Chuck in the Morning 9/4 H3: The Ocho, ABCs of the Mariners and Millen Day! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for the Ocho.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: The best 12 minutes of 8 minutes of radio.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by the rich, complex flavor of Pendleton Whiskey.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Letter Buck. Please drink responsibly. 8 o'clock hour here on
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: this Friday. Great to have you with us. Ashley Ryan
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is here. My name is Chuck Powell. Happy Summerween to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: all of you.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Happy.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: No, I need to sell it more. Happy Summerween!
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Nailed it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that sounds so exciting. Tell me all
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: about Summerween.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like the transition from summer into fall
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: when we've had enough of one and can't wait for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the other. It could be like transition day. Mm-hmm. Happy
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: transition day or trans day. I don't think we should
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: do that. That wouldn't get confused with anything else, would it?
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think we should do that.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Should we do it? Happy trans day. That wouldn't. No.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Has that been taken?
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's been taken.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Because there's nothing it could be confused with, right?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: No, I think there is something it could be confused with.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to take something else.
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: Here's the problem is because then every season, you could
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: think you're going from fall into winter. Okay.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Or winter into spring or spring into summer. It doesn't specify.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll scratch that one then. Exactly. So that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: would be confusing.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: That would confuse a lot of people.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Good morning. It is time for the Ocho here on
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a Friday. Your eight top stories of the day. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we are going to start. And this is why it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is always so confusing. Because it is September 4th. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in two days, we're going to play a football game
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that has always been At the end of fall. And instead,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: here we are. I mean, we haven't even thrown our
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: first summerween party pool party yet.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what are we doing?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And we're getting ready. Play the Apple Cup. September 6th,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the Apple Cup will be played. Played on a Sunday
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. No longer part of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the same conference. And the two schools haven't been in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: three years now. The future of a 118-game rivalry seems
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to be in serious jeopardy right now. This could mark
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: one of the last Apple Cups we ever see play.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And I do wonder, do you treasure it this Sunday?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Do you ignore it this Sunday? I suppose, Ashley, I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guess that depends mostly upon which team that you root for.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But where are you? Do you want to treasure Sunday
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and the last few Apple Cups that we may ever see?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Or are you more in the category of... I don't
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: even care anymore.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: I'm going to watch it because it is a Husky
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: football game. But as far as treasuring it, no, because
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: that rivalry is gone. That ended a couple of years ago.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: So it's it's not the same.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: It is. I mean, yes, we're still calling it the
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Apple Cup, but I think you could pull any coogs
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: and any Huskies and they'd all agree that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that rivalry is not a rivalry anymore.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: It's the what we had, what the what the Apple
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Cup was is it died a couple of years ago.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Sad. It is sad. And to hear you put it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that way, I can't disagree at all. And that's why
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I do believe we are probably playing the last few.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And I kind of want to say savor it, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I get a Coug fan saying, you want me to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: savor this? I used to look forward to this every year,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: even though we lost more than we won.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was always fun. It was always stressful.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Couldn't wait for it. Counted down the days toward it,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and now the last couple were a 23.5-point underdog on Sunday.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You want me to savor this? You want me to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: treasure this? I understand. I do understand, and I think
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Ashley probably did nail it right there. It is more
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: sad than anything.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And yet, I don't know how many more of these
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: we're going to get. As I discussed a little bit
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: earlier in the show, I mean, a lot of rivalries
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in college football have died over finances.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Conference realignment. This wouldn't be the first. Be a long
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: line of games that have gone by the wayside. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I do think that's going to happen. I just don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: think logistically it makes sense for either school. And I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: don't think that one of the fan bases is on
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: board whatsoever anymore. So I do think that its days
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: are numbered. And that truly is sad. And yet we
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: do have a couple more of them we know are
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: going to be on the docket, including Sunday at 1.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I will be looking forward to the game
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: because it's the kickoff to the Husky football season, as
