Chuck & Buck 4-24 Hour 2: 12th Man News with Gregg Bell, The Drafties and ABC's of the Mariners. · Chuck in the Morning

0:06
Speaker 1: It was weird.
0:07
Speaker 2: I thought we were going back for sure, and then
0:09
Speaker 2: things just went like no, no, no, no no. So
0:13
Speaker 2: I think everybody was must have been hyper focused there
0:15
Speaker 2: with like Rutledge, Chris Johnson, fulk, I forget who else
0:22
Speaker 2: written there. I'm sorry, it just happened.
0:28
Speaker 3: Sorry not sorry.
0:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know he didn't want it to come across
0:33
Speaker 4: that way, but it kind of came across that. He
0:35
Speaker 4: was disappointed. I know he didn't want to come across
0:38
Speaker 4: that way. Yeah, but obviously the objective was to get
0:41
Speaker 4: Jadari in price and some extra picks. But they ran
0:44
Speaker 4: out of trade partners dance partners last night because of
0:48
Speaker 4: the flurry of trades that happened for him, all the
0:50
Speaker 4: people that I'm sure weeks of talking to over the
0:54
Speaker 4: phone to trying to gauge who wants to come up
0:57
Speaker 4: into the first round to drive somebody, all those teams,
1:02
Speaker 4: it feels like got up ahead of them, like we
1:05
Speaker 4: don't want to wait around for thirty two and get ahead,
1:08
Speaker 4: so they all moved up ahead of them. I mean
1:10
Speaker 4: there were three trades. Three hours went by. There were
1:13
Speaker 4: three trades, and all there were significant trades, but nothing
1:17
Speaker 4: like oh my gosh, I can't believe they moved all
1:19
Speaker 4: the way from twenty two. The trades, they were all
1:22
Speaker 4: just a couple of spots, and I thought it was
1:24
Speaker 4: the perfect balance. I really do like I like trades,
1:28
Speaker 4: but if you have too many now it starts to
1:30
Speaker 4: get a little.
1:30
Speaker 3: Convoluted, it's too hard to follow.
1:32
Speaker 4: And I kind of liked sticking picks too, but then again,
1:36
Speaker 4: I'm a draft crazed lunatic a little bit. But then
1:40
Speaker 4: right before as they're getting ready to really own in
1:43
Speaker 4: on who they might take or who they might trade with,
1:46
Speaker 4: bang bang bang bang, there were six trades. Yeah, six
1:49
Speaker 4: trades in the span of four picks. There were two
1:53
Speaker 4: teams that traded twice. Yeah, so yeah, they kind of
1:58
Speaker 4: pulled the rug out from under trader John last night,
2:02
Speaker 4: and he ended up doing what none of us expected,
2:05
Speaker 4: sticking and picking, and he took Jadarian Price the running
2:09
Speaker 4: back out of Notre Dame, which I think is making
2:11
Speaker 4: the twelves very happy right now. And so yeah, why
2:17
Speaker 4: not get something of need, get something of value, and
2:20
Speaker 4: why mess around if you're trying to get a running
2:22
Speaker 4: back and it's not a great crop of running backs,
2:26
Speaker 4: getting somebody you like filling what looked to be your
2:28
Speaker 4: biggest need. I think a lot of people are okay
2:32
Speaker 4: with it. Yes, maybe it would have been better to
2:34
Speaker 4: have him in some extra picks as well. Yeah, there
2:36
Speaker 4: was a better case scenario for John Schneider in the Seahawks.
2:39
Speaker 4: But I think it's just fine.
2:41
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah, if it was gonna go perfectly, yes, but yeah.
2:43
Speaker 4: It was a great night. I just thought it was
2:45
Speaker 4: a really good balance. And I don't get the people
2:48
Speaker 4: like it's a down year for the draft. It's never
2:50
Speaker 4: a down year for the draft. I don't care if
2:53
Speaker 4: it's not the loaded talent class like we've seen in
2:56
Speaker 4: the past. We're still going to have thirty two dreams. True.
3:01
Speaker 4: We're still going to have raw emotions being spilled. We're
3:04
Speaker 4: still going to have family celebrating, which is good for
3:07
Speaker 4: the heart. You're still going to have a couple of
3:09
Speaker 4: those turns that are pissed off that they didn't go
3:11
Speaker 4: where they should, yeah, which can't wait to rip them
3:14
Speaker 4: apart later on in the show. And you're still going
3:18
Speaker 4: to have the trade drama and the I can't believe
3:20
Speaker 4: they went there and whoa, that was a reach. You're
3:23
Speaker 4: still going to have all of that. That's what the
3:25
Speaker 4: draft's all about.
3:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it doesn't matter. What if it's an up year,
3:28
Speaker 3: down year, it's still all going to be there.
3:30
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter at all. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it does
3:32
Speaker 4: not matter at all from a football fan draft fan standpoint.
3:38
Speaker 4: How if the it's a year rich with talent or
3:42
Speaker 4: a little off. Maybe it is a little off, that's
3:45
Speaker 4: a hell of a first round. So anyway, welcome to
3:49
Speaker 4: the show. It's Chuck and Ashley. Today. We're reacting to
3:52
Speaker 4: day number one of the draft. We're getting you ready
3:53
Speaker 4: for a day number two, which will start tonight at
3:55
Speaker 4: four o'clock. It'll be rounds two and three. Seahawks picking
3:58
Speaker 4: at sixty four and ninety six. Right now, maybe John
4:02
Speaker 4: Schneider will still try to move one of those picks
4:04
Speaker 4: to try to pick up something else in this draft.
4:06
Speaker 4: As of now, they still only have their four selections.
4:09
Speaker 4: We'll talk more about that with Greg Bell here in
4:11
Speaker 4: a moment. Mike Rabel's not going to draft. He's not
4:15
Speaker 4: going to be part of the ceremonies tomorrow for the
4:17
Speaker 4: New England Patriots. He's going to be working on his
4:21
Speaker 4: family on the third day of the draft. Interesting, the
4:26
Speaker 4: Rabel Russini story just continues to get larger and larger
4:31
Speaker 4: and larger and more convoluted. So maybe we'll have some
4:35
Speaker 4: time to talk about it later. Maybe not. Mariner's back
4:38
Speaker 4: in action after a day off there in Saint Louis
4:41
Speaker 4: taking on the Cardinals. Not the atmosphere that you used
4:44
Speaker 4: to have in Saint Louis. Those fans are pissed off
4:46
Speaker 4: in Saint Louis, and they're never pissed off in Saint Louis,
4:49
Speaker 4: but they don't fill up the seats like they used to.
