1:26
Speaker 1: I would like to just bring up something, and I
1:28
Speaker 1: know I shouldn't do this to start the show, but
1:31
Speaker 1: I just heard this, like right as I was pulling
1:33
Speaker 1: into the garage downstairs, and it's another show. I know
1:37
Speaker 1: I shouldn't do this, But why is it that their
1:40
Speaker 1: talk show hosts will bring up by themselves something like
1:46
Speaker 1: the Lebron James debate and then say, I'm so sick
1:49
Speaker 1: of it, Like you were talking about the Cavaliers series
1:54
Speaker 1: with the Pistons. No one brought it up but you.
1:58
Speaker 1: So why are you bringing up something that you're sick
2:00
Speaker 1: of just to have a debate again? So I just
2:04
Speaker 1: heard that. Ye can we talk about this Lebron James
2:09
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan debate right in the middle of the NBA
2:11
Speaker 1: playoffs even though no one else is talking about it.
2:14
Speaker 1: I'm sick of it, sick of it, so tired of
2:17
Speaker 1: people talking about this. Stop talking about it? Please.
2:21
Speaker 3: Oh It's like, can we please stop comparing peanut butter
2:27
Speaker 3: and jelly. I'm so sick of every time people are
2:31
Speaker 3: arguing over which is more important.
2:33
Speaker 1: To the sandwich.
2:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, No one's arguing that they have to go together.
2:38
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of the peanut butter and jelly debate,
2:41
Speaker 1: which is why I'm bringing it up in the middle
2:43
Speaker 1: of your question about the NFL. Ah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:52
Speaker 3: I'll say there's a lot of stupidity on the shows
2:55
Speaker 3: before us.
2:57
Speaker 1: I'll agree with that. Oh hey, I also want to say,
3:00
Speaker 1: before we dive into some things, I want to say this.
3:05
Speaker 1: You do one of those deep dives. I don't know.
3:06
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't with a husband and a child. Maybe
3:10
Speaker 1: you know they're running your running your ragged and you.
3:12
Speaker 2: Don't have time most of the time.
3:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't have time to deep dive on things.
3:16
Speaker 1: But every once in a while, I'll just end down
3:18
Speaker 1: a road and I don't even want to. I don't
3:20
Speaker 1: even like it, you know, like, you know, just looking
3:24
Speaker 1: up sports stuff before I go to bed, just like,
3:27
Speaker 1: is there anything that I missed that maybe I'll think
3:30
Speaker 1: about and it will lull me to sleep. I am
3:33
Speaker 1: a counting sheep kind of sleeper, okay, but I don't
3:37
Speaker 1: count sheep. I usually think about something from the sports world,
3:41
Speaker 1: and then I can feel my brain getting lazier.
3:44
Speaker 2: I thought you're gonna say you count blue cars.
3:46
Speaker 1: No, I do. I like I come up with some
3:48
Speaker 1: sports topic and then maybe make a list in my head.
3:52
Speaker 1: And I can tell as my list is getting lazier
3:55
Speaker 1: that my brain is getting sleepier. And it serves the
3:57
Speaker 1: same purpose as counting sheep. So when I I can't sleep,
4:00
Speaker 1: I usually do that. So I know they tell you
4:03
Speaker 1: don't look at your electronics right before you go to bed,
4:05
Speaker 1: but I tend to do it every night. Well, last
4:07
Speaker 1: night I started looking at ten to fifteen and the
4:09
Speaker 1: next thing I know, I look up and it's eleven fifteen.
4:12
Speaker 1: And it's because I started down this path and you
4:14
Speaker 1: never know when you get down these one of these wormholes.
4:18
Speaker 1: But it was worth it last night because I was
4:21
Speaker 1: reminded of something that somebody pointed out to me a
4:23
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. There's along with Live this debate
4:27
Speaker 1: about who's the greatest guitar player of all time? Yeah,
4:32
Speaker 1: and everybody's got their own and you get around music
4:34
Speaker 1: people and man, it'll it'll go on for hours, you know,
4:37
Speaker 1: Jimmy Page versus Jimmy Hendricks, Keith Richards. No, No, it's
4:42
Speaker 1: bb king, Come on, you can't. We're comparic blues guitar
4:45
Speaker 1: player to a rock and roll you know Jack Black,
4:48
Speaker 1: all you old farts, No way, it's got to be
4:51
Speaker 1: Jack Black or you know, or Clark Junior.
4:56
Speaker 2: A lot of guitar players.
4:57
Speaker 1: There are a lot of great guitar players over time,
4:59
Speaker 1: but the debate is over the greatest guitar player that
5:03
Speaker 1: has ever lived, and it's not even close. There's this
5:07
Speaker 1: twenty like five year old Polish kid named Marchen not kidding. Yeah,
5:13
Speaker 1: that's what I found. And he's famous. It's not like
5:16
Speaker 1: he's just doing it out of his basement. But if
5:18
Speaker 1: you've not seen the video, trust me, I'm spending time
5:22
Speaker 1: in our morning show. I am delaying my Brian Wu conversation.
5:25
Speaker 1: I love this to give you something you're listening at home.
5:29
Speaker 1: If you are bored, you will not regret this. His
5:32
Speaker 1: name is Marchen is In, Marchen Gortat, the former big
5:35
Speaker 1: Man of the Phoenix Suns, m a ar ci In.
5:38
Speaker 1: He is a Polish guitar player. And the thing about
5:42
Speaker 1: the guy is that you know, like the guitar is made,
5:45
Speaker 1: and you see people play guitar and they usually just
5:48
Speaker 1: play the strings right, and then you're like, well doesn't
5:50
Speaker 1: that seem like a waste? You know, I just always
5:53
Speaker 1: assumed that the casing around it was no. Well yeah,
5:57
Speaker 1: but I always assume like the casing around it was
6:00
Speaker 1: just it was comfortable in your hands to play the strings,
6:02
Speaker 1: like you can rest it on.
