Speaker 1: me Wednesday morning to you. I hate starting that way. Monday. Yeah, exactly,
0:53
Speaker 1: great Wednesday. I don't even know why I said that,
0:55
Speaker 1: because I'm sitting here going, oh, it's hump Day today
0:57
Speaker 1: as as I'm listening to the intro, and then I
1:00
Speaker 1: said Monday for some reason.
1:02
Speaker 2: Well maybe you were thinking when you thought hump day,
1:04
Speaker 2: then in your mind you went Monday.
1:06
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what happened, just had a little
1:08
Speaker 1: brain part. Yeah, I'm nuts. Good morning to you, Great
1:12
Speaker 1: morning to you, Happy Wednesday to you, Happy hump Day
1:16
Speaker 1: to you, and welcome into our radio show. As we
1:20
Speaker 1: get started here, it is Chuck and Ashley with you
1:23
Speaker 1: until ten o'clock this morning, and this show is packed.
1:27
Speaker 1: I don't mind telling you. I'll show it to the
1:29
Speaker 1: YouTube crew. Look at that.
1:31
Speaker 3: That is to start the show as a busy show sheet.
1:33
Speaker 1: That is one busy show sheet. And yes, I do
1:36
Speaker 1: handwrite it, much to the chagrin of a lot of
1:39
Speaker 1: people that work with me. I don't know why, but nonetheless, yeah,
1:44
Speaker 1: look at that. Now. I make notes throughout the four
1:46
Speaker 1: hours of the show that fill up the sheet typically,
1:50
Speaker 1: but I've already started, well a filled up sheet today.
1:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, where your note's gonna go?
1:54
Speaker 1: Where are my notes gonna go? It's a great point.
1:56
Speaker 1: I've even had to go over with some notes on
1:58
Speaker 1: the second side under a second page.
2:00
Speaker 3: Has that ever happened before?
2:02
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh it is usually I like seven before the
2:05
Speaker 1: end of the show. But anyway, the point is that
2:08
Speaker 1: we're already starting jam packed and who knows what twists
2:12
Speaker 1: and turns we're gonna take here during the course of
2:15
Speaker 1: the show today. But that's good. That's good. I love content.
2:19
Speaker 1: That's what we deliver. We got all sorts of things
2:21
Speaker 1: from all sorts of different sports to discuss today. The
2:24
Speaker 1: beautiful game continues, but we are going to begin today's
2:29
Speaker 1: radio program with the Mariners, and not only a win
2:33
Speaker 1: last night. But wow, what a day, What a day
2:37
Speaker 1: for the Mariners, What an experience that dropped into their lap.
2:44
Speaker 1: And they knew they were injured, and I guess not
2:47
Speaker 1: until yesterday afternoon did they realize just how injured that
2:51
Speaker 1: they were as a team, getting people back, seeing how
2:55
Speaker 1: they would react from treatment, seeing how they would react
2:58
Speaker 1: from a couple of nights of sleep. I don't know
3:00
Speaker 1: if Randy didn't communicate, hey, my my leg's not feeling
3:04
Speaker 1: any better. I don't know when they found that out,
3:07
Speaker 1: but when they found that out, it obviously created a
3:09
Speaker 1: bit of a mess. And by the time they got
3:12
Speaker 1: to opening pitch yesterday, and this just doesn't happen, Just
3:16
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. In the game, they had one bench player.
3:19
Speaker 1: They had one bench player that they could use, and
3:21
Speaker 1: that was their backup catcher who they used taking infield
3:26
Speaker 1: at first base, because they found out when they got
3:28
Speaker 1: to the park yesterday, we don't have a first basement.
3:32
Speaker 1: Our starter's not available to us. Maybe we should have
3:35
Speaker 1: known that.
3:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like those are things you should know.
3:37
Speaker 1: And Luke Rayley is not available to us either, and
3:41
Speaker 1: so they ended up having a tryout at first base.
3:45
Speaker 1: Apparently before the game started between their backup catcher Mitch
3:49
Speaker 1: Garver and then their do everything infielder Miles Master Bony,
3:54
Speaker 1: Master Bonie, I guess one the latest American Idol.
3:57
Speaker 3: Oh congratulations, Yeah, nice superstar.
4:00
Speaker 1: Well you got the gold slip. Yeah, he's heading to California. So,
4:04
Speaker 1: but for a while there, Paula really threw him off
4:06
Speaker 1: with her facial expressions. I really thought he was going
4:09
Speaker 1: to get bad news, and it turned out to be great.
4:11
Speaker 2: I like that we're going back to American Idol with
4:13
Speaker 2: paul Abdul.
4:14
Speaker 1: That's the last time I watched. Yeah, so Master Boney
4:17
Speaker 1: plays the first base. Garver's your only bench player, and
4:20
Speaker 1: that's how you start the game. Last night, I mean, Ashley,
4:23
Speaker 1: we were supposed to like coll the jp are.
4:28
Speaker 2: The clubhouse is gonna be great, and there's gonna be
4:30
Speaker 2: so much energy and everyone's gonna be ready to.
4:32
Speaker 1: Go gsy everybody. Chelsey cal first and foremost great to
4:42
Speaker 1: have you back. Secondly, can you play first base?
4:46
Speaker 3: Thirdly, you're the only one we've got.
4:48
Speaker 1: What kind of background do you have medically? Because we
4:51
Speaker 1: really need all hands on deck right now. This is
4:55
Speaker 1: like the baseball equivalent of the Civil war. Do you
4:59
Speaker 1: know how a splinter leg? Because we need you. Could
5:02
Speaker 1: you give me a finger. I'm gonna need you to
5:05
Speaker 1: put your finger and press down on that blood pressure
5:07
Speaker 1: otherwise we're gonna lose this soul bit.
5:09
Speaker 3: Show me your tourniquet skills.
5:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, hold your hand right there. I'll be right back
5:15
Speaker 1: with the gauze.
5:19
Speaker 2: And then you just look at the bench and it's
5:21
Speaker 2: headwood ran and arm slings.
5:24
Speaker 1: Like Cawra and JP comeback playing their flutes with their
5:29
Speaker 1: head bandages on.
5:34
Speaker 3: That's how we went into the game and we won miraculously.
5:41
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're up against it. And of course we
5:43
Speaker 1: got all those tweets how we were supposed to win
5:45
Speaker 1: a game with this lineup? Well, I hope this is
5:48
Speaker 1: the last piece of evidence that you need for how
5:51
Speaker 1: baseball kind of works. And I'm not trying to lecture here,
5:55
Speaker 1: but we just get so many like, how were we
5:57
Speaker 1: supposed to win a game with this lineup? Well, you
6:00
Speaker 1: win a game with that kind of lineup because number one,
6:02
Speaker 1: everybody in the lineup, whether they should be bench players
6:05
Speaker 1: or should be lefty righty platoons or whatever the case
6:08
Speaker 1: may be, every single one of them that was in
6:10
Speaker 1: our lineup last night is a bona fide professional baseball player. Correct,
6:14
Speaker 1: So let's just start there, and then number two. It
6:19
Speaker 1: just goes to show you when you get a fantastic
6:22
Speaker 1: pitching performance, which we did last night. That was Logan
6:26
Speaker 1: at his very best, you can beat anybody. You can
6:29
Speaker 1: beat anybody with any lineup. You can beat anybody with
6:32
Speaker 1: the best lineup. If your pitcher great pitching beats great hitting,
6:37
Speaker 1: and if your pitcher goes out there and slings it
6:40
Speaker 1: the way that slim Pitchings did last night, you got
6:43
Speaker 1: a chance to win any game that you play, regardless
6:47
Speaker 1: of the lineup. And so not only did he strike
6:51
Speaker 1: out ten, which probably was pivotal because you are playing
6:55
Speaker 1: a couple of guys. I mean, we had a corner
6:56
Speaker 1: infield of guys that had never played those positions before. Yeah,
6:59
Speaker 1: that was fun, an adventure, and yet it didn't get exposed. Yeah,
7:03
Speaker 1: because our pitcher struck out twelve of the twenty seven outs.
7:07
Speaker 1: Logan struck out ten. And there really wasn't much action.
7:14
Speaker 1: I mean, good the good thing. I didn't really want
7:16
Speaker 1: to test JP to see what he could and couldn't
7:20
Speaker 1: do last night, but he held his own. He seemed
7:23
Speaker 1: a little shaky on the foul ball, which I was
7:25
Speaker 1: a little surprised by. Maybe the wind was messing with him.
7:29
Speaker 1: But the foul ball he seemed to struggle with, you know,
7:32
Speaker 1: just crossing over the line, crossing over potentially the base.
7:36
Speaker 1: You're not used to that, so he struggled with that
7:39
Speaker 1: a little bit. But and Miles Masterboney really didn't have
7:41
Speaker 1: a difficult play. If I'm Josh Naylor, I'm like, why
7:44
Speaker 1: couldn't I have a night like that?
7:45
Speaker 4: Right?
7:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, that never happens me.
7:48
Speaker 2: It's like they know I can catch most things, so
7:50
Speaker 2: they just try to test it.
7:52
Speaker 1: I'm always thrown. They're always throwing me into runners. I'm
7:55
Speaker 1: always having a dance around big people, sprinting down the baseline.
7:59
Speaker 1: And Master he's just getting simple soft tosses over to him.
8:03
Speaker 1: I like him. I like that one of these days.
8:05
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean that just goes to show
8:08
Speaker 1: you it doesn't matter like who you're up against. I mean,
8:10
Speaker 1: you could play the worst, and you can play the
8:12
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies in a three game series. They got a
8:14
Speaker 1: chance to sweep you. I mean, that's not out of it.
8:17
Speaker 1: This is baseball, and you can go out there with
8:21
Speaker 1: a beaten up team and one bench player. And if
8:24
Speaker 1: you've got Logan, Gilbert and cal Raley back together again, reunited,
8:29
Speaker 1: and it feels so good. And Logan has been building
8:32
Speaker 1: up to this point. We've watched him getting better here
8:35
Speaker 1: in the last few starts, and then last night, after
8:38
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bump in the first inning,
8:41
Speaker 1: he just locked in. And anybody, because Logan is so happy,
8:46
Speaker 1: go lucky, and he's so likable and he's pretty much
8:50
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite person to have around on the team. And
8:56
Speaker 1: don't confuse that he is one of the fiercest competitors
9:00
Speaker 1: on that roster. Underneath that hood, you know, it might
9:03
Speaker 1: look like, you know, the family truckster, you know the
9:07
Speaker 1: family wagon, But underneath that hood revs a HEMI. That
9:11
Speaker 1: guy loves himself some competition. And to get his battery
9:15
Speaker 1: mate back last night, his best buddy back last night,
9:18
Speaker 1: to get back onto the same page. He was just
9:22
Speaker 1: brilliant and he gave you the chance to win. And
9:24
Speaker 1: all you needed was to slap together some base runners
9:27
Speaker 1: in the seventh inning against a guy that you shouldn't
9:30
Speaker 1: have this much trouble solving in Brandon Young and lo
9:32
Speaker 1: and behold, you're gonna win a baseball game. And they
9:35
Speaker 1: did it last night, and it was. It was wonderful.
9:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
9:40
Speaker 2: And it was surprising because again there were a lot
9:43
Speaker 2: of people very very nervous about that lineup. I was
9:45
Speaker 2: actually like, oh, look, we get to see JP at
9:48
Speaker 2: third Finally they are doing it. And I'd heard that
9:50
Speaker 2: he was warming up there and you know, testing it
9:53
Speaker 2: out and again, and so I thought, at least we're
9:57
Speaker 2: moving forward with things we talked about weeks ago and keep.
10:02
Speaker 1: And you could have you could have made the decision
10:04
Speaker 1: that day like we've got too much change, we got
10:07
Speaker 1: too much chaos. Yeah, let's just today might not be
10:10
Speaker 1: the day to test JP at third base. But they
10:12
Speaker 1: did it anyway, and probably good they did. I'm I'm
10:16
Speaker 1: not sure JP does make that play at the end
10:18
Speaker 1: of the game up the middle that Cold Emerson played.
10:20
Speaker 1: Maybe he makes it, Maybe he makes it. Maybe I'm
10:22
Speaker 1: being a little bit unfair. I just you know, I've
10:25
Speaker 1: established I just think Cold's a better defensive.
10:27
Speaker 2: Shortstop, right and I think and so it was nice
10:29
Speaker 2: to be able to see like, Okay, well this could work.
10:32
Speaker 2: At least it worked yesterday. We and especially when we
10:34
Speaker 2: were dealing with the depleted lineup that was the most
10:37
Speaker 2: surprising depleted lineup in the history of baseball. But I
10:41
Speaker 2: did think too with a I think with the foul
10:43
Speaker 2: line because you know, you don't want to. They don't
10:45
Speaker 2: want to. When he walks off the field and stuff,
10:47
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to touch the line. So he probably
10:49
Speaker 2: thought like, it's like Moonlight Graham, if you go over
10:51
Speaker 2: the line, you can't come back.
10:53
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you brought up Moonlight Graham. I didn't
10:55
Speaker 1: know if you would get that reference because I was
10:57
Speaker 1: going to talk about Moonlight Graham today and not for
11:00
Speaker 1: those reasons. But we have a Moonlight Graham on our
11:04
Speaker 1: roster now. Curtis Washington Junior was activated last night for
11:11
Speaker 1: the game. And this is just something in sports, and
11:16
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, I read plenty of this last night.
11:19
Speaker 1: What are we doing one ninety batting average? And Hi,
11:24
Speaker 1: hey this is a clown show. Hey, this was one
11:28
Speaker 1: of the coolest stories that we've we're going to see
11:32
Speaker 1: this year. Now, if you want to blame them because
11:36
Speaker 1: the doctors didn't go home to make sure Josh Naylor
11:39
Speaker 1: and Randy Rose arena, maybe they should have tested them
11:41
Speaker 1: on the day off rather than find out. Okay, you
11:44
Speaker 1: want to criticize them for that that maybe they could
11:46
Speaker 1: have with a day off, gotten ahead of just how
11:50
Speaker 1: banged up we actually are. I think there's I think
11:52
Speaker 1: there's room for christ that. Yeah, yeah, maybe, I mean
11:56
Speaker 1: you want to try to give them their day off
11:58
Speaker 1: as opposed to, hey, you come in, we got to check.
