Chuck in the Morning 8-7 Hour 1: So much for that spark... Mariners Morning After and Canton could be getting blue and green very soon! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Well, great morning to you here live from the Virginia
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Mason Athletic Center. My name is Chuck Powell. Happy Friday
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to you all. We made it, everybody, we made it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to the Friday and we are happy to have you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: with us. Ashley Ryan back of the studio, my name
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is Chuck Powell. We've got you for the next four
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: hours here on the radio show, and all sorts of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: things planned for you to close out the week. We
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: will detail that for you in a moment. As we
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: just spend another day, another morning here in Renton, Washington,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and get ready for another Seahawks practice. We have a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: preseason game, actually not officially a preseason game, but there
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: was football on last night, which we'll talk about in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: our headlines here in a little bit. But yes, football
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: season is here and yet to baseball season painfully continues,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: which we'll get to more in a moment. But last night, Ashley,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I went to to lee le Brasort Casino, lovely place.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Does he drink alone?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Nice?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I did not drink alone?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Oh thank goodness.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and I suppose that the George thorough
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Good concert I should have, but people showed up and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: made sure that I didn't, So I thank those individuals
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: good and the collective, Yeah, and the collective. But I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: did not drink a lot, I'll say that. Well, yeah,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I stretched it out. I got two things off the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: thorough Good checklist. I did have a scotch and I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: did have a beer, but I did not have the bourbon.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And I thought maybe that was a good choice to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: make considering what time we needed to be on the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: air today.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think, And because I.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Had to drive home from the concert last and then
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: there's that. Yeah, so we stopped two thirds of the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: way through the list. But I do know Brandon who
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: came out and he actually bought me my scotch. He
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: did the checklist. He was staying for the entirety of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the show. Oh, I didn't stay for the entirety of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the show. So he did the whole George thorough could
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: experience last night. And it was fantastic, It really was.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The amphitheater was terrific. And he's seventy seven years old,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: for goodness sake, rock legend, and yet he still got
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: this like pizzazz about him and he obviously can still
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: play and he can still sing. Uh, And it was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it was a fun night out at t Lalap and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so we enjoyed it all. And I want to thank
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all the people that came out. I'm not gonna remember
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you all, but Ron, we had a great conversation with
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Ron Brian who stopped by, so glad that he's he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: was one of our ticket winners. Wes was another one
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of our ticket winners, and he stopped by with his
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: wife and a huge Kracken fan, Wes who decided to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: take a dig at the Mariners as he was walking
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: away from me last night. So yeah, just Jeff. Jeff
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was there as the you know when I when I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: first got there. So thanks many others as well, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: one thing, thank everybody for just coming out and say
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: hi last night. And then the show was terrific and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Tlala was terrific. And can't wait to go see another
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: show out there and eat a another different restaurant out
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: there and actually spend some time. You know. I didn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: have the time to play the tables or stay the night,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: which is something that I want to get done here
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: very soon. But great, great, great evening at Talala Presort
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Casino last night.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Well I am glad to hear that. Very glad how
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: was Robert Cray? By the way, he was opening right.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Amazing, like amazing. I mean I'm not exaggerating this. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: did not. I mean I didn't really know Robert Cray.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't really know the history of him. And then
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm like, my goodness, this is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: an album purchase the next time I go to the store,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the record store. Fantastic. I mean, he's seventy three
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: years old, and he's like, man, if you're not in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: your prime, I kind of want to go back traveling
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: time to hear you in your because you are fantastic.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, his singing voice and his guitar playing just remarkable,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and then thorough good. I mean he's saying about alcohol
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: his entire career. You know he's had some.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would hope. So, yeah, he's just lying to himself.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I doubt that he stopped at one Bourbon, one Scotch,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and one beer. I would imagine he probably had two
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of each, probably at certain points of his life. But
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you know, still the showman. The only thing about it was,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and we'll get into the Mariners here in a second.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm stalling. The only thing about it was when
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he comes out on the stage, I'm like, oh my gosh,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he looks like gas Man. So the whole concert, I'm like,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking, like, oh my, Gaston's up there performing
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on the stage.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Perfect. That's very random, an.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Old old Mike Gas gas man. But yeah, he kind
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of has taken on like a like an older gas
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: look about him. So I couldn't get Gas out of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: my thoughts last night while I'm watching the George thorough
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Good Show.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. That's so random.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It would be great if this entire time my Gaston