6:03
Speaker 2: Your thigh or built for to facilitate the string.
6:08
Speaker 1: Right, you don't only just carry around strings, So you've
6:10
Speaker 1: got something like a vessel to carry around the strings
6:13
Speaker 1: that you're playing on the guitar. Well, apparently, as originally designed,
6:19
Speaker 1: the reason that they have that backboard is so that
6:22
Speaker 1: you have a complete instrument. Oh okay, okay, So like
6:26
Speaker 1: the bass is the bass, and then the strings are
6:29
Speaker 1: the strings, and then you got a way to adjust
6:31
Speaker 1: the strings obviously, and then and then you can use
6:36
Speaker 1: percussion on the guitar, on the wood that holds the guitar,
6:42
Speaker 1: or you know whatever, you know, metal, whatever you use.
6:46
Speaker 1: This kid plays the whole guitar, the entire guitar, and
6:53
Speaker 1: the sound that he creates is like you would have
6:58
Speaker 1: you would have never imagined that you would create one
7:00
Speaker 1: human being could create.
7:02
Speaker 2: That much sound, and he does it all by himself.
7:04
Speaker 1: And he does it all by himself to the point
7:05
Speaker 1: where people think that it is like it's fake. So
7:10
Speaker 1: there's one video in particular, and I had to. I
7:14
Speaker 1: practically woke up the unicorn to watch it. I know
7:18
Speaker 1: you're I know you're in deep sleep, and you got
7:20
Speaker 1: to see this. There's one video where he explains his process.
7:25
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable. I mean, you got to see it.
7:28
Speaker 1: The debate is over.
7:29
Speaker 2: You know, have you tweeted this out so that we can.
7:32
Speaker 1: I never tweeted it out.
7:33
Speaker 2: Because then we can easily find it.
7:35
Speaker 1: I don't want to be one of those people that's helpful.
7:38
Speaker 1: But his name is Marching and his videos are everywhere.
7:41
Speaker 1: You can't miss them. But he's uh, he's remarkable. It
7:44
Speaker 1: is one of the coolest things you'll ever see.
7:46
Speaker 2: I'm going to find them, So watch it today.
7:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, and let me know what you think.
7:50
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. This is one of those things where,
7:52
Speaker 1: like you hear people suggest things that you should go
7:55
Speaker 1: check out and then they're like, oh, yeah, whatever. Uh.
7:59
Speaker 1: This is one of those where you're like, you will
8:00
Speaker 1: call five buddies, You'll be like, you got to see this,
8:03
Speaker 1: or for the next week and a half, everybody you
8:05
Speaker 1: run into, you'll show them.
8:06
Speaker 2: Okay, that's how good you are. I'm gonna find it.
8:08
Speaker 1: He's unreal. All right, we've got a thousand dollars Grand
8:12
Speaker 1: Slam Cash contest. Word for you. It is coin co
8:15
Speaker 1: I n enter that at ninety three three kjr dot com.
8:19
Speaker 1: For your shot at one thousand dollars in Grand Slam Cash,
8:22
Speaker 1: it is coin c I n at ninety three three
8:26
Speaker 1: kjr dot com. That does remind me. I used to
8:29
Speaker 1: do this bit down in Phoenix because he was a
8:31
Speaker 1: Phoenix son. Marchin Gortat admittedly difficult. Marchin Gortat trivia like
8:38
Speaker 1: give me of that would be right exactly. So we
8:41
Speaker 1: would bring people on and then we would play around
8:44
Speaker 1: and it would be like, what is Marchin Gortat's mom's
8:47
Speaker 1: favorite color? So we would ask things. There's no way
8:51
Speaker 1: that anybody would ever get So then we had Marchin
8:54
Speaker 1: Gortat on the show one times. So I played around
8:58
Speaker 1: with him and he nailed it.
8:59
Speaker 2: Oh he got it right.
9:01
Speaker 1: Oh he nailed it. He was the only person to
9:03
Speaker 1: ever get one right, was actually march and Gortat.
9:06
Speaker 2: But did you have any way of verifying these things?
9:09
Speaker 1: Yeah he did.
9:10
Speaker 2: He did know his mom's favorite color.
9:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were ways to find out. Yeah, I found
9:14
Speaker 1: as obscure truthful fact about gor tat As I could
9:18
Speaker 1: possibly find that no one would know because no one
9:22
Speaker 1: did that kind of research. And then I would ask
9:24
Speaker 1: them and then they were like, how would I know that?
9:26
Speaker 1: And that was the point of it.
9:27
Speaker 2: That's really fun.
9:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get into some Seattle sports talk here.
9:32
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Mariners. They did win last night.
9:34
Speaker 1: We'll go through the details of the victory with Mariners
9:36
Speaker 1: morning after coming up at six thirty. But I think
9:39
Speaker 1: the headline yesterday was the bounce back from Brian Wu.
9:43
Speaker 1: He had had two inexplicably bad starts. He didn't seem
9:48
Speaker 1: too bothered by it. I mean, I think the baseball
9:51
Speaker 1: players have a lot easier time turning the page and
9:54
Speaker 1: accepting a poor outing than what fans do. And so
9:58
Speaker 1: I mean, he was all smile after both days, So
10:01
Speaker 1: he wasn't worried about like I've lost it.
10:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's been smiles every day cheering on his team.
10:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there was no And I certainly didn't have
10:10
Speaker 1: that feeling about him either. And then I think about
10:14
Speaker 1: Andre's Munno's I know a lot of people are worried
10:17
Speaker 1: that he's lost it. I just got Greg bell as
10:20
Speaker 1: I'm leaving the studio to hand it over to him
10:24
Speaker 1: yesterday at ten o'clock. He goes, still believe in Munyos.
