane
- 1:26:46Speaker 7: that goes down, I wouldn't know.
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: I wouldn't know, I couldn't play Survivor. I would not
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: be on the show. I would do terribly. In addition
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: to that, I would I couldn't survive on a deserted island. No,
- 1:26:55Speaker 3: I'm not the person to go to for either of
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: those things. I just watch it, really just lear and
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: if I go more than one night without watching a
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: new episode, it will probably destroy me.
- 1:27:06Speaker 9: Really.
- 1:27:06Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, Okay, well, hoppen my number one show.
- 1:27:09Speaker 4: I've ranked my undred person that does the things and
- 1:27:11Speaker 4: you give notes.
- 1:27:12Speaker 3: Hey go, I've ranked my one hundred and forty four
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: shows that I've ever seen fully Survivor is number one.
- 1:27:18Speaker 7: Wow, that's insane.
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: It's just not a reality.
- 1:27:20Speaker 7: I'm trying to rank those.
- 1:27:22Speaker 3: Oh, I've been doing it for the last now eighteen
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: years of my just every time you watch a show,
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: you added to the exactly it's an eighteen year thing
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: in the making.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: I honestly love that project. You need you need to

- 1:30:18Speaker 1: ask for yours today.
- 1:30:20Speaker 6: Now with Ian Here's Zeno.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: You know, we have a lot of really legendary opens
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: for a lot of our regular guests here on Sports
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. I gotta say Enos
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: with the picks of grips, a nerd with big league hair.
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: It might be one of my absolute favorites. So super
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: huge thanks to Georgetown Brewing. Wish I had a body's
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: off in my hand right now, but you know, might
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: have one in his hand. Thank you so much, EEno
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: Saris for joining us, Anderson Hurst Jackson Feltz here with
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: you filling in for inan fornest today. How are you
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: man doing good?
- 1:30:52Speaker 5: Thanks for letting me on.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: No problem, no problem at all. We are just eagerly
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: waiting the final of the Mariners Astros game. Here in
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: the bottom then it's two outs, eight to three lead
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: for the Mariners. But until we get to that point,
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit bigger picture stuff. We saw
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: Bryce Miller last night make his season debut in the
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: Mariner's rotation. Just from the stat cast perspective, how how
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: did it look? We kind of from all the things
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: that we want to see after coming off an injury
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: in your eyes, how did Bryce Miller start look?
- 1:31:25Speaker 5: I think the best thing was that his velo was
- 1:31:28Speaker 5: was good. It was up and he maintained it into
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: the start. You know, his fastball is his best pitch
- 1:31:34Speaker 5: and it was so important to him, so really great
- 1:31:38Speaker 5: to see him feeling healthy and keeping that velo up.
- 1:31:42Speaker 5: I think some of the other stuff will fall into place.
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: It always has with him, you know, like he's developed
- 1:31:47Speaker 5: these pitches one by one to add to the fastball,
- 1:31:50Speaker 5: and I woul wouldn't be surprised if it was a
- 1:31:53Speaker 5: little bit of a wrinkle going forward. That's a little
- 1:31:55Speaker 5: different than last year.
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: You know, Jackson here, good to chat with you for
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: the first time. I've a longtime lift listener. I appreciate
- 1:32:00Speaker 3: the chance to chat. On that note, we know that
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: the Mariners are switching to this six man rotation here
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: for least you know the near future with Luis Castillo,
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: who gets the win today. Now official, the Mariners got
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: went final eight to three win over the Astros.
- 1:32:16Speaker 6: Luise gets his first win today. So we are now
- 1:32:18Speaker 6: in this six man rotation.
- 1:32:20Speaker 3: And it's one I'm wondering because you know, we've had
- 1:32:23Speaker 3: on the afternoon Show with Softy and Dick, We've had
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: Brett Boone and Bill Krueger. They've given their two cents
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: on the six man rotations for you, and we're open.
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: Says a nerd, And I love a nerd who kind
- 1:32:34Speaker 3: of gets deep into the numbers here. What do the
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: numbers say about the positive or negative about six man
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: rotations in these days?
- 1:32:43Speaker 5: Yeah, there's obviously a benefit to each of the pictures
- 1:32:46Speaker 5: in the six man rotation. They get that extra day
- 1:32:48Speaker 5: of breath. And if you look historically, you know over
- 1:32:53Speaker 5: the history of baseball that benefit has been worth a
- 1:32:57Speaker 5: small amount. So let's say you know five ten points
- 1:33:01Speaker 5: of era, right, and so that's that's worth something. You
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: can add it all up and you get something. And
- 1:33:09Speaker 5: this is all theoretical, but let's say you get like
- 1:33:11Speaker 5: a half a win of benefits you know for the team.
- 1:33:15Speaker 5: If you do that well, you also get a detriment.
