  Speaker 1: pulled the kind of the best of Julio out yesterday.

  Speaker 1: Get to that in a second. Two things. One, it's

  Speaker 1: to get this out as well today and I'll mention
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: this again as the show goes on. But here's the thing.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We started the Mayor of Maple Valley Open and Mayor IPA,
• 0:35

• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and February golf tournaments in July. Beer got released mid August, Andrews,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you were there for that day, A great day at Georgetown,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: A ton of fun, great beer, great IPA. It sold
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: out faster than it ever has except for the COVID year.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Of twenty twenty. What we did though, we held two
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: kegs back. We had one keg that we tapped on
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Monday at the Queen Ane Beer Hall before the Crack
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and preseason game. That's gone, and we had one other
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: keg full keg that we always have our last keg party.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: This will be the third year we've done this at
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in Bibe Taproom in Maple Valley right off on one
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: sixty nine. If you're anywhere in the South End, we'll
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: tap that at five o'clock tonight. We got some great
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: stuff to give away courtesy of my friends at simply
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Seattle simply Seattle dot com. Also some Georgetown swag, some
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Mayor stuff. We're selling Mayor trucker hats as well. We
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: have Really it's just a fun, fun party. That's tonight
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: starting at five o'clock. We'll have the football game on.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We'll have the baseball game on at in Vibe Taproom.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: They've got a Smash Burger truck outside, which is awesome
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: if you like smash Burgers. The burger truck is there,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna start that at five. That is our
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: last last keg period. End of story. You can't get
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the Mayor Ipa again until next August, but we did
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have one. I found out the hardy. Apparently the FCC
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: frowns upon certain things. No, not not talk show hosts
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: late at night. They don't really care about that, contrary
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to popular belief, but they do frown upon if I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: was to say, auction a six barrel, which is like
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: forty two pints, like the small skinny cakes, if you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: were to auction one of those off on air, they
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: don't like that. So we had an extra six barrel
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that they saved for me to do that, and I said,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I can't do that because the FCC doesn't allow that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to happen. They get upset about that, and then they
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: call Purple Sheet and CrossFit GM here, Mark and everybody,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and there's fines and then they you know, things like that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So instead of doing that, here's what we're doing. George,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I said, just take it and put it in growlers.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So as of right now at the brewery, at this moment,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: we have a limited supply of growlers of may Or
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Ipa left. When they leave the brewery and nothing, you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: can't get a beer. They don't. They didn't tap it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: It's just they'd fill growlers. That's it. That's it. Pick
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: up a growler today at Georgetown. They are on sale now.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Head in there. Limited supply, very limited supply. But get
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: your growlers there at Georgetown today. We've rained that final
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: one and we also have the final final CAG event
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: tonight at Imbibe in Maple Valley. And then I can
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: take a deep breath and we can write some nice
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: checks and do some good work for Lensky's Hope, Bavery, Huffman,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: DIPG and the Jordan Morris Foundation. All right, let's get
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to Julio Rodriguez, by the way. Cool to see him
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: at the Mariner game last night. There were a cracking game. Sorry,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Mariners were at the cracking game last night. They
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: had at least two suits filled with players. Awesome. Naylor's there.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He actually smiled really crazy. That's the biggest story of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the night. I thought so too, Josh Naylor smiling ladies
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen. They were having fun last night. Julio on
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the zambone cruising around the ice of the second intermission,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He's waving and having fun. Somebody looked at him and go,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: how could you not love that guy? Kevin Mather, how
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: could you not love this guy? Yeah?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Who will just smile it here? I am places going nuts.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It was really a preseason hockey is like preseason football.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Get it over with. Yeah, but that was a highlight
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: last night. That was really cool to see Wholio. Well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Julio spoke to the media yesterday and we pulled the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: best out. We thought some interesting stuff from him. Getting
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ready for the playoff series against either Cleveland or Detroit
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: again Detroit leading one nothing right now top of four,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: right and just top of four leading one nothing. Julio
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez was asked by Ryan Dimish how this team is
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: different than the last playoff team three years ago.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Though this team, maybe compared to the team in twenty
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: twenty two.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Is better equipped to handle this kind of pitching. You know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: the other team was younger, wasn't as deep.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: This team's got older guys in the lineup, like you,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: guys can handle the elite level pitching.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I just feel like we're better. You know, we're better
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: overall than over twenty two. And like you said, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: experience also plays into it too. There's a lot of
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: the same faces, but Plow who ut grown over the
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: past a few years and I think we're going up
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: be more prepared.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Just what did you learn about playing in the postseason,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like the intensity of it all?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: You know you're a rookie at that time.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: I mean what did you learn.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: From it that you think would be a better ahead,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: better quick this time?
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, just experience yourself, you know, how would you experience
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: it like you gonna like you know, mo, the vibe
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: and everything, and also that that's the best base that
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: we do play is a phone base with to play
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: so all, I'm definitely looking forward to Dan to backing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So Dan talked about your guys' identities, talked about it
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: all the year. Is that something you have to lean
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: even more into going to the playoffs? Not feeling like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you need to be bigger or do more just at
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the end of the day.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: But yourself, I'll say yeah, a hundred percent, because you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: we're we're we're in this position for who would where
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: throughout the whole you know, season, So I feel like
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: changing changing that would be like kind of stepping away
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: from who we are. So I feel like as a
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: team that that would be the best teams just kind
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: of staying within ourselves and play play to our strength
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: because that's all I got us here in the first place.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: What are those near business class couple of years? Was
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: the impact of that plus another before? I feel like
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: just you know, I feel like miss was stronger, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: miss of wanting more because you know, obviously, like I
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: came here in my rookie year, we made the post
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: season the right way, but and then missing missing a
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: few of them. I feel like Midos hungrier as a
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: team and kind of like Todd us more about ourselves
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: and like, I think someone needed to do one continue
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: to get better, to be able to be in this
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: bottle of game right now.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Kuil Rodriguez in his uh previous playoff experience, which was
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: five games, uh two seventeen, average, three fifty seven, on
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: base percentage four thirty five, slugging seven ninety two ops.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'd take that right now. Say you no home runs,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: two RBIs, one stolen base, did walk three times so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: we got on a base, struck out seven times though
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: in twenty three at bats he was a kid, yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and you know so he's looking for his first postseason
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: home run. Did have a couple of RBIs. Now, I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: think some of those numbers are skewed because the entire
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: team didn't score in the final game, the fifth game
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that went eighteen innings, so everyone was like, oho for nine,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you know, right in that particular game. In fact, what
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: was he he was oh for He was one for
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: seven in that last game. So I exaggerated a little bit.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: He's won for seven, But yeah, I mean that that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: last game kind of exaggerated a lot of stats. You know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there is something that tells me that this guy is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: going to have a playoff. And what I mean by
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that is he's this is where he become. Like cal
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: became a star this year with sixty home runs and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the home run Derby and everything that cal Raley did, right,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Cal became a star. Cal became, at least for baseball fans,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a household name across the country. Julio's on the verge
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of that, but he's not quite there. I agree. They
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: had one Sunday baseball game all year, and I think
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: when we talk about nationally televised games in baseball, that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the only one that matters. If we're being honest, I'm sorry, Apple,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you and Roku don't matter at all. So ed one
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: nationally televised game. Julio on the National stage. I'm excited
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to see what he is. Bring the joy that you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: bring to the field, bring the enthusiasm, and bring the field.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Bring that gold glove caliber defense to the stage at
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: center stage. I'm going to be stunned if I look
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: at the line after this playoff and I don't see
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: under home runs three or four RBIs ten to eleven
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: plus couple three more stolen bases, etc. I think he's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: going to be a star. I'm just nothing to base
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that on other than I just think it's time. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: think it's time we see him become a star outside
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of Seattle and share the joy of Julio Rodriguez that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we get to see every day. Share that joy with
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the rest of the country. The captivating personality that he has,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Share that with everybody. The no fly zone stuff and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: all that. Let's go huh, let's get get going. You know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Randy throwing up a free throw at third base after
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a home run. Let's let's share all of that. Nailor
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: being pissed off at the world every time he steps
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on the diamond, Let's share that with the world. Just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: stoic doesn't change his no expression whatsoever, No just be cows.
• 9:22

