- 0:36Speaker 2: hat today.
- 0:37Speaker 4: Y'all have a vest? Is that a vest too?
- 0:39Speaker 2: A little vest? Yeah? Yeah? What do you think?
- 0:41Speaker 4: Look really good?
- 0:42Speaker 2: What do you think of the ensemble? Give me your
- 0:44Speaker 2: honest feedback? Uh?
- 0:46Speaker 4: For a Tuesday, I feel like it's a it's a
- 0:48Speaker 4: nine point two. Wow, you're really out there.
- 0:51Speaker 2: I've never scored above a four point seven with you either, have.
- 0:54Speaker 4: I I'm really careful what I want to say back
- 0:57Speaker 4: to I'm worried that like you're wearing like some cargo
- 1:00Speaker 4: shorts and flip flops with it, and I can't see
- 1:02Speaker 4: that part of the screen. So I'm just gonna really
- 1:04Speaker 4: judge from like the collar line up and that gets
- 1:07Speaker 4: a nine point two.
- 1:09Speaker 2: You will be actually surprised to know that I have
- 1:12Speaker 2: a flattering surrong on underneath. Thank got it's radio and
- 1:19Speaker 2: some birkin stocks.
- 1:21Speaker 3: He looks super comfy though, and.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Some you know, high black socks. You know that's the
- 1:26Speaker 2: ensemble beneath. Yeah, yeah, I like it. Well, good to
- 1:30Speaker 2: see you. Ryan Heally is with us a former Mariner
- 1:34Speaker 2: now with Mariner's Television of course, and every Tuesday at
- 1:37Speaker 2: nine o'clock we talked some Mariner baseball with our guy
- 1:41Speaker 2: Ryan Healy. So great to see you, and it's great
- 1:43Speaker 2: to have you on coming off a nice win like
- 1:47Speaker 2: that when Kyle hits a grand slam and George Pitch
- 1:50Speaker 2: is great and the bullpen decision that was made you
- 1:55Speaker 2: ended up not paying for it because you blew open
- 1:58Speaker 2: the game and the bottom of the seven. So there
- 2:00Speaker 2: are a lot of things to discuss, and most of
- 2:02Speaker 2: them positive. What do you think Cal's grand slam might
- 2:06Speaker 2: have done for him last night?
- 2:09Speaker 4: Well, if you watched his postgame interview, it definitely didn't
- 2:12Speaker 4: give him more facial expressions or you know, volume changes
- 2:17Speaker 4: in his voice, like he's just so even keeled, and
- 2:20Speaker 4: even when he's run the bases, he's not fist pump,
- 2:23Speaker 4: and he's not pounding his chest, he's not doing all
- 2:25Speaker 4: these things. I almost felt like the team was more
- 2:28Speaker 4: excited for him than Cal was excited for himself. And
- 2:31Speaker 4: I believe it's because Cal has that internal expectation of himself,
- 2:36Speaker 4: like that's that's my job, that's what i'm that's what
- 2:38Speaker 4: I do, that's what I've done my whole career, That's
- 2:40Speaker 4: what I'm supposed to do, and I'm gonna start doing
- 2:41Speaker 4: that more. At least that's what we're all watching and
- 2:43Speaker 4: hoping for. But it was the moment where the game
- 2:46Speaker 4: is essentially challenging you to a duel where you intentionally
- 2:50Speaker 4: walked on cans On in front of you to load
- 2:51Speaker 4: the bases to get to the ranning, you know, runner
- 2:54Speaker 4: up MVP, And that's something as a hitter that you
- 2:57Speaker 4: take so personally, and all of a sudden, the opposing
- 3:01Speaker 4: dugout and the opposing manager that made that decision becomes
- 3:04Speaker 4: your arch nemesis and you do everything in your power
- 3:06Speaker 4: to make sure you prove him wrong. And hence why
- 3:09Speaker 4: he ambushed an oh well breaking ball that was over
- 3:12Speaker 4: the play, but I doubt cal was based off the swing.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Didn't look like Kyl was sitting on it. But for
- 3:16Speaker 4: him to go up there and say, I'm gonna make
- 3:18Speaker 4: a statement here, whether it was a grand slam or
- 3:20Speaker 4: a sack fly or you know, opportunity to score the run,
- 3:23Speaker 4: he did the best of the three, get the Rye
- 3:25Speaker 4: bread out, and it's definitely Graham's the lobby Timeeah.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, when you're struggling as much as he is,
- 3:31Speaker 2: and you're also even though you don't have a C
- 3:34Speaker 2: on your jersey, I mean, he's kind of considered the leader,
- 3:37Speaker 2: the captain of the team. But how difficult is it
- 3:40Speaker 2: to take on captain responsibilities when you feel like you're
- 3:46Speaker 2: not pulling your own weight?
- 3:48Speaker 4: Very uh And I've never been in the situation at
- 3:52Speaker 4: the aging level the Cow's been in regard to that
- 3:54Speaker 4: type of leader, but in different levels, definitely have been
- 3:57Speaker 4: that that caliber of player and leadership expectations. And I
- 4:01Speaker 4: think that if we relate this, so let's just say
- 4:05Speaker 4: a husband and a father. If you feel like you
- 4:07Speaker 4: are doing terrible at work or you just lost your job,
- 4:11Speaker 4: it's hard to come home and fulfill the responsibilities that
- 4:14Speaker 4: ultimately matter more of being a great husband and a
- 4:16Speaker 4: great father because you feel less than internally, you don't
- 4:20Speaker 4: feel like you are worthy of that leadership capability. So
- 4:23Speaker 4: if you're unable to lead yourself and have some symmetry
- 4:26Speaker 4: and cohesion between the other facets of your life, it's
- 4:29Speaker 4: hard to know execute on that. And that's not to
- 4:31Speaker 4: say that Cal hasn't had the effort, you know, moving
- 4:33Speaker 4: forward of being that leader, but I'm sure the day
- 4:36Speaker 4: to day responsibilities, it's hard to go walk up and
- 4:38Speaker 4: hold a guy accountable when you just punched out with
- 4:40Speaker 4: the bases loaded and you're bat into buck sixty. It's
- 4:42Speaker 4: really hard to look someone in the eye. And I
- 4:44Speaker 4: know Cal can still do it, and it's still doing
- 4:46Speaker 4: it from time to time, but I'm sure his awareness
- 4:49Speaker 4: of those moments isn't as high because he's in his
- 4:52Speaker 4: head circulating about what the last of bat was.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Well, let's take it a little bit further. Let's theorize
- 4:56Speaker 2: about something. Because this team has not look like it's
- 4:59Speaker 2: played all that cohesively, and Cal admitted as much after
- 5:03Speaker 2: the game last night. But when Cal can't be Cal
- 5:08Speaker 2: because he's still trying to figure out how to hit again,
- 5:12Speaker 2: and JP's been demoted from shortstop to third base and
- 5:16Speaker 2: doesn't really feel like he's got that bright of a future.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And Luis Castillo is piggybacking and probably has seen the
- 5:23Speaker 2: riding on the wall that I'm the sixth best starter
- 5:26Speaker 2: around these here parts. Those are your three leaders, Ryan,
- 5:30Speaker 2: does that maybe explain why this team has felt disjointed
- 5:34Speaker 2: this year? That when your three leaders aren't really they're
- 5:38Speaker 2: not exactly excelling, and so they're spending their time trying
- 5:43Speaker 2: to figure out how to contribute, stay in the lineup,
- 5:46Speaker 2: try to get going, versus doing leadership things that help
- 5:50Speaker 2: keep the entire train on the tracks.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Chuck, I've known you for close to a year up
- 5:57Speaker 4: to this point, and I want to commend you because
- 6:00Speaker 4: one of the best points that I've ever heard you make,
- 6:03Speaker 4: and you make a lot of good points, but that
- 6:05Speaker 4: is one of the most valid internal kind of interpretations
- 6:11Speaker 4: of what's going on with the Mariners that I've heard.
