• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Roxy, Hello, how many trips is that by the way
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to Seattle for you now in the last five months?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what is it? I had three cracking
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: games right and the Mariners this past weekend, and then
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you got to go back to last October when I
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: did the Mariners Tiger Series and I was back and
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: forth between Seattle and Detroit. So I've seen my fillow
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: of the Pacific northwest of downtown Seattle recently?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Are you taking rent like somewhere in Ballard or even
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: out in Bellevue and just kind of just you know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: getting past the whole, you know, charade here of visiting
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: whereas more as like you're just now like staying from
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: time to time.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I just want to shack up in PJ Carless. He
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: just got a view of the water. That's how you live.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So I like in the Queen Anne district, So I
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: want to like, just like piggyback up what Pj's got
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: going on? Then?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: How sweet baby? In Queen Anne. That's how you live.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Roxy.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: How do you read Team Mobile, by the way versus
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: other ballparks that you've been going to nationally?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Oh it's great. It's so easy for us to work
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in the booster are great, the sidelines are great, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere is fantastic. And look, it's hard to beat
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the electricity you felt last October when the playoffs were there.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: But even Sunday night. The Mariners aren't playing great right now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: but it's still a fun place to come to a game.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: The ballpark is well maintained and well kept, and it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a great fan base, and it's always a fun place
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to come to a game because just of how great
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it is to be around that ballpark.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Well, so it feels kind of like miles away maybe
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as far as how the feelings have been going through
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: everyone versus say back in October, because as of right
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: now a third place in the American League West, but
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: they are still two games back, which is crazy to consider.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So it's a glass half empty versus a glass half
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: full approach. But you saw this team recently with all
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the injuries but yet some underachievement. Bryce Miller admitted, so
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about a couple of ninths ago. I mean, what's your
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: view on this baseball team right now? From twenty thousand
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: feet as we're getting closer and closer into June and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in just a bit.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you're about a quarter the way in, and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: good news mic for the Mariners, and basically the entire
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: aos is nobody's running away with a division. Right You
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: have the Artists formerly known as the Oakland Athletics on top,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and they're the only team that's above five hundred in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the league and they're just a game over in the division.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And the crazy thing is about the as is they
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: have a negative run differential. Yeah, and yet they're in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: first place. And you have Texas and Seattle are right
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: behind them, and both teams are in the positive as
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: far as the run differential goes. Yet they're below five
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: hundred right now. And as this season plays out, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: fully expected Mariners to get it together. I mean, Kyl
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Rawley on your injured list right now doesn't help. Some
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of the other bumps and bruises they're dealing with have
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: made it challenging. But I look at them like they're
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the team to be, even though right now they're sitting
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in third. Just not you know, you can base it
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: on what they did last season, but the talent level
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: there and that look, they're going to get it together.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: This is a team that might be going through a funk,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: right now some young guys getting a taste, like Cole Young,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: for example. But when you look at the back of
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the baseball card, the guys like Julio Rodriguez and Josh
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Naylor and now Cal Rowley with a sixty home run
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: season last year and Randy Rose Arena. Yeah, they're gonna
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: hit and they're gonna drive in some runs and the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: rotation is going to find its form. I'm not worried
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: about the Mariners, especially with nobody setting the world on
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: fire in the ALS.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, Houston's basically on their last legs as far
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as this window right now, and we're hearing the word
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: rebuild maybe entering the conversation at this point. But how
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: real is Texas also as of right now.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: You think I like their team, luck what they've got.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: To me, they're the biggest competitor to Seattle and division.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I know the eighth lead the division right now, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I just I see what Texas has with the acquisition
