  Speaker 1: of Husky Camp coverage, forty eight hours of just breaking down,

  Speaker 1: for their twenty twenty sixth season. And we sit at
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the fifty yard line of the greatest setting in college
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: football for our second morning in a row and kind
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of the same drill here today where we're gonna talk
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Husky football purely from eight to ten o'clock here on
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the show. We do have a special guest host, which
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you about here in a moment. And so
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we have to squeeze everything else going on in the crazy,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: wacky sports world between now and eight o'clock. And when
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I say we, I mean myself and anders Hurst filling
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in for Ashley Ryan, who right now is undoubtedly having
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: eight and eating an entire bowl of pineapple and poy
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: as she sits in Hawaii on her ten day vacation,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: leaving anders Hurst and I to fill in all the gaps.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And how you doing this morning?
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I'm doing okay. You described what me and Ashley
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: are both doing right now.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know, Oh you're doing the same thing. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on the beach. Where do you get poi? How do
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you you get POI? Down there at the old Whole Foods?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: How do you get POI these days?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I mean it's I don't even know. I just have
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: it delivered to me. It's my uh, it's my necessary
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: morning routine, you know. And I when I wake up,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: you know, four four thirty ish, and and then I
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: get to work, and you know, I gotta have the POI.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: But the main thing is the pineapple. That's where it
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: comes in. I need the pineapple so it's an underrated
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: fruit in my opinion.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Poll lines are open, best place to get POI in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest area. Really love to hear from you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Is it still poise are us? Is that what it is?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Is it? Uh? Is it poio poi? Uh? You know
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: down you know by you know by Queen Anne? Yeah?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Is that your Is that your favorite spot for POI
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: these days? Yeah? Well, the you know poison girls, that's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a good one. That one's in Kirkland, so yes.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Or is it poison Dart?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Well? Anyway, it's great to have you with us, whether
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you're feasting on POI or not. Anders and I are
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: feasting on the sports world. We got a lot to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: discuss here today. There's always something to discuss. I have
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a favorite topic that I'm going to get into a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: little bit later on at seven point thirty, but mostly
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: college football from eight to ten, and then we'll squeeze
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in some Seahawks talk and some Mariners talk as well.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. That's where we will start
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: here today. And and there's no taming this, Anders And
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that's this is this is the crazy part about baseball
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: is that I know a lot of people roll their
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: eyes at the idea, the notion, the phrase, well that's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: just baseball. They roll their eyes at it. But the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: fact of the matter is that it's true. I mean,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it's the only sport on Earth where Aaron Judge could
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: hit one thirty in an entire month and then win
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the MVP with sixty home runs. Right. Hey, there's not
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a part in the in the NBA season where you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Victor wembin Yama is going to have an entire month
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: averaging three point seven points per game.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's not gonna not gonna happen.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. There's there's not another sport where
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a guy can i mean be an MVP candidate with
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: sixty home runs the previous year and then this year
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is hitting one fifty eight. Yeah. Hey, you know you're
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: not going to see that in the National Football League.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, let's just say, we don't want to think
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about it. If he took a drop off this year,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: if he took a step or two back, he's not
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: going to have three touchdowns in twenty interceptions, right, And
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: yet that's kind of season that Col's having, frankly, right,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And so there is truth to the you know, that's baseball.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I mean sometimes it is just inexplainable, It just is.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, Vladimir Guerrero has seven home runs this year.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Anders seven, Yeah, and he's not been unhealthy. He's been
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: part of the Blue Jays this entire year. Do you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: know how many home runs he's hit at home?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And he guess less than five?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Zero zero?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: We are yeah, where are We're August twentieth and one
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of the great power hitters of the modern era has
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: not hit a home run at home this year.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: That's insane, right, Yeah, that's probably explains a lot of
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Toronto's struggles as well.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, of course, and there have been other things
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to that. And by the way, they're just they're having
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: as frustrating a season in Toronto as we are. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they lost the World Series by a cleat, like a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: single cleat. Literally, they lost the World Series by a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: year ago. And they're sitting there right there with the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Mariners in the muck right now, trying to make sense
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of how did this happen? And yet we're not out
