Speaker 1: to admit it, certainly, the Dodgers and the Blue Jays
1:57
Speaker 1: gave us an all time classic last night in Game
2:00
Speaker 1: number three. Thanks to Fox with the audio there if
2:03
Speaker 1: you didn't stay up for it. Freddie Freeman hit a
2:06
Speaker 1: eighteenth inning home run to walk off the Toronto Blue
2:10
Speaker 1: Jays last night, a game that pretty much had everything
2:14
Speaker 1: and then nothing, and even the nothing was fascinating because
2:18
Speaker 1: previously the game had had everything, and so it came
2:22
Speaker 1: down to Freeman walking it off in the bottom of
2:24
Speaker 1: the eighteenth and Dodger fans like more than ten stuck
2:27
Speaker 1: around for it.
2:28
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
2:29
Speaker 1: It was actually a good crowdstill on hand for the

2:43
Speaker 1: The only two guys that didn't pitch it feels last
2:47
Speaker 1: night in the game, so crazy crazy crazy contests last
2:52
Speaker 1: night in Los Angeles. The rest of your headlines brought
2:55
Speaker 1: to you by Frostbrewed Corps Light Choose Chill. We are
2:58
Speaker 1: one week away from the National Football League trading deadline,
3:01
Speaker 1: something that we'll discuss a little bit with Greg Bell.
3:04
Speaker 1: Seahawks coming off the by officially after the week in
3:08
Speaker 1: the National Football League wrapped up with Kansas City defeating
3:11
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders twenty eight to seven Westwood One with
3:15
Speaker 1: a highlight there in that highlight package. The Commanders are
3:19
Speaker 1: the Seahawks next opponent. We'll face them Sunday Night football
3:23
Speaker 1: and the Commanders are three and five now on the season.
3:28
Speaker 1: Husky's going on by this week, but all the talking
3:30
Speaker 1: college football is about head coach mid season firings. We'll
3:34
Speaker 1: discuss that topic with Rick new Isil today at nine o'clock.
3:38
Speaker 1: Cracking are inaction against Montreal at home tonight seven thirty.
3:42
Speaker 1: They will drop the puck Ebert Fitzi. You will join
3:45
Speaker 1: us at eight thirty and it is a Cracking ticket Tuesday,
3:47
Speaker 1: so be listening for your opportunity to win tickets to
3:50
Speaker 1: an upcoming Cracking game. When you hear the piece of
3:54
Speaker 1: audio played, be the tenth caller at two O six
3:56
Speaker 1: two eight six ninety five ninety five for your chance.
4:00
Speaker 1: It's at a pair of tickets to an upcoming cracking game.
4:03
Speaker 1: And the Sounders lost their first match of the playoffs
4:06
Speaker 1: in Minnesota last night. No goals scored in regulation, no
4:10
Speaker 1: goals scored an extra time. It came down to a shootout,
4:14
Speaker 1: and somehow the Sounders missed on three of their five
4:17
Speaker 1: shootout kicks, and so Minnesota grabs game number one of
4:21
Speaker 1: the series. But it is a best of three, so
4:24
Speaker 1: Sounder's still a chance to prevail before all is said
4:27
Speaker 1: and done. All right, those are your headlines. It's now
4:30
Speaker 1: time to talk to our Seahawks insider.
4:31
Speaker 2: Greg Bell.
4:32
Speaker 1: Joining us now is our Seahawks insider from the News Tribune,
4:35
Speaker 1: Greg Bell, Good morning, Greg.
4:36
Speaker 3: Good morning.
4:38
Speaker 1: What kind of team?
4:39
Speaker 3: I mean?
4:39
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched the Monday Night football
4:42
Speaker 1: last night, but we can now start sizing up our opponent.
4:45
Speaker 1: We got a full night to scout the Washington Commanders
4:48
Speaker 1: last night. Dan Quinn feels like he's just trying to
4:50
Speaker 1: keep that thing together with you know, scotch tape and
4:53
Speaker 1: glue right now, a lot of injuries. They're certainly not
4:57
Speaker 1: the team they were a year ago. And even though
4:59
Speaker 1: they hun with the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half,
5:02
Speaker 1: there was a big discrepancy between those two teams that
5:05
Speaker 1: got exposed in the second half. So what's dan Quinn
5:08
Speaker 1: rolling in with Sunday night against the Seahawks.
5:12
Speaker 3: Well, I watched parts of the game I was I
5:15
Speaker 3: thought the World Series and even the Sounders game were
5:18
Speaker 3: better options than watching a.
5:20
Speaker 2: Football game, so they did that. They are injured.
5:25
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels, their quarterback, didn't play yesterday with a hamstring injury.
5:28
Speaker 3: Originally it was that he probably would play this game
5:31
Speaker 3: Sunday Night against the Seahawks, and now there's reports out
5:34
Speaker 3: of DC that they're waiting and seeing that may not
5:37
Speaker 3: be for sure. They've had a lot of injuries on
5:41
Speaker 3: out their skill guys, and McClaren, their veteran wide receiver,
5:45
Speaker 3: hasn't played most of this season, and their defense has
5:48
Speaker 3: been beating up. They're old, and they were running it
5:52
Speaker 3: back with guys like Bobby Wagner, who actually had an
5:54
Speaker 3: interception off of deflection last night, fourteenth interception.
5:58
Speaker 1: Of his career.
