• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Monday one half of it, and we'll get to that
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: coming up here in just a few minutes to wrap
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: up the m series. In Pittrick. Their broadcast is just
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: an absolute disaster today. They've got all kinds of technical issues.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to say this because everyone what this
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: is a favorite pastime of everybody to bash on broadcasts
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and broadcasts and production and you know, I don't know
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: who you're yelling at now, Mariner fan, because you used
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to just yell at Root Sports, Roots sports, fill in
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the blank, negative, right, that was everyone's thing. And having
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: worked on and off there for some freelance stuff for years,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and then being in the building for the last two
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: years with the Crack and Hockey networking. Yes, the Krack
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and left Root and did their own thing, but we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: still use the facilities and a lot of the same people.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: The people there are great, they're passionate, they're everything sometimes weird,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And if you've ever listened to this radio station, you
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: would know that sometimes broadcast equipment breaks, or it fails.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: You oh yeah, or the building catches on fire. You
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: never know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, all those things can happen. But it's weird watch
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I'll talk to Chris about this. It's weird watching a game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And Jess, you're not nearly as old as I am.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: But when I was, I was telling Greg this. When
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I was growing up, we had you know, back then,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: we had Monday Night. We had Saturday Game of the week.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Like nationally, there's like one game it was I don't know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: it's ABC or whoever had it. There wasn't even Fox
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: back then. But it was like a game of the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: week every Saturday for us on the West coast, like
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: ten in the morning, one o'clock in the afternoon on
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the on the coast, and it was the same teams
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: every time. It was the Yankees, Red Sox Orioles were
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: good back then. Jim Palmer's pitching, he's probably on whatever
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it would be, but it was that game. And then
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Monday Night Baseball. We had Monday Night Baseball on ABC,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: which was phenomenal. Loved I loved Monday Night Baseball, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: but that was again your team. Most back then, not
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: every game was televised, so the national games were a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: big deal for everybody. And there was no interleague play.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So if you if you you know you're a Mariner fan,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: hey there's nationally Dodgers are playing the Brats. Well, even
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: before T and T or TBS, like, hey man, you
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: didn't you didn't see the national league teams, So it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: kind of fun to watch. My point is this, when
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you're watching those games way back when, and I met
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a number of you probably remember this four nine, four
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: or five one on the to comea dotch Tex line.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: There's probably a lot of you that do remember when
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we were watching those games, there were no graphics like
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: score bugs.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was just a game.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you like, if you watch a highlight from
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: when Henry Aaron hit his seven and fifteenth, that was
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: on Monday night baseball. I'm not even been a Tuesday.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: They might have actually had a special show. But anyway,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: there's no gas. Then say at bat Aaron forty four,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: oh for one today and the score and all that,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the pitch, pitch count, splitter, sinker, you know, slider, all
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the stuff that pops. None of that was there. Well
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: they're stuff today. They've got some issues in Pittsburgh. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: would blame Pittsburgh, not the Mariners.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I do wonder who you're going good blame though? Are
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you gonna blame the Mariners? Are you gonna blame Root?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You can't blame Route. They're out of business. They shut
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: down the building May thirtieth, close it up, locked it up,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: thanks for coming. So who you blaming? But yeah, they're
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: having all kinds of issues. So I'm watching the game
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and I have no I I have to keep going
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: like what's the score, what's it? It kind of goes
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: send you a little cuckoo.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, I wonder how much more
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: pressure that puts on the television broadcasters right now.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Well, for a while to do it all, well, for
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a while they were doing like on the phone or
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a phone line too, So yeah, it was really bad.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So it's it's been. It's been a little bit of
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a gong show for them. But you know what, also
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that that also tells you that that's kind of exactly
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: how the game has gone too. So pretty much along
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the way, here's what's coming up today. You know, Arris
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: will join us at one twenty, our baseball guy or
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get in between Anders and Greg
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: getting mad at each other. But he knows a baseball
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: nerd and he freely bits that got great hair though,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: does he know brought to by George South Now he
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: likes Speer, brought you by Georgetown Brewing. He is going
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to join us coming up at one twenty, and we'll
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: talk to him about all things baseball, Mariners and other things.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: But I do want to ask him about the piggyback
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: because that's coming up on Saturday with Logan Gilbert piggybacking
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: with Emerson Hancock. I believe it is like what he
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: thinks of that, what people in baseball think of that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: This is a very unique situation. So instead of going
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to a six man rotation and going back to this piggyback,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that with him, and just the road trip,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: which is not starting out well for Seattle at all,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that. Danie O'Neil's gonna join us at
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: two pm today. Usually Danny is a Friday guest, but
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: we're I'm gonna think this will be three weeks in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a row. We're gonna do this with Danny. By the way,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: usually he's a Friday guest. Well, Tomorrow, Softy and Fan
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: are doing the twelve to three re show because at
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: three o'clock the captain of the Crack and Audio Network,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Michael Benton, he will be asking everyone to leave the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: premises that is doing sports radio and in the Crack
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and Audio Network will take over. Network Central will be
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: live from the thirty two Bar and Grill. NHL Draft
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: first round coverage starts at three o'clock tomorrow. I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the draft starts at four, but Mike's gonna anchor our
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: coverage and we'll do a phenomenal job. I think he's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: got like it's like Jackson when he's I heard Jackson
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: have like forty eight pages of notes. So as they're
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: starting their their soccer coverage, I think Benton's going to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: double that with the amount of prep that he will do.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: He here's that now it's a challenge.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll he'll have that. Meanwhile, Al and Everett and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I will just sit there and chime in when when
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: need be. So we'll be doing that from three to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: seven tomorrow. So since we won't be on normal time,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Danny's gonna join us today from the day apostrophe. There's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a ton of stuff to talk to him about. So
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: look forward to doing that a little bit later on
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: this afternoon as well. So we got a busy show
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: coming up today. Four nine four to five one is
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the Tacoma Dodge text line four nine four or five one.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I got a soccer thing I want to on it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I may get to that at one o'clock today, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it's more big picture. If I don't get to it today,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: we'll get to it later on. But World Cup tonight,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't mention this. The US is playing tonight against
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Turkey or is it tricky? A? Is that how you
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: say it now Turkey A.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I believe.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know what we're doing, isn't it Turkey Turkey?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Change their name? What are we doing?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're trying to say it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: They're like pronouncing it the way that the country's pronounce it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Zech Republic is now Chechia. You know, I don't know. Anyway,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: they're playing to night. It's a nothing burger game, however
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you want to say the opponent's name, Turkey Turkey A.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Whatever they are out, they're already been eliminated, and the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: US has already moved on to the round of thirty two.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: So it's effectively a friendly or right exhibition game. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: maybe we'll see rolled on, although it sounds like his
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: injury may keep Hi out of the lineup, which is unfortunate.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: But that's at seven o'clock tonight. Of course, again, we'll
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: have that for you right here on nine three point
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: three KTERFM. Mayors have lost. They lose a series, drop
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: two of three to the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh. Off
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to Cleveland now, so we'll talk about that. Our friend
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Christopher Crawford, you might have heard of him. He'll join
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: us coming up next.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your Home for the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Huskies Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Seattle's closest Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: All right, we got a final in Pittsburgh. Mariners dropped
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: two of three of the Pirates fall back to forty
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: one and forty one on the season, five hundred five
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: to one. The final of the Pirates over the Mariners.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: You know what, he's got to do his own. Mile
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Y later posted up on YouTube. You guys need to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: go look at that, because who knows. By the time
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: he does that, he may snap again. And there's nothing
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: like a good Chris Crawford snapfest on mile Y on YouTube.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But we'll see how calm he is. Right now, Manners
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: getting beat by the Pirates. They head off to Cleveland.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Now there's a lot of stuff to discuss. First of all,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: my friends, thanks for popping on. Let's talk manner baseball,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: shall we?
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Well, before we do that, I have to tell you
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: that if we were doing this over zoom, my username
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: was going to be Lance Pitlock. Do you remember Lance
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Pittlick And The reason why I used Lance Pittlick is
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: because I would rather pit lick than talk to you
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: about the.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Oh listen, I think you I really thought you would
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: have a hard time topping hock and Lube. Who was
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: our name last week? I believe the Yeah, oh I
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: got friend, buddy. I know you do, I know you do.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: For those wondering, Lance Pittlock is a former Florida Panther,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: by the way, played at University of Minnesota over the year.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So yes, indeed, really, really you'd rather do that than watch.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was the perfect storm of everything that
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: could go wrong. The broadcast had all kinds of technical difficulties.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: And I said this in the first segment again for
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: all those people that want to bash everybody and everything
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: about the broadcast. Listen, we work in broadcast. We do
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a show every day. We do what do we do
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: twelve thirteen hours roughly of radio every day live radio
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: actually fourteen now with the World Cup stuff, stuff breaks
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and broadcasting people. I'll ask you this as your computer
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: ever failed you, Okay, so let's not bash Like Aaron
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Goldsmith and Angie and MLB. They didn't want to have
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: they didn't want to have a nightmare broadcast with one camera,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: no postgame. Now, I think a no postgame show is
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: that's a whole different conversation. But they didn't want that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But I think it was actually fairly appropriate for the
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: game today to have the technical issues they had in
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: a five to one loss. Chris, we do this for
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Maliwa Monday. Let's just do it right now. Initial thoughts
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: from just today. We'll get to yesterday as well in
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a second and Brian Wu but let's just initial thoughts
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: from today, the five to one loss.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: They stink. I mean, they are a really bad baseball
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: team right now. And I believe this is now a
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: dozen games. It might be thirteen, it might be eleven, eleven,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: whatever it is, it's too many that they haven't scored
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: more than three runs when they had their chances today.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: By the way, real quick on the broadcast thing, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Pirates had the same issue, guys. It was not limited
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: to the Mariners. The Pirates. They used the MLB feed
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: and it was broken and it sucks. But it was
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: just a perfect chef kiss that perfectly encapsulates just how
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: things are going for this team right now. Because they're
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: not good at anything. They aren't great at pitching it
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: for sure. They are a terrible defensive team. And what
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: this offense has done over the last two weeks is
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: just garbage. It is absolutely what garbage that has been
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: set on fire and then somebody throws some maneure on
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: top of it, wets it up and lights it again.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Like this is what's going on with this offense right now.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: They can't get anything going. Even when they have their
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: chances like they do today, Nobody can come up with
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: a clutch hit. Nobody can come up with that two
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: run single or that three run homer that they've relied
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: on so much in the Year of Our Lord twenty
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: twenty six. They have been so dependent on hitting those
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: ding dongs over the fence, and they just start right now,
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: and if they are, they're solo ding dongs. And I'm
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: just I'm tired of the excuses too. It's not just injuries.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: It's not just playing a tough schedule, which they haven't done,
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: like they haven't played the absolute very best in baseball yet,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: or they've had their games against adultress. Pittsburgh's not a
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: great baseball team. And if you watched those games outside
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: of two winnings on Tuesday. Did they look like the
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: better team at all to you against the Pirates? Heaven's
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: to Murgatroy. No, they looked awful. And I'm tired of
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: the excuses of it just being injuries. I'm not saying
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: they don't play a part, but a lot of this
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: just has to do with them being a mediocre baseball team.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: And this is now over half a season. Yesterday was
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: the halfway point. Today was supposed to be the fresh start.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: It's just the same old, same hole. And I'm really
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: tired of people making excuses about it. I'm tired of
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: the Mariners making excuses about it. I'm tired of hearing
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: it from media, I'm tired of hearing it from social media.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: And maybe I'm just tired, but they have to start
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: looking like a legitimate team. We can't just keep saying, ah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: the injuries, They're going to get healthy. It looks pretty
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: damn healthy to me right now. And they're just not
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: very good. And I'm tired of just hearing about how
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: the division's so bad because they don't exactly have an
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: elite big lead on the division either. Suck.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Chris Crawford Rents are always good. I thought this was
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a saved for mile while later, but I'd still tunings.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: There could be part two. Let me let me give
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a couple numbers for our listeners. In a five to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: one Pittsburgh loss, Pittsburgh win over Seattle today again, Piers
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: take two of three from the Mariners on this trip
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: that started in Pittsburgh will go to Cleveland, which we'll
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: get to as well for the weekend. But in this
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: game with the Mariners, the numbers that jump out runners
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: in scoring position the Mariners were one for ten. JP
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Crawford had an RBI single that was it. Res Snider,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Naylor a Rose Arena, Julio twice, cal Emerson and Young
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: all had opportunities with runners in scoring position. All came
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: up empty. That's a big number that jumps out. You
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: mentioned it. This is this is why I've been doing
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: shows for a while. I've always appreciated because I think
