5-15 H2: Gary Hill Jr. Joins, Reading Your Texts & Cross Talk · The Gregg Bell Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Down, it's only May. Did they perhaps looking back, I
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: know hindsight is perfect, but did they perhaps wait too long?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And maybe the injury is going to be a little
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: longer recovery now because they let him grind through and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: play through that oblique for another week.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Well, in retrospect, I think you look at it now
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: that he's re injured himself and say, well, you know,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: if you put him on the aisle right away, maybe
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you get a week or a week.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: And a half back or something like that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: But he was.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Catching through it and playing through it and it wasn't
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: until it grabbed him. So yeah, I think it's a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it's an easy thing to say now that they should
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: have done something differently because it didn't work out. But
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, with the info at the time and the
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: fact that he was catching every day led me to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: think that it wasn't you know, it wasn't an issue
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: that kept him from performing, and who knows, like that
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: was kind of an awkward movement too that got him,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: So that doesn't happen.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Injuries are so right because it's always hard to know exactly, well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: what if we would have done this differently or this differently,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, maybe it would have changed it,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: maybe it wouldn't have no idea.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: But the awkward movement kind of got him.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: If that doesn't happen, who knows what happens, right, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: just hope now that it's not very long. We'll find
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: out more when we go to the ballpark today. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: then you hope, I think, if you're kind of silver
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: lining this thing, you hope that he comes back and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: just kind of has a reset because we haven't really
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: seen the cow at the plate all season that you're
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: hoping for, and you just hope that the Mariners can
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: find a way and play well in the stretch and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: score runs in the stretch and get the col Rawley
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: back in the middle of the order and he starts
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: thundering homers the rest of the way. That's kind of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I think what you're hoping for at this point.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Somewhat under overlooked in all of this. Mitch Garver, he's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: been okay more than okay, and he's really good at
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: challenging pitches. I mean, I know if he's missed one yet,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: would you say Mitch Garver's maybe a little unsung hero
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of this whole thing.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You know, he is excellent at that. It's funny. We
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: were just talking to him about challenging pitches. It was
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: really interesting to hear him talk about it because he
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: has worked really hard at framing, but there's certain pitches
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that he knows that he missed, like he's taken it
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: out of the zone kind of thing, and he knows this.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: He's worked hard at it, but he knows there's times
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: where he takes it out of the zone. He feels
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: like ABS is a way to get those back, which
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I think is super interesting. So, you know, as much
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: as he's worked at framing, he's like, oh, now I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: have this other tool. I know it's a strike, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: took it out of the zone. I can get it back,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: which I think is really interesting. And he's it's also
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: interesting to hear him talk about as a hitter and catcher.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: He feels like it's easier to do it as a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: catcher in terms of just steel of the strike zone
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: as opposed to a hitter, which I thought was super interesting.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: But he's like the perfect.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Backup catcher, I think, because he knows the staff, he
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: can come.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Into a game and pop a homer like he did
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: last game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: He's just the perfect guy as a backup, and then
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: if you need him for a couple of weeks to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: play a little bit more.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: You feel comfortable with doing that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And I also say he's been pretty productive against lefties
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and that's kind of where they spotted him. So he's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: going to take on some extra here in the next
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: little bit. But it's good to have, especially when you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: kind of survey the catching landscape in Major League Baseball,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: like not every team has a capable backup to stand
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in and just handle a staff, because that's basically what
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you're asking. Hey, handle a staff and you can run
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: into one, you know, every now and again. Great, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: really handling the staff and performing defensively is the most
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: important part.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I think in this stretch without.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Cal Mitch garverg took a lot of heat in this
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: market last year, and good for him for this offseason
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he's off to This is, of course, a familiar voice
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of Gary Hill, Junior Marrin's broadcaster on the Beacon Plumbing
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Hotline on ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Gary this stretch without cow could it reveal whether the
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Mariners offense is actually deep enough to be a real
