6-18 H1: Sorsby Pro Day, Julio Injury & World Cup Tickets · The Gregg Bell Show

0:00
Speaker 1: I'll talk about the play that it appeared Julio Rodriguez
0:03
Speaker 1: got hurt. I could talk about the Pieso Press sandwich
0:06
Speaker 1: I had in the fourth inning that was pretty good
0:09
Speaker 1: behind third base and people again looking at me, going
0:11
Speaker 1: where did you get that? What concession stand has that
0:15
Speaker 1: you can bring it in? If you apparently you can't
0:18
Speaker 1: bring it in in its own bag has to be unbagged. Ah,
0:22
Speaker 1: if you're a fan going it so, I don't want
0:24
Speaker 1: the Mariners to be, hey, why are you sending people
0:26
Speaker 1: down here with full picnic baskets? And you can't do that.
0:29
Speaker 1: They have to be individually wrapped and I guess carried in.
0:34
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure what the ruling end of that. I
0:38
Speaker 1: don't know how much we'll talk about this, but we'll
0:40
Speaker 1: talk about this supplemental draft that everyone's presuming is going
0:43
Speaker 1: to happen for Brendan Soresby. I still don't think that's
0:46
Speaker 1: a done deal. The NFL has to approve it. We'll
0:49
Speaker 1: talk to you about when they have to approve it.
0:50
Speaker 1: By he's having a pro day a high school field
0:55
Speaker 1: in Texas. There are a lot of suppositions going on
0:59
Speaker 1: with Brendan Soor being the NFL, and I'm not quite
1:01
Speaker 1: sold that all of it's going to go down as
1:04
Speaker 1: he and his agent are trying to purport in national
1:07
Speaker 1: stories coming out eleven o'clock. I have a keyword for
1:10
Speaker 1: it to enter chances. I'd win twenty five hundred dollars
1:12
Speaker 1: in our national two hundred and fifty k USA giveaway.
1:15
Speaker 1: We do it every weekday at eleven am, and at
1:17
Speaker 1: two pm, and at five pm, and Chuck does it
1:19
Speaker 1: at eight am on our website nine through three KGr
1:23
Speaker 1: dot com. We're celebrating the US Open beginning today by
1:26
Speaker 1: having local golf stars in our studio today at eleven o'clock.
1:29
Speaker 1: Roosevelt High School senior Quinn Burwell and Roosevelt junior Carson
1:34
Speaker 1: Church are going to be here with their coach, Max Rose,
1:37
Speaker 1: Roosevelt High School golf coach. Both Quinn and Carson have
1:41
Speaker 1: qualified for the seventy eighth US Junior Amateur Championship in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
1:45
Speaker 2: That's going to be at the end of July. That's
1:48
Speaker 2: a really cool deal.
1:49
Speaker 1: There's only two hundred and sixty four qualifiers worldwide to
1:52
Speaker 1: get in to the US Junior Amateur, and two of
1:57
Speaker 1: them are from the same high school. And when I
1:59
Speaker 1: found this, I was like, hey, you guys want to
2:01
Speaker 1: come in and talk about on the radio. But eleven
2:03
Speaker 1: o'clock is school time, right Well, Roosevelt graduated last night.
2:07
Speaker 1: Quinn might be a little tired, the senior.
2:10
Speaker 2: A little he's exhausted his eyes. He's probably sleep right now.
2:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet Coach Rose is going to waking him
2:16
Speaker 1: up somewhere, picking him up to bring him down here
2:18
Speaker 1: to Elliott Bay. But thank the guys, I will thank
2:20
Speaker 1: him again for coming, especially Quinn for coming in the morning.
2:23
Speaker 1: After his graduation from Roosevelt High School, he's heading to
2:27
Speaker 1: Santa Clara. He's committed to golf for them as Ian
2:30
Speaker 1: and I joked yesterday that's not going to be too
2:32
Speaker 1: hard to golf in Santa Clara, California while going to
2:35
Speaker 1: school at a beautiful campus in Santa Clara. The junior
2:40
Speaker 1: Carson Church is uncommitted so far, but having qualified for
2:44
Speaker 1: the Junior Amateur, I bet he might get some golf
2:47
Speaker 1: offers if he doesn't already have. We'll talk to them
2:49
Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock. It's part of our Chris and I
2:51
Speaker 1: have a mission here, or at least we have this
2:53
Speaker 1: idea that we want to really grow into something about
2:56
Speaker 1: high school sports on Fridays in the fall, mainly center
3:00
Speaker 1: around high school football and perhaps coaches being a centerpiece
3:04
Speaker 1: of that. Maybe a game of the week we highlight
3:07
Speaker 1: on a Friday as part of our Football Friday we
3:09
Speaker 1: do here on KJR and just to give some exposure
3:12
Speaker 1: to these programs and these coaches and these players and
3:16
Speaker 1: a market, Let's face it is dominated by the Seahawks
3:18
Speaker 1: and the Huskies, and during the fall, there are many, many,
3:22
Speaker 1: many people that listen to us who are into high
3:25
Speaker 1: school football, but because we live in an NFL and
3:28
Speaker 1: a major, big ten school town, don't quite get the
3:32
Speaker 1: recognition and exposure that you would in some other town.
3:36
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big deal. I officiate high school
3:39
Speaker 1: football games and there are events. I mean I've gone
3:42
Speaker 1: to some and cover and officiated some really top notch games.
