  Speaker 1: k j R f M, and we do you until
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: ten o'clock this morning. As I try to stay on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: top of things. Man, I'm gonna tell you something. It
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I have boarded the struggle bus here as just a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: human being as of late. I mean, so Unicorn's out
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of town. And believe me, I don't sit there and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: depend on Unicorn for just about anything. I mean, she's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: occasionally makes a meal, and she's a germophobe, so she
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: continuously is cleaning the house. So I always go home
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to a clean house. But she's been out of town
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: on the coast looking after her sister's property out there
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on the coast, so sort of like a caretaker, like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the shining And she thought she was going to go
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: crazy being out on the coast by herself with the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: dogs and everything else. And she's thriving. I'm a mess.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean I have spent I never got married,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: but I've lived with island how many four or five
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: women in my life, Probably twenty years of my adult
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: life have been spent shacked up, and then half of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it has been spent as as you know, somebody that dates.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But you know, but I've always thrived the most in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: those moments, Like I've done the most productive things when
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you're by yourself, when I'm by myself, Like I've thrived
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in like getting things done. And it's not, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: being in the best shape and not because I don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: think that the person I'm with I deserve to be
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in the best shape for or she deserves that I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in the best shape for her. It's not that. It's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: more of just like I have all this extra time
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: now and I'm going to use it very effectively. Oh
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: my gosh, the lack of effectiveness that I have shown
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: over the course of these last four and a half weeks,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and I am doing some of the dumbest things and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: then having to fix them. I don't even want to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: go through the list.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I kind of want you to.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'll do it for you off the air, because I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: don't want to go through the list. But I just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it has been a battle. I have battled myself here
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for the last four weeks. When I thought, oh my gosh,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: she's out of town, she's on the coast. Here's I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: can go back to thriving Chuck, productive Chuck. I can
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: get so much done here. I can't get anything done
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: because I have to keep fixing the screw ups that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I've made. It's unreal. I don't even know. I guess
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I should give examples to explain it. This is not
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: even example to explain it. But it's sort of like this,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Like if I wash a dish, okay, and then I'm like, okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: dishes washed, and then I'll take it without thinking and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: set it on top of a dirty dish.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, what am I doing?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I now I've got to wash the dish again, right, Like,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what is happening? I mean, that's not an example, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it gives you of what I'm doing.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: So just creating extra work for yourself.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Well, she's a germophobe, and so that's why she keeps
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the house. I mean it's perfect. It is perfect. That's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the way she keeps house because she can't stand like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a speck of dust, she can't stay. And that was
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: hard to adapt to. Not that I'm some dirty person,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: but that's hard to adapt to. And so I've kind
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of adapted to that. And I don't try to keep
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: up with her because that's impossible, but I certainly don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: try to create more work for her. So I'm pretty neat.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It's always been pretty neat, whether I was a roommate,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: my twenties, are in college with someone or live in boyfriend,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: whatever the case might be. So I am pretty neat.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But there's something about, like, now I'm on my own
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and I need to keep up her germaphobic house and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it's not really who I am. And because i haven't
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: had this much time alone in a while, I'm like
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: screwing everything up and having to do it like to times.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I mean it is I'm like if I had hair,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: i'd pull it out like it, and so it's just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: even now, Like I know that I locked the door
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: when I left the place this morning because it's habitual, right,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But because it's habitual, you don't you don't really remember
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: doing it. But I've been screwing so many things up.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, did I leave the door open? Did I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just leave it wide open?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Did I just just inviting people in?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Did I take the groceries and did I put it?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Did I stack them in the living room rather than
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the refrigerator? I mean, is the baby safe? Do I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: have a baby? You don't?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: You're safe there.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have a baby, all right, So I didn't
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: leave the baby alone and stranded? Okay, patio, very good,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: very very Yeah. It's been one of those things like, uh,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: did I leave water out for the cat? Do we have?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Has water been invented yet? Why do I have a cat?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: You don't have a cat.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So see, see, you're not screwing up as much as
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: you thought you did.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't think it's one of those Oh you're
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: getting old and you're losing your mind. I don't think
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that's what it is at all, because I feel very
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: sharp in a lot of areas. I mean, I don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: think I could do this job if I wasn't really
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: sharp in a lot of areas. But it's like, Okay,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: now I have the responsibilities of the home, and I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: also have all this free time, which I'm not used
