Speaker 1: Great to have you with us, says Ashley Ryan. Is here.
1:08
Speaker 1: My name is Chuck Powell.
1:09
Speaker 4: And the lights are on, and all the lights on
1:14
Speaker 4: my bord are on.
1:15
Speaker 2: Yip.
1:15
Speaker 5: Everything worked.
1:16
Speaker 1: I did have a we're liveing on time.
1:18
Speaker 5: Had a little nervousness right at six o'clock. I'm like,
1:22
Speaker 5: is it gonna work today?
1:23
Speaker 1: Yeah?
1:23
Speaker 2: I added in the elevator as I was coming in,
1:26
Speaker 2: because we're still being powered by the generator outside. So
1:30
Speaker 2: I saw that on the drive in and I'm like,
1:32
Speaker 2: oh boy, this was the problem.
1:34
Speaker 5: Yesterday, but at least it wasn't on fire.
1:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not on fire number one, so check
1:40
Speaker 2: number two. Yeah that it sounded like.
1:44
Speaker 1: It was working. It was humming, it's loud.
1:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really mechanically inclined, so all I could do
1:50
Speaker 2: is just press my ear to it. It was operating. Well,
1:55
Speaker 2: I have no idea. But then I got in the
1:57
Speaker 2: elevator and I.
1:58
Speaker 1: Hit the bar. But I'm like, oh no, if the
2:02
Speaker 1: elevator's not working, and I hit it again, I oh
2:07
Speaker 1: not this, gosh, not again.
2:11
Speaker 5: Oh no.
2:12
Speaker 2: And then I realized, Oh, because we get up at
2:16
Speaker 2: ridiculous hours, and I'm not thinking because I'm trying to
2:19
Speaker 2: figure out what I'm going to talk about first today,
2:23
Speaker 2: I just keep hitting the button on the floor I'm
2:25
Speaker 2: already on.
2:26
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, it's not going to go anywhere if
2:27
Speaker 4: you're on that floor. So yeah, I wasn't gonna move
2:30
Speaker 4: up from P one, all right?
2:32
Speaker 5: Fair?
2:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, when I'm on. When you're on P one
2:35
Speaker 2: and you hit P one, you don't go upward.
2:38
Speaker 5: Nope, you're there, You're already there. You've already arrived.
2:42
Speaker 1: So it turns out operator error.
2:44
Speaker 4: Well, that can happen sometimes we have an excuse this
2:46
Speaker 4: early and you know what, we've been.
2:49
Speaker 5: Through a lot.
2:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
2:50
Speaker 2: Apparently they went through a lot more Friday than what
2:53
Speaker 2: I realized. Yeah, I'm glad I was, you know, under
2:56
Speaker 2: the scope on Friday. Colon uscopy was a big, big,
3:01
Speaker 2: major improvement over what the staff went through on Friday.
3:04
Speaker 2: I'll get ten of those before I go through. Well
3:07
Speaker 2: the staff went through on Friday.
3:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
3:09
Speaker 4: And I was texing with Jessamin on Friday because I
3:11
Speaker 4: saw the social media stuff and I was like, wait,
3:12
Speaker 4: was it actually a fire or was it?
3:14
Speaker 5: Because we had a.
3:15
Speaker 4: Lot of people asking this yesterday when we weren't on
3:17
Speaker 4: the air, and I said, well, they left over from
3:19
Speaker 4: the fire, and they're like, oh, it was real. We
3:21
Speaker 4: thought Ian was joking. No, there was an actual fire.
3:25
Speaker 4: Our boss, Purple Sheet said, quote every fire truck in
3:29
Speaker 4: the city was outside our building. They had staging areas
3:32
Speaker 4: and command centers and all sorts of things here, and
3:36
Speaker 4: then they got everything fixed there, but the power was
3:38
Speaker 4: out in the building, so then they brought a generator
3:40
Speaker 4: in and then that caught fire over the weekend and
3:44
Speaker 4: then that's the reason why we had issues yesterday because
3:48
Speaker 4: of the new generator that came in.
3:50
Speaker 2: And apparently the new generator was all set on Sunday
3:54
Speaker 2: and then it reset itself overnight.
3:57
Speaker 5: And then everything went out.
3:58
Speaker 2: Uh, and everything went out, and our engineers didn't know,
4:01
Speaker 2: so when we got in and everything was dark, it
4:05
Speaker 2: was news to them.
4:06
Speaker 1: So the scramble was on.
4:07
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's the reason I mean, I am a
4:10
Speaker 2: pullback the curtain type of person. Most bosses don't want
4:13
Speaker 2: us to even mention that that happened yesterday. But if
4:16
Speaker 2: you missed us yesterday, a lot of you did express
4:19
Speaker 2: how much you missed.
4:19
Speaker 5: Us yes nice day.
4:21
Speaker 2: It was really nice to see here we are back live.
4:24
Speaker 2: That does not happen very often, Believe me. I worked
4:27
Speaker 2: at Sports Fan Radio Network in Las Vegas when I
4:30
Speaker 2: started in this business, and there were we were off
4:34
Speaker 2: the air so frequently. There were so many engineering mishaps.
4:38
Speaker 2: I mean, we did our show out of the Las
4:41
Speaker 2: Vegas MGM Grand That's where I did my show on
4:45
Speaker 2: a daily basis, And one day I drove to work
4:48
Speaker 2: and the entire casino was dark, like there was power
4:52
Speaker 2: out on the entire block. So the entire casino was dark,
4:55
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my gosh, Joe sand screwed something up.
4:58
Speaker 1: He was our engineer sports fan.
5:01
Speaker 2: I was sure that he'd clipped the wrong wire and
5:05
Speaker 2: shorted out the entire block of Las Vegas.
5:08
Speaker 1: So anyway, it happens very rarely here.
5:11
Speaker 2: I mean, sure, we have some technical difficulties now and
5:13
Speaker 2: then every radio station has to deal with it. But
5:16
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been off the air for
5:18
Speaker 2: an hour and a half. Yeah, that was the first
5:20
Speaker 2: I've since I've been here. Yeah, and so it was
5:23
Speaker 2: good to finally get on the air. No reason to
5:25
Speaker 2: get angry about it. Here we are again, and hopefully
5:28
Speaker 2: we're back into the routine with you here this morning.
