- 1:04Speaker 1: you with us on this Friday. That's right, you heard
- 1:07Speaker 1: me correctly. It is Friday. Celebrate today. Celebrate this morning
- 1:13Speaker 1: around the house with your pants off.
- 1:15Speaker 3: It's Friday. It's Friday, once a week. It's Friday.
- 1:20Speaker 2: That's how I celebrate every Friday. No pants?
- 1:22Speaker 3: Did your mom? I met? Your Mom's a lovely woman.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Did she like?
- 1:26Speaker 4: Uh?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Did she like? Does she sing songy around the house? Yes? Yeah,
- 1:31Speaker 3: are all moms that way, I think.
- 1:33Speaker 4: So she sings to my dog, she sings to my cats,
- 1:36Speaker 4: she sings to her cats, she sings to every everything.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do too.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
- 1:43Speaker 2: And then Palmer does.
- 1:44Speaker 3: I think that.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I think it's a trade in a lot of because
- 1:47Speaker 1: I'm kind of sing songy too. Yeah, but I really
- 1:50Speaker 1: think like Mom's yeah, I think he comes sing songy.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I don't know what what that trade is.
- 1:56Speaker 1: But like Mother's Days on Sunday, and I was just
- 2:00Speaker 1: thinking about my own mom when I said Friday, because
- 2:03Speaker 1: she always had this song.
- 2:04Speaker 3: It's Friday, It's Friday. Once a week, it's Friday. That
- 2:09Speaker 3: was it. But she would sing it every Friday.
- 2:11Speaker 2: I love it because once a week it was Friday.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And she was not lying.
- 2:16Speaker 3: She I mean, she nails it. She is. She's nothing
- 2:19Speaker 3: if not accurate.
- 2:20Speaker 4: I think it comes from the fact though, that especially
- 2:23Speaker 4: like if you have kids when they're little, Yeah, you're
- 2:27Speaker 4: talking to them and they're not talking to you, So
- 2:31Speaker 4: then you just kind of get used to and say
- 2:34Speaker 4: with pets.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Like oh blah blah, well what are we doing.
- 2:37Speaker 4: We're sitting here doing chores around the house by ourselves,
- 2:40Speaker 4: and all I have to do is talk to my
- 2:42Speaker 4: kid who's not talking because the baby or my pets.
- 2:45Speaker 2: So then you just kind of I don't know.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Like Bunker's years will perk up if I sing around
- 2:50Speaker 4: the house, so then you'd get a reaction, and then
- 2:53Speaker 4: it's just a fun, fun thing.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah, she always said it's always on a Wednesday, the
- 2:59Speaker 1: wedds begin to though.
- 3:03Speaker 4: I don't think that I could like remember any songs
- 3:06Speaker 4: my mom things because they weren't.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Like helpful for the day of the week.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Well, they weren't exactly great songs, Quincy Jones. She's not
- 3:16Speaker 1: Bob Dylan, not real deep sense.
- 3:19Speaker 2: They made sense right, Well they couldn't.
- 3:21Speaker 1: They cut to the chase of it. Yeah, right to
- 3:23Speaker 1: the core of the matters. And now I don't know
- 3:26Speaker 1: if the winds really did start to blow on Wednesday.
- 3:28Speaker 3: So that could be just a big lie spread by
- 3:32Speaker 3: somebody that gave me life.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Yeah, so she might be a Liar's a there's a
- 3:37Speaker 1: chance of that. I don't know there's any statistical data
- 3:40Speaker 1: suggests that Wednesdays the winds blow harder than they do
- 3:43Speaker 1: on any other day.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'm gonna look it up.
- 3:45Speaker 1: But she certainly married herself to it and sang about
- 3:48Speaker 1: it every.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Wednesday from my entire childhood. But very interesting, very interesting.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Indeed, speaking of mothers, do you have Mother's Day plans?
- 4:00Speaker 3: We are on Friday. It's Mother's Day. For goodness, I.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Am so glad you oh about Mother's Day plans because
- 4:06Speaker 4: here's the thing, and it's really nice to know that, Like,
- 4:09Speaker 4: no matter what you do in life, everyone's thinking about
- 4:13Speaker 4: you when it comes to Mother's Day. Like they're like,
- 4:15Speaker 4: you know what, we got to do something special to
- 4:17Speaker 4: celebrate the moms. So if you're a travel softball mom,
- 4:21Speaker 4: they're like, you know what the moms really want on
- 4:25Speaker 4: Mother's Day weekend to travel to Lacey to watch a
- 4:29Speaker 4: softball tournament.
- 4:30Speaker 2: That's what they want.
- 4:31Speaker 4: Moms don't want a weekend off of staying in a
- 4:35Speaker 4: comfort in moms want softball in Lacey.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Why would they do that? I mean pretty much everybody's
- 4:43Speaker 3: aware of mothers. Yeah.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Oh, that's why it's called the Mom's Celebration tournament because
- 4:49Speaker 4: I can't.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Take a Sunday off.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Everybody knows that moms get run ragged when they have
- 4:54Speaker 1: kids that play sports.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all I'm saying.
- 4:58Speaker 2: It's all I'm saying.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Huh, so let me take Let me guess that's a
- 5:01Speaker 3: dad that runs the league.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Most likely because there's no tournament on Father's Day.
- 5:06Speaker 3: There's no way, you there's no way that any decent
- 5:08Speaker 3: mother out there is going to schedule some sort of
- 5:11Speaker 3: softball tournament on Mother's Day.
- 5:13Speaker 2: No, because there's no mother out there that was like
- 5:16Speaker 2: you know what.
