2:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, we grind it out.
2:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. But today today ten o'clock, it's Ashley Ryan, it's
2:07
Speaker 1: former Mariner Bucky Jacobson, it's Chuck Powell with you as
2:10
Speaker 1: we get things started. And man, boy, I tell you what,
2:13
Speaker 1: once upon a time here in our office, I've often
2:17
Speaker 1: entertained the theory that if you wanted to, you could
2:21
Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't be a great life, but you
2:24
Speaker 1: could get all the food that you needed to live
2:27
Speaker 1: by just living at a radio station. Yeah, that you
2:31
Speaker 1: could just get the free stuff that comes in. And
2:33
Speaker 1: then I mean, I don't think it's a great quality
2:36
Speaker 1: of life. But you could you could survive just by
2:40
Speaker 1: off the free food that comes into a radio station
2:43
Speaker 1: during the given week. But it the quality of the
2:47
Speaker 1: food that comes in is is often interesting. Like once
2:50
Speaker 1: upon a time, we had a guava candy that somebody
2:54
Speaker 1: brought in. Remember that, Yeah, and it was here for
2:57
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half years. I just sat out there
2:59
Speaker 1: on a tato. I think I tried it and spit
3:03
Speaker 1: it out. But the guava candy lasted forever. It might
3:08
Speaker 1: still be in somebody's desk or pocket. I have like
3:11
Speaker 1: a butterscotch. Yeah, but boy, you bring in some varsity
3:15
Speaker 1: level Halloween candy prior to Halloween, Like the same bucket
3:21
Speaker 1: comes in last week and excuse me, next week, it
3:25
Speaker 1: comes in next week. Maybe it lingers a little bit longer.
3:28
Speaker 1: Maybe it sticks around a lot because everybody had their
3:31
Speaker 1: fill of Halloween candy over the weekend and they have
3:33
Speaker 1: too much at home. But you bring it in. You
3:35
Speaker 1: bring in the A level, the Reese's peanut butter cups,
3:38
Speaker 1: the Snickers, the twigs, and you put a bucket out.
3:41
Speaker 1: It's almost gone twenty four hours. I don't know. Probably
3:45
Speaker 1: Jessaman brought that in.
3:46
Speaker 4: It was actually Mark, is that Mr Glenn? Yeah, he
3:49
Speaker 4: has a soul?
3:50
Speaker 1: To find out the head haun show about in Varsity
3:53
Speaker 1: level Halloween Candy.
3:55
Speaker 4: I learned that from his significantly better other Is that right?
4:00
Speaker 1: Probably a trick well, that he has a soul or that.
4:03
Speaker 4: And actually it was like I was eating a piece.
4:06
Speaker 4: I said, you get some of this and she goes, no,
4:08
Speaker 4: Mark brought that in, I think, meaning like she didn't
4:10
Speaker 4: want it in the house. Probably that enough maybe, and
4:14
Speaker 4: then she says yeah, I said, really Marked, and know
4:17
Speaker 4: yeah he does have a soul.
4:18
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so both.
4:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I learned both.
4:21
Speaker 1: And there's milk duds in there.
4:22
Speaker 4: I know, Man, I typically don't eat while I'm here,
4:28
Speaker 4: and yet yesterday I indulged.
4:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like four or five myself.
4:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.
4:34
Speaker 1: I mean when you got a bucket full of the
4:36
Speaker 1: good stuff was running, you just walked by it.
4:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like it was the good stuff, like
4:41
Speaker 4: you said, and the top run is over. I was like,
4:43
Speaker 4: it's gonna spill if I don't get the top of
4:45
Speaker 4: this taken care of.
4:46
Speaker 5: I started trying to dig through to see if there
4:48
Speaker 5: was anything in there I could eat, and it was
4:50
Speaker 5: like I felt like someone had stolen my puppy.
4:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, if you'd like, I could, like,
4:56
Speaker 4: I could suck the chocolate off of the milk duds
4:59
Speaker 4: and then give it caramel.
5:00
Speaker 1: Caramel's got milk in it too. Oh yeah, I mean
5:03
Speaker 1: she stiok, headsets you had on your butt? Why would
5:06
Speaker 1: she stop? Short?
5:08
Speaker 3: Now?
5:08
Speaker 4: I mean I could lick all the chocolate off a cat.
5:10
Speaker 4: You could have the wafers.
5:11
Speaker 5: You could have the wafers moist, moist wafers.
5:16
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm trying to help here.
5:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I prefer my wafers dry. I'm proud of you,
5:21
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for going the extra mile. There's no
5:23
Speaker 1: pleasing her. I'm in the microwave after. That's a better idea,
5:29
Speaker 1: crispy wafers. I'm glad we've come up with this play together.
5:33
Speaker 4: I'll get it. I'll get started on this, saying it's
5:35
Speaker 4: better than going without. Yeah.
5:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd prefer if you would lick the chocolate off
5:39
Speaker 5: a Reze's peanut butter cup and then I could have
5:41
Speaker 5: the peanut butter.
5:41
Speaker 4: In the middle. Done.
5:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, alright, that's really easy. We'll get that done. Yeah,
5:47
Speaker 1: you like caramels, Milk dud's become Carmels, real fast.
5:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, sad, sad life I live.
5:54
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's terrible.
5:56
Speaker 1: Well, welcome into the show here on this some morning.
5:59
Speaker 1: We are actually I actually am going to highlight Halloween
6:02
Speaker 1: candy and a couple of the segments later on in
6:05
Speaker 1: the show, you know, worked them into the sports world
6:10
Speaker 1: later on in the program. But we're going to begin.