- 6:13Speaker 4: And I've thought of a little bit of that, but
- 6:16Speaker 4: not putting all the piecells together right there, and I
- 6:18Speaker 4: think that was a little bit mind blowing right there. Chuck,
- 6:20Speaker 4: well done, and I agree with you. I couldn't agree
- 6:25Speaker 4: more with you that you. Luis Castillo has been anointed
- 6:28Speaker 4: by all of the younger pitchers who have maybe had
- 6:30Speaker 4: more success in him this season as being the leader.
- 6:33Speaker 2: He's the rock.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Cal Raley obviously is the leader of that team as
- 6:36Speaker 4: in its attirety, and and JP has been the longest
- 6:40Speaker 4: tendered Mariner has been through a lot of cycles with this,
- 6:42Speaker 4: with this organization, all three of those players have dealt
- 6:45Speaker 4: with a ton of uncertainty or individual lack of consistent performance.
- 6:49Speaker 4: So there's a good chance that there's some disconnect between there,
- 6:52Speaker 4: and that's not by their fault. They are humans, they
- 6:54Speaker 4: are baseball players, and this game is really hard. The
- 6:56Speaker 4: timing of all three to go through it at the
- 6:59Speaker 4: same exact wain though, it's really unfortunate. And when I
- 7:02Speaker 4: think back about the Mariners when spring training started, I
- 7:05Speaker 4: remember being on site in Peoria early on a camp,
- 7:09Speaker 4: and then I was on site at the end of camp,
- 7:11Speaker 4: and there wasn't a bad thing that you could talk
- 7:13Speaker 4: about with this team, with this organization, with the way
- 7:15Speaker 4: this front office has crafted this lineup and this roster,
- 7:19Speaker 4: and now as the season goes on, everything is kind
- 7:21Speaker 4: of poking its ugly head up, like, oh my gosh,
- 7:23Speaker 4: how are so many things going wrong or potentially going right,
- 7:26Speaker 4: all in the same breath, and this team is still
- 7:28Speaker 4: flirting with five hundred. I think you just hit the
- 7:31Speaker 4: nail on the head of A reason why some of
- 7:32Speaker 4: that consistency hasn't shown up is because the leaders are
- 7:36Speaker 4: dealing with so much uncertainty individually that it's hard to
- 7:39Speaker 4: bring the group together on a daily basis.
- 7:42Speaker 2: It's such a crazy difficult game. I mean, I want
- 7:45Speaker 2: to believe that in the last two and a half
- 7:47Speaker 2: days that maybe it got fixed, But I'm also thinking
- 7:51Speaker 2: about who your opponents are. You're not exactly beating the
- 7:53Speaker 2: best in the league these last two and a half days,
- 7:56Speaker 2: And I'm thinking back.
- 7:57Speaker 4: It didn't in June.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Uh yeah, true, And thinking back to that Saturday where
- 8:01Speaker 2: I mean, the it felt like the season was dead
- 8:05Speaker 2: and Cole Young hits that three run homer and it
- 8:08Speaker 2: resurrects like everybody's okay, maybe we got something going. And
- 8:12Speaker 2: since that time, all you've done is won. So can
- 8:16Speaker 2: I can anyone listening? Because baseball so hard, but can
- 8:21Speaker 2: we give ourselves a little bit this morning to thinking
- 8:24Speaker 2: that maybe it is on the right track.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Cole's postgame press conference last night, I think gave a
- 8:30Speaker 4: behind the curtains look at to what this team is evaluating.
- 8:34Speaker 4: And I know Dan Wilson talked a lot about wanting
- 8:36Speaker 4: this team to come back from the All Star Break
- 8:37Speaker 4: with energy and playing with that passion and you know,
- 8:41Speaker 4: doing the little things.
- 8:41Speaker 2: The right way.
- 8:42Speaker 4: And then Game one happens of the second half and
- 8:44Speaker 4: everyone goes, oh, no, here we go again. And I
- 8:46Speaker 4: say that confidently because I had that same thought halfway
- 8:49Speaker 4: through Game two against the Giants are thinking the same thing.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Logan web is in cruise control. And then Cole Young
- 8:54Speaker 4: shows up with a two out, three run home run
- 8:57Speaker 4: that all of a sudden gave not just that team,
- 8:59Speaker 4: but That's stadium and that the fan base life, including myself,
- 9:04Speaker 4: and they've been able to capitalize on some of that momentum.
- 9:06Speaker 4: And even last night, like the first half of the
- 9:08Speaker 4: game was a dismal offensive performance by both sides and
- 9:11Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, it blows open and the
- 9:12Speaker 4: eight to nothing score looks like it was out of
- 9:14Speaker 4: reach the whole time, but it wasn't so for me.
- 9:17Speaker 4: I don't get my helpes up much for the future
- 9:19Speaker 4: and I guess if I'm speaking to the Mariners' fan
- 9:22Speaker 4: base here, the future is irrelevant for this club. The
- 9:25Speaker 4: next ten days are going to be really valuable for
- 9:28Speaker 4: Major League Baseball and the Mariners of what trades happened.
