• 0:58
  Speaker 2: at the Orca Ballroom at Leylap Resort Casino. Sometimes that
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: turns into a brawl room, so I hope it doesn't.

  Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't for Collins concert, I don't think he's.
• 1:08

• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to you at Everything to Leylap dot com. Mariners are
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: back in action tonight. I don't know what it is
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: about a baseball season, especially when your team's going well.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I was sitting here this morning, I was taking my
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: shower and I'm like, man, feels like it's been like
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a week and a half since the Mariners have played.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It does feel like a long time.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: One day off, yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: But it was because it was done so early in
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the day before. It feels like it's been forever.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I was like thinking about Martini Knight tonight and I'm like, gosh,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be good to actually finally get to watch
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: some baseball. One day off.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one day off it's been forever.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Feels like it. But the team returns home.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: They got this.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's a shiny new five hundred record. I've been talking
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about it for the last couple of shows. Kind of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: feels like a perfect reset, you know, restart the season opportunity. Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they got off to a rough start, but now it's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: like they're back to zero and zero, only a game
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: out of first place with one hundred and thirty two
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: games to play. In my opinion, now they will begin
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: their assault on the rest of the American League West,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and I think they will slowly pull away from all
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the rest of the competitors here over the course of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the last one hundred and thirty thirty games of the year.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But the Kansas City Royals are gonna be hungry. They
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: come into town tonight and you hope what you built,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: what you really hope for, Ashley is when you do
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: kind of climb out of a hole that there's no
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: oh God, and then you relax too much, right, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: want I want that reset button to be met with hunger,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Like all right now, now we're gonna cheat through the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: walls to get out on the baseball field coming for you. Yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we dug out of the hole. We got that behind us,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and now we're going to destroy people. I mean, that's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: what you want to have happen. But there is that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: slim possibility, because of the psychology of the sports mind,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that you get out of that hole and then you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: think you've actually accomplished something when you haven't, and then
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: suddenly you come out flat. Even though you're in front
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of the home field, the home crowd and so that's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: what I hope to avoid starting with Kansas City Royals tonight.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: But they are still not out of their hole. The
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Royals began this year, maybe not with Mariner expectations, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I know they themselves, the Kansas City media market thought
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that this was a team that could win the American
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: League Central this year, and they still can. Nobody's run
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: away with it, that's for sure, just like the American
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: League West, but they are in a bad way so
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: far this season. They are off to a twelve and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: nineteen start this year that was made ugly by an
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: eight game losing streak recently, but they have more re
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: simply had a four game winning streak, so maybe they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: starting to come out of it. The numbers don't necessarily
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: read like they're having a terrible year across the board.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: They're pretty much middle of the pack and a lot
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of different offensive categories, and yet they've got one of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the worst records in the American League at this stage,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and so they're not coming up with the timely hit
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: so far this season. The bullpen is not closing out games.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: They've already had to replace their closer once already this year,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and let's face it, their best player, Bobby Witt Junior,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: who most people thought was going to and still probably
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: will compete for an MVP. I mean, he's already established
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: himself as one of the best players in all of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the sport, all of the world, and yet he can
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: get off to a two to eighty nine start and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: people think, well, Bobby WIT's not clicking just yet. I mean,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we went through a WBC experience with him as America's shortstop,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and it was pretty evident that if not Aaron Judge,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: he was the best player on the team. He can
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: do it all, and unfortunately for Kansas City fans, he
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: has yet to do it all this season. He's hit
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: only two home runs, but he's stolen ten bases. His
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: ops is around eight hundred. He plays gold glove defense.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He may have turned into the best defensive shortstop in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the game as well. So this is just a special dude.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is top five player in the world
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's incredible, and I guarantee you know, Kansas City
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: fans are sitting there going, oh, we're screwed, because this
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: is how Bobby Wit Junior is going to be for
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the rest of his career. And whatever he did before
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: as a fluke And yeah, nobody's thinking that. And let's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: just I just need to hope that he doesn't come
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: here and decide with this seventy nice degree weather that, oh,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: this is when I'll get hot.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's always a chance of that. I mean,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: he does seem to be He never was as cold
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: as our best players, but he just the power wasn't there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And this is the year where the Kansas City Royal
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: have decided to move their fences in. That was a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: big decision by them. They had always kind of been
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a pitching organization and so they kept the fences deep.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It was a pitcher's ballpark they decided this offseason probably
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: led a lot by the fact that they've got Bobby
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Witt junior. They got a couple prospects and Carter Jensen
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and Jack cagleone who they're expecting big things out of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: playing their first full seasons in the major leagues. Those
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: are power hitting guys, the Sasquatch, the passquatch.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, can I heard he was hurt? Potentially is he
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: going to be here?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, says says day to day. But he's
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: off to a rough start. So they just off to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a rough start. In general, even with the fences moving in,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: they're not hitting a lot.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Of home runs.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And so yes, of course we don't want them to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: figure it out this weekend. Kick a dog while it's down,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I suppose. But Kansas City so far this season twenty fourth.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: This is the real difference between them and the Mariners,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: having dug out of their hole. Kansas City's twenty fourth
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in the league and tm ERA where the Mariners are fifth.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So and the numbers like on base you know, base
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: runners allowed, not that different. They've got some good pitchers.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: They've got Cole Reagan's that's just gonna go tonight. That
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: guy can pitch and he's left handed, which is always
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: terrifying for us.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's great for us.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Seth Lugo veteran, just get Michael wak
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Us off to a good start. So they've got some
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: pitchers off to a good start. But obviously what traffic
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: they are allowing is scoring as opposed to ours, which
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: our guys are finding a way to keep teams.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Off the board.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But this is a I think a good team that
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: eventually is going to get right. They're off to and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: even colder start than obviously the Mariners got off to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: but we just don't want them to get well starting
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: this weekend, and so let's get it started tonight. It'll
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: be Cole Reagan's for them, it'll be Brian Woo for us,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna have some warm weather this weekend for
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the first time this base ball season, So who knows
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: what kind of effect that's going to have on the games.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it has a good effect on us and terrible
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: effect on them.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's very selfish of you, yes, correct, all right,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Coming up next on the radio program, we do have
• 8:13

  Speaker 2: It is a fantastic to have you with us. What
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a night last night in the NBA and the NHL playoffs,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: all sorts of upsets, stuff that we just did not
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: seek coming. And yet man, it went down last night.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Speaking of going down, did we get any comments on
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the text line about other people who were actually popular
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and desirable and actually.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Making out in the back of the bus was a thing?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Nick says there was a reason there were so many
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: blankets in the back six rows of the track bus.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Ah H four five said, I wasn't popular.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: In high school, but my girlfriend always snuck back to
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: my seat to make out. Well, popular enough to have
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: a girlfriend, bro.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, and it sounds like sounds like she
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: was into you. Uh, you don't you got a risk? Attention.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: That's the truth.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Just for some average Joe. I'll tell you that much.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And the three six so says, yes, Chuck, it even
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: happened here in Washington State. And I will tell you
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: from personal experience, the bus driver can hear everything that
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: goes on in the back of the bus because it
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: all just comes shooting right up along the side walls
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: near his ear.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Why didn't they stop us doing that?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They they were? Were they sick ns? You weren't yelling
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: on the bus at that point. They're like, yeah, it's fine,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: just keep going. You're probably right. Yeah, but you know
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that the coaches knew. Yes, the coaches job, not the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bus driver's job.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I think the coaches are just kind of like, I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: gonna let yeah, boys be boys back on that day,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, But but there was
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the cheerleading coach was on the bus too, and then
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you got the bus driver and they're basically just all
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: sick voyears.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I think maybe maybe especially in Illinois.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Especially in Illinois, Oh boy, you can't. You can't swing
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a cat without hitting a weirdo in Illinois.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: If I had a doll.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: All right, good morning to you all. The highlight you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: heard from Sportsnet last night the Anaheim Mighty Ducks with
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Mike Trout, you know in the stadium in the arena
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: last apparently a big Ducks fan, big hockey fan, that guy. Yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: it does make sense. Yeah, can't watch his flyers.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I really liked to know that in the highlight,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: how the announcer was like, you know, the crowds waited
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: eight long years for this, We're gonna let them take
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you to the finish. And then they just stopped talking
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and it was just for the last fifteen seconds, just
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the crowd, Yeah, getting hyped af Yeah, before that horn
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: went off.
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: I liked that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, good call on that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy crazy night in the in the NBA and
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the NHL playoffs. I mean, the Dallas Stars go down
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: in the first round, the Edmonton Oilers go down in
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the first round, and we've come to expect that in
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the NHL playoffs. But to couple it with the Denver Nuggets,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a three seed facing a six seed who was without
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: three of their double digit per game scorers during the season,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and then for the Timberwolves to rise up without Aunt
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Edwards available to them for most of this series and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: not only take out the Nuggets, but to do it
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in six games last night they only had eight players.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: That was one of the crazy great efforts that you're ever.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Going to see in professional sports, that they summoned the
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: energy and the toughness and the tenacity to pull off
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that upset. So good on the Timberwolves. Good on the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: state of Minnesota. They pulled offsets. What a night for them,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: What a night for Minnesota.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I hope they had two TVs or they were real pissed.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I bet you. Mark Glenn probably painted the town red
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: last night. Our boss, our own Mark Glenn.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They're on the rooftop.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just shouting, just shouting, howling at the moon, setting
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: off fireworks.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Glenn, all right in and Minnesota things. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: probably laid the accent on pretty thick around the house,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Like oh hey, Jenny, Yeah, Hey, what's in that bague?
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I want to go outside and play some tag? Oh
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you bet you yeah?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And Jenny was like, oh god, I hate it when
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Minnesota wins.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, don't be such a hague. I don't get this celebration.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: My flag.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go plant a flag in the backyard, all right, Well, yes,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: excellent action last night in the NBA Playoffs NHL Playoffs,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I mean even the blowout was interesting. That the Atlanta
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Hawks won lost by over fifty points to the New
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: York Knicks last night. That was a one point kind
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: of a tight series. Didn't end up that way. Also,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you saw the Boston Celtics be taken to a seventh game.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Philly won by thirteen last night over Boston. So game

  Speaker 2: either moved on or maybe there was a mutual decision
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: to move on. I don't know, but it looks like
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: she's exploring other opportunities to land with an the NHL franchise.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Tonight you've got Mariners taking on the Kansas City Royals.

