Chuck & Buck 3-4 Hour 4: A WBC preview, green-jacket style, Al Kinisky and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, happy Wednesday to everybody. We've got al Kiniski joining
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: us at nine thirty to talk to some crack and hockey.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: But man, we have not green jacket drafted in a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: long long time. It feels like, as a matter of fact,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's been so long we haven't even handed out the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: awards for our last two green Jackets that were decided. Fine, fine,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you just want to just mole over it, Yeah, just
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: no big deal.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them. I'm glad I lost.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't turn his mic on. That's great.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't even worry about it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I'm curious one, you know.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're just curious. Yeah, I want to know.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: You're sitting there like, I want to know who has
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: the Green jackets.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You're just on pins and needles over there, aren't you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you it ain't Bucket.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It's going to be so fun to find out.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'll guarantee you such things. All right, Well, let's start
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with the our NFL postseason fantasy draft that we did,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: uh and with one and sixty two and a half points,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Having drafted Saquon Barkley, Kyron Williams, Stefon Diggs, and Josh Allen,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the winner by nine points over me, Christopher Kidd. The
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: sneaky pick was the Josh Allen, getting Josh Allen the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: fourth round because even though I had Sam Darnold, yeah
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: he went the whole way. Yeah, I got three games,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you got two from Allen, and you still outscored me
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: at the quarterback position.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: And that was my concern with picking the seat because
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: ikne they probably would't score a lot of offensively.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I just think their defense was elite.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: And if I could have picked a defensive player, okay,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: sorry about your broncos, I would have definitely taken I
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: don't know any defensive player available.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well they were that good. Yeah, let's face it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Me picking a j Brown in the fourth round was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the reason that you won that too, Thank you, dumb dumb.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: All right, we got another green jacket because did you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: get this little over midway through the year. We always
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: picked the Super Bowl champions right after the trading deadline.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it's just an outright you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: got to pick the Super Bowl champions. We know who
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: won the championship, but who took the Seahawks and our
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: green jacket draft?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Me and BUGI are personal right now, music up.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Actually did have the Patriots fourth round pick. Yeah, no,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it's yeah, but Kid in the second round at the time,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so we weren't any of us confident enough to take
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: him with our first pick.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: We had the fourth pick though, right, so yeah, yeah, third, third,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Oh okay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: So it came right back around. You have to get
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the second pick, and I was hoping to get him.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sixth pick overall. So Buffalo, Detroit, Philadelphia, the Rams,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs were all taken at the time ahead
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of these. Makes sense.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, no one saw that happening with those teams
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you mentioned. The chief didn't even make it. What that's crazy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We were all we just we were all feeling good,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just not good enough. But Kid ends up taking the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: pick there and winning a Green Chats. So that's two
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: green jacket drafts. Ducky ceremony for kids. Look at me, Bucky.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That means you're up by it five on the year.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So in the overall standings, you are one back of Bucky, Bucky,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm on your still behind, and one up on Ashley.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Don't let me win another one, Bucky, don't let me
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: win another one.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I have six, he has five. Ashally has four.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, I have two. I've had the worst green jacket
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: draft season ever, but we had.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: A lot coming up right with Yeah, well golf majors.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Well, the new season starts start at the Masters, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: whatever we draft now will carry.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Over, all right, So we need at least two so
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I have a chance to tie Bucky.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's run away with it so and we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: do have probably four or five six more of these.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So you know, Ashley, if you go on a run,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you could still win the season. And I suppose I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: could too, but I better get every pick right going
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: forward because Bucky's also leading our NBA standings. Of course,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he's twelve games up on Ashley. With the Knicks, Celtics, Clippers,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and Pistons. That's a twenty four point turnaround me taking
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Mavericks over the Pistons. As you can go back
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and listen, That's why I was trying to decide between
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I was debating between Lakers and Pistons.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I've had a bad green jacket here.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And then hockey wise kids in the lead with Chandler Stevenson,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Matty Benier's, Frederick Gradout Goodreau and Adam Larson nine points
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: up on Bucky. So look at that. Wait till I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: pick up somebody right here at the trade deadline. Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and bug, you has a spot. You can't pick anybody up.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: He can, yep, and he's down nine. So there you go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I think it is going to come down to Kid
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and Bucky, but we shall see. Ashley could get hot
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: here at the end of the season.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well, it's just been one of those off years. You
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got off to a great start.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: I've only got two people playing, right, or do I
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: even Yeah, I've got Brandon Montour I think, and then
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I've got Vince done.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: No, you got done, and you got Caton.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You're you're great. Yeah. I mean we're not gonna win, no,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, so today we're going to do
