- 1:55Speaker 3: I think not only does he feel like he's twenty four,
- 1:56Speaker 3: I think it feels like he's twenty four in the
- 1:58Speaker 3: year nineteen ninety eight. Because he showed me his tramp stamp. Yes,
- 2:01Speaker 3: oh Diddy, Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't realize that, So maybe I should Maybe
- 2:06Speaker 4: I should rethink this.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Right down there, it's just the picture of decord. Oh yeah, all.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Right, it's Chuck Bucking Ashley with you here on a
- 2:15Speaker 3: hump day. Greg Bell coming up here in about one minute.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Let me rip through your headlines. The NBA season tipped
- 2:20Speaker 3: off last night with two games. What an exciting game
- 2:24Speaker 3: to start the season. Double overtime thriller OKC beat the
- 2:27Speaker 3: Houston Rockings, Rockets and Kevin Durant by one point. The
- 2:31Speaker 3: Warriors beat the lebronless Lakers by ten inside. The NBA
- 2:36Speaker 3: debuts tonight on ESPN. Sounders take on the Minnesota United
- 2:40Speaker 3: Monday to start their MLS playoff in twenty twenty five.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Huskies are gonna host Illinois on Saturday. We'll talk to
- 2:47Speaker 3: Cam cleland about that at eight o'clock. And of course,
- 2:51Speaker 3: the Mariner season came to a close on Monday, and
- 2:55Speaker 3: the World Series will begin on Friday.
- 2:58Speaker 2: But who cares?
- 2:59Speaker 3: Seahawks are on by this week, and yet we've got
- 3:02Speaker 3: all this time now to talk about the Seahawks. So
- 3:05Speaker 3: let's tap into our Seahawks insider's knowledge.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Here's Greg Bell.
- 3:09Speaker 3: All right, Well, here we are at hump day and
- 3:11Speaker 3: we're all prepared to talk about the Seahawks. We got
- 3:14Speaker 3: all this time now to talk about the Seahawks, and
- 3:16Speaker 3: they decided to go on by.
- 3:18Speaker 2: How rude?
- 3:20Speaker 5: Yeah, the Pacific Northwest pay attention to him again. Seasons
- 3:24Speaker 5: back on football, Seasons on pause.
- 3:29Speaker 2: How good do you.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Think Mike McDonald feels five and two coming off that win?
- 3:34Speaker 3: Bye week? Is here chance to rest up? Kind of
- 3:37Speaker 3: a light schedule coming up to come out of the bye.
- 3:40Speaker 3: How does he think, how do you think Mike McDonald
- 3:43Speaker 3: feels about Seahawks football right now in the present moment.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Incomplete, He's in a perfect spot for a leader to
- 3:52Speaker 5: teach and to have their attention and to motivate and
- 3:57Speaker 5: to point out their flaws and to grow because they're
- 4:03Speaker 5: a flawed five and two. They are not complete on
- 4:06Speaker 5: offense whatsoever. They haven't consistently run them all. If we
- 4:09Speaker 5: talked about defensively, they've had tackle issues, the injuries. They've
- 4:15Speaker 5: yet to be whole in the secondary since the first
- 4:17Speaker 5: four plays of the season. They haven't had their starters
- 4:20Speaker 5: together in the secondary since then. They're a long way
- 4:24Speaker 5: to go. And he can argue that and talk to
- 4:27Speaker 5: the team in front of him in team meetings and say, look,
- 4:30Speaker 5: turn on the film and watch this the run game,
- 4:34Speaker 5: for instance, they're hit and miss on their blocking in
- 4:38Speaker 5: the run game. Yet they scored twenty seven points in
- 4:41Speaker 5: the team Houston that was leading the NFL and points
- 4:44Speaker 5: allowed at twelve a game coming in. So he's got
- 4:48Speaker 5: the benefit of a decent perch at five and two,
- 4:52Speaker 5: same record as the forty nine ers and the Rams,
- 4:53Speaker 5: atop the NFC West. Yet he's got their attention for
- 4:58Speaker 5: how many things they have to improve. Now. The encouraging
- 5:03Speaker 5: thing is that if they could get any of these
- 5:05Speaker 5: things working together, if they can finally get a complete
- 5:08Speaker 5: game going, they should win games easily. But that's elusive
- 5:13Speaker 5: and that's hard, and not every team does it in
- 5:15Speaker 5: the NFL, which is why only one team raises the
- 5:17Speaker 5: trophy at the end.
- 5:19Speaker 6: Well, yeah, obviously, the idea of being able to get
- 5:22Speaker 6: all things clicking right, I mean clicking on all cylinders
- 5:25Speaker 6: is what they would like to be. But of the
- 5:28Speaker 6: things that they need to work on, what is in
- 5:31Speaker 6: this bye week when they have a bunch of time
- 5:33Speaker 6: where they're not necessarily trying to rest up or heal
- 5:36Speaker 6: and get ready for a game this weekend? What is
- 5:38Speaker 6: the thing that is paramount? Is it getting the run
- 5:41Speaker 6: game more consistent?
