- 1:20Speaker 2: for details. Emeral Queen Casino Always entertaining. I wish I
- 1:24Speaker 2: could say that about our Mariners. It's been pretty frustrating
- 1:29Speaker 2: here as of late, and Sunday was anything but entertaining,
- 1:33Speaker 2: There's no question about it. But it was nice to
- 1:36Speaker 2: see a complete game last night. I mean, if I
- 1:41Speaker 2: know that baseball players have to have that ability to
- 1:44Speaker 2: turn the page and the next day is a new day,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and they seem to do that last night. Between George
- 1:50Speaker 2: and the six runs of output and Cole Young's fantastic performance,
- 1:54Speaker 2: that was one of the more complete games of the year.
- 1:56Speaker 2: So I will tip my cap to you baseball players,
- 2:00Speaker 2: because you do have an ability to just turn the
- 2:02Speaker 2: page the next day.
- 2:05Speaker 5: It serves you really well when you get to life
- 2:08Speaker 5: after baseball. Just because, as a parent like you, if
- 2:11Speaker 5: you ever get in like an argument with your child
- 2:13Speaker 5: or something, especially if you have a four year old daughters,
- 2:15Speaker 5: very strongly.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Will does a Gemini.
- 2:17Speaker 5: You gotta be really patient and also have the ability
- 2:19Speaker 5: because you can like be in this screaming match and
- 2:23Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, thirty minutes later she comes back,
- 2:25Speaker 5: She's like, hey, daddy, how are you today? You're like what, Like,
- 2:27Speaker 5: how did that happen? So like the time actually gets
- 2:30Speaker 5: condensed down even further. I don't have a night to
- 2:33Speaker 5: sleep it off. I gotta flip the switch within a
- 2:35Speaker 5: thirty minute window.
- 2:36Speaker 2: You're not surprised that I'm a Gemini, then, are you?
- 2:39Speaker 4: I really?
- 2:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I could see that.
- 2:42Speaker 5: I feel like you're in a really quality line of
- 2:45Speaker 5: work for the Gemini to flourish.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Yeah. You mean two persons having two personalities that war
- 2:50Speaker 2: with one another at all times.
- 2:51Speaker 4: You mean that I didn't say. I didn't say that
- 2:53Speaker 4: you did.
- 2:55Speaker 2: That's true. Fits me to a tee.
- 2:58Speaker 5: It's the same guy that jogs to the ball for
- 3:00Speaker 5: exercise and then drinks it off.
- 3:01Speaker 2: So yeah, that's true. That's me, the sweat personality. Well,
- 3:04Speaker 2: at least one of me does that. The the other
- 3:07Speaker 2: one judges him. All right, let's talk about like George,
- 3:14Speaker 2: because kind of almost quietly through all this piggyback thing
- 3:18Speaker 2: where we were starting to wonder should George be piggyback
- 3:21Speaker 2: now He's putting together quality performance after quality performance, and
- 3:26Speaker 2: then last night, after coughing up two runs early, I mean,
- 3:30Speaker 2: he just seemed to hit a new gear. Does George
- 3:33Speaker 2: look locked into you?
- 3:35Speaker 5: He looks settled. He looks like there was some experimentation
- 3:37Speaker 5: that was happening. In the first inning or so. He
- 3:39Speaker 5: was throwing a lot more breaking balls yesterday between the
- 3:42Speaker 5: sweeperd and the knuckle curve. Then knuckle curveball can be
- 3:45Speaker 5: nasty at times when he throws it too many times
- 3:48Speaker 5: in the same at bat, or if he can hang
- 3:50Speaker 5: it too many times in oh count. I believe that
- 3:53Speaker 5: Netto actually took in deep on that pitch. He jumped
- 3:55Speaker 5: on it early and THINKO one one count or so.
- 3:57Speaker 5: But he looked really good, and the stuff has good overall.
