  Speaker 4: It is Chuck and Ashley with you here on this Friday.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: We get ready to roll into our seven o'clock hour.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It is fantastic to have you with us. What a
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: night last night in the NBA and the NHL playoffs,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: all sorts of upsets, stuff that we just did not
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: see coming.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And yet man, it went down last night.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Speaking of going down, did we get any comments on
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: the text line about other people who were actually popular
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: and desirable.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: And actually making out in the back of the bus
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: was a thing? Nick says there was a reason there
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: were so many blankets in the back six rows of
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: the track. Bush forty five said, I wasn't popular in
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: high school, but my girlfriend always snuck back to my
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: seat to make out well, popular enough to have a girlfriend, bro, that's.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, and it sounds like sounds like she was
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: into you. Uh you don't, you got a risk attention.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: That's the truth.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Just for some average Joe, I'll tell you that much.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: And the three six says, yes, Chuck, it even happened
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: here in Washington State. And I will tell you from
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: personal experience, the bus driver can hear everything that goes
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: on in the back of the bus because it all
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: just comes shooting right up along the side walls near
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: his ear.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they stop us doing that? They they were
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: were they sick?
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: You weren't yelling on the bus at that point, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: they're like, that's fine, just keep going.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You're probably right. Yeah, but you know that the coaches knew.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, the coaches job, not the bus driver's job.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I think the coaches are just kind of like, I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: gonna let yeah, boys be boys back on that day,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, But but there was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the cheerleading coach was on the bus too, and then
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you got the bus driver and they're basically just all
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: sick boyears.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: I think maybe maybe especially in Illinois.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Especially in Illinois, Oh, boy, you can't. You can't swing
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a cat without hitting a weirdo in Illinois.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: If I had a dollar.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: All right, good morning to you all.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: The highlight you heard from Sportsnet last night the Anaheim
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Mighty Ducks with Mike Trout, you know, in the stadium
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: in the arena last apparently big Ducks fan, big hockey fan,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: that guy.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does make sense. Yeah, he can't watch his flyers.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: I really liked though that in the highlight, how the
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: announcer was like, you know, the crowd's waited eight long years.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: For this, We're gonna let them take you to the finish.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: And then they just stopped talking and it was just
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: for the last fifteen seconds, just the crowd, Yeah, getting
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: hyped af Yeah, before that horn went off.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I liked that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I was like, hey, good call on that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Crazy crazy night in the in the NBA and the
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: NHL playoffs.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, the.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Dallas Stars go down in the first round, the Edmonton
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Oilers go down in the first round, and we've come
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to expect that in the NHL playoffs. But to couple
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: it with the Denver Nuggets, a three seed facing a
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: six seed who was without three of their double digit
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: per game scorers during the season, and then to for
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: the Timberwolves to rise up without Edwards available to them
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: for most of this series and not only take out
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets, but to do it in six games last
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: night they only had eight players. That was one of
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: the great efforts that you're ever going to see in
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: professional sports that they summoned the energy and the toughness
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and the tenacity to pull off that upset. So good
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: on the Timberwolves. Good on the state of Minnesota. They
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: pulled off upsets. What a night for them, What a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: night for Minnesota.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I hope they had two TVs or they were real pissed.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I bet you.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Mark Glenn probably painted the town red last night.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Our boss, our own Mark Glenn on the rooftop.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just shouting, just shouting, howling at the moon, setting
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: off fireworks. Yeah, that's Glenn all right in.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: A Minnesota thing.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably laid the accent on pretty thick around the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: house to oh hey, Jenny.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, what's in that bague? Yeah? I want to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: go outside and play some tag.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Oh you bet you yeah, And Jenny was like, oh god,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I hate it when Minnesota wins.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, don't be such a hague. I don't get this
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: celebration of my flag. We're gonna go plant a flague
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: in the backyard, all right? Well, yes, excellent action last
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: night in the NBA playoffs NHL playoffs, I mean even
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the blowout was interesting that the Atlanta Hawks won lost
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: by over fifty points to the New York Knicks last night.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: That was at one point kind of a tight series.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Didn't end up that way.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Also, you saw the Boston Celtics be taken to a
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: seventh game. Philly won by thirteen last night over Boston.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: So game seven tomorrow, they'll have the stage to themselves.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: It's a three games tonight in the NBA playoffs, chance
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: for three eliminations, but a chance for three more game
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: sevens tomorrow, just one game seven and it will be

  Speaker 4: Austin taking on Philadelphia.

  Speaker 4: yesterday the Jessica Campbell or we found out yesterday Jessica
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Campbell will not return. The history making assistant coach has
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: either moved on or maybe there was a mutual decision
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: to move on. I don't know, but it looks like
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: she's exploring other opportunities to land with another NHL franchise. Tonight,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: you've got Mariners taking on the Kansas City Royals. It'll
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: be Cole Reagan's for Kansas City, a very good left hander.

