- 0:59Speaker 10: Get well, looky, lookie, who's got a two oz lead
- 1:21Speaker 10: in the American League Championship Series.
- 1:24Speaker 4: Your Seattle Mariners winning yesterday ten to three in Toronto
- 1:29Speaker 4: against the Blue Jays.
- 1:30Speaker 5: As if they've got a chance last night, and we
- 1:34Speaker 5: are here to embrace it. We're here to spoon with it.
- 1:38Speaker 4: We're here to whisper things in its ear, maybe kiss
- 1:40Speaker 4: it a little bit right around the air.
- 1:42Speaker 5: They like it. It likes that.
- 1:44Speaker 4: It really is always liked that. It's always responded well
- 1:46Speaker 4: to that.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Good morning. Welcome into the radio show.
- 1:49Speaker 4: It is Chuck and Buck in the Morning's here on
- 1:51Speaker 4: a Tuesday Chuck Powell, former Mariner, Bucky Jacobson, and Ashley
- 1:55Speaker 4: Ryan with you for the next four hours.
- 1:57Speaker 5: We do have a really thorough show today.
- 2:01Speaker 4: But certainly what's on the tops of everybody's minds, I
- 2:05Speaker 4: would think here in Seattle is that our baseball team
- 2:09Speaker 4: is two wins away from its first ever World Series appearance.
- 2:13Speaker 5: How does that feel? How does that hit you? At
- 2:14Speaker 5: six oh one, six two on a Tuesday morning. Hits
- 2:18Speaker 5: me right in the sweet spot.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I could notice that you kind of flinched in
- 2:25Speaker 4: your sweet spot, right, Yeah, Well I'm feeling it.
- 2:28Speaker 5: It felt good.
- 2:29Speaker 7: Well, it was close to hit it in somewhere that
- 2:31Speaker 7: wouldn't have felt good, right, I Mean, that's kind of
- 2:33Speaker 7: what the in between the sweet spot and the sweet spot,
- 2:38Speaker 7: the exact opposite of a sweet spot. Yeah, I mean
- 2:42Speaker 7: I think right now, I would imagine this is as
- 2:45Speaker 7: close we are tied now with as close to the
- 2:48Speaker 7: World Series as we've ever been, right, I mean, so
- 2:51Speaker 7: one more win We've we've had two wins at this
- 2:53Speaker 7: level before, never more than that. And sitting here at
- 2:57Speaker 7: two and zero is feeling really really good.
- 3:00Speaker 11: Yesterday you were talking about those Loonies and tunis so
- 3:02Speaker 11: is a two nothing lead. That's the Tunyo And now
- 3:07Speaker 11: it makes sense to me.
- 3:09Speaker 8: Yeah, now I get it.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Okay, that's a story about it. If you want to
- 3:14Speaker 5: hear it, Yeah, he does. I heard it last right,
- 3:16Speaker 5: I don't want to I can't share. It's a wonderful story.
- 3:19Speaker 5: It is a wonderful story.
- 3:20Speaker 8: I think we should keep that in your sweet spot.
- 3:22Speaker 5: Maybe make children do have something to do with sweet spot.
- 3:25Speaker 5: I figured a little pop up look.
- 3:27Speaker 7: Maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be a good one.
- 3:30Speaker 7: Scratching sniff has to do with uh, polaroids and whatnot.
- 3:33Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, we'll keep that there.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Uh so the Mariners do get it done. Yesterday, ten
- 3:38Speaker 4: to three was the final score. I'd like to say
- 3:42Speaker 4: a lot of it had to do with Logan Gilbert
- 3:44Speaker 4: kind of stepping up, but he did look tired. It
- 3:47Speaker 4: did look like it was a little bit too much
- 3:49Speaker 4: for him what was asked of him. And of course
- 3:51Speaker 4: Logan's going to take the ball, but he wasn't sharp.
- 3:54Speaker 4: He only went three innings. Fortunately for him. The offense
- 3:58Speaker 4: did such arrific job. I mean, it certainly showed up
- 4:02Speaker 4: to its largest degree so far in these playoffs and
- 4:06Speaker 4: kind of allowed for a bit of a coasting to
- 4:08Speaker 4: take place later on in the contest, even using a
- 4:11Speaker 4: few guys here that haven't been used a lot in
- 4:15Speaker 4: the postseason for four innings of work last night. We'll
- 4:19Speaker 4: get to the bullpen in a moment, but I think
- 4:20Speaker 4: the highlight is the offense, and the highlight of the
- 4:24Speaker 4: highlight is Jorge Polonko. There is a statistic called game
- 4:29Speaker 4: winning RBI, and it used to be calculated.
- 4:32Speaker 5: It used to be a thing that they would put
- 4:34Speaker 5: up like you would get.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Your box score in your newspaper, and it would be
- 4:37Speaker 4: in the agat section. It would show how many game
- 4:41Speaker 4: winning RBIs a guy has had during the course of
- 4:43Speaker 4: a season. They don't do that anymore. They stopped doing that. Gosh,
- 4:47Speaker 4: I don't know, like twenty five years ago. It doesn't mean.
- 4:50Speaker 5: That it's still not tracked to some degree.
- 4:52Speaker 4: You'll still see some stat nerds like Sarah Langs and
- 4:55Speaker 4: others pointed out during the course of a game.
- 4:57Speaker 5: But it used to be charted as like a thing.
- 5:00Speaker 5: They don't really do it anymore.
- 5:03Speaker 4: And yet I mean it seems like a pretty functional
- 5:07Speaker 4: quality thing to have on your side. And we have
- 5:10Speaker 4: a guy in or a Polonco. I mean it used
- 5:13Speaker 4: to be like, I gotta do this for memory, but
- 5:15Speaker 4: like game winning RBI in a year would be like
- 5:18Speaker 4: the leader in the.
- 5:19Speaker 5: League would be like thirteen fourteen.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Plonko's had three games in a row where he's provided
- 5:26Speaker 4: the game winning RBI, not just your regular old run
- 5:30Speaker 4: of the mill, back of the country store game winning
- 5:34Speaker 4: RBI postseason baseball, or a Polonco has knocked in the
- 5:39Speaker 4: game winning run in three consecutive games.
- 5:44Speaker 5: You want to talk about clutch, this guy's the clutch oven.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Clutch oven. He will pull. He could pull the covers
- 5:50Speaker 5: over your head. Well, you're talking about the ones for cooking.
- 5:53Speaker 5: He's talking about the covers.
- 5:54Speaker 11: I'm talking about either one, if that's what you want
- 5:56Speaker 11: to take it.
- 5:56Speaker 4: He's cooking or he's pulling the covers over your head
- 5:59Speaker 4: and he is fumigating you with some army.
- 6:02Speaker 5: That's what he's doing.
- 6:03Speaker 2: He did that.
- 6:05Speaker 7: Entire country of Canada, and that's after he did it
- 6:08Speaker 7: to Detroit.
- 6:09Speaker 5: Apparently he doesn't like things that are way up north.
- 6:12Speaker 8: Which is weird because we're pretty far up north.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Yeah, up on your air, Canada.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 7: They do not like him right now, understandably. So I,
- 6:21Speaker 7: on the other hand, love him.
- 6:24Speaker 5: Like kind of really, but I I love him.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I love his.
- 6:28Speaker 7: Bug eyes and you know, his even though he went
- 6:30Speaker 7: back to the traditional EyeBlack versus the two tone digue.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Yeah, is that what.
- 6:36Speaker 2: That was going?
- 6:37Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 6:37Speaker 8: It was like lighter at the bottom and when yeah,
- 6:39Speaker 8: dark at the top.
- 6:40Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the thing. I didn't know what that means.
- 6:42Speaker 7: But I liked all of his EyeBlack. But whatever he
- 6:46Speaker 7: decides to do, it's beautiful on you. You look great
- 6:48Speaker 7: in that eye. Black Blanco, keep it up, because yeah,
- 6:51Speaker 7: I mean it's I don't know why they.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Would stop keeping a stat like that.
- 6:54Speaker 7: That doesn't make a whole lot of sense other than
- 6:57Speaker 7: well it's it doesn't really matter because not everybody it's
- 7:00Speaker 7: the same opportunities. Okay, I guess, but that's why you
- 7:04Speaker 7: put him in the fourth spot in the order, right,
- 7:06Speaker 7: He's a that four five six, three, four five, six
- 7:10Speaker 7: are kind of typically your RBI guys because you typically
- 7:12Speaker 7: have good one two three, and you're figuring these are
- 7:16Speaker 7: guys that I need.
- 7:17Speaker 5: To help produce runs.
- 7:18Speaker 7: And Jorge Polanco's had, like you said, three games in
- 7:21Speaker 7: a row now where it's like, hey, we could really
- 7:22Speaker 7: use this. Yeah, yeah, you know, we could really use
- 7:25Speaker 7: an RBI right now. And he's like, Okay, I got you.
- 7:29Speaker 7: Uh and so yeah, I mean it's excuse me, he's
- 7:33Speaker 7: kind of a godsend. I mean, I said it to
- 7:35Speaker 7: you yesterday when we were watching the game together. Imagine
- 7:39Speaker 7: if they hadn't signed him and he had went to
- 7:41Speaker 7: the Astros. Yeah, I mean, if he had had the
- 7:43Speaker 7: season that he and the rebound season that he had
- 7:45Speaker 7: for us this year, if he had had that for
- 7:47Speaker 7: the Astros, I don't know if we win the division,
- 7:50Speaker 7: just that one sliding door, take him off of our team,
- 7:53Speaker 7: put him on their team. He goes and they probably
- 7:56Speaker 7: win the division. That there's really a chance they're the
- 7:58Speaker 7: ones sitting here up to zero in the Yeah.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean he's made a remarkable difference and
- 8:03Speaker 4: when they signed him, I mean before they signed him.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I mean, you can ask anders Hurst on our stove
- 8:08Speaker 4: and I think you two recollect. I mean, I was
- 8:10Speaker 4: really after Jorgete Polonko for years before we got him.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Justin Hollander apparently felt the exact same way. He had
- 8:17Speaker 4: been after him for a couple of years. It was
- 8:19Speaker 4: Justin Hollander that pulled off the trade for Jorgete Polonko.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Sometimes it's Jerry, sometimes it's Justin. Sometimes it's a collaborative effort.
- 8:26Speaker 4: Jerry always has to give the rubbers stamp, But Justin's
- 8:29Speaker 4: the one that worked on this deal and pulled it off.
- 8:33Speaker 4: And Hollander said, not long ago, man, I can't even
- 8:35Speaker 4: imagine a world where we didn't get this done in
- 8:38Speaker 4: the offseason. It was very close to not getting done.
- 8:40Speaker 4: I mean, he had a bad year his first year
- 8:42Speaker 4: with the Mariners. He had a bad year, and it
- 8:44Speaker 4: mystified me and certainly mystified Hollander and the Mariners because
- 8:48Speaker 4: they thought he was going to be a real difference
- 8:50Speaker 4: maker for them a year ago, in a year that
- 8:52Speaker 4: they missed the playoffs by one single stinking game. Imagine
- 8:56Speaker 4: if Jorgete Polonko was this year's version. If we had
- 9:00Speaker 4: had him a year ago, we'd be talking about back
- 9:02Speaker 4: to back playoff appearances. But he just didn't play well
- 9:05Speaker 4: last year. And whether that was coming off of an
- 9:07Speaker 4: injury or still suffering through an injury, I don't know
- 9:10Speaker 4: what kept him from being a productive player a year ago.
- 9:13Speaker 4: But obviously you weren't going to bring him back on
- 9:18Speaker 4: the deal that you had considering how poorly he had played,
- 9:22Speaker 4: and so they let him walk. I mean, he was
- 9:25Speaker 4: out in free agent. He could have gone anywhere, and
- 9:27Speaker 4: he was out there for a long long time, and
- 9:30Speaker 4: then came close to Bucky's point of signing with Houston
- 9:34Speaker 4: it sounded like anyway, and then the Mariners got back
- 9:37Speaker 4: in on it, and he started the season as a
- 9:39Speaker 4: third baseman, and then he was a third baseman who
- 9:43Speaker 4: couldn't field and wasn't allowed to hit from the right
- 9:47Speaker 4: side of the plate because of an injury, and now
- 9:50Speaker 4: he is just a monster. Here we are in the
- 9:53Speaker 4: middle of October, three straight game winning RBI for a
- 9:58Speaker 4: guy that's settled back in and base can hit from
- 10:01Speaker 4: either the left side or the right side of the plate.
- 10:03Speaker 5: And of all the.
- 10:04Speaker 4: People, including maybe dumber himself that you wanted the plate
- 10:08Speaker 4: with the game on the line. Man, Jorge Polonko's gotta
- 10:11Speaker 4: be the first or second guy that comes to mind.
- 10:13Speaker 11: Oh, absolutely, I picture like, especially after these last three games,
- 10:17Speaker 11: Jerry up in his office, like in Billy Madison, man,
- 10:19Speaker 11: am I glad?
- 10:20Speaker 8: I called that guy, like, that's.
- 10:22Speaker 11: What my picture, And I just like, boy, did we
- 10:25Speaker 11: make the right decision to bring him back?
- 10:27Speaker 8: Not just Jerry obviously, justin too.
- 10:29Speaker 11: But it's it's pretty incredible that, especially with this team,
- 10:33Speaker 11: because I do feel like we've had so many of
- 10:35Speaker 11: our stars We've talked about like when Julio used to
- 10:38Speaker 11: come to the plate, it was like, oh, I wish
- 10:41Speaker 11: you weren't in this clutch position, right and right now
- 10:44Speaker 11: there's a good chunk of guys that I'm like, yeah,
- 10:47Speaker 11: I'm good, I have utter confidence.
- 10:49Speaker 8: But when he steps to the plate, it's it's a
- 10:51Speaker 8: different story.
- 10:52Speaker 4: Well, a lot of that has to do Bucky's brought
- 10:54Speaker 4: this point up a lot.
- 10:55Speaker 5: I mean, you do borrow off.
- 10:58Speaker 4: The confidence they say hitting as cans, but it's also
- 11:01Speaker 4: you borrow off of the confidence of having a lineup
- 11:06Speaker 4: that you know. It's just we talk about this word deep.
- 11:09Speaker 4: You have a deep lineup, and if people have heard
- 11:12Speaker 4: that don't really know what that means. That just means
- 11:14Speaker 4: that you don't run out of hitters that you trust
- 11:18Speaker 4: after your cleanup guy.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Yep, you know, and.
- 11:20Speaker 4: We've got I don't know if I'm I'm right now,
- 11:24Speaker 4: like Roeblaze comes up or even JP comes up, I
- 11:27Speaker 4: don't know if I'm brimming with confidence. But even with them,
- 11:31Speaker 4: that's not a bad eight nine hit to have. And
- 11:34Speaker 4: so this deep lineup, it just kind of relaxes everybody
- 11:37Speaker 4: a little bit, even to the point where, yeah, we
- 11:39Speaker 4: had some trepidation when Julio came to the plate there
- 11:42Speaker 4: for a while. I don't feel that way anymore. He
- 11:44Speaker 4: had just as big a hit as Orne had yesterday.
- 11:48Speaker 4: And so that's the deep lineup, borrowing off of each other.
