Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: I'll see up.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Spence got a fine space for that left foot into
- 0:09Speaker 2: the Madalenzo for Nanda's Argentina. Now I'm fined away and
- 0:16Speaker 2: I've tied the game. Yeah.
- 0:22Speaker 1: That seems to be the story of the tournament, all right.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Argentina always finds a way.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Gross, Yeah, they're annoying.
- 0:33Speaker 4: I was good, Yeah, actually I do.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Do you notice every they just kept surrounding the ref
- 0:38Speaker 3: anytime they thought that something.
- 0:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, okay, just let it.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Go man, Oh yeah, constantly. Here's what here's what I
- 0:45Speaker 1: really did. Do you like though about Argentina. Did you
- 0:48Speaker 1: notice that every time the goalkeeper for England had the
- 0:52Speaker 1: ball there was somebody from Argentina like in his face? Yes,
- 0:56Speaker 1: because I've watched soccer all like a lot, and I'm like,
- 0:59Speaker 1: why don't you harassed the goalkeeper? Why do you just
- 1:02Speaker 1: let him kick it free? And every single time, well
- 1:05Speaker 1: maybe not every single time, it felt like every single
- 1:08Speaker 1: time they liked had somebody just they were just they
- 1:11Speaker 1: were going to harass you wherever. They were't gonna give
- 1:13Speaker 1: you anything for free. Yeah, you're gonna have to earn
- 1:17Speaker 1: it all day long. Also, we got a little taste
- 1:20Speaker 1: of just how great I mean Messi's not just a score.
- 1:22Speaker 1: That guy is magical. Those were some unbelievable passes he
- 1:27Speaker 1: was throwing, throwing, kicking in the match yesterday. All right,
- 1:31Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour, Good to have you with us. It
- 1:33Speaker 1: is Chuck Powllin, Ashley, Ryan Brad Evans. Gonna join us
- 1:36Speaker 1: here in about a minute and a half, but let
- 1:38Speaker 1: me first get to your headlines, brought to you by
- 1:40Speaker 1: Frostbrewed Corps, Light Choose Chill. Argentina comes from behind again
- 1:45Speaker 1: and wins over England two to one, and they have
- 1:48Speaker 1: set up a World Cup final Sunday at noon right
- 1:51Speaker 1: here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM between
- 1:54Speaker 1: themselves and Spain England. Poor England comes up a little
- 1:59Speaker 1: bit short again and Posh just some heartbroke for Posh.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I just really wanted them to hear them sing Hey
- 2:04Speaker 3: Jude again, Wonderwall again.
- 2:06Speaker 1: That would have been nice, Yeah, it would have been nice. Sounders,
- 2:09Speaker 1: by the way, MLS action resumes tonight. Sounders are back
- 2:12Speaker 1: in action tonight.
- 2:13Speaker 4: They waste no time, that's right.
- 2:15Speaker 1: So seven thirty against the Timbers at lumen Field, so
- 2:19Speaker 1: it's back to be in Lumenfield, So the Sounders resume
- 2:22Speaker 1: the rest of their season. They are seven three and three.
- 2:25Speaker 1: In case you were wondering, they have twenty four matches
- 2:27Speaker 1: to play in the regular season. Cracking schedule is going
- 2:31Speaker 1: to be released today at ten o'clock. We'll cover that
- 2:33Speaker 1: for you right here at Kate Jar. We'll actually have
- 2:36Speaker 1: Brandon montur on a little bit later at nine point
- 2:38Speaker 1: thirty to discuss some of the highlights to the schedule.
- 2:41Speaker 1: We'll go over to ourselves as well at some point
- 2:44Speaker 1: during this hour here on Chuck and Buck Sky over
- 2:48Speaker 1: the Storm last night, ninety five to ninety. The Storm
- 2:51Speaker 1: are now six and twenty on the year. Meanwhile, in
- 2:53Speaker 1: the NBA, we're still on Lebron Watch, and I have
- 2:56Speaker 1: a feeling, even though there's really nothing there supporting it
- 3:00Speaker 1: right now, that maybe Lebron will give his decision today
- 3:04Speaker 1: since he has the entire sports world to himself here
- 3:07Speaker 1: on this Thursday, and he seems to like attention. Just
- 3:12Speaker 1: an assessment I've made nine days from training camp. We
- 3:16Speaker 1: will continue our Huskies one series today at nine o'clock
- 3:19Speaker 1: with Christian Capble. We'll talk about defensive backs today for
- 3:22Speaker 1: Jedfish's squad and the Mariners will resume their season Friday
- 3:27Speaker 1: at home against the Giants, and that will be a
- 3:31Speaker 1: seven o'clock start. We still don't know the pitching rotation
- 3:34Speaker 1: to start the second half. We will speculate about it
- 3:37Speaker 1: later this hour, but right now we are joined by
- 3:40Speaker 1: a guy. I don't know where we would have been
- 3:42Speaker 1: in this World Cup without this guy. Former sounder and
- 3:46Speaker 1: just excellent analysts that we have been using the crap
- 3:49Speaker 1: out of during our coverage here at kJ R. Brad
- 3:52Speaker 1: Evans is with us again this morning on Chuck and Buck.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Hi Brad, Good morning everybody.