5:59
Speaker 3: But they mostly ran it back on their defense that
6:02
Speaker 3: was older, and now they're beating up two. So they're
6:07
Speaker 3: three and five and haven't had their bye week yet,
6:10
Speaker 3: which they need, and of course not going to have
6:13
Speaker 3: it this week. Shorter week, although the trip isn't that
6:16
Speaker 3: far from Kansas City. But there's this rest quotient that
6:20
Speaker 3: a lot of people look at it. Who has the
6:22
Speaker 3: rest advantage hitting into games? And the Seahawks have the
6:25
Speaker 3: rest advantage in this one playing one, haven't played ten
6:29
Speaker 3: that it'll be what thirteen fourteen days since thirteen days
6:34
Speaker 3: between games, so and only five when he Washington didn't
6:38
Speaker 3: even get back home till this morning. Some more like
6:41
Speaker 3: five days for the Commanders. So all that's in the
6:44
Speaker 3: Seahawks favor here. Having said that, if Daniels comes back,
6:48
Speaker 3: it's a totally different deal. Marcus Mariota was a quarterback
6:51
Speaker 3: last night in Kansas City, and yes he's mobile, Yes
6:53
Speaker 3: the extend played, Yes they can run the same offense
6:56
Speaker 3: that Daniels runs. But he took him to the NFC
6:59
Speaker 3: to game and took the league by storm last year,
7:02
Speaker 3: and that's a big deal. If he can't play the
7:06
Speaker 3: entire game, changes in Seattle favor to me, so did
7:11
Speaker 3: most games come down to the quarterback? The status of
7:13
Speaker 3: the quarterback in this game is the big issue for
7:16
Speaker 3: the week.
7:17
Speaker 2: Do they prepare different? Not knowing for sure whether Jade
7:21
Speaker 2: because to me, I wouldn't feel like you would have to.
7:23
Speaker 2: I think Marcus Mariota part of the reason they brought
7:26
Speaker 2: him in as the backup is he's similar, just not
7:29
Speaker 2: as good. Jayden Daniels are doing the same types of things.
7:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, Bucky. They would prepare the same way
7:35
Speaker 3: because Washington would run similar. But they were running as
7:38
Speaker 3: a little I watched last night. They were running rpo plays,
7:41
Speaker 3: they were running quarterback keepers, they were running quarterback read
7:45
Speaker 3: options and keeping the ball and running and Mariotta was
7:48
Speaker 3: running a lot more than most NFL quarterbacks do on
7:50
Speaker 3: designed quarterback runs. They will do that, but you're right
7:55
Speaker 3: better with Daniels, So yeah, you can bet that they
7:59
Speaker 3: will ever admit this. NFL players never would and Mariota
8:03
Speaker 3: has played in so many games with so many teams
8:05
Speaker 3: over the years, but they will all take a sigh
8:08
Speaker 3: of relief if Daniels doesn't play. They think, Okay, we
8:12
Speaker 3: can do this, but they will That's just human nature.
8:16
Speaker 3: Daniels gest was supernatural last year and for him not
8:21
Speaker 3: to play would be a real break for Seattle run
8:25
Speaker 3: and pass, and it would to me tilt the game
8:27
Speaker 3: in their favor.
8:29
Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks inside. You can
8:31
Speaker 1: follow Greg at gmail, Seattle on x, and of course
8:34
Speaker 1: Seahawks coverage provided every second of every day at the
8:37
Speaker 1: News Tribune dot com. He's ours to discuss Seahawks football
8:42
Speaker 1: with nearly every day at seven five thanks to the
8:46
Speaker 1: Delacado family.
8:47
Speaker 2: Wines.
8:47
Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about the bye week. I mean,
8:51
Speaker 1: every coach approaches it differently. You've now been around Mike
8:54
Speaker 1: McDonald for a couple of years. Is he one of
8:57
Speaker 1: those get away from here and I don't want to
9:00
Speaker 1: see you again? Does he encourage people like Tony Romo
9:04
Speaker 1: to take Jessica Simpson to Mexico during the bye week?
9:07
Speaker 1: Is he that type of coach? Or is he don't
9:10
Speaker 1: leave the center too much, especially if you're in reab
9:14
Speaker 1: We got work to do, gentlemen. What kind of approach
9:16
Speaker 1: does he take to the bye week?
9:18
Speaker 3: Well, the former he said that he's having to kick
9:21
Speaker 3: coaches out of a facility, and some of them stay
9:23
Speaker 3: too long. He's I think he's changed even in talking
9:29
Speaker 3: about it compared to last year, because he has a
9:31
Speaker 3: young son who was born last winter. And when your dad,
9:35
Speaker 3: it's the first time, Dad, I can tell you from experience,
9:39
Speaker 3: your world perspective changes and all of a sudden, whatever
9:43
Speaker 3: you're doing for work doesn't quite matter as much as
9:45
Speaker 3: it used to. As a matter of fact, whatever you're
9:47
Speaker 3: doing before you had a kid, regardless work, play golf,
9:51
Speaker 3: it just changes. Buck. You'll test the Nashley'll test it
9:55
Speaker 3: as well. So he's somewhat different in that regard. He's
10:00
Speaker 3: the player when I first started covering the league. And
10:02
Speaker 3: this makes me sound like a dinosaur, but in the
10:04
Speaker 3: early two thousands, the players practiced in their bye week.
