• 2:05
  Speaker 4: enjoy the weekend. Well you forget, though, is how long
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: it takes to come home, And it's about double to
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: triple the normal time it would take you to go
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: back and forth between the two.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: A lot of folks singers right about that how long
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it takes to get home.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Do they? Yeah?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You're just out there on the road like a sparrow
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in the rain.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Is that a no? Oh? That sounded like one. No,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: sounded like some really great lyrics that you just wrote there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: So no, it's a movie line, but of course it is.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, But nonetheless, hey, hey, you get to soak in
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Wanatchi this weekend.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Right, that's right, we're gonna enjoy all of its splendor.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: What is the best part about I will.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Let you know on Tuesday. Okay, yeah, I'll find.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Sofall probably softball, but i'll let you know. You know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: we've got early games on Sunday and then most of
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the day to just hang about lark Oh okay, so
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: maybe I'll do some exploration and I'll fill you in.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling they have alcohol there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Oh I've already figured that part out.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably have a restaurant or three they do.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, already been looking at those because we are
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: bringing Bunker and so we got to find dog friendly places.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I would imagine they have dogs in Winachi.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Imagine they're welcome.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: There are a couple that suck if.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You drove all the way there, and they are one
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: of the few places there's just like no dogs.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: You get to Winachi and it's just a sign and
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: then they confiscate your dog.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You get pulled over. What's that doing in the back
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of your seat?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: This is Weinachi, man, we don't allow those here.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Well, look at that four like a villain.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he meanwhile his big ass ears and he's like.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: We don't like your partner around here. Stubby legs, they're kind,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they're not welcome, not in Weinachi.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Stubby legs, stubby tail, large ear. Is this one's trouble?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Can't even use a fork?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like had a type. Will you keep out
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of Winnatchi. I'll tell you that much. Well, good morning
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to you. It is a Friday. We've got a lot
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to do during our final show before we get a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: three day weekend in Wanatchi. Now that's a song weekend.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And when Natchi, Okay, keep going. I want to hear
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the rest.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I'm just just laid down there.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: You've got some music in your heart today?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just lay down the chorus line right there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: There's and and then. So there's got to be somebody
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a little more musical than me that can build something
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: around there. Keith kind of kind of went midnight in Montgomery,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: therenight in Montgomery.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Okay, it's always waiting there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But you could just kind of spin that into weekend
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in Winnachi. Yeah, it's there here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of beer there.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You go, you know, put on a few softball lyrics,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: few we hate dogs lyrics.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And you're good to go, NATCHI song is a hit.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You're practically there. Just repeat the chorus a number of times.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: A country song only has to be a and a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: half long, and we practically have written a song.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I have a very.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Accomplished, accomplished thank you, that's the word. I can't think
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: of a word, but I feel it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Well, imagine if you want some grand slam cash on
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: all of that accomplishment. Our keyword is rich this hour,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: R I c h used in a sentence, I can't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: believe Rich is giving us a day off. Rich at
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: ninety three to three KJR dot com for your shot
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: at a thousand dollars in grand slam cash. We'll have
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a keyword for you at the top of every hour
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: throughout our show today and throughout our broadcast day here
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: at KJR. And so we get started, and there's a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: lot going on right now, and there are a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of different topics to hit on. But I mean, what
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I kind of come back to this week is what
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a week it has been for the Seattle Mariners. I mean,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: here we are and our first week really without a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: football story to sync our teeth into a long period
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of time, and it's as if the Mariners went out
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of their way to give us juicy sports radio topics.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And a juicy sports radio topic is one that you
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: know you can argue, not just both sides, but there
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: are little tributaries that branch off this mighty river that
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you could discuss every single aspect of it and still
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: keep the topic fresh. To me, anyway, that's a great
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: sports radio topic. And we were handed three of them
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: by the Mariners this week between Sunday Cold Emerson's surprise
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: call up and how that was going to create ripples
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: on this roster going forward. Tuesday, the piggyback situation, which
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it's funny that I went on with Softy and Dick
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: last night and they started with please stop saying the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: word piggyback. Were tired of it, and yet they said