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: I said. But as a person who's not rich, I
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: can safely say this. Money ruins everything. If I was rich,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I'd probably embrace it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Kickoff sunday at one o'clock right here it's your favorite
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: radio station sports radio 93.3 kjrfm and of course uh
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the honks uh we'll get it started early in the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: morning do we know what time i would yeah they're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: at nine nine o'clock uh that'll lead you up to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a kickoff at one o'clock and there'll be a historic
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: broadcast this year the play-by-play broadcast features elise woodward in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: her first game as the voice of the dogs and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: also features our own David Softy-Mahler for the first time
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: as the official sideline reporter as well. And Jessamyn will
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be on the other sideline for the Cougs.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: And if the game ends in a tie, I hear
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: they have to wrestle at the W in the middle
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: of the field.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I want a tie. Me too. Tie, tie, tie.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Tie, tie, tie.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: College football week number one. I know we had week zero.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'm still going to call it that because then I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: don't know what to call this week if I call
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that the same thing. One and a half?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So college football week number one, it is already underway.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Colorado had a nice win against Georgia Tech last night,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: 14-13 the final score. There are more games on Friday.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: There are games on Saturday. And as we know, there
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: are games on Sunday. Rick Neuheisel was with us Tuesday
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for the first time this college football season. And I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: asked him which game interests him the most this weekend.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: The Tiger versus Tiger thing in Baton Rouge. So much
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: conversation about Lane and, you know, what's going on there and,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: you know, our pros playing. And here comes Davo Sweeney,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: who's as old school as they come. You know, baseball,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: hot dogs, apple pie and Davo Sweeney.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: And I'm just curious to see if his Clemson team
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: can give the newfangled Tigers a run. And I'm hoping
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: it's a really competitive game.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: LSU owes Clemson 430 on ABC. That is tomorrow. Now,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the background to the story, the side story is, of course,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the pros having come back and only LSU is actively
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: recruiting them in the entire country, much less in the SEC.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: A judge in Louisiana, a Tigers fan. has cleared former
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: professional football players to play in the game. He just
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: ruled just yesterday that they are allowed to play in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the game. Of course, meanwhile, back at the SEC headquarters,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they filed a lawsuit against LSU and head coach Lane
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Kiffin and are trying to block those players from playing
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in the game. It could mean... some sort of punishment
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: against Lane Kiffin and the Tigers going forward out of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the SEC, but he doesn't seem to care. He has
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: embraced this role as the heel of college football. He
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: has referenced himself to being like Hulk Hogan, and I'm
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: not making that up. He was apparently and still is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a wrestling fan and fancies himself as the heavyweight world
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: champion who at one point went from good guy to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: bad guy, back to good guy, then back to bad guy.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't see anything wrong with taking the Hulk
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Hogan career path in life. And so he's going to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: play the guys and.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Whatever comes, comes from doing that.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if those, because, yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: after the ruling, if those guys do play, and then
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: if Clemson decides to play the game under protest, because
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: that's what I, I mean, there was talk of potentially
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: boycotting any games that LSU was playing, but you don't
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: want to forfeit a game because then that's a loss
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: for you. So you don't want to just hand LSU wins,
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: but if you play the game and play it under protest,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: you could potentially fight it later if you lose.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: If you win, you're not going to fight it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well, just play it and beat them. That would be
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the best.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I would love that. That would be the best.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Best.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Because his pouty face is turd-like.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And Zavian Harris is the guy that creates the penalty
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that costs them the game.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: That would be the best.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That's what I would like to see.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see it happen.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And here's what's funny. It might not even be the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: biggest scandal in college football this weekend. Thanks to Bill
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Belichick's North Carolina program, where yesterday his son-slash-defensive coordinator was
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: given medical leave while being tied to allegations of drug
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: use on campus and improper relationships among staffers.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, glad he's not at Washington anymore.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Ah, college football is back.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Yay!