3:46
Speaker 1: Skyline Bellvue last year was one of the better games
3:49
Speaker 1: I've been officiating since I was in the Bay Area
3:51
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. And that Skyline Bellvue game I
3:53
Speaker 1: officiated at Skyline last October was one of the best
3:57
Speaker 1: games I've ever officiated. It was awesome. It ended on
4:00
Speaker 1: the final play, but we're going to drive to do
4:03
Speaker 1: that in the fall. And I've got some coaching friends
4:06
Speaker 1: and people who have connections with coaches that we're hoping
4:09
Speaker 1: to get on the show. But today, not just football,
4:11
Speaker 1: we can highlight two golfers from the same high school
4:15
Speaker 1: golf program here in Seattle, here in the US junior
4:17
Speaker 1: am two of only two hundred and sixty four junior
4:20
Speaker 1: golfers in the world to qualify for this tournament. So
4:23
Speaker 1: that's what we're going to get the opportunity to do.
4:25
Speaker 1: Eleven thirty the coming Dodge Tech signed four nine, four
4:28
Speaker 1: to five one.
4:28
Speaker 2: As we do every day.
4:30
Speaker 1: At that time, Chris and I were talking about this
4:32
Speaker 1: subject and Kirk because yeah, we should probably talk about
4:35
Speaker 1: this about Brendan Soresby having a pro day. It's not
4:39
Speaker 1: a pro day per se. It is like a amateur
4:42
Speaker 1: amateur pro day because for first of all, it's at
4:44
Speaker 1: a high school Texas. Second is the one I have
4:48
Speaker 1: anything to do with a pro day for a guy
4:49
Speaker 1: who never played for him and they just sent away
4:51
Speaker 1: and said your college career is over. So he's going
4:53
Speaker 1: to have a pro day schedule for South Lake, Texas,
4:57
Speaker 1: a high school in South Lake, Texas, and it's July
5:01
Speaker 1: the tenth, and so Pete Samill was on ESPN yesterday
5:04
Speaker 1: on national television with that Pat McAfee Worldwide Wrestling show
5:10
Speaker 1: he has. Whatever time of the day I come in
5:13
Speaker 1: here sometimes and that's on on the television. I'm like, whoo,
5:15
Speaker 1: what the team doesn't have to be on. I certainly
5:19
Speaker 1: don't watching that guy. But Pete Damill was on there
5:23
Speaker 1: yesterday saying that he's talked to a few NFL teams
5:26
Speaker 1: and that he Pete Samill believes that all thirty two
5:29
Speaker 1: teams will be at this pro day at a high
5:31
Speaker 1: school in Texas on July tenth. There's a ton of
5:35
Speaker 1: suppositions here for that even to be a story. One
5:37
Speaker 1: is well, they'll even be a supplemental draft. The NFL
5:42
Speaker 1: does not have to approve this, and in fact, there
5:45
Speaker 1: has not been an NFL supplemental draft since twenty twenty three.
5:50
Speaker 1: I think they are going to have one because they're
5:52
Speaker 1: going to get the league doesn't want to get sued
5:53
Speaker 1: by denying soresby the opportunity for employment. But that twenty
5:59
Speaker 1: twenty three last supplemento draft, no one got picked in
6:02
Speaker 1: it just because we have a supplemental draft in the NFL.
6:04
Speaker 1: If we do, which is one supposition. If we do,
6:07
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anyone's gonna pick him, Chris. What's gonna stop
6:11
Speaker 1: a team from saying, you know what, I'm not gonna
6:12
Speaker 1: give up a pick in one of my draft picks
6:15
Speaker 1: in any round of next year's draft. Let's just no
6:17
Speaker 1: one's gonna draft him. We'll just pick him up as
6:19
Speaker 1: a street free agent off the street and sign him
6:21
Speaker 1: for whatever deal we want to without losing any draft
6:23
Speaker 1: pick compensation.
6:24
Speaker 2: That's probably the likely response. But then again, if you're
6:28
Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't think of a team that would.
6:30
Speaker 2: But there's probably a team out there. There's like seventh round, Yeah,
6:32
Speaker 2: take two forty. Why not? You know it's not gonna
6:35
Speaker 2: cost me much if he doesn't make the roster, right,
6:38
Speaker 2: and I know it's cheaper to just going, you know, undrafted.
6:41
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about anything. But there might
6:43
Speaker 2: be a team that's like, it's a quarterback. As you
6:45
Speaker 2: told me, you know, teams need quarterbacks, Like that's kind
6:48
Speaker 2: of the position that you want to take a risk
6:51
Speaker 2: seventh round. Sure, what the hell had a little gambling issue,
6:56
Speaker 2: We'll bring him in. Maybe he can. Maybe it's fixed.
6:59
Speaker 2: He's gone through the say all the right catchphrases words
7:02
Speaker 2: that means, oh, he's done the work. He's put in
7:05
Speaker 2: the work to earn a roster spot. Good luck, buddy.
7:08
Speaker 2: There could be a team that might do that. I
7:11
Speaker 2: am probably saying no, but I honestly have never talked
7:14
Speaker 2: to an executive and gauge their opinions on what they
7:17
Speaker 2: look at or an owner and how they want to
7:19
Speaker 2: view players and what player fits there. At the end
7:22
Speaker 2: of the day, if you could play ball, let's say
7:24
Speaker 2: he lights up the pro day. Let's see teams go
7:26
Speaker 2: and it'll be scripted. It'll be something good. You know,
7:31
Speaker 2: no defenders coach speak. He talks to the coaches. He's
7:34
Speaker 2: very respectful, and they're like, maybe this guy, you know,
7:37
Speaker 2: he made a mistake nine thousand mistakes. But my point is,
7:40
Speaker 2: could there be a team that really gives them a shot.