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of Nemo. Although it was hard to get rid of Marcus,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Simeon and Seegers on the injured list right now for them,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: but they're to me, the stiffest competition. You mentioned Houston.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I had them a couple of weeks ago, Mike, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: they're a shell of what they used to be. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the injuries you want. Seattle's dealing with a lot, but
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's dealing with the injuries that the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Tigers and the and the Astors are dealing with the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: American League, because it's an all star team that's on
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the injured list right now. And look, Carlos Corey is
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: not coming back, he's out for the year. That's a
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: team that's really struggling in the turnover they lose from
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: er Valdez, Alex Bregman's left recently, Tucker's left recently. It's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a completely new looking team that they have turned over already.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I just don't see it with Houston this year that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: they're playing catch up and they've got some significant holes
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: where I don't see as many issues with the Mariners
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: of the Rangers, even with the struggles though two those
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: two teams have had to start the year.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Roxy Bernstein joining us right now on the Beacon Plumbing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Hotlining and the Mariners up next taking on the Kansas
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: City Royals, coming off of two wins out of three
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: against the White Sox. Roxy, you mentioned Cal Rawley, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I think for anyone's it's unfair to ask sixty home
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: runs again out of him and what was just a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: monstrous historic season last year. But I mean, given the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: fact that he's been hurt as well too, do you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: think it was unfair to even expect cal Rawley to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: hit between forty two fifty homers this year.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Potentially? But you know he's shown the power over the years.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Now everything fell in place for him. It was like
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the perfect storm last year. Everything was right right, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: he would get maybe one or two pitches to hit
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a game, and he'd hit it out when he got it,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't missing those pitches for the most part.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That doesn't happen every year. And look, is he a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: sixty home run guy year in You're out?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: No?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Is he a twenty home run guy year in You're out?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: No?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: But he's somewhere in between, right, is forty two high
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of and number thirty five more realistic? That's where I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: would expect rally to be. I don't want to say
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that sixty was an aberration or an anomaly, because we all
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: saw what happened and how much of a threat he
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: was every at bat, especially down the stretch for Seattle
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: last year. But he really announced his presence on the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: national stage and wasn't just Okay, this nice catcher for
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the Mariners doing a really good job and helping them win.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He became a force. He was an All Star and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: he became a household name. And it's hard to follow
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: that up, and there's pressure that comes with the success
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that you had a year ago. But he's somewhere in between.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He is a legitimate, I think, all Star, a perennial
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: All Star for years to come because of all the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: things he can do. It's not just a power hitting mike.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He's a good receiver. He is a good game caller
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: back there, and that's the other thing I think that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: gets overshadowed and overlooked because people paid so much attention
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to the home runs, that he is a really good
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: defensive catcher.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Colt Emerson's also up roxy. You had a chance to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: call that game when he basically made a jet airliner run,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: so to speak, up the freeway from Tacoma into Seattle
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in time for that Sunday game. With Colt Emerson up here,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that brings JP Crawford into the conversation. I mean his
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: play of metrics suggests he might be the worst defensive
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: shortstop in baseball at this point. But what's your first
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: thought when you consider the Mariners are toying with him
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and JP even saying I'll do this to say I'll
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: move off a shortstop and then look at playing third base.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: The one thing with Emerson, Mike is if he's here
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: with the big team, he's got to play every day.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: You don't want him sitting. And that's the way his
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: game will grow and develop is by playing, getting at bats,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and I think that's what he needs. Where some teams,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: for example, the San Francisco Giants, for their hot prospect
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: right now, Bryce Eldridge, they're not playing him every day.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: They brought him up from TRIPLEA. He's getting about three
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: or four starts a week. That's not the way to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: handle a young potential star or young potential prospect that
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you view in high regard. And not just the Mariners
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: regard Emerson, but the whole Major League Baseball scouting bureau
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: thinks so highly of him. He's got to play every
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: day and not necessarily have to be shortstop. That maybe
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: comes in time because Crawford's there. JP Crawford's been a
