  Speaker 1: I don't.

• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Is that right? I just figured it's going to have

• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Big change.

• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But I will be out on uh on Friday, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I'm I mean, it's one of those things where it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: like theoretically, you know, it's it's prevention medicine. I mean,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't I'm not sick or anything like that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But I do have that tomorrow, So I won't be
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on the airwaves tomorrow. But yes, by the time I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: do get back on the airwaves, I'm probably gonna sound
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a lot better, smarter, clearer, because I'm gonna you know.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: You're not gonna be full of all that crap.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, which is something that I've been accused of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in the past. But yeah, you're gonna be like, Wow,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: why does he sound so much better today? And it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because I will have an unrecognizable colon.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I hadn't thought it would be.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That much better than it was before. Probably gonna get it,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but dazzled. I mean, why go through all that trouble
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: if you're not gonna just you know, cosmetic surgery it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: up as well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: It's a really smart way to look at it, honestly.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: If you can't, if you can't go in and improve
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: your colon, what are you doing it for?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Right exactly? I mean, why am I in here just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: for a check up? Let's go Yeah, I don't have
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that much time in my day. If I'm here, let's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: do something special.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: And I want photo proof so I can show all
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: my friends.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And now that we're on YouTube, boy, are you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: guys out there going to feel like you are really
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in on it?
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: You are in for a treat. You're gonna be able
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: to see the difference.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Right right, I'm pretty sure I can show it to you. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: pretty sure.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a certain part check.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: With the boss. Yeah, but I think so.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: I think there's a part we can't show. But then
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: there's got to be a part we can't.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that'd be something I could show. I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we got YouTube. Now, we're on YouTube. We got all
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of these new listeners who are enjoying this new platform
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that we're on. You know, I want to share. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: want them to feel like they're on the inside with us,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: I don't think that's what that's supposed to mean, that
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: they're on the inside.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, Well, I don't know. Maybe I've never done
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this before. Maybe I don't understand how it works. All
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I know is that come Saturday morning, I'm going to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be a different human.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Maybe you don't understand how it works, but I love
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: how you think it works.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, don't.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: When you start all your juices and stuff tonight tonight.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like when I get up from my nap, it'll
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it'll be on.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be I.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Can't remember when I how Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you've been telling me about the process, and I'm like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I don't call my process.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But well, apparently they've changed a little bit because I've
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: been on a diet for five days and then I do.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I have to do that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I go on the whole liquid diet starting today because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the procedure is not until like two o'clock tomorrow.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, it like seven am.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so so yeah, So that's that's enough of that. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I think I put enough of an image in everybody's minds.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's a vibrant image. Now they feel part of the program,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which is what I like to do. I like to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: include everyone. So good morning to you. We've got a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: lot going on today, including the start of a golf
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: tournament that's pretty famous. It's the Masters. It is already
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: underway as we speak. We will be providing professional updates
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: from Augusta starting at seven twenty this morning, and then,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of course Ashley and I will provide updates as well
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: when we can when something strikes us. Of course, I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not sure we'll get Ashley away from viewing the Masters
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: whenever viewership becomes available. Is it available yet? I know
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they started at five point forty five.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is on. It's on the apps.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, I have not turned it on yet because yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: that will be a problem.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, But.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like ESPN plus does a bunch of stuff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, well, Ola Thobble is leading. It is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that all that's not Jose Marie Ola Thabble it is. Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: How old is he?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Ninety two?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: My gosh? And I guarantee you he's smoking a cigarette
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: while he's getting ready to line up the fourth shot
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Yes, definitely, otherwise otherwise he's clearly had a Kolonasky and
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: everything's changed about him too.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It happens, I hear, yeah too, wonder for a Ola
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Thabole at this point on the leaderboard. But we are
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just getting underway. It started at five forty five, so
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they're only twenty minutes into tournament action at this point.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So Happy Master's Day to everyone. And I know how
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: many golf nut jobs there are listening right now.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: It's not just Ashley, No, it's definitely not just me.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I got my Augusta sweatshirt.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: On though, Oh you do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I haven't even seen your wardrobe yet. YouTube pass. Yeah,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's just a oh I see you bring any pimento sandwiches?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: By chance?
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I did not.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I can't eat them right now.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you wouldn't be able to eat them.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And I unless you want to liquify it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I don't because that sounds terrible. Really, you can't eat them,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: and I can't either. I have to use fake cheese.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: It's all right, it's not the same.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I think you should just eat through that. I'm really
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: tired of hearing about this. Just eat through.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Just keep trying, you know, I'm not even kidding.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: At one point I thought I had the lactose intolerance.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And I was worried. And I was like thirty four,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thirty five years old, and cause and because I hear
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it just all of a sudden, you have it one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: day in some cases, okay, uh, and it is because
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of ice cream. And then we talked about it on
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the air, just like I tend to talk about things personally.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Which is weird.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I've not heard you do that on the air. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: then and then everybody was giving me this doom and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gloom story about it, and I looked at everybody, said enough,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not giving up ice cream. It's like my best friend.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to eat more of it. I'm going to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: eat my way through it. And it turns out it worked.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's recommended by doctors.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Probably not.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I really think what was going on is I don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: really when I and I've had good health, but when
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I have comebined like halapanos with dairy not a great combination.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Well I can understand that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so, and sometimes you don't even think about.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: You You have earlier in the day delicious.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And then later you have ice cream, and then you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and so you think there's something wrong. I'm not digesting
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it the way that I was.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: But really it's because the jalapenos are eating a hole
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: in your stomach and then the ice cream's just flowing
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: through it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I probably have just offered way too much this morning
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: about stuff.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's been an appropriate amount.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well let's put it this way. It's not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: any lower than appropriate. No, Yeah, I've definitely pushed it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to the edge.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I think you're.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Probably obliterated the line, but there's certainly I haven't fallen
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: short on the other side. Right, So, Yes, the Masters
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is underway, and hopefully Ashley, we'll just have seventeen pimento
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: sandwiches today just to eat.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Through the processes, eat on through it. Good.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing about it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I am too.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Actually, all right, let's get into the Mariners. It's been
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a while since we've led the show with the Mariners,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and there's really nothing positive to discuss about this team
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: right now. We will do Mariners morning after, but a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: five game losing streak here, four and nine start to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the season, and they can't hit. They just can't hit.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They are just awful at the plate right now, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: their defense is picking just the worst times possible to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: make gaffes and it's pretty much leading to the only
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: runs our pitchers are giving up. And so that to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: me is one encouraging signs because our starting rotation looks
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: just as good as advertised, and with the emergence of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock, better than advertised so far this season. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I do believe that the defense, as I said back
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the spring, is an issue. I told you that then,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And I do believe that hitting lefties is an issue
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: because this organization can't seem to find, no matter how
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: good a resume, that they pour over anybody that can
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hit left handed pitching on the rig. And so I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: think those are two issues facing the team right now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But I don't really see anymore. Like I said, starting
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: pitching looks great. Both Penn's been really good so far
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this year, and I think they'll even get better. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I do think the defense will get better as well.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And it really comes down to this. I mean, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: don't want to do this thing. I mean, every year
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we do this and every year, Wait, I have to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: defend that. I'm a knit's early guy. Like everybody else
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that follows baseball religiously is an I'm early guy, Like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: everybody in baseball is an I'm early guy. Hell, we
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: were talking with Jim Bowden last year on July fifteenth,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: before the trading deadline, and he said, it's early. I mean,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that's early than what is April ninth right now. But
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get into.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: This two weeks, yeah, from the start of the season.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to get into that again. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do this every day for the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: month of April. I'll just boil it down to this.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: If you really think that Julio Rodriguez, Josh Naylor, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Kyl Raley are combined one thirty hitters, then I would panic. Yeah,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: if you really think that those three guys went from
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: superstar to burgeoning superstar and All Star and then the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: off season whatever they did turn them into the three
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: worst hitters in the American League. If you believe that,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: then I would panic if I were you, I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: feel any different leak at four and nine as I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: did at four and six. Quite frankly, I mean, this
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: can be made up in a week. There are twenty
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: five weeks left in the season. I mean, you have
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a great week, you go five and one, six and zero,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and you're out of the hole with twenty four weeks
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to go. And don't tell me they're not capable of it,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: because I have a starting pitching that typically doesn't give
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: up more than two or three runs a night. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the offense, I believe will come around. Because Josh Naylor's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a two to eighty career hitter and Kyl Rawley reached
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: superstar status last season, He's not gonna go from sixty
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: homers to six, right, And even before he was a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: superstar last year, he was still a really good player
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: who had thirty thirty five homer potential and was a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: middle of the order guy that you could count on.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And Julio always picks it up in the second half,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and we hoped it would be different in the first
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: half this year, and we are still seventy games away
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: from the end of the first half, for goodness sake,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and so he still has a chance to turn this
