- 4:09Speaker 1: Maris have a cal Rawley problem, and Kyl Rally has
- 4:11Speaker 1: a problem too, and not just his side that's hurting.
- 4:15Speaker 1: We're gonna talk. I have a solution for this. They
- 4:18Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna do it, but it would really
- 4:21Speaker 1: help him. It probably should have been done. It definitely
- 4:23Speaker 1: should have been done about seven days ago. We'll talk
- 4:26Speaker 1: about that at ten forty five. The Seahawks, they're down
- 4:28Speaker 1: now to five possible opponents for their first game of
- 4:31Speaker 1: the NFL season here in Seattle, Wednesday, September ninth. One
- 4:34Speaker 1: in particular, became even more likely this morning with what
- 4:39Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top of the show that the
- 4:41Speaker 1: NFL is saying the Cowboys and the Giants are gonna
- 4:44Speaker 1: play Sunday night, Week one in the Meadowlands, and that
- 4:48Speaker 1: affects the Seahawks because the Cowboys are one of the
- 4:50Speaker 1: home opponents for the Seahawks could have played. Remember it
- 4:53Speaker 1: can't be the forty nine ers in the or the
- 4:55Speaker 1: Rams to play in Seattle Wednesday, September ninth to open
- 4:58Speaker 1: the league season forty nine and Rams is going to
- 5:01Speaker 1: be in Australia to play the next night in the
- 5:03Speaker 1: first ever NFL regular season game down Under, so that
- 5:06Speaker 1: eliminates two other possible opponents. Now the Cowboys are out,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and we'll talk about what who's left, who's likely to
- 5:12Speaker 1: be there? And at eleven o'clock. One of the questions
- 5:15Speaker 1: when I asked Ryan Dunlevy Chris Buddy, NFL writer for
- 5:19Speaker 1: The New York Post, is why the hell are the
- 5:20Speaker 1: Giants getting a home Sunday night season opener on primetime NBC.
- 5:27Speaker 1: This happens quite a bit of turns out, and if
- 5:31Speaker 1: the Cowboys are involved, all bets are off.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Right, man, who's surprised about that? My dad smiling? Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 3: Cowboys Sunday Night ain't proved nothing, ain't done nothing.
- 5:39Speaker 1: But guess what's we prime time? Baby? Weren't they like
- 5:44Speaker 1: seven to ten last Year's.
- 5:45Speaker 4: My point exactly, you know, But Jerry Jones waved the
- 5:48Speaker 4: dollar bills in the face and they was like, you
- 5:50Speaker 4: know what, Jerry.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Just to watch them, We'll watch them. Course, yeah they
- 5:56Speaker 1: could put they could put the Division two College All
- 5:59Speaker 1: Star team out there against the Seahawks and everyone. The
- 6:02Speaker 1: ratings would be amazing. So yeah, that's the point. But yeah,
- 6:06Speaker 1: the Cowboys, there's a history there. We're gonna talk about
- 6:09Speaker 1: that too. A matter of fact, this is Chris the
- 6:13Speaker 1: twelfth time in seventeen years the Cowboys are going to
- 6:16Speaker 1: play an NBC Prime time in the opening weekend. That
- 6:19Speaker 1: means either the season kickoff game usually Thursday night, this
- 6:22Speaker 1: time first time.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, the commissioner, at this point.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Well does he have to though? Because the ratings for
- 6:28Speaker 1: the Cowboys and so large and the well.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Maybe we sing about googles, maybe we should actually pull
- 6:32Speaker 4: up the ratings for each season that the Cowboys have
- 6:34Speaker 4: played their openers and if they're really like, if they're okay.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I'm convinced, Jerry Jones like, look, man, I got a
- 6:40Speaker 1: couple billion. What do you say they are? Habitually. I
- 6:43Speaker 1: haven't gone recently to the numbers, but heading into I
- 6:46Speaker 1: think last season, the Cowboys have the highest rated regular
- 6:49Speaker 1: season games in the league. It's the star by team,
- 6:52Speaker 1: Yeah it is. And regardless to your point, regardless of
- 6:55Speaker 1: whether good or not. Yeah, I mean their defense was
- 6:58Speaker 1: just autrocious.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Last year, last two seasons. If I'm not mistaken, you're
- 7:02Speaker 4: right they tried bad.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Yeah, they were terrible last year. It subverted Brian Schottenheimer's
- 7:06Speaker 1: first season down in Dallas. And yet here they are
- 7:09Speaker 1: in a Marquee Sunday night game against an even worse
- 7:11Speaker 1: Giants team last year. Just what are the Giants doing?
- 7:14Speaker 1: Were they three wins?
- 7:16Speaker 3: He doesn't seem it doesn't scream must T TV for me,
- 7:20Speaker 3: not at all.
- 7:21Speaker 1: There's a theory. I'm gonna run it by Ryan Dunlevy
- 7:23Speaker 1: the New York Post, and we talked to him at
- 7:24Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. It's a John Harbaugh's debut. Probably not.
- 7:29Speaker 3: There's a theery here. No one wants to see the coach.
- 7:31Speaker 4: No one's like, hey, there's John, let's watch him call
- 7:33Speaker 4: plays for the next sixty minutes.
- 7:35Speaker 3: That's not how that works. Who's their starting quarterback?
- 7:38Speaker 4: Jackson Dart Oh yeah, okay, a guy that doesn't care
- 7:41Speaker 4: about him. So if he just runs into the brick
- 7:43Speaker 4: wall and you got Grooden talking about dude slide, you're
- 7:47Speaker 4: gonna kill yourself.
- 7:48Speaker 3: But continue there's that.
- 7:52Speaker 1: So there's a theory that the reason why the NFL
- 7:55Speaker 1: did this, get this krit you'll love this. The Jets,
- 7:58Speaker 1: they stink. So they're gonna play on Sunday afternoon. Oh
- 8:01Speaker 1: thank goodness, we need to see that. I don't even
- 8:03Speaker 1: know they're playing in the Openernstate. I haven't announced it yet,
- 8:06Speaker 1: but they'll play on Sunday afternoon. And the Yankees and
- 8:09Speaker 1: the Mets are going to be finishing a subway series
- 8:12Speaker 1: September the twelfth on Sunday, or is that thirteenth Sunday,
- 8:16Speaker 1: September thirteenth, in the afternoon, already scheduled for one thirty.
