0:10
Speaker 2: Good morning? Happy birthday joining I would not be joining
0:14
Speaker 2: you tomorrow morning tod eight am, you know, as tonight's
0:17
Speaker 2: celebration might be a little bit more fun. But yeah, weh.
0:23
Speaker 2: I appreciate the birthday wishes on the sink of the
0:28
Speaker 2: myo theme as well.
0:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean did you incorporate the two when you
0:32
Speaker 1: were at Arizona? And do you still do it to
0:34
Speaker 1: this day? Like do you put a big candle in
0:37
Speaker 1: like an enchilada or anything like that.
0:40
Speaker 2: I do incorporate the too. I usually do a candle
0:43
Speaker 2: in the caseout. I'm a big caseo guys, so it's
0:46
Speaker 2: a wodby caso. I have a nice little candle right
0:48
Speaker 2: next to it.
0:49
Speaker 1: Always were you greeted this morning with birthday wishes like
0:53
Speaker 1: breakfast in bed, anything special today for you?
0:57
Speaker 2: I had plenty of birthday wishes. The amber and the
1:01
Speaker 2: girls left yesterday. We were here all weekends celebrating and
1:06
Speaker 2: I am excited to enjoy my birthday today at the office.
1:11
Speaker 1: Oh, I see with Margarita's sure later in the day.
1:19
Speaker 1: All right, we'll call you at six am tomorrow and
1:21
Speaker 1: see how you're doing.
1:22
Speaker 2: How does that sound?
1:25
Speaker 1: Jedfish is with us, the birthday boy himself here on
1:29
Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the morning. Well, I'm glad you
1:31
Speaker 1: spend a few minutes with us. We greatly appreciate it
1:34
Speaker 1: here on your big day and of course Friday night,
1:37
Speaker 1: big day with dogs after dark. I want to start
1:41
Speaker 1: with this. Let's get it out of the way. But
1:43
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk about the disappointing crowd.
1:46
Speaker 1: How did you react to the numbers that showed up
1:49
Speaker 1: on Friday night?
1:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't disappointed at all. I thought for a
1:54
Speaker 2: spring game, it was a great crowd. You know. I'm
1:59
Speaker 2: hopeful get to a place where, you know, the whole
2:04
Speaker 2: lower ball and people go up top for a spring game.
2:08
Speaker 2: But I think it's hard to get that sort of
2:10
Speaker 2: motivation anymore. But we're going to always continue to put
2:15
Speaker 2: on a game as long as we can. And I
2:18
Speaker 2: thought that for a spring game that was that was
2:21
Speaker 2: a good turnout.
2:22
Speaker 1: All right, good? Are you are you considering adjusting it
2:25
Speaker 1: at all in the future. There were some we talked
2:28
Speaker 1: about a little bit yesterday. Some people said just on
2:30
Speaker 1: a Friday, making that drive going into Friday night traffic.
2:35
Speaker 1: It was just something that kind of talked me out
2:38
Speaker 1: of it. Is there any thought about maybe doing it
2:40
Speaker 1: Saturday in the future or just adjusting the schedule at all.
2:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I think the problem was, you know, back
2:48
Speaker 2: when I first got hired here three years ago, the
2:52
Speaker 2: plan was to do it on a Saturday at noon,
2:57
Speaker 2: is what we did at Arizona the last you know,
3:01
Speaker 2: but the Window Bear Cup was Saturday at noon, so
3:04
Speaker 2: you can't do it on that Saturday, and then to
3:07
Speaker 2: a justice schedule to do it the week before becomes
3:10
Speaker 2: a little more complicated because we're a quarter school and
3:14
Speaker 2: I like a certain rhythm of practice and I don't
3:17
Speaker 2: like to take a break between practice and spring break
3:21
Speaker 2: and then come back. So the way you can get
3:24
Speaker 2: five weeks in and three days a week, it's always
3:27
Speaker 2: going to fall on the Friday night of Window Bear Cup.
3:30
Speaker 2: So you know, that's kind of how it's been going. Now.
3:35
Speaker 2: If things change in regards to the rules, which they
3:39
Speaker 2: change every year and the calendar, you know, then we'll
3:43
Speaker 2: make more of an adjustment. But I was happy. I
3:46
Speaker 2: thought that there was a good feel, a good vibe
3:51
Speaker 2: spring practice. It is kind of what I was expecting.
3:55
Speaker 2: I know, you know, it kind of got I love
3:58
Speaker 2: the fact that the standards changed. I think when I
4:00
Speaker 2: got here, they said about six hundred people used to
4:02
Speaker 2: come to the spring game. Yeah, so the fact that
4:05
Speaker 2: you know, we should have that many thousands of people
4:08
Speaker 2: and then we still are looking for more is pretty awesome.
4:10
Speaker 1: All right, Jeed Fish, that's good to hear a head
4:13
Speaker 1: coach of the Washington Huskies football program joining us here
4:16
Speaker 1: this morning. So from a football standpoint, what did you
4:20
Speaker 1: see on Friday? I mean, did you feel like you
4:22
Speaker 1: got everything you wanted to get out of it in
4:25
Speaker 1: terms of the practice the game itself.
4:28
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I mean, for me, the spring game is
4:31
Speaker 2: really for the families of our players and for the
4:33
Speaker 2: players themselves, and it's also for the fans to just
4:38
Speaker 2: be able to see all the different names and all
4:41
Speaker 2: the different kids that are here. We split the teams
4:44
Speaker 2: up in half. We don't ever go ones versus ones
4:47
Speaker 2: in the spring game. The teams are you know, completely
4:53
Speaker 2: shifted around. So you know, I don't use it as
4:57
Speaker 2: an evaluation at all, just because there's really no one
5:01
Speaker 2: that's ever run with anybody. The whole spring are now
5:04
Speaker 2: running together, and that's challenging. So I use it more
5:09
Speaker 2: for opportunities to make sure that all eighty seven or
5:13
Speaker 2: well we had eighty seven players were capable of getting
5:16
Speaker 2: in the game, got in the game, and everybody that's
5:20
Speaker 2: willing and able to participate participate. And then if we
5:24
Speaker 2: could have some fun along the way, that's great. Give
5:27
Speaker 2: coaches a chance that don't usually call the game, call
5:32
Speaker 2: the game and make it fun.
5:35
Speaker 1: And you achieved it. You had fun for it.
5:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I had a blast. I thought that. I mean,
5:41
Speaker 2: all the feedback we got was great. Our kids were happy,
5:44
Speaker 2: our parents. You know, you got some parents that are
5:46
Speaker 2: flying all the way across the country, you know, and
5:50
Speaker 2: their kids a true freshmen or whatnot. So the ability
5:53
Speaker 2: to get them in front of a crowd and play
5:55
Speaker 2: some ball in that uniform is a big deal. You know.
5:59
Speaker 2: I see so many programs going to this like Carnival
6:03
Speaker 2: atmosphere where they're just like barely touching each other and
6:07
Speaker 2: you know, doing a bunch of drill work, Like that's
6:11
Speaker 2: not really for me, right, that's for practice. But if
6:15
Speaker 2: you're gonna fly across the country. We're gonna have a
6:17
Speaker 2: parent's weekend. You might as well see your son ripped
6:20
Speaker 2: the ball around a little bit, or catch the ball
6:22
Speaker 2: over the middle or block somebody.
6:24
Speaker 1: Did you have somebody that did something that was eye
6:27
Speaker 1: opening a run or a pass play or a pass
6:31
Speaker 1: rusher or anything that did catch your eye on Friday night?
6:37
Speaker 2: Well, I think Rashid Williams is just continuing to have
6:40
Speaker 2: the best spring that he's had since we've been here.
6:43
Speaker 2: And you know, he made three really good catches in
6:46
Speaker 2: the game, and you know it's sometimes a little bit
6:50
Speaker 2: pressure pack when you're running wide open and you get
6:53
Speaker 2: a ball thrown from three yards down the field, And
6:56
Speaker 2: I thought it just really has handled himself really well
6:58
Speaker 2: this whole spring. So that was fun to see. I
7:01
Speaker 2: thought that, you know, we've got like easy Tokyo had
7:07
Speaker 2: a nice night at number forty. I thought that I
7:12
Speaker 2: love the guys like Jacob Monu, who's been in you know,
7:15
Speaker 2: five spring games with me, is still you know, playing
7:19
Speaker 2: as hard as he possibly can in the ten reps
7:22
Speaker 2: of the AD. So I don't know. I just thought
7:25
Speaker 2: that everybody had a good, good moments at bad moments
7:28
Speaker 2: and learned moments they could learn from.
7:31
Speaker 1: Jedfish is with us. He's taking time away from birthday
7:35
Speaker 1: cake and truros to celebrate with us here on Chucking
7:39
Speaker 1: Buck in the mornings to talk to some you dub football.
7:41
Speaker 1: So one hundred and fourteen days until the college football
7:44
Speaker 1: season begins, So you're a long way away. What has
7:48
Speaker 1: to get accomplished for Jedfish here in the next three
7:51
Speaker 1: and a half four months to get you ready for
7:53
Speaker 1: the start of the season.
7:56
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Well, everything is uh is. It needs to improve.
8:04
Speaker 2: Everything needs to improve, and we need to get you know,
8:08
Speaker 2: a little bit faster, a little bit stronger. We got
8:11
Speaker 2: to get healthier. We had you know, we had ten
8:14
Speaker 2: guys that were out for all of spring due to
8:16
Speaker 2: surgeries from the off season. We could get all ten
8:21
Speaker 2: of those guys back, So that'll really add to, you know,
8:25
Speaker 2: to our ability to training camp. I'd love to see,
8:30
Speaker 2: you know, everybody take that next step in terms of
8:33
Speaker 2: understanding the system. You know, we play with a lot
8:36
Speaker 2: of young guys because of the way our roster is built.
8:38
Speaker 2: So the whole summer they're going to have to learn
8:41
Speaker 2: the playbook better, less mistakes and you know, more of
8:46
Speaker 2: more crisp practices. But that's what the summers for, and
8:50
Speaker 2: that's what training camps for.
8:52
Speaker 1: Are you still I mean? And when it comes to demand,
8:56
Speaker 1: what did you see out of him on Friday? And
8:59
Speaker 1: and what is it in terms of his cohesion with
9:03
Speaker 1: a bunch of new faces. That is the key to
9:06
Speaker 1: having him get off to a great start this year.
9:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, he's continuing to evolve as
9:15
Speaker 2: a player. I let him be the play caller for
9:18
Speaker 2: the third quarter and that was fun watching what plays
9:21
Speaker 2: he chose and drove him down and scored a touchdown
9:24
Speaker 2: with Keeny, So that was that was cool. I think
9:28
Speaker 2: that you know, he needs to Christian Moss really didn't
9:32
Speaker 2: participate in springball. Chris Lawson barely participated. Jordan Clay missed
9:39
Speaker 2: the last eight practices. You start, you know, Bob Tenon
9:43
Speaker 2: Miller had about four practices and that's it. So we
9:47
Speaker 2: got four wide receivers that we got to get on
9:49
Speaker 2: the same page, tight ends. We got to continue to
9:53
Speaker 2: get better there with Decker and company and Baron Naoni
9:57
Speaker 2: and you know, these guys are ones that you know
10:00
Speaker 2: just finishes true freshman year. Roebuck is you know now
10:03
Speaker 2: in the slot, the offensive line is pretty you know, veteran,
10:07
Speaker 2: but Cody's the first first year player, so he's got
10:10
Speaker 2: to get a good comfort level with him. So I
10:13
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of different avenues we gotta go.
10:15
Speaker 2: We got to find a running back right now. You know,
10:19
Speaker 2: we have Jaden Lamar who's been in a boot. He's
10:21
Speaker 2: finally out of the boot. He'll be practicing starting in June.
10:26
Speaker 2: Trey Cooley won't be cleared probably till August. Brian Bonner,
10:32
Speaker 2: you know, we got to see what Quaid car you know,
10:34
Speaker 2: more and more routs of Klaid. We got to see
10:36
Speaker 2: if Jordan Washington to come back. So there's a lot
10:39
Speaker 2: of work to be had here that really affects the
10:42
Speaker 2: outcome for how well Demand plays.
10:44
Speaker 1: Now Cody is is he locked in at left tackle
10:48
Speaker 1: at this point? And then beyond that, what do you
10:51
Speaker 1: have to see? I mean, I know Jordan Clay gets
10:53
Speaker 1: a lot of attention right now and a few other freshmen,
10:56
Speaker 1: but what is it that Jedfish needs to see out
10:58
Speaker 1: of a freshman before he's earned quality playing time in
11:03
Speaker 1: his program.
11:06
Speaker 2: I got to see that they don't look like a freshman.
