  Speaker 1: have him on tomorrow. But Spencer was supposed to be
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on with us here to talk about the NBA Finals
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: here today, and yet we're gonna have to wait until

• 4:39
  Speaker 1: like practically every damn game.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It does seem like that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to have a lot of opportunity for
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: people to listen to soccer. And there's a lot of
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: opportunity for people to watch soccer even though the game
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: here isn't till Monday.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I mean there's watch parties all over.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I was looking at some of the bars that there's
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: some bars that are basically just going to be open
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: as if there's a World Cup game, they're going to
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: have all the games on and so it doesn't matter
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: what part of town you're in, you can find the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: bar near you that's going to be showing the games.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And then they've got the.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Big barge out there that's going to be showing games,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: and I mean this city is all in.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like the barge thing is crazy. I know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I was watching the video of it coming down Pudget
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Sound the other day and the poor girl on the
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: news was just getting splashed with water off the tarps.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: But it's cool, like they built this whole thing. They've
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: got the containers that they used to build it quickly,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: and it's it's gonna be awesome. They've got like a
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: VIP area up above, and then they've got this mini
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: pitch down.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Below, and well you get sick.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: It's I mean, assuming I don't think it's supposed to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: be choppy and it's not moving, it'll just be floating
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: there off Peer sixty two, I believe. I know it
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: won't be moving, but it'll be moving water. Yeah, it'll
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: be on the water. So as long as it's not
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: choppy like if it was yesterday. I remember how windy or
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: choppy it was yesterday out there. Yeah, yeah, that would
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: make you a little sick. But I don't think we're
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: supposed to get that kind of weather again.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Will you get used to that? Like you're watching soccer
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and it's you're just doing one of these numbers.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: You just have more drinks, and then all of a
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: sudden you're like, it's actually that. People are like the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: barge isn't.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Moving, that's just you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so just balance it. Yeah at that stage, yeah, okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: all right, so yes, let it begin, and we got
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: some beautiful weather to welcome it in and So for
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: those of you that have been waiting for this for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a long period of time, I hope you have. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: hope you have the time of your luck as you've
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: never before. Right now, anders Hurst is holding Jackson Felts
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: above his head and our sports pit balancing him and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and is not that strong, right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I would have actually thought they would have done it
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: the other way around, but I know, I think what
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: they did was tested it both ways and determined that
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: that was I think Jackson really had more of the
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: hops to get up.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It's called adrenaline that he doesn't have any hops and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: anders has no strength.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it is just luck and adrenaline.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Here he is out in our sports but still
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: holding Jackson above his head like Patrick Swayzee, and it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a beautiful thing to see. That's how fired up they
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: are for the World Cup being here. We're gonna have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a Green Jacket Draft preview today coming up at nine
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: o'clock featuring both Jackson Felts and anders Hurst, two men
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in love with soccer. Yes, yes, all right. Well, we
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: also had a big event last night NBA Finals Game
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: number four. San Antonio Spurs historically blow a twenty nine
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: point second half lead at Madison Square Garden. I mean
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I really was. I mean I could taste it. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: could taste the tears dripping from Ben Stiller's eyes. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: could practically taste it from where I was. I know
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that Detective Lift Benson was overlooking an awful lot of
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: crime last night as she was celebrating in the arms
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of Taylor Swift.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, just two besties right there, and one of.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: The strangest displays I've ever seen.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Stevie mixed T shirts.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And I was sure that they were going to lose
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: at the end of this game. I mean everybody should
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: have been sure of that. And then one play at
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a time, they just kept chipping away at the lead,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and they eventually come back and win Game number four
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals by one point over the San
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. And yes, they did have Stevie Nicks T shirts,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: which I thought were very clever. Yeah, And I you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: know what, Taylor Swift is the biggest star in the world,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But she really is just a geeky fifteen year old girl, still,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: isn't she.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and just the ultimate girls girl. She supports everybody.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Well, it's crazy, how big of a sports fan that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: she's become. And I don't know if Travis Kelcey is