- 5:42Speaker 2: Is it?
- 5:42Speaker 6: You know, if there is lapses on defense that allow
- 5:46Speaker 6: teams to move the ball at all? What is it
- 5:48Speaker 6: do you think is paramount when they're trying to get
- 5:51Speaker 6: this extra work in.
- 5:52Speaker 5: It's the run game, Bucky, It's what their identity is
- 5:55Speaker 5: supposed to be. It's how their offense is supposed to work.
- 5:58Speaker 5: And they're not working offense the way they were designed,
- 6:01Speaker 5: the way they brought in Klink Kubiak and John Benton
- 6:04Speaker 5: and mc dennison and new line coaches. I mean, they
- 6:08Speaker 5: junked their entire offense and turned it over to run
- 6:11Speaker 5: the ball, and they aren't doing it consistently. You look
- 6:15Speaker 5: at the numbers and what it was it one hundred
- 6:17Speaker 5: and nineteen yards rushing the other night. That's a couple
- 6:20Speaker 5: of games now that I've been like, what how do
- 6:22Speaker 5: they get one hundred yards? Looked up in the third
- 6:25Speaker 5: fourth quarter and Kenneth Walker suddenly had sixty some yards rushing.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Was like, where did that come from? Because he's running
- 6:32Speaker 5: into a brick wall and getting taken out in the
- 6:34Speaker 5: middle of drives most of the game. So some of
- 6:38Speaker 5: the numbers aren't set telling the whole story on how
- 6:42Speaker 5: they're running the ball. And there's still so many defensive
- 6:45Speaker 5: players in the hole at the line of scrimmage when
- 6:49Speaker 5: the running backs are trying to make their cuts through
- 6:51Speaker 5: the I mean it's not working. There's a couple spurts
- 6:56Speaker 5: in the middle of games that praised their numbers a
- 6:59Speaker 5: little bit, but I mean when it's fourth and one
- 7:03Speaker 5: and they're doing a rollout pass and an eighteen year
- 7:06Speaker 5: pass to Smith and Jigba. That tells me that they're
- 7:09Speaker 5: broken in the run game. That's not how they're supposed
- 7:12Speaker 5: to play and they supposed to. Well, what I mean
- 7:16Speaker 5: by that is they've completely redesigned themselves and dedicated themselves
- 7:21Speaker 5: to running the ball, and they're still passing the ball
- 7:23Speaker 5: on fourth and one. It's just not it's not working.
- 7:29Speaker 5: And McDonald said, we're still searching, That's what his term
- 7:33Speaker 5: was after the game. We're still searching for the right rhythm,
- 7:38Speaker 5: the right blocking, the right targeting, the consistency and the
- 7:42Speaker 5: run game just isn't there. Donald and Smith and Jigba
- 7:46Speaker 5: have been so good in the past game that it
- 7:48Speaker 5: has covered up some of these flaws inconsistencies in the
- 7:51Speaker 5: run game. Can they win this way? Yeah, they have
- 7:53Speaker 5: one this way. I still submit they can't win the
- 7:56Speaker 5: NFC West this way.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Greg mellis what us are Seahawks ins?
- 8:00Speaker 3: And of course you can follow a Seahawks coverage at
- 8:01Speaker 3: Thenewstribune dot com and at g Bell Seattle. They're on
- 8:06Speaker 3: X with us nearly every day at seven five here
- 8:09Speaker 3: on the Chuck and Buck radio program. So I think
- 8:13Speaker 3: about how bad this team looked defensively against Tampa and
- 8:16Speaker 3: how good they've looked since, and still without Devin Witherspoon
- 8:20Speaker 3: in the lineup, and you know, Julian Love has missed
- 8:23Speaker 3: a lot of the last month of the season. How
- 8:27Speaker 3: much credit do we give to the getting back to
- 8:31Speaker 3: Mike McDonald defense, just to the coach and his system.
- 8:34Speaker 3: And how much credit do we have to reserve, if any,
- 8:37Speaker 3: to guys like Tyo Katta and Drake Thomas for stepping
- 8:41Speaker 3: up and improve play, because I don't think that we
- 8:44Speaker 3: thought a lot of them back in the preseason, and
- 8:46Speaker 3: yet they're the guys that are filling these holes left
- 8:49Speaker 3: by star players that are getting the jobs done right now.