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: something we've never done before. We're going to green jacket
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: draft for the WBC. We're gonna draft players and we're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: going to count total bases for the entire tournament. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so that being said, four rounds of drafting, and we
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: don't know the order yet, but the only rule that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we have, the only stipulation is that you can't take
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: more than one player from one national team. So if
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you take a US player in the first round, that's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the last US player that you get. So you got
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to spread it out a little bit over the entire
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: tournament field. That said, we're all going to end up
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with all star teams unless we got our head completely
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: up our butts, you're gonna end up with an all
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: star team because there's plenty to choose from in this WBC,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and we're only choosing four players each. So we need
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a draft order, Ashley, what's it gonna be.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Bucky is first? Yeah, it is third?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: All right, those of the order. All right, Bucky, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: got the first overall pick. You get any player in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the world. Total basis is what we're counting. Who you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: taking with your pick?
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Ah, I want to go with our boy, but I'm
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: gonna go with Aaron Judge.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. Yep, oh, he's taking the American off the board,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: right off the bat, all right, Aaron Judge. The selection
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: he's pretty.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Good, he's not bad.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Offensively, he's one of the better hitters in the world.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: He's up there in the conversation. It honestly was really
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: cool to like, I mean, I'm just I'm half asleep,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: getting ready for my nap. They're playing an exhibition game
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: before the WBC against the Giants, and then all of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a sudden, hitting third in the lineup, strolling up there,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: twice as big as anybody else wearing red, white and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: blue on a team i'm rooting for. Comes judge, it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: felt pretty good, Yeah it does. Yeah it didn't feel
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: pretty good. And first at bat THEA said to uncored.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Well even all springs so far, I've watched a bunch
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: of videos of that guy just absolutely dropping, you know
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: what on baseball's I mean, the guy just as a
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: hitting machine, playing it simple. Noah, fans abuts. I have
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: a hard time thinking he's gonna have a bad WBC.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So never know, he has prone to go into slumps
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: like they all are. But we shall see. All right,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the other phenom. Then I'm gonna take
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: my Japanese player here, give me show.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Hey, I think that's obviously it's a great pick. I mean,
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: he's freaky. And if we're gonna add a little half
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: point for stone bases and stuff, we know how the
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: Japanese come out and they play this game. I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: this is it's not the World Series. But for a
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: lot of the players, it is the closest.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Thing to it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: The thing with him is he sometimes misses a couple
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: of abs if he's pitching right, he.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Ends up not getting as many.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: And this is such a short little tournament that that's why.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: He doesn't anymore. They allow him to hit and pitch.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I was just the last one.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: He he ended up not hitting sometimes because he was pitching.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. Give me show hey with
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the second overall select.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Team Japan anyway, they haven't listened as the DH Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, kid, you got the third pick in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the draft again. A w b C preview got to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: take no more than one player from a roster, a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: national roster. Who you're taking third overall? I'll take the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: big dumper. Oh, you just crushed Ashley's soul.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Just had to take them, you know, I got to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I have to. Okay, I didn't have to, technically didn't.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I have to.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think he's really good and I think he's gonna
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: be He's okay.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, oh thanks, birds get breaking news. Cal's really good,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: pretty good turned out, he's pretty good.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He's like a six hitter. I don't know for sure
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: if they should be drafting six hitters. Sorry, can I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: take him the the next round? Not going to get him?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I can promise you that Ashley's got back to back selections.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Two American players off the board, Ashley, where are you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: going here?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go to Japan. Please give me You're
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: gonna tak Murakami.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, I to Taka Morikami y with the.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Pick, and then I'm going to go to the US
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: and give.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Me body with junior.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Please.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a good pick. I think I actually
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: had him rated a little bit higher than cow as
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: my American list of preferences.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Just because we're going total basics, total basis.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's just gonna he just doubles, triples, homers,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he does it all. So yeah, he's he's terrific. Morri
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Kami though, with all of the headlines about it, his
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: swing and miss stuff, and yet you're gonna take him
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: with the first round pick. Yep, he's gonna run into
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a few. Yeah, that's almost for sure.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: All right, all he does.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Two Japanese players off the board, Three American players already
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: off the board, which means I can just sit back
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and wait for my American player. It looks like I'm
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the only one that didn't have one.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: There's no good ones left, I know.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Slim Piggins, all right, kid, you got Cayl Rawley.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Where are you gonna go with your second round selection
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and our WBC preview green Jacket draft?