12:01
Speaker 1: You kind of have to trust the players. That's what
12:03
Speaker 1: you do in typical situations. You sort of trust the
12:05
Speaker 1: players that if there's something bad, they'll tell you and
12:08
Speaker 1: they'll come in the extra day for treatment. But maybe
12:12
Speaker 1: there's an argument to be made we should have kept
12:14
Speaker 1: a closer eye on that. We should have forced Randy
12:16
Speaker 1: and Josh in because we put ourselves in a position
12:19
Speaker 1: where we didn't have bench players. All right, weal away. Yeah,
12:23
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know exactly what was going on
12:25
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but it seems a bit indefensible that
12:28
Speaker 1: you got caught that flat footed by the number of
12:31
Speaker 1: injuries when you knew all of those guys were injured
12:35
Speaker 1: when they left the field Sunday. So you know, you
12:38
Speaker 1: want to go after that, but don't go after we've
12:41
Speaker 1: activated Curtis Washington, Junior because that's a great story and
12:46
Speaker 1: we might have a Moonlight Graham on our hands. The
12:49
Speaker 1: only sad part about the story is that he didn't
12:52
Speaker 1: get to play last night because the game was so close,
12:55
Speaker 1: and he might get Moonlight Graham. Yeah, that might be
12:58
Speaker 1: the closest he got to the bench. He put on
13:00
Speaker 1: a major league uniform, even though he didn't arrive until
13:02
Speaker 1: the fifth inning. I'm sure he would have loved to
13:05
Speaker 1: have had it at that. The only way that was
13:07
Speaker 1: going to happen is if we were up ten to one, I'm.
13:10
Speaker 3: Blowing out or getting blown out.
13:11
Speaker 1: Right, and so it would have been nice. He was
13:14
Speaker 1: just seemed to be happy to be there. There was
13:16
Speaker 1: a great scene with Colt Emerson and he where Colt's like,
13:19
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're here, and they know, hugged and
13:23
Speaker 1: talked about the entire day and the experience. But we're
13:26
Speaker 1: talking about somebody that was twenty six years old, still
13:30
Speaker 1: at high A. Everett was not having a good year.
13:36
Speaker 1: Like the future's not real bright for Curtis Washington junior.
13:40
Speaker 1: That guy's not going to make it to the major leagues.
13:42
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just cut to the chase. He was
13:44
Speaker 1: not going to make it to the major leagues. He
13:46
Speaker 1: was never going to put on a major league uniform
13:49
Speaker 1: unless something weird like last night happened. And it wasn't
13:53
Speaker 1: just for a feel good opportunity for the Mariners. This
13:57
Speaker 1: was we need a bench player, and we need him
13:59
Speaker 1: right now. We don't even have time to get him
14:00
Speaker 1: from Tacoma right because of traffic, right because not that
14:04
Speaker 1: much difference. We gotta get him. So we're gonna bring
14:09
Speaker 1: We're gonna we don't have Brendan Davis available to us
14:12
Speaker 1: because he's on the injury list. I mean, so we're
14:15
Speaker 1: gonna we need some sort of bench player, somebody that
14:18
Speaker 1: if we need defense or we need a pinch runner,
14:21
Speaker 1: something of that nature, he can fill that. And this
14:24
Speaker 1: is also an opportunity to give him a major league
14:29
Speaker 1: you put on a major league uniform, which he's probably
14:32
Speaker 1: not going to get otherwise. I mean, yes, I think
14:36
Speaker 1: there's criticism for having gotten caught flat footed as an organization.
14:40
Speaker 1: Why did you not know the severity of your injuries
14:43
Speaker 1: until the afternoon of the game. So yes, whale away
14:47
Speaker 1: on that. But this Curtis Washington story is actually fun.
14:51
Speaker 1: The only thing sad about it is that that was
14:54
Speaker 1: probably it because I don't think he's gonna be on
14:56
Speaker 1: the roster today. Connor Joe's expected to get activated. They've
15:00
Speaker 1: got twenty four hours to kind of figure out their
15:02
Speaker 1: bench going forward. Rayley's got an extra day rest, Naylor's
15:05
Speaker 1: got an extra day rest. You don't know what's going
15:07
Speaker 1: to happen on that front. Curtis Washington Junior. That was
15:10
Speaker 1: probably the last time he's ever gonna wear a major
15:12
Speaker 1: league uniform, and it was to arrive late in the
15:14
Speaker 1: fifth inning, put on the uniform, sit there, try to
15:18
Speaker 1: soak in as much as he could, and wonder, are
15:21
Speaker 1: we gonna build a big enough lead for me to
15:23
Speaker 1: get into the game. And yet he had a smile
15:26
Speaker 1: you couldn't take off his face. It was understandable. Yeah exactly,
15:29
Speaker 1: And I mean, what a story to tell with nothing else.
15:32
Speaker 3: Exactly. I was gonna say, what a moment for him.
15:34
Speaker 2: And one day when he's telling his kids and his grandkids, well,
15:36
Speaker 2: I wouldn't I was in a major league game like
15:38
Speaker 2: I was on the I was on the bench, got
15:41
Speaker 2: there in the fifth inning.
15:42
Speaker 3: I mean, just the rush to get there.
15:44
Speaker 2: This I don't imagine the story, Yeah exactly, being told
15:47
Speaker 2: you're going there. That's not something that you're you know,
15:50
Speaker 2: like in Takoma, you're Cole Emerson was sitting there waiting
15:53
Speaker 2: for the call. When am I going up right? Kate
15:56
Speaker 2: Anderson's in Arkansas waiting for the call? When am I
15:58
Speaker 2: moving somewhere else?
16:00
Speaker 1: Curtis Washington sitting there was not He's sitting there waiting
16:03
Speaker 1: for When he got called in, it was You're done.
16:06
Speaker 1: That's what I guarantee you. He walked into their thinking
16:09
Speaker 1: he was being told it's not really coming together, Curtis right,
16:13
Speaker 1: and so we're gonna let you go, try to make
16:15
Speaker 1: room for another player, and we wish you the best.
16:17
Speaker 1: You've been a great person to have around here. That's
16:20
Speaker 1: what I almost bet you. That's what he thought, and
16:22
Speaker 1: instead he heard your going to the majors with a
16:24
Speaker 1: one ninety batting average at age twenty six at high A. Yeah,
16:28
Speaker 1: I mean so yeah. So from that standpoint, so it
16:31
Speaker 1: is very moon like Grahammy it's interesting you bring it
16:34
Speaker 1: up because I was planning on making that reference the
16:37
Speaker 1: entire time and someday, and I know exactly how he's
16:39
Speaker 1: going to do it. He's going to be sitting in
16:41
Speaker 1: his doctor's office some weirdo and a leather jacket's going
16:45
Speaker 1: to come in and try to convince him to drive somewhere,
16:48
Speaker 1: and he's gonna explain to him like.
16:52
Speaker 5: I wish I could have had a wish. I could
16:54
Speaker 5: have gone to the plate, drove one into the alley,
16:59
Speaker 5: stretched out to double into a triple, wrap my arms
17:02
Speaker 5: around the bag.
17:04
Speaker 2: That's giving me chills, and then though the nice that's
17:07
Speaker 2: my wish, that's my wish, Jerry Depoto, that's my wish.
17:13
Speaker 5: Now I got to get home to Alicia, so I'll
17:16
Speaker 5: see you later.
17:17
Speaker 2: No, wait, Moonlight, you can't leave yet. You gotta save
17:19
Speaker 2: this girl who's choking on a hot dog.
17:24
Speaker 5: Want to wink at him like I know what he's thinking.
17:27
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when he does wink, Oh god, he's winking
17:32
Speaker 2: at me.
17:33
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. We got to see Archie Graham and he
17:36
Speaker 1: didn't get isit bad either? But he is going to
17:38
Speaker 1: be in Baseball Reference. Well, I don't know. I don't like.
17:42
Speaker 1: Maybe he does, Maybe he isn't. I wonder if he
17:44
Speaker 1: gets credit because he didn't play in a game he
17:47
Speaker 1: was on a roster. I don't know if he'll make
17:48
Speaker 1: it into the encyclopedia, but he does have that story
17:52
Speaker 1: to tell, so uh, good for him on that front.
17:54
Speaker 1: And yeah, if we were gotten down to it and
17:58
Speaker 1: Curtis Washington was the reason we would have won or lost,
18:02
Speaker 1: then I'm sure we would be telling a different story today.
18:05
Speaker 1: How could you have ended off with that? But the
18:09
Speaker 1: fact that you won the baseball game and the Curtis
18:12
Speaker 1: Washington story was a great side story to last night
18:16
Speaker 1: fun stuff. All right, let's find out what's on tap
18:18
Speaker 1: for the rest of the show. What's on TEP, what's
18:24
Speaker 1: on toe? All right, Mariner's Three Orioles one last night.
18:27
Speaker 1: There are thirty eight and thirty six on the season.
18:29
Speaker 1: They'll host the more Baltimore Orioles again today. It'll be
18:33
Speaker 1: George Kirby against Kyle Bradish. Injuries Randy or Rose Arena
18:38
Speaker 1: to the il Rayley and Naylor are both considered day today.
18:42
Speaker 1: And it was also announced yesterday that the Piggyback will
18:46
Speaker 1: be back and bigger and better than ever. Apparently every
18:51
Speaker 1: single one of the six starters that they can't fit
18:55
Speaker 1: into a five man rotation over the course of the
18:57
Speaker 1: next three weeks will learn what it is to piggyback.
19:01
Speaker 3: We're getting our Piggyback piggy back back.
19:05
Speaker 1: And I do appreciate the Divish as he has now
19:10
Speaker 1: divided it up into Friday will be the first piggyback
19:15
Speaker 1: of the new Piggyback and it will be the same
19:18
Speaker 1: old piggybackers. Bryce Miller will go to Luis Castile, but
19:23
Speaker 1: that's just coincidence, that's just how it timed out. Bryce
19:27
Speaker 1: will be the carrier according to Divish, and Castile will
19:30
Speaker 1: be the writer. So we've even got designations for the
19:37
Speaker 1: piggyback pitchers being used. We now can call them something
19:41
Speaker 1: I like that a carrier and a rider. And so
19:46
Speaker 1: they're going to do this with all six of them
19:48
Speaker 1: over the span of three spins. Through the rotation that
19:52
Speaker 1: is irritated an awful lot of people, but it is
19:54
Speaker 1: made Ashley and I happy, and I really think under
19:58
Speaker 1: the circumstances, it's not a bad idea. So we're going
20:02
Speaker 1: to get into that a little bit later on. In
20:03
Speaker 1: the show College World Series, Texas and Troy we're both
20:07
Speaker 1: eliminated yesterday, so we have a final four set. North
20:11
Speaker 1: Carolina will take on West Virginia at eleven am today
20:14
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma will take on Georgia at four pm today
20:18
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and North Carolina are in the driver's seat, meaning
20:22
Speaker 1: because they are two to zero in this tournament and
20:25
Speaker 1: West Virginia and Georgia have lost a game, that means
20:28
Speaker 1: that West Virginia is going to have to beat North
20:30
Speaker 1: Carolina twice in a row, where North Carolina just has
20:33
Speaker 1: to win one of their next two games, and then
20:35
Speaker 1: the same thing applies with Georgia to Oklahoma. World Cup Argentina. Finally,
20:40
Speaker 1: Leonel Messi debuted in the World Cup last night and
20:44
Speaker 1: scored all three of Argentina's goals as they won over
20:48
Speaker 1: Algeria three to one. The Hurst household couldn't have been happier.
20:52
Speaker 1: England will debut today at one o'clock versus Croatia, and
20:56
Speaker 1: of course we're counting down the days till Friday at
20:59
Speaker 1: noon when the US and Australia will do battle right
21:02
Speaker 1: here in Seattle at t Mobile on a day in
21:06
Speaker 1: Seattle sports that will undoubtedly be unforgettable, as you'll have
21:10
Speaker 1: US Australia Friday at noon, and then you'll have the
21:14
Speaker 1: Mariners and the Red Sox playing Friday evening and we
21:17
Speaker 1: will talk some American football today as well as Mike
21:21
Speaker 1: Sando's going to join us today for our Seahawks one
21:23
Speaker 1: series at seven five one analyst breaking down one key
21:26
Speaker 1: Seahawk player for one entire interview. We'll do that at
21:29
Speaker 1: seven oh five. And this is US Open week as well.
21:33
Speaker 1: Brady Cannon will join us today as he always does
21:36
Speaker 1: before a major, at eight o'clock to give us tips
21:38
Speaker 1: on who to bed on. Also at nine o'clock today
21:42
Speaker 1: our own Green Jacket US Open preview with a celebrity
21:47
Speaker 1: picker today at nine o'clock. So all of that coming
21:49
Speaker 1: up on the show. Coming up next, we'll get into
21:51
Speaker 1: the details of last night's three to one win over
21:53
Speaker 1: the Orioles. It's Mariners morning after here on Chuck and
21:56
Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
22:07
Speaker 6: Right up the cut, What a ball that is Messi
22:09
Speaker 6: on the turn, options on his side, Lano Messi.
22:12
Speaker 1: There's your goal.
22:14
Speaker 6: There's more history, whereas Clartony as far as Alexis McCallister
22:18
Speaker 6: are the text and all the same three about his
22:20
Speaker 6: Messy's second goal he fight had the night as the
22:24
Speaker 6: World Cups all top Tony Coconson is Lene Messi, Leno Messi.
22:33
Speaker 1: First career World Cup hat trick, I think Messi is
22:49
Speaker 1: Argentine or do they speak Spanish or Portuguese in Argentina?
22:53
Speaker 2: So I knew you were going to ask that, and
22:54
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I really wish I had the Spanish.
22:57
Speaker 3: I think you're right.
22:58
Speaker 1: I think Messi is Spanish for album two bay.
23:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, not for L two BA.
23:03
Speaker 1: It's probably Spanish or something. Little turn All right, good
23:07
Speaker 1: morning to you, seven o'clock hour. It is Chuck and
23:10
Speaker 1: Ashley with you as we roll into our number two
23:12
Speaker 1: on this great Wednesday, this humpday. We got headlines coming
23:16
Speaker 1: up and then that will lead right into our Seahawks
23:18
Speaker 1: one series with the great Mike Sando here in about
23:21
Speaker 1: sixty seconds, let's rip through those headlines. Argentina one yesterday
23:26
Speaker 1: their first match of World Cup play over Algeria three
23:29
Speaker 1: to one. Mess He scored all three goals. England debuts
23:33
Speaker 1: today at one o'clock versus Croatia. And of course we
23:35
Speaker 1: count down the second still US Australia Friday at noon,
23:40
Speaker 1: and you can hear that right here at Sports Radio
23:42
Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM. College World Series. Texas and
23:47
Speaker 1: Troy eliminated yesterday and so then there were four West Virginia.
23:51
Speaker 1: We'll take on North Carolina today. Oklahoma versus Georgia. Oklahoma
23:56
Speaker 1: and North Carolina in the driver's seat. West Virginia and
24:00
Speaker 1: Georgia would have to beat their opponents twice in a
24:03
Speaker 1: row in order to advance to the finals. Seattle Mariners
24:08
Speaker 1: won last night over the Baltimore Orioles three to one
24:10
Speaker 1: to improve to thirty eight and thirty six on the year.
24:13
Speaker 1: By the way, the Eighties and the Rangers both lost
24:15
Speaker 1: last night, it was a return of cal Rally to
24:19
Speaker 1: the lineup. He had the game winning two run single,
24:22
Speaker 1: and Logan Gilbert pitched the best game he's pitched all
24:25
Speaker 1: season long in a three to one win. Of course,
24:28
Speaker 1: the day was dominated by injury news. The Mariners put
24:31
Speaker 1: Randy a Rose Arena on the il, Josh Naylor was
24:34
Speaker 1: not available. Luke Rayley was not available in the game.