- 5:16Speaker 4: I remember when I was traveling with my child during
- 5:21Speaker 4: softball season and we had tournaments every weekend. Yeah, there's
- 5:25Speaker 4: no time where I wanted time off. So we should
- 5:28Speaker 4: we should make sure the moms are all off at
- 5:31Speaker 4: six am so they can have their kids to the
- 5:33Speaker 4: field by six forty five.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I think that's garbage. Yeah, if you need me to
- 5:37Speaker 1: sign a petition, sign.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I might need you to write it.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Oh I need to write one, all right. It might
- 5:43Speaker 1: have some colorful language in it. I'm not sure the
- 5:47Speaker 1: office that it lands at will appreciate it. But I
- 5:51Speaker 1: think about it. When I played, and I don't think
- 5:54Speaker 1: I played little league and high school. I don't think
- 5:59Speaker 1: in Midwest in the in the in the eighties that
- 6:03Speaker 1: we were playing nearly as much as these kids seem
- 6:06Speaker 1: to play today. I mean, we played once during the
- 6:08Speaker 1: week and I, if I remember correctly, like once on
- 6:11Speaker 1: the weekend, okay, and that was about it. But it
- 6:14Speaker 1: was like one game. It wasn't like a tournament. We
- 6:16Speaker 1: rarely had a tournament. They had like two tournaments a year.
- 6:20Speaker 1: But I can't tell you for sure if we didn't
- 6:25Speaker 1: respect Mother's Day.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I don't.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I don't remember it, but I wouldn't put it past
- 6:30Speaker 1: us even then to have played on Sundays.
- 6:33Speaker 3: But it doesn't ring a bell. So I don't know
- 6:36Speaker 3: what's happened.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I don't know if the people run in the Little
- 6:38Speaker 1: League have just decided they hate mothers.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I don't know. It's a strange decision to have arrived at.
- 6:43Speaker 3: I'll tell you that much.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I will say it is a strange decision. But it's
- 6:46Speaker 2: not Little League that hates the mothers.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Little League we only played Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, so we
- 6:50Speaker 4: had three games in the week.
- 6:52Speaker 2: This is select that we travel for.
- 6:55Speaker 3: So yeah, I was on a select team. Yeah, yeah,
- 6:58Speaker 3: it's a lot different.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Yeah. I just want to say Little League full respect
- 7:01Speaker 4: of all the moms that we're not playing little.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Okay, so is respecting mother's It's just when you have
- 7:08Speaker 1: an advanced child, then you don't you have to sacrifice
- 7:12Speaker 1: all motherly gifts?
- 7:13Speaker 2: Correct? Yeah, well look what you did. You created this
- 7:17Speaker 2: mess so.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Understood now it makes sense. Yeah, I get it now.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Never mind. Yeah, not gonna make that draft after all,
- 7:25Speaker 3: now that it makes so much sense.
- 7:27Speaker 2: The good news is too.
- 7:28Speaker 4: By the way, I haven't been down to the Olympia
- 7:31Speaker 4: area in two weeks, so I mean I've really been
- 7:35Speaker 4: missing it.

- 8:19Speaker 1: That's what we got to get done. Love it that

- 9:18Speaker 2: A very big chance.
- 9:22Speaker 3: That's it.
- 9:22Speaker 2: That's it, that's it.
- 9:23Speaker 3: We nailed it all right.
- 9:26Speaker 1: We got what's on tap for you coming up in
- 9:28Speaker 1: a moment. We'll tell you exactly the mother that's going
- 9:30Speaker 1: to join us today on the radio program. Then, But man,
- 9:34Speaker 1: we got more news. I mean, I realized we've been
- 9:37Speaker 1: talking about this a lot, but man, it is. I
- 9:41Speaker 1: was just talking with somebody about it last night about Oh,
- 9:46Speaker 1: I know it was my sushi guy parents.
- 9:48Speaker 3: I'm like, who was I talking about this with?
- 9:50Speaker 1: But we were talking about the six man rotation possibility
- 9:54Speaker 1: for the Mariners, and I did point this out yesterday.
- 9:57Speaker 1: It's kind of funny that we have an eight teen
- 10:00Speaker 1: and twenty baseball team right now, so we're off to
- 10:02Speaker 1: a much worse start than we all had bargained for.
- 10:07Speaker 1: We have a superstar catcher who's hitting one seventy. We
- 10:12Speaker 1: are the worst defense in Major League Baseball right now.
- 10:16Speaker 1: We have the third worst batting average with runners in
- 10:20Speaker 1: scoring position, which seems to happen every year before the
- 10:23Speaker 1: month of August to the Seattle Mariners. I mean, we've
- 10:27Speaker 1: got some problems. We got some issues. We've got a
- 10:29Speaker 1: shortstop that can't move to his left and right.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Yeah, that lists is pretty long.
- 10:33Speaker 1: It's a pretty long list of problems that the Mariners have.
- 10:37Speaker 1: And yet the big topic when it comes to the Mariners,
- 10:41Speaker 1: the one that you can't go anywhere without discussing. The
- 10:43Speaker 1: one that we've brought up over and over has to
- 10:45Speaker 1: do with the team strength. This is the big issue
- 10:49Speaker 1: that we have. It has to do with the strength
- 10:52Speaker 1: of the club, which undoubtedly is our starting pitching. And
- 10:56Speaker 1: so we have new information guards to how this thing's
- 11:01Speaker 1: going to be handled. And I don't I'm going to
- 11:06Speaker 1: hes state to call it information. I'm going to call
- 11:08Speaker 1: it some reporting that has been done that has led
- 11:12Speaker 1: to even further speculation. Okay, and I'll say this, I
- 11:17Speaker 1: don't like what I'm hearing. Oh and I don't know
- 11:20Speaker 1: if those listening are going to like what I'm about
- 11:23Speaker 1: to report. But according to our friend Adam Jude, that
- 11:27Speaker 1: Bryce Miller is done with his rehab, that what they
- 11:31Speaker 1: saw on Everett was enough. I think they have been
- 11:34Speaker 1: trying to buy a little bit of time, but that
- 11:36Speaker 1: Bryce Miller is probably not going to have one more
- 11:40Speaker 1: rehab outing in Tacoma. Still a chance. We still don't
- 11:43Speaker 1: know anything officially, but it looks like what they saw
- 11:45Speaker 1: on Everett two days ago that they believe Bryce is
- 11:48Speaker 1: ready to be activated.
- 11:50Speaker 3: And so.
