• 1:32
  Speaker 5: and be cause we mean, you just talked the night before.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: And then I started explaining on my drive home we

  Speaker 5: were chatting and that we were gonna shack up together
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: because he made it up here we were going to
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: be we were gonna, we were gonna and I was like,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: that's how close we are. I was going to share
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: the bed with this guy.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: What's the text that I sent you back when you said.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: That that you were Big Spoon or Little Spoon, I
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: can't remember.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: It dips on little spoon, little.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Argues for little Spoon.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: He well, it's funny because he's bigger than me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had marching orders Ryan. My boss was like, hey,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it'd be nice to have like a Toronto feel on
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: your show. Everything's been great, but let's do can we
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: get a Toronto spin on it? And he shows me
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the list of people. I said, Kevin polar is working
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: for them. I mean he played this year. He just
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: like retired like fifteen minutes ago. He would be great
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to get on. So first person I run into is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Kevin Polar in the press box. We start having a conversation.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I tell him about your story with us. He goes,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that's like one of my best friends in the world
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: right there. And so here we are. We're all together.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: How about that, Polar? See how magic radio is?
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah? See, I got up early for you guys.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: No, it's not really early. Trust me, newborn at home.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: This is me.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Sleepping into eight is like a dream come true.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Well all right, well let's let's get your analysis here.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So I'll start with our guest Ryan, and then you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: can just piggy back off of what he says. What
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: did it mean to the Blue Jays to show up
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: yesterday Kevin and remind people, hey, we can hit the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: hell out of the ball.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I honestly think it was a series
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: altering victory for them.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: I think if they go in and you know, find
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: a way scratching Claude to get a win, maybe a
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: three to two game. I think the Mariners are sitting
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: over in their dugout talking about maybe a pitch here,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: or in a bat here, or maybe a defensive play
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: here where you know, maybe they still feel like they
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: could have won that game. Maybe that's one that got away.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: But I think there was definitely a look in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: mirror moment for the guy, the Mariners guys going into
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: the clubhouse yesterday with how dominant the Blue Jays were,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: not only from the pitching side, but from the offensive
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: side too. You know, coming here, you listen to all
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: the TV shows, the radio shows. You know they were
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: talking about sweep, sweep. You know, the Mariners did everything
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: they needed to do when they went into Toronto. They
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: stole two games there. They won game two very decisively.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: They looked like the better team, and it looked like
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Toronto had their tail between their legs. The Maritors had
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: their pitching lined up for, you know, their first big
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: playoff game in twenty four years, a rowdy, excited crowd,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: and the Blues Is just decisively handed it to them.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: And I think it kind of really flipped the narrative
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: and potentially a little bit of the momentum in this
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: series to the opposite.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Dugout, Wait, make it that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Here's the hard here's the hard part about bringing Kevin
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: on the show today after what was it a thirteen
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: to two absolute for thirteen to four, but who when
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: we had two homers there late in the game. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you know, here's the challenge here is we went to
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Toronto and felt like we shocked the Blue Jays fans
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: in our home stadium. We came back home, Julio hit
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: that home run the first inning and the crowd was
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: as loud as I've ever heard them, and then all
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, Bieber came out and answered and silenced
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: that team was striking out the side and the second inning,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and I felt like, in playoff baseball, you can generate
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: and keV you can attest this. You can generate momentum
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: on both sides of the baseball. And Bieber stepped up
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: for the Blue Jays yesterday and he came out, he
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: made adjustment, se exc pitches. He looked like himself, the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: guy from the Cleveland Guardians that you and I are
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: faced a lock keep. When he's mixing that fastball, slider, cutter, curveball, combook,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: he's deadly. And then the bats came alive. I didn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: feel like the Blue Jays had poor bats in Game one.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: In Game two, I felt like there's a lot of
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: loud barrels right at the defenders. So we knew that
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: they were gonna get hot. This is a team that
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: led the major leagues and batting average, third in doubles,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and manufactured a ton of runs all season long. This
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: team has a lot of fight left in him. This
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: series is going to be a dog fight till the end.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: The fact that the Mariners came out and got a
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: lead early and shot then was big. But now they're
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: a little shocked right now and they have an opportunity
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: to respond.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the idea of getting off to a good start
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: in Toronto obviously is important. And yet I didn't think
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: this was gonna be a sweep. I didn't. I don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: think it's gonna be an easy series. It's you're down