5:32
Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson's still not here, so we're still not back
5:34
Speaker 2: to normal, but at least the lights are on, the
5:37
Speaker 2: powers on, and we are ready to broadcast. And I
5:40
Speaker 2: hope I didn't jinx anything by talking about it here
5:43
Speaker 2: this morning. So we'll knock on some wood here to
5:46
Speaker 2: get us started on this day. By the way, before
5:48
Speaker 2: we move into Mariners sweeping the astros, I do want
5:51
Speaker 2: to say I now have a topper for you know,
5:56
Speaker 2: a lot of people complain about the guy who who
6:00
Speaker 2: talks about his fantasy football team, like any even people
6:03
Speaker 2: that play fantasy football, aren't interested in hearing you, you know,
6:08
Speaker 2: for a half hour, go on and on and on
6:11
Speaker 2: about your fantasy football team shortcomings or successes. It's a
6:16
Speaker 2: common joke, like I don't want to hear about your
6:17
Speaker 2: fantasy football team. Don't take it on dates, and don't
6:21
Speaker 2: take it two buddies at the bar unless they're in
6:24
Speaker 2: the same league with you. But I now have a
6:28
Speaker 2: topper for that. Oh it's colonoscopy tales.
6:31
Speaker 5: Oh you know what?
6:33
Speaker 2: It is unreal how many people can't wait to tell
6:37
Speaker 2: because I think when you first get it done, you
6:39
Speaker 2: don't think anyone would possibly want to know. But then
6:43
Speaker 2: whenever somebody knowingly does it because we talked about it
6:47
Speaker 2: on the air, then you should have seen the people
6:49
Speaker 2: come out of the woodwork. And poor Rory and Luke,
6:52
Speaker 2: who are like twelve and fourteen and work in our
6:55
Speaker 2: sales staff. They're sitting like one station over from the
6:59
Speaker 2: sales men and I on Thursday, and oh my gosh,
7:05
Speaker 2: it was like a half hour of people telling their colonoscopy.
7:09
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, which I don't.
7:11
Speaker 1: I'm like, can we start talking about fantasy football?
7:13
Speaker 6: Yeah?
7:13
Speaker 5: Right, your team do this mass bracket.
7:16
Speaker 4: But that's the funny thing too, is it's like, I
7:17
Speaker 4: don't really know how many tales there can be, Like,
7:20
Speaker 4: it's not I don't know.
7:22
Speaker 2: Oh, they want to talk about the mix, and then
7:24
Speaker 2: they want to talk about what you ate afterwards, and
7:26
Speaker 2: then they want to talk about the profofall and how
7:29
Speaker 2: long and what what was your procedure, And then it's
7:33
Speaker 2: just it's a thing. Yeah, it's a thing. I mean
7:36
Speaker 2: people I don't think volunteer it. But if you open
7:39
Speaker 2: the door.
7:39
Speaker 5: Then they were like, yes, let's talk about that.
7:41
Speaker 1: They can't wait to kick it in.
7:43
Speaker 5: Because normalized colocopies.
7:47
Speaker 2: Maybe the wife doesn't want to hear it, and that
7:49
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, I got a great story to tell.
7:52
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna hear it.
7:54
Speaker 2: So anyway, Uh, if you're like that or your friends
7:58
Speaker 2: are like that, know that you're not alone.
8:00
Speaker 1: Yes, it happens.
8:02
Speaker 2: I talked about it all day yesterday at the office
8:04
Speaker 2: and all day Thursday before the procedure at the office.
8:08
Speaker 2: So well, welcome into the radio program. Hopefully it's better
8:12
Speaker 2: than a colonoscopy. We've got you here for the next
8:14
Speaker 2: four hours talk about all sorts of things today. Our
8:18
Speaker 2: draft MIAs countdown continues, and we have a baseball team
8:22
Speaker 2: that is nearly dug out of the hole it created
8:24
Speaker 2: for itself.
8:26
Speaker 1: The Houston Astros and.
8:27
Speaker 2: Their beat up, beat up starting rotation ended up being
8:32
Speaker 2: quite the blessing for this team to fix what had
8:37
Speaker 2: ailed them. A four and nine start, had a lot
8:39
Speaker 2: of people panicking out there, and yet the Mariners did
8:42
Speaker 2: turn it around sort of in one series. They're still
8:46
Speaker 2: not completely out of the hole, but have a chance
8:48
Speaker 2: tonight to get back to the five hundred mark and
8:51
Speaker 2: then let's just start over. Yeah, take a deep breath,
8:55
Speaker 2: and then we can just start all over and figure
8:57
Speaker 2: it out that way. But four straight way the Houston Astros,
9:02
Speaker 2: and I don't care if they are injured. It is
9:06
Speaker 2: precisely what the Mariners needed. And they did get a
9:09
Speaker 2: lot of help. I mean, the Astros pitchers walked twenty
9:13
Speaker 2: seven batters over the course of the four games that
9:16
Speaker 2: we played them. But and the ms who scored only
9:21
Speaker 2: six runs in the entire Rangers series where the Mariners
9:25
Speaker 2: got swept, didn't have a game where they didn't score
9:28
Speaker 2: at least six runs in this four game series, so
9:32
Speaker 2: twenty nine runs overall in the series. I mean a
9:36
Speaker 2: get well series to a degree from the standpoint of Okay,
9:40
Speaker 2: it took thirteen wins thirteen games to get four wins
9:43
Speaker 2: out of the gates, and then you just picked up
9:45
Speaker 2: four in a row against what is supposed to be
9:49
Speaker 2: a team that we're going to battle this year in
9:51
Speaker 2: the American League West. So yes, you can get well
9:55
Speaker 2: in a hurry, and the Mariners did just that. And
9:58
Speaker 2: I think it's actually encourage that even though Josh and
10:02
Speaker 2: Julio and Cal got a little healthier as hitters over
10:07
Speaker 2: the course of these four games, Josh with the big
10:09
Speaker 2: game yesterday, they're still their numbers are so bad this
10:13
Speaker 2: year still at this point that it is just so
10:18
Speaker 2: highly encouraging that you could look after seventeen games at
10:23
Speaker 2: three hitters in the middle of your order, all with
10:26
Speaker 2: slugging percentages under three hundred, under two ninety as a
10:31
Speaker 2: matter of fact, and yet you're sitting there at.
