Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, little buddy of the Thunder. Yeah, that's what I'm picture.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Just spreading joy. Yeah, that Spencer Hall, just dancing around
- 0:09Speaker 1: the neighborhood. Yeah, just spreading joy wherever he can. Joining
- 0:14Speaker 1: us now on the program is a local basketball legend
- 0:19Speaker 1: and he's been our NBA insider during the playoffs each
- 0:22Speaker 1: of the last two years. And he is with us
- 0:25Speaker 1: on a special Monday because the thunders championship dreams are dead.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, Good morning.
- 0:33Speaker 2: It's funny you say that.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Actually I got into it with a couple of Missus
- 0:36Speaker 3: Crabtrees after the game when they were filing out and
- 0:39Speaker 3: we were trying to make our way down to watch
- 0:41Speaker 3: that trophy presentation. But what a funeral for the Thunder
- 0:45Speaker 3: and their cute little dynasty that they were putting together.
- 0:49Speaker 3: I mean, if if there's a better win for a
- 0:54Speaker 3: Seattle sports fan, that's not a Seattle game, Seattle team participate,
- 1:00Speaker 3: and I don't know that I can remember one was
- 1:03Speaker 3: a joyous, joyous occasion. I still I'm still floating. I
- 1:09Speaker 3: can't believe I sluck last night. So you were there, Yeah,
- 1:14Speaker 3: so I've got a complean. I lied last time we
- 1:19Speaker 3: were on because I didn't. I did not want to
- 1:21Speaker 3: be a distraction to h to the Maestro, to Mitchell.
- 1:26Speaker 3: So we decided to make it kind of like a
- 1:28Speaker 3: Seal Team six covert operation. I got all the plans
- 1:32Speaker 3: in place and then just went ahead and uh, wen,
- 1:35Speaker 3: they're going to win. And so we figured we'd see
- 1:37Speaker 3: him afterwards and surprise him a little bit.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Well how did it go then, I mean, tell us
- 1:43Speaker 1: what the light evening was like then with Mitch Johnson
- 1:46Speaker 1: after he pulls off his biggest win of his career.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Uh he he looked relieved.
- 1:54Speaker 3: You know that a series like that takes it out anybody,
- 1:59Speaker 3: especially if you're guy that has to make all the
- 2:01Speaker 3: decisions that you know, one way or another determined generally
- 2:05Speaker 3: determine the output or the outcome.
- 2:07Speaker 2: But uh no, it was It was awesome. And that
- 2:11Speaker 2: you know, that team is it's so fun to watch.
- 2:16Speaker 3: They're so young, they still don't really know, they still
- 2:18Speaker 3: don't really know what they're doing a lot of the
- 2:21Speaker 3: time out there, but they have a collective spirit and
- 2:24Speaker 3: a competitive spirit that gives them a chance and and
- 2:29Speaker 3: you know, on that Game seven, it was.
- 2:31Speaker 2: More than enough.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, what did it come down to? In
- 2:34Speaker 1: your estimation. What was the key to the victory for
- 2:36Speaker 1: the Spurs.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Uh, they took care of the ball better than they
- 2:42Speaker 2: have that.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I think as a series went on, they they got
- 2:44Speaker 3: a lot better at that and not giving the Thunder
- 2:47Speaker 3: others the opportunities to get easy ones in transition. Offensive
- 2:52Speaker 3: rebounding was an issue for them pretty much all series.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I think the Thunders saw something early and especially when
- 2:58Speaker 3: they had the two bigs in there were really taking
- 3:00Speaker 3: advantage of crashing the boards. And even at the start
- 3:04Speaker 3: of that Game seven, they were if they didn't make
- 3:07Speaker 3: the first one, they'd get to get a second offensive
- 3:10Speaker 3: rebound and kick it out and Sha'd be standing there
- 3:12Speaker 3: wide open and you know what's gonna happen then. So
- 3:16Speaker 3: I think they really in that second half they tightened
- 3:19Speaker 3: tightened up those aspects of it, and then it was
- 3:22Speaker 3: a kind of a strategy that I was waiting an
- 3:26Speaker 3: adjustment I was waiting for, especially when they you know,
- 3:32Speaker 3: Jalen Williams the the good one. I don't want to
- 3:34Speaker 3: call him the good one, but the better one. I
- 3:36Speaker 3: hate the jay dub j will that's Thunder, that's Thunder
- 3:40Speaker 3: propaganda nicknames.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Uh when he wasn't going to be in there.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Obviously, Shay is capable of going for forty or fifty
- 3:48Speaker 3: or sixty on a given night, much harder to do
- 3:51Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And I think you know he was
- 3:53Speaker 3: rolling Game seven, He was rolling early. We knew that
- 3:56Speaker 3: was going to happen. He was going to be hunting
- 3:57Speaker 3: a shot, and the Spurs not allowing it, but being
- 4:03Speaker 3: a little more strategic and muted in the situations. They
- 4:08Speaker 3: doubled him, did not allow the other guys to get
- 4:10Speaker 3: the looks that they were getting, especially early in the series,
- 4:13Speaker 3: and making the other guys beat them, of which without
- 4:16Speaker 3: those two Mitchell and Williams, you know, they just clearly
- 4:21Speaker 3: didn't have the horses on the offensive end. If the
- 4:23Speaker 3: other guys weren't getting getting open books off Shay.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Chat Holmern's getting killed nationally. I would imagine he is
- 4:30Speaker 1: in Oklahoma as well. He kind of had a disappearing act.
- 4:36Speaker 1: How strange is it to be seven foot tall. You're
- 4:39Speaker 1: always the tallest guy on the floor, and then all
- 4:42Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, you go up against Yaoming
- 4:45Speaker 1: like you probably did in your career. He's got to
- 4:48Speaker 1: go up against a whimby and suddenly one of the
- 4:50Speaker 1: advantages that he'd known his entire career. He's the dwarf
- 4:55Speaker 1: on the court. You know, he's the guy. He's the
- 4:59Speaker 1: guy can't get his shot off and is scared to
- 5:01Speaker 1: shoot for fear of it getting blocked. What was your
- 5:05Speaker 1: recap on Chet Holmgren's performance down the stretch here?
- 5:10Speaker 3: It clearly it was the mental more so than the
- 5:14Speaker 3: physical with him. When when you're turning down three point
- 5:20Speaker 3: opportunities where yeah, Wemby, I guess theoretically could maybe block
- 5:25Speaker 3: one of those, he's probably not going to.