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Tonight, Miami at Stanford, Fresno State at USC are games
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of note. And then on Sunday, the Cougs and Dawgs
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: aren't the only two teams playing on Sunday, although they
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: will play at 1 o'clock to themselves. They got that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to themselves. 4 o'clock, Wisconsin versus Notre Dame at historic
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Lambeau Field on Sunday. And Louisville versus Ole Miss in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the shadow of the Grand Ole Opry.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I've always loved the Badgers.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Go Badgers. Is that what you're telling us? We are,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of course, five days away from the Seahawks opener as well.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You better believe football is here, people. Greg Bell was
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: with us one hour ago, our Seahawks insider, and I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: asked him about the outlook for Nick Emanwuri on opening day.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Well, he looks to be on his own schedule. We
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: only get to see him for the first five or
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: ten minutes of practice and just stretching and doing warm-up drills,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: and then they shoo us away. It is a different
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: ramp-up schedule. He's not in full mode that I can tell.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: If they were required, tomorrow they will start to be
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: required of practice participation. My guesstimate is that he would
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: be limited in so far. It's not a done deal
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: that he's going to play. I think it's still pretty iffy.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He hasn't done anything since the Super Bowl. Well, he's
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: done OTAs and minicamps and t-shirts and shorts before he
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: had the arthroscopic surgery on his ankle in mid-July, but
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: he hasn't done anything since that surgery in mid-July. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: don't know. They're going to keep the Patriots guessing, obviously,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: for competitive reasons, but I'm not convinced he's going to
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: play Wednesday.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: The world champion Seattle Seahawks host the Patriots 520 kickoff.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: When Nicky Manwari comes back, I want him just to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be 100% healthy. If that means missing a game or two,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I mean, he did it a year ago
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, and it turned out
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Didn't it?
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: What happened last year?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: World champs.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I guess that was decent.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it turned out okay. So I just want. When
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he comes back on the field, I want him to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be 100%, and then I want him to be 100%
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. So whatever it takes
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to get to 100%, let's do that first, and then
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: let's have the superstar on the field flying high.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I'd like him to be 200%. Okay, all right. Want
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: to do that?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give that a shot this year. Always raising
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the bar, Ashley Ryan. It must be summer wings. The Athletics,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, internal five-month investigation determined that Diana Rossini
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and Mike Vrabel's affair did indeed violate their standards for journalism.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Took five months to figure that out.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And as punishment, Rossini will now likely land a job
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: paying her three times what she made at the Athletic.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she'll probably be at Barstool or somewhere where they're
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: going to rip the heck out of her.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: They've already said they want to hire her. And pay
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of money for it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Of course they do.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Fail up. That's how the world works. Item number four,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks sale is now official. And so, after a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: just brief spat between Seahawks fans and a former Steeler fan,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and Vinod Khosla, it looks like they decided to finish
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the deal. Can I get a second chance?
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Can I get a second chance?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Second chance?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Second chance?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Second chance?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: How about a third chance? How about a fourth chance?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Can I get any kind of chance at all?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Because to me, you are priceless. That's right, baby doll.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You are priceless. Sold! There you go.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: That's how it went down.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: That's how it went down yesterday. Uh, the Kosla family
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: purchased the Seattle Seahawks for a record price tag of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: $ 9. 6 billion. And I guess like 12 cents or something
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: like that. Uh, the node has more than suggested that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Jody Allen should raise the 12th man flag this Wednesday
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: night as part of the traditional 12th man flag ceremony.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a great idea to me. Now, if
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: we could just get that family to stop tweeting, you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: really need to stop.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think they do. I love it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You do? Yes.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't care. I think it's great. If you
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: want to do it, if you're excited, you want to
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: talk to the fans, talk to the fans.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: The thing is that they made a lot of their
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: money in AI, and so I'm wondering why. It's clear
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that it's not AI. They're not just handing it over
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to AI. But I wonder if maybe you should.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they will. Maybe it'll be a smooth transition.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Item number five, the Mariners returned home, and we spent
