  Speaker 4: you by Frost Brewed Cords.

  Speaker 4: Of course, we're gathered here. We have gathered here today
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: to get through this thing called the World Cup US
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Australia playing today at noon right down the street from
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: US and it is filling up Christian polistic status in doubt.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: That's how they phrased it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: As we do not know as of this moment whether
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: or not the team's best player will suit up for
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: today's match.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It is day number two of the US Open.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: We're gonna get you updates at twenty after the hour
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: at eight o'clock, nine o'clock hours, Wyndham Clark's still leading
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: at six under par.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: He is through six holes today in day number.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Two, and the Mariners took two out of three from
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the Baltimore Orioles. Brian wo dominates three to nothing the
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: final score. As the Mariners win, they will start a
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: brand new series with the Boston Red Sox tonight right
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: across the street at Team Mobile.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Joining us now on the program.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: To discuss this big day, this big event from Fox thirteen.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Aaron Levine is with us. How are you great? Morning
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to you?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: How could you not be good on this great morning?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: You already feel the buzz in the Sodo area were
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: five hours before the start of this match between the
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: US and Australia, and they're already fans out from Australia
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: and the United States. I can only imagine what it's
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: going to look like in an hour or two hours time.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: What a difference an hour makes. I mean, it's a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: little sleepy. There were just you know, service folks around
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and people leaving and coming and going from the hotel.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And now I mean, I know scene setters are scenes,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: but across the street they're lining up, and I mean
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: significant amount of people are down here at seven o'clock
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just kind of proves what this event really is.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: And I think it's a big deal that the venue
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: itself opens three hours before the match starts. A lot
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: of the sporting events in Seattle, they'll open their doors
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: an hour and a half or two hours at a time.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Three hours. We were inside the.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Stadium before Belgium and Egypt, and you saw all these
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: fans rushing in because they wanted to see what it
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: was like. This is an entire event this morning that
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: goes all the way down the waterfront from Pier fifty eight.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Occidental swear.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Whether you're taking part in a march to the match
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: from one of the piers or whether you're already down here,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: it's just gonna be a flood of red, white and blue,
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: is what I hope. And then a spattering of yellow
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: and green for the Aussie fans.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that will be the way it's going to be here.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Stretch yeah, both, No, they'll they'll stand out. I mean Australia,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: they show up, they traveled, they bought after Again, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: mentioned in the first segment that after their win up
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver versus Turkey, they bought all the rest of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the tickets. I mean they bought everything. The price doubled.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: They will be there and you will hear them. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they're the friendliest people on earth. I swear to God,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: they are the friendliest folks. I'm not cheering for him today,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but between US fans and Australian fans, it's going to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: be a perfect mix of absolute noise. Aaron I wanted
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to ask you, You've been in the city for so
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: many years now, how do you think Seattle has done
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: with this setup? They've obviously had four years to plant.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The committee has led some really smart people. How do
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you think it's happened for them?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I think they've blown everything in every expectation away. And
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: there was a lot of skepticism from a whole lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: of people all the way up to that very first
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: match here in Seattle on Monday between Belgium and Egypt.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I personally didn't expect the stadium to be full, close
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: to full with sixty six seven hundred fans, and then
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: you look around and it is just a sea of
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: red because Belgium and Egypt both wear red. And I mean,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: thank goodness, none of the fans were forty nine ers fans,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: because you kind of get PTSD when you see so
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: much red.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Inside that stadium.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Exactly, But it was great, and it's not just that,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: it's you look at all across the country, these stadiums
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: are full. Everybody made so much about tickets being so expensive.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Well apparently whatever FIFA did is paying off because people
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: are still paying those prices because these stadiums are full.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: The get in price apparently today is around eighteen hundred
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: dollars just to get inside Seattle Stadium. So listen, I'm
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: excited you mentioned the ass fans. They showed up well
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: at te Mobile Park yesterday for the Mariners game. The
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: one thing I do worry about is I know they're
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: going to have a strong showing, but I really hope
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: that the American fans are able to drown out the
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Asse fans in terms of excitement, energy, and Team USA
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: gives them something to root for. I go back to
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: the HBO documentary. If you haven't seen it, I highly
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: encourage everybody to do so. After the Gold Cup loss
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: in Houston last year to Mexico, you saw Mauricio Pochettino
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: starting to cry in his postgame locker room speech, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: the reason was he wanted a pro USA crowd so
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: badly for his guys, and he felt that they deserved