- 8:20Speaker 1: So they're trying to say that. One of the theories is
- 8:23Speaker 1: that no way New York can had the Jets playing,
- 8:25Speaker 1: the Mets and the Yankees all playing and then the
- 8:28Speaker 1: Giants having their first game be a Sunday afternoon game.
- 8:31Speaker 1: So that's why they put them on Sunday night. I
- 8:34Speaker 1: don't know. New York's pretty damn big.
- 8:36Speaker 3: They can't wait the following week for the other teams.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Like the rest of the NFL, they don't have to
- 8:39Speaker 4: play like the they don't have to play that week.
- 8:42Speaker 4: They could play the Next'm my bugg in here because
- 8:44Speaker 4: I know they have like the Wednesday night game. Also,
- 8:46Speaker 4: technically they'd have to play they put off, Yeah, they
- 8:49Speaker 4: need to play Sunday.
- 8:51Speaker 1: I don't know, send them away. Well, the point is,
- 8:53Speaker 1: even if they put them on the road, the Giants
- 8:54Speaker 1: would be playing in Sunday afternoon. That's fine. So the
- 8:57Speaker 1: Jets and Giants would be on Sunday afternoon, and so
- 9:00Speaker 1: the Yankees against the Mets. Figure it out. New York,
- 9:03Speaker 1: there's like twenty five million people in that metropolitan are
- 9:06Speaker 1: watching television. I think they can figure that out. That's fine.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Watching TV is different than putting them all trying to
- 9:10Speaker 4: get them to the game.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Oh, that's not gonna be problem me to those stadiums
- 9:13Speaker 1: only hold seven I give, I don't have answers SS,
- 9:17Speaker 1: but that's Brian Dunlevy actually talked about that as possibly
- 9:20Speaker 1: a reason why the Giants, who otherwise don't deserve a
- 9:23Speaker 1: week one practice game or getting one. I thought that
- 9:26Speaker 1: was funny because it's not like Seattle or Denver or
- 9:29Speaker 1: some other city that's not nearly as large as New
- 9:32Speaker 1: York that have all the teams that Okay, hopefully it's
- 9:34Speaker 1: a great game. That's all I ask.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Can you at least be entertaining for four quarters? Don't
- 9:38Speaker 4: give us three zero your quarterbacks.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Like one of eight.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Yeah, we hopefully Cameron Scataboo is healthy.
- 9:46Speaker 1: That would be a catch league neighbors.
- 9:48Speaker 4: They got some players that people want to see, But
- 9:50Speaker 4: as a team, I'm just like, Bro, they wont how many.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Games last year? Greg?
- 9:54Speaker 4: I think there were three and fourteen that that just
- 9:56Speaker 4: doesn't the needle's not moving for your boy here.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Because didn't they just win late in the season cost
- 10:00Speaker 1: them the number one You know what?
- 10:01Speaker 3: We got the Googles, so we're gonna look up.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I was covering a playoff team at the time, so
- 10:05Speaker 1: I wasn't quite in a little the Giants were doing.
- 10:08Speaker 1: But I'm pretty they finished four and thirteen or three
- 10:10Speaker 1: and fourteen, and I think it was a win late
- 10:13Speaker 1: in the season that cost them the number one seed.
- 10:15Speaker 1: It might have been against the Raiders or am I
- 10:17Speaker 1: thinking a couple of seasons ago and the Raiders got
- 10:20Speaker 1: the pick instead, the number one overall pick. Now April
- 10:23Speaker 1: Reese is now the averall the pass strutcher from Ohio
- 10:28Speaker 1: State is what I'm trying to say. It has gone
- 10:30Speaker 1: to the Giants with the very first pick they had,
- 10:32Speaker 1: but they would have they wouldn't.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Have used it on a quarter four and thirteen. Greg,
- 10:36Speaker 4: I think they beat the Raiders late in the season.
- 10:38Speaker 4: I don't care who they beat. They won four games.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Yes, that's two non playoff teams, one of which won
- 10:44Speaker 1: four games. Is the lead Sunday Night game.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Seven and twenty seven in the last two seasons, and
- 10:48Speaker 4: your prime time Sunday Night all eyes on that game. Oh,
- 10:52Speaker 4: I can't wait till that game. Guys, that's gonna be.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Mustcy tell them that is crazy. That reminds me of
- 10:57Speaker 4: these bad Thursday night games that you get. And they're
- 11:00Speaker 4: starting this off week one. That's it better be. I'm
- 11:03Speaker 4: talking fireworks. Jackson Dart better though for two fifty. A
- 11:06Speaker 4: couple of rushing touchdown two fifty would be fine. If
- 11:10Speaker 4: Jackson through for two fifty, it would feel like four
- 11:11Speaker 4: to fifty.
- 11:13Speaker 1: With that offensive line of Giants. Have they got problems? Man?
- 11:16Speaker 3: The well, their defensive line is exciting.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You know.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Con Thiboeau make some plays.
