- 1:17Speaker 3: Oh, thanks to all the highlights from the Major League
- 1:19Speaker 3: Baseball playoffs yesterday.
- 1:21Speaker 1: They're on ABC, ESPN. Was there any Westwood one in there?
- 1:26Speaker 6: No?
- 1:28Speaker 2: ABC?
- 1:28Speaker 1: And yes, yeah, all right, so yes, Major League Baseball.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Did you notice that the games are a little a
- 1:37Speaker 3: little more intense because it was October and not September
- 1:40Speaker 3: from the day before.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Oh oh, you noticed that matter?
- 1:45Speaker 3: Yeah, like September baseball playoffs is awesome, but October come on.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Big difference.
- 1:51Speaker 3: I didn't necessarily a lot more intense, considerably more intense.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And there was some pumpkin spice flavor added to it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Really you did like smell it in case the TV.
- 2:02Speaker 3: No, not at all.
- 2:03Speaker 1: It just happens. It's just in your system. Okay, yes,
- 2:06Speaker 1: comes through. Uh huh okay. So wonderful stuff last night.
- 2:10Speaker 3: All right, So one team has punched their ticket to
- 2:12Speaker 3: the Divisional round and the wildcard round. That is the
- 2:15Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers did advance over the Cincinnati Reds and
- 2:18Speaker 3: straight games two. Oh, so they move on to take
- 2:21Speaker 3: on the Philadelphia Phillies. That'll be a heck of a series.
- 2:25Speaker 3: The Cleveland Guardians, the game that we're most interested in,
- 2:29Speaker 3: did defeat the Detroit Tigers six to one, so they're
- 2:32Speaker 3: going to settle that game that series today at noon.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I'll get back to that in a moment.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Padres won over the Cubs three to nothing, so they
- 2:41Speaker 3: even lept their series. And the Yankees defeated the Red
- 2:44Speaker 3: Sox last night four to three. They will play tonight
- 2:47Speaker 3: at five o'clock to decide that series. At Yankee Stadium
- 2:51Speaker 3: Yankees versus Red Sox, Incredible, Padres and Hubs will play
- 2:55Speaker 3: at two o'clock. Meanwhile, the Guardians and Tigers will play
- 2:58Speaker 3: today at noon, so they're backing it up a little
- 3:02Speaker 3: bit because they're only three games to play as post four.
- 3:05Speaker 1: So at three o'clock, we.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Will know the opponent for the Mariners in the divisional round,
- 3:09Speaker 3: which we'll start on Saturday.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe we'll know roster.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Decisions later on this evening once we know the opponent,
- 3:17Speaker 3: maybe we'll know who's going to start game number one.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Once we know the opponent, there could be some critical
- 3:23Speaker 3: announcements made by the Mariners later this evening, but they
- 3:25Speaker 3: don't have to make those decisions until Friday. In the meantime,
- 3:29Speaker 3: the Mariners scrimmage. They had a scrimmage yesterday at two o'clock.
- 3:32Speaker 3: All went well. They're going to have another one today
- 3:34Speaker 3: at five o'clock. Hopefully all will go well. Of course,
- 3:37Speaker 3: there's some other things going on at five o'clock today,
- 3:40Speaker 3: the Yankees Red Sox series, for example. Also Thursday Night Football,
- 3:45Speaker 3: and it's an NFC West affair. Tonight, the Los Angeles
- 3:48Speaker 3: Rams will be hosting Mac Jones and the San Francisco.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Forty nine ers.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Brock Purdy is out with an injury, and so Mac
- 3:56Speaker 3: Jones will start against the Rams, who have gone from
- 3:58Speaker 3: a point and a half favorite to an eight and
- 4:00Speaker 3: a half point favorite this week. We'll talk to Mike
- 4:04Speaker 3: Sandu about that later on at nine thirty. Today, we'll
- 4:06Speaker 3: talk to our own guys Hugh Mellan and Greg Bell
- 4:09Speaker 3: with a twelve man roundtable starting at eight o'clock today,
- 4:12Speaker 3: So from eight to nine we'll break down Seahawks versus Buccaneers,
- 4:16Speaker 3: Nicki min Wori, all sorts of headlines there to discuss,
- 4:19Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, you name it, and the Huskies will be
- 4:21Speaker 3: an action against the Maryland Terrapins this Saturday. At twelve thirty,
- 4:26Speaker 3: our own David Softy Maller now joins this.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Hey, is it is it Saturday at one oh eight
- 4:32Speaker 1: or five thirty eight?
- 4:33Speaker 2: Yet?
- 4:34Speaker 1: It's not just yet? Not just yet. We'll let you know.
- 4:37Speaker 7: We'll give you a little heads up. I'll text you
- 4:40Speaker 7: got for God? Can we can we maybe do your
- 4:43Speaker 7: boy a favor over here? Once you have the Yankees
- 4:46Speaker 7: win this series so that the Mariners can play at
- 4:48Speaker 7: five thirty eight on Saturday.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I'll see what I can do from a selfish perspective.
- 4:53Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm no Yankee fan, but I'd love to see
- 4:56Speaker 7: that game at five thirty eight. We got a Husky
- 4:58Speaker 7: Football game at twelve thirty and if the Red Sox win,
- 5:01Speaker 7: the Mariners play at one o'clock. So just you tell
- 5:04Speaker 7: me how many folks are watching listening to Husky Football
- 5:07Speaker 7: at one o'clock on Saturday if the Mariners are playing
- 5:10Speaker 7: at the same time the Dogs are.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I hear it, I hear you, I hear you.
- 5:13Speaker 3: I mean I I think we match up better than
- 5:16Speaker 3: the Red Sox, thinking than the Yankees. Thinking about that
- 5:19Speaker 3: later down the road, but I'm not worried about either one.
- 5:22Speaker 3: I think that's something I can jump on board with.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, well I'm not.
- 5:25Speaker 7: You know, it's really funny, and I kind of feel
- 5:28Speaker 7: like I should be worried about somebody. Uh, And I
- 5:31Speaker 7: feel like I'm getting kind of cocky if I'm sitting
- 5:34Speaker 7: around saying, ah, nobody scares me blah.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But you know, nobody really scares me.
- 5:37Speaker 7: I mean, I think that this is this is kind
- 5:40Speaker 7: of exactly what we thought was going to happen, maybe
- 5:43Speaker 7: more so in the Al West than the actual American League.
- 5:47Speaker 7: That the freaking thing is wide open this year, man,
- 5:49Speaker 7: I mean even and you guys remember this, the year
- 5:51Speaker 7: the Mariners won one hundred and sixteen games, the A's
- 5:54Speaker 7: won one hundred and two, for God's sakes and finished
- 5:57Speaker 7: in second place.