- 9:31Speaker 4: And I think the way that the Mariners team performs
- 9:33Speaker 4: will dictate what direction the Mariners go with their their
- 9:37Speaker 4: trades and their moves or the deadline. But this is
- 9:39Speaker 4: not a team that's out of it. This is not
- 9:41Speaker 4: a team that's been out of it this entire season long.
- 9:43Speaker 4: This is just a team that hasn't played up to
- 9:45Speaker 4: their expectations, and looking at the future is not going
- 9:47Speaker 4: to help them stay more present and execute what they
- 9:49Speaker 4: need to today against a really good arm and Chase
- 9:51Speaker 4: Burns day.
- 9:51Speaker 2: To time, the old day, Dad time. That's the only way.
- 9:54Speaker 4: You sixty sixty one of these things left.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, right. He is with us, former Mariner
- 10:00Speaker 2: now with the Mariners TV, and we love having them
- 10:03Speaker 2: on every Tuesday to talk to Mariners Baseball here at
- 10:06Speaker 2: nine o'clock. And so Logan Gilbert. Yesterday. I don't know
- 10:12Speaker 2: if you've heard the dirt, but on Monday I called
- 10:18Speaker 2: for a managerial change. I went that far. I went
- 10:22Speaker 2: that far. Feel free to chastise me.
- 10:24Speaker 4: A series when you wanted a managerial change. Huh.
- 10:26Speaker 2: I did what I saw. The despondency that I saw
- 10:31Speaker 2: on the looks of players faces Friday night when the
- 10:34Speaker 2: game was over, it just was like, I don't know,
- 10:37Speaker 2: I don't know if Dan's reaching them. But Logan Gilbert
- 10:40Speaker 2: did defend Dan yesterday on our airwaves. I want you
- 10:43Speaker 2: to listen to it and tell me what you think.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Here's Logan on with Softy talking about people like me
- 10:49Speaker 2: should shut our traps when it.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Comes to dat.
- 10:51Speaker 5: I always try to be pretty nice, but like if
- 10:54Speaker 5: people have I ever heard people say that, that's probably
- 10:56Speaker 5: when I would get fired up. I think I think
- 10:59Speaker 5: days that people would ever say that. Dan's one of
- 11:01Speaker 5: the best people I've ever met. I think he's amazing
- 11:04Speaker 5: at his job and what he does and the way
- 11:06Speaker 5: he gets us going, Like you know, nobody outside of
- 11:09Speaker 5: here knows what it's like in a locker room with him.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Only the players do. And I think every single one
- 11:14Speaker 5: of us would go to bat for him. So he's
- 11:16Speaker 5: the man. I love playing under him, and I hope
- 11:18Speaker 5: he stays here forever.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Weget gil defending his manager yesterday. What do you make
- 11:22Speaker 2: of that?
- 11:24Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't call you out personally by name.
- 11:28Speaker 4: That's that's a good sign. And essentially, since you're not
- 11:30Speaker 4: a you're not that far away from the stadium, and
- 11:32Speaker 4: he could come down to the station if he really
- 11:33Speaker 4: wanted to.
- 11:34Speaker 2: But I woul thought the last guy that would try
- 11:36Speaker 2: to fight and he would be Logan Gilbert.
- 11:38Speaker 4: I'll send him the address, I know exactly where it's at.
- 11:40Speaker 4: He can combine you. But I think that's so special.
- 11:45Speaker 4: And I've been on teams where players wouldn't say those
- 11:48Speaker 4: exact words about managers, and the fact that he's willing to,
- 11:53Speaker 4: I think that just shows the connection that's happening behind
- 11:56Speaker 4: the walls that none of the fans and most of
- 11:58Speaker 4: the media never sees the conversations. And if you really
- 12:01Speaker 4: think about it, Chuck, there's one situation this entire season
- 12:06Speaker 4: where it has come outside of the locker room where
- 12:10Speaker 4: people were frustrated with the lack of communication that Dan
- 12:12Speaker 4: Wilson was providing, and that was when the piggyback first started.
- 12:16Speaker 4: That's the only time where there's been public criticism or
- 12:20Speaker 4: frustration demonstrated by the players within these walls. The rest
- 12:25Speaker 4: of it, it's just the media, it's just the fans,
- 12:28Speaker 4: it's people on social media wanting to get rid of
- 12:31Speaker 4: Dan Wilson because they think he's the one at fall
- 12:34Speaker 4: Where I think, what you've actually done on this call today, Chuck,
- 12:36Speaker 4: is you've actually labeled a couple real reasons why this
- 12:40Speaker 4: team is having a hard time being consistent, and for
- 12:43Speaker 4: the first time, Dan Wilson is on the top of
- 12:45Speaker 4: the list.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Yeah, And part of my frustration with him. I have
- 12:49Speaker 2: not agreed with his bullpen decisions. I've not agreed with
- 12:53Speaker 2: his bench usage. And does I mean that he's wrong
- 12:56Speaker 2: every time? And I'm certainly not laying all the blame
- 12:58Speaker 2: at his feet. I just feel like this team's underachieved
- 13:02Speaker 2: to this point in the season. And who else would
- 13:05Speaker 2: I hold ultimately responsible when I believe in the roster.
- 13:08Speaker 2: If I didn't believe in the roster, I'd blame the
- 13:10Speaker 2: people above him. My problem is why are we not
- 13:13Speaker 2: getting more out of this roster? But last night was
- 13:16Speaker 2: an example of it. How do you take George Kirby
- 13:20Speaker 2: out after six innings when he's pitching that well and
- 13:23Speaker 2: he's coming off rest. He used it as a reason
- 13:26Speaker 2: to take him out. He hasn't pitched in a while.
- 13:29Speaker 2: We're going to take him out because we feel really
- 13:31Speaker 2: good after eighty pitches, removing him on a night where
- 13:36Speaker 2: we know we don't have all the leverage pieces of
- 13:39Speaker 2: our bullpen at our at our fingertips because they pitched
- 13:43Speaker 2: on back to back night. So it's stuff like that.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Can you explain why you would take George Kirby out
- 13:49Speaker 2: last night at all?