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of it. They even did a little buy sell at
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the trading deadwild line, which typically I hate and yet
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: for them made perfect sense. Let's get rid of Gozman,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Let's bring over Soriano. We might have upgraded our starting
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: pitching spot, and he's here next year, where Gozman isn't right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And Gosman just left the field with an injury last
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: night with the Chicago Cubs. So it looks like a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: masterstroke by Blue Jay's front office. So the point is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that it is a crazy sport. And so I mean,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: look soft. He was down here yesterday, so he was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: already charged. I know what he said on his show yesterday,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: but he was already charged. He was charged the night before.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I just didn't react the same way to what a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people have, a lot of fans. I can't
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: get there with you. I mean, I've certainly, you know, Andrews,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I've had my moments this year where I've howled at
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the moon right and I've raged, and there are certain
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: things about this team. I mean, I like to be right,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you know that bottom line. This is sports talk show, hos.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I like to be right. I like to tell you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: what you can expect going into a season. I know
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm right about this team's talent, but I certainly have
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: not been right about the results that we've had this year,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and yet I can't get that. I can't get to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that point on that daily roller coaster that so many
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: people ride about when the Mariners lose, that it's the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: end of the world, or when the Mariners lose badly,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: everybody needs to be fired. I'm just not. I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I've called for the manager's job. I think I've been
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: louder than anybody else in this entire city with a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: platform about that. And yet I just don't look at
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: twenty two to nothing as any thing more than an
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: embarrassing loss. And it was. It was embarrassing, but that's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: where it ends. I mean, it doesn't go further than that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to not play Julio Rodriguez the next
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: day because he forgot how many outs were when it
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was nineteen to nothing and Leo Revos is throwing softball
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: pitches to the Milwaukee Brewers in the ninth inning. I'm
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: not going. I just don't react that way. You reacted
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: however you want, and when I say you, you anders,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you the listener, you the co worker. I just I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: don't think that the twenty two to nothing was was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: anywhere close to being difficult to come back from last night,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: as Friday night's loss was, were for the most part,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you outplayed the Astros, and yet because of baseball, Andres
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Munos really didn't do anything wrong until he gave up
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the home run to Christian Walker that night. I mean,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he pitched well when they just yeah, they just found
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: holes and that, and again that's baseball. But that was
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a lot harder to come back from by for the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Mariners than what Tuesday night was. And yet they came
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: back from it. They bounced back from it, and they
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: won the next two games. And yes, there's no doubt
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Tuesday was embarrassing. Twenty two to nothing. You're making all
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the headlines. You've set a record for largest shutout deficit
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in the history of the damn sport. That's embarrassing. But
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that that was impossible to come back from.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't gonna bench half the roster and fire
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: half the front office because you lost twenty two to nothing. Yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it was a blowout loss, but it wasn't nearly as
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: embarrassing as what people looking at the final score when
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it indicate they went with a relief, they went with
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a shortstop to pitch the ninth inning and told them,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: don't throw the ball hard, just lob it up there.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: If we lose by one hundred, so be it. We
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: don't want you to get injured. And that's what made
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it ultimately humiliating the final score. But otherwise it was
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just your run of the mill. Things bounced one way
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: not the other. You didn't have good approaches early, Bryce
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Miller didn't have his a game. One thing led to another,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and you really lost thirteen to nothing. So I just
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: didn't have that over dramatic like chop off heads reaction
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to twenty two to nothing. And I think last night
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Andrews you saw that they didn't either, that they just knew,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: oh right, well, it's just one loss, and we'll be
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: back at the Ballyard tomorrow and let's see if we
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: can't win tomorrow's game. And now, just like that, bang,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you're evened up, and you got a chance to win
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a series against the team with the best record in
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the entire sport here today, and you will have a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: definitive pitching matchup against Robert Gasser and the Brewers today,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: So there's a very good chance you end up winning
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: this series. Man.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that would be, you know, the perfect
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: culmination of everything after what happened on Tuesday. But you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I've been as frustrated with the lack of gaining momentum