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: what's introduced. I guess she's been a little bit of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a New York fan always, but whatever she's gone through
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: with her fiance has put she has now seen sports
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: obviously through a different lens, and now she's just she's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: basically just a fanatic, yeah, over there on the sidelines,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and I think it's adorable. Frankly.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and after there was a video of her down
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: in the tunnel and she's waving the towel and jumping
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: around with her friends. I mean, she is hyped, hyped,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: and I love it because especially when you get celebrities,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: and like you said, the biggest celebrity in the world,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: when you get celebrities, a lot of times they.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Want to seem like they're too cool right there. It's like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, all right, well one of them in New York,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: r act in New York.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: They were all That was kind of the one fun
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: thing was to watch like Jerry Seinfeld's face and you're
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: seeing like Adam Sandler and his wife, and Taylor Swift
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: and her friends and just it was that was kind
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: of fun to watch.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody could not believe it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and some of that. I liked seeing Seinfeld,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and I liked seeing Macenroe because I know he's been
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a big fan four years of the New York Knicks.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And even Stiller, I mean the Chalamey thing and even
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the Stiller thing. He's going way over the top. I'm
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a little sick of seeing that, frankly, but certainly the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: joy of you know, of that celebrity group where they're
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just acting like idiots, yea, like they are overtaken by
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the moment that they're just all acting foolishly on the sidelines,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And I guess there's something endearing about it. They're not
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: worried about how they're seeing, but that's just getting swept
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: up and being a fan of sports.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter how big of a celebrity you are.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And those are some big time celebrities down there
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: on that celebrity row. So I guess they had the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: time of their lives last night as well. But obviously
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for san Antonio, a crushing loss last night, And frankly,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think they have anyone but to blame but themselves.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, most people that I heard this
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: morning talking about it. Comeback, comeback, comeback, comeback was the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: key word that they were using, and surely there was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a twenty nine point comeback. I mean, certainly the Knicks
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: played a large role in being able to erase that deficit.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But in a sports talk world that I feel is
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: way too quick to go to choke I don't even
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like using the word chokes most of the time. When
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I hear people use it in our industry, I kind
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of cringe because I think most times a team just
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't play as well as the other down the stretch, and.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: That more team, it has to be given to the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: better team.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And that team that is coming back has to get
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: more credit for the victory than the other team deserves blame.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I think that's most often the case. I would agree
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: with those sporting events, but there are occasions where it
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: is a choke job. And let's explain what a choke
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: job is. Choke job in sports is when the moment
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: becomes too big for you. That psychologically or not handling
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the pressure of the moment, and that pressure is what's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: causing you not to play as well as you're capable
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of playing. Some people just don't play well down the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: stretch and that's just part of sports. But when you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: let the moment dictate how well or how poorly you're playing,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that is a choke job. And what we watched last
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: night out of San Antonio. I was expecting to hear
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the analysis be that san Antonio choked it away. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: didn't think that the Knicks deserved as much credit for
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: what happened last night. Then the Spurs deserved blame. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: this goes to our guy, Mitch Johnson as well. I mean,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to defend him from the standpoint
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of He's never been in that moment before. He's never
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: had a situation like that, so how is he expected
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to handle it perfectly? But he sort of you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know that old Simpson's clip where Homer just kind
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of like slips back onto the bush into the bushes.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel that's the way Mitch Johnson handled
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that second half collapse. I mean, where were you? You
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: need to be out in front of that, and instead
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he is letting his players play the way you would
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: if you were trying to give away a game. I mean,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: what is up with the quick three point attempts? Why
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: are you shooting threes? At all unless they're wide open.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And at the five second mark of the shot clock,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: why are you not throwing to your best player down
