- 2:57Speaker 6: one of the worst losses that you'll see team suffer
- 3:00Speaker 6: at this time of the season. As the relief pitcher
- 3:03Speaker 6: O'Ryan keck Kerkering threw a ball away and absolutely had
- 3:09Speaker 6: no reason to be throwing it at home to begin with,
- 3:11Speaker 6: and it ended up being the death nail for the Phillies.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Their season is over. Dodgers advance. They'll take on the

- 3:32Speaker 2: Damn you, Golden Knights.
- 3:33Speaker 6: They'll drop the pocket seven o'clock there, all of our
- 3:37Speaker 6: guys on hand to deliver it for you tonight two
- 3:40Speaker 6: o'clock pregame show. That's right, Friday Night football for the Huskies.

- 4:01Speaker 6: will be in Jacksonville taking on the Jaguars. We have
- 4:05Speaker 6: a doctor, Greg bell a lot this week. We're going
- 4:07Speaker 6: to talk to him right now.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Busy time, Yeah, I understand, yeah, yeah, it a little
- 4:11Speaker 4: bit like I.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Do now, yeah, yeah exactly. Are you already in? When
- 4:16Speaker 2: do you leave for Jacksonville tomorrow morning? All right, tomorrow morning?
- 4:19Speaker 2: So you are you going to go to the game
- 4:21Speaker 2: baseball game tonight to cover it?
- 4:24Speaker 4: I am not a prayer commitment.
- 4:26Speaker 6: Oh you got.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Game five? Yeah, it was one o'clock. Would have worked
- 4:34Speaker 4: a lot better for this household.
- 4:36Speaker 7: Oh I see, hey, Greg, real real quick. Have I
- 4:41Speaker 7: ever told you that we basically live in southeast Alaska,
- 4:44Speaker 7: Like we're a long years away from everywhere.
- 4:47Speaker 4: You haven't, I didn't know that.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a long flight to Detroit.
- 4:51Speaker 4: That's a direct, that's a nonstoff flight, though, you're okay,
- 4:54Speaker 4: I would just I'd prefer to get up and stretch
- 4:56Speaker 4: my legs. Yeah, yeah, I can understand that. Yes, all right,
- 5:02Speaker 4: well like twenty times.
- 5:04Speaker 6: A year, well before we get into Seahawks Jaguars a
- 5:09Speaker 6: little baseball faugh, what do you think about tonight?
- 5:12Speaker 4: They wish they were starting Castillo. To be honest with you,
- 5:15Speaker 4: I'd rather have Kurby out of the bullpen and Castillo,
- 5:17Speaker 4: but I would expect both are going to pitch. I
- 5:20Speaker 4: expect like nine guys are going to pitch tonight. I
- 5:24Speaker 4: would think everybody but Logan Gilbert pitches tonight. I think
- 5:28Speaker 4: they're going to get them.
- 5:30Speaker 8: I don't, maybe, said the Hunts schoobl fourth time. It's
- 5:36Speaker 8: the finality of baseball postseasons, that this could all be
- 5:39Speaker 8: over by twelve hours from or fifteen hours from now.
- 5:41Speaker 4: It's just crazy.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the extremes your seasons either. Yeah.
- 5:46Speaker 4: If they win, yeah, they win. It's the first time
- 5:49Speaker 4: in a quarter century Flord that's so. Yeah, there's a
- 5:54Speaker 4: very looked. There's a chance I'll be in Toronto for
- 5:56Speaker 4: Game two. I couldn't make Game one because that's Sunday
- 5:59Speaker 4: at five, right after the Seahawks, but there is a
- 6:01Speaker 4: Jacksonville to Toronto Flay.
- 6:03Speaker 2: He looked into Oh, nice, nice nice. All right, Well,
- 6:06Speaker 2: let's talk about Jacksonville.
- 6:07Speaker 6: We haven't talked to you really much at all about
- 6:09Speaker 6: them during the course of the week. How healthy are
- 6:12Speaker 6: the Seahawks going into this big, suddenly big game against
- 6:15Speaker 6: the Jaguars on at ten am.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Healthy error? I mean they're not full full go. Devin
- 6:22Speaker 4: Witherspoon hasn't been on the field this week. Julian Love,
- 6:26Speaker 4: the Pro Bowl safety, hasn't been on the field this week.
- 6:28Speaker 4: We saw what happened when Love and Witherspoon didn't play
- 6:31Speaker 4: last week. It became potpourri of backups and Tyocotta blitzes
- 6:35Speaker 4: into linemen to nowhere and me and Mayah Pritchet getting
- 6:38Speaker 4: picked on when TERRYK Wollen went out with a concussion. Wollen,
- 6:42Speaker 4: by the way, has practiced the last two days on
- 6:44Speaker 4: a limited basis. He was doing some running yesterday. They're
- 6:47Speaker 4: progressing through the concussion protocol. The way the NFL protocol
- 6:51Speaker 4: works is that you practice in increments each day to
- 6:55Speaker 4: see how you react to the practice afterwards, and if
- 6:58Speaker 4: you are fine with no times, you do a little
- 7:00Speaker 4: bit more the next day. So he'll do a little
- 7:02Speaker 4: bit more today running wise to see if he's near
- 7:06Speaker 4: ready to play on Sunday. But they got goodness, yes,
- 7:09Speaker 4: said DeMarcus Lawrence, a defensive end who had the quad
- 7:13Speaker 4: injury chasing down Kyler Murray two weeks ago. Yesterday. He
- 7:16Speaker 4: practiced for the first time full go since that injury yesterday,
- 7:21Speaker 4: so that's a good sign he's going to play. Ernie
- 7:22Speaker 4: Jones had a shoulder injury that kept him out of
- 7:25Speaker 4: practice Wednesday, and he practiced yesterday on a limited basis. Anyway.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Nicki mon Warri was back to practice after not practicing
- 7:34Speaker 4: on Wednesday with the leftover from the ankle injury from
- 7:37Speaker 4: week one. So they're getting healthier. But the Love and
- 7:40Speaker 4: Withershman ones of the issues that I'll be looking at
- 7:43Speaker 4: today and they'll probably be listed as questionable, I would assume.