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: to the final four teams and it's gonna be a
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: battle uphill. I would wonder, like Kevin, I'll go to
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: you first and then you can respond to it as well.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: When you're going up against a guy like George Kirby.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: What they it looked to me like they were doing
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: was they were aggressive early. You know a guy that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: gonna pound the zone, he trusts his stuff, and yet
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: they just weren't letting him get off or get away
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: with any mistakes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Left over the heart.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Is that something that you know that the Blue Jays
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: were preaching because it looked like it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's a matter of fact. All eighteen
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: hits came within the first three pitches of the bat.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: And when you have a guy like George Kirby, who
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: you know historically is in the strike zone, loves to throw,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: you know, strike one of the zone has elite stuff.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: The way you beat elite pitching in this game, you
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: have two ways when you have these hitters meetings. You
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: go into this hitters meeting and you say, were they
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: going to get him or he's gonna get us? But
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: we're going to do it early, because if you get
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: the two strikes, his arsenal is too good to really overcome.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: So the Blue just had a really distinct plan to
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: attack early. I don't know if you guys heard John
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Schneider's press conference pregame. He was talking about less jabs,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: more uppercuts, you know, and that's code for, Hey, we
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: need to sit on pitches and be aggressive and when
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: you get your pitch, don't be afraid to swing it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: The Blue Jays have this superpower as a team to
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: put the ball in play and they are going to
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: continue to do that, but it's how they put the
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: ball in play. They emphasize not necessarily swinging for the
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: pen fences, but getting a good pitch and trying to
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: drive the ball and void did they answer?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Kevin, You talked about this a little bit on another
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: show you did recently, about the team wide execution of
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: approach and how there's been some teams in the playoffs
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that do it better than others. And yesterday was an
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: absolute clinic by the Toronto Blue Jays of let's execute
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: a team wide approach. I mean, eighteen hits when the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: first three pitches. I heard that stat. I did a
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: radio show late last night and I heard that stat
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. It was impressive.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: But there was two at bats that I thought were
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: really decisive for the Toronto Blue Jays offense. It was
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Vladimir Guerrero's at bat that doubly hit through the left
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: field wall in that third inning he threw he got
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: two hanging sliders. George Kirby did not have the same
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: up with that slider that he has this whole postseason.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: And then the kirk Get bat when he walked him
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: with runners on second and third. He was trying to
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: get that sinker to clip the outside corner. He had
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: a really hard time commanding his pitchers at the glove
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: side on right handed hitters, which is the outside corner.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: He couldn't get that sinker to come back, and the
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: slider just kept kind of spinning in the middle of
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the play. And when you cannot command the outer half
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: of the zone and the hitters able to split the
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: plate in half and really sit on one part of it,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: it's really really dangerous for a picture that day.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was guys, you know, Ernie Clement, whole guy,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: kind of a free swinger, ambushed the first pitch sinker
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: in for the double to kind of get the wheels
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: going a little bit, you know, andres Himnez hit the
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: two run homer where he said he was just trying
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: to move the run over and talk about this kind
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: of team approach. Sometimes when you do less, you do more.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: You know, the Vladier bat you were talking about, he
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: took the first slider in that at bat and kind
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: of didn't even offer at it as a way of
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: kind of like saying, throw it again, you know, you
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: throw it again, George Springer, first pitch, homer, four seam
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: up in the zone. Got it. Like, guys, you talk
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: about having this collective approach, which you've seen through the
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Toronto Blue Jays the entirety of the year, and if
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: you kind of flip the script to the Mariners, they're
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: a team that just kind of relies a lot on
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: the home run, a little bit more free swinging. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: don't have the statistics in front of me, but what
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I've seen through the first games was all the kind
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: of small things that you would want to do right
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: from a team approach. The Blue Jay has kind of
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: let every statistic, but when it came to like slug
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: and home runs, you saw the Mariners like the swing amiss.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: The strikeouts were all in favor of the Mariners. So
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: it's very interesting that trasting styles of both of these teams.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I know one statistic Mariners two games of Blue Jays won.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty important statistic. At this point. Kevin Malar
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is with us, former Blue Jay and former Mariner Ryan
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Heay with us on the same show. Turns out their
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: best buddies, and they're joining us here this morning to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: talk about the American League championship series. So it feels