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it like a thousand times during the interview.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: And also it literally just came about this week, right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: how are you already tired of it?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Can't be burned down out of it by now. But
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: an amazing sports radio topic, without question, And so that
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: was handed to us on Tuesday, and then Wednesday and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the Thursday we get the JP Crawford self demotion. If
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you will, he still wants to be a starter, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: he still wants to be in the everyday lineup. It's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: not that great. It's not like he sent himself to Everett,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know, Wednesday night. But nonetheless, you know, shortstops are
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: really proud of being shortstops, and JP Crawford's very proud
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of being a shortstop. And yet the surprising announcement to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: us anyway that I'm going to take I'm going to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: hand the job over to cold Emerson. He's the better
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: man for the job right now, twenty years or not.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And maybe I can fill the role at third base.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's something that I can do for this team
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: going forward. And then of course the kicker. I just
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: want to be in the lineup every day and I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: want to be a Mariner for a life, which won
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: over a lot of people yesterday, no question about that,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: but not everyone. There was a bit of a cynical
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: reaction as well to JP's comments, sort of a well
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: is it that much of a gesture when the writing
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: was already on the wall kind of take, and I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: would kick I would push back on that and say yes,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: because if he is that big of a leader in
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that clubhouse, and he's the guy that hands out the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: trident for goodness sake. So there's certainly an element to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: him that they all love and respect on that team. Yes,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: he is an impactful leader. Now we can talk about
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: leadership in baseball in a moment, because that's kind of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: an interesting twist to this story as well. But I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: do believe that he is respected and loved. And I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: think if JP's hurting, I think the team hurts. You know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I think when you lose a ty France off your roster,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: even though it's the right thing to do, it is
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit of an adjustment period because of how
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: well liked that individual. Was not coincidental that those two
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: are best friends, And so if JP's hurting, I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the team hurts a little bit. And he could have
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: let's just say, let's just say that they pulled him
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: aside and they had a real conversation about it, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: maybe it was organizationally led, maybe it was Jerry and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Justin and Dan saying, hey, we believe, just being fair
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: with you, your game has slipped as a defensive shortstop,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and we think that we can improve that by bringing
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: up Colt Emerson. But we want to be careful with this,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you know, want we love and respect you, and maybe
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: there's another role for you. Maybe they did that. Maybe
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: maybe it wasn't just all JP like, hey, guys, come
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: on now, stop treating me like a fool. I know
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that I'm not as good a defensive shortstop as I
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: used to be, and this kid's slick as can be.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Let's just go ahead. I don't want to sit here
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and think any longer. I don't want to read any
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: more texts or tweets or anything else suggesting that I'm
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: washed as a shortstop and I'm keeping us from being
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a better team. It's one of those two things, right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Either he did it voluntarily because he saw the riding
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: on the wall and decided, let's talk about the elephant
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: in the room. Dan, I should not be the shortstop
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: if Colt's going to be here, but I think I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: could be the third baseman. Maybe that was it, or
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: maybe it was organizationally behind the scenes. Hey, you present
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: it however you want to the media, But we do
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: need to make a change for the betterment of the team,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and we think we can experiment with a few things
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to keep you in the everyday lineup because we value
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: you that much. And we know how important you are
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to the team. And then JP kind of got to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: drive the narrative from that point forward. So it's one
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of those two things that had happened, and if the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: cynic in you believes that maybe the second one is
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: more likely. Fine. Regardless, because of his stature in the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: locker room, he has a real great ability here to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: be a cancer. I mean, I'm grew up in Saint Louis,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and the most beloved figure in Saint Louis when I
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: was growing up was Ozzie Smith, a shortstop by the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: name of Ozzie Smith, and Ozzie Smith, the older he
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: was getting, obviously, he wasn't the defensive wizard that he
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: once was, even though he's still very good all the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: way to the end. And he never was and he wasn't.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He was slipping a little bit as an offensive contributor
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: as well. All of a sudden, you change James and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: here comes Tony Larusa. And this isn't just some jackweed
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: they grabbed off the street. This is Hall of Fame caliber.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Tony Larusa takes over his manager. LaRussa starts the process
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of rebuilding the team in the eye with the mind
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that Ozzie Smith's not going to be at the center
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: of it. He's just too old. He's not the same
