• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We also have NBA Finals to discuss and more. Let
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: me first though, get to your headlines. They are brought
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to you by Frostbrewed Corps like Choose Chill. Yeah, we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: did win that wacky thing on Saturday, but the Mariners
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: lost Friday and Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, including a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: five to four loss yesterday.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: That, frankly, that's just a game you're not supposed to lose.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I agreed.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And so the team at thirty four and thirty two
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: gets ready to head to Baltimore, Maryland for a game
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: tonight three thirty five first pitch, one of four games
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that are going to take up that they play pretty
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: much at the same time every day for the next
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: four days. So we got that whole three thirty to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: six thirty block that is going to dominate our week
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: here as Mariner fans, and so that gets started tonight.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It'll be Emerson Hancock going up against Chris Bassett, who
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: has not been good this year, so let's take advantage.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: First pitch at three thirty five. Not good to Yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he's not left handed.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, we'll see things are looking up already.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, three of the four starters we're gonna face right handed.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Because everyone figured out how good we are hitting lefties.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: College World Series.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Texas wins over Oregon last night and a thriller. They
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: punched their ticket to the College World Series. So that's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: now occupied.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: The eight seats.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Six are occupied Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Ole, Miss Troy,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: how about Troy getting in there? And West Virginia. Meanwhile,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: there'll be two more spots decided today. There was rain
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday that washed out Kansas and Oklahoma, also Saint John's
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and Alabama, So come hell or high water, they will
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: finish their series. They'll play their scheduled to play a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: game and a half both of them today, So as
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: long as rain doesn't wash anything out again today, we
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: will know our eight teams in the.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: College World Series by the end of the day.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: NBA Finals Game three tonight, five point thirty is your
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: tip the New York Knicks can go up three to oh.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: They're saying that ticket prices minimum ticket price to get
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: into this game tonight at Madison Square Garden six thousand dollars.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: It's ridiculous.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: And then they also have decided that you can't, as
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: New York fans, hang out outside the stadium and watch
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: or like have your party there because the President's going tonight.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: So it's too much of a security risk.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'm just gonna buy ten tickets.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Ye might as well, you know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: You know that's really out to the listeners.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's the crazy Who cares if you can't
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: make it to New York by five point thirty?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't care. It's just money.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Why don't we just get a private jet?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup Final Game four tomorrow?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, are they raving about this this series? Good night,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Carolina is down two to one to Las Vegas. They'll
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: try to even things up against the good nights tonight
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. That's where the storm are as well.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Taken on the aces at seven o'clock tonight. And yes,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: this is World Cup week.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: It is here.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I know how beloved and treasured that this is for
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: soccer fans, football fans here in the Pacific Northwest. And
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna vow right now, Ashley, I'm gonna do
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: my very best to make this month as wonderful as
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I possibly can.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: You can do it. I have faith in you.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: We're gonna try. I really don't know what to say.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: The nice thing.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: About World Cup is, you know what what it is,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: right We know it's one tournament.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: So it's not like we're gonna have World Cup and.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Then there's some extra little matches on the side that
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: we don't know what they are. You're just you're just
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: trying to win. Just watching games, Yeah, watching wins.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I honestly mean this. I'm not a soccer fan. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: want all soccer.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Fans they can hear my voice right now, to have
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the time of their life. And I really mean that
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: they will.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for the next month, and especially our own little
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: soccer darlings, anders Hurst and sweet Cherubs. Oh those sweet, young,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: impressionable boys.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: All right, well, let's get into it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I've already warned that what we were going to discuss
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: here in this segment, and it's going to be our closer,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Andres Munos, who blew his fifth save of the season yesterday.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He also has a three and four record. Because of
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that loss yesterday to the Detroit Tigers. I've had a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: few people reach out and say, are you finally going
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to come around? I mean, I have Greg Bell pretty
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: much every time I leave the studio now saying still
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: believe in Munos, And I do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Know.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I know it sounds crazy. I'm not being.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Stubborn about this. I'm really not. And I love Andres.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: He's one of the nicest human beings. But it has
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: nothing to do My analysis has nothing to do with
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: how nice a person that I think he is. Even yesterday,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I saw a guy throwing his fastball as hard.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: As ever one hundred and one hundred and two miles prior.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He just couldn't locate it yesterday, and I think that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: has everything to do with the fact that he's being
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: pitched so infrequently this year, and by his own demands,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: his own please, he.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Has said straight out of his mouth, I want to
