  Speaker 4: Ultimately a loss to the New Jersey Devils last night.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: For the Kracking final score, there was three to two
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: in the contest. It did go to overtime, so pretty
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: good at collecting that point. I'll say that about this
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: lane Lambert squad. They did get that point, but they
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: lose an overtime by a final score of three to two.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: They've now lost three of their last four games, so
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: hopefully we're not experiencing another slide. They will next play
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: tonight in Boston against the Bruins. They're going to drop
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: the puck there at five o'clock. Good morning, It's Chuck,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Buck and Ashley with you here on this Thursday, just
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: a couple days shy of the Seahawks taking on the
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine Ers in the NFL Divisional Round
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: of the playoffs. Five o'clock tomorrow is the kickoff or
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: not tomorrow? Saturday is the kickoff right here from Seattle.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: We got all sorts of people lined up to discuss
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: it today, including our twelfth Man roundtable, which is coming
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: your way at eight o'clock. One of the topics that
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: we'll certainly discuss is Fred Warner, who is not ruling
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: out the possibility of returning for the forty nine Ers
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: in time for Saturday night. Sounds like it's a long
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: shot based off of the reports from beat Riders, but
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Fred Warner is a pretty freakish athlete and one heck
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: of a player, and so he's trying to set his
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: sights on being available to the team on Saturday night.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: We'll discuss more about that coming up on the program
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the rest of your frost brewed Corslight, choose chill headlines.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Buffalo at Denver will start the round of the playoffs
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Saturday afternoon. Then Sunday you've got Texans at New England
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: and the Rams at Chicago.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: It's supposed to be very cold there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: John Harbaugh is going to be the next head coach
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of the New York Giants. They have not finalized the
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: deal officially, but it sounds like they have an agreement.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Adam Schefter reporting on that last night. He's rarely wrong
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: about these things, so it looks like John Harball is
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: going to fill the first of nine head coaching vacancies.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Right now in the National Football League, we.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Are four days away from the College Football National Championship
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: between Miami and Indiana that will be played Monday night.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Dante More has decided to stay at Oregon for another
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: year rather than enter the NFL. And finally, the Michigan
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Wolverines came into town last night, played at a sold
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: out head ech heck ed head ech heck ed, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: then ended up defeating the Washington Huskies by final score
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: of eighty two to seventy two.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Udubs can't lick their wounds for long.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: They've got another big matchup Saturday against the Michigan State Spartans.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: It says to be determined on the time for that,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: I thought they determined.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I think it's at three o'clock because it was to
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: be determined based on the Seahawks game. Now with the
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Seahawks game at five, I think that's at three or
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: three thirty one of the all right.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't play at five. Don't play it five.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: That'd be a bad idea, and to talk about it,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: but let's face it, so much more out there on
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: the Seattle sports scene is a huge Seattle sports fan
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: and also just huge person. Spencer Hawes now joins us
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: here our friend Spencer Owz on Chuck and Buck in
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the morning.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, Good morning, how are you guys? Hi?
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You been it's new?
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Nothing much. First of all, I got to say happy
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: birthday to my lovely wife. She's sleeping and won't hear this,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: but got a day of festivities plan.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Well, happy birthday, missus Hawes. That's great.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Oh but that was a fun one last night. That
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: was the best atmosphere I can remember in heck ed unfortunate.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: We got two thirds of a Pac twelve crew doing
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: the refereeing. But that's an impressive team in Michigan, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: I thought I thought the Huskies, for not being able
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: to make a shot for the first seven minutes, put
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: themselves in a pretty good position.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they had good looks, especially from the three point
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: line in the first half. I wasn't sure that that
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: was going to happen for them. I mean, Michigan's just
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: been dominant so far this college basketball season. But they
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: had their chances, they had their looks. They just couldn't
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: hit a shot.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Spencer.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of been the story of their season,
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: and and candidly, that was my biggest concern going in
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: is there's just not enough shooting on that roster. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: when you're playing in a conference it's a physical as
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: the Big Ten. Obviously, in any situation, shootings at a premium.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: But I think it was unfortunate. You know, when they're
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: rolling out a seven to four guy and a couple
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: of other guys, you know, six ten, six eleven, you're
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: gonna have to be able to make shots from the outside,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: and you know, they got to. They got to seventy
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: two points, but they left a lot out there.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, what does this team have to do then?