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: player that he used to be, and Ozzy hated it,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and Ozzy went around the locker room and tried to
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: turn people against Tony LaRussa, And so all of a sudden,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Ozzy Smith, the most beloved person in Saint Louis, is
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: suddenly being talked about on talk shows as a clubhouse cancer.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And that possibility exists, And maybe it doesn't with JP Crawford,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: maybe he's above all of that. Again, this is just
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: pure speculation, and this is in response to the cynics.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: But if he's that well respected and he's hurt or
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: he's angry, it could affect the team negatively going forward.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: So I think it is in the best interest of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the entire organization if everybody's okay with the move, if
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: JP's okay with being supplanted at shortstop by a twenty
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: year old with no experience arriance, and he's okay with
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: seeing if I can play third base, if I can
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: fill that role, because we don't even know if he can,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and I think that it's okay that he presents to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the world to the fan base that I'm okay with this,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: because there is an alternative out there, Ashley, and that's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that he's not okay with it, and that he does
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: become a problem, whether in the clubhouse or in public,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you know, to the fan base. And now all of
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you might be dealing with a fractured locker
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: room at that point. So there's enough going on right now.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: There are enough battles that this team is facing, three
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: games under five hundred, enough frustrations, enough annoyance, enough guys
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: having subpar seasons that I don't want to add on
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: top of that that we have a fractured clubhouse because
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: one of the main leaders feels offended. He obviously doesn't
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: feel offended by what's happened, or at least he being
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a very good actor in public. But it feels to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: me like whether it is JP seeing the riding on
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the wall, JP being told about the riding on the wall,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: he seems to be handling it quite smoothly, quite professionally.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Otherwise he's not announcing to the world, I just want
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to be a Mariner for life. Did we get that
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: from Kyle Seger when he was angry with the organization
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: he ran to retirement, where JP is saying, I just
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: want to play. I want to be a part of
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: this team, and I want to be a part of
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this team beyond this year, beyond my contract, whatever role
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: that is. I love these guys and I want a
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: win a world championship. I love living in Woodenville. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: love my baby, I love my wife. I love Vaughn's.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I love cal living next door to me. I love
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: my dogs. I want to be here. I don't want
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: to move somewhere else and start all over again. And
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: that alone, to me, is value. Yeah.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I think it doesn't matter whether it was JP who
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: came up with it on his own and went the organization,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: or the organization who came to him, or some combo
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: of the two, because as you said, it's all in
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: the reaction.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: That he has to the situation and how he presents it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: So whether or not he came up with it on
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: his own or they talk to him, it doesn't matter
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: because it is and the presentation that he puts forth
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: and what he's saying and how he is leading moving forward,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: and he's saying, yeah, exactly, I want to be a
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Mariner for life and if that means that I can
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: play third base and I can actually help this team
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: by playing third base, then let's do it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: And that's the that's it. So anyone who's looking for.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Well, JP didn't come up with it on his own
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: or the Mariners definitely told him who cares, because, as
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: you said, he could have reacted in a completely different way.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: He could be pouting, he could want to be traded,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: he could want anything and any number of things other
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: than the way he went about it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: And even if he has a lesser role and playing
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: third base and playing every day is yeah, not a
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: lesser role, just a different It's just a different role, yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: just different. I mean shortstop's more important defensively third base.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I think we all agree on that, And yes it is.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: You get stung by the fact when somebody tells you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you're not a shortstop anymore. That stings, there's no question
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: about it. But from a leadership standpoint, when the leader
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: who's who's when one of the leaders who's not one
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of the best players on the team, So his leadership
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: is coming through his character. Sometimes leaders like Barry Bonds
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: was a leader and he was the biggest jerk in
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the league. But he was a leader. They all followed,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: they all respected, they all worshiped at the altar of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Barry Bonds because of how phenomenal he was. So it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: all tougher to be a leader when you're not one
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: of the better players on the team. And so he
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: already faces that obstacle but overcomes it through his character.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: But then when that character shows I'm willing to do
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: what's best for the team, all hands in, don't worry
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: about JP. If I can play third and help and
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I can make us a better team by letting Cold
