- 0:19Speaker 3: Happy Friday to you all as you navigate our winter
- 0:22Speaker 3: wonderland out there here in Seattle in spring. It's Chuck Powell,
- 0:27Speaker 3: It's former Marina, Bucky Jacobs and Ashley Ryan with you

- 0:37Speaker 3: your Oat show every Friday, your eight top stories of
- 0:39Speaker 3: the day, recapping the week, getting you ready for the weekend.
- 0:41Speaker 3: We provide that service to you right here on the
- 0:44Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck Radio program. And this week it was
- 0:47Speaker 3: all about the frenzy. The National Football League free agency
- 0:51Speaker 3: period started with two glorious days of tampering on Monday
- 0:56Speaker 3: and Tuesday, where nearly three million players were signed before
- 1:01Speaker 3: the official year began in the National Football League. Then
- 1:05Speaker 3: the official kickoff to the new calendar year of the
- 1:09Speaker 3: league started happened on the Wednesday, and then on Thursday.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Finally, John Schneider.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Really lazy at his job got around to signing a
- 1:19Speaker 3: free agent that wasn't a Seahawk one year ago or
- 1:23Speaker 3: a couple of months ago. He signed em Manual Wilson.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Former Green Bay Packer twenty six years old out of
- 1:31Speaker 3: Fort Valley, filled in admirably for an injured Josh Jacobs
- 1:35Speaker 3: last season in Green Bay. Averaged four yards per carry
- 1:39Speaker 3: during a four hundred and ninety six yard rushing season,
- 1:42Speaker 3: and became a free agent after just three years in
- 1:44Speaker 3: the National Football League, signing a meager by comparison, one year,
- 1:49Speaker 3: two point one million dollars deal yesterday with the Seahawks.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell was on with US
- 1:56Speaker 3: one hour ago and Bucky asked him if Wilson books
- 2:00Speaker 3: on paper like he'll be the starter at running back
- 2:03Speaker 3: next season.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Well, he could be the starter because Kenny McIntosh might
- 2:06Speaker 4: not be ready either, coming off of his torn aco
- 2:09Speaker 4: from last July. They think he may be back for
- 2:12Speaker 4: some of training camp, but they're not sure of that.
- 2:15Speaker 4: So with McIntosh and with Sharbone out, Wilson could potentially
- 2:21Speaker 4: compete for that. He's only played a nineteen percent of
- 2:24Speaker 4: the team snaps in greene Bay, and his first three
- 2:27Speaker 4: seasons combined and the last two it's like nine percent
- 2:31Speaker 4: and thirteen percent of the offensive snap. So he got
- 2:34Speaker 4: his five hundred yards and very limited amount of times
- 2:37Speaker 4: to carry the ball and be on the field. They
- 2:39Speaker 4: really like George alone. We talked about him and what
- 2:42Speaker 4: he did after Zach Charboney got hurt in the Division
- 2:44Speaker 4: round game, and George Lawanne might have the insight if
- 2:47Speaker 4: you're going to say, is there a starter? The guy
- 2:49Speaker 4: will be on the field first nap of week one.
- 2:51Speaker 4: It could be George Lawnie right now, but right now
- 2:54Speaker 4: shaping up as a committee. And as much as they
- 2:56Speaker 4: run the ball, and they're going to run up fifty
- 2:58Speaker 4: percent of the time again next year they could use
- 3:00Speaker 4: a Pope Prie of running backs and right now that's
- 3:02Speaker 4: the stable they're lining up with.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Craig Bell our Seahawks insider. Yeah, they end up with
- 3:06Speaker 3: a stable. There'll be a competition, competition for carries, so
- 3:10Speaker 3: will be certainly something to watch a training camp. No
- 3:13Speaker 3: matter how this thing sorts itself out, I would say
- 3:17Speaker 3: that I'd favor Emmanuel Wilson right now over George Hallane
- 3:21Speaker 3: as our starting running back. But we have the entire offseason.
- 3:24Speaker 3: We got a trade possibility. We got draft coming up.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Who knows who else is going to fill out that
- 3:29Speaker 3: running back room and maybe Bucky. I'm just drinking the
- 3:32Speaker 3: John Schneider kool aid. I got a John Schneider kool
- 3:34Speaker 3: aid mustache right now. But I really like this in
- 3:39Speaker 3: terms of like sneaky. I didn't see it coming. I
- 3:42Speaker 3: didn't go far enough down the list of free agents
- 3:46Speaker 3: kind of signings. I kind of like what I saw
- 3:49Speaker 3: out of Emmanuel Wilson when he was filling in for
- 3:51Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs last year. He was pretty productive, pretty damn productive.
- 3:56Speaker 3: And I think with more carries a longer look, Yeah, yeah,
- 4:00Speaker 3: I think John might have done it again.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I think he might have found a little diamond in
- 4:03Speaker 2: the rough here.
- 4:04Speaker 1: No.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like what five ten two twenty six, so
- 4:07Speaker 5: he's a big dude. He's kind of known for, you know,
- 4:10Speaker 5: the ability and willingness to lower the shoulder and go
- 4:13Speaker 5: get the tough yards he's got. He's not super fast,
- 4:15Speaker 5: top end speed wise, but I guess he's got a burst.
- 4:18Speaker 5: And last year I said earlier that I kind of
- 4:22Speaker 5: run through when I was looking through the free agents,
- 4:25Speaker 5: was I ever interested in picking this guy up? Because
- 4:27Speaker 5: you're not talking about your first round picks and fantasy
- 4:30Speaker 5: football that are on the free agent market at this
- 4:32Speaker 5: point in time, Canine's gone. He maybe was the only
- 4:35Speaker 5: one that was in that category. Now you're talking about
- 4:37Speaker 5: guys that you maybe have picked up if you lost
- 4:39Speaker 5: somebody in your fantasy And this was a guy that
- 4:41Speaker 5: I remember looking at and picking up in one of
- 4:43Speaker 5: my leagues, and he's he's pretty decent when he gets
- 4:46Speaker 5: the touches.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I mean, he was productive. He was filling in for ja.
- 4:50Speaker 5: Yeah, four yards of carry last year overall in his
- 4:52Speaker 5: two hundred and forty two touches or carries his head.