  Speaker 4: after Dark with our own Tony Kash. He's getting the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: old gang together tonight, Cam Cleveland, Softy. Even Spencer Hawes

  Speaker 4: told me yesterday he's joining you out there, Tony. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: it'll be nice in the middle of spring to see
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: all of your buddies, won't it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, hanging out with Spencer's always great because pushing in
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: a good mood, because he causes.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: You to look up right. He's still the biggest dog
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: I know. But yeah, it's gonna be so much fun,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: you know it is.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: I'm hearing thirty seven thousand tickets as of last night.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: We're all needed.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: We're pushing for forty k. The weather's looking like it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: going to cooperate. It is just gonna be a lot
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: of fun, man, you know. I mean I always say
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: as we go into the fall, you only get seven
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: times a year to do a home game in Husky.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Stadium, so those days are special, right, And.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: This kind of like meets you halfway there. This is
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: you get a little taste of it, little flavor. Heading
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: into the summer, it's an eighth opportunity to get into
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: the stadium to watch a Purple and Gold play.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: So it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's gonna be a beautiful weather.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, the this is a really big deal
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: to coaches, and I'm not sure if all fan bases
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: in college football recognize the significance of the spring game
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: to the people that run the program. I'm not even
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: sure I fully grasp it. But Jed's trying to get
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: the word out. I mean, you know, he wants more
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: than even forty Ok, for this game. So you've been
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: around him, you've been around the program, you've been around
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the sport for a long time. Why is it that
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: this having a large crowd is so important to the
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: head football coach?
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I think it's about just the culture of college football,
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: you know, And I mean I think that as the
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: sport continues to evolve at a rapid pace, you have
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: to stay connected to the roots because it's the roots
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: and the traditions about the thing that made people fall
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: in love with it in the first place. And it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: about the excitement, you know, Like I mean, I I
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: you know, season tickets are a big investment, and you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: not everybody's always able to make it, but you know
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: what they can do is they can hold their kids'
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: hands and put the purple w on the cheek and
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: load up the family and bring a cooler and tailgate
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: for a little bit and then walk into the greatest
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: setting and hear the marching band and see the cheerleaders
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: and watch, you know, watch the team go at it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: And it's just about kind of the feeling that you
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: get walking into that college football cathedral there on Montlake, right,
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: Like I mean, it's just a special feeling to go
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: into that place, and.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I think that it is.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: You know, I've said this about college sports, and it's
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: one of those things that I think everybody that works
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: in the college sports space is really fighting hard to
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: try to protect in this brave new world with you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: transfer portal and everything else. But like, you know, think
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: about the sport of baseball, I think is a really
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: good example. Like I spent some time in the Southeast,
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: and before I did you know, games at Washington, I
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: did basketball only at Clemson for three years, and I
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: thought back on that time of what a big baseball
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: school Clemson it was, and how you know, at a place,
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: you know, down in the South, where the weather cooperates
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: and all that stuff, just how they will draw crowds
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: way larger than any minor.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: League baseball team would.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: And yet you could make a lot of arguments that
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: you know, the play on the field in minor you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: on Triple A baseball is better than college sports. So
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: you know, those guys are just a breath away from
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: the big leagues. Why would there be so much more
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: fandom for college baseball than minor league baseball? And I
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: think it's because of the community aspects. And it's because
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: that everybody that's wearing that college baseball uniform at the
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: University of Washington or wherever else, they're playing for a championship,
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: and that you know the concept of a triple A
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: player the moment he gets that call see you, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: I'm out of here. Bye, guys, love you, good luck
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: the rest of the season. I'm off to the big leagues.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: And college sports, I think is still fighting to like
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: to keep that communal aspect, and they still are, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: like the brotherhood on this Husky football team is as
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: thick and as strong as ever, and yes, you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: there's more frequent in and out than there was before,
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: but also the amount of time that these guys spend
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: together is more than ever before. They're all in twenty
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: four to seven, three sixty five. They are playing and
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: fighting and scrapping and clawing for a Big Ten championship
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: and a berth in the college Football Playoff. And so
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: it's that level of buy in that you know they
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: have for your team that gets the fans to buy
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: in as well.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: And that's why college.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Sports is still incredibly special because they really aren't playing
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: for a contract. They're playing for one another, they're playing
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: for a championship, they're playing for.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: For you know, the community at large.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: And and I think that the Spring Game is the
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: simulation of that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: It's a reminder of that, and that's why I love
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: it so much.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and I and I do want to clarify,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: just in case it was a confusing question.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to cut you off, but I did
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: want to clarify. I'm just talking about the spring game. Obviously,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: a coach always wants a sellout for regular season games,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: but why was it so important for the spring game?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: And then and then you did get there eventually, But
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I thought maybe I had misasked the question, so I
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: wanted to clarify for our audience that once the sports
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: talk show host doesn't quite understand that coaches like sold
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: out arenas well.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: And also, you know, we want we want a full
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: stadium today. Yeah, and you know, to open to the public,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: all you got to do is go online, claim a ticket.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: It's free, come on out, have a good time.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: It's just about the culture of the sport, the culture
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: of your program, the culture of the fan base. And
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: I think that's why it's important to Jed and you
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: know all the other coaches all across the country.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Tony Caster Cone is what it's the voice of your
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: of the Washington Huskies, joining us right here on Chuck
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: and Buck in the morning, Dowk's after dark tonight. It'll
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: start at six thirty, but we'll be way ahead of
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: six thirty to get you ready for the event.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: This evening.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about Demon Williams Junior for a lot of people,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: first time seeing him play football and the number one
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: coming up a little bit later on today. So your
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: perspective from your view as the voice of the Huskies,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: his off season and where he's at right now being
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: a Washington Husky when it felt close like he was.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Going to be leaving the program. Yeah, you know.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: So there's just this is experienced in two drastically different ways.