- 7:46Speaker 7: Aside from health and getting those guys back out on
- 7:48Speaker 7: the field, what's the main adjustment that they the Seahawks
- 7:52Speaker 7: need to do defensively to make sure that they don't
- 7:54Speaker 7: have a repeat performance from the Buccaneers game.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Well, Bucket, you're talking about tackling as if it just
- 8:00Speaker 4: came up last week, and we've talked to them here that
- 8:03Speaker 4: it's happened all season. They weren't tackling well in Week one,
- 8:06Speaker 4: especially in the secondary against Tampa Bay. It was at
- 8:09Speaker 4: all levels. It was on screen passes, it was on
- 8:12Speaker 4: runs through the middle, it was linebackers, linemen and defensive backs.
- 8:18Speaker 4: They're working on different angles of the tackling and shoring
- 8:22Speaker 4: up their form tackles. Again, nobody brings anyone to ground
- 8:26Speaker 4: in the NFL, certainly not during midweek mid season practices.
- 8:29Speaker 4: But it is a focus and then an offense. Not
- 8:33Speaker 4: that they don't ever focus on taking care of the ball.
- 8:36Speaker 4: But Jacksonville has produced fourteen turnovers, ten interceptions and four
- 8:40Speaker 4: fumble recoveries and fifteen in five games. Excuse me, that's
- 8:43Speaker 4: by far the most in the league. They're a plus
- 8:45Speaker 4: eight and turnover margin. If you want to look at
- 8:47Speaker 4: why Jacksonville's four and one, just point there. Anybody who
- 8:51Speaker 4: has a plus eight after five games is going to
- 8:54Speaker 4: be doing pretty well won loss wise, so the Seahawks
- 8:58Speaker 4: could any most teams in the NFL can say this,
- 9:02Speaker 4: But the Sea Oars can look at themselves and say, well,
- 9:05Speaker 4: if our quarterback didn't get run into by the right
- 9:07Speaker 4: tackle and fumble in the ten yard line against the
- 9:09Speaker 4: forty nine ers or thirty seconds left, and if it's
- 9:12Speaker 4: free blitzing safety didn't knock Donald into an interception at
- 9:15Speaker 4: the end against Tampa Bay, they could be five and oh.
- 9:18Speaker 4: So taking care of the ball on offense is job one.
- 9:21Speaker 4: They still need to get the running game more consistent
- 9:24Speaker 4: and keep saying that until I probably retire, even after
- 9:27Speaker 4: I retire.
- 9:28Speaker 6: Yeah, And the crazy part about it is that, yeah,
- 9:30Speaker 6: I think that, and then there's an outside chance you
- 9:33Speaker 6: can play that sliding window sighting doors thing. And maybe
- 9:36Speaker 6: they're five and zero. But the bottom line is that
- 9:39Speaker 6: if they lose, suddenly a team that feels a lot
- 9:42Speaker 6: better than three and three is a five hundred football
- 9:44Speaker 6: team when they fly home from Jacksonville. So, I mean,
- 9:49Speaker 6: where are we in the level of importance to win
- 9:53Speaker 6: this game in Jacksonville? They went from underdogs to favorites,
- 9:57Speaker 6: so somebody likes them, but how how essential is it
- 10:01Speaker 6: for them to get this win on the road.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Sunday, Well, it's still mid October. Yeah, and they're only
- 10:08Speaker 4: one in one in the Vision and still have most
- 10:10Speaker 4: of their division games ahead of them. The Rams are
- 10:13Speaker 4: going into Baltimore, who I'm not convinced is packing an end.
- 10:15Speaker 4: The Ravens are due for an uprising here pretty soon.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Does it happen with the Rams this weekend? So the
- 10:22Speaker 4: forty nine ers still have their injury issues though they're winning.
- 10:27Speaker 4: It's not essential, but yeah, you start stacking up losses
- 10:30Speaker 4: and games you should win and it will catch up
- 10:31Speaker 4: to you in the end. They they're nine and one
- 10:37Speaker 4: on the road, which Mike McDonald's like in the company
- 10:40Speaker 4: of four coaches ever, who's won the nine of their
- 10:42Speaker 4: first ten road games as a head coach. They've mastered
- 10:46Speaker 4: this ten am Sunday start thing for the last decade
- 10:49Speaker 4: and a half. But Pete Carroll fixed that and Mike
- 10:51Speaker 4: McDonald has stayed on that. So there's a lot of
- 10:55Speaker 4: intangible reasons that they feel like they can turn this around.
