- 0:31Speaker 1: by volume, Saber responsibly. We will certainly get to the
- 0:34Speaker 1: Seahawks before our eight top stories come to a close
- 0:37Speaker 1: here on this Friday O show. It's the eight top
- 0:41Speaker 1: stories of the week. It raycaps this week gets you
- 0:44Speaker 1: ready for the week, and it's a service that we
- 0:46Speaker 1: provide and we are happy to do that. And we
- 0:49Speaker 1: will get started with the Seattle Mariners Game number four
- 0:53Speaker 1: of the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue
- 0:58Speaker 1: Jays last night, and it's started very similarly then to
- 1:03Speaker 1: Game number three. The Mariners had the lead. A home run,
- 1:06Speaker 1: this one by Josh Naylor, had given them that lead.
- 1:10Speaker 1: It looked like our starting pitcher was off to a
- 1:12Speaker 1: really good start. And then all of a sudden. In
- 1:15Speaker 1: the third inning, he runs into the terrifying eight nine
- 1:20Speaker 1: hitters of the Toronto Blue Jays. A double by Isaiah
- 1:24Speaker 1: Heiner Filefa just inside the third base bag started the inning.
- 1:29Speaker 1: And then the guy that is newly terrorizing us, the
- 1:34Speaker 1: Mike Trout of Canada, Andresjamenez steps to the plate and
- 1:39Speaker 1: for the second time in as many nights, he does.
- 1:42Speaker 2: This the in catch the high wines whi at the
- 1:45Speaker 2: right field ken zones going back.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It's gone again.
- 1:49Speaker 2: It's amenas out of the non spot, sparking the Jays
- 1:53Speaker 2: for the second night.
- 1:54Speaker 1: In a row.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Light beings strikes twice but from an unlikely source two
- 2:06Speaker 3: to one Toronto.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Joe Davis kind of spelling it out there for you
- 2:09Speaker 1: last night there on Fox. I mean. Andre Simonnez is
- 2:12Speaker 1: a talented player. He was a top prospect in the
- 2:15Speaker 1: Cleveland organization for a long time, known mainly for his glove,
- 2:19Speaker 1: but he had a pretty good scouting report for his bat.
- 2:24Speaker 1: He just had a really bad year at the plate
- 2:27Speaker 1: this year. He certainly didn't hit for power this season,
- 2:30Speaker 1: but for two nights in a row, his first at
- 2:32Speaker 1: bat of the night, he has launched the Toronto offensive
- 2:36Speaker 1: assault by homering off of George Kirby and then Luis
- 2:39Speaker 1: Castillo last night.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Well, both of them were the exact same situation. You
- 2:42Speaker 4: get a double ahead of him. His job is to
- 2:45Speaker 4: move the runner over. He understands his role on the
- 2:47Speaker 4: team is not to be the power guy, not to
- 2:49Speaker 4: be the run producer, but to set the table. Get
- 2:52Speaker 4: that guy to third base so George Springer can drive
- 2:54Speaker 4: the guy in or do damage. And yet our pitchers
- 2:58Speaker 4: both made the mistake of throwing right where he can
- 3:01Speaker 4: do damage and do his job.
- 3:03Speaker 1: A pullable pitch.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Down and in, he drops head on it, squeaks it
- 3:07Speaker 4: over the wall yesterday, and next thing you know, we
- 3:09Speaker 4: go from up one to a down one.
- 3:11Speaker 1: It just is, it's just poor execution.
- 3:13Speaker 4: I don't think for one second, George says, I made
- 3:16Speaker 4: a mistake on that pitch. I was trying to go
- 3:18Speaker 4: up and in, which I don't know why you're even
- 3:21Speaker 4: going in period, because then if you miss down this happens.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Just go something away to where he rolls over it
- 3:26Speaker 4: or hits a ball, and short stop doesn't move the
- 3:28Speaker 4: run over, doesn't do his job. You open yourself up
- 3:31Speaker 4: to that mistake, and yet it boils down to execution.
- 3:34Speaker 4: If he dots that up and in corner, he probably
- 3:36Speaker 4: doesn't hit it. There's a reason he hit to ten
- 3:38Speaker 4: and had seven homers. And then Luis Castillo comes back like, oh,
- 3:41Speaker 4: I can do that too. I'll just throw it right
- 3:43Speaker 4: where you're trying to get one. I'll give you exactly
- 3:46Speaker 4: what you're looking for, and next thing you know, you know,
- 3:49Speaker 4: they take the lead and never look back.
- 3:50Speaker 5: I just like that guy, do you.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Yeah, And he didn't like the little puppy dog celebration
- 3:55Speaker 1: that he did afterwards.
- 3:57Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't like that.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Well, as Bruce Springsteen once said, you can't
- 4:02Speaker 1: start a fire without a spark, and he certainly has
- 4:06Speaker 1: provided the spark, and then the fire roared for the
- 4:09Speaker 1: rest of the game. The next thing you know, you've
- 4:11Speaker 1: burned down the playroom.
- 4:12Speaker 5: He also said, born in the USA, So yeah, he.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Did say that. Eight run game, four efforts before another
- 4:20Speaker 1: sellout crowd in Seattle plus forty one year old Max
- 4:25Speaker 1: Scherzer baffled Mariners hitters for better than five innings last
- 4:29Speaker 1: night using not mad Max stuff. It's old man Max
- 4:34Speaker 1: stuff that he used last night, and Mariners hitters I
- 4:39Speaker 1: think had a decent game plan early on, but once
- 4:42Speaker 1: he got the lead, he just started toying with them.
