• 1:52

• 1:58
  Speaker 2: if they do figure out how to you're not watching,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you'll probably be sad. Yeah, it's kind of a milestone moment.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Be a lot worse if you missed my hot take
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on the piggyback again today.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well that's true, Yeah, so true.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You get away these things.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Actually you're still calling it piggyback chuck.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to figure these things out in life.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: These are the dilemmas that everybody faces. You're not alone,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You're not a snowflake. You got these dilemmas, everybody has them.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: We make choices in life, and your choice needs to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: be to hear my latest hot take on.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The piggyback, you better make the right choice.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your kid will be crawling again tomorrow. Yeah, it'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: be this. If you don't see it, then tomorrow it'll
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: feel like the first time.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I think there's a song about that, about feeling like
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the first time.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Mmm.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they wrote it about missing your kid crawling.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's all about baby's crawling. So yes, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if a baby crawls in the woods and nobody's around
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to see it, did it really happen?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Definitely, not exactly.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so your baby could crawl all over the house
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: today while you're listening to us for the very first time,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and as long as you don't see it, then you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: won't think that it's splendid. Just ignore it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've never heard better advice.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what people come here for. It's logic like that. Ye,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and it really does hit people in the core.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Great parenting advice.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Huh, you're welcome. Well, good morning, everybody. Wasn't it a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: wonderful day again yesterday. My goodness, I just I just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: invented ways. I'm like, look, I need to be outside somewhere,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and I really don't want to drink. I mean, we
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: came off the big Memorial Day weekend, and I drink
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit on Sunday, and I usually give myself
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: from Saturday through at least Wednesday, maybe all the way
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: till Friday. You know, you know, just kind of pump
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the brakes on that a little bit. And so I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna do it last night, which is, you know, Wednesday.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I usually celebrate Wednesdays. It's weird. Yeah, I think you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: should too. I agree with that. By the way I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: do I celebrate Wednesdays. I kind of feel like that's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the middle of the week. You know, it's, uh, you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: over the hill, and and so you just kind of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: give yourself to a little taste of what's coming in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: here in a couple of days. But last night I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna do it. So I'm like, Okay, well, where
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: can I go? What What activity can I do outdoors
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that I can enjoy this weather? So I just pulled
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: up a bench and just made a couple of phone calls,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ended up doing a radio interview in another city and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: just did it outside.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Just gonna celebrate, you know, just gonna soak in that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: wonderful weather.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: We had herds chirping, vitamin D and phone.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you another thing. It is, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing, Oh, it's just so green, Like, yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: we had a really wet winter and that's the benefit
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of it what we're getting right now. It's just gorgeous
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: out there. Everywhere you turn, everything is gorgeous.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And if you get mad that like, oh gosh, well
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: we had some really nice sunny days and then on
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Monday it decided to rain. Well you're welcome, yes, because
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: then you got two more days of sunshine. You're gonna
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: get a little bit of rain again. Yeah, then you're
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: gonna get more sun celebrates. It's not gonna be all
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: brown and gross and dry and smoky, hopefully fingers crossed.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Washington looks like it's getting ready for glamour shots right now.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I get so beautiful right now. I'm like, what is happening?
