Chuck & Buck 4-16 Hour 3: M's blow it... Stocking Stuffers and Sup?! · Chuck in the Morning

0:11
Speaker 1: Wow, eight o'clock hour here on this Thursday morning. Great
0:16
Speaker 1: to have you with us. And when I say us,
0:18
Speaker 1: I mean Ashley Ryan, I mean Chuck Powell, no Bucky Jacobson. Today.
0:22
Speaker 1: You know, I'm starting to wonder. I mean, I always
0:25
Speaker 1: thought he was saying that tongue in cheek for all
0:27
Speaker 1: these years. I don't know if he likes draftmus as
0:30
Speaker 1: much as I thought that he did.
0:32
Speaker 2: Oh are you saying you think that this is all
0:34
Speaker 2: aployed I'm skip Draftmas.
0:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. He always says nasty, unfair, and I they'm so horrible,
0:42
Speaker 1: I mean, just horrific things. Wow about it, Like he's
0:45
Speaker 1: not interested or that I put too much for that.
0:49
Speaker 3: You just made it up. He made it a bigger deal.
0:52
Speaker 1: Right that I'm somehow overhyping it, you know, just really vile, vile,
0:59
Speaker 1: nasty things that have come. And I just like he's
1:01
Speaker 1: being so over the top where there's commentary that I
1:05
Speaker 1: think he's trying to deflect from how much he loves it.
1:09
Speaker 1: But now that he's not been here for the entire draft,
1:12
Speaker 1: miss Holiday makes a guy wonder.
1:14
Speaker 3: Makes me wonder.
1:15
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about it that way, But you're right,
1:17
Speaker 2: he he start he has been out since right before
1:21
Speaker 2: we started draft. Miss I don't now that you've brought
1:24
Speaker 2: it up. I don't think that's a coincidence. And you
1:26
Speaker 2: know what, Buck, We're gonna have a chat.
1:28
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah. Yeah. He makes comments here and there.
1:30
Speaker 1: But you know, I always like, did you ever see
1:34
Speaker 1: the movie with Kevin Spacey and you know, the oh gosh, oh,
1:41
Speaker 1: why can't I think of it where you know he
1:43
Speaker 1: falls in love with.
1:44
Speaker 3: The American beauty, American beauty? How did I just I'm
1:48
Speaker 3: not the movie person.
1:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the neighbor, you know, he was so over
1:51
Speaker 1: the top about you know, hating you know, gay people,
1:54
Speaker 1: and then he turned out to be gay. I kind
1:57
Speaker 1: of thought that's what I was getting from Bucky, Like
2:00
Speaker 1: he was so over the top with his nastiness about
2:02
Speaker 1: the Draft that I thought that he secretly loves the
2:05
Speaker 1: Draft more than anybody. That's what I was thinking.
2:08
Speaker 2: Or he's just at home and he's got so much Draftmas,
2:12
Speaker 2: so many Draftmas decorations, oh, throughout the house, and he
2:16
Speaker 2: just felt like he couldn't come to work and get
2:19
Speaker 2: prepared maybe at home for Draftmas, and he really does
2:22
Speaker 2: love it more than everybody.
2:23
Speaker 1: Well, I would like to believe that, but his absence
2:26
Speaker 1: this month has really made me question. That's fair how
2:29
Speaker 1: much he loves draft.
2:30
Speaker 3: Miss Yeah, that's a fair thing to.
2:31
Speaker 1: Question Stocking Stuffer's coming up at the bottom of the
2:34
Speaker 1: hour at eight thirty. But we have a bigger story
2:36
Speaker 1: to discuss, and that is the Mariners blowing a six
2:39
Speaker 1: run lead. It wasn't a four run lead that they
2:42
Speaker 1: blew last night. They blew a six run lead. They
2:45
Speaker 1: wasted another excellent Emerson Hancock starting pitching performance. They wasted
2:51
Speaker 1: another great night at the plate from Randy a Rose
2:53
Speaker 1: Arena and from Luke Rayley and Andre's Munno swore the
2:59
Speaker 1: bulk of that accusation as our closer came in in
3:05
Speaker 1: the ninth with a four run lead, didn't even have
3:07
Speaker 1: a save opportunity. They wouldn't even accounted that as a
3:11
Speaker 1: save had he closed out the game, because the victory
3:15
Speaker 1: seemed so certain six to two. Your best relief pitcher
3:20
Speaker 1: waltzing into the baseball game and somehow you lose the
3:25
Speaker 1: Padres score five times. They were down to their last
3:28
Speaker 1: strike numerous times in the inning, and Jackson Merrill ends
3:32
Speaker 1: up squeezing a double down the left field line for
3:36
Speaker 1: a seven to six Padres win. And yeah, it's only
3:40
Speaker 1: counts as one loss. I said the previous day, I
3:44
Speaker 1: wasn't bothered much at all about the first loss in
3:46
Speaker 1: this series. But that's a bad loss. That's a terrible loss.
3:49
Speaker 1: You're up by six, you seem to be cruising. I mean,
3:53
Speaker 1: you know you've got the what is it, the butter
3:55
Speaker 1: and the refrigerator they old Chuck chick hern line, and
4:00
Speaker 1: yet you end up losing this game. There's no two
4:02
Speaker 1: ways about this. That's a bad loss last night.
4:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was terrible and you had it in hand.
4:09
Speaker 2: I mean it was yours to just seal up and finish,
4:13
Speaker 2: and you put your closer in who should be getting
4:16
Speaker 2: the job done. I mean, he even had a lot
4:18
Speaker 2: of room for error. You have a four run lead.
4:20
Speaker 2: He didn't have to be perfect, but he had to
4:22
Speaker 2: have something.
4:23
Speaker 1: Well he was. I mean he was even one down.
4:27
Speaker 1: He still had a chance to get out of it.
4:29
Speaker 1: And Dan Wilson decided to go to Jose Ferrer, which
4:31
Speaker 1: I don't blame him, and Ferrera ends up giving up
4:34
Speaker 1: the game winning hit to Jackson Merrill. So yeah, on
4:37
Speaker 1: their last strike of the game, yep, let's put it
4:39
Speaker 1: all into its proper perspective, and I think it starts
4:43
Speaker 1: with and I wish that psychologists could explore this for
4:46
Speaker 1: us here in the sports world. I don't know why
4:48
Speaker 1: this happens. Mandres Munos isn't the only victim of it,
4:53
Speaker 1: but that save statistics shouldn't be so important that anybody
4:58
Speaker 1: entering the game that doesn't have a chance at that
5:00
Speaker 1: stat should be less than what they are when they
5:04
Speaker 1: do have a chance of that stat. And I think
5:06
Speaker 1: Andres is guilty of it. And we have a history
5:10
Speaker 1: of closers being guilty of this, just not as sharp.
5:13
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're just not on their mental game.
5:16
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. It shouldn't happen. I mean,
5:19
Speaker 1: it's six to two. It's not like you're blowing them
5:22
Speaker 1: out at that point, even though there's a save that's
5:24
Speaker 1: not on the line. Why do we see proven closers
5:29
Speaker 1: have difficulty unless the game really is on the line.