- 8:53Speaker 5: Yeah they are. And Okada in particular, has really improved
- 8:56Speaker 5: within the season. At the beginning of the season, they
- 9:00Speaker 5: picked on him and forty nine ers went right after
- 9:03Speaker 5: him when he came in was an injury replacement during
- 9:06Speaker 5: the game, and he's a short tackler, he's always in
- 9:12Speaker 5: the right place. McDonald talks a lot about how he
- 9:15Speaker 5: does everything right, how he prepares, how he practices his
- 9:19Speaker 5: leadership within the defense during a play, and communication, and
- 9:25Speaker 5: he's just a really sound player who technically proficient in
- 9:30Speaker 5: what McDonald wants him to do. In the middle of
- 9:32Speaker 5: the back of the defense. Drake Thomas has basically benched
- 9:38Speaker 5: Tyree Knight, and Tyree Knight was a starter last year
- 9:41Speaker 5: as a rookie and Thomas has replaced him, and McDonald
- 9:46Speaker 5: is using those two, especially Thomas, as an example to
- 9:49Speaker 5: the rest of the team of hey, if you practice
- 9:52Speaker 5: well and you do everything we ask you to do,
- 9:54Speaker 5: and then you perform when you were pressed into service,
- 9:57Speaker 5: you're gonna play. And over a rookie draft pick. He
- 10:01Speaker 5: last year, the drafted Tyree Knight in the middle rounds
- 10:05Speaker 5: and he was starting and now he's not. Those are
- 10:08Speaker 5: two really good examples he can point to and say, hey,
- 10:11Speaker 5: you do your job, you're going to play now. Ocada,
- 10:14Speaker 5: of course wouldn't be playing if Julian Love was healthy.
- 10:18Speaker 5: But suffice to say they have taken full advantage of
- 10:22Speaker 5: their opportunities. But to your former point, McDonald's system works
- 10:27Speaker 5: if you can plug and play Ocada and Thomas and
- 10:32Speaker 5: go without your starters in the secondary since the first
- 10:35Speaker 5: four players of the season and still performed this way
- 10:38Speaker 5: on defense, the system something you're doing something right. The
- 10:42Speaker 5: players have to play, but the players keep talking about
- 10:47Speaker 5: McDonald his system, how smart it is, how it changes
- 10:50Speaker 5: every week for the opponent, and the opponents can't really
- 10:53Speaker 5: get a read on what the Seahawks are going to
- 10:55Speaker 5: do from one week to the next defensively because they
- 10:58Speaker 5: change so much and he's always got to move in
- 11:01Speaker 5: an attacking and at the snap. We talked about how
- 11:05Speaker 5: they move it the snap and they confused the offense
- 11:07Speaker 5: and they just are always pressing the offense and no
- 11:12Speaker 5: matter who plant That's a credit to the coaching staff
- 11:16Speaker 5: into Mike McDonald's system as well, and Hugh was talked about.
- 11:21Speaker 5: Humillan has talked about this a lot. The similarities to
- 11:24Speaker 5: how this defense in Seattle has mirrored what McDonald did
- 11:28Speaker 5: the first two seasons in Baltimore is the defensive coordinator
- 11:31Speaker 5: are striking how they struggle at the beginning. They then
- 11:35Speaker 5: had to find the right personnel, including the middle linebackers
- 11:38Speaker 5: Patrick Queen and Baltimore and it's Ernest Jones and Seattle,
- 11:42Speaker 5: And as soon as they found that middle linebacker, the
- 11:45Speaker 5: defense took off. And the numbers of the last half
- 11:48Speaker 5: of last season through the beginning of this season are
- 11:51Speaker 5: remarkably similar to Baltimore. They are prone to inconsistencies. The
- 11:57Speaker 5: injuries and tackling issues have caught up at times, in
- 12:00Speaker 5: the Tampa Bay game being the most glaring example of that.
- 12:04Speaker 5: But as we're saying with Baker Mayfield across the league,
- 12:06Speaker 5: he's ripped up a lot of defenses, pretty much all
- 12:08Speaker 5: the defenses he plays right now, And so there may
- 12:11Speaker 5: be some of it is that they just had a
- 12:13Speaker 5: player that was better than they were that there.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Gee, I didn't get to watch this last game quite
- 12:19Speaker 6: as closely as I as I typically Yeah, I don't
- 12:23Speaker 6: know if very many people around town did watch it
- 12:25Speaker 6: like they normally would. And yet when I kind of
- 12:28Speaker 6: sift through some stuff, you look at Nick even Warry's stats,
- 12:31Speaker 6: and he just had a couple of tackles and a
- 12:34Speaker 6: couple of assistant tackles. I mean, is he's still living
- 12:36Speaker 6: up to the expectations that they had hoped for in
- 12:39Speaker 6: training camp and beginning the season before he got hurt.