- 11:19Speaker 1: If he's still there, Yep, yep, that's true. There's rumors
- 11:23Speaker 1: that there are and trade him.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Oh well, good, you know this is just all sounding
- 11:27Speaker 4: way worse than it actually could be.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, a lot of eyes rolled outside New York,
- 11:33Speaker 1: but we all know the rule, especially NBC in the NFL,
- 11:35Speaker 1: revolve around the Hudson River in New York City. I've
- 11:38Speaker 1: talked to you many times about the fact I worked
- 11:40Speaker 1: for the Associated Press, which is headquartered in New York
- 11:43Speaker 1: and for many, many, many many people, the United States
- 11:47Speaker 1: ends at the Hudson River. There's nothing that happens west
- 11:50Speaker 1: of the Hudson River for a lot of people. That
- 11:51Speaker 1: includes New Jersey. Got the Giants and Jets play in
- 11:54Speaker 1: New Jersey right across from Manhattan. Anyway, we'll talk at
- 11:59Speaker 1: Ryan Dunley at eleven o'clock and it's coming out its
- 12:02Speaker 1: text on at eleven thirty. We will read back your
- 12:04Speaker 1: text like we do every weekday. At this time, we
- 12:07Speaker 1: had all kinds of fun on the text. Sign with
- 12:08Speaker 1: that you just sorry Chris on tokay having a lot
- 12:11Speaker 1: of Mother's Day memories for one. There were a couple
- 12:14Speaker 1: of cool ones too. People are still texting in about
- 12:17Speaker 1: you and I talking about coaches getting run out of
- 12:20Speaker 1: coaching youth in high school to get her parents.
- 12:22Speaker 4: We should We'll wrap during the break and we'll assess
- 12:26Speaker 4: that and try to get her on this week.
- 12:27Speaker 1: The gig Harbor Girls High School coach who was fired
- 12:30Speaker 1: and then unfired in a two week span, all because
- 12:33Speaker 1: of parents. Parents got her fired. We talked to John
- 12:37Speaker 1: Manley last week about this with the News Tribune, who
- 12:39Speaker 1: broke both stories. And then parents got her re unfired
- 12:43Speaker 1: because they said, wait a minute, we didn't want her guard.
- 12:45Speaker 1: The vocal minority apparently got her fired, and the majority
- 12:49Speaker 1: who thought everything was okay, then stood up and yelled
- 12:52Speaker 1: and said no, no, no, what what who wanted her fired?
- 12:55Speaker 1: She We went nineteen and six, We came within one
- 12:57Speaker 1: point of the state tournament at the Comodome. Why are
- 13:02Speaker 1: we firing this woman? They re hired her back parents
- 13:06Speaker 1: once again, as John Maley said, entitled parents. Did the
- 13:09Speaker 1: parents get called out that I don't know by name.
- 13:12Speaker 1: The district should have Yeah, the district actually went over
- 13:17Speaker 1: the school. The athletic director at gig Harbor High School
- 13:20Speaker 1: fired her. This is what John Manley, the News Tribute,
- 13:22Speaker 1: my colleague reported. And then the district, the Gig Harbor
- 13:26Speaker 1: School district came back and said no, no, no, this wasn't right.
- 13:29Speaker 1: You didn't follow the process. We have the administrative processes,
- 13:33Speaker 1: the hearings and whatnot. No, she gets her job back.
- 13:37Speaker 1: In the meantime, all these vocal the silent majority who
- 13:42Speaker 1: liked her were like, what happened? Why did she get fired?
- 13:47Speaker 1: I'm still getting text about that. Four nine four one.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Who would you like to see the Seahawks face? Whom?
- 13:53Speaker 3: I tweeted it out too, Greg, who's that your tweet
- 13:57Speaker 3: regarding who the Seahawks should play?
- 13:59Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 14:01Speaker 4: You have let me right, let me fine. Oh, here
- 14:03Speaker 4: it is NBC in the NFL. Put in the Cowboys
- 14:05Speaker 4: and Giants Sunday, as we mentioned, so Seahawks can have
- 14:09Speaker 4: the league's opening night in Seattle Wednesday the ninth. Here
- 14:12Speaker 4: here are the teams.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I was trying to tease it for later in the show,
- 14:14Speaker 1: but that's okay, go ahead.
- 14:16Speaker 3: We can dump that.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Bears, Cardinals, Chargers, Chiefs, Patriots. What are you guys thinking?
- 14:23Speaker 1: There you go. You heard Chris's list? No, your list?
- 14:26Speaker 1: Bears charging my mind? The league? Still?
- 14:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Chargers, absolutely not, Cardinals, absolutely not. Patriots.
- 14:33Speaker 1: No are the Chargers and absolutely not though justin Herbert.
- 14:37Speaker 4: But he's I mean, I guess during the regular season.
- 14:40Speaker 4: He just stinks in the playoffs. So I guess that's fair.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Harbaugh.
- 14:46Speaker 3: I'm not moved.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Really.
- 14:48Speaker 4: My best friend would probably enjoy that, not really because
- 14:50Speaker 4: he's a big Chargers fan.
- 14:51Speaker 1: But nationally, the Chargers don't ring. That's true. Give me
- 14:53Speaker 1: the Bears are chiefs.
- 14:55Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Patriots, absolutely not. You saw what we did,
- 14:57Speaker 3: saw what the Seahawks did them in the super Bowl.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Normally you say super Bowl rematch. Sure, that's a natural.
- 15:02Speaker 3: No, it's it might be worse unless Drake May takes
- 15:05Speaker 3: a nice little step.
- 15:07Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about the Mike Rabral angle.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Oh well, I guess that's very news.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Ryan Dunlevy of the New York Post, the paper that
- 15:14Speaker 1: broke the story, Mike Rabel and Diana asked.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Him about that. To do what we are we'll talk
- 15:19Speaker 3: to him at eleven o'clock.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Up next, cal Rawley, the Mariners have a cow rawly
- 15:24Speaker 1: problem that I have a solution, at least the temporary solution,
- 15:27Speaker 1: at least a week and a half solution. I don't
- 15:30Speaker 1: think they're going to do it. I think they should.
- 15:31Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. That's next On ninety three point three.
- 15:34Speaker 1: kJ RFM. Welcome back, Greg Bell, Christopher Kay Reunited, Christmas
- 15:42Speaker 1: Gone on Friday, He's back. We're back for another week.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. On ninety three point three kJ r
- 15:49Speaker 1: FM eleven o'clock Top of the hour, We're going to
- 15:52Speaker 1: talk to Ryan Dunlevy's the NFL writer for the New
- 15:55Speaker 1: York Post. A couple of things to get across with him.