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: It's experienced either from the outside, which is a fans perspective,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: which is you know, media, you know, all all of
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: most of Husky Nation, right and and that's the that
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: that was a very weird what we'll call it, seventy
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: two to ninety six hours back in early January, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: that's the last you know, taste in your mouth and
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: all that stuff, and that feels a little bit weird,
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: and that's totally understandable, and you kind of sit with
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: that for a long time. Then there's the perspective from
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: the inside, which is, like, dude, this three months ago
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: feels like three years ago, right, Like this happened so
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: long ago. There's been so much work put in since then.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: You know, they have bought one hundred percent in to
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: their junior star starting quarterback.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: They're happy to have him back. He's leading the offense.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: They are, you.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Know, a quarter of the way deep into trying to
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: make a push to the college football playoffs, like that
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: started in early January and we are a quarter of
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: the way to January first, so more than a quarterback,
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: so like it's ancient history to them, and I think
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: what that means is good news for Husky Nation.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: He's all in.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: This team is all in with him, and they are
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: ready to you know, fire up the cannons and charge
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: full speed ahead into the fall. And it's a good
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: thing because I think they're really gonna need him, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: they're gonna need him at his best, and you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: it's a really compelling schedule this year. It gives him
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: a chance to kind of ramp up a little bit,
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: just from from from a national strength of schedule perspective,
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: the most of the toughest games are kind of backloaded.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: But you know, I think there's obviously, I mean, it's
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: college football.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: You know, there's lots of traps and land mines along
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the way, including in Week one you have a rivalry
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: game against Washington State, so it's it's gonna be a
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: really exciting run. But you know, I think these guys
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: are fired up to have them on in their corner.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: And I think he under new quarterbacks coach and JP Losman,
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: is really looking to take the next step in his
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: game and really actually be a Heisman candidate this year,
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: which is just gonna mean he's gonna have to play
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: a little bit better in the fourth quarter against the
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: elite competition. He's gonna have to avoid those interceptions. You know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: I noticed something interesting looking at the stats earlier this week.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: All eight of his interceptions last year were on first down.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: Not that there's ever a good time to throw an interception,
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: but it's like, man, that's like early in the drive, right,
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: So you know, just cleaning up some of those things,
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: and you know, I think now having twenty six college
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: football games under his belt. You know, now he's going
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: to be a real true veteran of this whole sport
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: as he moves forward to leave this team this.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Year, all right, as somebody's got their you know, ear
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: close to the program. I mean, you're there for spring practices.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: You know, who's creating the buzz at spring practice. Maybe
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: somebody that's a Husky fan listening right now doesn't know.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: So they're going to show up Friday, and who should
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: they have their eyeballs on based on who's creating buzz
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: at spring practice.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, let's just go kind of, you know, through position groups.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: I think that you know, running back, You've got probably
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: the three most experienced running backs on the team all
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: were out with injuries this year. Jordan Washington got her
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: early in spring practice Day three, Jade and Lamar the
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: transfer from Oregan's played a ton of college football, and
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: then Trey Cooley is kind of a journeyman through college
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: football who's transferred in. He's got a thousand rushing yards
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: in his career, but he's recovering from an injury that
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: cost him last season as well. So Quaid car a
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: red shirt freshman, a young kid from Survey High School,
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: which has been just such a great connection for Jed
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: and his staff has really looked the part of a
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: starting running back this year, number twenty one. He had
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: a couple carries last season as a true but man,
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: you know he's got some big time potential at wide receiver.