• 5:08

• 5:09
  Speaker 2: That drive on Steven's Pass on Monday, As long as
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it took it was so pretty gorgeous, so pretty all right?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Are you in the middle of a divorce, Washington? Is

  Speaker 2: Been working out clearly I want some of it. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: ye see what Washington's doing, It's working for you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I took advantage of it last night. You've got
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: me turned on Washington.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We haven't just come up with a new promo for
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: visit Washington. You're welcome.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm there. I need to be the head of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: tourism bureau around here. You've got me turned on Washington.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: What you're buying, I'm selling what you're selling, I'm buying
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the other way.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Actually, actually they've got us coming going, let's face it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, just gorgeous. And I guess we're eighty today
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and then goes back down to sixty and I love that. Yeah, Like,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: let's get a little spike, let's feel a little summary,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and then let's just not get in a hurry to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: get to eighty five. Let's remind ourselves how much we
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like sixty and take it back there a couple of notches,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and that's a perfect pace for me.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yep, I agree. I agree. That's why we live in
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the best place on earth.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is wonderful. All right, Well, welcome into the show.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Let's talk some sports. We got first place baseball team. Yip,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it's just been smooth sailing all season long. And man,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: this embarrassment of riches. Oh boy, everybody else in baseball
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the envy the twenty eight and twenty nine first place
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Yeattle Mariners.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I can imagine they would.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Not a single thing has gone wrong, not one thing,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: exactly where we wanted to be.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yep. Couldn't have asked for it to go any better.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: We were at softball last night and one of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: softball moms, Marissa, looked at me and goes, uh, Ashley, yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: how are the Mariners in first place? I said, well,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: we do play in a terrible division, Merissa, that does help.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But we swept the A's and they were at the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: top of the division, and now we are.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And that's the reason. I mean, that is the main reason,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: if you want to look at like a pie chart,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: main reason that we're in first place is because our
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: division is off to a bad start this year. I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, though I don't think it's going to remain
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that way as a matter of fact. And I said yesterday,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I think by the end of the season. Right now,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the American League West, there's not a single team with
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a winning record. Right now, in the National League Central,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there's not a single team with a losing record. Interesting,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I will I would make a wager right now that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: by the end of the year there'll be two winning
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: teams in each division.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's a safe wage out. Yeah.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, again, this is why we talk about
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a long season. It is. It's a long season in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. It doesn't excuse why the Mariners feel
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: obligated to get off to a terrible start every year.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And I really think that they need to figure route
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: why that's happening, really have a sit down about it. Yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: because I'm sick of it. We're all sick of it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: We're tired of it. But what the reason we play
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: these one hundred and sixty two games, Because this is
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a sport that really you do need a large amount
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of time to separate. You know, the cream will rise
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to the top. And I think that there are a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lot of teams that are off that got off to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: some good starts, as there always are in Major League
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Baseball that are a bit fraudulent, and I think there
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: are a lot more teams that got off to terrible
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: starts this year that are starting to finally put the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: world in balance, because we're not the only team. Philadelphia
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Phillies got off to a horrible start, Toronto Blue Jays
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: got off to a horrible start, The New York Mets, well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I think they're horrible, and so there are certainly a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: lot of teams that have done this and we're starting
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to see not just things course correct in the American
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: League West hopefully, but I think you're seeing it throughout
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: baseball as well. Philadelphia is well on their way to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: getting back to where they should probably be in this
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: baseball seaven. Even Baltimore's on a tear right now. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it's a long season and by the you know, hopefully
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the one hundred game mark, things will feel the way
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that they should feel. And maybe the Mariners are heading
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in that direction. But there's no doubt they're in first place.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Because the American League West as a group all off
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to rough starts so far this season, and that's the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: only way that a twenty eight and twenty nine baseball
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: team could be talking about being a first place team
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: on May twenty eighth, getting ready for June. So that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the biggest reason. But I think that there's a compliment
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in here as well to give the Mariners, even though
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: they have not played complimentary baseball this year. They have
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: not flattered us with the way that they've played so
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: far this season, But to as Ashley and I briefly
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: discussed in the nine o'clock Hour yesterday, to it pretty
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: much played as bad as you possibly can based on
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the talent that I see on this roster. You know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: everybody wants to beat up roster construction, and I think