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: when you have these really big moments. Sure so, like
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: in the first game of the series against the Dodgers,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: right when they when they outslug the Mighty Dodgers, or
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you know, when they have the fight or not the fight,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: the kind of the clearing discussion exactly right, that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Bench declaring discussion. That's a good way to put it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Where it seems like, Okay, now these guys are ready
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: to go, and they don't, and they don't, and they
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: come out and lay an egg the next couple of
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: days and all. That's very frustrating to me. But you
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: can also look at it on the other side of things,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: where when they have a devastating moment like Friday against Houston,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: like Tuesday against Milwaukee, the next day, more often than not,
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: they actually come back and play a decent game of baseball,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: or a decent stretch of baseball, I should say so,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: And that goes into what you're saying about that's just baseball, right,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: It's that there's a reason it's one hundred and sixty
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: game season. There's a reason you play every single day.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: And I know it's frustrating for fans to continue to
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: hear that and to see these players and Julio's comments
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: saying that could happen to anyone, and him trying not
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: to get too caught up in it when in that
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: moment and people are pissed, and I understand that, but
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the players can't think that way. They absolutely can't. They
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: need to get ready to play baseball the next day.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: And it's it's just a different mentality than everyone else has,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: because I could tell you it's not just Softy and everyone.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Else that was, you know, ticked off.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: I got text from people who never say anything about baseball.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: It's like, oh, this team ticks me off more than anything. Man,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: I'm just like, geez you guys, like this is why
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: it's such a long season. Which again, I was as
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: frustrated as anyone after the game, and for me, it
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: was more a culmination of things than that specific game
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: being so bad. Right, So that's why I get so
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: frustrated in those moments.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and I'm not trying to slant it any
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: other way. This has been a highly frustrating season, all
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the frustrating seasons that they've had in the Depoto era,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: this has to take the cake there, you know. So
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on that front. And yeah, we react
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to that game, surely's gonna boost them, right, and then
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. And then that games surely going to devastate right, right,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and then it doesn't. And the only thing I can
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: tell you is this team is grossly underachieved. You have
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: every right to be frustrated. But if you're gonna, if
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to react, overreact to every loss and every
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: victory and every moment that looks like a turning point,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it's probably not one, right, And that is baseball, And
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. Two plus two doesn't always equal four in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this sport. It doesn't even equal five. Then sometimes it's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: not even close, sometimes not even like seven and a half.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Sometimes two plus two equals n it, you know, two
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: plus two equals bicycle like Sometimes it just does not
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: make sense. And yet I'm telling you, like we as
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: analysts as a whole, as a family of analysts and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: talk show hosts, it's kind of our job to react.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And sometimes people overreact, and that's fine. You be you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily criticizing it. A fan certainly is going
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to sit at home and overreact and want to throw
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the remote through the television screen. Do you know who doesn't?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Usually the athletes, and particularly baseball players because of the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two game schedule. I mean, there's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that famous scene and not famous scene, but there's a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: scene in Fever Pitch, that terrible baseball movie with Jimmy Fallon,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: where they're devastated that they lost, and then they go
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: into like an Applebee's and there's Jason Veritek and everybody,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: all the players laughing and having wings. That's kind of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the mentality. Yeah, And I know you don't want to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: think of it that way, that you the fan take
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it more seriously than a player, And I don't think
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that's necessarily the case. But you did see last night
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that all right, Yes, that was embarrassing. We didn't even
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: want to be on the field at the end of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the game. Can't believe that that game got away from
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: us to that degree. It sucks till here on Sports
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Center or read in the local newspaper that we set
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a record all of that stuff. But the baseball player's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: mind just switches, and it's a strange thing. And it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: only because of that daily repetition that you know you've
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: got to go back to work the very next day.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And that's what they did. And frankly, they didn't play
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: nine innings last night either. No, you score seven runs
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in the first two innings, and this does highlight the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: team's lack of focus all year long, which I think