- 13:51Speaker 4: Yes, I'll finish with that question, but I want to
- 13:54Speaker 4: start with this. The biggest difference between what Dan's job,
- 13:58Speaker 4: the front office job is compare to the media, the
- 14:01Speaker 4: manager and the front officer making decisions off of percentages,
- 14:06Speaker 4: a base off of what different pitch are doing for
- 14:07Speaker 4: situations without knowing what the results can be or what
- 14:10Speaker 4: the performance will be of that picture. The media is
- 14:13Speaker 4: strictly judging the decisions and then the performance and results
- 14:17Speaker 4: of the circumstance that that picture or manager put him in.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Dan has zero control of what happens on the baseball
- 14:24Speaker 4: field the minute he walks off it. He can decide
- 14:26Speaker 4: what picture comes in, but guess what that decision was
- 14:29Speaker 4: made before the game ever started, based off of who
- 14:32Speaker 4: is available, what circumstances of situations call for a specific
- 14:35Speaker 4: type of arm. He is this is the worst word
- 14:39Speaker 4: to use, but he's not guessing, but he is using
- 14:42Speaker 4: his kind of system within the organization to make those
- 14:46Speaker 4: decisions and then the results happen. So that's out of
- 14:49Speaker 4: his control of some reguards, plus all the injuries that
- 14:51Speaker 4: have happened, and then the bench that's underperformed at least
- 14:54Speaker 4: on the right handed side of the batter's box or
- 14:55Speaker 4: the plate. So I'm gonna finish on that. George Kirby,
- 14:59Speaker 4: the big reason why I believe he came out of
- 15:01Speaker 4: the game after eighty pitches last night is the exact
- 15:03Speaker 4: reason why we saw Julio come out of the game
- 15:06Speaker 4: late in the game. I think I don't know what
- 15:08Speaker 4: happened to Julio, so I'm not gonna speculate what the
- 15:09Speaker 4: injury was, but there's something that happened to him. Why
- 15:12Speaker 4: because he's had a ton of rest and he didn't
- 15:15Speaker 4: going to rehab assignment. He's been hanging out for the
- 15:17Speaker 4: last ten, you know plus days and then went back
- 15:20Speaker 4: to back games real quick. So late in the game
- 15:22Speaker 4: last night, a little bit of fatigu kind of run
- 15:24Speaker 4: out of ball hard. All of a sudden something happens.
- 15:26Speaker 4: I don't know what yet, we'll find out. That's the
- 15:28Speaker 4: exact reason why George Kirby comes out of the game.
- 15:30Speaker 4: He had a ton of rest. Why push him from
- 15:33Speaker 4: not throwing for X amount of days to now go
- 15:35Speaker 4: one hundred plus. Yes he was grooving, Yes he looked great,
- 15:38Speaker 4: but also like he he did his job. He threw
- 15:42Speaker 4: six short, six scoreless. It looked tremendous, was using both
- 15:46Speaker 4: sides of the plate and kept that offense.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Sure, I'd love to have see him back out there
- 15:49Speaker 4: in the seventh, but that wasn't decision that they made.
- 15:52Speaker 4: They felt like that was good for what they needed,
- 15:54Speaker 4: and they move on to the bullpen, and this time
- 15:56Speaker 4: it all worked out.
- 15:57Speaker 2: I want to go back to what you said in
- 15:59Speaker 2: the first half of that response, because I wholly agree
- 16:02Speaker 2: with you and then wholly disagree with you all on
- 16:04Speaker 2: a couple of those things, like number one, I'm with you.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Like to me, I think media and I try not
- 16:10Speaker 2: to be one of these members, are way too result oriented.
- 16:15Speaker 2: You're right, this is why I would take Dan Wilson out.
- 16:19Speaker 2: It's not that I think that he's not that he's
- 16:23Speaker 2: to blame for everything, But I think somebody else might
- 16:26Speaker 2: give you a better percentage chance of winning. And I'll
- 16:29Speaker 2: explain that because like ref Schneider, for example, I don't
- 16:32Speaker 2: blame Jerry Depoto for Rob Refschneider. This year, the most
- 16:36Speaker 2: recent evidence you had of Rob Refschneider was that he
- 16:39Speaker 2: crushes left handers. Six months later he can't hit them
- 16:43Speaker 2: at all. I don't blame the decision, but the result
- 16:47Speaker 2: obviously now has to be dealt with, So I'm with you.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I think way too many people in the media wait
- 16:54Speaker 2: for the result and then have an emotional response. I
- 16:57Speaker 2: really do try not to be that way, but when
- 17:01Speaker 2: it comes to Dan don't. I don't agree with the
- 17:05Speaker 2: decisions a lot of the time going into the situation.
- 17:09Speaker 2: That's the problem that I have with it. Is like
- 17:13Speaker 2: last night, for example, I don't know how you even
- 17:16Speaker 2: justify it. I mean, I thought the idea of an
- 17:19Speaker 2: all Star break was to make people give them rest
- 17:22Speaker 2: so they would be stronger coming out of the break,
- 17:25Speaker 2: not weaker and more fragile. So I really do believe. Yeah,
- 17:31Speaker 2: I'm with you. This game is about percentages, and it's
- 17:34Speaker 2: from all angles. Whether you're signing a free agent, or
- 17:36Speaker 2: making a pitching decision, or making a pinch hitting decision.
- 17:39Speaker 2: A lot goes into that and what goes into the decision.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Sometimes the result is taken out of your hands and
- 17:45Speaker 2: you still made a good decision. But I have really
- 17:47Speaker 2: had a problem with the decisions in the moment to
- 17:51Speaker 2: bring in said pitcher for said situation, And so I
- 17:57Speaker 2: really can I can honestly say that I'm not waiting
- 18:01Speaker 2: to see the result.
- 18:02Speaker 4: I'll just put it that way, which I understand. Yeah,
- 18:06Speaker 4: who are you alluding to being more fragile and weaker
- 18:09Speaker 4: after the second half of your saying George George.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Think that was George's decision to come out of the game. No,
- 18:15Speaker 4: I know, I think.
- 18:16Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying they treated him like he was
- 18:19Speaker 2: weaker and more fragile coming out of the break. I
- 18:22Speaker 2: thought the idea of getting a break was so you
- 18:24Speaker 2: could replenish your strength five days off. Yeah, but it
- 18:29Speaker 2: doesn't work like that.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Like if you go to the gym and you max
- 18:33Speaker 4: out on bench and then you don't go to the
- 18:35Speaker 4: gym for let's just say ten days, and you go
- 18:37Speaker 4: back to the gym, do you think your max bench
- 18:40Speaker 4: is going to increase or decrease from the last time
- 18:41Speaker 4: you just did it.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna max out of one thirty five the
- 18:45Speaker 2: same way I did before.