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: huge leader for this team, a solid fixture in that clubhouse.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He relates to all his teammates, he holds his significant
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: presence with the Mariners. It's not just an easy move.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You're going to establish Emerson, you say, even though his
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: future may be a shortstop, now's not the time. This
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: is still JP Crawford's job and Emerson. Keep in mind, Mike,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: he's just twenty years old. Let this kid develop and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: if he's not ready for the big league, send it
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: back down it Takomas, Let him play and let him
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: get at bats down there, and at some point, maybe
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: later in the year. You helped this team and he
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: was brought up an emergency basis because they needed another
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: body with another injury that popped up. So you play
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: him for the time being, and when everything gets situated again,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: maybe you send him back down so he can play
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, people tend to forget that it's hard enough
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to break into the major leagues trying it when you're
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: twenty years of age, and I mean, the guy basically
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: can't have a beer shower. Brian wo said out of me,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just have to have a frescot at this point, but
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that's the world that cold Emerson lives in right now.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Another role that the Mariners are living in right now
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is this pitching staff situation. Roxy of course and me
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the lynchpin of their success. Logan Gilbert,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: how he performs, George Kirby, Brian wu Bryce Miller is healthy.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But now you have a six man rotation setup which
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: is now morphed into the pboard around here, the piggyback situation.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I was in the press box for this and it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: looked good until it didn't look good at any nine
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and they bring Louis Castillo back out there. Two base
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: runners get on. Dan Wilson tries to pull him. The
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: umpire says, no, you can't, because Pete Woodward just went
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: out there to talk to him, and so they had
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to wait. That brought on a big mess of an
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: optic situation. Munios comes in, blows the save game over
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and they may go back to this once again. So
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you've got a guy in Bryce Miller, who looked more
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: locked in than Fort Knox in his second game back
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: from injury against the White Sox. You got a guy
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in Louis Castillo, the sage veteran who this clubouse just
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: adores him. But now they're trying to find a way
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to make all this fit with six guys who can
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: legitimately start. So where does your mind go with how
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: they make this work with Bryce Miller and Louis Castio
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in a minor league piggybacker as I call a project
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: oinc situation.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Well, look, Dan Wilson and the Mariners are in a
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: good spot in terms of it's an embarrassment of it's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: better to have one too many starters than one few
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: too many starters. And that's the way this team is built. Yes, okay,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: you have Julio Rodriguez, a dynamic centerfielder, and Cal Rawley
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: hits home runs, and you got Josh Naylor last year
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: in that trade to help give a boost to the offense.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: But the Mariners are going to win with pitching and defense,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and that's the hallmark I think of this team and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the way the ballpark plays as well. And you find
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a way for it to work. If you need to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: go to a sixth man, you do it. I get it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Somebody's not going to be happy if that's the case,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: because they want the ball every fifth day and you'll
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: figure something out. It's strange, Mike, Baseball has a way
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of sorting itself out. Things happen along the way, injuries,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the need for another pitcher. The baseball gods have this
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: thing figured out, and at some point that will shake
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: itself out and make it easy for the Mariners to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: get this situation alleviated. Right, Okay, six starters, Well, we'll
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: go five for the time being made somebody's a long
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: man all of a sudden, Okay, now there's a need
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: for another starter, and it just so happens you're in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the right position for it. And I think that I'd
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: rather be in the Mariner situation than another team that's
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: searching for starters. And like the Tigers have the bullpen
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: games because they don't have enough starting pitching.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And Detroit's also coming up here on this schedule, as
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the Royals immediately up next, they had been struggling and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: falling out of contention, though Bobby wit Junior is always
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a problem. And then the Athletics after that roxy you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: mentioned in Sacramento, they had been prone to giving up
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the home run ball, and yet the A's are still
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: hanging around right now despite that run differential but is
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it too early to guess you think how many wins
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: will take the AL West this season?