- 3:57Speaker 1: How are we doing. I'm all right. Are you a
- 3:59Speaker 1: little sad that they're is only one big match remaining?
- 4:02Speaker 1: I mean, as exciting as it might be on Sunday,
- 4:06Speaker 1: is there a little part of you it's like, oh man,
- 4:08Speaker 1: it's almost over? Yeah it is.
- 4:12Speaker 2: This World Cup has been crazy, but it does feel
- 4:15Speaker 2: really long, and I was working for a massive part
- 4:20Speaker 2: of this tournament, and so I'm kind of looking forward
- 4:22Speaker 2: to the break and not having any more games on
- 4:25Speaker 2: the schedule. It's a little bit of both a little
- 4:27Speaker 2: bit a little bit sad, but also excited. Most importantly
- 4:32Speaker 2: for this weekend.
- 4:33Speaker 1: All right, So maybe you overheard it, maybe not. But
- 4:37Speaker 1: I'll start with this, since Ashley and I were just
- 4:39Speaker 1: talking about it, a couple of observations from the Argentina
- 4:43Speaker 1: victory yesterday. Number One, it feels to me like Argentina
- 4:47Speaker 1: presses the goalkeeper more than any other team that I've
- 4:51Speaker 1: watched play in this tournament. I mean, they don't give
- 4:54Speaker 1: you anything for free, even a goalkeeper trying to kick
- 4:57Speaker 1: the ball to the other end of the feat. They
- 5:01Speaker 1: always have somebody in your face. Am I seeing that correctly?
- 5:05Speaker 1: Or have I missed it in other teams?
- 5:08Speaker 2: No?
- 5:09Speaker 1: I think you're right.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I think Argentina's game plan is when the ball goes
- 5:14Speaker 2: back to the goalkeeper, they will press for the next
- 5:17Speaker 2: five or six seconds just to see if the goalkeeper
- 5:20Speaker 2: will make an air and then if the ball goes long,
- 5:23Speaker 2: then they all kind of get back. They reset, they
- 5:26Speaker 2: maintain possession of the ball, they break, and then maybe
- 5:29Speaker 2: there's another backpass and they go and press. So yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 2: they're not a possession based team, really is. When you
- 5:35Speaker 2: think of South American teams, you think of possession, the
- 5:37Speaker 2: ability to keep the ball, and things have changed in
- 5:40Speaker 2: the last.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Basically ever since they figured out.
- 5:43Speaker 2: All they had to do was get the ball to
- 5:45Speaker 2: Messi in the last World Cup and they're going to win,
- 5:48Speaker 2: so in my opinion, so maintaining possession of the ball
- 5:52Speaker 2: isn't really what they do. They're happy to be those
- 5:55Speaker 2: dog in those dog fights. They're happy to fight for
- 5:58Speaker 2: the ball. They're going to press you in air. Is
- 6:00Speaker 2: that maybe another team wouldn't normally press and just let
- 6:02Speaker 2: you play, But England kind of did that to themselves yesterday.
- 6:06Speaker 2: England had a perfect game plan in the first half.
- 6:09Speaker 2: They high pressed, they put Argentina under pressure. You had
- 6:14Speaker 2: Jet Spence as a left back for England. He was
- 6:16Speaker 2: high up the pitch which made it really difficult for
- 6:21Speaker 2: Argentina to get out of their own third. And then
- 6:23Speaker 2: all of a sudden you go up one nothing and
- 6:26Speaker 2: you completely change your tactics and you bring on three
- 6:30Speaker 2: defenders after that and you play with five in the
- 6:32Speaker 2: back instead of sticking with your original formation. Well, all
- 6:35Speaker 2: that does is it allows a full court press basically
- 6:38Speaker 2: from Argentina for the next forty minutes. And in a
- 6:40Speaker 2: World Cup with a team like Messi, you cannot do that.
- 6:44Speaker 2: You can't just sit back and defend. It doesn't work out.
