0:39
Speaker 2: the iHeart Detroit Studios for the third morning in a row,
0:43
Speaker 2: we are coming to you as we cover the American
0:46
Speaker 2: League Divisional Series. So welcome into the show. Bucky Jacobson's here,
0:50
Speaker 2: My name is Chuck Powell, Ashley Ryan back at the
0:52
Speaker 2: studios in Seattle, and we sure wish that we were
0:56
Speaker 2: celebrating this morning. I sure thought we were going to
0:59
Speaker 2: be celebrating this morning. I thought we would already be
1:02
Speaker 2: sizing up the Toronto Blue Jays here on this radio program.
1:06
Speaker 2: But instead, here we sit with that Game five hanging
1:11
Speaker 2: out there. That's going to be played Friday night back home,
1:14
Speaker 2: and so Bucky a lot different to tenor to today's
1:19
Speaker 2: show here this morning. I mean, yes, thank you, Detroit,
1:22
Speaker 2: thank you for all your hospitality. You are wonderful. But
1:26
Speaker 2: I really do regret not whipping your ass yesterday. Yeah right,
1:30
Speaker 2: it really does bother me. I want you to know
1:32
Speaker 2: up front.
1:33
Speaker 3: Well apparently, I mean I wouldn't be surprised. Seems how
1:36
Speaker 3: every Detroit ter we met was basically competing to see
1:41
Speaker 3: if they were the nicest person on the planet. Maybe
1:45
Speaker 3: the Mariners had the same thought, maybe like game Spier
1:48
Speaker 3: was like, you know what we've been You know, we
1:51
Speaker 3: beat these guys. That's two games in a row, two
1:53
Speaker 3: and a half games in a row. We need to
1:56
Speaker 3: we need to pay them back.
1:57
Speaker 2: I don't think he would do that, but maybe he
1:59
Speaker 2: did get lulled into a sense of softness. I don't know,
2:03
Speaker 2: but yeah, I really thought we were gonna get it done.
2:07
Speaker 2: And I was hoping on our last day here in Detroit,
2:10
Speaker 2: before we hopped aboard a plane to come home, that
2:13
Speaker 2: we would be kind of rubbing it in their faces.
2:15
Speaker 2: They're very nice, kind faces here this morning on Chuck
2:19
Speaker 2: and Buck, but Alas, Ashley, we couldn't get it done
2:22
Speaker 2: for you. We apologize.
2:23
Speaker 4: You know what, It's all right because I will tell
2:25
Speaker 4: you that the when Palmer came home from school yesterday,
2:28
Speaker 4: the first question out of her mouth was did the
2:30
Speaker 4: Mariners win? And when I said no, she was so excited.
2:37
Speaker 2: Happy.
2:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:38
Speaker 4: Well, and then Mark and I we were just like,
2:41
Speaker 4: we're good, We're just gonna go to the Husky game.
2:43
Speaker 4: It'll be great because we would rather just the Mariners win.
2:45
Speaker 4: We don't care. And then it was like, oh, we're
2:48
Speaker 4: going double dipping because we thought the Yankees would probably
2:51
Speaker 4: pull it off and then we'd be at one o'clock.
2:53
Speaker 4: And so then we were excited finding ourselves rooting for
2:56
Speaker 4: the Yankees again for some reason. And then they blew it.
2:59
Speaker 4: So now we have to find someone to take our
3:01
Speaker 4: Husky tickets. And Palmer is even disappointed she doesn't get
3:04
Speaker 4: to double dip, but she was so pumped that she
3:06
Speaker 4: gets to be at the game on Friday, like she's
3:08
Speaker 4: the one She had just been waiting and waiting and waiting.
3:12
Speaker 4: That's all I think she was thinking about at school
3:13
Speaker 4: all day was what are how are the Mariners doing
3:17
Speaker 4: right now? And at the game on Friday.
3:20
Speaker 2: I love Palmer the great confidence, Like I know we're
3:23
Speaker 2: gonna win. I want to win on my terms. I
3:25
Speaker 2: want to win with myself there in the stadium. That'd
3:29
Speaker 2: be great for us.
3:30
Speaker 4: For me, yeah, for her exactly. That's how she wants it.
3:34
Speaker 2: That's it, Palmer. Just take it all, Just take everything
3:36
Speaker 2: you want. Yeah, you know, and hopefully it works out
3:38
Speaker 2: for the rest of us. But that would be nice.
3:41
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be fun Friday. It's gonna be electric,
3:44
Speaker 2: there's no question about it. It's going to be loud.
3:46
Speaker 2: As Logan Gilbert told me yesterday after the game, that's
3:50
Speaker 2: the expectation. We know that that's going to be delivered.
3:54
Speaker 2: But certainly I wanted to fly home feeling like we
3:58
Speaker 2: had already wrapped up what we came here to do
4:02
Speaker 2: and had a couple of days off when we landed
4:04
Speaker 2: and then got ready for the next opponent. That sounded
4:07
Speaker 2: more fun to me, yep, than having to play Friday
4:10
Speaker 2: night and have that anxiety and that pressure and that
4:13
Speaker 2: nervousness weighing over the stadium. But nonetheless, you know, every
4:18
Speaker 2: sporting event, I say this all the time about a game,
4:20
Speaker 2: you got to have a moment in a game for
4:23
Speaker 2: it to be a great experience where you're sure you're
4:25
Speaker 2: going to win at one point, and then you're sure
4:28
Speaker 2: you're going to lose at one point, and then you
4:31
Speaker 2: ultimately win. That's the best ride to go on as
4:35
Speaker 2: a sports fan that there is, Bucky and right now,
4:40
Speaker 2: I mean, we've already seen that pendulum swing five times
4:44
Speaker 2: in this series. I mean we were there after Game
4:48
Speaker 2: number one and Mariner fans, after losing a lot of
4:52
Speaker 2: you were sure the series was over. There's no way
4:56
Speaker 2: we can come back from this. Trek Scooble's pitching tomorrow.
