- 0:27Speaker 1: action never stopped?
- 0:28Speaker 2: Are you writing this down? Something complete?
- 0:31Speaker 3: This is Chuck and Buck.
- 0:33Speaker 4: In the Morning.
- 0:33Speaker 5: What's up?
- 0:34Speaker 1: Bot?
- 0:34Speaker 6: Why you people are beyond you?
- 0:36Speaker 2: Let's go, let's get the game off. Well, good morning,
- 0:52Speaker 2: Welcome in. It is the Thursday edition of Chuck and
- 0:54Speaker 2: Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 0:57Speaker 2: k j R f M. My name is Chuck Powell.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Ryan is here. We are your hosts for the next
- 1:02Speaker 2: four hours. No Bucky Jacobson again today, and so we
- 1:06Speaker 2: get you set for a very busy show on the
- 1:09Speaker 2: program that a lot of busy shows here as of late.
- 1:11Speaker 2: We've had fires in the building. We've had engineers introducing
- 1:16Speaker 2: YouTube channels, which apparently is down today. There's a lot
- 1:19Speaker 2: of tinkering going on around KJAR these days. A lot
- 1:24Speaker 2: of engineer, a lot of people with their hands in
- 1:26Speaker 2: the kitchen, and I would like for you to get
- 1:29Speaker 2: to the point. I get that you're very valuable members
- 1:32Speaker 2: of our organization and you really do keep us on
- 1:35Speaker 2: the airwaves, and they're very excellent at what they do,
- 1:37Speaker 2: Terry Ryan and the group. But I would like for
- 1:39Speaker 2: you to get to the end of this because there's
- 1:42Speaker 2: a lot of tinkering going on and people that are
- 1:45Speaker 2: slaves to their routine don't like dealing with tinkering every day.
- 1:49Speaker 6: Your anti tinker.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm a tinker to a certain point. Right
- 1:53Speaker 2: were the tinker when you do excessive tinkering. Now now
- 1:57Speaker 2: you're just a problem. Now you're problematic.
- 2:00Speaker 6: It seems that you're just tinkering to tinker with us.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I think they actually have an objective and it just
- 2:06Speaker 2: requires a lot of tinkering, and you have to do
- 2:08Speaker 2: it in installments. You can't just take a radio station
- 2:12Speaker 2: down and then do it all uh so you has
- 2:15Speaker 2: it has to be done periodically. So I'm gonna go
- 2:17Speaker 2: ahead and sympathize for that, and I am going to
- 2:19Speaker 2: recognize you as valuable. You andrews Hurst, I'm not so
- 2:22Speaker 2: sure you're that bear Oh yeah. So my buddy Andrews.
- 2:26Speaker 2: He's a tinkerer too, and he's not an engineer. He
- 2:29Speaker 2: just likes coming in here and messing with stuff.
- 2:31Speaker 6: Uh oh oh no, what do he do this time?
- 2:35Speaker 7: How did?
- 2:35Speaker 2: I don't even know. I really think he's one of
- 2:38Speaker 2: those types. And the young people can be this way.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I'm sure I was to a degree when I was young,
- 2:43Speaker 2: and I'm sure that the older generation said this about
- 2:45Speaker 2: me to a degree. I don't remember this, but I'm
- 2:49Speaker 2: not going to sit here and say that I wasn't it.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Maybe I was this, I don't know, and maybe the
- 2:55Speaker 2: older generation said the same thing about us. But there
- 2:58Speaker 2: are certain people of the next generation, Andershurst being kind
- 3:02Speaker 2: of the poster boy for it.
- 3:04Speaker 8: Uh.
- 3:04Speaker 2: That is like, if the older generation is going to
- 3:07Speaker 2: do it that way, then I'm going to do it
- 3:09Speaker 2: this way. And I mean everything like the chair was
- 3:12Speaker 2: all the way down, the arm rests were all the
- 3:15Speaker 2: way up, but no decent human beings sits in a
- 3:19Speaker 2: chair that way.
- 3:19Speaker 9: I do put the armress all the way up and
- 3:21Speaker 9: put the chair pretty low. It's actually up a little
- 3:23Speaker 9: too high for me right now, is that right?
- 3:25Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean this we were we deal with high tops,
- 3:29Speaker 2: and I have to see people from across the room
- 3:32Speaker 2: and through a glass.
- 3:33Speaker 6: And for that I understanding.
- 3:34Speaker 2: But you sit behind a television or a computer monitor
- 3:38Speaker 2: with your armress up into your arm pits and get
- 3:41Speaker 2: anything done.
- 3:41Speaker 9: I just mine even with the table, yeah, because typing
- 3:45Speaker 9: it's too hard if if the chair's up too high.
- 3:48Speaker 1: One.
- 3:48Speaker 9: I don't like the armress too low because I like
- 3:50Speaker 9: to actually use them. That's what they're there for. So
- 3:52Speaker 9: I can't have the chair up too high because I
- 3:54Speaker 9: like to use the armress. But I have to have
- 3:55Speaker 9: the armress at the level of the table so I
- 3:56Speaker 9: can type, because otherwise I'm like, see, maybe Marionette, someone's
- 4:02Speaker 9: just pulling my strings to make me tight.
- 4:03Speaker 2: See to me. If you put the arm rests up,
- 4:05Speaker 2: that's where you have to that's when you're Marionette.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:08Speaker 9: But if you're above the table, if you're at the table, yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 9: I go right at table level.
- 4:13Speaker 2: It's set up normally. I normally come in here and
- 4:16Speaker 2: there's a little bit of an adjustment to make. But
- 4:18Speaker 2: when anders Hurst sits in this chair, which all hell broke,
- 4:21Speaker 2: I knew that it was him as soon as I
- 4:23Speaker 2: came in here and I don't even know what he
- 4:25Speaker 2: did to the new configuration of the microphone that was like, uh,
- 4:30Speaker 2: I mean I had to like rebuild the thing.
- 4:33Speaker 6: Oh gosh uh and then for an engineering job.
- 4:35Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't even know how you
- 4:37Speaker 2: we can even function that way. And I think he's
- 4:39Speaker 2: just doing it on purpose. He's just like, I'm not
- 4:41Speaker 2: gonna nobody's gonna come in here and think that I
- 4:44Speaker 2: talk into a microphone like old people.
- 4:48Speaker 6: So it'd be a terrible thing to have people think,
- 4:50Speaker 6: wouldn't it, you.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Know, having it perfectly adjusted so that it actually is
- 4:54Speaker 2: next to your mouth. I mean, that's what an old
- 4:56Speaker 2: person would do. I'm a young person, so I have
- 4:59Speaker 2: to adjusted to a degree that I've got to sit
- 5:02Speaker 2: thirteen feet away from the actual table and then lean
- 5:07Speaker 2: forward with my arm rests and my armpits while I
- 5:11Speaker 2: sit with my chin on the table. Because that's all
- 5:13Speaker 2: I can see. That's how a young person.
- 5:15Speaker 9: I mean, I would really hope that that's how he
- 5:17Speaker 9: does it, because I would then laugh really hard watching
- 5:20Speaker 9: him do it.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I really like that kid, but sometimes I want to
- 5:22Speaker 2: drown him. Yeah, that's there.
- 5:24Speaker 9: I mean, that's it's like a close relationship.
- 5:27Speaker 6: Oh it's love and drowning.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Uh huh, yeah, yeah, that's what happened. I mean, there
- 5:30Speaker 2: are people angry with Andrea's mun yos last night because
- 5:33Speaker 2: he had one bad day. I've been dealing with his
- 5:35Speaker 2: herst crap for years, that's right.
- 5:36Speaker 6: Yeah, so now talk to us about a bad day.
- 5:39Speaker 7: Uh huh.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Oh.
- 5:40Speaker 9: By the way, the YouTube thing I will say for
- 5:42Speaker 9: people who are listening, Uh, it's.
- 5:44Speaker 6: Just for today.
- 5:45Speaker 2: They upgraded our cameras, see tinkerers.
- 5:47Speaker 9: Yeah, but it's gonna be good because I'm looking at
- 5:49Speaker 9: you on this screen and you look a hell of
- 5:51Speaker 9: a lot more clear than you did yesterday.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, but they can't nobody can see me.
- 5:55Speaker 9: Well no, because there's like now we're going to have
- 5:57Speaker 9: a way to just like I can move the cameras
- 6:00Speaker 9: to waste a day.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Where I look a whole hell of a lot better
- 6:02Speaker 2: than I.
- 6:02Speaker 6: You're gonna look better tomorrow.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Oh is that right?
- 6:04Speaker 10: Ready?
- 6:05Speaker 2: Okay?
- 6:05Speaker 6: Ready to live, my friend?
- 6:08Speaker 2: Yes, I will do that. I will make sure tonight.
- 6:12Speaker 2: I tell the unicorn, Hey, tomorrow, I gotta get ready
- 6:14Speaker 2: to live. Yeah, so don't give me any crap.
- 6:17Speaker 6: Yeah, no, guff tonight.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, don't hurst me.
- 6:19Speaker 6: No, not tonight, oh and again today.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Uh oh, he'll screw everything up. Yeah, it's a lovable jackass,
- 6:27Speaker 2: is what that guy is. All Right, well, good morning
- 6:30Speaker 2: to you. We've got a lot to break down today
- 6:32Speaker 2: other than our gripes about our coworkers. So let's get
- 6:36Speaker 2: to last night's just ridiculousness.
- 6:41Speaker 6: I just yelled, are you effing kidding me?
- 6:45Speaker 2: If they didn't say effing Mariners below a six nothing
- 6:48Speaker 2: lead in the game last night against the San Diego Padres.
- 6:51Speaker 2: I mean, it was one of those like you know
- 6:55Speaker 2: where you you you, and the seventh inning you're like, hey,
- 6:58Speaker 2: let me get a let me take out the trh
- 7:00Speaker 2: real quick, so I don't need to be hanging on
- 7:02Speaker 2: every pitch. We got this one that, I mean, that's
- 7:05Speaker 2: what it felt like, certainly last night, and instead six
- 7:11Speaker 2: to two because you went with Emerson a little longer
- 7:14Speaker 2: than I think. He was actually probably tired by then.
- 7:18Speaker 2: But I get it. You got a six run lead,
- 7:20Speaker 2: let's try to steal a couple of bouts. You keep
- 7:22Speaker 2: him in there, six to two, bullpen, even though everybody's
- 7:26Speaker 2: blaming the bullpen. The next couple of guys got the job. Done,
- 7:30Speaker 2: and then you take a four run lead into the
- 7:32Speaker 2: bottom of the ninth with one of the best closers
- 7:35Speaker 2: in the world. He has not been on his game
- 7:38Speaker 2: this year, but he tends to still get through it.
- 7:42Speaker 2: And last night he did not get through it, Andres
- 7:44Speaker 2: Munios ends up giving up five runs in the bottom
- 7:48Speaker 2: of the ninth, the game winner a Jackson Merrill doubled
- 7:52Speaker 2: on the left field line against Jose Ferrera. I mean,
- 7:54Speaker 2: when's the last time we saw Mooney get pulled from
- 7:57Speaker 2: a game? Yeah?
- 7:58Speaker 9: Well, and then everybody was like, oh, garbage. It's like, well,
- 8:01Speaker 9: Frere's going in in a bad situation. Should he have
- 8:03Speaker 9: gotten the out?
- 8:04Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 8:04Speaker 6: I would have loved it.
- 8:06Speaker 2: But I don't think he's garbage, and I don't think
- 8:09Speaker 2: Munos is garbage. And again it's overreaction. It's a terrible loss. Yes,
- 8:15Speaker 2: it shouldn't have happened. Munos has not been as sharp
- 8:20Speaker 2: as we need him to be. We want him to
- 8:23Speaker 2: be that we're accustomed to seeing. I mean, but we've
- 8:26Speaker 2: had one of the best closers in the sport for
- 8:29Speaker 2: the last two years. Go look it up. Yeah, and
- 8:32Speaker 2: he's been good ever since. He's put on the Mariner uniform.
- 8:35Speaker 2: There's really not been a bad year other than the
- 8:37Speaker 2: year that he lost to injury since he became a Mariner.
- 8:41Speaker 2: We need him, Yes, we need him to be good.
- 8:45Speaker 2: This bullpen made it a couple of additions in the offseason,
- 8:49Speaker 2: but everything that they did bullpen wise this offseason was
- 8:52Speaker 2: built around the fact that we've got a top flight closer.
- 8:55Speaker 2: He's still throwing one hundred at sinker last night was nasty.
- 8:59Speaker 2: He was moving all over the place. I don't know
- 9:01Speaker 2: why we're throwing sliders that aren't working. And I and
- 9:06Speaker 2: there is something to this, and man, I challenge scientists
- 9:11Speaker 2: to figure it out. Or maybe it's not scientists. I
- 9:14Speaker 2: think it's psychologists that need to figure this out. There
- 9:17Speaker 2: is something to established closers when they run out onto
- 9:21Speaker 2: the foot, onto the football, onto the baseball field, from
- 9:25Speaker 2: the from the bullpen, and if there's not a save
- 9:28Speaker 2: on the line, they don't pitches effectively. And I think
- 9:32Speaker 2: Munno's is one of these. And I don't know if
- 9:35Speaker 2: it's just like your intensity is just not ratcheted up enough,
- 9:38Speaker 2: but sometimes you feel better Munyo's coming in in a
- 9:41Speaker 2: one run game than a four run game. Yeah, I agree,
- 9:44Speaker 2: and I don't blame Dan Wilson at all for his
- 9:47Speaker 2: use of Andre's Munos. I realize that we're frustrated, angry
- 9:51Speaker 2: with an eight and eleven start. You're angry about blowing
- 9:54Speaker 2: a six run lead again. Oh yeah, and you should be.
- 9:59Speaker 2: They're angry about that. But I don't see where Dan
- 10:04Speaker 2: Wilson went wrong last night. I actually am glad that.
- 10:09Speaker 2: I mean, typically Dan does the oh Man, Well, it's
- 10:13Speaker 2: not a safe situation, so let's not bring in our closer.
- 10:17Speaker 2: I was relieved to see Munyos hasn't pitched in days.
- 10:21Speaker 2: You don't want him to get flat. If anything, it's
- 10:23Speaker 2: been too long since he's pitched. You don't want him
- 10:26Speaker 2: to get flat. You don't want a week to go
- 10:29Speaker 2: by without him being used. And so it was six
- 10:33Speaker 2: to two. It was not a safe situation. They show
- 10:36Speaker 2: Munyos in the bullpen, and I'm like, good, we don't.
- 10:39Speaker 2: We don't have to play this silly game where Munyos
- 10:42Speaker 2: needs a statistic in order to get motivated. But he
- 10:46Speaker 2: might need a statistic in order to get motivated. He's
- 10:49Speaker 2: not the only person that falls a victim to this.
