- 1:57Speaker 2: You didn't have a softball tournament to go to. Did
- 2:00Speaker 2: you take advantage of it?
- 2:01Speaker 4: Uh?
- 2:02Speaker 2: You roll around in the grass? Did you do grass angels?
- 2:05Speaker 3: I did not do grass angels, but I did sit
- 2:07Speaker 3: in the grass, fake grass.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You didn't get sugars?
- 2:11Speaker 2: Did you know what's that? That's a little bit of
- 2:14Speaker 2: a bug that we have in the Midwest.
- 2:16Speaker 1: It'll get up in you. Okay, it'll get under your skin.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Oh yeah, uh huh, No, didn't get it. Didn't get
- 2:22Speaker 3: that because I was again, I was in my fake
- 2:24Speaker 3: grass in my backyard. So that's uh only fake bugs
- 2:28Speaker 3: fake Well, there are I guess some some real bugs
- 2:30Speaker 3: that sit there. But yeah, got to sit outside a
- 2:33Speaker 3: bit yesterday and enjoy it, and then we had a
- 2:35Speaker 3: we did have an end of your softball little shindig
- 2:38Speaker 3: get together outside of the park wait.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Man, how did the party goo? You had a two parties?
- 2:42Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I had bunko.
- 2:44Speaker 1: How did the bunco thing go?
- 2:45Speaker 3: It was wild?
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, that was wild. Did you post any pictures on
- 2:49Speaker 1: social media?
- 2:50Speaker 3: Diamonds posted one photo of the group of us in
- 2:53Speaker 3: our denim and diamonds. I was in the back. Oh
- 2:55Speaker 3: you can't really see mine, but the denim and the
- 2:58Speaker 3: diamonds were a hit. I had one friend that came
- 3:01Speaker 3: with a lot of tassels, like diamond y tassels. Oh wow,
- 3:04Speaker 3: they were awesome dressed on her jacket and her shorts.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I should have clarified they were not tassels like some
- 3:09Speaker 3: people might. She was not a showgirl.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Went there.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no, none of those kinds of tassels
- 3:17Speaker 3: showed up.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I was thinking of just your full scale Canadian tuxedo,
- 3:22Speaker 2: and I was thinking of diamond d tassels.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Yeah, just hanging from the pockets.
- 3:26Speaker 3: And that's what she had. Yeah, and it was Canadian tuxedo,
- 3:29Speaker 3: but short style. She she robbed it and yeah, so
- 3:34Speaker 3: that was fun. We I got the most bunkos, So
- 3:37Speaker 3: that was fun. I want some money, okay, And and.
- 3:41Speaker 1: You enjoy playing this?
- 3:42Speaker 3: I love this game. Okay, but we got started a
- 3:44Speaker 3: little late, so we didn't finish the whole thing. We
- 3:45Speaker 3: needed three rounds.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Oh that four?
- 3:48Speaker 3: And uh everybody stayed till about one am. Oh wow, yeah,
- 3:52Speaker 3: somehow five Iron was sleeping while people were rocking out.
- 3:57Speaker 3: It was a dance party.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Oow. Yeah, there's a lot going.
- 4:00Speaker 3: And all real wild, got real wild.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I don't even know what to make of all of that.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I know, And then I cleaned my kitchen till two am,
- 4:05Speaker 3: and then I went to bed, and then I slept
- 4:07Speaker 3: till of it.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Here's what stood out the most is that you said,
- 4:10Speaker 2: on one hand, we got started late, so we didn't
- 4:12Speaker 2: get to finish, and yet we still stayed up till
- 4:15Speaker 2: one o'clock. I mean, what did you start like eleven?
- 4:18Speaker 3: We started at about eight, and then everyone was just
- 4:20Speaker 3: over it. They were like, okay, this is going on
- 4:21Speaker 3: too late. We're usually done by now, start earlier. And
- 4:24Speaker 3: then they were like, now we don't want to keep playing.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So you just ditched the game and just.
- 4:28Speaker 3: And just had a party.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Wait in Yeah yeah, leaned into the alcohol.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, okay, there's a lot of wine consumed on
- 4:35Speaker 3: Saturday night.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Was there a mustache drawn?
- 4:37Speaker 2: On five Iron while he was sleeping, because I've seen
- 4:40Speaker 2: people do this before.
- 4:41Speaker 3: No, had he been a part of the party and
- 4:42Speaker 3: then fallen asleep on the couch, definitely would have deserved one.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Oh he just wanted to go to bed.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Oh guy, so he just went to real bed. He
- 4:49Speaker 1: didn't like pass out on the couch.
- 4:51Speaker 3: No, didn't even have a sip of alcohol. Just wanted
- 4:53Speaker 3: to go to sleep.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, I get it. I get it.
- 4:56Speaker 3: He's like, y'all are crazy, I'm going to bed.
- 5:00Speaker 4: All right.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Well, great morning to you all. We're getting started here
- 5:02Speaker 2: on this Monday. We got a lot to discuss today.
- 5:05Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, this is a really big
- 5:08Speaker 2: day in my calendar year sports talk radio wise, because
- 5:12Speaker 2: two different things start on June first here on this
- 5:16Speaker 2: radio program. This is how it's been built over the years,
- 5:20Speaker 2: and so we will tell you with what's on tap
- 5:23Speaker 2: here in a little bit what those two things, because
- 5:25Speaker 2: I'm guessing you didn't put it in your calendar you
- 5:28Speaker 2: listening at home, especially the non sports fans out there
- 5:31Speaker 2: who we're working on today. But yes, this is the
- 5:35Speaker 2: start of two different kind of big events here on
- 5:39Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the morning, and so we'll map
- 5:42Speaker 2: that out for you here in a little bit. But
- 5:44Speaker 2: certainly our show starts with the local baseball team, which
- 5:48Speaker 2: seems to be on its most significant role of good
- 5:52Speaker 2: fortune that we've seen so far this two month long
- 5:56Speaker 2: baseball season. A six game winning streak, back to back
- 6:00Speaker 2: sweeps and this weekends cost the Arizona Diamondbacks all.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Of their hotness.