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in the paint. Any points, any points that you can get,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: are going to keep the New York Knicks from cutting
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: away at that big, giant lead. But they were sloppy
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: down the stretch. They were shooting too quickly, they were
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: making irrational decisions, and then on top of it all,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they couldn't make a basket. I mean, the Knicks were
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: still missing shots down the stretch. They were still turning
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the ball over. They weren't playing the way that normally
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a team plays when they overcome some huge deficit and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: take take the victory away at the last second. No,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it was so much more san Antonio dissolving in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: moment rather than rising to the moment, just dissolving right
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: before our eyes, that it was startling for me from
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that standpoint, I thought, Ashley, they'd gotten over the hurdle
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with the thunder in the Western Conference finals, that was
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: going to be the thing that triggered them that they
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be prone to something like this in the NBA Finals.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But four and then they overcome Madison Square Garden in
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: game number three. So you thought, Okay, well that's another
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: check mark. That's another sign of maturation, that's another sign
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: of growth. They're not going to be intimidated by Madison
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Square Garden in game number four. But it's as if
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: they just like crumbled right before our eyes in game
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: number four and just choked that thing away. And I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: don't know any other way to describe it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: No, there's no other explanation for it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're up by twenty nine, and the only
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: way to lose that game is to have epically collapsed
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: and to have choked.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And that's what they did.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I mean when they were when the lead had gotten
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: down to nine, and San Antonio took the ball and
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't remember who it was.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: If it was Castle, maybe it was.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: They went for a quick three, and I just looked
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: at the TV and I looked at five iron, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I was like, why are you shooting a three right there?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Because just at least waste time off the clock. They
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: didn't waste any time off the clock. They didn't drive
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: into the paint, they did nothing other than a quick three.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: So of course the Knicks get it, go down and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: they make the baskets, so now it's only a seven
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: point lead. It's like, I mean, at very least you
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: get a foul, you make one free throw something, so
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: that you're at least getting some points and.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Burning a clock. And they did none of that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: They just and then I have no explanation for why
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: timeout was not taken before the lead was down to
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: four that I can't understand that timeout should have I mean,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: once the lead was at fifteen twelve like that, that's
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: where that timeout should have come.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: And instead it would just Mitch Johnson.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: It was almost like he waited to see if the
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Spurs could figure out on their own what to do.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: There was no adjustment to how we should protect the lead,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and at various points when they were up twenty nine
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: they did They pretty much were implementing a game plan
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of how you could blow a twenty nine point lead.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: When the Spurs had the lead cut to fifteen at
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the end of the quarter, you still have a fifteen
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: point lead, and there was no adjustment made on how
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you should conduct yourself with a fifteen point lead. In
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when it got down to twelve, there
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: was no adjustment made to how you should hold on
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to a twelve point lead in a game when it
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: got down to nine, there was no adjustment made to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: how you hold on to a nine point lead with
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: three minutes to go, even when it was down to
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: one point. Daron Fox has the ball in his hands
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: with ten seconds to go and decides to drive for
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the basket against two other defenders, one of them a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: foot taller than him, instead of dribbling out to the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: corner trying to kill clock, get fouled, and then take
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: your two free throws. I mean, if you could do
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it the wrong way, the Spurs did it the wrong
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: way last night, and that was the only way that
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the Knicks were coming back. The Knicks had to play well, yes,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: which they did, but I think it had a lot
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: more to do with the Spurs invented ways to continuously
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: squander that giant lead last night. And it does have
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to fall on the head coach, and it's certainly going
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to hover over Victor Winbinyama's legacy early on in his career.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make your free throws, make your free throws.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And where are you when? Why are we getting him
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the ball? I mean, there were just if they could
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: invent ways to blow a big lead. They were doing
