  Speaker 2: And it was just kind of a lost week at
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: three and three, a lost series to Boston, which is
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: not good. There's a lot of storylines for the ms
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: we're gonna get to in a minute. I do want
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to start here though, as I'm watching the celebration in Arlington,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Texas with MESSI becoming an all time leading goal scorer
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: World Cup history with a two to nothing win today
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: over Austria. As I see him walking around the field celebrating,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: waving to all the fans in Dallas in Jerry's World,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: which is to me, honestly one of my favorite stadiums
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I've ever been to. I think it's awesome. It's just
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: an architectural masterpiece, as is so far in la I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: see all that and I think to myself, whatever, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and what I mean by whatever is as I see
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Alexi Lawless, rob Stone and Company. Actually that's Peter Schmichael,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: who's the old German goalkeeper. Sorry god, Peter, I feel bad.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Why did I call you? Alexi Lallis? I just saw
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the side few. Anyways, I see them standing there in
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the end zone doing their post game show. I'm going
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to say the word again, whatever. Now before you think
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'm bashing on the World Cup or soccer, far from it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: When I say whatever, it's cool. You got to be
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of people there in Arlington today. It ain't Seattle.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It is not Seattle. I was there and I'm gonna
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: get your thoughts in a second. Yeah, what we saw
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a week ago today for the first match for Egypt Belgium,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and I told you guys, I think you were off
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that day, but I drove left a little early, drove
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: along the water front where the streets were still open
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: before that match which started at noon, and the vibe
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: last Monday was so awesome. Every Jersey nation represented. It
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: felt like you know, I mean, it was crazy down there.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That was Monday for let me emphasize this one more time.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Egypt and Belgium sold out game getting price was still
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: just around a little under one thousand dollars. It was
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a World Cup match, Egypt and Belgium. Well, then the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: week builds up and Friday happens. I was lucky enough
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to not have to come to Seattle. Now I'll tell
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you where I went in a little bit. But we
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: just to take a little side step and I'm going
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to connect the two. The world the US opened, one
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of the four majors in golf was held in Jess's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: home area, Long Island, Shinnacock over the weekend. Yes, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: it was getting widely criticized for a lot of reasons.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The winds not even the problem. The fans big problem.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: It's been there too many times. Getting out there is hard.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: It's difficult, right, it's difficult.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: It is. How long is it from the city to Shnnacock.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: It depends on the transport.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I heard like seventy miles or something, right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I mean if you're talking about distance. Yeah, but like
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: if you're going to take a train or whatever whatever,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: how are you get out there? Like, say you're in
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the city, right, involved a couple hours?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: A couple hours, yes, right, A couple from where a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: mass from where the people are. It's a couple hours. Yeah, Okay,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that's why I thought. I thought I saw like it was.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It takes all the way out there, and and it's
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the Hampton's are exclusive for a reason, right, Like they
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: don't want you out there.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: They they want it very clear, want.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: The common folk out as an up Islander, as they
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: call us.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I grew up at the other end of the island.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: The up As long as you're not out there, you're
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: an up Island.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, how long for like, how how long would it
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: take you to get there? How challenging would be for
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you to get there from where you lived?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: From where I lived.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I grew up on Nasa County, so I was on
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: a good train line. It goes out to Babylon and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: then I would go from there. So a couple hours, yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: even on the island, okay, perfect on the island, yes, Okay,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: so Manhattan a couple hours. You gotta transfer of Jamaica.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Then you got to get the right rail line.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yes. So it's a pain.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm watching this and I'm huge golf fans. Saturday
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: was Fathersday. Was fun, Saturdy, it was even I want
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: to say better, wasn't better, But Saturday was a day
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of rest and relaxation and I watched a lot of golf.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: And happy Fathers.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that, thank you. I'm watching that in New York
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and I'm just gonna call it's it's the greater New
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: York area. So when they say it's I know that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: people from New York deck and what are gonna say?
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: No?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: But that's also but the World Cup is being based
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Like when you see the World Cup and it's it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: in quote New York, it's in New Jersey, right, So
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I mean that's that I'm lumping it together. That's that's
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: how it's looked at from the world.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So people think I'm from Jersey when they're here.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Long Island.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So I'm watching this, this golf. The lack of enthusiasm,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: well a two things. One fans that just have no
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: clue how to be golf fans rude everything on Wyndham
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Clark's he can be an ass hat. That's fine. He
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: is not a guy you want to but you don't.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: The one thing with golf is you don't root for guys.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You don't root against guys, like you don't hope their
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: ball rolls off the green stuff Like that's just not
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: it's not how it goes. But they're doing that. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that was the handful of people were there, like the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: late rounds on on Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Easily the only way you can have a worse atmosphere
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: for a major golf tournament. IM to bring this back
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in a second, so to stay with me. No, you're
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: not golf fans, but the only way you can have
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a worse atmosphere for a golf tournament, for a major
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: golf tournament, is if you held it in I don't know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: wait for it COVID times. Okay, that's how bad it was.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: But my god, it's a it's in sorry, Jess, it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: in New York and it's in this it's in the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it's an exclusive area, but it's but it's they consider
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that New York. That's what they consider when when golf,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I know, it's not in your mind. I know it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: not in your mind when to dance with me here,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it's not it, But that's how it's considered. And same
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: thing with New Jersey where the met Life Stadium is.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: That is New York where both New York teams correct.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And it's like, well, we got to be in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: epicenter and Shinnacock has this historical course. It was awful.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Every bit of it was awful and mostly just so.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Then I look at matt Life Stadium, that's where the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: finals for the World Cup are going to be. Any
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Seahawk fan that went to the Super Bowl that wasn't
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in the media like us and had to actually take
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: transportation out there knows what a pain in the.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Asset was terrible.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I lucked out. I didn't. I just heard stories,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but I I yeah, so, but we got to be
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: in New York slash New Jersey. But we got to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: be in New York met Life Stadium. Nothing can match
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: what we had here on Friday and on Thursday. Let's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: go back a couple of days. On Thursday, what do
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: we talk about on the show. Vancouver, British Columbia because
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of where the stadium is, Downtown, everything's around it, BC Place,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that's where there, that's where the stadium is. And Seattle
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: because of where Lumen Field is located. Those two offer unique,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: incredible venues that don't just include in stadium. It includes
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: obviously out of the stadium, and not just in the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: two blocks around the stadium. As you found out as
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you were about a mile and a half away up
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: at Peer fifty whatever it was, Yeah, fifty eight, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: then go even to Peer sixty two or the damn
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: brobarges like you got all these things going on what
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we saw on Friday, Like nothing's going to change. It
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: won't never change. I thought about Chambers Bay in twenty fifteen,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere at Chambers Bay in twenty fifteen, Oh God forbid,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: you can't fans can't get on the side of every hole.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I thought that was the loveliest and just the atmosphere
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: was incredible for a major It was in incredible, believable,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and the only thing bad about it was the USGA
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: US Golf Association. They killed our course in the Northwest
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: by not watering it, by refusing to water it. The
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: greens were a problem anyway going in and we were
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: there all week and we watched them never water the course,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: and they got away from them. And then they complained
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: about Chambers Bay. The fans were unbelievable. I the venue
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: was the venue, the setup was getting it out was
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: getting in and out was unbelievable easy. They did a
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: great job down on seamers Baal. I'll never come back here.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: We're never gonna get a work a US Open again.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: We just aren't.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Has everyone complained about the greens.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Well because none, just because of everything, because it's not
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: historical course, much like we're not going to get the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: World Cup. We get the round of thirty two sixteen.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: There's no better place in America right now to have
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: a soccer match, none of this magnitude than lumen Field. Yeah,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's about ten thousand seats, less than a couple of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: them so far, or Jerry's World. Who the hell cares
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: met Life Stadium. But what we saw Friday, man, I
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: was like, you know, if you live here, you live
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: here for a reason, probably because either like me, you
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: grew up here and you left and you can't you
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: wanted to come back because it's home, or Jess has
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: been here for a long time, you've loved it here.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I thought I was going to be here for like
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: three years, and now we haven't left fifteen.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Now it's and listen, we have our issues here. We
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: all know we have our issues.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Every place has issue, every place does.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But man, what we saw, what we saw on Friday
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: from Afar, and I'll get your thoughts in a second.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: What I saw from Afar on Friday was one of
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the coolest things ever. And my god, if the US
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: advances to the round of sixteen, I can't even fathom
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: what it'll be like for that. But what a day,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: what an atmosphere. Our city showed out, the fans showed out,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And nothing that this sport, in this tournament is doing
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: can top what we saw on Friday until and unless
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the US gets to the round of sixteen and comes
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: back here, which is pretty likely to happen, and it
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: will be even crazier, but nothing will be able to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: compare to what we had on Friday for a group
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: stage match. Nothing that they can do in La Arlington, Texas, Miami,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, New York, wherever you want to call MetLife.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: We all know it's in New Jersey, et cetera. Nothing,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: nothing can compare to what we had here. It's also
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: one of those things when I hear people say, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I know it's the world stage just once in a lifetime,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah, all those things. Man, we have great
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: sports fans here. They just get it, you know, the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: people just get it here. Underrated sports town always has been,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: always will be cracking or fighting that perception right now. Seahawks,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: until they hit the lottery with a bunch of really
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: good draft picks in twenty ten, eleven, and twelve and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: got good kind of fought that for a while as well.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: The baseball team certainly fights that too. You know, you
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: got to overpay for guys to come here, which is
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: weird because once they do come here, they don't want
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to leave. They stay. Bobby McMahon's a great example. You
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: could have made more a.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Very addictive city in the positive way.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon could have made more money on the open
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: market he elected to stay. Josh Naylor could have made
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: more money on the open market. Probably he elected to stay.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: You got to get him.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Here, Julio Felix, all those good Yeah, there's plenty.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And then I'm hearing Greg and Nico talk earlier and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: there's guys in the US men's national team who have
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: expiring contracts different places around the soccer world, and they're
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: like wow, asking Christian rolled on, is this what it is? Goes, yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: this is this is Seattle soccer is something else. It's different.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was a cool day. It was
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: an awesome day. You were there, you got there early, right, Yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I was down there. Our good friend Kelsey Sours over
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: on Hits and I went down together to take it
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: all in, see it, report from it, do everything we could.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: And we were down there at about seven fifteen in
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: So it was more coffee than Bruce going around. But
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: then around eight, which is when the Men and Blazers
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: took the stage and Marshawn came on and he was wonderful,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and that's about when it started to get But it
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: wasn't even rowdy. I couldn't describe it as rowdy. It
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: was fun. Yeah, and there were Australian fans there. I
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: know a lot of them were at Victory Hall where
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: that was their last congregation, so we mostly had USA fans.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Everyone was there for a good time. And then I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: went to the march and inadvertently became a part of
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: the march. Whoops?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: How many people were part of the march? Tens tens
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: of Yes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Because I try.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: To go for the game, I down head home.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: No, I went down to it outside of it. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: then I went over to the Mariners Stadium because I
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: also worked a little pre game there as well, so
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I was not watching at some place.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: I was listening from outside of it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: When we had the Mariners Seahawks double header last year,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Minor's playoff game against Detroit, Derek and Trek Scoogle the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: five o'clock start. The Seahx played Tampa Bay earlier that day.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I did the double dip that day, went to both
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and I said, wow, I don't I don't know if
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: we could ever top this. Maybe if it was a
