  Speaker 2: Draft King Sports book. You got off now we've got
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a long guy or the action never stopped?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Are you writing this down? No? Something?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: This is chugging Buck in the Morning's why you people
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: are beyond Let's go, let's get the game off. Oh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: good morning, Actually make that great morning. It is a Wednesday,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a hump day, and we welcome you into our radio show,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: which I guess today we'll go four hours. Why not?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Why not spice it up a little bit?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you want to?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I'm in Yeah, I know. Ashley was prepared to just
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: go to two and a half, two and three quarters.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, two and three quarters seemed about right.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: But we're going to four. We're going to full Monty
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: completely naked today for four hours talking sports. It is.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It's how you've come to know Chuck and Buck over
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the years.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we're allowed to go naked.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we can. I think this YouTube thing
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: is pretty loose with its rules. Okay, yeah, I see
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: an awful lot of people making an awful lot of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: money just getting naked on camera and putting it up
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: on the internet.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: That's true. Yeah, people do make quite a bit of
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: money doing it. Yeah, exactly, So why not us? Why
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: are we short changing ourselves?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's a fair question.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: People want to see our bits.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I know that they do.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: They do. I get an email every fifteen minutes.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know what. I love that for us.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: From several bloodthirsty, horny listeners.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, control yourselves, people.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome into the show. It is Ashley Ryan here,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: my name is Chuck Powell, and we've got a lot
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to discuss today here on this hump day, and we
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: will go through all of that with what's on tap
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: here in a matter of moments. But a great news
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: here on a great Wednesday morning is that this Mariners
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: baseball team just keeps on a winning eight straight wins
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: now for the local baseball team, And last night's wasn't
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: even a nail bier. Last night's was a little bit
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: of a runaway and hide kind of game. Those are
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: nice to have. On occasion the MS went over the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: New York Mets. Eight to three is your final score,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: so make it eight in a row for the home squad.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, it is nice to have one of those
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: every once in a while where you just get to
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: watch us just put up run after run after run
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: after I mean, after Julio's home run. The look on
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Logan Gilbert's face was like, thanks, guys, I really appreciate
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: that you did this for me today.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It really is the method for how to win baseball
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: games and the Jerry Depoto era. I believe I touched
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: upon it yesterday morning. Certainly, Anders and I talked about
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it in our latest episode of Stove thirty if you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: want to check that out at ninety three to three
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: KJR dot com. But this is how you want to win.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: This is how the Mariners going to win baseball games.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You're gonna get an occasional lopsided affair, but most of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the time you're leaning on very good to great starting pitching.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: You're leaning on a deep bullpen, which right now could
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: not be being used more effectively. And the piggyback had
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a lot to do to help with that. I mean,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the ability to pull off two wins so far in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this series, and to line up your favorite relievers and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: ideal situations against the ideal parts of the lineup that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the Mets present, and to go hitless, had no hit
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the New York Mets for four innings and in a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: matchup two nights ago, and then to not have to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: use any of those guys the following day, and you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: still have Bizardo, your fifth guy that you really do
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: count on in the next night's game. Plus you get
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to use Criswell for two innings because you've built a
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: lead of five runs in the contest late in the contest,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, now you're starting. I mean Scott's service did
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: have this ability, and he did have flaws himself, certainly,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and in areas where Dan's basically those are his strengths,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: like Scott's flaws were dan strengths, And there are times
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: where I think that Scott's strengths might be Dan's flaws.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But sometimes you just got to get into the rhythm
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of the season. And I really think that this team
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: was just so out of rhythm for seven weeks into
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the year, and now you're starting to see that where
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you're catching a few breaks where it felt like we
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: were never going to catch a break in a few
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: games earlier this year. The bullpen has now seen me
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: lining up for you on a nightly basis. I mean,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you got everybody healthy and ready to go for today
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that you would want to use in a Game three
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of a series against the New York Mets on an
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: afternoon at T Mobile and perfect weather conditions for a sweep.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So it is kind of going the way you want.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And plus this is the other aspect because I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: think that this Mariners team is built and unfortunately has
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: never been built to just beat the tar out of opponents.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: But they are hitting home runs at a pace that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: no one else in the sport is. And if you're
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: hitting home runs, and I think Aaron does a little