- 10:51Speaker 2: There are a lot of closers that I need it
- 10:53Speaker 2: to be closer. I need a stat on the line
- 10:55Speaker 2: for me to be really locked in, and certainly he
- 10:59Speaker 2: wasn't locked in. Wasn't the only problem. We're going to
- 11:02Speaker 2: get to some of that here in a moment. Certainly
- 11:04Speaker 2: wasn't locked in. You don't, as a closer of a
- 11:06Speaker 2: team come in with a four run lead and walk
- 11:09Speaker 2: the first guy that you face. I mean, there's cardinal
- 11:11Speaker 2: sin number one. And that's what he did. And he
- 11:14Speaker 2: certainly was not sharp, and the slider was not working.
- 11:17Speaker 2: And he's been a little erratic this year. He certainly
- 11:22Speaker 2: has not been great, and that came back to bite
- 11:25Speaker 2: him last night, and so he costs up the lead.
- 11:28Speaker 2: You want to blame, somebody, blame Andres Munos last night.
- 11:32Speaker 2: But I hope that we're not sick of Andre's Munos
- 11:37Speaker 2: because he's been fantastic as a Mariner and he will
- 11:41Speaker 2: be good again this year. It's not like the velocity
- 11:45Speaker 2: was down last night. His slider was off, and that's
- 11:47Speaker 2: his best pitch. I don't know why somebody's best pitch
- 11:50Speaker 2: when they throw one hundred and two miles per hour
- 11:52Speaker 2: as their slider, but that's the case with Andres Munos.
- 11:55Speaker 2: So he did not have his best pitch last night.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Kyle kept calling for it. I don't know why, and
- 11:59Speaker 2: he wasn't executing it, and and he coughs up a
- 12:03Speaker 2: four run lead. It should not happen, but occasionally it
- 12:06Speaker 2: does happen in this sport.
- 12:08Speaker 9: Yeah, And it was just I don't know the whole
- 12:11Speaker 9: thing somebody sending in on the text line. I didn't
- 12:13Speaker 9: have a good feeling when we went into the ninth,
- 12:15Speaker 9: and it's interesting I did until that walk, and then
- 12:18Speaker 9: I was like, oh no, now what And I thought, why,
- 12:20Speaker 9: We're just gonna make this too close, too close for comfort, which,
- 12:23Speaker 9: as Mariners fans, I think we're accustomed.
- 12:24Speaker 2: He does that a lot.
- 12:25Speaker 6: Yeah, So I was like, okay, I.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Mean, he's not Fernando Rodney, but he does it more
- 12:28Speaker 2: than we want him to.
- 12:29Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. So I thought, Okay, it's gonna be fine.
- 12:32Speaker 9: We've got a four run cushion. He's just gonna make
- 12:34Speaker 9: us stress out till we get there. And then as
- 12:36Speaker 9: I'm watching, I'm thinking, oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.
- 12:38Speaker 9: And when the game was over, I thought about our
- 12:40Speaker 9: conversation after Tuesday's loss, and how, yeah, you just have
- 12:45Speaker 9: some games that it's like, Okay, onto the next one,
- 12:47Speaker 9: Onto the next one. And there's some that feel like
- 12:49Speaker 9: more than you lost one game, and some that feel
- 12:53Speaker 9: like more that you won won.
- 12:54Speaker 6: That one felt like more of a loss.
- 12:57Speaker 2: It just was more of a bad loss. It was
- 12:59Speaker 2: a bad law Yeah, bad loss, no getting around it.
- 13:02Speaker 2: I didn't think the night before was all that bad
- 13:04Speaker 2: and loss last night was a terrible loss. I mean you,
- 13:09Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, you can't kick that game. But it
- 13:12Speaker 2: does happen over the course on hundred and six. Every
- 13:14Speaker 2: team's gonna blow a multiple run lead in the ninth
- 13:18Speaker 2: inning this year. To blow a six run lead, you know,
- 13:22Speaker 2: over the course of four innings. I mean, I'm not
- 13:27Speaker 2: gonna offer up h I'm not gonna listen to excuses
- 13:32Speaker 2: for it, but it does happen. There are reasons behind,
- 13:35Speaker 2: and there were reasons behind last night as well. I mean, again,
- 13:40Speaker 2: I haven't got the Taser purchased yet. You might want
- 13:42Speaker 2: to order that on Amazon. There was a lot of
- 13:45Speaker 2: crappy luck again in that inning. I mean, it wasn't
- 13:49Speaker 2: all Andres Munno's sucks. Gavin Sheets got sawed off at
- 13:55Speaker 2: the hands and squeezes a double down the left field line.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Mun Yokes beat him on that pitch and Sheets got
- 14:02Speaker 2: a double out of it. So now you got two
- 14:05Speaker 2: runners on ty France, the slowest runner in the sport.
- 14:09Speaker 1: We know that.
- 14:10Speaker 2: I mean, he couldn't stand at home plate and roll
- 14:13Speaker 2: the ball to an area in the field and get
- 14:16Speaker 2: an infield single. The only way he's going to get
- 14:19Speaker 2: it is if he has a chopper off the plate
- 14:22Speaker 2: that lands behind the mound where a pitcher's trying. A
- 14:26Speaker 2: pitcher is trying to field the ball while going downhill
- 14:30Speaker 2: and looking at a ball arcing down toward him. That's
- 14:34Speaker 2: the only way Ty France even legs out an infield single.
- 14:38Speaker 2: And that happened in the inning, and even the last
- 14:41Speaker 2: game winning hit. It's I mean, that was an inch
- 14:45Speaker 2: fair Jackson. Merrill had looked tardy on both Farrer fastballs.
- 14:50Speaker 6: I thought it was foul.
- 14:51Speaker 2: The first I thought cal was gonna come with a slider.
- 14:54Speaker 2: I thought Merril was set up for a slider, even
- 14:56Speaker 2: though that's not Farrere's pitch. But he was tardy on
- 14:59Speaker 2: two straight swings, and I thought, well, he's gonna have
- 15:02Speaker 2: to try to get out in front of this, so
- 15:04Speaker 2: he's gonna start a little bit early. It's perfect time
- 15:07Speaker 2: to you know, snap off a snapdragon here and for
- 15:11Speaker 2: Air comes back with the fastball and he's late again,
- 15:13Speaker 2: but just not as late as he was on the
- 15:16Speaker 2: previous two swings, and he winds it down the left
- 15:19Speaker 2: field line and it hits chalk and you lose the
- 15:22Speaker 2: baseball game because of it. Even that was a break
- 15:26Speaker 2: for the San Diego Padres. So look, that's a bad loss.
- 15:31Speaker 2: There are reasons behind it. I don't want to hear
- 15:33Speaker 2: any excuses. You do have to wear it, but again,
- 15:37Speaker 2: it really was, you know, a configuration of Andre's Munnos
- 15:43Speaker 2: not being sharp, not having his best pitch, and the
- 15:47Speaker 2: San Diego Padres catching a lot of breaks in order
- 15:51Speaker 2: to make that comeback possible in the bottom of the ninth.
- 15:54Speaker 2: And I hope that there's a game down the line,
- 15:57Speaker 2: you know, in July where we're facing the Angels and
- 16:00Speaker 2: we're down nine and we hit thirteen consecutive bloopers over
- 16:04Speaker 2: the second baseman's head and win it by a run.
- 16:07Speaker 2: And we won't apologize because we'll circle this game and say,
- 16:10Speaker 2: did you see how we lost to the Padres back
- 16:13Speaker 2: on April fifteenth. Yeah, yeah, maybe. Yeah, it evened oubt.
- 16:17Speaker 2: If you've got a problem, angels, take it, take it
- 16:19Speaker 2: to San Diego. Yeah, they're the ones that owe you
- 16:21Speaker 2: will win.
- 16:22Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys can go have the chat.
- 16:23Speaker 2: We're going home, right. So it stinks and the team
- 16:28Speaker 2: just can't get going, and it felt like that was
- 16:31Speaker 2: a game that they had in their back pocket and
- 16:33Speaker 2: they end up blowing it. So sucks. Terrible comeback loss
- 16:39Speaker 2: at the hands of the San Diego Padres. If I
- 16:41Speaker 2: have any other blame, I mean, I'm putting it all
- 16:43Speaker 2: on Munno's and he'll take it. He'll accept it.
- 16:46Speaker 6: Wasn't She's probably putting it all on himself.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I had a four run lead. I'm the closer. I'm
- 16:50Speaker 2: supposed to be one of the best in the business
- 16:51Speaker 2: at this I'm not exactly one hundred percent on my
- 16:54Speaker 2: game yet this season, but I got a hold of
- 16:56Speaker 2: four run lead. He's gonna He's the first person that's
- 16:59Speaker 2: gonna volunteer and say that if I have any issues
- 17:02Speaker 2: with Dan, I don't know. If I worry as much
- 17:06Speaker 2: about a lefty lefty.
- 17:07Speaker 6: Matchup, please that would be nice, you know.
- 17:10Speaker 2: As much as I do. Hey, has he ever closed
- 17:14Speaker 2: his does what's his experience closing game. I think Brash
- 17:17Speaker 2: is more comfortable in that situation, and I don't think
- 17:21Speaker 2: Brash struggles against left handers, So I think maybe I
- 17:24Speaker 2: use the guy who's my second best reliever, And even
- 17:29Speaker 2: I think Spire is still my third best reliever, but
- 17:31Speaker 2: you'd already used him in the game, So I don't
- 17:34Speaker 2: know if I'm sending my fourth best reliever to the
- 17:37Speaker 2: mound without a rich history of closing out games to
- 17:41Speaker 2: get out one of their best hitters. And I realized
- 17:43Speaker 2: the lefties lefty righty splits for Jackson, Merrill says that
- 17:47Speaker 2: he struggles more against lefties than he does against righty's.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I get that, but I think maybe I lean toward
- 17:54Speaker 2: letting the better pitcher pitch in that situation and getting
- 17:57Speaker 2: me out of that thing.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:59Speaker 2: So, and even that though faces Ferrera, Ferrero looks like
- 18:02Speaker 2: he's dominating him with his fastball, and Merrill just got
- 18:07Speaker 2: around just quick enough that he lines it down the
- 18:11Speaker 2: left field line an inch fare and we lose the game.
- 18:14Speaker 2: So stinks, just stinks.
- 18:16Speaker 9: It did sink, And I was hoping we were going
- 18:18Speaker 9: to come in today talking about that we had a
- 18:20Speaker 9: chance to win the series.
- 18:22Speaker 6: Tonight, and now we just have to hope we don't
- 18:23Speaker 6: get swept.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Yeah, our big problem was supposed to be man Emerson
- 18:28Speaker 2: Hancock looked great again. Pressures on Luis Castillo tonight. YEP,
- 18:32Speaker 2: that was gonna be the big conversation. And it turns
- 18:35Speaker 2: out that I have now two segments entitled on the
- 18:37Speaker 2: show on our rundown today the Munios meltdown. So that's
- 18:41Speaker 2: what we have to talk about. All right, Let's find
- 18:43Speaker 2: out what's on tap for the rest of the show,
- 18:47Speaker 2: what's on te what's.
- 18:50Speaker 3: On all right?
- 18:51Speaker 2: Seven to six padres over the Mariners last night. We'll
- 18:54Speaker 2: certainly talk about it as the show goes on. We're
- 18:56Speaker 2: not done with that conversation. Luis Castillo gets the start tonight.
- 19:00Speaker 2: He needs a good outing at this stage. He's taken
- 19:03Speaker 2: on Walker Buehler where last night starting pitching matchup was
- 19:06Speaker 2: very similar. It was Randy Vasquez and Emerson Hancock, talented
- 19:09Speaker 2: pitchers who had not yet proven it in the major
- 19:12Speaker 2: leagues until this year, and both were off the great starts.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Very similar matchup last night. Kind of a similar situation here,
- 19:19Speaker 2: two very accomplished veteran starting pitchers and Castillo and Bueler
- 19:24Speaker 2: off to bad starts and maybe having to think that
- 19:27Speaker 2: do you still have it? I think Bueller's a little
- 19:31Speaker 2: more concerned than Castillo, but Bueller's numbers are better than
- 19:34Speaker 2: Castillo at this point in the season. Five point forty
- 19:37Speaker 2: first pitch. We'll talk more about that with Mariners morning
- 19:40Speaker 2: after at six point thirty. The Rainiers are playing Tomorrow night,
- 19:45Speaker 2: and I know they play more than Tomorrow night, but
- 19:47Speaker 2: we as at KJI are going to be out there.
- 19:50Speaker 2: I'm going to be out there doing some color analysis
- 19:53Speaker 2: during the game with Riley Pay, and Softy and Dick
- 19:57Speaker 2: are going to be out there doing their show. So
- 19:58Speaker 2: it's our first race near Night Emerson. We get to
- 20:02Speaker 2: see Colt Emerson. So we have six of these during
- 20:04Speaker 2: the course of the season. So our first one is
- 20:07Speaker 2: tomorrow night. And Riley Pay, the play by play voice
- 20:09Speaker 2: of the Rayniers, is going to join us today at
- 20:11Speaker 2: nine thirty. She'll clue us in on what she's seeing
- 20:14Speaker 2: from Colt Emerson and company. We are seven days, seven
- 20:17Speaker 2: sleeps from the NFL Draft. Next Thursday, the first picks
- 20:21Speaker 2: will come off the board, and of course we celebrate
- 20:23Speaker 2: it with Draft miss. Today we have our mockumentarian joining
- 20:27Speaker 2: us today. It's going to be Josh Edwards from CBS Sports.
- 20:30Speaker 2: We also have Santa's backsack, so we'll take a look
- 20:33Speaker 2: at the running backs and cornerbacks, two needs for the Seahawks.
- 20:36Speaker 2: We'll do that at nine o'clock today, and of course
- 20:38Speaker 2: we have stocking stuffers for you. We're going to slide
- 20:41Speaker 2: that in at eight thirty the college basketball portal. Well,
- 20:44Speaker 2: the UB Huskies lost another player. Kind of knew we
- 20:47Speaker 2: were going to lose him. Zoom Diallo is transferred to
- 20:51Speaker 2: Kentucky and so no more Zoom on the Huskies roster.
- 20:55Speaker 2: We are zoomless. NBA play in last night two more
- 21:00Speaker 2: entertaining games Philadelphia. They punched their ticket into the NBA
- 21:03Speaker 2: playoffs with a one oh nine ninety seven win over Orlando.
- 21:06Speaker 2: So now Polo and the Magic have to win on
- 21:09Speaker 2: Friday just to get into the playoffs. They will take
- 21:13Speaker 2: on the Charlotte Hornets, who have beaten a crap out
- 21:15Speaker 2: of them all season long. I did not realize that
- 21:18Speaker 2: they've beaten Orlando soundly all season long. So the Magic
- 21:22Speaker 2: have their work cut out for them to get into
- 21:24Speaker 2: the playoffs. And the Golden State Warriors who had the
- 21:27Speaker 2: worst record in the play in by far, end up
- 21:30Speaker 2: pulling it off with their veteran leadership, Draymond's defense, Steph
- 21:33Speaker 2: Curry's offense. They went over. The Clippers won twenty six
- 21:36Speaker 2: one twenty one, so the Clippers are out. The Warriors
- 21:40Speaker 2: will play Friday for the eighth and final playoff spot.
- 21:43Speaker 2: NHL regular season ends tonight, mercifully for the Kraken, who
- 21:48Speaker 2: lost to the Golden Knights last night four to one.