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: World Series game and not a divisional playoff game, maybe
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that would top it. And then I watched Friday from
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Afar and went, wow, this is this is insane. Now
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I'm also old. I had no desire to be down
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: there so I'm glad you guys were there. Well I
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: double dipped, Yes, had zero desire to find my way
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: down there at all, But I love watching it from afar.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It reminded me a little bit. There's one moment that
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: reminded me a little bit when when College Game Day
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: came on in Pullman, the various first things out of
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Rhys Davis's mouth as are showing the drone shots and
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: everything else, what took us so long to get here?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Because remember it was just insane.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Well, off air he said something else.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's using the words we can't stay in the air.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: But on the air his first words was like, oh,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: what took us so long? Yeah, and this is something
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and they all said they've never seen an atmosphere like that. Well,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: then we're watching the pregame and Rob Stone and company.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: They're in the North Parking Lot that's set on the
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: North Parking Lot outside the stadium, and you couldn't even
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: hear him. Carly Lloyd starts to talk. I've nobody knows
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: what she said, probably was really good insight. Nobody knows,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: nobody ever will know and know why because it was
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: so damn loud. Good job Seattle, tip of the cap
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: to and it's not list. I know there's a lot
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: of people from outside of the area, the country, what
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: have you, and and international fans were here. But man,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: nice job, Seattle. We showed out. We showed out really well.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: It's just a shame. It is an absolute it's a
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: crime that because we're Seattle, we won't have anything after
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the round of sixteen. Because this town, that stadium, the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: fans here, the city, the businesses, they deserve it because
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: our city has rarely, if ever looked better. And oh,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: by the way, seventy five degrees, it's sunny. I thought
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: it always rained in Seattle. Apparently not.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, we're not supposed to tell people about that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. It was great.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: What I would also say is that the atmosphere down there,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: outside of the fan hood, everything was safe.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It felt that way. And yeah, it felt that way, Jess.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Really easy to get around. We walked miles down there,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: and I never felt unsafe. And I thought that was
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: a really good showing for Seattle.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. Day four four five. One thoughts on that,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: all right, we come back, might wop at one. But
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I got a little snipet I'm gonna play from it
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: because we already taped it. I'm gonna throw something at
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you guys about the Mariners in this season. I want
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to get your feedback on. We'll do that next.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Now back to e in Furness on your home for
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the Huskies Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: by Seattle's closest Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: All right, we're back on a Monday afternoon. He interronesced
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: with you, Jessmans in the other room, Andrews. We don't
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: know where he's at. I guess he's probably celebrating Messy
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: right right.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: He and Augustine had deserved that championship.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Can they can be excited? Someday we'll see him someday.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Someday he'll come home to us here in this Wool
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: show in the afternoon. In the meantime, he's doing soccer coverage.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Are great soccer coverage on ninety three point three KJFM,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: nine fifty on the AM dial and everything else across
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the iHeart network, hundred stations across the country that he
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and Jackson Feltz are doing stuff for which is really
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: cool along the way. So we'll get to all that
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: as the days go on. So Mariners wrap up a
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: homestand and it was anything but exciting in terms of
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: run scored, no more than three in any game. They
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: did go three and three during the week, just kind
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: of as the kids would say, it kind of up, eh,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you know, huh whatever. They're still above five hundred and
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: forty and thirty nine. They're still in first place in
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the American League West, a game and a half above
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the Athletics and two games clear of the Rangers. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: would caution everybody the Houston Astros now just three games
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: behind Seattle. Remember, weren't they left for dead? The Astros.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Weren't they done? Yeah, they have climbed their way back into.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Are we worried about them?
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Well, they've climbed their way back into shouting distance of
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the MS. I'm not worried about Houston. I'm not worried
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: about Texas. I'm certainly not worried about the Athletics. But
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I am worried about our baseball team.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Well, the injury bug has bitten.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: That honestly justts nothing to do with it. Oh, we're
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: going to get deeper into this with Nathan and Chris
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: at one o'clock molliwat Monday. We taped it earlier. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: had just pull a little sound by doubt because I'm
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: gonna set something up for you guys. This is Nathan Bishop,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: a little clip from our malliwat Monday. Again. The Wholes
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: episode coming up at one pm today. You don't want
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to miss it. I would say spicy would be the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: way i'd phrase it. Today boys were fired up. Nathan
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Bishop on what he's thought of the m season so far.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: I know it's not officially the halfway point, but I
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: think we can call it spiritually the halfway point. It's
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: like a rounding error to the official halfway point of
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: the season. And I just am stuck thinking what a
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: waste of a first half of the season this has been.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: It's been uninteresting, it's been uninspired, it's been kind of boring.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: This team has had so much runway given to them
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: by their division and by their league to seize it
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: and to make it into something that they've we haven't experienced.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: We have finally experienced a division title, but we haven't
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: seen a team spend a first half stretching itself out
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: and asserting itself as a dominant force in the league,
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: as opposed to just waiting around till after the trade
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: deadline and then going on some seventeen out of eighteen
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: or fourteen game win streak in order to get to
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: ninety wins or eighty eight wins or eighty seven or
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: whatever it is. And it just feels like, what was
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: this all? What has happened for the last three months,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: What have we learned, Who's gotten better? What storyline has developed?
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: And it just feels like the season hasn't even really
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: started yet, and it just feels uninteresting and uninspiring to watch.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, who's gotten bad? I guess Cold Emerson
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Cole Young to a point. There's a little bit of
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a regression there, but with Emerson, but he'll come back.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: He's I mean, his play at shurself's been phenomenal. It's
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: just been fun to watch. But as Nathan was saying
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: that today and again, we'll hear everything from both those
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: guys coming up starting at one. Sometimes we're prisoners of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the moment, you know, And when we do this show
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: every week, I always have to remind people it's it's
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: based on what we saw in the previous seven days.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But in this case, Nathan brought up the season so far.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: There's seventy nine games in two one hundred and sixt
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: so yeah, they're three games away from or two games
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: away from the halfway mark of the season and just
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: kind of hovering around that five hundred mark. They did
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: mix in a nice little eight game winning streak which
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: helped im mentally. And you can't take that away, you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: like much like you can't take a big losing streak
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: away if that happens later on this year, or another
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: big winning streak, you can't take that away. But maybe
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the numbers are skewed a little bit because of that
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: long winning streak. But as he's talking about that today,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: first of all, the American League, there are counted three
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: teams in the American League that have a positive run differential.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: The Yankee he's at one twelve, the Mariners at plus seventeen,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and the Rays at plus eight. Three teams in a
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: positive run differential. I'll ask I'll ask Youan about that tomorrow.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: He'll probably help me about how it's a stat that
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter, but I'll ask him about any Nevertheless, it
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: just that's kind of the American League. But here's my
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: question to all of you as a Mariner fan, because
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: we came into this year with such high expectations and excitement,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the excitement level through.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: The roof, so after last year, it makes right.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Sellout crowds over the weekend. I know yesterday was a sellout.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I think Friday might have been.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I was on Saturday and it was bunkers.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Was it? Was it sold out? Do you think or not?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Could you tell?
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Was it like when I say sold out? Like upper decks?
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Folk at upper decks and I don't see an empty sky.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so just three huge crowds people are coming out.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Now listen, is there a better place to be on
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: a Saturday night in Seattle than the ballpark on the waterfront?
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Maybe not a lot of Australians sitting by me and.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: They have that and they have that, they have that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: But people double dipping and doing the fun.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah on Friday, Yeah, and then obviously Saturday, I think.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: But the excitement levels there, I get that there is,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: but then the team hits the field and they're a
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: five hundred baseball team. We had higher expectations. The good
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: news is you can get away with kind of being
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: and just fighting your way to the playoffs and see
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: what happens at that point, and they could end we
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: could end up having a parade end of October early November,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna look back. God, remember back in June
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: late June, we're talking about how this season was just
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: kind of lackadaisical and just kind of and kind of
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: what I think about, Well, we would hope that would happen,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: but then you're kind of going through that. It's like, Okay,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: let's i'll ask the question. Nathan used two words the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: season so far, uninteresting, uninspiring. How would you describe it
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: so far? If you're a Marina fan and I'm not
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: talking about the ballpark atmosphere because that's always going to
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: be good. They do a great job there and they
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: so I don't care about that. I care about what
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: you as a Mariner fan. How would you as a
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Mariner fan right now? How would you describe this season
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: so far? Nate use those two words uninteresting, uninspiring. We're
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: gonna get into something a little bit later too, because
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: uninspiring is a term that's synonymous with some criticism that
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor has got this year. I'll bring that up
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: during the show. I saw this yesterday quite a bit,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: and I love Josh Naylor. I'm so glad he signed here.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And then I'm watching him play and I'm like, dude,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: like what happened to you? Like you're the uber competitive
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: let's get every ball like he's just missing balls at first.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: The crap throw he made yesterday to Logan was just
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: h dude, Like, have some effort, some passion, some bit
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: of drive. But that kind of to me typifies the team.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And I know they understand they've been banged up. A
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: lot of teams are banked up. Okay, you said it's
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: not because you can't use that as an issue because
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: everyone has issues. Everyone has injuries, Aaron Judge anyone, Like, Okay,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the Houston Astros, they're battling their way back. They've had
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: more injuries than the Mariners have, certainly to their staff
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: and I mean key guys. So how would you four
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: nine four or five to one on the Tacoma Dodge
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: text line four nine four or five one? How would
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you describe the season so far? Nathan said on on
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: interesting and uninspiring? Just kind of how would you describe it?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe you feel better about it? So far? Maybe not?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: And again, this is where baseball is just so different.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: If so long, yes, because if we had this conversation,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: this would be equivalent of eight games into the football season, right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: because you're two games away from halfway market two months right.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: But if but just dance with me, it's two months
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: into or eight games into a football season. If we
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: were saying eight games into the football season, the Seahawks
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: are sitting there at four and four, just kind of
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: red lights would be going off. Panic would be in
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the streets. What's going on? What's happening? What are the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: reasons for it? Hugh's going to be on the station
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: with all of us twenty four to seven breaking it down.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: What's going on? Answer me this, Hugh? Why is it blank?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: You know we'll be calling up Cosel. What's going on?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Baseball's different. And even though both are whether it's four
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and four football season or a five hundred baseball season
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: at the eighty one mark or eighty mark, they both
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: sound similar, they're not. Because baseball, you can finish, this
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: team can finish with eighty three wins and win the division.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks are not going to win the division. One
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: game of two games above five hundred, not with the
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: other teams in their division. That is different. But the
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: thing is is, and that's where baseball is strange. They
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: can literally sleep walk through this entire season, kind of
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: like they've sleepwalked through the first half of the year.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: They can do that the rest of the season, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: they can finish with eighty one and probably not. Let's
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: say they finished with eighty three eighty four wins, they
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: probably still may win the division, depending on who the
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: two teams out of the lone Star State do. They
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: could still win it. And then maybe a switch gets
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: hit or more importantly, their elite starting pitching drives them
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: to the ALCS, maybe even to a World Series. They
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: can do that. Baseball is unique in that sport. Other
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: sports you can't do that. You can't do that in
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the NHL, you can't do that in the NBA, you
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: can't do that in NFL. In baseball you can. But
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I don't that stuff aside as a Mariner fan, you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: watching every night, maybe you're at two or three games
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: a week when they're at home. What have you? You're
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: doing all a lot of us do you have the