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: too much on it, I think it's because Aaron's already
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: gone out on the limb to say it's impossible in
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: this sport to string together hits. So he really does
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: kind of lean on his narrative that you've got to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: get hit home runs in today's game, and the way
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this roster is constructed, you got to hit home runs
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of truth to it. I don't
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: think that's the only way to score runs, even in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: modern day baseball. But when you have the combination a
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: very good to great starting pitching, a bullpen that just
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: seems to be in a rhythm right now, and I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: think that is important to these guys, and an offense
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that hits the long ball, you're gonna win a lot
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of games. That's just you are gonna win a lot
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of games. Maybe you don't go now eight no, maybe
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you don't win that many games. Eight games and eight wins.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You know this is unsustainable, but you're gonna win a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: lot of games that way. And a lot of people
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: were talking about this yesterday nationally, not just locally, Jim
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Bowden many others that it looks like the Mariners are
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: starting to sink their teeth into this divisional race, into
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: this twenty twenty six season, and the pull away kind
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: of feels like it's happening. We're not gonna celebrate that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: We're not going to give into that, but they do
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: really feel right now, Ashley, like they're doing that. We're
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: flying good baseball, but we start from scratch every day.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: The next day we focus on that win, what it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: going to take to win that particular game, and lo
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and behold, you clean things up, Suddenly you start getting
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: a few breaks, probably because you did clean things up,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and now you're just taking off win after win after win.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Long way to go. We're still over one hundred games
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: to play this year, and yet it does feel like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the team we expected to take the ball field this
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: year is on that field.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: It doesn't feel nearly as frustrating. It's been awesome to
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: watch these last eight games. And has there been aspects
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: in those eight games that have been frustrating, Yes, still
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: because some of those close games get very stressful. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: they do seem to be clicking. They seem to be
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: something's different than what we were watching obviously last month.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: And yeah, still early, still got a long way to go,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: but it's nice to see them moving in the right direction,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: the direction that we were hoping for when the season started,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: when you guys were at spring training.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the strengths of the team are starting pitching,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: bullpen when healthy, and your ability to hit homers. And
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that's how you're winning baseball games right now. You're getting
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a good starting pitching performance nearly every night during this streak,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: if well, actually during the streak, every night you're getting
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a good starting pitching performance. And like I said, that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: bullpen sometimes requires a rhythm, and I don't know if
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Dan's gotten them into that rhythm, but recently, because of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: results from previous games, it's kind of allowed you to
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: line up your your your mercenaries one after another in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the right position, and it just this is winning baseball.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: This is what it looks like. And yes, this team
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is starting to discover its strengths and actually starting to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: execute them on the baseball field. And I really don't
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: know where this is coming from. Last night, I think
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it's because I do have to pay attention into social
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: media and I don't know why my timeline is chocked
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: full of people that seem to have to have a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: problem every night with Mariners Baseball. Now, I admit I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: had a problem with Mariner's TV yesterday that I went
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: on a rant about. But even in an eight game
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: winning streak, I mean, just one text after another, it
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: felt like Logan's gotta go. Really, yeah, really, Logan's gotta go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: How did you arrive at that conclusion?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Because people have no patients at all.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think that they there's just this mat
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and it's all it's social media. I know it's not
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: in the ballpark, and I know it's not on the streets,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and I know it's not in the local sports bar.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I know that it's on these social media platforms which
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: are dominated by younger people, and younger people just have
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to have something that bothers them as sports fans. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: think that's just the conclusion that I have to draw,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: because I don't know how you could walk away from
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: an eighth win in eight nights, an eight three victory,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and have any problem with what Logan Gilbert did last night. Yeah,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: he didn't go six innings, okay, and more often than
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: not he has been kind of tiring after five. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: he's coming off two great performances and last night was
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: perfectly fine. He gave up a two run homer to Binge,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the rookie that's a talented hitter, and Gilbert is a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: guy that challenges hitters. He's gonna give up a long
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: ball every now and then. But after that, what problem
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: do you have with him? Because he gave up a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: second one when he was already up five runs. Pitchers
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: have to pitch to the ball game and the way
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that it is unfolding. Her Scheizer doesn't even think we