6:14
Speaker 1: I want to begin with the World Series, but certainly
6:18
Speaker 1: I want this morning. I mean, yesterday was about just we.
6:22
Speaker 1: It was of this the game, one of the greatest
6:24
Speaker 1: games we've ever seen. Last night though, got me thinking
6:28
Speaker 1: though more about how it does sort of mirror or
6:34
Speaker 1: reflect reflect is the better word the Mariners. But let's
6:38
Speaker 1: start first, though, Bucky just talking about the game itself.
6:42
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays won it by final score of six
6:45
Speaker 1: to two. Shoe a Otani started in the game, and look,
6:49
Speaker 1: we were two of the people that didn't think that
6:51
Speaker 1: the fifteen inning affair was going to be as debilitating
6:55
Speaker 1: to the Mariners in Toronto as so many were suggesting.
7:00
Speaker 1: And both teams played eighteen innings the night before, but
7:04
Speaker 1: only one team had a pitcher who got on base
7:07
Speaker 1: nine times the previous evening, and so I don't know
7:11
Speaker 1: maybe that did impact that show A wasn't quite as
7:14
Speaker 1: sharp as I mean, he wasn't bad, but they decided
7:17
Speaker 1: to extend him into the seventh inning, which might have
7:19
Speaker 1: been a mistake. The night after he got on base
7:22
Speaker 1: nine times in an eighteen inning game, and he's a DH.
7:26
Speaker 1: But you know what, every time you're getting ready, you
7:28
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Every time you get ready
7:30
Speaker 1: to go to the plate and you're the DH, you're
7:32
Speaker 1: probably in the tunnel taking a few hacks. So he
7:35
Speaker 1: did that nine times the previous night, and he ran
7:39
Speaker 1: the bases nine times the previous night, So I'm not
7:42
Speaker 1: sure it should all be that big of a surprise
7:45
Speaker 1: that maybe if anybody had an excuse for being a
7:49
Speaker 1: little bit tired last night that was on the mound
7:53
Speaker 1: by the seventh inning, it might be sho Heyo Tani
7:56
Speaker 1: over Shane Bieber.
7:57
Speaker 4: Uh. Yeah, we definitely.
7:59
Speaker 1: Didn't impact the game.
8:00
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know a goot impact of
8:01
Speaker 4: the game. And we there's really no way to tell
8:04
Speaker 4: unless he you know, we know that he was after
8:06
Speaker 4: getting on base nine times, which is absurd. I mean,
8:09
Speaker 4: I maybe there was a time or two that I
8:13
Speaker 4: got on base five times in a game, and I
8:15
Speaker 4: can tell you I was significantly more tired. Not drastically,
8:21
Speaker 4: not like, oh my god, can't go on, He's not
8:24
Speaker 4: running that far, You're not running a triathle. But there's
8:27
Speaker 4: certain times where you just were on base more, especially
8:29
Speaker 4: if you ended up having a you know, maybe a
8:32
Speaker 4: couple of AB's where there's full count, two outs, you're
8:34
Speaker 4: running foul ball, running foul ball, stuff like that that
8:37
Speaker 4: you you noticed like, wow, that was I exerted more today.
8:41
Speaker 4: And we saw a show Hey kind of stretching his
8:43
Speaker 4: calf out like he was cramping up because he was
8:45
Speaker 4: on base every damn time, and and you know he
8:49
Speaker 4: was actually trying to steal bases. And I mean, I
8:51
Speaker 4: guess a couple of times he wasn't he was on base,
8:54
Speaker 4: but he just jogged around them. But other times there's
8:56
Speaker 4: doubles and he's just you know, sprinting to second base.
8:59
Speaker 4: It was I think he was probably more fatigue than
9:03
Speaker 4: typically getting ready for a start.
9:06
Speaker 1: And also, like our pitchers are slaves to their routines,
9:10
Speaker 1: our guys our slaves. And we've talked about a lot
9:12
Speaker 1: during the season, like a rain delay seems to affect
9:15
Speaker 1: us more than it does the other team because Logan
9:18
Speaker 1: Gilbert is so precise in his you know, in his
9:21
Speaker 1: build up. George Kirby, I think is the same way.
9:24
Speaker 1: I think maybe Bryce Miller lesser than Brian Will slightly
9:29
Speaker 1: lesser than But our guys are affected by that, especially
9:33
Speaker 1: in today's modern game. I mean, once upon a time,
9:37
Speaker 1: you know, George Brett rolled in from the bar and
9:39
Speaker 1: went three for four. You know, I think they are
9:42
Speaker 1: a little bit differently. And if you think our guys are,
9:44
Speaker 1: the Japanese approach is completely different. Yeah, So to get
9:47
Speaker 1: out of there's no way that Shoe a Otani could
9:49
Speaker 1: have stayed in his routine after eighteen innings the night before,
9:53
Speaker 1: had to go home and sleep, come back to the ballpark,
9:57
Speaker 1: and then do it all over the next day while
10:00
Speaker 1: also incorporating his pitching prep. So I don't know, he
10:03
Speaker 1: seemed fine for six innings, but maybe Dave Roberts asked
10:07
Speaker 1: a little bit too much out of a guy that
10:09
Speaker 1: got on base nine times the night before to have
10:11
Speaker 1: him go out for the seventh and that was the
10:13
Speaker 1: difference in the game. That seventh inning is where Toronto
10:15
Speaker 1: pulled away.
10:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would think, I mean Ultimately, if
10:19
Speaker 4: you take the seventh inning where he gave up a
10:21
Speaker 4: couple of knocks to start that and then was pulled,
10:23
Speaker 4: I mean he would He went five innings, four hits
10:25
Speaker 4: and two runs, and it really was a mistake to
10:28
Speaker 4: Vlad Guerrero, who's on fire this entire postseason, and took
10:32
Speaker 4: him yard. And so you're still sitting at a two
10:34
Speaker 4: to one ball game and you've you've taxed your bullpen
10:38
Speaker 4: because of the eighteen innings before, and they don't really
10:41
Speaker 4: typically trust their bullpen a whole heck of a lot
10:43
Speaker 4: as it is, right and for good reason. Outside of
10:47
Speaker 4: the performance that they had in the in the eighteen
10:49
Speaker 4: inning affair the night before, it's probably one of those
10:51
Speaker 4: like I think we'll just go ahead and ride this.
10:54
Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't. It wasn't like he was getting
10:56
Speaker 4: rocked and having to wiggle out of trouble. He was.
10:58
Speaker 4: I mean, he allowed you know, base runners basically up
11:01
Speaker 4: to up through five innings, so it was like.
11:04
Speaker 1: Fine, but maybe the seventh was.
11:06
Speaker 4: Just still ran ran out of gas. I think it's
11:10
Speaker 4: part that. I think it's more so you know, as
11:13
Speaker 4: much as you know there's a I got a you
11:15
Speaker 4: know I'm irritated with the Toronto Blue Jays because they
11:19
Speaker 4: knocked us out. There's an old school way that they
11:22
Speaker 4: play the game is that is one that plays when
11:26
Speaker 4: you're tired and when you you know, the emotional toll
11:30
Speaker 4: that it takes on you to play eighteen innings and
11:33
Speaker 4: lose is far different than the emotional toll to play
11:36
Speaker 4: ateen innings and come out victorious. And so it's one
11:40
Speaker 4: of those all right, boys, that's time to dig deep,
11:43
Speaker 4: it's time to we got to go get Shoho Tani.
11:45
Speaker 4: They get to go against Shane Bieber, who by all
11:48
Speaker 4: accounts is pitching well in the postseason coming off Tommy
11:51
Speaker 4: John and he's doing what they're they're asking of him
11:54
Speaker 4: to do it just keep them in the ballgame. You
11:57
Speaker 4: just kind of felt like, boy, this is a I
11:59
Speaker 4: can see how bang bang and this thing's over and
12:02
Speaker 4: five yeah. Yeah. And yet the old school mentality, and
12:04
Speaker 4: I don't know who it was on Toronto, I think
12:06
Speaker 4: it was after they beat us, ended up saying it
12:10
Speaker 4: might have been Beaber old school wins, Old school wins.
12:13
Speaker 4: Like there's something about the mentality that the Blue Jays
12:16
Speaker 4: are playing with that is like us against the world
12:18
Speaker 4: or US against right right now, it's US against this
12:22
Speaker 4: you know Dodgers team that you know by all accounts,
12:26
Speaker 4: I mean, its spent the most money out there, and
12:27
Speaker 4: I know the Mets are up there too, but it's
12:29
Speaker 4: just this team is like they should win. Everybody thinks
12:32
Speaker 4: they should win, and the Blue Jays are like, well,
12:35
Speaker 4: I'm gonna raise my hand here. I think maybe we
12:37
Speaker 4: have something to say about that, like on a regular basis.
12:39
Speaker 4: So I think they answered the bell better than than
12:42
Speaker 4: the Dodgers just did up and down the lineup.
12:44
Speaker 1: Well, that dovetails perfectly into the topic that I did
12:47
Speaker 1: want to bring up because we're four games into this
12:50
Speaker 1: series and I thought the Dodgers were gonna take it
12:52
Speaker 1: in four to five games. I really did. I think they.
12:55
Speaker 1: I probably would have given the same prognosis had the
12:57
Speaker 1: Mariners made it. I just thought the Dogs, the way
13:00
Speaker 1: that they're constructed, how healthy they're starting pitching was. I mean,
13:04
Speaker 1: it's the best rotation money can buy, and for the
13:08
Speaker 1: first time in this modern era, all of their pitchers
13:12
Speaker 1: were healthy at the exact right time and just muwing
13:15
Speaker 1: through people like threshers through wheat. That's how they'd performed
13:19
Speaker 1: throughout the postseason. So I probably would have given the
13:21
Speaker 1: same prediction had the Mariners made it to the World Series.
13:25
Speaker 1: But it did sort of with Toronto, like you said,
13:29
Speaker 1: playing their game last night, bouncing back from an eighteen
13:32
Speaker 1: inning loss from the previous night. And really, as much
13:37
Speaker 1: as I brought up showey Otani, John Smoltz pointed out,
13:40
Speaker 1: it was their ability just to put the ball in
13:42
Speaker 1: play and see what can happen. Jimenez with his big
13:45
Speaker 1: two strike hit the other way, and ty France even
13:48
Speaker 1: hitting a ground ball the second base and not grounding
13:50
Speaker 1: into a double play and just bringing in a run.
13:55
Speaker 1: That sort of approach is probably the primary thing that
13:59
Speaker 1: led to their victy last night. And it just it
14:02
Speaker 1: just struck me as everybody's in Mariner hangover, in a
14:06
Speaker 1: state of Mariner depression for a long time. We had
14:09
Speaker 1: to beat down. And this is the thing that if
14:13
Speaker 1: I got angry during the last five years, during the
14:15
Speaker 1: Jerry Depoto era, it was people just saying the moment
14:19
Speaker 1: the Mariners didn't accomplish what we wanted them to accomplish,
14:24
Speaker 1: they sucked.