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to having, and I want to use it in the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: most productive way possible. And I mean, she's coming home
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: probably this weekend, and it feels like I've just accomplished
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: nothing because I keep having to redo mistakes that I'm making.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And I hope she's not listening because she'll want an explanation.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, she doesn't.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I hope she didn't decide to start listening.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly when she first moved up here, she listened
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to every second, got every drop, and I'd go home
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to like, oh, you are so good on this today.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'd get great reviews. And at some point in every
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: sports talk shows life, the wife is sick of sports
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and does not want to hear about it, does not
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: want to know about it, and doesn't even really want
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to watch them. Yeah, you got a pretty good situation there,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: because your husband's actually an even bigger sports fan than you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Are, right there, Yeah, he is, or at least. Yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: i'd say he has or were the same?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, equal, and your daughter's being raised the same way
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he is, So you got a happy household there, I do. Yay. Anyway,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, top of mind. I don't know did I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: bring pants today that much?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you because I can only see your
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: top half.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Let me luck real quick. Nope, you are out of luck, Ashley. Yeah,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you may want to go get me a towel.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I will gladly, and then I'll just open the door
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and throw it at you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: They're a k robe around here.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure there is all.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, good morning. Do you welcome to the radio show.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I've got to laugh about my struggle otherwise I'll cry. Yeah. Plus,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: maybe it's not that enjoyable to roll into the topic.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm ready getting ready to discuss here again this morning.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: But we do welcome you to the show. Ashley, Ryan
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: is here. My name is Chuck Pow. We got all
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: sorts of things planned for you. I've got what's on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: tap here. In a moment, we'll map it out. We
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: do have you till ten o'clock today, and you will
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: go nowhere, otherwise you're gonna throw me off. Again.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: That's right, you stay here.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't throw me off anymore than I've already been
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: thrown off. All right, So let's talk about last night.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: The Mariners lose four to two to the Cincinnati red
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So drop back to five hundred, fall back out of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: first place. Probably gonna do that dance for a while. Anyway.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not so worried about the loss. We're not gonna
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: win them all, and I don't think that we're playing
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all that great of baseball. So I'm not surprised that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in game number two of a three game series with
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a talented, young but mistake prone Cincinnati baseball team that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: we lost With Chase Burns on the mound. I mean,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he's pretty much beats everybody that he faces, So I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: kind of warned everybody yesterday this is gonna be a challenge,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a difficult one to get. So
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not bothered by the lost. I'm not surprised by
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the lost whatsoever. And I still don't think this team's firing,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So there's no surprise that they dropped a game in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the middle of the series at home against the Cincinnati Reds.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: No big deal, right, But man Ashley does it just
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: do I have to keep getting an example or two
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: every single night of what is frustrating us about our manager.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I would like to say no, but I think so.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to pile on. I've made
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: my statement. I don't think that Dan Wilson's the best
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: guy for this job. I think we'd be better off
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if we made a managerial change. And by the way,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Ryan Heally, if you're listening, I made that statement last Monday.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: There was some confusion. Yeah, he was like, you made
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that Monday after beating this Giins on this. I know
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I made it last Monday before during the All Star break.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: So I've made it, my points known, I've given my reasons,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I've defended it, I've taken We did an entire show,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: or at least an entire hour where I ask for
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: people to disagree with me intentionally so that I could
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: see your point of view. And yet the things that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: frustrate me just continue to pop back up. And at least,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: at least, if you're going to do things that I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: feel are wrong, at least be consistent with how you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: do it. At least own no, this is how I'm
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: going to do it. And we'll see if it turns
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: out okay for us, you know, because there's more than
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: one way to skin a cat. As my mom used
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to say, a very evil woman. Yeah, poor cats, Yeah,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: poor cats. Yeah. I get it, I get it. There's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: there's a full there are reasons behind what Dan is doing.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I just don't necessarily see the logic in them sometimes.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm not placing all of the blame on his
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: at his feet, and I'm not saying everything that he
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: does is wrong. I'm just saying the things like the inconsistency.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: May it be the biggest part. Example, So yesterday I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: had a problem with George Kirby being taken out after
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: eighty pitches. We're winning one to nothing, and he takes
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: George Kirby out after eighty pitches and six innings when
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he knows war bullpen guys aren't available because our four
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: best leverage pitchers had to pitch both games Saturday and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Sunday to defeat the Giants. That happens, you might have
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to use different guys nine outs to go, though, I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm taking out one of my starting pitchers
