• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Experts are saying this is a formality today. Looks like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to get done, but I get that people
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: are a little defensive about assuming that it's done. A
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: done deal, so we shall see big news that we
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: will be monitoring closely here at KJR. NCAA tournament's going

• 2:13
  Speaker 1: point three KJARFM. Mariners spring training games ended yesterday in Peoria.

  Speaker 1: I have a feeling after weeks of one hundred degree temperatures,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: they'll be excited to get to the Marine Layer. How
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: good is the marine Layer? Got fellas? How's it feel?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Oh?

  Speaker 1: Refreshing, refreshing. Opening day is just two days away. Thursday,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Mariners will take on the Cleveland Guardians out at T Mobile.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And of course we had football news yesterday. Jake Bobo
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: had his offer from the Jacksonville Jaguars matched by the Seahawks,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so he's staying here in Seattle and Jackson Smith and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Jigbas signed a contract extension that will at one point
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: make him the highest paid wide receiver in the National
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Football League. And who better to discuss these two deals
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: than our QB one, our top anal us joining us
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: now on the radio program is good morning, sir, Good morning.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Great to be with you, Great to be with you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as well. Look out perky you sound at seven?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Are? Yeah? Well you know what? Uh?
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Wide receivers are a quarterback's best friend. Uh that in
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: left tackle. So you also, uh, if you could only
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: have one, oh man, a great left tackle or a
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: great wide receiver.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Probably a great wide receiver. Wow. Yeah, you're tough, yeah yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: exactly and nimble.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: And if you assuming your average or better on the
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: left tackle, Yeah, it's the right tackle that gets undervalue
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: because you know if the uh, if the left tackle
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: is as poor, you know you can they'll put you
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: in the hospital. The right tackle is poor, it'll put
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: you on the bench because because as a right ended quarterback,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: when that right tackle is in your face all the time,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: it's my god, I have a little space.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: You know that he's probably thinking, well, can you create
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: your own space just once in your life? So anyway,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the street goes both ways.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, let's talk some jay, I said. I mean, he
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: got the contract that on paper makes him the highest
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: paid receiver in the National Football League. Simple question. He
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: worth that?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I think he is?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I think in part boy, I didn't think of using
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: this analogy on the radio, but I was thinking about
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: yesterday when when I finally proposed to my Well, I've
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: been with her a little over two years. I've only
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: been married once, and.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Just past the two year mark.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I thought to myself, I really never want to imagine
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: breaking up with her or not having her. And I said, well,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: that must mean I want to marry her. And so
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: next scene is I'm proposing, and you know, it's almost
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: it's kind.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Of a week a weird way to look at it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I wasn't thinking of of of how you know, how
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: great it is. It was like the thought of, uh,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: you know, it was kind of a negatively inclined line
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: of thought. Well, if we can apply that to JSN.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I don't want to imagine the Seattle scenes, Seahawks trying
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: to function without Jackson Smith and Jigba as a receiver.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I just don't.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I don't want to think about who would replace him.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I don't want I want to understand how that looks.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I think that he's earned the contract in every way
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: as a player, uh you know, in a position that is,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: you know, just right with with divas. He's an anti diva.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, just go back look at the minute after
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the Minnesota game. I think he had you know, about
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: under twenty five yards or around that, and he was
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: just saying, let's say, hey, all I want to do
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: is win, you know that, and and his body language.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Not only does his words say that, his affect said that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: And so I think that the leadership, uh that you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: his youth, what what you project his his is. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: think he's still you know, I don't know if he
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: can get how he can get better, but I think
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: he can.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: So I don't want to imagine life without Jackson Smith
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: and Jigba. And that's the going rate. The salary caps
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: three hundred million. Uh he's going to be up around
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: fourteen percent of that. It's a big goal. But I
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: think you have to you have to do it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I hope JSN and John celebrated differently than you and Michelle.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, certain they did.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that, would that that would be a
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: time of progressive sign of progressive times if they did sign.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Of something, sign of something on Alps maybe.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, just recap a little bit.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: But we've talked to you, We talked to you, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: every week, a couple of times during the football season,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: and he had a lot of good games last year