10:34
Speaker 1: Eight to nine on the year, and you know.
10:37
Speaker 2: At least are treading water seventeen games into the year.
10:41
Speaker 2: So it was sort of a get right series, and
10:45
Speaker 2: you don't care how much help you get from the
10:47
Speaker 2: injury gods.
10:48
Speaker 1: You take it. You take the wins when you can
10:51
Speaker 1: get them.
10:52
Speaker 2: And maybe the Mariners still aren't playing their best baseball
10:55
Speaker 2: seventeen games into the year. As a matter of fact,
10:57
Speaker 2: I think maybe they just finished to stretch up their
10:59
Speaker 2: worst baiting to play this entire year. And yet you're
11:02
Speaker 2: sitting there with an acceptable eight and nine record seventeen
11:07
Speaker 2: games into the season.
11:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, you did it against a division rival, and I
11:11
Speaker 4: don't think Houston's going to be terrible all year.
11:13
Speaker 5: So you take those wins where you can get them.
11:14
Speaker 4: And you know, it was a frustrating start, or has
11:19
Speaker 4: been a frustrating start for the Mariners, But to sweep
11:22
Speaker 4: these four games, I think, yeah, it gives them that
11:24
Speaker 4: boost of confidence. It gives them that little Okay, we
11:27
Speaker 4: can take a bit of a breath, because you know,
11:29
Speaker 4: when we're four and nine and everyone's panicking, not panicking, but.
11:32
Speaker 5: There were a lot of panicking.
11:34
Speaker 1: A lot of people have already folded the tents for goodness.
11:37
Speaker 4: But I can't say everyone because then people will write
11:39
Speaker 4: back and say, oh panicking, No, yeah.
11:41
Speaker 2: No, I'm glad. I hate representing it that way. But
11:44
Speaker 2: a lot of people were panicking.
11:46
Speaker 4: For sure, and there were a lot of people who
11:48
Speaker 4: were frustrated like we were, because it was an irritating
11:50
Speaker 4: start to the season.
11:51
Speaker 5: And so to whatever aspect you.
11:54
Speaker 4: Can use to gain that momentum and that positivity and
11:58
Speaker 4: putting your team in the right direction.
12:00
Speaker 5: I mean, the pitching was great, and I just it
12:03
Speaker 5: was awesome. I'll take it. And I'm not sad at
12:06
Speaker 5: all that Houston has lost eight in a row.
12:07
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not at all. I know you want
12:11
Speaker 2: us to have sympathy for you. It's never going.
12:13
Speaker 5: To good luck.
12:14
Speaker 2: Yes, but look, I mean, seventeen games into the season,
12:18
Speaker 2: with the exception of Luis Castillo, the pitching looks good,
12:22
Speaker 2: too great at this point. The bullpen is looks fine. Yeah,
12:32
Speaker 2: the defense has been bad seventeen games into the year,
12:35
Speaker 2: But the thing that really stands out is those big three.
12:38
Speaker 1: And we talked about it a lot last week.
12:41
Speaker 2: I said it last week before the Astro Series even
12:44
Speaker 2: got started, when you were sitting there at four and nine,
12:46
Speaker 2: and I said, go ahead and start panicking if you
12:49
Speaker 2: truly believe cal Raleig, Julio Rodriguez, and Josh Naylor. Overnight
12:55
Speaker 2: became the three worst hitters in the American League. Have
12:58
Speaker 2: you really believed, because that's the why we're four and nine.
13:01
Speaker 2: There's no other I mean, defense was part of it.
13:04
Speaker 2: Some sloppy base running was part of it. Luis Castillo
13:07
Speaker 2: not being really part of his game was part of it.
13:09
Speaker 2: Not being on his game as part of it.
13:11
Speaker 5: But it was those one run losses.
13:12
Speaker 2: Dan Wilson, I don't think has been sharp as I
13:16
Speaker 2: want to see him, but those were all minor factors
13:20
Speaker 2: and you were still just with all of those factors,
13:22
Speaker 2: losing by one run in nearly every single game that
13:26
Speaker 2: you played. Well, you can see if just one guy
13:30
Speaker 2: out of those big three has a day Josh Naylor
13:34
Speaker 2: knocks in five runs and it's two homers, just one
13:37
Speaker 2: of those guys. And so you were operating in a
13:40
Speaker 2: series of one run losses with your three worst hitters
13:44
Speaker 2: or three best hitters hitting as bad as they possibly
13:47
Speaker 2: can hit.
13:47
Speaker 1: Playing. Yeah, And so I said it.
13:50
Speaker 2: Before the Astro series start, if you really think that
13:53
Speaker 2: this is who they are, then I would panic, you know,
13:56
Speaker 2: because we're not going to overcome cal Ralely, Julio Roda
14:00
Speaker 2: Vegas and Josh Naylor hitting under one forty all season long.
14:03
Speaker 1: We're just not going to overcome it.
14:05
Speaker 2: And even though none of them are what I would
14:08
Speaker 2: describe as on fire, you did see Josh Naylor finally
14:12
Speaker 2: get his first extra base hit, so you got to
14:15
Speaker 2: see some production yesterday, and he pretty much carried the
14:18
Speaker 2: team to their six runs yesterday, Julio, as we talked
14:21
Speaker 2: about with Ryan Healey yesterday, Ryan said, he looks the
14:24
Speaker 2: one that's back. He looks like he's on and now
14:29
Speaker 2: he's not getting balls to fall, and he's not hitting
14:31
Speaker 2: a lot of balls over the wall, but he's making
14:33
Speaker 2: consistently hard contact. He got a couple more hits yesterday,
14:37
Speaker 2: got the batting average over two hundred.
14:39
Speaker 1: It's a start. And then for Cal, I mean, I would.
14:43
Speaker 2: Like to think that we are all on the same
14:46
Speaker 2: page on this, that maybe he'll never have another season
14:50
Speaker 2: like he had a year ago. But he was already
14:53
Speaker 2: really good yeah before last season, So you know, I
14:58
Speaker 2: do suspect that he's going to be at least that player.