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: has been George Thurrow Good. That would have been awesome.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Wow, he would have really tricked us all.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Living a double life like a spy.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But not quite an opposite double life as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you would think. Yeah, all right, well, good
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: morning to you all. Welcome into the radio show. Here
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: we are on this Friday. We do have a lot
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of ground to cover today. And certainly, I mean, oh, first,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: credit is your keyword at ninety three to three KJR
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: dot com for one thousand dollars in cash. Certainly, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's hard not to be kind of depressed really about
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this Mariner's season when there were such high expects it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the fifty years celebration and maybe this is it, you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: maybe all the planets are coming together, and in year
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: number fifty, this long extended weight to get into the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: World Series. You got the entire country talking about this
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: team on paper looks like the best team in the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: American League. I told you that in spring training, a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people bought into that one. The only one
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: here in town that felt that way, wasn't it the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: only one on the show that felt that way. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: yet it's obviously been disappointing. I mean, four months of disappointment,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: this team just cannot get into a groove. And then
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, you think, for sure, excuse me not Saturday night,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night, you have one of those games where you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: feel like that's it. That's got to be it right,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that's got to trigger things, that's got to set things right.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Now they're I mean every team, even bad teams, have
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a hot streak at some point where they play above
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: even above their caliber. I mean it's baseball. At some
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: point during a season, a team goes on a run. Now,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it might be different for say the Colorado Rockies than
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it is for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but even the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies have had a stretch this season where they
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: played above their heads for a week or ten days
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and went on a bit of a run and got
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: people's attention. We've not had that from this team, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: maybe it's still coming, but they just cannot seize momentum.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And just when you think they've played one of those
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: games that we discussed yesterday, that galvanizing type effect that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you could get from a game. You know, you had
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the dust up at the end, you had bad outfielders
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: making good plays, you had a twenty one year old
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: answering after the brawl with a home run. You had
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Julio coming up with one of the bigger hits of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the year and it felt like he needed it. Just
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: felt like one of those games that could be that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: turning point. And Ashley, if you don't go out the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: very next night or very next day, twelve hours later
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and you're down three to nothing within a blink and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you never got in a baseball game, You never got
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: into that game at any point. You were such not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a threat to the Tigers yesterday that Franber Valdez didn't
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: even have to throw at anybody. Yeah, I mean, that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't tell you you didn't even have time. I mean
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he was up three to nothing by the time he
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: took the mound. I mean, I'm pretty sure he was
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: getting ready to throw at someone and get ejected by
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the first or second inning. But when you're already up
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: three to nothing before the blink of an eye, there
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: really was no call for it. And so we didn't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: even have that in the game yesterday, And by the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: end of it, you got a position player pitching, which
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is the example of how the day did not go
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: well in a major League baseball game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I it was I found myself having a conversation with
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: myself last night, like like trying to talk myself into
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: still having some faith in this team. And it was
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: kind of a depressing conversation with myself that I was
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: having because I just.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Don't know what.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Possible spark or fight or thing they would have. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know what more you need, you know, than
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: what you had on Wednesday to show that you were
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: all in. Yesterday, they didn't have to be all I
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: mean yesterday, they didn't have to have each other's back
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: because no one showed up. So it was like, well,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: good at least we all did this together. So Wednesday
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: we all showed up and had each other's back. Thursday
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: we were all like, let's just hang out and not
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: really perform.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Well I don't.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I just I was like, I'm not giving up on
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: this team because I just can't.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: It's the hardened Mariners fan in me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I suppose, yeah, but I find it hard to be excited,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: like even thinking about tonight, like I'll put it on,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: but what am I gonna see?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I just I can't. It's I feel like I've never ridden.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: A roller coaster with this team, as much as I
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: have ridden one this year.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Wow, I don't even think it's been a roller coaster.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I mean roller coasters have to have highs and lows.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean there's been.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Some very limited highs I.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Mean, and never extended. It's one night here and there
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: where you're like, wow, now that was pulling one out
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of the fire. Here we go, and then the next
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: night and I know it's not effort, and I know