- 1:33:18Speaker 5: The detriment is that you're replacing some amount of starts
- 1:33:22Speaker 5: from Logan Gilbert and Brian wu with starts with from
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: Emerson Hancock and Luis Castillo. And you can look at
- 1:33:32Speaker 5: the gap between them and judge that mathematically and you
- 1:33:37Speaker 5: get a detriment that's about the same as the positive sign.
- 1:33:42Speaker 5: So mathematically speaking, there it's a wash. But that's not
- 1:33:49Speaker 5: capturing all of it. Because if you are a playoff
- 1:33:53Speaker 5: bound team, we know that every pitch and this is
- 1:33:56Speaker 5: from research that was done at Baseball Perspectus, we know
- 1:33:59Speaker 5: that every pitch that you throw over the course of
- 1:34:02Speaker 5: the season makes you worse. Yeah, that's a bit of
- 1:34:06Speaker 5: a metaphor for living exactly and uh, and so we
- 1:34:17Speaker 5: know that those extra those extra pitches make them worse
- 1:34:20Speaker 5: in October. So if you're a team that is, you know,
- 1:34:24Speaker 5: has their your your site set on September and October,
- 1:34:29Speaker 5: maybe you'll take a wash because you know, I personally
- 1:34:33Speaker 5: thought that Logan Gilbert looked pretty tired in Toronto, you know,
- 1:34:38Speaker 5: you know, the last start, and if he could be
- 1:34:42Speaker 5: you know, x percent less tired the next time he's
- 1:34:45Speaker 5: in that situation, I think you would give away a
- 1:34:49Speaker 5: couple of regular seasons starts to get that, you know.
- 1:34:52Speaker 5: So I think it's a wash, but it's a wash
- 1:34:55Speaker 5: in the direction that benefits a playoff bound team. And
- 1:34:58Speaker 5: so I think that's why if you look at what
- 1:35:00Speaker 5: the Dodgers have done, they've run a secret six man
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: rotation without declaring it as touch. They have given all
- 1:35:08Speaker 5: of their starters extra rest over the last few years,
- 1:35:11Speaker 5: just by calling guys up and sending guys down and
- 1:35:14Speaker 5: giving guys extra days the rest. They don't call a
- 1:35:17Speaker 5: six man, but that's what they've been doing for a while.
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. And you know, for regular listeners,
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: you've been on kind of on the six men rotation
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: for a long time, even before they announced it. So
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: and our other weekly Baseball guest that we have, Joe Sheen,
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: calls it the Dodgers vacation, by the way, So whenever
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: they do go on that that little bit of break
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: and sometimes the il stint means something, sometimes it doesn't
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: in terms of that. But you know, this did just
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: go fin Also, Jackson kind of mentioned it there when
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: talking about the six man The Mariners win three or
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: four in Houston. They're now seventeen and seven since the
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Alds when they of course got swept
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: against the Astros, against you know, against Houston. So what
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: is it like Houston's kind of come and down really hard.
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: It just seems like they're a much different team than
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: years past. Obviously they have a bunch of injuries, but
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: I think even if you put Carlos Korea in this lineup,
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: this team still is just not the same team as
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: we're used to seeing them being the last few years.
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: So what is it about Houston that is kind of
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: really bottoming them out right now?
- 1:36:19Speaker 5: I mean, the the overall I mean, and I hate
- 1:36:23Speaker 5: to say this as the nerds, I'm biased they've lost
- 1:36:27Speaker 5: a lot of nerds. Yeah, they really have. But you know,
- 1:36:35Speaker 5: we've seen an exodust. You know, ever since they they've
- 1:36:39Speaker 5: they've fired key people. They fired an AGM that was
- 1:36:43Speaker 5: had like a direct ear for their R and D department.
- 1:36:46Speaker 5: Once they did that, people that were in the R
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: and D department felt that their what their work wasn't
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: getting to the uh the general manager wasn't being heard,
- 1:36:55Speaker 5: wasn't being acted upon. And when they hired Dana Brown,
- 1:36:58Speaker 5: they hired him out of scouting. So there's been this
- 1:37:01Speaker 5: move away from R and D and towards scouting in
- 1:37:04Speaker 5: the front office. It's had some benefits. I mean, I
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: still like Cam Smith and think he'll be a good player.
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: That was a decent trade that they did. You know,
- 1:37:13Speaker 5: they still have good scouting and that's been a part
- 1:37:16Speaker 5: of their DNA. But the other part of their DNA
- 1:37:18Speaker 5: it's been there forever has been you know that they
- 1:37:21Speaker 5: are nerds, and they're one of the first teams that
- 1:37:24Speaker 5: put you know, high speed cameras and all of their
- 1:37:27Speaker 5: bullpens and all of the minor league things. They're the
- 1:37:30Speaker 5: first teams to leverage pitch movement, and they were the
- 1:37:34Speaker 5: first team to say, oh wow, high spin ry curveballs
- 1:37:37Speaker 5: are really good. Let's go get a bunch of those guys.
