• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I figured it was a celebratory day. You're right, a
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: celebratory day we have. You would hire heading up to
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: the Layla's right after the show, so you know, I'm
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: planning on getting there and starting to gamble and booze
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: and party. Yeah, I don't know time for eating. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: gotta get some nourishment first, yeah, although they do have
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: food there.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Imagine you nourish first, then you can start drinking.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Then you renourish.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Okay, but you got to build the base, right, build
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: your base.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Always renourish, always replenish. Yep.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, always recycle.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: And I have noticed the handful of times that I've
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: done this, there is not much of a line at
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: McDonald's at five am. Yeah, is that right through there?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Tell you what it was? Something else? And I'm a
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: big fan of March Madness mcmuffins. I'm very often eating.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's a wonderful new tradition to begin all.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Rankly, I'm appreciative of you for starting this tradition.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Yep. I'll do it every March Madness tip off day
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Madness starts.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: There you are snacking on your mom in. You're an
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: eating star.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I've never been called anything that I love more than
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: an eating star.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And yeah, well there you go.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Oh well, congratulations, you're our little eating star.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Pinch my cheeks.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Well, the ball is tip today at nine to fifteen
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: will be the first game, So we are going to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: take you till nine o'clock. So even though we're the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: only people working at kJ ARE today, we will get
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: an hour off of our show. So we go till
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock today as opposed to ten. So we've got
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: plenty of things to discuss on today's program. And look,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, March Madness is really just it sort of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is an American holiday in and out itself. I you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I always hear people say we should have the you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: everybody who's a sports fan, you know, wants to say
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that that sporting event is such a national holiday, we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: need that day off. Well, obviously we can't have them
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: all off. Riz wants us to have opening day of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball off. You know, I've heard Ian say
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that we need the Monday after the super Bowl needs
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to be off. And then other people have said for
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a long time that the first couple of days of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: March madness, we should have off, And yet I would
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: push back just from this standpoint, none of you work
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: on this day anyway.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, you get two days off.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about just our people. I mean I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: remember back in the day working in Phoenix, and we'd
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: get done in the mornings, and then we'd go out
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to go watch basketball together and we'd get there and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the entire sales.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Staff would already be yeah yeah, everywhere was packed.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I have to legally get it off.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You take it off right, No one No one's checking
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you and being like who is your is their mouse
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: moving at at eleven am?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The only thing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That that really matters is, you know, we don't need
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a national holiday, because I know because this is the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: only time I've ever gone to a sports bar to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: watch basketball all day long, and half the people are
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: there in suits and ties.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Holy time. So it's not like.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You need it to be recognized by our government as
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a national holiday. You're all taking the day off anyway.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So to me, that's kind of half the fun, trying
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to watch as much college basketball
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: as possible here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Before you know, you go to sleep tonight.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm, yeah, I mean I can just I haven't
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: had a lot of jobs in my life. The one
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: before this, the baseball gig that I was doing. They
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: would give us a little bit of a shorter day
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: on today because they knew that everybody was, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know, had their brackets and everybody wanted to
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: get out and start watching some of the madness because
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: the first couple of days is it's different. It's it's
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: just you're hoping for upsets or you're and you have,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you know, four different games going on at the same time.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: You're constantly watching something and the trickle how it's like
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: one game's coming down to the final few minutes and
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: then another one shortly after that. That whole thing is
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: just it's like this never ending crescendo almost, if you will.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And so it was that we would get a little
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: bit of time off, just a shorter day. But boy,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I remember, instead of the normal milling around in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: clubhouse getting ready, everybody was rock and wrong, because you're right,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, even at that point at noon and you
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: were trying to get out of there, and every bar
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: was going to be packed because no one is working.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much, celebrating pretty much. You like college basketball
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: at all. You're taking You're just taking the Hey, I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: going to head to early lunch today. It's nine o'clock there, Bud.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and I'll be I'll be back for lunch.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: You're health early brunch.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I can't go back into the office now I'm drunk.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I remember when we used to, like early days, when
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I was at the early days of me being at KJR,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: we wouldn't go, we wouldn't leave the office, but we
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: had TVs in everyone's little offices, so we would just
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: gather around the little TVs and watch them in everyone's offices.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And then I think one of the sales people was like, well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: this is dumb. Why don't we market this and have
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: an event at a bar and then we can all
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: go there and then the listeners can come. And then
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: we started going to this sport restaurant. We would do
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the big events there, and yeah, it was packed every
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: single time. Nobody was working these.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Our sales staff have one of those watch party things tonight.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: No, but we're doing that. They're doing that staff party
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: tomorrow tomorrow. Queen and beer.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, so there's a half expectation to work today and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then not at all tomorrow.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That's the madness for you. That's the madness for you,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I tell you. And this is not just you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Know, older guy talking about things were better in my day.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: The bottom line, College basketball was a better product when
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I when we were growing up. When I say we,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I guess more Bucky and I.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It just was.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, the player stayed for three to four years
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and you got to know them, and it was you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it was. I mean there were times during the regular
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: season where there'd be a Thursday night game where you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just didn't leave the house and they'd put it on
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: national television and you'd watch, you know, Ralph Sampson take
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: on Michael Jordan. You know, I mean, it just it
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: just was. It was just it was just a better product,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: more familiar. I mean, it was our probably my second
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: favorite sport when I grew up as a kid. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: yet you know, you don't have the mass television coverage
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that you have today, and so it would start during
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the course of the day. But in my household, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: didn't have cable television. Dad never sprung for cable television,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and we lived out in the you know, a bit
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of the Sticks growing up, and so we would we'd
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: watch it and watch as much as we could, as
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: much as was made available to it. And I say
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we my older brother and I because he's an even
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he's a nutbag basketball fan.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But in general, yeah, in general, yeah, I mean he
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is a Powell.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And so one year we took our first vacation as
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a family ever, again going back to the dad cheap thing,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: so we'd never taken one.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But my grandparents had moved to Florida.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And if you thought my dad was cheap, oh you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: should have met my Grandpa Powell.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah, you know, we used to.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Call them Grandpa Penny and Grandpa Pincher, Grandma Penny and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Grandpa Pincher. And so they had moved to Florida. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: so my dad's like, all right, road trip to Florida.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go, shay, mom and dad. And so we
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: got in the Clark Griswold family station wagon, six children,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and then had it our way down.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And of course all dads have to Like my brother
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Joe said, he made them seventeen hours, so we're gonna
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: make it in sixteen.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: So we start our way down there and never taking
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a vacation, had all sorts of mishaps.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: By the time we get down there, it was like
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: two days later, three days later maybe, and tired.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: We roll in the tournament.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: We were like, my brother and I are panicking, we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: were gonna miss some of the tournament. And we walked
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: into my grandparents' house in Florida. And since when they
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: got down there they started to spend their money, they
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: just didn't want Yeah, they didn't want us.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: To see them spend their money.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, makes sense.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they start spending their money down there in Florida.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So we walk in and they have cable television, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I could not have been more gobsmacked. And at the time,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's how you could watch all the college basketball. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: here we are on our first family vacation in history,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and my brother and I walk in see that Grandpa