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I was going down this same road and I brought
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: this up the other day. I think it was might
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: have been Tuesday that I brought this up. And I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: think with Chris, you and Nate and I talked about
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: this last year, the reliance on home runs. It's rap
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: They're significant for this team this year for Seattle, when
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: they hit a home run, they're thirty five and twenty
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: if you want to do the math. They have just
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: six wins this season, just six wins this season if
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they don't hit a home run, Like they have to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: hit home runs to win baseball games. And that's a
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to tell me that might be
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a little especially if you're runners in the scoring position.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Numbers are so woolful that might be a hard thing
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to sustain throughout the season.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, I mean the thing that's scary about that
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: too is and I know one of the reasons T
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Mobile Park. In fact, the biggest reason T Mobile Park
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: is so tough to hit in is because it limits doubles,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: it limits triples. It's one of the hardest places to
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: make contact. There's been a bunch of studies. There was
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: an article last year for my buddy Mike Petrolio about
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: how difficult it can be. But T Mobile Park isn't exactly. Ah,
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: it's not of course field like You're not going to
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: be able to just like batch the baseball out of
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: this place. That's concerning to me. It is concerning to
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: me that they are so homer dependent because the other
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: thing is, there's some guys on this team that don't
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: have great power. There are not a ton of them.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: We're not talking about like Omar Musquel in the early nineties.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: It's like lack of power, but like there's a few
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: guys here you're not counting on to hit thirty home runs.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: So those guys have to start getting on base more
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: often and letting the big boppers go. And the other
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: thing is, I mean this was even true for Big
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Dumper and in sixty homer season, they came in spurts,
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: right like there were two to three weeks stretches where
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: he had ten to fifteen home runs and then it
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: would loll for a little bit. Same for Julio. Julio
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: have been as homer streaky I think as any Seattle
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Mariner I can remember. So you have to be able
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: to provide some offensive oomph without hitting the ball over
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: the fence when the ball is not falling over the fence.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: And nothing I have seen from a single Seattle Mariner
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: this year has been good enough to suggest that they
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: are going to be good enough unless they are hitting
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: those homers. Man, they just have to I know, there's
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: a bunch of studies. If you if I said the
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: word clutch in front of Josie and Keith Law, they
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: would both if they were tall enough to beat me,
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: they would beat me. But they they got to clutch up, man.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: They have to start clutching up, and they have to
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: start being better with runners in scoring position or else.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: This is going to be a really long, sad, lonely summer.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: They had traffic Chris Crawford with US five to one
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Mariners Louise to Pittsburgh day. They had traffic a few
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: times and like that one for ten. Sometimes runners at
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: scoring position look at and go okay. Well they still
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: they got through it. This was a game that they
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: had to have better numbers because again they had guys
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: in scoring position. They had ten times they had at
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: bats with guys in scoring position and they had just
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the one hit. Let me just let me go down.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I trust your eye and what you're seeing Cal Rawles
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: is coming back is five I have for twenty six.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: He has one home run, three RBI's six walks. He
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: had three strikeouts today. I mean, his numbers are just awful.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: His slugging percentage for the season is three nineteen. We
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: think he's healthy, he's just not right just timing. Whatever,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: what are you seeing from cal right now? Because if
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: we're being honest, they need him. And I said this
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the other day. I think I said to you in
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Nate cal Rawley in junior July, I'm not really like whatever.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: They might be able to sleep walk their way to
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: a playoff spot. We need cal Rawley in August, September,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and October. But at what point are we concerned about
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: cal Raley.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: So and I totally agree with you. It's just he's
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: got to be better for October to matter, like they
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: need him to start putting more consistent results. I mean,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: I thought he was just really aggressive in this series
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: against the Pirates and it was great to see that
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: home run. That ball was absolutely destroyed. And you know
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: he did have a double in a walk today, but
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: the timing still doesn't look right, which is concerning because
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: he did go on a rehab assignment. And again, I
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: can't imagine how many times I have repeated myself with this,
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: but you can't stimulate major league pitching. It so hard,
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: and you know we've seen Randy Rose Arena come back
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: and what he you know, he got on twice today.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: They had a lot of guys get on twice today
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: and just couldn't get anybody home. But Randio rose Arena
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: looked awful. Especially, it was very obvious he did not
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: go on a rehabit sign page when he played in
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: those first couple of games. I think it's going to
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: take a little bit of time. I have a lot
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: of confidence in cal Rawley being a major impact player,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: assuming good health after the All Star break, but him
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: hitting second, him getting the overwhelming majority of advanced when
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: JP Crawford gets on base and getting so many chances here.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: They have to do better because a guy with a
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: two sixty one on base percentage and a three to
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: nineteen slugging percentage hitting second in a lineup that is
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: supposed to compete for a world championship just isn't good enough.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: No, And you know, the Rosa Raina two again, if
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: we're being honest, his one hit today was an infield
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: hit that yeah dribbled, you know, right, So I mean
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: he had and he did get on with the walk.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: But he's been your best offensive player or Randy Rose
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Araina this year. We're far away. We're a long ways
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: away from any throwing any shade his way, probably because
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: he's carried the offense. But yeah, that I'm I was interested.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: So Roley just kind of two over maybe over aggressive,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: what have you. Let's let's go down the pitching road
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: for a second. Chris. Bryce Miller goes five and two thirds,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: gives up five hits, three runs. They're all earned. But
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: here's what it was. He struck out eleven. It's fun.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It's like you look at the numbers and you go, damn.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Eleven strikeouts, no walks, five hits over five and two thirds,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: but only in three runs earned. They were all off
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: of the long ball. He gave up a two run
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: home run and a solo shot, so really two swings
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: did in Bryce Miller and the Mariners today. Miller seemed okay,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that wasn't the issue. Spire was fine, Bizarto got through
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: an inning, but then Hoppy comes in and gives up too.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it mattered. They were already down
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: three to one at that point, so it may not
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: have mattered.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it probably didn't. But I always like
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: to be within the ultimate baseball clichade of the bloopit
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: the last, like it just changes things much. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Alex Hoppy is just not ready, like he's not ready
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: to be And if it wasn't for the injuries, he
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: probably wouldn't be on the staff. But like Jerry Justin,
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: if you're listening, and I can't imagine they would be
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: listening to any other station right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Now, they're listening.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Got to go get a bullpen replacement. Man, you have
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: to go get another bullpen arm because you're gonna need
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: one anyway. And we are now student twenty fifth. It's
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: now that time where you start to see teams start
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: to make those types of acquisitions. But I thought Miller pitched.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, it looked pretty ugly in the first three
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: innings and I posted this on Blue Sky that like
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: anyone's due for a clunker, it's Bryce Miller. You can't
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: be this good for that long. Well after that to
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: run Homer, Bryce Miller was excellent and he had plenty
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: of carry on his fastball. It's a career high end strikeouts.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: By the way, Mitch Garver catching again, it seems like
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: anytime Mitch Garver catches, you have a chance to say
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: your career high end strikeouts. You also have a chance
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: to give up a bunch of home runs. There seems
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: to be no in between there. But I'm really encouraged
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: with what I've seen from Bryce Miller. The bullpen did fine.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: You know, I hear a lot of people and again,
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: I do think they need to make a move, But
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: a lot of teams would kill for the Schell Mariner's
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: bullpen to be able to have guys like the Zargo
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Spire Ris Munos, who has looked fantastic since his little
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: back issue flared up in Washington. That swing and miss
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: stuff has been readily apparent. They do need another arm,
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: but the pitching is definitely not the issue with this team.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: It's just this is Don Wakamatsu offense levels of aptitude. God,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: that is just killing this team. And I'm sorry for
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: people who have to remember freaking watching Jack Wilson hit
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: and the Ghost of Griffy for that second season in
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: the Reunion and it's just been that bad over this
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: last week plus and oh, it's just really frustrating to
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: watch this because they shouldn't be this bad. There are
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: too many talented players for this to be an int offense.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Chris Cami, I'm gonna go back to yesterday for a
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: second one of the weird that you know why we
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: love sports for a lot of reasons. One of the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: things about sports, unless Brendan Sorosby is involved, is the
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: unpredictable nature of what's going to happen, right, Like you
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: just don't know sure. And this is the weird. This
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: is the strangest one. And I don't know if you're
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: seeing anything. If you talk to people around baseball, they're
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: seeing anything. The Brian Wu Holman road splits are just remarkable.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's yea and yesterday another road start
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: started out really well and then runs into trouble. Wait
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: for it, wait for it, wait for it. One bad
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: inning and one bad inning later, one bad inning later,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: five runs, earned, a couple walks, and he only lasts
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: four innings and Brian Wu gets lit up again on
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the road. What the hell is going on there?
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's really interesting because I don't see
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: anything super different between where he's attacking and how he's pitching.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: I just it's crazy how much worse he's been on
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: the road. And I will say this, like all of
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: those runs I believe yesterday ended up earned where they
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: shouldn't have been. The defense yesterday was just awful. I
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: mean awful. I was. I was almost attempted to Paul
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: rich Moore and say, I need a late night show
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: because I need two hours to talk about Luke Rayley's
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: baseball game yesterday. Because Luke Rayley played as bad of
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: a baseball game as I've seen from the Seattle Marinery yesterday.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: He goes over four with four strikeouts, and yeah, WU
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: was getting it hit hard. But if he has an
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: outfielder who doesn't have hands of interer Washington State Cougar receiver,
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: stop it. They don't. No, I did it. I left there.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: I left there, I left there. I had to do it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: I've been very friendly. I get one. I get one
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: every time I've all.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: There to do this.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: If Luke regse he can just make a freaking play
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: that timid damage gets limited to two or three runs.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: But he allowed extra runners to move because he looked
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: like a guy playing against Betton's kitt and little league
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: man like, you can't. You can't be that bad in
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: the corner outfield and strike out four times in aesthetic
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: at bats. And I know we whacked poetically about Luke
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Brayley just a couple of weeks ago. I'm not having
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: fun watching him play.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Baseball Man Chris also points out with the feeling this
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: is a good good reminder that when people bring up
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: fielding percentage, it means nothing because just because because Raley
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: had Raley had one air yesterday, JP didn't have any today.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: But I'll let you if you want to talk about
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: your son's play a third. I mean, so it's the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: balls you don't get to. And hell, the thing with
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Wudo yesterday there were two balls that were rockets right
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: off the get go that I think Julio did get
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: to right so like it was so like he kind
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: of goto got a little bit bailed out in that regard.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: But like you're saying, good point, but like you're saying,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: there's other balls, like adequate outfield play that changes the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: dynamics as well. Right, it's not the air, it's just
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the fact that you didn't get It's like if you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: or I were playing in right field or left field,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: you're like, okay, well, like it's not an error because
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: they didn't have to go off their glove, but they
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't get there, Like they just couldn't get the most right.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: I totally forgot about Randy rose arena play and left
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: field yesterday too. That to not be able to get
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: to that ball for that ground rule double was just atrocious.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: But their corner outfield at play has been so bad
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: this year, with the exception of Victor Roboz. I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Roblos has been fine out there. But that's the thing, man,
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: it's it's not fielding percentage. If it was just fielding percentage,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: then defense would be a lot each year. Right. It's
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: not your video game where your guy automatically gets to
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: the baseball and it's up to you to hit the
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: triangle button in time to make the catch or anything
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: like that. It's about having range and being able to
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: make plays. And boy, JP Crawford looked rough Pumpkins at
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: third base this weekend and or this week excuse me,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: and I expected some ups and downs, but boy, it
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: was really rough. The throws that he made. The lack
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: of range that he has at third base is just
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: it's still an issue. It's less of an issue than
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: a shortstop, but it's still an issue. And this team
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: is bad at run prevention, which sucks because with what
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: they have with their starting pitching, and I know there's
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: been some muchs and downs there and the bullpen, which
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: has had some muchs and downs. It's still to me
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: a team built on preventing runs and then scoring enough
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: to get those w's. Well, one third of the team
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: is well below average at it like well, well well
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: below average, such an important facet of the game, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: I just don't know how you improve it without making
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: massive roster moves.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would tend to agree along along
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the way as well. I mean, it's just it's just that,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, I believe this is just coming out
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: now that more Chris on Baseball with the negotiation with
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the MLBPA is coming out. Yeah, have you seen this?