11:09
Speaker 2: I got to see that they're capable of being able
11:14
Speaker 2: to handle a fourth year player that there that they
11:18
Speaker 2: have a their anxiety level is low and their talent
11:21
Speaker 2: level is high, and then also be able to see
11:26
Speaker 2: that they can be consistent in their actions. You know,
11:29
Speaker 2: right now, I see that out of Cody, I see
11:32
Speaker 2: that out of Derek Brusa. I'm beginning to see that
11:34
Speaker 2: out of Ramzach Frewin. I see that out of Jaron Jones.
11:38
Speaker 2: You know, those are the four guys right now that
11:40
Speaker 2: I see that are consistent in their actions, that can
11:44
Speaker 2: handle being a freshman and playing in the Big Ten.
11:49
Speaker 2: You know, So Cody, Derek, Ramzac, Jaron, and then we
11:53
Speaker 2: got to see who else steps in in that same scenarios.
11:57
Speaker 1: Jet Fish is whether it's right or on that Chuck
11:59
Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning, coming off dogs after dark
12:01
Speaker 1: on Friday, and still a long way away from the
12:04
Speaker 1: start of the college football season. But obviously a lot
12:07
Speaker 1: of work to do on that front. And so what
12:11
Speaker 1: is next? What is next on your events that you
12:15
Speaker 1: have to participate in this offseason because you're not going
12:19
Speaker 1: to have another spring game, So what are you preparing
12:21
Speaker 1: for next? Coach?
12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all of our coaches are out on the
12:26
Speaker 2: road recruiting for the next fourteen days, and I'm on
12:31
Speaker 2: the fundraising campaign. Okay, so I'm all all over the
12:36
Speaker 2: West Coast at different places. We all come back together
12:39
Speaker 2: and the off season program begins. Our players will start
12:44
Speaker 2: lifting and running, Our coaches will start working on self
12:48
Speaker 2: scouting cut ups and teach s tapes. Recruiting weekends will begin.
12:52
Speaker 2: Official visits will start being held at our home starting
12:56
Speaker 2: May twenty nine through June twenty first, and then we'll
12:59
Speaker 2: have some camps for all the local community. We'll have
13:03
Speaker 2: a couple of camps for kids to come to, and
13:06
Speaker 2: then we'll take a little break of the action in
13:09
Speaker 2: the first three weeks of July, and then we'll get
13:12
Speaker 2: back to it and then see how good we could
13:14
Speaker 2: become as a you know, as a team in our
13:18
Speaker 2: third year.
13:18
Speaker 1: All right, sounds great. Well, thank you very much for
13:21
Speaker 1: joining us here this morning. I hope that I hope
13:25
Speaker 1: you just have the greatest birthday in the world. You know,
13:28
Speaker 1: maybe thank you, Yeah, maybe you know, Jonah Coleman comes
13:32
Speaker 1: back to surprise you, jumps out of a cake or
13:34
Speaker 1: something for you, and that that'd be great for you.
13:37
Speaker 1: So uh have a great time with it all. Exactly
13:41
Speaker 1: what I'm hoping that's exists.
13:42
Speaker 2: Exactly what I'm.
13:45
Speaker 1: I figured. Yeah, it's surprises, That's what it's all about
13:48
Speaker 1: on a birthday. Uh, So have a great birthday and
13:50
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you soon.
13:51
Speaker 2: All right, thanks?
13:53
Speaker 3: All right?
13:54
Speaker 1: Yes, Jetfish joining us right here on the program as
13:58
Speaker 1: the Washington Huskies wrapped dogs after dark. And he's got
14:02
Speaker 1: a big birthday coming up. How about that? The guy
14:04
Speaker 1: that has everything? What else is it?
14:06
Speaker 4: I also think that somehow it works out that we
14:09
Speaker 4: have talked to him. At least this is the second
14:11
Speaker 4: year in a row that we've talked to him on
14:12
Speaker 4: his birthday.
14:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. And do you think he just likes being part
14:16
Speaker 1: of our life.
14:16
Speaker 4: I think he thinks, how can I celebrate my birthday?
14:19
Speaker 4: That will make it really special. I want to start
14:21
Speaker 4: off the morning with Chuck and Buck and Ashley.
14:23
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if I would give ourselves that
14:26
Speaker 1: much credit, but I'll say this, this is a fact
14:29
Speaker 1: he doesn't think we take away from his birthday.
14:31
Speaker 5: That's true.
14:32
Speaker 1: Otherwise, I mean Jetfish could easily tell us bug off,
14:35
Speaker 1: it's my birthday. Yeah, he could tell us bug off,
14:38
Speaker 1: it's not my birthday.
14:39
Speaker 4: Yeah. And the only reason I remember is because of
14:42
Speaker 4: the Sinko Demiyo thing, because we've had conversations with him
14:44
Speaker 4: about holidays and Sinko Demayo is his favorite because it's
14:48
Speaker 4: his birthday.
14:48
Speaker 2: Mmmm.
14:49
Speaker 4: And I think we talked to him either last year
14:51
Speaker 4: or the year before on his birthday as well.
14:53
Speaker 3: Well.
14:53
Speaker 1: Sino Demayo in Arizona is just a completely different express. Oh,
14:56
Speaker 1: I'm sure so if he I mean, have you celebrated
15:01
Speaker 1: Sinco demio much here?
15:03
Speaker 4: I mean like going out for tacos and margarita's that's
15:06
Speaker 4: about it.
15:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, but never like to a concert.
15:08
Speaker 2: Nope.
15:09
Speaker 1: Okay, so that happens all the time in Phoenix. Now,
15:12
Speaker 1: I haven't spent much time in Tucson where Jed was
15:15
Speaker 1: hanging out. But in Arizona, I mean it is like,
15:18
Speaker 1: stop what you're doing. If you don't have Cinco DeMaio plans,
15:21
Speaker 1: you're a loser. Oh you know that sort of thing.
15:23
Speaker 1: So it's just a completely different experience down there. So,
15:27
Speaker 1: you know, Jed living in Florida, I don't know what
15:29
Speaker 1: it's like in Florida. Maybe when he got to Arizona. Oh,
15:34
Speaker 1: suddenly I have to attach myself to Sinco demil. My
15:39
Speaker 1: birthday falls on the fifth of May, so I have
15:41
Speaker 1: to attach myself to Cinco Demyo. And now now it
15:45
Speaker 1: sounds like he willingly like it took his birthday celebrations
15:49
Speaker 1: to a.
15:49
Speaker 2: Whole new level.
15:49
Speaker 4: I mean, I love that he was like, I'm glad
15:51
Speaker 4: we're not talking tomorrow, or we wouldn't be talking tomorrow
15:53
Speaker 4: because tonight's gonna be a lot more fun.
