• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It's a phenomenal movie. Well, welcome into the radio program.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: We do have a lot to break down with you today,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and I can imagine that you can imagine what I'm
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: going to talk about a lot today. If you've been
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: listening to this radio program at all over the course
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the past season and really the last season and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a half, you know how frustrated I have been with
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions over the course of the last
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: year and a half. Well, it hit an all time
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: low on Sundays.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Did you not love that?
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: No?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a big wasn't a big fan of it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So you can imagine what we are going to break
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: down here today. And this is what I mean by
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: hitting an old time load.
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You know what cortisol is, right, yeah? Yeah, yeah, Well,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Cortisol gets released in your body. It's basically toxins in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: your body, like poisons in your body. So you can
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: work out and you can sweat and you don't stink,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: if you've ever noticed, like you can go to the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: gym and you can have a great workout or go
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to the sun or whatever the case. And if you're
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: relaxed and you just are working out, you don't walk
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: away from there smelling your armpits and thinking to yourself,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: oh man, that I smell disgusting right now. And there's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a reason for it, because that's a different type of perspiration.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But any type of perspiration that's brought on by anxiety
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: or stress or anger or anything of that nature releases
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: cortisol and then that's when you will like, oh my gosh,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I smell like ass, what the hell? Why do I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: smell this way? So I never really experienced a lot
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of this because I lived a pretty stressful life until
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: stress free life until the Unicorn. And then we would
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: when we would have our arguments discuss I started to realize,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like I would sit there like, man, why went once
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the dust settled, Like, why do I stink like I'm
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: going to take a shower? Yeah, you know, after that argument,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: after that discussion, yeah, I gotta watch that. And and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so it's because of the stress of the conversation. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was releasing cortisol and would start to stink. Okay, well,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the Mariners game, and as soon as it's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: over yesterday, I just turn it off. And then I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: end up going for a walk. I'm just like I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: had to go get a few things at targets. I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just walked to Target and as I'm on the way back,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and I have like a hoodie on and shorts and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But as I'm on my way back,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I you know, unzip the hoodie and I'm like, oh man,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I got where did that stress come from? I just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: walked to the targeted back and I get all the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: way home and I go and it dawns on me.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I said, thought to myself, Oh my gosh, the Mariners
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and Dan Wilson were so bad on Sunday. They made
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: me stink.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Oh that is bad. They put their stink on you, right.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I got so worked up and so angered by that moment.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Apparently the walk I was releasing some cortisol and I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: had to go home and shower. I had to wash
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the stink of the Mariners off yesterday, had to physically
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: remove it with soap and water yesterday, so that I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: didn't discust myself for the rest of the evening, so
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that I didn't keep getting an aromatic reminder of just
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: how bad that the Mariners blew that game yesterday. That's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: how bad the Mariners were. That's how bad Dan Wilson's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: decisions were yesterday. They were so bad they made me stink.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Think about that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: That hurts. That hurts, Like I've watched a lot of
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, you watched.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: A lot of sports where you're like, this team stinks.
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just I've watched a lot of bad baseball.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: But and yesterday I watched it and thought, man, that sucked.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: Like when we when we blew the lead. I turned
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: it off. I was like, I don't even want to
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: see the end of it. And it sucked. Yeah, but
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: to know that it made you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Stink, right, I mean you watched play of sporting events
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: where like this team stinks or this game stinks, or
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that ref stinks. But not many times have you watched
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a sporting event and said, that's making me stink.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that happened this guy stink.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that happened to me yesterday.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm sorry, Thanks Dan, thanks.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: For releasing the cortisol in me. That's how angry I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: ended up being over that. But you can understand why
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: if you've been listening to this show at all, you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: know how many problems. I mean, it is a good
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: thing we haven't had Bucky here because Bucky tends to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: defend Dan, and or at least he did last season.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Don't know if he would this year, but I don't know.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, as I'm not sure where there's conversations
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: would have gone this year had had he defended Dan
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: as robustly as he did a season ago. Because I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: think he's getting worse and I think, based on what
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I've read, people are in agreement including those that cover
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: him on the beat, including those that have supported him
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: in the past. I'm not sure there's much support for
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the way that he's managing this bullpen. And yesterday sort
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of took the cake. I mean, if you weren't with
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: us on Friday, you didn't hear my breakdown of Gabe
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Spier having thrown fifteen pitches in sixteen days or was
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it sixteen and fifteen.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Something else seen pitches in sixteen days.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fifteen pitches in sixteen days. And basically I just
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: highlighted how if you are down a reliever and you're
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: having so much difficulty getting through close games having a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: fresh bullpen arm to go to, you are wasting one
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of your most valuable resources in Gabe Spire by only
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: throwing him a third of an inning every three days.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You know you need to figure out a way to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: use him for a full inning, maybe even an inning
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and a half or an inning and a third or
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: an inning and two thirds. And yet yesterday they went
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: into the game knowing knowing that Jose Ferrer wasn't available,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: which I'm not really sure why he's not available in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that situation. Yeah, he'd drown. Back to back days but
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he threw a combined twenty one pitches. The dude's a hoarse. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: why is he not available in a game that feels
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: like you've lost two straight series to the Red Sox
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and the Pirates and you could have kind of turned
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: things around with a series victory yesterday. And I'm not
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: going to rule out Jose Ferrer from my bullpen in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that situation. But you did. You did, the organization did,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Jerry did, justined it. Whoever did it, that was their decision.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: That was your group decision that Jose Ferrer cannot pitch
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in game three. He cannot possibly pitch three days in
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a row. So you knew you didn't have him. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: when you do that, you also know you have another rule.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: We don't let Spire, Bizardo or Munos pitch for more
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: than an inning. You also know that those are your rules,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and you said so after the game yesterday. We don't
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: let There are certain guys that we don't let pitch more.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you don't let them, but you've
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: made the decision that they are so precious and so
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: fragile that they can't possibly pitch part of an inning.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Sit down and then go back out and start another inning.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So there's another rule that you have. So when you're
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: doing the math at the beginning of the day, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: night before, when you go to sleep in the first inning,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: third inning, bottom of the fourth, while you're taking a pee.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: At some point during the course of your long day
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: at the ballyard, does it not cross your mind the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: math that it will require, under all of these rules
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and stipulations to get through nine innings without having to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: tap into somebody that you don't trust to work in
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a higher leverage situation. You mean, never crossed your mind that,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Oh man, if we take Hancock out before the end
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the sixth, that means we've got ten outs to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: get and I've only got nine that I can use
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: because for Air's not available. We can't go more than
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: an inning with any of our three best guys. So
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: how am I going to navigate this? And yet you
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: find yourself painted into such a corner in a regulation
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: game nine innings when you haven't had bizard O pitch
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in three days, and Gabe Speier went through a stretch
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of throwing fifteen pitches in sixteen days, and you're so friggin'
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: strapped for strong bullpen arms to get you through the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: last three innings of a game. That you take Emerson
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Hancock out of the bottom of the sixth when he's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: got two outs, he just walked a guy. Sure, he's
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: under one hundred pitches, and you're getting ready to face
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the eight to nine guys in the order. You haven't
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: done the math that maybe Emerson's the better matchup here,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and that we say Bizardo for a full inning rather
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: than just pitch him a third inning, so that we
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: don't have to go to Michael frickin' Rucker with the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: game on the line. That didn't even cross your mind.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Doesn't seem like it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: What on earth are we doing?
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: Let Hancock finish or let Bizardo go an inning in
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: a third one of the yep, the decision is not no,
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: Let's throw him out for ten pitches. Bizardo has thrown
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: nineteen pitches in six days.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: There is no way he's that tired. There's no way.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: And if he's tired from anything, it's warming.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Up good point, which, by the way, cannot be underestimated.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Andre's munos. You don't even get into that game. He's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: just standing out there, just stalking the bullpen like watching
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: base runner after base runner accumulate in the eighth inning.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So here you are with your master plan of saving
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: him for the ideal save situation, and you don't even
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: get him into the game in a game that you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: led from the beginning to the end until you decided, yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: let's put in the eighth inning in a game that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: we can win a series somebody that has never done
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: this before in his entire life. And then our backup
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: plan will be another guy who has never done this
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: before in his entire life. That's the strategy. That's what
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you went with. That's what you spent all night, all
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: day with an entire coaching staff, a general manager, a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: president that seemed to hover over you. And that's what
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you came up with on Sunday to ruin everybody. Sunday,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: let's blow a three run lead and just watch it
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: tick away because we can't react in time, because we
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: can't do math, simple math. If you knew you only
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: had nine outs from your three best guys, how are
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you not using them more wisely? Emmerson Hancock wasn't in trouble,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: He wasn't getting beat around the yard. He issued a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: two out walk he was under one hundred pitches. He
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: can't go beyond one hundred another rule that we apparently have.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: We're midway through the season. This isn't April any more.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: We are midway through the baseball season. If he's not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: loosened up and ready to go by now, especially with
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: your six game, six man starting rotation that you decided
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to go back to over the weekend. I'm sure Bryce
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and Luiz felt great about that. He's getting worse by
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I know Dan Wilson brings a lot of good things
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to the table. I know that. But what you are
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: as a manager is your job. You are tasked with
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: get the most out of the talent on your roster. Well,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: he's clearly not doing that. We are under five hundred
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, it doesn't look nice with at worst
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the second best roster in the American League and maybe
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the best. And we are a game under five hundred
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: eighty five games into the season. So you're not getting
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that job done. And then bullpen usage the that you
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: structure it, especially when you went to the six man rotation.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: This is not like this is not like cracking some
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: government code. You're not hacking into the government system to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: try to steal funds. It's managing a bullpen. It's not
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that hard. And yet you would think that we're asking
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson to climb Mount Killiman Jarre every fricking day.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He's bad at it, and he's getting worse. And I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: don't know how much longer you can do with it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a person that calls for people's jobs,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: but I don't know how much longer you can keep
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: going with this. Either somebody needs to teach him how
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to do it, or needs to sit next to him
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and make sure he doesn't f it up, or you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: need to get a new guy in there that knows
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: how to manage a bullpen. There a lot of teams
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that have four reliable relievers in Major League Baseball. There
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: just aren't we have that. And when Brash is healthy,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: we had five, and we still couldn't get through games
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: with five guys, five good guys. We kept still running
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: out of pitchers somehow, some way, Hey, this is preposterous.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: What has been happening with this baseball team? That we
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: are this limited with our bullpen, and then even knowing
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: we're even these restrictions that we put on ourselves. We're
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: forcing ourselves to be that limited, and then we still
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: can't do the math to figure out how to maximize
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: what we do have. I mean, it is inexcusable on
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: both ends, and you can't do it any longer. I'm
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: not saying fire Dan, but somebody's got to take over
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: because he can't do it. And I've said that going
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I've said that all season long. I certainly said it
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: going into the weekend. It was a big topic on Friday,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and now after watching that disaster, how can you trust
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: him to make another decision with his bullpen? He doesn't
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: know how to do it, and he's not learning on
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the job.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Well, And that's the thing I don't understand about Saturday.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: Why you go away from the piggyback when you know
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: that this is his weakness and that at least on
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: that one day he doesn't have to manage a bullpen.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: On that one.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Day, you know you've got you were gonna have Gilbert
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: and Hancock and nobody else didn't have to worry about it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: And then you're saving your bullpen, so everybody's fine and
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: all your rules are safe for Sunday, But then you
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: scrap it at the last minute. On Saturday and then
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: have a disaster on Sunday.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And Hancock was great, Yes, yeah, I mean okay, wasn't great. No,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: he was good, very good.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: Job done.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was good and he did he got the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: job done, and he would have gotten you through the sixth.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I just don't know who's sitting there saying, huh. We'd
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: have Emerson get out Gabe Arius, a two to eleven hitter,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: see if he can get it out of the inning,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and then we can say Bizardo for the eighth, or
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we can rescue Emerson with a runner at first and
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: two outs against the eight nine hitters in their lineup,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: because you can't possibly go anymore, and then we can
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: throw Mike Rucker in the eighth. And you chose plan B.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: You chose Plan B. There wasn't anything else that created
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: any kind of havoc in that game. You chose Plan B.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Who makes that decision?
