• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, nine o'clock hour here on this Monday,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: just three sleeps from the start of the Major League
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Baseball season. The Mariners will debut this Thursday against the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians at home. Yeah. Last year, a year ago,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it was all the way to the American League Championships
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Series and nearly to the World Series. And in that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: time we got to know our next guest quite well.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We enjoyed our time with him, and we're going to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: try to steal some more of it during the season
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: all year this year. Joining us on the program now
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for our first official conversation of twenty twenty six, because
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we did not get to see him at spring training
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like we'd planned, and we had a ball, didn't He
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: missed out on all of the festivities so much. Oh gosh,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was it not the time of our lives?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Probably it was probably the best day. Yeah, best time
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that we've ever had.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did you guys rehearse that?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You rehearse that? Because that was pretty weak. No, I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: missed you, guys.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: I was sad I couldn't make it out. But unfortunately,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: come into my my hood. I'm a I'm a dad,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I'm a husband, I run a business. There's a lot
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: on the plate, and I was I was sad I
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: couldn't make it out there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Well, joining us now on the program is Ryan Healy,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: former Mariner turning into a media superstar overnight here and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: he's on our program again here today. How are you man?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Good to see you a media superstar. I'm wonderful.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I I got called a D list celebrity this morning
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: at school, prop Off, one of the other dads there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Every time we talk, I go lower on the echelon.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: So I'm just gonna ride the wave and see where
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: it takes me.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He's there to break you down and we're here
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to build you back up. I appreciate that you need
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: people like that in your life. Yeah, we don't want
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you to get too much of one thing over the other.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, it's great. Toe are you looking forward
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to having a lot more conversations to talk to Mariners baseball?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Before we get to anything else, though, what did you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: think of the WBC Did you enjoy the tournament this year?
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed the tournament very much. I didn't enjoy the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: drama that came with it. And also, just like the
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: projection of opinions onto situations that people had zero clue
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: of what was truthful or not, like I'm Mark Durosa
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: put his footnes amout the couple times. But also the
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: storyline all the players coming back of USA team cared
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the least like there's absolutely no way and they've already
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: confirmed that. But the passion, the energy, the competition that
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: early in season, it was a treat to watch.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm with you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of jumping off points there with that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean one of the things was the cal Rawley
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: not shaking Randy's hand. I mean, you know these guys
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: better than most and so and you've been there. I mean,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it's to me, it's just two different guys approaching competition
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in the beginning of a game differently. What did you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: think it was and do you feel like this is
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: water under the bridge and no harm, no foul.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I think it's water under the bridge. I think it's
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: a forgive, not forget. And it's not even the lack
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: of handshake that I'm not for forgetting, not forgetting. It's
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: the comments after the game. I think Randy obviously was
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: feeling himself a little bit and went off in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: media and that happened a lot in the World Baseball Classic,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: where people would say something, it goes viral and then
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: the whole world gets to now determine how big or
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: small this storyline is. Obviously, we're all close to the
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Mariners and fans of Seattle, so that storyline blew up
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: a ton. But I felt like they did a good
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: job from Arizona, the camp here, the coaching staff, Dan
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Wilson stepping in to talk to both, and they were
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: able to bring some reality back to it. And you
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: can see Randy's comments. He's like, dude, I'm done with this,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and Kyl has said the same thing. They're all ready
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: to go compete. Their happy Spring training is almost over.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Let's go play some ball.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Do you think it pops back up again this year
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: or can we be comfortable that it's dead and buried.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: It's dead, and Barry, you're not going to see this again.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: There will be people that try to relive it multiple times,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: but those two guys are gonna kind of shooh you
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: it off, and at some point if they get annoyed,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: they're like, I'm done talking to you about it. I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: no longer to answer that question.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, on the other part of it, the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: idea that the US wanted it more because they don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: do the they don't act the same way, They're not
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: quite as exuberant. I don't know if you played winter
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Ball and got to experience it. To me, it's just different.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It's a different strokes or different folks. The way that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they are. The passion that Latin American players play with
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and their fans fan with is just different. And I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: don't think that it necessarily means that the US doesn't care.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Listen, I think the Latin culture has had a massive
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: impact on Major League Baseball in so many positive ways,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to the point where do you remember the storyline a
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: couple of years ago where I was let the kids play,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: whether you were Latin American, whoever you were, or wherever
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: you were from. They just wanted to see that joy
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: because fans can resonate with that. But it also doesn't
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: mean that the stoic, serious face, almost expectation of excellence
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: at the US kind of conducted themselves with this wrong
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: either people, you will find a way to irk people
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: no matter how you act, whether you are too excited
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: and to show bodie or whether you are too calm
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: and to present in the moment.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan Heally is with us here on the radio program.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Missed his opportunity to party with Bucky and I because
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of his children, right, weak sauce. Loving your children, Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: keeps you from drinking with your buddies. Kind of manned.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You turn out to be proud. Yeah, you're not. Justin Timberlake.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Ryan Heally is with us right
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: here on the radio program. All right, Well, moving past
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the WBC, we're three days away from the start of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the May your league baseball season. And this team, I mean,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we've spoken about it a lot, how excited we are
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: for the year, how primed they seem to be for
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: another deep run, if not the deepest run possible. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we haven't got your thoughts on how this roster's come
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: together for twenty twenty six. So just big picture, how
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: good of a team have the Mariners put together here?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Very good?
