- 0:50Speaker 4: Oklahoma Sooners National champs of college baseball.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Congratulations to them.
- 0:54Speaker 4: And they didn't exactly spend the season being talked about
- 0:58Speaker 4: as the best team or one of the best teams
- 1:00Speaker 4: in college baseball, but there was no doubt by the
- 1:03Speaker 4: end of the year. I mean, they pretty much dominated
- 1:06Speaker 4: that tournament. They just steamrolled everybody that they faced. They
- 1:09Speaker 4: knocked Georgia Tech out before they even got to Omah Hall,
- 1:13Speaker 4: which was considered the most talented team in the sport.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Then they take out Georgia and Kansas and everybody, and
- 1:20Speaker 4: then North Carolina, who Yeah, North Carolina did win a
- 1:24Speaker 4: game against them, but when it really came down to it.
- 1:27Speaker 4: They blew them off the field last night, Yeah, to
- 1:30Speaker 4: win the national championship.
- 1:31Speaker 3: So congratulations to them.
- 1:33Speaker 4: And that it was the Brothers, the Branch Brothers, where
- 1:36Speaker 4: there was a Georgia bulldog rooting for his brother, the
- 1:38Speaker 4: Oklahoma Sooner, and he was actually like cheering, like wasn't
- 1:43Speaker 4: just there and so short, he was like given the
- 1:46Speaker 4: whole ou signs and doing all the chance. I don't know,
- 1:49Speaker 4: I don't know how that went over in Georgia, but yeah,
- 1:53Speaker 4: that was a good brother brother the Brother Branches. And
- 1:57Speaker 4: then the Mercurious Brothers, which sounds like some that you
- 2:00Speaker 4: would watch on the CW, you know, like Tuesday night
- 2:04Speaker 4: right coming up after Charms, the Mercurious Brothers come your way.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Or they might be an enemy of the Charmed Girls.
- 2:10Speaker 4: They might be, but then they deserve their own spinoff.
- 2:12Speaker 4: That's the way they pitched last night one. So they
- 2:15Speaker 4: were terrific as well, and Mammy Mama Mercurius was awfully
- 2:20Speaker 4: proud and Oklahoma won themselves a national championship last night.
- 2:24Speaker 4: That's what will start our seven o'clock hour, Our headlines
- 2:27Speaker 4: brought to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light choose chill.
- 2:30Speaker 4: Mariners are in action tonight in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.
- 2:33Speaker 4: It'll be George Kirby against Mitch Keller first pitch. There
- 2:36Speaker 4: is at three forty congratulations to Logan Gilbert, player of
- 2:40Speaker 4: the week, Pitcher of the week in the American League. Also,
- 2:43Speaker 4: the Mariners did double down. We are committed to this
- 2:46Speaker 4: piggyback thing through two more turns through the rotation. We
- 2:50Speaker 4: will not back off the plan, no matter how much
- 2:52Speaker 4: piggybacklash we get in regards to it. So we'll talk
- 2:56Speaker 4: more about the Mariners coming up at seven thirty with
- 2:59Speaker 4: the A B.
- 3:00Speaker 3: C's of the MS.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Seahawks agreed to a Tennessee joint practice for a second
- 3:05Speaker 4: year in a row.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Maybe we'll ask Greg Bell about that.
- 3:08Speaker 4: At eight o'clock our Seahawks insider, but he's got other
- 3:11Speaker 4: responsibilities today. He's part of our Seahawks one series at
- 3:15Speaker 4: eight o'clock today, one analyst bringing down one key Seahawk
- 3:19Speaker 4: player for one entire interview.
- 3:21Speaker 3: We'll do it at eight.
- 3:22Speaker 4: The Kraken are getting ready for their draft on Friday.
- 3:25Speaker 3: They have the seventh pick overall.
- 3:27Speaker 4: But Jason Vottrel told us yesterday, yeah, it's available in
- 3:31Speaker 4: trade for the right price, and so we'll see what
- 3:34Speaker 4: the Kraken end up doing.
- 3:36Speaker 3: I mean, in the.
- 3:37Speaker 4: Last forty eight hours. Certainly the biggest trade in sports,
- 3:40Speaker 4: there's no question, yeah about that. Their trade with the
- 3:44Speaker 4: Florida Panthers on Sunday for Mackie Sammy Samuskevitch, Sammy sam Skevitch,
- 3:50Speaker 4: and then I guess the Heat made a trade last
- 3:52Speaker 4: night too.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I heard.
- 3:54Speaker 5: I heard a little bit about that. But from what
- 3:57Speaker 5: I gathered, everyone's talking about to Kracking.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on that. Can't really get away
- 4:02Speaker 3: from it.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Janis Antetakoumpo has been moved one of the true superstars
- 4:07Speaker 4: in the NBA, even though at age thirty one, he's
- 4:11Speaker 4: had an awful lot of injuries here in the last
- 4:13Speaker 4: couple of seasons. But he's now a member of the
- 4:16Speaker 4: Miami Heat. A blockbuster trade swung last night between the
- 4:20Speaker 4: Bucks and the Heat. Tyler Hero and four other players
- 4:25Speaker 4: going to the Milwaukee Bucks, along with three first round picks,
- 4:30Speaker 4: including tonight's tonight's thirteenth overall selection in the draft. They
- 4:35Speaker 4: also got a future second rounder. They're going to swap
- 4:38Speaker 4: picks at some point in the future. I felt like
- 4:41Speaker 4: it was a significant haul for the Milwaukee Bucks, and
- 4:45Speaker 4: I also felt like they had no choice but to
- 4:48Speaker 4: trade Jannis. I realized in the NBA trading superstars is
- 4:53Speaker 4: not recommended because it's hard to get another one. But
- 4:56Speaker 4: Heat obviously had enough of them, and I think they'd
- 4:59Speaker 4: frankly had enough of him. I do believe he could
- 5:02Speaker 4: still be one of the top ten players despite the
- 5:05Speaker 4: injuries the last couple of years, and the Miami Heat
- 5:08Speaker 4: got a lot better yesterday putting him with Bam out
- 5:10Speaker 4: of Bayo and others, and so really interesting move last
- 5:15Speaker 4: night in the National Basketball Association. We'll talk more about
- 5:18Speaker 4: it with Spencer Haws coming up at nine o'clock. Also
- 5:21Speaker 4: in the NBA, Julius Randall was traded from the Minnesota
- 5:24Speaker 4: Timberwolves in a three way deal. He is now a
- 5:26Speaker 4: Brooklyn Net This morning, and the Brooklyn Nets will be
- 5:30Speaker 4: on the clock with the sixth overall pick in tonight's
- 5:33Speaker 4: NBA draft. That's right, Tonight is the NBA Draft.