- 6:47Speaker 2: It's the prevent defense where it seems like it never
- 6:50Speaker 2: works out for the team that is protecting the lead,
- 6:54Speaker 2: and certainly didn't in yesterday's game. And Argentina does what
- 6:58Speaker 2: Argentina does and what they've done the entire tournament is
- 7:01Speaker 2: go down or be tied late in the game, and
- 7:03Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, bang bang, and it's Argentina
- 7:07Speaker 2: off to the finals once again.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I you know what, as you're describing it, I'm like, yeah,
- 7:11Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. They let Argentina when they're up
- 7:15Speaker 1: one to oh, they let Argentina dictate the pace, dictate
- 7:19Speaker 1: the game. Argentina was getting a lot of good looks
- 7:22Speaker 1: barely missing and it just won after another and it
- 7:25Speaker 1: eventually caught up to them. So if it was so obvious,
- 7:29Speaker 1: I mean, how much criticism should the head coach be
- 7:32Speaker 1: facing for that strategy.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Well, what's hard is that the game against Mexico, they
- 7:40Speaker 2: go down to Asteca, they go down a man, they
- 7:44Speaker 2: bring on a couple defenders, and somehow Jude Bellingham has
- 7:49Speaker 2: one of the games of his life and gets them
- 7:51Speaker 2: out of there with a victory. But they did they
- 7:53Speaker 2: sat back in that game because they really had to.
- 7:56Speaker 2: They were playing a man down. But something switches in
- 7:58Speaker 2: your brain when you're playing a man down is actually
- 8:01Speaker 2: everyone on the field tries like ten or fifteen percent harder,
- 8:05Speaker 2: and it's really hard to beat a team that is
- 8:08Speaker 2: a man down, especially when they're already protecting a lead.
- 8:12Speaker 2: The opposite happened yesterday for England. They thought that this
- 8:15Speaker 2: was going to be another Okay, we scored our goal
- 8:18Speaker 2: against Mexico, like against Mexico, we've gotten our goal against Argentina. Well,
- 8:22Speaker 2: let's just sit back. We'll bring on a six to
- 8:25Speaker 2: seven defender. At some point, we'll bring on a couple
- 8:27Speaker 2: other defenders. But that isn't what worked for them in
- 8:30Speaker 2: that game. And every game is very different, and for
- 8:33Speaker 2: some reason, Thomas Toucle saw that, you know, we're going
- 8:37Speaker 2: to kind of stick with our guns and we're going
- 8:39Speaker 2: to bring on some defenders. But there's a psychological impact
- 8:42Speaker 2: when you're in a game like that. For everyone on
- 8:43Speaker 2: the field. Is as soon as you're a player on
- 8:46Speaker 2: the field and let's say you're out. Anthony Gordon, for example,
- 8:50Speaker 2: is a left winger, left forward. He gets taken off,
- 8:53Speaker 2: everyone on the field is expecting an attacking player to
- 8:55Speaker 2: come on to replace him. Well, another defender comes on
- 8:58Speaker 2: the field, everyone goes into a mind shift of I
- 9:02Speaker 2: have to defend. Now we're defending. No matter if the
- 9:05Speaker 2: coach says play the same, you're defending at the end
- 9:08Speaker 2: of the day because you brought on the defender. There's
- 9:10Speaker 2: a reason why these seasoned veterans on those teams are defenders.
- 9:14Speaker 2: They are not attackers. So it's a complete mental mind
- 9:17Speaker 2: shift as well.
- 9:18Speaker 1: There's a term brad in American football, and I'm sure
- 9:22Speaker 1: you follow and I'm sure you know it, but they
- 9:24Speaker 1: call it a dime. And that's when a quarterback just
- 9:26Speaker 1: throws the perfect pass like there's no defense, Like you
- 9:30Speaker 1: had it the receiver defended, but he threw it in
- 9:33Speaker 1: a spot that the only spot that he could have
- 9:37Speaker 1: thrown it to complete the pass. And I see being
- 9:40Speaker 1: able to do that with your arm as a quarterback,
- 9:44Speaker 1: but I don't know if I thought it was possible
- 9:47Speaker 1: with your feet kicking a ball. And yet Leno MESSI yesterday.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I mean that some of those passes were just right
- 9:56Speaker 1: on the money with his feet. So as somebody that
- 10:00Speaker 1: watch more soccer in the last month than I probably
- 10:02Speaker 1: have in my entire life. I would just say I
- 10:05Speaker 1: knew that Messi could score, and I knew that he
- 10:07Speaker 1: could handle the ball, dribble the ball if you will.