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: I will go to Japan and I'll take Saya Suzuki.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Saya Suzuki, so another Japanese player. They're flying off the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: boards at this defending champs. I got to, you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: defending champs. He's coming off a really good year with
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the Cubs. Uh yeah, he's uh, he can play, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling, you know, experienced then here before
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: probably is going to be relaxed, settle in and be
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: pretty productive. Man. I still know Dominicans having come off
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the board at this point. Uh, maybe I do just
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: wait on that and take Venezuela Superstar Ronald leccunya Junior
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: with my second round selection to add to show, Hey,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Otani's a good one. Venezuela's lineup is stacked, man.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they lost to Houston yesterday, so I'm kind of
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: hoping they get upset a little bit, But I think
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: Ocunya is probably the best bet on that team, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: I think they're probably third or fourth as far as
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: odds to win it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Also go the distance they're.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Pitching is a little suspect. Ranger Suarez is really good.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: He's their ace. Jonathan Diaz is on that team, by
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the way, from the Mariners. But man a lineup of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: William Contrevis, Wilson Contreras, Salvador Perez, Louis Ries, Royal's All
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Star mckel Garcia Labor Torres Gino is on the team,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Jackson Turio Andres Jimenez. That's a damn good lineup right there,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: next to the US and the Dominican. That's the third
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: best lineup in that in the tournament. I would argue,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you don't know a lot of the Japanese players as well.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Seems like the Japanese just play team baseball, right, a
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: bunch of guys that kind of slap it around and
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: get it done. As far as a danger aspect, those
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: are definitely the top three.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: All right, Bucky's got back to back selections. He and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of talent on the board. In our WBC preview,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: where are you going?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: You know, what I'm gonna go ahead and take give
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: me a little bit.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Of a Oh.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Boy, do I take a slapper here? Yeah, give me
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: Luisa Roz. I'm gonna take first, just to get him.
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: I mean he would have been my third round pick probably, yeah, because.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm I want Yeah, hope they get a
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: bunch of them.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: Okay, not really all that speedy, but he gets on
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: a lot, so we'll find he'll find a way, he'll
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: scrape together.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe ten points for me. I'll be fine
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: with that, although.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody else if they just run into three balls, that's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: going to be more.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: And then I'm going to I can wait for my
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: Japanese guy for my last because you guys have all
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: taken somebody, right. Yeah, So I'm gonna go ahead and
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: go to the d R. Now do I take Julio
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: typically not a hot starter? I was thinking, so no,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to. Then it's between Vladdie and Nando Tatis.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Give me Tatis.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Wow, Frando Tatis. I thought for sure you'd go Vladimir
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Guerrero there, and I was hoping you didn't take one
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Sodo because I'm taking one. Yeah, that's taken. Give me
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: one Sodo with the next selection. Honestly, he would be
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: my probably my second overall pick. But the Dominican Republic
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: lineup is so stacked that you really can't go wrong.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: You better have somebody from the DR on your team
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: here in this green Jacket preview.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But I'm not sure you can really go wrong here.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So I will take one Sodo, two DR hitters off
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the board, and kid, you are up with your third
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: round selection. Bad to Cal Raley and Saya Suzuki. I'll
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: go with Harry Ford. I like that risk, but I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: won't can zone I will do. I'll take Vladimir, take
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Master bony.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Of La.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Fourth round pick I really do.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: This is the Dominican Republic round right here? Can I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: say that I know Black I Dominican you can What
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: do we have to dump that? I'm not sure what
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I caught in there.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what you said. I think you're good.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I'm lad with a third round selection. All right, Ashley,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you get back to back picks here. You got screwed
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: out of Cal, you got screwed out of lad. Don't
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: screw yourself out of somebody else you really want. Honestly,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: take somebody you want here thanks.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take somebody I want.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I really if I can offer you some advice, get
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: somebody here that you really want.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's great advice, greatly appreciated.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ram Toro's on the Canadian team.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: I think I'll pass, Okay, I don't know. I'm part
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: of Me's like, well, I should take Julio because I
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: love Julio. And then I'm like, but do I think
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: he's going to be one of the better ones on
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the team. You know what, We'll take the risk. I'll
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: take Julio.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I want to take Julio Rod. I had to have
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a Mariner. I got one. You could have to, frankly,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I could.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: But I am going to go to Venezuela. Oh and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I am going to take William Contreras.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Oh William, not Wilson.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Sneaky, sneaky good there for William Contreras. All right, kid,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you are back up. You got your last selection. Ashley.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Now as a team of Murakami, Bobby Wood, Junior, Julio
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and William Contreras.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Anyway where you're going, anyone have a great Britain accent available?