  Speaker 2: Even Spencer Hawes told me yesterday he's joining you out there, Tony.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So it'll be.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Nice in the middle of spring to see all of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: your buddies, won't it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: Absolutely, Hanging out with Spencer's always great because is pushing
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: in a good mood, because he causes you to look up.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: He's still the biggest dog I know. But yeah, it's
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: gonna be so much fun, you know it is. I'm
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: hearing thirty seven thousand tickets as of last.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Night, we're all needed.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: We're pushing for forty K. The weather's looking like it's
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: gonna cooperate. It is just gonna be a lot of fun.
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: And you know, I always say as we go into
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: the fall, you only get seven times a year to
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: do a home game in Husky Stadium, so those days
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: are special, right, And this kind of like meets you
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: halfway there. This is you get a little taste of it,
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: a little flavor heading into the summer. It's it's an
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: eighth opportunity to get into the stadium to watch a
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: Purple and Gold play.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's gonna be a beautiful weather. I mean, look,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the this is this is a really big deal to
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: coaches and and I'm not sure if all fan bases
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: in college football recognize the significance of the spring game
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: to the people that run the program. I'm not even
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: sure I fully grasp it. But Jed's trying to get
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the word out. I mean, you know, he wants more
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: than even forty OK for this game. So you've been
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: around him, You've been around the program, you've been around
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the sport for a long time. Why is it that
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: this having a large crowd is so important to the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: head football coach?
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: Well, I think it's about just the culture of college football,
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: you know, And I mean I think that as the
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: sport continues to evolve at a rapid pace, you have
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: to stay connected to the roots because it's the roots
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: and the traditions about the thing that made people fall
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: in love with it in the first place. And it's
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: about the excitement, you know, Like I mean, I you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: season tickets are a big investment, and you know, not
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: everybody's always able to make it, but you know what
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: they can do is they can hold their kids' hands
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: and put the p W on the cheek and load
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: up the family and bring a cooler and tailgate for
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: a little bit and then walk into the greatest setting
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: and hear the marching band and see the cheerleaders and watch,
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: you know, watch.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: The team go at it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: And it's just about kind of the feeling that you
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: get walking into that college football cathedral there on Montlake, right, Like,
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's just a special feeling to go into
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: that place. And I think that it is you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: I've said this about college sports, and it's one of
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: those things that I think everybody that works in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: college sports space is really fighting hard to try to
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: protect in this brave new world with you know, transfer
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: portal and everything else. But like, you know, think about
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: the sport of baseball, I think is a really good example.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: Like I spent some time in the Southeast, and before
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: I did you know, games at Washington, I did basketball
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: only at Clemson for three years, and I thought back
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: on that time what a big baseball school Clemson was,
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: and how you know, at a place, you know, down
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: in the South, where the weather cooperates and all that stuff,
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: just how they will draw crowds way larger than any
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: minor league baseball team would. And yet you could make
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: a lot of arguments that you know, the play on
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: the field, inn you know, on Triple A baseball is
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: better than college sports. So you know, those guys are
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: just a breath away from the big leagues. Why would
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: there be so much more fandom for college baseball than
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: minor league baseball? And I think it's because of the
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: community aspects, and it's because that everybody that's wearing that
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: college baseball uniform at the University of Washington or wherever
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: else they're playing for a championship, and that you know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: the concept of a triple A player the moment he
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: gets that call see you, you know, I'm out of
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: here by guys, love you, good luck the rest of
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: the season. I'm off to the big leagues. And college sports,
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: I think is still like to keep that communal aspect,
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: and they still are, you know, like the brotherhood on
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: this Husky football team is as thick and as strong
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: as ever. And yes, you know, there's more frequent in
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: and out than there was before, but also the amount
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: of time that these guys spend together is more than
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: ever before. They're all in twenty four to seven, three
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: sixty five. They are playing and fighting and scrapping and
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: clawing for a Big Ten championship and a berth in
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: the college Football Playoff. And so it's that level of
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: buy in that you know they have for your team
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: that gets the fans to buy in as well. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: that's why college sports is still incredibly special, because they
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: really aren't playing for a contract. They're playing for one another,
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: they're playing for a championship, They're playing for you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: the community at large. And I think that the spring
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: game is the simulation of that. It's a reminder of that,
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: and that's why I love it so much.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I do want to clarify just in case
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: it was a confusing question.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to cut you off, but I did
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: want to clarify. I'm just talking about the spring game. Obviously,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a coach always wants a sellout for regular season games.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: But why was it so important for the spring game?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: And then and then you did get there eventually, But
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I thought maybe I had mis asked the question, So
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I wanted to clarify for our audience that once the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: sports talk show host doesn't quite understand that coaches like
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: sold out arenas well.
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: And also, you know, we want we want a full
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: stadium today. Yeah, and you know it's open to the public.
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: All you gotta do is go online, claim a ticket.
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: It's free, come on out, have a good time.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: It's just it's just about the culture of the sport,
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: the culture of your program, the culture of the fan base.
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: And I think that's why it's important to Jed and
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: you know, all the other coaches all across the country.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Tony caster Cone is what it's the voice of your
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the Washington Husky's joining us right here on Chuck and
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Buck in the Morning Talks after dark tonight. It'll start
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: at six thirty, but we'll be way ahead of six
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: thirty to get you ready for the event. This evening.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Demon Williams Junior for a lot of people,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: first time seeing him play football and the number one
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later on today. So your
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: perspective from your view as the voice of the Huskies,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: his off season and where he's at right now being
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a Washington Husky when it felt close like.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He was going to be leaving the program.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: So there's just this is experienced in two drastically different ways.
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: It's experienced either from the outside, which is a fans perspective,
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: which is you know, media, you know, all all of
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: most of Husky Nation, right, and and that's the that
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: was a very weird what we'll call it, seventy two
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: to ninety six hours back in early January. And that's
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: the last you know, taste in your mouth and all
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: that stuff, and it feels a little bit weird, and
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: that's totally understandable, and you kind of sit with that
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: for a long time. Then there's the perspective from the inside,
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: which is like, dude, this three months ago feels like
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: three years ago, right, Like this happened so long ago.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: There's been so much work put in since then.
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: You know, they have bought one hundred percent in to
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: their junior star starting quarterback. They're happy to have him back.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: He's leading the offense. They are, you know, a quarter
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: of the way deep into trying to make a push
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: to the college football playoff, like that started in early January,
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: and we are a quarter of the way to January first,
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: so we're more than a quarter. So like it's ancient
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: history to them, and I think what that means is
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: good news for a Husky nation. He's all in, This
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: team is all in with him, and they are ready
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: to you know, fire up the cannons and charge full
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: speed ahead into the fall. And it's a good thing
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: because I think they're really gonna need him and they're
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: gonna need him at his best. And you know, it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: a really compelling schedule this year. It gives them a
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: chance to kind of ramp up a little bit just
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: from from from a national strength of schedule perspective, the
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: most of the toughest games are kind of backloaded but
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: you know, I think there's obviously, I mean, it's college football.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: You know, there's lots of traps and land mines along
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: the way, including in Week one you have a rivalry
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: game against Washington State, so it's it's gonna be a
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: really exciting run. But you know, I think these guys
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: are fired up to have them on in their corner.
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: And I think he under new quarterbacks coach and JP Losman,
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: is like really looking to take the next step in
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: his game and really actually be a Heisman candidate this year,
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: which is just gonna mean he's gonna have to play
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: a little bit better in the fourth quarter against the
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: elite competition. He's gonna have to avoid those interceptions. You know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: I noticed something interesting looking at the stats earlier this week.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: All eight of his.
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: Interceptions last year were on first down. Not that there's
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: ever a good time to throw an in herse, but
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: it's like, man, that's like early in the drive, right,
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: So you know, just cleaning up some of those things.
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: And you know, I think now having twenty six college
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: football games under his belt, you know, now he's going
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: to be a real true veteran of this whole sport
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: as he moves forward to leave this team this.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Year, all right, as somebody's got their you know, ear
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: close to the program. I mean, you're there for spring practices.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: You know who's creating the buzz at spring practice. Maybe
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: somebody that's a Husky fan listening right now doesn't know.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So they're going to show up Friday, and who should
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: they have their eyeballs on based on who's creating buzz
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: at spring practice.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, let's go kind of, you know, through the position groups.
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: I think that you know, running back, You've got probably
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: the three most experienced running backs on the team. All
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: we're out with injuries this year. Jordan Washington got her
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: early in spring practice Day three, Jade and Lamar the
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: transfer from Oregan's played a ton of college football, and
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: then Trey Cooley is kind of a journeyman through college
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: football who's transferred in. He's got a thousand rushing yards
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: in his career, but he's recovering from an injury that
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: cost him last season as well. So Quaid car a
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: red shirt freshman, a young kid from Survey High School,
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: which has been just such a great connection for Jed
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: and his staff has really looked the part of a
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: starting running back this year number twenty one. He had
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: a couple carries last season as a true but man,
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: you know he's got some big time potential wide receiver.
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: They went out and they had not one, not two,
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: but three high four star recruits that they plucked out
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: of the South, one from Texas, one from Louisiana, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: one from Oklahoma. And all three of these true freshman
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: wide receiver have the ability and opportunity to make an
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: instant impact. Tres Davis is number twelve, Jordan Clay is
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: number eleven, Mason James is number six. So those are
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: all new guys. Keep an eye on them. You graduate
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: Quintin Moore at the tight end position. Baron Naoni comes
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: in as kind of the run blocking specialist off one edge,
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: so you know he'll be a tight end. And then
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: big seventy six at left tackle. Cody Green is a
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: true freshman start as a true freshman, yeah yeah, in
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: the Big Ten Conference, so he will protect him on's
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: blindside and that's a good look at the offense. Number
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: five Derek Coleman Bruce the highest recruit in the state
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: of Washington, a game wrecker on the defensive line, is
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: really exciting and a true freshman. Number eleven Ramzach Frewin
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: is really rising up the depth start he could start
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: at edge rusher. He's going to be a really exciting
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: player this year as well. And then at the defensive
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: back position, Emanuel Carnally transfers in from Virginia. He was
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: a really good one for the Cavaliers last year on
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: a winning program. He'll be a starting corner opposite Dylan Robinson.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: And then you know, the safeties have some experience that
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: they bring back. One of my favorites on the team.
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: New incomer transfer from San Diego State, number ninety three,
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: Hunter the Hunter.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: We've got Hunter Green.
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: You know, he's got one heck of a Husky legacy
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: story and you should look into him. But he's got
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: one heck of a strong leg as well, with six
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: in the nation and punning last year. So a lot
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: of newcomers, a lot of people to get familiar with
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: and come on out and support them tonight.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be great. Said, did you do anything? I've
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: had a transformation since cam and everybody has seen you.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, did you go like a human growth hormones?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: So you've put on like twenty five pounds of muscle
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: or anything like that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: I would love to say that I've put on twenty
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: pounds of muscle, much like.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Ex.