- 4:55Speaker 5: So forward's four and a half yard back. And it's
- 4:58Speaker 5: not because he gets those big home runs that kind
- 5:02Speaker 5: of boost that thing. It's more of a workman. You
- 5:04Speaker 5: go out there and move the chains. And so I
- 5:07Speaker 5: think you've added to that whole. You know, as as
- 5:09Speaker 5: Greg puts it, the potpourri of running backs at this
- 5:11Speaker 5: point in time, if you weren't going to have a
- 5:13Speaker 5: popa Arie, you're gonna have to add somebody like Emmanuel Wilson.
- 5:16Speaker 5: And I think right now he's in the forefront of
- 5:19Speaker 5: a being a guy that you feel like, if the
- 5:21Speaker 5: season was starting tomorrow, you have somebody to hand the
- 5:23Speaker 5: ball off to, versus somebody that you know for sure
- 5:26Speaker 5: is probably an RB three.
- 5:27Speaker 6: I was trying to go through my fantasy football stats
- 5:30Speaker 6: to see where I had him and how he did
- 5:31Speaker 6: for me.
- 5:32Speaker 7: But it's thinking too long. Oh.
- 5:35Speaker 3: All I can think about is the heavenly aroma of
- 5:38Speaker 3: having a running.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Back group of potpourri. Yeah, yeah, you just.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Light it at the beginning of the day and just
- 5:44Speaker 3: let the aroma take over practice.
- 5:45Speaker 7: Oh, it's going to be heavenly.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Nevertheless, not all feel comfortable about an unproven veteran running
- 5:50Speaker 3: back replacing Ken Walker. The Hawks still have time to
- 5:53Speaker 3: add to their running back room at this point.
- 5:55Speaker 2: And they certainly will. But I like this. I like this.
- 5:59Speaker 3: We'll find out I Hugh Millon likes it. He's going
- 6:01Speaker 3: to join us today at nine o'clock. Immediate analysis from
- 6:04Speaker 3: a guy that I don't have any doubt. Went back
- 6:06Speaker 3: last night as a fun project and watched every single snap.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Emmanuel Wilson has played in the National Football League, so
- 6:14Speaker 3: we'll get his take on it at nine o'clock.
- 6:17Speaker 2: But for the most part, the.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Seahawks just spent the week of NFL free agency frenzy,
- 6:22Speaker 3: re signing their own most notable Rashid Shaheed, and we.
- 6:26Speaker 8: Are underway in Seattle. Rashid Shaheed drifted to his right.
- 6:30Speaker 8: He'll feel the kickoff of the four. Shaheed to the fifteen,
- 6:33Speaker 8: across the twenty. Gears left to the twenty. Kind of
- 6:34Speaker 8: held to thirty. Step to the forty, step to acrossmitfield.
- 6:38Speaker 8: Tell him the right sideline of the thirty. Say he's
- 6:41Speaker 8: the twenty. He's all the way home. A Seattle touchdown
- 6:45Speaker 8: on the opening kickoff six nothing.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Seahawks a three year, fifty one million dollar deal for
- 6:52Speaker 3: Rashid shah Heed, one of his many highlights, that one
- 6:55Speaker 3: described by west Wood One. But the Seahawks also spent
- 6:58Speaker 3: the week resigning Josh oh but cornerback Josh Jones at
- 7:02Speaker 3: tackle and backup offensive line of sixth man to the
- 7:05Speaker 3: offensive line, Jake Bobo, long snapper, Chris Stole, fullback Brady Russell.
- 7:11Speaker 2: You know, John said he wanted to run it.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Back with as many of the players off of this
- 7:16Speaker 3: World Championship roster as he could. He lost four starters
- 7:22Speaker 3: slash key contributors, but man he brought back two valuable
- 7:26Speaker 3: components and certainly all those little nitty gritty parts, especially
- 7:32Speaker 3: in the set special teams game.
- 7:34Speaker 2: He got him. He got them all.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Back this year to try to keep some things going
- 7:40Speaker 3: as smoothly as they've been.
- 7:41Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you're not gonna be able to keep everybody.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Everybody knew that kind of coming into this whole thing.
- 7:46Speaker 5: But after kind of watching a few guys exit and
- 7:51Speaker 5: move on to o their teams, he's kind of rebounded
- 7:54Speaker 5: with getting the Rashid and Josh job.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And you know Josh Jones.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Yesterday or day before whenever, that was now signing your
- 8:00Speaker 5: first free agent in Emmanuel Lewis, And yeah, it's just
- 8:04Speaker 5: that's the nature of it.
- 8:05Speaker 1: You do it.
- 8:05Speaker 2: He did it, he said, Emmanuel Lewis did I Yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 2: that kid was real cute.
- 8:12Speaker 7: I'll give him that.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Not much of a running back size though, No, he.
- 8:15Speaker 7: Would hang out in the dumbwaiter.
- 8:17Speaker 5: He definitely didn't have the truck stick in his bag
- 8:20Speaker 5: of tricks.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I guarantee you that you have a dumbwaiter play well.
- 8:24Speaker 3: You don't see a lot of running backs at the
- 8:26Speaker 3: combine that are three foot six, fourteen pounds.
- 8:29Speaker 7: You don't.
- 8:30Speaker 6: It's we got him he can just go through between
- 8:33Speaker 6: everyone's legs.
- 8:34Speaker 7: Go Webster, Oh Webster, you got this buddy.
- 8:37Speaker 3: The defending world champs will continue to sip through the
- 8:39Speaker 3: remaining pile of NFL free agents for treasure, no doubt
- 8:43Speaker 3: about that.
- 8:44Speaker 2: But the frenzy.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Comes to an end today and the draft will be
- 8:49Speaker 3: the NFL's next big events, while extensions for stars Jackson
- 8:55Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba and Devin Witherspoon also seemed to be
- 8:58Speaker 3: on the Seahawks to do list this off season.
- 9:01Speaker 2: But yeah, get ready, draft missus next. So ready.
- 9:06Speaker 7: It's warming my it's warming the cockles of my heart.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 9:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
- 9:10Speaker 3: And the snow outside is just God's way of saying,
- 9:13Speaker 3: let's get ready for draftings.
- 9:15Speaker 8: Bring it on.
- 9:16Speaker 2: What he's doing getting this season's dreaming of a why draft?
