1:44
Speaker 3: on the road against Montreal, a talented young team, and
1:47
Speaker 3: that was their home opener for the season, so a
1:50
Speaker 3: lot of things stacked against them. Sounded like everybody was
1:53
Speaker 3: all right with a point, so we will take it.
1:55

Speaker 3: George Kirby getting the start for the Mariners, Shane Bieber
2:20
Speaker 3: getting the start for the Toronto Blue Jays. First pitch
2:23
Speaker 3: is at five o'clock. With a win, the Mariners can
2:26
Speaker 3: go up three to zero in the series. That would
2:29
Speaker 3: be wonderful. Brian Wu says he's ready to go. He
2:32
Speaker 3: is one hundred percent ready to pitch. It's just a
2:34
Speaker 3: matter of Dan Wilson giving him the opportunity, given him
2:38
Speaker 3: the baseball, So we'll see if we'll see him at
2:41
Speaker 3: some point during this series. The National League Championship Series
2:44
Speaker 3: is also two to zero, with the Dodgers also winning
2:47
Speaker 3: both their games on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers.
2:50
Speaker 3: Last night it was Yamamoto. The night before Blake Snell
2:54
Speaker 3: dominating Milwaukee hitters. Yamamoto ended up going the distance in
2:58
Speaker 3: a five to one win over the Milwaukee Brewers. It's
3:01
Speaker 3: uh Thursday night football leave Pittsburgh at Cincinnati gets the

Speaker 3: new week of the National Football League started tomorrow. In

Speaker 3: college football, the Huskies will be at Michigan taking on
3:11
Speaker 3: the Wolverines and the Big House on Saturday. We'll talk
3:14
Speaker 3: to Cam Cleland about it at eight o'clock. And of
3:16
Speaker 3: course it is hump day here, so we start peeling
3:20
Speaker 3: our attention toward the Houston Texans, the next opponent for
3:24
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, and they won't play them until Monday night.
3:27
Speaker 2: And I know who'll be covering it, Greg Bell.
3:30
Speaker 3: Greg got all fancy on us with Delacado. Yeah, what
3:34
Speaker 3: do you like? You like a nice cab? Are you
3:36
Speaker 3: more of a white wine kind of guy. What do
3:39
Speaker 3: you like at the Delacado family wine?
3:41
Speaker 4: No red for sure. When I heard that yesterday, I thought,
3:44
Speaker 4: I will wait a minute.
3:46
Speaker 5: I think there needs to be some sampling in order
3:48
Speaker 5: here or something I would I would think you I
3:51
Speaker 5: would be sponsored by Well, well, I mean, why would
3:54
Speaker 5: it be sponsored by something I know nothing about?
3:57
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think we test it. Yeah, I think we
4:00
Speaker 2: should all go to Nappa together.
4:02
Speaker 6: Yeah we should.
4:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, the broadcasts from there?
4:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, even better? What's going on here?
4:12
Speaker 5: It just got to be someone at that station who
4:14
Speaker 5: can make that happen.
4:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know what department that is.
4:19
Speaker 2: We'll put some heat on him, don't you, Greg, But
4:22
Speaker 2: I know you have that.
4:23
Speaker 4: Yeah.
4:23
Speaker 3: In the meantime, we'll just we'll just think about how
4:26
Speaker 3: delicious tacato.
4:27
Speaker 4: So I got to hear about it every day. Yeah,
4:29
Speaker 4: the rest of two great?
4:32
Speaker 5: Okay, come on, exert yourself please. I appreciate that.
4:37
Speaker 4: All right.
4:38
Speaker 3: Well, what kind of fine wine performance do you think
4:41
Speaker 3: we're going to get out of George Kirby tonight?
4:43
Speaker 2: Before we talked some Seahawks football.
4:47
Speaker 5: Well, I mean he did, okay, he was a footnote
4:51
Speaker 5: in Game five because of how crazy it ended in
4:53
Speaker 5: fifteen innings and it was like you pitched three days
4:56
Speaker 5: earlier that night. But people forget that he won run
4:59
Speaker 5: in five of innings, and I think under normal circumstances
5:02
Speaker 5: he would have continued pitching. And he's I wrote this
5:06
Speaker 5: in a news tribute store say, he's the only guy
5:09
Speaker 5: on the whole staff who's been on regular turns and
5:13
Speaker 5: not coming out of bullpens, and so it's business as
5:16
Speaker 5: usual for him. He talked about that in Toronto before
5:19
Speaker 5: Game two, about how he's rested and it's a normal
5:22
Speaker 5: routine and he's doing bullpens and stretching and ninety throws
5:27
Speaker 5: and he's doing regular season scheduled work. Well, no one
5:31
Speaker 5: else's staff is. Everyone else is he's on short rest,
5:34
Speaker 5: they're coming out of the bullpen or now Castillo is
5:36
Speaker 5: going to be on long rest and they haven't had
5:38
Speaker 5: wo at all. But it's been normal schedule for George Kirby.
5:42
Speaker 5: You would think for something.
5:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, opportunity to kind of reset the whole thing,
5:48
Speaker 3: and you still went up two.