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, look, if you want to play, guestimate,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: if you you feel comfortable if you got to ninety
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: right in this division. Look, I'm not necessarily going to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: call it the Pillow Fight. Was the Pacific Division in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the NHL that everybody else was labeling it as that
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Vegas ended up winning, But right now it's it's the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: whole American League. When you look at it, it's a
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: little bit better recently, but you only have five teams
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: in the ALE that are above five hundred. You go
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: back to last weekend. At one point there was only
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: three in Oakland, sorry the A's and then you know
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: all I will believe me. I'll keep saying over having
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: having worked for that organization, but there was at one
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: point there was only three teams in the ALE that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: were above five hundred. Now you have five. But in
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the AL West it's going to be this height all
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the way. I don't see any separation. The only team
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to me that can really separate itself, I think is
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Seattle if they get hot because of that pitching and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: when the offense clicks. They are the best team. It's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: just a matter of time. When's it going to happen?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Ay Roxy, Finally we've crossed pass. Of course, a lot
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: on the na shell side of things, Colorado, Vegas, Montreal
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: or Carolina. Who wins the Cup.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see Carolina win it, to be honest
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: with you. Let's get some new blood, like I wouldn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: object to Montreal winning. I know Canada's been thirsty for
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a Cup for a long long time, but let somebody
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: else win it, right. We've see the Ads win a
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: few recently, Vegas has won, and now Vegas is for
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of people's taken on the Maniker, the Moniker
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the most hated team in the NHL. I like Rod
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Brindamore and he's always been awesome for us to deal with.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of pulling in that regard for Carolina.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Let them win it. They've been so good in the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: playoffs so far. I'm just worried this long layoff, how
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: they're going to react. And look, they're gonna be fresh,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be ready to go, but they're gonna have
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: some rush too. They're gonna have to figure out.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: In Game one against the Canadians last Montreal. Stanley Cup
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: came back in nineteen ninety three when I was at
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: school in one level. You, I believe, were in school
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: at a different level. And I think we all remember
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: how she Gas was back then, right.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you if you were alive yet.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I think I think barely, like barely voice cracking at
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that point, the voice was barely cracking.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a long time for Canada, and we
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: know how close the oilers have gotten recently.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't ask them.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Don't ask them, and don't bring up and don't bring
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: up Martey mccor either to kings Fan.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Oh no, that that still is a sore point. I think,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: even with two Stanley Cups in their back pocket. Oh
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Gray stuff is always Roxy. Thank you very much, ma'am.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: You got anytime, all right?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Roxy Bernstein joining us once again on the beacon plumbing
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: hot line of voice on the MLB side for ESPN
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Radio time to time, also has NHL on ESPN Matters
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: from the television side. I mean, I'm with it before
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we go to break, Chris, this is gonna be a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: situation of if I mean this whole thing's up for grabs.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: A schedule is laying out as flat as you can
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: right now. And Bryce Miller said it himself two nights ago. Oh,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it is within themselves to get back on the tracks
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and get to five or ten games up. It is
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: not a performance issue. Sometimes it can be an execution issue.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It's an injury issue sometimes. But again, this I think
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: was a wake up call where again everything is out
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: there for the taking.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: So what do the man has gotta do? They gotta
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: take it. Then enough is enough. They are capable, they
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: have the roster, they have the pitching. Just execute. Go
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: play ball, play ball. Let's do that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I love, I love. I love the inflection by the way.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of my kids game last weekend travel ball.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: We had.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: We had, we had a numpire who gave a good
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: one just like you did.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Can you do it?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: No, I've got too much coffee. I think I think
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of recovering on some sleep deprivations in the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: last two nights. There's differences as far as what led
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to that, but hey, I mean, give me an excuse
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to shout out the Washington Rush which had him. We're
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: all so by the way right now, which is also
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: my kid's travel team. See, my voice is already going out.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I can't do it the way that you just did.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, Come check with me back maybe like a
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: month or July or so. I'm back in next week,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I believe also. Okay, well maybe in a week I'll
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: try to get the voice in the pipes. All one,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: All right, there we go.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: To Komadaj's text line, A lot to get to for
• 17:23

• 17:27
  Speaker 1: your concern? NHL side to you half thoughts, NBA side

• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Four nine four five one. To Komadaj's text line your
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: reactions right next here on any three three k jerifin.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: All right, Gregg's out to the family reasons. Congratulations again

• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in here for him. Here for the day, Chris kids
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: back on the other side of the glass. And for
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: those of you watching on YouTube, by the way, thanks
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: again for doing this with me. With you. I help