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, because you're gonna have some games where the
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: shooting lights up, and yet if you're just thinking, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: it's going to be less than what you want. What
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: are the other things that this team needs to do.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: What can they do to kind of circumvent that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Well, I think something that they've been a lot better
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: with the last couple of games that I've noticed is
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: the pace and if if you can't make shots the masses,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: you just got to take more of them. And I
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: think it seems to be an adjustment that Danny's made.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it can side coincides with Desmond
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Claude not being in the lineup. He's a bit of
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: a ball stopper for my liking. But it seems like they,
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: especially last night, they were really trying to push the
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: tempo and create more shots easy in the shot talk,
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: because they don't have the talent or the individual when
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: it gets the end of the clock for any one
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: player to go get a shot, and so I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: it's even more imperative that they try and get going
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: early and put that pressure on the defense where you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: if they're not going to get a good shot. At
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: least they got a chance for an offensive rebound.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned Claude and Yates.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I mean if at the beginning of the year, if
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: you would have said, Hey, that Michigan game is going
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: to be a big game and those two guys are
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: going to play a combined twenty two minutes and go
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: zero for six from the floor, you would have thought
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: they would have lost by fifty. I mean they were
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: supposed to play big roles on this team. I know
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: they'd have injuries this season, but you know where is
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: where's coach Sprinkle with Clawe Yates and and how they
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: fit into this thing going forward.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what. I don't know what's going
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: on with the I know Leslie obviously has the situation
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: with his hand. I didn't expect to see see him
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: last night, and it's good. I mean I was worried
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: at one point he was going to be out for
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: the year. So even though uh, you know, he wasn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: able to get much going and it was good to
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: see him just back out there on the floor. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: as for Desmond, I don't know what's going on in
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: that situation, but the ball seems to stop with him,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: uh and in the half court, in the full court,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: and you know, you a game like last night, you
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: could use a guy that's really the only guy in
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: the a roster that's the shot maker from kind of
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: that mid range level. But you know, he didn't look
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: like he was ready to play, and he kind of
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: figured he was gonna have a short least regardless, And
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: that's that's what ended up happening yesterday.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: JJ had a good game when he was in there.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I met him at a what was it the place
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: that we went to, the new beer haul down there
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: by the Queen Anne? Yet, what wasn't the Queen Anne?
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: When the new one that they opened right off across
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: the street from moomen Field. Anyway, good kid, what are
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: you seeing out of him that you're liking?
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, I got as a big guy, you're always
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: you're always a little preferential to the old school pure
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: point guard. But it looked like until last night he'd
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: just been kind of having a crisis in confidence. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: you know, he he came out last night, I think
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: the first half he was still looking a little bit pentitive,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: and then it was almost like something quick at halftime
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: where he kind of said, you know, I don't there's
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: nothing to lose, I'm gonna come out here. I know
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: he saw something where he thought he could get a
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: step on those guards, and he was doing a great
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: job of getting downhill, creating more opportunities with the pass
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: and then looking for a shot, which he hasn't been
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: doing lately. And you know, he was able to knock
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: down a couple threes for the first time in a while,
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: and I think that gave him some confidence and open
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: things up to be able to get to the second
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: level and create some opportunities. Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Of all the silver linings and there were a few,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: obviously for the Dogs last night, that was probably the
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: most silver the way that he played. Spencer Awisin's with
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: us right here on Chuck them Buck in the morning.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: We're gonna talk some Seahawks football with Spencer in a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: little bit, but of course talking college hoops as well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Michigan eighty two to seventy two winners over the Huskies
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: last night, sold out arena, great atmosphere, great energy, and
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: yet couldn't pull off the victory against a team that
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Don McClain kept saying throughout the broadcast, Spencer is the
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: best in the country. Just repeated it maybe one hundred times.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, is that the quality of team that Washington
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: faced last night?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Is Michigan that good? In your eyes?