5:35
Speaker 1: And I think it started there. Munos I don't think
5:39
Speaker 1: was he just wasn't sharp. He hasn't been sharp all
5:42
Speaker 1: season long. But you walk into a game like that,
5:45
Speaker 1: and the last thing that you want to do up
5:47
Speaker 1: four is to give up a lead off walk, and yeah,
5:49
Speaker 1: he had some bad luck in that inning, but it
5:52
Speaker 1: all started with him walking Manny Machado to get the
5:55
Speaker 1: inning started, and then he couldn't get on top of
5:57
Speaker 1: his slider the entire inning as well, and then they
6:01
Speaker 1: just continued to pound hits and fine grass and fine
6:05
Speaker 1: fair territory when it looked like it was gonna go foul,
6:08
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, you're in a heap
6:10
Speaker 1: of trouble. So I don't know why this happens to closers,
6:13
Speaker 1: but I do believe it happens to our guy, and
6:16
Speaker 1: he just was not on his game last night. Had
6:19
Speaker 1: he entered that game and it was six to five,
6:22
Speaker 1: we probably end up with a better result. Probably no,
6:25
Speaker 1: because he would just be more mentally in tune. But
6:30
Speaker 1: this has happened before, and it's not happened to more
6:33
Speaker 1: closers than just Andre's munos. And I have no idea
6:36
Speaker 1: why it exists.
6:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like they come in too relaxed because
6:40
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, all right, I just gotta throw a
6:43
Speaker 2: couple pitches.
6:43
Speaker 3: We're gonna get out of this.
6:44
Speaker 2: We're good, we're going home, Versus, okay, I got to
6:47
Speaker 2: be on the top of my game because I got
6:48
Speaker 2: to preserve this one run lead, and let's do this.
6:51
Speaker 3: I don't know.
6:52
Speaker 2: I don't know if it is a different mentality that
6:54
Speaker 2: you have in one situation versus the other, but well, it.
6:58
Speaker 1: Certainly is, yeah, and and it shouldn't affect you that much.
7:02
Speaker 1: But then once the you know you're not sharp, and
7:05
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they start putting together hits
7:07
Speaker 1: and then I, oh, wow, now I've really got a
7:10
Speaker 1: fire to put out. But I didn't show up at
7:12
Speaker 1: the mound sharp.
7:14
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring my fire hydrant.
7:15
Speaker 1: I'm without my slider right now, which Andris Munos throws
7:19
Speaker 1: a one hundred and one hundred two miles per hour, but
7:20
Speaker 1: his best pitch is a slider. I thought cal Rawley
7:23
Speaker 1: wasn't calling for the sinker enough because that thing was
7:27
Speaker 1: moving ridiculously. I think I would have just thrown that
7:29
Speaker 1: the entire inning rather than mess around with anything anything else,
7:34
Speaker 1: because it was really the only thing that was working
7:35
Speaker 1: for him last night. But the problems mounted, and the
7:40
Speaker 1: problems mounted because there are a lot of people. I
7:42
Speaker 1: mean again, early season one hundred and sixty two games,
7:47
Speaker 1: we tend to overreact to everything at this part of
7:50
Speaker 1: the season, and even this. I mean, if you are
7:54
Speaker 1: sitting there last night, you can be angry at Andre's Muno's,
7:58
Speaker 1: but it better in there. Anybody that was tweeting up,
8:02
Speaker 1: get rid of him. Brash should be our closer. You'll
8:05
Speaker 1: put him on the il. There's something clearly wrong with him.
8:08
Speaker 1: Any of that, it's just that's nonsense. Be angry. He
8:12
Speaker 1: blew the game. I want to blame somebody, blame Andres Munos.
8:15
Speaker 1: Andres Munjos will tell you I blew the game. That's
8:18
Speaker 1: my job. My job is to finish that thing off,
8:21
Speaker 1: and I didn't get the job done.
8:22
Speaker 3: He wouldn't shut that on anyone else, that's for sure.
8:24
Speaker 1: The blame goes on Andres Muno's for it last night.
8:28
Speaker 1: But this is somebody that has been elite as a
8:32
Speaker 1: closer the last two years, not just good, not just great,
8:36
Speaker 1: elite as a closer the last couple of years. He's
8:39
Speaker 1: never been less than good as a Mariner, and he
8:43
Speaker 1: just had a bad outing last night. Now I'll give
8:46
Speaker 1: you this. I'll give you this if you want to
8:48
Speaker 1: be critical of Andre's I don't think he's been sharp
8:51
Speaker 1: all season long. He does not look like the same
8:53
Speaker 1: guy that he did the last couple of years, and
8:56
Speaker 1: the statistics bear that out. And so maybe there is
9:00
Speaker 1: something a little bit wrong with him. Maybe there's something
9:02
Speaker 1: a little bit off. But to me, he's earned plenty
9:06
Speaker 1: of opportunities to write this thing, and I'm sure that
9:10
Speaker 1: the organization's going to give him those opportunities.
9:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he I when you just said maybe
9:15
Speaker 2: something is wrong, I'm remembering back to when he had
9:18
Speaker 2: that pitch that he threw and then he was kind
9:20
Speaker 2: of it seemed like maybe stretching his lower back, But
9:23
Speaker 2: then we didn't know if it was that or if
9:24
Speaker 2: it was something with his breathing or what had happened there.
9:27
Speaker 3: So I don't know if his back is bothering him.
9:29
Speaker 2: But if that's the case, well he needs to not
9:32
Speaker 2: be pitching right now because we need him at tip.
9:34
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not going to be helpful If he's
9:36
Speaker 2: half of what he usually is.
9:38
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he's half.
9:40
Speaker 3: But you know what, I'm just, yeah, exaggerating.
9:42
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's the problem. And if it
9:45
Speaker 1: is the problem, then shame on the Mariners because they
9:47
Speaker 1: are not I mean, they know that information. We don't
9:50
Speaker 1: know that information, and if he's if he's injured at all,
9:53
Speaker 1: then they shouldn't be using him in those situations. The
9:57
Speaker 1: explanation for that day was that he just didn't feel good.
10:00
Speaker 1: I just don't think he felt good that day and
10:03
Speaker 1: he needed a breather. He thought maybe he's gonna throw
10:05
Speaker 1: up or something, and they didn't want to expose him.
10:08
Speaker 1: If it's a back problem or anything of that nature,
10:11
Speaker 1: or an arm problem, then we would know about it
10:15
Speaker 1: or they would use him differently going forward. So I
10:18
Speaker 1: don't think that was the situation. And let's face it,
10:22
Speaker 1: there's also a situation here where it wasn't all on him.
10:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I told Ashley yesterday that I will buy
10:30
Speaker 1: the taser that we use on me. If I consistently
10:34
Speaker 1: use bad luck as a reason why the Mariners lose games.