14:25
Speaker 4: They're terrible.
14:26
Speaker 1: That was the That's where everybody went, and everybody needs
14:30
Speaker 1: to be fired. Those are the things that if I
14:32
Speaker 1: ever got angry and yelled and got worked up, it
14:35
Speaker 1: was over that mentality that the moment the Mariners don't
14:39
Speaker 1: achieve what we thought they could achieve or should achieve,
14:43
Speaker 1: it was automatically same old Mariners. They stink, not the
14:48
Speaker 1: same old Mariners. Has not been the same old Mariners
14:50
Speaker 1: for the last five years. This is a completely different
14:55
Speaker 1: approach that they have taken. And we are so well
14:58
Speaker 1: set up for the future and should be on a
15:01
Speaker 1: four game, four season playoff streak and the process. But
15:06
Speaker 1: I hope that people and I know that there's no
15:09
Speaker 1: moral victories here, but watching the Blue Jays even things
15:14
Speaker 1: up with the Dodgers. I mean, we went through this
15:18
Speaker 1: season hearing they stink same old Mariners. No no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:23
Speaker 1: The Seattle Mariners are as good as any team in
15:27
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. They can play with anybody, including the
15:30
Speaker 1: Dodgers and obviously the Blue Jays. We came within eight outs.
15:35
Speaker 1: We came within one swing because if George Springer doesn't
15:38
Speaker 1: hit that home run, I think we win. We came
15:41
Speaker 1: within one swing of being in this World Series and
15:44
Speaker 1: maybe even with the Dodgers at two games apiece. So
15:48
Speaker 1: I realize we haven't made the World Series, and that
15:51
Speaker 1: continues to haunt everybody in this city. And it should
15:55
Speaker 1: I mean you should. You shouldn't be satisfied. I heard
15:58
Speaker 1: this promo coming in. You shouldn't be satisfied. It was
16:01
Speaker 1: a successful season. But nobody's satisfied. The organization's not satisfied. You,
16:05
Speaker 1: the fans shouldn't be satisfied. Hi, the talk show its
16:07
Speaker 1: Tom not satisfied. There's more to achieve. They gotta make
16:11
Speaker 1: the World Series. They got to win a World Series.
16:13
Speaker 1: Otherwise you have floundered an amazing job of creating this
16:19
Speaker 1: foundation to win consistently over a decade or more. But
16:24
Speaker 1: we are so close, and I get it. That's very
16:29
Speaker 1: little solace that you can take right now, and you
16:32
Speaker 1: don't want to think about moral victories. But four games
16:35
Speaker 1: into this series, two games apiece, two teams that seem
16:38
Speaker 1: pretty evenly fought, and we came within a swing of
16:41
Speaker 1: beating that one of those teams and being in the
16:44
Speaker 1: same situation.
16:45
Speaker 4: We are there.
16:46
Speaker 1: We are there. It is hard to win a World Series,
16:50
Speaker 1: even getting into the playoffs, even with home field advantage,
16:53
Speaker 1: even with a buye in the first round. It is hard.
16:55
Speaker 1: I mean, it felt we were only in two rounds.
16:57
Speaker 1: We only participated in two rounds of the playoffs. It
17:00
Speaker 1: felt like three and a half years of our lives
17:01
Speaker 1: we were taken. And so it is hard ass work to
17:05
Speaker 1: win it all. But man, we're right there. We can
17:08
Speaker 1: compete with the best in the game and are set
17:10
Speaker 1: up to do so for the next five to ten years.
17:13
Speaker 4: Well, I think that everybody is entitled to You can
17:16
Speaker 4: have your opinion. It's just I mean, I think the cold,
17:18
Speaker 4: hard truth is that people should realize that the two
17:22
Speaker 4: things can be true. You can think that this season
17:26
Speaker 4: was a success and yet not successful enough like it's
17:30
Speaker 4: it was just it was a good year. They obviously
17:32
Speaker 4: made the playoffs. They get they got to the second
17:36
Speaker 4: second you know rank or whatever they finished second to
17:39
Speaker 4: where they get a bye. They you know, they fought
17:43
Speaker 4: hard to get out of the first round against Detroit,
17:46
Speaker 4: which ultimately a lot of people can say Detroit isn't good.
17:49
Speaker 4: They you know, they they shouldn't have even went to
17:52
Speaker 4: five games or whatever. You can say whatever you want
17:55
Speaker 4: Detroit up until you know, a month and a half
17:59
Speaker 4: towards the end of the season. There, I mean they
18:01
Speaker 4: were one of the better teams in the American League,
18:02
Speaker 4: and they have an ace that we had to end
18:04
Speaker 4: up beat twice. It to me, it's the idea of
18:09
Speaker 4: if you can't recognize this team is on par with
18:13
Speaker 4: the best teams out there, like you're right there, like
18:16
Speaker 4: you that's what you know. Like, I'm not sure what
18:19
Speaker 4: I feel about Jerry Depoto, but it wasn't. One of
18:21
Speaker 4: the things that is pretty evident, and he's basically been
18:24
Speaker 4: open about it, is that he's trying to build something
18:26
Speaker 4: that year after year will compete to be in the playoffs.