- 6:08Speaker 2: We took care of that over the weekend, I mean,
- 6:11Speaker 2: a couple of really tight games, certainly in the batch,
- 6:15Speaker 2: and yet the Mariners do find a way to win
- 6:18Speaker 2: each of them, taking Sunday's contest and ten innings by
- 6:22Speaker 2: a final score of three to two. We'll get into
- 6:25Speaker 2: the details of that game with Mariners morning after here
- 6:28Speaker 2: at six thirty. Today also baseball brunch at eight thirty.
- 6:32Speaker 2: But obviously Ashley finally some good vibes. There's no doubt
- 6:38Speaker 2: that you know, there are stretches in a baseball season
- 6:43Speaker 2: where you can't seem to catch a break. Then there
- 6:44Speaker 2: are stretches of a baseball season where you do catch breaks,
- 6:48Speaker 2: And then there are stretches where you're catching a couple
- 6:50Speaker 2: of breaks, but you're also playing good enough, you're getting
- 6:53Speaker 2: great pitching that you can take advantage and put together
- 6:57Speaker 2: a little bit of run, and that's exactly what they're doing.
- 7:00Speaker 2: He went into this past weekend under five hundred, but
- 7:03Speaker 2: in first place. Now we sit here on Monday, things
- 7:07Speaker 2: can happen quickly. Two and a half games, a whole fat,
- 7:10Speaker 2: two and a half games up in the American League West,
- 7:13Speaker 2: and a whole massive, giant two games over five hundred.
- 7:18Speaker 2: It feels like we're stealing money at this point just
- 7:22Speaker 2: to be over five hundred at this point, but two
- 7:24Speaker 2: full games? Are you kidding me?
- 7:26Speaker 1: I know?
- 7:26Speaker 3: And I started to get a little greedy because, you know,
- 7:29Speaker 3: I was like, oh, we're we're getting first year, which
- 7:32Speaker 3: was my whole goal going into the weekend. And on
- 7:34Speaker 3: Sunday before the game, I was like, well we better sweep.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Like there, I was not going to accept a loss.
- 7:40Speaker 3: I was like, oh, look at me all of a sudden,
- 7:42Speaker 3: getting a little cocky.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Well, you always take two out of three, but hey,
- 7:49Speaker 2: no reason. Once you've won the first two, you just
- 7:52Speaker 2: approach it the same way and game number three. Just
- 7:54Speaker 2: win today's game and they'll call it a sweep, I
- 7:57Speaker 2: suppose at the end of the day. But we're just
- 7:59Speaker 2: about win in one game at a time. So they
- 8:01Speaker 2: got the job done three to two yesterday, and the
- 8:03Speaker 2: piggyback was again used for a third time, and successfully
- 8:09Speaker 2: once again. And I just I'm not really sure what
- 8:14Speaker 2: to do with all of you that just decided that
- 8:18Speaker 2: the world was ending and the Mariners were slapping you
- 8:22Speaker 2: in the face with the piggyback situation. But I hate
- 8:26Speaker 2: to break it to you, I really do. It's worked.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that Castillo was able to pitch
- 8:33Speaker 3: into the tenth went into extra innings, and you used
- 8:36Speaker 3: two pitchers yesterday. Yes, that's it, and you won.
- 8:40Speaker 1: And you won.
- 8:41Speaker 2: So you won two out of the three games.
- 8:43Speaker 1: The one that you lost.
- 8:45Speaker 2: It wasn't because of pitching, right, And the two individuals involved,
- 8:52Speaker 2: even though have been notably dissatisfied with how they're being
- 8:57Speaker 2: used during this stretch, but they are also two of
- 9:00Speaker 2: the best teammates in that locker room, and so it
- 9:03Speaker 2: wasn't affecting clearly from a negative standpoint, their performances. As
- 9:08Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I think in a strange way,
- 9:10Speaker 2: it affected their performances rather positively, particularly Luis Castillo, who
- 9:16Speaker 2: have seen do nothing but struggle until the Piggyback, and
- 9:19Speaker 2: I think maybe there is something Ashley too. Luis Castillo,
- 9:23Speaker 2: Bucky and I have talked about this for years. I mean,
- 9:26Speaker 2: he can look as good as any pitcher in the
- 9:28Speaker 2: game since putting on a Mariner uniform, maybe less so
- 9:32Speaker 2: now than when he first put on a Mariner uniform.
- 9:36Speaker 2: But there are games where he doesn't look entirely locked in,
- 9:40Speaker 2: and those are the games that I feel. I mean,
- 9:42Speaker 2: take for example, the cold weather games. He just never
- 9:46Speaker 2: looks locked in when it's cold and you know, rainy
- 9:49Speaker 2: potentially We've seen a couple of those so far this
- 9:52Speaker 2: year and he hasn't fared well. But when he gets
- 9:54Speaker 2: locked in, you know, Luis Castile can still be nasty,
- 10:00Speaker 2: and that's what we've seen since he became a Piggyback partner.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And I think there's an element of I'm not just
- 10:08Speaker 2: here for the team, but I'm also obviously having to
- 10:11Speaker 2: pitch for my starting job in the rotation. And there's
- 10:15Speaker 2: also an element of I can't let down Bryce. I
- 10:18Speaker 2: can't let Bryce do his job out there and then
- 10:21Speaker 2: I just fall apart. So I think we've seen laser
- 10:24Speaker 2: focus from him in these three appearances. Won a start
- 10:29Speaker 2: and then two times in relief, something that he's never
- 10:31Speaker 2: done during the regular season in his entire major league career,
- 10:35Speaker 2: and he's just been terrific. And combined, the two of
- 10:39Speaker 2: them have a one point six seven ERA in three starts,
- 10:44Speaker 2: and two of those starts they were the only or
- 10:46Speaker 2: two of those piggyback games, they were the only two
- 10:50Speaker 2: guys that pitched, which, of course is one of the
- 10:54Speaker 2: other things you're trying to accomplish with this. Is there
- 10:57Speaker 2: a chance that if we throw two goods starters, who
- 11:00Speaker 2: would be start in the starting rotation for any other
- 11:03Speaker 2: team in the sport? If we pitched two starters in
- 11:08Speaker 2: a game they both went, you know, come buy nine
- 11:11Speaker 2: innings and yesterday.