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: who's dominating the game and has at least one more
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and if he's efficient, maybe you can get two more
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: innings out of him, and really shortened that bullpen so
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that you don't have to trust that all three of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: your worst relievers are going to be on their game
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that night to protect a one nothing lead. Now, as
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it turns out, Davila got us out of the seventh,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and then we scored six runs in the bottom of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the inning, blew it open and didn't have to worry
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about it. Crisis averted. So the logic afterwards, Dan says,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we'd seen enough, he'd given us enough. He's been off
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: for a while because of the All Star break, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we didn't want to overtax him, so we decided that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: was the time to pull him out. I didn't understand it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Ryan Healey gave me a reason yesterday he thought, I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: mean he understood it. I didn't even understand it when
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Ryan Healey explained it to me. I think it was
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the wrong move. The next night, Luis Castillo throws one hundred.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Pitches, one hundred and one, actually chuck.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Hundred pitches. Hey, wait a minute, what happened to the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: We're coming off the All Star break and they've had
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a little extra time, and we don't want to extend
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: them too much the first time out. Yeah, well we're
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: gonna go one hundred pitches with Castillo trailing by three
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: versus one hundred pitches for Kirby up one.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Now, can somebody explain that to me?
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: I sure can't.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there is an explanation for that. Man,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I've been studying this sport for a really long period
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of time. There is no explanation for that hypocrisy.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: I put it out on Twitter last night because I
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: was like, Okay, there's there's just no rhyme or reason. Clearly,
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: it's just whatever day, those are the rules for that day.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: It's not even and there are the rules though, so
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: no wonder Dan Wilson has a hard time.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Clearly the rules change every day.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think that the rules are being changed
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: by anybody but him.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Maybe it's an in game decision.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But but you bring that up because people say it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Jerry and justin making all the decisions like they're not
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: well the in game decisions. There was no in game meeting,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: pregame meeting saying George Kirby should be taken out after
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: six innings. That was Dan and his staff's decision at
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that point. So then you get to the very then
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you get to the bullpen, and everybody knows I had
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a problem with Scott Service when he didn't do this, like, Okay,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: we're within a bloop and a blast of tying this
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: thing up. I don't think you have to. I get it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: If your bullpen's tired, then you may want to avoid them.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Down three to nothing, okay, that's three nothing. Go to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: your plan. B, go to your plan be at three
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to nothing. At three to one, they bring in Forrair
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and I celebrated a little bit in my heart because
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, we're not giving up on this. All
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: four high leverage guys had the night off the night before.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: We're within a bloop and a blast. It's still relatively early.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: We just scored the last run Frere in the game
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to keep it a two run game, and then let's see,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: let's see from there. Then we score another run to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: make it three to two, so we've actually closed the gap.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But who starts the ninth not Bizarre Doo or Spire
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: against a lefty low who's coming to the plate. We
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: go to plan see yep and Mike Rucker, we have
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the momentum, we're only down one. You've already committed to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a night where Farreer can pitch. We have a day
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: off on Thursday, so even if we did use a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Bizardo or a Spire, there's no reason that one guy
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't go back to back days if you need him
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon. Because we have Wednesday evening off, Thursday off,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: all of Friday off until Friday night. That's pretty much
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: two days of rest. We can extend a Bizardo here
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to pitch tonight, to keep it a one run deficit,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of the momentum that we gained against
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a team with a bad bullpen. Try to win this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: thing tonight. And Bizardo could still pitch tomorrow afternoon if
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: we needed him to. But instead we go to Rucker
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and the ninth inning.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: And what happens to the first.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Batter home run?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Now we're down two, yep, and air out of the tire,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: completely out of the tire, didn't even mount a threat,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: didn't even didn't even give a quality at bat in
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the ninth inning, and we lose four to two. Hey,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I know when your bullpen is tax that sometimes in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a close game, even when you were winning, in a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: close game, you got to go to some guys, have
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to get things done that you normally wouldn't want to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: rely on in that situation. I didn't have a problem
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: with de Vila pitching two nights ago. I had a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: problem with him pitching in the seventh. I knew that
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: we would probably have to use him, and I've come
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to kind of trust the villa. I think he's definitely
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: our fifth best guy. But for you to have made
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the decision down three to one, hey, we're close enough,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Let's use one of our four best Let's keep it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: at two run deficit, then come in and score a run. Hey,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: we got the momentum. We're only down one. Now, Hey,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: who do we go with in the ninth to keep
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: this a one run deficit? Our worst guy?