- 5:37Speaker 3: It is here. Oh yay, I do yay it. I
- 5:41Speaker 3: love the NBA Draft. I mean I don't like it
- 5:44Speaker 3: the way I used to as a kid. I liked
- 5:45Speaker 3: it more than the NFL Draft.
- 5:48Speaker 4: My brother is a monstrous basketball fan ended up being
- 5:51Speaker 4: an NBA scout himself, and so it's something that we've
- 5:55Speaker 4: always shared. When I went to Bend, Oregon two years ago,
- 5:59Speaker 4: remember I went to Bend to see my nephew and
- 6:01Speaker 4: my brother. I arrived and they they didn't even hug
- 6:05Speaker 4: me at the door because the draft was on. Oh okay, yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 4: but we hugged later. So yes, it's it's kind of
- 6:11Speaker 4: been a big deal between my older brother and I.
- 6:13Speaker 4: I so I do love the NBA Draft. Of course,
- 6:16Speaker 4: it's not what it used to be because we don't
- 6:18Speaker 4: get to know college players the way that we used
- 6:21Speaker 4: to get to know them. They used to stick around
- 6:22Speaker 4: for at least three years. I mean, it was a
- 6:25Speaker 4: rarity that, oh my gosh, Magic Johnson's so good, he's
- 6:28Speaker 4: leaving after two years, Oh my gosh. And now they
- 6:32Speaker 4: have to go spend one year. So they go spend
- 6:35Speaker 4: their one year and then they race to the NBA Draft,
- 6:39Speaker 4: and this despite making all the ni L money that
- 6:41Speaker 4: they're making, and so it's not what it used to be.
- 6:46Speaker 4: But I still do really look forward to it, and
- 6:49Speaker 4: it's still sort of has some of those same elements
- 6:51Speaker 4: that I love about the NFL Draft, watching a bunch
- 6:53Speaker 4: of young people who've worked so hard for a dream
- 6:56Speaker 4: to come true and that gets to come true tonight
- 6:59Speaker 4: for them and their face families, and then.
- 7:01Speaker 3: So it's just I love drafts. I don't know what
- 7:04Speaker 3: to tell.
- 7:04Speaker 2: You, that's all right.
- 7:05Speaker 5: I get that that aspect of it, when people's dreams
- 7:08Speaker 5: come through.
- 7:08Speaker 2: I do love that.
- 7:09Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I just feel like the family tradition, we
- 7:12Speaker 4: love drafts more than our own families.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Well that makes sense.
- 7:15Speaker 5: Yeah, I just feel like, yeah, I'd like the draft
- 7:18Speaker 5: a lot more if we had a team in somebody
- 7:19Speaker 5: that I was interested in care about where they were going.
- 7:22Speaker 5: But I don't care where anyone's going because my team
- 7:24Speaker 5: isn't in it.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Well, well, keep your eye on Jalen Brown then tonight,
- 7:27Speaker 4: because if Jalen Brown gets traded, since he didn't get
- 7:30Speaker 4: moved in the honest trade, there's talk that Portland's interested
- 7:33Speaker 4: in him. I can't even imagine what it would cost
- 7:36Speaker 4: in order to get Jalen Brown from the Boston Celtics.
- 7:40Speaker 4: But if Jalen Brown goes to Portland, there's a chance
- 7:44Speaker 4: he might be a Sonic.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Yeah weird.
- 7:47Speaker 4: If Portland moves to Seattle, that's not a bad way
- 7:49Speaker 4: to start getting the getting basketball back here.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I hear you.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Not a bad guy to root for, but yeah we Jalen.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Brown store is going to be a huge, huge thing
- 8:00Speaker 4: tonight to monitor because it will be curious as to
- 8:04Speaker 4: what the Boston Celtics who, I mean, rarely do you
- 8:09Speaker 4: announce it so profoundly who the runner up was in
- 8:13Speaker 4: any kind of monster trade. I mean a lot of
- 8:16Speaker 4: these trades happened behind the scenes, and we never know
- 8:19Speaker 4: what our team offered for said player. We never know
- 8:23Speaker 4: what other move because the general managers keep it tight
- 8:26Speaker 4: lip you want to talk about being put on blast.
- 8:28Speaker 4: I mean, for the last seventy two ninety six hours,
- 8:33Speaker 4: we've known that it's down to two teams for Giannis,
- 8:37Speaker 4: Boston or the Miami Heat. Within the last forty eight hours,
- 8:41Speaker 4: we knew it was only those two. With the last
- 8:44Speaker 4: twenty four hours, we'd known what both packages were in
- 8:49Speaker 4: the trade.