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: And I don't think the world got to see it
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: during spring training much because they had I think it
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: was between sixteen eighteen bodies at a time that we're
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: out playing the WBC. So obviously this last week when
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: everyone finally trickled back in you're starting to see what
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: that a lineup can look like. You can see the
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: guys starting to take some shape, a few guys trying
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: to get extra reps that maybe didn't get as consistent
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: playing time during the WBC as they anticipated. But that
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: was an empty camp for a long time. The cool
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: part is you got an opportunity to see a lot
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of young prospects because the Mariners done a tremendous job
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: of drafting and developing, so we got to showcase some
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: of those prospects. And obviously a guy like Colt Everson
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: was getting a ton of press us well deserved or
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the way that he conducted himself. But also a player
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: like Brendan Donnovan, who I feel like has added so
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: much value to this major league roster, not just as
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: the player, but as the person. And you can't hear
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: a bad thing said about that man in camp.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's one of the guys.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I ended up thinking Jerry and justin about five or
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: six times after we talked to him at spring training,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I said thank you, thank you for Brendon out of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it one because I'm just happy that there's actually somebody
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: that gonna wear my old number. Thirty three that can
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: actually hit. That's I'm looking forward to seeing that. But really,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the way this dude is so get to get into
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that a little bit. You know, this guy probably better
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: than most of our listeners as well. I mean, what's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: he bring to the table beyond just putting the ball
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: in play and you know, being a ball player if
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you will.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: It's a standard of excellence and the discipline that he
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: executes his work, the things that the fans don't see
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: on a daily basis is to such a level that
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: it's not surprising why he has productive. He is as
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a productive of major leaguer as he is. I mean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: he's in the batting cage taking three hundred plus swings
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: a day. He's getting to know Perry Hill on the
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: defensive side to find improvements and get really comfortable with
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: third base early work. There is a routine that he
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: has in the weight room, the way that he communicates
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: with the coaching staff. We had a chance to interview
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Kevin Seitzer during the game on Saturday, and we talked
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: him a little bit about and Brennan was one of
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: the guys he couldn't stop talking about. He said, Brennan's
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: a guy that comes up to me tells me exactly
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: what his approach or intentions are before every single bat
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: or for every single pitchure. So he's communicating very clearly
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: to the coaches so that they understand what makes Brendan
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Donovan tick.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: He's brand new to this organization.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: These coaches know what he's done production wise, but not
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: the process that gets into produce. That way, I always
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: encourage young players and that if there's parents or players
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: listening to this, I always encourage you if you want
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: your coaches, if you better at their job, communicate better
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: with them for what has worked for you, so at
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: least they are communicating within your ballpark and your knowledge.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Having grown up in Saint Louis myself and still in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: contact with a lot of Cardinal fans, I already knew
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the reputation of Donovan when he got there, and I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was sort of prepared for it. And yet you can't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: prepare for it. Then you sit down with him and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, now I do get it. But
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: as a professional baseball player, somebody that has been in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse, it's your clubhouse. You've been a Mariner for
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a while. And then somebody with his kind of positivity
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: walks in. Do you does it take you a little
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: while to like, wait, mint is this guy for real
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: or not? Or is it just blatantly obvious? With guys
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like Brendan Donovan.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: You can like your your BS meter is pretty good
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: in the clubhouse of understanding if the guy is if
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: he's just show or if he's if he's real. And
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: for me, like Brendan Donovan's a guy, if I was
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: in that clubhouse with him, I would be attaching myself
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: to the summer guards like, hey, man, I would love
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: to see what you do a little more, especially if
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: as a young guy, I would attach myself to him
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: and just say, hey, do you mind if I had
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: to shadow you today, like I just want to see
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: what your day looks like and just observe. He's that
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: type of player where yes, we know what he does
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: in the field of production, but so many players they
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: learned that curiosity side of what makes this guy tick.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I think that's what that separates players of professional ranks.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: If some guys are so fixated on what they do
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and what makes them successful instead of what's that one
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: percent that I can find that helps take me to