- 21:50Speaker 2: They'll take on the Colorado Avalanche in Colorado tonight at
- 21:54Speaker 2: seven o'clock. So there you go. Those are your headlines
- 21:58Speaker 2: coming up next. More on the Mariners a loss to
- 22:01Speaker 2: the Padres Mariners morning after on Chuck and Buck Sports
- 22:04Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 22:11Speaker 5: Wow, that call is absolutely tag way back at gone.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Luke Raley punishes a pitch two ron blast and it's
- 22:24Speaker 2: six nothing Mariners. Yeah, really fell like a win right there?
- 22:33Speaker 2: Really did Aaron Goldsmith on the call Mariner's television. Luke
- 22:38Speaker 2: Raley had a great night last night. That's another thing
- 22:40Speaker 2: about this is a ros arena and Raley are playing
- 22:44Speaker 2: so well right now, back to back and I know
- 22:46Speaker 2: we scored six runs and the problem was Munjos last
- 22:49Speaker 2: night and not the offense. But we're kind of in
- 22:53Speaker 2: a way wasting these those two and what they're doing,
- 22:57Speaker 2: like nobody's getting on in front of them, and nobody
- 23:00Speaker 2: he's driving them in behind them, like they're doing all
- 23:02Speaker 2: the damage on the entire team right now. Just a
- 23:05Speaker 2: little added frustration.
- 23:08Speaker 9: Well then, yeah, and then we don't get to talk
- 23:10Speaker 9: about how good they did either. That's I mean, he
- 23:13Speaker 9: was what Luke Raley was four for five.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Yesterday, great and crushed every pitch. It wasn't like some
- 23:18Speaker 2: squibber down the line, Gavin Sheets exactly.
- 23:20Speaker 9: I would have loved to have come in today and
- 23:21Speaker 9: been able to just talk about how awesome Rayley was
- 23:24Speaker 9: and is he back because last year, you know, he
- 23:27Speaker 9: struggled so much, so it's so nice to see him.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Doing so well and then back he's like Luke back,
- 23:32Speaker 2: and he's like Luke Rayley Walker. He went he went
- 23:36Speaker 2: and met with Yoda, I think in the off season
- 23:39Speaker 2: and came back.
- 23:40Speaker 6: A Jedi might know something.
- 23:42Speaker 2: That's the way he's playing right now. But the Mariners
- 23:45Speaker 2: not a good not a good night. They blew a lead,
- 23:48Speaker 2: six run lead last night, lost seven to six. That
- 23:51Speaker 2: is a bad loss for the Ms. They fall to
- 23:54Speaker 2: eight and eleven on the season. They will try now
- 23:57Speaker 2: to salvage a game in San Diego where we could
- 23:59Speaker 2: be talk talking about winning the series tonight. Five forty
- 24:03Speaker 2: first pitch. A couple of veterans who are struggling out
- 24:05Speaker 2: of the gate. Walker Bueller for them. He's probably on
- 24:08Speaker 2: the last threat of his career, and we hope Luis
- 24:11Speaker 2: Castillo is not moving in that direction. But he is
- 24:13Speaker 2: off to an even war start than Bueller. So we
- 24:16Speaker 2: really need the Rock step up tonight. He really needs
- 24:19Speaker 2: to step up tonight because Emerson Hancock is not going anywhere.
- 24:24Speaker 2: That is four outings and he's been scintillating so far
- 24:28Speaker 2: for the Mariners and he deserved to win last night.
- 24:30Speaker 2: So five forty first pitch from San Diego. We are
- 24:34Speaker 2: seven days from the NFL Draft. That's right, just seven sleeps,
- 24:38Speaker 2: one week away from the first picks coming off the board.
- 24:42Speaker 2: In a moment, we will check in with our mockumentarian
- 24:45Speaker 2: for the week, Josh Edwards from CBS Sports, will go
- 24:48Speaker 2: over his latest mock draft right here on Chuck and Buck.
- 24:52Speaker 2: But as for the rest of your frost brewed cors
- 24:55Speaker 2: Light Choose Chill headlines. The NBA play in a Round
- 24:58Speaker 2: featured another couple entertain games last night. I don't think
- 25:01Speaker 2: they need to be playing these games. I don't think
- 25:05Speaker 2: Orlando should be on the outside of the playoffs looking
- 25:08Speaker 2: in when they finished what nine games over five hundred
- 25:11Speaker 2: this past season, and yet the Magic will be playing
- 25:14Speaker 2: for their playoff lives On Friday. Paolo Ben Carol will
- 25:18Speaker 2: meet the Charlotte Hornets because Orlando lost last night to Philadelphia.
- 25:22Speaker 2: That means the Sixers punched their ticket to the playoffs
- 25:25Speaker 2: as the seventh seed. The eight seed will be determined
- 25:29Speaker 2: tomorrow night when Charlotte, who is beaten up on Orlando
- 25:32Speaker 2: all season long, takes on the Magic. The Golden State
- 25:35Speaker 2: Warriors kept their playoff hopes alive, even though they don't
- 25:38Speaker 2: deserve to be in the playoffs after the season that
- 25:41Speaker 2: they add. But they've got Steph Curry back healthy, They've
- 25:43Speaker 2: got Draymond Green playing great defense, and they won over
- 25:48Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Clippers last night one twenty six to
- 25:50Speaker 2: one twenty one, so they might slip their way into
- 25:53Speaker 2: the playoffs. The Clippers are out, the Warriors will play
- 25:56Speaker 2: Friday night for that eighth and final spot in the
- 26:00Speaker 2: Eastern Conference. The NHL regular season ends tonight for the Kraken.
- 26:04Speaker 2: That might be mercifully. They're not going to make the playoffs.
- 26:07Speaker 2: They're playing out the string. They lost last night to
- 26:10Speaker 2: Las Vegas four to one. They will participate in the
- 26:13Speaker 2: last night of the regular season. They'll be in Colorado
- 26:16Speaker 2: taking on the Avalanche. They'll drop the puck there at
- 26:19Speaker 2: seven o'clock. But the NHL regular season officially ends this evening.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And so those are your frost Brewed Corps Light Choose
- 26:28Speaker 2: Chill headlines here on this Thursday. At every Thursday during
- 26:32Speaker 2: the Draft Miss holiday, we've checked in with a different
- 26:36Speaker 2: national mock drafter, our mockumentarian for today, Josh Edwards.
- 26:42Speaker 1: It's Draft Miss, It's Draft mist chop.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Best song ever play us for Josh. He's gonna love this,
- 26:50Speaker 2: bro play the whole thing.
- 26:51Speaker 11: Yeah, draft best time, the speculation everywhere. Some teams are
- 26:58Speaker 11: traded off and break down. They hope to make the most.
- 27:02Speaker 11: The faversingle round. It's trapless time. It's trapless time, a
- 27:08Speaker 11: magical time of the.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Hey, Josh, you're gonna listen to the whole thing. It's
- 27:15Speaker 2: not much longer.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Let's not waste that pick this year.
- 27:18Speaker 2: I want you to spread this around to your CBS buddies.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Ryan Wilson would love this. You'd probably make love to
- 27:23Speaker 2: his wife to this song.
- 27:25Speaker 6: I don't want to think about Ryan Wilson in that way.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Yeah, wait till Blake Brockermeyer gets a hold of this song.
- 27:32Speaker 2: Talk about a toe tapper this time.
- 27:35Speaker 11: It's trapness time, a magical time of the.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Here we go, here's the finish, magical time.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Of the.
- 27:44Speaker 1: The pick is in.
- 27:47Speaker 2: How about that? Edwards? Huh? You guys doing anything that
- 27:50Speaker 2: creative over there at CBS Sports.
- 27:53Speaker 10: You know what, we don't have a full audio department
- 27:57Speaker 10: that puts together customary songs for us, unfortunately. But I
- 28:00Speaker 10: appreciate the magic of that song because you know, I
- 28:05Speaker 10: don't know about you all, but at this point the
- 28:06Speaker 10: speculation is getting to be a little bit too much
- 28:10Speaker 10: for me. I'm ready just to make the picks.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it. I'm with you. I mean, we're
- 28:15Speaker 2: seven sleeps away from actual picks being made. Are you
- 28:19Speaker 2: finding you? I mean, because a lot of people are
- 28:21Speaker 2: saying Josh as Josh Edwards from CBS Sports joins us
- 28:25Speaker 2: as Today's mockumentarian. A lot of people are saying that it's,
- 28:28Speaker 2: you know, it's a down draft and it's a boring draft.
- 28:32Speaker 2: I just I think we only have one quarterback that's
- 28:35Speaker 2: worth a top ten pick, and I think we haven't
- 28:38Speaker 2: had a big trade yet. I think it's going to
- 28:40Speaker 2: get really spicy next Thursday. And I actually I don't know.
- 28:45Speaker 2: My fever's very high pitched at this point, because now
- 28:49Speaker 2: that you're invested in all of these players, I really
- 28:51Speaker 2: have no idea how they're going to space themselves out
- 28:55Speaker 2: on the board. Where are you with your excitement level
- 28:58Speaker 2: seven days out from the NFL Draft.
- 29:02Speaker 10: Yeah, First of all, just addressing the narrative that, you know,
- 29:05Speaker 10: it is a bad draft class. You know, my company line,
- 29:09Speaker 10: so to speak, has been that if you go back
- 29:11Speaker 10: to last year, the narrative was that it was a
- 29:14Speaker 10: week draft class as well, and that ended up being
- 29:17Speaker 10: a very productive rookie class. So I am a little
- 29:20Speaker 10: bit slower to say that it's a bad class. It
- 29:23Speaker 10: certainly lacks the you know, all pro caliber players that
- 29:27Speaker 10: were accustomed to seeing they're available in the top ten overall,
- 29:30Speaker 10: but I think this is a great opportunity for teams
- 29:32Speaker 10: to add starters on Day two and possibly even into
- 29:35Speaker 10: Day three of this year's draft with the amount of
- 29:38Speaker 10: death that's available. But from a Sickos perspective, I'm probably
- 29:43Speaker 10: more excited about this draft than most years because, you know,
- 29:47Speaker 10: last year, we kind of had an idea of who
- 29:50Speaker 10: the first four picks were going to be. You know, ultimately,
- 29:54Speaker 10: we didn't know that Jacksonville was going to trade up
- 29:56Speaker 10: for Travis Hunter until you know, kind of the last minute,
- 29:59Speaker 10: so that added a little bit of intrigue, but we
- 30:01Speaker 10: knew he was probably going to be the number two
- 30:04Speaker 10: overall pick, even if it had been to the Browns.
- 30:06Speaker 10: Whereas this year, I mean there's conversation at number two
- 30:09Speaker 10: overall and every pick thereafter. You know, the fact that
- 30:14Speaker 10: we don't have those obvious blue chip players in this
- 30:18Speaker 10: draft class I think really opens up the board, so
- 30:22Speaker 10: to speak. I mean, you see multiple players mocked to
- 30:25Speaker 10: each team within the top ten overall, and the rest
- 30:28Speaker 10: of the draft cannot fall into place until those picks
- 30:31Speaker 10: are made. So for me, it lacks the premiere names,
- 30:35Speaker 10: but I think it's more exciting just because we don't
- 30:39Speaker 10: necessarily know how it's going to pan out.
- 30:41Speaker 2: You know what I'm with you, and if you're going
- 30:43Speaker 2: to be a sicko, we'll be sickos together. Sickos on
- 30:45Speaker 2: one Edward love it. Let's go hands in. Josh Edwards
- 30:49Speaker 2: is with us, mockumentarian. He's got his mock draft out.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Are you going to do another one before the draft?
- 30:56Speaker 2: You got another one coming?
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 30:58Speaker 10: Okay, this time of year, people love mocked drafts, so
- 31:01Speaker 10: you know we're we're basically putting them out on a
- 31:03Speaker 10: daily basis at CBS Sports. Right now, I have one
- 31:06Speaker 10: that goes up this morning. I don't know if it's
- 31:08Speaker 10: been published yet. Oh, then the final mocked draft will
- 31:11Speaker 10: be I guess a week from today.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm looking at the one that they're providing
- 31:15Speaker 2: at CBS Sports with your name on it. So I'm
- 31:19Speaker 2: just going to go off of what you've got here
- 31:21Speaker 2: in front of me, and then if anything has changed,
- 31:23Speaker 2: you you correct us. So I want to start with
- 31:26Speaker 2: the Seahawks because I'm selfish like that. I don't know
- 31:28Speaker 2: if you heard, we're world champs up here. They have
- 31:31Speaker 2: the last pick in the first round. That's what happens
- 31:33Speaker 2: to world champs, and so they you've got them in
- 31:37Speaker 2: your mock that I'm looking at going edge rusher TJ. Parker.
- 31:41Speaker 2: That's certainly in our opinion up here, in play an
- 31:44Speaker 2: edge rusher in the first round. But I also see
- 31:47Speaker 2: that you don't have Jadarian Price going before that, and
- 31:51Speaker 2: I would just ask, if Jedarian Price is there, should
- 31:57Speaker 2: the Seahawks not monkey around with this? Should they just
- 32:00Speaker 2: go Jadarian Price as the thirty second? Okay? Do we
- 32:05Speaker 2: not have him right now?
- 32:07Speaker 7: Oh?
- 32:07Speaker 2: We just lost him.
- 32:08Speaker 6: Yeah, we just lost him. Call him right back.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we lost Josh Edwards. I guess my
- 32:12Speaker 2: question was too long. Maybe he was like, man, I'm
- 32:15Speaker 2: really tired of this guy setting up this question with
- 32:18Speaker 2: all of this fake Christmas stuff. I've had enough. I
- 32:25Speaker 2: got things to do. I got a mock going up.
- 32:27Speaker 2: All right, Well we got him back you there, Josh.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I guess my opinions on the topic
- 32:35Speaker 3: weren't that desired.
- 32:36Speaker 10: You know, you have to kick me off the air
- 32:38Speaker 10: for picking TJ.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Parker, But here I was blaming it on you. So
- 32:44Speaker 2: so okay, what honestly, go ahead, man, honestly, yeah, So
- 32:48Speaker 2: at thirty two you have TJ. Parker. I'm wondering if
- 32:50Speaker 2: the Seahawk should just say, hey, we're Ken Walker, let's
- 32:53Speaker 2: let's get a running back. Let's take Jadarian Price. What
- 32:56Speaker 2: do you think about that dilemma?
- 32:59Speaker 3: Right?