5:00
Speaker 2: We couldn't even beat their bullpen for an entire game.
5:03
Speaker 2: And then the next two nights we were here in Detroit.
5:07
Speaker 2: We went out in Detroit after Game number three, and
5:10
Speaker 2: every Tiger fan that we ran into, congratulations, you got
5:14
Speaker 2: a really good team. Make sure you beat the Yankees
5:17
Speaker 2: if you have to face them. I mean, that was
5:19
Speaker 2: the sentiment. So the Tiger fans had given up, and
5:23
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, they've evened up the series,
5:26
Speaker 2: and so it swings back in the other direction. This morning,
5:29
Speaker 2: we wake up the Tigers are favored by Vegas to
5:32
Speaker 2: win because of one person, Trek Scooble, But we got
5:36
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people that are going to show up, and
5:38
Speaker 2: even though baseball is not a sport that typically home
5:42
Speaker 2: field advantage is some significant push. I think it does matter.
5:48
Speaker 2: I think it does matter in Seattle. I think that
5:51
Speaker 2: the record speaks for itself. And we're going to create
5:54
Speaker 2: one hell of an atmosphere Friday night and we'll see
5:57
Speaker 2: if Trek's Scooble can come overcome the Seattle nine and
6:01
Speaker 2: then the Seattle fifty thousand.
6:03
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean, ultimately, I'm with you and everybody
6:07
Speaker 3: basically besides Palmer, I think that would have much rather
6:09
Speaker 3: had not had a Game five. But if you think
6:14
Speaker 3: about it as what could the most the absolute most
6:19
Speaker 3: enjoyable way of this happening, this is it Game five
6:23
Speaker 3: is it will feel it will feel cooler than winning it.
6:26
Speaker 3: And four I mean, now, I.
6:28
Speaker 2: Gives us a chance for a cal Raley walk off
6:30
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the ninth.
6:31
Speaker 3: That's right, can walk them off when you're on the
6:33
Speaker 3: road and show it no, And so I mean I
6:38
Speaker 3: it's one of those It brings more stress, and yet
6:41
Speaker 3: with that added stress, it brings more hope or more
6:45
Speaker 3: of a chance of something more spectacular. I mean, but ultimately,
6:49
Speaker 3: the whole joy, the whole point is is advance right, advance,
6:53
Speaker 3: and then keep advancing and eventually win the final game
6:56
Speaker 3: of the season and hoist a trophy. And so I'm
7:00
Speaker 3: one that just be the competitor in me is fine
7:03
Speaker 3: with having a Game five because it's like, well, this
7:05
Speaker 3: is what you play for, this is what you this
7:07
Speaker 3: is what you kind of hope for, It's what you
7:08
Speaker 3: dream of when you're in the backyard playing wiffleball. You
7:11
Speaker 3: come up with those scenaris. I never one time was like,
7:14
Speaker 3: it's game four, we don't need to play game five.
7:19
Speaker 3: Here's the I never said that. I never made up
7:22
Speaker 3: that hypothetical scenario. It was always this is game seven
7:25
Speaker 3: or game five. It was it was always the most
7:28
Speaker 3: ultimate possible pressure that you could face. And basically that's
7:32
Speaker 3: what they've done. They've they've backed themselves up. And the
7:35
Speaker 3: pendulum that you're talking about is it's the fun part
7:38
Speaker 3: of it. I would say this, and I agree with you.
7:40
Speaker 3: I think that home field advantage for this Game five,
7:42
Speaker 3: and basically for the last month or majority of this season,
7:46
Speaker 3: really has played a little bit.
7:48
Speaker 5: Of a role.
7:49
Speaker 3: I think in the playoffs, even if you don't have
7:51
Speaker 3: the greatest fan base, you're usually gonna get sellout crowd.
7:55
Speaker 3: You're usually gonna get people that are gonna be riled up.
7:58
Speaker 3: And if there's anything that we witness besides the hospitality
8:01
Speaker 3: of people in Detroit, it was the second half of
8:04
Speaker 3: that game, when they finally got on the board, it
8:07
Speaker 3: started coming alive, and then the next run, and then
8:09
Speaker 3: they came alive even more. Next thing you know, they
8:11
Speaker 3: tied it up, and all of a sudden, you're like, oh,
8:14
Speaker 3: this place is rocking and rolling, and then you couldn't
8:16
Speaker 3: stop it. You know. It was almost like getting stunned
8:18
Speaker 3: and in a boxing match, and next thing you know,
8:21
Speaker 3: you're like, what the heck? And you wake up kind
8:23
Speaker 3: of staring up at the lights, thinking, how the heck?
8:26
Speaker 3: I mean, I had them on the ropes, I had them.
8:28
Speaker 3: I thought I had them beaten. Next thing, you know,
8:29
Speaker 3: I'm the one that gets knocked out. So you got
8:31
Speaker 3: knocked out or you got knocked down, But there still
8:34
Speaker 3: is another round in this bad Boy, the most important one.
8:36
Speaker 2: I really do want to spend the first segment on
8:39
Speaker 2: this because I need Mariner fans I need Seattle sports fans.