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: having chase you away after about roughly an hour and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a half because there is some familiarity here to this show.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: It's fresh, it's fresh, it's funkadelic. That's that music that
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you play once again here for the dakomadash text line
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: four nine four or five one nail did aka the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: porn music.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: It's a.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It's a staple.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It is a staple.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It's a staple.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: It's must here radio, all right. Mike Give mentioned some
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: things at the top of the show regarding the Spurs
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: and Okac well, a lot of Sonic fans, Spurs fans
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: have weighting from the two five three. Keith, I would
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: get a Wimby tramp stamp tattoo if the Spurs can
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: out of dust bowlers. OK see, I feel like Keith,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: You're not alone. There are probably one hundreds that will
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: follow suit.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: How big is the tram stamp? I mean it's gotta
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: be visible, like we're talking like about roughly three inches
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: in diameters ages. I don't if you can like go
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: all the way up like the small your back, if
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you can see it as a tram stamp, I think
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that's fair.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: So if you want to get three inches on your
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: back of a tattoo. That's totally fine.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: And we still have like maybe at least three more
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: games to go, if not all the way to seven.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So if Wemby posterizes somebody that's going on the back.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I think, oh, yeah, you can find you can.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Just like puffing his chest out, fist nearly clenched, screams
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: all the way to the heavens.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: He's very animated after that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That'll make a poster, that'll make a T shirt, that'll
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: make a tramp stamp. Also, absolutely what you got, Mike
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: U four two five kid are the thunder still in
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: my head. I put it here to the test last night.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm betting on SGA. I won money and didn't feel
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a bit bad about it. I guess I have my answer.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of things that money can solve.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I haven't found one yet where it's like, yeah, money
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: can't sell. I mean, actually I have found a few.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I can't solve it. But money's gonna make you happy.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: If someone just said here's one hundred dollars, I'm sure
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: your day will go from very happy for those that
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: saw me on you sure as heck can use that
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: for gas right now exactly, so money can solve a
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: few problems.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: We can go about five minutes on this.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: We really could one, all right? From Jason out of
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: the two oh six. I am a Spurs fan. Once
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Fox and Harper are on the floor, they will mop. Okay, see, okay,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: it's very confident there.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: We're here for the takes. We're here for the hot takes.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yes we are.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: What do you have.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Again?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I say, if you're the Spurs, you have to have
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: ball handlers. If you can get past this injury bug,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it takes care of a lot. So can Harper find
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a right hamstring that is healthy once again? Can the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Aaron Fox find the right high ankle spray? And that
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: can just go away? Because I think to me, you
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: get them back, that means activate Victor wemb beyond into
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: beast mode. He can't functions high without guys who can distribute.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I pose this again, Harper or Fox?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Who do you need more? And I was just kind
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: of laying laying this up on a tee for you,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: but I fully agree you have to have.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Dearon Fox back one thousand from the two five to
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: three guys, I'd walk barefoot through one thousand legos for
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the Spurs to win the series.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Ooh, one, ouch two. This now leads me into a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: sipperate question here, because we're still going to be here
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: for a few minutes. Four nine, four or five to one?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Would you walk barefoot through one thousand legos for the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Spurs to win this series?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: The man?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Would you walk barefoot for Reaping hot coals for the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Spurs to win this series? Would you walk barefoot across
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a bed of nails for the Spurs to win this series?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: What would you rather do? Legos, hot coals or a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: bed of nails?
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I think the legos is easy one. Would you not
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: do legos?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I mean if they're like the anybitty tiny ones, those
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: hurt more. Yeah, but I have kids who had legos.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Burning my feet I don't think is up for debate.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: But depending upon what kind of mindset you put yourself, there's.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Any mindset where I can say, yes, burn my feet for.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: A thou as possible. It is possible.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I guess it'd be life or death
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: in that scenario.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But it's like, are you are you more? You know?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Are you more averse to to temperature changes or sharp
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: twenty things going into your feet.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Give me legos for one thousand points.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Please swear till you have kids. But then again.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Different, you're not expecting it, Mike Iman. You walking into
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: your kids room, You're like, oh, hey, what son of
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: a versus? Okay, I'm going to do this for them
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: to win a champion and you know.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: It hurts harder. Also, biting your tongue after you stepped
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: on legos. I can't us to the naughty words around kids.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I cannot argue with that. From the two six Spurs gear, Yeah, baby,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: got a lot of burgers fans on here? Are we
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: not surprised?
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: No?