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: I wish I knew?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Made me Probably made me stink again. I'll have to

  Speaker 1: enter our number two of the Chuck and Buck radio program.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: We got plenty to discuss with Al Knnis today at
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock, Andershurst at seven thirty. Who's got World Cup coverage?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Plus he's trying to move today.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's real fun. Moving's not stressful at all. So
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: that's good.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah that guy. Yeah, why did you choose to move
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: when we were asking you to do more work than
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: ever before in your history of kJ R?
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like literally the most ever and you were like,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: you know what, I've got a plan.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he should move.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Hi, it's not the brightest move Andrews. Yeah, not really
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: That's pretty stupid.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Some would say stupid. Yes, I was gonna stop. I
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: was gonna stop. Short of that, I wasn't. Yeah, anyway, stupid.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Will join us today at seven thirty talk some World
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Cup and probably some moving as well. So and he's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: got a new baby as well. That's not gonna be easy.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: Did he think any of us through?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: None of It's that's the stupid part, I think.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: But before that, let's take a look at your headline.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Mariners lose. They collapse down the stretch for some reason.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: In the eighth inning, Dan Wilson had not done the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: math and did not realize, oh wow, I don't have
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: anybody else to throw in the eighth inning to get
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the munho. So we're gonna have to go with an
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: unproven Michael Rucker and Josh Simpson who did not get
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the job done. So the Mariners end up losing to
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the Guardians six to five. They've now lost three consecutive series.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: They've fallen below five hundred at forty two and forty three,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and even though they weren't playing like a first place team,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they had held on to first place for quite some time,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: they're no longer in that position anymore. They dropped below
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers, and so this team limps home to
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: host a series against the Angels starting tonight. George Kirby
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: will get the start for the Mariners and the very
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: unknown Ryan Johnson will start for the Angels, who are
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in all of Major League Baseball,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: so bad they fired their general manager since last week
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: spoke and so you're set up to possibly get well
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: against the right opponent here the next three days. But
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: at this stage there's not a lot we can trust
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: about the twenty twenty six Mariners So we're going to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: get into a few things here in a little bit,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: but let me get through the rest of your headlines.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: The knockout stage of the World Cup is here? A
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: fired up? Are you for the knockout stage of the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: World Cup? I love it?
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: This is what's This is the fun part.
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the pool play, the group play, whatever you're supposed
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: to call it with soccer. Yeah, sure, Like it was
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: fun to watch the US here and watch them win
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: the group but this is what it's all about.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. And they expanded the obviously
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the field and now there's a round of thirty two
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that you're dealing with. So, like I was just doing
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: our math for our picks, Like I thought for sure
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you weren't going to get Senegal through. Oh they had
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: one win and two losses.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: They yeah, there they go.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So it's hard not to advance basically into the round
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of thirty two. And so that started yesterday with Canada
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: winning over South Africa one nil. Canada has never gotten
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: into the round of sixteen until now. So congratulations Canada.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Proud of you.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Ah, I'm really proud of you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's some Moulson's celebrate.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not you Matt Brash put that down. Yeah, you can't. Really,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: We don't want you to lift anything.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Unless someone can hold it for you with a straw,
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: something safer.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that is the way things are happening.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: What he's just sitting there like with a yeah, celebratory
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: can of Canada dry. Yeah, with a Bendi straw. Here,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: just take a little.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Yep, Just what's your whistles?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Take a little, Take a little, Matt. Do you want
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a cracker? Do you need a cracker? Something that will
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: be good on your stomach, easy on your stomacher.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Gingdrel and crackers. That's what he's out with. Actually, it's
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: it's been the stomach flu.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: They're very careful with their relief pictures. Ashley. You might
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: want to mock it. I do, but you know sometimes
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: when a game on the line, they'll only let them
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: pitch a third of an inning.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Oh is that true?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't. So there's no doubt ridiculous choice that Matt
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Brash is on an exclusive Cracker and Canada dry diet
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: right now in his rehab. You're right, yeah, yeah, what
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: if he chokes on meat?
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: That's right? Unless somebody wants to baby burd it for him,
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: Mama bird.
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: It for it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: That might happen too. I don't know if Wood he's
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the guy for that. I think he's way too elevated
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: for that. But there's somebody on that shade.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Oh there's someone there that can choose your meat for you.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what else we got? So knockout stage, Yes,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it is underway. Canada has advanced. US will face Bosnia
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Herzegovina Wednesday at five o'clock. And then today you got
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: three knockout matches. You got Brazil versus Japan, You've got
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Germany versus Paraguay, and you will have the freaky Naky
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Dutch taking on Morocco. There are two things in this
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: world that I cannot stand, and that is those who
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: have intolerance for other people's cultures and the Dutch. So
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: those matches that taken place today. The NHL Draft was
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: held on Friday and Saturday. Chase Reid was our selection
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: here in Seattle at seventh. Overall a lot of talk
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: about whether or not that pick would be traded away
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: for a proven veteran. Well, it didn't come together for
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Jason Bottrel and the Kraken, And yes, I do pronounce
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: his name differently every time I pronounce it, but so
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: does he.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: Yees, so that's fine. Yeah, we're just going with the
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: flow the trend.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: So Chase Reid a defenceman is the choice there. I'm
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: not sure if we can categorize him as an official
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: offensive defenseman, but we'll find out from Al Koniski today
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: at eight o'clock.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Cross.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. I love an offensive defenseman. As you know,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association, free agency starts tomorrow, a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: little over twenty four hours from now. Free agency period begins.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, very difficult to even get to free agency
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: in the National Basketball Association, and the Stars typically don't period,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: but Lebron James could become a free agent by tomorrow.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: That could be interesting. And then, of course, there are
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: all sorts of trade rumors still going around the National
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Basketball Association. The latest the juiciest that Kawhi Leonard looks
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: like he could be headed back to Toronto, a place
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that he loves. He's got one year left on his
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. Other teams are interested,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: but Leonard, who's a very weird guy, has made it
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: very clear there's only one team that I will sign
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: an extension with and that is Toronto. That is a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: guy that prioritizes a lot of other things above winning.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And yet he's a great winner. Yeah, I mean he's
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a champion. He's won in two different he's won for
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: two different franchises, led two different franchises championships. But it's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: not a He's not one that's ever gonna jump aboard
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the super team bandwagon. He's like, ah no, I just
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: really like Toronto and Tim Horton's and if you could
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: get me back there, that's where I want to play
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: basketball in the donut capital of Canada.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: I've heard Tim Hortons are heaven Tim Bitts.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Uh So that's something to keep your eye on. And
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown still has not been traded, but also something
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to keep your eye on. Finally, Wimpleton got started today.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: It's playing being played right now as as we speak.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And Serena Williams makes her return. That happened fast, did
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: it not?
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: It?