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that you're just used to doing that because so many
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Mariner fans just don't want to believe in ownership, don't
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: want to believe in front office, and that's spilled over
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: into Dan Wilson here in the last year and a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: half as well. And there are certainly things to critique
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: about all of those entities, but I do believe that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: we can go back to the excitement that we had
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in spring training, and that was over how balanced the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: team felt. It felt like the most balanced team that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: we'd had in years, and I think you're starting to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: see that because you could play as poorly as you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: have offensively to this point, because they've certainly underachieved, you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: could play as poorly as they have defensively to this point.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And hopefully we're starting to figure out what needs to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: change about that, making the adjustments as we go to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: play as poorly as as you have. I think from
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the dugout, I think some of the managerial decisions have
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: really struggled with, you know, early they really struggle with
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: early season baseball decisions and having to factor in all
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the various things that you have to factor in at
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this time of the year. I got to rest that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I can't rest that guy. We're piggybacking today. I know
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to pinch hit ref Snyder here. I don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: know what to do. Rayley's three for three. I think
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of wrong decisions in that area.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So if you're not hitting and not defending and not
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: really making the best decisions in my opinion from an
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: x's and O standpoint, from the bench, and you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: still say that you're a game under five hundred, that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you are in first place in your division, and oh
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: by the way your superstar player has been terrible this
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: year for the most part. In cal Raley, I think
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that is a tip of the cap to roster construction,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that that is a tip of the cap to just
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: how good our pitching is. And it hasn't even been great.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: It's been very good. Starting pitching has been very good.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Bullpen's been very good. I think they could both be
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: great by the end of the season. So even they
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: haven't achieved to the level that I think that they
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: are capable of, but they are good enough that they
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: usually give you a chance to win in this sport,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and if your pitching is given you a chance to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: win most nights, then you probably are going to end
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: up with a winning record, and in this division, you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: probably are going to eventually run away with it. So
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna lean on this. We've
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: watched them do this every damn year and I don't
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and they've done it every damn year without a roster
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: this good. So to be in this position, I'm gonna
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: feel fortuitous that you can be near five hundred, chance
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to get to five hundred tomorrow night. You can be
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: in first place in a division that as a collective
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: is off to a really rough start, and I don't
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: think you can play worse than what you've played for
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the first fifty seven games of the year. And from
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that I will glean some encouragement because I know the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: offense is going to be better. I know that the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: defense is starting to get ironed out. Dan was better
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in the second half of his decisions last year than
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: he was in the first half, so I would imagine
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: we're heading in that direction again. When you just get
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: down to playing baseball and trying to win games, I
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: think that's where he does succeed. And I still think
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: our pitching will get better. So and I know cal
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Raley's going to come back and be better than what
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: cal Raley was for the first month and a half
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of the season. So from that standpoint, as frustrated as
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: we've been, I don't have a lot of hair to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: pull out, but it's all gone I mean to be
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: at this point, and the American League West has cooperated.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's an encouraging sign. And I still think, despite all
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: my frustrations, despite everything I just mapped out for you there,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that this team is going to pull away in the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: American League West and I think there'll be another team
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in the American League West with a winning record, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it might be the A's. It might be they're young,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they're talented, and they're pitching is not terrible.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got some guys that can hit, Yeah, for sure.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But I think we will. I think that I'm still
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: going to satisfy my prediction for this team. Maybe they're
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not going to win as many games as I thought
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: they were going to win, but I said at the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: beginning of the year, this is going to be a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: lot more comfortable of a season. So I still think
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: they're going to win this division with a cushion. It
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just has not felt like a first place team, that's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: for sure at this point in the year.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it was interesting yesterday's sweeping the A's. Normally
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: it would be like, yeah, sweet, I was like, oh,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: thank goodness we swept them, because I just felt like,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't remember a time where we have needed a
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: sweep as badly as we needed that sweep this at
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: like the first half of the season, and that one
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: felt like it could be I'm not saying the M word.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. Yeah, no, because we don't say