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: I can't imagine there's that many, certainly that I've seen
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: so far, that there's that many teams that they can
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: be better than them. I mean their combination of size,
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: which I don't know if anybody in the country can
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: match up with, and kind of what we talked about
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: with the Huskies, the pace that they play the game
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: with that many big guys, and their ability and their
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: depth to rotate those big guys and keep them fresh.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's a scary combination. The way the game started,
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: I didn't think any team would have an opportunity to
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: sniff ninety points. And then you're looking up at kind
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: of the end of the second half, like, man, they
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: make a couple more shots, they're going to get to
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: the ninety point threshold. But it seems like every time
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: I check a box score, that's where they end up.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: How do they match up against Michigan State. I mean,
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: there's a couple of big games of Michigan State and
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Nebraska before Oregon comes into town.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: But that's whatever.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, how are you feeling that they're matching up
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: against some of these other big dogs in the Big Ten?
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Obviously it doesn't get easier. I don't think Michigan State
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: is quite to the quality of Michigan, but you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: they're going to be one of the most well coached,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: well prepared teams in the country, and it's another test it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I'm grateful we have the opportunity to play at home.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: The three o'clock start. I don't love selfishly on Saturday.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: I would like to give a little bit more of
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: a buffer between between that and the Hawks game, but uh,
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: you know, I think it's gonna be another good atmosphere
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: in there, uh for everybody that's not trying to double
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: dip like myself. And you know, they got to get
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: they got to get one of these games. They got
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: to get. The Ohio State game was big, but they
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: got to get one that can kind of break through
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: that you know, ranked victory ceiling and give them some
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: momentum as we kind of get into get into Big
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Ten play. All right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Before we move on to other subjects, I do have
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: to ask what was your least favorite call? Was it
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the goaltending on Mara that was missed. What did you
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: hate about the officiating last night?
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: I thought that was the game. Uh, you know, given
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: he makes that, it goes to five, the crowds into it,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: then it's it almost it's it's almost like a two
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: for one for Michigan because then they got a fast
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: break and they end up going down and scoring. But honestly,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: there were so many bad ones last night. The foul
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: on Honess to give him the fourth where they had
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: the guy trapped and he just kind of fell out
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: of downs on his own. But when I'm recognizing the
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: reps that were bad when I played and and see
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: two thirds of the crew back back in the building,
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: and honestly, they weren't the worst ones. The other one
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: I thought stood out, which you never want a referee
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: to do. But you know, that's not the reason we
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: lost the game. But that was as bad as I've seen.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: And it's a shame that you know that that that's
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: allowed to impact a game like that and the way
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: that it did.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Former 'dub big Man, high school basketball legend, a longtime
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: NBA player and monstrous Seattle sports fans, Spencer Hall is
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: our guest here this morning. A lot of reasons to
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: check in with you this morning, just to say hi.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Number one, also to wish your wife a happy birthday.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: We wanted to make sure that we did that here
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: today we've checked that off the list. But also I
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: want to check your fever for Saturday night. As a
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Monster Seahawks fan. How fired up are you for some
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: playoff football Saturday night?