- 11:52Speaker 1: We have a five man rotation. Most teams do with
- 11:55Speaker 1: their starting pitchers, and suddenly we have six starting pitchers
- 12:00Speaker 1: because Emerson Hancock. It's not so easily dismissed this time.
- 12:05Speaker 1: It's not so obvious that Emerson's the guy on the
- 12:08Speaker 1: outside looking in. As a matter of fact, it's just
- 12:11Speaker 1: the opposite. Emerson looks the best of all of the
- 12:15Speaker 1: six starting pitchers, and yet typically the Mariners have a
- 12:20Speaker 1: five man rotation. Again, most MLB teams do. So what
- 12:24Speaker 1: are we going to do? We now have six healthy
- 12:27Speaker 1: starting pitchers, five of you know what, they say, you
- 12:30Speaker 1: can't lose your spot because of an injury.
- 12:34Speaker 3: I don't know one hundred percent believe in that, but
- 12:37Speaker 3: I do get it. I get that. I do believe
- 12:39Speaker 3: in the gist of that.
- 12:41Speaker 1: So does Bryce just resume his spot in the starting
- 12:46Speaker 1: rotation even though it has been typically the fifth man
- 12:50Speaker 1: in the rotation? Do you take Luis Castillo out of
- 12:54Speaker 1: the rotation because of the five currently in the Mariners rotation,
- 12:57Speaker 1: he is undoubtedly the one that has been the worst
- 13:00Speaker 1: yeah so far this season. Or do you take Emerson
- 13:04Speaker 1: Hancock out of the rotation because of that rule of Hey,
- 13:10Speaker 1: you don't lose your spot in the starting lineup because
- 13:13Speaker 1: of injuries. And now everybody's healthy again, and because Emerson
- 13:17Speaker 1: had had a little experience in the bullpen a year ago.
- 13:21Speaker 1: The other possibility is to go to a six man
- 13:24Speaker 1: rotation and let all six guys just form a new rotation.
- 13:30Speaker 1: There have been a lot of people that kind of
- 13:32Speaker 1: liked that idea, including Ryan Healy, who knows a thing
- 13:35Speaker 1: or two about baseball. A lot of people hate that idea,
- 13:38Speaker 1: including Bill Krueger, who knows a thing or two about
- 13:41Speaker 1: pitching in Major League Baseball. He doesn't think that that's
- 13:44Speaker 1: the way to go. I don't think that's the way
- 13:46Speaker 1: to go either, because I think you possibly bring harm
- 13:49Speaker 1: to all six of your guys by not keeping them
- 13:54Speaker 1: in their rhythm, their rotation, their team that they are
- 14:01Speaker 1: such slaves to in the modern day.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:04Speaker 1: I mean we've pointed it out before. Give Logan Gilbert
- 14:08Speaker 1: an our rain delay, and you might as well give
- 14:10Speaker 1: up on Logan Gilbert.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Yeah you, yes, loss.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I don't know why that is, but I think it's
- 14:17Speaker 1: because they're so strict with their routine, and so do
- 14:21Speaker 1: you risk getting all six guys out of their routine,
- 14:25Speaker 1: especially when three of them are pitching so damn well? Okay,
- 14:30Speaker 1: so that's that's the landscape. That's the conversation. And we've
- 14:34Speaker 1: been having it now for a couple of weeks, maybe
- 14:37Speaker 1: more than a couple of weeks, and it's all because
- 14:39Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock has become such a damn good pitcher. He
- 14:43Speaker 1: just looks fantastic. He just looks like the real deal.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Whatever he picked up in the off season. Pete Woodworth
- 14:49Speaker 1: just told me to my face a couple of days ago, Yeah,
- 14:51Speaker 1: some things have changed. He is throwing harder, That armslot
- 14:54Speaker 1: has worked, he's added a sweeper. But he also told
- 14:57Speaker 1: me the main ingredient is that he has the confidence.
- 15:01Speaker 1: He now believes that he belongs and he is showing
- 15:04Speaker 1: that pitch after pitch. There is one guy, one guy
- 15:08Speaker 1: in all of the world, that has struck out fourteen
- 15:12Speaker 1: or more batters in a Major League Baseball game this year,
- 15:15Speaker 1: and his name is Emerson Hancock. So why then do
- 15:19Speaker 1: I have to hear a report from our friend Adam
- 15:22Speaker 1: Jude suggesting that it is on the table that Emerson
- 15:26Speaker 1: Hancock will be removed from the starting rotation.
- 15:29Speaker 4: I mean, I would legit be angry if that happens,
- 15:33Speaker 4: and I have a lot of faith in what this
- 15:35Speaker 4: organization does, especially most part, especially with pitching.
- 15:39Speaker 2: I will be pissed, like straight up pissed.
- 15:43Speaker 4: There's no there's nothing you could do looking at what
- 15:46Speaker 4: has happened thus far in the season that you could
- 15:50Speaker 4: have an excuse or reasoning for why that would happen.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the only thing would.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Be because we believe in our five and we don't
- 16:03Speaker 1: think that you should lose your spot in the starting
- 16:06Speaker 1: rotation because of injury.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Fine, I don't bet.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Bryce Miller should lose a spot because of injury either.
- 16:11Speaker 3: How about performance?
- 16:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, are we really going as far as
- 16:17Speaker 1: protecting If Luis Castillo is such a great guy, then
- 16:22Speaker 1: can he not look that he has a six and
- 16:25Speaker 1: a half ERA and Hancock has a two.
- 16:27Speaker 3: And a half RA and not see that? Okay?
- 16:31Speaker 1: I mean it's going to be an uncomfortable conversation with
- 16:34Speaker 1: whomver you have that conversation with. So we're just going
- 16:38Speaker 1: to do it to Emerson again.
- 16:40Speaker 3: I mean, we get it.