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: should pay that close of attention to er in baseball,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: because era often is dictated from a pitcher on how
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: close the games are that he pitches in. When you're
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: up five, the marching orders are, don't walk anyone. When
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: your marching orders are first and foremost, don't walk anyone
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: because that leads to big innings. Make them hit their
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: way on. Well, they're probably gonna square up something that
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: you're gonna leave over the middle because you're not trying
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to play the edges because you're up five runs.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Right, and I'm not walking anyone.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And that's what happens when you have a big lead,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and then the closer it gets, then you've got to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: be a little more careful. That's kind of the way
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it works. And so why you would have a problem
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: with anything that Logan Gilbert did last night? And yeah,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: he didn't get through the sixth inning, but then again,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: he sat for forty minutes while Jonah Toong struggled to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: get the Mariner's lineup out in the previous half inning.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: That was the Johnny Parade, a three run homer where
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: he had the nine pitch at bat, Tong had thrown
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: twenty three pitches, seven guys came to the plate, three
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: runs were scored. And when a starting pitcher sits on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a bench for forty five minutes and then goes back
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: out to the mound with a five run lead, guess
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. Number one, he's not going to try
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to be as fine as he was before because he
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to give up the walk. And number two,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: he's also sat after eighty pitches for forty five minutes
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and probably isn't going to be as fresh as what
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: he was previous to that. So I don't know if
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: you I don't know if it's just maybe I shouldn't
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: pay attention to it. I think that's probably the moral
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: of the story. But I do try to keep my
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: finger on the pulse of things, and it just seems
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: that there's a fraction of this fan base that just
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: has to have not just a problem. I mean, you
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: can go through any game and you can find highlights
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and low lights, strengths and weaknesses, you can point out
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: things that you're concerned about, but it just feels like
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: every game there's something about this roster that is just
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: this just has to be, this just has to go.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And last night it was Logan Gilbert getting it in
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the teeth last night by the fan base, And so
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: just pump the brakes on that we got a really
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: good starting pitcher. We're not going to trade him before
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the trading deadline. I think we might trade him this offseason.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Think you might want to brace yourself for that. Gilbert
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: family might want to brace themselves for that. Don't know
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: if I would get little Logi all that many Mariner things,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: because I do imagine that he's going to play on
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a different team next year. But trading a veteran in
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the middle of the season, I mean trade deadline moves
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: are I'm going to give You're a seller and I'm
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: a buyer, and I'm going to give you all of
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: these pieces for the future and you give me a
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: piece for now. That's like ninety eight percent of trade
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: deadline trades. So what do you bet you really want
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: to trade Logan Gilbert for prospects?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I would not like.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: To, you know, is that what you're suggesting that you do?
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Because you trade anyone for anyone? I want a hit her. Yeah, Well,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: that's just that can crush it. But Logan Gilbert for
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: a hitter. Guess what the team that you are trading
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Logan Gilbert for at the trading deadline is probably if
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: they want Logan Gilbert. They're trying to win now a hitter.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: So they're not going to give up some piece that
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: can help them win now, right. I mean, that's that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't even make any sense, right, So we're not going
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to trade Logan Gilbert. I mean, I'm not gonna say absolute.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I don't like to speak in absolutes. I wouldn't say
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: it's one hundred percent sure. Maybe there's a team that says, man,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: we have to have a pitcher, and we're and we
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: have really good offense we're willing to sacrifice a veteran for.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: But it's so rare that it's likely not going to occur.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: So I think Logan Gilbert's on this team, and I
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: think we should celebrate Logan Gilbert being on this team,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: especially as of late. That's three good starts in a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: row from Logan. So I don't know where the anger
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: came with Logan Gilbert here as of late, but pump
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the breaks on that because I think we're gonna need
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert to win this year. I want to win
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: this year. I want Logan Gilbert to win with this
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: team this year, and then this offseason. Yeah, we probably
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: do have to consider moving on from him if he
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't play ball with us contractually in a negotiation.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Right, which we've already talked about.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: That he wants to potentially be closer to his family
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: in Florida, and that that's a possibility, and I wouldn't.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I don't see a world where they're trading him this
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: season either, nor do I nor do I have any
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: problem with what he did last night. His last starts
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: have been great. He's been great. He's I mean, if
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: we're nitpicking what's going on in a eight three win
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: or whatever, then okay, well you know what nitpick away?
