1:33
Speaker 2: and man, we got two pretty big topics to discuss
1:36
Speaker 2: on the show. But before we get it going, let
1:39
Speaker 2: me at least show some sort.
1:40
Speaker 1: Of personal affection. Tordy anders Hurst, how's your weekend?
1:43
Speaker 4: Hi?
1:43
Speaker 1: It was good.
1:44
Speaker 5: Thank you for showing me some personal affection. Yeah, yeah,
1:46
Speaker 5: I got it, very much needed here at six six
1:48
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning on a Monday.
1:50
Speaker 2: A little gentle rub on the shoulder, Yeah, exactly, little pat,
1:53
Speaker 2: little tiny pat.
1:54
Speaker 5: They need to burt me. I do that with my
1:57
Speaker 5: six month old quite a bit, and I feel like, man,
1:59
Speaker 5: I wish I got this a little bit more, you know,
2:01
Speaker 5: just patting on the back, so I get all my
2:02
Speaker 5: gas out of my system.
2:03
Speaker 1: Let's go, come on, No, it's good.
2:06
Speaker 5: Good weekend, Seahawks play or playoff, preseason game, Mariners, big series,
2:11
Speaker 5: lots of talk about yeah, ready again, all.
2:13
Speaker 2: Right, let's get into it then, and normally even preseason,
2:18
Speaker 2: I mean we're coming in with football, especially when you've
2:21
Speaker 2: had a couple devastating injuries since last we spoke Bud
2:26
Speaker 2: Clark and Jake Bobo.
2:27
Speaker 1: They're not on the top.
2:28
Speaker 2: Shelf of you know, key players to the Seahawks for
2:32
Speaker 2: this upcoming season. But Jake Bobo was signed to a
2:36
Speaker 2: new contract this offseason. Bud Clark was the second round
2:41
Speaker 2: pick and was supposed to do some things from what
2:43
Speaker 2: I understand, a personal favorite of Mike McDonald coming into
2:47
Speaker 2: the draft this past year, so you know, he had
2:50
Speaker 2: a big plan for him to roll out. And yet's
2:54
Speaker 2: probably going to be without both of those guys for
2:56
Speaker 2: the entire season, which is something that certainly will be
3:00
Speaker 2: discussing at great length. So Greg Bell will be joining
3:03
Speaker 2: us at seven oh five of the latest information on that,
3:05
Speaker 2: we ourselves will take a swing at it a little
3:08
Speaker 2: later on this hour. Mike McDonald audio, we always play
3:11
Speaker 2: for you after a preseason game, and Hugh Millen will
3:14
Speaker 2: be with us for Monday Morning quarterback today from eight
3:18
Speaker 2: o'clock and until nine at least. Maybe we'll spill that
3:22
Speaker 2: into the second hour as well, or the fourth hour
3:26
Speaker 2: as well.
3:27
Speaker 1: So so yes.
3:28
Speaker 2: There's a lot to discuss on the Seahawks run, and
3:30
Speaker 2: normally even a preseason game, that's gonna be your main topic.
3:34
Speaker 2: But I don't know how with one fat opportunity here,
3:39
Speaker 2: you know, time wise to discuss the Mariners, how we
3:42
Speaker 2: don't lead with that weekend because there was a lot
3:46
Speaker 2: going on a lot, there is a lot to discuss,
3:52
Speaker 2: and first of all, and I know how it ended, yeah,
3:56
Speaker 2: and I know how people went to bed again angry.
3:59
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is it was a
4:01
Speaker 2: good productive weekend for the team. They did gain a game.
4:06
Speaker 2: The last time we spoke, they were four games back.
4:09
Speaker 2: Now they're just three games back, even with yesterday's lopsided
4:13
Speaker 2: loss their second and six games. So taking two out
4:18
Speaker 2: of three against a very good Cubs team, just on
4:21
Speaker 2: its face, anders is a good thing for this team
4:25
Speaker 2: right now. And obviously Houston's hit a snag. They couldn't
4:29
Speaker 2: even beat the A's over the weekend, so they are
4:32
Speaker 2: quite vulnerable. So to weather this storm against this good competition,
4:38
Speaker 2: this gauntlet of competition that we're facing right now, they
4:41
Speaker 2: seem to be doing that right now.
4:43
Speaker 1: And to take two out of.
4:45
Speaker 2: Three, and one of them truly in spectacular fashion on Saturday,
4:49
Speaker 2: where it didn't look like they had any business pulling
4:52
Speaker 2: that thing out, but thanks to Randy or Rose Arena,
4:55
Speaker 2: they got the job done on Saturday. So just you know,
4:59
Speaker 2: headline it for you. Actually, good weekend for the Seattle Mariners.
5:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:04
Speaker 5: I even extended to the full week if you were
5:06
Speaker 5: to ask me. Brewers Cubs go three and three and
5:11
Speaker 5: you gain a game on the Houston Astros. I'd sign
5:14
Speaker 5: up for that going throughout the whole week. And it's
5:17
Speaker 5: weird to say that when two of the three losses
5:20
Speaker 5: are in terrible.
5:23
Speaker 1: Fashion forty one to two. Yeah, yeah, and both of
5:27
Speaker 1: them the differential no recovering that the rest of the way.
5:31
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that, let's bring back Scott's service just
5:33
Speaker 5: so we have the fun differential talk again.
5:37
Speaker 1: I would love that. I would love that so much
5:40
Speaker 1: for multiparts.
5:41
Speaker 5: It's actually but uh no, I think it's the weekend
5:46
Speaker 5: was huge, and yeah, we've kind of experienced this on
5:49
Speaker 5: the opposite end where you lay a dud and a
5:51
Speaker 5: devastating loss in the first game of the weekend, and
5:54
Speaker 5: then you win the second two games and you feel
5:56
Speaker 5: probably a lot better about it than when you win
5:58
Speaker 5: the first two games and then you've lay dead on
6:00
Speaker 5: the Sunday.