10:39
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be that guy. But it does
10:41
Speaker 1: happen on occasion. I mentioned the previous day. Hey, I
10:44
Speaker 1: think that that if you took the average exit velocity
10:47
Speaker 1: off the bat of the two teams, even though the
10:51
Speaker 1: Mariners had four hits and the Padres had eleven two
10:54
Speaker 1: nights ago, I'd argue the Mariners hit the ball harder
10:57
Speaker 1: that day. They were finding green grass and they were
10:59
Speaker 1: finding holes and the ms weren't. So that's why I
11:02
Speaker 1: wasn't too bothered about the lost two nights ago and
11:06
Speaker 1: last night a little bit different. There was some there
11:09
Speaker 1: was some solid contact obviously in that inning, and I'm
11:12
Speaker 1: not going to use any other reason for why we
11:14
Speaker 1: lost other than Andre's Munos had a terrible night. But
11:18
Speaker 1: even within that Sheets double to left field, he got
11:24
Speaker 1: beat on that barely squeezes it in down the third baseline.
11:28
Speaker 1: I mean, he had some hard hit balls Gavin Sheets
11:30
Speaker 1: last night, and our outfielders tracked them down. That wasn't
11:34
Speaker 1: one of them, but that one found chalk and got
11:38
Speaker 1: the inning going. After the man Machado walk Ty France
11:43
Speaker 1: with a chop off the plate. Ty France hasn't had
11:46
Speaker 1: an infield single since he was playing kickball in the
11:48
Speaker 1: third grade.
11:49
Speaker 3: Well, and then didn't it go off Munjos's glove when
11:51
Speaker 3: he was trying to reach to grab it.
11:53
Speaker 1: It went up into the air.
11:56
Speaker 3: It was a.
11:56
Speaker 1: Perfect Yeah, he almost had it, perfect perfect circumstances for
12:00
Speaker 1: an infield single for ty France. It hits off the plate,
12:03
Speaker 1: bounds high into the air, goes into no man's land
12:07
Speaker 1: over the mound. Munos is having to field it, and
12:11
Speaker 1: a pitcher's not a great fielder on that play to
12:13
Speaker 1: begin with number one, because you don't practice that. Who
12:16
Speaker 1: practices the bounder off the plate that goes seventy feet
12:21
Speaker 1: into the field and lands on the other side of
12:24
Speaker 1: the mound.
12:24
Speaker 3: I hope no one.
12:25
Speaker 1: And so here you have Munos trying to run downhill,
12:29
Speaker 1: catch a ball over his head and throw out a
12:32
Speaker 1: slow runner at first, and he didn't field it cleanly,
12:35
Speaker 1: and I don't think he would have gotten him anyway.
12:37
Speaker 1: But that's about the only way that Ty Friends even
12:39
Speaker 1: going to get an infield single. So that was garbage.
12:43
Speaker 1: And so that's two fluky hits you had in the inning,
12:46
Speaker 1: and that kind of started the downward spiral. And then
12:52
Speaker 1: obviously you got clean singles from Campusano and Loreano. But
12:56
Speaker 1: even when you brought Ferair in, I mean, Jackson Merrill
12:59
Speaker 1: was late on both of those swings. On the fastball,
13:02
Speaker 1: I thought he was set up for a slider. I
13:04
Speaker 1: realized that's not Forrere's best pitch. But I thought Merrill realized,
13:09
Speaker 1: I can't get around on this guy. So I got
13:12
Speaker 1: to speed up my bat. I thought it would have
13:13
Speaker 1: been a perfect time for a slider loan away, and
13:17
Speaker 1: instead they went with another fastball. He did speed up
13:20
Speaker 1: his bat, he got around just enough to kick up
13:25
Speaker 1: chalk down the left field line, and that's your game winner.
13:28
Speaker 1: I mean, that's three pretty fluky hits right there that
13:31
Speaker 1: you lost on. And so again, order the taser. Use
13:37
Speaker 1: it on me if I do this frequently, and I'm
13:39
Speaker 1: not even using it today as an excuse. But there
13:42
Speaker 1: was more that went into Munno's blowing that than he
13:46
Speaker 1: just stunk last night. He didn't catch any breaks last
13:49
Speaker 1: night either, because typically ty Frantz is not going to
13:53
Speaker 1: get an infield single and Gavin Sheets isn't going and
13:56
Speaker 1: you're not going to have two hits in the same
13:59
Speaker 1: inning that barely are fair down the left field line
14:03
Speaker 1: when both hitters were beat on that pitch, and yet
14:06
Speaker 1: that happened. So there was a little bad luck involved
14:09
Speaker 1: last night as well. I think it's a my long
14:11
Speaker 1: way of saying, I think we can give Andres Munos
14:14
Speaker 1: a break for blowing even a four run save last night,
14:19
Speaker 1: because he's been so good in the past, and I
14:21
Speaker 1: didn't see some dipping velocity last night. That explained why
14:25
Speaker 1: he was terrible. He couldn't find a slider last night.
14:28
Speaker 1: He didn't catch a single break last night, and then
14:31
Speaker 1: he ran out of gas and had to be replaced,
14:33
Speaker 1: and I thought, rightfully so by Dan Wilson. So to me,
14:37
Speaker 1: that's why you lost the game. It stinks. I hate it.
14:40
Speaker 1: You know, it's a six nothing lead that you blew
14:44
Speaker 1: last night. It's not the end of the world, and
14:46
Speaker 1: you have time to recover.
14:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, that tyfran Shid is going to stick in my
14:50
Speaker 2: mind for quite a while, just that whole play and
14:52
Speaker 2: how that was the one that I thought, Okay, that
14:55
Speaker 2: that's luck for the Padres, bad luck for us. But
14:57
Speaker 2: that's really the only one that I was bothered by
14:59
Speaker 2: in terms of that. I just it was it's just
15:02
Speaker 2: a frustrating situation he'd and I think it would be
15:05
Speaker 2: different too if he'd had it in all the games
15:08
Speaker 2: we've seen him in so far, and then this was
15:11
Speaker 2: just the outlier of oh gosh, he's off right now,
15:15
Speaker 2: and and it was just that, but it isn't. He
15:17
Speaker 2: has been off, and so it is just a compounded
15:20
Speaker 2: frustration for him to be off to start this season
15:25
Speaker 2: and then have it.
15:26
Speaker 3: Come out in that way and that kind of a
15:27
Speaker 3: blown lead.
15:28
Speaker 1: Well, it does happen. Happens of the greatest closers of
15:31
Speaker 1: all time. It happened to Mariano Rivera occasionally. He's not
15:35
Speaker 1: on his game right now. But even with that, I mean,
15:38
Speaker 1: he's pitched in seven games this year. He's only allowed
15:40
Speaker 1: to run in two of those seven. And yes, he's
15:44
Speaker 1: allowing about two base runners per inning, which is not
15:48
Speaker 1: good enough. Most of that has been control issues. He's
15:51
Speaker 1: walked five guys in his last three appearances. He's not
15:55
Speaker 1: on He is not his typical excellent self. But I'm sir,
16:00
Speaker 1: they not abandoning him now. Out there should not abandon
16:03
Speaker 1: Andre's munyos and they're really relying on when they built
16:08
Speaker 1: this team, they were relying on having one of the
16:10
Speaker 1: best closers in the game. I think he's going to
16:14
Speaker 1: be fine. Probably does need to be a little little
16:16
Speaker 1: bit of an adjustment made. He can't be getting behind
16:19
Speaker 1: hitters the first hitter that he faces. That seems to
16:22
Speaker 1: be the biggest issue with him is that he's getting
16:24
Speaker 1: behind the very first hitter that he faces every time
16:27
Speaker 1: he takes the mound. Pete Woodworth will work with him,
16:30
Speaker 1: He'll take a deep breath. He's got Matilda the cat
16:33
Speaker 1: there to talk him out of any dark spots that
16:36
Speaker 1: he might have. And he understands it. He gets the game.