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: and has in his short time in the NFL. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: yet just recap what it is that makes him, I
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: mean now the highest paid wide receiver. So he's obviously
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: one of the best. What is it that's different about
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: this guy that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Was, well, let's do it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about what he did in twenty twenty five,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and to put that into a light, let's talk about
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: what he was before.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Now he had.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: If we take big time football and we say that's
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Ohio State and that's the Seattle Seahawks. So we had
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: three years of all at Ohio State and two years
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: at the Seahawks prior to last year. Got me five years.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: In those five.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Years, he had two four hundred and eighty six snaps.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Seventy two point four percent of them were in the slot.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: He was under Ryan Grubby was at I'll just he
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: was at seventy eight percent. Shane Waldron he was sixty
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: eight percent. Brian Hartline, the offensive coordinator Ohio State. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: year before that is last year was House State, he
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: was the eighty two percent. The year before that, the
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the incredible year where they broke all the Big Ten records,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: he was eighty seven percent in the slot and uh
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: and then as a freshman of a few snaps, he
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: was forty eight percent. So again, prior to last year,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: he was seventy two percent of the snaps and under
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: under Grubby had been at seventy seven percent. Last year
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: that number fell the nineteen point one percent. He was
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: an outside receiver, and uh, you know, Chris Collinsworth in
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four season on a game on a
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Sunday night game described DK Metcalf and said, Hey, this
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: guy has the gravitational pull of a planet. Now I
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: basically watch all of Chris Collinsworth's content because he's all
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: He's either doing Sunday night football or doing playoffs, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I watch all of those. So I never missed. I
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: never heard Chris collins Worth say that, but that's what
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: he said about DK Metcalf. So that's where we were
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: a year ago. You had just lost Metcalf the planet,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: the gravitational pull of a planet, and you had a
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: receiver and in Jigba who had that those heavy numbers
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: that I said in the slot?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: What can he do outside? Well? Outside? He was over
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: eighty percent last year.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: And and then what did he do well? He was?
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Was he able to win?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: He was?
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: These are completions over fifty yards, over forty yards, over
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: thirty yards, over twenty yards. He was number one or
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: tied for number one in all of those categories. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: they put him outside and he was able to rip
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: corners asses, which three offensive coordinators in big time football,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Ryan Grabs, San Waldern, and Brian Hartline had all the
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: put two eyes on him. That's six eyeballs that had
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: been put on on JSN.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And said he's a slot guy.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And Clint Kubiak and Mike McDonald got together and they said, well,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: he can do a lot more. And and by the way,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: when you look at how guys are paid, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: if you take the take all receivers that slot what
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: we'll call slot receivers, good slot receivers. That's defined as
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: fifty percent or more of your snaps are in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: slot and two yards are more in route run. And
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I'll get to that stat in a minute. There's there's
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: three guys in the slot, Stefan Diggs, I'm and Ross
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Saint Brown and Wandell Robinson. You take all the guys
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: that are fifty percent or more outside and two yards
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: are more per per route run. I'm gonna get to
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: that stat in a second. There's twenty two outside, so
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: three versus twenty two that the league values guys that
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: can win outside. I mentioned yards per route run, And
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I'll close on Bucky's question. Yards per route run as
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: an outside receiver the year before twenty twenty four, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: year before Kubiak, Jackson, Smith and Jiggua was one point
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: nine yards per run when he was outside. That was
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: thirty seventh out of eighty nine qualifiers. Last year, out
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: of seventy eight qualifiers, he had four point one yards
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: per per route run as an outside receiver every time
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: he ran a route that counts balls that were thrown
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to him or nine, he was four point one. Well,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: what is four point one because that's a very obscure
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: stat Millon, Well, I'll put it into context. In the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: last five years, that's the second best season any wide
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: receivers had only Tyreek Hill when he had that. When
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Tua led the NFL about three years ago or two
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: three years ago, in yards, tyreek Hill had four point
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: two yards. Again, jays n last year as an outside
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: receiver four point one after having been one point nine
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the year before. So he stepped up his game outside
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: in ways that that I don't know, I couldn't have seen.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I couldn't have seen.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: If you could have seen it, good on you raise
