• 1:09
  Speaker 1: at Sounders today Sounders availability, their first one since the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: World Cup break. Is it true that this what I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: heard in the press box the other day? The Sounders
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: played the reserves for the Belgian national team, who are
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: training at the Sounders facility. Did that happen? We don't know.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they did, it was closed, you know
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And we'll roll act the players today.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: They're out there now. It's ten thirty d World time.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Eleven thirty's when you get media availability, so you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we'll pull a couple of players to the side, you
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: know then and we'll hear from that. But Belgium will
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: practice at four thirty here today because this is their
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: base camp as well.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So who's there for the Sounders is everyone beside Christian Rodan?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And I guess who the Mexican national team has a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: sounder or too? How many in the World Cup?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Let's see, I mean it's Ovid Vargas and then Cristo Mordan. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that's it. I mean in terms of you know, the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the International World Cup.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So is everybody else practice excuse for other reasons.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I mean you would think everybody's practicing because yeah, this
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: is They've had their break and now it's time to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: get back to business. Yeah, so I think everybody should
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be here. And you know, Greg, you just never know
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: these things because coaches will give their player, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: certain players the knop or something like that, especially they don't.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Have a game until seventeenth or whatever it is, right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's July sixteenth against Brian Sinatcha's favorite team,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: sup Portland.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Timbers Cascadia Cup. MAT's mas Vita joining us from the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Sounders training camp where they have practice availability today. All right, man,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I mean everyone's saying Lionel Messi has watched up at
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: thirty eight, this is his last World couple, what's just
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: going to be and he just goes off last night
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: scores in all kinds of ways, a putback artistry move
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: on a turn after a pass through lines in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: middle of the field, and then a strike from the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: top of the box that just curl away from the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: keeper in to the side of that. What did you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: make of the incomparable. You know Messi last night with
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the hat trick.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I mean Greg Juno soccer, right, your kids who are
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: now grown playing soccer.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: But the thing about what makes Messy incredible, I think
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he has three things.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: He has speed, quickness, and he has torque. And when
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I mean torque is that ability when he strikes that
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: ball quickly with speed. And that's what's really really makes
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: him special. And he's been able to keep his body.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I like Rinaldo right, Ronaldo if you will, but he's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: been able to maintain his body and keep it in shape.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But Messi has if you ever, y'all watch him play, right,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: He's got the speed, and then he has what I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: call those Fred Flintstone steps. You know what I'm saying
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that he kind of takes little steps there, but they're
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: disceptive because they're actually he's setting up for that shot,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: which you do not know. And I would say he's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: an amazing mathematician because of those three things that he
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: does that he measures the field, sees it and calculates
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it at you know, it's such a high rate. That's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: why he's exceptional. And I'm and I'm coming around to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: be the best player that they ever played this game.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you can get an argument. I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: mean maybe Maridona, another Argentinian.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Les John Price.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean right, the list is not long. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: now Messi is tied for the most World Cup goals
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: ever and he's still got a whole tournament to go,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: including two more group stage matches. When you see Argentina,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Argentina play and how they press and how they are
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: completely pushing the This was Algeria, not the top flight
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: team in the world, but how they were pushing the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: opponent up the field in Kansas City last night, just
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: hemming it. You saw France play for the first time yesterday,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I struggle in the first half before pulling away over
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Senegal in the second half. Do you see Argentina as
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: they are always up there? But to you, are they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a finalist candidate and a favorite to win this?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I think it would It would be an eyebrow razor
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: if let's say they didn't at least get into the final. Rikers,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I mean at least at least six players are returning,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you know from last year's the fitting champion, right, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: so they're more experienced and smers think this is a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: better team than last year's, last year's, last World Cups
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: team years, so I very much expect them to to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: go hall, to go far the experience and to your point,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: they know what they're good at and their mission. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you saw that that was a difference between France and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Argentina and yesterday right because France Viviana Champs his message.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It took a while for you know, the France to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: figure out how we play in and all those things,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and they clipped in. Argentina knew from the get go
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: as soon as I wish blew. They knew how they
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: wanted to attack, and to your point, they wanted to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: know where they wanted to attack and kind of defensively,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: how they wanted to neutralize their Ponit.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Just smothered Algeria, especially in the second half. I was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that Rodrigo de Paul for Argentina is really good. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: France's supporting cast may not be as deep as Argentina,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: but man, they have some really good players on the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: ball in the midfield that gets the ball to Mboppa
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to make those runs. They seem to see the game