- 11:12Speaker 1: It was ten.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Can we give our bullpen an entire day off every
- 11:17Speaker 2: time through the rotation? Well damn if they haven't done
- 11:21Speaker 2: it two times through the rotation in a row.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it is incredible. I mean, yesterday, I
- 11:26Speaker 3: think they did have a bit of a better plan,
- 11:28Speaker 3: or at least the communication had to have been better,
- 11:30Speaker 3: because even on the broadcast, you knew going into the
- 11:32Speaker 3: game the goal for each guy was about seventy five pitches.
- 11:35Speaker 3: That's what they'd said, and both of them pitched seventy
- 11:39Speaker 3: one pitches. Yeah, I don't think Bryce seemed irritated when
- 11:43Speaker 3: he went out. This time you got to rock a
- 11:46Speaker 3: flex from from Castillo. I mean, I think I think
- 11:49Speaker 3: this time was better on all accounts.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Well, I don't know why.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I mean, there are things to criticize about this, no question,
- 11:57Speaker 2: and certainly we have on the show. There have been
- 11:59Speaker 2: things to create size about this process and trying it
- 12:02Speaker 2: for the first time. I think we should have expected
- 12:05Speaker 2: a couple of mistakes would be made along the way. Now,
- 12:10Speaker 2: I counted not using munos in the ninth as a
- 12:14Speaker 2: mistake the first time they tried it, that one run
- 12:17Speaker 2: game should be treated differently. Well, it was a one
- 12:20Speaker 2: run game yesterday and Munos never even got up Nope,
- 12:25Speaker 2: in the bullpen. I mean it was Castillo sent out
- 12:29Speaker 2: there to get the job done. The other thing was that,
- 12:32Speaker 2: from a critical standpoint, obviously they didn't do a good
- 12:36Speaker 2: job of communicating all of this, and I don't know
- 12:39Speaker 2: where the conversation broke down in the chain of command.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I don't know if it.
- 12:43Speaker 2: All lies on Jerry, or if Jerry trusted Justin to
- 12:47Speaker 2: do it, or if justin trusted Dan to do it,
- 12:50Speaker 2: or if Dan trusted Pete to do it, I don't
- 12:52Speaker 2: know what happened. I want to blame all four of them, Yeah.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Because somebody should have made sure it got communicated.
- 12:57Speaker 2: I'm going to give them credit for the interesting idea,
- 13:00Speaker 2: and I think it's been a runaway success at this
- 13:05Speaker 2: point despite all the criticism that continue to hate it.
- 13:10Speaker 2: It is unreal, but it's it's been a success. So
- 13:14Speaker 2: I give them credit. But I also blame them for
- 13:17Speaker 2: I don't think they had the best game plan back
- 13:19Speaker 2: in game number one. I think it was just so
- 13:21Speaker 2: foreign for Dan. He didn't know exactly how to execute it.
- 13:25Speaker 6: Uh.
- 13:25Speaker 2: And then obviously, if you're going to do something weird
- 13:29Speaker 2: to a couple of established veterans, something different in their lives,
- 13:33Speaker 2: you've got to explain it to them. It shouldn't have
- 13:35Speaker 2: taken two starts and two you know, two angry Bryce
- 13:39Speaker 2: Miller press conferences and one fit thrown on a dugout
- 13:43Speaker 2: for these two great teammates to understand exactly what you're doing,
- 13:49Speaker 2: how you're going to do it, and what it means
- 13:51Speaker 2: for them short term and long term. That should have
- 13:53Speaker 2: been explained. So those are a couple of things that
- 13:56Speaker 2: I think that they deserved heat four they deserved criticism for.
- 14:01Speaker 2: But I think mostly, you know, I'm leaning toward applause.
- 14:05Speaker 2: I'm leaning toward flattery. I'm leaning toward commending them for
- 14:10Speaker 2: trying something interesting and different. And you may have saved
- 14:15Speaker 2: Luis Castillo's season for goodness sake, because he looks like
- 14:17Speaker 2: a different pitcher right now.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Yeah, he really does. And I know that yesterday obviously
- 14:22Speaker 3: he had a wild pitch that scored one run, and
- 14:23Speaker 3: I think that's when a lot of people were instantly like,
- 14:26Speaker 3: what are that. I know we got one angry text
- 14:29Speaker 3: about why it wasn't working, but that could have been anybody,
- 14:32Speaker 3: honestly that did it and it wasn't. Well, yeah, let's.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Let's correct that. And I don't know what it ended up.
- 14:39Speaker 1: It ended up staying as a while.
- 14:40Speaker 3: I think they called it pitch, yeah, but that.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Was not a wild.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Yeah, they called it a wild pitch, but man, the catcher,
- 14:47Speaker 2: when a catcher doesn't even move and it still hits
- 14:50Speaker 2: his glove, that's a pass ball that was on parade.
- 14:53Speaker 2: And now he might have gotten crossed up, and that
- 14:55Speaker 2: might have been a really difficult play for him to make.
- 14:57Speaker 2: But any catcher will tell you, if I can put
- 14:59Speaker 2: a glove on on it, I've got to stop it,
- 15:01Speaker 2: right And so to me, that wasn't even a wild pitch.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Not to mention the trouble that he got in, I mean.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Because of the Mariners defense, Castillo.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Didn't get any help on the field last night yesterday.
- 15:13Speaker 2: I mean, for Cole Young and JP Crawford to both
- 15:16Speaker 2: let that little squibber get through the infield because they
- 15:19Speaker 2: both assumed the other one was gonna take it. Yeah.
- 15:23Speaker 2: I mean, that's what's set up the whole inning. That's
- 15:25Speaker 2: what put runners at second third to begin with. So
- 15:27Speaker 2: here's Castillo who walks a guy gets one of the
- 15:30Speaker 2: best players in baseball to hit a dribbler up the middle,
- 15:33Speaker 2: and suddenly he said second and third, and then his
- 15:36Speaker 2: catcher can't stop. A catcher's got to stop that pitch
- 15:40Speaker 2: with a runner at third, the tying run at third base,
- 15:44Speaker 2: or was that the first run?