8:43
Speaker 2: I need kja R listeners, Chuck and Buck listeners to
8:45
Speaker 2: understand like what exactly, I mean, how dead in the
8:49
Speaker 2: water the Detroit Tigers were, or at least their fan
8:53
Speaker 2: base soel clearly the players didn't feel that way, but
8:58
Speaker 2: everybody else in Detroit, I mean already outlined the kind
9:02
Speaker 2: of the vibe that we had after game number three
9:05
Speaker 2: going out into the city a little bit. I mean,
9:07
Speaker 2: it was just Tommy's and it was not like we were,
9:09
Speaker 2: you know, bouncing from bar to bar. It's not like
9:12
Speaker 2: we were getting a real pulse from Motown. But you
9:15
Speaker 2: know what little interaction that we had with Detroit people.
9:20
Speaker 2: They had already kind of resigned themselves to having lost.
9:23
Speaker 2: Then you show up. You know, we race to this stadium,
9:26
Speaker 2: We get to the stadium, and you know, I can't
9:29
Speaker 2: even believe what I'm looking at. Thousands of empty seats.
9:32
Speaker 2: Thousands of empty seats at Camerica beautiful Park, by the way,
9:36
Speaker 2: but thousands of empty seats. And I had a guy
9:40
Speaker 2: who was a Detroit meat writer sitting next to me.
9:43
Speaker 2: Young guy looked like Jerry Neuheisel. Actually, to be honest,
9:46
Speaker 2: I don't know maybe Rick got around, but he's sitting
9:50
Speaker 2: next to me on my right and he's I just
9:54
Speaker 2: oversee on his screen as laptop where he had tweeted
9:59
Speaker 2: out it is the the first time in the history
10:02
Speaker 2: of Detroit Tigers baseball that they didn't have a playoff
10:05
Speaker 2: game sold up, right, So this is this is a
10:07
Speaker 2: fan base that shows up for the parties, right, And
10:11
Speaker 2: yet they were so sure that the series was over
10:14
Speaker 2: after Game number three that they ended up having thousands
10:17
Speaker 2: of seats unsold. Now there's still a big crowd there
10:21
Speaker 2: and they still ended up, you know, making some noise
10:24
Speaker 2: and having a factor in the game. But that's how
10:26
Speaker 2: the game started. Then they were down three to zero.
10:30
Speaker 2: They're up three to oh, right, and they were booming
10:33
Speaker 2: throughout the third and the fourth innings, and I think
10:36
Speaker 2: some people were even leaving. Hell aj Hench in the
10:39
Speaker 2: third inning with the bases loaded, situation was so desperate,
10:44
Speaker 2: and he knew the Mariner bullpen and what it was
10:47
Speaker 2: capable of. Down three to nothing and where this game
10:51
Speaker 2: could go. I think it was actually two to nothing
10:53
Speaker 2: at that point, maybe even one to nothing. I think
10:55
Speaker 2: it might have been one to nothing, but the bases
10:57
Speaker 2: were loaded and he summons Kyle Finnegan, arguably his best reliever,
11:03
Speaker 2: to get him out of a bases loaded jam, which
11:05
Speaker 2: for the most part, he did get done. We didn't
11:08
Speaker 2: take advantage of that situation. So he's bringing that reliever
11:12
Speaker 2: into the game, and then the Tiger Rider. At one
11:17
Speaker 2: point that was sitting next to me. He was, you know,
11:20
Speaker 2: crafting the obituary for the Tiger season. I was watching
11:23
Speaker 2: him do it, and at one point he had to
11:28
Speaker 2: change it to the Tigers were dead, like I mean,
11:32
Speaker 2: they were out cold at that point. I mean, that's
11:35
Speaker 2: that was the vibe that was taking place during the
11:39
Speaker 2: course of that game. And yet somehow, and this is sports,
11:45
Speaker 2: and you know, you can never possibly tame sports and
11:49
Speaker 2: its unpredictability, and particularly baseball, which is another thing that
11:54
Speaker 2: he wrote down at one point that I saw over
11:57
Speaker 2: his shoulder, was that you can't. Baseball always keeps you guessing,
12:03
Speaker 2: is how he ended his story. That's what that was
12:06
Speaker 2: the last line in the story, Baseball always keeps you guessing.
12:09
Speaker 2: They were sure they were done. They were sure they
12:12
Speaker 2: were done when Matt Brash went one, two three the
12:14
Speaker 2: night before in the bottom of the seventh This city
12:18
Speaker 2: here in Detroit was sure it was done, and then
12:21
Speaker 2: what ends up happening, You know, gave Spire checks into
12:25
Speaker 2: the game, the normally reliable gave Spire and it was
12:28
Speaker 2: like six feet of smelling salts. He just rolls in
12:33
Speaker 2: there and here are the Tigers stood up at the
12:37
Speaker 2: nine and a half second mark of a ten count
12:40
Speaker 2: in this heavyweight fight. And the referee looked in their
12:43
Speaker 2: eyes and saw they were dazed, and saw their knees
12:46
Speaker 2: were wobbling, but thought to themselves, it's a championship bout.
12:51
Speaker 2: We got to give them a chance to see if
12:53
Speaker 2: they can come back in this thing. So they let
12:55
Speaker 2: the fight continue and gave Spire for whatever reason, woke
13:00
Speaker 2: them all up, and you know, they just they grew
13:03
Speaker 2: a bumper crop from dust, like it just there was
13:08
Speaker 2: nothing left in the stadium. They everybody had resigned themselves to, hey,
13:13
Speaker 2: it's been a good season, and then all of a sudden,
13:16
Speaker 2: against Gabe Spier and Edward Bizardo, to reliable pitchers bucky
13:19
Speaker 2: this entire season, they just started rattling hit after hitting.