• 9:24
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Come back, Eno Seras from the Athletic,

  Speaker 1: few growlers poured at the brewery at Georgetown Brewings, so
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you can go pick those up today. They will last
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: probably for a couple hours, maybe by the end of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the day. I'm sure they'll last till the end of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the day, but go down there and pick those up again.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: All the money goes to charities. Hi, EEno, how are you.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm on my way, I go. I'm telling you, it's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: fantastic beer. It's a medal. Somehow, it somehow wanted a medal.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And I say that because I'm somehow involved in it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with the recipe or anything,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: because that's chemistry stuff and I'm too dumb for that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But our bruer, mad Ed Matt Edwards put together an
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: award winning beer and it all goes to a great cause.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And go pick it up at the brewerytay or come
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: by and see us tonight ed and vibe all right,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I'll score update Detroit Cleveland tied at one winner to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the Alds against the Seattle Mariners in the American League
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Division Series starting at some point on Saturday time to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: be determined. Eno, who does Seattle want to win? If
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: you're a Mariner fan, who are you rooting for in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: this game?
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Cleveland? The Cleveland offense was one of the worst ten
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: in the big leagues this year, and I think you
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: want that. I think you want to face that. You know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: usually teams don't make it to the postseason with the
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: twenty fourth best offense. Right, it's even worse than that
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: the twenty eighth best offense.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, how's their pitching staff though? Does it
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: balance out there somehow?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: There?
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: It is, It is pretty good, but you know, they
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: lost the annual Class A this year. So the bullpen
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: they have Kate Smith and a couple of other guys,
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: but you know, it's it's not the same vaunted bullpen
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: they've had in the past. And yes, they've developed guys
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: like Shane Bieber and Corey Klueber, and you know they've
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: been considered a pitching factor in the past. And Gavin
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: Williams and Tanner Biby are pretty good. But you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Seattle can match them in the pitching staff department.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: If it is Detroit. What would Seattle be seeing If
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it's the Detroit Tigers. It for what two thirds of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the season at least record wise, with the best team
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in the American League and then just kind of fell
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: apart at the end.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: Well, for one, just maybe the ace in mag League
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: baseball right now, Tyres Scoogle is probably the best pitcher
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: in baseball right now, and he was sitting ninety nine
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: with a ninety two mile an hour slider in his
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: last game against the Guardians, So just an awful, awful
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: left handed starting pitcher matchup for anybody. That part is
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: going to be the tough part. The offense is something
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: that you can pitch too normally. If you just look
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: at the names, it's Riley Green, Spencer, Torkolsen, guys that
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: strike out and it's not a great line up top
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: to bottom. The thing that they do, and the Guardians
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: have kind of done this in the past, is they
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: just do their best to have a platoon advantage in
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: every at that they do their best to run by
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: the numbers. They call it pitching chaos, but they also
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: do hitting chaos where they have a lot of hitters
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: that are interchangeable and can play many different positions and
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: alrighty lefty. So the annoying thing about facing the Tigers
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: is you are facing all twenty six men. It's not
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: something where you can focus on a couple of guys
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: and figure out how to beat them. It's more about
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: beating them with execution in every moment because they're going
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: to try and put the numbers in their direction every time.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were just watching this game. I mean the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Tigers have threatened every inning I think so far, They've
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: just got the one run to show it. They've had
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: some runners in scoring positions, strikeouts have been an issue
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and a couple of pop ups too, so they've had
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: opportunities to take a little bit of a lead and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: they haven't done that in the deciding game three, I'm
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: going to get to postseason success or failures versus regular season.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You wrote a great article in The Athletic, and I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: thought it was really interesting because concept or topic we've
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: talked about a little bit here on this station as
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it relates to Saint Aaron Judge or Cal Rawley and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: guys like that. We went through Julio's numbers and his
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: very brief one postseason appearance. Same with Cal. We'll do
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that in a second as you're handicapping this thing. And
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I want to get to the NLDS too, because Phillies Dodgers.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: For someone like me who's a little bit older, I'm
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking to say, hey, is this is Mike Schmidt playing?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Is it? Is it that Phillies team and we got
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the old school Dodgers? What have you got? It's been
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a while since they saw each other. But before I
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: get to that, how does eno Sarah see the Mariner
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: shaping up for this postseason.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, I have I have them through this next
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: series at the very least, and I could see them.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: I think that it's set up for them to go
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: to the CS and have a great matchup, you know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the Jays or the Yankees. I think it's who they'll see.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: And you know, it's just really hard to look at
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: my crystal ball and and tell you you know, what's
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: going to happen. Then they do have the pitching and
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: the hitting, you know, things that have been been that
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: are predictive in the postseason, you know, and these are
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: very very small predictive quality. Like it's really hard to
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: predict the postseason. But making more contact is good. That's
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: not great for the Mariners, but having a good lineup
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: is good. And this is one of their best lineups.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: So I think this is they could go to the
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: World Series for sure, and they could even win at all.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: But you know, I'm more sure about them getting to
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: the ALCS than I am about what happens to Yet.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: We lean on you heavily for pitching and your your
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: acumen and your ability and your expertise in that world
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of baseball. The Mariners that we look at with this
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: pitching staff. Now WU is still up for debate. Have
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: we seen anything Andrews today? I know Dan Wilson spoke,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Is he say anything about Brian Willie's throwing BP today?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: BP today? So I mean we won't see him, I'm
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: sure this weekend, but maybe next week in a game
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: three or four. We assume it'll probably be so order
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of Castile and Logan Gilbert, maybe Gilbert first, Castillo second,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Eno strong starting pitching. Maybe the numbers weren't there this
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: year for Seattle, but how far can that take a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: team in a playoff series.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's big, But you know, what's happened in
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: trend wise across baseball is that, you know, not only
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: have relievers gotten to the point where they're pitching almost
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: fifty percent of regular season inning, but sometimes in the
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: postseason we've had postseasons where relievers are pitching more than
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: fifty percent of the postseason as dude to rest days,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: off days, there is no tomorrow type of managing for
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: you know, and then there's also just you know, taking
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: guys from the rotation, putting them in the bullpen. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: you know, best case scenario, who is healthy and Bryce
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Miller becomes a real wildcard because then he's a reliever
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: and he can be the bridge to the late game relievers.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: And I think in short stints some of the issues
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: he's had with com and go away, because I think
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: you'll throw harder, and I think, you know, he'll be
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: he'll be great in two or three anth since then
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: he has that history as a reliever, as a converted
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: reliever as well. So you know, I think I think
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: that they've got what it takes. The WU thing is interesting,
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: but if Bryce Miller has to start Game three, you
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: know they could they can push the Woo decision out
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: a little bit further. I think that, you know, that
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: becomes a little bit again more important than to see
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: us in the American League.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know Sarah showing chrisy of George s Elberings.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So really, when we handicap these things and we look
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: at bullpens, it's a little bit different. You're not looking
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: at necessarily a regular season bullpen. You're looking at a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: regular season bullpen and whoever they may add to that bullpen,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: correct like, because no team's going to use flash starters.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: It's really most obvious with the Dodgers because they they
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: had a terrible bullpen. Everyone said, this is a really
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: terrible bullpen. They're screwed. Well, they just took Roki Sasaki,
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: who's supposed to be a big starter for them. He's
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: now throwing one hundred, you know, with the ninety two
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: hour splitter and looks like he's their closer. They were
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: talking about using Tyler Glass now in relief, and she
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: and one of their pitching prospects that was the starter
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: all year in relief. So you know, that's that's what
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: a lot of teams, and we've seen it with the
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: Diamondbacks and the Rangers and the Nationals in years past.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: The Nationals had that year where they had Corbyn, Schuzer
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: and Strasburg and Corbyn was like a reliever for them,
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: you know, he just kept coming in as a lefty reliever.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: So you know, that's definitely what makes it so hard. Also,
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: you know, you look at these year long bullten numbers
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: and they include relievers that are now hurt. Now the
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: miners not didn't make the postseason roster or made the
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: postseason roster and may not throw a pitch, you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: because they really hone in on who are your best
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: three arms in the bullpen three four. The only people,
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: the only team in baseball that really can say we
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: have six in the bullten. We trust the Padres and
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: that's why I have the I'm going pretty far, but
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: I'm nervous about that pick.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm well. I mean we get to a game
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: three and three of the four series. I mean that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a anything can happen. As the old cliche says, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: serious joinings. All right. I thought this was an interesting
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: We've had this conversation on air a couple of times.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You wrote about it. The regular season, guys that are
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: MVP candidates, guys that are cy young candidates. Sometimes it
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't translate to the postseason. Aaron Judge's numbers have dropped
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: off historically in his postseason appearances. We went through Julio's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: not that he was a true MVP candidate, but Julio
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: didn't have a great postseason. Is five games? Cal Rowley's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: five games certainly don't reflect what he did this year,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: but it was three years ago. What did you find
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: out when you're kind of putting pouring through this that
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: kind of gives you the thought that maybe sometimes those
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: numbers don't always translate to the postseason.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I just thought of one I didn't put in
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: the piece, which is I'm kicking myself now. But you know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: here's here's the thing that is really interesting. If you
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: look at just where hitters do damage, and you look
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: at the bottom, you know, twenty five percent of the league,
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: and then the middle fifty and the top twenty five,
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: you you just separate them that way. One of the
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: things that really stands out is that the top twenty
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: five percent, the best hitters in the league do their
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: most damage middle middle. I mean, it's dull, but that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: the separator. It's not that they do better damage all over.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: It's that they destroy things that are in the strike zone,
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: and the bottom twenty five percent are slapping the ball
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: around in the strike zone, you know. And so if
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: you think about it that way, you're like, okay, well,
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: let's take all the worst relievers off of the roster.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: Let's take the four and five starter and make them
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: relievers so they throw harder. And let's basically take all
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: the worst teams in baseball and take them out of it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: And what you see is the average postseason fastball is
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: a mile an hour faster, but not only a mile
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: and hour fast, but has an each more ride. So
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: you know you're facing better pitching in the postseason. So
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: that is part of it, that you go from maybe
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: beating up on, you know, worse pitching and then you
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: get into the postseason you're facing better pitching. That's some
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: part of it, but it's not all of it, because
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: we have Hall of famers like Joe DiMaggio and Mike
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: Schmidt who are below average hitters in the postseason and
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: I'm not calling them unclutch, and I'm not gonna say
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: that those guys just accumulated numbers against bad pitchers, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: you know, when they faced good pitchers, they were bad.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: So I think a lot of it also is, Yes,
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: if you add up all the cy young guys and
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: all the MVP guys, you get like four hundred innings
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: and you know, you know, fifteen hundred played appearances, and
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: it sounds like, well, that's a big sample and they
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: were all worse. But it's a collection of little samples.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: It's not one guy throwing four hundred postseason innings or
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: one guy. And this is what I hear a lot
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: of times too, was like, oh so much better in
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: the first spott the lineup. You know, when you add
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: up all his other spots in the lineup, he's not
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: as good. Well, those are just collections of little games
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: here and there. They're not. Actually you didn't say, hey,
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: how does Julio's Let's have you bat first for a
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: whole season, and then next year we'll have you back
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: third for a whole season, and then we'll combine those,
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: we'll compare those two. They don't. It's not how that works,
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: you know. So when people add up samples, they sometimes
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: will add up a lot of little samples and say, oh,
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: this is a big sample, but it's actually just a
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: lot of little samples. And in the end, I think
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: it's the unsatisfying answers. It's just luck. I think that,
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: you know, there's a little bit of it's harder. But
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: you know, I was here when they said very Bonds
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: is terrible in the postseason and he can never do it,
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: and then he single handedly led them to the two
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: thousand and two postseason with homers and homers and homers.
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: So you know, I think you just need to keep
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: giving guys chances. If they've had a chance in the postseason,
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: haven't been good. Just give him another chance, give them
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: a chance. Judge is going to break through event.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just the I would encourage people read
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the story that you know, road Alert's in the MLB
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: tap at the Athletic. I mean, these are the below
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: average hitters who listed in the postseason are basically Hall
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of Famous Vladimir Guerrero Senior, Craig Bigio, Jackie Robinson he
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: was good at baseball. Mike piozso you know he's pretty
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: good at baseball. Joe Joe Morgan got the what when
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you put Joe Morgan there, I'm old. I remember the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: big red machine. I was just I would have just
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: figured he would have been hitting three fifty in the postseason.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Wade Boggs, Joe Demagio, Gil Hodges. Yeah, I mean there's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a small sample size. I do like what you said.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're a numbers guy and you study this
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: stuff intently. There is a little bit of luck, right,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and there is a little bit of a small sample,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and yeah, that's what it is. Sometimes it's it's I
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: mean we're talking about right now, three game series. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: mean we could see the Padres, who a lot of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: people love getting knocked out today. We could see the Yankees,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: who people think are a favorite, getting knocked out today.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: That could certainly happen along the way. One team that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: didn't get knocked out would be the Dodgers. We touched
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: on them a second ago, Philly's Dodgers. I'm gonna ask
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: you the sports radio question. You're gonna say, I don't
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: want to ever come on with you in again because
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this is like too cliche and what are you doing?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm much better than that, but I'm gonna ask
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: you anyway, is the alds between those two teams for
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the alcs nlcs NLCS Yes, sorry, I.
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: Mean I think that's yeah, those are the two best teams.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: And what I think is really interesting too is that
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: they seem like they were built to fight each other.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: I was doing like a blow by blow rotation bullpen
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: defense power and in each case their strengths and their
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: weaknesses sort of line up with each other. Like their bullpen.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: The Phillips bullpen is not the best, but they went
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: and got John Dura and from the from the Twins,
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: and in some similar way, the Dodgers, you know, figured
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: out with Roki Sutaki might be their closer. They piece
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: it together. You know, their rotations are both great, they
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: both have great power hitters. Then neither one of them
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: is the best defensive team in baseball, but they're they're
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: above average. You know, these these teams are built to
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: fight each other. And and I think it's a shame
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: that it's a five game series because I actually think
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: those are the two teams that are best teams in baseball. Now.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: I know the Brewers have the best record in Major
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: League Baseball, and they're a really good team. But there's
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: some aspect of what the Brewers do that accumulates over
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: a regular season that I don't think is necessarily amazing.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: For the postseason. They do things like run a lot,
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: play really good defense. These are things that win you
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: little games on the margin. But in the postseason, I
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: do think there's a little bit if I found a
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: little of effect of like stars matter, your top guys matter.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: You're matching up ace against a second against second. You
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: know it's not you know, it's not a thing where
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: you can you know, win on the margins as much
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: as you know your top performers need to perform, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: when they have Otani, you know that's a big deal.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: You know, tell people about the podcast because at this
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: time of the year, I don't think Marriner fans can
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: get enough baseball, which is really fun for us because
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen all that often, or at least it
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: hasn't happened all that often in the pass. Hopefully this
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: becomes a regular occurrence. So where can where can they
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: find you?
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: We're at rates and barrels, and we're daily and we're
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: always having fun over there right now, but sometimes during
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: the regular season where you do some fantasy, but right
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: now it's all all about the playoffs.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And again for us, this is fun. I want to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: make this like a regular thing every year. It'd be
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. We're enjoying it. I'll let you get
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: back to watching Detroit Cleveland. They're still tied bottom of
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the fifth inning, one to one.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: EMA.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. By the time we
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: do so, we'll either be looking at a game five
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: for the Mariners in the Alds or they'll be moving on.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about what the other option
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: would be. Thanks buddy, Thanks a lot. Theres brought to