- 18:47Speaker 4: So for me, like, if you're not coming back after
- 18:50Speaker 4: a little bit of rest stronger, Like, I don't think
- 18:52Speaker 4: that analogy. I don't think that shoe fits not in
- 18:55Speaker 4: the game of baseball, and especially not for pictures that
- 18:59Speaker 4: you can more about than being one hundred percent at
- 19:02Speaker 4: the end of September and through October than you do
- 19:05Speaker 4: for the very first start of the second half when
- 19:07Speaker 4: he literally just threw six shutout innings.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Okay, all right, you are good with Dan. Just to
- 19:13Speaker 2: kind of put a fine point on it, Yes, consider.
- 19:17Speaker 4: I have been a supporter of Dan from the jump.
- 19:20Speaker 4: I feel like most of my time spent on you know,
- 19:24Speaker 4: radio and talk shows is to defend Dan from the
- 19:27Speaker 4: player's perspective, from a former player that wishes he could
- 19:31Speaker 4: be in that clubhouse right now playing. I would love
- 19:34Speaker 4: to play for Dan Wilson.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Good, what do you feel about tonight? Because Stio versus Burns,
- 19:38Speaker 2: he already alluded to how good he is.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, Burns is really good. The nice piece that
- 19:44Speaker 4: he's a right handed pitcher. I was a little nervous
- 19:46Speaker 4: about the left handed pitcher Max a matchup last night,
- 19:49Speaker 4: but obviously we saw a completely different lineup thrown out there,
- 19:52Speaker 4: some because of injuries, but also you know, a guy
- 19:54Speaker 4: like Victor Robo was coming out there getting four hits
- 19:56Speaker 4: that was electric. The base running he had, he brought
- 19:59Speaker 4: some energy, he brought some excitement. Uh, Chase Burns is
- 20:02Speaker 4: going to be a challenge. I'd like to see the
- 20:06Speaker 4: best version of Luis Castillo tonight, and I think throwing
- 20:09Speaker 4: against his former team, he's gonna have some familiar faces
- 20:12Speaker 4: in there as well, former teammates. Suarez going to see
- 20:16Speaker 4: some Gina's going to see some really fast fastballs tonight.
- 20:19Speaker 4: I'll tell you that much. You always throw harder against
- 20:20Speaker 4: your buddies. I think it's gonna be a good matchup
- 20:23Speaker 4: and might be a little bit similar to last night's
- 20:26Speaker 4: where maybe it's a little bit quiet in the first
- 20:27Speaker 4: four or five innings and whoever gets the bullpen first
- 20:30Speaker 4: can blow it open.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Do you have a trade guy circled? Do you have somebody?
- 20:34Speaker 2: I mean, you brought up the trade deadline earlier, and
- 20:36Speaker 2: I didn't mean to just blow over it. We were
- 20:38Speaker 2: just talking about so many other things. Do you have
- 20:40Speaker 2: a guy had bigger fish to fry.
- 20:43Speaker 4: I saw a trade suggestion last night for the first
- 20:47Speaker 4: time where it actually showed Mason Miller potentially coming over
- 20:53Speaker 4: to Seattle and they I think the suggestion even parlayed
- 20:57Speaker 4: it with Frando Tatis. I don't know where he fits
- 20:58Speaker 4: in the equation. Maybe it's a I hated right fielder.
- 21:00Speaker 4: But like I saw that, I'm like, wow, that looks
- 21:03Speaker 4: really good. Is that even possible? Who do I like,
- 21:06Speaker 4: was there an app or a platform or something where
- 21:08Speaker 4: I can put in like the trade value for what
- 21:11Speaker 4: looks like gets fair, like a fantasy football league or something.
- 21:15Speaker 4: But listen, that stuff so above my head. I think
- 21:18Speaker 4: the marritor has been very clear what they need or
- 21:19Speaker 4: right hated bat and a back end reliever. If you
- 21:23Speaker 4: get Bason Miller, you pretty much get the best one
- 21:25Speaker 4: on the market. So yeah, that was one that jumped
- 21:27Speaker 4: out to me.
- 21:27Speaker 2: That's interesting. Yeah, all right, good session, Thank you sir.
- 21:30Speaker 2: We appreciate it. I appreciate you all the compliment, and
- 21:33Speaker 2: I also appreciate the pushback. Yeah, you know, Ryan Heay's

- 22:24Speaker 2: we have a segment of OPQ. We're getting ready for
- 22:27Speaker 2: training camp or coverage begins on Monday. Seahawks will be
- 22:31Speaker 2: doing some form of practice this weekend. So it's here.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Football season is here, believe it or not. Are you
- 22:38Speaker 2: e Ben ready for that? Are you ready for that?
- 22:40Speaker 6: I don't know I think so, but I thanks when
- 22:44Speaker 6: you're world champs. It does help, but I also am
- 22:47Speaker 6: like I just kind of want to enjoy that longer,
- 22:51Speaker 6: and it feels like we just want it now we're
- 22:53Speaker 6: gonna have to go defend it.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, yeah, but.
- 22:58Speaker 3: I'm ready to see I love you, That's what excited.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I mean, things have been so busy. Usually people get
- 23:02Speaker 2: excited because there's some sort of lull. We've been so busy.
- 23:05Speaker 2: There's just no shortage of topics and we're and we're
- 23:09Speaker 2: I mean, think about this show today. I haven't even
- 23:11Speaker 2: talked about Julio today. Yeah, I know, he left the
- 23:14Speaker 2: game and with another injury. Again apparently every time he
- 23:17Speaker 2: gets hit by a ball he gets hurt. And so
- 23:20Speaker 2: we haven't even talked about it because there'm in so
- 23:22Speaker 2: many other fat, juicy topics to discuss. And now we're
- 23:25Speaker 2: going to layer the King on top of this, A
- 23:28Speaker 2: super Bowl champion getting ready to fend its crown, starting
- 23:30Speaker 2: training camp, and we'll be starting our coverage on Monday.
- 23:34Speaker 2: It seems like a little too much.
- 23:37Speaker 6: It does lot a lot, But just like we talked
- 23:39Speaker 6: about yesterday, right, how much do we love fall?
- 23:42Speaker 2: Oh?
- 23:43Speaker 6: Yeah, and so I start I've already had my initial
- 23:45Speaker 6: thoughts of like, ooh, I could be ready for fall,
- 23:48Speaker 6: and then I slowed myself down. I was like, no, no, no,
- 23:50Speaker 6: we got all summer. We got to enjoy this while
- 23:53Speaker 6: it's here. Yeah, And so I think I backed myself
- 23:56Speaker 6: off of it. Whereas if I start getting excited about
- 23:58Speaker 6: football season, that means I go full fall.