- 5:58Speaker 1: In the division. So there's there's no what do you
- 6:00Speaker 1: like that in the American League this year? Man? So
- 6:03Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 6:03Speaker 7: I just kind of feel like the team that scares
- 6:05Speaker 7: me the most is our tape that if they just
- 6:07Speaker 7: can't get their act together and they've taken too much
- 6:10Speaker 7: time off and they're a little rusty or whatever, I
- 6:12Speaker 7: don't know, the moment. I don't think the moment should
- 6:14Speaker 7: be a problem for them. They got a ton of
- 6:15Speaker 7: guys on this team that have got playoff experience. But
- 6:18Speaker 7: I just feel like, if they play their best baseball,
- 6:21Speaker 7: nobody can stop us.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:23Speaker 8: Well, I mean I think that they're confident and I
- 6:26Speaker 8: don't Yeah, you do, especially at this time in the morning.
- 6:30Speaker 8: Usually when I listen to you in the afternoon, doesn't
- 6:32Speaker 8: sound sexy at all.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Right now, Super, I'll start the show off at three
- 6:37Speaker 1: o'clock just like that for you. Welcome to the five
- 6:40Speaker 1: twenty Softy in Dick. Well, yeah, whenever you announce your
- 6:45Speaker 1: your the name of your show, it does get me roused. Anywow, Well, I.
- 6:49Speaker 7: Mean that's Bucky Jacobson, by the way, it is uncomfortable
- 6:54Speaker 7: Lucky or not Jacobson.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Softy in Dick every day, every day three o'clock.
- 6:59Speaker 7: By the way, every time I he Cutter and Buck
- 7:00Speaker 7: pop up on like social media, I think it says
- 7:03Speaker 7: Chuck and Buck.
- 7:05Speaker 1: You guys have that same problem.
- 7:06Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. But there's a movie name Chuck and
- 7:09Speaker 7: Buck too. By the way, yes, yes, do you wear that.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Very well, very well? And you're not using like that
- 7:14Speaker 1: movie poster is like your official show like imagery or
- 7:17Speaker 1: because of what the movie is about. Yeah, yeah, Chucking Buck,
- 7:22Speaker 1: That's what that movie is all about, Bucky. Yeah, Chuck's true.
- 7:27Speaker 1: All right? So who you giving the ball to on Saturday?
- 7:30Speaker 3: Uh?
- 7:31Speaker 7: Geez, probably George Kirby to be honest with you, what
- 7:34Speaker 7: I mean. Yeah, I just don't know if Brian wu
- 7:37Speaker 7: was ready.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I mean he's not. He's not pitching on Saturday or Sunday?
- 7:41Speaker 2: Right?
- 7:41Speaker 1: Is that is that fair?
- 7:42Speaker 7: Can we all agree on that that? They've made that
- 7:44Speaker 7: pretty clear? It kind of feels that way that maybe
- 7:46Speaker 7: Game three.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Yeah, so he won't throw it. Well, it's either it's
- 7:50Speaker 1: either George Kirby or Logan Gilbert.
- 7:52Speaker 7: I mean, I'm just looking up some numbers here, and
- 7:54Speaker 7: you know, look, I realized that some of this stuff
- 7:56Speaker 7: doesn't really matter because we don't really have a big
- 7:58Speaker 7: enough sample. But Logan Gilbert has made twenty starts in
- 8:01Speaker 7: his career, whereas he he's had six days off or
- 8:04Speaker 7: more and he's got a two point four to three ERA.
- 8:07Speaker 7: George Kirby's got eighteen starts and he's got a three
- 8:10Speaker 7: eight seven era. Castillo's got forty three with a three
- 8:14Speaker 7: eight three. Brian Wu six days or more fourteen, his
- 8:18Speaker 7: ERA is over five. Okay, So go back a couple
- 8:22Speaker 7: of years ago when he took eighteen days off and
- 8:24Speaker 7: he came back against the White Sox and was okay,
- 8:26Speaker 7: but he was on a pitch count, you know, sixty
- 8:28Speaker 7: five pitches, and I don't know, I mean, I just
- 8:30Speaker 7: got a I got a hard time fathoming the Mariners
- 8:33Speaker 7: putting anybody on a pitch count right now in the
- 8:36Speaker 7: freaking playoffs, especially in a five game series. But is
- 8:39Speaker 7: it possible that we can see Brian wu pitch Game
- 8:42Speaker 7: three against the Tigers or Guardians and actually be on
- 8:45Speaker 7: a freaking pitch count because he's taken two and a
- 8:47Speaker 7: half weeks off.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Maybe because of injury.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, maybe because of injury, but I don't think
- 8:53Speaker 3: anybody else will be I think you saw that in
- 8:55Speaker 3: this round. Like there, if Logan Gilbert, let's say he
- 8:58Speaker 3: gets the start and he said there in the fifth
- 9:00Speaker 3: inning and pitch efficiency hasn't been great and he's up
- 9:03Speaker 3: over one hundred pitches, but he's dominating.
- 9:05Speaker 1: They're not getting hits off of him. They're not going
- 9:07Speaker 1: to take him out because of his pitch count. As
- 9:09Speaker 1: long as he's dominating, they'll they'll push him. Well, you
- 9:12Speaker 1: saw what yeah my Marono did last night.
- 9:14Speaker 7: I mean, god, you know, thanks to Taoscar Hernandez, the
- 9:17Speaker 7: guy had to bust his ass in the first sitting yesterday.
- 9:19Speaker 7: And I never would have thought he would have lasted
- 9:21Speaker 7: as long as he did. But what he do one
- 9:22Speaker 7: and ten hundred and fifteen pitches last night for the Dodgers,
- 9:25Speaker 7: whatever the hell that was? So, I mean, for me,
- 9:27Speaker 7: it's either Logan Gilbert or George Kirby. Probably Logan Gilbert
- 9:30Speaker 7: to be totally honest with you, now that I kind
- 9:32Speaker 7: of wiped the crud out of my eyes and look
- 9:33Speaker 7: at these numbers I got in front of my face,
- 9:35Speaker 7: I'd probably say, Logan Gilbert gets the ball on Saturday.
- 9:38Speaker 1: A fine in charge?
- 9:39Speaker 7: You should be in charge all. We've all felt that
- 9:42Speaker 7: way for you guys. Who's getting the ball for you
- 9:43Speaker 7: guys in Game one? I got a Logan, Yeah, Bardy, I'm.