7:43
Speaker 2: I won't say there's zero. There's always a chance. As
7:46
Speaker 2: you mentioned, Greg, players in the NFL are playing and
7:50
Speaker 2: they've done far worse things, whether it's domestic, you name it.
7:53
Speaker 2: They've done things. It's like, wow, and he's on a
7:55
Speaker 2: roster and they're paying them millions, So a couple hundred
7:59
Speaker 2: thousand betting Are you clean, sir? Can you come through
8:03
Speaker 2: the football? We'll take you. I don't know when will
8:06
Speaker 2: take you, but we might draft you.
8:10
Speaker 1: So if the NFL does approve a supplemental draft, it
8:15
Speaker 1: has to happen by July sixteenth. There are rules that
8:18
Speaker 1: say it has to happen no later than one week
8:19
Speaker 1: before the start of training camps in NFL. This year,
8:22
Speaker 1: the first training camp start July twenty third. You heard
8:24
Speaker 1: me mention a minute ago. The Seahawks begin on July
8:27
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, so the draft would have to happen by
8:31
Speaker 1: July sixteenth. The league has to approve a player into
8:34
Speaker 1: a supplemental draft no later than ten days before the
8:38
Speaker 1: draft if there is a supplemental draft, which means July sixth.
8:42
Speaker 1: That is why this pro day that is an agent
8:44
Speaker 1: has scheduled is for July the tenth, after the last
8:47
Speaker 1: date of which the league would have had to make
8:49
Speaker 1: a decision on whether it even have a draft. Having
8:52
Speaker 1: a pro day at a high school in Texas on
8:54
Speaker 1: July tenth, right before the draft is smart because then
8:56
Speaker 1: you get the momentum of whatever and he's gonna look
8:59
Speaker 1: great because he's throwing again to guys that he throws
9:02
Speaker 1: with in the Parkers' backyard. And so that's six days
9:06
Speaker 1: before what the supplemental draft would be. And Chris's point
9:09
Speaker 1: is a good one. It's the quarterback position, and somebody
9:12
Speaker 1: in the league is going to think they've found an
9:13
Speaker 1: edge on a quarterback and they can get one for
9:15
Speaker 1: a late round pick. They will probably take a flyer
9:18
Speaker 1: on him. But again I'm not convinced that this happens either.
9:21
Speaker 1: So just to let you know a little bit how
9:23
Speaker 1: sports journalism works. If you don't know already, Pete Samill
9:27
Speaker 1: when he goes on national television and says this stuff, well,
9:30
Speaker 1: where's he getting it from? Pete Samill covers college football.
9:33
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what an NFL team's going to do.
9:35
Speaker 1: He's not talking to every executive in the NFL. He's
9:39
Speaker 1: getting his information from the agent of the player, who,
9:42
Speaker 1: of course, isn't his best interest to promote the likelihood
9:46
Speaker 1: of NFL teams one come into a pro day and
9:49
Speaker 1: two drafting him in three the NFL approving said draft.
9:54
Speaker 1: There are a lot of subpositions. Here is what I'm
9:55
Speaker 1: trying to say, and none of them are automatics. But
10:00
Speaker 1: just to let you know where the source of this
10:02
Speaker 1: stuff is. It's not like nflgms are calling Pete family
10:04
Speaker 1: and saying, Hey, I'm going to come to Brandon Sorosby's
10:07
Speaker 1: in the middle of my only vacation time. By the way,
10:10
Speaker 1: in an NFL calendar, I'm going to leave my wife
10:12
Speaker 1: and kids and I'm going to go to Southfield, Texas
10:15
Speaker 1: or whatever the hell I just said. It was south Lake,
10:17
Speaker 1: Texas to a pro day for a guy who's been
10:21
Speaker 1: kicked out of college football. But again, that's a leap
10:24
Speaker 1: of supposition there that that is even going to happen.
10:27
Speaker 1: But when you read though and hear those stories, that's
10:30
Speaker 1: where they come from. And the agent's job is to
10:33
Speaker 1: make as much money as he can for his client
10:35
Speaker 1: who's paying him to make as much money as he can.
10:38
Speaker 1: So you're going to hear stories about the NFL is
10:41
Speaker 1: going gag over Brendan Soersby. I'm just not buying it.
10:45
Speaker 1: You're going to probably hear the stories that the Seahawks
10:47
Speaker 1: are involved. I think there's already one in the paper today.
10:51
Speaker 1: But yes, we have talked about John Schneider. He doesn't
10:55
Speaker 1: let any event of a player in scouting go by
10:58
Speaker 1: without the Seahawks being involved, just to make sure they're involved.
11:01
Speaker 1: It would not surprise me if he sent somebody. It
11:03
Speaker 1: would surprise me if he showed up himself on his
11:05
Speaker 1: only vacation block of this. But it will not surprise
11:08
Speaker 1: me if the Seahawks will represent it if there, in
11:09
Speaker 1: fact is a pro day but four nine four five
11:14
Speaker 1: one the komodadge tech line. One do you think there
11:17
Speaker 1: will be a supplemental draft so the NFL even to
11:19
Speaker 1: prove it?
11:20
Speaker 2: Two?