- 11:52Speaker 4: Bucky said it a thousand times, knowing that, Hey, if
- 11:55Speaker 4: I don't get it done, I trust the guy that
- 11:57Speaker 4: comes up next to get it done. And do you
- 11:59Speaker 4: know how much that relaxes me to get it done.
- 12:02Speaker 4: And that's the way that this team can operate now,
- 12:05Speaker 4: which has not been the case the last few years.
- 12:07Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:08Speaker 7: Well, I mean it's like, you know, there's a million
- 12:10Speaker 7: analogies you could use.
- 12:11Speaker 2: To me, it.
- 12:12Speaker 7: Honestly felt like like running water, right, whether it's just
- 12:16Speaker 7: the dripping or you got the sync turned on full
- 12:18Speaker 7: blast when you're hitting. And I mean really, it can start,
- 12:21Speaker 7: It can start on any given moment, and it can
- 12:23Speaker 7: shut off at any given moment, just as far as
- 12:26Speaker 7: how you're feeling as an individual and how you're feeling
- 12:29Speaker 7: as a team. First guy goes up there, battles, has
- 12:31Speaker 7: a good ab Whether it turns out great or not,
- 12:35Speaker 7: it gives confidence to the next guy versus your leadoff
- 12:39Speaker 7: batter of a game goes up there and just takes
- 12:41Speaker 7: one down the middle, swings at one in the dirt,
- 12:44Speaker 7: gets a fastball blown by him. You're walking up there, going, well, okay,
- 12:47Speaker 7: that's right now. It's a slight advantage. There's still twenty,
- 12:51Speaker 7: you know, six outs to go for our team, and
- 12:54Speaker 7: yet that picture's feeling really good about himself and my
- 12:57Speaker 7: buddy's walking past me on his way back to the
- 12:59Speaker 7: dugout zero for one. Whereas you know, everything goes the
- 13:02Speaker 7: other direction and you have a really good at bat.
- 13:04Speaker 7: You're walking up there, and so to me, I think
- 13:07Speaker 7: this team has more of a chance of that water
- 13:10Speaker 7: faucet being turned on, you know, to some significant level.
- 13:13Speaker 5: And I think that they feel it.
- 13:15Speaker 7: So you have the combination of, you know, a rose
- 13:18Speaker 7: Arena is not a rookie obviously, cal Rawley's no longer
- 13:21Speaker 7: a rookie. Julio is no longer a rookie, So they
- 13:23Speaker 7: understand that it can turn on a dime it really quickly.
- 13:27Speaker 7: You can turn your offense into you know, a team
- 13:30Speaker 7: that they've been scuffling to score a bunch of runs
- 13:33Speaker 7: as of late. Now, if that's good pitching, fine, If
- 13:36Speaker 7: it's poor execution and situation of baseball, that's certainly part
- 13:40Speaker 7: of it too. But I think this squad gets we
- 13:43Speaker 7: are deep enough now that it doesn't matter what inning
- 13:45Speaker 7: where we're at to start an inning, we can put
- 13:48Speaker 7: up a crooked number here, we can at least scrape
- 13:50Speaker 7: together a run, and we might do that multiple innings
- 13:53Speaker 7: in a row. So, I mean, I just feel like
- 13:55Speaker 7: there's a good combination of you got a bunch of
- 13:58Speaker 7: dudes that are kind of right in their prime, and
- 14:00Speaker 7: then you got guys like Polonko and Naylor that are
- 14:03Speaker 7: right there like, hey, just keep playing hard, right, I
- 14:06Speaker 7: think Naylor said yesterday, you play hard and good things happen.
- 14:09Speaker 7: If you approach your AB's the right way, good things
- 14:11Speaker 7: will happen. And I think right now you just have
- 14:13Speaker 7: a deep lineup where it doesn't really matter who's up there.
- 14:16Speaker 5: They have a chance.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:17Speaker 7: Obviously a guy like Polonko right now you're feeling a
- 14:19Speaker 7: little bit more so, but I mean I still feel
- 14:21Speaker 7: that way. I feel that way. I don't feel that
- 14:23Speaker 7: way when a Rosarine is at the dish right now,
- 14:25Speaker 7: but I feel that way with cal and Julio and
- 14:27Speaker 7: Polonko and Naylor, and don't really feel that way about Suarez.
- 14:31Speaker 7: I mean, JP from time to time comes through, but
- 14:34Speaker 7: he also has some some other times. It's I just
- 14:37Speaker 7: feel good about the entire lineup, and I think they
- 14:39Speaker 7: feel that right You can you can feel it when
- 14:41Speaker 7: you're up to bat. You can feel if your team
- 14:43Speaker 7: is over there like, oh he's got this, that's the
- 14:46Speaker 7: dude we want up right now, or if they're over
- 14:48Speaker 7: there like come on, man, one time, come through, and
- 14:50Speaker 7: that's not a good feeling when they're thinking the ladder.
- 14:53Speaker 4: Well, we said yesterday on the show Hora Polonka, you
- 14:56Speaker 4: just have to get seven more game winning RBIs to suit. Well,
- 15:01Speaker 4: he only needs six now, yeah, so no big deal.
- 15:04Speaker 4: Just keep it up, Just keep doing what you're doing.
- 15:07Speaker 4: By the way, the record is five straight games. Kirk
- 15:09Speaker 4: Gibson had a game winning RBI in oh that was
- 15:13Speaker 4: not in the playoffs, though. This is different, different ball
- 15:15Speaker 4: game right here. So Jorges certainly been shining in the
- 15:20Speaker 4: big moment. Yet the three run homer to break the
- 15:22Speaker 4: three to three tie yesterday and the fifth and the
- 15:25Speaker 4: Mariners did not look back.
- 15:26Speaker 5: They win at ten to three. Talk about the other
- 15:29Speaker 5: group of heroes.
- 15:30Speaker 4: And that's the bullpen right now, because we knew starting
- 15:33Speaker 4: pitching was kind of up against it. You use three
- 15:36Speaker 4: of your starters from your rotation in one night, it's
- 15:39Speaker 4: gonna have a ripple effect on your rotation going into
- 15:43Speaker 4: the next series. There's just not enough time off in
- 15:46Speaker 4: between series when you play the fifth and final game
- 15:49Speaker 4: of the series. But the bullpen has certainly stepped up
- 15:52Speaker 4: in this series and has not for Toronto. It has
- 15:55Speaker 4: been the difference. We've banged around their bullpen and they
- 15:58Speaker 4: haven't touched hours. We have now gone nine innings nine
- 16:02Speaker 4: innings of relief in this series. One hit allowed from
- 16:07Speaker 4: our bullpen zero runs, one hit allowed, over nine innings
- 16:12Speaker 4: from this group, with Eddie Bizardo turning out to.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Be the hero we didn't know we needed. Mm hmm, Yeah,
- 16:19Speaker 5: I mean I don't know for sure.
- 16:20Speaker 7: We got the tried in obviously, almost feels like you
- 16:24Speaker 7: could have something just for those guys out of the
- 16:26Speaker 7: bullpen because we've watched how how temperamental and how volatile,
- 16:31Speaker 7: how big of relief pitching is, right, I mean, Gabe
- 16:35Speaker 7: Spier basically in that first series was what felt like
- 16:40Speaker 7: was going to be the difference whether or not you
- 16:41Speaker 7: won a game or when you didn't use him or
- 16:44Speaker 7: did use him, and if he came through or didn't
- 16:46Speaker 7: come through. Bizardo is just a dude that is kind
- 16:50Speaker 7: of He's a guy that when he came on the scene,
- 16:52Speaker 7: you're like, I don't know if I first sure like
- 16:54Speaker 7: what I see here? And yet boy his he turned
- 16:57Speaker 7: out to be an absolute godsend.
- 16:58Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been there. I hate that.
- 17:02Speaker 11: I still have the little apprehension because of what happened
- 17:05Speaker 11: with Spire over the last couple of games, but as
- 17:08Speaker 11: far as the rest of the bullpen, they've been impressive.
- 17:10Speaker 11: And yeah, when Bizardo came in yesterday. I was a
- 17:13Speaker 11: little nervous, obviously, with Logan going out so early, that
- 17:15Speaker 11: what are we going to do and how is this
- 17:17Speaker 11: bullpen going to get tired today? But they stepped up.
- 17:20Speaker 8: They were awesome.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Twenty five years from now.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I was telling Bucky last night on the post game
- 17:24Speaker 4: show from Snow Qualmi Casino and Hotel. I was saying
- 17:29Speaker 4: that twenty five years from now, when Mariner fans are
- 17:32Speaker 4: sitting around on their barstools with young people who are like,
- 17:36Speaker 4: tell me about the good old days, Uncle Jerry, Uncle
- 17:40Speaker 4: Jerry's going to be like, well we had this guy,
- 17:42Speaker 4: the big Dumper.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Oh, I know, the big Dumper, Uncle Jerry. Seattle people
- 17:46Speaker 5: don't sound like this at all.
- 17:47Speaker 8: No, but I like it.
- 17:48Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh I know about him. He's in the Hall
- 17:51Speaker 5: of Fame.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Oh and then I don't have to tell you about
- 17:54Speaker 4: him or Julio I'm imagining.
- 17:56Speaker 5: So let me tell you about Eddie Bizardo.
- 18:00Speaker 4: You want to talk about a hero son, Yes, yeah,
- 18:05Speaker 4: two and two thirds in game five. Yeah, Bizardo's gonna
- 18:11Speaker 4: be one of those characters when people look back at
- 18:14Speaker 4: the Mariners twenty twenty five postseason run.
- 18:18Speaker 5: However, deeper.
- 18:19Speaker 4: It goes than this, but he's been sensational to this point.
- 18:23Speaker 4: And frankly, I think we're over. I mean, whatever we
- 18:26Speaker 4: had to do, Bizardo going eight outs Friday night, Gilbert
- 18:30Speaker 4: having to pitch out of the pen, Castillo having to
- 18:32Speaker 4: pitch out of the pen, that storm's over. We weathered
- 18:35Speaker 4: it and that's done. Next time we play a game,
- 18:38Speaker 4: George Kirby's going to be on full rest. Luis Castillo's
- 18:41Speaker 4: going to be on full rest for game number four.
- 18:43Speaker 5: The bullpen should be right back realigned.
- 18:46Speaker 4: You didn't even have to use brash Munnos or Spire
- 18:49Speaker 4: last night, so that'll be two full days off for
- 18:52Speaker 4: your top three guys out of the pen. And apparently
- 18:55Speaker 4: Bizarto can pitch whenever you want and pitch really well.
- 18:57Speaker 4: So yeah, to be up two to oh and to
- 19:01Speaker 4: be coming home for the next three days, my goodness.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Yeah, Softie's right, Yeah.
- 19:09Speaker 11: Softy to be a fly on the wall in Softy's
- 19:12Speaker 11: house and he's watching these games.
- 19:13Speaker 5: Oh my god, poor Gina.
- 19:15Speaker 4: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's show.
- 19:21Speaker 5: What's on TEP? What's on TEP?
- 19:25Speaker 4: You know those National guys, Boy, they do some talking,
- 19:28Speaker 4: don't they. Well, we happen to have a national guy
- 19:31Speaker 4: who does a lot of talking over there at the
- 19:33Speaker 4: MLB Network who loves him some Seattle Mariners, and.
- 19:36Speaker 5: He's going to join us today.
- 19:37Speaker 4: Harold Reynolds will be with us today at eight o'clock
- 19:39Speaker 4: the former Mariner second basement. So we're excited to get
- 19:42Speaker 4: his thoughts about what's going on in this series and
- 19:45Speaker 4: beyond two and oh and coming home games three, four,
- 19:48Speaker 4: and five will be right here in Seattle at T Mobile.
- 19:51Speaker 4: We will play Tomorrow night, uh and then Thursday night
- 19:55Speaker 4: and if necessary, how about that being in control of
- 19:58Speaker 4: that asterisk. The only way it will be necessary is
- 20:02Speaker 4: if Toronto wins a game, so that would be on
- 20:06Speaker 4: Friday night, game number five. Meanwhile, the National League Championships
- 20:10Speaker 4: series got started last night. The Dodgers win a tight one.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Milwaukee made it very interesting, loaded the bases and scored
- 20:16Speaker 4: a run. So scored a run, loaded the bases. Bryce
- 20:19Speaker 4: Terrang had a chance to tie the game up, but
- 20:21Speaker 4: he bailed out of the way of a pitch that
- 20:23Speaker 4: would have hit him. It's called it just natural instinct.
- 20:26Speaker 4: If he takes that, you got a tie game. And
- 20:28Speaker 4: who knows what else. In Game number one, instead, Terrang
- 20:31Speaker 4: ends up striking out against Blake Trining on a pitch
- 20:34Speaker 4: out of the zone, and the Brewers do fall to
- 20:37Speaker 4: the Dodgers two to one in their game one. Game
- 20:40Speaker 4: two tonight, they've got the stage to themselves. It'll be
- 20:42Speaker 4: Yamamoto versus Peralta Freddy Peralta in that matchup. That's a
- 20:47Speaker 4: terrific starting pitching matchup there. Game time will be five
- 20:50Speaker 4: o'clock Monday Night football. Last night, the Bears won over
- 20:53Speaker 4: the Commanders twenty five to twenty four. Don't look now,
- 20:56Speaker 4: but the Bears have now won three straight games. They're
- 20:58Speaker 4: three and two. Meanwhile, all the Commanders are finding out
- 21:01Speaker 4: a little bit of the sophomore slump. They now sit
- 21:05Speaker 4: at three and three and just can't get going, can't
- 21:08Speaker 4: get healthy across the board, and they're struggling a little
- 21:11Speaker 4: bit after that deep run they made in the playoffs
- 21:14Speaker 4: a year ago. The Atlanta Falcons seem to have hit
- 21:16Speaker 4: their stride and they slap down the Buffalo Bills last
- 21:19Speaker 4: night twenty four to fourteen. So Michael Pennix has his
- 21:22Speaker 4: team at three and two. Meanwhile, the Bills are four
- 21:25Speaker 4: and two. On the season next Monday night. The Seahawks
- 21:28Speaker 4: will be playing Seahawks taking on the Texans next Monday night.
- 21:32Speaker 4: We haven't talked to Greg Bell since Friday, so our
- 21:35Speaker 4: Seahawks insider joins us today at seven oh five. Huskies
- 21:38Speaker 4: have a huge date in ann Arbor, Michigan this Saturday.

- 22:46Speaker 13: the deck in time shot to at center field. Varshow

- 23:14Speaker 5: the Manors. Blesting their way through Game two, they meet
- 23:17Speaker 5: up nine to three.
- 23:23Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Mariner's rep. Two zero in the American
- 23:26Speaker 4: League Championship Series. Work to do, but that means they
- 23:31Speaker 4: are just two wins shy of their first World Series
- 23:35Speaker 4: appearance in franchise history, and they're coming home three straight
- 23:39Speaker 4: games on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at t Mobile.
- 23:45Speaker 5: To try to finish off the Blue Jays.
- 23:47Speaker 4: But tremendous start for this team in the ALCS A
- 23:52Speaker 4: ten to three win last night. It was tied at
- 23:55Speaker 4: three in the fifth inning when or A Polanco with
- 23:57Speaker 4: a three run homer to double up the Blue Jays,
- 24:00Speaker 4: and then the team never looked back.