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that it's not caring. I know that, but it is.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And I heard Dick Fane talking about this last night.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: It is like, at this point we might have to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that this team's been far more one way than
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they have been the other, and that way is not good.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And maybe this is who they are, that they are
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: just a collection of underachieving players who cannot ride momentum
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and cannot capture the same magic and energy that they
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: showed from one and focused from one night into the other.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And this team during the Depoto era, with some of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the same guys in the clubhouse, used to be sort
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of famous for never giving up and creating crazy comebacks.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And this team, I mean, honestly, once you're down three
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to nothing, it feels over. I said that Tuesday night
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in the Troy Melton game, the moment they fell behind
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: three to nothing on the where Emerson gave up the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: base at to cold Keith, it felt over. The moment
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller left the mound for the first time yesterday,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it felt over.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Which was said disappointing with him on the mound too.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And to me, that's different about this team than any
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of the teams that we've watched in the Depoto era.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever attached that to a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Mariners team here recently, where where you just at two nothing,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: three to nothing feel like okay, Well, let's see what
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: else is on television. I guess there's a preseason football
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: game tonight, or you know, you know, maybe maybe they're
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: saying something interesting on Pardon the interruption, you know. Yeah,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And and yet that's that's what we're dealing with now.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I say that. And this really wasn't the angle I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: was going to take, but here we are to start
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the show today. I say that, and because of the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: way that the American League has cooperated this year, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the American League West is cooperated, it really does take
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: ten good days of baseball, ten good days of baseball
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and you're in first place, you know. And I'm not
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: talking about ten straight wins. I'm not talking about anything magical, right,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about right, I'm talking about one of those
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: runs that almost every team has where they play even
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: better than they are on paper. And we think, or
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we thought this team on paper was a world championship
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: contender this year, and so you know, maybe they're not
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: going to be that consistent team, but they have to
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: have one run in them, right, They have to have
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: one ten game stretch where they play better than they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: have for most of the season. Every team has one,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and if they get one, and you got forty six
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: games to figure this out. If they get like a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: ten game stretch, it's going to be against good competition.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: By the way, they get a ten game stretch and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: they go eight and two, they're probably gonna emerge on
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the other side tied with the Astros or within a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: game of the Astros with you know, another couple weeks
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a month to play to make up a game. And
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: so it's really all it takes. And it's certainly not
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: out of the question, but it is I I would
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: say to your point, actually, the most frustrating thing about it,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and the reason you can't get excited about this team
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is because they cannot take advantage of momentum in any
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: single way. You were sure when the first pitch was
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: thrown yesterday that this team had a great shot at
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: going two out of three, did.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: You not, Oh?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And winning yesterday and starting something and Tuesday was supposed
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to represent a spark, right, can't start a fire without
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a spark. That was supposed to represent a spark. We've said,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: we've we've mistook a lot of sparks this year, yep.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And and so that you know, you felt good about
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: going into that game, and then within a half an
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: inning you suddenly like, oh, it's one of those days again. Okay,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So right, I guess Tampa. I guess we'll focus on Tampa.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we get it going against them. So three games out,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: forty six to play, plenty of time to come back
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: from it. But you and Dick Fane and a lot
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of people listening right now, are right where has been
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the evidence that you can put together a good stretch
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of baseball Because you haven't done it in four months, And.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: If you're concerned at all, and then you look at
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the schedule, that's like a double concern because you've got
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Tampa Bay in town. Then you go to New York,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: then you go to Houston, then you go to Milwaukee,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: then you're any of the Cubs, then you have the Phillies.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no break.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that as much because this team
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: has always been weird.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That way, true.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, even even you know, over the course of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the last ten years of Mariners baseball, I mean, they
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: come up with their streak at the weirdest times where
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you're sure that they're dead in the water, and then
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, when once you've given up on them,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: then they rattle off, you know, eleven straight wins against
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the twelve Disciples. I like that. So they can be now, yeah,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: they can beat anybody. They can be like an all
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: star team of the Yankees and Dodgers combined, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I mean that's that's how weird they've been. But this
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: team has not operated like even some of the Mariners