- 9:25Speaker 2: Just like the ones we've never known? What put yourself together? God? Uh,
- 9:33Speaker 2: I can't do God's singing voice, Justice, I.
- 9:35Speaker 7: Apologize, Bucky needs Bucky's the voice of God.
- 9:38Speaker 2: We know that.
- 9:39Speaker 3: And other news from the National Football League. Kyler Murray
- 9:42Speaker 3: yesterday agreed to a deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Call off the such party. Sorry, Bukaroo, little sweets.
- 9:52Speaker 7: Just passing through. Yes we take it off. Yes we
- 9:56Speaker 7: are diving into the pillow. Little Sweetest s.
- 10:01Speaker 2: It's the sweet one there. Sweet wants a goo to
- 10:04Speaker 2: a anywhere. A really small prince was also a wooden legend.
- 10:08Speaker 6: Little Sweet now viking, Little Sweet and a Viking horn.
- 10:13Speaker 2: They call him back, smaller than prince, Little.
- 10:16Speaker 7: Sweets taking JJ's job.
- 10:18Speaker 4: School.
- 10:20Speaker 2: School doesn't have the same ring too to do a
- 10:25Speaker 2: high pitch.
- 10:25Speaker 7: School school really doesn't.
- 10:28Speaker 2: School. Oh, little Sweet, you the smallest Viking ever.
- 10:35Speaker 3: Little Sweet loves Minnesota, Little Sweet raven and pillaging.
- 10:43Speaker 7: Oh oh my god, you just made me.
- 10:47Speaker 3: So Kyler Murray versus JJ McCarthy or ahead of JJ McCarthy,
- 10:53Speaker 3: I mean.
- 10:54Speaker 7: Sweets in a person competition.
- 10:58Speaker 2: This is a complete failure.
- 11:00Speaker 3: If the Minnesota Vikings have decided without giving JJ McCarthy
- 11:03Speaker 3: more than a few games, look, they have chased off
- 11:06Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, They have chased off Sam Arnold to create
- 11:09Speaker 3: this path for JJ McCarthy.
- 11:11Speaker 2: To take over his starting quarterback.
- 11:13Speaker 3: And if they are going to basically say okay in
- 11:16Speaker 3: a short period of time last year where he was
- 11:19Speaker 3: mostly injured and trying to play catch up, JJ McCarthy
- 11:22Speaker 3: stinks were moving on from him. They have failed miserably
- 11:26Speaker 3: at identifying a quarterback for this organization, and they have
- 11:31Speaker 3: a head coach who's supposed to be an expert at
- 11:34Speaker 3: this very thing. What a crash and burn. If they've
- 11:38Speaker 3: already moved on.
- 11:40Speaker 2: From JJ McCarthy.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I'm not saying they shouldn't, because I don't think JJ McCarthy's.
- 11:45Speaker 6: Good, never have, but they should have known that when
- 11:47Speaker 6: he didn't throw for Michigan, but.
- 11:49Speaker 3: To not give him an extended look to figure it
- 11:53Speaker 3: out if Kyler Murray really is the QB one from
- 11:56Speaker 3: day number one. Man, have they botched this? I mean
- 11:59Speaker 3: botched it like few people have watched anything.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I don't.
- 12:03Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if I would go that far.
- 12:05Speaker 5: I mean, I get what you're saying, But at the
- 12:06Speaker 5: same time, it's kind of one of those Wait a second.
- 12:08Speaker 5: You can get a guy that was, you know, a
- 12:10Speaker 5: number one overall pick, that has shown signs of being
- 12:14Speaker 5: able to play quarterback in this league.
- 12:15Speaker 2: You get him for nothing.
- 12:16Speaker 5: Basically, you get him for a song, and you're going
- 12:18Speaker 5: to put it into a quarterback competition with a guy
- 12:20Speaker 5: that is injured.
- 12:21Speaker 2: You don't know if you're when he's going to be ready.
- 12:24Speaker 5: I could see Kyler Murray taking the job, and it
- 12:26Speaker 5: still doesn't necessarily mean that JJ McCarthy will never amount
- 12:30Speaker 5: to anything. It could just be Kyler Murray with Kevin
- 12:33Speaker 5: O'Connell could end up being a decent quarterback. I don't
- 12:36Speaker 5: see that happening, by the way, but I could see
- 12:38Speaker 5: how they would think, well, I'm not the way two people.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Couldn't be successful.
- 12:42Speaker 3: I'm saying they're what they've done with JJ McCarthy as
- 12:45Speaker 3: a crash and burn.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Well, if they never give him an opportunity again, yeah,
- 12:50Speaker 5: I could say, I mean, I'm here, I'm with you
- 12:51Speaker 5: on that. You would have basically wasted a big pick.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Well, and then maybe he just needs to go to
- 12:55Speaker 6: a place that's really good at developing quarterbacks like the Jets.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Here you go, there you go. Yes, we ain't avoiding
- 13:02Speaker 2: the Jets.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Raiders were at the center of the NFL Free agency
- 13:06Speaker 3: week high volume activity plus the Max Crosby drama, the
- 13:09Speaker 3: Rams bolstered their secondary is acts to the throne. The
- 13:12Speaker 3: Champs and San Francisco signed Mike Evans, and everybody that
- 13:16Speaker 3: analyzes the All twenty two is saying that this Mike
- 13:19Speaker 3: Evans signing was the greatest things and sliced bread.
- 13:23Speaker 2: During this NFL free agency period.
- 13:25Speaker 3: So if that gives you any worry, the experts seemed
- 13:29Speaker 3: to think that was a great move by the forty
- 13:31Speaker 3: nine ers.
- 13:31Speaker 2: We shall see, all right.
- 13:32Speaker 7: Moving on to the O Show item number four.
- 13:35Speaker 3: College basketball Udubs season ended yesterday. They gave it a
- 13:39Speaker 3: run against Wisconsin after beating USC close game, but eighty
- 13:43Speaker 3: five eighty two the favored Badgers.
- 13:45Speaker 2: They move on. Here's Danny Sprinkle post game.
- 13:48Speaker 9: You know, just proud of our guys, Like you said,
- 13:50Speaker 9: like that's a hard team to play for us, and
- 13:53Speaker 9: when they were making threes, like they were like the
- 13:56Speaker 9: game can get away from you quick, you know, and
- 13:58Speaker 9: not just us, man, they like they've drilled some really
- 14:00Speaker 9: good teams in this country and that's why they're hard
- 14:03Speaker 9: to guard.