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: A salary cap floor Model.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Seven wrote about it for Road the World about ten
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: minutes ago.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty seven cap of two hundred and forty five. Actually,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: just do the can you stick around one more saving?
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I think this is important because a lot of people
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: in the baseball world, and I'm sure if you wrote
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: about it for your real job with Rotal World, there
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: seems to be a lot of concern, maybe more concern
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: than we even had before about a work stoppage. So
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: we'll keep Chris one more segment, Jess. This is pretty
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: significant what MLB's doing, and Chris just wrote about it,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: which is great. That's why we have you on, Buddy,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: give him a raise, Jess, Will you like we're throwing
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: races around here at iHeart all day, right, so.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: We always of nothing. I'm just kidding. Chrissy are the best.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: We'll keep Chris get We'll lean on you for this
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: because we'll get away from the five to one Mariner
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: loss and talk about what the future might look because
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: MLB is on a full blown media campaign right now
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: against the players, trying to get fans on their side.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Next Now, back Dean Furness on your Home for the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Husky Cracking and The twelfth Man, brought to you by
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Seattle's closest snow called Me Casino and Hotel on Sports
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: H Right, we're back, Marriers lose five to one. We've
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: we've done that. We've we've taken that and beaten it
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: to death. We're done. Well, we'll wait till Nathan can
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: join us and take a little pressure off Chris on
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Monday when they go to right, Chris, real fast. Chris
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Crawford is still with US. Cleveland been pretty good team
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: most of the season. Right now though now they're tied
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: in the American League Central with Chicago at forty two
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: and thirty nine. What to expect from the series this weekend.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: It's a very average baseball team. It's just a it's
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: a team that has eighty to eighty five one talent
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: and so it'll probably not go very well for Seattle.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, that's good to know. Well didn't We just
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: could could if I would have asked you that on
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Tuesday about the Pirates, same thing, so you said the
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, very c took way better ballpark and they
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: have be done. So that's a difference.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Fantastic. About an hour ago, Major League Baseball tweeted out,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I tweeted out, posted whatever. The following. Biggest issue baseball
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: fans want solved to strengthen the game is fixing the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: player disparity that leaves too many fans without hope of
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: their team competing for a World Series title. Every other
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: major league US sport has tackled this problem. Every year,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: more small market teams than those leagues have a chance
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: to win, et cetera, et cetera. Ultimately, the game is
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: about hope and competition. Too many fans and too many
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: markets have too little hope for their team. Fans overwhelmingly
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: support a salary cap and a floor. So MLB at
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: a full pledged media campaign, here's what we're proposing, a
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: salary cap and floor model the levels of playing field.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: The cap would be two hundred and forty five the
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: floor would be one hundred and seventy one million each.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: So you just wrote about this Chris offer for a
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: rotal world. What's your take on this.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Way it is?
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: It's going to get ugly, folks. It's going to get
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: really ugly. And the MLBPA has already issued their response
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: that these are basically non starters. There is a bunch
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: of stuff that came out today, like, for instance, they
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: want to have a limit on how long contracts can be.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: They want to have five years be the limit for
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: players who sign with a new club. They want it
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: to be six for teams players that re sign with
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: their previous club. They want to completely get rid of deferrals.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: They want to now they agreed to get rid of
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: the qualifying offer as part of this, which for those unfamiliar,
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: it's basically a one year thing where you offer a
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: player one of the higher salaries than if the player declines,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: that they can get a draft pick and some other
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: tiny concessions. But the MLB is and I'm sorry for saying,
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: the MLB, major League Baseball is going hard and this
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: is the fact they're going to social media with this
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: stuff just speaks to that they are. They are not
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: I almost said a really bad word around. They are
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: not screwing around, and the MLBPA is not going to
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: screw around either because and not to get to what
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: my side on this is, I think people who know
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: me know what my side on this is, the reason
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: those leagues have been able to agree to salary caps
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: is because they open their books. They open their books
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: and they agreed to revenue sharing. Are major league owners
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: going to be willing to open the books and show
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: just how much money they're making off of this league
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: and create an actual revenue split like the NFL and
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: the NBA have. I don't know, but I'll just tell
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: you this, I will be absolutely stunned, and boy do
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I hope I'm wrong stunned if we are playing baseball
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: in April of twenty twenty seven, because I think that
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: they're just so a far apart on so many issues.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: And the MLBPA has had such a stronghold on not
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: having a salary cap, on not having limits to contract stuff,
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: that giving that up without getting a substantial amount of concessions,
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: and that opening of the books that shows what teams
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: are making. I don't see us playing baseball in April
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: of twenty twenty seven. But you can still have me
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: come on to talk about the crackt.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll do that. Uh, yeah, we will do that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking. I believe, I believe, and I could
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: be wrong, but let's just say, just for argument's sake,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: So the salary cap floor of one seventy one point
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: two million, I believe there's almost half the league doesn't
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: even get to that right now? Is that right? Does
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: that sound right?
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: It's correct?
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I think the owners in fact would be right up
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: against it based on their current payrolls. So they would
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: have to add some salary in order to reach that figure.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Because Chris So, that makes me, That makes me think
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the following dance with me on this a little bit.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: So if if we're Major League Baseball is saying listen
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: as as a group as a group of owners, you
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: need to spend this number because they're not making their
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: books available right as you're saying, But MLB knows what
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: these guys. MLB knows what these teams are making, right,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: they know what these teams are making. They have to
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: of course, So you know what that tells me that
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of owners that are just pocketing
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: cash and not investing in the product. And not investing
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: in the product. So I understand, like I understand the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: trepidation with the with the with the cat, it'll never
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: happen to me. Give me a floor. I don't care
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: about the cat, but give me a floor if you want,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: if you truly want competitive balance, I think it's the
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: floor that has to be the can the bigger part
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: of this thing. Everyone's gonna talk about a cap, but
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I guess the floor that we have to talk about.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Ian, if I was in studio right now, we would
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: be embracing because I couldn't agree with you more man
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: that that is the issue with major League Baseball right now.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: It is not the Dodgers, it is not the met
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: is not the Phillies. It's the Athletics, it's the Rays,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: it's the Marlins. It's these teams that do not invest
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: because they don't have to. There's no reason for them to.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: And because of the way MLB's structure works too, you
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: can have really good baseball players for six years without
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: paying them a relative I understand that hundreds of thousands
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: of dollars are a lot of money to most people,
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: not Ian and Jess because of their just massive contracts,
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: but huge West of us, most of the normies, there's
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: a lot of money. It ain't a lot of money
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: for major League baseball players. It's just not And if
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: people can please get through their heads that you cannot
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: compare the guy who works at Denny's to major league
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: baseball players, I would really appreciate it, Like it's just
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: not the same thing, you know. It is just a
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: good talking point for you. That's the issue with major
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: League Baseball. But there's just no way in hades that
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: major league owners are going to be willing to have
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: that floor without having a salary cap as well, And
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: that stinks. I hate it. I think it is just
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: an absolute crutch. And I think Joe has said this.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: By the way, all of Joe's stuff about the draft yesterday,
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: I was just saying hell yeah in my car while
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: I was listening to that guy talk because that guy's
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: just sees postpart and he hit the nail on the
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: head about all of that stuff. The issue is that
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: not those teams that are trying to make themselves better
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: and put a better product, excuse me. On the field,
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: the issue is is that you have close to forty
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: percent of the league not caring whats soever about the
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: results on the field, and a bunch of them caring
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: enough about the results on the field, but not more
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: than the bottom line. That's a bigger issue for Major
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: League Baseball. You can tell me all you want about
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: how the salary cap has fixed the NFL or fixed
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: the NBA crap. Absolutely what fixed the NFL and l
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: MLB is the sharing of revenue. The sharing of revenue,
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: and if Major League Baseball wants to share revenue, then
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: I'm begrudgingly okay with the salary cap. If you're not
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: willing to do a revenue split and show what that
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: revenue is, absolutely not too a hardcap ceiling, mile y.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Go subscribe, It'll be on YouTube. What are you taping,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: mile yen? When can you watch that later today?