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: it so badly that he was drawn to tears. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: that's one of the reasons why that Monday or that
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: last Friday game in Los Angeles was so special. It
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: was not only that the United States beat Paraguay, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: they were lifted by the incredible crowd that showed up
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: that was pro USA at Sofi Staium or Los Angeles
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Stadium in southern California. And I'm really hoping that Seattle,
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: as a soccer city and the history that we have
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: here shows up in a similar way, if not more.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Today, I think you've got your new co host. I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: gonna sit in and I'm gonna go. I'm gonna walk
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: down the street. I think you just found your new
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: co host. My question to you. Were you here for
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the US Panama that qualifier.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: It's funny because I think I watched it on TV.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I don't even remember it. In fact, my recollection of
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: the US men's soccer team playing inside Lumen.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Field is very, very small.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: And apparently they played against Panama and twenty thirteen in
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: a World Cup qualifier, and then they were back here
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: in twenty sixteen facing what Costa Rica and that was
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: a spur of the moment thing since Costa Rica upset
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Columbia in that champions or whatever league.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That's the thing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I'm a soccer fan, but I'm not a soccer fan
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: that necessarily can distinguish between Nations Cup and Confederation.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Cold and seriously, it gets confusing.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: I finally got the acronyms right between you AFA and
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: conquer CAF and everything else.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It's step by step. But that match against Panama was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it was very loud, and I mean, you know, we're
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: talking to Seattle lights though that had been in there
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with NFC Championship game and I mean ear bursting the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: whole deal and beast quakes and things. But that match
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: versus Panama was very loud. Today will be. And the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: first goal is everything, right, The first goal is everything
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: because Australia will sit back and not getting into tactics,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: but they'll just sit back. If they get the goal,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be You'll you'll be You'll be pretty surprised
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: how loud it is.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Matt stretch Johnson with US co hosting our gas Aaron
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Levine from Fox thirteen as we get you ready for
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: high noon today US versus Australia. I mean, I think
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: there's some obvious answers to this, but I just want
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: to get your perspective on. You've covered so many big
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: sporting events in your life. Describe for our audience why
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: this last couple of weeks has been such a different
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: experience for you as a sports journalist.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I would say that the way it was advertised
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: to us starting four years ago, whenever Seattle was awarded
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: six games here was that it's not just one super Bowl,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: it's six different Super Bowls and it's gonna span the
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: course of a couple of weeks here in Seattle. It
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: really has lived up to that hype to this point.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Between it's only been one game. We have six games here,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: but remember that they also host a round of thirty
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: two game, a round of sixteen game, and that's one
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: of the reasons why today specifically is so important. Should
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Team USAY finish first in Group D, they have a
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: chance to play back here in Seattle for that round
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: of sixteen match, potentially against the winner of Group G.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: I mean they would play the round of thirty two
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: match in San Francisco. If they win that, that would
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: be against a third place team, and then have a
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: good chance of winning that they come back here and
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: then we have a second Team USA match inside that stadium.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: But just in general, you talk about the number of
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: big events that have happened inside Blumenfield, it's not just
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: the NFC Championship games. Facts, I would put in my
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: top six experiences inside that venue at.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Least three soccer matches.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: It would have been MLS Cup when they won and
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: they filled that stadium last year winning League's Cup against
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. I had the very same,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: if not bigger, emotional reaction to the atmosphere inside that
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: stadium as I would in an NFC Championship game. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: those are at least two, and winning CONCACAFT Champions League
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: against Puma's That was.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Really cool because three days.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Before that match, nobody in Seattle had any idea what
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: CONCACAFT Champions League was. And all of a sudden, the
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: pr from the Sounders, all of a sudden took over
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: the city and they were able to fill that venue
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: in two or three days time. And for them to
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: come out of that one as the very first team
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: from MLS to win Champions League in its current format
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: was such a historic event and it was such.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: A fun night to be part of the to you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: just nailed it. The twenty nineteen MLS Cup was a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: highlight of my life. Let alone that I was lucky
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: enough to be on the call for that match, but
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: everything how it. Atlanta had upset uh Ny CFC, so
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that made Seattle host it and that that was there
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: was not an empty sea, and it was loud, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it was special, and it was a three to one
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: resounding win against the good Toronto club. And and you're
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: exactly right. I love that you brought those those that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that up that tied us back into soccer. And and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I would love to be speaking to Brian Smetzer today
