• 2:05
  Speaker 1: ten o'clock and we're gonna be talking a little more
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: football here than we have the last few shows, as
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we've got one wonderful guest and then one wonderful regular
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: joining us today on the radio show, which we'll tell
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you about in the moment with what is on tap
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, before we get into our top topic
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the day, was it just me or have people
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: just decided that Memorial Day, Like a three day weekend
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is not enough to celebrate Memorial Day. I swear I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: drove home yesterday at my normal time on a Tuesday,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and there was a third of the traffic, a third
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of the traffic on the roadways. I mean, has Memorial Day.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And nobody gave me the memo, Like they didn't let
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: me in, Like nobody whispered it in my ear. Hey,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you know you can take six days off here, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: mean a six day weekend. It's it's not three anymore
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: if you take out Friday and then you got Monday
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: off automatically, and then of course you need a two
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: day Tuesday cushion day. And I don't even know if
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'd go to work on Wednesday if I were you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, has it turned into a six day holiday?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And nobody made me aware.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: I think people are getting smarter with their vacation days,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: so when there's a built in holiday, they're like, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: know what, I'm gonna add one on in the front
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: and one on the back. And plus, if you're driving
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: somewhere around here, it's a pain in the butt to
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: get back on Monday. So I think they're just smarter, okay,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: And so they're taking long because I mean our coworkers
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: that other one of those other shows over there, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: were gone last Thursday and Friday and yesterday, and I
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: think they're back to yeah, and they're back today.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I suppose. I mean, if you're taking your vacation days
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as well, kind of feels to me like, h well,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you know, laziness. No, not necessarily lazyiness, but a three
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: day week I mean, they can't expect me to get
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: ready for work after a three day weekend. I'm gonna
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: take a four uh, and then like you know what Fridays.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be a three day weekend and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: n nobody's gonna be in the mind of set to work.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna take Friday off too, So
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a four day five that now we're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: turning it into a five day weekend because I can't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: possibly be expected to be ready to go back to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: work after a four day weekend. And then it's when
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's Thursday before a five day weekend, so I'm gonna
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: take a long lunch and maybe not go back and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just get that five day weekend. That's kind of how
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it feels to me like jealous of that. I don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: even think they're taking days off. I think people have
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: just decided, you know what, work, screw you. I'm gonna
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: go ahead and just I'll be making it back in
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: when I pretty much damn well feel like it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I think you're probably right. And now it's more like
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: i'll decide when I'm going to have.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: A day on versus days off. Yes, exactly, all the
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: days are off. I'll let you know when I'm on.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even gonna like I'm not even gonna
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: put in for a vacation day. I'm just gonna treat
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it like, oh, I need a personal day. I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: after a four day weekend, how can somebody expect to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: be in on it fifth day?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: That's right?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I don't know what's happened, but it does
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: feel like Memorial Day has turned into a five day
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: holiday weekend for a lot of you. Because I've never
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: had easier traffic on a Tuesday and was not expecting
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that to happen.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: That's a pleasant surprise. Yeah, Also, were you when you
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: were talking about work, screw you? Why are you going
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to flip off? And then you got nervous because of
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: the YouTube. Are we allowed to flip people off?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Not nervous? I just that the last second was like, ooh,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was reminded you can see us, people can see us.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I would have if you're gonna do flip off, you
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: got to just do it up here then no one can.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: See right, right, Like I would flip you and Bucky
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: off all the time when we were just doing radio.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Now apparently I can't do that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Well, we probably should ask if we can.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Our show middle fingers are a big car, right right, Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean there's somebody deserving of one at all times,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: all the time during the course of the show. So
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, what what are we going to do with
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: two of these? Yeah? I mean it's not just always fists, no.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: And that, you know sometimes we talk about that, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: it is the magic of radio or the power of aio,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: and that we're just pretending.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we really gave.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Two of these, yes exactly. Yeah, and my magic career
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is over thanks to YouTube. I used to be a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: radio magician and now people will know that I'm not.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not even doing any trip. What are you going
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to do? I'm just pretending to make things disappear because