- 4:45Speaker 1: You know, just I'm gonna bust you in early to
- 4:47Speaker 1: get ahead and account dare you to get your barrel
- 4:51Speaker 1: out on a fastball inside, and then I'm gonna throw
- 4:56Speaker 1: breaking balls in the dirt away from you that you'll
- 4:58Speaker 1: never hit and maybe you'll at them. And we just
- 5:01Speaker 1: kept swinging at them. Yeah.
- 5:02Speaker 4: I mean, it's in the little bit of time that
- 5:05Speaker 4: I spent in the big leagues, I learned the lesson
- 5:07Speaker 4: real quick that the reason that the guys are up here,
- 5:10Speaker 4: it typically is because they understand how to pitch. They
- 5:13Speaker 4: understand how to use If it's your aggressiveness against you
- 5:16Speaker 4: or if you're complacent or somewhat passive, they'll use that
- 5:20Speaker 4: against you. Yesterday was the one oh one class of pitching.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Just go get them, go after him, let them think, okay, here,
- 5:27Speaker 4: I'm going to attack them with fast balls, and then
- 5:30Speaker 4: if they miss it, great.
- 5:31Speaker 1: You have them set up.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Now for stuff that looks like something going down the
- 5:34Speaker 4: middle and breaking off the plate away. He did it
- 5:36Speaker 4: time after time after time, and with the exception of
- 5:39Speaker 4: Josh Naylor, nobody made an adjustment.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, occasionally I have one of those games
- 5:43Speaker 1: where you just stink that day, we stunk last night,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and you just don't want it to ever surface in
- 5:50Speaker 1: a playoff game. I mean, I think about the Milwaukee Brewers,
- 5:53Speaker 1: I mean, they just seem overmatch, but they haven't stunk
- 5:57Speaker 1: in a game. They just haven't pulled out a victory
- 6:00Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Dodgers. We were terrible last night
- 6:04Speaker 1: and in a lot of ways running the bases, our
- 6:06Speaker 1: approach at the plate, and then uh, you know, obviously
- 6:11Speaker 1: not executing pitching wise in run scoring the possibilities. The
- 6:16Speaker 1: Jays have outscored the Mariners twenty one to six the
- 6:20Speaker 1: last two nights, evening this best of seven series at
- 6:23Speaker 1: two games apiece and assuring a return to Canada. And
- 6:28Speaker 1: the last time we were there, it was Blue Jay
- 6:30Speaker 1: fans that couldn't figure out why they were so bad.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I mean, we before we left caught a bunch of
- 6:36Speaker 1: them just bickering on the sidelines. Don't come there right
- 6:39Speaker 1: but it I'm not your budtet friend. He's not your
- 6:42Speaker 1: friend guy. I'm not your.
- 6:44Speaker 5: Guy, but he's not your buy friend.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I'm not your foot gy. The US teacher. Very annoying. Yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 1: with their bad eyes and their flappy gums.
- 6:55Speaker 5: I blame Canada.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, I do. I blame Canada. But Bryce
- 7:00Speaker 1: Miller can help make the medicine go down today. Maybe
- 7:03Speaker 1: he is just the treatment that we're looking for. He
- 7:06Speaker 1: certainly was the answer in game number one. He's going
- 7:09Speaker 1: to get the ball in game number five and twenty
- 7:11Speaker 1: four hours ago, sitting here on this show, we thought
- 7:13Speaker 1: it was going to be Brian wu getting the start,
- 7:16Speaker 1: but Dan before the game yesterday made it clear that no,
- 7:19Speaker 1: we're going to hand the ball to Bryce Miller in
- 7:21Speaker 1: game number five to face Kevin Gosman. He was clearly
- 7:25Speaker 1: our number five starter this year Bryce in terms of
- 7:28Speaker 1: effectiveness and availability. But it's very strange how the wheels
- 7:32Speaker 1: turn in Major League Baseball, because it feels to me
- 7:35Speaker 1: like Mariner fans suddenly feel like the exact right guy
- 7:38Speaker 1: is getting the ball today to face Gosman.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Yeah, you were right the hot hand, and I don't
- 7:42Speaker 4: care if it was hot for one hand or two
- 7:44Speaker 4: hands or three hands. At his last time out there,
- 7:47Speaker 4: he's pitched the best to this lineup. He was the
- 7:50Speaker 4: one that kind of set the tone for the way
- 7:52Speaker 4: in which the series started. We've fumbled that away the
- 7:55Speaker 4: first couple of games at home. But I do trust
- 7:57Speaker 4: he's gonna go out there just kind of like the
- 7:59Speaker 4: Clint Eastwood like you call him and just cool customer,
- 8:01Speaker 4: go out there and attack and do what he's gonna do.
- 8:03Speaker 4: The nice thing is is you still have your bullpen.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Everybody's at your disposal because youve got tomorrow off.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you go kind of you have to
- 8:11Speaker 1: kind of go the same approach. It's almost like a
- 8:13Speaker 1: Game seven approach, and we might have four straight games
- 8:16Speaker 1: of this before it's all said and done, so he'll
- 8:19Speaker 1: have a quick hook too. If the matchup's not favorable.
- 8:22Speaker 1: He puts a couple of guys on base in the third, fourth,
- 8:25Speaker 1: fifth innings, then it will be a move to the
- 8:28Speaker 1: bullpen and just figuring out the right matchups and crossing
- 8:31Speaker 1: your fingers that guys are on their game. First pitch
- 8:35Speaker 1: today is at three oh eight. And yes, if you're
- 8:39Speaker 1: saying pivotal, I think that's I think that's the appropriate word.