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: They went out and they had not one, not two,
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: but three high four star recruits that they plucked out
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: of the South, one from Texas, one from Louisiana, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: one from Oklahoma. And all three of these true freshman
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: wide receiver have the ability and opportunity to make an
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: instant impact. Tres Davis is number twelve, Jordan Clay is
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: number eleven, Mason James is number six. So those are
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: all new guys. Keep an eye on them. You graduate
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Quinton Moore at the tight end position. Baron Naoni comes
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: in as kind of the run blocking specialist off one edge,
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: so you know he'll be a tight end. And then
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: big seventy six at left tackle. Cody Green is a
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: true freshman start as a true freshman, yeah yeah in
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: the Big Ten Conference, so he will protect him on's
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: blindside and that's a.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Good look at the offense.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: Number five Derek Coleman Bruce the highest recruit in the
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: state of Washington, a game wrecker on the defensive line,
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: is really exciting and a true freshman Number eleven Ramzach
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Frewin is really rising up the depth chart. He could
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: start at edge rusher. He's going to be a really
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: exciting player this year as well.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: And then at.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: The defensive back position, Emanuel Carnally transfers in from Virginia.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: He was a really good one for the Cavaliers last
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: year on a winning program. He'll be a starting corner
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: opposite Dylan Robinson. And then you know, the Safeties have
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: some experience that they bring back. One of my favorites
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: on the team. New incomer transfer from San Diego State,
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: number ninety three, Hunter the Hunter.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: We've got Hunter Green.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: You know, he's got one heck of a Husky legacy
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: story and you should look into him. But he's got
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: one heck of a strong leg as well. With sixth
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: in the nation and punning last year. So a lot
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: of newcomers, a lot of people to get familiar with
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: and come on out and support them tonight.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be great.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: So did you do anything I've had a transformation since
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Cam and everybody has seen you. I mean, did you
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: go like a human growth hormones, so you've put on
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: like twenty five pounds of muscle or anything like that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: I would love to say that I've put on twenty
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: pounds of muscle, much like at three Alexander or something
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: like that, but unfortunately, no, I'm still I'm still holder
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: status at.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Well, did you at least I grow a mullet at
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: one bar?
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd be the guy with a one bar across
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: my face mask cold.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Do at least I grow a mullet or get a
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: tan at the very minimum. I mean, you got to
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: look a little bit different for all your friends you're
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: seeing them for the first time in a while.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah. No, maybe maybe the post the post spring Game
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: of vacation. Hopefully I could pick a couple of little
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: sun raised.
• 20:31

• 21:04
  Speaker 7: a lot of fun.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: Purple verse gold.

• 21:24
  Speaker 4: and Dick are going to spend a lot of time
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: talking Dogs after Dark starting at three o'clock, and then Tony,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: as you mentioned, will take over pregame festivities there at
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: six and then I'll have play by play of the
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: event this evening at six thirty.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, it is going to be a perfect night
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: for this, Yeah, perfect night, I hope. Think it a
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: great crowd.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean they're already sold over thirty six thousand
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and the goal is forty. I mean you're going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: get some walk ups, especially when you're not charging for tickets.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: Well, and especially when people say, oh, well, you know what,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: it's a nice night, Yeah, maybe we will go down there.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: So I think they're going to Eclipse forty thousand comfortably
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: for this evening. And yes, I did want to clarify.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: In the middle of that, I just I started hearing
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: him answer it like I had asked something stupid, like
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: why do coaches like sold out crowds.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I don't think that's how you ask them obviously, Well
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but it felt like he was answering
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: that it that way, and I'm like, oh gosh, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: got to clear this up.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: But I do wonder, like why it is so important.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I've asked Jedfish this, like this spring game and having
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: people that the spring game, Why is it? Because the
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: game doesn't count, right, I mean, you're not going to
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: win or lose.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Well, and if you do, it's your own record. Yeah,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it's just yourself.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a showcase of the players old and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: new that, you know, just to remind people little appetizer
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: of what's coming this fall. Yeah, and yet in the South.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: You know they'll they'll bring hundreds, one hundred thousand people
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: out to watch the spring game. And it's not you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: obviously we're not as rabid as what the South is
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: about their college football anywhere else in the country, not
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: just in the Pacific Northwest. But it's very important for
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Jed Fish. It was important to Kaylin to Bore. It's
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: always been important to the Water. They want a huge
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: crowd for this spring game, and forty thousand probably is
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: a nice goal, but I know he wants a sellout.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I mean he wants to eventually get it to the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: point where people are so dog football crazy that they're
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: not going to miss this event, a free event where
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: they get to see this thing showcase beautiful weather. It's
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: going to be I'm sure a great Washington sunset here
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: tonight and you can just be a part of it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: And so we shall see.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: But it is hugely important to college football head coaches
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: that this spring game is a big attraction with their
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: fan base.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I will tell you this, if the sunset
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: tonight is anything like the sun rise this morning, that's
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: going to be a okay.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we are driving to work now with like sunlight.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: My favorite time of year to drive to work.