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Oh gosh, probably around four o'clock. I'd really appreciate it
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: recapping every single Seattle Mariner game. And I'm a little
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: annoyed that at my my screeching for you instead of my,
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: Oh you've got a lot to make about seven dollars.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: But I got it. I'll get I'll take a little nap,
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: I'll drink a diet Fresco, and I'll be right.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: My guess is by the time you take mile while later,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: people can get home tonight after work and listen to it.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: You'll snap again, which I love about you. So go
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: do that. We'll talk to you on Monday, my friend,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: thank you. That's great, the great Chris Crawford mody does
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: it better? Sensational stuff? God, yeah, this, I'm glad we
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: got it into the salary cap stuff that is. We'll
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: touch it on that because I'll give you the actual
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: numbers in a second. It's startling how many teams are,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: at least in terms what they pay. As Nathan Bishop
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: would say, just not serious about winning. We'll do that next.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: No from the Star Rentals Sports to us your ninety
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: three point three k j R FM sports.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Head All right, headlines have brought to you by Frostbrued
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: cors Light, Choose Chill. Ems just lost to the Pittsburgh
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Pirates about an hour ago. That went final five one
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh over Seattle. MS lose two of three in the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Steel City. They lost last night as well, eleven to
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: one big in Pittsburgh. Brian Wu went just four innings
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: last night. Bryce Miller was pretty good today. He's only
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: made two mistakes, both home runs, a solo shot and
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: two run home run, and that was enough. Because the
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Ms can't score runs. They have now had eleven straight
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: games where they have scored three or fewer runs eleven
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: in a row. July or I'm sorry, June twelfth, when
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: they scored ten against Washington, the last time they put
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: up more than three on the scoreboard for Seattle. Miles
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: master Bony included Waiver's been outrighted to Tacoma World Cup

• 40:36
  Speaker 2: right here on KJR your home of the World Cup.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: NHL Draft begins tomorrow afternoon. Cracking is slated to pick
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: at number seven preview show and all the coverage at
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: thirty two Bar and Grills starting at three o'clock tomorrow
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: with the Kraken broadcast team. Let's go to our number
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: two moving along on this Thursday afternoon, a day for
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: the Mariners, four nine, four to five one. We'll get
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: your text going up at two thirty today. Thoughts, comments,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: questions of concerns. You heard Chris Crawford the last couple
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: of segments talking about it. Yeah, the offense is a problem,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. There's a lot of things
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: going on. I think just the runners in scoring position today.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: We mentioned this with Chris. They were one for ten
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. They had a single from
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: JP Crawford that scored a run. That was it. After that,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: they couldn't get anything going. They had plenty of base runners,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: they had some traffic on the bass pass and they
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: just couldn't get it going. Garber scored on that single
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: by Crawford and that was it. And JP didn't have
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: a great game either. He was one for five. That
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: was his only hit. Didn't walk, but it was Miller
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: probably deserved better. Spier Bizardo did their job. Hoppy is
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: as was said by Chris, just isn't the guy at
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: this point in time, gave up two and they probably mattered.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Those runs probably did matter. As Chris said, bloop and
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: a bomb, you know, single on a home run, you're
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're back in it. You tie
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: the game. But they gave up a couple there in
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: the in the eighth inning and it was over five
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: to one. The final yesterday was even worse in a
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: lot of ways because you look at what happened with
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Brian Wu yet again on the mound for a road game.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yet again struggles on the mound in a road game.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: The splits just make no sense whatsoever. He talked about
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: it afterwards. He was frustrated. He's like, I don't know.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a same planning, same everything, just different ballpark.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: But he can't pitch on the road effectively at all.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: And more just more importantly, the team, I mean, they
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: went back to back the last two games in this
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: series that they lost, they were combined two for twenty.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Think about that, they were combined two for twenty with
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: runners in scoring position over the last two games. You're
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: not going to win very home run reliant forty one
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: wins this season, thirty five of the forty one wins
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: have come because they've hit home they've hit a home run.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Of those games, it doesn't guarantee you win. They've lost
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: twenty with hit a home run, but boy, if they
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: don't hit a home run, their odds of winning are zero.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I mean, that's that's what's that's
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: kind of again, that's one of those numbers that Chris
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: and I were talking about this and we'll mom be
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: wapping on Monday with Chris and Nate. That's one of
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: those numbers that you just kind of go, wait a second,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: you're six and twenty. When you don't hit a home run,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: you're so home run reliant. And again thirty five or
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: forty one, you've hit a home run this season. So
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: the bigger news, though, bigger picture news, I should say,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: has come out of what's going on with Major League
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Baseball and it's ongoing I don't want to say negotiations
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: because that's not what this is. It's it's ongoing battle
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: of pr with the Major League Baseball Players Association, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: as Chris mentioned, he goes it just feels very much
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: like we're going to see a workstoppage at some point.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of elements to it. Maximum contract length
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: of five years of for free agent switching teams, six
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: if it's your own guy, no deferred contracts, qualifying off
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: for gone five years to free agency for players thirty
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: year old. There's a lot of things involved. The one
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: thing that everyone's talking about though, as a salary cap,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: and as I mentioned with Chris, to me, it's it's listen,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: if a team wants to spend four hundred million dollars
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: on a on salaries, then so be it. You do you,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: But you look right now the Mets at three twenty nine,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Dodgers over three hundred million, Yankees right around three hundred million,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Toronto not too far behind Philadelphia, Atlanta, all these teams
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: spending a ton of money. The bigger issue to me
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: is a floor. I think that's and that's that's what
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I would like to see happen. It's probably one of
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: the most unrealistic things I could ever say, but I
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: want to see a floor. And the salary cap floor
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: right now that they're proposing Major League Baseball is one
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy one million dollars just for art, just
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: for for some context, there there are fifteen teams above that,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: and there are fifteen teams below that right now in
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. Among the teams, the last team in
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: it at one seventy five one hundred and seventy five million,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Angels. These are the teams that are
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: below the salary cap floor that is being proposed. Baltimore, Seattle,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: and this is in order, by the way. Baltimore, Seattle,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, coll Rattle, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: the Athletics, Saint Louis, Washington, the White Sox, Miami, and Cleveland.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Of those teams, the Athletics, Saint Louis, Washington, the White Sox, Miami,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: and Cleveland are all under one hundred million dollars. They're
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: all under one hundred million in terms of their payroll
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: right now. Now, if you look at a lot of
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: the teams I just mentioned, let's if you want to
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: call it small to medium market, Baltimore would fit that category.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Minnesota, borderline. We'll keep them out
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: of it for now, just for argument's sake, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: the Athletics, for sure, Lewis, Cleveland right about half right
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: around half of those teams are medium to small market
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: teams that are below the salary cap or I'm sorry,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: below the salary floor. If I'm listen, I don't know
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen with this. I'm rooting for the floor.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: I don't really care about the cap. The cap to me,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. If a team wants to spend and they've
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: got great ownership, I don't think they should be penalized.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that was our biggest frustration with
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: the Legion of Boom back in the day. If Paul
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Allen could have kept everybody that they wanted to keep,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: not necessarily they didn't necessarily want to keep everybody, but
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: if they wanted to keep everybody, you could have built
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: a dynasty here. Great drafting by John Schneider, great personnel
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: evaluations by John Schneider. He would have loved to have
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: kept everybody that wasn't realistic under the NFL salary cap.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: You know, we're seeing this with the NHL right now.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I mean there's people screaming in all about guys getting
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: overpaid and it's bumping up against the salary cap. And
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: I agree, get I get that. I think if you
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: have good ownership and good scouting. You shouldn't be penalized
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: for it, I think. And again, a lot of them
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: are big markets. New York, La Yankees, Toronto's big market, Canada,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia big market, Atlanta big market, Houston big market. Those
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: are all your top ten teams. The one outlier, San
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Diego at number nine, two hundred twelve million dollars. Good ownership,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of money, pack the ballpark. Good for
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: them spending some money. Now, not all money is wisely spent.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: San Francisco's number eleven, they're awful, right, And I just
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: mentioned some of those other teams in there that aren't
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: very good this year, but by and large spend win
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: good ownership, good talent evaluation to get those guys.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: I think the bigger issue in sports we brought this
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: up the other day the NHL is going through this
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: big time right now, is the no movement clauses, Like
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: if you can't trade guys without their approval, that's really
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: hard to do. But Chris Men mentioned of it, wrote
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: about it in Rotal World, and go check it out.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about a little bit more Monday. This is
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: a this is a this thing's going to come to
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: an head in this offseason. Doesn't sound like end season
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: like ninety four or anything like that. But this sounds
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: like this is going to come to a head in
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: the offseason and it's not going to end well, and
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: we may not see baseball next April. It may be
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: a delay to start of the season because this is
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: the first time since the nineties the Major League Baseball
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the owners have truly dug their heels in and said
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: we want a salary cap. So we'll see where it goes.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Speaking of baseball, Eno Sarah's our baseball guy. He's our nerd.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: He joins us.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Next, it's time for our weekly visit with Eno Seras.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: So the Athletics the best baseball insight you'll get from
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: a nerd with big league gear.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: He likes picks of grips, food and beer. Well, always
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: greaming up the next.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Big baseball staff brought to you by Georgetown Brewing, Brudwick
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Northwestern Gredians in Seattle's historic Georgetown neighborhood, featuring local favorites
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: like Many's Pale ale, Ody's upa Ipa, and Georgetown Tavern.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Beer available in the tap room seven days a week
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: and throughout the region. Look for Georgetown Tavern Beer at
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: T Mobile Park and ask for yours today now with
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I and here's Zeno.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Big thanks for our friends at Georgetown Brewing Junior's Office.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Still on tap in growlers. Also, you can find it
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: in the local grocery stores as well. At A good
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: buddy of mine who's a big beer guy, goes, hey,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: if I tried the Junior's office, says that to me yesterday. No,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: fell I haven't tried it at all. Come on, man,
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: what are you talking about. Let's go about you know.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Sarahs joins us right now, Hello, sir, how are.
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: You doing great? Doing great?
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: We're not doing great here in Seattle, losing two of
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: three to the Pittsburgh Pirates over the last two days,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: falling to forty one and forty one on the season,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: and trying to figure out. I guess the good news
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: is it's the muddled mess. It is the Major League
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Baseball American League this year. I guess maybe it doesn't matter.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: At what point? What point should we be concerned about
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: our baseball team that we had such high expectations for.
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: There are two teams in the American League with a
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: positive run differential, meaning they're scoring more than they're allowing.
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: So yeah, the the American League is in a state
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: this year. I also say, sometimes it's hard to tell
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: when you when you run into a single team, you
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: know when it's bad offense or when it's good pitching.
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, the Pirates do have good pitching. They're a
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: good run to mention teams. So that's got a factor
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: in partially to to what's happened. And at least, you know,
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: bryceon Miller pitch pretty well today. I'll you know, aside
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: from freer and runs, I mean, eleven strikeouts and zero
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: walks usually do better than what he did.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just it's, you know, two swings the bat.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: He gave up a two run home run and a
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: one and a solo home run and that was And
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: the team itself, Mayors haven't scored more than three runs
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: in a game since June twelfth. It's a streak of
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: eleven straight games. Uh. And yeah, it's it's like you said,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: they run Pittsford's got some guys that can pitch. But
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I think the problem with Pittsburgh is and this is
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: a Mariner problem. You know, they've got really good left
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: handers out of the bullpen. And that's that's like the
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: bugaboo for Seattle. Like you, they see a left hander
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: and it's like they wilt in the sun. It's I've
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: never seen anything like it. It's and that it doesn't
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: seem to read a way to fix it because it
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: ain't Rob Refsnyder.
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and it is a little difficult, you know, to
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: to find, you know, like an everyday spot for a
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: right hander, if you if you are looking to squeeze
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: one more in other than you know right now, Juliocal
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: and Randy, you're looking at roeb Leaves, you know, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: you know, I think you want to start rarely there,
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: you know, against right handers. So you're looking for a
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: part time if you like, I'm thinking like the trade
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: the line. Are you looking for a part time right
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: hander that's better than Victor Roeblis, you know, like that
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: seems like a kind of a small needle hole to
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: try and thread, you know.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: No, I would agree. You know, Sarah's joining us. Okay,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Ever since we found this out a few days ago,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: I said, I can't wait to get to ENO's thoughts
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: on this. I have no idea where you're going to
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: go with it. No, idea, what you're going to think
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: about it? So that makes it even better radio when
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: I ask you the following, the Marriners are going back
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: to the piggyback, this time on Saturday. They're gonna use
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: the piggyback with the reigning American League Player of the
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Week in Logan Gilbert along with Emerson Hancock. I'm trying
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: to as I say that out loud, and you're chuckling.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Trust me, we've been chuckling, but not in a good
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: way the last couple of days. You know, makes sense
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: of this for me or can you?
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, they're a tight group, they're well knit. They
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: they're looking out for each other. You know, I'm sure
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: that Logan said, you know he's willing to do it,
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: then everybody's willing to do it. I don't think it's
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: hurting them to them that much in the short run,
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: and I think it'll help them in the long run.
• 52:58
  Speaker 7: But it does seem ridiculous when you do see Logan Gilbert,
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: who I think he pitched six and had like ten
• 53:03
  Speaker 7: eleven strikeouts the last time he was out. Yeah, you know,
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: you're kind of like, this guy doesn't need a piggyback,
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: but you know, maybe you know, take a breather in
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: this one. Just go five, you know, get four from
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: the other guy, keep everyone stretched out. I'm okay with it.