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we should bring in Rutger.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: This is the exact situation that calls for him.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: It makes no sense.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I don't understand, So I guess I am piling on.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna have to pile on. I guess
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to point this out every single time
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: until somebody can tell me that it makes sense. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: don't know where the defense is for taking Kirby out
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: after six innings two nights ago, and then I don't
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: know where the defense is for hip the hypocrisy of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: letting Castillo go one hundred pitches last night. If we're
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: protecting guys who are coming off the break and then
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and then using one of your better guys down two,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: but then not one of your better guys down one,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I just I can't solve it. And so until I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: can start figuring out the logic behind these decisions, then
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to just have to keep questioning it every day,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: no matter how annoying it gets.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Well, and I don't think that's piling on because if
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: you are a Mariners fan and you watched that game
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: last night and you aren't questioning those things, then you're
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: not paying attention because those are the things that are
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: hurting this team. And those questions, those those moments, those questions,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: it makes no sense.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: You have no reason why Michael Rucker.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: And I'm not trying to bash Michael Rutcker because I
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: think he has some good pitches in him, but that
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: is not a situation where you use him.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: That's it. It's a spire or a bizardo.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: I'd rather even see Mooney in they're protecting a one
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: run lead than I would see Rucker.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, if the logic is one, Hey,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: if the logic is were down three, so let's go
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: ahead and get everything we can out of Castillo. I
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: can get that. And then if you are down two
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and you've just decided, hey, we might have to just
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to win the series, let's keep everybody for tomorrow to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: kind of half commit to staying in the game and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: then get closer and then decide, Nah, let's scrap that plan.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: We're not We're not going to win this one.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Jumpship what Yeah, makes no sense. There's there's no way
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: to I think Dan could sit there and try to
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: explain it to me and I still would have no understanding.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know there are rules, but we don't
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: know what the rules are, right, And so to just
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: look at everything some of you and just say, well,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that's Jerry and justin making it, you're letting Dan off
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the hook for everything. What can he be held responsible for?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Players play listless and sloppy and unfocused. We blame it
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: on the You're gonna blame it on the players. And
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: then every managerial decision that looks ridiculous, you blame it
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: on the front office because they've set rules before. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: know they set some rules, but we don't know how
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: what rules that they've set. I promise you it wasn't
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: let's go for it if we're down too, but if
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we get within one, let's abandon that. I promise you
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that's not a rule.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: No.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap. I have
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: your attention, please. This is what's on tap.

• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and fifty one on the season, sixty games even to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: go on the regular season second place right now because
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the Rangers did win last night and they will have
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: a chance well to win the series. Here today this afternoon,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: twelve forty first pitch, it'll be Hancock versus Singer. More
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: on that in Mariners Morning after at six thirty three
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: days till training camp, and we're providing training camp previews
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a few times per Show throughout the course of the week.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Part of our training camp preview will be Dave Richard
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: joining us. Dave, you know he's already pumped. He's already
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: had sixteen fantasy football drafts, so he's going to join
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: us today and talk about the who he's got his
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: eye on heading into camp. Give you a little refresher.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's a bad time to talk fantasy football.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Seahawks have made some news this week. Nick even Warri
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: is on the pup list. We don't exactly know why,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: but that's a little discouraging. Sounds like Devin Witherspoon is
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: close to his extension and should get it done before
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: camp begins on Saturday. So that's certainly a big topic
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: here heading into training camp. And Hard Knocks has said
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: its scheduled. The first Hard Knocks episode is going to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: be on August fourth, So Tuesday, August fourth. Sounders in
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: action against Austin today at six point thirty. Brian Schmetzer
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: has really been riding his players hard after that five
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to one lost to Portland last week. Stretch is gonna
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: join us. We got to talk to Stretch one last
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: time to wrap up the world Cup and also talk
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a little Sounders soccer with him today at eight Storm
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Links today they just played the Links won, but they'll
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: play this time here and finally, lebron Watch continues. Apparently
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Miami put out a bad PR release yesterday and it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: got people overly excited, and it was fake. It was
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: apparently just in case he does sign we want to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: get this out in a hurry and somebody hit sinned.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so that person in charge of the nuclear