- 15:45Speaker 3: That was the first run for yes, that was the
- 15:48Speaker 3: first run. That was when we were up one nothing.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Josh Naylor getting greedy and trying to
- 15:54Speaker 2: make the spectacular play. I mean, the Diamondbacks are giving
- 15:57Speaker 2: you an out. They're just handing you an out out,
- 16:00Speaker 2: you know, bunding a runner to second base. And Naylor
- 16:04Speaker 2: gets fancy, and look, he's got some We all love him,
- 16:08Speaker 2: but he's got some issues. He makes some really odd
- 16:11Speaker 2: decisions sometimes trying to do the spectacular rather than just
- 16:16Speaker 2: making the smart baseball play, and he throws the ball
- 16:20Speaker 2: away and that set up the run, the second run
- 16:23Speaker 2: in the game. So Castill was not getting any help yesterday.
- 16:27Speaker 2: So I don't look at my defense played terribly and
- 16:31Speaker 2: allowed the Diamondbacks to score two runs. To reflect negatively
- 16:35Speaker 2: on the piggyback decision that was made by the organization
- 16:39Speaker 2: in terms of how they were going to use their
- 16:40Speaker 2: pitching staff yesterday, Yeah, I.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Would agree completely, and that was my whole point. Yeah,
- 16:44Speaker 3: it was so funny to see all these people that
- 16:46Speaker 3: get fired up about it. First off for one run, right,
- 16:50Speaker 3: it was the with the wild pitch, yeah or pass ball.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Was that frustrating, absolutely, because it was mistakes that we
- 16:57Speaker 3: didn't want to see, especially not in the game that
- 16:59Speaker 3: was being pitched so well. So you don't want to
- 17:02Speaker 3: see your defense messing up and allowing for runs that
- 17:05Speaker 3: really shouldn't have gone on the board in the first place.
- 17:07Speaker 3: So that was the only part that was frustrating, and
- 17:09Speaker 3: that had nothing to do with the piggyback. That just
- 17:11Speaker 3: had to do with the Mariors getting a little sloppy
- 17:12Speaker 3: defensively after Castillo came in.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Or very sloppy defensively.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Castillo looks like a different pitcher. Yeah,
- 17:19Speaker 2: And I do believe that he can't excel in a
- 17:22Speaker 2: relief role, and I do believe that's where he should
- 17:26Speaker 2: eventually end.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Up in all of this.
- 17:28Speaker 2: But whatever this did to him to reignite his competitive
- 17:33Speaker 2: fire and reignite his focus, I mean that might end
- 17:37Speaker 2: up being the biggest windfall out of this entire process.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Forget the two wins, just to get Luis Castillo back
- 17:44Speaker 2: to looking like Luis Castillo as he has in his
- 17:47Speaker 2: last three outings. And if he kind of likes it,
- 17:51Speaker 2: then who knows what kind of role he could have
- 17:53Speaker 2: long term. Now, I do want to correct one other
- 17:56Speaker 2: thing from it going forward, and I should point out
- 17:59Speaker 2: going forward, they're going back to a six man rotation.
- 18:02Speaker 3: The road trip.
- 18:03Speaker 2: I'm really not sure why they're going back to a
- 18:07Speaker 2: six man rotation because they do have an off day.
- 18:11Speaker 2: I mean, if they weren't didn't have an off day
- 18:13Speaker 2: this week, then I could see why they go back
- 18:15Speaker 2: to a six man rotation. But to have this success,
- 18:18Speaker 2: to see them actually getting better and stronger with each
- 18:22Speaker 2: time they try it, I'm a little I'm a little surprised.
- 18:26Speaker 2: We're going back to the six man rotation. You have
- 18:28Speaker 2: Thursday off this week, and so they're gonna do that
- 18:32Speaker 2: looks like through the next two turns through the rotation.
- 18:36Speaker 2: But even if they weren't doing that, even if they
- 18:38Speaker 2: weren't changing anything else, I do think there's one other
- 18:42Speaker 2: thing that they should acknowledge and also implement. Okay, Bryce
- 18:49Speaker 2: Miller's one of our three best pitchers. He might be
- 18:52Speaker 2: our best. And that seems like a bold, hot take
- 18:55Speaker 2: on a Monday morning, but I've kind of been feeling
- 18:58Speaker 2: this way for a little while now. He looks dominant,
- 19:03Speaker 2: and so I'm not sure.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I mean, we could open it up to.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Conversation about who then if we if they do the
- 19:11Speaker 2: piggyback again, and they might not, it might be over with.
- 19:14Speaker 1: That might be it.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I mean, you never know if an injury is going
- 19:17Speaker 2: to occur, or you never know if you go two
- 19:20Speaker 2: turns through the starting rotation. You know, maybe one pitcher
- 19:24Speaker 2: gets lit up and it makes it easier to make
- 19:26Speaker 2: that decision going forward. You never know, right, this could
- 19:29Speaker 2: have been the last time we ever try it. But
- 19:32Speaker 2: if they do it again, I don't think it should
- 19:36Speaker 2: involve Bryce Miller. I think he's too good and I
- 19:40Speaker 2: could put together a list. I don't really want to
- 19:43Speaker 2: name names right now, but let's just put it this way.
- 19:47Speaker 2: I'm not sure there's a better picture in our organization
- 19:51Speaker 2: right now than Bryce Miller.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you're capping him at seventy five pitches, right, yeah, right.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I mean, the whole idea about not going to a
- 19:58Speaker 2: six man rotation is because you want, you know, your
- 20:02Speaker 2: best guys to be able to pitch every fifth game.
- 20:07Speaker 1: That's the idea behind it.
- 20:08Speaker 2: If you go to a six man rotation, now your
- 20:10Speaker 2: best guys are being used one sixth of the time
- 20:14Speaker 2: as opposed to one fifth of the time, and that
- 20:16Speaker 2: difference adds up over the course of the season. Well,
- 20:20Speaker 2: right now we're using Bryce Miller one fifth of the time,
- 20:24Speaker 2: and then within that we're only using them for seventy
- 20:27Speaker 2: to seventy five pitches. That might be a waste of
- 20:31Speaker 2: what might be our best pitcher right now. So that
- 20:34Speaker 2: is one thing that I would adjust. And so if
- 20:36Speaker 2: they do it again, if we emerge on the other
- 20:39Speaker 2: side of two turns through a six man rotation and
- 20:42Speaker 2: they want to go back to it, my hunch is
- 20:46Speaker 2: they don't go back to using Miller.