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: thing around. So I would just say, and I express
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: concerns for the team. At the beginning of the year,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I had a high wind total for him, but I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: express concerns. I'm not just sitting here just giving you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the company line for the Seattle Mariners. Buggy didn't agree
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: with me in spring when I said I'm worried about
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the defense, but I was worried about the defense, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I'm still worried about the defense. And it's very well
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: documented that whatever right handed hitter they bring in to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: dominate left handed hitters never works. So until they can
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: prove they've found the right guy, I'm gonna worry about
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that too. But those are not things that are going
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to keep this team from They might keep them from
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a being as good as they possibly can be, but
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it's not going to suddenly make them a team that
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: wins four out of every thirteen games. This thing can
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: be turned around in one week's time, and I suspect,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have one of those three big hitters,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and I'll put a Rosarna in there as well. He
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: hadn't had a home run yet. He's got a batting
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: average that's decent, but he hadn't had a home run.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: One of those four guys is hot. We've lost seven
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of nine games by one run, all right. When you're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: playing one run baseball, one guy hot, especially the right guy,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: can make all the difference in the world. One of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: those guys is hot. We are six and seven right now.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Two of them are hot. We're probably eight and five.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: All three of them are hot. We're probably sitting here
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: at eleven and two because of how many one run games,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: because of how good the starting pitching has been. But
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it just turns out that they're all They all stink
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: right now. If you think that that's them and that's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: going to be them, panic, I would really worry because
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the heart of our order went from being spectacular too
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: awful overnight in one off season. I can't believe it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It's never happened in the history of baseball. But Cal
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Raley stinks, and Julio Rodriguez stinks, and Josh Naylor stinks
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and Randy O. Rose Arena is only a singles hitter
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: right now who plays terrible defense. If those are things
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that you believe are real and that they are going
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to persist, give up on the season because they're not
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: going to turn it around. They won't be This is
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: our record, this is who we're gonna be. If those
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: four guys continue to be the worst hitters in the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: American League, that's us. I just don't believe it. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: don't think you should believe it. I don't think Ashley
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: believes it. I guarantee you Bucky doesn't believe it. That's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the biggest guarantee on the face of the earth that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Bucky doesn't believe it. And I think and it might
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: probably is not gonna happen overnight, but it'll start trickling
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that way. Somebody's gonna break through, and once those guys
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: start hitting, it'll be contagious throughout the entire lineup. I
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna go eight and five over our next
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: thirteen games, get back around the five hundred mark. We're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: all gonna believe, breathe a little bit easier, and then
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you still have five months of baseball left to prove
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that you are the best team in the American League West.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So I have zero panic right now, none because the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: reason where four and nine is because our four best
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: hitters are awful right now and they're not going to continue.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: To be Yeah, I would say I don't. I don't
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: have panic either, I just have an annoyance. Hm hm
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: it's I mean yesterday's game when it ended up, Yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: I was just like, are you kidding me? And there
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: was a bad word thrown in there too, and that's
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: that's the problem is. And we talked about this yesterday.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: I just want to watch us win a game. That's
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: all I'm asking. And I don't care.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: It doesn't need to be an eleven to two win.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: It can be a three to two win. I just
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: want to see one of these one run games come
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: out our way because I'm sick of watching us lose.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: And that's it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: And that's not a panic. Oh my god, We're never
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: going to be good. It's just a gross This is gross.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: I was excited for the season to start. This is
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: a different any way for it to start to be going,
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: let's f and fix it, that's it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when it starts at the beginning of the year,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it makes it. It dramatizes it so much absolutely, because
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: there will be a I don't know if there's going
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to be another four or nine stretch this year, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: there will be a four and six stretch a couple
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: more times during the course of the season. No matter
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: how good you are, the Dodgers are going to have
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: one or two of those. You know, that's just baseball,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that's just the way it works. And every single hitter,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: no matter how good they are, Babe Ruth, goes through
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: an extended slump at some point, at a few points
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: during the course of the season. Go look at Aaron
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Judge's numbers. I mean, Aaron Judge had one of the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: best seasons in baseball history as a overall hitter last year,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but he had stretches where he couldn't put the ball
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in play even I mean, Babe Ruth, you name it,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Ted Williams. They all have stretches. You just don't expect
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: all four of your best guys to get off to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of a start and then at any point
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: have them be as bad as what they are. And
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: then it gets exaggerated because it's at the beginning of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the year. So I think they're going to turn it around.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I just started an interview with Jim Bowden two days ago.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: He said, you have nothing to worry about that. That's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the way I feel. Criticize them all you want. They
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: are playing crappy baseball right now, except for the pitchers.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even lump them into this. The offense,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the defense atrocious so far this season. The base running
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: has been bad. I don't think Dan Wilson's been all
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that great. I mean, you're off to an eight and eighteen,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You're off to a four and nine start. I mean,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: if we're eight and eighteen, okay, we might have to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: consider doing something because I guarantee you that organization twenty
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: five games into the season is not going to stand
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for this. They have way too much invested, they have
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: way too much belief in this roster. They're going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: start blaming somebody, whether it's the manager I hope it's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: not the hitting instructor, or a couple of veteran pieces
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that are on this roster right now, and they'll shake
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: it up. There's no way they're going to stand for this,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: not this year. No and so. But I'd sit here
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and I'd bet good money that there's no way that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: this is going to continue even into the immediate future.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm not worry read at all, like, not panicked
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: at all, but I will acknowledge they're crappy right now.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Criticize them all you want, but again, unless you think Julio, Cal, Josh,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and Randy went from being all star caliber players to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: superstar caliber players and are now the four worst hitters
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in baseball, if you feel that way.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd be panicking big time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: If I panicking, I just don't. And actually, when they
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: do break out, it's probably going to be an inferno,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I hope. So so we did get a.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Text from the two five to three that said, I'd
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: rather watch Chuck's kolenoscopy from than this Mariner's offense.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's another thing that nobody is considering. Wait
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: till Friday. Yeah, once I get cleared out in the offense,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're probably worried about me.
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: That's probably true. Once you're cleaned up, Yeah, they're going
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: to clean up.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Once I get a good bill of health, once I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: reach out my hospital window and go to Cal like
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: thumbs up, we're all good lo in.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: That's probably what it is.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Really worried about me, But just got to be prepared.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: That if they if they start going on a hitting
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: streak and then Slimp have to.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'll do it every Friday. If it needs we need
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to do it, I'll go on a lifelong liquid diet.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: There you go, that's fine with me.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: You go eaton what else are you eading?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I really feel moved by this. They really do love me.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: They do.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even know if they even liked coming
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: on the show, but it turns out they love me.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: We've got a soft spot for you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap?
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: What's on tap?
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: What's on tap?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Master's underway from Augusta. Yeah, they're having it at Augusta
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: this year, Oh are they?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have updates starting at seven twenty every hour
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: throughout the course of our broadcast day. We are two
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: weeks till the NFL Draft, and we're going to go
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: heavy on Draftmas today. As a matter of fact, we're
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: adding one extra bit because I want to give you
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a Draft miss catalog because I'm not going to be
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: here tomorrow, so we'll have the Draftmas catalog. We'll talk
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: about wide receivers today. We're going to have our mockumentarian
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: on today. That will be rht Lewis from NFL dot Com.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: At nine o'clock we'll have stocking stuffers and of course
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: our new feature, Santa's Backsack, which he should probably come
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to me to the hospital and get that checked out.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he probably should.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to do that at eight thirty today talk
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: about running backs and cornerbacks. We'll also hear from Rob rang,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen, and Mike McDonald. Before the show comes to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a close. Ron Francis has stepped down. We certainly have
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to talk about that. We love Ron Francis, you know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and at least our experiences with him around here, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: yet this is the right move. This was the architect
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of what looks to be a mediocre hockey team right now,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and so I don't look at him as the scapegoat
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: or the fall guy or anything like that. I just
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: think they're going to make some really uncomfortable, significant moves
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: this offseason because they're not happy with where the organization
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: is right now. And it probably starts with Ron Francis
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and doesn't end with Ron Francis. But we'll find some
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: time to talk about that later in the show. Kraken
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: can be eliminated from playoff contention. Tonight it'll take on
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Vegas here at home at seven o'clock and in Major
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, we will talk about the Mariners. Mark maclamore
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: is going to join us today at eight o'clock today,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: former Mariner, also Ranger broadcasters, so he'll be able to
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: shed some light on some of this stuff. Plus we'll
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: talk about each heiro as a big night tomorrow night
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: over there at T Mobile. So he'll join us today
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: at eight. But coming up next more on the Mariners.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: It's Mariners Morning After. Chuck and Ashley with you on
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Ah, good morning, Chuck,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Val Ashley Ryan with you here on this lovely Thursday morning.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: We've had great weather here as of late.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's amazing.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: It's been amazing. Just ushering in the Masters, which is
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: taking place as we speak, day number one from Augusta.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: And I see Jose Maria Ola Thable at the top
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of the leaderboard right now. I saw j Ola Thabo
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: this morning about an hour ago, and I thought it
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: was his son. It must be his son. I thought
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: it was a joke. No, I've wrote it down in
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: my diary, laughed, about it later that night. Instead, it's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the Old Man and his cigarettes. Is he still wearing
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the ponytail?