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and see what this match here in.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: His home we called.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: We did, we called he will be in the stands today.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: We know that his family will gat and.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Course he will and he'll be there and it's Goosebump Friday.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And so what that means to locals with in the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in the upper echelon of soccer circles being from Nathan Hale.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: But it's kind of also a reward. It's a reward
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: for all the Sounder fans, soccer fan enthusiasts that they
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: can hopefully get into the stadium and see their country,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: because nothing's bigger than the country. There's club that's unbelievable.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You just named off three great matches and then here's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: your USA to boot.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: And that's no disrespect at all to the Seattle Seahawks.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: I mean the game day environment inside there is second.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: To nine, oh of course.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: And yet that league's Cup final against Lionel Messi and
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: in ter Miami last year set a stadium record for attendance.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: There has never been another sporting event inside the stadium
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: that has had more fans inside the venue than the
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: league's Cup final last August. And again it lived up
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: to the hype, that lived up the expectations. The Sounders
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: win that match three to one. They hoist the trophy
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: and everybody goes crazy. So yeah, MLS Cup, Champions League
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Final and certainly League Cup last year.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: And that's why you don't get on social media when
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: people question if Seattle's going to show up for a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: match like this.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I'll be the first person to admit when they
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: announced that the Sounders were going to get an MLS
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: team back in two thousand and eight or so eight,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I was one of the most skeptical people ever. First,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I was not happy about the Sonics leaving town, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: they're like, oh, well this is gonna sort of replace No,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: nothing's going to replace the Sonics.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And they're not gonna fill this venue. Blah blah blah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: They had one of the highest attendance averages and they
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: continue to do so on a regular basis. This is
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: a soccer city and that's why I'm hoping beyond hope
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: that the soccer fans show up today, and I believe
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: they will.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I've already made the mistake, the mistake I was
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: going to try to avoid today. I made eye contact
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: with some Aussies, so yeah, now.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They're in my head. I got they probably smiled at you.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you I'm gonna get a swirly before the
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: end of the day. Somebody's gonna hold my head and
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: a toilet.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna trade places my high school. Yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, they're too busy.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: They're too busy on their next beer. And honestly, they're
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: just a fun, fun group, fun group.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: It does it seem to you, Aaron as you trapes
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: away around town and run into all of these different fans,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I mean on social media, which is usually a platform
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: for the most negative people on planet too, And yet
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I've been I don't know if we've got people that
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: have been positioned by Team USA to send out positive stuff,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: but it feels like the international visitors are having a
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: ball here. Are you getting that impression?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, there's no question about it. There are so many
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: fans all across America, international fans, and I don't think
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: they're really plants. These are legitimate fans that are coming
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: to the country and they are seeing the beauty of
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: all of the different cities where there are World Cup
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: venues and Seattle included. And again, we could not have
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: put a better environment together, and we can't control the weather,
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: but it has been beautiful he did have the hottest
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: day of the year on Monday. But today, I mean,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: there's a couple clouds in the sky, the sun is out,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: it's a perfect seventy five seventy six degrees.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: This is Seattle at its best.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: And I think that's really a really cool way to
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: show us to the city of the world. What it opened
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: up to me was that we take things for granted, right,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: and we're really quick to criticize either the politics or
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: maybe we see some filth, or maybe we see some
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: issues on Aurora Avenue. And the people that I've talked
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: to is like, you live here, Oh my god, it's gorgeous.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: You get on a ferry boat.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: We don't go to We don't go to Pike Place
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: on a Sunday anymore, and pick up your fresh head
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of romain and go talk to the local farmers. We
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: don't as locals get on as spontaneous. You walk on
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the Bremerton ferry, go have lunch across the other side
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and come back. You don't go sit or walk on
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: what we call so called beaches with the big rocks

• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and nine nine percent of the people are friendly. We
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: live in a friendly, beautiful, gorgeous city, and I think
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: when you live here, things get under the microscope and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you forget about these things and you need outsiders to say,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this is unbelievable. And here, yeah, and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the city's shown out and downtown's is as I'm as
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: proud as downtown because Monday I was a little nervous,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, of like, how are they
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: going to how are they going to compare to Soul,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: South Korea who just had it blown up, And it
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was yeah, this is perfect and utilizing the beauty of

  Speaker 1: the water and utilizing Pioneer Square, it's just so it's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: so fun to be here.