4:53
Speaker 4: And yet it'll be a fun environment and a chance
4:57
Speaker 4: for the Mariners to continue to prove that maybe they
5:00
Speaker 4: did get back on track. George Kirby gets the start
5:03
Speaker 4: against Andre Pollant. That's your pitching matchup, first pitch. At
5:07
Speaker 4: five point fifteen NBA Playoffs, all underdogs won. Atlanta's up
5:11
Speaker 4: to to one on the Knicks, Timberwolves up to to
5:13
Speaker 4: one on Denver. Toronto won last night, so they got
5:17
Speaker 4: back in the series. They still trailed Cleveland two to one,
5:20
Speaker 4: Boston at Philly tonight, Lakers at Houston, and San Antonio
5:23
Speaker 4: at Portland. Victor Winbin Yama did make the flight to
5:27
Speaker 4: San Antonio, so maybe he will suit up tonight for
5:30
Speaker 4: the Spurs, despite the concussion he suffered in Game number two.
5:34
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup Playoffs. Buffalo Carolina, Colorado all winners last night Tonight,
5:38
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay at Montreal, Edmonton at Anaheim, and Las Vegas
5:42
Speaker 4: at Utah. They're hosting their first Stanley Cup playoff game
5:45
Speaker 4: in franchise history. Let's talk with Greg with the Bell tolls.
5:50
Speaker 6: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man

6:06
Speaker 6: Now with plunk Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
6:09
Speaker 6: and Butt.
6:11
Speaker 4: By the way, your cash word today is mediam e
6:14
Speaker 4: da Enter that at ninety three to three KJR dot
6:17
Speaker 4: com for your shot at one thousand dollars. I think
6:20
Speaker 4: it's media. Did I read it?
6:21
Speaker 5: That's just a random word to use for the cash
6:23
Speaker 5: media we're trying to branch out from rand cash.
6:27
Speaker 4: I think they are. I think they've heard a lot
6:29
Speaker 4: about that used in a sentence. Greg Bell and Chuck
6:33
Speaker 4: Powell have spent a combined seventy years in the media,
6:36
Speaker 4: and we didn't think that we would be reduced to
6:38
Speaker 4: having to give cash keywords every hour of our career.
6:41
Speaker 4: And yet here you are, and yet here we are.
6:43
Speaker 4: Greg Bell now joins us on the program. Did you
6:46
Speaker 4: have a good night last night?
6:48
Speaker 7: Yeah? I did. It wasn't as long as some draft nights,
6:52
Speaker 7: although we waited long time, and then when it happened,
6:54
Speaker 7: it was done and done and out the door.
6:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty quick, you know.
6:58
Speaker 4: It's coming across. Like John and Mike were a little
7:01
Speaker 4: subdued in their post round comments yesterday and almost like
7:06
Speaker 4: they were disappointed. So I want to start the conversation
7:10
Speaker 4: by talking about Jedarian Price, Jedarian Price, the player, because
7:14
Speaker 4: I don't think they're disappointed in having Jadarian Price, and
7:17
Speaker 4: I think we should clear that up.
7:20
Speaker 1: They aren't.
7:21
Speaker 7: It's a value proposition and what they were trying to
7:24
Speaker 7: get better value by trading back and still getting them.
7:28
Speaker 7: They could have drafted Price in the second round, maybe
7:32
Speaker 7: as far as seven to ten picks back in the
7:34
Speaker 7: second round, and they tried, and they wanted to, and
7:38
Speaker 7: they thought they had a deal. John Schneider said, I
7:40
Speaker 7: really thought we were moving back. But what happened was
7:45
Speaker 7: they were eight trades all in the first round last night.
7:48
Speaker 7: Six of them happened right under the seahawks nose, right
7:51
Speaker 7: in front of them. Yeah, from twenty to thirty one,
7:54
Speaker 7: six trades the San Francisco forty nine. I don't think
7:58
Speaker 7: it was their first and tent, but they didn't do
8:00
Speaker 7: the Seahawks any favors. They pretty much screwed over their
8:04
Speaker 7: rivals by trading down twice right in front of them.
8:08
Speaker 7: The second time they traded down with the Jets, and
8:11
Speaker 7: the Jets jumped from thirty three to thirty one right
8:14
Speaker 7: in front of the Seahawks, And there went the seahawks
8:18
Speaker 7: last chance to have someone trade into the second round.
8:20
Speaker 7: So John Schneider ran out of trading partners. There weren't
8:25
Speaker 7: any teams that wanted to trade up anymore by the
8:27
Speaker 7: time the Seahawks picked, and that's why they picked price
8:30
Speaker 7: where they did. Then it became a proposition of, well,
8:35
Speaker 7: we don't without trading down. They didn't have a pick
8:39
Speaker 7: higher than sixty four, the last pick of round two today,
8:43
Speaker 7: and the proposition became, can we get price at sixty four?
8:48
Speaker 7: And that became too risky of a proposition for them
8:51
Speaker 7: to take on. They may have been able to, but
8:54
Speaker 7: they also could have lost them, and they are willing
8:57
Speaker 7: to trade up. They don't want it. So far, it
9:00
Speaker 7: appears they don't want to get into their stash of
9:02
Speaker 7: twelve picks in a much stronger draft next year. So
9:06
Speaker 7: that's why they took j Judarian price. You're gonna get that, right, Yeah,
9:11
Speaker 7: it's our Jedarian price where they did. But I think
9:15
Speaker 7: they wanted to do it late. I know they want
9:17
Speaker 7: to do it later with more picks in this year's
9:19
Speaker 7: draft to boot.
9:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I want to spend more time on price.
9:22
Speaker 4: But since we're discussing this, I mean with the two
9:24
Speaker 4: picks today, do you think that they stick and pick
9:28
Speaker 4: at sixty four and ninety six since the value won't
9:31
Speaker 4: be the same and a trade down, or do you
9:33
Speaker 4: believe he's bound to determine to get at least one
9:36
Speaker 4: more pick somewhere in this draft.
9:39
Speaker 7: Well, now it becomes harder because if you trade down
9:42
Speaker 7: this bottom pick of the second round or the bottom
9:44
Speaker 7: pick of the third round, you're talking maybe a sixth
9:46
Speaker 7: or seventh round pick instead of a fourth right, And
9:50
Speaker 7: so that's that's I think they're going to stay put.