- 5:27Speaker 2: And most of the time it wasn't. When beyond Chet
- 5:29Speaker 2: and he's turning those down.
- 5:31Speaker 3: And when you see when you see space guys especially
- 5:35Speaker 3: you know, stretched floors, fives, whatever you want to call them.
- 5:37Speaker 2: When and I was guilty of this when I played.
- 5:40Speaker 3: When you start pump faking shots that you know you
- 5:43Speaker 3: can get off and you know one dribble spin or
- 5:47Speaker 3: you know, swing the ball the pump fake, that's when
- 5:50Speaker 3: you know guys out of rhythm. And as the series
- 5:52Speaker 3: went on further and further, it was like he wasn't
- 5:55Speaker 3: even doing that anymore. He was just catching it looking
- 5:58Speaker 3: to get off of it. And you know, to only
- 6:01Speaker 3: take two field goal or four field goal attempts in
- 6:05Speaker 3: a in a closeout game, that's not I can't imagine that.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Was the game plan.
- 6:10Speaker 3: And you know, he's from the outside looking in, it
- 6:15Speaker 3: appears he's got a little bit of a of a
- 6:18Speaker 3: Wemby problem in terms of that just the confidence. Obviously
- 6:21Speaker 3: he's an incredible player. You've just made thirteen All NBA,
- 6:25Speaker 3: which I don't think is helping the narrative right now.
- 6:28Speaker 3: But he's he's far more talented than he showed. And
- 6:31Speaker 3: you know, it's you hate going into an offseason with
- 6:34Speaker 3: that's the last taste in your mouth, and so it's
- 6:37Speaker 3: probably it's probably gonna be a long one for him.
- 6:39Speaker 3: And now you know, the trade rumors start percolating, and
- 6:44Speaker 3: that's just that's kind of the nature of the beast.
- 6:46Speaker 3: When when you have expectations at a certain level and
- 6:49Speaker 3: they aren't met or close to met, that this is
- 6:53Speaker 3: what comes along with it. It's been pretty easy for him,
- 6:56Speaker 3: I would say, up until this point, and mostly credit
- 6:59Speaker 3: to him and you know for making it that way,
- 7:02Speaker 3: because he's had such an effect beginning to his career.
- 7:06Speaker 3: But these are this is some adversity that he's hitting,
- 7:09Speaker 3: and it's going to be interesting to see how he
- 7:11Speaker 3: responds and how the organization responds if it's changed, if
- 7:16Speaker 3: it's changed their plans at all.
- 7:17Speaker 2: You know, they knew Wemby was coming.
- 7:20Speaker 3: I think if you can get them off the record,
- 7:22Speaker 3: they'd say they were worried to terrified, and it's like
- 7:28Speaker 3: the nightmares come true. Probably a couple of seasons earlier
- 7:32Speaker 3: than they had penciled in, and it's it's going to
- 7:35Speaker 3: be interesting. They got some salary count issues in Oklahoma
- 7:38Speaker 3: and they're gonna have to make some decisions going forward.
- 7:40Speaker 3: It could look could look differently, and you could see
- 7:42Speaker 3: press he having to play some cars that he doesn't
- 7:46Speaker 3: usually have to put on the table.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Now, I mean, they're just so well built, so well constructed.
- 7:51Speaker 1: And then I mean, I mean, if Wemby doesn't come
- 7:54Speaker 1: into our lives, if he doesn't come into San Antonio's lives,
- 7:58Speaker 1: if they didn't get that lot a lot re ball
- 8:00Speaker 1: luck to basically win the lottery three years in a row,
- 8:04Speaker 1: I mean, what were Sonic fans gonna have to face
- 8:09Speaker 1: with this OKC team? I mean, were you braced for
- 8:12Speaker 1: watching you know, five six championships before. Wimby has changed
- 8:18Speaker 1: the entire outlook for them going forward because now they're
- 8:21Speaker 1: the chaser. They're going to have to figure out a
- 8:24Speaker 1: way to beat a young, growing getting better with every
- 8:28Speaker 1: game Spurs team. Going forward, maybe it ends up Spencer,
- 8:32Speaker 1: it's just a one and done championship for the OKC
- 8:35Speaker 1: Thunder when I think maybe a year ago people were
- 8:38Speaker 1: wondering if they were going to win five or six
- 8:40Speaker 1: during the next decade.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I think it's too hard in this in
- 8:47Speaker 3: this format with the way that they especially now the
- 8:50Speaker 3: way that they've reshaped the lottery and the salary cap
- 8:53Speaker 3: with the aprons.
- 8:54Speaker 2: And we don't need to go down that rabbit hole.
- 8:56Speaker 3: But they're the parody in the league in the last
- 9:01Speaker 3: eight or ten years has been incredible, and I think
- 9:03Speaker 3: that's what That's what everybody wanted, whether it's the fans
- 9:07Speaker 3: or the league or the owners, is to have that
- 9:10Speaker 3: opportunity to compete. And I was concerned the worst the
- 9:16Speaker 3: worst thing that could happen is they win it, right,
- 9:18Speaker 3: and that happens last year because Haliburton gets hurt.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Throw that in so it's like, all right, we.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Take that, missus crabtree.
- 9:28Speaker 2: It's not as bad. Maybe it's not as bad as
- 9:30Speaker 2: we thought.
- 9:31Speaker 3: And then you immediately, you know, you start looking for
- 9:34Speaker 3: You're like, who if it isn't Wenby, what is gonna
- 9:38Speaker 3: what is going to derail this operation? And now that
- 9:42Speaker 3: it it, it was Wenby, turns out and it and
- 9:46Speaker 3: it happened, you know, not even a year after they
- 9:48Speaker 3: got their first one. The narratives can change quickly from
- 9:53Speaker 3: nasty talk to do we have to blow up this
- 9:57Speaker 3: core that everyone thought would be the envy of the
- 10:00Speaker 3: league for years to come.