- 20:47Speaker 1: It would be Castillo and someone else. That's my hunch.
- 20:51Speaker 3: I could see that happening. I wonder if they feel
- 20:54Speaker 3: like they disrupt more by switching who it is, but
- 20:58Speaker 3: I could definitely see them try ain't it out with another,
- 21:01Speaker 3: with another pitcher and seeing what happens with Miller going
- 21:03Speaker 3: to you know, seven innings.
- 21:05Speaker 2: All right, Well, we're underway here on this Monday. Let's
- 21:08Speaker 2: find out what's on tap? What's on tap?
- 21:14Speaker 4: What's on tap?
- 21:15Speaker 1: All right?
- 21:15Speaker 2: Mariner's three diamondbacks and ten innings. Menday Mariners Morning After
- 21:20Speaker 2: comes your way at six thirty tonight. It's the Mets
- 21:23Speaker 2: coming in town. So first pitch six forty and it's
- 21:27Speaker 2: going to be Emerson Hancock versus an opener for the
- 21:29Speaker 2: New York Mets, which we will discuss here in a
- 21:32Speaker 2: little bit.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Bad day for UCLA Sports, and that really breaks up
- 21:36Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan.
- 21:38Speaker 2: It really does bother.
- 21:39Speaker 1: It really hurts her soul.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I felt so bad for them.
- 21:42Speaker 2: In one day, they lost their number one rank baseball
- 21:46Speaker 2: team YEP, and also lost what many believed was the
- 21:49Speaker 2: favorite to win the softball title as well, and one
- 21:53Speaker 2: day lost them both.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I know.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Uh.
- 21:57Speaker 2: The Women's College World Series has reached its five four stage.
- 22:01Speaker 2: So right now you've got Tennessee and Alabama in the
- 22:04Speaker 2: drivers seats. So that means Texas and Texas Tech would
- 22:10Speaker 2: have to win back to back games today in order
- 22:13Speaker 2: to advance on to the finals. But they will play
- 22:18Speaker 2: potentially four softball games today in the.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Women's College World Series. And it is a great product.
- 22:24Speaker 2: I've really been watching a lot of it.
- 22:26Speaker 1: It is really enjoyable.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Ye Storm taking on the Dallas Wings tonight at five o'clock.
- 22:31Speaker 2: That'll be in Dallas against Page Beckers. NBA Finals is set.
- 22:35Speaker 2: We certainly will talk about this quite a bit today.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Spencer Hawes will join us at nine o'clock to preview
- 22:40Speaker 2: Spurs Nicks. They will debut on Wednesday. Stanley Cup finals
- 22:45Speaker 2: will start tomorrow. Carolina versus Vegas is the matchup. It
- 22:50Speaker 2: is aj Brown Day kind of the Philadelphia Eagles wide
- 22:55Speaker 2: receiver is expected to end up with the New England Patriots,
- 22:58Speaker 2: and maybe as early as today June first, a date
- 23:02Speaker 2: that has been circled in the NFL calendar because of
- 23:05Speaker 2: contractual things that change with aj Brown, it makes them
- 23:08Speaker 2: easier to trade starting today.
- 23:11Speaker 1: The Hawks lost their.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Assistant general manager over the weekend to the Minnesota Vikings,
- 23:16Speaker 2: but are going to get some draft pick compensation for that.
- 23:18Speaker 2: We'll talk about that later on in the show. And
- 23:21Speaker 2: our one series begins today. Corbyn Smith will lead us
- 23:26Speaker 2: off in twenty twenty six. That is one insider breaking
- 23:30Speaker 2: down one key Seahawk player for one entire interview. We've
- 23:33Speaker 2: been doing this every year now for years, and so
- 23:36Speaker 2: Corbyn Smith leads us off today at eight o'clock. We
- 23:39Speaker 2: look forward to chatting with him. Also, trade season begins
- 23:44Speaker 2: today in Major League Baseball, so we will dust that
- 23:47Speaker 2: topic off today as well. Two of my favorite days
- 23:51Speaker 2: on the entire sports calendar, so we'll get that started.
- 23:54Speaker 2: And the World Cups in two weeks, all right, Coming
- 23:57Speaker 2: up next though, Mariners Morning after Whort's Radio ninety three
- 24:00Speaker 2: point three kh A r f M kind of smells
- 24:03Speaker 2: couldn't cross over into the cologne world or into the.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Uh you know, renews it or Glade.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Air freshener world. Yeah, why couldn't you just put like,
- 24:12Speaker 2: you know, freshly pop popcorn smell in your in your house.
- 24:18Speaker 2: I mean, I could get why you may not want
- 24:21Speaker 2: to do.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Meat might get a little old after a little.
- 24:24Speaker 2: While, But those are the smells that really grab our attention,
- 24:27Speaker 2: like makes it so cozy. Yeah, freshly baked bread, like
- 24:30Speaker 2: just plug that into the wall, even if you don't
- 24:33Speaker 2: even have bread.
- 24:34Speaker 3: They do cookies, right, and things like that.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Cookies.
- 24:36Speaker 3: I mean, there's smells candles and things that smell like cookies.
- 24:41Speaker 2: But I think you know what I think it is.
- 24:42Speaker 2: I don't think that they actually do nail the smell.
- 24:45Speaker 2: It always smells like artificials smell sickly. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they don't. But man, if Ralph Lorenz
- 24:52Speaker 2: came out with a you know, barbecue ribs cologne, just
- 24:59Speaker 2: the ladies flock, that's for sure.
- 25:02Speaker 1: If not the ladies, the men, Yes.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Somebody, somebody's gonna flock.
- 25:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some attention paid to me one way
- 25:07Speaker 1: or the other.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Sure, people are gonna get really irritated when they realize
- 25:11Speaker 3: it's cologne and there's not actual food. That's not They're
- 25:13Speaker 3: like somebody cooking ribs.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Can I see in your pockets?