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that well.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: You can say it. It doesn't matter.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying it because even when I say
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: they're allergic.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: To it or they hate it, well as I'm saying, yeah,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: there's no point for us to be afraid of our
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: analysis because it doesn't affect them either way. We can
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: talk about it, we cannot talk about it. They don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: take advantage. That's true, but not at this time of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: But it just felt like it just felt more needed
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: than I remember when in the past, for sure.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And again in a long season. I don't think that
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: we needed to win three games. No, no, no, I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: think I got I saw that I got criticized for
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: believing that winning two out of three against the A's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: would be a good thing.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: What.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Twitter's a strange world. I'm like, of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: course I would have taken two out of three.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't think I'm gonna come back and say, oh,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think that we needed to sweep. But I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: do think there's an element of I mean, it kind
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of looked like Dan needed to to win three games.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It kind of felt it kind of felt like the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: organization and the clubhouse needed to be reminded Oh yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: we are pretty good at this. Yeah. When we do
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: put things together, when we aren't kicking the ball around
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the field, we are capable of scoring runs without hitting
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a home run. We can string together hits yea. Even
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in a home run friendly ballpark, we can still score
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: runs by stringing together hits in an inning, which has
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: eluded this team. Oh yeah, we aren't absolutely vulnerable against
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: any left handed pitcher that they throw at us. Some
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of the guys we brought over maybe they can hit
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: left handers. We saw a little bit of that. And
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the starting pitching was fantastic all three games. And so
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: maybe more than a three and oh stint in Sacramento,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: maybe what was more important is just a reminder of,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, we are pretty good at this.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think you know, you bringing up the
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: fact that the lefties facing lefties twice in a row,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and we had talked about how we thought that was
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a good thing to kind of just remind them that
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they can do it. And I think it showed it
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: was a good thing. Ref Snyder did a great job
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: with that home run, and I think that's going to
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: give a boost of confidence. And I just it was
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a nice thing to see them do it two times
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: in a row, so it wasn't a fluke on Wednesday.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I think, yeah, Tuesday, and that should be momentous.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I'll say it. I'm not I don't worry about jinxing things.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'm putting a dollar in the MJR.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that could be momentous. I'm not saying it
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: will be. This team's not very good at it, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they have a day off here, and we thought many
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: times that okay, now they're going and then they fall
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: all over themselves in the next three games at home.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: We've seen it like twice already this year, where we
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: thought for sure, hey, you're coming home, you've got some momentum,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: it's gonna it's now, it's happening, and then they just
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: crap all over themselves. But I'll start with this every time.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I'll start with, all right, three wins in a row,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: let's see if we've got a few things ironed out,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and so a day off today, and then the Arizona
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks who are red hot coming into this game, coming
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: into this weekend, and so first place team will take
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the field tomorrow night. All right, let's find out what's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: on tap for the rest of the show.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: What's on TEP?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: What's ontep? Okay, So we will talk about the game itself,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: because man, did we learn a valuable lesson. We keep
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: learning this valuable lesson over and over and over about
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: major League baseball. And hopefully the Mariners were watching what
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: they took advantage of. We'll get into that coming up
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: at six thirty. Also, let's see what else we got here. Yes,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: red hot Arizona is coming into town tomorrow night. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: say that they've won ten of their last eleven, but
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: they have played their last twelve games against the two
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: worst teams in the National League, so I don't know
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: how that worked out by the schedule makers. But they
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: have played twelve games, twelve games in a row against
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants, who are
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: both lost franchises right now, and so yes, they've outplayed them, Okay,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: but you haven't really faced a real baseball team in
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a while, so I don't know if they're as red
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: hok as what their record indicates and what people are
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: leading on. They're going to face a better team even
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: though we're twenty eight and twenty nine, Arizona will be
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: facing the best team they faced in thirteen games. There's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: no question about that. MLB labor negotiations are underway, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I look at this as a relief. I mean, how
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: many times in sports have we looked at something and like,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: why did you wait till the last minute to start
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: talking about this? You know, it happens all the time,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and people do it because that's good business. You want