- 12:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's even better because of how much
- 12:44Speaker 5: time he missed. He's ahead of where they probably thought
- 12:48Speaker 5: he might be. The high ankle sprain and he missed
- 12:51Speaker 5: multiple games he was basically starting over here a couple
- 12:54Speaker 5: of weeks ago when he came back and it looked
- 12:57Speaker 5: like he'd been playing the whole time. He's shore tackler.
- 13:01Speaker 5: He tackles in the alleys. The term that Mike McDonald's
- 13:04Speaker 5: to do. The alley is basically where receivers would run
- 13:08Speaker 5: a seam route, and it's from a slot the slot
- 13:12Speaker 5: position of an offensive formation down the middle of the defense.
- 13:16Speaker 5: Then the rails of the inside the hashmarks is basically
- 13:19Speaker 5: the alley, and in that space is where they are missing.
- 13:23Speaker 5: Hadn't been missing a lot of tackles well, when they
- 13:27Speaker 5: throw the ball or runs off tackle, come into that alley.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Nick even Warrey tackles dudes and they go straight down.
- 13:34Speaker 5: He made a play the other night. Since you were
- 13:37Speaker 5: focused on Toronto, you might not have noticed it. It
- 13:40Speaker 5: was a pass about fifteen or twenty yards down the
- 13:42Speaker 5: field over the middle that Emon Worriy peeled back on
- 13:46Speaker 5: and dived across from his right to his left and
- 13:52Speaker 5: broke up the pass almost with his face mask because
- 13:54Speaker 5: he had dived so far across in front of the
- 13:56Speaker 5: receiver's faith and then he used his shoulder to knock
- 14:00Speaker 5: off the receiver as he was deflecting the ball. It
- 14:03Speaker 5: looked in physicality almost like Cam Chancellor and the Cam
- 14:11Speaker 5: Chancellor comparison really is at because of how sure of
- 14:13Speaker 5: a tackler he's been so far on a team that
- 14:16Speaker 5: has been very inconsistent tackling, he has stood out as
- 14:19Speaker 5: maybe their most consistent tackler in the short time he's played. Yesterday,
- 14:24Speaker 5: we thought we were talking to McDonald about the nickelback
- 14:27Speaker 5: situation and I asked him, well, because even where's the
- 14:31Speaker 5: primary nickel right now? I said, is he the nickel
- 14:34Speaker 5: because Witherspoon has been playing or is he the nickel
- 14:36Speaker 5: because he's earned it? And he said he's earned it.
- 14:40Speaker 5: And he said it's an interesting question for when Witherspoon
- 14:44Speaker 5: comes back, which they think it'll be the next game
- 14:46Speaker 5: after the Buy November second at Washington, a week from
- 14:49Speaker 5: Sunday Sunday night game. By the way, it'll be an
- 14:52Speaker 5: interesting McDonald said. It'll be an interesting dilemma for them,
- 14:55Speaker 5: a good problem to have on who they're going to
- 14:57Speaker 5: put as the primary nickel. I think it's going to
- 14:59Speaker 5: be even worry I think you're going to see more
- 15:01Speaker 5: of Weatherspoon outside with Josh Job and that Riquillan will
- 15:05Speaker 5: be the odd man out again.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Well, you've been doing double dipping as a little light
- 15:10Speaker 3: covering two teams at once. You've been International League jet
- 15:13Speaker 3: setting all over and so how are you gonna treat
- 15:16Speaker 3: your bye week? You're gonna take a little time off,
- 15:18Speaker 3: a little get away. The Bells always have an adventure
- 15:20Speaker 3: up their sleeves.
- 15:22Speaker 5: There we do. Yeah, probably my wife's working through the
- 15:27Speaker 5: rest of the week, so I'll be around. But yeah,
- 15:29Speaker 5: we'll probably gonna go somewhere Saturday night and the Sunday
- 15:31Speaker 5: to get away for a night. We maybe some mountain biking,
- 15:34Speaker 5: and she really likes Winch now. She likes going up
- 15:36Speaker 5: to that area and restaurants and the mountain biking and
- 15:42Speaker 5: the weather. It's usually dryer over there, so we might
- 15:44Speaker 5: go over there if it's not too rain I supposed
- 15:47Speaker 5: to rain be pretty windy this weekend, but it is
- 15:50Speaker 5: cool in the NFL season to have a break. The
- 15:53Speaker 5: players really enjoy it. There was a recharging when they
- 15:56Speaker 5: come back. It's a little bit like mini spring break,
- 16:01Speaker 5: a bit for school kids.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Well, I think there are going to be two of
- 16:03Speaker 2: them in the future, just to just.
- 16:06Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right about that. Yeah, eighteen games, and they're
- 16:09Speaker 5: really pushing this international stuff too. There's two more new
- 16:12Speaker 5: international cities they're teasing, might be on the horizon next year,
- 16:16Speaker 5: and eventually they want to have sixteen international games a
- 16:20Speaker 5: year with each team playing in them. Thirty two teams
- 16:23Speaker 5: playing sixteen games overseas every year.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh it's coming.