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: pitch more.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: He's not need to pitching enough.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And so when you go five and a half days
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: without him seeing the mound, without seeing live action, and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have his command at this stage, should we
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: be all that surprised by it? I mean, this is
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: an organization that has ton tons of data. They are
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: an analytics driven organization, and I think they've softened on
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that in the last couple of years. The hiring of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson was a gesture of we're softening on analytics.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: We've got to marry the two. As Bucky and I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: have said since we started doing this show together, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: don't dislike analytics. I love analytics. I love what they've
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: done for the game. But anybody that married themselves to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: them entirely is a fool, and anybody that won't use
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: them is a fool. And so right now, twenty twenty six,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: you better being being marrying the two principles, not being
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: caught up in analytics, and yet make sure that you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: are using them. Otherwise you're at a huge disadvantage. Every
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: single night, Well, here is an organization driven by this.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They're an analytics driven organization, and yet what we're watching
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: unfold is head scratching at best and almost hair pulling
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: for me that here's this isn't difficult data to find.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I don't need a nerd to look this up for me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Andre's Munos does not do well when he's rested for
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: too long, by his own admission, and maybe Ashley, maybe
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it is. Maybe it's now mental, maybe it's psychological with him.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe he thinks he can't perform that way, and shame
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: on Andre's for that. He's got to get tougher, he's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: got to get stronger, and there's no excuse for how
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: bad that he looked yesterday and not being able to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: find the strike zone. But there might be reasons for it,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and to me, the reasons are, he's just better when
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: he's in a rhythm, and he can't get in a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: rhythm because for whatever reason, and an analytics driven organization,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: analytics wanted to bleed the closer out of the sport
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: when they started. It's unnecessary to have a guy designated
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: for the ninth inning. How silly is that you pitch
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: your best arm in the best matchups, whatever time in
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the game that it requires you to need your best
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: arm out of the bullpen, you use him. That's what
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the preaching of analytics was. And yet here we have
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: an analytics driven organization and a manager that will only
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: use Andre's munnos if we're up one or two runs
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: or tied after the eighth.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: That's the only time that he will ever use him.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: And when you do it, when you.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Let that dictate how often you use a guy that
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: is begging to be used more, what happens you have
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: long stretches of time where the game situation does not
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: meet your requirements for usage of Andre Simunjos, And the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: end result has been He's been very inconsistent. He has
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: at times looked completely out of rhythm, and the statistics
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: bear it out. He is struggling from lack of usage.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And it's so obvious, Ashley, I mean, I just scratched
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: these numbers together this morning.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I don't have a computer. I did this by hand.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I'm an inning off. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: can't find an inning.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I can't find where there's a missing inning from this,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: So these aren't going to be one thousand percent accurate.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Statistics.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: But I'm one inning off out of twenty one and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a third, so it won't change the entire result that
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I've come up with. But if I can figure this
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: out using pad and paper.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the analytics nerds should be just filled with that information.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It's an entire organization. They are twenty of these guys.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: They give them a phone book every day. This is
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: what these are the matchups, this is what we look for.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: This is where he's strong, this is where they're weak.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: They've got a phone book of this. And yet Dan
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: just keeps saying Nope, unless it's a save situation, then
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Andres isn't gonna pitch. And even when Andres is saying,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I can't pitch that way, not as well as I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: want to, but I'll wait until you call me and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I'll do my best.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And yesterday it wasn't good enough. His best was not
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: good enough.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Erect was he was out of rhythm, two walks all
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: over the map, no command whatsoever. So here's the data,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: this is what you're looking at. This is as simple
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: as could be with no day's rest. Andres Muno says
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: five games pitched, four and two thirds innings and one
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: run aloud. He has two saves and one blown save,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and he has lost two games, but four and two
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: thirds innings pitch, one run allowed. That's an zero point
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: nine to three era. When he has one day rest,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: So that means like no day's rest is you're you're
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: going one day and then you're pitching the very next
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: which they don't like to do that period.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: They won't do it at all with Brash.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: One day between okay, so one day off Andres Muniez.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Five games pitched, five innings pitched, no runs allowed, nine strikeouts.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Two for two and save opportunities.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: When he has two days rest or more five games,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: excuse me, two days just not more, just two days
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: two days rest, five games, four and a third innings pitched,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: three runs allowed, three blown saves and one converted save.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: A six point two to three e er pikes.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: When he has three or days three or more days