- 10:58Speaker 4: Just fun. It really comes out the fundamentals. Regardless of
- 11:01Speaker 4: where they play, they need to tackle, they need to
- 11:03Speaker 4: take care of the ball, and they need to run
- 11:05Speaker 4: the ball.
- 11:06Speaker 7: Well, is it fundamentals that need to make sure they
- 11:09Speaker 7: continue to grow on some of the of the you know,
- 11:13Speaker 7: positive running things that they had against the Buccaneers. Is
- 11:17Speaker 7: it fundamentals? Is it attitude? Is it more play calling?
- 11:21Speaker 7: Is it you know, mixing things up? What is it
- 11:23Speaker 7: that they need to do to continue blossoming that run
- 11:25Speaker 7: game We saw a little bit better in the Buccaneer game.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Well, usually it's blocking and targeting the blocks and timing
- 11:32Speaker 4: them running back with the blockers at the right time
- 11:35Speaker 4: and not having penetration in the backfield. That ruins those
- 11:38Speaker 4: blocking timing with the running backs because the running back
- 11:40Speaker 4: has to reroute themself those kinds of things. So everyone
- 11:44Speaker 4: has to do today that the cliches come out when
- 11:46Speaker 4: you talk about the running game and what a need.
- 11:48Speaker 4: But targeting is what they keep talking about. What's targeting.
- 11:51Speaker 4: It's when you're supposed to block the defensive tackle and
- 11:54Speaker 4: his inside shoulder to move him out of the b
- 11:56Speaker 4: orc gap. You buck him on the inside shoulder, not
- 11:58Speaker 4: on his chest or not on his uide shoulder. Because
- 12:01Speaker 4: he blocked him on his chesters outside shoulder, he's in
- 12:03Speaker 4: the hole. The running backs running to things like that.
- 12:06Speaker 4: And of course the defense attackle just doesn't stand there
- 12:09Speaker 4: like a post and get blocked. He's got jobs to
- 12:12Speaker 4: do too, and he's slanting and moving. And so the
- 12:16Speaker 4: targeting is what they keep talking about. And with targeting
- 12:19Speaker 4: comes meshing in the running game, with the running back
- 12:21Speaker 4: and the block being synchronized at the right time in
- 12:24Speaker 4: the right place. I thought it was interesting yesterday Jackson
- 12:27Speaker 4: Smith and jigg was talking about receiving and he said,
- 12:30Speaker 4: but he could say this for football. He said, the
- 12:33Speaker 4: game really boils down to being in the right place
- 12:35Speaker 4: at the right time. And if you think about that,
- 12:38Speaker 4: it's true the fenders that ball find them receivers would
- 12:44Speaker 4: the quarterback throws it at the right time and the
- 12:46Speaker 4: receivers in the right place to get the ball the
- 12:47Speaker 4: running back at the hole when it's blocked at the
- 12:50Speaker 4: right time. Smith and Jigba. By the way, I've wrote
- 12:53Speaker 4: stored the distribute about him this morning. He's second in
- 12:56Speaker 4: the league, first in the league in some metrics like
- 12:59Speaker 4: you are and yards per pattern and all these other things.
- 13:03Speaker 4: But he's talking about how he changed his off season
- 13:06Speaker 4: program to get stronger. He wanted to be bigger and
- 13:09Speaker 4: stronger muscle wise in the legs and in the arms,
- 13:12Speaker 4: to be more explosive in his routes and to be
- 13:15Speaker 4: better yards. After the catch, he went back to his
- 13:18Speaker 4: trainer he found right before the draft in Pensacola. Floor
- 13:20Speaker 4: got named Jonathan Jones, who he swears by, and he
- 13:23Speaker 4: said he got added some weight. He's trimmed back down
- 13:26Speaker 4: wight wise to about two hundred pounds, he said, in
- 13:28Speaker 4: one ninety seven to two oho two. He's listened to
- 13:30Speaker 4: one ninety seven, but he plays more like two hundred
- 13:32Speaker 4: or so. And then he also said that he really
- 13:35Speaker 4: goes back to his baseball roots. That would be timely
- 13:38Speaker 4: thing to put in a story is that he catches
- 13:41Speaker 4: the ball over his shoulder like a shortstop because he
- 13:43Speaker 4: used to play shortstop growing up in the Dallas Fort
- 13:46Speaker 4: Worth area, and especially going back on balls, he said
- 13:49Speaker 4: he still regrets running over a couple of center fielders
- 13:52Speaker 4: he played with because he was just so hell bent
- 13:54Speaker 4: on catching balls over his shoulder into the outfield. And
- 13:57Speaker 4: that's when you see some of his catches he's closed
- 14:01Speaker 4: up on in times. He had another one against Winfield
- 14:03Speaker 4: against the Bucks where he judges the ball in the
- 14:06Speaker 4: air over his shoulder and looks over his shoulder in
- 14:08Speaker 4: the justice running accordingly to still make the catch. He
- 14:11Speaker 4: credits himself in baseball for that. But Smith and Jig,
- 14:15Speaker 4: But yeah, he's he's becoming a national star. Him and Abuka.
- 14:18Speaker 4: How they went hi man a man the other day
- 14:21Speaker 4: against Tampa Pey. It got a lot of national attention.