  Speaker 2: thousand and ten. No, you want to watch what's going on.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: You want to watch this team, But they're not giving
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: you a lot. They're not giving you a lot of
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: reason to be excited. Outside of Gilbert's two last two starts,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: the odds start by another guy. Well, let's just say this,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Brian wo when he starts at home, that's exciting. Brian
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Wio when he starts on the road, not exciting unless
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: you're the other team. I mean, how would you describe
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the season? Uninspiring and interesting? Is what Nathan said? Four
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: nine four or five to one. Love to hear your
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: voice as well on the talk back fire those off

  Speaker 1: Cracking and the twelve Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: closest Snow Call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM, my Wa Monday.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Coming up top of the hour talking all things Mariners
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: with you. All happened to my TV here? That's a
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: World Cup. I want to see it. It's frozen? Frozen?
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Oh no, do I have to come in?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: No, don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. My
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: friend Greg Bell turns the TV off evorite times. He
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: is not happy with him about that.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Doesn't want to be distracted all for God's sakes.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know why anyway, So mall wa come on
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: top of me. I just throw the question out of
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: a moment ago almost in the midway point of season, Nathan
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: will tell you in mali Wa Monday that the season
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: so far has been uninspiring and uninteresting. What do you think?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Four nine, four to five one? How would you describe
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: it so far? Disappointing, exciting? I don't know what the
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: hell he's talking about. Fire away your thoughts? What would
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: you say?
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: I'm in mah mode, not.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: A London aspiring. That's kind of uninspiring, right?
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Inspiring is fair? Yeah? I have given some grace due
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: to the injuries, and I don't think we've seen their
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: full potential yet.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: So that's why i'd.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Go mess Listen, the injuries are part of it, sure
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: everyone has them, but yeah, it's it's it's been weird.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I think that I'd be almost go disappointing, I think.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: But here's why, because because of how bad the American
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: League is, they could have really put some distance between
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: themselves and the rest of the division. They could have
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: put some distance between themselves and the top team in
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the Central the Cleveland Guardians, who they're going to battle
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: with more than likely for that number two seed in
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, unless maybe the Yankees come back, who knows,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: or the race continue to cool off. But my disappointment
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: is that, like, you've had an opportunity to take advantage
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: of the situation and you have not, and that that's
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: what's disappointing. Like, that's what's kind of disappointing for me.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of the word I would use. Again,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: it's such a crazy sport. They could I don't want
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: to even say hit a switch. The way they're built.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: This is a team that you if I'm sitting in
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: New York, Tampa, let's see who else. Toronto is a
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: wildcard team, right now Cleveland, whomever. If I'm sitting in
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: those cities Tampa, Bay, Chicago, and Toronto, or you're through
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: wildcard teams Cleveland and New York the other playoff teams.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: As it stands right now, somehow the A's are won
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: half a game back of a wildcard spot, the Twins,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the Rangers both within the game, Baltimore, Houston within two
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: games of wildcard spot. If I'm any of those teams
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I just mentioned, I don't think, despite what we're saying,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: with this team, I don't think there's any chance I'd
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: want to see Seattle in a playoff series because they
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna be no piggybacking less well, I guess there
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: would be a piggyback, because maybe you could do that
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: with a guy or two. But here's the thing. You're
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: gonna put three absolute hammers out there in a series
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: rotation gil probably Gilbert wu right now, maybe Miller, Like
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty daunting task for another team, Like like,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty like last year Detroit had Scooball in Seattle,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: like but that after that it was there's a drop off.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: There's no drop off here. You wouldn't want to see
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: these guys. But like, let's let's get going, Let's let's
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: kind of let's let's stop messing around. Let's play with
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: a sense of urgency Josh Naylor. Let's play with some passion.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Everybody except for and I say passion. Juo plays with it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Cole Emerson plays with it, Cole Young plays with it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Hell Dom Canzone plays with it. But there's just kind
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: of this, eh anyway, four? All right, Uh, let's do
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I want to make Jenny music every cool music up,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: some fun upbeat music, music music find out perfect. I
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: love it all right. So on Thursday, our contest through
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Rich's Home, We're giving away a grill slash smoker. It's
• 35:14

• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the end, Jessman through the mall and the muddle, there
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: a little generator thing I did.

• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Parrish spelled correctly.
• 36:03

  Speaker 3: He definitely will put it to good use. And we
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: traded off the hutch thing and I was like, oh,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: spelled just like the poison Bill guy.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I love it, Yes, love it.
• 36:29