- 9:47Speaker 8: Giving it to Luis Castillo. I just think he's been
- 9:51Speaker 8: thrown well as of late. One of the criticians I've
- 9:55Speaker 8: had of him since he's been a Mariner has been
- 9:57Speaker 8: when I feel like he plays down pitches, down news
- 10:00Speaker 8: competition at times. But that's also because we've seen him
- 10:03Speaker 8: rise to the occasion and he's thrown really well. Out
- 10:05Speaker 8: of all of our starters. He's thrown the best against
- 10:08Speaker 8: these guys. Now, Logan's thrown well against Cleveland as well.
- 10:12Speaker 8: He's telling that they've all I'm not really going to
- 10:14Speaker 8: be mad regardless of who they put out there in
- 10:16Speaker 8: Game one.
- 10:17Speaker 7: To be honest, yeah, yeah, I mean you could you
- 10:18Speaker 7: can make an argument for probably any three of those guys,
- 10:21Speaker 7: like who's got the best stuff, Probably Kirby who's pitching
- 10:23Speaker 7: the best right now the last three or four games,
- 10:25Speaker 7: Probably Castillo, who's got a better history in this situation.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Probably the Logan Gilbert.
- 10:30Speaker 7: I think, Chuck, you just take Logan, I'll take Kirby
- 10:33Speaker 7: for giggles, Bucky, you take Luis Castillo, and the winner
- 10:36Speaker 7: gets Ashley.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Okay, all right, get to take her home.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Okay.
- 10:42Speaker 9: I thought it couldn't get more uncomfortable.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Well it did, yes exactly. Calloween, come on, what are
- 10:52Speaker 1: you thinking about Ashley and doing up there in Mill Creek?
- 10:58Speaker 1: But that's not that we roll. We roll the days.
- 11:00Speaker 7: It's nothing out the way Bucky rolls in North Bend,
- 11:02Speaker 7: and I don't know what the hell Chuck's doing a Kirklin,
- 11:04Speaker 7: but we're not doing those types of things, you know anything.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I'm just I did, guys.
- 11:09Speaker 7: Honestly, I am just so freaking jacked up for Saturday
- 11:12Speaker 7: and Sunday, and really again from a selfish perspective, hoping
- 11:15Speaker 7: this thing is.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Is it late a later start Saturday so I can
- 11:20Speaker 1: get my ass down there.
- 11:21Speaker 7: I'm already panicking, I'm already gonna sweat, I'm already flipping
- 11:24Speaker 7: out with anxiety, trying to figure out how I'm gonna
- 11:26Speaker 7: get from Queen Anne Hill because we're doing the show
- 11:29Speaker 7: from Tom's watch bar for the Maryland postgame show on Saturday,
- 11:32Speaker 7: all the way down to Soto in time for a
- 11:34Speaker 7: five thirty eight first pitch on Saturday night. And then
- 11:37Speaker 7: I'm already panicking, thinking, how is a fifty two year
- 11:39Speaker 7: old man because the last time I saw a marin
- 11:41Speaker 7: a playoff game, by the way, I was twenty seven
- 11:43Speaker 7: years old. Because I was not at that Houston game
- 11:45Speaker 7: because I was working a Husky game that day against Arizona.
- 11:48Speaker 7: But I was a fifty two year old man gonna
- 11:50Speaker 7: handle three hours of Seahawk football everything that comes along
- 11:54Speaker 7: with that pregame intermission between the Seahawks and the MS,
- 11:57Speaker 7: and then get my ass over to T Mobile Park
- 11:59Speaker 7: for a playoff game on Sunday night. On on paper,
- 12:02Speaker 7: it sounds like a phenomenal idea, but here's me in
- 12:04Speaker 7: about the fourth inning of Sunday Night's game.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Yeah, what I'm talking about? It would take down a
- 12:12Speaker 1: normal man. You are not a normal man, David believable,
- 12:16Speaker 1: I mean amphetamines. No, You're gonna be riding the.
- 12:20Speaker 3: High of a major league playoffs.
- 12:24Speaker 1: What should I be taking with me lucky Sunday night,
- 12:28Speaker 1: they're gonna have to put a Hannibal Lecter mask on you.
- 12:30Speaker 3: You're gonna be so fired up Saturday night sitting there
- 12:33Speaker 3: and you see, God, you don't.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Have to worry about that.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Now you're gonna crash after afterwards. It's gonna be a
- 12:39Speaker 3: great night sleep for you come Sunday night.
- 12:41Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you're not believable. Man, What a day?
- 12:44Speaker 1: What a day Sunday is gonna be? You cannot wait?
- 12:46Speaker 3: Uh, Softie is with us every Thursday we talk Huskies football,
- 12:50Speaker 3: but obviously we got other things on our mind as
- 12:52Speaker 3: well on this Thursday.
- 12:54Speaker 1: But let's do talk a little Huskies of football here, a.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Few days removed from losing by eighteen points to the
- 13:01Speaker 3: number one ranked team in America?
- 13:03Speaker 1: Are you upset about it? Are you accept of it?
- 13:06Speaker 1: Where are you at right now?
- 13:07Speaker 7: With all I don't think any team that's got Denzel Boston,
- 13:10Speaker 7: Jonah Coleman, and Demon Williams should ever be accepting scoring
- 13:13Speaker 7: six points against anybody. I don't care who you're playing, right,
- 13:16Speaker 7: I mean, look, I get it. Ohio State's awesome. You
- 13:18Speaker 7: know they got a couple of defensive linemen that Washington
- 13:21Speaker 7: could just not handle at all. That that linebacker they've got,
- 13:23Speaker 7: what's at number seven, number eight? I forget now the
- 13:26Speaker 7: kid that ran down Demond on that third down play
- 13:29Speaker 7: when he was scrambling out to his left.
- 13:30Speaker 1: That guy is a freak. I mean, they've got players
- 13:33Speaker 1: on that team.
- 13:33Speaker 7: You know, Dick and I were talking, I'm not sure
- 13:35Speaker 7: if there's a husky starter on defense that would start
- 13:37Speaker 7: for Ohio State on their defense, honestly. I mean, we
- 13:40Speaker 7: can talk about Price, Sock and Davis when those guys
- 13:42Speaker 7: are healthy, maybe, but those guys are really freaking good man.
- 13:45Speaker 1: So that's number one.
- 13:46Speaker 7: But again, I mean, you know, we've been touting at
- 13:49Speaker 7: least a lot of us are is maybe the one
- 13:51Speaker 7: of the best, if not the best, trios of skilled players.
- 13:54Speaker 1: In the Big Ten.