- 14:04Speaker 2: We finally, you know, we got some stops.
- 14:05Speaker 9: We just we had so many open shots that first
- 14:08Speaker 9: thirty minutes that just couldn't fall. You know, once we
- 14:10Speaker 9: started making them, we came back. But you know, give
- 14:12Speaker 9: them credit. But man, I can't tell you how proud
- 14:15Speaker 9: I am of this group. You know, the fight that
- 14:16Speaker 9: this group had, you know, finishing the season with you know,
- 14:20Speaker 9: seven scholarship players, eight total players. Just the grit and
- 14:24Speaker 9: the camaraderie and the togetherness they had was was was special.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Danny Sprinkle's second season as you'd have had basketball coachings
- 14:32Speaker 3: with a disappointing sub five hundred record four games during
- 14:36Speaker 3: the Friday session of the Big Ten Tournament. Top seeds Michigan,
- 14:39Speaker 3: Michigan State, Nebraska, and Illinois played their first games of
- 14:42Speaker 3: the tournament today and it all gets started at nine am.
- 14:45Speaker 3: The Big Twelve Tournament made news they have decided to
- 14:49Speaker 3: move on from their revolutionary playing floor. They had the
- 14:53Speaker 3: first round, couple rounds of the tournament on an LED screen.
- 14:57Speaker 3: They were playing basketball on a giant.
- 14:59Speaker 2: L E D screen.
- 15:00Speaker 3: It's huge television, and all the players were slipping and
- 15:04Speaker 3: there were injuries that occurred. Turns out they didn't test
- 15:07Speaker 3: it for whether or not you should play basketball on it.
- 15:10Speaker 2: They just tested it for how cool it looked.
- 15:13Speaker 3: And the Big Twelve commissioner announced the last night that
- 15:15Speaker 3: they will not keep using it throughout the rest of
- 15:18Speaker 3: the tournament. Selection Sunday is in just two days and
- 15:22Speaker 3: then let the true madness begin.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Item number five.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Stop me if you've heard this one, but the Kraken
- 15:28Speaker 3: or in a slump again.
- 15:29Speaker 10: But kid it right side, turns away to the lie
- 15:32Speaker 10: Bolinsky shot te Dozzub Dowdrey.
- 15:35Speaker 2: He scores.
- 15:37Speaker 10: Woice shot from Bolinski Dozzub Kawdrey got his stick on
- 15:42Speaker 10: it alves lead back to three, four to one, two
- 15:47Speaker 10: forty nine left here of.
- 15:48Speaker 3: A second ever It fits you with the sad McDelivery
- 15:52Speaker 3: of the game. Last night's top call from the Crack
- 15:54Speaker 3: and Audio Network, brought to you by McDonald's ordering the
- 15:57Speaker 3: food you crave with McK delivery as a whole new

- 16:05Speaker 2: See app four details.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Colorado scored three times in the very first period and
- 16:10Speaker 3: never were really threatened. Five to one is your final score.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Last week's Last Weeks trade deadline acquisition. Bobby McMahon still
- 16:20Speaker 3: has not been cleared to play by the league, so
- 16:24Speaker 3: the Kraken definitely getting frustrated by this. Still been without
- 16:28Speaker 3: that trade deadline acquisition. They have lost four in a row.
- 16:32Speaker 3: They have lost six of their eight since the Olympic
- 16:34Speaker 3: break ended. They are back in a slump. The good
- 16:38Speaker 3: news is the way they've played this year, I'm sure
- 16:41Speaker 3: an upcoming seven game winning streak is probably inevitable.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get we need to get Bobby
- 16:46Speaker 2: in there. I don't know.
- 16:47Speaker 5: Hopefully he can play when they're in Canada. Maybe that matters.
- 16:51Speaker 5: Maybe when they're in Vancouver.
- 16:52Speaker 7: Would he be able to because he was playing in Canada?
- 16:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Willn't that be something of your new paperwork violates your
- 17:00Speaker 3: turning to Canada?
- 17:01Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was listened to something with it that
- 17:07Speaker 5: that Benton was talking about. I was like, yeah, well
- 17:09Speaker 5: it made a difficult to share because it fell on
- 17:11Speaker 5: a Friday. That didn't sneak up on people. Did it
- 17:13Speaker 5: that when the trade deadline?
- 17:15Speaker 3: Like?
- 17:15Speaker 2: What day it fell on?
- 17:16Speaker 7: That's what I was And isn't it always on a Friday? No?
- 17:20Speaker 6: I don't think it is, But I would have thought
- 17:22Speaker 6: that the NHL would have been prepared.
- 17:24Speaker 2: That's got to happen. Get our guy in there. We
- 17:26Speaker 2: need him.
- 17:27Speaker 7: Who can't get our guy to be able to play?
- 17:29Speaker 2: When I say we, I mean me need him?
- 17:31Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 17:31Speaker 3: You do the crack and av Vancouver tomorrow night, seven
- 17:34Speaker 3: o'clock right here, at Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 17:37Speaker 3: kJ R f M. The WBC resumes tonight with the
- 17:40Speaker 3: elimination tournament beginning. Mark de Rosa, who has come under
- 17:45Speaker 3: heat for maybe not understanding pool play rules, was asked
- 17:49Speaker 3: about it yesterday at a press conference. Is there anything
- 17:52Speaker 3: that you want to clarify about the timeline of when
- 17:55Speaker 3: all the type breakers became clear to you?
- 17:57Speaker 11: Yeah, it's just an overly confident statement on hotstove period
- 18:01Speaker 11: the end, and it's my fault. It felt good about
- 18:05Speaker 11: where we were after Mexico. Listen, us hanging out in
- 18:10Speaker 11: the clubhouse is everything I ever dreamed of creating. You
- 18:13Speaker 11: got to buy into this thing super quick and try
- 18:15Speaker 11: and create a team.
- 18:16Speaker 2: And they played a hell of a game.
- 18:18Speaker 11: They smacked us in a mouth early, they got up big.
- 18:22Speaker 11: We went into that game prepared to win it. I
- 18:25Speaker 11: think there's a couple of false narratives out there, but no,
- 18:27Speaker 11: I was well aware that we had to win that
- 18:29Speaker 11: game based on all the scenarios that could take place.