- 25:26Speaker 4: to discuss that. And of course there's a lot of
- 25:28Speaker 4: Seahawks stuff to discuss with our Seahawks insider Greg Bell.
- 25:31Speaker 4: We haven't chatted with him since Friday. I think it's
- 25:34Speaker 4: high time we do it now. That's called an international
- 25:38Speaker 4: multi sport sports rider right there. You can't stop Greg Bell.
- 25:43Speaker 4: You can only hope to contain him.
- 25:44Speaker 7: Yeah, giving that as futile, Hey, Greg, will you do
- 25:47Speaker 7: me a favor and bring back a Looney in a
- 25:49Speaker 7: Tony to show these guys what they are. They didn't
- 25:51Speaker 7: know that those things existed.
- 25:53Speaker 8: I knew a loony, I just didn't remember the Tony part.
- 25:55Speaker 15: Oh okayty Tuney's are great for leaving tips for people.
- 26:01Speaker 2: It's just very easy to Yeah.
- 26:03Speaker 5: How look has that currency been around? Is that like
- 26:06Speaker 5: men around? I mean, were looney tunes named after loonies
- 26:09Speaker 5: and toonies? Probably at least thirty.
- 26:13Speaker 15: Five years I've been going to Canada, they've had tonies. Yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 15: it's h a two dollar coin basically.
- 26:19Speaker 5: Huh huh. I'll be damn, I'll be damn weird people
- 26:21Speaker 5: up there all right?
- 26:25Speaker 15: Who knew that there was a Jacksonville to Toronto play?
- 26:29Speaker 2: I didn't I even know that existed.
- 26:30Speaker 5: You got a direct one.
- 26:32Speaker 2: I was here in two hours and their Canada, little
- 26:35Speaker 2: little commuter plane.
- 26:36Speaker 5: Look at that? Look at that?
- 26:38Speaker 4: So how much fun was last night from your perspective?
- 26:41Speaker 2: Then?
- 26:42Speaker 15: You know what was really cool is they've at first
- 26:45Speaker 15: Then when I saw it, I was like, oh, of
- 26:47Speaker 15: course they did. And what used to be Skydom when
- 26:50Speaker 15: I was a baseball beat writer the press boxes right
- 26:52Speaker 15: behind home plate, and as most stadiums have done, they've
- 26:54Speaker 15: sold those seats because they can profit off of them.
- 26:57Speaker 15: They put the media out, in this case, pretty much
- 27:00Speaker 15: by the left field thophole. Hily Rodriguez's home run the
- 27:04Speaker 15: first thing last Nay pretty much went right under me.
- 27:07Speaker 15: But where we were down the left field deep left
- 27:09Speaker 15: field line in the corner with my binoculars, I was
- 27:12Speaker 15: looking straight into the Mariner's dugout and I saw all
- 27:16Speaker 15: kinds of stuff they were doing. After Bizardo came out
- 27:19Speaker 15: of the game after his two scoreless sentings, I thought
- 27:21Speaker 15: he was an unsung hero of the game. And how
- 27:24Speaker 15: he and the bullpen reset their rotation for the rest
- 27:27Speaker 15: of it, not only the rest of the series, but
- 27:29Speaker 15: they go to the World Series.
- 27:30Speaker 9: Now.
- 27:31Speaker 15: The work that they did, the three relievers did last
- 27:33Speaker 15: night without having to use a high leverage big big deal.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I wrote this story for the distribute about that.
- 27:38Speaker 15: But anyway, when Bizardo comes out of the game and
- 27:41Speaker 15: put my binoculars during the TV time out and between
- 27:45Speaker 15: Ennings and Dan Wilson gave him a huge hug in
- 27:49Speaker 15: the middle of the dugout, and then July Rodriguez gave
- 27:51Speaker 15: him two hugs. And then Rodriguez was showing him. You
- 27:54Speaker 15: could tell it's the first time he'd ever done it,
- 27:56Speaker 15: this elaborate handshaking thing.
- 28:00Speaker 2: How they do damn whatever.
- 28:02Speaker 15: But at the end of it, Rodriganz that starts PANTOMI
- 28:06Speaker 15: I mean, twirling a lasso rope over his head like
- 28:10Speaker 15: a cowboy, and he's twirling around and dancing like he's
- 28:15Speaker 15: in a bar somewhere in.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Fifth Street in Austin.
- 28:18Speaker 15: It was Bizarres just kind of looking at him.
- 28:20Speaker 2: They're both laughing, really loose groove.
- 28:23Speaker 15: I guess winning does that, but it's not like they're
- 28:26Speaker 15: daunted by the stage and they're talking about that.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Thegetherness that they have is coming in really handy right now.
- 28:31Speaker 12: And yeah, it was.
- 28:33Speaker 15: It was kind of an interesting way to watch the
- 28:36Speaker 15: game with the binoccas into the dugout because there was
- 28:38Speaker 15: a side show going on there.
- 28:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 28:40Speaker 7: Yeah, it's pretty interesting. I mean they are definitely loosey goosey.
- 28:44Speaker 7: I mean when what was the difference. You've been here
- 28:47Speaker 7: for some of the Seattle games and yet it kind
- 28:50Speaker 7: of felt Morgish there in Toronto.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was.
- 28:55Speaker 15: I mean it was so quiet when Irigae set the
- 28:58Speaker 15: home run and then Gilbert lets him back in the
- 29:00Speaker 15: game and got loud.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Again, and then the Polanco blast, it was.
- 29:05Speaker 15: Yeah, there was a spattering of Mariner fans right behind
- 29:09Speaker 15: the dugout. There were all Josh Nabler's family from Missus
- 29:12Speaker 15: Massagua right outside Toronto, and that was about the only
- 29:16Speaker 15: noise you could hear in the whole place. Yeah, it
- 29:20Speaker 15: was the environment. Rodriguez's home run really took the starts
- 29:25Speaker 15: out of the whole place from the get go, and
- 29:27Speaker 15: then the Blue Jays were chasing him.
- 29:29Speaker 2: It didn't feel like the road game after that year.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Gonna be plenty of starts waiting for uh, waiting for
- 29:35Speaker 4: the Blue Jays here, And of course everybody's wondering how
- 29:38Speaker 4: many Blue Jays fans are going to find their way
- 29:40Speaker 4: in because we know what happens during the regular season
- 29:43Speaker 4: in this matchup, so it'll be curious, but it's certainly
- 29:47Speaker 4: going to be electric Wednesday for Game number three. Greg
- 29:50Speaker 4: Belli is with US our Seahawks insider, but for the
- 29:53Speaker 4: News Tribune they sent him to Toronto. He's covering some
- 29:56Speaker 4: Mariners baseball here in the playoffs as well, So we
- 29:59Speaker 4: get to hit Greg bell with all sorts of questions
- 30:02Speaker 4: these days. But we haven't talked to you about the
- 30:04Speaker 4: Seahawks win over Jacksonville. I mean, how does Mike McDonald
- 30:09Speaker 4: explain how his defense could play so poorly, couldn't cover,
- 30:13Speaker 4: couldn't get after Baker Mayfield with the pass rush the
- 30:16Speaker 4: previous game, and then against.
- 30:18Speaker 5: Good Jacksonville team. I much improved Jacksonville team. Suddenly.
- 30:22Speaker 4: The coverage was outstanding, the pass rush was outstanding. How
- 30:26Speaker 4: do you change that much in one week.
- 30:29Speaker 15: Well, it all comes back to tackling, which is what
- 30:31Speaker 15: they focused on last week. They tackled at ten in
- 30:35Speaker 15: the early downs, and that created I mean, I wrote
- 30:39Speaker 15: it's been a few days in a couple of games since,
- 30:42Speaker 15: but I wrote the third downs that Jacksonville had third
- 30:45Speaker 15: and eleven, third and sixteen, third and fourteen, third and twelve,
- 30:50Speaker 15: third and nine. I think it was like ten plays
- 30:53Speaker 15: of third and nine and more. It was the opposite
- 30:56Speaker 15: against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers the week before. They
- 30:59Speaker 15: were on Church short third downs. It's a lot harder
- 31:03Speaker 15: to cover in the NFL third and three because they
- 31:06Speaker 15: can do anything. They can roll out, run past quick slants,
- 31:09Speaker 15: they can run quick outs, they can run hitches. It's
- 31:12Speaker 15: hard to cover those. But when it's third and sixteen,
- 31:16Speaker 15: now you can cover for four or five seconds. That's
- 31:18Speaker 15: a whole different proposition. Then your pass rush can get
- 31:21Speaker 15: to the quarterback, which it did for seven sacks, a
- 31:24Speaker 15: season high. I thought it was all due to the
- 31:27Speaker 15: early six A McDonald said it after the game. Putting
- 31:30Speaker 15: him in such third and long situations is how the
- 31:33Speaker 15: pass rush went off and the quarterback having to hold
- 31:36Speaker 15: the ball longer because his receivers are running seventeen yard
- 31:38Speaker 15: routes instead of four yard routes. It's subtle, but it's
- 31:41Speaker 15: a huge difference, and that's what happened. They tackled well
- 31:46Speaker 15: on early downs. Speaking of tackling, nick Emun Worry was
- 31:50Speaker 15: the best tackling in the field, and I think you
- 31:53Speaker 15: now seeing what we all saw during every day and
- 31:55Speaker 15: practices during preseason as to why they're going to play
- 31:58Speaker 15: him everywhere. He's a short tackler open field, right away
- 32:03Speaker 15: in the backfield, receivers open field have to catch.
- 32:07Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Name Warrior really impressed me on Sunday.
- 32:10Speaker 7: Yeah, he was pretty impressive, well other than that one
- 32:13Speaker 7: where Travis Hunter juked him out of his Yeah, but
- 32:17Speaker 7: then again, I think he can do that dating boat right.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:21Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean so part of the you know, the
- 32:24Speaker 7: defense stepping up obviously limiting them to twelve points.
- 32:27Speaker 5: It makes it where it's not that big of a
- 32:29Speaker 5: deal that you only scored twenty.
- 32:30Speaker 7: You were talking about the way in which the pass
- 32:33Speaker 7: rush was working, but they they shut him down. As
- 32:35Speaker 7: far as the run game goes as well, they couldn't
- 32:37Speaker 7: get anything going there. What did you see out of
- 32:39Speaker 7: the front seven?
- 32:41Speaker 15: Well, exactly, they tackled, and they tackled on early downs
- 32:44Speaker 15: at the line of scrimmage. At the end was averaging
- 32:47Speaker 15: almost six yards of carry. Most of his games, they
- 32:50Speaker 15: hadn't even barely had three yards to carry. I think
- 32:52Speaker 15: it was fifty nine yards for the game. They were
- 32:54Speaker 15: averaging one hundred and fifteen. Coming into the game, they
- 32:57Speaker 15: were the fifth best rushing team in the league, and
- 32:59Speaker 15: they nothing. And Leonon Williams had a really good game
- 33:03Speaker 15: in that regard to Marcus Lawrence saw the sacks, but
- 33:06Speaker 15: he was also crushing and throat the alignement, collapsing down
- 33:11Speaker 15: the edges of the Jaguars offensive line. There are two
- 33:15Speaker 15: ed guys when they play as well as they did,
- 33:17Speaker 15: Williams and Lawrence, running games is going to fail. Tackles
- 33:21Speaker 15: were getting pushed into guards. That why Atten didn't have
- 33:25Speaker 15: anywhere to run, and then that created the third and lungs.
- 33:29Speaker 4: Greg bellis with US our Seahawks insider. Of course, you
- 33:31Speaker 4: can follow his coverage at the Newstribune dot com. He's
- 33:34Speaker 4: covering Mariners and Seahawks these days, and he is our
- 33:37Speaker 4: regular guest here at seven five on Chuck and Buck
- 33:41Speaker 4: in the mornings. So I mean that we're talking about
- 33:44Speaker 4: a big chunk of the season now that Julian Love
- 33:47Speaker 4: and Devin Witherspoon have missed. I mean they weren't placed
- 33:51Speaker 4: on IR So it clearly is a week the week
- 33:54Speaker 4: situation here. But is there any good news to report?
- 33:57Speaker 4: Are they close to getting back? Because I got the
- 34:00Speaker 4: depression that they're pretty important to this team.
- 34:03Speaker 2: They are. I still think Witherspoon's the best player on
- 34:05Speaker 2: the team.
- 34:06Speaker 15: He's been getting sent out for more tests and offsite
- 34:11Speaker 15: and it's not clear when he's gonna come back, and
- 34:14Speaker 15: it may not be this week, it may not be
- 34:17Speaker 15: till after the buy in a couple of weeks. McDonald
- 34:21Speaker 15: has learned to just not say a whole lot about
- 34:23Speaker 15: injuries because he doesn't know a lot about him. He
- 34:25Speaker 15: doesn't want to know a lot about him, and he's
- 34:27Speaker 15: more you'll find out when he's ba type of thing.
- 34:30Speaker 15: But he's not committing to Weatherspoon being able to play
- 34:34Speaker 15: this week, even with the extra day. They're off today,
- 34:36Speaker 15: they're off tomorrow. They're gonna take it at Wednesday off
- 34:38Speaker 15: and then Thursday's gonna become their Wednesday for the Monday
- 34:41Speaker 15: night game. So they get two full days off here
- 34:44Speaker 15: and really two and a half three because they weren't
- 34:47Speaker 15: on the field for Monday. They just did film and
- 34:48Speaker 15: treatment coming back from Florida. So this is almost another
- 34:52Speaker 15: mini MANI buy. And they don't even think Witherspoon. I
- 34:55Speaker 15: won't say that, but McDonald won't commit to Witherspoon coming back.
- 34:59Speaker 15: Love seems to be ahead of him. It's a hamstring
- 35:01Speaker 15: for love, but to be determined. I don't know the
- 35:06Speaker 15: answer to that yet.
- 35:07Speaker 2: And it doesn't sound like Witherspon's any time soon. Gee.
- 35:11Speaker 7: I was listening to a show on the way in
- 35:14Speaker 7: and Adam Scheffner was on. There was talking about the
- 35:16Speaker 7: trade deadline, how much more active it's gotten in the
- 35:19Speaker 7: last few years, and I mean he's thinking that between
- 35:22Speaker 7: now and November fourth, the trade deadline, there could be
- 35:25Speaker 7: fifteen more trades to add to the three that have
- 35:27Speaker 7: already already happened. Do you expect the Mariners to be
- 35:30Speaker 7: in on any of that? I mean, especially considering what
- 35:32Speaker 7: you're just talking about with some of the injuries.
- 35:35Speaker 2: The Mariners trade someone right now. They're gonna be an
- 35:37Speaker 2: uprising but not Mariners. Yeah, let's not trade. Maybe a
- 35:43Speaker 2: World Series team made it.
- 35:45Speaker 5: Yeah, that's kid.
- 35:46Speaker 2: I'm sorry I had to teach.
- 35:47Speaker 15: I get you, you and I are you and I
- 35:49Speaker 15: are in the same boat as far as that goes
- 35:51Speaker 15: right now, which which team I'm covering.
- 35:53Speaker 5: Yeah, they're gonna be act.