- 13:55Speaker 7: So I don't think anybody can be satisfied with scoring
- 13:58Speaker 7: six points. I don't care who you're playing for out loud,
- 14:00Speaker 7: but you know, how do I feel about the Ohio
- 14:02Speaker 7: State game? Asked me in a month, right, ask me
- 14:04Speaker 7: after Maryland, asked me after Rutgers, And if the offense
- 14:08Speaker 7: struggles against those two teams, then obviously you're not You're
- 14:11Speaker 7: not happy at all. But if they just blow it
- 14:13Speaker 7: up and you know, take on Illinois and Michigan and
- 14:15Speaker 7: Wisconsin later on and score a bunch of points, then
- 14:18Speaker 7: maybe in November late October, we can look back at
- 14:20Speaker 7: the Ohio State game and say, Okay, that was an anomaly.
- 14:22Speaker 7: They just played a phenomenal defense that might be the
- 14:25Speaker 7: best defense in the country. They learned from it, and
- 14:27Speaker 7: they moved on. But I do think that there is
- 14:29Speaker 7: reason for Husky fans to wonder how good is this offense.
- 14:33Speaker 7: I mean, they were scoring fifty points a game, but
- 14:35Speaker 7: they're playing nobody in the first three games of the year, right,
- 14:38Speaker 7: I mean, even the biggest Husky Hawks like me, You've
- 14:40Speaker 7: got to admit that the CSU, the Aggies of UC Davis, Wazoo,
- 14:45Speaker 7: I mean, those are those are high school teams in
- 14:47Speaker 7: a lot of ways. You know, no disrespect to Washington State,
- 14:49Speaker 7: they were the best team they played among those three,
- 14:51Speaker 7: But Ohio State, the Big Ted, is a totally different
- 14:54Speaker 7: kind of meats. So I don't know, man, I'm just
- 14:56Speaker 7: I'm just sitting a here going into Week five, just
- 14:58Speaker 7: kind of really curious as to how good this offen
- 15:00Speaker 7: truly is.
- 15:00Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I think that even going into it, considering
- 15:04Speaker 8: who you played in the first three that there had
- 15:06Speaker 8: to be some sort of tempered expectation. That doesn't mean
- 15:08Speaker 8: you would then like, Okay, six points, that's fine because
- 15:11Speaker 8: that's the number one team, And so what what are
- 15:13Speaker 8: you expecting this week?
- 15:15Speaker 1: They got to go on the road. They got a
- 15:17Speaker 1: road win, if you want to call it.
- 15:18Speaker 8: That a going to wazoo. That's the first one in
- 15:21Speaker 8: the jetfish era. But this is one where you're getting
- 15:23Speaker 8: that big ten travel in. So what are you expecting
- 15:25Speaker 8: about them bouncing back?
- 15:27Speaker 1: Can I just admit something to you guys real quick here?
- 15:29Speaker 7: Yeah, please remember the SNL seeing with Chris Farley or
- 15:32Speaker 7: he's dreaming about sausages.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Yeah, just sausage. Sausage.
- 15:37Speaker 7: As Bucky is talking there asking questions about the husky
- 15:40Speaker 7: is I'm just thinking Mariners.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Game one?
- 15:45Speaker 3: How many heart attacks are you going to have watching
- 15:47Speaker 3: the Mariners on Saturday?
- 15:49Speaker 7: Well, you guys know where I've been the last two days,
- 15:51Speaker 7: don't you. No, you guys have any idea what I
- 15:54Speaker 7: did the last time?
- 15:55Speaker 2: Oh?
- 15:55Speaker 7: Yeah, I do now now I feel so the odds
- 15:58Speaker 7: of that hopefully it dropped a little bit. Oh gosh,
- 16:02Speaker 7: mean to bring that into the e commerce.
- 16:04Speaker 1: No, it's all good. It's why I planned it, now,
- 16:06Speaker 1: are you kidding me?
- 16:07Speaker 7: Before first pitch on Saturday, I want to make sure
- 16:10Speaker 7: that the pipes are open and the blood's flowing properly
- 16:13Speaker 7: and all that stuff. So yeah, I mean, hopefully I
- 16:15Speaker 7: got a you know, doctor Mooney or whatever, Doctor Ralston
- 16:19Speaker 7: hopefully did their freaking job, and we're not having a
- 16:21Speaker 7: smoke break when I was getting this thing put in.
- 16:23Speaker 7: But I would I would hope the odds of that
- 16:25Speaker 7: have following for the game on Saturday. But Bucky, back
- 16:28Speaker 7: to your question about the road games. I mean, look,
- 16:30Speaker 7: they haven't won a conference road games since Oregon State
- 16:33Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three in November, so it's been almost
- 16:36Speaker 7: two years since they've won a game against a conference
- 16:38Speaker 7: team on the road. Now, that was a Pac twelve team.
- 16:41Speaker 7: This is a Big ten team, and you know this
- 16:44Speaker 7: is one of five teams. I know there's been some
- 16:46Speaker 7: talk about this. I think it's a little bit unfair
- 16:48Speaker 7: because there was an article that John Wilner wrote about
- 16:51Speaker 7: the Big Ten inequities in the schedule, and Awful Announcing
- 16:54Speaker 7: picked it up and they quoted you know, there was
- 16:56Speaker 7: one line from John's article about Washington, but a lot
- 16:59Speaker 7: of it about USC and UCLA because the bitching and
- 17:02Speaker 7: the moaning about the Big Ten travel is mostly coming
- 17:04Speaker 7: from LA To be totally honest with you, it's mostly
- 17:07Speaker 7: coming from Lincoln Rightley and Mitt Cronin with the UCLA
- 17:10Speaker 7: basketball team.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I haven't heard.
- 17:11Speaker 7: Anybody at you dub, including Jedfish bitch mine, you moan, wine,
- 17:15Speaker 7: you piss and moan about the schedule at all, when
- 17:18Speaker 7: really that they've got maybe the biggest right to and
- 17:20Speaker 7: it's not the travel. This is one of five teams
- 17:23Speaker 7: that we play coming off a by Ohio State, Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois,
- 17:28Speaker 7: and Wisconsin, and you gotta fly out there.
- 17:30Speaker 1: So I don't know what to make of this game.
- 17:31Speaker 7: I mean, I'm a little bit surprised that Washington's as
- 17:34Speaker 7: big a favorite as they are. They're giving almost a
- 17:36Speaker 7: touchdown on the road. This Malik Washington kid, the quarterback,
- 17:40Speaker 7: he's a true freshman, Bucky. He's eighteen years old and
- 17:43Speaker 7: he's six five, two thirty. I mean, he is a
- 17:45Speaker 7: beast for an eighteen year old kid. So I don't
- 17:47Speaker 7: know how good this guy is either, because they haven't
- 17:50Speaker 7: played anybody I mean they've played FIU or excuse me,
- 17:52Speaker 7: FAU NIU and Towson State and Wisconsin who's terrible. So
- 17:57Speaker 7: we're gonna find out a lot about both these teams
- 17:59Speaker 7: on Friday night for sure.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Well you'll find out today when you talk to coach
- 18:02Speaker 3: new Heisl. He put a lot of respect on that
- 18:04Speaker 3: Maryland name. Yes, yes he did.
