2:35
Speaker 2: Mariners win last night by a final score of seven
2:38
Speaker 2: to one over the Minnesota Twins.
2:40
Speaker 4: That's more like it.
2:41
Speaker 2: Speaking of fun, Yeah, we're gonna have Mariner this morning
2:43
Speaker 2: after and get into some of the gritty details of
2:47
Speaker 2: the game at six thirty. And yet it's kind of
2:51
Speaker 2: hard not to discuss it.
2:53
Speaker 4: It seems to.
2:54
Speaker 2: Be the top story of the day to get back
2:56
Speaker 2: on the right track. And speaking of being on the
2:59
Speaker 2: right track, Julio Rodriguez and Josh Naylor have certainly heated
3:03
Speaker 2: up here as of late. Throw Randy a rose arena
3:06
Speaker 2: into the mix. Last night on a night in which
3:09
Speaker 2: two starting pitchers we knew were very good, and we
3:14
Speaker 2: knew it was going to be a battle for runs,
3:17
Speaker 2: and it was at one point one to nothing twins
3:21
Speaker 2: in the sixth inning, and you were wondering if we
3:24
Speaker 2: were ever going to get to Joe Ryan, and you
3:26
Speaker 2: kept staring at that pitch count and you're like, that's
3:28
Speaker 2: pretty low. I don't know, there's a chance we might
3:31
Speaker 2: not see anybody else tonight but Joe Ryan. So we
3:34
Speaker 2: better start figuring them out. And then to get to
3:37
Speaker 2: the end of the game, Ashley and to have won
3:40
Speaker 2: seven to one and see that Julio, Josh and Randy
3:44
Speaker 2: had eight hits in the game, six of them for
3:47
Speaker 2: extra base hits, scored four runs, and knocked in six
3:50
Speaker 2: runs last night.
3:52
Speaker 4: How did that happen?
3:53
Speaker 2: I mean it just like it's when the snowball started
3:57
Speaker 2: rolling down hill. It avalanched by the end of this game. Uh,
4:01
Speaker 2: and the Mariners end up with a feet on the
4:03
Speaker 2: desk kind of win here.
4:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
4:05
Speaker 5: When Julio had the double in the ninth and Aaron
4:08
Speaker 5: said that's his third double of the night, I went, wait,
4:12
Speaker 5: what because I saw it but it didn't register, you know.
4:15
Speaker 5: And and to see all that Naylor was putting together
4:17
Speaker 5: when he did that, when he had that home run
4:19
Speaker 5: and the just nonchalant batflip, like yeah, I just did that.
4:23
Speaker 1: I don't know.
4:24
Speaker 4: That was so nonchalant. That was very showy.
4:27
Speaker 6: The way he did it.
4:28
Speaker 5: Stilla's nonchalant like it's showy, but he actually he does
4:31
Speaker 5: it like no big deal.
4:34
Speaker 6: I don't know.
4:34
Speaker 2: And uh.
4:35
Speaker 5: And then with Randy and his and his double in
4:37
Speaker 5: the seventh was it the seventh and sliding headfirst into
4:43
Speaker 5: second and hanging on to the base.
4:46
Speaker 4: And that's a that's called a hustle double.
4:48
Speaker 6: Yeah. They said that several times.
4:51
Speaker 2: And then and you can see the speed and that
4:53
Speaker 2: and that guy when he you know, he kind of
4:56
Speaker 2: picks and chooses when he goes all out, but shows
4:58
Speaker 2: last night obviously the night before, you know, I don't
5:01
Speaker 2: know what happened between home and second, but he wasn't
5:04
Speaker 2: going to make that same mistake because he was in
5:06
Speaker 2: there easily on a play that not a lot of
5:10
Speaker 2: guys are getting to on second base. But yeah, that
5:13
Speaker 2: was huge. But those three guys in the middle of
5:15
Speaker 2: your order sort of carried the night, and then you
5:17
Speaker 2: got great pitching as well. But we started this season
5:22
Speaker 2: off in such frustrating fashion, and once again you sit
5:25
Speaker 2: there and wonder why the Mariners can never start well offensively,
5:30
Speaker 2: and you don't want to hear the effing words marine
5:33
Speaker 2: layer because that has nothing to do with it. You know,
5:36
Speaker 2: maybe you don't hit as many home runs, but there's
5:38
Speaker 2: no reason why you can't hit the ball hard. And
5:41
Speaker 2: our three best hitters just were not hitting whatsoever. And
5:44
Speaker 2: Cal started to pick it up, as he had a
5:46
Speaker 2: bad night last night at the plate. But obviously he's
5:49
Speaker 2: up to seven home runs at this point. But Josh
5:52
Speaker 2: and Julio are stinging the baseball. I mean, when you
5:55
Speaker 2: think about it, considering Julio's classic horrible starts that he
6:00
Speaker 2: gets off to I mean, he's really off to the
6:03
Speaker 2: best start of his career to be sitting here. We're
6:06
Speaker 2: not even to May yet, and he's hitting two fifty
6:09
Speaker 2: six and I think has just hit into a lot
6:11
Speaker 2: of bad luck as well. And as the temperatures heat up,
6:16
Speaker 2: Julio tends to heat up, and so he's not off
6:20
Speaker 2: to that terrible start that we're used to. I mean,
6:23
Speaker 2: for him to get to May and be around two
6:25
Speaker 2: fifty feels like a breakthrough to me. And so yeah,
6:30
Speaker 2: it's now starting to come together. You know, not all
6:33
Speaker 2: of them have to hitting the same night, but when
6:35
Speaker 2: three of them do in the middle of your order,
6:37
Speaker 2: you're probably gonna win the game because you're pitching's that good.
6:40
Speaker 2: And that was the case last night. So it took
6:43
Speaker 2: a little while to get it popping. But by the
6:46
Speaker 2: end of the night, I mean, it kind of looked
6:48
Speaker 2: like a mauling in Minnesota. Seven runs on twelve hits
6:52
Speaker 2: and a team high for extra base hits in a
6:56
Speaker 2: game this season. And so nice win for the MS
7:00
Speaker 2: last night, no question about it. Even though it took
7:02
Speaker 2: a bit to pop.
7:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it did.
7:04
Speaker 5: And I think as far as Julio being you know, better,
7:08
Speaker 5: having a better start. I think we'd be talking about
7:10
Speaker 5: it more if the Mariners were over five hundred. That's
7:13
Speaker 5: been the problem, right, is because the team has struggled
7:16
Speaker 5: so much that you're not noticing. I mean, we've brought
7:18
Speaker 5: it up a couple times that we didn't even have
7:20
Speaker 5: a chance to talk about Julio's clutch moments that sent
7:22
Speaker 5: us to extra innings a couple times because we ended
7:25
Speaker 5: up losing in the extra innings. So it wasn't about
7:27
Speaker 5: the clutch moment where Julio stepped up. So it hasn't
7:29
Speaker 5: been about It has been about the struggle and then
7:33
Speaker 5: the team struggling. And so to see him now actually
7:38
Speaker 5: doing what he's doing is awesome.