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Pincher has sprung for cable. We settled onto the couch.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think we showered anything from the trip. We
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: set on the couch, put our luggage by the couch,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and I don't think we moved. So that's how we
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: spent our vacation. It was like you gotta be kidding me.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: We can watch every single game and that's sort of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: what we did, you know, And Mom's like, are you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: ever gonna go outside?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Like nope, that the tournament is on and it's seen
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: this battery game.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Now, that was true madness back in the day. I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: don't think it's quite as what it used to be,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: but that was true madness.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean times are change and that's for sure,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: but boy, this is something that if you're a hoops fan.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I mean I'm not the biggest hoops fan period. I
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: used to be bigger college and way bigger NBA, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: it still is when it comes around. I mean, when
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: you all of a sudden get to where, Okay, there's
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: this tournament, and this is different than most tournaments because
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: of how many teams they led into the whole thing,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: which kind of dilutes it to some extent, but also
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: brings just the idea of a Cinderella more. It's more,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: it's more possible. I mean, when you have fourteen NFL teams,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: is there really a Cinderella? I mean, I suppose if
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: somebody makes it an eight to nine, then you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: they knock somebody off, but it's not the same as
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: this where it's like every other day you're playing and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: if you all of a sudden, if you know, fifteen
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you knock off a two, I mean, it's a huge
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: that's way bigger story than a number one going out
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: there and dominating by forty in the first round. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: so it's just it's kind of that it's got different
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: factors to it to me that that are exciting, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean, I like, obviously when it
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: gets down to the end, you know, the Elite eight
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and the final four, when you have the best teams
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: and you're you're starting to see the storylines develop of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: who is just kind of coming out of nowhere. You know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: the second you know that the number two guy in
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: this team has been shooting fifty percent from threes, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you're kind of done, usually with the the Cinderella story.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Typically at that point you're just looking at the best.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: That's one part of the tournament. But then right now
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: March Madness. The crazy part is, like I said, the
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: one game after another coming to its conclusion, and you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: when you have some upsets in the works, it's one
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: of those you can't wait to see that. But all
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: of a sudden. You hear cheering over here, and there's
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: another game that's getting closer or a team's taking the lead.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: So it's it's fun. I'm looking forward to watching today.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is my favorite. This is how March. This
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: part of March madness is how three TVs came about
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: in our house. Oh you got to you gotta have
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: all of it. Yeah, yeah, you're cutting yourself short. And
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: then it stuck around the Foreigners run and we were like, well,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: why would.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: We get rid of that?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And can't take Bravo off?
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: You get it?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, below Deck we don't.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Watch below Deck anymore. There there's too many of them,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: more than one.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like below Deck, med below Deck, down under
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: below deck, regular sailing.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: I mean there's too many. Yeah, taking a toll on
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: my mental health.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't. I don't think it's the event that
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I'll just give you an example, Like I got sports
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: talk radio buddies of mine, and we still get together
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: once per year, and just last year we just sat
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: around a few drinks in US And though I'm entertaining
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to rattle off the starting fives of teams that we
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: grew up with in college basketball, and yet those are
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: sports talk radio people, and.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think they could do that for one team
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: in today's game.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So it just kind of shows you, like the love
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: affair and the attachment that you had once upon a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: time with the product because of the familiarity aspect.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if it is quite the event.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I heard a conversation this morning about what's this best
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: single day of sports today, and they were they were
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: all talking about that it's this. I'm not sure it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is anymore. I don't certainly don't think it tops the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I don't think it tops Opening Day in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. I don't think it tops Opening Sunday
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: For a two day stretch during the week.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if I could specify something a two day span
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: during the week, yeah, I would say it's still number one.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But I think there was a time where it was
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: done number one sporting event that we look forward to.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think I don't think that it's even close anymore.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, there I will take a nap today for example.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know, once upon a time down in Florida,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Grandpa Penny and Grandpa Pincher, you know, there was no nap.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I will take a nap today and I'll miss a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: chunk of the action which would have never happened a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: few years ago. But it's still over the course of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the next couple of days, it's still a beloved event.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: It's an excuse to go out in your suit and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: tie to the sports bar watch games. Everybody's on an
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: even keel. You know, you've got just as good a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: chance of winning your bracket as the guy in the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: office that thinks he knows the most of anyone there.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just it's an even playing field for gambling,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and it's.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Just a lot of fun. It's still fun.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's still just as fun as it's ever been, even
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: though it might not be the must see event.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That I think that it once was.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the familiarity to part of it, I think he
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: is probably why, like you said, because it does. It does.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I can just save for myself. There's there's
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: about three or four teams that I know a couple
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: guys on. I mean I'm not I let alone the
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: starting five of you know, five or six, seven, eight
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: teams like it used to be. Just it's I'm not
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: near as familiar with it, and part of that's probably
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: my issue. But the other part of it is if
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the guys don't stay as long, there just isn't that
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: the history of all. I remember this guy from last year,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: even if you hadn't seen him, you saw play through
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: three or four rounds of the tournament. You were like, oh,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I remember that guy from last year. Yeah, that just
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: isn't the way that it happens nowadays. And so you're
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: you're looking at the teams and the blue bloods, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, who's the Cinderellas, And
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: like I said to me, it's the one after another
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: of the finishes that I love. Man.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, the possibility of the upsets.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is fun to watch, just especially in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: a bar like setting with people's bracket. You know, there's
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: a game that could make or break a bracket on
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: day one.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's fun.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and then.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: They're the team that is the favorite narrowly escapes, and
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: everyone's relieved and high fiving, and it's camaraderie.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: It's awesome, it's great.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: We are now under three hours away from the ball
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: is dipped. There you are, You're sitting next to Bucky.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: He's the Eating Star.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I still can only think of jim Nance. But
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: it's a great song.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah pantsless, yeah yeah, yeah, oh no.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, definitely.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Every time you hear that song now, oh.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: He's sitting next to you pantsless in this version of
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: the song though, while.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: He's winning, winning the poo in it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, feeding you not need that Sliders.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Six seventeen in the morning.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: He's got a mock turtleneck on with no pants.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: He's just winning the pooh in it all over the place,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: all over your all over your mentals.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks a lot.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Bring in.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: rest of the show today.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: What's on top?
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: What's on top?
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: First, games going to tip off at nine point fifteen.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: As I said, it will be an eight nine matchup too.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It'll be Ohio State versus TCU, so pretty good to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: even matchup to get us going. And then at nine
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: point forty will be a thirteen seed in Troy taking
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: on number four Nebraska. And as we pointed out earlier
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: this week, neither of those teams, including Nebraska, has ever
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: won an NCAA tournament game. Nebraska eight appearances in the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament have never won one.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Troy's had three.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: AI has already recorded into history that Nebraska wins by seventeen.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So just so you know, I wrote it down.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Here so we'll remember after the game happens.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: The field of sixty four is set. And that's why
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: we can really sink our teeth into this. Miami of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Ohio one last night to prove we belong all along
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: eighty nine to seventy nine winners over SMU. Why was
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there any doubt that they should be in the tournament?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Why do they even have to play a play in game?