5:49
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's pretty amazing.
5:52
Speaker 4: So about your ace having pitched yet in the postseason, yeah.
5:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, not bad, not bad, kind of encouraging. Also, I
6:00
Speaker 3: I will mention this before we talked Seahawks football here.
6:04
Speaker 3: You went out of your way to write a nice
6:06
Speaker 3: story about Mitch Garver. And I think that I was.
6:10
Speaker 4: This show would notice that. Boy, well, I thought, I thought,
6:15
Speaker 4: when am I going to get the opportunity to write
6:16
Speaker 4: about Mitch Garvery? What do you say? Well?
6:23
Speaker 5: And well, my point of the story was it has
6:26
Speaker 5: nothing to do on with on the field. For those
6:28
Speaker 5: of don't know what we're talking about, or that we'll
6:30
Speaker 5: never read a story about Mitch Garver. He was two
6:34
Speaker 5: years ago on the Texas Rangers when they went up
6:36
Speaker 5: two oh in the ALCS after winning two road games
6:39
Speaker 5: at Houston, and then they went back to Texas and
6:42
Speaker 5: got three swept three straight games out of out of
6:46
Speaker 5: Arlington by the Astros. So he's been here exactly here,
6:51
Speaker 5: and he said he was going to talk.
6:52
Speaker 4: To the team about that.
6:53
Speaker 5: I'm going to talk to them about trying to win
6:56
Speaker 5: every inning and then be the goal to try to
6:58
Speaker 5: score every inning. He implied that just cruised into Game
7:01
Speaker 5: three thinking the series is over, and then they had
7:04
Speaker 5: to scramble at rally and they won Game six and
7:06
Speaker 5: seven at Houston that was a really odd series. Texas
7:09
Speaker 5: won all four games in Houston, and Houston won all
7:11
Speaker 5: three games in Arlington. Of course, the Rangers and Carver
7:14
Speaker 5: went on to win the World Series in twenty twenty three,
7:16
Speaker 5: but he said, yep, I'm definitely talking to the guys
7:19
Speaker 5: about that experience and how to keep the pedal down
7:22
Speaker 5: and to try to win every inning. He said, score
7:24
Speaker 5: in every inning was the mentality he's going to try
7:27
Speaker 5: to preach to them.
7:28
Speaker 3: Mhmm, Well, yeah, I think that's a pretty good mentality
7:31
Speaker 3: to have. I don't think they're gonna have to worry
7:33
Speaker 3: about it. I don't think they're gonna overlook. I don't
7:34
Speaker 3: think they're gonna take anything lightly. I don't think they
7:37
Speaker 3: got their feet up on the desk. I think they
7:39
Speaker 3: are in a really good place for this game tonight.
7:43
Speaker 3: So we shall see, all right. Greg Bell is our
7:45
Speaker 3: Seahawks insider, but he has been covering the Mariners in
7:49
Speaker 3: the playoffs as well for Thenewstribune dot Com, So it
7:51
Speaker 3: gives us a chance to double dip a little bit
7:54
Speaker 3: here with Greg. But let's talk Seahawks. It's hump Day,
7:56
Speaker 3: and I know it's a Monday night football game. But
7:58
Speaker 3: this is the day where we start looking looking forward
8:00
Speaker 3: to the next opponent. Been a weird year for the
8:02
Speaker 3: Houston Texans, been a weird couple of years. Two years
8:06
Speaker 3: ago they were expected, they kind of came out of
8:09
Speaker 3: nowhere and people put the tag of NFL darling on them.
8:14
Speaker 3: And they didn't have a bad year last year, but
8:16
Speaker 3: people looked at it as a disappointment. Well, this year
8:19
Speaker 3: has certainly been a disappointment. They're off to a really
8:22
Speaker 3: rough start this season, especially offensively. What should we know
8:26
Speaker 3: about the Texans here on the Wednesday before playing them
8:29
Speaker 3: on Monday Night football.
8:31
Speaker 5: Well, here's what Mike McDonald's telling his Seahawks. They were
8:35
Speaker 5: zeroing three and everybody's writing them off as the season five.
8:39
Speaker 5: They got beat by the Rams, the Buccaneers by a point,
8:43
Speaker 5: and the Jaguars by seven. They lost to the Rams
8:45
Speaker 5: on the road by five points. They held the Rams
8:48
Speaker 5: to fourteen points fourteen to nine. They lost the Tampa
8:51
Speaker 5: Bay twenty to nineteen, and they lost to Jacksonville seventeen
8:55
Speaker 5: to ten. Since then, they've helped get an NFL coach fired.
8:59
Speaker 5: They one maybe twenty six nothing win over Tennessee as
9:02
Speaker 5: an zero to three team. That was probably when the
9:05
Speaker 5: Titans starts saying, okay, we're done with Brian Callahan, whom
9:07
Speaker 5: they fired a couple of weeks later. And then they
9:10
Speaker 5: went to Baltimore and won forty four to ten.
9:13
Speaker 4: And I know.
