• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Nine o'clock hour here on this Tuesday, Chuck Pile, Bucky Jacobs,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and Ashley Ryan with you. The Old Judge stops by
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit later on. That'll be a good guest
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to have speak to the Emeralds, yah know, coming up
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: at a future they just have the old Old Judge
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: as a guest speaker.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's already booked. He's already booked for a couple
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of weeks from now, when that little final push you
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: get through kind of the spring training side of things
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and it's ready for the regular season. I need to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: get these eight year olds whipped into shape, so I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: know I'm the old Judge in there to whip them up.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I know the Emeralds probably don't have a huge budget,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: but man, I think it. I don't know, maybe put
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a pool together to have an actual Sasquatch mascot that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: comes to your games. Do you do you think he
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: can go? I know' I mean yeah, probably an actual
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Sasquatch would be even better.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You bet.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You'd probably have to keep him on a chain.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd have to leash him. And I don't know
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: if they like that so much, but I think maybe
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: a costume and get someone like. I can guarantee if
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I bought a little baby one like Gracie would wear
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it around, be like a baby Squatch. But to get
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a full size one, I bet I could probably. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: did have a dad come by yesterday and say, hey,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm more than willing to help with anything, just so
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know anything about baseball.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, well, then you might be the perfect
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: sasquatch guy. You're onto something here, chuck.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the kids would get a kick out of it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They don't have to know which dad's wearing the costume
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that day.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they don't have to know it's a costume.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I guess not. I mean, if you yeah, I would
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: imagine some of the children are a little dumber than
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the others.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh for sure, I'm gonna name any names.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Uh, but yeah, I think a Sasquatch mascot. I mean,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it seems early eight years old to be having, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: big league things like mascots running around on your field,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: but this sort of fits.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Times are changing. Times are changing. I mean I didn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: have a walk up song until I was in professional baseball.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Ashley has walk up songs for her daughter's team already.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had him for five years.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean it's just all trickles down. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: mean pretty sure. Nil. I haven't had anybody yet come
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to try to steal one of my players and offer
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: him more nil money. But it's probably coming, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Jack's We got one kid. We used to call him
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: pencil Bat last year because he hits bombs. It's whole yeah,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like bombs. Pencil Bat well looked like a pencil. It
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: actually looked like the yellow number two pencil with a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: pink eraser on the tip. Yeah, all right, got it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And so you know, I mean, actually I knew his
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: name was Jax, but our team just was like back
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: up pencil bats up, back up pencil bats up. Well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he's on my team.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Now, Oh you got a pencil bat. That's a huge
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: free agent signing.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It's a big change, it's a big it's probably my
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: best off season acquisition.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: At the clubhouse there feeling good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Good good. I think bears he's motivated because he knows
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: there's a kid that can hit it just as far,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: if not farther than he can. I honestly, I'm like, yes,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that's right, boy. You want to you want to be
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the bopper around here, but it puts work in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Got some competition here.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Jackson is in the house.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Pencil bat just walked into the saloon.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, and he's got a new bat.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Really.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't hit in the first day of practice. If
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you can imagine that. Oh, okay, and all the kids, right,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we're gonna hit today. I might trust me, kids. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: want nothing more than to hit. But you guys got
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to throw and play catch.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You've got to figure out how you're gonna pimp your
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: home run before you hit it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: No, you don't actually wrong.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That is so else state right there. You just went
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: total else state I did on the kids, I did. Yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we're not even going to pick up baseballs today. Nope,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it's time to box kids. And after that, no rules basketball.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: We're never gonna chop some wood.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And if you're lucky, we're gonna hit next week.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, discipline eight years old, it's time to learn.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's right. Well, we're supposed to have Robert Flores on
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the show today from MLB Network, and so hopefully we'll
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: still be able to pull that off here this hour.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But the WBC is getting started. He's the host of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: MLB Central with Mark Durosa, who is the America's skipper.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: He is the Captain America, captain of the team, the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: manager of our team that will be representing in the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic. Second year that he's done this, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: so he must have done something right the first time around.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well he took him right there to the right
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to the very end right championship and then show, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: did what he did to the Mike Trout. But yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know for sure if he's had
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a better team than this team. This team is absolutely stacked.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And I like that about this because I don't know
