• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah Terials.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Seems like one of the finishing touches of this offense
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: has arrived. Late last night at the Minnesota Vikings agreed
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: to terms with former forty nine Ers standout Juwan Jennings,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: one of the top free agents available. He signs a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: one year, eight million dollar deal deal that can be
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: up to worth up to thirteen million dollars an incentive.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: This deal, done by agent Drew Rosenhaus, brings to a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: conclusion a long long wait for Juwan Jennings, was thought
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to be one of the top receivers in free agency,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: just did not materialize. The Minnesota Vikings quickly swooped in
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: again conversations. He eventually visited in about a week or
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: so later a Greek to terms. He now joins Justin
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Jefferson Jordan Addison in a really good wide receiver room
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: for JJ McCarthy or or Kyler Murray or whoever is
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: their starting quarterback.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: By good morning, it is Chuck and Ashley with you
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck of the Morning Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. For those of you joining us maybe
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: for the first time. Ashley's nickname is not.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Buck Yeah, No, it's actually Yeah it's not.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have another guy on the show, Bucky Jacobson,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: who's been out on medical leave out for a little
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: while longer. And so you got Chuck and Ashley in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: half for a few days now. So welcome into the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: radio program. We roll into the seven o'clock hour. In
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a matter of moments, Mariner's pitching coach, Pete Woodworth is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: going to join us on the radio show from the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: South side of Chicago. But let us start with your headlines.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport working hard at his new job at ESPN,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: breaking stories left and right, including last night's Juwan Jennings story.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The former now San Francisco forty nine er wide receiver
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: signed a one year deal with the Minnesota Vikings last night,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and so the forty nine ers lose a veteran. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we didn't seem to have too much trouble with him
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this past year. Kind of locked him down, kind of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: frustrated the heck out of him. But we have had
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: some trouble with that guy in the past. I'm glad
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he's out of the division.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't need him here. Farewell to see him
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: twice a year.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Farewell do you want also from your headlines the NFL.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to visit Pittsburgh this weekend and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it looks like he will visit the Steelers facility. It's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: not just to go on a tour of the Hinz
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: catchup factory. He is going to visit the Steelers facility
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and probably agree to a deal. So it looks like
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he'll remain the Steelers quarterbacks. NFL refs did not as
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: far as I could tell. They were supposed to vote
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: last night to ratify their new agreement to wipe out
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: any thought of having replacement officials this year. But I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: don't see anywhere where that has been a story. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: get on at Rapaport. Yeah, lazy son of a gun.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, but I'm sure it will get done eventually.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs last night, Detroit and Okase are both up
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: two to ozho and their series they're in the same
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: position the New York Knicks are in. They'll take on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the field of healthy seventy six ers, but for the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: first time in Philly starting tonight. San Antonio and Minnesota
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the only series right now that's one to one and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that will They will play Game number three tonight in Minneapolis.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: In the WNBA, the regular season opens tonight. Three games
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on the docket. Connecticut Sun versus New York Liberty is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the first game of the year. Only three games on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: opening night, and the Storm will play one of them.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: They will host the Golden State Valkyries tonight at seven o'clock. Meanwhile,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the big feature attraction tomorrow in opening weekend for the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: WNBA is Dallas at Indiana, So that'll be Paige Becker's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and Az Fudd making her debut taking on a healthy
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark and I think a healthy Sophie Cunningham. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: think she's back and ready to go for the Indiana Fever.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So the WNBA season gets underway this evening. Stanley Cup
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: playoffs last night, just one game and the Carolina Hurricanes
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: just absolutely worked their opponent again, made the Flyers so angry.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: The Flyers just started throwing fists at them. But Carolina
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: whooped up on Philly by a final score of four
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to one. They are up three to zero in that series,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: looking very much like it's going to be Carolina versus
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Colorado in the Stanley Cup Finals this year. They seem
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to be dominating the playoffs right now and in Major
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. The Mariners will be in Chicago tonight, game
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: one of a weekend series against a new and improved
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: White Sox team. First pitch will be at four point forty.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Sean Burke, with a two point seven to two ERA,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: will start for the White Sox. Going for the Ms
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: will be Emerson Hancock, who we want to be in
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the starting rotation forever, and joining us now to discuss this.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show the very talented,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the very entertaining Pete Woodworth, pitching coach for your Seattle Mariners.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, Good morning. How are you doing. How
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: are things in Chicago?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: It's very seattle y, Yeah, a little uh oh, a