  Speaker 4: In celebration of our new sponsor, Sunset Auto Family and
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: their outstanding logo or motto. Yeah, I'm going to try
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: to squeeze in more letters than I've ever squeezed in
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: to a ABC's of them because you just get more
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: at Sunset.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and people do like that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I love what you're doing with this.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Let's get it started. We left off of the letter
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Q yesterday. Q is for questionable. And I say this
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: because maybe what I'm about to say is highly questionable,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: and yet I think it's worth a question.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Therefore it's questionable.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, Bryce Miller, So he's reabbing right now, and he's
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: what they're doing, right is trying to buy some time.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: They're trying to buy some Number One, make sure he's
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent healthy. That's number one. And then number two,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: we've got to build up his innings because he sat
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: for a while with his oblique injury, and so we
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: you know, he's a starting pitcher, so we start low
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: and we give him a certain small pitch count, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: then he built up to forty seven pitches and then
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: I think last night he pitched even more and pitched
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: well last night. So the building process, and then the
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: third thing, which I don't know if anybody's going to admit,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: but you're also trying to buy some time to try
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: to figure out this six man rotation as well.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So this is I just throw this out as a question. Okay,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: we have.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: A Matt Brash injury right now, and it sounds like
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: it's not going to be that serious, but I'm sure
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: they're going to rest him for a little while. Is
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: that out of the question Actually to just go ahead
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and activate Bryce Miller and maybe just for a little
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: while while he's building up his pitches that he could
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: kind of fill the Brash role until because I think
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Bryce Miller.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Would be make a fantastic relief pitcher. Now we want
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: him to be a starting pitcher.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: There's more value there, and he's got the talent and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: the skill and the durability. I say that about an
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: injured guy, but the durability. We know that he's going
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: to be a starting pitcher for the team, and I
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: don't want to change that about him now or anytime
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: in the near future. But if he's just rehabbing and
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: we've got him on a pitch count and we don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: think Brash is going to be out for that long
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: and we could really use somebody to maybe fill a
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: high leverage situation, can we get him activated like now,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: like today.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just pitched last night, so he couldn't
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: pitch tonight. But I'm just I'm just wondering if that
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: sounds out of the question that Ryce Miller could while
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: he's working up his pitch count just kind of fulfill
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: a role out of the bullpen until he's ready to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: be a starter, and maybe that buys you a little
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: extra time. I don't know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I definitely see what you're saying and where you're going
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: And I don't hate the idea in theory, but obviously
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: with him working up his pitch count, he's not doing
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: that every two days, right, He's pitching every five still,
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: So then I worry, Well, now you're back to kind
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: of having someone you can't use very often and you
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: can only use them every five days. Well, right, and
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: then does he even in going in and relief, does
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: he even get enough pitches?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: But even if it's just one time, yeah, even if
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: it's just okay, he pitched last night, So it kind
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: of blows the whole idea out of the water. But
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: if Matt Brash, you don't want to put him necessarily
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: on the injury or maybe he does have to go
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: on the injured list, you know. And I think we're
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: probably gonna hear that he will be put on the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: injured list. We'll see. He's acting like it's not that
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: big a deal. But if you could fill his role a.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Couple of times over the course of that ten days
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: with Bryce Miller, and then Bryce Miller with his extra work,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: just you know, throws the bullpen session afterwards in.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Order to get the arm strength back.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean, just a way to get
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: him back on the team. Not make it look like
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: you're going to stay down there until we can make
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: this decision with Castillo, so he can fill a role
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: and then brashes down and so we would like to
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: fill that with somebody capable as opposed to bringing up
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: yet another, you know, Tacoma reliever who's not proven.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just trying to get creative.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I like that you're thinking out beside the box.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to get creative with how we're gonna manage
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: all of these arms in the interim and then eventually
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: long term. I said this yesterday, I'll say it again.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean eventually we're gonna have to make
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: a decision on the five man rotation. I don't want
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: to go to the six man rotation. And if I
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: have to make the decision today, I'm sticking with Emerson Hancock.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I'm activating Bryce Miller, and Luis Castile moves.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: To my bullpen.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: He's a long reliever at first, and then maybe if
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: there's no crack to get back into the starting rotation
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: because the other five guys are flourishing where Castillo is not,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: then Castillo could maybe start moving toward becoming a full
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: time reliever for the next year and a half and
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: moving back toward more of a high leverage kind of
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: role like John Smoltz did late in his career. So
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: that's my theory overall. But while we're trying to buy
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: time and waste time and and keep everybody happy, you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I wonder if a Matt Brash iye l Bryce Miller
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: comes up, could pitch and relief a couple of times,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe it goes two innings and not one because you're
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: you can use him, You're trying to build up his
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: pitch count. Maybe that's a creative solution to like four
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: different problems. Yeah, in the interim until we make the
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: final full term decision.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Well again, I like that you're thinking outside the box.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: I like that it's something that we haven't had a
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: conversation about before. I had not thought of that as
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: an option at all. It would I don't see it
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: happening by any means, but yeah, but all that's that
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: I don't And it's a fun conversation to have. And
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: it's it's because, especially in this current you know, potential
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: six man issue, you kind of got to look at
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: everything and see, like how can we fix this? What
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: can we do? And you think, then, oh, well then
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: you take Bryce Miller out of the bullpen and you
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: put him in starting.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Just put Luis right on in there.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, swap him. That's the idea is you know,
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: he's going to be a starting pitcher. I want him
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: to be a starting pitcher. But if he's not quite
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: ready to enter the starting rotation because he's not build
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: up arm strength wise, he's still throwing ninety eight and
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: he's striking people out down in Tacoma, Well why couldn't
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: he do that for the Mariners right now for a
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: couple of innings until his arm strength is built up. Yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: that was just my thoughts.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: The fun idea.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. R is for RBI, also known as
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: runs batted in? Had I told you third that thirty
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: two games into the season, our leader and runs batted
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: in was Cole Young? Would you have believe me?