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you can't verify it with your eyes.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's hard.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I had a fifteen year career as a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: radio magician, very successful one, and now that's not going
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to work anymore. All right, Well, it's good to have
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you with us here on this Wednesday, and I will
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get to those special special guests coming up here in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But let's dive into what we what
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: this last night on the baseball field Sacramento, California, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the Mariners make it two in a row against the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Sacramento A's. I don't even know what to call them,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: just the Yeah, yes, it's the A's, because they're not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: really the Sacramento A's. They're gonna They're just there temporarily.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And it is It is not nearly as enjoyable to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: watch games, I'll be honest. When you're playing in a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: minor league parks.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: The audio, everything, it's not it's just not as good.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's not as esthetically pleasing. I mean, I really do.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: There is something about when we play at Yankee Stadium,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or we play at Wrigley Field or Fenway Park, there
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is a little extra juice to watch the game, even
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: though it's on television to watch the game in those
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sacred venues versus what we watch in Sacramento. And believe me,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the players for the A's are most bothered by it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I will say there wasn't a lot to
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: It wasn't very enjoyable to watch a game in Oakland
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: when they were in the coliseum either, But there was
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: it was different. Yeah, it was just sounded very empy.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: You could tell how empty it was. It sounded very echoey.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But they Yeah, but they had there. It had its
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: own quality about it that was different from everyone because
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they were always doing the noise makers and the and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and then the drum dude, and then when they were good,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was as rock as a place as
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: there was. It's just a lot of the times they
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: weren't all that good. So it was empty. But beyond that,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Mariners do win the game. So that's two in a row.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So a four to one victory last night will cover
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the details with Mariners morning after here at six thirty.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: They also move within a half game of first place
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: because the team they are chasing down is the team
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they've beaten the last two nights, and so all of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a sudden there's not a single team with a five
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: hundred record in the American League West, and so that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: puts the Mariners in position, despite their rough start this year,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to be able to leap into first place by the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: end of today. By three o'clock this afternoon, we could
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: be in first place. Despite this really rough start to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the Mariners season, a season that was supposed to satisfy
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: all of our dreams, it's fallen a little short. Yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And look, there are two major topics really that are
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: being discussed with the baseball team right now. One of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: them that I think should be a legitimate concern, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the other I don't even know what to help to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: do to help you people, if you are really just
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: spending your entire time. And look, I try not to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: exaggerate this, I really don't. I realize that social media
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is kind of a platform for complainers. I get that,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and I don't think that it represents even the majority
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of baseball fans or sports fans out there. People use
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it to complain, and they use it to go after
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: other people and their opinions. That's kind of what it's for.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It is total cesspool. That's what social media is. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: so you know, as my bosses know, as Ashley knows,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I reluctantly use it because of those reasons. But I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: do try to keep a foot in the water, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I do use it for informational purposes because so many
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: stories are broken. So that's how I use it. But
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you really, you gotta you kind of have to take
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it for what it is and try not to get
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: bogged down in the negativity that swirls around that form.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And so when you are checking it out, when you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: are trying to keep up with with Twitter and other things,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and I only look at Twitter, you can't help but
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: see it's ninety five percent of people that are weighing
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in on the piggyback hate the piggyback.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and the word Well, I can't there's nothing
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I can do for that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Those people. Either, we didn't name it piggyback. They named
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it piggyback. So we're calling it piggyback because if we
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: just started calling it something else, I think people would
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: be confused. Yeah, So I'm sorry it's getting overused, but
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it is actually a really sensational topic. And so I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do for you. I mean, I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: think that a lot of you social media users that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: just want to be negative. I think one of my
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: criticisms of you as human beings is and as sports fans,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and you do whatever you want to do. You now
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: have the platform to do it. But I think my
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: criticism of you is that you go in to every
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: situation expecting the worst, thinking you're going to hate it,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: so that when it doesn't work out, you jump all