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: little overcast, middle little drizzly.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You and the coaching staff go out of the town
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: getting a knife fight or anything like that. Last night.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Nineteen twenty Chicago, do any bootlegging?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You an actor? Last night.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: We got our moonshin.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You know what. I just called up your Wikipedia page
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just to see if I would see anything on there
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to ask you about, and it just
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: struck me. You are thirty seven years old. I mean,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: when did you start this job? Doogie? I get what
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: were you like fourteen when you started with the Mariners.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I was, I was reading at an early age.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I was in the fifth grade reading at a twelfth
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: grade level. Thirty seven years old. You know what that means.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You're too young to even know the doogie howser reference.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: But when that's not true, me and Neil Patrick Harris,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: we go way back.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, good good, I'm glad. I mean put this into perspective.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You You've not You're not just some first year pitching coach.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You've been with the Mariners for quite a while now.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Justin Verlander is forty three. When Justin Verlander was a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: senior and he's still pitching in the majors. You as
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a pitching coach, you were in the sixth grade. Pete,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's how young you are. Just wanted to put that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in perspective for you. Yeah, that was that was fraction
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the year. All right, good year. Yeah, that was a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: good year. Well, we're glad to have you. And you're
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: not even to your prime yet as a pitching coach.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So oh, now that I know that, I think even
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that much more of you. Uh well, I got to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: ask you a few questions. I don't know what answers
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you can give me, but I got to ask them anyway. So, Okay,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: what is going on with your starting rotation? What can
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you tell us about Bryce Miller coming back to the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: roster and how that might affect your rotation three the fifth?
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: The rotation I just coach him, so I can I
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: can give you some insight on on what they look like.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't think you were going to tell us. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: didn't think you're gonna break news with us this morning.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But I can't not ask you because it's all we're
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: talking about here in Seattle.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Mmm. Yeah, it's a it's a good, good problem to
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: have you walk out into your garage and you say,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: which one of my Lamborghinis am I going to drive today?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: It's a it's a great issue to have.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, can't.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I don't have much more information on the other than
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: we have six Lamborghinis that are fueled up. I did
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: get to see Bryce the other night pitching ever it. Yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: he's trending in the right direction. He didn't strike out
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: as many eighteen year olds as I thought he would.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the stuff looks really good and he feels
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: really good, which is obviously the most important part coming
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: through a rehab, all right.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So I got that, Yeah, you can.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Go out there and compete and afterwards you don't feel
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: any pain or discomfort, all right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So now I got to get creative with how I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: ask this, because I certainly don't want to put you
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in a pinch, and I don't want long pregnant pauses
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in our conversation. So as do you have such a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: good group that if one of them was asked to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: go to the bullpen for a while of the sixth
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that that would be fine with them. Yeah, they'll still pitch, okay,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: all right, they won't quit the team one of the.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: They won't start a two. One of one of the
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: best things I've heard guys say throughout the years is
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that the more they realized that the the number ending
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: doesn't really matter, okay, like whether it's the first or
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the fourth, or the sixth or the ninth. Once they
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: realize that, like it doesn't matter what number the ending is,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: every ending is the same. You have to get three
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: guys out. They're either right handed or they're left handed.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: The score doesn't matter.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: The time of day, Like it's if you can boil
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: it down to its its simplest gain, Like it's you
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: versus a hitter, it's you executing pitches to get three
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: guys out. If you can do that, it doesn't really matter.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And the more we they put pressure on different innings
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: or different situations or different environments, they're just adding more
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: to their plate that's unnecessary. So I've I've found that
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: the guys that that do this job the best are
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: the guys that really simplify it down to that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm going to ask this, and again
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think this puts you in any kind of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hot water here. What would the effect of a six
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: man rotation be? What? What are the potential problems with
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: asking all of your guys to change their routines? If
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: any Maybe there aren't any problems. Maybe it would be
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: perfectly fine with everybody. I don't know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: We haven't really done one since it was that twenty twenty. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: and then that was one veteran and five.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You know, young.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Kids, and I know you and may only be thirty seven,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: but that feels like twenty years ago.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We did that. I don't really remember eons of it,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: but but I mean, guys are such I mean, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: know how you know, locked into routines, especially the modern