9:53
Speaker 7: I think they're going to have it appears four picks
9:56
Speaker 7: in this draft, and it won't because they didn't try it.
9:59
Speaker 4: Greg Bell is whether Seahawks insider, of course, on the
10:02
Speaker 4: beat last night for the News Tribune. You can check
10:05
Speaker 4: out his draft recap of Day number one, round number
10:08
Speaker 4: one of the draft at the News at the News
10:10
Speaker 4: Tribune dot com, and of course follow him. You should
10:13
Speaker 4: be anyway at g Bell Seattle there on x if
10:16
Speaker 4: in fact you are an ex subscriber with us. He's
10:20
Speaker 4: here at seven o five to talk as our Seahawks insider.
10:24
Speaker 4: All right, so let's talk about price. I mean, did
10:27
Speaker 4: they draft RB one last night? Is that the way
10:31
Speaker 4: that you see it at this stage or somebody that's
10:34
Speaker 4: going to have to earn that.
10:37
Speaker 7: Well, of course you'll have to earn it. But yes,
10:39
Speaker 7: they did draft him with the intention of him starting
10:42
Speaker 7: not just this year but eventually. And it's now a
10:47
Speaker 7: head against the recovery of Zach Charmine. If Sharmonick comes back,
10:50
Speaker 7: even if it's in April and or excuse me, October November,
10:55
Speaker 7: if he comes back looking like he was, it's a big,
10:59
Speaker 7: if reconstructive knee surgery eight nine, ten months out. But
11:03
Speaker 7: if he looks like he was before, then they could
11:06
Speaker 7: possibly resign him and no team will know him, and
11:10
Speaker 7: he won't know any other team and wouldn't want to
11:12
Speaker 7: go anywhere else then Seattle, and then you have a
11:16
Speaker 7: two headed consortium of dual job sharebacks like you did
11:22
Speaker 7: this past season that worked out pretty well for the
11:24
Speaker 7: Seahawks offense. So yeah, you don't take a guy in
11:27
Speaker 7: the first round, or if he had traded back with
11:30
Speaker 7: your first pick, and don't think he's the integral piece
11:34
Speaker 7: for three or four years down the road. I would
11:37
Speaker 7: be very surprised if he wasn't of ten, twelve to
11:41
Speaker 7: fifteen carry back this very first year.
11:45
Speaker 4: So is it as simple as he's walker in the interim?
11:50
Speaker 4: Emmanuel Wilson is charbonnet until he's healthy, and then Halani
11:55
Speaker 4: is third down back. I mean, is is that the
11:58
Speaker 4: way the depth chart kind of looked in your eyes?
12:02
Speaker 7: I'm not sure because I haven't seen myself Emmanuel Wilson
12:06
Speaker 7: in this offense, and I think he Wilson is going
12:09
Speaker 7: to have to earn his place among some incumbents and
12:15
Speaker 7: Kenny McIntosh is still in their plans. We'll see, but
12:19
Speaker 7: they have yet to see why they drafted McIntosh in
12:22
Speaker 7: the seventh round three years ago because of all the
12:23
Speaker 7: injuries he's had. That knee injury, McIntosh was in July
12:27
Speaker 7: early in training camp, so twelve months at a different
12:30
Speaker 7: proposition than Sharboner. His twelve month window for recovery will
12:34
Speaker 7: end with the start of training camp. He may not
12:37
Speaker 7: be on the field for the start of it, ramping
12:39
Speaker 7: up up lists probably, but he'll be months ahead of Sharboner,
12:44
Speaker 7: so they'll have months to know whether he can be the.
12:47
Speaker 1: Guy or a state guy.
12:50
Speaker 7: But they're going to go multiple Hallani impressed them late
12:54
Speaker 7: last season in the playoffs, the NFC title game especially,
12:58
Speaker 7: and he will get it a long look as well.
13:01
Speaker 7: He's a great third down back because his pass blocking.
13:05
Speaker 7: Price last night admitted that he's going to do more
13:08
Speaker 7: pass catching and the Seahawks have already talked about that.
13:11
Speaker 7: The Seahawks Mike McDonald said the new running back coach,
13:15
Speaker 7: Thomas Hammock, is already talking about ball security.
13:18
Speaker 1: With four fumbles at Notre Dame the last.
13:21
Speaker 7: Couple of years and limited Terry's he only had two
13:23
Speaker 7: hundred and eighty snaps in college over his time there,
13:27
Speaker 7: but he stayed backup to Jeremiah Love the entire time
13:32
Speaker 7: at Notre Dame. He spoke about last night staying at
13:35
Speaker 7: Notre Dame and how he wanted to be there and
13:38
Speaker 7: take on the challenge of being the backup to the
13:41
Speaker 7: best player in the country, as he put it, and
13:43
Speaker 7: Mike McDonald said that ran big with the Seahawks, the
13:47
Speaker 7: fact his loyalty, and we talked about this, the loyalty,
13:50
Speaker 7: the stick to it, and it's the determination of now
13:53
Speaker 7: I'm not going to go chase a money bag and
13:56
Speaker 7: transfer somewhere to get playing time. I'm going to stay here.
13:59
Speaker 7: And McDonald's said that had a real factor in the
14:01
Speaker 7: Seahawks wanting him to add to their culture in the
14:04
Speaker 7: locker room. But the football wise, two hundred and three
14:09
Speaker 7: pounds is what he weighed at the combine. He said
14:12
Speaker 7: that was light. He said he was nervous in training
14:14
Speaker 7: a lot, and he was about seven pounds lighter than
14:16
Speaker 7: he played at Notre Dame last year and he wants
14:19
Speaker 7: to be about to ten. McDonald said the same thing
14:22
Speaker 7: that they scouts found him lighter at the combine and
14:24
Speaker 7: they scouted him at Notre Dame. He can be a
14:27
Speaker 7: kick returner, and McDonald said he will get a chance
14:30
Speaker 7: to do that. Of course, rashidsha he's going to get
14:33
Speaker 7: paid seventeen million dollars to be the Pro Bowl kick
14:35
Speaker 7: returner of this team as well. But suffice to say
14:40
Speaker 7: that there are a couple roles pass catching, kick returning,
14:44
Speaker 7: running the ball. And the main thing for Price that
14:48
Speaker 7: attracted him to Seattle for the coach's staff was outside zone.