18:30
Speaker 4: So you have a contender because they feel that the
18:32
Speaker 4: way that they're building a team that gets into the
18:34
Speaker 4: playoffs could be dangerous in the postseason, and this team
18:38
Speaker 4: most certainly could have. I mean, I think that two
18:40
Speaker 4: things that can be true are I think that our
18:42
Speaker 4: pitching staff didn't really perform as well as they can
18:46
Speaker 4: or possibly you're in the World Series now. But I
18:49
Speaker 4: also think that part of that is tip your cap
18:52
Speaker 4: to the Blue Jays because they had a game plan
18:54
Speaker 4: against good pitching that makes it difficult for good pitching
18:58
Speaker 4: to be flawless. Yesterday, to me, the Otani mows down
19:03
Speaker 4: the first couple hitters, and then they grind out two
19:06
Speaker 4: AB's that made it to where he still threw twenty
19:09
Speaker 4: pitches in the first inning. That allows Vladimir Guerrero to
19:12
Speaker 4: come up in the third inning to hit the two
19:14
Speaker 4: run homer that basically put them ahead for good at
19:17
Speaker 4: that point in time. It's those little tiny things that
19:20
Speaker 4: the first inning didn't amount to anything. They get a
19:23
Speaker 4: walk and a single, and then Alejandro Kirk gets out,
19:27
Speaker 4: but it was more than that, just letting him mow
19:29
Speaker 4: your guys down one, two, three. So I mean, to me,
19:31
Speaker 4: there's an old school thing, and I think the old
19:33
Speaker 4: school thing plays against anybody, and it played against us.
19:37
Speaker 4: But to think that we're not on par with the
19:40
Speaker 4: team out there, it's crazy.
19:41
Speaker 1: How many times the last few years I've driven around
19:43
Speaker 1: listening to various hosts on various stations just constantly say, well,
19:48
Speaker 1: we're not in the same category as the Yankees.
19:51
Speaker 4: That's clear.
19:51
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Of course we are. The
19:54
Speaker 1: only reason absolutely are.
19:55
Speaker 5: The only reason we're not is because they they would
19:58
Speaker 5: look at any season and where they're not going to
20:00
Speaker 5: the World Series as a failure because they've been there
20:02
Speaker 5: so many times. I think that would be like the
20:04
Speaker 5: one reason that we wouldn't be in the same category,
20:07
Speaker 5: because I don't think we can look at not going
20:09
Speaker 5: to the World Series as a failure. It could be
20:10
Speaker 5: a disappointment, but I don't think it's a failure.
20:14
Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what is on tap for
20:17
Speaker 1: today's radio program people. What's on TEP?
20:23
Speaker 3: What's on TEP?
20:24
Speaker 4: All right?
20:24
Speaker 1: Toronto wins six to two over the Dodgers. The series
20:27
Speaker 1: is even at two games a piece. Now Game five
20:30
Speaker 1: will be tonight. It'll be a savage for the Blue Jays,
20:33
Speaker 1: Blake Snell for the Dodgers. Mariners offseason, of course is underway.
20:39
Speaker 1: A lot of people talking about it. We will to
20:42
Speaker 1: today as well our final ABC's of the MS today
20:45
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. Also, Reckless at Breakfast Today will chomp
20:49
Speaker 1: into that topic as well at seven forty five. The
20:52
Speaker 1: Frozen Frenzy was held yesterday in the National Hockey League
20:56
Speaker 1: the Kraken as every team in the NHL. A part
20:59
Speaker 1: of it come from behind point for the Kraken, which
21:03
Speaker 1: we'll talk about coming up here at six forty five. Also,
21:06
Speaker 1: al Kiniski will join us at nine to thirty. Next
21:09
Speaker 1: up for the Krack in the matchup with the Rangers
21:12
Speaker 1: not until Saturday, though. Sounders Game two versus Minnesota United
21:16
Speaker 1: will take place on Monday, so the Sounders have to
21:20
Speaker 1: win back to back games in order to advance in
21:22
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Seahawks we are at hump day of
21:26
Speaker 1: a week where they'll actually play. I don't know why
21:28
Speaker 1: a bye week feels so long, but it just does.
21:31
Speaker 1: They'll take on the Commanders this Sunday night. Greg Bell
21:33
Speaker 1: will join us at seven oh five with the latest. Also,
21:36
Speaker 1: we are six days away from the NFL trading deadline,
21:39
Speaker 1: so we'll rip into that today as well. Huskies are
21:42
Speaker 1: on by this week still, Cam Cleland will join us.
21:45
Speaker 1: He's not on by, he'll be with us at eight o'clock.
21:48
Speaker 1: And speaking of Huskies, we're five days away from Danny
21:51
Speaker 1: Sprinkle and the Dogs starting their brand new season. The
21:54
Speaker 1: college basketball season gets started Monday night as well. All right,
21:58
Speaker 1: so a lot to discuss, clearly, But the big topic
22:02
Speaker 1: right now in college athletics is the latest wave that
22:06
Speaker 1: we didn't see in this new world of college football.