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: is what led to the three nothing deficit on Tuesday night.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: That's why I said yesterday, I was much more bothered
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: by what happened leading up to three to nothing than
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I was with what happened after thirteen to nothing. Yeah,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and that is that this team has shown a penchant
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: for not being able to focus for nine innings at
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a time. And I do blame Dan Wilson for that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to some degree, not entirely. I mean, the players have
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to be grown ups out there, but he's also in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: charge of the collective, and sometimes the collective, more often
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: than not, is not focused on the task at hand.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And even in a win last night, you could have
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: accused them of that. I mean, they were up seven
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to nothing and didn't score another run, and slowly the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Brewers are climbing back in because guess what, their focus
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: never wavered. They stayed in the game and damn near
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: gave themselves a chance where they did give themselves a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: chance to win the game last night. I think once
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: again the Mariners lack of focus showed up last night
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and a seven to five win, just as it did
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to give the Brewers a three to nothing lead the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: night before that avalanched into a twenty two nothing loss.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So I think the same criticisms against this team that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: are absolutely legitimate now that we have a large sample size,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: could have been levied against them last night in a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: victory Anders.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: And this is it's just like I keep going back
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: to the phrase that you mentioned the top of the show.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's like, that's just baseball, right.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: And there's this saying, especially with what's going on this
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: year with the Mariners, where people are trying to i
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: think wishful think them into being a different team than
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: they have been for the entirety of this season, right,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: And they're hoping that a moment will spark that into
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: becoming the case, whether good or bad, right, that they'll
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: either you know, break out of it and become the
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: team that we saw go to Game seven at the
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: ALCS last year, or they will crash and burn down
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: into something else and everyone will get fired. Right, those
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: are the two extremes that I think every.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Fan wants on one way or the other.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: So that's why when they do this little you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: jump rope where they go back and forth and back
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: and forth and never really get out of you know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: close to five hundred baseball. I know they've seven games
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: under right now, so it's a little bit worse. But
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: man that I think that's where a lot of the
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: frustration comes from within the fame for sure.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And I understand that one thousand percent. It's been a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: frustrating season. And for the most part they have I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: mean not for the most part, they have failed this year.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: They failed. Yes, to this point in the season, it
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: is a complete failure. You can't go to spring training
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and to a man, everybody's saying it's World Series or bust,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and then end up on August what twentieth seven games
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: under five hundred. That's a failure. Now they still have
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: time to save it, and I frankly believe just get
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: into the dance. Get into the dance, and a lot's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: going to be forgiven, and we'll see what happens from there.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And they definitely have the talent to go on a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: run the run we've been waiting for for four and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a half months to push themselves into the playoffs thanks
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: to the Americans cooperation here in twenty twenty six. So
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not forgiving the Mariners season to the phrase that's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: just basebrights. No no, no, no, no no. They have
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: done that on their own, and they have been masterful
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and failing this year as a baseball team to this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: point in the year. I'm just talking about the day
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to day, all right, They're going, oh, they're done, they suck. Oh,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you know, they are pretty good like that kind of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: day to day overreaction to me can be chalked up
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to that's just baseball. And I promise you they didn't overreact.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: There was no thought of benching Julio or folding the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: tent or not going back out on the field last night.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: They they just put their socks on, put their dress
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: socks on, went home, got a good night's sleep, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: came back and treated that as that's just a loss.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: We came back from the Houston loss, right, you can
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: come back from the Milwaukee loss, and now they got
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a chance to win the series. So so yeah, just
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to just to differentiate, you are certainly, we are all
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: highly they're highly frustrated with the failed season to this
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: point in the year. But it's just it's amazing how
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that mind works, that baseball mind, how it's tuned to work,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that twenty two to nothing does not devastate them the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: way that it does a fan base. All right, let's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: find out what's on tap for the rest of the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: show man.