6:01
Speaker 1: Right. Either way, it's the same outcome.
6:03
Speaker 5: And it's this that's baseball conversation that we've had multiple
6:06
Speaker 5: times where you actually, I think, all things considered, have
6:09
Speaker 5: a pretty good week against two of the best teams
6:12
Speaker 5: in baseball, I think, and and like you show a
6:15
Speaker 5: lot of the things that we've wanted to see from them.
6:18
Speaker 5: And the Randy game on Saturday, that's what I'm calling
6:21
Speaker 5: it from now on, like it's the Randy game.
6:23
Speaker 2: Oh uh, tremendous. Yeah, And look, I don't know what
6:27
Speaker 2: it is about him. He's a weird cat. I mean,
6:30
Speaker 2: sometimes he's hustling more than anybody else's than right in
6:35
Speaker 2: the middle of like when you start feeling good about Randy,
6:37
Speaker 2: he decides that moment that I'm not gonna hustle.
6:40
Speaker 1: I don't know why that occurs.
6:42
Speaker 2: He'll make a sensational play and then he'll make a
6:44
Speaker 2: brain dead play. So yeah, he's he's one of those players.
6:50
Speaker 2: And I really I'm not even sure at this point
6:55
Speaker 2: if it's ever intentional. I just think that maybe his mind,
7:01
Speaker 2: to quote, no country for old men, I want, my
7:03
Speaker 2: mind wanders sometimes. I don't know if that's just how
7:08
Speaker 2: he's built. But I will say this, you know, this weekend,
7:13
Speaker 2: not just the play.
7:14
Speaker 1: But the energy that he brought.
7:16
Speaker 2: I mean, he willed the team to a victory on
7:19
Speaker 2: Saturday and to walk it off the way that he did.
7:23
Speaker 2: I mean, there were a few guys that I phelps
7:25
Speaker 2: even Saturday, even with all this at Stake seemed to
7:29
Speaker 2: be sleepwalking through the contest and Randier Rose Arena. Of
7:33
Speaker 2: all people, the guy that does drive his teammate's nuts
7:39
Speaker 2: with that back and forth ebb and flow of his
7:44
Speaker 2: wondering if he's a team player or not all the
7:46
Speaker 2: time is the guy that just says, hey, guys, get
7:51
Speaker 2: on my back, let's go.
7:52
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win the game for us today.
7:54
Speaker 2: So yes, I mean a spectacular comeback on Saturday, and
7:59
Speaker 2: West and Wilson play his role and.
8:00
Speaker 1: Leo Reboss played his role over the weekend.
8:03
Speaker 2: For sure, We've been waiting on that, but it was
8:06
Speaker 2: all and it was all Randy a Rose Arena on Saturday.
8:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean Kate Anderson too.
8:11
Speaker 5: I think we'll obviously get into that whole conversation about
8:14
Speaker 5: what we thought of his debut. I thought, you know,
8:17
Speaker 5: I saw a lot of really good things from him
8:19
Speaker 5: and having him I think, for whatever reason, seeing a
8:23
Speaker 5: lefty pitch at T Mobile Park as a starter is
8:26
Speaker 5: something we haven't gotten used to in.
8:28
Speaker 1: The last couple of years.
8:29
Speaker 5: I saw something that was the second left handed start
8:32
Speaker 5: in the last two and a half years since twenty
8:34
Speaker 5: twenty four, that the Mariners have had at their home ballpark,
8:37
Speaker 5: which is just crazy to me.
8:39
Speaker 1: I don't know.
8:40
Speaker 5: I guess when you think about it, it's all the
8:42
Speaker 5: right handed starters that you've had and you haven't had
8:44
Speaker 5: a ton of injuries, and whenever you'd have, it's been
8:46
Speaker 5: like the Logan Evans coming up, and that's another righty.
8:49
Speaker 5: So but at the end of the day, I think,
8:52
Speaker 5: like I said.
8:52
Speaker 1: You forget about Jonathan Diaz. That was the one other one.
8:55
Speaker 5: That literally is the one other one as the spots
8:57
Speaker 5: start from Jonathan Diaz, I think last year, so I
9:01
Speaker 5: think he should be here to stay. I don't know
9:03
Speaker 5: if you wanted to get into that conversation now or
9:05
Speaker 5: if you want to kind of save that for later,
9:07
Speaker 5: but I think, uh, just overall, a good weekend for
9:10
Speaker 5: the Cubs, and then it kind of gets a little
9:13
Speaker 5: bit tainted from yesterday's outing.
9:15
Speaker 2: Well, well, let's talk about just Kate Anderson on Saturday excellent.
9:20
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean he didn't even have his
9:22
Speaker 2: good stuff. I mean he didn't have his feel. He
9:24
Speaker 2: doesn't walk guys that much, he doesn't he doesn't miss
9:28
Speaker 2: that much, and he was missing at times with his
9:31
Speaker 2: fastball by quite a bit. I mean, that's the that's
9:35
Speaker 2: the Kate Anderson profile. It's you know, if you were
9:38
Speaker 2: expecting Paul schemes because he was a number one pitching prospect,
9:43
Speaker 2: then you haven't been following along with the material Kate Anderson.
9:48
Speaker 2: What is special about him is his ability to repeat
9:53
Speaker 2: his delivery. They say that about golf. The repeatable swing
9:58
Speaker 2: is what every golfer is trying to achieve at all times,
10:02
Speaker 2: and they never do.
10:04
Speaker 1: You know, they might for a day.