11:20
Speaker 1: Do you think any NFL team will use a draft
11:22
Speaker 1: pick that'll have to cost them a pick in the
11:24
Speaker 1: regular draft next spring? Remember we talked about the rules
11:26
Speaker 1: of the supplemental draft the other day. You use a
11:28
Speaker 1: fifth round pick in the supplemental draft, you lose a
11:30
Speaker 1: fifth round pick next spring. Do you think a team's
11:33
Speaker 1: gonna do that? And Three would you think the Seahawks
11:37
Speaker 1: would even have any interest at all? I will tell
11:38
Speaker 1: you I think there is zero chance the Seahawks would
11:41
Speaker 1: ever bring that guy in the Mike McDonald's locker room.
11:43
Speaker 2: That I think that is the one team that I'm
11:45
Speaker 2: just like, no chance, no.
11:46
Speaker 1: Way a coach that big on culture whose brotherhood is
11:50
Speaker 1: the reason why the players say is why they won
11:53
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, is not bringing a guy. I mean,
11:56
Speaker 1: NFL players can read papers and Internet. They know who
11:59
Speaker 1: this dude is is and what he did. And Mike
12:02
Speaker 1: McDonald absolutely is on the pulse of that locker room
12:06
Speaker 1: and what they like and don't like and what they're
12:08
Speaker 1: for and not for. He ain't upsetting that Apple cut
12:12
Speaker 1: that just won the Super Bowl by bringing this cat
12:14
Speaker 1: in in my mind. But part of John Schneyder's job
12:18
Speaker 1: is to keep up appearances and keep up tabs on
12:21
Speaker 1: what's going on around the league. That's why he went
12:23
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen's pro day at Wyoming famously while Russell
12:26
Speaker 1: Wilson was in his prime here in Seattle four nine,
12:28
Speaker 1: four or five one. You're a feeling on this whole thing.
12:31
Speaker 1: I have a feeling you're going to say the Seahawks
12:33
Speaker 1: need to stay. I hope my team here in Seattle
12:36
Speaker 1: stays clear of this whole issue. But again, just to
12:38
Speaker 1: let you know, no team has to draft him. It's
12:41
Speaker 1: been twenty nineteen since the last player was taken in
12:44
Speaker 1: a supplemental draft. Jalen Thompson, a safety. Chris said that
12:48
Speaker 1: he remembers from Washington State went to the Arizona Cardinals.
12:51
Speaker 1: Has to become a good player for them. A player
12:54
Speaker 1: cannot just bypass a regular draft and get into a
12:56
Speaker 1: supplemental draft. There have to be extenuating reasons why he
12:58
Speaker 1: couldn't qualify for the regular draft. It's often in a
13:01
Speaker 1: it's often eligibility issues with the NCAAA, as it is
13:04
Speaker 1: in this case when Soresby decided he's not playing college
13:08
Speaker 1: football after all, that came after the regular draft declaring period.
13:12
Speaker 1: So here we are, four nine, four to five one.
13:14
Speaker 1: Your opinions on that, Your opinions on the Mariners and
13:17
Speaker 1: what they do next, because we're going to talk about
13:19
Speaker 1: what I saw at the yard last night. You can't
13:21
Speaker 1: go to a Mariner game these days about something happening.
13:24
Speaker 1: I mean something out of the ordinary and something that
13:26
Speaker 1: unusual happened last night when I saw Julio Rodriguez race
13:29
Speaker 1: right in front of me to catch a fly ball.
13:30
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that, and at eleven o'clock we'll talk golf.
13:33
Speaker 1: We'll have two Roosevelt High School golfers here in Seattle
13:37
Speaker 1: who are have qualified for the Union US Junior Amateur
13:40
Speaker 1: and their coach will be in here in the studio.
13:42
Speaker 1: Up next US Open Golf Update on ninety three point
13:45
Speaker 1: three KJRFN. Welcome back to the show, Greg Belt, Christopher
13:56
Speaker 1: Kid with you usual. We are every day ten to
13:58
Speaker 1: noon a ninety three point three KJRFM. At eleven o'clock
14:01
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Roosevelt High School senior golfer Quinn Burwell,
14:04
Speaker 1: he just graduated last night. Congrats to Quinn and Roosevelt
14:07
Speaker 1: junior golfer Carson Church. Both qualified for the US Junior
14:11
Speaker 1: Amateur Championship next month. There are two hundred and sixty
14:14
Speaker 1: four qualifiers worldwide. Two of them came from the same
14:17
Speaker 1: high school here in Seattle. We'll talk to them and
14:19
Speaker 1: their coach, Max Rose, at eleven o'clock here in the
14:21
Speaker 1: studio live.
14:24
Speaker 2: The US Open started today.
14:25
Speaker 1: Yes, I mistakenly read the start time for Scotti Scheffler,
14:28
Speaker 1: who you just heard on the update is already three
14:30
Speaker 1: over with a double bogie on eight. He's teed off
14:33
Speaker 1: after seven o'clock this morning. I was reading his tea
14:35
Speaker 1: time for Friday tomorrow after eleven o'clock Seattle time. So
14:39
Speaker 1: thank you. The text line lets you know, don't they.
14:42
Speaker 1: It's nice to know they're listening.
14:44
Speaker 2: Oh hey, you we found that out yesterday. Greg. We
14:47
Speaker 2: had Applebee's should have been Chili's and baby back. You know,
14:51
Speaker 2: we can go on and on about the text line
14:53
Speaker 2: will put you in place.
14:54
Speaker 1: Okay, So thank you for being vigilant. I want to
14:57
Speaker 1: be accurate in my information, so thank you for that.
