Chuck and Buck 4-30 H1: Mariners win Minnesota series, who are the next Seahawks? · Chuck in the Morning

0:01
Speaker 1: Good morning anybody out there, you lie and gentlemen, welcome
0:08
Speaker 1: to Chaos.
0:09
Speaker 2: Let the games begin, and now.
0:14
Speaker 3: Game Coffea broadcasting live from the city of Champion. Now
0:18
Speaker 3: the World Champions, Crystal Clear FM, stereo, new stereomonic sound spectacular.
0:23
Speaker 4: All right, now the important stuff.
0:25
Speaker 3: The next four hours are powered by the Chuleta Frasort Casino,
0:28
Speaker 3: Draft Kings sports book.
0:29
Speaker 2: You got no, we've got the whole guy or the
0:32
Speaker 2: action never stopped? Are you writing this down?
0:35
Speaker 5: No? Something?
0:36
Speaker 2: This is chugging buck in the morning.
0:39
Speaker 4: You people are beyond let's go. Let's get the game off,
1:25
Speaker 4: all right.
1:26
Speaker 2: I don't think we're on the air, but oh okay,
1:29
Speaker 2: well I'm not hearing a darn thing, including myself, so
1:33
Speaker 2: good morning and welcome in. I'm not going to be
1:34
Speaker 2: able to hear you, Andrews. So we're not going to
1:36
Speaker 2: be able to have a conversation here. So we have
1:40
Speaker 2: some technical difficulties once again here this morning, and that
1:43
Speaker 2: is unfortunate, but we will try to meddle through it.
1:47
Speaker 2: I don't know what is happening overnight that we suddenly
1:50
Speaker 2: lose our connection here on our board to me, but
1:55
Speaker 2: this is three times in the last week and it's
1:56
Speaker 2: rather frustrating for me, so we appreciate you joining us
2:00
Speaker 2: here on the radio program. Happy Thursday to you. It
2:04
Speaker 2: is Chuck and Buck in the mornings Sports Radio ninety
2:07
Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM. No Bucky Jacobson today and no
2:11
Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan either. She took the day off. She's on
2:14
Speaker 2: a field trip. For goodness sake, she went with her
2:17
Speaker 2: daughter on a field trip. I think it's really more
2:19
Speaker 2: about Ashley, frankly, than it is about Palmer. So you
2:24
Speaker 2: know what you do on a field trip. I mean,
2:26
Speaker 2: the biggest joy about it is to go get a
2:29
Speaker 2: snack cake, make sure you make a sandwich without mayonnaise,
2:34
Speaker 2: and then you head to some sort of place that
2:37
Speaker 2: you wouldn't normally go on a bus in the middle
2:40
Speaker 2: of your school day. We all remember that I didn't
2:43
Speaker 2: have very sexy things that I got to go to,
2:46
Speaker 2: not that all that interesting when I was a kid.
2:49
Speaker 2: But I think it is better now than what it was.
2:52
Speaker 2: I think it's worse now. In my hometown, I used
2:56
Speaker 2: to get the newspaper of my hometown, which very comical.
3:02
Speaker 2: Often like the headline would be, you know. Shirley Johnson
3:06
Speaker 2: hosts a tea party. That would be the headline. And
3:09
Speaker 2: that's how small a town that I come from. So
3:12
Speaker 2: I remember getting a newspaper, the most recent one, and
3:18
Speaker 2: it came out weekly, because you know, cutting news in Brighton,
3:21
Speaker 2: it's got to be delivered weekly. And the headline one
3:24
Speaker 2: time in my local newspaper, the Southwestern Journal, was the
3:29
Speaker 2: Missus Milner's third grade class goes to Milner's grocery store
3:36
Speaker 2: for a field trip. So, in other words, the daughter
3:40
Speaker 2: of the guy who runs the grocery store in the
3:44
Speaker 2: small town that I'm from, without any other idea as
3:49
Speaker 2: to what to do on a field trip, just decided, Hey,
3:53
Speaker 2: why don't you come over to my grocery store, daughter
3:55
Speaker 2: and bring your kids. So, yes, that's that's the trips
4:00
Speaker 2: that take place in my hometown. Hopefully Ashley's got a
4:03
Speaker 2: little better one than what we have to deal with
4:06
Speaker 2: in Brighton, Illinois. But we do have a show plan
4:10
Speaker 2: for you, whether you're listening or not, whether we're on
4:12
Speaker 2: the air or not, I have no idea, but we're
4:15
Speaker 2: going to We're going to get through it here today.
4:17
Speaker 2: We've got four hours planned for you today as always,
4:20
Speaker 2: and we do have a grand Slam cash word to
4:23
Speaker 2: give you as well. It is deposit d E p
4:26
Speaker 2: O s I T. That's deposit. I initially, when I
4:30
Speaker 2: look down at our keywords, the small little print on
4:33
Speaker 2: the paper, my eyes weren't quite adjusted yet. I thought
4:36
Speaker 2: it said defrost, and I thought that's a weird word
4:39
Speaker 2: for the Grand Slam Cash contest. But no, it is
4:42
Speaker 2: deposit d E p O s I T. So if
4:46
Speaker 2: you want to go to ninety three three kh a
4:48
Speaker 2: r dot com, go ahead and enter the word deposit
4:51
Speaker 2: and you've got a shot at one thousand dollars in
4:54
Speaker 2: Grand Slam Cash. We will give you your keyword every single
4:57
Speaker 2: hour here on our radio show and through it the
5:00
Speaker 2: broadcast day on ninety three to three KJRFM. We will
5:05
Speaker 2: also get to what's on tap In a moment, we
5:07
Speaker 2: will map out for you everything that is going on
5:11
Speaker 2: today on our show. And we do have a varied
5:16
Speaker 2: lineup of guests here today, not the typical topics that
5:20
Speaker 2: we would discuss on any given day, So we look
5:23
Speaker 2: forward to that. But let's go ahead and dive into
5:25
Speaker 2: our top story, and that is, in my opinion, the
5:28
Speaker 2: Mariners getting the job done in Minnesota. I mean, it
5:32
Speaker 2: was not the easiest thing to come away with that victory,
5:36
Speaker 2: maybe caught a break or two in order to come
5:38
Speaker 2: away with that victory yesterday afternoon in Minneapolis. And yet
5:41
Speaker 2: the Mariners do get it done. They take out the
5:44
Speaker 2: Minnesota Twins five to three, your final score in yesterday's contest,
5:50
Speaker 2: and Andre s Munoz closing it out. Cole Young with
5:53
Speaker 2: a couple of big hits. Again, He's got three RBIs
5:56
Speaker 2: in the game, so we continues his excellence season that
5:59
Speaker 2: he's having so far. But I think the big story
6:01
Speaker 2: here is that the Mariners have officially climbed out of
6:06
Speaker 2: the hole. Doesn't mean they won't dig another one, doesn't
6:08
Speaker 2: mean they've put away the shovel, doesn't mean that they
6:11
Speaker 2: won't somehow relax and some sort of weird trance and
6:15
Speaker 2: maybe slip up as they return home to Kansas City.