16:39
Speaker 1: He knows you gotta flush it. And I think he's
16:42
Speaker 1: going to be fine, And we all need to want
16:44
Speaker 1: him to be fine. Don't need to be chasing him
16:46
Speaker 1: out of the role or putting him on the il
16:49
Speaker 1: until he can figure it out. He had a bad
16:51
Speaker 1: game last night. It stinks that we lost it. We
16:54
Speaker 1: can blame it entirely on him, and he's got broad shoulders,
16:57
Speaker 1: he'll take it.
16:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he again is blaming it on himself. He
17:00
Speaker 2: didn't walk into the locker room and been like, well,
17:01
Speaker 2: if you guys would have done that, or if this
17:02
Speaker 2: would have happened, we wouldn't have lost that. No, he
17:04
Speaker 2: didn't do his job and he knows that. And I
17:06
Speaker 2: think it is magnified that the fact that the two
17:09
Speaker 2: games that he gave up runs were two games we
17:11
Speaker 2: lost because one was an extra innings and one was.
17:15
Speaker 3: Last night, So that magnifies the situation.
17:18
Speaker 2: And then you look at how dominant he was in
17:21
Speaker 2: the first three quarters of the season, last year first
17:24
Speaker 2: half especially, I mean, he was incredible, and so to
17:28
Speaker 2: have that it's similar to the Cal situation, right you
17:30
Speaker 2: have this unbelievable season from Cal and now he's slow
17:33
Speaker 2: to start, and so everything's magnified because of how good
17:36
Speaker 2: he was at this time last year versus what we're
17:38
Speaker 2: seeing right now. I don't think it's a permanent thing.
17:40
Speaker 2: I think he's going to figure it out, but yeah,
17:42
Speaker 2: it was frustrating last night.
17:44
Speaker 1: I have some Dan Wilson issues. Everybody knows that from
17:47
Speaker 1: last season. I don't know if he's off to a
17:49
Speaker 1: great start this year, but I'm not putting anything on
17:52
Speaker 1: any of this really on Dan. I thought Emerson Hancock
17:57
Speaker 1: was tired in the sixth when he gave up his
17:59
Speaker 1: two runs, but it's hard to know that when he
18:03
Speaker 1: heads back out to the mound and you had a
18:05
Speaker 1: six run cushion at that point, and so he gives
18:08
Speaker 1: up a couple of runs in that inning and he
18:12
Speaker 1: ended up staying again. You're up force, You're gonna try
18:15
Speaker 1: to steal a couple of outs. But a lot of
18:17
Speaker 1: people putting this on the entire bullpen and putting it
18:19
Speaker 1: on Dan Wilson. I thought he was right to go
18:22
Speaker 1: to Bizardo in the seventh, to go to Spire in
18:25
Speaker 1: the eighth, and I think he was right to go
18:26
Speaker 1: to Munos in the ninth, even though it wasn't a
18:28
Speaker 1: safe situation. That's on the player. If the player can't
18:32
Speaker 1: focus because there's not a stat on the line as
18:35
Speaker 1: well as he does in a one or two run game,
18:38
Speaker 1: then that's on the player. To me, I thought it
18:41
Speaker 1: was actually a good sign from Dan. I don't have
18:44
Speaker 1: to wait till a save situation. It had been four
18:47
Speaker 1: days since he pitched. For goodness sake, I don't have
18:49
Speaker 1: to wait till a save situation. We really want this game.
18:52
Speaker 1: It's not like we're blowing them out. Let's get our
18:55
Speaker 1: best in there and let's just have him close this
18:58
Speaker 1: thing out and let's go win the series. To so,
19:00
Speaker 1: I thought it was actually an encouraging sign from Dan
19:03
Speaker 1: that he went the way that he used his bullpen
19:06
Speaker 1: last night. I thought was spot on, except for maybe
19:10
Speaker 1: one thing. I may have used Brash instead of Farrer.
19:14
Speaker 1: I think they do overdo the lefty lefty thing. I
19:17
Speaker 1: don't think that Farrera is some dominant lefty versus lefty
19:22
Speaker 1: kind of pitcher. And even though the split said that
19:26
Speaker 1: Merrill doesn't hit nearly as well against left handers, if
19:31
Speaker 1: he gets on base with a walk, then you've got
19:34
Speaker 1: your left hand er face and Machado next with the
19:37
Speaker 1: basses loaded. So to me, I would have sided on
19:41
Speaker 1: Matt Brash because I trust Matt Brash more and he
19:45
Speaker 1: has come into all sorts of situations as a Mariner
19:49
Speaker 1: with traffic on the base pads, yeah, and has gotten
19:52
Speaker 1: his way out of it. So to me, in that situation,
19:55
Speaker 1: I would have sided with the guy that I trust
19:58
Speaker 1: more versus the lefty, lefty thing that Dan ended up
20:02
Speaker 1: going with. He went by the actual numbers versus going
20:06
Speaker 1: by the gut of that's my better pitcher. But to me,
20:09
Speaker 1: that's that's all. That's very close to the neighborhood of nitpicking.
20:14
Speaker 1: I don't put this one on Dan Wilson, and I
20:18
Speaker 1: don't put it really on anything else that happened last night.
20:21
Speaker 1: Maybe you could have piled on more runs. Maybe outfielders
20:24
Speaker 1: can stop taking away our homers from us. I mean,
20:27
Speaker 1: there are a lot we could have built a bigger
20:28
Speaker 1: lead in that case, Maybe we don't stop scoring after
20:31
Speaker 1: taking a six run lead. I mean there are a
20:33
Speaker 1: lot of tiny little factors. But to me, you lost.
20:37
Speaker 1: He had a really bad loss tonight, and you had
20:38
Speaker 1: a really bad loss for one reason. Your outstanding, excellent,
20:43
Speaker 1: all star closer had a crappy night, and we got
20:47
Speaker 1: to figure out why he doesn't. He isn't sharper when
20:50
Speaker 1: a stat is not on the line.
20:52
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and it is. It seems to me that
20:55
Speaker 2: it is as simple as that. I mean, you could, yes,
20:57
Speaker 2: you can always in any win or loss, say well,
20:59
Speaker 2: if only this have gone this way, or this would
21:01
Speaker 2: have gone that way. But there's one glaring thing, and
21:03
Speaker 2: it was that ninth in mean with Andres Munnos on
21:06
Speaker 2: the mound. And I don't have any problem with Dan
21:08
Speaker 2: putting him in either. And I think anyone that is saying, oh,
21:11
Speaker 2: I never would have done it, it's because it's a
21:13
Speaker 2: hindsight situation, because he blew it. Nobody was going in
21:16
Speaker 2: there saying, oh, why are you putting Munios and this
21:19
Speaker 2: is a horrible mistake.