- 32:59Speaker 10: So, I would think in an ideal situation, John Schneider
- 33:03Speaker 10: is probably wanting to trade back. I think that's his
- 33:07Speaker 10: ideal scenario in which he, you know, could still come
- 33:10Speaker 10: away with Jendarium Price. I just think their willingness to
- 33:14Speaker 10: kind of sit and watch the dominoes fall at the
- 33:16Speaker 10: running back position speaks to I think maybe a plan
- 33:21Speaker 10: in place, maybe a contentness in taking you know, Jendarium Price,
- 33:27Speaker 10: who is not consistently mocked in the first round. You know,
- 33:30Speaker 10: I think Seattle is really the only team that's been
- 33:32Speaker 10: linked to him there in the first round. But you know,
- 33:35Speaker 10: he's been projected to go in that range, so it's
- 33:38Speaker 10: not necessarily a reach. They're just a team that has
- 33:42Speaker 10: the most obvious fit. So I could see them taking
- 33:45Speaker 10: him at number thirty two overall. But really the objective,
- 33:47Speaker 10: and you know, speaking to your acknowledgment of being the
- 33:51Speaker 10: world champions, you've lost a few from I caught it. Yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 10: it was very subtle, but they lost a few pieces,
- 34:00Speaker 10: you know, in free agency, so I would imagine replenishing
- 34:03Speaker 10: some of those players lost, whether it's cornerback, ed rusher,
- 34:06Speaker 10: running back. Of course, as we're talking to, is the
- 34:08Speaker 10: objective here, and I think the ideal outcome would be
- 34:13Speaker 10: trading back a little bit, recouping some additional draft picks,
- 34:17Speaker 10: and still getting a player at one of those three positions,
- 34:19Speaker 10: and ideally Juderian Price, because I do think that he's
- 34:23Speaker 10: a player that can leverage defenders in space, He's got burst,
- 34:26Speaker 10: He's somebody that would be a good compliment to the
- 34:29Speaker 10: battering ram that is Zach Charbonay when he returns. So
- 34:32Speaker 10: I think that would be a good pairing. But ultimately,
- 34:35Speaker 10: John Schneider is going to let the board fall and
- 34:38Speaker 10: just you know, see what options are available to him.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that number two pick that you
- 34:42Speaker 2: hinted at earlier in the conversation. Do you feel are
- 34:46Speaker 2: you getting the sense that the Jets have decided between
- 34:50Speaker 2: Bailey and r bel Reso or maybe there's somebody else
- 34:53Speaker 2: in play there.
- 34:55Speaker 10: I think it's an interesting discussion, and this is kind
- 34:59Speaker 10: of a dynamic within the NFL draft that people maybe
- 35:02Speaker 10: don't always take into consideration, and that is where a
- 35:06Speaker 10: team falls on their own timeline. I think if you
- 35:10Speaker 10: talk to Aaron Glenn, maybe even the general manager Darren Mugie.
- 35:14Speaker 3: There's some urgency to at least.
- 35:16Speaker 10: Compete, be competitive in twenty twenty six, because I know
- 35:20Speaker 10: everybody is looking at twenty twenty seven and the possibility.
- 35:23Speaker 3: They would add a quarterback.
- 35:24Speaker 10: But this is a regime that very much has a
- 35:27Speaker 10: lot on the line in twenty twenty six. If they
- 35:30Speaker 10: don't compete, they're not going to be around in twenty
- 35:32Speaker 10: twenty seven to make those picks in all likelihoods. So
- 35:35Speaker 10: if you're sitting there deciding between rvel Reese, who I
- 35:38Speaker 10: think has a higher ceiling as a player, but is
- 35:40Speaker 10: more of a vision being that he's, you know, an
- 35:43Speaker 10: off ball linebacker. He played off ball linebacker at Ohio State,
- 35:46Speaker 10: but you're projecting him to be a pass rusher at
- 35:48Speaker 10: the next level. Versus David Bailey from Texas Tech, who's
- 35:52Speaker 10: this ready made player. He can step in from day
- 35:55Speaker 10: one and be an immediate impact player. You know, I,
- 36:00Speaker 10: if I felt like I had time, would take Reef
- 36:04Speaker 10: to see that out. But in their current state, I
- 36:07Speaker 10: do think that Bailey makes a lot of sense just
- 36:10Speaker 10: because he's somebody that we know can help them.
- 36:13Speaker 3: In twenty twenty six.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Josh Edwards is with us a great guest when you
- 36:17Speaker 2: can keep them on the phone from CBS Sports. He
- 36:20Speaker 2: is our mockumentarian today and so we're going over his
- 36:24Speaker 2: most recent mock draft, which might have changed as he's
- 36:28Speaker 2: getting ready to post a brand new one. So we'll
- 36:30Speaker 2: be here to find out maybe some of those nitty
- 36:32Speaker 2: gritty details. I love that you will incorporate a trade.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Where do you think the most logical place for a
- 36:39Speaker 2: trade is going to happen? When's the first trade going
- 36:41Speaker 2: to be made on the board.
- 36:44Speaker 10: Well, if you love trades, you're going to love the
- 36:45Speaker 10: mock draft that comes up on CBS Sports today. I
- 36:48Speaker 10: do have five wow in this Yeah, you know, it
- 36:52Speaker 10: gets to the point where you're just like, Okay, I
- 36:54Speaker 10: know this team wants this position, So if you're this
- 36:57Speaker 10: other team that wants that position, you have to get
- 36:59Speaker 10: in front of that team. So I tried to be
- 37:02Speaker 10: a little bit more creative with it this week. But
- 37:04Speaker 10: the first really domino that I could see in this
- 37:08Speaker 10: draft is number six overall with the Browns. And that's
- 37:12Speaker 10: not to say that teams before the Browns would not
- 37:14Speaker 10: want to trade back. I think there's a strong argument
- 37:17Speaker 10: for the Giants the Cardinals at number five and number
- 37:20Speaker 10: three respectively, to do so, but the Browns historically want
- 37:24Speaker 10: to trade back accumulate additional draft capital. And there are
- 37:28Speaker 10: two teams that I kind of look at as being
- 37:31Speaker 10: the most likely to move up, and that's the Cowboys
- 37:34Speaker 10: and the Rams. The Cowboys have gotten the most smoke,
- 37:37Speaker 10: I would say to this point about a team that
- 37:39Speaker 10: can move up the board likely targeting one of those
- 37:43Speaker 10: remaining defensive stars, whether that's Sunny Styles, the linebacker from
- 37:47Speaker 10: Ohio State, or Caleb Downs, the safety from Ohio State.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Maybe one of those pass.
- 37:52Speaker 10: Rushers is still available there, so that's the first that's
- 37:58Speaker 10: the first possibility I really as a team looking to
- 38:01Speaker 10: move up the board to get one of these players.
- 38:03Speaker 10: And I do think we're going to see maybe some
- 38:05Speaker 10: smaller scale trades in this year's draft class. Teams have
- 38:09Speaker 10: been more flexible, I think with the value they're willing
- 38:12Speaker 10: to accept in exchange for their pick.
- 38:14Speaker 3: As we've kind of seen.
- 38:15Speaker 10: These more modern trade value charts come of age here
- 38:20Speaker 10: in the past couple of years, I think we're going
- 38:21Speaker 10: to see, you know, multiple trades, just maybe not to
- 38:25Speaker 10: the same scale as we've seen in the past.
- 38:27Speaker 2: As someone that's obviously done a deep dive or ten
- 38:31Speaker 2: on all of this, on this very topic, the NFL
- 38:34Speaker 2: draft topic, give us, give our audience a juicy rumor
- 38:38Speaker 2: that you believe is going to happen, your juiciest one
- 38:42Speaker 2: that you've got right at your fingertips. Maybe you got
- 38:44Speaker 2: it from a colleague, maybe you got it from a source.
- 38:47Speaker 2: But share with us a juicy thread that you think
- 38:51Speaker 2: that will come true on Thursday.
- 38:55Speaker 10: Well, I would have said the Cowboys trading up, because
- 38:59Speaker 10: that's a thought that I've held pre dating the combine.
- 39:02Speaker 3: But I've already used that bullet in the chamber.
- 39:04Speaker 6: So let's give us a.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just have you a clip here.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Who got a player that's flying up the board that
- 39:14Speaker 2: you believe? I mean, I see you got Carneal Tit
- 39:16Speaker 2: at five. If you did this a week ago, you
- 39:18Speaker 2: were ahead of the rumors with Carnel Tait.
- 39:22Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Carnel Tate's you know, I think his floor
- 39:25Speaker 10: is going to be probably we'll say number nine overall.
- 39:28Speaker 10: To be conservative, I would say there's a handful of
- 39:30Speaker 10: players that you know could get into the first round.
- 39:33Speaker 10: I think this is a draft where you know, you
- 39:36Speaker 10: look at the top thirty two on the consensus board
- 39:39Speaker 10: and you say, all right, these are our first round picks.
- 39:41Speaker 3: But that's not going to be the case this year.
- 39:43Speaker 10: There's you know, upwards of ten additional players that we
- 39:46Speaker 10: could really see crack that first.
- 39:49Speaker 3: Round, and I'll just mention some of them.
- 39:51Speaker 10: UCF Edge rusher, Malchy Lawrence, San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson.
- 39:58Speaker 10: There's a couple of offensive guards. I prefer texas A
- 40:03Speaker 10: and M's Chase Desaltis just because of his pass blocking abilities.
- 40:08Speaker 10: But you may hear Georgia Tech's Keelan Rutledge and Oregon's
- 40:13Speaker 10: Emmanuel Pregnon as a couple of players that you know
- 40:16Speaker 10: could threaten into the first round as well.
- 40:18Speaker 3: So those would be I think a handful of the
- 40:20Speaker 3: players that at.
- 40:21Speaker 10: Least I have you know, eyes for as we get
- 40:25Speaker 10: in the later parts of the first round. And you know,
- 40:27Speaker 10: to be honest, John Schneider is one that often leaves
- 40:31Speaker 10: us swinging and missing at curveballs. So if he were
- 40:34Speaker 10: the one that makes a pick that we did not
- 40:37Speaker 10: see coming, that would not surprise me at all well, lately.
- 40:39Speaker 2: His repertoires are just a nasty slider, Like he's not
- 40:43Speaker 2: even messing around with curves anymore. He's he's increased his
- 40:47Speaker 2: arsenal as of late. Josh Edwards says, so with us,
- 40:50Speaker 2: all right, I asked this, of all of our mock
- 40:52Speaker 2: draft guests, who is your favorite player in this draft?
- 40:56Speaker 2: Not the best, but Josh Edwards, specially the guy that
- 41:02Speaker 2: you think might get underdrafted, and yet you believe he's
- 41:06Speaker 2: going to be special even if your colleagues don't feel
- 41:08Speaker 2: that way.
- 41:11Speaker 10: Yeah, let's see, who am I the biggest outlier on
- 41:14Speaker 10: There's a number of like Day two, Day three guys
- 41:18Speaker 10: that you know, we could, oh oh, we could, we
- 41:21Speaker 10: could really get into. And I actually just had a
- 41:24Speaker 10: story on this yesterday at CBS Sports about my guys
- 41:27Speaker 10: in this year's draft class. I'll say a couple of
- 41:31Speaker 10: defensive linemen. You know, I know that's not a sexy
- 41:34Speaker 10: or flashy position, but a couple of guys that I've
- 41:37Speaker 10: just liked throughout this process and we kind of have
- 41:40Speaker 10: similar profiles. Nick Barrett from South Carolina, Chris McClellan from Missouri.
- 41:46Speaker 10: Both of those guys I believe are outside of the
- 41:49Speaker 10: consensus top one hundred overall, but I look at both
- 41:52Speaker 10: of them and they have a skill set that is
- 41:55Speaker 10: really transferable to the NFL right now, which is we're
- 41:59Speaker 10: starting to see team be a little bit more big
- 42:02Speaker 10: personnel centric, start leaning more into heavy personnel because you know,
- 42:07Speaker 10: we saw all this spread action over the past decade
- 42:10Speaker 10: and teams started to get a little bit smaller. So
- 42:12Speaker 10: now we're swinging back in the other direction where we're
- 42:15Speaker 10: starting to embrace more heavy personnel.
- 42:18Speaker 3: Yet again, the blocking tight ends.
- 42:20Speaker 10: And so I'm going to say McClellan and Barrett because
- 42:25Speaker 10: both of those guys may not have like pass rusher juice,
- 42:28Speaker 10: but they are very stout in the run game. They're
- 42:33Speaker 10: going to immediately upgrade the floor and the ceiling of
- 42:37Speaker 10: any run defense, and I think that's incredibly val valuable
- 42:40Speaker 10: in today's NFL. I could see both of those, you know,
- 42:43Speaker 10: ten years down the road, still playing in the NFL
- 42:45Speaker 10: and being quality picks that were found on Day three,
- 42:50Speaker 10: I guess if you're looking at the consensus big board,
- 42:52Speaker 10: but it would not surprise me if we heard their
- 42:54Speaker 10: names on Day two either.
- 42:55Speaker 2: All right, well, mock three times on the ceiling if
- 42:58Speaker 2: you want him. He is the octologist over there at
- 43:01Speaker 2: CBS Sports and our mockumentarian one week shy of the
- 43:06Speaker 2: NFL Draft, Josh Edwards, CBS Sports. So we tend to
- 43:10Speaker 2: have him on every year. Love having him on, and
- 43:12Speaker 2: he's going to have a brand new mock out a
- 43:14Speaker 2: little bit later on today and we urge all of
- 43:16Speaker 2: our listeners to go gobble it up. So thank you man,
- 43:18Speaker 2: we appreciate it. Have a very merry draft, miss and
- 43:22Speaker 2: probably talk to you next year.
- 43:25Speaker 10: How many more times do you think you're going to
- 43:26Speaker 10: listen to that song between now and next Thursday?
- 43:28Speaker 2: One thousand, one thousand to one thousand five times? Yeah,
- 43:32Speaker 2: do you want it? Would you like us to send
- 43:34Speaker 2: over a copy so that you can play you know what?
- 43:37Speaker 3: Send an MP four over to me. I may listen
- 43:39Speaker 3: to that myself.
- 43:40Speaker 10: Okay, a pleasure.
- 43:42Speaker 3: Thank thank you for having me on.
- 43:43Speaker 2: All right there he is Josh Edwards. Good ear for
- 43:46Speaker 2: music too. That guy joining us right here on Chuck
- 43:49Speaker 2: and Buck in the Mornings is coming up next to
- 43:51Speaker 2: your ABC's of the ms. If we're not going to
- 43:54Speaker 2: talk about the headline, what on earth are we going
- 43:57Speaker 2: to talk about after that? Game last night find Out
- 44:00Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. But obviously we
- 44:03Speaker 2: had a baseball game last night that made us all furious.
- 44:06Speaker 6: Yeah, very angry.
- 44:07Speaker 2: We will talk about the issue of the game last
- 44:11Speaker 2: night Andres Munos in great detail coming up at eight o'clock.
- 44:14Speaker 2: But the ABC's of the MS, who knows where the
- 44:16Speaker 2: ab seeds of the MS might take us our daily
- 44:18Speaker 2: Mariners segment, which we allowed the alphabet to be our
- 44:22Speaker 2: guide through a few different topics, and we'll see where
- 44:25Speaker 2: we end up. We left off of the letter J
- 44:27Speaker 2: so Jay is for Jackson, as in Jackson Merrill, who
- 44:31Speaker 2: not only had the game winning hit last night for
- 44:34Speaker 2: the Padres, also robbed another home run from the Mariners team.