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: teams that we've watched in recent years. And so we
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: wait and we hope, and I would just say, don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: give up, you know, I don't. I mean, I don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: want you to be the person that's like I'm a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Nationals fan, now, I mean I would urge you not
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to give up. I'd urge you to stay on the ride,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: no matter how bumpy it gets. But yes, I think
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: there is a there has been a major problem with
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: this team remaining focused from one day to the next.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: We just don't see the same team show up two
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: days in a row. It just doesn't happen.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: No, and Mariners fans are glutton for punishment, right we
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, especially me, I know I will even on
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: years where we are out of the playoffs, I'm like, well,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: are we really out till the season's over, like we
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: could be mathematically eliminated, and I'm like there's still a
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: chance though, And.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So well, I'm not that way. I'm not that way
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: because I'm not just I just not bred as a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: sports fan that way. I'm not that way. I mean,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you the moment that I think it's over
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and out. By the way, since you've been on the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: show with me, you know that there have been a
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: couple times in the last six years where I thought
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it was over and then they rallied. Yeah, So I
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: mean I've declared it. So I'm not always had a
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: great instinct about this. I'm I'm not that way. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: will just tell you practically, there are forty six games left.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: You are only three games back, and the teams that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you're chasing down. The team that you're chasing down, whether
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it's the Astros or Rangers, are not any good. They're
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: mediocre baseball teams. So all it takes is to get
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on a run, one run. This entire six month season,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two game schedule, you still have
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: time to get on one run, and if you do that,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you catch up, and then once you're even steven. Maybe
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: we have an eleven game season to determine the division
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and so they do
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: have a really good chance of still getting into the playoffs.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And once you get into the playoffs in baseball, maybe
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not in football, maybe not in basketball, but in baseball,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: once you get into the playoffs, you got a shot.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen. It is so true. It's not a cliche.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Anything can happen. The Dodgers won by a cleat in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the World Series last year against a team that the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Mariners should have beaten, in the Toronto Blue Jays, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: so I mean that's really all it takes. And we've
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: seen plenty of teams throughout Major League Baseball history that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season people thought they had
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: no chance and were ready to give up on them
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and ended up winning the World Series. Plenty of examples,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the first Kansas City Royals champion, the Minnesota Twins of
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: my youth in nineteen eighty seven. I mean, I could
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: rattle off ten of them for you. I won't because
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I got to throw it to what's on tap. But
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: it's not like it hasn't happened before. So we just
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: need to see. I mean, please just get hot, yeah,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: just get hot.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: String something together, help us to see something positive, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: then the next day come back and see more positives.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: That's all I want.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And we're not asking this. If you had Colorado Rockies talent,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you know you have the talent. Everybody can see that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you have the talent. And yet, for whatever reason, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: maybe it is leadership, which we'll get back into later
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: on in the program, there is just no ability to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: put to get to stack good performances from this team
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: this year. All right, let's find out what's on tap
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the show. Please.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: This is what's on tap, brought to you by Emerald

• 19:52
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go through your headlines quickly. It's the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Tigers over the Mariners yesterday eleven and nothing. The final score.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: The will be an action against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert for us, which is good, but Drew Rasmussen
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for them, which is not good. Because the best team
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in the American League this season has its best pitcher
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: going against US. Tonight. First pitch is at six forty
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: five ish. I'll say ish, because I don't know with
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: all of these promotions and ceremonies they have going on
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the fiftieth year of the franchise history, I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: don't know if something's going to get in the way.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if, for all I know, dajo Le's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: here to sing the national anthem, I don't know. Spectacular, Yeah,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it would be great, but you know, you know, daho
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you know, just hogging the spotlight. It could go on
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: for could be like one of those Marvin Gay, you
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: know it's national anthems that goes on for like eleven
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and a half minutes, and that would delay the start
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of the game. So be prepared for anything this weekend
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: if you're planning to be part of the celebration. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I do have to, we have to. You and I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: actually have to discuss this weekend because we haven't done
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it a lot, and there's a reason for that during
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the course of the last week or last month. But
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: today we're gonna we're gonna chew it up a little bit.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Coming up later on in the program, Hall of Fame
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: game last night. They're calling it the greatest Hall of