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to me like momentum is just something that's like a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: figment of our imagination in this sport, this time of year. So, Ryan,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: even though Mariners get stomped yesterday by this lineup, what
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kind of chance do you give Luis Castillo just to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: reverse that momentum here tonight.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna let Kevin touch on like the realities of
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: momentum because he's played some big posts and games. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: just as an unwritten rule in baseball, you can see
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: things throughout the course of a game on both the
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: offense and defensive side, of confidence of players walking to play,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: or the way the pitcher toes the rubber. Luis Castigo
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: has an opportunity tonight to get the crowd involved really early.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: If we can put a zero up early, get the
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: offense included, it's gonna be a really exciting game. I'd
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: love to see more of a you know, a three
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: to two or a four to three type game. That's
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: more of the Mariner style that we saw in the DS.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: They had the Game four against the Tigers that got
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: out of hand when the Tigers' bats came alive and
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: they responded with a fifteen inning game to win it
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: in the decisive game five. I hope we we don't
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: play fifteen tonight, but I do hope it's more competitive
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: and looks like the brand of marriage baseball we've seen
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: all season long.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah. In terms of momentum, I mean it's real, but
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I think as soon as that final out is caught,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: the momentum kind of goes away, and that really kind
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: of shifts into belief. I think what the Blue Jays
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: have is a ton of belief. And to your previous
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: point is the Marriagers are still up two to one
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: in this series with two more games left, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: And that was that was my big talking point post
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: game for the Blue Jays was kind of everything that
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: we had mentioned before, Like it kind of that win,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: decisive win yesterday really just kind of switched the narrative
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: of the series to like allow people, maybe outside of
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: that both of those clubhouses, people like us in the media, fans,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: to really believe, like the Blue Jays do have a
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: chance to win this series. But I got a chance
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: to talk to George Springer before the game yesterday, for
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: you know, about a half hour. Couldn't have been any
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: cooler calmer being down oh two in a series. It's
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: something he wasn't he was familiar with in his time
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: with the Astros, and he's like, it's and we both
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: agreed on this. It's a much bigger deal to everyone
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: outside of that clubhouse than it is inside that clubhouse.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: But I do believe that Blue Jays are going to
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: show up with even more confidence today after what they
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: did yesterday. But I don't think the Mariners are ultimately
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: phased by what happened. I think they had a moment
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: of reflection in that clubhouse to be like, Okay, this
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: isn't going to be easy, you know, not to say
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: the first two games were easy, but they went into
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: a tough place to win two games coming off a
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: super emotional you know, fifteen in ing victory across country flight.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: You show up to media day, your head's kind of spinning.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: You don't even know where you're at, you know. And
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I was even saying going to that series, and I
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: texted Dan Shulman before Game one, I said, this is
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: the one I'm afraid of. Because blue Jays have everything
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: in line. They have rest, they have Gosman on the mound.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: The Mariners are coming off this emotional victory. They're pitching
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: plans are kind of shambles, and the Mariners just showed
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: up and stole one and then they won decisively. But
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I think momentum really does kind of end when that
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: final out is done for the game. You're able to
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: kind of wash your hands, you know, rinse everything that
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: happened from that game. But I think we're gonna see
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: two very very competitive teams, very confident teams showing up today,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: and that first inning is going to be very, very
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: pivotal for Luis Castillo. I think if he can decisively
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: get through the first inning, you know, I think if
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: he goes, you know, three up, three down. I think
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: if he gets into a little bit of trouble but
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: gets out of the inning, I think there's gonna be
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: more of a sigh of relief. I think you'll hear
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: an exhale. But I think if he can go one, two,
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: three and show some sort of dominance in those first
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: three hitters, I think you're gonna give that offense a chance.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: With a very rowdy crowd and Max Schurz is on
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: the mound, I mean, I think this is the biggest
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: mystery box of a starting pitcher you know you're ever
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: going to see in a postseason game. He hasn't pitched
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: in a month. He says he's healthy. He had an
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: awful year this year. He's forty one years old. He
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: ain't the same guy, but he does. He have the
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: potential to, you know, turn back the clock for just
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: maybe eighteen outs today. I think that's the biggest storyline
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: of the game.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Kevin, I'm gonna ask, since you played with him just
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: this year, I mean, probably one of the scarier hitters
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: to step into the box is vlad And so I mean,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: what is it that he has to work on you?