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Sure, Ashley.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't advise taking a pick.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, I will not. I'll take Randy Rose Arena.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Randi Rose Arena. All right. I'm glad Mexico got represented
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: because Mexico's got a sneaky, deep good team as well.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Nolan Aernato is playing for Mexico, and so is Jared Duran.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Yea even ros Arenas not from Mexico, and Alejandro Kirk
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and Calandro Kirk he's from Mexico. And then Mooney on
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that team of course, ye closing it out. They might
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: make a little bit of noise here in this. But
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Randy Rose Arena. We got four Mariners picked or three?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: We got three Mariners picked? All right, I get the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: last selection of my team. I have not taken a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: US player. I will rectify that right now. Give me
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber the last pick. He's just really good in
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: these things, Like there is something about him that you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: home run Derby's and playoffs and big stages that Kyle
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Schwarber just has no problem with. As a matter of fact,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like he elevates his games. So yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: he probably would have been my fourth American that I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: would have taken out of the four that we're going
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to be taken in this draft. But I have no
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: problem getting him with my final pick. I kind of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: love it, actually like it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good one to pick.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: He was definitely I had a star by his name,
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: but then again, I had a star by like eight
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: guys in the US.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what's the different because they're like four
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: stacked lineups. Skins in schooble going to be the difference
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: because nobody else in this tournament has schemes or schooble
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and we've got them both.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: Except for they're not going to throw very much, you
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: know what I mean. You're gonna get three innings out
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: of these guys. Maybe it might get four if you
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: get later on in the thing, but I don't think
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: they're going to be stretching these guys out all of
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: a lot.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Dominicans got Christopher Sanchez, who's fantastic, but they're more bullpen
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and that's probably what's going to win is bullpen guys,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you know, throwing a lot of different guys because of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: they are shortened. But I think that's where the US
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: might hold its advantage, having those horses at the front
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of the rotation. All Right, the last pick buckets are
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: going to be.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: I am going to Team Japan. Give me Kazuma Akamoto.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something right now. I don't know
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: if anybody on this list has looked better at the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: plate so far in the spring training than this guy.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Every time I've seen him play, it's a laser beam somewhere.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So if he's hot right now, who I mean if
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: he doesn't end up being good for the Blue Jays,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and let's hope he doesn't, Yeah, who cares? If if
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: there is anything too, who looks really good swinging the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: bat in spring training so far, you probably got the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: hottest hitter in all of that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I'll take it with the last pick in the draft.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he looks really good, looks really good at
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the plate.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent that did not get taken.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of talent in general.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe James Paxton was on the Canadian team. Oh
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, big Maple, Yeah, uh, you know great.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Britain's got jazz Chisholm. Do you know that? That's why
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't know I was and I thought British.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's a lot of that. If
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you have a connection, then yeah you can. You can
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: apply and you can be on the team.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: You visited once, you could be like, you know what,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I was there for three weeks.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: So thin. Yeah, but their talent is so thin. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: mean they've got Prince Harry coming out of the bullpen,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and how good a chance do they really? Yeah?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean I suppose it's better than William slightly,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: he's too old for it, slightly, but the US team.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: You know what else, I like, just to close out
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the conversation, I love that du Rosa picked like a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Clement from the Blue Jet. He like has specialty players,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like bench guys to bring off the bench, like guys
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that aren't going to be angry being on the bench.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: He even thought of that. He's got Clayton Kershaw on
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the team. For goodness sake. He retired. Yeah, and he
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: believe me, he looks retired. He didn't do much working
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: out this offseason. No need to. You've got Paul Goldschmidt.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Just have a leader, Just to have a guy that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: everybody loves and kind of bends the zeer wherever he's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: been every time that they're getting ready for a bat.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: He thought of everything.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: I think, yeah, Well, he didn't have a chance to
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: the last time he did it, it was kind of
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: a roster was majority of a set, So this one
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: he got into a lot of it with a lot
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: of like, hey, Schwarbs, do you care if you're leading off?