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Fame game of all time, usually because it's unwatchable. Yeah,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: but last night Carolina outscored the Arizona Cardinals thirty three
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to thirty. It's technically not even a preseason game, but
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it was professional football. It was professional football players trying
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to achieve either roster spots or playing time. And so
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: football is back. And Carson Beck, by the way, put
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: on a pretty good show last night, the third round
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: pick out of Miami for the Arizona Cardinals, even though
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the Panthers won. It's also Hall of Fame weekend. Drew Brees,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Keigley, Adam Vinettieri, and Roger Craig are
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: In Canton, Ohio, Seahawks training camp continues. We'll talk to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell today at eight thirty, and Tory Horton's going
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to join us in Greg's normal spot at seven oh five.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: So rude of Tory to bump Greg Bell from another
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: seven oh five segment today, But hey, what are you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: gonna do? The Seahawks, by the way, they'll open their
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: preseason schedule next Saturday, so just eight days away from that,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and they will be at home against the Dallas Cowboys
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and Huskies. Camp got underway yesterday Jed Fisher's third season
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: at the heme of the Washington Huskies, and so college
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: football also lit that firecracker yesterday. The Coops opened camp
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: as well, and so we start the countdown to the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Apple Cup of course and its traditional slot Sunday, September sixth.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: We yeah, all right. We'll talk more about that Little
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: League World Series and more coming up on the show,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: but we'll detail the grim accounts of yesterday's Mariners game
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: with Mariners morning after Next Sports Radio ninety three point
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: three KHARFM. I mean it was all your fault, Mariners.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It could have been two terms tables in a microphone.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Could have been and that would have been super fun.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are a lot of difverythings we could
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: have taken from the Beck catalog, but uh, we picked
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the thing you're acting.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Most like, Yeah, it kind of hurts them.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: And when I say we, I don't mean Ashley and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I I mean this is public at large, that's right,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the Mariner fan base, that's right. They are frustrated. They
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: want you to know they are playing in our Mariners
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: morning after segment requesting the most shot taking Beck song
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that exists. Correct, Yeah, and you've earned it. Yeah. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: if they could play this right to your crotch as
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: like a kick, yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Right, big Beck kick in the nuts.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Beck to the baby maker.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: That's what let's do it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: That's what the Mariner fan base is saying.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Mariners tried to take advantage of that spark, right, that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: spark that was created the night before by taking out
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the tag. There's two games out of three, a day game.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It was hot, it was hazy, but we had Bryce
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Miller on the mound. They had Framber Valdez. We kind
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of expected an epic game, an epic game where there
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: could be a bench clearing brawl with Framber Valdez taking
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the mound. Dan Wilson not there. He had been suspended
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: by Major League Baseball immediately for the next game and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: so he was not on the sidelines. We also, with
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller on the mound, thought pretty good chance to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: win this thing, right, But unfortunately Bryce really didn't get
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: out of the first inning. When I say that, I
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: don't mean that he was done after inning number one,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: but he gave up more runs than we could afford.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Now this is carrying and taking Julio back and it's gone.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Dylan Dingler home ring yet again against the Mariners. He
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: has homered every game this series.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Dylan Dingler got him started early and they just poured
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it on. Three runs in the first, another one in
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the second, and once again the Mariners offense does not
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: put up a fight. They have been shut out eleven
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: times this year. Eleven Nothing was the final score in
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: this one. Framber Valdez went seven shutout innings. Bryce Miller
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: got through five and then handed it over to a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: bullpen that featured Victor Roblaze yesterday. Yes, that'll sum it
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: up for you. Tigers win it eleven to nothing over
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the Ems, who dropped four games under five hundred, had
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a chance to gain a half game in the division,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: ended up losing a half game. So as we sit
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: here this morning, three games out of first place from
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the Houston Astros. Dan Wilson was not there to give
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: us a terrible press conference after the game. Maniacta filled
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in for him as the one day manager, and those
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: responsibilities did talking to the press after an eleven nothing lost.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Very young crushturistic by Bryce didn't come out very sharp
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: from the get going, madles play catch up baseball, but
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: couldn't do anything offensively anyways, So the big boy came
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: out of the game at the end as you saw
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: with the tight oblique training staff. Consider that it's not
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: as bad due to the testing that they did on him,
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: but overall just not a good bug game.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: An what did you see from Bryce in the first
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: made get some shows.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Or Yeah, he wasn't sharp from the get go with
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: his whole repertoire, and we all know that's what we
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: pretach here. Walks are bad, not only him, but the
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: rest of the guys. He seemed like whenever we ended
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: up walking a guy long ball, follow follow it up,
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: how close we you going out there and getting pretty close?