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: over it with both feet. That's what I think that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you do. And so you, obviously because the team blew
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the lead and the first Piggyback nin experiment, because they
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: blew the lead in the ninth com you couldn't wait
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to jump in on this because it was different and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it was weird, and it seemed to be front office driven.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And you just live to pile on Jerry because even
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: though he's given you five consecutive winning seasons and two
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: playoff appearances here in the last four years, there's still
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this I've hated him for years and I can't stop
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: hating him, and I can't wait until he trips up
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: because I'm going to be there like a vulture picking
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: at his corpse. That's I think there's a mentality of that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And so there's I even told Anders this, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and I think the world of Anders and Anders and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I do a podcast, but when he was filling in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the other deskid, don't go into a topic expecting not
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to like it, because it does make you jaded, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make you look at the story or the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: individual topic with any kind of unbiased approach. You're going
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in with a built in bias, and I think a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: lot of people are guilty of that. I am expecting
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to hate it, and if there's anything about it that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I don't like, I'm going to jump all over it
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: with both feet. And you are totally ignoring the fact
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that most of what happened and the experiment won with
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: piggy Bait Piggyback actually was a success. Both the starting
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: pitchers that were used in that game pitched well in
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that game. It was the best we'd seen Luis Castillo
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: pitch all season long.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, it blew up in their face at the end
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: because they didn't have the formula down. They made a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: mistake by not thinking, if we're up a run, all
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: this goes out the window. We have to preserve the win,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and Andre's Munos is our best guy for preserving that
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: kind of win. So they made a mistake. We were
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: highly critical of it on that show. I'm not defending
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: everything about this. I'm not even sure I like it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I don't even think it is the right solution for
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the problem. But I didn't go into it just expecting
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it to fail, wanting it to fail. Couldn't wait for
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it to fail so that I could say nasty things
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: about those people that I don't like that are in charge.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: That's not the approach that I had, And I feel
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: like the approach is there were some things about that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: under the circumstances that weren't totally awful. It just ended
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: awful because we blew the lead. Yeah, exactly, a one
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: nothing lead. That's a pretty thin margin, okay. And so
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think people went so far in on that the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: first time around that they could possibly say anything good
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: about it the second time around, And there is really
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: nothing to be angry about the second time around. It
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: was exactly how they drew it up. If we can
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of run support, what we'd like
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to see happen is Castillo go at least four and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Miller go at least four, and we would like to
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: come away with the victory and save the bullpen for
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: one entire night, and if we can do that a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: few times through the rotation while we're trying to figure
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: out the long term solution. Admitting that this is not
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: ideal for anyone, including us as a front office, including
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: us as a manager, including us as a coaching staff.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's not ideal. We don't want to have to do this,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: but we're trying to come up with the best solution
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that benefits us in the long run. I mean, it
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't have gone better, and yet we still have, as
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I can see it, ninety to ninety five percent negativity
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on these plas. So it's hard not to respond to it, right,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, even though I'm sure there are a lot
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of reasonable thinking Mariner fans out there that aren't entirely
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: against it, all you read is the negative reaction to it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden it switched to because
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Luis Castillo threw a fit and the dugout. All the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: players hate it. Well, if your solution is to put
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Luis Castile in the bullpen, how do you think he's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: going to respond to that? Suddenly we're worried about Louis
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Castile wasn't the whole thing about we do can't worry
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: about anybody's feelings. We got to do what's right to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: win the game, what's best for the team. And then
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the moment Luis Castillo's feelings get hurt. Now we're rallying
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in defense. See it's not working. His feelings are hurt. Like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I get why his feelings are a little bit hurt,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: but he earned that, He earned that six era that
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he has. He earned kind of being used as we're
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: only doing this for you to try to keep you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in the starting rotation or at least feeling like you're
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: doing this in the starting rotation, and so I don't
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you can't just keep changing why you're angry with it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and then come across as reasonable. The reasonable reaction to it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: sorry to tell everyone, is it's kind of working. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily like it. I don't know if it's a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: long term solution. And it's pretty clear that Bryce and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Luis were not communicated to well enough about how it