- 44:39Speaker 2: And this one I'm kind of with Angie. I thought
- 44:42Speaker 2: more athletically impressive than the Joe Adell three from a
- 44:46Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Man, they got way up over
- 44:50Speaker 2: the wall to take one away from Julio Rodriguez. And
- 44:53Speaker 2: I don't know why this is happening so frequently, but
- 44:56Speaker 2: it's happening also, Ashley to the guys, we're waiting to
- 45:00Speaker 2: break out, like officially, not for one game, Josh right, Well,
- 45:03Speaker 2: the guys that were waiting to break out. I mean, Raleigh, Naylor,
- 45:08Speaker 2: and Julio have all been robbed of home runs and
- 45:12Speaker 2: we are only what nineteen games into the season. I mean,
- 45:16Speaker 2: how this is something that happens maybe a couple of
- 45:19Speaker 2: times during the year. We've already had four home runs
- 45:22Speaker 2: taken away from us, and that was a no doubter
- 45:24Speaker 2: home run that Merrill took away.
- 45:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I was baffled by it. I thought, how is
- 45:28Speaker 6: this just? How I mean?
- 45:31Speaker 9: And I will say, Luke had a great catch for
- 45:34Speaker 9: us at the wall that I don't think was a
- 45:35Speaker 9: home run, just a great catch. So it does happen
- 45:38Speaker 9: on both ways. But it feels like it's happening more
- 45:41Speaker 9: to us than to other people.
- 45:42Speaker 2: It's happening not only is it happening more to the Mariner,
- 45:45Speaker 2: it is happening more to the twenty twenty six Mariners
- 45:47Speaker 2: than anyone ever.
- 45:48Speaker 6: Yeah, that's yes, that is how it feels. And I
- 45:52Speaker 6: don't like it.
- 45:53Speaker 9: And I don't I mean, I don't want to celebrate
- 45:55Speaker 9: the athleticism because I'm too irritated.
- 45:58Speaker 2: I mean, they blew a six nothingly they have no
- 46:00Speaker 2: it's really the problem they lost. They blew a six
- 46:02Speaker 2: nothing lead and was not sharp. But if you had
- 46:06Speaker 2: an eight nothing lead, yeah.
- 46:07Speaker 6: We would have won by one. No, no, maybe not well.
- 46:09Speaker 9: No.
- 46:09Speaker 2: I mean sometimes teams they went into the ninth inning
- 46:13Speaker 2: trailing by four. Nobody thinks they're out of the game.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Trailing by four with three outs to go. Nobody, You're
- 46:20Speaker 2: down eight at one point, and you might say to yourself,
- 46:24Speaker 2: you know what, let's take Machado out. You might do
- 46:27Speaker 2: stuff like that. Uh yeah, so you might use a
- 46:32Speaker 2: different pitcher that gets lit up at that point. So
- 46:35Speaker 2: sliding doors. With baseball, you never know what was going
- 46:38Speaker 2: to happen. It certainly didn't help the cause that Julio
- 46:41Speaker 2: had a home run taken away from him last night,
- 46:44Speaker 2: and man, it is happening way too frequently, but it
- 46:47Speaker 2: was a great catch. K is for killer. I need
- 46:52Speaker 2: to see the killer personality of Luis Castillo. We have
- 46:58Speaker 2: seen him. We've described it a lot, Bucky and myself,
- 47:02Speaker 2: kind of playing to the moment, playing to the atmosphere,
- 47:05Speaker 2: playing to the situation. We've watched Luis Castillo in a
- 47:09Speaker 2: playoff game just absolutely destroy the Toronto Blue Jays. They
- 47:13Speaker 2: had no hope against him. We have seen him in
- 47:16Speaker 2: big games, in big cathedrals and big moments. We saw
- 47:20Speaker 2: him in Yankee Stadium a couple of times where he
- 47:23Speaker 2: rises to the occasion. He feeds off the adrenaline of
- 47:26Speaker 2: that and has been just lights out. But we've also
- 47:29Speaker 2: seen him, I mean, he's the guy that collapsed against
- 47:32Speaker 2: the Kansas City Royals that year that we lost an
- 47:35Speaker 2: eleven run lead. We've also seen him be that guy
- 47:38Speaker 2: and not rise to the occasion. In last if the
- 47:42Speaker 2: stadium's not full, maybe he's not one hundred percent locked
- 47:45Speaker 2: in at that point. We've seen that guy. Look, we
- 47:48Speaker 2: are nineteen games into the season. This is not like
- 47:51Speaker 2: make or break time. We're not anywhere close to that
- 47:55Speaker 2: in the Mariners season. But for Luis Castillo personally, I
- 48:00Speaker 2: just watch Emerson Hancock throw his fourth great game in
- 48:04Speaker 2: a row, perfect through four, right, and we have not
- 48:07Speaker 2: seen the Rock be great once this year. We've seen
- 48:10Speaker 2: him be pretty good once. We've also seen him bad
- 48:13Speaker 2: two times. Yeah, I need the killer version of Luis Castile.
- 48:18Speaker 2: I want this to be a difficult decision. I want
- 48:22Speaker 2: and I don't want this to come to having to
- 48:25Speaker 2: tap such an accomplished, beloved, respected player in that locker
- 48:30Speaker 2: room having to tap him on the shoulder in May
- 48:33Speaker 2: and saying we got to move you to the bullpen
- 48:35Speaker 2: because you're just our worst starter right now. So I
- 48:38Speaker 2: need killer Castillo tonight. Yeah.
- 48:40Speaker 9: Well, and we need him too, just for the fact
- 48:43Speaker 9: that you can't get swept by the Padres. You can't
- 48:45Speaker 9: lose tonight after that loss yesterday because you don't want
- 48:47Speaker 9: to start another skit. And last night's loss was probably
- 48:50Speaker 9: really I mean, we were all mad, they were real mad,
- 48:53Speaker 9: So you can't.
- 48:54Speaker 6: You got to come back.
- 48:55Speaker 9: The whole team has to have that killer mentality. Be
- 48:57Speaker 9: behind Luise, get him fired up and let's see.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to I need the good version of you. Yeah,
- 49:03Speaker 2: I mean I need the best version of the I mean,
- 49:05Speaker 2: we're not to the point where we're must wins and
- 49:07Speaker 2: we got to salvage a game, and we're not anywhere
- 49:10Speaker 2: close to that point. But in terms of this competition,
- 49:14Speaker 2: for this five man rotation, as I said yesterday and
- 49:16Speaker 2: reckless at breakfast, I don't want to go to six games.
- 49:19Speaker 2: I really don't want to send Emerson Hancock down to Tacoma.
- 49:22Speaker 2: I don't want any I don't want him going to
- 49:24Speaker 2: the bullpen. The way he's pitching right now. Yeah, I mean,
- 49:28Speaker 2: and I don't want I mean, somebody's gonna get bad news.
- 49:31Speaker 2: But and I don't want to delay Bryce Miller's return
- 49:35Speaker 2: because I think he's gonna have a great year this year.
- 49:37Speaker 2: But Luis Castill, what we what we need to see
- 49:40Speaker 2: out of you is you can't be dramatically worse than
- 49:46Speaker 2: the other five guys and hold on to your starting
- 49:49Speaker 2: spot in a rotation where we're trying to win a
- 49:51Speaker 2: World Series this year.
- 49:52Speaker 6: As you said, don't make it easy for them to
- 49:54Speaker 6: make that choice.
- 49:55Speaker 2: U l is for Luke, and we touched upon this
- 49:59Speaker 2: at the top of the didn't touch upoun on it
- 50:01Speaker 2: at all in the first hour. And it's a shame
- 50:03Speaker 2: because you end up losing the game and the headline changes.
- 50:06Speaker 2: The headline of this game should have been Luke Rayley's
- 50:08Speaker 2: on fire, and he and Randy Rose arena right now,
- 50:11Speaker 2: are locked in right now and back to back in
- 50:15Speaker 2: the lineup the way that they are. I mean, yes,
- 50:17Speaker 2: the offense did enough last night to score six runs.
- 50:20Speaker 2: We should have win that game, but we're we're kind
- 50:25Speaker 2: of right now not taking full advantage of those two
- 50:29Speaker 2: hitting back to back in the order being as hot
- 50:32Speaker 2: as they are right now, and there are no Fluke
- 50:35Speaker 2: Kits Gavin Sheets coming off the bat of Luke Raley.
- 50:37Speaker 2: He's crushing everything and then when he doesn't crush it,
- 50:40Speaker 2: he lays down a really smart, awesome butt down the
- 50:42Speaker 2: third baseline.
- 50:44Speaker 6: So mustles.
- 50:45Speaker 2: We've got two guys absolutely on fire, and we don't
- 50:50Speaker 2: have anybody consistently driving them in Canzone had a nice
- 50:53Speaker 2: hit last night, and we don't have our big three
- 50:56Speaker 2: getting on base for them either, And it feels like
- 50:59Speaker 2: we're wasting an eye opportunity for Luke Rayley and Randy
- 51:01Speaker 2: a Rose Arena to kind of be. We should be
- 51:04Speaker 2: posting wins right now, as ridiculously hot as those two.
- 51:07Speaker 9: Guys' celebrating how awesome they are playing, versus having to
- 51:10Speaker 9: talk about the ugliness of a terrible loss.
- 51:12Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know if it continues for Luke.
- 51:15Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, every major league hitter, every
- 51:18Speaker 2: hitter at every level, has hot streaks, has cold streaks.
- 51:22Speaker 2: Some are hotter than others, some are colder than others,
- 51:25Speaker 2: some are longer than others or shorter than others. Right now,
- 51:28Speaker 2: he's never been locked in like this. I mean, I
- 51:31Speaker 2: think you'd said earlier he's back. No, no, no, no,
- 51:34Speaker 2: this thing I've never seen before.
- 51:36Speaker 9: Well, yeah, he's when because he had a good year
- 51:39Speaker 9: then of course the injuries. So now he's back like
- 51:41Speaker 9: he would have been had he gotten better last year
- 51:43Speaker 9: and then better now.
- 51:44Speaker 2: Well, I've never seen this version of Luke Rayley before,
- 51:47Speaker 2: and I and it's not going to last. I mean,
- 51:50Speaker 2: it just isn't. I mean, I mean, he might be
- 51:53Speaker 2: back to the player he was two years ago, maybe
- 51:56Speaker 2: even a little better this year than he was two
- 51:59Speaker 2: years ago, and that's a that's a great thing. But
- 52:01Speaker 2: he's We're not going to ever see him be this hot.
- 52:04Speaker 2: I mean, he is squaring everything up, he's hitting to
- 52:06Speaker 2: all fields, he's hitting for power, he's playing smart baseball.
- 52:10Speaker 2: And we didn't get a win out of the last
- 52:13Speaker 2: two nights, even though Luke Rayley is playing awesome.
- 52:16Speaker 9: Yeah, and I would like us to start taking advantage
- 52:18Speaker 9: of how awesome he's playing.
- 52:19Speaker 2: All Right, we will talk more about the Andre's Munnos
- 52:24Speaker 2: meltdown coming up at eight o'clock this morning, coming up
- 52:28Speaker 2: next we are just one week away the Draftmas holiday
- 52:31Speaker 2: has been so special this year. I've seen so many friends,
- 52:34Speaker 2: so many family members, so many loved ones. I've eaten
- 52:37Speaker 2: so much draftnog. I think I've put on like fourteen pounds.
- 52:41Speaker 6: It's the season, though.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a bunch of parties to attend. If
- 52:45Speaker 2: I can't make them all, sorry in advance, but that's
- 52:48Speaker 2: draft miss. Sometimes you got three parties scheduled at ones.
- 52:51Speaker 2: What are you gonna do about it?
- 52:52Speaker 6: Got to attend them all?
- 52:53Speaker 2: Yeah, well you try. But you know I'm only one
- 52:56Speaker 2: father Draftmas, so we'll really start ramping it up next.
- 53:01Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 53:04Speaker 6: Oh have you good for you?
- 53:06Speaker 2: So you know that I'm following my own advice and all.
- 53:09Speaker 2: I don't have my smoker's jacket on right now because
- 53:10Speaker 2: we're not on the YouTube thing.
- 53:12Speaker 6: But I do like that you have your pipe. People
- 53:15Speaker 6: can hear the pipe.
- 53:16Speaker 2: I like the pipe. I think it's a good prop
- 53:18Speaker 2: for the bit. It's time for stocking stuffers. If you're
- 53:22Speaker 2: doing draft rumors, they've been that's how you count sheep
- 53:25Speaker 2: at night, so that you can sleep more and handle
- 53:28Speaker 2: these seven sleepless nights here better leading up the draft
- 53:32Speaker 2: day than so be it. Let's get to your rumors
- 53:35Speaker 2: today and they are picking up. They are absolutely picking up.
- 53:38Speaker 2: I mean, I got more than I have time to
- 53:40Speaker 2: go through. Let's start with the number two pick, and
- 53:44Speaker 2: according to reports today I think this was CBS. I
- 53:48Speaker 2: meant to write that down. The Jets really are down
- 53:50Speaker 2: to Rvel Reese or David Bailey at that number two spot.
- 53:55Speaker 2: Either they still haven't decided or they haven't tipped their hand,
- 53:59Speaker 2: but it looks like they are going to take a
- 54:01Speaker 2: defensive player at number two. So I like this. Again,
- 54:04Speaker 2: we talked about this a little bit in the last hour.
- 54:06Speaker 2: I kind of like all this mystery. I like that
- 54:08Speaker 2: we don't know anything beyond Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders
- 54:13Speaker 2: at number one, and maybe we do have an idea
- 54:16Speaker 2: what the Jets are going to do at number two,
- 54:18Speaker 2: But I don't think anybody has any real indication as
- 54:21Speaker 2: to which of the two they prefer, because I keep
- 54:24Speaker 2: seeing mock drafts that are pretty much alternating the two.
- 54:27Speaker 9: Well, and that's helpful for our mock draft when we
- 54:29Speaker 9: mock draft the draft, because the less things that are known,
- 54:32Speaker 9: the less things that we have to take off the table.
- 54:35Speaker 6: Yeah, which is really nice.
- 54:36Speaker 2: We've had a lot of faulty winners of our Green
- 54:39Speaker 2: Jacket Draft draft. Yeah, and so maybe this year it'll
- 54:43Speaker 2: be more reputable. The number three pick seems to be
- 54:46Speaker 2: where you know, number two. That's great. There's a little
- 54:49Speaker 2: bit of mystery there. Maybe there's a coin toss decision.
- 54:53Speaker 2: Number three is where people are everywhere just circling like
- 54:56Speaker 2: this is where it's going to start getting crazy. And
- 54:58Speaker 2: a lot of people believe it is going to start
- 55:00Speaker 2: getting It's going to be crazy next Thursday in terms
- 55:03Speaker 2: of all the wheeling dealing that's going to take place.
- 55:06Speaker 2: But I just keep hearing more and more reports that
- 55:09Speaker 2: Arizona is going to trade out of that number three spot.
- 55:11Speaker 2: They're clearly more than one player away. They are in
- 55:14Speaker 2: a rebuild at this point. The Kyler Murray post Little
- 55:18Speaker 2: sweet era has begun there in the desert, and so
- 55:22Speaker 2: they may want to move down. And so is the
- 55:26Speaker 2: move up to three. This is the latest rumor is
- 55:29Speaker 2: they'll move up to three. About the other edge rusher
- 55:33Speaker 2: that the Jets don't take. I don't think that's what
- 55:36Speaker 2: it sounds like. I'm gonna lean on the stocking stuff
- 55:39Speaker 2: or that I made myself. It was handmade, homemade. I
- 55:43Speaker 2: made it out of scraps I found in the den.