15:00
Speaker 1: I said. The marriage game last night, We're sitting right
15:02
Speaker 1: behind third base, perfect night. The other twenty eight thousand
15:05
Speaker 1: people there. The weather was just idyllic. Chris had gone
15:08
Speaker 1: the night before, got the same deal with about the
15:10
Speaker 1: same number of people there. Although Chris got to see
15:12
Speaker 1: a win, I got to see. Sorry, Greg, I didn't
15:15
Speaker 1: want to run that in, but you brought it up,
15:17
Speaker 1: not me. So with that being said, you know, tough Lugreg.
15:20
Speaker 1: Next time, though, next time we both got to see
15:22
Speaker 1: injuries unfortunately, and Randy Rosrena went on the injured list
15:26
Speaker 1: left footer on Monday. Right before the game last night,
15:30
Speaker 1: top of the six two on Orioles, Julio Rodriguez is
15:33
Speaker 1: zooming at us from center field to left center and
15:36
Speaker 1: he gets He's so fast that he got to this
15:38
Speaker 1: line drive that looked like it might be a double
15:41
Speaker 1: in plenty of time. He's there, he's making the catch.
15:44
Speaker 1: It as he makes the catch, he jumps, he's a
15:46
Speaker 1: little hop and all of us said, well, that was
15:49
Speaker 1: kind of showy and kind of unnecessary actually, because he
15:52
Speaker 1: was already there. Even my daughter twenty three of the
15:55
Speaker 1: ensign from the coast Guard there's no ton about baseball.
15:58
Speaker 1: College rower and hockey player said why did he jump?
16:01
Speaker 1: He was already there, looked pretty though they had smoke
16:03
Speaker 1: come out of the behind the walls and celebrate the catch,
16:07
Speaker 1: and it did look fancy, but it was peculiar. It
16:10
Speaker 1: turns out that's the end the play of the Peers
16:13
Speaker 1: that he injured his hamstring. He came out of the
16:16
Speaker 1: game at the top of that was the top of
16:18
Speaker 1: the sixth. He struck out feebly in the bottom of
16:22
Speaker 1: the sixth and just waved. He struck out earlier in
16:25
Speaker 1: the game, was first at bet the same way, sandwiched
16:28
Speaker 1: around the double that we talked about at the headlines.
16:30
Speaker 1: He had two really weak looking strikeouts. The second one
16:33
Speaker 1: was after this jump where he apparently hurt himself. So
16:37
Speaker 1: you're in the yard and we didn't know I kind
16:41
Speaker 1: of it was peculiar that number ten was in center
16:44
Speaker 1: field and the seventh inning, but I didn't think much
16:47
Speaker 1: of it. It was during the warm ups between ennings and
16:49
Speaker 1: we're talking and hanging out and whatever. Well, ten, of
16:51
Speaker 1: course is Victor Roblaz who had started in right field,
16:54
Speaker 1: but I noticed he was in center and I didn't
16:56
Speaker 1: it kind of did a double take, but I didn't
16:57
Speaker 1: think any more of it. An the eighth inning, with
17:01
Speaker 1: the game on the line, rob Reschneider comes up and
17:03
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's in the third spot
17:05
Speaker 1: for Rodriguez. When you're at the yard, they don't announce
17:08
Speaker 1: the injuries. They don't say Rodriguez out of the game
17:12
Speaker 1: calf like they do in the press box. So all
17:15
Speaker 1: of us in section one forty two are like, what
17:17
Speaker 1: the hell is going on?
17:19
Speaker 2: Is this handedness?
17:20
Speaker 1: Again? Is this analytics?
17:22
Speaker 2: Is this ipeed?
17:23
Speaker 1: What Refschneider one forty four batting average is in the
17:27
Speaker 1: game with the game on the line. What are we
17:29
Speaker 1: doing here? How why is he Well turns out he
17:31
Speaker 1: had been in the game the previous inning because he
17:33
Speaker 1: went into the right field when everybody moved the center
17:35
Speaker 1: when they took Rodriguez out, but we didn't see that,
17:37
Speaker 1: didn't notice that, and nobody in section one forty two
17:39
Speaker 1: noticed it either.
17:40
Speaker 2: We were all gassed.
17:41
Speaker 1: Of course, ref Schneider struck out looking because that's what
17:45
Speaker 1: his one forty batting average said he's.
17:46
Speaker 2: Probably gonna do.
17:49
Speaker 1: And then, thankfully, my man, great friend of mine for
17:52
Speaker 1: a long time, since I covered the Mariner's day to
17:54
Speaker 1: day twenty years ago, Tim Heavley, the PR director and
17:57
Speaker 1: vice president for the marriage sent me a note saying
18:00
Speaker 1: Rodriguez had left the game an ending earlier. Basically, he
18:02
Speaker 1: was being nice to say, wy don't you wake up
18:04
Speaker 1: and watch the game with my family and my daughter
18:08
Speaker 1: and my son, And I hadn't. It's good having a
18:10
Speaker 1: good time. But yes, that's why, because Rodriguez had left
18:14
Speaker 1: the game. He was and all of you on television
18:17
Speaker 1: saw that he was talking to a trainer in the
18:19
Speaker 1: dugout and then was escorted into the clubhouse and then
18:22
Speaker 1: they make the defensive switch for that inning. So yeah,
18:25
Speaker 1: I was totally unaware. And res Schneider, but if you
18:28
Speaker 1: got Reschneider and Connor Joe the four a player with
18:32
Speaker 1: two first names, you rely on them to win your game,
18:35
Speaker 1: You're going to get a five to three loss, get
18:37
Speaker 1: you back to back home runs on consecutive pitches in
18:39
Speaker 1: the ninth. Notwithstanding, Connor Joe struck out twice looking the
18:44
Speaker 1: one time he hit the ball last night, it was
18:46
Speaker 1: a single to center field. The center fielder misplayed it
18:49
Speaker 1: all almost all the way the wall, and then Connor
18:52
Speaker 1: Joe has an easy double and he's running through second
18:54
Speaker 1: and going to third, and he was out from me
18:57
Speaker 1: to you. As Vince Calley used to say all the time,
19:00
Speaker 1: it looked like he was pulling a tractor trailer behind
19:02
Speaker 1: him when he got past second base and he was
19:04
Speaker 1: out by a mile. That was the one time Connor
19:07
Speaker 1: Joe did do anything. My son and I are big
19:09
Speaker 1: Pirates fans. I grew up and born just west of
19:11
Speaker 1: Three River Stadium, so he's become a Pirate fan by birth.