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: that next level? And I do believe that Brendan donnovan
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: is going to bring that for a lot of players
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: that are currently in the clubhouse, and also some minor leaders.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Minor leaders they got to spend some time around him
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: this spring.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Ryan, what's your expectations for Cal and and Julio for
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: that matter, I mean the two kind of main cougs,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the nucleus of this squad. I mean, Naylor, you got
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys this year. I think this is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the best roster they've had in a long time, But
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: just those two guys in general, what are your expectations
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: for these guys?
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: My expectations of Cal is for him to be steady Eddie.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: He's gonna punch out, like we know that. How quickly
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: does he get his timing down? How quickly does he
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: get that big strong body organized the plate. I've watched
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: him play three times live all last week, and I
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: felt like the quality of the swings got better day
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: by day. I think he played three games in the
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: twelve that he was gone for for the WBC, so
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: not a whole lot of the bats. A guy that's
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: used to playing every day, and you remember this Bucky,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: the bigger body guys longer limb just heavier guys, it
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: takes us a little bit longer to organize our swings,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: get our timing and our rhythm down to feel like
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: we're almost connected and in sync. As returning, I didn't
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: see that from him for the first couple of days,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: and I think that's leading to the strikeouts. But I
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: actually read some quotes about him this morning. He's like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I don't care about the results in spring I care
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: about how I'm feeling. Am I taking my swing at
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: my pitch? And He's like, I've seen dudes that rake
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: and spring training and really struggle in the season. I've
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: seen guys that you know, struggle in the spring training
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: and raking the season like it doesn't determine what type
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: of year you're gonna have. But he's also not a
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: guy who's gonna put expectations on himself of I have
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: to hit sixty homers this year. If it's a failure
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: for Julio, I'm expecting to see him come out with
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: a little bit more energy to start the year. Based
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: off of what I was watching the w That's been
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: the big question mark for him, is he can he
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: have a similar first half that he that he does
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: in the second half. If he does that, we're gonna
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: see an MVP season out of him.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Former Mariner cornerman Ryan Healey, our guest here on Chucking Buck.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Here Ryan last year during our postseason run. We enjoyed
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: having him as a a routine guest, and now we're
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: hoping to have him back a lot this upcoming season
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: as we start a brand new campaign and he joins
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: us for the first time in twenty twenty six right
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: here on the show, Josh Naylor. What kind of impact
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a full season of Josh Naylor does that have on
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the team, on the clubhouse, the whole kitten Kaboodle.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I think he's a similar comp to a Brendan Donovan,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: someone that's going to raise the floor of that team
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: and organization overall. And it's funny. It's things that you
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: wouldn't expect, Like he's stole twenty plus basis last year
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: as a first baseman. They're not really a fast guy.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: He's gotten to the point in his career where he
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: can start adding things onto his plate. His bandwidth has
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: expanded because he knows what it takes to execute the
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: little things and regular basis. But he gets on basin
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: spring training, and he is pushing guys to run, like
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Brendan Donovan was on second base, Josh Naylor's on first base,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: and he was day near halfway to second base, trying
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to push Brendan Donnovan to steal third like he wanted
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: to do a double steal, and he was trying to
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: orchestrate it from the backside of it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And then you get on.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: First like and he's just playing games with the pitcher
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: like he's he's doing things in a different way, observing
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: the game through a finer or clearer lens now and
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: he's accepting that challenge. And I do believe that other
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: players in that clubhouse have already noticed it, have recognized
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: him as a leader, and are going to follow on
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: some of the things that he's doing.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Cal was arguing that to us that I'm faster than him,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: aren't I? And he was trying to get confirmation from
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: us that he that he's faster than Josh Naylor. I'm
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: not sure your answer.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I think we said yes, but you're just feeding
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: the ego.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, play right in that big head that Kyle's got, now,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: this big dumper, I mean.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Dude, all right, one thing I got to ask JP.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Crawford's shoulder has been bugging him in and played a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: whole heck of a lot in the spring. Got a
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: quarter zone shot. Those are wonderful, by the way, magic
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: magic shots that make you feel a lot better. What
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: do you anticipate, the band aid if he's not ready
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to go in the beginning of the season, you think