- 8:42Speaker 1: But I will say this, you win this, and it
- 8:45Speaker 1: feels like you're completely back in control of the series. Obviously,
- 8:48Speaker 1: there's nothing intimidating about playing baseball in Toronto. We had
- 8:52Speaker 1: no problem with that in Games one and two. Home
- 8:55Speaker 1: field advantage has meant nothing in this series and in
- 8:58Speaker 1: most series in these Major League Baseball A playoffs. So
- 9:01Speaker 1: you win today, you pull out a victory today, and
- 9:04Speaker 1: suddenly you just got to win one out of two
- 9:05Speaker 1: in Toronto and that doesn't seem so intimidating at all. No,
- 9:09Speaker 1: I think the word pivotal is perfect.
- 9:11Speaker 4: I mean the series kind of pivots right here at
- 9:14Speaker 4: this point, I mean there is right now it's two two.
- 9:16Speaker 4: It feels like maybe it's advantaged them. They came in
- 9:19Speaker 4: and answered the two that we snipered from them at
- 9:23Speaker 4: their place. And yet at the same time it doesn't
- 9:26Speaker 4: really matter. Still, starting zero zero, they don't get to
- 9:28Speaker 4: carry over any runs or any better approaches from yesterday.
- 9:32Speaker 4: We just need to answer the bell. It's gut check time.
- 9:35Speaker 4: If you didn't look in the mirror last night before
- 9:36Speaker 4: you went to bad Mariners, you better have done it
- 9:38Speaker 4: this morning and recognize it's time to turn it around
- 9:42Speaker 4: and either prove that you're better than they are or
- 9:44Speaker 4: get ready to go on vacation.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Bucky and I are gonna bring our a game tonight.
- 9:48Speaker 1: We're gonna have the right approach. I will like that
- 9:50Speaker 1: to the postgame show. It's brought to you by Seattle's
- 9:53Speaker 1: closest no Qualm Casino and hotel. So after every postgame
- 9:57Speaker 1: show for as long as this sucker lasts, Bucking are
- 10:00Speaker 1: going to deliver some postgame reaction from Jimmy's on First
- 10:04Speaker 1: at least for the home games at Jimmy's on First
- 10:07Speaker 1: and parts unknown for all road games. But we're there
- 10:11Speaker 1: for you. We're there for you right here at Sports
- 10:13Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kha RFM. We're there for
- 10:16Speaker 1: you Husky fans. Tomorrow morning as well, Hanks will be
- 10:19Speaker 1: on the air at six am getting you ready for
- 10:21Speaker 1: a nine a m. Kickoff. It'll be Washington at Michigan.
- 10:26Speaker 1: That's right, the Wolverines in ann Arbor at the Big House.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is a huge game. Rick new Isil
- 10:34Speaker 1: was with us on Tuesday and talked about the matchup.
- 10:36Speaker 6: This is all going to come down to, does Wink
- 10:39Speaker 6: Martindale able to craft the same kind of plan that
- 10:42Speaker 6: Patricia did and keep Demand's legs at day And if
- 10:46Speaker 6: that be the case, then it's all going to come
- 10:48Speaker 6: down to third down conversion. Because if the Huskies can
- 10:52Speaker 6: play on third down and play efficiently on third down,
- 10:55Speaker 6: they're better than Michigan on offense.
- 10:58Speaker 1: That's a fact.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Michigan runs the ball. Sc was able to corral them
- 11:02Speaker 6: in the running game. That hadn't been the case with
- 11:05Speaker 6: the Trojans in the Lincoln Riley era, but they were
- 11:08Speaker 6: able to and SC also ran for over two hundred
- 11:12Speaker 6: yards out rushed Michigan. And if Washington can do that
- 11:16Speaker 6: with both the mont and Joan Coleman, it just sets
- 11:19Speaker 6: up really well for the Dogs. I will not be
- 11:21Speaker 6: shocked with a I know they are underdog, but I
- 11:24Speaker 6: will not be shocked with a Husky victor.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Yeah. I wouldn't be shocked either. But they got to
- 11:29Speaker 1: match their physicality. If they can do that, and that's
- 11:32Speaker 1: not an easy thing to ask because Michigan's known for
- 11:34Speaker 1: it and they get a little hyped up at home.
- 11:37Speaker 1: But if they can do that, I think they win
- 11:39Speaker 1: the football game. It opened as a nine and a
- 11:41Speaker 1: half point spread with the Dogs being the underdogs. By
- 11:45Speaker 1: the time Ashley got a hold of it, it was
- 11:47Speaker 1: a six point spread. In fact or fiction, it's all
- 11:50Speaker 1: the way back down to four and a half right now,
- 11:52Speaker 1: So you'd have just a four and a half point
- 11:54Speaker 1: underdog heading end of this game tomorrow.
- 11:56Speaker 2: More.
- 11:56Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's gonna be a good measuring stick you're
- 11:59Speaker 4: gonna find. This is definitely, I mean, the best opponent
- 12:03Speaker 4: they faced is Ohio State, and they hung with him
- 12:05Speaker 4: for a half and then it kind of kind of.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Fell in on him a little bit.
- 12:08Speaker 4: This is one where go out there, play four tough
- 12:10Speaker 4: quarters kind of match to physicality, don't let the big
- 12:13Speaker 4: house become too big, and shock the world to some degree,
- 12:17Speaker 4: and you will find yourself ranked somewhere in that top
- 12:20Speaker 4: twenty five.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Koch's coming off an impressive loss, if there is such
- 12:23Speaker 1: a thing. We'll be at eighteen Virginia tomorrow at three thirty.