10:06
Speaker 2: They might for a tournament, they might for a week,
10:08
Speaker 2: a couple tournaments, but at some point it's going to
10:11
Speaker 2: get loose and it's going to fail them, and then
10:14
Speaker 2: they're going to have to work to get it back
10:16
Speaker 2: to where it was for that beautiful forty eight hours
10:20
Speaker 2: that they spent with their perfect golf swing. Well, Kate
10:23
Speaker 2: Anderson has pretty much repeated his perfect delivery for an
10:28
Speaker 2: entire season down at Arkansas and rarely getting loose. And
10:32
Speaker 2: when he's gotten loose, he's given up a little bit
10:34
Speaker 2: of damage. But as his I heard his pitching coach
10:39
Speaker 2: mentioned last week, you take out three innings and he
10:42
Speaker 2: pretty much was untouchable. We did not see the untouchable version.
10:45
Speaker 2: Now Cubs were facing him for the very first time,
10:50
Speaker 2: you know, and you could tell by the third time
10:52
Speaker 2: around that they were a little more comfortable with that.
10:55
Speaker 1: Then again, the third.
10:56
Speaker 2: Time around, I'm pretty sure Kate Anderson was cooked at
10:59
Speaker 2: that point, and yet was left in the baseball game.
11:02
Speaker 1: More on that in a moment, But in.
11:03
Speaker 2: Terms of just his debut, for not having this good
11:07
Speaker 2: stuff to go out there and like not display, I mean,
11:11
Speaker 2: you know that it was the.
11:12
Speaker 1: Engine was reving in the red.
11:14
Speaker 2: It's your debut, Forty five thousand people have showed up
11:18
Speaker 2: for it, Your team's in a playoff race and are
11:20
Speaker 2: kind of counting on you. Hell, I called you the
11:22
Speaker 2: chosen one on Friday. Yeah, and so you know that
11:27
Speaker 2: the engine was red and hot on Saturday. But that's
11:31
Speaker 2: another part of his profile is that you can never tell.
11:35
Speaker 2: And so for him to go out there and the
11:37
Speaker 2: deliver the way that he does, I was very impressed.
11:41
Speaker 2: I know that he wasn't pitching his best and yet
11:44
Speaker 2: he still gave you every chance to win the ballgame
11:47
Speaker 2: on Saturday. And yes, with the injuries to wo and
11:54
Speaker 2: Now we may have won. With Bryce Miller. Absolutely, he's
11:57
Speaker 2: going to stay in the rotation if he doesn't, we've
12:00
Speaker 2: got a big, big problem with some people over there.
12:03
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think.
12:06
Speaker 5: He's never thrown more than eighty pitches either, So getting
12:09
Speaker 5: through that five innings one run baseball, I would have
12:12
Speaker 5: signed up for that any day of the week. He
12:14
Speaker 5: was at seventy two pitches at that point. I mean,
12:16
Speaker 5: I think he had five strikeouts in his outing, which
12:20
Speaker 5: is which is awesome. I thought it was a foregone
12:22
Speaker 5: conclusion at that point that because he even struggled through
12:25
Speaker 5: that fifth inning a little bit, he had the solo
12:28
Speaker 5: shot and then got the double play to get out
12:30
Speaker 5: of it. So the fact that he was left out
12:33
Speaker 5: there for the sixth ying was insane to me. Well,
12:36
Speaker 5: let's get into that. Yeah, he is the main subject
12:39
Speaker 5: the big Yeah.
12:40
Speaker 2: So yes, I do believe that that. I mean, this
12:46
Speaker 2: is a guy that has been pitching four five innings
12:48
Speaker 2: almost every outing in Double A Arkansas, and so it's
12:53
Speaker 2: not that he's not capable of pushing it further. And
12:57
Speaker 2: part of the reason that they've kept him to four
12:59
Speaker 2: and five innings down there is so that way when
13:02
Speaker 2: they did activate him, that he wouldn't be spent, that
13:05
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have thrown too many innings down at the
13:08
Speaker 2: minor league level when they're calling him up for what
13:12
Speaker 2: is a playoff bid. Okay, So I mean part of
13:15
Speaker 2: that goes into it, but the truth of the matter
13:16
Speaker 2: is that they have conditioned him all year long to
13:20
Speaker 2: only throw four and five innings so to get out
13:25
Speaker 2: of the fifth, And you're right, I think he started
13:27
Speaker 2: to show some fatigue in the fifth. And part of
13:32
Speaker 2: that is, oh, by the way, and I can't believe
13:35
Speaker 2: that it wasn't factored into the decision yesterday. When you
13:38
Speaker 2: pitch your debut, it's a it's adrenaline like you've never
13:43
Speaker 2: experienced before. Yeah, and that wears off and it fatigues you.
13:50
Speaker 2: So even if you did think that, hey, I know,
13:53
Speaker 2: we've kept him to four to five innings, but we
13:55
Speaker 2: can push him to six down the stretch and maybe
13:59
Speaker 2: eventually to seven. Maybe you can do that, but probably
14:03
Speaker 2: not on opening day. I mean, Paul Skeens is a
14:06
Speaker 2: Clydesdale and on his debut he pitched four innings. Yeah,
14:13
Speaker 2: and that was a ten to nine final, by the way, right,
14:16
Speaker 2: So it's not the easiest thing in the world to
14:19
Speaker 2: make your major league debut with all those expectations, all
14:22
Speaker 2: that hype all that time to think about your major
14:25
Speaker 2: league debut and wonder when I'm going to be activated.
14:27
Speaker 2: But they have specifically conditioned him to throw four to
14:31
Speaker 2: five innings. He was averaging five innings per outing while
14:35
Speaker 2: he was down at Double A Arkansas.
14:37
Speaker 1: And then here you go.