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: I believe so. I haven't seen him on TV this
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: morning though.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't had an access to that just yet,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: but it is underway. Sam Burn's also at two under
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: with the Old Man, and so that's the start to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: your day at Augusta. A lot of the top players
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: have yet to tee off this morning, but we'll keep
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you up to date right here on Chuck and Buck
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: in the mornings, including live update from Augusta twenty after
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the hour, every single hour all day long, as long
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: as we see fit your other headlines on your frost
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: brewed Corslight choose Jill headline portion of the show. The
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mariners lost again yesterday. They can't score runs. They're playing
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: bad baseball there four and nine. They've lost five straight games,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: only three runs scored their entire time in Texas, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they return home for a series with the Houston Astros
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: starting tomorrow night. It will be a four game series,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: it'll be a four game homestand and it's back on
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the road to San Diego. But certainly some things to
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: figure out, especially on the offensive side. Of the ball
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: because the pitching's been outstanding. Was again yesterday with Brian Wu.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Ron Francis stepped down at the Kraken, the guy that
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: was the architect for the start of the Kraken franchise history,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: has since stepped into a different role within the organization
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and now is completely out of the organization. Very likable person,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: a legend in the hockey sport, and I think did
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of good things. But somebody had to lose
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: their job, and I don't think he's going to be
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the only one this offseason. This crack and organization, this
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ownership group, toddli WICKI, they don't sit around and accept mediocrity,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately that's what we've been dealing with now for
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a few years with the Crack, and so Ron Francis
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is out. Meanwhile, the Crack and face elimination from the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: playoff picture tonight at home against the Las Vegas Knights.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: They'll drop the puck there at seven o'clock. So a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: lot going on here today, including a big trade I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: would like to propose for the Mariners to make right
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: now coming up at seven point thirty, but it is
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Draftmas season and we haven't talked to any draft all
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: morning from the actual NFL Draft day, and so here
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck, we invented a holiday a few
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: years ago called Draftmas. It's our countdown to the nil Draft.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: To me, it's like the Christmas. It's the version of
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Christmas that we have in the sports world. So much anticipation,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: so many rumors, so much doubt as to those presents
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that will be lying under the tree for the Seahawks
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in two weeks from now, that we spend a lot
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of time on this, just like we spend a lot
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of time hyping up Christmas before the actual day, going
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to parties, going to festivities, you know, exchanging gifts with friends,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: co workers, all sorts of things. So why not combine
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite things Christmas with another of our
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: favorite things, the NFL Draft.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Happy Draftmas, everyone, Happy Draftmas, and peace be with you
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: during this draft season.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not forget what's important right about the NFL Draft.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, right, the piece and stuff that's right,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: We have one segment that we do. It's to become
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a staple of our Draftmas celebration, and that is the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Draftmas catalog at Thumps at my doorstep every year at
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: about this time, and then I go over a portion
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: of the Draftmas catalog every other day with Ashley and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: typically Bucky here on the radio show. And then they,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: just like some of us did with our moms when
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: we were little kids, they will circle. Yeah, you circle
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: something in the Draftmas and the catalog that you wish
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: for for that particular draft h And I.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Always wanted a washing machine.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is that right?
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: No, not really the series catalog there were so many
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: things to look through before you got.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: To the gifts.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: So thick, that's true. They really were doing a sales job,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: weren't they.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they were.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we have the catalog process and Ashley, at
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the end of a presentation that I'm about to make,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: is going to circle one of the individuals UH in
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: this particular position and doesn't mean that she's going to
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: commit herself to it, but she's putting together her own
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: wish list for this year's NFL draft, where the Seahawks
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: have just four selections right now, the last picks in
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the first, second and third round being the highlight picks,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and so she has seven Schneiderbucks to spend. There is
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a dollar value placed next to each of the receivers
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to highlight, and I can't get to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: them all, so we're just gonna pretty much take an
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: individual from each of the financial brackets and go over
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: them right now. So let's do it. Let's talk about
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the wide receivers available in this draft.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: It starts with Carnell Tate six two one ninety two
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: out of Ohio State, and I realized he had a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: really bad forty time at the combine, one of the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: five worst at his position, a four five three forty,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and that surprised a lot of people. There's also been
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit of controversy about whether or not he
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: really did clock four or five three or not. But
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not really all that worried about it, and it
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like NFL general managers are either. This is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: wide receiver university Ohio State, and if you saw Ohio
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: State play this year, you definitely saw a playmaker in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Carnell Tate. Acrobatic wins at fifty to fifty balls like
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if Jeremiah Smith one at fifty
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to fifty balls like Carnell Tate does. He certainly doesn't
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: look slow on tape and he makes big plays down
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the field. So maybe he is a little bit slow
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: in the forty time, but as long as he's making
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: big plays, what does it matter? A man with Jeremiah
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Smith on the other side of him, Tate played his
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: entire college career is nothing more than a wide receiver two.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: But there are many that believe he has wide receiver
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: one upside now that he'll be out of Jeremiah Smith's
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: big shadow and a wide receiver two floor. I mean,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: if that's his role at the next level, that's still
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: a very productive role, which is why despite his disappointing
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: forty time, Tait is again on the rise up draft boards.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Some are speculating he could be a top five pick
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: before he stops rising. And that's why he's going to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: cost you five schneiderbucks. If you want to go up
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: from thirty two to get a Carnell Tait, then it's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: going to cost you. Of course, this is the Seahawks
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and they really don't need a wide receiver right now,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't really seem to be in the offing. No,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: but you have to highlight the best guy at every group.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Got it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Makay Lemon four Schneiderbucks for Mackay Lemon
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: five eleven and ninety two pound wide receiver out of USC.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: The Trojan is drawing understandable comparisons to Aman Ross Saint Brown.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: He kind of looks like him. He's the same size
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: at him, same school, same skill set. If that's the case,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I take him in the top five. That's how good
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a'man Ross Saint Brown is. Of course, Lemon is a dick,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and so that could stop you from doing it, or
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: at least he's doing his best to come off that
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: way here in the draft process. Lemon made headlines for
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: his horrible interviews during the combine, not just bad, but
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: seemingly deliberately desperately trying to come off cold, short, dissive,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and too cool for the room. Then he doubled down
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: on it. When given a chance to sort of clear
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the air, he said, Nope, that's me. Draft me if
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you wish well, I just got to be me. Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Shaudor Sanders dropped from round one to round five for
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: similar conduct. And I mean, I don't get why he's
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: not being trashed as much. I mean, maybe not as much.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's face at Sanders as a quarterback, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that's face of the franchise stuff, and wide receiver ones
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: have long been successful even if they are divas. If
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that's what he's trying to portray, then I'm just a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just an Antonio Brown diva type. Antonio Brown had
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: great years in the National Football League before his divaness
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: caught up to him, So maybe that's what he's trying
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: to portray. I'm not saying that he should be as
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: questioned as shaudor Sanders, who handled the draft process similarly,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: but he should be knocked for it somewhat as I.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Would think so.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: And it doesn't seem like anyone really has even talked
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: about it. I mean, there was a couple of stories
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: here in there, but then everyone was like, all right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: moving on.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I think maybe they just accept that that comes with
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the territory sometimes with wide receivers. I don't think it's
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: going to urn his draft stock. I think he's going
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to go middle of the first round, and so it's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: for Schneider bucks from where you're at right now at
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: thirty two, which would be three Schneider bucks for that pick,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and so you'd have to give up something in order
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to move up the draft. They're not going to do that.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: It's just enough for him, I hope.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly three Schneider bucks will get you local product
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Denzel Boston six foot four inches tall, two hundred and
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: twelve pounds. Of course, out of U dub Denzel did
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: not show well at the combine, and not just because
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: he didn't run the forty, which raised some red flags.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: He also dropped a lot of passes in the drills
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and seemed a bit disinterested in the process himself. But
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: tape don't lie, and Boston is a big, smooth receiver
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: who produced in college as we all know, and on
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: occasion took over games for the Huskies, especially this past year.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: His height, his length, his leaping ability thirty five inch
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: vert by the way, at six four, well, it makes
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: him a weapon above coverage, which on something that doesn't
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: normally get discussed a lot, Larry Fitzgerald could kill you
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: above coverage because even if you could blanket him, Larry
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Fitzgerald can go above any cornerback or safety and dominate
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: that airspace. That's something that Boston probably has the ability
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to do as well. And it comes in handy in
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the red zone and particularly in the end zone. And
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: so Denzel Boston is being described as a first round pick,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: maybe not a lock for the first round, which is
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: why actually there's a chance that he might slip to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: thirty two. And if the Seahawks were interested in a
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: different type of receiver, a six four two twelve type
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: guy that they really don't have in their room, then
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: maybe you would kick the tires on a Denzel Boston
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: despite the lack of need.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you still you always have.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: They always say you look at the best players available,
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: regardless and then you figure it out, right, Yeah, best.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Player on your board. Yeah, that's the way you operate.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They don't operate like that, but they all say they