6:18
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're operating like a machine just yet,
6:22
Speaker 2: which I think that they will at some point this season.
6:25
Speaker 2: But they did at least climb out of their hole
6:28
Speaker 2: that they dug for themselves. Keep in mind, they were
6:30
Speaker 2: four and nine at one point, and then they were
6:33
Speaker 2: eleven and fifteen at one point. Well, here they sit,
6:36
Speaker 2: thirty two games into the season, a little over a
6:39
Speaker 2: month into the season, not many days off, and they
6:43
Speaker 2: have fought their way back to five hundred at sixteen
6:47
Speaker 2: and sixteen, winning two out of three over the Minnesota Twins,
6:51
Speaker 2: and now they come home. Now this got misinterpreted by
6:55
Speaker 2: our own Ryan Healy. I don't know how many of
6:57
Speaker 2: you listening right now at six o'clock heard Ryan he
7:00
Speaker 2: yesterday at nine o'clock. I thought I was clear. Maybe
7:04
Speaker 2: I wasn't. So maybe I need to be clearer to
7:07
Speaker 2: our audience since I wasn't all that clear to Ryan Heally,
7:11
Speaker 2: because Heally was still mocking me yesterday via text, saying,
7:16
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoyed your World Series win today because
7:20
Speaker 2: I had suggested that the Mariners this to this point
7:25
Speaker 2: in the season. If I wasn't clear to this point
7:28
Speaker 2: in the season, I said, this is the game that
7:31
Speaker 2: I've wanted the most. I want to win Thursday's game
7:35
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, excuse me, Wednesday's game in Minnesota, win the series,
7:39
Speaker 2: and get back to five hundred. To me, it seemed
7:43
Speaker 2: like the perfect chance for you to have finished digging
7:47
Speaker 2: out of that hole you created for yourself. And it
7:49
Speaker 2: was nobody's fault, but the Mariners. But to me, I
7:53
Speaker 2: wanted that win. I wanted the sub five hundred record
7:57
Speaker 2: to be done yesterday, and for a lot of reasons.
8:02
Speaker 2: Number one, it was felt to me like the perfect
8:05
Speaker 2: time to kind of hit the overall reset button on
8:08
Speaker 2: the season. I mean, think about it, you still have
8:12
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty games left in the regular season,
8:16
Speaker 2: so there's a long way to go. But you had
8:18
Speaker 2: an opportunity yesterday to get back to five hundred, still
8:23
Speaker 2: remain within one game of first place. So if you
8:26
Speaker 2: win yesterday, the worst you could be the very next
8:28
Speaker 2: day is still just one game back of the A's
8:31
Speaker 2: who did win last night. So the Mariners do wake
8:33
Speaker 2: up this morning one game back of the A's in
8:35
Speaker 2: first place. But you also have almost two entire days here.
8:40
Speaker 2: You've got from a day game on Wednesday to a
8:42
Speaker 2: night game on Friday. That's technically more than forty eight
8:45
Speaker 2: hours off, which for a team that's only had three
8:48
Speaker 2: days off so far this season, I mean, they played
8:51
Speaker 2: thirty two games in thirty five days. So for a
8:55
Speaker 2: team that has only had three days off to get
8:58
Speaker 2: this stretch of over four forty eight hours between baseball games, man,
9:03
Speaker 2: it just felt like this is it. Get this victory today,
9:08
Speaker 2: finish having climbed out of the hole that you created
9:11
Speaker 2: for yourself, come back home, get fully rested. You get
9:16
Speaker 2: two nights of sleep in your own bed. We always
9:19
Speaker 2: hear that from baseball players. Oh how therapeutic it is
9:22
Speaker 2: to sleep in my own bed the night before, and
9:25
Speaker 2: to see the family and make sure the dog's okay,
9:27
Speaker 2: you know, things of that nature. And so you get
9:30
Speaker 2: two full days of that, and then you're going to
9:34
Speaker 2: get to play at home where you are better traditionally
9:37
Speaker 2: and certainly have been better this year. You welcome in
9:40
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Royals. There's a chance that Brendan Donovan's
9:43
Speaker 2: there waiting for you with open arms at the top
9:47
Speaker 2: step of the dugout, ready to play again. So it'll
9:49
Speaker 2: be nice to insert him back into the lineup and
9:52
Speaker 2: get our everyday third basement back into the swing of things.
9:56
Speaker 2: And so the opportunity to have all of that created
10:00
Speaker 2: for you as you get ready to host the Kansas
10:04
Speaker 2: City Royals and play the next one hundred and thirty games.
10:06
Speaker 2: And despite how crappy you played in the first thirteen
10:10
Speaker 2: and maybe the first twenty five, here you sit now
10:14
Speaker 2: like with one hundred and thirty to go. Nobody ran
10:17
Speaker 2: away with anything in the American League West, and now
10:21
Speaker 2: with the win yesterday, you get to look at a
10:25
Speaker 2: standings where you are five hundred. You are no longer
10:28
Speaker 2: a sub five hundred team. So to me that felt important,
10:31
Speaker 2: not like if you lost, we're in trouble important, but
10:36
Speaker 2: from the standpoint of man, if you get to press
10:39
Speaker 2: a reset button at this point, with the time off
10:43
Speaker 2: that you're staring at, man, this would feel really good.
10:46
Speaker 2: Let's just get it done. Let's win the two out
10:49
Speaker 2: of three, and let's get started with this season. So basically,
10:53
Speaker 2: you get to hit the reset button. You got one
10:55
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty games to go, and the Mariners are
10:59
Speaker 2: are underway. So I felt it was a big deal.
11:02
Speaker 2: I thought that this felt like an important win. Ryan
11:05
Speaker 2: Healy is a smart ass, and he told me otherwise,
11:09
Speaker 2: and so that's that's how that shook out. So yeah,
11:13
Speaker 2: so yeah, I guess Andrews is here. I don't know
11:16
Speaker 2: what the hell is happening now.
11:17
Speaker 6: They're working on some stuff. We are in the air.
11:19
Speaker 6: Don't work okay, but they're remoting into my computer. So
11:22
Speaker 6: I'm here to chat with you for this segment and
11:25
Speaker 6: then we'll get to what's on tapping a little bit.