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be Revos playing mostly there or it is
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Bliss capable of playing shortstop.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I think you'll see Revos. So they've been playing Cole
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Young a little bit shortstop as well. If they're trying
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: to give themselves some just some options there, if they
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: have multiple and we'll see JP within the first few
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: weeks of the season, is my guess. I had a
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: chance to catch up with him a little bit on Saturday.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I was like, bro, what are you doing? Like it's
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: too late in the year to be nursing or too
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: early in the year to be nursing his shoulder thing.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go. But he's in good spirits about it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: The bigger thing is I got talked to Justin Hollander
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: about this the GM and you know, he was like,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: we can throw JP out there any day and he
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: can pick it with the best of them. But if
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: we want to give him a chance to get his
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: timing down so he feels comfortable to play, and I
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: think he only had fifteen sixteen at bats so far
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: in the spring, so if we can get him, let's
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: just say another twenty to forty over the next few weeks.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Even if he stays down here to get him, he'll
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: be fine. I know they would like to have Master
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Bony to be able to come on there and be
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: that bench roll while we displays from shortstop, but obviously
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: he's nursing the lower extremities injury, so I think we'll
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: probably see Bliss take that over. But we do know
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: that Cole Young earned that second base spot so so
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: well demanded that spot with his performance every day. Looks
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: a lot more physical playing at great second base. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: would expect them to displace as few guys as possible
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: so that they can allow the guys to settle and
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: that'll be their everyday players. So I wouldn't be surprised
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: if we saw Leo Revas playing shortstop every day.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Did you get a look at Emerson at all? Cold Emerson,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I did. I told Goldie.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: This Aaron Goldsmith, and I said he blended in today,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and he's like, what does that mean. I was like, well,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: you either blend in or you stand out on the
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: baseball field. And you can stand out in two ways
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: by doing something extraordinary or doing something terrible. Or you
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: can blend in and just look like you're a big
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: league look at your professional and just do the little
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: things the right way every single pitch. And I felt
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: like he did that. He commanded the strike zone, he
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was able to have quality bat at their quality bat,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and he played a sound shortstop. That's a guy that
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: blends in and looked like a big leaguer to me
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: at what twenty years old? I didn't look like that
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: at twenty years old, boys, I can tell you that much.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: You see.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you this as well, though, but your skyrocketing
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: with your media superstardom, I mean, you're already on a
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: nickname basis with a lot of people on the older
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: D list, Celebrity Goldie and Holland Z. You know, he's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: already he's already dropping names down there. Ryan Healy is
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: with us here on Chuck and Buck in the Morning.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: We got to ask about the pitching before we wrap up.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've just come to take it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: for granted here. That's how good we think that they are.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Is there any fear that they won't be as good
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: as we think? Or is there something too like, oh,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: brace yourselves. They're getting they're about to get a lot better.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Where are you at with the pitching staff?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I actually saw the top three guys go this. We
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: actually didn't see Logan Gilbert throw. He threw in a
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: leven am B game we'll call it. I believe it
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: was on Friday. I saw George Kirby throw Saturday. He
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: looked tremendous. Obviously, Brian Wood did what he does, going
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: six just sound innings on Sunday.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: They look great.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I know they're looking forward to getting Bryce and Miller back.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: The left obleak has been nursed a little bit. They're
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: gonna be very cautious with this. Emerson Hancock has looked
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: really good as well. The numbers, the era, you know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: the Arizona era isn't what you want to look at,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: but the.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Overall stuff, it's electric. Out of his hand.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: It's a two seam four scene combo that's like ninety
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: six to one hundred with the really good slider curveball combo.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I like what I see there, and if he's gonna
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: fill into R five, we're good. I honestly believe they
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: just picked the name out of the hat for the
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: opening day starter. They had nothing but great options and
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: guys that deserved it. Have been happy for any one
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: of the guys that goten not to do it. So
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I'm happy for Logan Gilbert. I know the other guys
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: are as well.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we're happy to have you back. It's good to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: see you, good to chat with you. I'm looking forward
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to several more conversations this year. I would just ask
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: this and this. This is not explain why I'm asking this.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: This is just for informational purposes. If you've got ten