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: playoff contender.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You think.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: It's a good question.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be hard, There's no question, because he is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a bat in the middle of the lineup and everything
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he did last year, this is not going to be
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: an easy stretch. What I have found interesting if you
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: look at the last month, for example, and it's a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: month where Cal has struggled. It's not like he has
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: hit a dozen homers in the past month, right He's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: he's scuffled, he's been hurt. And through that, the Mariners
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: top ten batting average in Baseball, top ten on base
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: top ten slugging. They're actually fifth in home runs in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the past month. They're just outside of the top ten
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and runs scored. And I think that gives you optimism
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in this stretch without Cal, because you there are still
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: guys in the lineup, like Julio has been excellent, he's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: off to the best start in his career. Donovan is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: back and he makes an enormous difference for this lineup,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you know, and Naylor and Randy and Raley JP.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: They're all capable guys.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So I think certainly they can survive this stretch without Cal,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and maybe even better than survive, like if they're hanging
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: around top ten. That's gonna work, especially with their pitching
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: getting more healthy in the back end of the bullpen.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a good question. It's not gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: be easy, but I think it's possible for them to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: still be good offensively in this stretch.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Well, let's talk a little bit about those Astros, because
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the Mariners, they.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: They've had some dominance over them.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: And I think, well, let me ask you, does it
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: say more about the Mariners improving mentally just getting over
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: that hump in that rivalry, or more about maybe the
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Astros on the decline because they are not what they
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: used to be.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny when you kind of look at
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: how this series has played out between the two teams,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: because really you start to look at started.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: In twenty three.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The Mariners took the season series that year from the Astros.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: They did it again in twenty four, they did it
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: again last year.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: This is a fourth year running.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Mariners have already secured the season series
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: against the Astros. This is a fourth year running the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Mariners have taken the season series from Houston. Now, they
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: didn't take the division until last year, but just head
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to head, it's really turned the last few years. And
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I gotta say it was a lot of fun being
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in that building the last few days because there are
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: some bad memories that go along with that building.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And as we know, these teams have had a lot
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: of battles. But you know, they took three or four.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They didn't sweep it, but it was pretty dominant in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: those four games. You kind of look game by games.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: The Astros literally led for half an inning in that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: entire series, right, and they won one of the game.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: You know, they they walked one of them off, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: they led in the bottom of the eighth. In that series,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the Mariners tied it in the ninth and then they
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: walked it off, like they led for half an inning.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You watch those games play out head to head, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the Mariners just look like a much better team. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I know the Astros are beat up, but I was
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: thinking about them. You know, it's just a couple of
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: years ago. There were twelve games below five hundred and May,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and they stormed back. They won the division, They passed
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. They won eighty eight games. But that Astros
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: team felt like a good team just not playing well.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: All their stars were still there, you know, Tucker, all
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: those guys. I look at this Astros team and they
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: have problems. Even when Hater comes back and Penya comes
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: back and some of these guys get healthy, this looks
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like a team that has problems. And I gotta say this,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Mariner's run against them has been super funn enjoy this.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So it was so quiet on the broadcast at times,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I think you could probably hear some trash cans getting
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: banged out of the dugout. I don't know.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It was so quiet, very different because that building is
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: always so loud. You know, it's it's enclosed, it's loud.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: They're pumping up the noise and the music and the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: sound and all that stuff and the crowd and everything else.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And that was not the case in the last four
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: games for sure.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Gary Luis Castilla yesterday only one run allowed while he
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: was in the game and a couple more tech done
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: after he left, got into the sixth inning, allowing only
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: four hits. Did walk three more and that's been a problem.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But do you think he quitted himself well to continue
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this six man rotation. I don't see that they're at