13:22
Speaker 2: It's not like they were bloops. I mean they were
13:25
Speaker 2: crushing two of our more reliable pitchers in our organization
13:30
Speaker 2: and the next thing you know, we're down six and
13:32
Speaker 2: we end up on the scoreboard getting blown out. For
13:34
Speaker 2: goodness sake, but I just wanted people to realize just
13:38
Speaker 2: how over that it felt in that stadium at one
13:41
Speaker 2: point in Game four.
13:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when when we scored the run in
13:45
Speaker 3: the fourth was the first, well they were third. They
13:49
Speaker 3: were already booing their guys when they didn't get hits,
13:52
Speaker 3: when they when they were getting out, they started like booing.
13:55
Speaker 3: When we scored another run in the fourth, it got louder,
13:59
Speaker 3: and then you we didn't even ended up tacking another
14:01
Speaker 3: one on in the fifth, when Cal hit that RBI single,
14:04
Speaker 3: it was like Randy. It was kind of a Randy
14:07
Speaker 3: gets on wild pitch. He is in scoring position and
14:09
Speaker 3: boom caw, you have no outs and you're up three zero,
14:12
Speaker 3: right you're you're just starting the fifth inning, it felt like,
14:16
Speaker 3: or maybe that was the fourth inning. Anyways, they ended
14:18
Speaker 3: up basically all of a sudden kind of turning on
14:20
Speaker 3: them a little bit.
14:21
Speaker 4: Now.
14:21
Speaker 3: I was thinking to myself, like, there's one a lot
14:24
Speaker 3: of game left. Two. This team's been battling. It's not
14:28
Speaker 3: like this has been some blowout series like the first
14:31
Speaker 3: couple of games in Toronto, for example, are Toronto and
14:33
Speaker 3: the Yankees. Those were blowouts. I could see how a
14:36
Speaker 3: home a fan base would be like, what are you doing? Well,
14:40
Speaker 3: this is a team and a fan base that was
14:42
Speaker 3: watching this watch this team have an absolute meltdown the
14:45
Speaker 3: last month of the season, right and you could tell
14:48
Speaker 3: it it felt like that's what they Those people booing
14:51
Speaker 3: were like, what are you doing? You idiots? They were
14:54
Speaker 3: mad about how this has gone up to this point,
14:57
Speaker 3: and yet it was like, this team is the team
14:59
Speaker 3: will certainly feel that because yeah, I mean it starts
15:02
Speaker 3: with in the fifth with Bryce. It starts where he
15:05
Speaker 3: ends up giving up a kind of a soft ground
15:07
Speaker 3: ball up the middle to get that in and going.
15:09
Speaker 3: Then he gets more weak contact, gets that out, and
15:11
Speaker 3: then it's the first the hard hit barrage starts that
15:14
Speaker 3: double gets him on the board, and all of a sudden,
15:17
Speaker 3: even those that were going like oh hey three to
15:20
Speaker 3: one were okay, and they just basically we couldn't stop
15:23
Speaker 3: the slide. At that point in time. Gabe was thrown
15:25
Speaker 3: far twoundy pitches over the heart of the dish, and
15:29
Speaker 3: obviously they just didn't miss him. They took full advantage
15:31
Speaker 3: of every mistake we made.
15:32
Speaker 2: He was just off. He just was not good, and
15:35
Speaker 2: he just picked a terrible time of not being good.
15:38
Speaker 2: And I expected Bryce to have a quick hook. I
15:42
Speaker 2: actually thought that Dan might take him out after that
15:44
Speaker 2: Torkolsen single that you were describing. But he he hadn't
15:48
Speaker 2: allowed anybody to get the second base in the entire game.
15:51
Speaker 2: His last pitch was the first time that he allowed
15:54
Speaker 2: somebody in scoring position. It just so happened to have
15:56
Speaker 2: scored a run and put the second run scoring position.
16:01
Speaker 2: But I mean, I know that the plan all along
16:03
Speaker 2: was quick hook, go to Gabe Spire. If there's a
16:07
Speaker 2: big lefty, we're gonna go to him first against a
16:11
Speaker 2: left handed matchup that we like. And it ended up
16:14
Speaker 2: pushing Parker Medow's out of the game, and Jami Jones,
16:18
Speaker 2: of all people, comes through with a double and that
16:21
Speaker 2: was the first uh oh moment that you had to
16:25
Speaker 2: have as a Mariner fan. But I don't have any
16:27
Speaker 2: problem with the decision to take Bryce out. I don't
16:30
Speaker 2: have any problem with the decision to go to Gabe Spire,
16:33
Speaker 2: And I realized that a lot of people do have
16:35
Speaker 2: a problem with it, and I think maybe you're guilty
16:38
Speaker 2: of hindsight. I would hope that you're at least consistent
16:41
Speaker 2: with this, because, I mean, Gabe Spire has turned out
16:45
Speaker 2: to be the difference in this series for a number
16:48
Speaker 2: of spectacularly good and terrible reasons. Game number one, they
16:53
Speaker 2: didn't go to them when I thought they should have
16:56
Speaker 2: in the fifth inning, and it cost you. Game two,
16:59
Speaker 2: they did go to him when I thought they should
17:01
Speaker 2: have prematurely, but this is playoff baseball, both in the
17:04
Speaker 2: fifth inning, and he got the job done, and it
17:07
Speaker 2: might have been the difference in winning that game because
17:09
Speaker 2: there was only three to two, and then he didn't
17:11
Speaker 2: have to pitch in Game number three, and then game
17:14
Speaker 2: number four, you go to him, same thing. Fifth inning,
17:18
Speaker 2: little traffic on the base paths started, doesn't quite get
17:22
Speaker 2: through five, even though he pitched very well. All three
17:25
Speaker 2: of them pitched very well moving into the fifth. None
17:28
Speaker 2: of them score allowed a run in through four, none
17:31
Speaker 2: of the three starters that we're talking about. And I
17:33
Speaker 2: thought all three times that Gabe Spiers should have come
17:37
Speaker 2: in in that situation in the fifth, and in this
17:42
Speaker 2: particular case, you do go to him, in my opinion,
17:44
Speaker 2: at the right time, and he just didn't have it.