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: picture is and so if you're suddenly just disrupting all
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of their routines a little bit, do you see that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: as something that would be a problem only if you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: make it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: We had we had a group of sleep experts come
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: into BRING training this year and tell us, you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: obviously sleep is one of the most important things, one
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: of the most important factors in mental health, physical health
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: as well. Uh and is telling us that the most
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: important factor of sleep is is going to bed at
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: the same time every night, and like having that routine.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Easy to do.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Everybody Everybody's looking around the room, like this guy has
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: no idea what our schedule is, Like does he?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: There's no chance you could go to bed.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: At the same time three nights, So we with with
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: our wacky schedule and travel. So yeah, like routines are important,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: but I get like, if you get so rigid and
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: stuck and strict in this routine, I have to do this,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: it has to be at this time, and then when
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: it doesn't, you freak out like you're you can't form.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Ut at this level.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: So to have to have variability, to be able to adjust,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: that's one of the key components of successful players. Our
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: guys can can bounce around, they'll be fine.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm getting the impression that maybe sixth man
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: rotations not in the cards, or is it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: A possibility I'm pushing for like a ten man rotation?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Just fine, Fine, the more the better. I want Revas
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: pitching every tenth day. That's what.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Hey, don't sleep on the short, low slot up shoot pitchers.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: They're going to take over the world here in the
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: next couple of years.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: That's the category. Yeah, okay, fine, Pete woods that was
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: a low blow. Pete Woodworth is with us pitching for
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: your Seattle Mariners. All right. So why is Emerson Hancock
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: having this season? What changed about him since last we
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: saw him.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Since the end of twenty five. Yes, I think the
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: second half of twenty five started to put in motion
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and really like plant seeds of true real self confidence.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: And I you know, I feel like we talk about
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: this every time we.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Talk, but guys finally figuring out that they.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Belong, Guys that finally figuring out that they're good enough,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Guys that get over that hump of of the first
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: year or two of.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Self doubt.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Of the novice, you know, freshman sawt more mistakes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: That all kind of culminated in the in.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: The second half last year, and he looked in the
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: mirror and is it's comfortable with who he is and started,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: you know, not trying to impress other people and not
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: trying to be somebody else and just be Emerson Hancock.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: And then all the gears started fitting together. And next thing,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: you know, you're having success, and that breeds confidence, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: then the confidence breeds more success, and that it just
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: keeps it going and going. And he had a great
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: off season where this all kind of came together and
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: showed up the spring just in a in a good
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: spot and ran with it and hasn't stopped.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And he had a dad's string. Yeah that always helped. Yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it seems to Yeah, it seems to.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Uh, Louis, I'm excited for for jose for to come back.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, is that happening soon? Here?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: He has a baby coming soon, so he might be
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: throwing one hundred and ten.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't wait till cal starts having kids. He
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: needs more power. Pete Woodworth is with us here on
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: chucking buck in the morning. All right, So Emerson's look
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: great we've explained the reasons Luis Castillo has not looked
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: as great. All right, what is what's the difference? What's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: what's wrong, if anything with the rock.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Right now, there's nothing wrong with the rock. The rocks.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: The rock's throwing better than he did last year. It's
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: been an unlucky month for him. It's not what it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: not what he wants to hear.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It's not what anybody wants to hear.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: But unfortunately, that's a part of our game, especially as
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: a pitcher.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But on both sides of the ball, Like you can you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Can throw the perfect pitch and the guy can still
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: hit it. You can pitch in good counts and still
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: give up runs. You can you can fit ninety five
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: ninety six and the stuff be just as good, if
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: not better than it was last year. But you just
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: don't get the results. And we've you know, you see
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: that with hitters that are going through slumps, that are
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: swinging at good pitches, that are you know, putting the
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: barrel on the ball when they do swing at good pitches,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: and unfortunately there's just guys that are standing where it
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: is for for that period of time. Yeah, that's that's