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Did it did?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Right? She went from, Hey, I think I want to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: play again, and but you know, just dabble, just doubles.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been removed from the game for a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: little while. And now all of a sudden, No, I'm
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: gonna play singles at Wimbledon. Yeah, bring it on.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and yeah, probably the crazy because she had the
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: doubles and her partner got hurt I think in whatever
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: tournament they'd entered, and so then she couldn't finish. So
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: I wonder she was like, well, I can't rely on
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: someone else to help me with this.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Exactly, I'll do it myself.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Venus is the only one I could ever depend on. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: all right, So yeah, Wimpleton is here and and we'll
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on that for you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Those are your headlines. They are brought to you by
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Frost Brewed Corp's Light to Choose a chill. Let me
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: before we dive back into this, because I've already ranted
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and raved about Dan Wilson and bullpen decisions, and if
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you've missed it, you can check out the podcast. I'm
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: going to do it again before the end of the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: show as well. But just a little personal life situation here.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: So I've been doing some spring cleaning, and in doing
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: my spring cleaning, I came across three Mariners T shirts
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that Christine. I did wash them when I brought them home,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: but they were they were you know, they're from Mariner's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: spring training, like the player's T shirts, and so I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: took the tags off of them and washed them, but
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: realized pretty quickly, oh, those are a size too small
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: for me, so they've never been worn. So I had
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: these three T shirts, and I guess I could have
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: just brought them into you, but I was doing spring cleaning,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought, who nearby could really would really like
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: this because I'm probably going to give them the goodwill
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: or you know, take them into work tomorrow or something
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: like that. But I had them on my shoulder and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I was getting ready to run an errand, and I'm like,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you know who would like this. It's my buddy Jake,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: my bartender from the you know, the kitchen. Yeah, And
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: so I just ran him in there just to see
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: if he wanted them. Otherwise I was just going to
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: scrap them, these three like brand new T shirts. And
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: he wasn't there. He was out of town. And so
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: there was a female bartender that was there instead, and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I do know her and she's very nice. But I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: kind of told her my story of why I have
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: three Mariners T shirts draped over my shoulder and she
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: looked at me like I was the most disgusting person
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: on the planet. Really, yeah, And so all of a sudden,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like explaining, like, no, no, no, they've never been worn.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I just took the tags off and washed them, but
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: they've never been worn. It's just I'm like, just like
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: you would give a gift, like to your nephew, like
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you would take the tags off, and then if you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: wanted them to wear it right away, maybe you would
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: wash it first and then you put it in the box.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: That's not disgusting. I'm not being disgusting here. It's not
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: like I wore it or wore it over here and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: just took it off in the middle of the bar
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: and gave it to you. But she looked at me
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: like that, like what a disgusting notion. You're gonna give
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: me your old T shirts. They're brand new, you can't
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: buy them in stores. Mariners T shirts, three of them, Yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: gorgeous little suckers. Uh. And and they don't fit me.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Otherwise I would have wore them, but I thought this
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: might be something that somebody near by me would like.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: And I left there feeling like the world's biggest loser
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and maybe not biggest, I mean, maybe not a loser
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: at all, but you know what I mean.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: But else dejected, rejected.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel rejected. Yeah, And I was like, that's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the last thing I expected to feel gifting somebody three
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Mariners spring training t shirts. Was that I was going
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to walk away from their feeling like I was a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: lesser human being.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: That's just a.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: Weird reaction too, to someone like she could have just
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: been like, oh, that's really nice. He's not here right now,
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: but you know, I bet he'd love them when he
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: comes back. And then even if he didn't love them,
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: or he didn't think he would, do.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: You just fake it?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Well? Well, I'm like, well he's I said, I like,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I brought him in here for Jake, but if he's
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: not here, I'll make Do you have any use for them?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Your kids? You got nephews something like that, I think
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: they'd like them. And uh, just this look of like
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: why would I want those? So weird? Yeah, And then
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the guy said, in next milk, I'll take them. So
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, here you go, buddy, I don't even like you,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: but here you go. You get three anyway, So I'm
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: not weird. Okay, No, just making sure it's weird. All right, Well,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: let's dive into this. Like I said, I've already ranted
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: about the bullpen, as you might expect, and I'm not
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: done with it a little bit later on. But instead
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of sitting down and apparently teaching their manager at the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: major league level how to make bullpen substitutions, which I
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: kind of feel like that needs to be done, like
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: somebody needs to take over that job or somebody needs
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: to instruct Dan on how this needs to work. But
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: shy of that, it sounds like what they might do
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: to fix their bullpen is call up these two young
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: studs that we've been talking about, Kate Anderson and Ryan
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Sloan since they're trying to limit their innings anyway this season,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and might use them in what Adam Jude is describing
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: as a super pen and also add something else before
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the trading deadline. Maybe not a role as Chapman, but
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: obviously bullpen guys are always available to the trading deadline,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: So this kind of seems like what they are thinking about,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: because right now we have a baseball team that routinely
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: seems to run out of available bullpen arms, and sometimes
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: yesterday and one of the more high leverage situations that
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you could put them in. And so this trend just
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: keeps repeating itself. And even though I don't consider us
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to have a injured bullpen, we got one guy out
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: right now, one guy yeah, Munio seems fixed. There's nothing there.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Knock on wood yeah, and bizarre and spires back. He
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: hasn't given up a run since April. For goodness sake.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: He seems healthy to me. And so we have four
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: good bullpen arms, reliable bullpen arms. And I've watched enough baseball.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: There aren't a lot of teams out there that have
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: four reliable bullpen arms. And they don't seem to struggle
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: with how to get through a series, how to get
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: through a win, but we do. On almost the daily.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: We're always struggling on how we're going to get to
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the ninth inning in Munnos because of how many rules
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and restrictions that we put on ourselves. You know, guys
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: can't go more than an inning. Guys can't finish an
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: inning and start the next inning. Guys can't work three
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: days in a row, in some cases, not even two
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: days in a row. I think that's where they've got
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Munos now, and I think they've got Spire there too.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: They can't work two days in a row. They broke
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: that rule because Spire pitched a whole one pitch Thursday,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: so they let him pitch on Friday. So you have
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: all these rules and these restrictions to keep you from,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: as I've said many times before, just managing the game
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to win the game, managing to create endurance for the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: entire season. Out of this group of four guys that
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: should be more than enough that you shouldn't be running
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: out of bullpen arms that you trust on such a
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: consistent basis. It's practically a nightly basis. And so if
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: you don't have a manager that knows how to do it,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and you're not going to make any changes on that front,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: then I suppose the next idea is, well, let's just
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: use our two studs who seem to be making child's
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: play out of the minor leagues, and we'll bring them
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: up and put them in the bullpen and add two
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: more pieces. Well, Quill have so many good bullpen pieces
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: that it can't be screwed up. It's too big to fail.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: If we can create a super pen for Dan Wilson
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: to use every option that he has should be an
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: effective option, and so this apparently is what they are
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: considering right now. We might see Kate Anderson called up soon.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's certainly making mincemeat out of double A
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: right now. And we can't figure out how many pitchers
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: we want in our starting rotation. We're certainly not going
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to go to seven. It's pretty clear we're not going
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to go to two piggybacks. So the idea is, if
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Kate Anderson is this good, can we use them in
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: an area where we seem to be struggling right now.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: But I would argue, Ashley, the only reason you're struggling
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: there is because you don't have a manager that knows
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: how to put people in the right place.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: Even bringing them up, I'd worry that he wouldn't know
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: when to use them correctly or how to use them correctly.
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: I'd almost want like, and I know this is going
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: to sound like I am joking, but I'm really not.
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: I want like game simulations, and I want Dan to
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: have to sit there and I want him someone to say,
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: all right, here's your scenario.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: What are you gonna do?
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: And then it's either and then he has to watch
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: it play out and is on the game simulator. How
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: is decisions would actually work?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Wow? Does it really have to come to that?
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: So we've got to go to like one oh one
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: managing one on one?
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, do you feel confident in his ability?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: Exactly, So test him.
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: Let's put him through the rigors of managing and test
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: him and say okay, no, Dan, and this is why
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: you would do this, and this is what's gonna happen here,
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: and this is why you would do this. And then
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: that way, when he goes into a game, he knows
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: the situation. He knows how to make quick decisions and
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: the right decisions, which would be awesome.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, long has it been used as a detriment
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: to Seattle Mariners Baseball that they long flights that they
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: have to take compared to everybody else. They will wear
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: on you eventually. But if we use that extra time
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to put a simulator on our manager's head, so he knows,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: just saying right, has a better idea as to when
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: to use his pitchers. I mean, the reason we're saying this,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: if you missed the first segment, I mean, if you
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: know you only have nine outs out of you only
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: have three guys that you trust to close out a game,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and you know that you won't use them for more
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: than three outs, so you know you have nine and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: then you just waste two of them, two of those
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: outs because Bizardo comes in to clean up what wasn't
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: even a mess from Emerson Hancock. There was a runner
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: at first and two outs and the eight nine hole
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: hitters coming up, and so he didn't even have to
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: clean anything up. He almost created more he well, he did,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: he created more trouble than he adopted yep inherited. And
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: so if you're struggling with that fundamental of a mathematical equation,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: then there is a The fix is bigger than what
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: is in front of you. And I don't know if
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: it's managerial one oh one that he needs to go
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: through on flights to and from baseball cities, or if
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: it's a super pin as has been suggested that we
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: just surround him with every single picture is a high
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: leverage pitcher, then he can't screw it up.
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: I would hope not, but I do think if anyone could,
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: he could well.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I thought he wasn't bad in the second half last year.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: I thought he got better. I thought he'd turned a
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: corner when he was just managing to win and he
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: didn't have to juggle everything else. But there is no way,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: there is no I know, people continuously say Joseph and
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Jerry are pulling all the strings on all of this.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: There's no phone in there. He's never on a phone.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Dan standing there with his hands in his pockets, fidgeting, shaking.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, and this what am I gonna What choice am
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: I gonna have to make?
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: Here?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: We've never caught him once on the phone. I mean
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: maybe I've seen him look at his watch or pull
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: out his phone. Yeah, we're not seeing that he These
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: are his decisions, and if they're not his decisions, then
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: he needs to fight them.
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: But he said yesterday in the postgame press conference that
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: you know, we just we they felt they needed to
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: get out of that inning first, and that's how they
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: were going to use Bizardo, even though Hancock wasn't in
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: any trouble, right.
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: And then and so, but again, you don't have that
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: problem if you're fine putting Bizardo back out there for
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: the next inning.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Right, I agree, But you have all of these restrictions. Yeah,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and then with the restrictions, you can't even do simple
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: math on how to get through the game. So the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: super pen idea is, we're going to make it so
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: that you can't screw it up. Like everybody that you
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: go to you know is effective. And if they do
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: bring up an Anderson and a Sloan and that's how
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: they're used for the rest of the year to limit
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: their number of innings. And then you do add a
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: piece or two at the trading deadline, well, and you
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: get Matt brash back. A super pen solves everything, right,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: everybody love to have a SuperPen. It just shouldn't have
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: to come to that.
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: No, it shouldn't have to come This is not hard.
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, especially not for the reasoning of that way your
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: manager can't screw it up.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: That's how it feels like. Yeah, I mean, I know
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: they're not saying it, but that's how it feels like. Yeah,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, but and that those decisions might come soon.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: What more does Anderson have to prove in double A
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: what do we Yeah, I don't know. And that there's
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: no room in the starting rotation and we clearly need
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: an extra arm because we can't even get through a
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: three day weekend series with The Guardians without having to
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: pitch Michael Rucker in the eighth then it's probably going
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: to happen soon. Maybe, Sloan, you wait a little while longer,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: but the super pen is here to save us from
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: our manager's bullpen decisions.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: Okay, thank you, ya bad. Somebody's gonna save us, all.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Right, anders Hurst. Next, Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Hey,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: great morning to you all. It is Chuck and Ashley
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: with you here on this Monday at ranting and raving
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: all day long, so let's cool it down a little
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: bit with the coolest guy in town. Anders Hurst now
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: joins us here. He's turned into our World Cup expert.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Here at Sports Radio ninety three point three kh a
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: r FM. He and Jackson Felts doing a bang up
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: job in that area, and today he has decided to
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: join us. While he's moving a sofa. Good morning, anders
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: I'm carrying on one sofa with one pinky right now,
• 45:50
  Speaker 10: and then I have my phone on the other hand,
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: so it's it's pretty easy.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Actually, why on earth did you choose to move when
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: you had this kind of schedule this month? What was
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: your thinking that.