- 18:06Speaker 7: And we're gonna talk to Rick new Heidel about the
- 18:08Speaker 7: brand new offensive coordinator and play caller at UCLA.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Did you hear about that?
- 18:12Speaker 3: Is that his son, his son Jerry, Oh, look at
- 18:15Speaker 3: that now calling plays? Doesn't he just go back and
- 18:20Speaker 3: be the u c l A head coach?
- 18:21Speaker 1: For goodness? I mean he would do it. I know
- 18:23Speaker 1: you would do it. I mean that thing is a
- 18:24Speaker 1: train wreck down there, man.
- 18:26Speaker 7: I mean, out of all the teams that entered the
- 18:28Speaker 7: Big Ten from the PAC twelve, I think they are
- 18:30Speaker 7: the most hosed, if that makes any sense. I think
- 18:32Speaker 7: they are the most screwed of all the teams that
- 18:36Speaker 7: entered that conference because their fans just do not give
- 18:39Speaker 7: a damn honestly. I mean they're they're fans down there
- 18:42Speaker 7: might be doing the same thing I'm doing right now
- 18:43Speaker 7: and just thinking Mariners news.
- 18:48Speaker 1: I know they do.
- 18:51Speaker 9: The big fluttering.
- 18:55Speaker 7: This is a big one on Friday night or Saturday guys.
- 18:58Speaker 7: Sorry for you, Doug, because I think they got they
- 19:00Speaker 7: got four games left to go that should be automatic wins. Rutgers, Perdue, Ucla,
- 19:04Speaker 7: and Wisconsin are all terrible football teams, and you Dub,
- 19:06Speaker 7: if they're even close to legitimate, should.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Win them all.
- 19:09Speaker 7: That's seven games, right, seven wins right there? And then
- 19:12Speaker 7: the other four Maryland, Michigan, Illinois, Oregon. Do you win
- 19:15Speaker 7: one and you're an eight and four team? Do you
- 19:17Speaker 7: win two and you're a nine win team? I mean
- 19:19Speaker 7: this is those four games should be w's and this
- 19:22Speaker 7: is one of the remaining four that to me are
- 19:24Speaker 7: kind of close to toss ups. All right, plug something
- 19:26Speaker 7: before we let you go five twenty bar and grill today,
- 19:29Speaker 7: Mike Combrin, Rick new heisl before Thursday night football? What
- 19:34Speaker 7: is it?
- 19:34Speaker 1: Rams and Niners without Purdy? Is that right tonight?
- 19:37Speaker 7: At at five point fifteen? So sneaking in as much
- 19:40Speaker 7: Mariner love as we can. We'll be at Jimmy's tomorrow.
- 19:43Speaker 7: I think we're doing a big old round table. I
- 19:45Speaker 7: know you guys are fired up for that. Tomorrow afternoon,
- 19:47Speaker 7: so look forward to that. But I just, I just
- 19:51Speaker 7: I'm literally counting down the minutes until Saturday, man. And
- 19:54Speaker 7: the fact that we have to sit around the night
- 19:56Speaker 7: waiting for this Red Soaki Yankee game to be over,
- 19:59Speaker 7: to wait and see see what time we play on
- 20:00Speaker 7: Saturday pisses me off.
- 20:02Speaker 1: But I guess it's the it's the price you pay
- 20:04Speaker 1: for being the two seasons. All right, man, thank you,
- 20:07Speaker 1: we'll talk to you later. Hi, boys.
- 20:09Speaker 3: All right, there is David Softy mall the joining us

- 21:19Speaker 3: pick from Bucky.
- 21:19Speaker 1: So that's coming up at seven thirty five.
- 21:22Speaker 3: The forty nine Ers and Rams will play tonight Thursday
- 21:25Speaker 3: Night Football, and the Rams have gone to an eight
- 21:28Speaker 3: and a half point favorite in that game, as the
- 21:31Speaker 3: forty nine Ers are going to start Mac Jones over
- 21:34Speaker 3: Brock Purty in the contest this evening. But the big
- 21:37Speaker 3: NFL news in the last twenty four hour news cycle,
- 21:40Speaker 3: and I hate say this because I have a real
- 21:42Speaker 3: problem with this guy being mentioned so frequently in the
- 21:46Speaker 3: sports news. I think it's low hanging fruit. But nonetheless,
- 21:49Speaker 3: Shador Sanders is in the news for the last twenty
- 21:54Speaker 3: four hours for pantomiming.
- 21:56Speaker 1: An interview in the locker room.
- 21:59Speaker 3: He didn't say anything, he just was mouthing words. No
- 22:04Speaker 3: audio was coming out of his mouth when he was
- 22:07Speaker 3: asked about Dylan Gabriel getting the start over him.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Pantomiming has never gone over well in society. No, it's dumb.
- 22:16Speaker 9: Definitely not.
- 22:17Speaker 1: It's really dumb. If you're being asked questions, still pantomime
- 22:21Speaker 1: your factor fiction pick.
- 22:23Speaker 9: I think you should try it. See what happens like that?
- 22:27Speaker 9: What are you saying disagree?
- 22:29Speaker 1: Wait a minute, are you saying the Broncos are trapped
- 22:31Speaker 1: in a glass box of emotions? Yeah?
- 22:36Speaker 3: What are you saying that the Browns are fighting against
- 22:39Speaker 3: the wind? I don't know what you're saying, Bucky, I
- 22:42Speaker 3: do not understand. I mean, if it's if they're bark
- 22:45Speaker 3: twice bark, if you're taking the packers.
- 22:50Speaker 8: I just don't even understand how you can like where
- 22:54Speaker 8: like he just looks like a like a torp, like
- 22:58Speaker 8: just a spoiled little brat that you know, it's like
- 23:00Speaker 8: I when I don't get it my way, or when
- 23:03Speaker 8: I think that it's not that I can do whatever
- 23:06Speaker 8: I want because I know my life is great regardless
- 23:09Speaker 8: of whether because it is his life, he's going to
- 23:12Speaker 8: have a great life, regardless of whether or not he
- 23:14Speaker 8: ever becomes a good NFL quarterback or a starting quarterback. Ever,
- 23:17Speaker 8: he's don't have a great life, and he just kind
- 23:19Speaker 8: of acts like you, I don't really care about I
- 23:21Speaker 8: don't need this, I don't need that.