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: And that's where he deserves a lot of credit, where
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: he righted the ship and was able to get through
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: five innings because he was very close to put our
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: bullpen on a on a really tough spot. I think, uh,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: you know, we have a different lineup now and it's
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: just a matter of time. Uh, this guy's taking off
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: I think adding bend and down the bean and getting
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Taylor Ward adding into our lineup. I think he's gonna
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: do wonders. It's just not gonna happen over and overnight.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: But uh, you know, we had a couple of guys
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: that had scheduled days off today. But I'm looking forward
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: to seeing these nine guys that we're going to throw
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: out there going forward.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it's like night and day in a
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: press conference.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: That is more than Dan Wilson has said and all
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: of his press conferences combined. He actually showed disappointment. He
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: didn't act like, well, yeah, tough one baseball, No, what
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Yeah, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I chewed my gum a lot though. Yeah, so we
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: didn't get any of that. Uh. He actually was a
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: little critical without sounding like he was throwing players under
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the bus. What's wrong with saying, hey, we can't walk guys,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with that?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Well, and what's wrong with saying yeah he bryce was
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: close to putting this in a really tough spot with
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: the bullpen.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: So I've been giving him credit.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Because he didn't. He managed to stay in there for five.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, isn't there a way to finesse this
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: isn't there a way to acknowledge, like, yeah, that's just
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: not good. And then offense, we just never showed up,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: just didn't show up. But but but we just added
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: two guys. We think it's gonna work. It just doesn't
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: happen overnight. Okay, all right, I can live with that. No, yeah,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I mean adding Taylor Ward and Brendan Donovan. As exciting
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: as that was that day, that given day at the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: trading deadline to add two pieces, and looking at the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: lineup and how much longer and deeper that it appeared
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to be. I mean, they weren't coming here to sprinkle
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: pixie dust over the thing. I mean, we didn't add
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Babe Ruth and Jimmy Fox at the trading deadline or
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: coming off the injury list. I mean, we added two
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: good major league players to the lineup and the span
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of twenty four hours, and it felt good, But it
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: didn't mean everything else was going to turn around just
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: because of their presence. And so to say that like, hey,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: we feel good about it, we think it's heading in
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the right direction. We do believe we're going to hit
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: with this group. But I can't sugarcoat. What I watched
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: there today that was just terrible. And he didn't say
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: that Ashley word for word, but he kind of suggested
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: it for the first time somebody suggested it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Yea, he said it wasn't that wasn't a good baseball game,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: or that was a bad baseball game. There's nothing wrong
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: with saying that. You don't have to say it was
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: a tough one. It was a bad baseball game. And
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: we talked yesterday about Ai, Dan or whatever. I think
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Manny has earned the job of taking over the postgame
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: press conferences for Dan.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: All right, fine, all right, I'm good with that for sure. Yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying Manny Actor should be the manager.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: But the postgame press conference, guy.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I might be saying that Dan Wilson shouldn't be the manager.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I've been saying that for
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: quite some time. I'm gonna see, Yeah, tonight it will
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: be Logan Gilbert, It'll be Drew Rasmuss. And that's a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: heck of a pitching matchup, and for a team that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: got shut out twice by the Tigers in the last
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: three days. Now, Look, Valdez is obviously really has been
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: a really good pitcher throughout his career, and Troy Melton
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I warned you how great he is. So it's not
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: like you face some chumps in that Tigers series, and
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you're not going to face a chump Tonightrew Rasmussen's been
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: like cy Young type pitcher this year, So you're facing
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a really good pitcher tonight. And you obviously have some
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: monstrous offensive challenges that you cannot overcome this season, and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: so this is not going to be easy. There will
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: be a lot of things to distract you this weekend
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: at t Mobile, but the actual baseball itself, which matters
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to me the most, and I think to most listening, Well,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: we got a work cut out for us to get
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: out of this four month long offensive funk. But maybe
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the Boys rattle the match tonight. We shall see Gilbert
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: versus ras mussin first pitch tonight at six forty five.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: All Right, Tory Horton's going to join us today at
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: seven oh five. Coming up next on the radio program.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: It is a big weekend in the National Football League,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and I always take at least a segment every year
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to talk about the big weekend in Canton, Ohio. And
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering how many weekend or years in a row
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: we could have a huge Seahawk presence starting next year
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and going forward at the Hall of Fame Weekend. We'll
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: talk about it next. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: All right, headlines coming up at the top of the hour,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: plus Tory Horton's gonna join us at our set. So
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: good morning to you all here from the Virginia Mason
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Athletics Center. Seahawks training camp continues as we continue here
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: on this Friday, we got more to talk about with