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: And they're not innovative in that way anymore. They have
- 1:37:42Speaker 5: a little bit of residue of success, so they have
- 1:37:44Speaker 5: some processes in place that are decent, but they aren't,
- 1:37:48Speaker 5: you know, innovating in a way that some of the
- 1:37:50Speaker 5: teams that really push the boundaries are. And they used
- 1:37:54Speaker 5: to be up there in terms of player development and
- 1:37:57Speaker 5: innovation and R and D with the Dodgers and Yankees,
- 1:38:00Speaker 5: I think they've been left behind. I think there are
- 1:38:01Speaker 5: other teams that are catching up in passing.
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite interesting a nerd saying that there's not
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: enough nerds in a team and that's why they're bad.
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: That's what I got from that conversation. But with that
- 1:38:12Speaker 2: in mind, you know how you kind of classify the
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: hierarchy in this American League. Obviously you have New York
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: and Tampa that kind of record wise are separating themselves
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: from the pack. But where do you kind of see
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: these teams. It seems like there's way more teams at
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: or around five hundred at this point in the year
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: May fourteenth than I can remember in at least years past.
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: Do you see it that way as well?
- 1:38:35Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean the I guess the joke right
- 1:38:38Speaker 5: now is that is that the American League is bad.
- 1:38:41Speaker 5: I don't know if I'll go that far, but it
- 1:38:46Speaker 5: is really packed together. And then while the National League
- 1:38:50Speaker 5: has a thirty game winner in the Brave, you know,
- 1:38:54Speaker 5: the American League doesn't have that yet. Even the Yankees
- 1:38:57Speaker 5: that were kind of the class of the league. Have
- 1:39:00Speaker 5: we left out to the lead They've they've fallen back
- 1:39:04Speaker 5: and so but you know, the flip side of that
- 1:39:06Speaker 5: is there's a lot of really tight races. You know.
- 1:39:09Speaker 5: In the AL Central, first and last are four games apart.
- 1:39:14Speaker 5: Even the AL West is only seven games apart. So
- 1:39:16Speaker 5: those are two of the tighter divisions in baseball. And
- 1:39:20Speaker 5: I think it's going to lead to some real fun
- 1:39:22Speaker 5: stuff down the stretch. I mean fun being nail biting
- 1:39:26Speaker 5: and stressful as a fan perhaps, but still fun generally
- 1:39:30Speaker 5: because even a team like the Askers who've fallen so
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: far behind, or the Royals and Twins, those teams are
- 1:39:37Speaker 5: not out of it yet. Even the Red Sox that
- 1:39:39Speaker 5: everyone's belly aching about the Red Sox, and you know,
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: I don't think they're that terrible of the team. So
- 1:39:45Speaker 5: I think that there's maybe been a little bit of
- 1:39:47Speaker 5: a race to the middle in the American League where
- 1:39:50Speaker 5: the wild card has led teams to think, you know,
- 1:39:54Speaker 5: a team like the Red Sox, they're not spending like
- 1:39:56Speaker 5: they used to and they used to spend to make
- 1:39:58Speaker 5: sure they could be with the Yankees, and instead they're thinking,
- 1:40:01Speaker 5: maybe we want to run our team like the Brewers,
- 1:40:03Speaker 5: and we want to know, not spend a lot of
- 1:40:05Speaker 5: money and being the wild card race every year and
- 1:40:09Speaker 5: maybe win the division in the great years. And so
- 1:40:11Speaker 5: I think there's a little bit of that going on
- 1:40:13Speaker 5: in the American League.
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: You know, Sarahs from the Athletic joining us here on
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. You know, the
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: other big big news that came out this morning cal Rawley,
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: for the first time in his career going to the
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: ten day IL with the right oblique strain. Obviously, we
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: all hope this time off is and to get right
- 1:40:33Speaker 3: is what gets him back on track. But I guess
- 1:40:36Speaker 3: I'm kind of wondering going into this IL stint what
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: the expectation should be coming out of it, and do
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: we expect to see the old cal Rawley or anything
- 1:40:47Speaker 3: like even the semblance of the twenty twenty five cal
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: Rawley and rather than what we've seen over these last
- 1:40:52Speaker 3: two weeks.
- 1:40:55Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he'll get right. I think the shower
- 1:40:58Speaker 5: probably helped him a little bit. You know, his bat
- 1:41:03Speaker 5: speed wasn't that far down, and you know he wasn't
- 1:41:06Speaker 5: that far off from having things click. I just think
- 1:41:09Speaker 5: he lives on the razor's edge a little bit.
- 1:41:11Speaker 24: You know.