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: play shortstop, then I've done my job as a leader.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Hands in. Who's not going to follow that?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Right? I mean he could have done any He could
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: have come.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Forth and said, you know, whatever the organization wants, wherever
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: they want me to go, like, we'll figure it out,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to be a team player. And that's
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: a completely different presentation still while almost saying the same thing. Right,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: he had options of how he could have said it,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: and he came forth and said the right way, and yes,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: everybody will follow. And it is a special skill to
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: be able to do that when you're not up there,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: you know, with the best batting average and the best
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: on base percentage and all of the things that he
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: is not, but he is a great leader.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think it's been on display this week,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and yes, I do think it's going to help the team.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: And I really don't know. There's some parts about this
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that I don't know. I don't know if he can
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: make the transition. I mean, I don't think people should
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: think it's impossible. We've seen many short shortstops are so
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: skilled that we've seen many of them that have been
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: lifetime shortstops and one day make the transition to third base.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: We've seen it happen throughout the history of Major League Baseball.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: It might be the easiest transition that there is. Frankly,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably easier than shortstop to second, especially
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: considering the fact that because of shifts that we use now,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a third baseman's really playing shortstop a lot, and so
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: from that standpoint, it's not some huge adjustment to his
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: defense to have to move. It's not an impossible one.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: It's not some impossible leap. Now, I think when I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: think of great third basemen, I think of guys with
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: cannon arms. And we know JP does not have a
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: canon arm. It's one of the problems that he had
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: a shortstop. Can you still be serviceable without that? Yes,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: and that's all we're looking for. Brandon Donovan was a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: little short of being serviceable at third He went very
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: good at night defensively.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Quite a few issues.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so can you be serviceable? Yeah, you can be
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: serviceable without a big arm at third base. Probably can't
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: be great, But then again, beggars can't be choosers. So
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: let's give this a shot. Let's see how it works.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna be in the lineup
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: tonight against the Kansas City Royals.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I'm so intrigued with I'm like waiting for that lineup
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: to come out though, because I am very intrigued.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and yes, I get it. I can be cynical too,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And there are different ways of looking at this, And
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: who knows what the real conversation was behind the scenes.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: All I know is he could have handled this one
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: of a thousand different ways, and the way he handled
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: it felt about as much of above board team player,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: at least from a public perception. Ye that I could
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: have envisioned. Now, maybe he goes into the locker room
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: in Kansas City and trashes the place tonight. I don't maybe,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen. I think this
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: is a good thing for JP. I think this is
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: a good thing for the team, and I think they're
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: going to be better for it. All right, let's find doubt.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: What's on tap for the rest of the show.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Chuck, what's on tep? What's on tep?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: All right, Mariners coming off a day off, they will
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: be in Kansas City to night's take on the Royals.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: We'll spend some time previewing that first pitches at four
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: forty uh. It will be Logan Gilbert going for the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Mariners and Noah Cameron for the Kansas City Royals. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: before you ask, yes, he is left handed. Yay, So
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Logan better be good. We can't hit those guys. NBA Playoffs,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the New York Knicks won over the Cleveland Cavaliers last
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: night one O nine to ninety three. This is getting absurd,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: the run that the Knicks are on right now. Not
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: only have they won nine straight playoff games, they have
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: won those nine games by a combined two hundred and
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: twelve points. In the history of the NBA postseason or
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: regular season, No team has been that dominant over a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: stretch of nine games. Ever.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's impressive.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: No team has won in a nine game winning streak
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: by two hundred and twelve points or more in the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: history of the league. And that's what the Knicks are doing.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: A three seed and they're dominating this way. Game three
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: will be Saturday, Game two tonight of the Western Conference Finals.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City heads to San Antonio, tip at five point thirty.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: That series even at one game apiece, and that series
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: man a lot of injuries, two major injuries to Spurs players,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and Jalen Williams for Oklahoma City might be out for
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a while as well. The Storm will be back in
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: action tonight against the Sun at seven o'clock. And in
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: a very strange twist, whin did the WNBA start playing
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: series in like baseball? But they're going to play the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Sun again tonight. They just played them Wednesday, and they're
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: playing them again tonight at home.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Interesting, So back to back.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Home games against the same team. And both of these