• 46:02
  Speaker 10: To be honest, it wasn't my choice as much as
• 46:05
  Speaker 10: it would have liked to be. But you know, it's
• 46:09
  Speaker 10: kind of how things fall. We bought our first Pondo
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: right a couple of weeks ago, so we're just now
• 46:17
  Speaker 10: figuring out, hey, we actually have to move into that now.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, another like having you know, twenty hour work
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: days to have to work around. Yeah, well, it's good
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: to have you with us. How excited are you about
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: having reached the knockout stage here?
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: Pretty good? I mean, overall, you're looking at just the
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: tournament as a whole. I think this is where it
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: starts to get really exciting. You can look at the
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: knockout stages kind of two different ways, because I think
• 46:47
  Speaker 10: the actual soccer may actually take a slight dip because
• 46:53
  Speaker 10: most teams are going to be much more cautious now
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: because they know that a single mistake can lead to
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: you being knocked out of the entire tournament. Every single
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: game now obviously is knocking a team out, so knowing
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: that they usually are a lot more cautious. But because
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: of that fact, it also makes it that much more exciting.
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: So normally you get more low, lower scoring games. Especially
• 47:24
  Speaker 10: when the teams are very evenly matched, but you never know,
• 47:28
  Speaker 10: like there could be some high octane offenses that are
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: just going out to prove that they are the better team. Still,
• 47:35
  Speaker 10: So yeah, I think in terms of just the overall play,
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: it might take a slight dip, but the excitement definitely
• 47:42
  Speaker 10: takes a jump up.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Who do you see as a powerhouse that it might
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: be vulnerable now that we're in this knockout stage based
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: on the way they played in group play.
• 47:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, don't listen Jackson Phelps because Stain is my choice.
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: On that one.
• 47:59
  Speaker 10: I I'm not a huge I'm not convinced by them.
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna be completely honest. I know there everyone's darling
• 48:05
  Speaker 10: and everyone favored them coming into the tournament. It was
• 48:08
  Speaker 10: them in France, and then it kind of felt like
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: everyone else. It just seems like they I realized that,
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: you know, they kind of put the first katee Verade
• 48:17
  Speaker 10: game behind them, and then they came out in the
• 48:18
  Speaker 10: second game versus Saudi Arabia and really dominated. It showed
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: that that's kind of the Spain team where he used
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: to seeing. But then in the third game it's Ugu
• 48:26
  Speaker 10: and Uruguay team that is out of this World Cup
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: that did not show very many good signs. The only
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: goal they scored was on a keeper error that should
• 48:37
  Speaker 10: have been saved. So yes, there was probably an element of, hey,
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: we know we're already through and we can kind of
• 48:45
  Speaker 10: go cruise control in this moment. But I don't know, man,
• 48:47
  Speaker 10: I just haven't been fully convinced by them. I think
• 48:51
  Speaker 10: there are at least maybe five or six teams that
• 48:53
  Speaker 10: are better than them right now. So that's that's kind
• 48:57
  Speaker 10: of where I stand on Spain. But maybe they'll prove
• 48:59
  Speaker 10: me wrong here in the next couple of weeks.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Anders Hurst is with us. You're the only person that
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I know that really just can't stand Canada. And yet
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: were you happy for them yesterday? No?
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: No, I was not.
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: To be completely honest, Chuck, this has nothing to do
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: with my Canada hate. It has to do with how
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: poor of a soccer team that I think they are. Oh,
• 49:34
  Speaker 10: I don't think they're very good at all. I mean
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: it's granted South Africa is not great either, but that
• 49:40
  Speaker 10: game yesterday is probably going to be the worst game
• 49:43
  Speaker 10: of the entire World Cup. I'm not gonna lie because
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: of the fact that like it kind of what I
• 49:49
  Speaker 10: mentioned about the knockout stages. Both teams were being extra cautious,
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: but they also just didn't have a ton of quality,
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: so anytime there was a chance, they just didn't really
• 50:00
  Speaker 10: take advantage of it either side. But at least South
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: Africa was showing at least a little bit of ambition
• 50:06
  Speaker 10: to kind of keep possession and play to win the game.
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: Canada just kind of felt like, all right, we're gonna
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: kind of sit back and wait for a moment for
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: you to make a mistake and then we're going to
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: kind of jump on it. And they got kind of
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: I don't want to say Luckys was a great finish,
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: great goal in the very end of the game, but
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: I just I don't know, man, Like those two teams,
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: this is what you get when you get expanded World Cup.
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: Those two teams probably wouldn't be in the knockout stages
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: in previous iterations of the World Cup, but it is
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: what it is. They end up, you know, getting to
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: the round of sixteen for the first time in their history,
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: so good for them.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I guess andrews Hurst is with us. If he sounds
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a little stressed in a few minutes, he's going to
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: have to move a shiffer robe up a flight of stairs.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: So just bear with him a little bit. I was
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you, like, how devastating what it be at
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: the stage if America lost on Wednesday, But it's kind
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: of sounding to me like you don't think that there's
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: even a chance that that's going to happen.
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: I still think there's a chance. The knockout stage is
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: you know, like this can happen, and there's gonna be
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: lower scoring games. There's going to be more times where
• 51:16
  Speaker 10: the better team doesn't win because of what's at stake.
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: It would be absolutely devastating. Like I don't think I
• 51:26
  Speaker 10: don't change my viewpoints on the United States and their
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: World Cup campaign after the Turkey loss.
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: I really don't.
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: They've rotated their entire team. It was basically all substitute
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: players that were playing that game. They had already moved on,
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: they were already top of the group. I basically don't
• 51:45
  Speaker 10: change anything about how I feel about this team after
• 51:48
  Speaker 10: that game. Now, that would not be the case if
• 51:51
  Speaker 10: they were to lose in the round of thirty two
• 51:53
  Speaker 10: to Bosi and Herscovina. That would basically undo all of
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: the good things that you have done in these couple
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: weeks of the tournament and everyone would start to turn
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: on this team again based off of one game. So
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: there's a lot at stake here. I am a little
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: worried that there's still a little part of me that
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: even though the US is a much better team and
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: I really believe what they're doing is a ton of
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: fun and it's this is a different deal to a
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: United States men's national team than I felt before, but
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: I still have a little doubt in my mind that
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: they're going to come out and throw a dud in
• 52:27
  Speaker 10: the round of thirty two and it's all gonna be undone.
• 52:30
  Speaker 10: So hopefully they don't do that, and hopefully they come
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: out and, you know, just ease my mind a little bit,
• 52:35
  Speaker 10: get to the round of sixteen game in Seattle, and
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: then we'll all be at least somewhat satisfied at that point.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Maam all right? So today Brazil, Japan, Germany, Paraguay, and
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: the Dutch versus Morocco. If you only had time to
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: watch one of those matches, which is one that you
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: would recommend.
• 52:56
  Speaker 10: Well, I probably only do have time to watch one
• 52:58
  Speaker 10: of those matches, to be completely honest, But the first
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: and third game. The Brazil Japan game, I think is
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: the one of the most underrated games in the Round
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: of thirty two, because I think Japan definitely has a
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: chance to be Brazil now. I also do feel that
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: Brazil have looked really good in their last couple of
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: games and they could easily make a run and that
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: side of the bracket is much more favorable, so they
• 53:26
  Speaker 10: really just have to get past this first game, and
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: I think they're in pretty good shape. But the Netherlands
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: Morocco game is the best game I think of the
• 53:33
  Speaker 10: entire round of thirty two, and not just today. It's
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: this and if you're looking at FIFA ranking, that will
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: agree with you. I think it's the sixth versus seventh
• 53:41
  Speaker 10: best team in the world, wow, that are facing off
• 53:44
  Speaker 10: in the Round of thirty two. So Morocco's really really good.
• 53:49
  Speaker 10: They're actually the sixth ranks team. So anyone who's thinking
• 53:52
  Speaker 10: that the Dutch are favored in this one if you
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: look at odds makers, possibly slightly. But this is about
• 53:57
  Speaker 10: as even of a game as it gets. I think
• 53:59
  Speaker 10: this is is gonna be the game of the knockouts,
• 54:02
  Speaker 10: or not the knockout stages, but this specific round. So
• 54:05
  Speaker 10: watch that one tonight if you only had time to
• 54:07
  Speaker 10: watch one.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good tip there. All right, I'm gonna
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: give you some tips as well. Don't be afraid to
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: throw anything away. You're not if you're on the fence,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna end up missing it, and you don't
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: want to end up being a pack rat. And also
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: lift with your legs.
• 54:19
  Speaker 10: Okay, okay, yes, not my back, goodalk, good call, I've
• 54:23
  Speaker 10: already done the hole.
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 54:25
  Speaker 10: Let's so let's let's thin out our closets here. Let's
• 54:28
  Speaker 10: make like, let's sell old furniture that we're not bringing back.
• 54:31
  Speaker 10: So we're we're about as light as we candy at
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: this point, so hopefully it makes moving a little smoother.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: And don't forget the baby. Yeah, make sure you move
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: the baby.
• 54:39
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, good point, good point. Okay, yeah, we probably would.
• 54:44
  Speaker 11: Don't forget tovot pavot.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
• 54:50
  Speaker 10: I have to make a sketch and show exactly how
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: we're gonna take the couch down the stairs.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do it pivot?
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Good luck. I mean, I do not want to trade
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: places with you right now, but I do root for you.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: I do want the best for you. I'll say that much.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you very much. At the end of it,
• 55:12
  Speaker 10: it's all going to be done, and you know, we're
• 55:16
  Speaker 10: going to be in a new place and I'll be
• 55:18
  Speaker 10: able to watch the Netherlands Morocco game later tonight hopefully,
• 55:21
  Speaker 10: so we'll see.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Happy little family watching their World Cup actions. All right, man,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to you soon.
