Chuck & Buck 6-9 Hour 4: Ryon Healy, Sup With You and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: All right, nine o'clock hour, and on Tuesdays that segment
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: belongs to former Mariner Ryan Healy, who, of course says,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: also gracing our lives these days as part of the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Mariners television team as well. And so every Tuesday nine
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: o'clock we get his thoughts on Mariners baseball and we
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: dive right in here with Ryan this morning. Good morning, sir,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning. How are we doing today? I'm doing all right.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Actually brings up a good question. Did you ever do
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one of those dugouts standoff things? No?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I was normally standing at first base or third base
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: ready to play ball, and there was always a starting
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: pitcher that had nothing to do that day that I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: live to delay it a little bit.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It's my favorite. Makes your laugh every time.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do the players actually like it or do they
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: find it as annoying as I do?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's indifferent, okay, I can't say that. Like it motivates me,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: but also like the pictures live in a different world.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So if that's what their their goal was for the day,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: then you know, go do it. But those players, they don't.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: They're done playing with it. It's like an immediate ejection
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: for both pictures.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: See you later. Oh good, all right.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: That's why they do it. Then they can go hang
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: out in the clubhouse.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's the strategy. It's a good point go golf
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with the guy you lost to the standoff too. Actually,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: just brought it up during the break, and I'm like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I haven't never asked for Ryan about this. I'm gonna
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: do it to start our conversation. One other thing before
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we dive into a lot of really neaty conversations we
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: need to have today. Are you doing the home run derby?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: They keep promoting it and Ryan Roland Smith's signed up
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to embarrass himself, but you probably would stand a pretty
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: decent chance. And yet versus each you row, how are
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you gonna fare in that scenario?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: If I beat each y Road, then this whole event
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: is a fail, Like this is each ero's game to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: win at this point. I've seen him hit BP, We've
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: obviously all seen him play as well, and he was
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: automatic in the five to six hole base hits on command.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But if you ever watched his batting practice, he can
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: also go automatic home runs pull site, just swing after swing.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna have to really get into shape and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: like prepare for this to really have a shot.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But you are going to do it. Oh yeah, I'm
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: doing it. Okay, good, all good. Finally might have some competition.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Then we needed some competition for Reachi ro define competition.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Somebody that can hit more than one. Okay, I'll take that. Yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: all right, you can do it. All right, Ryan Eally
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is with us. We got a lot to discuss, including
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: last night, and let's begin with you know, the forty
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: nine ers have the catch, and the Broncos have the drive,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and now we in Seattle have the challenge. I love
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the ABS challenge system. I love what it's brought to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the game. But man, Ryan, that's how it's used. Last
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: night on parade, didn't know if that was a ball
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: or strike. That was like, oh maybe fifty to fifty,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and maybe even he didn't feel that confident about it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And yet the situation dictated this is worth challenging right
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: now to try to bail Brash out of whatever he's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: going through this inning. I thought it was that was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: some great drama that we've never had in the history
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of our baseball lives until this season.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It definitely adds a layer of excitement to I don't
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: want to say a mundane moment because a basis loaded
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: walk and a tight game is pretty exciting in itself.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: But the opportunity to change the result of via bat
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: after the umpire already determined that it was a ball
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was incredible. I haven't seen Parada have as much success
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: as Garver, like Garver is Unbelievable'll have to play with
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: those decisions of when to challenge. But the fact that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Parreeda got that that sweeper up in the zone that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: just clipped the top enough to make that strike three.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Talk about just baseball being a game divinch, that was
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a great example of it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And a wild night. That's two wild games in a row,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and I suppose doing baseball math, you lost one of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: them you shouldn't have lost, and then you pulled out
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: last nights and I guess you'll take that. After two
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: wild evenings in the American League to go one and one,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I suppose you feel okay about that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm curious the lenses that you're watching the games through
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: now and how Mariners are watching the games now after
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that eight game winning streak, when we all felt like
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we saw the potential of this team, even with missing
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Brendan Donovan and Cal Rawley, the opportunity for them to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: actually go on that type of run and take care