14:38
Speaker 2: You had an opportunity as he walks off the field
14:41
Speaker 2: in the fifth to say, okay, let's get him out
14:44
Speaker 2: right now. He gets out on a high note. We're
14:46
Speaker 2: actually winning the game right now, so let's go ahead
14:49
Speaker 2: and get him out of here, and let's move to
14:52
Speaker 2: our bullpen, which should have been able to go that
14:56
Speaker 2: day with your best guys. Is another thing we're gonna
15:01
Speaker 2: get into in a moment. But yes, it was a
15:04
Speaker 2: mistake to put him back out for the sixth, and
15:07
Speaker 2: fortunately there was a double play in there. Yes, But
15:11
Speaker 2: and then I had somebody actually teet out to me
15:13
Speaker 2: and goes, have a feel for the game, Bud.
15:15
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I mean most and look I'm singling out.
15:19
Speaker 2: I mean I tweeted out a couple of things and
15:21
Speaker 2: most people were agreed, We're on board.
15:24
Speaker 1: But you know, one guy, how was some feel for
15:26
Speaker 1: the game? Man?
15:27
Speaker 2: I feel for the game I mean he was tiring
15:33
Speaker 2: at the end of the fifth, correct, that's feel for
15:35
Speaker 2: the game. Yes, he got smashed by PCA off the
15:38
Speaker 2: top of the wall, lucked out with a double playball,
15:42
Speaker 2: and then ends up giving up two more Homer, do
15:46
Speaker 2: you know what happened? Feel for the game? Do you
15:49
Speaker 2: know what happens when a pitcher starts getting tired.
15:52
Speaker 1: They leave things up.
15:54
Speaker 2: And he started leaving things up at the end of
15:57
Speaker 2: the fifth and started off on the sixth leaving something up,
16:01
Speaker 2: and then left two more pitches up.
16:03
Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, you're trailing in that game.
16:06
Speaker 2: Rather than celebrating, Kate Anderson with a in a position
16:11
Speaker 2: to win a close ballgame, did the job. Gave us
16:15
Speaker 2: five innings in his debut, So yes, I do believe
16:18
Speaker 2: that was a mistake sending him back out for the sixth.
16:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, I almost take a step further. I was a
16:22
Speaker 5: little somewhat surprised that they didn't go and get him
16:26
Speaker 5: out of the fifth inning when he had the first
16:28
Speaker 5: and third, only one out right and that and he
16:31
Speaker 5: ends up getting out of it right, he hits the
16:33
Speaker 5: double play. It's like, okay, great, this is a perfect
16:35
Speaker 5: time to take him out. You literally just face the
16:37
Speaker 5: nine hitter. You're about to face PCA at the top
16:41
Speaker 5: of the sixth inning, top of the order for the
16:43
Speaker 5: third time through. We've heard that so many times over
16:45
Speaker 5: and over and over again. And then when PCA it's
16:49
Speaker 5: the double I was like, okay, there's no more left,
16:51
Speaker 5: easier face and say a Suzuki now, like take him out,
16:55
Speaker 5: and then nope, you get the double play there, and
16:59
Speaker 5: then you get too home runs from I believe it
17:01
Speaker 5: was happened Bregman. No, it's Bush and Bush and Bregnant.
17:05
Speaker 1: That's right.
17:06
Speaker 5: You don't take him out after the Bush home run
17:08
Speaker 5: to fit and then you have him faced Bregmant after that.
17:10
Speaker 1: So there's multiple instances where you could have taken them out. Okay, okay, yeah,
17:16
Speaker 1: but either way.
17:17
Speaker 5: But it's just there was nothing in that situation that
17:22
Speaker 5: would have told me that I would have let him in.
17:25
Speaker 5: Like there's there's times in bullpen decisions or indecisions where
17:29
Speaker 5: you can at least somewhat defend in your head, like, Okay,
17:32
Speaker 5: I could see what they were thinking there. I may
17:34
Speaker 5: disagree with it, but like there's a defensible reason why
17:37
Speaker 5: they did that. There is zero for leaving Kate Anderson
17:41
Speaker 5: not only out there for the top of the six,
17:43
Speaker 5: but outs after that as well.
17:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I agree with that, and then that leads.
17:48
Speaker 2: Us to the other thing that has to be discussed
17:49
Speaker 2: because I don't know if we're gonna have time for
17:51
Speaker 2: it again.
17:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna do a lot of football today.
17:54
Speaker 2: And that is it is impossible to run out of
17:57
Speaker 2: pictures as often as Dan Wilson runs out of pitchers.
18:01
Speaker 1: I mean, it's impossible. And look, I'm not behind the scenes.
18:07
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people out there that think
18:08
Speaker 2: it's all Justin and Jerry they got too many rules.
18:11
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, then I'm gonna I'm blaming
18:14
Speaker 2: Justin and Jerry. But if it's but there are other
18:18
Speaker 2: people that think it's Dan Wilson who just doesn't know
18:20
Speaker 2: how to manage a bullpen. This bullpen has been mismanaged
18:24
Speaker 2: all season long. Whatever whoever is to blame, this bullpen
18:28
Speaker 2: has been mismanaged all season long. You can't run out
18:32
Speaker 2: of pitchers two times in a week when your team
18:37
Speaker 2: leads the league in starting pitching innings. How in the
18:43
Speaker 2: world does that occur? And I'll tell you why, because
18:48
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, we still have a rule that our
18:53
Speaker 2: best relievers can't go back to back days. It is
18:57
Speaker 2: almost September. We had a game deficit heading into this weekend.