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: before it happens. I mean most of yesterday in Bappe's chances.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I watched that match and most of those chances it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was before the past even appeared that the ball was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on its way. What impresses you not just about Imbappe,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: but how France plays stylistically.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean to your point, when they're clicking, they
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: really are. They understand the spacing and movement off the ball,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and I mean you're looking at Ibrahm can not take
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean Liverpool there and and just in
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: terms of I'd be remiss not talking about it, Michael Lilise, right,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and you saw.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Was brilliant yesterday, brilliant every time the ball touched his
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: hand and touch his foot, it was going somewhere to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a scoring position. Yeah, he's really good.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Because beigas you know, he sees the play before the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: play before the play, right, And and that's what makes
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: an exceptional soccer player, you know, and Usman Demballe as well.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And of course you know how you're going to count
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: out desiret due. So they've got a lot of players
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that understand the game, that understand pacing, spacing and then
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: also how to run off the ball. And I think
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that's what really, you know, I think we'd all be
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: fine with the France against Argentina, you know, rematch, just
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: because of the type of play this, this soccer that
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you're going to see. They can attack, they can be patient,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and yet they lethal when they get the opportunities and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: very few chances are wasted.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: We're talking World Cup with mas Vita Marie Aire. He's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: from Cascadio Sports Net and Fox thirteen Sports television pundit
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: as well. You and Nico Marino just cutting it up
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: on Fox thirteen lately. I see on soccer US team
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: coming tomorrow. I think you're going to be out of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Husky Stadium. I assume they're going to practice on the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: grass in the soccer pitch, right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I mean, I mean I can't imagine that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Put us here and be like, yeah, go right ahead
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and play and the best sitting and college football on
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the turf and then somebody gets turf toe at the No,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that's not happening. You know what They're going to be
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: on that side grass and you know, Fee Flirty came
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: out and looked at it. You know, you know how
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: particulous day off in terms of the field.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And when you get there tomorrow, I'm sure the question
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: will be Christian Polistics availability. I would think he's going
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to start with the capstring in seven days between games
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: for the US since they beat Paraguay. What does Polistic
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: do mas Vita that makes us go and why he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: their best player and why can they not replace him?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: What in particular do you notice about Polisics game.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: His ability to go down down the wing right. Most
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: players can do that, but now what he's added to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: his game is he's cutting back inside with speed and
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: case and he's not just taking on one B one,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: He's not going one on two and that's I think
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that's the elevation of his game and his confidence in
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: some of the moves that he now has. I mean,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: he gets that he has the speed, guile and creativity.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Now that's something that's hard to replace. Along with his speed.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You know it's had that, but now when you add
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: that ability to be creative in the eye, to see
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: somebody cutting in like Blana and open up, that's what
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: he's irreplaceable.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Well as Vita joining us as he did on Monday
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in person, I'll probably see him in person quite a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: bit on Friday as well, when the US and Argentina
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: play shooting not yet, maybe not ever. US and Australia
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: play Friday at noon at Lumenfield. The entire KGr lineup
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is going to be down there Friday. Chuck and Bucks
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: show in the morning from there from Jimmy's on first,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I'll be there from ten am to noon with the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: match starting at noon. It's going to be a wild
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: scene Friday, Moz, what are you expecting Compared to Belgium
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Egypt which wasn't exactly a library and they were one
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty short of capacity, They'll be backed to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the gills at Lumenfield on Friday. I mean the soccer
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: US brought a lot of folks to Vancouver when they
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: upset Turkey on Saturday night. What kind of scene can
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you just describe to a sports fan? What spectacle that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: going to be in the stadium on Friday afternoon.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Let's be noise, clapping, sounds in terms of any sound
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: generated equipment they can get in there, and I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it's just it's going to be loud, bedlam, USA chance
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and it's a moment also for the casual fan to
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: now get on board here and because of the wind
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the US had, this is an opportunity right to it's nationalism. Ooh,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: it's great about the World Cup. It's always about nationalism,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: embracing your culture, sho embracing others as well. But it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: just gonna be absolutely stars and stripes, and to your point,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the upper rooms or not like giving back their tickets
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that they had. So it's going to be a fun atmosphere.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And the two teams play last time October and the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: US beat them two to one to snap the soccer
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: who's twelve game on beaton streak? BELUSA got injured in
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that politic game, but how do you write scored? So
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and also chist In Dan got an assist, so there's
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit of history. There's been a little bit
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: of banter from the Australian side. So on the pitch,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: are they ready to go? Which again is to ignite
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the crowd. Yeah, it's one of those places, Greg, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: think we're all going to pinch ourselves and say, I'm here,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I get paid for this. Please.