15:55
Speaker 5: I'm like, thank you for being honest. That'd be the
15:58
Speaker 5: same one.
15:58
Speaker 1: Well, I mean think about it. I mean, as long
16:00
Speaker 1: as you like it, as long as you're just not
16:02
Speaker 1: one like my sister, like I'm born on December twenty
16:05
Speaker 1: ninth and it's too close to Christmas and nobody pays
16:08
Speaker 1: attention to me. As long as you don't carry that
16:11
Speaker 1: kind of powdy. I can't believe my birthday's on the
16:14
Speaker 1: same day as Sinko Tomo and everybody wants to just
16:17
Speaker 1: have Margarita's and I hate margaritas. H if you if
16:20
Speaker 1: you kind of embrace it and view it as and
16:23
Speaker 1: it sounds like Jeded, does you just view it as,
16:26
Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't have to think about any kind
16:28
Speaker 1: of a menu or anything.
16:30
Speaker 5: And everyone's up for a little bit of a get together.
16:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean everything's already mapped out for me. I'm
16:36
Speaker 1: drinking Margarita's tonight. I'm having I'm having a churro with
16:40
Speaker 1: the you know, with a candle in it.
16:41
Speaker 5: I do love a till channel in the caso though.
16:45
Speaker 1: Right, And so I think that it sounds like he's
16:48
Speaker 1: learned to embrace the two coming together. And I think
16:52
Speaker 1: that'd be a pretty fun holiday to have my birthday on.
16:55
Speaker 4: I agree, Sinco to Chucko, that doesn't have the same
16:59
Speaker 4: ring to it though, not to you, no.
17:02
Speaker 1: But to me. I can already picture it on all
17:04
Speaker 1: the banners.
17:05
Speaker 5: I think you should just start.
17:06
Speaker 1: Well, I can picture myself going to Caractice and it
17:08
Speaker 1: just says Sinco to Chucko.
17:10
Speaker 4: About just quatro to Chucko, just starts making your own
17:13
Speaker 4: birthday celebration.
17:14
Speaker 1: That's true, but that, yeah, but don't we all have
17:17
Speaker 1: the opportunity to.
17:18
Speaker 5: Do I'm on the fifteenth. I can't do that. That
17:20
Speaker 5: doesn't even.
17:21
Speaker 1: Well, you just create your own though, yeah, according to
17:23
Speaker 1: what you're saying, yeah, create your own holiday around it.
17:26
Speaker 1: But you're I'm going to infiltrate a real holiday. But
17:29
Speaker 1: I'm saying you could something I've never done before.
17:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, never, You've never like just blonded onto another holiday
17:35
Speaker 4: and try to make it a big thing. Right, But
17:38
Speaker 4: like Sinco to Checko or Quatro to Checko works, I
17:43
Speaker 4: can't be like ash leo.
17:45
Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you mean.
17:46
Speaker 5: So it works for you.
17:48
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, Well anyway.
17:51
Speaker 4: I can't wait to celebrate Quatro to check O.
17:54
Speaker 1: Well, well, I'm not sure what we're going to serve
17:56
Speaker 1: just yet, that time to think about it, because it
17:59
Speaker 1: sounds like everybody well already, I mean Quatro to Chucko
18:02
Speaker 1: would be the day before, right yeah. Yeah, so I
18:06
Speaker 1: mean I guess I could ruin everybody's appetiteers and still
18:10
Speaker 1: sell Mexican food, not sell, but have it, have it.
18:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's great.
18:14
Speaker 1: That seems unfair because now I got now people got
18:17
Speaker 1: to do two days of it.
18:18
Speaker 2: In a row.
18:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
18:19
Speaker 1: Although yeah, so yeah, I could go anywhere. If I
18:25
Speaker 1: do it on another day, I can pretty much go anywhere.
18:27
Speaker 1: I thought I was thinking. The beauty of it was
18:29
Speaker 1: is that the menu was already taking care of you.
18:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and I think you could still Yeah, if
18:32
Speaker 4: you're going the menu's taking care of if you go
18:34
Speaker 4: to Quato, but you could do Sinco because how old
18:36
Speaker 4: are you going to be this year?
18:37
Speaker 1: I'm going to be the double nickel this year.
18:39
Speaker 5: Yeh see, so that's two sincos, that's right. So you
18:42
Speaker 5: really could go Sinco to Chucko.
18:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could. And by the way, I did appreciate.
18:48
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't know if this is
18:50
Speaker 1: protecting the programmer what, but to ask Jet about the
18:57
Speaker 1: the attendance on Friday and not only you know, I
19:01
Speaker 1: kind of thought I was gonna get Yeah, I was
19:03
Speaker 1: a little disappointing, but this is you know, I understand why,
19:06
Speaker 1: and this is what we're gonna do. But for him
19:08
Speaker 1: to say I was actually really liked the atmosphere. I
19:12
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I thought we had a good turnout. And
19:15
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I think when people throw out
19:20
Speaker 1: an expectation of forty thousand, yeah, and you hear that
19:24
Speaker 1: and then it ends up being fifteen, it looks like
19:26
Speaker 1: an utter disaster.
19:28
Speaker 5: Right.
19:29
Speaker 1: So I don't even know where the forty thousand number
19:31
Speaker 1: even came from, and maybe it came from Jed for
19:35
Speaker 1: all I know, But that looks like a disaster if
19:38
Speaker 1: you put it next to an LSU spring game or
19:41
Speaker 1: a Alabama spring game. It's gonna look like there's no
19:44
Speaker 1: way around it. It's going to just pale in comparison
19:47
Speaker 1: to that. But for Jed's response to be, I don't
19:49
Speaker 1: know what all the hubbub is about. I was happy
19:51
Speaker 1: with the way Friday. I love the energy, I loved
19:54
Speaker 1: the event, and certainly there wasn't much to take away
19:58
Speaker 1: from it from a football stamp point. It was more
20:01
Speaker 1: of just an opportunity to, you know, let the players
20:07
Speaker 1: kind of play in front of some fans. Yeah, families
20:10
Speaker 1: get invited, you know, fans get a little taste of
20:13
Speaker 1: what's coming up for the upcoming year. But they're obviously,
20:17
Speaker 1: you know, not solving a lot of questions at the
20:21
Speaker 1: spring game at this point. So I was a little surprised.
20:24
Speaker 1: I kind of thought I was going to hear Yeah,
20:26
Speaker 1: I was a little disappointing, and I think maybe we
20:29
Speaker 1: could do this in the future to change it up
20:31
Speaker 1: a little bit. But he sounded somebody that was content
20:34
Speaker 1: with what went down on Friday.