24:38
Speaker 1: Kind of a messed up situation, But the Mariners persevere
24:42
Speaker 1: last night and they win by a final score of
24:44
Speaker 1: three to one. Same two teams will play tonight at
24:46
Speaker 1: six forty. It'll be George Kirby for us. It'll be
24:48
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish for them. The Mariners also announced yesterday piggyback
24:53
Speaker 1: will be back for the next three turns through the rotation.
24:56
Speaker 1: At least that is the plan for now. US Open
24:59
Speaker 1: is this week. The NBA Draft is in six days
25:02
Speaker 1: and the Storm will be in Portland tonight to take
25:04
Speaker 1: on the Fire at seven o'clock, joining us now to
25:07
Speaker 1: talk some NFL football. He lives it, he eats it,
25:12
Speaker 1: he drinks it, he breathes it. It is our NFL
25:15
Speaker 1: insider from the athletic and today he's going to go
25:18
Speaker 1: a little local on our His national ass is going
25:22
Speaker 1: to go local on us as we are going to
25:24
Speaker 1: have him as part of our Seahawks one series. I'm
25:40
Speaker 1: Mike Sando.
25:41
Speaker 7: Good morning, how are you.
25:42
Speaker 1: I'm great, great to have you on. We appreciate it.
25:45
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Mike Sando's talents are deep, they are long,
25:50
Speaker 1: and so yes, he can talk anything in the National
25:53
Speaker 1: Football League. But I'm going to make you get specific.
25:55
Speaker 1: In our Seahawks one series. It's one analyst breaking down
25:58
Speaker 1: one key Seahawk player for one and entire interview. Are
26:01
Speaker 1: you ready to talk to some Cooper Cups, sir? I
26:03
Speaker 1: am yeah.
26:04
Speaker 7: What a what a pleasant surprise he was I think.
26:06
Speaker 1: For the entire league in his career or for the
26:10
Speaker 1: Seahawks last season.
26:11
Speaker 7: Well, well, I just thought when they signed up, I thought,
26:14
Speaker 7: I don't know, I mean, you know, is he gonna
26:16
Speaker 7: fall off here? The injuries all of that, and I
26:18
Speaker 7: think he ended up being a good contributor.
26:21
Speaker 1: Can he keep it going? He has He's not an
26:24
Speaker 1: old man, but he has shown age. He's certainly not
26:28
Speaker 1: the player that he was with the Rams, and a
26:30
Speaker 1: lot of people kind of scoffed when the Seahawks signed
26:33
Speaker 1: him to such a big contract. So can he keep
26:37
Speaker 1: it going in your estimation or is he at or
26:40
Speaker 1: near the wall?
26:42
Speaker 7: Well, if dosage is the key, his usage went way
26:45
Speaker 7: down last year, So I think that he can do
26:49
Speaker 7: that type of a role. You know, his you know,
26:53
Speaker 7: targets and if you were to project out his you
26:56
Speaker 7: know yards over the course of a season, if you
27:00
Speaker 7: on a seventeen game basis, you know what was way down.
27:03
Speaker 1: But he was.
27:04
Speaker 7: I think he was important for them in the playoffs.
27:06
Speaker 7: And when you look at their roster, it's not like
27:08
Speaker 7: they've got a bunch of sure bets. They have guys
27:11
Speaker 7: at the position, but they kind of need them, don't
27:13
Speaker 7: you think, Well, they're waiting for Tory Horton to come back, right, Yeah,
27:18
Speaker 7: Rashid Schahet has shown that he you know, can have
27:20
Speaker 7: a role, a very different role, and he's big on
27:22
Speaker 7: the special teams. But I don't know that there's somebody
27:26
Speaker 7: beside you know, JSN is there, but like they don't
27:30
Speaker 7: really have another number two receiver.
27:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean five hundred and ninety three
27:38
Speaker 1: yards last year on forty seven catches doesn't feel very
27:42
Speaker 1: number two. Wey to me, No, it's not yeah for them, right.
27:46
Speaker 7: Like he's if you look at their wide receiver catches
27:50
Speaker 7: last season and especially in the playoffs. In the playoffs
27:55
Speaker 7: last year, their wide receiver catches with js N seventeen
27:58
Speaker 7: Coober fifteen, next guy had three, okay, Rashid Shaheed. So
28:04
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna just filter it for the regular season here,
28:06
Speaker 7: it's kind of similar they go. They go seventeen ninety
28:11
Speaker 7: three yards for JSN, five ninety three per Cup, one
28:15
Speaker 7: eighty eight for Shahed, one sixty one for Horton. So
28:19
Speaker 7: you're hoping Horton comes back and has, you know, shows
28:23
Speaker 7: himself to be what they want him to be. But
28:26
Speaker 7: they don't really have anyone right who's done it.
28:30
Speaker 1: No, And I'm really curious because Mike Guy, I think
28:33
Speaker 1: they're going to do more double tight ends this year
28:35
Speaker 1: with Barner and Arroyo, and I think they're gonna use
28:38
Speaker 1: Oots if he's healthy, as a fallback, and all of
28:40
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're going from you're going to go to
28:43
Speaker 1: a lot more to receiver sets than I think that
28:45
Speaker 1: what is typical in the National Football League, and probably
28:49
Speaker 1: three max going forward most of the time. I'm sure
28:52
Speaker 1: there will be scenarios in which you go beyond that.
28:56
Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering when you have a when you
28:59
Speaker 1: have a wide res one who catches one hundred and
29:01
Speaker 1: twenty passes in a year, and yet they've invested a
29:05
Speaker 1: lot financially in both Shaheed and still paying a lot
29:09
Speaker 1: of money to Cooper Cup. So do you think they're
29:11
Speaker 1: going to get their money's worth out of those two
29:14
Speaker 1: guys considering how much that they are being paid for
29:18
Speaker 1: not being a typical number two wide receives.
29:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know, they may not on paper get
29:23
Speaker 7: their money's worth from it. I'm sure you're going to
29:25
Speaker 7: find other people for that money with better production, But
29:29
Speaker 7: I don't think it's all about that for them because
29:33
Speaker 7: of how they're going to play, and they also shifted
29:34
Speaker 7: couple a little bit. I think his role he was
29:37
Speaker 7: more out of an outside receiver than he's been in
29:39
Speaker 7: the past too in dosage. But I just don't think
29:43
Speaker 7: that they've made a series of bets here. But I
29:46
Speaker 7: think that those bets are almost like, you know, covering
29:51
Speaker 7: each other as opposed to need betting on one of
29:53
Speaker 7: them to be absolutely have the numbers as a receiver
29:57
Speaker 7: to justify it. And I think Shahied obviously makes us
29:59
Speaker 7: a differ on special teams, So that's a huge part of
30:01
Speaker 7: where that investment lies.
30:03
Speaker 1: Mike Sander is with us, our NFL insider from the
30:06
Speaker 1: athletic year. I'm all football season long with us. We'll
30:09
Speaker 1: do it again this fall as long as Mike is willing.
30:11
Speaker 1: And today our Seahawks one series, one analyst breaking down
30:16
Speaker 1: one key Seahawk player for one entire interview, and our
30:18
Speaker 1: point of focus is the veteran Cooper Cup. You mentioned
30:23
Speaker 1: Shaheed can justify his salary by being great in the
30:28
Speaker 1: return game. How valuable can you put a value on
30:33
Speaker 1: what Cooper Cup does as a teacher, as a presence,
30:38
Speaker 1: as somebody that can enrich an entire roster through intangible means.
30:45
Speaker 7: Oh, well, certainly the receiver position. I think they did that,
30:48
Speaker 7: they are putting a value on it. I think the
30:50
Speaker 7: difference between what you think his production should be and
30:53
Speaker 7: what they're paying for him is probably representative of that value.
30:59
Speaker 7: And that's all you heard last season was that, you know,
31:02
Speaker 7: the way that he works, the way that he approaches
31:04
Speaker 7: the game was very valuable to them. It's not that
31:08
Speaker 7: JSN and these guys don't do that too, but I
31:11
Speaker 7: think I think having some guys like that who've done
31:14
Speaker 7: it before at a high level and are still good
31:18
Speaker 7: enough to play, which he was made you know, touchdown
31:21
Speaker 7: catch against his whole team in the playoffs, and showed
31:24
Speaker 7: up in some key spots. Yes, I think that they
31:28
Speaker 7: obviously see value in that. To have him around that
31:32
Speaker 7: goes beyond his numbers.
31:33
Speaker 1: Well, he or someone else have to step up. Do
31:36
Speaker 1: you think defenses will adjust to Jsn's success last year
31:41
Speaker 1: to the degree that they'll force others to step up?
31:44
Speaker 1: Or I mean, let's face it, Mike, I mean, once
31:46
Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver one, once you're on that top shelf,
31:49
Speaker 1: when you're a Jerry Rice, a Jamar Chase, a Justin Jefferson.
31:53
Speaker 1: I mean, you always catch a hundred balls in a season.
31:58
Speaker 1: Is JSN just so special that they could repeat the
32:03
Speaker 1: same sort of dispersement of the ball this past year
32:08
Speaker 1: and have the same success.
32:09
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, everyone knew, you know, how good he was
32:12
Speaker 7: last year, and there wasn't a real great plan to
32:15
Speaker 7: stop him. I think he's a very difficult matchup for
32:18
Speaker 7: people because he's such a good all round player at
32:20
Speaker 7: the position and he's not reliant on any one thing.
32:24
Speaker 7: But I think he's a great technician. I think he
32:26
Speaker 7: has better speed than, you know, than he's probably given
32:29
Speaker 7: credit for. He's got the incredibly late hands, you know,
32:34
Speaker 7: where you kind of trick the defensive back into the
32:37
Speaker 7: balls even arriving as long as he has late hand,
32:39
Speaker 7: one hand goes out and you can still do that.
32:42
Speaker 7: And then I think in today's game, you know, the
32:45
Speaker 7: offenses do a very good job of moving people around
32:47
Speaker 7: and getting matchups. You're not going to shut down JSM.
32:52
Speaker 1: How valuable And have we slept on the value of
32:55
Speaker 1: a good blocking receiver over the history of our analysis
33:01
Speaker 1: of football, because Cooper Cup seems to excel at that
33:05
Speaker 1: as well. And for somebody that was you know, at
33:08
Speaker 1: one time putting up historic numbers as a receiver. For
33:11
Speaker 1: him to have developed that skill, I mean, I mean,
33:16
Speaker 1: do you can you just off the top of your head, Mike,
33:18
Speaker 1: I mean you you love the NFL more than anybody
33:21
Speaker 1: that I know. Can you just rattle off who the
33:24
Speaker 1: best blocking receivers are?
33:27
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean Hines Ward would be somebody who'd
33:29
Speaker 7: kick your butt, you know, I mean, somebody who's just
33:31
Speaker 7: a big physical presence. But I think Sean McVay there
33:34
Speaker 7: in uh with the Rams, They've done it all the time.
33:37
Speaker 7: Robert Woods would block, you know, Cooper Cup would block.
33:40
Speaker 7: It's a part of the DNA of the position there
33:42
Speaker 7: when they were running that you know, that offense he
33:45
Speaker 7: brought there, you know, with his own runs and stuff,
33:48
Speaker 7: which they've evolved the offense, but they I think they
33:50
Speaker 7: still want those guys to block. And it's a mentality
33:52
Speaker 7: And I think the Seahawks are a mentality and play
33:56
Speaker 7: style team. And what I mean by that is I
34:00
Speaker 7: can tell you a conversation at the at the Scout
34:02
Speaker 7: and Combine, I was in a hotel lounge, you know,
34:07
Speaker 7: having a little breakfast and there were coaches milling around,
34:10
Speaker 7: and I ended up talking to a special teams coach
34:12
Speaker 7: I think who had come out of some league meetings
34:15
Speaker 7: about you know, maybe it was concussions on kick returns
34:19
Speaker 7: or something, and he goes he said something like, and
34:21
Speaker 7: it seemed like all the plays were against the Seahawks.
34:24
Speaker 7: They're just kicking everybody's butt, you know, on these returns.
34:28
Speaker 7: That's kind of the mentality of the team, right, If
34:32
Speaker 7: you're gonna play defensive line for these guys, you can't
34:35
Speaker 7: be the guy who just shoots gaps for sacks. You
34:37
Speaker 7: play the run in Seattle, right, Yeah, that's that's part
34:40
Speaker 7: of it. To Marcus Lawrence all over the run when
34:42
Speaker 7: they signed him, not just a pass thrusher. If you're
34:44
Speaker 7: gonna play special teams for this team, you're gonna have
34:48
Speaker 7: to hit people. So that at the combine when somebody
34:50
Speaker 7: bumps into Sandal, they say, gow these guys are knocking
34:53
Speaker 7: people out. They have they have a different play style.
34:55
Speaker 7: You're gonna play wide receiver here for this team. You're
34:58
Speaker 7: gonna get after it and block. So I think that's
35:00
Speaker 7: just very much indicative of what got them the championship
35:04
Speaker 7: last year. And I think the Rams are going crazy
35:06
Speaker 7: in this offseason because they felt like they're the better team.
35:09
Speaker 7: But the play style throughout your roster is the toughness
35:12
Speaker 7: of your team, and somebody that Cooper Cup contributes to
35:15
Speaker 7: that in a way that other people don't. A Prima
35:17
Speaker 7: Donna receiver doesn't too, who has twice his numbers doesn't
35:20
Speaker 7: do that.
35:21
Speaker 1: I love how salacious Mike Sando made all of that sound.
35:24
Speaker 1: I was in a hotel lounge having an omelet and
35:29
Speaker 1: talking strategy.
35:31
Speaker 7: Strategy with coaches, you know, seeing what's going on, and
35:35
Speaker 7: they bring up the Seahawks. Yeah, yeah, you don't want
35:39
Speaker 7: to play the Seahawks.
35:41
Speaker 1: All right, Let's put Cooper Cup in historic perspective because
35:46
Speaker 1: you're one of the best at this Cooper Cup Hall
35:49
Speaker 1: of Famer.
35:52
Speaker 7: I hate it when you say that type of thing
35:54
Speaker 7: because if I say I don't know, Sando says he's
35:57
Speaker 7: not a Hall of Famer. I don't know that he
35:58
Speaker 7: has the stacked season of the numbered I think he'll
36:02
Speaker 7: have more of a nuanced case where you have to
36:04
Speaker 7: talk about the whole package, the big moments, the blocking
36:07
Speaker 7: and all of that, and so far, I don't know
36:10
Speaker 7: that we've seen that. Hines Ward's not in it doesn't
36:13
Speaker 7: have great momentum for it. So all of us who
36:16
Speaker 7: you know, do this, And if I knew you're gonna
36:18
Speaker 7: ask you that, I would just be compare his production
36:22
Speaker 7: to the guys who've gotten in. And then also, look
36:24
Speaker 7: at what have we been talking about the last couple
36:26
Speaker 7: of years who didn't get in? Right, it's harder to
36:28
Speaker 7: get in. So he has had two seasons of a
36:33
Speaker 7: thousand yards one of them was historic nineteen hundred. But
36:37
Speaker 7: you're gonna have a hard time in this current era
36:40
Speaker 7: finding guys to go into Hall of Fame with, you know,
36:44
Speaker 7: one Pro Bowl at wide receiver and two one thousand
36:47
Speaker 7: yard seasons.