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: code kind of like me.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: It must be me. I think maybe I was in charge.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Of it trying to be proactive.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was trying to multitask and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: probably was half thinking, and I probably sent out a
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Miami heat press release yesterday. All right, Mariners Morning After next,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: we're just underway here on this Wednesday. Sports Radio ninety
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: three point three KJARFM. Good morning to you. It is
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Ashley and Chuck with your time for Mariners Morning After.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: We play sad depressing music after losses, and it's because
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: we're sad and depressed mainly. The Reds won over the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners last night by a final score of four
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: to two. I'm not so bothered by the loss as
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I mentioned in our first segment, I really wasn't counting
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: on a victory last night. Chase Burn's been mowing everybody down.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It's not like our offense as some juggernaut, so I
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: suspected that we'd struggle. We also are throwing our sixth
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: best starting pitcher against their best pitcher, so on paper,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: it didn't quite feel like a win. And yet Castile
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: pitched well. Yep, not great, but he pitched well, well enough,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: good enough, and the offense was chipping away at a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: three nothing deficit that Cincinnati had built through five innings,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and the seventh West and Wilson. That's a big strong
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: boy right there, that West and Wilson, and he crushed
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: one out, even though our play by play guy had
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a little difficulty wondering how far he did it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: And then the dinger detector.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And then Julio Rodriguez, who earlier who did not start
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the game because of this mysterious injury, took a ball
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to the butt the previous night. I don't know if
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: he got a butt concussion or what, but he wasn't
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: available to play. Apparently he hit the bag hard as well,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: so it was more about how he hit the bag
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: when he got hitting the butt than it was getting
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: hit in the butt, so they wanted to be cautious
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: with him. They didn't start him. And then he comes
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: off of the bench and has the two best at
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: bats of the night. He hits a laser beam one
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: hopper in the hole on the left side that Elie
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: de la Cruz. I don't even know how he had
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the reflexes to make that play. Neither did.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Julio looks like an octopus out there with like multiple
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: arms and legs to make that play.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: He's so freakish.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: So that was such a good play.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, great play. They played great defense. Gino made a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: great play. They played great defense. They took away a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: lot of run scoring opportunities for the Mariners. So we
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: have to give Cincinnati credit. Their defense was atrocious the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: night before.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: That's what I was hoping we'd see again last night.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: But it was fantastic last night, and so that that
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: went into the loss. But Julio hits the laser beam,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: he gets denied a hit, and then the next time
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: up he does this, this bar torched out till they
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: get bit left center. Had a boy had so long
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: run game, Tonio blast off.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that one.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: You could tell he knew, but he's like, I'm gonna
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: wait till it actually crosses.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: The wall so that my call is more dramatic and
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: I am good at this.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: He knew that one, though, you could tell you that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: one last. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good caller, Mariners TV. Julio's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: home run is the fifteenth of the season, believe it
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: or not. And I almost revealed the stat yesterday, but
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: we ran out of time. In x's and o's. It
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: was my last letter that I was planning to get
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to yesterday. Julio had hit one home run in his
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: previous one hundred plus at bats. You know, got off
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to that pretty good start, gown on a little bit
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of a run, but it had been a while since
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Julio had hit a home run, certainly been a long
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: while since he'd hit a second home run. But in
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: two at bats, he it's the laser beam line drive
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: that should have been a hit, and then he crushes
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: one just to the left of center field for a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: home run at a well, and so you are within
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: three to two at that point, you do have the momentum.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, Dan Wilson decided to go to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Mike Rucker and not one of his high leverage guys.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: In the ninth Rutger, who struggled in being given faith,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: gave up a home run on the first battery faced
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and Nate Low and it was four to two Cincinnati.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Emilio Pagan comes in and closes it out and so
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the Mariners do lose by a final score of four
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to two last night to the Cincinnati Reds. Dan Wilson,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: of course, met with the media after the game and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: after doing his we fought hard and played all the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: way through and didn't leave the building in the middle
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of the game nonsense. He did address activating Julio when
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: he didn't start the game.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think we knew, you know, prior
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: to the game that that you know, he was good
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: to go later in the game if if you know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: if needed and and you know, he came in and
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: you know, again thought thought, he put up a couple
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: of really strong at bats and hit the ball hard,