20:35
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and also his explanations for why they couldn't
20:37
Speaker 4: put it on a Saturday or the way it works out, well,
20:39
Speaker 4: it makes a lot of sense that it works out
20:41
Speaker 4: that way. We did get a text on the Takoma
20:43
Speaker 4: Dodge text line from two oh six. He said, I
20:45
Speaker 4: like Jed. He's good for the program. Also, he's right
20:47
Speaker 4: about the spring game. The crowd was pretty energetic on
20:49
Speaker 4: Friday night. It wasn't the biggest crowd, but they were
20:51
Speaker 4: definitely cheering.
20:52
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right. Coming up next, Greg Bell's going
20:54
Speaker 1: to join us. We sent out the Bell signal we
20:57
Speaker 1: have a Seahawks signing today. We'll get to his thought
21:00
Speaker 1: on Dante Fowler Junior. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
21:04
Speaker 6: Brought to you by Copola Diamond Collection Prosecco, Chris Sparkling
21:09
Speaker 6: with bright fruit flavors to make every toast shine Game
21:12
Speaker 6: Day bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco. Now with clunk
21:17
Speaker 6: Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Buke.
21:22
Speaker 1: Breaking news earlier in the show, the Seahawks that made
21:25
Speaker 1: a signing today. They added Dante Fowler Junior, something that
21:29
Speaker 1: we've been discussing with our next guest for a while now,
21:33
Speaker 1: and now I suppose it has been made official that
21:38
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler is joining the Seahawks. So we sent out
21:41
Speaker 1: the Bell signal he's going to be on at ten
21:43
Speaker 1: o'clock today talking about this, I'm sure, but joining us
21:47
Speaker 1: now to give us what he's heard is our Seahawks
21:50
Speaker 1: insider Greg Bell. Hello, sir, good morning.
21:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for not calling me at seven when I
21:56
Speaker 3: was writing.
21:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well we finally, you know, finally got around
22:01
Speaker 1: to being able to discuss this with you here today,
22:04
Speaker 1: So it worked out well for both of us. So
22:07
Speaker 1: what do we know? What are we hearing? What do
22:09
Speaker 1: we got on Dante Fowler to the Seahawks.
22:12
Speaker 3: Well, it's not official, the teams yet to announce it,
22:16
Speaker 3: but his agents have let it known that Fowler is
22:20
Speaker 3: going to sign a one year deal. Looks like with incentives, performances, sacks,
22:25
Speaker 3: playing time, it could get up dollars. He's going into
22:30
Speaker 3: his age thirty two seasons. Turns thirty two in August,
22:34
Speaker 3: three sacks in seventeen games with the second stint with
22:37
Speaker 3: the Cowboys last year, but the year before that his
22:40
Speaker 3: age thirty season with Dan Quinn's Washington Commanders ten and
22:44
Speaker 3: a half sacks, fourteen tackles for losses. So he's still
22:49
Speaker 3: got something worth checking out. I'm going to talk to
22:52
Speaker 3: a Cowboys beat writer Nick Harris at Fort Worth Start
22:55
Speaker 3: Telegram at eleven o'clock about what he saw from Fowler
22:58
Speaker 3: last year with the Cowboys. But yeah, we've been talking
23:02
Speaker 3: about this. It's the one position that they lost in
23:05
Speaker 3: free agency with boy Mafy signing with the Bengals that
23:08
Speaker 3: they did not replenish in the draft. So this has
23:11
Speaker 3: been something in the works for a few weeks and
23:14
Speaker 3: this is why they saved their cap space. People keep
23:17
Speaker 3: saying why do they have thirty two or aren't they spend
23:19
Speaker 3: it so they can make moves like this so they
23:21
Speaker 3: can make a trade, so they can re up Devin
23:23
Speaker 3: Witherspoon around training camp. This is a pretty turn key
23:28
Speaker 3: off season. Yeah, lose Reek Wallen draft three corners. Yeah,
23:33
Speaker 3: Lo's Kobe Bryant drafted safety in the second round. Now
23:37
Speaker 3: losing that and lose Kenneth Walker draft to lead running back.
23:40
Speaker 3: Now this for edge rushing, So it was still a
23:43
Speaker 3: need for this team edge rusher to really important spot.
23:47
Speaker 1: I mean, is it just a one for one Mafe
23:49
Speaker 1: replacement or is it is he used in a different way?
23:54
Speaker 1: Are his skills now used differently at this stage in
23:58
Speaker 1: his career?
23:59
Speaker 3: Well, this stage career, you would expect he's going to
24:01
Speaker 3: be a pass rush specialist, not someone you can count
24:04
Speaker 3: on and run support. Mafey was often an early down
24:07
Speaker 3: guy that at times they replaced in their sub packages
24:11
Speaker 3: with Nick emn Worry and whatnot in any emergence of
24:15
Speaker 3: the Marcus Lawrence and opposite side of Mafey Derek Halls.
24:20
Speaker 3: So it doesn't seem to be a one for one
24:23
Speaker 3: role spot and that's why they may not be done.
24:26
Speaker 3: And there is some concern with Mike McDonald's defense without
24:31
Speaker 3: run outside, which is exactly why they drafted the type
24:36
Speaker 3: of corners and safety Bud Clark that they drafted tacklers first,
24:41
Speaker 3: or tacklers primarily corners who are not mind tackling at all,
24:44
Speaker 3: in Julian Neil's case, a third round pick. But if
24:49
Speaker 3: you're not a run support guy, then your role is
24:52
Speaker 3: going to be a very specialized and limited one. And
24:55
Speaker 3: it appears both in contract value length and role that
24:59
Speaker 3: follow will be a pass rust specialty specialist and not
25:03
Speaker 3: exactly what Boyemoth they was, all.
25:05
Speaker 1: Right, So just yeah, so that pretty much puts you
25:09
Speaker 1: just in pass wresting situations. Then you don't think that
25:12
Speaker 1: there's an expanded role here at all. I mean we're
25:14
Speaker 1: looking at somebody that is just a bit part player
25:17
Speaker 1: on this team for this year.