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah it is the We just won eight to three.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: We won eight games in a row. Logan's had three
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: good starts in a row. But he to go because
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I have to have something strong and bold to say tonight.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And so Logan didn't get through the sixth. Give him
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a bus ticket one way out of town. I can't
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: take this anymore.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Those people are idiot.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: You can't take it anymore. To watch a guy give
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: up one home run early in the game and then
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: builds a five run lead and then gives up a
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: second home run.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: It was too painful. Chuck can't get through.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: The sixth because he just sat for forty five minutes
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: after an eighty pitch performance. You can't you can't tolerate that.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: You can't have that guy on your baseball team, like
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest teammates in the history of baseball.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: You don't want that guy on your team.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people are dumb, that's Ashley suit.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I was trying not to go there. Oh, I guess
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I was trying to say, man, can't you enjoy No,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: it's finally clicking. The team that we thought we had
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: is finally showing up on a nightly bay. And there's
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: gonna be another slump. I promise you there's gonna be
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: another slump. There's gonna be another icky stretch of Mariners baseball,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and it could happen at any moment. I know this
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: team well enough. It just I know this sport well enough.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: It could just turn on a dime at some point.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: We're have another icky stretch. But what I like, even
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: more so than the eight and eight wins in a row.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Is that? Ah, Yes, this is the team we forecasted.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Very good to great starting pitching, very good to great, bullpen,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: win healthy, and they line up that even if they're
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: not clicking at all times, even if they don't stringle
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: together a lot of hits, they've got power from the
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: top to the bottom, and they will hit home runs.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: And T Mobile lately has played like a home run ballpark.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: And so this is the formula. This is the formula
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: we saw it at the beginning of the year. It's
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: what we're getting now. And it to me is just
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a oh, thank goodness, I wasn't wrong about this team
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: because this is the way they're supposed to play, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it's all still being done without our best player.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: And it is funny because I think so many people think, oh,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: this is the way they're supposed to be playing. It
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: almost I wouldn't say that the eight eight wins is
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: flying under the radar, but it feels like, Okay, well
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: this is what we expected versus like the whoo wins
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: in a row, you know, like it's it's like, okay,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: stack them together, let's keep going, Let's keep going. Because
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: it was so rough for that first however many weeks.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe just try to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: enjoy something.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people enjoying it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I agree one thousand percent. But there's
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: just the ones that you have to read at night.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I mean it's ninety percent of what I read at
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: night on that platform, it's ninety percent.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Oh wow.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: It's just you get done with the game and you've
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: got to this has to change. Now, this has to change.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: You know. Anders has a little bit of that in him.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I mean he's trying to chase Andre's Munos out of
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the closer role. That's his favorite play, and he doesn't
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: have any more patience than that. It's just like this
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: feeling of I don't know, you've probably had like an
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: uncle that can't be happy with his house. He's always
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: got to have a project that he's working lot, you know.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: You know, oh man, I know, I just put in
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the pool, but this kitchen, yeah, it all. There's there's
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: this mentality that goes on on like a nightly basis
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: with this baseball team, and I just I just can't
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: imagine getting to the end of a eight three win
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: after eight straight wins and finally feeling like this is
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: the team I thought we were going to be rooting
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: for this season, and they're playing exactly the way that
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I hope that they would play for most of the season,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and then every night have some major change that has
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to occur because you've had it up to hear.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: With a good player, because they're unserious.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: That's why, all right, let's find out what's on tap
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the show. What's untip? What's untip?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Eighty three Mariners over the Mets. That's eight wins in
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a row. The team is thirty three and twenty nine
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: on this campaign. But all of a sudden, the Texas
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Rangers have started rattling off wins as well, believe it
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: or not, through all of the crushing of the American
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: League West. So far this year, we have two teams
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that are in the playoffs right now, including the Rangers,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: and the first team outside the playoffs looking in is
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: also from the American League West. Now, I'm not saying