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: your hand, you know We'll get you some ice cream,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: because that's a pretty good prediction. But but those numbers
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: are pretty staggering. The dude showed his his his versatility,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: he showed his big playability.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: He you know, in the.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Three losses Seattle had, he he averaged one hundred and
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: twenty yards all, he was all over one hundred yards.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: So he showed up when he was needed.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: And and I think, I keep saying I'm gonna close,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: but I keep getting excited about what this guy brought,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: what he did in the NFC Championship game where he
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: had let me look it up, the exact number, one
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty three yards ten catches, one hundred and
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: fifty three yards against the Rams. And honestly, god, guys,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I watch a lot of tape, and you know, I
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: watched the inner cut, I watched the sideline in the
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: end zone copy and there was and so I've seen
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: every snap of JSN as a Seattle Seahawks. There was
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: something that jumped off that tape in the first quarter
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: of the NFC Championship game. It was how he caught
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: those those the smoke route on the sideline, the r PO,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: how the one hand catch he made over by the
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: sideline like he had a baseball mid on that dude.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: There there was a.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Speed, there was a there was a juice in that
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: man in the NFC Championship game that jumped off the tape.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: He had a hell of a season Offensive Player of
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: the Year. But the the the competitiveness that he knew
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: that he and Sam darn We're gonna have to do
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: something special to stand toe to toe with with Puka
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Nakua and with Matthew Stafford. He knew it, and you
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: could see it in the first quarter how he's competing.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: And look at those numbers that he put up. So
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: uh you look, if there's any man this worth that
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: money as a wide receiver, it's Jackson Smith and Jagoba.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Here Melani is with us our QB one. We are reacting,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: of course, to yesterday's wide receiver news, the JSN news.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I do want to get a minute or two on
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Jake Bobo as well. I mean, I heard those numbers.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I thought he was as good as gone to Jacksonville,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but the Seahawks ended up matching the offer given him
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: by the Jaguars. What does that say to you about
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: how they feel about Jake Bobo.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: You well, I think probably three things. First of all,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you know, we'll just start, well, let's get the special
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: teams out of the way.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: He's been.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: He's been a very good special teams contributed. Now, there's
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: been times where when they've had breakdowns. I watched the
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: end zone copy on a kickoff and I'm like, Bobo
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: was the dude that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Was out of the lane.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: So so, uh, you know, you know, it's not like
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: he's a superstar. Who is the dude for the bills?
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Helped me out that the tasker, right, didn't he make
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: the whole tasker?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Steve taskers. So he's no tasker. But but
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: I think they like his contributions there. I think he's
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: so that's number one. Number two, I think that this
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: speaks to how they value the uh the wide receiver
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: room and what he brings. He's very likable, he does
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: things the right way. There's obviously there's no divas.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He's not.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: It doesn't contribute enough to be a diva. But but
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I really think that he's a glue guy. It thought
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: to be a glue guy. And then and then thirdly,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I think that they feel like you know that that
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: catch he had in the NFC Championship game that you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: maybe there's a little bit more meat on the bone
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: with him, and and that that he could assume a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: slightly bigger percentage of of the offense, maybe more in
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: line with this the year or two before where he
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: had a few touchdowns. And so in any event, I
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: was a little bit surprised, But but I think those
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: are the factors that they're focusing on.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: Do you see anything with you know, big contract for
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jake But even though like breaking it
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: down with the basically the added two years, it's a
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: four year extension onto the two years that he still
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: had left. It's not crazy as far as how much
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: money it is. But then they're going to spend some
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: big money on Devin Witherspoon. Do you see this as
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: possibly affecting maybe the quarterback situation here in a couple
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: of years since you kind of got a nice deal
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: right now with Sam Donald as well.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that's part of it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, now with this shit, he contracted seventeen million.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Now the Seahawks are the number one team in the
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: NFL in terms of allotment to wide receivers, so you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that as a negative. It just anytime
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: you're your first or last in any stat you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: you kind of take a little you know, scratch your
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: head a little bit and say, okay, what does this mean?