7:40
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:40
Speaker 2: Man, Well, and I don't know what is what's going
7:43
Speaker 2: on with the balls hit right at him, why he
7:45
Speaker 2: has to make such dramatic catches now. But I don't
7:50
Speaker 2: know if it's knuckling on him or whatever the case
7:52
Speaker 2: may be. But he's really only he's misplayed a couple
7:56
Speaker 2: of them. But maybe it wasn't his fault, but he
7:59
Speaker 2: certainly is. It's been an adventure for him, let's put
8:02
Speaker 2: it that way, in center field here as of late.
8:05
Speaker 2: But yes, three doubles last night that did kind of
8:09
Speaker 2: set the tone. And then Naylor with the big three
8:11
Speaker 2: run homer in the eighth inning. I mean that happened
8:14
Speaker 2: in the eighth inning.
8:15
Speaker 4: I mean that game was it felt by the ninth like,
8:18
Speaker 4: oh man, we don't have to sweat this one, but
8:20
Speaker 4: you were trailing one to nothing.
8:24
Speaker 1: And you had to have.
8:25
Speaker 2: Two clutch hits to scratch out anything against Joe Ryan
8:30
Speaker 2: in this game, Naylor with the excellent hit the other way,
8:34
Speaker 2: which was a two out rally started by Julio and
8:36
Speaker 2: then Cole Young. I don't know if you heard the
8:39
Speaker 2: commentators from Minnesota, but there was a clip that was
8:41
Speaker 2: making its way around social media and Minnesota's got to
8:45
Speaker 2: see two nights of Cole Young. And he made an
8:48
Speaker 2: error last night which was very not Cole Young, but
8:53
Speaker 2: the he got that last he got that RBI hit,
8:56
Speaker 2: and the play by play guy goes, the American League
9:00
Speaker 2: is going to deal have to deal with this guy
9:02
Speaker 2: for a long long time, and the color analyst was like, yeah,
9:05
Speaker 2: he is special.
9:06
Speaker 4: So I mean, we've.
9:08
Speaker 2: Talked about him a lot here in the last year
9:10
Speaker 2: and a half and in the offseason, I think some
9:12
Speaker 2: people had some questions about him. I think that was
9:15
Speaker 2: so unfair a young player kind of being thrust into
9:20
Speaker 2: a playoff caliber lineup early in his career because of
9:24
Speaker 2: an injury. Yeah, he had some he had more lows
9:28
Speaker 2: last year than he had highs. But I was just
9:31
Speaker 2: really excited about him coming into this year. And if
9:34
Speaker 2: you're not noticing it, because it's not glaring, it's not anything.
9:39
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not hit seven home runs, you're not
9:42
Speaker 2: hit you know, knocked in twenty two runs. He doesn't
9:45
Speaker 2: steal a lot of bases. It's more of just that
9:48
Speaker 2: steady eddy kind of player, the high floor kind of
9:52
Speaker 2: player that they've projected him to be. But for you
9:56
Speaker 2: to be in Minneapolis for two days and have the
9:59
Speaker 2: analysts on the other team say, oh gosh, this kid
10:03
Speaker 2: is special. I mean, I think we got something pretty
10:06
Speaker 2: special here in Cole Young.
10:07
Speaker 6: Yeah.
10:07
Speaker 5: And it's and it's you look down our lineup right
10:10
Speaker 5: now and think, oh gosh, it's there's not a there again.
10:13
Speaker 5: There's not a safe space, which is how we kind
10:15
Speaker 5: of felt last year. There was no safe space. And
10:17
Speaker 5: everybody seems to want to come through, and everybody seems
10:21
Speaker 5: to be able to come through on any given moment. Yeah,
10:23
Speaker 5: we're having you know, the game on what day, I
10:26
Speaker 5: don't know what date is, Monday. Yeah that was blah,
10:29
Speaker 5: but it was a bland night, right. So, but you
10:32
Speaker 5: look at what's happening more often than not now, and
10:34
Speaker 5: it is that you've got all sorts of people throughout
10:38
Speaker 5: the lineup coming through and Cole Young seems to be
10:40
Speaker 5: one of the most consistent.
10:41
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, he's off to a tremendous start this year.
10:43
Speaker 4: I mean he is.
10:44
Speaker 2: He's playing gold glove defense. Despite the error last night.
10:48
Speaker 2: I had a couple of criticisms of him the night before.
10:50
Speaker 2: That's gonna go with having a twenty one year old,
10:53
Speaker 2: twenty two year old whatever. He is playing every day
10:56
Speaker 2: for you. But you can just see, I mean his
10:59
Speaker 2: hitting approach. The line drives that he hits, I mean,
11:02
Speaker 2: sprays the ball all over the field. He's got more
11:04
Speaker 2: power than what we realized. And he's also a guy
11:07
Speaker 2: that played shortstop his entire young life and had to
11:11
Speaker 2: transition to second not that long ago, and he's already
11:14
Speaker 2: playing a gold glove caliber second base. So it's fun
11:17
Speaker 2: to watch. Plus he's such a nice young man and
11:20
Speaker 2: he still looks like you know he's getting ready to
11:23
Speaker 2: knock on your door and ask your daughter to the prom.
11:25
Speaker 2: You know, he's kind of got that baby face. I
11:28
Speaker 2: mean they showed his baby picture yesterday is like when
11:31
Speaker 2: he was seven years old hitting off a tee and
11:34
Speaker 2: it's like, there's really not much difference.
11:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, he just got taller, got taller and a.
11:39
Speaker 2: Little thicker, but he pretty much looks like the same kid.
11:42
Speaker 2: So you do kind of forget when they put that
11:45
Speaker 2: major league hat and uniform on how young they are
11:47
Speaker 2: and how inexperienced they are at certain things. But for
11:50
Speaker 2: him to have advanced as much as he has from
11:54
Speaker 2: not being put on the playoff roster a year ago
11:57
Speaker 2: to having after two days of exposure, opposing teams analysts saying,
12:04
Speaker 2: oh gosh, this guy's going to be special. That's that's encouraging. Yeah,
12:09
Speaker 2: and he's not even our best guy kind of named
12:12
Speaker 2: Cole in the organization apparently. Okay, Yeah, so then there's
12:16
Speaker 2: that as well, because the other guy's coming and they're
12:19
Speaker 2: probably going to make a fantastic duo at Second and
12:23
Speaker 2: Short for a decade to come. We already know Colt's
12:26
Speaker 2: locked up, and I wouldn't be surprised if Cole's going
12:29
Speaker 2: to get locked up, he might be the next one.