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: extremely hard both times, and uh, you know, if not
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: for that play by day La Cruz there, you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: might have had a different ending going there in that point,
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: and and uh, you know it was it was a
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: you know, a couple of good at bats by Julio Dan.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm obviously one of them, being a runner visioned
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: yesterday Spider and Desargod went one of those guys.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Down, and I mean, you know, you know again with
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: with being down in that situation, you know we've we've
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: got a quick turnaround again tomorrow and and uh so
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: you know you've got to weigh all your options there
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: and and uh you know, Ruck did throw the ball
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: extremely well last night. And you know I thought he
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: threw the ball well too. Just you know, Lowe was
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: able to get him there that first first batter of
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: the inning.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: But but outside that, you know, continued to throw the ball.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Well, what a terrible explanation.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say. That was such a non answer.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: It doesn't down.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: You'll pitch a guy that pitched the night before, and
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: by the way, he pitched well last night. Up seven,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: nothing right, eight, nothing different, situation right, he's not doing well.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he shouldn't be on our team or
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: can't play a role, but he is your mop up guy.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Not high leverage.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Everybody has one of those. You were okay with going
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to Ferrare down two, but then down one, Well, let's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: go to the guy that pitched last night rather than
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a fresh arm and better arm to try to keep
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it a one run game. And then you know, one
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: run games are easier to come back from than two
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: run games.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: I've heard, Yeah, and and to say, oh, we've got
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: a short turnaround, use one of them.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Just all it takes is using one of them to
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: keep you in that.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And I just don't like that, that crystal ball nervous
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: playing with fear, like what if we need everybody tomorrow? Okay, well,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: what if you win twelve to one and don't need anybody.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: You need to play to win the game? You're in
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: uugh not think about ooh but tomorrow.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Look honestly, honestly, and I said this in the first segment,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: A lot of the times when you're down two teams
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: will especially if you know you have used your bullpen.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But we just came off an All Star break. Yeah
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: that you went back to back days. But they're gonna
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: get a day off on Thursday. They're gonna go forty
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: eight hours without playing a baseball game, actually fifty five
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: without playing a baseball game. If somebody has to go
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: back to back days to try to come back from
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: a one run deficit in the ninth. What is wrong
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: with that? How did you commit to we're in this thing,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: let's throw one of our four and then one inning later,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later. Yeah, this is just one of those
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: games where you know we're trailing. Let's save everybody for tomorrow.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: It's so frustrating.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I don't get it today. First pitch is at twelve forty.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: It'll be Emerson Hancock going for us, his first pitch
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of the second, first pitch, first game he's pitched since
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he left injured with the hand. So that's the reason
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: they pushed him all the way to sixth. They wanted
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to give him full rest all Star Break and sixth
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Day into the second half of the season so that
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that would not be prohibited.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: So they'll probably let him pitch forty five pitches.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Only if he's doing well.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Only if he's doing well because he had such a
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: long break.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Brady Singer will pitch for the Cincinnati Rais. Now that
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: should be a guy that we match up with really well.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: He's right handed, number one, he's having a rough season
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: this year. Also, he's not a strikeout pitcher, which we
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: tend to have some difficulty with Chase Burns types. I
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: knew we would last night, but this is a guy
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that we should match up offensively well against. So I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: do think we're going to take two out of three,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and I do think that maybe there's a little bit
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: of momentum going. And I'm not saying we would have
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: pulled that thing out last night had Bizardo pitched the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: ninth I just I'm already having a hard time with
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: these pitching decisions. Everybody knows that. And at least, if
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do things I disagree with, at least be
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: consistent with your own philosophy.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Because you are all over the board right now, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it feels like you don't know what to do.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: That's what it feels like, right And that's one of
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: the things we talked about.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: It doesn't seem like he has any confidence in his
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: decision making and then you do something like that last night,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: or at least if yeah, if you're consistent with what
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: you do, well, this is the way we're do it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: So that's the decision that was made. I can at
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: least respect that, yes, exactly.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: But I mean his explanation was not an explanation he
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: doesn't know why he put Rucker in.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: He doesn't all right, coming up next training camp right
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: around the corner, and why the Seahawks getting a lack