22:11
Speaker 1: How did Rick new Eyesill react to all of the
22:14
Speaker 1: college football head coach firings here in the last few weeks. Boy,
22:18
Speaker 1: he went off yesterday and we're going to replace some
22:20
Speaker 1: of that for you next on Sports Radio ninety three
22:22
Speaker 1: point three KJRFM, Husky's on Buy this week, which really
22:40
Speaker 1: did open up the gates to discuss at great length
22:44
Speaker 1: the college football top story this week, and that is
22:48
Speaker 1: this new phenomenon that has taken place. I mean, there
22:52
Speaker 1: are some things that you just can't see coming with
22:55
Speaker 1: the new world of college football. I continuously be surprised. Continuely,
23:00
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. You know, you feel like you fix one thing,
23:05
Speaker 1: but what kind of a problem does that create in
23:07
Speaker 1: another area? And then once you get that taken care of,
23:11
Speaker 1: inevitably something else is going to pop up that you
23:14
Speaker 1: didn't see coming. And now you got to get your
23:16
Speaker 1: arms wrapped around that. Maybe some people don't see these
23:20
Speaker 1: college football head coaching firings in the middle of the
23:23
Speaker 1: year as an issue, but I personally do. I personally
23:28
Speaker 1: think that it is unsustainable to take a good coach
23:32
Speaker 1: with a lot of money left on his deal, fire
23:35
Speaker 1: him eat that money in a world where everybody complains
23:39
Speaker 1: about how they don't have any money, and then try
23:43
Speaker 1: and find a replacement that's going to deliver championship caliber football,
23:48
Speaker 1: and if he falls just a little bit short, you
23:50
Speaker 1: really have set the president that that's fireable offense. So
23:54
Speaker 1: it feels to me like it's unsustainable. I feel like
23:58
Speaker 1: it's another fai or waive in this process, in this
24:02
Speaker 1: new world of college football that people didn't see coming,
24:06
Speaker 1: and now they got to figure out how to fix
24:08
Speaker 1: it because it could be very detrimental. Right. Rick new
24:11
Speaker 1: Isel was on with us on Tuesday, our College Football Insider,
24:15
Speaker 1: and of course everybody can know Rick new Isel, and
24:18
Speaker 1: I asked him about this very issue. Did you see
24:21
Speaker 1: this coming? And is it sustainable?
24:24
Speaker 6: The answer to both of those are no, This is ridiculous.
24:28
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:28
Speaker 6: I mean, Brian Kelly was thirty three and fourteen at LSU.
24:34
Speaker 6: I mean thirty three and fourteen is Hall of Fame credentials.
24:39
Speaker 6: You only have to be sixty I guess fifty nine
24:42
Speaker 6: point five percent as a winning coach to be a
24:44
Speaker 6: Hall of Famer or at least be considered as such.
24:47
Speaker 6: That that is confounding, to say the least. And to
24:52
Speaker 6: give him fifty four million bucks to walk out the
24:55
Speaker 6: door is incredible. We're over one hundred fIF see million
25:00
Speaker 6: dollars in dead money in a world where every athletic
25:04
Speaker 6: director is telling you how financially challenged they are, and
25:08
Speaker 6: we're doing that that makes no sense. And I will
25:11
Speaker 6: tell you, and I said this a million times, so
25:14
Speaker 6: you know I'm telling you the truth that my one
25:18
Speaker 6: of my favorite years of my entire coaching career is
25:21
Speaker 6: my last at Washington when we were four and five
25:24
Speaker 6: and came back and won the Northwest Championship and beat
25:28
Speaker 6: Oregon State, beat Oregon at Oregon and then beat Washington
25:31
Speaker 6: State at Washington State when they were number three in
25:34
Speaker 6: the country. To get that done and to get the
25:37
Speaker 6: team to believe that, you know, how you deal with adversity,
25:41
Speaker 6: that's part of the education that you're supposed to be
25:43
Speaker 6: getting in college. Now we're giving an education that if
25:46
Speaker 6: you're not doing every you know, winning championships, it's time
25:51
Speaker 6: to quit and cancel Christmas. I don't get it it.
25:57
Speaker 6: We've lost our way, and it's because we've given the
26:00
Speaker 6: pseudo owners, those that we keep going to for more
26:03
Speaker 6: and more in terms of resources and money, financial support.
26:07
Speaker 6: We've given them all kinds of now ability to make
26:11
Speaker 6: the decisions. And that's just it's scary, it's frightening. And
26:16
Speaker 6: it's nowhere that I think we should be or want
26:20
Speaker 6: to be.
26:20
Speaker 1: Breg new eyes old by this a little bit earlier
26:22
Speaker 1: this week. This has been the big hot button topic
26:25
Speaker 1: that has popped up now in college football. I couldn't
26:28
Speaker 1: agree more with what he's saying, and I think that
26:30
Speaker 1: was evident in the build up the lead up to
26:33
Speaker 1: us playing that bit Bucky that segment. I just how
26:38
Speaker 1: can you even keep this going? Like you're going to
26:40
Speaker 1: fire good coaches with years and millions left on their contracts,
26:45
Speaker 1: and then what's the next LSU coach, given you're going
26:49
Speaker 1: to try to convince a better coach to taking could
26:51
Speaker 1: you take a little bit fewer years just in case
26:54
Speaker 1: we don't like you and you're not competing at the
26:57
Speaker 1: highest level so we don't have to eat sixty mil. No,
27:01
Speaker 1: the next guy's gonna want even more. So, I mean,
27:04
Speaker 1: there's no way it can continue. College football's got to
27:06
Speaker 1: figure out a way to take this latest wave of
27:09
Speaker 1: nonsense and get their arms around it. Quit sooner than later.
27:12
Speaker 4: Well, I think that the idea of how wild this
27:15
Speaker 4: whole ride has been the last three four years, since
27:18
Speaker 4: they just kind of opened the doors, like okay, let's
27:21
Speaker 4: pay these guys and then now they've wrapped their arms
27:24
Speaker 4: around Okay, now there's a salary cap type thing kind
27:27
Speaker 4: of kind of yeah, but you can still get some
27:31
Speaker 4: on the side, but that has to be market value.
27:34
Speaker 4: It's not just flat out, here's your signing bonus, come
27:36
Speaker 4: play for us. I think that they will figure it out.