19:03
Speaker 2: How on earth are we not adjusting that? And if
19:06
Speaker 2: this is on Justin and Jerry, wake up. If it's on, Dan,
19:11
Speaker 2: fire him even now. Yeah, right, because this is absurd
19:19
Speaker 2: that we keep running out of pitchers when we have
19:23
Speaker 2: the fewest relief innings pitched in all of Major League
19:27
Speaker 2: Baseball by a country mile. Andres Moon, we ran out
19:31
Speaker 2: of pitchers twice this week, right right. Andres Munoz pitched
19:36
Speaker 2: twice six games, most of them pretty competitive, even the
19:42
Speaker 2: blowouts were at one point like, hey, we're in this, yeah,
19:46
Speaker 2: of course, pitch twice game. Spier pitched twice once, he
19:51
Speaker 2: threw two pitches. He pitched twice the entire week, but
19:55
Speaker 2: we ran out of pitchers twice. Bizardo pitched three times
20:00
Speaker 2: this week because he had to pitch yesterday because you
20:04
Speaker 2: mismanaged Saturday. Farrer pitched twice until yesterday and then it
20:10
Speaker 2: was the third, but he only threw twenty seven pitches
20:13
Speaker 2: the entire week until yesterday. Deminguez pitched two and two
20:19
Speaker 2: thirds innings. He had he was the only guy that
20:22
Speaker 2: went back to back out of the five at any
20:23
Speaker 2: point this week. That's not true. Farrera went Wednesday and Thursday,
20:28
Speaker 2: that's true. So yes, I understand you don't want to
20:30
Speaker 2: go back to back to back.
20:31
Speaker 5: Oh heaven forbid, Well, you saw what happen with Rutger
20:33
Speaker 5: when he did die yesterday.
20:36
Speaker 1: So back to back not once.
20:40
Speaker 2: The truth of the matter is, when Kate Anderson came
20:42
Speaker 2: out of the game, even though it was a one
20:43
Speaker 2: run game, we should have been throwing.
20:46
Speaker 1: Spire Bizardo, Munios Munyos.
20:51
Speaker 2: That's who we should have been pitching Insteadah, because all
20:55
Speaker 2: those guys pitched the day before, we can't pitch them
20:57
Speaker 2: the next day. We pitched all of the guys that
21:01
Speaker 2: are mop up guys in a close game, right, and
21:05
Speaker 2: then the next day when you need the mop up guys,
21:08
Speaker 2: you couldn't go to the mop up guys. You had
21:10
Speaker 2: to throw two of your high leverage guys because you've
21:13
Speaker 2: burned out all your.
21:14
Speaker 1: Mop up guys. Yeah. Yeah, sums it up, because.
21:19
Speaker 2: We have a rule still on August twenty third, that
21:23
Speaker 2: we can't have our high leverage guys going back to
21:27
Speaker 2: back games. Are you kidding? Me, that's how you run
21:32
Speaker 2: out of pitchers. Babying Gabe Spier all season long, where
21:40
Speaker 2: he can't throw more than two pitches a week, that's
21:44
Speaker 2: how you run out of pitchers. And I wrote down,
21:50
Speaker 2: I mean the Cubs used Jacob Webb their closer back
21:53
Speaker 2: to back games. They did it twice this week. Four
21:55
Speaker 2: times he pitched this week. That's how often a close
22:00
Speaker 2: pitches during a pennant stretch.
22:02
Speaker 1: Four times in a week, I wrote down.
22:06
Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Dodgers, I'm just like, let me pick
22:09
Speaker 2: the model franchise, the model franchise for how they do things.
22:13
Speaker 2: I don't have time to get into it, but maybe
22:16
Speaker 2: we will a little bit later on. But they're using
22:19
Speaker 2: the same number of pitches. They used a six man
22:22
Speaker 2: rotation at the beginning of the year.
22:23
Speaker 5: Yes, this isn't a we have one less bullpen arm
22:26
Speaker 5: he needs. Yeah, yeah, it's doable.
22:28
Speaker 1: Yes it is.
22:29
Speaker 2: And they just use six guys and Dave Roberts spaces
22:35
Speaker 2: it out.
22:36
Speaker 1: Nobody goes too much. Yep. And it's not like their
22:39
Speaker 1: starters are going longer either. No, they're not.
22:41
Speaker 2: No, and yet they had two extra inning games this week.
22:44
Speaker 2: They played in Colorado for three games this week and
22:47
Speaker 2: they still.
22:48
Speaker 1: Didn't sweat it. Evan Phillips pitched four times.
22:54
Speaker 2: Oh, god forbid anybody good throws four.
22:58
Speaker 1: Times in six days.
23:00
Speaker 5: Or god forbid any high leverage reliever comes in while
23:03
Speaker 5: we're losing.
23:05
Speaker 1: Yes, by a run.
23:08
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you had taken Anderson, now
23:10
Speaker 2: we would have been winning.
23:11
Speaker 1: Yes. All right, let's find out what's on tap? I
23:16

23:58
Speaker 5: Ten's of it too, I know. Hopefully we'll have time.
24:01
Speaker 2: Brian Wu looks like he might make his next turn
24:04
Speaker 2: through the rotation. I'm not sure Bryce Miller will. We
24:08
Speaker 2: can discuss those things later. Seahawks fell to oh and
24:10
Speaker 2: two in the preseason with a loss to the Tennessee
24:13

24:40

Speaker 2: the good song for this weekend? I? Oh, well, I
25:28

25:33
Speaker 2: And Andrews is just like, I'm going totally neutral. I'm
25:37
Speaker 2: not even gonna play one thing that suggests victory or defeat. Yes,

25:45
Speaker 1: Song, tootally dude song. Hey, that's actually what it's named.
25:48
Speaker 5: It's called doodle dude song in here, so it's perfect
25:52
Speaker 5: for that situation.
25:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, very very milk toast of you. Uh, great morning
25:57
Speaker 1: to you all.