• 39:45
  Speaker 2: to wait just a second. All right, You're gonna have
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to wait just a heartbeat. I'm stepping away standing back
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: hawk and lube is on a former NHL I believe
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: defenceman and that is a real name. That is a
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: real name.
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: Get there.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: He was a really good player Calgary, right, Calgary, I
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: believe for what?
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he had a fifty season.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Chris Crawford, your thoughts aw what happened over the weekend
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: with the Seattle crack quickly I am.
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: I am very intrigued by what happened, and I'm very
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: intrigued more so after the announcement of the trade right afterwards.
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: That basically became a three team deal, I suppose. But yeah, yeah,
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: you know, I think they got better. I'm ready for
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: that top six guy, I'm ready for that to happen.
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: But I do think they made themselves better for twenty
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: six seven.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon is was a must was an absolute, flat
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: out must.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: And especially in this terrible free agent market, like you
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: just weren't going to get a better player. I think
• 40:43
  Speaker 9: through free agency without overpaying Alex chug and maybe they
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: get Alex Chuoche as well, but it's hard to see
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: that happen.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Samuskevitch is a guy that I think is a top
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: six guy. They think he is. It's just he was.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: He was going to get pushed down in Florida with
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: your all that star power. All right, let's get to it.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Three and three week. Here's the good news. They avoided
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: getting swept by the Boston Red Sox. Here's the bad news.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: They lost a series of the Boston Red Sox. They
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: don't score any runs right now.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: Some more.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: The hamstring seems to be a thing for this team.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Everyone who doesn't have a hamstring issue. The latest is
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: dom cam Zone. But Logan Gilbert was great yesterday. There's
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of different topics we're going to tackle today,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I think, including you know, big Dumper. His return and
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the outside of the behind the plate been fantastic. The
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: results there for catcher or for pitchers when he's caught
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: have been good. But outside of that it has not
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: been good offensively, so there's a lot to discuss, but
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: as always, we open things up for some initial thoughts
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: after that three and three week, Nathan Bishop, fire away.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Man, you guys could have talked about the crack in
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: this entire time and it would have been more interesting
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: than what the Meritis just did for the past week,
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: because I'm looking at this and this team didn't score
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: more than three runs all week. They went three and three.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: I think with the day off today, I know it's
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: not officially the halfway point, but I think we can
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: call it spiritually the halfway point. It's like a rounding
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: error to the official halfway point of the season. And
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: I just am stuck thinking what a waste of a
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: first half of the season this has been. It's been uninteresting,
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: it's been uninspired, it's been kind of boring. This team
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: has had so much runway given to them by their
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: division and by their league to seize it and to
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: make it into something that they've we haven't experienced. We
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: have finally experienced a division title, but we haven't seen
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: a team spend a first half stretching itself out and
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: asserting itself as a dominant force in the league, as
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: opposed to just waiting around till after the trade deadline
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: and then going on some seventeen out of eighteen or
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: fourteen game win streak in order to get to ninety
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: wins or eighty eight wins or eighty seven or whatever
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: it is. And it just feels like, what was this all?
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: What has happened for the last three months, What have
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: we learned, Who's gotten better? What storyline has developed? And
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: it just feels like the season hasn't even really started yet,
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: and it just feels un resting and uninspiring to watch.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: And I'm just finding myself really frustrated with watching this
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: team play on a day in and day out basis.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: There are obviously some real highlights right now. Don Canzone
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: has been one of the best hitters on this team,
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: and I'm glad that he's okay, because they really need
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: that guy. I think the thing, if we're gonna draw
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: a positive from this past week and then I'll let
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: Chris do his thing, a guy to watch is Logan Gilbert.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: Logan Gilbert is why this team won three and three
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: this past week as opposed to two and four one
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: and five, because he had two starts, he threw thirteen
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: and a third He allowed five hits, two runs, eighteen
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: strikeouts and three walks. He shoved like an ace, and
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: an ace doesn't just pitch great. An ace pitch is
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: great when the team needs you to pitch great, and
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: the Mariners needed Logan Gilbert to pitch great this week,
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: and he did so. If this team is going to
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: be interesting, if they're going to be fun, not just
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: winning a division at eighty two wins or whatever the
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: you know, the twenty ten Seahawks thing, if they're gonna
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: be fun and interesting, I keep thinking that it's going
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: to be because this rotation and rabs the season by
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: the short ones and wills this team to greatness, because
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: I don't think there's any other part of this roster
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: that's going to do it.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Hockeyly.
• 44:10
  Speaker 9: So so much of what I do for work is
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: based on eye test, and you know, I certainly use numbers.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: I go to Baseball Savante every day.
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: I have to incorporate them in my Rota World blurbs,
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: and you know they're important. But it's not just that
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: the Mariners have been so decidedly average over these first
• 44:35
  Speaker 9: seventy nine games. It's that they look so decidedly average
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: to me. And there are a few flashes here and
• 44:42
  Speaker 9: there where you say, okay, here's the proof of concept,
• 44:45
  Speaker 9: and most of those flashes, to be honest, they're during
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: the eight game winning streak. If you take away that
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: eight game winning streak and you can't do that, it'd
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: be like saying, well, if Shaq was six foot five,
• 44:55
  Speaker 9: you wouldn't be that great of a player. Well, guess what.
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: Shaq wasn't six foot five. And the Mariners have an
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: eight game winning streak and it is something that has
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: saved their bacon to begin this year. But they just
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: looked so average. I'm glad Nathan brought up Logan Gilbert
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: because he didn't look average. And Bryce Wu had a
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: terrific start. I knew I was gonna call him Bryce W.
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: Brian Wu had a terrific start, and Brian Miller out
• 45:21
  Speaker 9: there's the other.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: Part of that, also had a very good start. But
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: they just looked so average.
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: And people keep talking to me about, well, Chris, this
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: is where they were last year, and I two things
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: to that. Number one was last year good enough, No,
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: it was not. Number two. They had to make two
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: of the biggest trades in their franchise history to reach
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: what they were going to do. Can they do that again?
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: Are they willing to do that again?
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: So I'm really I'm encouraged by it, just the fact
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: that the American League is such a disaster. But if
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: you watch this baseball team play, it's really hard to
• 46:03
  Speaker 9: be encouraged by what you've seen over the first half
• 46:05
  Speaker 9: of this season.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's Chris Crawford Nathan Bisht Monday brought to
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: you by Simply Shadow, Simply Schandel dot com, Alli WAT
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: fifteen to check out. Let me let me throw this
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: at you, Chris, and then Nathan jump in after there.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Have you know, all the storylines this season? First of all,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: there's been no shortage of storylines. Yeah, you know, I
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: mean there really hasn't been. And but I mean it
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: comes back to the one thing that Nathan mentioned, and
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: it's mediocrity, you know, for and they're lucky because the
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: rest of the division isn't very although you know, I
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: think you got to start wondering. Houston's starting to creep up,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: and you know, and they're if they get healthier, they're
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: starting to creep up, and Texas isn't going That's the thing.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: None of those teams have gone away, so your margin
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: of error isn't as great as it should. Your margin
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: er could be huge, you could have huge equity built
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: up if you play maybe you know better or who
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: you are, but that hasn't happened. I'm gonna throw this
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: at you. It's just Chris the whole giggy you know
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: what it feels like. It feels like that's been just
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: a great distraction to bigger issues with this team. Like
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: we're all gonna talk about piggyback, piggyback, piggyback, piggyback, and
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: yet what Nathan brought up they scored three runs this
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: week per game, and like that's that's what they did.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: So we're all focusing in on one thing that really
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: is what it is. It's got a six man rotation
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: at some point that's going to probably filter itself out.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: I feel like the piggyback is like it's just an
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: incredible pr move on someone's part. Maybe it's certainly unintentional.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Say it's like, hey, look a squirrel and you're not
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: looking at the bar in front of you instead.
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, DRIs, it's a really good
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: point and it has really distracted from because it's all
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: anyone wants to talk to me about is how right
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: piggyback is the only thing going on. And you know,
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: if that, if that wasn't that's a genius pr move.
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: If they're doing that.
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: It's also distracted from the fact that they have a
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: guy in double A with a one point h two
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: era who.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: Was the third pick of last year's draft.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: He's still good down there.
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: He just checked pretty good.
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, okay, I believe a ninety to eight strikeout
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: to Walker issue to go with it.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Bryan Sloan's online too, by the.
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: Way, and Ryan Sloan is just taking out as well.
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: It's it's a crazy embarrassment of riches. But also, like
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: the piggyback did hurt you last week, It did hurt
• 48:22
  Speaker 9: you because Bryan Bryce Miller was pitching so damn well
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: and Luis Castillo just didn't have it and ultimately you
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: lose because you only score one run like that. You
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: can't you can't completely blame it. But he kept you
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: in the game a lot more and he was just
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: a better guy. I gotta be honest, if they're going
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: to do this piggyback thing, the guy who probably needs
• 48:44
  Speaker 9: to be piggybacked right now is Emerson Hancock because these
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: last couple of starts have been pretty ugly and a
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: reminder of what the biggest issue with Hancock is because
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: he has such a low arm slot. If you load
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: up on left handed pitcher hitters, they're going to pick
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: the baseball up, especially the second or third time through
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: the order. I mean, the piggyback is not what caused
• 49:06
  Speaker 9: this team to be so average, but I will admit
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: this is the first time since the very first time
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: that they did it where it actually did hurt them,
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: and I just think a six man rotation makes a
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: hell of a lot more sense right now.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, we don't need to belabor the piggyback, but
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: I think that there is something that the average baseball fan,
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: if they're around Chris's and I's age or older, who
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: grew up with the idea of a great starting pitcher
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: being a guy who goes eight plus innings and gives
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: the bullpen a day off here and there with a
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: complete game. There's something quintessentially twenty twenty six baseball and
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: very Jerry Depoto era Seattle Mariners about pulling in your
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: most effective starting pitcher after sixty six pitches, when he
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: is absolutely tearing the opposition apart, looking you straight in
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: the face and telling you that this is good and
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: smart and correct to do actually and basically daring you
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: to say to disagree. And then the guy comes in
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: and obviously Kistio didn't have his best stuff. He got
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: babbaged a little bit and gave up some runs to
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: your pointing, and they only scored one run, which is
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: the problem with this team. They're hurt offensively, they're underachieving offensively,
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: they're not hit scoring runs. But there is something about
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: the piggyback that Chris kind of alluded to it at
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: the end of the show last week. There's so much
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: of what the Mariners do that basically projects an aura
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: of we're smarter than the room and you're just gonna
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: have to deal with it because this is how we're
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: going to do it and it's better and if you
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: don't get it, you're the problem. And that's look, I'm
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: not trying to bring it back to this. That is
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: a residual effect of the philosophy and ideology that gets
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: you the fifty four percent press conference. This team, the
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: people in charge of it. Believe very strongly that they
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: are smarter not only than fans, but then most front offenses.
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: And you're just going to have to make your peace
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: with the fact that they're going to do stuff that
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: doesn't seem to make sense when they pull Bryce Miller
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: after sixty six pitches, Chris.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Let me go back to the just the press conference
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: that Justin Hollander had. You know, it's all it's unanimous
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: and all this other stuff. Let's cut through all that
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: stuff for a second and go back and for again.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: We talked about it with Rotal World and what you
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: do for this isn't your full time job. We should
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: point out that both Nathan and Chris actually have real jobs.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: This isn't what they do full time. Although when I
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: do get people busted my chops on the weekend, are
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: they on Monday? Yes, they are right here in the flesh,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: But this is minor league in prospects. Is what you do.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: That's what you do. So what do We're gonna keep
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: bringing this up until it gets fixed with Sloan and
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: with Anderson, Like, what do you do with those two
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: plus six guys? Maybe it's only five. Maybe Hancock does
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: need to take a step back. I don't know what
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: is the solution. Is it just going to a six
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: rotation of keeping those guys in double A. It just
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: feels like such a waste. With Anderson, I don't mind it.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: With Sloan, He's a.
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: Twenty year old who has had some really good starts lately.
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: But has had some scuffles as well. I don't think
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: Ryan Sloan is necessarily ready to be a starting pitcher.
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: He could really help your bullpen if you were willing
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: to say, all right, we've gotten enough development from Ryan
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: Sloane this year, Let's bring him up in August and
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: have him be a multi inning guy. Kate Anderson's different.
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: Kate Anderson's ready to go. I mean, I had a
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: couple of people text me and I said that we
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: were talking about him and I mentioned Cliff Lee and
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: they're like, yeah, that's Cliff Lee.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: That is the Cliff Lee profile. Okay, And that's a huge.
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: Compliment and a lot of pressure for a guy, but
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: it is. He's so ready to roll. And so his
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: career high in innings is one hundred and nineteen, so
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: you probably don't want to push him more than one
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: thirty one forty in his first professional season and crush
• 53:05
  Speaker 9: his career high. But you just look at the stuff
• 53:08
  Speaker 9: and the command and everybody I talk to, and the
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: highlights I watch and the limited chances I get to
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: watch on like YouTube and all of that good stuff,
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: and you just think that guy's ready for MLB action.
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: And I think he's better than Emerson Hancock. I think
• 53:24
  Speaker 9: he's better than Luis Castillo right now. Now, the Mariners
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: they're gonna do what they gotta do, and the fact
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: that Luis Castillo makes so much money means that he's
• 53:33
  Speaker 9: a lock to stick in this rotation. But so I
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: think what ultimately ends up happening is Kate Anderson will
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: end up playing the David Price role, the role where
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: he came up for Tampa Bay and became a big
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: part of their bullpen, and then he'll be ready to
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: join that rotation at some point in twenty twenty seven.
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: But boy, I'd be just tempted to make him part
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: of the rotation right now. The Mariners won't do that.
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: I'm just telling you right now, that will not. But
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: I feel like it's a waste to have him in
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: double A right now. It just it's taking I'm willing
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: to take that step forward, to take a small step
• 54:10
  Speaker 9: back because of how good Kate Anderson is and knowing
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: that he's going to be at worst a mid rotation starter.
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: I've never been so confident with the prospect in my life.
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: It's a really tough situation. But ultimately, what I would
• 54:25
  Speaker 9: do is make him a starting pitcher. What the Mariners
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: are going to do is they're going to have him
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: join that bullpen.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: I think at some point in late August early September.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to steal words out of Nathan's mouth and
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to put him back in Nathan's mouth because
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I think Chris tell me, if you've heard him say
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: this before, are they serious about winning?
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Nathan? When I hear Chris going through that, a guy
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: who's whose eyes and and and I think we all
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: agree we trust him when he's saying these things, and
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: in terms of the prospects, that's why that's why he
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: is Chris Crawford. Is it?
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: Then?
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I asked myself, well, if he's your best option, one
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: of your best options, yeah, Nathan, are they serious about winning? Man?
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: It'd be such a different if we hadn't spent the
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: first half of this segment, just bemoaning the utter mediocrity
• 55:08
  Speaker 6: of this team. If they had seized this first half
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: season and they're running an eight and eight or nine
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: game lead in the division, like they should, they should
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: be eight or nine games clear in this division this year.
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: I'd give them all the rope they want to do
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: to figure out this Kate Anderson information situation because they'll
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: have the ability to do that.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: They can.
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: They don't have to be perfect between now and the
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: end of the season in order to get to.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Where they want to be.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: But they're forty and thirty nine, guys, they're a game
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: and a half clear of the division. Any loss, I