• 12:33

  Speaker 2: has been talking about the World Cup and it just
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to host such an international event, right from the culture perspective,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: but also just from the game itself. And you know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: we've seen the game evolved here in the United States.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: We've seen the game evolved here in Seattle, you know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: because you got those pickup games that were at Green Lake,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that were Dollfield, there were some over there at the

  Speaker 2: Queen Anne Bole you know, people say, and behind Shoreline

  Speaker 1: World Cup as well US Australia at noon on Friday.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Much more than just the soccer, the actual is going
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to be off the hook exciting, and we mentioned that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the Belgian national team, the players who did not play
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in the Egypt game. They're training. All of Belgium's national
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: team is training down at the Sounders facility, and the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: other day they scrimmage. I think it was yesterday, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of you texted in. Ian Forernest texted me
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: as well, saying that Brian Smeetzer mentioned on the Softian
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Dick Show yesterday when they had him on that yes,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: they did scrimmage. They did score first on Belgium, the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Sounders did, and then they lost two to one, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: it was some of the guys who did sub in late,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: but mostly the second team for Belgium that the Sounders played,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and Christian Rodon was not there, but Vargas was not there.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Vargas is playing with the Mexican national team, as mos
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Veta had mentioned, but yeah, they're co tenants right now.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: This is the first practice today the Sounders have had
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: since the World Cup break about three weeks ago, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: then they don't play until, as you heard Mosvita say,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: July sixteenth. So I'm sure that a couple of guys
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: got passes or they're nursing injuries, and it wasn't the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: full Sounders get up against the Belgian national teams reserves
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: yesterday down in Renting, Belgium one two to one and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that practice scrimmage that was closed to the media otherwise,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: but Brian Spencer mincing that thanks to Ian and those
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on the text line, Chris, I can't get you to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: convert convinced to come down there Friday Friday.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Friday Friday. I'm trying to think what I got going.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: You gotta watch dishes, I'll watch paint. No, no, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: believe I am going to go running because I'm about
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: to sign up for a Independence Day five k and Tacoma,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and I'm trying to get under twenty two minutes. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: ran twenty three oh two, so now I'm trying to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: cut a minute off and that's gonna be a B word.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: But but you gotta challenge yourself. So I'm trying to
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: do that. So I might go running Friday in my
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: neighborhood to see if I can. I got hills and crap,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: so I understand there's a little difference there. But I
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: got to see if I could come in at at
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: least twenty two mark with hills, because then that probably
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: leads to a flat surface.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You should be able to maybe twenty one forty The
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: five k and to come as flat. Yeah, it's it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it's there's no way. Yeah, there's no hills. It's it's perfect.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: There are some races and to come up, I did
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: sound and narrows and hills and yeah that sucks. It's like, damn, well,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I would have done better if there was no hills. Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: So I'm training on hills and it sucks, but I
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: try to think, Okay, if I can do this on
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: a hill, give me a flat surface, I should have
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: the stamina and strength to continue on and be We
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: had a better time than I was for my first.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Fast kid graduating from Seward Park because there's no I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: still run Sewer.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I still run Sewer, but on every Tuesday, I run
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: my neighborhood and that's a It sucks because there's hills,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: but Sewer is just a little better just because there's
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: no hill and it's a better view and I love
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: it so selfishly. That's you can't blame it for that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, so I think now I'm just going to
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: add another run. I might do it today too, So
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to now get ready for another race.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So I know, right, I'm only getting blew out about
• 17:58

• 18:39
  Speaker 3: And he mentioned next year in April they have this race,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: not a race, but it's basically running and you run
• 18:46

  Speaker 1: seven hundred feet elevation. Yeah, what the hell it was?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And they were running that stuff and they were running
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: over rocks and boulders. There's boulder fields the top of
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Grand Those who done Granted Peak know what I'm talking about.

• 19:37
  Speaker 3: said I hope to see you next year in April.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And in my head, I'm like, yeah, you'll see me once.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Mind you.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: We had been walking up, we saw him going up,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: he was coming down, and then on our way up
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: he passed us again, and then when we got to
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the top.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: He was coming.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: It was unbelievable how many how fast he was doing it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: But salute to the gentlemen he was.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Why did they not turn their ankles? Man?