- 16:27Speaker 3: All right, Greg, thank you, we appreciate it, and we
- 16:29Speaker 3: will bug you again of course.
- 16:32Speaker 5: Yeah. What is this Wednesday?
- 16:34Speaker 2: Wednesday? Yeah, it's hard to keep track these days. All right.
- 16:39Speaker 5: There he is.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Greg bellar Sihawks Insider, and his segment is brought to
- 16:43Speaker 3: you now by the Dellacado Family Wines. They offer a
- 16:47Speaker 3: portfolio of premium wines from a selection of the most
- 16:50Speaker 3: desirable vineyards from notable wine growing regions in California, Germany,
- 16:56Speaker 3: and Chile. The winery harvest grapes for more than six
- 17:00Speaker 3: thousand acres of estate vineyards in California's Napa, Lodi, Monterey
- 17:05Speaker 3: and Sonoma regions to craft wines that expressed the diversity
- 17:08Speaker 3: of these appellations. Dellacado Family Wines the Greg Bell Family
- 17:13Speaker 3: wine of choice right here on KJR. Coming up next,
- 17:17Speaker 3: we'll play some Factor Fiction at seven thirty five. We'll
- 17:19Speaker 3: also talk about somebody who might have slipped through the
- 17:23Speaker 3: cracks of criticism for what happened Monday night on the Mariners.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Maybe we should shine a light on this issue next
- 17:32Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. The Mariners being
- 17:35Speaker 3: eliminated from the playoffs. We spent some time talking about
- 17:39Speaker 3: Dan Wilson certainly yesterday, and some other reasons why we
- 17:44Speaker 3: are no longer alive.
- 17:45Speaker 2: In a World Series pursuit.
- 17:47Speaker 3: But one thing that I mentioned in the postgame on Monday,
- 17:51Speaker 3: we didn't talk about it a lot yesterday, and leave
- 17:53Speaker 3: it to that crafty old Hume Millon to bring this
- 17:55Speaker 3: up at the very end of our football hour with
- 17:59Speaker 3: he and Cod, and I think it is something to
- 18:02Speaker 3: bring up.
- 18:03Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Maybe I never saw the right angle, and maybe it's
- 18:06Speaker 3: because I wasn't at home watching the game and I
- 18:09Speaker 3: was out at a casino and I don't have the
- 18:11Speaker 3: remote to rewind it or anything like that. But when
- 18:15Speaker 3: that Isaiah Kiner Fhileff a ground ball which ended up
- 18:19Speaker 3: being huge, dribbled through the infield, as Hugh put it,
- 18:23Speaker 3: like on a one hundred and thirty five bouncer up
- 18:27Speaker 3: the middle man. I thought, off the bat, that's a six'
- 18:31Speaker 3: to three double. Play we're out of this. Trouble and
- 18:35Speaker 3: instead it not only went Through, bucky it went through
- 18:38Speaker 3: by three, feet PAST Jp crawford and into center. Field
- 18:43Speaker 3: hugh suggested that shortstops should be able to get to that.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Ball kind of feels to me like shortstops should be
- 18:50Speaker 3: able to get to that. Ball why DID Jp crawford
- 18:53Speaker 3: not get to that.
- 18:54Speaker 6: Ball i'm not really one hundred percent sure. EITHER i
- 18:57Speaker 6: never did get a clear angle on where he was.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Playing When hughes, says, oh he's shaded a little bit
- 19:02Speaker 6: towards second, base there's no way he was shaded towards
- 19:04Speaker 6: second back because it was it would have been like
- 19:07Speaker 6: a half a step um hum to his, Left SO
- 19:10Speaker 6: i don't he had to have been shaded in the. Hole,
- 19:12Speaker 6: NOW i MEAN i one thing THAT i know IS
- 19:18Speaker 6: jp is not fast for a, shortstop no.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Period and he's even less quick than he is. Fast,
- 19:25Speaker 3: yeah you get Of steve, though and he can be pretty.
- 19:28Speaker 3: Fast But bucky AND i were commenting in the playoffs
- 19:31Speaker 3: about how short a lead he gets for a. Shortstop
- 19:33Speaker 3: he's so scared that he's going to there's gonna be
- 19:36Speaker 3: a pickoff, play and he doesn't have lateral quickness that
- 19:38Speaker 3: he has like a two step lead off of first.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Base he's that little of a stolen base threat, now
- 19:43Speaker 3: and he's playing, Shortstop, bucky maybe the position most where
- 19:48Speaker 3: you most need lateral.