14:52
Speaker 7: He's a one cut, decisive up the field guy, he says.
14:56
Speaker 7: Outside zone is his bread and butter. That's exactly now
14:59
Speaker 7: what Seattle was based upon. They thought he was the
15:02
Speaker 7: running back to fit that system.
15:04
Speaker 4: Well, I know you love your human interest elements of
15:07
Speaker 4: this draft weekend. You didn't get a lot of time
15:11
Speaker 4: with Jadarian Price last night, but you shared a phone
15:15
Speaker 4: call with the rest of your Seattle media hoard mates,
15:20
Speaker 4: and so what did you come away with? What about
15:23
Speaker 4: him personally stood out to you?
15:25
Speaker 7: Well you could hear in his voice when John Schneider
15:28
Speaker 7: called that he immediately broke down crying. He had his family,
15:31
Speaker 7: his high school teammates in Dennis and Texas with him,
15:35
Speaker 7: and his mother is hugely instrumental in his life. His
15:39
Speaker 7: mother's a single mom, had him when she was seventeen
15:42
Speaker 7: years old, and then the father left the picture soon
15:45
Speaker 7: after that. And then when he was Price was twelve
15:49
Speaker 7: years old with young sisters ten and six years old,
15:53
Speaker 7: Price's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and while grandfathers
15:59
Speaker 7: and uncle took his mom to sixteen rounds of chemotherapy,
16:05
Speaker 7: the twelve year old Jarian Price took care of his
16:08
Speaker 7: younger sisters, cooked for him, tended to him. While a
16:12
Speaker 7: middle schooler and going into high school, that is unusual,
16:18
Speaker 7: and Mike McDonald talked about that. I asked him specifically
16:22
Speaker 7: about that, and he said, when you get through that,
16:26
Speaker 7: it changes a person and it resonates and it tells
16:30
Speaker 7: you a lot about the man. And he grew up fast.
16:35
Speaker 7: And then when I asked Price about it, he said,
16:38
Speaker 7: my mom's my everything. He basically said, she's his rock
16:43
Speaker 7: and she has inspired him that if I think it's
16:47
Speaker 7: a bad day or I'm not getting the carries I
16:49
Speaker 7: thought out of the reps, I thought I was going
16:51
Speaker 7: to get a Notre dame that isn't even close remotely
16:54
Speaker 7: to a bed day compared to what I watched my
16:56
Speaker 7: mom go through. When I wasn't even in high school yet.
17:00
Speaker 7: And that's the kind of things that the Seahawks they
17:04
Speaker 7: really dive into. I talk about the culture, how the
17:07
Speaker 7: trick for this draft is to get guys to fit
17:10
Speaker 7: into what Mike McDonald wants personality and makeup wise in
17:13
Speaker 7: the locker room. And Jedarian Price has that. I posted
17:18
Speaker 7: the story at the Newstribune dot com this morning specifically
17:20
Speaker 7: about his mother and the inspiration that she is. And yeah,
17:25
Speaker 7: there's a pretty good chance Jedarian Price's mom is going
17:29
Speaker 7: to be at Lehmanfield in September ninth for that first game.
17:33
Speaker 4: All right, well, we still got six rounds to go. Obviously,
17:37
Speaker 4: are on the clock for two picks tonight, sixty fourth
17:40
Speaker 4: and ninety six. What do we expect? We've checked the
17:45
Speaker 4: running back box. What else gets checked this evening?
17:48
Speaker 1: Yeah?
17:49
Speaker 7: I think cornerback ed rusher the next two priorities and
17:53
Speaker 7: depth on the offensive defensive lines. I still like Brandon
17:58
Speaker 7: Ceci the way the cornerbacks have and down and only
18:01
Speaker 7: one top one of the first I think it was
18:03
Speaker 7: the entire first round.
18:04
Speaker 1: Only one of the top corners have gone down.
18:07
Speaker 7: Colton Hood is still out there. Maud McCoy with the
18:10
Speaker 7: knee injury concerns had him drop. He's a for top
18:13
Speaker 7: twelve talent, most people think. So the corners are going
18:16
Speaker 7: to keep pushing down, I think, which lends them to
18:19
Speaker 7: Brandon Zezi from South Carolina at her around sixty four.
18:23
Speaker 7: They'd really feel pretty happy. I think if it comes
18:27
Speaker 7: to that, look for them to go defensive tackle, offensive
18:31
Speaker 7: guard eventually to backfill those interior line of scrimmage positions.
18:38
Speaker 7: The Edgreshers, he just can't get enough of those guys,
18:40
Speaker 7: and they're just did draft is really deep in them.
18:44
Speaker 7: I would expect that to be in play as well. Again,
18:48
Speaker 7: the trade thing really tough where they are at the
18:50
Speaker 7: bottom of each of those rounds.
18:51
Speaker 4: Yeah. By the way, do you want to interview Ashley
18:55
Speaker 4: for nailing the NFL draft in our little draft that
18:58
Speaker 4: we did yesterday at nine o'clock.
19:00
Speaker 3: Do you have any questions?
19:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, all questions for her. She goes, well, she was
19:03
Speaker 4: three for four, but really three for three because of
19:06
Speaker 4: her gameplay.
19:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's right. She had the two for go.
19:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, she had the two for going, and then she
19:12
Speaker 4: got Omar Cooper to the Jets and she nailed Jadarian
19:15
Speaker 4: Price to the Seahawks. So anyway, she's available for interviews
19:18
Speaker 4: for the News Tribute if I.
19:19
Speaker 1: Want to do that.
19:20
Speaker 7: If she if Ashley, if you wear a Christmas tree,
19:24
Speaker 7: you probably deserve all the credit and all the praise
19:27
Speaker 7: you can possibly get. You're definitely hearn that.
19:31
Speaker 3: I'll take it.
19:33
Speaker 7: Welcome, well done man, all right, well.

20:00
Speaker 4: a complete draft show today.
20:03
Speaker 7: Almost complete draft show. Yeah, that's lots to talk about.
20:07
Speaker 7: I cannot believe that Sean McVay whole Sea great.
20:14
Speaker 4: I mean it's not great, it's not great for ty Simpson,
20:17
Speaker 4: but it is so obvious how pissed he is about that.
20:20
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, you've never met him, you never met
20:23
Speaker 8: him on the Ross Tucker reported last night that ty
20:26
Speaker 8: Sipson has never met Sean McVay the thirteenth pick in
20:30
Speaker 8: the draft.