- 12:28Speaker 1: The Week eight of the college football season starts tonight
- 12:31Speaker 1: with several good games. Nebraska plays Minnesota and number two
- 12:36Speaker 1: Miami tries to stay undefeated against Louisville, and then on Saturday,
- 12:40Speaker 1: all sorts of games featuring ranked opponents number ten, LSU
- 12:44Speaker 1: at seventeen, Vanderbilt number five, Ole Miss at number nine,
- 12:47Speaker 1: Georgia number eleven, Tennessee at number six, Alabama number twenty three,
- 12:52Speaker 1: Utah at number fifteen BYU in the Holy War, and
- 12:55Speaker 1: then Ashley's favorite rivalry number twenty, USC at number thirty
- 13:00Speaker 1: teen Notre Dame. Eh, don't say that about USC.
- 13:04Speaker 7: That's not It's about both of them, really, But I
- 13:08Speaker 7: will be cheering for USC this time this time.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're on her Pooh list though, Yeah, all
- 13:17Speaker 1: my monter time. Yeah, think about that.
- 13:19Speaker 5: Up there close to the top.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Alight am. Number four on our ow show Thursday Night
- 13:23Speaker 1: Football Last Night featured Aaron Rodgers versus Joe Flacco. That's
- 13:28Speaker 1: right too, one hundred year old quarterbacks doing battle on
- 13:33Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. Forties.
- 13:35Speaker 5: You grow a little pipe belly, you grow another chin.
- 13:38Speaker 6: The music starts to get too loud.
- 13:40Speaker 4: One of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother.
- 13:45Speaker 1: So true. Two forty year old plus quarterbacks meeting in
- 13:49Speaker 1: an NFL game for the first time ever. That's a
- 13:52Speaker 1: little surprising to me. And it turns out that Flacco
- 13:55Speaker 1: wins the day thirty three thirty one Cincinnati over Pittsburgh.
- 14:00Speaker 1: If our Chase had sixteen catches, one hundred and sixty
- 14:03Speaker 1: one yards and a.
- 14:04Speaker 5: Touchdown, Fantasy team.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Yah, are you glad you took him? In fantasy. I mean,
- 14:08Speaker 1: even without Joe Burrow, he still puts up monster numbers. Incredible.
- 14:12Speaker 1: The Rams will be at Jacksonville at six thirty Sunday morning.
- 14:15Speaker 1: That will be in London, of course, home of the Jaguars.
- 14:20Speaker 1: And then Philadelphia Minnesota is probably her best game of
- 14:23Speaker 1: the early games which are not that impressive. Indiana Indianapolis
- 14:28Speaker 1: against the Chargers, that is a really good game. And
- 14:30Speaker 1: then Sunday Night Atlanta and San Francisco is your Sunday
- 14:34Speaker 1: night matchup. Seahawks will not play until Monday night against
- 14:37Speaker 1: the Texans. Of course, the Seahawks trying to get their
- 14:42Speaker 1: secondary healthy. We're all wondering, well Witherspoon will love play
- 14:47Speaker 1: on Monday night. Here's Greg Bell with the outlook on
- 14:50Speaker 1: the secondary.
- 14:51Speaker 8: So all three of them practicing four days before the
- 14:53Speaker 8: game suggests that they're going to all three play and
- 14:56Speaker 8: their secondary will be whole. And that will because they
- 15:01Speaker 8: haven't had a whole secondary since the first half of
- 15:07Speaker 8: the first game, because Witherspoon got hurt in the second
- 15:10Speaker 8: half colliding with Josh Job when Joeb intercepted bruck Purty
- 15:13Speaker 8: way back on September seventh, and since then, Witherspin's only
- 15:17Speaker 8: played two of six games. The first game we get hurt,
- 15:21Speaker 8: and he came back for the Arizona game September twenty fifth,
- 15:24Speaker 8: and then hasn't played against since. So it's somewhat remarkable.
- 15:28Speaker 8: They're four and two in their defense, except for the
- 15:30Speaker 8: Tampa Bay game, has controlled games without who I think
- 15:34Speaker 8: their best player, Devin Witherspoon.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Is Yeah, Hawks four and two, Texans two and three,
- 15:40Speaker 1: But they're a lot better than their record indicates. The
- 15:42Speaker 1: offense starting to come together. The defense has been spectacular
- 15:46Speaker 1: all season, clearly ranked number one in the National Football League.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Seahawks will play one of two football games on Monday night.
- 15:53Speaker 1: They'll play the second game of a true doublehead or
- 15:55Speaker 1: no overlapping there. So they will be game number two
- 15:59Speaker 1: on Monday night, and we will be talking about it
- 16:01Speaker 1: a lot Monday, and of course reacting on Tuesday. The Kraken.
- 16:06Speaker 1: They have not come away from a game yet this
- 16:09Speaker 1: year without at least a point. They kept that streak
- 16:12Speaker 1: going last night despite a second loss in two games.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Shane Pinto can put it away for the whole team.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Right handed shot Shane Pinto from the red line carries
- 16:23Speaker 3: it over left side of the circle now cuts back
- 16:26Speaker 3: to the slot, walks in shots.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Scores, and the Ottawa Editors.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Come back after the Kraken took the lead early in
- 16:38Speaker 3: the third, they score late in the third, survive a
- 16:45Speaker 3: push from Seattle in overtime, and get the win in
- 16:49Speaker 3: the shootout by a four to three score.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Patrifinal effort fits you on the call right here on
- 16:53Speaker 1: the flagship Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM, Chandler
- 16:57Speaker 1: Stevenson scored twice. The kl earned a point in each
- 17:01Speaker 1: of their four games to start the year, but they've
- 17:02Speaker 1: lost both games on the season's first road trip. They
- 17:05Speaker 1: will also be taking on Toronto this weekend in Toronto
- 17:09Speaker 1: tomorrow at four o'clock. And finally the Sounders and they'll
- 17:13Speaker 1: play on the road. That first round is a best
- 17:15Speaker 1: of three format and so they don't as far as
- 17:19Speaker 1: I can tell, don't have much to play for on Saturday,
- 17:23Speaker 1: but there are a lot of things on the line
- 17:25Speaker 1: with the MLS playoff picture tomorrow on decision Day. All right,
- 17:30Speaker 1: coming up next on our radio program, are the Mariners cooked? Well?