- 15:59Speaker 1: That's the paper that broke with Diana Roussini, Mike Rabel's story,
- 16:02Speaker 1: which just is like wildfire that every other day there's
- 16:05Speaker 1: more videos and pictures and.
- 16:07Speaker 4: She can never go on Twitter again. What about it's
- 16:11Speaker 4: the double standard for men whooped you do you.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Cheated on your wife? All right?
- 16:15Speaker 4: That was stupid move on. That's that's the reality of
- 16:19Speaker 4: the situation. It's sad, but that's that's it. Guys, get
- 16:23Speaker 4: the that was a really d bag move, bro. But
- 16:27Speaker 4: you know, you're a great coach.
- 16:29Speaker 1: There's something to be said for the character of men
- 16:31Speaker 1: that are trying to lead men. I would hope.
- 16:33Speaker 3: But yeah, there's a small portion you know that nobody's
- 16:36Speaker 3: thinking about that.
- 16:36Speaker 1: No, it's a small portion of people that are That's
- 16:40Speaker 1: just the reality of the situation. Unfortunately, there kids involved,
- 16:43Speaker 1: their spouses involved.
- 16:45Speaker 4: You know Rossini's husband. My goodness, kids, what a mess.
- 16:52Speaker 4: It has become a mess, and it's getting messier almost.
- 16:54Speaker 4: The New York Post is publishing every other day videos and.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Pictures of everything is starting. People are just sending them
- 17:00Speaker 1: stuff and TMZ. I mean it's tabloid. It's reached tabloids now,
- 17:03Speaker 1: so I mean it's tabloid level stuff. It's every time
- 17:09Speaker 1: I see it, I think of the kids and the spouses,
- 17:11Speaker 1: and there should be you know, character the college football has.
- 17:17Speaker 1: College sports has a character cause and standard, especially state run,
- 17:21Speaker 1: private or public excuse me, institutions. When did Rabiel get
- 17:24Speaker 1: his new deal, Well, he just became the Patriots coach
- 17:27Speaker 1: last year.
- 17:28Speaker 3: About this time, you will not be getting an extension.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I don't think. Well, if you're not going to extend him,
- 17:34Speaker 1: why are you keeping him? Because he went to the
- 17:36Speaker 1: Super Bowl.
- 17:37Speaker 3: It's tough to just replace him. Now, your mouths, just
- 17:39Speaker 3: keep them.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Right.
- 17:44Speaker 4: If obviously it's it's bad, but it's not like, hey,
- 17:47Speaker 4: we can't keep you around.
- 17:48Speaker 3: We'll just keep you around until it's up.
- 17:50Speaker 1: But why is that?
- 17:53Speaker 3: I think there's Do you think the NFL wants this story?
- 17:55Speaker 1: To go on and on to the break of dawn.
- 17:57Speaker 3: To be honest, it ain't like other stories.
- 18:00Speaker 4: They're probably just like a little sex here and there whatever,
- 18:03Speaker 4: like that's how they're that's how they're viewing it, right,
- 18:06Speaker 4: it's not a I don't even put it out there.
- 18:07Speaker 4: It's not a serious it's not Yeah, there's.
- 18:12Speaker 3: Levels to this. I understand your point, but yeah, little sex.
- 18:17Speaker 4: All right, guys, let's play the games, and they probably
- 18:20Speaker 4: will not keep them when it's after two years, like
- 18:24Speaker 4: all right, man.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Oh so you think he'll go through another season? Yeah,
- 18:27Speaker 1: I believe we'll go to other at this point.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Yeah, if they were going to do anything when they
- 18:32Speaker 4: have already done it, maybe I mean cut them now.
- 18:36Speaker 4: If they suck, it's like, well, there's a reason why
- 18:38Speaker 4: they suck.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Do you cut them? Then?
- 18:40Speaker 4: I guess there's really no good point, no timing. That's like, oh,
- 18:43Speaker 4: that's perfect, get rid of them. Like maybe when the
- 18:45Speaker 4: news story dropped, okay, fire you, But even then it's like, oh,
- 18:48Speaker 4: did it really happen?
- 18:49Speaker 3: There was always questions. There was never a definitive.
- 18:52Speaker 4: Now it's definitive, and it's like, well, damn, we're about
- 18:54Speaker 4: to start training camp in a month here.
- 18:56Speaker 1: So he bought himself time with the denial.
- 19:00Speaker 4: Maybe his yeah, maybe his advisors were like, YO, just
- 19:03Speaker 4: lie about it because it'll blow over and then you
- 19:06Speaker 4: can coach.
- 19:06Speaker 3: You won't get fired speaking to.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Something that's better than this. Cayl Rawley, no hits and
- 19:13Speaker 1: thirty six plaited appearances. I don't know that Mariners are
- 19:17Speaker 1: probably like fans are not. This is unbelievable. This is
- 19:21Speaker 1: the longest hitless streak of his career. Do I even
- 19:25Speaker 1: mention what the longest hitsless streak in Major league history is?
- 19:28Speaker 1: Should I even bring it up? I think at this point, Greg,
- 19:32Speaker 1: we're all ears. He's still a ways away. Oh for fifty.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Four ways if you go two strikeouts, well, if you've
- 19:38Speaker 3: gotta be five games away, there you go.
- 19:40Speaker 4: Put some context to it. Yeah, five games a much.
- 19:42Speaker 4: That's a week baby.
- 19:45Speaker 1: But they had four with the trash Cans, and then
- 19:47Speaker 1: they come home this weekend. That's five. So theoretically it's possible.
- 19:52Speaker 1: They're in a bandbox park against a bad pitching staff
- 19:55Speaker 1: that has been decimated by injuries. The next few nights
- 19:58Speaker 1: the trash Cans and some on text on I hear
- 20:00Speaker 1: you they're saying I should not call him the trash
- 20:03Speaker 1: cans with as bad as the Mariners are, hey, but
- 20:04Speaker 1: they will always be the trash Cans because they got
- 20:07Speaker 1: off the hook and nobody punished him other than a
- 20:09Speaker 1: few slaps on Risks. They still get the host of trophy.