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: why it wasn't cool to participate as Team America. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: don't know why that that happened. I mean this, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about recently, you know now that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: our nation, you know, we don't like each other, you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I mean it was even before that sort of stretch
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of time where a lot of the American players just
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: decided that's not the cool thing to do, and that
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they they just didn't participate. And we've grown it and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: then it really took a jump forward with dro he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: got a lot of the guys he wanted to play,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and now they're standing in line. Now they're like, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: can't wait to play. Yeah, And so I mean, I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: don't know why it wasn't cool to participate for Team
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: USA and the WBC, but I'm glad that it is.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And this is from somebody that's not even sure I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: really even want the WBC, you know, because I'm a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: little bit worried as a Mariner fan of what might
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: happen here over the next couple of weeks. But if
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we're going to do it, I want our best team
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: out there. And for some reason, a lot of American
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: players didn't think it was cool to play for Team USA,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and now they all seem to think that it is.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So that's progress.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, in a weird way, the WBC, I mean,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like the Olympics, right, the baseball is
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: no longer in the Olympics, and so this is the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: version of Olympic baseball or international baseball. And for the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: longest time, when I was growing up, like pros couldn't play,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: So the Olympic team was this collegiate all star team,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and so it to me kind of fell short. I mean,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I would have loved to have played. I was never invited,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: never good enough apparently, and so it was kind of weird.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And then when it turned into the WBC, it kind
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of still felt like that to me to some degree.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: But the other teams outside of the US, I mean Dominicans, like, heck, yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we're gonna get all together and have a fiesta and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this is going to be wonderful. Now, it's very similar
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to the winter ball situation. We don't have winter ball
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: here in the United States. You if you're an American you
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: want to go play winter ball, you go to one
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: in the Latin American countries and play where the weather's nice.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So I feel like maybe the other countries were a
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: little ahead and it just took the Americans a second
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to figure out where is it. Yeah, pretty cool to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: have USA across your chest and go out and try
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to win one for your country. So I don't it
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: was a little bit slow as far as the embracing
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of it. But boy, they've embraced it now. And I'll
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: give some credit to d Ro. I mean, just knowing
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that guy personally, he's he's a guy that if he
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: calls and talks to you, even though he's a generation
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: removed from these players. He still is gonna be. He
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: still has the cool factor. He's still just one of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: those dudes that you talk to him and you're pretty slick.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: He is pretty slick.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So catch up. Popsicle to a woman in white gloves.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's a that's a new one. Yeah, I was.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I thought you gonna say, like the ice cube to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: an eskimo. That's the one that I had heard. But
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: yes he could. Okay, I didn't know if it is.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean it to be. He just means they
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: have plenty of ice cubes. Uh, But yeah, to me,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he is. He is a straight shooter, but he's fun
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and I think that he probably brings it in there
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: where it's it's about going out there and having fun,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: getting ready for the more important thing, which is the season.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take care of you guys. I'm gonna
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: make sure that we're doing this the right way. But
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: then when it comes time to turn it on, let's
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: turn it on, go out there to try to win.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Did you guys see Captain Canada?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, I did see Captain Canada.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor good.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, looks good in his Canadian uniform.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That's interesting that, like Freddie Freeman's not playing for them.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He's kind of been the face of the Canadian team
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but I'm pretty sure he's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: not playing. So Josh Nandler's kind of the replacement for
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman, if you will. And immediately they recognized him
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: as you are the leader of our team. Yeah, pretty cool.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so honor for him.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course we're going to stop him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so Mooney is going to shut him down.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Get ready for that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not even gonna have to worry about it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I also heard yesterday that I guess cal was a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: little bit torn when he was leaving the facility yesterday
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that as excited as he was to be about Team America,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he's leaving all of his pictures behind. Oh and he's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: got work to do, And it was almost like, well,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: maybe I don't have to go, you know, he excited
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to go, couldn't one of the first people to sign
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: up for it. And yet I guess when push came
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to shove, it was like saying goodbye to the family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You know, well, sounds like we'll miss you guys.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: George George makes sure you keep working on that cutter
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: while I'm gone. Okay, Bud, don't grow up too fast.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Here's let me let me see your water ball one
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: more time. Bud, your water globe?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: All right? Joining us now on the program. He is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the host of MLB Central with Mark de Rosa on
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: MLB Network, it is Robert Flores. That's with us, roll flow.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: How you doing? Man?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Doing great?