- 18:33Speaker 11: I mean they went into and Oh, we went into
- 18:35Speaker 11: and O. We knew they were playing Mexico the next day,
- 18:38Speaker 11: we knew there was tiebreaker rules involved.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Well, they were both three and oh, but I don't care.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I'm not getting hung up on that. I will say this.
- 18:47Speaker 2: I'm hung up on this. He's lying.
- 18:49Speaker 3: He didn't know, and I don't know when he did know.
- 18:51Speaker 3: I'm not saying he didn't know during the game, but
- 18:53Speaker 3: he didn't know the time he made the statement. He's lying,
- 18:56Speaker 3: and he's trying to protect himself to save face a
- 18:58Speaker 3: little bit.
- 18:59Speaker 2: There was a disconnect. He did not understand the rules.
- 19:02Speaker 6: I mean, it doesn't seem like based on his statements
- 19:05Speaker 6: that he made before that game, that he knew the rules,
- 19:08Speaker 6: and if.
- 19:08Speaker 3: He's not, I need a better explanation than that, because
- 19:11Speaker 3: that was not a really convincing argument that he made
- 19:15Speaker 3: in that press conference.
- 19:16Speaker 2: I really like him.
- 19:17Speaker 3: I hope this doesn't haunt him for the rest of
- 19:19Speaker 3: his life, but I think he really messed up. Dominican
- 19:23Speaker 3: at Korea or not at Korea VERSUS Korea at three
- 19:26Speaker 3: point thirty today, US in Canada at five o'clock, so

- 19:45Speaker 7: Are you saying you think the whole sona dress fault
- 19:48Speaker 7: might come off?
- 19:50Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Who should we call ghostbusters? Everybody the drama?
- 20:02Speaker 2: Yes, the earthquakes, beware two and one Sounders. They'll play

- 20:10Speaker 3: MLS place on Saturday this weekend.
- 20:13Speaker 2: All right, coming up next, we are at the end
- 20:16Speaker 2: of the frenzy.
- 20:18Speaker 3: No better time to recap it. Sports Radio ninety three
- 20:20Speaker 3: point three kJ R f M.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Every good frenzy has to come to an end today
- 20:42Speaker 2: as that day.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Ah, I mean, there's more NFL free agency. NFL free agents.
- 20:49Speaker 3: John Schnyders still got money to spend. He's got money
- 20:52Speaker 3: to spend, so you know.
- 20:52Speaker 2: He's not done. He's not done with the off season.
- 20:55Speaker 3: He's gonna do stuff before even the draft rolls around.
- 20:59Speaker 2: But the friends, oh, that has expired. There's no more
- 21:02Speaker 2: friends after this. The frenzies over.
- 21:05Speaker 7: Oh.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I do love a good frenzy almost as much as
- 21:07Speaker 2: I love a great tamper.
- 21:09Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, well you can combine the two we've had a.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Great week of tampering and frenzy.
- 21:14Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I think frenzies should have a shelf life.
- 21:17Speaker 5: I think that too long of a frenzy becomes I
- 21:20Speaker 5: don't know, you.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Have a heart attack if you maintain that high level
- 21:23Speaker 2: of frenzy. Yeah, it's probably true.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Yeah, So we got to have a little tamper and
- 21:27Speaker 5: then some frenzy, and then I'm not good enough, just relaxed.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Not good enough shape to handle that much frenzy.
- 21:32Speaker 7: To keep that going day after day after day.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Right, I would have to take up crack or math
- 21:37Speaker 2: or something something healthy. Yeah, yeah, I'd have to keep
- 21:40Speaker 2: doing it. I agree. I don't want that.
- 21:43Speaker 3: So here we said at the end of the week,
- 21:45Speaker 3: and I mean, I realize it's fun to get new toys.
- 21:51Speaker 3: And the Seahawks didn't get a lot of new toys.
- 21:54Speaker 3: What they did get seemed very practical, like a pair
- 21:57Speaker 3: of socks, good pair of.
- 21:58Speaker 7: Socks, like a good pair They're great, but not exciting.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Right, it's not exciting.
- 22:03Speaker 3: I mean, I like Emmanuel Wilson, but when that's your
- 22:07Speaker 3: free agent ad during something called the frenzy, I get
- 22:11Speaker 3: that people out there wanted more because they're appetite for
- 22:17Speaker 3: Seahawk football right now, and watching four starters leave through
- 22:21Speaker 3: free agency.
- 22:22Speaker 2: And not really adding much back in return.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I get why you're not necessarily satisfied, but I am.
- 22:30Speaker 2: I am with this week.
- 22:31Speaker 3: I think about what they achieved this week, and I
- 22:34Speaker 3: think this is what smart organizations, executives of the year,
- 22:40Speaker 3: super Bowl champion front office says do.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Don't overpay for anyone.
- 22:48Speaker 3: There's an argument that maybe they did for Rashid Shaihied,
- 22:50Speaker 3: but we were hearing Friday last Friday that eighteen million
- 22:54Speaker 3: dollars per year was what his salary was at. We
- 22:57Speaker 3: thought that was insane, insanely high. But they got him
- 23:01Speaker 3: for seventeen million dollars per year. So maybe you could
- 23:04Speaker 3: make an argument that they did slightly overpaid, but they
- 23:06Speaker 3: didn't for job, and they didn't for anybody else. Leave
- 23:09Speaker 3: space for in season moves. John does that every year.
- 23:13Speaker 3: I think he's smart to do that, and he's one
- 23:15Speaker 3: of the most aggressive in season traders in the history of.
- 23:18Speaker 2: The National Football League. So he's done that.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Have a plan beyond twenty twenty six. When you are
- 23:25Speaker 3: building something in the off season, you have to think
- 23:28Speaker 3: about twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight and twenty
- 23:32Speaker 3: twenty nine, and those that don't I think end up
- 23:34Speaker 3: paying for it. Eventually. The Rams figured their way around
- 23:38Speaker 3: it somehow a couple of years ago. But I think
- 23:41Speaker 3: John feels more comfortable in that space. And I think
- 23:44Speaker 3: that was done deliberately this offseason and done well. He
- 23:48Speaker 3: kept himself from, you know, doing too many things to
- 23:53Speaker 3: try to keep the team together, very calm, very steady
- 23:57Speaker 3: hand to keep in mind this isn't just about staying
- 24:01Speaker 3: great for twenty twenty six, but it is for beyond
- 24:03Speaker 3: as well, keep special, special teams grouped together on the cheap.