- 16:41Speaker 1: In the past, Emerson wasn't getting the job done, but
- 16:44Speaker 1: he's getting the job done this year. And the idea
- 16:47Speaker 1: that you're going to take out your most effective starting
- 16:50Speaker 1: pitcher to this point in the season, just because of tenure,
- 16:54Speaker 1: just because one makes a higher salary, just because you
- 16:58Speaker 1: don't want to have a difficult converse station with a
- 17:01Speaker 1: more seasoned veteran. You'd rather have it with the guy
- 17:05Speaker 1: that has been pulled back and forth from.
- 17:07Speaker 3: The miners then a puppet.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and I understand why he wasn't performing,
- 17:13Speaker 1: but I'm with you.
- 17:15Speaker 3: I want Emerson to stay.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I think that it's without question that Emerson Hancock has
- 17:21Speaker 1: to stay.
- 17:22Speaker 3: This is to me a decision of.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Six man, Yeah, Miller comes back in the bullpen to
- 17:31Speaker 1: build him up a little further, or Castill moves to
- 17:34Speaker 1: the bullpen. In order, I would choose Castillo moves to
- 17:38Speaker 1: the bullpen, Miller comes back to the bullpen, and six
- 17:44Speaker 1: man rotation in that order. Notice Emerson Hancock leaving the
- 17:49Speaker 1: rotation isn't a part and there's not a fourth option, No, nor.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Should there be. I mean, you know it can be
- 17:56Speaker 2: even just as simple.
- 17:57Speaker 4: I know that stats obviously don't tell everything, but you've
- 18:00Speaker 4: got Luis Castillo's given up the most hits, well not
- 18:04Speaker 4: the most, but he's given up forty four. Emerson Hancock
- 18:06Speaker 4: has given up thirty four. Emerson Hancock has the least
- 18:09Speaker 4: earned runs of all of the starting pitchers. Luis Castillo
- 18:12Speaker 4: has the most earn runs of all of the starting pictures.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Emerson Hancock has the most strikeouts of all of the
- 18:18Speaker 4: starting pitchers. Luis Castillo has the least strikeouts of all
- 18:22Speaker 4: of the starting pictures.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Night and day so far this season is night and day.
- 18:25Speaker 4: Yes, so what could you possibly look at and say? Yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 4: it almost seems because it's just easy for them, this
- 18:32Speaker 4: just makes sense.
- 18:33Speaker 2: No, do not do this?
- 18:34Speaker 1: Yeah, because Emerson's such a sweet kid. Yeah, he'll let's
- 18:38Speaker 1: rip his heart out just because he's a sweet sweet
- 18:41Speaker 1: I'm getting all fired up. But the idea of this happening.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Now, there is one other piece.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Of information I will share, and I heard this from
- 18:47Speaker 1: Divish on the Puck Podcast that Divish believes that they'll
- 18:54Speaker 1: stay with the five man rotation and that you're going
- 18:57Speaker 1: to kind of have a handcuff situation. In other words, Miller,
- 19:02Speaker 1: it'll be a five man rotation. Miller will work out
- 19:05Speaker 1: of the bullpen, potentially not reporting this as fact, Miller,
- 19:09Speaker 1: but the idea is that one starts and goes four
- 19:13Speaker 1: and then the.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Other pitches four. Yeah, so that's an idea.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Okay, you know from the standpoint of still trying to
- 19:22Speaker 1: ramp up Miller. Yeah, still trying to protect Luis from
- 19:27Speaker 1: maybe his own ineffectiveness.
- 19:29Speaker 3: So far this season.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and also it might give you an opportunity to
- 19:34Speaker 1: save your bullpen for an entire day. I mean, if
- 19:37Speaker 1: you went four and five, five and four with those
- 19:40Speaker 1: two guys, imagine the benefit of being able to arrest
- 19:43Speaker 1: the entire bullpen. Problem is are you going to be
- 19:47Speaker 1: able to prepare for that? I mean, what if Castillo's
- 19:50Speaker 1: on a roll or Miller's on a roll, So they
- 19:53Speaker 1: might do that as well, And they could even flip flop,
- 19:55Speaker 1: like Miller starts the next time and Castillo comes out
- 19:58Speaker 1: of the bullpen. So it's not a foregone conclusion that
- 20:01Speaker 1: that's where they're at. It just was reported by Adam
- 20:05Speaker 1: Jude that it is part of the conversation that Hancock
- 20:09Speaker 1: could be removed and put back into the bullpen.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Which obviously Ashley is fired up about.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Well, we're going to talk about it more as the
- 20:20Speaker 1: show goes on. As a matter of fact, we have
- 20:22Speaker 1: a pretty important guest today. Let's find out what's on tap?
- 20:28Speaker 3: What's on tap, what's on tap.
- 20:31Speaker 1: The pitching coach for the Seattle Mariners, Pete Woodworth, is
- 20:34Speaker 1: going to join us today live at seven o five
- 20:36Speaker 1: from Chicago, Illinois, where the team is getting ready to
- 20:39Speaker 1: take on the White Sox.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Now, Pete's got to play the game a little bit.
- 20:42Speaker 1: I don't know how many clear cut answers we're going
- 20:44Speaker 1: to get from him, but we'll certainly ask the questions
- 20:48Speaker 1: and try to make it easy on him, try to
- 20:50Speaker 1: not get him in trouble with his bosses. But we'll
- 20:54Speaker 1: get something. We'll get something from Pete and hopefully make
- 20:58Speaker 1: him laugh a couple times as well. So we'll do
- 21:00Speaker 1: that today at seven oh five. The Mariners are in
- 21:02Speaker 1: Chicago South Side to take on the White Sox, who
- 21:05Speaker 1: are a little bit better this year than they've been
- 21:07Speaker 1: the last three seasons. Then again, they've lost one hundred
- 21:10Speaker 1: games three years in a row, but this year just
- 21:13Speaker 1: a half game back of the Mariners. Sean Berk starts
- 21:15Speaker 1: for them. He's got a two point seven to two era.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock will go for us, and there is a
- 21:22Speaker 1: chance it's his last.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Start for a while. As much as that might bother you,
- 21:27Speaker 3: the NBA playoffs.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Are obviously continuing, but the WNBA regular season tips off tonight.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Opening Night's going to take place. It starts at four o'clock.