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm a little late. I almost miss my call time.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Oh so that's that's an anchor air on me. It's
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: still spring training for me too.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So well, run a lap yeap, just run a lap
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I push ups after the segment. We're not gonna cut
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you from the roster. But you know, five dollars what
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: happened again.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: In this economy?
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Five dollars?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. We got to hit you hard. Flores.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You know you can learn your manners. Uh, well, give
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: us a little insight. What's it like? I mean, you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and d Row have not only been co workers here
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the last decade or so. And and by the way,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you have the best show on MLB Network, and I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: watch a ton of it and we never get to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: watch it because our hours are right up against yours.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But what's it like for you to sit back. I'm
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: sure you've become good friends with him over time, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: now to see them in this role of manager of America.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's funny because in the last WBC
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three, when he was the manager there,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Lauren and Lauren and I would would text each other
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: during the game and we would just be.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So nervous for him.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: So everyone here at the network is obviously pulling for him,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: and we know he's going to be going to do
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: a great job. They came up a little short in
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: twenty three, but I know that he has really been
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: focused on that final out Tony and Trout and how
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: that game ended, and he wants to do everything he
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: can to make sure that doesn't happen again.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Robert, he and I were teammates in the Arizona Fall
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: League back back. I think it was like two thousand,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: so a long time ago. Do you ever have to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: just kind of knock him down a peg, like, hey, listen,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Captain America, you don't need to be peacocking around the studio. No.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: No, he's the best. He is. He's the best, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: he's one of the most talented and unique analysts I've
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: ever worked with. And so he's great on TV. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: know he could he really could do anything he wants.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: If he wanted to pursue managing full time. I have
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: no doubt he would do great at that, and or
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: maybe he'd be in the front office of a team.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: But he's really got a great feel for the game.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: He's got so much knowledge and really and that comes
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: through whether he's in the dugout or on TV.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we brought you on here to interview you, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you know it is a former de Ro teammate. Would
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you like to ask Bucky a question by chance about.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Let me let's see, well what I mean, how how
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: much different you know from from the TV persona?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Is he is?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: He to the clubhouse persona.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: He's exactly the same, exactly the same. I could have
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: told you back then that this guy is going to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: be able to do just like you said, do whatever
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: he wants. And now, mind you, you can bring this
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: up to him. He couldn't hit his way out of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: a wet paper bag that Arizona Fall League season this season?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Before you know, he says he didn't.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Really, yeah he did, he says he really didn't figure
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: out hitting until later in his career after he got
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: to UH with with Rudy Hatomio.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was there during the struggle part of it,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and yet he was hilarious while he was having a
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: hard time just getting the ball out of the infield.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: He's like, Wow, this is really fun game. You know.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: He's one of those guys and some guys come in
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and throw their helmets. He'd just come in and make
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: fun of himself as he walked down the dugout. Well,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll just go put this What is this
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: thing that this would thing that you guys take up there?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Is this what you try to hit the ball hard with?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Or No. He was hilarious and obviously he understands the game.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm with you one hundred percent. I think he might
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: be one and more talented guys. Analyst wise, out there.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Robert Flores is with us right here on chalking back.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about the WBC versus MLB baseball.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're at the MLBAN network. I know you
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: guys are excited about the season, but there are a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: lot of fans, Robert, you're a baseball fan that are
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a little torn, like, yes, I want the WBC, but
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I don't want it to come at any harm to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: my Major League Baseball team and its pursuits this year.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Where do you weigh in on that as a not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: just a baseball fan, but as an MLB network employee.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Well, yes, there is an element of almost watching these
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: games with with your your fingers covering your eyes partly right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: because of the what's at stake here. I mean, these
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: are these are the best players in the world, and
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: they mean a great deal to their respective parent clubs.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: So you just want people, the players to go out
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: to show out, to do their best and then come
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: back healthy. So that that has always been the case
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: with with this tournament and with this format the way