- 35:54Speaker 2: They're gonna try. They they we already know and that
- 35:58Speaker 2: didn't need a leak to.
- 35:59Speaker 15: Tell us that they were. Wouldn't mind trading Wooland. But
- 36:02Speaker 15: now he's concussed and the league rules are you can't
- 36:05Speaker 15: trade an injured player. He's gonna have to come back
- 36:08Speaker 15: to play first and show so he can showcase.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Him a little bit. I don't know that they're gonna
- 36:12Speaker 2: be able to.
- 36:13Speaker 15: Do that at this point with Woolan, it might be
- 36:16Speaker 15: worth keeping him because if he leaves as a free
- 36:18Speaker 15: agent at the end of his rookie deal at the
- 36:20Speaker 15: end of this season, they could get a third round
- 36:22Speaker 15: pick for him because he's already made a Pro Bowl
- 36:24Speaker 15: and as many snaps as he's played, by the NFL's
- 36:27Speaker 15: calculation for comp picks, he should be I would think
- 36:30Speaker 15: knocking on the door of the top tier, which is
- 36:32Speaker 15: a third round comptick. So if you're the Seahawks, if
- 36:35Speaker 15: you don't get a third round offered, then why would
- 36:37Speaker 15: you trade him?
- 36:38Speaker 2: And nobody's gonna offer.
- 36:39Speaker 15: I wouldn't think anyone would offer a third round pick
- 36:41Speaker 15: for him, So I don't think he's getting traded for
- 36:44Speaker 15: those reasons. But they're always trying to depth on the
- 36:48Speaker 15: offensive defensive line. Jonathan Hankins is still on the team,
- 36:51Speaker 15: but not playing and nowhere near coming back.
- 36:55Speaker 2: It's still in the injured list from the off season, so.
- 36:58Speaker 15: They could use more defensive tackles it Brandon Peaey come
- 37:01Speaker 15: up at nose tackle off the practice squad a couple
- 37:03Speaker 15: of times. Trading is.
- 37:08Speaker 2: John Schneider for the depth pieces. He'd rather pick him.
- 37:11Speaker 15: Up off waiver wires, practice squads of other teams and
- 37:14Speaker 15: free agents. Then they give up a trade asset for him.
- 37:17Speaker 15: So it wouldn't surprise me if the Seahawks aren't.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Don't actually pull one off. They'd like to in a
- 37:23Speaker 2: couple of cases, but I don't know if they actually
- 37:25Speaker 2: will do it.
- 37:25Speaker 5: I don't think he can help himself.
- 37:27Speaker 4: You know, everything you say makes logical, reasonable sense, But
- 37:31Speaker 4: I think he just wants to play like I want
- 37:33Speaker 4: to ask, Oh yeah, if he'll left out, I'm not
- 37:36Speaker 4: going to sell.
- 37:36Speaker 5: I'm not going to just look to move pieces. I
- 37:39Speaker 5: got to add something here.
- 37:40Speaker 4: And if you are if there is a weakness on
- 37:43Speaker 4: this team, Greg's still running the football for goodness sake,
- 37:47Speaker 4: and I don't know if there's an offensive lineman out
- 37:51Speaker 4: there that fixes that. And maybe you could tell me
- 37:54Speaker 4: when Robbie Oots is going to be back. I didn't
- 37:56Speaker 4: expect him to be so valuable to this run attack,
- 37:59Speaker 4: but it seems like they miss him.
- 38:02Speaker 1: They do.
- 38:03Speaker 15: They did have Brady Russell in the backfield as a
- 38:05Speaker 15: fullback a couple of times, but you're right, they're still
- 38:07Speaker 15: not running the ball at the darn and it makes
- 38:09Speaker 15: what Sam Darnold is doing at quarterback even more impressive
- 38:12Speaker 15: because this isn't how it's supposed to operate. He was
- 38:15Speaker 15: carrying them at times on Sunday without any other offense
- 38:19Speaker 15: than his papping.
- 38:21Speaker 2: And he was really good.
- 38:22Speaker 15: That throw sixty one yard touchdown to Smith and Jigbu
- 38:25Speaker 15: was the best throw I've seen him make any practice
- 38:28Speaker 15: against air any That was the best throw I've seen
- 38:31Speaker 15: him make, perfectly on time, right onto Smith and Jigg's
- 38:35Speaker 15: hands and stride. But this is not how they're supposed
- 38:38Speaker 15: to function offensively. That's what they're still chasing. We said
- 38:43Speaker 15: it would be a work in progress in the offense,
- 38:45Speaker 15: in the running game, run blocking for a while, and
- 38:48Speaker 15: we're only still a month into the season, so it
- 38:50Speaker 15: still may take a while. But we've seen Kubiak's going.
- 38:53Speaker 2: To keep trying.
- 38:54Speaker 5: All right, man, great stuff.
- 38:56Speaker 15: Oh, I do want to say one thing, sure, I'm
- 38:58Speaker 15: want to say one thing. Yeah, I wanted to make
- 39:00Speaker 15: Byron Murphy's week. I when he told me that he
- 39:05Speaker 15: had a daughter born last week on Tuesday, that was
- 39:09Speaker 15: three months premature. I almost cried in the press conference room.
- 39:14Speaker 15: Our twins, my wife and I was twins were born
- 39:17Speaker 15: nine weeks earlier, and they were three pounds each. Brian
- 39:20Speaker 15: Murphy's daughter was two and a half pounds.
- 39:24Speaker 2: I can't tell you the hell on earth that nick
- 39:26Speaker 2: you is for a new parent, the first time parent,
- 39:28Speaker 2: like Brian Murphy is. I was in my twenties. When
- 39:29Speaker 2: I was my twins were in the nick You.
- 39:32Speaker 15: The scariest thing I've ever been in is a nick you.
- 39:36Speaker 2: The nick you nurses are angels on earth.
- 39:38Speaker 15: Anybody out there who knows that nick you nurse and
- 39:40Speaker 15: might be listening to the nick you nurse, You're the
- 39:43Speaker 15: greatest people on earth. The week he had, I can't
- 39:46Speaker 15: even begin to describe to you for anyone who would
- 39:49Speaker 15: care so much. Of course he would about his newborn daughter.
- 39:54Speaker 15: He didn't get any sleep. He could say, well, it's.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Hard to sleep.
- 39:57Speaker 15: He didn't get any sleep, and he's worried sick about
- 40:00Speaker 15: that baby girl who's still in the hospital. He said,
- 40:03Speaker 15: everything's great, growth she's on It's amazing that she's two
- 40:07Speaker 15: and a half pounds of not needing a ventilator, breathing
- 40:09Speaker 15: on her own. You should have seen the smile on
- 40:12Speaker 15: his face when he told me that. And it ain't
- 40:16Speaker 15: not just about football, man. These guys have real.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Lives, and it was so cool.
- 40:21Speaker 15: That was one of favorite stories I've ever written, just
- 40:23Speaker 15: because it hits so close to home to me. But
- 40:26Speaker 15: just so you know, he has the game of his
- 40:27Speaker 15: life in two sacks and said he never had a
- 40:31Speaker 15: sack on the first.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Play of a game, but he wasn't playing with football
- 40:34Speaker 2: in his mind s. Man.

- 42:16Speaker 4: like a glove, fits you like a glove.
- 42:19Speaker 5: You've never looked better.
- 42:20Speaker 4: Thanks, Yeah, Bucky Jacobson, former Mariner. My name is Chuck Powell.
- 42:24Speaker 4: Ashley Ryan here as well. We roll into our eight
- 42:27Speaker 4: o'clock hour with the knowledge that the Mariners are up
- 42:30Speaker 4: two oh in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays,
- 42:34Speaker 4: taking both games on the road, and now they come
- 42:37Speaker 4: home for games three, four, and five if necessary right
- 42:41Speaker 4: here at T Mobile, joining us now on the program.
- 42:44Speaker 4: He is the face of the MLB network. He is

- 42:50Speaker 5: He made highlight play after a highlight play for you
- 42:53Speaker 5: here in.
- 42:53Speaker 4: Seattle, switch hitter, and what a smile. Harold Reynolds now
- 42:59Speaker 4: joins is here on Chuck and Buck in the morning.
- 43:02Speaker 9: Good morning, sir, Hey, isn't it a good morning?
- 43:05Speaker 5: It's it's a great Oh yeah, I thought it was going.
- 43:09Speaker 9: To be a two ho lead beautiful.
- 43:12Speaker 5: Uh yeah, you know what, I'm not surprised by it.
- 43:14Speaker 5: I'll tell you that.
- 43:15Speaker 4: What's the what's the feel around the MLB Network studios.
- 43:18Speaker 4: Is everyone there surprised.
- 43:20Speaker 2: But you.
- 43:22Speaker 9: Uh no, not really. I mean we've had a kind
- 43:24Speaker 9: of a split. I mean, Toronto was playing so well.
- 43:27Speaker 9: When you take down the Yankees and we're out of East,
- 43:29Speaker 9: everybody thinks that's the greatest thing ever. But we did
- 43:33Speaker 9: have a lot of people that felt like it was
- 43:35Speaker 9: the World Series is going to be Seattle in la
- 43:38Speaker 9: and uh, it's looking that way right now. But the
- 43:40Speaker 9: Maritas are playing great ball. They're just playing uh, they're
- 43:44Speaker 9: executing the pitching. You know, everything you guys are talking about.
- 43:47Speaker 7: I'm sure, yeah, obviously, I mean the way that they're pitching,
- 43:50Speaker 7: it's I mean, it's been a few years where it's
- 43:52Speaker 7: kind of felt like this squad was set up as
- 43:55Speaker 7: far as the pitching staff goes to make some make
- 43:58Speaker 7: some hay in October and if they could just get
- 44:00Speaker 7: into the postseason. Right now, it's kind of coming to fruition,
- 44:03Speaker 7: even with that fifteen inning game. So I mean, how
- 44:05Speaker 7: big is it for the way in which Bizardo and
- 44:09Speaker 7: company came in yesterday to just kind of close that
- 44:12Speaker 7: thing out and let them reset their rotation.
- 44:15Speaker 16: Yeah, I thought even Game one, you know, even before
- 44:18Speaker 16: yesterday's game, Game one, with the way Miller pitched, coming
- 44:23Speaker 16: after that fifteen inning game really kind of set them up.
- 44:26Speaker 9: And you know what's unique about Seattle is the starting
- 44:30Speaker 9: pitching is going deep in the game. And what I
- 44:32Speaker 9: mean by unique is most of these clubs are playing
- 44:34Speaker 9: bullpen games. We saw yesterday the Brewers play the first
- 44:38Speaker 9: game of the series and they start with open earns,
- 44:41Speaker 9: a bullpen game, and that's kind of been a strategy
- 44:44Speaker 9: the last three years. So it's refreshing to see a
- 44:47Speaker 9: team like Seattle going out there with starting pitching saying
- 44:51Speaker 9: we're going to go as long as we can and
- 44:52Speaker 9: then we'll get to the pin.
- 44:54Speaker 4: We don't even have our arguably best starter available, yet
- 44:58Speaker 4: he's still coming. It looks like later this series in
- 45:01Speaker 4: Brian Wu So yeah, I mean, what an advantage in
- 45:06Speaker 4: today's day and age. How much credit do you give
- 45:08Speaker 4: the Mariners organization. Most people give it credit, Harold for
- 45:11Speaker 4: the way they develop and the way that they find
- 45:14Speaker 4: pitching talent, but the way that they keep it healthy
- 45:17Speaker 4: because a lot of these organizations get to the end
- 45:20Speaker 4: of the year and they're lucky to have one or
- 45:21Speaker 4: two quality starters.
- 45:24Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 45:25Speaker 9: No, they've done a great job. And it's depth, you know,
- 45:28Speaker 9: that's what keeps it going for them. They've done a tremendous.
- 45:31Speaker 1: Job with that.
- 45:32Speaker 9: But I think also I need to give Jerry a
- 45:36Speaker 9: lot of credit. You know, he's taking a lot of
- 45:38Speaker 9: hits through the years. But the run that they're on
- 45:42Speaker 9: right now and John Stanton that they've been able to
- 45:45Speaker 9: keep this pitching at the right time. Now, we're going
- 45:48Speaker 9: to run into a scenario here in a couple of years,
- 45:50Speaker 9: so you're gonna start paying guys and we might see
- 45:53Speaker 9: some changes with the with what happens with the guys.
- 45:56Speaker 9: But right now they're hitting at the right time. And
- 45:58Speaker 9: I thought going to get the offense that they needed
- 46:02Speaker 9: to go get a trade deadline is the only reason
- 46:05Speaker 9: we're sitting there having this conversation today. Yeah, we've watched
- 46:08Speaker 9: this before where they had great pitching, great year, they
- 46:12Speaker 9: just didn't hit and going to get those two guys,
- 46:15Speaker 9: and I know they haven't hit like they're capable of,
- 46:17Speaker 9: but just lathening the lineup has forced clubs to have
- 46:21Speaker 9: to pitch a lot deeper to a better team. So
- 46:26Speaker 9: that to me is a bigger reason we're sitting here today.
- 46:29Speaker 7: Yeah, Harold, how big is that in the postseason? I mean,
- 46:32Speaker 7: you know how it is just day to day throughout
- 46:34Speaker 7: the season, where as a team when you feel like
- 46:37Speaker 7: I don't have to put a bunch of pressure on
- 46:38Speaker 7: myself because if I don't come through, the dude behind
- 46:41Speaker 7: me or pick me up and so on and so
- 46:43Speaker 7: forth throughout the whole thing. But you get into the postseason,
- 46:46Speaker 7: there's so much hanging in the balance of every single pitch,
- 46:48Speaker 7: every single bat.
- 46:49Speaker 5: How important is it to war this team?
- 46:52Speaker 7: Because I'm sure that these guys are feeling like I
- 46:54Speaker 7: don't have to go out there and get it done,
- 46:56Speaker 7: because it does feel like one through nine had some
- 46:58Speaker 7: guys that are going to compete.
- 47:01Speaker 9: Well, yeah, because what it does it taxes that pitcher.
- 47:05Speaker 9: You know, every pitch now is a concentration pitchet, and
- 47:08Speaker 9: it's loud, and you make a mistake, it shows up
- 47:12Speaker 9: and it just puts repeated pressure on We'll go yesterday's game,
- 47:16Speaker 9: I mean the first inning, you all of a sudden
- 47:19Speaker 9: now where you walk the leadoff guy and then Here
- 47:22Speaker 9: comes cal, here comes Julio, and you know, down the
- 47:26Speaker 9: road you got two more even even got to Sware
- 47:29Speaker 9: as yet or Nailor with the power. So it changes
- 47:34Speaker 9: the whole dynamic of everything as you're looking through the roster.
- 47:37Speaker 9: And then I did not over skip Polanco. That kid
- 47:40Speaker 9: is rolling right now. He's playing tremendous ball. But it
- 47:43Speaker 9: just shows you that there's so many guys that can
- 47:45Speaker 9: hurt you. And that's that's the beauty of having a
- 47:49Speaker 9: length in a lineup.