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: operate like that.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Say they do.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you another three dollars player.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: K C.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Conceptsi owned six foot, one hundred and ninety six pounds
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: out of Texas A and M. First thing that comes
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to mind for me regarding Conceptsion is his return abilities.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: He was named first team All American his final season
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: as the prestigious list's best all round offensive player that
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: includes receiving abilities and also kicking punt return duties. He
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: averaged eighteen point three yards per punt return, and that's
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: good for kickoff return in the National Football League, but
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: per punt return he was getting almost twenty yards per
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: touch and he had two touchdowns. He's draw in comparisons
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: to Doug Baldwin for his ability to separate in space
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: with quickness, bursts and a stop on a dime skill set.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Of course, Baldwin was an undrafted player out of college
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: where CBS Sports ranks conceptsi own as their number one
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: wide receiver on the boards. So they're big believers. Not
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: as fast as you'd expect given the description I just
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: gave you, But and you can forget about run blocking.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll ever do it, but he
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: sounds to me kind of like a Rashid Shahed type
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and maybe a Rashid Shahed insurance policy if that's something
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that interests you in your draft catalog. Casey Concepcion is
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a very interesting prospect. Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: I remember his interviews and then people were giving him
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: a hard time because he had a stutter, and I
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: loved his response to the people who had had a
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: stutter or who were criticizing them. He was saying, you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: I'm not the only one. So if I can reach
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: other people who have that same problem, Like, let's.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Do this, all right, Casey Concepcio, Yeah, all right. Well,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and I've hinted on this a couple of times,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: but let's get right to it. They are presently invested
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in their wide receiver position more than any team in
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They're probably not in the hunt for a
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: wide receiver at any point in this draft, with JSN
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: locked up up and Shaheed retained, and Cup on a
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: big money deal, and Horton ready for a bigger role,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: and Bobo not allowed to leave Seattle. But if there's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: anything missing from the wide receiver move room, wide receiver room,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: it is size and length. So I give you Chris Brazil,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the second from Tennessee. Six feet four inches tall, one
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight pounds, thirty three inch arms, four
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: point three seven forty. He was one thousand yard receiver
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: his first year at Tennessee. He's a classic two receiver
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: who might or excuse me, Z receiver, not two receiver.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I misread my writing. Classic Z receiver who might struggle
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: with NFL corners putting hands on him at the line
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage. But nonetheless gives you a taller, fast Z
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: receiver type, and if there's any type that we don't
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: have right now on the roster, that might be it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I will also give you another player who's a different
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: body type than what we have presently, and that is
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Chris Bell out of Louisville, Brasil. Will cost you two
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Schneider bucks. Bell will only cost you and a half
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: six foot two to two hundred and twenty two pounds.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Think Deebo Samuel, a big, physical wide target, and keep
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: in mind our offensive coordinator is Brian Florey, who was
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: at San Francisco and was around Deebo Samuel and might
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: won a type that could be effective running that power sweep.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Though burst and quickness aren't exactly the fortes of Chris Bell.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: But get him crossing the field like they used to
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: do with Samuel, and get a little steam behind that
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty two pound frame and he can
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: rack up the rack. That is Chris Bell's game. So
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: he is coming off an ACL tear this year with
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, so teams won't have the luxury of being
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: able to see him play in live game action until
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: he shows up at their doorstep, but at a dollar
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: and a half, which would be your pick at the
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: end of the third round. Maybe you would be interested
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: in Chris Bell out of Louisville. Two more to get to.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Let's zip through them for one Schneiderbuck design stribbling out
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: of Ole Miss. Another big guy six and seven pounds,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Another big guy with speed four point three six forty times.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: He ranks as the seventh best athlete in this group
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: of wide receivers and he can play fifteen starts this
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: season for final four Ole Miss. He's the guy if
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: you remember that three defensive backs from Miami tackled while
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the ball was on the air on the last play
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: of the game and they didn't call pass interference. Yeah,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: he was kind of camped under the ball and they
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: decided not to let him even touch it. He's also
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a guy whose dad is a marine, so you know
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: he's got some work ethic. Mike McDonald likes that sort
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: of thing. He's a good run blocker. Another thing that
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald likes. It's very important to the Seahawks. He
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: does have some separation issues, so that's not good and
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: he needs to show better fight on contested footballs because
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that's going to have to be a role that he's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: going to have to fulfill at the next level. Dejen
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Stribbling should be your early day three selection, so that
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: would cost you one of your Schneider Bucks, Ashley. And finally,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Bryce Lance fifty cents out of North Dakota State sixty three,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: two hundred and four. Another big dude. But this guy
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: can fly four point three forty forty one and a
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: half inch vert eleven one broad jump. Not the quickest
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: cat in the draft, but speed, leaping ability and a
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: nose for the end zone. He had twenty five touchdowns
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: at North Dakota State this past two seasons. And if
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the name sounds familiar, yes, he is Trey Lance's little brother,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Bryce Lance. So there you go. An example from each page,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Circle one for me, Ashley.
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, you know what, just because it's early in this
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: and I can do what I want because the money
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: does can.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Do what I want, I can do what I want.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Denzel Boston because why not. I'm
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: a homer for you, dub.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, why not? Yeah? Hey, hey, mom, I'd really like
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Denzel Boston. I know we probably can't afford him.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but exactly I'm gonna I'm still gonna circle him
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: because he's in my catalog and I and I like
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: the comparisons to Larry.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: It's Gerald being a weapon above coverage.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: So let's do it, all right, Denzel Boston, and I'm
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: going to take another toll one. I'm going to go stribbling.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: If you're going to take somebody, I think it's day
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: three that you would take a wide receiver. I really
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: don't think they're going to take a wide receiver either,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: But Dejean stribbling, I think gives you a different dynamic
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: than what you currently have in your locker room. And
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I love all that marine stuff. All Right, there you
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: go our draft miss catalog. The wide receivers have been discussed.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Let's get an update from AUGUSTA. Good morning to you all. Yeah,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: we got a very busy Thursday show for you. Here.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: It's Chuck poalll Ashley, Ryan Bucky still out. He reported
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: yesterday he's got a few medical things that he is
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: looking into. Doesn't mean he's sick, doesn't mean he's ill,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean any of that. Just had a few appointments
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: that he had to satisfy, and so we needed a
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: little time off, so we took it. And so no
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Bucky Jacobs in here, and I don't know when we'll
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: have him back, but we'll just hope that everything turns
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: out right on that front. Well, we've got the ABC's
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: of the MS, and I am going to use the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: abcs of the MS, or at least the alphabet is
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: forcing me to use the ABC's today to propose an
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: early season trade. And I know what people are thinking,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: say you are panicking. Nope, has nothing to do with panicking.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not panicking. Wasn't at four and six, not at
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: four and nine, not panicking. But this is in more
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: reaction to I don't want Emerson Hancock to leave the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: starting rotation and I don't want Bryce Miller to be
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: left out of this starting rotation. And there might be
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: something here that you could take advantage of that does
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: shore up one of the things about the twenty twenty
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: six Mariners that I have been worried about since spring training.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: And so let's run through it. ABC's. We're at the
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: end of the alphabet here today, we're at the letter
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: X and exes for expectations. The Mariners have expectations to
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: win or at least go to the World Series this year,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and they're not going to let a four and nine
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: start cloud that. For them. This is a very import year.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: They are very excited about the roster that they have
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and they think it has the capability of winning the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: whole damn thing. So nothing's going to get in the
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: way of that. So maybe when you're off to a
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: little bit of a rough start that you could assess
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: your roster and say, hey, I don't have to wait
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: to the trading deadline. I gotta make a deal right now.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Another team that had huge expectations coming into this season
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: is our trade partner, the Chicago Cubs. The Chicago Cubs
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: also have eyes on the Ultimate Prize. I mean, they're
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: not anywhere close to being as favorite as the Dodgers,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: but they are expected to compete for their division and
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: they have ideas visions of knocking off the Dodgers in
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and going to the World Series this year.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: But they're not going to get there with all of
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the injuries to their starting rotation that they have suffered
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: so far this season. Caate Horton is out for the year,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Matt Boyd is going to be on the injury list
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. I read an article
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: just this morning that said that the Cubs are desperate
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: for pitching. Well, we might have excess pitching, so braise yourself,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: anders Hurst and Luke Harkins. I'm doing it again. Oh no,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I'm trading Luis Castillo, Luis Castillo and Victor Roblaze to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs for Ian Hap and Javier Assad Okay.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Ian Happ is a Gold Glove caliber left fielder, so
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: already we're out from underneath Randia Rose arena and the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: circus act that has been his left field. Now we
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: can use a Rose arena more in a d H
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: roll at that point, which is where I think he
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: benefits the team the most. So Ian Happ. He's also
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: a switch hitter, so you don't have to do this
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: platoon thing with Ian Happ. He's also a street kitter.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could pick him up and it could
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: be a month before he gets another hit. But then
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: when he does get hot, he gets incredibly hot. He's
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: just a very good player who makes twenty million dollars
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: a year. The Cubs right now have Saya Suzuki getting
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: ready to come off the il. They've got a young
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: prospect by the name of Matt Shaw who they want
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: in the lineup every day, but they signed Alex Bregman
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: in the offseason and that took his third base job away.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Shaw's athletic enough that they can figure out a way