• 55:27
  Speaker 10: All right, thanks so much, guys, have a good one.

• 56:12
  Speaker 4: the Seattle Kraken select from the Sussaint Marie Greyhounds, Chase Free.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: No way Seattle pon Chase Reid was going to be
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: there at seven. I think he's the privately, Hey, great

• 56:43
  Speaker 1: not trading away the seventh overall selection, using it to
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: take defenceman Chase Reid will find out in a moment
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: if he's an offensive defenceman like I wish for him
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: to be. Al Konski now joins us year. He was
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: part of our draft coverage, an excellent part of our
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: draft coverage right here on KJR, home of the Seattle
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Kraken and the Crack and Color analyst joins us here
• 57:06

• 57:15
  Speaker 7: wearing things that nobody wears.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, we care, we care, We care a whole
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: heck of a lot.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: We're actually giving away a grill today and you're the
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: grill master of the air cracking organization. So yeah, you

• 57:36
  Speaker 1: of grill, green mountain pellet grill, Oh.

  Speaker 7: to smoke, a brisket, smoke, a pulled pork, smoke anything. Really, Yeah,
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: have you.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Been doing a lot of that since last we spoke
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: to you?
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: I sure have you know? This weather is perfect for it.
• 57:52
  Speaker 7: I get up early sometimes throw something on for the day.
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: I'll be doing some ribs for the fourth of July. Honey,
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: saratcha rib I'm looking forward to it. Yeah.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Actually, and I can't wait to get over there.
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: I'll be there.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Wait, no, the invitation got lost. There's no other reason
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: why I asked.
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: Sure, have your emails? Yeah?
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Uh? Well did you have fun Friday? I mean, did
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Benton or Furness or fits you drive you nuts? Did
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you pull have to pull somebody sweater over their head
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: at any point during the course of the evening?
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you. As slow as the draft was,
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: and it took a long time to get through the draft,
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: especially that that first day, the time went by quickly
• 58:36
  Speaker 7: and I think it was because the guys around me
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: and the conversations we had in the last we had
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: along the way.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was a good day as a good crew.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Good crew, all right, So what did you think of
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: the pick? Chase Red?
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, uh, it's got a little surprised to get
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: him at number seven. I I looked up his rankings
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: prior to the draft, as we did our research and
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: after the pick, and there wasn't a single analyst that
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: had him at seventh. I think the highest I saw
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: was sixth, and most of them were in the two
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: to four range. So it was a real surprise to
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: see him come up at seventh. And you know, like
• 59:11
  Speaker 7: Jason Borel said, every GM is gonna say we were
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: surprised to be able to get him at our pick,
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: because obviously that makes them look good. But I think
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: in this case, they were ecstatic to get that opportunity.
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: He's he's he's an elite skater, he's a right shot defenceman.
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: His Hockey IQ is is excellent. I had him as
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: probably the highest hockey IQ player of the top ten
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: and probably the second best skater. So you're gonna see
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: a guy that can move on the ice. He's eighteen,
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: turning nineteen in December really end of the year birthday,
• 59:44
  Speaker 7: so you know he's he's a little bit older as
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: far as draft picks go, and you could see him,
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: you know, sooner rather than later wearing a crack in Jersey.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: M very interesting. Would you go as far as calling
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: him an offensive defenseman?
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: Now? Oh? Absolutely, I mean this kid's gonna he'll he'll
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: be a number one, number two defenseman. He'll he'll quarterback
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: the power play. You know. He he finds scoring chances
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 7: all over the icy. He's one of these guys that
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: you know, he sees the ice very well, sees guys
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: around him. He you know, he can he can bust
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: down the middle of the ice like Santa coming down
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 7: the chimney.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I liked what I saw that Jordan Stall
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: character and the Stanley Cup playoffs and uh and Cale mccar.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I know, we have our reasons to not like Cale
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: mccarr here in Seattle, but in terms of what he
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: brings to a hockey team, I want one of those guys.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: I want one of those guys out. I hope Chase
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Reid becomes one of those kind of guys.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: Well, Everett said, he's he's kill mccar a light, And
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: I always think to myself, Listen, these guys are used
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: to pressure, they're playing in big games, et cetera, and
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 7: all that stuff. But you know, I don't love comparing
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: him to another player because ultimately, you you know, you
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: want to be compared. You want others to compare themselves
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: to you. But that Everett did say that Cale mccarl like,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: and Cal mccarr is absolutely that kind of player that
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: you know thrives in the offensive end of the ice,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: and and you know he's gonna be Listen, there's there's
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: no surprise that that Seattle's had a difficult time putting
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: pucks in the net over the last couple of seasons.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: So when you see a guy like this come along,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: that's a very offensive minded defenseman that can quarterback your
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 7: power play, you get a little bit excited and you think,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: you know, what could this kid do? Playing with other
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 7: young prospects, starting with guys like Maddie Beneers who's no
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: longer young anymore but youngish, and going down the list, Berkeley, Catton,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: Jacobrien coming up. So it's it's it's gonna be interesting
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 7: to see how he fits into the future, and that
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: future is not too far away.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Al Kiniski is with this color analyst for your Seattle
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Cracking right here on the flagship Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: point three kJ RFM, part of our draft coverage Friday
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: here on KJR and so we're tapping into his knowledge
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: here this morning, as I do want to get into
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: some other subjects with you Crack and related here. Al
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: but one last thing on Chase Reid. I noticed that
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: you tweeted out that you heard the first conversation that
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: he had as a member of the Kraken and you
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: were impressed, energy, resiliency, goal and so why is that important?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Why was that important to your ears to hear the
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: type of character that you want from a hockey player.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 7: Well, I think it shows leadership. He was an alternate
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: captain on his team. It shows a confidence, a little
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: bit of swagger. You want a little bit of that
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 7: to you know, coming to the NHL level. Very well
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 7: spoken kids. So I think all of those, you know,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 7: they craft the player that ultimately is on the ice,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 7: and I think those are good signs. So I was
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 7: really glad to hear that from him that he's got
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: that kind of leadership mentality that will play well into
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: the locker room, not only initially but down the road
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: as well. You know, let's not forget too that the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: second round was also a good pick up for the
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 7: Crack and they picked up Casey Mutrin. Also, you, by
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: the way, both the first and the second round pick
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: for the Krack and US players born in the US Chesterfield.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: My favorite word is a Canadian Michigan for Chase Reid
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: and uh the Casey Merchant is from Norwell, mass So
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: you know, both these kids have grown up in the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: US and and draft in the first and second round,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: and I think that's a real indicator of how these
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: draft picks are starting to change. But Casey Mutran is
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 7: a big six foot three and three pounds forward, like
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 7: so you got a top puck moving defense to them
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 7: with your first pick and a in a big, physical forward,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 7: a shooting forward as your second pick that that likes
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 7: physical play, that brushes off opponents like Dan Driffs. So
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: you know, you got one and two for your your picks.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: Very exciting players and I think that I'm looking forward
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 7: to seeing what they look like here at development camp
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: this week. Which by the way, is open to the public.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: For the kracking fan who wanted to use that pick
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: to trade for a big proven player, big time name,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: big proven player, and then we got teased by it.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: Robertson for instance, Yes, Robertson for instance.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got teased by it last week and then
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: found out now he doesn't want to play for the
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Seattle Cracking And so then you go into draft night wondering,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, well there are other guys out there
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: worthy of the seventh overall pick. Maybe we're still going
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: to make a move for a big name player. What
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: would you say to that fan that even though you
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: get Chase Reid and that sounds like a good value
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: at number seven, that fan that's disappointed that we didn't
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: get a star player with that.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: Pick, well, I think that was always in the mix.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 7: And you know, Jason Robertson's name was thrown out there,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: and for whatever reason we'll ever know unless someone knows
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: him personally, he didn't want to come to Seattle. And
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 7: you know, like Everett always says, I don't want a
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 7: guy that doesn't want to be in Seattle. I want
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: players that want to be there. And you know, yes,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 7: that was something that could have played into the offseason,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: and it certainly was in play. But when it didn't happen,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: I think the next best thing happened, which was getting
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: a player that was not expected to be available at
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: seventh pick by the crack. And and again the fact
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: that he's an older player. The second round pick is
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: seventeen turning eighteen, whereas Chase Reid is eighteen. He'll be
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: nineteen December, just means he's a little further along from
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: a development standpoint. So that's a good sign. But yeah,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: you know, you would have liked to have seen that
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: big you know, one Sea Centerman winger get picked up
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: with that with that trading that pick, but it didn't happen,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: And now you're looking at Chase reading that spot, so
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: I like that.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: What was What is your take on Robertson choosing not
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: to be here? Kind of take us through the ark
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: where you started hearing about the possibility and then finding
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: out that it wasn't going to happen. What was Al's
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: reaction to the Jason Robertson ordeal if you will.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: Well, I can only tell you from a player standpoint,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: my personal view as a player And when I look
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: at a city as a player, I'm looking at it
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: not just for you know, how much money's going to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 7: end up in my pocket once I've paid my taxes,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: et cetera, but also what's it going to be like
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: playing for that team? Do they have a chance to win?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: What's it going to be like playing with those players?