- 8:50Speaker 3: And Jalen Brown.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Is a superstar and he knows now that the Celtics,
- 8:56Speaker 4: for a second time and his career, have tried to
- 8:59Speaker 4: move him for a player they feel is better Kevin
- 9:02Speaker 4: Durant the first time around, and now we know they
- 9:05Speaker 4: tried to include him in a Yiannis trade. So now
- 9:09Speaker 4: Jalen Brown's gotta come to grips with that, or maybe
- 9:13Speaker 4: he doesn't come to grips with that. Maybe he makes
- 9:16Speaker 4: a little more turns up the heat on the Celtics
- 9:19Speaker 4: to trade him out of town so that he doesn't
- 9:22Speaker 4: feel so disrespected. And we know how the young players are,
- 9:26Speaker 4: young professional athletes are today.
- 9:28Speaker 3: They don't. They would rather make.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Three dollars an hour without benefits, without dental rather than
- 9:36Speaker 4: get disrespected for one second or perceived that they've been disrespected. Well,
- 9:41Speaker 4: Jalen Brown's been disrespected from this standpoint that the Celtics
- 9:45Speaker 4: have won a championship with him. He's coming off the
- 9:48Speaker 4: best year of his career. He carried that franchise while
- 9:51Speaker 4: Jason Tatum was out. Jason Tatum never did this season
- 9:54Speaker 4: get back to the Jason Tatum that he's going to
- 9:57Speaker 4: be next year. And yet they decided, we like you better.
- 10:01Speaker 4: We have chosen our favorite child. No, most parents won't
- 10:04Speaker 4: do that.
- 10:04Speaker 3: We will.
- 10:05Speaker 4: We love Jason, we don't like Jalen. That's pretty much
- 10:09Speaker 4: what they've done and so they're going to have to
- 10:11Speaker 4: move him, I would assume, and that's going to be
- 10:14Speaker 4: pretty tricky because not everybody can offer the package they
- 10:18Speaker 4: themselves could offer.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Yeah, and I just think, Yeah, if you're Jalen Barrown,
- 10:21Speaker 5: you're thinking, what do I have to do?
- 10:23Speaker 2: I win the finals MVP?
- 10:25Speaker 5: And they think, Oh, his trade value will never be hired,
- 10:28Speaker 5: get rid of him. I carried Jason, I carry the
- 10:31Speaker 5: team with Tatum out. Oh yeah, exactly, Like, what does
- 10:36Speaker 5: he have to do to get them to be like,
- 10:38Speaker 5: you know what, we like you on this team.
- 10:39Speaker 2: You're a pretty good addition.
- 10:40Speaker 4: I don't know, there's there's something, there's something weird between them.
- 10:44Speaker 4: I mean, he's a very bright guy, and I think
- 10:47Speaker 4: maybe maybe he really does kind of hold them. I
- 10:51Speaker 4: think maybe he is a little difficult to deal with,
- 10:55Speaker 4: you know, maybe too smart for his own good kind
- 10:57Speaker 4: of things. Uh. And so anyway, we'll see that could
- 11:01Speaker 4: be another monster story that takes place a little bit
- 11:05Speaker 4: later on tonight. But tonight is the NBA Draft. I'm
- 11:08Speaker 4: front center. I'm pulling up my chair. Cannot wait for it.
- 11:11Speaker 4: This is supposed to be the best draft and ten
- 11:13Speaker 4: years talent wise. J Bellis said yesterday. It's the best
- 11:17Speaker 4: draft talent class that he's ever covered. And he had
- 11:21Speaker 4: to have covered the Lebron class, he had to have
- 11:23Speaker 4: covered a few other I mean, that was legendary that class.
- 11:28Speaker 4: And he says, no, this is the most talent rich
- 11:31Speaker 4: one that we've ever had in my twenty plus years
- 11:34Speaker 4: of covering the NBA draft. And it kicks off Draft Athlon,
- 11:38Speaker 4: let's face it, which is the name I'm going with. Okay,
- 11:42Speaker 4: we've got a lot of drafts coming up. We've got
- 11:44Speaker 4: the hockey draft on Friday, and we've got the MLB
- 11:47Speaker 4: Draft next month, and so normally I attach a holiday
- 11:51Speaker 4: to all of this draft stuff, as you may have
- 11:53Speaker 4: picked up on I've gathered, but this feels more like
- 11:57Speaker 4: an endurance test of our draft love. So I'm calling
- 12:01Speaker 4: it the Draft Athlon, I think.
- 12:03Speaker 3: And this is the first.
- 12:04Speaker 5: Event I get it too, because when you say draft Athlon,
- 12:06Speaker 5: and I'm like, well, it can't just be one draft.
- 12:08Speaker 5: What's happening. There's got to be a lot going on.
- 12:11Speaker 5: So your your name is nailing it.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a lot of drafts coming up, and
- 12:15Speaker 4: this one's highly interesting, I think really from the jump,
- 12:18Speaker 4: the Washington Wizards had the lottery rig for them. Uh,
- 12:22Speaker 4: so they have the number one pick.
- 12:25Speaker 3: In the draft. I like that. You just I know,
- 12:27Speaker 3: I mean, I just present it matter of fact.
- 12:29Speaker 4: I believe you.
- 12:31Speaker 2: I believe you that they're lying to us.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Uh.
- 12:35Speaker 4: And the best player in the draft by most experts opinions,
- 12:39Speaker 4: is Darren Peterson from Kansas. I don't think he'll be
- 12:44Speaker 4: the pick. I think it's going to be A J. Debonsa.
- 12:48Speaker 4: If I was making the pick, I'm definitely taking Aj Debonsa.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Devonsa average led the college basketball and scoring this past
- 12:55Speaker 4: year season at BYU. But most experts, most caball analysts,
- 13:00Speaker 4: say Peterson is the greater talent. You know, he's smaller.
- 13:05Speaker 4: He is just the greater talent. But what you have
- 13:09Speaker 4: to weigh with Darren Peterson, and I think a lot
- 13:12Speaker 4: of people are having a really difficult time weighing it.
- 13:15Speaker 4: We'll see how general managers decide to weigh it tonight.