11:27
Speaker 2: But I agree it's a big marriage. When shouldn't you
11:29
Speaker 2: be in there, like monitoring and letting them.
11:32
Speaker 6: They're they're checking some stuff out, okay from from my
11:36
Speaker 6: end in there, but I wanted to make sure you
11:38
Speaker 6: had a little partner.
11:38
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm good. I don't. Yeah, I don't. I don't
11:40
Speaker 2: really need it. I mean, I'm the only reason I'm distracted,
11:44
Speaker 2: and I think the audience could tell I'm distracted, is
11:46
Speaker 2: because I don't have any audio.
11:47
Speaker 6: I can't hear myself. Yeah, we're working on that right now.
11:50
Speaker 6: But you are on the air a lot and clear streaking.
11:52
Speaker 6: iHeart terrestrial radio.
11:54
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it's like the third time this has happened
11:56
Speaker 2: to us, frustrating. So I don't know what the hell
11:59
Speaker 2: is going on with I mean, we changed over a
12:02
Speaker 2: bunch of things technically here at the studio. Somehow, somehow,
12:07
Speaker 2: I think the YouTube things interfered with it. I don't
12:09
Speaker 2: know what has exactly occurred, but just wanted to give
12:12
Speaker 2: an update. Yeah, we we, Yes, we did not. We
12:15
Speaker 2: were not on the air for an hour couple of
12:17
Speaker 2: days and now here we sit without without me having audio.
12:24
Speaker 2: So anyway, we're trying to work on it. If I
12:26
Speaker 2: sound distracted, it's because I am. That's that's the bottom
12:31
Speaker 2: line here. And so one other thing that I did
12:34
Speaker 2: want to point out in our opening segment, and that
12:37
Speaker 2: is Matt Brash, of course leaving the game with an
12:40
Speaker 2: injury yesterday, and so it looked terrible at first, and
12:45
Speaker 2: certainly I was worried that like the rest of you,
12:49
Speaker 2: Oh man, that looks like he's gonna be out for
12:53
Speaker 2: a while, and he probably will be. He's probably gonna
12:56
Speaker 2: go on the injury list with this, but you certainly
13:01
Speaker 2: fear somebody that just came back from Tommy John surgery
13:05
Speaker 2: having a second one this quickly. Then you're wondering, man,
13:09
Speaker 2: is he gonna be out for a year? Is he
13:11
Speaker 2: gonna be out for a year and a half? Is
13:12
Speaker 2: he ever going to be the same? To have two
13:14
Speaker 2: Tommy John surgeries that quickly, one next to the other,
13:18
Speaker 2: that is worrisome. Now. I felt it was a good
13:24
Speaker 2: update afterwards that Matt actually was arguing on the mound
13:28
Speaker 2: to stay in the game, that it is something in
13:31
Speaker 2: his side that he had been dealing with for a
13:34
Speaker 2: couple of uh for about for a couple of days now,
13:38
Speaker 2: and during his bullpen session, and he actually thought he
13:41
Speaker 2: could keep going on the mound yesterday and they took
13:46
Speaker 2: him out, and understandably so. But it's nothing I thought.
13:50
Speaker 2: When a first grimaced, I'm like, oh, no, he's felt
13:53
Speaker 2: that elbow before. And it's the elbow again, that's what
13:57
Speaker 2: I first thought. So that's that's panic time. And then
14:00
Speaker 2: I thought, oh wait a minute, that might be shoulder.
14:03
Speaker 2: That might be laborum, and that's concerning too, but at
14:08
Speaker 2: least it's not the elbow. At least it's not the
14:11
Speaker 2: exact same injury, and we've got to go through this
14:13
Speaker 2: process again, or he has to go through this process again.
14:17
Speaker 2: It turns out it's the side, which probably isn't great
14:20
Speaker 2: news anytime you've got some sort of oblique and I
14:23
Speaker 2: suppose that it still could be the laborm, then that's
14:27
Speaker 2: gonna be something that and you've seen the way that
14:29
Speaker 2: they operate. They certainly are gonna be cautious with all
14:33
Speaker 2: of their pitchers and you understand why. So he's still
14:37
Speaker 2: probably gonna miss some time. But I think that the
14:41
Speaker 2: two other scenarios, elbow or shoulder, would have been a
14:45
Speaker 2: lot more nightmarish than what we're hearing now from Matt Brash.
14:50
Speaker 2: So hopefully he'll be good in the long term this season, hopefully,
14:55
Speaker 2: but I do believe we're gonna be without him for
14:57
Speaker 2: a while. And I will say this because I've certainly
15:02
Speaker 2: been pretty vocal thirty two games into the season about
15:06
Speaker 2: whether or not Dan Wilson has been using his bullpen
15:10
Speaker 2: the right way. Anders and I had this conversation off
15:13
Speaker 2: the air a few times. I think Dan Wilson does
15:17
Speaker 2: just fine when the organization when you get to the
15:20
Speaker 2: second half of the season, because he's managed in two
15:24
Speaker 2: second halves right at the tail end of twenty twenty
15:27
Speaker 2: four and then in twenty twenty five, obviously a full season.
15:30
Speaker 2: But Dan, when he can just say, hey, give me
15:34
Speaker 2: what I need to win the game, then I think
15:37
Speaker 2: he does fine. I think the problem with Dan is
15:41
Speaker 2: when when you are telling him, Okay, we need to
15:46
Speaker 2: win the game, but it's also really important and maybe
15:51
Speaker 2: more important that this guy and this guy and this
15:54
Speaker 2: guy get arrest today, and that that guy also can
15:57
Speaker 2: only pitch a third of an inning and he can
16:01
Speaker 2: can't exceed seven pitches. You know, when you start putting
16:04
Speaker 2: that long term stuff into the equation right with Dan,
16:09
Speaker 2: and he can't just focus on that guy's the best
16:13
Speaker 2: guy for the job today, Can I use him? And
16:16
Speaker 2: then you find out, no, you can't use him because
16:18
Speaker 2: we got to think about the long term health of
16:20
Speaker 2: the player. We got to think of the long term
16:22
Speaker 2: health of the team. So my reaction to that has been,
16:27
Speaker 2: I think you're being overcautious. And whether that's Dan or
16:30
Speaker 2: whether that's the organization, or whether that's the organization and
16:34
Speaker 2: Dan not being on the same page. We had a
16:37
Speaker 2: relief corps that was top three and fewest innings pitched
16:42
Speaker 2: for most of this season thus far, okay, and yet
16:46
Speaker 2: we were already we were running out of pitchers, and
16:50
Speaker 2: that to me in the middle of games that we
16:54
Speaker 2: were tied in or down run, down a run or
16:56
Speaker 2: whatever the case, or we're lead even leading, and to
16:59
Speaker 2: me that seemed like, Okay, we're not using our resources
17:04
Speaker 2: as well as what we should be using our resources.