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: You know the fever is high. I was thinking about this.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I was very fortunate in two thousand
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: and thirteen to be able to attend the Super Bowl.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: I had just a kind of parting of the schedule
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: see where we were playing in New York, and had
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: a full off day for that one. But I don't
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: think I've ever been to a home playoff game, so
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: that kind of adds a little bit to my level
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: of further, but it's to be able to get the
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Niners at home kind of to start, which will hopefully
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: be a nice little run here. I don't know if
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: it gets much better than that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: How much carries over from the I mean it was
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: even though the only one by ten, I mean, it
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: felt like you dominated the last time you face these guys,
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: and that's the last game you've played, and so how
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: much do you feel like it's going to carry over
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: We're going to see a similar type game.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Yes to no. I mean I think you have to
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: expect Shannahan is going to come out with a different
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: game plan. Obviously, he's one of it's not the best
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: in the business in terms of putting together offensive game
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: plans and taking advantage of whatever may be able to
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: be taken advantage of against the Seahawks defense. But you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: I think we're the better team. We've been the better
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: team all year, and I think it's I think it's
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: imperative that we come out early and establish that. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: you know, when a team's banged up, when they're on
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: the road, you don't want to give them any signs
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: of hope. And I think that's that's what I'm hoping
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: to see early and often on Saturday.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: All Right, what's that? What's the game that do you
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: envision then? As you're trying to race from Montlake to
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: downtown Seattle to Luman to get there in time to
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: get to your seats. What what are you picturing? How
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: does the game end up going Saturday night?
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: I'm optimistic, I think, you know, everyone. Not everyone, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: it seems like a lot of people are looking for Oh,
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: let's let's get the Rams, and it's like, you know,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: you got to take care of business first. This is
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: our rival, this's our division rival. But I'm optimistic and
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: I think it's a huge opportunity for sam Uh to
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: kind of put to bed this narrative that that he's
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: had chasing him. Maybe not his whole career because he
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: didn't play a lot of relevant football early, but in
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: the last few years that you know, when the big
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: game comes, he can be a reason the team wins
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: and not the other other way around.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: How do you address for this doubleheader?
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, are you gonna wear two different outfits in
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: the car or are you gonna wear pants?
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Or maybe you just go full Jermaine Curse so you
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: can just cover both the both stories. So well, I mean,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: how are you gonna do this?
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: I think, yeah, it's gonna have to be a Superman
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: type of situation. Uh, I was thinking about I was
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: thinking about doing a light rail. Uh, probably the path
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: of least least resistance. But I'm probably not the only
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: one with that idea. So yeah, we gotta we got
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: to figure out the logistics and the outfits. But good
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: problem to have.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good problem to have. Birthday girl going with you
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: taking a friend. How are you gonna try to pull
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: who who's your partner in crime?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: To pull this thing off?
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Or you just spoil their present? But like I said,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: she's she's still asleep, so I don't think I think
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: I'll be able to hold off until we until we
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: thro bo was the information.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: I can see you guys are rolling down there on scooters.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: I think you how about that like a line bike?
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, yeah, well we do we that's from Motley.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: It's full of comfort, you know, from Queen Anne ride
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: the momentum of the hill. But yeah, that's a problem
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: I got to solve.
• 17:05

  Speaker 7: a while, and he just can't help but throw thet Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: I went to the super Bowl, you know, twenty thirteen
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: super Bowl. Right, I'm surprised you didn't just go into
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: something like I threw the Oregon. You know, they've got
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: a couple of big, tough games before they get Oregon,
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: uh to come into over here at Montlake.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: He didn't buite.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Well, I thought he was gonna take it for sure. Yeah,
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: he usually can't. He can't contain himself. He is a
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: big time hater of the teams that I love.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I think he's a big time lover and he just
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: specifically hates certain things.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Uh, and that's that's interfere with the things he loves, right, exactly.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Hater of just not it's it's it's bred in him.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's told us the story of how he's
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: his disdain for Oregon and it's never gonna go anywhere.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, my grandmother is probably the sweetest person that
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I've ever known, and she hates terrorism as an example.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, there are certain things and I support are
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: quite the same, I don't think.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: But I see where you're going with.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: I don't really see where you're going. I see where
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: you're trying to go with it, you know, And what
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: is grammar?