- 1:41:11Speaker 5: One of the benefits, one of the things he does
- 1:41:14Speaker 5: more than anybody else in the league is he gets
- 1:41:15Speaker 5: the ball furthest out in front than anybody else in
- 1:41:18Speaker 5: the league. And so he gets it. So the ideal
- 1:41:21Speaker 5: point for powers around thirty six inches in front of
- 1:41:24Speaker 5: your center of mask. He gets it at thirty six
- 1:41:26Speaker 5: thirty seven inches, So he's getting in the ideal place
- 1:41:29Speaker 5: for power. But the ideal place for contact is thirty
- 1:41:33Speaker 5: thirty inches out in front. And so if you just
- 1:41:35Speaker 5: think about what it takes to get the ball that
- 1:41:38Speaker 5: far out in front, it means making decisions earlier. Now,
- 1:41:41Speaker 5: he has a great eye, and that's why it's you know,
- 1:41:43Speaker 5: it's good. But I think that when you do live
- 1:41:45Speaker 5: out there, you live there where pop ups can happen,
- 1:41:50Speaker 5: and so right now he's got sixty percent fly balls
- 1:41:52Speaker 5: and he's hitting too many pop ups. You live out
- 1:41:55Speaker 5: there where strikeouts can happen because you pull the trigger
- 1:41:57Speaker 5: too early, and you know his strikeout right is up.
- 1:41:59Speaker 5: So I'm not his hitting coach, and I'm not going
- 1:42:02Speaker 5: to tell him, oh, you need to go the other
- 1:42:04Speaker 5: way and let it travel. But it's an issue of
- 1:42:07Speaker 5: timing in other words, like it's an issue of a
- 1:42:10Speaker 5: half of inch of timing, a milliseconds of timing. So
- 1:42:14Speaker 5: you know, I think if anything, taking a break getting right,
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: which is this is a thing that's been bothering him.
- 1:42:19Speaker 5: He's been taking days off and obviously it's been bothering him.
- 1:42:23Speaker 5: So getting fully right in the body and then maybe
- 1:42:25Speaker 5: even just taking a few days off in terms of
- 1:42:28Speaker 5: not swinging and not looking at pitches and just starting
- 1:42:31Speaker 5: over a little bit, I think could be a real
- 1:42:33Speaker 5: great benefit.
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: Yeah, from one three true outcome guy to another three
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: true outcome guy in Munataka Murakami, who the mirrors just
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: saw as well. In Chicago, your colleague Sam Blum had
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: a great article regarding kind of, you know, his lower
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: interest level than expected in his free agency. But you know,
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: explain to me how a guy that you know is
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: known for hitting a lot of home runs. Yes, he
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: strikes out a lot, but he also walks a lot
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: in today's game where it seems like that's as valued
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: high than as it ever had. How did this guy
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: get overlooked by so many teams?
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: You know, my cap for him was Joey Gallo at
- 1:43:07Speaker 5: first base, and I don't I don't think I'm too
- 1:43:09Speaker 5: far off. You know, we're we're also getting him at
- 1:43:13Speaker 5: a perhaps a high point with a with a thirty
- 1:43:15Speaker 5: five percent strikeout rate that's been rising. You know, he
- 1:43:18Speaker 5: may hit ten two hundred the rest of the way,
- 1:43:22Speaker 5: and and so it may really look like Joey Gallow
- 1:43:24Speaker 5: at first base at the end. So if you think
- 1:43:26Speaker 5: about that, you know, not only did Joey Gallow get
- 1:43:29Speaker 5: you know, passed around a little bit, and he didn't
- 1:43:30Speaker 5: have the longest career, but you know, he had some
- 1:43:36Speaker 5: defensive value. So I'm just explaining why teams might have
- 1:43:39Speaker 5: passed on it, because you know, it's you know, like
- 1:43:43Speaker 5: teams are these days are kind of sticking a guy
- 1:43:45Speaker 5: at first. You know, they're not they're not necessarily like
- 1:43:48Speaker 5: even think about what, you know, what the Mariners are
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: doing before Naylor, like they were sticking guys at first,
- 1:43:53Speaker 5: you know, and uh, and so I think that's the
- 1:43:57Speaker 5: sort of the accepted way of doing things. So they
- 1:43:59Speaker 5: did think he would have a much defensive value, and
- 1:44:01Speaker 5: they didn't think that, and they were worried about the contact.
- 1:44:06Speaker 5: The flip side of this is, you know, they have
- 1:44:10Speaker 5: they have missed on him, and and I think it's
- 1:44:14Speaker 5: also partially because teams want more contact. And it's as
- 1:44:18Speaker 5: much as everybody's making fun of baseball for three being
- 1:44:20Speaker 5: three true outcomes. Teams have seen what the Blue Jays
- 1:44:23Speaker 5: did last year. They've seen what teams like the Astros
- 1:44:28Speaker 5: have always made hard contact, lots of hard contact. And
- 1:44:31Speaker 5: I think that they know, you know, there is a
- 1:44:33Speaker 5: piece of research out there that suggests that teams strike
- 1:44:37Speaker 5: out rate doesn't predict that much during the regular season,
- 1:44:40Speaker 5: but it gets a little bit more predictive of who
- 1:44:43Speaker 5: wins in the postseason. I think that's because you're facing
- 1:44:46Speaker 5: top end, velo, top end stuff. By the time you
- 1:44:48Speaker 5: get to the postseason, you're putting away all of the
- 1:44:51Speaker 5: bad pictures and you're only facing the good ones. Basically,
- 1:44:55Speaker 5: and I think your ability to make contact means a
- 1:44:58Speaker 5: little bit more of them. So teams that want to
- 1:45:00Speaker 5: win the postseason aren't necessarily itching to put a thirty
- 1:45:04Speaker 5: five percent strike out rid guy in their mind.