- 23:23Speaker 1: I'll just pan, I'll just minme, I'll just just mouth words.
- 23:28Speaker 1: So what do you think about Joe Flacco?
- 23:30Speaker 8: You know, is he going to support you and Dylan
- 23:31Speaker 8: Gabriel And you know, now that he's been moved back
- 23:34Speaker 8: in the depth.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Chart, it's like, shut up work. I don't understand how
- 23:43Speaker 1: he thinks that's okay. He made enough gummy noises there
- 23:47Speaker 1: that I thought what you were saying.
- 23:50Speaker 9: I think the annoying thing is too.
- 23:52Speaker 6: You know, to start off the season, we were giving
- 23:54Speaker 6: him credit for how he was behaving and how he
- 23:58Speaker 6: was taking on the fact that, you know, he had
- 24:00Speaker 6: to earn a spot and he didn't want his dad there,
- 24:02Speaker 6: and we were, you know, giving him all his credit.
- 24:04Speaker 9: And now it's like, okay, but now I'm annoyed.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm going to criticize him and I'm gonna
- 24:10Speaker 3: defend him a little bit because the reason behind it
- 24:13Speaker 3: was I don't know what you want me to say
- 24:15Speaker 3: about this, Like that's that's the point of what he
- 24:19Speaker 3: was doing like I might as well just flap my
- 24:21Speaker 3: gums here because I'm gonna get in, I'm gonna get criticized.
- 24:25Speaker 3: I'm going to be a story on you know, Rex
- 24:27Speaker 3: Ryan Show Tomorrow Morning or Steven A. Smith no matter
- 24:31Speaker 3: what I say here. So I'm going to no win situation.
- 24:34Speaker 3: So I'm just not gonna say anything. I'm going to
- 24:36Speaker 3: put a goofy smile on my face, not going to
- 24:38Speaker 3: say anything. And I really think the main criticism goes
- 24:41Speaker 3: to all of those shows that continue to make this
- 24:43Speaker 3: guy a third string quarterback like a big topic because
- 24:46Speaker 3: he's not no and he shouldn't be. And you're grabbing
- 24:49Speaker 3: low hanging fruit, And I feel bad for those people
- 24:52Speaker 3: that like eating low hanging fruit that watch that crap,
- 24:55Speaker 3: because you're as much to blame as the guys that
- 24:57Speaker 3: are drumming up a story that really is an shouldn't
- 25:00Speaker 3: be of.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Interest to you.
- 25:01Speaker 9: You have to get in the ratings because you're watching.
- 25:03Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, you can't get enough of third
- 25:06Speaker 3: string Brown's quarterback talk. Right now, on the flip side,
- 25:10Speaker 3: don't ever channel a mime. Okay, literally, you're coming off
- 25:18Speaker 3: like a clown. They are French clowns.
- 25:21Speaker 1: That's what they are.
- 25:23Speaker 3: And nobody, no quarterback that wants to be a future
- 25:26Speaker 3: face of a franchise, wants to be a leader of men,
- 25:29Speaker 3: can ever, under any circumstance, come off as a French clown.
- 25:35Speaker 6: Okay, so it's a sentence I never thought we hear
- 25:37Speaker 6: on this show, not in sports radio.
- 25:40Speaker 1: So that would be my advice to you. Don't ever
- 25:42Speaker 1: again come across as a French clown. Let's play factor fiction.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Where's that to go? Glad you're with us?
- 25:49Speaker 4: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
- 25:53Speaker 4: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's factor fiction, probably presented
- 25:58Speaker 4: by Lucky Eagle, because you know in hotel where every
- 26:01Speaker 4: day feels lucky. Factor fiction is on Sports Radio ninety
- 26:06Speaker 4: three point three kJ R f M.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Now I'm wondering if Bucket is gonna min us pick.
- 26:12Speaker 9: We'll try to interpret it for him. Sounds like you gotta.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Get that, get it right, and you're your food.
- 26:24Speaker 9: You wouldn't be still forty nine ers are gonna left.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Okay, weird.
- 26:28Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't agree with it, but sure I'll type
- 26:30Speaker 9: it for you.
- 26:31Speaker 1: The smart miming isn't coming in on that, all right,
- 26:35Speaker 1: where are you gonna go.
- 26:36Speaker 8: I'm gonna go with two teams. I don't believe in
- 26:39Speaker 8: I'm gonna pick one of them. I I just don't.
- 26:43Speaker 8: I just don't think the Carolina Panthers are legit, and
- 26:45Speaker 8: I don't think Miami is legit. But I think it's
- 26:48Speaker 8: a tiny little spread. Miami's favored by one and a
- 26:50Speaker 8: half going on the road, but I'll go ahead and
- 26:52Speaker 8: lay one and a half points.
- 26:53Speaker 1: I think the Carolina Panthers are still a work in progress.
- 26:56Speaker 8: They look good a couple of last two weeks ago
- 26:59Speaker 8: against the Falcon somehow, and yet that to me seems
- 27:02Speaker 8: like the outlier of the whole thing.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I think the Miami Dolphins win by more than two,
- 27:05Speaker 1: all right, two or more? Yeah?
- 27:08Speaker 3: I think they should start Andy Dalton and then start
- 27:11Speaker 3: Bryce Young again because it.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Worked last year.
- 27:14Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 27:14Speaker 2: True.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Yeah, Andy Dalton's a better quarterback than Bryce Young right now.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But but.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Bryce Young got a chance after Andy Dalton played and
- 27:21Speaker 3: then was actually pretty good. So maybe you got to
- 27:24Speaker 3: do that every year. Every year we got a bench
- 27:26Speaker 3: Bryce for Andy. All right, So you are taking the
- 27:29Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins on the road, and they are giving a
- 27:33Speaker 3: point and a half. Yes, all right, So that means
- 27:35Speaker 3: that the Carolina Panthers just lose by one point. Bucky loses, yes,
- 27:42Speaker 3: so the buck so BUCkies is bat only comes through
- 27:45Speaker 3: if the Dolphins win by two points or more. If
- 27:48Speaker 3: you agree with that selection, you're gonna go ahead and
- 27:50Speaker 3: text fact to four nine four five to one. If
- 27:52Speaker 3: you disagree with it, text fiction to four nine four
- 27:55Speaker 3: five one. If you're right, we enter your name into
- 27:58Speaker 3: a drawing for one thousand dollars cash prize at the
- 28:01Speaker 3: end of the week.
- 28:02Speaker 1: And we're getting toward the end of the week.