12:31
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about our pitchers, but it might be Cole
12:34
Speaker 2: Young is the next one that they dangle.
12:36
Speaker 4: The long term deal two.
12:40
Speaker 2: And then just kind of locked down second base and
12:42
Speaker 2: shortstop for the next decade to come here in Seattle.
12:46
Speaker 2: You've already done it with Emerson and we haven't seen
12:48
Speaker 2: anything from him. So if you did it with Cole Young,
12:52
Speaker 2: you know, at some point during the course of the
12:53
Speaker 2: regular season, I'd sign up for that. I'd sign up
12:56
Speaker 2: for those two being our shortstop and second baseman for
12:59
Speaker 2: the next day game.
13:00
Speaker 5: And how much trouble our announcer is going to have
13:02
Speaker 5: with their names with Cole and Colt get mixed up
13:06
Speaker 5: all the time.
13:07
Speaker 2: So Mariners get the win last night by a final
13:10
Speaker 2: score of seven to one over the Minnesota Twins, and
13:14
Speaker 2: so now just a game under five hundred, and they
13:18
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to finally get back to that five
13:20
Speaker 2: hundred mark with a day victory against the Twins. Here today,
13:25
Speaker 2: it's a ten to forty first pitch and it is
13:27
Speaker 2: another terrific matchup that will break down for you a
13:31
Speaker 2: little bit later on with Mariners morning after. But I
13:33
Speaker 2: will say this, you got I mean, nice job Dan
13:37
Speaker 2: with the bullpen last night. I mean, Logan I thought,
13:40
Speaker 2: came out at the right time. Let him get through
13:42
Speaker 2: the five innings, and he was really good last night.
13:46
Speaker 2: Got through the five innings. Then Bizardo, Spire, Brash, I
13:50
Speaker 2: mean it was almost picture perfect. Then you built a
13:53
Speaker 2: huge lead going into the bottom of the ninth and
13:56
Speaker 2: so you audibled out of Munos and you went to
14:00
Speaker 2: Chriswell to close it out, and there you have the victory.
14:03
Speaker 2: But you know, I know you're in Minneapolis. I know
14:07
Speaker 2: you don't listen to me anyway, but I'm just gonna
14:10
Speaker 2: say it.
14:11
Speaker 4: Everyone's available today.
14:14
Speaker 2: Just because Bizardo, Spire and Brash pitched yesterday doesn't mean
14:18
Speaker 2: that they can't come back and pitch today. You're gonna
14:21
Speaker 2: have two full days basically between games because you don't
14:24
Speaker 2: play again until Friday night. So you will be done
14:27
Speaker 2: playing this afternoon and won't play on a Wednesday. You'll
14:31
Speaker 2: be done on a Wednesday afternoon and won't be playing
14:34
Speaker 2: again until Friday night. That's almost two full days of recovery.
14:38
Speaker 2: So if you need Bizardo and you need Spire, and
14:42
Speaker 2: you need brash. They are available, Yes, just because they
14:47
Speaker 2: pitched last night doesn't mean they're not available.
14:50
Speaker 4: Let's get this win. Let's get back to five hundred.
14:52
Speaker 2: Let's come home with a five hundred record and put
14:57
Speaker 2: that horrible start behind and not think about it again,
15:02
Speaker 2: and we can basically start anew two days off back
15:06
Speaker 2: to five one hundred. Ready to go at home in
15:09
Speaker 2: front of the crowd, City Connect Jerseys.
15:11
Speaker 6: On seventy five degree weather, the.
15:14
Speaker 2: Season gets underway. Julio's gonna love the seventy five degree
15:17
Speaker 2: weather to hit in. Luis is probably gonna love having
15:20
Speaker 2: seventy five degree weather to pitch in going forward. But
15:25
Speaker 2: everybody is available. I think let's just get this win. Yes, please,
15:30
Speaker 2: So George Kirby is starting tonight against the or today
15:33
Speaker 2: against the Twins, and you still have Forrer, who you
15:36
Speaker 2: didn't have to use. And ideally George Kirby goes into
15:40
Speaker 2: the eighth and Ferrer, you know, relieves in the eighth
15:44
Speaker 2: to get you out of the inning, and then you
15:46
Speaker 2: go to Munos in the ninth. But if you need them,
15:50
Speaker 2: they are there. I do not want to see.
15:53
Speaker 1: Oh well, he pitched seventeen pitches last night, so we
15:56
Speaker 1: only calculate inspire to throw thirteen, so if he drove seventeen,
16:01
Speaker 1: it's clearly unavailable.
16:03
Speaker 2: No, I don't want any of that garbage. Let's get
16:06
Speaker 2: this win today. Everybody's available, all hands on deck, and
16:10
Speaker 2: let's get Donovan back at home on Friday with a
16:14
Speaker 2: five hundred record, and we can put this garbage, that
16:18
Speaker 2: four and nine garbage start behind us and we basically
16:21
Speaker 2: kind of get to start all over.
16:23
Speaker 4: Yes, and we're only a game out of first place
16:25
Speaker 4: this morning.
16:25
Speaker 2: By the way, there's that as well, because no one
16:28
Speaker 2: else has gotten off to a good start in the
16:31
Speaker 2: American League West, and so considering how poorly it started
16:35
Speaker 2: again this year, to have fixed that by game number
16:39
Speaker 2: thirty two and gives you a chance for you know,
16:43
Speaker 2: basically a second start at a brand new season.
16:46
Speaker 4: You have that opportunity.
16:47
Speaker 2: But let's get that win today and make Friday feel
16:50
Speaker 2: really good, feel like we're kind of relaunching the entire
16:56
Speaker 2: season on Friday. One last thing, I'll mention Munnos better today.
17:00
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're up one thousand to one. Okay,
17:03
Speaker 2: do you understand me? He does not need to sit
17:05
Speaker 2: for five days at a time and not pitch. That's
17:08
Speaker 2: what gets them in trouble. So no matter what happens today,
17:10
Speaker 2: Munyo's pitches. Okay, yes, please, okay, yeah, I don't care
17:14
Speaker 2: if we're trailing one hundred to one or leading one
17:17
Speaker 2: hundred to one, Munyo's pitches today. All right, let's find
17:21
Speaker 2: out what's on tap for the rest of the show.
17:26
Speaker 4: What's on TEP, what's on TEP.
17:29
Speaker 2: Ryan Healey will join us today at nine o'clock, so
17:31
Speaker 2: we'll get his thoughts. We also have ABC's of the
17:33
Speaker 2: M's coming your way in the seven o'clock hour today.
17:37
Speaker 2: We are in the drafter math, of course, the aftermath
17:40
Speaker 2: of the NFL draft, so still chewing on that.
17:43
Speaker 4: What happened this past.