20:31
Speaker 4: Real, real, oh man, that's that's the story that you.
20:38
Speaker 7: Don't take away, they away, they away quarterback at thirteen
20:42
Speaker 7: when you're you're.
20:43
Speaker 1: Trying to go for it.
20:44

Speaker 4: Sean mcvay's back. And that's the way it's coming off.
21:39
Speaker 4: It came off last night in the press conferences, and
21:41
Speaker 4: it's coming off this morning, people are running with it
21:44
Speaker 4: everywhere that he is flat out furious about this selection

21:55

Speaker 4: or three to say about that. But coming up next, Hey,
22:03
Speaker 4: We've put a lot of time into this thing, so
22:06
Speaker 4: there's a lot of other elements that I want to
22:08
Speaker 4: get to about last night's draft. So why not start
22:12
Speaker 4: our first ever post draft miss Award show, The Draftees
22:17
Speaker 4: Come your Way next on Sports Radio ninety three point
22:19
Speaker 4: three KJRFF. We let the NFL have its moment in
22:22
Speaker 4: the sun now.
22:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, And people might be wondering why the decorations are
22:25
Speaker 5: still up. But you don't take decorations down on Christmas Day.
22:29
Speaker 4: Oh you don't, Chris, or even the day after you
22:32
Speaker 4: give it.
22:32
Speaker 1: Up a year.
22:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you gotta at least go through the draft.
22:34
Speaker 4: You go through the draft with the Christmas tree, for sure.
22:38
Speaker 4: But I'm always trying to think of ways to make
22:40
Speaker 4: our draftnas celebration a little bit better and think about Christmas.
22:43
Speaker 4: Christmas is great, but we get tired by the end
22:46
Speaker 4: of it, and so when we're done with Christmas and
22:48
Speaker 4: all the parties and the holidays, we tend to just
22:51
Speaker 4: kind of relax for a couple of days. Really, maybe
22:54
Speaker 4: there are those that get encouraged to go out and
22:57
Speaker 4: try to take advantage of deals or returns or exchanges.
23:01
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not one of those people. I
23:03
Speaker 4: just kind of want to chill at home and hopefully
23:06
Speaker 4: there's a good sporting eventer of twelve on that I
23:09
Speaker 4: can sink my teeth into. But never, never, in my
23:11
Speaker 4: entire life I'm fifty four years old, as a kid,
23:14
Speaker 4: as an adult in relationships outside of relationships, have I
23:18
Speaker 4: ever experienced someone getting done with Christmas and then deciding
23:23
Speaker 4: to have an award show the end of it, and
23:27
Speaker 4: you know, maybe give out who gave me the best
23:29
Speaker 4: gift award to mom? Yeah? Or who made the best
23:34
Speaker 4: food that I had over the course of the holiday weekend?
23:38
Speaker 3: Oh aunt Shirley, Yeah, the gift awards?
23:41
Speaker 4: Is that right? So I don't know. Maybe it's something
23:44
Speaker 4: that Christmas ought to do.
23:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
23:46
Speaker 4: So we get done with our Christmas holidays with our
23:49
Speaker 4: families and then we have an award show and then
23:52
Speaker 4: we just acknowledge who was really good at Christmas and
23:55
Speaker 4: who was a wet blanket.
23:57
Speaker 5: I think that's a great idea, honestly, not terrible. I
24:00
Speaker 5: think we should at least ponder incorporating this. And yes,
24:03
Speaker 5: some people's feelings are gonna get hurt. Isn't that what
24:05
Speaker 5: the holidays are all about.
24:06
Speaker 4: All at Christmas and Santa and Jesus and all of
24:10
Speaker 4: the pr people that work on that project. I'll let
24:13
Speaker 4: you figure that out, but I am sure. I am
24:16
Speaker 4: the CEO of Draftmas. Yeah, and I have decided we're
24:20
Speaker 4: going to have an award show after Draftmas. So here
24:23
Speaker 4: we go. Let's hand out some awards from last night
24:27
Speaker 4: that I think are worthy of acknowledgment. I think your
24:32
Speaker 4: cheating award goes to the NFL network. Now I only
24:37
Speaker 4: watch the NFL network. I did not watch ESPNS because
24:40
Speaker 4: there are a few people at DESPN. I can't stomach
24:42
Speaker 4: for four hours, and so I watched NFL network. I
24:45
Speaker 4: typically do, I watch their coverage, and then I listened
24:48
Speaker 4: to two hours, and I did. I listened two hours
24:50
Speaker 4: as well. And so as I'm watching the coverage, the
24:56
Speaker 4: picks are starting to stockpile, and it's very, very clear
25:01
Speaker 4: that they you know, there was this big thing from
25:04
Speaker 4: the NFL. Do not reveal the picks before you have
25:07
Speaker 4: the picks. It's not fair. The audience doesn't want that.
25:10
Speaker 4: They hate it. So Adam Schefter, stop revealing the picks
25:13
Speaker 4: before the picks are made. We all want that. Well,
25:17
Speaker 4: for a couple of years they were on their best behavior.
25:22
Speaker 4: I don't know what happened to ESPN, but at the
25:25
Speaker 4: NFL network, these sneaky sons of guns knew the picks.
25:29
Speaker 4: And then we're trying to play it off like I
25:32
Speaker 4: think this would be a good pick. Here, Oh my gosh,
25:34
Speaker 4: that's the pick.
25:35
Speaker 3: Oh, so they'd look really smart.
25:37
Speaker 4: Right, And it was the only thing about the entire
25:41
Speaker 4: night that I was pissed off about. I'm like, stop
25:45
Speaker 4: trying to play this off like you don't already know
25:48
Speaker 4: what the pick is, because you are. I don't care
25:50
Speaker 4: if you think that you deserve a pat on the back.
25:53
Speaker 4: What I care about is you're ruining the pick right
25:57
Speaker 4: for me, right by telling me announce it. Yes, that's
26:01
Speaker 4: how we want to find out, no other way. Yeah,
26:04
Speaker 4: all right, so they won the first ever I think
26:06
Speaker 4: you're cheating award in the draftees, the first ever I
26:09
Speaker 4: Know Your Cheating Award, Mike Brady.
26:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay.
26:12
Speaker 5: When you said I think you're cheating, I was like,
26:14
Speaker 5: how's Brabal not winning this?