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: off seven games, now, let's stop right there. Yeah, he's
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: pitching more on three or more days rest than in
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: any other scenario that I've outlined for you here. That's ridiculous, right, yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: this is him saying I'm doing this, You're not pitching
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: me enough. So five games, five games, five games, seven
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: games that he's pitched on three days rest or more
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: an eleven point three seven ERA. Now, he does have
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: four saves, he's blown one save, and he's lost two games.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And keep in mind that five run outing against the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Padres is in this, so that does whack the numbers considerably.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: But let's take the two together. Okay, and again I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: missing an inning. I'm also and I'm not cherry picking
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: because I don't know what any I miss. H I
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: didn't choose the first two games of the year against
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Cleveland because we're coming out.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Of the gates. Yeah, you know I didn't even use those. Okay, but.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Ten games on one day rest or less a combined
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: zero point nine to three er. Twelve games with two
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: days rest or more a combined nine point two eight er.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: If only there were some numbers to show that he
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: does better with less rest All right, that's ridiculous.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Right, you got a phone book worth of data. Yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and you won't even just basic surface stuff. Oh, this guy,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: when you pitch him more is better.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if you pitch him every other day, he's actually
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: very very very good.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Turns out he was right.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it turns out when he said he wanted to
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: pitch more, wasn't pitching enough.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Might have known what he was talking about. Now, look,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be perfect.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to excuse him. Be tougher, be better.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Why is that messing you up so much? Right?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, Andres has not been very good this year. He
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: was elite the last couple of years. He's not been
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: very good. But I still saw a guy that was
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: throwing one hundred and one hundred and two. We don't
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: have a guy with that kind of fastball other than
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Andre's Munnos.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: He has an unhittable slider.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Pete Woodworth calls it the most unhittable pitch in the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: entire sport. When he's got it. When he's on, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: he's dominating righties this year, dominating them.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: It's absolutely dominating.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: So what about this as a compromise, Because I know
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of people wont him out of the closers role.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: How about we just say you don't close.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: That's not your only job, but we're not going to
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: use you just when there's a save opportunity. We will
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: use you on a Friday night down two because you
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: need some work and because we're a bloop and a
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: blast away from possibly tying up, and we've just seized
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: momentum of this Friday night game. As opposed to using
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: our worst reliever, who goes out there in the eighth
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and in a blink of an eye you're down four.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: In the game's over, the game is out of reach.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: How about we not use him as a closer purely.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I still want him when it works the right way.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: He's getting the ball for me. I mean the stuff
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: to me that he doesn't look injured, he doesn't look tired.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: The stuff to me looks like closer stuff. He's struggling
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: against left handers, and he's struggling with command when he
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: has sat for too long. Those are the two issues
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: with Andres Munnos. But we want this guy to be great,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and the stuff is there, so let's get him right.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: That's all that matters, getting right. And I think what
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: gets him right is pitching him more frequently. And if
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: that means he's not the guy, we just don't use
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: him for every save. Fine, I'm a thousand percent okay
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: with that. Frere can get the job done, Brash can
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: get the job done. Gabe Spire is better than anybody
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: coming out of our bullpen right now, I guarantee you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Gabe Spire.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Can get us saves right now, I would think. So
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I don't need.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Andres Munjos to get us every save. What I need
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: from Andres Munos is for him not to wait five
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: six days before he pitches again. That's what I need
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: from Andre's And I don't care if it's a scenario
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: like Friday where he's given the ball because we're a
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: bloop and a blast away from possibly coming back and
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: winning this game, and he needs work because we have
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: sat him for four straight days. I don't care if
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: it's Saturday, when we're up four to nothing, use him
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in the ninth. Why does there have to be a
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: save attached to it? And then yesterday, finally he gets
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: his chance. He's chopping at the bit, he's throwing harder
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: than he ever has. He was certainly fresh, but the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: five days off he looked as rusty as you could
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: possibly look. He had zero command out there on the mound.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: How does that not ring a bell and somebody's head
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: in that organization. Dan Wilson's a very smart person, So
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: is Maniacta.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So is Pete Woodworth. So is Jerry Depoto, So is
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Justin Hollander. How is that not ringing a bell? But
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the reason that he's struggling is because he's not pitching.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Enough, and especially with the creativity that these guys have
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: shown that they're already willing to do with this pitching staff,
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: I mean the piggyback situation and going between that and
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: the six man rotation to.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Figure out what works best for people.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know why you would be so flexible when
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: it comes to these six starters, But then when it