17:07
Speaker 2: And so to me, that is the that was the
17:10
Speaker 2: frustration for me. So I vocalized that numerous times here
17:14
Speaker 2: on the radio show. And so now we're seeing Dan
17:21
Speaker 2: in a situation where he actually in the last week
17:25
Speaker 2: started managing a little more aggressively toward winning the games, right,
17:29
Speaker 2: and now you end up with an injured player in
17:32
Speaker 2: Matt Brush. We're getting the wins, it's working, it's been
17:36
Speaker 2: more effective to try to get wins. But now all
17:39
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you get Matt Brash, and I couldn't
17:41
Speaker 2: help but think I couldn't help feel a little bit guilty,
17:44
Speaker 2: even though I know they don't listen to me. He's
17:46
Speaker 2: leaving the game, and I'm like, oh, man, maybe you
17:50
Speaker 2: should just be cautious at this time of the year.
17:52
Speaker 2: Maybe you should be patient. Maybe you should go ahead
17:55
Speaker 2: and try to get the win with Cole will Cox,
17:58
Speaker 2: even though you're probably not going to get the win
18:00
Speaker 2: with Cole Wilcox. Maybe in the long term, that is
18:03
Speaker 2: the better scenario going forward. It certainly crossed my mind.
18:08
Speaker 2: I certainly hope that Matt Brash didn't get injured because
18:11
Speaker 2: he wasn't quite ready for the back to back workload
18:16
Speaker 2: that they've given him in the last couple of days.
18:18
Speaker 2: And so that's some of the things that have been
18:22
Speaker 2: racing through my mind here in the last twenty four
18:26
Speaker 2: hours as we get ready to press that reset button,
18:30
Speaker 2: return home and really dig in to the rest of
18:33
Speaker 2: the year and win this damn division, and I think
18:35
Speaker 2: eventually we'll pull away from this division. So I think
18:38
Speaker 2: we've got the machinery up and going. Let's find out
18:42
Speaker 2: what's on tap for the rest of the show. What's
18:47
Speaker 2: on TEP? What's on TEP? All right, Mariners win yesterday
18:51
Speaker 2: five to three over the Twins, and they will have
18:54
Speaker 2: a day off today and then host the Kansas City
18:56
Speaker 2: Royals on Friday. NBA Playoffs. There's no KD for the Rockets,
19:01
Speaker 2: there's no Luca for the Lakers right now, and all
19:04
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the series that looked like it was
19:06
Speaker 2: going to go the Lakers way. They were up three
19:08
Speaker 2: to zero at one point. The Rockets, the Young Rockets
19:11
Speaker 2: KDLS Rockets have now won two straight games, and suddenly
19:16
Speaker 2: you're wondering if the Lakers are going to choke this
19:18
Speaker 2: thing away. Son ninety three the final score last night.
19:23
Speaker 2: The Rockets have won back to back games, and so
19:26
Speaker 2: the Lakers will have to go to Houston for Game
19:29
Speaker 2: number six. But suddenly that looks like the Lakers might
19:32
Speaker 2: blow that series. Meanwhile, Cleveland, they're up three to two
19:36
Speaker 2: on the Toronto Raptors in the series. The Cavaliers trailed
19:40
Speaker 2: for a lot of that game, but they end up
19:43
Speaker 2: pulling away there late in the fourth quarter and they
19:46
Speaker 2: win it by a final score of one twenty five
19:48
Speaker 2: to one twenty. So they're up three to two, and
19:51
Speaker 2: Detroit stayed alive last night with a one sixteen to
19:54
Speaker 2: one oh nine win over the Magic. The Magic three
19:57
Speaker 2: to two series. Right now, they still lead the series,
20:02
Speaker 2: but the Detroit Pistons do stay alive last night in
20:06
Speaker 2: credible performances by the superstars in the series, Paolo Bankero
20:10
Speaker 2: scored forty five and he was matched by Cad Cunningham's
20:13
Speaker 2: forty five as well. Tonight, it'll be New York at
20:15
Speaker 2: Atlanta with the Knicks trying to close it out. They're
20:18
Speaker 2: up three to two, Boston at Philadelphia, the Celtics trying
20:22
Speaker 2: to close it out. They're up three to two, and
20:24
Speaker 2: Minnesota will be home to Denver, Minnesota not only trying
20:27
Speaker 2: to close it out, but pull off the upset. They're
20:30
Speaker 2: up three to two. So those are the three games
20:32
Speaker 2: tonight and the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Montreal Canadians are
20:36
Speaker 2: up on the Tampa Bay Lightning. You want to talk
20:37
Speaker 2: about a huge upset in the first round. If Montreal
20:41
Speaker 2: could pull this off. They're up three to two after
20:43
Speaker 2: a three to two win last night. Las Vegas and
20:46
Speaker 2: Utah man what a series that they've had. It went
20:48
Speaker 2: to double overtime last night and the Golden Knights did
20:51
Speaker 2: pull off the victory five to four over the Mammoth.
20:53
Speaker 2: So Las Vegas is up three to two, and Philadelphia
20:57
Speaker 2: closed out Pittsburgh by a final score of one to
21:00
Speaker 2: nothing last night. The Philadelphia Flyers take the series and
21:04
Speaker 2: they advance over their Pennsylvania brethren. Tonight, it'll be Dallas
21:09
Speaker 2: at Minnesota with the wild trying to close out the Stars.
21:13
Speaker 2: The Wilder up three to two and Anaheim a chance
21:16
Speaker 2: to close out Edmondson, which would be another huge upset.
21:19
Speaker 2: Both those would be huge first round upsets. So Anaheim
21:22
Speaker 2: trying to take out Connor McDavid and the Oilers tonight
21:25
Speaker 2: as Anaheim is up three to two. And finally you've
21:29
Speaker 2: got Kentucky Derby Week this week, we're going to spend
21:32
Speaker 2: some time on that with Dick Girardi today at seven
21:35
Speaker 2: point thirty. He joins us every single year, and it's
21:38
Speaker 2: Dogs after Dark on Friday, and you can catch that
21:41
Speaker 2: coverage right here on the flagship Sports Radio ninety three
21:44
Speaker 2: point three KJRFMS. We're counting down the days toward that.