- 10:12Speaker 1: But man, those that display he put on passing wise yesterday,
- 10:16Speaker 1: to me was unreal. Your reaction to it all.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he is one of the best passers
- 10:23Speaker 2: in the game. There's a reason why his assist total is,
- 10:26Speaker 2: you know, not out of this world. So you're right,
- 10:30Speaker 2: they were dimes. You had McCallister hit the post with
- 10:34Speaker 2: a header, you had mccallisterer hit the post with his feet,
- 10:39Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Messi's swinging in ball
- 10:41Speaker 2: after ball after ball, whether it was left foot or
- 10:44Speaker 2: right foot, and just giving his team an opportunity. And
- 10:46Speaker 2: if you put the ball in the right place, the
- 10:48Speaker 2: runners will eventually be there.
- 10:50Speaker 1: And people are.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Saying, well, why wouldn't England just they have a six
- 10:53Speaker 2: foot seven center back and everyone else is sixty four
- 10:56Speaker 2: and the six foard six'. Five how is this possible
- 11:00Speaker 2: foot nine player gets on the end of the ball
- 11:02Speaker 2: and heads it. Home it doesn't. Matter in, soccer you're
- 11:05Speaker 2: taught to have spacing no matter. What you don't all
- 11:08Speaker 2: just stand in a line and all attack the ball
- 11:10Speaker 2: at the same time because as soon As messi figures
- 11:13Speaker 2: out that every defender is going to go to the near. Posts,
- 11:15Speaker 2: well soccer players are smart, enough but now we know
- 11:18Speaker 2: that the back post is, on so the ball is
- 11:19Speaker 2: going to find its way to the back. Post so
- 11:22Speaker 2: you are taught to be basically defending on on a
- 11:25Speaker 2: tether of equal. Distance so everyone is always five to
- 11:29Speaker 2: eight yards apart inside the. Box and if one player
- 11:32Speaker 2: goes too far to the player to his, left, well
- 11:35Speaker 2: now to his right there's a twelve yard, gap so
- 11:38Speaker 2: that gap becomes even. Bigger so any day of the,
- 11:41Speaker 2: week if the ball is a, dime a five foot
- 11:43Speaker 2: nine player can be in that gap and If messi
- 11:45Speaker 2: finds it, there it is, bang there's your.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Goal and it.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Happened it could have been four or five Nothing argentina
- 11:50Speaker 2: in those last twenty. Minutes let's be. Honest it wasn't
- 11:53Speaker 2: like they just all of a sudden had two chances
- 11:56Speaker 2: in the last few minutes of the. Game so the
- 11:58Speaker 2: pressure was coming the ball all the consistency of the
- 12:01Speaker 2: service was always, there and at the end of the,
- 12:04Speaker 2: day you make good runs where the ball should be
- 12:07Speaker 2: you're going to find yourself with. Opportunities they, did and
- 12:10Speaker 2: yes they Were. Dines, Absolutely.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yeah Brad evans is with us Talking World cup here.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Today argentina moves on to Face Spain sunday at. Noon
- 12:18Speaker 1: more on that in a, moment but just one last
- 12:20Speaker 1: question About. ARGENTINA i think a lot of people watch
- 12:23Speaker 1: a sport where scoring is very hard to come, by
- 12:25Speaker 1: and Yet, argentina match after match after, match just seems
- 12:29Speaker 1: to press a. Button when they need a, goal they
- 12:31Speaker 1: can get a. Goal and so are they that? Good
- 12:35Speaker 1: have they been getting? Lucky are they getting breaks from
- 12:38Speaker 1: the refs like a lot of people are complaining. About
- 12:41Speaker 1: is it another you, know the hand Of, god you,
- 12:43Speaker 1: know reaching? DOWN i, mean how would you describe How
- 12:47Speaker 1: argentina continues to seemingly get out played for a lot
- 12:50Speaker 1: of the, match but when they need to be the
- 12:52Speaker 1: best team they always find a way to do.
- 12:54Speaker 2: That, well to, me they don't get any of these
- 12:58Speaker 2: results Without messy on the. FIELD i don't win that
- 13:00Speaker 2: game Without messi on the pitch last, night yesterday, afternoon
- 13:04Speaker 2: AND i really don't think. So they still have world class.
- 13:07Speaker 2: PLAYERS i, mean you're bringing off a player on the
- 13:08Speaker 2: bench who you know plays In sara A ah has
- 13:11Speaker 2: been player of The year In Sarah ah and so
- 13:14Speaker 2: there's still a stacked, team, yes but there's something about
- 13:18Speaker 2: when you have the greatest player playing with you and
- 13:21Speaker 2: you're playing for, him magic just tends to.