  Speaker 9: Three Alexander or something like that, but unfortunately, no, I'm
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: still I'm still holder.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Status at well, did you at least like grow a
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: mullet at one bar?
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd be the guy with a one bar across
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: my face mask cold.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Do at least I grow a mullet or get a
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: tan at the very minimum. I mean, you got to
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: look a little bit different for all your friends you're
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: seeing them for the first time in a while. Yeah.
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: No, maybe maybe the post the post spring game of vacation.

  Speaker 9: Hopefully I could pick a couple of little sun raised.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, very good. All right, So so it gets started tonight.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: When do your activities? When do you actually get going
• 29:17

  Speaker 2: and the goal is forty. I mean you're gonna get
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: some walk ups, especially when you're not charging for tickets.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Well, and especially when people say, oh, well you know what,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it's a nice night. Yeah, maybe we will go down there.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think they're going to eclipse forty thousand
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: comfortably for this evening. And yes, I did want to clarify.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: In the middle of that, I just I started hearing
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: him answer it like I had asked something stupid, like
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: why do coaches like sold out crowds. I don't think
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: that's how you ask the obviously, well I don't know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: but it felt like he was answering that it that way,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh gosh, I got to clear this up.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: But but I do wonder, like why it is so important.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I've asked Jedfish this, like this spring game and having
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: people that the spring game, why is it? Because the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: game doesn't count, right, I mean, you're not going to
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: win or lose.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Well, and if you do, it's your own record. Yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it's just yourself.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a showcase of the players old and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: new that, you know, just to remind people little appetizer
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: of what's coming this fall.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: And yet in the South, you know, they'll they'll bring hundreds,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: one hundred thousand people out to watch the spring game
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and it's not you know, obviously we're not as rabid
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: as what the South is about their college football anywhere
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: else in the country, not just in the Pacific Northwest.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: But it's very important for Jedfish. It was important to
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Kaylin to bore. It's always been important to the Walk.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: They want a huge crowd for this spring game. Uh
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: and forty thousand probably is a nice goal, But I
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: know he wants a sellout, I mean, and he wants
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: to eventually get it to the point where people are
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: so dog football crazy that they're not going to miss
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: this event, a free event where they get to see
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: this thing showcase beautiful weather. It's going to be I'm
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: sure a great Washington sunset here tonight and you can
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: just be a part of it. And so we shall see.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: But it is hugely important to college football head coaches
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: that this spring game is a big attraction with their
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: fan base.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will tell you this, If the sunset
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: tonight is anything like the sun rise this morning, that's
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: gonna be a okay.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are driving to work now with like sunlight.

• 33:27
  Speaker 2: more at.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Sunset and people do like that. I love what you're
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: doing with this. Yeah, thank you.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Let's get it started. We left off of the letter
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Q yesterday. Q is for a questionable And I say
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: this because maybe what I'm about to say is highly questionable,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: and yet I think it's worth a question. Therefore it's questionable.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Bryce Miller, So he's reabbing right now, and he's what
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: they're doing right is trying to buy some time. They're
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: trying to buy some Number one, make sure he's one
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: hundred percent healthy. That's number one. And then number two,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: we've got to build up his innings because he sat
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: for a while with his oblique injury, and so we
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you know, he's a starting pitcher, so we start low
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: and we give him a certain small pitch count, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: then he built up to forty seven pitches and then
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I think last night he pitched even more and pitched
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: well last night. So the building process. And then the
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: third thing, which I don't know if anybody's going to admit,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: but you're also trying to buy some time to try
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: to figure out this six man rotation as well.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: So this is I just throw this out as a question.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, we have a Matt Brash injury right now, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: it sounds like it's not going to be that serious,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure they're gonna rest him for a little while.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Is it out of the question actually to just go
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: ahead and activate Bryce Miller and maybe just for a
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: little while while he's building up his pitches, that he
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: could kind of fill the Brash role until because I
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: think Bryce Miller would be make a fantastic relief pitcher.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Now we want him to be a starting pitcher. There's
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: more value there, and he's got the talent and the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: skill and the durability. I say that about an injured guy,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: but the durability. We know that he's going to be
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: a starting pitcher for the team, and I don't want
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: to change that about him now or anytime in the
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: near future. But if he's just rehabbing and we've got
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: him on a pitch count and we don't think Brash
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: is going to be out for that long and we
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: could really use somebody to maybe fill a high leverage situation,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: can we get him activated like now, like today. I mean,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: he just pitched last night, so he couldn't pitch tonight.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: But I'm just I'm just wondering if that sounds out
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: of the question that Bryce Miller could while he's working
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: up his pitch count just kind of fulfill a role
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: out of the bullpen until he's ready to be a starter,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: and maybe that buys you a little extra time.
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I definitely see what you're saying and where you're going
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: with it, and I don't hate the idea in theory,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: but obviously, with him working up his pitch count, he's
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: not doing that every two days, right, He's pitching every
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: five still, so then I worry, Well, now you're back
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: to kind of having someone you can't use very often
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: and you can only use them every five days. Well, right,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: and then does he even in going in and relief,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: does he even get enough pitches?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: But even if it's just one time, yeah, even if
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: it's just okay, he pitched last night, So it kind
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: of blows the whole idea out of the water. But
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: if Matt Brash, you don't want to put him necessarily
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: on the injury or maybe he does have to go
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: on the injured list, you know, And I think we're
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: probably gonna hear that he will be put on the
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: injury list. We'll see. He's acting like it's not that
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: big a deal. But if you could fill his role
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: a couple of times over the course of that ten
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: days with Bryce Miller and then Bryce Miller with his
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: extra work just you know, throws the bullpen session afterwards
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: in order to get the arm strength back. I don't know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, just a way to get him back on
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: the team, not make it look like you're gonna stay
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: down there until we can make this decision with Castillo,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: so he can fill a role and then Brash us down,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: and so we would like to fill that with somebody
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: capable as opposed to bringing up yet another, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Tacoma reliever who's not as proven.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get creative.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I like that you're thinking out beside the box.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get creative with how we're gonna manage
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: all of these arms in the interim and then eventually
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: long term. I said this yesterday, I'll say it again.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, eventually we're gonna have to make
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: a decision on the five man rotation. I don't want
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: to go to the six man rotation. And if I
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: have to make the decision today, I'm sticking with Emerson Hancock.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I'm activating Bryce Miller, and Luis Castile moves to my bullpen.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: He's a long reliever at first, and then maybe if
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: there's no crack to get back into the starting rotation
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: because the other five guys are flourishing where Castillo is not,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: then Castillo could maybe start moving toward becoming a full
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: time reliever for the next year and a half and
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: moving back toward more of a high leverage kind of
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: role like John Smoltz did late in his career. So
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: that's my theory overall. But while we're trying to buy
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: time and waste time and keep everybody happy, you know,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I wonder if a Matt brash Iel Bryce Miller comes up,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: could pitch and relief a couple of times, Maybe he
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: goes two innings and not one because you can use him,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: you're trying to build up his pitch count. Maybe that's
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: a creative solution to like four different problems. Yeah, in
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: the interim until we make the final full term decision.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Well again, I like that you're thinking outside the box.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I like that it's something that we haven't had a
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: conversation about before. I had not thought of that as
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: an option at all. It would I don't see it
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: happening by any means. But yeah, but all that's it's
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: a fun conversation to have. And it's it's because, especially
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: in this current you know, potential six man issue, you
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: kind of got to look at everything and see, like,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: how can we fix this?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: What can we do?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: And you think, then, oh, well and you take Bryce
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Miller out of the bullpen and you put him in
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the starting rotation and just put Luis right on in there.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, swap him. That's the idea is you know,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: he's going to be a starting picture. I want him
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: to be a starting pitcher. But if he's not quite
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: ready to enter the starting rotation because he's not build
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: up arm strength wise, he's still throwing ninety eight and
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: he's striking people out down in Tacoma, Well, why couldn't
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: he do that for the Mariners right now for a
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: couple of innings until his arm strength is built up.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was just my thoughts. The fun idea.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, R is for RBI, also known as
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: runs batted in. Had I told you third that thirty
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: two games into the season, our leader and runs batted in.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Was Coal Young? Would you have believe me?
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: No?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: He is nineteen runs batted in.
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: So far this year.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: That crazy, That is crazy, Andy, because he seems to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: be doing it.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, you watch every game especially, I should say,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: if you watch every game, you are definitely recognizing the
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: contributions he's making on a regular basis. You'd be blind
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: not to. But it's kind of still understated the way
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: he's doing it.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people are talking about him locally nationally.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I mean they are going off on this guy about
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: how great he looks right now that he's entered. You know,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: he's gone from oh man, you know, had a hot
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and cold rookie season to now, I mean, he is
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: creating buzz everywhere. Everybody is walking away. I pressed with
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Cole Young, but statistically he leads us and runs batted
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: in right now. And in the sabermetric community, they've kind of,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: you know, they've moved away from the value of RBI.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: When I grew up, I mean, when you ran to
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the stat leaders, that's one of the first places you looked.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: It was one of the ways that you really did
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: place value on a major league hitter, how many runs
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: batted in. Well, the sabermetric community has decided that that's
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: really kind of contingent upon whether or not you're coming
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: to the plate with guys on base. So I get
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: the argument for why it might not be as telling
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: a statistic as we'd been led to believe.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: In the first hundred years of Major League baseball history.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: But I don't want you to move too far away
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: from it, because this game is still about driving in
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: runs and scoring runs. So Pete Rose used to tell
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: me all the time, the game's driving in run and
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: scoring runs. So the combined of scoring runs and knocking
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: them in, that's what it's all about. So you better
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: believe that those are important statistics. And if Cole Young
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: is sitting there in the eight hole for you more
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: often than not, and he's leading you and runs batted in,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: does that not suggest that he's coming through in those
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: situations with runners in scoring position more often than not,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: more often than others on the team who are being
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: paid a lot more money to be those run batted
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: in producers. It's Cole Young that's been coming through at
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: time after time after time, situation after situation, whether it's
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: against the lefty against a righty, whether it's with guys
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: on base, it's starting an inning, it's Cole Young that
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: seems to be coming up with the clutch hits more
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: often than anyone else on this baseball team.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is definitely reliable, and he has his six
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: game streak to prove it, s.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Says for Stove thirty, the brand new name of our
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: new podcast debuted yesterday. Anders Hurst and I do an
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: off season Mariners podcast called Stove Not the Stove, No,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: not Hot Stove, not the Hot Stove, Stove and So
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: we had a few people that have reached out to
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: us and said, why do you guys have to stop this?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: We are enjoying the podcast. Can you do it during
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: the regular season. So Anders and I put our heads
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: together and we've decided to come up with a twice
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: per month show where we're going to on the fifteenth
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: and on the thirtieth of every month, we are going
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: to record a just an season, up to date Mariners podcast.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: So it was the thirtieth yesterday, thirtieth of April, closing
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: out the month, we recorded our very first episode of
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Stove thirty and it is available to you at ninety
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: three to three KJR dot com. So wanted to let
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: you know of the things I said, just to provide
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: you a teaser so that you can go listen to
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: the entire hour long, fifty two minute presentation. I made
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the statement in this Colt Emerson Versus JP Crawford watch
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: that we have going on that I JP Crawford should
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: be our shortstop right now. We know that Cold Emerson's
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: going to be our shortstop of the future, and I
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: think JP Crawford should be given every opportunity to keep
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: that job. And if Cold Emerson is yelling at the Mariners,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I'm ready, and if JP's playing well, then we find
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: out another way Colt Emerson can contribute to the team.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: So that's what my root interest where it lies. And
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: I want JP Crawford to end up being the shortstop
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: on a World Series team in Seattle, even if it's
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: his final thing that he does as a Seattle Mariner
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the last year of his contract. I would like nothing
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: more than to JP Crawford catch the last out of
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six World Series and that's his send
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: off as a Seattle Mariner, and then Cold Emerson takes
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: over as our starting shortstop next year. But the bold
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: statement made on the first episode of Stove thirty the
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: one that's going to make it famous. Okay, I do
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: believe there will come a time this year where I
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: will come on these airwaves and say it's time Cold
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Emerson needs to be our starting shortstop.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: He's just better than JP Crawford.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: It's not yet, and I don't know when it's going
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: to be, but I do believe in my gut that
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: there's going to come a moment during this season where
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to come on the airwaves and I am
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: going to make that statement that Colt Emerson should be
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: the shortstop and it's time for JP Crawford to take
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: a different role.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I will not be surprised to hear that.
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: I will tell you that.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then two quick ones, because I promise i'd
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: get in five letters. T is four treatment. Hopefully Brendan
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Donovan got the treatment he needs on his growin injury.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: And when I say treatment, you know that means grointment.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: That's why he's going to spend the minimum amount of
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: time on the injured list. So the statement is that
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: he's going to return at some point during this Homestand
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: I got a sneaky suspicion, Ashley, that he's.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: There waiting with Bells on tonight. I hope, so I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: do too.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: I hope he's in the lineup tonight. And if he
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: is in the lineup, it means they used grointment. If
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: he's not, it means they don't have it on the
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: shelves and shame on the Mariners. And finally, you is
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: for Unit, as in the Big Unit, who we will
• 46:31