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Fight?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Uh well grandma fight? Yeah, she hated terrorism as well. Yeah, yeah,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Grandma hated terrorism, similar Spencer hating. Probably she would have
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: been if she would have ever been exposed.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: To Yeah that makes sense people.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So, like you know that you can be a
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: wonderful person and if you hate the wrong things or
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the right thing, right, Uh, then I don't think that
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: takes away from how splendid a person you are.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: So like hating terrorism, right, that's okay, makes you a
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: great person.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Makes you a better person. Yeah, I agree.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Hating organ does not make you a better person, makes
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you a better person.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: We did get we get a.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Text on our brand new text line that has been
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: sponsored that I can't remember, but it's from Keith who said,
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: I could imagine Spencer on public transit would be pretty
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: discreet being seven foot tall, which was my first thought,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: him getting on the train.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I like that about him too. I don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: think he cares about that. I mean, I think that, uh,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: I think he handles that. He'd handle that really well.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: It's Tacoma Dodge.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: But text line, by the way, the Tacoma Dodge text line.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: That's that's what I meant.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: And you can just off the top of my head,
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: you can shop Tacoma Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram at the
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: corner of thirty eighth and South Tacoma Way.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Wow, the intersection of savings.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: You can do that.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I do love the see that's one thing you can love,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the intersection.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Of a place.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: I don't mind getting lost, right, and every hates getting lost.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: But if you all of a sudden look up and
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: you realize you're at Tacoma Dodge, and oh my god,
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: this is the intersection of savings right then you're like, yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if Spencer can pull the hat trick and be
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: at the UDUB game against Michigan State, Seahawks playoff game
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: against the Niners, and at some point the intersection of
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: savings plus Toyota than oh well, oh.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's money. He's really a Seattleite.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Prove it all right, come up next, Fred Warner may
• 21:07

• 22:07
  Speaker 4: this Friday from seven to nine pm. After Softy and Dick,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: we'll have Greg Bell on the airwaves for two hours
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: of concentrated Seahawks talk. And I would imagine one of
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: the topics will be whether or not Fred Warner's gonna play.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's gonna become a bigger and bigger and
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: bigger topic now that he said that's the plan.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm efforting toward.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: We just heard from Greg yesterday he'd talked to his
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: forty nine Ers buddies on the beat.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: They believe that the window opened to.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Try to get Fred Warner available to play next week
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: if they made the conference championship. But Fred Warner is
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: a phenomenal world class athlete and player, and obviously is
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: one hell of a fit dude, and so if he
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: sets his mind on playing on Saturday, I would think
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: there's a chance Fred Warner's playing on Saturday.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I've seen some videos, and I don't
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: know what is true anymore when you see videos online,
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: but I've seen some stuff. I don't think the one
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: you and I were talking about it of him scaling
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: a building was real. But I did see one of
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: them doing you know, some sort of like martial arts thing,
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: and it looked like he looked healthy. Now, healthy enough
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: to you know, kind of do a little dance around things.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: Some karate kicks. Is different than playing an NFL game.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: I'll just say from a guy that I broke my ankle. Now,
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I have not been able to find
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: out what bone in his ankle he broke. I brought
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: my main one, you think, So that's not good.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Like it's like there's like four the time you can't
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: go back.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: So that would be the talis bone, if that's what
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: it is, that's the one I broke. I don't know
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: if it's possible to come back from three in three
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: months from that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I'll just tell you this.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: It was when I got done, I ended up having
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: to screws and big. It was a surgery and the
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: recovery sucked, and the doctor goes in about twelve months,
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: you'll start to feel normal ish, but you'll realize it's
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: eighteen months before you actually feel like you're back to normal.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: That's so three months into a gruesome injury like he had,
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: it still seems far fast. Now he's a far better athlete,
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: and the medicines come a long ways in comparison to
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: you know, back when I did that to fifteen years
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: ago or so so back at the was it was
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: just seventeen ninety two, Yeah, was when I did it,
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: and they just basically rubbed dirt on it and some
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: donkey do.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I soaked it pretty much was my donkey do when
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I was in high school. I rubbed some dirt on it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I will say. The Fred Warner martial arts video is