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: You know, last thing for me here, I want to
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: go back to the Mariners and talk to you about
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: the bullpen. We know that Matt Brash is beginning a
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: rehabstint with Tacoma tonight. Ferrera is coming off of the
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: paternity list as well. Specifically, I want to talk about
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: Ferrer because as it relates to this bullpen. I mean,
- 1:45:25Speaker 3: Andrews and I were talking in a break about an
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: hour ago about how, God, if you had Farreer in
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: Game seven last year, this team may be playing in
- 1:45:34Speaker 3: the World Series. And Farrer was one of those guys
- 1:45:37Speaker 3: where we in the first week of the season it
- 1:45:39Speaker 3: was like, God, we traded forward for this, but he's
- 1:45:42Speaker 3: sort of come around. You know what, you what do
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: you seeing from Farrer that can make him a high
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: leverage lefty for not only made this season, but kind
- 1:45:50Speaker 3: of the high leverage lefty that we've been wanting to
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: see in this bullpen.
- 1:45:53Speaker 6: For a while.
- 1:45:56Speaker 5: Yeah, he doesn't have a great natural command, I don't think,
- 1:45:59Speaker 5: And so I think you just have to simplify things
- 1:46:01Speaker 5: for him. And as much as you might want him
- 1:46:05Speaker 5: to throw more sliders and breaking balls, because they get
- 1:46:09Speaker 5: more with And that's one thing. If you look at
- 1:46:11Speaker 5: his line, you're like, oh God, this good doesn't get
- 1:46:13Speaker 5: more wists than this. I think it's because he can
- 1:46:17Speaker 5: locate his fastballs much better than he can locate his secondaries.
- 1:46:21Speaker 5: And so if you you have a choice there, we're like,
- 1:46:23Speaker 5: do I get more with and more walks or do
- 1:46:27Speaker 5: I or do I get fewer with and fewer walks?
- 1:46:30Speaker 5: And given the quality of his fastballs, I think they've
- 1:46:33Speaker 5: settled into you know, a let's just let's just throw
- 1:46:36Speaker 5: a lot of these fastballs, the really good fastballs, and
- 1:46:39Speaker 5: you're going to keep the ball in the park and
- 1:46:41Speaker 5: you're going to keep those walks down. So I think
- 1:46:44Speaker 5: I think that's part of it. And so you know,
- 1:46:46Speaker 5: if you do live by the fastball, your strike out right,
- 1:46:49Speaker 5: it's gonna be lower, and your your whiss is going
- 1:46:53Speaker 5: to be higher, Like you're going to allow some hits.
- 1:46:56Speaker 5: But I think they're saying, hey, those hits aren't going
- 1:46:58Speaker 5: to be doubles and Homer and he's not going to
- 1:47:01Speaker 5: give any free passes, so you know, you give a
- 1:47:05Speaker 5: couple of few singles every other game. That's fine. We
- 1:47:07Speaker 5: want you. This is the version we want.
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great stuff. You know, thanks so much for
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: hopping on with us, a nerd with big league hair.
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: We love chatting with you. Don't worry, you'll get the
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: first starter next week back with the internest. So thanks
- 1:47:19Speaker 2: so much for hopping on with us to thanks you,
- 1:47:22Speaker 2: all right, thanks, all right, that's you know, Sarahs and
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: the athletic I always love talking to nerds and picking
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: their brains. And you know, it's crazy to think that
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: it's it boils down to the astros sucking now because
- 1:47:32Speaker 2: they don't have enough nerds. Jackson Feltz, I love that.
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: I'm gonna use that now, all right.
- 1:47:36Speaker 6: It's a great way to live life. Yeah, it is.
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: You need more nerd in your life. I'm sure a
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: lot of people in the text line will agree on
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: that one. Speaking of speaking of let's get to our
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: text and talkbacks coming up next on Sports Radio ninety
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM.
- 1:47:55Speaker 6: Now back to e Infurness on your home for the Huskies.
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: Correcting a twelfth man brought to you by Seattle's closest
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: sn't call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: three point three kJ R FM.
- 1:48:14Speaker 25: Hi, I'm Fred mcgrid and I'm here with the Domin
- 1:48:18Speaker 25: Manski Baseball School of Inscrption to help your back up
- 1:48:23Speaker 25: catcher Mick Gava improve on that one sixty seven average.
- 1:48:29Speaker 25: We can also help him throw better, catch better, and
- 1:48:35Speaker 25: run better. Call us now and we'll help your mariness
- 1:48:41Speaker 25: win more game.