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: No?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: He is nineteen runs batted in so far this year.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: That crazy, That is crazy, And maybe because he seems
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: to be doing it. I mean, you watch every game, especially,
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: I should say, if you watch every game, you are
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: definitely recognizing the contributions he's making on a regular basis,
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: you'd be blind not to. But it's kind of still
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: understated the way he's doing it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people are talking about him locally nationally.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are going.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Off on this guy about how great he looks right
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: now that he's entered. You know, he's gone from oh, man,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: you know, had a hot and cold rookie season to now.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, he is creating buzz everywhere. Everybody is walking
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: away impressed with Cole Young. But statistically he leads us
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: and runs batted in right now. And in the sabermetric community,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: they've kind of, you know, they've moved away from the
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: value of RBI. When I grew up, I mean when
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: you ran to the stat leaders, that's one of the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: first places you looked. It was one of the ways
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: that you really did place value on a major league hitter,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: how many runs batted in. Well, the sabermetric community has
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: decided that that's really kind of contingent upon whether or
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: not you're coming to the plate with guys on base.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: So I get the argument for why it might not
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: be as telling a statistic as we'd been led to
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: believe in the first hundred years of major.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: League baseball history.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: But I don't want you to move too far away
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: from it, because this game is still about driving in
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: runs and scoring runs. So Pete Rose used to tell
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: me all the time. The game's driving in runs and
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: scoring runs. So the combined of scoring runs and knocking
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: them in, that's what it's all about. So you better
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: believe that those are important statistics. And if Cole Young
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: is sitting there in the eight hole for you more
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: often than not, and he's leading you and runs batted in,
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: does that not suggest that he's coming through in those
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: situations with runners in scoring position more often than not,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: more often than others on the team who are being
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: paid a lot more money to be those run batted
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: in producers. It's Cole Young that's been coming through at
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: time after time after time, situation after situation, whether it's
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: against the lefty against a righty, whether it's with guys
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: on base, it's starting an inning, it's Cole Young that
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: seems to be coming up with the clutch hits more
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: often than anyone else on this baseball team.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he is definitely reliable, and he has his six
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: game streak to prove it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Says for Stove thirty.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: The brand new name of our new podcast debuted yesterday.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Anders Hurst and I do an off season Mariners podcast
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: called Stove not the Stove, No, not hot Stove, not
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: the Hot Stove, Stove, And so we had a few
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: people that have reached out to us and said, why
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: do you guys have to stop this? We are enjoying
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: the podcast. Can you do it during the regular season.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: So Anders and I put our heads together and we've
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: decided to come up with a twice per month show
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: where we're going to on the fifteenth and on the
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: thirtieth of every month we are going to record a
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: just an season, up to date Mariners podcast. So it
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: was the thirtieth yesterday, thirtieth of April, closing out the month,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: we recorded our very first episode of Stove thirty and
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: it is available to you at ninety three to three
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: kjar dot com. So wanted to let you know of
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: the things I said, just to provide you a teaser
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: so that you can go listen to the entire hour long,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: fifty two minute presentation. I made the statement in this
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Colt Emerson versus JP Crawford watch that we have going
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: on that I JP Crawford should be our shortstop. Right now,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: we know that cold Emerson's going to be our shortstop
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: of the future, and I think JP Crawford should be
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: given every opportunity to keep that job. And if cold
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Emerson is yelling at the Mariners, I'm ready. And if
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: JP's playing well, then we find out another way Colt
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Emerson can contribute to the team. So that's what my
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: interest where it lies. And I want JP Crawford to
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: end up being the shortstop on a World Series team
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: in Seattle, even if it's his final thing that he
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: does as a Seattle Mariner the last year of his contract.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I would like nothing more than to JP Crawford catch
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: the last out of the twenty twenty six World Series
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: and that's his send off as a Seattle Mariner, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: then cold Emerson takes over as our starting shortstop next year.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: But the bold statement made on the first episode of
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Stove thirty the one that's gonna make it famous, Okay.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I do believe there will come a time this year
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: where I will come on these airwaves and say it's
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: time cold Emerson needs to be our starting shortstop.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: He's just better than JP Crawford.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: It's not yet and I don't know when it's gonna be,
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: but I do believe in my gut that there's going
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: to come a moment during this season where I'm gonna
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: come on the airwaves and I am going to make
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: that statement that Colt Emerson should be the shortstop and
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: it's time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: For JP Crawford to take a different role.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I will not be surprised to hear that. I will