  Speaker 3: music festival.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Don't even know he was a country musical.

• 47:44
  Speaker 3: don't forget your hat, your plaid shirt and your jorts.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Who talked him into it was like work people or
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: is his wife a country music that's a great question.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I believe he doesn't strike me the country music.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like he'd listened to some country oh, in
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: a pinch, Yeah, maybe a pinch.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: But to go for a weekend, to take a day
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: off work so that you can go to.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: A festival, certain that they are paying for it. I
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: don't think he bought tickets or anything.
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: But even if you but if you've got a free,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: you know, trip for three day week into the pottery festival,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: you better like pottery. You better not be going just
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: because it's free.
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't go to a pottery festival. I would go
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: to a country music festival.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I like country music.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We get asked, but don't we
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: get asked to go my favorite? But I like it's
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: my favorite? No way?
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, country music is your favorite. Yeah, I did not
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: even know that.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: You learned something new every day?
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Was your favorite country artist?
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I really like Morgan Wallin, even though he's done some
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: bad things.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: You should have gone to the concert this weekend. It's
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: wasted on ps it is.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Davis is great. Yeah, I'm not an old school.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Country I didn't get into country music till probably fifteen
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah right, Sam Hunt, he's great.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I talked a lot more about country music than I
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: was playing on Yeah. No worries, No worries. Let's get
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: to our eight stories of the day before we run
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: out of time. We're going to begin with the night
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs both NBA and NHL, and what a
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: night for the state of Minnesota. And let's face it,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: those people don't have a lot to root for.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: So where you girls? From Chasta Laser? But I went
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: to high school in wipe Burleigh.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Go Bears, oh Ky Well, from Chasta to Lasour All
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Minnesotans had something to celebrate last night. Both the Wolves
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: and the Wild not only one series last night, but
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: they eliminated massive favorites from the playoffs in order to
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: do so. Starting with the Wild, who took out the
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Dallas Stars. We're not going to shed a tear about that.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Go Wild, Yeah, get wild on it.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, five to two win. There a four to two
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: series triumph for the Wild, followed by the war Wolves,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: who took out Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets despite
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: their missing three of their leading scores due to injury,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: including their best player, Aunt Edwards. It was incredible. I
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: mean they were on their third different ant of the series. Yeah,
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: just six games. They lost Aunt Edwards, they lost the
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Vincenzo earlier. He's not one of the three ants. But
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: then they went with Desomnu who replaced Ant and looked
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: just he played the part. He had forty three points
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: in the game, and then he got hurt. So they
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: have to go to another Illinois product, Terrence Shannon Junior,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: and then he plays great last night as well, so
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: ant Lis who knew they had that kind of ant depth,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: but it's like they got an ant farm in Minnesota
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: and they found a different guy to be a major
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: contributor in his absence every single game, and they ended
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: up knocking out the Nuggets and six.
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Crazy, And they needed it last night too, because the
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Nuggets did make it a game. I mean, it was close,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: and it looked like the Nuggets were maybe get to
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: pull off, you know, actually getting the women coming back,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: and then.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: They're like, h no, we're done playing with you. We're
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: just going to shut you down now.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Well, the star of the night and the star of
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: the series, Fedi ways owned Jaden McDaniels, the former Husky,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: scored thirty two points in the close out, added ten rebounds,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: and played his typical elite defense. We talked about this
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: to start the show today, and I'm glad I got
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of verification on our text line at four nine,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: four or five one, because I was like, wait a minute,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. But in our time watching
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels play for the Huskies, was there not
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: this constant feeling like does he even want to be
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: out there? Like he played without passion? It felt like
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: at the college level. And now he's a young man
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: when he's nineteen eighteen, nineteen years old and then makes
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: the early jump to the National Basketball Association, so we
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: give him a little bit of license to mature, which
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: he certainly has done. To go from a guy that
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: when he wore a Husky uniform, I'm questioning whether even
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: likes the sport to one of the great warriors in
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: the NBA. That dude is fierce, and he started off
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: by being a fierce defender, which takes a lot of
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: willingness and will to get there. You got to outwork
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: everybody else. If you become an elite defender, and now
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: we're seeing he's added offensive game to his repertoire. And
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: even though there were three ants, even though they had
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: the alien ant farm of.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: The past best Michael Jackson cover the past.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Few games, it was Jade McDaniels that led, both as
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: a player and as a leader. He led them to
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: this series win. So good on Jayden for what you've become.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: My friend. Sorry I questioned you.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: You are a.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Warrior, you are an outstanding basketball Yeah.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: You figured your stuff out as really yeah, and in
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: a big way. And it was fun to watch.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Well can they beat the Spurs? No, I don't think so.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Probably not, But they'll get the Spurs and Wimby in
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: round number two whenever that starts, probably in June. Item
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: number two, we weren't done with favorites being shown the
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: old fishing pole. As in the National Hockey League, another
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: power got knocked from the playoffs last night. Garris mctavile.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: It's only going to be the second time in their
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: last thirty two games since the Olympics that the Ducks
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: are going to go through a game without trailing. Edmonton's
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: reign as the Western Conference champions is con got.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Out shot him by one catch a cup.
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: Nick Taylors clear, it's back towards center crowd wed at
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: eight long years for this. They'll carry you into the fish.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Sportsnet, they're broadcasters, letting the moment breathe there toward the end,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: as the Anaheim Mighty Ducks pull off a huge upset
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: and the round one, I know they're not the Mighty
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Ducks anymore. The Anaheim Ducks upset. Well, I wish they
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: wouldn't wear orange because I thought for like three seconds
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: that Edmonton was them.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's too much orange now, and then the yeah,
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: you've got the Phillies are also orange.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: You don't need more orange. Well, arguably that was sports
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Net with a call there. Arguably the best basketball player
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: in the world and the best hockey player, and I
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: know there's an argument for both of those, but there's
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: an argument for both of them as well. Best hockey
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: player in the world were knocked from the playoffs on
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: the exact same night and in upset fashion.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: No, you hate to see the Oilers get knocked out
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs, don't you. Sorry? Connor McDavid sucking. I
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: tell you who hates the Oilers Anders he hates it
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: is weird he the.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Ducks eliminated Connor McDavid and the Oilers with the identical
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: five to two score that the wild eliminated the Stars
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: with n a six game series victory, same as Wild
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: over Stars. Meanwhile, the NBA's Atlanta Hawks were also can
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: cooned last night, but that was to be expected. The
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Knicks were up fifty before halftime. We've never seen a
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: second quarter like that in NBA playoff history. They were
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: up fifty before halftime.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: I looked at the score at one point, it was
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: like forty four to fifteen. I was like, well, this
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: has to be a typo.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: New York figured something out in the middle of the series.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I talked to Spencer about that. They figured something out.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: They made some sort of adjustment and Atlanta could not adjust.
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: Back.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: New York roll to a fifty one point series clincher
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: and now might end up facing Philadelphia in the next round.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Philly forced a Game seven with Boston last night, winning
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: one oh six to ninety three, and so now they
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: will add the stage to themselves to try to pull
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: off yet another first round NBA stunner. If they could
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: take out the Celtics and a Game seven tomorrow in Boston.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Don't put it past him. The team is fast. Joel
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Embiid is playing really good basketball right now. Paul George
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: looks healthy. They're a tough matchup for Boston, and I
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: feel bad that we didn't talk more about that when
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: we previewed the playoffs.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think anybody has
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: a Philadelphia player on their roster.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: No, I know they don't.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And frankly, the entire Green Jacket preview we did
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: on the NBA Playoffs, everybody seemed to be in agreement
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: that it was going to be a chalky tournament. And
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: we've already seen one major upset with Denver getting knocked out.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: We could see another one tomorrow. Tonight. You've got the
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: opportunity for the Orlando Magic to take out a one
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: seed in the Detroit Distance. So Orlando will host the
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Pistons tonight, up three to two. Cavaliers will be in Toronto.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: The Cavs are up three to two. Lakers won the
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: first three games of the series against the Rockets. The
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Rockets have won the last two and now they get
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: to play Game six at home, So the Lakers now
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: look in danger of blowing a three to zero series lead,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: which I don't think has ever happened in NBA first
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: round history that a team has blown a three to
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: zero series lead. And in the National Hockey League tonight,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay at Montreal, the Canadians could pull off a
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: huge upset by knocking off Tampa Bay tonight. They're up
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: three to two. Buffalo's up three to two on Boston.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: They'll be in Massachusetts tonight. Las Vegas is up three
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: to two on the Mammoth. They'll play in Utah tonight.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: So a lot of playoff action. Good luck trying to
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: match last night's excitement.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: That was fun.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's still gonna be fun Tonight's exist playoff time.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe, But there's other things to watch on a Friday night,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Plenty of things to watch on a Friday. We're gonna
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: have a very busy Friday night, and we'll talk about
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: the baseball team. They return home a couple nights in
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: their own beds Wednesday and Thursday night, a day off. Yesterday,
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: they're back to five hundred on the season with a
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: sixteen and sixteen record, and now they get ready to
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: welcome Kansas City. The song was inspired by the Kansasity Royals.
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: You know that.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I did not know that.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, she was on an airplane. Lord, that is not
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: my lord, No, but Lord, uh no, no, just Lord
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: the singer.
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say LNS on her license plate, right, just Lord.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: But she was flying back from somewhere and she looked
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: in the magazines in front of them, and there was
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: a magazine of George Brett and he was covered in
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: dirt from having slid during a baseball game. And she
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: found it very ironic that, you know, royals are so
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: prim and proper. And she looks and like, does that
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: say Royals across his jersey? And so it said Royals.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: And then he's covered in dirt and he's got tobacco
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: spit flying out of his mouth and everything else. And
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: she found that kind of ironic, and so it inspired
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: her to write Royals.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: I wish I had that talent. I just see a
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: picture and be like, well, that's crazy, I'm going to
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: write a hit single.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: And she's met George Brett like yeah, he knows the
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: story and they met and I like that. Yeah, And
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: so it's a whole thing.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: You in something new every day there you go especially
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: when you're listening to this show. Yeh.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: With five wins in their last six games, the Mariners
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: have officially dug out of their early season four and
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: nine hole for the first time since April third, when
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: they were four and four. Do the Mariners enter a
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: game without a losing record this year? Kansas City is
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: going to have one. They're twelve and nineteen, so they
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: still haven't dug out of their hole. A month ago,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: they were believed to be the best team arguably in
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: the American League Central, and yet they're off to a
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: twelve and nineteen start so far this season. So they're
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: going to try to get well against us, and we're
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: going to try to prove that we're no longer sick.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: We're going to try to get weller. Yeah, let's get weller.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Let's get the wellest.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Cole Reagan's will pitch for them. It's a left hander.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I'm scared too. It's the worst.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Brian Wu will pitch for us. Did I say them?
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Cole Reagan's will pitch for them. Brian Wu will pitch
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: for us. And he's coming off at just an unwoo
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: like performance that was awful.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: He was feeling unwoo, I guess and now he's gonna
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: get the wooliest first.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Pitch at six forty five, and this is on Apple TV, Yes,
• 1:00:27