15:02
Speaker 2: He's at least going to be twenty twenty four col
15:05
Speaker 2: even if he's never twenty twenty five col again. And
15:09
Speaker 2: so a couple hits yesterday.
15:11
Speaker 1: For him still not right.
15:13
Speaker 2: I think he's the one that looks furthest away frankly
15:15
Speaker 2: from who he is. But you are seeing progress, you
15:19
Speaker 2: are seeing a step in the right direction. And the
15:22
Speaker 2: good news is you're only seventeen games into the year,
15:25
Speaker 2: so we still have five and a half months of
15:28
Speaker 2: baseball to play, and we're eight and nine with those
15:32
Speaker 2: three hitting about as badly as you possibly can. So
15:35
Speaker 2: not only are we seeing signs, we're now starting to
15:37
Speaker 2: see production from the three of.
15:38
Speaker 1: Them, and it feels like, finally we're ready.
15:41
Speaker 2: Okay, seventeen games into the year, we can get back
15:44
Speaker 2: to five hundred right now, We'll take that Mulligan, Cal, Julio,
15:48
Speaker 2: Josh hitting Finally. Now let's see who's the best team
15:52
Speaker 2: in the American League West.
15:53
Speaker 4: Let's go yeah, exactly, and it is we talked about
15:57
Speaker 4: two in those first what is it, I can't do
15:59
Speaker 4: math now thirteen games that we had a lot of
16:02
Speaker 4: bad luck that went our way too, and we've got
16:04
Speaker 4: to get some good luck that goes your way. And
16:06
Speaker 4: that hit that Cal had yesterday where the pitcher just
16:09
Speaker 4: decided I'm not going to run all the way to
16:11
Speaker 4: first base and Cal hustled down the line and got
16:15
Speaker 4: that single.
16:16
Speaker 5: I mean, those are the things that kind of now have.
16:18
Speaker 4: To go your way, right, You got to get those
16:20
Speaker 4: little things and it will ebb and flow all season long.
16:22
Speaker 4: And so you know, just being in the right place
16:26
Speaker 4: putting the ball in play, you never know what's going
16:28
Speaker 4: to happen.
16:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got some brakes from the Astros injuries
16:31
Speaker 2: and the pitchers couldn't find the strike zone. And but
16:35
Speaker 2: I would also give credit to the Mariners. It's not
16:37
Speaker 2: like they were all over the place. There were a
16:39
Speaker 2: lot of good at that. So this is part of
16:41
Speaker 2: this team's profile. They take walks and they hit homers.
16:44
Speaker 2: That's how they they operate offensively. So how the way
16:47
Speaker 2: they've operated now for years, and they're trying to get better.
16:52
Speaker 2: They're trying to find the pieces that put the ball
16:54
Speaker 2: in play more consistently. But really what their offense is
16:57
Speaker 2: built on is getting walksting traffic and then hitting the
17:02
Speaker 2: home run and then relying on their pitching. And that's
17:05
Speaker 2: kind of what you saw to an exaggerated degree, because
17:10
Speaker 2: to your point, you caught some breaks with Astro's pitchers
17:13
Speaker 2: injuries and then barely missing the strike zone consistently. Throughout
17:18
Speaker 2: the entire series. But you did score six runs yesterday
17:20
Speaker 2: with only one walk. Yeah, and so to me this
17:23
Speaker 2: was a bit of a healing series. It does feel like, Okay,
17:27
Speaker 2: now let's start the season. Yes, let's go, let's come
17:31
Speaker 2: bring it on, Padres.
17:32
Speaker 1: You heated rival you and all right, let's find out
17:38
Speaker 1: what's on tap for the rest of the show. What's
17:44
Speaker 1: on tip? What's on tap?
17:46
Speaker 2: Nothing but kolonoscopy stories four hours? Get ready, people, I
17:50
Speaker 2: ge't wait, that's what that's what's on tap?
17:52
Speaker 4: Keith texted in, what's the plan to make up for
17:54
Speaker 4: the ninety minutes we missed out on yesterday?
17:56
Speaker 5: There you go, Keith, you answer.
17:58
Speaker 1: We'll do a podcast. Yeah, yeah, Tales from the Dopes
18:04
Speaker 1: on Scopes. Oh good.
18:09
Speaker 5: I probably would listen, honestly, I would.
18:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not. Mariners win yesterday six to over
18:15
Speaker 1: the Astros. They do sweep the series. So eight nine
18:18
Speaker 1: on the year in just a game and a half
18:19
Speaker 1: out of first place.
18:20
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, season's over.
18:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. I know.
18:23
Speaker 2: It's not a it's not a long season. I know
18:26
Speaker 2: it's never early.
18:28
Speaker 1: They can't be.
18:28
Speaker 4: Right, Chuck, because we were in last place last week
18:32
Speaker 4: Mariners at Padres Tonight six forty starts on.
18:35
Speaker 2: We'll cover more of it in Mariner's Morning After at
18:37
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour.
18:38
Speaker 1: Some other sports that are going on.
18:40
Speaker 2: NBA playing tonight Miami and Charlotte is one of the
18:45
Speaker 2: matchups than the nightcap will be Portland and Phoenix.
18:47
Speaker 1: Portland and Phoenix are the top two teams. This is
18:50
Speaker 1: the way it works.
18:51
Speaker 2: So Portland and Phoenix winner tonight gets into the playoffs
18:54
Speaker 2: as the seven seed. The loser then awaits tomorrow's winner
18:59
Speaker 2: Bewean Golden State and the Clippers. Then those two teams
19:03
Speaker 2: play on Friday for the eighth and final spot in
19:06
Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs. So that's how the play in tournament works.
19:09
Speaker 2: In case you're not familiar, I think most of you are,
19:12
Speaker 2: or maybe you forgot. The eastern side it will be
19:15
Speaker 2: Miami and Charlotte, so that's the bottom feeders. So they
19:20
Speaker 2: will play. The winner will the loser will be eliminated,
19:24
Speaker 2: and the winner will play the loser Tomorrow night. On
19:27
Speaker 2: the eastern side of things, they will play excuse me,
19:30
Speaker 2: Friday night. Tomorrow night's game will be all right, I've
19:34
Speaker 2: confused myself, so easy.
19:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
19:39
Speaker 2: But yes, that's that's tonight and the play in So
19:43
Speaker 2: they still haven't figured out the sixteen teams in the playoffs.
19:46
Speaker 1: And you know, message to Adam Silver. You have all
19:49
Speaker 1: this talk about.
19:51
Speaker 2: Tanking and load management. You've got NBA head coaches like
19:56
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr saying we need fewer games, being public, being
20:00
Speaker 2: absolutely like bombastic about it. You don't help your cause
20:05
Speaker 2: when you take an already watered down playoffs where everybody's
20:09
Speaker 2: saying Chalk's going to prevail, there are no upsets in
20:13
Speaker 2: the first round, and you decide, instead of shortening them,
20:17
Speaker 2: which is what you know you should do, you need
20:19
Speaker 2: fewer teams in the playoffs. You've always operated with too
20:23
Speaker 2: many teams in the playoffs. And your solution to all
20:27
Speaker 2: of these.
20:27
Speaker 1: Things is let's put more teams in the playoff.
20:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes no sense.
20:32
Speaker 1: It's dumb. And so you know, I don't even encourage
20:37
Speaker 1: you to watch. I really don't. Just let it play out.
20:40
Speaker 2: Will update you tomorrow morning, and I'll do a better
20:42
Speaker 2: job of explaining that the format to you tomorrow.
20:46
Speaker 5: And I probably won't have watched, but I'll read about it.
20:49
Speaker 2: WNBA draft was last night, did the Storm win. The
20:53
Speaker 2: night kind of felt like they did, I think based
20:57
Speaker 2: on I don't watch a lot of women's basketball, and
20:59
Speaker 2: I I certainly don't watch a lot of Spanish women's basketball.
21:04
Speaker 2: But the highlight reels that I saw of this Awa Fom,
21:09
Speaker 2: which is what AI says, is our name's pronounced, even
21:12
Speaker 2: though every highlight I saw says fam uh. But awa
21:15
Speaker 2: fom or fam. Well, we're all formerly.
21:18
Speaker 5: Now yeah we are, we are farmerly.
21:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, the highlight package I saw of her, we got
21:25
Speaker 2: the best player in the draft.
21:27
Speaker 1: The Storm got the best player in the draft last night.
21:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
21:30
Speaker 2: Now, whether or not she can adjust the life in America,
21:32
Speaker 2: we shall see. But six foot four athletic, three point shooting, ability,
21:38
Speaker 2: interior post moves, there's nothing that she's not physically capable
21:43
Speaker 2: of doing on the women's court. And so you can
21:47
Speaker 2: have square her shoulders shooter Asi Fud and you can
21:50
Speaker 2: have passer Olivia Miles. I'll take the six foot four
21:54
Speaker 2: inch gazelle who.
21:55
Speaker 1: Can do everything.
21:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be fun to watch her.
21:58
Speaker 2: It is going to be farm to watch her. Plus,
22:00
Speaker 2: they made a trade for Flo J. Johnson out of
22:02
Speaker 2: LSU last night.
22:05
Speaker 1: There's a really interesting story there, which I am going
22:07
Speaker 1: to share with you a little bit later on.
22:09
Speaker 2: But bottom line, has felt like the Storm won the
22:11
Speaker 2: NBA WNBA Draft last night crack and fell to the
22:14
Speaker 2: Kings five to three. So at least we don't have
22:17
Speaker 2: to suffer them winning every single game of the last
22:20
Speaker 2: two weeks of the season where they were eliminated from
22:24
Speaker 2: the postseason.
22:25
Speaker 1: I would not have liked that.
22:26
Speaker 4: No, and then you would have looked at the SAMs
22:29
Speaker 4: standings and seen, oh, they missed the playoffs by two points,
22:32
Speaker 4: when really that's not the what happened.
22:33
Speaker 2: Everett FITZI will join us today at eight thirty, and
22:36
Speaker 2: then we are nine sleeps till the NFL Draft, and
22:39
Speaker 2: so we of course will celebrate traft miss with Rob
22:42
Speaker 2: Ring at seven oh five. Stocking Stuffer is an extended
22:45
Speaker 2: edition today at eight and the second edition of Miracle
22:49
Speaker 2: at thirty.
22:49
Speaker 1: Fourth Pick today at nine to thirty.
22:51
Speaker 2: But coming up next. More on the Mariners win yesterday.
22:54
Speaker 2: It's Mariners Morning After on KJR. The Seattle Mariners who
22:58
Speaker 2: took care of the Houston Astros in a four game sweep.
23:03
Speaker 2: Nice to see the Moose rubbing it in Yesterday after
23:06
Speaker 2: the game was over.
23:08
Speaker 5: We really should have played the song four more times.
23:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably for four different versions of it. But the
23:14
Speaker 1: Mariners we're looking for the sweep.
23:16
Speaker 2: Yesterday at home against the Astros, they were facing Mike Burrows,
23:20
Speaker 2: who's a pretty good prospect starting pitcher. Was certainly part
23:25
Speaker 2: of their plans this year. It's not like they reached
23:27
Speaker 2: down to single a to grab him. He was part
23:29
Speaker 2: of the big trade in the offseason for the Astros.
23:32
Speaker 2: But an opportunity here with George Kirby on the mound,
23:36
Speaker 2: certainly the pitching advantage to get that four game sweep.
23:39
Speaker 2: And not only did we want a four game sweep,
23:42
Speaker 2: we also wanted to see signs that our big three
23:46
Speaker 2: are starting to find themselves here in April. Josh Naylor
23:51
Speaker 2: entered this game without a single extra base hit through
23:55
Speaker 2: sixteen games this season. Not one double, not one true,
24:00
Speaker 2: not one home run from our guy Josh, who was
24:03
Speaker 2: of course the big off season edition if you will,
24:08
Speaker 2: via free agency, and yet he just hasn't gotten it
24:12
Speaker 2: cooking so far this year. Well, first inning, you get
24:16
Speaker 2: a Cal Rawley single to left, Julio Rodriguez double the left,
24:20
Speaker 2: You've got two runners on Josh Naylor coming to the plate,
24:23
Speaker 2: and Naylor decided enough's enough.