  Speaker 3: Were talking about much catch your group name.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Well, Ashley has pointed out, and I think we both
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: agree that lately our weather reports have basically been suggesting
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: that it's five degrees warmer than it actually is.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every single report.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, World Cup fever treats everyone different. Yeah, and so
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it just keeps going up and up. It's gorgeous. It
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter because there's no it'll be seventy eight to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: eighty two. It's like Hawaii. It's it'll be fine, it'll
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: be fine.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe we're on the international weather time, but it's.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Not gonna be eighty four. So why are we reporting that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: You need to just start saying being vague, it's gonna
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: be a round eighty.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fine.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: We're too close to the commercials. We're too close. We
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: listened too closely with Abundant Sunshine.

• 20:46
  Speaker 4: So we just allowed the alphabet to be our guide
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: through a daily Mariners segment. We don't know where it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: going to take us. Uh and so we left off
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: yesterday at the letter J and uh. I want to
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: do jays for Jose Cruz Junior. Do you remember Jose
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: CRUs Junior?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I did? That was a big trade.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: You want to feel really old?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I already do, But keep going.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: His son got called up to the majors. Now the
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Tiger's Yes, he did, Trey Cruz, so the three.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: So I was gonna say the third, that's the third
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: because I remember his dad in Houston.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, he was great.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: He was very solid ball player.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: He was great. And then he's.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Got a son. So he's got a grandson, and we're
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: watching his career develop, right, Phil says my bald spot. Yeah, yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for sure. Where's he played?
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: So my sagging part said, yes, he's in Detroit. Yeah, Trey,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: it's Jose Cruz the third and so he goes by Trey. Yeah,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: but yes, Jose Cruz Junior's son is now in.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: The maze, Detroit Tiger.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I remember when Jose CRUs Oh my gosh, as youngs are.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He was going to be it. I want to say
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: he got when he got traded to Toronto, it was
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to say what what? And I think he made it
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: two more years.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe he had a pretty lengthy career. He wasn't he
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: just didn't turn. It was a sweet far. Yes, everybody
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: thought he was good to be.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: He had a famous name. I'm glad I went with
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Jose Kruse.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: That was pretty good.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, let's go.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for making me feel seventy two
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, Ka is for k's. Cal struck out four times.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Yesterday you were there to watch Cal strike out four times.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've been beating this drum that he looks different,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: he looks better since coming off. I think that we're
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: not gonna have the same issues. I'm still gonna hold
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: to that. But uh, how worried are you about four
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: k's in a game.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not very interesting. I haven't been to a Mariner
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: game nor on TV except for early on where the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: umpire was questioned and challenged more than yesterday. So I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think and and and rose wrong a number of times.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: And I think that also that might have played into it.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I Cal struck out looking twice out swinging price. He
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: did not get cheated on his two swings, and they
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: were fastballs to my eye, they weren't changeups. But the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Oriole Picture also struck out nine, so it's not like
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: there were four, maybe five six strikeouts. Yeah, after the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: first two winnings and even in the second, the Mariners
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: rope the picture, he did do some damage. But Cal
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: striking out four times is significant. The other positive and
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to be glass half full, sunny guy
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is Cal struck out four times. He didn't play with
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Julio or Randy, and you still won with this lineup
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: over whoever, whomever who came three to one. Your two
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: young guys produced in Cole Young and and Colt Emerson.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: But yeah, your main guy strikes out four times, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you take notice.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: My observation is, I do think that he looks much
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: better than what he looked at the plate before the injury.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I think though he is in such a hurry to
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: hit that first home run to kind of prove to
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: himself like okay, yeah, yeah, that's behind me. So I
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: just don't want him to get outside of what he
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: did in his rehab to get right again, because he
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: feels like he owes us a home run.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Sooner than later, driving the ball, driving the ball to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it'll come get a solid single from each side of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the plate. I think it's coming to your point. He