- 55:45Speaker 6: You are so talented, and.
- 55:47Speaker 2: That is that Jeremiah Love's gonna end up being the
- 55:49Speaker 2: number three pick in this draft because the two teams
- 55:52Speaker 2: that are talking about getting up there are New Orleans
- 55:54Speaker 2: and Washington right now in the last twenty four hour
- 55:57Speaker 2: news cycle. New Orleans hasn't really been a big draft
- 56:01Speaker 2: player lately because they've been so cap strapped and they've
- 56:04Speaker 2: been so draft pick strapped here in the last few years.
- 56:08Speaker 2: They might be looking to make a splash. Feels like
- 56:11Speaker 2: the Alvin Kamara era is over and they just might
- 56:14Speaker 2: go up and get him. And I think Jaden Daniels,
- 56:17Speaker 2: I think the best thing for Jade and Daniels' career.
- 56:20Speaker 2: That first year, it looked like they were gonna make
- 56:22Speaker 2: him a throw at fifty times per game kind of quarterback.
- 56:25Speaker 2: I don't think he can take that kind of abuse.
- 56:27Speaker 6: Doesn't seem like it.
- 56:28Speaker 2: If Washington could introduce and by the way, I love
- 56:31Speaker 2: the new unis, if Washington can introduce a run first
- 56:36Speaker 2: system and have Daniels playoff of that both as a
- 56:39Speaker 2: runner and as a thrower, I think that's best case scenario.
- 56:43Speaker 2: If I'm Washington. I am really interested in adding the
- 56:47Speaker 2: next Adrian Peterson to my team with Jaden Daniels and
- 56:51Speaker 2: now defenses don't know what the hell's coming at though.
- 56:53Speaker 6: Yeah, just left and right punch is thrown.
- 56:58Speaker 2: Our next stocking stuff? What else we got over here
- 57:01Speaker 2: in the dig gone in there? Yeah? See, I'm gonna
- 57:03Speaker 2: get to the bottom down here and never works far enough.
- 57:05Speaker 9: That that's where the usually the best thing is. That's
- 57:08Speaker 9: where Santa puts it at least.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Yeah, this looks like it got dropped. What interesting AJ Brown?
- 57:17Speaker 2: We're not getting too far away from AJ Brown trade rumors.
- 57:21Speaker 2: There is something to know and I'm sure a lot
- 57:23Speaker 2: of you already do know this, that there is this
- 57:26Speaker 2: June first deadline. So it hurts the Eagles twenty twenty
- 57:29Speaker 2: six salary cap to deal Brown before June first. But
- 57:34Speaker 2: obviously if you're going to if you are going to
- 57:38Speaker 2: trade away AJ Brown, you probably do want draft picks,
- 57:42Speaker 2: like right now, do you really if you're the Philadelphia
- 57:44Speaker 2: Eagles and you feel you're in a championship window, want
- 57:47Speaker 2: to kick the can down the road? You're gonna give
- 57:49Speaker 2: up a wide receiver one and then not have immediate
- 57:53Speaker 2: compensation there for you. So you can either wait for
- 57:56Speaker 2: the June first deadline and help your cap out, or
- 57:59Speaker 2: you can trade him before the draft and then you
- 58:03Speaker 2: can get rid of his salary and then add the
- 58:09Speaker 2: draft pieces to help make up for having lost him.
- 58:14Speaker 2: Long way of saying, this, dude's getting traded, and it
- 58:17Speaker 2: may be after June first. Maybe it won't happen at
- 58:20Speaker 2: the draft. But AJ Brown, there's no way the Philadelphia
- 58:24Speaker 2: Eagles can do this again, No.
- 58:26Speaker 6: I wouldn't think so.
- 58:26Speaker 9: I mean that you can't have the drama that tears
- 58:28Speaker 9: your part and then you're not doing the things you're
- 58:30Speaker 9: supposed to do on the field.
- 58:31Speaker 2: Win has a wide receiver quarterback rift ever corrected itself.
- 58:38Speaker 6: And it seems like both at least it seems like
- 58:40Speaker 6: AJ Brown is dug in on this one.
- 58:42Speaker 2: Maybe I haven't given enough thought. Maybe there's a long
- 58:45Speaker 2: list of quarterbacks and wide receivers who for two years
- 58:50Speaker 2: have not gotten along, who for two years have been
- 58:53Speaker 2: clubhouse lawyering and trying to get teammates on their side.
- 58:57Speaker 2: Two years this has been going on. You're not moving away,
- 59:01Speaker 2: that's clear from your Super Bowl winning quarterback, and so
- 59:06Speaker 2: there's no way for a third year. You're going to
- 59:09Speaker 2: bring both of these guys back, and AJ Brown's the
- 59:12Speaker 2: logical guy to leave. You've already drafted Davante Smith high
- 59:16Speaker 2: and probably not to be a wide receiver two when
- 59:19Speaker 2: you drafted him, and then all of a sudden, you
- 59:21Speaker 2: have AJ Brown and you have the luxury of having
- 59:23Speaker 2: him there. You are paying him big money. It's time
- 59:27Speaker 2: to let Devonte Smith prove if he can be a
- 59:29Speaker 2: wide receiver one and then get another draft pick, use
- 59:33Speaker 2: your first rounder on a wide receiver. It's a good
- 59:35Speaker 2: wide receiver class that replaces AJ Brown. Team goes back
- 59:39Speaker 2: to being Jalen Hurts for better or worse, and if
- 59:42Speaker 2: he ends up with a rift with another of his receivers,
- 59:45Speaker 2: then you know you've got You definitely have a Jalen
- 59:48Speaker 2: Hurts problem. I mean, it feels to me like you
- 59:50Speaker 2: have more of a Jalen Hurts problem than an AJ Brown.
- 59:53Speaker 6: That's what it seems like.
- 59:54Speaker 2: That's what the rumblings seem to be. But we haven't
- 59:57Speaker 2: heard any Jalen Hurts trade rumors. So you know you're
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: moving on from AJ Brown. The only reason you're saying
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: you're not is because you're trying to protect his trade value.
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: But I don't think there's any chance the Eagles can
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: come back with AJ Brown.
- 1:00:10Speaker 9: I would think not, And especially AJ Brown's been the
- 1:00:13Speaker 9: one that's been more vocal about it, right, Jalen Hurts
- 1:00:15Speaker 9: isn't out there saying he's got problems with anybody or
- 1:00:18Speaker 9: reading books on the sideline.
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: He's keeping it more in house.
- 1:00:21Speaker 9: So at that point, yeah, you have to you have
- 1:00:23Speaker 9: to get rid of the one that's being more vocal about.
- 1:00:25Speaker 6: It and kind of putting the team in a bad light.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Well, you probably got to get rid of the one
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: that's not a quarterback. Well on that too, Yeah, that's
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: probably what you have to do. It's not like AJ
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Brown's been a prince about the whole thing. Maybe maybe
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: he's got a point, Maybe he's got some great point. Absolutely,
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: you know, maybe he wins a debate in front of
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: a national television audience versus Jalen Hurts, but it's not
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: like he's handled it well. No. So to me, this
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: is an obvious conclusion, and I think we'll get there eventually,
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: whether that happens pre draft or after June one that
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: I don't know. Aaron Rodgers, there's still Pittsburgh again for
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: whether or not he wants to play. I don't think
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: that that affects your draft strategy. To me, I don't
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: think you're saying I need an answer right now because
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: we might draft Ty Simpson. That doesn't sound like the
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: situation here. Sounds to me like the situation is the
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers really do like last year's what fifth rounder,
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: Will Howard, the former Buckeye National champion. They really do
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: like him. They just don't know if he's ready. And
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: the Steelers don't ever rebuild. They want to try to
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: win as many games as they can every single year. Yeah,
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: at least nine, at least eight, No more than nine. Yeah,
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: but it looks like they do have their solution of
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: who they want for the future. My guess is they
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: like Will Howard better than anybody that they could get
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: in the draft. To me, I don't think your draft's
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: affected by Aaron Rodgers' decision at all. For those that
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: are trying to put that kind of pressure on the organization,
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: they have Mason Rudolph there who they also like. I
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: don't know why.
- 1:02:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what, but they clearly like him. Yeah,
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: because he's still there.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: And he's a veteran. I mean to me, this is
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: if Aaron Rodgers doesn't play, do we kick the tires
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: on a Garoppolo or do we kick the tires on
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: a Derek Carr? To me, this is about kicking the
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: tires on another veteran.
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: Yeah, I would think so who.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: Might be an upgrade over Rudolph until Will Howard is
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: ready more so than it is. We need an answer Rogers,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: because it's gonna do because I don't think bringing back
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, if you like Ty Simpson, should get in
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: the way of you taking Ty Simpson at twenty one.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: So to me, it's an awful lot to do about nothing.
- 1:02:39Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems like it. But it also is annoying
- 1:02:42Speaker 6: that Rogers isn't making them wait.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Again, Well, that's just annoying in general.
- 1:02:46Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just annoyed. Yeah, just for that just bothers me.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: And finally, I mean for those Seahawk fans out there
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: that might be holding out hope that Devin h Chan
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: trade is gonna happen before the draft. Dolphins again yesterday,
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: this isn't even a rumor. They came out publicly. He's
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: not available. I don't know why if you're rebuilding that
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: you're rebuilding around one hundred and ninety pounds tailback that
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: you like to run between the tackles. I don't know why,
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: but that's the Dolphins. They're dumb. But apparently he's not available.
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: I'd love for him to be on the Seahawks as well.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: I think he could do some magical things in this
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: offense with this roster. But the Dolphins are being awfully
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: stingy when it comes to him, and they've been awfully
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: vocal about like, no, no, he is not available. There
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: is no smoke here. It is all clear here in Miami.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like he is going to be available, all right?
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: Coming up next? Four nine four five one is the
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: text line. We've been doing this every week. Ashley and
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: I have already had conversations about expanding this to something more.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: But it's time for SUP. Your opportunity to ask Ashley
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: or I a question at four nine four five one.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: Start your question with SUP. Otherwise there's no no other rule.
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: I think we like it when you direct it at
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: one of us, specifically, so Sup Ashley, and then go
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: wherever you want personal, professional, whatever you want to do.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: I'm not you know, We're gonna try our best to
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: answer all of your questions honestly and with integrity.
- 1:04:17Speaker 6: That's right.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Yeah, this isn't the Rassini Show. Sports Radio ninety three
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: point three kJ RFM.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: It's Draft miss time. It's traf miss time.
- 1:04:27Speaker 11: Smell of pig skin in the air, It's trapless time. Yeah,
- 1:04:33Speaker 11: draft best time. There's speculation everywhere. Some teams are training
- 1:04:39Speaker 11: ut it's.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Summer straight down.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: They hope to make the most.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Just the single crown. It's trap miss time. It's trapless time,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: a magical time of the.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: Hey, uh yes, it is uh Draftmas time. Been draft
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: meus all month long. Here on Chucking Buck in the Morning,
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M. No,
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson turns out maybe he doesn't like Draftmas after all.
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: Maybe wouldn't kidding all of that time. Ashley Ryan's here.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: My name is Chuck Powell. We do have Riley pay
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later on the Voice of
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: the Tacoma Rainiers. We'll talk about cold Emerson and also
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: our evening that we have planned with Riley tomorrow, and
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: we'll close out the show with one last thing. But
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: we are seven sleeps away from the National Football League Draft,
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: and so this is really when draft miss kicks into
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: high gear.
- 1:05:28Speaker 9: Yeah, we did get one of the texts on the
- 1:05:30Speaker 9: sub text line. By the way, uh, what do you
- 1:05:33Speaker 9: top your Draftmas tree with? What ornament do you top
- 1:05:35Speaker 9: your Draftmas tree with?
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: Lately it's been a Mike McDonald star like his face.
- 1:05:42Speaker 6: Just beams of light.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: Beams of light that naturally come out of it.
- 1:05:45Speaker 6: I like that.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Yeah, baby o seahawk helmet. If you can find one
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: that's not too heavy.
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: That's what's on mine. Just a mini helmet.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Yeah, not a bad idea.
- 1:05:53Speaker 9: Yeah, I should bring one in for that trick. Yeah yeah,
- 1:05:56Speaker 9: when we're back on YouTube tomorrow.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. A meat ball Oh heah, you can.
- 1:06:01Speaker 6: Do that, do a meatball and spaghetti trade.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: But yes, we are seven sleeps away from the actual
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: NFL Draft. I get it. With most holidays, the closer
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: you get, the more boored you become.
- 1:06:14Speaker 6: That's not the case here, though, No.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: I think the NFL Draft really kicks it into a
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: new gear the closer that you get, so you really
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: ramp up your enthusiasm asposed to all those.
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: Other holidays, I would agree.
- 1:06:25Speaker 9: I mean, I woke up this today and I thought,
- 1:06:28Speaker 9: oh my god, we are just a week away from
- 1:06:31Speaker 9: the NFL Draft.
- 1:06:32Speaker 6: And it wasn't because and then this will all be over.
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: Thank goodness, it was. We're just a week away from
- 1:06:37Speaker 6: the draft.
- 1:06:38Speaker 9: I'm getting so much more excited, right exactly.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: I mean those people that by the time a week
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: before Fourth of July me and you are just like,
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: I think I have already had.
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: All of them.
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: Yeah, you're like, oh god, Fourth of July hasn't happened yet.
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: I actually don't like the people that celebrate Fourth of
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: July before Fourth of Yeah, when you celebrated on June
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: twenty sixth, you're the problem. Yeah, I don't like you
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: at all. Stopped doing that. I don't like you doing
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: it on July fifth either or sixth.
- 1:07:04Speaker 6: Yeah, one day, it's the fourth.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Yeah, just the fourth.
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: Get aware of me.
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: Gosh, Bubby, just I'm talking to you. Stop doing it.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: It's only on the fourth ever.
- 1:07:18Speaker 6: Stop trying to celebrate it early or late?
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: All right, Well, part of our brand new season of
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: Draft miscoverage. We always try to throw a couple new
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: wrinkles in every year, a couple of staples, and then
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: a couple of new wrinkles, and one of our new
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: wrinkles this year has been Santa's back Sack. It is
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: a segment that leans on our experts who have weighed
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: in on really the two positions most talked about most
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: directed to the Seahawks, and that's running back with Ken
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Walker being gone, and also defensive backs with Kobe Bryant
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: and riqu Woolan having left via free agency. And so
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: we've spent a lot of time talking about running backs, cornerbacks,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: also edge rush, but edge rushers can't go in a backsack.
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: There's no room there. Yeah too wide.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: Yeah, cornerbacks can go in there. Running backs and I'll
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: even put safeties because they can be called defensive backs.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: And so that's what the backsack is all about. And
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: so let's get started, and I'll be honest, we've talked
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: more running backs than cornerbacks. But today we're going to
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: start with a cornerback because I asked our own Greg
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: Bell yesterday if he's hearing any names at that cornerback
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: position that could end up being the thirty second pick overall,
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: or maybe the thirty fifth, thirty sixth if John Schneider
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: decides to trade down and Greg Bell's really bringing it
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: this draft of the season. He is really into the
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: season this year because he had a name he was
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: ready to fire.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: I look at.