- 19:49Speaker 6: Quickness, YEAH i MEAN i think that the, yeah the quickness,
- 19:52Speaker 6: part or the lack, thereof is. INTERESTING i ended up
- 19:56Speaker 6: just finally pulling this thing up a little bit right
- 19:58Speaker 6: here to look at, it AND i think what they were.
- 20:01Speaker 6: DOING i think where he was at he. WAS i
- 20:03Speaker 6: think he was shaded towards the six, hole so shaded
- 20:05Speaker 6: towards third, base but in shallow because he's in double
- 20:10Speaker 6: play depth as. Well, right you can't be deep and
- 20:12Speaker 6: in the six hole because now if there is a
- 20:14Speaker 6: ground ball To polonko or somebody on the right, side
- 20:17Speaker 6: you don't have time to get there to turn. Two
- 20:20Speaker 6: so because all of a, SUDDEN i see where it's
- 20:22Speaker 6: hit and he's. Diving he's five feet from the outfield
- 20:25Speaker 6: grass where he's. Diving we're typically on a ball that's
- 20:28Speaker 6: hit to that. Spot he gets to that ball because
- 20:31Speaker 6: he's five feet for the back giving him five feet
- 20:33Speaker 6: more time before the ball gets past. Him, STILL i,
- 20:36Speaker 6: mean it's hit, okay decent wise as far as the
- 20:41Speaker 6: velocity of it coming, Off and yet there's something there.
- 20:44Speaker 6: WHERE i, mean he's Not the lack of explosiveness is abundantly.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Clear and usually doesn't improve with. AGE i, mean there
- 20:53Speaker 2: are things you can do to delay, it but, man
- 20:56Speaker 2: he is really. Limited AND i don't think he's the only.
- 21:00Speaker 2: ANYWHERE i think he's our. SHORTSTOP i don't even think
- 21:01Speaker 2: you could trade him at twelve million dollars but Cold.
- 21:05Speaker 2: EMERSON i think the plan is that Cold emerson takes that,
- 21:07Speaker 2: job and If emerson's futures at, third Then felm And
- 21:10Speaker 2: celestin might eventually Move emerson to.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Third and maybe there's a chance That emerson's ready at
- 21:16Speaker 3: some point next. Year But JP's going to be our
- 21:19Speaker 3: starting shortstop at the beginning of next.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Year it's a. Problem it's a. Problem his defense has
- 21:23Speaker 2: become a big.
- 21:24Speaker 6: Problem IT'S i, mean it's just less than. IDEAL i
- 21:27Speaker 6: don't know if i'd call a. PROBLEM i, mean just
- 21:29Speaker 6: because there's things like, that like you want a guy
- 21:32Speaker 6: to be able to make all the magnificent places you,
- 21:34Speaker 6: know you think about some of the better shortstops out,
- 21:36Speaker 6: there and how do they erase? RUNNERS i, mean, yeah
- 21:39Speaker 6: they just take away things That what the? Hell how
- 21:41Speaker 6: is that not a? Knock the thing ABOUT, jp which
- 21:46Speaker 6: NORMALLY i would, say IF i have any worry ABOUT,
- 21:48Speaker 6: jp it's throwing the damn ball across the.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Time and how many times?
- 21:52Speaker 5: Too?
- 21:52Speaker 6: Yeah how many times Did naylor pick him up like
- 21:54Speaker 6: a routine ground ball?
- 21:56Speaker 5: Time?
- 21:57Speaker 6: Yeah and you throw a short hop over there, now
- 21:59Speaker 6: just degree you, know maybe there's a, Well i'm not
- 22:02Speaker 6: gonna throw this thing over his head BECAUSE i know
- 22:04Speaker 6: he can pick. It we also don't need to test,
- 22:07Speaker 6: him right if it's if you're in a rush and
- 22:09Speaker 6: you throw a short op or you throw you have
- 22:12Speaker 6: forced him to pick. It that's one thing because you're
- 22:15Speaker 6: in a. Rush if you're not in a, rush you
- 22:17Speaker 6: should be throwing that. Thing not every, time you're, human
- 22:20Speaker 6: but you should be throwing it more often than not
- 22:21Speaker 6: right to his. Chest and he does not do.
- 22:23Speaker 2: That let's play some factor. Fiction where's that to?
- 22:25Speaker 7: Go glad you're with, us it's your shot at our

- 22:57Speaker 3: Weeks bucky did get his most recent pick, right and

- 25:20Speaker 3: Mark james And Christopher, kidd.
- 25:22Speaker 2: We Get reckless At.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Breakfast next ON kjr, today we get a Little reckless At,
- 25:26Speaker 3: Breakfast and of Course i'm going to talk about The,
- 25:29Speaker 3: mariners and, yeah, Sorry i'm gonna go ahead and jump
- 25:32Speaker 3: forward in the. OFFSEASON i, mean it's not LIKE i
- 25:34Speaker 3: got a Crystal ball forecast this early in the. Process
- 25:37Speaker 3: BUT i noticed a lot of people discussing this, yesterday
- 25:40Speaker 3: a lot of people writing stories about, it and So
- 25:43Speaker 3: i'm gonna represent here this morning In.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Reckless At, BREAKFAST i will say.