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: I'm still okay with it. The piggyback update still is
• 53:23
  Speaker 7: a mostly thumbs up. I am watching Emerson Hancock though,
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: because his arm slot keeps dropping, his vert on, his
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: force team keeps dropping, he becomes more and more of
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: a side armor. The more and more you are a
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: side armor, the more you are print prone to platoon splits.
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: So you know, if that force team keeps losing VERT
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: then he doesn't have then he'll become more and more
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: susceptible to lefties. So you know, if that's something we see,
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: it could be enough to say, hey, let's option you,
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: not because you've been terrible, but because we see these
• 53:59
  Speaker 7: things in your mechanics and you see these things in
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: your numbers, and if we think that, like if we
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: can put you in the minors right now, where you know,
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: it's not about the competition, it's more about let's see
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: if we get that arm angle up, or let's see
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: what we can do about this. Maybe you could stop
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: something before it becomes a big deal.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: What Okay, I'm curious about that that that that that
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: that arm angle in the slot? Is that a is
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: that fatigue? Do you think or I mean, because this
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: is something that you study this stuff, you've obviously seen
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: it before. Is there a common theme to why that
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: would happen.
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: Generally? You know, over time pictures arm angles drop a
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: little bit, so you know, fatigue, injury, and you know
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: injury that is a listened to a load of topic.
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's injury, but you know your body
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: is trying to find a comfortable place, right, so maybe
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: there's just something that's uncomfortable about you know.
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: Where it was before.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: You know, the arm slot is also very tied into
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: just like basically your arm comes out of your trunk,
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: right and so you know, armslought ends up being back tilt,
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: you know, you think about it, arms just really comes out.
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: And then even that, if you watch guys who are
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: assuming over the top, they're just bending their back like
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: just imagine sort of you know, taking your head and
• 55:16
  Speaker 7: pushing it closer and closer to the ground. You know,
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: like that's how you get your arm up, you know,
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: So it could be this is the kind of injury
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: or thing on time I could be back tightness, it
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: could be fatigue in the back where he's you know,
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: he's no longer able to pull it or whatever. So
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: it's a complicated thing that has a lot to do
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: with all sorts of things. But you will see Pitcher's
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: armslaughts drop over time, and it's sort of the general
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: aging of an armslat.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe that is also what give him the backside of
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: a piggyback, and maybe we'll see that helps out. I'm
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: going to go back just to real quick, because i
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: need to have this, Jess. I want this marked because
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: I know my guy in the After and In and
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: After and Drive show host guy by the name of
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Dave Softy Maller, who just every time he hears the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: word piggyback, I think his head's going to explode. He
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: loses his mind. So when some when it gets brought
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: up again, I want to have this in my back pocket,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: I'll ask it. You know, serius, why is the piggyback
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: okay in your mind?
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: Because you're just reducing the amount of stress on these pictures,
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: and you're setting yourself up for September success, and you're
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: also keeping every single one of those pictures stretched out
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: because if you take Luis Castillo, you make him a
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: one ending picture, he loses any trade value, and he
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: also loses potential value to your own team going forward
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: because you have to stretch him back out to become
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: a starter.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I like that. That's perfect. You know serious,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I'm running my church down, Brewing. We appreciate him, jomvan
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: on every week. I'm gonna get back to the Marigers
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: of Secings. I know you guys had a conversation with
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: with Jerry to Potto. So before I get to that,
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: some of this this news broke out earlier today. You
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: and I have talked about this before, but Major League
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Baseball is on like a full blown media campaign that
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: does appear to say, this is what we're doing, this
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: is why, this is why we want to have the
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: MLBPA agree to a salary cap and a salary floor
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: as well. We're full blown here we go. We're going
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: after this thing. And I mean, we all know what
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: mlbpa's thoughts are on this. They've already said no, but
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: they come out about a couple hours ago MLB does
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: and said I liked how they phrased this. You know,
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: you the fans want this. You guys want this, and
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: we want this, so it's up to the players to
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: agree to this. We've talked about this before. Let me
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: go to the floor for a second. First, fifteen teams
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: are under what the floor would be for next year.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Is the floor an issue or is the cap is?
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, the capital gets all the headlines in your
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: mind at all. Is the salary floor an issue at
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: all when you have teams spending under one hundred million?
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think that's absolutely an issue that
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: I think is fair for fans to care about. I
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: think it is at the core of what we're talking about.
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: And you know, I think it's fair to want these things.
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: I think asking for a hard cap is is not.
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: You just have to think it's not the only way.
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: It's the only way to get a floor, you know.
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: In fact, the first proposal from the MLB players Union
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: was for a floor that worked within basically what baseball
• 58:21
  Speaker 7: has now. The luxury tax is a soft cap. But
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: what they wanted to say was, hey, we have a
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: soft cap, let's have a soft floor. Let's use the
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: luxury tax the exact same thing that we use at
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: the top end, Let's use at the bottom end and
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: that has a wonderful symmetry and it makes a lot
• 58:36
  Speaker 7: of sense. The NBA used to be kind of more
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: of a soft cap system until recently it became harder.
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: And when you do the softcap floor, you just say, hey,
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: if you don't spend one hundred and fifty million, or
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: you don't spend one hundred and twenty million, UO tax,
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: you know, just the same way as if UO tax,
• 58:53
  Speaker 7: if you go over you know, And so you know,
• 58:56
  Speaker 7: there are all sorts of different ways to structure this.
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: I think most people are in agreement that at the
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: bottom end, you want more investment in the team. You
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: want the pirates of the world to invest more, and
• 59:09
  Speaker 7: that is I think the questions is how right you know?
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: Today they come out and they say, you know, oh,
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: we've accepted mlbpa's free agency proposal, which is that guys
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: who are thirty years old, you know, can qualify for
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: free agency.
• 59:26
  Speaker 6: With five years you know.
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: They say that it affects a lot of people ends
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: up being relievers. You know, that's one that they're like
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: willing to give because to get to thirty years old
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: with less with five years less year of service, you're
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: usually a reliever or an oft injured starting pitcher. So
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: those aren't like high expensive. That's why that's why Baseball said,
• 59:46
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, you can have that. You know, they said
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: to get rid of qualifying offers. Qualifying offers affect you
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: know what, fifteen twenty players a year. So they're like,
• 59:55
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, we'll give you that. They said a historic
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: increase the minimum salary one one million donum one million
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 7: dollar minimum.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: Well it was.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: It's like seven to eighty right now, and it was
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: it's due to go up because just the inflation, right,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: So that's not that big a deal. And then the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 7: funny thing is they say, oh, we're gonna eliminate deferred
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: contract like players like those and teams like those. Deferred
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: contracts are a thing that the sort of the CPAs
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: figure out. You know, you send it to your accountants
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: and both sides. The agent sends it to the account
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 7: and the team sends it to the countant. They both come
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: back and say, well, this is worth about this much
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: in current years. And so it's not something that is
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: unilaterally something the players want or something the teams want.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: Deferred money is just it's just another way to make
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: a contract. So I don't know why that's in there.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: And then lastly they're like, okay, and now all all
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: all contracts are capped at five years, which is just
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: amazingly anti player, and I think just one of those
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: things that won't fly. You know, if they if they're
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: gonna cap contracts at five or six years, there would
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: need to be a major concession in here. I don't
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: see a major concession. So I don't actually think of
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: this as a very serious proposal today.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's one that gets some headlines that there's
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: no doubt about that. I would think just going back
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: even to the floor for a second, if you're a player,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: you probably like that though, right because all of a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: sudden you're you know, inherently you're going to see some
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: some of those lower set and obviously that would come
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: with salary cap or salary minimums and stuff like that.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: You would think that some guys are going to benefit
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: along the way with that floor. Fifteen teams are below
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: the one hundred and seventy one million being proposed right now.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: I mean half the league is below that, so there's
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: got to be a bonus for the players. To me,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: I don't care about the cap. I want the floor like,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: I you know, Cleveland spending seventy nine million, Miami eighty million,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: the White Sox somehow in first place at ninety one million.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: The White Sox also are the argument against the cap, right,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Like they're spending that in one million and they're sitting
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: there competing for a division title.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean, the correlation between payroll and wins
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: is actually not It's stronger in the other sport. Now
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 7: the spread is much bigger in baseball. But baseball has
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 7: a lot of chaos in it. So you have these
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: raised teams, these Brewers teams, these White Sox teams, you
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: have cheap teams that win so but I think we
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 7: do agree that, like it's much more fun to follow
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: the Rays if they are forced to, you know, buy
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 7: a couple of free agents, you know, and make their
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: team deeper that way.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: You know what one thing I.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: Do know from what little I follow the other sports
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: that have harder cap systems, and today with a big
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: day in the NBA, is that you do get weird
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: trades when you have a hard cap, where you know,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: it's just like slots like money, like pieces of money
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: being traded as opposed to like actual players. You'll like,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 7: for example, if if the Marlins were forced to spend
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 7: an those seventy million, like they might, they might just
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: trade for Rafidevers instead of like because you know, is
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: the next one Soto gon Of signed with the Marlins
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: just because they have the money, you know, you know,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: if they're offering the same money as the Dodgers or
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: somebody else, like, they still won't get those guys. So
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: the lower market teams that are forced to spend often
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: end up taking the like not so great contracts from
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: the bigger teams that have to get under the cap. Right,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 7: so it just becomes as redistribution of not great players.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: And in the NHL, it's almost like dead money. They'll
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: trade am I right.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah they there's well in the NHL,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: there's yeah, You're you're always looking at salaries. You're always
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: trying to keep on the cap. You want to get rid.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: You love having a guy that's got an expiring deal
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: at the trade deadline that you can get yeah, yeah,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: you love those guys. And then you know, and then
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: fans want you to sign all these guys for a
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: ton of money, and then you do, and they get
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: mad because you sign a guy for a ton of money.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of ann we went through.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: That's all fun and games. And the other sports that
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: have hard caps.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: No, no, No, the NHL does. The NHL does have
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: a floor, which I like, like they have a floor,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: and I think that and everyone in the NHL kind
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: of is is right close to or right around the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: cap anyway.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: And you know the floor in those sports, in the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: floor of those sports is very close to the cap,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: isn't it.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, it's not there's not much of a difference.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: And and like the NFL and the NFL, the NBA
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: I can't speak to as much. I've been out of
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: it for a while. We I don't know if you
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: know this. You know, we don't have a team here anymore.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: Spend twenty spent twenty years. Not that anybody's counting, but
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: like you know, the NBA's cap is just goofy, it's
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's here's the cap and then here's
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: the luxury tax one, here's the second level of the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: leuxtury tax et cetera. But yeah, yeah, it's real, it's good.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Hard it really happens. I don't think I don't think
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: it has either not when you have guys signing for
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: you know, fourteen million that can't play. But uh yeah,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: it's it's goofy. You might tell me that I'm nuts.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I gotta ask you before I let you go about
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: about Brian Wu. Maybe the splits and maybe the the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: what we're seeing isn't enough. He's pitched nine days, nine
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: games away from home, seven games at home, so obviously
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: the sixteen starts. Maybe this sample size is way too small.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: But what he does at home, and we saw it
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: again last night on the road, Brian was a different
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: pitcher home in a way. Is that just one of
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: those weird statistical anomalies. It happens, and there's not much
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: there that that we can decipher or is there really
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: something to it?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, there is one thing that, like you know,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: a court, if you if you could say he's an
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: elite pitcher and you put him up against elite pitchers,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 7: his twenty four point six twenty five percent strikeout rate
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: is not on the level of some of these twenty
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: eight twenty nine thirty percent you know aces like a
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: school boy or any of those guys. Right, So, even
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: though his strikeout rate is a little bit better, than average.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: You know, among his peers, he allows a few more
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: balls in play, and that's probably because of a sort
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: of a fastball heavy approach that he's got. So if
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: you allow more balls and play and you're in Seattle
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: or you're in you know, Cincinnati, those are are very
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 7: big deals. So that's that that could be part of
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: the picture. Then if you go to his career number,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 7: so you up the sample a little bit, you know,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: the difference is still there. He's got a two forty
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: nine home and a four to twenty away for his career,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: and that's two hundred and thirty innings home and two
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: hundred and sixty away, So there is there is a
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 7: little bit of something to that. If I were his
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: pitching coach, or if I were him and I was