36:48
Speaker 1: Well, I am gobsmacked by the way, because not only
36:51
Speaker 1: did I think that you would love that question, turns
36:54
Speaker 1: out you hated that question.
36:55
Speaker 7: Well I like it now that I looked at it,
36:57
Speaker 7: but you know I haven't even looked at it.
37:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, to see, well, how much does it matter to
37:03
Speaker 1: have maybe the greatest single receiving season of all time
37:08
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one? That is that a separator when
37:11
Speaker 1: you guys chop it up for Hall of Fame credentials?
37:16
Speaker 1: Can one season be so spectacular that it can color
37:20
Speaker 1: it in a more vibrant way.
37:22
Speaker 7: I think if it's with some other seasons that are
37:24
Speaker 7: somewhat close, you know, but you know, so for in
37:28
Speaker 7: Cooper cup that he had nineteen hundred and forty seven
37:30
Speaker 7: yards in twenty twenty one and then his next best
37:34
Speaker 7: year's eleven sixty one, then nineteen seventy four. So I
37:38
Speaker 7: think he's gonna go down as a really key contributor
37:41
Speaker 7: and somebody who had a great career. But the consistency
37:44
Speaker 7: of playing full seasons, being the number one receiver and
37:50
Speaker 7: then being I think it hurts you know too, if
37:52
Speaker 7: you're not if you're not physically imposing like, oh my gosh,
37:56
Speaker 7: we got to how we're going to match up with
37:58
Speaker 7: this guy this week, then the numbers really got to
37:59
Speaker 7: be there, right, So just do this, Like Tory Holt
38:02
Speaker 7: hasn't gone in yet. Compare the production, right, Tory Holt's
38:05
Speaker 7: like ten seasons of eleven hundred yards or something, right,
38:09
Speaker 7: and Cooper cups at two. So I think it would
38:12
Speaker 7: be a tough one, tough case to make for that level.
38:15
Speaker 7: I mean, that's a Hall of Fame.
38:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, still not bad for a kid from Yakamaal, Washington.
38:21
Speaker 7: Not bad, outstanding, and he's still going.
38:23
Speaker 1: Uh huh, And I would think he's probably nearing the
38:28
Speaker 1: end though, I mean, I mean, I know you're not
38:30
Speaker 1: in his head. But if Cooper Cup could you know,
38:35
Speaker 1: wrap this thing up with back to back super Bowl championships,
38:38
Speaker 1: do you think that's about as good a way as
38:39
Speaker 1: you can ride off into the sunset in the National
38:42
Speaker 1: all amazing?
38:42
Speaker 7: I don't know, though, I mean, I think he'll try
38:44
Speaker 7: to go as long as he can. He surprised me
38:48
Speaker 7: so far, I thought, you know, and I think the
38:51
Speaker 7: Rams gave the impression. But you know too, I think
38:53
Speaker 7: Cooper would say that that he was near at the end.
38:56
Speaker 7: That he was, but it was really important for him
38:58
Speaker 7: last year to be used in moderation. They're not sending
39:00
Speaker 7: them out there and wearing them out right. So in
39:04
Speaker 7: this type of a role, I think he could do
39:06
Speaker 7: this longer.
39:08
Speaker 1: And then a coach.
39:10
Speaker 7: Right seems that he said he wants to be a coach.
39:13
Speaker 1: It just seems like he's already doing it. It seems
39:15
Speaker 1: like he already loves doing it. So why wouldn't you
39:18
Speaker 1: make that.
39:19
Speaker 7: Tell you about let me tell you about how the
39:22
Speaker 7: coaching thing works so that he goes.
39:24
Speaker 1: You want to pay me what to work how many hours?
39:27
Speaker 7: So right now, the NFL players work about thirty nine
39:31
Speaker 7: hours a week, you know, during the season. Yeah, and
39:33
Speaker 7: then on top of that, whatever film you know, we
39:35
Speaker 7: put in on top. But I'm sure Cooper Cup's important that,
39:38
Speaker 7: so you can just pretty much double that. And then
39:41
Speaker 7: instead of making whatever Cooper Cup's making this year, what's
39:44
Speaker 7: the salary this year?
39:46
Speaker 1: What sev.
39:48
Speaker 7: Seventeen million? They say, Hey, Cooper, we do have a
39:51
Speaker 7: role here. We can start you out at you know,
39:56
Speaker 7: one seventy five hundred and seventy five. Is that so
39:58
Speaker 7: good to you?
39:59
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, exactly.
40:01
Speaker 7: I can remember this was funny.
40:02
Speaker 1: I want to be first covered the sea. Can I
40:05
Speaker 1: get on that coaches if he doesn't want it, Yeah.
40:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. It's just all relative, right. So I remember
40:12
Speaker 7: when Howard Ballard was the right tackle of the Seahawks.
40:14
Speaker 7: He played for Buffalo and then they signed him this
40:16
Speaker 7: big free agent deal. He wanted to coach the offensive line,
40:20
Speaker 7: and when you find out how much it paid, he
40:24
Speaker 7: didn't really want to coach the offensive line. Yeah, it's
40:26
Speaker 7: just a hard thing. So maybe for the love of
40:28
Speaker 7: the game, but would be pretty special.
40:32
Speaker 1: You should try talking them into a radio career, No
40:36
Speaker 1: doubt about it.
40:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt about it.
40:38
Speaker 1: But the sticker shock there is quite.
40:40
Speaker 7: The seventy five sounds great unless he've been making seventeen million.
40:45
Speaker 1: Right, but it doesn't sound as good, that's true. All right? Well,
40:48
Speaker 1: are you going to take any time away from football
40:50
Speaker 1: or on your vacation summer vacations? Do you still just
40:53
Speaker 1: think about full Yeah?
40:54
Speaker 7: No, no, I'll definitely take some time, you know in
40:59
Speaker 7: July the first up with two three weeks of July,
41:01
Speaker 7: pretty much on vacation right now. I'm you know, battling
41:05
Speaker 7: a little bit of a cold here and get some
41:07
Speaker 7: projects done. We have quarterback tears going and plenty of
41:10
Speaker 7: stuff to keep you busy. Made some trips you know,
41:12
Speaker 7: with good teams, so very good was out of Seahawks recently.
41:15
Speaker 7: So it's all all good.
41:16
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for joining us. That was fun. Yeah,
41:19
Speaker 1: thank you? All right. Mike Sando, our NFL insider from
41:22
Speaker 1: the athletic joining us right here on Chucking Buck for
41:25
Speaker 1: our Seahawks one series one top analyst bringing down one
41:28
Speaker 1: key Seahawk player for one entire interview. And today we
41:31
Speaker 1: chopped it up over Cooper Cup. Coming up next to
41:34
Speaker 1: the ABC's of the MS on Sports Radio ninety three
41:36
Speaker 1: point three kJ r F.
41:38
Speaker 3: M Oh, now you feel all clean.
41:40
Speaker 1: Not yet, we're but we're getting there. We're getting better.
41:42
Speaker 1: We're getting better. We're tiding things up a little bit.
41:45
Speaker 1: It's Chuck and Ashley with you. It is time for
41:47
Speaker 1: the abcs of the MS. Here on Sports Radio ninety
41:49
Speaker 1: three point three kJ r FM. It is brought to
41:52
Speaker 1: you by the Sunset Auto Family and Sumner and Auburn.
41:55
Speaker 1: You just get more at Sunset and people do like that.
41:58
Speaker 1: So we left off of the yesterday and d is
42:01
Speaker 1: for Dumper. He makes his return last night and triumphantly,
42:06
Speaker 1: not just a win, he was also the guy responsible
42:10
Speaker 1: for the game winning hit. I thought he looked much
42:14
Speaker 1: more comfortable and confident at the plate than last we
42:17
Speaker 1: saw him. I know he only had one hit on
42:19
Speaker 1: the day, but he worked a walk, He put everything
42:22
Speaker 1: in play last night, and then he does come through
42:26
Speaker 1: with the big hit in the big moment, which is
42:28
Speaker 1: what we're used to seeing out of cal Raleigh. And then,
42:31
Speaker 1: of course, most importantly, you might argue as a catcher
42:37
Speaker 1: what he did for Logan Gilbert last night. Look, Logan
42:40
Speaker 1: has been ramping up to this point, He's been getting
42:42
Speaker 1: better with each outing and I think that he does
42:44
Speaker 1: like throwing to Johnny Pareda and Mitch Garver, but it's
42:48
Speaker 1: just a different ballgame. These two just know each other
42:50
Speaker 1: so well. And I think that we talked about what
42:54
Speaker 1: kind of lift cal Raleigh could give to this team
42:57
Speaker 1: just by his mere presence. Ryan Healy told us yesterday,
43:00
Speaker 1: it means everything to this team. That was his answer. Everything.
43:04
Speaker 1: That's what it means to this team to have cal
43:06
Speaker 1: Rawley back. Well. I certainly think it means a lot
43:09
Speaker 1: for Logan Gilbert to have his buddy back.
43:12
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And I mean you could even hear it
43:14
Speaker 2: in his postgame comments. I mean he was lighthearted and
43:18
Speaker 2: fun and laughing, and the two were able to give
43:20
Speaker 2: each other like the.
43:21
Speaker 3: Little ribbings in an end game, which.
43:24
Speaker 2: I think is important, especially in a you know, where
43:26
Speaker 2: every pitch is such a big deal, you know, and
43:30
Speaker 2: everything's going You need everything to go smoothly, and sometimes
43:34
Speaker 2: you get a little stressed out and to have that
43:36
Speaker 2: person that can lighten it for you real quick too
43:39
Speaker 2: is important.
43:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he almost plunked him as well on his
43:42
Speaker 1: first day back. Think he forgot that Logan likes to
43:45
Speaker 1: take little walks.
43:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's like, take the ball.
43:48
Speaker 1: I wasn't really paying attention. I mean, he didn't want
43:51
Speaker 1: to hit him in the face, but as long as
43:54
Speaker 1: it didn't hurt him, I think he would have got
43:57
Speaker 1: a laugh out of it. George did. Yeah, Georgie got
43:59
Speaker 1: a big laugh out of it last night, and the
44:02
Speaker 1: two of them got a laugh out out of it afterwards.
44:06
Speaker 1: Logan said, well, that just shows you how inaccurate a
44:08
Speaker 1: thrower he is, to which Cal responded, I don't know
44:13
Speaker 1: how I missed your big head. So yeah, good to
44:16
Speaker 1: have those two back together. And so the dumper just
44:19
Speaker 1: he just brings so much. And frankly, as Ryan and
44:22
Speaker 1: I talked about, he does look different as a hitter.
44:26
Speaker 1: The whole approach looks different. He does look more on time.
44:29
Speaker 1: I know he had the check swing, and believe me,
44:31
Speaker 1: he wants that back, but just the confidence at three
44:35
Speaker 1: and oh, I mean he tried to hit a ball
44:37
Speaker 1: one thousand feet last night. He took maybe the most
44:41
Speaker 1: aggressive swing that I've ever seen him take last night
44:45
Speaker 1: on three and oh, and I was glad he got
44:46
Speaker 1: the green light. Been foolish not to give him the
44:48
Speaker 1: green light in that situation, but he also swung at
44:51
Speaker 1: like two pitches outside of the strike zone before he said,
44:54
Speaker 1: you know what, a walk's fine here, and he eventually
44:57
Speaker 1: took the walk. So great to see him back despite
44:59
Speaker 1: all the other things that were going on last night.
45:02
Speaker 1: Great to see him back. He is for Everett. And yes,
45:06
Speaker 1: the short ride from Everett for Curtis Washington was all
45:11
Speaker 1: the Mariners could pull off yesterday. Tacomo's out of town,
45:15
Speaker 1: which is something I should have brought up in our
45:16
Speaker 1: first segment. The Rainiers were not in town, ok so
45:21
Speaker 1: at the time that they had to make a decision
45:24
Speaker 1: on Randy a Rose Arena and we don't have a
45:27
Speaker 1: bench player. The best they could do was get someone
45:32
Speaker 1: in their organization from the nearest ball field, and that
45:36
Speaker 1: was Everett Washington. So Curtis Washington Junior makes the trip
45:41
Speaker 1: with traffic, gets there in the fifth inning, and I'm
45:44
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. I mean, it was great to
45:46
Speaker 1: see how excited he was and see him in his
45:49
Speaker 1: Mariner uniform and he's got a great story to tell.
45:52
Speaker 1: But there's a sad component of this as well. That
45:55
Speaker 1: might have been his major league career. Well, we watched
45:58
Speaker 1: last night him racing to Everett to put on the
46:01
Speaker 1: uniform and sit on the bench and be welcomed by
46:06
Speaker 1: major leaguers in a big league ballpark. He's a twenty
46:09
Speaker 1: six year old hitting one ninety at high A. I mean,
46:13
Speaker 1: the future does not look real bright for Curtis Washington.
46:17
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he'll ever get another at bat.
46:20
Speaker 1: I mean, Connor Joe's going to be activated today. I
46:22
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe they keep him on the roster for
46:24
Speaker 1: another day or two. We'll see, but that's probably it
46:29
Speaker 1: for him. That's probably the story he's going to tell
46:31
Speaker 1: his grand children about his major league experience. So I'm
46:36
Speaker 1: glad that he got that. But what a crazy side
46:39
Speaker 1: story sidebar to last night's game.
46:41
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and that just tells you too, how in
46:43
Speaker 2: a pinch they were, because the fastest you could get
46:46
Speaker 2: someone there from thirty miles north was five innings into
46:50
Speaker 2: the game.
46:50
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
46:51
Speaker 2: So, I mean imagine if Everett had been gone, then
46:54
Speaker 2: what if everyone was out of town? Unless maybe they
46:57
Speaker 2: I wonder if they do that strategically, keep make sure
46:59
Speaker 2: one team's town.
47:00
Speaker 1: Well, it's one of those I mean, if you knew
47:04
Speaker 1: a guy playing like, because really he was brought in
47:08
Speaker 1: if we have another injury in the game, we need
47:11
Speaker 1: somebody that can run bases and catch a baseball. Yep.
47:15
Speaker 1: You know. I think your buddy Alex pointed out, it's
47:17
Speaker 1: kind of the equivalent of when the hockey goalie goes
47:19
Speaker 1: down on the road, the backup and then you just
47:22
Speaker 1: pick up somebody who on the local team knows how
47:26
Speaker 1: the equipment goes on, right, you know that sort of thing.