- 25:48Speaker 3: THIS i, MEAN i think that the number one objective
- 25:50Speaker 3: is to Get Josh naylor back on a long term.
- 25:52Speaker 5: Deal.
- 25:53Speaker 3: MAN i just see such a clear path that doesn't
- 25:55Speaker 3: even have to make the organization uncomfortable. Financially you're gonna
- 25:59Speaker 3: Get hanneger off the books this year at fifteen and
- 26:01Speaker 3: a half, Million garber at, Twelve solano at three and a,
- 26:04Speaker 3: half more at three in tells who you're still carrying at.
- 26:07Speaker 3: One that's thirty five million dollars right. There so thirty
- 26:11Speaker 3: five million dollars without even having to add the, payroll
- 26:14Speaker 3: not to mention what you could say from The geno
- 26:16Speaker 3: contract as well if you're not bringing him, back which
- 26:20Speaker 3: we'll get to more of that in a.
- 26:21Speaker 2: MOMENT i mean that clears the.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Space right, There bucky For, Naylor let's say at twenty
- 26:26Speaker 3: million dollars will split the difference between what you said
- 26:29Speaker 3: yesterday and what the what THE spo track people are
- 26:33Speaker 3: valuing him. At let's put it at twenty. MILLION i
- 26:35Speaker 3: think that's an aggressive. Number and let's Put polonko at
- 26:39Speaker 3: a multi year deal at twelve million. Dollars so that's
- 26:43Speaker 3: thirty two right. There so those two, guys if you
- 26:46Speaker 3: really wanted to bring them, back you can get them
- 26:48Speaker 3: back just by without adding to add the, payroll just
- 26:52Speaker 3: by what you already are going to save going into next.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Year i'm done with.
- 26:56Speaker 5: That sign me.
- 26:58Speaker 6: UP i, Mean I'VE i know that they're looking at,
- 27:02Speaker 6: okay how you, KNOW i would hope that they maybe
- 27:05Speaker 6: do something beyond like with some of the core group
- 27:08Speaker 6: guys of The Logan, gilberts if that's next in, LINE
- 27:10Speaker 6: i hope they do something there which would add to
- 27:13Speaker 6: the payroll over what you're projecting him to make it
- 27:17Speaker 6: if he still stays on the arbitration. Number so hopefully
- 27:20Speaker 6: they're doing something like. That but regardless you that's where
- 27:23Speaker 6: even if it makes them uncomfortable what you're, saying it
- 27:25Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily have to if you just look at that
- 27:27Speaker 6: math right, there like that's just the that guy's are
- 27:30Speaker 6: priority number. One this is coming off the books, here
- 27:33Speaker 6: take this from here and put it right. There i'm
- 27:35Speaker 6: one hundred percent with you on. THAT i Just I'm
- 27:38Speaker 6: i'm concerned about how they're what they're thinking. About they're
- 27:41Speaker 6: gonna have what they're their. Increase it's how big of
- 27:44Speaker 6: an increase they're gonna have to have through all of
- 27:46Speaker 6: their arbitration number because some of these young dudes that
- 27:49Speaker 6: are part of this core are all getting more and
- 27:52Speaker 6: more expensive every year every.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Year, WELL i think the arbitration guys Are, Gilbert kirby And,
- 27:58Speaker 3: bryce AND i Think Go Rosa arena might still be
- 28:02Speaker 3: in that category sign That, yeah, Yeah SO i think
- 28:06Speaker 3: it's Just, Gilbert kirby And bryce are the ones you
- 28:09Speaker 3: gotta worry about. Arbitration, yes that's gonna jump, up BUT
- 28:11Speaker 3: i left a little bit of wiggle room there for.
- 28:14Speaker 3: That Plus gino's probably not going to be brought back
- 28:17Speaker 3: at his salary for next. YEAR i do Think Logan
- 28:21Speaker 3: gilbert will be extended this, offseason but that doesn't mean
- 28:24Speaker 3: that his big money has to kick in immediately if
- 28:27Speaker 3: they're really counting those dollars toward twenty twenty six. Payroll
- 28:31Speaker 3: AND i think that you can certainly wait On kirby
- 28:34Speaker 3: and absolutely wait On Bryce. Miller it's not even time
- 28:37Speaker 3: to even think about A Bryce miller at this. Point
- 28:39Speaker 3: so just that, Alone, now that doesn't Mean BECAUSE i
- 28:43Speaker 3: heard a lot of aggressive talk yesterday about who are
- 28:47Speaker 3: we going to ADD i just warn you right, now
- 28:50Speaker 3: probably not. Anybody probably not through free agency. ANYWAY i,
- 28:55Speaker 3: mean there are some big names out there, that let's face,
- 28:58Speaker 3: it we're just not going to. Sign those guys Are
- 29:00Speaker 3: Kyle tucker And Alex. Bragman we're just not going to
- 29:03Speaker 3: play in that. Ballpark we're not going to play in that.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Sandbox what might be, affordable AND i still don't even
- 29:09Speaker 3: know if this Is Cody, Bellinger Bo, baschett A Max.