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: teams have won one game this year so far, very
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: early in the season, which means the Suns only win
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: came against the Storm.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Perfect revenge. It's the revenge game from Wednesday.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Playoffs the Rusty Carolina Hurricanes. By the way,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I used to work with a guy named Rusty Crane.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: When I wrote.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Rusty Canes down, I thought of Rusty like a I
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: don't think he's with us anymore. But he was a
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: very nice man.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Here's to you, Rusty.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was ginger case you're wondering.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Sense, Yeah.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The Rusty Kanes fell six to two to the
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Montreal Canadians last night. They hadn't played in eleven days
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: and it showed they were terrible. Meanwhile, the Western Conference
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Finals game two tonight with the Las Vegas up one
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: to oh, they will try to make a two to
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: oh at Colorado. I don't think they're gonna pull that off.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Sounders Sunday this week weekend, they'll be in Los Angeles
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: against LAFC. That game's going to be on Fox Night
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: game on Sunday at six point fifteen. And we'll find
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: some time today. We don't normally do this. I'm not
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a big NASCAR guy, so why would I talk about
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: something I have no expertise in. But when one of
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: their living legends active legends, passes away, will find some
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: time to talk about forty one year old Kyle Busch,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: who stunningly passed away from all. They're calling it is
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a severe illness that he went to get checked out
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: at the hospital and he did not make it through.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: So incredible news out of NASCAR, incredibly horrible news out
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: of NASCAR yesterday with Kyle Busch passing away. We'll find
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: some time to talk about it. But coming up next
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: on the show, we don't have myri owners morning after
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: today at six point thirty, so I'm going to do
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: something that probably will shock you all. I am going
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: to criticize JSN Sports Radio ninety three point three a
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: kJ r F M. All right, it is Chuck Powell
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and Ashley Ryan. What you hear on this Friday morning?
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Great Friday morning to you. Oh man, these Fridays we
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: should do this once a week. I mean they are fantastic.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: I just want to hit the talk button to talk
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: back to you instead of turning my microphone on because
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, that's a great idea, that's so fast.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Is there any way we can meet with the
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Friday people?
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Just like make sure it's happening once once a week.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like we could put in a request, maybe
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: at least a zoom call, a team's call.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I think they should just have a bigger role in
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: our lives.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: The Friday people, and then you know what we should
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: do too. I mean, can I be greedy, Yes, ask
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: for Monday off.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Every once in a while.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Oh the Monday people I need to have a talk with.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they have the worst day of the week.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Oh those guys, man, those guys have been on our
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: nerves for years.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, every Sunday I go to bed thinking, f you Monday, Well.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you. It is Chuck and Ashley with you.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Normally we do Mariners morning after. I mean, it just
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: feels like the Mariners have had very few days off
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: this year. Feels like we you know, we don't get
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: this opportunity much, not to do Marinder's baseball at six thirty.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: But since we do have the opportunity, I am going
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to do something other than Mariner's baseball here. And yet,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure you're gonna like what I got to say,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: because I'm going to criticize one of our beloved a
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: guy that seems to be beyond criticism. I mean, he's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: just been a perfect Seattle Sports figure since he arrived
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: in town. And I still believe that he is. But
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that he is free of criticism now
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: and then. And I'm going to criticize our favorite receiver
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Chigbu here this morning. I did this
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: earlier in the week. You weren't here for that. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: put it in Reckless at Breakfast? Or were you here
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: for Reckless at Breakfast?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I was nut, No, you're not.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: It was Wednesday. Yeah, it's Wednesday. You were not here.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I did it Reckless at Breakfast, but it was short,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: it was condensed, and I wanted to like spread my
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: wings here a little bit and also get your thoughts
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: on it. We obviously all love Jackson Smith and Jigba r.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I mean we love him for how great he is
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: as a football player. And he is great, I mean,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: make no mistake about it. It is g R E
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a T. But we also love him for how great
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: he is off the field, how great he seems to
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: be with his teammates. I love having a wide receiver
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: who can get to the end of a game. Accept
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the interview from the network. Even though he might have
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: only caught two passes for thirty two yards, that day,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: and instead of being angry about his usage, talks about
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: all I care about is a win. Oh man, is
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: that not precious?