26:15
Speaker 3: But now it makes sense Now I get it.
26:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know you're cheating. So here's your trophy.
26:20
Speaker 9: Yeah, congrats, congratulations. The best drafty drama. I thought at
26:27
Speaker 9: the moment it was Mackai Lemon, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh's love trying.
26:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, but obviously the Rams have to win it. Now.
26:37
Speaker 4: The ty Simpson selection, which we'll talk more about later
26:40
Speaker 4: on in the show, but just quick recap. They took
26:44
Speaker 4: ty Simpson shocked everybody. It was the wow moment last
26:46
Speaker 4: night with the thirteenth overall pick in the draft. Sean
26:50
Speaker 4: McVay has never spoken to ty Simpson. That's the report
26:54
Speaker 4: from Greg. Sean McVay never did any research on ty Simpson.
27:00
Speaker 4: Sean McVay was no part of the ty Simpson decision
27:02
Speaker 4: last night and was clearly very angry last night. So
27:06
Speaker 4: there is some drum going on with the Rams, and
27:10
Speaker 4: I think if there's a power struggle, I think Sean
27:13
Speaker 4: McVay is winning that one. It's not gonna be the
27:15
Speaker 4: GM this time. I think it's Sean McVay that wins
27:17
Speaker 4: that one.
27:18
Speaker 3: I can't wait to watch it all in fuld.
27:19
Speaker 4: Oh, it's gonna be great now. It was almost the
27:22
Speaker 4: award almost went to McKay lemon because apparently McKay lemon,
27:25
Speaker 4: who was falling because he's a third, Right, he's on
27:30
Speaker 4: the phone with Pittsburgh, who's picking at twenty one. Well,
27:34
Speaker 4: there's a team twenty is on the clock, and that
27:38
Speaker 4: was Dallas. Well here's Pittsburgh thinking, there's no way Dallas
27:42
Speaker 4: is trading with Philadelphia. We're gonna get our guy here,
27:45
Speaker 4: and they're not taking a wide receiver. They've got pickings
27:47
Speaker 4: and lamb, there's no way they're taking a wide receiver.
27:51
Speaker 4: So Pittsburgh's already calling Lemon to tell them we're gonna
27:55
Speaker 4: take you at twenty one. Meanwhile, they don't even realize
27:59
Speaker 4: Philadelphia yea and Dallas have pulled off a trade. And
28:02
Speaker 4: so Philadelphia gets up to twenty steals Lemon out from
28:06
Speaker 4: underneath Pittsburgh. Well, Pittsburgh's on the phone with Lemon telling
28:10
Speaker 4: him they're gonna take him.
28:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I would have loved to have been
28:14
Speaker 5: a fly on the wall in the Pittsburgh room as
28:16
Speaker 5: that all unfolded.
28:17
Speaker 3: That's for sure.
28:17
Speaker 4: That's great draft stuff.
28:19
Speaker 3: It really is.
28:19
Speaker 5: But also I think Pittsburgh probably dodged a bullet there
28:22
Speaker 5: because you can't have two turds on one team. And
28:26
Speaker 5: well and DK Metcalf can be enough of a tour O.
28:30
Speaker 4: No, i'd make it. I don't know if i'd call
28:32
Speaker 4: him at turnh.
28:32
Speaker 5: I mean in his antics was his in game antics.
28:37
Speaker 5: So you don't want well, I guess you don't want
28:39
Speaker 5: someone who could be a turd on the field, and
28:40
Speaker 5: then someone who's the turd all the time too much,
28:43
Speaker 5: and then and then yeah, you potentially have Aaron Rodgers too.
28:47
Speaker 1: Yeah.
28:47
Speaker 4: Well, of all the teams to trade up for a turd, Philadelphia,
28:51
Speaker 4: they are third collectors.
28:52
Speaker 3: Good work, all right.
28:53
Speaker 4: The best celebration last night, because I am That's another
28:57
Speaker 4: thing I love about the draft is watching the reaction
29:00
Speaker 4: and seeing how players react to this moment, their dreams
29:03
Speaker 4: coming true. I thought the best celebration was the Peter
29:07
Speaker 4: Woods family. I don't know if you saw this one
29:09
Speaker 4: or not, but the entire they show He's at home
29:12
Speaker 4: with his entire family, and the entire family is all
29:15
Speaker 4: the all the ladies are dressed in white and and
29:20
Speaker 4: well everybody the men were too. Men were in white suits.
29:23
Speaker 4: All the ladies were in these nice white not necessarily dresses,
29:28
Speaker 4: but a white all white outfits. And then Peter Wood
29:31
Speaker 4: has this outstanding like emerald green suit. So he stands
29:36
Speaker 4: out in the middle.
29:37
Speaker 1: Of the room.
29:38
Speaker 3: Genius idea and just awesome.
29:41
Speaker 4: And then they did it at home, so he's got
29:43
Speaker 4: it so he can invite as many people loved ones
29:46
Speaker 4: as he want. And then he stands up and he
29:49
Speaker 4: does the punching back and forth with his dad so
29:52
Speaker 4: you can tell their best friends and that's his best
29:54
Speaker 4: guy that got him here and there. So they're celebrating,
29:57
Speaker 4: and then he turns around to his mom and just
29:59
Speaker 4: complete changes his mood and just hugs her just tenderly
30:03
Speaker 4: and gingerly. It was outstanding.
30:06
Speaker 5: You can tell his mom is the boss of that
30:09
Speaker 5: house for sure because of the way like his dad
30:11
Speaker 5: and him played around.
30:12
Speaker 3: And then it was like thanks mom.
30:14
Speaker 4: That was great. Now the best mom hug, which is
30:17
Speaker 4: an award I'm going to give. Okay, was a key
30:19
Speaker 4: Mesidor because he and his mom that you could tell
30:23
Speaker 4: they've been through some stuff together and that was just like,
30:26
Speaker 4: there's nobody else in the room. Yeah, it was just
30:29
Speaker 4: melting into one another and sharing that moment. He wasn't
30:32
Speaker 4: turning to his girlfriend first, he wasn't turn into anybody.
30:36
Speaker 4: It was mom and son at this moment, and it
30:40
Speaker 4: was awesome. It brought a tear to your eye. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
30:43
Speaker 4: The best walk was Keldric Falk of the Tennessee Titans,
30:46
Speaker 4: because in his walk from the green room to the stage,
30:49
Speaker 4: I think he experienced thirty eight different emotions.
30:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, every step all of a sudden.
30:55
Speaker 4: He was celebrating at one point was it was couldn't
30:58
Speaker 4: believe it. At one point you just see his face
31:01
Speaker 4: changing every three steps. And then by the time he
31:03
Speaker 4: got to Roger Goodell, he'd convinced himself that he was excited.
31:07
Speaker 4: He hugs Goodell and starts crying.
31:10
Speaker 5: I mean, but that's real, right, because it is such
31:12
Speaker 5: a life changing moment. You're watching this kid's life, all
31:16
Speaker 5: the things he thought that he would think, you know
31:19
Speaker 5: that he would go through. You don't have a clue
31:21
Speaker 5: till you actually go in that moment and realize how
31:24
Speaker 5: absolutely insanely huge it is, and you got to see
31:28
Speaker 5: it all happen in real time.
31:29
Speaker 4: Now it wasn't my tears award though. Best Tears award
31:32
Speaker 4: goes to Jordan Tyson, who went to the Saints out
31:34
Speaker 4: of Arizona State, because those were real because when he
31:39
Speaker 4: got drafted, he was trying to play cool guy, tough guy.
31:42
Speaker 4: He was dressed like an la Valet for some reason.
31:46
Speaker 4: But he's he started he was like playing it off
31:49
Speaker 4: like he's so cool. And then when he got away
31:51
Speaker 4: from friends and family and he got halfway down the hallway,
31:54
Speaker 4: it dawned on him. Oh my gosh, my dream just
31:57
Speaker 4: came true. I just got taken eighth with the NFL draft.
32:00
Speaker 4: And he just started.
32:01
Speaker 3: Bawling That's what I would do, and he just.
32:04
Speaker 4: Kind and at one point he had to stop and collapse,
32:06
Speaker 4: and he tried to get himself together in front of
32:08
Speaker 4: the mirror and did to a degree, and then he
32:11
Speaker 4: tried just to act tough again. And then he was
32:13
Speaker 4: going to try to act like it, you know, like
32:15
Speaker 4: he owned the moment and he went out there and
32:17
Speaker 4: he was gonna be tough. And then he saw Roger
32:19
Speaker 4: Goodell and he melted down again. He might not have
32:23
Speaker 4: wanted it to go that way, but I loved it
32:25
Speaker 4: because to me, that's one of the reasons I'm a
32:27
Speaker 4: big draft fan. It's watching all how often do you
32:30
Speaker 4: get to see somebody actually hear their dream come true
32:33
Speaker 4: and experience that moment, And I love it. I'm there
32:37
Speaker 4: for the water works and I got it from him.
32:40
Speaker 4: The Angry Smurf award goes to Reuben Bain Junior, though
32:44
Speaker 4: I get it a little bit and I don't think
32:46
Speaker 4: he was obnoxious about it. But dude, you got taken
32:49
Speaker 4: in the fifteenth pick in the draft, and you got
32:52
Speaker 4: in a great situation with Tampa Bay and Todd Bowles
32:55
Speaker 4: on a team that's probably going to be pretty good.
32:57
Speaker 2: Now.
32:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, don't be angry about it just because a
32:59
Speaker 4: few other guys went ahead of you. You're still a
33:02
Speaker 4: first round pick. You were still comfortably a first round pick,
33:05
Speaker 4: and you also are landing in a really good situation.
33:09
Speaker 4: So stop stop worrying about whether or not history remembers
33:13
Speaker 4: you as a top five pick.
33:14
Speaker 5: I think it's absurd when anybody who's drafted in the
33:16
Speaker 5: first round gets angry about being drafted in the first round.
33:20
Speaker 3: Best Reporter Laura Rutland.
33:22
Speaker 4: She is fantastic at her job and didn't have to
33:26
Speaker 4: sleep with one head coach to get the information that
33:28
Speaker 4: she had, Like, yeah, she is really great, She's awesome. Yeah,
33:31
Speaker 4: she can host, she can do anything, she.
33:34
Speaker 3: Can do everything.
33:35
Speaker 5: She's so personable to say, she delivers it, not like
33:38
Speaker 5: she's it's not the.
33:39
Speaker 4: Same damn tired question to every there's a unique question
33:42
Speaker 4: to every single person that she interviews. She was fantastic,
33:46
Speaker 4: She is fantastic. She's just one of my favorite people
33:49
Speaker 4: in the business. And then finally, the Best Draft Expert Award, Well,
33:55
Speaker 4: there are a lot of people vying for this. Congratulations
33:59
Speaker 4: Daniel Jerald. You finished fourth.
34:01
Speaker 3: Okay, good work.
34:03
Speaker 4: You got eight picks out of thirty two, not as
34:06
Speaker 4: many as I got. I got nine out of thirty two.
34:12
Speaker 4: Rob Rang got nine and a half because I'm going
34:16
Speaker 4: to give him a half because he got nine right
34:19
Speaker 4: in the first round and he had Omar Cooper Junior
34:22
Speaker 4: going to the Jets at thirty three, so he got
34:25
Speaker 4: the right team and he was only three off. So
34:27
Speaker 4: I'm going to give him at least a half for
34:30
Speaker 4: that one. But of course, the Best Draft Expert Award
34:33
Speaker 4: has to go to Ashley, who got all of the
34:36
Speaker 4: picks right, every single one. Of them, I just want
34:39
Speaker 4: to say, thirty two out of thirty two, I.
34:41
Speaker 5: Just want to say thank you to the Draft out
34:44
Speaker 5: like it, to the Draftmas catalog.
34:46
Speaker 4: It felt like you got them, all right, I'll tell
34:48
Speaker 4: you that much. Damn Green Jacket Winner.
34:50
Speaker 5: Without that Draftmas Catalog this year, I don't think that
34:53
Speaker 5: I would be where I am today.
34:55
Speaker 4: All Right, ABC's of the ms. We're gonna sneak those
34:57
Speaker 4: in before we bring the oho aboard it eight o'clock
35:00
Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. No matter what
35:03
Speaker 4: else is going on, we do it every day, not
35:07
Speaker 4: into false advertising. So let's get it going and we
35:11
Speaker 4: get to start over with the alphabet here on a Friday.
35:14
Speaker 4: As for Andres and I don't know how many people
35:20
Speaker 4: are worked up about this, but I'm seeing way too
35:22
Speaker 4: much Andre's Munno's hate on Twitter. You've got to be
35:26
Speaker 4: kidding me.