10:27
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, yeah, why would I not? Like he's
10:32
Speaker 1: droves a thousand and has one of the most unhittable
10:35
Speaker 1: pitches in the sport the last two years, and yet
10:38
Speaker 1: he can't harness it. So yeah, I'm not. I mean,
10:42
Speaker 1: And just just to illustrate, I don't just toe the
10:46
Speaker 1: company line for the Mariners. There are a couple of
10:49
Speaker 1: guys that what I'm seeing, I think age may have
10:52
Speaker 1: caught up to them, and I'm not sure they're going
10:54
Speaker 1: to rebound from the performance that we've seen so far
10:57
Speaker 1: this year. We'll get to that in a moment. But
11:00
Speaker 1: Andres Munjos, Brian Wu, I'm not worried about them. I
11:04
Speaker 1: wasn't worried about them. And this is the sport of baseball,
11:08
Speaker 1: and sometimes what we're what we have to and I
11:11
Speaker 1: think we do forget about it sometimes is there could
11:15
Speaker 1: be a multitude of things. First of all, luck does
11:19
Speaker 1: play a part, you know. I mean, Andres Munjos probably
11:24
Speaker 1: doesn't give up a run two appearances ago. If Julio
11:28
Speaker 1: doesn't take his eye off the ball and let it
11:30
Speaker 1: go between his legs and center field. Yeah, he gave
11:32
Speaker 1: up a couple of hits that inning, But we've seen
11:34
Speaker 1: Munjo's work out of trouble all the time. That's kind
11:37
Speaker 1: of he's a strikeout pitcher and he gets out of traffic.
11:41
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not Fernando Rodney bad in terms of
11:44
Speaker 1: I have to load the bases before I.
11:46
Speaker 2: Can really roller coaster experience dig in.
11:49
Speaker 1: But he does tend to put a runner or two
11:53
Speaker 1: on base, and in the last game against Matt Olsen,
11:56
Speaker 1: that's not anything I'm gonna worry about. The hottest power
11:59
Speaker 1: hit in the sport hits a ball the other way
12:03
Speaker 1: on a breaking ball, on a slide, on a ninety
12:06
Speaker 1: miles per hour slider and knocks it out of the ballpark.
12:09
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just got to say, man has a really
12:12
Speaker 1: that's a really good hitter, really on his game, put
12:15
Speaker 1: a really good swing on that ball.
12:16
Speaker 2: I mean you gotta tip your cap, yeah exactly.
12:19
Speaker 1: I mean when Pokin Nakua is lighting us up for
12:22
Speaker 1: thirteen catches, sometimes it's because Poka Nakula is that good, right,
12:26
Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford is that good, and it's not because
12:30
Speaker 1: we don't have a cornerback. Where did our cornerback start sucking?
12:33
Speaker 2: Our defense is terrible.
12:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you do have to acknowledge that's a really
12:38
Speaker 1: good player who's really hot right now, who put a
12:41
Speaker 1: really good swing on not a great pitch from Andre's Munjoks,
12:45
Speaker 1: but he hit it the other way and out of
12:46
Speaker 1: the ballpark. And just to further illustrate that point, Jose Ferrera.
12:50
Speaker 1: Now it's now we've got this love affair with Jose Ferrera.
12:53
Speaker 1: And thank god for Jose Ferrera because we are down
12:56
Speaker 1: two high leverage relievers right now, and for said, I
13:01
Speaker 1: feel fine, give me the damn ball three days in
13:03
Speaker 1: a row. I don't care. And he looks great. Yes,
13:06
Speaker 1: so thank goodness for Jose A. Ferrer. But just to
13:10
Speaker 1: illustrate it, were a lot of people are gonna come
13:13
Speaker 1: on the airwaves today and praise Jose Ferrer, as they should.
13:17
Speaker 1: But he gave up a opposite field fly ball to
13:21
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen that went to the wall last night too,
13:25
Speaker 1: And because on a cold night versus a warm night, the.
13:30
Speaker 2: Ball doesn't carry as well, doesn't.
13:32
Speaker 1: Carry ten feet further. Farrer is a hero, and we
13:37
Speaker 1: are worried about Munyos. Well, I'm not worried about Munyos.
13:41
Speaker 1: Same thing applies to Brian Wu. And so this is
13:45
Speaker 1: somebody that really doesn't make it a mystery out there.
13:48
Speaker 1: He's not Logan, he's not Miller. They are constantly toying
13:53
Speaker 1: with their pitches. Brian Wu has three pitches basically, and
13:57
Speaker 1: he tries to perfect them, and he tries to them
14:00
Speaker 1: in the right spots that work for him trial and
14:03
Speaker 1: error over time. And this is what Brian Woodworth, excuse me,
14:06
Speaker 1: Pete Woodworth does. This is what he did with Paul Sewall.
14:10
Speaker 1: This is what you do well, this is where you
14:12
Speaker 1: get guys out. Don't be worried about doing it again,
14:15
Speaker 1: because until they prove they can hit it, you don't
14:17
Speaker 1: have to worry about that. So what we're gonna do
14:19
Speaker 1: is we're gonna throw you. We're gonna have you throw
14:22
Speaker 1: to the zones where your most effective over time, and
14:26
Speaker 1: Brian Wu has pretty much perfected that over the course
14:30
Speaker 1: of his young major league career. But that's a fine line.
14:34
Speaker 1: You miss by a little bit and suddenly that top
14:37
Speaker 1: rail fastball, if you missed by an inch or two,
14:40
Speaker 1: can get clubbed. Also, when you don't have that wide
14:43
Speaker 1: array of pitches, and you tend to establish patterns. Guess
14:47
Speaker 1: what the offense is studying. Guess what their scouts are studying.
14:50
Speaker 1: This is what he does in this situation. He really
14:52
Speaker 1: doesn't make it a mystery. He's coming out. So sometimes
14:54
Speaker 1: hitters can jump and when you are facing a lineup,
14:57
Speaker 1: you're off just a little bit. They're so good at
15:00
Speaker 1: the major league level they could take advantage of it.