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: swings right now in the cage, how many would you
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: hit up.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Off of a machine or off of like a VPVP
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: VP Probably between four to six.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it's an interesting bar there.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I'm bucking.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I push a seven if I get a little bit
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: of warm up rounds in there. Yeah, how do you
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: think Bucky's getting?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many would you get?
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: I don't know. The days of nine are of those days?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Are gone. We're gonna hope for one. We're gonna just
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: be happy with anything above zero.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Wow, still the seven.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe you think I hit a lot. I'm in the
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: KG three days a week with a bunch of high schoolers.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not afraid to hop on there, and you throw
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: a metal bat in my hands. Boys, I'm dangerous. I'm
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: scaredy dangerous.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Let me see you, man, and we'll talk again soon.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: How's that sound? I look forward to it, all right?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Ryan Haley former marin are joining us right here on
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the morning. All right, coming up next,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Seahawks JSN. That's a check mark spoon, probably a check
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: mark soon. But what about that running back position? When
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: were we gonna check that mark? Sports Radio ninety three

  Speaker 1: He has heads out tonight, you know, takes family out
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to the old Ponderosa. You think I have himself a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: steak and a salad bar. Everybody head on out of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the Golden Corral.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Dinner's on me.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: I wonder what it would be like to have a
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: day like that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: But do you like to just have just that kind
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of you know, Hey, guys.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: Just made one hundred and twenty mils.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: So justum, want to go to the you want to
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: go to dinner or.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's on me pizza. Yeah, it's on me by who
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you'd like?
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: That'd be nice.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Nice, that'd be nice. I suddenly hate JSN. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I don't hate.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: I'm sure jealous.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I'm jealous.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: I mean you're nice, you're athletic.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, I ran great player, But I just realized, oh boy,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I'm really I don't like you anymore.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I realized how much ill a lot more when
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: you were only a little rich.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: JSN signs the deal with already had the conversation this morning.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that this is an organization that this is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: one of the easy decisions to make in the National
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Football League. There are a lot of tough ones for
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: general managers. This is the easy ones and the ones
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that screw this up. Those are organizations that can't get
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: out of their own way. He has earned it. He
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: is twenty four, he's the best, he is among the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: best at his position in the game, and his contract's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: coming up soon. So why are you going to try
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to offer him something cheap or low and try to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: get a deal out of him. Make the deal that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: makes him happy, that's not too crazy, out of the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: realm of unaffordable. And this is the price of doing
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: business in the National Football League. You draft a good player,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you develop a good player, he turns out to be
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a great player, pay him great money. And that's what
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: they've done with him. And I want the same thing
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to happen to Witherspoon, and I want it to happen
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: this offseason because I don't even I don't even want
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: it to go into next offseason, which they could do
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and then create a riff between Well, you did it
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: for him, why can't you do it for me? Just
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: do them both? Get it done? This is easy. Well
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I bet they do.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, because it makes sense, right, It's like we
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: talked about earlier. If you have, if you've earmarked some money,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: and because you think that you know, Devin Witherspoon, like JSN,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: is a part of your future, which typically you draft
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: somebody in the first round hoping that they become what
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: these two players have become, and then you pay them,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and you pay them before you have to pay them,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: because the quicker you get him to sign on the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: dotted line, it is less money than the longer you wait.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Is js an't going to have a like a bad
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: year next year that would all of a sudden you
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: would be able to get him for twenty five million dollars.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: No, not otter.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You want him to.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right, you don't want him to, and he's just
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: not going to.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, once you have enough on your resume, like
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon even has probably more on his resume. Maybe
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: not Offensive Player of the Year, maybe it's not as
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: as high profile of a position, but he still has
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowl after Pro Bowl since he's came in. You
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: want to get him to sign a long term deal
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: as soon as possible before anybody else jumps up there
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and kind of continues to raise that bar I think
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: they're going to do it. I think that it makes