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: thinking about it, I just think he would motivate me
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 7: to just become an even stronger pitcher overall, and maybe,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 7: you know, work on the change, which I know he's
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: always working on a change. And the last time I
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: talked to him, he's like, I'm talking to at least
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: Casteel all the time.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: Up the change up.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: But you know, consider a curve. Whatever it is, just
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: you know, the trend around baseball ad pitches and that
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 7: takes the pressure off of your great pitches. So even
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: if it's not the best pitch in the world, maybe
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: one more pitch would help them sort of even that up.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's you mentioned the strikeouts. His strikeout rate
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: home and away. It's significantly different for away games in
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: home and not in a good way. And then his
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: babbit's three twenty two on the road, two fourteen at home.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: So that that does kind of as you're saying, that
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: does make sense along those ways. I mean, I feel bad.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: Well, look at that, right, it's a twenty nine percent
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: strecout rate at home for his career and twenty one away.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: And we know that Seattle augments strikeouts a little bit.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Look at me too. By the way,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: I just I just talked about the the babbit stat
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: just like that for you batting average on balls in place.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: I'm listen. I'm telling you between Eno Sarrus on Thursdays

  Speaker 7: seventy percent across the league. And we talked about that

• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: is considered the top prospect in the twenty twenty seven
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: RENHL Draft. That's the name that sounds familiar. It should
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: probably the number one pick next year. Just finished playing
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: with the Everett Silver Tips this past season, led Everett
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: to a WHL title. As a sixteen year old, insane
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: numbers one hundred and two points in eighty five regular
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: season and postseason games combined. He had a little high
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: ankle spring in the Memorial Cup afterwards and was banged up.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: But he's an elite talent. We got to watch him
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: play here for a couple of years up in Everett.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: He is committed to play at the University of Mirchigan,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: the Wolverine, so Lanta DuPont off to Michigan. You're seeing
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: that more and more with some of the high end
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: players that are committing to NCAA programs for a year,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: maybe their draft year or the year after they're drafted.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Why little thing called anil they make money. You're gonna
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: hear stuff like all they like to play against older
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: players and stuff like that. Sure, I'll dance with you
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: part way there, but not all the way. They're going
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: there because they can make money. All right, there you go,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: that's said the news. Okay, so yesterday we had Bobby
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: McMahon on Cracking Forward who was re signed to a
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: contract extension on Sunday. Really, Jess, you weren't here yesterday.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: I kind of was.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: I got a little bit criticism from folks. I get it, understand.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: I was trying to I maybe came off as a
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: little smug know it all, what have you with our listeners.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: I was getting little upset after the last couple of
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: days with the whole audit video with Todd light Wiki.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: Yep, I was here for that.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: One of those things that had been said the last
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: couple days, people were people in tell the crack and win,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: And what I mean by winning is have a really
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: good regular season, show that they can do some things
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. They're just the criticism is going to come,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: and I understand that. One of the things I thought
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: was funny is I saw people actually criticizing the Bobby
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: McMahon signing in contract. Okay, like if they don't sign McMahon,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: it's a bad offseason. If they do sign McMahon, Oh,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: you spent too much money on Bobby McMahon. Again, you
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: don't know the cap like they do. And I'm not
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: just talking to Crack and I'm talking every NHL team.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: They understand their cap situation better than we did, me,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: you and everybody else. Bobby McMahon was they must get
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: in the offseason. They had to resign him to take
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: steps forward to continue to build this thing up. And
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: if he hit free agency in July first, that would
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: have been maybe a little more challenging. Some other teams
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: would have come calm, but they didn't let it get
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: that far. They signed it. We had a feeling he
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: was going to resign when we talked to Mapril twenty
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: second at the CACI after the season ended, I sat
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: down with Bobby McMahon. We talked about the year, what
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: he liked about Seattle. Then I found out I got
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: a little in that in full little information, uh, And
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: we talked about that with Bobby McMahon yesterday. A little
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: birdie told me that the Captain Jordan every Uh wrote
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: a little a little message to you on a stick.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: How much did that mean?
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah? That was cool.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 7: I grew up watching him playing playing for the Oilers.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: Did you tell him that too? Did you tell him that?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 22: His head wasn't quite fitting through the door that day,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 22: but he was able to sign a stick for me,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 22: and yeah, I wrote a little message about how he
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 22: wanted me back and to be a part of the team,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 22: which was means a toime. He's so cool to have
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 22: be playing with a guy that I grew up watching
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 22: and then have him trying to get me to come.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: Back was was pretty special.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: There's two things here. One Everly's old.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: Two.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah you let that hang out there.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Number two. Yeah, I don't know what the what the
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: message said. I just heard that that. You know, there's
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: guy signed sticks for each other and do stuff, you know,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: packing up at the end of the year. But I
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: guess there was a Everly signed the stick for for
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon and it says, you know, something along the
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: lines of, I hope you come back, we want you
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: on the team next year, what have you hope you resign?
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 23: Here?
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: And that's pretty cool, Like that's a and you know,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: you wonder how much what does it mean? How much
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: difference does it make? You heard it right there from
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon. I mean that's all. Every little bit counts,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Like every little bit counts. And I'll give the cracking
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: players a lot of credit, I think in the you
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: know McMahon and others. And we'll see how free agency goes,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: We'll see how the trade deadline or not the trade
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: till the Draft day goes tomorrow, if they maybe make
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: some moves on draft day, have those moves being made
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: as we speak around the NHL. But I think guys,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: I know Brandon mont Tour has been active in this role,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: Matty Beniers and others like going out and saying, hey,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: we want guys here, come on back, Bobby McMahon or
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: other players around the league. That makes a difference. They
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: the current players have to sell this organization, these facilities,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: this fan base and so on and so forth until
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: they get to that point where they're playing at an
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: elite level. It's a chicken and anything. We talked about
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: all the time. But I think they've done a good
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: job of that so far, and obviously everly helping out
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Cale Flurry and what was he sip?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: Twelve guys went golfing. I think they went to Gamble Sands.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: That was huge for Bobby to get him back here.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: So the full full court press recruiting and then capped
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: off by a signed stick by the captain saying please
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: come back to Seattle. Really cool story along the way.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break, come back a day early,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: but we we didn't want to miss Danny O'Neill this week.

• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: normal show. Tomorrow, Softy and Fan will being doing doing
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: noon to three, and then we've got NHL coverage. I'll

  Speaker 2: be a part of that, along with of course our anchor,
• 1:26:53

  Speaker 2: the NHL Draft first round of coming up tomorrow at

• 1:27:04
  Speaker 5: I'm good?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 24: Ian.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: Would you say that you ever have a normal show?
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: Nope, nope. I it's funny you ask It's funny you
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: asked that today of all days, here here at kJ
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: are really normal.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 6: No, no, not a radio never really normal.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: It's radio and it's a lot of things. It's funny
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: you asked today's timing couldn't be better. I'll let just
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: talk to you off here anyway. There's nothing normal about
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: this business. You were in it, you understand it. There's
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: nothing normal about this business.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: There's nothing normal about the world right now. You've got
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: people stealing trash cans in New York City losing their
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: jobs because of it. We only had a we only
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: had one shooting, only four stabbings in the in the aftermath.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: The World's Cup is going on. The Mariner's pets or
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 5: heads are falling off because nobody can stay healthy. It's
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 5: a mess and they.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Can't hit, they can't score, and they can't win at
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: least and WUCN on the road. We'll get to them
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: in a second. You wrote about it today. Let's start
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: in a fun note. I you kind of insinuated about
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: what happened here last week in Seattle with that US
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: men's team a week ago. Tomorrow the game against Australia.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if our city, if our sport, first
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: of all, take a step back before I get to that.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: I think one man's opinion. I believe that we have
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: very underrated passionate sports fans here in Seattle. I think
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: because we're in the Northwest, we're kind of off the
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: grid at times. People know that, Yes, Looming gets loud,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: and when the ob was playing especially, it was crazy,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: and Key Arena ninety six, Husky Stadium is loud, all
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: those things. But you know, I think when people think
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: about passionate sports fans, great sports cities, they normally just
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: kind of don't. They just default to the Northeast for
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: the most part. And yet what we saw last Friday,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: and we feel it every day on our text line
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: here at KJR and everything else. We know, and you
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: worked in this business, for our for our competitors, you
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: know there's passion in this town. What we saw last Friday,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: Danny was a whole different beast man. That was something else.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: And yes it was an event and probably a one
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: time only event lest they come back here for the
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: Round of sixteen. But that was something else. When Fox's
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: crew can't even be heard in the pregame show, that's
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: pretty special.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 5: It was extremely cool and watching from a distance, there
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 5: was a combination of Pride and then not FOMO but
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 5: actual missing out where Look it looked and sounded extremely cool,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 5: and you mentioned Seattle. I do think Seattle gets underrated
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 5: for two reasons. Not only does it have a really
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 5: well established history of Super Bowl winning NFL team, an
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 5: NBA team that was top shelf when it was playing,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: and hopefully we'll be coming back, a baseball team that
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 5: has at a couple of different times put iconic players
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 5: in the league. But you have college foot ball and
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 5: you have this huge soccer crowd. In terms of the
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: diversity of sports enthusiasms, don't forget the Storm either. The
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 5: Storm have been one of the more historically successful franchises.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 5: Just the breadth of story, there's there's a there's a
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 5: wide net of sports of passionate sports fans in Seattle.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was what we saw last week. Was cool.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: I the guys actually brought it up. Jackson and Andrews
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: are are who are anchoring our great soccer coverage across
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: it's a hundred plus stations across the iHeart network. They
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: were saying it might be different next week if or
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: in two weeks. I guess time it was it would
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: be a week from a week from Monday. If they do,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: If the US does come back here, it's then to
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: be a round of a round of sixteen game. Uh,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: you're getting, you know, a chance to get to the quarterfinals.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: The pressure, the stress would be a little different. Maybe
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't be as much of a celebration. And yet
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: I kind of think to myself, when we've had big
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: games here, NFC championship games, NBA finals and nineties, it
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: always still is a celebration. You kind of about that
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: today sports are the last areas of common ground in
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: this country. Sports are something to celebrate, even if they're
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: stress involved.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 5: I think that because there's stress involved, and I even
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 5: becomes more of a bombing experience sort of. There's a
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 5: shared investment that everybody has, and I know it gets
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 5: we talk about we don't even have facts that we
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 5: agree upon anymore. And I don't think that's entirely true,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 5: because I know after writing and talking about sports for
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 5: so long, that people very rarely agree on the same facts.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 5: That's why we argue so much about who's to blame,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 5: who's overrated, who's underrated. That the thing is we have
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: shared reference points, and sports has increasingly become one of
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 5: the last places that we all were all watching the
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 5: same stuff. And this isn't just a political conversation. You
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: think about TV, and when I was growing up, you
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 5: knew what the highest rated programs werest years and it
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: was the cause we show Little Beverly Hills nine O
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: two one oh. Was a little cutting edge when I
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 5: was a teen ager. But now everybody that the audiences
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 5: are generally smaller for most of the programs which are
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 5: spread across not even network TV, but these streaming services.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: People don't go to the movies anymore. The albums. Nobody
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 5: buy the albums, really, they just stream stuff. We've lost
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 5: a lot of the shared cultural reference points, and sports
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: has become bigger, and the NFL is the biggest out
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: of that group, but it's not the only one. And
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: I do think that it's it is an important way
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 5: that we relate to each other as communities. It's one
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 5: of the few times that everybody feels good coming together
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 5: is to celebrate sports.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, oftentimes when you do get that common
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: ground with sports in a very you know you mentioned
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: to start. You know, even our country, right, it's very divided.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: We all know that country is divided. The world's divided.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: But just if we just say in our country, our city,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: our city's divided, you know, and but sports can like
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: you sit there if you're at the USA match, or
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: you're part of the group that's at Sodo, Pioneer Square,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: Peer fifty sixty two, fifty eight, whatever, all the different piers,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: the bro barge they got going on, and if you
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: know this, we're got a bro barge. It's basically they
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: modeled the bro barge out of the after the pen
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: at T Mobile, so you can brow out there, yeah,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: the whole nine yards. So you know, if you're doing that,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: you're rooting on the United States of America. Or if
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: you were part of you know, watching games with a
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: group of friends or what have you during the end
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks run last year. Oftentimes, those are the
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: few settings I think we get in today's world, Danny,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: where people don't go, yeah, but what do you think
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: about Trump? Are you a lefty? Are you a righty?