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: Corner and the more I read about learn about watch
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: Brandon cc, the cornerback from South Carolina, the more he
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: seems like a Mike McDonald guy. And not just because
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: he went to South Carolina where Nicki mc worry just
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: came out of and started. So year doesn't hurt, but no,
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: it doesn't hurt. And he's they're familiar with the system.
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: But Ceci is a multiplicity guy. People think he can
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: play in the slot. They think he is an NFL
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: tackler at the point of attack against the run and
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: run support outside and of course he put outside corner
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: itself of Carolina, and they talk a lot around the
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: South Carolina program about his makeup, his work ethic, his intangibles,
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: his ability to anticipate in no football well enough to
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: anticipate plays. His position. Coach at South Carolina, Brandon CEC
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: said that he knows and can talk about every position
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: all eleven on the defense. Does that not sound like
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: a Mike mcmill guy. Yep, that really does. I think
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: they could go corner with Brandon Ceci who may be
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: available late in the first top of the second and
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: then still go get your running back if they don't
- 1:09:54Speaker 4: pick for needs and they said they. John Schneider has
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: mentioned multiple times that he's gotten in trouble when he's
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: p for me, But what need meets the best player
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: on the board at the time. Yeah, like last year
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: with Gray's Abel, then it works out perfectly.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: Since that of Greg Bell telling you maybe a little
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: sneak peek, who knows Brandon se Say out of South
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: Carolina projected high second round pick, but I've seen him
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: mocked in first rounds, There's no question about that. We've
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: yet to go over the cornerback position in our draft
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: miss Catalog tomorrow, and we haven't yet talked about the
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: cornerbacks with Hugh Millen, and so we haven't really gotten
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: to Brandon se Say. And I'm glad that Greg brought
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: his name up. I mean, explosive athleticism, you know, forty
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: one inch vertical leap kind of shows you he's probably
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: got one of those four to three forties. I mean,
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: this is this is definitely an athlete who at South
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: Carolina where they kind of that's a bit of a
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: defensive back factory right there, and you already got a
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: plumb choice out of there a year ago. So, like
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: I said, it doesn't hurt that he's from South Carolina.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: I kind of trust that program and its ability to
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: develop some defensive backs. So interesting name, and yeah, it's
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: it's gone near the top of my watch list for
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: the Seahawks at this position.
- 1:11:13Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's not just he say, se say that's facts.
- 1:11:17Speaker 9: That's right, thank you, Sorry, I really need to do
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: use that.
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: All right. But we've also talked a lot about the
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: running backs, and it's Santa's Backsack.
- 1:11:28Speaker 6: For goodness sake, there's all sorts of backs in there, oh.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: All sorts of backs, and so the two names we
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: keep bringing up. Even in Santa's Backsack, it's filled with
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: opinions about a couple of different guys. I mean, I mean,
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: is it just me or is it all about Jadarian
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: Price and Mike Washington Junior. It just feels like ninety
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: eight percent of the conversation about the Seahawks in the draft,
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: that's two guys.
- 1:11:54Speaker 6: Yeah, we've heard a lot about them.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: And if you don't, if you're not aggressive with your
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: thirty second pick, you might not get Jadarian Price, he
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: might be off of the board, and then is trading
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: down to thirty six too early to take Mike Washington Junior?
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: To me?
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: No, to me, that's what being a general manager is
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: all about. If you like the guy, don't worry about.
- 1:12:15Speaker 6: What what other people have him ranked down, right.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: You go off of your board. Most people say that
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Mike Washington at best as mid second round if he
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: and I don't think there's any chance he's gonna last
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: to the end of the second round. So if Price
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: goes earlier than you're anticipating, he goes earlier than thirty two,
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: earlier than you're even able to get him. And Washington
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: doesn't go as late as you need him to go
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: in the second round. I mean, we're not talking about
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: a lot of other running backs right now, and that's
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: it other than the and I think the only reason
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: we're talking about him is because.
- 1:12:51Speaker 6: He's local y, because we know him.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: So I mean, we're all have to explore that, because yes,
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: we will do. We haven't got to the running back
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: pages in the draft miss catalog either Wednesday.
- 1:13:02Speaker 6: I can't wait.
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: So let's talk about the guys that we continue to
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: discuss because you bring on your experts and then your
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: experts tell you, yeah, these are the guys I like too.
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Rob rang likes judaium Price
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: more than anybody I've heard so far in this process,
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: and yet he cleared up for us on Tuesday. I
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: like one other guy more.
- 1:13:26Speaker 7: I think that, you know, having evaluated John Scheider in
- 1:13:29Speaker 7: the way he attacks drafts now for twenty years, basically,
- 1:13:33Speaker 7: I think that Mike Washington Junior is going to be
- 1:13:36Speaker 7: somebody that that Schneider is going.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: To be absolutely smitten with.
- 1:13:39Speaker 7: And I recognize the fumble issues, and he had seven
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: fumbles that he or seven times he put the ball
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: on the ground, only lost a couple of them, but
- 1:13:48Speaker 7: still seven fumbles over the last couple of seasons and
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: bounced around different colleges. But at the same time, you're there,
- 1:13:54Speaker 7: they're shades of Adrian Peterson. When you see this guy
- 1:13:56Speaker 7: at six to one, two hundred and twenty five pounds
- 1:13:59Speaker 7: running in the fourth it's just easy to get excited
- 1:14:02Speaker 7: about the explosive element that he would provide. I think
- 1:14:06Speaker 7: that frankly, he would be a better a better tandem
- 1:14:11Speaker 7: with George Hallane. While you wait for Zach Charboney and
- 1:14:15Speaker 7: Kenny McIntosh et cetera, et cetera to get back onto
- 1:14:17Speaker 7: the field for you. Then even Jaderim Price, who I
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: think has a little bit of a similarities, so it
- 1:14:23Speaker 7: might be a little bit redundant to a player like
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: a George Halaney who you know. Schnyder and Mike McDonald
- 1:14:28Speaker 7: are both unprompted mentioned many times. So I do think
- 1:14:31Speaker 7: that Halani is playing a significant role in this. So
- 1:14:35Speaker 7: I think that there's good depth. As far as a
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: couple of the other backs. I think that you could
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: get Jonah Coleman from University of Washington's another player I'm
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: very high on. Think he's a third round selection all
- 1:14:46Speaker 7: day long. Emmitt Johnson from Nebraska. But after that, chuck
- 1:14:50Speaker 7: to me, I said a moment ago a good depth.
- 1:14:53Speaker 7: I was remissent saying that I think that it falls
- 1:14:56Speaker 7: off a cliff a little bit, and everybody else you're
- 1:14:58Speaker 7: gonna be finding on day three. They're gonna be kind
- 1:15:01Speaker 7: of rotational backs rather than a guy who could be
- 1:15:03Speaker 7: the bell cow if you need one.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: More I hear about this, the more it's like, I
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: don't mess around with this, just don't mess around with it.
- 1:15:11Speaker 6: I get that. Go for what you want. If you
- 1:15:12Speaker 6: want it, sit at thirty two.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Take Jadarium Price if that's your preferred guy, and maybe
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: you do even go early on Washington. If that's the
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: guy you like, then get the guy you like.
- 1:15:23Speaker 6: Don't go she said, don't mess around.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: I don't like Emmitt Johnson. I like, I love Emmit
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: Johnson the college football player. I'm not sure he's gonna
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: be that great of a pro. And so to me,
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: if you do have a running back in mind, if
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: it's one of these two guys, if in fact it is,
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: if we're reading the tea leaves correctly, then maybe you
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: don't mess around with it. Even if you get accused
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: of overdrafting them. They're not worthy of the thirty second selection.
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: Screw it, you got a need you like the guy.
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: I'm starting to lean toward just taking them when you
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: have the opportunity to take them. And I should clarify something.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: I don't think Rob likes Mike Washington Junior better than
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: Jadarean Price. I think that's pretty clear based on our
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: two conversations with him. Yeah, but I do. What he
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: said this week was I like Mike Washington Junior better
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: for the.
- 1:16:11Speaker 6: Seahawks, right, the fit with George Hallani and what they're
- 1:16:13Speaker 6: looking for.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: Right, then I do Jedaian Price. And I think he
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: also hinted that I think that the Seahawks are more
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: apt to take Mike Washington, They're more appt to like
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: Mike Washington Junior for what they're trying to do than
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: Jendarean Price.
- 1:16:27Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: Which, now, Hugh, hughcon Cornelius. He also is joining us
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: during the draft miss holiday for the first time ever.
- 1:16:39Speaker 9: By the way, Yeah, he's a new staple because yep,
- 1:16:41Speaker 9: he really likes draftmas.
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: Yep and uh. And so we had him go through
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: the exercise of grading the running backs and of course
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: I gave him three guys Jonah Coleman, and I gave
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: him Mike Washington Junior, and I gave him Jendarian Price. Well,
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: last week in Santa's backsack, we replayed his Mike Washington
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: Junior thought, So of course we're gonna have him. We're
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: gonna replay his Jendarian Price thoughts. So here's a huge
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: breakdown like only Hugh can do of Notre Dame's second
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: best running back in the draft.
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you only had two hundred and ninety
- 1:17:15Speaker 5: five carries slash catches. That's that's combined receptions and carries.
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: You know, the others that we're gonna talk about Joanah
- 1:17:25Speaker 5: Coleman at six thirty nine and Mike Washington six sixties,
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: so less than half of the others for obvious reasons.
- 1:17:32Speaker 5: Jeremiah Love is a legit thoroughbred. Top certainly top ten
- 1:17:38Speaker 5: pick top five wouldn't be inappropriate at all. So you've
- 1:17:43Speaker 5: get some comparison with Jendarium Price, you know, obviously running
- 1:17:49Speaker 5: behind and the same line as as Jeremiah Love. And
- 1:17:54Speaker 5: there's some there's some contrast, you know, in in yards
- 1:17:58Speaker 5: after contact, Love is in the ninety fifth percent price
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: eighty seventh breakaway percentage. Love is ninety six percent out
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: price eighty second but elusive rating Jeremiah Loved ninety second
- 1:18:14Speaker 5: percent out price, ninety first percentile. So there's some things
- 1:18:20Speaker 5: to like about him. You watch the tape and and
- 1:18:23Speaker 5: I think that he has the best lateral quickness. I
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: think he's got really good vision cutback. I think there's
- 1:18:31Speaker 5: an acceleration and coach. Just watching the tape, you know,
- 1:18:35Speaker 5: I feel like there's more of a jump cut ability
- 1:18:39Speaker 5: to him. Now he goes to the combine and the
- 1:18:43Speaker 5: combine did not help him, Chuck. I mean, he measured
- 1:18:47Speaker 5: at five eleven. The league thought he was.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: At two ten.
- 1:18:50Speaker 5: When you watch him on tape, his frame looks good.
- 1:18:54Speaker 5: You know, there's a thickness to his legs. But he
- 1:18:57Speaker 5: shows up at the combine two hundred three two hundred
- 1:19:00Speaker 5: three pounds. That's twenty third percent.
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: Of lessons since.
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety nine. That's in the eighteenth percentile of all
- 1:19:08Speaker 5: backs at the combine. So that's a concern. He had
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: had a tourn achilles back in twenty twenty two, you
- 1:19:15Speaker 5: know that you thought he he went, he got through,
- 1:19:18Speaker 5: and the speed on the tape looks good, you know,
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: if not elite, but he ran a four four nine
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: at two hundred or two hundred three pounds. That's a
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: little bit concerning. So now he would playing behind that
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: Notre Dame line. Nearly one in five of his career
- 1:19:36Speaker 5: career carries were fifteen plus yards, so there was an
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: explosiveness to him. But you know, we talked about the
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: workload eight point three carries per game over the last
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: two years, and if you're into kind of these advanced
- 1:19:49Speaker 5: new metrics and you really want a nitpick. He had
- 1:19:55Speaker 5: point eight yards per carry over expected, which is very modest,
- 1:19:59Speaker 5: and it kind of maybe speaks to some of his
- 1:20:01Speaker 5: numbers that the Notre Dame offensive line.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: Was pretty good.
- 1:20:06Speaker 5: But I like I like him. I think that uh,
- 1:20:10Speaker 5: he's certainly not a first round draft pick, possibly a
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: second round pick. You know, I could see him sliding
- 1:20:16Speaker 5: into the third. But but but there's some concerns there.
- 1:20:19Speaker 5: But I do think that lateral quickness and that shord
- 1:20:23Speaker 5: airy explosiveness. Uh, he's a fun player to watch.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: Hugh Mellen like only Hugh can do breaking down Jendarian
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: Price for you as hucon Cornelius Monday's those gems. Uh huh.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: He's going to do cornerbacks for us on Monday, and
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: we will do cornerbacks tomorrow and our draft miss catalog.
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: You know, it really does feel like we've had an
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: entire month and really a couple of months since ken
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: Walker became a Kansallity chief to kind of figure out
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: we know they're going to take a running back at
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: somewhere in the draft, right well, we don't know is
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: just how in love they are with Wilson Emmanuel Wilson,
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: who they got from the Packers. Uh and George Alane.
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: I mean, we just keep blowing off because we don't
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: think we want George Hallanie at running back, but man,
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: they sure do keep doubling down. Like we like George
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: alan We we've got people we're expecting them to take
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: a running back. Will it be the urgency with which
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: we're discussing it even on this show and throughout, you know,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: the Seahawk fandom. To me, it feels like if that's
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: a hole that and there's a drop off after these
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: first couple of guys that maybe you do have to
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: rally and get it. I will say this, there are
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: some other guys out there, and we'll get to them
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: here as we get down to crunch time. Jamari Taylor
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: out of Virginia is somebody that the Seahawks have brought in. Now.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: I'm looking at a ranking system right now that has
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: them as a Day two pick, but most of it
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: has been most of what I've seen about Jamari Taylors,
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: He's a Day three pick and not in every down
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: running back. The two guys out of Indiana, I like
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: both of them. Maybe that's just because I watched them
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: play more than anybody else, not a Husky because we
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: watched Indiana play so many games this year. But I
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: like both Rome and Hemby and I like Kaylon Black,
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: and yet they're probably going to be day three guys.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: Do I like anybody else in the first two days? No,
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: I don't. I kind of want it to be Price
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: or a Washington. That's kind of where I'm at right now.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: I don't like the Penn State guys. I'm not sure
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: that their skills are going to translate. I don't know
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: if they're quick enough. They were terrific college backs Singleton
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: and Allen, but I don't know if they've got the quickness.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: I mean, I think we're looking at Najie Harris types
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: coming out of Penn State there. So I'm not big
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: on them. So I'm kind of pigeonholed myself, and if
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: the Seahawks potentially have done that, then it might behoove them.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: I'm starting to lean toward as I think about my
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Seahawk mock draft thirty second pick stick and picking and
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: taking whichever guy you prefer. And if people criticize you
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: for taking Mike Washington Junior.