- 28:04Speaker 3: And if you're wrong, just try again, because you can
- 28:07Speaker 3: play every single week time we play here at KJAR,
- 28:10Speaker 3: and every time you're right, we enter your name into
- 28:12Speaker 3: that drawing.
- 28:13Speaker 1: And if you're playing for the very first time, don't
- 28:15Speaker 1: worry about it.
- 28:15Speaker 3: We've had plenty of winners who only played once and
- 28:18Speaker 3: won once throughout our years of doing Factor fiction. But
- 28:21Speaker 3: then we hope you get the bug and then you
- 28:24Speaker 3: play all the time, like right, well, the rest of
- 28:26Speaker 3: these Sikos out there, So fact.
- 28:29Speaker 1: To four nine four five one. If you agree with
- 28:32Speaker 1: Bucky's pick fiction.
- 28:33Speaker 3: If you disagree, again, he's taking the Miami Dolphins giving
- 28:37Speaker 3: a point and a half to the Carolina Panthers on
- 28:40Speaker 3: the road ten thousand dollars. Jackpot awaits this year's Factor
- 28:45Speaker 3: Fiction Champion. That Too, presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
- 28:49Speaker 3: Hotel where every Day Feels Lucky.

- 28:55Speaker 6: the way to Brenda from Eatonville.
- 28:57Speaker 9: She was the winner last week on Your Pick kind
- 29:00Speaker 9: Away Jackson plus two and a half at San Francisco.
- 29:04Speaker 9: Good job Brenda.
- 29:05Speaker 1: And I don't think I got the majority of the
- 29:08Speaker 1: vote on I doubt you did. Yeah, I doubt you did.
- 29:10Speaker 9: But she was smart, she picked backed and she won
- 29:12Speaker 9: a thousand bucks.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Would make a good team, right Brenda and Eatonville. Brenda
- 29:18Speaker 1: and I we go. We have a We've got a
- 29:20Speaker 1: great rapport the two of us.
- 29:21Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I always known that about you guys.
- 29:24Speaker 8: Yeah, you and Brenda. You guys, two peas in a pod.
- 29:27Speaker 8: Really simpatico, you will undred percent.
- 29:31Speaker 1: It looks like the window thing's not working again.
- 29:34Speaker 8: We're getting a bunch. We're getting a bunch of them.
- 29:36Speaker 8: So for those of you that are still listening after
- 29:38Speaker 8: you typed in fact, because you know that I'm right,
- 29:41Speaker 8: We did get your text. Yeah, they are mad about it.
- 29:44Speaker 1: It's not our fault.
- 29:45Speaker 6: And there's apparently some new bug that sometimes it doesn't
- 29:48Speaker 6: work till seven forty. So maybe all the ones after
- 29:50Speaker 6: seven forty will get a bounce back and all the
- 29:52Speaker 6: ones before that aren't getting to bounce back.
- 29:53Speaker 1: But both of them count. All right, we've got them.
- 29:56Speaker 3: Don't worry got you keep your picks coming in and
- 29:58Speaker 3: then don't worry your little heads. We do have them registered.

- 30:30Speaker 3: host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. They're not moving
- 30:34Speaker 3: the game time turns out, it worked out. Major League
- 30:36Speaker 3: Baseball NFL got together and said, hey, this makes sense.
- 30:39Speaker 3: You're right, you're right, Rob. Thanks Roger, would you like
- 30:43Speaker 3: to go out and have some soft serve? So anyway,
- 30:47Speaker 3: it's gonna work out one five Star time for the
- 30:50Speaker 3: Seahawks on Sunday, and then the Mariners are playing the
- 30:52Speaker 3: five o'clock game on Sunday night, no matter what.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Happens today in the Major League Baseball playoff.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Speaking of the Major League Baseball Playoffs, there's a lot
- 31:02Speaker 3: of concern going on about rest versus rust, and understandably so,
- 31:06Speaker 3: it's a topic that comes up in every single sport all.
- 31:09Speaker 1: The time this time of the year.
- 31:11Speaker 3: And we haven't had the Mariners sitting around for a
- 31:13Speaker 3: week in the playoffs waiting for their opponent. This is
- 31:17Speaker 3: just foreign territory for us up here in Seattle. I
- 31:21Speaker 3: know one person on this show that isn't worried about it,
- 31:24Speaker 3: and his name is Bucky Jacobson.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Why aren't you worried about this?
- 31:28Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I just don't think that it's I
- 31:32Speaker 8: don't think it's a thing unless you think it's a
- 31:34Speaker 8: thing as an individual player. And if you do, then
- 31:38Speaker 8: there's a weakness between the years that you were probably
- 31:42Speaker 8: not going You were going to be one that would
- 31:43Speaker 8: wither and will under the brightest lights anyways, because harybut Garbner,
- 31:48Speaker 8: well he better not even see the field, but yes
- 31:50Speaker 8: he would.
- 31:51Speaker 1: He actually won the World Series. I feel bad, but
- 31:54Speaker 1: then again, you've you've brought this up on yourself.
- 31:56Speaker 3: I've watched win a World Series. He was the best
- 31:58Speaker 3: player in that World Series named Corey s exact.
- 32:01Speaker 8: Yeah, where is that he stayed in Texas apparently. I
- 32:05Speaker 8: just there's there's a lot that goes into I mean,
- 32:08Speaker 8: I'll say when you go back your first couple of
- 32:11Speaker 8: days at spring training after an off season, there's little
- 32:15Speaker 8: things that like, because you haven't been playing every day
- 32:18Speaker 8: that are it's harder. Like I'll just say, we're playing
- 32:21Speaker 8: catch and you were you know, we get back to
- 32:23Speaker 8: one hundred feet or whatever, and you're winging it in here.
- 32:26Speaker 8: When you throw it down at my shins, it's like,
- 32:29Speaker 8: I go down there and catch it, and it's kind
- 32:30Speaker 8: of like, oh, because you don't. You just haven't been
- 32:34Speaker 8: catching as much as you're used to when you play
- 32:37Speaker 8: every single day during the middle of the season, and
- 32:39Speaker 8: so it's kind of like and yet it just takes you.
- 32:41Speaker 8: It takes you a week or so, and all of
- 32:43Speaker 8: a sudden, that same throw you just bend down and
- 32:45Speaker 8: you just know for sure you're going to catch it.