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: think if they lose the game on tomorrow at Pittsburgh,
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: that could be the one that keeps them out of
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: the playoffs or keeps him from winning the division, because
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: it's that the margin for error is that narrow, and
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: when you've done that, when you've just farted away half
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: a season because you're just, you know, just the most
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: mediocre team that's ever been media over the midst bunch
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: of mids that ever admitted, to paraphrase The Simpsons, then
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: you don't get to do this. You don't get to
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: stock pile of your guys that are major league ready
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: in the minor leagues, you don't get to do anything
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: but fully optimize your major league roster in the here
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: and now, today, tomorrow, every day for the rest of
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: the season to win as many possible baseball games as
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: you can in twenty twenty six because it's gonna matter,
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: because you made it matter by squandering this incredible opportunity
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: you've had for the past three months. So I totally
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: agree with Chris. They're not going to do it. But
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: I'm as a fan, I don't have to say I
• 56:32
  Speaker 6: understand it, because even though the logic from a front
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: office or ownership perspective makes sense, that's not my perspective.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: I don't care what is best for the Seattle Mariners
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: organization in two thousand and thirty one or whatever the
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: hell it is that they're thinking about when they do
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: this calculus. I have a really good friend named Chris
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: who demands the World Series this year, and the best
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: way to do that is to call up Kate Anderson
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: today and make him a Seattle Mariner.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Let me, let me, let me just wrap up this
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: saing with this, Chris, go back to you. We know
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: he's not going in the rotation. You're right, there's like
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: there's just no chance. But if you're sitting in the
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: room and it's it's the Poto, it's Hollander, and it's
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: whoever else is sitting in there, I don't know's any
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: McKay still there. I think he's in Minnesota now, right.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: But but like you're sitting in that room with those
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: guys and go around the horn knowing that rotation is
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: off the table, what do you say? What do you say?
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Do you do?
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: I just think that you know, if you can get
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: him fifteen or so starts and you're put him in
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: at like one fifteen, one to twenty innings.
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: It's probably less than that.
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: Actually, if you're talking about ultimately, you got to make
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: him a part of your pitching staff for the postseason,
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: like he needs to be one of those guys, or
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: at the very least, you need to give him that
• 57:51
  Speaker 9: chance to show he can help your postseason pitching staff,
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: Like give him that chance to be that David Price
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: guys for those who are too young to remember, were
• 58:00
  Speaker 9: too old to remember, or just not in between, David
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: Price was a huge part of Tampa Bay. Like he
• 58:05
  Speaker 9: came up, he made his debut and was a shutdown
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: bullpen guy for them for the postseason. That can be
• 58:12
  Speaker 9: a big thing, especially with the fact that the Mariners
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: are dealing with so many injuries to their bullpen and
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: some inconsistent results. I think Kate Anderson can make them better.
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: I believe that was two thousand and eight when David
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: Price got caught up.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Is that correct, Chris?
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, two thousand and eight. Yep.
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: Where where did the Rays go in two thousand and eight?
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: Where they end up in the post?
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: Heedson in the World Series?
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: It was oh interesting?
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Okay? Cool? Thanks noted. I missed rehearsal today. I didn't
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: know there was a rehearsal that you guys did. But
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: that was well done and that was well placed. Yeah,
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't done. I've been a rehearsal in a while.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, enough of that, we'll take a break.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: We'll come back. I want to hit on two guys
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: when we come back. Dumper one, Chris is weren in
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: the hat. Two I want to hit on Josh Naylor
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: and we'll I'll tell you why when we come back.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: My what Monday continues nine three point three KTERFM all right,
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: my what Monday brought to you by Simply Seattle, Simply
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Seattle dot com. Molliwap fifteen at check out, Simply Seattle,
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Simply Seattle dot com, and away we go. All right,
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: let me start first, Big Dumper, since he's come back, Chris,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: this is what he's doing, batting average one sixty seven,
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: on base three seventy five, and that's only good because
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: he's he's walked six times, slugging one sixty seven. Checks notes,
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't have an extra base hit ops five forty two
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: now four plate appearances eighteen official at bats against six
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: walks that since he's come back from his injury. Thoughts
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: on what we've seen so far from Big Dumper mixed
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: to best.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: I will point out that once again, for I believe
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 9: the one hundred and thirty eighth time the Mariners had
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: a home run robbery this season and Big Dumper was
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: the victim of that. I think the abats have looked good,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 9: like I think the approach has been solid.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Okay good.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: The timing just isn't quite there yet, and I think
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: it's gonna take a little bit of time for that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: timing to come back, especially for a guy who has
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 9: his first il stint.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 8: You can't.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: You can't just get that timing back playing an Everton
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: to come on, It's just not the way that it's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: going to go. I think he's looked fine behind the plates.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: I think he's looked okay at the plate. I expect more,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: but I do like that the approach has been so good,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: so I'm not too worried about it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Nathan. I think when I think about Dump, listen his numbers.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, Chris is more of a number.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: You guys are both more numbers guys than me. For
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: him to even hit two ten this year, I think
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: he'd have to just go on a massive role, right like,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: just to get him. I mean, it's just, it's so
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: the batting average is going to be an eye sore
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: all season. The power numbers aren't going to obviously not
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: even not come close to last year. They're going to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: just not be But he probably did two years ago.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: But sure, Nathan, I guess with me, I'll hold out
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: hope for Big Dumper that if this team finds its
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: sway and squeaks its way into the playoffs, that's all
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: that matters. Big Dumper in October is probably what we
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: should be looking forward to.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'll point out too that you know, I
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 6: don't We've been talking at nauseum that the idea of
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 6: cal being, even if he hadn't gotten hurt, anything close
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: to what he was in twenty twenty five was probably unrealistic.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: This was if he does get that batting average up
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: to I think you said two tenian. This guy was
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 6: one of the best major league catchers in the game.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: In twenty twenty four. He had a batting average of
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: two twenty. The way his skill set works, he doesn't
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 6: have to hit for a ton of average to be
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: a great hitter.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: What he needs to do is hit.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: Home runs like that's the thing offensively that makes him tick,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: and he's always done it in an extremely streaky fashion.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: So my instinct says that there's going to be a time,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: whether it starts tomorrow or whether it starts in late July,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: or best case scenarios, starts in October where this guy
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: drops something like seven home runs in ten games and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: boom his slugging his way back up into the mid foors.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 6: Everything starts to look a lot more like normal dumper.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: But you know, without it happening, at least to Chris's point,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: the abats look good and the defense is much better.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 6: I think it's not a coincidence that the Mariner's rotation
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: has looked pretty darn good since Dumper got back behind
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: the plate. But yeah, I just don't think that there's
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 6: any real hope that he's going to be that generational
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 6: offensive force like he was last year. We can best
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: hope for twenty twenty two through twenty twenty four Dumper,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: which is still a really good player.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Really good player, and again I want just to meet
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: Big Dumper. October is a big dump, right, Yeah, we
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: care about Chris. I saw this listen. I'm gonna give
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: these guys credit. I don't know who they are or
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: who he is, but Mariner's muse, he's a it's a
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Twitter account, x account. But he put something out there
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: yesterday and it was weird because I was thinking. I
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: was thinking to myself, that's something I've thought of quietly
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: for a while, and I don't want to because I
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: love I love Josh Naylor. I love his competitiveness, I
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: love what he is and he's Canadian, so all those
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: things are great. But he says there's a lot of
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: people responsible for the Murners are at but I'd wager
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor is on the mount Rushmore truly has taken
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: his money and dogged it. Not a locked in player,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: and I think dogging it's a pretty harsh thing. But
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: to me, he's looked sloppy in the field and he's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: not gonna win a Gold Glove. I get that, and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: we know athletically he's challenged. We get that as well.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: But man, there's just something not there with Naylor that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: we saw the second half of last season, hitting but fielding.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Just I don't know what it is. Maybe maybe this
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: guy Marriner's muse and me are wrong. You tell me
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong, Chris. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I got
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: no wrong with that.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: I don't think you're wrong. I will say dogging it,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 9: I think seems too strong. What I will say is
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 9: that the level of play they've gotten from Josh Naylor
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: is inacceptable. Like, Josh Naylor was brought in to be
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: a stabling force in the middle of your lineup and
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: to play competent defense at first base, and he's done neither.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 9: He hasn't done either, and it's I've brought this up
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: on my WI a few times that you know, I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: just haven't had fun watching him play baseball, which is
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 9: so disappointing because he was so fun to watch last year.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: And that's it.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it right there, that's it.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: Yes, it just has been an unpleasant experience to watch
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 9: Josh Naylor. And it sucks because I want Josh Nader
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: to succeed. I want all mallerners to succeed, but I
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: really want someone who has I think, done a really
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 9: good job of establishing himself in the community and making
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 9: himself a fan favorite and all of that stuff, and
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: that matters. It does matter, but it only matters so
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 9: much if you're a below average player, Like you can't
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: have a guy hitting in the middle of your order,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: playing less than average defense with a six seven to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: eight OPS. That just doesn't work. And Josh Naylor has
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: been too good of player over his career for me
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 9: to just say, well, here it goes. But I will
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 9: say this, and I brought this up after they made
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 9: the trade, and I brought this up after they made
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: the signing. When Josh Naylor's skill set starts to deteriorate,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 9: it's going to deteriorate hard. So I will say I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: do have long term concerns with Josh Naylor, and I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 9: have short term concerns with Josh Naylor, because like, look
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: at the numbers and look at the overall production, and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 9: there are just some abats that just frustrate the hell
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: out of you, the amount of times this dude has
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 9: swung at the first pitch and ground into a double play.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 9: At least in my eyesight, it's the the old the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 9: limit does not exist quote from Mean Girls, which is
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: definitely a movie I knew I was gonna reference.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: Yes, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful, beautiful movie.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 9: I'm just not having fun watching Josh Naylor, and I
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: really hope that improves. I would back away from dogging
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: it and just say that the overall production from Josh
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 9: Naylor isn't at an acceptable level.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Well said Nathan, Let's send on something a little bit
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: more positive, serious about winning. I think we showed one
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: step last week when when they took the field on
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Tuesday right for the first of six games this week,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: and the third baseman was not cold Emerson, it was
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Jp Crawford and cold Emerson's your short stop. And I
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: think now the middle infield with Young and Emerson, I
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: think is set, and I think that's very much a positive.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: And I think that as big of a skeptic and
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: a critic as I've been a JP's game. I was
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: at that game on Wednesday, which is the one where
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: a dumper got robbed of the home run, which is
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: who knew that Tyler O'Neil could still get more than
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: six inches.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: Off the ground?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 6: But JP had a couple of plays at third and
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 6: looked really comfortable. The fact that that position is more
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 6: quick twitch, more reactive as opposed to have I mean
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 6: to really range in far in either direction was really good.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 6: I only had to see him make one throw to first,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 6: and it wasn't a great throw, but he looked pretty
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: comfortable over there. So full kudos to JP, not only
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: in looking pretty good over there, but being willing to
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 6: make that shift. I know a lot goes into that
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff for those guys, And yeah, I love
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 6: Cole Emerson. I'm a little concerned by where the bat's
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 6: trending right now, but as Chris and I have talked about,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 6: I don't think that that has any impact on the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 6: fact that his future is extremely bright and my gosh,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 6: watching him play shortstop is such a huge bomb to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 6: my soul after watching JP struggle out there most of
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 6: the first f and Cole Young just looks like the
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: guy that I mean. I don't know how accurate this
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 6: comp was. I would I always feel very self conscious
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 6: when I make minor league comps with Christopher in the
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 6: room because he just knows everybody and everything. But you know,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: young Adam Fraser is the kind of skill set that
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: I heard for Cole Young, and I think that that's
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 6: what you're seeing, not necessarily the guy who struggled in
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 6: sel about the guy that was an All star in
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 6: his San Diego and Pittsburgh years, and I think Cole
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: Young's the old guy in that room at twenty two
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 6: years old. So that's a really really cool thing for
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 6: the marriage to look forward to for the next at
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 6: least four or five six seasons, hopefully a lot longer.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, christt middle infield. We talked about a lot in
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: the offseason, right, we know what it is now going ahead, which.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: Is yeah, And you know, I have the same concerns
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 9: with what I've seen from Emerson as Nathan that there's
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: just a lot of swing and this right now, and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 9: I think he's selling out for power a little too much.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: But I think what he's done defensively to improve that
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: middle infield has been big. And Cole Young, by the way,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: I wanted to bring this up. All three runs scored
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 9: yesterday left on left. You had Domkin Zone hit a
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 9: home run, you had him driving a run with that
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 9: little fielder's choice, and then you had a double from
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 9: Young that scored a run as well, left on left,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 9: on left.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: Those guys got to be in the lineup against lefties, man.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: They have to.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 9: They cannot play Rob rep Schneider and Connor Joe right now.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 9: And I just want to apologize right now for all
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: the swears that I said on mile Y about Settner Joe.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah today it was I would go go back
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: to the Saturday people on YouTube Saturday mile Y. If
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: you want to be entertained with Chris it's it's it's good.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: I'll just leave it at that. I will leave it
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: at that. Nathan, where's a ticker out by the way
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: right now for the rest and we are coming down
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: to the wire, folks. I appreciate you asking you, and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: I meant to bring it up in the open. But
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Rob's through forty seven games, he has fourteen hits in
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: forty seven games as a Seattle Mariner. He needs eight
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: hits in his next two games, and if he does so,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: he will match twenty twenty three A J. Pollocks twenty
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: two hits in forty nine games before AJ was deafaide
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: after one hundred and twenty one played appearances. Rob also
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: needs six more plate appearances in order to match that
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: sample size for AJ. So we're all rooting for our guy.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: But to Chris's point, given the fact that Tom kin
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: Zone and Cole Young and other guys are are hitting
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: lefties on left and Rob is Rob's not doing that
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: or much of anything at this point, I think that
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: the tracker is going to end up retiring in infamy
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 6: and sadness, as opposed to Glorian triumph, which we were all.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Rooting for him.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: But eight hits and two games is a tough ask,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: even for Primechiro, So we'll see.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Chris, Chris, I'm thinking that when you're when you're on
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: a tracker and a ticker with AJ Pollock, I just
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: can't imagine it's a good thing. And somewhere Miles master
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: Bony's going and I'm the guy that got dfaid at least.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 9: And you know, it's a lot. Some of it has
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 9: to do with his track record, and some of it
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 9: has to do with that rest. He's making real money.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 9: He's making real money going in whatever is play. But
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 9: it's been really, really ugly.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 6: Can I just add one more thing, just sure off
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 6: of what Chris was saying. I feel like I do
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: a lot of stuff, and some of it's kind of
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: a bit where I kind of pick a guy that
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 6: I don't really like and I kind of just make
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 6: jokes about it and et cetera, et cetera. I need
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 6: to may a kulpa Domkin Zone, Like I just need
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: to do it on the air, Like this guy has
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: spent a calendar year hitting the ever loving hell out
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: of the baseball and I without him in the outfield
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 6: providing comic relief, all you have now is just a
• 1:11:08