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Great question.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Prairie View A and M also won sixty seven to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: fifty five the final over Lehigh. So yes, we now
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: have the field of sixty four and that's a.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Really great perfect number. Shouldn't have one more team than
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: that or one fewer leave it alone.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: NCAA Women's brackets or tournament will start, of course as well.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: This week.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: You'dub taken on South Dakota State. That'll be tomorrow at
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: eleven thirty. Sounders top Vancouver last night. If you didn't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: see it on your MLS schedule, you haven't gone crazy.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It is a CONCACAFF tournament game against another MLS team.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: I still don't get how it works.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I don't either, but it is important, yes, and so yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Sounders do win, and they advance in the CONCACAFF tournament
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: against another MLS team, and they will play an MLS
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: game this Sunday, correct against Minnesota United.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: So they're not staying in the tournament.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: It's just the tournament that gets sporadically placed throughout the season.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But the MLS game, at least on Sunday will not
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: be against a team that's not from the MLS.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, all right right.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Kracking and Predators will play tonight on the road, the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: start of a six game road trip for the Kraken.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: They did lose their last game.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: They have won two of their last three though, so
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: seems to be a pretty pretty crucial six game stretch
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: on the road. I don't want to put a number
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: on how games that they need to win, because this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: team never ever makes sense.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: So I mean, we could say, oh, you gotta win
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: two out of four, and then they don't, and then
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: they go on a seven game.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Winning streak and it didn't matter what we said about
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: how important the road trip was. So I'm gonna stop
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: attaching things like that to the Kraken great good idea.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: They're an outlier and.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: They'll take on the Predators tonight at five o'clock. Mariners
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: spring training Julio is back in Peoria. I would imagine
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that the Venezuelan Mariners and the American Mariners will be
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: returning today to the facility. JP Crawford got a courtA
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Zone shot yesterday and his ailing shoulder, and that was
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: reported as good news. We'll have to talk to Bucky
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: about that a little bit later on. And we are
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: six days away from the start of the season. By
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the way, there is another really cool Major League Baseball
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: event that starts today. So you go from the WBC
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: just getting everybody back and then they start the Spring Breakout,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: which is this new event that they introduced a couple
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of years ago that just showcases all the top prospects
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: in the game. So that starts today, starts today at
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock. Three day event, actually four days. It tucks
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: into Sunday as well. Four day event in which the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: top prospects in all of Major League Baseball will be
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: playing games against one another. For the Mariner's part, they
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: will be taking on the Brewers at two o'clock tomorrow,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: two o'clock tomorrow, and that is a matchup of two
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of the best farm systems in the entire sport. I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: think MLB Pipeline just rated the Brewers as the best
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: farm system in the entire sport, and the Mariners are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: around the best as well. So fun, I love this event.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: And so you go from WBC into the Spring breakout
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and before you know it, it's going to be Opening Day.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that, we count down the days till Opening
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Day with a very important opening day question that this
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: show has yet to discuss this entire spring.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: We'll do it next.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: actually introduced it to me.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's because it's verbiage people.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Understand because the way it has to be a lot.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Of people are confused. Do you count this day or
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: do you count the next day?
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, I need sleep six sleeps, yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, six sleeps.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Opening day bunting. When do you start putting your bunting up?
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: It's been up for a week.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: We're gonna have oh really yeah? Yeah, a bit premature
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: and celebration.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I got swaddled in it last night.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Nicorn, I would have held me in her arms and
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: swallowed bunting and bunting.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if I would have brought in March Madness mcmuffins
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: two weeks ago, would that have been right?
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Or you can't have the mcmuffins early. But the bunting,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: it's like a Christmas tree. You don't put Christmas trees
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: up on Christmas.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: No, you got around Halloween.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving, Halloween, Jesus, Well, good morning to you. Yes, next Thursday,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: we'll be down at Jimmy's on First Star annual tradition
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to welcome in the Major League Baseball season.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Cannot wait for it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: And one conversation we've not had, and I give our
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I give the show credit for the restraint that we've shown,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: because people were talking about this months ago, trying to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: figure this out. I think I think Purple Sheet brings
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it up damn near every meeting on a Monday. But
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: we have not brought this annual sports topic up yet.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are at the one week mark,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and I think that we dusted off who's your opening
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: day starter for the Mariners, who's taking them ount, who
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you're giving the ball to on opening Day?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: I'm giving it to Wu.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's not like Logan didn't pitch well.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I mean pitched well, but didn't pitch as well. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: the year before, I mean it was Luis Castillo and
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: then and then he passed the torch or have handed
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the ball literally to Logan Gilbert last year. I think
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: you do the same thing. I think you can keep
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: that little bit of like you know, inside the clubhouse competition,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: like of who gets it is who earns it, you know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I mean who last year pitched like the ace Brian
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Wou so to me, you know, if all things considered,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: everybody's healthy and you know, and starts the season on
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: track where they're supposed to be. Brian Woo's the dude
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: that I'm giving the rock to the first.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Day, Ashley, I think, I mean, I definitely understand the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: argument for Brian Wu, and I wouldn't be surprised if
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: he gets it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: But I do feel like.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: The Mariners are a little bit of a team of tradition,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: and I mean like Luis Castillo got the ball, got
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the ball, got the ball even maybe the year when
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: he's the thirty year, I think it was when he
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: could have been debatable if he should have gotten it
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: or not.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: So I think they're going to give it to Logan again.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I think Logan Againeah, I don't really know what they're
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: going to do.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised they gave it to Kirby.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, when we got to the playoffs
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: last year, who did they give the ball to?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: We were all saying, Oh, you.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Gotta go with a veteran Castillo, or you gotta go
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: with Gilbert Gilbert is your best strikeout pitcher, or you know,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and they went with Kirby.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Ye.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: When given the chance to this is the game we
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: have to have, they went with George.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And maybe they'll do that again. Maybe it's all right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: There's Castillo and he's in a category by himself, but
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: he's already relinquished the opening day starter, Crown and the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: other four guys that we have, or maybe the other
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: three guys, WU, Kirby, and Gilbert, we kind of consider
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: them the same. So maybe they give it to Kirby.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I'd give it to Wu. To me, I'm I'm gonna
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: give it to the person that's coming off the best
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: season from the previous year. I'm going to reward them
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: with that opportunity, and so I would give it to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Brian Wu myself.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But I have no idea what they're going to do.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, And I think there's even an
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: element Bucky, And as crazy as this sounds, I think
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: there's even an element of Wu might be a bigger
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: health risk. You might worry about him getting through an
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: entire season, So they might even try to buy three days,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: as crazy as that sounds at the beginning, and go
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: with one of the horses who might have to start
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: one more game this year. I think that they break
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: it down that granularly. I don't think that they should,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't even be surprised if that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Factored into the conversation.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean I don't I think that Luis
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Castillo's time, IFO we were going to do kind of
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: a deduction thing. I think Louis Castillo's time as the
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: starter here is coming gone, and so it's between the
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: other four. Well, Bryce Miller obviously coming off the injury
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: and then being injured, he's not even gonna be ready,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: so he's out of the mix. And so I think
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: it's Wu Logan and I think Kirby's in there because
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: of what you said. They just chose to use him
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: in the biggest game of the season. That was also
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: because Wu wasn't healthy, right, Yes, it's because if Wo's healthy,
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I actually was, that's for sure last year. I would
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: think that's for sure who was going. And if you
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: go based on you know, usage, who was healthiest last year?