- 13:18Speaker 4: I mean, this is a guy that was an enigma
- 13:20Speaker 4: this past year at Kansas. He sat out eleven games
- 13:25Speaker 4: this past year, sat them out. And there's a difference
- 13:29Speaker 4: between was out for eleven games and.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Say sat out so he wasn't injured.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Well, he was injured, but people didn't know the severity
- 13:39Speaker 4: got it. There were several games where Bill self thought
- 13:43Speaker 4: I have Darren Peterson and then Darren Peterson tugs him
- 13:47Speaker 4: on the shirt sleeve says, I can't go tonight. How
- 13:53Speaker 4: many times have you seen that happen in professional sports?
- 13:57Speaker 4: And so there was a lot of questioning like is
- 14:01Speaker 4: this guy soft? Is this guy injury riddled? Is it
- 14:06Speaker 4: a combination of both? I mean, he sat out eleven games,
- 14:12Speaker 4: he played fewer than twenty five minutes and seven of
- 14:15Speaker 4: his sixteen appearances as a result of hamstring and ankle injuries.
- 14:20Speaker 4: And then he had this persistent cramping issue. He was
- 14:25Speaker 4: always cramping up, And so there's a lot to try
- 14:29Speaker 4: to unpack there, like does this guy have a condition
- 14:34Speaker 4: that we haven't gotten to the bottom of that. I mean,
- 14:37Speaker 4: how many times have you heard about a player getting
- 14:39Speaker 4: ready for a basketball game and has to sit out
- 14:41Speaker 4: because of full body cramping? And when you hear strange
- 14:45Speaker 4: conditions like that, then it makes you wonder sky hypochondriac,
- 14:49Speaker 4: like what is really happening? Because it's very difficult to
- 14:52Speaker 4: question injuries. And yet when he's got ankle and he's
- 14:57Speaker 4: got hamstring and he's got cramping, and sometimes they he
- 15:01Speaker 4: says I'm fine, and then you get to the arena
- 15:04Speaker 4: and then they're not fine. And there was just this overall.
- 15:08Speaker 4: Does he really want a play or not?
- 15:10Speaker 3: Right?
- 15:10Speaker 2: That's what I would think is he doesn't.
- 15:12Speaker 5: He's trying to make sure that he's healthy and safe
- 15:15Speaker 5: for the next level and not worried about that.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Maybe, But then you think, well, he'll turn it on
- 15:20Speaker 4: at NCAA tournament time.
- 15:22Speaker 2: That's what I would assume.
- 15:23Speaker 3: And he did play in.
- 15:24Speaker 4: The NCAA tournament, but he didn't play all that well
- 15:26Speaker 4: in the NCAA tournament. So there's a big question around
- 15:30Speaker 4: Darren Peterson, like what makes this guy tick? I mean,
- 15:33Speaker 4: I'm if I'm going to pass up on aj Debonsa,
- 15:38Speaker 4: I gotta know that Darren Peterson loves this game, has
- 15:42Speaker 4: the heart of a champion. If he's if he was
- 15:45Speaker 4: the only guy under consideration, you take him. But when
- 15:48Speaker 4: you've got A Debonsa in there, how do you take
- 15:52Speaker 4: Peterson and all of those weird question marks about him
- 15:56Speaker 4: and not go with de Bonsa. So I'm going with
- 15:59Speaker 4: de Bonsa. Now, if they do go with Peterson, if
- 16:02Speaker 4: they do take the best talent on the board, then
- 16:06Speaker 4: Utah's they're a pig and poop at that point, because
- 16:10Speaker 4: one of the problems Utah has had is players get there,
- 16:15Speaker 4: A lot of them, Let's be honest, can we be
- 16:18Speaker 4: adults here? A lot of them African African American, And
- 16:21Speaker 4: then they get to Utah and it's very white, and
- 16:25Speaker 4: they don't like it there. They just don't like it.
- 16:27Speaker 4: They don't want to go to Utah. They don't want
- 16:28Speaker 4: to live in Utah. They don't feel comfortable living in Utah. Okay,
- 16:31Speaker 4: And so if your Salt Lake City, here's Aj Debonsa
- 16:36Speaker 4: who chose to play in Utah. Right here is Aj
- 16:41Speaker 4: Debonsa who loved playing in Utah. You don't have to
- 16:44Speaker 4: worry about overcoming that. Even if it's just an unfair stereotype.
- 16:48Speaker 4: You don't have to overcome it with Aj. You might
- 16:50Speaker 4: have to overcome it with somebody else. And so for Utah,
- 16:54Speaker 4: they're like, please take Peterson. We would love for Debansa
- 16:57Speaker 4: because not only do we get a really good talent,
- 17:01Speaker 4: we also are great talent. We also get somebody that
- 17:04Speaker 4: we know is not going to have a problem playing here.
- 17:08Speaker 4: So then you come back to Peterson. If Devonsa is
- 17:11Speaker 4: off the board and Peterson's there, and I'm not saying again,
- 17:15Speaker 4: there's the stereo type out there. And now we've got
- 17:18Speaker 4: Peterson with all these weird little quirks about him. How's
- 17:22Speaker 4: he going to feel about playing in Salt Lake City?
- 17:25Speaker 4: Is that going to be another thing that he's not
- 17:27Speaker 4: going to enjoy? Is that going to be another excuse
- 17:30Speaker 4: for him for why he's not going to give one
- 17:32Speaker 4: hundred percent if he doesn't feel comfortable there? Is that
- 17:38Speaker 4: going to be an issue for Peterson at number two?