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: So they're number one, but they're only playing paying their
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: quarterback thirty three million, right, So I think he was
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: eighteenth last year. I don't know what he'll be next year,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: but he's going to be lower. You know, he could
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: be in the twenties Arnold in terms of the contract.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: So if you kind of think of the passing game
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: as a set, you know, like, Okay, our wide receivers
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: are relatively high, but our quarterback is relatively low. And
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: you know, in the case of Injigmit two, don't forget
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: he just turned twenty four in February. It's hard to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: imagine because he spent on the scene so much. You know,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: remember it was his sophomore year. He had three hundred
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: and forty seven yards and three touchdowns in the Rose Bolts,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: which is still an FBS record. It's a Rose Bowl
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: record and an FBS record, you know, I mean, you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: which which kind of dovetails to what I said about
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: the NFC Championship game. The dude's just a big, big
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: game player. But but but yeah, I think that the
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: finances are such it's manageable because of what you're paying
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Darnold for the time being.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot paid toward the receivers Cup for
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: fifteen million. Now you've added Bobo salary onto that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, meanwhile, they think they're going to spend the dollar
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: sixty nine on running backs. It sounds like, yeah, you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm just I'm sitting on my hands and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: waiting on that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I think they're gonna get a running back in the
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: either the first or second day. I'm gonna be pretty
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: damn concerned if they don't or make some acquisition. Yeah
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: so so, but you know what, let's just let it
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: play out.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: You know, color me concerned about that position until we
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: see you know, I don't until I see who gets
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: the first carry of the twenty twenty sixth season. Then
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna be quietly concerned.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Man, Hey, great stuff, Thank you very much. We appreciate
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you waking up early with us, and.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, always good to be with you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Hammerdown, all right, humelling r QB one joining us here
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: this morning, breaking it down like no one else can.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: The JSN deal, the Jake Bobo deal, we'll talk more
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: about a little bit later on in the show and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: how it does impact the future for the Seahawks. But
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: coming up next, we got another big event happening in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: about oh, I don't know, fifty five hours from now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: One person, Well, they've.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Been texting that they like buggies in mind.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Yeah, Okay, there.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: There was one.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: We're tired at one.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: We're tied at one. Okay, a lot of other suggestions.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Though, there is a lot. That's the problem is I
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: can't play them all.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just right, all right, and we'll do our best.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: We'll get our arms around all of this. We appreciate
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: all the suggestions. For those of you who don't know
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: what's happening. We have a segment after every Mariner's game
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: at six thirty every morning called Mariners Morning After. And
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: because we play the same song after every win and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: then another song after every loss, we got to make
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: sure that people won't get sick of that, and so
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: we've taken suggestions starting today and so those are some
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we're playing some of the suggestions coming out of the breaks.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: We did get a text that said, it doesn't say
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: morning or anything about winning, but when I hear the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: intro from man, I feel like a woman.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: It makes me want to kick a door off its hinges.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: One of the best texts. I think we've okay, yeah, yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Well it does.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: It is good.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You know, Shanaya has a way of getting to all
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: of us. Yes, she really does in our spirit of competition.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: That's when it starts with like, let's go girls, right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I think so yeah, good one.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah fires me up.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I kind of wish her boots were under my bed.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Well you're anyway. Uh, it is Chuck Buck and Ashley
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: with you. We are two days away from the start
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of the Major League baseball season.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Our countdown has reached the magical area of two.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Sleeps to sleep.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Just two more sleeps and baseball season it's here.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Can't wait.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to be there opening night, all the bunting,
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: all the festivities.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Man, you hung your bunting up at your house yet?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, no, I don't have bunting for my home.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: I have I mean my lights from the day that
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the Broncos got eliminated from the playoffs have changed to
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: blue and yellow. Oh Mariner's old school Mariners colors. Okay,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: because the blue and tel you can't quite tell the
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: difference on the lights around the house. Blue Yell'm positive. Yeah,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: it's very much not football. Yeah, no, no, it's a
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: yellow and green things sometimes saturdays. Yeah, one time lost
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: a bet, paid my dues and no, now it's.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: And then he kept it up because he thought it
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: was so pretty.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So that's my bunting and it's been up for months.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Oh so you do prematurely bunt.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess if you call that bunting, today's kids
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: hate bunting. Yeah, really, yeah, he is right.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: And Palmer the Great she had a great bunt in
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: her game on Sunday.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: She was so pumped. It was perfectly place. Everyone was safe.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You're lucky, and wasn't theory to criticize her?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, lose her.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: He would have gotten a swift kick to the shin
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: calm are.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: The loser more like it? Yeah?