35:27
Speaker 5: Did you see someone told Ryan Dimish that he should
35:29
Speaker 5: be DFAD.
35:30
Speaker 1: Yeah?
35:31
Speaker 4: I saw that. I really and I don't want to
35:33
Speaker 4: get too much power to that kind of thought. I mean,
35:36
Speaker 4: we have to realize that there's always going to be
35:38
Speaker 4: somebody that is just out of their mind in any
35:40
Speaker 4: conversation that you're going to have, but I'm seeing way
35:43
Speaker 4: too much of it. I get that he's struggling. He's
35:45
Speaker 4: admitting he's struggling out of the gates, but he really
35:49
Speaker 4: has only had one terrible outing and one bad outing
35:53
Speaker 4: and the rest of the time he's been pretty good.
35:55
Speaker 4: Don't hold it against him that one of the best
35:57
Speaker 4: young power hitters in the game, who was absolutely locked
36:00
Speaker 4: in right now, Nick Kurtz, took him deep to tie
36:02
Speaker 4: the game up. I mean, that's going to happen every
36:05
Speaker 4: once in a while against the best in the game.
36:08
Speaker 4: So he's not been as effective. He knows it. But
36:11
Speaker 4: the era this early in the season doesn't matter, because
36:15
Speaker 4: you give up five runs and two thirds of an inning,
36:17
Speaker 4: and it's gonna make it look far worse than it
36:19
Speaker 4: actually is. He actually is averaging just about two strikeouts
36:24
Speaker 4: per inning. His fastball velocity is just about the same.
36:27
Speaker 4: Looks like he's added a two seemer this year. That
36:30
Speaker 4: is absolutely wicked. He's just got to get the feel
36:33
Speaker 4: back to his slider, and right now he's working on that.
36:37
Speaker 4: That can happen overnight when you've already had a great
36:40
Speaker 4: slider for the last few years. This was not just
36:43
Speaker 4: a good closer in baseball. The last couple of seasons,
36:46
Speaker 4: he's been elite and he is going to be just fine.
36:51
Speaker 4: So chill out on Mooney, Calm down, people. Yes, B
36:55
Speaker 4: is for breaking out, and we are all waiting for
37:00
Speaker 4: Big three to break out, and maybe now we have
37:03
Speaker 4: signs of that happening. They were eight eight for fifteen
37:07
Speaker 4: as a cluster and that third game of the A's series,
37:11
Speaker 4: and so that's three dudes all getting multiple hits in
37:15
Speaker 4: the same game. I think Julio's certainly been hitting the
37:18
Speaker 4: ball more solidly, more consistently. Josh and Cal have worked
37:23
Speaker 4: their batting averages up to nearly two hundred, and nobody's
37:27
Speaker 4: satisfied before. Somebody says it on the text line with
37:30
Speaker 4: him hitting two hundred, but you got to get to
37:32
Speaker 4: two hundred before you can get to two fifty, before
37:34
Speaker 4: you can get to two seventy five. So after their
37:37
Speaker 4: cold start as a trio, it does for the first
37:41
Speaker 4: time kind of feel like all of them are seeing
37:44
Speaker 4: the ball right now. So hopefully in Saint Louis we're
37:47
Speaker 4: going to experience the breakout of our Big three. C
37:54
Speaker 4: IS four Cardinals. That's the opponent, the Saint Louis Cardinals
37:59
Speaker 4: interest team so far this season, Like every team in
38:02
Speaker 4: the National League Central right now, they all have winning
38:05
Speaker 4: records right now. That was not supposed to happen. The
38:08
Speaker 4: Saint Louis Cardinals are not supposed to be good this year.
38:10
Speaker 4: They don't even they don't even think they're supposed to
38:14
Speaker 4: be good. They're supposed to be and this rarely happens
38:17
Speaker 4: for a great organization. But they've kind of mismanaged some
38:22
Speaker 4: things lately. They just spent about a decade just drafting
38:25
Speaker 4: a bunch of softball players rather than athletes, and it
38:28
Speaker 4: came back to bite them, and so they've been struggling
38:31
Speaker 4: a little bit around five hundred, little bit below five
38:33
Speaker 4: hundred the last couple of seasons. It's not something that
38:37
Speaker 4: Cardinal Baseball, Cardinal Baseball fans are used to, so they
38:40
Speaker 4: sort of gave in, got a new general manager, and
38:43
Speaker 4: this was supposed to be, let's go with the young guys,
38:45
Speaker 4: let's get rid of aroonato, let's rebuild this thing, which
38:48
Speaker 4: they rarely do in Saint Louis, And instead they're fourteen
38:51
Speaker 4: to ten right now. Meanwhile, the team that is the
38:54
Speaker 4: defending American League West champs and are supposed to win
38:57
Speaker 4: the American League this year. We're eleven in fifteen right
38:59
Speaker 4: now now, so pretty much if you flip those records,
39:02
Speaker 4: that's what you would have expected at this point in
39:05
Speaker 4: the season. So they're not as good as their record indicates,
39:09
Speaker 4: and we're not as bad as our record indications.
39:11
Speaker 3: Hopefully we can flip that this weekend.
39:13
Speaker 4: Then I will say this though, this Jordan Walker, who's
39:16
Speaker 4: been a top prospect for them for years and has
39:18
Speaker 4: really struggled his first two years in the bigs, looks
39:20
Speaker 4: like he's figured some stuff out. And he's six six,
39:23
Speaker 4: about two forty and he can hit, so he looks
39:26
Speaker 4: like he's figured something out. And treat yeah, something to
39:29
Speaker 4: be concerned about. And then just quickly dias for Donovan
39:32
Speaker 4: because it stinks that Brendan Donovan, who is beloved in
39:36
Speaker 4: this city, doesn't get to return home as a part
39:39
Speaker 4: of the Mariners and you know, wave to them and
39:41
Speaker 4: remind him that he gets his uniform dirty by the
39:44
Speaker 4: second inning every game. They love him here. I know
39:46
Speaker 4: he wanted to go back on this trip and be
39:49
Speaker 4: a part of this team.
39:50
Speaker 3: He might be on the track, still take him on
39:52
Speaker 3: the track.
39:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he might get acknowledged, but you know, he
39:55
Speaker 4: wanted to play in this series.
39:56
Speaker 3: I hope that he's at least there though.
39:58
Speaker 4: All right, O Joe's next PLA your Cash contest word