- 10:02Speaker 1: I've been saying for a year and a half that
- 10:05Speaker 1: Yannis is going to end up on OKC. They're going
- 10:08Speaker 1: to use their draft capital and probably holm grin this
- 10:13Speaker 1: offseason to go get him because they need a they
- 10:17Speaker 1: need some sort of Wimby defense system, and he's the
- 10:20Speaker 1: other long freak in the NBA that might be able
- 10:25Speaker 1: to negate some of that advantage. Is that something that
- 10:29Speaker 1: you think they should do, not that you want them to,
- 10:33Speaker 1: not that you want them to bridge the gap, but
- 10:36Speaker 1: do you think that that's a possible move that we're
- 10:39Speaker 1: going to have to confront? Is that the thunder just
- 10:41Speaker 1: added Yannis to this equation.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I don't want to see that. Bute is
- 10:50Speaker 2: Janice is.
- 10:53Speaker 3: For as incredible as a player and MVP Champion, MVP Championship,
- 10:57Speaker 3: MVP as he is. He he is a because he's
- 11:02Speaker 3: been in the position the last you know, six seven
- 11:06Speaker 3: eight years where he's almost part or should be part
- 11:09Speaker 3: of the de facto front office in Milwaukee.
- 11:12Speaker 2: He is. He is very smart.
- 11:13Speaker 3: He knows, he's calculated, and you know he knows his
- 11:18Speaker 3: best shot is staying in the East. I still think
- 11:22Speaker 3: Miami can probably put together the best package of between assets,
- 11:27Speaker 3: pick assets, pick equity, and players and good young players
- 11:32Speaker 3: to make a run at him.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I still think.
- 11:35Speaker 3: That's if you're Milwaukee, that's the best return you're going
- 11:39Speaker 3: to get. But you know, Chet would have been a
- 11:44Speaker 3: week ago absolutely off.
- 11:46Speaker 2: The table or not.
- 11:48Speaker 3: He's not on the block, and then it's things can
- 11:50Speaker 3: change and who knows if he if he really is,
- 11:53Speaker 3: you know, behind the scenes in their front office. I
- 11:57Speaker 3: guess everybody's untouchable until they aren't. But I think Giannis
- 12:04Speaker 3: being one example. But I think the league you're going
- 12:07Speaker 3: to see a shift here between what the Thunder and
- 12:10Speaker 3: the Spurs have been able to do and how they've
- 12:13Speaker 3: been able to position themselves. I think you're going to
- 12:15Speaker 3: see a bit of an exodus from the Western Conference team.
- 12:19Speaker 3: I mean, Minnesota's whole organization's trying to get to the East.
- 12:23Speaker 3: It's not just one player. It's like they want to
- 12:25Speaker 3: take the whole team and stick them in the Eastern Conference.
- 12:28Speaker 3: So I think that's you see these ebbs and flows,
- 12:32Speaker 3: and if you're a player, and you're a star player,
- 12:34Speaker 3: and especially if maybe you're getting closer to middle of
- 12:38Speaker 3: the end of your career and you're looking at how
- 12:39Speaker 3: do I chase championships? The easier route has been for
- 12:42Speaker 3: the last however many decades to go through the East.
- 12:46Speaker 2: And I think with these two teams at the top,
- 12:49Speaker 2: that's that's only exaggerated. Now.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Seattle basketball legend Spencer also with us here. He's been
- 12:55Speaker 1: our inside of the last two NBA playoffs and we're
- 12:57Speaker 1: getting ready for the NBA Finals now, as he joins
- 13:01Speaker 1: us here on this Monday morning. So, did you get
- 13:04Speaker 1: Mitch to let his hair down a little bit, the
- 13:05Speaker 1: little you know, the old school partying somewhere in a private,
- 13:11Speaker 1: you know area in an Oklahoma City bar or did
- 13:13Speaker 1: you did he say no? I got to start reading
- 13:17Speaker 1: up on Jalen Brunson here.
- 13:20Speaker 3: No, they they kind of corralled us into a little
- 13:24Speaker 3: kind of courtside club type situation, and we got to
- 13:28Speaker 3: talk to him for five or ten minutes, and then
- 13:30Speaker 3: he was back to getting on the plane. They were
- 13:32Speaker 3: back to San Antonio, and then right straight to the film.
- 13:36Speaker 3: There's no celebrating yet, there's still four more to go.
- 13:40Speaker 1: And then didn't stop you from celebrating though, did it?
- 13:43Speaker 2: Oh no, we no, we celebrated.
- 13:45Speaker 3: We celebrated on his behalf and took great joy. And yeah,
- 13:52Speaker 3: the fans that were that were friendly and said congratulations
- 13:56Speaker 3: and whatever. Oh yeah, thank you. We had a huge
- 13:59Speaker 3: part of it. You know, we left them alone. But
- 14:02Speaker 3: the ones that wanted to come with a little bit
- 14:04Speaker 3: of hostility, it was. It was met and exceeded.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Did you wear Spurs gear, Sonics gear, combination of the two?
- 14:11Speaker 1: What did you do?
- 14:13Speaker 2: Oh?
- 14:14Speaker 3: I got I got my cowboy hat that I picked
- 14:17Speaker 3: up before Game three, My Spurs cowboy hat that kind
- 14:22Speaker 3: of got around, got around.
- 14:24Speaker 2: The internet a little bit.
- 14:25Speaker 3: And then I have a buddy down in California that
- 14:27Speaker 3: captured a little screenshot of me yelling at chat during
- 14:32Speaker 3: that game, got some shirts made that said Big Texas
- 14:36Speaker 3: and so I had that with the hat, and then
- 14:39Speaker 3: I had my uncle's old Sonic shooting shirt from I
- 14:42Speaker 3: don't know what year.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Uh, you know, the true polyester you got it. You
- 14:48Speaker 2: gotta wear something under that.
- 14:49Speaker 3: I don't know how they they did it with no
- 14:51Speaker 3: uh no protection. But so that was my That was
- 14:54Speaker 3: my combo.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Very nice. I love it. And and how how excited
- 14:59Speaker 1: are you real that? I mean, Mitch Johnson kind of
- 15:03Speaker 1: has to leave Seattle to become a true Seattle hero.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I know he was a good player, and I know
- 15:10Speaker 1: he's a you know, one of Seattle's own. But all
- 15:14Speaker 1: of a sudden, I mean there's Mitch Johnson, love everywhere
- 15:18Speaker 1: for him in his hometown. How excited are you about that?
- 15:22Speaker 2: Oh?
- 15:23Speaker 3: I mean, I like, I can't even put into words.