21:21
Speaker 3: I would I doubt anyone was doing that.
21:23
Speaker 1: I would imagine a few people did it, But I
21:25
Speaker 1: don't think that that's a very logical reaction to what happened.
21:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, yes, because logic wouldn't say he's
21:32
Speaker 2: going to go out there and blow a four run lead.
21:35
Speaker 2: It's just it was not that's not likely to happen.
21:38
Speaker 3: Was he going to make it close? Or is there
21:39
Speaker 3: a chance he was gonna make it close?
21:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens when he goes in in these non
21:43
Speaker 2: saved situations, we do get a little stressed out.
21:45
Speaker 3: I didn't think he was going to fully blow it.
21:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it stinks as a bad loss. Yeh, last night,
21:50
Speaker 1: there's no getting around it. Instead of going for a
21:53
Speaker 1: series win, you're trying to avoid the sweep this evening
21:57
Speaker 1: against the Padres. And as I mentioned in ABC's earlier
22:00
Speaker 1: I need Killer Castillo to show up tonight. I need
22:03
Speaker 1: that guy, the guy that rises to the occasion. I
22:05
Speaker 1: need it. I need it because I need to see
22:08
Speaker 1: it selfishly the team. We don't want to give back
22:12
Speaker 1: everything you just took from the Houston Astros over the weekend,
22:15
Speaker 1: or nearly everything back. And then I think he personally
22:19
Speaker 1: needs it because Emerson Hancock looks like he's the real
22:22
Speaker 1: deal right now, and at this stage I'm going after
22:26
Speaker 1: a world series. The hell with anybody's hurt feelings. If
22:30
Speaker 1: you're the clearly the worst starter, and there's and I
22:34
Speaker 1: only got room for five, and I got six guys.
22:37
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to take you out of the rotation
22:40
Speaker 1: and you have to earn your way back in it.
22:42
Speaker 1: I don't care how much money you're making. I don't
22:44
Speaker 1: care how old you are, I don't care how much
22:45
Speaker 1: you're respected. I'm going with the best guys. As I'm
22:48
Speaker 1: winning a world series this year, Let's do it. I'm
22:50
Speaker 1: not here playing patty Cake, all right. Coming up next
22:53
Speaker 1: stocking stuffers on Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
22:56
Speaker 3: Oh have you good for you?
22:58
Speaker 1: So you know that I'm following my own and a half.
23:01
Speaker 1: I don't have my smoker's jacket on right now because
23:03
Speaker 1: we're not on the YouTube thing.
23:04
Speaker 3: But I do like that you have your pipe. People
23:07
Speaker 3: can hear the pipe.
23:08
Speaker 1: I like the pipe. I think it's a good prop
23:11
Speaker 1: for the bit. It's time for stocking stuffers. If you're
23:14
Speaker 1: doing draft rumors, they've been that's how you count sheep
23:17
Speaker 1: at night so that you can sleep more and handle
23:20
Speaker 1: these seven sleepless nights. Here better leading up the draft
23:25
Speaker 1: day than so be it. Let's get to your rumors today,
23:28
Speaker 1: and they are picking up. They are absolutely picking up.
23:30
Speaker 1: I mean, I got more than I have time to
23:32
Speaker 1: go through. Let's start with the number two pick, and
23:36
Speaker 1: according to reports today I think this was CBS. I
23:40
Speaker 1: meant to write that down, the Jets really are down
23:43
Speaker 1: to Rvel Reese or David Bailey at that number two spot.
23:48
Speaker 1: Either they still haven't decided or they haven't tipped their hand,
23:51
Speaker 1: but it looks like they are going to take a
23:54
Speaker 1: defensive player at number two. So I like this. Again,
23:57
Speaker 1: we talked about this a little bit in the last hour.
23:59
Speaker 1: I kind of like all this mystery. I like that
24:01
Speaker 1: we don't know anything beyond Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders
24:05
Speaker 1: at number one, and maybe we do have an idea
24:08
Speaker 1: what the Jets are going to do at number two.
24:11
Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody has any real indication as
24:13
Speaker 1: to which of the two they prefer, because I keep
24:16
Speaker 1: seeing mock drafts that are pretty much alternating the two.
24:19
Speaker 2: Well, and that's helpful for our mock draft when we
24:22
Speaker 2: mock draft the draft, because the less things that are known,
24:25
Speaker 2: the less things that we have to take off the table.
24:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is really nice.
24:29
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of faulty winners of our green
24:31
Speaker 1: Jacket draft draft. Yeah, and so maybe this year it'll
24:36
Speaker 1: be more reputable. The number three pick seems to be
24:39
Speaker 1: where you know, number two. That's great. There's a little
24:41
Speaker 1: bit of mystery there. Maybe there's a coin toss decision.
24:45
Speaker 1: Number three is where people are everywhere just circling like
24:49
Speaker 1: this is where it's going to start getting crazy. And
24:51
Speaker 1: a lot of people believe it is going to start
24:52
Speaker 1: getting It's going to be crazy next Thursday in terms
24:55
Speaker 1: of all the wheeling dealing that's going to take place.
24:58
Speaker 1: But I just keep hearing more, more and more reports
25:01
Speaker 1: that Arizona is going to trade out of that number
25:03
Speaker 1: three spot. They're clearly more than one player away. They
25:06
Speaker 1: are in a rebuild at this point. The Kyler Murray
25:09
Speaker 1: post Little Sweet era has begun there in the desert,
25:14
Speaker 1: and so they may want to move down, And so
25:18
Speaker 1: is the move up to three. This is the latest
25:21
Speaker 1: rumor is they'll move up to three. About the other
25:24
Speaker 1: edge rusher that the Jets don't take, I don't think
25:28
Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like. I'm gonna lean on the
25:31
Speaker 1: stocking stuff or that I made myself. It was handmade, homemade,
25:36
Speaker 1: I made it out of scraps.
25:37
Speaker 3: I found in the den you are so talented, and.
25:39
Speaker 1: That is that Jeremiah Love's gonna end up being the
25:42
Speaker 1: number three pick in this draft because the two teams
25:44
Speaker 1: that are talking about getting up there are New Orleans
25:47
Speaker 1: and Washington right now in the last twenty four hour
25:50
Speaker 1: news cycle. New Orleans hasn't really been a big draft
25:53
Speaker 1: player lately because they've been so cap strapped and they've
25:56
Speaker 1: been so draft pick strapped here in the last few years.
26:00
Speaker 1: They might be looking to make a splash. Feels like
26:03
Speaker 1: the Alvin Kamara era is over and they just might
26:07
Speaker 1: go up and get him. And I think Jaden Daniels
26:09
Speaker 1: I think the best thing for Jade and Daniel's career.