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: comes to your bullpen, it's gee.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he has to pitch here, he has.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: To Yes, yes, Why not use the same thought process,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: the same mantra with your bullpen as you're using with
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: your starting pitch.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Well, that's just it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Like in an analytics world in the modern day, you
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: mix and match. You do base it on who you're
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: getting ready to face and who the best matchups are.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: We're doing that while we're also trying to keep people
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: in these old school boxes. Andre's munnos can only pitch
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: if there's a save on the line. That is rubbish.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, use there.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: You have great pitchers, use them in the moments in
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: each game. Like, ooh, actually, this would be a great
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: plan for this person. This would be a great Oh
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: you know what, Mooney hasn't hasn't pitched since Wednesday, Let's
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: use him.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Munjos is dominating right handers, even with how poorly he's look,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: he's dominating right handers.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not it's not a terrible idea that, hey,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: we need to get him.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: He needs to pitch today, and right now it's tied,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and I know it's the seventh inning, but they've got
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: a steady flow of right handers coming up. Use Munjos then,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and then we can trust somebody else to get a
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: save in the ninth inning, since we can't trust Andres
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to get a save in the ninth inning right now,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: especially when he's on three or more days rest. I
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: don't think this is a difficult problem to solve. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: trust me, all of those that want to chase Andres
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Munyos out of town, we want to solve this, right.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: We want Andres to be good because he has shown
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: he can be elite coming out of the pen.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: And you just don't walk away from guys like that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: And so let's get him right and on most nights,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: if it works out that way.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I want him closing for us.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Even now, even with five blown saves before June eighth,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I want him closing for us. But I don't want
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to make Andres Munno's only pitch in save situations because
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: it's ruining his season.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Andrew doing yourselves a disservice too.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, you're he's not pitching at his best and
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: that they're for is hurting your team. So I don't
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: know why you wouldn't think outside the box a little
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: bit more.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: NBA Finals Game three tonight, Can the Spurs bounce back?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three kh RFM, oh Man,

  Speaker 5: Yeah, that one. I'd rather do that one.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. I was hoping that would be
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the answer.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: I would have been real bad if I said the
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: other one.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Everyone came up with everything to laylup dot com get
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: That should be the new catch.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: For get out there, get on out here.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: NBA Finals are going to take place tonight, game number
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: three between the Spurs and the New York Knicks. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: don't think the Knicks are playing as well as they
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: were the previous what eleven wins in a row, but
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: certainly they're playing really great basketball down the stretch, and
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I give them all the credit in the world. I mean,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: that is the goal. That is the design of a
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: sports season, is that you want to be playing your best.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You want to use the entire arc of your season
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: and that continue. That includes the off season, the preseason,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the regular season, managing injuries, getting to know one another,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and you want that to culminate with you playing your
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: absolute best basketball fill in the blank, basketball, baseball, softball,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: whatever it is that you're playing at the right time.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: And that's the Knicks. That's what they have done this year.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: They are playing the best basketball in the world as
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: a team right now. I think maybe they're playing better
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: basketball than anyone else is playing any sport right now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Well, and especially I mean you look at the last
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: game or last I guess it was, yeah, the last game,
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: last two games. Just how much other people are stepping
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: up because you've got Jalen Brunson and you've seen that
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: he's incredible and what he can do real. But now
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: you've got you know, Karl Anthony Towns, who's like, hey,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm here and I'm actually really good too.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: So I'll just you know, if Jalen's having a little
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: bit of an off night before the fourth quarter, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: got us.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Jalen Brunson is just an assassin. I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: mean he is. You know, we just got done talking
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: about a closer. I mean, he's got that closer mentality.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: He's got that Mariano Rivera mentality like I I will
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: make the last shot, there's no doubt. You better not give.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: It to me.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: And I don't even care if I have a good
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: angle at the basket. I'm just gonna throw it up
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and it's going to go in. You know, that's kind
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of his mentality. But more of this series, it's two
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: to nothing because the Spurs have not played as well
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and maybe they felt as a young.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Team once again.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not just to get to the finals.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: They always say a young team's gotta have some sort
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of failure before they realize what it takes to get
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: through four series. You gotta win sixteen games, and they
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: did a tremendous job winning twelve, and they knocked out
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder, but then at home the last
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: two games. I don't think it's necessarily been about how
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: great the Knicks have been, because I don't think they've
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: been as good as they were in their previous eleven games.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I think it has been the Spurs have just not