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: That's pretty nice.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: That's better than right there. It's like finding you know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: that's finding a magic truffle with the end of your nose.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, right in your pants.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: And so to have that, I mean, it just takes
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: him to a whole new level. And so Jackson Smith
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: and Jigbo, we didn't have to encourage the Seahawks. They
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: were like, this is a no brainer, first opportunity. We
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: have to make sure we lock this guy down. We're
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: gonna lock him down and we are not going to
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: leave any gray area where he's disappointed. We're gonna make
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: him the highest paid wide receiver per season in the
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: National Football League. The league's going to recognize him as
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: not just the best wide receiver in the National Football
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: League for twenty twenty five, but also the best offensive
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: player in the entire league for twenty twenty five. He's
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: all pro, he's highly paid, his teammates love him, his
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: city loves him, his fan base loves him, and so
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: all of the reasons that we love him, though, is
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: because not just because he'sctive, but at an extra layer.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: He's not like a lot of other number one wide
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: receivers out there. So I don't even want to start
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: down the road where you start acting like that. Okay,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: So I don't like this JSN and his family feel
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: so disrespected because that's a slippery stult. That's where it
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: starts into divedom is when you're always trying to find
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: where someone is disrespecting you. I mean, I don't think
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: DK Metcalf is a bad guy at all, and I
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: think he was a terrific seahawk. But what was DK's problem?
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Why did DK get in that fracas with the Lions
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: fan with the stupid pom palm on his head? Because
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: there's no way I'm gonna let some cheese d.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Just waiting to see how that was gonna app I think.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I could have said it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let some cheese d show me up.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I don't care if he's one hundred and fifty feet
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: away or not. I'm gonna go and grab him by
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: his pomp pumhead because he felt disrespected. Why does DK
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Metcalf get flags and games? How dare you? I'm bigger
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: than you, stronger than you, faster than you, better than you.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: How dare you try to cheap shot me. Nobody's gonna
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: disrespect me that way. Look, I don't like being disrespected either,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: but it's gonna happen in a world. Especially when you've
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: revealed you can't stand being disrespected. People are then going
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: to go out of their way because they can get you,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: as an athlete, out of your game. And that's what
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: teams did to DK every single week. They knew that
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: if they pushed and pushed and pushed, they'd get him
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: off his game. They'd get him to commit a fifteen
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: yard penalty. And it all stems from I am not
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: gonna be disrespected. That is the slippery slope to divadom.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I get it. A bad committe who did not have
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: a good joke prepared mispronounced your name, and that is
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: very disrespectful. But be angry at the comedian and I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: get it. You got a trophy in the mail and
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: it had the wrong lettering on it, and that's ridiculous.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: But I think it's more coincidence. If you want to
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: be mad at Bob the NFL engraver, then you can
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: be angry at Bob the NFL Engraver. But if you think,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: and your family thinks, and your brother thinks for one
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: second that the National Football League is out to get you,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: you think Roger Goodell's in the green room with Drewski
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: saying what if you did this? What if you mispronounced
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: his name the hilarity or he's sitting down with Bob
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the Engraver and saying, mix up a couple letters. They
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: were two isolated incidents that just so happened to occur
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: in the same offseason. When you live in a forest
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: of respect, a forest of respect, everywhere you turn, the
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: trees respect you, the streams respect you, the creeks and
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the rivers respect you, the wildlife respects you. Everything in
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the forest respects you. But if you're going to get
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: disrespected because of one unfunny bullfrog that you come across,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: or you know, some woodpecker that you know won't stop
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: pecking while you're trying to sleep, if you're gonna look
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: for disrespect and respect forest, you're going to find it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: And I just don't want you to turn into that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: You've got way too much going for you. You've lived
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: way too great of a football existence to this point
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: and all around you and all the most important areas
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: of life, you are respected on a ten on a
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: level from one to ten. So don't stoop yourself. Uh,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: just laugh it off, laugh it off because it's nothing