  Speaker 2: making moves and getting busy disrupting Father's Day. Now, I'm

• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: say should point this out. It's kind of cool. Little
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: bit Logan Gilbert. We just talked about him on Molly
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Watt Monday, brought to you by Simply Seattle Simply Seattle
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: dot com. He is the American League Player of the
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: Week for last week. Second Player of the Week honor
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: for Gilbert, who also won it back in twenty twenty three,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: first Mariner's pitcher to win the award since he was
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: last named that think about that for a second. As
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: great as that starting rotation is, no Mariner pitcher has
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: won the Player of the Week in the American League
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: since Gilbert won it last in twenty twenty three. Just
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: for reference, this year is twenty twenty six.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: Oh it is, it is.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I love Logan and he is one of the
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: kindest people in that clubhouse too.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: And he was always softy in fan last week, right.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: I believe he was. I believe he was.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and he always says yes the interviews, which is,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: you know, from our point of view, yeah, you we'd
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: like him, except he was so humbled the ver I
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: interviewed him after they announced him when he got drafted,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: and he was humbled. You want to talk to me.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: He hit one hundred yesterday on the on the jugs
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: gun too miles an hour, so he was had cranked
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: up on his first father's days, first child was born,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: by the way, Uh yeah, cal Rally last year was
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: named Player of the Week once, I do believe, and
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: then Gilbert as a pitcher to three years ago now,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: so he was good. Uh, he was. He was good
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: over the course of the week. We just talked about
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: his numbers. The fact is he was he was the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: reason they're three and three and not one in five.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: So reason Yeah, good, good for Logan Gilbert. Kind of
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: I feel like we say this a lot. He's turned
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: in the staff ace. But I think we've said that
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: about him. We said that about Wu Miller's Miller kind
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: of fits in there. Yeah, Miller fits into that category
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: as well. Yes, but it's good for him, so he is.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: He's American leaue play of the league. All right, we
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: set this up earlier. We got a lot of good text.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: I know you got a couple of talkbacks already as well.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: When we'll get to that coming up here at two thirty.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: But I asked the question. You heard it in Molliwop
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: in the first Mollywap segment a moment ago. The question
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: that we asked. I asked Nathan Bishop said, so far
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: this Mariner seasons, we reached ahead midway point halfway through.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: He called it uninspiring, uninteresting. How would you define it?
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Four nine four five one That is the Tacoma Dodge
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: text line four nine four to five to one. That
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: is the Tacoma Dodge text line. Also, talkbacks are welcome.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: All you have to do is go the iHeartRadio app
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: the app and click on the red microphone and speak
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: for thirty seconds. So we've got a couple in already,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: which we'll get to in a second. By the way,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: France Setegal getting ready to kick it off here in
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: just a couple of seconds there in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, so
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: we'll keep you updated on that game as well. France
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: probably still the favorite right in the World Cup. So
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: one eye on that as we get ready for the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: two o'clock hour daily power Play, your attack, your your
• 1:16:07

• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: one win over Boston don Canzone Homer Gilbert was great.
• 1:16:58

• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: Men's World Cup history. He had two goals, now has

• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: has scored five goals in their two matches so far
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: in the World Cup. Lionel Messi has all of them.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: We're all five. He's pretty good. Lots coming up in
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: this hour. He's all right, lots coming up this hour.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: Let's I didn't get to it, Befour's I have a
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: little sound out, want to play and we are what
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say. We were short in the last segment.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: So let's do a quick little daily power play here,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: gonna crack a good house present got star.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: This is the daily power play on your home for
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: the Kracking Sports Radio ninety three point three.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: K j R f M.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: The daily power play is brought to you vice KWAHA.