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the American League West has had a great year, or
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: even a good year, or even a decent year. I'm
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: just saying, when you give it one hundred and sixty
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: two games, things start to average out. I don't think
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: this is a terrible division. I don't think it's one
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of the better ones. I don't think it's a terrible division.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: But who cares. Let's win it by thirty five games.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I don't give a damn like I hope it is bad.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I want I want an easy stretch in the second half.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to line up the starting
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: pitchers for the playoffs. So another thing to not get
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: stretched over is that we're running. We might be pulling
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: away in the division, but it's not a very good division.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Who cares pull away? Yeah, pull the f away. The
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: series ends today at twelve forty. It'll be George Kirby
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: for US and Freddie Peralta for them. They've pulled their
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: opener trick twice. They're not going to do that today.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: We're going to face Freddy Peralta for quite some time.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: So we should see Raleian Canzone in the lineup together
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: for most of this game, if not all of this game.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And so that'll start at twelve forty. For you, the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: men's super Regionals will start on Friday. You know that
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the top two teams in the men's Baseball Tournament have
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: been knocked out UCLA the one seed, Georgia Tech the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: two seed. I was really looking forward to seeing Georgia Tech.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: They're saying that it's one of the best draft classes
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: coming out of that school that we've seen in a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: number of years. But they got knocked out of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: regionals that they hosted, and so the Super Regionals will
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: continue without the top two ranked teams in America. The
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Women's College World Series, they've reached the finals. That is
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: a three game series. It starts tonight between Texas Tech
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: and Texas at five o'clock. Danielle Laurie, one of the
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: greatest pitchers in the history of the sport, of course,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: right here from you dub She's going to join us
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: today at seven five. The Storm and the Mercury are
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: in action tonight at seven o'clock. NBA Finals also tips
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: tonight at five. That's game number one and it will
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: be played in San Antonio. The Stanley Cup Finals started
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: last night with Las Vegas winning over Carolina five to four.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: A fantastic start for the Stanley Cup Final. That was
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: one heck of a game right there. The World Cup,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: it turns out, starts in two weeks, exactly two weeks from.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Now, Chuck, Yes, actually it's eight days.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: That's what I said. Two weeks the World Cup finally
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: does get going. And know a lot of people are
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: looking forward to that. Those two weeks are going to
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: be hard to fill. Seahawks extended Derek Hall yesterday to
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a brand new contract and seemed like the perfect opportunity
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: for Ian Furness to choose Derek Hall in our Seahawks
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: one series today. But at Furness he will not, he
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: will not go operate sometimes not with the standard rules
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: of operation. He's gone out on his own. So find
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: out who he's gonna break down with us. That's one
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: analyst breaking down one key Shawk player for one entire
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: interview again today at eight o'clock, and of course we'll
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: talk more about Miles Garrett today. Aaron Donald looking more
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: and more like he's going to try or return to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams. That's frightening. Also Aj Brown already
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: in uniform with this brand new team, the new England Patriots.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about all of those things later on in
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the show, but coming up next details on last night's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: eight to three win by the Mariners, it's Mariners Morning
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: After on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. It
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: is time for Mariners Morning After, where we play fun music,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: uplifting music, lighthearted music, music to dance.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Too, because people do like that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, and so we've got a highlight, we've got a SoundBite,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: we got a preview of what's going on today coming
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: up here in Mariners Morning After on this Wednesday. MS
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: taking on the Mets again last night, had to face
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: another opener last night, and Huascar Braza Bond has been
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: good all the way back to the WBC where he
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: was dominating, and yet the Mets decided, well, you you
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: look so good, let's have you pitch a second inning.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: A mistake. Patrick Wisdom ends up hitting a two run
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: homer to get the scoring started, his first contribution to
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: the Mariners this season, really, and it's two to nothing
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: at that point. Mets come right back though in the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: third inning with a two run homer of their own
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: off of Logan Gilbert. The Ems retake the lead in
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the bottom of the third inning, some errors helping that occur.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: As the MS there were a pair of kind of
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: knuckleball hit hits and I think Aaron went as far
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: as calling it like little league baseball, I don't think
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I go that far. I thought those were hard hit