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: tell you that.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then two quick ones, because I promise i'd
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: get in five letters. T is four. Treatment.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Hopefully Brendan Donovan got the treatment he needs on his
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: groin injury.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And when I say treatment, you know what that means, grointment.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: That's why he's going to spend the minimum amount of
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: time on the injured list.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: So the statement is that he's going to return at
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: some point during this Homestand I got a sneaky suspicion, Ashley,
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: that he's.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: There waiting with Bells on tonight.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I hope so I do too.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I hope he's in the lineup tonight. And if he
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: is in the lineup, it means they used grointment. If
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: he's not, it means they don't have it on the shelves.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: And shame on the Mariners. And finally you is for Unit,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: as in the Big Unit, who we will talk about next.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: On Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: All right, good morning to you. It is Chuck and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Ashley with you.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: We've got the OHO coming up at the top of
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: the hour, your eight Top stories of the day right
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: here on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Also coming up a little bit later on in the program,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: a round of SUP at eight thirty. So have your
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: questions ready for us at eight thirty on the Tech
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: sign at four nine four five. One part of our OHO,
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: our eight top stories of the day, certainly the Mariners
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: and certainly Saturday's festivities. Randy Johnson getting his number retired
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: on Saturday. Of course, the number fifty one is already retired.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Oh wait, yeah, a little weird, but yes, it'll be
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: retired again. And you know what, maybe we'll just let
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: somebody out cal will start wearing fifty one. We'll set
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: the record for most times a number can be retired.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: I mean it should be if it's like, what was
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: it at USC I think fifty six was the one
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: they gave all the linebackers.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Oh there you go fifty one. That's just so you
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: give the best player.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why not?
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, if we're gone this far, maybe we just
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: give fifty one to the best player. Maybe Colet Emerson
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: has given fifty one when he finally comes up.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Not too much pressure there, kid, No.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, you wouldn't be putting pressure on anyone. Here
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: The best players in our organization all wear this.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right right?
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Syrahcuse they do forty four. The Yankees did the single digit.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Like if you were given a single digit, the expectation was,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: you've got to be a Hall of Fame. Oh wow,
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Derek Jeter, I think might have had the last one,
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: number two, And look how it turned out.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Well, good thing they didn't give a single digit to
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: that Aaron Judge guy, because he is not going to
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: be in the Hall.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Of They ran out of them. Oh well, they don't
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: have any left. Yeah, otherwise, otherwise maybe they would have.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: They should go to three digits now.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, the next guy will be number one and five.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, but Randy Johns and gets his number retired by
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: the Mariners on Saturday. I mean, he is the best
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: left handed starting pitcher i've ever seen in my entire life.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: And I may argue he is the best pitcher I've
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: ever seen in my entire life.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty dark, good.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And he was better in Arizona than he was here.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: And he was phenomenal here, but when he got to
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Arizona and he was I mean, he was still in
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: his like mid thirties. Not many people become their best
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: in their mid thirties, and Randy Johnson did. But he
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: was just overwhelming. I mean, he was just impossible to hit.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: It felt like he had the best fastball and slider
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: in the game at the exact same time. And then
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: because of those long bull whip arms and being six
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: foot ten, he was releasing the ball, you know, at
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: a couple feet closer to the hitters, they had even
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: less time to react to it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Crazy because over on the other you had Pedro Martinez,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: who you could have argued while Randy was in the
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: National League and Pedro was in the American League that
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Pedro had the best fastball change up at the exact time,
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: same time in all of the American League. It was
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: a brilliant era for starting pitchers. I'd still think that
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: they might be the two best. And I love Greg Maddox.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: I think Pedro at his best Randy at his best
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: might be the two best pictures I've ever seen.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: In my life. Yeah.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: I mean it was awesome growing up as a Mariners
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: fan and having him here. And I remember going to
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: the game where he came out of the bullpen and
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: everybody just losing their minds. Everybody in the Kingdom just
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: freaking the f out. Yeah's great.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: And then the stories that go with him, the ones
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: that Buhner tells all the time about his competitiveness and
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: then wouldn't look people in the eye.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: You couldn't talk to a little.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Game day, hard for him to get to your eye level.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: I love the Buhner story from a couple of weeks
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: ago where if anybody hit one of his pitchers, he
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: would remind the team when he's pitching next.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: That was phenomenal.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: You do forget who's on this team. You know, he
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: would yell from the dugout I'm pitching tomorrow, think about
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: that before you hit another one of my guys.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And he was.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: Not afraid to stick up for his guys, and he