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of business. I'm curious if you're watching through the lenses
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: of I can see the minor details that are winning
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and losing games, and when you see them, you're.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Like, ah, that makes sense.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It's not because the offense thinks, it's not because the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: pitching staffs thinks. It's that one little moment that can
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: change the course of a whole night in a game.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Bryan Heay is with us and man, just a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: couple of bizarre games. And i gotta get your thoughts
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on how Dan's using his bullpen beca because it's been
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a huge topic here the last couple of days and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: really for a lot of the season. For me. Anyway,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I play right there. I'm armchair manager. I'm playing along.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I promise you I don't do hindsight and that you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: know you give up two runs and you have a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: problem with the decision. If I have a problem with
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the decision, I had the problem with the what went
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: what went into the decision, not the result of the decision.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And so I would say I've been having some issues
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: with Dan's choices with his bullpen and I'm wondering if
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you're going through the same thing yourself now that you're
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a big time Mariners analyst.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Can you be more specific? What are your biggest grapes?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I want to be specific with my answer.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I would I'm gonna take one example from yesterday, like
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Matt Brash for example. I mean, he's pitched one time
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in seven days. You clearly saved him for last night,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and then because you go, you don't give him a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: clean inning. You let Chriswell go a second, and he
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: just pitched the night before. Now Brash is rushing to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: get into the game. He didn't look to me, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he's not struggled with his command this year. He didn't
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: look to me like he was ready to pitch last night.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And then the guy that you saved for the night
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: has to bail out somebody else and you only get
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: two outs out of him when you are trying to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: piece together twelve outs and a ballgame with a bullpen
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that obviously you're using it as if it's tired, because
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: there are so many guys that you're deeming unavailable to you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So stuff like that. That's just one example of many.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But I've been having an issue with it, and I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: just wondering if you've been having any issues with it. No,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's tough to nap, not as much.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And part of it, I believe, is like there's a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: pitcher that's really missing right now in Bargas. Like Vargas
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: was that bridge guy that had the high leverage stuff
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: but could bridge some of those emergency situations.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Bizarro's kind of turned into that as well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I think he's always been kind of the seventh inning
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: guy plus a high leverage spot that shows up earlier
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in the game. You know, Farrare, I feel like plugs
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: into so many different holes in that bullpen when there
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: are guys that are unavailable, which has been so nice. Uh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Brash's command hasn't looked really sharp to me any time
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that I've seen him pitch since he's come back from
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the eye yell. This command doesn't look automatic. It still
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: looks like he's searching. I would put him in Munio's
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the similar buckets of like the sweeper is really great
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and it's nasty, but when it's not in the zone
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: early in counts to entice the hitters to swing as
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: they progress, like when they face a really patient line up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: This bullpen. It's tough because they fall behind.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You know, one oh two, oh two one really quickly,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it's the automatic fastball.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And I don't care if you throw one hundred and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: one or if you throw ninety three. A big leaguer
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: is gonna get on time with it. The here's the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: thing though, about great teams in the major leagues. The
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: best teams in the league don't have the highest innings
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: pitched of bullpens. Why because the starters are able to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: stretch the game into the seventh or sixth inning consistently.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: So I don't think we're sitting here saying we want
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the bullpen to throw more innings, because what we want
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: actually is fans, is we want that bullpen to be
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: as healthy as humanly possible when it comes to August, September,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and then especially through October, and then that's when it's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: all hands on deck.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It's a full sprint, but there is some navigation.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And I'm trying to give the front office and the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: coaching staff some credit that they've been through this journey
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: last year of going really deep in the postseason. They're
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: learning from their experience of how can we better utilize
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the relievers earlier in the season so that they do
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: feel one hundred percent or close to it when the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: games are due.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Orde Now, let's talk about the starting pitching then, because
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: we've gone to a six man rotation and Ashley and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I were discussing earlier. I thought one of the benefits