- 47:50Speaker 4: Former Mariner Second Basement Rold Reynolds our guest of course
- 47:54Speaker 4: with MLB Network now MLB Network's MLB Tonight, the National
- 47:59Speaker 4: Pregame Show Award winning National Pregame Show is coming up
- 48:03Speaker 4: later today at three pm Pacific time. And through the
- 48:07Speaker 4: World Series, of course, Harold sits along Greg Amsinger, who's
- 48:11Speaker 4: come a long way with his baseball knowledge, by the way,
- 48:14Speaker 4: and then the goofy asked Dan plea Sack as well,
- 48:16Speaker 4: So are you guys are you arguing over Brewers versus
- 48:20Speaker 4: Mariners right now?
- 48:22Speaker 5: You and Plea Sack.
- 48:24Speaker 9: You know, Dan is so funny, like he's the all
- 48:27Speaker 9: time saves leader for the Brewers, but he's played with
- 48:31Speaker 9: like fourteen teams. So he's the biggest front runner in
- 48:34Speaker 9: the world. And you know, so he's all big blue
- 48:39Speaker 9: Toronto because he pitchs there, you know. And then it
- 48:41Speaker 9: was the Cubs, and then it was the Brewers. I'm like, Dan,
- 48:44Speaker 9: come on now, and he didn't pitch in Seattle, so
- 48:47Speaker 9: I'm like, don't even try to clan the Mariners. So
- 48:50Speaker 9: it's funny. We have a blast with those guys. It's
- 48:53Speaker 9: a good time.
- 48:54Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great watch. You guys are awesome. I
- 48:58Speaker 4: thoroughly enjoy it.
- 49:00Speaker 5: All right.
- 49:00Speaker 4: So you brought up Horiy Polonko. I think we need
- 49:02Speaker 4: to spend more time on him. You were a mayor
- 49:04Speaker 4: in her second basement. He's the current mayorner second basement.
- 49:07Speaker 4: And man, he has just come through time and time
- 49:10Speaker 4: again here in the playoffs. What was the book on
- 49:14Speaker 4: Jorgey Polonko? And is anything he's doing surprising you right now?
- 49:18Speaker 4: In these playoffs?
- 49:20Speaker 9: He's always been able to hit the knock. Was kind
- 49:23Speaker 9: of at when he was a shortstop. He just wasn't
- 49:25Speaker 9: a short stop. And then trying to figure out I say,
- 49:29Speaker 9: more than anything, the reason that he's had the struggle
- 49:33Speaker 9: of finding work so to speak, is more where the
- 49:36Speaker 9: industry's at. You know, with age, they just kind of
- 49:38Speaker 9: push guys off and give him one year deals. But
- 49:41Speaker 9: he's made some money and the opportunity to keep going forward.
- 49:45Speaker 9: But as a player, the thing I see with him
- 49:48Speaker 9: is the intelligence. I look at how he is attacking
- 49:52Speaker 9: these pictures. He's got a game plan, the experience is
- 49:55Speaker 9: coming up. It's almost like I'm looking back and I'm
- 49:59Speaker 9: seeing and a guy that's been sitting there talking to
- 50:02Speaker 9: Edgar Martinez. You know, I can see Edgar was so
- 50:06Speaker 9: stubborn with his approach, like I got a game plan,
- 50:09Speaker 9: I'm staying here, I'm trusted it. They're gonna throw me
- 50:12Speaker 9: my pitch to hit them boom. And I see the
- 50:15Speaker 9: same thing with Jorge. You know where he takes trek
- 50:18Speaker 9: scuoble deep twice. It's not by accident. He knew what
- 50:22Speaker 9: he was looking for and then the last couple of
- 50:24Speaker 9: days to come up big with plut situations. He knows
- 50:29Speaker 9: what he's looking for. So I think he's a He's
- 50:31Speaker 9: a tremendous student, and right now he's able to execute it.
- 50:34Speaker 9: But I can see the influence of Edgar and I
- 50:38Speaker 9: can see the influence of Sitzer with Stan consistently you're swaying.
- 50:41Speaker 9: I think those two have had a huge influence on him.
- 50:45Speaker 5: Harold.
- 50:46Speaker 7: I don't think you and Dan Wilson's careers overlapped here
- 50:49Speaker 7: in Seattle. I think yours was winding down as his
- 50:51Speaker 7: was just getting started. But when you watch him from Afar,
- 50:55Speaker 7: I mean the one he gets, he gets every manager
- 50:58Speaker 7: is going to have their care out there, and if
- 51:01Speaker 7: you're kind of a rookie where he was, you know,
- 51:03Speaker 7: took over last year and did well and then this
- 51:05Speaker 7: was his first full season. When you watch them, I
- 51:08Speaker 7: see a guy that just kind of even keel and
- 51:10Speaker 7: then he believes in his guys, I mean down to
- 51:12Speaker 7: the Edward Bizardo kind of had one bad game in
- 51:17Speaker 7: the in the previous series, uh, and yet he bounced
- 51:20Speaker 7: back from that. Spire had a couple bad outings, and
- 51:23Speaker 7: yet he bounced back from that. How much do you
- 51:26Speaker 7: think it plays a good role in the mindset of
- 51:28Speaker 7: these players considering I think that their manager most certainly
- 51:32Speaker 7: believes in them and they feel it.
- 51:35Speaker 9: Uh, yeah a lot. I mean two two things that
- 51:39Speaker 9: stood out to me. One, most of these guys watched
- 51:42Speaker 9: Dan Wilson play. You know when they were growing up.
- 51:45Speaker 9: If you follow the Mariners and you follow Griffy, you
- 51:48Speaker 9: follow the great runs. Uh, these guys got a chance
- 51:50Speaker 9: to really kind of see that group as they were
- 51:53Speaker 9: growing up. So I think that's that's a big part
- 51:56Speaker 9: of it. And then secondly, he's been around the organization
- 51:59Speaker 9: even when he wasn't managing, So they have a personal
- 52:03Speaker 9: different personal relationship with Dan and now he becomes a manager.
- 52:07Speaker 9: But there was one scene yesterday I pointed it out
- 52:12Speaker 9: in Game one that really tells me a lot about
- 52:16Speaker 9: Dan Wilson and the Mariners, and it's when cal Rawley,
- 52:20Speaker 9: after Ryce Miller has runs on first and second, after
- 52:23Speaker 9: he's gett up the lid off Homer and cal Rawy
- 52:26Speaker 9: walks out to the mound, calls time, and walks out,
- 52:29Speaker 9: and not one single infielder comes to the huddle. You
- 52:33Speaker 9: know how there's a pitchy change in a conversation. You
- 52:35Speaker 9: see every infielder come in there and try the attitude sets.
- 52:38Speaker 5: Hanging there, buddy, you know whatever.
- 52:41Speaker 9: And it was just cal and Miller, And that's Dan
- 52:48Speaker 9: Wilson letting him have the free reign of understanding. My
- 52:53Speaker 9: catcher knows how to run the game. And I think
- 52:56Speaker 9: that's what Lou did with Dan, and I can see
- 52:59Speaker 9: that with and that relationship is big. There's so much
- 53:03Speaker 9: leadership and so much ability for him to run things.
- 53:07Speaker 9: I think that's a direct descendant from Loopanela trusting and
- 53:11Speaker 9: Dan Wilson and Dan Wilson pouring that into his catcher
- 53:15Speaker 9: and his teammates feet off of that. Just like you
- 53:18Speaker 9: go back now and you talk to the guys about
- 53:20Speaker 9: those teams that Dan played on. He clearly ran the
- 53:24Speaker 9: pitching staff. He was a big time leader on that team.
- 53:28Speaker 9: And I think you see it with cal Well.
- 53:30Speaker 4: Speaking of the dumper, we're seeing John Schneider approach him
- 53:33Speaker 4: completely differently than he has in past games, regular season games.
- 53:38Speaker 4: He's being careful with him. I mean, it's just been
- 53:41Speaker 4: one year of cal Raley, you know, behaving at the
- 53:45Speaker 4: plate like Babe Ruth. But has this magical year that
- 53:49Speaker 4: he's had. I mean every time he went into a
- 53:51Speaker 4: series like don't let Barry Bonds beat you, don't let
- 53:54Speaker 4: Aaron Judge beat you. Has cal rally earned that in
- 53:56Speaker 4: this one year? Do you have to pitch a round
- 53:59Speaker 4: him if you're going to face cal Raleigh?
- 54:02Speaker 15: Now?
- 54:04Speaker 9: Uh? Yeah, it's been a transformative year. And I think
- 54:07Speaker 9: the one thing you don't hit sixty home runs without
- 54:12Speaker 9: being able to do a lot of damage from both
- 54:15Speaker 9: sides of the plate against a number of pitchers. And
- 54:18Speaker 9: I think the one thing that I always look at
- 54:21Speaker 9: is is he hitting good pitching? Is he doing this
- 54:24Speaker 9: off of good pictures? And if you look at his
- 54:27Speaker 9: resume of guys that he's homered off of, he's doing
- 54:30Speaker 9: it off of good pitching. So that's where you get
- 54:33Speaker 9: that next step, that next level of greatness. And I
- 54:38Speaker 9: think Cal's entered into that territory and he's taken off
- 54:42Speaker 9: of he had a big year last year for a catcher,
- 54:44Speaker 9: he just didn't get sixty homers, you know. So now
- 54:48Speaker 9: he's gone to a whole another level and you can
- 54:50Speaker 9: see the respect that they're pitching him with in this series.
- 54:54Speaker 7: Harold, you had mentioned earlier the good moves that Jerry
- 54:57Speaker 7: and Justin had made. I mean, the I think the
- 54:59Speaker 7: best one is the Josh Naylor ad there at the
- 55:03Speaker 7: trade deadline.
- 55:04Speaker 5: I just love the grit that he plays with. I mean,
- 55:07Speaker 5: take us inside.
- 55:08Speaker 7: Somebody that's been in a clubhouse understands that was one
- 55:11Speaker 7: of those guys that how important it is to have
- 55:13Speaker 7: somebody that kind of plays with a certain level of
- 55:16Speaker 7: intensity that makes sure everybody else plays the same well.
- 55:19Speaker 9: It raises everybody else, It raises their their their their drive.
- 55:25Speaker 9: And when you have one hundred and sixty two games,
- 55:27Speaker 9: it's easy to get for playoff games, but one hundred
- 55:30Speaker 9: and sixty two games, there's gonna be those days where
- 55:32Speaker 9: you just feel like, Eh, I don't know, asked Buck about.
- 55:35Speaker 9: He knows I'm talking about. There's some days you drag
- 55:37Speaker 9: and then the series is like, oh, the Yankees are
- 55:39Speaker 9: coming in to town, let's go. When you have a
- 55:41Speaker 9: Josh Naylor every day coming in who slams his head
- 55:45Speaker 9: with the bat if he doesn't get a hit and
- 55:48Speaker 9: he's not afraid to get in somebody's face, that raises
- 55:51Speaker 9: the level of enthusiasm, excitement, and concentration. So I love
- 55:58Speaker 9: what he plays with. I love what he's on top
- 56:00Speaker 9: of that, he's crazy talented. He's made the defense better.
- 56:04Speaker 9: He can flat out here and he's stealing bags, all
- 56:08Speaker 9: the things he's doing, he's really an impressive player.
- 56:12Speaker 5: Yeah, we're calling him Thicky Henderson these days. With all
- 56:15Speaker 5: of this that.
- 56:18Speaker 9: I'm gonna use that.
- 56:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I afraid that. Yeah, take that material, run with it.
- 56:22Speaker 4: I'll be very proud to hear it on MLB tonight
- 56:25Speaker 4: later on today. All right, so we know how crazy
- 56:30Speaker 4: baseball can be, and you can't take anything for granted,
- 56:33Speaker 4: but to win both games on the road, considering a
- 56:37Speaker 4: little bit of a storm they had to weather coming
- 56:39Speaker 4: out of that long, fifteen inning marathon Friday night, I mean,
- 56:43Speaker 4: where's the avenue that Toronto gets back into this series?
- 56:48Speaker 5: If there is one that you can see.
- 56:52Speaker 9: It's gonna be tough. And because the Mariners are now
- 56:57Speaker 9: have their pitching rested, and you talked about earlier, Wu
- 57:02Speaker 9: hasn't even pitched yet. Yeah, so you know they're not hitting.
- 57:06Speaker 9: Toronto hit some balls at people quite a bit in
- 57:09Speaker 9: that series. So if I'm them, I'm saying, hey, some
- 57:12Speaker 9: balls are gonna start to fall. But on the Mariner's side,
- 57:16Speaker 9: they neutralize them and allowed to get the lead early.
- 57:20Speaker 9: It kind of changes how they got to play their
- 57:22Speaker 9: style of play. And we can continue to do that,
- 57:26Speaker 9: get the lead and continue to keep the pressure on
- 57:28Speaker 9: those those hitters. Good things are gonna happen. I just
- 57:32Speaker 9: don't see losing this series when you go up to
- 57:35Speaker 9: oh and you win to in Toronto. I just don't
- 57:37Speaker 9: see it.
- 57:38Speaker 4: All right, So are you gonna get here for any
- 57:40Speaker 4: of this? I mean, you should have been a part
- 57:42Speaker 4: of that Friday Night. I've never felt an atmosphere like
- 57:45Speaker 4: that in a baseball game. So are you gonna get here?
- 57:47Speaker 4: Are you gonna wait until to see if we make
- 57:49Speaker 4: the World Series? What's the play Former Mariner Harold Reynolds.
- 57:53Speaker 9: Well, there's two scenarios. One. Obviously, I'm covering the World Series.
- 57:58Speaker 9: I will be on ground wherever it's at. I'm playing
- 58:01Speaker 9: on that be in Seattle. But with this being the
- 58:04Speaker 9: first time the Mariners can go to a World Series,
- 58:07Speaker 9: if it goes to a Game six or a Game seven,
- 58:10Speaker 9: which I'm kind of hoping it doesn't at this point
- 58:12Speaker 9: in time, but if it does, I'm gonna go to
- 58:15Speaker 9: those games and then I'll stay for the rest of
- 58:17Speaker 9: the World Series.
- 58:18Speaker 5: Okay, but at this point.
- 58:22Speaker 9: I'm expecting them to be able to get through this thing,
- 58:25Speaker 9: and it may. You know, this team's not going away.
- 58:27Speaker 9: Toronto's not gonna go away. I don't see a four
- 58:30Speaker 9: games suite, but I do see the Mariners winning this thing.
- 58:34Speaker 4: Well, once they do win it, please rub it in,
- 58:37Speaker 4: please sex face for us.
- 58:39Speaker 2: All agree.
- 58:40Speaker 9: Yeah, he'll be wearing he'll probably grab the titan from
- 58:43Speaker 9: everybody and be holding that thing up. And he's been
- 58:45Speaker 9: talking Mariners the whole time.
- 58:50Speaker 4: All right, man, Hey, thanks, great to hear from you,
- 58:52Speaker 4: and we'll bug you again later in the world series
- 58:56Speaker 4: if it comes to it.
- 58:56Speaker 5: How about that, looking.
- 58:58Speaker 9: Forward to it, even meet you guys in person.
- 59:02Speaker 14: Let's do that.
- 59:03Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well we'll bug you, that's for sure.
- 59:06Speaker 4: You don't have to tell us twice. We'll annoy the
- 59:07Speaker 4: hell out of you once you're in town.
