  Speaker 1: performances in a decade. But he got to see it
• 0:59

  Speaker 1: Peevee joins us right here on Chuck and Buck.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: How are you, sir, Chuck too kind? I'm very well, buddy,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: excited to speak with you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what was your impression. Did you have a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: good time when you were in Seattle this weekend? And
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: certainly you got to watch us play bad baseball here
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. I'll tell you that much.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I did watch some tough Seattle baseball. I will tell
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you this, since the year of two thousand and two,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I've been coming to your great city. I'm in love
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: with the city. I got to walk around and get
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: re acquainted. The weather, as you know, was glorious for
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the weekend. So yes, I love being back in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: great Northwest and your team. I certainly not firing on
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: all cylinders. But after that series, you bounce back. You
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: take two or three from the White Sox. That's a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: good young team who's playing well. You know. Now you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: go to Kansas City and we got the A's coming up.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: When we can go max some ground up in division.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: At the end of the six game road trip.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Roland Smith drive you nuts at all because I have
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: apologize for our.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Rhino was beautiful. I called it a few times in
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: prep for that because he has, you know, he has
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the experience of the game call. That was my first
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: time in person getting to call a game there for NBC.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So you saw my first one, Chuck.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, Well I think you did just great. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I'd like to get your thoughts because I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: know you're working there at MLB Network. So you've been
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: talking about every team this baseball season, despite the poor
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: start that our baseball team is off to and despite
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the bad baseball you watch them play over the weekend
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: against the Padres. What are your overall impressions of this
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: team going forward and what would you say to our
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: fan base here in Seattle about a rough start during
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the course of one hundred and sixty two game schedule.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think if anybody knows, it's your fan base,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: that the season is ebbs and flows. He even last
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Tears run wasn't all just great. There was times, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: outside cal Rawley's just historic season where things didn't you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: didn't know how they were. My general take first third
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: through the season, the pitching staff is still the strength
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: of this team, and we know this, but they've all
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: taken a little step, not backwards, but but they just
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: haven't been quite as good as we've seen George and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Logan and Brian wu in years past. I think they
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: will catch stride, and their starters are really what we
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: hang our hat on in Seattle. We gotta get munyos
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: in the back of that bullpen brash and getting those
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: some of those guys fire back will make a big
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: difference in getting a ball to him. So I still
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: think your pitching staff is just fine. I like it
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: better than anybody out West for sure. Now, lineup wise,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it looks it looks a little light because of some
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of the injuries. When cal Rawley's not in the middle
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of your lineup, you're missing in a press and they
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: just can't be replaced. I don't care how he was playing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: It's Cayl Rawley, and we saw that we wrote his back,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you know, almost to a World Series last year. So
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: getting him back and getting him somewhat going, I think
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: this is a blessing in disguise to keep him healthy,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: give him kind of a fresh start of the season,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: so to speak. But the lineup's just got to make
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit more contact. Chuck, I believe you did
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: not make it to the World Series and Toronto did
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: because of their bats. Their bats were a little more
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: contact driven. They put some balls in play that made
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the difference, and I'd like to see your team have
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a little less swing in this.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Jake Peevey is with us former psy Young Award winner.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I would like to ask who of our Mariners starters
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: reminds you of yourself? I think I have an idea.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I wrote it down who I think you might say,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but which of our Mariners pitchers reminds you of Jake Peevey?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Well, it's Brian wu For me, I just loved the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: fastball sinker.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's how I wrote down.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thinker. I was a big proponent of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: using the sinker. You know. I think like I just
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: talked to some guys here about facing Garrett Cole tonight
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and they were talking about it and they were talking, well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you know, they were asking about velocity, and I was like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: it's back, it's all the way back, ninety seven, touch
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in ninety nine, And they say, yeah, but it's straight.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Hitters don't care how hard it is. If it is
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: straight and they know it's coming, they can hit it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: What they do have a problem with, even if they
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: know it's coming is a little bit of late movement
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: there in that last five foot before it gets to him,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and those balls can get off the barrel quick outs.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: When you see the innings that Wu has been able
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to do, the six innings plus stretch that he was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: on there for a while until last year, you'd do
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that because there's some quickouts, but there's also swinging this.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So Brian Wu again and he hasn't quite been the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: guy that we've all seen. George Kirby wasn't quite the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: guy on Sunday, but he was just a couple of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: pitches away from being a really good day. So I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: think those guys are gonna round into form and carry
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you on to a division title. Yeah, unless these ads
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: can figure out how to get some of that pitching.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Sevarino was great for them last night. I just don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: think they had the pitching to outlast you guys.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Do you see Wu's upside as Cy Young? I mean,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you want a Cy Young and he reminds you a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: little bit of yourself. I mean, we've got a league
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of scooballs and Freeds and all sorts of excellent pitching
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in the American League. The Schlitzler looks like he's the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: real deal with the Yankees. But do you see Brian