- 29:13Speaker 3: Munsey maybe could be a nice veteran addition to add
- 29:17Speaker 3: to this. TEAM a guy that can play, third a
- 29:18Speaker 3: guy that can play, first a guy that CAN dh for.
- 29:21Speaker 3: You he can even play second, base for goodness. Sake
- 29:23Speaker 3: so maybe those are names that they'll bandy. About but
- 29:27Speaker 3: the only way you can get, there even to that
- 29:30Speaker 3: point is you got to trim some payroll. Somewhere and
- 29:34Speaker 3: so the one guy that you, circle where could we
- 29:37Speaker 3: save money if we wanted to be active in free,
- 29:40Speaker 3: agency WHICH i don't expect them to, be That's Luis.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Castile he's gonna make twenty four million dollars next.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Year he's on a multi year.
- 29:50Speaker 3: DEAL i think there would be some interest from some
- 29:53Speaker 3: pitching starve teams out there that operate with bigger payrolls
- 29:57Speaker 3: than what we. HAVE i don't think that you would
- 29:59Speaker 3: get a lot in return for, Him but what would
- 30:02Speaker 3: your objective. Be it probably wouldn't be to get a
- 30:05Speaker 3: major return For Luis. Castillo it probably would be to
- 30:09Speaker 3: free up some space payroll, space because even though we
- 30:13Speaker 3: don't have a salary cap in the, sport you know
- 30:14Speaker 3: That stanton and the owners are operating with one that
- 30:17Speaker 3: would free up some money if you did want to
- 30:20Speaker 3: add to the team somewhere else and needed money to. Do,
- 30:22Speaker 3: so let's, face we Got Emerson, hancock we Got Logan
- 30:25Speaker 3: evans that might be able to fulfill that number five
- 30:29Speaker 3: starter in your rotation role just. Fine And Kate anderson
- 30:33Speaker 3: is going to be ready for the majors sooner than.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Not he was practically major league ready at the college
- 30:39Speaker 3: level this past, year and we lucked out and got
- 30:41Speaker 3: the number two pick via the lottery in The Major
- 30:44Speaker 3: League Baseball. Draft SO i think that you do have
- 30:47Speaker 3: a little bit of an excess of pitching right now
- 30:49Speaker 3: that you could move on From Luis, castillo create that,
- 30:53Speaker 3: space and then maybe use that money in a trade
- 30:56Speaker 3: and possibly free agency as. Well but if you're gonna
- 31:00Speaker 3: to actually add something of significance this, year it's probably
- 31:03Speaker 3: because you found a taker For Luis. Castillo as much
- 31:06Speaker 3: as we like, HIM i think that will be something
- 31:09Speaker 3: they deeply consider this.
- 31:10Speaker 6: Also, yeah they, Might and that's unfortunate BECAUSE i mean
- 31:13Speaker 6: he's been he's been a rock in your. ROTATION i,
- 31:15Speaker 6: mean he's made every start the last couple of. Years
- 31:18Speaker 6: you just kind of log. On and now he's getting
- 31:20Speaker 6: up there in age what it would be thirty two
- 31:22Speaker 6: or thirty THREE i think next, year so maybe he
- 31:24Speaker 6: won't be able to stay. Healthy but it still is
- 31:27Speaker 6: one of THOSE i don't really want him to have
- 31:29Speaker 6: to do The, okay we want to add this, guy
- 31:32Speaker 6: but in order to do, that we got to get
- 31:33Speaker 6: rid of this. Guy there's no salary. Cap you're not
- 31:36Speaker 6: even anywhere near the. Threshold just recognize where you're at right.
- 31:41Speaker 6: Now you were nine outs away from making it to
- 31:43Speaker 6: The World. SERIES i don't want to do, well subtract
- 31:45Speaker 6: a little here and add a little, here just, add
- 31:48Speaker 6: just go out and, add, Please and YET i history
- 31:51Speaker 6: says that's probably not the way they'll do.
- 31:53Speaker 3: It all, right coming up here on the radio, Program
- 31:57Speaker 3: Cam cleveland's going to join. Us we'll talk Some huskies
- 32:00Speaker 3: football with the Former husky tight end right here On