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: responded to the moment to the stage, and Wimby has
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: not responded to the moment or the stage. And maybe
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: it is Carl Anthony Towns that's taken him out of
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: his game. And this is somebody that I think at
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: one point was labeled a little soft and whether or
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: not you could build an organization around him, because the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Timberwolves tried to do that once upon a time ball
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: whatever he's learned. And I think it goes back to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: two coaches. Tibbs, who was a defensive minded head coach
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: who was there in New York and maybe he couldn't
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: get him over the top, like Mike Brown looks like
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: he's going to get him over the top, but he's
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: certainly instilled in him, hey man, you got to be
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: great on both ends of the floor, which I don't
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: think Carl Anthony Towns ever was. And then once that
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: was instilled in him, then Mike Brown's kind of taking him.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Mike Brown's more of the you can be the best
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: out there kind of coach, uh, and he's taken him
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the rest of the way. We're looking at a great
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: player right now and Carl Anthony Towns and we're looking
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: at a cold blooded assassin and Jalen Brunson. And then
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: as a group, they play as well together as anyone
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: in sports right now.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: Well, and with the how well they're playing too, the
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Spurs just can't beat themselves.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: And that's what they did in the last game.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, they they blew their opportunity to win that
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: game with the with Wemby getting that rebound and then
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: passing to Castle off his back, and I mean, you
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: know all, but that's the inexperience, that's the young players
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: on that team. And so you can't give the Knicks
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: for how well they're playing anything like any advantage.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: And that should have been the Spurs game. You should
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: be going to New York right now, one to one.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: But instead, Yeah, the.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Spurs took advantage of or the Knicks took advantage of
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: the Spurs mistakes.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And I don't think they're done. I think they could.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I heard a conversation this morning, do they
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: have a chance, And one of the answers that one
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of the panelists gave was no, of course they have
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a chance. Of course they can go and steal Game
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: three and Wemby can play out of his mind and
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that changes the series. I mean, but you got to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: win tonight. You can't lose again tonight and think that
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: you're going.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: To come back. That's not going to happen.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: But certainly Wemby can go out there and have a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: legendary game, steal Game three and you're right back in
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the series and it's suddenly interesting again. But I do
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: get a kick. I love that inside the NBA has
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the finals. They never get the finals, but they have
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the finals, so they're gonna get the last word.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: On the season. And look, I love Charles Barkley.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I really do. I think he's great, great for basketball.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: He is one of the best TV personalities of all time.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: And I also appreciate, you know, as a sports talk
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: show of myself that sometimes listeners are like, hey, you
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: just said that like two hours ago. Yeah, well yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: because we're taught you have a different audience turns over
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: all the time, and I can't change my opinion. So
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: if the audience is changing over and yet I got
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: to talk about the same topic, yeah, I'm gonna fall
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: back on the opinion that I probably shared earlier in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the day, and hopefully I can expand on it or
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: twist it or whatever the case may be. But all
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: of us that have done this and our words are
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: out there for people to consume. We've repeated ourselves, yes
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: a lot, and yet Charles takes it to.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: A whole new level. I mean.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I said this before the series, Carl Anthony Towns is
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: gonna be the key Now, Shaq, you said something the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: other day and I'm telling you Carl Anthony Towns is
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the key, and he's taking Wemby completely out of this game.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: And Ernie, I told you back in the pre Carl
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Anthony Towns is the key to this series.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Wimby looks scared.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: He looks scared.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: He is the key to this series. And I told
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: you over and no. And that's the thing about the finals,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Ernie Kenny Shaq. Carl Anthony Towns went out there and
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: he took over the series.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: And that's what you gotta do.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: The key to the series has been Carl Anthony Towns.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And I got to give credit to Kat because he's
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: been the key to the series.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Now, Charles, I hear what you're saying, But who do
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: you think is going to be the key to the series.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Carl Anthony Towns.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: San Antonio got big women.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, hey, both of those things are trial.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really goodness, he did point it out. He's
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: like Carl Anthony Towns. Watch out for Carl. And now
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: that he's turning out to be like the difference in
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the series, and he has taken Wimby out of his
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: comfort zone.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: It is just Carl Anthony. He's beating us over the head.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: One I mean good for you, Charles.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I mean I'll repeat things from earlier in a show,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: or maybe once in a segment, just for a point
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: of emphasis. But give Charles five minutes and he'll tell
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: you Karl Anthony Towns has been the key to the
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: series fifteen times.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: At least, there's no mistaking his opinion. We all know.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Terrible, all right?