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to wait till the midnight hour because you want the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: other people to sweat, and you want to think that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: they're up against the deadline. Well they're doing the same thing,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: do you. I don't. I mean, I'm not a businessman.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I could never be a businessman. I'm not going to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: try to pretend to be a businessman. I'm sure there
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: are merits to it. Wait till the midnight hour before
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you even start talking seriously about something you know is
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: going to be difficult to resolve, and so I'm sure
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: there are merits to it, and I'm never gonna get
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: it cop to being a good businessman, but I'm I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: do want to give Major League Baseball and the Players
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Association some credit. They know this is a really big
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: CBA that they're going to have to work out. The
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: players know the agenda of ownership and what they're going
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: to try to get to accomplished, which is something they've
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: never tried. They could never get passed through, and so
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: they have at least started negotiations with that, and hopefully
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: that means that we can have a little bit of
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: open mindedness in this process, because the last thing we
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: need in the baseball community is some sort of long
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: standing labor stoppage. And I do fear it's going to happen.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: One way or the other. We're going to get it,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: but at least the negotiation is underway, the first proposal
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: has been sent to the other side. I'm going to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: go ahead and lean on being encouraged by that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I'll do that too.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: College football, man, I don't even recognize this game anymore.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But the Apple Cup this year will not only kick
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: off the season for both the Koog's and the Dogs,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but now we've learned it's going to be played on
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: a Sunday. Does he even feel like the Apple Cup anymore?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. I mean, I guess for both programs,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: it's good. It's going to be a national game. Yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: But five Iron and I were talking about that last night.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: He's like, it's just lost.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: A Sunday, and I know it's going to be on
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a holiday, so you'll have the day off after.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Labor.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Pretty sure, Yea, I think that's why they're doing it
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: on a Sunday. I think I may have just made
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that up on the spot.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think that's right.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: But I just I mean, you know what the Apple
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Cup that I knew growing up from living in the Midwest,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to the Apple Cup that I knew as a sports
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: talk show host both nationally and locally in the West Coast,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to the Apple Cup I was introduced to when I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: arrived here. Yeah, it is a completely different thing than
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: what we're going to experience this year on a Sunday.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, it's the fact that it's It used
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to matter, right because we were in the many the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: same conference. But now it matters because it can because
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: it could be really bad for Washington or really good
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: for Wazoo, whereas before it wasn't quite quite like that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it might be on the road to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: not even happening, I know, which I felt for a
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: long time. But we'll talk with Christian Cable. Been a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: long time since I chatted with that Christian Cable. You
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: want to know why, because he had babies and he
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: was watching them crawl, so he wouldn't miss it. The
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: gall that's what he did. He's been spending years, like
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you know, Duck and me, because what if my b
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: what if my child does something for the first time
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and I haven't seen it. Well, hopefully we figured that
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: out here this morning.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got her. We've reset everyone's priorities.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Seahawks OTAs continue even though Greg Bell's not been allowed
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to watch anything. Also, Irvin Charles traded for yesterday by
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the Hawks to add to this special teams group. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: can't wait to talk about that with Greg and talk
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: about it amongst ourselves as well, So we'll do that
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: later on in the show. Greg will join us At
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: seven oh five. Stanley Cup Playoffs, Montreal is on the brink.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: They're down now three to one to the heavily favored
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes. Hurricanes won easily last night, four to nothing.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I think there's just a complete difference in the quality
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of those two teams. NBA playoffs were dark on Wednesday
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: because the Knicks are awaiting their opponent in the NBA
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Finals so Game six of the Western Conference Finals tonight,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: OKC versus San Antonio. They'll play that game in Texas.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Just had a phone conversation with my biggest Spurs fan friend.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, that makes sense, Yes, Spurs fan Frint.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's doing wonderfully, by the way, Steve so
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: LEAs you know Steveh yeh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: good news news gay. Yeah, he's wonderful.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Human.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Washington Mystic seventy eight sixty four winners over the Storm
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: last night. So that ends a moderate two game winning
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: streak for the Storm as they fall by fourteen. And
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the World Cup will begin first match on June eleventh.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: So I've been saying two weeks for several days now.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It's because I can never figure out a soccer calendar. Ever,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you could, you could test me on at a thousand times.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'll never learn.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I think we are now, Like really.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep saying two weeks.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we are two weeks actually exactly two weeks,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: two weeks from today. It is Thursday, June eleventh.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter tomorrow, I'm gonna say two weeks.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it'll be just under. So it's basically two weeks.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for the next two weeks, I can say two weeks.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm so I'm gonna say, Okay, So World Cup