9:13
Speaker 5: Baltimore has all kinds of issues right now, but that
9:17
Speaker 5: got their attention. In a former Ravens defensive coordinator, I'm
9:21
Speaker 5: guessing that Mike McDonald turned the Texans Ravens game tape
9:25
Speaker 5: on and just let it play, and that probably got
9:28
Speaker 5: the Seahawks attention. Forty four to ten on the road
9:32
Speaker 5: to Baltimore, no matter what state the Ravens are in,
9:35
Speaker 5: is probably got Mike McDonald's front and center marquee attention
9:38
Speaker 5: for this week. So they're two and three, they're coming
9:41
Speaker 5: off of buy and when I look at the numbers,
9:45
Speaker 5: I'm trying to wonder why people want to roll c. J.
9:47
Speaker 5: Stroud right out of the league. He's got eight touchdowns
9:50
Speaker 5: against three interception. I haven't watched the Titans game of
9:54
Speaker 5: Texans game all season. I've been busy doing a few
9:57
Speaker 5: other things. But he's a seventy one percent with eight
10:00
Speaker 5: touchdowns and three interceptions, so he's.
10:03
Speaker 4: Doing something right.
10:05
Speaker 5: Every time I read or hear a story about CJ.
10:08
Speaker 5: Strawitz that he shouldn't be a quarterback wise in the league,
10:10
Speaker 5: Houston should cut him, bench him. The point is, the
10:15
Speaker 5: narrative is that Houston sunk, but they're not and in
10:20
Speaker 5: the NFL at two and three coming off a bye,
10:23
Speaker 5: you're right, you're right there now. Of course, the Colts
10:26
Speaker 5: are often rolling it in that division, and they'll have
10:31
Speaker 5: work to do obviously, but I don't think that they're
10:33
Speaker 5: in this abyss that the narrative that the perception is.
10:37
Speaker 7: No, I don't think there are either. It's definitely a
10:39
Speaker 7: team you can sleep on. I agree. What would you
10:42
Speaker 7: say though, even having not watched any texts and stuff,
10:46
Speaker 7: just kind of looking into it and investigating it, thinking
10:48
Speaker 7: about what you got to prepare for. What is it
10:51
Speaker 7: that they should worry about the most? I mean, they
10:53
Speaker 7: got to have a game plan aster. We're not going
10:55
Speaker 7: to let this happen. We're not going to let that happen.
10:57
Speaker 7: What are those things?
10:59
Speaker 4: Well, it's still Chubb.
11:00
Speaker 5: He doesn't seem to have quite the season going yet,
11:03
Speaker 5: and they're not running the ball much.
11:04
Speaker 4: Houston's not.
11:05
Speaker 5: I think Chubb is two hundred and forty yards two
11:08
Speaker 5: hundred and forty nine total yards on the season rushing
11:11
Speaker 5: with only two touchdowns through five games. And Stroud does
11:15
Speaker 5: have the ability, like off many quarterbacks now in the NFL,
11:19
Speaker 5: to extend players and to get outside the pocket, which
11:23
Speaker 5: has been an issue at times for the Seahawks. I
11:25
Speaker 5: would say those are the two issues there now. When
11:27
Speaker 5: I was in Jacksonville, I was talking to some guys
11:29
Speaker 5: with the Jaguars, and it was interesting to hear him
11:32
Speaker 5: talk about how well they might talk about the game
11:36
Speaker 5: on Sunday in Jacksonville. They might window dress and try
11:39
Speaker 5: to run a little bit, but I don't think they're
11:41
Speaker 5: going to really test Seattle's run. They really respect Seattle's
11:45
Speaker 5: run defense. And all of a sudden sometimes because the
11:49
Speaker 5: Seahawks have been playing from the front the lead, except
11:52
Speaker 5: the church against Tampa Bay and the shootout, suddenly the
11:55
Speaker 5: Seahawks are second in the NFL and rush defense. So
11:58
Speaker 5: now there's this per set the teams shouldn't try to
12:01
Speaker 5: run on the Seahawks, and the Jaguars really didn't try
12:06
Speaker 5: too hard at the end. Was they had one hundred
12:10
Speaker 5: and twenty five plus yards average, a top five rushing
12:14
Speaker 5: team coming into that game and they only had a
12:16
Speaker 5: fifty nine yards and McDonald after the game talked about
12:20
Speaker 5: how the run defense created the third and longs and
12:23
Speaker 5: I mentioned yesterday how many third and nine pluses they had,
12:27
Speaker 5: and that's how the defense got seven sacks, a season high.
12:31
Speaker 5: So if I was Houston, I would test that run
12:35
Speaker 5: defense and I would do it more than Jacksonville did,
12:38
Speaker 5: and I don't have a quarterback. It is as hot
12:41
Speaker 5: and as accurate as Baker Mayfield is. I would run
12:45
Speaker 5: a lot more of Chubb than what they've done so
12:49
Speaker 5: far this season. We'll see what they do.
12:51
Speaker 2: Greg bellis whether it's our Seahawks insider.