19:15
Speaker 1: And Connor Joe is infamous in Pittsburgh because he played
19:19
Speaker 1: many years and on many bad teams and didn't do
19:22
Speaker 1: really great doing it. And my son was just like, yeah,
19:25
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh loves you, yelling at him as he was in
19:28
Speaker 1: left field.
19:29
Speaker 2: Anyway, the.
19:33
Speaker 1: Connor Joe is in the game because he had started
19:36
Speaker 1: when he just got off a plane from Salt Lake.
19:38
Speaker 1: He was with the Triple A Roniers who were in
19:40
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. And you remember the story of the
19:44
Speaker 1: one ninety hitting outfitter from Single A. Ever Curtis Washington Junior,
19:48
Speaker 1: the twenty six year old who got the emergency call
19:50
Speaker 1: up on Monday. By the end of the game, my
19:52
Speaker 1: son was yelling they should have kept Washington, kept the
19:54
Speaker 1: guy and having make another forty five hundred bucks to
19:57
Speaker 1: go another day. You know, I was thinking about that
19:59
Speaker 1: last Chris. Why would they not? I mean, yeah, you're
20:04
Speaker 1: trying to win a game and it was you. The
20:05
Speaker 1: game you were at was what three to one in
20:07
Speaker 1: the top of the night. But why not stick Curtis
20:11
Speaker 1: Washington Junior, twenty six years old, who might not ever
20:14
Speaker 1: play baseball because he's a single lay at twenty six,
20:16
Speaker 1: who might be getting a job in the real world
20:18
Speaker 1: the next year or two. He's up, he's in the show,
20:21
Speaker 1: he's on the bench in the major league uniform. Stick
20:23
Speaker 1: him in left field for the ninth inning. No, that's
20:27
Speaker 1: why you're on this show. Great because you give a
20:29
Speaker 1: different perspective. No one would have thought of that, but
20:31
Speaker 1: that is that would have been cool because the rest
20:34
Speaker 1: of his life. He could say he would be in
20:35
Speaker 1: major league records is having played in a major league game?
20:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I totally understand. That you have a lead,
20:42
Speaker 2: you confident your closes are going to handle back.
20:43
Speaker 1: You got munder's on the mound.
20:45
Speaker 2: It's kind of to the effect of, you know, when
20:47
Speaker 2: there's like three minutes left in a fourth quarter of
20:49
Speaker 2: a NHL NBANFL game, put a rookie in there. Let
20:52
Speaker 2: him get an opportunity just to experience it. Granted he
20:56
Speaker 2: might not ever get the opportunity again. The Seahawks, though,
20:59
Speaker 2: they were whooping team's ass about the season, so you
21:01
Speaker 2: probably saw a lot of guys you never think would
21:02
Speaker 2: get to play. They were out there, So I get it.
21:06
Speaker 2: The Seahawks were at a different level. They were winning
21:08
Speaker 2: games in incredible fashion. The manners aren't there, and that
21:12
Speaker 2: might be why they didn't do that. But to bring
21:14
Speaker 2: it all full circle, I think to your point, that
21:17
Speaker 2: would have been a good opportunity just to get him
21:19
Speaker 2: out there and enjoy that moment and embrace it and
21:22
Speaker 2: be able to say, wow, I got to live my
21:24
Speaker 2: dream of playing in a major league game. Because I
21:27
Speaker 2: don't know when he'll get that opportunity again. He's been
21:29
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues for six seven years. If he's
21:33
Speaker 2: at Single A at age twenty six, I mean that's
21:36
Speaker 2: he may not be playing baseball. But he could have
21:38
Speaker 2: kept the ball, he could have kept the glove, he
21:40
Speaker 2: could have had his jersey signed. He would frame that thing,
21:44
Speaker 2: and matter where he would work, he'd say, man, I
21:47
Speaker 2: played in the show, I got one game. He'd be
21:49
Speaker 2: in Baseball Reference for the history Mariner's history. Unfortunate because
21:55
Speaker 2: he's probably not coming back because that's confluence of events
21:58
Speaker 2: and somebody didn't put on the injured list an hour
22:01
Speaker 2: before the game and he's thirty minutes up the road.
22:02
Speaker 2: Never is probably not going to happen again, which is
22:04
Speaker 2: the only reason that Curtis Washington Junior was there to
22:08
Speaker 2: begin with.
22:08
Speaker 1: So shout out to Curtis Washington Junior. The show here
22:11
Speaker 1: wishes you had gone in the game and could have
22:14
Speaker 1: had that for the rest of your life.