- 15:26Speaker 3: I mean, he he's been one of my best friends
- 15:30Speaker 3: since going back to high school and to watch his
- 15:32Speaker 3: journey and and you know, even going to Stanford, I
- 15:36Speaker 3: think was everyone assumed he'd stay at home and he'd
- 15:40Speaker 3: kind of always been been in the shadows with even
- 15:44Speaker 3: on his own AAU team with John Brockman and Martel
- 15:48Speaker 3: and Mike and I think going to Stanford gave him
- 15:51Speaker 3: a chance to kind of spread his wings. And then
- 15:54Speaker 3: you know, having to go over and playing Europe in
- 15:56Speaker 3: the G League and then having that not work out
- 15:58Speaker 3: and coming home and all right, what am I going
- 15:59Speaker 3: to do?
- 16:00Speaker 2: Now I'm coaching.
- 16:01Speaker 3: I'm gonna start coaching kids, and now I'm gonna start
- 16:03Speaker 3: coaching a high school team, and all right, now I
- 16:06Speaker 3: gotta move my family down to Austin, Texas and you know,
- 16:10Speaker 3: go coach in the G League and grind out down there.
- 16:12Speaker 3: I mean, uh, there was nothing on his path that
- 16:17Speaker 3: was the easy way to do things. And he kept
- 16:18Speaker 3: grinding and and he kept trusting himself and and uh,
- 16:24Speaker 3: you know, choosing choosing some great people around him to
- 16:26Speaker 3: help mentor him into that role. And uh, it's just
- 16:30Speaker 3: I'm so happy for him and his family and uh
- 16:33Speaker 3: and the Spurs and I mean, I just it's you
- 16:37Speaker 3: take a step back. It's hard to believe his first
- 16:40Speaker 3: official year of coaching and he's going to play going
- 16:43Speaker 3: to Chase Hilario O'Brien in a couple of nights. So
- 16:46Speaker 3: that just proud of them, happy, happy for him and
- 16:49Speaker 3: can't wait for four more.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Yeah, well it starts on Wednesday. He'll be spending some
- 16:54Speaker 1: of this next week in Madison Square Garden trying to
- 16:57Speaker 1: win an NBA championship for goodness. So I mean, we're
- 17:01Speaker 1: not gonna spend a lot of time today previewing the
- 17:03Speaker 1: NBA Finals because there was so much to recap. But man,
- 17:07Speaker 1: the Knicks are playing some awfully good basketball. Who ends
- 17:10Speaker 1: up winning this title? Do you think?
- 17:14Speaker 2: Well?
- 17:15Speaker 3: As as I was reminded when I walked in the
- 17:19Speaker 3: building Saturday night, home court is a real thing, and
- 17:22Speaker 3: that's why you fight during the regular season to get it.
- 17:26Speaker 3: And the Spurs have had it, you know, in the
- 17:29Speaker 3: first two rounds and they lose it. Now they got
- 17:31Speaker 3: it again, which is always kind of weird, but they
- 17:34Speaker 3: earned it.
- 17:35Speaker 2: And I think.
- 17:37Speaker 3: It's the two teams that have that have gotten better
- 17:40Speaker 3: as the team's gone or as the year has gone along,
- 17:42Speaker 3: that are playing the best basketball right now, and that's
- 17:44Speaker 3: what you hope for. I think Wemby, even in that.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Game seven, I mean, he was he had a good game.
- 17:53Speaker 3: I don't think he had the type of game that
- 17:56Speaker 3: people would have thought he needed to have to win
- 17:58Speaker 3: in that environment. And that's a test to the rest
- 18:00Speaker 3: of the guys on the Spurs, and if they can
- 18:02Speaker 3: continue to pick up the slack if you know, if
- 18:06Speaker 3: he's not rolling or he's kind of sacrificing himself to
- 18:10Speaker 3: to take that run of the defense, then I think
- 18:13Speaker 3: the Spurs, Uh, they're the favorites for a reason.
- 18:17Speaker 2: But the Knicks got a lot of guys.
- 18:20Speaker 3: They got a lot of guys that shooters that are
- 18:22Speaker 3: shooting well and guys that maybe weren't considered shooters that
- 18:25Speaker 3: are shooting well. And so, uh, it's it's gonna be
- 18:28Speaker 3: interesting to see. I think the matchups will be fascinating
- 18:32Speaker 3: what the Knicks try and do with Wemby, how to
- 18:34Speaker 3: the Spurs guard Karl Anthony Towns.
- 18:38Speaker 2: I think, whether you got a horse in the race or.
- 18:42Speaker 3: You're just a basketball fan, I think this is a
- 18:45Speaker 3: great matchup between two two franchises, story franchises. You got
- 18:52Speaker 3: the venues, you know, going to the finals in the
- 18:54Speaker 3: Garden for the first time since I was a little kid. Uh,
- 18:58Speaker 3: it's there's there's a lot of stuff, a lot of
- 19:01Speaker 3: intriguing uh plots and subplots going into these finals, and
- 19:05Speaker 3: I just I wish it was Wednesday.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Yeah. The most intriguing thing is our Green Jacket draft. Uh,
- 19:12Speaker 1: you know a fantasy league that we had your draft.
- 19:15Speaker 1: You're fifty eight points back of me heading into the finals.
- 19:19Speaker 1: But you've got Wimby and Fox, I've got Castle. I
- 19:22Speaker 1: think you're doing pretty well. I think you're gonna talk.
- 19:25Speaker 1: What's the surprise? What's the prize for that? A million dollars?
- 19:28Speaker 1: A million dollars there, I don't know. Maybe another cowboy hat.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be the prize. I'll get you a matching
- 19:37Speaker 1: cowboy hat to take to New York with you.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:40Speaker 3: I think, well, this one had some bad juju. Now
- 19:42Speaker 3: it's got some good good luck. So I think we're
- 19:44Speaker 3: gonna roll with this one.
- 19:46Speaker 1: All right, man, Well that's that was some great stuff.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I'm glad you had a great time in Oklahoma City,
- 19:51Speaker 1: brought home to win, and we will talk to you
- 19:54Speaker 1: again next week. Enjoy the final, sir, Thank you for
- 19:58Speaker 1: having me, all right, Spencer Oz joining us right here
- 20:02Speaker 1: on Chuck and back.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Aha.