17:45
Speaker 2: Week, still kind of you know, I put on a
17:48
Speaker 2: little weight during draft, miss, very obvious, all the cookies
17:52
Speaker 2: and the snacks, and it happens all the parties that
17:54
Speaker 2: I went to, all the charcooterie, so much. Yeah, a
17:58
Speaker 2: little bet of the imbibing, little more than usual. You know,
18:01
Speaker 2: Santa's cough medicine, you know what it is. But yes,
18:05
Speaker 2: we are still in the draftermath. So we've yet to
18:08
Speaker 2: react to the controversial Cardinals draft that they had we'll
18:12
Speaker 2: do that today, plus one of the Seahawks draft picks
18:15
Speaker 2: will join us. It is a sixth round to pick
18:18
Speaker 2: out of Kansas. Emmanuel Henderson Junior is going to be
18:21
Speaker 2: with us today at eight thirties. You'll get to know
18:23
Speaker 2: him a little bit.
18:25
Speaker 1: Oh, you gotta love this story. Out of New York.
18:28
Speaker 2: The next backup for Jets quarterback Geno Smith might very
18:33
Speaker 2: well be Russell Wilson.
18:37
Speaker 6: Full circle moment right there.
18:39
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, for Geno to be back with the
18:43
Speaker 2: Jets and Russell be his backup on an organization that
18:49
Speaker 2: let Sam Darnold go.
18:53
Speaker 6: It's so weird.
18:54
Speaker 4: It is so weird.
18:55
Speaker 2: A lot of people were joking about, you know, they
18:58
Speaker 2: have to hire Pete Carroll as a special and Hard
19:01
Speaker 2: Knocks would have no choice but to bump the Seahawks
19:04
Speaker 2: and put the Jets in there. I don't know if
19:06
Speaker 2: people find it as fascinating as we do, the fact
19:11
Speaker 2: that those three could be together for a training camp again.
19:15
Speaker 2: But the dynamic in and of itself is remarkable. And
19:19
Speaker 2: if you know what's really funny about it, and we
19:21
Speaker 2: will talk about it at some point today at greater length,
19:24
Speaker 2: is Russell just suited up for the Savannah Bananas, and
19:28
Speaker 2: they do this a lot. They bring celebrities on and
19:30
Speaker 2: the idea behind it is to surprise the crowd with
19:34
Speaker 2: somebody they weren't expecting to see play baseball. And we
19:36
Speaker 2: know Russell's basically so good for Russell that he played
19:39
Speaker 2: for the Savannah Bananas and I hope he had a blast.
19:42
Speaker 2: That said, it was impossible not to see how chunky
19:46
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is.
19:47
Speaker 5: They even said after he when he got out at first,
19:50
Speaker 5: well that's a big boy running at you.
19:53
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought he was going to banana split
19:55
Speaker 2: his pants. That's how heavy Russell Wilson looks right now.
19:58
Speaker 5: You just showed no faith in his body. I would
20:01
Speaker 5: have never I wouldn't have even picked that it was
20:03
Speaker 5: an athlete that they had up there, like I maybe
20:05
Speaker 5: a former baseball player.
20:07
Speaker 2: Now in this scenario, there are two people this offseason
20:11
Speaker 2: that thought Russell Wilson had football left in them, and
20:17
Speaker 2: one of them was not Russell Wilson, because he obviously
20:21
Speaker 2: thought he it's hard for him to see the riding
20:24
Speaker 2: on the wall, but he had obviously seen the riding
20:26
Speaker 2: on the wall. Otherwise he didn't need himself to that weight.
20:29
Speaker 2: No in a month and a half time. No, he
20:33
Speaker 2: I mean I never been like that. I think he
20:35
Speaker 2: resigned himself to the fact that I'm done. Nobody's going
20:39
Speaker 2: to pick me up to even be a backup anymore.
20:41
Speaker 2: My career is over. And then he just fork and
20:45
Speaker 2: spooned it for the last month and a half. But
20:49
Speaker 2: the Jets and the Jets general manager obviously were the
20:53
Speaker 2: only two people out there that thought that Russell Wilson
20:57
Speaker 2: has some football left in him.
20:58
Speaker 1: Because man that I was god smacked when I read
21:00
Speaker 1: that yesterday.
21:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's shocking, especially, and I don't think it would
21:04
Speaker 5: have been as shocking had we not seen him in
21:06
Speaker 5: the Savannah Banana's.
21:07
Speaker 6: Video, because we wouldn't have had any clue of what
21:10
Speaker 6: he'd been up to.
21:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, But seeing the Savannah Banana's video earlier in the
21:13
Speaker 5: week and then seeing that, you're like, these things don't
21:17
Speaker 5: match up.
21:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, when Russell looks in the mirror and is like,
21:19
Speaker 2: I don't have any football left in me, But the
21:21
Speaker 2: Jets still see something.
21:23
Speaker 6: WHOA I never thought i'd see the day I didn't either.
21:26
Speaker 2: Dogs after Dark is this Friday, udub's spring game. Make
21:29
Speaker 2: sure if you're a Dogs fan, you get out there.
21:31
Speaker 2: It's really important to Jed. He really wants this to
21:34
Speaker 2: be a big deal. NCAA tournament will talk about this.
21:37
Speaker 2: I just threw it in the headlines. It's probably the
21:40
Speaker 2: top story of the day, but I hate it. Expansion
21:44
Speaker 2: to seventy six teams.
21:45
Speaker 4: How stupid is that?
21:47
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about it at six forty five this morning. Also,
21:50
Speaker 2: the number one high school basketball player in America. He
21:53
Speaker 2: resides here in Seattle, and he chose Tyrone Stokes, Kansas
21:57
Speaker 2: And apparently you Dub was never in on him, and
22:00
Speaker 2: so Tyrone Stokes is now a Jayhawk. As of yesterday,
22:05
Speaker 2: NBA and introduced lottery reform. They have not voted on this,
22:09
Speaker 2: but apparently there is a proposal under consideration and we
22:12
Speaker 2: know the details of it, so obviously we're going to
22:15
Speaker 2: discuss that today. NBA playoffs. Last night, Philadelphia won over
22:19
Speaker 2: Boston one thirteen to ninety seven. They stay alive even
22:23
Speaker 2: though they're still down a game. They've won two games
22:26
Speaker 2: in Boston. New York wins at home one twenty six
22:30
Speaker 2: ninety seven over the Atlanta Hawks. They might have put
22:33
Speaker 2: a stranglehold on the Hawks there. They're up three to two,
22:37
Speaker 2: and the San Antonio Spurs clinched last night with a
22:40
Speaker 2: one fourteen ninety five win over Portland. They now await
22:43
Speaker 2: the winner of Denver and Minnesota Tonight. Orlando can knock
22:47
Speaker 2: out the one seed Detroit in just five games, so
22:51
Speaker 2: they'll play tonight Toronto and Cleveland at Cleveland they're even
22:54
Speaker 2: at two apiece, and Houston at the Lakers. The Lakers
22:57
Speaker 2: can close out the Rockets in five games. Tonight, David
23:01
Speaker 2: Pasternak had a game winning goal for the Boston Bruins
23:03
Speaker 2: to keep their playoff hopes alive. They still trail Buffalo
23:07
Speaker 2: two games excuse me, three games to two, though in
23:09
Speaker 2: that series. Minnesota now is up three to two on
23:12
Speaker 2: Dallas with a four to two win, and Edmonton stayed
23:14
Speaker 2: alive last night against Anaheim. The professional leone drycidle two
23:19
Speaker 2: goals and the Oilers win four to one, but they
23:22
Speaker 2: still trail the series three to two. Tonight Montreal at Tampa,
23:26
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh at Philly, Utah at Vegas. Two of those series
23:30
Speaker 2: are even at two apiece, where Philadelphia can close out
23:33
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh a second chance at doing that tonight at home.