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: also not him.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: That's not him.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: No, they tried to pass it off like it was him,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: but it's some martial arts.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Oh I see, Yeah, all right, so fun, Yeah, people
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: having fun on the internet.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, different things.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Look I mean, I mean, and then there's the element
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: of and he's missed almost the entire season.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I think he probably does give you an.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Upgrade over what you have if the coaching staff sits
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: there and says Fred's ready to play. That's one thing
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: in the NFL today. They don't send Jack Youngblood back
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: out onto the field with a broken leg. I mean,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: if you're ready to play, you're usually ready to play.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: So I think it would represent an upgrade. But it's
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: hard for me to believe that after missing an entire
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: season that Fred Warner is going to be Fred Warner.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: If he's rushing back from an injury, the timing can't
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: be one hundred percent Fred Warner. So yeah, I think
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: that it represents a possible upgrade at linebacker, and certainly
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: from a leadership standpoint for the San Francisco forty nine.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Ers, but it won't.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we're going to face actual Fred
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Warner on Saturday.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Even if he does strap it on in time for.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: The game, Well, yeah, I would imagine him and he
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: ends up saying in an article that nobody's one hundred
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: percent at this point in time. I'll get on that
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: table and get shot up and go out there and
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: be ready to roll between the years. I mean, I
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: don't remember what the exact thing was, but last week,
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: when the Eagles and Niners were playing, right when the
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: game started, the commentators are saying they're on their fifth, fifth, sixth,
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: and seventh linebackers.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, not a second string or third dring. You're
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: a fifth string, sixth string.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, so just getting him back, if he's you're
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: not expecting to be one hundred percent. You're definitely not
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: expect him to be in full blown game shape because
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: he hasn't been running and hitting and doing the things
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: that you do as a football player. But I still
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: think between the years and if you know, if he
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: needs to come out from time to time and they
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: put the person that's been playing in his position back
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: in there for to give him a breather, that's still
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: an upgrade. I would think even if he's at seventy
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: eighty percent.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Well, and in true Seattle sports, you know, lore, we
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: really love it when athletes come back from injury in
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: their first game is against our teams. Yeah, it works
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: out well usually for us. But I don't I think
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: this is obviously a little bit of a different injury
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: than a baseball player coming back and playing a game
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: when you've got Yeah, the things that Fred.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Warner I'd rather not play. I mean, I don't want
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: to find out the next forty eight.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm one of those that does like to
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: face the team at its best and let's see what happens.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: But in terms of trying to win the football game, yeah,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: you've got a better chance of winning the football game
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: if Fred Warner doesn't play. Whether he's on the sideline
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent or not. But he does speak to
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: the number. I mean, if you're talking fifth, sixth the
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: linebacker string, I mean, it just speaks to it. I mean,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: mikel Williams is out, Nick Bosa is out. They just
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: put that Bethune guy, which who played last week, uh
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: in place of Fred Warner. He got hurt last week.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: He's been placed on ir Kittles out. Obviously, I never
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: came back. Pierce All's questionable. D Winners is questionable, Jay R.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Brown's questionable. Their other outside linebacker, Luke Gifford is questionable.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, it just this, This speaks to what I
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: started the show with today. You just can't stack up
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: that many injuries and think that you're going to make
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: some deep run in the playoffs. They pulled off a
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: win against the Philadelphia Eagles team that seemed broken all
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: season long and couldn't quite get it together in time
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: for the playoffs. But when you're facing a team as
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: whole as what the Seahawks are and more rested and
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: kick the crap out of you the last time you
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: face them, just you know, eleven days ago, it's just
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: hard for me to believe you've got the Jimmies and
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Joe's to get this done. And yes, injuries are part
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: of the National Football League, So I would keep bringing
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: it up all year long about how healthy the Seahawks
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: seem to be. Knocked on the wood heading into the playoffs.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: It does matter, and it often gets underreported how much
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: it actually does matter. A lot of Super Bowl teams
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl because they were the healthier team
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: heading into the postseason, and that's kind of the position
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: that the Seahawks find themselves in. But something certainly to