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: Are you a liberal? Are you on the like? Where
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: are you on the political We don't talk about that.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: We talk about you know, why did Sam Donald throw
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: that ball? Or God, can the US make a run
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: in the world cup. It's an incredible experience that we,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: I think honestly, that we need in today's world.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do think that having those abilities to relate
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 5: to people and to not go through a check markt
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: here are the reasons why I don't like you, and
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: be able to hang out and and to share an
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 5: enthusiasm over something I think there. I think it's an
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 5: important part of being human man and living in communities.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 5: I felt this way when I stopped being a newspaper
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 5: reporter full time and started working on the radio. One
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 5: of the things that I really enjoyed was being able
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 5: to relax into being a fan more. And I've never
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 5: completely lost fandom. I've always been an idiot husky fan
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 5: and that's that goes back to being in college. But
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: but really being able to kind of celebrate that part
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 5: of it because as a newspaper reporter, and I think
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 5: this is appropriate, like you're supposed to be more objective
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 5: and there's there's there's an element of raw rod it's
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 5: just not supposed to be in there, and that changes
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 5: a little bit on the radio, and I found that
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: that was one of the things that I really enjoyed
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 5: about it, is that it is us and our name.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 5: We do share enthusiasms for the same teams and the
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 5: same sports, and that's a good thing because it is
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 5: something that brings us together, and sports are serious.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: People get hired, people get fired.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 5: Politics does inevitably work its way into there, but for
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 5: the most part, it is a relatively like harmless, guilt
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 5: free enthusiasm we can share.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: Daniel O'Neil joining us. You know, it's you talked about
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: the becoming a fan as a media member. I gotta
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: tell you this, this is funny and you probably heard
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: this or no this, but after that, I think it
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: was the first game here. It would have been Egypt Belgium,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: I guess in at Lumenfield Stale soccer stadium whatever we're
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: calling it sale soccer field these days. Screw you, FIFA.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: But Greg Bell comes back and he was there covering
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: for the News Tribune and he's like, I didn't realize this,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: but boy, like the media for those the foreign teams,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: the you know, out of our country, they're like literally
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: cheering for their team in the press box, and I
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: just thought, God, could you imagine, like the horror if
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: that happened in an NFL press box or a Major
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: League Baseball press box or an NHL press spot. I mean,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: it would just be the end of the world. But
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: they're they're literally cheering for their home country as they're
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: covering a game.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 25: The one of the funniest things that's happened is that
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 25: the Paraguay team, I think, in their second match, so
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 25: they played the US in the first one and the
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 25: Paraguay in their second match, one of their players got
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 25: red carded.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because he put his hand over his mouth, which
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 5: you can't do. And then have you read what the
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 5: Paraguay one of the broadcasters said.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: His credentials revoked, didn't he I don't know what he said,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: but I know we got his credentials revoked.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 5: He got his credentials revoked because he went on. He
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 5: called Ivan Barton, the match referee. He used a very
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: bad word that starts the letter F, which I won't say,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: called him a forgetful thieves killing football. They called them
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: sons of female dogs more than twenty times.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: Oh holy, oh my god.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a rent, although it probably wouldn't be Rabel to
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 5: be the guy that sits next to him in the
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 5: boots going on a rent. And then the NFL comes
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 5: in the meat shield. Roger Goodell, the redheaded Hammer, comes
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 5: in and says, yeah, we're gonna have to take this fodential.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: Who does sit next to Rabel? I used to know
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: a guy that I thought did, but I don't know
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: what he's doing these days. We're ninety two. Back in
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: the day. It is Daddy O Neil joining us right now. Yeah,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: I just I found that funny. The part about being
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: is the media guys being not being fans. You're still human.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: I listen, I'm not buying it. And here's why. And
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: and you and I shared a press box for many
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: years with the Seahawks, uh, you know, in a couple
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: different roles, but for me, for the most part with
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: Fox and you know, there's no cheering in the press box.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: I wasn't cheering, but you know, a I grew up
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: a Seahawks fan. But be here's the thing, this is
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: the human element. Your job's a hell of a lot
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: easier if they win, like it just is I could.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: And if I'm being honest, I'm reading Adam Jude or
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: Ryan Davish with the Mariners. They're not they may not
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: be fans, but I can tell who they want to win.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: And whose side they're on. And you can say I
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: don't root for a team. I don't you define rooting
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: for him? The human part of it comes into play.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: They win jobs easier, they lose, not as fun. You
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: and I both know that. How much fun was it
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: for us in like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen to go
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: in that Seahawk locker room when things are starting to
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: fall apart? Not fun, Danny, right? Not fun?
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: Like not Michael Bent.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 5: Chasing various members of the media out depending on.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 25: What was asked of him.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, what do you think about not having a sack?
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: You guys let Aaron Rodgers froll for three point fifty
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay and no one touched them all day?
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that? Mike?
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 6: Go back to it is.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: And here's the other thing is that as a you really,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 5: as a journalist, you want people to read what you write. Yeah,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 5: like that is, and you want them to listen to
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 5: what you have to say. And and the enthusiasm over
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 5: the teams is kind of what keeps everything going. So
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 5: it may not be rooting in the conventional sense, but
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 5: there's there's a there's a desire to see interesting and
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 5: compelling things happen, why we're drawn to sports even at
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 5: its most at his most level, and it is it
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 5: is more exciting, certainly when keeps doing. I dramatically prefer
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 5: that to the after a particularly debilitating loss, when people
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: demand that either player X or coach Y be held
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 5: accountable whatever the hell that means, which means they just
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 5: want somebody to yell at this person, explain to me
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: why you weren't able to win this game?
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 6: Give me my fight the blood? Oh god?
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: Who was was Condona? Was he the Husky beat writer
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: in that fun season of eight?
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: Jess was and Bob.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: Condota had the it's my favorite. It's my favorite exchange
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: between a coach and reporter ever, and I think I
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: I can't remember which game it was, but they had
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 5: given up.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 6: I believe it was a school record number of rushing yards.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: And so Bob asked him.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: He is like, hey, this yardage total was yielded in
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 5: the game.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: This is Tyrone.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 5: To Tyrone, And Tyrone's answer was, well, what do you
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 5: want me to do about it? Bob jump up and down.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 6: Bob just says, I don't care what you do.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: Oh god.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 7: I was sitting there saying I.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 6: Want you to do something to Tyrone.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 5: I would like you to do something about that fact.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: Oh god, that is so I mean, I can't even
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: fathom how miserable that would have been, covering a him,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: Tyrone that is, and just be like ohen, oh my god,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: that would have been awful, Like that would have just
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: been absolutely awful, especially because it is Tyrone and just
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: the just the smug attitude of him, but the whole time, right, like,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: come on, buddy, no way.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: I've seen this app that the UDB football program put out,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: the Dog Dynasty. No, it's absolutely gloriously and although you
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 5: probably would spend zero point three seconds before closing it,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: but you can. It's an app called Dog Dynasty, and
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 5: you use it and you can pick. It's kind of
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 5: a scrolling you pick a team of I think it's
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 5: seven or eight players from different.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: Oh I've seen posts on that. Okay, yeah, I've seen
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: posts on that.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 6: Right, it's great.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 5: I've probably played I don't know thirty five thirty six
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 5: hundred times. Absurd ZTF, for anyone is in the COVID
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 5: shortened Sason when he had seven sacks in five games.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 5: ZTF is basically the bo Jackson Tech Mobile character in
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: it where he's just if you get a chance to
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 5: pick ZTF twenty twenty, you have to do what you
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 5: might win the Hysmand.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 6: But my favorite part of the game, and.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 5: I will say this that it's one of the things
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 5: that I love most the Athletic Department has done in
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 5: the past fifteen to twenty years, is that if Tyrone
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 5: Willingham is your team's coach, it is really hard for
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 5: that team to have a winning record. You could have
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 5: the best players, but Tyrone Willingham is absolute poison to
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 5: the team's success compared to Don James. If you get
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: Don James, it's really hard for that team not to
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 5: win at least ten games. So the fact that the
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: only thing that would be better is if the app
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 5: completely crashed the moment that you picked Tyrone. So I
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 5: just want to give a shout out to the U
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 5: of Athletic Department. A. The game is awesome, but be
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 5: the poison that is Tyrone Willingham, it is phenomenal.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: So help me out here. So if you would, if
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: you would, for example, have a roster that would be
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: some sort of combo of ninety one and what was
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: it twenty twenty when what was Kalyn's your twenty twenty three, right,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty twenty three.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so two thousand and there you got two Wiasa Sopo,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: Napoleon Kaufmans right twenty twenty ztf because he's a cheat
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 5: code and you're going to go six and six.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. You put all
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: those you combine those teams, you got Empman, and hell,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: maybe you throw Warren Moon into your quarterback. I would
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: be I'd be partial to the great Joe Steele from
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: Blanchett High School myself. But anyway as a running back.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: But you do that, and it's Tyrone, You're you're gonna
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: be maybe maybe maybe not even a sun Boll team.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: You might be, uh, you might be headed to the
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: Potato Bowl or something.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Cheese It Bowl, the other ones, the Craft
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 5: Fight Hunger Bowl.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, perfect, God, Tyrone, Oh my goodness, what a treat
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: he was. We've all had those, We've had we we
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: had Ernie kN I don't know if you know remember
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: Ernie Can at all. He used to coach basketball for
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: the Ducks of Oregon. He was he was a terrific
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: Hire by Bill Moose at Wazoo. Uh, sat there in
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: his house, drank wine, hung out, didn't recruit up soul.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: That was fun. Yeah, we all have guys like that.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: That's we all have our crosses.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 5: So I think what bothered me most about Tyrone, and
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 5: this would probably apply to Ernie Kent as well, that
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 5: you should at least have the since he feel bad.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you grind a program into dust.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 7: Yes, like you should at least at least do us.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 5: The common courtesy of appearing that it pained you, and
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 5: instead you get this resolute I will show no emotional
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: reactions to what I have done here.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 6: It's just infurio.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: It was worse. I'll tell you right now. Ernie was
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: worse than Tyrone for this reason. He after, well, well,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: he didn't go he didn't go in thirty. He didn't
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: go thirty. I'll give you that. He didn't go own thirty.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: But he took ken Bone's mediocre team and took it
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: into the side of the mountain, which was hard to
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: do because they were already on the death But then
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: after Bill Moose kept rolling over his contract every year
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: and giving his buddy from Oregon a you know, contract
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: after contract and we're paying him for We're paying for