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: sense where you can spread the thing out. I mean,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: this one with Jasn Smith and Jigbaz comes out to
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: forty two million in change per year. But because you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: have this year, the extension they already signed him to
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: next year, plus this four year deals, it ends up
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: being six years. You have him through twenty thirty one,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that you get to kind of disperse all this money over,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: which makes it to where now it's more affordable. You're
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: paying him the most of any other wide receiver in
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the league.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Do you know that for sure?
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just scrub next year's it doesn't kick in next year.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. No, I mean it's the
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: average of the whole thing.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the fifth year extension or fifth year they.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Did the fifth year, Yes, but this is only the
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: fourth year that's actually coming up, right, And so then
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: there's the fifth year that they did.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Now when they.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Put this, it's it's it's not a it's a four
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: year extension on what he already has.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: And so this is through the twenty thirty one season.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You have him through his year twenty nine years yeah, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean it's it's just a smart decision.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: It's you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: If you already know this dude we're building around, then
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: you do the deal like this. And I mean it's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a reason why, like you said, John Schneider is on
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: fire right now.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I do it with Witherspoon. And then for
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: those that are like, oh, you can't pay that much
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: money to so few of players, no, you do for
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the right ones, and the salary cap keeps going out.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I say it again, I mean if you weren't watching
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the free agency. I mean I heard a conversation with
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Pete Prisco with you know the Yahoo's on the right
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: end during free agency frenzy, and and he was like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: they're all overpaid. Well, no, it's the price of the market.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: But you're right in a sense that once you start
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: seeing some of these other contracts to players that have
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: question marks, then the contracts of forty two million for
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: JSN guy without question marks megel, I would rather sign
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that guy. I'll pay more for the guy that Not
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: only do I think he's a ten out of ten
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: in terms of his game, but I think he's ten
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: out of a ten in terms of how he plays
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: off of others in the locker room. And I say
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the same thing about Witherspoon. Those are easy decisions to make,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and you make the difficult decisions on the Kobe Bryants.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: We really like Kobe Bryant, but is he really worth
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: fourteen million? That might be one we have to walk
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: away from as much as we like, and we might
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: You make those decisions on running backs, No, they're not
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a dime a dozen. And it sure is a lot
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: easier to find a good running back that can run
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the football for you than it is to find a JSN.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: And that's durable. That's the other thing. You need, a durable,
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: healthy running back, right.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And so here we sit and we don't know what's
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: going to happen with a running back situation. But I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: hope that's not keeping you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Up at night.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: No, I just you know, they're going to figure out
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a plan, and we got a long way to go
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: in this offseason. They're going to figure out a play.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think they're probably gonna fall short of
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: having someone as gifted as ken Walker. I think that's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: probably going to be true at the end of the day.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But I do also believe that they're going to end
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: up with a group of running backs that will get
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the job done on an otherwise complete team. And so
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that's just it. Yes, we do have an issue. You know,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've planned anything for dinner, but
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: in our situation, just so happens. We're married to Bobby Flay,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think he'll figure it out. Yeah,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you know, Oh no, did we get to the bride
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and groom a car for you know, to drive away
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: from the wedding. Don't worry about it. One of the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: groomsmen is Piero Ferrari. Yeah, he'll provide something if we
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: need him.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: We're gonna get to training him and be like, oh,
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: you know what we forgot, guys, we forgot to get.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: A running back.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Well, not only a they're going to be prepared. They're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: going to have a really good plan for it. You know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: my mom has falling down and no one can.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Get there to help her.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Oh I remember my roommate is doctor Strange. Yeah. So
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like, Okay, we've got an issue. We've
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: got a vacancy, We've got a void right now. But
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we have an entire offseason. We got the hottest head
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: coach in the National Football League and the hottest general
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: manager in the National Football League. I think we're going
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to solve this before it's all said and done.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, ultimately, I think if there is one thing,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: if I was to fast forward to, you know, the