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: it currently exists. So yeah, I mean you don't you
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: want to see everyone at their best. And yes, it's
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: early in the year, so maybe that's a little bit skewed,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: but mainly.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You want people to be healthy. Robert, how difficult do
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you think it is? Maybe you and d Row have
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: had conversations off of the air about this of trying
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to get these guys ready and yet at the same
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: time they know they're not in mid season form at
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: this point, so he can't go out there and you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: be throwing these guys the way that he would in
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a typical game that has as much on the line
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: as these international WBC games do. So how difficult do
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: you think it is for him to just kind of
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: manage this whole thing to where he's making sure that
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: he's going out trying to win, but at the same
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: time not doing it at the cost of any of
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: these organizations that are lending them their superstars.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that it's not a it's not
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: something that's unique to just DRO I think that Albert
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Poohols is dealing with it from the team from the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Dominican Republic. I just think when you're dealing with this
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: level of athlete and this level of stars, Yeah, there's
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of things that you've got to be wary of,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: and there's a lot of conversations that have to be
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: had regarding how this player is going.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: To be used.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Hey, we're going to have him play second base a
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: little bit more this year, so can you make sure
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: he gets his reps at second base? So there is
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: constant communication between these managers and people from Team USA,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: and along with the various front office personnel from which
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: these players play for so and like I said, it's
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: not something that's unique to DRO. I imagine all the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: managers that have big league players on their roster, Imagine
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: they're dealing with it as well.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: MLB Networks Robert Flores with us. They're airing live spring
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: training games every day. Just put it on like I do,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: including an upcoming Mariners game on Thursday at twelve pm
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Pacific time, which will be available right here in Seattle.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: And you can watch row flow on the weekday morning
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: show MLB Central, returning on MLB's opening Night March twenty fifth. Well,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: let us in our remaining time ask you about our
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: local baseball team. Seems like the national guys seem to
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: love our little baseball squad up here in the Pacific Northwest.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What's your take on the twenty twenty six Seattle Mariners, Robert.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I think they're the favorite to win the American League West.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I always say that prognosticating baseball and predicting win totals,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: and I think it's among the most difficult thing to
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: do in sports because there's so many games, and baseball
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: in of itself oftentimes is unpredictable, But I think the
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Mariners have the best roster in the in this division
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: going in. Is Cal Rawley going to go for sixty
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: plus this year? I would think that that might be
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a little too much to ask, but make no mistake,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: he's going to have another fine season and they have.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I think they have the best pitching rotation in terms
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: of talent, in terms of depth, I think they have it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: It's certainly in the best in the It's the best
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: in the American League West, and maybe the best in
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: all of baseball. So look, I think while the Rangers
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: got better, the Astros still a lot of X factors
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: in question marks.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: In my mind about them.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I think the Mariners right now are the clear favorite
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: to win the division. But we got to play the
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: games first.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously they've got to go out there and get
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the job done. And yet it's going to be exciting
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to see. I mean, how how crazy did you think
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: that the season last year that Cal rawl put up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, for a catcher to go out and hit
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: sixty homers was able to me? Yeah?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I did not have an MVP vote, but if I did,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I would have voted for Cal Raleigh and I always
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: go back to what he has to do to get
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: that pitching staff ready on a game in, game out basis,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: the amount of time, the amount of energy it takes
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: to be a catcher at the big league level, and
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: to do what he does with that pitching staff there
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: in Seattle. I didn't have a problem with Aaron Judge
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: winning the MVP. I was actually in favor of maybe
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: a co mvpiece back, something that hasn't happened since nineteen
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: seventy nine with Keith Hernandez and Willie Stargel. So yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: this is a just a remarkable, remarkable player and I
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: can't wait to see him suit up for TEMSA.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: All right, what's your what's the thing that you're looking
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: most forward to with the twenty twenty six sees? I mean,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: got a lot of options out there. You got the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: ABS Challenge System. Maybe it's something like that. Maybe you're
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: looking forward to see how this unvolves evolves the Dodgers.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Are they going to win two hundred games this year?