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Who made the most starts Brian Wu? I mean not
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: only were his numbers the best, he made the most
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: starts he had. I think it was fifty innings more
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: than anybody, with the exception of Luis Castillo, who made
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: even two more starts than him, But he he had
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: more innings than Luis Castillo even too fewer starts, so
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: to me, I mean, you know, Logan Gilbert last year
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: had one hundred and thirty one innings, Brian who had
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty six. I get what you're saying
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: that that one eighty six ended up being too many
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: when it came down to the end of the year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: And so would they be like who's built more for
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: the long haul, a bigger injury history, And I don't
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: know if they baby him even buying three days here
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: having him be the four starter coming out of the
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: All Star break they do stuff like that. Yep, you know, yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: we were sure that, we've been sure, like two three
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: years in a row, that you would use the All
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Star break to reset your starting rotation so you have
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: your best sky to start the second half.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And they've never done.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't I don't understand that. What happens coming out
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: of that, Well.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: If you we go based on just the recent part,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I mean looking at the spring training stats up to
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: this point, and all of these starters basically stayed. None
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: of them went to the WBC anywhere. Louis Castillo, Logan
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Gilbert both have four starts, and everybody else has three.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Of the people that we're talking about that are in
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: the mix for this thing. Yeah, So, I mean I
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: think that if they started spring training where they're like, Okay,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: here's how we were going to plan this thing out. Well, Frankly,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Gilbert your starter, Louis Castille's your two, and then you're
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: going on Kirby you know, wu whatever.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Frankly, they're on such a tight schedule see Trek Scooble
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that they probably we probably could figure it out based
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: on where they're at with their rotation in spring training,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: like who times out to be the guy that is
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: scheduled to pitch the next day on opening day. We
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: probably could figure it out right now, maybe, I mean
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: we will do that.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: We'll do that, We'll provide service for you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: We did also put a poll up on x to
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: see who our listeners think will be the starter.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: So early results are Brian wu Is is leading.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Second, and because you don't get no votes right.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Now, we're like Jim Nance, we all want to make whoopie.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's two segments in a row that you're
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: bringing that.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: My, how many more we can do it?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Coming up next? W n b A got pay raises.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: You know what that means? Easier to seduce Jim Nance.
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: Yes, doesn't even make any sense, Yes it does.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, he always has been more interested in women with
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: more money.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it.

• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Seahawks football here this morning. As yesterday on the program,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: we talked about the possibility of the Seahawks being interested
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: in Devin h Chan of the Miami Dolphins actually mentioned
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that the Dolphins are denying that he's even available, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: they went a little further out of their way to
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: stamp down on that yesterday. They're claiming that he's untouchable
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: at this stage in the process, that he's not even available,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: so those that are calling you can stop calling, and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: those that are fantasizing about Devin h Chan in your
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: starting lineup, he's going to remain a dolphin where we
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: can ruin the next couple of years of his career.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: And yet, and the.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Words of Ron Burgundy, I don't believe you, Yeah, yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think you go to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: all this trouble of rebuilding to then hold on to
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a guy that you are pretty much admitting we're going
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to have to either franchise tag next year or give
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: him a ridiculous salary. Do you realize the leverage that
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: they give Devon ah if they don't trade him, If
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you're going to keep him as a building block at
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: twenty four years old with one year left on his contract.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I heard I read Joel Cory yesterday, who's
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the capologist to you know for CBS. He basically has
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: created a career out of being a NFL capologist, as
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: a as a media member. And he said, if I'm
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: because he used to be an agent, he said, if
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I'm debn ah Chan's agent right now, I am flexing
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the You're going to pay me top of the market
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: money right now, If I'm that valuable to you, you're
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: going to extend me right now, We're going to be
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: asking for about twenty million dollars a year.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: So that's that's what he said that he would do
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: So I realize that they're saying that, but I still
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: believe that it's leverage. It's hard for me to believe
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that you're going to sell off every part that you
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: have of any value, go into a rebuilding effort, and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: then decide that the one piece that we can't part
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: with is a running back. Well, we've probably already over
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: used at this stage of his career because he's one
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five pounds and we decided to run
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: in between.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: The guards for two straight seasons.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's been healthy. He's got a
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: lot of wear and tear, but he has seemed to
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: hold up to it to some degree. But that's it's
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: just a matter of time, right, I mean, especially playing
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: that position, it's just a matter of time until that
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: does not work anymore and you have this year to
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: move him. Otherwise you're in You're in a bidding war
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to some degree with with everybody else, depending on what
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: they would want to do. I don't. I don't understand it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why you would make a running back
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: the thing that I mean if you have a young
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: quarterback and then you realize, wow, we got some overpriced
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: receivers or we have some other things that we need
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: to get rid of some of this money and kind
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: of start anew and we can do it, you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: turn this thing over in a year or two, and
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: we still got this young quarterback. Well that makes sense, right.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: You don't rebuild if you're going to tear it down
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: to the studs, you don't, you know, leave whatever the
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: refrigerator in the room, Like, well, let's just keep that
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: old refrigerator. You know, we're going to remodel the whole
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: house to just keep the refrigerator in there. No, you
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: get a new fridge, but I really like the refrigerator. Yeah,
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: well but the fridge state of the art for refrigerator.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just got an emotional connection.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's kept my food fresh for so long.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you might need to know one if you
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: can get something for that refrigerator at this point in time.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: So to me, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: and so I'm I'm with you like that. You can
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: say it all you want. It's one of two things.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Either you're lying because you want to keep his value up, right,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: you're saying he's not touchable, but you still answer the
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: phone call. Right, But now I said he's untouchable. Well,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: there's everything has a price, that's true, So you're doing that,
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: or you're just making a mistake and you're building not
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: that he's not a good player, you just you just
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: don't where you're at right now. That's not a thing
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: you need. You don't need a you know, one of
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: the better running backs on the last year of his
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: on track that you have used. I mean, he has
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: played just about every single game since he's been a
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Miami Dolphin, and you've been running him inside the tackles
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: even though it's a small, shifty, home run hitter. So
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know. To me, it doesn't make a whole
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: lot of sense. So we'll see if they're actually telling
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: the truth or not.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's the thing.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: When Adam Scheffer came out with that, oh that the
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Dolphins are saying he's not available, I was like, you're
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: speaking for the Dolphins because they want to drive this
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: price up, and because everybody wants what they can't have,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: so if all of a sudden he's unavailable, he becomes
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: a heck of a lot more desirable.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, try to drive the price up. And I get,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I get if you're in a rebuilding.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: They clearly are. And they got a new regime there.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: They got a new head coach and the new general manager,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and and you know, they've they've been struggling for a
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: long time, like decades to try to get this thing
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: right again, and they're starting from scratch again to try
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to do it the right way.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that the way to do it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Is to let's identify one guy on our roster that's untouchable,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and it's a twenty four year old, one hundred and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: ninety pound running back that we're gonna use the crap
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: out of for one more year, yeah, and then and