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a show yesterday thinking, ah, looks like there's a chance.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: They're scoring runs again. They overcame a four-game losing streak
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and started winning. hitting the baseball in Boston. They won
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: two in a row. The schedule now gets soft. The
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: gauntlet is over. 22 games against the worst teams in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball who've already given up on the 2026 season.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe there is a chance, and then they vomited all
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: over themselves. Big spot here for Kate Anderson.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: 2-1. Line drive, center field, base hit in trouble. Bolte scores.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Game is tied. Gallup, thanks to that stolen base, scores easily.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And the A's have taken the lead back. It's 4-3
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Athletics with two outs in the fifth inning.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You're a professional athlete and very fast. And your last
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: name was somehow pronounced Bolte because there's an E on
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the end. Wouldn't you change it to Bolt? Yes. Wouldn't
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you want to be known as Hank Bolt? Yeah. Henry Bolt?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I'd like to be known as that just now in life.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: He is very fast. I am not. After back-to-back wins
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in Boston to close a we're-still-alive road trip, the Mariners
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: returned home to face an A's team that has lost
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: all of its best players to injury. Not some. All
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of its best players to injury here in the second
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: half and have posted the worst record in baseball since
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the All-Star break as a result. No problem, says A's pitching.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Mariners hitters, after scoring three runs in the first inning,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: struck out a season-high 18 times last night against mostly
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: triple-A caliber pitching. They left 14 men on base and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: lost to the lowly A's 7-4 last night. The loss,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: coupled with a Houston win, dropped Seattle six full games
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: out of first place with just 21 games to play
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: this year. And once again, it feels over. Though it's
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: technically not.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: It is not. We still got this. It's going to
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: go down to the wire. We know that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Do we know that?
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Same two teams tonight. Logan Gilbert gets the start for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the Mariners, which is a great thing. JT Ginn, who's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: better than anybody that pitched last night for the A's,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: will start for them. And the first pitch goes down
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: at 7-10 at T-Mobile. The Sounders are back in action
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night. And suddenly... after what feels like the longest
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: losing streak in the history of soccer for a franchise
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that has done nothing but win its entire history, all
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the fans are pumped again because of the acquisition of
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Dejan a couple of weeks ago. And Brian Schmetzer was
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: on with Softie and Fane, as he is every week,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and talked about the addition and the early impact of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the recent trade acquisition and Dejan Jovolych.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Well, that certainly was a tremendous debut. I mean, we've
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: had guys come on and, you know, really make a difference.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: But two goals right away. And, Dick, where I'm going
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: with this is, you know, maybe the quality of the
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: two goals. Because fans that were at the stadium got...
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: a taste of what Deion can do. That first goal,
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: if you watch his movement, we've got the play, we've
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: got a little overload on the right-hand side, and his
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: movement to dip his shoulder to the left and then
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: sprint to the right to get to that ball, he
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: knew where the ball was going. And then the second goal,
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, Albert, you know, passes him a pretty simple pass,
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: top of the box. But his technique that he hits
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: the ball with that adds that little extra juice that
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: gets it, you know, beats a goalkeeper for pace.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: And Brady's a good goalkeeper. He's the third goalkeeper on
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the U.S.
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: National team.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those are.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Man, if he could do that on a weekly basis,
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: he'd be winning some games and making the playoffs for sure.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And he sounds excited again. That's a good thing to hear.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like all the potions in the lab
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: are all, all the smoke's coming up and all the
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: colors and they're bubbling.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I love it. Day on down the line, about a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: half mile or so. And I don't want to really
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: know if you can't score two goals.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: There you go. I don't know what song that was
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: supposed to be.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, you've never heard that song?
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: No.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Sounders in action against New York Red Bull
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: 530 tomorrow. And finally, in the Ocho, it is Labor
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Day weekend. And yes, it's football weekend and soccer weekend
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and baseball weekend and Labor Day and holiday weekend and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: maybe even Pooloween weekend. I don't know. But it's also,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people, fantasy football draft weekend. And so...
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I will leave you, this Ocho, with one final tip
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for your preparation from Dave Richard from CBS Sports as
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: he warns you who not to take early in your draft.