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: He's like, no, I kind of would like the idea
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: of driving some guys in. Yeah, Like all right, good, then, Bobby,
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: you want to lead off? He's like, yep, love to.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: It's gonna be fun to watch. It's gonna be fun.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: All right, Bucky Steam, Aaron Judge, Luisa Rise, Fernando Tatist Junior,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and Caz Okamado or as I like to call him,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the Okomotive. Chuck's got show a Ronald Acuna Junior, Juan
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Soto and Schwarb's Kid with Cal Rawley, Seya Suzuki, Vladimir
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior, Randia Rose, Arena and Ashley with Munataka Murakami,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Bobby Witt Junior, Julio Rodriguez, and William Contreras. Yeah, a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: lot of the teams we've picked suck. Yeah, a lot
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of weak players in this group. All right. Al Kanisky's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: gonna join us next. On Sports Radio ninety three point
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: three kJ A r F M. Hey joining us now
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: as he does every Wednesday at this time, color analyst
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: for yours Seattle Crack and al Kiniski is with us
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: thanks to Queen Anne beer Hall right here on Chuck
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning. Good morning, Al, good morning.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: We just saw your broadcast partner. He just stopped by
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to say hello. Gave us all hugs. I figured out
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that you don't give us as money hugs as.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Ever does like zero. Yeah, did you did you bring
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: any biked goods or smoked meats? No?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: He did not. No, he didn't bring me a sandwich.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: One time advantage out.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: I've never I've never gotten a sandwich from you or
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: a hug, So.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I'll take that personal.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Uh. Well, just like that, the Crack and are playing
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: good hockey again. What a weird team that you cover
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: for a living, al Koniski. So the last couple of days,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: what has changed that has put this team back in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the win column?
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Last couple of games, Well, the boy snapped out of
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: the break essentially the first two games out of the break.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: It wasn't the kind of hockey we saw going into
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: the break. And yes, everybody else is the same time off,
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: but for whatever reason, they did not get things going
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: right away, and you know, coming out of the break
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: with those two losses was a bit of a wake
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: up call that hey, if we want to be a
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: playoff team, we're going to turn things around. And they
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: certainly did that over the last two games. So they've
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: canceled those those games out, those first two, and now
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: it's time to start building going forward. And you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Fitz and I talked about it a little bit like
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: the first ten out of the break, you want to go,
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: you know, seven and three, eight and two, maybe six
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: and four, but probably seven and three is about the
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: worst you can hope for. So that means they've got
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: to go on a bit of a winning streak here,
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: and I see no reason why they can't do it
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: with the schedule ahead.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: Well, the having snapped out of that a little bit
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: put them right back in the playoff hunt, right, I
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: think the third place at this point, at least that
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: yesterday when I looked at it, they were I mean,
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: is this now have they played themselves into a position
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: where the front office is for sure going to go
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: out there and add at the trade deadline here coming
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: up in a couple of days.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I definitely believe that they are making phone calls,
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: they are having commonversations. Now whether it happens or not,
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: we'll see in the next forty eight hours. But in
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: terms of the playoff standing, they slipped back into that
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: second wild card spot. Overnight they left they'd left the