- 17:35Speaker 1: If they are, they usually are best when they're cooked.
- 17:38Speaker 1: They're like a pop tart. Sports Radio ninety three point
- 17:41Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Ever felt like an indie race car right there. Yeah,
- 17:45Speaker 1: he just totally indy pitcrewed me during the break, shoved
- 17:49Speaker 1: wires up our shirts. Yeah, wires up my shirts. He
- 17:52Speaker 1: spun my tires yeah you know yeah, I think he
- 17:54Speaker 1: even took the back one off. Yeah. I did put
- 17:56Speaker 1: some gas in here. Yeah, gasped.
- 17:59Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a bad.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Photo of your calf bumps. Yeah, he was like, I've
- 18:04Speaker 1: already done that. Yeah, saw him coming. Yeah. Those those
- 18:08Speaker 1: TV people, they are efficient.
- 18:09Speaker 4: That was pretty impressive. We went from on the air
- 18:12Speaker 4: to thirty seconds later on the TV air.
- 18:15Speaker 1: I guess yeah, I don't even know.
- 18:17Speaker 5: Now back on the radio, you guys are multitaskers.
- 18:20Speaker 1: I'm tired, and I don't even know.
- 18:22Speaker 5: You might be doing another TV thing with the Canadian people.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I think the Canadians are coming in there.
- 18:26Speaker 7: They're downstairs outside right now. They're so polite. They asked
- 18:29Speaker 7: permission to film outside. I said, uh, can we just
- 18:33Speaker 7: be out oh here? I was like, yeah, you can
- 18:35Speaker 7: be out there.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I only accepted this invitation this. Uh you know, drop
- 18:40Speaker 1: by if you will so I could give him a
- 18:43Speaker 1: piece of my mind. Okay, good, yeah, yeah.
- 18:44Speaker 5: So I don't know if they're coming up or not.
- 18:46Speaker 5: I sent a text I haven't hear.
- 18:47Speaker 1: It's gonna get ugly. It's Chuck, it's buckets, Ashley. We're
- 18:51Speaker 1: getting ready for game number five and every way possible,
- 18:54Speaker 1: because it does feel damn important. Three o'clock is your
- 18:59Speaker 1: first pitch. And I compared this team to a pop
- 19:02Speaker 1: tart that you know, usually they are best when you've
- 19:06Speaker 1: cooked them, maybe even overcooked them a little bit. And
- 19:09Speaker 1: I think a lot of Mariner fans, I think, for
- 19:11Speaker 1: the third time this postseason, have come to the conclusion
- 19:15Speaker 1: that it's just not in the cards. You know, it's
- 19:17Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. That's usually when they play their best.
- 19:21Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I think they're more like
- 19:23Speaker 1: a can of baked beans. Like you ever tried to
- 19:25Speaker 1: eat a can of cold baked beans, not shod right,
- 19:30Speaker 1: but man put them over a flame and suddenly, you know,
- 19:34Speaker 1: around a campfire and it tastes like the most delicious
- 19:36Speaker 1: thing you've ever had. Amen. So I mean, you can
- 19:40Speaker 1: say that they're cooked, but this might be exactly where
- 19:43Speaker 1: they want the Blue Jays, because we're talking about a
- 19:46Speaker 1: team that got at the trading deadline. They decided to
- 19:50Speaker 1: go for it very aggressively and went ten and one
- 19:53Speaker 1: coming out of that, and we were all sure, like,
- 19:55Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is the best team in baseball.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Those are the perfect editions, filled holes, great clubhouse guys.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're gonna just steamroll to the playoffs.
- 20:06Speaker 1: And then they went six and fifteen. Just when we
- 20:08Speaker 1: thought they were really good and had solved baseball. Uh huh.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Then they go six and fifteen, and just when you thought,
- 20:14Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this team we can't even blame Jerry
- 20:18Speaker 1: on this one. This team was really well put together
- 20:22Speaker 1: and they still can't win. My goodness, what happened to
- 20:26Speaker 1: our team that was ten and one in eleven games?
- 20:30Speaker 1: What did they do then, just when you stopped watching,
- 20:33Speaker 1: just when you were sure that they were crumbling again
- 20:36Speaker 1: typical Mariner baseball. What did they do? They beat the
- 20:40Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves and back to back games twenty eight to four.
- 20:43Speaker 1: That started a ten game winning streak. They won seventeen
- 20:47Speaker 1: out of eighteen games. For goodness sake, they not only
- 20:50Speaker 1: made the playoffs, they won the division. With room to spare,
- 20:54Speaker 1: they earned to buy. And then suddenly we're sure that
- 20:57Speaker 1: they're rolling, and what did they do to us? They
- 20:59Speaker 1: lost Game one of the American League Divisional Series against
- 21:01Speaker 1: the Relief Group, and then people were sure that they
- 21:05Speaker 1: were done. And then they won back to back games,
- 21:07Speaker 1: and then they were leading three to nothing in the
- 21:09Speaker 1: third game, Game number four, and Tiger fans were leaving
- 21:13Speaker 1: the park by the thousands because they were sure they
- 21:16Speaker 1: were overmatched. And just when you start believing, they blew
- 21:20Speaker 1: it all.