25:59
Speaker 2: It is Mariner's Morning After, even though we played adoti
26:03
Speaker 2: le dood song to start it off, and we've got
26:05
Speaker 2: a highlight, a sound bite, a preview of what's going
26:08
Speaker 2: on tonight. And then at six forty five through seven
26:11
Speaker 2: forty five, all Seahawks Football, and of course Hugh Millen's
26:15
Speaker 2: joining us today as well at eight o'clock. His thoughts
26:18
Speaker 2: on preseason game number two, the loss of Bud Clark,
26:21
Speaker 2: the loss of Jake Bobo, a lot to discuss with
26:24
Speaker 2: our two experts here. It will be a Monday morning
26:27
Speaker 2: quarterback session coming up later on in the show, but
26:30
Speaker 2: we do Mariners morning after after every Mariner's game here
26:34
Speaker 2: at six point thirty it's our post game show. And
26:37
Speaker 2: the Mariners were looking for a sweep, an improbable sweep
26:41
Speaker 2: of the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, with the struggling Bryce
26:45
Speaker 2: Miller taking the mound for us in this contest, and
26:50
Speaker 2: he was hanging in there obviously, was not pitching very
26:53
Speaker 2: well and very uncharacteristic his lack of control. Bryce Miller
26:58
Speaker 2: ended up walking seven guys yesterday against the Chicago Cubs.
27:04
Speaker 2: And really the crusher inning was when he had two
27:08
Speaker 2: outs and he ended up walking back to back to
27:11
Speaker 2: back hitters and had to face a righty.
27:15
Speaker 1: Killer in Ian Hap. Runners all around with two outs,
27:18
Speaker 1: Miller's won two.
27:20
Speaker 6: Crack down the line, this is off the foul pull
27:26
Speaker 6: a grand slam.
27:31
Speaker 1: Now the power shows up for ian Hap.
27:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got that for Ian Hap. That was his
27:38
Speaker 2: twenty second home run on the year. The grand slam
27:40
Speaker 2: at that point made it to five to two. The
27:43
Speaker 2: Mariners had gotten off to a two to nothing lead
27:46
Speaker 2: in this contest. But Bryce just couldn't even get through
27:49
Speaker 2: the fifth six earned runs allowed, allowed just two hits,
27:54
Speaker 2: struck out five, but the seven walks killed him, and
27:57
Speaker 2: he just once again just looked like he was just
28:00
Speaker 2: struggling to get through innings yesterday and admitted afterwards there's
28:06
Speaker 2: a little bit to do with health, a health issue
28:10
Speaker 2: that he is dealing with right now.
28:12
Speaker 1: Let's actually hear from Bryce after the game.
28:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, probably the worst four start stretch I've
28:19
Speaker 4: had today. I gave up two hits and one of
28:25
Speaker 4: them was followed by three walks with two outs, and
28:31
Speaker 4: then like I'm fine with the the the solo home run,
28:37
Speaker 4: like whatever, it's good pitch. And then you know, I
28:43
Speaker 4: just don't make a pitch with the basis loaded one
28:46
Speaker 4: two count and you know, after the pitch before was good,
28:52
Speaker 4: I just pulled the splitter and you know, put it
28:54
Speaker 4: in a spot that you can get to it, and
28:58
Speaker 4: then you know, just go out and load the bases
29:01
Speaker 4: again with you know, in the fifth inning, and that's
29:05
Speaker 4: I mean, you have two hits, gave him six runs.
29:09
Speaker 4: So it's obviously frustrating. The whole last month has been frustrating,
29:15
Speaker 4: but yeah, I just gotta get back to who I.
29:20
Speaker 2: Am, Bryce Miller after the game, and he did mention
29:25
Speaker 2: he's not one hundred percent healthy right now either, and.
29:28
Speaker 1: That might be your excuse with Kate.
29:30
Speaker 2: Anderson having been activated in Brian Wu sounding like he
29:33
Speaker 2: had the bullpen session they were looking for that. You
29:38
Speaker 2: either put Bryce on the I L or just back
29:41
Speaker 2: him off, put him in the bullpen. Man the Cubs yesterday,
29:45
Speaker 2: see what a long reliever can.
29:47
Speaker 1: Do for in sevally.
29:48
Speaker 5: Imagine Bryce in that role, and then you don't have
29:50
Speaker 5: to worry about all these rules.
29:52
Speaker 2: Right yeah, and now, and now you don't you don't
29:54
Speaker 2: have to tell a guy that's not one hundred percent
29:56
Speaker 2: we need you to go six today, Yeah, you know it.
29:59
Speaker 2: Maybe just to ease him back in right now to
30:03
Speaker 2: situations and maybe he could play a nice role out
30:06
Speaker 2: of the bullpen down the stretch. Now that we're back
30:09
Speaker 2: to this issue of having six starters for five spots
30:13
Speaker 2: and we don't want to go to a piggyback and
30:15
Speaker 2: we don't want to go to a six man rotation
30:17
Speaker 2: primarily because.
30:19
Speaker 1: Our manager can't handle it.
30:23
Speaker 2: So the Cubs go on to a nineteen to two
30:25
Speaker 2: win again, though much like the previous week.
30:28
Speaker 1: I mean, it just got away.
30:30
Speaker 2: I mean, at one point you're still in the game.
30:33
Speaker 2: I mean, Heale's still talking about in the eighth inning
30:35
Speaker 2: seven to two. I kind of felt like we were
30:37
Speaker 2: in this thing still. And then you give up nine
30:40
Speaker 2: runs in the eighth inning and three more in the ninth,
30:44
Speaker 2: and before you know it, you've had to pitch two
30:47
Speaker 2: more positional players in the contest and another lopsided loss.
30:52
Speaker 2: The second this week, the second game started by Bryce
30:55
Speaker 2: Miller that ended up this way. So twenty two to
30:58
Speaker 2: nothing and nineteen to two yesterday.
31:00
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just not good.
31:02
Speaker 5: I mean, it's weird when you when you look at
31:04
Speaker 5: the week as a whole, and it a's the weekend
31:07
Speaker 5: as a whole. You could still take a lot of
31:09
Speaker 5: positives from it. You gained a game, you win two games.