- 21:38Speaker 1: It'll be the Connecticut Sun taking on the New York Liberty.
- 21:41Speaker 1: The Storm will host the Golden State Valkyries today, so
- 21:45Speaker 1: they will play on the opening night docket. Only three
- 21:48Speaker 1: games this evening, and the Storm are the only team
- 21:51Speaker 1: that will have the stage to themselves, along with Golden State,
- 21:54Speaker 1: of course at seven o'clock, and that will be played
- 21:56Speaker 1: here in Seattle. Tomorrow will be Page Becker's versus Caitlin
- 22:00Speaker 1: Clark Dallas at Indiana at ten am. That's the showcase
- 22:05Speaker 1: game of the opening weekend. In the WNBA NBA Playoffs
- 22:09Speaker 1: last night, both the Pistons and the Oklahoma City Thunder
- 22:12Speaker 1: rolled easily to their victories last night. They're up two
- 22:16Speaker 1: to zero in the series. Tonight, New York at Philadelphia
- 22:19Speaker 1: and San Antonio at Minnesota Spurs Wolves are the only
- 22:23Speaker 1: series that right now is even at a game a piece.
- 22:27Speaker 1: The NCAA tournament has officially expanded to seventy six. Teams
- 22:31Speaker 1: will grouse about that later on in the show. And
- 22:33Speaker 1: in the National Football League, the refs, I don't know
- 22:36Speaker 1: if they voted last night. I don't see any information
- 22:38Speaker 1: they were supposed to vote last night to ratify their
- 22:41Speaker 1: new collective bargaining agreement, but we I've not seen any
- 22:45Speaker 1: verification that that came through, so who knows. Well, we've
- 22:49Speaker 1: got that story going on. And of course Aaron Rodgers
- 22:52Speaker 1: is getting ready to visit Pittsburgh this weekend.
- 22:55Speaker 3: But knowing him, he might just be taking a tour
- 22:57Speaker 3: of the Heinz ketchup. Fact.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure what it is.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and he doesn't even stop by the facility.
- 23:03Speaker 1: So we will, on the other side, talk more about
- 23:07Speaker 1: this as though we again have another episode of O PQ.
- 23:12Speaker 1: That's right, we are a little interested in other people's
- 23:14Speaker 1: quarterbacks right here on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety
- 23:17Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Got a great situation here, and see at all.
- 23:21Speaker 1: I mean, we have laughed at the rest of the
- 23:24Speaker 1: football community.
- 23:25Speaker 3: We want the world championship with a.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Guy that everybody discarded, and it looks like he's going
- 23:30Speaker 1: to keep getting better, and yet you look at us,
- 23:34Speaker 1: so petty still want to talk about other people's quarterback
- 23:37Speaker 1: And it's fun, it.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Really is, especially when there's such messes out there.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Yeah, and our situation is so awesome. Yeah, no pressures here,
- 23:50Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but do it again, yeah please? Yeah, because
- 23:52Speaker 1: I don't want to spend all this time defending you
- 23:55Speaker 1: and then you just crap the bed.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Now you're not going to say him, we have faith
- 23:57Speaker 2: in you.
- 23:58Speaker 3: I don yep. All right, Well let's talk about OPQ.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Yeah I know you. Yeah, let's talk about Aaron Rodgers.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Looks like he's visiting Pittsburgh.
- 24:07Speaker 1: And I wasn't even intending to kind of make that comment,
- 24:11Speaker 1: but would that not be hilarious and would you not
- 24:14Speaker 1: put it past them that Aaron Rodgers just being Aaron Rodgers,
- 24:18Speaker 1: has this big story about he's going to visit Pittsburgh
- 24:21Speaker 1: this weekend, and all he does is just go do
- 24:23Speaker 1: Pittsburgh things and never even goes by the Steelers facility,
- 24:27Speaker 1: like checks out a Pirates game.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, you know, I've always wanted to go
- 24:30Speaker 2: past one of the steel factories.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Yeah, get a tour, put on a hard hat.
- 24:35Speaker 4: I want to put on one of those like metal
- 24:37Speaker 4: the ones they wear when they're soldering soldering helmet.
- 24:41Speaker 1: RFK wants me to check, really the value of this,
- 24:44Speaker 1: the nutritional value of this ketchup they've been selling.
- 24:47Speaker 3: I hear they're putting too much sugar in it. Uh huh. Yeah,
- 24:49Speaker 3: So I'd like to go to the Hinds factory and
- 24:52Speaker 3: just you.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Know, thinky in it.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Yeah, do a little investigative research for my friend Bob. Yeah,
- 24:58Speaker 1: wouldn't that be hilarious? And he never even goes to
- 25:01Speaker 1: see the Steelers.
- 25:02Speaker 2: I would not put it past him.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Of all the people.
- 25:05Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to go to the Steelers and
- 25:07Speaker 1: I think he's going to sign. But if there is
- 25:09Speaker 1: one person that would do that in all of professional sports,
- 25:12Speaker 1: it is Aaron Rodgers. Yes, And then he would be
- 25:14Speaker 1: asked about like, I don't know what the big deal is.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wanted to go. I like Pittsburgh. I
- 25:18Speaker 2: never got to just tour the city when I was there.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Man, can't love ketchup.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Just wanted to check it out.
- 25:24Speaker 3: R E L A X I love Ketchup.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 3: I think he's going to be a Steeler at the
- 25:32Speaker 3: end of the weekend.