- 25:16Speaker 3: Just chuck again?
- 25:17Speaker 2: Can I see in your pocket's handsome? All right? It's
- 25:20Speaker 2: time for Mariners Morning after right here on Chuck and
- 25:24Speaker 2: Buck in the Morning's it's our postgame show. We just
- 25:27Speaker 2: do it the morning after every Mariner game right here
- 25:30Speaker 2: at six point thirty. A highlight, a SoundBite, a preview
- 25:33Speaker 2: of what's going on tonight, and we will begin with
- 25:36Speaker 2: that highlight. So a low scoring affair. It was Piggyback three,
- 25:41Speaker 2: the trilogy. You know a lot of people really anticipating
- 25:44Speaker 2: the third one. They were, so they're such a cliffhanger
- 25:47Speaker 2: after Piggyback two in theaters.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Right well, rightfully. So you had one that worked perfectly,
- 25:53Speaker 3: one that almost worked perfectly. How was the third gonna go?
- 25:57Speaker 2: How was the third going to go?
- 25:59Speaker 1: Well?
- 25:59Speaker 2: Quite swiftly for Bryce Miller, I mean he was mowing
- 26:02Speaker 2: fools down once again, five shutout innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
- 26:07Speaker 2: As the Mariners were looking for the sweep, they also
- 26:10Speaker 2: held a one nothing lead thanks to a Cole Young
- 26:13Speaker 2: home run, and then we go into the sixth, then
- 26:15Speaker 2: of course it's the piggyback, and so Bryce Miller, even
- 26:19Speaker 2: with a one hitch shutout, knew he was coming out
- 26:22Speaker 2: of the game after the fifth so that Luis Castillo
- 26:24Speaker 2: could get his work in as well. And Castillo didn't
- 26:28Speaker 2: get much help from his defense. Next thing you know,
- 26:31Speaker 2: we're tied at one and anger spilled fourth from the
- 26:33Speaker 2: community under one in the six but Don Canzone gets
- 26:39Speaker 2: it right back.
- 26:39Speaker 1: He had a really good day yesterday.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Mariners take a two to one lead thanks to Canzone's
- 26:44Speaker 2: home run to make it two to one. It would
- 26:47Speaker 2: stay that way until the eighth, and then once again,
- 26:50Speaker 2: the Mariners defense lets down Luis Castillo for a second
- 26:54Speaker 2: run to tie the game at two runs apiece, but
- 26:57Speaker 2: Castillo kept on a hurling he paid all the way
- 27:01Speaker 2: into the tenth inning. So five for Miller, five from Castillo.
- 27:06Speaker 2: How many starting pitchers do you ever see pitch the
- 27:10Speaker 2: tenth inning in a major league baseball game? Luis Castillo
- 27:13Speaker 2: took them ound in the tenth and even with the
- 27:16Speaker 2: automatic runner being sent to second base, he gets out
- 27:19Speaker 2: of that frame without surrendering a run. And so now
- 27:22Speaker 2: it's easy, right, We just got to score a run.
- 27:25Speaker 2: We get to start the bottom of the tenth with
- 27:27Speaker 2: a runner at second base. They walk Luke Rayley to
- 27:30Speaker 2: start the inning, so we got two to one. Cole
- 27:33Speaker 2: Young lays down a bunt like he's been doing in
- 27:35Speaker 2: his entire life, gets runners to second and third. But
- 27:39Speaker 2: we don't have canzone in the game anymore, and Arizona
- 27:43Speaker 2: has a righty.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Could roll Blaze actually get a hit against a rioting.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Victor Rollblaz steps to the plate.
- 27:51Speaker 4: Victor Roeblaze has never offered a walk off win in
- 27:54Speaker 4: his career.
- 27:56Speaker 1: What a time to get.
- 27:57Speaker 5: The first crowd ball tackle bubble.
- 28:07Speaker 4: They slipped the diamond Backs on a series that has
- 28:16Speaker 4: been defined by the home run ball. For the Mariners,
- 28:20Speaker 4: it's a cue ball to shortstop Ben wins In and
- 28:23Speaker 4: author's Victor Roblade since first walk on plate appearance in
- 28:28Speaker 4: his career.
- 28:29Speaker 1: It's nice to see.
- 28:30Speaker 2: It's nice to see your Roblades get celebrated by his teammates.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Man, he's had a couple of rough years with injuries.
- 28:36Speaker 2: He's in a short sighted platoon right now and pretty
- 28:40Speaker 2: much gets taken out of every game he starts at
- 28:42Speaker 2: some point. So for him to come in pinch run
- 28:45Speaker 2: for can Zone, who was having a great night at
- 28:48Speaker 2: the plate, and then his number gets called there in
- 28:51Speaker 2: the tenth inning, and no, he didn't crush the baseball, but.
- 28:55Speaker 1: He put it in play.
- 28:56Speaker 3: That's all you got it.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Second and third, with the kind of speed that was
- 29:00Speaker 2: on the base paths in the bottom of the tenth
- 29:02Speaker 2: he puts the ball in play. Perdomo does a nice
- 29:05Speaker 2: job of getting to it. But even if he would
- 29:08Speaker 2: have caught it cleanly, I don't think he's thrown out
- 29:10Speaker 2: Randy or Rose Arena from his knees after a dive.
- 29:13Speaker 2: So a clean single infield, single for Roeblaze in essence,
- 29:17Speaker 2: and the Mariners win three two.
- 29:19Speaker 3: Just how we drew it up, Just how we drew
- 29:22Speaker 3: it up. It was. It was fun to see though
- 29:24Speaker 3: when we were It was fun to see just at
- 29:27Speaker 3: that point, you know, with Roblaze up there and you're thinking, okay, yeah,
- 29:30Speaker 3: all you have to do really is put this ball
- 29:32Speaker 3: in play. We've set up perfectly. Just don't hit into
- 29:36Speaker 3: a double play and we're good.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Well, second and third, you were all right at that
- 29:39Speaker 2: stage that probably wasn't going to happen. But three out
- 29:43Speaker 2: of four the seven hole hitters, can Zone and Roblaze
- 29:46Speaker 2: combined with two of the three RBIs, I mean it
- 29:49Speaker 2: should have been easier. We out hit them eleven to three.