- 17:42Speaker 4: So I wouldn't take him at number two either. Really,
- 17:46Speaker 4: I'd take Caleb Wilson, who is apparently just the best
- 17:52Speaker 4: kid that anyone's ever come across. And so you get
- 17:56Speaker 4: Caleb Wilson, an incredible talent out of North Carolina who
- 18:00Speaker 4: also is just like I love life and I love
- 18:04Speaker 4: being good at basketball and I cannot believe all of
- 18:07Speaker 4: the riches that God has given me, and I yeah, Jazz,
- 18:11Speaker 4: take me. Let's go Jazz, Let's go win a championship.
- 18:13Speaker 4: I think I would lean toward taking that guy. Plus,
- 18:17Speaker 4: I think he's going to end up being better than
- 18:19Speaker 4: Boozer out of Duke so to me, i'd go to
- 18:22Speaker 4: Bonsa one. I'd go Wilson too, Memphis goes with Peterson
- 18:27Speaker 4: at number three, Boozer goes to Chicago at number four.
- 18:31Speaker 4: That's how I would do it if I was drafting this,
- 18:34Speaker 4: this is how i'd project it. And then of course
- 18:36Speaker 4: I'd go Keaton Woggler, my Illinois guy at number five
- 18:40Speaker 4: to the Clippers. But I also love a Cuff Junior
- 18:43Speaker 4: out of Arkansas, so they're probably going to go five
- 18:46Speaker 4: to six.
- 18:46Speaker 3: So it's gonna be fascinating tonight.
- 18:48Speaker 4: We'll see how it all unfolds, but it's really going
- 18:52Speaker 4: to be come down to the eye.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Here tonight, it seems like everybody, every mock out there
- 19:00Speaker 4: has Devonsa, Peterson, Boozer, Wilson. I'm saying, I don't think
- 19:05Speaker 4: it's going to drop that way. I don't think it's
- 19:08Speaker 4: going to go down that way. But I do believe
- 19:11Speaker 4: those four guys will be the first four players taken,
- 19:14Speaker 4: and they should be. If there's not, then man, they
- 19:17Speaker 4: know something that I don't know. All right, coming up
- 19:19Speaker 4: next your ABC's of the MS Sports Radio ninety three
- 19:22Speaker 4: point three kJ A r FM for you to be
- 19:24Speaker 4: the person that thinks that you are qualified to discuss
- 19:30Speaker 4: the topic.
- 19:30Speaker 3: What it means to be human? Yeah, bold, it's bold.
- 19:35Speaker 4: So for no other reason, check out Javier's podcast, The
- 19:39Speaker 4: Boldest Most Arrogant Person in the World.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Chio.
- 19:44Speaker 3: All right, let's do the ABC's of the MS.
- 19:46Speaker 4: We left off at the letter P yesterday, and P
- 19:51Speaker 4: is for Pittsburgh black and.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow.
- 19:56Speaker 4: The Pittsburgh Pirates will be hosting the Mariners Tonight's You
- 20:00Speaker 4: know who's going home to play in front of Pittsburgh
- 20:03Speaker 4: people for the first time in his Pittsburgh life?
- 20:08Speaker 3: Is our little cherub cool young I.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Just want to pinch those cheeks.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't he just not like the most likable young man.
- 20:15Speaker 4: He doesn't do anything like funny or anything like that.
- 20:18Speaker 4: It's just like he kind of reminds you of like
- 20:21Speaker 4: a sixteen year old kid who wants to get done
- 20:24Speaker 4: with the game and see if everybody's going to get
- 20:26Speaker 4: together and go to the pool.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like feels like that kid.
- 20:29Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just like, hey, guys, okay, well that's done.
- 20:31Speaker 2: What's next?
- 20:33Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 20:34Speaker 4: I like a sandwich and yet he played last season,
- 20:39Speaker 4: and he did play against the Pirates, went over five
- 20:41Speaker 4: by the way, his childhood team. But this is the
- 20:44Speaker 4: first time that he's going to head home and play
- 20:47Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. So he'll get to have I'm sure high
- 20:50Speaker 4: school friends and all of the family.
- 20:52Speaker 2: He said he has fifty He had fifty requests.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Is that right?
- 20:55Speaker 2: He had to fill fifty tickets.
- 20:57Speaker 6: Wow.
- 20:59Speaker 3: I think he's gonna put it on a show. I
- 21:01Speaker 3: really do.
- 21:02Speaker 4: I think he's going to put on because when you
- 21:04Speaker 4: have that sort of mentality of like, why is everybody.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Make such a big deal out of me?
- 21:09Speaker 4: Like, when you have that sort of mentality, it sort
- 21:12Speaker 4: of doesn't let you think about it usually doesn't stress
- 21:16Speaker 4: you out. You go in there and then you just
- 21:20Speaker 4: seaball hit ball and perform. I think he's going to
- 21:23Speaker 4: have a big series. I think he kind of has
- 21:25Speaker 4: one of those. He almost comes off.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I hate to say this, he's not in town right now.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Almost like airheady.
- 21:31Speaker 4: There's a little not as stupid as any but almost
- 21:36Speaker 4: just like, oh, I didn't even think about that, you know,
- 21:39Speaker 4: that type of spacey more than anything else.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Maybe a little naive because he's still so young.
- 21:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Derek Jeter. I'm gonna tell you right now,
- 21:47Speaker 4: Derek Jeter. I mean, he was a warrior. But I'm
- 21:51Speaker 4: going to tell you why that guy succeeded in the
- 21:54Speaker 4: clutch moments because he didn't think what he was doing
- 21:57Speaker 4: was that big a deal. That'd be nice, Yeah, yeah,
- 22:00Speaker 4: And Alex Rodriguez thought what he was doing was the
- 22:03Speaker 4: biggest deal in the world.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Everybody look at me.
- 22:06Speaker 4: Yeah, Hey, everybody's gonna know that. I came through in
- 22:09Speaker 4: that moment. And then he wouldn't come through in that
- 22:12Speaker 4: moment where Derek Cheeter, he'd go up there, bases loaded,
- 22:16Speaker 4: two outs, boy the night, down one in the World Series.