25:20
Speaker 3: Well, yes and no. I mean he's two hundred and
25:23
Speaker 3: sixty one pounds, which is really good for size for
25:27
Speaker 3: Sanbecker that you could put on the line of scrimmage
25:29
Speaker 3: as a run support guy. But at his age thirty two,
25:32
Speaker 3: and with how McDonald varies his defense in corners and
25:37
Speaker 3: emon worry and all, they don't need Falor to be
25:42
Speaker 3: that right now. They've got youth speed to be more
25:46
Speaker 3: run support outside. They might have to get creative with
25:48
Speaker 3: the roster states as it is now, but it's more
25:51
Speaker 3: than a bit role to sign an edge rusher if
25:53
Speaker 3: he gives you sacks, because pressures and sacks are the
25:56
Speaker 3: name of the game on defense. This isn't just a
26:00
Speaker 3: very bit position. This is a very important position in
26:03
Speaker 3: this league. They had to address it. They have addressed it,
26:07
Speaker 3: but like I said, I'm not quite sure they're done
26:10
Speaker 3: there either, all.
26:10
Speaker 1: Right, Greg Belvis with us, I mean they wouldn't. Joey
26:14
Speaker 1: Bosa was another name out there. I mean, we're not
26:16
Speaker 1: talking about getting two veteran guys here. I mean that's
26:19
Speaker 1: not something that would be in the equation, would it good?
26:23
Speaker 3: They still have twenty eightish thirty million dollars in cap space. Again,
26:28
Speaker 3: some of that will go to Witherspoon. The process continues,
26:32
Speaker 3: There'll be salary, salary, cap cut guys and training camp.
26:39
Speaker 3: If they seen the fishing still at pass rush, John
26:42
Speaker 3: Schneider will explore making a trade in October. They have
26:46
Speaker 3: the money and flexibility to do that. And I don't
26:50
Speaker 3: think they're done at all. It's a dressers and run
26:54
Speaker 3: support outside guys, and it could be a veteran that
26:58
Speaker 3: comes after laden training camp it gets cut.
27:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, are there any of that? I mean when
27:04
Speaker 1: I hear about the Seahawks and and some guys that
27:08
Speaker 1: could step up into bigger roles. So you hear the
27:11
Speaker 1: names out there, a few of them that that have
27:17
Speaker 1: been floated around. Finley is one of them. And and
27:22
Speaker 1: then Riley Mills will play a bigger role this upcoming year.
27:26
Speaker 1: You know, uh me and I a Pritchett that we
27:28
Speaker 1: already knew he was on the roster from this past year,
27:31
Speaker 1: but he might play a bigger role this upcoming year.
27:34
Speaker 1: Are there any of those young guys at the edge
27:38
Speaker 1: spot that seem like they could see an expanded role
27:42
Speaker 1: this year with a good camp.
27:45
Speaker 3: Jared Ivy Connor O'Toole. Those are two guys in particular
27:49
Speaker 3: that Mike McDonald's really looking. Ivy undrafted rookie last year
27:52
Speaker 3: linebacker that impressed them in training camp. There was a
27:56
Speaker 3: reason they kept Ivy on the active roster not on
28:00
Speaker 3: the practice squad all season. They were afraid of losing
28:04
Speaker 3: him through waivers to another team who realized the Seahawks
28:07
Speaker 3: got a coup last year with Ivy as an undrafted
28:10
Speaker 3: rookie free agent. So if you put him on practice squad,
28:13
Speaker 3: you got exposing the waivers. And then if he's on
28:15
Speaker 3: the practice squad, any team could add him to the
28:17
Speaker 3: active roster. And the Seahawks, even though they made him inactive,
28:21
Speaker 3: I think for every game, they kept him on the
28:23
Speaker 3: active roster just so they wouldn't lose him. So there's
28:26
Speaker 3: a reason they did that, and we may find out
28:28
Speaker 3: that reason this summer and fall.
28:29
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you got Kid on your show. He's
28:31
Speaker 1: a dad's a big cowboy fan. He might show up
28:34
Speaker 1: in a Fowler junior jersey here too.
28:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:36
Speaker 3: He was exciting. He said, well, I'm to interview him
28:41
Speaker 3: at eleven o'clock. But yeah, exactly. Yeah, he's made two
28:46
Speaker 3: different stints of the Cowboys. This first stint two years
28:49
Speaker 3: was when Iden Dirty was the defensive line coach for Dallas.
28:52
Speaker 3: In fact, Fowler's been three seasons with Dirty, including one
28:56
Speaker 3: with the Atlanta Falcons when Dirty was the offensive or
28:59
Speaker 3: was the outside I'm record coach. So that's another reason
29:01
Speaker 3: why he's here.
29:02
Speaker 1: Probably was right about Lawrence, Maybe he's right about foul.
29:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're probably listening to him about his
29:08
Speaker 3: Cowboys guys. They might want to sign after what Lawrence
29:11
Speaker 3: did for him.
29:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lawrence probably gave him the thumbs up as well,
29:15
Speaker 1: having been teammates in the past. All right, so what
29:18
Speaker 1: else we have for ten o'clock today? We're going to
29:21
Speaker 1: discuss might as well promote the Greg Bell radio show here.
29:24
Speaker 3: Oh well, thank you, sir. We'll talk a little bit
29:27
Speaker 3: more about whatever's going on with Cal Rowley. I'm sure
29:29
Speaker 3: you've talked about that at length today. There's a weird
29:32
Speaker 3: story out of Gig Harbor, my colleague with a news
29:36
Speaker 3: tribute John Manley, great sports writer of the year, prep
29:39
Speaker 3: writer for my paper, the girls basketball coach High You
29:44
Speaker 3: successful in our only year. They're nineteen and six, one
29:46
Speaker 3: point away from the state tournament. Two weeks ago, got fired.
29:50
Speaker 3: Looks like another case of a parent involvement into a
29:53
Speaker 3: coaching business. But then last night the district reinstated her.
29:57
Speaker 3: So we're going to talk to John Manley at ten
29:59
Speaker 3: twenty five about them.
30:00
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, sounds good. Well, we'll see in a
30:03
Speaker 1: few thanks, all right, Greg Bell our Seahawks s ins.
30:06
Speaker 1: The Bell Signal was sent out to talk about Dante
30:09
Speaker 1: Fowler Junior signed by the Seahawks, not officially, but his
30:15
Speaker 1: agent reporting they have agreed to terms a one year,
30:18
Speaker 1: five million dollars deal for a thirty one soon to
30:21
Speaker 1: be thirty two year old pass rusher who a couple
30:25
Speaker 1: of years ago had ten and a half sacks for
30:27
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders coming off a three sacks season with
30:31
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. But he's not missed a game since
30:33
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So that's four straight years of playing
30:37
Speaker 1: every single game for the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders
30:41
Speaker 1: and will certainly add to the in theory the Seahawks
30:46
Speaker 1: edge rushing depth pass rushing depth that they have and
30:50
Speaker 1: they are still a little bit light on that front.