23:36
Speaker 2: All Right, Myroners morning after is next. It's Chuck and
23:39
Speaker 2: Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
23:43
Speaker 2: of five hundred and they could rectify that tonight or
23:47
Speaker 2: actually this afternoon where they went over the Minnesota Twins.
23:50
Speaker 4: More on that in a moment.
23:52
Speaker 2: Of course, if you had an inkling about Mariner's victory
23:56
Speaker 2: last night, you could have taken that inkling with you
23:59
Speaker 2: to de Laylap Casino and the Draftking sports Book and
24:03
Speaker 2: had a little fun, not only enjoyed a little you know,
24:07
Speaker 2: blow away put your foot on the gas kind of
24:09
Speaker 2: victory late in the game, but you know, been rolling
24:13
Speaker 2: in the cash.
24:14
Speaker 6: Yeah you could have, but you know what, it's a
24:16
Speaker 6: ten to forty game. Today. We're off the air at ten.
24:18
Speaker 5: Oh, you could go up there and make up for
24:20
Speaker 5: it today.
24:22
Speaker 2: I love how you're like, of course you're going to
24:24
Speaker 2: stay at home and listen to the end of the
24:25
Speaker 2: show and.
24:26
Speaker 4: Then you still have time.
24:27
Speaker 6: Well you could listen as you're driving.
24:30
Speaker 4: Good, you can do that as well.
24:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, but get up there.
24:32
Speaker 2: I like to think that you're just sitting at home
24:35
Speaker 2: till ten o'clock and you won't leave the house until
24:37
Speaker 2: you're finished listening to us.
24:39
Speaker 6: They're off the air gotta go.
24:41
Speaker 2: No, no, kids, not daddy time, not right.
24:45
Speaker 4: Now, right till ten. I'll start, I'll kick in.
24:48
Speaker 1: I'll do fatherly duties at.
24:49
Speaker 6: Ten once the morning shows off the air.
24:51
Speaker 4: I didn't get up at six o'clock to not.
24:53
Speaker 2: Finish, right, okay, all four hours? Okay, So I'm just
24:57
Speaker 2: not your dad for this stretch of time.
25:00
Speaker 6: We all know it starts at ten. Get over it,
25:02
Speaker 6: daddam starts at ten.
25:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, pick up your own finger and try to reattach
25:06
Speaker 2: it gross.
25:08
Speaker 6: Okay, make sure you put it on ice first, paid.
25:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just put it on ice. Daddy'll fix it
25:14
Speaker 2: at ten oh one. Yes, all right, it's Mariner's Morning
25:18
Speaker 2: after time here on Chuck and Buck in the mornings.
25:22
Speaker 2: No Bucky Jacobson, but we do have Mariner's Baseball to
25:26
Speaker 2: break down for you. And it was a great pitchers
25:30
Speaker 2: matchup Minnesota's best Joe Ryan against arguably our best. I mean,
25:34
Speaker 2: obviously Logan's been in that conversation for quite some time.
25:37
Speaker 2: He hasn't pitched that way so far this year, but
25:40
Speaker 2: we have a lot of faith and our guy slim pitcheons.
25:44
Speaker 6: So I forgot that was his nickname.
25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gilbert takes the mound last night and the two
25:48
Speaker 2: of them went toe to tow. It was it was excellent.
25:51
Speaker 2: I thought Logan was very very good last night. He
25:54
Speaker 2: gave up the home run to Byron Buxton in the
25:56
Speaker 2: fifth inning, and he got in a couple of jams,
25:59
Speaker 2: but that was created bad luck bounce they've hit. They've
26:02
Speaker 2: got two singles by hitting a base so far in
26:05
Speaker 2: this series. And then Cole Young a very uncharacteristic air
26:09
Speaker 2: put him in a bit of a pickle, but he
26:11
Speaker 2: found his way out of that. Something I do want
26:14
Speaker 2: to discuss a little bit later on because I found
26:16
Speaker 2: something about that very interesting.
26:17
Speaker 1: But I thought Logan was really good.
26:19
Speaker 2: And the Mariners did him a solid by scoring a
26:23
Speaker 2: run in the sixth thanks to a Josh Naylor two
26:26
Speaker 2: out single the other way that scored Julio Rodriguez. So
26:30
Speaker 2: Logan leaves after five and we know he's not going
26:32
Speaker 2: to get the loss. He just can't get the win.
26:35
Speaker 2: Then you go into the seventh and Cole Young comes
26:38
Speaker 2: through with a two out base at RBI of his
26:40
Speaker 2: own to make it two to one at that point
26:43
Speaker 2: and yet still very tight. And in the eighth inning
26:47
Speaker 2: with Joe Ryan out of the contest. The Mariners decided
26:51
Speaker 2: to put the foot on the old gas pedal. With
26:55
Speaker 2: two on, Josh Naylor came to the plate, smoke high.
27:01
Speaker 4: Deep right field back Shosh.
27:04
Speaker 2: Nayler and coming three run home run. He opens it
27:09
Speaker 2: up in the eighth inny to The Mariners have a
27:12
Speaker 2: five one lead. I don't want to turn into some
27:16
Speaker 2: sort of freak show viewer like Ashley Ryan, but I
27:22
Speaker 2: pretty much watched just about every pitch of this team
27:25
Speaker 2: since I got back from my tripped Arizona. I didn't
27:29
Speaker 2: watch a lot on opening weekend. And obviously it's been
27:33
Speaker 2: a little bit of a struggle, right, Yeah, you know,
27:35
Speaker 2: I mean we haven't exactly run away with things.
27:36
Speaker 6: No, We've been watching some frustrating games.
27:38
Speaker 2: Right, And so we took the lead, we had the
27:41
Speaker 2: lead two to one. Watched every pitch to that point.