- 20:03Speaker 1: That that's some insider stuff right there. I mean, that's
- 20:07Speaker 1: one thing to be our analyst for both the postseasons.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Another thing that you know, you've got a friendship that
- 20:12Speaker 1: goes back to your teenage years. With the head coach
- 20:15Speaker 1: of the team that's getting ready to play in the
- 20:17Speaker 1: NBA Finals.
- 20:17Speaker 4: So oh no, that's pretty fun.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love that Mitch Johnson's name's blowing up
- 20:22Speaker 1: here in town here in Seattle. Still loves this town
- 20:28Speaker 1: and still you know, has the connections to so many
- 20:31Speaker 1: things back here, and now he's representing us on this
- 20:34Speaker 1: big stage. He's taking out the thunder for every Seattleite
- 20:38Speaker 1: out there, and so I have a feeling all of
- 20:41Speaker 1: Seattle is rooting for the San Antonio Spurs this week.
- 20:46Speaker 4: They better be. If you consider yourself a true Seattleite,
- 20:49Speaker 4: you will be.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:50Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back on the other side with
- 20:52Speaker 1: the ABC's of them. Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 20:55Speaker 1: k RFM, brought to you by our brand new sponsor
- 20:58Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty, the Sunset Auto Family in Sumner
- 21:02Speaker 1: and Auburn. You just get more at Sunset and people
- 21:06Speaker 1: do like that.
- 21:09Speaker 4: They really do very direct today.
- 21:12Speaker 1: And so we're gonna get to the ABC. So the
- 21:14Speaker 1: MS we get to start at the beginning of the
- 21:16Speaker 1: alphabet today because I did I did the old tidy
- 21:19Speaker 1: X y Z Friday. Really love that.
- 21:22Speaker 4: It is really nice to wrap up on a Friday.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Yeh yeah, yeah, sometimes it just happens that way. But
- 21:28Speaker 1: we have a little bit of breaking news to pass
- 21:30Speaker 1: along to you here this morning. Looks like Russell Wilson
- 21:35Speaker 1: has a brand new job.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Wait, but Chuck, I thought Russell Wilson had a brand
- 21:39Speaker 4: new job.
- 21:40Speaker 1: He is going to be the new analyst at CBS Sports,
- 21:45Speaker 1: oh for their NFL package. So studio analyst Russell Wilson.
- 21:53Speaker 4: So he's not going to back up Gino Smith for
- 21:55Speaker 4: the Jets after.
- 21:57Speaker 1: All, it doesn't look like it. Uh, he's going to
- 21:59Speaker 1: be a talking head. So I'm I'm assuming that this
- 22:03Speaker 1: is him stepping away. I don't know if this is
- 22:06Speaker 1: just I don't know if he would if somebody offered
- 22:08Speaker 1: him a job midway through the year. He might be
- 22:11Speaker 1: the type of guy that did take it. If he's
- 22:14Speaker 1: halfway through the season and the yeah, the Ravens are
- 22:18Speaker 1: like Lamar's hurt, Russell, Yeah, I'm right there. I don't know.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Maybe he hasn't played his last football, but he's at
- 22:25Speaker 1: least trying to start his new career. I don't know
- 22:29Speaker 1: how this was work Number one. I think he's a
- 22:31Speaker 1: bright guy. I think he's I think he knows ball,
- 22:37Speaker 1: and yet where's the personality, where's that edge, where's gonna
- 22:44Speaker 1: be that commentary that you know makes us think? But
- 22:49Speaker 1: then again, they don't really hire anyone of talent on
- 22:52Speaker 1: CBS Sports, so maybe it won't matter. But nonetheless, I
- 22:59Speaker 1: he doesn't exactly seem like a great fit. But then again,
- 23:03Speaker 1: I don't think anybody over on Fox is any good
- 23:06Speaker 1: to their pregame show anymore either.
- 23:08Speaker 5: I mean, I'm definitely never tuning in for the personalities
- 23:11Speaker 5: on the shows.
- 23:12Speaker 4: It's more like or the insight or of it. Yeah,
- 23:15Speaker 4: it's just because it's.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Not like Gronks any good at it.
- 23:17Speaker 4: No, we're good to find out, Chuck.
- 23:20Speaker 5: It's just I'm only tuning in because I'm waiting for
- 23:22Speaker 5: a football game to start, and I'm putting that on
- 23:24Speaker 5: so that I can hear football talk before a football game.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Well, that's what the NFL networks for, you actually get
- 23:29Speaker 1: good guys. Right.
- 23:30Speaker 4: If I'm tuning in anywhere, it's only for that.
- 23:33Speaker 5: It's not for any personalities really, And I mean, he
- 23:36Speaker 5: could surprise us, I suppose, but I don't think I'll
- 23:39Speaker 5: be tuning in enough to find out.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I think there's a chance he could surprise. I think
- 23:43Speaker 1: there is, but I don't know if that's going to
- 23:45Speaker 1: be my choice to be on my my.
- 23:49Speaker 4: He's just cheesy still too, and that's not going away.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get to the ABC said the MS,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and we do start at the beginning of the alphabet,
- 23:58Speaker 1: and A is for a Paul, because that's exactly what
- 24:03Speaker 1: the defense was for Luis Castillo yesterday. This was not
- 24:08Speaker 1: about a piggyback gone wrong or I'm sick to death
- 24:11Speaker 1: of the piggyback. This is for whatever reason, when Bryce
- 24:15Speaker 1: Miller came out of the game and Luis Castillo went
- 24:19Speaker 1: into the game, it's like every defender's brain went to mush.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Certainly he didn't do it intentionally. I don't know if
- 24:25Speaker 1: the sun got in the eyes on a couple of times,
- 24:28Speaker 1: kind of seemed like it did. But between the JP
- 24:32Speaker 1: cole you got it, I got it. Who's got it? Oh?
- 24:35Speaker 4: No, okay, thanks Leo.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Ground ball that went up the middle to the Parada
- 24:40Speaker 1: pass ball, not a wild pitch. That was a pass ball.
- 24:44Speaker 1: You didn't even move. We got a glove on it
- 24:46Speaker 1: without even sliding over to pounce on that thing. Second
- 24:50Speaker 1: and third, you got to move your whole body. You
- 24:53Speaker 1: got to do whatever it takes to smother that ball.