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: starts June eleventh. You do the math, Mariner's Morning After
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: comes your way. Yes, I'm gonna tell you about the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: two most important plays of this series. Sports Radio ninety
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: three point three kJ R f M. That's right. We're
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: gobbling up some victory porridge here on a Thursday morning.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that sound delicious? Good? Yeah? I just want to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: go over to the big porridge cauldron and just ladle
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: myself some outlup.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I think your noise was better.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Than Oh, can I have some skinnm in on that? No,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I can't just eat the porgee. I'll take some victory porridge. Uh.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So the Mariners were in Sacramento the last three days.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: They won the first two games of the series, and
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, despite the rough waters uh that
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: we've managed to topple all season long, they had a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: chance yesterday with a win to sweep the team that
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: had been in first place for a great number of days,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the A's With their victory and surge into first place
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: with the win, Well, it was back to back games
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: against a left handed starting pitcher, something the Mariners have
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: struggled with all season long, and I mean struggled like
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: worst in baseball by far, struggling. It's been ugly, it's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: been terrible, but an opportunity to say, hey, hey, you
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: know what, We're not gonna be terrible at this anymore.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: They beat Gage Jump on Tuesday and then faced Jeffrey Springs,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a veteran and he's had a pretty good year so
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: far this year for the A's yesterday afternoon with a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: start time of high noon, and the Mariners scored in
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the very first inning. But they did it because they
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: were given a break. You cannot give extra outs in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. The Mariners defense has learned that the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: hard way, and they've benefited from it twice in this series.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: The two most important plays in this series have been
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Darnell her NAEs, which, by the way, tastes great on
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a sandwich. Just a little bit of her NAEs on there.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a little some turkey.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Right yeah, little peppers and her NAEs. Yeah, that's great.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Darna Nell Herne's not being able to turn two on
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: a routine six' four to three double play to Get Josh,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: naylor and The mariners ended up scoring six runs in that.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Inning they would have gotten out of that without any run.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Scored and then, yesterday same thing happens there in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: first inning as there were two outs and there was
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a ground ball hit the second And i'm telling, You
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: jeff McNeil HAD Jp. CRAWFORD i Think jeff McNeil has
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: not gotten the. MEMO Jp crawford's not. Fast apparently, not
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: because he had him by fifteen twenty feet at second,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: base and he decided to do this jump throw to
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: make the highlight reel to first, base sils it into the.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Dugout so all of a, sudden the inning's kept alive two,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: outs two to, one and An a's fan might have
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: been sitting back in their home, saying no big. Deal
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: this Ref snyder guys up with his one hundred batting.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Average we're. Fine they weren't. Fine three to. Two hamverered
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: down to left. Field this ball is, Gone Rob refsnyder
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: with a bulk to left and it's three Nothing maritors right.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Away Aaron goldsmith on the Call MARINERS, tv hit the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: top of the wall and bounced over for a three
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: run home. Run you can't give extra outs in this,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: LEAGUE i, mean and same thing for. US i, mean
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: we've done it a few times. Ourselves and you, KNOW
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: i think back to that game that got away From
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: brian wu in his last. Start he should have been
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: out of that inning with no, damage and we make
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of. Mistakes next thing you, know you're down
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: four to nothing when it should be zero to. Zero
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you go down four to, nothing three, nothing as it was,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: yesterday because your second baseman's trying to make the highlight
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: reel rather than the routine. Play and that's a hard
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: thing to come back from In Major League, baseball especially
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: against a pitching staff as good as The, mariners a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: pitcher as hot As Logan gilbert is right, now and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: it certainly proved to be too much to. Overcome The
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: mariners had two more in the, fourth one more in the,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: sixth and they were off and. Running they end up
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: going on to a nine to one victory in the.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Game yesterday couldn't have gone.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Better, no it really couldn't. Have and it was refreshing
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to see both aspects of the game, working the pitching
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: and the. Offense it was.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Lovely Logan gilbert's six, innings, pitched five hits. Allowed he
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: seems to be back to Being logan after a bit
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: of a rough start, himself had a couple of, walks
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: he struck out. Six but that's two fantastic starts in
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a row from slim pitchings and The mariners go on

• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Did it the same.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Way logan was just another outstanding outing attacking like he, did,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: uh you, know getting ahead using his stuff, again and
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: then offensively we took, over you, know Rep obviously in

  Speaker 3: the first inning there was you, know just a great.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: At bat and and uh getting.