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it last night in San Antonio, so there's nothing to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: blame it on. It's not the refs, it's not man.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: The Knicks just were out of their minds down the stretch. Nope,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you blew a twenty nine point lead because you played
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: stupid basketball for an entire half last night. Charles Barkley
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: nailed it as soon as the game was over. That
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: was just dumb basketball.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's disappointing too, because when the Spurs took
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Game three and he thought, okay, look they could even
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: this up. It could we could have a great series
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: once they head back to San Antonio.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: This is going to be great.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: And you're even thinking, as the game's going on last night, well, okay,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: they're blowing this lead and we're going to get an
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: exciting ending.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: But for it to end that way, I don't know.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: It was just disappointing.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Exciting for New York fans obviously, but to have watched
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: what happened to the Spurs was just yeh.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: ABC's of the m's Next. On Sports Radio ninety three
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM, It's Chuck Powell Ashley Ryan with you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: here on the radio program. Yes, the ABC's of the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: MS a Daily Mariner segment where we allowed the alphabet
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to be our guide through a few different Mariner topics.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: The team lost last night to the Baltimore Orioles seven
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to two, and let's bottom line it for you. Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they went into the game trying to win the game
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: last night, but they put an awful lot of it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: on on George Kirby's shoulders, George Kirby, who's been struggling
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: as of late. And I think the game plan was, well,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: hopefully we score runs and hopefully George dominates, because really
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the objective tonight is to not use anyone in our bullpen.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I think that kind of was the objective. And so
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: George gets into some trouble in the sixth inning, finally
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: gives up some runs, and at three to nothing, they
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: went into plan B. And Plan B was, do not
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: use the bullpen tonight if we can avoid it. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: they brilliant in Domingo Gonzales, and he pitched the seventh
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and the eighth, and so it was one of those
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: games where it's like, hey, three nothing deficit, We're just
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: gonna use this to kind of make our team healthier
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: for tomorrow and beyond. I don't love that, but I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: do think Major League Baseball teams use that on occasion,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and that certainly was the case last night.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can understand them doing it. It's just frustrating
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: as a Mariners fan who have seen them move into
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: this six man rotation and then do something like that
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: when I could have sworn that's what the piggyback was doing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't really see any reason why we should
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: be this then in our bullpen at this stage in
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the season, but we are, and that's where they're at
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: right now. So that's what went down last night, seven
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: two loss to the Baltimore Orioles, and now you run
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the risk of being split, having a split with Baltimore
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: after stealing those two crazy games at the start of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the series. You got to face Kyle Bradish tonight and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the Mariners will pitch Brian wu. But let's get to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the abcs of the MS and R is for restructure
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: are what are we going to do when Brendan Donovan.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: If Brendan Donovan it's been a long time since we've
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: even had an update on Brendan Donovan comes back. What
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: is that going to do to the infield? That now
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: features Colt Emerson, and yet he's hurt and JP's on
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the injury list, and JP announced I'm willing to move
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to third, and yet they haven't moved him to third.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Cole Young's has played more baseball than anyone else in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the world so far this season. Might need a day off,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: but he's obviously established himself as the starting second baseman
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: for not just now, but maybe the next ten twelve
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: years here with the Seattle Mariners, and so three infield positions,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: four guys minimum. What are we going to do when
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan is healthy again? I asked Ryan Healy about
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: this on Tuesday. There'll be a rotation of those.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I think Brendan Donovan will give Cole Young a blow
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: once in a while. I think Brendan Donovan can slot
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: into And here's the issue. You can't slot actually Brendan
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Donovan into one of the out to positions because you're
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: not gonna you might give Randy Roserena a day, but
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: also that to you posts every single day, and you
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: already got a platoon situation going on the right field,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: So adding a left handed bats to an already left
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: handed heavy rotation will be tough. I really think that
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: it's gonna have to be a consistent rotation between the
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: three and spots of second, short, and third, where you
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: see four infielders now playing three spots and you just