30:54
Speaker 1: I would think I would think that would be the
30:56
Speaker 1: reaction from the organization, But I mean, you still have
30:59
Speaker 1: NUOSU and still have Haul, And yes, Hughes brought up
31:04
Speaker 1: Jared Ivy a few times and has even said things
31:07
Speaker 1: as far as keep an eye on Jared Ivy. That
31:11
Speaker 1: is somebody that I think we're gonna be talking about
31:14
Speaker 1: a lot in training camp. So maybe there's more to
31:17
Speaker 1: it than actually meets the eye. But we appreciate Greg
31:20
Speaker 1: stepping on here with us for a little bit. He'll
31:22
Speaker 1: be back on the air at ten o'clock. I'm sure
31:25
Speaker 1: he'll have some more information coming up next. This is
31:28
Speaker 1: a segment we've been doing for years on the radio show,
31:33
Speaker 1: and yet it's a segment we might try to double
31:37
Speaker 1: up on, and yet I need to make it a
31:40
Speaker 1: little bit different. So I'm gonna float some ideas by
31:44
Speaker 1: people and also recap last night's Mariners win on Sports
31:48
Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Thanks for kids, I mean,
31:52
Speaker 1: now we're finding out there totally been poisoning us for years.
31:55
Speaker 5: I mean, but worth it, totally worth it. Those little
31:59
Speaker 5: drops of to light.
32:02
Speaker 1: By the way, Talila Persort Casino is waiting for you.
32:06
Speaker 1: We'll get to the baseball bunch here in a moment. Yeah,
32:09
Speaker 1: this sort of impedes my joy, but nonetheless you can
32:13
Speaker 1: kind of lift your joy a little bit later at
32:16
Speaker 1: the Talala p Resort Casino, DraftKings Sportsbook, head on out there.
32:20
Speaker 1: Quilca Creek Casino as well. They got a big concert
32:23
Speaker 1: coming up on June fourth with Colin Ray. So make
32:26
Speaker 1: sure you're getting out to our friends at Talala Presort Casino.
32:29
Speaker 1: Make a nay of it, make an evening of it,
32:31
Speaker 1: make a weekend of it, make a month of it.
32:33
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to do. The Tulela p Resort Casino.
32:36
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this because we do a
32:40
Speaker 1: segment at six thirty every morning during baseball season called
32:43
Speaker 1: Mariners Morning After, and I've been toying around with possibly
32:46
Speaker 1: moving it till later on in the show. Maybe this
32:50
Speaker 1: time of the show, and the reasons I can explain
32:54
Speaker 1: to you by pulling back the curtain a little bit.
32:56
Speaker 1: We almost always once we're past the draft. I mean,
32:59
Speaker 1: we're leading almost every show at six o'clock with reaction
33:03
Speaker 1: to the Mariners, and then we do Mariner's Morning After
33:06
Speaker 1: at six thirty, and then because we've talked about the
33:09
Speaker 1: Mariners so much with that in the abcson headlines and
33:12
Speaker 1: everything else, that we get to the eight o'clock hour
33:14
Speaker 1: and we tend to talk about Mariner's topics rather than
33:17
Speaker 1: the game from the night before. And a lot of
33:19
Speaker 1: you are just getting up right now, a lot of
33:21
Speaker 1: you are turning on the radio, getting in your car
33:23
Speaker 1: for the very first time, and maybe you would like
33:25
Speaker 1: to hear a Mariner's recap from the night before. So
33:29
Speaker 1: I was thinking about shifting it from six thirty to
33:32
Speaker 1: eight thirty eight forty five and doing Mariners Morning After.
33:36
Speaker 1: But I brought it up to our six thirty audience
33:38
Speaker 1: and they nearly punched me in the face collectively. And
33:43
Speaker 1: so I don't know if I can move it, but
33:45
Speaker 1: maybe we can create a different kind of segment that
33:48
Speaker 1: helps us recap the Mariner's game from the night before
33:52
Speaker 1: at around this time of the day every single day.
33:56
Speaker 1: And that was one of my ideas. The Baseball Brunch.
34:00
Speaker 1: The baseball Brunch, Yeah, I have a hunch you'll love
34:03
Speaker 1: the baseball brunch.
34:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, because for us, we've already been awake for hours
34:08
Speaker 4: and hours and hours, so it's not breakfast time.
34:09
Speaker 5: Anymore. Yeah, we got brunch time.
34:11
Speaker 1: Reckless at breakfast we do on Wednesdays, but past eight o'clock.
34:15
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's not eleven, no, but right exactly,
34:19
Speaker 1: I mean I could go for some I love some brunch.
34:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
34:25
Speaker 1: So maybe it's we have a hunch you'll love the
34:28
Speaker 1: Baseball Brunch that we could do at this time of
34:32
Speaker 1: the day and recap and then we could do uh,
34:35
Speaker 1: for example, special guest appearance and then the highlight is
34:40
Speaker 1: by JP Crawford and then we play the highlight.
34:43
Speaker 5: I've got that.
34:44
Speaker 1: If you like it, Yeah, let me do it again.
34:46
Speaker 1: Take two. Uh, we got a hunch you'll love the
34:49
Speaker 1: Baseball Brunch, special guest our appearance from JP Crawford. Three two,
35:00
Speaker 1: how does it happen?
35:06
Speaker 2: Crawford?
35:08
Speaker 1: That's a gone to run run.
35:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a hunch I love that Baseball Brunch.
35:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, with Chuck and Buck and Ashley, Aaron Goldsmith and
35:23
Speaker 1: a special guest star appearance from JP Crawford. I like it,
35:27
Speaker 1: you know, So you know, maybe that and then then
35:30
Speaker 1: you always get value. You always got valuable advice watching
35:33
Speaker 1: the Baseball Bunch, So we could get valuable advice from
35:37
Speaker 1: Bucky potentially on what happened the night before, and then
35:41
Speaker 1: of course the chicken always made an appearance, So I
35:44
Speaker 1: don't know how we'll incorporate that, yeah, into the segment.
35:49
Speaker 1: Or Tommy Lesorda was the dugout Wizard and so he
35:53
Speaker 1: would always like take a question from the audience, So
35:56
Speaker 1: maybe we could even incorporate that. We can incorporate like
35:59
Speaker 1: a text from a listener about the game the previous night,
36:02
Speaker 1: and we could, So it's not just we are creating content.