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: having that kind of upside or anybody else on the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Mariners rotation, I do. I think you've got guys that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: project all the way up top. I think you can
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: see Logan Gilbert at times in the past few years.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Project is a real, real number one. But Brian wu
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: for me, when he is right and healthy, he is
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the best that you have to offer stuff wise, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I believe, yes he can round into form. And you
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: know the ballpark that you guys play into being a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a bit bigger than most it it gets guys in
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the strike zone, and I think Brian could even take
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: steps forward. But yes, he is a cy Young Award
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: contender and winner when he puts it all together from
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: start to finish.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Jake Pevey our guest here on Chuck and Buck in
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the Morning here on this Friday, talking some baseball. He's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: with the MLB Network and of course a long successful
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: career in Major League Baseball. And I'm guessing you were
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: never asked to do a piggyback game with another starting
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: pitcher in your career, told beforehand that you're gonna go
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: four and then we're gonna let Chris Sale go five.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing you never experienced that in your career and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering what you thought of our Tuesday experiment to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: try it with our overcrowded starting rotation, putting Miller and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Castillo in the same game, with the idea that they
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: both work a chunk amount of the game.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You know what, I wish I would have seen the game,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: but I did not see that particular game, only saw
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the highlights of it. And again, I think, you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and look, I'm just speaking off the cuff here. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: think Castillo would probably be the odd man out when
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you've got you know, Emerson Hancock punching out fourteen guys
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: in seven innings or so. That is there's no way
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: this guy's going anywhere. That buys you some runway and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you got to stay right and so to have six
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: guys and I know it seems too many, Castillo being
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the veteran guy that you want to get going. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: when I saw him come out of the pen and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong, I saw a little bit
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: different edge from that guy. And he came out, had
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: some strikeouts and he showed that, oh gosh, this guy
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: were used to starting the stretching him out. But how
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: do you win World Series? How did Dodgers end up
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: being on the top of the world. The two teams
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I won with those starters have to go to the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: bullpen in the postseason. So why not start with that
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: experiment now because you're crowded up top and you'll see
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you who can do it best. And again, when Steele
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: came out, it didn't seem to be that big of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a problem, and I actually liked some of the swag
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I saw from him.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Would it have been a problem for you? I mean,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: let's put yourself. You were a Bryce Miller typing up
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and comer at one point, and then you are also
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: a veteran who's you knew that your game was fading
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit toward the end. So if your manager
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: would have come to you in that situation, how would
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you have embraced or perhaps protested, being used in that situation?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Would it wouldn't have been no protest? That's that's first
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and foremost. It's a team game first, and you have
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to bow to what the team needs and ego it
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: has no place inside a clubhouse. It's going to create problems,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and the best teams understand that and navigate that well.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: So look, I wouldn't have protested it. Again, it's just
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: what the team needs. And you wouldn't be in that
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: situation if you were doing what you wanted to do.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And so that's the way I at it. You're having
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: these conversations because of stuff hasn't went right. When it
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't go right, you just need to do what everybody
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: kind of knows where they stand and on the team,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and you do what the team needs at that moment.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: And I truly think that Castillo is such a team guy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: He can even be a trade ship. I think other
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: teams might catch lightning in the bottle and maybe you
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: can address at the deadline with the depth of starters,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: you have some offense. If that's still the problem, Look
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: last year we certainly made huge splashes at the deadline,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a good problem to have, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I think Castillo again has handled it being the pro.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: He is just fine, albeit it is a little bit
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: different getting ready to come in those games. Yeah, as
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a reliever put to a starter and plenty of time.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's one thing that I learned about Jake
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Peevee since your time at MLB Network. I mean I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: remember watching you play and you kind of had an
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: edge to you and I didn't know. I didn't know
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: if you were or a nice guy. I mean, I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell. And I would imagine that's a compliment to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you because you probably wanted people to think when you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: were on the mound that you had an edge to you.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But since you've been at the MLB network, it is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: amazing the compliments that people give you about what a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: great teammate that you were. And so I say that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: not just to flatter you, but we not only have
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the Castillo situation where, trust me, Jake, he is beloved
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in that locker room and yet is kind of facing
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a demotion, And we also have a shortstop who's one
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of our leaders in JP Crawford. Not sure if you
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: know the story that's going on there, but he's he's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: basically self demoting himself from shortstop to third base, potentially
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: maybe on the bench eventually to make room for a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: young kid that may make the team better. And I'm
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: just curious, from your perspective, Number one, when an organization
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: comes to a leader and ask them to take a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: lesser role, what that does to the locker room. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: then secondarily, when somebody actually volunteers to do it, what
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: kind of impact could that have on the clubhouse.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Well, it just shows you who we had, who you
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: guys have in JP Crawford, what type of guy is
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and getting out in front of Hey, what could be
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a talking point I said earlier, The guys know where