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, Mariners are heading to Baltimore to take
• 29:48

• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Snake, snaky Jackson Bevan, So join us today at eight o'clock.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: So we'll do the Seahawks one series coming up.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: But the Mariners lose two out of three to the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers over the weekend. So that's three four losses
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: out of their last four, just when we thought they
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: were in a roll on a roll Detroit. They should
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: have won yesterday for sure. Uh, there's no excuse to
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: have lost that game. I mean there are reasons behind it,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: but there's no excuse, no thanks, to lose that game
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. And so suddenly maybe we're not as hot
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: as maybe we're not as hot as we thought we were.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: That is the worst.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Like Chloe Kardashian.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: And are you saying like maybe maybe people just aren't
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: that into us.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but we'll try to get right against
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: a team that may have gotten right the Baltimore Orioles.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind the Baltimore Orioles two years ago. They
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: thought they were had arrived, like, we're the team to
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: beat in the American League East. We're better than the
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Yankees were, better than the Blue Jays were. They have
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: this young team that has found the playoffs. We haven't
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: won in the playoffs, but we keep finding the playoffs.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: And yet we're built on this young nucleus of high
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: draft picks and terrific offensive talent. If we could just
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: find pitching, we're gonna get over the top. And then
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: last year a disaster, like everything went wrong. They couldn't
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: even hit, and they certainly couldn't pitch. And then this
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: year they you know, we're gonna reinforce. We're gonna be
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: gonna very aggressive, and they were very aggressive in the offseason.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: They added Pete Alonzo for goodness sake, in the offseason.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: This is just an organization that doesn't spend. You don't
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: think the Mariners spend. Look at the Orioles spending history
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: in the last quarter century. They just don't spend. But
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: they were in we're not gonna blow this foundation. We're
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: gonna go for it, and they were very aggressive this
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: past offseason.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And what happened. They started the year twenty one and
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: twenty nine and you had to do some soul searching.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: If you're anywhere in the Orioles front office, you're looking
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: at your watch like, okay, where else could I get
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: a job before lunch today?
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Before lunch?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was not looking good for Baltimore again.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, they won ten of
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: their next fourteen, so they pulled themselves out of that crater,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: dusted themselves off. Now they've lost two in a row
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to Toronto, but still you've gone ten and six, moved
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: up to thirty one and thirty five overall, which isn't great,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: but you're only a game and a half out of
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the wild card. So the Orioles are revived. They feel renewed.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: That's what the Mariners are going up against, and it's
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: going to be strength on strength. It's going to be
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: our pitching versus their hitting, which is the reason why
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: they've turned things back around. Those young hitters that were
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: kind of the envy of baseball there for a while.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: That young nucleus of hitters, over that stretch of sixteen
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: games that they've played, have scored ninety four runs during
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that time, so about six runs per game. So they've
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: actually really picked it up, and so it's going to
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: be strength on strength, four nights of it starting tonight
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: at three thirty five, or four late afternoons for us,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: starting at three thirty five tonight.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Our strength are starting pitching against their strength, which is
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: their young hitters. Let's get it on. Yeah.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I feel like just coming off that Detroit series because
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: it was the same thing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Detroit was terrible.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: They had a horrible May, and you're thinking, Okay, yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: they're kind of getting right, but we're a better team.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: We're supposed to be a better team. But they didn't
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: have I didn't think the hitting issue the hitting strength
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: that Baltimore has. So it does make me a little
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: extra nervous.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And the thing about the two guys with Baltimore, the
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: two guys we got to be worried about, are both catchers.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Adleie Rutchman has refound his game this year and for
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I mean, the question in
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Baltimore has been what's wrong with a Lee? Yeah, I mean,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: he was a number one overall pick out of Oregon State,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be a superstar, and for the last
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: two years he's not hit well. Well, he's hitting well
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: this year so he's found his game. And then young
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Sam Bissalo also a catcher, so he's the other guy
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: that is scorching the baseball right now. So we got
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to be careful with those guys. They can hit home runs.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Colton Kowser's been on a roll lately as well, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: so's that's the matchup. Colby ma hits home runs. I mean,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: they are all home run hitting team, and that's going
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to be an interesting four days. Certainly, we're gonna have
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: to bring a better version of ourselves than what we
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: took to Detroit because that was sloppy and at times gross,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: what we watched this weekend.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we need to see some good defense out of
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: our our team for sure.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh Naylor had a weird weekend, just a weird.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: That's a weird weekend.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some really great moments, some really bad moments as well,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: which we will discuss a little later on in the show.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: But coming up next your Seahawks one series. I don't
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: know who we're going to break down. We're about to
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: find out. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ A