15:02
Speaker 1: And then there's a third thing that has to be considered.
15:06
Speaker 1: And let's you know, lead in the Framber Valdez conversation
15:10
Speaker 1: from yesterday, there are coaches on every staff that are
15:16
Speaker 1: looking for you tipping pitches. Yeah, we have one. Danny Farquhar,
15:21
Speaker 1: the guy that blew the lid off of the Astros
15:23
Speaker 1: garbage can scandal. We hired him not as a pitching coach,
15:28
Speaker 1: even though he was a pitcher. We hired him to
15:32
Speaker 1: figure out not just are they tipping pitches? Is there
15:36
Speaker 1: anything we can pick up on, but more effectively, as
15:40
Speaker 1: a defensive strategy, to make sure we're not tipping pitches.
15:43
Speaker 1: We're not giving away any information. This is going on,
15:47
Speaker 1: This has been going on since the beginning of time
15:49
Speaker 1: in baseball, and there might be there might be a
15:53
Speaker 1: situation where both MoU Wu and mun Yos are tipping pitches.
15:59
Speaker 1: We don't know for a fact, but i'll guarantee you
16:03
Speaker 1: after two bad starts from Brian Wu, he's walking off
16:06
Speaker 1: the mount saying, Okay, what am I giving away? What
16:09
Speaker 1: are they picking up on? Because I'm giving something? And
16:12
Speaker 1: so the study went. They put on the film, and
16:16
Speaker 1: while Danny Farquhar's flying from one city to the next
16:19
Speaker 1: on a plane, he's got a cocktail I'm sure sitting
16:22
Speaker 1: next to him. Maybe he doesn't drink. He's got you
16:25
Speaker 1: who sitting next to him, and he's watching video and
16:28
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, all right, we've got to get
16:30
Speaker 1: our all star pitcher back on track. What's he giving away?
16:33
Speaker 1: Because I just don't think overnight he gets hit hard
16:35
Speaker 1: like that. And so here you have a game yesterday
16:40
Speaker 1: he takes on the hottest hitting team in the entire sport,
16:43
Speaker 1: and Brian Wu, in the words of Bucky Jacobson, shoves
16:46
Speaker 1: it yesterday. Was he just better yesterday? That could be?
16:52
Speaker 1: That could be where the Braves just a little worse yesterday.
16:55
Speaker 1: That could be last game of a series, could be
17:01
Speaker 1: or this also could be they figured out what he
17:04
Speaker 1: was giving away. He took that away from the braves,
17:07
Speaker 1: and then they had to go in there blind against him,
17:11
Speaker 1: and he dominated like we've expected him to do. So
17:15
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that go into this,
17:17
Speaker 1: But I just look at velocity. I see Brian wou
17:20
Speaker 1: Be in the same picture he's been when he's had success.
17:22
Speaker 1: I see Andres Munnos sliders off a little bit. He's
17:25
Speaker 1: still throwing hard, still striking out one in three quarters
17:29
Speaker 1: hitters per inning, still dominating right handers. There's something off
17:33
Speaker 1: about him, but certainly I'm not seeing anything that makes
17:37
Speaker 1: me worry.
17:38
Speaker 2: No, And I mean I did.
17:40
Speaker 3: The fact that brian Wu had two back to back
17:42
Speaker 3: bad outings concerned me, but not in the way that
17:45
Speaker 3: I thought brian Wu had lost it. I just couldn't
17:47
Speaker 3: figure out what it is that would cause him to
17:50
Speaker 3: have the two back to back bad outings. But then
17:52
Speaker 3: when we heard them say, like, we got to figure
17:54
Speaker 3: out what's happening? Is he tipping pitches like you just
17:56
Speaker 3: brought up. So the fact that they were able to
17:58
Speaker 3: figure that out from his last poor start till yesterday great,
18:04
Speaker 3: and that then we shouldn't be overly concerned about if
18:08
Speaker 3: our pitchers have a couple of bad games or have
18:11
Speaker 3: a bad game, because clearly the pitching staff is on
18:15
Speaker 3: it to make sure that all of those things get
18:18
Speaker 3: righted quickly. And when you think about it a picture
18:21
Speaker 3: and their routine and the things they do, it probably
18:24
Speaker 3: after time you do start to accidentally tip things because
18:28
Speaker 3: you're setting up the same you're doing all these things.
18:31
Speaker 1: And you get into habits patterns, so does cows you're
18:34
Speaker 1: doing Yeah, exactly, So I mean, good on Farquhar for
18:38
Speaker 1: figuring it out because it sure worked yesterday. And maybe
18:40
Speaker 1: that's not the solution. Maybe that's not, but it could be. Yeah,
18:43
Speaker 1: maybe that is what he was doing. I mean, it
18:46
Speaker 1: might be something else. Maybe the catcher's giving something away.
18:50
Speaker 1: That's something that we never talk about, but sometimes the
18:52
Speaker 1: way that the catcher receives they can give something away.
18:55
Speaker 1: I think Pete Woodworth is one of the best. I mean,
18:59
Speaker 1: I watched this game for a long time and and
19:01
Speaker 1: it is kind of crazy when a pitching coach can
19:05
Speaker 1: go out the mound to a struggling pitcher and say
19:08
Speaker 1: something and we don't know what they say with and
19:11
Speaker 1: then they walk back in the dugout and they fixed it.