- 24:08Speaker 3: I think he did that, and he's left himself some
- 24:11Speaker 3: room to add more free agents here and also to
- 24:15Speaker 3: get JSN and Devin Witherspoon done sooner than later long term.
- 24:21Speaker 2: I like the week.
- 24:22Speaker 3: You know, I know it's not the sexiest week, but
- 24:24Speaker 3: your world champions for goodness sake, and I think these
- 24:27Speaker 3: are world I think this is world championship. Caution and
- 24:31Speaker 3: steady handedness. Sure, I mean the idea of you. I mean,
- 24:35Speaker 3: obviously you don't have a ton You're not in the
- 24:37Speaker 3: middle of some sort of rebuild, you don't have a
- 24:38Speaker 3: ton of things you have to do. You're going to
- 24:41Speaker 3: lose some folks. I mean every single year you're gonna
- 24:43Speaker 3: have people's contracts come up, and and you know we've
- 24:46Speaker 3: seen them excuse me, try to, you know, lock down
- 24:49Speaker 3: the things that they need to lock down at when
- 24:51Speaker 3: that time comes there. You know, when Charles Cross or
- 24:55Speaker 3: you know, even Sam Donald, when they end up going
- 24:57Speaker 3: out and getting Sam Donald. They didn't do it on
- 24:59Speaker 3: just so one year situation. They said, Okay, we think
- 25:02Speaker 3: this is something for the future. And then now with
- 25:05Speaker 3: running back, I think that you have you don't know
- 25:08Speaker 3: for sure what you're going to need after this season, right,
- 25:12Speaker 3: and so you have Zach Charbonay's and come back at
- 25:14Speaker 3: some point in time. If he comes back and he's
- 25:16Speaker 3: completely healthy, I think that there's an idea that they
- 25:20Speaker 3: that might be a guy that they bring back because
- 25:22Speaker 3: this will be his final season on his rookie contract.
- 25:24Speaker 3: So I think they're they're piecing this thing together with
- 25:28Speaker 3: the long term and the short term, you know, kind
- 25:31Speaker 3: of in view. They're looking at the entire thing and
- 25:33Speaker 3: trying to figure out how do you kind of stay
- 25:35Speaker 3: where you're at while you also know you have to
- 25:37Speaker 3: make long term agreements with guys like Jackson Smith and
- 25:41Speaker 3: Jigwin and Witherspoon.
- 25:42Speaker 7: Yeah, they're being smart and I think a prudent. That's
- 25:46Speaker 7: a good way to put it.
- 25:47Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, I still am I disappointed
- 25:50Speaker 6: that we didn't get Kobe Bryant back, Yes, but for
- 25:52Speaker 6: that money. No, And I'm glad we got job and
- 25:55Speaker 6: I'm glad we got Shahed and I'm glad we're bringing
- 25:57Speaker 6: in a running back at a great price to see
- 25:59Speaker 6: what can happen there.
- 26:00Speaker 7: And it's everything I would expect from John Schneider.
- 26:03Speaker 6: I mean, he is a very He's just really good
- 26:07Speaker 6: at what he does.
- 26:08Speaker 3: And better and I think, I mean there was some
- 26:12Speaker 3: time where he was not doing very well. I mean
- 26:17Speaker 3: he was missing on drafts and missing on free agents
- 26:19Speaker 3: and made a couple of bad trades which seemed very
- 26:22Speaker 3: unlike him. I think it was Pete, Yeah, frankly, And
- 26:26Speaker 3: now that's the like now that the path is cleared
- 26:28Speaker 3: and he and Mike just seem to be on the
- 26:31Speaker 3: same page and they know exactly what it is that
- 26:33Speaker 3: they want need and they're doing a great job of
- 26:36Speaker 3: getting it. And I think they have a world championship
- 26:39Speaker 3: as evidence for that, and they've got cap space here
- 26:43Speaker 3: remaining as well. The thing that I think I would
- 26:45Speaker 3: want next to know if I were John, and again
- 26:50Speaker 3: this might be just talk show host boy being unnecessarily
- 26:54Speaker 3: worried about something. I would go meet with DeMarcus Lawrence
- 26:58Speaker 3: and I would say, Okay, what's going on.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I don't want to be caught off guard. Are you
- 27:02Speaker 2: going to play next year or not?
- 27:04Speaker 3: You know, when when's enough time for us to give
- 27:10Speaker 3: you that you feel as fair?
- 27:12Speaker 2: Because there are.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Some veteran free agents right now that might want to
- 27:16Speaker 3: leap aboard this ship and try to win a championship
- 27:19Speaker 3: that might be able to kind of replicate what DeMarcus
- 27:23Speaker 3: Lawrence did. Joey Bosa, for example, did not find a
- 27:26Speaker 3: job this week. Cameron Jordan looks like his long career
- 27:29Speaker 3: with the New Orleans Saints is over. Von Miller is
- 27:32Speaker 3: still out there. Those are just like veteran types that
- 27:35Speaker 3: could possibly be the leadership element and the physical element
- 27:40Speaker 3: that Lawrence brought to the table that I might want
- 27:43Speaker 3: to go get. But I don't want to get him
- 27:45Speaker 3: because I don't want to duplicate what I already have
- 27:48Speaker 3: in de Marcus Lawrence.
- 27:50Speaker 2: So I need to know are you going to retire
- 27:52Speaker 2: or not? You know? Yeah, when do you think is.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Enough time away from you know, your shirtless parade that
- 28:00Speaker 3: we can reasonably expect an answer from you? Because I
- 28:05Speaker 3: don't want this veteran pass rusher market to dry up
- 28:10Speaker 3: and then be left down two pass rushers because I've
- 28:13Speaker 3: already lost Mafe. That's what I think I would want
- 28:15Speaker 3: to know next.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would like to I would imagine when
- 28:19Speaker 5: we hear that there is speculation or you know, there's
- 28:24Speaker 5: stuff out there that he's thinking about possibly walking away, right,
- 28:27Speaker 5: I would think that you have had that conversation that
- 28:31Speaker 5: exact one of Hey, do you when are you going
- 28:34Speaker 5: to know for sure?