12:53
Speaker 3: You can follow him at GML Seattle on Twitter, also
12:57
Speaker 3: Thenewstribune dot com, where right now he's following both with
13:00
Speaker 3: the Mariners and the Seahawks double duty, and he joins
13:03
Speaker 3: us nearly every day at seven oh five thanks to
13:06
Speaker 3: Della Coatta Wines family Wines. All right, let's I want
13:10
Speaker 3: to talk about JSN. We didn't get a chance yesterday.
13:13
Speaker 3: That was another big talking point on Monday morning with
13:16
Speaker 3: coach in with Hugh and look, I mean, he's just
13:19
Speaker 3: having a phenomenal year and yet there's still this criticism
13:22
Speaker 3: of like, man, you just can't keep targeting him that
13:25
Speaker 3: much during the course of a game, and yet maybe
13:29
Speaker 3: you can.
13:30
Speaker 2: I don't know, because they don't. He can't. They're not
13:34
Speaker 2: stopping him on the other side of the ball.
13:36
Speaker 3: So if they can't, if they can't cover him, then
13:38
Speaker 3: why don't you go to your best wide receiver as
13:41
Speaker 3: often as you possibly can.
13:43
Speaker 5: I'm starting to believe that this sports market wants to
13:46
Speaker 5: complain about anything. They have the number one receiver in
13:49
Speaker 5: the NFL. Give him the ball if he's that good.
13:54
Speaker 5: That's a first world problem to say you're throwing ball
13:57
Speaker 5: too much to the top receiver in the league. The
14:00
Speaker 5: reason he's a top receiver in the leaguees because they're
14:02
Speaker 5: thrown to the ball, and Donald actually has obviously a
14:06
Speaker 5: very sudden trust. It's not like they go back years
14:09
Speaker 5: and years and in a couple of months here he
14:13
Speaker 5: is counting on Smith and Jigg with ticket open he
14:15
Speaker 5: could have had a much bigger day. Dropped the past
14:18
Speaker 5: in open field at one point, and there was another ball.
14:21
Speaker 4: That was tipped and deflected.
14:23
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure it was him on the slant that
14:24
Speaker 5: the ball get deflected into the defensive Lineman's stomach who
14:27
Speaker 5: dropped it.
14:28
Speaker 4: But the point is Donald's thrown a lot more to
14:31
Speaker 4: him than even his numbers. Though.
14:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have that criticism to see Hawks. I
14:37
Speaker 5: think they keep doing what works and if no one's
14:40
Speaker 5: able to cover Smith and Jig. But even though every
14:42
Speaker 5: defensive game plan has him in the center of it,
14:45
Speaker 5: yet he's still leading the NFL keep doing it. He's
14:48
Speaker 5: now in the NFL's yardage receiver leader past kuk Kuh
14:53
Speaker 5: who's injured right now in ankle injury for the Rams.
14:56
Speaker 5: I don't see any I don't know what that criticism
14:59
Speaker 5: should be. It's supposed to be this like socialist job
15:03
Speaker 5: share of receiving yards. Everyone's supposed to have the same
15:05
Speaker 5: or else the offense isn't working, right. I don't see
15:09
Speaker 5: any complaints at all, and I can't believe all the
15:12
Speaker 5: things there could be the complain about the Seahawks, but
15:14
Speaker 5: that would be one of them.
15:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it does catch up to you eventually, and yeah,
15:17
Speaker 3: I think there's some some merit to it. But if
15:21
Speaker 3: he if he's open, then throw it to those Yeah,
15:24
Speaker 3: I mean exactly.
15:25
Speaker 5: It's not like in the moment Donald goes, oh wait,
15:27
Speaker 5: I've thrown it six times to him already. I can't
15:29
Speaker 5: throw to him at seven. Yeah, even even though my
15:32
Speaker 5: Reid says it and the defense can't cover him and
15:34
Speaker 5: he's opened sixty yards down the field. Let me throw
15:36
Speaker 5: this majestic sixty one yard touchdown pass. It's the best
15:39
Speaker 5: pass I've thrown for the Seahawks. Oh darn, I just
15:42
Speaker 5: threwed him for the eighth time. I'm doing something wrong.
15:45
Speaker 5: And meanwhile it's twenty to six. Whatever. I just don't
15:51
Speaker 5: see it.
15:52
Speaker 3: All right, man, Well, thank you, we appreciate you, and
15:55
Speaker 3: we'll talk to you again, probably on Friday.
15:57
Speaker 2: It sounds like Friday.
15:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, okay, just skip ahead.
16:02
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a day by day. It's a
16:05
Speaker 2: fluid situation here, Greg.
16:07
Speaker 5: But yeah, did they take the table away?
16:10
Speaker 4: Is it not round anymore.
16:14
Speaker 8: Today?
16:14
Speaker 4: Yes?
16:15
Speaker 3: We'll see you out there, all right, all right, Greg
16:18
Speaker 3: bell our Seahawks inside are joining us right here on
16:21
Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck in the morning. And of course, the
16:23
Speaker 3: segment brought to you by Delacato Family Wines. They offer

16:46
Speaker 3: diversity of these appellations. So Delacato family wines soon passing
16:53
Speaker 3: through Greg.