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: Do I knowing them? What's it going to be like
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 7: with the coach, with the management, with the ownership, what
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 7: are the facilities like, what's the climate like, what's the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 7: travel going to be like? And you know, I'll go
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: down this list and I might wait them differently. I've
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: got to believe that, you know, income from the team
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: and chance to win are very near the top, maybe
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 7: one and two, but certainly in the top three or four.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: I look at those things, and if I think I
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 7: can get something better somewhere else, again, a better chance
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 7: to win, more money in my pocket, I'm going to
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: say no and go seek that out. Whether Jason Robinson
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: or anybody else that maybe the crack when we're talking
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: to get that remains to be seen. But as a player,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: that's what I'm looking at, and you know, I have
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: to believe this possibility of this millionaire's tax might have
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: spooked him a little bit. They don't know that, but
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 7: that could have been that could have played into it.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Now, since you took read and the organization seems to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: feel grateful for that he slipped to them at number seven,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: I gotta imagine they're not done wheeling and dealing. Does that,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: in your opinion, make Shane Wright even more so on
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: the block to try to pull off something of significance.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there are a lot of names that
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: are on the blockstain Wright's names have been tossed around
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: quite a bit. I think that free agency isn't as
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: prolific as maybe we thought it might be at the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: end of the season. So I almost would be surprised
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 7: if something happened with with Shane's name or anybody else
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: for that matter, during free agency. But I think the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 7: Kraken are going to continue to be aggressive. I give
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: Jason Bottrel full marks based on you know, what was
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: leaked about Jason Robertson and what has happened with Bobby McMahon.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 7: The signing of Bobby McMahon, which was huge prior to
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 7: the draft as well, thirty four point five million over
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 7: six years. He gets to be in Seattle for the
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 7: next six years. And you know, he had twenty nine
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 7: goals and seventeen assists in forty six games last season,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 7: so he could be a thirty thirty five goal guy.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 7: And I think going into the offseason that was one
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: of the boxes that I had on my chart to say,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: will the crack can be aggressive in the offseason and
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: signing Bobby McMahon was one of them, so that they
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: get that check mark. They added Maki Samuskevitch given up
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: the twenty fifth though we're all picked from the Florida Panthers,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: a young twenty three year old that's going to have
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 7: offensive contributions. He's a shoot first mentality kind of guy
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 7: that's going to have a good impact. That was an
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 7: aggressive move by Jason Bottrel and then you throw in
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 7: that that Robertson discussion, along with getting a kid that
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 7: wasn't expected to be available at seventh added to the team.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: I give him full marks for being aggressive in the offseason.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: So what do you make of our young nucleus, A
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: nucleus like Caton and Wright if he's here, and Neieman
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: and Reid Now and Beneers, how does that compare to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: other organizations, you know, foundation of top young talent.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean every organization's got it. And all I
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: can do is look at Seattle. Maybe you see some
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 7: charts out there coming out of the draft about how
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: each of the teams did. I I saw A next
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: to Seattle by a lot of analysts. But there were
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: others that had a's. There were probably four or five
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: that had a's next to them, Senos, A B and
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: one of them. But Seattle was very near the top
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 7: of the top maybe three, three to five teams in
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: terms of how they did come out of the draft.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: But the broader youngster youth picture, yeah, I like it
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: a lot. I'm I'm not sold that Shane Wright cannot
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 7: find his game here in Seattle. I think that the
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 7: right combination just needs to be put together with him
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: being a part of it. But if he is here,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: he along with Caton O'Brien and now Chase Chase Reid
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: and obviously not even years leaving that charge, there's there's
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 7: a lot of youth coming up that is really exciting
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 7: to see here coming in the in the future seasons.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: All Right, we covered a lot of ground, al I mean,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: did it work your appetite up. You're going to open
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: up the grill now, throw some you know, pork ribs
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: on there or something.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it might be a tender one night tonight. Ten
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 7: one sounds good.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I love it when the conversations I have stimulate
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: tender loin thoughts.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 7: You can never go wrong with a ten.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: Well, great to have you on, Thanks for joining us,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: so we appreciate it. And yeah, it's it's been pretty
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: interesting already this off season. And something tells me they're
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: not done. Don't you agree, No, I.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: Don't think they're done. And like I said, development camp
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: this week. Go see some of these youngsters and what's coming.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: And then things get a little quiet after the month
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: of July before we get going with training camp and
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: first preseason game, Chuck is September nineteenth, So two more
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 7: games in the in the season this year, going for
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 7: maybe two to eighty four and fewer preseason games. We're
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 7: going to be going quick starting in September.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: All right, Great to have you on. Have a great summer,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: all right, YouTube Chuck. All right, Al Koniski joining us
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: right here on Chucking back in the morning. Color analysts
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: for your Seattle Crack and part of our draft coverage
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: over the weekend as well. He seems to be pretty positive,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: pretty optimistic about way things are going right now. And
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Ashley, but I think about
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: the off season and you can't help it, you know.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: You talk to Everett and you've talked to Al and
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: I just picture them like vacationing together, like just you know,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: riding a tandem bike down a beach somewhere, wearing linens,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: soft linens, yes, yeah, and then with baskets on the
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: front of the bikes, yeah, exactly, and Benton's in one
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: of the baskets, yeah, obviously. And then they park their
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: bikes and they just have like a you know, a
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: soda water or maybe like a soft serve, and Everett
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: puts it on in the tip of Owl's.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: Nose and they just laugh, they laugh and loud.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: That's how I picture them.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: I think that's what they're going to be doing this
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: weekend when they're grilling.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 8: Because obviously I'm sure that Everett got the invite that
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 8: we didn't ours got lost.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he did as well. I'm I'm sure I'll
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: turn over every stone to make sure Everett shows up
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: at his barbecue.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 8: I bet that Everett was like, oh, man, I don't
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 8: know if I can do it on the fourth of July,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 8: and I was like, hold on, I'll see if we
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 8: can move the holiday.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: You move mountains for fits you, what will you do
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: for Ashley Jack Squatt. That's what we want to know.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: Al just tell us about your good food.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just tell us about what a great pitmaster
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: you are. I'll want proof mm hmm in the form
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: of lots of food. Yeah, meats all right, coming up
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: next on our little radio program. Yes, we do have
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: to kind of revisit that game yesterday. I mean, I
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: don't do Baseball Brunch every day on the show, as
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: you've probably been able to tell, but there are some games,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: whether they're good or bad, that you kind of have
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: to recap. This one was significantly bad. Sports Radio ninety
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. Thing that we don't do every
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: single day, but we have started repeating, especially games that
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: are either particularly enjoyable or particularly under our skin. We
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: do have to provide more than one recap during the
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: course of a four hour show, and so that's what
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the Baseball Brunch is. Just a little variation of Mariners
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Morning After from thirty every single day here on the show,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: and my friend Steve so Lee's works at the Como News.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: His son Zeke apparently told him when they were driving
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: the other day, Dad, why is Chuck saying bunch brunch
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: when it's really bunch.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 6: It's a great question, a great question.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: He is a smart he's a smart one. Uh so, yes, yes,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: it is baseball bunch, but we're just having some fun
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: with the words.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: So it's brunch.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: So baseball brunch today is unfortunately starring the Cleveland Guardians.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: Hammered down the line and fair Hotskins has given the
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: Guardians the league quoting scores. The latter's charge it home.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 5: He is tag hard tangg He's safe, he is safe.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: What happened there? It's a six to four Guardians lead,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 5: and this has an unraveled fast five runs across in
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: the eighth Denny for Cleveland.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Aaron with the call, tricky play two call. That's another thing,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, that we haven't even hit on. And
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: we've hit this game hard here during the course of
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: our show, primarily I've gone off on the bullpen decisions
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: by Dan Wilson. And if you've listened at all to
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: our show here recently. You know, I've had a big
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: problem all season long, even dating back to last year,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: and that doesn't seem to be getting any veteran. It
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: may have come to a head yesterday with those poor
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: bullpen decisions down the stretch that our manager made. But
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: there's another aspect of this team is okay, you are,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: You've painted yourself into a corner with your bullpen. You're
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: trying to get through the eighth with guys who've never
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: been in this position before, and it's not going well.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Where's that stiffened spine, that stiffen you know, backbone where
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: you're just like, well, if this thing goes wrong, it's
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: not going to be on me. But when things start
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: to go sideways, does the just not turn into a circus?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Almost every single time we're dropping balls and kicking balls
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: and throwing the wrong bases and everything else they could
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: go wrong, you would think that there would be some
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: element of, hey, got to raise our game. Dan's decided
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: to pitch Mike Rucker in the eighth inning, everybody else
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: has got to be sharper, and instead we get sloppier
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: as the game starts to slip away.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: Have you noticed that, Yeah, it does. It's it.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 8: It almost starts to seem like a comedy of errors
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: as as the games.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: Get out of I mean it.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 8: And that's why I wonder if we'd talk or joke
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 8: and not really joke about the fact that when the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 8: Mariners are down to oh, well we're down two, so
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 8: this game's over. But sometimes it does feel like that
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 8: because it goes from okay to.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: Real quick.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Well. I don't know if you can put that in
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: the headline, but maybe that's what I just should say
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: across the cover of the local newspaper.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: They were up four to one in the sixth inning.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: They removed Emerson Hancock for Edward Bizardo. He got one
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: out and they took him out, and then eventually they
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: ran out of high leverage pitchers because they only had
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: three to use. Andre's Munos is warming up for the ninth,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: but you have to get through the eighth. And in
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: that eighth inning with Michael Rucker and Josh Simpson, they
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: yield and poor defense, sloppy defense. They end up yielding
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: five runs. So the Guardians come all the way back
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: from four to one to tie at for take the
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: lead at six to four, and then held on for
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: a six five victory. There have been a lot of
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: times where Ashley and I have kind of wondered aloud
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: this year about you know, that very thing, that focus thing. Well,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: it was kind of nice to hear Cal sort of
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: point out, Yeah, I'm seeing the exact same thing. Our
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: featured guest on the Baseball Brunch today is Cal Rawley.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: Did a good job early. You know, don't come out
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: with a game plan. Some really good ats, but you know,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: we gotta keep it filling the gas. I think that's
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: the story of the game there. You know, can't can't
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: let off. I think, uh, you know, we gotta play
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: full nine. You know, come to the field ready, compete
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: for two three hours a day and.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Not an hour and a half.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: So uh, I think that's kind of what I saw.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: How do you guys turn the package after this one?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 6: One of the tougher lunch doesn't have this season?