- 22:20Speaker 3: No big deal. I'm still going to go home with
- 22:23Speaker 3: a beautiful woman.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Tonight and I'll send her a gift basket tomorrow.
- 22:27Speaker 4: Right So, I think I think it was. I think
- 22:30Speaker 4: it's the recipe for when you have that ability to
- 22:32Speaker 4: like not think what you're doing is that big a deal.
- 22:35Speaker 4: I think kind of Cole Young's that way. We'll see
- 22:37Speaker 4: if he can be that way. Derek Jeter, like when
- 22:40Speaker 4: it really matters later in his career. But he goes
- 22:43Speaker 4: home to Pittsburgh and plays in front of the fans
- 22:45Speaker 4: for the first time tonight. H q Q is for Queasy,
- 22:51Speaker 4: And you know, we haven't gotten an update.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Ashley and I talked about this off the air.
- 22:56Speaker 4: I haven't gotten an update on dom Canzone and his
- 22:58Speaker 4: hamstring yet. I'm I'm expecting that we're going to find
- 23:02Speaker 4: out this afternoon or actually late this morning, that he's
- 23:06Speaker 4: going on the eel.
- 23:08Speaker 3: That's what it looked like to me. It looks like
- 23:10Speaker 3: his hamstring bit him. Uh.
- 23:12Speaker 4: And I've seen that injury plenty of times. I mean,
- 23:15Speaker 4: Palmer the Great has already figured it out.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hamstring.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:20Speaker 4: And when I say that's a hamstring that I know
- 23:23Speaker 4: it's going to take at least a couple of weeks
- 23:24Speaker 4: to be ready to play on it again. So my
- 23:28Speaker 4: guess is we find out this afternoon that dom Can
- 23:31Speaker 4: Zone's going on the eel. It stinks because he's our
- 23:34Speaker 4: best hitter right now, and so I'm expecting that to happen.
- 23:40Speaker 4: But since we haven't been updated, I'm holding out hope
- 23:43Speaker 4: that maybe he was just queasy and when he hit
- 23:45Speaker 4: that bag, he just you know, farted and wondered, oh
- 23:51Speaker 4: my gosh, and reached back behind himself.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Did that go through.
- 23:59Speaker 5: You know that's Oh, we're wearing off white pants.
- 24:02Speaker 2: You are going to see this.
- 24:04Speaker 4: Do you think there's a chance that that's what happened,
- 24:06Speaker 4: that that jumped up and grabbed him and he was
- 24:08Speaker 4: just reaching around his backside to grab that area and
- 24:11Speaker 4: not the hamstring.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a real possibility to you. I'm
- 24:15Speaker 2: gonna hope so too.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Don't just don't just shine me on here.
- 24:19Speaker 2: No, I'm just I'm.
- 24:20Speaker 5: Gonna try to will it into existence because that means
- 24:23Speaker 5: he was just embarrassed pants.
- 24:24Speaker 3: You gotta take me out of the game. I'm gonna
- 24:26Speaker 3: go I'm embarrassed.
- 24:27Speaker 5: I need new pants. And then they were like, you
- 24:29Speaker 5: know what, we're winning. Just stay out here. Make it
- 24:31Speaker 5: seem like that.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Otherwise everyone's gonna be like, oh, that guy pooped.
- 24:35Speaker 3: It's hard to live down. That is really hard to
- 24:38Speaker 3: live down.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Finally, r is four ref Snyder. How much longer are
- 24:44Speaker 4: we going to give Rob ref Schneider to get this right?
- 24:46Speaker 4: I like for Rob ref Schneider to get this right.
- 24:48Speaker 3: I really do.
- 24:50Speaker 4: There's nothing to dislike about Rob ref Schneyder. You want
- 24:56Speaker 4: him to fail, he's on your team exactly. I'd like
- 24:58Speaker 4: for him to get going and be what they envisioned
- 25:00Speaker 4: him to be. But obviously there's an expiration date on everything,
- 25:05Speaker 4: including you know, veterans who sign short term deals with
- 25:10Speaker 4: you and are expected to do one thing well, really well,
- 25:14Speaker 4: and he's not doing it well at all. So I
- 25:16Speaker 4: asked Ryan Healey yesterday, ours for Ryan, how much longer
- 25:21Speaker 4: he gives these struggles against lefties without having to make
- 25:25Speaker 4: some personnel changes.
- 25:26Speaker 6: I think they're showing us right now what they're willing
- 25:28Speaker 6: to do of throwing more lefties into the left handed
- 25:31Speaker 6: starting pitcher. It's like, hey, if it's got to be
- 25:33Speaker 6: a left all left because it's our best guys, then
- 25:35Speaker 6: we're going to start making that transition. But I've always
- 25:37Speaker 6: felt like the runway was to the All Star Break
- 25:40Speaker 6: before those hard roster decisions needed to be made. And
- 25:43Speaker 6: I think some of those players know that, and I
- 25:46Speaker 6: think we'll see how the organization makes that adjustment and
- 25:50Speaker 6: when we come back, for when they come back from
- 25:51Speaker 6: the All Star break.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to give it the All Star break.
- 25:56Speaker 4: I think he's right.
- 25:57Speaker 3: I know everybody wants it done now, but that's.
- 26:00Speaker 2: What three weeks away. Yeah, I said that far.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm gonna go to the All Starvey.
- 26:05Speaker 4: We're going to see signs, no question about it, and
- 26:09Speaker 4: there's certainly you're not living with it through the trading deadline.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know why it happens. I kind
- 26:17Speaker 4: of feel bad for Justin and Jeriot because I think
- 26:21Speaker 4: a lot of these veteran moves are moves that should work.
- 26:26Speaker 4: Aj Pollock didn't show any signs of being bad against lefties,
- 26:30Speaker 4: Mitch Garver didn't show any signs against being bad against lefties.