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: kind of move them in a cycle.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Boy, I love Ryan Healy that I do not like
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: that solution.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: It seems like a non solution, like it's just, oh,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: we've got all these let's just mess around like platoon.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: It all everything that feels.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: To me like we got to try to keep everybody
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: as happy as they can without making anybody happy. Yeah, Height,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: there's no way that I want to see Cole Young
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: come out of the lineup every four games. I you know,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I think there's a difficult decision that is coming, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: it's either one of two things. It's one of two things.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Unless Cold Emerson's game falls off, He's playing every day.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Cole Young's playing every day. So your decision comes down
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to whether or not you're going to tell JP Crawford, hey,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you're a bench guy now, or if you're going to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: tell Brendan Donovan, you know what, we did really like
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you in that super utility role. That's what you're going
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to play, and that is spotting Cole Young on occasion,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: spotting Colt Emerson on occasion, maybe really getting some playing
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: time away from JP Crawford, some DH time for Donovan,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: And yes, I think he could also get some outfield
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: time as well. He's not gonna be any worse defensively
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: than Randy rose Arena in left field, I can promise
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you that. But a rose Arena has been amazing offensively,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: so you keep his lineup, his bat in the lineup
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: every single day. So I mean, not a bad problem
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to have, but it's not gonna be the easiest decision
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to make here again for the team. Plus, I think
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: they need to upgrade with another offensive piece before the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: trading deadline, which is going to crowd things even further.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: To me, I'm just gonna go back to what I've
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: been saying all year long. I'm just playing the best guys.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure JP's the best guy for this group anymore.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I think Cold Emerson's a better shortstop. I think Brendan
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Donovan's going to be a better third baseman, Cole Young's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: going to be a better second baseman. And I don't
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: think JP hits well enough to justify him being the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: everyday DH, So that's I think that my solution is
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that JP's a bench guy. Now I don't know the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: intricacies of how that's going to play inside a clubhouse,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: which will be part of this. Ryan Healy seems to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: think that that will be a really negative effect of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: if you bench JP Crawford, it could have a negative
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: effect on the entire clubhouse at this point. But I
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: don't like the idea of just a full rotation between
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the four of them. I just don't like that.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Well, and it seems like we keep having to say, well,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: that's not a bad problem to have, but the bad
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: problems not bad problems to have, are problems clearly because
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: it's something that keeps getting talked about. And yeah, it's
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: nice to the idea of having too many people to
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: fill the positions, but it is actually a problem.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I would rather have one person really dissatisfied than four
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: people dissatisfied. Yeah, yeah, that's how I would approach it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. I mean, we haven't gotten an update
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: on Donovan. Who knows when that's even going to Yeah,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask that S is for suboptimal. Well,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Matt Brash, maybe we now know there was more to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: what was happening with him the other night than just
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: didn't have time to get loose or just had an
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: off night. Looks like Matt Brash is injured again, and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: this time it's a lot. So who knows how long
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: we're going to be without Matt Brash. But he's been
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: as effective as anybody out of our bullpen. Well, I'm
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: not even going to softball it. He has been our
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: most effective piece this season out of the bullpen went healthy,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: but now we're looking at another stint without him being available.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: When you think about trading deadline, I will almost guarantee
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: you that Jerry and Justin are going down add a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: bullpen piece, even though five really good pieces and a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: couple of other interesting pieces, and who knows what we're
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: going to do with starting pitching, we could add another
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: bullpen piece that to me, gives you more depth than
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: everybody else. I think it's one of those things like
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: pass rushing in the National Football League. I don't think
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Jerry and Justin can have enough bullpen arms, and so
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I think they will add a piece at the trading deadline,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and Matt Brash, his inability to stay healthy is certainly
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: going to emphasize that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think, thank goodness they have the philosophy
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: of you can't have enough bullpen arms, because look at
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: what situation we're in right now when you'd think we
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: have enough, so add more, yes, please?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And finally, t is four Tacoma cal Raley in Tacoma.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: We know that he did not play yesterday. No surprise there.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: We kind of told you that was going to be