47:30
Speaker 1: And so that's the version, the baseball version of that
47:33
Speaker 1: last night. Now, if you want to criticize them for
47:36
Speaker 1: they had a day and a half to kind of
47:39
Speaker 1: evaluate everybody, I know they wanted to give those players
47:43
Speaker 1: a day and a half to you know, recover from
47:46
Speaker 1: the weekend and the injuries. But to be that caught
47:50
Speaker 1: off guard yesterday afternoon when you knew how many guys
47:54
Speaker 1: were injured and then have to scramble that way probably
47:59
Speaker 1: probably a little careless, right, I mean, I don't know
48:02
Speaker 1: if I can defend that. I can appreciate the position
48:05
Speaker 1: that they were in and what they had to do
48:07
Speaker 1: in order to get a team on the field last night,
48:10
Speaker 1: but pretty careless. You had a whole day off to
48:13
Speaker 1: kind of figure out whether or not Randy's injury was
48:16
Speaker 1: more serious than it actually more serious than we thought
48:20
Speaker 1: that it was.
48:20
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean we criticized them when they called
48:22
Speaker 2: up cold Emerson because it happened just last minute and
48:26
Speaker 2: he had to race from Tacoma in traffic to get
48:28
Speaker 2: there before the game started, because it was was it
48:32
Speaker 2: that when Donovan went out went onto the IL, Yeah.
48:35
Speaker 3: And they'd known, I mean they didn't.
48:38
Speaker 2: It was a Saturday afternoon game or something, and then
48:40
Speaker 2: the Sunday when night game was when he was playing,
48:43
Speaker 2: and it wasn't. They didn't give enough time then either.
48:45
Speaker 2: So this isn't the first time that it's been like, ooh,
48:47
Speaker 2: let's wait till the last minute to designate someone to
48:50
Speaker 2: the IL.
48:51
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I don't know, the behind the scenes stuff
48:54
Speaker 1: might not be fair.
48:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
48:56
Speaker 1: Maybe they did cover all of their basis and Randy's
48:59
Speaker 1: injury took a turn. I don't know. Maybe they thought
49:01
Speaker 1: Naylor was going to be I mean, the days reporting
49:04
Speaker 1: began with Ryan and this was just a few hours
49:08
Speaker 1: before we found out he was going on the IL,
49:11
Speaker 1: like an hour or two before saying that he might
49:14
Speaker 1: be available off the bench last night that's how the
49:17
Speaker 1: reporting started. And then within a couple of hours he's
49:21
Speaker 1: going on the IL and not only is Naylor not available,
49:25
Speaker 1: Why is Naylor not in the lineup? Oh yeah, yeah,
49:28
Speaker 1: the shin and the wrist and whatever else has got
49:31
Speaker 1: going on. All right, I understand that, but why is
49:33
Speaker 1: Rayley not playing first base? And then we find out
49:37
Speaker 1: Rayley got banged up as well during the weekend. So,
49:40
Speaker 1: I mean, Hollander said it himself, I've never seen anything
49:43
Speaker 1: like it in all my time in baseball at the
49:45
Speaker 1: position player having to scramble like this to try to
49:47
Speaker 1: find healthy guys to put a team on the field.
49:49
Speaker 1: But that's what they went through last night.
49:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is crazy.
49:52
Speaker 2: It's like it's like Little League when everybody has something
49:55
Speaker 2: going like a school concert and you can't put together
49:58
Speaker 2: a game.
49:58
Speaker 3: That's basically what it feels like.
50:00
Speaker 1: I hope Randy wasn't put on the IL because this
50:03
Speaker 1: kid had a school concert. All right. Finally, f is
50:06
Speaker 1: for the five man rotation. It is back, but a
50:11
Speaker 1: little unlike any kind of five man rotation we've ever
50:14
Speaker 1: heard about. We're going to talk about it next and
50:16
Speaker 1: Reckless at Breakfast Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM
50:20
Speaker 1: Cup on Friday. Why not head Oh, we're there for
50:22
Speaker 1: some breakfast in the morning, and then you watch yourself
50:26
Speaker 1: a little World Cup, maybe put a little action on
50:28
Speaker 1: it at the Draftking sports Book. And then once that's over, man,
50:33
Speaker 1: you're just in position to do whatever you want. The
50:35
Speaker 1: world's your oyster right there at the Draftking Sports Book.
50:38
Speaker 1: To Lala Presort, to Casino, it's waiting for you when
50:41
Speaker 1: all you want is everything, Talala Psort Casino is calling.
50:45
Speaker 1: And yeah, that could be a nice, nice alternative way
50:47
Speaker 1: if you like to avoid things like traffic and stuff
50:49
Speaker 1: like that and high costs and things of that nature.
50:52
Speaker 1: Maybe you actually will walk away having made more money
50:56
Speaker 1: by going to a place than having spent more money.
50:59
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do that here at SODO on Friday.
51:02
Speaker 1: Sure ask you that.
51:03
Speaker 2: Those beers are going to make you lose money all
51:05
Speaker 2: on their own.
51:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can go watch the game and actually go
51:08
Speaker 1: home with more money than.
51:09
Speaker 3: You showed up with. What a novel idea, think about it?
51:12
Speaker 1: It's great, all right, Time to get a little reckless
51:15
Speaker 1: at breakfast, we'll start our US open previews. Finally coming
51:18
Speaker 1: up at eight o'clock with Brady Cannon, who always joins
51:22
Speaker 1: us for every major here on Chuck and Buck. But
51:24
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Mariner's decisions, because there's just this element,
51:29
Speaker 1: let's just face it, when it comes to baseball. I
51:31
Speaker 1: don't know why it's baseball more so than anything else.
51:34
Speaker 1: The moment the Mariners do something pretty much, you go
51:38
Speaker 1: to social media and everybody that hates it. It's just
51:40
Speaker 1: the dumbest idea that has ever come up with. So
51:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to just tick off a few things here
51:45
Speaker 1: quickly and reckless at breakfast. So Parada gets sent down,
51:49
Speaker 1: when Cal comes back, and Mitch Garver stays on the team.
51:54
Speaker 1: This is the right decision. Now, I realize that they
51:57
Speaker 1: put themselves painting themselves in a box yesterday. I don't
51:59
Speaker 1: know how that happened. Again, I'll explain that again. I
52:03
Speaker 1: don't know how you ended up with only one bench
52:05
Speaker 1: player last night. I don't know how you misread the
52:08
Speaker 1: room that much on just how injured your players were.
52:11
Speaker 1: But you'd already committed to some guys like Wisdom and
52:13
Speaker 1: Parada and things like that, and so they were already gone,
52:17
Speaker 1: they had already been declared. And it takes ten you
52:19
Speaker 1: can't just immediately bring them back once you've put them
52:22
Speaker 1: on the ten dail or sent them down to the minors,
52:24
Speaker 1: or whatever the case might be. So it's the right decision.
52:28
Speaker 1: Just fundamentally, it's the right decision. You have options on Parada,
52:33
Speaker 1: you keep Garber because you don't have options on Garver,
52:36
Speaker 1: and Garver actually has the better long term relationship with
52:40
Speaker 1: the rest of the pitchers. So this is your only
52:42
Speaker 1: way to keep all three of them now in the organization. Now,
52:47
Speaker 1: the reason you can't keep all three of them on
52:48
Speaker 1: the roster is because you have positional needs and you
52:53
Speaker 1: certainly need flexibility. Parade and Garver can't play another position.
52:57
Speaker 1: Johnny Parada certainly can't play another position, and so you
53:01
Speaker 1: are not going to keep three catchers on a roster
53:04
Speaker 1: when you're not using one of them as the DH
53:07
Speaker 1: at that point, because you're going to need a rest nighter.
53:10
Speaker 1: Because he can actually play outfield. He can pinch hit,
53:12
Speaker 1: he can pinch run. There are things that he can
53:15
Speaker 1: do even though he hasn't hit the ball all that well.
53:18
Speaker 1: So it was the right decision to make by the organization.
53:21
Speaker 1: I know people are up in arms about Ryan Bliss
53:24
Speaker 1: because we watched him make two really big plays in
53:27
Speaker 1: the game before he was sent back down to the
53:30
Speaker 1: Miners to make room for Master Bony. Well, last night
53:32
Speaker 1: you got to see how valuable Master Bony can be.
53:35
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Ryan Bliss could pick up first base
53:39
Speaker 1: right before the game begins and lock down that position.
53:42
Speaker 1: Master Boney was able to do it last night. He
53:45
Speaker 1: also laid down one of the most beautiful bunts you've
53:47
Speaker 1: ever seen. I like Ryan Bliss. He is a wonderful person,
53:51
Speaker 1: and he obviously brings something to a baseball field because
53:53
Speaker 1: of how quick he is and how good he plays
53:55
Speaker 1: second base Defensively, that guy can't hit a fastball. You're
53:59
Speaker 1: not going to have a long career in Major League
54:02
Speaker 1: baseball until you can figure out how to hit a fastball.
54:04
Speaker 1: He had. He wasn't even hitting in Tacoma when he
54:07
Speaker 1: got called up to us, and he certainly didn't hit
54:10
Speaker 1: while he was in a Mariner uniform. But he does
54:12
Speaker 1: do a lot of little things that help you win games,
54:15
Speaker 1: and he proved that in his last game in a
54:17
Speaker 1: Mariner uniform. But Master Bonie brings more to the table
54:22
Speaker 1: than what Ryan Bliss does right now, and that's why
54:24
Speaker 1: they made the right decision in going with Master Bony
54:27
Speaker 1: over Bliss.
54:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that does make sense.
54:29
Speaker 2: But it was disheartening to see two great games from
54:33
Speaker 2: Bliss and then have him sent down right after.
54:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
54:35
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, I mean you feel bad for the guy, like, oh,
54:38
Speaker 3: what's the guy gotta do?
54:39
Speaker 1: Well, sure, but you've still got to make the best
54:41
Speaker 1: baseball decision. So that's their job, and Master Boney is
54:44
Speaker 1: the better baseball decision. So they're not going to make
54:46
Speaker 1: things out of emotion saying yeah, well kind of you were.
54:52
Speaker 3: No. Well, I'm just saying it like I felt bad.
54:55
Speaker 3: I wasn't saying they should have made it.
54:57
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's disheartening to watch a guy do that
54:59
Speaker 2: and and then get sent down, not that the Mariners
55:01
Speaker 2: should have made that move that way.
55:03
Speaker 1: Also criticism of the trainers and the medical staff. Mariners,
55:06
Speaker 1: trainers and medical staff are really well regarded and they
55:11
Speaker 1: do it actually a really tremendous job. I don't know
55:14
Speaker 1: what you can do when Josh Naylor fouls a ball
55:16
Speaker 1: off his shin, I don't know what a training staff
55:18
Speaker 1: can do with that. A Rosarina and Donovan hit a ball,
55:22
Speaker 1: hit the bag really hard. That's going to happen. I
55:26
Speaker 1: wish the bags were softer. I'd like to see the
55:28
Speaker 1: extension like they use in college, so that we don't
55:30
Speaker 1: see this happen as regularly as we do. But that's
55:35
Speaker 1: where we're at. I mean, Bucky hates the idea of
55:37
Speaker 1: extending that, but then again, Bucky hated all ideas for
55:40
Speaker 1: change in baseball. So maybe that would help if they
55:45
Speaker 1: softened the bags and made them bigger at first base,
55:47
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't have it. But I don't know what
55:49
Speaker 1: a training staff can do. When a guy who's had
55:52
Speaker 1: a core injury lands that awkwardly and that hard on
55:55
Speaker 1: first base and suffers an injury from it, it's going
55:59
Speaker 1: to take some time to recover. So let's not beat
56:01
Speaker 1: up on the training and the medical staff if you
56:03
Speaker 1: want an argument used the argument against the Mariners why
56:06
Speaker 1: they didn't have better intel on an off day about
56:09
Speaker 1: just how injured their guys were. And maybe they don't
56:13
Speaker 1: even receive blame for that. I don't know, because I
56:16
Speaker 1: don't know all the inner workings to that. And then
56:18
Speaker 1: the piggyback and people had a field day yesterday, destroying
56:22
Speaker 1: the return of the piggyback. I don't know what to
56:25
Speaker 1: tell you. The results were so much better than what
56:30
Speaker 1: I think. A lot of people just got in their
56:32
Speaker 1: heads that the piggyback stinks and it's dumb, and because
56:35
Speaker 1: it's different and everything else, and that because the first
56:38
Speaker 1: game Andres Munjos blew a lead in the ninth, Yeah,
56:42
Speaker 1: I guess that got in your head. But there were
56:46
Speaker 1: so many more positive things that came out of the
56:48
Speaker 1: Piggyback than negative things. And I don't trust Dan Wilson
56:53
Speaker 1: to manage a bullpen. He needs the fifth day to
57:00
Speaker 1: not have to make any decisions to help him on
57:03
Speaker 1: the other four days. What destroyed our bullpen was the
57:06
Speaker 1: six man rotation. By halfway through the first run of
57:10
Speaker 1: the six man rotation, we were out of relief pitchers.
57:14
Speaker 1: We had to go two days without relief pitchers and
57:18
Speaker 1: had close games that we didn't even try to come
57:21
Speaker 1: back in because we didn't have any bullpen. Because the
57:24
Speaker 1: six man rotation created that many problems for Dan Wilson
57:28
Speaker 1: and the bullpen. So we need to get back to
57:30
Speaker 1: a five man rotation. And the last time we did
57:34
Speaker 1: the pickyback, far more good came out of it than bad.
57:38
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's back and I'm looking forward to seeing
57:41
Speaker 1: its results going forward. All right, I'd like to spend
57:45
Speaker 1: more time on that. But coming up next, Brady Cannon
57:47
Speaker 1: will join his sports radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
57:50
Speaker 1: It is time to chat with a guy that wants
57:53
Speaker 1: to make you some money. He is the Las Vegas
57:55
Speaker 1: Golfer himself. He writes for Sports Grid, Sports Line, CBS Sports.
58:00
Speaker 1: Just read his column last night about the seven bets
58:02
Speaker 1: he's making for the US Open at golf dot com.
58:05
Speaker 1: You can follow him at Las Vegas Golfer on x
58:08
Speaker 1: and before every major we try to chat with my
58:11
Speaker 1: friend Brady Cannon. Good morning, sir.
58:14
Speaker 4: How are you, mister Chuck Powell?
58:15
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right? You being able to keep up
58:18
Speaker 1: with all this? How crazy is the World Cup in
58:21
Speaker 1: Vegas right now?
58:23
Speaker 4: You know? I mean you come off of the Stanley
58:26
Speaker 4: Cup final with the Knights, and you know, and now
58:30
Speaker 4: you've got the World Cup going on? How about New York?
58:32
Speaker 4: You know, the Knicks, the World Cup and now the
58:35
Speaker 4: US Open on Long Island. Yeah, I mean sports are
58:39
Speaker 4: at a fever pitch right now. It seems you know,
58:41
Speaker 4: this is supposed to be the downtime, right this is
58:44
Speaker 4: the dog days of summer? Not quite, but no, it's
58:47
Speaker 4: it's happening, man.
58:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, it used to be for years, and you used
58:50
Speaker 1: to be in this sports radio industry with me on
58:54
Speaker 1: the talk side. Now you're just now you're just some superstar.