- 25:34Speaker 1: It sounds like Mike McCarthy and the Steelers this time,
- 25:36Speaker 1: we kind of want an answer now, we don't want
- 25:38Speaker 1: this to go any further, and so I'm sure that
- 25:41Speaker 1: that's what this little visit is all about. But as
- 25:44Speaker 1: we discussed on the last edition of OPQ Aaron Rodgers,
- 25:49Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past him either, that he's going
- 25:52Speaker 1: there to tell them you don't love me enough. I mean,
- 25:55Speaker 1: I've heard Cam Hayward say it publicly, and I heard JJ,
- 25:59Speaker 1: excuse me, TJ say it publicly, but I haven't had
- 26:03Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy go go out there on this just open.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Up and gush about me about how great I am,
- 26:09Speaker 4: talk about how excited he is to be reunited with me.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Cardinals are gushing about me. Yeah, they're sending me flowers
- 26:15Speaker 1: and chocolates. And my best friend works there, and I
- 26:19Speaker 1: know he's terrible at what he does, but he tells
- 26:21Speaker 1: me he loves me. Uh So, maybe he's going there
- 26:24Speaker 1: to tell them I'm going to be an Arizona Cardinal.
- 26:26Speaker 1: I think they got some weapons, and I don't really
- 26:28Speaker 1: care if I win. I just want to be told
- 26:31Speaker 1: that I'm loved.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Who doesn't.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Yeah, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen.
- 26:34Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to go to Pittsburgh, And
- 26:36Speaker 1: so we've taken a couple of cheap shots at Aaron Rodgers.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Yeah, let me have a let me bring.
- 26:42Speaker 1: It back to reality, because we do have to give
- 26:45Speaker 1: him some credit to number one. Turns out he did
- 26:47Speaker 1: have something left in the tank. I mean, it wasn't
- 26:50Speaker 1: long ago we were discussing Aaron Rodgers to the Seahawks,
- 26:54Speaker 1: and thank goodness, it was Sam Darnold, right, we benefited
- 26:57Speaker 1: from that.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 26:59Speaker 1: That's it it. Obviously he obviously had a little bit
- 27:03Speaker 1: left in the tank.
- 27:03Speaker 3: He was good. He was good for the Steelers this year.
- 27:06Speaker 1: He was certainly top half of the National Football League
- 27:09Speaker 1: of quarterbacks this past season.
- 27:11Speaker 3: And another compliment to Aaron.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Rodgers, he won over another clubhouse. Now, say what you
- 27:18Speaker 1: want about him. You might think that he's arrogant. You
- 27:22Speaker 1: might think that he's washed up and doesn't realize it.
- 27:25Speaker 1: You might think he's not entirely focused. But every teammate
- 27:30Speaker 1: he has worships him. And so there's obviously some really
- 27:36Speaker 1: great stuff about Aaron Rodgers. The player, the leader, and
- 27:41Speaker 1: the person win every clubhouse fawns over. I mean, I've
- 27:46Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. He'll get done with the
- 27:48Speaker 1: game and he'll have a line of people who were
- 27:52Speaker 1: teammates with him in the past that have to say
- 27:54Speaker 1: low and have to give him props and have to
- 27:58Speaker 1: love on him. There are obviously some very awesome qualities
- 28:03Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers the player, leader, and person, and I
- 28:06Speaker 1: think that maybe when we take our cheap shots, we
- 28:09Speaker 1: don't shed that light as frequently as we should.
- 28:13Speaker 2: No, no, we definitely don't.
- 28:14Speaker 4: But it's just more fun to take the cheap shots because.
- 28:18Speaker 2: He sets himself up for it. Yeah, and so he's different.
- 28:22Speaker 4: He's he's a different cat exactly. So it's I mean,
- 28:25Speaker 4: it is just you know, if he was our quarterback,
- 28:28Speaker 4: we'd love the well, I don't know if I would
- 28:30Speaker 4: love those quirks.
- 28:32Speaker 3: But you know, I don't think he would.
- 28:34Speaker 4: No, But I'll say this, if I'd grown up with
- 28:36Speaker 4: him as our quarterback, you know, if he'd been here
- 28:38Speaker 4: instead of in Green Bay, I would defend the crap
- 28:41Speaker 4: out of him. Yeah, but I didn't, and I don't
- 28:44Speaker 4: need to defend the crap out of him. Everyone knows
- 28:46Speaker 4: he's a good football player. Everyone knows he's going to
- 28:48Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame. I mean, you're not gonna ever.
- 28:50Speaker 4: People don't need be told how great he is. But yeah,
- 28:54Speaker 4: he I feel like in the last couple of years,
- 28:57Speaker 4: it's been more about the Aaron Rodgers circus than anything else.
- 29:00Speaker 3: And yet he takes the circus to Pittsburgh and they
- 29:02Speaker 3: all want them back.
- 29:03Speaker 2: And I would not have expected that. The dealt with it.
- 29:05Speaker 1: And a year ago Cam Hayward was like sending out
- 29:08Speaker 1: messages of either you want to be us or not. Yeah,
- 29:11Speaker 1: this year he's like, please come back. So I mean
- 29:14Speaker 1: even in a year he won over a future Hall
- 29:17Speaker 1: of Famer who sort of had a hardened stance twelve
- 29:20Speaker 1: months ago about Aaron Rodgers and seemed to be frustrated
- 29:23Speaker 1: with him making such a big deal out of himself.
- 29:25Speaker 1: And now he's leading the parade to try to get
- 29:28Speaker 1: him back. So obviously some great qualities about Rogers, no doubt.
- 29:32Speaker 1: And I think he will end up with the Steelers.
- 29:34Speaker 1: As for the Cardinals, that should leave them with Brissett, Gardner,
- 29:38Speaker 1: Minshew and Carson Beck, and I think the closer. I mean,
- 29:42Speaker 1: I wouldn't start the season with Carson Beck, but I'd
- 29:45Speaker 1: have a date circled. I think he needs to start
- 29:48Speaker 1: more games than anybody else. You're in a rebuilding year
- 29:51Speaker 1: and you need to find out if you have anything
- 29:53Speaker 1: in Carson Beck because that might change your process going forward.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Pretty import to find out what you've got in a
- 30:01Speaker 1: young quarterback. Don't pull in Indianapolis Colts. Because that's the
- 30:06Speaker 1: other story in OPQ today, and that is that Anthony Richardson,
- 30:12Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts, has come out
- 30:16Speaker 1: and said, and he didn't have to say this, we're
- 30:18Speaker 1: not even to training camp yet.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson's in a battle for the backup spot here
- 30:23Speaker 3: in Indianapolis.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Like nobody's around here saying that Riley Leonard won't be
- 30:28Speaker 1: our backup and Richardson will be third string. On a
- 30:32Speaker 1: week in which Adam Schefter reports that the Colts are
- 30:37Speaker 1: holding on to Richardson because they didn't like the trade value.