21:48
Speaker 2: Andy Avolo, speaking of football, is going to be joining
21:51
Speaker 2: us today. He is the defensive coordinator at TCU. He's
21:55
Speaker 2: going to tell us all we want to know about
21:56
Speaker 2: Bud Clark, the second round pick of the Seahawks, at
21:59
Speaker 2: eight o'clock. And our friend Spencer Hawes will join us
22:01
Speaker 2: today at nine o'clock to talk about the NBA playoffs.
22:05
Speaker 2: So there you have it. We are underway. As clunky
22:08
Speaker 2: as start as it has been, we are at least
22:10
Speaker 2: underway here on this Thursday, and we should get things
22:14
Speaker 2: to smooth out. We've got Mariners morning after and anders
22:17
Speaker 2: Hurst coming your way next on Sports Radio ninety three
22:20
Speaker 2: point three KHRFM. Good morning to you, Chuck Powell with you,
22:27
Speaker 2: anders Hurst with you, filling in for Ashley Ryan. The
22:31
Speaker 2: technical difficulty where it's not my fault, yeah it's not
22:34
Speaker 2: and fault the changeover technical difficulties. Apparently the board resets
22:39
Speaker 2: overnight every single night now, which is something that we've
22:42
Speaker 2: never dealt with before. I'm not even supposed to be
22:44
Speaker 2: telling you this, but there's no way I'm going to
22:46
Speaker 2: make myself or Anders look bad if we sound clunky
22:52
Speaker 2: or distracted. It's because of our technical difficulties that we
22:55
Speaker 2: continue to start the show with here as of late,
22:58
Speaker 2: and it is frustrating as hell. Hopefully you're sticking with us.
23:01
Speaker 2: We'll get into some analysis, we'll get into the plan here.
23:05
Speaker 2: We just played the winning music, so that's good news.
23:08
Speaker 2: The Mariners did win yesterday afternoon against the Minnesota Twins
23:12
Speaker 2: to take the series two games to three. Got blown
23:15
Speaker 2: out in that first game. They did a little bit
23:17
Speaker 2: of late game blowing out in game number two, and
23:21
Speaker 2: then yesterday jumped out to a one nothing lead in
23:24
Speaker 2: the rubber match against Taj Bradley a JP Crawford solo
23:28
Speaker 2: home run, which is nice to see. JP. You know,
23:31
Speaker 2: I've been a little hard on JP so far this season.
23:34
Speaker 2: He got on base four times yesterday, so good for Crawford.
23:37
Speaker 2: Yesterday got the scoring started at one to nothing. Twins
23:40
Speaker 2: then took a two to one lead against George Kirby
23:43
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the fourth and then no scoring
23:46
Speaker 2: until the seventh inning, when the Mariners tied things up
23:50
Speaker 2: at two apiece. Then Minnesota takes the lead back in
23:54
Speaker 2: the bottom of the eighth to make it three to two,
23:57
Speaker 2: and so the Mariners had to rally in the ninth inning.
24:00
Speaker 2: They had to come up with their best inning, their
24:02
Speaker 2: crooked number inning when their backs were up against the wall,
24:06
Speaker 2: and sure enough they get the job done. Randy Rose
24:09
Speaker 2: Arena walks single by dom Canzone put two guys on
24:15
Speaker 2: and then they got into scoring position for Cole Young
24:18
Speaker 2: to two broken backgrounder off the mound in the center field.
24:24
Speaker 1: A Rose arenahead revot scores stay hot Cole Young. Nothing
24:30
Speaker 1: but smiles from Young as he has given the Maritors
24:34
Speaker 1: the lead and they cannot wait to put him on
24:37
Speaker 1: the plane and get him out of the Twin Cities.
24:41
Speaker 2: That's Aaron Goldsmith on the call last night Mariners television.
24:45
Speaker 2: It sounded like this to me, high job.
24:47
Speaker 4: Oh yah, here's a bache to go.
24:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like you.
24:51
Speaker 6: And I'm cheering when my two month old is asleep
24:54
Speaker 6: in the next room.
24:57
Speaker 2: Yes, that's good. Cole Young comes through with the base hit,
25:07
Speaker 2: knocks into runs, take a four to three lead, added
25:10
Speaker 2: a run for good measure, and then Andres Munos kind
25:13
Speaker 2: of dominated the Twins in the bottom of the ninth
25:16
Speaker 2: for those that we're worried about Andres Munos. I told you,
25:19
Speaker 2: and don't worry about Andres Munos. He seems to be
25:22
Speaker 2: back on track right now. But the talk lately about
25:26
Speaker 2: the Mariners team is not that they've gotten back to
25:29
Speaker 2: five hundred or the starting pitching. I think people get
25:32
Speaker 2: bored talking about how good our starting pitching is, or
25:36
Speaker 2: even that Josh Naylor and Julio have shown signs of
25:39
Speaker 2: having absolutely come out of their early season slump. The
25:43
Speaker 2: talk on this road trip, and not just by us,
25:46
Speaker 2: by opposing broadcasters and pretty much everybody in the industry,
25:50
Speaker 2: is how impressed they are with Cole Young. He was fantastic.
25:55
Speaker 2: He hit five hundred on this road trip. Yesterday, the
25:58
Speaker 2: big hit that knocked in two runs ended up being
26:02
Speaker 2: the game winner. Here he is after the game.
26:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just hope that it got past the picture,
26:07
Speaker 5: you know, stuck underneath his.
26:08
Speaker 2: Glove, so I knew it was.
26:10
Speaker 5: It wasn't hit hard enough, so it was once it
26:13
Speaker 5: got past, and I knew that the run would score.
26:15
Speaker 5: So yeah, both hits it in two strikes as well.
26:20
Speaker 6: I mean, how much does that tell you about just
26:22
Speaker 6: how confident, locked in and feel of the.
26:24
Speaker 2: Play right now.
26:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel good, just you know, once to get
26:29
Speaker 5: the two strikes, it's kind of just you know, battle
26:32
Speaker 5: with the ball in play, you know, keep grinding me
26:34
Speaker 5: a bad just trying to get on base. But I
26:37
Speaker 5: feel good and the approach was good mentally. How much
26:40
Speaker 5: of a shift is it then you get to two strikes?
26:42
Speaker 5: Is there a significant shift that never are Yeah, I'd
26:47
Speaker 5: say it kind of double down on just putting the
26:49
Speaker 5: ball in play and just you know, knock striking out
26:53
Speaker 5: pretty much, and also just trying to trying not to
26:58
Speaker 5: chase as well. But yeah, I just shut up with
27:00
Speaker 5: the bone and play.
27:01
Speaker 3: Let's take the two strikes.