58:58
Speaker 1: But we would go through the dog days of summer together.
59:03
Speaker 1: But there are no dog days of summer anymore. I mean,
59:06
Speaker 1: there's this twelve months of action packed and it's awesome.
59:09
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I'm not going to play the way.
59:11
Speaker 4: There's college baseball going on in Omaha as well, which
59:14
Speaker 4: I love and I'm sure you do.
59:16
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely well, Brady Cannon with us here this morning
59:20
Speaker 1: to talk some golf. So let's get into it in
59:23
Speaker 1: a tweet that's right there at the top of your timeline.
59:27
Speaker 1: My selections for who survives Shnnikock. Why are we using
59:32
Speaker 1: the descriptor of survives shnnacock? I mean, is this course
59:37
Speaker 1: just that brutal?
59:39
Speaker 4: Well, it's a US Open, right, and this will be
59:42
Speaker 4: the sixth time that Shinnecock has hosted a US Open,
59:46
Speaker 4: and the last two, especially the second to last one
59:50
Speaker 4: in two thousand and four, was pretty ugly. If you
59:53
Speaker 4: recall that's when you know, the USGA tries to bring
59:56
Speaker 4: the course to the extremes to make it as difficult
1:00:00
Speaker 4: as possible, but mother nature stepped in and you know,
1:00:04
Speaker 4: they lost a couple of holes where they were just
1:00:07
Speaker 4: so baked out the balls couldn't even stay on the green.
1:00:10
Speaker 4: And you know it pressed that precipice in twenty eighteen
1:00:16
Speaker 4: when Kepka won here as well, and you know, they're
1:00:19
Speaker 4: getting into a situation where they've got to water the
1:00:21
Speaker 4: greens in between groups and you know, just an ugly
1:00:25
Speaker 4: mess of a golf tournament. And that's what's so difficult.
1:00:29
Speaker 4: You've got a tremendously demanding golf course. It's very much
1:00:33
Speaker 4: like a like an Open Championship, like a British Open.
1:00:36
Speaker 4: There's wind off of the Bay, wind off of the
1:00:38
Speaker 4: Atlantic Ocean. You know, it's a sandy coastal location. You've
1:00:44
Speaker 4: got the heather and the wispy stuff and the thick rough.
1:00:47
Speaker 4: It looks very much like a Lynx golf course. You
1:00:51
Speaker 4: know that we would see next month for the British Open.
1:00:54
Speaker 4: But then you throw in the wind and off of
1:00:57
Speaker 4: the Atlantic Ocean and it's so exposed and that's where
1:01:01
Speaker 4: there's a real balance in trying to cooperate with mother
1:01:05
Speaker 4: nature but yet make the golf course as difficult as
1:01:08
Speaker 4: possible at the same time. And the last couple of
1:01:11
Speaker 4: times here the USGA, certainly in two thousand and four,
1:01:14
Speaker 4: I think they failed. They nearly did in twenty eighteen,
1:01:18
Speaker 4: and I really hope they get it right this time, Chuck,
1:01:21
Speaker 4: because that's what we want to see. We want to
1:01:23
Speaker 4: see a great championship. We don't want to see it compromised.
1:01:27
Speaker 4: And I think the USJ will be a bit more
1:01:29
Speaker 4: conservative this time, just to play it safe. But then
1:01:33
Speaker 4: you turn to Thursday and we're expecting wins, possibly gusting
1:01:36
Speaker 4: to fifty miles an hour, and you know, I think
1:01:40
Speaker 4: it's possible that they might have to stop play because
1:01:44
Speaker 4: balls are, you know, oscillating on the greens and what
1:01:47
Speaker 4: have you. So yeah, I mean it's it's going to
1:01:49
Speaker 4: be pretty crazy, and let's see who.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: Survives well, who does tend to survive? Is it the
1:01:55
Speaker 1: mastered Scottie Scheffler, Rory McElroy type that under conditions like that,
1:02:01
Speaker 1: their skills are just going to be better than the
1:02:04
Speaker 1: next guy having to navigate the same environment, or does
1:02:08
Speaker 1: it set up for some crazy results some upstart some
1:02:12
Speaker 1: underdog to come out of nowhere because the conditions of
1:02:15
Speaker 1: even the playing field.
1:02:17
Speaker 4: It's a great question, and I'd say the answer is
1:02:19
Speaker 4: probably both. You know, typically the best players Tiger Woods,
1:02:23
Speaker 4: Scotty Scheffler, whatever, they wanted the conditions to be as
1:02:26
Speaker 4: hard as possible because they knew they were better than
1:02:29
Speaker 4: everybody else. And you know, if it's so difficult that
1:02:33
Speaker 4: other guys can't handle it, maybe they would rise to
1:02:35
Speaker 4: the top. The other thing is you bring randomness into play,
1:02:39
Speaker 4: because you start missing fairways around here, chuck, and you're dead.
1:02:45
Speaker 4: Rory McElroy and Scotty Scheffler went out there a couple
1:02:47
Speaker 4: weeks ago for a practice round and the fairways are
1:02:51
Speaker 4: very wide. I mentioned that the USG I think they're
1:02:54
Speaker 4: going to ease up a little bit. It's not going
1:02:58
Speaker 4: to be necessarily difficult to find fairways. But then you
1:03:01
Speaker 4: throw the wind in there, and you allow the USGA
1:03:04
Speaker 4: to make the golf course firm and fast, and if
1:03:06
Speaker 4: you do start to miss fairways, you're literally into five
1:03:09
Speaker 4: inch rough and then half of the rough you're you're
1:03:12
Speaker 4: into the heather and the wispy stuff that's knee high,
1:03:15
Speaker 4: and you don't have a chance. So you know, a
1:03:20
Speaker 4: lot of things can happen. If Scotti Scheffler starts missing fairways,
1:03:23
Speaker 4: if Rory mac you know that that's going to be
1:03:25
Speaker 4: the first step. Negotiating the wind I think will be
1:03:28
Speaker 4: the next step. With Thursdays supposed to be the worst
1:03:31
Speaker 4: of it, Friday no picnic, and then over the weekend,
1:03:34
Speaker 4: I think it's supposed to be kind of a more
1:03:36
Speaker 4: normal fifteen to twenty mile an hour coastal breeze. But
1:03:41
Speaker 4: you know, I'm basically on let's see, I played seven
1:03:45
Speaker 4: guys and I would say five of them are you know,
1:03:50
Speaker 4: relatively conservative, you know, more towards the favorite top of
1:03:54
Speaker 4: the board, and then a couple of long shots, you know,
1:03:57
Speaker 4: to your point because a JJ Spahn last year, right,
1:04:00
Speaker 4: I mean that that was a bit under the radar
1:04:02
Speaker 4: and out of nowhere, and you had guys like Adam
1:04:06
Speaker 4: Scott and Sam Burns and Russell Henley contending and next thing,
1:04:09
Speaker 4: you know, JJ Spond's your champion, and just last month
1:04:12
Speaker 4: at the at the PGA Aaron Rye. So you know,
1:04:17
Speaker 4: you do get that dark horse that comes out of
1:04:19
Speaker 4: nowhere sometimes on these things.
1:04:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know I'll say, I don't know
1:04:24
Speaker 1: what all of Vegas is doing in terms of odds.
1:04:26
Speaker 1: But as I started my research for this conversation last night,
1:04:31
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe whatever grid that I pulled up, Scotty
1:04:35
Speaker 1: Scheffler was like a runaway favorite in this thing. And
1:04:39
Speaker 1: yet as I read through all the different experts pick
1:04:42
Speaker 1: I wasn't seeing his name chosen as somebody that people
1:04:46
Speaker 1: thought was going to win. So how do we how
1:04:50
Speaker 1: do we make sense of that?
1:04:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting because I pull up, you know, a
1:04:56
Speaker 4: memo I get from my friends at bet MGM and
1:04:59
Speaker 4: Scott Scheffler. Of course, that's a national sportsbook all over
1:05:03
Speaker 4: the country. Scotty Scheffler is number one in ticket count,
1:05:07
Speaker 4: number one in handle, and he is their biggest liability.
1:05:10
Speaker 4: But you're right, I think, you know, you look in
1:05:12
Speaker 4: the golf handicap or space and nobody's really landing on Scotty,
1:05:16
Speaker 4: which can be scary that that means maybe he's going
1:05:18
Speaker 4: to win the whole darn thing and be Scottie again.
1:05:21
Speaker 4: But that's kind of I think where we're at. Was
1:05:24
Speaker 4: Scotty this year? He won back in January at the
1:05:27
Speaker 4: American Express. It's a pretty easy tournament. Not you know,
1:05:31
Speaker 4: that's not necessarily an indicator of great things to come.
1:05:35
Speaker 4: And we're so used to the bar that Scotty set
1:05:38
Speaker 4: the past couple of seasons, you know, just absolutely remarkable
1:05:41
Speaker 4: by any normal human being standard. Scotty Scheffler is killing
1:05:44
Speaker 4: it this year, but not by Scotty's standards. And so
1:05:48
Speaker 4: to see him price there in the neighborhood of five
1:05:51
Speaker 4: or six to one, which is, let's be honest, about
1:05:54
Speaker 4: twice of his price what he's normally at, you know,
1:05:56
Speaker 4: three to one or something, I still think the price
1:06:00
Speaker 4: is just too low for the way he's been going
1:06:02
Speaker 4: this year. I was on a show on CBS Sports
1:06:05
Speaker 4: Line yesterday and we all kind of felt that if
1:06:08
Speaker 4: he was eight or nine to one, that might be
1:06:11
Speaker 4: worth the shot. But he just hasn't shown us the
1:06:15
Speaker 4: typical Scottie Scheffler stuff to justify five to one to
1:06:19
Speaker 4: win this championship.
1:06:20
Speaker 1: Brady Cannon is with US Golf Expert Handicap Expert. You
1:06:24
Speaker 1: combine the two, you get yourself a great radio segment.
1:06:28
Speaker 1: We have him on before every major. You can follow
1:06:30
Speaker 1: him that Las Vegas Golfer for all of his tips
1:06:32
Speaker 1: and information. He does like thirty eight different shows and
1:06:35
Speaker 1: writes thirty eight different blogs. He's a very busy man
1:06:38
Speaker 1: and very good at what he does. All right, so
1:06:40
Speaker 1: let's talk about the guys that you do. Like I saw,
1:06:43
Speaker 1: Russell Henley is big on your board, So talk about why.
1:06:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I pretty much went to the standard
1:06:53
Speaker 4: USA or excuse me, US Open DNA and hit fairways,
1:06:57
Speaker 4: hit greens and make some putts and you know, try
1:07:00
Speaker 4: and keep it simple. It's different from the Masters, where
1:07:03
Speaker 4: so much creativity is involved. It's different. You know. I
1:07:07
Speaker 4: talked about the relationship to the British Open, but typically
1:07:11
Speaker 4: the US Open is much more straightforward. Now this one
1:07:15
Speaker 4: I think is going to be sideways in a sense
1:07:17
Speaker 4: with weather. But Russell Henley is number one on tour
1:07:22
Speaker 4: and driving accuracy and you know, again I mentioned that
1:07:25
Speaker 4: these fairways are wide, but I do believe accuracy is
1:07:29
Speaker 4: going to play a part. I mentioned earlier. You can't
1:07:32
Speaker 4: be too wild off the tee or you're old. You know,
1:07:36
Speaker 4: the last two US Opens he's been top ten, the
1:07:39
Speaker 4: last two British Opens he's been top ten. He's been
1:07:42
Speaker 4: he was third at the Masters earlier this year. So
1:07:45
Speaker 4: all of a sudden. This guy is absolutely I think
1:07:48
Speaker 4: the next step for him is a major championship, Chuck,
1:07:51
Speaker 4: and maybe it'll happen this week.
1:07:53
Speaker 1: Who else do you like? And in the tournament, well.
1:07:56
Speaker 4: Henley is in the neighborhood of forty to one. The
1:08:00
Speaker 4: ordest shot I took was Xander Schaffle at twenty to one.
1:08:04
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize this until I started doing my research.
1:08:07
Speaker 4: He's never missed a cut in nine tries at the
1:08:09
Speaker 4: US Open. His worst finish is fourteenth, and he's finished
1:08:13
Speaker 4: top ten seven times. He's a US Open machine. He's
1:08:18
Speaker 4: probably has to be on your card. Matt Fitzpatrick at
1:08:22
Speaker 4: twenty five to one and Tommy Fleetwood at twenty five
1:08:24
Speaker 4: to one, maybe the best players in the world right
1:08:28
Speaker 4: now as far as their current form, and they you know,
1:08:31
Speaker 4: fleetwould finish second here to Keopka in twenty eighteen. Fitzpatrick
1:08:37
Speaker 4: finished twelfth. So these guys have proven they can do
1:08:40
Speaker 4: it on this course before. Patrick Reid, you know, kind
1:08:45
Speaker 4: of playing part time golf these days as he transitions
1:08:48
Speaker 4: back to the PGA Tour from the Libs circuit, but
1:08:51
Speaker 4: it hasn't seemed to bother him me. He finished tenth
1:08:54
Speaker 4: at the PGA and twelfth at the Masters, and you know,
1:08:57
Speaker 4: that's the type of guy that is a little bit
1:09:01
Speaker 4: sprays the ball a little bit off to tee. So
1:09:03
Speaker 4: the wide fairways will help him. But he's a short
1:09:06
Speaker 4: game wizard, one of the best in the world. So
1:09:09
Speaker 4: you know, if these greens get crazy, which we expect
1:09:13
Speaker 4: him to do, Reid might be the type of guy
1:09:15
Speaker 4: that can negotiate that type of challenge. So Reid Chafle, Fitzpatrick,
1:09:22
Speaker 4: Fleetwood and Henley and then a couple of long bombs
1:09:27
Speaker 4: Chuck Kurt Kittiyama. You know, I don't know if we
1:09:31
Speaker 4: believe in this type of stuff, but I ran into
1:09:33
Speaker 4: him into in a store in Las Vegas the other day,
1:09:36
Speaker 4: and you know, we're trying to search for the winner,
1:09:38
Speaker 4: and maybe I was being you know, sent a message
1:09:40
Speaker 4: right there down my throat in front of my face.
1:09:43
Speaker 4: I don't know, but this guy, his weakness is on
1:09:48
Speaker 4: the greens and around the greens. But boy, is he
1:09:51
Speaker 4: a ball striker extraordinaire. I mean, he is one of
1:09:54
Speaker 4: the very best on tour as far as finding fairways,
1:09:57
Speaker 4: hitting the ball long and finding greens and regulation. And
1:10:01
Speaker 4: as I mentioned, that is certainly a tried and true
1:10:04
Speaker 4: US Open formula got him at ninety to one and
1:10:08
Speaker 4: then a big long bomb on Daniel Berger at one
1:10:10
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty to one. He finished sixth tier in
1:10:14
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, and he is also kind of that consummate
1:10:18
Speaker 4: US Open fairways and greens ball striker type players. So
1:10:23
Speaker 4: that's the seven pack. We'll see if we can get
1:10:25
Speaker 4: one of them home.