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of that, you're down a relief pitcher, but you're also
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: giving your pitchers starting pitchers an extra day rest. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: yet they've not budged on that window. If you're between
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: eighty five and ninety five pitches at the end of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: an inning, we don't send you back out for the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: next Should they push the envelope a little bit there?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Should Emerson Hancock have gone out for a sixth inning
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: considering the fact that you are acting as if your
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: bullpen is at the end of its rope, with how
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: careful you're being with usage.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Right now, I don't have the exact pitch count, but
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I thought I saw ninety stretching two. Okay, so ninety
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: two I thought I saw stretch. A little bit further,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I think I don't think I know that teams have
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a formula and they have a system of how they're
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: going to operate within their starting pitching and if that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: what they are projecting is the best opportunity to keep
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: these six guys healthy for the rest of the season,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they're going to continue executing it. But I also believe
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that the second half of the season they'll start to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: use their eyes a little bit more, use less of
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the numbers and the process that they're executing.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It just seems so clear to me that with every
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: single pitcher there is a plan not just for the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: short term. This game is dueber die. This is for
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the games that start after the one sixty two finish.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: It got so close last year that it just looks
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: like to me that this team is making decisions based
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: off of where they want their staff to be in
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: September and October.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. What did you think
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of Emerson's chewing out of Johnny Pareda on the mound?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't know he had that in him. I really,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he's just such a He's just such a sweet young man,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and yet he knew exactly what he wanted from Pareda
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and he let him have it on the mound. I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: didn't see that live.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: But what my guess is that their relationship's pretty good, okay,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of trust there. So for Emerson
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to be able to speak up and speak his mind freely,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I actually respect that. Is he gonna have that same
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: conversation with cal Rawley? Probably not, But I do understand
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the competitor's mindset of things that are said between the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: lines can't be held up in the court of law
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: when the game is done, because I'm not that sane
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: human right now. I'm functioning purely from a place of
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: high emotion and high energy.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: One last thing about pictures and then I'll move on
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: for you for your benefit andres Munos. I mean, they're
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: obviously keeping him in that closure role. I would keep
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: him in that closure role. What would Ryan Healy do?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I was so happy to see him back out the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: next day. Everyone knows the free bases to have to stop,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and I would say the game of inches, in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: game of you know, really close, calls that challenge what
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that did. Last night, I was watching the bottle of
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the ninth inning and I was thinking, man, the fact
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: that that run didn't score on that double play from
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Julio to Bliss and then also does strike three to
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo two run saving plays. There was a walk
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that Muna's had the ninth inning last night, Yeah, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the tying run was still standing on deck. Whereas if
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: one of those two run scores, Munos walks, that guy,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: now the tying runs standing to play, and they're swinging
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: away from time to game like, those are the moments.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: And I guess is as a fan, if you're feeling
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the anxiety of your closer, who is so good and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: has been so great over his career, coming in of
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, he's gonna get it done today, you
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: can imagine that he's probably feeling some of that too.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: So now Munyos is battling that internal voice standing in
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the pitcher's mount of am I gonna get the job
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: done today?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Verse?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I need to execute this pitch And it's a constant
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: push and pull, every single one. And I would like
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to see them keep him in that role and allow
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: him the opportunity to work through this because this experience
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of the failure and that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: That mind, that kind of that a man, how do
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I say this properly for the air.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: There's a voice in your head that we call a
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: certain name that isn't kind, But there's a voice in
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: your head that's like, try convince you of the fact
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that you might stink as a player, or that you
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: can't get the job done. And it's not truthful, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it can happen. And to see him work through that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: day in and day out, and the Mariners continue to
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: throw him out there to allow him to work through
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that could serve him so so good and this team
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: so well in the long run.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean the stuff's still there. I mean he