- 13:24Speaker 1: HAPPEN i, mean.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Whether it's The Bulls, brady you, Know Michael jordan with
- 13:29Speaker 2: The Bulls, brady who named the athlete that's great and
- 13:33Speaker 2: consistently gets results and we always ask our questions, why how,
- 13:37Speaker 2: well that's why they're the greatest is because sometimes we
- 13:39Speaker 2: can't really explain. It and if they do win this,
- 13:43Speaker 2: weekend it will go. DOWN i, mean he has to
- 13:46Speaker 2: be unequivocally the greatest soccer player of all time because to,
- 13:49Speaker 2: me they count you on your. Championships that's how every
- 13:52Speaker 2: sport should. Be and so for for this team to
- 13:56Speaker 2: consistently get, results it's it's some crazy. BELIEF i really
- 14:00Speaker 2: can't pinpoint. It it's like they always believe that there
- 14:04Speaker 2: is a chance to win in a. Game they could
- 14:05Speaker 2: be down three to. NOTHING i mean you saw it
- 14:07Speaker 2: In egypt two nothing with what fifteen minutes left in the,
- 14:11Speaker 2: game and then all of a sudden come back and
- 14:12Speaker 2: win three to, two like these are unheard? Of is
- 14:15Speaker 2: there some grace from the? Referee yes last NIGHT i
- 14:18Speaker 2: Thought Ishmael, elfat who's AN mls referee and a WHOLE mls.
- 14:21Speaker 2: CREW i thought he refereed that game. Fantastic there can't
- 14:24Speaker 2: be one complaint about him giving that game To. Argentina
- 14:28Speaker 2: argentina worked to win that game. Yesterday there were no
- 14:33Speaker 2: handouts from, anyone in my, Opinion so they just seem
- 14:37Speaker 2: to have this maniacal way of getting. Results whether it's,
- 14:43Speaker 2: ugly it could be, beautiful it could be we're going
- 14:46Speaker 2: to Foul england and try to just cause a ruckus
- 14:49Speaker 2: in the first fifteen minutes of the. Game but you
- 14:52Speaker 2: hear it on the broadcast, yesterday is like after the
- 14:55Speaker 2: second half, Started messi just started getting into the, game
- 14:58Speaker 2: finding the pockets where where he needed to, be AND
- 15:01Speaker 2: i Think england just got a little bit, tired and
- 15:04Speaker 2: Then england. Scores all of a, Sudden messi some demon
- 15:09Speaker 2: awakens in.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Him and, SAYS i am not losing. Today all, Right
- 15:13Speaker 1: well we got two minutes to. Go So argentina Versus Spain, sunday.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Go, Yeah.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Spain they are.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Fantastic they've only conceded one goal in the entire, tournament
- 15:27Speaker 2: which is beyond, impressive and they're doing it without really
- 15:31Speaker 2: a proven. Superstar they've got, You me And La mall
- 15:35Speaker 2: who's nineteen years, old will be the next. Superstar it's
- 15:39Speaker 2: his chance to kind of Say i'm the, Youngster i'm left.
- 15:42Speaker 2: FOOTED i play a similar role That messi did used
- 15:45Speaker 2: to At barcelona and Now i'm At. BARCELONA i want
- 15:48Speaker 2: to be the next greatest. Thing they've done it with
- 15:50Speaker 2: a workman like mentality and their possession BASED i guess
- 15:57Speaker 2: style of play has proven to be effective once. Again
- 16:00Speaker 2: they won The European championships last time. Around now they
- 16:03Speaker 2: find themselves in a final once, again and when they
- 16:06Speaker 2: go up one, nothing they're not Like england where they're
- 16:09Speaker 2: gonna sit back and just. Defend they will continue to
- 16:12Speaker 2: pass you to. Death and that is the most dangerous
- 16:15Speaker 2: thing For argentina in this. One If spain goes up
- 16:18Speaker 2: one nothing or to, NOTHING i don't Think argentina has
- 16:21Speaker 2: a way back into this one because their ability to
- 16:24Speaker 2: keep the ball is unmatched in this entire. Tournament So
- 16:27Speaker 2: argentina's got their work cut out for. Him but as we've,
- 16:30Speaker 2: seen if you HAVE messi on the, pitch you have a.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Chance phenomenal stuff as, Always and, yes on one, hand
- 16:37Speaker 1: a little sad that we just have the one big.
- 16:40Speaker 1: MATCH i know they play for third place On. Saturday
- 16:42Speaker 1: but on the other, hand you've got rest in your
- 16:45Speaker 1: very near. Future you just got to get through this. Week.