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: of attention is the best thing possible. Sports Radio ninety

• 34:19
  Speaker 1: sometimes you got a zig when others are going to
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: zag at seven o five. Just something I heard this
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: morning and thought that could be a pretty fun topic here.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: So we're going to do that at seven o five today.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Training camp, of course, is going to change all of
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: our lives. We start Monday, full scale training camp coverage.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Sounds like Hugh Millan and I are going to be
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: together a lot next week, which I'm excited about at
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the Virginia Mason Athletics Center as we will broadcast from
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: practice or before practice begins there in Renting. And so
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: this week's been a bit of a training camp preview,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: kind of going through all the things that will end
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: up discussing for the next five weeks. And one of
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the things I wanted to bring up is now that
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the offseason is coming to a close, look Seattle sports fans,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: and you've earned this reputation, And maybe it's because that's
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the way that it really is and you're just telling
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: it like it is. But Seattle sports fans do have
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: a reputation nationally of nobody pays attention to us, and
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you know, we can win a Super Bowl and nobody
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: talks to us. I mean, Dustin Nickerson is like the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: example of this when he comes on the epitome of it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, though, why do you want attention
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: right now? Like I've heard so many, like different conversations
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and we haven't had one on our show about how
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawks can win a Super Bowl and nobody can pay
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: attention to the entire offseason. You want to know why
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: nobody's paying attention to us, because really, the only thing
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks you can say about them, if you're a
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: national ANALYSTI is they're really good and things are going
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the right direction. Yeah, there's nothing sensational about it. We
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: didn't have the most active of off seasons and that's great.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: We don't need one. That's how good we are. It
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: means we're in a pretty good spot, I would think exactly,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: So we didn't need to. You know, the plan is
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: that we were planning to be better from twenty twenty
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: five to twenty twenty six. And that's still the plan
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to be a better football team in twenty twenty six.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And you got all the pieces to do that. So
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the Rams went out and got McDuffie, They got the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: best defensive player in the world. I mean, they were
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: already really good, and so yeah, they got a lot
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: of attention. They earned that attention. They made spectacular It's
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: an acknowledgment of we're not good enough. They're going to
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: get better. We better get better, and I don't think
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: we can do it on our own. So let's go
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: make some splash moves. And yes, the forty nine Ers
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: got more attention than the Seahawks did this offseason for
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: all the wrong reasons, solely because of Brandon I because.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: That's putting a lot of negative attention on them.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the If you look at the San
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers off season word cloud, it says
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Brandon are Yuk and then there's Mike Evans, and then
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: there's no mc and then there's Brian Flory. Left Hey,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: it's all been Bob, Brent. Do we want that kind
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: of attention of course, we don't want that kind of attention.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: We don't want some dill hole on our team that
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: dominates the headlines all off season. Along that's a good thing.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Let them have the attention. And all the Arizona Cardinals
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: attention has been about they're rebuilding and Ken Jeremiah Love
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: put them in the new direction and they have a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback who's their starter who might be holding out?
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Do we want that kind of attention?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: No?
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Those are all sensational topics, and the Rams sensational topics
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: are really exciting and positive ones. Yeah, And the forty
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: nine ers are all negative horrible ones, and the Cardinals
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: are all laughable comedic. Are they ever going to figure
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: it out? Ones? Seahawks aren't getting attention because everyone across
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the country is like, well, there's an organization that's got
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: it figured out. They're going to be really hard to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: get beat this year. They're going to get better, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: it's hard to win back to back Super Bowls. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: there's an opening, right, that's the attention that we're getting.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: That's the exact attention that we want to get. And
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I promise you Mike McDonald and John Schneider love the
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: fact that once again, even though we might have the
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: best roster in the world, everybody's not paying attention to
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Embrace it, stop getting angry about it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and don't be mad that we're not the Super
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: Bowl favorites. I mean, who cares. You don't win based
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: on the odds they give you at the beginning of
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: the season.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: We had real low ones last year. I'd rather not
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: be the favorites.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: I don't want everybody thinking that you know who is
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: coming for us, even though they will be.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: No who else doesn't want to be Super Bowl favorites?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: So I think we're in a great spot and anyone
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: I don't know, just stop worrying about it.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stop worrying about this. These are great problems to have.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: What everybody else make All the shiny headlines, let them
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: be discussed, and the best roster in the National Football
• 39:11