- 1:23:06Speaker 9: Too early, yeah, I mean if he turns out to
- 1:23:09Speaker 9: be great. No one's gonna they're gonna be like, how
- 1:23:11Speaker 9: did you know exactly?
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And if they end up taking them, I'll
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: be like, I like it. I think they know what
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: they're doing.
- 1:23:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: They don't usually screw this stuff up. At least they
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: haven't since Mike McDonald arrived on the scene. All right.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: Coming up next on the radio show, Riley pay is
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: going to join us. Oh, she's just a breath of
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: fresh air. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r F.

- 1:24:35Speaker 2: and Buck. Good morning, Riley, good morning.
- 1:24:38Speaker 13: Thanks for having me. Happy to be here.
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: I'm excited to see you tomorrow.
- 1:24:42Speaker 13: I know it feels like it's been so long.
- 1:24:44Speaker 8: I got to see you in the postseason though, which
- 1:24:46Speaker 8: was nice in between and the Mariners press box.
- 1:24:49Speaker 13: But I'm ready to go again for tomorrow.
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: It should be fun.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and thank you for not holding it against me.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: How many times I made a trip to get cookies
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: in the press box last postseason.
- 1:24:59Speaker 13: I didn't even know, so I don't judge.
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: Speaking of our kind of arrangements this year, I put
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: in for a hot tub for us and a potato
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: bar inside the booth this year. Has that gotten done?
- 1:25:12Speaker 3: Cool?
- 1:25:13Speaker 13: That sounds fantastic, doesn't it. I mean, we do have
- 1:25:16Speaker 13: we have a lot.
- 1:25:17Speaker 8: Of new things around the concourse. So there's some new
- 1:25:21Speaker 8: things that might be fun to try. But I think
- 1:25:23Speaker 8: those are two great ones.
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: Yeah, aren't they. Yeah, Well, we'll see. I mean it
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: sounds like they're gonna have to get on it pretty quickly.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: But yeah, right, like a lot of toppings on my potato.
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: So we'll see. All right, well, let's get into it.
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: Let's talk about the brand new season which is underway.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: And you got a game tonight on a thirsty Thursday.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: Sacramento river Cats, which are the Giants that's their affiliate,
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: are in town for the weekend. And then you've got
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: to throw back Weekend this weekend. What does that entail,
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: by the way, Throwback Weekend.
- 1:25:59Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a fun week against the Giants affiliate. Last
- 1:26:02Speaker 8: night we had our first game, so today we're actually
- 1:26:05Speaker 8: gonna have a double header, which is always exciting. We
- 1:26:07Speaker 8: had some weather in Tacoma on Tuesday, so today we'll
- 1:26:11Speaker 8: play too. But then, like you said that, throughout this weekend,
- 1:26:13Speaker 8: I got a lot of promotions going on. Cheenie Studs
- 1:26:16Speaker 8: is going to be our throwback Weekend Jersey this year.
- 1:26:20Speaker 8: So Throwback Weekend is just a blast every weekend. I
- 1:26:23Speaker 8: know a lot of the fans really enjoy it, or
- 1:26:26Speaker 8: not every weekend every year, rather as we kind of
- 1:26:29Speaker 8: pay homage to the teams that were in Tacoma before us.
- 1:26:33Speaker 8: So this will be our throwback weekend for this year.
- 1:26:36Speaker 8: Last season, the Cubs and the Tugs were the two
- 1:26:40Speaker 8: jerseys that the team dawned throughout the weekend. But this
- 1:26:43Speaker 8: year it's gonna be the Chinese Studs. So a great
- 1:26:46Speaker 8: time to come out to the ballparks. Two first thousand fans,
- 1:26:50Speaker 8: we'll get a special Cheenie Studs hats giveaway, and so
- 1:26:54Speaker 8: it's a fun time where we get to kind of
- 1:26:56Speaker 8: throw back to the teams that were in Tacoma before
- 1:26:59Speaker 8: the rains.
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: The best merch in the entire sports world, by sorry
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: out there with the rainier. So I can't wait to
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: see the new Threads then, which are going to be
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: the old Threads. All right, So you've had the pleasure
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: of calling Colt Emerson's first games as a triple A
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: baseball player, and with all the hype around him here
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: in Seattle, what is it that you are seeing Riley?
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:27:26Speaker 8: I mean we got him for the last week of
- 1:27:29Speaker 8: the regular season last year where he hit the ground
- 1:27:31Speaker 8: running a couple of home runs in his first week
- 1:27:34Speaker 8: in Tacoma, and then he joined us for the playoff
- 1:27:37Speaker 8: run as well in Las Vegas and was a huge
- 1:27:39Speaker 8: asset there and then super excited to get him back
- 1:27:42Speaker 8: for the beginning of this season, and he picked up
- 1:27:45Speaker 8: exactly where he left off last year. He's been off
- 1:27:48Speaker 8: to a really strong start, and I think the most
- 1:27:51Speaker 8: impressive thing always that sticks out about him is just
- 1:27:54Speaker 8: his mentality and how grounded he is. I think you
- 1:27:57Speaker 8: can ask anybody talking to John Russell about it as well.
- 1:28:00Speaker 8: A couple times this season he's just always mentioned how
- 1:28:03Speaker 8: that's the thing that sticks out about him.
- 1:28:05Speaker 13: With the buzz that's.
- 1:28:07Speaker 8: Constantly going on around him, he's able to kind of
- 1:28:10Speaker 8: stay where his feed are and he's focused on winning
- 1:28:12Speaker 8: where he's at, which I think is one of the
- 1:28:14Speaker 8: coolest things. And he mentioned that as well after his
- 1:28:18Speaker 8: contract extension, just how he's ready to win games Intocoma
- 1:28:23Speaker 8: right now and then he will think about the future
- 1:28:26Speaker 8: as it comes. So I think that's the thing that
- 1:28:27Speaker 8: sticks out with everything that's going on around him. But
- 1:28:31Speaker 8: just baseball wise, everything is advertised. He's gone a couple
- 1:28:36Speaker 8: reps at third base in the last couple of weeks
- 1:28:38Speaker 8: as well, where he's looked excellent. There are some really
- 1:28:41Speaker 8: nice plays, and that's kind of been the theme around
- 1:28:45Speaker 8: our clubhouse too, is just the guys that we have
- 1:28:48Speaker 8: right now.
- 1:28:48Speaker 13: There's a lot of talents.
- 1:28:49Speaker 8: So with that, there's a lot of guys that are
- 1:28:52Speaker 8: getting reps at other positions and are just being really
- 1:28:55Speaker 8: versatile and talking to cult during spring training, he said
- 1:28:58Speaker 8: that was a point of emphasis for him, is that
- 1:29:01Speaker 8: some of the best mariners are able to play multiple positions.
- 1:29:04Speaker 8: So that's something that's important to him, and he said
- 1:29:07Speaker 8: that's he's enjoyed getting to kind of pick the brains
- 1:29:11Speaker 8: of the guys at camp. And then also everybody raving
- 1:29:13Speaker 8: about Perry Hill. He said that was a huge help
- 1:29:16Speaker 8: as well.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: Riddy Pay is with us. She is the play by
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: play voice of the Tacoma Rainiers and her second season
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: on the job, and she is joining us to talk
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: about our big Rainiers weekend that we're doing in conjunction
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: with them here at KHR. And Emerson's got a hundred
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: million dollars. I hope he's at least bought you a
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: hot dog or something like that. Is he is he
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: throwing his cash around down there in Tacoma, No, not
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: at all.
- 1:29:42Speaker 13: I think once you meet him, you will see that
- 1:29:44Speaker 13: he's a.
- 1:29:45Speaker 8: Very humble, very humble guy, and so I think he
- 1:29:49Speaker 8: enjoyed the day and everything that came with it, but
- 1:29:52Speaker 8: he has very much been back to business and that
- 1:29:55Speaker 8: has yeah, not even not even been a factor, which
- 1:29:58Speaker 8: is really really cool.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: Well, he'd better buy me something. I have met him
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: and he owes me. Who else has stood out? Give
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: me one other name of somebody that's just having having
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: a great year so far with the Rainiers.
- 1:30:12Speaker 13: I mean there's been quite a few.
- 1:30:14Speaker 8: We have a lot of talent here to start the year.
- 1:30:17Speaker 8: Patrick Wisdom, who just got selected by Seattle a few
- 1:30:20Speaker 8: days ago, led the minor leagues and the major leagues
- 1:30:23Speaker 8: and home runs early on nine homers with us, and
- 1:30:26Speaker 8: so that was exciting to see. It was nearly every
- 1:30:30Speaker 8: day that he hit a home run, so that was
- 1:30:31Speaker 8: a big one. And then along with it too, we
- 1:30:33Speaker 8: have some younger prospects in brock Rowden, who is getting
- 1:30:37Speaker 8: his first taste of Triple A this year and he's
- 1:30:40Speaker 8: been excellent to start out this season. Another guy who's
- 1:30:42Speaker 8: been really versatile. He's been in the outfield, in the infield,
- 1:30:45Speaker 8: and you can put him anywhere in the lineup and
- 1:30:46Speaker 8: he's been able to produce. So I think you go
- 1:30:49Speaker 8: top to bottom, there's there's a little bit of everything.
- 1:30:52Speaker 8: But the pitching staff especially too, has been really impressive.
- 1:30:55Speaker 8: It's one of the best pitching staffs in the PCL
- 1:30:58Speaker 8: right now. And some exciting bullpen additions too. I know,
- 1:31:02Speaker 8: obviously with Seattle's focus being the bullpen in the off season,
- 1:31:06Speaker 8: we kind of get some of the benefit of that
- 1:31:08Speaker 8: as well. And guys like Alex Hoppy who are with
- 1:31:10Speaker 8: us right now, coming over from the Red Sox this
- 1:31:13Speaker 8: off season and he's kind of stepped in as a
- 1:31:16Speaker 8: in the closer role.
- 1:31:17Speaker 13: For us and has been able to get.
- 1:31:20Speaker 8: Three saves already through an immaculate inning last weekend, and
- 1:31:24Speaker 8: he's just been excellent with a high nineties fastball, really
- 1:31:27Speaker 8: good slider.
- 1:31:28Speaker 13: So a lot of guys that have been fun to watch.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: Oh, very cool, very cool. And then you've got the
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: Rivercats and as Bryce Eldridge playing for them right now,
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: and with the river Cats, yeah, so he's there. He's
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: their big prospect, big first basement power, aating first basement.
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: So uh yeah, there's a there's a lot to watch
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: this weekend.
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:31:48Speaker 13: We got to see Bryce Eldrid Joe a little bit last.
- 1:31:50Speaker 8: Season when he got called up and he did well
- 1:31:53Speaker 8: at Cheeney Stadium, and yesterday he hit another home run
- 1:31:55Speaker 8: in the first inning. He was a three run holer
- 1:31:58Speaker 8: to kick start the offense. And I think he's a
- 1:32:00Speaker 8: guy that when you look at him and the power
- 1:32:03Speaker 8: that he provides, it's really effortless, just very effortless swing.
- 1:32:08Speaker 8: And I definitely another guy who is definitely as advertised
- 1:32:13Speaker 8: and you see the excitement of what surrounds him and
- 1:32:18Speaker 8: what he'll be for the Giants one day.
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: How's Riley feeling a second year, Like now it's old
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: hat to you. I mean, you're now you know all
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: the hot spots and Tacoma. I mean, how are you
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: settling into the job and being in Washingtonian?
- 1:32:33Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's I've definitely gotten to see a
- 1:32:36Speaker 8: little bit more than when we last talked. I moved
- 1:32:39Speaker 8: last March just before the season started, so I hadn't
- 1:32:42Speaker 8: really gotten to see where exactly it was that I
- 1:32:44Speaker 8: was living necessarily with all the travel throughout the year,
- 1:32:47Speaker 8: and so I've tried my best to kind of get
- 1:32:49Speaker 8: out and see the different spots in the community and
- 1:32:53Speaker 8: figure out.
- 1:32:54Speaker 13: Where the good places are to go.
- 1:32:56Speaker 8: And everybody's been super helpful to kind of share their recommendations.
- 1:33:00Speaker 8: But it's been a great off season I've enjoyed it
- 1:33:03Speaker 8: a ton to just get to be in the same area,
- 1:33:07Speaker 8: same system for another year, see familiar faces, and just
- 1:33:12Speaker 8: kind of know what's on the horizon and what the
- 1:33:15Speaker 8: year entails. I think always after the first year, you
- 1:33:19Speaker 8: just feel like you have your feet under you a
- 1:33:20Speaker 8: little bit more. And so I'm excited to be back here.
- 1:33:23Speaker 8: And it was a really awesome first season between our
- 1:33:29Speaker 8: playoff run the Mariners playoff run.
- 1:33:31Speaker 13: So whenever anybody asked me how the first season went,
- 1:33:34Speaker 13: it's hard to top. It was an awesome year, all right.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: So you know, I do the all day. Whenever I
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: do a game with you, I just leave as soon
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: as my show's over here at ten o'clock and I
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: just spend the entire day in Tacoma. I've got a
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: few spots that I've found that I like. Always have
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: to hit the record store. I know that. So do
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: you have a recommendation for me? You got someplace to
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: send me for lunch tomorrow? Have you found a special
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: Riley paid place?
- 1:34:01Speaker 13: Well, that's a good question. I will preface.
- 1:34:04Speaker 8: I drink a lot of coffee, so I know a
- 1:34:07Speaker 8: coffee shops really like current coffee.
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: That one is our coffee. That was to write that.
- 1:34:11Speaker 8: Now, that was actually recommended to me from Alex Smyer
- 1:34:15Speaker 8: in Seattle. He has a few Tacoma spots that he knows,
- 1:34:18Speaker 8: and that one's awesome. And howdy, bagel's really good too.
- 1:34:23Speaker 8: I know they're widely known around the Tacoma area and
- 1:34:27Speaker 8: it's a really good bagel in the morning. So if
- 1:34:29Speaker 8: you're here in the morning, those are the two that
- 1:34:31Speaker 8: I've enjoyed.
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: Okay, those that's some great advice. I'm going to try
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: to take you up on that. So all right, well,
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. We'll have some fun.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining us, and have a
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: great year.
- 1:34:42Speaker 13: All right, thanks so much, look forward to tomorrow.
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: All right. There she is Riley pay play by play
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: voice for your Tacoma Rayniers. I mean, having to fill
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: the gigantic shows of Mike Curdo for goodness sake, and
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: she's terrific to work with. So got to do a
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: few games with her last year. Looks like I get to
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: do a few more with her this year starting tomorrow,
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: and Softy and it will be out there. I mean,

- 1:35:17Speaker 2: it's the best merch store you'll ever go to. It's
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: such a great fun environment. If it's been a while
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: or if you've never been to a Rainiers game, highly recommended.
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: It's just fun.

- 1:35:29Speaker 2: And yes sometimes it interferes with having to watch the
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: Mariner game that particular night, but you know, yeah, yeah,
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: you know, I did a few times last year myself
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: and I survived.

- 1:35:44Speaker 9: You can watch it back on TV later.
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: Yeah.

- 1:35:49Speaker 2: with the Rainiers this year. What do you say? And