10:09
Speaker 3: That was the norm around the NFL. They would practice
10:13
Speaker 3: maybe Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then be off for the
10:16
Speaker 3: rest of the weekend. Have a three day weekend. And
10:19
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll actually was one of the four bearers of
10:22
Speaker 3: Now you get the entire week off, and the Seahawks
10:25
Speaker 3: case they didn't even have McDonald has swung around the
10:28
Speaker 3: other way so much. He didn't have them come in
10:30
Speaker 3: for film. The day after the Houston game, I had
10:34
Speaker 3: the Tuesday, after the Monday night Houston game. I asked him, well,
10:37
Speaker 3: did you show this at film today? And he's like, oh,
10:39
Speaker 3: I didn't even have him come in. So they were
10:42
Speaker 3: done from Monday night at Luomenfield, tearing out of the
10:44
Speaker 3: parking lot and gone wherever they went. They had an
10:48
Speaker 3: extra night and full day Tuesday of that. So yeah,
10:53
Speaker 3: he was way on the other side of get the
10:55
Speaker 3: heck out of here. Having said all that, we were
10:58
Speaker 3: talking to him yesterday about some three time things and
11:01
Speaker 3: somebody asked her, if you had an extra day, a
11:03
Speaker 3: twenty fifth hour in your day, what would you do,
11:05
Speaker 3: and he said something football related, and I thought, I
11:08
Speaker 3: thought to myself, your wife probably doesn't want to hear
11:11
Speaker 3: that right now when she's got a six month old
11:13
Speaker 3: at home. But he has given them. I won't say
11:19
Speaker 3: it's different than last year, but his perspective to me
11:21
Speaker 3: has changed out of just the course of maturing and
11:25
Speaker 3: being now a father. He did say the coaches did
11:28
Speaker 3: a dive on especially the offense in the running game,
11:32
Speaker 3: and his summation of what they found was we're closed
11:36
Speaker 3: and we don't need a ton of changes. We're going
11:38
Speaker 3: to stick it with what we're doing, which is what
11:40
Speaker 3: we talked about yesterday, probably will do. And he was asked,
11:44
Speaker 3: do you anticipated did you think about during the buy
11:47
Speaker 3: any personnel changes on the offensive line? You can imagine
11:50
Speaker 3: which ones we're talking about. But Brady Henderson of ESPN
11:54
Speaker 3: dot com was smart enough not the name names because
11:56
Speaker 3: he wouldn't answer that, and he said, no, no, we
11:59
Speaker 3: didn't take about personnel changes. So Anthony Bradford will stay
12:02
Speaker 3: the right guard, although he has struggled mightily, and according
12:07
Speaker 3: to mcdonnoald, nothing will change there. What will change in
12:09
Speaker 3: the running game is that Robbie Utz is going to play.
12:12
Speaker 3: He came back to practice yesterday. He was desigated to
12:14
Speaker 3: return from injured reserve in the morning and practiced in
12:17
Speaker 3: the afternoon. His teammates were saying welcome back and patting
12:20
Speaker 3: him on the back. They needed two hundred and seventy
12:23
Speaker 3: five pounds fullback. They drafted for the job last year
12:27
Speaker 3: with the Saints the Clint Kibiak Randy formation with fullback
12:31
Speaker 3: twenty five percent of the time. So far this season,
12:35
Speaker 3: they've only win. Oots has missed last four games. They've
12:37
Speaker 3: only been in twenty one formation twenty one personnel, which
12:41
Speaker 3: is two backs and one tight end eleven percent of
12:44
Speaker 3: the time. They've been in twenty two two backs and
12:47
Speaker 3: two tight ends only ten percent of the time. So
12:51
Speaker 3: by and large, they're using two backs far feward as
12:54
Speaker 3: pretty Russells had to be the fill in fullback, and
12:57
Speaker 3: those numbers should get back up to twenty percent now
12:59
Speaker 3: that they got Robbie Hoots back and they can do
13:02
Speaker 3: a lot more, as McDonald said, in two back sets
13:05
Speaker 3: with Loots at fullback, and perhaps their run game will
13:08
Speaker 3: spike just because they get their starting full back back.
13:11
Speaker 2: Gee. I mean, I think when you're sitting in first place,
13:14
Speaker 2: you know at this point in the season, you know
13:16
Speaker 2: it's not something to criticize in a bad way necessarily,
13:20
Speaker 2: but constructive criticism wise. The run game is the thing
13:23
Speaker 2: we continue to talk about that doesn't look as good
13:26
Speaker 2: as we had hoped, or that they want or however
13:29
Speaker 2: you want to look at that. What is the reason
13:32
Speaker 2: is it health that they're not going just more to
13:36
Speaker 2: Ken Walker? You know, it's not going to be more
13:38
Speaker 2: of a time split thing where you're kind of breaking
13:41
Speaker 2: up carries fairly evenly, even maybe not exactly even because
13:45
Speaker 2: it's just the numbers wise, he's running the ball far
13:47
Speaker 2: better than Jack charbonnay is Is it just trying to
13:49
Speaker 2: keep them both healthy or what?
13:52
Speaker 3: YEP, been trying to play the long game. For Walker.