27:03
Speaker 2: That's Cole Young after the game, and and it got
27:06
Speaker 2: up to a whisper for me that time. But at
27:09
Speaker 2: first I didn't hear anything, and I'm like, wait a minute,
27:12
Speaker 2: is this the first press conference where the player is
27:14
Speaker 2: just miming his answers? Yep, exactly. Well, let me say, Cole,
27:18
Speaker 2: what tell me about that last hit?
27:20
Speaker 4: Oh?
27:20
Speaker 2: You felt like you were trapped inside a glass box
27:27
Speaker 2: and you still came through. Okay, okay, all right, all right,
27:29
Speaker 2: well how do you focus in that moment? Strikes? Yeah? Yeah,
27:32
Speaker 2: with two strikes and you know the team really needs
27:34
Speaker 2: a hit. Oh oh wait, like you're walking against the wind,
27:38
Speaker 2: so it feels like walking against the wind.
27:41
Speaker 4: Okay, all right.
27:42
Speaker 2: I don't know if the you know, black and white
27:44
Speaker 2: striped shirt was necessary and the white face paint was necessary,
27:48
Speaker 2: but I get what you're saying right now.
27:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, it doesn't help that you both thought Cole Young
27:54
Speaker 6: was a very soft spoken from the answer, and then
27:57
Speaker 6: Daniel Kramer, who was like just whispering question.
28:02
Speaker 2: Welcome to Chuck and Buckett the Masters. That's what this
28:04
Speaker 2: feels like this morning. Well, let's you and I talk
28:09
Speaker 2: about Cole Young, because man, I mean, you and I
28:14
Speaker 2: do Stove podcast together. You know how many times I said,
28:17
Speaker 2: don't worry about Cole Young. We're gonna like Cole Young.
28:21
Speaker 2: We're gonna like having Cole Young. But man, is he
28:24
Speaker 2: making an impression so far on everybody in the baseball
28:28
Speaker 2: world this season. And it was with the glove for
28:33
Speaker 2: most of the season, and now all of a sudden,
28:35
Speaker 2: he goes on this road trip and he's not like
28:38
Speaker 2: it's not like he's got some you know, twelve hundred ops,
28:42
Speaker 2: like he's slugging at a really high rate right now.
28:45
Speaker 2: But just the line drive quotient that he's producing. And then, man,
28:51
Speaker 2: there aren't many guys that I want at the plate
28:53
Speaker 2: right now more so than Cole Young in a situation
28:56
Speaker 2: like yesterday, It's not like he's stung that ball. He
28:57
Speaker 2: kind of dribbled it through. Even the Twins him for
29:01
Speaker 2: like a goofy you know, hit we got hit by.
29:05
Speaker 2: We got beat by a dribbler, I think was the
29:08
Speaker 2: comment yesterday made by Twins player or manager. But there's
29:13
Speaker 2: no question that he stung a lot of baseballs throughout
29:16
Speaker 2: this road trip, and people have taken notice. They the
29:21
Speaker 2: baseball world's fallen in love with our young second base.
29:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cole Young to be specific. So that's a very
29:26
Speaker 6: good one. Yeah for me. Like when he came up,
29:30
Speaker 6: he actually his profile as a prospect was a very
29:33
Speaker 6: contact first guy. And then when he came up last year,
29:36
Speaker 6: it seemed like he had a very like long swing
29:40
Speaker 6: and he would hit some moonshots. I remember he actually
29:42
Speaker 6: might have had the longest Mariners home ye last year
29:45
Speaker 6: he blasted a feeling right, But then you know, you
29:48
Speaker 6: didn't see that contact tools as heavily as his as
29:52
Speaker 6: his profile when he was a prospect was kind of
29:55
Speaker 6: advertised to be. So now I think I'm starting to
29:58
Speaker 6: see that a little bit more, with him just finding
30:00
Speaker 6: ways to, you know, hit the ball the other way
30:03
Speaker 6: that I think the first RBI that he actually did
30:05
Speaker 6: to tie the game of the seventh inning was more
30:07
Speaker 6: impressive of a hit.
30:08
Speaker 2: Obviously.
30:09
Speaker 6: He hits the ball over Byron Bucksman's head to the
30:12
Speaker 6: opposite field, which is really cool to see. He's hitting
30:16
Speaker 6: left hand and pitching now too, So yeah, I think
30:19
Speaker 6: there's an argument to be made. I'm looking around the
30:21
Speaker 6: American League he might be the best second baseman in the.
30:24
Speaker 2: American league't I haven't taken time to kind of study
30:28
Speaker 2: that just yet, but I know that right now. I
30:30
Speaker 2: know that his war is one of the best in
30:34
Speaker 2: baseball right now. But it depends on which war you
30:37
Speaker 2: look at, because there are two different ones. There's the
30:40
Speaker 2: one that ESPN uses Baseball Reference and fangrafts the team
30:44
Speaker 2: yes and Baseball yeah. And ESPN uses Baseball right yes,
30:48
Speaker 2: so Baseball Reference, and then f war is fan Grafts,
30:51
Speaker 2: and Baseball Reference puts a lot more defense into their
30:56
Speaker 2: war than what Fangrafts does. They lean very heavily toward offense,
31:00
Speaker 2: so his f war is not as impressive. But if
31:05
Speaker 2: you are on the side of I think baseball reverence
31:09
Speaker 2: is right. We don't give enough credit to great defense
31:12
Speaker 2: in this sport. Then you're talking about one of the
31:14
Speaker 2: ten eleven best wars in the sport right now from
31:19
Speaker 2: a first full season second baseman in Major League Baseball.
31:23
Speaker 2: It's exciting. Yeah, I love him. It's cool and just
31:26
Speaker 2: love him.
31:27
Speaker 6: Do you have any thoughts about moving him up to
31:29
Speaker 6: the lineup or do you like where he's at?
31:31
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. I didn't buy the Angie arguments about
31:34
Speaker 2: how he's getting better pitches at eight in the order.
31:38
Speaker 2: I think that's nonsense. I mean, love Angie, but I
31:41
Speaker 2: think that's nonsense because it doesn't matter. If it doesn't
31:44
Speaker 2: matter where you're hitting in the lineup, you're only going
31:46
Speaker 2: to get better or worse pitches based on who's hitting
31:49
Speaker 2: behind you. So even though he's hitting eight, he's got
31:52
Speaker 2: the worst hitter on the team hitting behind him right now,
31:55
Speaker 2: So people are going to be more careful with him
31:57
Speaker 2: at eight than they are going to be with him
31:59
Speaker 2: at five. Uh So I don't buy that argument, But
32:04
Speaker 2: I also don't feel it necessary to move him up
32:08
Speaker 2: in the order. Yeah, either if he's comfortable there right now,
32:12
Speaker 2: all I all I'm about right now is making Cole
32:14
Speaker 2: Young comfortable. And whatever he's doing right now, he seems
32:17
Speaker 2: to be getting better every day, seems to be more
32:20
Speaker 2: getting more confident every day at the plate. So I'm
32:22
Speaker 2: not gonna mess with that for a while.
32:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just seems like, especially with no Brendan Donovan
32:27
Speaker 6: at this point in time, it seems like, oh, just
32:29
Speaker 6: put him in lead off. You know, JP's actually hitting
32:32
Speaker 6: the ball well lately. So that's that's been.
32:35
Speaker 2: And if you mean when you meet, when you say lately,
32:37
Speaker 2: you mean yesterday, fair? Yes, yeah, sure we're talking how lately, Chuck,
32:45
Speaker 2: I mean really really lately he's been hitting. He really
32:49
Speaker 2: been staying the ball really recently.
32:51
Speaker 6: Yes, very recently. But he didn't get on base four
32:54
Speaker 6: times yesterday. Ye I give him a shout out for that.
32:56
Speaker 6: I got the scoring started or a home run. I
32:59
Speaker 6: hope he doesn't think home runner again. Yeah, I think
33:01
Speaker 6: he does. Yeah, I can hear you again.
33:04
Speaker 2: So whatever the engineers have done behind the scenes, it
33:08
Speaker 2: looks like we are back to normal. So yes, no
33:11
Speaker 2: more whispering, no more miming. I mean you did cut
33:15
Speaker 2: out a couple of times completely on me, and I'm like, great.
33:18
Speaker 2: For the rest of the show, I'm just gonna have
33:20
Speaker 2: to read Andrew's lips. Yes, the miming continues here, but
33:26
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna spread these tea leaves out on the
33:28
Speaker 2: table and then I'm gonna read him and try to
33:32
Speaker 2: figure out exactly what Anders thinks about the Mariner's fortunes.
33:35
Speaker 2: I mean, you can probably guess. Yeah, I'm gonna pull
33:37
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull some cards out and turn him over
33:39
Speaker 2: and just read Anders Mariners. See if I can forecast
33:44
Speaker 2: yeah fortune tell Anders thoughts on the Mariners going.
33:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, you could probably you know, guess that without having
33:50
Speaker 6: to do much work. Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions aren't good.
33:54
Speaker 6: He hates bunting something about Walks.
33:57
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like, well, now we actually are communicating again,
34:03
Speaker 2: like the medium was intended. Let's go all right, So
34:06
Speaker 2: day off today and then tomorrow the Kansady Royals will
34:10
Speaker 2: be in town for a weekend series. And as I
34:13
Speaker 2: stumbled through in the first segment to mention sixteen and sixteen,
34:17
Speaker 2: so back out back to the five hundred mark doesn't
34:20
Speaker 2: mean that you still don't have a shovel that you
34:22
Speaker 2: can bury yourself again. But it does feel like that
34:26
Speaker 2: was some hard work early in the season to get
34:29
Speaker 2: back to the even portion of your record. And so
34:33
Speaker 2: now you got one hundred and thirty two games or
34:34
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty games to prove to the world
34:36
Speaker 2: how much better you are than the rest of the
34:38
Speaker 2: teams in the American League West. And I certainly think
34:41
Speaker 2: that that's going to happen. All right, Coming up next,
34:43
Speaker 2: we'll talk a little Seahawks on the other side, because
34:48
Speaker 2: I found it very interesting yesterday an article about who
34:53
Speaker 2: could be the next Seahawks. I might argue the next
34:56
Speaker 2: Seahawks are the Seahawks. I'll explain next. Sports Radio ninety

35:24
Speaker 2: Begins the best show of our lives. Anders Urse, let's
35:27
Speaker 2: go all right, it's Anders and Chuck with you today.
35:30
Speaker 2: I'm without Bucky and Ashley here today we do have
35:35
Speaker 2: a lot to discuss on today's program, varied an array
35:39
Speaker 2: of guests on today's show. We're gonna talk Kentucky Derby,
35:42
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk Bud Clark, We're gonna talk NBA playoffs
35:45
Speaker 2: with our guests today. But certainly we're in the drafter math.
35:49
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard about the drafter math.
35:51
Speaker 2: That is enlightened me. Well, we're in the aftermath of
35:54
Speaker 2: the NFL draft, and you know, it's kind of a
35:57
Speaker 2: funny network's kind of a dark, cold world old sometimes.
36:01
Speaker 2: And so we'll also be in the drafter math later
36:05
Speaker 2: on in the program at nine thirty. But part of
36:07
Speaker 2: the drafter math is everybody trying to make sense, trying
36:10
Speaker 2: to take the next step, trying to figure out what
36:12
Speaker 2: the next conversations are. And I saw an article yesterday
36:15
Speaker 2: and I thought it was really well written. I think
36:18
Speaker 2: it was NFL dot Com. That's not important. The idea
36:21
Speaker 2: behind it was who are the next Seahawks? Who will
36:25
Speaker 2: be the twenty twenty six Seahawks, And I thought there
36:29
Speaker 2: were some pretty good suggestions. Houston Texans were brought up
36:32
Speaker 2: in that conversation. Mike, I can see that, Yeah, you
36:34
Speaker 2: can get CJ. Stroud back to what we thought he
36:37
Speaker 2: was turning into and not what we saw at the
36:39
Speaker 2: end of last year. That defense. Yeah, Houston Texans could
36:44
Speaker 2: be a team that wins the Super Bowl, but I
36:47
Speaker 2: think CJ. Stroud's a pretty big if right now. The
36:49
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Chargers were mentioned. Yeah, I can see that
36:52
Speaker 2: as well. If you can keep Justin Herbert from having
36:56
Speaker 2: attempted murder on his life thirteen times a game, then
37:01
Speaker 2: I think maybe, Yeah, I could see the Chargers well coached.
37:04
Speaker 2: I think I could see them taking a big step forward.
37:07
Speaker 2: But number one, get your offensive line healthy. I would
37:10
Speaker 2: love to see Justin Herbert have a full season without
37:13
Speaker 2: having the snot knocked out of him. But I also
37:16
Speaker 2: wonder if he brings some of that on himself. I
37:19
Speaker 2: don't want to make an exception for Justin Herbert. You know,
37:24
Speaker 2: I've criticized a lot of quarterbacks, including Russ and Gino
37:29
Speaker 2: for you're your own worst enemy, And it's hard for
37:32
Speaker 2: me to say that about Herbert because I do watch
37:35
Speaker 2: it and sometimes it looks like he doesn't have a chance.
37:38
Speaker 2: But I also think that sometimes he's just like a
37:40
Speaker 2: glutton for punishment. Yeah, it's like he wants to get abused.