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: I love that, Thanks, Fred McGriff, would love your help
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: helping Mitch Garver, even though he's probably one of the
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: best gate players of the game. Today headed home run
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: a couple other hits as well. Good for him.
- 1:48:53Speaker 3: So I wanted to ask this to you. I know
- 1:48:55Speaker 3: we got texts, but I really had to tell this
- 1:48:58Speaker 3: to you right now. Dak In Park in Houston, is
- 1:49:04Speaker 3: it the best baseball stadium in major leagues or America?
- 1:49:08Speaker 3: Or is it the best major league stadium in the world,
- 1:49:13Speaker 3: because I think it's the absolute best.
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna pull up the YouTube here.
- 1:49:16Speaker 3: It's just it's just, I mean, frankly, they should have
- 1:49:18Speaker 3: kept the hill in center field. I think listen, if
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: you're gonna go Little League as you've called it, and
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: I think you're right.
- 1:49:25Speaker 9: Just go full. I hate love it.
- 1:49:27Speaker 3: I love it so much. It's just so absurdly stupid.
- 1:49:30Speaker 3: But boy benefited Luke Rayley today.
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: Okay, Jess, can you tell me when the camera's on me?
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: Because we're a little delayed? Here is it on me?
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: Because take behind the scenes. It activates based on who's
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: talking in the mic. I'm just gonna look at the
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: camera and say, what in the name of God is
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: this guy talking? Absurd talking?
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: It's such an absurdly stupid stadium.
- 1:49:53Speaker 9: I love it.
- 1:49:54Speaker 6: No, it's so stupid.
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: There's a reason why Jose Altuve spent his entire career
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: probably gotten one hundred more home runs, and he would
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: have gotten boxes in those stupid Crawford boxes.
- 1:50:06Speaker 6: What's the worst call down the craw Crawford boxes.
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: Yeah, they have the they have the garage doors out
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: and left, but the good corra I mean, in any
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: other place, Ruke. Luke Rayley's home run is kind of frankly,
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: it was an inch away from being caught, yes, but
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: it just happened to angle right there.
- 1:50:23Speaker 6: It's so absurdly dumb that stadium.
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: I love it well, also screwed Louis Castillo too, so yes,
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: you benefited from it, but it also screwed Louis Castillo
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: because the double out of the game that made him
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: score two runs equal opportunity.
- 1:50:36Speaker 7: Dumb.
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: Yeah, what you're saying, Yes, it's I mean, you know,
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: it's everywhere you play, everywhere you play, just like when
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: you complain about the weather when you're playing, like, oh, yeah,
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: it's gonna be a wet out there today. Both teams
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: have to deal with it. Yeah, right, and sometimes you know,
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: the Mariners have been known for their picture friendly parks.
- 1:50:54Speaker 6: So you don't like it.
- 1:50:55Speaker 9: I hate it.
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: It's terrible, Like there's so many pop ups to let
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: feel that's like, oh, is that gonna be a home
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: run all of a sudden just because And I say
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: that because every batted ball and play it's more nerd
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: talk here. Every batted ball and play has an expected
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: batting average on it, And obviously, if you hit it
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: harder and at the right angle, the expected batting average
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: goes higher. If you hit a true home run in
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: every single part, the expected batting average a thousand. Because
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: it's it's it's every time you hit that ball, it
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: goes out of the park, so it's.
- 1:51:26Speaker 6: A home run.
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: The expected batting average on the double that Luis Castillo
- 1:51:31Speaker 2: gave up was one hundred, one hundred. In almost every
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: other situation, that is a pop out, easy, end of
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: the end.
- 1:51:40Speaker 6: Jest, I feel like I pressed a button.
- 1:51:41Speaker 7: You did you think you put a b in a
- 1:51:44Speaker 7: bonnet there?
- 1:51:47Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 1:51:48Speaker 4: I just still remember it as minute made. So when
- 1:51:51Speaker 4: it changed, I just bring back the Hill. Look if
- 1:51:57Speaker 4: it has anything different. I was there for the Super.
- 1:51:59Speaker 7: Bowl and what was it, twenty eighteen. It must have
- 1:52:03Speaker 7: been here since the twenty in Houston, and so I
- 1:52:07Speaker 7: still remember it as minute made.
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: But yeah, they changed the few I.
- 1:52:11Speaker 7: Choose not to think about the Houston Astros.
- 1:52:15Speaker 6: All that's good.
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't hate your idea of bringing back
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: the Hill because if you're gonna be a little league
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: ballpark and have it be just the weirdest one, lean
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: into it, I guess. But no, No, it's had some
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: terrible injuries because think about a center field or running
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: straight out to center field. You're running, you're looking for
- 1:52:35Speaker 2: the ball that all of a sudden, your your step
- 1:52:37Speaker 2: is like a foot higher than it normally would have.