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: I'm not taking Christian McCaffrey with the top six pick,
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: and that's where his ADP is. He's had– we had
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: 450 touches last year. The track record of running backs
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: to get 400-plus touches in a season is not very good.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: It's like a 50-50 chance he'll be like 20, 80
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: percent of what he had last year, a 20 percent decline.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: He's also 30.
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: He's also been dealing with an injury already so far
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: in training camp, along with a bunch of other San
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: Francisco 49ers.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: I have no clue. We can blame the electrical substation
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: or whatever in San Francisco. But something's going on there
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: that's messing them up. And the last time CMC has
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: dealt with 400, not even 400, it's like 380 plus
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: touches in a season, he's been injured the year after.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: And like I said, he's now 30 years old.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I don't mind taking him if it's late round one.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That feels like a value. Dave Richard giving you one
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: last piece of advice before you draft this weekend. We're
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: drafting on Monday. Guess what else is going to happen
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: on Monday? Factor Fiction starts on Monday. Your favorite game
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that we play here on KJR. And it'll start with
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: us at 735 on Monday morning. So make sure you're
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: tuning in. You're playing with every single game that we play.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And maybe you can win some fabulous cash prizes this year.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Day on down the line.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: What song is that supposed to be?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Sail on.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I said day on, honey. Good goals have never felt
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: so good. Okay.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I changed the words.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next, ABC's of the M's on
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Obviously, we're running out of segments
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: here this morning, and I am obligated by my God
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to deliver the ABCs of the M's to you before
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the show comes to a close. So here we're going
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to do it, right here, right here, right now. Let's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: do it, let's do it, let's do it. Daily Mariner segment,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: we allow the alphabet to be a guide, and who
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: knows where the alphabet is going to take us. We
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: are at the tail end of the alphabet, not at
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the very end. But we start with V. V is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: for Vargas. And Carlos Vargas did not pitch all that
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: well last night. And it did strike me. And look,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the loss last night, 7-4 to the A's, had everything
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to do with after the first inning, we just stopped
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: executing as an offense. 18 strikeouts against that pitching staff
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: where it is right now. That's embarrassing. Fourteen men left
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: on base. Same old problem. Nobody can get a big hit.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: That could put a crooked number up. And they did
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: it in the first inning. They just didn't do it
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: after the first inning at any moment. And that's the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: reason that you lost the game. But you didn't get
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: good pitching last night either. Kate Anderson was not sharp.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Gave up four runs. Gave up the lead. Coughed up
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the lead before his time was done in the fifth.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: And I didn't hate seeing Carlos Vargas out on the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: mound for the sixth inning. But I was also thinking, oh, okay,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: so then Dominguez is going to pitch the eighth. Yeah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you trotted Bazzardo back
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: out there in a one-run game.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, wait a minute. I mean, are
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: we really playing those, we're not going to throw our
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: best guys out? because we're trailing by one at this
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: stage in the season? Or do you not truly recognize
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that Dominguez is one of our three or four best
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: relievers right now? I mean, that's not soaked in. He
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: has given up one hit in his last eight innings.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: One hit. Not one run. Well, he has given up
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: one run. It was a homer. One hit in the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: last eight innings. He has been really good since that
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: debut that he made with the Mariners. Certainly better than
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Bazzardo and certainly more trustworthy than Vargas. How is he
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: not pitching? I thought for sure that he would be
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: pitching the sixth when Cade came out of the game.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And then I'm like, oh, okay, good. He's going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: pitch the eighth then. And then we trot out Vargas
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and Bazzardo. And once again, Bazzardo gives up a run,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: loads the bases, and got lucky that he didn't give
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: up more. He has lost his touch. He is not
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: one of our high leverage guys right now. We cannot
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: depend on him. And so I didn't understand it. And
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I still don't understand it. And maybe we wouldn't have
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: scored a run. And maybe we don't win the game
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: no matter what. But I sure like a one-run deficit
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: with three at-bats to go more than I like a
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: two-run deficit. Or a three-run deficit.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, that would be much better than either of
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: those options. Because that's math.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And that brings us to W is for Wilson. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I think Wilson has been our W for like six