- 26:34Speaker 4: The like months before they signed with us, they were
- 26:38Speaker 4: dominating lefties. Colton Wong, I said this earlier this week,
- 26:42Speaker 4: had a three and a half War and his last
- 26:44Speaker 4: year with the Brewers, and that was a year where
- 26:46Speaker 4: he missed like twenty thirty games with injury, so and
- 26:49Speaker 4: War's accumulative stat So I don't know why they hit
- 26:53Speaker 4: the wall here, but they're definitely hitting the wall because
- 26:56Speaker 4: it's not like Pollock went on and was successful somewhere else.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Ye, it wasn't like wall. I mean, he was a.
- 27:01Speaker 4: Little better with the Dodgers there for a little while,
- 27:04Speaker 4: but it's not like he turned it back around and
- 27:06Speaker 4: salvaged his career.
- 27:08Speaker 3: That didn't happen. For whatever reason. They get guys who seem.
- 27:12Speaker 4: To be robustly succeeding at a certain aspect, they are
- 27:17Speaker 4: signed to perform that certain aspect and then can't perform
- 27:21Speaker 4: it whatsoever. So we've seen this before, We've heard this
- 27:25Speaker 4: record before, and yeah, I think Ryan's got it. I'm
- 27:29Speaker 4: gonna get him a little bit more time. As you said,
- 27:31Speaker 4: the All Star breaks just two three weeks away. That's it,
- 27:35Speaker 4: and then at the trading deadline, we're going to try
- 27:38Speaker 4: to find your replacement. And I don't hold out a
- 27:42Speaker 4: lot of hope that we're going to to see a turnaround.
- 27:44Speaker 4: I think Rob Refsnyder's inside his own head at this stage,
- 27:48Speaker 4: and I don't think he's gonna find the answers. He
- 27:50Speaker 4: doesn't have the answers right now. I don't think he's
- 27:52Speaker 4: gonna find the answers. I don't think it was a
- 27:54Speaker 4: terrible decision, like so many of you do in hindsight,
- 27:58Speaker 4: to bring Rob roth Schneider over in the off season,
- 28:01Speaker 4: but you do have to accept the fact that we
- 28:04Speaker 4: are getting terrible results from this player. So he's got
- 28:09Speaker 4: really two weeks two weeks to turn this thing around
- 28:12Speaker 4: and he's not gonna probably find that opportunity in Pittsburgh.
- 28:15Speaker 3: They have all right handed pitchers in Pittsburgh.
- 28:17Speaker 4: So he's gonna have to take few opportunities between now
- 28:21Speaker 4: and the All Star break and then shine in those opportunities.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Otherwise it's time to move on, all right. Coming up next,
- 28:29Speaker 4: the Kraken aren't done trading, and apparently, according to reports yesterday,
- 28:34Speaker 4: they are in fact dangling. Shane Wright Sports Radio ninety
- 28:37Speaker 4: three point three kha RFM.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Mark Corner Carlow worked at free slapped around the boards,
- 28:43Speaker 1: turned over sane right, sane Right's got two and now
- 28:56Speaker 1: Seattle cracket gold back up by two.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Never it fits you.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Only a call right there and hearing a lot of
- 29:06Speaker 4: ev from Evert the last couple of days.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Yeah, we just missed his voice.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Wanted to play it. I know sometimes I just call
- 29:12Speaker 3: him late at night. You just talk to me. I'm
- 29:15Speaker 3: having trouble sleeping.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Just tell me a bad time story.
- 29:19Speaker 3: And then just put a goal in it.
- 29:20Speaker 4: I know you're reading me red riding Hood, but just
- 29:23Speaker 4: at some point just yell out scores.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Yeah, or if you could narrate a fight, that would
- 29:30Speaker 5: be really great.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Good morning to you, We got Greg Bell coming up
- 29:34Speaker 3: at the top of the hour. It's our Seahawks one series.
- 29:36Speaker 4: It continues today and through the rest of the week
- 29:39Speaker 4: end of our Seahawks Insider has yet to participate in
- 29:42Speaker 4: our Seahawks one series this month, so we'll do that
- 29:45Speaker 4: coming up here at eight o'clock.
- 29:47Speaker 3: But let's talk a little hockey.
- 29:48Speaker 4: We had Jason Botchrell on the show yesterday, general manager
- 29:51Speaker 4: for the Kraken. We talked about his big trade on
- 29:54Speaker 4: Sunday with Florida, bringing over Macki Sammy Samyskevitch from the Panthers,
- 30:00Speaker 4: a first round pick and a future second round pick
- 30:02Speaker 4: as well, and we also talked to him about the
- 30:05Speaker 4: extension of Bobby McMahon. So it was a good day
- 30:07Speaker 4: by all accounts, a good day for the Kraken on Sunday.
- 30:11Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody that follows hockey would say
- 30:13Speaker 4: anything differently. Yeah, now going forward, is there a bigger
- 30:19Speaker 4: splash that they're going to make this offseason? Remember they're
- 30:22Speaker 4: the ones that said we're going to do a self
- 30:24Speaker 4: audit of our organization.
- 30:25Speaker 3: We're going to turn over every rock, every.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Stone, We're gonna find out why we're not better because
- 30:29Speaker 4: we should be better than this.
- 30:31Speaker 3: We should not be missing the playoffs.
- 30:33Speaker 4: What is missing. Well, one of the decisions that they
- 30:37Speaker 4: made was to keep Lane Lambert, and I think that's good.
- 30:40Speaker 4: I think having too much overturn at your head coaching
- 30:43Speaker 4: position is dizzying. I don't think it establishes any sort
- 30:48Speaker 4: of continuity. And I realized there's a lot of overturn
- 30:51Speaker 4: in the National Hockey League at the head coaching position,
- 30:53Speaker 4: but it would seem a little extreme if we were
- 30:55Speaker 4: already on our fourth coach.