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: threw of his nastiest sliders he threw all season long
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: last night. He's throwing just as hard as we need
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: him to throw. It's just a command thing. So I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: don't think he's that far off, and so it's just
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a matter of getting him back into rhythm. Ryan Heay
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is with Hiss, former Mariner, now part of Mariner's television crew.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So last time we checked, we had a shortstop issue.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Who do we play at shortstop? And now we might
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not have either one of them for a little while,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: depending on the news we get about cold Emerson's back.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But that was a little shocking to find out that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: JP went on the IL, which I wasn't expecting. And
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: then moments later Cold Emerson's unavailable as well. What was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your reaction in that moment? I was shocked as well.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I was I think the game started and I was
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: actually in the batting cage of work with some hitters,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and I pulled up the game real quick and the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Marriagers down one nothing, and the first thing I saw
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: was JP Crawford goes into the IL and then Colt
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Emerson scratched. I was like, oh no, who's playing short?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Like they had to have made a move and that's
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: how Ryan Blizz came up. Okay, they have some coverage
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: at least to play there. And then I saw Cole
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Young is playing short. It's like, oh I saw Cole
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: play play shortstop in spring training, Like he can be serviceable.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: They're no problem. But it just made me think immediately,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: like where's Brendan Donovan? And we probably haven't talked about
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Brendan Donovan a ton because of how good Colt Emerson
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: has been. But this is the moment when you're like, man,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: where's the middle infield depth that this team and organization has.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: And they have the bodies, but unfortunately there's a ton
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: of them on the IL right now. But let's just
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: say this from I understand how different does this team
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: look without JP Crawford in it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I would like to see it, honestly, because I was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you about Brendan Donovan. That was gonna be
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: my next question when he comes back, what's it look like?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I honestly, Ryan would like to see Emerson at short
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and Donovan at third. And I know you don't feel
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I don't, but listen, I understand why you want Emerson
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to play shortstop. I completely understand. And the numbers can
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: validate some things, but also the numbers are so accessible
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to fans and media. But what fans and media don't
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: have is they don't have that eye of seeing how
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: productive an infielder outfitter is on a day to day basis.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And I was talking to Perry Hill about this because
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I'm My question was about Julio and then some of
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the infielders and the numbers and analytics, like how much
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: do you look at that? He goes it doesn't make
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: sense to me. He's like, the numbers don't add up
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the league wide analytics that they use. There are some
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that are that are valid, but they're also very skewed
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and just for fans perspective. Teams have started making their
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: own analytical formulas to evaluate a defender because they don't
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: trust the ones that are league wide, so they've started
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to find their own ways to evaluate a player's value.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: It's and it's it's so fascinating to me, and it's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: not something I ever stood of the player. I do
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: think that there's a problem there's a rotation of JP
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: cult playing shortstop, But I think JP's bat has been
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: so effective. The traffic he creates on the base path
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: in of those two three four hitters does so much
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: good for this team. I do think that Brendan Donovan
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: probably does lead off when he comes back, and you
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: look at his number like we're missing a like the
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Matters are missing an eight to fifty plus ops player
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: right now the season three hundred bats and that would
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: be a massive jolt right now. But also credit to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Colt Emerson. He has anchored down third base defensively, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: then it has stole some runs and some hits from
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of really good players.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And wherever he plays, he's gonna be special, all right.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: So if I'm rating into this, Ryan heay keeps JP
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: at short stop. Emerson is your third baseman. So where
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: would you then put Brendon Donovan. There'll be a rotation
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of those.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I think Brendan Donovan will give Cole Young a blow
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: once in a while. I think Brendan Donovan can slot
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: into And here's the issue. You can't slot actually Brendan
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Donovan into one of the out to a positions because
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna you might give Randy roserena a day,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: but also that to you posts every single day, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: you already got a platoon situation going on the right field,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: So adding a left handed bat to an already left handed.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Heavy rotation will be tough.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I really think that it's gonna have to be a
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: consistent rotation between the three infield spots of second, short,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and third, where you see four infielders now playing three