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: they stand if he understands the future in Seattle and
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: what that looks like at shortstop in the present day.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And with a young man coming up and doing what
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: he did, I you know, got to watch him their
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: play in his first major league game. I saw the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: homer and he certainly looks not overmatched or overwhelmed by
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the moment. So again, I just think this is the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Mariners being the complete team. I love Dan Wilson, what
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he brings to the table, just the experience, the steady
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Eddie presence, and I think it rubs off on the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: other guys. And you're speaking of Castillo and JP Crawford
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: being your team leaders going through a bit of a
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: different time, but they're handling it with his absolute much grace,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: professionalism as you can. That's what it's about. That's why
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I believe in your Mariners and why they can get
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it going. Just got to get Brenda Donovan back and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: being the baseball player he is, and Cal back in
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the middle of this thing, and it looks a little
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: bit different now with Rayley going and a Rosa Raina
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: just not all out there at the same time, but coming.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Do you think we're in good hands with Dan Wilson.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I do. I like Dan, I really do. And I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: spent some time with him before that game. I played
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: against him, so I know what type of player he was,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and I know how cerebral he was behind the plate.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So I think that that's a huge part of why
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Cal Rawley is so good behind the plate and just
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: game management for a catcher who was who Dan was
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: as his playing career. I think it's utmost important that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: you have a leader like that who can really identify
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and get in with the pitching staff of this team
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and have some input or insight, because that is your strength.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Dan was known managing the pigeon staff down there at
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the offensive line up, doing what the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: offense is needed. But at the end of the day,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Dan was protecting the pigeon staff. I see that a
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: lot in his managerial style.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Jake Peevey is with us right here on Chuck and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Buck and normally my co host is Bucky Jacobson, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he played for the Mariners, and his mate, I'm here,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: are you here? Can you hear me? Yo? It might
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: have lost him. Hello, Jake, you're there? Might have lost him.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Looks like we did lose connection. Oh man, that's unfortunate.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I was about ready to wrap it up. I was
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: ready to bring it home, very strong finish there. But
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I think we lost Jake Peevey. If we can get
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: him back there, yeah, if they're good, If we can
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: get him back quickly, we can pick up the conversation.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But good stuff, good stuff from him here today. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, h to be up close and personal with
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the Mariners over the weekend lends a little bit of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: insight from an insight from an outsider's perspective. I think
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: we got you back, Jake.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that, Chuck, I don't know what happened.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't either. I'm about ready to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: get to the big finish. So I appreciate you calling back.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And I was just saying, my normal co host is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Bucky Jacobson, and he played for the Mariners as well.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And every time I bring up pitching velocity, he kind
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of rolls his eyes because he thinks it's exaggerated. He
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: thinks that these guys are all throwing one hundred and two,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred and three miles per hour. He thinks that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: guys throw that hard in his day as well. What's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: your thought, I mean, you want to say young and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know, probably mid nineties is what you topped out at.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: What do you think of all these pitchers, these Jacob
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Mizzeroski's who are sustaining one hundred and three miles per
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: hour for five innings of the uptick in velocity, are
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you buying it?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's yeah, yes, I'm buying it
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: to a certain degree. Do I think that technology has
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: gotten better and allowed us to read it maybe a
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: bit better? Yes, and so I do think these kids
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: are bigger, and they're stronger, They're able to train very specifically.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And the way you can watch a young pitcher, Cam
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Schlitzler is, for an example, getting drafted as a seventh
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: rounder and throwing you know, ninety four ish miles an hour.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: The way they can go. Put your body in these
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: labs and you've got kinesiology degrees working on getting you
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: in the most powerful positions. They can get a mile
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: or two out of almost every picture that goes in
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and really wants to look at maybe making a wholesale change.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So I do think the training and the kids are
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: bigger and stronger. That doesn't necessarily means better. I think
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: we're gripping it and ripping it and throwing more balls
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: down the middle than we've ever thrown. Again. Some of
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: its analytics, some of its stuff, But yeah, I don't know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I think the swings are the reason there's so much
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: swing and miss is because of what we've talked to
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: these guys. We want them to slug slug slug, And
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: so you're watching pictures. Yes, they're maybe throwing a bit
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: harder with a touch better stuff than maybe ten years ago,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: but the swings are also bigger all the time, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: strikeouts were deemed okay just a few years ago, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: so you're just watching guys take way too big of
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a swing for in my opinion, for all three strikes
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: instead of having a two strike approach, and then when
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: stuff and velocity's upticking, you're certainly gonna have trouble. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: for me, I think the answer is a little bit
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: of everything, you know. I don't think that it's all
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: what it is, and Nolan Ryan and Billy Wagner, Randy Johnson,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: they were doing about what these guys are doing when
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the eye test. But overall, the kids are bigger and stronger.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You know, you get down there on the fill with them,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: they're huge guys.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt, and they got the different
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: training now and they kind of got that down Pat.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: So it's interesting where we're at in modern Major League baseball. Well,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. Appreciate you taking some time for us