17:48
Speaker 2: He was two or three miles per hour off his velocity.
17:50
Speaker 2: He wasn't locating at all, and they just lit poor
17:53
Speaker 2: Gabe up.
17:55
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they let him up. I mean you said
17:57
Speaker 3: it early in this series. Because of the fact that
18:00
Speaker 3: you have two lefties in the bullpen, Inspire being the
18:04
Speaker 3: one that you can you've been able to rely on
18:07
Speaker 3: majority of the season. Nobody's perfect. I remember talking to
18:10
Speaker 3: Softie and Dick after the first postgame show here and
18:14
Speaker 3: and it was there's been questions of well, you it
18:17
Speaker 3: looks like the backside of your bullpen, you know, when
18:20
Speaker 3: you're talking about Munnos and Brash obviously, but even Spire
18:23
Speaker 3: he was doing. I mean they seem unhittable. I mean,
18:25
Speaker 3: how quick do you go to those guys? You got
18:27
Speaker 3: to use those guys. Well, yeah, but nobody's unhittable. I
18:30
Speaker 3: mean they're still human. There's still going to make mistakes.
18:33
Speaker 3: The difference is how many do you make? How many
18:35
Speaker 3: opportunities do you give them to make their job a
18:37
Speaker 3: little easier, And he was making a bunch. How easy
18:40
Speaker 3: is it to hit that mistake? Still? I mean, Trek
18:43
Speaker 3: Skouble made a couple of mistakes Horey Polonko, and he
18:47
Speaker 3: capitalized on both of them. He doesn't make very many mistakes,
18:50
Speaker 3: and even when he does, they're not as easy as
18:53
Speaker 3: as other guy's mistakes might be that have lesser stuff.
18:56
Speaker 3: Gave Spire the fact that his there was a little
18:59
Speaker 3: bit of a boy off of his fastball makes it
19:01
Speaker 3: a little bit easier to connect when he ends up
19:03
Speaker 3: throwing one over the heart. And obviously they did that,
19:06
Speaker 3: and then you know, okay, well now they've evened it
19:09
Speaker 3: up to some degree. Bring in bizarrero Dude's been lights
19:11
Speaker 3: out majority of his appearances this season. I mean, he's
19:13
Speaker 3: been a guy that you most certainly can you feel
19:16
Speaker 3: good about bringing him in a high leverage.
19:18
Speaker 2: You had a bad seasons that they have. You have
19:20
Speaker 2: to depend on them in those situations. If you don't,
19:23
Speaker 2: you're making a mistake as a.
19:24
Speaker 3: Manager, right And ultimately they did, and I think those
19:28
Speaker 3: guys would say thank you, and yes, I agree, give
19:31
Speaker 3: me the ball, all come in here and get it done.
19:32
Speaker 3: We saw that one one of those games you're talking
19:34
Speaker 3: about where there was a Spire element to it when
19:37
Speaker 3: he came in and did not relinquish an inherited runner.
19:40
Speaker 3: He was crazy fired up. Well, he was expecting to
19:43
Speaker 3: have that same type of feel when he came into
19:45
Speaker 3: this game, because Bryce Miller had done his job. I mean,
19:48
Speaker 3: giving up two hits through four eighties, goes out there,
19:51
Speaker 3: gives up a week kind of single up to the Midt.
19:53
Speaker 3: It's just a knock. He hits it and it goes
19:55
Speaker 3: it didn't go to JP and then gets another out
19:58
Speaker 3: and then the double happens, and all of a sudd
20:00
Speaker 3: that breaks the kind of breaks the levy a little bit.
20:02
Speaker 3: From that point was that they just could not stop
20:04
Speaker 3: the bleeding. And it was unfortunate because it was a
20:06
Speaker 3: good game. It was just the tale of two halves,
20:08
Speaker 3: and they obviously had a far better second half of
20:11
Speaker 3: the game that we had.
20:12
Speaker 2: First, I'll disagree with one thing. The crap game.
20:15
Speaker 3: You don't like it?
20:15
Speaker 2: Crap game. No, all right, let's find out what's on
20:18
Speaker 2: tap for today's last show here in Detroit.
20:23
Speaker 4: What's on tip?
20:26
Speaker 3: What's on tap?
20:27
Speaker 2: All right? Tigers win over the Mariners in game number
20:30
Speaker 2: four nine three at evens, the series up at two games.
20:33
Speaker 2: The piece Ryan Heathy will join us this morning. He's
20:36
Speaker 2: been our postseason contributor, former Mariner. He'll join US at
20:39
Speaker 2: nine thirty today. We'll also have the ABC's logan. Gilbert
20:43
Speaker 2: will also be on the program today. Game number five
20:46
Speaker 2: will be Friday at five o'clock. We know that we
20:49
Speaker 2: also know that Trek Scuball will be pitching for the
20:51
Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers. What we don't know yet officially is who
20:54
Speaker 2: will be pitching for the Mariners. I know a couple
20:58
Speaker 2: of websites are assuming that it's George Kirby, but I
21:00
Speaker 2: don't think that that's been officially declared. There's a chance
21:04
Speaker 2: it could be Luis Castillo, and obviously there is a
21:07
Speaker 2: very good chance that it could beat George Kirby. If
21:09
Speaker 2: we get that official declaration, will certainly pass it along
21:12
Speaker 2: and we'll certainly discuss the topic of who should be
21:15
Speaker 2: pitching that game a little later on in the show.