26:12
Speaker 1: That first year looked like they were gonna make him
26:14
Speaker 1: a throw at fifty times per game kind of quarterback.
26:17
Speaker 1: I don't think he can take that kind of abuse.
26:19
Speaker 3: Doesn't seem like it.
26:20
Speaker 1: If Washington could introduce and by the way, I love
26:23
Speaker 1: the new unis, If Washington can introduce a run first
26:28
Speaker 1: system and have Daniels playoff of that both as a
26:31
Speaker 1: runner and as a thrower, I think that's best case scenario.
26:36
Speaker 1: If I'm Washington, I am really interested in adding the
26:39
Speaker 1: next Adrian Peterson to my team with Jaden Daniels and
26:43
Speaker 1: now defenses don't know what the hell's coming at though.
26:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, just left and right punches thrown.
26:50
Speaker 1: Our next stocking stuff or what else we got over
26:53
Speaker 1: here in the hole?
26:54
Speaker 3: Gone in there?
26:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, let me get to the bottom down here
26:56
Speaker 1: and never runs far enough the r.
26:58
Speaker 2: That's where the usually the best is. That's where Santa
27:01
Speaker 2: puts it at least.
27:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, Liver, looks like I got dropped, won't interesting? AJ Brown?
27:09
Speaker 1: We're not getting too far away from AJ Brown trade rumors.
27:13
Speaker 1: There is something to know, and I'm sure a lot
27:16
Speaker 1: of you already do know this, that there is this
27:18
Speaker 1: June first deadline. So it hurts the Eagles twenty twenty
27:22
Speaker 1: sixth salary cap to deal Brown before June first. But
27:26
Speaker 1: obviously if you're going to if you are going to
27:30
Speaker 1: trade away AJ Brown, you probably do want draft picks,
27:35
Speaker 1: like right now, do you really if you're the Philadelphia
27:37
Speaker 1: Eagles and you feel you're in a championship window, want
27:39
Speaker 1: to kick the can down the road. You're gonna give
27:42
Speaker 1: up a wide receiver one and then not have immediate
27:46
Speaker 1: compensation there for you so you can either wait for
27:49
Speaker 1: the June first deadline and help your cap out, or
27:51
Speaker 1: you can trade them before the draft and then you
27:55
Speaker 1: can get rid of his salary and then add the
28:01
Speaker 1: draft pieces to help make up for having lost him.
28:06
Speaker 1: Long way of saying, this, dude's getting traded, and it
28:09
Speaker 1: may be after June first, maybe it won't happen at
28:12
Speaker 1: the draft. But AJ Brown, there's no way the Philadelphia
28:16
Speaker 1: Eagles can do this again.
28:18
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't think so.
28:19
Speaker 2: I mean that you can't have the drama that tears
28:21
Speaker 2: your part and then you're not doing the things you're
28:22
Speaker 2: supposed to do on the field.
28:23
Speaker 1: Win has a wide receiver quarterback rift ever corrected.
28:29
Speaker 2: Itself, and it seems like both at least it seems
28:32
Speaker 2: like AJ Brown is dug in on this one.
28:35
Speaker 1: Maybe I haven't given enough thought. Maybe there's a long
28:38
Speaker 1: list of quarterbacks and wide receivers who for two years
28:42
Speaker 1: have not gotten along, who for two years have been
28:45
Speaker 1: clubhouse lawyering and trying to get teammates on their side.
28:50
Speaker 1: Two years this has been going on. You're not moving away,
28:54
Speaker 1: that's clear from your Super Bowl winning quarterback, and so
28:59
Speaker 1: there's no way for a third year you're going to
29:01
Speaker 1: bring both of these guys back, and AJ Brown's the
29:04
Speaker 1: logical guy to leave. You've already drafted Davante Smith high
29:09
Speaker 1: and probably not to be a wide receiver two when
29:11
Speaker 1: you drafted him, and then all of a sudden, you
29:13
Speaker 1: have AJ Brown and you have the luxury of having
29:16
Speaker 1: him there. You are paying him big money. It's time
29:19
Speaker 1: to let DeVante Smith prove if he can be a
29:22
Speaker 1: wide receiver one and then get another draft pick, use
29:25
Speaker 1: your first rounder on a wide receiver. It's a good
29:27
Speaker 1: wide receiver class that replaces AJ Brown. Team goes back
29:31
Speaker 1: to being Jalen Hurts for better or worse, and if
29:34
Speaker 1: he ends up with a rift with another of his receivers,
29:38
Speaker 1: then you know you've got You definitely have a Jalen
29:40
Speaker 1: Hurts problem. I mean, it feels to me like you
29:43
Speaker 1: have more of a Jalen Hurts problem than an AJ Brown.
29:46
Speaker 3: That's what it seems like.
29:47
Speaker 1: That's what the rumblings seem to be. But we haven't
29:50
Speaker 1: heard any Jalen Hurts trade rumors. So you know you're
29:54
Speaker 1: moving on from AJ Brown. The only reason you're saying
29:56
Speaker 1: you're not is because you're trying to protect his trade value.
29:59
Speaker 1: But I don't there's any chance the Eagles can come
30:02
Speaker 1: back with AJ Brown.
30:03
Speaker 2: I would think not, And especially AJ Brown's been the
30:06
Speaker 2: one that's been more vocal about it, right, Jalen Hurts
30:08
Speaker 2: isn't out there saying he's got problems with anybody or
30:10
Speaker 2: reading books on the sideline.
30:12
Speaker 3: He's keeping it more in house.
30:14
Speaker 2: So at that point, yeah, you have to you have
30:16
Speaker 2: to get rid of the one that's being more vocal
30:17
Speaker 2: about it and kind of putting the team in a
30:19
Speaker 2: bad light.
30:19
Speaker 1: Well, you probably got to get rid of the one
30:21
Speaker 1: that's not a quarterback. Well on that too, Yeah, that's
30:24
Speaker 1: probably what you have to do. It's not like AJ
30:25
Speaker 1: Brown's been a prince about the whole thing. Maybe maybe
30:29
Speaker 1: he's got a point, maybe he's got some great point. Absolutely,
30:32
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he wins a debate in front of
30:34
Speaker 1: a national television audience versus Jalen Hurts, but it's not
30:38
Speaker 1: like he's handled it well.
30:39
Speaker 3: No.
30:40
Speaker 1: So to me, this is an obvious conclusion, and I
30:44
Speaker 1: think we'll get there eventually. Whether that happens pre draft
30:47
Speaker 1: or after June one that I don't know. Aaron Rodgers,
30:51
Speaker 1: they're still waiting in Pittsburgh again for whether or not
30:56
Speaker 1: he wants to play. I don't think that that affects
31:00
Speaker 1: your draft strategy. To me, I don't think you're saying
31:06
Speaker 1: I need an answer right now because we might draft
31:08
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson. That doesn't sound like the situation here. Sounds
31:12
Speaker 1: to me like the situation is the Pittsburgh Steelers really
31:15
Speaker 1: do like last year's what fifth rounder, Will Howard, the
31:18
Speaker 1: former Buckeye National champion. They really do like him. They
31:21
Speaker 1: just don't know if he's ready. And the Steelers don't
31:24
Speaker 1: ever rebuild. They want to try to win as many
31:27
Speaker 1: games as they can every single years. Yeah, at least nine,
31:31
Speaker 1: at least eight, no more than nine. Yeah, but it
31:35
Speaker 1: looks like they do have their solution of who they
31:38
Speaker 1: want for the future. My guess is they like Will
31:40
Speaker 1: Howard better than anybody that they could get in the draft.