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: knuckleballs that were difficult to grab. Now I get that
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: they looked awkward, but I don't think those were the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: easiest plays to make. I thought there was an argument
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: to be made for being hits both of those plays,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: but they called them both errors.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I didn't know if the Little league come
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: it was more because there's a lot of errors in
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: little league, like just because of the fact that then
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: when the ball, especially on the second one, when it
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: went just kind of ran and took forever for someone
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: to get it back in that kind of happens in
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: little league.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, well, I didn't see it being little league.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I saw two scorched balls that were knuckling that probably
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: weren't the easiest thing to catch. I think I would
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: have even considered giving them hits. But maybe I didn't
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: see it the right way.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And I think Ryan agreed with that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: To Mariners take a three to two lead at that point.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Then sack watch in the bottom of the fourth and
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Julio comes through with a sack fly to left to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: make it four to two, but the game really did
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: change for good. In the bottom of the fifth inning,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: with two men on and two outs, Johnny Pareda puts
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: together one heck of an at bat against New York
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: long reliever Jonah Tong to Tong Tong Kong uh, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Parada just waited him out until he got his pitch.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: This is pitch number nine out to deep field Johnny
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Preda with a three run tange and he blows in,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: opening the fence seven to two Mariners. Oh boy, he's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: winning over hearts that. Johnny Pareda a three run homer.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: He plays with the joy of a little leaguer.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: He does.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: The pitchers seem to really like throwing to him. He
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: can take a cup shot like few other people out
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: there out Yeah. He took another one by the way
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: later in that same path, and it just grazed it
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: this time, so he was like, well, I guess I
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: shouldn't make another big deal out of it, but that
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: hurts too.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one stings a bit.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: And then there was another wild pitch that bounce through
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: his legs in that same inning and he was like,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: what is happening? Do I have a bullseye? Oh?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, john he does.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But Johnny Parada pretty much nearly pulled off the catcher's
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: hat trick last night. Took one in the nuts, hit
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: a three run homer, and also if he would have
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: just thrown out a base runner, he would have scored
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the catcher's hat tricks hat trick. Hut, that's it. That's
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: it as far as I'm concerned. But Parda has got
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: people talking about whether or not he's going to stay
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: on the lineup when Cal Rawley comes back, because man,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that clubhouse clearly likes that guy. I mean, they celebrate
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: pretty much everything he does on the baseball field. And
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: he's not been a Mariner foot by for about fifteen
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: sixteen minutes, and yet he's kind of one overhearts in
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: that dugout, that's for sure.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's impossible not to notice. They all really like him.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: He seems to just bring a lot of energy, and
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I think that's definitely what this team has needed and
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: that's helped them on this eight game win streak.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think the solutions when Cal comes back is
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that we're going to keep three catchers because none of
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: them have position flexibility, and so I don't think that's
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: going to be the solution. Parada does have options, they
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: probably will send him down, but it's it is certainly
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: an interesting discussion. I mean, you've got Mitch who's actually
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: been hitting well since Cal went on the injury list,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: a lot better than what you realize. Plus he's the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: best challenger in the sport, which is something that has
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: never been said ever. And then you've got Parada who
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: just seems to fit hand in glove with this roster,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: and he's contributing at the plate even more so than
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: what Garver does. And then obviously Cal comes back and
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: he's your everyday catcher. So it'll be interesting when the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: time comes to see what they do with that decision.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I saw a lot of just replace ref Snyder and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: keep three catchers. I don't think they're gonna do that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's just enough position flexibility to keep three.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Can only catch guys on your roster. So we'll see.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: We's got time to make that decision. It sounds like
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert, despite some frustration expressed by some Mariner fans
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: throughout the evening last night on social media, I thought
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: was perfectly fine last night. Yeah, I gave up a
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: couple home runs to rookie Carson Benge, but the second
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: one was after the team had built him a five
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: run lead. So he goes five and third innings, he
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: only allowed four hits only I allowed for it, struck
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: out eight guys.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: How dare he yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: And gets the win. That's three, in my opinion, three