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a decision point yet on whether they what they do with.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That I thought he was really good yesterday. And the context, too,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I think is really important because there was some pressure
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: on him to go deep in the game, probably more
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: pressure than any starter has had in a game this season, because.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: You know, Farrera wasn't there. They had to activate him.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Because of rules, and he wasn't there. And good on
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the Mariners because you know, he just had a baby
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to red eye him for a day game in Houston
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and then fly right back to Seattle after a newborn.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I'm glad they didn't ask him to do that. I'm
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: glad he stayed home just as a person, right, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: he's someone that's he's taken the ball for the Mariners
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: at times three games in a row, like he's doing
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: his part. I'm glad they didn't bring him out to Houston,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: even though they had to activate.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Him, so they were short there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: The Hoppy had pitched a couple in a row, Bizarro
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: had pitched three or four, so you were wondering going
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: into the game, like, man, if this thing's close, or
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: if Castile gets blown up, what are they gonna do?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And in the context, I thought he pitched really well and.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Two of those walks came early.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You know he threw quite twenty four pitches I think
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: in the first, so a lot of pitches the first,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: but I really thought he settled in after that. It's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: unfortunate that double off the Crawford box wall all score
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: two in the six, because I think his final line
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: was actually not as good as he pitched like we
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: saw it ninety eight. We saw in ninety seven, we
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: saw the high fastball.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: He mixed things up well.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a really good outing, especially the context,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and I think something to build from moving forward to
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and Miller pitched well like Miller his first time out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He looked good, So I think the context is pretty funny.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: As you know, the Astro is just desperate to get
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a starter in there that can give them anything like
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: four or five six innings, and here the Mariners are
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out, what are we going to do
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: with six guys. The contrast was just right in your
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: face in that series.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You know what, I was appreciated the Mariners. What he
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: did with for is missus Forrer. I mean that, yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: pretty cool for dad to be on a newborn. Absolutely,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I want to get your thoughts on Randy because he's
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: always been I don't want to say streaky, but he's
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: been a productive player this season. What differences are you
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: seeing and has approached so far this year? And that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: allowed to be so consistent.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, consistent is the perfect word. That is
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: what has been striking I think for Randy because he's
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a guy that he's he can kind of ride the wave,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: like he'll get super hot and be really good and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: then kind of hit a valley, you know, that sort
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: of thing. But the consistency has really stood out to me.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: So far this year.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And you know, they on base percentage, it's climbing to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: three ninety at this point. I mean that's great, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you know, four homers but eleven doubles, So it's not
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: like the slug hasn't been there either.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: He's just been good all the way around.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: He's rated well as an outfielder defensively and left field,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and in a lineup where they had so many guys
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: struggling for so much of the season, he's really been
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: somebody the Mariners have been able to count on all
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: season long.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: He's already guy too.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for this,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: but he posts like He plays every single day, even
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: when he's banged up, he plays through it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: He finds a way to make it happen.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And I've just really appreciated what he's done this year
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and just how solid he's been, just every single day.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Getting on base.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Of course, he gets hit by pitches all the time
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: because that's what he does. That's one of his skill
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: sets he's proven over time. But he has been so
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: valuable to the Mariners.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Gary, I want to ask you an off your question.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: What it's been like this year to travel with your
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: great friend Rickriz and the cities you're going to. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: saw Chicago, the White Sox fitted him and his final
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: season after forty one years of broadcasting with the Mariners.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: What that experience in what you've watched and witness.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It's been great.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Yesterday in Houston they had a big cake for him.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: They put him on the video board. Yeah, and you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: we get to know, especially the other broadcasters really well,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: especially the ones in the division. We all become friends
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: because we see each other, you know, so many times
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: in the course of the year, and it's just really
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: fun to see all the appreciation. And it started in