- 20:12Speaker 1: They all have World Series rings. There's still a World
- 20:14Speaker 1: Series trophy from cheating and beating the Dodgers that year
- 20:17Speaker 1: and beating the Mariners and everybody else in the Al West.
- 20:19Speaker 1: They will always be the Cans, always period. For me. Anyway, Anyway,
- 20:25Speaker 1: Raleigh oh for fifty four. Chris Davis went oh for
- 20:28Speaker 1: fifty four. That streak was so long it went over
- 20:30Speaker 1: two seasons. It was at the end of twenty eighteen
- 20:32Speaker 1: into twenty nineteen. So he's a ways away from that.
- 20:35Speaker 1: To Chris's point, he's I guess a few games away
- 20:38Speaker 1: from that five or so. Raley's batting average one sixty
- 20:41Speaker 1: one going into yesterday was one of the It was
- 20:43Speaker 1: the third lowest in all of Major League Baseball for
- 20:45Speaker 1: qualifying hitters. Statistical qualifying that is this, of course, the
- 20:50Speaker 1: guy who's sixty home rens in the regular season few
- 20:53Speaker 1: more in the playoffs. Second in the MVP vote to
- 20:56Speaker 1: Aaron Judge in a very contested race that we've ought
- 20:59Speaker 1: to here all think he got robbed of and should
- 21:01Speaker 1: have been the al MVP. And now he's hitting one
- 21:02Speaker 1: sixty one with an O for thirty two with thirty
- 21:05Speaker 1: six hitless plate appearances now Friday, while the Mariners are
- 21:10Speaker 1: doing I mean, Mariners had twelve runs on twelve hits.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Luke Raley had seven RBIs with two homer to grand
- 21:17Speaker 1: slam in a three run homer. Well, they're just going crazy.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I mean twelve runs, that's a month for the Mariners.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating a little bit. Rolly went oh for five
- 21:26Speaker 1: that night with a strikeouts. Since he returned from the
- 21:28Speaker 1: three games he missed with soreness in his side, he's
- 21:30Speaker 1: OH for twenty with ten strikeouts, striking out fifty percent
- 21:34Speaker 1: of the time. Yesterday, manager Dan Wilson tried moving him
- 21:37Speaker 1: down from the second spot in the lineup for the
- 21:38Speaker 1: first time this season to clean up, and he won
- 21:41Speaker 1: OH for three with two strikeouts there. The last two
- 21:44Speaker 1: games he's been back, catching Ryan Debish of the Seattle Times.
- 21:48Speaker 1: The Mariners be rid in Chicago, with the team reporting
- 21:51Speaker 1: that Rowley is still getting treatment on his side for
- 21:54Speaker 1: that pain and injury that MRIs showed was no structural damage,
- 21:58Speaker 1: which is why they didn't put him on the injury
- 22:00Speaker 1: list last week after he missed the three games in
- 22:02Speaker 1: a row. Brian Davish wrote his it basically was his game,
- 22:09Speaker 1: so I didn't read his game story. I read his
- 22:11Speaker 1: Cal Raley story postgame from Chicago yesterday, and he interviewed
- 22:17Speaker 1: Cal Rawley at his Walker in the clubhouse at used
- 22:20Speaker 1: to be Comiskey Park in Chicago after his Mariner has
- 22:23Speaker 1: lost two of three and the streak is now hitless
- 22:26Speaker 1: in thirty six at bats for Raleigh, Raley said, quote,
- 22:33Speaker 1: I'm trying to get there, he said quietly postgame. Honestly,
- 22:36Speaker 1: it's not been great. It's been really ugly. I'm trying
- 22:39Speaker 1: to do my best just to compete up there. He's
- 22:41Speaker 1: the guy who finished second in the MVP last year.
- 22:43Speaker 1: He's talking about just trying to compete up there. Quote.
- 22:46Speaker 1: I have high expectations for myself, Raley told Ryan Divish.
- 22:49Speaker 1: At the times, I haven't quite lived up to what
- 22:52Speaker 1: I need to do, what I want to do, and
- 22:54Speaker 1: obviously that's frustrating, But at the same time, I need
- 22:57Speaker 1: to realize that I need to have better at bats
- 22:59Speaker 1: and try to help help the team out more than
- 23:01Speaker 1: worry about anything else that comes as far as my
- 23:03Speaker 1: stats or stuff like that. This is a guy who
- 23:06Speaker 1: is renowned for his process, the getting their part, not
- 23:10Speaker 1: the results part. More to Kyle Rowley to Ryan Divis quote,
- 23:15Speaker 1: for me, it's more on the mental side than it
- 23:18Speaker 1: is trying to physically change something. I'm just trying to
- 23:20Speaker 1: battle and compete and not worry about the rest of
- 23:22Speaker 1: the stuff and try to get back to being more
- 23:24Speaker 1: process oriented. Rolly said, quote, you could go around and
- 23:29Speaker 1: ask all twenty six guys in this room, meaning the clubhouse,
- 23:33Speaker 1: and at some point they've been frustrated with the results,
- 23:35Speaker 1: and then they start to look at more at the
- 23:37Speaker 1: results than the other stuff. Talking with the other guys
- 23:40Speaker 1: and coaches. That always goes back to the process and
- 23:42Speaker 1: really trusting what you're doing in the box, he said.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Ryan Devish wrote that ROLEI would not use the oblique
- 23:54Speaker 1: issue as an excuse for his struggles. Sometimes you just
- 23:57Speaker 1: got to take a step back and realize that you
- 23:59Speaker 1: really need to find something that you can trust and
- 24:02Speaker 1: find something that has worked for you in the past.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I'm trying to find that this is one sixty one
- 24:08Speaker 1: hitting Cal Rawley. Yesterday after the game in Chicago, the
- 24:11Speaker 1: Mariners lost to the White Sox, where his streak of
- 24:13Speaker 1: going without a hit now he's reached thirty six games,
- 24:16Speaker 1: thirty six thirty six game excuse me, thirty six played
- 24:19Speaker 1: appearance is the longest streak of his career. Chris, when
- 24:24Speaker 1: I read that, I used to cover Major League baseball
- 24:27Speaker 1: as a traveling beat writer for the Sacramento of Beak
- 24:29Speaker 1: covered to Yokemets, and then I cover the Mariners up
- 24:31Speaker 1: here for the Associated Press. And when I hear that
- 24:34Speaker 1: in a baseball clubhouse, that's a guy who needs a
- 24:37Speaker 1: metal break. They are not gonna sit him. They will
- 24:40Speaker 1: not just say take a few days off, take these
- 24:43Speaker 1: two three games against the trash Cans and just watch.