13:54
Speaker 3: We've talked about, I've talked about the foot issue they've
13:58
Speaker 3: been managing since August is not going away very easily,
14:01
Speaker 3: and they've become convinced that he can't run seventy five
14:05
Speaker 3: percent of the snaps for the season. Charbone has run
14:08
Speaker 3: fifty four percent of the snaps, yet is the lowest
14:11
Speaker 3: yards per carry in the league among guys who are regulars,
14:15
Speaker 3: and Walker is at forty three percent of the offensive
14:19
Speaker 3: snaps and an outside zone. As you pointed out, he's
14:22
Speaker 3: a five and a half yards of carry guy, and
14:26
Speaker 3: they just haven't run as much outside zone because Walker
14:28
Speaker 3: has him on the field as much. It's one point
14:32
Speaker 3: something for Charbone in outside zone runs five point five
14:35
Speaker 3: to one point one on your bellcal play. It seems
14:39
Speaker 3: like a no brainer to put Walker in. And I
14:42
Speaker 3: get Twitter messages and emails from fans during games saying
14:46
Speaker 3: why isn't Walker Why don't you ask him? Well, I
14:48
Speaker 3: have asked him and I got the answer. He won't
14:51
Speaker 3: come out and say he's got a foot injury because
14:54
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to advertise it. But I learned that
14:57
Speaker 3: back in Green Bay at the last week of August
14:59
Speaker 3: that this wasn't going to and it was something they're
15:00
Speaker 3: going to have to manage. A couple of people on
15:02
Speaker 3: the team told me that, and that's what that's where
15:05
Speaker 3: this stands. Walker is all for this job share agreement
15:09
Speaker 3: because he's trying to get through seventeen games. We've talked
15:11
Speaker 3: about this. It's the last year of his contract, so
15:14
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to miss a game because every week
15:17
Speaker 3: is an audition to get a new contract, whether it's
15:19
Speaker 3: in Seattle, which somewhere else he's planned for his future.
15:21
Speaker 3: He right now is scheduled to get zero dollars from
15:24
Speaker 3: zero teams next year. That's the nature of this league.
15:27
Speaker 3: So he needs to be on the field. So if
15:29
Speaker 3: it takes him to Billy only forty percent of the
15:31
Speaker 3: snaps in a game, he's gonna do it. And he's
15:33
Speaker 3: not gonna complain because he wants to play every game.
15:38
Speaker 3: The eyes tell you, common sense tells you just put
15:41
Speaker 3: Walker in the game the entire game and see how
15:42
Speaker 3: your run game improves. They have come convinced that they
15:46
Speaker 3: won't be able to do that and get him to
15:48
Speaker 3: get through the entire season.
15:50
Speaker 1: All right, So we're a week away from the NFL
15:51
Speaker 1: trading deadline. What's the temperature of that water right now?
15:54
Speaker 1: It's the with the Seahawks.
15:57
Speaker 3: Well, I knew this was gonna happen. Someone's gonna ask him,
15:59
Speaker 3: do you expect to be active for the microschoan to
16:02
Speaker 3: go or the athletic astim what do you expect to
16:04
Speaker 3: be active before the trade deadline? Which is November fourth,
16:06
Speaker 3: next Tuesday. And he's always active, you know us where
16:11
Speaker 3: John Schneider is. He loves to say that, and everyone
16:14
Speaker 3: in Seattle loves to say that, But there is some
16:17
Speaker 3: truth behind that. They, as we've talked about before, they
16:20
Speaker 3: make a ton of calls and their type of want
16:22
Speaker 3: to be in on everything. They want to hear what
16:24
Speaker 3: the league's talking about. They want to float out their
16:27
Speaker 3: own trade proposals to see if they're any bites. So
16:30
Speaker 3: they're doing that right now. Whether that results into anything,
16:33
Speaker 3: I don't know. He had the weekuell In situation. I
16:36
Speaker 3: think when there's where they smoke, there's fire. In this case,
16:39
Speaker 3: he to me is the odd man out. If they
16:41
Speaker 3: want to keep even worry as the nickel that would
16:44
Speaker 3: put Weatherspoon as an outside corner, which he hasn't been.
16:47
Speaker 3: He's been a primary nickel until the emergence of Weierston
16:50
Speaker 3: even worried, if even worry, if they keep him where
16:53
Speaker 3: he's excelled, and why wouldn't you then to me, it's
16:56
Speaker 3: Witherspoon and Job at the two starting corners. I don't
16:59
Speaker 3: think you benched Job over Woolan. So I would think
17:03
Speaker 3: Woolan's the odd man out, which means he's a piece
17:05
Speaker 3: you don't need once everybody's healthy. Of course, you could
17:09
Speaker 3: use him when everyone's not been healthy, which has been
17:11
Speaker 3: for most of the season, so they will probably try
17:14
Speaker 3: to dangle a former Pro Bowl rookie cornerback and see
17:18
Speaker 3: what the interest is. I don't think it's going to
17:21
Speaker 3: be enough to trade him, because, as I mentioned, if
17:24
Speaker 3: they held on to him and lose him in free agency,
17:26
Speaker 3: they could end up he may qualify as a third
17:28
Speaker 3: round comp pick because of all the playing time in
17:31
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl he made, and no team in the
17:34
Speaker 3: league I would think is going to trade a third
17:36
Speaker 3: round pick for him at this point, knowing that Seorks
17:39
Speaker 3: aren't even probably going to start him. We'll see how
17:41
Speaker 3: this stakes out on Washington on Sunday night in Washington.
17:44
Speaker 3: But when he doesn't start, as I don't expect him to,
17:48
Speaker 3: his trade value to me will go down. For what
17:50
Speaker 3: Why would someone trade decent value for a guy who's
17:53
Speaker 3: now been benched?
17:55
Speaker 1: All right, last minute? Here, how many innings did you
17:57
Speaker 1: make it last night?