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: When you guys were in the batting cage, so we
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: know what his weakness is. Will relay this to our guys.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, what is it? Is there anything that this
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: dude doesn't cover when it comes to him up in
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: the dish because of four for four, we can't afford
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: that tonight.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: No, he really has no weaknesses. And me and some
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: of the media guys were in an uber estay moving
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: to the bar. We were just kind of talking about
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: the stuff. We were talking about Vladdie, Like, he really
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: has no weaknesses. At the home play, He's basically his
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: dad with play discipline. He's got the power, he has
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: the ability to use all fields. He hits all pitches.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: But he is also one of the few superstars in
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the game that he can be the guy he was
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: last night. But then he'll have a period of time
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: where he can't hit water if he fell out of boat.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: It's not like he has these like he just has
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: these really big ebbs and flows. But obviously he has
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: you know, more peaks than he has valleys. But right
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: now what you're seeing from him, and he talked about
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: it kind of towards the end of the season, he
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: was kind of struggling a little bit. He got those
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: couple of days off during the Wildcard series. He found
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: something in his swing that clicked. And he's been, you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: the Vlatty that everyone in Toronto when they signed him
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: up to that fourteen year deal expected him to be.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: He's been carrying this offense. He hasn't been doing it alone,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: but he's been the real catalyst at the top of
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: the lineup. He's come up with huge hits. He sets
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: the table and really he has no weaknesses at home
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: plate when he's locked in.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Ryan As we get ready to close shop and this
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I could do this for about
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: four more hours, you guys into it. Kevin Polar has
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: authored some of the greatest defensive catches that the baseball
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: game of baseball has ever seen. What do you send
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: your buddy when you see him on the highlights? What
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: kind of text do you send him when if you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: send them anything at all, when you see him climb
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the wall in Toronto and take home runs away.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: It's usually banter. It's usually just like how reckless he
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: is with his body? Like we talk about that a lot.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And we've spent a lot of time with our families together,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: so like when we both have kids, so when the
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: kids are reckless with their body, like Kevin, that's you, Like,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: that's genetic. You gave that to him, or you gave
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: that to your daughter. They're like, you showed them how
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: to be reckless with your body and it got you
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: a ten plus your career. But man, you got some
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: cool stories to tell from me. And I'm glad he
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: never took a hit away from me. I don't think
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: you did, keV. But he was there for my first
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: major league kids, so him and I got some deeper
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: intent history together.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, do we have time to share that?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Say?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Please?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: You want to hear the story, Yeah, go ahead tell
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: it well, as I was telling you, Ryan's sister is
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: married to my childhood best friend since I was like
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: two years old. So we've known each other pretty much
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: our whole life. Me and Ryan's age gap, you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: when you're a kid at the age gap is a
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: little bit more serious, you know. You know, I'm four
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: years older than Ryan, so you know, he's four. I'm
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: not playing with a four year old as much when
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: I'm eight. So but his older sister, his older sister
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: is only what two years younger than me, maybe a
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: year younger than me. So my best friend has a sister.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Their sisters grew up together. So I've known his sister
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: my whole life, and Ryan I knew very little. But
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: as we got older, baseball kind of brought us together,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: especially once he got into professional baseball. I was already
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: in professional baseball. We actually made this very courageous decision
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: to move to Arizona together at some point in our
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: career because getting out of California was a better tax decision,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: but it was also a better baseball offseason. There was
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: more resources for us to explore, and we thought if
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: we did it together, you know, we would be able
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: to kind of push each other, motivate each other, work
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: out together, hit together, to kind of just expand our careers.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: But going back to that, we were I was still
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: like we were both living in California at the time.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: I was in the major leagues. Ryan was in Double
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: A with the A's. Our all star breaks had overlapped.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Was that the year you play in the Futures Game?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: So I went Future Game in San Diego and I
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: went to Kevin's house, Yeah, for a barliament Christ's birthday.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: My wife's birthday, and he at the end of the barbecue,
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: I walked into the front door. He said he had
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: to catch a flight to El Paso, and you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: like you said, we like to banter a lite And
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: I said, Hey, don't call me to your in the
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: big leagues, buddy, And that was like the last thing
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: I said to him.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: And we were hoping up that second half.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: We were opening in Oakland, So he flew to l Paso.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: I stayed the night at home. I flew to Oakland
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: the next day for like the workout.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: The next morning he calls me. I'm like, what do
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: you want, buddy, told you not to call me here
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: in the big leagues, And sure enough, they called him
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: up to the big leagues to start the second half
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: in Oakland, and I was. I was there for his debut.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: I saw his first hit, which I think was a
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: home run off of Jay Happ or Dicky r A
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Dickey all.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Right, Dicky?