- 32:47Speaker 8: So there's things like that that a long amount of
- 32:51Speaker 8: time off can affect you to where it takes a
- 32:53Speaker 8: second to get back into it. But I mean, it's
- 32:56Speaker 8: I was saying earlier today, how this team's gonna be
- 32:59Speaker 8: chomping at the and you want to kind of get
- 33:01Speaker 8: off the schneid quick and early, right, you just break
- 33:03Speaker 8: up a little hitter in the first inning, hopefully score
- 33:06Speaker 8: in the first inning, and then you're off and running right,
- 33:09Speaker 8: and then you get out to that lead, and you
- 33:10Speaker 8: all of a sudden, you get to play free. If
- 33:12Speaker 8: you end up going, let's say through this first game,
- 33:14Speaker 8: and you get shut out in the first game, well, now,
- 33:16Speaker 8: all of a sudden, the pressure of the playoffs, and
- 33:19Speaker 8: you couple that with the fact that you got shut out,
- 33:22Speaker 8: then it starts to be something. And yet is that
- 33:23Speaker 8: rust or is that you just didn't get going you
- 33:26Speaker 8: didn't get going again. I mean, you can look at
- 33:28Speaker 8: it a whole bunch of different ways. I mean, I
- 33:31Speaker 8: can remember I was telling you a story about when
- 33:33Speaker 8: I went to Venezuela's two thousand. I think I was
- 33:36Speaker 8: in double A broke my wrist and basically missed the
- 33:39Speaker 8: rest of season.
- 33:40Speaker 1: I went home.
- 33:40Speaker 8: It worked out fine because there was a thing that
- 33:44Speaker 8: happened at home with a brother in line mind got
- 33:46Speaker 8: in an accident, and so I had to end up
- 33:48Speaker 8: working for my dad. So I'm I'm working with a
- 33:50Speaker 8: cast on, I'm not doing anything. When I get the
- 33:52Speaker 8: cast off, I get an opportunity to go play in Venezuela. Now,
- 33:54Speaker 8: Venezuela's Winter League is like it's considered like four A.
- 33:58Speaker 8: It's better than Triple A, but it's not as good
- 34:00Speaker 8: as the big leagues. And yet I hadn't taken a
- 34:02Speaker 8: live pitch. I hadn't seen a live pitch. I hadn't
- 34:06Speaker 8: taken any swings off of even like velocity machines, anything
- 34:10Speaker 8: that throws decent in three and a half months. And
- 34:14Speaker 8: so there's part of me in my head like, well,
- 34:15Speaker 8: this is just jumping right back into the fire, right,
- 34:19Speaker 8: this is going to be the best competition I've ever played.
- 34:22Speaker 8: And yet I haven't had any ramp up. There was
- 34:24Speaker 8: no rehab assignment. I didn't do anything. And yet I
- 34:28Speaker 8: just kind of on the flight down there kind of
- 34:30Speaker 8: had to wrap my mind around well, still baseball, see
- 34:33Speaker 8: it and hit it, and I ended.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Up going off.
- 34:35Speaker 8: I ended up hitting seven bombs in the first seven
- 34:37Speaker 8: games I was down there. And so to me, it's
- 34:40Speaker 8: that was when E was born. Yes, And yet so
- 34:44Speaker 8: I'm not going to say that that's the way that
- 34:46Speaker 8: it would happen very easily. If I went down there
- 34:48Speaker 8: and I went oh for for the first game and
- 34:50Speaker 8: oh for for the second game, there's a real good
- 34:52Speaker 8: chance that I don't hit very well at all for
- 34:55Speaker 8: the first one.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Diner's your mind that I'm not ready for.
- 34:58Speaker 8: This, Yes, And so to me, it's how you start
- 35:01Speaker 8: this postseason journey is kind of how it's going to go.
- 35:05Speaker 8: So to me, it's just a matter of going out there,
- 35:07Speaker 8: grinding out AB's do it, simplifying the thing that then
- 35:10Speaker 8: you kind of get zoned up. That's the beauty of
- 35:12Speaker 8: playoff baseball to me is you can watch every single bat.
- 35:15Speaker 8: There's nobody that's taking pitches off. There's nobody that's just
- 35:19Speaker 8: cashing in like like you'll tend to do at times
- 35:21Speaker 8: in August when you're you've had five hundred abs and
- 35:24Speaker 8: you still have one hundred and fifty more to get
- 35:26Speaker 8: and you're you know you're you're losing by seven runs
- 35:29Speaker 8: and the sixth inning. It's hard to be tip top
- 35:32Speaker 8: shape between the ears every single time. But that's not
- 35:35Speaker 8: going to be the case here. And I think that
- 35:37Speaker 8: this roster, this lineup in particular, which is what I'm
- 35:40Speaker 8: concerned more, what I would have more concerned about when
- 35:43Speaker 8: it comes to rust. I think that this roster now
- 35:46Speaker 8: believes I don't have to put all that pressure on myself.
- 35:50Speaker 8: I just need to go out there and have a
- 35:51Speaker 8: kick ass ab go out there and grind this thing
- 35:53Speaker 8: out and see where the chips fall, and if you
- 35:55Speaker 8: don't get it done, the next guy does the same thing.
- 35:57Speaker 8: There's not a lot of breathing room in this lineup,
- 35:59Speaker 8: and so I think first time to lineup, you're going
- 36:02Speaker 8: to break through that initial barrier and then let the
- 36:04Speaker 8: floods roll.
- 36:05Speaker 3: I admittedly don't know how they're going to start this
- 36:08Speaker 3: thing off on Saturday, but I think I would have
- 36:10Speaker 3: been in that.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Position no matter what.
- 36:13Speaker 3: So I'll take the rest, and I will take the
- 36:16Speaker 3: rest at the risk of being rusty. I think that
- 36:19Speaker 3: that's going to benefit this team more than what rust
- 36:22Speaker 3: will hurt them. That said, there's got to be something
- 36:26Speaker 3: to it. And I wish, like a Seth Wickersham would
- 36:29Speaker 3: do an article on this, really do. I want you
- 36:31Speaker 3: to research it so that every time that I get
- 36:33Speaker 3: to a postseason, regardless of the sports, I know the answer,
- 36:37Speaker 3: I know the quotient, the percentage of rust versus rest.
- 36:41Speaker 3: I want it broken down into individual sports. I want
- 36:44Speaker 3: to broken down into individual teams. Wickersham, go do the
- 36:47Speaker 3: research for us so that we have something to work
- 36:49Speaker 3: off of every time we get to a postseason, whether
- 36:52Speaker 3: or not rust versus rest, what really does went out
- 36:56Speaker 3: in the end? Yeah, because I want to do it
- 36:57Speaker 3: because that's a lot of work, and it sounds like
- 36:59Speaker 3: a Wickersh project. All right, coming up next, twelve man roundtable.
- 37:02Speaker 3: That sounds like a Millon Bell project. Sports Radio ninety