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Show?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Is he going to win the Cy Young which seems
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to be his goal this year along with everything else
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: or anything else? What's the number one story that you're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: most looking forward to tracking as a morning daily baseball host.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's the Dodgers. Look, we have not
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: seen we hadn't seen a repeat champion for nearly a
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: quarter century. And then you know, the last time we
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: had a three peat champion, it was the Yankees with
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: winning it in ninety eight, ninety nine, and two thousand.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: So I think from a national big picture perspective, that is,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: can anyone stop them? I don't know if they'll go
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: crazy with over one hundred wins. I don't know if
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: we're going to see you know, them challenge the Mariners
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: wreck back in oh one, just because I think they're
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: so first of all, they have so much depth, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: also they're so wary of, or they're so aware of
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: making sure that their players are ready for October. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: if that means we have to put a governor on
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: them during the regular season, pump the breaks, give them
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: more rest. Well, we've got a whole nother second team
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: that has a whole bunch of all stars waiting on
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the bench they can fill in. So I don't know
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: that they're going to break any kind of wins record,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: but I'm certainly aware of them and intrigued on whether
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: or not they can make it three in a row.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: My first thing out of your mouth the morning after
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the Mariners knock them off on the World Series, How
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: are you going to react to that?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I would be like, holy bleep, they did it. Holy bleep,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: they did it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I want you to puss on the don't
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: bleep yourself out. You know, Pat mcfee's changed the rules.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: You're on cable network. Go ahead, and I want I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: want good point.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I'll let my bosses know when they get when I
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: get called into the office. Hey, but but Pat McAfee,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: he does it all the time.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But my co host is Captain America. I mean,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: why can't I cuss?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: You gotta you guys.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: You guys mentioned that you can't watch the show because
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: you know your own show is going on. We re
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: aired during the day, so yeah, you know, yeah, there's
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: really no excuse. There's really no excuse not to watch.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Sleep during the day, because.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna be lazy.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Then I didn't you know, then there you go? All right?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Noted noted you're lazy, So you don't want to watch
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: the show.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: You, Robert, Thank you, we appreciate it. Have a fun
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: baseball season.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, thanks for having me.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Robert Flores from MLB Network again. Mariner is going to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: be playing on MLB Network Thursday, if you want to
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: check that out at noon and opening night. MLB Central
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: returns on March twenty fifth. All right, coming up next
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: on our program, The Old Judge returns Sports Radio ninety
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: I respect it all a sorry old judge thinks, thank you,
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: old old jud judge.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: It's all not old. Well.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: I wanted to make sure correctly that I enunciated allow
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: and I respect for the elders.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: You're not being respectful at all.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the elers, the elers, we can't use the d
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the illerly, Yeah, the elderly. It's time for the Old Judge.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: The Old Judge stops by once per week. Here's how
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: this works. I'm going to bring up a few different
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: topics inside his courtroom. Ashley and I will discuss them,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: debate them if you will not necessarily argue. If we agree,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: we agree. But once the Old Judge has heard enough
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of our ramblings, he will slam his gabble, cavel, cavel,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: he will weigh in, and whatever the judge says goes
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: like it or not.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Because you usually don't like it, you usually don't zip
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: your traps.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: That's also true.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: I don't think I don't usually like it. A lot
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: of times you make some great points.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that's because I'm the old judge.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: The old one.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, all of them, four generations of Jacobson pick up
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: some wisdom, all of us judges.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: That's right, pointed by God.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go, very first one. According to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter this morning, Ken and a million others here locally,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Ken Walker is not getting tagged today and is heading
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to free agency and unsigned Ashley. You okay with us?