- 30:41Speaker 1: They didn't get the trade like the trade return that
- 30:44Speaker 1: they were getting for him, and they believe that come August,
- 30:50Speaker 1: once a couple of teams might lose quarterbacks to injury,
- 30:53Speaker 1: that if they revisit it, they believe that the trade
- 30:56Speaker 1: value for Richardson will go up. So they're going to
- 30:59Speaker 1: hold on to him and August to see if the
- 31:01Speaker 1: trade value goes up. Well, guess what, bub trade value
- 31:05Speaker 1: doesn't go up when you have a coach announcing he's
- 31:08Speaker 1: not even our backup anymore. Yeah, by he couldn't have
- 31:11Speaker 1: lower trade value. I think you just need to accept that,
- 31:14Speaker 1: get him off your roster and take the loss, take
- 31:18Speaker 1: the L. And frankly, you did this a really big l.
- 31:21Speaker 1: You took him with the fourth overall pick. You knew
- 31:24Speaker 1: you were drafting a project. You knew you were drafting
- 31:28Speaker 1: somebody that wasn't exactly Peyton Manning all about about football.
- 31:33Speaker 3: And consumed by it.
- 31:34Speaker 1: I mean you were gonna have to be patient with
- 31:36Speaker 1: him and his mental approach to the game and his
- 31:41Speaker 1: physical approach to the game. You knew you had a
- 31:45Speaker 1: phenomenal athlete, yes, and you decided we're going to take
- 31:49Speaker 1: a couple of years' hits because we think we can
- 31:52Speaker 1: develop him into something special. And then the moment you
- 31:54Speaker 1: were disappointed with him, you abandoned him entirely. Yeah, it
- 31:58Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense.
- 31:59Speaker 4: What's no, it's on them for sure, because he's the
- 32:04Speaker 4: one that I mean, everything they knew, every they knew
- 32:07Speaker 4: everything there was to know about him, right, it was
- 32:08Speaker 4: all out there. His athleticism, but his lack of football
- 32:12Speaker 4: kind of experience, all of it.
- 32:15Speaker 2: So this is on them that they decided, well, maybe
- 32:19Speaker 2: we don't want this project now.
- 32:20Speaker 4: And now the way they're doing it now to have
- 32:23Speaker 4: just tanked his trade value, I mean they're just bungling
- 32:26Speaker 4: it from start to finish.
- 32:27Speaker 1: There was an incident in which Richardson, and I think
- 32:30Speaker 1: most football fans remember it, and it was unforgivable.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Yes it was.
- 32:35Speaker 1: He took himself out of a game a quarterback. I've
- 32:37Speaker 1: never seen it before, and you would think that lesson
- 32:40Speaker 1: would have been learned in college or high school.
- 32:42Speaker 3: I mean, you don't even see high school quarterbacks do this.
- 32:45Speaker 3: I'm tired, I need a blow.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he took himself out of a game to catch
- 32:49Speaker 1: his breath, and so yes, there was an element of
- 32:55Speaker 1: this guy can't lead, But you also knew exactly what
- 33:01Speaker 1: you were getting and you.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Were all fourth overall pick.
- 33:06Speaker 3: He's still only twenty three.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Years old, and believe it or not, even with that incident,
- 33:12Speaker 1: on obvious he joined a bad team. If you're picking
- 33:15Speaker 1: fourth overall, you've joined a bad team. And he has
- 33:19Speaker 1: an eight and seven career record. He has an over
- 33:21Speaker 1: five hundred record with the Indianapolis Colts. So it wasn't
- 33:25Speaker 1: all bad, and I get it. I don't think he's
- 33:28Speaker 1: going to be a starting quarterback in the NFL ever
- 33:31Speaker 1: again either. But how on earth are you driving such
- 33:35Speaker 1: a hard bargain? Take the loss, get rid of him
- 33:39Speaker 1: for whatever you can, and go forward with Daniel Jones
- 33:43Speaker 1: and Riley Leonard. I mean, what are we doing sitting
- 33:47Speaker 1: around keeping Anthony Richardson around for when you have been
- 33:51Speaker 1: so blatantly disrespectful toward the young man ever since he
- 33:56Speaker 1: took himself out of that football game.
- 33:58Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you get if you hang on too
- 33:59Speaker 4: him training camp hoping that another team loses their quarterback
- 34:03Speaker 4: and wants him, guess what, They're just gonna wait till
- 34:06Speaker 4: after training camp when you cut him finally, and then
- 34:09Speaker 4: they'll pick him up because they're not gonna have they're
- 34:10Speaker 4: not gonna bother trading, or they're gonna give you something
- 34:12Speaker 4: that isn't even worth that you'll probably end up cutting.
- 34:15Speaker 2: I mean, there's no point.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Well anyway, that's other people's quarterback problem.
- 34:20Speaker 2: It's not ours.
- 34:21Speaker 3: No, Yeah, smooth sailing around here.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Quarterback waters are pretty still and placid and lovely and beautiful.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Oh hey, Sam, congrats on the marriage.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Yeah, but you keep doing you other people's quarterbacks. I
- 34:37Speaker 1: got a thing or two to say about them, all right.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Coming up next on the program A Poll Sports Radio
- 34:45Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ r f M. The Song
- 34:47Speaker 1: of the Siren.
- 34:48Speaker 3: It is just whispering in your ear at Talela Brasort Casino.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Your dreams, well, well, yeah, you can DraftKings, sports book
- 35:13Speaker 1: it up, you can play the tables, you can drink,
- 35:16Speaker 1: you can eat, restaurants all over the place.
- 35:17Speaker 3: I'm gonna try every single one of them.