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: You move on, you know, once you leave the locker room,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: it's over. But you know we've gotta learn from it.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: We gotta, you know, we gotta, we gotta put together
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: better nines than we're doing right now. You know, like
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: I said, I think we're doing a good job getting
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: guys on base of you know, starting starting out pretty
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: relatively good, or you know, vice versa on the back half.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: But you know, those are full nines to me, you
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: got to play all nine innings, sorr as you can
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of energy, uh, and then finally scrap and
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: call because you know, you never know when you might
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: need that extra one or that's kind of the extra
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: insurance is gonna help. And that's kind of what I'm saying,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: is that the frustrating part of the past couple of
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: weeks just it seems like you've created a ton of traffic.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: But again two for fourteen with runners in scoring position today.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: Ah yeah, frustrating, But you know, we we just got better.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, myself included, we all got to do a
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: better job of just executing with people on base and
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: and being you know, mentally discipline, mentally tough enough to
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: be able to come through in those in those moments.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: So it's not we handed to you.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: But you know, if it's easy, everybody would do it.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: So listen, this is toughitely twin of teams out there
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: that are want the venus every day, so we got
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: to bring it every day and and I.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Nobod's gonna feel sorry for us.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: You know, we can't keep you know, getting head down
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: or feeling bad for ourselves. We have to make that adjustment.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: And it's a tough league, you know, it's it requires
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: a lot out of you, and you know it's gonna
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: test your tires. And I think right now is one
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: of those times, and you know, how we respond to
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a big indicator of, you know what
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: the rest of the season looks like.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: Kyle Raley after the game are featured guest here on
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: the Baseball Brunch of six' five loss to The Cleveland,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: guardians in which the team was up for to one
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: in the eighth. Inning so it's kind of nice to
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: hear that the leader of the. TEAM i, mean if
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: you were going to hand out a captain's c it
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: would go on his. Jersey he hasn't quite been given that.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: Honor maybe he never, will but here him saying, that
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: he's saying the same things that frustrated fans are saying
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: about this baseball. Team and, yeah it does feel like
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: not every game they are locked in for nine, innings
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: and that's the least that we should expect out of.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: You that's the least that you should give us is
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: that we're not going to have any periods of lax,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: baseball even if you don't. EXECUTE i don't want it
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: to be chalked up to lax, baseball lack of, focus
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: lack of, energy lack of, effort none of no lacks
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: should come up in a conversation about a baseball. Team
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: AND i think that you can say that about this
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: baseball team so far eighty five, games end of the.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: Year, Yeah and you never.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 8: Want to question the professional athletes, efforts, RIGHT i, mean
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 8: that's a crappy feeling to have to, say, like, WELL
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 8: i don't know if they were out there working as
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 8: hard as they could, be because they're doing something THAT
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 8: i can't, do. Right but if we're watching the game
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 8: and thinking, like well they just, yeah they seem to
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 8: have these moments where it's like a lapse and a
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: lack of, something that's a frustrating place to be and
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: it does feel not.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: Good that's not the right.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 8: Word but it feels kind of cathartic to hear cal say,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 8: that to see to hear him say the things that
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: we kind of think but then don't really want to
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 8: bring it up because you don't want to be the
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 8: one that's questioning the, effort, right and so when you're, like, oh,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 8: okay so what we, Saw, yeah our eyes didn't deceive.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Us And i'm going to add one more. THING i
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: was gonna mention this in ABC's, later But i'll go
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: ahead and mention it now BECAUSE i think it's appropriate
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: to mention. NOW i have had it with laughing off
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: failure with this. Team you, know how many months was
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: the celebration save me the? Ball like when does that
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: stop being cute or? FUNNY i, MEAN i get when
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: it first, happened like we're breaking out of our, slump
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to laugh it, off but when you're still
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: doing it three and a half, months three months into the,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: season or you, know you finally score four runs in a,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: game and then the reaction, is oh my, gosh look
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: we've laugh it, Off LIKE i can't believe we did.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: It we achieved four runs in a. Game i'm a
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: little tired of seeing like stuff being laughed. Off should
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: be embarrassed that you went thirteen games without scoring more
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: than three, runs not use it as another reason to, like,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: oh baseball's. Hard, uh we're done with. It you know
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: that was supposed to be what it was with, This
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: i'm doing this on YouTube where you were shaking the.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Ball oh give me the save me the. BALL i
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: got a. HIT i found some offense that was supposed
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: to be funny that. Moment it stopped being funny when
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: you were still doing it two three months.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 8: Later, WELL i think they were doing it last year or,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 8: Too like they've done. It they't they've done that on and,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 8: off or maybe just maybe they've done it for the
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 8: last year and a.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 6: HALF i don't. KNOW i remember seeing like cal will
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 6: do it when he's out on.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: Second, well every once in a, while somebody does. It
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: but they were doing it as a. Team they were
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: doing it as a collect everybody in baseball does that
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: every once in a, While LIKE i broke out of
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: my over fifteen, SLUMP i need the ball as a.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Joke but they were doing it as a, team and
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: they've been doing it for.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 6: Months, yeah and it's not funny.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: Anymore, yeah Perform and if you've got people on your
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: team saying you're not performing innings one through nine because
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: of lack of, focus maybe we just stop, laughing, Right
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: maybe we stopped getting such a kick out of our.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: FAILURES i, mean maybe that's maybe that's a suggestion that
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: we could take to heart on our drive to the ballpark.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 8: Tonight, YEAH i Mean cal said. It you, know we
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 8: have to play more than an hour and a. Half
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 8: we've got two to three hours of a game every every.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: Day is that that much to? Ask you? Know game?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Face AND i know that's been joked about over time as,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: Well but can we not just lock? In it would be?
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: Nice three? Hours that so? Hard so what did we
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: learn here? Today number, One cal seeing what we're. Seeing number,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: two four runs is not. Unachievable and number Three dan
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: is not getting better at bullpen. Decisions it's just Not.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: So IF i sound Like i'm in a sour, STATE.

  Speaker 1: THAT i saw over the, weekend and it has to
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: do with that SPORT i like the, least BUT i
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: got to give it some credit here on this. One
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: it almost made me. Emotional we're going to talk about that.

• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: of an, hour BUT i think there's enough material HERE

• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: f if you. Wanted if we HAVE.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: I, mean let's just see where the alphabet takes. US
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: i like that.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 8: Idea see what THE? F, yeah that's WHAT i put
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: on our show sheet WHERE i give all the notes
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 8: for the show that we send to the, producers and
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 8: then we put on our podcast the first THING i,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 8: Wrote what THE?
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 7: F is?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: That? Right, okay well there's the theme here, Then so
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: we roll into our nine o'clock hour with the abcs
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: of THE ms brought to you By, Sunset Auto family
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: And sumner In. Auburn you just get more At sunset
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: and people do like. That and we are at the
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: beginning of the. Alphabet and there are few things that
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: we have gotten into About sunday and the entire weekend
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: and rather, viciously which we'll probably get back into again
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: with the. Alphabet we'll see where it guides. Us but
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: there are few things we haven't gotten, into including a
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: very first, LETTER a is For austin as, In Austin,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: hedges what did you make of that exchange with heat
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: And Josh naylor in the game. YESTERDAY i, mean it's
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: one thing to have a heated. Exchange Josh naylor seems
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: to get under people's, skin particularly. Opponents BUT i don't
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: know IF i liked that What Austin hedges was saying
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: To Josh, naylor did you catch?
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: IT i didn't catch what he was. SAYING i was
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: watching it without volume.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: On, well obviously they were former teammates and obviously don't
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: have a great. Relationship And naylor clear takes the pitch
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: in the arm and then heads down to first And
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: hedges yells something about him like leaning into the, pitch
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: which she didn't get out of the. Way you're supposed
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: to get out of the, way you. Can he certainly
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: didn't get out of the. Way and Then naylor said
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: something back to, him And Austin edges literally said to,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: him no one likes, you, literally no one likes you
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Like so that was him speaking on bealf of his entire.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: Team AND i will tell you not to stir up any,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: dirt But Austin edges and Cal raley are really. CLOSE
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: i hope he wasn't speaking on behalf of Any.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 6: MARINERS i don't think cal would even say anything if
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 6: he didn't like. Him, yeah WELL i did tell. ANYBODY
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 6: i don't, know BUT.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I hope, That, UH i don't. KNOW i, Mean Josh
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: naylor won us over as, fans for. Sure he seems
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: to be beloved in that locker. Room seems to Be
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: but he's a different, Cat there's no question about. It
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: he kind of marches to the beat of his own.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Drum he does some things on the baseball field that
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: if he wasn't on your team you'd hate him.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 11: FOR i would hate, Him, yeah BUT i, Exactly but
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 11: that's somebody but, okay but that's somebody that played with
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 11: him and obviously didn't like, him and is speaking on
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 11: behalf of the Entire guardians.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Organization so what it kind of led me to believe
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: and led me to think is that Maybe Josh naylor's
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: act did get old for The Cleveland, guardians AND i
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: hope that it doesn't here because of how much because
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: pretty much the rest of the day on social media
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: was spent With mayor and her fans SAYING i like, him.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah so defend.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: Him, obviously it's not everyone dislikes, him but for that
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: to come from a former, guardian and for that to
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: come from somebody Like Austin, hedges WHO i don't really
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: never has struck me as somebody that is a, jerk
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: but that was kind of. PERSONAL i hope That Josh,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: naylor who seems to have a good relationship with The
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: mariners players and with our fan, BASE i hope he
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't end up rubbing our guys the wrong way with
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: some of his, antics like he apparently Did cleveland on
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: his way out the.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 8: Door, yeah AND i DO i do wonder if maybe
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 8: those guys didn't have a problem with him when he
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 8: was on their, team but the second he, left it was, Like,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: oh that guy and the things that he, DOES i
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 8: don't like it because now he's on a different.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: TEAM i don't. KNOW, i AS i, SAID i didn't
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: hear the.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: EXCHANGE i actually ended up trying to turn the volume
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 8: up to see what was going on because they were
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 8: kept showing nail and he's turning around and he's grabbing
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 8: his arm and or Brad Uh aaron was saying, like
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 8: oh is he trying to say it didn't hit?