27:39
Speaker 4: I think probably the way it's going to go, and
27:42
Speaker 4: it'll be hard pressed to do it. I mean, don't
27:44
Speaker 4: think these people when somebody, some donor sponsor of some
27:48
Speaker 4: sorts like that's it. I don't like the guy and
27:51
Speaker 4: he's not taken us to the promised land where we
27:54
Speaker 4: thought he was going to go and where we invested
27:56
Speaker 4: money to get, so fire him. I think they have
27:59
Speaker 4: enough money, obviously to hire someone else. I think it's
28:02
Speaker 4: going to go to the coaches are going to want
28:05
Speaker 4: more security and bigger buyouts because the nature is, well,
28:10
Speaker 4: if you if you're here for three years and you
28:12
Speaker 4: haven't gotten this to the you know, finals of the
28:15
Speaker 4: college football playoff, then we might be moving on from you.
28:19
Speaker 4: But I think that you can want whatever you want.
28:22
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be where they're going to
28:25
Speaker 4: start making those buyouts less. I think it's going to
28:28
Speaker 4: be that they're just like, hey, we'll give you six
28:30
Speaker 4: years and if we basically fire you somewhere before that,
28:34
Speaker 4: then we will owe you some of that back money.
28:36
Speaker 4: But it's not going to be the same as I.
28:38
Speaker 1: Think that in mind. But if you've just fired one
28:41
Speaker 1: guy and are trying to get Lane kivin, it's a negotiation, right,
28:44
Speaker 1: isn't he going to ask for even more? Like you
28:46
Speaker 1: said before? I think the new head coach at LSU
28:49
Speaker 1: is gonna ask for an even sweeter deal with a
28:51
Speaker 1: greater buyout. And that's the world they've created for themselves.
28:55
Speaker 5: You could do it more of like an incentive buyout too,
28:57
Speaker 5: Like if you win ten games, don't make the playoffs
29:00
Speaker 5: and we want to get rid of you, you get
29:02
Speaker 5: this much. But if you only win seven games, you
29:05
Speaker 5: get this much. I mean as a possibility.
29:07
Speaker 4: I think the.
29:07
Speaker 5: Biggest issue is the same thing they were dealing with
29:09
Speaker 5: with the players, right. You keep going back to all
29:12
Speaker 5: of these donors and back to fans and asking them
29:14
Speaker 5: over and over for more money because whoops, I guess
29:17
Speaker 5: we hired the wrong guy, so now we need more
29:19
Speaker 5: money to get rid of that guy. And we got
29:20
Speaker 5: to go find another guy.
29:21
Speaker 1: Well, that's just it. I think you hit upon it.
29:24
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be the sticking point of this.
29:27
Speaker 1: What it's going to ruin this little trend. What's going
29:29
Speaker 1: to stop this sooner than later is that very thing.
29:34
Speaker 1: Because even though one donor might want this guy who
29:38
Speaker 1: gets the say right, I mean, unless you've got a
29:41
Speaker 1: situation where it's Phil Knight kind of calling all the
29:44
Speaker 1: shots at Oregon, unless you got a donor so big.
29:48
Speaker 1: But if one guy donates ten million dollars to the
29:51
Speaker 1: process and another eight does the guy with eight million
29:54
Speaker 1: not get as much that? I mean we turning it
29:56
Speaker 1: into just CEOs, get like a percentage of a vote? Yeah,
30:00
Speaker 1: I mean, how are you? How are you going to
30:02
Speaker 1: do that? I mean, because that's gonna that's gonna have
30:04
Speaker 1: to call for something contractual, and you're gonna have to
30:07
Speaker 1: come up with a game plan and contract and a
30:11
Speaker 1: philosophy on who gets to make the decisions or who
30:14
Speaker 1: gets to be responsible for how much of the decision.
30:18
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a world we can enter. That's
30:20
Speaker 1: just way too messy, that's just too complicated. And frankly,
30:24
Speaker 1: if you're LSU or Penn state. You didn't fire James
30:28
Speaker 1: Franklin just to hire somebody worse. Yeah, you fired those
30:31
Speaker 1: guys to get somebody theoretically better, better than a guy
30:36
Speaker 1: that's winning like sixty or see me seventy percent of
30:39
Speaker 1: his game, seventy five percent of his games. Yeah. So
30:41
Speaker 1: do you think the new guy that comes in there
30:44
Speaker 1: is gonna say, yeah, you're right, you got really burned
30:47
Speaker 1: on that Brian Kelly deal. I'll work with you. No,
30:50
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, you're not gonna treat me like he
30:53
Speaker 1: did Brian Kelly.
30:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want more, I want him want better security.
30:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, better security, a larger buyout. You're not gonna jerk
31:01
Speaker 1: me and my family around. So this is what we've
31:04
Speaker 1: entered into. And I agree with coach. I think the
31:07
Speaker 1: silver lining in this is that it is there's no
31:09
Speaker 1: way that you can stay on this path. We're just
31:13
Speaker 1: riding another different wave, rogue wave that is popped up
31:17
Speaker 1: in this sea of uncertainty that is college football, and
31:22
Speaker 1: what they're gonna be mistakes made until people can get
31:26
Speaker 1: their arms around it and figure out, Okay, that doesn't work.