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: was going to work, and that is legitimate, worthy criticism
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of the organization. And I'd put it more on Dan
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: than I put it on the front office, because I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if Dan, and I would imagine the front
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: office thought Dan was going to take the time to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: explain what's going to go on, or Pete. You know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I love Pete, but maybe it was Pete that didn't
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: do a good enough job explaining to his pictures. Maybe
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Dan thought Pete was going to do it. I don't
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: know that was a mistake. There've been mistakes made with
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: both Piggyback experimental episodes. There have been mistakes made, granted,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: but for the most part, it's worked. And if you're
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: not acknowledging that, I think you went into it expecting
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to hate it, and you are looking at the flaws,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the mistakes, and then you're saying, what a failure. Fire,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: everyone burn down the building. Yo, this isn't worth keeping.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: The new catchword apparently is this organization is unseerious. Oh god,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So that's my read on it, because
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think that this is a worthy argument that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: people are putting up against what's reasonable and what's right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And what's reasonable and what's right is it's weird, it's different,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it's not ideal. Mistakes have been made. Fewer mistakes were
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: made in game two than we're in game number one,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it's going to be tried again and maybe there will
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: actually be some benefit out of it in the end,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: versus what I preferred to do was just put Castillo
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen, which would have really ruffled his feathers.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it is interesting that so many people were
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: concerned about Castillo or worried about Castillo because it all
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: of a sudden helped their argument that the piggyback is
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: a failure. And then hearing Bryce say he was uncomfortable,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: everybody glommed onto that too.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but I think as professionals, a lot of
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: people have been asked to do something at work or
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: take on a new task, or change the way they
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: do something and it feels uncomfortable. But that doesn't mean
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: you're not going to do it. That doesn't mean that
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: isn't the best thing that you should be doing right now.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: And I could understand why that's uncomfortable. You're coming out
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: of the bullpen, you've been a starter, your routine is
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: completely different, not ideal, no, exactly, But all of that
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: doesn't really matter when you look at the fact that
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: it was successful, and then remember the fact this isn't
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: a permanent solution. This is just something they're doing right
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: now to keep both pictures stretched out so that they
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: can figure out what the next step is going to be.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: So if you take it for what it actually is
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: right now in the moment, and that's it, it has
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: been a success.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Like I said yesterday, we spent four weeks,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: four weeks preparing for this moment, mapping out that this
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: is a really difficult even though it's a good problem
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to have, the finding a solution is not easy, not
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: easy at all. And so what are we seeing a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: good problem to have and a solution that has warts
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and flaws to it, but you know, maybe it is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the best solution for the moment, Yes, until you can
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: figure out your long term plan now. So that to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: me is not something that we should even be baiting
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: frankly right now now. One thing that I do think
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: is a concern is something that we actually did well
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: with last night. You should be concerned about whether or
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: not this team can hit left handed pitching, because not
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: only are we the worst in Major League Baseball at
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: it so far this year, we're the worst by far.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I mean it is that is something to be concerned about.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Can we hit left handed pitching. Well, the A's went
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: out of their way. They bumped Luis Severino completely out
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of their rotation just so that they could call up
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: their best left handed pitching prospect to face us last night.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: How did that work?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is going out of your way to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: try to expose a weaknesses in someone. And Gauge Jump
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: ends up getting jumped by our offense last night, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: we win the ballgame and wrapped out a lot of hits.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: That certainly the best night we've had against the best
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: night we've had against the left hander in memory. Maybe
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it's not, maybe I'm a prisoner of the moment. Maybe
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it's not our most successful night this season, but it's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: certainly the most successful night we've had against the left
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: hander in memory. And it was so out of character
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that literally in the middle of Gauge Jump's performance, a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: pitcher we've never seen before, a guy that's been brought
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: up from the miners, has never pitched in a Major
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: League game. And the A's and their broadcasters were so
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: convinced that the Mariners stink against left handers and that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that's all you've got to do against them, that they
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: were wondering by the second inning. Is he tipping pitches?