- 29:52Speaker 2: I felt we outpitched them in this game, including Castillo.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Bad defense, sloppy defense again, which continues to plag the Mariners.
- 30:01Speaker 2: But they do survive and win at three to two
- 30:04Speaker 2: and ten innings, and that's a sweep of the Diamondbacks.
- 30:07Speaker 2: That's six straight wins for the Mariners. They built a
- 30:10Speaker 2: two and a half game lead in the division and
- 30:13Speaker 2: our two games over five hundred. I think for the
- 30:15Speaker 2: first time this entire year. Here is Dan Wilson after
- 30:19Speaker 2: the game, and you.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Know, again some more momentum as we go into quite
- 30:23Speaker 6: a ball game today. Just a great way to end
- 30:26Speaker 6: the series and and you know, continue playing good baseball.
- 30:30Speaker 6: I thought, you know, what the guys did on the
- 30:33Speaker 6: mound today was fantastic. You know, you look at I
- 30:36Speaker 6: think both guys were five innings at seventy one pitches.
- 30:39Speaker 6: Pretty pretty ironic, I think in some ways. But both
- 30:44Speaker 6: did an incredible job. You know, Bryce getting us off
- 30:47Speaker 6: on the right foot and again us getting on the
- 30:50Speaker 6: board early kind of helped out a lot. You know,
- 30:52Speaker 6: getting us ahead, I thought, doms Homer to grab the
- 30:56Speaker 6: lead right back after you know they had tied it
- 30:58Speaker 6: up was huge, and you know that's a that's a
- 31:00Speaker 6: big turning point to get the momentum back in our
- 31:02Speaker 6: dugout and then the rock you know, to to go
- 31:06Speaker 6: into the extra inning there, you know, take the ball
- 31:09Speaker 6: again and and you know, do what he had to
- 31:11Speaker 6: do and make some really good pitches in that inning
- 31:14Speaker 6: and you know, just executed tremendously and then you know,
- 31:19Speaker 6: let to let our guys try to win it. I thought,
- 31:21Speaker 6: you know, get getting the bunt down there by Cole
- 31:23Speaker 6: was an out standing job as a great punt, and
- 31:25Speaker 6: then Vic putting it in play, and you know, getting
- 31:29Speaker 6: a chance to score Randy easily a great way to
- 31:32Speaker 6: end it. And you know, again some more momentum as
- 31:34Speaker 6: we go into next week.
- 31:36Speaker 2: All right, Dan Wilson afterwards say three two, ten inning
- 31:39Speaker 2: win over the Diamondbacks and no day off for the Mariners.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Might as well keep this thing a rolling. Why take
- 31:45Speaker 2: a day off?
- 31:46Speaker 1: You're winning every game.
- 31:47Speaker 3: We don't need a day off.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't need a day off. Let's go beat
- 31:50Speaker 2: up some mets here tonight. First pitch six forty the
- 31:54Speaker 2: New York Mets, who've had as disappointing a season as
- 31:57Speaker 2: any team in Major League Baseball so far this year.
- 32:00Speaker 2: You could argue maybe the Red Sox more so, but
- 32:03Speaker 2: they have been playing their best baseball as of late.
- 32:07Speaker 2: And Juan Soto is as hot as any player in
- 32:10Speaker 2: the game right now. And those are two things that
- 32:13Speaker 2: we will discuss later on in the show. Emerson Hancock
- 32:16Speaker 2: gets the start tonight. First pitch will be at six
- 32:19Speaker 2: forty out at T Mobile, and the Mets most tricky Mets.
- 32:23Speaker 2: They're going with an opener, Austin Warren, a reliever who's
- 32:26Speaker 2: been very effective as a reliever but is making his
- 32:29Speaker 2: first start tonight. He will pitch at most two innings,
- 32:33Speaker 2: may just pitch one as they try to manipulate Dan
- 32:37Speaker 2: Wilson's lineup early in this contest. But that's your matchup.
- 32:41Speaker 2: And so two hot teams getting ready to collide, two
- 32:44Speaker 2: teams that both were frustratingly disappointing for most of the
- 32:48Speaker 2: seasons so far because they both had tremendously high expectations,
- 32:52Speaker 2: but both seem to be ironing a few things out,
- 32:55Speaker 2: and so you got two hot teams colliding tonight here
- 32:58Speaker 2: at home.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm glad that we're home. I'm glad we're
- 33:00Speaker 3: coming off the sweep. I feel like again I'm not
- 33:02Speaker 3: saying that M word, but I feel like good things
- 33:04Speaker 3: are on our side, and I like good things are
- 33:07Speaker 3: on our side, are on our side.
- 33:10Speaker 1: We've got some real motivation.
- 33:15Speaker 3: That's right.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Should keep good things going?
- 33:18Speaker 3: Yes, you would really like to, Yes, make sure you
- 33:22Speaker 3: keep the good things going.
- 33:25Speaker 5: Yes, exactly, because when you've got Movember in your sites,
- 33:32Speaker 5: you really want to be playing baseball all the way
- 33:36Speaker 5: up to that mustachio day.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Remember what they say, mo money, no problems.
- 33:43Speaker 1: All right? Is today AJ Brown Day?
- 33:47Speaker 2: We will tell you what that means next. Sports Radio
- 33:50Speaker 2: ninety three point three kJ RFM. As long as my
- 33:53Speaker 2: name's up there on the marquee, it's going to be
- 33:55Speaker 2: a special day June first every year because we start
- 33:59Speaker 2: a couple of different and things. Our MLB trade season
- 34:04Speaker 2: begins today. As far as I'm concerned, I have really
- 34:07Speaker 2: been patient. I've been really holding out, trying not to
- 34:10Speaker 2: talk about trades too much, not prematurely.
- 34:13Speaker 3: But I'm proud of you.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I can officially dust that off today, and I'm
- 34:17Speaker 2: gonna die right in is an O five trade talk
- 34:19Speaker 2: it up, I'm gonna do it. So, yeah, it's two
- 34:22Speaker 2: months of trade talk. Who didn't love that?
- 34:25Speaker 3: What could possibly go wrong?