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: spring training. It was some of my favorite memories of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the season so far. You know, in spring, our booth
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: is lower, kind of in the stands, and so after games,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: we'd have Mariner fans just kinda walk up after games
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and get a ball signed by Rake and a picture
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: taken and a hat sign that sort of thing, because
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: everyone was right there and it's been that sort of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: celebration all season long. Chicago was really special for him too.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: He got a chance to go back home and you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: walk around and kind of knowing it's going to be
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: his last time broadcasting at that ballpark, you know, right
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: across the street from where he grew up watching ballgames.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And he actually went on White Sox radio too for
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: half an inning.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So just he got a chance to call his hometown
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: team on radio for half an inning while we were there,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: which I think is super cool. But to see the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: celebration and I appreciate I think even more as someone
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: who grew up listening to him, Like Rick and Dave,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: they're the ones that sparked us. For me, I would
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: not be here without listening to them growing up. And
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: you know, just to be a small part of this
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: journey at the end, I'm just so thankful for I'm
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: so happy to be along for the ride.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Well said, so you do a hell of a job
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: as well, and that's great for you to be the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: witness to all of this. We appreciate you coming on, Gary,
• 14:23

• 17:35
  Speaker 4: four two five. How many times have people texted you
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: and asked why you called the Padres the dads?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Is that a really legitimate question if people not know
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Spanish at all, not even Spanglish. Oh wow, the word
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: is I didn't even think of that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I know what, I know what the I know what
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: pot andre and Spanish means father.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Wow. Colloquially often called dadda San Francisco, dads San Diego.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: But excuse me, but yeah, I thought that was just common.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I think people just didn't realize obviously it's Spanish and
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: just was like padres padres.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Didn't think like I lived in California for a while
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and no one's ever been like, maybe changed the name.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I guess not. Well, they're so close to the Mexican
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: border that a lot of their fans are in Mexico,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and a lot of their fans are Spanish speaking and
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: interesting padres. This is stretch.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: There's probably people like dug but at the same time,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: never thought of it like that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm really my son last when I.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Now I get it because I was like, why does
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: big calm the dad? But I just never asked because
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I'm like, it's not that serious.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I thought that was four two five.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: You're not alone. Dad's trash can is obvious. So maybe
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: not they cheated unless you didn't watch baseball at all. Sure,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: all right, here we go from the two o six
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: true story. I have a bottle of Supersonic cologne at home.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Never used it, but it's still cool. And that's in
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: reference to me talking about the Seahawks dropping their new
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: line of cologne.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: When was that the SuperSonics colone? Was that back when
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Sean Camp and Gary Payton six? Can you tell us
• 19:22

  Speaker 4: You give us some insight here on this cologne you
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: got there?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Because Greg and I are curious. That'd be some vintage
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: seventy nine championship cologne. That'd be some vintage stuff.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, I my son at you know high is bitter,
• 19:35

  Speaker 1: A's my esteem. Nick Peters, a Baseball Hall of Fame
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: writer for the Second One to Be, was a long
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: time beat writer for the Giants, wrote books on the Giants.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Revered figure in the Giants, Nick Peters said, Greg, we're swinging.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: It was my first year on the beat. He said, Greg,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we're switching. You're going to I'm going to New York
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and Chicago with the A's, two of his favorite city,

• 20:16
  Speaker 1: going to Houston and Saint Louis with the Giants. Houston
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and Saint Louis in mid July. The first night in

  Speaker 1: Saint Louis, I'm covering the Giants in Barry Bonds was
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: back for a fly ball and loses it in moths.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It was so humid in Saint Louis that night there
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: were moths overtaking the stadium. There was an outdoor press
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: box in Bush Stadium, then the old Bush Stadium, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he lost the ball in the moth. It went off
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of Barry Bonds's head and went over the wall. It
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: was the only time after a game that I ever
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: spoke to Barry Bonds at his locker, and he was
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: jovial and joking about it. He was laughing about it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And then I went to Houston. It was like four
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: hundred degrees in three hundred percent you made I was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: trying to run this younger late twenties. I was running
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: outside in the morning and people were honking their horns
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and pointing at me. People in Houston don't go outside
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in the summer, especially it's air conditioning and cement. That's Houston.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And when it's four hundred degrees outside. If you've been
• 21:17

• 23:06
  Speaker 4: amount of money. I will watch it on TV.