- 16:53Speaker 1: really appreciate you coming on. Here great stuff as, always

- 19:49Speaker 1: for You Tulala Presort. Casino when all you want is
- 19:52Speaker 1: everything all? Right so The mariners get started again On
- 19:54Speaker 1: friday against The San Francisco. GIANTS i do like that
- 19:58Speaker 1: baseball gives a true break To Major League baseball. Team
- 20:03Speaker 1: so That's, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday that's four full days
- 20:06Speaker 1: off for most, teams almost all teams In Major League,
- 20:10Speaker 1: baseball and The mariners being one of, them and the
- 20:12Speaker 1: fact that they only had One All, star everybody got
- 20:16Speaker 1: to kind of. Refresh and so hopefully we'll have a
- 20:20Speaker 1: refresh team that hits the ground, running as we've already
- 20:23Speaker 1: talked about on the show so far this, morning and
- 20:26Speaker 1: there's no excuse not to The giants and The reds
- 20:29Speaker 1: await at. HOME i would think you're going to do.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Well the schedule sets up for you to get off
- 20:35Speaker 1: to a good. Start but how will we? START i
- 20:38Speaker 1: mean this pitching, rotation which has been the strength of
- 20:42Speaker 1: the team again this. Season hasn't been every, season but
- 20:45Speaker 1: most seasons are. Starting pitching is the strength of the.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Team and so they've been very good so far this,
- 20:53Speaker 1: year not quite, great but very. Good and yet we've talked,
- 20:57Speaker 1: more we've had more hand, ringing more converse about how
- 21:00Speaker 1: to set the rotation than anything else about this. Team
- 21:04Speaker 1: we've had an offense that struggled and a defensive, struggled
- 21:07Speaker 1: but we spent more time trying to figure out what
- 21:09Speaker 1: the rotation is going to look like in the first
- 21:11Speaker 1: half of the season than anything else it feels. Like
- 21:14Speaker 1: and so as we get ready to start the second,
- 21:16Speaker 1: half the organization and this will be an organizational decision
- 21:21Speaker 1: for all of Those dan's just a. Puppet they'll all
- 21:26Speaker 1: sit down and they'll figure out what is the exact
- 21:28Speaker 1: sequence we want to start the second. Half and it's
- 21:30Speaker 1: not always what you. Think you always think to, yourself
- 21:33Speaker 1: will you go with your first your best, pitcher and
- 21:35Speaker 1: then the second best, pitcher and you're, right this is
- 21:37Speaker 1: your chance to reset the. Rotation, well they don't do.
- 21:39Speaker 1: THAT i mean even The, giants they're not going with
- 21:42Speaker 1: all Star Logan web in their first game or tight
- 21:44Speaker 1: Pants Robbie, ray who's been pretty good this year. Too
- 21:47Speaker 1: they're going With land And Roop. Friday that's who they're
- 21:50Speaker 1: starting the second half. With and so The mariner is
- 21:53Speaker 1: going to have a similar. Decision they have not yet
- 21:56Speaker 1: announced their rotation plans for the start of the second.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Half so that's what we'll. Do here. Today i've already
- 22:02Speaker 1: said THAT i Think Brian wu should start tomorrow. Night
- 22:06Speaker 1: that should be your first starter of the second half
- 22:08Speaker 1: of the. Season not because he's been the best pitcher
- 22:11Speaker 1: so far for the team this. Year as a matter of,
- 22:13Speaker 1: fact it's probably been the fifth. Best but obviously there's
- 22:17Speaker 1: some definitive home and road. Splits and even though we
- 22:21Speaker 1: Need Brian wu to be successful on the road and
- 22:24Speaker 1: we're not going to abandon that, project truth of the
- 22:28Speaker 1: matter is he's just been fantastic at. Home so why
- 22:32Speaker 1: not take advantage of. That you've got six games to
- 22:36Speaker 1: start the second half of the. SEASON i believe they're
- 22:39Speaker 1: gonna settle on a five man, rotation no matter whose
- 22:43Speaker 1: feelings that, hurt whose feelings get hurt over? That and to,
- 22:47Speaker 1: ME i Go Brian wu in game number one so
- 22:51Speaker 1: that he can pitch two home games for you in
- 22:55Speaker 1: the sixth before we hit the, road and then when
- 22:58Speaker 1: we're on the, Road, ASHLEY i want the other. FOUR
- 23:01Speaker 1: i Want, Gilbert, Miller kirby And. Hancock because the first
- 23:06Speaker 1: road series is against The Texas, rangers who have decided
- 23:10Speaker 1: to be our chief opponent for the divisional race this.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Year The astros are still there, too and SO i
- 23:17Speaker 1: want to stack those four together for that. Series and
- 23:21Speaker 1: IF i were to put them in, SEQUENCE i could
- 23:25Speaker 1: Go gilbert Or miller first or, Second kirby, third and
- 23:31Speaker 1: Then i'd Go handcock, last because he's of course got
- 23:34Speaker 1: the hand, injury so let's Give let's have him pitch
- 23:37Speaker 1: last of the, five and Then castillo is my guy
- 23:40Speaker 1: out of the rotation and moved into the. Bullpen my guess, is,
- 23:44Speaker 1: though they'll Go, Gilbert, kirby Then, miller and Then. Handcock
- 23:48Speaker 1: that would be my guess for what we're gonna do
- 23:51Speaker 1: coming out of the second.