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: to get him into the outfield, and that might plug
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: that hole for them in left field. And they get
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a Castillo who can be for them a top of
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the rotation guy, which for us, he might be our
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: sixth best starting pitcher. And so to me, you go
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: ahead and you move on from Castillo. You get another good,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: proven everyday player who can play the hell out of
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: left field defense, and you pick up Javier Asad or
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: maybe a Ben Brown. That gives you somebody that can pitch,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: gives you some starting pitching depth. He's not as good
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: as any of our five, but we don't really need
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: him to be. Nobody wants to trade a starting pitcher
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: for the Seattle Mariners because they're worried you don't trade
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: starting pitching. But we've got Ryan Sloan and Kate Anderson
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: both on the com for future years. And we've got
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock, who I don't want to take out of
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the rotation right now the way that he looks, so
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: all I really need is depth in between Cooper Criswell
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and Javier Asade or Ben Brown. If that's the choice,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: then that gives us some starting pitching depth. And I
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: don't mind giving up a Roeblazer, even a Railey in
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: order to make this trade happy happen. Also, Ian Happ
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: makes less money than Castillo, so you're actually going to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: save some money on this deal, which could help you
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: come trade deadline time to actually add in the areas
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: that are needed. Why is for year he only has
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: a year left on his contract, and you're not really
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: looking at Luis Castillo as being a long term piece anyway.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it might benefit you to
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: get out from underneath the two years left on his contract.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think it should get in the way at all.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Ian Happ having one year on the contract. I kind
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: of look at that as possibly a benefit to making
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: this deal because it gets you out from underneath four
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: million dollars this season and gets you out from underneath
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: twenty four million the following season, even if you lose
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Ian Happ to free agency. Plus, we have Las Montes
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: on the come and so we don't want anybody blocking
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: his path to the major leagues anyway. And we also
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: might have to face the fact that Brendan Donovan's not
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: a third baseman and he might be the left fielder
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: next season in exchange for Ian Happ if he does
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: walk via free agency. And so finally, zis for zen Garden.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Here is the Zen Garden I have created for you
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: in making this trade. No increased payroll, in fact, it's decreased.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You free up Handcock to start and not send him
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: to Tacoma, which I think would really deflate the young
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: man right now considering how well he's pitching, and I
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: think that actually doesn't sacrifice Your starting pitching depth rotation
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: will be just as good, maybe even better the way
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Hancock looks right now. And you have Criswell and Assad
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: who could stay on the roster is rale leaf pitchers
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and long relief pitchers and also be your starting pitching
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: dep should you need a six or seventh starter during
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: the course of the season. You've improved your defense, which
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: does look like a weakness on this twenty twenty six
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: roster right now, because you've had a gold Glover to
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: left field. You've eliminated one of those pesky platoons that
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: people hate so much. Now you probably are looking at
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: a Refsnyder canzone right field platoon as you're out from
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: underneath either Rayley or Rodblace. In that situation, you free
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: up money for next season, when Sloan and or Anderson
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: will certainly be ready to join this rotation, and you
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: can spend the savings on something that would be more
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: helpful to the twenty twenty seven roster. And Happ is
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: a good clubhouse guy. Now we know Castillo is a
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: great one and we hate to lose him, but Ian
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Happ is also a very good to great clubhouse guy
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: as well. So to me, this is one of those
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: this makes sense. Let's take advantage of the cubs desperate
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: need for starting pitching. Let's add a more consistent peace
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: to our offense, let's improve our defense, and let's free
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: up Emerson Hancock to prove that what we are seeing
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: is real from him right now, because if it is real,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: we've got five young mid twenties studs to put in
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: our starting rotation.
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I like it for several reasons, including
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: obviously because you don't know what they're going to do
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: with Hancock and going to WinCE Miller's healthy and going
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: to a six man rotation seems like it might create
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: more problems.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Then I don't want to do that, Yeah.
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: Than staying with the five plus anything that's going to
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: improve our defense on the left side, sign me.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Up, no doubt, right, Yeah.
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's just we've had too many issues.
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I and again Brenda Donovan has said, I'm
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: not a I'm not a third baseman. But when you
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: have the problems that he's having, and then you've got
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: the uncertainty of or not great defense of a Rose arena.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just a massive weakness right now.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if you could shore up one for certain yeah,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: and left field and give yourself a switch hitter that
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to come out of the lineup. Yeah, at
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: any time, I think that they should make this move
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: right now, just pull the trigger on it right now.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I think it makes the Mariners better. And it has
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the four and nine start, right.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: It has everything to do with does this move make
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: us better? Do we take advantage of hancocks excellence so
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: far and the cubs desperation to make the team better.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I get that all right. Coming up next, we're gonna
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: have your stocking stuffs for are you Sports Radio ninety
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: three point three kJ RFM. Come about Nina from the
• 49:45

  Speaker 1: Nine nurse, How get your head out of the sand much, Nina.

• 50:10
  Speaker 1: is the eight o'clock hour here on this Thursday, Chuck Powell,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan with you know Bucky Jacobson today and I
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: know he would love to chat with our next guest.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Former Mariner eighteen year major league career, the versatile, the talented,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: the gifted. Mark McLamore joins us right here on Chuck
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: and Buck. Good morning, sir, Hey, good morning guys.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: How you guys doing.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: We're doing all right. Good to have you on the
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: radio program here today. What are you doing today? What'd
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: you get up and do this morning?
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I got up, had my coffee for my life and
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: now I've got grimpapa duty.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, there you got that's my day. I
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: love it. Well. A lot of things to talk to
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: you about here. We'll catch up a little bit, we'll
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: talk about each your roll a little bit. But I
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: just I mean, we've got a situation, as I know
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: you're aware, where the Mariners are off to a four
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: and nine start, just got swept in Texas against the Rangers,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: who you were part of that broadcast team for number
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: of years there, so you know that team, you know
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: that building, and so I don't want to really specific
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: ask you anything specific. I just want you to tap
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: into your eighteen year career as a major leaguer when
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: you were on a team that had high expectations going
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: into the year and you got off to a slow start.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't four and nine, but you got off
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: to a slow start. What goes on? What's the mindset
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: of the team. What's happening in the clubhouse when you
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: have those high expectations and yet you're playing crappy out
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: of the gate. What happens in that situation?
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Number one, don't panic? Yeah, before nine, you just got swept.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: It's not a big deal. It's early in the season.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: You don't want to, you know, dig yourself a huge hole. Obviously,
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: you want to start off four to nine. But you
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: can't panic because things can turn around on a dime.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: You lost three in a row, five in row, actually,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: and you can win five in a row and get
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: things right back on track. So the number one thing is,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: don't panic, don't listen to everything going on outside, to
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: just go out there and play every day and take
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: one game at a time. That old cliche, it's been
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: around forever, but it works.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Do players discuss it though, I mean this early in
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the season. I mean we're sitting here at April ninth.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: The fan base is melting down right now. And do
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the players even acknowledge it on the flight home or
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. I mean, it seems to me
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: way too early for like a closed door meeting. I mean,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: what kind of acknowledgment do you even give four and
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: nine when you're thinking World Series this year?
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: You're not having any discussions. You just know that you're
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: not playing well as a team, and you just go
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: out there and do your individual and hopefully that will
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: come together. But you cannot panic. You can't start calling hey,
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: we need to close the door meeting. We're off to
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: a four and nine start. We've got to turn things around.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: Trust me, every player, coach, manager, everybody in the organization
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: knows they need to start playing better baseball and not
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: dig themselves too big of a hole to try and
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: get out of. So no, there's none of that going on.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: And you know, guys, may somebody may say here and there,
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: hey let's go we're better than this and keep it moving,
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: but they're not calling everybody together and saying, hey, let's
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: have a powwow so we can start playing together. What's
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: just not how it works.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you do when you were in a slump,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: especially an early season slump. I mean, did you burn
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: sage or you know, sacrifice a chicken? I mean, did
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: you do what was Mark Maclamore's secret recipe for getting
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: out of a slump?
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I've had a lot of experience
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: with that, so I had a lot of those. Really,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: just just get back to the basics. Get back to
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: the basics, seaball hit ball and take one back, one
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: pitch at a time, and go from there. Because if
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: you start putting too many things on your plate, saying, oh,
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: we got to win five games. You only play one
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: at the most, you might play two in a day.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: That's hit. So you can't start saying we need to
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: take this series in that series in a month and
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: we get these guys again in three months. You can't
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: do it. It's what you have in front of you
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: right now. Get back to the basics and just get
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: the job done day to day.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Farmer Mariner Mark McLamore is our guest right here on
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the mornings, having them on for
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: a number of reasons today. Part of that is just
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: to say, I to Mark McLamore again, and you've covered
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: the Rangers for a better part of the last decade
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: or so, and so I'm sure you're keeping in touch
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: with the team. Should the Mariners worry about the twenty
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: twenty six Rangers, do you see them as a threat
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: this year in the American League West?