• 20:50
  Speaker 1: M seven Brewers five. We'll have details for you in
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Mariners Morning After at six point thirty. At one o'clock today,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the Mariners do have a chance to win the series
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: against the team of the best record in baseball. They'll
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: be in Milwaukee. Of course, they'll face their five starter,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: a guy that's barely hung on to the starting rotation
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: all season long. His name is Robert Gasser. He is
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: left handed. But we should have the pitching matchup today
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to try to win this series. George Kirby goes for
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the MS.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Oh so that means he's standous if he's left handed, Yes, yeah, exactly.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, the Houston Astros did win last night, so you
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: didn't lose any ground to the Astros losing twenty two
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to nothing, and you didn't gain any ground on the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Astros winning the next day seven to five. So the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: deficit still remains at four under and you're two and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a half. You did gain half a game in the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: wildcard last year, so two and a half back in
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the wild card. Seahawks training camp continues. It is Nashville Week,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and so Greg Bell will be joining us, I do
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: believe today at seven oh five. I don't know if
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: we're catching him before he leaves for Nashville or what,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: but he'll be with us today at seven oh five.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: NFL preseason Week number two gets started tonight. You're gonna
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: have the Raiders and the Texans, and then you're gonna
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: have the banged up forty nine Ers and the Chargers.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Husky Camp, of course, continues. We're out here at Husky
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Camp for a second day. Mario Bailey will be our
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: special guest host today from eight to ten. So we
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: had Greg Lewis yesterday and we have the other Honk today,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the other player Honk that is Mario Bailey joining us
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: from eight to ten. Jed Fish is gonna join us today.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Demon Williams Junior is gonna join us today. So we're
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: excited about the day two's coverage of Husky Camp right
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: here in the mornings on KJR. The mock game for
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the Huskies is this Saturday at six point thirty fan
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Fest at four twenty. And the Sounders made it eight
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: losses in a row in the MLS last night. This
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: is just territory. Brian Schmitzer and company don't find themselves
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in ever trying to find an answer to this losing streak.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: But they lost to Austin last night too, to nil.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Mariners morning after coming up next Sports Radio
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM. I'm the greatest hetting in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: college football. That's right. I'm at the fifty yard line
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: right now as the morning is broken, the sun rising
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: up over the end zone right now, and we're getting
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: ready for another Husky's football practice out here. Mario Bailey
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: will be our special guest host today as Greg Lewis
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: was yesterday from eight to ten, so we're excited about that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Demon Williams Junior, Jed Fish, Emmanuel Carnally also joining us
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: as well in our nine o'clock hour. So a lot
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of Huskies talk again today from eight to ten, which
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: means we must discuss everything else going on with the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Seattle sports scene here from six to eight, and we
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: do Mariners Morning After every day, our Mariners post game show.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It's just the morning After. I highlight a sound bite,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a preview of what's to night. Here we go Mariner's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: back in Milwaukee, trying to respond to a twenty two
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: nothing record setting loss the night before, to the record
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: tying lost to the Milwaukee Brewers for deficit in a shutout.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And yet what did they do against Dustin May. They
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: just came out and it looked like for a while
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they might not get out. Brendan Donovan reached on an
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: infield single, Randy a Rose Arena singled to center dom Canzone,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: then doubled the left, scoring two runs. You're already up
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: two to nothing at that point. Then a couple of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: outs and a walk to Cole Young. Cal Raleigh also
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: walked as well. So you've got bases loaded at this point,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: two outs, could you get a couple more? Could you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: take advantage of this opportunity here in the first inning?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: And Taylor Ward, the newcomer, did just.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: That, another two two little liner in the right field.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Bower's coming on at falls for a hit, scoring his
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Canzone Young right behind him, and Taylor Ward down zero
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: to two foot back in the count and dumps a
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: two run single the right.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It's four nothing. Rich Waltz not McKay. I thinks a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: lot of people call him McKay. This is a nickname. Yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: that's where I got that makes sense yesterday or not
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: at all? On the call there Mariner's TV. Yes, Taylor
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Ward finally he became a Mariner last Yeah, he did
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: with a two run single to make it to four
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to nothing at that point. And again our first segment