  Speaker 1: The log just inventory of Kamoda equipment in Kane County.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Now your daily look at the National Hockey League and
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Kraken with the Infernets.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: It was a busy Sunday on Father's Day for the
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: Seattle Cracking. We'll get to both the transactions. First of all,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: they pick up a player from the Florida Panthers. Pretty
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: hefty return going Florida's way. Crack and pick up Mackie
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: Samiskevitch from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a twenty
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: twenty six first round pick, which is coming up this
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: week by the way on Friday. That's the twenty fifth
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: overall pick. Krack can still have number seven overall pick.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: They have two, they only have one now. Also a
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven conditional second round pick for this player.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: He's only twenty three years old. He had thirty two
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: points in seventy seven games last season, ranked about twentieth
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: in the team in ice time and shifts per game.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: In other words, didn't play a lot for a loaded
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Florida team, even though they were banged up. Finished the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: season with a little three game points streak though, when
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: they were pretty much out of it and they were
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: down numbers and he actually got a chance to actually
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: play a few more minutes. Speedy guy played with Matty
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Beneers at Michigan in college. Most people seem to like
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: the move. We'll get to that in just a second.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe not on one that moves the needle for many fans,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: but does help them. And there's an upside to this
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: young player too, like a pretty good upside, so good
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: in that regard. The other thing they did they signed
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: re signed Bobby McMahon, their own top free agent, to
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: a contract extension six years. That's huge. We talked to
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: Jason Bottroll about that last Thursday we were out at
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: Cracking Community ice Plex. That was a priority going into
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: the offseason. The big priority was making sure he did
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: not get to free agency on July first, because frankly,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: if he did, it would have been harder to hold
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: on to him. Probably Instead, I think he took a
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: little less money to stay in a place and he
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: obviously liked more on that in just a second. Jeff
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Merrick is a noted, noted, I should say not just
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: noted hockey journalist and does a daily show. Jeff is
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: one of the things that Jeff they call it the
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: sheet daily face off. He does that every day. And
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: he had some thoughts today and what the Kraken have done.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: And I think they're rather interesting because a lot of
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: fans still kind of have a little stress in consternation,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: and rightfully so I understand, here's Jeff American the Krakens moves.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 10: But what I do like about it is I've looked
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 10: at Seattle to say, this is a team that is
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 10: built based on singles. Just hitting to get on base,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 10: Just hit a bunch of singles, right like that. Going
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 10: back Tolwood, roynand Fancis put this whole thing together. They
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 10: were just quite content to hit singles. And it's a
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 10: team that looks like the motto of the team was,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 10: let's just hit singles. Now. We don't know about Matthew
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 10: Simus Kevitch here. We don't know how good this guy
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 10: can be. There's still a question mark there. You know,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 10: fifteen goals here is seventeen goals. We still don't know
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 10: because he's been playing behind guys. That's why I like it,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 10: because it's not a swing for the fence, but it's
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 10: one of those we believe that there's more there as
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 10: opposed touggest making things really safe. Like it's interesting listening
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 10: to your rundown the names of the players on the
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 10: Seattle Kraken when you just are at back to hit singles.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 10: He gets line up like this, and a line up
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 10: like this sees everybody playing one slot higher than they should, right,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 10: Like if Matty Vaniers was your second line center, be
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 10: a better team. Jordan Everley down a little bit lower
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 10: in the lineup, Bobby McMahon, Capo CaCO Shane right, all
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 10: if they were just down one slot like Adam Larson
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 10: on your second pair. Ooh, that's really good, vince Don
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 10: on your second, that's really good. But they have to
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 10: play one level up because they don't have anyone else.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 10: They don't to your point, they don't have like those
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 10: home run swings and those guys that are like legit first,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 10: like you get your first line set and your first
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: pairing d sets, all of a sudden, everything just settles.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 10: Right now. Everybody's playing one level up. They're one level
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 10: higher than they should be playing. And that's what we're
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: seeing out of Seattle, and that's why they're both a
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 10: frustrating and at times pretty boring team to watch. That's
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 10: why I like this move because there is untapped potential here.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 10: We don't know how much, but at least first indication
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 10: that Seattle is going to do something different than just
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 10: trying to hit to get on base, no more singles.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 10: That's why even I think about, you know, pick number seven,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 10: they make that pick, they trade that pick.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: I bet you I'm gonna say they make it.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 10: I think they do very but still, like I don't know,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 10: they need to start swinging. You know, they tried to
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 10: get our temmi prenaire. Okay, that's the swing bottleles in
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 10: there to swing here so I don't think that that
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 10: A will stop or B should stop for the Seattle Cracks.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 10: And I think that's the way they have to think
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 10: because everyone's playing too high in the lineup.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: So I think he said, Jeff Merrick that said there's fair.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's all fair.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: I like the analogy.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the baseball NASU the hitting for singles, and that's
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: what they do. It's a depth team. They don't have
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: the superstar. And and he's I think he's also right
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: in the sense sees there's guys playing more minutes or
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: or higher up on the first or second line that
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: maybe need to be down to the second or third line.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: I think all that is really fair. I also know
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: that it's impossible right now in this league, and it's
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: a bigger topic for and we'll get into this a lot.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: I think on Friday we have our draft coverage. Softy's
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: actually doing my show on Thursday or Friday from twelve
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: to three soft in Faint Art and then I'm doing
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: I'm with Benton. Mike Benton's going to be anchoring our
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: coverage with al Kiniski ever fits you and myself from
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: the thirty two Bar and Grill for the first round
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: of the NHL Draft on Friday, so we'll be there.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll get into this lot more for the
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: hockey diehards out there. On Friday, Brady Kachuk gets traded
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: today or yesterday from Ottawa to Florida to play with
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: his brother Matthew, the two you know, US Olympian gold medals,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: the Olympians of brothers. NHL players right now are more
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: and more forcing their way around where they want to go,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: forcing their trades. They all have trade protection, and so
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: it's really hard. You know, it's easy for Jeff Merrick
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: or anybody else to say, hey, go out and make
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: an impact, go sign somebody. Sure, great, but these guys
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: are all wanting to play in one of three places.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: And that's not just a slide on Seattle, but because
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: by all accounts, both the Saint Louis Blues and more importantly,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: the New York Rangers inquired about Brady Kuchuk, and he
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: did not want to go to either place, including New
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: York or Timmy Paneren wanted to only go to La
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: or stay in New York. His wife's big in the
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: fashion fashion industry. These guys, not everybody can play for
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Florida and Tampa Bay or Vegas. At some point you
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: got to go somewhere else. But that's the that's the
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: challenge to have the choice. But that's the That's the
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: challenge that Jason Bottrel and other gms around the league
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: have now is that by and large, there's thirty two
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: teams and there's about four teams that people want to
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: go play for because they win their warm weather climates.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I know people get upset when we bring
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: this up. The state income tax looming on the horizon
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: is a thing, if you can mean Snyder made John
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: Schneider talked about it. It's a thing. It was one
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: of those few advantages we had, but it's a thing.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: So whether you're for the static Kiptacks or against it,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: just know as a sports fan it hurts your teams
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: in this state and it will continue to hurt them.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: But bigger picture, they got better. Bobby McMahon real fast.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Before we move on to something else, I just that's
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: a big signing because I just told you everything's going
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: on right now with teams, these guys dictating where they
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: want to go and where they want to be. Seattle
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: is still kind of an unknown commodity. They haven't won consistently.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: That's a big part of it. But here's the good news.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: A guy that came here, was here for a short
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: period of time, at the end of the season, decided
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: he wants to stay here. And I do believe he
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: could have made a little bit more, not a ton,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: but he could have made it probably a little bit
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: more on the open market if he went out as
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: a free agent July first and said he says, no,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: I'm comfortable, I want to stay in Seattle. That's a really,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: really good sign if you're a cracking fan, because the
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: word can start getting out. Hey, these guys treat their
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: players great. The facilities are top shelf, the building is incredible,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: and it's loud, and the fan base is sensational. Those
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: things all matter. So that's a good that's a rip
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon signing. As much as it's a good hockey move,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: it's honestly a better sign of bigger picture things that
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: potentially could come down the road. They just have to
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: find a win, a way to win. Winning means everything
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: to all these players. It's kind of a chicken and
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: egg thing, though. How do you win if all the
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: good players want to go to one or two or
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: three or four teams? So will you go draft on Friday.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: We'll get more into that then, but I would just
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: say overall, very good deal. We're gonna get McMahon later
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: this week, so either tomorrow or Wednesday. I do believe,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: so say he's a good interview. We had him on
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: right the end of the season. I fun got to
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: talk to So that's coming up. And I do believe
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: audit stuff's coming soon too. I know people are all
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: fired up about audits. Get the audit. What's going on
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: the audit?
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: Who in their lives has ever been fired up about
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: an audit?
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: Cracking fans are oh and cracking fans and cracking Twitter.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: Cracking Twitter is all about the audit. We're all about
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: the audit. I don't, I just do know, but I will.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see that's coming in a couple of days. Okay,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna move on a couple of things. We're gonna
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: get to text pot ont of the Hour we asked
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: about the Mariners. Question, was you know what seventy nine
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: games in almost the midway point of the season. Nathan
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: Bishop and our Molliwap. Segman just said it's been uninteresting, uninspired.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: Chris basically agreed with him. How would you describe how
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: you're feeling about We just described the first half of
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: the season. We'll get to that four nine, four to
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: five one. Have some talkbacks as well. I'm watching right
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: now France and iracked. Still no score at thirteenth minute.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: They're in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: Oh did they grease up the polls for that one?
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: No, it is. I don't think so. I think we're okay,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: but I bringing this up. We brought this up in
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: the first Jess was Jess and Kelsey right from our
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: FM music station.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, from hits, Yes, hits?
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: Is that one O six?
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: Show one A six point one? Yep, she's on that station.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys went down. You were kind of
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: a street team, sort of old school radio. That's kind
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: of old school radio street team.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: Right, well, taking in the atmosphere. Yes, I guess I
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: was a street team.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that's for those who weren't there and just watched. Yeah,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: was it because I'm sure you you know, see the
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: news and watch highlights. Was it crazier the same or
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: how would you describe, like what I saw on TV
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: was one of the best atmospheres in Seattle I can
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: remember for anything ever, including Super Bowl and everything else.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable. And the thing that I would say, I said
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: this at the beginning of the show, is how wonderful
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: everyone was whether you were four. I mean, obviously the
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: majority of the USA fans were in the area we
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: were at, but even the Ausie is like, they were cool.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: Everybody was just having a good time and men in
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: blazers their pocket there. They did their live show there.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: And that's a big thing, right, And I'm not saying
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: that I'm not going to be that guy. That's a
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: big thing.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: It's a bigger thing that I even thought it was.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: It's the number one soccer podcast in the world.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: In the world, yes, and I guess that's a big deal. Yes,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: it is for the World's Game. I mean just yeah,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: World's Game. Okay, number one soccer podcast for a sport,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: that's number one in the world. That's probably big. That's right.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty big deal.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: And they were cool.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: And Marshan came and he was great. I got to
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: dap him up. He refused to go on the radio
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: but that's.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, wait what really he wouldn't come on
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: the radio. He wouldn't do really when do traditional.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: Radia so loves it.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, and there were just like, there were
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: so many people down there. I was down there at
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: seven fifteen in the morning and it was the sun
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: was I mean, the sun was obviously already up, but
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: it was coming over the buildings at.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 4: That point and got to just really hang out people.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: There's the Australian influence, the international influence, right if you
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: kind of in some way extrapolate that and just likes
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: US fans, locals, what have you, can you compare it
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: to anything like it? Is it? Like I mentioned earlier,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: Like I mentioned earlier, I thought, I thought kind of
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: a pinnacle for us as a sports town and city
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: was last October when the Seahawks played at one against
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then the Marriers had that
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: playoff game and Schooble started that night. Mariners won. Seahawks
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: were disappointed. That was like one of the few really
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: just kind of I mean, the defense was just a
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: dud that day, which you can count on like two
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: well three fingers Tampa and two games against the Rams.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: But when that happened, but that I thought that day
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: was like kind of in some ways, and this is
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: someone that's I mean, I'm sixty, like, I think that's
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: a kind of a pinnacle moment for us, that Soto area,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Occidental well like conor of Occidental and Royal Broamway was
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: I'd never seen that before. And because you had kind
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: of the two stadiums in one emptying one going in
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: at the same time, there was a lot of crossover fans.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: Some are trying to do both, not a time, probably
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: about maybe less than a third of the bag of
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: the fans going to the team mobile we're doing that.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: But that felt like to me, I'm like, god, this.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: I always hear about the great sports cities in America,
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm looking around saying that's us.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: We're one of those cities. We don't get credit for it,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: but we're one of those cities. That's why I ask,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: is there anything that would come to mind? Because we've
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: had NFC Championship games here. We've had three of them, no, wait,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: four of them. We've have one of them's zero five,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: and then the two thirteen to fourteen, and then last
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: year we had an NFC championship games, certainly all the
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: primetime NFL games we've had. Really, this is the first
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: year in forever that we had Last year, I guess
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five that we really had playoff games for
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: the Mariners, I mean two thousand and one, but that
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: was so long ago. So I mean we've had that
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: type of thing NBA Finals in ninety six, the rally
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: in the Alley, I'm sure I'll have softy about that.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: I was in. I wasn't here. I was heading the
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: Salt Lake at that point, but you know, like a
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: rally in the alley type of thing. This was kind
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: of felt like all of that all bundled into one.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: So when I did the crossover, because I went down
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: to Mariners as the as Lumen I mean Seattle Stadium
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: was letting out. Yeah it is Lumen Field, and I
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: got to see this amazing crossover of people and that's
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: when I got to see more Australians than in the morning,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: and a lot of them were going to the Mariner game.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: That thing was packed, but it was just a party
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: and a very fun, jovial attitude. Every there was no anger.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: It was wonderful and it was packed, like pack packed.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: The oldest hot dog cards got eaten.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: But was there anything that you could compare? Nothing? Right,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just seemed.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: Different for sporting events.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: No, I was gonna say.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: The only other thing I saw that was like that
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: with the same mood was the first Super Bowl parade
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: in twenty four There you go, Okay, Yeah, so I
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: would compare the vibe to that, but that wasn't a
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: sporting A second super Bowl celebration.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: Second super Bowl praade didn't feel the same.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: No, it was different. The first one so great, But
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: the first one was the first one.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right, So you.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: Can't really compare. But I would say for what I
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: saw in the city, that's the only comparison.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: I felt like everyone wanted to be there. I checked
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: around today, so I talked to my buddy Brad. You
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: hear Softy doing ads all the time for twin Peaks
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: right down in Techwill. They're big. They're a big supporter,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: really big supporter, I think Brad of the bar Maple
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: Valley Golf tournament. They're they're back doing some stuff for
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: this year and big thanks to Brad. I went there
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: on Friday before the match, I got out of there
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: because it was like, I got a surprise.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: You drove it anywhere?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't. It was a golf meeting, so I
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: had to be there for that. So we we literally
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: met for like forty five minutes or forty minutes, and
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: I got the hell out there with a half hours.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: Bear got home in time to watch match because they
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: was starting and it filled up. So I asked him,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: I said, how was the world company? He says, unbelievable,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: Like one of the best lunches they've ever had. And
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: I could tell is getting packed. The Mexico match the
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: night before was he said, crazy off the hook. So
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: sports are good in that regard, but just locally, he said,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: that was good. I talked to the guys at the halls,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: Queen Anne, Occidental and obviously and Moss Bay. I mean
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: the Occidental beer hall set records all week.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: There's no way they didn't.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so they said it was great. I
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: mean everyone everyone that I've talked to, small business wise,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: it's in the area. It's helped him out. But that
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: just seemed a little different on Friday, and different in
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: a good way. I can't believe. I can't imagine I
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: can't wait. And you know it's funny. I think we're
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: all obviously we're rooting for the US. We want to
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: see the US do well. Just a quick note, Greg Beacham,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: who's the Associated press writer in LA, a good friend
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: of mine. He was saying today Christian Rodan did not
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: practice and he's got some sort of I don't know
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: if it's a groin or hamstring. He's got some sort
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: of muscle lower strain. No, it's muscle strain of some sort.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: It's one of the two. But uh, but he didn't
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: practice day, not expected to practice Smorrow. And that's unfortunate
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: because he was probably going to start on Thursday.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: And now it sounds like that might because they're going
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: to sit a bunch of guys with yellow cards. They
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: don't want to get have somebody miss around a six
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: or round a thirty two match. But as we're all
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: rooting here for this team, really rooting hard Friday, like,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: let's let's in the best soccer setting in the country.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: Let's have a win. Now. The stress is real, yea.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: Not so Thursday doesn't mean anything that that they've already
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: clinched the group Thursday means nothing. It's just a it's
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: a glorified you know, exhibition. But it's on the world.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Turkey's already out like whatever. That's why it's a bummer
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: with rolled down because and that was the only downside
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: on Friday is that they didn't put him in like
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: come on, like know your audience all that outside. The
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: stress is real. Now you got to get to the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: round of sixteen and come back to Seattle. That so
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: like now like those not Thursday, but the round of
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: thirty two match is going to be highly stressful, not
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: just because we want to see this team go as
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: deep as it can selfishly here in Seattle.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: We want you back.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: We want them back. Yes, we want to see We
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: want it because I'm I want to see how you
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: top Friday. How do you top that? I don't know, man,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: but they will if it's a round of sixty a
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: quarterfinal matchups that right, no round of sixteen quarter files
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: next round. I want to see how you top that
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: because I think they will. I don't know how, but
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: they will.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: It's the sweet sixteen four nine.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: Four to five one. We'll get your text coming up next.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: Also some talkbacks as well. Nine three point three KJFM.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your Home for the Huskies,