- 24:46Speaker 1: They won't do that. They're gonna go to him and say,
- 24:48Speaker 1: how do you feel? What you think? And he's a grinder,
- 24:50Speaker 1: and he wants to be the team guy, and he's
- 24:53Speaker 1: a face of the franchise. He's gonna keep playing and
- 24:55Speaker 1: fight his way through this. I think, Chris, they should
- 24:59Speaker 1: put him on the disabl The injured list used to
- 25:01Speaker 1: be called the sable list. Put him on for ten
- 25:03Speaker 1: days getting treatment for the site. If he's still getting
- 25:06Speaker 1: treatment for the side issue, he has an injury and
- 25:09Speaker 1: it's affecting him mentally or physically, but probably both, put
- 25:14Speaker 1: him on the injured list for a week and a half,
- 25:16Speaker 1: get him treatment, get him rest, don't have him swing
- 25:20Speaker 1: a bat for a few days, and then gradually get
- 25:22Speaker 1: him to work on how he wants to work on
- 25:24Speaker 1: what he wants to work with. If he wants to
- 25:26Speaker 1: stay with the team, great, keep him on the road trip,
- 25:29Speaker 1: but instead of benching him or not having him play,
- 25:33Speaker 1: just keep him from himself for ten days and let
- 25:37Speaker 1: him rest. It's only May, man, it's early May. If
- 25:41Speaker 1: you tune it on the injured list and he misses
- 25:44Speaker 1: ten games, say the ten game injured list. When he
- 25:46Speaker 1: comes back, it'd be before Memorial Day and there's still
- 25:49Speaker 1: one hundred and ten plus games left in the season.
- 25:53Speaker 1: It's not like this is the middle of the summer.
- 25:55Speaker 1: And we've said this a thousand times already this spring.
- 25:58Speaker 1: The AO West ain't going anywhere. Number one. First place
- 26:01Speaker 1: in the division is two games over five hundred, still
- 26:05Speaker 1: like it was last week, like it was the week before.
- 26:09Speaker 1: As bad as the Mariners are three games under five hundred,
- 26:11Speaker 1: they are still just two and a half back. They
- 26:13Speaker 1: are a three or four game winning streak or five
- 26:15Speaker 1: game winning streak from first place. So you sit Raleigh
- 26:19Speaker 1: for ten days to keep him from himself physically, get
- 26:23Speaker 1: him better, get him rested, give him a mental break,
- 26:28Speaker 1: and then he comes back on May twentieth or whatever
- 26:30Speaker 1: it is, and you still have one hundred and ten
- 26:32Speaker 1: plus games, and you're still going to be two and
- 26:34Speaker 1: a half or three and a half back in the division,
- 26:35Speaker 1: even if you lose most of the games while he's gone,
- 26:37Speaker 1: because the division sucks. But they're not going to do that.
- 26:42Speaker 1: They have so far shown that they're not not going
- 26:45Speaker 1: to say no, cale you're sitting, and you're sitting for
- 26:48Speaker 1: ten days, you're injured, whether the MRIs showed it or not,
- 26:51Speaker 1: they keep letting him, deferring to him because of the
- 26:54Speaker 1: status he has, of course, as the face of the franchise.
- 26:59Speaker 1: He last year, you could say, I think it's pretty
- 27:01Speaker 1: accurate to say surpassed Julio Rodriguez. It's the face of
- 27:04Speaker 1: this baseball in Seattle. Sixty three home runs whatever it
- 27:08Speaker 1: was for counting the postseason. He's not going to sit
- 27:12Speaker 1: out by himself. So take the decision out of his
- 27:15Speaker 1: hands and just put him on the injured list with
- 27:17Speaker 1: this side issue and see if ten days won't solve
- 27:20Speaker 1: this so that he doesn't have to battle it in May,
- 27:22Speaker 1: in June and July and August two. That's what I
- 27:25Speaker 1: would do, and I'd have a frank discussion with them
- 27:27Speaker 1: about just this. Look now the decision. Of course. The
- 27:31Speaker 1: downside of this, Chris, of course, is if he goes
- 27:34Speaker 1: on the injured list now he's going to be staring
- 27:36Speaker 1: at one sixty one and oh for his last thirty
- 27:38Speaker 1: two for ten days because he won't have any chance
- 27:41Speaker 1: to touch that or improve upon that. And I get that,
- 27:44Speaker 1: and for baseball players that's a big deal. But my
- 27:48Speaker 1: point is it's only May eleventh, and you put him,
- 27:52Speaker 1: you shelve him, and just take him out of the
- 27:54Speaker 1: equation so that he can rest, heal up and refresh
- 27:58Speaker 1: in the middle of May, and you could have a
- 28:00Speaker 1: different cal Rawley for June, July, and August. He can't
- 28:03Speaker 1: get worse, I mean unless he's hitting O sixty one,
- 28:08Speaker 1: and that's not gonna happen. So to me, take this
- 28:11Speaker 1: opportunity and turn into a positive by resting him and
- 28:15Speaker 1: getting him from himself, because he's going to battle through
- 28:18Speaker 1: this in the side, will keep aching. That's my point.