17:58
Speaker 3: Then, Paul and Sir captivated? I was captivated. My son,
18:04
Speaker 3: who gets a bit four point thirty for work right now,
18:06
Speaker 3: who's living with us for temporary job.
18:09
Speaker 2: He tried to make it.
18:10
Speaker 3: He actually turned and fell asleep on the floor in
18:12
Speaker 3: front of the fireplace. But then but they heard me
18:16
Speaker 3: exclaim when Freddy Freeman hit the home run. But yeah,
18:20
Speaker 3: that baseball at its best this time of jan have
18:23
Speaker 3: to tell this show this, it's the best. It's better
18:26
Speaker 3: than that Monday night football. It's better than that show
18:29
Speaker 3: that Sounders tried to put on went straight to penalties
18:32
Speaker 3: last night, and those penalty kicks were not very good.
18:35
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah that they I mean the Seattle games
18:41
Speaker 3: in Toronto. And here I turned in Toronto in the
18:44
Speaker 3: press box to my colleagues from the Seattle Times, and
18:47
Speaker 3: I said, man, we're pretty fortunate to be here. This
18:50
Speaker 3: is sports at its best. Yeah, and it's the last
18:53
Speaker 3: night was great.
18:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was unbelievable.
18:56
Speaker 1: Six hours and thirty nine minutes of mad Yeah.
18:59
Speaker 2: You got start getting up with five o'clock.
19:01
Speaker 1: Good for you. Yeah, all right, man, Well we'll talk
19:05
Speaker 1: more tomorrow.
19:05
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Happy Tuesday. Thank you.
19:08
Speaker 2: All right.
19:08
Speaker 1: Greg Bellarcius insider joining us right here on Chuck and
19:12
Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning is segment brought to you by
19:13
Speaker 1: the Delacado Family Wines. They offer a portfolio of premium
19:17
Speaker 1: lines from a selection of the most desirable vineyards from
19:20
Speaker 1: notable wine growing regions in California, Germany and Chile. That's
19:24
Speaker 1: right there. International The winery harvest grapes from more than
19:28
Speaker 1: six thousand acres of estate vineyards in California's Napa, Low Die,
19:32
Speaker 1: Monterey and Sonoma regions to craft wines that express the
19:36
Speaker 1: diversity of these appellations. Delacado Family Wines coming up next.
19:41
Speaker 1: More on the NFL trading deadline and how I think
19:44
Speaker 1: that there's a chance John Schneider is going to have
19:47
Speaker 1: one foot in each boat. Plus factor fiction, My pick
19:50
Speaker 1: Today Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM. We went
20:00
Speaker 1: back to fiction coming up at seven thirty five, so
20:03
Speaker 1: not a lot of time to discuss this. We do
20:06
Speaker 1: have a week to sort of break it down in
20:08
Speaker 1: greater detail. I'll probably spend more time on it tomorrow,
20:10
Speaker 1: but the NFL trade deadline is in a week from now.
20:15
Speaker 1: Greg Bell said that of course John Schneider is going
20:18
Speaker 1: to be participatory from the standpoint of making the phone calls.
20:23
Speaker 1: I don't think he can resist himself. I think he's
20:25
Speaker 1: going to make a trade. I wouldn't be surprised if
20:27
Speaker 1: he made a couple of trades between now and the
20:29
Speaker 1: trading deadline. And even though there's sort of feeling around
20:35
Speaker 1: the National Football League that teams are extraordinarily thin at
20:38
Speaker 1: offensive line, pass rusher, and cornerback, it might not make
20:42
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to move when you're in contention
20:47
Speaker 1: a cornerback like Tarik Woollen. It wouldn't surprise me at
20:50
Speaker 1: all if he moved him to get to get a pick,
20:56
Speaker 1: and then also moved to pick to get a player
21:00
Speaker 1: that he wanted, either another cornerback or another pass rusher.
21:04
Speaker 1: So I do think he's going to be active, and
21:09
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't sell on Woolen
21:12
Speaker 1: just so he could buy something else. I think he
21:16
Speaker 1: might play that. You know, I'm going to play both
21:18
Speaker 1: sides of the fence kind of game, even though we
21:20
Speaker 1: are clearly contenders that we are not sellers. But if
21:24
Speaker 1: there's not a spot for Rek Woolan in this secondary
21:26
Speaker 1: with everybody getting healthy right now and a lot of
21:29
Speaker 1: teams want to give you value because they're desperate for
21:32
Speaker 1: defensive back help right now, wouldn't surprise me at all.
21:35
Speaker 1: If John Schneider took advantage of that.
21:37
Speaker 2: I won't be surprised. I mean, you're playing with fire
21:40
Speaker 2: to some degree just because of the how important, well,
21:44
Speaker 2: every position is important. But if you all of a
21:47
Speaker 2: sudden had a game where you'd end up getting guys
21:50
Speaker 2: dinged up again, right if you all of a sudden,
21:52
Speaker 2: I mean I could see it four weeks from now,
21:54
Speaker 2: if you were to trade him and then all of
21:56
Speaker 2: a sudden like damn, I wish we had him back
21:58
Speaker 2: because of an injury situation. But you can't necessarily say, well,
22:01
Speaker 2: that value is not that I'm going to keep this
22:04
Speaker 2: insurance policy versus going out and using that as a
22:08
Speaker 2: bargaining chip to get something. In a roundabout way, that
22:12
Speaker 2: you feel like you actually need right now that you
22:14
Speaker 2: don't think of as an insurance policy. So I'm with
22:19
Speaker 2: you on that. I mean, I think that there's a
22:21
Speaker 2: few things you're thinking pass rushers, something possibly.