31:43
Speaker 1: To me, I don't think your draft's affected by Aaron Rodgers'
31:47
Speaker 1: decision at all. For those that are trying to put
31:50
Speaker 1: that kind of pressure on the organization, they have Mason
31:53
Speaker 1: Rudolph there who they also like. I don't know why,
31:55
Speaker 1: I don't know what, but they clearly like him.
31:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's still there.
31:59
Speaker 1: And he's a veteran. I mean to me, this is
32:02
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers doesn't play, do we kick the tires
32:04
Speaker 1: on a Garoppolo or do we kick the tires on
32:07
Speaker 1: a Derek Carr? To me, this is about kicking the
32:09
Speaker 1: tires on another veteran. Yeah, I would think so who
32:12
Speaker 1: might be an upgrade over Rudolph until Will Howard is
32:16
Speaker 1: ready more so than it is. We need an answer Rogers,
32:20
Speaker 1: because it's gonna do because I don't think bringing back
32:23
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, if you like Ty Simpson, should get in
32:26
Speaker 1: the way of you taking Ty Simpson at twenty one.
32:28
Speaker 1: So to me, it's an awful lot to do about nothing.
32:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like it.
32:33
Speaker 2: But it also is annoying that Rogers isn't making them
32:36
Speaker 2: wait again.
32:37
Speaker 1: Well, that's just annoying in general.
32:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just annoyed. Yeah, just for that just bothers me.
32:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. And finally, I mean for those Seahawk fans out
32:46
Speaker 1: there that might be holding out hope that Devin h
32:48
Speaker 1: Chan trade is gonna happen before the draft. Dolphins again yesterday,
32:54
Speaker 1: This isn't even a rumor. They came out publicly. He's
32:56
Speaker 1: not available. I don't know why if you're rebuilding that
32:59
Speaker 1: you're building around one hundred and ninety pounds tailback that
33:02
Speaker 1: you like to run between the tackles. I don't know why,
33:05
Speaker 1: but that's the Dolphins. They're dumb, but apparently he's not available.
33:09
Speaker 1: I'd love for him to be on the Seahawks as well.
33:11
Speaker 1: I think he could do some magical things in this
33:14
Speaker 1: offense with this roster. But the Dolphins are being awfully
33:19
Speaker 1: stingy when it comes to him, and they've been awfully
33:22
Speaker 1: vocal about like, no, no, he is not available. There
33:25
Speaker 1: is no smoke here. It is all clear here in Miami.
33:31
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like he is going to be available, all right?
33:33
Speaker 1: Coming up next four nine four five one is the
33:36
Speaker 1: text line. We've been doing this every week. Ashley and
33:39
Speaker 1: I have already had conversations about expanding this to something more.
33:43
Speaker 1: But it's time for SUP. Your opportunity to ask Ashley
33:46
Speaker 1: or I a question at four nine four five one.
33:49
Speaker 1: Start your question with SUP. Otherwise there's no other rule.
33:54
Speaker 1: I think we like it when you direct it at
33:56
Speaker 1: one of us, specifically, so Sup, Ashley, and then go
34:01
Speaker 1: wherever you want personal, professional, whatever you want to do.
34:04
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, We're going to try our best
34:06
Speaker 1: to answer all of your questions honestly and with integrity.
34:09
Speaker 3: That's right.
34:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't the Rassini Show. Sports Radio ninety three
34:14
Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. Very nice of you to say I
34:18
Speaker 1: did give it a shot one time. I did it.
34:22
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people know this, even though I
34:23
Speaker 1: mentioned it a lot. My father was a Willie Nelson impersonator.
34:27
Speaker 3: Oh that's right.
34:28
Speaker 1: After his days as a he was just a heavy
34:32
Speaker 1: equipment operator at the power plant, and then he had
34:35
Speaker 1: a midlife crisis after his divorce from my mother and
34:39
Speaker 1: started singing karaoke and people made the mistake of telling
34:42
Speaker 1: him he was a good singer, and then he turned
34:44
Speaker 1: that into a second career. So he became a Willie
34:47
Speaker 1: Nelson impersonator, And that is a true story. And he
34:50
Speaker 1: actually went as far as he would put on shows,
34:54
Speaker 1: and he even had his own theater at one point,
34:57
Speaker 1: but long before that, he would just put and need
35:00
Speaker 1: celtickets and people would come and he would get other
35:02
Speaker 1: bands to play. And so I did stand up comedy
35:06
Speaker 1: for one of his shows as his host. It was
35:08
Speaker 1: my farewell gift to him because I was getting ready
35:10
Speaker 1: to move to Vegas. Yeah, so I did it for him,
35:13
Speaker 1: and I thought it was a really good set. But
35:16
Speaker 1: I did what I but what I incorporated were a
35:19
Speaker 1: lot of jokes about my grandparents, his parents and how
35:23
Speaker 1: cheap they were, Oh no, you before and they had.
35:28
Speaker 1: Turns out a lot of their friends were in the
35:31
Speaker 1: audience and they were very angry. So it didn't go
35:34
Speaker 1: over too well. But I appreciate that I gave it thought.
35:38
Speaker 1: At one point, I don't know if I could just
35:40
Speaker 1: do the same set over and over and just keep
35:43
Speaker 1: tweaking it and find entertainment in that and enjoyment in that.
35:46
Speaker 1: But that is very nice of you to say. I
35:48
Speaker 1: don't think I warrant quite that, but I did give
35:51
Speaker 1: it a thought. At one point I kicked it around.
35:54
Speaker 2: All right, all right, here's another one for you, sup, Chuck.
35:56
Speaker 2: Would you rather have, oh this is from the four
35:58
Speaker 2: two five? Would you rather have to put on roller
36:00
Speaker 2: blades every time you leave the house or have to
36:02
Speaker 2: wear socks while you shower?
36:08
Speaker 1: It's definitely socks while I shower.
36:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no question I would feel weird. But oh yeah,
36:13
Speaker 3: rollerblades every time?
36:15
Speaker 1: Do you know my roller blades story? I'm assuming I
36:17
Speaker 1: told this on the air and that's why this person
36:19
Speaker 1: is asked, Oh, I don't know.
36:20
Speaker 3: I don't know your rollerblades.