- 28:35Speaker 2: Right?
- 28:35Speaker 5: Or when can I come back to you to find
- 28:37Speaker 5: out for sure? Because of that exact same reason that
- 28:40Speaker 5: you're talking about. I mean, at this point, the frenzy's
- 28:42Speaker 5: over right, that mad rush at the beginning of the
- 28:46Speaker 5: tampering period and the beginning that the first couple of waves.
- 28:49Speaker 5: At this point, yeah, I think you're still looking at
- 28:52Speaker 5: there's a handful of guys that would maybe fit the
- 28:54Speaker 5: bill that are going to be less than what you
- 28:58Speaker 5: think of DeMarcus Lawrence. At this point in time, but
- 29:00Speaker 5: they would fill that void to some degree if somebody
- 29:03Speaker 5: that's been there, done that, maybe has a little bit
- 29:05Speaker 5: of gas left in the tank can pick up the
- 29:07Speaker 5: system and join right in like a veteran, you would
- 29:10Speaker 5: want to do.
- 29:10Speaker 3: So we'll play for the cheap to be on a
- 29:12Speaker 3: great team to try to win a championship for their
- 29:14Speaker 3: careers over yeah, yeah, I mean cheap comparatively, right, I
- 29:18Speaker 3: mean my edgeresser at twelve million bucks.
- 29:20Speaker 5: If you were to if DeMarcus Lawrence was to give
- 29:22Speaker 5: up his salary, and you're like, okay, well then we
- 29:24Speaker 5: can use that somewhere else. You don't want to have
- 29:26Speaker 5: that excess money just be sitting around where we now,
- 29:30Speaker 5: where are we going to spend this on something that
- 29:32Speaker 5: is not going to equate to the same thing. I'm
- 29:33Speaker 5: with you on that, but I would I would think
- 29:35Speaker 5: that once you hear he's thinking about it, that you
- 29:38Speaker 5: have had that conversation. Okay, well when are we going
- 29:40Speaker 5: to know? Because I have roster construction to figure out here.
- 29:44Speaker 2: All right?
- 29:45Speaker 3: Coming up next on the radio program. We spent a
- 29:48Speaker 3: little bit of time on this yesterday, but not as
- 29:50Speaker 3: much to satisfy me. So we'll talk about Bryce Miller's injury.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 30:05Speaker 2: I get a little funky here on a Friday.
- 30:07Speaker 7: Yeah, I've grabbing some new beds.
- 30:12Speaker 2: I like this one.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Hugh Melanon's gonna join us at nine o'clock. We'll get
- 30:19Speaker 3: his reaction to the Emmanuel Wilson sign. I'm sure a
- 30:21Speaker 3: lot of you woke up this morning thinking to yourself,
- 30:25Speaker 3: what am I supposed to think about this guy? Sure
- 30:27Speaker 3: wish I had a handy dandy Hugh Millen interview to
- 30:31Speaker 3: help me out with what I should be thinking about
- 30:34Speaker 3: this dude from Green Bay. Well, we're gonna get it
- 30:36Speaker 3: for you. Hugh Millan watched every snap Emmanuel Wilson's taking
- 30:40Speaker 3: since he was four years old.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Yeah, playing pee wee football. Yeah. There's one thing we
- 30:44Speaker 2: know about breed Love is he likes to be prepared. Yes,
- 30:47Speaker 2: he does.
- 30:48Speaker 5: And so you're not really even you're trying to joke around,
- 30:53Speaker 5: but I'm pretty sure he's watched all of his grid
- 30:54Speaker 5: Kid runs as well. I think I'm not sure about
- 30:58Speaker 5: the grid Kid. They'll play play ground, and I mean
- 31:00Speaker 5: preschool playground.
- 31:02Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure Hugh and I have very different ideas
- 31:04Speaker 7: of fun.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you're not ever going to be our QB.
- 31:10Speaker 7: One, And you know I can a long time ago stop.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Chasing that dreamt it. It's not going to happen for
- 31:17Speaker 3: you because you don't have the kind of commitment that
- 31:20Speaker 3: we require. H Millon does, so he'll join us at
- 31:24Speaker 3: nine o'clock and break it down for us. All right,
- 31:26Speaker 3: let's talk some baseball. Though I brought it up as
- 31:29Speaker 3: my one last thing yesterday, I just don't feel it's
- 31:30Speaker 3: a sufficient amount of enough time to have discussed it
- 31:33Speaker 3: this week. But it doesn't look like Bryce Miller is
- 31:35Speaker 3: going to start the season in our starting rotation, and
- 31:38Speaker 3: that stings out loud. I was really, I really think
- 31:40Speaker 3: he's going to have a really good year. I still do.
- 31:42Speaker 3: I think he's going to have a.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Really good year.
- 31:44Speaker 3: But for I obleak to pop up during spring training
- 31:47Speaker 3: and you know, WBCs like front burner baseball conversation right now.
- 31:52Speaker 3: But the Mariners spring training continued this entire last couple
- 31:56Speaker 3: of weeks, and one of the stories was how great
- 31:59Speaker 3: Bryce Miller looked early and then that got slowed down,
- 32:02Speaker 3: that got stymied by the fact that he suffered an
- 32:05Speaker 3: injury has nothing to do with the injury yet a
- 32:06Speaker 3: year ago, but nonetheless it does look like it's going
- 32:09Speaker 3: to keep him off the opening day roster.
- 32:11Speaker 2: And it stinks. Yeah.
- 32:12Speaker 5: I mean they he was feeling that tightness or whatever
- 32:16Speaker 5: discomfort in his left oblique and then immediately shut it
- 32:20Speaker 5: down and said, well, this is kind of normal. Apparently
- 32:22Speaker 5: that's something that he typically does feel as he starts
- 32:25Speaker 5: to ramp stuff up.
- 32:26Speaker 2: But they're like, well, we're not going to push it.