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: really good starts in a row for Logan Gilbert. Maybe
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: he didn't have a great start like he did the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: previous two outings, but nonetheless it feels like Logan's turned
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the corner here in twenty twenty six. Here he is
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: after the game.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just a lot of momentum. I think you can't
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: ever let your guard down. I think everything's perfect. We're
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: playing really well and got to do everything we can
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: to keep it going. But I think just both sides
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: of the ball, everybody's doing their job. Obviously, the offense,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: what they're doing is crazy, so that's a huge part
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: of it. I feel like the bullpen's been doing amazing,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: starters are doing their job, so just a little bit
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: of everything. Really, it's a deep lineup, there's no breaks
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: for other pitchers one to nine putting up really good
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: at bats. Obviously the home runs you see that, but
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: getting that break in between innings, having the freedom just
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: to fill it up and try to force contact. I
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: feel like that's really important as a picture Compared that, Yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: it felt good. I think it's good depth, the action's on,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: it's good. I trusted in a count. I think Johnny
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: did a good job recognizing when to use it, so
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: he's he's really been good the last couple of starts
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: of I think recognizing hitters situations to throw certain pitches
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: in and just trying to like put a fastball on it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I call it, like sell it and make it look
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: like your body, your your arm, your hand, everything, try
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: to sell that it's fastball coming out. But like I said,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: shout out to Johnay, he had really good back there
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: and got banged up. That was a tough one.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert last night, completely lovable.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I just like it's hard to hear at the end,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: but he goes, he did really good back there last
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: night and got banged up, and then he giggled like
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: a little boy. He goes.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Got hitting the nuts.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was just funny, like ouch.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: And I love that. Now that cal is not on
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the field, it's like he just can't help himself. He
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: has to sit by him when he's not focusing on
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: the game. It's this guy. It's this guy. Yeah, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Gilbert's the guy come on three point seven to ninety ra.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: The way he started this season is fine. A one
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: point one oh whip is really good. Two thirty four
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: batting average against this year is fantastic. He had eight
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: strikeouts last night, allowed four. It's in five and a
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: third innings and some of you want to replace him
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: in the starting rotation. I just don't get it. So
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I thought, nice job by logan Gilbert under the circumstances.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And man is cold Emerson, Oh boy, is he winning
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: hearts in this town?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: My that catched it at a game? What a player
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: made me very nervous.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Thought.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: He was like, oh my god, did he just hurt himself?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: It hurts a thirty year old. A thirty year old
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: goes on the ill. At twenty year old's a little
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: more rubbery. He's like, yeah, but he had I mean
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the that was a really good play. Again, that's the
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: play that gets attention because he's sprawled out and he's
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: going up against the wall and everything else, and that
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: was a great play, but the one earlier, the dive,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: we had no reaction time at all. Yeah, and still
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: makes the play. So we had two gold glove plays.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Last night. He had a scorched double down the right
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: field line and then a bunth single at the absolute
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: perfect time to lay it down because the Mets were
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: reeling from having given up the parade, a three run homer,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and he's like, you're not thinking about this at all,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: and he just lays it down and beats it out.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, my goodness, what are we dealing with here?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Because this kid looks special.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he really does. He's it's fun to watch.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad he's here, no matter how he got here,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I'm glad he's here.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Chance for a third consecutive sweep. Twelve forty first pitch.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: We won't deal with an opener today. Freddie Peralta starts
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: for the New York Mets. He's really good, and they've
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: played the opener card two games in a row, so
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Peralta will start and go deep in this game. The
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Mariners will counter with George Kirby and he could really
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: use a good outing. I think of all our starting pitchers,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: he could use a really good dominant outing today, but
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: we shall see how it unfolds. We have ABC's a
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: little bit later on in the show and more. But
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: coming up next. The Stanley Cup Finals got started last night,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and I've got a reason why you should be rooting
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: for the Carolina Hurricanes, and it has absolutely nothing to
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: do with expansion envy of the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next. Sports Radio ninety three point
• 34:20

• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you're at a casino. That's awesome. On
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: top of going to watch a country music concert.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Why'd you go to all that trouble buying that shirt
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: with all those snaps on it if you weren't going
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to really embellish it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Celebrate live people, all right. So the Stanley Cup Final
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: got underway last night. The Carolina Hurricanes lose. I mean,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: it was a terrific game, back and forth. I mean,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: tremendous energy in the building. Nine goals scored in the game,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: but Las Vegas ends up winning it five to four,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and I realized they're all hard team to root for
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas, and I think most of it comes from
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: expansion envy that they just have done it so perfectly
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. And yes, they were given some benefits
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: that the Kraken didn't get, but we also need to
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: give them credit for they also made a awful lot
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: of great decisions there. They even fired their head coach
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: even though they were having a decent season this year,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: fire their head coach mid season. Higher and pretty much
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: bona fide a hole in Tortorelly, but he knows his
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: hockey and he's he's basically the Billy Martin of the NHL.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: And now here they are three wins away from the
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Championship. So it's already kind of easy not
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: to root, especially when we are on the West Coast.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: With their division.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we also are a recent expansion franchise and we
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: haven't had near the success that they've had, so that
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: in and of itself is probably reason and cause to
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: root for Caroline. But I'm telling you, getting past our pettiness,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: the real reason to root for Carolina is because that's
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: the type of team Ron Francis and company built here
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: unless they're gonna blow it completely up, and who knows
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: what direction that takes us. I mean, we've got to
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: believe I don't. I mean, we're not watching a terrible team,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: We're just watching a mediocre team. They can't seem to
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: get over the hump here the last couple of years.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: And I know Todd lai Wicki, and I know Jason Bottrell,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: and I know Lane Lambert believe they have a better
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: team than what their record indicates. And Ron Francis, for
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: better or worse, he's not here anymore. But he built
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: this team like he built Carolina, And even though some
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: other guys have taken over for Carolina obviously in the
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: last few years, Ron Francis hands is still all over
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: that roster and the way that they wanted to play
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: hockey this year, and look how good they do it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I mean they're win without superstars. They don't have a superstar,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: I mean anything close to a superstar on their team,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and yet here they are themselves four wins away from
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Championship. So I gotta believe that if
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: you think, if you want to root for Crack and
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: playoff hockey soon, you kind of have to buy into
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: the fact that we can't be that far away. We
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: can't be as far away as what our record indicates.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: And if there's a style by which we can succeed
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: at the highest level. I mean, Carolina's doing it. They're
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: doing it without bona fide superstars in their lineup. That's
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: how we were constructed. Maybe we're just a player or
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: two away. Maybe we're just an adjustment or two away,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: as opposed to blowing up the entire roster, and who
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: knows what comes up on the other side of that.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's one of the things though
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: that has been frustrating, is because it has felt like
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: we are maybe just a player or two away for
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years now, and then bringing in
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: mcm though that seemed to be something that made a
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: big difference. And if we could keep him, great, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I hope we can. I will more root for Carolina
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: just because of I can't root for Vegas, but I
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: appreciate the point of yeah, the similarities between the two
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: teams and how it could feel cracking ish.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Well, if getting superstar players is the hardest thing to
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: do from a GM perspective in the NHL, because there
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: just aren't enough to go around, then if that's so
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: hard to do, near impossible to do, then the other
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: option is fine. Tuning what you have, and it needs
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: to look if you're gonna play that way like Carolina looks,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: and the fact that they can go the distance that
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: they can be on the verge of a Stanley Cup
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: championship should give you hope that maybe the Kraken aren't
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: as far away as what it feels like to us
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: right now, because if it takes getting McDavid, I don't
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: think we're gonna get him, right. I think the better
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: chance is that what we have have plays better with
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: a couple of player adjustments made to the roster going
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: forward and being more like Carolina than we're ever going
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: to be like Colorado.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that all right.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, Headlines plus Daniel Laurie, local legend, joins
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: us to talk all sorts of things. Sports Radio ninety