22:15
Speaker 2: Four nine, four to.
22:16
Speaker 1: Five one coming to Oute Tech sid Is it time
22:18
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring up something we haven't never talked about
22:19
Speaker 1: on this show? Is it time to bring up Las Montes,
22:23
Speaker 1: the top prospect at Double A the outfitter who's six five,
22:26
Speaker 1: two ten. When you got Reschneider and Connor Joe trying
22:30
Speaker 1: to win you some games, I think it might be
22:32
Speaker 1: time to bring up last Montes. Huh. Las Montes is
22:36
Speaker 1: at double A and has been the top outfield prospect
22:40
Speaker 1: for the marriage for a while. We talked about double
22:41
Speaker 1: A ball and how teams are bringing up Texas League
22:45
Speaker 1: players and skipping triple A and Anderson the pitcher who's
22:50
Speaker 1: just dealing down there of being potentially another one. But
22:53
Speaker 1: four nine, four to five one you want to see Laz,
22:55
Speaker 1: is it time to bring him up? Where you don't
22:57
Speaker 1: rush a kid up in the middle of June of
23:01
Speaker 1: a first place team. But man, you gotta about pull
23:03
Speaker 1: the rip cord on. Say what if they should they
23:06
Speaker 1: Maybe they should just put July Rodriguez on the injury
23:08
Speaker 1: list for ten days so he cannot have gregave of
23:10
Speaker 1: his handstring injury and make it a bigger deal like
23:13
Speaker 1: they did with Randy Roserita the same thing the night before.
23:15
Speaker 1: So that's my question on the takomodage tech line. If
23:19
Speaker 1: you want to see Las, is it time to bring
23:21
Speaker 1: him up from double A six five to ten? That
23:24
Speaker 1: would be an interesting presence. You don't teach that right,
23:29
Speaker 1: that would be different in the Mariners outfield, or we
23:31
Speaker 1: can see Connor Joe, there's options. His hair slowed him
23:37
Speaker 1: down between second and third last night. He's got long,
23:39
Speaker 1: long hair up. Next World Cup ticket prices, guess what,
23:43
Speaker 1: Chris they're dropping for the US Australia match tomorrow. That's
23:48
Speaker 1: something of a joke. I explain that next eleven o'clock
23:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna have two Roosevelt High School golfers from Seattle
23:53
Speaker 1: and their coach, Max Rose, who qualified for the US
23:56
Speaker 1: Junior Amateur Championship. Only two hundred and sixty four people
23:59
Speaker 1: in the world can qualify for that, and two of
24:01
Speaker 1: them came from the same high school in Seattle. That's
24:03
Speaker 1: coming up on ninety three point three KJRF. Then welcome
24:26
Speaker 1: back to the Greg Belt Show with Christopher kid Live
24:28
Speaker 1: on ninety three point three kJ r FM. You talked
24:32
Speaker 1: about the Brendan Soresby situation, supplemental draft if there even
24:36
Speaker 1: is going to be one. We talked about the Mariners
24:38
Speaker 1: in their latest woes of injury and maybe rodriguez best
24:44
Speaker 1: option is just to shut him down a hamstring injury.
24:46
Speaker 1: You don't want to go on and on. Maybe they
24:48
Speaker 1: will do the same as they did with Randy Rose
24:50
Speaker 1: Arena injured in last night's game. Julia Rodriguez, we'll have
24:55
Speaker 1: a keyword for you at eleven o'clock. WHI also going
24:57
Speaker 1: to talk to Quinn Burwell and Carson Church along with
25:01
Speaker 1: their coach, Max Rose Rosdale High School golf team, and
25:04
Speaker 1: they've they have qualified for the US Junior Amateur Championship
25:08
Speaker 1: next month in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Two hundred and sixty four
25:12
Speaker 1: golfers around the world qualify for that event, and two
25:15
Speaker 1: of them goes to the same high school, walking the
25:16
Speaker 1: same halls, eating at the same lunch period. That's pretty cool.
25:20
Speaker 1: It happens to be the school that's right next to
25:21
Speaker 1: my house that my kids graduated from in twenty twenty
25:24
Speaker 1: one to two. You'll hear from them at eleven o'clock.
25:26
Speaker 1: They're in the studio here. I gotta get them headphones
25:27
Speaker 1: because they're just staring at me because they can't hear
25:29
Speaker 1: really what I'm saying. The World Cup, everything about the
25:34
Speaker 1: World Cup in the US comes tomorrow to Seattle. They're
25:37
Speaker 1: actually here today. They're at the University of Washington practicing
25:40
Speaker 1: on Husky soccer pitch on the grass field this morning.
25:42
Speaker 1: All eyes on it whether Christian Polisic is practicing. He's
25:46
Speaker 1: got a caf strain and has a practice all week.
25:48
Speaker 1: His teammates think, yeah, he's practicing. I mean he's playing tomorrow.
25:51
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that. But all of the soccerdom for
25:54
Speaker 1: the United States has now descended on Seattle in preparation
25:57
Speaker 1: for tomorrow at noon. We're going to be down there tomorrow.
26:01
Speaker 1: Jimmy's on first before the game ten a in to noon.