- 28:23Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to do it. I think
- 28:24Speaker 1: they should four nine four or five to one on
- 28:27Speaker 1: the Tacoma Dodge text line. How you would feel about
- 28:30Speaker 1: that as a Mariner fan, if you think that's something
- 28:32Speaker 1: that the vible thing to do, or you think no way,
- 28:36Speaker 1: let him fight through it, let him hit through it again.
- 28:39Speaker 1: It's only May eleventh, so we'll see four nine four
- 28:43Speaker 1: or five to one. I don't think they're gonna do it.
- 28:45Speaker 1: That's what I think they should do. We'll read back
- 28:46Speaker 1: your text at eleven thirty up next what it looks
- 28:50Speaker 1: like to marit it to me, it looks like the
- 28:51Speaker 1: Seahawks are going to play in the first game on
- 28:53Speaker 1: September ninth, on Wednesday, Wyatt. That is eleven o'clock. Ryan Dunleavy,
- 28:57Speaker 1: a New York Post national NFL writer, eleven thirty. We'll

- 30:06Speaker 1: on ninety three point three KJRFM. And as some of
- 30:09Speaker 1: you have pointed out on the Tacoma Dodge text line
- 30:11Speaker 1: four nine four five one, cal Rawley's batting average the
- 30:15Speaker 1: ear least is on base percentage would be a lot
- 30:16Speaker 1: higher if you just didn't swing. He has had only
- 30:20Speaker 1: three walks during this for thirty six plate appearances streak,
- 30:24Speaker 1: and that's as damning as anything I mentioned all the
- 30:27Speaker 1: strikeouts over twenty with ten strikeouts since coming back from
- 30:31Speaker 1: the three days off because of the side pain. But
- 30:34Speaker 1: he has only three walks in the entire stretch before
- 30:36Speaker 1: and after he took those three days off with the
- 30:39Speaker 1: side issue. So yeah, no walks either no hits or walks,
- 30:44Speaker 1: so he's not on base on top of no average.
- 30:46Speaker 1: At one sixty one, where we've backed your texts more
- 30:49Speaker 1: on cal Rawley, we read back your text at eleven thirty.
- 30:54Speaker 1: By the way, Chris, I was in the San Juan
- 30:57Speaker 1: Islands this weekend Orches Island. Our son Eric is now
- 31:01Speaker 1: one of the newest ranger Ranger assistants at Moran State
- 31:04Speaker 1: Park right outside East Sound and Orchest Island, and man,
- 31:07Speaker 1: it was it beautiful up there. It is so difficult
- 31:11Speaker 1: to get in there. June, July, and August. We're looking
- 31:13Speaker 1: at getting back up there to see him. It's already
- 31:15Speaker 1: booked for the entire I mean like camping sites for
- 31:19Speaker 1: two hundred dollars a night booked in Orchest Island, and
- 31:23Speaker 1: I'm thinking, what happened a sleepy little Orchest Island.
- 31:25Speaker 3: You've been up there, I haven't known.
- 31:27Speaker 1: It's a beautiful It's everyone knows about Friday Harbor and
- 31:30Speaker 1: Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, the main island, Orches
- 31:33Speaker 1: Island is used to be just overlooked. We stayed at
- 31:38Speaker 1: Dobey because we couldn't get into Moran State Park. My
- 31:42Speaker 1: son works there, and I couldn't get into a campsite there,
- 31:44Speaker 1: and this is early May, and man, it was so
- 31:46Speaker 1: beautiful Dobay, which stayed at a beach shirt right on
- 31:49Speaker 1: the water. Travis was right about the hotavit dobe. For
- 31:53Speaker 1: those of you who've been there, you know what I'm
- 31:54Speaker 1: talking about. Clothing optional. Travis told me about that. Chris
- 31:59Speaker 1: Is just perked up out of YouTube could catch his eyes.
- 32:03Speaker 1: He raised him so hard he may have picked it
- 32:06Speaker 1: up on the sound of his eyebrows. Crazy. If you're
- 32:09Speaker 1: watching live on the YouTube channel in ninety three point
- 32:11Speaker 1: three KJR. Hello, YouTube's working anyway. It's become just crazy popular,
- 32:18Speaker 1: judging by the fact I can't even get a fairy
- 32:21Speaker 1: reservation or a place to camp anytime. We're talking weekdays
- 32:25Speaker 1: in June and July up in orchest Island, it was
- 32:27Speaker 1: just beautiful there. Love it. I'm just thankful for where
- 32:31Speaker 1: we live. It's just a beautiful place. Back here in Seattle.
- 32:36Speaker 1: We all know the Seahawks are going to start the
- 32:38Speaker 1: NFL season on Wednesday, November ninth. They're gonna have trickle
- 32:42Speaker 1: out key games here all this week. Good Morning America
- 32:46Speaker 1: shows are going to have some of the ABC ESPN
- 32:49Speaker 1: Monday night games, CBS's morning show Nate Burleson was I
- 32:54Speaker 1: think he's still on there is They put out some
- 32:57Speaker 1: big CBS games, some of the holiday games. All those
- 33:01Speaker 1: will trick you out. And then Thursday, the league has
- 33:03Speaker 1: said they will announce the entire slate of the wins
- 33:07Speaker 1: and who the prime times are, and the Seahawks are
- 33:10Speaker 1: in line to get a maximum number of primetime games
- 33:13Speaker 1: as a defending Super Bowl champions, including the very first
- 33:16Speaker 1: one September Night, the very first Wednesday game. And we
- 33:18Speaker 1: talked about early in the show. The Giants, the Giants
- 33:22Speaker 1: the last place the last two years. Giants are going
- 33:25Speaker 1: to host the four win Giants last year are going
- 33:27Speaker 1: to host Dallas on the Sunday night game in Week one,
- 33:30Speaker 1: which takes Dallas out of the equation for the Seahawks
- 33:32Speaker 1: possibly hosting them on Week one. So it's down to Bears, Chargers, Chiefs, Patriots.