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like he did in April and May and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, and so he's not a concern for me.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Health is a concern for me. Cal Rowley will never
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: be a concern for me.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: All right to els for leverage, and I want to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: get your two cents on this.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: I've been doing a lot about how we seem to
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: if we're down a run or two kind of give
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: up on the game.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Kind of feels that way.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: From Dan's perspective, like you're a bloop and a blast
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: away when you're down two runs. And I understand that
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: you have to pace your bullpen and that sometimes you
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: do have to go to a Davila or a Hoppy
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: when you're down too in the sixth or seventh, but
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think you have to do that when your
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: bullpen is well rested. And I think Stretch he's got
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: a problem with, Like I only use these guys under
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: perfect situations and circumstances. Gabe Spier has thrown a third
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: of an inning in ten days, a third of an
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: inning in ten days, and Jose Ferrer, who he was
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: using a lot, has gone an inning in a third
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: and nine days. We are just not using these guys,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: and now we're going to the piggyback today to save
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: the bullpen for another day when they don't really need
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: to be saved. If we would just use them consistently
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: and not wait for the perfect situation.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think last week when frere ferrer, I'm uh
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: yeah for Rare, Yeah, Ferrari need more coffee for are.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I think when he got beat up late and as
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: in as when he was closing, I think he's getting
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit of rest from that point, you know
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: He he boy, he had the forty pitch outing and
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: he got he got stra I get that, but I
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: mean it has been two weeks since that happened, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: we're still like hesitant to use them unless we're tied
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: or up one in the seventh.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I also come back to Dan Wilson's learning on the job.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I am, It's just he's still learning on the job.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: He's learning these guys. You know, obviously brash going down
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: is one thing, but spire and and I'll tell you
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: what bizarre to looked great yesterday. Right, So get back
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to a tax bullpen. But it changes so quickly, right
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: in three days week on Sunday you could be saying,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: oh my god, our bullpen is completely taxed because piggyback
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: didn't work Saturday, we our starter only went four and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: here we are Sunday and our starter is getting hit
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: in the third. It can change quickly well it can.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Boston doesn't. Boston doesn't scare me, though, No, Boston doesn't
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: scare me at all. I don't know why you're holding
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: back these arms.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: It can blow up in two ways on you, though,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: because you can't predict tomorrow. You can be aggressive and
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: then all and you're like, oh, we're in a series
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: of we're on a streak and we're up one five
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: days in a row, and I'm having to use the
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: same guys over and over. But it can also happen
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: the other way, where you save them and then you
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: don't even need them for.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Three or five. In what happened in Washington, I thought
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: was alarming. You say down by one or two. I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: thought there was. There was just instances where I wasn't
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: really into I didn't. I didn't care for the body
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: language in Plaine, Washington. Yes, they're improved, but it seemed
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: like once the team was down four or five, the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: body language was different to me. And again, maybe you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: too much send.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: A message though, if you're down a run or two
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: and you're in the seventh inning putting in a guy
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: that's a mop up guy, you are sending a message
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: that okay, let's work on work on tomorrow, and so
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: do you Are you surprised then that maybe the body
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: language of all the position players changes at that point.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: No, No, when you when you lay it out like that, No, absolutely,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and you go through the whole Okay, right, there's one
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: sixty two and here you are, you beat up, You
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: win a series versus Baltimore, and you move forward. But
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I just thought the domination that Washington threw on us
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: was surprising. Yeah, I mean, yeah, they are not Washington. Yes,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: they're not Washington from last year, the year before, they
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: are over five hundred, they have better record than the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Mariners currently. But it just it just was like, to
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: me obvious. So it'd be great. Let's keep it rolling.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Here you go, you have Baltimore, they're out of town,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: take on a just a toothless Boston team and win