- 24:01Speaker 2: No, I see, all right, well maybe maybe just put
- 24:04Speaker 2: the limits. Yeah, you're exciting.
- 24:06Speaker 3: I'm excited for training camp?
- 24:07Speaker 4: All right.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about other people's quarterbacks here. Let's talk
- 24:11Speaker 2: about Baker Mayfield, who apparently is in contract negotiations with
- 24:15Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now, and they want to
- 24:20Speaker 2: make him the face of their franchise. They believe they
- 24:24Speaker 2: can win a Super Bowl with him going forward. He
- 24:27Speaker 2: didn't quite win over Rams fans or Panthers fans, and
- 24:32Speaker 2: boy sure fell out a favor fast with those stupid
- 24:35Speaker 2: Browns fans. Gosh, you people are stupid, man. It's unbelievable.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Who you really want to be your quarterbacks when you
- 24:42Speaker 2: actually have a good one and you chase him out
- 24:44Speaker 2: of town because he's playing hurt. It's I is it
- 24:47Speaker 2: anything more dumb than a Cleveland Browns fan.
- 24:50Speaker 6: Well, and I can't say that in general, but I
- 24:52Speaker 6: can't say as far as they went with the Baker
- 24:54Speaker 6: Mayfield situation. I mean, the guy's shoulder was like halfway
- 24:58Speaker 6: off and he's trying to play and tough it out.
- 25:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and you write him off so that you're can
- 25:02Speaker 2: have Deshaun Watson.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Ooh, that works out really well. And so yeah, that
- 25:05Speaker 3: part they are really stupid.
- 25:06Speaker 2: And I realized the execu the owner and the executives
- 25:09Speaker 2: and all those then they had a hand in the signing.
- 25:11Speaker 3: But they welcomed Deshaun Watson with open.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Arms, and Johnny Manziel and every other piece of dung
- 25:17Speaker 2: that ever put on a Brown uniform. So anyway, I
- 25:21Speaker 2: wasn't even planning on discussing that. But he's found a home.
- 25:25Speaker 2: You would think that he would love having been embraced
- 25:27Speaker 2: like he's been in Tampa Bay. And he's refound success
- 25:30Speaker 2: both the aw the and the wind column. Statistically, he's
- 25:34Speaker 2: re established himself not as one of the best quarterbacks
- 25:37Speaker 2: in the NFL, he'll never be that, but one of
- 25:39Speaker 2: the better quarterbacks in the National Football League. But here
- 25:42Speaker 2: he is in this negotiation, and this is puzzling to me,
- 25:46Speaker 2: apparently he's asking for fifty million a year. It's not
- 25:48Speaker 2: Dak Prescott money, but he wants to be that fifty
- 25:52Speaker 2: that fifty million dollar barrier. Why Baker, I mean your
- 25:58Speaker 2: path of all people, shouldn't you know? Why don't you
- 26:02Speaker 2: You've shared the same team and you were both backups
- 26:05Speaker 2: at Carolina at the same time. Look what Sam Donald
- 26:09Speaker 2: did when he just took a step back from his
- 26:12Speaker 2: own ego and said I'd like to be on a
- 26:14Speaker 2: winner and took thirty three and a half million coming
- 26:18Speaker 2: off a really good year. And he's didn't sit there
- 26:21Speaker 2: and spend the entire offseason saying I need to be
- 26:24Speaker 2: paid fifty million dollars and maybe that time will come.
- 26:27Speaker 2: But then he's got a Super Bowl championship ring Jim
- 26:30Speaker 2: Donald earned it has refurbished all of his value because
- 26:36Speaker 2: not because of what he did in Minnesota, look at
- 26:38Speaker 2: how many doubters he had last year, but because he
- 26:42Speaker 2: took a reasonable, not a bad salary. Thirty three eight
- 26:46Speaker 2: million dollars a year is is good money. And so
- 26:51Speaker 2: he takes a reasonable salary and then doesn't make a
- 26:55Speaker 2: stink when he has a breakthrough year and wins the
- 26:58Speaker 2: Super Bowl Championship. Can we not learn from that? You
- 27:01Speaker 2: fools out there? I mean, if you're a Baker, wouldn't
- 27:05Speaker 2: you just say, hey, let's go forty.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Look, I'll take forty in the middle.
- 27:10Speaker 2: I'll keep a little bit of space, put a great
- 27:13Speaker 2: team around me. What Sam did, man, that looked an
- 27:16Speaker 2: awful lot of fun. I want to do that. We're
- 27:19Speaker 2: not that far away, And if I take fifty, I
- 27:22Speaker 2: might take us further away from that. If I take
- 27:25Speaker 2: forty thirty five, that probably moves as closer to where
- 27:30Speaker 2: we want to go. I just I don't know. I
- 27:33Speaker 2: don't know. I would think Baker and all of his
- 27:36Speaker 2: frustrations and the doors that have been slammed in his face,
- 27:39Speaker 2: and the having to rebuild his his stock in the
- 27:43Speaker 2: National Football League and having now rebuilt it, you would
- 27:47Speaker 2: think he'd be like, I'm just happy to be appreciated
- 27:50Speaker 2: playing football, being a millionaire, everything else. Why do you
- 27:55Speaker 2: have to compare yourself and your Wiener to all the
- 27:58Speaker 2: other expensive Wieners at your position in the National Football League.
- 28:02Speaker 3: I don't think I can answer the Willer comparison.
- 28:05Speaker 2: You can't answer the Wier.
- 28:07Speaker 3: I can't That one is to leave that up to you.
- 28:11Speaker 6: But I do think, I mean, I wonder if part
- 28:13Speaker 6: of it is is him, and obviously part of it
- 28:16Speaker 6: is his agent, but I wonder if part of it
- 28:17Speaker 6: is the fact, you know well of taken you to
- 28:19Speaker 6: the playoffs and I am, I've done my job, And
- 28:22Speaker 6: but I do agree. It's similar to I think Patrick
- 28:24Speaker 6: Mahomes took less money. Tom Brady took some less money
- 28:27Speaker 6: so they could have the weapons so they could win.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would why.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Would you want it to be an extended loca and
- 28:33Speaker 2: angry and then a disruption potentially, And he's already been
- 28:37Speaker 2: short with his answers, like, yeah, have your negotiation, but
- 28:41Speaker 2: I would make sure, like, you know what, guys, I
- 28:44Speaker 2: think I'm worth fifty, but let's win a super Bowl. Yeah,
- 28:48Speaker 2: give me, give me the forty two.