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: No?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: From the two five three. Hey, Mike, you said something
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: to the fact that John's voice was untradable in that sense. Actually,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you know what, screw that one. I got a better one. Okay.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: There was a question about hockey and I gotta find it. Uh, Okay,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: here it is.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I think I know you're talking about. But go ahead,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Oh you think?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, Benon, what is that is that that one? Benon?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on clubs pulling the goalies overly? Okay?
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: You read that one? What are your thoughts on teens
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: pulling goalies so early in the third period these days?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: That's a great question because I think for me, there
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: have been theories, there have been analytics to break this down,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: like basically that I think you know back twenty years ago,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: thirty years ago, in the nineties, two thousands, if you're
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: pulling the goalie earlier than a minute and a half
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: left in the game, it was way too early, because
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: if you're down by one, you know, that's leaving your
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: net open way, way, way too much. And the chances
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: back then of thought were you are giving the opponent
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: team too many chances to score on an empty net.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: But now things have changed.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Analytics have changed to where if you pull the goaltender
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: with around two to three minutes left, you're fine because
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: all you need is one goal. But also say if
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you're down by two, you're doing this with about three
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: minutes left, maybe even sometimes four minutes left. This is
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a puck possession game. Now in the NHL, teams are
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: hanging on with a lot and a lot more and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: once you get into and once you gain possession, you're
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: not letting it go, which now increases your chances of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: getting a key goal back. So say if you're down
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: by two, you get an empty net goal and you
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: still have about maybe two to three minutes here to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: play with it to tie things up. Where we've gone
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: to now, I've seen the extreme opposite of this, and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: back when goaltending great Patrick Wah coached the Avalanche. He
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: just got fired from the Islanders. But back when he
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: coached the Avalanche, I saw this too. Also at the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: major junior level when I work for the ever at
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Silver Tips. A former NHL coach who coached them, also
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Kevin Constantine, he and Patrick Waugh. Sometimes they pulled their
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: goaltenders with seven or eight minutes left in regulation. Now
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you talk about one extreme. This is the extreme of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the extremes. So if you're gonna do it to get
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: back into a game, why not. I mean, it is
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: a complete roll of the dice. But yeah, certainly it
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: has changed now than say twenty years ago, where teams
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: aren't Teams weren't doing this until like a minute left,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: but there's just not enough time then to set up
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and get a good scoring chance. Now you need at
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: least a minute and a half two minutes to play
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: with to finally, you know, get a key goal, get
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: back to within one or also tie it up. All right,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: great stuff, Ian Forness and Mayor of Mample Valley is
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: not too far away, he joins us.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Next.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Oh man, he came in way too late here for this,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean we can't spill content over into
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: this final segment to coming off text line four nine,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: four or five one. We were all over the place
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: today because of this baseball team and what they want
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to be, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the cracking audit, the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: NBA playoffs as well. We had a lot of NBA
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: chatter Mayor and Maple Valley without further ado side by
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: side here because our topic of conversation for the NBA
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: was would you buy Spurs paraphernalia if they beat OKAYC
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: And we had a lot of reaction on this. The
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: fuck your guy? Keith checks in here for the two three.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He's early, he's early, but he is on the spot.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: He's what you call p one in the business. Listens
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: all the time. Keith the two five three says I
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: would listen to Neil's promo on the mail anatomy for
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours straight. If the Spurs can handle business, Wow.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Oh so we're talking about like what what price would
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you pay?
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, heavy one. We had people say I will walk
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: barefoot through one thousand legos for the Spurs to win
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: this series. Would you walk barefoot over coals?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: No?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Or would you want barefoot or would you want barefoot
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: over a bed of nails? If the Spurs can win
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: this series?
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: No, you have to pick one or the other. I'm
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: picking neither. I'll take the legos the Finder can win.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: At that point, I don't care. I'll do legos if
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: I have to mind over. Come on, No, listen you
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: legos are way like hurt.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: They hurt.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: But I told you I've had kids. Man, they your
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: tone of about the naughty words out after that, I've
• 27:57

  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, Cole's nails, Legos, I'm going legos.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: You serious?