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: We can't even get credit for beating a left hander
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: once and twenty tries because the A's are sure we're
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so bad at it that gauge jump must be tipping
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: pitches because there's no way the Mariners are going to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: have success against any left hander that So that's a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: real concern. And so last night was a good sign
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that maybe we're coming out of it. Maybe some of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: those guys that we paid to hit left handers. I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: sure hope that we saw some progress a step forward
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: last night. And I am actually glad. This sounds strange,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I'm actually glad we're facing another one today because I'd
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: like to see it. I don't want to wait four
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: more days, five more days to see if last night
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: was a fluke or if maybe we're trending in the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: right direction. So I'm glad the A's are throwing a
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: left hander today because I want to see if we
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: can put up crooked numbers against Jeffrey Springs today as well.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe it will be a sign that we are done
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: being horrible against lefties, because there's no reason to think
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: that we should be horrible against lefties. But there's no
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: denying that we have been horrible against lefties.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely correct, And I would hope that going back
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: to back against lefties after having last night's success would say, well,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: we can do this and give them a little confidence
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: going into today, which would be perfect.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: We shall see, all right, let's find out what's on
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: tap for the show us. What's on tep. Mariner's four
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: A's won there two games under five hundred and, as
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, just a half game back of first place.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: They go for the sweep today at noon in Sacramento.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: It'll be Logan Gilbert versus left hander Jeffrey Springs. We'll
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: certainly be talking more about this later on in the show,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and more about our struggles against lefties versus the piggyback thing.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I think maybe that was my segment today on the piggyback.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: That'll be the lone one here today. NBA Playoffs Oklahoma
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: City won by the thirteen points over the San Antonio Spurs,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and I love that the final score was by thirteen
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: points because I literally wrote down so that. I in
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: my notes last night and watching sports, I said, I've
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: never watched a game where one team was perpetually up
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: thirteen points in my entire life because I wasn't completely
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: fixed on it. I was more fixed on the Mariners.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So it was on TV two, and every time I
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: looked over, the Thunder were up thirteen points. So I
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: wrote it down, and what do they end up winning
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: by thirteen points? And so the Thunder are up three
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to two in the series and they can close it
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: out in San Antonio on Thursday. But I have a
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: feeling we're gonna have a game seven, and I think
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that's what all sports fans would like to see. Meanwhile,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the New York Knickerbockers await the winner of the Western
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Conference Finals the NBA Finals next Stanley Cup playoffs. Man,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: what a shocking result. The Colorado Avalanche have not only
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: been knocked out of the playoffs as a one seed,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: they were swept by the Las Vegas Golden Knights, who
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: won last night two to one over the Avs. So
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: now the Eastern Conference the only thing in play. Game
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: four tonight, five o'clock Carolina at Montreal. US World Cup
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: rosters are set. Christian Rodan made the team. Congratulations to him.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: We're two weeks away from the World Cup and we've
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: got a lot of Seahawks stuff to discuss today. OTA
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Starting yesterday, Mike McDonald spoke and Tory Horton injury update
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: stuff that we will cover today with Greg Bell and
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck at seven oh five and eight o'clock respective.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: But Mariner's Morning After comes your way next. Just getting
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: started on a Wednesday Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: kha RFM. The A's thought so little of the Mariners
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: right handed hitting lineup against lefties that they decided to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: activate Young Gauge Jump, one of their top prospects, his
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: first start of his major league career at home against
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a team that has been the worst against lefties this season.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And it didn't work out so well for Young Gauge Jump.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: We got to jump on you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: I guess you jumped to conclusions.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: We turns out had jumper cables.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Chris Cross will make you jump.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Mmm, think about that the next time A holes anyway,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: time for Mariners Morning After, a highlight, a SoundBite, a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: preview of what's going to go on to night day
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: as we get ready to wrap up the series. And
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: so Gauge Jump takes the mound. It was scoreless going
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: into the second inning, but all of us sudden, the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Mariners and those struggling hitters against the lefties started to perform.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Josh Naylor, who's been benched a couple of times this
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: year against the lefties, got a single to left in
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the top of the second. Then Rob Refschneider, what did
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I see? What is that that I see? Rob Refsneiner
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: singles through the right side of the infield, suddenly got
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: two on and nobody out, and here comes Mitch Garver
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and we all have faith in Mitch uh and so