- 30:58Speaker 2: I would hope that right.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Yeah, And it.
- 31:01Speaker 4: Was very clear that Lane Lambert's style for coaching last
- 31:05Speaker 4: year did not fit Shane Wright.
- 31:10Speaker 3: And so.
- 31:12Speaker 4: As we think about a big trade, I mean, this
- 31:14Speaker 4: was a guy that when he came into the draft
- 31:17Speaker 4: a few years ago, he was talked about as being
- 31:20Speaker 4: the best talent in that draft, and we discussed did
- 31:24Speaker 4: we just get the best talent in that draft? Did
- 31:26Speaker 4: he fall to us and we walked away with the
- 31:30Speaker 4: best offensive player in this draft? I mean, there was
- 31:33Speaker 4: conversation about whether or not he could be that forty
- 31:38Speaker 4: goal per game scorer, and he looked like he was
- 31:41Speaker 4: on his way at the tail end of twenty twenty five.
- 31:47Speaker 4: He looked like he was going to be maybe the
- 31:49Speaker 4: team's best offensive weapon heading into twenty twenty five, twenty
- 31:53Speaker 4: twenty six, and instead, by the end of the year,
- 31:57Speaker 4: he was on a third line, fourth line. I mean,
- 32:00Speaker 4: he was so far deep into Lane Lambert's doghouse. I mean,
- 32:04Speaker 4: he barely contributed to this team in the second half
- 32:07Speaker 4: of the season, and there's a belief that he's I mean, well,
- 32:11Speaker 4: we know how young he is, and there's a belief
- 32:14Speaker 4: across the league that a change of scenery would do
- 32:17Speaker 4: him good and that somebody could still tap into that
- 32:21Speaker 4: amazing potential that everybody saw in him coming into the
- 32:25Speaker 4: National Hockey League. But I don't know if it's going
- 32:28Speaker 4: to happen for the Seattle Kraken. So if you're looking
- 32:30Speaker 4: to make a splash, I mean, I think it's time
- 32:32Speaker 4: to trade Shane Wright, and I'd pair it with the
- 32:35Speaker 4: seventh overall pick Friday, and you pair those two things together,
- 32:39Speaker 4: and man, you should be able to come away with
- 32:41Speaker 4: something of monstrous significance.
- 32:44Speaker 5: I would think that would be huge, And that part
- 32:47Speaker 5: I don't want to see Shane Wright go and be
- 32:49Speaker 5: great for someone else. When I was hoping he could
- 32:52Speaker 5: be here and be great for us. But if you
- 32:54Speaker 5: could pair those and get something real big, I mean, yeah,
- 32:57Speaker 5: that's a big deal. Selfishly curated a signed Chainwright jersey
- 33:03Speaker 5: for an auction I'm put together on Saturday.
- 33:06Speaker 3: So wait till Sunday.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Be a real bummer.
- 33:08Speaker 5: If on Friday he gets traded away and then that
- 33:10Speaker 5: jersey doesn't yes any.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Munchy, that's true. Children and the draft's Friday, Yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 5: That would be I just have to hope no one
- 33:17Speaker 5: pays attention to the NHL Draft.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Well, then it'll become a collectors what it though, that's
- 33:22Speaker 4: how you would sell it.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Okay, for sure, I'll do.
- 33:25Speaker 3: That, that's for sure.
- 33:26Speaker 5: That's what you're telling me, you know, trying to get
- 33:28Speaker 5: maximum money, and you end up with the jersey of
- 33:31Speaker 5: a kid that gets traded the day before.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Maybe his number will get retired.
- 33:36Speaker 5: That's it some days, all right, Yeah, that's fine, cracking
- 33:38Speaker 5: if you want to trade him, just retire as well.
- 33:41Speaker 4: If that happens, then Jason Bottrel should take it on
- 33:44Speaker 4: his own account to make up your brand new Alexis
- 33:48Speaker 4: La Frenaire jersey, because that's one of the names being rumored.
- 33:52Speaker 4: U La Frenaire is just twenty four years old, and apparently,
- 33:58Speaker 4: I mean this was twenty's number one overall pick, and
- 34:03Speaker 4: he had twenty four goals this past year for the Rangers,
- 34:07Speaker 4: and apparently they've kind of they have the same frustrations
- 34:11Speaker 4: in New York. They were a bad team this year.
- 34:14Speaker 4: We were just a little lower than mediocre. Right, they
- 34:16Speaker 4: were bad the Rangers this past year, and apparently there's
- 34:19Speaker 4: some frustration with him. So maybe it's just a one
- 34:21Speaker 4: for one swap again, a change of scenery kind of
- 34:25Speaker 4: trade could be a possibility. There was also a story
- 34:28Speaker 4: yesterday talking about the Philadelphia Flyers being interested in Shane
- 34:33Speaker 4: Wright and that that's who they will be coming after,
- 34:36Speaker 4: according to the rumor, and the name that is being
- 34:39Speaker 4: most prominently mentioned there. And I don't know him all
- 34:43Speaker 4: that well, but it's another forward. Owen Tippett is his name.
- 34:46Speaker 3: He was the thing like that.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Tenth pick out of twenty seventeen. He scored twenty eight
- 34:51Speaker 4: goals last year for the Philadelphia Flyers. Again, far more
- 34:55Speaker 4: productive than what Shane Wright is.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Well, and you could just pass him the puck and
- 34:58Speaker 2: tell him to tip it.
- 35:00Speaker 3: There you go, tipp it good?
- 35:01Speaker 5: Yeah, tipp it real good, just the tip it, yep.
- 35:05Speaker 5: I mean, the fun you could have with that name Endless.
- 35:09Speaker 3: That's the right stuff, all right.