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: That's easy.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: There are people who are willing to walk over coles
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that the Spurs can win this series.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: How is the audit going for you? Have you been
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: contacted yet? Have they talked to the job have they
• 28:14

• 28:30
  Speaker 6: with you guys.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're worried about us, not that they
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: shouldn't be there in terms of the pecking order and
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: the concern level. Uh, broadcasting is not among them. Well,
• 28:45

  Speaker 1: this after yesterday because I took my eight year old.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: But by the way, thank you first setting it up.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: That was phenomenal. We we do this what's that? Who
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is behind you? I think you saw the photo. It
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: was a random guy sitting behind us. But I texted
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: this here to the Baseball group chat. You know, you me,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I'm the honorary Mullywop guy here for this. Yes, we
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: had one of those guys where if you've seen instagram
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: the memes, it's that meme of Clint Eastwood from grand
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Tono and he's sitting on his back porch trying to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: sip his paps, blue ribbon gnarl on his face like
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: these kids. And we had a guy right behind us
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: talking about everything from why can't guys the major leagues
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: catch with two hands all the time? And then can
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you imagine if someone asked lou Brock to wear a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: sliding mit and that was only by the second inning?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: So old man yelling at clouds is what he was.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: He was truly old man yelling at clouds. Oh my gosh,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I wish you'd had you guys.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: I wish I would have had you guys right in
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: the row. Did he get mad if guys didn't run
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: out of ground out? I think I heard that too, Yeah,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: I heard that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's a different to hey, different era man I.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: Don't those those sliding mits are dumb looking, I think,
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: but whatever if they if they prevent injuries and get.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: What I used batting gloves back then, and they got
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: torn up about probably a week or two weeks into
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the season. Now, Like I mean, my eleven year old's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: got one, he's got teammates who has one. And it's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: not just having a slide emit, but like you have
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to have one that has like a space alien or
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: an ice cream look on it. It's just it's a
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: different thing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: It used to be that the kids playing baseball they
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: just had to have, like the do they still have
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: to have like the titanium necklaces and all that kind
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: of stuff. Yeah, and now and now the kids is
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: a baseball rip? Why is that a baseball thing? Like
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: the titanium necklaces, the arm sleeves, that kind of stuff
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: that is like very much a baseball thing, especially a
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: kid's baseball.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: The arm sleeve thing, I guess has to do with compression.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: And I mean, I think to me, it's you see
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: guys in the major leagues who wear this stuff and
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the kids, Yeah, they they
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: can't compute, they don't compute and they just say, oh,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: this guy's wearing this thing. I want to be like
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: this guy. I must wear everything he wears. And they
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: wear compression sleeves, gotcha, but they eat. But also when
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you get into the thing with the compression sleeves, like
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I saw this about two years ago with my you know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: now eleven year old and he's a pitcher. Also, if
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you go out and wear a compression sleeve, the umpire
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: tells you take it off. Yeah, yeah, you get to
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: take it off and take the glasses off. Also because
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the glasses are a safety thing unless you have a prescription.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: But also the arm sleeve that also, you know, can
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: tend to mess with the batter's eye and it becomes
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: like an extreme disa And so they'd tell them just
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: to get rid of it. All that, all that stuff
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: is it is just making mom and dad pay more money. Exactly.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: It's just cost mom and dad. What was baseball become now?
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Because your kid has to have exactly, yeah, your kid
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: has to have all those things.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And look, I remember a basket, remember kid?
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Remember when the basketball shooting sleeves started coming about a
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: few years ago, that was like the big thing everyone's
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: got to have a shooting sleeve and basketball.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Also, let me take it way back for you mayor
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: if you remember this the era of the headband. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: used to wear headbands to church. I would wear I
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: was I had like twenty I had a little box,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: a shoe box, all different colors. And my mom was
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: just like, you can have this, because you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Know the one that I saw this would have been
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: how many see five four or five? Eight years ago?
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Eight nine years ago? I remember there was a couple
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: like kids playing like there's a big thing with not
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: just the headbands, but kind of more the kind of
• 32:55

  Speaker 1: told him you had to remove the head band because
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: because it had an NBA logo on it, it wasn't
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: allowed in our conference. But yeah, he would also like
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: he would do extremely What his answer should have been,