1:10:26
Speaker 1: All right, So, considering the stage, considering the history of
1:10:31
Speaker 1: how difficult the tournament can be, and then considering the
1:10:36
Speaker 1: weather conditions which might be monstrous, who's somebody to stay
1:10:41
Speaker 1: away from? I mean, who's just going to be a
1:10:43
Speaker 1: hot mess this weekend because they're not going to be
1:10:45
Speaker 1: a handle, be able to handle any of those three things,
1:10:48
Speaker 1: much less all three of those things.
1:10:51
Speaker 4: You know, it's very interesting. A couple of popular guys
1:10:55
Speaker 4: this week are Chris gotter Up, the young kid from
1:10:58
Speaker 4: the New Jersey area, who's just a world of talent,
1:11:01
Speaker 4: and the same can be said about Cameron Young. Cam Young,
1:11:04
Speaker 4: who won the Players Championship this year, was in the
1:11:07
Speaker 4: final pairing with Rory at the Masters. Both of these
1:11:11
Speaker 4: guys are immense talents that have been having exceptional seasons,
1:11:15
Speaker 4: but I wonder if it's going to be a home
1:11:18
Speaker 4: game in the sense for both of them in the
1:11:21
Speaker 4: New York, New Jersey area. Cam Young has kind of
1:11:24
Speaker 4: fallen off the boil a little bit, and I wonder
1:11:27
Speaker 4: if we're asking too much of him at this point
1:11:30
Speaker 4: and if his odds have become a little too short
1:11:33
Speaker 4: and got Her Up. You know, he hits the ball
1:11:35
Speaker 4: a ton and does everything very well, but he also
1:11:38
Speaker 4: lacks a lot of accuracy. And I mentioned if you
1:11:41
Speaker 4: start missing fairways too often, you're done. And so I
1:11:45
Speaker 4: think possibly both of those guys could disappoint. And I
1:11:48
Speaker 4: bet him both to miss the cut. It's almost three
1:11:52
Speaker 4: to one on Cam Young to miss the cut. About
1:11:56
Speaker 4: plus one eighty was what I got on got her Up.
1:11:58
Speaker 4: But you never know, oh Chuck. I mean last year
1:12:02
Speaker 4: we were at Oakmont and Bryson de Shamba missed the
1:12:05
Speaker 4: cut and Justin Thomas missed the cut. I mean, it
1:12:08
Speaker 4: happens to the best of them, and you know, you
1:12:11
Speaker 4: try and do your best to prognosticate. I think maybe
1:12:14
Speaker 4: it in got her Up and Young. If one of
1:12:16
Speaker 4: them misses the cut, I make a profit. And if
1:12:19
Speaker 4: both of them do, then then you know, we really
1:12:21
Speaker 4: nailed it. But I think there's a chance that you're
1:12:24
Speaker 4: absolutely going to see some big names not be around
1:12:27
Speaker 4: for the weekend.
1:12:27
Speaker 1: Well, if there are some things I remember about Brady
1:12:29
Speaker 1: Cannon at the old MGM Grand sitting there in that
1:12:33
Speaker 1: climate controlled the cold temperatures, the stage Deli wafting its
1:12:38
Speaker 1: aromas tortoise, Dave Cochin sitting there serenading us with his
1:12:43
Speaker 1: you know, dulcet pipes. I remember how much you loved
1:12:47
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl, and it seems to me how much
1:12:49
Speaker 1: you loved Shinnecock. So I know you're excited about this.
1:12:55
Speaker 4: Shannacock and Dave Cokin seemed to be related, but that's
1:12:59
Speaker 4: another coin.
1:13:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. All right, man, you're the best. Thank you, Sarah.
1:13:05
Speaker 1: We appreciate it, enjoy it all all right.
1:13:08
Speaker 4: I always enjoy coming on with you, and we'll talk
1:13:10
Speaker 4: to you next month when we hit Royal Birkdale.
1:13:12
Speaker 1: Let's do it, all right, Brady Canon joining us all
1:13:15
Speaker 1: right here? You can follow Matt las Vegas golfer. We
1:13:17
Speaker 1: do recommend that, and he's got a lot more information
1:13:21
Speaker 1: that he can impart. I mean, I know how big
1:13:24
Speaker 1: the gambling world has become. With golf here in the
1:13:29
Speaker 1: last few years, and this guy's your guide to all
1:13:33
Speaker 1: of that, and we appreciate him coming on with us

Speaker 1: Well, either that or he's afraid you're gonna steal them
1:14:11

Speaker 1: It is time for our US Open preview here on
1:15:43
Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the mornings, and there's only one
1:15:45
Speaker 1: way we do it, by drafting the American way. Oh boy,
1:15:49
Speaker 1: do I love a draft. It's probably my favorite thing
1:15:51
Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, wait a minute, your MIC's not
1:15:55
Speaker 1: on for some reason. Different one. Oh there we go.
1:15:58
Speaker 8: Aren't you at the age where you can even get drafted,
1:16:00
Speaker 8: Chuck even if we needed you?
1:16:02
Speaker 1: Hey?
1:16:03
Speaker 8: Thanks? Meanwhile, hey, kid, you know you do not have
1:16:07
Speaker 8: that threshold get you? Yeah, one more year, but why
1:16:09
Speaker 8: don't you come and join us?
1:16:11
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is before you turn the MIC's on, Ashley,
1:16:13
Speaker 1: I was just telling kid about the time that I
1:16:15
Speaker 1: kicked a naked woman out of my house.
1:16:17
Speaker 3: Did you give her clothes when he kicked her out?
1:16:19
Speaker 1: Uh? I wasn't trying to keep her clothes from her.
1:16:22
Speaker 1: I just said, put your clothes on and get out
1:16:24
Speaker 1: of my house. And now, all of a sudden, based
1:16:27
Speaker 1: on this last, kid now thinks I like drafting more
1:16:31
Speaker 1: than naked women.
1:16:33
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I'm picking up.
1:16:36
Speaker 5: And I.
1:16:39
Speaker 1: Just might what a vice? Yes, all right, it's time
1:16:43
Speaker 1: for our US Open preview. We're ready to draft, but
1:16:46
Speaker 1: we have a celebrity guest picker. We've had one since
1:16:49
Speaker 1: Bucky's been on medical leave, and so today why not
1:16:53
Speaker 1: use an expert golfer who loves himself some golf and
1:16:57
Speaker 1: is one of our title sponsors to our major golf challenge,
1:17:01
Speaker 1: the P ANDW Golf Academy, And joining us now from
1:17:03
Speaker 1: the p ANDW Golf Academy is Alex Dunlow. Hi, Alex,
1:17:09
Speaker 1: how are you doing?
1:17:09
Speaker 9: Guys?
1:17:10
Speaker 1: Do you realize what you've gotten yourself into?
1:17:14
Speaker 9: I am just starting to figure that out.
1:17:15
Speaker 1: Yes, I promise no more nudity talk. I promise you
1:17:21
Speaker 1: will make promises. You can't keep chucking nudy in the morning.
1:17:27
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was like, I'm not I'm not dude,
1:17:29
Speaker 1: but I'm not Bucky.
1:17:30
Speaker 4: Uh.
1:17:31
Speaker 1: Well, it's great to have you on with us, and
1:17:35
Speaker 1: it's been great to have an association with the PNW
1:17:37
Speaker 1: Golf Academy. So tell us how good a golfer are you?
1:17:41
Speaker 1: Not that it will help you today?
1:17:44
Speaker 9: You know, I was once a good golfer, but now
1:17:48
Speaker 9: that I'm focusing more of my attention on, you know,
1:17:51
Speaker 9: the Academy and teaching others, I would say, and having
1:17:55
Speaker 9: six year old twins, my golf game has definitely gone
1:17:57
Speaker 9: south a little bit, so uh, we could still get
1:18:00
Speaker 9: it around pretty good. But just like anybody else, I
1:18:03
Speaker 9: have my my swing battles and demons as well.
1:18:08
Speaker 1: How good are you at assessing golf talent? What I mean,
1:18:11
Speaker 1: what kind of ringer are we going up against here today?
1:18:14
Speaker 9: I would like to think I'm really good at assessing,
1:18:17
Speaker 9: So we do. That's kind of what we do here
1:18:19
Speaker 9: at the Academy, and our team of instructors are all
1:18:22
Speaker 9: incredible golfers. So yeah, yes, I think I like to
1:18:27
Speaker 9: think I know a good golfer when I see one.
1:18:28
Speaker 1: All right, Well, before we start doing some picks, let's
1:18:30
Speaker 1: do a little more promotion. I mean, somebody comes to
1:18:33
Speaker 1: PNW Golf Academy to improve their game, they're thinking about it.
1:18:38
Speaker 1: What's your best pitch on why it's a necessity for
1:18:42
Speaker 1: them to come to the p ANDW Golf Academy.
1:18:46
Speaker 9: Well, we really don't try and you know, build a
1:18:49
Speaker 9: golfing for everybody. We try and customize it to the golfer.
1:18:52
Speaker 9: I mean, every golfer has their own strengths and weaknesses,
1:18:56
Speaker 9: their you know, their mobility, limitations and stuff of that nature.
1:19:00
Speaker 9: So we really try and build a swing that fits
1:19:04
Speaker 9: the golfer that suits them the best. And we do
1:19:07
Speaker 9: that through video analysis, data analytics and pretty much run
1:19:12
Speaker 9: you through almost an MRI of your golf swing so
1:19:15
Speaker 9: that we can really highlight the strength but also the
1:19:18
Speaker 9: weaknesses and really target the areas that need the most help.
1:19:22
Speaker 1: Who, in your opinion has the best swing in the
1:19:25
Speaker 1: golf swing in the world right now on the PGA Tour.
1:19:30
Speaker 9: I mean the ev answer is Adam Scott probably.
1:19:33
Speaker 1: But that's an easy answer, huh huh.
1:19:36
Speaker 9: I would I would say that, I would say, you
1:19:38
Speaker 9: know more, younger type of golfer, lud big Aberg overt
1:19:42
Speaker 9: excuse me, has an incredible move as well, but as
1:19:46
Speaker 9: you watch, I mean, they all have different swings and
1:19:48
Speaker 9: they all get it done. So there's a million ways
1:19:50
Speaker 9: to do it.
1:19:51
Speaker 1: And I don't mean to correct our golf expert for
1:19:53
Speaker 1: that is pronounceding now no idea, No, I don't think now,
1:20:01
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not. All right, Well, it's an
1:20:03
Speaker 1: inside joke and I just let you on the inside there,
1:20:06
Speaker 1: all right, Alex, Well, let's go ahead and get it
1:20:09
Speaker 1: started then if you're if you're ready, all we need now, Ashley,
1:20:12
Speaker 1: is a draft order. How we're going we're gonna mistreat
1:20:15
Speaker 1: Alex with the lottery.
1:20:16
Speaker 2: We're not going to mistreat him too much. A kid
1:20:19
Speaker 2: doesn't have the number Kid has the number one pick.
1:20:21
Speaker 2: Oh boy, kid, Alex has the number two pick.
1:20:24
Speaker 1: Oh jeez.
1:20:24
Speaker 3: I have the number three pick, which is the one
1:20:26
Speaker 3: I did not want. Okay, and you have the number
1:20:28
Speaker 3: four pick.
1:20:29
Speaker 1: Well, I don't really want the number four. I'm not done.
1:20:31
Speaker 3: I'd rather have the number four than the number three.
1:20:33
Speaker 1: I'm not doing any backflips over having number four, I'll
1:20:36
Speaker 1: tell you that much. All Right, Well, this is good.
1:20:39
Speaker 1: This is a good order though, because kid can show
1:20:41
Speaker 1: Alex how it's done. And we also don't give the
1:20:44
Speaker 1: ringer the number one overall pick in the draft. So
1:20:47
Speaker 1: here's the group that we're choosing from, and Alex, hopefully
1:20:50
Speaker 1: Ashley explained a little bit of this to you, but
1:20:53
Speaker 1: in round one you will be picking your golfer from
1:20:56
Speaker 1: this group. It is Scottie Scheffler, Rory McKell, Cameron Young,
1:21:02
Speaker 1: Matt Fitzpatrick, Russell Henley, and Justin Rose. So, kid, you've
1:21:07
Speaker 1: got the first overall selection. Who are we taking from
1:21:10
Speaker 1: group number one? I will take Scotty Scotty Scheffler Oh yeah,
1:21:16
Speaker 1: take the runaway favorite.
1:21:19
Speaker 8: I was gonna take Cameron Young, but I said, why
1:21:21
Speaker 8: don't do that to myself? Just take the best guy available,
1:21:23
Speaker 8: and it's Scotti scheff.
1:21:24
Speaker 1: Why is Alex? Why is Scotty Scheffler not your answer
1:21:28
Speaker 1: to the best golf swing on the PGA Tour.
1:21:32
Speaker 9: Because it's uniquely his own? Oh, I think if you
1:21:35
Speaker 9: taught I think if you taught that golf wing to
1:21:38
Speaker 9: the average golfer, they would be in a lot of trouble.
1:21:42
Speaker 1: He's pretty damn good though, I'll tell you that much.
1:21:44
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, he's the best in Cigner. So there's
1:21:48
Speaker 9: I mean, what are you doing? Is right for him?
1:21:50
Speaker 6: No doubt?
1:21:50
Speaker 1: All right, Alex? All right, So that's how it's done.
1:21:53
Speaker 1: Now you got to pick your golfer from the rest
1:21:56
Speaker 1: of the group. Who do you want from this group
1:21:59
Speaker 1: to reppers sent you in our green Jacket competition?
1:22:04
Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Rory McElroy. I think
1:22:07
Speaker 9: he's gonna do very well here. He's used to playing
1:22:10
Speaker 9: and win, and I feel like a lot of weight
1:22:14
Speaker 9: is lifted off his shoulders, so he's playing pretty.
1:22:16
Speaker 1: Free, all right. Rory McElroy is the selection kind of
1:22:20
Speaker 1: feels like the two big guns are off the board,
1:22:23
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling Ashley is just fine with
1:22:26
Speaker 1: where she's at right now.
1:22:27
Speaker 3: I am.
1:22:28
Speaker 2: Actually I did have Rory as my second choice. I'm
1:22:32
Speaker 2: gonna go with Matt Fitzpatrick.
1:22:34
Speaker 1: Stop looking at my head gear. Yeah, I do that
1:22:38
Speaker 1: joke every time, Alex. He hasn't had Yeah, I know,
1:22:42
Speaker 1: but warm Brace is a long time into his adulthood.
1:22:45
Speaker 1: All right, Matt Fitzpatrick. That's uh. I mean I end
1:22:49
Speaker 1: up with my fourth pick here, so yeah, I'm not
1:22:51
Speaker 1: going to complain. The first group's usually pretty loaded, so
1:22:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and follow my guy, Brady Cannon's advice,
1:22:58
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say Russell is going to be my
1:23:01
Speaker 1: selection here in round number one. So, Alex, who made
1:23:05
Speaker 1: a dumb pick in round one in your estimation?