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: My mindset has always been this, any team that we
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: play is a threat because they're all major league teams.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: I know when they came they weren't thinking they were
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: going to be swept by the Rangers. Nobody ever thinks that.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: So everybody's a threat. And I know that sounds simplistic,
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: but that's exactly what you have to be in this game.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: You have to be. There are so many games, the
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: season is long. A lot of things can go wrong,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: but a lot of things can go right as well.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: So everybody they play is a threat. And you know,
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: you look at where the Rangers are sitting right now,
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: it's early, not that big of a deal. You see
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: where the Mariners are sitting, not that big of a deal.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Things can change quickly, and when things do change, it
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: starts with one win. That's it.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask this as an aside. I mean,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: you played in your eighteen year career for all five
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: teams in the American League West at one point, so
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask any tricky questions. I'm going
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: to ask you a fun question. Which uniform do you
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: think look the best? Like that you really rock that uniform?
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: As Mariners, Rangers, Astros, or Angels when you play for them,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: who had the best looking threads that you put on
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: that day?
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: That's easy, Mariners, come.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: On, okay, okay, just playing my audience, of.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Course, I come I've been around for a little while,
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: But I really I really enjoyed our alternate blue jersey,
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Navy blue jersey that one. I really loved that one
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: especially well at holeman on the rope, they just looked
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: I just thought they looked great.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, Mark McLamore, our guests here on checking back. Another
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: one of the main reasons we wanted to have you
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: on is tomorrow each Hero's statue goes up a big
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: event tomorrow night. Obviously you played with him on that
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one team and then two thousand and two,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: two thousand and three as well. So just your reaction
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: to learning that each Hero Suzuki was getting a statue
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: at the ballpark.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: I think it was kind of a no brainer what
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: Eachiro did and his you know, sixteen seventeen year major
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: league career, but I can't even stop there because it
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: goes beyond that, even you know, when he was in Japan.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: This guy was just remarkable. But this is for me,
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: a no brainer. So I know he's excited, the fans
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: are excited. I'm excited. He absolutely one deserves it.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: What was your initial reaction to seeing him in spring
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: training that first year that he came over, and then
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: how are you feeling about each Chiro a month into
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: that year.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna use one word, because it just continually happened
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: from the time he got here until he finished.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just wow. I mean the things that he was
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: able to do day in and day out, the consistency
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: in which he played, and he played every single day,
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: went out there and got the job done. I remember
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: having a conversation with him one time in the batting
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: cage and I asked him, I said, man, what do
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: you think about when you when you come to the
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: ballpark every day? How many hits you thinking about getting.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you what my answer was and
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: what my goal was. Every day. I wanted two hits,
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: two runs, two solen bases every single day. That's what
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: I wanted. His answer was this, every time I come
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: up to the plate, I expect to get a hit.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: I was like, that's why you're going to be a
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, and I'm not just the mentality. Every
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: time he stepped in that batter's box it was a
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: hit for him, and obviously it wasn't. But you see
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: what he was able to do over his career. Fourteen
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: It tooking fourteen years to get the three thousand hits.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: That's incredible. That is incredible. Most players that are in
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: the Hall it took them seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, sometimes even
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: twenty years to get that three thousand. He did it
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: in fourteen's. That's an incredible feat. I think, I think
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: that goes misunderstood if people even don't even realize that
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: that it took fourteen years to do that just incredible.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: I mean two hundred hits a year, I think his
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: first ten or eleven years. Not many people, are players
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: have been able to do that, So just wow every
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: single time.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the phenomenon really took hold across the entire league.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: By the end of April for sure, like what on earth?
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Probably mid April, what on earth has happened? Who is
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: this guy? I mean, everybody knew that the Mariners had
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: signed each year Roe from coast to coast and as
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: baseball fans, but I don't know. There certainly wasn't an
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: expectation that he was going to hit seven thousand in
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: his first month in a major league uniform. I mean
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: did I mean, did were you spending time like was
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: it difficult to keep the secret to not put expectations unnecessarily.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Did you need to see proof of it in major
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: league games? Or were you heading home after spring training
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: practice and telling your wife like, you cannot believe what
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I saw from this each erosuzuki today? What was that like?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't. I was not driving home thinking about
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: that because I know it doesn't matter who it doesn't
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: matter who you are. You still have to play major
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: league games and you have to go out there and
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: prove yourself night in and night out. So one month
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: didn't matter if he hit seven thousand, because things can
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: turn on a nine. There have been players scattered throughout
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: history that you know, one year they're the rookie of
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: the year and two years later they're at home have
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: a job. So for me, you've got to go out
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: there and continually prove yourself. And he did that. That's
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: why for me, every single day was wild. And you know,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: I tell this story all the time because it was.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: It's an absolute true story and mind boggling to me.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: It irritated me after a while. A lot of times
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: I hit behind him, so he'd get a hit somehow
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: he's at first base, I'd walk up to the plate
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: and the catcher and the umpire are asking me how
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: did he do that? And my question to them was,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: I have no idea, because if I knew, I didn't
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: want it too, So stop asking me. This guy was
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: just incredible. Inside pitch, he'll pull it, hit it the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: other way, drive it something outside, down on a way,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: whatever it was on to pitch off to get another
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: pitch that he can do something with. Was just absolutely
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: incredible to watch. And I am so glad and happy
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: and proud to have had a front row seat to that.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Mark maclamore. That team in two thousand and one, I mean,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: it was obviously special, it was historic, obviously very skilled,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: very deep. But I don't think going into that year
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: that anybody had huge expectations for the Mariners, and maybe
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the nation was asleep on just how much talent and
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: skill that you had going into two thousand and one.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: But there had to be some element beyond talent and
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: skill that made that team special that hopefully can be
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: applied to this twenty twenty six team as well. What
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: was it about that team beyond talent and skill that
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: made it so damn good?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I've got to get credit where credit to number one?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Pat Gillick. Pat Gillick was the architect. He put that
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: team together. And you know, going into going into two thousand,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: who's thinking that the managers are going to even make
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: the playoffs when you no longer have Randy Johnson, Ken
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: Griffy Ay Rod was still there in two thousand, but
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: who's thinking that that's going to happen with those big
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: horses playing somewhere else. Nobody's thinking that. And then going
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: into A one A Rod's now gone. No one is
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: thinking And I'm not saying that we were. We wanted
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: to number one, win our division and tryumph and then
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: go on to win the World Series. That's your mindset.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: That's every player and every team and every organization's mindset
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: going into the season. And once we got off to
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: a really good start, we just started. We really believed
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: in ourselves. I mean, we had a really really good
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: mixture of veteran players, middle veterans and young players. Uh.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: Pat Gillick, I think he worked at roster to perfection,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: almost to professions. And so we didn't win the World Series,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: but he put together an outstanding team and then of course,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: uh the headman and the dugout teaching everybody loose. Uh,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: you know, sir, Lou Panella. That guy was just incredible.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: People often ask me, you know, how was it with
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Lou being so fiery and you know, screaming and yelling.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: And I can proudly say that the three and a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: half four years I was there with Lou, he didn't
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: do a lot of that. Yes, we played well.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: So you talk about the talent that was assembled, I
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: think a lot of guys had, you know, really really
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: good years, some guy's career years me myself included. Uh,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: but it's started with with Pat Gillick and Lou Panello.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Mark maclamore, our guests here on the program,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: who do you still keep in touch with from that team?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Do you still have close buddies from that squad?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? Brewery for one, Jay, Tom Lambkin, Uh, the Rhodes,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, the list goes on, Mike Cameron, uh Man, Uh,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: Dan Wilson. I didn't get this. I didn't get down
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: to see him this time when they were in town,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: but I definitely will.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: But there are a number of guys, you know, so
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: it's it's fun, you know, the friendships that we all created. Now,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: obviously I've known boy since God probably the longest of anybody.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: When I first came up from the Angels, I played
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: with with the day Boom so uh seeing him and
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Aaron run around the Clough House every now I'm in
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: uh so. Yeah, there are a lot of guys that
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: I keep in touch, keep in touch with.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: When you guys do get together and you complain about
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: today's players in today's game, do you complain more about
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: the way they approach it, the way they behave, the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: rules to the game, the money they make. What ends
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: up being the conversation.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll throw this one out there to start it off.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: The money situation that's never brought up. Okay, what we
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: really talk about is, Okay, the approach to the game.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: I know, you know they have a lot of meetings.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: We didn't really have a lot of meetings. We just
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: talked amongst ourselves. We learned from each other. We talked
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: to our pictures to figure out what pictures they're thinking.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: We talk to other hitters what they're thinking. I think
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: you're you know. The difference is there's from what I've
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: seen and I did you know I was covering the
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Rangers for nineteen years, watching how the dynamic changed there
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: wasn't a many guys that stayed around, talked about the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: game and really tried to figure it out. Everybody's in
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: front of a screen, you know, iPad or monitor going
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: over every single pitch. Yes, we did that too, but
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: not as much because if you still have to go
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: out there and know what's in that guy's heart and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: know what's in yours. So there are a lot of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: things that a lot of factors that go into this
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: that aren't on paper that you have to take into account.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: So we talk about that, we talk about the rule changes.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of things that we, as you say,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: complain about. I try not to. And you know, my
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: thing with this, with the way the game is now,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: and I figured this out probably seven or eight years ago,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: you can't really be upset with the players and how
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: they played the game because they're doing exactly what we did.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: They're going out there and playing the game the way
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: they were taught. They just happened to be being taught
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: by different players than we were. You know, for instance,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: the majority of my coaches, I will say ninety to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: ninety five percent of my coaches played in the big leagues.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Now I'm not knocking guys that don't and you know,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: didn't play in the big leagues that are now big
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: league coaches. But there's nothing that beats experience. So when
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: I'm hearing, for you know, from a guy that just
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: passed away, which was one of my idols, Dating Lopes
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: or Gary Templeton or you know, Ozzie Smith, when I
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: hear those guys talk and say things to me, I'm
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: listening because they did it. Yeah, they're telling me from
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: experience how to go out here and do it. And
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: our last yeah, it's just a different game now, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: In our last thirty seconds, would you have loved the
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: ABS challenge system?