- 33:40Speaker 1: I'm missing one Bears, Chargers, Chiefs Patriot doped top my head. Cardinals,
- 33:45Speaker 1: thank you, That's why I'm missing that one. Cardinals. I
- 33:49Speaker 1: don't think no way, no, no, why not Chargers Maybe
- 33:54Speaker 1: because of Justin Herbert, a team that's made the playoffs
- 33:57Speaker 1: the last few years, Jim Harbaugh, but not the national
- 34:01Speaker 1: cachet that the Chiefs would have, the Lamar Hunt, the
- 34:08Speaker 1: Chiefs owners. Hunt's family had been legacy owners in the
- 34:12Speaker 1: NFL back to the AFL days and the merger in
- 34:14Speaker 1: nineteen seventy, so they are really dialed into NFL headquarters
- 34:17Speaker 1: stuff in the league office, and they're friends of the league. Well,
- 34:20Speaker 1: their owner Hunt has come out and said they don't
- 34:22Speaker 1: think the chief the Chiefs don't expect to be weak
- 34:25Speaker 1: ones at Seattle at.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Here's it is then that leaves the Bears. To me, actually, Patriots,
- 34:31Speaker 3: Christ's right, Yorkers could but I would want to watch
- 34:35Speaker 3: the Bears. We'll continue.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I agree with you there the Patriots who wants to
- 34:41Speaker 1: run back the Super Bowl.
- 34:42Speaker 3: Let's be honest. Nationally, we'd love to see.
- 34:44Speaker 1: The Seahawks in Seattle host the Patriots for how that
- 34:47Speaker 1: went last time. But twenty nine thirteen doesn't even begin
- 34:49Speaker 1: to tell you what lotside of that door was.
- 34:51Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a beach out to Gunzalez being the
- 34:54Speaker 4: best player of all time and just saving just it
- 34:58Speaker 4: could have been fifty nothing.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that was a beatdown. I don't think
- 35:04Speaker 1: the league wants to put that as your showcase.
- 35:08Speaker 4: There's no way you can actually look at the vrabel
- 35:10Speaker 4: story just about that on the field, can't.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I don't think he can't.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Unfortunately, as much as Patriots fans want the chance to,
- 35:17Speaker 4: hey we it's not it won't be good TV.
- 35:20Speaker 1: I think McDonald's defense just annihilated Drake May and the Patriots.
- 35:23Speaker 1: So to me, that leaves Caleb Williams and the Bears
- 35:26Speaker 1: or the.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Chiefs and you know what offensive mastermind defense.
- 35:31Speaker 4: I think those two colliding that it's it's it's writing
- 35:35Speaker 4: itself now, I think, So the Chiefs go ahead and
- 35:38Speaker 4: get that story up.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's not how we do it in the
- 35:42Speaker 1: real journalism business. We just write something that hasn't happened
- 35:44Speaker 1: yet if we don't have confirmation of it. But if
- 35:46Speaker 1: I can get something and comfort about right there. But
- 35:50Speaker 1: the Chiefs would be a risk because Mahomes there's reports
- 35:54Speaker 1: that he will take part in some off season practices
- 35:57Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, which would think that would make you
- 36:00Speaker 1: think he'll be back for week one, But that torn
- 36:03Speaker 1: acl was just in December. I mean that's nine and
- 36:07Speaker 1: a half months until the season opener, nine and a
- 36:10Speaker 1: half months of recovery. That would be a big risk.
- 36:13Speaker 1: And what if he has a setback. What if he's
- 36:15Speaker 1: doing practices and training camp and then decides, you know
- 36:18Speaker 1: what we're gonna We went too fast, We need to
- 36:19Speaker 1: back off of this. And the NBC and the NFL
- 36:22Speaker 1: are struck with Chiefs with who's the backup for the
- 36:25Speaker 1: Chiefs right now against the Seahawks in Week one? So
- 36:28Speaker 1: that's I think that's too big of a risk. So
- 36:31Speaker 1: let's go. I'm thinking Bears people in Chicago. I know
- 36:34Speaker 1: think it's going to be Bears at Seahawks for Week one, four, nine,
- 36:37Speaker 1: four or five one. Hearing that and all of that,
- 36:39Speaker 1: I see some of you say Patriots because we want
- 36:41Speaker 1: to beat them down again. But we would love that
- 36:44Speaker 1: here in Seattle. But I don't think national audience, I
- 36:47Speaker 1: don't think is going to be something NBC in NFL
- 36:49Speaker 1: wants to see another route. The last game is the
- 36:52Speaker 1: super Bowl, the very next game, and the real game
- 36:55Speaker 1: is the same one.
- 36:56Speaker 4: I don't think Bears have a chance to bring in
- 36:57Speaker 4: a lot of money. I think we'll monetize big time
- 37:02Speaker 4: versus Patriots.
- 37:03Speaker 1: And we're talking about advertiser dollars, and you can promise
- 37:06Speaker 1: advertisers amount of money based on a matchup and you
- 37:08Speaker 1: charge them. Yeah, you can probably charge advertisers more money
- 37:13Speaker 1: for a Bears Seahawks than a Seahawks Pictriots redo in
- 37:17Speaker 1: Week one. Anyway, Now, if Mahomes was on the table,
- 37:19Speaker 1: you have absolutely plan. I think that's a slam dunk
- 37:22Speaker 1: week one. But that to me is just too big
- 37:25Speaker 1: a risk that he may not be back fully or
- 37:28Speaker 1: even fully he's not. They could have a setback ACL things.
- 37:32Speaker 1: I know everyone has ACL not everyone, but a lot
- 37:34Speaker 1: of people have acls. It's no slam dunk and he's
- 37:37Speaker 1: going to be back week one. It's it's trending toward
- 37:39Speaker 1: that way. Four nine four five one. We'll read back
- 37:41Speaker 1: your text at eleven thirty up. Next we'll go to
- 37:43Speaker 1: New York. Ryan Dunlevy, the national NFL writer for the
- 37:47Speaker 1: New York Post, will join us live on the Beacon
- 37:49Speaker 1: Plumbing Hotline next on ninety three point three KJRFM.