- 59:09Speaker 5: Thanks man, Appreciate you.
- 59:11Speaker 9: All right, Chuck, but appreciate you guys.

- 59:35Speaker 4: the old judge for the first time. But coming up
- 59:38Speaker 4: next on the radio program, it's the guy that I
- 59:41Speaker 4: hugged first after the Mariners clinched the A L d
- 59:46Speaker 4: S Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
- 59:59Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning to you, Ashley. Ryan's here, former Mariner
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: Bucket Jacobson. My name is Chuck Powell and joining us
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: now on the program. There's a grown man that I
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: hugged on the way out of t mobiles. You did
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: after the victory, And then I didn't even realize. I
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: got out to the street and I'm like, I don't know.
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: I know that Everett loves Seattle, and I know that
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: he likes the Mariners, but he did grow up a
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: Tiger fan. I hope I didn't hug Everett fits you
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: when he was in a sad, sad period of his
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: life coming down.
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: He was there a little bit. He had Tiger gear on.
- 1:00:34Speaker 9: Ah.
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: Oh, so sorry if my enthusiasm got all over your
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: Tiger gear, Everett, sorry about that.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: No, listen, I will say this right now. And I
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: just pulled lastly a second ago.
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: There was a part of me, a large part of me,
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: that when the Mariners won that game, I found myself.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: In a state of happiness.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if it was because I
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: was caught up and all the reguilda and whatnot. But honestly,
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: the Tigers losing wasn't as sad as as.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be. And I think it's because,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: you know, I go to fifteen twenty games a year.
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: My son is he called JP, Crawford, Julio and Cal
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: his best friends. Uh So it's you know, it's listen,
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: I I the Mariners. I now that I live here
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: in Seattle, the Mariners, I'm adopting them. They are becoming
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: my team and more and more whenever they play a
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: team from Detroit, I find that Detroit fandom waning a
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: little bit.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Now the Lions another story.
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: We're not with the Lions, Okay, will believe the Lions out.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Yeah, we Lions out of it. But you know, there
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: definitely is a bit of me that when the Mariners one,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I was.
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: Like, all right, we are still alive. And I felt
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: like a wee as opposed to a day So it
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: felt pretty good.
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: How incredible was that game, though, Friday? How incredible was
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: I had.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: Never been to a playoff baseball game before? So number
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: one I got the cross that off the bucket list,
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: and then number two to see it the way that
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: it ended, and hanging on every pitch and you know,
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: feeling the polls of of of all the fans around me.
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: I was out in the bleachers one ninety three, and
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: it was it was so much fun to be in
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: that atmosphere.
- 1:02:19Speaker 9: It was loud.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: My ears are still ringing from that day. I'm kind
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: of mad.
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: The beer sales got cut off in the seventh so
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: I had to go pretty much a whole game without
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: a beer, which I didn't.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: Like that very much.
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: But I don't even think about that.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: I don't think about that. Yeah, the day, but no,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: it was.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: It was a fucking It was a fun atmosphere.
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: Evert fits you was with us the voice of your
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: Seattle Cracking, And I just want to say before we
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: start diving into cracking, Bucky and I went to Detroit
- 1:02:44Speaker 4: for the first time, and we are not making this up. Fact,
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: the nicest people in any city in America, and it's
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: not even close. We were stunned by it, Everett. We
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: were stunned how nice everyone was.
- 1:02:59Speaker 5: It was incredible.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Listen.
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: Many it's called Midwestern nice for a reason, and everyone
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: thinks that Minnesota owns the crown, but anywhere in the
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: Midwest when someone asked, Hey, how you doing, they genuinely
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: want to have a ten to fifteen minute conversation on.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: How you're doing, how's your mom, how's your sister? Did
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: your dad surgery go?
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: Okay?
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: Weren't you up for a job last week? How did
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: that go? We genuinely care how you're feeling. So yeah, man,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Detroit is a great city. Don't let the news fool you. Great,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: it's a great town.
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: I'm from the midst too, and I'm telling you that
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: people from my hometown are a holes compared to those
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: from your hometown.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:03:36Speaker 7: I thought for the longest time like that you were
- 1:03:39Speaker 7: in an anomaly, right that, how is this guy so nice?
- 1:03:42Speaker 7: Everybody's in Detroit? And now I just realized you're just
- 1:03:46Speaker 7: running the mill Detroit.
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so it was wonderful.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: It was wonderful.
- 1:03:51Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about our hockey teams too, and oh
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: start this. Yeah, they're off to just a fabulous start
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: here under Lanelane.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: They are, and I think for a large part of
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: that is just due to the style of play and
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: at Lane is trying to establish here and you've got
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: players buying in and I mean outside of that first
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: period against against Anaheim on Thursday, you're seeing a very structured,
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: disciplined style of game. Yeah, they only scored the three
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: goals against Anaheim, and you know, you win two to
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: one in overtime to Vegas.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: For the offense probably maybe isn't where a lot of
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: folks would like.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: But defensively, structurally, this is a different team from what
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: we've seen in the past couple of years. And I've
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: talked to a number of players, both on the defensive
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: side and forwards, and they they love this style of play.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: They like the idea, you know, of that grinding style
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: that really just.
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: Sets them up for success. Because we've talked a lot
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: about this team. There isn't that star power. There isn't
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: that you know, big bonafide superstar. But what you have
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: is you twenty different role players, depth players, guys who
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: can work hard and when they're playing that style. As
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: we've seen, it's only been two games, so I understand
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: it's a very small sample size, but we've seen that
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: it has worked for them. And you know, I looked
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: at Al a couple of times in that Anaheim Gavid
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: in the Vegas game and I said, if this is
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: how they're going to play all year long, and if
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: they can find a way to maybe push that goals
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: for to closer to three and play three to one
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: games or three two games, I like this team's chance
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: is moving forward.
- 1:05:37Speaker 7: You use the word discipline there, and I mean I
- 1:05:40Speaker 7: think discipline is something that is is paramount to having
- 1:05:44Speaker 7: a good team period across the board. Dive into that
- 1:05:46Speaker 7: more like, what is it that Lambert's got them doing
- 1:05:48Speaker 7: or is it the leaders that have them out there
- 1:05:52Speaker 7: playing a discipline style hockey?
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: So I'll give you an example.
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: There were a couple of There were a couple of
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: times in the Anaheim and Vegas games where you could
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: tell that Seattle was at the end of a shift
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: and you know, maybe you've got three on two coming
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: through the neutral zone. You have a lane down the
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: side and you can easily rush into the zone, try
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: to get a couple of shots off and set your
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: offense up.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: But when you're at the end of a shift, your
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: legs are burning, you're tired.
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: Then you're gonna have to get back and that is
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: when you fall into problems where you can't skate as
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: well as you would like to do and now the
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: other team's got numbers going back the other way, and
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: you put your goalie in a that situation. Last couple
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: of games, the Kraken have been in that situation and
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: rather than just crash the zone, they get to the
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: red line, they dumped the puck in and they turn
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: off for a line change. And there were a lot
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: of times when you could see a three on two
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: rush developing and they said, nope, we know where we are.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: We'll dump the puck in and then we're gonna live
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: to fight another day. We saw that a little bit
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: in the preseason. I saw that a lot in the
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: last couple of games. So that's that discipline that I
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: I was talking about. Defensively, a lot of defensemen have
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: been trying to join in the rush. We've seen it
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: the first four years a lot.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: This is a very active decorps when.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: It comes to helping out, you know, in terms of
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: generating chances offensively. But the last couple of games you
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: started to see these guys stay at home a little
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: bit more, play a bit more responsibly, not worry so much.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: You don't have you know, montour or done below the
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: tops of the circles on the fore check as much
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: or trying to keep tucks in the corner.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: That's what I mean about discipline. It's about everyone.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: Knowing your role, staying in your particular role and letting
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: the play develop and not trying to force it in
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: our last minute.
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: Give me a thumbnail sketch of this Montreal team that
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: we start our road season with tonight.
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: Well, this isn't this isn't your your father's Montreal Canadians
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: the last you know, five ten years. I think you know,
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: they have a very good young cores and they just
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: wrapped up Lane Hudson, who was their star defenseman. They've
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: just wrapped him up for nine years. They've signed their
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: top eight young players through at least twenty thirty three,
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: so they're setting up to be, you know, a pretty
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: strong team moving forward.
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: Their problems are going to be in goal.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: You know, Sam Montembeau and Jacob bibsh are good goalies,
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: but they don't have that elite number one goalie. And
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: the Can put up eight goals against this team in
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: this building last year, almost about a year ago this
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: time last year. So they're a good young team kind
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: of in the similar vein as Anaheim, but a little
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: bit more experience, and I think for Seattle this is
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: gonna be a game where they're gonna need that discipline
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: structure because they do have a lot of young skill
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: and speed on their lineup.
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: All right, well, we will be listening for sure tonight
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: for a'clock Everett and al on the call from Montreal,
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: one of the true great organizations in all of the
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: National Hockey League.
- 1:08:59Speaker 5: All right, man, we will talk to you soon. How
- 1:09:02Speaker 5: long are you guys on the road?
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: For goodness sake, We're we're on the road until next
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: Thursday night, so the entire ALCS will be over by
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: the We could be in the World Series by the
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: time we get back.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Like that's how long this road trip is.
- 1:09:15Speaker 5: If there is a chance, you're in Toronto right for
- 1:09:18Speaker 5: game six, so.
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: Game five will be Friday, if we have a day
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: off on Friday, so game five if it gets to
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: a game five, which at this rate and you don't know,
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: but if there is a Game five, it'll be on Friday.
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: I've got my Mariners jersey and my hoodie ready to
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: go out to the bar, to the restaurant here in
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: in Toronto, so hopefully watch the Mariners fly the Pennant.
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: All right, all right, man, well have some fun on
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: the road. We'll talk to you real soon.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: All right, fella's stick here.
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: Everett fits you.
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: First road trip of the season, you know, Alan Everet'll
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: get a little wacky. Oh yeah, trip of the season,
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: especially dancing around cool cities like Montreal and Toronto and
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: the whatnot.
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: Just throwing loonies and tunies all over the pres.
- 1:10:02Speaker 8: Probably they get rain loonies and tunies.
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: Yeah, be careful with that.
- 1:10:06Speaker 4: It hurt YEA four o'clock start time tonight. Kraken and
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: Canadians getting it started as seattleoks to move to three
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: and zero on the year. All right, coming up next

- 1:10:26Speaker 12: It's just like the menu at Taco Time. You just
- 1:10:28Speaker 12: can't get enough.
- 1:10:29Speaker 6: You just can't get This is our weekly visit with
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: Rick Newheisel, brought to you buy Taco Time, not.
- 1:10:35Speaker 12: Those new Heidels. Used to be a moniker of mine.
- 1:10:38Speaker 15: I mean, just sell you.
- 1:10:39Speaker 6: Out now on your home for college football Saturdays. Here's
- 1:10:43Speaker 6: Natcho's new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: kJ R FM.
- 1:10:48Speaker 12: This is college football, and I want you to get
- 1:10:50Speaker 12: it all over yourself.
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: By the way, I saw how you spread some history
- 1:10:58Speaker 5: and some.
- 1:10:58Speaker 4: Love and the Apple Cup there on CBS. So I
- 1:11:02Speaker 4: hope you're spreading that same Mariner thing right now on
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: the set. I hope Aaron Taylor's getting an ear full
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: of Mariner baseball talk from you.
- 1:11:10Speaker 12: I am just amazed at the heat index of the
- 1:11:16Speaker 12: Seattle sports scene. I mean, the Seahawks are on fire,
- 1:11:20Speaker 12: the Dogs are on fire, the Mariners are going to
- 1:11:22Speaker 12: go to the World Series. It's too good to be true.
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: We're not going to pinch ourselves. We're just going to
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: keep riding it.
- 1:11:29Speaker 12: So I have to expected you guys to be in
- 1:11:33Speaker 12: Toronto today, but as you were in Detroit the last
- 1:11:36Speaker 12: time I spoke, but ride this thing, ride it and
- 1:11:41Speaker 12: find a way to capture the crown.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: What a thrill that would be.
- 1:11:44Speaker 4: I'd be amazing, all right, So you're going to have
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: to explain something to me, because how in the world
- 1:11:49Speaker 4: has Jerry Neuheisel been the story of the week in
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: college football two weeks in a row. I mean, coach,
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: I mean putting aside obviously, the family connection, the obvious
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: family can I've never seen a turnaround like this for
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: a football team in the middle of the year ever,
- 1:12:05Speaker 4: in the history of watching college football. What on earth
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: has your son du to none there in UCLA to
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: turn this thing around that there.
- 1:12:15Speaker 12: Listen, it's easy to sit there and say, oh, it's
- 1:12:18Speaker 12: all about Jerry. You got to give credit to Tim Skipper,
- 1:12:23Speaker 12: the head coach, who all of a sudden tried to
- 1:12:25Speaker 12: make it's fun again. You got to give credit to
- 1:12:29Speaker 12: Kevin Coyle, who literally two weeks ago was an analyst
- 1:12:32Speaker 12: at Syracuse. He comes in because he was with Tim
- 1:12:36Speaker 12: a year ago at Fresno. They come in and concoct
- 1:12:40Speaker 12: a defense that's working. And then Jerry, who'd been there
- 1:12:43Speaker 12: for six years, and if you think about it, he'd
- 1:12:46Speaker 12: coached the quarterbacks when he first got there. Then he
- 1:12:49Speaker 12: coached the wide receiver, so all the wide receivers that
- 1:12:52Speaker 12: are on the roster this year are all kids that
- 1:12:54Speaker 12: Jerry recruited. And then he's had the tight end room
- 1:12:58Speaker 12: this year, so he knows all the tight end so
- 1:13:00Speaker 12: he knows all these guys and he now he's getting
- 1:13:03Speaker 12: to coach Nico and coach some confidence back in Niko,
- 1:13:07Speaker 12: and all of a sudden it's starting to take hold.
- 1:13:10Speaker 12: There's some good players, they just were not necessarily organized.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: In a way that they needed to be.
- 1:13:16Speaker 12: And so you put all these guys working together, and
- 1:13:19Speaker 12: then you add that extra little thing called belief, and
- 1:13:23Speaker 12: something special can happen, and it's wonder it all take place.
- 1:13:28Speaker 12: Now it's going to get harder. It's Maryland this week,
- 1:13:31Speaker 12: and then they go on the road to a school
- 1:13:33Speaker 12: called Indiana. I don't know if you're familiar, but the
- 1:13:36Speaker 12: Hoosiers are playing big time college football.
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: Well, let's talk about Indiana. A huge win.
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: I mean, I mean Kurt Signetti was National Coach of
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: the Year last year. You don't normally win that award
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: two years in a row because your program can't possibly
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: go to another extraordinary level. But he might pull this
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: thing off. He might be National coach of the year
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: back to back years of what we're seeing out of
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: the real I had a front.