36:21
Speaker 1: I was living in Vegas and I was trying to
36:23
Speaker 1: get into shape, and I just didn't like the idea
36:26
Speaker 1: of running because when you were in high school, you know,
36:30
Speaker 1: that was punishment. So I'm like, I'm not going to
36:32
Speaker 1: try to but I had to get cardio. I was
36:34
Speaker 1: lifting weights at the time, but I had to come
36:36
Speaker 1: up with some sort of cardio plan. So I'm like,
36:38
Speaker 1: you know what roller skating or roller blading, But I
36:41
Speaker 1: had never roller skated before. Oh gosh, So I didn't
36:44
Speaker 1: even know if I could keep balance. And I'm like
36:46
Speaker 1: a twenty five year old at this point in my life.
36:48
Speaker 1: So I went out and I bought some roller blades.
36:51
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I can't go to work with like
36:53
Speaker 1: bruises and bandages because I don't know how to do this.
36:56
Speaker 1: So I would wait till midnight and I would try
36:59
Speaker 1: to prack this of my roller blades in the law
37:02
Speaker 1: on the lawn. Oh God, on the lawn. If I
37:05
Speaker 1: fell over, it wouldn't hurt as much. Man, it didn't work.
37:09
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not surprised by that.
37:13
Speaker 1: Turns out you can't learn to roller blade on grass
37:16
Speaker 1: and soil.
37:17
Speaker 3: No, you can't. You do need a solid surface.
37:21
Speaker 1: I thought that's why he was asking, So what that
37:23
Speaker 1: is the background. I'm definitely choosing socks in the show.
37:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is. I mean, if he did know that
37:28
Speaker 3: and that's why he was asking, even more power to him.
37:30
Speaker 3: I mean, that's incredible.
37:31
Speaker 2: From the two five to three, Sup Ashley, if you
37:33
Speaker 2: could only pick one, would you take a repeat Super
37:36
Speaker 2: Bowl win or a World Series appearance by the Mariners?
37:40
Speaker 2: World Series appearance by the Mariners? Hands down?
37:42
Speaker 1: Yeah?
37:43
Speaker 3: It's time, it is time.
37:44
Speaker 1: It's pastime, past time.
37:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's see step Chuck from the two
37:51
Speaker 2: oh six? What's up with baseball fans letting their own
37:53
Speaker 2: manufactured expectations ruin the enjoyment of a baseball season? Losses
37:58
Speaker 2: like last night are a part of what makes baseball
38:00
Speaker 2: great and all sports enjoyable. They expect all seasons to
38:03
Speaker 2: be like two thousand and one, and that will never
38:05
Speaker 2: happen again.
38:05
Speaker 1: Yea. You know they say that you're gonna lose forty games,
38:08
Speaker 1: you're gonna win forty games. I guess there's been an
38:11
Speaker 1: exception or two to that, but that's kind of what
38:14
Speaker 1: they say, you're on win for it, and it's what
38:16
Speaker 1: you do in the other eighty two that defines, you know,
38:21
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's absolutely true, but that's sort
38:23
Speaker 1: of the mindset that baseball people operate with. Yeah. I
38:28
Speaker 1: would add to that, I'd say, you're gonna have ten
38:31
Speaker 1: games that are just terrible losses, and you're gonna have
38:34
Speaker 1: ten games you had no business winning. Yeah, as well,
38:37
Speaker 1: and you just hope that they average out. I mean, again,
38:40
Speaker 1: this is why they play one hundred and sixty two.
38:43
Speaker 1: I know that there are a lot of people that
38:44
Speaker 1: can't stand the it's early guy. I'm in its early guy,
38:49
Speaker 1: just like every person that's ever been employed by Major
38:51
Speaker 1: League Baseball is and it's early guy. So I'm in
38:55
Speaker 1: it's early guy. I don't get too ramped up over
38:58
Speaker 1: one that was terrible loss. Yeah, it's a terrible loss
39:01
Speaker 1: last night. But I have a feeling we're gonna get
39:03
Speaker 1: a really lucky win down the road as well that
39:05
Speaker 1: will average that out.
39:07
Speaker 3: That's fair. Yeah, I like that.
39:09
Speaker 2: Okay, this one, Ashley sup it's fine that it's backwards
39:13
Speaker 2: two six asking will you be traveling to winachi for
39:16
Speaker 2: the Apple Blossom Girls softball tournament this weekend.
39:18
Speaker 1: I will not.
39:19
Speaker 3: I will be in Snowhomish. What Yeah, why.
39:21
Speaker 1: Are you going to watch the tournament and from Snowhomish.
39:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to be in Snohomish for a different tournament.
39:27
Speaker 2: And we have a lot of really good luck on
39:30
Speaker 2: our team, like we get scheduled for tournaments that when
39:33
Speaker 2: we have to make the drive, there's gonna be a
39:34
Speaker 2: major road closure, Like we were in North Bend when
39:37
Speaker 2: four or five was closed, so we had to go
39:39
Speaker 2: from Mill Creek to North Bend and you know, four
39:42
Speaker 2: or five is a pretty major route for us. And
39:44
Speaker 2: this week State Route nine will be closed and we
39:46
Speaker 2: have to go to Snowhomish, So you know that's I
39:50
Speaker 2: would I rather be in Winachi? Probably not, not this weekend.
39:53
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do.
39:54
Speaker 2: I'm I've got Winachi, I've got Shahelis, I've got Lacey.
39:58
Speaker 2: Three of those in the next month, so we're home
40:01
Speaker 2: at least this weekend.
40:02
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so you're basically the road Closure Invitational is
40:06
Speaker 1: where it's what you participate in.
40:08
Speaker 3: Really what it seems like on a weekly basis, that's
40:11
Speaker 3: what it seems like.
40:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, okay, I'm a little confused. Well, why would
40:15
Speaker 1: they think you.
40:16
Speaker 2: Were in Well, because they know that Palmer plays softball,
40:18
Speaker 2: so and there's probably elevate teams that are going to
40:21
Speaker 2: be there.
40:21
Speaker 3: We're elevate, Yeah, but our elevate team will not be there.
40:24
Speaker 1: You'll be in snows no Homish. Oh yeah, you gotta
40:26
Speaker 1: go to snow Homish anyway, I would even if if
40:28
Speaker 1: Palmer was playing in WINATCHI I'd go to Snowhomish.
40:31
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, I would too. It's a shorter drive.
40:34
Speaker 1: Try to find me a house when you're there.
40:36
Speaker 3: I will. I'll look. Yeah, why not? We got some.
40:38
Speaker 1: Times we catches your eye. Let me know, we got.
40:40
Speaker 3: Some time between games.
40:41
Speaker 2: One last thing from Jeremy, by the way, Soup Chuck,
40:43
Speaker 2: how did they get holes in cheerios without breaking them?
40:45
Speaker 2: Great question, Jeremy.
40:49
Speaker 1: Uh oh, that's that's very easy.
40:52
Speaker 3: Just a little yeah jabber. Yeah, he's the jabber.
40:56
Speaker 2: No.
40:56
Speaker 1: They just they formed them around really tiny people.
41:00
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and inner tubes.
41:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they slip out.
41:04
Speaker 3: That makes sense.
41:05
Speaker 1: Yep, yes, it does, It makes total sense. All right.
41:08
Speaker 1: Coming up next, it is a Santa's backsack that we
41:12
Speaker 1: need to open, and it is full of goodies. Seven