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: more than it deserves. Some unfunny comedian butchered your name
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: and some unknown engraver put the wrong letters on your trophy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Who cares? Everything else in life is just going Jsn's way.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: It is paved in gold, and Buddy, there aren't a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: lot of us that can say that about how well
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: our life is going. So I don't want to see
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: some slippery slope starting. I don't want you to become
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the wide receiver that is looking to be disrespected, because
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: if you start doing that, you'll find it just appreciate
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: how respected you really are by all the people that
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: really matter.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's looking for disrespect.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: And in the sense of the way that Drewski handled
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: his presentation, I mean that's the biggest moment to this date,
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: an individual moment to this state of jsn's career. And
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: the guy didn't accidentally butcher his name. I mean he
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: butchered his name in an insulting way that he thought.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: So being angry with him, I say, to be angry
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: with him, but.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: The NFL having put him up there in hosts or
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: in presenting. NFL had him as a presenter.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Right, oh, right, So they didn't know what he was
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: going to do.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they did, but I think they
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: could have issued an apology after and said, you know what,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: we had no idea that was going to happen. We're
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: very sorry that was uncalled for, and and and put
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: out a statement saying that they, you know, were separating themselves.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: I didn't see anything, but they could have and and
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: then did okay, And then as far as the trophy goes,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I mean I think he probably saw it and was like, oh,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: come on, man, like this is ridiculous.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: You know, check check this.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: And then when he put it out there, he said
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: it's like boring on disrespectful.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's out there searching for it. I
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: don't think he's trying to.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: His brother got angry about it, but I mean, but
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: we all get protective over our our siblings and our
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: friends and our family members. I mean, you're going to
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: go out there and you're and I would love to
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: see him laugh it off, but I can also understand
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: why he's upset by it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Well. I just think that when we talk about divas
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: at wide receipt, what starts that is them looking for
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: being disrespected, and I just don't want to start down
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: that road.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think we have to worry about that with
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: him at all.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think we have to worry
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: about it. But I just think this reaction to the
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: silliness and then everybody had to feel like they had
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: to come to Jsn's defense on Twitter and get angry
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: with him about how can you disrespect him? He's so
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: good at what he does. Again, I think it's very
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: much a coincidence that these two separate incidents this offseason,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: and it's unfortunate because everybody wants to get their trophy
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: with the right lettering on it. I have a feeling
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: they'll make good on that, by the way, and they
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: did apologize for that as well, from what I understand.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And if you think you can control some want to
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: be influencer who became a comedian somehow and you can
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: control his fund honey slash unfunny jokes on a stage
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: in a podium, well, good luck to you.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: No, and I don't think anyone thinks they can control that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no controlling that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: So but if it hadn't been for that, the.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: The miss pronuncia or whatever spell on the trophy wouldn't
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: have mattered at all.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but it's the combination.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: So as much as they're both again separate, it's the combination.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: And if the NFL was inkuhoots to do it, then
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: go on your campaign of disrespect. But there's no way
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: on earth the National Football League is going to take
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: one of its best players and one of its best
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: dudes and then try to make his life no miserable.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone thinks that they're doing that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Well, So it's not disrespect has to be the intent.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: And so if you think that Drewski intended to disrespect you.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Hate Drewski, yes, and never never, never forgive Drewski.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: If you don't.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: If you think Bob the Engraver did it on purpose,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: then hate Bob the Graver. But making it about the
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: national foot this is where we're talking about the National
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Football THEAG just doesn't doesn't respect our guy. Come on,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: you gotta laugh that off. There's no way they were
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: intending for these two incidents to occur to the same person.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: And I just don't want to see you go down