21:18
Speaker 2: Toronto did eliminate the New York Yankee, something that we
21:21
Speaker 2: typically would celebrate in Seattle. But I kind of wanted
21:25
Speaker 2: to play the day game in the in game number five,
21:28
Speaker 2: and it sounds like Palmer the Great did as well. Yeah,
21:31
Speaker 2: but yeah, everything that we want, I suppose National League
21:35
Speaker 2: Divisional Series, the Phillies and the Cubs both stayed alive
21:39
Speaker 2: last night, but they still trail two games to one
21:41
Speaker 2: in that best of five. Seahawks will be at the
21:45
Speaker 2: Jaguars on Sunday. This will be the least amount we'll
21:49
Speaker 2: probably talk about the Seahawks on a Thursday ever so,
21:54
Speaker 2: but we'll we'll certainly try to get some information in
21:57
Speaker 2: on that Thursday night. Football's tonight it's the Eagle at
22:00
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. Friday Night football. For the Huskies,
22:03
Speaker 2: they'll be taking on Rutgers on Montlake. Softy's gonna join
22:06
Speaker 2: us today at seven oh five, but I have a feeling
22:08
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk more baseball than football with Softy. But
22:11
Speaker 2: we certainly will provide a little bit of a preview
22:14
Speaker 2: to the Knights and the Dogs. And then today and
22:17
Speaker 2: normally this would be the headline today. It's the opening
22:22
Speaker 2: day of the Seattle Krakens season. So tonight they take
22:25
Speaker 2: on the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, and we're going to be
22:27
Speaker 2: out at Tom's Watch Bar. At least the rest of
22:30
Speaker 2: the crew that's back in Seattle will be from ten
22:33
Speaker 2: all the way up to dropping the puck. So we've
22:35
Speaker 2: got you covered here on the flagship from ten o'clock
22:38
Speaker 2: to six point thirty. The entire crew is going to
22:41
Speaker 2: be out at Tom's Watch Bar today every single show,
22:44
Speaker 2: counting down the seconds to crack an opening day. We
22:47
Speaker 2: certainly will spend some time discussing that today on the
22:51
Speaker 2: radio program. But we're here in Detroit for a reason,
22:54
Speaker 2: and that's to talk Mariners Tigers baseball. So we've got
22:57
Speaker 2: Mariners Morning After coming arway next Sports Radio ninety three
23:00
Speaker 2: point three kha R FM, or my Honey logins Underwear.
23:04
Speaker 2: Oh did you yeah?
23:05
Speaker 3: It's weird.
23:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:06
Speaker 4: Did they just say playing with the boys.
23:09
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean more more like just snugly caresses them. Yeah,
23:19
Speaker 2: but I agree. I get it that he did not
23:22
Speaker 2: make a song called Snugly Caressing with the boys, right right, Yeah,
23:26
Speaker 2: So yeah it works. I think it's funny. Just the same.
23:30
Speaker 2: All right, Mariners Morning After. We've done it all year long,
23:33
Speaker 2: for years now. After every Mariner's game, we provide this
23:36
Speaker 2: postgame show for you, but we just do it the
23:38
Speaker 2: morning after, a highlight of SoundBite, the preview of what's
23:41
Speaker 2: going on tonight that's coming your way here. Today, Mariners
23:45
Speaker 2: had a chance to close out the Detroit Tigers right
23:47
Speaker 2: here in Detroit, Michigan, where Bucky and I have been
23:50
Speaker 2: for the last three days. They were up three to
23:53
Speaker 2: nothing in the game. Everything felt great. Mariner fans had
23:57
Speaker 2: kind of taken over the stadium. Tiger fans were already leaving,
24:01
Speaker 2: most of them booing throughout the course of the first
24:05
Speaker 2: half of that baseball game. And then all of a sudden,
24:08
Speaker 2: the Tigers started to wake up against Bryce Miller. A
24:11
Speaker 2: single from Spencer Torkelsen to start the bottom of the fifth,
24:15
Speaker 2: No harm done, right, Then he gets an out on
24:17
Speaker 2: a fielder's choice ground out for Zach mckinstree. All right,
24:21
Speaker 2: we got one out going. He still hasn't allowed a
24:23
Speaker 2: runner to reach second base in this game. And then
24:26
Speaker 2: Dylan Dingler changed that. The catcher doubled into left center field.
24:30
Speaker 2: It scored Detroit's first run of the game, and it
24:34
Speaker 2: pulled Bryce Miller from the game. No sweat right, We've
24:37
Speaker 2: got Gabe Speier. He's been outstanding this season, He's been
24:40
Speaker 2: outstanding in this series. This seems like a good time
24:43
Speaker 2: to bring in your best left handed reliever. And instead
24:47
Speaker 2: things went south. Jamaike Jones doubled down the left field
24:51
Speaker 2: line to get two excuse me, three to two, and
24:56
Speaker 2: then a RBI single up the middle from Javier Bayaz
25:00
Speaker 2: tied the game at three runs apiece. Still you thought,
25:04
Speaker 2: to yourself, Okay, they drew even, no big deal. We
25:08
Speaker 2: still got four innings or even at three apiece, We're fine.
25:13
Speaker 2: Gabe Spires started the bottom of the sixth so that
25:16
Speaker 2: he could face left hander Riley Green, and all of
25:18
Speaker 2: a sudden things didn't feel fine.
25:21
Speaker 5: The one zero breaking ball lifted the light.