1:23:09
Speaker 9: You know, I think they're all pretty solid on a
1:23:11
Speaker 9: little You know, you had Cameron Young out there, Jack,
1:23:14
Speaker 9: so I was thinking you might go that route. But
1:23:16
Speaker 9: Russell Henrially is.
1:23:17
Speaker 1: A step I've had Young in both the majors and
1:23:21
Speaker 1: he's been fine. But to me, he's not a Sunday player.
1:23:25
Speaker 1: I can see it in his eyes like, he's not
1:23:28
Speaker 1: gonna finish. I don't know if he's ever going to finish.
1:23:30
Speaker 1: So I've already assessed him in for good or bad.
1:23:33
Speaker 3: You're already done, yep.
1:23:35
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, and he's like, what one hundred, so
1:23:37
Speaker 1: he's just about done.
1:23:40
Speaker 3: Definitely not young.
1:23:41
Speaker 1: All right, Round number two, Alex, you get the first
1:23:44
Speaker 1: pick in round number two from this group Tommy Fleetwood,
1:23:47
Speaker 1: John Rahm, jj Spawn, Colin Morikawa, Chris got her up,
1:23:53
Speaker 1: and Xander Soufle. So Alex, you get the number one selection.
1:23:58
Speaker 1: Which golfer do you want from this grouping?
1:24:01
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with Xander here. Yeah. He has the
1:24:06
Speaker 9: most incredible US Open record. If you look back at
1:24:09
Speaker 9: all of his appearances. I think the worst he's ever
1:24:11
Speaker 9: finished is like tenth or twelfth or something. So I
1:24:14
Speaker 9: know he will be there someday.
1:24:16
Speaker 1: That's a great pick.
1:24:17
Speaker 3: That is a great pick.
1:24:18
Speaker 2: That's what I was especially because when we play or
1:24:20
Speaker 2: the last Major was that. Yeah, the last Major, we
1:24:24
Speaker 2: had so many people missed the cut, and so I
1:24:26
Speaker 2: was like, I just need somebody that makes it cut.
1:24:28
Speaker 1: The key really is the key, and he's made nine
1:24:31
Speaker 1: in a row. I heard from Brady at the US Open.
1:24:34
Speaker 1: So I think that's the best pick in the entire draft.
1:24:37
Speaker 1: That's the guy I wanted more than anybody else. All right, Ashley,
1:24:41
Speaker 1: you've got the second overall pick from this group. Where
1:24:43
Speaker 1: are you going?
1:24:44
Speaker 3: Let's do it? Got her Up?
1:24:45
Speaker 1: You're going with got her Up? Even though Brady gave
1:24:48
Speaker 1: a warning against him.
1:24:50
Speaker 6: Yep.
1:24:50
Speaker 1: Why do you like got her Up? Well?
1:24:53
Speaker 3: Mostly? What's his name?
1:24:54
Speaker 1: Oh? Mostly? She likes his name. That great analysis for you, Alex.
1:25:01
Speaker 3: I think he's done pretty well.
1:25:02
Speaker 1: Like it. He's a stunt, is he? Okay? What do
1:25:07
Speaker 1: you mean by that? I mean he's an up and
1:25:10
Speaker 1: coming talent, right.
1:25:12
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think he's a gamer. He's from
1:25:14
Speaker 9: that part of the country. You know, I wouldn't be
1:25:16
Speaker 9: shocked if he does really, really well.
1:25:18
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, he likes your pick, Ashley.
1:25:20
Speaker 3: He can handle the windy conditions.
1:25:23
Speaker 1: Oh really, sturdy?
1:25:24
Speaker 9: He can keep it well, no doubt.
1:25:26
Speaker 3: Yep.
1:25:26
Speaker 1: All right, Well, speaking of sturdy guys, I'm gonna go
1:25:30
Speaker 1: with John Rahm here. Something tells me he's due for
1:25:35
Speaker 1: a really great beginning to end performance. So I'm seeing
1:25:39
Speaker 1: a lot of people that like John Rahm to win
1:25:42
Speaker 1: this tournament. Do you think that's a good pick, Alex,
1:25:46
Speaker 1: do you think that's stupid?
1:25:49
Speaker 9: I think it's a pretty good pick. I mean, he
1:25:51
Speaker 9: is a lot writing on these events. You know, let's
1:25:53
Speaker 9: make sure he has a job next.
1:25:54
Speaker 1: Shit. Oh, I see, I see what you did there?
1:25:57
Speaker 1: A little live shot right to the kidney. Yep, Jon Rum,
1:26:02
Speaker 1: I'll enjoy any live shot. All right, kid, you got
1:26:06
Speaker 1: the last pick in the group. You got Fleetwood, Spawn
1:26:10
Speaker 1: or Morikawa. I will go with Colin Morikawa. Go on
1:26:13
Speaker 1: with Morikawa. No one took JJ spawn. Didn he win
1:26:16
Speaker 1: last year? Yes? Is that why no one took JJ spawn?
1:26:20
Speaker 1: Or you just don't believe in his story?
1:26:23
Speaker 3: I just didn't.
1:26:24
Speaker 2: I mean I had him as fourth on my list.
1:26:26
Speaker 2: If I was picking fourth, that's who I would have.
1:26:27
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? All right, well I was never
1:26:29
Speaker 1: taking Spawn. Get off my lawn. I just figured when
1:26:33
Speaker 1: you have like a special guest picker, then I now
1:26:37
Speaker 1: realize how many inside jokes that we tell about.
1:26:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, every golfer has a special new name.
1:26:44
Speaker 1: Right exactly. And I guess when I say we, I
1:26:46
Speaker 1: say me, So I apologize.
1:26:48
Speaker 3: To get off the lawn.
1:26:49
Speaker 1: JJ spawn. All right, let's go to like that.
1:26:53
Speaker 9: I like that one.
1:26:54
Speaker 1: Let's go to round number three with our special guest
1:26:58
Speaker 1: picker from the PNW golf a cat me. Alex Dunlop
1:27:01
Speaker 1: is with us, and he already has Rory McElroy and
1:27:03
Speaker 1: Xander Shoufle. I have a team Envy already and we're
1:27:08
Speaker 1: only two picks into this. All right, Ashley will have
1:27:10
Speaker 1: the first pick of group three. Alex, you'll have the
1:27:13
Speaker 1: last pick of this group. Ashley did not want this
1:27:16
Speaker 1: group's first pick, so make the best of it.
1:27:19
Speaker 2: Uh. Well, he does have, according to Alex, a beautiful swing.
1:27:24
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take.
1:27:25
Speaker 1: Big, all right. So the story is, Alex that every
1:27:30
Speaker 1: time when I first got exposed to Ludwig Oberg, every
1:27:35
Speaker 1: time I heard his name pronounced, they would get pronounced differently,
1:27:38
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about by the experts, And the more
1:27:42
Speaker 1: popular he got, the more you know, sophisticated they tried
1:27:47
Speaker 1: to sound in pronouncing his name. So I just kept
1:27:52
Speaker 1: going with it and it ended up at lebl ebl.
1:27:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:27:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's how that happened. All right? You like it? Okay? Good?
1:28:00
Speaker 1: Well you can you can pass that along to all
1:28:02
Speaker 1: of your friends at p.
1:28:03
Speaker 3: NW Dolph Academy if you want to have a swing.
1:28:05
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I want to hear that instruction. All right,
1:28:13
Speaker 1: I've got the next selection here. Huh. You know what
1:28:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. And I've never had this guy before,
1:28:19
Speaker 1: but he kind of popped for me in the last tournament.
1:28:22
Speaker 1: I'm like, that guy can play. Why have I not
1:28:26
Speaker 1: been more familiar with Sea Wu kim oh in the past.
1:28:30
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take see Wu kim here. He's uh,
1:28:35
Speaker 1: he's he's got a good game, does he not? Alex
1:28:39
Speaker 1: or am I just up the river on this?
1:28:41
Speaker 9: No great game? We saw a first sound our own
1:28:45
Speaker 9: coach Derek Bird was paired with him at the PGA
1:28:48
Speaker 9: Championship at Aronam Inc. And he is an all time
1:28:52
Speaker 9: dude and he's got a serious game. So that's a
1:28:54
Speaker 9: great pic.
1:28:55
Speaker 1: How is Derek doing, by the way, is he all
1:28:57
Speaker 1: right after his major experience? Is he like cocky now?
1:29:01
Speaker 1: Is he over the top? What's happened to Derek Berg
1:29:03
Speaker 1: the person since he became a big major golf player.
1:29:08
Speaker 9: You know, he's you know, he's the same old Derek,
1:29:11
Speaker 9: to be honest with you. But he had a great experience.
1:29:15
Speaker 9: He's still grinding hard on his game. Probably learned a lot.
1:29:19
Speaker 9: It was really really fun watching him compete at that level,
1:29:23
Speaker 9: really cool to see that thing come to fruition.
1:29:25
Speaker 1: Were you as nervous as Ashley watching him on every
1:29:28
Speaker 1: stroke during that tournament?
1:29:31
Speaker 9: I was, And especially when I started seeing the pin position,
1:29:35
Speaker 9: especially when I started seeing the pin positions out there,
1:29:37
Speaker 9: I was like, thank god, I'm not playing.
1:29:40
Speaker 2: I've never watched so much golf just on an app,
1:29:43
Speaker 2: just showing me the lines of like where his shot
1:29:46
Speaker 2: is going because you couldn't see it on TV, just.
1:29:48
Speaker 9: Hitting refresh, refresh, refresh.
1:29:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh that's great. All right, kid, you are up
1:29:54
Speaker 1: in this round. You got Aaron Raye, who's coming off
1:29:56
Speaker 1: a major. You've got Ben Griffin, you got Justin Oh
1:30:00
Speaker 1: did I not give the list? I don't think I
1:30:02
Speaker 1: gave the list. Justin Thomas and Robert McIntyre. That's what
1:30:06
Speaker 1: you've got.
1:30:07
Speaker 8: Well, this is easy for me. Give me ribi on
1:30:10
Speaker 8: the plate, Aaron Rye glass. That's a championship meal. Baby,
1:30:15
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, put that.
1:30:18
Speaker 3: On your own.
1:30:19
Speaker 1: I did. I said it's gonna stick. It's gonna stick.
1:30:24
Speaker 1: It ain't snowing, but god sticking.
1:30:27
Speaker 3: My goodness, this cheese could come from this.
1:30:32
Speaker 1: All right, Aaron Rye is the pick there. All right, Alex,
1:30:34
Speaker 1: you've got the the last selection of this round. You
1:30:37
Speaker 1: have Ben Griffin, Justin Thomas, and Robert McIntyre to choose from.
1:30:42
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with the Scott Robert McIntyre, the leftie.
1:30:47
Speaker 1: All right, and you know why. Okay, here's what I'm
1:30:51
Speaker 1: worried about, and i'll get your reaction to this, Alex.
1:30:54
Speaker 1: Robert McIntyre seemed to like throw a fit in that
1:30:58
Speaker 1: last tournament. He was bob more bothered by the pin
1:31:01
Speaker 1: placement as you mentioned and everything else, I think, more
1:31:03
Speaker 1: so than any other golfer. And if this is going
1:31:06
Speaker 1: to be as frustrating a day in terms of conditions
1:31:10
Speaker 1: weekend in terms of conditions, do you think he has
1:31:13
Speaker 1: the composure two majors in a row to deal with
1:31:16
Speaker 1: that much tumult.
1:31:19
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, I'm hoping he learned something from the.
1:31:21
Speaker 2: First go round.
1:31:22
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, fair enough.
1:31:25
Speaker 9: I feel like you'll play well in the wind. It's
1:31:27
Speaker 9: kind of the Scottish style golf cours, kind of Scottish
1:31:29
Speaker 9: link style with wind, and he kind of grew up
1:31:31
Speaker 9: in that, so I'm hoping that translates.
1:31:33
Speaker 1: All right, Robert McIntyre, the selection from picker Alex Dunlop
1:31:37
Speaker 1: from PNW Golf Academy. All right, last round, and this
1:31:40
Speaker 1: is where you get to choose from anybody else in
1:31:43
Speaker 1: the tournament that wasn't in our first three groups. So
1:31:46
Speaker 1: the world is your oyster. At this point, I've got
1:31:49
Speaker 1: the first selection. Actually wanted this. I'm trying to figure
1:31:52
Speaker 1: out why, because I do. I love nothing more than
1:31:54
Speaker 1: to stealer selection. But I don't know if I if
1:31:59
Speaker 1: anybody's really pop up and for me on this. So
1:32:01
Speaker 1: I'm just going to take a guy that seems to
1:32:03
Speaker 1: be in the running lately in every one of these tournaments,
1:32:08
Speaker 1: even though he has as far as I can tell,
1:32:11
Speaker 1: and I don't have an expert, I like one of
1:32:13
Speaker 1: the uglier games out there. So I'm going to take
1:32:16
Speaker 1: the guy that Ashley calls the angry Dwarf. Give me
1:32:19
Speaker 1: tyrrel hats.
1:32:20
Speaker 2: See, that's who I'm thinking, isn't going to be able
1:32:22
Speaker 2: to maintain composure when these when this course is unplayed.
1:32:26
Speaker 1: Might be right, You might be right about that. So
1:32:28
Speaker 1: I take tyrrell Ad and I'm going to stick with it.
1:32:30
Speaker 1: Already wrote it down in pen and.
1:32:31
Speaker 3: Everything, and to be fair, I do call me angry elf.
1:32:34
Speaker 1: Angry else Okay, sorry, all right, kid, you were up next?
1:32:38
Speaker 1: Give me Wyndom Clark, Wyndham Clark. Okay, Wyndham Clark. It's
1:32:42
Speaker 1: been a while since I've talked about the hotel. And
1:32:46
Speaker 1: then Alex is up next. Who do you like Alex?
1:32:49
Speaker 1: From the rest of the field. I wish Derek Berg
1:32:53
Speaker 1: was in this tournament.
1:32:54
Speaker 2: I know.
1:32:57
Speaker 3: I took it last time. It was awesome.
1:33:01
Speaker 1: How well we go with? Uh?
1:33:04
Speaker 9: You know, I'm feeling Adam Scott making some history this week.
1:33:08
Speaker 1: I think you had to do that when you tell
1:33:10
Speaker 1: me he's got the prettiest swing out there. You had
1:33:14
Speaker 1: to come back and take Adam Scott later on in
1:33:16
Speaker 1: the draft. That is so on brand for Alex Dunlop,
1:33:20
Speaker 1: Is it not so on brand? All right, Ashley, you've
1:33:24
Speaker 1: got the last selection. Who do you want from the
1:33:26
Speaker 1: rest of the field.
1:33:28
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take since Yama.
1:33:31
Speaker 1: Oh so she does trust Brady a little bit? Yeh.
1:33:36
Speaker 1: Kurt Kittiyama is the selection. He's liked him two tournaments
1:33:39
Speaker 1: in a row. Ye by the way, but Kurt Kittiyama