- 23:52Speaker 3: Half, Yeah AND i would THINK i would think if
- 23:54Speaker 3: they were Moving george And bryce around a little, bit
- 23:58Speaker 3: that they could Go, Gilbert, Miller. Kirby BUT i do
- 24:02Speaker 3: think they'd give this in the situation where all guys
- 24:06Speaker 3: are kind of, EQUAL i think they'd give the.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Seniority earlier in the, rotation.
- 24:12Speaker 1: They always seem to Give george the, nod And george finished,
- 24:14Speaker 1: strong finished the first half. Strong so my guess IS
- 24:18Speaker 1: i think they will GO i, mean not only DO
- 24:21Speaker 1: i think it's my. PREFERENCE i think they will Go woo. First,
- 24:25Speaker 1: yeah and THEN i think they'll Go Gilbert, Kirby, Miller.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Handcock and the, biggest the biggest component of, this which
- 24:31Speaker 1: is WHAT i probably should have led, with is THAT
- 24:34Speaker 1: i think that they are going to go five man,
- 24:36Speaker 1: rotation and Maybe i'll end up being. SURPRISED i think
- 24:39Speaker 1: the piggyback has been. FLUSHED i don't think that we're
- 24:42Speaker 1: going to see the piggyback used. AGAIN i Think Luis
- 24:45Speaker 1: castillo is being told over the at some point during
- 24:48Speaker 1: this break four, days he's probably already been, told or
- 24:52Speaker 1: he's getting ready to be, told we're going to move
- 24:54Speaker 1: you to the. Bullpen you'll be long. Relief we might
- 25:00Speaker 1: put you back toward the back of the back, end
- 25:03Speaker 1: we might work you toward high leverage before the season
- 25:07Speaker 1: comes to a, close but we'll go long relief for right,
- 25:11Speaker 1: now and that way you can stay stretched out in
- 25:14Speaker 1: clay case we do have an injury at some point
- 25:17Speaker 1: in the second, half as best we. Can BUT i
- 25:20Speaker 1: think that's the decision that they're going to. Make we'll
- 25:23Speaker 1: find out probably, tomorrow because they don't they're not going
- 25:26Speaker 1: to give us any information in. Advance BUT i do
- 25:30Speaker 1: believe they're going to go to a five man. ROTATION
- 25:32Speaker 1: i think the experimentation is over with a, piggyback AND
- 25:35Speaker 1: i think the mister nice guy with a six man
- 25:38Speaker 1: rotation is over as. Well and if you do need
- 25:40Speaker 1: a starting, pitcher let's Say Luis castillo isn't stretched out
- 25:44Speaker 1: anymore a month from, now when you need an extra starting,
- 25:46Speaker 1: Pitcher Kate anderson's going to be that guy or could
- 25:50Speaker 1: be that. Guy so that's my expectation for how they'll
- 25:54Speaker 1: set the.
- 25:54Speaker 4: ROTATION i, mean and that makes the most sense to.
- 25:56Speaker 3: Me the ONLY i just don't think we Can we
- 25:59Speaker 3: can't come back can be messing around still with the
- 26:01Speaker 3: idea of a six man rotation because we can't make
- 26:03Speaker 3: up our. MINDS i, MEAN i feel like you've had enough,
- 26:06Speaker 3: time you've seen, Enough you've seen every possibility you could,
- 26:09Speaker 3: see except for the idea of the roadent home piggyback
- 26:13Speaker 3: With Police castillo And Brian wood like that would be
- 26:16Speaker 3: the only other THING i could see you coming up
- 26:18Speaker 3: with if you wanted to try one more.