  Speaker 1: but he's not yet twenty one years old yet, and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so I would imagine some checks, mix, some Arnold Palmers,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and maybe some board games with friends. Is how Berkeley
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Catton's going to spend his Friday night. The young hockey
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: star of your Seattle Kraken now joins us here on
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the Chuck and Buck radio program. Hi Barklay, Hey, how's
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it going?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: You got big Friday plans? Do you?
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I think you nailed it right on the head there,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: nothing too crazy.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Are you back home or do you stay in Seattle
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in the offseason.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be back and forth this summer, but
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: as of right now, I am in Saskatoon in Canada.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, what Saskatoon like? Give me a description. Be the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: head of Saskatoon's you know, pr staff, and tell me
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: what is great about a summer in Saskatoon.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: I mean it's great, you know, it's it's a big city,
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: but it still kind of feels.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Like a small town.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: One hundred four thousand people here and just right in
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: the middle of the prairies. You can see your dog
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: run away for days and that's not even a jo
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: that's how flat it is. But it's home and I
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: love it and growing up here. I have all my
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: best buddies here, so it's nice to be home.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: How do you How are you received when you come home.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine you're not the first hockey
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: star that's ever come out of Saskatoon. So is it
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: just old hat in Saskatoon when an NHL player comes
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: home to hang out? Or are you a pretty big deal?
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Do they parade you around like a conquering hero? No?
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: No, I'm just a regular guy here.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: I think, like you said, there's been lots of hockey
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: players that come from here, and and you know, I
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: think hockey is a big deal, but cand of the day,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: just another dude hanging around.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: All right. I kind of like that. I like that
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: about your offsets. And then Berkeley Caton is with us
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: right here on Chuck and Buck in the morning. So
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I mean there are people that. I mean, I played sports,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: have been around in sports all my life. I played,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: but I probably we watched a lot more than I
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: even played. And I played all the time, and it's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: but I watched more probably because and that's why I'm
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: probably doing the job I have right now. Obviously you
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: played a lot. You can't get to the NHL unless
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: you get on that track and it becomes sort of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: your life's ambition. But how much time did you spend
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: actually watching hockey as a kid. Were you a huge
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: NHL fan? Yeah, of course.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: But the weird thing about where I grew up was
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: in Saskatoon that there wasn't really an NHL team around me.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: There was the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames and
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: and the Winnipeg Gets. But I'm kind of right in
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: the middle of all three of those teams. So I
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: spent a lot of time watching the Western Hockey League,
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: you know, going to games there, then obviously watching games
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: on TV, you know, of the Edmonton Oilers and stuff.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: But as a kid, I think I.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Just breathed it and always just enjoyed being around it
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: and watching it. And it's, you know, just the way
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: I kind of grew up in the culture around here
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: in Saskatoon.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: It's just hockey, hockey, hockey.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: So did you have a favorite player growing up and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: was he in the w h L or the NHL.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I had lots of favorite players growing up. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: think when I was really young, I liked Pavel Datsuk.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: You know, he played for Detroit and was just a
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: super you know, skilled player, and I tried to pick
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: things from him. And then you know, when I was
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: when I was young, I was didn't really grow too much.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I was playing it's bigger guys. So I like Johnny
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Gudreau too, just the way he danced out there. So
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: I've had lots of favorite players throughout the year, but
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: never really won in particular.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're so young, you're picking guys that are also
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that played not long ago. I mean, yeah, I didn't
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: think I was going to get Awayne Gretzky out of you,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: but that that really does highlight your age. Berkeley Caton
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: is with us here. So now that you're a professional
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: hockey player, you just had your first season, I'm curious,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: do you watch the Stanley Cup playoffs when you get
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the chance or now that you're a member of the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: crack And I don't know there are any sort of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: rules about Hey, if I'm not in the playoffs, I'm
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: not gonna watch.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: No, I'm definitely watching. It's a little weird knowing and planning.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Some of these guys.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little different watching, which is really cool.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: But I think it's cool. Just it's a different style
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: of hockey than the regular season.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: I think, so just to kind of, you know, watch
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: that and feel that out and hopefully can get there.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Soon would be great.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I've been watching it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Well play analysts for me, who do you think looks
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the best right now?
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I kinda.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: There's been two upsets so far in this you know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: conference finals, so I mean, I don't really know.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: I've always thought that Colorado was kind of the team,
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: but I guess you never really know come playoff.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Time, right Yeah. Yeah, Well hopefully you're going to learn
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: what the playoffs are all about very soon.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: How how disappointing was it? I mean for you it
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: was your first season, he got a long time left
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: in this league. But what was it like being around
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: veterans who may be running out of time to get