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: day before the first game of the season, what is
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: in question, it's that one. So it's a it's a
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: great talking point for us doing sports talk radio. Okay,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: how are you going to They're going to address it,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: but how and what are you How are you going
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: to feel before one person has taking a snap and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: ran the ball? How are you going to feel compared
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: to how you felt last year when you had Ken
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Walker and Charboney. I mean, you know Shark, and he's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: gonna come back at some point in time. But whoever's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: going to be that the person replacing Ken Walker is
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: still a question. And I think it's going to be
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: interesting to see how they tackle it. Even though we
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: know that they're going to tackle it, and at this point,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: the hot streak they're on, you don't even shouldn't even really.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Doubt it a whole lot. It kind of feels like
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: they kind of got an idea what they want to
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: do well, and.
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: It's not like it's snuck up on them that they
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: had to do this with JSN and devinnis.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: Oh my god, you guys, wait a minute, we have
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Walker leaving.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: Didn't sneak No, not that either, because they didn't seem
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: like they were very eager to keep.
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: Him, or they would have done it a long time ago.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: No, No, they're good, They're they're in a fine place.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And we are nine days away from Draftmas beginning, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: we'll start figuring out how to fill out that room
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: through draftness. You know, wh I like Mike Washington junior
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: out of Arkansas. I think that's a nice replacement one
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: of Mark James's thirty eight favorite college teams.
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So true.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: It looks really nice when you have six teams that
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: you can cheer for. He always brag, my team is amazing,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: which one? Well my second.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Team, man, my team's out.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Oh really, well, my other teams are in.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought he was really going to be upset
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: by Miami getting knocked out. He's got He's got Arkansas.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: He's got a fallback plan, that guy. All right, One
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: last thing next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: r f M, final segment of the show here on
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: this Monday. And then I've been a really really busy show.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: My goodness.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, real busy.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we have time for one last thing. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: even when we don't, we make time for one last
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: right thing. So what do you got, Bucky?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I think I already mentioned it, But a big day today,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: big the Emeralds, the MS as we are, we have
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: shortened it the m's first day, so opening day for
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: the eight slash nine U Emeralds, and I couldn't be
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: more excited. I spent I would say, probably ten times
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: too long yesterday thinking about my lineup is there.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: It's you know, it's normal, stay managerial jitters that actually.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: It does feel like it to someday. I have no
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: idea why. I mean, we are going to walk the house.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I can guarantee it. We're gonna get walked. There has
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: not been a lot of practice because of the rain.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: There's you know, I mean, we went over some very
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: important things, but there there's a long ways to go.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, whether they know when they have to run
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: because of a force or not run like and then
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: you know, less than two outs, you've got to make
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: sure the ball's down, that type of thing. There's so
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: much that they don't know, and we haven't got to
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: practice it yet, and so yeah, nervous. And then I'm like, Okay,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I've only got to see these kids hit like twice.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: How am I gonna make this line up? But I'm
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: gonna do it. And I think I got a winner.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: And so I'm not sure exactly who we're playing, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: you are in for it because you can't win them all.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: You don't win the first.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: One, that's true. I only know one player on your team. Yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: so where is he hitting? That's been a tough one
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: for me because I'm not one. I'm not the dad
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that's going to just play favoritism. But then again, did
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: just yard Yeah, third and fourth and fifth and second. Yeah,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just figuring he's just gonna hit the whole time.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: The other kids can just have their bats and helmets.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hit my own son fourth. He's gonna
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: hit second and.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Sixth, right, of course everybody knows that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know where. I mean, I'm
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: probably not. He probably is gonna be getting fourth. But
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: there's another kid We've got. Jacks says the pencil. Pencil
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: back back. Yeah, Jack, says Jason Jack the ball.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: All right, I got one more question and then we
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: got to get to Ashley's one last thing, all right, short,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: just to try to figure out, like how much your
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: players love baseball, because I've suggested you need to get
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: a sasquatch mascot. You know, if you're if you volume said, like,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: is anyone would anyone rather be the sasquatch mascot than
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: actually be on the team. How many people you would
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: raise their hands?