- 1:52:39Speaker 4: Been, so ridiculous better jobs with the lie these days.
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: Three six guys. Any updated rumors on Colt Emerson seems
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: strange how the Mariners were so quick to pay him
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: in the highest contract for a minor leaguer at the time,
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: but it seems nobody's talking about him anymore. What do
- 1:52:55Speaker 2: you think the chances are of seeing him as a
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: Mariner this season? Ryan and Scottsdale, Ryan, it's a great question.
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: I think they expected his development to go a little
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: bit quicker in TRIPAA, to be completely honest, but they're
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: also making completely sure they don't want a Jared Kelleneck
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: situation where you bring him up and he struggles and
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: then you have to send him back down, and then
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: you bring him back up and like you don't want that.
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: You have to make sure he's one hundred percent ready
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: to talents there. He's still, according to MLB Pipeline, which
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: just came out with their prospect ranking, is the seventh
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: best prospect in baseball. So everyone believes this guy is
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: going to be a star. There's I'm not saying, by
- 1:53:34Speaker 2: any stretch of the imagination that the Mariners at the
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: wrong thing and extending him right away, but in terms
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: of him contributing this year. I still think it's more
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: likely than not, but it might be a little bit
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: more down the road than people expect.
- 1:53:46Speaker 3: Only about in two fifty seven right now with an
- 1:53:47Speaker 3: ops of eight twenty, this is all old only in
- 1:53:51Speaker 3: thirty five games.
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: This is a triple.
- 1:53:54Speaker 6: We need to see more than thirty.
- 1:53:55Speaker 3: Five games of Colt Emerson to kind of let him
- 1:53:57Speaker 3: get his sea legs under him before he makes it
- 1:54:01Speaker 3: to see attle.
- 1:54:03Speaker 6: Yeah, punch myself in the face for that one.
- 1:54:08Speaker 7: Yes, punny, punny guy.
- 1:54:11Speaker 4: But I would also say when it comes to that,
- 1:54:14Speaker 4: is that we've seen the Mariners be as fiscally responsible
- 1:54:18Speaker 4: as possible.
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: Yes, And that is one the war is cheap, cheap,
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: I'm gonna go.
- 1:54:24Speaker 4: With fiscally responsible, and that when they make a move
- 1:54:29Speaker 4: like that, it believes in his future, not necessarily the
- 1:54:32Speaker 4: right now. It is, Hey, we look at this person
- 1:54:35Speaker 4: as someone who will be with us for a long time,
- 1:54:38Speaker 4: and I don't think that should put pressure on them
- 1:54:41Speaker 4: to bring him up immediately.
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's a risk reward situation, right because say
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: you don't extend him, he comes up and is as
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: good as you expect him to be, really really good,
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: kind of I don't want to say superstar expectations, but
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: really good MLB player, and you wait, and you wait,
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: you wait un till he gets close to free agency.
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: The longer you wait with extending these guys, the more
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: expensive they get. And it's what you talked about being.
- 1:55:08Speaker 6: The school responsible. Look at it.
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: I didn't say like that you did it, but I
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: just that's a fancy word for being cheap. But also
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: it is responsible to do that.
- 1:55:19Speaker 22: Right.
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: You want to try and save as much money as
- 1:55:21Speaker 2: you possibly can so you can spend more of it
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: on more players.
- 1:55:23Speaker 12: Right.
- 1:55:24Speaker 7: Well, that's the other that side of the coy.
- 1:55:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't seen.
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: Yes, it's true, but there are a lot of examples
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: of teams that do this a lot, Like the Atlanta
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: Braves are someone who notoriously extend their guys super super
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: early because it's like, oh, we already see everything we
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: need to see. We're gonna give him an eight year contract,
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: so we don't even have to worry about doing that
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: later on. Like Ronald Acunya Junior is a seventeen million
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: dollar player. He's one of the MVP favorites right now,
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: so having that later down the road could be a
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: super positive for them.
- 1:55:54Speaker 3: I would just wrap the Colt talk by saying, the
- 1:55:56Speaker 3: kid right now is two months away from turning twenty one.
- 1:56:00Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to do twenty one rouns in Tacoma.
- 1:56:03Speaker 3: That's an awesome area down there, not only Rusting, but
- 1:56:06Speaker 3: that little downtown area Tacoma that, like Wooden City moved
- 1:56:09Speaker 3: to a new location matadors down there. Colt, you want
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: to be twenty one in Tacoma rather than Seattle. Trust
- 1:56:16Speaker 3: me on that as a Tacoma resident.
- 1:56:19Speaker 7: Yeah, say Jackson, where do you live?
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: I wonder where that comes from? Two oh six here
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: comes to Jackson Felt doppelgainer, Patrick Reed, my snow call
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: me casino in hotel double down winner. Speaking of Jackson
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: Felt's doppelganger, what's Jackson? We played an impression of you.
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: Was it two days ago now? And you never got
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: to hear it. I never got to hear it. I
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: really want you to hear that.