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: he comes to the plate, also trying to turn things
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: around against lefties, like he built a reputation for being
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: able to punish before he became a Mariner. And sure
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: enough Mitch comes through.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: This is fair inside the bag at third base, Naylor
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: is coming around to score, ref Snyder. He's racing into
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: third base, gets waved home coming to the plate, and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: he's scores. Standing Mitch Garver drives in two and the
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Mariners have an early lead.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: That's Aaron Goldsmith on the call Mariner's TV. Of course,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: they did rule that that ball got stuck down the line.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Therefore they ended up saying you got to go back
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to third base, ref Snyder. But sack Watch was alive,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and well, last night I want to thank you know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I think it was Jeff. Was it Jeff that reminded
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: me last night? No, Dwayne, Dwayne Will reminded me last night.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Powell. Yeah, yeah, we're practically related.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: He reminded me of sack Watch, and I'm like, yes,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: sack Watch.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: So many sacks.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: We had sacks all over them awesome.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: In Sacramento.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, like Joe sacko. Uh. And so we get the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: sack Watch started last night, and man did we come through.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: We were all on that wall and we watched several
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: successful sacks and end up winning by a final score
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: of four to one. And yes, we did jump on
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a left hander pun intended gage jump gave up four
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: runs on nine hits over five innings. And that's all
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that Emerson Hancock and company would need last night for
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the four to one victory. Hancock started to get into
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: a little trouble in the sixth I was a little
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: confused as to why we didn't have a bullpen ready
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to go since everyone was rest didn't we just do
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the piggyback thing so everybody would be rested so that
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: there's no way that we could get caught off guard
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: or flat footed because we have all five of our
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: best relievers available and at the first sign of trouble
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to get the victory, I would have thought that they
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: would be up and ready. It's the reason why we're
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: doing this thing, because we can keep them and we're
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: gonna yeah, and that the set it better myself and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: yet completely caught flat footed as the A's third time
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: through the lineup. They just a little warning before we
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: play today, Dan, that park will sneak up on you.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: It is a minor league park and it is a
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: launching pad. Don't mess around, don't get caught flat footed.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You almost dead last night anyway. Emerson handcott six innings
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: pitch last night. He did allow just one hit, two walks.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: He ended up striking out three. And apparently he is
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: living by a brand new philosophy, and that is as
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: a pitcher, one pitch at a time. Here's Emerson. Yeah.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: I think it's huge. I think it's something we say
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: all the time. And I also think it's something where
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you got to have the awareness to know where you're
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: at to be able to dial it back in and say,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: you know what, just one pitch at a time, you
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: don't know how many you're going to get, so just
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: kind of lock in and commit to each pitch as
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: a team, to play the way you guys have the
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: last two nights.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Just how important is that coming in here knowing you're
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: chasing them, knowing how up and down kind of the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: season has been for you guys, and what going to
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: mean tomorrow to kind of go finish this job.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's huge. I mean, anytime you have
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to sweep a really, really good team and
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: a good lineup, it's a great opportunity. And just the
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: way that you know we played yesterday and today and
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: having eleven hits, you know, tonight was about those guys
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: in the offense and it's just like, how can I
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: continue to kind of keep this momentum. And we were
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: able to kind of get some quick innings and keep
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: those guys back in the dugout and back in the
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: battery box. At any point, you love to pitch with
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: the lead, of course, So to be able to get
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: that three to zero kind of early.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Does that help kind of kind of settle down a
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: little bit too, I think so.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: But also a thing on the other side, like, it
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: doesn't change your process and your plan of what how
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: you want to go on execute. And I think you know,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: this season, there's been some times where we get to
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: momentum and I've kind of given up some runs. So
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: tonight I just want to put up a zero. Get
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: those guys back going, because tonight was about them.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: The Southern Gentleman, Emerson Hancock.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I'd like him to start reading bedtime stories.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why not bedtime stories with the Southern Gentleman? Two
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: point seven eight e er Now for Emerson Hancock, fantastic. Yeah,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: he's just every from beginning of the season till now,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: he's just been outstanding. Oh yeah, yes, yeah, So good
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: for him last night getting it done. And we did