24:26
Speaker 3: Naylor looking to drive the ball into the big part
24:28
Speaker 3: of the yard, give col plenty of time to get
24:32
Speaker 3: in from third.
24:35
Speaker 1: Naylor shoots this deep right feet.
24:40
Speaker 3: Shots Naylor he's been waiting for him, his first of
24:44
Speaker 3: the year. He's a three run homer in the first inning.
24:49
Speaker 3: Now that is a good situational hitting on.
24:54
Speaker 2: Three run blasts set the tone for a game that's
24:58
Speaker 2: never really filped too much in doubt with George pitching
25:02
Speaker 2: as well as he was. And then Naylor added more
25:05
Speaker 2: insurance his second at bat. He decided, Yeah, I'm gonna
25:08
Speaker 2: go sixteen games without an extra base hit.
25:11
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to homer and back to back at bats.
25:13
Speaker 5: That second one was a bomb.
25:15
Speaker 2: Four hundred and thirty three feet, two omers, five RBI
25:18
Speaker 2: on the day for Naylor certainly was the player of
25:21
Speaker 2: the game. And it's nice because it's almost like they've
25:24
Speaker 2: gone through something together. There was a note made by
25:27
Speaker 2: Ryan Roland Smith in the postgame about the celebration interaction between.
25:33
Speaker 1: Naylor and Julio.
25:34
Speaker 2: Believe me, they've gone through this experience together, the three
25:38
Speaker 2: of them, and so they're not only wanting to come
25:40
Speaker 2: out of it themselves. They know how important the other
25:43
Speaker 2: two guys are. So for Josh to kind of break
25:45
Speaker 2: out yesterday, I think Julio was more excited for Naylor than.
25:48
Speaker 1: What Naylor was. And they're all getting going.
25:53
Speaker 2: I mean that first inning was single col single, Julio homer,
25:58
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor. When those three guys get I know that
26:01
Speaker 2: our pitching's for real. I know that the lineup is deeper. Yeah.
26:06
Speaker 2: If those guys all get going at the exact same time,
26:09
Speaker 2: you could rattle off some success here.
26:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:11
Speaker 4: Well, and you could even see it in calspace when
26:13
Speaker 4: he was waiting for Naylor at home and they kind
26:16
Speaker 4: of did the low five and then kind of a
26:19
Speaker 4: helmet tap and he's the look on his face was like, yeah,
26:22
Speaker 4: all right, And that was on calspace, not on Naylor's face.
26:25
Speaker 2: Right right, all right, So hopefully they're going. George Kirby
26:28
Speaker 2: certainly going. He's off to a terrific start. Seven and
26:32
Speaker 2: two thirds innings yesterday, just two runs allowed, six strikeouts.
26:37
Speaker 2: Dan Wilson went and paid him a visit, and the
26:39
Speaker 2: eighth inning, I mean, we don't see starting pitchers go
26:42
Speaker 2: that deep anymore in Major League baseball much less the distance,
26:45
Speaker 2: and Wilson listened to George walked off the mound, kept
26:49
Speaker 2: him out there, ends up walking the next batter on
26:51
Speaker 2: four pitches. But a couple of things out there. It's
26:54
Speaker 2: number one, Dan, I think it's gonna let his starting
26:57
Speaker 2: pitchers go a little longer this year. That's out of
27:00
Speaker 2: the feeling that I'm getting, uh, and to you know,
27:03
Speaker 2: George never.
27:03
Speaker 1: Wants to leave the mound. He ends up going ahead
27:07
Speaker 1: and doing it voluntarily. He gets the win.
27:09
Speaker 2: He's two and two on the season at three point
27:11
Speaker 2: two five e R. And here he was after the game.
27:14
Speaker 7: You know, I always want to keep them all in
27:15
Speaker 7: my hands. So I got all the help from JP
27:18
Speaker 7: yelling keep him in, keep him in. And then but yeah,
27:22
Speaker 7: I'm glad Dan you know, bleed me right there, but
27:25
Speaker 7: you know, walk but which went a little better. But yeah,
27:29
Speaker 7: I'm glad he uh he kept me in. Yeah, it's awesome.
27:34
Speaker 7: Dan's the best, and he believes in us. And you know,
27:38
Speaker 7: she sometimes just gotta you know, vocalize that and you
27:42
Speaker 7: know he'll he'll, he'll let you go out. But I mean, yeah, yeah,
27:50
Speaker 7: we all want to go out there, keep throwing as
27:51
Speaker 7: long as we can, So when we get the chance
27:53
Speaker 7: to do it, it feels good. Coffins booster and even for
28:00
Speaker 7: that your next game, you know, in those kind of situations,
28:04
Speaker 7: he believes that, you know, you're a great guy to
28:05
Speaker 7: get to forget that out. What does it mean to
28:09
Speaker 7: have that support from JP and to do Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah,
28:14
Speaker 7: any anything like that that helps.
28:17
Speaker 3: But uh.
28:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean those guys played unbelievable defense today, so
28:22
Speaker 7: it's awesome.
28:23
Speaker 1: What did you want Obviously walk in, we didn't want
28:25
Speaker 1: to walk over. But what were you hoping to do?
28:27
Speaker 7: Like attack him? You know? Oh yeah, I mean just
28:30
Speaker 7: strike him out in three pitches and hopefully.
28:32
Speaker 1: I mean.
28:34
Speaker 2: George Kirby with a win yesterday, Dan's trying to steal
28:38
Speaker 2: a few outs right now. I mean, they've played seventeen
28:42
Speaker 2: games in nineteen days and they're not alone in that.
28:44
Speaker 2: A lot of teams have done. Nobody's played more than that.
28:47
Speaker 2: But to have only two days off and Major League
28:50
Speaker 2: Baseball kind of stacks things at the beginning of the year.
28:53
Speaker 2: In case there are rainouts, we want to make sure
28:55
Speaker 2: that we get as many games as we can in
28:57
Speaker 2: in the month of April, and if we have to
28:59
Speaker 2: make him up. We'll make him up a little bit later.