31:11
Speaker 5: But I think the Bryce Millier situations about as concerning
31:15
Speaker 5: as anything because he just he like again just looked
31:17
Speaker 5: gassed yesterday, Like after he gave up the grand Slam
31:21
Speaker 5: the highlight we just played, you could see him just
31:23
Speaker 5: hunching over like, oh my god, I just want to
31:25
Speaker 5: get out of here.
31:26
Speaker 2: And well, for him to struggle that much with his control, yes,
31:29
Speaker 2: and everything off speed. Was was not even wasn't even
31:34
Speaker 2: brushing the bottom of the zone. It was everything was spiked.
31:39
Speaker 2: There's something not right right, And and so I'm trusting
31:44
Speaker 2: we're not going six man. I'm trusting we're not going piggyback.
31:47
Speaker 2: I'm trusting we're not going to delay. Logan Gilbert starts
31:50
Speaker 2: to try to figure out some magical combination. Dan Wilson
31:55
Speaker 2: needs everybody at his disposal. And I don't know if
31:59
Speaker 2: the rule are coming from on high and he's being
32:03
Speaker 2: told you can't ever pitch any of our best guys
32:06
Speaker 2: on back to back days.
32:07
Speaker 1: Dan.
32:08
Speaker 2: If that's the case, then shame on the front office.
32:11
Speaker 2: If not, shame on Dan for not knowing how to
32:14
Speaker 2: manage a bullpen.
32:14
Speaker 3: Well.
32:15
Speaker 1: And it's just you can't run out of believers two
32:19
Speaker 1: times in a week.
32:20
Speaker 5: No, And it it the situation you laid out earlier
32:24
Speaker 5: with when you needed your high leverage guys, you end
32:27
Speaker 5: up using your mop up guys. And then when you
32:29
Speaker 5: need your mop up guys, you end up using your
32:30
Speaker 5: high leverage guys.
32:31
Speaker 1: Well, I've used for Aaron Bizardo. We might be able
32:33
Speaker 1: to use them tonight. Man.
32:34
Speaker 2: Now we can't because we can't throw guys back to
32:36
Speaker 2: back game Phillies too, So yeah, that'll be fun. Yeah, well,
32:41
Speaker 2: trust me, Logan's gonna be They're gonna They're counting on
32:45
Speaker 2: him to go seven innings tonight. He didn't go seven
32:47
Speaker 2: innings a lot. He's not I mean, as good as
32:50
Speaker 2: he's been lately, He's not terribly efficient though.
32:53
Speaker 5: I think that's been one of the main issues with
32:54
Speaker 5: the Mariner starters this year, is like, you don't have
32:57
Speaker 5: the everyday six innings to runs from Brian wou that
33:01
Speaker 5: you normally have, and yet they lead.
33:02
Speaker 2: The league in quality starts by a mile. I know,
33:05
Speaker 2: they lead the league in innings pitched by a mile
33:08
Speaker 2: for starters, yes, for starting pitchers, yes, And yet this
33:11
Speaker 2: is the team that continuously runs out of relief pitchers.
33:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unreal.
33:17
Speaker 2: So tonight Phillies, who are red hot. Of course, they're
33:21
Speaker 2: red hot coming into town. They've won nine straight games,
33:24
Speaker 2: including a walk off Randy a Rose Arena type finish
33:28
Speaker 2: of their own yesterday, and they are going to be
33:31
Speaker 2: throwing Zach Wheeler at us. And look, he's one of
33:34
Speaker 2: the best in the game, but he hasn't been as
33:36
Speaker 2: good in the second half. I don't know what's wrong
33:38
Speaker 2: with Zach Wheeler, so maybe you can get to him
33:41
Speaker 2: and the Mariners will be throwing Logan Gilbert first pitch,
33:44
Speaker 2: excuse me is at six forty All right, we're gonna
33:47
Speaker 2: get into Seahawks. We've yet to really discuss anything about
33:50
Speaker 2: the game.
33:50
Speaker 1: Last night.
33:51
Speaker 2: We got Greg bell A seven oh five, Hugh at eight.
33:54

34:46
Speaker 1: Is going to look like the rest of the year.
34:47
Speaker 1: We had a lot of baseball stuff to discuss today.
34:51
Speaker 2: This is odd to have had even a preseason game
34:54
Speaker 2: and not really start diving into the Seahawks until six
34:57
Speaker 2: forty nine. But uh, that's how the old cookie crumbles.
35:01
Speaker 5: It does, especially this time of the year trying to
35:04
Speaker 5: get into playoffs.
35:06
Speaker 2: You know, I had an aunt Cookie really yeah, and
35:09
Speaker 2: an aunt Pull both really. All of my aunts on
35:12
Speaker 2: one side of my family apparently named after desserts Andy Claire.
35:16
Speaker 1: Do they think they're Do they name themselves? By the way?
35:19
Speaker 2: Uh no, they they did, not the kids name them?
35:22
Speaker 2: Uh no, Okay, no, I don't know.
35:26
Speaker 5: I like when you're saying, when when you have these
35:29
Speaker 5: nicknames for family members. This is a whole discussion of
35:31
Speaker 5: my family, by the way, bull gets that later, But uh,
35:34
Speaker 5: do you do you name yourself or do you have
35:36
Speaker 5: the kids choose your name?
35:38
Speaker 2: I think their given name was Cookie else I think
35:42
Speaker 2: it was Yeah. I thought it was like a nickname. Yeah,
35:44
Speaker 2: that side of my family, they're all Keebler Elves. Not
35:48
Speaker 2: a lot of people know that about me. Great morning
35:51
Speaker 2: to you all. Well we should dive into the sea
35:55
Speaker 2: auction now that I've talked about my aunts, my great
35:57
Speaker 2: aunts for a week. All right, So look, I don't
36:02
Speaker 2: really know what to do about this because you tune
36:05
Speaker 2: into a preseason game and the first thing that happens
36:08
Speaker 2: last night is, oh man, none of our starters are
36:11
Speaker 2: playing again, and it runs through your head like, I mean,
36:16
Speaker 2: shouldn't they.