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: then be forced to either franchise, tag him or overpay him.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah that's because that's what Yeah, truly, that's.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: What you're gonna do.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Like, if you're gonna keep him for one more year,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna obviously try to keep him long term,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: right yep, Because you're not gonna win this year with him, definitely, Okay,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna try to keep him long term. And
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna keep him long term, you're gonna have
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to pay more than other people are gonna be willing
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: to pay him. And other people are gonna be willing
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to pay him a lot because he could be a
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: final piece to another team. He's not a first.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Piece for any team.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so you're either gonna have to sign him
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: way over his value going forward where he's already had
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: concussion issues and everything else, or you're gonna have to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: franchise tag him. And what a terrible way to announce
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to your star player, we want to keep you. So
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're going to we're gonna
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: prohibit you from maxing out your value right now by
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: making you a Dolphin for another year.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: And that's after we made you play with no one
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: on your team, yeah, for a year.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't make any sense. So if you were like, well,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: we gave it a shot, No Seahawk fans on Twitter,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: we gave it a shot. We all expressed an interest
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in Devin h Chan, but they told us no, no,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I'd go back to that house again and knock to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: see if they have some candy, because I think Devin
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: h Chan is going to be.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Traded before the draft. Yeah period. Yeah, I mean Max
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Crosby will be traded again too. Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it seems like that one I feel
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: less confident in just simply because it feels like they
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: kind of got to still do all that stuff and
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: then it, well, what do you know? Fit this guy
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: underneath our cap? But yeah, I'm with you. I think
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: the a chain thing would be a mistake if they
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: don't trade him.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on the radio program, something happened yesterday
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball transaction wise that I would think
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: surely surprises Mariner Fans Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: kJ R FM.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Wow. I don't know if he's that You think he's
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: that excited about it. I think he's that excited.
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: Wow, that's different.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's that excited about it because Rob Manford
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: really doesn't care that the rest of us that have
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: loved baseball our entire lives really only an emergencies want
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: to sort of change it. And I get that it
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: has to change, It has to evolve and he's done
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: some nice things.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: He's really as he really has. I gotta give him credit.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: For a guy that hates baseball, he's added some nice
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: things to the sport here lately. It's been on a
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: little bit of a role here as of late. But man,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: that look in his eye, that wild look in his
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: eye that he had at the end of the WBC
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: handing out those second place medals to people that didn't
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: want them and those first place medals to those people
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that were willing to. He finally got treated like Roger
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Goodell at the draft. And he's been waiting for this
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: for a decade. He wanted to get hugged by a
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: player voluntarily, and he got hugged throughout the evening and
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: thank you Commissioner, and didn't get booed. And you could
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: just see the look in his eye. Oh, I am
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: going to take this WBC the distance.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make seven tournaments next year.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Oh god, I have one every.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: Month in season tournaments.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, every Wednesday throughout the baseball season.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be country versus country.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, impossible.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, we'll figure it out. That's what AI is for.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Oh no, But didn't you get them press.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I mean he was already talking about like change in
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the schedule five minutes after the tournament was over. I
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: mean he was bragging the day of the championship about
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the ratings and what a huge runaway at success it was.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: The dude's just slobbering at the mouth right now. He's
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: tight in his pants, he's got glassy eyes, and he's
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: got vengeance on his mind. All of those that have
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: tried to get in his path before. There's no good.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I got the numbers to support me. I'm changing everything.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Oh great, great?
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't know. There there was a
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: lot of fervor behind there was a lot of excitement,
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: a lot of viewership. I mean, I think the Dominican
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: US Game I had more viewers than the Major League
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Baseball All Star Game did last year. I don't know
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: if that's saying a ton I don't. I don't think
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: everybody logs on for the All Star Game or any
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: All Star game.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: But to get a seven million, seven million viewers, yeah,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: on a March where normally we're playing spring training, right,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: and you're getting and instead you're getting you know, that's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: just for one game, right, You're getting tens of millions
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: of viewers on baseball in the month of March, which
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: is usually a.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a dead dead zone. Yeah that sport. Yeah, yeah, No,
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: I mean I can see why you want to. I
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: can see why baseball and a bunch of other sports,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: primarily baseball, would want to go more international or kind
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: of dive into that. I mean, if he's never been
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: to him because he does hate baseball, I don't know
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: if he's ever been to Venezuela or Dominican for a
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: baseball game, but if you go there one time, you
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: recognize the difference. It is a it is different, the
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: amount of passion that those fans have. You know, here,
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: you you get a ticket, no matter what team you
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: play for. You sit anywhere you want. The stands not there.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: You sit on the side where you're dugouts at, dugouts
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: at and you don't go wander in the other side
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: unless you want to get pelted with beers and empty cups.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: And yeah, and maybe more, it could be more. As
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: a matter of fact, there's a reason that they have
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: like officers with dogs and machetes, and it's it's it's
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: there's some bad stuff can happen if you wander onto
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: the wrong side. Now, they'll do it every once in a while,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: we'll run across with a flag and they get pelted
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: and their bands going. So it's kind of in fun
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: to some degree, but there's an there's a danger aspect
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: of it as well that's based on the passion and
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: a little bit of the third world part of things.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I don't I'm not surprised. Yeah, yeah,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: a lot like Brighton. I'm sure like Friday night Lights
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: at Brighton, boy, you don't go on the wrong side there, machets,
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: And so, I mean, I can see why he would
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: recognize the passion that most certainly in the Latin American countries,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: the big time boost that we're seeing out of the
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: out of Japan and Asian countries as far as their
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: talent wanting to come over and play, and so why
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: not tap back into those, you know, into those markets.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: I get it. On the flip side, let's not screw
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: up something that's going on already. And yet I am fearful,
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: I'm fearful with you that he's there's a lot of
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: people he's trying to appease that just don't like it's
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: the season's too long. So I wouldn't be surprised if
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: he's like, we're gonna cut it down to one hundred
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: and forty game schedule and we're gonna have a WBC
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: tournament in the middle of every year. Something where he
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: changes something that completely changes the history books. Yeah, the
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: record books, because he doesn't really like the sport.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: I would hate that.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I would too, and I think a lot of I
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: think a lot of American baseball fans certainly would as well,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: because again, same conversation we've been having. We were just
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: raised that MLB's that's that's the that's what we root for.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: It's our MLB team. And I get why other countries
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: root for the national team. I understand that. I understand
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: why Julio said that that's a bigger deal. Get it,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent, get it. But this is still an
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: American league. You know, every team is in America, with
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the exception of one one Canadian team, and so that's
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: still gonna be your you know, your fan base of
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: selling the tickets to and and watching you on television.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: And to me, it feels like Rob Manford's every move
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: is to try to get try to bring in and
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: try to appease the people that don't like the game,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: like he's trying to change their minds, yeah, to like
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the game. And at some point you cross over into
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: pissing off those that have always liked the game and
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of them a little bit. So I'm I'm
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: a little worried about it. I saw that glassy look
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: in his eye. He's got something in mind, and it's
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: a lot more than just maybe we do this at
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: the All Star break. Oh No, he's thinking on a
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: much bigger scale.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: How big?