29:01
Speaker 2: So it's sort of done by design. But seventeen games
29:06
Speaker 2: in nineteen days is no joke in major And they don't.
29:10
Speaker 1: Have a day off to day.
29:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't have a day off this week.
29:12
Speaker 2: They don't have a day off this week. They don't
29:14
Speaker 2: have another one until next Thursday. And so even though
29:19
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have seen Brash come in
29:21
Speaker 2: in the eighth yesterday for George because I think he'd
29:25
Speaker 2: done enough, and I would have liked to have seen
29:28
Speaker 2: Munos in even though it was a four run lead
29:30
Speaker 2: and not a save opportunity, I think it played a
29:33
Speaker 2: little bit with fire there with Cole Wilcox, and he
29:36
Speaker 2: wasn't exactly he got him out, but he wasn't exactly
29:39
Speaker 2: getting him to pop up yesterday. And so yeah, from
29:43
Speaker 2: a baseball perspective, like, no, let's just secure this win.
29:46
Speaker 2: But Dan's trying to steal some outs here, so he tried, Look, George,
29:51
Speaker 2: was it ninety some pitches, Like let's try to steal
29:53
Speaker 2: an innying, Let's try to steal some outs here With George,
29:56
Speaker 2: He's going, well, maybe we don't have to use Brash
29:59
Speaker 2: today and then we got a four run lead, maybe
30:02
Speaker 2: we don't have to use Munjos. He's up and ready
30:04
Speaker 2: if we have to use him, but let's try to
30:07
Speaker 2: steal some outs here, because he knows the.
30:09
Speaker 1: Stretch that they've been through and the stretch that is.
30:12
Speaker 2: Still upcoming of a lot of baseball that's going to
30:15
Speaker 2: be played. And you're not going to get a rain
30:16
Speaker 2: out in San Diego, and you're not going to get
30:18
Speaker 2: a rain out home against the you know when you've
30:22
Speaker 2: got a roof. So he's you know, strategically trying to
30:26
Speaker 2: steal few outs right now.
30:27
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry he made you nervous.
30:28
Speaker 3: He did me.
30:29
Speaker 2: Too yesterday, but he got it done. You got the
30:33
Speaker 2: win and you didn't have to use Munjos yesterday, and
30:36
Speaker 2: now he's fresh to take on the Padres tonight.
30:38
Speaker 7: Well.
30:38
Speaker 4: And that's the thing is, especially with the way the
30:40
Speaker 4: schedule has been in all last week and they had
30:42
Speaker 4: the Wednesday day game, and I know there was questions
30:45
Speaker 4: about leaving Castillo in and things like that, but you're
30:48
Speaker 4: doing these things because you're trying to make sure that
30:50
Speaker 4: everybody else can get as much rest as possible. And
30:53
Speaker 4: if it's okay, I got to leave him in a
30:55
Speaker 4: little longer than I would like to. And yeah, he's
30:56
Speaker 4: giving up runs and I don't love that. Well, you
30:59
Speaker 4: know what, you gotta look at the entirety of the
31:01
Speaker 4: whole thing, not just that one game.
31:02
Speaker 2: So right, and you're not pulling starters these days when
31:06
Speaker 2: you're playing every day, even if they're struggling in the
31:09
Speaker 2: second inning, you can't blows.
31:11
Speaker 5: Up your bullpen and ruins everything.
31:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you might decide, Okay, he's gonna have to
31:15
Speaker 2: wear it today. Heard that expression in baseball, and you
31:18
Speaker 2: might have to kick a game and you might have
31:19
Speaker 2: to accept that's a loss ended up being a win. Yeah,
31:22
Speaker 2: but you might have to accept a loss on a
31:24
Speaker 2: day because it helps you win more games later over
31:27
Speaker 2: the course of the entire one hundred and sixty two
31:30
Speaker 2: games schedule. So that's what he's doing right now, and
31:34
Speaker 2: hopefully we'll benefit from that in the long run. Tonight,
31:38
Speaker 2: Brian Wu will take on Michael King, a matchup of
31:41
Speaker 2: really good right handers. Ours is better, but theirs as good.
31:45
Speaker 2: And so the Padres have been on a roll. They've
31:47
Speaker 2: won five straight games. They are ten and six on
31:50
Speaker 2: the season. We'll have more of a Padres preview coming
31:53
Speaker 2: your way later on in the show. First pitch six
31:55
Speaker 2: forty from Wales, Vagina. All right, coming up next, Well,
32:00

Speaker 2: got Stocking Stuffers an extended edition today at eight o'clock,
33:27
Speaker 2: plus Miracle a thirty fourth pick these second edition. You
33:31
Speaker 2: know they didn't make another one of those movies. I
33:33
Speaker 2: guess they thought everything had been settled, no loose ends
33:36
Speaker 2: and whatnot. Yeah, right, but we have a lot of
33:38
Speaker 2: unsettled stuff. So we will have part two of Miracle
33:42
Speaker 2: at thirty fourth pick coming your way today at nine thirty.
33:45
Speaker 1: And thanks to the WNBA last night. Really appreciate it.
33:49
Speaker 2: Does my heart really good to see how much our
33:51
Speaker 2: little holiday that we invented has spread. That the WNBA
33:55
Speaker 2: every year holds its draft during Draftmas season, and so
33:58
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you ladies, gentlemen.
34:00
Speaker 1: We appreciate it well.
34:01
Speaker 4: And they got all dressed up for the holidays, I do,
34:03
Speaker 4: I mean they looked spectacular. All the ladies had gowns on,
34:07
Speaker 4: and I thought, you know, maybe we need to step
34:10
Speaker 4: up our draftmas dressing game because they they deck they
34:13
Speaker 4: were decked, They decked the halls.
34:15
Speaker 2: I think the WNBA throws one of the best draft
34:17
Speaker 2: miss parties that there is. I think you're right, yeah,
34:20
Speaker 2: And last night I think they I think the Storm
34:22
Speaker 2: were celebrated. I have a feeling there are a lot
34:24
Speaker 2: of Storm executives that woke up drunk this morning because
34:28
Speaker 2: I felt like they sort of owned the night. I
34:31
Speaker 2: think that based off of and this is just a
34:33
Speaker 2: highlight package. I think they got the best athlete, maybe
34:36
Speaker 2: the best player in the draft at pick number three.