27:45
Speaker 2: Took at two to one, and at that point it
27:47
Speaker 2: was starting to get a little late. I'm like, I
27:48
Speaker 2: gotta eat dinner. I gotta go make a sandwich or something.
27:51
Speaker 2: And while I'm making my sandwich, all I can hear
27:54
Speaker 2: is Aaron Goldsmith's high pitch. Yeah, I'm just hearing Burgundy. Yeah,
28:04
Speaker 2: you know, shout to the rooftops. I'm like, what am
28:06
Speaker 2: I missing? What happened? And so I went in there,
28:11
Speaker 2: put the sandwich making on hold, rewatched everything that I
28:14
Speaker 2: missed because I'm like, well, finally, I mean, obviously something
28:17
Speaker 2: special happened here, and I want to read about it.
28:19
Speaker 4: I want to see it.
28:20
Speaker 2: So I watched that, and then we scored the three
28:22
Speaker 2: runs there, so take the five to one lead, and
28:24
Speaker 2: now you got a comfortable lead. So I'm thinking to myself,
28:26
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna go finish my sandwich in the
28:29
Speaker 2: top of the ninth, and then all of a sudden,
28:31
Speaker 2: Burgundy's going off again in the ninth, So do I
28:34
Speaker 2: need to go make sandwiches all the time?
28:39
Speaker 7: That's it, because I'd really like to just watch the
28:43
Speaker 7: season like a natural human being happened and not think
28:46
Speaker 7: that my sandwich making had everything to do with our
28:49
Speaker 7: offensive explosion.
28:51
Speaker 6: You could not think it, but you'd be ignoring the obvious.
28:55
Speaker 1: Well, thanks to Burgundy and Angie.
28:58
Speaker 2: Last night on Marin TV, Josh Naylor does hit the
29:02
Speaker 2: three run homer. It was a no doubt or he
29:05
Speaker 2: does like to have fun, But there was also a
29:08
Speaker 2: didn't you get the sense there was an air with
29:10
Speaker 2: him of yeah, I'm back on it, I'm out of
29:14
Speaker 2: my slump. It was a I am officially out of
29:17
Speaker 2: that stupid slump swing and celebration.
29:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, that bat flip for sure.
29:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, the confidence, the look he was like, Daggers, like,
29:26
Speaker 5: I'm focused, I've got this.
29:28
Speaker 4: Yeah.
29:28
Speaker 2: Ye had an RBI single with two outs earlier the
29:30
Speaker 2: other way and then you pull to left's excuse me,
29:33
Speaker 2: right center field a monster shot for a three run homer,
29:38
Speaker 2: and Naylor was certainly feeling it and we uh well,
29:41
Speaker 2: we didn't catch up to him after the game, but
29:44
Speaker 2: we will play the audio from people who did catch
29:47
Speaker 2: up to him after the game.
29:48
Speaker 3: What we trying to do in that last or Pat.
29:51
Speaker 8: Just hit a single, a single or a sack, buy anywhere,
29:54
Speaker 8: anything that I could look up and just left to
29:56
Speaker 8: ride or back of it on. That was really my front.
30:00
Speaker 8: I knew I was gonna get a cutter eventually. That's
30:02
Speaker 8: that guy.
30:02
Speaker 3: He's an out pitch or his uh just kiss barrel pitch.
30:08
Speaker 3: So I was kind of just waiting on here. When
30:10
Speaker 3: you like, I mean you're you're a veteran guy and
30:12
Speaker 3: you understand the situation, I mean, like you like to
30:15
Speaker 3: spray the ball over.
30:16
Speaker 1: But when you need to pull a ball and pull
30:17
Speaker 1: it hard.
30:17
Speaker 3: In that kind of situation, you're capable of doing it right,
30:20
Speaker 3: Like you understand. I try my best. Yeah, Uh, it's hard.
30:23
Speaker 3: Hitting's very hard. Pitching is very good.
30:24
Speaker 8: Nowadays you're watching cool young hit it to play right
30:28
Speaker 8: now he's hitting.
30:29
Speaker 3: He seems like everything is on the barrel.
30:31
Speaker 8: He goes, they bring in the left, he stays in there,
30:33
Speaker 8: hits it three hits again, and I what have you
30:35
Speaker 8: seen from him?
30:35
Speaker 3: And how impressed are you with what he's doing? Yeah,
30:37
Speaker 3: very impressed that.
30:38
Speaker 8: But it's credit to his work on him off the field,
30:40
Speaker 8: you know, he uh, he grew a lot of this spring.
30:42
Speaker 3: He asked a lot of questions.
30:44
Speaker 8: He had gained a l a.
30:45
Speaker 3: Lot of knowledge.
30:47
Speaker 8: He worked his butt off in early work, pre game stuff,
30:51
Speaker 8: post game at I mean, he's he's doing a phenomenal
30:53
Speaker 8: because he's putting in the work.
30:55
Speaker 3: It seems like his swing is pretty simple and clean
30:57
Speaker 3: and just like when it's on time, So it's now
30:59
Speaker 3: he's SE's over. I just gotta gotta keep your head
31:03
Speaker 3: down and keep rinding.
31:04
Speaker 8: And then you know those those bad days, you know,
31:06
Speaker 8: take those little wins out of the bad days and
31:08
Speaker 8: move forward, and then the good days, take wins out
31:10
Speaker 8: of those and.
31:11
Speaker 3: Try to just become a better player.
31:13
Speaker 2: Ready, Josh Naylor after the game last night, Apparently Ryan Devish,
31:19
Speaker 2: the only person asking questions, turned into a Barbara Walters
31:22
Speaker 2: special right before our eyes. Was it just like, were
31:25
Speaker 2: you like Kay Adams there, Devish, you just sit on
31:28
Speaker 2: a couch, a comfy couch, and just put him, put.
31:31
Speaker 1: Him in a trance to answer your questions.
31:33
Speaker 6: Yep, get your get your fist under your chin.
31:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, put your hair in a ponytail.
31:37
Speaker 6: Yep, and just so tell me about this.
31:39
Speaker 4: Where are the latest Coulottes?
31:41
Speaker 6: And you've got to do He probably did the finger.
31:44
Speaker 6: Now what were you trying to do?
31:47
Speaker 4: Yeah?
31:48
Speaker 1: Or maybe the rest of the media horde is just like, man,
31:50
Speaker 1: we've been way.
31:51
Speaker 4: Too nosy and we'll let Ryan do all of this.
31:55
Speaker 6: That's probably what it was.