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: I probably would have gotten thrown I'd to get thrown
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: out more than I did when I was actually playing,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: so I'd probably use up both challenges and wanted that
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: did I'd never play again because it managed to be hot.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: So you know, all right, man, Well, hey, thank you
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: very much for spending some time with us. We appreciate it.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I got another big night to honor his legacy tomorrow night.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: And don't worry. You don't have to bat behind him tomorrow,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about that any longer.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Always great having you on.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: All right, so Gaby, thank you guys.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: All right, Mark maclamore, our guests right here on Chuck
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: and Buck in the mornings again each year. Oad night tonight.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I think they're giving out commemorative trophy or something like that,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: some gold statue, Yeah, some gold statues. So he will
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: have his statue put up tomorrow. Masters. So we're going
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: to get an update to hear in about ninety seconds
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: from AUGUSTA. Do you want to correct something from earlier
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: in the show. Joseah Maria Ola Thoble is not the
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: guy that I was thinking that he was. I'm not
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: a golf historian. I confused him with Miguel on Hell
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: and Menez and not the person the name. So Jose
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Maria Ola thabol has been around a long time, and
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I'm still surprised that he's atop the leaderboard day one
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: of the Masters. But I was referencing a different person
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: back in the six o'clock.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 6: Ye with the ponytail, yeah, and the cigarettes and the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: fun stretches and you know, yeah, all of that stuff.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 6: Well, and when he said I was like, oh yeah,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: But then I couldn't picture what Olethabel looked like, so
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: I can.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Picture him now now that you now that A yeah,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: texture pointed it out to him. Oh, of course, now
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: I can picture him. But at the time this morning
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I got the too confused.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: I totally understand it'll happened. That's with three names.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Right right, Well, anyway, so we got that cleared up.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 6: I don't think that Miguel on Hell him Andez is
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 6: in the Masters.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think he is.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 6: It would be great if he was, because I would
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 6: make sure that they were showing him when he warms up.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: His stretches are something.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Well, let's go to the experts. Then we head live
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: to Augusta, Georgia, Day one of the Masters. Here is
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: a live update for you. We're checking back in the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: morning Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ A r
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: f M, and yes, it is time for our Friday guest.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, our Thursday guest. We are always checking in
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: with a different mockumentarian. Yes, somebody who has recently put
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: together a mock draft and has things like the NFL
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: Network and NFL dot Com to back them up and
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: support their exercise. And so yeah, here we are. I
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: trust that Rhett lewis from NFL Network is sipping on
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: a mocktail as it gets ready to join us, probably
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: wearing his mock turtleneck.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: They call him the Mocky Balboa of the NFL Network
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: and whenever given a chance, dude rocks out with his mockout.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: It's Rhett Lewis from NFL Network who joins us right
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: here on Chuck and Buck. How are you, rhet?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: I appreciate that introduction.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: I would appreciate even more if it was actually Friday.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: But Thursday is great because we are exactly two weeks.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: From Draft day. My friend and fired up to get there.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: But as you mentioned, you know, until we get there,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: it is mock draft season.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Mock draft season. Of course. Rhett hosts Path to the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Draft Monday through Friday, three pm Pacific time on NFL Network,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: which is much viewing, must must watch viewing at this
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: time of the year, so that you put together a
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: mock I mean, here, you got all this hosting talent
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: and all these experts around you, and they said, Rhett,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: put out your own vote. How about that? Yeah?
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I've got to set I've got to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: set the record straight.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: I mean there's you know, I've never gone I've.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Never gone through the NCAA tournament filling out.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: My bracket perfectly.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: But you know, I feel like this mock draft could
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: go thirty two for thirty two.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: You're gonna nail it. I can feel it in my bones,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: and so I take it no surprise for you at
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: the top. I mean, is this Fernando Mendoza ninety nine
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: percent thing done? Ninety nine point five one hundred percent.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it a lock that he has a
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raider in two weeks?
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm you know, unless, of course, you know, something
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: absolutely crazy happens in the in the runout, But I
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: don't see it happening. And I do believe that Briana
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: Mendoza is the new franchise quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: and I think he's gonna be a great one loser.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: He brought us a national title and I am eternally
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: grateful to that. And by that stretch, I'll have a
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: little silver and black coursing through my veins.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: On April twenty third as.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: Well, boy, all of you Indiana hoo's, your fans true
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: have come out of the woodwork here in the last
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: few months.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: It's nice.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: Settle it down. Settle it down. We've always been there.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: We've always been there.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: You guys have been paying attention.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Ret Lewis from NFL Network with us here to talk
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: some mock drafts as we get ready for the draft.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: So where's your big, first big surprise in your estimation?
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: Where do you think that you're making a splash that
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: stands out differently from others who've been mocking.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Philadelphia Eagle fans would would argue that
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: it's with their choice, except if you like, if you're
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: the only person to read the little caption beneath each pick,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: you're probably the first person to do that, because most
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: people just kind.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: Of cruise through and see what who's going where.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 7: But there is a bit of an explanation as to
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: why I put Ty Simpson in.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: The Philadelphia Eagles at twenty three.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: It's like what it felt like a placeholder, and I
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: do feel like it is a spot where a team,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: you know, could say, hey, let me let me jump
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: in here and take Tye and maybe coming in for
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: a second bite at the apple in the first round,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: kind of the way the Giants did with Jackson Darty
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: year ago. I feel like that could be something that
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: happens there, and it just so happened to come off
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: the heels of all the conversation about Jalen Hurts. So
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe maybe where there's smoke, there's a little fire,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: But to me, it was more of a placeholder. Let's
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: find a spot where where Ty could legitimately end up landing.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: I do doubt it's with the Eagle, but I think
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: they could entertain the trade there.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Well, my wish for Ty Simpson is to fall to
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: thirty two because that's where the Seahawks sit, and I
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: want to see teams trade up and offer us a
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: little extra draft compensation and a trade so that they
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: can get a quarterback on a first round, first round
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: contract and have his rights for five years. So that's
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: my secret little wish for round one of the draft.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: What is your expectation for the Seahawks at thirty two?
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: I see who you have drafting, who you have them drafting,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: So tell me why you feel Cassius Howl of Texas
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: A and M is a fit.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: Feel like it's a bit of a luxury spot here
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: for the Seahawks. You know as the Super Bowl champions.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I know Kenneth Walker left in free agency
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: to go to the Chiefs, but you know, Zach Sharpenay
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: coming off the injury. You know, I don't know that
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a running back there. But like
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: outside of the running back spotted type, this roster's in.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: Pretty dang good shape.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 7: So I think you've got an option, you know, to
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: Truly, as we say, take the best player available. Cash
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: his howl to the edge rush mixed certainly works. There
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: are some outliers there with his profile, having the shorter arms,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: you know, allow Ruben Baines of thirty one inch arms,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: But I feel like when you're picking at thirty two,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: you can afford, and you're the Super.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: Bowl chance, you can afford, you can afford to take
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: a risk.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: On somebody that whose traits or frame may not meet
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: the norm.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: And I feel like the.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Production stands out with Cash is Howling knows how to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: get to the quarterback, and he's got great bend and
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: burst there around the edge, So I think he could
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: be a nice piece of that rotation there and continue
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: to fortify, you know, an area of strength right there
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: with Mike McDonald's defense.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: Rtt Lewis NFL Network host Path to the Draft, host
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: the Monday through Friday, three pm Pacific time on NFL Network.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: Our guest, he's got a mock draft out. You got
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: to check that out when you get an opportunity, and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: he does have cash his howl going the Seahawks at
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: number thirty two. Jeremiah Love seems to be a very interesting,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: much discussed piece, somebody that's going to go high in
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: the draft. How high do you think the Notre Dame
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: running back goes.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: I think it.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: Really starts at number three with the Arizona Cardinals, and
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: you know, that does feel like the real possibility there,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: you know, given their new head coach, Michaelaflores, you know history,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: his background having been you know, with the forty nine ers,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: and you know, seeing the emphasis in the run game there.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Obviously having been a part of a really good run
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: game with Seawan m Fay and the Rams as the
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: offense coordinator for the last three years and really game
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: planning some of that physical run game as the Rams
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: kind of pivoted from a lot of that zone scheme
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: run to some more of that physical duo scheme run
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: and I feel like a guy like Jeremiah Love, you know,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: could give him some real options there after they signed
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Tyler al Jeer in free agency and be a nice
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: one two punch there. So I think it starts with
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals at three. Well, I feel like the Titans.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: I know there's been a lot of talk about them
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: not being in the Jeremi I love sweepstakes there for
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: but man, that makes it a lot of sense to me. Gosh,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: I think the floor to me is the Washington commanders
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: at number seven, who I think would be pretty glad
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: to scoop him up there if he's available.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: What is the juiciest rumor that you got going on
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: at Path to the Draft from all the insiders that
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: weigh in And I'm not telling you to reveal something
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: you've yet to reveal. Yeah, we can save that for
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: your actual television show. But here as of late, what's
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: the hot topic right now on the set?