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but then I think you had over the next day, right, No,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: got the the happ The halp was the later in
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: the series. Later, Yeah, okay, but yeah, I was there.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: His family was there, Your whole family was there, My
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: whole family was there, my uh, you know, my best
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: friend who's married to his sister was there. So it
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: was just kind of a cool story where, uh, you
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: know that I was with him the day before, you know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: thought he you know, he was in double A stone
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: l Paso. You know that I thought he would, you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: and he, to his credit, you know, repeated double A
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: and he didn't feel like he needed to and he
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: just had a great attitude about going back there. But
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: typically the natural jump would be getting the call from
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: you know, going from double A to triple A. You know,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: never in a million years. Did I expect to get
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: a phone call a day later for him to make
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: his debut? And you know, the universe has a funny
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: way of rewarding people, and and the baseball world is
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: just so small and intimate sometimes that I got to be, uh,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: not only a front row seat to you know, his debut,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: I got to compete against him. And the last thing
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: I'll say is that little wall scraper he hit. He
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: was lucky he didn't hit the center because I would
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: have brought that thing back. He'd still be still be
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: he'd still be searching for his first one.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I knew where I could.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Well, this was awesome, so Ryan, hopefully we didn't catch
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: it too much off guard with our little surprise we
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: had for you. But great having you two on surprise.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: I could have done it forever. Appreciate you guys.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I'll see you guys, all right, Yeah, we'll see out
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of the ballpark. Kevin pulled a Ryan Heay joining us
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: here Farmer Blue Jay, former Marin Or breaking down the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Alcs for you right here on Chuck and Buck. In
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the mornings, we'll talk to Mike Sando.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Next.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM with Mike
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Sando of The Athletic and brought to you by Hunt Services.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Get on the horn and call Hunts Now with Mike.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Here's Chuck and.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Bud ah Man.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: We didn't get to chat with Mike last week, so
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it's good to hear his voice. This week, we get
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: ready for Thursday night football. We also get ready for
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Seahawks Texans Monday night football. So much to discuss. Good morning, Mike,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Good morning, how you doing. I'm great. Are you excited
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to watch Ya Tittle versus Auto Graham tonight?
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: I am?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: I like what guys. You know, guys in my well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: they're younger than me, but I mean, you know, they're
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: the closest to our h range I guess out there,
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: so that's kind of funny.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I think Rogers was a senior when I was a junior,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, right, Yeah? I mean, is this
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's division based on the fact that Baltimore is just
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: kind of collapsed and Cincinnati doesn't have Joe Burrow? I mean,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: are the Can you just circle the Steelers as division
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: champs this year?
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, probably, But what's to say that Aaron Rodgers,
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: age fifty eight, doesn't have an entry in the next
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: two weeks that totally changes their season. Right, So yeah,
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: right now they probably have a seventy five percent chance
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: to win that division just the way that it's going.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: And the thing about Baltimore is like Lamar Jackson is
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: gonna come back, but is he going to be the
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: same He had a hamstring injury. So clearly the Steelers
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: are in the driver's seat. But they got the oldest
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: quarterback of you know, of the bunch, and that could
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: lead to injury too.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Who's the biggest surprise you Jags, Colts, or there's somebody
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: I'm missing.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Probably the I mean, the Colts were one that I
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: had circled as potential, but I think just the level
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: they've been playing at offensively to me is surprising.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Did I think they could be good, good and win
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: ten games? Yeah, I think that was realistic, But they're
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: like top five in a lot of different things offensively,
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: and so I would say I didn't really see it
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: coming to that degree.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Mike Sander is with us our NFL insider, joining us
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck, as he does most every
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Thursday throughout the football season. Well, let's talk about the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Seahawks opponent on Monday night, the Houston Texans. What a
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: strange start that they're off to. They've got a sub
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: five hundred record, yet their rank number one in the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: NFL and defense and c J. Stroud still hasn't picked
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: back up where he left off at the end of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: his rookie year. So how good a team is this
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Houston team? Are they good at all?