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: the tough part about this game is you could be
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: doing things right and still fail, and five days later
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: you have to go back out there and and not
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: fight those demons, but continue to do what you're doing
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: without the distraction of Okay, I have to be better
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: than last time. You know, these first couple haven't been
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: going well, so now I have to I have to
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: throw twelve shutout innings. I have to, you know, guys
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: fall in the traps, we're like, okay, this is this
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: is this is my era in April or to get
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: this down to this, I have to do it like no,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: just continue attacking zone, continue winnings in one ones, continue
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: executing pitches.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: The game will reward.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: You at the end of the day, at the end
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: of the season. Why we play one hundred and sixty two.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: There's too much luck involved at times to look at
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: a small sample and say this is the final product.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And his name is the Rock for a reason, not
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: because he has tough skin or because he's extremely heavy
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: and dense.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: No, hes Wayne Johnson.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: He has way more hair than Dwayne.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Not even close.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Really, he's they've played two different games. He's the most
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: consistent professional athlete I've seen. Yeah, and he's gone through through,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: you know, little ruts like this in the past. There's
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: no panic. I mean, it's obviously not thrilled about the results.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: But he knows who he is. He knows that he's
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: executing pitches, and he's doing everything he can not to
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: try to panic and overdo stuff. And that's why he's
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: the rock. He's extremely consistent.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I think that a lot of Mariner fans a little
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: worried about Munyos in the same ways I am not
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: at all. And yet he's even professed that he's lost
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a little he lost a little bit of the command
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of his slider, the feel for his slider. Does he
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: have it back? Soothe the worries of our listening audience
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that Andre's munos is just fine.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: The same thing like Nick Kurtz and Matt Olsen get
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: two good sliders to Dead Center and T Mobile Park. Yeah,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: we need to get a little uh, the little chicken,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: the sacrificial chicken. It's another guy that like he's to
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: execute good pitch, hit and guys a hit like I
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: have never seen a guy hit that pitch off.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: That guy.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: He's he's being challenged, he's being tested.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: H And I've I've always told me, like Mooney.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Has to do it in the in the toughest circumstance,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: UH starters you have, you have five or six innings,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: you can you can give up a solo home run
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: here there. Shoot Low gave about three in one inning
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: and we still threw the ball well and we won
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: that game. But in a one run game in the
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: ninth inning, one pitch UH can be the determining factor.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: And again it's not always about did you execute it,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: it's did Matt Olson, on an absolute bender of a
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: first month of the season go down and hit one
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: of the best sliders on the planet the Centerato. Sometimes
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: he's got to tip your cap. He's had a couple
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: a couple outings where he's gotten himself into trouble. But again,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: like the stuff is fine. He's not commanding anywheres or
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: better than he has in the past. The results just
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: aren't perfect like they have been. So again he's being
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: tested to trust himself and the trust this stuff and
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: to not let his confidence be affected by a couple
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: pitches here and there.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Fascinating good stuff, good stuff. So Chicago South, We're you
• 21:54

• 23:44
  Speaker 4: that started there. So I always enjoy coming to Chicago

• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Mike Wallace asked questions, and we'll bug you another time.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: All right, you got it. Always a pleasure, all right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Thanks guys. All Right, there he
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: is Pete Woodworth, pitching coach for your Seattle Mariners, joining
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: us here on the radio program. That was like surgery
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: He was prepared.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think he gave us answers. It didn't
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: sound like he gave us answers, but I think he
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: gave us answers. I was going to talk about the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: NCAA tournament next, but I don't think we can. I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: think we've got to react to what I believe I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: picked up on. Okay, and maybe what you picked up
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: on as well. But man, I love that guy. Pete
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Woodworth joining us right here on Sports Radio ninety three
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. Coming up on the show. We've got
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the Oat Show. You're on this Friday at eight o'clock.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: You're eight top stories of the day, also the ABC's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: of the MS and Booze News before it comes to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a close here today on this Friday. You're just joining us.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You missed our conversation we just had with Pete Woodworth,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a pitching coach for the Seattle Mariners, And obviously we
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: got a pretty juicy sports radio topic going on here
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. What they're going to do
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: once Bryce Miller does come back from his rehab, which
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: sounds like he's ready to come back. Sounds like his