26:04
Speaker 1: Chuck Palell is going to be down there from six
26:06
Speaker 1: to ten at Jimmy's right across the street from the
26:09
Speaker 1: State and the soccer ruse are massing at Victory Hall
26:12
Speaker 1: right across this first avenue from the Mariners Park and
26:16
Speaker 1: are going to march into the stadium. And if it's
26:18
Speaker 1: anything like Vancouver Saturday night, that's going to be a scene,
26:22
Speaker 1: the soccer rous, the Australians and their fans. It's going
26:25
Speaker 1: to be a scene down in Soto tomorrow morning in
26:29
Speaker 1: advance of that noon kickoff. If you want to go, Chris,
26:33
Speaker 1: the ticket prices have dropped.
26:37
Speaker 2: It's not quite that okay.
26:39
Speaker 1: It went from two remember yesterday, I said on Softy's
26:42
Speaker 1: Vivid Seats it's two thy eighty seven dollars to get
26:45
Speaker 1: in yesterday, What a bargain. Now it's down to fifteen
26:49
Speaker 1: to seventy five. Oh, it's even better. I mean, why
26:51
Speaker 1: pay more? Eh, that's for a group stage match. Yeah,
26:56
Speaker 1: if you want to bring your significant other, you're gonna
26:59
Speaker 1: have to. Yeahs an he or she better be very
27:02
Speaker 1: significant at that price. You know, when the World Cup
27:06
Speaker 1: comes to Seattle, the site vivinseats dot com the fifteen
27:10
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five dollars seat that's in the third
27:12
Speaker 1: deck corner. They call it a ten out of ten
27:16
Speaker 1: fantastic deal. Those are true soccer fans. This is for
27:21
Speaker 1: a group stage match. Remember we said if the United
27:23
Speaker 1: States beats Australia tomorrow, they will have the inside track
27:26
Speaker 1: to winning their group. If they win their group, they'll
27:29
Speaker 1: have a favorable matchup against a third place team in
27:31
Speaker 1: the round of thirty two knockout stage. And then if
27:35
Speaker 1: they win the round of thirty two by winning the group,
27:37
Speaker 1: that team from that group that wins would be tracked
27:40
Speaker 1: to play the round of sixteen knockout game in Seattle July.
27:44
Speaker 1: The sixth, So all of you that are think about
27:47
Speaker 1: should I put fifteen hundred down on this?
27:50
Speaker 2: Wait?
27:51
Speaker 1: If you are, if you're an American, has faith in
27:53
Speaker 1: your team, wait and spend your money on July sixth, Right,
27:57
Speaker 1: Greg is giving you better if you gambler, some advice
28:00
Speaker 1: I would I would listen. Greg doesn't do this often.
28:02
Speaker 1: I think this is what your second time giving out.
28:05
Speaker 2: You're you're turning this into better advice. Chris, I was
28:08
Speaker 2: not giving apologies. Don't let me jump again. Continue what
28:11
Speaker 2: you're saying to you. I'm just saying.
28:12
Speaker 1: If I'm my son and I have had this discussion.
28:15
Speaker 1: My son's the richest twenty three year old I know
28:18
Speaker 1: in terms of saved money. He doesn't spend any money.
28:20
Speaker 1: He keeps making it, but he doesn't save it. I
28:23
Speaker 1: mean he doesn't spend it, he just saves it. If
28:25
Speaker 1: ever a twenty three year old has the cash to
28:27
Speaker 1: throw down fifteen hundred on a World Cup match, he does.
28:31
Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, though, they may be coming back. Yeah,
28:35
Speaker 1: in two weeks time. July sixth, a little over two
28:38
Speaker 1: weeks for a game that actually is a knockout winner.
28:40
Speaker 1: Take all, right, or you got to win or go home.
28:42
Speaker 2: How much you think that's going to cost the exactly
28:45
Speaker 2: And that's so maybe three grand double the price now
28:48
Speaker 2: because it's a knockout round.
28:49
Speaker 1: Or but if you spend fifteen hundred tomorrow, you have
28:52
Speaker 1: less that that half as much abo three thousand to
28:55
Speaker 1: spend on you spent like twenty five hundred now because
28:57
Speaker 1: you went to both games, if that's how you want
28:59
Speaker 1: to do it.
28:59
Speaker 2: But if I know Eric's a big soccer fan, Eric,
29:02
Speaker 2: if you got.
29:02
Speaker 1: That money, man, I'm just saying, Yolo, you only live once,
29:06
Speaker 1: you know, and then you'll start working again.
29:08
Speaker 2: You can build out four k back up, just saying.
29:11
Speaker 1: As long as mom and Dad have him his landlords, he'll.
29:14
Speaker 2: What did he take out a Greg Baill loan?
29:17
Speaker 1: He could?
29:18
Speaker 2: Dad, let me hold two grand, I'll pay you with entry.
29:20
Speaker 1: I was I was going to try to get him
29:22
Speaker 1: into a ticket to the Super Bowl. He wasn't down
29:24
Speaker 1: there with me. My wife and I were down in
29:26
Speaker 1: Santa Clara, San Francisco, and we were looking for tickets
29:29
Speaker 1: for him and he didn't want to pay that And
29:32
Speaker 1: that was at the time. I found him a ticket
29:35
Speaker 1: for about thirty five hundred dollars.
29:38
Speaker 2: D and that you know where are you sitting me there?
29:41
Speaker 1: Greg?
29:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly.
29:43
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to pay fifteen hundred dollars,
29:45
Speaker 1: that means you just have some common sense and I'm
29:47
Speaker 1: not blaming.
29:48
Speaker 2: You at all.
29:49
Speaker 1: You can go to a Seattle Center tomorrow is opening
29:52
Speaker 1: a outdoor viewing party place that they have not yet use.
29:55
Speaker 2: We've talked about Peer sixty.
29:56