- 4:01Speaker 5: Even when I watched him towards the end of May,
- 4:04Speaker 5: I believe he was against the Mets. He lost that
- 4:06Speaker 5: last game after the winning streak was going on. The
- 4:09Speaker 5: stuff was still there, but the location, execution and missing
- 4:12Speaker 5: barrels was the biggest problem. He's also inducing a ton
- 4:15Speaker 5: of ground balls way more than he has in his
- 4:17Speaker 5: entire career and didn't really understand why. And then the
- 4:20Speaker 5: defense wasn't supporting him the way that they can behind him,
- 4:24Speaker 5: so some of those inningspiraled.
- 4:25Speaker 4: But he just looked confident, and I think the quote
- 4:27Speaker 4: that I heard.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Last night was he just got really mad towards the
- 4:30Speaker 5: end of the game, like he had to find a
- 4:33Speaker 5: way to channel that inner anger at the Angels and
- 4:37Speaker 5: make sure they felt it every single pitch, because for
- 4:39Speaker 5: him to grind out through the eighth inning there, which
- 4:41Speaker 5: could have went sideways quickly, I think that was a
- 4:44Speaker 5: big boat of confidence for him to end that game
- 4:46Speaker 5: on well.
- 4:47Speaker 2: And then you got Logan, who's obviously pitching better Saturday.
- 4:50Speaker 2: It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as he
- 4:52Speaker 2: has been pitching. Bryce, I think has graduated from whatever
- 4:58Speaker 2: piggyback purgatory he was stuck in Castillo. Except for that one,
- 5:03Speaker 2: outing has been much better since the piggyback. Brian's been
- 5:07Speaker 2: excellent at home and terrible on the road, which we
- 5:10Speaker 2: can't figure out. And Emerson just continues to I mean,
- 5:13Speaker 2: Emerson's going to be the one guy that's going to
- 5:15Speaker 2: be in the All Star Game. If any of our
- 5:16Speaker 2: starting pitchers make it to the All Star Game, So
- 5:19Speaker 2: what do you do?
- 5:19Speaker 6: Then?
- 5:20Speaker 2: It feels like they're scrapping the piggyback. The six man
- 5:24Speaker 2: rotation is painting Dan into difficulties managing the bullpen. What
- 5:29Speaker 2: do you do then? When you've got all these different variables,
- 5:33Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, you've got six
- 5:35Speaker 2: and maybe seven eight good starting pitchers if you count
- 5:38Speaker 2: Anderson and Sloan and the miners. What should the Mariners do?
- 5:41Speaker 5: As far as you can tell, this luxury that the
- 5:44Speaker 5: Mariners have is turning into an achilles heels. Unfortunately, over
- 5:47Speaker 5: the last few weeks, there's been a specific game where
- 5:51Speaker 5: there are multiple leverage arms that are down that could
- 5:55Speaker 5: be used in those situations, and it's just so tough
- 5:58Speaker 5: for fans to swallow. In my included, when you watch
- 6:01Speaker 5: a game like Sunday unfold that just shouldn't happen. You know,
- 6:04Speaker 5: the lead that they had, the way that the offense
- 6:05Speaker 5: and the starting pitching staff, the way Emerson Hancock grinded
- 6:08Speaker 5: through his start. It wasn't clean by any stretch, but
- 6:12Speaker 5: he was really efficient and consistent as he's been all
- 6:14Speaker 5: season long. It's hard for me to sit here and
- 6:17Speaker 5: labeled a problem outside of those outlier games, and I
- 6:21Speaker 5: guess where my brain goes, Chuck, is if the team
- 6:25Speaker 5: would take care of business in between those games, meaning
- 6:28Speaker 5: all of those games leading up to that.
- 6:30Speaker 4: You know where the bullpen is going to be down.
- 6:32Speaker 5: And let's just say they lost the series because they
- 6:34Speaker 5: lost a game like that, but they took care of
- 6:36Speaker 5: the other two because the offense is really good and
- 6:37Speaker 5: the starting pitching does what the starting pitching does.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Are we even questioning it at this point?