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, am I okay with the not using the
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: franchise chize tag? Yes, I did not think that we
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: were going to I did not have my hot my
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: hopes on that. I am was hoping to sign him
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: before free agency though, so.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: That he didn't have to test the waters.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: But I also understand why he would want to, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: I bet that his agent is really pushing for it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: So I am as okay as I can be with it,
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: but I'm not thrilled by it does that make sense,
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: I'm oh.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm okay with it. If the question is are
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you okay with it? I'm okay with it. I think
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think what I'm saying is, you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I would prefer to f ken Walker still on the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: team next year. But I know I know John Schneider
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: feels a lot better putting his head on the down
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: on the pillow that if he's if he doesn't sign
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a guy to more money than he feels comfortable with,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that could ruin other plans than he is to start
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: from scratch at the beginning of an off season with
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: free agency trades in the draft to address an obvious
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: hole at running back. I think he feels a okay
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: with that prospect. So yes, just specifically to answer the question, I'm.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Okay with this, Gavel, Gavel, Gavel. I think that you
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: guys are both right. I don't think it's going to happen,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: and I think for all the reasons you just kind
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: of outlined, I think more than anything, the long term
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: goal is to, you know, get back to where they
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: were this next year, where they just finished this past season,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: and do that be in that realm being that competitive,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: that Super Bowl contender for the foreseeable future for the
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: next four or five years. Right. I think they got
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the quarterback figured out. Now it's lock up your you know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigma and you're Devin Witherspoons. Those are
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: priorities over your running back position, simply because the history
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: proves that you can't necessarily trust that Ken Walker is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: going to be the guy that he was throughout the
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: playoffs that helped you win a Super Bowl this year.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You like him enough, maybe even love him to some degree,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: but there's the attrition, the amount of damage that a
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: running back takes, combined with that individual's injury history, combined
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: with then the number that you're going to have to
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: put onto that guy. At fourteen million dollars if you
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: were at a franchise tag him just seems beyond where
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: they would want to go. I think that they could
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: like him and say, hey, dude, we'd love to bring
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: him back, and we would love to do it a
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: four year give you that bag that you search for
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: as a professional athlete after you play your first four
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: or five years. We're willing to do it, but we're thinking,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you know, ten million dollars a pop or maybe a
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: little bit above that. We're not going to go up
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: to fourteen, even for one year, and we're not going
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to go up to where maybe someone else would be
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: willing to pay you on the free agent market. So
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: if you want to go get that money, you can
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Here's our number, all right, next one. If the price
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: tag really is two first rounders and Vegas will take Seattle's,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks should trade for Max Crosby.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Max Crosby versus the thirty second pick and whatever next
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: year's Yeah, which I would probably be the thirty second
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: pick again.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Oh look at that. Look at her predicting back to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: back Super Bowl champions Oh wow, how about that one bold? Yeah,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: gez Man, something's going to her head football. Yeah. So yes,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: yeah they should. I'm gonna say yes, I will. I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: think there needs to be a little more hesitation, not
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: maybe such a gung ho feeling about this. I do
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: worry a little bit that his numbers have declined the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: last couple of years and that his injuries have gone up.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, he plays so hard, he's just put a
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: lot of damage on that body, and I don't think
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he knows any other way than to go all out.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: So I wonder if we're getting a declining player at
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: thirty three million dollars and that cap space will get
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: burned up quickly after you've re signed JSN to a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: new deal and Witherspoon, and then if you added Crosby
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and Sam's making over thirty million, and probably by next
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: year we'll be making any even more. It gets pretty
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: crowded pretty quickly in the National Football League. So I'm
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: not entirely sold on it, but I am leaning yes, Jay.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Gavel Gavel Cavil, I am going gung ho on it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: And it's not necessarily because I don't recognize that, Yes,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: he's got some wear and tear on his body, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: it's the he's not going to The motor that he
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: plays with isn't going to change. He's gonna come in
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: here and he's gonna turn it up a notch. He's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: gonna give you something that I don't think you necessarily have,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: as far as a bona fide, legit star edge pass
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: rusher that's going to make everybody else better. And it's
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: not like that was a weak unit. I mean that
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: your defensive line unit was strong. They came together, they
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: played well, they did enough. But I think you all
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: of a sudden bring him in, and you have guys
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: like d Law and Byron Murphy and those guys that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: are on the inside, You're you're not gonna be able
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: to double team those guys. If you do, Max Crosby's
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: gonna go put up some numbers. And I think you're
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: just strengthening something that's already a strength. That defense is
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: what carried the torch. If you will for this, this
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Seahawks team, I think you just say, why not get
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: more awesomer, get awesomer? Yeah, And I think that he
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: does exactly that. He makes you awesomer, He.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Makes you the most awesome.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but then they're saying it correctly. If you
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: use most in front of it, it's just awesomest.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Well, most awesomest is probably not.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: A most awesomer. Yeah, most awesomer.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: We get, by the way, confirmation that d Law is
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: not retiring yet. We haven't gotten that, right, have we? No?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Not confirmation? No, But that is to the idea of
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: your burning up this money. Yeah, you're going to resign
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: a couple of your studs that you have, and then
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: you bring this in and you're burning it up. But