36:05
Speaker 1: You can help us create content. Maybe there's something there.
36:09
Speaker 1: I like that you're saying there's something potentially there.
36:12
Speaker 4: Keith has already texted in who gets to be the
36:14
Speaker 4: San Diego Chicken?
36:15
Speaker 5: I would like to nominate myself.
36:18
Speaker 1: Well, we need somebody to fill the role. Yeah, because
36:20
Speaker 1: it was always showing up, Keith, you are the chicken.
36:23
Speaker 5: You're always showing up.
36:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe Keith is the chicken.
36:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, just whatever insight Keith chares with us that morning.
36:31
Speaker 1: So I mean it won't be exactly that, but I
36:35
Speaker 1: think there are a few things that we can do, yeah,
36:38
Speaker 1: that can recap the night's game. Some other people that
36:41
Speaker 1: suggested Mariner's mid morning after also we got after Mariner's
36:48
Speaker 1: Morning After, yep, and I suppose there's even mariners After
36:53
Speaker 1: Morning After After.
36:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was Mariner's Morning After After as well.
36:59
Speaker 1: So yes, there are a lot of different ways we're
37:01
Speaker 1: gonna go. So we're gonna do something with it. We're
37:03
Speaker 1: still kind of brainstorming it, but let's actually pay off
37:08
Speaker 1: the idea behind it as well, because the Mariners did
37:10
Speaker 1: win last night by a final score of five to
37:13
Speaker 1: four over the Atlanta Braves, and the Atlanta Braves had
37:17
Speaker 1: come in red hot. Mariners came in having lost three
37:20
Speaker 1: straight games, and about midway through that game, I mean,
37:24
Speaker 1: I thought it felt lifeless on Sunday against the Kansas
37:27
Speaker 1: City Royals, And I'm not blaming the fans. It's like
37:30
Speaker 1: the team didn't give you anything to cheer for on Sunday,
37:34
Speaker 1: and then you roll it over into a Monday evening.
37:37
Speaker 1: Not as many fans in the stands on a Monday
37:39
Speaker 1: as there is on a Sunday. You're taking on a
37:42
Speaker 1: better team. You've stumbled into this game having lost three
37:45
Speaker 1: straight games, and suddenly you find yourself down four to
37:49
Speaker 1: nothing after watching Ozzy Albi's, Matt Olson and Austin Riley
37:54
Speaker 1: whack homers into the stands and it just really did
38:00
Speaker 1: feel like this team was lying on the mat. Yeah,
38:04
Speaker 1: and the referee was given the two count and then
38:08
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Luke Rayley raises up his arm
38:11
Speaker 1: or lifts up his shoulder and your refuses to be pinned.
38:15
Speaker 1: And then JP Crawford off the top rope, finishes it
38:19
Speaker 1: off with a finishing move. And then our bullpen gets
38:22
Speaker 1: the job done last night. And it's not a spire
38:25
Speaker 1: brash bullpen. They're both on the injury list. It's Ferrera,
38:29
Speaker 1: it's a Bizardo and it's Muno. So, I mean, this
38:32
Speaker 1: team has this we talked about it yesterday, as much
38:36
Speaker 1: as they have this ability to not take advantage of
38:40
Speaker 1: early season momentum because they're terrible at it. They are.
38:43
Speaker 1: What they are really good at is just when you
38:46
Speaker 1: are ready to count them out and you're sure that
38:50
Speaker 1: you're getting ready. I mean, it just felt lifeless last night.
38:53
Speaker 1: It felt like there was no chance they were going
38:55
Speaker 1: to come through at any moment last night. Well like
39:01
Speaker 1: we're missing cal We're missing two pieces of our bullpen.
39:04
Speaker 1: We're missing Brendan Donovan.
39:06
Speaker 3: Right.
39:06
Speaker 1: This thing's I'm not saying, it just felt like I'm
39:11
Speaker 1: not saying going sideways, like the season was going sideways,
39:14
Speaker 1: but it did feel like we're not going to win
39:17
Speaker 1: this game.
39:18
Speaker 4: It felt like a slow death honestly too, because you
39:21
Speaker 4: were watching solo home run after solo home run after
39:24
Speaker 4: solo home run after solo home run. It wasn't like
39:27
Speaker 4: Logan gave up a three run shot in the sixth
39:30
Speaker 4: as a gut punch. It was, okay, that's all right,
39:33
Speaker 4: we can still, we can overcome a two run deficit.
39:36
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like we can overcome a thrill, right right,
39:40
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you.
39:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's yeah.
39:43
Speaker 1: I mean May fourth, I didn't feel like, oh boy,
39:46
Speaker 1: seasons in trouble. No, That's not how I felt, but
39:50
Speaker 1: I did. It did cross my mind on the third
39:52
Speaker 1: home run in the sixth inning, I'm like, they're gonna
39:55
Speaker 1: do this to us again, aren't they. They are just
39:58
Speaker 1: gonna have a crap first half, aren't Yeah, this is
40:01
Speaker 1: and then they're going to dig their way out of
40:03
Speaker 1: it late summer. They're going to do this to us again.
40:07
Speaker 1: I did have that feeling last night because I was
40:09
Speaker 1: sure we were losing that game. It seemed like it
40:12
Speaker 1: once it got to four nothing, and then all of
40:14
Speaker 1: a sudden, out of nowhere, two home runs, a three
40:18
Speaker 1: run shot from Raley, a two run shot from JP Crawford,
40:21
Speaker 1: and you end up winning the baseball game. So yeah,
40:25
Speaker 1: and so now you've got a chance to win the
40:27
Speaker 1: series today. Two cracks to win the series against the
40:30
Speaker 1: team that was riding highest in all of Major League
40:33
Speaker 1: Baseball coming in to this series. And so I don't
40:37
Speaker 1: know what we'll end up calling this segment in the future,
40:40
Speaker 1: but if that's our first ever baseball brunch, it was delicious. Yeah,
40:43
Speaker 1: because they I'm not saying they needed the win. I
40:47
Speaker 1: don't think we're there to be using those words just
40:51
Speaker 1: yet this early in the season, but it definitely felt
40:54
Speaker 1: bigger than in May. Fourth baseball game should feel.
40:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I agree, and especially coming yeah, coming off
41:01
Speaker 4: being swept over the weekend against the team you shouldn't
41:03
Speaker 4: have been swept by, and then to go into that
41:06
Speaker 4: you're just thinking, come on, can we just get a break.
41:08
Speaker 1: We'll get a thoughts from Ryan Heally, He's coming our way.