31:56
Speaker 2: But Josh Naylor, Julio Rodriguez Randy Rosa combined for eight
32:01
Speaker 2: hits last night. Even though you'd only had one run
32:05
Speaker 2: scored in the top of the by the top of
32:07
Speaker 2: the seventh inning, they had eight hits last night, six
32:10
Speaker 2: extra base hits, just between the three of them, they
32:12
Speaker 2: knocked in six runs, they scored four times. They even
32:15
Speaker 2: had a walk thrown in there. Naylor got thrown out
32:18
Speaker 2: stealing for the first time as a Mariner and then
32:20
Speaker 2: got thrown out again trying to steal as a Mariner,
32:24
Speaker 2: so he's got a new streak going right now. But
32:26
Speaker 2: other than that, it was a terrific game for Josh Naylor,
32:29
Speaker 2: the heart of the order, and the Mariners win by
32:31
Speaker 2: a final score of seven to one over the Minnesota Twins.
32:35
Speaker 2: So chance again to get back to the five hundred mark.
32:38
Speaker 2: We've already discussed this a little bit this morning. Feels
32:41
Speaker 2: important to me and George cor Kirby gets the start today.
32:46
Speaker 2: It's a ten to forty first pitch, but this is
32:48
Speaker 2: not an easy pitching matchup either. Maybe you've not heard
32:51
Speaker 2: the name Taj Bradley, but he is off to a
32:53
Speaker 2: fantastic start. He was a Tampa bay Rays top prospect
32:57
Speaker 2: for a number of years and then they train in
33:00
Speaker 2: that Griffin Jacks deal with the trading deadline this past
33:03
Speaker 2: year because he just wasn't having any major league success
33:08
Speaker 2: and he's gotten to Minnesota and whatever they've whatever has happened,
33:12
Speaker 2: whether it's just his own maturity or maybe a different
33:15
Speaker 2: information in his ears. But TOAJ, Bradley is a very
33:19
Speaker 2: talented pitcher. We've known that for years and now it
33:22
Speaker 2: looks like he's settling into major league success. So this
33:25
Speaker 2: is not gonna be easy scoring today against Bradley. This
33:27
Speaker 2: is a fantastic pitching matchup, but one that man, I
33:31
Speaker 2: just I just really want this game.
33:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, more so than any game we played so far.
33:35
Speaker 5: I agree, because, as we said, coming home, having a
33:38
Speaker 5: nice weekend and being starting the weekend off when you're
33:41
Speaker 5: at five hundred, it just seems like a recipe for success.
33:44
Speaker 1: All Right, the bullpen's available, Dan, the entire bullpen.
33:48
Speaker 6: But I do have some bad news for you.
33:50
Speaker 5: By the way, we did get a text on the
33:51
Speaker 5: Tacoma Badge text line that you probably have to get
33:53
Speaker 5: a second job at Subway. Why so that you're just
33:56
Speaker 5: making sandwiches all the time in the Mariners can Oh?
33:59
Speaker 4: Oh, I see, I see?
34:01
Speaker 6: So you might have to take one for the team.
34:03
Speaker 1: Oh geez, I'm a sandwich artist.
34:05
Speaker 2: I do love sand I made maybe the best sandwich
34:08
Speaker 2: I've ever made.
34:09
Speaker 6: What kind of sandwich did you make?
34:11
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is what I did, Okay, I think
34:14
Speaker 2: we got Yeah. So I just took some chicken, okay,
34:18
Speaker 2: but it was like it was canned chicken. Yeah, you know,
34:22
Speaker 2: it's apparently the healthiest. I get reminded of this all
34:25
Speaker 2: the time. So I just caned chicken. And you can't
34:27
Speaker 2: eat it by itself. It's like eating styrofog. So you've
34:30
Speaker 2: got to like it's definitely got to be blended, and
34:33
Speaker 2: then you got to put stuff in it. Yeah, so
34:35
Speaker 2: I went with that. I have this like hot mustard
34:39
Speaker 2: like sweet sauce that I bought.
34:42
Speaker 1: Which apparently has too much sugar in it.
34:44
Speaker 2: So I put that in there, almonds, Mama Litl's peppers
34:48
Speaker 2: or a little Mama lil's, yeah, chili peppers, and then siracha.
34:53
Speaker 6: Oh my god, it sounds like the spiciest sandwich ever.
34:55
Speaker 2: Mix that all together, and then I put it on
34:58
Speaker 2: a toasted bagel.
35:00
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
35:01
Speaker 6: It like chicken salad sandwich.
35:04
Speaker 2: Spicy kind of hot mustard chicken salad sandwich. All right,
35:09
Speaker 2: And I did not really have that great of hopes
35:12
Speaker 2: for it.
35:12
Speaker 1: Frankly, as I'm Megan, I'm like, this might not work.
35:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, You're like, I'm just gonna try.
35:16
Speaker 4: This might have been the best sandwich I want. Wow,
35:18
Speaker 4: it was so good.
35:20
Speaker 3: All right?
35:20
Speaker 2: Coming down next on the radio program, the NCAA has
35:24
Speaker 2: decided to do another stupid thing. We'll highlight it next
35:28
Speaker 2: on kJ R. You can answer me something I'd love to.
35:40
Speaker 2: We're using the same soap right at the sink. Do
35:42
Speaker 2: you ever go into the kitchen scene.
35:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like don dish soap, right or something. It's
35:48
Speaker 5: like a method white hand soap.
35:50
Speaker 4: No, it's it's orange. Oh, and we've been using it
35:53
Speaker 4: for quite some time.
35:54
Speaker 6: I don't use that one. Yeah, but I don't smell
35:56
Speaker 6: different now.
35:58
Speaker 4: It smells like barbosol.
35:59
Speaker 3: Oh.
36:00
Speaker 2: We've probably never used barbasol shaving cream before.
36:03
Speaker 6: And I haven't shaved in a barbicide.
36:07
Speaker 2: I don't even know what barbecide is that suicide by barbecue.
36:11
Speaker 6: It's close. That's what they put Like when.
36:14
Speaker 1: This sounds wonderful, that's the way you're going to go out.
36:18
Speaker 5: If they that's when they put the tools for like
36:20
Speaker 5: when they do your hair, they put in that blue
36:22
Speaker 5: liquid to like Oh, yeah, I did not know that
36:27
Speaker 5: was the name of it. But barbasol is the shaving cream.
36:30
Speaker 5: When you said that I was like, that probably smells
36:31
Speaker 5: pretty good.
36:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't smell bad.
36:33
Speaker 4: Yeah.
36:34
Speaker 2: I just don't know how a soap can change its
36:36
Speaker 2: smell because we've been using that orange stuff in.
36:38
Speaker 4: There for a long time.
36:41
Speaker 2: Unless they it's a different orange, it's got to be
36:43
Speaker 2: a different orange.
36:44
Speaker 6: It must be.
36:45
Speaker 1: But I've said it for like three days.
36:47
Speaker 2: I've been driving home and I almost asked you in
36:49
Speaker 2: my meeting, in our meeting yesterday, why do why do
36:53
Speaker 2: my hands smell like barbasol?
36:55
Speaker 4: Where did that come from?