• 29:10
  Speaker 1: have thought that was a bad game. Preseason anything is awful,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: we get excited. I'm starting to side more and more
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: with Softy, I really am. And that just pains me
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to say it, but I am. I'm starting to side
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: with Softy preseason NFL preseason spring training is the worst,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, unless you're sitting in the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: sunshine in Arizona while it's forty degrees here. Spring training
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: in baseball is awful. Yes, a bunch of guys wearing
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: number eighty nine, like, come on see. I'm a little
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: partial to that over preseason hockey and football because you
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: get to see some prospects he maybe not would be
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: able to see. But none of those guys are going
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to play here.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Like.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: The thing with baseball that I really don't like is
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that you know your roster going in. Yeah, you're just
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: all it is. Spring training is about one thing. Pitchers
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: getting their arms loose ready to go for the season,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: some hitters trying to get some timing. It's a maybe
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: NHL is the same way, goalies getting their timing down,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: getting to work in Joey got lots of work in
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: last night. He was great, he's good. The Vets just
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: going through the motions and last night, if they're playing,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: if they're playing well, they have to play two games minimum. Okay,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that'll be the case next ye
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: because there's only four games next year. It goes from
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: six or eight to unless there's an injury, correct, right, yeah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: but there's enough guys it won't matter. The power plays
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: eleven combined last night, the entire first period of special teams.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: It's almost as if the two coaches went to the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: officials and said, hey, call everything so we can work
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: on special teams. I'm I kind of Askedline Lambert that
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: post game. I kind of like that. I kind of
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: asked him that, and he's like, he didn't say no anyway, Yeah,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it was it was we're done, we move on. The highlight, honestly,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: was the Mariners at the in the CPA filling up
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a couple of suites, having some fun, letting awesome steam,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Julio riding and Zamboni around place. Went nuts when they
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: were introduced too. I honestly believe the biggest year might
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: have been for Naylor because you could see him he's
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: easy to recognize, like, like some guy's like, I think
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: that's Matt Brash was wearing his like Mariners hockey jersey.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: He's worn a yeah, wearing he was wearing a jersey.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was the Marrior's one. Yeah, because
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the new the third one. Yeah, the like we're like,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's Kirby. I think that's Brash. You know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: it's hard guys. Some guys are I know that's Huio
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: on this His cruis are around having fun Yeah, and
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Nayler you know, like I said, he smiled. I thought
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that was the biggest news of the night. He wasn't
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: ready to kill somebody. Wow, really having funny is correct?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Kicking back, you know, a few beers. I think he
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: grew up an Edmonton fan, is what I heard. He's
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: from Ontario. He's from Ontario. Here's the thing. You'd have
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to be Josh Naylor and have the stones to grow
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: up in Ontario and be a fan of a team
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: from Western Canada. That is a very joshing. It's like, yeah,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and who's gonna tell him no, screw Toronto. Yeah, he
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: was like that's probably what it was.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben was telling me that last night here he
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: grew up in oilers. I mean it's not awesome, but
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: it's yeah whatever, Cracking made just a couple moves today.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: They still have a lot more roster moves to make,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: but they sent down Ben Meyers and Mitchell Stevens. You're going, okay,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm just putting the news out there.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Waiting for Berkeley. Berkeley looked okay last night, took three
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: minor penalties, but Berkeley Catton it has to be on
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: this team. I'm sure he's going to be on this
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: team at least start. Matty. Beniar's looks so much better
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and more comfortable with him on his line. So we'll see,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: all right at your daily power play again one week
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: for the night opening night at Climate Pledgery. And the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: best thing about that, no matters game that night. It's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: either a travel day or getting ready for the next day.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: For there's no third options. There's no third option. There
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: is no third option. So basically it's it's just getting

• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Injuries have just been brutal. Yeah, I mean there's been
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: some people not performing up to expectations for sure, but
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: injuries have been brutal. I mean I I personally was