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Really, we're gotten the wrath of five iron.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: He had had a five iron upside his head. Well,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the Mariner seemed to have set their rotation for opening day.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I think we can read into the way that they
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: closed out spring training. Luis Castillo just pitched last night
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: in the final game of spring training, Brian wu the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: day before. We've already named Kirby the opening day starter.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So bucket, it's looking like Gilbert Kirby, Wu Castillo, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: then Hancock until Bryce Miller is ready to take over
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that number five spot. A lot of great things being
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: said about Emerson Hancock here at the close of spring training, though,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I'll say that, so that's the rotation. I realized that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the sequence that you put them in is you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: you know, at one point, I think it really did
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: sort of designate in order who they considered the best.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the Mariners think of it that way.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe they would if there was a bigger differential between them,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: but I don't think that you can read into this
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that the Mariners think Gilbert's their best, Kirby's their second best,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Woo's their third best, Castillo's therefore, but maybe you can,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: maybe you can, I don't know, but that's the rotation
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to get things started for the year. Gilbert, Kirby, Wu Castillo,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and Hancock.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't really go wrong.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, all the way through, it makes
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: sense how it would look exactly like that. I think
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: that I think that I think you could argue any
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: one of the top three. Actually, you could argue any
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: one of the top five really could pitch like an
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: ace on any given day, which is a beautiful situation
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: to be in. But I you know, Bryce, you got
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: to take him out of the equation some degree. I
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: guess Hancock probably take him out of the equation as well.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Castile maybe has has pitched himself out of being in
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: that same conversation, even though he can throw like an
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: ace on any given turn. But yeah, those other three guys,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: it's like there's a legitimate debate about Brian Wu was
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: the most consistent for the probably the best last year.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: There's legitimacy behind the fact that they started Gilbert in
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: the most important games in the playoffs. I think that
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: there is hidden potential with that guy to be able
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: to go out and absolutely shove on any given day.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: And yet Logan has just kind of been you know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: steady Eddy going out there, and since he kind of
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: figured out how to put guys away, his strikeout numbers
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: are up there. It doesn't matter because two weeks, three
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: weeks into the season, you're not facing off I mean
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: it could be really one week into the season, you're
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: not facing off against the number five against the five
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: guy anymore, So it doesn't really matter. But at the
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: same time, I think that there's a little bit of
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: a hierarchy that is.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Set, and.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: You feel it definitely for the opening day guy, whether
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: you're the two or the three guy, I don't think
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: they care so much.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and look, I mean there's a lot of excitement,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and not just in Seattle, probably more so from the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: national people because there are so many Mariner fans that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: are still so guarded about predicting anything good for their
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: team that they root for, but nationally, I mean, you
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: can't talk to anybody without them thinking the Mariners are
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: a World Series contender, if not world if not an
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: American League favorite heading into this season. And I think
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that that enthusiasm is being brought on by the fact
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that cal Raley broke through to superstardom, maybe unexpectedly for
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of people a year ago. There's still a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: belief that Julio Rodriguez has a lot more room to grow,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and maybe we'll see his best season out there, but
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: then Josh Naylor for a whole season. Brendan Donovan. My
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: point is that I think that the World Series love
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that's being discussed about our local baseball team has a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: lot to do with how much better the analysts think
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: our offense is compared to what it's been the last
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: few years. That said, what can't be lost in the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: conversation about the Mariners' chances. The reason our floor is
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: so high is because of our starting pitching. And I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: think that to make the American League Chanmceampionship Series, to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: make it as close as nine eight outs to the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: World Series. A year ago, when I would argue there's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: no chance we'll have as bad as starting pitching season,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it was still a good starting pitching season. But no,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine they're not going to be better than.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: What they were a year ago.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So I get the hype surrounding the offense, but let's