• 23:09

• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Thanks Dan. All right?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Uh here we go from the two to six. Any
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: rumors on they want to sell the team and give
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: the proceeds to charity, but they want five hundred dollars
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: for seats to the game.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Not interested? We talking about the Seahawks. No, I believe
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that could be m Sounders. No, the Seahawks are selling
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: their team with the proceeds Paul g Allen's trust mandated
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: five hundred bucks for a Seahawk game.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Though that sounds about reasonable, especially considering they're a Super
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Bowl champ, that is not reasonable.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, never mind, if you take a family of four,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that's two thousand dollars.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Depends on where you're sitting though, right doesn't matter that's crazy.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Well they don't think it like that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: That is crazy. Super Bowl tickets thirty nine hundred dollars
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: face value. You better be, you better bringing in some
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: serious you know that. I know season ticket holders who
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: were glad they didn't win the lottery last year. Well yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: because okay, yeah, because they didn't want to be in
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a position of turning down winning the lottery for nine
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars for themselves and their wife or one of
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: their kids. Going got the note on the super Sonic
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: cologne from the Tuo side came out in seventy seven. Damn.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: So that is vintage.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Glass bottle shaped like a trophy with the Sonics logo
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Hey man, really yeah? Seventy seven? It says came on
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy seven, forty nine years ago. He's got
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: colonne from forty nine years. If he ever used that,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's he.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: If he ever used that, that would be either that
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: would be the most attractive Colonne ever or the most
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: repulsive of rancid forty nine years spoiled.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: What would that? I guess that would be great? Huh vintage?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Is it like wine? The longer you wait? Oh, I
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, you know what, that's really cool? Yeah, in for me,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: last one for me, because this also could this also
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: is true. You're kind of correct. Padres and Spanish is dead,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: but I'm pretty sure it means the priest. We call
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: it padre a priest in Spanish.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is also known as father in Cathariny. You
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: forgot all about. Yes, but it also is colloquial. Those
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: friends I have that speak Spanish that padres de madre
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and padre so the priest are whooping behind on and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you know that. Yeah, well do you know what? The
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: logo and the mascot of a Friar are called the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Friars in San Diego, and in fact it's a priest
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in a brown hood cape. That is the logo the mascot.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Now I want to do a deep dive on every
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: single team. Now, yeah, trash can is easy. You don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: have to have to worry on that one. We know what,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: you know, you got a couple more to go, but
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: it's all good.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Wow, all right about that? Duh? Yeah, the Friars insane Ago,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they're known as the Friars. Listen here two six. I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: did learn some Spanish. I just stopped out for Spanish too.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I should have continued the four two five. Wants to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: know if I'm willing on that bet, saying that Kyle
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Rawy could miss two months and I'm willing to bet
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the Mariners will be within three games of first place.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Willing to bet you have to wear a Navy hat
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: or shirt on camera if you lose. That's a great deal, man.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Well that's but see, that's a multi prong bet because one,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Kyle Rawley has to be out for two months, and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: two then the Mariners would have to be within three games.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: You said it, and the listeners are saying, yeah, Greg,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: all right, so what if they what if it is true?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: What is what does the listener have to do? How
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: about one hundred push ups in the studio? We got
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to bring him in here. He's got to do He
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and I do one hundred push ups? Geez? How many
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: reps can you get out before you get tired? Sixty?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I can get to seventy. Take a break. Dang, that's
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: clickerboard in the military. You know what a clickerboard is.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: But how about that? All right? Four two five, I'll
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: take you on your bet, because this is all predicated
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: on Rawley's gonna have to miss two months, that's about right.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: But if he does and they are within three games
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: on July fifteenth, the first place, if they are within
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: three games, four two five has to come into the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: studio and do one hundred push ups with me on
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: live on YouTube.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Is there a time limit to get this done? Under
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: two minutes? In my APF T days it was two minutes.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I could do that, but that would suck.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: But I I can do about seventy uninterrupted without stopping,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and then I have to stop and breaking. But if
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I if they don't, if they're not within three games,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the first place, with cal Rawley being out for two months,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: all right, I'll wear some squid gear. Got him calling
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a squid gear.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry for all the Navy folks that are like,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: who is this Greg Bell talking about squid gear.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'll come up, dude. Yeah, Oh that was good. Three
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: six So Seahawks travel miles with relatively good comparison to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the Ram. That is true. The Rams have thirty four thousand,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have thirty five thousand. The Seahawks
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: usually over thirty. They're only in twenty two thousand and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: ninth most, but the forty nine Ers and Rams of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: course have thirty five and thirty four thousand because they're
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: going all the way across the other side of globe
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and back to Australia for the first game. The forty
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: nine Ers had had the longest streak of not having
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: any international games. I think it was eleven or twelve years,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: So hell with them. They haven't gone anywhere for as
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: far fun as they are supposedly are, it's really fun