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I have no idea personally, and this is just me
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: having grown up a Major League Baseball fan. I don't
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: want to see one more pitch of international competition.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: This was great, and let's build off that and let
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: it be and every three years. You want to do
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: it every two years, every two years spring training event
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: that we can grow every single year because we've never
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: gotten numbers before.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: In March.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I don't need to see it shifted to the July,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: busting up the All Star Game. There's nothing really wrong
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: with the All Star Week right now. Home run Derby
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: gets huge viewership. The game itself is a pretty good game,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and I thought the whole idea behind it was to
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: give players a break right in the middle of a streak, right.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: In the middle of a long season.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: This is why when we play the All Star Game
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, we don't resume again until Friday. Once upon
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: a time, they resume the very next day in some cases,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: but we give them so that the All Stars also
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: get a couple of days off before they have to
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: return to the grind of the second half. So I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: don't want to see it during the All Star Week, and.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want I want to see I really I
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: don't even personally want to see him playing in the Olympics.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I saw.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I think this is enough. I don't want to see
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: one more pitch of international competition. Let the WBC grow
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: and develop every single year. And that's all right with me,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: But I'll guarantee you it's not alright with Rob Manfred No.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: The dude. I mean, it's pretty much with everything, but
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: most he'll will certainly jump in line for this that
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: when you have something good, people want to be like, well,
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: let's see how we can make a better instead of
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: just being happy with it being good. I mean, it
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: was actually more than good. It was great.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It was great. It was great.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, the atmosphere of those games from the quarterfinals
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: on was was amazing. It's better than any You can't
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: achieve that in a spring training game most certainly so.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: You brought something that is like a little kickstart.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: You really can't even achieve some of those elements in
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: a World Series. I get that, right, But it's special,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: it's different, it's unique, and there is a place for it,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: and it's called in March and obad they are going
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: to keep it and try to grow it, but let's
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: not expand it, right.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: I think that there's ways that maybe you can change
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: the timing of it. But then again, the timing of
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: it at the beginning of the season is, like I said,
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: a kickstart. It's a jump start. It's a boy. If
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: that doesn't wet your whistle for getting ready for a
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: baseball season that starts now a week away from the
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: end of that, I don't know what does. Whereas would
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: it fall flat going after the World Series? Right when
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: people are getting ready to start playing winter ball, their
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: arms are in shape, if they're dinged up or they're hurt,
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: they're not going to play in it. Anyways, but it's
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: not affecting your major league baseball season to some degree,
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Rob Manfred. And this is where the fear comes in.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: I think with you, and it wist certainly with me.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Is he would be kind of okay with sacrificing possible
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: things during the major league baseball season if he gets
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: some giant boost before the major league baseball season. So
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: the risk of throwing pitchers out there that aren't really
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: ready to rock and roll, and you know, we know
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: that the team's like, hey, keep them on this pitch limit,
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: or hey, don't pitch them two days in a row.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: But we saw like with Team Venezuela there that was it.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: The Cubs that play the closer plays for the Cubs,
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: and the Cubs are like, don't pitch him two days
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: in a row. And he goes to the Cubs like, hey,
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I want to do right by you. This is once
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: in a lifetime trying to win the WBC for Venezuela.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Come on, we really he wants to come on, he's good,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: all right, let him go. Well that's a risk that
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of organizations don't want to take.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: But they still was a It wasn't just he can
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: pitch to Day only if it's a save opportunity. Yeah,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: that was the rule, so they weren't letting him. And
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I bet you the Cubs thought us is.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Gonna win, right, right.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Right, They're gonna win like seven to four, Right, it's
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be fine.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: So there's not where, all right, you can pitch if
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: it's in a safe situation, probably thinking there's a twenty
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: five percent chance it's gonna be a safe situation. Probably
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: what they were thinking, thirty five percent chance is gonna
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: be a safe situation. There was a safe situation, so
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: he was used. Again, they have the same rules on
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: both sides, same thing. Because everybody's coming down on d
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: ro for not using Mason Miller. Lopez was operating to
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the same rule with Palencia that DeRosa was operating with Miller,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and that is, you can use him, but only if
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it's to win the game, if it's in a safe situation.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: That's why Miller didn't pitch the ninth when it was tied.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we'll see. I mean, I'm curious, I don't know.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: I hope that he doesn't do anything drastic, and yet
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he just takes
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: it and it's like, well, this is great. I'm gonna
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: make it the greatest thing ever.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Well, and especially when you have i mean the yeah,
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: the hype of the crowd and everything, and I mean
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: even Aaron Judge said this is bigger and better than
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: the World Series, which coming from Aaron Judge was an
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: odd thing to say. And I know that Yankee fans
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: aren't really happy that he said it, but and Derek
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Jeter wasn't happy he said it either. But I mean,
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's a prisoner of the moment because it
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: was such a success and the games were great, and
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: you know, the level of competition was everything you could
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: have wanted it to be.
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: And so in this moment, it's like, yeah, how to
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: make it bigger? But you can't.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: If you start putting it in the middle of the
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: year or whatever, try to do it every year, you're
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: gonna just just like you're gonna water it down.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Well, and I don't know, Well, the idea would be,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and this one they're kicking around the lot is that
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: you do it in the spring, but then you do
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: the finals.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: During the All Star break. Oh, so you would play three.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Games plus the All Star game, Yeah, and the home
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: run Derby and just make it a whole week. So
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: now you're going to instead of having an All Star break,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: you're going to be asking some players to play three games.
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that'd be a lot, right, Yeah.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: And also I think there is an element of I
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: get it that the pitchers are warmed up by that
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: point and can go seven eight innings, So you don't
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: have to stay Paul schemes out in the fourth because
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: he's had a pitch count, because he's still in March.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: But I would bet there are a lot of I mean,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Jerry and Justin used that break to like get a
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: couple of days rest for the long haul, and now
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to in the middle of a season, tack
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: on one more long start max throwing. And now it's
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: not we're going to get you out after so many pitches.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Now you can go as long as we want you
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: to go. Now you can go seven eight innings.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: That was the idea, is that if you play it
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: in the summer, when everybody's all the pitchers are in
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: mid season form, that Paul Skeins can go the distance.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: If it works within I'm.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, pitch I can't say because he's still going
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: to screw up his place in a rotation, right.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: So, but you wouldn't be getting to use the All
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Star break at all for what it was truly designed for,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and that was to give teams a little bit and
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: players a little bit of a break in the middle
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: of the season.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: So and I don't know where when else to play it.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think they would, let I mean, what they.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Probably should come up with, since the NFL always does
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: this to everybody else, try to find a moment in
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the National Football League season where they have something that
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: they're really proud of and put the WBC up against it.