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have some guys like a d Law that
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: are going to go off the books in the coming
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: years where you can kind of keep putting this thing together.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: To me, it's a yes. If they would take your
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: thirty second pick this year and hopefully late next year.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: If not thirty second again, I think you'd do it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe the Kraken aren't ready for a Stanley Cup run,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: but they need to make a significant trade at Friday's
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: deadline and get into the playoffs this season.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: Yes, and yes especially, I mean we've talked about like
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: you've got the Mariners that are, you know, making waves.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: You've got the Seahawks that just won a Super Bowl.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: You're hopefully going to get a basketball team back soon.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: Got to establish your spot here as a successful Seattle
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: sports franchise. We saw a glimmer of the playoffs a
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: couple of years ago and we haven't sniffed it since then.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: And you got to give the hockey fans old and new,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: young and old.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: I'm so when I say old and new, I mean
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: like lifelong hockey fans and people who are just trying
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: to get on board.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: You got to give them something to get excited about
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, and I think it would behoove them
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to understand the culture and recognize the importance of winning now,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: especially with the NBA apparently coming very soon. They don't
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: want to, They don't want to become an afterthought with
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the competition that they're going up against. But also I
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: think just it's just time. Like I get that you're
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: an expansion franchise and you're not all that old. You're
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: still in your infancy. You're still in toddler stage at
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: this point. But how many years do you have to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: watch your team be pretty good but lacking scoring before
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you decide to share things up a little bit and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: move a couple of young players in order to get
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: just more exciting on the ice.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: So I say, yes, gabbl gavel gavel, I'm with you.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I think that it's you know, it's time, but it
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: really is. Okay, how many times are you going to
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: kind of beat your head against the wall with the
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: same thing, right, It's one thing if you've made moves
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: or you've made adjustments, you're changing things. They've changed head coaches,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: but it seems like the same bugaboo. The lack of offensive
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: firepower is the one thing that forces you into streaks
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: where if the guys that you have are struggling to,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: you know, score more than one or two goals, now
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're expecting your keeper, your goalie
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to go out there and not give up anything in
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: order for you to get points. I think you got
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: to go out there and just say, hey, let's go
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: ahead and go for this thing. Because this team, like
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: we watched yesterday, is capable of playing with anybody. They're
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: capable playing with the best. But in order to get
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: it into the playoffs and then be competitive in the playoffs,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I think you have to kind of upgrade a little
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: bit of offensive firepower. So go out and make a move.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: All right, final one and quickly. I think we'll all
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: have pretty unanimous quick responses to this. Anyway, I think
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: we're all in agreement. It's impossible not to think about
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Dick Thane having phone sex in this new ad.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Gvel Gavel, God Gamie, Christmas. Do we re record these?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Come on, Fane, you are a professional, and I one
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: hundred percent think of phone sex every time I hear it,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and because it's not what I want to think of.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: And because of the sweater weather commercials, I always picture
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: him in a turtle, next sweater.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Just turtle nextwa Yeah, well now picture that is just
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: a turtle, next sweater.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Perfect. It's like Perry.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Manilo playing in the background.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Picturing being Crosby doing it. Yeah, why did you have to.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Do that too?
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not supposed to be pure.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Fine, one last thing next on Sports Radio ninety three
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: point three kJ r F.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: M All right, fine, old segment, chuck it back in
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: the morning.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Always time for one last thing before we close out
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a show. So, Bucky, what do you got today?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Somebody texted in, uh, when we were talking about pimp
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and home runs and not pimping home runs, that bo
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Nix pimped his home runs in high school. One time
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: he did cartwheels from second base to third uh, and
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: somersaults all the way home. And I don't believe that person,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: whoever you are, two five three person, I don't believe
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: that for one second.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I believe that that guy looks like a real showboater.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: No, No, he does not.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: He is a true professional spell show boat without bow.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: That's right, then you'd just be.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Not The reason why his name is bo guarantee. It's
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: not show boat. Nix is not what he's called. It
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: is very professional, very strange coincidence. It's not really that
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: strange at all. It just so happens that that it
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: worked out that way. So No, two five three, that
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: is not true. And if it was true, I wouldn't
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: love him as much as I do.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I could make it true true.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well a I can make a lot of things true.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Can make me a showbolder.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: He doesn't seem to be. I'll say that. He seems
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: like he's always had a like a military haircut, yeah right,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and kind of towed the line.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of does. I don't know, like what team
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: players are supposed to do.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: And yet behind the scenes, maybe he's a rascal. He's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the one you're sure you want your daughter to date
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: because he says all the right things and he looks good.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And you find the window.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he's trying to sneak in the way.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think he comes to the
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: front door with flowers for mom. Maybe I don't know,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: a stogy for for the old man.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: I think he says all the right things on the
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: way and then on the way out turns around with
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: his arm around her and gives a little wink.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I'll have her home by eleven.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Don't you worry.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I'll have her own by eleven.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Al Right, is not the Bonnicks I know in love?