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: Well, they're definitely good, and that they haven't allowed more
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: than twenty points in a game this year, so you
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: know you're going to get a be in for a
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: scrap with their defense. And then the other thing is,
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: you know they're they're coming off a bye, so you
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: know they've had lots of time to really dissect Seattle
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: and they should have a really good plan defensively. Plus
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: they're going to know exactly what Clint Kubiak wants to
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: do offensively because you know they have some history going
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: against that type of a scheme. Denico Ryans was with
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: Kyle Shanahan in with the forty nine ers, So you're
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: probably going to get a really you know, the best
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: defensive test probably of the season so far will be
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: this week against Houston.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: What is it that they do that is the scariest
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Is it the pass rush? Is it the fact that
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: they got some ballhawks in the back, just get good
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: complimentary football On the defensive side, what is it that Well?
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: They, yeah, do they have a very good pass rush
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: and they've invested in that. They have a couple of
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: new faces this year, but they have good pass rush
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: and then they have, you know, a top five cornerback
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: in the league as well. So I think that that's
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: a really good combination for a you know, a defensive
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: head coach who's what in his third year there, So
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: they've got their program pretty well established. I think it's
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: a really good, you know, just whole operation on the
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: defensive side.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: One more question about this game, and we got some
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: other ground to cover. In the National Football League, you
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: do your quarterback tiers, it's award winning. Everybody loves it.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Everybody except maybe some of the quarterbacks maybe they don't
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: like it so much. But if you were to do
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: wide receiver tiers, where's JSN Which tier does he rise to?
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: Well, he's got to be in tier one unless your
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: tier one of receivers requires you to be you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: six foot two and two hundred and twenty pounds and
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: just an absolute physical mismatch. I think one of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: interesting things is you look around the league, though, is
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: the leading receivers in the league aren't that guy? Do
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: you notice that if you look around the guys with
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: the yardage, there's a lot of guys who are just
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: super productive because they can, you know, get open, catch
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: the ball. They're well schemed and and that. So I
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: think you have to put him in the top tier
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: based on his production, well, just allowing for the fact that, hey,
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: you know, historically there are some guys that are more
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: physically imposing.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: He's a special though, Man, is he special? Mike Sando
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is with us our NFL inside. You can follow him
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: at Sando NFL there on X joins us every Thursday.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: San Francisco's got another major injury. I mean, they're without
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Bosa and Warner. We've talked about this team a lot
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in our sessions together, but how are they going to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: hold this thing together?
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: I don't think they're gonna And also their quarterback, both
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: of them have been banged up. But you know, brock
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: Purty hasn't really shown an ability to be durable over
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: the long term, and he's got a you know, the
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: type of a foot toe type thing that could bother
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: him a little bit longer term, you know, may linger
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: for him, or the type of thing that could be recurring,
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: so they don't get a bye to like Week fourteen either.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: So I just think it's a tough grind. They're competitive,
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: they play hard, they're tough, but that's a lot to
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: ask to really overcome. You know, losing two players in
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: Bosa and Fred Warner, who might be the best player
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: on any team in the league if they went on
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: that team. Think about that. Those are stars, no doubt
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Speaking of stars, Baker Mayfield, I mean, can you envision
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a world where he ends up the MVP of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: NFL this year? I think I could.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: You know one thing about them though, is they've won
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: all of these super close games, so you know, sometimes
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: that doesn't be sustained.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: We saw last year the Chiefs were eleven and zero
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: in one score games, and then this year they started
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: owing three in those games. The Bucks are in some
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: ways not as good as they were last season because
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: of injuries, but Baker has been keeping their head above water.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: So I see his path to the MVP being this
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: continue to get guys back from health, so you don't
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: have to win, you know, by one point every week.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: And we saw last week they.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: Beat the forty nine ers by more than that forty
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: nine ers obviously hurting. So I think he's right in it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I do. I think they lose to Detroit though Monday,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: don't you.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: They could? Ye, but they could, they could, they could,
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: They could score them too.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Last thing for you, we've seen the first head coach
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: get fired of the season, but man, it seems like
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: they are hot seats all over this league. Is are
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: we going to see a lot of firings? Do you
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: think before the year comes to a close?