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: I'm certain of one.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: Probably a couple, but then they'd realize, oh, you can't play,
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: But first they'd just be excited.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably two or three. Probably two or three. I
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: am positive half the team. If I said you you
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: either going to catch or you're the mascot, there's half
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: the team. I'd rather be the mascot. That was one question.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I said, who wants to put the gear on and catch?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: And there was well, there's a couple of My time
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: in Baron is like I want to catch. All want
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to do it, but some of them are like, I
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: do not want to catch.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: One kid's like, please don't pitch me. I'm like, I
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: won't in game one, but you are going to pitch
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: at some point this season. Okay, every read's gonna play
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: pretty much everywhere. One kid is not going to catch.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: I can promise you that watch that kid who doesn't
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: want to pitch be the best pitcher.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Possibly Skip.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I prefer not to wear the tools of ignorance if
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: he had, you know, one of them said that, well,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: you're you're starting the game back there. Yeah, good luck,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: all right, Ashley, what's your one last thing? So?
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: I was driving in this morning and I was I
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: heard a commercial that was like, we can pretty much
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: guarantee that you are not thinking about your.
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: Wipers right now.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Boy, were those idiots wrong, because I actually was thinking
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: about my wipers. My rear wiper was not wiping my
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: back window well enough, and I just was cleaning it
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: and everything, and I was like, now is that better?
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: Is that better? And that commercial came on.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: And they couldn't have sounded more foolish.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: You showed them.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh, you thought I wasn't thinking about
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: my wipers, morons.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I heard the same thing, and most people, I think
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: were in the same category as me, Like, you know what,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I wasn't thinking, Yeah, my wipers.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I actually have been lately because it's been raining so much.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I bet you it's rained on eighty percent of our
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: drives to work six and I think my wipers are
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: like starting to fall apart today. I have been thinking about.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: See, and that's the thing.
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: Today my window was all frosted over, so I had
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: thought out and stuff, and then the.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah it was wiper a wiper mayhem.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I think that commercial was for rain X and Rainex
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: is amazing on the freeway. I don't even have to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: use my wipers just with Rainex, you just drive.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: It Rex wipers.
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: It just Rex wipers.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Well, and Rainex just the whole thing is very helpful
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: in Seattle.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: But they're not very smart because I was definitely thinking
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: about my wipers.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: They didn't see you coming.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: They didn't. Man, you showed them. Uh huh.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm gonna close with this, and unfortunately our audience
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: won't be in on this question, but I'm gonna ask
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: of the two of you anyway, is Luke from sales,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Like if we had to cast a movie, is see
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: like a poor Man's chamol at Challome, oh Timothy Shalamon
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: or man shallow Luke from Sales? Yeah, I can see that, Like,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: if we cast a movie, he'd play Luke.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, unless he needed a.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Bigger role because he's such a star. Maybe he wouldn't
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: want to play the small role of Luke the sales guy.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe in like the first movie, that's where he'd be.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: But then in the second movie, we don't know. Maybe
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: Luke's the start coming up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe what the movie is if it's forty year old
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: virgin or in this case, twenty seven year old virgin.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's the star, so it would be Shallomy.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, you're right, Yeah, we need to make the movie
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: around you exactly so that we can get Chalome to play.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: He would for sure be.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Played by show here to talk sports because he knows
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: a lot.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: He does really like himself some sports.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: That guy. I actually really really like him.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: But I do like the fact that we just cast
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: him or a movie about him that would be something
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: along the lines of a twenty seven year old virgin.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, then we could have Kylie bringing us free makeup products.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I was going to make the movie about Shube that.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I think this is a better ideas, so much better.
• 35:54