31:29
Speaker 1: Let's now go to this process. So we'll see. I
31:33
Speaker 1: think it will get worse before it gets better. But
31:36
Speaker 1: it certainly cannot be sustainable. There's no way there's enough
31:41
Speaker 1: money on campuses to keep this pace going. All right,
31:43
Speaker 1: coming up next. I don't know if you checked this
31:46
Speaker 1: out last night, but the crack And scored a thrilling
31:51
Speaker 1: come from behind point last night. Sports Radio ninety three
31:54
Speaker 1: point three KJRFM.
31:55
Speaker 7: BOUP welcome back Brandon Monteur. He's got two third period
32:09
Speaker 7: goals and the Seattle Crucket tie the game at three.
32:19
Speaker 1: Oh that Brandon Montour was good last night. He was
32:24
Speaker 1: He was damn good. He was slap happy. I like
32:27
Speaker 1: it like that. Oh that slap shot killer kind of
32:30
Speaker 1: led to two goals for Brandon Monteur and an exciting,
32:34
Speaker 1: thrilling comeback for the Kraken, who were hosting the Montreal
32:38
Speaker 1: Canadians last night, trying to make it three straight wins.
32:41
Speaker 1: They were down three to nothing and then led by
32:44
Speaker 1: Brandon Monteur, they somehow thrillingly tied things up then held
32:50
Speaker 1: on in regulation. Montour there again to slap away puck
32:55
Speaker 1: that was kind of dancing in front of the net.
32:57
Speaker 1: I mean, he just had a complete game last night,
33:01
Speaker 1: and ultimately you lose because of that damn Cole Kawfield.
33:05
Speaker 1: What a thorn on our side. He's already turned down.
33:07
Speaker 6: The real turn.
33:08
Speaker 1: He's like thirteen years old. We're gonna have to deal
33:10
Speaker 1: with this for years to come. But he scores in overtime.
33:13
Speaker 1: But that's about as impressive come from behind point as
33:18
Speaker 1: you're gonna ever earn.
33:19
Speaker 4: Right there, Well, it was exciting. I don't think they
33:22
Speaker 4: played very well the first couple periods for sure. I
33:25
Speaker 4: mean it didn't look they didn't look like they had looked.
33:28
Speaker 4: And I haven't watched every minute of every game, but
33:30
Speaker 4: I've watched a lot of their games so far and
33:33
Speaker 4: they just didn't look quite themselves. Now they've found a way,
33:36
Speaker 4: and usually you don't find a way, and hockey three
33:38
Speaker 4: zero seems like insurmountable, but the way in which Monteur
33:42
Speaker 4: played Shane Wright seems very advantageous. He seems like a
33:46
Speaker 4: guy that's kind of an opportunistic type of player and
33:50
Speaker 4: kind of coming into his own and so yeah, I
33:52
Speaker 4: mean you felt like you're walking out of that woman
33:54
Speaker 4: with probably eight minutes left or whatever, it was like, Okay,
33:58
Speaker 4: this is just a bad game. You're gonna get your
34:00
Speaker 4: and then bang bang bang all of a sudden you
34:02
Speaker 4: find a way to at least salvage a point out
34:04
Speaker 4: of it. It would have been nice to see if they
34:06
Speaker 4: played a little bit more like that earlier, you know,
34:09
Speaker 4: because it ended up coming up short or just getting
34:12
Speaker 4: a point, but still a one points better than zero,
34:15
Speaker 4: that's for damn sure.
34:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:16
Speaker 5: Watching it early and seeing us go down O two,
34:18
Speaker 5: I was like, what what's happening here?
34:20
Speaker 4: Like, this isn't the team we're at home?
34:22
Speaker 5: This is you know, we're not looking at all like
34:24
Speaker 5: we had in these last two games. And then I thought, okay,
34:26
Speaker 5: that's fine. Going into the second period, they're gonna be fine.
34:29
Speaker 5: They're gonna come back because you know, they've got a
34:30
Speaker 5: little they've got their break, they're gonna come back.
34:32
Speaker 1: And then nothing happened.
34:33
Speaker 5: So at least I guess our defense was playing better,
34:35
Speaker 5: but it was a very Yeah, what a thrilling third period.
34:38
Speaker 1: It's just unlike I guess soccer is kind of similar.
34:41
Speaker 1: But I don't know how good you feel about that
34:44
Speaker 1: going home. I'm sure you can't ever go home as
34:48
Speaker 1: a hockey player like, hey, high five guys, point, Yeah, no,
34:52
Speaker 1: go to the bar. We got to celebrate this. I
34:54
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with the wife and kids just yet. Yeah, don't.
34:58
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's how it works. But I
35:01
Speaker 1: guess not all points are created equal because you got
35:04
Speaker 1: to feel like it stole something. Yeah, last night, rallying
35:07
Speaker 1: from behind it and in an impressive fashion. I mean
35:10
Speaker 1: both the Montour goals and then the he also set
35:13
Speaker 1: up the pass to Shane Wright for the third goal.
35:16
Speaker 1: So it was just the Brandon Montour show. Dorothy must
35:19
Speaker 1: be just so, Dorothy Montour is a saint.
35:23
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what I should name my team, Dorothy Montor's kids.
35:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can be Brandon Tana fan of club. No, No,
35:29
Speaker 1: it's definitely not. Not been nut for a while. But
35:32
Speaker 1: nice job getting the point last night. We will talk
35:35
Speaker 1: to Al Konisky a little bit later on in the show,
35:39
Speaker 1: and we also have your mix delivery of the game
35:41
Speaker 1: coming your way. But the Kraken lose four to three
35:44
Speaker 1: in overtime to the Montreal Canadians to earn a thrilling
35:49
Speaker 1: come from behind point. It's Sports Radio ninety three point
35:52
Speaker 1: three KJRFM.