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to listen to Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago writers complain about
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: travel when they go about four thousand and five thousand
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: miles a year. The Sea Hawks are these Steelers. Some
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: of their games are bus ride to Cleveland. It's like
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a two hour bus ride and they take a bus.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia takes trains to New York for games. The players.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: That's happened before. Yeah, that's you got a little what
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the quickest trip is two and a half three hours. Oh,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: but we live in Seattle. We don't live in Cleveland,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: so that's good. You're kind of Oh, you got that already,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: all right. I think it's either Anderson Hurst or Ian Finness.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I never know who's coming in next. On ninety three
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM, Welcome back Greg Mell Show with Christopher Kid.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Chris and I just had an interesting discussion on baseball
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: mascots and the origins of them. And someone asked me,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they did about the A's and why there
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is an elephant standing on top of a baseball for
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the Yeah, where did the elephant come from? I covered
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the A's, so I know this story. It dates to
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the early nineteen hundred, nineteen oh two. Yeahcus, no the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame or the Hall of Fame. Manager John
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: McGraw of the New York Giants made public comments about
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: how he thought the A's were getting in Philadelphia Athletics
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: at the time. We're getting an unfair advantage on buying
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: all the best players in the league. And he said
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that the Asis have changed. Yeah, exactly, funny how that comes, right?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And John McGrath said that he the Philadelphia A's owner
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: must have a white elephant on it, probably has a
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: white elephant on his hands, meaning a burden. And so
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Connie Mack, another Hall of Fame right, Philadelphia A's manager
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of the time, said, Aha, We're going to make a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: white elephant our mascot. I leaned into it. Let's go,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and now the white elephant has become Stomper. That's the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: name of the A's mascot. My kids have Stomper dolls
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: still to this day from when we were they were
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: babies and I was covering the A's stomper. Yes, but
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that's the origin is that John McGraw called the A's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: owner having a white elephant, and Connie Max said, Oh,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that's going to be our mascot. So now you know,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: thanks for asking. On the text line, that's the voice
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: of Anderson Hurst. He's going to be in on Monday
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: for me. He's gonna be on the show next.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Let's see if Anderson knows this, because I was a
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: good question. So someone on the text line was like, Yo,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: why does Greg call the San Diego padres the dad's.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Know that one.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: It's really it's because married ar padre translated to English
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: is dad or father?
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that that backfire. A lot of people in the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Texas didn't know that really well, we didn't put we
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: we knew what the Spanish word meant, we just didn't
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: put it together. We just were like, why is he
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: calling them dad's dads? Exactly. The trash cans.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Well, that was simple, really simple. I guess I could
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: be wrong on both.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Ends, but hey, I do love when you're talking about mascots.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: The Friar, Yes, as the Padre. That's that's really cool.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: They are And in San Diego they're known as the Friars.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: That's what they're called. And in fact, the old Qualcomm Stadium,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the road, the main road street to get into Qualcombe
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Stadium was called Friar's Drive Drive. It was a I
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: covered a Super Bowl off Friar's Drive Stadium.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I've heard really good things about now pet Co Park.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: It's one of the best stadiums.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: In Garry Hill Junior. Just on what the Scenarigo said,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that's his favorite part. A lot of people like it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It's and the location is unbelievable. Gaslin District of San Diego.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Anderson Hurst is going to be in pinchionting for me
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on Monday. I am going to be at a military ball.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I was just mentioning I'm going to be in a tuxedo,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and Anderson looked at up. When the last time you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: were in a tuxedo? And I started thinking, I don't
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: think I've ever been in a tuxedo. This don't mean
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: my first time ever, because when I got married, I'm
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: for prom I don't think I think I wore a suit.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: And maybe I wore a tuxedo for prompt. This was
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight eighty nine, so I probably had a
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: everyone tuxes during the time. Chris, Chris is just a gast.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I don't have a cane. I did walk in under
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: my own power. This is the man that can do
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: fifty seventy push ups in a row. So there's no
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: shade here. No shade. But I don't think you're right, Andrews.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I probably wore it for my senior year prom in
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine and Stuben of Ohio big red. But
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: my wedding I wore my army whites. That's one of
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: my favorite traditions, by the way, and I was a
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: captain at the time and my mom insisted I wanted
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to wear a tuxedo. My mom said, no, you're wearing
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: dress whites, a military your dressiest military uniform. I didn't
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: have it because we didn't have it for duty. So
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I had the special order it from Baltimore Wow, and
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I ordered it cost a few hundred dollars, maybe close
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to one thousand back then, cheaper than tuxedos. Probably that's true.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I just ran into tuxedo in a store here that
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it's actually a man's warehouse that's right outside of my
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: daughter's place in Connecticut. It costs three hundred dollars one
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: for one night. I'm wearing the Sean Connery double seventy
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: eight fat bow tie nineteen sixty franc sinop. Not the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: clip on, no, not the skinny no, no no, I'm
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: wearing bring it on, tear drop. Let's go. So that's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: what I'll be doing Monday. Should we call in on
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Greg during the show? Do that? Like check in on
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: him so you be all right?