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: Him AND i was, like, well that's. Weird it was
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: pretty obvious it hit, him SO i couldn't understand.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: You oh. No they were angry that they didn't feel
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: like he tried in any way to get out of the,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: way and so he said something And naylor said something,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: back and Then hedges said to, him no one likes, you,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: literally no one likes. You AND i you, know he
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: has friendships with people on The, mariners SO i hope
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: that that isn't the. Case i'll just say, that, YEAH
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: i hope that's not the.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 8: CASE i hope that's not the. Case And i'm almost
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 8: picturing like did they go in and everybody was, like don't, Worry,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 8: josh we like.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: You we like, you, MAN i don't. KNOW i don't,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: know or Does josh not? Care and Then joshua was,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: like do something about, it, which, yeah well there's there's
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: something weird going on. There YUH b is for a,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: bullpen and let's face, it this is the uh the
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: big topic of the. Day i've already ranted about this,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: twice actually three times this, morning but ABC's at the
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: m says we got a rant about it one more.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: Time if you listen to this show for any amount of,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: time then you know That i've had a problem With
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: Dan wilson's bullpen decisions going all the way back to last,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: year certainly the, playoffs and then this Year i've had
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: even a bigger problem with him THAN i did at
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: any time a year. Ago AND i realized that he
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: is operating with a lot of different rules that restrict
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: him from just going out there and putting in the
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: guy that's the best decision for winning that. GAME i,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: mean obviously from on, high the organization has made some
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: determinations on who is available and for how long they
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: were available on every given, day And i'm sure that's
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: they go over that when they meet before every single.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: Game jose ferrer was clearly not available. YESTERDAY i don't
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: really know. Why the guy seems like a. Horse, yes
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: he pitched on back to back, days but only ten
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: pitches one day eleven pitches the other. Day it's not
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: like he was, overburdened over. Taxed if he got into
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit of, trouble you had other guys that
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: you could have gone. To but the decision was made
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: before the game started That Jose ferrara is not going
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: to be. Available, okay, FINE i can live with that
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: also very clear that this organization has made a couple
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: of decisions about whether they're they're their most, precious high leverage.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: Guys they're not going to go more than an. Inning
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: Gabe spier hasn't done it all season. Long Bi zardo
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: hasn't done it. SINCE i Think may second is the
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: last time that he went over an. Inning and obviously
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: they don't want munyos going over an. Inning so all,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: right we've got one guy not available because he went
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: back to back, days and we've got three guys that
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: can pitch no more than an. Inning, okay don't know
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: IF i necessarily think that should be a, Rule but
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: if that's what we're, stating that that's a, rule, fine
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: then you add another rule on. This it's not just
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: more than an. Inning if a guy comes in in
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: the middle of an, inning he can't go back out
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: for another. Inning so this is another thing that they're
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: not going to allow their pitchers to. Do and if
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: it's in the name of, health and it is a long,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: season WHICH i remind people all the time it is a,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: marathon not a. Sprint all, right there's another. Rule hopefully
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: we loosen these rules up as we Go, uh when
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: the games really do start to you, know not when
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: the games really do start to, like, hey if we
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: don't win, this we're in trouble kind of. Feeling maybe
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: the rules will change at that, point BUT i hope
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: that they do loosen up as we. Go but even
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: with all of, that even with all of, That Dan
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: wilson was equipped with the knowledge before the game, Started
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: Jose ferrara is not. Available The zardo spire And munnos
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: can go three outs, maximum and they can begin an
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: inning after finishing the previous. Inning so why are we
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: not managing around? That if you have that, information why
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: in the sixth inning When Emerson hancock's not even in
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: trouble and he's not over one hundred, pitches which it
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: kind of feels like the rule is if you're over
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: ninety five you have to come out of the. Game
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: it seems like to be another. Rule so If Emerson
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: hancock's out, there got the first two guys out in
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: the sixth he walks the next. Hitter he didn't look
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: to me like he was on his last, leg and
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: he didn't even have a runner in scoring, position and
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: he hadn't given up a hard contact the entire, inning
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: and we, decide with two, outs a runner at, first
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: with the eight to nine hitters coming, up let's Burn
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: bizardo's inning for one. Out so you, know you've only
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: got nine outs to work with with your three high
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: leverage guys, tonight and you've got four plus innings now
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: To phill excuse, me three plus innings now To phil
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: and so you're going to take one of the reliable,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: three knowing that you have three or four unreliable guys
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: in your bullpen who have never pitched in high leverage
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: situations with a couple of, exceptions and so you're going
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: to Burn bizarredo's inning on one out and then not
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: allow him to start the next. Inning that's. Malpractice and
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: now all of a, sudden you've just wasted a resource
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: for a third of an inning where you could have
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: just Let Emerson hancock see if you could get out
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: the eighth and ninth hitters with a three run. Lead
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: bizardo's used up for the, day spires used against the
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: lefties for the, seventh and now you get to the
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: eighth inning and you have to go to a guy
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: that has never performed in that role ever in his,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: career and you have your closer sitting, there pacing back
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: and forth in the, bullpen and you never even used,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: him never even got him out on the mound for goodness,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: sake because you're making stuff up as you. Go if
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have all of these, rules you at the
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: very least have to be able to do simple. Math
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: i've got three. PITCHERS i trust they're gonna have to
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: get nine outs at the end of the. Game so
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: you don't sacrifice two of those outs in the middle
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: of an inning where there's not even a threat to
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: be of a run being. Scored there's nobody even in
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: scoring position at that, point and yet you Burn bizardo
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: in the sixth. INNING i, mean the truth of the matter,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: is this is the Problem i've had With Dan wilson
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: for a year and a, half and it's not only
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: not getting, better it is getting. Worse he seems, lost
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: AND i am tired of watching him nervously stand there
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: and fidget and still end up blowing the decision to
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: who to put into the baseball. Game AND i know
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: That justin And jerry have some say on how they
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: want it mapped out before the game. Starts once the game,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: begins that's On. Dan he's not answering a phone in
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: the in the, clubhouse he's not looking at, text he's
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: not looking at his, watch his hands are in the
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: back of his, pockets and he's basically. Shaking oh my,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: GOSH i had to make a decision and they're the wrong. Decisions,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: yep he's bad at, it and So i'm going to
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: suggest one of two, things take it away from him
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: or take him, away because it's not getting, better and
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: it sounds like there's is no, no, no, No we're just
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: gonna get a more bullpen help so that we're too
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: big to. Fail if we have seven guys that we rely,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: on that we can count, on then he can't possibly
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: screw up the. Decision something's got. Change, Yeah so either
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: he needs a crash course on how to do it,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: right or he has to have the responsibility taken away from.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: Him AND i know That Dan wilson brings some good
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: things to the. TABLE i know. THAT i know, that
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: but this is his weakness and it's not getting. Better
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: it's actually getting. Worse AND i am tired of fumblefing
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: these games away because our manager doesn't know when to
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: go to the right guy at the right time in the.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: Bullpen that's.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 6: It it's.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Fair that's my. Speech, YEAH i like.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 6: IT i MEAN i don't like it that we're having
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: to say.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: It yeahs Four cal Cal rawley spoke. Out we just
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: talked about this In Baseball. Brunch cal says that you
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: know what we're Not we're not showing up for nine,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: innings WHICH i think is another. Problem it's one of
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: those things that we just as we discussed at eight,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: thirty that maybe you don't discuss outwardly as somebody that's
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: not played the. Game you, know you're a little hesitant
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: to accuse a baseball. Player you, know it's a slow moving.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: GAME i, mean maybe it looks like they're not putting
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: forth one hundred percent, effort and yet they might. Be
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: they might be locked, in they might be. Focused the
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: game just moves slowly and you're losing and it's not turning,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: out and so a baseball fan might react with do
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: they even? Care are they even? Trying they might react that,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: way but, boy when your captain says we're not showing
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: up for nine, innings that kind of empowers every single
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: person that is wondered whether or not the best efforts
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: being given on a night to night, basis and that
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: also falls On. Dan his job is to get the
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: most out of his, team and he's got his captain
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: saying we're only showing up for an hour and an
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: hour and a half per. Night, oh that's not a good.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: Look, no the team should be.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: Embarrassed oh AND i don't know if it goes that,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: far but it got far enough That kyl said something
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: at the end of the road, trip AND i would
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: think that that, Guy, yeah he carries a big, stick
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: but he also. Speaks he speaks. LOUDLY i would THINK
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: i would hope for this. Team if he's seeing, it
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: then we're not all. Screwy, yeah there must be something to.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 8: It, yeah and WHICH i guess in some ways is not.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 8: Rewarding isn't the right, word but it. Is it gives
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 8: you a little bit of vindication of watching this team
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 8: and thinking these things and getting frustrated WITH i, mean
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 8: we've talked About you can see it on their faces
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 8: when they get down or when they think that it's.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 8: OVER i, mean AND i don't know that that changes
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 8: how their efforts, are how they're, playing but it is
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 8: disheartening as a fan to watch it and be, like
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 8: now they look like they're done and the game's only halfway. Over,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah so to have them say it was kind of, like, okay,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 8: well at least we didn't imagine.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: It well on a day of. Frustration it was a
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: night of. FRUSTRATION a lot of people described it as
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: the worst loss of the. Year so you're going to
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: have A monday of sports talk radio. Fury it's just gonna.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: Happen you. KNOW i couldn't, REALLY i wasn't going to
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: come on here and spin it, positively BUT i would
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: at least say. THIS i, MEAN i don't think they
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: could play worse than what they have through eighty five.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: GAMES i still think they're, the if not most talented
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: roster in The American, league the second. Most it sounds,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: like according to all, reports that not only are they
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: in the market to add to this, team but they
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: might be shopping right, now which normally they don't till Mid.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: July they're looking for bullpen help and they're looking for a.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: Bat and through it, all even though they fell under
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: five hundred and they fell out of first, place when
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: they never even played like a first place team at
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: any time this, year you're still only a half game
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: out a first, place and you still have every opportunity
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: to do what you've done each of the last two,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: years and that is just catch fire in the second
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: half of the. SEASON i still think they're going to
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: figure it. OUT i still think they're going to pull.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: Away but this is just what we go. Through is
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: through the first half of the, season nothing but. Frustrations
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: and it's bad enough that you're having trouble scoring. Runs
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: it's bad enough that at times it looks like you're
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: not one hundred percent focused during the course of any given,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: game but when you start just giving games away because
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: your manager can't figure out how to get through nine
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: innings or a weekend series with his. Bullpen most teams
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: don't even have four reliable, relievers and we can't get
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: through a series without some sort of glitch and can't
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: go to a guy who's best for the job in that,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: moment and that to me is. Intolerable, YEAH i don't
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: have any more patience for it. Anymore And i'm not
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: calling for, heads And i'm not calling for anybody's job
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: at this, point but that aspect of that job either
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: needs to be course, corrected taught, up, schooled up or
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: taken completely out of his hands because he does not
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: know what he's.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 6: Doing game, Simulations i'm telling.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: You game simulations all, right coming up. Next. Uh you,
• 1:43:45