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Or just rip their Well, they probably done it before
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: and their ankles are so used to it. I guess
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: because Yeah, I'm with you, Greg, How the hell? And why?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: You know?

• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Born here in sixty three, never heard of piseo. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: don't believe that. I think that can't be true. David
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: three six L. I live in Tacoma and I've driven
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to Seattle a dozen times just to pick up Piso's.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Jason two six AZOONBN wipes piseo off the floor. They're related.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: It's a long, complicated story, but similar. Similar menu. Yes,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you could say wipes off the corp.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: They're almost the same. The corn, the street corn is
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: really good with the cheese. I almost said it wrong.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Cotia cheese and the tangent type of seasoning on it.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: That's really good too.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: From Keith Kid about to lose his c card. Well,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: thanks a lot there, Bud it listen near Keith. I
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: don't have anything to say Keith shout out to Keith.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Though I'm working on it. I'm gonna eat Piso soon.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Damn kid town path few vague gotta talk about bien
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: obien versus pisseo though yeah, Greg mentioned it's probably dealer's choice.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Which one do you like more? They're probably right their
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: neck and necks. We're close again. It's a family history.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: There's a fight about the menu. They close briefly in
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the Fremont Avenue piseo. There's a Fremont Avenue paseo, and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: then there's the one on First Avenue South, which is
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: south of the stadiums that you can get off. Here's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the pro tip, although this is my trick in the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: o't it'll be crowded. When you go to the Mariners
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: or Seahawk games on light rail, Go one stop past
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the stadium, stop to the Sodo stop and then walk
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: up a couple of blocks to Piso and you keep
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: walking north to the stadium, and you can bring Pisseo
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: sandwiches into the Mariners games in a clear plastic bag. Accord,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: what other food can you bring in there? I think
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you can bring any of your own food as long
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: as it's in clear plastic bags. Wow, I believe that's true.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Greg gonna get a lot of people. Greg said, I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you're telling me what? Yeah, I know the Mariners are
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: going to be like what, But no, We've brought Piseo
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: sandwiches in for a long time, which means if you
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: can ren those are wrapped in paper bags. So you
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: should be able to bring your own food in right,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: as long as it's not knives.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: And forks and plates and a whole sal around area. Yeah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I mean a solad from if you don't mind, do you?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I mean you probably could do that. I don't know.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Has Chris ever been to Dicks from the two o
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: six listen here? But yeah, been to It's amazing.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, touched a nerve there, sure did. What about the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Mariners the piggyback It sounds like people are in favor
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of it because of the results. Morean two six is
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: more piggybacks? Please at Scooble as well. That's if everybody
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: else did two five three says double down in the Piggybacks.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Add Kate Anderson, who's just ripping up Double A, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan Sloan into the starters Piggybacks too. They do have
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a surplus of starters, young starters and the minor ex
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: system pushing up. Some people think Ryan Anderson is coming
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: up during this season and just go find the best
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: thirteen starters you have and roll them to the playoffs.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Now Anderson may not be in the rotation, but his
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: r Chuck quote it the other day they had one
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: bad start for double A to Coma or Double A Arkansas,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: but his ra other than that is like under one
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and strike out to walk ratio. Last I checked, it
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: was like seventy two to four or something crazy. Now
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: people will tell you that pitching wise, there's not a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: ton of difference between double A and Triple A because
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Triple A in the Pacific Coast League is a bad,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: bad place for pitchers and there's not a lot of
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: development going on there. Just getting Psyche's beaten up by
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: some of those ballparks Albuquerque, Salt Lake and the elevation,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and double A has become more. The Texas League has
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: become more of a launching pad for Major League pittchers
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: because they don't want to expose him to getting the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: bandboxes at high elevation in the Pacific Coast League.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Can we get from the nine to seven eight? Can
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: we get a tracker on the amount of times piggyback
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: has been said since six am? I set the over
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: under a one hundred.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: That's a good one four to five. Love listening to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you and kid from Atlanta, miss me some Seattle. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: think the piggyback is the way to go. If you notice,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: they are now doing attacks across all starters, so no
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: one can have hard feelings. Probably should have started it
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that way. Also thumbs up on Piso, Thanks atl appreciate
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: that well.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Since Greg, when I being in Pas one more time,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I got from the four to two five. Don't worry
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Chris until he watches his gladiator. He can't throw shade
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: on anything.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I k that was covering. I knew it was. I
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: mean a lot. That shows you a long time listening
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to the show. Appreciate that that that discussion on Gladia
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: goes back to our show in twenty twenty four. Yes,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: in two years guys, you're like day ones man. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: appreciate that there was a text on here about asking
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: how much money a minor league call up gets even
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: for one day and that, and that's a good question
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: because it's interesting yesterday we talked earlier in the show