- 34:26Speaker 1: Also? Our one series? I love our one series. So
- 34:29Speaker 1: we do this every June.
- 34:31Speaker 2: We are going to have one Seahawks insider from in town,
- 34:34Speaker 2: or Seahawks analyst or Seahawks beat writer, whatever you want
- 34:37Speaker 2: to call them, break down one key Seahawk player. If
- 34:40Speaker 2: they're choosing for one entire interview, that's right. They choose
- 34:45Speaker 2: the player and then that's all we discuss for an
- 34:48Speaker 2: entire interview. And we've got Corbyn Smith hitting lead off
- 34:51Speaker 2: this year for us in our one series. He'll join
- 34:54Speaker 2: us at eight o'clock. We'll find out then who he
- 34:57Speaker 2: is choosing to break down. But thinking of football today
- 35:01Speaker 2: has been circled on a lot of insiders calendars out there,
- 35:07Speaker 2: and they're all weighing in on AJ Brown day here today.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Is he going to get traded?
- 35:13Speaker 1: Today?
- 35:14Speaker 2: Doesn't look like today, but I think relatively soon. Different
- 35:20Speaker 2: reporters have different reports here. As of this morning, we
- 35:25Speaker 2: heard Ian Rapaport say, yeah, he's going to be traded.
- 35:28Speaker 2: He's not going to stay in Philadelphia. But today is
- 35:32Speaker 2: the first day where contractually some things loosen up, and
- 35:36Speaker 2: so now it will be easier from a financial standpoint
- 35:41Speaker 2: for Philadelphia to move on from AJ Brown. And so
- 35:45Speaker 2: this was the first day that it was going to happen.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Okay Ian report says that he doesn't think that they're
- 35:52Speaker 2: close and it won't happen for a while. Albert Brear
- 35:55Speaker 2: is on the other side of that. He thinks it's
- 35:58Speaker 2: a done deal and should happen relatively quickly, maybe even today.
- 36:04Speaker 2: The thing that may keep it from happening today is
- 36:07Speaker 2: how it might look if it happens today. And so
- 36:11Speaker 2: Adam Schefter is reporting this morning that it's definitely the
- 36:15Speaker 2: Patriots and the Eagles, so that AJ Brown's going to
- 36:18Speaker 2: be going to New England. And yet he made a
- 36:22Speaker 2: point this morning which I found rather interesting, to state
- 36:26Speaker 2: they haven't been in contact for weeks. I want to
- 36:29Speaker 2: make that very clear, And so I read into that
- 36:34Speaker 2: as I'm getting this information from Diana Russini, Diana Russini
- 36:40Speaker 2: is telling me, though, you can't tell them that they've
- 36:43Speaker 2: already worked on a deal, because they're not supposed to
- 36:45Speaker 2: be talking right now.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Right just like me and Mike aren't supposed to be talking, right, exactly.
- 36:50Speaker 2: We're not supposed to be talking. The Browns and the Eagles.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Excuse me, the Patriots and the Eagles are not supposed
- 36:55Speaker 2: to be talking. So if you do report this, my
- 36:58Speaker 2: friend Adam Schefter, then please say don't tell them that,
- 37:03Speaker 2: or please make mention that they haven't talked in a
- 37:08Speaker 2: long time, long time, even though they probably.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Have talked every day for the last month.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Yes, most likely, but just make sure you say they haven't.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Yes. So when it happens, I don't know.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Kind of feels like we've been setting this day up
- 37:24Speaker 2: for quite some time, and so I'm not sure.
- 37:27Speaker 1: I would imagine relatively quickly.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Maybe not today, Maybe that wouldn't be a good look
- 37:33Speaker 2: if it happened today, But I would imagine at some
- 37:37Speaker 2: point midweek, maybe on my.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Birthday, who knows, maybe present.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that will have the worst kept secret in
- 37:45Speaker 2: the National Football League revealed. And that is that Vrabel
- 37:50Speaker 2: and Russini have been sleeping. I mean no, that is
- 37:53Speaker 2: that Aj Brown is going to reunite with his old
- 37:57Speaker 2: head coach in New England as wide receiver for the Patriots.
- 38:01Speaker 3: Both of those things would just be shocking, wouldn't they?
- 38:05Speaker 2: Is it just me or is he having a really
- 38:07Speaker 2: hard time being the center of a controversy. He does
- 38:10Speaker 2: not know how to conduct himself, and he handles himself
- 38:13Speaker 2: really well in almost all situations.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Yeah, he seems very off now.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Seems very off, doesn't know what.
- 38:19Speaker 3: To say no, and he and he seems that this
- 38:22Speaker 3: is gonna sound he seems almost weak. Yes, when he's
- 38:25Speaker 3: sitting up there, it's like, I agree, I don't want
- 38:27Speaker 3: to say anything wrong. I don't want to do anything wrong.
- 38:30Speaker 3: I've already done wrong stuff. I don't want them to
- 38:32Speaker 3: talk about it, so I gotta keep just.
- 38:34Speaker 2: And yet he did in his last time, he was
- 38:36Speaker 2: like he was asked about like some future date, and
- 38:39Speaker 2: he goes, I don't know what else is going to
- 38:41Speaker 2: come out, Yeah, like pretty much admitting like there's still
- 38:45Speaker 2: more that could come out. Yeah, And I don't know
- 38:47Speaker 2: how that will affect me when people hear that or
- 38:50Speaker 2: know that.
- 38:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 38:51Speaker 2: So yeah, he doesn't look for the first time in
- 38:55Speaker 2: his life, he doesn't look comfortable in his I mean,
- 38:57Speaker 2: he was like the alpha male when Tom Brady and
- 39:00Speaker 2: he were teammates. Yep, Rabel was like the alpha male
- 39:03Speaker 2: in that clubhouse and to see him kind of reduced
- 39:06Speaker 2: to not knowing what to say or how to act
- 39:09Speaker 2: or comport himself.
- 39:10Speaker 1: It's very weird.
- 39:11Speaker 3: It throws me off, that's for sure.
- 39:13Speaker 2: All right, headlines next plus we will celebrate trade season
- 39:18Speaker 2: having arrived on Sports Radio ninety three point three kh