• 30:30

  Speaker 3: a tremendous effort all around.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Today and it's just been like your best series of the, seasons.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Just from the, pitching, defense the.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Offense that way you guys were able to put it. Together,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: YEAH i think. SO i, mean you, know, UH i
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: think this is you, know as good as we've played
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: all season long and as consistent as we've been and
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: and uh again it was it's it's all parts of
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: the game and and, uh you, KNOW i thought that
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: the bats were, outstanding the, pitching you, know you turn
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: it over to the bullpen again today who did a great.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Job and it was just you, know four runs in
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the series against a team that's you.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Know uh was ahead of us in the.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Standing so just a great effort and, uh you, know
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: good to take take first place.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Over but, again a little bit.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Of a rest tomorrow and then back home On friday
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: and getting after it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Again Dan, wilson and that Was Daniel kramer being nosy.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Again if your questions to yourself reporters.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Like he's it's like he thinks it's his job or,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: something you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Know nine to. One, yeah a lot of things to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: highlight from this. One Rob. Refsniner he's got that average
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: all the way up to one twenty, two which is that's.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Terrible that's still, terrible but we do have a step
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: in the right. Direction that's two straight games that he's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: he's contributed to the success of the. Team he was
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: on base three times the previous, game and that three
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: run homer certainly set the tone In it was a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: really good at bat and so Hopefully Rob refsnyder's getting
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a little confidence from. THAT i loved his quote after
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the game where he, said, YEAH i get why people
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: are throwing left handers against us BECAUSE i haven't been
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: any good and they're taking advantage of. It but hopefully that's.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Changing And i'm, paraphrasing but, Yes Rob refsnyder has hit
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: lefty's dominated them the last three. Years so hopefully he's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: he's getting. Going AND i do think that guy relies on.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Confidence he seemed like a beaten fella a little bit
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: earlier this, year but a couple of. Games who knows
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: what that might do for, him and back to back.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Games AS i mentioned, Yesterday i'm glad we faced a
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: to back lefties and proved it two games in a.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Row Cole young was two for four with three runs.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Scored Young Colt emerson a triple two. HITS i, mean
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: he's got a three sixty one on base a five
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: to sixteen. Slug he has introduced himself rather well to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Major league baseball at age, twenty with a baby face
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: of his and so he doesn't seem to be overwhelmed
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: by the, moment which is exactly What justin And jerry
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: told us would. Occur.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: No, yeah he seems to be fitting in just. Perfectly yeah, yeah.

  Speaker 1: at the top of the, hour And Greg bell will
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: be joining us at seven oh. Five certainly one of
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the topics of conversation will be yesterday's, trade and it
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: will be seen as a minor. Trade it's not even
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: on the headlines AT nfl Dot com or on THE
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: nfl page ON, espn and hard to find even AT Cbs.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Sports it's not really that significant of a. Move The
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: seahawks traded yesterday For Irvin. Charles if you haven't heard of,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: him don't feel so. BAD i hadn't either when the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: trade went, Down and THEN i started reading the description
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: of What Irvin charles is at age twenty. Nine i'm, like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: well this can't be much of a trade Because i've
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: never heard this. Guy he's already twenty nine years. Old
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: what Is john? DONE i, mean this is a guy
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: that loves draft picks and he's just gonna fly to seventh.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: ROUND i, know it's just a seventh round. Pick What's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: what's what Gives? John and THEN i started reading the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: description because the first they have to give him a
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: position and it says wide receiver And i'm, like, okay
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: another thing we don't.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Need but.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: It goes on to say special teams Menace Irvin charles
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And Irvin charles doesn't return, kicks so when they say
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: special teams, menace they mean he's fantastic in. Coverage, now
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: this two years. Ago i'm not gonna Say i've just
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: recently matured in this area BECAUSE i was fifty four
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: years old to you, Know i'm fifty four years old right,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: now but you KNOW i was fifty four last football. Season,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: yep so at age fifty, Four, okay you, know just
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: a few months, AGO i would have, like what are we?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Doing really a draft pick on a guy that only
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: plays special? Teams what's? Next we're Gonna we're gonna Get