37:44
Speaker 2: Unless that gets fixed one way or the other, either
37:48
Speaker 2: he starts getting rid of the football or they finally
37:51
Speaker 2: keep an offensive line healthy in front of him. I
37:53
Speaker 2: can see how he could take that step forward, but
37:55
Speaker 2: I'm still not convinced that he's ever going to get
37:57
Speaker 2: through a season without getting the hell beat out of it.
38:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a massachiss Chuck Powell. Yeah he likes it.
38:02
Speaker 6: He likes the pain.
38:03
Speaker 2: Cincinnati was thrown out there as well. Okay, all right,
38:07
Speaker 2: I've seen Joe Burrow do some magical things. I've seen
38:09
Speaker 2: them almost get into the playoffs with long stretches of
38:13
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow not even being available. So if he's available
38:16
Speaker 2: and healthy for an entire season and then he gets
38:18
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, and I think, I do think he's
38:21
Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks in the game. Okay, all right,
38:23
Speaker 2: maybe I could buy that they brought the Chicago Bears up,
38:27
Speaker 2: they brought the Minnesota Vikings. I don't see the Vikings
38:29
Speaker 2: at all. But one thing that I would throw out there,
38:33
Speaker 2: and this is without any regional bias whatsoever, is that
38:37
Speaker 2: I think maybe the twenty twenty six Seahawks are going
38:42
Speaker 2: to be the Seattle Seahawks. And what I mean by
38:44
Speaker 2: that is even John and Mike I think will tell you,
38:49
Speaker 2: even though they entered last season and they said all
38:51
Speaker 2: the right things, the goal is to win the Super Bowl,
38:53
Speaker 2: and the goal is to win it this year. Really,
38:56
Speaker 2: I think that they were building the team for twenty
38:59
Speaker 2: twenty six. I mean, we are playing with house money
39:03
Speaker 2: right now, and we seem to have the hottest general
39:06
Speaker 2: manager head coach combination in the National Football League. We
39:11
Speaker 2: seem to have the best and youngest roster that I
39:18
Speaker 2: believe this year's team is the one that if you
39:22
Speaker 2: ask John and Mike in an honest moment at Dino's
39:25
Speaker 2: Pub eighteen months ago, when do you think you'll win
39:29
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl? Oh, We're gonna win in twenty twenty six,
39:32
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. Yeah, And so to me, as long
39:36
Speaker 2: as you keep the culture intact, which I don't think
39:38
Speaker 2: they're going to have any trouble doing. When you think
39:41
Speaker 2: about we're not even a rookie mini camp and people
39:43
Speaker 2: are reporting to camp. Devin Witherspoon's doesn't, jsm's got a
39:47
Speaker 2: contract and Spoon doesn't, and Spoon's leading the We gotta
39:51
Speaker 2: get in there for two days. You know, we got
39:53
Speaker 2: to get in there. They've opened up the gym. We're going. Yeah.
39:56
Speaker 2: You know, when you have that my mentality, that buy in.
40:00
Speaker 2: I just think some really special is going on right now.
40:02
Speaker 2: And so I actually think this year's team's going to
40:06
Speaker 2: be considerably better. Yeah, last year's team. Now, maybe they
40:09
Speaker 2: don't win the Super Bowl, you have a bad game
40:11
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, whatever the case may be. But I
40:14
Speaker 2: feel like this thing was set up for twenty twenty six,
40:17
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, and the Seahawks just were one year
40:22
Speaker 2: ahead of the projections and have a Super Bowl and
40:25
Speaker 2: oh to speak for it.
40:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's We talk about this all the time.
40:29
Speaker 6: I have a thing with Locked On. We do our
40:31
Speaker 6: Seahawks squad show as well. Many times. Rob rang who's
40:34
Speaker 6: on that with us, says the Seahawks were ahead of schedule.
40:36
Speaker 6: They were one year ahead of schedules. So I just
40:39
Speaker 6: look at it from a roster standpoint, and you go
40:42
Speaker 6: into the draft of three needs. You need a running back,
40:44
Speaker 6: you need a corner, and you need edge, and you
40:47
Speaker 6: know those are kind of the three main pieces that
40:49
Speaker 6: you lost in free agency from the Super Bowl winning team.
40:52
Speaker 6: I think there's a chance this secondary actually ends up
40:55
Speaker 6: better in twenty twenty six than in twenty twenty five
40:58
Speaker 6: based off of how many upside picks you did pick
41:00
Speaker 6: in this draft, Bud Clark being one of them. The
41:04
Speaker 6: edge is a question mark because you didn't really address
41:06
Speaker 6: that in the draft. But there's still speculation about them
41:09
Speaker 6: signing a veteran, So we'll see what ends up happening.
41:11
Speaker 2: Signed two. Yeah, you might sign too. You have the
41:13
Speaker 2: last wave of free agency. You still have waiver cuts,
41:17
Speaker 2: training camp cuts, all sorts of things that could change, lots.
41:20
Speaker 6: Lots of different No, this is right around the time
41:21
Speaker 6: they signed DeMarcus Lawrence a little earlier in the year
41:23
Speaker 6: Demarkus Lawrence last year. But anyways, and then running back,
41:27
Speaker 6: that's a sort of a question mark. But I don't
41:29
Speaker 6: think it's all that out of the question that Jedarium
41:32
Speaker 6: Price can turn into for his career. I realized asking
41:35
Speaker 6: him to do what ken Walker did last year specifically
41:38
Speaker 6: is a little bit out of the question. We'll see
41:42
Speaker 6: what ends up happening, obviously, but if he can put
41:44
Speaker 6: together a four year run that ken Walker had in Seattle,
41:48
Speaker 6: I think that is a good baseline for his expectations.
41:52
Speaker 2: Well, I think the Hawks are the team to be
41:55
Speaker 2: and if anybody is convincing themselves of anything else, they're
41:58
Speaker 2: out of there. Everyone says the Rams now though, I mean,
42:01
Speaker 2: maybe they got a little better with McDuffie and shored
42:04
Speaker 2: up their secondary which will help them counteract JSN and
42:08
Speaker 2: his effectiveness against them. So I mean there's an argument
42:12
Speaker 2: to be made there, But I just think if you
42:15
Speaker 2: didn't beat them last year, they are on a trajectory
42:18
Speaker 2: to get better this year, yes, and so they're going
42:21
Speaker 2: to be a better team. So the Rams, you better
42:23
Speaker 2: be a much better team, yeah, than what you were
42:26
Speaker 2: a year ago, if you're going to if you're going
42:28
Speaker 2: to take the prize from them, all right. Coming up
42:30