  Speaker 4: week where didn't really clock that he was supposed to
• 33:34

• 33:39
  Speaker 4: lineups at six thirty in the morning when I hadn't.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I kind of forgot that they were kicking off that early.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Somehow escaped me. I think there was a there was
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: a husky game involved, and I was that was not
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: in my normal focus.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Oh oh man.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: So anyways, it's.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Been a been a struggle. Bus year. Our even our
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: our esteemed fantasy expert has his days. I feel well,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I'll but all the quarterback injuries, all the wide receiver injuries,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, skill guys hurt all over the places. So
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that's why we have you here, sir, to answer those questions.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: This is how messed up this is. I'm gonna tell
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you how messed up it is. Right now. We don't
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: even have our normal order today. That's how people are
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: calling in. There's desperation in the air. We also had
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: someone that wasn't just closest to the pin. They nailed
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: it at one o'clock exactly today on the text line
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: at four nine, four to five one for your question.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: So without further ado, we drop down, not one spot,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: not two spot. Yes, our own version of Jalen Milroe.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: We're down to the third string. And you know what

• 35:20
  Speaker 4: I love weirdly the KC matchup has been pretty good
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: for running backs this year. I love the way Etien
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: has been looking. Jacksonville's actually been blocking really well opening opportunities.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go ETN And I have a Chan
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: number two this week against Caroline. I think he's just
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think he could push ten catches with
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Tyreek kell out just and it's the matchup's great, So
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: I just think there's a lot of way a Chan

• 35:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Rob, and again thanks for calling in. And
• 35:45

  Speaker 4: Well, I got him at like twelve or thirteen.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: It's not like I don't like him.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Rob's just got some really good options like how like.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: How the how? I mean, I'm just trying to figure
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that one out to be honest with you, Like that,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: but that might sum up the year, all the injuries,
• 36:07

• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Let's let's get him on without further Ado online three today,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: A little bit tardy, but better late than never. Hi,