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: not lose sight how good this starting rotation is. And
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I think I think every single one of them, with
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the exception of Castillo, still has a lot of room
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to grow, particularly George Kirby. I saw an article just
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: yesterday predicting cy Young Award winners, and he's getting votes
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for people think he's gonna win the SI Young. He
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: had man anywhere close to being cy Young caliber at
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: this stage in his career, but people still believe, and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I still believe he's got that kind of upside. So
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: as good as they've been, as much as they have
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: carried this organization at times the last three or four seasons,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: they didn't have to allow yt year, but for the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: most part, for the last three or four seasons, starting
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: pitching has carried this team to its success. I think
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that it's getting lost a little bit in the shuffle,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: And don't lose it in the shuffle, because this group
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: is outstanding with still a lot of room to grow.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: In my opinion. Well, I'm yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think that last year at this time,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: there was still a lot of haters out there that
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: were just like, well, you didn't do enough to improve
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: the offense, and there's going to be a regression with
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: the pitching, And to some degree during the regular season
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: and the postseason, there was the starting pitching was not
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: as solid, they weren't as healthy, and they weren't as solid.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Last year now, their down year was still really good.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Really good.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: It just wasn't like record you know, near topping records
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: and whatnot.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: They weren't all WU. No, they weren't all be WU.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: They weren't all WU last year.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: And yet you start a new season and hope spring's eternal,
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: and you kind of you can see how, Yeah, any
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: one of these guys could have an off year, but
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: any one of them could have a cy young year
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: as well. I mean you're talking about, you know, a
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: rotation that's absolutely stacked, and so to me, yeah, you're right,
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: the floor is as high as it is because of
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: this pitching staff. And yet you got eight outs. We
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: got eight outs from the World Series, and you didn't
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: even your pitching did not pitch the way that it's
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: capable of pitching.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And your ace wasn't even available to you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you didn't even get a handful of innings out
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: of the guy that pitched the best for you last year.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, the guy that ended up having the best
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: numbers as far as the starters was Bryce Miller, who
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: was pitching hurt all year last year. So yeah, I
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: mean I think that you if you get, if you
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: get a little bit more out of the regular season. Great,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: you could maybe be coast into the playoffs. You could
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: win the division a little bit easier than they even
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: did last year. Yeah, and then and then if you get,
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: if you get the capability even somewhere near the potential
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: of what these guys can do in the postseason. The
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: thing that we were talking about, like nobody's gonna want
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: to see this pitching staff in the postseason. That is
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: still a true statement. They didn't maybe pitch as well
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: as they as they could have last year in the postseason,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: but they still can.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: It's interesting too, because didn't at the All Star break
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: they kind of changed up the rotation too, right, like
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: they used that time, and I remember they held I
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: can't remember those.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Decisions the All Star breaker usually made completely out of
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: like rest and who they feel is feeling the best
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: at that point versus anything else.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't know if maybe you just in the
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: second half of the season, you could say like, hey,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: maybe we want to switch it up, and as we
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: make a push towards the playoffs, we want it this way.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I think we long have assumed that's the way the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: things operate. But I don't think they do. I don't
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: think really anybody does anymore. It's usually just about like
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: who feels the best right now? Yeah, to start the season.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I just think the pecking order is a nice thing
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to put on paper. But they're not all that married
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to the hierarchy like they maybe once were in the sport.