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: So the nightiving just kidding.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I don't know.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, just on that the the
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: middle of the season, during the All Star break, I'll
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: just say, I mean, I didn't necessarily at that point
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: feel like I needed a break. Now some people do,
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: I would say, I mean, I didn't feel like the
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: All Star break was like, you know, breath of fresh air,
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: because it just I don't know, maybe maybe I'm weird
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: and I just was. I was kind of always chomping
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: at the bit to be out there playing. And when
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: you make the All Star team, it's top You'll get
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: a day off here and there, but you kind of
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: like the home run derby and then you like the
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: game being played and it's it isn't all that crazy.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: The pitching part of it. On the other hand, if
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, we're going to say it's Paul
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: Skiings for example, Now, the Pirates by the All Star
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Breaker usually out of it, so they don't really care.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: But if you're if you have a Pulse Skiings type
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: and you're expecting to make the playoffs, and now you're
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: needing to change his your rotation to make sure he's
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: ready for the All Star Break, and then you're also
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: not going to get to use him right coming out
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: of the All Star Break. Right, That's not something I'm
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: sitting here thinking to myself. Then the next one, Brian
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Wu is the guy that they're like, hey, we want
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: to start this guy in the semi finals of the WBC,
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: so can you not pitch him the last day before
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: the All Star break? Screw that? So I don't want
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: it again. This is where I don't want Manfred and
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: his glassy eyed you know, is bulging his pants. I
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: don't want him getting too excited and thinking that he
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: needs to change it. That's going to change the season,
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: because the season is more important than the WBC. Even
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: though the WBC is awesome, we just got to witness it.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: It's its own thing. It's different. It's an international competition,
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: it's a seven game thing. And so if you want
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: to split it up to where the timing could be better,
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: because I think it is a distinct difference between whether
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: or not Paul Schemes can go four innings or five innings,
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: or whether he can go seven because of where you're at,
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: the timing of it before the season, before he stretched
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: out it most certainly different. I mean you're talking about
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: the difference in the game possibly, So to me, I
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: would I would like the idea of entertaining to different
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: timings of this whole thing, because I don't think it's perfect.
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think the timing to win it's done is perfect. Yeah,
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: but I'm not one hundred percent sure if any of
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: these other options aren't without faults or exact mistakes exactly.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: So it's grabbed its foothold. I think the success of
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: it this year announced to the world. Wow, this is
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: really fun. This is different. This is unlike any kind.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Of baseball that we've ever watched before.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: So let's just grow it where it is right now,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: because I think that it does have a great growth opportunity.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to spread it too Then.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: How about throwing it in with the rest of the
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: playoffs Once you get down to like the Championship Series
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: right where you only have two games going on to
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: get to the World Series, you throw it in there.
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: Now anybody that's it's like the Pro Bowl what it
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: used to be. If you were in the Super Bowl,
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: you didn't play in it, So you're not going to
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: have some You're not gonna have two teams worth of superstars.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: Whoever would be on those teams aren't gonna be on
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: Venezuela or US that's playing in the World Series. But
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: everybody else would still be ready to rock and roll.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: The season's over. If you're dinged up, you're hurt, you're
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: not playing an it. Maybe that's a you're adding to
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: You're adding to the boost of the postseason, because I
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: think a lot of people, because of the regionality of baseball,
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: once your teams knocked out of the playoffs, some people
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: are no longer paying attention. But maybe you would recapture
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: the whole international flavor of the whole thing, and that
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: might even bolster more people wanting to watch the World Series. Yeah.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, I mean I just.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: Popped in my head that might be a horrible idea
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: of it. Thought, it's right.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: No, if you got two built in days off in
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: the World Series, then you could play two of the games,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and then when the World Series ended, which it could
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: end in four or five games though.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then you tacked one on at the end of it.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe that is a way they could go.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I just feel like this.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: It's this isn't a great spot for it, and I
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: get it, but it's probably the.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Best spot for it. And it was I don't know
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: where else are you going to put it?
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: And it's good. We don't need to mess with something
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: that's good.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: You let it be good the way it is right now,
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: and then eventually, sure if you come up with some
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: other plan. But I mean, don't you can't just sit
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: there smoking a cigarette in bed looking at the World
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Series or the World Baseball Classic thinking yeah, that was
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: really great. Yeah, now I can't wait to do it again.
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: You're picture man in bed? Yeah, oh see why Yeah, actually,
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: both of that's horrible.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah right now.
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: In between.
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: Halfway up their bodies. So I'm not seeing anything inappropriate.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, but it really has caused our imaginations to
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: run while it's horrible that much.
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you doing that.
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're welcome.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he's not gonna stop. Fortunately, he's just about done.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: But you know what he's wanting to do before he leaves.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: He wants to make that big impact so people talk
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: about him forever.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: He's going to try to get.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: A salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement. And
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: if he does that, which no one's ever been able
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: to achieve in his position in baseball exactly, and then
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: if he'll probably try to expand this.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: That's probably what he's going to try to do.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Those are probably going to be the last two things
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: that he tries to achieve as Commissioner of Major League Baseball.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: So just warning you, just warning, here we go. But again,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's good business to just I
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: don't think it's just good as a human being to
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: do things for the people that don't like you, right,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: don't run your business or your personal life to try
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: to win over those that don't like you at the
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: expense of those who love you.
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: That is not good business, you are right or goodness?
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Imagine a few You're like Kate, Look, I can't spend
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: time with you and the kids because my neighbor on
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: the road, ed wights me.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: He hates me, and I gotta win him over.
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that wouldn't work out very well.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Coming up next? Oh gosh, I needed time to set
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: this up. We introduced a brand new segment last week.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: It's just called sup Ashley came up with it. It
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: is opening up the text line. We might expand this
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: into the future to be more than once a week. Hell,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: maybe more than once a show. I'm not sure. But
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: let's just take one baby step at a time. Four
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: nine four five one. What we're looking for just questions
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: for the show, and they can be about sports, something
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: we haven't covered today, maybe a follow up question about
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: what we just discussed. Maybe it's about our personal lives.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna shy away from any topic. You can
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: go ahead and send us a text at four nine
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: four five one and start it off.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: With suck Buck or sup Chuck or sup ash and
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: then give us your question.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: We'll field some of them next right here on Sports
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM. However depraved you
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: are or want to be, what do you got back there?
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Ashley?
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: All right, I've got let's see. Where's the first one
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: I wanted to do? Oh yeah, Buck? Do you think
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: that Kirby actually prefers throwing the Garver or was that
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: just an excuse to get Garver some time?