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: was just that's baseball. And I'm telling you it's such
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a strange thing. And I can't wait to be back
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: in studio with Anders. And it'll probably have to wait
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: till next week to have this conversation more thoroughly, but
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I just want to say it, like Taylor Ward has
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: not drawn a walk since becoming a Mariner. He came
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: here leading the American League in walks, and he has
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: not walked. We acquired him before the deadline at August second, yes,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: eighteen days, and he has not drawn a walk. And
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. I mean, this crazy stuff
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that happens in this sport and particularly this baseball team. True,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: It's very true, because I can promise you this, of
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: all the things that you feel positively and negatively about
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: your local baseball organization, I can promise you this did
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not happen that Taylor Ward walked in and is like, Oh,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: we're so glad to have you. Cannot wait. I mean,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: we really need a guy with on base, we need
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a veteran hitter. And here's what we're gonna change about
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: your swing. Right, That did not happen. It did not happen, Like,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're the ideal person. You're right handed hitting,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and you hit lefties and you walk all the time.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: It's exactly what our lineup needs. So let's change this
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: about your swing. Like that is not occurring here. And yet,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: for some reason, pitchers are the most accurate in the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: world when facing Taylor Ward, as a Mariner when they
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: couldn't find the strike zone with a compass. Yeah, when
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: he was a Baltimore Orioles. I mean, how do you
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: even explain that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know, man, other than that's baseball. You can't
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: really explain it that much, That's what I'm saying.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: So it's just like, it's not that Taylor Ward's going
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: up there and swinging at everything. If anything, he looks
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: too passive to me, I agree, But he knows, he
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: knows why he was broad here, and he's trying to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: draw walks and no picture will throw him a ball.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Wow.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: It's one of those things where I also think Joe
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Sheen actually talked about this on Ian show a couple
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: of times. He had an injury early part of the year,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: so he had to be more passive. But then as
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: the season went on, he got more healthy, and so
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: maybe he was a little more aggressive and turned into
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: the hitter that he was in twenty twenty five a
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: little bit more.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I don't mind having that hitter. He hit thirty six
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: homer exactly exactly. We don't have either one of them.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: As soon as he became a Mariner, he became.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Pointless It's true, very true. So yeah, I don't know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: I can't explain it. Maybe it's the Indian burial ground theory. Honestly, seriously, seriously.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Like seriously, I'm being serious right now. Mariners added three
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: more in the second, and I mean there was an
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: element of that should be enough, because they did not
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: score again, and then slowly, the Brewers just kept climbing
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: back in, kept getting their fans more involved, and the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: fans kept believing they've seen it happen before. They scored
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: twice in the third off of Logan Gilbert. Joey Ortiz,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of all people, ends up hitting a two run homer
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: off of Logan Gilbert. They added another one in the sixth.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: That was seven to three. Then Sir Anthony, coming off
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of his best performance as a Mariner, has a rough
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: eighth and you end up giving up two runs. There
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: could have been more, but it's seven to five. And
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: thank goodness, Andre Smunnios came in and really didn't even
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: give him a chance. They just choked them out. Yes,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in the bottom of the ninth. The Aroners do win
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the game last night, seven to five, despite the Brewers
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: scoring the last five runs of the game. Here's Dan
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Wilson afterward.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: I thought the the at bats were really good. We
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: got runners on, we got them in, you know, some
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: some just some good at bats there in those situations
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: and chances to drive guys in, and we did and
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, a couple of chances later to
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of add on. But we you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: we weren't able to do it. But our pitching was
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: was strong, and Logan you know, labored a little bit,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: I thought, and uh, but got us deep enough into
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: the ball game we were able to hand it over
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: to the bullpen and and uh, you know, the guys
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: in the bullpen did a really nice job and you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: closed the door for us.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson after the game, they did close the door.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And he did labor last night. And that is also
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It's just like first batter after grabbing a four nothing lead.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: How many times have we had a four nothing lead