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: turns through the alphabet on the ABCs of the M's. Man,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the ABCs of the M's. They are naughty. Relentless.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: But we do have to talk about him. Because, I mean,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I've done a little digging around. Because I want to
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: make sure that I'm not misrepresenting this. And here's the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: conclusion that I've drawn on September 4th. Anybody that is
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: making the statement, be they faceless, coward on social media,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: or even one of my own co-workers that is chalking
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: up every decision to Dan Wilson is a puppet and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: he doesn't make any decisions. Number one is not a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: good defense for Dan Wilson. But more importantly, it just
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: isn't true. You're making it up. You're making it up
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and you've decided to breathe life into it in whatever
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: format you have to share such information.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, that is the thing, because it's not that
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: people are saying it with proof. It's this is what
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I think. So this is what is happening.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, you have flat made it up and you've run
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: with it for years. And it's just not true. I've
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: asked all the parties involved. I did some more digging
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: around this week about it. Dan Wilson, like I've said before,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: every single Major League Baseball team, now that we're in
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the analytics era, has a powwow before the game. And
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: all the analytics nerds give you the information they've come
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: up with, because that's their job, to try to highlight
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: for you, here are the best matchups. Here's what we
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: feel could work in the game. Then the medical staff
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: comes in, and the medical staff tells you who's available
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and who's not. Trainers... And maybe they don't come into
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the room. Maybe they don't literally come into the room,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: but the information is shared from who's available and who's
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: not from a fatigue standpoint. Right. And Pete Woodworth will
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: also weigh in on who he thinks needs a rest
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever the case. And the coaches, they will all
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: weigh in on. And then ultimately, once Dan has that information,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Dan makes the lineup and Dan makes all the in-game decisions.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And frankly, they have not been good this year. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: he is going to lose his job at the end
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of this season. I don't think anything barring a miracle
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: run to the American League Championship Series, and maybe not
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: even that, is going to save him because I don't
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: think that the Mariners' front office and ownership likes what
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson's done as a manager this year.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I would hope not.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And so I don't think that he's going to turn
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it around. I don't think he's going to save his job, uh,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: this season, but this notion that he gets a pass
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: because he's not, he's clearly not making his own decisions
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: is absolute hogwash and enough. I'm tired of reading about
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it and tired of hearing about it. Dan Wilson is,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: negotiated when he took the managerial job. I want to
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: make the lineup. I don't want to be bothered with
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: in-game decisions. He, like every other manager, has to listen
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to the analytics team and even his bosses on what
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: they think. is a good game plan for that particular day.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And certainly he uses that information to help him make
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: those decisions.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: But he is making the lineup decisions. He is making
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the in-game decisions. And he is responsible for managing all
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the players and the coaches in his locker room to
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: produce maximum results. Have we gotten maximum results?
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Nah.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, I know I'm not done. I can say,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about this again. I know
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about this again a lot.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because people are determined that that's the way it is.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: But finally, just please, if one of you stops spreading
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that lie, then I've accomplished something today.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Good luck.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: What is that ad we do with, what was it,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Florence Nightingale? If I can mend one bird, you know,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: if I can mend one bird to stop saying that
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson's a puppet. Then I've accomplished my job today.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Lofty goals, though.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Finally, X is for extremely uncomfortable.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: The Julio Rodriguez conversation is making me extremely uncomfortable as well.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: And I would also like to set the record straight
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: on that. Julio Rodriguez is a very good baseball player.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: He has not yet reached greatness. We all thought he
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: would have by now. I'm not sure any longer that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: he ever will. But he is only 25 years old,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: and so he's just now entering the window of his prime,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and he might. The organization loves him because even though
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he can be a jerk behind the scenes, nobody wants
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: me to tell you this, with the fans, he's gold.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: He is unbelievable with kids, with his you know, his
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: fan group out there and everything else. So he's not
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. He's pretty safe. But if he
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: ever does want to reach greatness, things like understanding the situation,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: awareness have to kick in. He has to start. I
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: say this all the time. Greatness is having great potential