34:39
Speaker 1: This flo j Johnson. I mean, we've heard about her
34:42
Speaker 1: for years.
34:42
Speaker 2: So won a national championship at LSU. Apparently big in
34:45
Speaker 2: social media. Yes, apparently like has a rap career as well,
34:49
Speaker 2: but good player too. And they pulled off a trade
34:53
Speaker 2: to move all the way from the top of the
34:55
Speaker 2: second round all the way up to the eighth pick
34:57
Speaker 2: with the Valkyrie to take her, and then got another
35:02
Speaker 2: first round pick at fourteen as well. It kind of
35:05
Speaker 2: felt like the Storm won the night last night. And
35:09
Speaker 2: yet it's another interesting thing. I don't follow the league
35:14
Speaker 2: all that much, but this is a really strange comment,
35:17
Speaker 2: Is it not so? Afterwards, the general manager of the
35:22
Speaker 2: Valkyries who pulled off the trade with the Storm was
35:25
Speaker 2: asked about why you pulled off that trade last night,
35:30
Speaker 2: and her response was, I'm going to take a beat
35:33
Speaker 2: to be able to eloquently give a response.
35:36
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of details to share.
35:39
Speaker 2: What you're the general manager? She added one because I'm exhausted,
35:45
Speaker 2: oh at two rounds.
35:49
Speaker 5: And this is your first year, right, first year as
35:51
Speaker 5: a team.
35:53
Speaker 2: Then she added two because I want to be very
35:56
Speaker 2: thoughtful when I'm talking about other humans and their basketball
35:59
Speaker 2: ability and how they would or would not show up
36:02
Speaker 2: for our squad.
36:03
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of general manager do that?
36:06
Speaker 7: Like?
36:07
Speaker 2: Why did you make the trade? Let me think about it,
36:10
Speaker 2: let me craft and response. I need a night to sleep,
36:14
Speaker 2: and I don't want to say anything I'm gonna reach.
36:16
Speaker 5: I mean, did she not think she was going to
36:17
Speaker 5: get asked that question?
36:18
Speaker 1: I don't know.
36:20
Speaker 4: They had drafted Flajey Johnson and then traded her rights
36:24
Speaker 4: to the store.
36:25
Speaker 5: I mean, what did she did She think everyone was
36:26
Speaker 5: gonna be like, Wow, that was cool. I don't know
36:29
Speaker 5: the questions, no further questions.
36:30
Speaker 1: It's the strangest response I think I've ever heard from
36:33
Speaker 1: a general manager.
36:34
Speaker 2: And maybe, yeah, I mean yesterday I got schooled by
36:36
Speaker 2: a lot of our Texters, like that's just the way
36:38
Speaker 2: it is in this league. You just don't understand when
36:40
Speaker 2: I made a comment about something else. And maybe that's true,
36:43
Speaker 2: and maybe the same thing applies here. Maybe WNBA general
36:47
Speaker 2: managers aren't really involved in the process.
36:49
Speaker 1: I don't know.
36:51
Speaker 2: She also was asked about how the trade affects the
36:56
Speaker 2: salary cap. She said, I don't talk or comment about
37:00
Speaker 2: salary cap, so I wouldn't be able to answer the
37:03
Speaker 2: question that way.
37:05
Speaker 5: What what do you do then?
37:09
Speaker 1: As the general I'm not sure. I'm really not sure.
37:12
Speaker 1: I don't think she made the trade.
37:13
Speaker 4: I think I think el she'd got through in school
37:15
Speaker 4: was the deflection part of the questions, Oh, actually, that's
37:19
Speaker 4: a really great question for someone else.
37:21
Speaker 1: Something tells me she's a bit of a figurehead.
37:25
Speaker 5: Seems like it.
37:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that really does not have didn't have anything
37:29
Speaker 2: to do with the trade last night. But I've never
37:33
Speaker 2: in my entire life heard a general manager say, you
37:36
Speaker 2: know what, it's been a.
37:38
Speaker 1: Really long hour and I don't really know why we
37:44
Speaker 1: made the trade.
37:45
Speaker 2: Or who it is we got in return, or the
37:49
Speaker 2: player that we gave up.
37:50
Speaker 4: Imagine if John Schneider had given answers like that, If
37:54
Speaker 4: you could just.
37:54
Speaker 2: Let me get a good night's sleep clear my head,
37:58
Speaker 2: I might have a better answer for you the morning.
38:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll come up with answers to the questions I
38:02
Speaker 4: should have been prepared to answer, because I'm obviously going
38:05
Speaker 4: to be asked about them.
38:07
Speaker 2: To the Storm's credit, they were really excited about getting Johnson.
38:10
Speaker 2: So uh, it's I don't know, I don't know what
38:14
Speaker 2: how it works. I really don't know how it works.
38:16
Speaker 2: But it just does feel like the Storm had a
38:19
Speaker 2: bonanza of a draft night last night. Yeah, and it
38:22
Speaker 2: felt like Draftmas really did benefit from a really good
38:27
Speaker 2: televised Draftmas party last night.
38:29
Speaker 5: I definitely agree, and I this pains me to say.
38:31
Speaker 4: I also have to say thank you to UCLA for
38:34
Speaker 4: showing up so well during the Draftmas party.
38:36
Speaker 5: I mean, five of their girls drafted in the first
38:39
Speaker 5: fifteen Mm hmmm, Hey, that's all I can say nice
38:41
Speaker 5: about them?
38:43
Speaker 2: Well, national champion all almost put all right headlines next
38:46
Speaker 2: plus Rob rang will join us. Hopefully you won't answer
38:49
Speaker 2: any of my questions. With you know what, if you
38:51
Speaker 2: could give me to the morning, I'm really tired. I'd
38:54
Speaker 2: like to think about it before I talk about other
38:57
Speaker 2: human beings.
38:58
Speaker 5: It's the weirdest answer I've ever heard.
39:00
Speaker 1: Is it not so weird? Alright? Headlines next kJ R