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: that road. Just look around, you smell the flowers. You
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: live in a beautiful garden, Bud, you really do. I mean,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: it is the life of JSN. That's a great life
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: right there. And everybody loves you. That matters everybody, all right.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, the ABC's of the m's on Sports
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Let's do the ABC's
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: of the ms are Daily Mariners segment. We run through
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the alphabet and that's our guide through a Daily Mariner's segment.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: We left off of the letter M yesterday, and M
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: is for momentum, like the Seattle Mariners semis for Mariners.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: The Kansas City Royals also hate momentum. Man today despise
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: them some momentum. I don't know why. I think. I
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: think momentum is a good thing in sports. I'd try
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: to take advantage of it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: It seems like it would be I don't know, positive.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Mariners, just when you think they get going, they'll go
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: out and play their worst series of the year. And
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: the Royals do the exact same thing. The Kansasity Royals
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: had maybe not the same expectations going into this year
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: as the Ms, but they'd certainly had high hopes. They
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: thought they were going to win the division this year.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: They're ten games under five hundred right now, and if
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: you remember, they've won all three games at T Mobile
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: against the Mariners, and they thought that was their turnaround.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: They then took two from first place Cleveland at home
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the next couple of games, and the Royals were believing, Hey,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: we fixed it. We're good, everything's fine, We're all right.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: We finally grabbed momentum. Yeah, we are what we thought.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: We were five straight games that we've won and we're
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: going to get back on track here. Well, since that time,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: they've gone three and eleven and they just got swept
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: by the Boston Red Sox, who have been struggling all
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: season long this year as well. So the Royals haven't
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: been able to seize momentum. The Mariners haven't been able
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: to seize momentum, and they will do battle tonight starting
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: at four point forty in Kansas City. Kick a dog
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: while it's down, yeah, which it's a terrible say now
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: that I think about it. Now that I'm very sorry. Well,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I would say then we're coming off two out of three.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: So they've lost three straight and they've lost actually they've
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: lost nine of their last ten. So they seem to
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: have not been able to take advantage of that little
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: upswing that they had, and so let's go ahead and
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: keep them in the dog house. So Kansas City and
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the Mariners tonight. Now, in order to get off to
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: a good start in this series, we're gonna have to
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: be a left hander. And it's hard, It's really hard,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: and is for Noah. Noah Cameron is going to start
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: for the Royals tonight. He has left handed We are
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: terrible against lefties, and yet this might be the guy.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: This might be the guy. Can we split the difference
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: on this, brain Trust, Jerry, Justin Dan, can we split
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: the difference that maybe we I mean, it's so funny
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: that we marry ourselves to this righty lefty split, and
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: yet we don't marry ourselves to guys who have reverse splits.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: And that's what we have with Noah Cameron. He gets pummeled.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: By left handers.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: He has a three to ten batting average against and
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: a nine to two OPS against left handed batters this year.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: So can we maybe split the difference and not put
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Ref Schneider and Joe in the lineup? Maybe we could
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: go with can Zone or Rayley to see if maybe
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: there's something to Noah Cameron can't get lefties out, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: so let's put one of the righties in. But let's
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe we could start a process of seeing if
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Dom Canzone really does have to be taken out of
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: games every single time a left hander enters. Maybe this
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: is the type of left hander that we actually start
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: can Zone. What do you think?
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I don't hate that idea?
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Let's do it's yeah, let's do it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Sign me up for that chuck.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're slaves to the righty lefty thing and
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: the numbers, well, the numbers. You know this guy hits back. Well,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: can we not recognize when reverse splitz are at play?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Noah Cameron and a short sample size can't get lefties out,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: So let's throw at least one extra lefty at him tonight.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: How about we go Refschneider and Dom today in the lineup? Okay,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: well do you think yep?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Sign me up?
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Headlines next plus doesn't happen a lot, but we're experiencing
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: it two months into the year. A great roster remodeling
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: done by the Mariners. We'll get into a next sports