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: about how the Mariners brought up a Class A outfitter,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Washington junior from Heurdis Washington Junior from Everett High A Everett.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: He was batting one ninety, but he got there because
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: he was the outfitter who would get here in time
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: for the game when they put Randy Rose Arena on
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the aisle an hour before first pitch. So the deal
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: is in hig A, the minimum salary Chris for a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: high A back baseball player Class A is twenty seven
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: nine and forty dollars for the entire season. Twenty seven thousand.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I mean that's below minimum wage. And a single day
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues you get a pro rate of
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the minimum salary in the major leagues is seven hundred
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and forty thousand. You pro rate that by you divide
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: it by one hundred and eighty three service days in
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a season. A Major league baseball player for just getting
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: caught up for one day to the major leagues, gets
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: four two hundred sixty two dollars for that day, four thousand.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that's that's like a fourth of the minor league,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the Class a's entire salary for minimum salary for the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: entire season, plus if you're on the road, you get
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen dollars per diem. Now, this is hilarious.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: When I was covering baseball, these dudes would get per
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: diem in cash before the plane even took off. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: covered the A's, the Hudson Multi John bas and Zeno
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and the moneyball a's, those guys in early two thousands,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: they would hand out cash for the per diem. So,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: say they going on ten day road trip back then
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the per diem was eighty five dollars, they get eight
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars in cash. The plane would take
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: off for New York or Chicago, whatever. Those dudes, they're
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: eight to fifty betting on the card games before the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: plane even took off. Not how much money these guys make. Now,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the per diem's one seventeen. In the NBA, it's one
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty dollars a day. But I will tell
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: you here's what happens with the Major League Baseball player.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Night games. They stay at the yard. They eat afterwards
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: with the meal at the in the clubhouse until about
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: eleven thirty or twelve. They go out to the bars
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: of the clubs until two two thirty. They sleep until
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: about eleven or twelve. They might have breakfast at the hotel,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: they might not. They go straight to the yard. Most times,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: all their meals are at the yard, so they're not
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: paying a dime out of their per diem because they're
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: eating at the park before the game. They roll in
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: at like one o'clock for a seven o'clock game. They
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: do it all again the next day. Then they if
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it's a getaway day, they get on the plane and
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: they go to the next city. For a home game,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you get a per diem. If the team is supplying meals,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: which they're required to at home twice before and after games,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: you get thirty four dollars and fifty cents. By the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: new CBA, it used to be that when I covered
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, if a guy was called up from
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the minor leagues to the majors, even for one day,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: he got that per diem for the rest of the season.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So then when he got sent back to the minor leagues,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: usually Triple A, those dudes came right to that dude
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and said, you're buying meals for the rest of the season.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: You're making six times what we're making perdam. No more
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: styrofoam pizzas anymore. You you're taking us out. And that
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: guy would be fronting for the Triple A team the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: rest of the season. So you can imagine of a
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: high A guy. Good. He got four two hundred and
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: sixty two dollars plus thirty four to fifty per DM.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: He got forty three hundred dollars to come up and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: show up in a Mariner's uniform and sit on the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: bench yesterday Washington did from Everett. Now he's going back
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: today to make a pro rated pro ration of twenty
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: seven thousand for the entire season. So, yeah, Washington didn't
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: play yesterday, but he did all right, And those those
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Class eight players are going to ask him how that
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: experience was. They're going to ask him to buy meals
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the season too, coming up and
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Furness he's floating around somewhere. If not Jessamin McIntyre would
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you call yesterday, Bake vac k Bay here you go.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: You got it. She could talk to us next about
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: what's coming on the Infernest Show from twelve until three
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: on ninety three point three kJ r f M. Welcome
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: back to Greg Best Show with Christopher Kid Live on
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ r f M. Or the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Mayor and Maple Valley I in Furness has stepped.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: In back from puck Land yesterday, Buckland, lots of meetings.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I heard you're justin Hollander interview. He said they're gonna
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: see the Big Jays.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I've had married the end of the day. Yeah, exactly,
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: not all good, all good. So yeah, so you think
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: they're gonna swing big cracking try, I don't know if
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: you can.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: They'll try.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Like you said, everyone has money in the cellar.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Someone's got money, and everybody and every everybody in the
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: NHL has a no trade clause or list of where
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: they'll go. So you got to go through some of
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: those things, and basically everyone says, I don't want to
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: go anywhere except for Florida, Tampa or Vegas, right right,
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: And at some point those teams can't have everybody on
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: their team, right, so, uh, you know, anyway, yeah, we'll
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: see it would be an interesting really kind of interesting
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: next three and a half weeks or something.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It was interesting the comment you made to Jason Botter
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: about it chicken in the egg of how do you
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: get good when the team free agents will only come
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: to good teams?