  Speaker 9: one of these following four guys Portland Sudden, Ashton, Johnty Quinn,
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: Shawn Junkins or Javonte Williams and thanks as always for
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: doing this.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Man, that's good and you need how many?
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Mike?
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: Just one?
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Just one? I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: Jent Over Jack kNs. I like all those guys, I
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: mean I have them all ranked high. But game. He
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: had a good week last week and the matchup doesn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: set up too bad for him this week.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: All right, Ashton genty it is two six two six
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: ninety ninety five. Let's go stay in Bury and Chris
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and Bury and you're up next. What's up?
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: Chris? Good afternoon, gentlemen. Happy football Thursday.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Happy football Thursday. Let's go, bud. What do we got?
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Full point PPR. I need a flex And don't laugh
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: at this because I wasn't sure if I should play
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: him or not. We've got deMercado, Derrick Henry, DeVonta Smith,
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: or Jake Ferguson in that flex spop want.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: To Smith and Jake Ferguson, Well not not deemer Cotto
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: over Derrick Henry. And you know what, I'm gonna go with.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson's got a ton of targets. I'm gonna go
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: with him over DeVonta Smith. You can't trust that passing
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: game right now, So give me Henry and Jake Ferguson
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: and Demercato is not the direct replacement for Trey Benson.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Sounds like Michael Carter probably is going to come in
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: off the practice squad and be the early down guy
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: and Dean McCarter will stick with his passing game role.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Oh there you go, good stuff. There, that's a that's
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: an interesting concept. Okay, that's uh. You know, I was
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: just thinking how disappointing I got more phone calls, but
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: just Derek Henry's killing people isn't he this year?
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, you know it's he's had some big runs.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: He's had some fumbles though, be very interesting this week.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: You know, Lamar Jackson helps running backs out. I think
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: they've had the backfield's average over five yards of carry
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: with Lamar Jackson at C and center. But with Cooper Rush,
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be you know, there's gonna be some stacked boxes.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Cooper Rush does not throw the ball downfield, so it's
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: gonna be just a very very stacked box this week.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: Even still, I take Henry over de Mercado.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: All right, two six sixty five ninety five. Here we go,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Derek and Sultan. What do you got Derek? What's up?
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Guys?
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: I got a trade question for you. Since the last
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: one worked out so well, you told me to told
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: me to trade away Tyreek Hill, so let's let's do
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: it again.
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, exactly.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: So I'm wondering if I should trade away brock Bauers
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: for Javonte Williams and Hunter Henry. I need a running back.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's great. And actually, you know, and I was
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: just going to go back to Mike's question. He had
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Javonte Williams or Gent and I actually am looking at
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: my rank because I have Williams just ahead of just
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: ahead of Gent and part of that has to do
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: with Miles Sanders. It's not completely healthy. The Jets haven't
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: been great. So Javonte Williams has been really good. The
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: dvance metrics back it up. He's involved in the passing game.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's going away. So brock Bowers, we
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: haven't really seen last year's brock Bowers really kind of
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: come into play a whole lot with Gino yet and
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: so yeah, So, I mean, Henry's kind of been been
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: a nice connection for Drake May. So you get Henry
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: as a replacement, plus you get a big upgrade at
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: running back. I think that's a decent deal.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Yeah, Gino Smith still ruining
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: life in Seattle. You know he's not playing here anymore.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Work that's mine. Well done. There, We stay in Sultan,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Stephen and Sultan. What do you got? Steven?
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: Not much missed you guys.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: So I have two quick questions. One is not ge
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: Harris Worth even keep it on? I r anymore in Dynasty?
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: And two I need one flex Tetario McMillan, Marvin Harrison, Diggs,
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: Andrews or Juwan Johnson and things like always guys, I
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: missed you.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Stevens Anderson, Juwan Johnson. I'll see is it
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: tat or Marvin Harrison gonna look at Yeah? I have
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: tet a little bit higher than Marvin Harrison. He we
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the way I would go there. My answer on Naji
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Harris is like if if not nause on your ir spot,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: then who I mean, you might as well use it?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: So if you are, I mean the bigger question would
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: be like if you if you removed him, you have
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: someone to put there, I mean, might as well use it? Right?
• 40:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely? Greg and Graham? What's up?
• 40:52
  Speaker 10: Greg?
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: How you guys?
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Doing good? Buddy?
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: What do you got?
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: I got a trade question in hal TPR Would you
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: trade Davante jeez? I'm blanking okay, Trey McBride for quin
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: Shawn Jenkins.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Man, Uh, I mean it's the number one tight end
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: and is sending Quincheawn Judkins. The only thing that I
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: would say that normally, I would say if Judkins wasn't
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: facing a potential suspension of two to four games, that'd
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: probably keep riding Jenkins.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: And he's looked really good.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: He's actually looked like like he might be the best
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: running back in the class. But with that hanging over
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: his head, you know, it's like, I guess you can
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: if you have a need for tight end really bad
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: and you have some running backs to play with, I
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: think it's okay. But man, who has a bunch of
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: running backs to play with?
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Nobody? The answer is nobody. Nobody has that. Let's see,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: we'll bang through these real quick. Jordan and Tacoma. Hey, Jordan, mom, Man,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: how are you guys? Good buddy? What's up?
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: What do you got?
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: So I need two of the four full GPR.
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: I got Ladd McConkie, Marvin Harrison, Michael Carter, and Ramande Stevenson.
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: Thanks guys, thank you.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go with uh, you know I'm gonna go
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: with Marvin Harrison for sure. Gosh, let's let's go with
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Ladd McConkie. It's not a great matchup. But I just
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: don't know about throwing Michael Carter out there right away first,
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: right off the practice squad, and they can give him
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: a full load. We'll see, but I I'd rather I'd
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: rather roll the dice on ma Coonkee.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Beautiful Stephen Shoreline. Your next up? What's up?
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: Steve?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: I need one out of the three for flex. JK.
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: Dobbins at Philly McConkie home against Washington, Pittman home against
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: the Raiders.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: The Dobbins and Pittman just want to watch out on Pittman.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: I just saw he popped up on the injury report
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: today with a hamstring issue. I don't know if it's
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: serious or not, but if he ends up playing, I
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: want Pittman. If not, then you know your choice is
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: made for you.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: All right, last phone call before we go to the text.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Daniel in Lake Forest Park, Hey, you got Anyboddy? Hey?
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: I got Jamar Chase and I gotta get rid of him.
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: Can I get a running back for him?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: And if so, who you can try?
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: You know he's averaged over in PPR. I think it's
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: something like twenty three points a game in his career
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: with Burrow and like eleven point two with Browning. So
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: he goes from wide receiver one to it's probably somewhere
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: in the wide receiver two range now for the rest
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: of season. So you should get something commensurate to that
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: value at the running back position. I mean it's it's
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: probably not crazy to say, you know, I'm just looking
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: at the guys here. I mean, if you could get
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: a Travis Etn or a quin Shawn Judkins or a
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: Cam Scatabo. I mean, that's really kind of where you're
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: at when you're talking about running backs.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: You gotta get twenty plus points, is what you're talking
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: talking about, even even as bad as Browning spin.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, even go Javonte Williams for Jamar Chase.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's terrible. We just talked about a
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: deal for Javonte.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: We'll get them. Throw that out there, all right, Let's
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: get to some text four nine four five one. That
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: is the undrafted unrestricted free agent text line Andrews, I'm
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: gonna start at the very early. You'll start at the
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: very end, and we'll get as many in as we can.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: And I mentioned this, and I'm very proud of our listeners.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Jamie from Allen bang on right off the get go
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent accurate one o'clock exactly, not one second after,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: not one second before. Jamie and Allen closest to the pin,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: got a damn hole in one start golf or Herbert,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Uh matchup favors golf this weekend Cincinnati. I'm definitely starting golf,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: using in my top five at the quarterback position.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Andrew from Pualla really really tardy one second after one o'clock.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or Jayden Daniels.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: I'm going jad and Daniels. It looks like he's going