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the approach. He hit and caught. So the next day,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: let's give him a day off and then I would
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: assume what's coming tonight, and tom Is cal Raley hits
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and catches all nine innings, that would to me be
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the next stage in the process. But I'll say this,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I think that there was a plan to take him
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: all the way through the weekend in Tacoma, building up
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: his endurance again. But if he hits another two home
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: runs tonight and reports that I didn't have any issues
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: with the side for nine innings, Ashley, I'm sending him
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to Washington, d C. For Friday. Yeah.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: At that point, I feel like you have to because
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: he's showing that one he's clear. I mean, granted it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: against it's in Tacoma, it's not in the majors, but
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: he's clearly seeing the ball a bit better than he
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: was or having some better luck and then not being
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: hampered by that injury, which who knows how long it
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: was really bothering him.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: So yeah, take advantage of the fact that he's feeling good.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not wasting home runs in Tacoma. Echno from cal Rawley.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: If he's finally kind of like for whatever reason, like
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the time away did him some good and cleared his
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: head and got his swing back, and the injury may
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: have helped from that standpoint that he had to go
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: go back to like technically he had to kind of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: start his swing completely over in his rehab process, and
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: this time he did it the right way. Yeah, you
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: know then, I don't want to waste Cayl Roley home
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: runs in Tacoma. I'm ready to activate him by tomorrow
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: if I see what I need to see out of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: him tonight. If not, he'll be there tomorrow. I'll look
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: forward to watching this game. I'm gonna be out there
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: with Riley Pay calling the game tomorrow night. So that
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: certainly helped. That certainly makes my Friday night more enjoyable
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: to have Kyle play in the game last night. But
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: part of me is a big part of me is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: rooting that he looks so good today that he's in
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: our lineup tomorrow in DC.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a win win situation. If he's there,
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: you get the bonus of getting to watch him. If
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: he's not, that means he's healthy enough to be back
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: with the big team.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Tea is also for Talela Resort Casino. That is your
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: home for everything. When I want everything, t Laylap has everything.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: It's even in their slogan everything head on out to
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Talalap Resort Casino. Yeah. I don't think this way, but
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Ashley made a great point like soccer's pretty much like
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: a perfect sport to bet on, right Yeah, I mean
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because you could probably bet on the halves,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you could bet on players, you could bet on pool play.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could bet on World Cup favorites.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Head on out Draftking Sportsbook. If you've got the FEVA,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the World Cup FEVA, And yet you don't want to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: be downtown where it could be crazy. You like a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: little more of the intermediate lane, not the slow lane,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: but the intermediate lane for your soccer enjoyment. Talala Prasort
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Casino sounds like a perfect place for you to take
• 29:37

  Speaker 2: Oh man wit A Jackson felt sighting.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: I can let you know the excitement ten is he
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: pitching at ten?
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I did not ask or look.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I don't believe you.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, I looked.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: No Seahawks one Series continues today. I don't care how
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: much World Cup excitement we have. I don't care how
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: much blood flow there is in the sports bit. We're
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: still gonna do the Seahawks one Series is a daily thing.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: We do it every June. We're not going to just
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: abandon it at its greatest moment of need. So we
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: got a brand new fresh analyst coming your way at
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: nine thirty here this morning and out of towner. It's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: out of towner Thursday here today, So we'll do that
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: at nine thirty today. But yesterday we add on Dick
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Fane and he chose to break down Tory Horton, who
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: made a nice impression last year for what little time
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: he was on the football field. And I'm not just
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: talking about the injury, but obviously he didn't spend a
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: lot of time on the field in the starting lineup.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I think, what eight catches on the season, but we
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: are thirteen catches on the season. They have five touchdowns.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Crazy ratio for Tory Horton. But we should see as
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: long as he's healthy, more Tory Horton this year. And
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: yet I emphasized the word should. We don't know exactly
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: how that's going to look. But I did ask Dick
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Fane at the end of our conversation, what's his expectation
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: for Horton? What kind of player does he think he's
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: going to ultimately be?