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I'll get her home by eleven.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: You think that's your Sam Darnold, is what you're talking about?
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: You shut you talk about Ginger Jesus.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Ashley? What you one last thing?
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: I would just think, like, if you have been in
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: trouble for performance enhancing substances in the past, maybe maybe
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: you would slow it down a little bit on the
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: performance enhancing substances and maybe not get caught again. Drick's
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: in profile, so you could have a one hundred and
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: sixty two game suspension.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like just it's actually one of the things about
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: doing that is that you not only if you stop
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: doing it, you know, physically you fall off a little bit,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: but mentally you convince yourself you can't do it without that.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Well, he apparently convinced himself of that because he's going
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: to miss an entire season.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And when it happened on twice like the first time,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it was like, oh, I didn't know that was on
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the list. Oh yeah, headache medicine at the Walgreens.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, the second time they're like same, headache medicine.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Didn't learn your lesson. I mean, I played with a
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: lot of guys that did steroids, and what you're talking
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: about is one of the truth. There's there is a
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: definitive advantage from what I hear of how strong you
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: are and how much you recover, which is beneficial and
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: when you're playing every single day, but the mental advantage
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: of I got an ace of my sleeve and you
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: don't know it, right, I mean, whether it's pictures especially
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: that were throwing ninety one and come back throwing ninety five. Yeah,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: they feel a little bit different when they're getting ready
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: to rear back and let one rip hitters. The bat
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: feels a little lighter. They feel better day after day.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And then if you all of a sudden are back
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to just your normal self, yeah, you feel inadequate. Yeah
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: it's undergree good, so you should feel.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I don't have any sympathy, yeah, exactly.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: My one last thing. So yesterday I'm watching television. I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: actually I've seen it a couple of times, but I
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: really took it in there was an advertisement for a
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: new detective series on the ABC called RJ.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Decker seen Scott Speedman, Scott Speedman.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Scott Speedman. I don't know who Scott
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Speedman is, but you apparently do.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: But in Felicity Blue Crush, Oh, I see.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: So he's got a new private investigator series out called RJ. Decker,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And it really did dawn on me. I'm fifty four
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: years old. I've I've been around, talked to a lot
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: of people, met a lot of people, you know, had
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: different sort of exchanges in my life. I have never
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: once met a private investigator, like in my lifetime. Maybe
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: they're hiding it, I don't know, but I've never once
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: met a private investigator. And yet since the year nineteen
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: seventy five, I'm pretty sure that like forty five percent
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: of television programming is based around a private investigator.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah you notice that that's true.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I forty five percent of shows since nineteen seventy five,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: I've been private investigator shows. And they're always handsome or
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: beautiful every single time they're you know, they're a good
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: looking person. Which I also if I did meet a
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: private investigator, my guess is he wouldn't.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Be Oh no, no. In order to get into PIU,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: you have to be a good looking Everybody knows that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: The last two shows I watched, actually the pis were
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: not good looking, and they had very junkie cars, and
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: they were kind of Hordish.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I know they exist. You don't get me wrong.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I just like, if you watch just television, it's like
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: quicksand we had the conversation yesterday, you would guess that
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: there was a private investigator around every corner, like what
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: are you? I'm an accountant and you private investigator?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And you wouldn't want to be a good
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: looking one. You want to be somebody that people don't
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: really want to look at make eye contact with. That's
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: how you stay private. You're hot investigator. People like you
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: see her?
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: What then they all want to talk to you, and
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: you're like, no, I'm trying to stalk you from trying
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: to be incognito.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Will You're too beautiful for that.