  Speaker 2: is actually going to join us today at nine o'clock
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: to preview it. But Brendan Donovan might get activated tonight.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: We've heard during the homestand maybe tonight. And it sounds
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: like the Matt Brash injury was not as serious as
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: once feared. Hopefully that is the case. Finally, from the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Mariners tomorrow night, Randy Johnson number retired out at Team Mobile.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Will his fifty one go next to each hero's fifty
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: one or will they read them out? That's the question.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: So it's Big Unit weekend. And here's another little fun fact.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe you don't know big Unit people if you're laughing
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: a big unit. That's why it's big Unit. Has nothing
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: to do with how tall he is. That's a true
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: story too, all right. It the number four Dogs after
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: Dark is also happening tonight at six thirty. We had
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: Tony castra Cone, the voice of the Huskies, on with
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: us at seven o'clock this morning. He's got his year
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: close to the ground with the Huskies football program, and
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I asked him, who's creating the buzz at spring practice?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Who are the guys to watch tonight.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: We've got probably the three most experienced running backs on
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: the team all were out with injuries this year.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: So Quaid car a red shirt.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: Freshman, a young kid from Survey High School, which has
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: been just such a great connection for Jed and his staff,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: has really looked the part of a starting running back
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: this year. A number twenty one, he had a couple
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 9: carries last season as a true but man, you know,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: he's got some big time potential wide receiver. They went
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: out and they had not one, not two, but three
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: high four star recruits that they plucked out of the
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: South and all three of these true freshman wide receiver
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: have the ability and opportunity to make an instant impact.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: Tres Davis's number twelve, Jordan Clay is number eleven, Mason
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: James is number six, So those are all new guys.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: Keep an eye on them.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: And then big seventy six at left tackle, Cody Green
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: is a true freshman, so he will protect him on's blindside,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 9: and that's a good look at the offense.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Cody Green. He might be the guy creating the most
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: buzz true freshman to start at left tackle. I mean,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: usually head coaches don't start gushing about true freshmen ever,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: and yet Jed Fish is already doing it. So when
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: he's made that big of an impact on the head
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: coach who's typically tight lipped about such things, then you
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: know he's creating some buzz. So that's exciting. Hope you
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: are excited. You got Demon Williams wearing number one. You'll
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: get to see him for the first time wearing his
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: number one out on the field tonight. The game won't
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: kick off. The spring game won't kick off until six thirty,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: but it's a whole event, so Softy and Dick will
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: be broadcasting their show starting at three o'clock from out there,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: and then you'll have pregame at six and then the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: actual kickoff for the event will be at six thirty.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: So Tony and Cam and everybody's involved. The whole game
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: is going to be out there. We're sending some of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: our best to cover dogs after dark tonight at six thirty,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: and if you want to hear the defensive players to

  Speaker 2: Yesterday, on the Ian Furness radio program, he had NFL
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: draft pick Bo Stevens on his show That's Right. The
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft is now part of history, but we are
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: still stuck in the drafter math. And this week all
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: the shows had at least one draft pick on their
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: radio program. Bo Stevens joined Ian yesterday and talked about
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: the strange experience the NFL Draft turned out to be
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 11: I was honestly thinking I was gonna go day two.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: So I was like sweat and nervous second day and
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 11: then third Like I didn't go this second day, so
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: I was like, all right, I'm guessing maybe early tomorrow.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: And then didn't go in the fourth round, and I'm like, shoot,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 7: what's happening?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 11: Like did my name get lost on the board or something. Yeah,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 11: So then I was just like sweating profusely, like looking
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 11: at my parents like okay, is.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: This am I not got a good draft? Who knows?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 11: I thought I was pretty good. And then I'm getting
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 11: a call from Washington, and my first thought I was
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: like I saw Washington like commanders, I guess I'm going
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 11: to Washington, so my parents don't think it's Washington, DC.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: And then I hear Kirk Parrish. She's like, yeah, with
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 11: the Seahawks, and I'm like trying to tell my parents, like,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 11: it's not the Commanders, it's.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 7: Actually the Seahawks.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 11: Didn't even see him on the screen, and so then
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 11: they told me we traded up to get you and
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 11: they hadn't even shown him my TV. And I was like,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 11: holy crap, that's pretty cool.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: Story.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Bo Stevens, the guard out of Iowa
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: who the Seahawks traded up into the fifth round to
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: get used to pick from next year a fourth round
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: or to get into the fifth round because they didn't
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: expect him to be there available to them, And so
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: I got to know. You got to know him a
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: little bit yesterday on Ian's show. Again, if you want
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: to hear the entire conversation, you can find his podcast
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: at ninety three to three khr dot com. So officially, unofficially,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: the draft season comes to an end, single tier, but
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: we have to do this, we have to move on
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: from it. That's the way when draftmus rolls around again,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: it'll feel all.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: That more special something to look forward to next year.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, we could stretch it out over twelve months,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: but it's better.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: That we don't.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to argue with you there.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Rookie Mini Camp, by the way, starts today today, oh
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: my gosh, tomorrow, So two days of Rookie Mini Camp,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: and then they'll do another couple days hearing about a
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: week and then the next thing that certainly we will
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: devour as sports talk radio hosts, will be the schedule release,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: which will come in mid May. They still haven't pinpoint today,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: but I think the twelfth, thirteenth or fourteenth is gonna
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: fall on one of those days. And stuff too, of course,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: and no doubt about that, all right. Item number six
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: on our OHO it is Kentucky Derby Week. Tomorrow. The
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Derby will be held at legendary Churchill Downs in Wolville, Kentucky.

• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: the race, the actual race, won't be run until seven pm.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: That is a lot of mint julepsy.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: That is a lott of rednecks getting liquored in the infield.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you that much right now. A
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: lot of big hats, yeah, there's a there's a big
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: divide it is. Yea, there's the big hats in the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: stands and then there's the infield. That's how complete it
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: is a tale of two cities.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: But either way, they're all getting liquored up over ten hours,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: that's for sure.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: Ye Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay will be on hand.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: But yes, it's four o'clock our time, so seven o'clock
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: their time, be four o'clock our time is when the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: race will actually go down.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Renegade is the favorite at four to one.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Dick Girardi, legendary handicapper, was on our radio show yesterday
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: and I asked him for his pick to win.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 10: So I like the non Bourbon, the Japanese horse number
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 10: seven at the moment about fifteen to one at bet
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 10: online dot AG. I suspect that's what he'll go off
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 10: at in the race. And Japanese have come. They came
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 10: really close to winning this race two years ago with
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: Forever Young. He probably was the best horse in a race.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 10: He just had enough difficulty that he didn't finish in first.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 10: But I mean watching the non Bourbons three races in Japan,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 10: you know when you see a great athlete in sports,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: whatever it is. When they're just they're just different than
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 10: the other ones. That's what I'm seeing on the videos
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 10: that the non bourbon and it's interesting. He's Japanese out
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: and trained, and we'll have a Japanese jockey, but he's
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 10: a Kentucky bread so he's coming back home to Kentucky.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: So that's my pick to win it can so yes,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: win it. He also gives the trifecta again, go to
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: the website if you want to hear it all.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: I don't have all that done.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on now, Yeah, I' run thirteen interviews in
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: one segment.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, nobody got time for that exactly.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: The Kentucky Oaks, which is a really big deal there
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: as well, and it always runs the day before it's
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: being run tonight, and for the first time ever, it's
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: going to be televised on NBC. If you're interested horse racing,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: people are always interested in the Kentucky Oaks. But if
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: you've never experienced it before and you kind of like
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: horse racing, may be worth checking out tonight. Another thing
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: to put on your viewership schedule tonight. But five forty
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: pm is when the race will go off and that

• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: against the Kansas City team, not just the Mariners squaring
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: off against one this weekend. But of course the Sounders
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: are going on the road.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Remember when Sporting Casey used to be really good at soccer?
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: I don't recall that one.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they used to be really good. Well, they
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: got bad fast, and they have the worst team in
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: the MLS right now, with seven losses and only one
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: win and nine matches so far this year. The Sounders
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: have only lost once so far in eight matches, and
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: yet somehow there are three teams ahead of them and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: the Western standings. Believe it or not, The match is
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: going to start tomorrow at eleven thirty am our time,