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: spots and you just kind of move them in a cycle.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: That's satisfactory. Everybody be satisfied with that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You think, No, it's a lot of people are gonna
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: completely dislike it. And I don't know if the Mariners
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: will enjoy it either, and I don't know if the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: players will enjoy it either. But it goes back to
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the starting surplus conversation that we've had.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Piggyback short stuff. It's a good problem to have.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: And I was dying, dying, laughing because I think the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Pirates did a piggyback the week after the Mariners were
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: going to the sixth me rotation.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, ooh, there's that trigger word. Someone else
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is doing it. Maybe they they started doing it. Yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it's it worked, and you look at the performance. It
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: worked for the Mariners. Hot topic though, my goodness, yeah,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: no doubt. Oh and it's still is triggering for a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: lot of fans even though it did work. Just the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: word itself. I don't like the word anymore. I'm done
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: with it. It's it's the starter start plus, starter surplus,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: got it all right? Man? Well, I appreciate you. We
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: thank you. I mean I had like thirteen more questions.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how do I ask him one more in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the time we have allowed? But you know what, I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: think this is a good time to break it off.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So great to see you. Great breakdown. We appreciate it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: We'll do it again next We see you next week. Yeah. Yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: we had a lot to cover. Yeah yeah, all right.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: There he is Ryan Heley, former Mariner, joining us right
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck in the Morning, A segment
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Dino's Pub in Renton. Yes, a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: great place to watch the game, just to hang out,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: maybe run into John Schneider. Dino's Pub in Renton is
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: your place for possible John Schneider encounters.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, if that's not a ringing endorsement, then what
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: is coming up next?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I really did have like thirteen more questions for Ryan.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I know when I was like when I you know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: I always let him know, like, Hey, these are some
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: of the things we might talk about.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I was like, there's just too much and he's just
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: gonna know. I don't need to send him a whole
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: long list coming.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Up next, though, we are going to do sup with
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you because we've asked you to help us. How do
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you want us on this show particularly? I don't want
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to speak for anybody else at KJAR any of the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: other shows, but for this show particularly, I really do
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: want to know. How do you want us to cover
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the World Cup for you? Sports Radio ninety three point
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Help us help you enjoy World Cup coverage
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck in the Mornings. Because I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: frankly don't know what to do. I really don't. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: know you don't want analysis from me. You shouldn't want
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: analysis from me, and I don't want to give it
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think anyone wants analysis from us. So
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: we've got that going for us. That's good news.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not equipped for that. So how do you want
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: us to cover the World Cup for you? So you
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: at least get some of it in the mornings, and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: maybe you don't want it at all, So whatever, whatever
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: your thoughts are, sup with you? Four nine four or
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: five to one, talkback YouTube a lot of ways to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: communicate with us.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: What do we got from the two o six up?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Just remember the US underperforms. If the US underperforms at
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: stan Wilson fault, just keep hammering on that, all right?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: So is that am I taking that as you're Is
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that a criticism of me? No?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's okay. Just focus on the Mariners more.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I think. Okay.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: We've also got this one that's along those lines from
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the fourty five. I'd much rather you be willing to
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: call out Munos for being awful this year. I'll get
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: my soccer news from ESPN.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Oh man, he's been here.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Not awful.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he hadn't been awful. Yeah, so I just
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: don't agree with that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I agree with that the two five three.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about gambling on soccer and try to win
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: some money. Make it about who's covering spreads and player
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: props that are on a hot streak.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Let's win some money.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so more of a gambling I don't even
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know one person who gambles on soccer. Yeah
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't either, until that you read that,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't even consider that. And that's silly on my
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: part because obviously, I mean, Brendan Soresby's gonna bet. Yeah,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I know that. Sure, you know he's all in on
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Trinidad and Tobago. I'm sure he was probably betting on
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the friendlies, probably probably probably taking Texas Tech minus the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: half goal. Uh so, yeah, that's an interesting angle. I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: don't do you know any soccer gambling experts?