19:14
Speaker 1: And he's not the only one that does it, but
19:15
Speaker 1: he might be the best one I've ever seen do it. Yeah,
19:18
Speaker 1: so you give yourself five days. You know, Okay, this
19:24
Speaker 1: is back to back bad starts from Brian. We're not
19:26
Speaker 1: used to seeing that. All right, what is wrong? And
19:28
Speaker 1: maybe it's tipping pitches, Maybe it's just a slight adjustment,
19:33
Speaker 1: Maybe it's maybe it's a pattern that we've fallen into
19:37
Speaker 1: and hitters have figured out the pattern, whatever that case
19:40
Speaker 1: may be. I think that's what what was creating Wu's problems,
19:45
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's creating Andre's Munno's problems. There
19:49
Speaker 1: are a couple of guys, and I said it on
19:51
Speaker 1: this team that I do wonder. I know they're not
19:55
Speaker 1: going to reverse age. I know Pete Crawford is not
20:01
Speaker 1: going to get laterally quicker. The rest of the season
20:04
Speaker 1: seems to be an issue to me. I don't think
20:07
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo's going to recapture his stuff from three years ago.
20:14
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I think he's on
20:16
Speaker 1: the down side now as he slid as far should
20:20
Speaker 1: he have slid as far as he has this season. No,
20:22
Speaker 1: I think he can be better, certainly than what he's
20:25
Speaker 1: been this year, but his days of being elite are
20:28
Speaker 1: probably over. So I'm I'm not gonna make excuses for
20:32
Speaker 1: all of the Mariners players that have had issues so
20:36
Speaker 1: far this year. I'm concerned about those two guys I've
20:39
Speaker 1: never been and I won't be concerned about Wu and Munjos.
20:42
Speaker 1: I think they're both going to be great before the
20:45
Speaker 1: season comes to a close. All right, let's find out
20:47
Speaker 1: what's on tap for the rest of the show. What's
20:52
Speaker 1: on TEP? What's untep? All Right? Mariners win over the
20:55
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves three to one yesterday. They do take two
20:58
Speaker 1: out of three in the series, bill an unimpressive eighteen
21:01
Speaker 1: and twenty record thirty eight games into the year, but
21:05
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get well on the road. They'll be
21:08
Speaker 1: at Chicago against the White Sox, who's been better this
21:11
Speaker 1: year but certainly not considered one of the better teams
21:14
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. So we'll start previewing that today.
21:18
Speaker 1: They won't play until tomorrow night. Brendan Donovan could be
21:21
Speaker 1: activated in time four that series, which is an interesting
21:25
Speaker 1: dynamic which we will discuss a little bit later on
21:27
Speaker 1: in the program. Bryce Miller pitched in Everett got some
21:31
Speaker 1: kind of lukewarm results, but they're not really looking for
21:34
Speaker 1: him to stuff the stat sheet. He's working on things
21:37
Speaker 1: he's trying to extend. They're getting close to a decision.
21:41
Speaker 1: I think he'll probably have one more reab start and
21:44
Speaker 1: then it will be time to make that decision on
21:47
Speaker 1: what we're going to do with the rotation going forward.
21:49
Speaker 1: We're going to discuss it again today at eight o'clock
21:52
Speaker 1: because I've had a hitting expert on this week and
21:54
Speaker 1: I've had a pitching expert on this week who have
21:56
Speaker 1: weighed in on what should be done with the going forward.
22:01
Speaker 1: So we're going to put those side by side later
22:04
Speaker 1: on in the show at eight o'clock. The MLB as
22:08
Speaker 1: a suspended Framber Valdez for five games. Certainly had a
22:12
Speaker 1: lively conversation about that yesterday, so we'll pick that conversation
22:16
Speaker 1: up today. At some point, the Jets and not the
22:19
Speaker 1: Savannah Bananas have made an offer to Russell Wilson, and
22:22
Speaker 1: so suddenly Russell's got a decision to make. Do I
22:25
Speaker 1: want to be Gino Smith's backup, or do I want
22:28
Speaker 1: to launch my undoubted superstar career as a studio analyst.
22:35
Speaker 1: I hope we got it.
22:36
Speaker 2: I hope he wants to be Gino's backup.
22:39
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later on in the show as well.
22:42
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Playoffs, Buffalo over Montreal four to two. The
22:45
Speaker 1: Sabers are up one to zero in that series. Anah,
22:47
Speaker 1: I'm even their series with Las Vegas last night with
22:50
Speaker 1: a three to one win. Tonight, Carolina looks to go
22:52
Speaker 1: up three to zero, but Philadelphia gets to host a
22:55
Speaker 1: game for the first time in the series. They'll drop
22:57
Speaker 1: the Pucket five. NBA Playoffs Philadelphia without Joel Embiid certainly
23:03
Speaker 1: gave New York fits last night, but the Knicks do
23:05
Speaker 1: move up two to oh on Philly with a one
23:08
Speaker 1: eight one oh two win. Meanwhile, San Antonio, I think
23:11
Speaker 1: Minnesota came and did what they wanted to do, which
23:14
Speaker 1: is when a game in San Antonio. They didn't really
23:18
Speaker 1: show up. Last night. The Spurs ran them off the
23:20
Speaker 1: court one thirty three to ninety five. Tonight, Cleveland at
23:23
Speaker 1: Detroit and the Lakers will be at OKC. Speaking of
23:27
Speaker 1: the NBA, we haven't had the chance to chat with
23:30
Speaker 1: the legendary Chris Daniels about the Sonics. If there's breaking news.
23:35
Speaker 1: He always seems to be on somebody else's show, so
23:38
Speaker 1: we're gonna take this little lull to just check in
23:40
Speaker 1: with him. Where do we sit with the Sonics. So
23:42
Speaker 1: we're going to do that today at nine o'clock with
23:44
Speaker 1: our friend Chris Daniels. Coming up next though, on our
23:47
Speaker 1: radio program, we will have details from yesterday's Mariners win
23:50
Speaker 1: over the Braves. It's Mariners Morning After on Chuck and
23:53
Speaker 1: Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. We have
23:57
Speaker 1: scheduled to play the uplifting song Monday mornings. Oh please,
24:01
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna do that, yeah, let us know.
24:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna need Sunday wins for sure.
24:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm gonna need at least I'm gonna need
24:08
Speaker 3: to hear the song at least three times a week. Yeah,
24:11
Speaker 3: and then I think we could get a Friday win
24:14
Speaker 3: as well, but we wouldn't play it Saturday.
24:15
Speaker 2: So I think we could go with like four wins
24:17
Speaker 2: a week.
24:18
Speaker 1: Oh fine, it's fun.
24:20
Speaker 2: We're asking for the moon.
24:21
Speaker 1: I agree, all right, So it is time for Mariners
24:25
Speaker 1: Morning After. Here Chuck and Ashley with you a highlight,
24:28
Speaker 1: a sound by a preview of what's going on to
24:30
Speaker 1: night Crickets, and so we get to yesterday's afternoon game
24:35
Speaker 1: at T Mobile, the Mariners taking on the Atlanta Braves.
24:38
Speaker 1: The Braves the best record in Major League Baseball, probably
24:42
Speaker 1: playing a little bit over their heads. I mean, they
24:44
Speaker 1: have been probably the most disappointing team in baseball the
24:48
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Meanwhile, the Mariners, we can all
24:51
Speaker 1: agree of underachieved to this point in the season. But
24:55
Speaker 1: an opportunity to take two out three from them, heal
24:59
Speaker 1: a lit little bit, maybe knock them down a peg
25:02
Speaker 1: or two. But it was all gonna hinge on whether
25:05
Speaker 1: or not the real Brian wu would please stand up,
25:09
Speaker 1: and he did yesterday. He kept the Atlanta Braves at bay.
25:13
Speaker 1: And even though the Mariners didn't light up the scoreboard,
25:16
Speaker 1: they did get a run to start the scoring in
25:19
Speaker 1: the third on a double play ball hit by Kyl Raley.
25:22
Speaker 1: Still can't get that guy fixed. And then in the
25:26
Speaker 1: sixth that turns out this is all we needed.
25:33
Speaker 4: See Press comes after him with that change up again.
25:36
Speaker 4: Hammer deep. Let's center fee. That's a big top. Old
25:52
Speaker 4: Brian four hundred and thirty six feet.
25:57
Speaker 1: Aaron Goldsmith day Valley on the call. Mariners TV Julio
26:00
Speaker 1: Rodriguez the home run. Have you noticed Aaron's is a
26:02
Speaker 1: home run? Calls have been better this year, yes.
26:05
Speaker 3: But I think he's been working on it, like knowing
26:08
Speaker 3: that it's going, that it's gone.
26:09
Speaker 1: No, oh no, he can't work on it. He can't
26:12
Speaker 1: fix that. He doesn't have good depth perception on that.
26:15
Speaker 1: But he's like if you started off with hammered, yeah,
26:20
Speaker 1: and that like that means like he hit it hard
26:23
Speaker 1: and then he can now kind of build up versus.
26:27
Speaker 2: Going like it did. He did, it did.
26:33
Speaker 3: But it was funny because yesterday when Julio hit that
26:36
Speaker 3: home run, I mean, Julio knew the second it left
26:39
Speaker 3: his bat that that was a home run.
26:41
Speaker 2: But Aaron still wanted to be cautious.
26:44
Speaker 1: He's been burned, Yes, too many times. He hates it.
26:46
Speaker 1: He hates it when he miss it. They all do
26:48
Speaker 1: when they miss. When they miss when they think it's gone,
26:50
Speaker 1: that's like the you know, you start getting sweaty under
26:54
Speaker 1: your pits. Yeah, when you've announced a home run and
26:58
Speaker 1: then it.
26:59
Speaker 2: Falls at the at the wall. Yeah, so iron.
27:03
Speaker 1: Joe Simpson the other day of the Atlanta Braves on
27:05
Speaker 1: a call with it was the JP Crawford call, and
27:09
Speaker 1: I loved the call. He just hit off the bat
27:11
Speaker 1: and you could hear it. It was great sound off
27:14
Speaker 1: the bat. And then he was killed. That was his killed. Yeah,
27:19
Speaker 1: that's all he said. So he just started with he
27:21
Speaker 1: hit that ball hard, but I don't know if it's
27:23
Speaker 1: gone or not. And he didn't commit himself. Yeah, and
27:26
Speaker 1: then he built it up the closer he knew to
27:30
Speaker 1: it being gone. I think Aaron's trying to apply that
27:33
Speaker 1: same strategy.
27:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say, yes, he has gotten better.
27:36
Speaker 3: But it was funny yesterday because I was like, I mean,
27:38
Speaker 3: you can just say that's gone.
27:40
Speaker 2: I mean, the way Julio reacted, you knew.
27:43
Speaker 1: Mariners went at three to one. The final score. Brian
27:46
Speaker 1: Wu was fantastic. He was the story of the game.
27:50
Speaker 1: He's coming off back to back poor outings, but yesterday
27:54
Speaker 1: he goes up against the best hitting team in baseball
27:57
Speaker 1: so far this year. One hit allowed over six innings.
28:00
Speaker 1: He struck out nine batters in the contest, and of
28:04
Speaker 1: course was asked about winning the series after the game. Yeah,
28:07
Speaker 1: it's great.
28:08
Speaker 5: I mean, you definitely want to build on it. I
28:13
Speaker 5: think that's the only thing really that we're looking for.
28:15
Speaker 5: Now is just consistency. You know, seen some really good
28:19
Speaker 5: stretches and then you know, next series just kind of
28:25
Speaker 5: lose that momentum.
28:26
Speaker 1: A little bit.
28:26
Speaker 5: So yeah, we got to start piecing some games together,
28:30
Speaker 5: piecing series together. Obviously we still have a long ways
28:35
Speaker 5: to go, but just finding that rhythm, consistency, you know,
28:39
Speaker 5: series the series. So just try to build on it,
28:43
Speaker 5: you know, rest on the off day, but make sure
28:45
Speaker 5: we you know, come ready to go when we take
28:48
Speaker 5: the field in Chicago. You're talking about not wanting to
28:50
Speaker 5: change too much of.