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: end up using for Air and the Seventh Spire in
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the eighth and Munnos in a non safe situation in
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the ninth. But that doesn't mean they're not available today.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: They're all available today. You have a day off on Thursday,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and we now are doing this piggyback thing to make
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: our best relievers more readily available on more nights, so
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: they are all ready and ready to go today to
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: be used if needed in a game. Yes, so four
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to one the final score last night. Logan Gilbert will
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: pitch today. It is a noon start, high noon and Sacramento,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: which is a dangerous time to go out on the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: streets and sacrim what's.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: That you do that Western? Yeah, there you go. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: was gonna do. I was gonna be like we're we're
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: where I can see the tumbleweeds.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Springs will start for the A's, And as I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: mentioned in our first segment, yes he's a left hander,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: but good bring him on because I want to see
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: if we can build some momentum against the lefties. And
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: this is a veteran left hander who's a little more
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: used to the park than what gauge Jump was and
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: has had a pretty good year so far this year.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So if we could have back to back productive days
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: offensively against the left handers, then maybe where we've lifted
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the curse.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Just like this plack.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm glad we're facing a lefty. I want
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to see if we can duplicate that. Yes, and it's
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: not like we lit up the scoreboard, but man eleven
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: hits against all left handers. It felt like it felt
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: like I was crawling across the desert in a Sparklets
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: truck pulled right out to that. Oh my gosh, I
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: was just looking for an oasis. Now I got all
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the water I can drink. So noon today we go
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: for the sweep against the Sacramento Athletics, and we will
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: certainly talk more about the everything going on with the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Mariners a little bit later on in the show coming
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: up next though, before we dive into some football. We're
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: gonna talk some football today. Matt Hasselbeck's going to join
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: us at eight. Greg Bell, or Seahawks insider, is going
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to join us at seven oh five today. But I
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: did mention something yesterday about Witherspoon, Devin Witherspoon in his contract,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: and there's a little bit of clarification that was provided.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And also I'll get to that next for you on
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Come on back
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: on our radio station. Then you just take a bunch
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: of days off. Is that how it works?
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: I'd like to get on that plan.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. He must be on the sixth day New
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: sixth Day Memorial Day weekend plan.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: He figured it out.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very very good on his part. Seahawks OTAs
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: did start yesterday. Mike McDonald introduced his brand new slogan,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: it's not run it back, it's run it forward, run
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: it forward. What do you think of the little play
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: on words.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Uh, I think it's very Mike McDonald. Yeah, yeah, I
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: get it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I run it back obviously sound has a better ring
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: to it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Uh huh and I and you know instantly, but run
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: it Forward is their own take on it, and it's
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: very seahawk.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's like overly clever. He's not like
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a he's not like Shakespeare. No, but he comes up
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: with something that is just like north of corny and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit south of clever, and then it always
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: seems to work, like the like even when he got
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: caught off guard, Oh yeah, what did he say on
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the podium? Like that was not the greatest line ever
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: delivered on a podium. We did we don't, we did
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: not care.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: He did not care.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: We did not care. And it's like, that's not exactly
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: eloquent in the moment, and yet it worked. It worked.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: I think it's because he's so likable too, that people
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: are like, okay, well and he wants you want a championship.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I think part of it is because he's not like
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: overly slick, right, Like there is sort of a I'm
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: just a football coach. I'm just a guy, yeah, and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and probably pretty good at it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably I might make this thing a career.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's something about it. And then it's still catchy,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't know if I should like
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: that as much as I do, but I do like that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: You said that for some reason, and I think the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: same thing with this. Run it forward. But we'll get
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Greg's thoughts on this. Also, he didn't really talk about
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Spoon's contract, don't expect him to, but I did do
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: an entire segment, big segment on it yesterday about how
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: there's no way that these two parties can't be close
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that if they are working on a contract extension. The
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Seahawks should know well enough too with a special player
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: like this, where the contract negotiation has to start and
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: it has to start around Trent McDuffie money, and the
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: agent has to know that based off of what they