  Speaker 2: Jessica Campbell, who made cracking history, made hockey history. She
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: is leaving the Seattle Kraken after four years as an
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: assistant head coach.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: She's leaving.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: If you ever attended a cracking game, whenever they showed
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Jessica Campbell, it's probably the biggest applause that you will
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: hear all night long that is not related to an
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: actual goal being scored. Yeah, she's got a lot of
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: fans up in the stand. She's been a great inspiration
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: to a lot of young women, certainly, and yet she's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: going to be leaving after four years here. I don't
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: know if it was a mutual thing or if she's
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: got a lot of other interests across the league. But
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I am certain she's going to land on her feet
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: somewhere and have some options going forward. But Jessica Campbell
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: and the krack and made history by naming an assistant
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: head coach female assistant head coach, the first in the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: history of the league.
• 1:10:31

• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: a new side dish which I just had to read
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: because I thought it'd make you laugh really hard because
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: we talk about pendergas Law quite a bit.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they changed a couple of them to make it
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: more definitive, but there's still the one pender gas.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: Law that is still out there, one guy that had

  Speaker 1: Yeah, pendergast Law.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: And I think they're actually they've got to be doing

• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: I was the first person, after years of pendergast Slaw ads.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: I was the first person to notice that they ran
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: the two together.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: It got worse, Like it used to not be bad,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: but the one guy that did it it made it
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: really obvious.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: It sounds delicious by the way I really want. There's

• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: You know what is?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: It's kind of strange because he kind of holds his
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: hands low, and I wondered if that was something that
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: was going to get corrected and they would try to
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: get his bat up higher, that he would end up
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: just popping up a lot of stuff with his bat low.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: But I guess that's the way he's always hit, because
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: when they showed that little kid video of him, like
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: the hands were low. So that's just what he got
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: used to hitting in that way. But he is a
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: line drive machine. I mean, I'm not sure you'd ever
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: teach that technique.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Some people just have.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: I always am entertained by the people that Babe Ruth
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: couldn't hit today, and I so well, not the way
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: he swung a bat. But if Babe Ruth grew up
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: today with nutrition and the right coaching, and if he
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: had to face one hundred mile peror hitters, there's no
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: question that Babe Ruth had an incredible and maybe matched
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: ability to hit a baseball with a stick like unmatched
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: in the history of the world. Because I'm not even
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: sure he practiced, Yeah, okay, and so I think that
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: if he were playing today, they would figure out not
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: to bat that way where he crossed his feet one
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: over the other in the batter's box. And so it's
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: a long way for me saying that Cole Young's just
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: got a nice ability to hit a baseball. He's a
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: bit of a line drive machine. He doesn't seem to
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: be vulnerable in just his second year of existence to
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: lefties or righty's doesn't seem to matter one way or
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: the other. He hits the ball to all fields. He
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: is as good as anybody on this team to just
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: hitting a baseball right up the middle. And now we've
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: also seen his ability to if you put it inside
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: just a hair, I can pull it over the wall.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: And by a good one hundred and fifty feet. I mean,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: I got that kind of power.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Just test me.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: So he's a bit of a revelation. And I've said
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: it earlier this week for those that haven't heard it.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't hesitate one bit to give him a similar
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: cult Emerson contract, and we just locked down our second
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: base and shortstop for the next decade.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me at all. I faded that.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we've got from the three six oh
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: sep Ashley, your thoughts on Zuckerberg's interest in the Seahawks.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I'll just sum it up with one word.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: No, you know that you won't give him your thoughts
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: or her my thoughts on him. Oh are just no,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: It's just no. He has said that he is an
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: an idiot, he is an interested he doesn't know where
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: it's coming from.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: I hope that is the truth.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: And the iPhone guy the same thing, Cook, Yeah, he
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: said the same thing.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know where this is coming to. People were
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: just taking super rich people and saying, well.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: That makes sense, yeah, just starting their own reasons.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Because those people are super rich doesn't mean they have
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: any clue how to own a sports franchise.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: I don't want either one of them. No, So I
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: agree with Ashley.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: No, No, exactly, sup Chuck. Where did the nickname the
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: unicorn come from?
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: Oh oh?
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: I told this probably my first year being on the air,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: but it has been a while since I said it.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: I have never been married.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 7: I was never.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: I was planning to be married. I was, you know,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: that was part of the plan in the big picture
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: of life, but I never was going to make it
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: a priority. It's like, if I found the right situation.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up with I grew up in
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: one of those households where the parents just yelled at
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: each other all the time and there was no love
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: between them, and they eventually divorced. Thank goodness. Yeah, they
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: divorced and got away from each other. It made all
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: of our lives a lot easier. But I was like,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: I'm never going to have that.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to have that.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to paint myself into that corner. That
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: was the idea behind it. So I had said when
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: I first arrived that the only way that I would
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: ever get married is if I found a unicorn, like
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: somebody that checked every single one.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Of my boxes. Somebody so rare that they could check exactly.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: And so when I moved her up here from Phoenix
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: with me, the it was, oh, you must have found
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: your unicorn. So and then they had the conversations of
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: that like all right, yes, I found So she became
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: the unicorn at that stage. And now that's all anybody
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: knows her. As if I said a man to people
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: wouldn't even.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Know who's that. Yeah, yeah, girlfriend exactly. And it turns out,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: by the way, she has flaws.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 8: Oh what.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: Pender gas flaws.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: Pender gas flaws.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So you know when you're when you think
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: that you're gonna find perfection, it just doesn't exist there.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: And I believe me, she thought she was getting something
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: special too, And I can tell every time she looks
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: at me across the room what happened.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna choke.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: All right, we got this one, sub Ashley, Can you
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: give me any insight on how to convince my wife
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: that more than two TVs in our house is normal
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: and a good thing to do?
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, first off, I need to separate.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: Do they have I'm curious if the two six has
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: only two TVs in the whole house, because.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: Way more than that. But I'm going to.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: Assume you're going for two TVs three TVs in the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: living room, and I would say you're not going to
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: be able to convince her it's normal, but you are
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: going to be able to convince her that your friends
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: will all be really impressed. And when they come over
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: to watch sports at your house and have you can
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: you can. If she's a social person, it works out
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: great because then people want to come to watch the
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: sporting events at your house because you can have multiple
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: on at the same time.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: And here's the real kicker where you'll get her.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: If there's two games on at night, you can have
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: them on TVs two and three, and you and her
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: can still watch a show on TV one.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Now, I have a couple of buddies and they both
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: are in the sports business. And I have one who's
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: got nine televisions in his man cave, and then I've
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: got another one and I think he's got like thirteen
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: in his And so there are people that go a
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: lot further than Ashley's three TVs. The interesting thing about
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Ashley's three TVs. If you're one of those people that
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I don't want three TVs cluttering.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: I want my living room to look streamlined. She has
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: two of them, like on rollers? Yeah, so yeah, so yeah,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: so she can just has the one standard and then
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: yeah she can just if we want to watch a
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: second thing. And I would have thought if you would
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: have told me that, I would have said, oh, I
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: don't know if I would have liked that. But the
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: way you've got it set up, I'm like, oh, I
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: do like it.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: It works out, it does work right. Well, I will
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: say we have never moved them from their current location.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: They are on rollers. They have never rolled the one
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: roll outside?
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: Can you roll one outside?
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: Or do you already have one?
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: We already that was in the garage in the winter
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: and out to the patio in the summer? Okay, yeah, yeah,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: and uh two O six did right back? He only
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: has two in the whole house. Well, we have to
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: have a much deeper conversation than two in the living here.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: That's all right, your wife needs Yeah, we gotta we
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: gotta update this.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Do we have anything else or we need to wrap
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: it up here?
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've got Oh gosh, there was another
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: one I had for you, but he didn't quite understand
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: this one. Oh, this will make you laugh though us up,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: Who the hell is Clifford Taylor the fourth because the
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: podcast promo.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: That we're doing. Yeah, no one knows, No one knows.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: You're just as it's just as much of a mystery
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: to you as it is.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: And this is a good lesson for anybody out there
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: if you will have ever been interested in having your
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: thoughts heard on a somewhat mass scale, and you could
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: use an extra buck or two or a little more
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: attention to it. Turns out iHeart won't turn anyone down
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: for a podcast, and.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: They'll promote the crap out of it.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, which is more than they'll do
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: for us. So you've got that going for So there's
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: an avenue out there for anybody. I don't think they've
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: told anyone no yet.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, here's a good one for us. Okay, this
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: is sup Chuck.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: Since you get up so early and those sporting events
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: are at night, how does your schedule work?
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: Probably? Oh yeah, okay, that's a good one. That's a
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: good one. So what I do is like from now
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: so I'll close out here at ten o'clock today with Ashley.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: She and I will meet usually for a half hour
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: to an hour, and then I will I mean, you know,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: you never know if you have other meetings, but I'm
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: usually we're usually out here by noon round noon, and
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: then I and doctors don't recommend this, then I will
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: eat lunch because I really haven't had anything to eat
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: all day, and then I will take a nap. That's
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: what the doctors don't reckon. Yeah, they do recommend eating,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: but you're not right. You're not supposed to do that.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: But we don't have a choice. So I take a
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: nap every single day, and if I don't, I'm angry.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: And so that'll be a couple of hours. It's more
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: than a nap. I sleep in shifts, so a couple
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: of hours there. Then I wake up no later than
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: three usually, and then I start again like it's morning again,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: so I do morning coffee again. I send the show
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: text to Ashley, Bucky Ps and Jessemin and just to
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: tell them what we're going to what I'm thinking we're
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: going to talk about the next day, so that everybody
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: has an idea in their heads of what we're going
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: to talk about, it can start formulating their thoughts on
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: those things.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: And then I start watching sports at four o'clock and
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: then you know, there's some variants, you know, Yeah, I
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: mean go out to dinner a couple times per week,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: but pretty much sports starts at four o'clock. And then
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: our sports typically start at seven yep. So you can't
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: go to bed before that because we got to talk
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: about it at six am the next morning. So I
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: usually stay up till ten o'clock. Then I take a shower,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: then I wind down, usually in bed by eleven and
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: up by three.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: There you go, and then started off and then do
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: an hour of prep from home and then do thirty
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: minutes from prep here.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: And that's how it goes. Yeah, when you say it,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: it sounds exhausting.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. That's the thing though, like like it's
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: really the job. I'm not complaining about it. I got
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: baby soft hands. It's like I've never worked a day
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: in my life.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: But it just doesn't stop at ten am. No, like
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: the demand of how many sports we need to watch
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: just to be aware, if nothing else, even if we're
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: not just filled with knowledge from the night before, just
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: to be aware of what happened the night before. I
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: mean I always feel naked if Bucky or Ashley brings
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: something up that happened last night and I have no
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: idea what they're talking about. Fortunately it doesn't happen that frequently.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: But on the other hand, that really means I'm spending
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of my time watching sports.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, last text, by the way from the three six.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm starting a new podcast, the pendercast Law. It