- 14:24Speaker 6: All right, well, you only got time for your key,
- 14:25Speaker 6: and I don't mean to lead you to one, but man,
- 14:28Speaker 6: it's hard for me to pick anything else but Mike
- 14:30Speaker 6: McDonald finding his pass rush again. Trevor Lawrence six touchdowns
- 14:35Speaker 6: this year, five interceptions. I mean, he's thirtieth and rating
- 14:38Speaker 6: amongst quarterbacks, so it's not like he's had some big
- 14:41Speaker 6: turnaround statistically. But the one thing that they've done better
- 14:45Speaker 6: job of is protecting a guy that feels like he's
- 14:47Speaker 6: spent his entire career with his back on the ground.
- 14:50Speaker 6: He's only been sacked six times this year, so they've
- 14:53Speaker 6: protected him pretty well. And the Seahawks suddenly have lost
- 14:56Speaker 6: their pass rush. Is there any bigger key than that
- 15:00Speaker 6: sacking Trevor Lawrence to this victory on Sunday?
- 15:04Speaker 4: Well, Lawrence gets the ball out really quickly. I mean,
- 15:06Speaker 4: everyone in the league does now, but Lawrence in particular.
- 15:09Speaker 4: They throw a lot of short routes. Liam Cohen has
- 15:11Speaker 4: him running a lot of quick stuff getting the ball
- 15:14Speaker 4: out at the end and some of the other speed
- 15:16Speaker 4: guys outside in space. So that's when tackling comes in.
- 15:19Speaker 4: So they may not have big sack numbers on Sunday,
- 15:22Speaker 4: but they could still affect a quarterback more than they
- 15:24Speaker 4: did Baker Mayfield. Lawrence not quite as elusive and a
- 15:27Speaker 4: decisive a runner as Mayfield is, so tackle when they
- 15:33Speaker 4: threw it. Throw a three yard pass, make it a
- 15:35Speaker 4: three yard game instead of a ten yard game. They
- 15:38Speaker 4: did too many ten yard twelve yard gains out of
- 15:40Speaker 4: two and three yard passes against Tampa Bay. That's the
- 15:43Speaker 4: focus for them. I wouldn't expect big sack numbers, especially
- 15:47Speaker 4: not this unit and not against this quarterback and how
- 15:50Speaker 4: quickly they throw, but just to bring the guys down
- 15:53Speaker 4: when they get boy MafA is going to get a
- 15:55Speaker 4: sack someday. I guess it will be for the Seahawks.
- 15:58Speaker 4: I don't know that they need production out of him,
- 16:02Speaker 4: and not just in the pass rush, but he had
- 16:04Speaker 4: some mistackles against Tampa Bay as well. That their teams
- 16:08Speaker 4: are running at him on the edge. I'd expect to
- 16:12Speaker 4: steady dat at ten on Sunday. Tackling. It's fundamental. It's
- 16:17Speaker 4: key for three yard games, to say three yard games
- 16:19Speaker 4: on Saday. I think that's the key to the game.
- 16:22Speaker 4: I think Seattle's offense can move the ball on Jacksonville,
- 16:25Speaker 4: both in the run game and passing the ball with
- 16:27Speaker 4: how Sam darn was playing, And I think eventually they're
- 16:30Speaker 4: going to outscore them in the fourth quarter when something
- 16:32Speaker 4: like twenty seven to seventeen.
- 16:34Speaker 2: All right, sounds great.
- 16:35Speaker 6: I hope you pull off the rare, rarely achieved Jacksonville
- 16:40Speaker 6: to Toronto back to Seattle road trip.
- 16:44Speaker 4: Thanks to Eric Canada. I didn't even know that route existed,
- 16:47Speaker 4: but no I know, so, yeah, I may pull it
- 16:49Speaker 4: off this for the douvelty, but I may see you
- 16:52Speaker 4: in the former sky to him as you guys get there. Well,
- 16:55Speaker 4: we shall see.
- 16:56Speaker 6: We haven't even had a discussion about it. We don't
- 16:58Speaker 6: even know how we're going to proceed.
- 16:59Speaker 2: We believe me.
- 17:00Speaker 6: We were gobsmacked to find out we were going to Detroit.
- 17:02Speaker 6: So I don't know what the plan is going.
- 17:05Speaker 4: Do you kind of just chuck and gag and your
- 17:07Speaker 4: way into that so you can chuck your driveway across
- 17:09Speaker 4: the border into Canada.
- 17:10Speaker 2: I'm sure, but it sounds great hanging out with but yeah.
- 17:14Speaker 4: That's city in amazing leagues. I love it there.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I love the idea of hanging out in Toronto with
- 17:18Speaker 2: Greg Bell and watching some baseball games.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Hopefully we can touch a great stake go rooting for
- 17:25Speaker 4: the Pacific Northwest to get their way tonight.
- 17:27Speaker 6: Thank you, Greg, Thank you, all right, safe travels, Greg Bell,
- 17:30Speaker 6: our Seahawks inside of joining us right here on Chuck
- 17:33Speaker 6: and Buck in the morning. Sorry, coming up next, we
- 17:35Speaker 6: do play Factor fiction at seven thirty five BUCkies picked today, but.
- 17:40Speaker 2: More on game number five tonight.
- 17:42Speaker 6: And everybody's talking about pitching, let's talk about offense. Sports
- 17:45Speaker 6: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. A lot of the
- 17:48Speaker 6: picture talk so far, and I know it's.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Driving me up a wall. Yeah, I mean pictures are important, Yeah,
- 17:54Speaker 2: they're just not cool. Okay, all right, be a weird
- 17:56Speaker 2: game without a pick.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about some offense and offensive decisions. I
- 18:02Speaker 6: think I know where you're going to go here, but
- 18:05Speaker 6: at least we can have an adult conversation about it.
- 18:08Speaker 7: Garver or Canzone. Tonight against Schooble, I would go Kanzone.
- 18:15Speaker 7: I mean I would go Kanzone simply because you know
- 18:17Speaker 7: he's going. Yes, of course he's definitely going Garver. I
- 18:21Speaker 7: would go forward before I go Garver, but that's not
- 18:24Speaker 7: gonna happen.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Or Revos.
- 18:27Speaker 7: You mentioned Revos, but if you're just those two, no,
- 18:30Speaker 7: they're not going to They're gonna go Garver. They're paying
- 18:32Speaker 7: him some decent money and he has been. He's come
- 18:35Speaker 7: up with some big knocks, like three of them in
- 18:38Speaker 7: two years. And you know, I suppose I understand the reasoning.
- 18:44Speaker 7: He's veteran, he probably will have a calmer heartbeat. But
- 18:48Speaker 7: against Scooble, you don't necessarily want to be that calm.
- 18:51Speaker 7: You've got to go attack him. He's attacking you. You're
- 18:54Speaker 7: either the predator or the prey. And the reason I
- 18:57Speaker 7: can't stand Garver is he basically is okay with me
- 19:00Speaker 7: the prey.
- 19:00Speaker 2: He's okay.
- 19:01Speaker 7: We're just like, well, I'll be fine if I just
- 19:03Speaker 7: battle for a walk here, like no, go do something
- 19:07Speaker 7: up there for crying out loud. And then I kind
- 19:09Speaker 7: of mentioned the splits yesterday and Canzone. Canzone is far
- 19:14Speaker 7: more dangerous. Now he could look absolutely silly against a
- 19:18Speaker 7: guy like Scooball, well, so could Garver. And there's splits.
- 19:21Speaker 7: Lefties against lefties. Can Zones are better period, There's no
- 19:25Speaker 7: there's I mean, they're not gonna do it. They're gonna
- 19:28Speaker 7: go Garver and it's gonna bug the hell out of me.
- 19:30Speaker 7: And Okay, I guess hopefully we can get to schoobl
- 19:33Speaker 7: out of there in five or maybe six, and then
- 19:36Speaker 7: we can get him out of the game when the
- 19:37Speaker 7: well we got.
- 19:38Speaker 6: Him out in five or six, it's not gonna come
- 19:40Speaker 6: down to Garver or Canzone at that point. Well, if
- 19:42Speaker 6: we've gotten Schooble out after five innings, it probably means
- 19:45Speaker 6: we're up six to.
- 19:46Speaker 2: One, and then Garver and Canzone can be in.
- 19:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:50Speaker 7: I know, no, and I'll just still have a happy
- 19:53Speaker 7: moment in the seventh inning when they pinch it for Garver.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Last time we face them faced Schooble.
- 19:58Speaker 6: Josh Naylor hit sixth, so the lefty lefty thing, but
- 20:01Speaker 6: he's coming off a game in which he had three hits,
- 20:04Speaker 6: his first three hits of the series.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Do you move him up in the order?
- 20:08Speaker 7: No, No, probably not, Probably still keep Polonko there just
- 20:12Speaker 7: it's I mean, because you're talking about possibly, I mean,
- 20:14Speaker 7: you have to look at the the more likely scenarios
- 20:18Speaker 7: that he's probably going to go through the order at
- 20:20Speaker 7: least twice, if not three times, and you're hoping that
- 20:23Speaker 7: you can do some damage against him if you get
- 20:26Speaker 7: him to where it's that you got two guys on
- 20:29Speaker 7: there's two outs.
- 20:29Speaker 2: You want to have a rity up there. You want
- 20:32Speaker 2: to have a switch hitter, and Polonco up there probably
- 20:34Speaker 2: before him. Well, but that he could move up to fifth. Oh,
- 20:38Speaker 2: if you're having Polonco hitting fourth, you're.
- 20:40Speaker 6: Saying, well, frankly, I mean what I'm I'm asking you
- 20:44Speaker 6: a question. What I'm saying then is I would really
- 20:48Speaker 6: entertain leading off Polanco tonight. And I realize that's a
- 20:51Speaker 6: bit of a shakeup and you haven't hit that way
- 20:54Speaker 6: in Game number four that way at all, but scool,
- 20:58Speaker 6: I mean, Polanco's it's real five three forty five on
- 21:01Speaker 6: base eight eighty eight ops against left handers, all left
- 21:05Speaker 6: handers this season. I wouldn't mind just starting the game
- 21:08Speaker 6: off with we're going to have Polanco up as many
- 21:11Speaker 6: times as we can against Schoogble since he owned you
- 21:14Speaker 6: the last time we faced you. I wouldn't mind going Polonko,
- 21:17Speaker 6: cal Julio Naylor, a Rosarina Gino, and then fill out
- 21:24Speaker 6: your rest of your lineup from that point. I wouldn't
- 21:26Speaker 6: mind shaking it up a little bit. I want Polonko
- 21:28Speaker 6: staring him straight in the eyes on the very first
- 21:30Speaker 6: pitch he throws tonight.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Yeah, uh well, I don't.
- 21:32Speaker 7: I don't mind that idea because they do like the
- 21:34Speaker 7: grittiness I'll say. I mean, they're not going to switch
- 21:36Speaker 7: it up like that as much as that I hear
- 21:39Speaker 7: what your idea is. It's a Roserina and a Rosarina
- 21:41Speaker 7: that when they played him the last time, I mean,
- 21:44Speaker 7: he let off the game with a knock against him.
- 21:46Speaker 7: If a Rosarina can we can get a little bit
- 21:48Speaker 7: of a version of the playoff of ros Arena that
- 21:50Speaker 7: we've seen him do before.
- 21:52Speaker 2: I'm still okay with him starting that thing off.
- 21:54Speaker 6: All right, More preview coming your way in a moment.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Factor Fiction, now, though, where's that to go? Glad with us?
- 22:00Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
- 22:04Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
- 22:09Speaker 1: by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day feels
- 22:13Speaker 1: Lucky Factor fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
- 22:17Speaker 1: three KJR FM.
- 22:35Speaker 2: All right, a shot at one thousand dollars right now.
- 22:37Speaker 2: It is Friday, so this is the last day.
- 22:40Speaker 6: This isn't the last chance you'll have all day to
- 22:43Speaker 6: get into that drawing for one thousand dollars from Lucky
- 22:46Speaker 6: Eagle Casino and Hotel, but this is the last day
- 22:49Speaker 6: that we're going to do it. So this is the
- 22:51Speaker 6: last pick you get from the morning show, and it
- 22:53Speaker 6: is Bucky's pick today.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Where are we going to? I'm gonna go college and.
- 22:58Speaker 7: We got an undefeated team going at home against Alabama.
- 23:03Speaker 7: Alabama is still favored by three. I think Missouri as
- 23:06Speaker 7: good as they've been. I don't think they've faced anybody
- 23:09Speaker 7: like Alabama. Alabama's righted the ship after that Week one loss,
- 23:12Speaker 7: and I'm gonna take Alabama minus three at Missouri.
- 23:16Speaker 6: I am a little interested in why it is only
- 23:20Speaker 6: three points, and Vegas usually knows something.
- 23:23Speaker 2: That's one of those that sticks out to me.
- 23:25Speaker 6: I was just hearing some analysis this morning from Matt Simms,
- 23:28Speaker 6: who sounds just like Chris Simms, and neither one of
- 23:31Speaker 6: them sound at all like Phil Simms.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Interesting. I don't understand that.
- 23:34Speaker 6: But he was making the suggestion that we're going to
- 23:38Speaker 6: know the name, and I don't even know the name.
- 23:41Speaker 6: It's the running back for Missouri. We're going to know
- 23:44Speaker 6: his name after this game, that he might enter the
- 23:47Speaker 6: Heisman conversation.
- 23:48Speaker 2: That he is the real deal.
- 23:49Speaker 6: So there's a little bit of hype going around the Zoo.
- 23:52Speaker 6: But yeah, it seems like Alabama would be favored by
- 23:55Speaker 6: more in this game. Missouri is not exactly a place
- 23:59Speaker 6: known for Well, that's an intimidating football environment, right, Oh,
- 24:04Speaker 6: that's where that's where champions go to die.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Tiger Den. I don't know what you call it. Ye
- 24:09Speaker 2: call it the Tiger's Den. Columbia Missouri. Oh my gosh,
- 24:13Speaker 2: Brad Pitt went there.
- 24:15Speaker 7: His hair, it's Ahmed Hardy. I think he's leading the
- 24:18Speaker 7: country in rushing right now. I think that's why. And
- 24:21Speaker 7: yet I think that who they've went up against. Their
- 24:24Speaker 7: biggest win I think was South Carolina and they won
- 24:27Speaker 7: by nine, and then they came back and whopped somebody
- 24:30Speaker 7: alf UMass or something by like thirty or forty points
- 24:33Speaker 7: or something. I think it's just the hype that goes
- 24:35Speaker 7: with that kid running. They're scoring a bunch of points
- 24:38Speaker 7: and they're five and zero. I just don't think they've
- 24:40Speaker 7: played anybody that's up to the caliber of Alabama.
- 24:42Speaker 6: All Right, Bucky's gonna go with a Crimson tide roll
- 24:45Speaker 6: tad in this one, even though they're giving three points
- 24:48Speaker 6: to the Missouri Tigers, a home underdog that is undefeated
- 24:53Speaker 6: in ranked fourteenth in America right now. Alabama has been
- 24:57Speaker 6: on a bit of a roll.
- 24:58Speaker 2: So what do you ake?
- 24:58Speaker 6: What do you think of Bucky's pick? It's time for
- 25:00Speaker 6: you to lay it on the line right now. If
- 25:02Speaker 6: you agree with the selection, you're gonna text fact to
- 25:04Speaker 6: four nine four five one. If you disagree, you text
- 25:07Speaker 6: fiction to four nine four to five to one.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Right now, one person in their car is like, Oh,
- 25:12Speaker 2: I get it. Factor Fiction Fact to four nine four
- 25:16Speaker 2: five to one. Fiction to four nine four five one.
- 25:19Speaker 6: If you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
- 25:21Speaker 6: for one thousand dollars in cash, and we will hold
- 25:23Speaker 6: that drawing after we get today's round of Factor Fiction completed,
- 25:29Speaker 6: and ten thousand dollars could be yours.
- 25:31Speaker 2: If you are the best Factor Fiction.
- 25:32Speaker 6: Player of twenty twenty five, which means you have to
- 25:35Speaker 6: get the most right, not the highest winning percentage. You
- 25:38Speaker 6: have to get the most right, which means you've got
- 25:41Speaker 6: to play all the time with us here at KJR.
- 25:44Speaker 6: So once again, Bucky's gonna go Alabama giving three to
- 25:49Speaker 6: Maszoo at Maszoo.
- 25:51Speaker 2: That means the Crimson Tide have to win by four
- 25:54Speaker 2: points or more.
- 25:55Speaker 6: On the road for him to be right. Fact to
- 25:57Speaker 6: four nine, four to five one. If you agree, fiction,
- 26:01Speaker 6: if you disagree. It's all brought to you by the
- 26:03Speaker 6: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel where every day feels lucky.
- 26:09Speaker 6: We will talk more college football coming up a little
- 26:13Speaker 6: bit later on in the radio program, and your next
- 26:16Speaker 6: opportunity to play Factor fiction comes at eleven thirty five
- 26:19Speaker 6: with MJ and with Chris coming up next, though more.
- 26:23Speaker 2: On Game five tonight.
- 26:25Speaker 6: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM, proud sponsor of
- 26:29Speaker 6: the Seahawks Distilled Unbobbled by fifth Generation, Ain't Austin, Texas
- 26:33Speaker 6: forty percent alcohol by volume saver responsibly And we will
- 26:38Speaker 6: be talking some football here today on a football Friday.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Hugh Millen's going to be joining us today for X's
- 26:43Speaker 6: and O's at nine o'clock. Mike Holmern, we haven't chatted
- 26:45Speaker 6: with in a while. We'll be with us today at
- 26:47Speaker 6: nine thirty. We'll talk about the Seahawks and Jaguars. We'll
- 26:49Speaker 6: also slip in a little bit about college football as well.
- 26:52Speaker 6: Big night for Jed Fish and the Dogs out on Montlake.
- 26:56Speaker 6: Softy is just so beaten up by the fact that
- 26:59Speaker 6: he's going to be in two places. Have to he
- 27:01Speaker 6: can't be in two places.
- 27:02Speaker 2: At one time.
- 27:04Speaker 6: So he's gonna be there with a honks starting at
- 27:06Speaker 6: two o'clock today and then for the entire game and
- 27:09Speaker 6: the postgame show.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I believe his heart will be in a jar
- 27:14Speaker 2: and I will have.
- 27:14Speaker 6: To carry around with me tonight out at T Mobile
- 27:18Speaker 6: and have to check in and feed it little snacks
- 27:21Speaker 6: and crackers and you know, grams of nourishment, and so
- 27:26Speaker 6: I'll take on that responsibility for him. But man, the
- 27:30Speaker 6: lid's gonna blow off of this thing potentially tonight. I mean,
- 27:34Speaker 6: think about all the stress, all the anxiety, all the worry,
- 27:37Speaker 6: all the excitement, all the adrenaline, everything that we have
- 27:40Speaker 6: had this season being poured into this one game, this
- 27:44Speaker 6: three hour moment that's gonna take place on our soil,
- 27:48Speaker 6: not in front of stands that are empty, but every
- 27:51Speaker 6: single seat is gonna be filled here tonight to watch
- 27:54Speaker 6: the Mariners take on the Detroit Tigers. Winner goes on
- 27:58Speaker 6: to the al set and the loser goes home. For
- 28:02Speaker 6: goodness sake, I mean, you can't get any better than this,
- 28:05Speaker 6: getting cut it with a knife.
- 28:07Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean it's just the all of the
- 28:09Speaker 7: angst and the anxiety and whatnot. It's I mean, for
- 28:14Speaker 7: the nine years I've been doing this job. I mean,
- 28:17Speaker 7: I can't tell you how many times I would hear
- 28:19Speaker 7: people say, well, hopefully Americas are just good through like August,
- 28:22Speaker 7: you know, just get us to the NFL season, right, Well,
- 28:25Speaker 7: they've done that, and then some right finally broke through
- 28:28Speaker 7: and knocked the Astros off, won the division. Then they
- 28:31Speaker 7: even clinching that number two spot to where they advance
- 28:34Speaker 7: to this Division series. And yet they're good enough that
- 28:38Speaker 7: it feels like if they don't get past this round
- 28:40Speaker 7: then it will be disappointing.
- 28:42Speaker 2: I'll be disappointed. Yeah, and yet this has still been
- 28:45Speaker 2: a fun ride.
- 28:46Speaker 7: I mean, our friend Dustin Nickerson, his little tweet I
- 28:49Speaker 7: thought was hilarious. He was talking about how you know what,
- 28:52Speaker 7: regardless how tonight goes, this has been a fun year
- 28:55Speaker 7: with Cal and Julio and you know, the robust catch
- 28:59Speaker 7: and all of these different each hero in the Hall
- 29:01Speaker 7: of Fame. It's been wonderful. And yet if they lose,
- 29:05Speaker 7: I will find I will spiral into darkness that I
- 29:08Speaker 7: may never emerge. I mean, that is the epitome of
- 29:11Speaker 7: Seattle fans. It's like, Okay, they've been patient, or I shouldn't.
- 29:17Speaker 7: I don't know if it's been patient. We've had to
- 29:19Speaker 7: wait a long time for this team to get to
- 29:22Speaker 7: the playoffs and then do something in the playoffs and
- 29:24Speaker 7: have never gotten even to the big dance, which is
- 29:27Speaker 7: the World Series.
- 29:28Speaker 2: And so I think everybody's like, come on, my hopes
- 29:30Speaker 2: are so high.
- 29:31Speaker 7: You've done so well to get me this hyped up
- 29:34Speaker 7: about it, and now we lose a game that now
- 29:37Speaker 7: forces a Game five. But like I said yesterday, that's
- 29:40Speaker 7: gonna make it all the much sweeter. I mean, you
- 29:42Speaker 7: have to do it at home. You get to do
- 29:44Speaker 7: it in front of a sold out crowd that is
- 29:47Speaker 7: starved for your success. And so I mean, we're all
- 29:50Speaker 7: gonna be there it's gonna be a blast. I mean,
- 29:52Speaker 7: obviously it could. We could walk out of there just
- 29:54Speaker 7: being absolutely demoralized. I mean, you know, just hours from now,
- 29:57Speaker 7: our season could be over, or we could be heading
- 30:00Speaker 7: to a seven game series against Toronto took with a
- 30:03Speaker 7: chance to.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Go to the World Series.
- 30:05Speaker 9: Oh maybe almost puke, But I do think I fully agree,
- 30:10Speaker 9: because it is this anticipation of this has been so good.
- 30:14Speaker 9: Please don't disappoint us, but it's like this this week
- 30:17Speaker 9: especially has been the ultimate roller coaster, like the biggest size,
- 30:21Speaker 9: the biggest lows, because those losses just hurt so much
- 30:25Speaker 9: more because of all of the expectations that we all have.
- 30:30Speaker 9: And I do think, yeah, fitting that we're having this
- 30:32Speaker 9: game five. I said the other day, we are due
- 30:35Speaker 9: for another Alds memory. I want something. I don't want
- 30:40Speaker 9: to get rid of the double. I just want something else,
- 30:43Speaker 9: you know, something else to add on. Yeah, we need
- 30:46Speaker 9: something to add on to the double. Let's have it
- 30:49Speaker 9: happen tonight and it Yeah, it's a sold out crowd.
- 30:51Speaker 9: It's a standing room only, sold out crowd. Oh, it's
- 30:54Speaker 9: going to be It is going to be insane.
- 30:56Speaker 6: Unbelievable, and nobody's gonna be able to match our home crowd,
- 31:00Speaker 6: especially after if you can get through this game tonight.
- 31:03Speaker 2: I mean, I can't even imagine what's going to happen
- 31:05Speaker 2: to the city for the next round. So yeah, it
- 31:10Speaker 2: absolutely is on.
- 31:11Speaker 6: And I thought Dick Fane in our round table right
- 31:14Speaker 6: before the playoffs started brought up a really good point
- 31:16Speaker 6: because I think you do have to divide it into two.
- 31:19Speaker 6: I think it has been a successful season to this point,
- 31:23Speaker 6: but there's a difference between a successful season and a
- 31:27Speaker 6: then a successful postseason. All right, I'm gonna go ahead
- 31:30Speaker 6: and put that in this category over here. It's been
- 31:33Speaker 6: a successful, memorable year and a lot of good things
- 31:36Speaker 6: have happened this season, so I've already filed that away.
- 31:40Speaker 6: But it does get separated, and it doesn't mean that
- 31:42Speaker 6: this season doesn't end in crushing disappointment tonight. If you
- 31:45Speaker 6: do not get through this there's a successful regular season,
- 31:48Speaker 6: and then there is having a team with World Series
- 31:51Speaker 6: potential maybe to win the whole thing, not making it
- 31:54Speaker 6: out of one round of the playoffs, and that would
- 31:57Speaker 6: be crushingly disappointing, and in order for it to be
- 32:01Speaker 6: a successful year for the entire twenty twenty five to
- 32:06Speaker 6: feel like it was a success.
- 32:08Speaker 2: We have to at least get pasted tonight. We have
- 32:11Speaker 2: to win this game tonight.
- 32:13Speaker 6: Then the American League Championship Series we can fill our
- 32:16Speaker 6: you know, you know, our hope chess with all sorts
- 32:20Speaker 6: of memories and knickknacks from what could happen over the
- 32:22Speaker 6: course of the seven game series with the Toronto Blue Jays.
- 32:25Speaker 6: And if you don't make it past that, I think
- 32:27Speaker 6: everybody would kind of feel not satisfied, but full, like
- 32:32Speaker 6: you know, walking away from the dinner table like that
- 32:35Speaker 6: was that was a good meal.
- 32:36Speaker 2: That was a good meal.
- 32:36Speaker 6: But tonight, I think the hunger would even grow. I
- 32:39Speaker 6: think you feel starved if you don't get through tonight.
- 32:42Speaker 6: So it's it's just enormous.
- 32:44Speaker 4: It just is.
- 32:45Speaker 2: It is just enormous. I know that the players realize that.
- 32:48Speaker 6: I think they've kept it in great perspective the entire time,