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: outing and Everett was enough for the Mariners to get
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: ready to activate him going forward. He won't have one
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: more tune up. It doesn't sound like in Tacoma, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: now they've got to make that decision. It's a great
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: problem to have, but they have to make that decision.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: So we just had Pete Woodworth on and I hope
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: people can't appreciate the dynamic. I thought. I loved that interview. Yeah,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: loved that interview. And not just because I'm a big
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: fan of Pete, and not just as a pitching coach,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: but as a person.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: He's awesome.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We have had a lot of laughs over the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: years with him, and and he's got this just chill
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: personality that is just fantastic. But understand the difficult position
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that he's in. He can't answer anything about it's not
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: his job.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: It's stepping set the rotation or the lineup.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It's stepping on the toes of Dan Wilson, it's stepping
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: on the toes of Justin Hollander, it's stepping on the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: toes of Jerry Depoto. They haven't announced to us what
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: they want to do for reasons. They want to make
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that announcement themselves. So if Pete Woodworth comes on and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: as good a relationship as we have with Pete and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: just start singing about, oh this is what we're gonna do. Yeah,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that's not known a fly, nor did we expect that
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to happen. And I also had to ask the questions
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: because it's he's the pitching coach and we've been talking
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: about this pitching such could you imagine I did an
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: interview with him and never brought that stuff up. That'd
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: be weird, And so he had He's not a pr firm,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: he's a pitching coach, and so he's trying to Number One,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I want to give you something, but you know I
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: can't give you what you want, So how do we
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: want to navigate this? So if you heard some hesitation
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: to me, the hesitation and the delays was the beautiful
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: part of it because it was him trying to like,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: all right, how do I want to say this? I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: loved it. I was like on the edge of my
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: seat interviewing him, like what is he going to tell us?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And I think he did tell us some things, not
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a lot. He wasn't direct, right, but you know, when
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you ask about a six man rotation, he's not worried.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He made it very clear that some of the things
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: that I voiced that I'm concerned about. The pitching coach
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: is not concerned about that at all, and he.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Would know best.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, certainly, I mean he's pitching coach. Yeah yeah,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and he knows how these guys operate. To me, I'm
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: a little worried about messing up all of their routines
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: because I've seen a group of guys that when they
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: get a rain delay, stink that night, or if they
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: get thrown out of their rhythm at all, they don't
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: seem to pitch as well. And yet he says, I mean,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and he knows them intimately, that's not a concern. That's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: not a concern for us. So I suppose six man
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: rotations on the table, but I didn't get the impression
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: during the course of the interview that they are going
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to do that. If they did that, Pete's not worried
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: of the impact it's going to have on the six starters.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: But I don't know about you, Ashley, but I got
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the impression that it's going to be sort of a
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: piggyback situation. And I don't know which guy is going
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to be which two are going to be chose to piggyback.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But when he goes out of his way to suggest
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: that pitchers don't really care when they this group, they
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: don't really care when they pitch. They just want to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: get the guy out and they just want to help
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the team win. So when he says that, it I
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: kind of deduced, and if this is unfair, Pete, I'm sorry.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I kind of deduced from him trying to avoid the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: question directly that two guys are going to be piggybacked,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: as Ryan Divish has been suggesting. Two guys are going
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to be piggybacked in this situation, and both of them
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: will be fine with doing that. So I hope it's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: not Emerson. To me, the only decision is Castile and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Miller is that who That's who you do it with,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: So Castile probably starts and then Miller is your long reliever.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And hey, I think there's some benefits to if you
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: could pull this off. I mean, if you have an
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: opportunity once every five days to sit your entire bullpen,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: can you imagine what kind of rest, what kind of
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: relief that would be for Dan, who seems to really
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: struggle with when to pitch guys out of the bullpen
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and when to give them a day off, if he
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: had one built in day where pretty much it's Castill
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: for five, I've and Miller for four, or the next
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: time it's Miller for five and Castillo for four. If
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that's true, then I mean, even though it's unorthodox, I'd
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: never seen anybody do it, not at the major league level,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and stuff you did in the Little league because you
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: could only pitch four innings when I was in the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Little league and then the other guy had to pitch three.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen it at the major league level,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: but I could. I'm squinting to see the merits in