36:56
Speaker 6: I don't know?
36:58
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the nc.
37:00
Speaker 2: Has decided that, you know, we've only got one really
37:04
Speaker 2: great thing going in college basketball these days, and that's
37:07
Speaker 2: our tournament, so let's do something to ruin it. They
37:11
Speaker 2: have decided to expand. Again, we knew what was coming.
37:15
Speaker 2: It's not as far as what many feared they were
37:18
Speaker 2: going to take this, but we already are at sixty eight,
37:22
Speaker 2: which is a ridiculous number, and now it's seventy six.
37:25
Speaker 2: So now it will be the seventy six team field.
37:29
Speaker 2: So they've added four extra games that will make filling
37:33
Speaker 2: out a bracket annoying, and.
37:35
Speaker 6: What are they gonna do? Those? Those are going to
37:36
Speaker 6: be the play and play in games.
37:38
Speaker 5: So you'll have the play in games on Tuesday and Wednesday,
37:40
Speaker 5: but on Monday you're gonna have to play into the
37:42
Speaker 5: play in No.
37:43
Speaker 2: I think you're just going to have more play in games. Yes,
37:46
Speaker 2: so there will be an added four play and so
37:49
Speaker 2: now we're up to what eight play in games.
37:51
Speaker 1: Stupid at that point.
37:52
Speaker 2: I'm I don't really know what you're after here, and
37:57
Speaker 2: I get it. You're basically saying, the only thing in
38:01
Speaker 2: college basketball these days that people really pay attention to
38:06
Speaker 2: is the tournament, so we need to expand a good thing.
38:10
Speaker 2: I don't really operate with that logic. My what the
38:13
Speaker 2: logic I operate with is, let's not ruin what's good,
38:19
Speaker 2: and you won't ruin it. It's not going to ruin it.
38:22
Speaker 2: But let's not lessen something that is our best thing.
38:26
Speaker 2: Let's actually reduce it back to sixty four like most
38:29
Speaker 2: people want it, and then just keep it confined and
38:33
Speaker 2: excellent and familiar. And now let's try to figure out
38:38
Speaker 2: how we can make the regular season more interesting, not
38:41
Speaker 2: how do we bastardize what's already interesting. Because I'll tell
38:48
Speaker 2: you this, and I know they've done the research, and
38:50
Speaker 2: my guess is that, like more people watch those play
38:53
Speaker 2: in games than what you think. And I'm sure, I'm
38:56
Speaker 2: sure their research told them people love to gamble on
39:00
Speaker 2: those furts that draws eyeballs. Well, then I would say
39:04
Speaker 2: to the gambler, why is it more? Why why wouldn't
39:07
Speaker 2: a regular season game be just as thrilling to gamble
39:11
Speaker 2: on as a tournament game?
39:13
Speaker 6: Yeah? I agree, it makes no you don't.
39:15
Speaker 2: Get extra money by betting on a tournament game versus
39:19
Speaker 2: a regular season game.
39:20
Speaker 6: That because people don't pay attention to that week.
39:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's just it. Well, if you're a gambler,
39:26
Speaker 2: what does it matter? Yeah, now, the average fan, I
39:29
Speaker 2: get it. The average fan might not pay attention until
39:32
Speaker 2: that week. The novice might not pay attention to that week.
39:37
Speaker 2: But let's now talk about the novice. Because the novice
39:40
Speaker 2: wants to fill out a bracket. That's what's appealing to them.
39:44
Speaker 2: And now you've just added four more games that we
39:47
Speaker 2: completely overlook as bracket filler outers. I mean, this station's
39:53
Speaker 2: done a bracket contest for decades, and yet we don't
39:59
Speaker 2: even count the first games the play in games of
40:02
Speaker 2: the tournament. And my guess is we won't count these either,
40:06
Speaker 2: So you're not appealing to that person either by expanding
40:10
Speaker 2: the tournament. I'm sure you've got data that suggests more money,
40:15
Speaker 2: more exposure, everything else. I'm sure you have it, But
40:19
Speaker 2: I can just tell you, as a lifelong college basketball
40:21
Speaker 2: fan who gets more disenchanted with your product every year
40:25
Speaker 2: that goes by, I don't think you just keep toying
40:32
Speaker 2: with the one thing that works for you. Why don't
40:36
Speaker 2: you spend more energy trying to figure out how to
40:39
Speaker 2: get more eyeballs on the regular season product. I watched
40:42
Speaker 2: a lot more college basketball this year than I have
40:44
Speaker 2: in the last few years, and I enjoyed it. Figure
40:47
Speaker 2: out how to seduce fans into watching Big Ten conference games,
40:52
Speaker 2: or maybe you have, you know, tournaments inside the season
40:59
Speaker 2: or better matchups inside the season. Because I just don't
41:03
Speaker 2: abide by the practice of i've got something good, let
41:06
Speaker 2: me just keep messing with it until I piss off
41:09
Speaker 2: all of my regular customers.
41:11
Speaker 5: Well, if you're supposed to getting into the tournament's supposed
41:14
Speaker 5: to be special. If everybody gets into the tournament, it
41:17
Speaker 5: loses a lot of its luster. If it's just like, oh, okay, well,
41:20
Speaker 5: oh ninety seven teams get in so that would be
41:23
Speaker 5: weird to have a ninety seven but ninety six teams
41:25
Speaker 5: get in.
41:26
Speaker 4: I mean, I thought that's where they were going to go,
41:27
Speaker 4: is to ninety seven.
41:28
Speaker 6: That would have been absolutely beyond stupid. But I don't know.
41:32
Speaker 5: It's annoying when you fill out a bracket and you've
41:34
Speaker 5: got to you have the playing games, and you've got
41:36
Speaker 5: to figure out, Okay, well, now who I think is
41:37
Speaker 5: going to win the playing game, and then from there,
41:39
Speaker 5: who's going to win that one? And so those matchups
41:41
Speaker 5: I hate every single time I have to fill out
41:43
Speaker 5: a bracket.
41:43
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll probably have to start counting them in
41:46
Speaker 2: the future because you can't. Yeah, you can't have twelve
41:50
Speaker 2: empty slots and fill out a bracket.
41:52
Speaker 6: No, it's impossible.
41:53
Speaker 2: And nobody's gonna want to have a bracket contest if
41:55
Speaker 2: you have to wait till Thursday morning in order to enter, right,
41:59
Speaker 2: And so I don't know what we'll do from that standpoint,
42:02
Speaker 2: but I just just think it's a bad idea. People think, well,
42:05
Speaker 2: we've got a great thing, let's stretch it out and
42:07
Speaker 2: make more of it. No, you have a great thing,
42:09
Speaker 2: leave it the f alone and fix the things that
42:11
Speaker 2: aren't good yeah, all right. Coming up next headlines plus
42:16