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: win the other night in third place, but other teams
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: have played last night, and so they've slipped back into
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: that that that second wild card spot. But bucky that
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: the numbers are so tight between where the Kracking are
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: right now and that second wild card spot and the
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: top of the of the Pacific. It's three points. Vegas
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: has seventy points the Crack and have sixty seven. So
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: you know, one win, one loss can get you out
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: of the playoffs, can get you, you know, into second place.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Two or three wins that are all all of a
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: sudden you're looking at first place depending on what other
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: teams do with their games. So it's so tight right
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: now it makes it exciting. I guess if you're a fan,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: it makes a little nerve racking. I guess if you're
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: if your management for the Cracking, But you know, wins
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: mean so much right now, so yeah, I win tonight
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: puts the Cracking back into second place. And as far
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: as you're comment about the trade deadline coming up here
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: on Friday, I have to believe that there are conversations
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: being had for top forwards that are available out there.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Robert Thomas is one that's been talked about, a lot,
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Elias Petter set up in Vancouver has been talked about,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Jordan Kyrie has been talked about. For the Cracking to
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: go do something for a top forward, It's gonna take
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: some pain, you know, every big move does You're you're
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: not gonna send over a fruit basket in the second
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: round or to get a top forward. So you have
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: to ask yourself, you know, do you draft and pray,
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: which is what the team has been doing, or do
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: you pay and win. There's there's just no clearance rack
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: for for top franchise centers. So that's the way that
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: you've got to go into these conversations thinking about it.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: To get somebody in your top six, you're gonna have
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: to give something up. And as far as giving something up,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: names have been floating around. I won't speculate any further.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Well, what al Canisky did, would you pull the trigger
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: on something significant? To help the team right now, even
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: if it costs you a young player that you prize, Well,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you have to.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Ask yourself, you know, does it does a you know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: let's use Robert Thomas. He's he's a one seed. He's
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: a In fact, he's he's back in the lineup. As
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: of last game for the Saint Louis Blues he had
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: a goal and assists. He is an absolute proven one seed.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: He's twenty six years old. You put him in that
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: one seed spot with the Kraken. Maybe Maddy Veneers is
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: your two c Does that win you a playoff series?
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: I think the answer is yes, if you've got the
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: blue line and the goal to mean that this team
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: seems to have right now. I think that's the tweak
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: you're looking for in that top six group. You're not
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: looking for depth. This is an identity shift with the team. So, uh,
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: you've got you've got to You've got to change that
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: mindset of you know, we're not gonna wait in me
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: or we're not gonna be patient. We want to win now,
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: and to do that, you've got to give something up
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: big and it might be a Shane, you know, it
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: might be you know, an Alecxik. It might be both
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: of them, It might be prospects. You know, you've got
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: to give something up big to get something big, because
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: I guarantee you other teams are doing the same thing
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: for a guy like Robert Thomas.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: So would you prefer giving up somebody that has proven
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: that they're capable of competing like Shanewright at the NHL level?