22:23
Speaker 1: Pass rusher, And I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't
22:26
Speaker 1: try to get cornerback depth, just somebody different. It wouldn't
22:29
Speaker 1: surprise me if he went like, right now, Green Bay
22:31
Speaker 1: has a guy by the name of Kingsley Anigbari, and
22:37
Speaker 1: if you watched Sunday night, he flashed. I mean, he
22:40
Speaker 1: made a couple plays and you're like, man, how was
22:42
Speaker 1: this guy not playing every down?
22:44
Speaker 2: He's just a reserve.
22:45
Speaker 1: And the reason he's not is because he was supposed
22:48
Speaker 1: to be the starter and they traded for Michael Parsons
22:50
Speaker 1: right before the season started. So if Green Bay, for example,
22:54
Speaker 1: who has a lot of problems in their secondary, would
22:57
Speaker 1: like Arek Woolen, and both of these players have expiring contracts,
23:01
Speaker 1: they're going to be free agents.
23:02
Speaker 2: At the end of the year.
23:04
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even be surprised if you saw a classic,
23:06
Speaker 1: oh one for one kind of swap right there, and
23:09
Speaker 1: then John looking for cornerback depth, you know, gets like
23:13
Speaker 1: a Cam Taylor Britt from the Bengals or one of
23:16
Speaker 1: these other teams that are nearly out of it, and
23:20
Speaker 1: you know, swaps a six seventh round pick in order
23:23
Speaker 1: to get some corner, true cornerback depth. I wouldn't be
23:26
Speaker 1: surprised if he gets really creative. I wouldn't be surprised
23:29
Speaker 1: if he made multiple moves by next Tuesday.
23:31
Speaker 2: Now we'll see him. It's going to be interesting to
23:33
Speaker 2: see what avenue they decide to go.
23:35
Speaker 1: Well, they dangled rec out there already, so that definitely
23:38
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me.
23:39
Speaker 2: If they can.
23:39
Speaker 1: We think they did. Yeah, yeah, but we shall see.
23:43
Speaker 1: All right, let's play some Factor fiction. Where's that to go?
23:46
Speaker 4: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
23:48
Speaker 4: thousand bucks and the.
23:50
Speaker 1: Ten thousand dollars grand prize.
23:53
Speaker 4: It's Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
23:57
Speaker 4: Hotel where every Day Feels Lucky. Factdoor Fiction is on
24:02
Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
24:08
Speaker 1: Alright, it's my pick today, and I love two college games.
24:13
Speaker 1: I mean love two college games this week, and I
24:17
Speaker 1: do have two picks this week, right, Yeah, So what
24:20
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get them both.
24:23
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to figure out which one is the
24:25
Speaker 1: least likely for Fame to steal. Oh yeah, always do
24:30
Speaker 1: that today, is it really? I guarantee he's gonna take
24:34
Speaker 1: one of these. You can mark it down. I'll write
24:37
Speaker 1: it down for you so you can read it off
24:38
Speaker 1: a slip of paper tomorrow. All right, So I am
24:41
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm going to kind of cost tossing a
24:43
Speaker 1: coin between these two games because I love them equally,
24:47
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go ahead and go with Arizona State
24:50
Speaker 1: getting six points at Iowa State. I'm picking against Iowa
24:55
Speaker 1: State at home for a second week in a row.
24:57
Speaker 1: It worked for me last week. They have lost five
25:00
Speaker 1: of six games against the spread. They have lost three
25:03
Speaker 1: consecutive games. They lost by fourteen when they were a
25:07
Speaker 1: favorite at home against BYU last week, and the previous
25:10
Speaker 1: week they beat Colorado in Colorado by only seven points.
25:15
Speaker 1: And I might be the worst team in Power five
25:17
Speaker 1: football right now, so I don't think Iowa State's going
25:21
Speaker 1: all that great. Meanwhile, Arizona State still a pretty good
25:25
Speaker 1: team with a really good head coach who this week
25:29
Speaker 1: got involved in trade rumors everywhere and stood on top
25:32
Speaker 1: of the table and said, I've got my dream job,
25:35
Speaker 1: which I think is going to fire up the troops
25:37
Speaker 1: this week. So giving them a touchdown on the road
25:40
Speaker 1: two teams that I think on a neutral field, Arizona
25:44
Speaker 1: State probably edges out. Anyway, you better believe I'm gonna
25:47
Speaker 1: take six points at Iowa State. I don't think Ames
25:50
Speaker 1: is some intimidating place to win football games. So give
25:54
Speaker 1: me the sun Devils plus six at Iowa State this week.
25:59
Speaker 1: That that's my factor fiction pick for this Tuesday. If
26:03
Speaker 1: you agree with it, text fact to four nine four
26:06
Speaker 1: five one. If you disagree with it, text fiction two
26:09
Speaker 1: four nine four five one. If you're right, we enter
26:11
Speaker 1: your name into a drawing for one thousand dollars in
26:14
Speaker 1: cash at the end of the week. Every time you're
26:17
Speaker 1: right with one of your picks, and we pick four
26:19
Speaker 1: games per day here at KJAR, we enter your name
26:23
Speaker 1: back into that drawing, so weigh it in your favor.