25:32
Speaker 2: Their first lead since the eleventh inning of Game one,
25:35
Speaker 2: and it's Riley Green to give it to them four
25:37
Speaker 2: to three Detroit. Mmmmm, now that you put it that way.
25:41
Speaker 2: Adam Amin fs one there on the call made it
25:45
Speaker 2: four to three, and then the Tigers against Edward Bizardo
25:49
Speaker 2: just kept tacking on a three run fifth, a four
25:52
Speaker 2: run sixth, and then they decided just to add another
25:55
Speaker 2: run in the seventh and another run in the eighth,
25:57
Speaker 2: and they end up running away with a game that
26:00
Speaker 2: I thought was settled in the fifth inning. It felt
26:04
Speaker 2: like it was settled in the fifth inning. The Tigers
26:07
Speaker 2: end up winning at nine to three. Gave just did
26:09
Speaker 2: not have it yesterday.
26:11
Speaker 3: Period. No, he didn't, obviously, and that's you know, he's
26:15
Speaker 3: obviously a guy that you usually trust in that situation.
26:18
Speaker 3: It's just the ebbs and flows of baseball are really
26:22
Speaker 3: hard to kind of understand, and yet you can feel
26:25
Speaker 3: it you most certainly you can feel it whether you're
26:26
Speaker 3: watching on TV or sitting there. When they came back
26:30
Speaker 3: and how you kind of described tied it up that
26:33
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you're like, oh boy, really okay,
26:35
Speaker 3: now you ended up He got out of it there
26:37
Speaker 3: after giving up Bryce Miller's runs and a couple of
26:42
Speaker 3: his or his Bryce Miller's one run under two, I
26:45
Speaker 3: guess he gave up too the one that Bryce had
26:47
Speaker 3: already given up with a double, Then he gave up
26:49
Speaker 3: the other guy that was standing on second base, and
26:52
Speaker 3: then he gave up one of his own. He ended
26:54
Speaker 3: up settling down and getting out of that inning to
26:56
Speaker 3: where you're just tied. That next inning they end up
27:00
Speaker 3: making a switch and then we get a couple of
27:02
Speaker 3: quick outs, and next thing you know, we get two
27:04
Speaker 3: guys on I think it was a walk by Who
27:09
Speaker 3: was it? Where was.
27:12
Speaker 5: Blake?
27:12
Speaker 2: You're talking about our inning?
27:13
Speaker 3: Yes, we end up getting a walk. Then JP gets
27:15
Speaker 3: a single and a rose Arena comes up with two
27:18
Speaker 3: outs and gets and flies out there. That to me
27:21
Speaker 3: was one where you put up a zero after your
27:23
Speaker 3: team scores the three tying runs and then they get
27:26
Speaker 3: a zero. If you would attacked one on there right,
27:29
Speaker 3: you re tip took the lead, it would feel different
27:32
Speaker 3: right going into the next inning, because the next inning,
27:35
Speaker 3: where the highlight we just heard is they end up
27:37
Speaker 3: wiggling off the hook there right, two guys on, two
27:40
Speaker 3: outs and the Rosarina doesn't get a hit. Now all
27:43
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're going, okay, Riley Green lefty Gabe
27:46
Speaker 3: ended up settling down after giving up the runs in
27:49
Speaker 3: the previous inning. We're gonna use him here against Riley Green,
27:52
Speaker 3: and Boomy hangs a slider and he hits it out
27:54
Speaker 3: of the yard. And that's where it's like the ebbs
27:57
Speaker 3: and flows parts of it. It's like, man, just one
27:59
Speaker 3: thing different front here and there, and you might feel
28:01
Speaker 3: like you're on your way back up to towards taking
28:04
Speaker 3: the lead and running away with something. Instead, you don't
28:07
Speaker 3: get the knock and they come out there the second
28:09
Speaker 3: pitch of that intan and Readley goes yard.
28:10
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people had a problem. I don't
28:13
Speaker 2: know if it was during before or in hindsight but
28:17
Speaker 2: a problem with Dan Wilson taking out Bryce Miller, who
28:20
Speaker 2: hadn't given up a lot of damage in the game. Afterward,
28:24
Speaker 2: Bryce Miller facing the media said that he understood while
28:28
Speaker 2: he was taking out, but he did feel great at
28:30
Speaker 2: the time.
28:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
28:31
Speaker 6: I thought it's the best I've felt in a long time.
28:33
Speaker 6: And I thought I threw the ball really well. Fastball
28:38
Speaker 6: was playing really good, splitter was good, and it's passed.
28:41
Speaker 3: A few weeks.
28:41
Speaker 6: I was working on, you know, getting off speed INTEWN
28:43
Speaker 6: and I was doing that. Yeah, I thought I attacked
28:46
Speaker 6: hitters pretty good and it was in the zone a lot.
28:49
Speaker 6: So Yeah, I think I don't know a regular season.
28:55
Speaker 6: I think, you know, I go six seven innings there
28:57
Speaker 6: and weren't a good spot. But yeah, I was happy
29:02
Speaker 6: with with Yadi.
29:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, and larger pictures.
29:04
Speaker 2: Certainly, it's not so if you think about the immediate aftermath.
29:06
Speaker 6: But we've seen this seam bounds back time and time again.
29:09
Speaker 2: It just the idea of this team keeping that mentality
29:11
Speaker 2: and keeping even killed after a tough loss. What's that
29:13
Speaker 2: like right now?
29:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, We've said it before.
29:17
Speaker 6: We got a lot of confidence in this clubhouse, and
29:20
Speaker 6: I got no doubt we're gonna bounce back and go
29:23
Speaker 6: to Game five and we'll have some fun at Seattle.