36:16
Speaker 1: Play a little bit?
36:18
Speaker 2: And yet two or three plays into the game you
36:22
Speaker 2: lose a backup defensive back rookie, and you're like, why
36:26
Speaker 2: is anybody playing? Why do we play these games? And
36:30
Speaker 2: I think I'm just with Softy on this and that
36:34
Speaker 2: we shouldn't play them at all. And I think that
36:37
Speaker 2: someday that we'll get to the point where we're not
36:39
Speaker 2: playing any preseason games. But if somebody's gonna play, you're
36:44
Speaker 2: run the risk of getting hurt. And I don't care
36:46
Speaker 2: if it's a preseason game, regular season game, practice, I
36:50
Speaker 2: don't care what it is.
36:50
Speaker 1: I mean, Jake Bobo, Yeah, he got.
36:53
Speaker 2: Hurt in one of those scheduled fights with the Nashville Titans.
36:58
Speaker 2: We already knew that was going to be a dangerous
37:00
Speaker 2: But it's not like he got punched in the leg
37:04
Speaker 2: by another guy. That's just something that could happen in practice.
37:08
Speaker 2: Bud Clark got rolled up on, he got trapped, he
37:11
Speaker 2: got caught. It wasn't even really a football play. It
37:15
Speaker 2: was him trying to scamper away from a rolling pile
37:19
Speaker 2: and he just got caught. I don't know how you
37:22
Speaker 2: avoid that even in practice. So I don't think that
37:25
Speaker 2: those injuries really had anything to do with whether or
37:29
Speaker 2: not he should be on the field or whether we
37:31
Speaker 2: should be playing preseason games. I think it's football, and
37:35
Speaker 2: you're just gonna suffer injuries, but certainly you want to
37:39
Speaker 2: limit that and to have three potentially out for the
37:43
Speaker 2: season injuries, even though they're not the elite players, but
37:46
Speaker 2: Jake Bobo, Mason Richmond, and Bud Clark, their seasons might
37:50
Speaker 2: be done because of Nashville, because of what went on
37:54
Speaker 2: in Nashville this week.
37:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I really want to know. We'll probably never
37:59
Speaker 5: know how just truly feel about this. I want to
38:03
Speaker 5: know if in Mike McDonald's head it's worth the risk
38:06
Speaker 5: of all these injuries to play these games at all,
38:09
Speaker 5: Like if he would rather just practice and have everything
38:11
Speaker 5: under control and blow the whistle when he wants to
38:13
Speaker 5: kill it and go into a regular season without playing
38:17
Speaker 5: any preseason games. I really want to know if they
38:19
Speaker 5: if they feel like that it's worth all of these
38:22
Speaker 5: because I don't know, I really don't know if they
38:24
Speaker 5: do well.
38:26
Speaker 2: Football players can football coaches can't ever coach scared when
38:30
Speaker 2: it comes to SIS. Yeah, but and so he'd already
38:35
Speaker 2: made the decision. You already get a little insight into
38:38
Speaker 2: it because he's not playing as starters at all.
38:40
Speaker 5: And it's rare because almost everyone else's is aread he
38:42
Speaker 5: saw Tennessee's.
38:43
Speaker 2: Tennessee's played theirs for an entire quarter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:47
Speaker 1: And so there's something too. I wish we didn't have
38:52
Speaker 1: to play these at all, exactly.
38:54
Speaker 2: Otherwise you wouldn't worry about getting Sam Donald some reps.
38:59
Speaker 2: And there's also something too. It is football, and we
39:03
Speaker 2: would like to see Bud Clark in action a little
39:06
Speaker 2: bit more. And he played a lot the previous week,
39:09
Speaker 2: but he didn't see a lot of action. So let's
39:13
Speaker 2: throw him into the mix for sure, and then you
39:15
Speaker 2: lose him. I mean, I would take it. I'd take
39:19
Speaker 2: all the guest workout. If I were running it, I'd
39:22
Speaker 2: take all the guest workout. I'd eliminate preseason and I'd
39:25
Speaker 2: add another regular season game, and I'd add another bye week.
39:28
Speaker 2: That's what I would do. Yeah, that's what I would
39:30
Speaker 2: do with the season. But right now, you have preseason
39:34
Speaker 2: games to play. You've already chosen to sit your starters.
39:38
Speaker 2: You can't choose to also sit your second stringers for
39:41
Speaker 2: the entire game as well that you will need in
39:43
Speaker 2: your season. So yeah, it's just it's rough. But I
39:49
Speaker 2: think coaches, due to a degree, just accept the fact
39:52
Speaker 2: that it is football. And I'll say just this before
39:56
Speaker 2: we go to break. I know the team lost yesterday
39:59
Speaker 2: now nineteen to sixteen, but the second string was up
40:04
Speaker 2: sixteen to three on the first string starters. Yeah, the
40:08
Speaker 2: Titans played there. Jeffrey Simmons played two full series, cam
40:12
Speaker 2: Ward played three full series. He played into the second quarter,
40:15
Speaker 2: and when the Tennessee Titans starters left the game, the
40:20
Speaker 2: Seahawks second string was up thirteen points.
40:23
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
40:24
Speaker 2: So I know, you lose the game and every coach
40:28
Speaker 2: talks about you want to win every single game. But
40:30
Speaker 2: I have a feeling Mike was once he got to like,
40:34
Speaker 2: set back from it, step back from it a little bit.
40:36
Speaker 2: Probably pretty happy with the way things went for most
40:41
Speaker 2: of the game last night. All right, we'll get into
40:43
Speaker 2: it with Greg Nex Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