- 32:28Speaker 5: We don't want to turn this into something because those obliques,
- 32:31Speaker 5: all of those extens your muscles in your ribs, those
- 32:33Speaker 5: are those get tweaked out a little bit to where
- 32:37Speaker 5: it's beyond just you know, inflammation. It turns into like
- 32:40Speaker 5: some sort of tear now of a sudden, you have
- 32:42Speaker 5: something that takes a long time. And apparently just earlier
- 32:45Speaker 5: this week or maybe last weekend, he threw a little bit,
- 32:48Speaker 5: a little touch and feel thing at eighty percent and
- 32:51Speaker 5: was fine. They had no setbacks. Then when they take
- 32:54Speaker 5: the next step where it's like a time for him
- 32:56Speaker 5: to go for a full effort bullpen, he feels a
- 32:59Speaker 5: little bit as he's getting ready to do that, and
- 33:01Speaker 5: so they shut him back down.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Again, I'm with you.
- 33:02Speaker 5: I think he's probably not going to start because now
- 33:04Speaker 5: he's behind. Now you stretch him out, you're not trying
- 33:07Speaker 5: to get him to where he starts, you know, his
- 33:10Speaker 5: first couple starts and you're like, hey, we're going to
- 33:12Speaker 5: go three innings WBC style. You know, you're trying to
- 33:16Speaker 5: hit the ground running when it comes to regular season.
- 33:18Speaker 2: So I'm with you.
- 33:19Speaker 5: I think they probably is going to start on the shelf.
- 33:20Speaker 5: And yet hopefully it's not too terribly ang because I
- 33:23Speaker 5: think he is going to have a good year.
- 33:24Speaker 6: I do feel like though, there's always somebody that we hear, oh,
- 33:27Speaker 6: they should be fine, it's not that big of a deal,
- 33:29Speaker 6: and then it ends up being something that's longer, and
- 33:32Speaker 6: so I always worry when I hear that, oh, it's
- 33:35Speaker 6: not that big of a deal.
- 33:36Speaker 7: It's fine, we're just going to not start him. You know,
- 33:40Speaker 7: we're just going to take it slow.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe that's what they're doing. Maybe they've course
- 33:43Speaker 3: corrected as a PR department. They're like, let's just tell
- 33:46Speaker 3: everybody that's a big deal, and then they'll be so
- 33:48Speaker 3: surprised when it's not.
- 33:49Speaker 7: Yeah that's true.
- 33:50Speaker 2: It's like so much.
- 33:51Speaker 3: Less of a deal than what we made it out
- 33:53Speaker 3: to be normally at the beginning of the year because
- 33:56Speaker 3: of rain outs. I mean, you don't have to worry
- 33:59Speaker 3: about that here, but because of ram sometimes they will stagger.
- 34:03Speaker 3: Like you, if you open on Thursday, maybe you don't
- 34:06Speaker 3: play Friday, right, and if you have a couple of
- 34:10Speaker 3: those days off early that are built into the schedule
- 34:13Speaker 3: to account for weather, then sometimes you wouldn't even have
- 34:17Speaker 3: to use your number five starter, and he's they'll buy
- 34:19Speaker 3: some time, he'll be the number five starter coming out
- 34:21Speaker 3: of the gates. But we don't have that luxury this year.
- 34:25Speaker 3: We play Friday Thursday, March twenty sixth, and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
- 34:30Speaker 3: and Wednesday, so we don't have that luxury of a
- 34:34Speaker 3: couple of where maybe maybe he's not on the opening
- 34:38Speaker 3: day roster and you fill a spot with a relief
- 34:41Speaker 3: pitcher because you're not gonna.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Need your fifth starter for a while.
- 34:45Speaker 3: But we would need our fifth starter on Monday, March
- 34:48Speaker 3: thirtieth against the New York Yankees. I would love for
- 34:52Speaker 3: Bryce Miller to be there. I doubt he's going to be,
- 34:55Speaker 3: but this is why you move Emerson Hancock back to
- 34:58Speaker 3: a starter. I know that they were contemplating that maybe
- 35:01Speaker 3: his future is as a reliever. Changed his arm slot
- 35:04Speaker 3: a little bit at the end of last season. Seemed
- 35:06Speaker 3: a little nasty with that. At the end of last year,
- 35:09Speaker 3: was pretty effective as a reliever, but the offseason he
- 35:14Speaker 3: went back to the starting rotation. And even though a
- 35:16Speaker 3: former first round I mean, he was picked higher than
- 35:18Speaker 3: any of these guys in the draft. So even though
- 35:23Speaker 3: he would love to be in the starting rotation and
- 35:25Speaker 3: he's not, and I'm sure that kills him to some degree,
- 35:29Speaker 3: it is nice to have him around.
- 35:30Speaker 2: I think that he's an effective number six guy.
- 35:33Speaker 5: Yeah, wouldn't this be I think the third year in
- 35:35Speaker 5: row that he ends up starting the season in the
- 35:37Speaker 5: rotation due to some injury. I think it's a got
- 35:41Speaker 5: to You're gonna have to have more than five guys,
- 35:43Speaker 5: and they do.
- 35:43Speaker 2: They have a guy.
- 35:44Speaker 5: I think that Emerson is still just scratching the surface
- 35:47Speaker 5: of what he's capable of at the big league level.
- 35:49Speaker 5: Hasn't had the full blown, you know chance at kind
- 35:54Speaker 5: of overcoming a little bit of a hiccup early in
- 35:56Speaker 5: the year and sticking in the rotation and a lot
- 35:59Speaker 5: of that that's just simply because of how good the
- 36:01Speaker 5: other guys are. I mean, if you were he was
- 36:04Speaker 5: pitching in probably thirty other organizations, he'd be locked in
- 36:07Speaker 5: number four maybe number three guy, on some rotation. So
- 36:10Speaker 5: it's good to have him. You're gonna you're gonna probably
- 36:13Speaker 5: need it. It's unfortunate that it could be at Texas,
- 36:16Speaker 5: you know, expense, where he's maybe not ready to go
- 36:19Speaker 5: a little bit, But I think he'll be back before
- 36:21Speaker 5: too terribly long. I don't This is frustrating, but it's
- 36:24Speaker 5: not catastrophic in my opinion.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Hey, hey, your nickname is Clint Eastwood. In my book,
- 36:28Speaker 3: Clin Eastwood never missed a gunfight with an obleaque. You
- 36:32Speaker 3: don't think gay, Bryce, I don't think so. Yeah, I'm
- 36:34Speaker 3: gonna need you to be tough for your bud, all right.