29:26
Speaker 2: Bryce Miller after the game, he did the job. He
29:28
Speaker 2: got his job done, There's no question about that. I
29:31
Speaker 2: know a lot of people were worried about him getting
29:32
Speaker 2: the ball and that crucial of the situation. I was
29:35
Speaker 2: not among you. I thought he was. He delivered on
29:38
Speaker 2: exactly what we promised he is and that is a
29:43
Speaker 2: low heartbeat, give me the ball, confident, quiet swagger guy.
29:47
Speaker 2: And he went out there and he Clint eastwooded up
29:50
Speaker 2: and got the job done. And I thought was taken
29:52
Speaker 2: out at the appropriate time by Dan Wilson at just
29:54
Speaker 2: backfired Spy and Bizardo, who usually have it didn't have
29:57
Speaker 2: it yesterday, and we lost the baseball game. That's the
30:00
Speaker 2: bottom line, two it all, and now we have to
30:02
Speaker 2: face a game five. We did have some cushion there,
30:05
Speaker 2: we could afford to kick one, which we did. But
30:08
Speaker 2: you've got game number five at home to settle it
30:11
Speaker 2: on Friday night at five o'clock. We know who's pitching
30:14
Speaker 2: for them, and we know how good Kerk Scouble is
30:17
Speaker 2: and we understand he is the lone reason why they
30:19
Speaker 2: are the favorites in Vegas going into this game five,
30:22
Speaker 2: but we've already beaten him three times, And the question is,
30:25
Speaker 2: do you go with the starting pitcher that has head
30:29
Speaker 2: to head beaten him every single time this year in
30:31
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo on shorter rest? Or do you go with
30:35
Speaker 2: George Kirby your game one starter and have Castillo ready
30:39
Speaker 2: in the bullpen potentially and anybody else that might be
30:44
Speaker 2: available to pitch in this game against Scooble and the Tigers.
30:47
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know which way he is going to
30:49
Speaker 3: go with it. It feels to me, if I had to guess,
30:53
Speaker 3: that you'd go with the guy that's on the legit
30:55
Speaker 3: rest and George Kirby and his stuff kind of placed
30:58
Speaker 3: where you feel like he might be able to go
31:00
Speaker 3: literally pitch for pitch against Trek Scooble. All right, Terrek Scooble,
31:04
Speaker 3: let's just say he's gonna go seven innings and you
31:06
Speaker 3: only scratch together one run. I think that you have
31:09
Speaker 3: an opportunity with George Kirby do the same thing that said.
31:12
Speaker 3: I also think George would be better suited coming out
31:15
Speaker 3: of the pen. I mean, has less time just stuck
31:19
Speaker 3: in the starter role. So It could be you could
31:21
Speaker 3: You could go Castillo and say, hey, dude, show us
31:23
Speaker 3: what you got, and literally the first sign of any trouble,
31:26
Speaker 3: you can go George Kirby, piggybacking him. It's gonna be
31:29
Speaker 3: an interesting decision. I'm guarantee it's one that Dan Wilson's
31:33
Speaker 3: not making lightly.
31:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. It's a huge decision, and we don't
31:36
Speaker 2: have official confirmation. I know a couple of websites are
31:39
Speaker 2: assuming prominent sports websites are assuming Kirby starts, but we
31:44
Speaker 2: don't have that official declaration yet made. It could be Castillo.
31:48
Speaker 2: We shall see, and I think there's a further conversation
31:51
Speaker 2: to have about that coming up later on in the
31:54
Speaker 2: program headlines. At the top of the hour, we got
31:57

33:58
Speaker 2: that the Kraken are already for a playoff season.
34:02
Speaker 5: I genuinely think so yeah.
34:04
Speaker 7: I mean I've already the vibes around the room, around
34:08
Speaker 7: the team have been so good and so high so
34:11
Speaker 7: far this this preseason and training camp, and now as
34:14
Speaker 7: we lead into the season here, I think we, honestly,
34:17
Speaker 7: I think we have such a good group of guys
34:19
Speaker 7: in hockey. It's funny hockey. There's so much or so
34:22
Speaker 7: little separation, sorry, between the top and bottom teams in
34:27
Speaker 7: the league, and there's so much parody. And I think
34:29
Speaker 7: so much of what makes teams good is culture.
34:32
Speaker 5: And I truly.
34:33
Speaker 7: Believe this is This is the best group of guys
34:35
Speaker 7: we've had in this locker room so far since I've
34:37
Speaker 7: been here, at least, And I'm just so excited to
34:40
Speaker 7: get going.
34:41
Speaker 5: I think we have a lot of belief in our group.
34:43
Speaker 7: I really have enjoyed working with coach Lane and the
34:47
Speaker 7: way he the way he coaches just makes sense for
34:50
Speaker 7: me and and the way my brain works. It's like
34:52
Speaker 7: when you have a good teacher, right when you can
34:54
Speaker 7: understand a teacher really well in class and stuff. And
34:58
Speaker 7: that's for me is what it feels like. So I'm
35:00
Speaker 7: super excited get going. I think we have a lot
35:02
Speaker 7: of belief in our group this year, and yeah, I
35:04
Speaker 7: can't wait.

Speaker 3: I'm hyped. There's a few youngsters that are making the
35:07
Speaker 3: opening day roster. What's it what's it feel like from

35:27
Speaker 7: and it just brings so much like joy to see
35:31

36:38
Speaker 7: can focus on right now. I can't be like, oh,

36:43
Speaker 7: many games like I feel like that's that's an easy
36:45
Speaker 7: way to get overwhelmed. And for me, it's like, Okay,
36:48
Speaker 7: we play Anaheim Night one Thursday, Climate pledge be there
36:51