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Not necessarily. I mean, there could certainly be another one,
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: but I don't necessarily think that as I looked through
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: to sort of the teams that are down there, like
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: the Jets have a first year coach. You know, Cleveland's
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: been super patient with their guys, so I suppose they could.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: But you know, maybe Miami's want to watch it. It's
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: just been weird stuff at the podium, you know, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: that sort of thing. Years now, Yeah, that that might
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: be the one that I would look for if it
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: just gets out of hand with you know, Tuas talking
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: about leadership and all that. It just there's a lot
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: of noise around that team with an owner who probably
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: could be a little impulsive than Steven Ross.
• 28:54

  Speaker 6: Oh all right, I don't know where he gets this.

• 30:16
  Speaker 6: course I want I want to. I want a six

  Speaker 6: the thing and then just continue to rattle it off
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: a little bit, give them a little taste of their
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: own medicine from what we had yesterday.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I don't need all of the nail biting
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and edge of my seat, no kind of nonsense that
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: we've dealt with in the past. Yeah, I mean, you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: one turn deserves another. Yeah.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: The ten to three or whatever it was at their place,
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: it was fun.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Well that was you know, that was to be expected, right, Yeah,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and then do it again or yesterday. Oh no, we
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: gave you one. I'll give us one, right.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: I don't want the nail biting that will come with
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: a two to two series, you know. Ah, I see
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: a little you know, best two out of three and
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: two we're gonna be in Toronto type of thing. I
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: mean whatever, I'm not gonna be scared however it works out.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: But just an absolute butt whooping today.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: It's gonna Ken Carr mentioned like the Max Scherzer is
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the wild card going into this. That's a Toronto and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: analyst whos Lea saying, we don't know what to expect
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: fro him in this game. I mean, he has pitched
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: so tremendously and so many big pressure situations. He's one
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: of those Kurt Shilling types that pitch is better the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: brighter the lights get. But then again, it's been three
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: years since he's been a really effective starter and so
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and he really hasn't been at any point with the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays. So what do you get? Do you get
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the Grover Alexander, you know, summon out of nowhere. Old
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: man's got a little bit more juice in it to
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: become a playoff hero. Or do you get the guy
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: that the Blue Jays have tried to massage through what
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: probably is his last season in the major leagues, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: we just light him up tonight. I'll take plan B yep, yep,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and he to me down for that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you can take me down twice if you want, Yeah,
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: three times.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: I'm good.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Had a great career, good luck in the Hall of Fame.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: But if you insist on being on the mounda tonight.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: We would like to light you up to end your career. Yes,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: a plan on that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: I'm expecting a big offensive explosion.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Are you really yes, honestly yes, okay, okay, like to
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: see it all right, Ashley, what do you got?
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: I know that I have no right to say this,
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: but it really bothers me. All of a sudden, All
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: of a sudden, my normal parking spot is filled every morning.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: What the F is happening? I've been parking in the
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: same dance for four years.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I took cares because someone took.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: You took the second one. Someone keeps taking mind.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Well, here is what happened. Is there are people I
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: can't say too much information. There are people who are
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: just parking their cars there and aren't working here or anything.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: They found a they found a parking spot, and I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: think they left town because those same two cars have
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: been for three days okay time. And I saw the girl.

• 33:27
  Speaker 1: spot at day. I mean, I'm not supposed to be
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: parking there anyway, But still for four years.
• 33:34

• 33:39

  Speaker 6: And we would sometimes be coming down Mercier the same time,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: and I've been out driving for sure, and I would
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: get there and then now he just is like, well

  Speaker 6: just get there fifteen minutes earlier. You want to slash
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: his tire.

  Speaker 1: I mean, the whole garage is open. Why are they
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: taking the spots that have been claimed for years? And