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: to play. If he plays, he's my number two quarterback
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: this week. Don't think Pretscott's a bad play, but I
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: want Jaden Daniels rushing floor.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Four to two five. Also just absolutely tardy at one
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: second after Herbert or Goff. Yeah, I just know we
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: just did that. Sorry about that GoF full point PPR
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Mconkey or Rashad White.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I mean the Seahawks give up a lot of
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: receptions to running backs. Rashad White. We're probably gonna get
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: the bulk of the carriers with Bucky Irving likely to
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: be out, so give me Rashad White.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: We're still one second after this is remarkable injuries and
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: bye weeks, cy Oh yeah, we're feeling your brother standard scoring.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Keon Coleman or Troy Franklin.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: I like, I like the matchup for Keon Coleman. I
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: like his advanced metrics a little bit. So give me
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Keon Coleman.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Half point PPR. Need one wide receiver in one flex,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Jamison Poward, Dowbtell dig so needs two of those digs.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: Give me Jameson Williams and Stefan Diggs.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: We are still one second after the hour. It's remarkable
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: full PPR Trede Tucker or Wandale Robinson. That's from Ryan
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and Scottsdale.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just go ahead and go with Wandale Robinson
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: maybe getting like eight catches of about five yards apiece.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: That adds up in PPR. I think this is a record.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Still one second after standard scoring Sutton or Flowers.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: I have Sutton two spots ahead of Flowers. Both of
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: them are in my top fifteen.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: There's people right now listening and they're saying I had
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: to be like right at the top of the hour. Yeah,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I'm still one second after I haven't finished it. Let's see,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: we've got Marcus, our buddy. Marcus also hit the one
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: second Mark Horton or DeMarcus Robinson PPR.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Horton, Oh, Tory Horton or DeMarcus.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all his receivers are hurt on a buy.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, give me a starter. DeMarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: are starting for the forty nine Ers. Who knew that,
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: like every offensive skill position starter for the Niners would
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: be out except for at CMC. I mean, it's just crazy.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: That's the kind of outside down world we're in. But
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: DeMarcus is a starter. I'd rather have the number two
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: than the number three.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get the two seconds after the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: hot because that's what we're starting right now before I
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: go to Andrews the top of the ar need one.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, AJ Brown, Brian Thomas Junior.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Uh, just need one?
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: I like.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: I'm just looking AJ Brown slightly ahead of Brian Thomas Jr.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Let's see need one please full PPR Sterling Shepard, Travis Hunter,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Deontay Thornton, Darius Slayton or Kendrick Bourne. Need one.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: Let's go with Kendrick Bourne. I actually think he's good
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: for five or six catches this week.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Stafford or Jayden Daniels at quarterback? Should I trust Daniels
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: coming off injury against the Chargers on the road.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, that Chargers matchup for quarterbacks hasn't been terrible. I
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: actually have it graded out as a pretty decent matchup
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: for Jade and Daniels. So James Daniels at back. I'm
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: making the Jade and Daniels decision every week of the year.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Half point PPR. Stafford or Baker Mayfield.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: Stafford and Mayfield's not that healthy. He's gonna play, but
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: he's been dealing with He's got a couple of little
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: injuries that have sort of slowed his role this week.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Love that for fact fiction exactly half point PPR. Need
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: two for flex DeMarco de Marcado, Pollard, Agbuka Kirk need
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: two half point PPR. Let's go with it.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Let's just go with volume with Pollard and definitely definitely
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Igbuca even though Seahawks defense man one of the best
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: in the league.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: But I'll still take a Buca. I can't go any
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: further Anders because I mean, I'm only at three seconds
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: after the hour, and you got again some of the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: latest ones to come in, so fire away. Well, we
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: did get a text from Ricky and Tacoma. He says,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: it's two fifteen. I know I'm late, but I tried
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: to call the regular phone and it's been busy since
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: one fit. It's been crazy it's been a crazy week man,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: with injuries and bye weeks. It's been this has been
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: our like. Our volume is higher than ever before, he
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: texted in his question standard scoring. I got three players,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and I need the best one for my flex spot.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Wandale Robinson, Travis Kelcey or Era Elik Iomaner.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Let's go with Travis Kelsey in the standard league. The
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: touchdown potential upside, I think is what I would lean
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: towards there.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: All right, half point PPR Traveon Henderson or Michael Carter.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like, uh, I like the matchup for Traveon Henderson.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: It's the highest over under four game score on the
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: board at fifteen and a half between the Bills and
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: the Patriots.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: So give me Travion all right, half point PPR. Pachecko
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: or de Mercado.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: Chucka hasn't been great, but he's still the lead guy there.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: Give me Pacheck, o cause.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Co or Sharboney.
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: Let's go.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Let's go with Sharboney, Like, oh my.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: God, give up.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Trade question. We love trades. Would you give away Dereck Henry,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Ann McLaurin for ETN and Marvin Harrison Junior?
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: I would not, No, I mean, Lamar is gonna be
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: back before too long, and Henry could be a monster
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: down the stret Still, I don't think he's hit the
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: career cliff at this point yet.
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Blake Korham or R J Harvey full PPRJ.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: Harvey had sort of this breakout game last week, and
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: I expect him to continue to be heavily involved going forward.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Got jsn is one of my receivers. Need one more
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Nico Collins, Quentin Johnson, Xavier Worthy or Jordan Addison.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: Let's go with I'm gonna go with Nico Collins. Baltimore's
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: defense hasn't been as vaunted as they've been in the past,
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: so give me Nico. Quentin Johnson would be a close second.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: And then a secondary question on the same text, Should
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: it Douneza be starting the rest of the year after
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: this bye week? Yeah, I gets a ton.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: I mean he's the number one target for Kaylen Williams
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: getting a lot of work in the in the red zone.
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely is as good as it gets right now. Two
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: five to three, Dearest Funds is as good as a gets.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I should Yeah, he is?
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: He is.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: DearS Funston, is Cuba gonna start if not. Should I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: move Dobbins up from my flex and start Khalil Shakir? Also?
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Is Baker a good start this week?
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: I don't think Baker is a good start. Seattle's been
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: It's been pretty tough on quarterbacks. Cuba is hanging in
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: the balance, got a calf injury. I love the matchup.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: I had to downgrade him though. Honestly, if he gets
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: out and you could, you could filling him in with
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Rico Dado, that would be the move. Who was who
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: are the people he was asking about?
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Should I move up Dobbins and my flex and start
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir?
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: I mean that's fine, It's it's uh, you know, it's
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: a decent matchup for that.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: But, like I mean exactly, this season sucks. It's the
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: worst ever. I'm owing for a guy. Everyone's awful, everyone's
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: gonna buy, everyone's hurt.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: This sucks.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: We need the reset.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: But like, if you play, if you play like a
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: survivor pool, you know, and everyone's four weeks, just start
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: over again? Can we just start over again? She sucks?
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: That's the worst.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: God. I hate you.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I hate you, brocked out, really hate you. Gino. You're
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: on it on my team, and I hate you, Like,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: does he not know that brock Bowers is on his team?
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Let's straight with him.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Hey, Pete, Pete at some of this blame too, all right, like,
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: but think about it. It's all the Seattle narratives have
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: just moved down to last they have.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: It's it's so true. But here's the thing you've got. Oh,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I know, I saw Jamal dancing on the side of
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: my I'm like not playing, think he's doing something. It's
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: like raw raw, But like brock Bowers should be Gino's guy,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: and he's checked down Gino. Now he's right there. Eighty nine.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: He wears eighty nine. Man, It's just like all those.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: Years when we thought Jimmy Graham should be our guys.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: Why you guys?
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Just Pete hates tight ends and Gino hates the more.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Lamar is soft, Derrick Henry is old. And let's just
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: go through the list. Marvin Harrison Junior's overrated. Marvin Harrison
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Junior sucks unless he's playing the fourth four against Reek
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Walling exactly. Screw fantasy anyway, It's unofficial start of the weekend.
• 53:01