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: But we don't know for sure how far the growth
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: is going to be, but obviously the ceiling is higher.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Or would it be.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: Somebody that is, like you said with Alexiak, like somebody
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: that's more of a veteran guy and you're kind of
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: getting rid of some money as well.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I think both pieces could be part of
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: a bigger package. It really just depends on the team
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: you're talking to and what they're looking for. Jamie Alexiak
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: had a fantastic game that o Night hit eleven hits
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: in the game, I just just under the record held
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: by Hikemanson at twelve. But you know, he's playing some
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: of his best hockey of the season right now, So
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: you know, if he's somebody that you're you're you're prepared
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: to move, You're you're gonna assuming that play continues, you're
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: gonna lose that play from him. And again that's part
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: of the pain that you've got to You've got to
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: give up to get somebody that's a top six forward.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: So uh, and then the Shane Wright piece. You know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Shane Wright has continued to develop since he's been here,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: but some might say he's stalled out a little bit
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: right now. Does that mean that that continues? I don't know.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: You'd like to see him take that next step here
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: of the remaining twenty games, twenty two games. If he
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: did that, then he too is part of the equation
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: of getting you into deep into the playoffs. If he doesn't,
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: and he remains stalled out, then he becomes part of
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: maybe a package to go get a top line at centerment,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: a top line wing or something like that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, I know, I'll fired up. Everybody was to
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: see if Shane Wright could continue from a year ago
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: into this season. Same thing with Yannie Nieman who came
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: up at the end of the year. You see the
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: talent as a skater, as score but al I mean,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: when this team plays well, it's Jacob Malanson and Myers,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: they're the young guys that seem to be making the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: bigger impact on this team. Talk about Ben Myers and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Milanson and just the way they play hockey and what
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: they've done to help this team win hockey games this year.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, Ben Myers is a is a proven centerman.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: You know, he's first perst of all. I mean this
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: and this never really factors into anything. He's got to
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: He's a great team guy. He's a great guy on
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: the bench, great guy in the locker room, great guy
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: to talk to you just even off the ice. So
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: that's where you start with a guy like Ben Myers.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: But you know, he he's good in that he can
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: work with anybody on the wing. He can actually play wing,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: which I thought was fantastic. I talked to the other
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: day when he was slotted to the left side with
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: Freddie Gudroux in the middle, and I said, this is
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: this new for you? Is this uncomfortable? He goes, No,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: I played it earlier in the season. I'm playing with it,
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: and you know, he had a good game that night.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: So when you've got a utility guy like Ben Myers
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: that can flip back and forth between center and wing,
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: he becomes more valuable in the case of Jacob Alanson again,
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: you know, great guy, great personality. You know, his game
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: is simple. He's not looking for that highlight reel that
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: floats around, you know, the social networks for the next
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: three days of where you blow somebody up at center ice.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: He just wants to go out every ship, certainly in
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: the first two periods, and finish his checks. If that
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: means behind the net, along the boards, wherever. He doesn't care.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: He doesn't care if you're six eight or five eights.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: He's going to finish the check on you. And I
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: like that mentality about him because, as he said the
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: other day, you do that over the first two periods
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: and then in the third period they're kind of looking
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: over their shoulder a little bit, and maybe you get
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: to a puck quicker, maybe you steal a puck off
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: of them a little bit quicker, and that only helps
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: the team.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, close with us. Can we say that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: al Konski is reporting that Robert Thomas will be a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Kraken by the time they drop the puck tonight against
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the Blues Zuck. Can we go with that?
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: Well, you can say that Robert Thomas is someone that
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: a lot of teams are looking to add to their roster,
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: and I believe I'm not saying I believe the cracking
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: or one of them.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if we traded, if the trade went down like
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: between now and game time though, I mean, he could
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: be in a cracking uniform tonight, right.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Goody good yeah, packing extra bag Stan Seattle. The weather's beautiful.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Today, all right out, we'll have fun on the call tonight.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And you know sandwich is soon, all right.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, sandwiches soon, smoked meat, you.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Got it, Al Kanisky color Analysts for your Seattle cracking again.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: They're going to drop the pucket seven o'clock tonight at
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: home against the Saint Louis Blues and Robert Thomas Owl's
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: segment brought to you by Queen Anne beer Hall, home
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: of the legendary smash Burger, and your pre posting away
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: game Headquarters pregame at six thirty tonight right here on
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM. One
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Last Things next, my final segment of the radio program.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Time for one last thing, and that's all the time
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: we have. Bucky, what do you got?