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: did for JSN, that the Seahawks are not about to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: just blow the money out of the water order to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: satisfy player or agent. You either want to be a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: part of this. You want to be a part of
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: something special, or you don't, We're going to give you
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: a fair offer. We're going to give you a market
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: offer to try to keep you and keep you long term,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and you're going to be a really rich man that
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: gets to play for a Super Bowl contender for the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: next five years. So if you want that, we want you.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: If you're not interested in that, maybe we're not as
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: interested in you as we thought. So this should not
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: be a difficult negotiation. And yet there was a report
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: over the weekend saying that the two sides aren't close. Well,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I did get it heard qualified a little bit yesterday
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: from Brady Henderson who said that maybe it's not about
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that the contract negotiation isn't close, is that they're not
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: really close to signing. In essence, they're in no hurry,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: so on the calendar, they're really not close to signing.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: They've not even gotten real serious with the negotiation just yet.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: So that was for his part, thinking that maybe he
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: got misrepresented in the quote by the article that I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: read at NFL Trade Rumors dot com. That's where I
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: got the information that maybe that was a little misleading,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: But it was never about they sat down at the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: table and their offers are completely apart. It's more of
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: they haven't really even sat down at the table. They
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: haven't even really gotten serious about it, and so on.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: It from a calendar perspective, you know, don't set your
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: watch by it, because it doesn't sound like either side
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: has put any urgency on getting it done until we're
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: closer to training camp. So I guess that clarifies the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: statement that the Seahawks and Witherspoon aren't close on a deal.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: It has more to do with the timing of the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: deal versus the dollars involved in.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: That, and that makes way more sense.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: It was kind of baffled yet, as we said, maybe
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: this can't be true, because it just seems impossible that
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks would come in and lowball them, and it
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: seems impossible that he would come in and ask for
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: something so outrageous. Yeah, just given the situation, it seemed
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: like the natural progression would be he would get the
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: next highest contract and it should be pretty straightforward.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: So that makes way more sense.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: But boy did people run with the idea, because if
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: you typed in Devin Witherspoon to Google yesterday, it was
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon and the Seahawks not even close on contract negotiations. Well, no,
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: contract negotiations aren't close, would be the better way to
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: put that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that was, like Brady's saying, for
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: my part, if people are running with my story and
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: doing that, then they misinterpreted it. And so he's really
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: good at what he does. Greg's obviously very good at
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: way that Bob Candota is. Obviously we get some good
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: guys covering the football team here, and so he was
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: just like, if people ran with what I reported, then
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: they misinterpreted. Because just for my part, just so I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: can clear my soul here, I'm just going to tell
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you that that's not what I meant to report. My
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: reporting was that they just really haven't sat down at
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the table. And it's not like they've planned to do
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it this weekend, right, I mean, they used all six
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: days a Memorial Day weekend to rest and relax as
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: they should. They didn't. They didn't use any of the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: six days that most people use now to talk about
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: nasty contracts. And so I think it's gonna get done,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: and I'll just I'll still stand by my segment yesterday
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: at seven oh five that when they do finally sit
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: down at the table, it should be one of the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: easiest negotiations in the history of John Schneider's career. I
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: would think, so, it is all right, we're gonna use
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: McDuffie's contract as of the floor. You come up with
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: your offer that you know we're not going to agree to,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: and then we'll work off the two, and then reasonable
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: minds will settle at something very lucrative that keeps Devin
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Witherspoon here for five years. Probably. I don't know if
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I'd go beyond that with somebody who's not exactly the thickest,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: sturdiest defensive back that I've ever seen. I don't think
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: we'd go beyond five. But we will, out of respect,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: go beyond four, since we are dealing with a younger
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: player in Witherspoon than what the Rams have in McDuffie.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So I would imagine it will be one of the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: easiest negotiations in John Schneider's career.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: I would think, so.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, but it'll still be painful to have to,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that's another big salary that is going to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: affect us and our cap significantly going forward. But we
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: feel that twenty one is worth it all right? Coming
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: on next Greg Bell will join us. We'll get his
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: thoughts on it. Also your headline Sports Radio ninety three