26:26
Speaker 1: When that thousand dollars provided by Lucky Eagle Casino and
26:31
Speaker 1: hotel where every day feels lucky And now they're going
26:34
Speaker 1: to be going twenty four every Friday and Saturday, twenty
26:38
Speaker 1: four hour gaming starts November seventh at Luckyeagle dot com,
26:42
Speaker 1: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day feels Lucky.
26:46
Speaker 1: And now it's twenty four seven, all right, ten thousand
26:50
Speaker 1: dollars jackpot at the end of the season for the
26:52
Speaker 1: Factor Fiction winner. But right now, let's just deal with today.
26:56
Speaker 1: Let's just take this one at a time. If you
26:58
Speaker 1: like my pick, go ahead, text fact to four nine
27:01
Speaker 1: four five one. If you disagree with the pick, text
27:04
Speaker 1: fiction to four nine four to five one. I'm taking
27:06
Speaker 1: the Arizona State sun Devils getting six points at Iowa State.
27:11
Speaker 2: And so that's what we're rolling with.
27:14
Speaker 1: Your next chance to play is at eleven thirty five
27:16
Speaker 1: this morning, MJ and Christopher Kid coming up next on
27:20
Speaker 1: the radio program. It was one of the greatest games
27:23
Speaker 1: in baseball history and the star might be the greatest
27:27
Speaker 1: player in baseball history. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
27:32
Speaker 1: Last night, Oh show, Hey, he put on a show
27:36
Speaker 1: last night. But it wasn't just him. I mean it
27:39
Speaker 1: really was. As much as we kind of want to
27:42
Speaker 1: close our eyes and ears to it because we were
27:45
Speaker 1: so close to being here ourselves.
27:48
Speaker 2: I kind of did that for the.
27:50
Speaker 1: Most part for the first two games gave into it.
27:52
Speaker 1: I'm a baseball fan first, probably more so than anything else,
27:57
Speaker 1: and was there front and center. I'm going to see
27:59
Speaker 1: a show Otani makes history, and he did. He got
28:03
Speaker 1: on base nine times last night. Nine times he got
28:08
Speaker 1: on base in one game. But beyond that, I mean,
28:11
Speaker 1: it was one of the greatest games I've ever watched.
28:15
Speaker 1: Eighteen innings. I mean, I was feeling that way, Bucky
28:19
Speaker 1: when Shoe It's the home run to tie it at
28:22
Speaker 1: five and the seventh and I'm like, my goodness, this
28:24
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest games I've ever seen played.
28:27
Speaker 1: And there were twelve more innings of just nothing but intensity.
28:32
Speaker 1: The rest of the way. There was a moment where
28:35
Speaker 1: the shore Fire Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw survived in
28:40
Speaker 1: the smallest role possible, and then the smallest player possible
28:46
Speaker 1: in terms of a roster decision, not size wise, but
28:49
Speaker 1: the last guy on the roster may have played the
28:52
Speaker 1: biggest role of the entire night. And Will Klein going
28:55
Speaker 1: above and beyond to go four scoreless innings in an
29:00
Speaker 1: extra time to try to save the Dodgers from having
29:04
Speaker 1: to pitch show Hey or somebody else. In the nineteenth
29:07
Speaker 1: inning or beyond and then they won it with a
29:10
Speaker 1: walk off in the eighteenth. Never seen any game like
29:13
Speaker 1: it in my entire life.
29:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen one like that either. I mean
29:16
Speaker 2: definitely not with the stakes. I mean in the World Series,
29:19
Speaker 2: the biggest stage of all and you basically have everything
29:22
Speaker 2: from like really really good sound baseball plays to then
29:29
Speaker 2: lasadaisical plays had kind of mental mistakes here and there,
29:32
Speaker 2: and yet that's part of that.
29:34
Speaker 1: Add to the soup too, yeah, and added to the
29:36
Speaker 1: flavor of the game.
29:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's all kinds of different stuff that you're just like,
29:40
Speaker 2: what the heck? And then okay, well, now can you
29:43
Speaker 2: pitch out of it? Or can are you going to
29:45
Speaker 2: capitalize on that mistake and put up a number? And
29:49
Speaker 2: I mean the amount of base runners there early and
29:52
Speaker 2: then the amount of not I mean, there was nothing
29:56
Speaker 2: going on. All of a sudden, you felt like everybody
29:58
Speaker 2: was kind of swinging for the downs, like, well, I
29:59
Speaker 2: got a homer, I guess, like, no, you could just
30:02
Speaker 2: get that like leadoff double and then bump the guy
30:04
Speaker 2: over and then get him in. But and so there
30:07
Speaker 2: was opportunities for that, and then the dude pops it
30:10
Speaker 2: up like that one in and of itself. There was
30:12
Speaker 2: that was the Toronto situation. They get the guy over
30:15
Speaker 2: there and they have I don't remember who it was
30:17
Speaker 2: up of the dish, but it was actually a very
30:19
Speaker 2: good swing, Like as far as I'm getting to the
30:21
Speaker 2: bottom half hitting the sack fly here and you're talking
30:23
Speaker 2: about a quarter of an inch from it being an
30:26
Speaker 2: easy sack fly that goes into the outfield versus a
30:29
Speaker 2: pop up the short and then you go four more
30:32
Speaker 2: innings after that with no call. Yeah. Yeah, it just was.