- 24:55Speaker 1: And Parada got a glove on it. That was not
- 24:58Speaker 1: that bad a pitch. That was pass ball. It was
- 25:01Speaker 1: a wild pitch. Then he had the nailer error, trying
- 25:04Speaker 1: to be a hero rather than taking the out Arizona
- 25:07Speaker 1: was willing to give you. And then you'd have Julio
- 25:10Speaker 1: not calling off Randy in center field when he's got
- 25:14Speaker 1: the better arm and the ball was in center field,
- 25:18Speaker 1: it wasn't even in left It was a better angle
- 25:21Speaker 1: for him to throw home and instead there yeah, instead
- 25:25Speaker 1: he lets Randy cut in front of him and take
- 25:27Speaker 1: the ball at a weird angle. And he's got a
- 25:29Speaker 1: terrible throwing arm, and Julio's got a great throwing arm.
- 25:34Speaker 1: So I don't know what happened to our defense in
- 25:37Speaker 1: that moment, but it wasn't a piggyback issue. It was
- 25:42Speaker 1: we played terrible defense yesterday behind Luis Castillo. Otherwise it
- 25:47Speaker 1: wouldn't have had to go down to the tenth inning
- 25:50Speaker 1: and trying to scratch out a win. We should have
- 25:52Speaker 1: won that thing.
- 25:52Speaker 2: A lot easier.
- 25:53Speaker 5: We should have, and it was really disappointing to see
- 25:56Speaker 5: what happened once Castillo came in, because it does feel
- 25:58Speaker 5: like there's already so much pressure on this piggyback situation
- 26:01Speaker 5: and on everything you know, going well. Everybody's watching it
- 26:05Speaker 5: with eagle eyed vision for anything that could go wrong
- 26:09Speaker 5: so that they can bolster their argument that the piggyback sucks.
- 26:12Speaker 5: And so to have that happen the second Castillo comes
- 26:15Speaker 5: in after they'd been so great for Miller, I mean,
- 26:18Speaker 5: there were still some great defensive plays. Cole Young's jump
- 26:22Speaker 5: up to I mean that grab was awesome, but it was, oh,
- 26:25Speaker 5: you know, it was just unfortunate to be watching this
- 26:28Speaker 5: game that was going so well and then to have
- 26:31Speaker 5: those mistakes one after another.
- 26:33Speaker 4: It was it was very frustrating.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I mean, kind of excellent on Luis's part to only
- 26:38Speaker 1: give up the two runs.
- 26:40Speaker 4: And I was worried that he was going to get
- 26:41Speaker 4: rattled by their mistakes.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Yeah, so to keep it tied, to get it into
- 26:45Speaker 1: extra innings and still have enough strength and he looked good, Yeah,
- 26:49Speaker 1: he did. It looked a lot better than what the
- 26:50Speaker 1: results and only one of those runs ended up being earned,
- 26:54Speaker 1: and probably you could make an argument that neither of
- 26:57Speaker 1: those runs should have been earned. I mean, you had
- 26:59Speaker 1: to give Core and Carrol a double on that play somehow,
- 27:02Speaker 1: even though that should have either one of those infielders
- 27:05Speaker 1: should have had that ball. Cole should have had it,
- 27:07Speaker 1: JP should have had it, and then because they thought
- 27:10Speaker 1: the other one had a better angle, none of them
- 27:12Speaker 1: ended up with it, and so you end up having
- 27:15Speaker 1: an uncomfortable couple of innings there. Other than that, Castillo
- 27:19Speaker 1: was outstanding yesterday and has been outstanding in this piggyback,
- 27:24Speaker 1: no doubt. His three best performances have come in this piggyback.
- 27:29Speaker 1: But B is not for Luis. That didn't even make sense.
- 27:33Speaker 1: B is for Bryce. So I want to talk about
- 27:36Speaker 1: Bryce Miller here because they're scrapping the piggyback for a
- 27:42Speaker 1: couple turns. I'm not sure why, because it's worked really
- 27:46Speaker 1: well the last two times through the rotation and wasn't
- 27:50Speaker 1: a disaster in round number one of it. And so
- 27:54Speaker 1: for them, even without a day even with a day off,
- 27:58Speaker 1: I should say this week they're still going to go
- 28:00Speaker 1: to a six man rotation. It seems odd timing well.
- 28:03Speaker 4: When you're going on the road too. I didn't get it.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's an you knew that it wasn't an
- 28:09Speaker 1: ideal situation, and yet the last couple of outings have
- 28:12Speaker 1: been rather ideal, and so for you to scrap that
- 28:17Speaker 1: and go back to the sixth man now seems kind
- 28:20Speaker 1: of odd, I thought so to me. But I think
- 28:23Speaker 1: what's going to end up emerging from all of this
- 28:25Speaker 1: is that on the other side of the six man rotation,
- 28:28Speaker 1: assuming everybody stays healthy and that nobody makes it obvious
- 28:33Speaker 1: they shouldn't be in the starting rotation by getting lit
- 28:35Speaker 1: up in two consecutive outings. I think that Bryce Miller
- 28:41Speaker 1: is too good for the piggyback. I think Bryce Miller
- 28:44Speaker 1: is one of our three best starters, maybe one of
- 28:48Speaker 1: our two best, maybe our best. I said it, so,
- 28:53Speaker 1: I think he's too good for this. He's not the
- 28:55Speaker 1: guy that I would piggyback with. And maybe that's why
- 28:59Speaker 1: they're doing this. Let's go six man rotation and two
- 29:02Speaker 1: straight rotations, and then that gives us the excuse to
- 29:05Speaker 1: kind of grade everybody evenly across the board. They all
- 29:09Speaker 1: got two starts over the span of twelve games. Yeah,
- 29:13Speaker 1: and now we can make our more permanent plans going
- 29:18Speaker 1: forward as to how we want to conduct this cause
- 29:22Speaker 1: Steele looks like a really good relief pitcher to me.
- 29:24Speaker 1: That's what he looks like to me.
- 29:26Speaker 4: I mean, he's been spectacular.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and Bryce looks like a great starter, So I
- 29:31Speaker 1: think that's what's eventually going to come out in the wash.
- 29:35Speaker 1: But my guess is that they're going back to the
- 29:37Speaker 1: six man rotation here for the next two weeks to
- 29:40Speaker 1: kind of come up with a permanent solution as long
- 29:44Speaker 1: as all six guys are available to them.
- 29:47Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm going to be really intrigued.
- 29:48Speaker 3: One.
- 29:49Speaker 5: As we said, I don't understand why we're going to
- 29:50Speaker 5: the six man but they're doing it. So now I'm
- 29:52Speaker 5: going to be really intrigued how that goes. And then
- 29:54Speaker 5: once that's done, from two turns through, what's next. It's
- 29:58Speaker 5: kind of like as the world turns.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, my prediction is that Bryce will not be
- 30:04Speaker 1: piggybacked again. Yeah, that is my prediction. I think Castillo
- 30:08Speaker 1: very well could be. I think there are a couple
- 30:10Speaker 1: of other candidates within the rotation that could be. I
- 30:14Speaker 1: still think Emerson might be the guy, just through pure
- 30:18Speaker 1: inexperience of having gone a full season as a you know,
- 30:22Speaker 1: a guy in the rotation. Maybe he's a candidate. But
- 30:26Speaker 1: I don't think Bryce comes out on the other side
- 30:28Speaker 1: of this in the piggyback anymore. I think he's going
- 30:31Speaker 1: to be stretched out and allowed to start for the
- 30:34Speaker 1: rest of the season. Finally, see is for copycats and
- 30:37Speaker 1: for everybody that cried, oh, it's a disaster. What are
- 30:42Speaker 1: we doing? We're an unserious organization.
- 30:46Speaker 4: So many unserious comments.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Well, teams are already copying the piggyback. They did it
- 30:53Speaker 1: last night in the Cubs Cardinals game between Matt libretire
- 30:57Speaker 1: and Hunter Dobbins. You saw the let's do it yesterday.
- 31:01Speaker 1: That was more because of a blowout. But I think
- 31:04Speaker 1: you're gonna see not only was it not a disaster,
- 31:07Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of major league
- 31:08Speaker 1: teams implement this. Now they don't have the six guys
- 31:12Speaker 1: we have, right, but for example the Yankees, if Luis
- 31:16Speaker 1: Heel gets healthy again, if he heals, if he'll heals,
- 31:20Speaker 1: then they they didn't know what to do with him
- 31:22Speaker 1: coming out of spring training, so they sent him down
- 31:25Speaker 1: to the miners, which didn't make him happy at all.
- 31:28Speaker 1: And so maybe other teams are going to rip this
- 31:33Speaker 1: page out of the book and implement it. Themselves. My
- 31:38Speaker 1: guess is we're going to see other teams copy this
- 31:41Speaker 1: going forward.
- 31:42Speaker 4: And I wouldn't be surprised.
- 31:43Speaker 5: And it is funny too, how all of a sudden,
- 31:45Speaker 5: after the second sweep in a row, all of those
- 31:47Speaker 5: unseerious comments went away.
- 31:49Speaker 1: It was weird and maybe they maybe they were unseerious.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Maybe they were unseerious about how serious the Mariners are.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Yes, their accusations were unseious. Serious accusations runs.
- 32:01Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense what I'm saying, or does it?
- 32:04Speaker 1: I don't know. Coming up next week, close out this
- 32:07Speaker 1: Monday show with One Last Thing Sports Radio ninety three
- 32:10Speaker 1: point three KKRFM. Har right, final segment of this Monday

- 32:35Speaker 3: So?
- 32:36Speaker 4: Did you see the photo of Wemby holding a baseball?
- 32:39Speaker 1: I think I have seen that in the past.
- 32:41Speaker 5: Yeah, well it was circulating again this weekend and it
- 32:45Speaker 5: looks like a golf ball in my hand. Right, it's
- 32:47Speaker 5: the same thing all I noticed, though, is how long
- 32:51Speaker 5: his nail beds are. Oh, and how jealous I am
- 32:54Speaker 5: because I bet they would look great with a manicure.
- 32:56Speaker 5: That's I literally have spent far too much time thinking
- 32:58Speaker 5: about that. I wish I had those long, glamorous nail beds.
- 33:01Speaker 5: I'd have the best manicure ever.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Always.
- 33:03Speaker 1: I don't think you want seven foot five inch nail beds.
- 33:06Speaker 5: No, probably not, but it would be not the whole.
- 33:09Speaker 5: But just if I had the nail I.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Guess if I had that version of it on my
- 33:13Speaker 4: own hands, i'd be great.
- 33:14Speaker 1: It'd be great.
- 33:14Speaker 4: He just had very glamorous nail beds, And all I
- 33:16Speaker 4: kept thinking.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Is a nail bed.
- 33:18Speaker 5: It's like just the whole before where your nail is
- 33:22Speaker 5: not attached to your finger anymore.
- 33:24Speaker 4: It's the whole part that's attached to your finger.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Okay, okay, his would.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Be the version I think. If you put his nail
- 33:29Speaker 5: bed on my finger, it would be down to my knuckle.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be weird on me like that, But I'm
- 33:35Speaker 4: just saying.
- 33:35Speaker 5: Oh.
- 33:36Speaker 4: I kept thinking, oh my gosh, I would love to
- 33:38Speaker 4: give him a manicure. That'd be so fun.
- 33:40Speaker 1: It would take forever.
- 33:42Speaker 4: It probably would. It probably would. But yes, that's it.
- 33:47Speaker 1: That's it.
- 33:48Speaker 4: I have thought about it far too much. I keep
- 33:50Speaker 4: picturing it. I think I've been thinking about it three
- 33:53Speaker 4: times a day all weekend.
- 33:54Speaker 1: I think that's cute. Ale.
- 33:58Speaker 4: That was really bad but awesome.
- 34:04Speaker 1: H well, I don't know, does he He probably gets
- 34:07Speaker 1: them done?
- 34:08Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he gets me. They were in very good shape. Yeah,
- 34:11Speaker 5: very nicely taken care of nails. He doesn't get them
- 34:14Speaker 5: painted or anything, but we might.
- 34:16Speaker 3: He could.
- 34:18Speaker 4: Maybe gets French tips.
- 34:20Speaker 1: They do things a little differently.
- 34:21Speaker 4: French manicure.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they just call it a manicure.
- 34:25Speaker 5: There, that's right, Just like California Pizza kitchen. It's just
- 34:27Speaker 5: the pizza kitchen in California.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Oh huh uh huh. Everyone knows that toast is toast.
- 34:34Speaker 1: You can dip it an egg batter all you want.
- 34:36Speaker 4: That's right, that's just, that's right. Still toast toast.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Pass meis for eyes.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Yeah, oh gosh, fries. I could go some fries. I'm hungry.
- 34:48Speaker 3: All right.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I'm gonna use my one last thing on one of
- 34:51Speaker 1: the more bizarre things that I've seen watching sports, and
- 34:55Speaker 1: I don't think the people broadcasting the game, were giving
- 34:59Speaker 1: it nearly enough attention. Okay, But I don't know if
- 35:03Speaker 1: you heard about the Hazu Sanchez story, but Haesu Sanchez
- 35:07Speaker 1: a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, And so the
- 35:11Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Orioles were playing on Peacock Sunday morning.
- 35:17Speaker 1: It was the Sunday game that was the first one.
- 35:19Speaker 1: They always do the very first game on Sunday. It's
- 35:21Speaker 1: at like at nine to fifteen, so they get the
- 35:23Speaker 1: they get to get out of the gates on everybody
- 35:26Speaker 1: plays on Sundays, and so there's one game that's isolated
- 35:29Speaker 1: early on. So the broadcast team is a national broadcast team.
- 35:33Speaker 1: It's Matt Vaskersion who I tend to like, Jim Palmer
- 35:37Speaker 1: who's a legend from the Orioles, and then they had
- 35:40Speaker 1: Dexter Fowler on from the Blue Jays. So just very
- 35:43Speaker 1: similar to what they do on NBC. They get the
- 35:45Speaker 1: local broadcasters to come on and be a part of
- 35:49Speaker 1: the broadcast. But I don't know if it's just like
- 35:53Speaker 1: their unfamiliarity with each other. But I don't know if
- 35:57Speaker 1: I've ever heard a booth a story like this more
- 36:05Speaker 1: in my entire lives. So Jesus Sanchez is standing in
- 36:09Speaker 1: right field and a fan threw a baseball at him
- 36:12Speaker 1: and hit him in the wrist right from the stands,
- 36:15Speaker 1: right and to the degree that he had to come
- 36:18Speaker 1: out of the game. Hey, we've never seen this before.
- 36:22Speaker 1: We have never seen like somebody. We've seen people go
- 36:24Speaker 1: into the stands, but we've never seen a fan throw
- 36:29Speaker 1: a baseball in the middle of a game that hits
- 36:32Speaker 1: a player and the injury causes the player to leave
- 36:36Speaker 1: the game. That's called a salt. That's just not that's not.
- 36:40Speaker 4: Just you know, we're gonna that's not a whoopsie.
- 36:44Speaker 1: You're not. You're getting kicked out of the game here, buddy,
- 36:47Speaker 1: for that kind of act.
- 36:48Speaker 4: That is that's like the ball accidentally fell out of
- 36:50Speaker 4: your hands.
- 36:51Speaker 1: We take you out in cuffs, and you are going
- 36:54Speaker 1: to spend time in jail downstairs, and you might, depending
- 36:58Speaker 1: on how Jesus Sanchez in the Blue Jays want to
- 37:01Speaker 1: approach this, we might you might go to jail for this.
- 37:05Speaker 1: That's called assault. We can't just if I was just
- 37:08Speaker 1: standing down on the streets and somebody walked by and
- 37:11Speaker 1: I just threw a baseball at them while they were working. Yeah,
- 37:14Speaker 1: not allowed in decent society. So anyway, here's the grand
- 37:20Speaker 1: total of the analysis that the network provided. A quote,
- 37:25Speaker 1: an odd turn of events, and how about this game
- 37:30Speaker 1: bradish is pitching.
- 37:31Speaker 4: That's literally all they said.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Well, they covered it initially about him coming out of
- 37:35Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, but that would that not take over
- 37:38Speaker 1: the rest of the at least ending yes, and probably
- 37:42Speaker 1: the rest of the game when you are talking about
- 37:45Speaker 1: a player who has been removed because a fan assaulted
- 37:49Speaker 1: them in the middle of the game, and they spent
- 37:51Speaker 1: such little time on it, they didn't go back, we
- 37:54Speaker 1: didn't find out the story. It was horribly handled yesterday,
- 38:00Speaker 1: and it turns out here's the story. This is why
- 38:04Speaker 1: it ended up not being as big a deal. Jesus
- 38:07Speaker 1: Sanchez was going back and forth with a twelve year
- 38:10Speaker 1: old baseball fan in right field in between innings, and
- 38:16Speaker 1: the fan had a ball and Sanchez was like joking about, hey,
- 38:22Speaker 1: throw it here. Well, the inning starts and the twelve
- 38:26Speaker 1: year old fan decides, now I'm going to throw him
- 38:28Speaker 1: the ball. And so it was a twelve year old.
- 38:33Speaker 1: I think if it would have been an adult, we'd
- 38:35Speaker 1: probably be talking about it a lot here nationally. But
- 38:39Speaker 1: because it was a kid. They were like, well, we
- 38:41Speaker 1: kind of have to forgive the kid.
- 38:42Speaker 4: Yeah, he wasn't trying to hurt him or do anything.
- 38:45Speaker 1: But he hurt him right, and he took him out
- 38:47Speaker 1: of the game. And in the moment, we didn't know
- 38:50Speaker 1: that it was a kid. We thought some drunken fan
- 38:52Speaker 1: threw an object out of the stands and took a
- 38:55Speaker 1: player out of the baseball game, and the broadcast crew
- 38:59Speaker 1: treated it like it was just, oh, what an interesting
- 39:01Speaker 1: side note.
- 39:03Speaker 4: Oh if you're wondering why he's Sanchez, Yeah.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Just totally botched by the network. Everybody, everybody on social media, like,
- 39:12Speaker 1: what is going on? Yeah, what happened? Why aren't you
- 39:16Speaker 1: talking about this right now? Is he okay? What's where
- 39:19Speaker 1: did the fan come from? Why is the fan being
- 39:23Speaker 1: not being shown? Why is he not being made an
- 39:26Speaker 1: example of? Why aren't we seeing him in cuffs so
- 39:29Speaker 1: that we show fans that are watching never ever do
- 39:34Speaker 1: this again? And then later we find out it's a
- 39:36Speaker 1: twelve year old and misunderstanding and all's forgiven because he's twelve.
- 39:41Speaker 1: I guess right. All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow