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: this job done? What was it like to have the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: season come to a disappointing year, a disappointing end, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to be a part of that, but also to be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a part of other people's disappointments.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just for myself, it was a huge
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: learning experience. Obviously, coming out of the break, we were
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: in a really good situation, and just how quick things
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: can turn, you know, if you're not on top of
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: your game as an individual and as a you know,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: on a team.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: But like you said, there's lots of guys on our
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: team that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: You know, got a couple of years left to win,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: and obviously we want to help those guys get to
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: get there.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: So I think, you know, we know we have to
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: do this offseason.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: As individuals, and you know, come September, be ready to
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: go and just run with it from there.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: What did you learn about yourself in your own game
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: in your first year.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I just think the consistency of it is so important.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Playing eighty two games next year eighty four games. Just
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: how consistent you have to be every single night, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: you know it having a good not B game, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: if you're not on top of your game, knowing how
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: you can still impact the game in a positive way
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: is one.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Thing I kind of learned.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: So and again being around the Jordan Eberleis of the
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: world and the Jane Schwartz and you know, the Chandler
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Stevensons and just guys who have been around and just
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: picking their brain was huge for me, and you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: they helped me out a lot throughout the year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: What's the difference in the precision between what you'd played before,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the leagues you've played before and then you get in
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the NHL and you're surrounded by the best in the league.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got to imagine that maybe you could
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: get away with a mistake in the past and you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: could control the puck still if it got a little
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: loose where maybe you don't get away with that anymore.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's exactly right. That's a huge thing. Mistakes on
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: both ends.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: If they happen, they're usually capitalized on the other way.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: And how was I saw that very early? Just how
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: good the players are and how one.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Little mistake can you know, go the other way and
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: have a great scoring cancer even a goal. So you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: just like you said, it's the best players in the
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: world and they're gonna make hockey plays everywhere. So just
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: learning how to manage the game, I think was one
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: thing that I kind of tried to pick up on
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: this year. And and yeah, it's that's very true statement.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: There is a lot of precision out there.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we enjoyed watching you, and we of course
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: have big expectations not to put too much pressure on
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you going forward. You can't wait to see how much
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: improvement you show us for next season. Do you think
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the Stevenson's miss you.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's funny.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: I was actually hanging out with him yesterday because they're
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: about twenty minutes from me.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, Tandler, Yeah, no.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Me and Chandler grew up in the same city obviously,
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: in Saskatoon here, so they have a place owning an
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: acreage and with a little pool. So we were swimming
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: yesterday and hanging out, so, you know, we uh, you know,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: they don't miss me too much. I don't think I
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: already saw them.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: It was very good.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Do they call you if you've been away too long,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: like parents worried about you, if like, if they haven't
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: heard from you in a while.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: I think they're they're little ones. Uh were thinking I
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: was moving into their house. There they're asking where all
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: my stuff was. So there, it's funny there.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're awesome though. They were great to me all year.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: That's great. That is awesome. What a great story from
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this past year. Well man, uh, it was great hearing Fremy.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on the show taking some time out
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: of your busy life. Have a great off season and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see the twenty twenty six twenty seven
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: version of Berkeley Caton.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah me too.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much for having me on.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Berkeley Caton joining us right here on the program,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: And I probably should explain it for those that are
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a little confused, so I guess, and the National Hockey
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: League they do well to sort of take care of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the young'ins. So here's Berkeley comes into the league, doesn't
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: have a family of his own, doesn't have as much
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: money as some of the veterans, and so I guess
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a time honored tradition that some of
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the veterans, hey, you need a good meal or whatever
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the case may be, they kind of take them under
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: their wing, almost to adopt them, and they spend a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: lot of time at their house, and they might even
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: move into the house, which apparently was the case with
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Berkeley Catton and veteran Chandler Stevenson, both of them being
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: from the same area, and so Berkeley Catton's rookie season,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: he was basically Chandler Stevens adopted son this past year.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: So that's why I brought that up. And it's very
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: funny that the reaction was, no, I just saw him yesterday.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I was right down the road.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I don't miss him.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: That's phenomen because you would you would think that, you know,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Chandler Stevenson and Missus Stevenson and maybe even the maybe
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: even Berkeley would be like, Okay, we just spent an
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: entire hockey season together. I'm going to see you next year.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Go do your thing and give me a break. But
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: they obviously like each other enough that Chandler's like, you
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: want to come over and swim?
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, come over for a swim.
• 31:17

  Speaker 6: And the piggy piggyback heard round the world. I'm fairly

  Speaker 6: certain Softy would rather root for the Ducks than hear

  Speaker 6: the word piggyback again.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said it like thirteen times in our interview.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Let's right, that's right. I'll tell you what.

  Speaker 6: The end of the game did leave a bad taste
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: in my mouth. But the piggyback, the piggyback did not
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: it was mostly a success, and if your offense steps
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: up soft, you would probably be shouting piggyback from the
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: rooftops while riding piggyback Gone Dick Fane.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Which he did last night.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: See there you go.

  Speaker 6: word other words I hate much more than piggyback, your regardless, Oh,
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: terrible word bandwidth when people are like, oh, just.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Don't have the bandwidth right now.
• 35:17

• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I used to play this game of like the grossest
• 35:54

  Speaker 3: Together and fighting irish one.

• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Well, this week in the m's are in Kansas City.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: And I'm still not sure if that's the one in

  Speaker 6: Kansas or Missouri, or if they're technically the same just
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: spread across two states.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I do know though I have been to one of
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: them or maybe both of them.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: It's Missouri, okay, Yes, that there is some that spills
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: into There is a Kansas City, Kansas, but most of
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it is Missouri.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, But so is it like basically it's the same city.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: They just it's just part of it is in a
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: different state.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, like Saint Louis and then in Illinois we have
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: East Saint Louis. And even though they're not the same city,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: there's they're connected.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: You guys, you guys in the Midwest do things weird.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: We just want to share. That's for the river. Do
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you want to share our border? They say, we want
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: to share gun fire? Well, it's very dangerous areas, all
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: Okay, perfect, Well, make sure you keep the gun fire
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: responsible either way, if wherever Kansas City is located, we
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: need a better outcome than we hosted than when we
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: hosted those royal turds three weeks ago.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so here's to that.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: No pressure, but do it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: It is a long weekend.

  Speaker 6: I think we eat something like eight billion hot dogs
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that.
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: So if you're looking for something new to throw on

• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Chuck? No, Yeah, that's right.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Spam was feeling left out, so apparently now it comes
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: in hot dog for him instead.

  Speaker 3: Of just in a can.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it, Okay.
• 37:48