  Speaker 1: back check the text. Andrews has a pick today for
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: a Factor fiction coming up.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: From the R and R.
• 54:15
  Speaker 10: Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now back to Ian Fernez powered
• 54:20
  Speaker 10: by Seapple's closest sports book, Snow call Me Casino and
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: All right, moments away from Factor Fiction, A couple of
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: reminders for you. Tomorrow is a football Friday sponsored by
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Tito's Time Made Vodka, but but a lot of baseball tomorrow.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Detroit leading Cleveland now six to one. So it is,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: and we're in the top of the eighth inning, so
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: six outs away from Cleveland moving or getting eliminated in
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Detroit being here on Saturday for Game one of the
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: a l DS. Now, we won't know what time that
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: game is until later on today. Five o'clock Yankees, Red
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Sox deciding Game three, Red Sox win one awight game,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Yankees win five thirty eight game or five aweight game
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: the five O fiveweight. Yeah, so five o'clock, five o'clock
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: if the Yankees win one o'clock. If the Red Sox
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: win later on today again, that's a five o'clock first
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: pitch in New York today. But Detroit leading Cleveland six
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: to one, so I think it's almost a foregone conclusion.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: We will see the Tigers here coming up on Saturday.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: They erupted for four runs in the seventh inning. I
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: think it was yes, yeah, they were just got it
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: got ugly, ugly in a hurry, and we didn't want that,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: by the way, we did not as Joe Shihan said
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: he would pick if it was the Mariners in the Guardian,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: he picked the Mariners in two and it's the best
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: of five. Do the math, and pretty quickly when we
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: asked who we should be rooting for, before you even
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: finished the question, Eno said, Cleveland.
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: Cleveland.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: That ain't happening. Cleveland is in trouble. Eight nine to
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: one up for the Guardians in the bottom of the eighth.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: As we go there, all right, let's get to it.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Where's that to go?

• 57:05
  Speaker 1: the better chance you have to win. You listen for
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: the pick which is coming up in a second. If
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: you agree, you'll text Fact the four nine four to
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: five one. If you disagree, your text Fiction to four
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: nine four or five one. For today's pick, we go
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: to mister Anderson Hurst. So my last two successful picks
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: have been and really the only successful picks on this show. Yeah,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, do that, but you
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: know it's true. It is true have been Homer picks.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stick with what's been working for me lately.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Seahawks minus three at home versus the
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We just heard about some banged up
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield stuff from Brandon Funston. I just believe in
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks team more than anything else. I think they've
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: exercised the home demons, so to speak. It was pretty
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: dang loud against New Orleans. I just and it's not
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: just Baker may Field that's been injured. On the Tampa side.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: They got banged up O line, there's Mike Emans is out.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of big question marks.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: They've been a good team so far, a good story.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: But I just I really believe in what the Seahawks
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: are doing right now. Nicki min Warri seems like he's
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: gonna play, which is great. The Sam Donold's been one
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the league. I expect that
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: to continue. I just think the Seahawks win by more
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: than three points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So Seahawks
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: minus three at home versus Tampa Homer pick Homer pick
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I love it. Seahawks minus three minus three. Well, first
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: of all, this should be home field advantage again, yes,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: like this should be that again, Like we should see
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: a home field advantage for Seattle. It's Tampa. They're not traveling.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Plus see, Okay, I know everyone loves the Creamsico jerseys.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: It's the battle of the nineteen seventy six jerseys, helmets
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: and helmets and everything, the entire kit. As they say,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: ours are so much better. Oh, the wrap around, wrap
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: around Seahawks logo is awesome on the helmet. Yes, the
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Seahawks posts some stuff on so social media. Eric Kennedy
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: is putting it over there, putting it over there. Yeah, Uk,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: and those guys doing that, it's awesome. It's really cool. Yeah.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: And anyone who thinks that the Creamsickles are better than
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks throwbacks can just so. I'm not saying I'm
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: making the pick because of the jerseys, but you know
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: it's add something to it. Plus Wellether the secretary in
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: the office for the March Madness or what. Plus, like
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Downtown's gonna be hoping this weekend. Man, it's gonna be
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: hop Listen it even like the murders playing next door.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: One hundred thousand plus people in the Soto area. Everything
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: going on it. The vibe is gonna tell us that
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: this is going to be awesome and you need to
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: be there. Yeah, you fired up and ready to go.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: A couple of things real quick again. Pick is Seahawks
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: minus three at home versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Fact four nine four five one. If you hate the
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Seahawks and you're not a real twelve, then you text
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: fiction to four nine four or five to one. But
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: if you want to win one thousand dollars or have
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: a chance to win a thousand dollars, you'll text fact
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: right now because you believe and Mike McDonald and the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Seahawks Fact four nine four or five to one disagree.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Fiction four nine four to five one one thousand dollars.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: The line just a quick thought. If you are wanting
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: to do something this weekend, want to go to the game,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: but you can't take us for the Mariners or a
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: scene expensive wise, Seahawks are sold out. Don't want to
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: go to the secondary market if you just want to go.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Queen Anne Beer Hall, my good friends Juice and Gary
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: and those guys. That place will be massively crazy this weekend,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: especially on Sunday with the NFL and the Mariners. So
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: go check out the Queen Anne Beer Hall, Moss Bay Hall,

• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: if you're going to the games, that's the place to go.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: And if it's brand new Occidental Hall. It's located right
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: at the basically the north end of Northwest corner of Lumenfield,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: right across there. It's kind of like that triangle brick building. Awesome.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: They just opened up about a month and a half ago.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: It is sensational. Go check that place out before the game.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of places will be jammed. Jimmy's will be crazy,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Bucker doing postgame shows there after the Mariners game,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: so you can go check that out as well, But

  Speaker 1: score six to three, our score.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: You find yourself with a massive rooting interest in this series.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: I do because of the following on Tuesday, our guy
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Sheen said, if it's the Guardians, the Mariners will
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: win in two and it's a five game series, and
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: and and how did how did you know Sarah's just
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: then finish the question about question for and he said Cleveland,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Because I said, you know Sarah, you're an expert on baseball.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Who should Mariner fans Cleveland? So yes, I have now
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: a rooting interest, and so yes.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: I think Cleveland too. Uh, it's kind of six to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 12: one half dozen to me. Yeah, slight lean towards the Guardians.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: I slightly prefer to play them. I mean, there's a
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 12: couple of things about me as a baseball fan this
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: time of the year. And now I'm going back to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: when I was twenty seven, twenty eight years old in
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 12: two thousand and one and two thousand and you know,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 12: ninety five, when I was twenty two, that you start
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: to kind of worry about unreasonable things that you shouldn't
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 12: worry about, right, Like.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: People keep seeing me, well are you cubled twice? Well
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: that's what freaks me out.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 12: That we've already beaten him twice and doing it again
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 12: and maybe a fourth time if you face them twice
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: in the AODS scares the piss out of me. This
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 12: was supposed to be a Tiger baseball team that was
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 12: supposed to be pretty good this year. Yeah, made the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 12: playoffs a year ago and at one point I had
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 12: like a ninety game lead in the Al Central. So
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 12: you know which team's going to show up the team
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 12: that choked like a dog and almost missed the playoffs.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 12: So the team that got you know, got out to
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: a massive lead on everybody. So I tend to dwell
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 12: on the negative this time of the year. Maybe it's
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 12: just a Mariner baseball fan of me. I don't know
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 12: about you guys.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you've got forty nine years of history
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: for that, so that does make sense. I know what
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: you're really rooting for, You're you're you're rooting for.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 12: It would be the Yankees, right, yes, because I want
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: to see a game on Saturday night.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: You don't want you don't want to have to be
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: dividing your time between Husky football. You guys will be
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: a Tom's watch bar and a Mariner baseball game at
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: the exact same time as you get already to do
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: a Husky post game show.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 12: Honestly, it's not even about who's listening who's not listening, because.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: I don't really care. It's about me and which games
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I get to watch and go to.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 12: And I was tell Dick Off the air, I've been
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 12: to a Marinon playoff game in twenty four years because
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 12: I was working the Husky Arizona game for that eighteen
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 12: inning marathon with the Astros. I was at Husky Stadium,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 12: remember looking up at halftime seeing Mitch Hanniger on third
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 12: base and the ninth inning, thinking I can say whatever.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: I want right now.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: Nobody would nobody would hear, and I can violate every
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 12: FCC rule, nobody would care.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: And Mitch, Mitch garrun third or third you probably stranded. Yeah,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: you're probably thinking, Hey, I gotta go to the game.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I gotta go to the game tomorrow right exactly, And
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: that didn't happen.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: I want to go to a game on Saturday night.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 12: What I need, though, is I need to find a
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: way to get from Lower Queen Anne to t Mobile
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: Park at five o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday evening
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 12: before game one of the Alds and two hours before
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 12: a Sounder Timber game.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Let's see tay for me. Well, take out a mortgage,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: a second mortgage for Parker.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 12: And drone I can fly. Is there a drone big
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 12: enough to carry an adult human?
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure? Maybe is there a helicopter around?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Is air forced you next to Komo's Air Force still there?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: They can drop you off, you know, like a glider
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: or something. Is that they still do that stuff. How
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: the actually I think about that, now, how the hell
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: would you do that? How the hell would you get
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: down there?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 12: I well, I'd probably just go down ninety nine. I
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 12: guess I don't know the tunnel. I have no idea.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 12: First avenue and park where I'm well, I park at
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 12: Jimmies first of all, because we're lucky, right.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: That's parking, is the actually, actually you might want to
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: check on that.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: I already have.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 12: Parking is the least of my concerns, all right, concerns
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 12: are fighting traffic. I might be better off taking a
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: ferry to like Alcai and then just going around or
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 12: swimming across across Elliott Bay.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: If they have a passenger ferry. Yeah, absolutely, that'd be
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: a good call.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: That's a hell of an idea. But nobody start that up.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: No, but now you just gave it out. Come pick
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: my ass up. Now you just gave it out.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 12: Now we're going to say, with the old vivers captain's table,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 12: three forty five milliont avenue and drive my ass tembile
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 12: park man.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: So that's the kind of stuff I'm thinking about.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I know, Well, you're rooting hard, hard heart for the
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: for the Yanchees tonight, so good luck for that. All right,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: what are you coming up today?
• 1:07:04

• 1:07:23
  Speaker 12: I are gonna kick this around. Let me ask you
• 1:07:24

• 1:07:27
  Speaker 12: in the first round, no matter what happens the rest
• 1:07:30

• 1:07:32
  Speaker 12: success in your book?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Okay? Bet if they lose in the first round, yes,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: well exectively the second round, but yeah.