30:35
Speaker 2: It was like there's times where it's like you, oh,
30:38
Speaker 2: you let him off the hook. Well, I let him
30:39
Speaker 2: off the hook, but not with a poor approach. There
30:42
Speaker 2: was other times where there was bad approaches, there was
30:45
Speaker 2: bad execution. It just was one thing after another, and
30:48
Speaker 2: it was like answering you know, the show Haego's Yard,
30:51
Speaker 2: and then then all of a sudden, the complete opposite
30:55
Speaker 2: in Christian Kirk, I mean show he have Tani runs
30:57
Speaker 2: like a deer throws a million a Christian Kirk. Yeah, yeah,
31:02
Speaker 2: different guy. It also runs like a deer. Yeah well yeah,
31:06
Speaker 2: the Alejandro Kirk does not run like a deer. I
31:08
Speaker 2: mean the exact opposite. Here comes to yeah, the amount
31:12
Speaker 2: of athleticism, and yet he's the one that answers the
31:16
Speaker 2: show hey thing. Early in the game, it just was
31:18
Speaker 2: one thing after another.
31:19
Speaker 1: It was forty three year runners left on base over
31:24
Speaker 1: eighteen innings, ten pitchers used by the Dodgers in the game,
31:28
Speaker 1: which is a record. And then of course, at the
31:30
Speaker 1: forefront of it all, even though it was there, there was,
31:34
Speaker 1: there was everything in the contest Shoe a Otani just
31:40
Speaker 1: I mean Baki, I mean Barry Bonds is the greatest
31:43
Speaker 1: player I've ever seen, but that's steroid Berry. Clean Berry
31:49
Speaker 1: was still one of the ten best players I've ever seen,
31:52
Speaker 1: But Steroid Berry was something like I never thought we'd
31:56
Speaker 1: seen before. And show he's not that as a hitter
32:00
Speaker 1: the pitching element that he adds to it as well.
32:02
Speaker 1: The only person you can compare him to is Babe Ruth.
32:06
Speaker 1: And then people say, well, bab Ruth only did that
32:08
Speaker 1: for three years, true, and show he's been doing that
32:11
Speaker 1: where they were full time. He's a little bit beyond that.
32:16
Speaker 1: But then again, Babe Ruth went five years of potentially
32:19
Speaker 1: his prime apparently being wasted as a pitcher, even though
32:23
Speaker 1: he was an All Star caliber pitcher. So how much
32:28
Speaker 1: more offense would he have added to his resume. So
32:31
Speaker 1: I don't dismiss Babe Ruth. I don't dismiss Barry Bonds
32:34
Speaker 1: in this conversation, but I do think not being a
32:39
Speaker 1: prisoner in the moment, we are watching the greatest baseball
32:42
Speaker 1: player that's ever played, and it turns out that once
32:45
Speaker 1: you get him away from the Angels and Mike Trout
32:48
Speaker 1: and he actually gets to the playoffs, he's better here
32:51
Speaker 1: than at any other time.
32:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, well nine times, yes, Dair, that's ridiculous. I mean,
32:56
Speaker 2: I'll just say, Babe Ruth is cemented in the or
33:00
Speaker 2: of baseball history forever as somebody that did something way
33:05
Speaker 2: before his time, Like he was sitting more home runs
33:08
Speaker 2: than most of the other teams combined at that point
33:10
Speaker 2: in time. He's Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat. That's it.
33:14
Speaker 2: But I'm sorry, Babe, step aside, Joe Altani is better.
33:19
Speaker 1: He show.
33:20
Speaker 2: Babe wasn't throwing one hundred, Babe, wasn't. I mean, he
33:25
Speaker 2: was hitting fifty five homers. It was against it in
33:27
Speaker 2: a different era. And I'm not taking away from that
33:29
Speaker 2: because playing a simple things were not as good back then.
33:32
Speaker 2: I mean, think about the gear they had in the
33:35
Speaker 2: I mean just nothing. It's completely different. It's it's comparing
33:39
Speaker 2: apples to tomatoes. They're not the same thing. But there's
33:42
Speaker 2: just nothing that I mean. This guy runs hits for average,
33:47
Speaker 2: hits for power. I mean, he had some scuffles early
33:51
Speaker 2: in the in the postseason, and yet corrected it to
33:54
Speaker 2: where now all of a sudden, yesterday, it's like, we
33:57
Speaker 2: can't pitch this guy. Just put him on basically five bis.
34:01
Speaker 2: I mean, it's he almost stole a bag in a
34:05
Speaker 2: key situation. I think Babe was stealing a bait. Yeah
34:08
Speaker 2: he came. Yeah, But it's just there's there's just not
34:13
Speaker 2: I mean, when you watch it, there's almost a part
34:15
Speaker 2: of perfection that's going on when you watch the way
34:18
Speaker 2: in which he's not impervious to making outs, but he is.
34:21
Speaker 2: He just does things that are way different. There's not
34:24
Speaker 2: very often you're going to see somebody that's head and
34:25
Speaker 2: shoulders better than everybody else in the game in their era,
34:29
Speaker 2: and he is. Right now, he has had two games.
34:32
Speaker 1: The last two games he's played at Dodger Stadium are
34:34
Speaker 1: two of the greatest games ever played by an individual player.
34:38
Speaker 1: That's back to back home games that he's treated Dodger
34:41
Speaker 1: fans to the Jason Bateman too, Yeah, you're welcome, Bateman.
34:45
Speaker 2: I didn't even know what to do with it.
34:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't even hop aboard his baitmobile last night
34:50
Speaker 1: to get away from it. He stayed for all eighteen innings.