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: When you're just talking about potential, I'm like a seven
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: and a half. I mean I think he could. I
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: think he could be a legitimate if staying healthy. I
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: don't think he's a number one in the NFL. I
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: do think Tory Horton could be a legitimate number two
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: wide receiver in the NFL. And I mean, if he
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: stays healthy, I think I think he could be. I mean,
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: we've talked to Hugh for a long time about him.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: He is very high on Tory Horton. It's just the health, right,
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: And so if Tory Horton gets out of this injury mode,
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: I don't know why down the road and mentioned already that.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's twenty three years of age and it's
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: going to be twenty three almost this entire season, So
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: he's got like four years, four seasons of prime before
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: you even start to think about he's going to be
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: heading the other way. I don't see why he couldn't
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: be a seventy catch, sixty five catch, nine hundred to
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: one thousand yard receiver at some point during that four
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: year stretch.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be this year, right.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: But it could be when Rashid Shaheed. Let's let's say
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: Tory Horton explodes over the next couple of years and
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks say, okay, yeah, we were not going to
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: have a nineteen million dollar cap hit in twenty twenty
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: eight for Rashid Zaheed. We're gonna cut him and then boom,
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Cooper Cup's gone at that time, Boom, all of a sudden,
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Tory Horten's your number two behind JSN And I think
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Seahawks fans would be really happy about that if they
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: saw the progression over the next couple of years.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: All right, Dick, than yesterday when here the entire conversation,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you could do so at ninety three to three KJR
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: dot Com, I think those are that's a I think
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: that's a reasonable ceiling to set for Tory Horton. First
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and foremost, he has to stay healthy. He wasn't healthy
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: last year, as Dick pointed out, the longest recovered shin
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: injury in the history of football. And then of course
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: he had injury for his last year at Colorado State,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: which affected his draft status as well. So I mean,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: there's a chance that he's one of those guys that
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: he just can't stay healthy. It's happens. It happens in
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the National Football League, but we don't want to label
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: him that way either. But there certainly is a chance.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: There's been a setting there for that potential. Let's put
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it that way, and I think if healthy, I think
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: those are reasonable expectations. That's a that's a pretty decent ceiling,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a number two receiver that could put up those kind
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: of numbers. But what the part that I think has
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: to be emphasized from that clip is not this year.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen this year. I think this is
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cups last year. But as long as he's there,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup's going to outrank Tory Horton, Rashid Shah. They
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: spent an awful lot of money on him, and not
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: just to be a kick returner, like he's going to
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: have a bigger role. I would imagine he's gonna do
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of Jets sweeps because that Brian Fleury seemed
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: to like doing that in San Francisco. So I would
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: imagine that's going to be part of Shiheed's game going forward.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: And so I don't see Tory Orton taking that step forward.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: And then something else that I pointed out a couple
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: of times, I'm expecting to see a lot more double
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: tight end this year from this team. I'm expecting Robbie
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Hoots to play a role on this team. So I
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: don't know how frequently we're going to go to three
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: receiver sets, probably less than in the past four receiver sets,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: certainly less than in the past five receiver sets. Maybe never,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: you know, So I don't know how often. I mean,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: it's nice to have depth, and it's nice to have versatility.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: It's a very versatile receiving corps. You had Jake Bobo
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to this what a versatile receiving corps. But where is
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the playing time for Tory Horton If he's fourth on
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: the depth chart and you're planning on using Barner and
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Arroyo on the field at the same time a lot
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: more this year, and oots and running back X on
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the field a lot more this season, I'm not sure
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: that you're just gonna see a lot of Tory Horton
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: this year mass wise.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't imagine.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: But we are still gonna get glimpses, and in those glimpses,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling we can see some pretty fun
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: flashes of what he's actually capable of.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Us. For sure, he's been great and glimpses, there's no
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: question about it. So keeping him healthy and figuring out
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: his role going forward but I'm with Dick not this year,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: but probably by next year, maybe you've seen enough development
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: that he does become your number two receiver behind JSN
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: starting next season. All right, Coming up next though, on
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the program, we're going to preview the World Cup as, oh,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the only way we know how to do it. We're
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: going to draft. We've got not one, two local experts
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: in house. I can't wait till they go head to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: head on some of these topics of conversation. I hear
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: these guys are biters, scratchers. There's nothing they won't do
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to gouge out an eyeball or two that's right to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: get their point across when it comes to the beautiful game.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: We'll talk World Cup next on KJR