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, we're talking a lot about the edge
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: rushers and you know, starting right there at number two
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: with the New York Jets, is.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 7: It is it now a little bit more into the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 7: David Bailey lean for.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: The Jets and the Arbell recently, I think you've got
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: a more polished guy there with Bailey, which might fit
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: for a defensive head coach.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: And Aaron Glenn and you know.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Could very well be coaching for his job this year,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: which is obviously strange to say given this year two,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: but that's something's going the league. And then with you know,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: with Rees, it it may be a bit more of
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: a projection, but there's immense potential. Ceiling might be higher,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: but you've got to really, you know, do some development
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: there if you want to use him as a full
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: time pass rusher where he only played you know, about
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: three hundred snaps in his collegiate career down there. So
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: I think Bailey surpassing Rees is the number two pick
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: has been something that's been gaining a lot of steam.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Who ISRHT Lewis's favorite player? I asked this of all
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: of our guests, your favorite player and not the best player,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: but the one that you're like, I'm going to stand
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: by this guy, even if Daniel Jeremiah says I'm crazy.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: You know what he can you know he can move
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: his sticks somewhere else. I will stand by this player.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I there's you know, can I can I
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: name nine Indiana Hoosiers that I think you're gonna get drafted.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 7: Uh here, yeah, yeah, how much time do we have?
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, one of my favorite players in
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: this draft is Aidan Fisher. He is a linebacker from
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: the national champion Hoosiers and uh, he is a player
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: that is a literal cpu on the defensive side of
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: He will bark.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Out, you know, expectations for what the offense is going
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: to do, literally as the quarterback is barking out the signals.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: And the and the cadence, and he is. He has great.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Anticipation and understanding of the game is measurables.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: His testing numbers, you know, aren't that of Sonny.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: Styles is going to go in the top five of
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: the draft, but his instincts are off the charts.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: And I think if he's if you let him into
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: that building, you're not going to get him out. He's
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: going to play on teams and he's eventually going to
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: work his way into a spot where he's contributing on defense.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: I think he's an excellent leader and a foundational piece
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: of a defense.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: So that's my as we call him a red star guy.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: Man. I think Gaiden.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: Fisher is an absolute stud.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: All right, he's getting the red dot on his helmet.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: Rhet Lewis's with us. Yeah, NFL Network host, host of
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: Path to the Draft in today's mockumentarian right here on
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the morning. Oh yeah. Some people
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: call him mocked or feel good because he's gonna mock
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: it all right, yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 7: Oh my god, more.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: He wants more, more material. Well, I'm watching the Masters
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: right now. Maybe you're Rory Mocklroy. I don't know, my god,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a champion then, yeah, you're a champion, absolute champion.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: Well let's close you with this. Let's have some fun
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: with this, all right. I'm gonna make you uncomfortable here.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: You got to do ad. You got to do a
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: mock draft your host at the NFL Network and of
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: all of that talent there at the at the NFL Network.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's an insider, a draft expert,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: or just a former player or another host. I don't care.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: You got to put together a mock draft of who
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: you want to do a show with. Who's your number
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: one pick?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a really good one.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think despite the fact that my
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: mock drafts are historically more accurate than his NFL draft.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: Our lead draft Antelyst Daniel Jeremiah would end up as
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: my number one overall pick.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, he does.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: He does happen to be a close friend. I do
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: love spending time with him. He's an absolute stud. Very
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: few work harder or as hard as he does. I'm
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: not sure anyone works harder and and really loves this
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: stuff and perfects his craft. He would be number one,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: And then I have to go at number two.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 4: My birthday.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Buddy, we are both we were both born on March
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: twenty third, and that's about where the comparison's in because
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: he was a NFL rushing champ at one point during
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: his career and just a great dude. I absolutely love
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: spending time with Maurice Jones Drew. So if there was
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: a free person team, those would be.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: The three nice I don't know if I've ever heard
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: anybody just have more definitive opinions than m JB. Come on,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: yeah he will, just like This's how I feel.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: This is what man?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: All right, well, hey man, thank you very much for
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: joining us. We greatly appreciated good stuff, good insight, we'll
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: be watching and hopefully we can do this again another time.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: Mack.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Ret lewis joining us right here
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: on Chuck and Buck in the morning from a NFL
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Network path of the draft Monday through Friday, three o'clock
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Pacific time. And yes, he's usually like the host. You know,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: he was probably hired for his hair and his jawline
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: and his diction. And yet he's been there now long
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: enough that he's making mock drafts over there path of
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: the draft host for yeah, soaking up all that information.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I love draft. I got an opinion.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: I'm smart. I'm smart. Yeah. Yeah, And so he mocked
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: something up for us, and it was good to have
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: him on for the very first time. And he does
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: have the Seahawks taken cash as howl. I could see
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: that happening. I mean, look, I don't think that John
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Schneider's as much. I don't think any of the general
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: managers are as much of the uh, you know, the
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the best guy on my board. I love
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: that John doesn't really act that way. It's pretty much. Yeah,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: he will acknowledge like, yeah, it's it's it's need versus desire. Yeah,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the combination of the two. It's where
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: that meets on your board. I'm not sure I have
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Casius Howl on my list, but if that was announced,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: then you know you're getting a speed defensive end who
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: was very productive in college. And I do know that
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are going to be looking for an edge
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: rusher in this draft. I mean, they all have four
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: picks right now. My guess is they end up with
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: somewhere around maybe even seven before it's all said and done.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: They're probably going to stay in the first five rounds,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: would be my guess, but just try to accumulate a
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: couple more in the middle rounds. They're going to come
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: away with a fifth rounder at some point in the
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: process because it's almost like a good luck charm. So
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: I think that they will end up with a couple
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: more picks. I don't think they'll end up picking at
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: number thirty two, but I can almost guarantee you they're
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: coming away with a running back, a defensive back, probably
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: have versatile one like we discussed with Santa's backsack, and
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: they'll probably going to come away with an addresser. Those
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: about the three things that I can promise you that
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: John Schneider and Mike McDonald are going to pull off
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: on draft days. So I don't know if Cash is
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Howel's the name, certainly the value and the production at
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: the college level out of Texas, A and M and
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like him, but I
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: do wonder if he is the you know, the run
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: stuffer type that Mike McDonald's gonna want to see with
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: a first round traffick at number thirty too. But I
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: could definitely see an ed Rusher being taken first.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I could as well, and I especially, I mean, yeah,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 6: Mike loves is his defenders, and I think he knows
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 6: exactly what he wants, and I think him and John
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: have had a lot of conversations about that.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: You think you think they've had a lot of conversation
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: He's like, I like this guy, and then John will
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: be like, what about this running back?
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 5: Well, I like this ed Rusher and then this one.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they'll maybe they'll just save
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: it and maybe they're better at just winging it. Maybe
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: just do a cramming session the night before. I mean,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: let's just get together and just pull an all nighter
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: and then we'll just talk draft on.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: What if they just sit there are the two of them,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 6: make their own notes, and then they come together and
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 6: they're like, so what.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 5: Do you have?
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe they will Maybe they'll do that draft morning. Anyway,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: let's take a look at your master's leaderboard. Not to
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: give too much away because you're two minutes away from
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: an update, but Patrick Reid is having a pretty good day.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: Brady Cannon kind of warned us yesterday he's five under
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: three eight and already has a two stroke lead at
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: the mastas as it has gotten under way today, day
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: number one of that tournament. Uh, and we will be
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: monitoring for it. Did you ever decide on who you
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: think is going to win the thing? You said you
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: need to the last moment, Well, the games are already underwent.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: I know I didn't feel good about my pick.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: I went with d Chambeau because it's smart to use
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 6: a live guy in a major, because that's the only
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: time you can use them to waste a PGA tour guy.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: What is the story about him making a club out
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: of Yeah, three D.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: Three D printed his own I think five iron.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Get that, I get that that is possible in today's world.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: But is it legal or are they allowing him to
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: use it.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: Used it earlier?
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah, so you just have to weigh
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: it and they just have.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: To approve it, I would assume, so long as I
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 6: have the right length measurements.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as long as it's got the measurements, then it's
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: anything's in play.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 5: That's that's what it seems like.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: I never have even thought of a player doing that,
• 1:27:00