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Well, and you got to overpay guys. And the funny
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: thing with that is, like we always, you know, we
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: talk about the Mariners all the time. I you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: I heard you guys talking yesterday about Matt Chapman, right
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: was no, it was Chuck.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: It was Chuck.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Sorry, talk about Matt Chapman and and all the other
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Chapman the picture Chapman like like, well, you know, you
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: got to maybe have to take some of their salary.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Who cares. There's no sour cap in hockey.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: There is much like the NFL, and the hockey cap
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: is very NFL like where it's hard basically, but you know, like, yeah,
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: you still have to overpay for free agents sometimes.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Mariners want to keep under the luxury tax thresholds, right.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Exactly, and and you know, and so then you ask yourself,
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: at what price are you, you know, try to win
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: to the world serve you're not. And you know, in
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: the case of like the Kraken, they're trying to, you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: get back to the playoffs at least as a start,
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: and I don't think they're that far away from getting
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: back to the playoffs.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Contending for Stanley Cups a different beast. But you know,
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: you have to overpay free agents. You have to overpay
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Bobby McMahon, and they did that with Chandler Stevenson and
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Brandon Montour And at least in the case of Monty,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: people criticize them a ton.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Well, his contract right now.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Looks really good and like he's, if not their best player,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: he's one of their best players. And his contract ranks
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: like one fiftieth in the league.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, And that's always the way, right, because when you
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: sign him, it's not what you're going to be paying.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: The NFL like that, right, of course, you sign you
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: the highest paid fill in the position in the league,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: and then two weeks later you're not, right exactly like
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: JSN will not be the highest paid receiver when Puca signs.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's just the way it is, right.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think Russ was the highest paid quarterback
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: for a day once or twice, right, and.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Try McDuffie's about to get eclipsed by Devin Witherspoon as
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the highest paid corner, who would then get clips by
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: somebody else.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Somebody else will pass in by it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile the cap keeps going up by ten and
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: twenty million a year.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Well that's the thing, it's like, you know, and in
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: the salary cap leagues. That's the thing with baseball. It's
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: interesting is that, you know, if you do look at
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: the other sports, the cap does go up at least
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know about the NBA as much, but I
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: know Chris would know that better than me. But I know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: like in the NFL, in the NHL, it's based on
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: you know, basketball or hockey related income or football related income,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: which includes everything, right, and it goes up every year.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: And in case of you know, the NFL, it goes
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: up a lot every year because the TV rights go
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: out every year, and the NHL is the same way.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: The NHL's going up massively this year. Right, So you know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: like the cap isn't shouldn't always be a concern because
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: it's always going.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: To go up.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I want to ask your golf question, real, yeah, yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: how big a deal. I think this is a big deal.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: But Roosevelt High School has Quinn Burrell Burwell, who's a senior,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: and junior Carson Church both qualified for the US National
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Amateur Champion. Did Junior Amateur?
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Really cool?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: That's awesome because I guess there's only two hundred and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: sixty four in the whole world that can qualify. That's awesome.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Two came from the same for.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: US am that's big, pretty good. Must be a pretty
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: good golf team.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to have the coach and those two guys
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: at qualify. That's a big deal tomorrow.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: It's a very big deal.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: It is, Okay.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: I believe that's the tournament that was at Golden Mountain
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: when Jordan Speith met Michael Greller years and years ago.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I believe that.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: I think that was a U s M and I
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: think it's been out a Chambers Bay two over the years.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: So, but is that the same as the Junior am
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the same as the user?
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: I know US amateurs for a little bit older kids.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I think, so this is a US Junior Amateur, Like.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you're playing, yeah, that's it. I mean,
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: still huge deal. I mean they gotta be damn good.