- 21:21Speaker 5: My heart can't handle just the story.
- 21:23Speaker 1: And then that forces a game five, and then of
- 21:26Speaker 1: course we're sure we can't beat Trek's Google again. We
- 21:30Speaker 1: can't go six extra innings and strand that many base
- 21:33Speaker 1: runners and still pull this thing out? Can we? And
- 21:36Speaker 1: they do it, and then the entire national media, well,
- 21:39Speaker 1: they're gonna be way too tired to play the Blue
- 21:41Speaker 1: Jays in game number one. That's a loss right there,
- 21:45Speaker 1: and instead a win and another win. Coming home two
- 21:49Speaker 1: to nothing, Harold Reynolds tells us, I don't see a
- 21:51Speaker 1: path where the Blue Jays can get back into this series.
- 21:54Speaker 1: And sure enough, they've lost two straight games at home
- 21:58Speaker 1: against one of the fevered crowds in baseball history, and
- 22:02Speaker 1: here we go again. Everybody's convinced that the goose is cooked,
- 22:05Speaker 1: that the baked beans, the bake beans got ruined, spent
- 22:10Speaker 1: too much time over the campfire. And guess what this is.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Usually when they play their we'll probably lose today one
- 22:18Speaker 1: hundred to five, and then go to Toronto with nobody
- 22:23Speaker 1: giving them a chance, and they'll squeak out Game six
- 22:26Speaker 1: and win Game seven and the forty fourth inning, and
- 22:29Speaker 1: then we'll go to the World Series. This is just
- 22:32Speaker 1: the way this team plays, and I don't necessarily like it,
- 22:35Speaker 1: but it's never dull. I'll tell you that.
- 22:37Speaker 4: Well, it's pretty enjoyable when as long as you come
- 22:39Speaker 4: out on the good side of things. I mean, it's
- 22:42Speaker 4: the idea of if they would have won that game
- 22:44Speaker 4: four and we never would have got to witness that
- 22:49Speaker 4: game five. I mean, I guess to some degree a
- 22:52Speaker 4: lot of people be like, yeah, my health would benefit
- 22:54Speaker 4: from not having fifteen innings of stranded runners and whatnot.
- 22:59Speaker 4: And yet to me, that's what I want. I mean,
- 23:01Speaker 4: I don't want it to I don't want to lose
- 23:03Speaker 4: one hundred to five today and then beat them at
- 23:08Speaker 4: their place back to back to pull it out of
- 23:10Speaker 4: the fire. I don't want that to happen, but it
- 23:13Speaker 4: would be pretty enjoyable if it did go down that way.
- 23:15Speaker 4: I'll just say it boils down to execution. I mean,
- 23:19Speaker 4: people can sit in their chairs and question this and
- 23:23Speaker 4: question that, and think this, and think that. It boils
- 23:26Speaker 4: down to man for man, Are we tougher than they are?
- 23:29Speaker 1: Man for man? Are we more dialed in than they are?
- 23:32Speaker 4: Well, the last couple of nights would say no, The
- 23:34Speaker 4: previous couple games would say yes, you were. So now
- 23:38Speaker 4: you get down to three games. Who's going to show
- 23:40Speaker 4: up and make the twenty seven outs they have to
- 23:42Speaker 4: earn against us tougher, Who's going to show up on
- 23:45Speaker 4: the other side of the ball and make it really
- 23:48Speaker 4: difficult for them to scrape together offense? And it boils
- 23:52Speaker 4: down to individual performances. How much are you going to
- 23:54Speaker 4: be in on it? And I don't expect you to
- 23:57Speaker 4: be perfect, but the approach to taking strive for perfection
- 24:01Speaker 4: and then you hopefully land somewhere that's acceptable. Yesterday did
- 24:05Speaker 4: not look like a team that was striving for perfection.
- 24:08Speaker 4: And it's not that I'm gonna say that. They just
- 24:09Speaker 4: were like, Oh, we don't care, it's no big deal.
- 24:13Speaker 4: We won too At their place, so we should give
- 24:15Speaker 4: them back just to be polite. No, you just didn't
- 24:18Speaker 4: execute you. I think that they knew what a veteran
- 24:23Speaker 4: pitcher may or may not go out there and try
- 24:25Speaker 4: to do. And he did it, and they took some
- 24:27Speaker 4: hacks at some good pitches that he was just like,
- 24:30Speaker 4: I'm gonna get ahead. Here comes my fast Well, I'm
- 24:32Speaker 4: gonna get ahead.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Now.
- 24:33Speaker 4: You think I'm the old Max Scherzer and nope, I'm
- 24:35Speaker 4: going to turn into the nibbler. I'm going to turn
- 24:37Speaker 4: into the guy that's gonna get you to chase and
- 24:39Speaker 4: you fell into the trap.
- 24:40Speaker 1: That's a thing between the years.
- 24:42Speaker 4: And if it's pressing, like Bill Wixie was asking us
- 24:44Speaker 4: on Fox, it could be pressing. We've seen this team
- 24:47Speaker 4: press before. Well stop pressing. What do you have to
- 24:50Speaker 4: press for? It's not that. Yeah, the city of Seattle
- 24:53Speaker 4: wants this, and you want this and all of this stuff.
- 24:56Speaker 4: It just go out and prove that you're better than
- 24:59Speaker 4: they are. And if you can't, if you can't approach
- 25:01Speaker 4: the game the right way for twenty seven outs on
- 25:04Speaker 4: both sides, then you're going to prove that you're not
- 25:06Speaker 4: better than they are. And to me, I look at
- 25:09Speaker 4: it as too too. I don't look at as advantage them.