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I don't, but I'm sure we could find one.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Jackson Feltz or Andrews, because that absolutely
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: we should be doing it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Fun, all right, I'm gonna write I'm gonna actually write
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that down. So the gambling angle, and I've already written
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: down like schedule wise, like updating you on pivotal games
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: even if I don't provide analysis, which I won't, updating
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: you on pivotal games and what they might mean to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the big picture. Okay, so that's what we're that's what
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do with. We've got two things so far. Yeah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Four two five says zero soccer coverage is great, thanks guys.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeap, okay, even though it's the World Cup.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Even though it's the World Cup, that's what they're saying.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Let's see if two five three says your team vibe,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: tell us about the festivities and local vibe, and that
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: kind of coincides with from the four two five. All
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I want to hear about this World Cup is traffic
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: updates and where I need to avoid.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: So people want to know locally, like how it's affecting them.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: See. I was just having this conversation with Ashley off
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the air, and I'm a I'm kind of a pullback
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the cover kind of hosts. Bosses usually hate that, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I was saying, I think it's more of a topic
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: for our friends down the hallway. It's bender and lifestyle stuff. Yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it's Bender and Jodie and Jewbile. I think that they
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: are probably going to talk about it more than what
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it at KGAAR, not that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: we're not aware of it, but the but providing analysis.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got two young up and comers in
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the soccer analysis world. That pretty much it. I mean,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I don't trust anybody else's. I don't trust softies analysis
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of soccer.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Not on the station. But that's why we're bringing in
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Brad Evans.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Well, Brad Evans. Yeah, we're gonna have guests, for sure,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that's a given. We're gonna have guests to talk about
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the US team and the entire tournament at large. But
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I think it is more of a it's taking over Seattle,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and that's more of a like a lifestyle conversation than
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: it really is a sports talk radio subject. But I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: might be wrong. Please correct me. That's why we're doing
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: this exercise. Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got more votes for soccer gambling segments, so
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: there we go.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna put a star by it now. Yeah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: The two O six says, just embrace it. Especially when
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the US plays Australia here in Seattle. Go to a
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: local soccer watering hole and dive on in, then come
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: back the next day and report on it. So that's
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: still more of the lifestyle, more of how you know
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: things are around town.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, soaking it all up.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I tell you what. Kangaroo and Kiwi? Is that still
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: around there in Ballard? I don't hang I used to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: live in Ballard, don't hang around there too much, but
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that was a great place to watch rugby. I'd go
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: there for rugby games, and so I would imagine that's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: still hopping to this day. I know who would know.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Jackson will ask him about that on Thursday.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's good.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Marcus says, love the World Cup, but not a
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: big soccer fan.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Bar talk for the group we're in. No analysis, just
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: bar talk.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: This bar talk. Yeah, okay, what is that though?