  Speaker 2: slow start as you look at it from your perspective,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: somebody that watches the Angels and so you see the
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: Mariners quite a bit. Do you feel like this team
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: will eventually take hold in this division?
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 10: I think so.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, certainly it's there to be grabbed at this point.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 8: You look around at the standings, and no one has
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 8: done that to this point, barely anybody over five hundred
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 8: in the entire American League for that matter.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 7: Let alone in the West. So it is available to
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 7: the Mariners.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 8: It's available there, but right now across all three region
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 8: I would say, and you know, the As have played well,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 8: but they've got a lot of issues with their pitching staff.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 8: You know, if they if they pulled off offensively at all,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 8: you feel like they'll they'll start losing some games.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 7: Texas has played really well. They might, They might. I
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 7: would say those would be the three teams that I
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 7: would be the most likely to walk away with the
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 7: West in the end.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 8: But I don't I don't know how the Rangers or
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 8: the A's would have enough staying power over six months
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: to to do better than what Seattle can do.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my pod casting partner yesterday pointed out there are
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: three teams with winning records in the entire American League
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: right now. Three That seems crazy. How hard a time
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: do you have with baseball fans and trying to convince
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: them that it's early because it is early. I mean,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: we have one hundred and thirty games to go in
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball season, and some of these teams
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: are off to rough starts that I know are going
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: to iron them out down the line.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 7: It's early.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 8: I think for the Mirrors, I think it's Is it
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 8: early for the Mets, I don't know. Is it early
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 8: for the for the Phillies. I mean they've already fired
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 8: the managers of the Red Sox, so I think you
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 8: didn't get late fast or feel like that you're drowning
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 8: when you get off to a really.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: Rough start, especially when your team that's expected to win
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 7: a lot of games. So it is early for I
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 7: think Seattle in their.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 8: Case, just because, as we talked about, the division is
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 8: there for the taking. Nobody's really set themselves apart in
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 8: the American League, especially which allows you know, a six
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 8: month season to kind of play out. But I think
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: some other teams are feeling the pressure of entering may
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 8: pretty far back and knowing that they have a lot
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 8: of catching up to do, so you know, it doesn't.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 7: Feel early for the Angels.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 8: They've lost head out of eleven and I think that
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 8: that feels like a drowning spot and you need to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 8: try to get out of that as soon as you
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 8: can't have time, which is true. And the Manners, obviously
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 8: what they did last September, they probably feel like they
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 8: can get it done. Cleveland probably feels the same based
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 8: on how they played at the end last year, that
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 8: there is plenty of time to still right the sh
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 8: and put it together a good stretch, and that's true,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 8: but you don't want to fault too far behind.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably due to what you felt about your
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: team coming into the season, whether or not you believe
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: it's early or not. So an interesting case study in
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, who's our opponent tonight on the other side
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: of the field from the Mariners and you'll be calling the.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Game this evening.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: They had high expectations coming into this year. They're twelve
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: and nineteen right now. Is it early for the Kansas
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: City Royals?
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 8: By your lodger, I would say that for the Royals,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 8: they I'm sure a feeling and they've won some games
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: here in the last week or so, and they needed that.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 8: They swept the Angles in Kansas City last weekend. Just
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 8: starting to tick off some wins. But then if you
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 8: come here with Seattle and they have a rough series
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 8: or they lose all three, well then you're back to
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 8: ten under and then I think you're starting to feel
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 8: that way again. So you know, the Royals have some
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: issues offensively for a while.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, Bobby what Junior was on base something like
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 7: fifty times.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 8: They only scored three runs in the first few weeks
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 8: of the season, so they you know, they need to
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 8: figure out a way to score runs more consistently.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 7: I think pitching is.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: Mostly pretty good at Reagan's look good at his last start.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 8: He'll pitch tonight against Brian Wu and we'll see. I mean,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 8: the Royals are in a division right now where nobody's
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 8: over five hundred, so there's there's certainly time to process
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 8: how you play, and you feel like the Tigers are.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 7: Going to be good.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 8: You feel like Cleveland always is better than what people think,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 8: So you know, the Royals kind of have to put
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 8: it together here sooner than later.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: Where is Bobby Wit on Wayne Rondazo's list of best
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: players in the world.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 8: I think he's one of the top three to five
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: most exciting players to watch. I think that he's a
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 8: guy that you feel, I mean insty two of them
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 8: tonight really with Wit and Julio, that you know, these
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 8: are two guys that you want to pay to see.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 8: You know that they're going to do something exciting. No
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 8: play is is routine for them. You know they can
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 8: go and do something that most guys can't.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 7: You know, lad La Cruz or the Reds is in
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 7: that category.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 8: There are certainly a bunch of guys around the league
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 8: where you could say that between their offense and defense
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 8: that they can do things and turn a game around
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 8: and get on a highlight reel faster than most. So
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 8: I think it's it's exciting to watch Bobby play the game.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 8: He's a tremendous shortstop. He's thrilling on the bases, and
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 8: he has great power, and he's a top five most
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 8: exciting player to watch.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: Earlier it was too and I think those are the
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 7: kind of guys that you know, you.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 8: You really don't mind paying a ticket to watch play baseball,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 8: especially when they're playing on the same game.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: Wayne Rondazo is with us play by play announcer for
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: the Angels, but he's also doing tonight's game on Apple TV,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: which will be a national broadcast tonight Kansas City taking
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: on the Seattle Mariners. So from your perspective, you do
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: Angels games most of the time, and then you get
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: to see the Mariners quite a bit. What is it
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: about the Mariners right now that you would love to
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: steal for the Angels? What is it about the Mariners
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: that has them a step, maybe a step and a
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: half ahead of most in the American League right now?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 8: Well, if you want to compare to the Angels, it's
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 8: a really easy answer. They have a bullpen that you
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 8: can trust at the end of the game. They got
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 8: guys you can you know that will come in at
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 8: the end and nail it down. I mean Andres Bernios,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 8: even though he has not had his best season, a
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 8: six saves already, Matt Brash is not given up a
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 8: run spire for Rare, but Guardo, I mean, these are
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 8: all guys with huge arms and you trust them at
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 8: the end of the game. I think the Angels are
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 8: missing that sorely right now. And if they could swap
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 8: bullpens right now, I think their records would look a
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 8: little more similar than what they do. So that's where
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 8: I would say the Mariners typically have an edge at
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 8: the ends of games, and if Munios can get itself
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 8: straightened out, which I'm sure you will that you know,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 8: that's a huge advantage for any team to be able
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 8: to go seven, eight to nine at.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 7: The end of a game and feel like you're not
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 7: going to give up many runs.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: At risk of putting this out in the universe, I
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: will ask you the question, does it feel to you
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: and your bones that Mike Trout's going to stay healthy
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: this year?
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: And if so, what will happen?
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 7: It does now? It does, and I think I think
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 7: Mike's looked great this year.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 8: I always I've been saying for the last two or
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 8: three years that people like Mike tend to have at
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 8: least one more season of vintage. You know, the guys
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 8: like him that dominate a sport for a long time
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 8: and then slow down or get hurt or whatever, they
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 8: seem to find one more year where they were as
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 8: good as they've ever been. And I think Trout is
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 8: there this year. I think he's close to as good
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 8: as he's ever been right now. And I think he'll
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 8: continue to put together a season that will get him
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 8: back in the All Star Game, get it back in.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 7: The MVP conversation. And I think this is it might
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 7: not be another you like it, but this is going to.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 8: Be one to remember Mike Trout as being one of
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 8: the great players in baseball history. And it's been awesome
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 8: to watch and I think ultimately this will get him
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 8: on a good path to five hundred home runs, which is.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 7: A number I think he'll hit before his career is over.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: Well, since we're talking superstars, we've not mentioned our catcher yet,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: and you will notice, I'm sure you already have. He
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: has a batting average under two hundred so far this season,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: but last year he entered SUPERSTARDOIM, do you think he's
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: here to stay as someone that is called Mike Trout's
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: games quite a bit throughout his career. Do you look
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: at cal Raley and do you see a long term
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: superstar having emerged in Major League Baseball.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 7: I think he's a great power hitter.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 8: I think that you know, his his catching prowess is
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 8: certainly regarded highly in the in the organization for the Mariners.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 7: You know, is he going to be the kind of
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: guy that he was last year. Every season. I think
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 7: that's that's really hard to ask. He's still going to be.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 8: Probably a thirty five forty homer guy, and he's still
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: a great catcher, he's still a leader.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 7: For this team. I don't know you need him to
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 7: be a fifty homer guy, fifty homer guy to be,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 7: you know, one of your one of your best players.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 7: I think that I don't know they'll do what.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 8: He ever did last season again, but he's he's certainly
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 8: someone that you trust will hit the balltom the ballpark.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 8: He's so strong. He solved whatever problems he had hitting
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 8: right handed last year. You know, there's a strikeout in
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 8: his game. There's there's certainly places where.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 7: You can get him out, but you know that power
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: is always going to be a threat.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 8: And he's a great He's a great, great player, and
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 8: he's why this Mariners team, along with Julio, with Naylor
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 8: and Rosa random and they have good players all over
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 8: all over the field. That's why you trust with their
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 8: pitching staff as well, that they're going to you know,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 8: by the end of the season, they're going to be
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 8: a playoff team.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: How are you enjoying the abs challenge system this season.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 7: It's it's been really good. I think that, you know,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 7: there's there's a lot to be liked about it.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 8: I think the fact that the teams can get these
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 8: calls right, especially in the high leverage spots, are important,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 8: and I think it's kept the umpires on their toes
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 8: more too.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: I think we're seeing less games.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 8: Where the home played umpire is negatively affecting the game.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 8: I think their calls have been better in general, because
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 8: you you know, you have that threat of ABS hanging
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 8: over them and they're trying to get the call right
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 8: to avoid you know, whatever sort of egg on their
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 8: faces might be there after they get one wrong.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 7: So it's it's been nice.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 8: I think that the challenge system affords the catchers and
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 8: the home played umpires that still do their jobs, which
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 8: is important to I think everyone around the league. You know,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 8: there's an argument to be made that they should just
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 8: have a BS for every pitch, but I think I
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 8: think then you're looking at it, you're looking at a
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 8: different game. You know, you're looking at you know, what's
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 8: the catcher going to do back there if he doesn't
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 8: have to frame? You know, what's the umpire going to
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 8: do back there if he doesn't really.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 7: Have to call the pitch. So I think that I
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 7: understand why some people say it should be every pitch.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 7: I think that makes sense.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 8: But I think then you're looking you're changing the game
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 8: too much, and I think I think they've got it
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 8: perfect right now.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: Well, nice nice review there, All right? So what's your
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: Broadcraft cast crew look like tonight? Any wrinkles we need