16:54
Speaker 2: Bell's lips, and they just does it, just does I
16:59
Speaker 2: can already smell right now. Cut have some cheese, all right?
17:02
Speaker 3: Coming up next, we'll play some factor fiction. Also talk
17:04
Speaker 3: about tonight's Game three starter. Is George ready again for
17:09
Speaker 3: his close up Sports Radio ninety three point three kha
17:12
Speaker 3: RFM Oltmills A great idea for you here on game day.
17:15
Speaker 3: It's Chuck Poalitz, Buggy Jacobson, and Ashley Ryan with you,
17:19
Speaker 3: and yes, Game three of the American League Championship Series
17:21
Speaker 3: played tonight, the first game of the series to be
17:24
Speaker 3: played here in Seattle, and a chance to go up
17:27
Speaker 3: three to zero and George Kirby getting the start tonight
17:31
Speaker 3: for the Mariners. At this point, I would hope that
17:35
Speaker 3: Mariner fans have a full gut of confidence when they
17:37
Speaker 3: think about George Kirby.
17:40
Speaker 7: I would imagine they do if they don't. I don't
17:42
Speaker 7: know what they're necessarily watching. The dude's been pretty unbelievable
17:46
Speaker 7: in the playoffs just over his career. I mean, I
17:48
Speaker 7: know a good one back in was twenty twenty two
17:52
Speaker 7: and even came in in relief, right, got to save
17:54
Speaker 7: that one time, and then two games here.
17:57
Speaker 2: It's he scattered hits.
17:59
Speaker 7: It hasn't been the most dominant necessarily, but it's been
18:03
Speaker 7: when he gives up a hit, then he bears down
18:05
Speaker 7: and punches the next dude out or finds a way
18:07
Speaker 7: to get out of it. It's it's been impressive, to
18:09
Speaker 7: say the least. I mean, I don't think that there's
18:11
Speaker 7: many people in that organization that have any doubt about
18:13
Speaker 7: that guy for sure.
18:14
Speaker 3: Well, we've been waiting a long time to play the
18:17
Speaker 3: set the rotation for the playoff game, and so we've
18:20
Speaker 3: done a lot of that here for the last couple
18:22
Speaker 3: few weeks. Ye certainly we had that down week and
18:25
Speaker 3: that became a huge topic, how do you set the
18:28
Speaker 3: rotation for the American League Divisional Series? And everybody had
18:31
Speaker 3: every Mariner fan had their own individual opinion on how
18:34
Speaker 3: to do that. And because we have so many good pitchers,
18:36
Speaker 3: I don't know if there was a bad idea out there,
18:39
Speaker 3: but I think what's very clear is whether or not
18:42
Speaker 3: you think Logan's are number one, or Castillo because of experience,
18:48
Speaker 3: or Brian Wu because he had a great year without
18:51
Speaker 3: Brian Wu even as an option. It's pretty clear this
18:55
Speaker 3: organization has every bit of trust in George Kirby. I
18:58
Speaker 3: think they circle him as the guy they have the
19:00
Speaker 3: most confidence in of delivering, you know, six shutout innings,
19:05
Speaker 3: at least five shutout innings. And it's just how they've
19:09
Speaker 3: molded this rotation. I mean, they pitched him in Game
19:12
Speaker 3: one of the playoffs and then made sure that he
19:15
Speaker 3: was available in game number five if you have to
19:17
Speaker 3: face Trek Scooble, which you eventually had to do. And
19:21
Speaker 3: then even with everybody tired, what did they do? They
19:23
Speaker 3: put him in Game three, first game at home. And
19:27
Speaker 3: so as long as you don't jump to a seven
19:30
Speaker 3: or see me a five man rotation at some point
19:32
Speaker 3: in this series, he's scheduled to then start Game seven
19:36
Speaker 3: if it comes down to it. So you might not,
19:39
Speaker 3: as a fan, think George. You might not think George
19:41
Speaker 3: Kirby is our top dog starting pitcher, but I think
19:45
Speaker 3: it's pretty clear that the Mariners do without Brian Wu.
19:48
Speaker 2: We don't know how Brian Wu enters the equation.
19:51
Speaker 3: But Jerry, justin Dan all have the utmost faith in
19:55
Speaker 3: sixty eight.
19:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, well they do. They do definitely have faith in him,
19:59
Speaker 7: and I don't think there's a any reason why they wouldn't.
20:01
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't even know for sure. If I'm
20:04
Speaker 7: sitting in Dan's position, obviously you're sitting there thinking about
20:07
Speaker 7: it and you're mulling it over. But it's kind of
20:09
Speaker 7: a blessing of riches to some extent where it doesn't
20:13
Speaker 7: feel like there's any of them are going to be
20:14
Speaker 7: wrong choices, right. I mean, to me, it feels like
20:17
Speaker 7: you can, okay, who's better at this? Who's better that?
20:20
Speaker 7: They're all great at They're good at throwing in the zone.
20:24
Speaker 7: None of them walk a ton of guys. I mean,
20:26
Speaker 7: maybe a couple guys have a little bit better strikeout stuff.
20:29
Speaker 4: I think.