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: I think just like, oh, you know, just the big
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: highlights whatever, what people are talking about on social media.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Oh do you miss that? Did you see that? Yeah
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: that was awesome. Oh they flopped blah blah blahlahlah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So if another Frenchman headbuts somebody in the middle of
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the chest, we should talk about that. Then that becomes
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a topic and we go chuse it Dawn, thank you
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: for knowing what I was referring. You're welcome, yeah, but
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: not if somebody fakes an injury in the Cameroon.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Game, right, That's definitely not because.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: There will be thirteen of those in the first half.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: The two six says, please no soccer. Okay, that's the
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: easiest way for me. That's just cutting right to the chase.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: But honestly, I do want to provide flavor for here
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: on the show. I mean, we're a part of this world, right,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: We're a part of this community, and it is a
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: it's the biggest sporting event.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest sporting event that there is. Is a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: really big damn deal, and yet I'm just ill equipped
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to cover it the way that I would normally cover
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: a major sporting Right.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: We don't want to be pretenders. I don't want to
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: just sit here faking things so that we because we're
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: supposed to. We've got from the two six. It's not
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: too many times that a US team is considered an
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: underdog in a sport.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: In soccer, it is.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Imagine if we go on a run, it would be
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: like the miracle on ice, but on the pitch you
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: would want to be a part of that, wouldn't you.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: So that's like the talk though, the buzz, that's the
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: stuff that you talk about. Yeah, Team USA, how they
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: did things like that, any crazy stories. If there's a
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Cinderella team that just goes crazy, I guess US would
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: be the Cinderella team.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And I think we were already planning on doing that.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: When we're having Brad Evans on tomorrow and most, a
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: lot of art, not most, but a lot of the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: conversation's going to be about Team USA and whether they're
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: ready for that. So that seems to be a given.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have anders On and Jackson, we'll certainly. Yeah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I think every time we crack the mics, the US
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: team's going to be mentioned. Crack the mics about the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: World Cup, that is, Yeah, the US team's going to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: be woven in there somewhat. So probably should have been
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: said before we even asked for text, But I'm glad
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that you did mention that, because certainly that's an angle
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we'll cover.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, we got this one from the three six to
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: oh soccer scores and maybe US highlights. That's enough, Ashley,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: what's five iron's handicap? Well, he'd be mad if I
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: told you it's a two.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? Why would he be mad about that?
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Pretty high for him right now?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, I thought, isn't that good?
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: It is good, it's just a he's been better, so
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: he'd say he's not playing very well, right, all right,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: But there we go.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I think I think it's about it too.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's true handicap is his sensitivity to his handy.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he'd really be mad. I just
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I don't know. I think it's a two.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be like, no, don't talk about it. Yeah,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: and it's real.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, scores certainly will be handled in what's on tap
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and the headlines for sure. So yes, we got that covered.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: And from the four two five step Chuck and' ash.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: What's up with Bucky? Is he really on medical leave
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: or is he just getting ready for the home run derby?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: We honestly don't know. Now, there is this law that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: we aren't really allowed to even contact.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Him, right because of because of the leave.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's on medical leave, and so the company
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: can't look like we're putting any pressure on him at
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: all to come back, right, So if you give him
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a phone, even if it's encouragement, Hey can't wait to
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: get you back, or hey, how's it, then that can.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Bets assuring him one way or another.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: That could be seen as he's feeling pressure to come back.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: And so there's really we don't know, And I think
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: there's a very good chance he's just taking the time
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: off to watch the World Cup and get ready for
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the home run derby.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: I mean that's what you're asked, way to use a
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: good way to put your time to good use.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Though the answer is yes, yes, What was the question again?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Just yes?
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: The question was is he really on medical leave or
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: is he taking the time to train for the home
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: run derby?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: No? And yes?

• 29:01
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. All right, final segment. One last thing
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: from Ashley and myself, Ashley, what do you got?