- 28:50Speaker 6: Yeah, let's meet in the middle here, and let's let's
- 28:52Speaker 6: go build a championship team. I mean, it's not like
- 28:56Speaker 6: when he's sixty, he's gonna sit there and go, oh,
- 29:00Speaker 6: only I had that extra ten year. You're going to
- 29:03Speaker 6: be look at a Super Bowl trophies and say, oh,
- 29:06Speaker 6: those look pretty good.
- 29:06Speaker 3: I gotta dust that one.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Or you're gonna be looking at an empty trophy kit.
- 29:10Speaker 2: You're gonna be looking at your heisman still and say, Man,
- 29:13Speaker 2: it's a nice to have had a Super Bowl ring,
- 29:15Speaker 2: wouldn't it. Wonder what I could have done differently? Let's talk.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Someone had told me quickly about Aaron Rodgers.
- 29:23Speaker 2: I think you doubt everything Aaron Rodgers does. Uh So,
- 29:27Speaker 2: what do you make of him mending fences with his
- 29:30Speaker 2: family this offseason, right before the season gets underway? What
- 29:35Speaker 2: what's your psychological read on that?
- 29:38Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's good because I think his
- 29:40Speaker 6: family was miserable. Was not miserable, but they were really
- 29:42Speaker 6: unhappy that he wouldn't talk to them. They didn't quite
- 29:44Speaker 6: understand what was going on. They had there was some
- 29:48Speaker 6: TV stuff that had been shown about them, and it
- 29:52Speaker 6: seemed like he was in the wrong in the situation.
- 29:56Speaker 6: I would at least assume when it's one person and
- 29:59Speaker 6: then the other four members of the family all get.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Along really well, but you're the.
- 30:02Speaker 6: One that's the outcast and you're the one that's a
- 30:05Speaker 6: little weird. So I think it shows growth for him,
- 30:10Speaker 6: which is it's about time.
- 30:12Speaker 2: I hope it's a great thing. I really do. I
- 30:14Speaker 2: do wonder and maybe this is unfair of me. I
- 30:18Speaker 2: do wonder like he knows this is his last year,
- 30:21Speaker 2: and so he would like to share that with his family,
- 30:24Speaker 2: and I think that's a good thing. Yet it might
- 30:27Speaker 2: also be a little selfish, like in that last year,
- 30:30Speaker 2: I don't want my family being distraction. I want them
- 30:32Speaker 2: to be there for me. And then if at the
- 30:35Speaker 2: end of the year he goes right back to his
- 30:37Speaker 2: old grudges, that would be I think, not productive. But
- 30:41Speaker 2: it does kind of sound like, Hey, this, I know
- 30:43Speaker 2: this is my last year. It would be nice that
- 30:46Speaker 2: if my family could share in this with me on
- 30:49Speaker 2: this journey as I'm getting ready to write this final chapter.
- 30:52Speaker 2: That's how I kind of read it.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and that is possible.
- 30:55Speaker 6: I was also thinking though, because now he's married and
- 30:58Speaker 6: he maybe wanting to start a fan of his own
- 31:00Speaker 6: and maybe his wife.
- 31:01Speaker 2: I wonder if the family gets to meet his wife.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Yeah right, Yeah, they have to.
- 31:06Speaker 6: They have to be invited to the cave where she
- 31:07Speaker 6: apparently lives. But I wonder if she hadn't played a
- 31:10Speaker 6: part in it and said, like, this is stupid that
- 31:12Speaker 6: you don't talk to them.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Go talk to them.
- 31:14Speaker 6: We're going to start a family of our own. Maybe
- 31:16Speaker 6: maybe she's pregnant in the cave.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, that's the thing. I mean, it's dangerous to speculate.
- 31:21Speaker 2: But that's why we talk about opik.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Yeah, what else are we supposed to do?
- 31:25Speaker 2: I know you, I know what you like to do
- 31:27Speaker 2: out there. You're down with opek.
- 31:29Speaker 3: I think she played a part in it.
- 31:30Speaker 6: They're about to start a family, and she wanted him
- 31:33Speaker 6: to mend his relationship with his.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Okay, very reckless of us. Yeah, we'll let it stand. Okay,
- 31:38Speaker 2: all right, one last thing next Sports Radio ninety three
- 31:40Speaker 2: point three kh A r F M. All right, final
- 31:48Speaker 2: segment of A very Busy Man. It was a busy
- 31:50Speaker 2: show today for me anyway.
- 31:52Speaker 3: It felt busy.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Yeah, still busy. You you were busy.
- 31:56Speaker 3: I felt busy.
- 31:57Speaker 2: You were busy.
- 31:58Speaker 3: I felt busy.
- 31:59Speaker 2: I was busy too.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Busy bees, look at us, just sharing a brain, a
- 32:05Speaker 3: b brain.
- 32:07Speaker 2: All right, let's close things out with one last thing.
- 32:10Speaker 2: What do you got?
- 32:10Speaker 6: Well, you know a lot of people think that radio
- 32:14Speaker 6: is just the crazy ones, and we do all sorts
- 32:16Speaker 6: of wonky things. But I'm here to tell you apparently
- 32:19Speaker 6: TV's crazier. Because Ryan Clark got laid off in the
- 32:22Speaker 6: middle of a show yesterday?
- 32:24Speaker 2: Is that not crazy?
- 32:25Speaker 3: In the middle of a show you couldn't wait? Was
- 32:27Speaker 3: it that bad? He couldn't finish the show?
- 32:29Speaker 2: Well, apparently it leaked out in the middle. He was
- 32:33Speaker 2: the only one whose name leaked. Oh, so what happened
- 32:37Speaker 2: was that the other three on the show, I think
- 32:40Speaker 2: it was Laura Rutledge, Mina Kimes and somebody else they
- 32:43Speaker 2: looked down at their phones and saw it, like on
- 32:46Speaker 2: their email, so they knew and he didn't.
- 32:50Speaker 3: He's oh, how awkward is that?
- 32:52Speaker 2: So they got to a commercial break and they didn't
- 32:55Speaker 2: have any choice. They went to him and said, hey,
- 32:58Speaker 2: you're off the show, come to my office.
- 33:01Speaker 3: I mean, also, though, be better ESPN. You're going to
- 33:04Speaker 3: have that leak out.
- 33:06Speaker 6: Yeah, that is terrible, and you put those his coworkers
- 33:09Speaker 6: in an awful position.
- 33:10Speaker 3: I saw it too.
- 33:10Speaker 6: It was a Carl Ravag, Tom Pelisaro, who.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Just I thought went to ESPN, Did he not?