28:51
Speaker 1: Who or based on the previously starts, did you do
28:54
Speaker 1: anything different, did you assess anything different coming into this,
28:57
Speaker 1: and like what was different today? Sued are.
29:01
Speaker 5: Just try to simplify things. Honestly, feels like the last
29:06
Speaker 5: last two starts just try to do too much, think
29:09
Speaker 5: too much, you know, diving into scouting reports, maybe too much,
29:16
Speaker 5: Just like thinking too much. Honestly, I feel like just
29:19
Speaker 5: my best brand of baseball is do my homework before
29:22
Speaker 5: and talk to catchers and whatnot. But like when it's
29:25
Speaker 5: time to go on the mountain, just go compete. And
29:28
Speaker 5: I feel like I kind of got away from that
29:30
Speaker 5: the last two.
29:30
Speaker 1: Starts, all right, there you know, Brian wu not say
29:32
Speaker 1: anything about yeah, you know, pitch tipping or location or
29:38
Speaker 1: anything like that. Just overthinking. That's what he chalked it
29:42
Speaker 1: up to. Whatever he adjusted from his last started work.
29:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for not thinking yesterday.
29:47
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, just went out there just stupid and got
29:51
Speaker 1: the job done. He was stupid, he was sorry.
29:54
Speaker 2: Guys, can't think not today.
29:56
Speaker 1: So the Mariners do get the U win in an
29:58
Speaker 1: excellent job by Jose Ferrer in the closer role yesterday.
30:03
Speaker 1: Didn't want to use Munio's three consecutive days, but Farrer
30:06
Speaker 1: raised his hand and said, I can do it. Look
30:08
Speaker 1: how I'm built like a tank. I can do it.
30:11
Speaker 1: And he did it. He got to save his second
30:14
Speaker 1: of the year. Cole Young had three hits in the game,
30:17
Speaker 1: and so he raises his batting average to two seventy six.
30:21
Speaker 1: Three won the final score. The Mariners due defeat the
30:23
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves Monday, excuse me, Wednesday, and they take two
30:28
Speaker 1: out of three in the series. Today they will have
30:31
Speaker 1: the day off as they fly to Chicago and it
30:34
Speaker 1: will be to take on the White Sox and not
30:37
Speaker 1: the Cubs. Good thing, because the Cubs apparently cannot lose
30:40
Speaker 1: this year at home, so we might want to avoid
30:43
Speaker 1: that for a little while. But they'll take on the
30:45
Speaker 1: White Sox starting tomorrow, so a little day off here.
30:49
Speaker 1: And I'll say this about Brian Wo's comments, you know,
30:53
Speaker 1: building momentum. I mean, it's nice to hear they're going
30:57
Speaker 1: to try at least they're trying, because they are terrible
31:00
Speaker 1: at it. I mean that is I.
31:03
Speaker 2: Feel like every time we say momentum, they're like, no,
31:05
Speaker 2: we don't want that.
31:06
Speaker 1: I've never I mean, you might be the worst at
31:09
Speaker 1: doing something in the world, like you are, like me
31:12
Speaker 1: trying to put together an Ikea desk. When it comes
31:16
Speaker 1: to trying to build momentum, you don't know how to
31:20
Speaker 1: do it. As a group. You're terrible at it. Every
31:22
Speaker 1: time we think you're doing it, you just collapse. And
31:25
Speaker 1: then every time we're about ready to think we're going
31:27
Speaker 1: on some major losing streak, you win two out of
31:30
Speaker 1: three against the hottest team in baseball. So I mean,
31:34
Speaker 1: I think you're good at a lot of things. Think
31:36
Speaker 1: that's pretty well documented, and I think you're going to
31:38
Speaker 1: figure it out in the second half like you always do.
31:42
Speaker 1: But building off momentum in the first half of a
31:45
Speaker 1: baseball season. Good one.
31:49
Speaker 2: It's cute. You guys think you're gonna do that?
31:52
Speaker 3: Good one, Brian, You guys, I didn't know he was
31:57
Speaker 3: such a joker.
31:58
Speaker 1: In May building all momentum.
32:01
Speaker 2: What silly idea is that?
32:04
Speaker 1: Fool me a thousand times?
32:06
Speaker 2: I'll still think you're gonna do it.
32:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, you won't fool me two thousand, No, but on
32:11
Speaker 1: thousand and one. Yeah, but it's nice to hear you're
32:14
Speaker 1: at least gonna try. It's cute.
32:17
Speaker 2: Sad that I still believe you.
32:19
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up next May, I got ahead of
32:22
Speaker 1: myself a little bit with a story yesterday. I guess
32:26
Speaker 1: it wasn't a done deal. They're not at the finish line,
32:28
Speaker 1: but that is expected to happen today. So we have
32:32
Speaker 1: to talk about the goat Herders in the National Football League.
32:35
Speaker 1: Hugh Millen will be thrilled to hear they're all going
32:38
Speaker 1: to be back this season. Sports Radio ninety three point
32:40
Speaker 1: three kJ RFM the next blockbuster trade here with our
32:45
Speaker 1: professional sports franchises. Well, we're going to talk about that
32:49
Speaker 1: coming up at seven o five today. But Hugh Mellen
32:52
Speaker 1: is probably going to be very disappointed to learn that
32:56
Speaker 1: the NFL officials are likely to work out a deal
33:00
Speaker 1: with the league today. I reported it as fact yesterday.
33:05
Speaker 1: It was that they were scheduled for a vote today
33:08
Speaker 1: to ratify, and it looks like they are going to
33:11
Speaker 1: ratify it. So I got a little bit ahead of it.