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: two of three, and you're you're moving in the right direction.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll get back to some World Cup back.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: You know what a big day it is that Dick
• 28:35

  Speaker 4: first and Matt scot tickets to the game. What should
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: we know about this Ausy team? Are they six foot
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: they guy? Any guys six foot four and full of muscle?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes they do. They're in the back, They're they're
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: there back line a guy who plays for Leicester City.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: They played very organized if they what happened to them
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: up in Vancouver on Saturday? I was there when they
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: beat Turkey. They upset Turkey. They got the first goal
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and it was a nice goal and it was a
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: nice finish, and they have two forwards that can do
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the job. But then they just sat back and they
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: were very organized. They they were hyper organized. They then
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: played with five defenders, not to not to get two
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: technical but they played a five to four to one
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and even to my amateur eyes, I could see what
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: they were doing. They were gonna come back and they
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: were gonna defend any ball in the air. They won.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: They have two center backs that are strong, tall and
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: won everything in the air. And one of the one
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: of the keys for for Us is to score first,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so they don't do the same thing. It can be
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: incredibly frustrating when you're down a goal and you can't
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: get anything on goal. As the attacking side, they didn't
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: allow Turkey to do anything, and then they countered one
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: more time and had another fabulous finish and it ended
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: up to nothing. It's one of these matches where if
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: they were still playing, Turkey still wouldn't score. They just
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: they were not going to get an opportunity. They had
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: one decent opportunity and the goalie made a fine save
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: for Australia. So if they get get a lead early,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be very tough, I think, Yeah, excuse me.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I think the US is much more dynamic than Turkey is,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and so I have more confidence in the attack for
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the US. But Australia, it was. It was an upset,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: but they are riding high. They've got the confidence, they've
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: got their fans here, and they are by all means
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: up for the event.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: You know, I've heard all week long completely different team
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: than who US faced and the first match through ignorant
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: eyes because I'm not a huge soccer fan, Yeah, I
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: can't really tell the difference.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Uh it is it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Striking to you, as a huge soccer fan how much
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: different Australia is from Uh?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because Paraguay. They do have attacking talent and they
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: do have they do have the ball movement. I think
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: you would see a difference. I think you would see
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: a difference Australia. Again, I believe Paraguay that that own
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: goal in the seventh minute, I think it just flipped
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: it upside down. And then another goal and then all
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: of a sudden it's three. But that second goal Paraguay,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you just looked first the first goal, the first own goal.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: They were just shocked. You saw their face. They were
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: just shocked. And then going down to nil, they were gone,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: they were done. It was over in a nutshell. Yeah,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Australia is not that dynamic, except for on the counter
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: attack a couple different times. They didn't. They don't have
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the ball movement in my eyes, as Paraguay did. But
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Paraguay showed up a little too late. They started doing
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: these things in the sixty fifth, seventieth minute. The US
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: has to they have two strikers. Australia have two strikers
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and they have to control them. It's gonna be Tyler
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Tyler Adams in the midfield and Reim obviously leading that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: back line. But I think they can do the job.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I'm very confident that that US gets a win today,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: but let's not discount Australia. Confidence is everything, and if
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: it's really a three game tournament, that's what it is.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You play three games. Each game is gonna be gonna
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: be completely different tonight. To get away from it a
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: little bit. Turkey and Paraguay, I'm so interested to see
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: those are must wins. That's a must win for each
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of those squads. But Australia is gonna be full of confidence.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe even one point is fined by them, but they're
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: not going to Vancouver getting three from Turkey and coming
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: down here and playing defensive. Yeah, it'll be very interesting
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: how they how they take on or defend the US.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just smile and give me that Vega might sandwich.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: They had to do every time, every single time.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Ye coming up in our next segment, I mean, there
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: are times in life where you really want to bury
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: your ignorance.