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: going into the bottom of the first Rare? It's been rare, Chuck,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: maybe never, Maybe it was the first time all season long. Yeah,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and you've got your hottest and best pitcher on the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: mound and the first Brewer hitter takes him to eleven pitches, Yeah,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and walks It's like nothing is easy, nothing is ever
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: going to be easy for this franchise. He's going to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: have to work just to get out of the first
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: inning night, isn't he. It's true, and that's and the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Brewers can do that to you. But there's something about
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the air that makes the Mariners struggle in every form.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: It can never be easy for them. Yeah, but Logan
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: did do enough and the bullpen. Enough guys did get
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the job done out of the bullpen, including Fair who
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: looked good last night, and Munos looked fantastic, and the
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Ms do win the game seven to five. I know
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: it doesn't erase your memory of the twenty two to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: nothing loss on Tuesday, but maybe it did soothe some
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: anger out there. And now you've got a chance to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: win the series at one o'clock this afternoon, and Frankly Andres,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to do it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I know they're facing a lefty and Robert Gasser, but
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I think George is gonna step up today and I
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna take the game today at one o'clock.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: They definitely, on paper, have the better pitching matchup here today.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Of course, Gasser, being left handed, does introduce an element
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: that has foiled the Mariners way too many times. But
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I think they're getting it done.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the great equalizer, right, All you need to
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: do is throw a lefty and you have a chance
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: against the Mariners. But no, I think I agree with you,
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: and that's just crazy, right, would you say you would
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: trade a twenty two to zero loss for winning the series?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Chuck Powell?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Well, for sure, I know for sure, right, not without hesitation.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, at the end of the day, Like, sign me
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: up for a two out of three against a team
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: of the best record in baseball.
• 31:49

  Speaker 1: Don't tell Greg Lewis this because I had a great
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: time with Greg Lewis. But as everybody knows who has
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: listened to this show, Mario Bailey is my favorite Husky

  Speaker 1: of all time. Wow, okay, that is a true story's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and that's just like the player that I liked watching play. Obviously,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millan has become my favorite Husky of all time,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: but just from pure like wanting to watch football before
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I even got into this business. Yes, Mario Bailey is,

• 33:40
  Speaker 1: those skills don't necessarily translate, no to being a co
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: host on a sports talk show. I mean, Mario might
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: piss me off by eight fifteen, and then where are we?
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder if we're gonna get a Greg impression
• 33:52

• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna ask for a one. Okay, Yeah, I'm
• 33:56

• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Softi's life miserable this season. Gonna turn those two on
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: each other. So yes, So we got a lot of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: college football talk from eight to ten, So we're gonna
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: do everything else before that, including Greg Bell seven oh
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: five from Nashville. We also have your headlines at seven
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: o'clock seven o'clock as well, And of course, one of
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the big topics we'll discuss with Greg is the addition
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: yesterday of Trayvon Diggs, the cornerback who, at first in
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: his NFL career looked like he was going to become
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: one of the all time greats. I mean, this guy
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: felt like he got an interception every single game with
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and then, for whatever reason, man his
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: game dropped off dramatically and very quickly into his NFL career,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and he since bounced around a little bit here in
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the last eighteen months or so, and the Seahawks ended
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: up signing him without any promise as to win Terry
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: On Arnold couldn't suit up for the Seahawks. They obviously
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: feel that they have an issue at corner anders. I mean,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that we were this desperate at the
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: cornerback position. I thought it was Terry On Arnold. Hey,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: we really liked him coming out of the draft, and
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: we think those charges aren't gonna stick, and you know,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: maybe that is just isn't representative of his character. We
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: got a chance to get somebody we really liked, who's
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: really young at age what twenty four to twenty five,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: to join our team on the cheap, And so we're
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: gonna go after this opportunity. But then when you follow
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it up with Diggs, it leads me to believe this
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: seem's a little worried about its cornerback position right now.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And we kind of knew there was a position
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: of need, right, But there's a difference between position of
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: need and like desperate for anybody, right, you know what
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: I mean? And Hugh Millen kind of mentioned that when