20:30
Speaker 7: I think George is probably the guy that everybody even
20:32
Speaker 7: on that staff would say when he's on he has
20:34
Speaker 7: the best pinpoint control and location ability. I just think, yeah,
20:39
Speaker 7: when you think about the ability to punch guys out
20:41
Speaker 7: when you need a punch out or you know, go
20:44
Speaker 7: ahead and pound the zone and just make sure that
20:46
Speaker 7: you're making them earn everything. I think that he might
20:49
Speaker 7: be the best of the best, like you said, without
20:51
Speaker 7: Brian Wu kind of being in the mix as far
20:53
Speaker 7: as how the debate goes. But really it just seems
20:57
Speaker 7: like you kind of have like you can flip a
20:58
Speaker 7: coin and you kind of feel like, which ever one
21:00
Speaker 7: of the five that lands on, you're feeling pretty good
21:02
Speaker 7: about it.
21:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think to him being at home and
21:05
Speaker 6: having that better track record at home versus on the road,
21:08
Speaker 6: it's really worked out well for them to have their
21:10
Speaker 6: faith in him and have it at home where they
21:13
Speaker 6: feel even better about him. I don't know that it
21:15
Speaker 6: would have changed if they'd been on the road. Well
21:17
Speaker 6: in those games, I would tend.
21:19
Speaker 3: To seems it seems like they're trying to get him
21:21
Speaker 3: to pitch at home. Yeah, that seems like what pointed
21:25
Speaker 3: out before. They all have better splits at home. They
21:27
Speaker 3: do considerably better. But even the I mean it's Castillo's turn, yeah,
21:32
Speaker 3: technically to pitch.
21:33
Speaker 2: I mean he came in in relief and he threw
21:37
Speaker 2: a lot.
21:37
Speaker 3: Fewer pitches than what George did on Friday. Well, but
21:41
Speaker 3: with the but the idea of if it goes seven,
21:44
Speaker 3: who do we want on the mound? They're taking Kirby
21:47
Speaker 3: over Castile and Castillo's hot right now, and Castillo is experienced,
21:52
Speaker 3: and still it's no George Kirby is ahead of Luis
21:56
Speaker 3: Castillo in the pecking order around here. That's how they
22:00
Speaker 3: feel about sixty eight right now. And I know they
22:02
Speaker 3: love them all, but they seem to love George the
22:05
Speaker 3: mostest child. Let's play some factor fiction.
22:09
Speaker 2: Where's that to go? Glad you're with us?
22:11
Speaker 8: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
22:14
Speaker 8: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor fiction, probably presented
22:20
Speaker 8: by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day feels Lucky.
22:24
Speaker 8: Fact Door fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
22:28
Speaker 8: three kJ R FM.
22:30
Speaker 3: All right, Bucky picked today in our round of factor fiction?
22:34
Speaker 2: Where are we going to go today?
22:36
Speaker 7: I got up early last week and watched the Denver
22:40
Speaker 7: Broncos squeak out of victory against the Jets, and it
22:43
Speaker 7: was a horrendous game.
22:45
Speaker 2: Luckily my team came.
22:46
Speaker 7: Out on top, but what I got out of it
22:48
Speaker 7: was Jets are not very good All the way around,
22:51
Speaker 7: and I think the Panthers are surgery and they I.
22:53
Speaker 2: Think you need to give a little more time. There's
22:54
Speaker 2: not enough evidence.
22:55
Speaker 7: Now to be good. And yet it feels like the
23:02
Speaker 7: Carolina Panthers are playing well.
23:04
Speaker 2: They're kind of on the up and up.
23:06
Speaker 7: It seems they have to go on the road and
23:08
Speaker 7: they're given a point and a half. But I feel
23:10
Speaker 7: pretty confident a point and a half at the feet
23:13
Speaker 7: of the Jets. They're negative ten passing yards. They might
23:16
Speaker 7: eclipse that this week, but I don't think they'll eclipse
23:18
Speaker 7: it by a ton. So go ahead and give me
23:20
Speaker 7: Carolina minus one and a half at the New York Jets.
23:23
Speaker 2: Are you gonna ride this Jets thing this season?
23:27
Speaker 4: They are? Yeah?
23:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like picking against them. Maybe maybe it's still there.
23:32
Speaker 6: To succeed and help me out.
23:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So it's going to be Carolina and
23:38
Speaker 3: they're on the road and they're giving a point and
23:40
Speaker 3: a half.
23:40
Speaker 2: Yep, did I hear all of that correctly? All right?
23:43
Speaker 3: So that means that Carolina on the road must win
23:46
Speaker 3: by two points or more over the Jets for Bucky
23:49
Speaker 3: to be right. With that now being established, what do
23:53
Speaker 3: you think text fact to four nine four five one.