- 25:12Speaker 4: I don't look at it as well. They beat us
- 25:14Speaker 4: by more the run differential, I don't think that matters.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Pretty sure.
- 25:17Speaker 4: It starts zero zero, and let's see if our lineup.
- 25:21Speaker 4: I think our lineup can compare to theirs. I think
- 25:23Speaker 4: their lineup has an advantage of putting more balls in play.
- 25:26Speaker 4: But there's nothing saying that we have to go out
- 25:28Speaker 4: there and strike out ten times. There's nothing saying you
- 25:31Speaker 4: can't put balls in player, that you can't shorten your
- 25:34Speaker 4: swing and say, let's put pressure on their defense a
- 25:36Speaker 4: little bit the way that they're doing us. If you
- 25:38Speaker 4: do it, and Bryce Miller answers the bell, I think
- 25:41Speaker 4: you're gonna be sitting okay, And you're right.
- 25:43Speaker 1: You go to Toronto only having to win one game.
- 25:45Speaker 1: I like that chance.
- 25:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like that plan. That plan sounds like
- 25:48Speaker 5: a good one to me.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Yeah. That Byron from Fox thirteen was a pressure player.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Tell you that, right? Yeah, oh right now, didn't even heartbeat,
- 25:56Speaker 1: didn't even raise up. Yeah. He's like, well, we got
- 25:57Speaker 1: about ten seconds, so how long does this segment go?
- 26:00Speaker 1: This ocho thing he's in there looking at me like
- 26:03Speaker 1: I need to I need to sen you up, buddy, yep.
- 26:06Speaker 1: And he waited till the end of the break and
- 26:08Speaker 1: then got me all Indie pit crewed in like fifteen seconds.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Ball play a violated, violated very much. So I liked it,
- 26:17Speaker 1: did you? Yeah, ma'am.
- 26:19Speaker 4: He's asked for my phone number while we're on the air.
- 26:22Speaker 4: Nice Mike, what are you doing? He's pointing my phone,
- 26:24Speaker 4: pointing his phone. Put your phone number in here so
- 26:27Speaker 4: I can call your phone.
- 26:28Speaker 5: We'll send pictures.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Yeah, geezh. Well, look, Kevin Gosman's their best guy, and
- 26:34Speaker 1: he was pretty good against US, yep, really good against
- 26:37Speaker 1: us in game number one. Bryce Miller's our five guy,
- 26:41Speaker 1: and yet he was even better than Gosman in game
- 26:43Speaker 1: number one. So let's see where it goes. But just
- 26:48Speaker 1: gonna stick to it. I still feel good about our
- 26:51Speaker 1: chances over the course of a seven game series, and
- 26:54Speaker 1: we're even right now. It's the best of three from
- 26:56Speaker 1: this point forward. And sure we got to play the
- 26:58Speaker 1: last two in Toronto, but you win today and suddenly
- 27:02Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like all that daunting a task. So
- 27:05Speaker 1: this might be it. This might be the pivotal game.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Game number five today at three o'clock, and I'm all
- 27:10Speaker 1: about it. Ryan Heally will join us at nine o'clock.
- 27:13Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on everything coming up next to
- 27:15Speaker 1: a little college football. We preview not just you Michigan,
- 27:18Speaker 1: but the entire Big Ten schedule this weekend on Sports
- 27:21Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Ryan Heally still to
- 27:29Speaker 1: join us today. I don't have any surprises for him today.
- 27:32Speaker 1: At this point, I hope he's not expecting him.
- 27:35Speaker 5: It's just become a daily occurrence.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, I don't want to be the person that
- 27:38Speaker 1: brings in muffins every Friday and then the staff gets
- 27:41Speaker 1: angry the Friday. I don't you know what I mean? Yeah? Thanks,
- 27:46Speaker 1: you introduced him to the old judge, brought his best
- 27:49Speaker 1: friend on the show with us yesterday via surprise.
- 27:52Speaker 4: I tried setting something up for someone to sneak in
- 27:55Speaker 4: mid segment and depants him.
- 27:57Speaker 8: Is that right?
- 27:58Speaker 1: YEA may or may not have a surprise waiting. And
- 28:02Speaker 1: now I suddenly don't want to do the zoom call
- 28:04Speaker 1: all right? Ryan at nine and the AB season nine
- 28:07Speaker 1: to thirty. But we always previewed the Big Ten college
- 28:09Speaker 1: football weekend. Of course, the game we're most interested in
- 28:13Speaker 1: is Washington at Michigan nine am kickoff. That's the big
- 28:17Speaker 1: game on Fox, Big noon game on Fox. Hawks will
- 28:21Speaker 1: start at six a m. But there is a pretty
- 28:24Speaker 1: interesting matchup tonight Nebraska and Minnesota, long hated rivals. Yeah,
- 28:28Speaker 1: of the planes, they will quite a night at five o'clock.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Nebraska actually enters this week ranked for the first time
- 28:35Speaker 1: this season, even though they're head coaches, being involved in
- 28:38Speaker 1: the heaviest of Penn State head coaching rumors right now,
- 28:42Speaker 1: I guess I'll try to stay focused on the job
- 28:45Speaker 1: he has and try to beat Minnesota tonight at five o'clock.
- 28:48Speaker 1: The noon hour time kickoff. On Saturday, you've got Purdue
- 28:53Speaker 1: at Northwestern, then at twelve thirty Ohio State at Wisconsin.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Number three Indiana, which did extend Kurt Signetti to a
- 29:03Speaker 1: very lucrative long term contract to try to keep the
- 29:06Speaker 1: Penn States of the world away from their head coach
- 29:09Speaker 1: now that they finally have good football for the first
- 29:11Speaker 1: time ever. So Indiana will be hosting Michigan State. Hopefully
- 29:15Speaker 1: that contract won't go to Kurt Signetti's head. He's just
- 29:18Speaker 1: so humble, Yeah, he's very humble. Yeah, really little low key.