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: such a thing, and if you could pull it off,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: if you could execute it, it certainly would help the bullpen,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: especially in its current beleaguered state with two of its
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: five best guys on the IL.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could definitely see the merits of it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: I could definitely see if it was going to happen,
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: that it would be Castillo and Miller for sure, and
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: I would be okay if that was their solution.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I Mean, the one thing I took away for sure.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Is that these guys are all aware of the situation
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: and that Miller is coming back, and they all want
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: to help this team win.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was what I got from it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: There's no worrying about hurt feelings or getting hurt feelings.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: They don't care when they pitched or what they do,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: as long as they just care about the out. That
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: to me says we've talked to these guys. They're up
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: for whatever the plan is going to be, and all
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: they care about is when it's their time going out
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: there and getting the outs.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: If there was anything that surprised me, I was not
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: surprised at all about the Munnos answer, because that's the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: way exactly how I feel. That's the way I have
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: positioned it on our radio station now for most of this,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: for all of the season. And yet for him to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: be as emphatic as he was about Castillo's fine.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he said he's even pitching better this or throwing
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: better this year than he was last year.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I don't see that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: I didn't either, so I you know, I'm I don't
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: know if that's just rallying to the to the Rocks
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: defense because they all love him so much.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: But I did. I did suspect that I was going
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: to hear we're going to stick by him. We're certainly,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you know, but I didn't expect it to be that emphatic,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: like to go as far as saying, I don't see
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: him struggling when he has a six and a half
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: YRA and his velocity is down and he's terrified to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: challenge anybody, so he works two inches outside the strike
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: zone no matter where he throws the ball. To me,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: those are things that are worriesome to me. That suggests
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: that maybe there's not enough faith. But that answer of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: we call him the rock for the read for a reason.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: It's not because of how he's built. It is because
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: of how steady and consistent he is as a pitcher
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and a human being and a professional athlete at all
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: times in everything that he does. So the pitching coach
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: is seeing what he needs to see out of Luis
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Castillo right now. So any thought that Luis Castillo was
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: going to get ripped from a significant role on this
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: pitching staff, that if he said anything, he demolished and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: he thought of that, Luis Castillo is not going to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: be put in some uncomfortable, you know, mop up role
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen to make room for Bryce Miller coming
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: off the injury list and to keep Emerson Hancock in
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the starting rotation. So it sounds to me like one
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: person or a combination of two people in one spot
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: are going to be asked to perform some sort of
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: bullpen roll. And it kind of feels like it's going
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: to be that piggybecks because he said he did say
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: as long as they get in their work. Well, that
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean Bryce Miller comes up here and suddenly is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: pitching the seventh inning, right, It means he's going to
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: have to get in his work. He's going to have
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: to work a bulk of time in the starting rotation.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like that's where they're going to go
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: with this. That's what I gleaned from the interview. I'm
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: just hoping, hoping that the decision is not that Emerson
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Hancock is taken out of the role that he's delivering,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: because I need more than four or five innings every
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: five days out of the guy that's pitching the best
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: on our.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Team right now, Yeah, it would.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: I mean him and George Kirby are pitching the longest
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: outings too, So yeah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I found that fascinating. Yeah, And I know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and I know that there were some pauses, and I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: know that there was some well and part of.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: It, I will say too, is sometimes on the phone.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: There is just a pause in the connection, and so
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: there was that added. So it made it sound more dramatic.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: But no, he wasn't just you know, some people were like, oh,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: he's just not wanting to talk. No, there's a pause
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: on the phone. There was a delay because you can
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: even tell at the end when he said bye and
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: then it was hey bye.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: You know there's sometimes that happens on the phone. Sometimes
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: it doesn't. I don't know why.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it added to it because I'm like,
• 34:56

  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's romance.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Uh so, Ojoe at eight o'clock. This is this little
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I got to talk about this a little bit more
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: before we run out of time today. I finished the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: show with it yesterday. I'm like, that was a mistake
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to try to squeeze that into one minute, So now