- 26:19Speaker 4: Thing but enough with the six man rotation and enough
- 26:23Speaker 4: with the regular.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Piggyback, YEAH i, Agree AND i think that they're at
- 26:26Speaker 1: that place. TOO i THINK i Think dan struggled with
- 26:31Speaker 1: not knowing exactly how to do. THIS i think he
- 26:35Speaker 1: struggled with his bullpen pieces to begin, with and then
- 26:38Speaker 1: when you go six man, rotation now all of a,
- 26:40Speaker 1: sudden he's got one less guy coming out of the,
- 26:43Speaker 1: bullpen which apparently is like solving time travel For Dan,
- 26:47Speaker 1: wilson the most difficult thing.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Ever.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Yeah and then the PIGGYBACK i think is also one
- 26:51Speaker 1: of those Where Ah price is on a. ROLL i
- 26:54Speaker 1: really got to take him. Out, yeah we, decided SO
- 26:57Speaker 1: i think they're gonna flush, that so that would BE i,
- 27:00Speaker 1: Guess and that's kind of The that's the frustrating part
- 27:04Speaker 1: about it is that When Bryce miller got, ACTIVATED i
- 27:07Speaker 1: think the feeling Was luis is our sixth best, Starter
- 27:12Speaker 1: and then we did all of, this all these, machinations
- 27:15Speaker 1: got to The All star break just to Realize Luis
- 27:18Speaker 1: castillo is our sixth best, start.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Right it took us a while to get.
- 27:20Speaker 2: There.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah and so let the second half. Begin we'll
- 27:25Speaker 1: see how they decide to map it. Out But i'd START.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Wu i'd START wu tomorrow night Against land And roup
- 27:31Speaker 1: and The giants all, right coming up next on the,
- 27:33Speaker 1: Program Big day here for The crack and. Flagship but

- 28:32Speaker 1: if there's anything about the hockey season we've all, known
- 28:35Speaker 1: it's that it's way too.
- 28:37Speaker 3: SHORT i will say, though at least they didn't just
- 28:41Speaker 3: add two regular season games and not make any other.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Changes At least they took away from the. Preseason that.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Helps that does. Help but going to eighty four games
- 28:51Speaker 1: this year and then they will have the two In,
- 28:53Speaker 1: finland we already knew. That so they'll have their Two
- 28:55Speaker 1: finland games The Coppo Coaco, Bowl so that's going to

- 29:03Speaker 1: know that they're going to open on the road and
- 29:06Speaker 1: they're going to open In calgary On october, first so
- 29:10Speaker 1: taking on The flames to start the. SEASON i don't know,
- 29:14Speaker 1: why but until YESTERDAY i really thought because every YEAR
- 29:18Speaker 1: i Say i'm going to go To calgary and watch The. Cracker,
- 29:21Speaker 1: yeah AND i still have not done it. YET i
- 29:25Speaker 1: even got my passport last year renewed AND i still
- 29:28Speaker 1: haven't done. It BUT i do want to go To.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Calgary but until, YESTERDAY i, Thought i'm just going to
- 29:34Speaker 1: hop on a train And i'm going to go To.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Calgary that sounds. Wonderful you know how long that. IS
- 29:39Speaker 1: i love. Trains it's, Fine i'm going to go on
- 29:42Speaker 1: a train ride To. Calgary it's just one province. Over
- 29:46Speaker 1: and THEN i was told yesterday that is a twenty
- 29:49Speaker 1: eight hour train. Ride.
- 29:51Speaker 3: YEAH i felt bad because it seemed like your dreams
- 29:53Speaker 3: got crushed a little, bit a little, bit and then
- 29:55Speaker 3: you were, Like, okay Then, Vancouver i'll go To.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Vancouver on the.
- 29:59Speaker 1: TRAIN i will go To vancouver on the. Train BUT
- 30:03Speaker 1: i thought, THAT i mean forgre to be. Lengthy, yeah
- 30:08Speaker 1: but twenty eight. Hours you should be able to get
- 30:09Speaker 1: To toronto in twenty eight hours for goodness, sake twenty
- 30:12Speaker 1: eight hours just one province? Over are you kidding?
- 30:15Speaker 4: ME i know it is crazy because you think about.
- 30:17Speaker 2: It.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Though they have to, stop and you know they go
- 30:19Speaker 3: slow through certain towns you're not, Crossing, yeah all sorts of.
- 30:23Speaker 3: THINGS a train, ride in theory seems like it should
- 30:27Speaker 3: be a really efficient way to.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Go it's.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Not it's really it's. RELAXING i, mean because apparently it's
- 30:33Speaker 1: eleven and a half hour.
- 30:35Speaker 4: Drive, no it was only it said it was like
- 30:37Speaker 4: six and a.
- 30:38Speaker 1: Half he said eleven and a.
- 30:40Speaker 4: HALF i think it's like six and a half hours to.

- 30:58Speaker 1: i keep hearing.
- 30:59Speaker 3: ABOUT i, mean a car's got to, stop and you'd
- 31:02Speaker 3: think a train would have a more direct, route you would.
- 31:04Speaker 1: THINK i don't, know only there are a lot of
- 31:07Speaker 1: stop signs or old ladies in the slow lane.
- 31:11Speaker 4: When a train's.