23:56
Speaker 3: If you agree with the pick, text fiction to four
23:59
Speaker 3: nine four one if you think it's the Jets week
24:01
Speaker 3: to breakout. So fact or fiction. That's why we call
24:05
Speaker 3: the thing factor fiction. You text fact, if you agree fiction,
24:08
Speaker 3: if you disagree. If you're right, and that's all that
24:10
Speaker 3: really matters. We take your name, we enter it into
24:13
Speaker 3: a drawing at the end of the week for one
24:14
Speaker 3: thousand dollars in cash. Every single time you play and
24:18
Speaker 3: you're right, we're going to enter your name into that
24:21
Speaker 3: drawing again, so you can get up to twenty entries
24:24
Speaker 3: into that drawing, weigh it in your advantage and possibly
24:27
Speaker 3: win yourself one thousand dollars playing fact or Fiction, And
24:31
Speaker 3: if you play enough, you can win the ten thousand
24:35
Speaker 3: dollars jackpot that we have in store for the winner

25:32

Speaker 2: knock politely. Yeah, there'll be some feeling and some hearing sensing.
26:38
Speaker 2: You know, there be a lot of that all right.
26:42
Speaker 3: Time to get reckless at breakfast, and of course I'm
26:44
Speaker 3: going to do a little baseball here today. You know,
26:47
Speaker 3: this time of the year. The Milwaukee Brewers are a
26:50
Speaker 3: really great study. I mean, they're fun team to watch
26:54
Speaker 3: every single year. They've got a great organization. I don't
26:57
Speaker 3: know how they keep doing it. Every year they're pick
26:59
Speaker 3: to finish third in their vision and it feels like
27:01
Speaker 3: every year they win it, and yet they have a
27:05
Speaker 3: really hard time in the playoffs. And it's difficult. I mean,
27:09
Speaker 3: when you think about it, when you get to the postseason.
27:12
Speaker 3: You're throwing your best pitchers, and when your best pitchers
27:16
Speaker 3: get slightly tired, you're bringing in bullpen guys, and not
27:20
Speaker 3: just any bullpen guys, your best bullpen guys. And so
27:23
Speaker 3: when you think about that format, it's really hard for
27:26
Speaker 3: the Brewers to piece together the multiple hits they require
27:31
Speaker 3: per inning in order to scratch together crooked numbers in
27:36
Speaker 3: any given inning. It's why they struggle so severely. Theyre
27:39
Speaker 3: just don't hit a lot of home runs, and this
27:41
Speaker 3: time of the year, you better be able to hit
27:43
Speaker 3: the home run. And then when you go up against
27:45
Speaker 3: the buzzsaws that they've gone against and Snell and y'a Mamoto,
27:49
Speaker 3: you're not even getting guys to first base, can't steal
27:51
Speaker 3: first base, and then they're not even stealing second base
27:54
Speaker 3: because the outs are so precious and they're trailing that
27:57
Speaker 3: they can't. They got to abandon the way that they
28:00
Speaker 3: played during the regular season. So small ball is very
28:03
Speaker 3: difficult to win the World Series with, even though I
28:07
Speaker 3: think that you can win in the regular season playing
28:10
Speaker 3: that way, and the Brewers kind of proved that every year.
28:13
Speaker 3: That said tonight, I think small ball might end up.
28:16
Speaker 2: Winning this game tonight.
28:18
Speaker 3: I think Shane Bieber, who got lit up by the
28:20
Speaker 3: Yankees in his last start, is actually going to be
28:23
Speaker 3: a difficult matchup tonight.
28:25
Speaker 2: And I think George is going to be really good.
28:26
Speaker 3: Too, So I think maybe the Mariners are going to
28:31
Speaker 3: have to scratch out a couple of runs here this
28:33
Speaker 3: evening to win this game. I don't know if they're
28:36
Speaker 3: going to win with the long ball necessarily tonight, but
28:39
Speaker 3: that's a great way that this Mariners team is structured,
28:42
Speaker 3: Bucky is because they can hit the home run, they
28:45
Speaker 3: can steal bases.
28:46
Speaker 2: They've gotten better. They're still not great.
28:48
Speaker 3: I think they still have the worst batting average with
28:51
Speaker 3: runners at third and less than two outs in all
28:55
Speaker 3: of baseball, but since we started doing Saqwatch, they've been
28:59
Speaker 3: a lot better at executing in that particular moment.
29:03
Speaker 2: We take all the credit for that, but as we should.
29:06
Speaker 3: I think they've gotten much better as the season's gone
29:09
Speaker 3: along at moving runners and manufacturing a run. It didn't
29:15
Speaker 3: show up that Friday night against the Tigers. We did
29:18
Speaker 3: a pretty bad job there. But we better get back
29:21
Speaker 3: to being able to play that way because it's gonna
29:24
Speaker 3: have to come in handy at some point during this
29:26
Speaker 3: playoff run.
29:27
Speaker 2: If we're gonna win the World.
29:28
Speaker 3: Series, you got to be able to slug and you
29:30
Speaker 3: also got to be able to steal a run when
29:32
Speaker 3: you can. I think that's gonna be the key tonight. Yeah,
29:34
Speaker 3: the idea.
29:36
Speaker 7: Of when I say all the time approach of how
29:39
Speaker 7: you go about your business, and it does correlate with
29:42
Speaker 7: small ball, moving guys.
29:43
Speaker 4: Over and getting guys in.