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: The Trent McDuffie trade is interesting. I mean, I don't
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: know if it's earth shattering by stretching imagination, but you
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: kind of said, you know, yeah as well, especially since
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: he's coming into the division. It's that's a big move,
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: and it seems like the Chiefs are maybe nearing well
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: right now. I think you're starting to see the aspect
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: of the team friendly deal that Patrick Mahomes and every
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: year he still restructures it and allows some cap space
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: to be made for the team, but I mean, he's
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: making some big bucks at this point in time, so
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: it's almost one of those they're not able to keep
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: paying all these all stars that were leading.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Them to Super Bowl after Super Bowl.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: I mean, they're going to keep Patrick obviously and as
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: many guys as they can. But that's that's a big
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: one because I think that's their second big Pro Bowl
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: type cornerback that they've lost this offseason.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: They've cleared like twenty couple of people reworked their deals,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: including Mahomes, to create like twenty million in cap space,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and then the trade of McDuffie today, and that was
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: for a first rounder to the Rams, a third rounder,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: a fifth rounder.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: And next year's seventh round, no next year's third rounder.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Next year's third, maybe first a fifth of sixth the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: next year's third, I believe, And I'm doing that off
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: at the top of my head. So anyway, McDuffie's now
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: a RAM and the chiefs aret trying to create some
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: cap space. I think, really secretively, what they would like
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: is for Travis Kelce to retire probably. I mean, I
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: think his game has declined to the point where they're
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: still paying him top of the market, tight end money
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and even though he certainly is maybe the second greatest
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: chief of all time. Yeah, and they love him. They also,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I think, would kind of like to get out from
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: underneath his salary for a decline employer. But we'll see.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Let they we'll see what they end up doing with that,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: all right, Ashley, what do you got for one last thing?
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Well, mine was actually going to be about the trade
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: for McDuffie as well, because Maholmes what took to clearly
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: isn't thrilled with it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: He wrote, went on.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: To social media and just wrote damn dot dot dot Yeah. Yeah,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: so I think they, you know, they're all seeing the
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: writing on the wall. I Oh, things are changing. We
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: ain't the same team we were before, and now it's official.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you if you know what you're doing,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: you can turn it over pretty quickly. And I do
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: think the Chiefs know what they're doing. There might be
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: some merits pat to the fact that we weren't very
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: good this year and the year before we weren't as
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: good as our record indicated. We won an awful lot
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of even though they ended up in the Super Bowl.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I'd rather I'd rather jump one year too early than
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: one year too late. Absolutely, if I'm an NFL franchise,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: And maybe the writing is on the wall. So yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: it stinks. It stinks for a team that has done
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: nothing but win.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really really stinks.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to try to to try to face like having
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you know, because you had a bad year last year
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and you're probably not going to completely recover this year.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't think so.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: But maybe they are doing the necessary evil to get
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: them back where they need to be.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mahomes and Reid could very well pull a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: John Schneider and those two could have a completely different
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: team that wins the Super Bowl. Yeah you know what
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, Absolutely, Mahomes and Reed are the two
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: foundation pieces. They turn everything till the soil, turn it
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: completely over, and I wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: at all. In two or three years, two three, maybe
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: two years, they're back in Super Bowl contention and they
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: go on another run. They're just that good at that organization.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah they are, I mean, and I just don't know
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: for sure. I mean, you you can keep restructuring that
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: deal all you want, but eventually it just to me,
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: it feels like this is the time. And they had
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: a long time there where he was making significantly less
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: than the best quarterback in the game does Now he's not,
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: even though they're they're finding ways to restructure and just
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: turn it into signing Moss and still you got to
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: pay the piper.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Eventually. I had McDuffie written down too, so I wasn't
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: going to share this, but now with my one last thing,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I will. Uh. Sometimes you people on the old Twitter
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: machine are pretty clever. There's a breaking news story from
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: NFL memes. Okay, and I don't mean to promote them
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: if they traditionally suck, but this is pretty funny. The
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: United States military is sending Geno Smith to the Middle
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: East to help overthrow the Iranian regime.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: Oh that's pretty good, pretty good.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Whoever you did that? Just imagine catching that stray.
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Geno and you just all this political it was
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: even there, Yeah, geopolitical discourse and somebody still looks at
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: the horror the atrocity going on and just decides the
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: throw a Geno Smith joke in there. Well, he did
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: leave a team, and then the team he went to
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: became worst, and the team you left was first.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: He's pretty cocky there at the end too.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Well. He didn't keep receipts though, or No, he did
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: keep receipts.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: No, he.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: A lot of people wrote him off.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: He didn't right back.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he should have maybe written back.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I think he was good just to leave that line alone. Yeah,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: because that was kind of a good Geno time. Yeah,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: but he sort of just kind of got crustier after. Yeah, like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: don't you actually don't you? Doesn't your mood improve when
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: you've proven so many wrong? How did it just keep
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: getting worse?
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, that'll do it for us today.