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Jerry depoto is just gonna sign a pinch? Runner, only,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: like is that the thing we're gonna? Do is that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: what we're we're so complete as a team that we're
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: so in lack of need of a draft picks that
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna trade for somebody that is a special
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: teams coverage. Guy why? Not SO i would have scoffed at.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: IT i totally would, Have BUT i apparently am a new.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: MAN i have seen the, light And john has shown
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: it to. Me they are very serious about this third
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: phase of the, game Which i've never really given that much.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Credit to in the, Past i've kind of rolled my
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: eyes my entire career of those saying three, phases all three.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Phases i'm, like, ah, nah you can probably be subpar
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: special teams and still be, great still win A Super
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: bowl if you're great on offense and great on, Defense
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and you probably still can be that. Way but after
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: watching this team come, together after seeing how much they
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: depended on their special, teams And i'm talking about all
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: four phases of, It i'm talking about a really good,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: kicker a really good, punter a really good return, game
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: and really good in coverage and maybe, great maybe great
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: at all. FOUR i, mean they won A Super, bowl
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and they were fantastic on, defense and we were better
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: than what people realized that they slept on all season
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: long on. Offense BUT i don't know if you win
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: The Super bowl last year if you weren't as good
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: at all three phases as The seahawks. Were and so
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Clearly john's buoyed by. THAT i thought we'd see some
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: copycat stuff in The National Football. LEAGUE i thought we'd
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: see a lot more teams put a lot more emphasis
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: on special teams this, offseason maybe more so than we ever,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: have because it is a copycat. League my. Goodness when
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: The rams unveiled the greatest show on, turf everybody was
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: trying to match. Them for years after. That they were
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: trying to find the coach that could give them. That
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: when The ravens won with Ray lewis and the, defense
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: everybody was going in, on all, right we gotta go
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: three four. Defense we gotta find out a way to
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: we gotta find that metal linebacker like Ray. Lewis people
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: were trying to copy. That that's what happens in The
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: National Football. League nobody has an original. Idea it's Like.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Hollywood and SO i really thought people were gonnay copy
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: that this, offseason and they really, Didn't but you know who,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Did John schneider's following his own book like that worked so.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: WELL i loved that so. Much we are doing something
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: where we don't have a weakness on this. Team we're
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: not weak offensively Because sam ended up being as good
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: as we thought he was going to. Be we knew
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: we were gonna have a great defense because we got
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the best defensive mind and we've got great assets on
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: that side of the, ball and we sneakily had a
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: great special teams. Group So i've matured for a long.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Time, Mom i'm so proud of your new fifty four
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: year old.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Self But i've come. Around i'm not going to doubt.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: This i'm gonna, say oh, wow we've got another special
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: teams coverage menace on our. Team nobody else thought of
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: that this, offseason So i'm not gonna question. It certainly
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: worth a seventh round pick in my, mind because that's
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: how great The seahawks special teams groups and all four
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: phases of the third phase were in twenty twenty.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Five. Yeah, also if you say somebody is a, Menace
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: i'm gonna, think, well, okay we got a better person
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: than just like excellent at special. TEAMS i, mean if
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: you're a special team's, Menace i'm, like, Well i'm very
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: intrigued by this, move more intrigued THAN i should be
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: for a special teams. Move but you're, right what they're.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: DOING i love that they're not ignoring, it they're continuing
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: to do. IT i am as also surprised that other
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: teams haven't been adding special teamers left and, right but,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: hey if they, don't maybe they still don't think it's
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: as big of a. Deal and if they just they probably.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Don't, yeah they probably.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Don't, WELL i hope it burns them.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Again And, Ben, frankly it doesn't completely wash away my
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: thoughts about, it But i'm certainly not going to question
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: that The seahawks are invested in, it not after WHAT
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: i watched last. Season So i'm a more of a believer,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Now i'm a more of a. Believer you've convinced, Me
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: john and so, Yes Urban, charles welcome to the. Team
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: we've got another. Menace let's, go third phase. Menace let's
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: go all. Right Greg bell will join us. Next we'll
• 42:24