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: So you know, we talk about how it doesn't take
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: a lot for at professional athletes to make a big impact,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: especially on kids and the public. I mean, we saw
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: cal I guess he stayed around Everett and signed a
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: lot of autographs or during his stay up there, which
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: was great because it was a sold out game, a
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: lot of people up there to watch. Paul Skenes did
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: something similar but actually even just a little bit cooler.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: He was driving by a little league field yesterday, I guess,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: and decided to stop and then played catch with all
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: the kids. Oh great, and then hung out for over
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: two hours signing autographs and playing with these kids that
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: he just happened to drive by, which means he was
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: going somewhere, right, He was probably going home. He was
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: probably gonna go relax on his own, and he thought no,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I got to go do this instead goes a long way,
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: goes a long way. And I just thought, wow, that
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: is really awesome that you would take not even I
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: mean even if he's gone for fifteen minutes and said hi,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: that would have been awesome.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Have you seen that video Salvador Perez where there was
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a they were playing woofle ball in their backyard. You
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: know the whole setup, hyeah, you try to figure out
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: your field and where's the home run fit. I mean
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that just that old school set up that a lot
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: of us have done, playing woffle ball in the backyard.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And he saw them playing and he not only got
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: out to say hi, he played with them.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: He was running bases, so do pres doesn't even like
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: running bases.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Right away, he doesn't do that at work.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: But yeah, skiing, same thing. So he went and played catch.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I mean that guy plays catch for a living. Yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: and was like it's like, yeah, I could do that,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: that's fine.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Of course the bases were shorter for Salvador.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Well that's true. Maybe it was more like a jump anyway.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: It's just it's nice to see these guys that take that,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: that know the platform that they have and what just
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: a couple of minutes.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Can what impact that can make?
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: So does it take a low It does not, No, doesn't.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And nobody's telling you to like run some big giant
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: charity event. Just if you've got two minutes. Yeah, say
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: hi to your fans, that's it, especially kids. Oh yeah,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and let them know that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Those kids are never going to forget that. They're never
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: going to forget Paul Skeins and he's now probably gonna
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: be their favorite player for the rest of their lives.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Paul's got nothing else going for him though, that's true.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his life is in shambles.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to close with this. I mean, I know
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: we talked a lot of baseball today and so I
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: probably should go in NBA Finals. We haven't talked about
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that since Headlines at seven.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: But.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Because we've been talking so much about relief pitching, I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: just want to point out that even though I'm having
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: trouble with this here, I have Ryan Healey, former major leaguer,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and it's not And I liked his response to it
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: because it's definitely not standing out to him that Dan
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: is struggling with his bullpen decisions. So you know, I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: know it is for a lot of people that are
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: listening right now.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: It certainly is for me, But here's a major leader saying, no,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I don't see anything that I think is wrong. You know,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: certainly there's some question. Everybody's got their opinion on how
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: it should be handled. But he says he doesn't see
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: anything that's wrong. That said, since you can't do it
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the way I want you to do it, Dan, I'm
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you in advance, let's see it all right,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So logan Gilbert tonight, we're gonna try to get six
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: out of him, and then we should have who the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Zardo for the seventh or Spire depending on Henderson, Alonzo
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and Cowser. Those are the three guys I want him
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: facing tonight. And then for Rare is going to be
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: our closer tonight as Munos, Criswell, and Brash, I'm assuming
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: are getting days off because Brass can only pitch once
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: a week and Munos can't pitch three straight days, that's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: for sure. He Yeah, he usually came pitch two, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I would imagine Criswell can't pitch three straight days either,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So that's how it works. And then if Gilbert can
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: only go five, hopefully he doesn't hoppies your six.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you're not putting all the pressure.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: At the end of the game, all right, and then
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you go if it's a if it's Henderson, Alonso and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Cowser coming up, spire. Otherwise we say spire for when
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: they come up, and then we close it out with Ferrara.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: So there he go. Does just do that?
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Well, let's see if he's listening.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And I won't complain tomorrow. Pretty easy. Pretty easy, by
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the way, they're throwing a left hander tonight. And Trevor Rodgers,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: he's been what an odd career. He was great when
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: he came up with the Marlins, and then he became terrible,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and then they got rid of him for a song,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden in Baltimore he became great,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and now this year's terrible again. He got like an
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: era around seven. Of course, he is left handed, so
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter if he's terrible and he faces
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the Mariners.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll do it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: So, yes, it'll be Gilbert versus the odd ball tonight
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: at three thirty five. We'll talk about it tomorrow at
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: five o'clock. Excuse me, six o'clock.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to be here at five, so
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: good luck.
• 33:57