33:14
Speaker 1: So I apologize that because I put it in the headlines.
33:17
Speaker 1: I think I just misread it. But it looks like
33:19
Speaker 1: today they will come to an agreement with the NFL,
33:24
Speaker 1: and so Hugh will get all of his favorite people
33:27
Speaker 1: in the world back for another season, untouched and unvarnished.
33:31
Speaker 2: Probably so happy, just toasting Michelle.
33:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, thank god, honey, are bad?
33:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, it worked out just how I wanted it.
33:42
Speaker 1: Don't have to be full time. No, don't have to
33:44
Speaker 1: do rigorous eye testing, don't have to do anything extra.
33:48
Speaker 2: They're just coming back.
33:49
Speaker 1: They're just coming back, just as they were, perfect little
33:51
Speaker 1: forms of officiating wonders. Thank goodness.
33:56
Speaker 2: I didn't make them adhere to any stricter guidelines.
33:59
Speaker 1: I might risk, like getting run out of town for
34:02
Speaker 1: a forty eight hour period doing a segment defending Major
34:06
Speaker 1: League Baseball umpires and NFL revs. Now I'm going to
34:10
Speaker 1: a little bit, and you know, what. It is kind
34:13
Speaker 1: of fun as football fans to rip on them. Yeah,
34:18
Speaker 1: and I do it too, and I think they should
34:21
Speaker 1: be better. And I hear a lot of what Hugh says,
34:24
Speaker 1: and I love when coach rips on him. Oh my gosh,
34:27
Speaker 1: Like Hughes is almost uncomfortable at this point because he
34:30
Speaker 1: hates them so much, right, but when coach rips on them,
34:34
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that might be my favorite thing
34:36
Speaker 1: that ever happens in life. Yeah, And so I like
34:40
Speaker 1: doing it too, and I like criticizing them. And I
34:42
Speaker 1: don't know what a season would be like if we
34:44
Speaker 1: just had all perfect robots out there. I don't know.
34:47
Speaker 1: Maybe it wouldn't be as fun. I don't know, but
34:51
Speaker 1: I will I will say this. I was not looking
34:56
Speaker 1: forward to a replacement refs because when we have replaced,
35:00
Speaker 1: it's a disaster in this league. And maybe some people
35:05
Speaker 1: out there think it's cute to have these crazy, weird
35:08
Speaker 1: games where call after call gets blown and quarterbacks are
35:11
Speaker 1: shaking their head because they don't think that the officials
35:15
Speaker 1: know the rules. You know, you really do figure out
35:19
Speaker 1: how you feel about another person when they're not there.
35:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, right, Yeah?
35:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't care if it's your husband and wife, mom, dad,
35:31
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Whenever they're removed from your life,
35:34
Speaker 1: that's when you'll figure out how much you value them
35:37
Speaker 1: or don't value them. Yeah, and when we don't have
35:40
Speaker 1: NFL refs around, man, Jean would be so happy to
35:43
Speaker 1: hear me saying this. When we don't have the first
35:46
Speaker 1: string NFL refs, no matter how flawed that they are,
35:50
Speaker 1: we miss the hell out of them. It doesn't look right.
35:54
Speaker 1: And certainly you know who misses them even more, the
35:57
Speaker 1: players and the coaches. So I'm glad they're ratifying this.
36:02
Speaker 1: I would like to find out later on today, once
36:05
Speaker 1: we do find out the terms that they have made
36:08
Speaker 1: some adjustments. I'd like to see a little more stringent
36:11
Speaker 1: policy on, you know, evaluating their tape and getting rid
36:17
Speaker 1: of more of them that aren't any good. I don't
36:19
Speaker 1: know if they'll go that far because the NFL refs
36:23
Speaker 1: union is pretty strong, but I'm certainly glad they're going
36:26
Speaker 1: to be back. I didn't want to spend one week
36:28
Speaker 1: this season with replacement officials.
36:30
Speaker 3: I would have rather watched Keanu Reeves and the replacements
36:33
Speaker 3: play than have replacement officials.
36:37
Speaker 1: That's a good argument, by the way.
36:39
Speaker 2: Like replacement players or replacement refs.
36:41
Speaker 3: At least the refs are getting the replacement player penalties, right.
36:45
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can go that far, but
36:48
Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying, But.
36:49
Speaker 1: I do see what you're saying. Yeah, But I'm glad
36:53
Speaker 1: they're working it out, you know, and hopefully the NFL's
36:57
Speaker 1: made some progress in some areas that we didn't even
36:59
Speaker 1: really we wanted progress on, and I would love to
37:02
Speaker 1: see a better version of it. And I get just
37:05
Speaker 1: as frustrated as everybody else because I don't think they're good,
37:09
Speaker 1: but they're a lot better than who would have been
37:11
Speaker 1: replacing them.
37:12
Speaker 2: A lot better than the alternative.
37:13
Speaker 3: And sometimes you just got to take that and say, Okay,
37:15
Speaker 3: that's enough, that's good.
37:17
Speaker 2: That's that's good enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, gets the job done.
37:22
Speaker 3: And what would be an NFL season if you weren't
37:24
Speaker 3: angry at the refs at least twice?
37:27
Speaker 1: You gotta yeah, yeah, you know, maybe like your husband
37:31
Speaker 1: does the cooking, and he doesn't make great pot roast,
37:33
Speaker 1: but at least he tries to make pot roast, right.
37:37
Speaker 3: As opposed to just putting in a cup of mac
37:39
Speaker 3: and cheese.
37:40
Speaker 2: And the microwave.
37:43
Speaker 1: So we're getting pot roast next year. Whether it's dry
37:46
Speaker 1: or not, we're getting pot roast. I appreciate the effort,
37:48
Speaker 1: all right, Coming up next on the show, we've got
37:50
Speaker 1: your headlines, we've got your cash contest word, and we
37:53