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna squeeze it into four perfect Yeah. I think
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: college football and basketball coaches rank among the biggest cowards
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: out there in sports. And I know I'm not saying
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: that as human beings necessarily, but in terms of their
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: professional position, position of power, yeah, they I mean, I've
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: never seen millionaires so scared of the boss calling them
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: into their office than I have with this group of people,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: so confident most of the time, I mean swagger to spare,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and yet they will spend this entire season taking their
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: little cheap shots at things they don't like about college
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: athletics and their press conferences, and they'll bring it up
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: in interviews. But in the off season, when the NCAA
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: is trying to do something stupid, they are nowhere to
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: be found. They hide underneath their desks because they just
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: want to take their little cheap shots. During the season.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I don't like nil, I don't like the transfer portal
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: being so easy to access, and so instead of creating
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: a united front and trying to actually use their collective
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: power to fight it, they leave it to fans and
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: talk show hosts to do all the talking, and they
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: just cash their paychecks and then complain when things aren't
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: going the way that they want it to go. I
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: heard earlier this week a bunch of powerhouse anonymous college
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: coaches did an interview about how they don't want to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: select a seventy sixteen tournament. Why do you need to
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: be anonymous? Why don't you get together? The fans don't
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: want it. It's got clear money, greb. We think it's disgusting. Yep,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: we like the sixty fourteen tournament. We never wanted it
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: to change. Most of us correct. And yet if you
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: don't want it, we don't have the power that you have.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: All of us combined don't have the power of Mike Skrzyzewski.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I know he's not even a coach anymore, but a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: lot of all of us combined have the power of
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: John Klapari. If you all got together and said no,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: we're not doing it, Yeah, we're not going to play,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: They're not going to do it right, And so instead
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you want to hide because I couldn't possibly get fined.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I only make nine million a year, and then with
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: endorsements probably thirteen to fifteen million a year. I mean,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: what if they find me one hundred thousand dollars.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be able to buy groceries for a week.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, even Nick Saban never said he just
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: took his pot shots in his press conference. Y Nick
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Saban's got the most swagger of any human being I
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: think we've ever met. And he's great and he's smart,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and everybody respects him. The NCAA would probably crumble at
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: his feet. Yeah, and yet these guys can't get together
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and say we don't like this, we're not doing it
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: because they have the power to do that. Stop being cowards.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: No, I and I agree.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: When you first said it yesterday, I was like, oh gosh,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: what how are they cowards? And then I mean it
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: makes total sense. You have so much opportunity to make
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: college football how you want college football or basketball or
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: college athletics to be. But you guys have not said
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: a thing about the way NIL has been.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Oh what if I get foled out?
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: So the fans, you know, unfortunately are the they they
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: are the victims kind of of the way college football
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: has turned. And then the yeah media is the one
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: speaking out and call it in. College coaches are just like, oh, well,
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to say anything, at least not publicly,
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: and then I'm just gonna like Nick Saban I said
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: he quit. Obviously he retired, but he didn't want to
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: deal with it anymore. Well, you could have stood up
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: you could have gotten your front buddies together and stood
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: up to it.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: You could have said.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: Something instead of letting the n C two A, especially
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: in football, just run rampant with and even if you
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: transfers and nil, even if.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: You couldn't have stopped it, how about just voicing strongly
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: that I don't like it, we don't want it. Why
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: are we doing this? Yeah?
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: And out of control? This shouldn't be falling on us.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Instead we just have to hear like nobody wants this. Yeah,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: but if you don't want to do something about it,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen a group so lily livered
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: in my entire life. Stop hiding under your expensive desks,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: yeah you know, stop hiding behind a wall of your
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: own cash, and get out there and say something and
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: fight for fans of your sport. Who really are the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: ones that pay your salary? Yeah? Why do you leave
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it to us, the impotent masses, when you, the powerful few,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: have every opportunity to curb some of the stuff that
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: nobody wants. The only people that want it are the NCAA.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: The only people they'll crumble to are you. And yet
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: you say nothing, nothing, and when it matters, and then
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: you just want to complain all season long because your
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: record's not as good as it should be and you
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: need something to blame. Yeah, basically OHO's next. Sports Radio