- 1:14:02Speaker 12: Row seat for the Count's job this last weekend there
- 1:14:05Speaker 12: in Eugene, and I call him to Count because he's
- 1:14:08Speaker 12: got the same suntan as Dracula. It is a remarkable
- 1:14:14Speaker 12: job of coaching, and yet it's just fundamental football. He
- 1:14:18Speaker 12: is the master of fundamental football. The defense did a
- 1:14:21Speaker 12: great job of keeping Oregon inside their edges. They set
- 1:14:25Speaker 12: edges and made spilled to their help, so there was
- 1:14:28Speaker 12: no real big plays save the one kind of confusion
- 1:14:32Speaker 12: in the back end that Dante more hit the touchdown
- 1:14:35Speaker 12: pass early. That was the one explosive play.
- 1:14:38Speaker 5: After that, they just.
- 1:14:39Speaker 12: Made him go ten eleven, twelve play drives. And usually
- 1:14:43Speaker 12: if you do that over the course of a game,
- 1:14:45Speaker 12: the offense will make a mistake and put themselves behind
- 1:14:48Speaker 12: the sticks and it's not sustainable. And that is exactly
- 1:14:51Speaker 12: what took place. And add to that Fernando Mendoza on
- 1:14:54Speaker 12: the offensive side, who has a howitzer for a thrown
- 1:14:58Speaker 12: arm and was able to taked all the outs that
- 1:15:01Speaker 12: were thrown and back shoulder throws that were available to him,
- 1:15:04Speaker 12: and he did it masterfully. So no accident.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: Eugene.
- 1:15:08Speaker 12: That was a really good football team on the road
- 1:15:10Speaker 12: getting that win, and it was the first time in
- 1:15:13Speaker 12: the history of Indiana football, who right now is the
- 1:15:16Speaker 12: losingest team in the history of the NCAA, more losses
- 1:15:19Speaker 12: than any other team. They that's their first win over
- 1:15:23Speaker 12: a top five team on the road. They had only
- 1:15:25Speaker 12: one other under their belt that was in nineteen sixty seven,
- 1:15:29Speaker 12: a home win against Purdue.
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: And before we get to the Huskies, I do want
- 1:15:35Speaker 4: to ask about one other coaching question for you, because, man,
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: when this season started, Penn State ranks number two in
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: the country. A lot of people believing that this was
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: the year if they're going to get it done, They're
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: going to get it done this year. They're going to
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: get over that hurdle and they're going to be the
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: Ohio State or the Michigan and have a shot at
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: the national championship. For US to not even be halfway
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: through the college football season and James Franklin out of
- 1:16:00Speaker 4: a job, has there been anything more surprising this year
- 1:16:03Speaker 4: in college football than that?
- 1:16:05Speaker 12: No, that's a free fall. That is an absolute freefall.
- 1:16:09Speaker 12: Tom Petty song is blaring in my ears right now.
- 1:16:12Speaker 12: I am sitting here thinking about what I said before
- 1:16:17Speaker 12: the season started about if not now, when given all
- 1:16:21Speaker 12: the people that the pieces that were coming back, Allen
- 1:16:24Speaker 12: and Singleton in the backfield, Aller is the quarterback. They
- 1:16:26Speaker 12: went and spent money to get Paynia and Hudson wide
- 1:16:30Speaker 12: receivers from sc and Syracuse respectively. They had all the
- 1:16:33Speaker 12: pieces and all the coaches were back. As a matter
- 1:16:36Speaker 12: of fact, they went and got the defending national champion
- 1:16:39Speaker 12: defensive coordinator, the first three million dollar assistant coach in Knowles,
- 1:16:45Speaker 12: to come and be the architect of the defense. There
- 1:16:48Speaker 12: was no reason for this, and they had the softest
- 1:16:50Speaker 12: of non conference schedules, but it went out like the
- 1:16:55Speaker 12: air out of a balloon. After that loss to Oregon
- 1:16:58Speaker 12: in double overtime, they go out and UCLA hands it
- 1:17:02Speaker 12: to him. It wasn't an accident. And then they get
- 1:17:04Speaker 12: beat by Northwestern, and I'm hearing that Adidas, who had
- 1:17:08Speaker 12: spent incredible amounts of money to take that school away
- 1:17:12Speaker 12: from Nike, we're part of the deal and they can't
- 1:17:15Speaker 12: watch this investment go downhill. So I think they put
- 1:17:19Speaker 12: up some money to handle the buyout and we're moving
- 1:17:22Speaker 12: on at Penn State, which means it's the most attractive
- 1:17:26Speaker 12: job out there. It's an amazing turn of events.
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, without a doubt.
- 1:17:31Speaker 7: Well, another amazing turn of events was you dub and
- 1:17:35Speaker 7: the way they came roaring back after kind of falling
- 1:17:38Speaker 7: behind a little bit this weekend against Rutgers. So, I mean,
- 1:17:40Speaker 7: how impressed with Demon Williams and just the Washington team
- 1:17:44Speaker 7: now sitting at five and one.
- 1:17:46Speaker 12: You guys remember me telling you after I went to
- 1:17:49Speaker 12: practice that I thought Demon Williams was a talented a
- 1:17:52Speaker 12: guys I've seen in recent memory. I watched him now.
- 1:17:57Speaker 12: Obviously he can run. He's a gifted little athlete that
- 1:18:00Speaker 12: can make people miss. And the Buckeyes were the best
- 1:18:03Speaker 12: at basically caging him and keeping him in the pocket
- 1:18:06Speaker 12: right because they have the wherewithal to do that. When
- 1:18:10Speaker 12: he gets loose, he's a menace, and he was a
- 1:18:14Speaker 12: menace to the Scarlet Knights the other night, to the
- 1:18:16Speaker 12: tune of one hundred and thirty six yards on the
- 1:18:19Speaker 12: ground ten plus per But he's also a gifted passer,
- 1:18:23Speaker 12: and that's what caught my attention when I was at practice.
- 1:18:27Speaker 12: I mean, the guy he can throw it from a
- 1:18:29Speaker 12: thousand of He would be the shortstop on a baseball team.
- 1:18:32Speaker 12: And he can go in the hole and throw the
- 1:18:34Speaker 12: strike to throw you out at first. And he can
- 1:18:36Speaker 12: go up the middle and then turn his body and
- 1:18:38Speaker 12: contort it to make the play at first as well,
- 1:18:40Speaker 12: and the ball's going to spend beautifully. That's who he
- 1:18:43Speaker 12: is and that's no accident that he put four hundred
- 1:18:47Speaker 12: yards up. Now, will it be harder against Michigan, Yes,
- 1:18:52Speaker 12: But when you start with we can't let him run,
- 1:18:55Speaker 12: you can imagine what else is available to Jed when
- 1:18:58Speaker 12: he's architecting and off. He is a absolute weapon and
- 1:19:02Speaker 12: then some And don't count him out of this Heisman race.
- 1:19:05Speaker 12: If the Huskies continue to.
- 1:19:07Speaker 4: Be hot, well, nobody's running away with it, that's for sure.
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: And that was very Heismany Friday night.
- 1:19:13Speaker 12: Very Heismany. I was a part of a quarterback performance
- 1:19:16Speaker 12: when Marcus ran for two hundred and three for three hundred,
- 1:19:20Speaker 12: this was every bit as entertaining and exceptional.
- 1:19:25Speaker 4: All Right, So Michigan, I mean, they don't look like
- 1:19:29Speaker 4: world beaters this year, but they are at home and
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: this is the stiffest challenge other than Ohio State that
- 1:19:36Speaker 4: this team's faced this year. They didn't get the Buckeyes,
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: they didn't get that done at home. I mean, what
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: kind of a chance do you give the dogs Saturday
- 1:19:45Speaker 4: in the Big House.
- 1:19:47Speaker 12: Well, I think the fact that Jed's coach there will
- 1:19:50Speaker 12: help because he'll kind of be able to talk to
- 1:19:53Speaker 12: the team about the mystique of the Big House.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: And all of that.
- 1:19:57Speaker 12: You know, it's not a loud place, because it's a
- 1:20:00Speaker 12: bowl in the place, you're going to be able to hear.
- 1:20:04Speaker 12: This is all going to come down to the wink
- 1:20:07Speaker 12: Martindale able to craft the same kind of plan that
- 1:20:10Speaker 12: Patricia did and.
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: Keep Demon's legs at bay.
- 1:20:14Speaker 12: And if that be the case, then it's all going
- 1:20:16Speaker 12: to come down to third down conversions. Because if the
- 1:20:21Speaker 12: Huskies can play on third down and play efficiently on
- 1:20:23Speaker 12: third down, they're better than Michigan on offense. That's a fact.
- 1:20:28Speaker 12: Michigan runs the ball. Sc was able to corral them
- 1:20:31Speaker 12: in the running game. That hadn't been the case with
- 1:20:34Speaker 12: the Trojans in the Lincoln Riley era that they were
- 1:20:37Speaker 12: able to and SC also ran for over two hundred
- 1:20:41Speaker 12: yards out rushed Michigan. And if Washington can do that
- 1:20:45Speaker 12: with both Demon and Joana Coleman, they just sets up
- 1:20:48Speaker 12: really well for the Dogs. I will not be shocked
- 1:20:51Speaker 12: with a I know they are underdog, but I will
- 1:20:54Speaker 12: not be shocked with the Husky victory.
- 1:20:57Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean Ruggers is not the same running
- 1:21:01Speaker 7: team that they typically were last year. You mentioned it
- 1:21:03Speaker 7: last week with the.
- 1:21:05Speaker 12: Yeah, they lost the non guy. Yeah, they kind of
- 1:21:08Speaker 12: leaning on calliate manis they threw the ball fifty times
- 1:21:11Speaker 12: in this game?
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dogs.
- 1:21:12Speaker 5: Yeah, And yet the Dogs to some degree stiffened up.
- 1:21:16Speaker 7: I mean, they still ended up getting a little over
- 1:21:18Speaker 7: one hundred yards, but it was not one of those
- 1:21:20Speaker 7: college running performances where you got Rayan over. So do
- 1:21:23Speaker 7: you feel like there's enough seeing in the pants of
- 1:21:25Speaker 7: this d line to slow down the Justice Haynes kid
- 1:21:28Speaker 7: from Michigan.
- 1:21:31Speaker 12: To me, that's always the answer when they take one
- 1:21:34Speaker 12: on the chin at Michigan is we've got to run
- 1:21:36Speaker 12: the ball. And that was their key when they went
- 1:21:39Speaker 12: to Nebraska and won. They had big runs and Justice
- 1:21:42Speaker 12: Haynes is a heck of a player. They've got a
- 1:21:44Speaker 12: couple of you know, Robbins to his batman. But the
- 1:21:49Speaker 12: bottom line is this is going to be the key,
- 1:21:53Speaker 12: and Jed will know this. They have to stop the
- 1:21:57Speaker 12: running game. And I would suspect if they're starting to,
- 1:22:01Speaker 12: you know, meet loggerheads in the running game, that Bryce Underwood,
- 1:22:05Speaker 12: their quarterback, will also incorporate its legs and it'll be
- 1:22:08Speaker 12: interesting if they add more of that to the equation.
- 1:22:12Speaker 12: When the Huskies get to town.
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: Jerry New Eiel's dad is with us here on Chucking
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: Buck in the Morning. His segment brought to you by
- 1:22:19Speaker 4: Taco Time every single week here on the Chucking Buck
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: Radio program. How about the Kougs. By the way, got
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: to give a little bit of love to the Kougs.
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: They scared the crud out of Ole Miss on Saturday.
- 1:22:33Speaker 4: They almost sent Lane Kiffin's dream season a reeling Saturday.
- 1:22:38Speaker 12: That was an awesome performance by Jimmy Rodgers Bunch. You know,
- 1:22:43Speaker 12: I think the Cougar program got deilt bad cards in
- 1:22:46Speaker 12: the current lot that they're in, but the way they're
- 1:22:48Speaker 12: fighting is is awesome. I think that ech House kid,
- 1:22:52Speaker 12: the quarterback Zebbi ech Houses Bunda watch and I wish
- 1:22:57Speaker 12: it would have happened. But they only got close. We know,
- 1:23:01Speaker 12: close doesn't count nless you're playing hand grenades or horseshoes.
- 1:23:05Speaker 12: But the bottom line is that that was a hell
- 1:23:08Speaker 12: of an effort, hell of an effort way to go
- 1:23:10Speaker 12: cod Well.
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: It was a classic trap game scenario that almost caught
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: All Miss. Because they're looking forward to Georgia the following week,
- 1:23:18Speaker 4: So how do they bounce back from that near loss
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: to actually give an a effort that they'll require to
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: beat the Bulldogs.
- 1:23:28Speaker 12: You know, they're an underdog at Georgia, but I've not
- 1:23:31Speaker 12: seen Georgia more vulnerable than they are this year. And
- 1:23:33Speaker 12: this is a product of the transfer portal and the resources.
- 1:23:38Speaker 12: You know, it used to be that Kirby learned from
- 1:23:41Speaker 12: Nick Saban, and Nick Saban would stockpil defensive line talent,
- 1:23:44Speaker 12: just stockpilot. I went to a practice and saw thirteen guys,
- 1:23:48Speaker 12: and I said to the guy next to me, if
- 1:23:50Speaker 12: I had two of them, I'd still be coaching just
- 1:23:52Speaker 12: two of those guys. And that's way Georgia was when
- 1:23:55Speaker 12: they won those back to back titles. Now those guys
- 1:23:58Speaker 12: are taking you know, lucrative deals to go elsewhere, and
- 1:24:02Speaker 12: they don't have the same kind of numbers, So this
- 1:24:05Speaker 12: is more of a fair fight. I think Ole Miss
- 1:24:07Speaker 12: beating Georgia in Oxford last year was not an accident.
- 1:24:12Speaker 12: So I think this is a last possession type of game.
- 1:24:16Speaker 12: And this Trinidad Chambliss, the kid that was at Farris
- 1:24:19Speaker 12: State last year as a Division two quarterback, is a
- 1:24:23Speaker 12: college football story and then some. So I got to
- 1:24:26Speaker 12: cut my fingers crossed that Kippen and company get it
- 1:24:29Speaker 12: done in Athens.
- 1:24:30Speaker 4: Well Vegas for whatever reason, started off with an opening
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: line of Alabama destroying Tennessee by like two touchdowns. I
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: think Caitlin de Bores righted the ship to some degree,
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: but he's not operating. Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson tied just yet.
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: I don't know if they demolish many opponents, especially of
- 1:24:50Speaker 4: the eleventh ranked team in the country. Any idea why
- 1:24:53Speaker 4: that was such a lopsided, you know, opening line.
- 1:24:57Speaker 12: I don't have any idea unless there's some injuries that
- 1:25:00Speaker 12: I'm not aware of. The bottom line here is Ty Simpson,
- 1:25:04Speaker 12: the Alabama quarterback, is really good, really playing well. And
- 1:25:08Speaker 12: we all know how good that duo of de Boor
- 1:25:13Speaker 12: and grub are in terms of teaching and giving them
- 1:25:17Speaker 12: some concepts that are fail safe. They've done a nice job.
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: So Simpson is.
- 1:25:22Speaker 12: Having fun, and they've got three really good receivers, the
- 1:25:25Speaker 12: Horton kid that they got from Miami, along with Ryan Williams,
- 1:25:29Speaker 12: who was this freshman sensation, and then a Husky fans
- 1:25:31Speaker 12: will remember Jeremy Bernard. Those three guys are all having
- 1:25:35Speaker 12: a great year. So Alabama is ready to play, but
- 1:25:39Speaker 12: they're not fantastic defensively. And so what Alabama is now
- 1:25:44Speaker 12: doing is they're adding time of possession to the equation.