- 1:56:40Speaker 8: You have it?
- 1:56:40Speaker 26: Yeah, he jess Andre Jackson Ferriyes, Felt here just got done.
- 1:56:42Speaker 26: Stothking what it could have, Howard Chiltzen everywhere, whatever the
- 1:56:44Speaker 26: hell it was. You know, it's pretty impressive to be
- 1:56:46Speaker 26: both a successful businessman and the failure, failure, failure. Bil
- 1:56:50Speaker 26: Sultzi likes to live by the motto porkanalost dose.
- 1:56:52Speaker 9: I did not like it. I did not enjoy it.
- 1:56:54Speaker 9: Saunders at seven thirty.
- 1:56:58Speaker 6: Is that not perfect?
- 1:57:00Speaker 9: So part of the.
- 1:57:01Speaker 6: Greatest things I've ever heard of? That was amazing.
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: I honestly thought it was you sending that in.
- 1:57:09Speaker 6: Honestly, Yeah, that's that's a one for one. Well done,
- 1:57:12Speaker 6: whoever that is.
- 1:57:13Speaker 7: I mean, it's only fifteen seconds. That's just one more time.
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to hear it again.
- 1:57:17Speaker 26: Yeah, just interjection ferries fails here, just got done stomaching
- 1:57:19Speaker 26: what it could have Howard Chilten every where, whatever the
- 1:57:21Speaker 26: hell it was. You know, it's pretty impressive to be
- 1:57:23Speaker 26: both a successful businessman and the failure failure failure. Little
- 1:57:26Speaker 26: Schultzi likes to live by the motto por kanalost dose.
- 1:57:29Speaker 6: I did not like it.
- 1:57:30Speaker 9: I did not enjoy it. Sounders at seven thirty, I have.
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: At the end is perfect.
- 1:57:36Speaker 7: We were wondering if you actually might you realize why I.
- 1:57:40Speaker 6: Have to talk at the speed that I do. Oh
- 1:57:42Speaker 6: you doesn't work.
- 1:57:44Speaker 2: It's because he only allows me ten seconds to speak
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: before on the Dix this way too I mean he
- 1:57:50Speaker 2: doesn't allow anybody to speak more than ten seconds before
- 1:57:52Speaker 2: now I turn.
- 1:57:54Speaker 7: Oh my god, well, I mean it happens offensive about it.
- 1:57:58Speaker 6: We get his attas fans five seconds, so everybody be quiet.
- 1:58:03Speaker 6: My turn to talk.
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: Speaking of, let's give him his turn to talk. Softie's coming,
- 1:58:06Speaker 2: Softy joins us next. All right, whose idea was it
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: to do this the last three hours? I don't know, man,
- 1:58:33Speaker 2: I mean it was if the idea was to just you.
- 1:58:36Speaker 27: Know, make us all look good from three until seven
- 1:58:38Speaker 27: mission accomplishment and having.
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: Such a good day shit accomplishment. We had to do
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: cross talk.
- 1:58:45Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:58:45Speaker 27: I had this large spice spicy tater fries from Taco
- 1:58:48Speaker 27: Time Jackson, you love those things.
- 1:58:50Speaker 6: My mouth was on fire.
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: You spicy fan.
- 1:58:53Speaker 27: No, I am a spicy fan, but these were extra spicy.
- 1:58:56Speaker 27: I think the guy that you know shook him up
- 1:58:58Speaker 27: with the an extra in there. I think he went
- 1:59:00Speaker 27: a little nuts.
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: Oh it's like when you get Thai food and you
- 1:59:03Speaker 2: never know what, Like if three star means like, oh
- 1:59:05Speaker 2: my god, my mouse on fire at three stars, like
- 1:59:07Speaker 2: I can barely take one.
- 1:59:09Speaker 27: Restaurant's three star is different than somebody else's three star
- 1:59:14Speaker 27: up the road.
- 1:59:14Speaker 6: Well, tim tie was the best and that was gone, right.
- 1:59:18Speaker 27: But there needs to be like some committee right somewhere,
- 1:59:21Speaker 27: and it should be probably in Thailand where they decide
- 1:59:24Speaker 27: every year.
- 1:59:26Speaker 6: This is what a three star is like, this is
- 1:59:28Speaker 6: what four star is.
- 1:59:29Speaker 27: This is what it's just different, right, And then when
- 1:59:32Speaker 27: you know they cook their food, it's you know, like
- 1:59:34Speaker 27: when you go to a steakhouse, what.
- 1:59:36Speaker 6: Does your medium rare look like? Yeah? What is your medium?
- 1:59:39Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:59:40Speaker 3: When we went and saw Dune two with Dick the
- 1:59:42Speaker 3: three US, we got out, I think we I think
- 1:59:44Speaker 3: we ordered a medium steak, but the medium steak was
- 1:59:50Speaker 3: definitely way.
- 1:59:52Speaker 27: It was rare on rare on rare. Right, So everybody