29:45
Speaker 7: It's that my irritation with the strikeouts in those key situations.
29:50
Speaker 7: It's because over the course of one sixty two, if
29:53
Speaker 7: you do little things like that correctly, which I ended
29:56
Speaker 7: up reading Greg Bell's article in the News Tribune that
30:00
Speaker 7: he was talking about with Mitch Garver and that Mitch Garver,
30:03
Speaker 7: that's what he's preaching to while he's not a guy
30:05
Speaker 7: that's going to get a ton of playing time, and
30:07
Speaker 7: rightfully so, he's still telling these guys, you got to
30:10
Speaker 7: do a lot of the little things right that's what's
30:12
Speaker 7: going to get us over the top. He remembers, you know,
30:15
Speaker 7: being in this situation and it ended up with hoisting
30:18
Speaker 7: a trophy at the end of it. So to me,
30:20
Speaker 7: it is it does boil down to it, and that
30:22
Speaker 7: is a nice thing. We have the ability to go
30:24
Speaker 7: long ball, and we're gonna win some games with that,
30:27
Speaker 7: and you're gonna have some times where you're not going
30:29
Speaker 7: to get that. I think Shane Bieber is while maybe
30:32
Speaker 7: he's not the cy young dude that he was, he
30:34
Speaker 7: still is highly capable of shutting you down if you
30:38
Speaker 7: don't have a decent approach. Again, he's not going to
30:40
Speaker 7: strike everybody out. He's not as overpowering as some of
30:43
Speaker 7: the guys you see across baseball nowadays, and most certainly
30:46
Speaker 7: not as overpowering as some of the guys that are
30:48
Speaker 7: left in the postseason. But he's a guy that is
30:51
Speaker 7: going to pitch to try to miss your barrel, and
30:53
Speaker 7: so you can't be swinging for the fences or you're
30:56
Speaker 7: going to miss the barrel.
30:58
Speaker 2: You have to be thinking. And that's the nice thing.
31:00
Speaker 7: I think a guy like JP Crawford, when he's in
31:02
Speaker 7: his zone, he's not trying to go yard. He's okay
31:06
Speaker 7: with that soft liner to left center field. And then
31:09
Speaker 7: when they make a mistake or you do that a
31:11
Speaker 7: couple of times and then you know they're going to
31:12
Speaker 7: try to beat you in, then open the floodgates and
31:15
Speaker 7: try to turn on one early in an ab. I mean,
31:18
Speaker 7: this is a situation where I think we watch Geno
31:21
Speaker 7: right now kind of scuffle a little bit. He's had
31:23
Speaker 7: a couple of knocks here and there, but for the
31:24
Speaker 7: most part, he's not doing the Geno stuff. It's because
31:27
Speaker 7: you're not getting the thing that happens day after day
31:30
Speaker 7: after day after day during the regular season is they're
31:33
Speaker 7: just pounding the zone, trying to get through innings, trying
31:35
Speaker 7: to win a ball game. But the third inning of
31:37
Speaker 7: a game in April or June is not the same
31:40
Speaker 7: as the third inning here. The pitcher's not trying to
31:42
Speaker 7: be quite as precise. He can't be. You have to
31:45
Speaker 7: eat innings, and sometimes you can't. You can't try to
31:47
Speaker 7: make every single pitch out of the two thousand you're
31:49
Speaker 7: gonna throw over a season perfect. You have to go
31:51
Speaker 7: out there and sometimes just hope they hit it at somebody.
31:53
Speaker 7: And so I think this is a prime opportunity, like
31:56
Speaker 7: you said, where you've got to be able to find
31:58
Speaker 7: different ways to win, just scratch out or two to
32:01
Speaker 7: one victory, you know, by moving a guy over and
32:03
Speaker 7: getting some sack. Watch on other times, it's you're gonna
32:06
Speaker 7: have to bop some balls out of the yard with
32:08
Speaker 7: some three run homers.
32:09
Speaker 4: Yeah.
32:09
Speaker 6: I feel like that's how they won Game five of
32:11
Speaker 6: the Alds, Right, there was a lot of that, just
32:14
Speaker 6: get on and move around, move them around.
32:16
Speaker 3: Well, actually they almost lost it because they got so
32:19
Speaker 3: many runners on base and they couldn't come through in
32:21
Speaker 3: that moment. They've been much better at that in the
32:23
Speaker 3: second half of the season, and yet on Friday night
32:26
Speaker 3: it just wasn't there and you had to have Polanco
32:29
Speaker 3: come through.
32:29
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Polanco again. I think it's
32:31
Speaker 2: gonna be.
32:32
Speaker 6: Well, it has to be hit him every night we
32:33
Speaker 6: required six more game winning.
32:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's gonna be rob The difference of
32:37
Speaker 3: the game is Roblaze getting on, not doing something stupid,
32:41
Speaker 3: getting the third with fewer than two outs, and jare
32:43
Speaker 3: Polonco coming through either with a hit or sack watch.
32:46
Speaker 3: I think that's the three to two, three to two final.
32:49
Speaker 2: I do love sack watch in the playoffs. There you go,
32:51
Speaker 2: all right?