- 29:24Speaker 1: I feel like he is a guy that might not
- 29:27Speaker 1: ever leave though if he's acting like it. I mean,
- 29:30Speaker 1: you signed an eight year extension and when you're the
- 29:33Speaker 1: hottest name out there and you could go to number
- 29:35Speaker 1: one number of programs that are available, and for him
- 29:38Speaker 1: to say, I don't need to see those, I'm here,
- 29:40Speaker 1: I'm here, this is where I want to be. Yeah.
- 29:42Speaker 4: I love Castle, I love that same here and I
- 29:45Speaker 4: hope that they go back to being just a basketball school.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Oregon is at Rutgers. I think Oregon's going to take
- 29:52Speaker 1: out a lot of frustration over that loss on the
- 29:55Speaker 1: poor Scarlet Knights. This weekend, that's a three thirty start
- 29:59Speaker 1: Penn State. James Franklin will be in Iowa to take
- 30:02Speaker 1: on the Hawkeyes at four. The Jerry new Heiseel Show
- 30:05Speaker 1: continues against Maryland at four o'clock. They'll play that game
- 30:09Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. New Heisel Fournia. They've now named it
- 30:13Speaker 1: after him. Yeah, it doesn't really roll off the tongue
- 30:17Speaker 1: they felt they owed it to Jerry and then USC
- 30:20Speaker 1: at Notre Dame in the matchup that Ashley doesn't even
- 30:24Speaker 1: really want to embrace anymore.
- 30:26Speaker 5: I really don't yeah. I mean, I'm glad they're still
- 30:28Speaker 5: doing it. I just I don't really like them either.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Pet Do you Petro? Have you heard Petros's analysis on this,
- 30:35Speaker 1: this whole thing about maybe it won't continue, he said
- 30:38Speaker 1: earlier this week, And you know, could be just big talk,
- 30:41Speaker 1: but I think Petros kind of means what he says, Yeah, says,
- 30:45Speaker 1: if they in this game, he's just done. He's just done.
- 30:47Speaker 1: He doesn't even want to be a part of college
- 30:49Speaker 1: football anymore.
- 30:50Speaker 7: Well, in this tradition, I agree it should not that
- 30:53Speaker 7: rivalry should not end. As I said, it is one
- 30:55Speaker 7: of two games where I have no problem, Jerry for USC.
- 31:00Speaker 1: One of two games remaining, right.
- 31:02Speaker 7: Yes, well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:05Speaker 1: All right. So four thirty start there on NBC, and
- 31:09Speaker 1: part of our Big ten Pickups preview or Big ten
- 31:12Speaker 1: Preview is our pickups for our fantasy league. Ashley right
- 31:14Speaker 1: now is leading away with five hundred and thirty points.
- 31:18Speaker 1: It's tight at the top kids got five oh five,
- 31:20Speaker 1: He's and second Bucky's at five hundred. I have won
- 31:23Speaker 1: the last two weeks. It seems like my team's kind
- 31:26Speaker 1: of turned it around. Gave a great pep speech three weeks.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Good job did you really Yeah, yeah, job, yeah, like
- 31:32Speaker 1: the Jerry new Isle of our Fantasy Pro league really
- 31:36Speaker 1: turned things around since the play calling duties like that
- 31:39Speaker 1: got changed from me to me. Yeah, but I'm still
- 31:42Speaker 1: way back. I'm still almost one hundred points back of
- 31:45Speaker 1: first place, for goodness sake, and nearly seventy points back
- 31:48Speaker 1: a third place. So I got a lot of work
- 31:49Speaker 1: to do. The only team on buy this week is Illinoy.
- 31:53Speaker 1: That only affects Ashley, who has the last pick. The
- 31:56Speaker 1: kid is so arrogant he skips every Week's sure he's
- 32:00Speaker 1: got the championship team, so he's staying with what he's got. Bucky,
- 32:05Speaker 1: you've got the next selection. Are you going to make
- 32:07Speaker 1: a move? I am?
- 32:09Speaker 4: I am, and I don't really like to do it
- 32:14Speaker 4: because I'm going to take somebody that's playing against my ducks.
- 32:17Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Antoine Raymond. I'm gonna pick him up.
- 32:19Speaker 4: I'm gonna drop k Tron Allen.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, Well you've given up on Penn State too.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Everybody has I go by next week looking two steps
- 32:33Speaker 1: ahead there. That's not a bad formula, all right, Taking
- 32:36Speaker 1: the Rutgers running back and letting go of k Tron
- 32:39Speaker 1: Allen of Penn State. I'm gonna skip this week. My
- 32:43Speaker 1: team's finally rolling. I'm gonna stick with him for at
- 32:45Speaker 1: least another week. So Ashley, I would imagine you're getting
- 32:48Speaker 1: rid of your quarterback.
- 32:49Speaker 7: I am getting rid of Luke Altmeyer, and I don't
- 32:53Speaker 7: really like doing this, but I'm going with Nico. I mean,
- 32:58Speaker 7: the guy's had nine touchdowns all season, and five of
- 33:01Speaker 7: them have been.
- 33:02Speaker 5: In the last two weeks.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Okay, So.
- 33:06Speaker 5: I believe in Jerry Neuheisel.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Wow, oh yeah, you're going to UCL For whatever reason,
- 33:18Speaker 1: I was just automatically thinking you were going to the