- 1:25:47Speaker 12: Both the last two wins over Vanderbilt and then last
- 1:25:50Speaker 12: week against Missouri were thirty seven minutes. That's a weapon.
- 1:25:54Speaker 12: So Tennessee is going to have to be able to
- 1:25:56Speaker 12: run the ball. Most teams have been able to do
- 1:25:58Speaker 12: that against Alabama. If Tennessee can run the ball, this Aguilar,
- 1:26:03Speaker 12: the kid that came from Ucla when Nico came to
- 1:26:07Speaker 12: came from Tennessee to Ucla. He ended up going to Tennessee.
- 1:26:11Speaker 12: He's been terrific and they got this receiver. I think
- 1:26:13Speaker 12: he's six' Five Chris. Brazzle that is a weapon in
- 1:26:18Speaker 12: N SO i think that game's a fourth quarter game
- 1:26:21Speaker 12: just because it almost always, is especially Since hypel's been
- 1:26:26Speaker 12: mining the store there In.
- 1:26:27Speaker 4: Knoxville utah has destroyed every team they face Except Texas,
- 1:26:30Speaker 4: tech who destroyed.
- 1:26:31Speaker 5: Them so how good Is Texas?
- 1:26:33Speaker 4: Tech BUT i really believe in This utah, team and
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: yet they're FACING theyu in The Holy.
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: War who wins?
- 1:26:39Speaker 12: It, well both of them have running. QUARTERBACKS i think
- 1:26:43Speaker 12: it's going to be the most entertaining game of the.
- 1:26:46Speaker 12: Weekend Because Bear bachmeier this freshman who wears number forty
- 1:26:50Speaker 12: seven at quarterback has been a blast to. Watch and this,
- 1:26:54Speaker 12: Kid Devin, dampier who was a thousand yard rusher as
- 1:26:57Speaker 12: well as a accomplished passer For New. Mexico they have
- 1:27:01Speaker 12: borrowed this new wave of the future where you go
- 1:27:04Speaker 12: get the coach and the quarterback to come to your.
- 1:27:06Speaker 12: Place so both those guys came From New, Mexico Jason
- 1:27:09Speaker 12: beck And, dampier and they're having great. Success the one,
- 1:27:13Speaker 12: loss as you, mentioned THE tech was When dampier was
- 1:27:16Speaker 12: a little nicked. Up so if he's running, AROUND i
- 1:27:19Speaker 12: think we're in for a. Treat i'm going to Take
- 1:27:21Speaker 12: utah on the, game BUT i wouldn't be surprised with any.
- 1:27:24Speaker 4: Outcome All, Right, WELL i think every right thinking person
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: hates US sc And Notre.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: Dame, right.
- 1:27:34Speaker 4: But it's a RIVALRY i don't ever want to see go, anywhere,
- 1:27:38Speaker 4: Coach so they're actually talking about breaking this thing.
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: Up we might have to savor these.
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: MATCHUPS i, mean it's not the time of the year
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: it's supposed to be, at but it's still one of
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: our great.
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: Rivalries who wins, It.
- 1:27:52Speaker 12: I'm going to go with The trojans the fact that
- 1:27:54Speaker 12: they ran the ball for over two hundred yards Against
- 1:27:57Speaker 12: michigan says they can go up against the big boys.
- 1:28:00Speaker 12: Up miami ran the ball effectively Against Notre dame in
- 1:28:03Speaker 12: that opening. Game they Just Notre dame just lost their.
- 1:28:06Speaker 12: Center that'll be a blow to. Them i'm going to
- 1:28:10Speaker 12: take The, trojans assuming that they can be stout against
- 1:28:14Speaker 12: the run and. Not let you know That Notre dame
- 1:28:18Speaker 12: offense just kind of dominate the. Thing they've got a
- 1:28:20Speaker 12: couple of really dynamic running. Backs But i'm going to
- 1:28:23Speaker 12: take The. Trojans This Makhai, lemon by the, way if
- 1:28:25Speaker 12: you've not watched, them he's the receiver pres he leads
- 1:28:28Speaker 12: the big. Ten He's Pooka nakoupa the.
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: Second he's.

- 1:31:52Speaker 5: Man all, Right so here we. Go number.
- 1:31:55Speaker 4: One Hooray polanco as the game WINNING rbi in three
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: state playoff, games but analytics community dismisses the notion of
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: a skill for clutch.
- 1:32:04Speaker 5: Hitting So ryan is or hey clutch or?
- 1:32:07Speaker 17: Not, yeah one hundred percent, This thank, goodness analytics left
- 1:32:11Speaker 17: something to be determined by the naked, eye because OTHERWISE
- 1:32:14Speaker 17: us baseball players would have nothing left to do with the.
- 1:32:17Speaker 17: Computers and THEN i can't say that, word but the
- 1:32:19Speaker 17: computers would take over all of our jobs and responsibilities
- 1:32:21Speaker 17: in this.
- 1:32:22Speaker 5: Space but, yeah he's.
- 1:32:23Speaker 17: Clutch he's showcasing, it he's he's commanding strikes, one he's
- 1:32:26Speaker 17: executing when the moment's the.
- 1:32:27Speaker 4: Biggest all, RIGHT i just want to get you guys
- 1:32:30Speaker 4: fired up BECAUSE i agree with, You But i'm gonna say.
- 1:32:33Speaker 5: No analytics shut then on gavel gal With, gable shut your.
- 1:32:37Speaker 7: Mouth you do not preface some stupid comment like that like,
- 1:32:41Speaker 7: Oh i'm just gonna get the judge and heally pissed. Off,
- 1:32:44Speaker 7: no do that, again you'll be held in. Contempt it's
- 1:32:47Speaker 7: without a doubt that there's a clutch. FACTOR i don't
- 1:32:50Speaker 7: even understand how you take that stat out of the whole.
- 1:32:53Speaker 7: Thing it's because you can't quantify, it because not everybody
- 1:32:56Speaker 7: gets his equal. AMOUNT i don't care if you get
- 1:32:58Speaker 7: the equal. Amount if you're hitting, four that's because your
- 1:33:01Speaker 7: coach thinks you're good at driving guys. In if you're hitting, ninth,
- 1:33:04Speaker 7: yeah can you turn the line up?
- 1:33:06Speaker 4: Over?
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: Please can you have a tough Ab that's where you're.
- 1:33:08Speaker 7: At and luckily we have war Eight polunco because he
- 1:33:12Speaker 7: is proving that he is about as clutch as you can.
- 1:33:13Speaker 4: Get oh that's pretty. Determined gavel slam right, there you
- 1:33:16Speaker 4: damn right all?
- 1:33:17Speaker 5: Right second, One.
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: Ryan at this, Point Brian wu just shouldn't start a
- 1:33:21Speaker 4: game in the.
- 1:33:22Speaker 17: Series how dare you say that out? Loud Brian wu
- 1:33:26Speaker 17: is The. Savior he will. Start if it's not this,
- 1:33:29Speaker 17: series it'll be game one of The World. Series Brian
- 1:33:31Speaker 17: wu is a. Saint and you don't say anything other.
- 1:33:35Speaker 17: Argument i'm gonna say.
- 1:33:36Speaker 4: THIS i, mean if they give the ball To Bryce
- 1:33:38Speaker 4: miller On game, FIVE i don't think anybody could be
- 1:33:40Speaker 4: upset by. THAT i don't think that anybody should be
- 1:33:42Speaker 4: worried about. THAT i do, believe, though we've got to
- 1:33:46Speaker 4: Test brian at some point before before you potentially reach
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: A World. Series AND i don't think we can beat
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: The dodgers Without brian wu starting and performing well in
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: a game or. Two So i'm gonna SAY i need
- 1:33:59Speaker 4: to see him Stow Cavel. CAVELL i want to see
- 1:34:02Speaker 4: him start definitely before The World. Series But i'm not
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: worried about him. Starting it's not a matter Of, Okay
- 1:34:08Speaker 4: i'm if he's ready to come. Back i'm Bumping Bryce.
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: Miller at this, point you're STILL i mean you somewhat
- 1:34:14Speaker 7: have recovered from the fifteen inning game in the long.
- 1:34:17Speaker 7: FIVE i mean you basically are back to where everybody's
- 1:34:19Speaker 7: gonna have their. Rest BUT i don't think there's anything
- 1:34:21Speaker 7: wrong with just running one guy out there after. Another
- 1:34:24Speaker 7: if this thing goes to game, FIVE i think he's
- 1:34:27Speaker 7: going to be ready to rock and. Roll he threw
- 1:34:28Speaker 7: a bullpen or some some live abs to some guys.
- 1:34:31Speaker 7: YESTERDAY i think he's gonna be ready to rock and
- 1:34:34Speaker 7: roll On. Friday AND i think they run him out
- 1:34:36Speaker 7: there On. Friday that's gonna be a nice situation where
- 1:34:38Speaker 7: you're gonna get to see and it's not necessarily you're
- 1:34:40Speaker 7: running him out there in a game seven necessarily where
- 1:34:44Speaker 7: you're not one hundred percent. Sure now he's going to
- 1:34:46Speaker 7: react after having missing some time can't do.
- 1:34:48Speaker 5: That can't do, that all?
- 1:34:50Speaker 17: Right next, ONE i would love to see him open
- 1:34:52Speaker 17: with like a two winning. Start let him go through
- 1:34:54Speaker 17: his normal routine and then Have Bryce miller piggyback off of,
- 1:34:57Speaker 17: him LIKE i would love to See. Brian we'll get
- 1:34:58Speaker 17: that opportunity depending on the series shaken.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: OUT i like. THAT i like.
- 1:35:01Speaker 5: That not a bad, idea. Ma'am you already had stated your, case,
- 1:35:05Speaker 5: sir judge had already made his.
- 1:35:07Speaker 17: Declaration is, Okay i'll take my slap on the hand he's,
- 1:35:12Speaker 17: dead just to make a great.
- 1:35:13Speaker 5: Point, yeah it was a great, point by the, way all.
- 1:35:17Speaker 5: Right next.
- 1:35:17Speaker 4: ONE i don't understand all the. Surprise The Blue jays
- 1:35:21Speaker 4: aren't better than The mariners at.
- 1:35:22Speaker 5: Anything disagree with.
- 1:35:26Speaker 17: That they strike out a heck of a lot less
- 1:35:27Speaker 17: than our, Guys But i'm not surprised because these are
- 1:35:30Speaker 17: two high quality. Teams WHAT i am surprised, about, though
- 1:35:33Speaker 17: is how much emotion went into The Blue Jays yankee.
- 1:35:36Speaker 17: Series AND i feel like there was almost a massive
- 1:35:39Speaker 17: celebration of The yankees lose and everything that was publicized
- 1:35:42Speaker 17: in the, media that they didn't have that same undertone
- 1:35:45Speaker 17: of tenacity and just eagerness to want to embarrass The.
- 1:35:48Speaker 17: Mariners The mariners almost came in here as underdogs because
- 1:35:51Speaker 17: yes they're the lower ranked, seed but everyone anticipated they're
- 1:35:54Speaker 17: going to be, exhausted their bullpens, dead they used three starting.
- 1:35:57Speaker 17: Pitchers they were the, underdogs and they're now showcasing the
- 1:36:00Speaker 17: ability of doubt me, please because we got plenty of.
- 1:36:02Speaker 14: Depth in this roster pitching and.
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: HITTING i think they've got the better starting, rotation the better,
- 1:36:06Speaker 4: bullpen and the better. LINEUP i, MEAN i don't get
- 1:36:10Speaker 4: the surprise out. THERE i think The Blue jays might
- 1:36:12Speaker 4: have a better. Defense Hem andez can pick it at
- 1:36:14Speaker 4: short and Var show's a goal, glover And guerrero actually
- 1:36:18Speaker 4: has won A Gold, glove and Apparently Alejandro kirk's gonna
- 1:36:20Speaker 4: win the goal, glove so they can pick it there.
- 1:36:22Speaker 4: Defensively but, Man i'll take pitching and hitting over a
- 1:36:27Speaker 4: team having better defense than.
- 1:36:28Speaker 5: Me, Gavel, gavel we're a better team than they.
- 1:36:32Speaker 7: ARE i think there might be some things where they
- 1:36:36Speaker 7: can you, know the fact that they do put the
- 1:36:38Speaker 7: ball in play a little bit. MORE i think Without
- 1:36:40Speaker 7: Boba schett you most certainly have a better. Lineup even with,
- 1:36:43Speaker 7: HIM i think you got a better, lineup BUT i
- 1:36:45Speaker 7: don't think that's a. Contest the starting, rotation no doubt about.
- 1:36:48Speaker 7: It and when it comes down to, BULLPEN i think
- 1:36:50Speaker 7: that we're going to have a better. BULLPEN i do
- 1:36:53Speaker 7: think that there's this is not going to be a.
- 1:36:55Speaker 7: Walkover you're up to, Zero but that's a really good.
- 1:36:57Speaker 7: Team that's a team that finished with the most wins
- 1:36:59Speaker 7: of any in The American. LEAGUE i don't think you
- 1:37:01Speaker 7: can snooze on this squad because on any given, night
- 1:37:04Speaker 7: these guys can come out and beat.
- 1:37:05Speaker 4: You, yeah, yeah that's, yeah there's no doubt final, one
- 1:37:10Speaker 4: at least for the old judge without need to see
- 1:37:14Speaker 4: any of. Them every member Of bucky's billiards team In
- 1:37:18Speaker 4: North bend has a way more athletic physique Than Alejandro.
- 1:37:21Speaker 5: Kirk, hey let's go. MET i don't think. SO i
- 1:37:32Speaker 5: think is A gavel.
- 1:37:35Speaker 7: Gabble you're saying you think there's somebody on my pool
- 1:37:38Speaker 7: league team that looks worse Than Alejandro.
- 1:37:40Speaker 14: Kirk, yeah that boy can swing, it that boy can take.

- 1:37:59Speaker 7: there he is a am good baseball. Players there's a
- 1:38:01Speaker 7: reason we they call us baseball, players are not. Athletes
- 1:38:04Speaker 7: it's because of people like. Him you, said athletic. Build
- 1:38:08Speaker 7: an athlete is the way they, move not the way they.
- 1:38:10Speaker 17: Look exo, Facto Alejandro kirk is a better athlete than

- 1:38:14Speaker 5: Team, no, no, no, no no.
- 1:38:17Speaker 14: No bring the whole building a lot. Longer kirks run
- 1:38:20Speaker 14: circles around.
- 1:38:21Speaker 7: Him he is not running anywhere you see. Him he
- 1:38:23Speaker 7: can barely get out of a squad.
- 1:38:27Speaker 14: A ladder. Drilled that boy's got some quick feet under
- 1:38:30Speaker 14: that big. Box because he.
- 1:38:31Speaker 5: Can't pick his knees up higher than two. Inches you
- 1:38:33Speaker 5: need to.
- 1:38:34Speaker 14: Running running really. Fast he just hits the ball over the.
- 1:38:36Speaker 5: Fence if he had to run, hurdles you'd have to
- 1:38:38Speaker 5: go under.