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: to know about before we tune in to watch our
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: team play on Apple TV.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure. I think that Doctorille Willison and I
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 7: are doing the game. How do you Wantney on the sidelines?
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 8: I think we're gonna interview Bobby with in game, which
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 8: I know some people find to be a bit distracting
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 8: when we talk to players in the middle of the game,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 8: But you.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 7: Know, I think there's also and it's an insight and in.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 8: A way to kind of be in a part of
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 8: the game more than more than usual. I like that
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 8: we do it, and I'm sure Bobby won't be too
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 8: negatively affected by us, So we.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Hope he is. Yeah, I hope he is.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: Distract him all you want do a lot of this,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: so Wayne, Bobby, you know, just right in the middle
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: of this questions just to scare him a little bit.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: All right, man, well, thank you for some time. We
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. Have fun while you're in Seattle. You got
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: any places that you go regularly when you come to town?
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 7: You know, I like the Pink Door.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 8: That's probably my favorite Italian spot here. But a lot
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 8: of good restaurants in this city. So if you have
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 8: any recommendations, pass them alone.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'll have Ashley write a few things
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: down for you. So appreciate it. Have fun tonight, and
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: how about calling us will win. We'd appreciate it.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 7: Wayne, all right, sounds good?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: All right, Wayne Randazzo joining us right here on Chalking
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: Back in the morning play by play man for the Angels,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: but for our evening to he's going to be calling
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: the Mariners game against the Kansas City Royals on Apple
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: TV Plus. You can follow Wayne Randazzo on Twitter at
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: Wayne Randazzo. So that was a pretty positive review on
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: the ABS Challenge system. It's very strange thirty two games
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: into it, how I can't even imagine the sport being
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: played without it. That is an odd realization to come to,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: considering we've had over one hundred years of baseball and
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: what seventy five years of baseball viewing under our belts
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: as a country, and yet here we have this system
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: just like the strike zone. I can't watch a game
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: without the strike zone painted over, you know what I mean?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: Accurate?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, every time I had my microphone, I'm like, yeah,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: no time, and I'm like, oh wait, I didn't turn
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: it back on.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: And then even the pitch clock, I can't imagine the
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: game's slowing down more than the pace that I've got
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: used to in such a short period of time.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: And I thought I was going to be so annoyed
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: by the pitch clock when they implemented that, I thought,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: oh my god, it's going to be so annoying.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: It's all I'm ever going to think about is oh,
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: hurry up, you go.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: You know the amount of time, And now fifteen seconds
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: feels so long. Yeah, like, how did we deal with
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: this having it like twice as long, I mean, with
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: no time limit before.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: I was actually watching the game last night and there
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: were like eight seconds on the pitch clock. But because
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: the hitter got in like box so quickly and squared
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: up to the pitcher so quickly that I actually yelled
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: at one point, like throw the damn ball And I
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: looked down. There was like eight seconds left. He had
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: eight seconds. He had plenty of wiggle room.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So all these things that, yeah, that I thought
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: because I did think, I didn't think that was going
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: to be a problem, and it is not.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, thank god we have that.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: So the first thing with the ABS is I can't
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: believe that. I can't imagine life without it already. And
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: then the second thing about it is I don't really
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: well number two. We talked about this a lot. Teams
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: are not anywhere close to knowing how to use it
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: even they're not even circling the neighborhood for what they're
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: eventually going to land on, what they're going to allow,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: who gets to challenge, who doesn't get to challenge, what
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: situations we're going to challenge in. You know, they're not
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: even close to where they're eventually going to be.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: And I love that.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: I don't really see one team that feels closer than
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: the other. Everybody feels a little bit lost right now
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: as to how I feel that the Mariners feel lost
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: about how, Yeah, I think that they are caught in
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: between not sure what to do with the ABS Challenge
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: system at this point. But they'll get comfortable with it,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: and I think that it will start making more sense
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: to everybody, managers, hitters, pitchers, catchers, everybody included, as we
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: go along, and I think there's going to be just
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: a different type of streng and I think I hope
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: that if individual teams have different type of strategies, yeah,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: for how they use it and how they implement it.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: So that's the second thing that stood out to me.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: The third thing is something that Rendozzo brought up. I mean,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: I've heard the argument for well, if we've gone this far,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: just robot ump it, just why don't we just get
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: it right? Every time I hear you, I hear you
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: loud and clear. And I'm not saying we shouldn't go
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: there eventually, But right now, thirty two games into it,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of enjoying the game within the game that
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: is the ABS Challenge System. I'm kind of enjoying the
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: strategy when to use.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: It, when not to use it.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can feel the wheels turning and grinding
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: inside the individual players' heads, like should I use it now?
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: Should I not use it now?
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: And then that sort of breath of that like three
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: to six second breath of waiting for it to pop
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: up on your television screen to inform you whether or
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: not the guy.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: Was right or if he was a fool because it
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: clearly missed by a quarter of an inch. You idiot,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: why did.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: You use it?
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 8: Then?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: You sound like the guy from Princess Bride in that moment,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: And now I want him.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't think you didn't see me twitched the glapin,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: but I touched the glaphin.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: See, Now I want him to narrate when it gets
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: called corrected on. Oh, you idiots, stop that rhyming. I
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: mean it, anyone want to yeah?
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: Uh? But yeah, I think that I don't think we're
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: close to where we want to get with it.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: And yet I'm enjoying sort of watching the players struggle
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: with when how yeah is it okay?
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: If I do it? Should I save it for cow?
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: And you're yelling at them like, no, don't challenge it.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, good they didn't challenge it, or oh, come on,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: challenge it. I mean it is just an extra thing
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: to cheer for.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: And and look, I mean, I think what certainly has
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: to be stated about it is that we can't live
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: with you know, Oh, I can't believe you challenge because
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: we have the information at home. How did you not
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: challenge it? Yeah, that's why I really believe it does
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: have to ultimately come down to situational and so it's
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: not whether or not you were right or wrong about
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: whether it was a ball or a strike. Right, I
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: don't think that's going to be the bread and butter
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: to this. I think what it's going to be about
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: is did you challenge at the right time in the
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: right situation. Yeah, that's why I think we kind of
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: learned something from ref Snyder back on Sunday of he
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: had two very challengeable that was way outside pitches against him,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: but smartly he didn't use it the first time, at
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: least I think smartly. Maybe it was I'm not even hitting.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: There's no way I'm going to use one of these.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: When I've got all these guys on deck, they'll murder me.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: I'll feel terrible if I'm wrong. You know, maybe it
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: was that, But if he stumbled into it accidentally, then
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: I think that was like for me, the first like
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: lesson learning lesson of the entire abs challenge system era
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: for the Mariners is okay, we just learned something there.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: He was even in the count. It was clearly outside.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: He let it go.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: And he was down oh one.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: Who cares.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: You're a major league gtterer. You should be able to
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: hit O one one one. Oh, I get it, I
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: It changes.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: I understand that, but that's changed throughout history. We're really
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: gonna burn one of our two, and I think at
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: the time we only had one.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: I think you think you're right if we only have
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: one did? Yes, we did, that's correct.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: If we only have one challenge left, are we really
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: gonna use it on getting to a one oh count
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: versus an oh one count? Is that really what we're
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: gonna do? And so he went ahead and ate it,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: even though he knew the umpire was wrong. So he's
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: in an O one count. Next thing, you know, he's
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: in a one two count. So that umpire did kind
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: of screw him over. But then the umpire misses even worse,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: and then restneyers like, okay that I'm going to challenge
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: because that's a difference between me striking out or getting
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: another pitch. So I'm going to go ahead and challenge
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: that one, because this is not the difference between one
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 2: and oh and oh and one. This is the difference
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: between me walking back to the dugout having failed my teammates,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: or maybe with another pitch, I can change the ballgame.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: And he changed the ball game he hit the home run.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't put too much stock in the home
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: run because that's not going to happen every time. But
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: the way I took that it was like a light
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: bulb moment for me, even though I think we all
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: kind of felt that anyway, but it was more confirmation
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: that that is how it has to be used. If
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: it's the difference I think Ashley pointed this out in
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: conjunction with me. If it's the difference between striking out
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: or going back to the dugout in a that was
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: the ninth inning to try to get on base, or
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: if it's the difference between walking and keeping a rally
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: started or getting a rally started or seeing another pitch, right,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: then I think it's worth using there. You have to
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: have some sort of tangible benefit from it, not just
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: a shifting of the count.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 3: No, it can't just be oh, now I have two,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 3: now I'm up two. Oho, Instead of one one Yes,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 3: because now you still have too much room for error
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: in those remaining pitches.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to save that for when Cow's got
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: second and third and needs to use it with one
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: out to try to get an extra pitch. So, to me,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: that's the learning lessons that, that's the experience we're going
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: to have with this and uh and that was to
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: me the first kind of like teaching moment.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: If I'm Dan Wilson, I'm like this, this, this, that
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: was the guys, guys, guys, guys, this, this, this, this
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: this yeah.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 10: Uh and not.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: JP thinks that the OO pitch missed by a quarter
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: of an inch and he's just he's got a really
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: good eye. We got to trust him.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 3: No, it's not even worth it, right, I don't care
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 3: if you're up what's benefit because I had too much
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 3: room for error in their remaining pitches and you wasted
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: a challenge in something that didn't benefit you in any way.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: I don't care if a mediocre hitter in a non
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: threatening situation is up one oher on the count versus
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: oh one, because I know the next pitch you're just
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: gonna swing out of your ass anyway and probably pop it. Up.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say it's sad because it's true. I
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: will say I was when we played the Yankees. I
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: was nervous they had it figured out already because the
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: way they were just challenging everything and getting them all right.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 3: I thought, oh my god, how did this team figure
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 3: it out so quickly? And now they've come back down
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: to earth. Yeah, but I got so nervous, like they're
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: just gonna crush everybody because they can just they've they
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: somehow have a magical eyeball.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what Tom Ferducci was saying. He didn't think
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: people were using it enough. Keep using it, use to
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: use it. I don't know. I don't think that's right.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: And I like Tom Ferducci, but I don't think the
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: way the Yankees were doing it is sustainable either. They
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: just happened to be in a croove with a bad
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: umpire and a wild pitcher at that point.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up next on the program. Yes, this
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: is the Friday after the NFL Draft and my final
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft conversation. But this one's going to be a
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: little different than the normal draft conversation. This is about
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: what everybody else has learned from John and Mike in
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: a very short period of time. Sports Radio ninety three