- 35:20Speaker 1: And then you know, if you get a little over
- 35:23Speaker 1: the top, a little crazy, tonight, just stay tonight.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Works really well.
- 35:27Speaker 1: Stuff shot all right, that's right, coming up headlines at
- 35:30Speaker 1: the top of the hour.
- 35:30Speaker 3: We also will talk with the pitching coach of the Mariners.
- 35:33Speaker 1: I hope he knows I've got to ask him these
- 35:35Speaker 1: questions about Emerson Hancock, Bryce Miller, Luis Castilla, what the
- 35:39Speaker 1: Mariners intend to do with their rotation now that it
- 35:42Speaker 1: is coming to a boiling point. Bryce Miller looks like
- 35:45Speaker 1: he has done with his rehab work and is ready
- 35:48Speaker 1: to rejoin the roster in whatever form that might look like.
- 35:53Speaker 1: And so we put up a pole. We've got a pole, everybody,
- 35:57Speaker 1: And so we started a segment called SUP and that
- 36:02Speaker 1: is you asking the show questions.
- 36:05Speaker 3: So far has just been Ashley and I because Buggy's
- 36:07Speaker 3: never been here for it.
- 36:08Speaker 1: But Sup, Ashley, Sup, Chuck, and so we've been doing
- 36:11Speaker 1: this once a week. Will we take your questions? And
- 36:14Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to piggyback that with SUP with
- 36:17Speaker 1: you where we ask you a question. And so we
- 36:21Speaker 1: have a poll up to get your thoughts on this
- 36:24Speaker 1: that we will go over the results coming up at
- 36:26Speaker 1: eight forty five. And I also want to get your
- 36:28Speaker 1: texts on it at four nine five one that we
- 36:31Speaker 1: can go over a little bit later on in the
- 36:33Speaker 1: show as well. But the idea is, what do you
- 36:36Speaker 1: want to do? What do you want the Mariners to
- 36:38Speaker 1: do with this starting rotation? Great problem to have. We
- 36:42Speaker 1: have too many starting pitchers. Most organizations can't even find
- 36:45Speaker 1: a third good starting pitcher. We've got seven of them.
- 36:48Speaker 1: But for right now, Kate Anderson is we can just
- 36:51Speaker 1: keep developing him at a really medium pace down in
- 36:55Speaker 1: Double A, Arkansas. But Bryce Miller's ready and it's going
- 36:59Speaker 1: to crawl cause a numbers crunch.
- 37:01Speaker 3: So what would you do?
- 37:03Speaker 1: Bryce Miller to the pen, Luis Castillo to the pen,
- 37:06Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock to the pen, which Adam Dude reported yesterday,
- 37:09Speaker 1: is not out of the question, or do you just
- 37:12Speaker 1: go full six man rotation. So go ahead and answer
- 37:15Speaker 1: our poll and send us a text giving us your
- 37:18Speaker 1: thoughts on that. I would add one other thing, and
- 37:20Speaker 1: this is not going to the pole. Yeah, but I
- 37:22Speaker 1: also mentioned at six o'clock the thing that Ryan Divish
- 37:26Speaker 1: brought up on Puck's podcast, and that was that maybe
- 37:29Speaker 1: they as I just said, I'm going to piggyback something,
- 37:33Speaker 1: they might piggyback something. I brought this up last year
- 37:36Speaker 1: with Emerson Hancock, that maybe he could serve a role
- 37:40Speaker 1: as a long reliever where you just go three four
- 37:44Speaker 1: innings with him and you just commit to it. Yeah,
- 37:47Speaker 1: Like just give the bullpen a day off. It's a
- 37:50Speaker 1: built in day off. So when Castillo's turn in the
- 37:54Speaker 1: rotation comes up, the idea would be that maybe it's
- 37:59Speaker 1: Castillo and he pitches for five and then Bryce just
- 38:01Speaker 1: goes a full four and you don't use anybody else.
- 38:05Speaker 1: You just commit to those two or and then the
- 38:08Speaker 1: next time around, Bryce gets the start for five innings
- 38:12Speaker 1: and Castillo pitches four innings out of the bullpen and
- 38:15Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to marry yourself. And it's
- 38:17Speaker 1: not like, Hey, Andres just go play golf today. I mean,
- 38:20Speaker 1: you're still going to keep your bullpen guys. But the
- 38:22Speaker 1: idea in theory being because I think Bryce Miller would
- 38:26Speaker 1: be excellent. He's such a cool customer as a relief pitcher.
- 38:29Speaker 1: I just don't want to. I just want to use
- 38:32Speaker 1: him as a starting pitcher. But if you're using him
- 38:35Speaker 1: like a designated four innings on a night, that might be,
- 38:41Speaker 1: that might be a creative way to solve this. I
- 38:44Speaker 1: just don't want the creative way to solve it to
- 38:46Speaker 1: be the cheap way out.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Emerson.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Bryce can't lose his job because he's been injured, and Luis,
- 38:55Speaker 1: you know, we can't tell the.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Rock he's been demoted to the bullpen, right, So it's.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Got to be you, Bud, even though you're our best.
- 39:01Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's weak, and I think
- 39:04Speaker 1: it's cowardly. Frankly, Hancock has to stay in the rotation.
- 39:08Speaker 1: In my opinion, you might feel differently. That's why we
- 39:11Speaker 1: have the poll up and if you want to expand
- 39:14Speaker 1: on that, do so at four nine four five one
- 39:16Speaker 1: and we'll go.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Over the results at eight o'clock hour today.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
- 39:20Speaker 3: That's right.
- 39:21Speaker 2: I've voted.
- 39:22Speaker 3: That's what's up.
- 39:23Speaker 4: I will say, early results. No one is voting for
- 39:26Speaker 4: Emerson to the I don't think so.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Yeah good.
- 39:30Speaker 1: The only person that is is like Luis Castile's brother
- 39:34Speaker 1: or Luise.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Louise is up early.
- 39:36Speaker 3: I voted for myself.
- 39:38Speaker 2: I wouldn't blame him for that.
- 39:40Speaker 3: All right?