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: another three or four years for his extension, because who
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't get an extension when you go I don't know,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: five and twenty five or whatever the hell was No.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: On top of that, then the last few years of
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: the PAC twelve network, we got to watch him on
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: the PAC twelve network collected check from our conference when
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: he's collecting money from us.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's all.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: Forgot about his dancing escapades at Etsy Bravo after games
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 4: that he lost.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: He just was a treat. I just I'm done with
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: them anyway. That's yeah. Does Bill Saill want to come
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: on and sell his book with us? We'll have to
• 1:45:17

• 1:46:12

• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: able to take a break check your text next.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your home for the
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: Huskies Cracking and the twelfth Man, brought to you by
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: Seattle's Closest Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 23: Hello show.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 26: That was an amazing goal by Ecuador against Germany. Very
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 26: cool but why can't we talk about Edgar? I know
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 26: he's a sacred figure, but why why why can't we
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 26: talk about Edgar? He's like the czar of hitting, which
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 26: we're not czarring, or we're not hitting, we're not doing
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 26: any of that. Why is he such a like he
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 26: needs to retire and just be ager? I miss just
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 26: rooting for him and not being anger.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: Let me let me just throw this one little note
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: out there. Get I get what you're saying, and I'm
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: not saying you're wrong. I would add another name. Kevin
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: Sitzer is actually the true hitting coach. Edgar oversees his
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: title something different like the organization's hitting strategists or something
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: like he's kind of more bigger picture director of hitting.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: Senior director of hitting strategy is Edgar Martinez. His title
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: hitting coach is Kevin Seitzer. But I'll dance with you. Yeah,
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it's like Edgar has been hired like
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: two or three times over and over again over the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: years right to be the hitting coach.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 5: And it's just but.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're eleven games with three or less runs,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: so I see you're saying, you know, and a picture
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: like Bryce Miller can have a day in which he throws,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: has eleven strikeouts and no walks, and you know, gives
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: up two home runs and loses the game. That does
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: seem to be an issue more with the offense than
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: the pitching. Continue.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 23: Hey, Dan Wilson, here a tough game today.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 24: I coached hard the guy spot, and I'm gonna keep
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 24: doing that to be the worst damp manager we've ever seen.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 24: I'm going to continue to fight hard and play Rob
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 24: Reth Schnyder in big spots, and I'm gonna.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: Get him in the Hall of Fame. I'm going to
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: continue to fight.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 24: Hard and play pitchers in spots and we're only down
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 24: by one run that wouldn't make the rent Little League.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 24: Like O Hoppy today, I'm going to continue to fight
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 24: and play hard and blow as many games as I
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 24: can as a manager and look more nervous than a
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 24: third grader that didn't clean his own face.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: He sounded a lot like him.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: I want you to play the first ten seconds again?
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 6: Can you do that?
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 23: Hey, Dan Wilson, here a tough game today.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: That's all right there, that's right right there now. First
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: of all, I appreciate I appreciate when the coach comes
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: out in a timely manner after every game, win or lose.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: But he always after every loss, it's always a tough
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: game today. You you're there, you cover a lot of
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: those games. Does he not always say that? Yes, cis
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: all right? Uh yeah, tough game today, tough game today.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah we got you know, I would say, like all
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 3: coaches and managers have been there, what's like a crutch? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: And I don't know, I don't know if that's a crutch,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 3: but just an opening mannerism. I agree, you can kick
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 3: them out if you listen enough.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: Rob rap Schneider only had one at bat today in
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: his in Dan's defense, he's over one. Continue, Hey, depressed.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 23: Parents lost again playing people like Pager, Buston, Honor Joe
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 23: Study in thought the time, I don't know, I thought
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 23: I was watching a little league so local base sports.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 23: I'm gonna go ride a line bike. Look for Sue
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 23: and Vegas. Maybe they'll get back together. Maybe we'll find
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 23: a fishing bike, a autograph of Prestine Road.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: We jump on the line bike. Wee oh yeah yeah, yeah,
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: all right, you have one more.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah we can end on this note.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: Kay and Seattle sports guy with a quick update on
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 5: your Seattle sports in the spirit of the World Cup.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: The Seattle Mariners put.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 23: Up one run today and the Metalli in the last
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 23: three games.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 27: That's five runs for the Mariners, five goals for the
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 27: men's national team. Who's gonna win that one big moment
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 27: in the game is Dan Wilson's favorite love child, Rob
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 27: Reschneider or Colton long to some came in with a
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 27: big moment and did nothing.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 23: With the bases loaded. That's to Poto's left handed master.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 23: Thanks Jerry.
• 1:50:54

• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: four or five one. Boy, there's a lot of I
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: The frustration for the Mariners right now is crazy A
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: I should manage the ms. It's the four two.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 3: Five, okay, I mean, are we that far away from
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: that maybe not.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh no, because you know what, the
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: Mariners are guaranteed human. Oh my god, Ecuador is scored. Wow,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: okay over Germany. They lead two to one over Germany
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: with thirteen minutes left. Wow. Oh my gosh, that is awesome.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, the elation is unreal. I'm sorry, I'm distracted.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: That is crazy. Good distraction, though, Go get him, Ecuador.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what this means this game means.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. I think it means something because
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: they're showing the other score in the group on the
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: on the bottom half of the screen. Where's Jackson at
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: hang out? Read a text? Do you have a text up?
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 23: Yeah?
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 27: I do?
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: Sports are great, and they do need to get the
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 3: political stuff out.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 4: I can't believe Seattle making the World Cup a venue
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 4: to have this game.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 6: What a joke.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: Some people don't like the World Cup being here in Seattle.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 3: But I don't really think that.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 4: There has been a lot of politics and that just
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 4: really good soccer, which I've been enjoying so much. Hey,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 4: Ian from the four two five, here's a crazy idea
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 4: for your golf tournament. Why not auction off spots to
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 4: play the tournament with KJR hosts and producers.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 3: I bet this is a crazy idea for your golf tournament.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, yes, auctioning off spots to play in the tournament
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: with KJR hosts, some producers.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 3: I bet Softie would be the highest.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's out of town and oh yeah, and
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 2: the rest of the cush is no. Okay. By the way,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: soccer guy Jackson tells me, if Ecuador does hold on
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 2: a win, they will move on. They will move on
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: out of the group stage, which should be huge. And
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 2: the win over Germany is a massive upset. If that happens,
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: that'd be huge. And the just watching this right now,
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: the emotion in the stands, it's the best thing about
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: the World Cup, like just the raw motion, whether it's
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: positive or negative. You know, whether it's elation or it's

  Speaker 2: they're pressing. They may need together, go Jackson, may need
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: to give me more information. He'll be on FIFA Feltz
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: or what do they call him, Wax. It will be
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 2: on later on with Softy, I'm sure, but I think
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: this is they're really pressing in Germany right now. And Germany,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: you know what you warn these goofy ass uniforms. They
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: have their uniforms look like Sounders. Oh really, they're like
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: the teal and the dark blue, like when did that
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: become Germany? That's not like where's the red? The kind
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: of the black and the kind of the burn orange?
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 2: Like where's that?
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 6: At?
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: A strong as the journey? You know what you should
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: lose when you should get punished for trying. See, here's
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: what happens. You try to become the organ ducts. Oh,
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: there you go, the uniforms you should lose, That's what
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: that should happen. I mean, are you know the worst
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: defender of all time was UCLA? Oh really, well I
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 2: just you see you see always got the classic uniforms. Yeah,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 2: like why are you doing that? But now like Germany
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: thinks that they're Organs, so they're changing their uniforms and
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 2: looking like they look like the Sounders, and frankly they
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: Sounders probably beat them right now? All right? Are we good?
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: We're good?
• 1:54:28

  Speaker 17: It's been thirteen June twelfth, twelfth, that's right, they and
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 17: I don't think they had to run.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: I did a quick scan if you will, Did you
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: do a spreadsheet?
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 24: No?
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 23: I just.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 2: I have not done.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 17: I swear to God, I have not created a spreadsheet
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 17: in my life. I've used Excel, neither of I needed
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 17: help from my wife. Okay, okay, the odds of me.

  Speaker 17: doing you know, spreadsheets stuff.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 6: My god.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, anyway, what are we talking about?
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 17: Yeah, So I don't think the Mariners had to run
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 17: like that all year last season where they went how
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 17: many games is it? Eleven games? Eleven games with three
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 17: or last and they have not scored four runs or
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 17: more in any of those games. They're averaging two point
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 17: one eight runs per game I think they have and
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 17: they're four and seven.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: You know what run? You know why they didn't because
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 2: they had a guy hitting sixty one bombs last That's true.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: That kind of trumpet, like if you did have that
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: slump somewhere along the way, he'd hit a three run
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 2: jack and you'd be fine. Right, that'd be what happens
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: at sixty one or sixty by the way, the sixty
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: thought it was sixty six, he said, sixty one. Him
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: and Marriss, are we counting? Playoff bobs?
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, him and Marriss, that's fine. You want to count?
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: Actually you know why? Because in the in the are
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: you one of these very bonds deniers? By the way,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 2: I don't care about that? Okay, good listen, So you
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: know me a long time. Do you think I really
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 2: care about that? I don't know, man, I do people
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: have weird thoughts in there?
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 2: Are you sure?
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 17: I got a lot of weird thoughts on my head.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 17: I should say, I can't tell you what are you
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 17: really sure? Maybe when this radio thing is over, I'll
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 17: started podcast.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: What do you think that's gonna happen? Weird thoughts in
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: my head? Weird thought?
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 17: Oh you know what a softy podcast? Yeah, weird thoughts
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 17: with Dave Bough's right, that's right, God, here's what's happening
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 17: in my brain. If you looked into my brain at
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 17: a certain time of day. How long would that's podcast be?
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 17: Seven seconds? If it lasted for eight I'd call it doctor.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 17: This thing's not working, man. I think you know, like
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 17: if you looked inside my head on the golf course,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 17: it'd be like a monkey banging symbols together.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you said symbols, which you're going to say
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: something else had you had to finish. That's a great
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: example of that. You have to finish your sentence. That's right.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 2: Context contacts exactly.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 17: So Anyway, Yeah, I don't know if the M's have
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 17: had a run like that for the last couple of years.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 17: I'd be curious to know. Maybe somebody wants to do
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 17: the research on that. Can we get to Alex meyer
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 17: Wiener over at the Mariners on a plane right now
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 17: heading to Cleveland Cleveland? Well, if he's on the road trip,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 17: which I assume he is, he would be able to
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 17: look that up. Do you think they would tweet out
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 17: something like that from the Mariner pr account. We have
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 17: not scored more than three runs in eleven games. Our
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 17: first run like.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: That since blah blah blah, since since Bob Stinson was
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: the catcher.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 17: Oh wow, since Dave all these days, back in the
• 1:59:01