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: you know, the Seahawks were interested in reportedly bringing Arnold
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: into to to you know, practice with them and try out,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: so to speak. And it was like, okay, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: it's a position of need. It's a guy that's you know, available,
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: that you possibly could get the most out of. But
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: now you're to the point of, okay, now that we
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: have to probably wait for Terry on Arnold, We're just
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: grabbing any guy off the scrap heap at this point.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: And I know Trayvon Diggs has a ton of talent too,
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: and he's still what twenty eight, so it's not like
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: he's about to retire or anything like that, but he.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Was almost forced to retire. Yeah, there's a reason why
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: he's a free agent this late in the process. The
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: point is that no one in the national I mean,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: he worked out for the Lions again, a team far
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: more desperate, I would think, than the Seahawks are for
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: someone in their defensive backfield. And maybe they did make
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: an offer, and the Seahawks just made a better one,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: or you'd rather play for the World Champs than the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: greatest defensive mind in football right now than the Detroit Lions.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of reasons why Diggs
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: could have chosen the Seahawks over other offers.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: That he had.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: But this is I mean, you are not getting peak Diggs,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: There's no question about it. And the peak Diggs did
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: not last very long into his career. So it makes
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you wonder, I mean, are they not happy with Josh job?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Is there an issue here or is it more of
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: a depth thing. Is it a pritchet thing like or
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Ig mcnonny. They just feel as a more of a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: slot guy, like a backup an even worry insurance. I
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: don't know what to read into it, but it's certainly,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: certainly we can read into it that they're not entirely
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: satisfied with what they had in the secondary, at least
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: from a depth point of view, if not a starter's
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: point of view. So here comes Trayvon Diggs, and he
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: brings some baggage as well, but it's more health baggage.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's in the Diggs family, yeah,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: but I don't think he's had the off field stuff
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: that you worry about with Stefan. I mean, but there's
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: an element here of where you know, I'm sure John
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Schneider went home to see his mom and she's like,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want you playing with those Digs boys like
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you get home before dark to do some general managing,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and you stay away from those Digs boys their trouble,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: you know. I'm sure he got the warning on that,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and yet he obviously is intent about getting help in
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: his secondary right now. And so yeah, it makes me
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: worry a little bit that he's worried about something that
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: we don't see.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder how much of it is like, oh
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: we are like, I wonder what the desperation factor is
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: versus like, hey, we just want to get as many
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: you know, we know how much this team thrives on
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: his depth, right, it's a strength in numbers game. Sure,
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: people have described the Seahawks as a team that really
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: relies on the second and third string guys, so you
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: can bring in different packages and stuff like that, right
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Versus a team like the Rams is just gonna throw
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: out at superstars and rely for them to be healthy
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: and if they're not, then they're kind of screwed for
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: the season. Right, So I wonder how much of it
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: is that sort of thing. Maybe Mike McDonald sees something
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: specifically in Trayvon Diggs that he feels like he can
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: get more out of. But as this goes on and
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: there's more instances of this happening. It's one thing to
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: do it with one guy in Terry On Arnold, but
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: to have do it once again basically the next day
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: after all this goes down, is telling me something. But
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: the other thing is maybe this is all like, Okay,
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: we have Arnold basically signed and secured. We don't know
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: how long that's gonna take. We don't know when he's
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: gonna be available. It could be not un till later
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: in the season, so we need to fill that spot
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: until that point. So maybe this isn't a we you
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: know something behind Terry On Arnold, were worried about the
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: depth behind him. It's more to fill that space until
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: he's ready. I don't know, it's kind of I thought.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Terry and Arnold was supposed to be just an added thing.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that he was filling a need. So
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: if Terry and Arnold's not filling a need, then why
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: do we need to fill the Terryan Arnold voyage. So
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: we'll get Greg's interpretation of this coming up here in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the next segment, plus your headlines on Sports Radio ninety
• 39:50