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: keep an eye on. Fred Warner saying he's going to
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: try to play on Saturday, and we shall see all right.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Coming up next on the radio program, we got Cal
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Raleigh on today at nine o'clock. We're gonna talk some
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: football with Cal, but certainly some baseball as well. And
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: there are a couple of things in his world that
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: we should probably update you on. We'll do it next
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: twelve Man Round Table coming your way at eight o'clock
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: to nine o'clock.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Obviously a playoff edition.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: With our experts Greg and Hugh, but we also have
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Cal Raley.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Coming on today at nine o'clock.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: We're gonna talk some football. He's a big football fans.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: We'll talk some Seahawks football with Cal at nine, get
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: his thoughts on Saturday night's game, and we'll ask him
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: a baseball question or for as well. So that's coming up,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: big Dumper today at nine o'clock. You don't want to
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: miss that right here on Chuck and Buck, and I
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: got to ask him about Gabe Spyer joining him on
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: the US Olympic not Olympic team, but the World Baseball
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Classic team.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: He got the call, yeah, yesterday.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: He apparently he panicked, he like wet himself because he
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: missed Mark Durosi's call and he thought he'd blown his
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: opportunity to be on the team USA. And he called
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: back as soon as he could. And it turns out
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: your friend d Row was like, yeah, it's fine.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah we can call back.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't have to be waiting by the phone
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: every split second.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Glad you're working out.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: It's not like if you don't answer, Oh well, we
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: were going to offer you a spot.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: That's about else.
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wish Deiro would have played that game, like, dude, sorry,
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: I've already filled it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I found another lefty.
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: I want people that love America. R Smith actually little citizenship.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: He wants to come and play for the US. So
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: you lost your shot.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Sorry, but congratulations to Gabe. Apparently that meant a lot
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: to him to get name to that team. So we're
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: going to be represented well between Cal and Gabe. I'm
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: not sure the Mariners love their pictures being added to
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: these things, wouldn't imagine. Yeah, Drew incident still weighs heavy
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: in their minds and hearts over there.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: But maybe a reliever is a little.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Bit different, a little bit different of yeah, a threshold
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: of workload.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, hopefully he's ready to rock and roll when
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: it comes time to let it rip in that World
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Baseball Classic. Because yeah, I'm sure that the organizations like
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: don't hurt yourself all important does Oh yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: They don't like they probably don't even really like Cal.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: But there's no way that you can keep him away
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: from that.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: No, you can't keep any of them. They want to
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: go do it, then let him do it. Just be careful,
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: all right.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: The other thing I wanted to bring up since we're
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: on this topic, and we'll be diving right back into
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Seahawks heavy here for the last two hours of the show.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: The follow the bouncing ball.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: They say this all the time in hot Stove, And
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: we got to a great start, by the way, with
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: the hot Stove in the offseason, we had some really
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: interesting moves coming right out of the gates as soon
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: as the World Series ended, and then we got to
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: the holidays and it really slowed down to clog really
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: And now we're starting we're into the new calendar year.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: We're a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting for
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: goodness sake, and so it's time to start figuring some
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: of this stuff out. And every insider tells you that
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: once this ball drops, it will start an avalanche. Now,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: they said that about Kyle Schwarber before the holidays.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: And that didn't happen.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: But now with the time crunch that you're facing, it
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: does kind of feel like that's occurring. With Alex Bregman
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: going from Boston to Chicago. That was the Red Sox
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: plan A was to bring back Alex Bregman. So they
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: had all this money set aside to bring back Alex Bregman,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: and they end up getting out bid by the Cubs
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: and they lose them. But they still got the money,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: and so they decided to spend it not on a
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Bregman replacement, but on a starting pitcher. So yesterday they
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: signed Ranger Suarez away from the Philadelphia Phillies. I don't
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: know how much the Philadelphia Phillies. We're entertaining the idea
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: of keeping Ranger Suarez. But once you lose that, now
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, well, we've got that money now
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: to spend. And we were already in on Bob Baschett.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Let's up our offer to Bo Baschett. So Bob Baschhett
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: next thing. You know, this hasn't happened yet, those other
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: two things have happened. He now possibly goes from Toronto