• 29:47

• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Well sure, yeah, you gotta have to say it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I get it an opinion.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want our audience to get sick of the song,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: but I don't want us to get sick of the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: song either.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I mean that's happened before, remember Wham, Wake Me Up
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: before you go go? Couldn't stand it?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I just hated that song and that that was
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Anders kept playing that when he would fill in for you.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But you guys got sick of my Marley song.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Well, I just it didn't fire me up. I wanted
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: to be like celebrating the win, like, not like the
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Mariners one last night.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot too that I'm saying, it's a
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: lot that goes into the spread the needle.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: It's a long season, so you got to find the
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: right type of thing that creates the proper amount of
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: enjoyment and long term.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold rifling it through the end zone the JSN
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah in the back.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that's what we're doing this like that.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you can't have like basically, you can't pick
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: something that you know is going to feel more like
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: an interception than a touchdown on a regular basis, or
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: you don't win.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: There were a lot of suggestions for you're the best
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: around or whatever from Karate Kid, you're the best around.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: But yeah, but I'm like that still isn't and we
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: don't have it in our system.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: So I would have to pull off the internet, which
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: they say you're not supposed to do.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: I did break the earlier for we do this training thing.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys know when I listened
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: to every second of what you can and can't do
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: things in the training.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, that reminds me I'm supposed to do that training,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: aren't the training? Yeah, we'll see if you get around
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, all right, it is Chuck Buck and
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Ashley with you coming up at the top of the hour.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about jsn's new deal and maybe the ramifications
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: of it going into the future. We also have ever
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it fits you stop and buy on the show today.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: We've got old Judge stopping by today on the radio program.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: But we I don't know this NBA expansion story will
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: be huge when it happens. But I realized that a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: lot of Seattle sports fans are either so thrown off
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: by the NBA that they don't even want to hear
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: it talk tobium, or that they are just so guarded
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that they want to wait till it's closer to the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: finish line. So it's kind of hard to spend a
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: lot of time previewing a vote here today, But it
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: is worth mentioning because it is going to be a
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: monstrous story when it does happen. It looks like in
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the next twenty four to thirty six hours we will
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: know definitively whether or not expansion will happen in Seattle
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: for the National Basketball Association. From what I gather, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it's not hard to find this, pretty much every insider
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: says it's a foregone conclusion that this vote will pass,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and the bigger hurdle will be the ownership group getting
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: rubber stamped come July, whoever that might be. But this
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: thing's supposed to happen without a hitch here in the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: next twenty four to thirty six hours, and it pretty
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: much puts us on the path toward expansion. Even if
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, I would argue, I still think Seattle
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: is getting a team because there are a lot of
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: organizations that aren't exactly satisfying all criteria right now in
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the National Basketball Association, and I think more so than anything,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver. Just number one, I believe Adam Silver wants
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: this done. He's tired of teasing Seattle and Las Vegas
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: with this story. And then number two, he wants the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: information now and so he can start putting together plans
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to get to Seattle. That is my belief. But my
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: third belief is that I don't think he would be
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: conducting this today if he didn't know he already had
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the votes. So that's, you know, in a nutshell, that's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: what's going on here in the next twenty four to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: thirty six hours, and we'll see when they actually do
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: get together and actually vote on the thing.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: I mean you got a big group, right, You got
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: a big group of people, the owners or boarder directors,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call him, the owners that are
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: there now that have to kind of vote and either
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: give this a pass to move to the next step
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: and then obviously a rubber stamp or a pass on
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: that before we're going to know for sure. But I
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: mean it's these are people that you know, a lot
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: of them maybe got money from Dad, but they're understanding
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: about how this could make money and make sense for
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: them and as a league and growing the league. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: then you got the group of people who, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: the Lwikis and Sam Holloway, the people that are kind
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: of pushing this thing and wanting this thing to they're
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: trying to make it a reality here in Seattle. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: think there's too many people that have their minds wrapped
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: around this for me to feel like it's going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: kind of halt or it's gonna stop. I feel like
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: it's kind of a train that's heading in the right
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: direction and it's just a matter of when that said,
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, yes, the numbers, I think the secondary vote
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: is going to be the one where's you're gonna have
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: to make it to where those owners that are already
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: existing that they're like, yep, that makes sense. It makes dollars,
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: which makes sense to us. And if you can come
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: up with enough numbers there, whatever that number is, then
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: I think we're gonna get it, because I think this
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: part is just a formality, this part of yes, I mean,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have it. Just there's too many things, there's
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: too much smoke around this that makes me feel like
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: they're not going to at least get past this.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Coming up next JSNS contract, when will
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it start affecting us and how greatly we'll discuss the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM