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: And when he doesn't answer, exactly answer if you guys
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: call there's a lot of pressure Greg. I know, we
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: don't know when we could be called. Well, actually we
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: do know, but timing might not think. You might not
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: think the time will work.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Until you get down you're like, oh, yeah, I'm going
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: to be on a golf course at the Mohegan Sun
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: on Monday morning at that at the time the show's
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: going on, because we're going to have a golf tournament
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: with the cadets, My daughter and I and her best
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: friend and her father from Boston. We're all gonna I've
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: got a Seahawks gag. You're a golf guy. I'm not, Oh,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: but I'm becoming one. Okay. I golfed before my kids
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: are born, and as you now know as a dad,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: once the kids are born, your wife goes. You ain't
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: hitting golf ball for six hours much get these kids
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: much less time to do that. My golf game stopped
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: when I had two kids, and they really haven't picked
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: it up since. What are you got going today? We
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: got to talk to Danny O'Neill.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: I'm excited because one of his best friends, Jess McIntyre
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: is is producing today and co hosting as well.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: We got were wearing all the hats today is the
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Infernes will give Danny a dutifully hard time. I know
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: she will.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, And I'm excited for and I'm here for and
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: I'm going to take a backseat to that conversation. So
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to talk to him and see what
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: his thoughts are. We got Tighten Gonzalez from Lockdown Mariners
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: coming on at two o'clock. I'm gonna ask him about
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: the cal Rawley situation, the six man rotation, if it's
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: the right move and kind of, you know, looking forward,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: how how confident is he that Mitch Garver's gonna kind
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: of fill the role or is he, like, as we
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: talked about yesterday, at this current version of cal Rawley,
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: is Mitch Garver a better option right now? So I'm
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: excited to kind of pick his brain on that one
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: as him and I work together with lockdown Mariners.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Garryhill Junior told us a little about forty five minutes
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: ago that he thinks, yeah, we could to cal Rawley.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: First of all, was probably they kept him too long.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they did well, And it's one of those things
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: where you know, a lot of people like to trash
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: on Mitch Garver, But I still think he's a much,
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: very capable backup catcher and probably one of the best
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: backup catchers in baseball if you really think about it
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: and look across the league at the different situations. But
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: I think, and he proved it yesterday with a nice
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: home run in a big moment. I think he's gonna
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: have a little bit of a run here. As you know,
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: an everyday player, a lot of people like routine He's
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: probably will be one of those guys. So I'm excited
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: for him to get a couple opportunities here. Yeah, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: after he endured a lot of crap. Yes he did,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Yes he did. It would be so poetic for him
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: to just go on an absolute tear as an everyday
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: catcher while cal Rawly is out.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: So not that we're.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Saying we expect him to be better than calrawl in
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: the long term or anything like that, but you have
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: a good option to fill the gap.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I have a bet with the listener that if Cara
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: missed two months that the Mariners will still be within
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: three games of first place. You say no, I said, yes,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I agree. I think maybe in first place. I think
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: they will still be in first place. Yeah, but we
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: have a bet. I mean, that's it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: If he misses two months, that's right, He's on a
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: ten day I l but we all know about obleaques.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: They can take quite a bit of time.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Luke Raley should have been on the IR he was.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: It was a bleak. Never got better last year. Last year, No,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: it did not. We saw what happened to Bryce Miller too.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: That's what happened. Jesson's given me ego and think I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, all right, that's my fault,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: jess I'm sorry, Thank you both, Thank you all for
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: listening to Chris Kid and I. I will be back
• 36:57