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: Guys wanted to ask that question for a long long time.
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: No way, no way that he would prefer to pitch
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: to Garver. I mean, is a picture you want I
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: think watch?
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: I don't think. I know for a fact the pitcher
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: wants to go out and win. I know people saber
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: metric people think that wins don't matter. Pitchers care. Pitchers
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: want to get the win. That's why they're pissed if
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: they get taken out with four and two thirds innings.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: That's why if they leave with the lead and the
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: sixth inning and the reliever comes in and gives up
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: a run for him, they stay on the rail and
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: watch and they are mad they gave up their runs
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: and took them off the hook. And then that guy
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: goes back on the offense comes out scores and they're
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: vulture and they take their win from them. No pitchers
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: like that. Now, if you're a pitcher, would you rather
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: have a guy that's better at catching, framing, blocking, throwing,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: Oh andy helps your offense, which would you rather have?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: It's fair, Yeah, it was playing as well. We got
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: to get Garver in there, and we got to give
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: cal a day off. So Kirby and him obviously had
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: a good enough report. I don't think Garva is horrible
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: behind the dish, but he's obviously it's a downgrade as
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: far as the other half of the game that you play.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: And so no, I don't think Kirby. I think it's
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: more of a hey who who likes him? And I
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: think there was times when Castillo didn't mind throwing to him,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: had some success thrown to him, and there was times
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: when Kirby did. But I guarantee both of them would
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: rather have Cow's bat in the lineup when they're when
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: they're when they're on the mount.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: I think they all preferred him though, to Zaballa.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's fair.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, Chuck, I'm an old time listener from your
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: days in Arizona.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: Why do you hate Keanu Reeves so much.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: Don't anymore. Oh, I did because I.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Thought he was the most highly paid person who was
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: bad at his job. Like per dollar, he was the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: worst at his job. And I still think he's a
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: dreadfully bad actor.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: Nicholas Cage has his moments too.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Uh well, Nicholas Cage has won awards, yas Cage has
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: been really good moments of some. He's got some good movies, Yeah,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: he does. I agree, he's been really good in movies.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Keanu Reeves has never been good in a movie.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: He's a bad actor.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: So I always I was very critical of him back
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: in Arizona, made fun of him a lot, and then
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I find out that he's basically the best human being
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: that's ever lived. Yeah, so I've had to completely back
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: off of that.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: I just watch his movies because I think I owe
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: it to him anybody that apparently is.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: That overall wonderful.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll pay to watch your movies since you're doing
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: such good things out there in the world.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: So I had to completely back I didn't know.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't know he was such a saint when I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: was criticizing back then. But you know, I will put
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: I will prioritize different things.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: Now, that's fair, that's fair.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: I've got sup ash is drinking on the air accepted
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: in radio because in most professions it's frowned upon. But
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: do you guys really drink on the air or just
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: pretend to on Fridays Duran Bouz News, We really do
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: drink on the air. It's only frowned upon if you're
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: pushing all the buttons. And that's why Christopher Kidd comes.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: In, Yeah, because he doesn't drink. Yeah, and he actually
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: is responsible.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, And I wouldn't be able to drink if I
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 6: was in here running the board.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually like illegal. Yes, we can't do that.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: But and I don't think that it's really smiled upon.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: Now we drink, I mean on the show, and Dick
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: do it when they go to their events half the time.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, yeah, yeah, those are the rules.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 6: Uh, we've got well, okay, this is an interesting one.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, suck Buck.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: If the Seahawks gave you an opportunity to raise the
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: twelfth Man flag, would you do it and switch your
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: allegiance from the Broncos to.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: The Oh wow, no, I'll raise it. I'll get the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: crowd hyped up.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: Would you wear a Seahawks jersey to do it?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Uh? Probably would have to do that. I don't hate
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks just I mean, I have one number one
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: team and everybody else is like in double digits, they're
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: down the list.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: No, I would not switch my allegiance. Would I wear
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: a Seahawks jersey shirt? That's never gonna happen? So, I
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: mean I could say whatever I want. Yeah, I'd love
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: to never happening.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: Ever, yeah, I don't think they're gonna choose you, and
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: that's fine. Yeah, don't necessarily want.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 6: I liked the question though.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: It was great.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: Up, Chuck, which reality TV show could you beat the
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: entire KJR talent in if y'all were selected to compete
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: on one series?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Oh man, a reality television show keeping Up with the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Kardashian eliminated win.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: I'd win that reality show. Yeah, I keep up with
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: it better? Yeah.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: No, I take like one of the competition shows, Survivors.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I think there's I mean, yeah, I don't know the
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: game shows count I would think so.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: I think I do pretty well at that floor. Oh yeah,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: that interesting. I've only seen it a couple of times.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: But I think what I could tell from it is
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: if you're the if you've got like an area of expertise,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: and if you can never be beaten in your area,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: then you're probably going to win. And I think I
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: could come up with something that I knew would know
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: better than anybody on the floor, because you get to
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: pick your special yeah, you know, And I think I
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: could I could come up with something that I could
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: know better than anyone on the floor, and then I
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: have enough vast knowledge enough that I should be able
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: to beat somebody else at their specialty on occasion. So
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go the floor, all right, yeah, starring, Yeah,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: that might actually be my expertise.
• 1:04:54

  Speaker 3: Are the silk sheets like a oh, they're off white
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: red like a mave kind of color.

  Speaker 1: Manfred's under the silk sheets, Nance is just straight out
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: shirt rocking it.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: Say, now I'm picking the picture and Nance just standing
• 1:05:34

  Speaker 3: see if it really has some hidden meanings.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh for something different.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we could rewrite a song easily.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 6: Show This is from our wonderful listener Nick.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: What's up with the world and youth sports not understanding
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: that US early risers would like to be in bed
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: by nine pm on most nights.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: Amen.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: Mm yeah, they're like, oh no, your practice will go
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: till nine, and then you're eleven year old can come
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: home at nine and can be hungry.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why is that happening?
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: It's a great question.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, couldn't you started like six and be done
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: by eight?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 6: One would think?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Is it like field availability?
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean at this point you're just getting to
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: where you can start moving it like earlier because of
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: the time the sun right, not all fields have lights,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: and so you didn't. I mean, up until this week,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: you couldn't start a game before six because it would
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: be dark by seven.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think maybe that's.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: The benefit of having grown up in my small community
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: where there really was only like two baseball fields in
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: the entire town.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just find a meadow. I mean, you can't
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: do everything.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: You can't take ground balls, but you can take batting practice,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: and you can, you know, you take fly balls. Just
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: find a meadow. Yeah, go out there and hit some
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: balls around.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like that, not that. No, you got
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: to find a field and then they're all rented. And
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: now with this weather, it's been horrible. I mean we've
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: been rained out the last three or four practice and

  Speaker 1: get good questions.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: There was great question, there was so many a ton,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: So I think the segment's going to be a hit,