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: to Philly, where rumor has it that that's where he
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: wants to go anyway. And then all of a sudden,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: here's where the Mariners kind of come into play, because
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Philadelphia has Trey Turner at shortstop They've got Bryce and
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Stott at second base. The only guy on their infield
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: they don't really love. If they signed Bob Baschett, is
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: their third basement Aleck Bohm. So if Bashett's being brought
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: into play third base, where does Boem play? He's already
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: been a trade candidate out there to begin with. This
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense follow the balancing ball. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: think he makes a lot of sense for the Mariners
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: here as a trade candidate. You get a third basement
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: on the last year of his deal. It's only ten
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: million dollars because he's on his last year of his deal.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: You don't have to give up a great prospect, probably
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: a good one, in order to land a viable was
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: an All Star two years ago third baseman that you
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: can put over there and pull a Josh Naylor. If
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: he ends up being highly successful and highly loved and
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: he loves the Seattle, then you sign him long term
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: in the offseason. But this might be this might be
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: an answer in this riddle of what the Mariners are
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: going to do for that extra bat. It certainly won't
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: hit them hard financially, it won't cost them too much
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: in a trade package, and it does upgrade the position,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: and if he does have a deficiency, it's defensively. But
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: we've got the best infield coach in the world, so
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I think we'll get a better version of him on
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: the field.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: I would be down with, yeah, getting Perry Hill to
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: turn because he's athletic. I mean, he's he's a good athlete,
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: and I like the way that he approaches hitting and
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: he's not on a swing out of his butt type
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: of a guy. He's a guy that tried to put
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: the ball in play. Now he has some power and
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: like you said, just what twenty twenty four is when
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: he made the All Star team, right, And so I'd
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: be down with that. It feels it. It does feel
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: very seattley where you're not paying a ton. He is
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: kind of a rental. But if you traded for him,
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: you'd get him for the full season. But because he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: only got one year left, you're not gonna have to
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: give up a bunch of prospects for him.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: I'm down with that.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: I'm sure that they've probably given a phone call about that.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: If the Phillies are interested, which we know they have
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: been for a couple of years.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: I think he was the third overall pick in the draft.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was drafted that high because he's supposed
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: to have power. And even though he's six foot five
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: inches tall and was in the home run derby just
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: two years ago showing how easy he can hit a
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: ball out of the yard, he's capped out at twenty
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: home runs so far in his career. But he's a
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: two to eighty career hitter. He had forty four doubles
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: two seasons ago, And you know, maybe it's a slight adjustment,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: maybe it's something Kevin Side says that truly unlocks his power, because,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: believe me, the Phillies have been waiting for that that
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: power to get unlocked. They drafted him because they thought
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: he was going to be a monster power hitter for them.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: They raised him as a monster power hitter. But he's
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: kind of got stuck in this line drive mode, which
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: is not a bad place to be. I'll take two
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: to eighty with forty doubles for this upcoming season, but
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I do believe the potential is there, maybe with slight adjustment,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: maybe with a different set of eyeballs, that you can
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: truly unlock this guy's power once and for all.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: Well, Yeah, it's there. Like you said, he's six or five.
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: We saw him in the home run derby a couple years ago,
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: and he has enough power to do it. He chooses
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: to try to be more of a hitter. Now what
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: the perfect Everybody wants their cake and eat too. I
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: want a guy that can hit for a decent average,
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: can spray the ball around the entire ballpark and then
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: you know, pops more than twenty home runs would be nice.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: There's a few of those out there. Maybe he is
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: one of those guys. Maybe he can figure that out.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: It was twenty eight is when I was starting to
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: figure you know, twenty six, twenty seven when I started
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: to figure it out. So he still is young enough
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: that he could make a little slight adjustment and all
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: of a sudden start popping the ball out of the
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: yard a little bit more of it. I'll take fifteen
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: homers and forty doubles and hit two eighty.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would too, plug that right here, Yeah for sure.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: So something maybe to keep an eye on as the
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: balls now started to bounce and people are having to
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: move on to plan b's out there. It might open
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: up something for a mariner's trade here in the next
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: week or so all right? Coming up next twelve Man