  Speaker 11: World Series or bust. Moving forward. When last season ended,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 11: that became it It's World Series or bust.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 5: Don't make the World Series the seasons of failure. Having
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 5: said that, so far this season it's it's been a disappointment.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 5: It's been a bummer pretty much.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 8: Agree with Ian and Nathan.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 12: The general uninspired, lackluster, lais their attitude slash play begs
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 12: the question what are these boys thinking about? It's obviously
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 12: not basible. Looks like everybody's got something else on their mind,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 12: waiting for the run to kick in. It's the man.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: I would first of all ask you to save the
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: first part of that. I agree with Nathan and Ian.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: Words like that nervous open on the air. Before I
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: agree with Ian and Nathan.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: I've got them love.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: From my point of view with the Mariners, it is
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 11: World Series or was moving forward? Last second that became
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 11: it It's World.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, you don't have to. It's okay.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 8: Hmm, pretty much agree with San and Nathan.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's all I need. Like, I just wanted to
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: confirm that was what was said out loud and on
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 8: I had a confirmation by us and uninspired question.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: We got that, we got yeah, we know. Okay, ah
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: four nine, four or five one. This is an interesting one.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to the talkbacks in a second. Two six.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: How I feel about the m season so far? Three
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: steps forward, two steps back. That's probably good way. I mean, yeah,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: they it sound like.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 4: They're that's actually moving forwards, just.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: By a little smidge, right, just a little smidge. Four
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: to five they have no heart two six underachieving.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: But that actually, even though it sounds negative, is a
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: positive attribute because they believe that they are capable of more.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: Uh yes, just gloss I I would I would say,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: so this is one that is interesting. From the three
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: to six. So, the Mannor's loss on Friday night before
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: a near capacity crowd was like a gut punch. They
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: had a chance to be press and capture attention of
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: fans around the world. The didn't even look competitive. Perhaps
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: time to resurrect the expression the swirling, sucking edio have
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: to spare that is Maritor's baseball.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, are we there?
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're there. They're still in first place. People,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: They're still in first place. They're still in first place.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: But I do understand the disappointment of you know, they
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: had all of the winds at their coming into that
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: game for let's see what else we got.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, he can't be serious. I think he's referring to
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: Nathan who wins the World Series in the first half. Ridiculous.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: All Caps, Yeah, yeah, seven nine do not score runs
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: unless it's via home run. That's a huge concern.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 3: That's not good baseball, and that's a fair criticism. But
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they only went on home runs.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: I need to find the stat I'm looking for a
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: stat standby okay, dand by just hang on, hang on.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: By your name.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: No, it's well, I have I have said stuff up
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: on screen today. Okay, Mariners, Oh, here we go, here
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: we go, here we go. H just how many home runs?
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: How many wins they have this season?
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: What are we seventy four? In there? They're just under
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: five hundred, aren't they.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: That's not the answer to hey, I say, okay, well,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: here's why I bring it up. I'll tell you how
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: many wins they have.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean I can do that.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: I need to get a mouse on my computer.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 3: Just f yi, oh are you using your fingerpen?
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's what it is. It's interesting. So they only
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: win when they when they hit home runs. He's actually right,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: Oh no, they have thirty nine wins. They thirty three.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: Thirty three times in those wins they've had a home run,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: So all but six wins they've had a home run in.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: But what about the losses? Did they home erin the losses?
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: They did? Right, hang on, twenty times they lost, They're
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: thirty three and twenty when they hit a home run.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: But that's the point, Like they they're very they're a
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: very home run dependent. They were. We had this conversation
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: last year about like being too dependent on the home run,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: which was fine when he had a guy hitting sixty one.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: I was wrong by the way they were. They were
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: one game under five hundred. I said, one game over,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: or they're one game.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: Over and listen. Our question, sorry, our question simply was
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: like what Nathan said. He said, they're uninteresting, uninspiring, how
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: would you do it?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: Andan middling is not inspiring.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: Four to five Ian ugly is what I would say.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: That's from Bulman and Lanta listening any iHeartRadio app Uh.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: Don't want to be negative. I just think there were
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: reflection of their leader. Blah. Just imagine young Lou Penela.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: Can you see? Unfortunately, for Dan Wilson and any other manager,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: until someone wins a world series, you're going to be
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: compared to Lou, and Lou was just we gotta understand.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: Lou is just different. He was unique, he was iconic.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: So I think comparing Dan Wilson to Lou is hard
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: to do. But it's actually, actually it's not hard. It's unfair.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's an unfair comparision. I think that's an
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: we're missing Gino surez as Dale. He's not having a
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: great year either, but all right, what's side?
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: You have?
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: Coup more talkbacks far.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 7: Away either Ian and Jessmine, Chris Anders betting much deserved
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 7: R and R.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: He's not R and R. He's working.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 7: I mean that questionable Canadian whiskey that I definitely drank
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 7: too much of at Wazoo. I would characterize the Mariner's
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 7: season as basically a wet fart, nothing to get too
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 7: concerned over, but definitely nothing to be excited about. We're
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 7: basically just glad it's not worse than it is.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we've got all the injuries out of the way.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 3: So that's the kind where you a wet part.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: Isn't that? I?
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think so, Yeah, I would put that.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 4: I would put it nothing to be too worried about.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: I would be I would put that in my category
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: of yeah. No, Well, I'll read two more before we
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: get to the final tech talkback two six mediocre, two five
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: three lackluster. We talked about Josh Naylor and the Mulliwop
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: segment three six. Oh Naylor went for me one of
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: my favorite players of my least favorite. He looks lack
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: of days ago doesn't care WHOA.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: I think that's a little unfair.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: That.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: But I do feel like I think if I think
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: maybe there is this factor coming in and that is
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: the following there's a human element involved. They're really good.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: Dinners are really good, like they should be if healthy
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: and going, They're pretty good. The American League is not.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: It just isn't like they're They're a very there is
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: They're a very good team, and I think you're just
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: there is a there's probably a lack of urgency and
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: it shows. Oh my god, it is, by the way,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: pouring in Philadelphia. Now they're standing the water on the
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: field of met Life where there's a game later. Stop
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: playing stuff and having tournaments and things on the East coast.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: Bring them all here, Bring them all here in July.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: It is miserable in Philadelphia. One nail still France.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: That said, he has earned misery.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: Want more for me?
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 13: Hey Ian Seattle sports guy here with a quick update
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 13: on your Seattle sports. The Seattle Mariners are going to

• 1:46:46
  Speaker 4: Jerry well sales sports guy. Almost today.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: I almost think that's Nathan calling in, but because he
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: named maybe he is he named off all the guys
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: on Nathan's ticker.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: That's either that or Seattle sports guy listens very carefully.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so good. All right, we're good,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: We're all done.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: We're done here, nothing more to do, nothing more to see.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 3: Except for the tornado that's about to Is he here?
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: He is actually physically here?

• 1:47:20
  Speaker 8: All right?
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: Softy's next? Or raady? Then he is here, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: All the rain has let up in beautiful Philadelphia. It's
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: only slightly dumping rain right now. And the hell it
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: is Philadelphia. Yeah, well, just play all the matches here?
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: Will you just play them all here?
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 14: That'd be cool, although I don't think we'd match the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 14: intensity that we saw on Friday.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: Man, that was I was just, what do we have
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: a match on Wednesday? Right between two? I was thinking
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: that earlier. Everything after Friday, right until let's get to
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: the round of sixteen and the Uros comes here, it
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: is going to be whatever.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 14: You're not excited for the Bosnia hurt Segovina Qatar match
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 14: on Wednesday?
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: I think the Egypt Iran or is it Iran game
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: that Friday, that's the one that's on Friday night, right, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: I might go to that game.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 14: By the way, just for Friday nights for giggles, Yeah,
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 14: I might well gaining price for that, uh four hundred bucks,
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 14: I think whatever, something like that. Bosnia hurts a Goovina
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 14: Qatar is like three fifty on Venue kings dot com.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: I will tell you this.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 14: We're gonna have Anthony bay Rudy on probably tomorrow or
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 14: Wednesday from Venue Kings because I think the struggle that
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 14: people are having right now, and when I might people,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 14: I mean like an elite sliver of society, the less
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 14: than one half of one exactly that can afford to
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 14: go to this game, all right. The struggle that people
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 14: are having is that the Round of sixteen game. Obviously,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 14: if the America is going to be in Seattle, right,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 14: you can buy tickets now to get in the door
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 14: for three thousand dollars.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: But if they get knocked out.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 14: But if they get knocked out, then you know, are
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 14: you're gonna pay three grand to go watch Italy versus.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: It's like if you bought a Columbia. It's like if
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: you bought a house, whatever the hell it's gonna be.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: So you bought a house in oh seven, right, and
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: then your your company transferred you had to move in
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: eight sure, and he just lost like two hundred, right.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 14: But for the other the other side is that if
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 14: the Americans make it, the number may skyrocket.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: What do you think it'll be? Five thousands? What is
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: he was he on today?
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: Likely tomorrow or Wednesday?
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: Like? What could he get to? You know, I don't
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: think it'll go much further than that.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 14: I think the market has its limits, right, I mean
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 14: the super Bowl get in places like three grand. When
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 14: it was all said and done on game days, those
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 14: numbers came down dramatic.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: What's the highest super Bowl? You can remember? This one?
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: This one? This one? Yeah, this one? Well that makes
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: sense because it's easy to get too, of course right
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: there and all that.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 14: You know, look, and if you're willing to wait until kickoff,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 14: you know, wait until you know five o'clock or whatever
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 14: time it is on that Monday night, then you might
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 14: get a deal.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure where your cell phones working down there,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: just on on Friday with five hundred thousand people, whatever
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: the hell it was down.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 3: Thereockingly, yes, I was able to call into Greg Bell
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: Show and was able to get on and post all
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 3: of the glorious things there.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: Because when softy cent is true, like yeah, wait till
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: the last second. But then there's also like another fifty
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: thousand people I think.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 14: Personally, and we're going to talk with Dick and Jackson
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 14: about this today, just being down there. If they make
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 14: that game on that Monday night is going to be
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 14: something else, like as far as the spectacle. And then
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 14: Jackson made a good point about this game that we
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 14: saw Friday that hey, look this game on Friday. People
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 14: have known this game is being played for months, right,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 14: so they planned to be here.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: Good point.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 14: Not as many people are planning to be here on
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 14: July sixth, because the game is in two weeks. Number one,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 14: number two, we don't even know if the Americans will
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 14: be there. You'll get a five day advanced notice after
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 14: they win the game on Wednesday.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: If they do win the game was judging from what
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: that secondary mark you're talking about. When they did win
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: on Friday and won the group, right, they knew they
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: were going to play if they team right, they like Skyrocks,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: like a lot of.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 14: People feel really good about it, right, they feel really
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 14: good about their odds, the chances. And Jackson will sorry
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 14: Waxon welts he's doing he's pretty good. Jackson's pissed off
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 14: that we don't use him on that segment, but you know,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 14: we thought Waxon.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: Was a better calla way better.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 14: We're gonna go a wax It at five forty five tonight,
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 14: you know, we'll lay out the plane, lay out the schedule,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 14: all that stuff. But I was gonna say, I thought
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 14: the star of the show, the story on Friday wasn't
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 14: even the game.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: It was the city. It was the pregame.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 14: It was you know, the north lot of lumen Field,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 14: it was the Fox TV said it was Rob Stone's
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 14: going to join us today, you know, sitting there saying, hey,
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 14: look we're not starting anything.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: Let this crowd be the crowd whatever.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 14: Clinton Dempsey's got to say, whatever, lawless, Carly Lloyd, you
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 14: guys can zip it because there's people behind us. That's
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 14: the story was great.