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: met with great opportunity and and then pursuing greatness greatly.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: He has the potential. He's been given the opportunity, but
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: he is not pursuing greatness greatly. Last night, he achieved
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a milestone which is very impressive. Very impressive. First player
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball history. First five years in the league.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: 20 homers and 20 stolen bases in the game. But
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: he got his 20th stolen base last night, his third
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of the night, on an absolute ridiculous time to try
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and run. Down to Cal Raleigh at the plate and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: better Cal Raleigh than the one earlier this year. And
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I swear he was just thinking about getting to his
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: 20th stolen base to get it out of the way
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: last night, which has nothing to do with what is
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the best move to try to win this game. You
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: get thrown out, run yourself out of an inning, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: take away Cal Raleigh's ability to hit a two-run homer
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: right there. I mean, it is the eighth. It would
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: have helped to score another run, get a runner in
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: scoring position. But I would much rather see if Cal
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: can knock the ball out of the ballpark and tie
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the game up. But he was so determined last night
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to get his stat. That's how it felt to me.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And then we had to take time when every single
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Mariner fan is watching the game pissed off. And we
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: got to take time to have a standing ovation celebration
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: for an individual achievement while team is failing again right
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: before our eyes. He's got to fix that. He's never
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: going to get to where he wants to go. He
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: is painfully unaware. Painfully unaware. It's not that he doesn't care.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: It's not that he doesn't work hard. He is painfully
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: unaware of what it takes to be a champion. And
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: somebody needs to fix it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, is that a coaching issue?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: They don't help. They don't help with their Mamby Pamby,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: all we do is pour sugar in your ear approach.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Every single person on the roster, nobody ever wants to
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: be direct with any players because they don't want to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: hurt feelings. They all operate that way. It works for
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Pete Woodworth. Good job, Pete. You've done a good job.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: It's not working for anybody else. And it's not working
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: for Julio. And I'm extremely uncomfortable with doing a standing
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: ovation to applaud someone out for individual achievements on a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: night where it looks like our season is blowing up
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: in front of our face. All right. Coming up next.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Get ready for Millen Day. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: To me, it feels like it should be a holiday.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: It really does.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I get that.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: And I think that I would like to call our
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: holiday Millen Day. because today is the last Friday. We'll
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: do X's and O's, but the last day without a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: football game for Hugh Millen National Football League game to
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: break down. So I think the Friday before the start
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of the National Football League season should forever from this
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: day forward be called Millen Day.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, I bet he was listening right now and just
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: beaming with pride.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: You think?
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: You think this is what he's been waiting for his
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: entire life?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I think so. I think he thinks, you know what?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: So all those training camps were worth it.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: 12-year NFL career, and I finally made it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: All those hits to the head, finally worth it, Hugh. Congratulations.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You've got your own holiday.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Finally worth it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And we could go, we could go like Happy Millen
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Day or Merry Millen Day.
• 32:42

  Speaker 6: when I wear those because it's a sweater.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: But last night, because I'm at the end of my
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: laundry because I skipped the past weekend, I usually do
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: it every Sunday. And so I had to really dip
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: into my second and third string stuff. Like right now,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the underwear I'm wearing is my last string. My final string.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, so you're wearing a thong.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Pretty much. Okay, good for you. It's some underwear. It's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: like a swim, like a Speedo that Unicorn got me
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: for our road trips when I had to like shower
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: outside of our RV. And so that, it's like, it's
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the last bastion and I never get to it. And
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing it right now and it is really uncomfortable.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate you putting the visual in all of
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: our heads.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: It's pinching me in more than one area right now
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: as I'm speaking.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: So, yes, I'm kind of down to my last. So
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I threw on my Dr. J New Jersey Nets jersey,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: which I never, ever wear. It usually just hangs on
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: a hook. And I got made fun of it last
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: night in my own house.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, what are you doing? Going to play basketball? You know,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I got that little cheap shot thrown at me.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: And you know what? So what if I am?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, jersey. I don't think I've ever seen you wear
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: that before. I don't wear it. That's why you've never
• 36:36