- 33:17Speaker 6: Or because he was technically NFL network who was bought
- 33:20Speaker 6: by ESPN.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, Karl Ravage, That's what I saw.
- 33:25Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, thirty people total, but uh, Vanya Bell,
- 33:30Speaker 6: David Lloyd, Karl Ravich.
- 33:32Speaker 2: Oh Man, David Lloyd's been there a long time. Yeah,
- 33:35Speaker 2: Clark was the first one to leak. I hadn't heard
- 33:37Speaker 2: any of these other ones. Yeah, Clark and Ravage. Yeah.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Charles Sara is also crazy because he just you're right,
- 33:44Speaker 2: he just.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Got Yeah, Charles Davis as well.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Man Pela Sarah, I didn't even know he rapaports the
- 33:52Speaker 2: one that did. They both go.
- 33:53Speaker 6: They both both bought network, right, so they both Yeah,
- 33:58Speaker 6: so they were both part of esp again.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Yeah. See there's by the way, there's a little bit
- 34:02Speaker 2: of a rub between like Adam Schefter and all those
- 34:05Speaker 2: NFL network guys, like they don't like each other very much.
- 34:09Speaker 2: So my guess is when NFL Network, if there was
- 34:13Speaker 2: some sort of absorption that Adam Schefter might have even
- 34:17Speaker 2: weighed in on that.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Probably I'm speaking out of maybe he was the leaker.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Maybe maybe have the first on the show. That's the
- 34:25Speaker 2: other guy.
- 34:25Speaker 3: That was the other guy. He probably leaked it out
- 34:27Speaker 3: to them.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Way funny. He was breaking it because he has to
- 34:30Speaker 2: break the story he has. He feels compelled to break
- 34:34Speaker 2: every story, and he broke the story right there in
- 34:37Speaker 2: the middle of the show. Bryan Clark has fired from
- 34:39Speaker 2: the ESPN as soon as he's done talking.
- 34:41Speaker 6: And then when he was done, he looked at his
- 34:43Speaker 6: phone and got his eyes all big, like I just
- 34:45Speaker 6: got the same info that they got, right.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mean to laugh. I don't. I don't
- 34:53Speaker 2: celebrate things like.
- 34:54Speaker 3: That, not at all.
- 34:54Speaker 6: But it would be very Adam Schefter to have broken
- 34:57Speaker 6: the news about it.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't even know what is the reason for
- 35:01Speaker 2: all of these like mass layoffs. You know, you're making
- 35:04Speaker 2: money hand over fist. What if the hell was happening?
- 35:07Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Man couldn't tell you.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Maybe it's just a refurbishing of sorts.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Refurbishing, that's how they're gonna phrase it.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm gonna close with this because we
- 35:17Speaker 2: didn't mention it much during the course of the show.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Here today we are talking about so many other things
- 35:22Speaker 2: Mariner related. We had a lot of Mariner topics and
- 35:24Speaker 2: never really got to Julio. But he left another game.
- 35:29Speaker 2: I mean, when the play went down, I saw because
- 35:35Speaker 2: I had this unique ability, and I truly believe it's unique.
- 35:40Speaker 2: I see injuries when they happened immediately by and I
- 35:44Speaker 2: can tell what's wrong. Usually while they're all speculating about, well,
- 35:49Speaker 2: what do you think it is? Do you think it's
- 35:51Speaker 2: his hip? What do you think it is? Did he
- 35:53Speaker 2: bruises Pelvis. I'm sitting there yelling it's his me. Yeah.
- 35:58Speaker 3: You know at the television when it's a hamstring every time.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and Palmer knows their hamstrings. So I thought it
- 36:04Speaker 2: was a hamstring, like they weren't talking about it. But
- 36:08Speaker 2: you could see as he ran across for a space,
- 36:10Speaker 2: he grabbed to the back right underneath his butt on
- 36:14Speaker 2: the left side, and I'm like, good night, we just
- 36:16Speaker 2: got him back, and now he's gonna have an upper
- 36:20Speaker 2: hamstring pull yep. And so then he starts walking back
- 36:25Speaker 2: and they show the review and then you see that
- 36:28Speaker 2: Elie dela Cruz's throw hit him in the buttock. Sure,
- 36:32Speaker 2: I got struck in the buttock. And so at that
- 36:35Speaker 2: point I'm like, oh, good thank goodness, it's not a
- 36:37Speaker 2: ham shout.
- 36:37Speaker 3: That's why he grabbed his butt. Yeah, that's where he
- 36:39Speaker 3: got hit.
- 36:40Speaker 2: He just grabbed. I mean that would hurt. Elie dela
- 36:42Speaker 2: Cruz throws one hundred miles per hour, so it would
- 36:44Speaker 2: hurt to get hit in the buttock with an Elied
- 36:46Speaker 2: de la Cruz throw, So I'm like, okay, good, and
- 36:49Speaker 2: then they come back from the break and he's gone,
- 36:51Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, So did he hurt his hamstring?
- 36:54Speaker 1: Then?
- 36:55Speaker 2: Was that a hamstring grab? Because I can't imagine that
- 36:58Speaker 2: he would come out of a game after getting hit
- 37:01Speaker 2: in the butt talk, it's not like the fleshiest, mediest
- 37:06Speaker 2: part of anyone's body.
- 37:08Speaker 3: I would agree.
- 37:09Speaker 6: I think that they were worried so they pulled him
- 37:11Speaker 6: out because it was probably sore from getting hit, and
- 37:13Speaker 6: they were.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Like, well, who cares.
- 37:14Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think.
- 37:15Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think he's seriously hurt. I'd be
- 37:18Speaker 6: surprised if he was.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Ah, I don't know, but yeah it was. I mean,
- 37:24Speaker 2: I'm going to be relieved if it's not an upper amstring. Yeah. Uh,
- 37:28Speaker 2: but man, we're taking guys out because they got hit
- 37:33Speaker 2: in the butt with an errant ball.
- 37:35Speaker 6: Well, we also took George Kirby out just because he'd
- 37:38Speaker 6: done a good job and it seemed to be time.
- 37:41Speaker 2: That really was that really was the reason. Yeah. I
- 37:45Speaker 2: wish I could argue, but based off of factual evidence,
- 37:49Speaker 2: the reason they took George I was like, boy, you
- 37:51Speaker 2: really were good today. Sit down, buddy, who cares if
- 37:54Speaker 2: we win?
- 37:57Speaker 3: That's it?
- 37:57Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 37:59Speaker 2: Good, good job, kidd Oh yeah, this isn't about winning.