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, the Mariners coming up a little later
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: on in the show, and the big weekend that is upcoming. Also,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: we got your OHO for you, your eight top stories
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of the day today at eight o'clock. But this weekend's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: NFL Hall of Fame Weekend Hall of Fame Game was
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: played last night between Carolina and Arizona. I love the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Weekend ceremony. I love the stories, like
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the unlimited speech time that they're given to take us
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: on that tour through their careers. I mean, it is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: one of the great sliding doors speeches that you'll ever see.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Almost every NFL player at some point where it will acknowledge,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: no matter how great they were, no matter how destined
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: for greatness they seemed to be, every single one of
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: them will acknowledge a point, a believable point in their
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: speech where they're like, if this didn't happen, I would
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: have been selling shoes, you know, at the mall. And
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: so I love that aspect of it. So we're gonna
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: hear Larry Fitzgerald and Luke Keighley and Adam Bennettieri and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Roger Craig and Drew Brees all give their speeches this weekend. Certainly,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I mean Drew Brees might be the the the headliner
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: because he's a quarterback, even though Fitzgerald and Keigley were amazing,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and Vinitary is in the conversation for greatest kicker of
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: all time. But Drew Brees, we already know that there
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: was a time where his career he thought might have
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: been over with that shoulder injury. I mean, they nixed
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the trade. He was going to become a Miami Dolphin,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and they nixed the trade because they didn't believe that
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: his shoulder was sound enough to continue playing football. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Lowen Baldy goes to New Orleans and ends up being
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. So always
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: love that ceremony, look forward to the speeches. And next
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: year it's going to be interesting because there's a chance
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that man, the next few Hall of Fame induction ceremonies
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: are going to be Seahawk flavored. There's no question about it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: And it starts next year with Richard Sherman being eligible
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: for the first time. Now, I think sherm is a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: sure fire Hall of Famer, and I think he should
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: be a first ballot Hall of Famer, but he might
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: not be. There are restrictions placed on this. There are
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: only a certain few guys that get in. Bill Belichick
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: did not get in if you remember this last year
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: when he was eligible, and he's gonna be going up
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: against Belichick, Mike Holmgren again, Ben Roethlisberger, Gronk, Adrian Peterson,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Alex Worth, Alex Mack, cam Newton. I mean,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: that is a stacked class, not to mention all of
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the backlog of guys who haven't quite gotten in the
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Tory Holtz of the world, and that includes Earl Thomas,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: cam Chancellor and other Seahawks who've been eligible. Here for
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years and haven't quite gotten close
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: to Hall of Fame induction. Marshawn Lynch, a lot of
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: guys that at least are in the conversation as to
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: whether or not they're Hall of Famers. But Richard Sherman
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. But
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Ashley it might not happen because of how crowded the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: room he is standing in.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I get that there's a lot of competition.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Luckily, I will say for the coaches thing and the
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: older players, that's all in a separate category.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So he's just got to go against the other guys
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: that are on that ballot.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: But I think what they're really waiting for is that
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: they just want an all Seahawks.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Well that's not actually true because Roger Craig is in
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: on that ballot, So.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: The coaches are on a separate one though.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: No, they're not not anymore like Mike Holmgren got beat
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: out by Sterling Sharp two years.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Ago, but that was on the older ballot, not the
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: that was the what they are that legend.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: But the coaches are all on that ballot, so yes,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they do go against players that are eligible That's why
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Sterling Sharp got in and not Mike Holmgren. That's why
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Roger Craig got in and not Bill Belichick. So there
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: are players, there are players on that that are going
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to take a spot. So it doesn't necessarily there's not
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: not the separation that there used to be. The coaches
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: have to also compete against players. They won't have to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: compete against Richard Sherman.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Right, that's what they does other ones. That's what I
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: was saying was Richard Sherman doesn't compete against the coaches
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: and the older players.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll obviously is also another one that in future
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: years is going to be poured over. There's no question
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: about that. Uh. And then of course some you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's candidacy will be poured over in five years
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: as he's now officially retired and Bobby Wagner still is
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: not signed with a team at this stage. And so
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner is also somebody that is going to get
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: in first ballot Hall of Fame. We just don't know
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: if that's in five years or six years. So over
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the course of the next five to ten years, we're
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: going to have pretty much a conversation about a Seahawk
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: getting into the Hall of Fame every single year and
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: earls and cams and others candidacies grows as some of
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: these more obvious guys start getting in. So we shall see,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: but this could be very seahawky over the next decade
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and deservedly so. All Right, coming up next headlines, Plus
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: we also have Tory Horton joining us at our set.