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: was not afraid to throw fists. I mean, there was
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: a competitive about ness about him that was crazy, and
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: he's actually a really nice guy. I know a couple
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: people in Arizona that know him personally, and he's actually
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: a really nice guy. But in terms of like competitors,
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know if there was a nastier competitor in
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: sports when Randy Johnson.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Was in uniform.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Which is exactly how you want it, right, If you
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: could drop a picture perfect athlete, you want someone who
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: is the most competitive when they step onto their field
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: and then just the best human when they're off the field. Yeah,
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: I mean that's a dream come true. You could have
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: the best of both worlds in one person. I don't
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: know if he's the best human nobody, No, but I'm saying,
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Yes, exaggeration, but I'm saying,
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: like a good person off the field. It's like, oh wow,
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: that is those are the things that you hope for, right.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: I did like Alex Mayer's stats. Did you see that
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: that in twenty twenty six when they retired Eachi Ro's number,
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: Mariners went five and one in the six games leading
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: up to eachi rose number retirement or twenty twenty five?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Sorry? And then this year.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: They went five to one in the six games leading
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: up to the number fifty one one Jersey retirement.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: He's always fine and stuff. He's weird.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how do you even think to look that up?
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, he doesn't have anything else going.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I know, but yes, I mean just the
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: embodiment of intimidation. I mean, you think about intimidation and
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: professional sports, and you think about a football player, you
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: think of a Cam Chancellor type.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Someone who hits hard.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody that actually makes physical contact with everybody else.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: But just the idea that you have this six foot
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: ten inch, maybe even six foot eleven inch, long arm
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: left hander, long legged left hander, so he got even
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: further off the mound than even his height would have indicated.
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: And the release point and then you're throwing that fastball
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: and you can't tell fastball slider until it's too late.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: And then the look that he had, the long mullet,
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: you know, sort of the pitted face, you know, and
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: and just the weird eyes, like intimidating eyes. I mean
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: that was and then he put that glove right before
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: his nose so all.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: You could see was his eyes.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: And when he shake, Yeah, shake his catcher off. I mean,
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know, and his hair would shake behind him.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that no baseball player will ever be more
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: intimidating than an intimidating football player because of the violence
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: in that sport. But that dude was one of the
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: most intimidating figures in sports when he pitched. And I
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: actually have a little story Randy Johnson. So I was
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: I had moved on from sports, and I did comedy
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: music radio for a big chunk of my career and
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: I had just moved on from it, and so I'm
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: doing afternoons at one oh one five the Zone and
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: it was a comedic show, and I had a team
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: on hand, but they weren't sports.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I'd only worked with just.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: Pure bred sports fans, you know, and so they liked sports,
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, but I obviously brought a little
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: more knowledge than what they were accustomed to being around.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: So I had a female host, Allison, and I hope
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: she's doing well.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I haven't talked to her in a while.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: But I said to her in the middle of my show,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: I said, do you want to go to the Diamondbacks
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: game tonight? And she said, well, sure.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I'll go to the Diamondbacks game. But why are you
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: asking it that way? I said, I've got this weird
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: suspicion that history's going to be made tonight. And she
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: goes in what way? I said, the major League record
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: for most strikeouts in a game is twenty. I think
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Randy Johnson's going to strike out twenty one Cincinnati Reds tonight. Wow.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: And she said, okay, she didn't even quite grasp it.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: So we show up at the ballpark and sitting in
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: our seats, we ended up getting great seats. We were
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: right down the first baseline twenty strikeouts in nine innings,
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: so he tied tied the record, and then they went
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: to extra innings so they had a chance to send
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: him back out there again to set the record, and
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: they decided to sit him. Like you know, he had
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: his pitch count was up. Yeah, and it was pretty
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: early in the season. But I came that close to
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: predicting something that has never happened before.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: And you should have seen the look.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's like, because he's not in a sportsman enough
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: to begin with, so she doesn't realize I'm doing the math,
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: like the Cincinnati read strike out more than anybody in
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: the league, and it's Randy Johnson.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: And this is just crime. Might see history made. So
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: she didn't know any of that.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's just looking at me like, how did you
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: know that this guy was going to strike out twenty
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: hitters tonight? So that was my little Randy Johnson story.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: All I got to see that game and I almost
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: got to see him strike out twenty one.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: That would have been awesome. You were pretty close. I'd
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: be pretty impressed with myself if I were you.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Very close, very close.
• 47:22