- 6:41Speaker 5: Probably the sum regard because we are just greedy and
- 6:43Speaker 5: we know what this team is capable of on paper,
- 6:46Speaker 5: and we've seen at least one stretch where they were
- 6:49Speaker 5: lights out and every fast of the game hitting home runs,
- 6:51Speaker 5: throwing the ball. Well, I don't know what the solution is, unfortunately,
- 6:55Speaker 5: and quite frankly, I say that with confidence, because I
- 6:57Speaker 5: don't think the Mariners do either. They've been so cool
- 7:00Speaker 5: Wyatt about this pivot out back out of the picky
- 7:02Speaker 5: back because I was looking forward to see what this
- 7:05Speaker 5: you know, picky pack two point zero looked like this
- 7:07Speaker 5: new goal around and then all of a sudden they
- 7:09Speaker 5: pivot off of Gilbert on Saturday, and then they haven't
- 7:12Speaker 5: made any announcement, and the next couple of starters gonna
- 7:14Speaker 5: make their own starts here. I don't know what direction
- 7:16Speaker 5: they're going with. They go back to the sixth man.
- 7:18Speaker 5: We saw what that looked like. Now we saw what
- 7:21Speaker 5: happened there. And the reason Dan's making really hard decisions
- 7:24Speaker 5: is because they only have a couple leverage arms, and
- 7:27Speaker 5: they have a couple arms that are on the el
- 7:29Speaker 5: that could be slotting into those situations. Instead, they gotta
- 7:32Speaker 5: go pull these guys that they're grabbing off waivers and
- 7:34Speaker 5: throw them into the eighth inning and the game unfolds
- 7:37Speaker 5: and Dan Wilson looks like, you know what, and it's
- 7:39Speaker 5: not fun for him, and it's not fun from Mariners fans,
- 7:42Speaker 5: And I don't know at what point the breaking points
- 7:44Speaker 5: gonna be of we can't keep doing this.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I would argue if I push back on that,
- 7:51Speaker 2: and it's only one part of it. I think we
- 7:53Speaker 2: have four leverage arms, and I think that very few
- 7:57Speaker 2: teams do have four leverage arms out of their bull
- 8:00Speaker 2: and Dan should not be struggling this much to try
- 8:03Speaker 2: to make this work. So I've been very critical of
- 8:06Speaker 2: Dan some people. A lot of fans in town want
- 8:09Speaker 2: them out completely. I know that you disagree with that,
- 8:13Speaker 2: or at least I'm pretty sure that you would disagree
- 8:15Speaker 2: with that. I'd be surprised if you agreed with it.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Why would it be a bad idea to move on
- 8:21Speaker 2: from Dan Wilson as a former player that knows how
- 8:24Speaker 2: a locker room in a clubhouse works.
- 8:28Speaker 5: There's so much season left, and I think the teams
- 8:31Speaker 5: that we've seen throughout the Major League Baseball this year
- 8:34Speaker 5: that have parted ways with their manager, some had benefited,
- 8:38Speaker 5: some had not. And I don't think it's the guaranteed solution.
- 8:42Speaker 5: I understand why organizations do it. It's easier to replace
- 8:45Speaker 5: one guy than it is an entire roster. But I
- 8:48Speaker 5: also believe there's so much trust within this organization of
- 8:52Speaker 5: the roster that was constructed throughout the offseason, and they
- 8:54Speaker 5: also haven't seen every single body on that roster healthy
- 8:58Speaker 5: to play together up to this point. There's still some
- 9:00Speaker 5: really big names that are on this IL that haven't
- 9:02Speaker 5: come back yet. We just saw Refsnyder go on the
- 9:05Speaker 5: IL as well, So what does that mean for the future.
- 9:09Speaker 5: There are things that are happening right now in the
- 9:12Speaker 5: middle of the season where the injuries are taking over,
- 9:15Speaker 5: and unfortunately, like in football, the quarterback is gonna take
- 9:18Speaker 5: all the blame. That's Dan Wilson. I'm not gonna sit
- 9:21Speaker 5: here and say fire him a because I think he's
- 9:24Speaker 5: a good communicator with his players, mostly in the clubhouse
- 9:27Speaker 5: outside of the piggyback situation. There's a lot of trust,
- 9:29Speaker 5: a lot of respect, and there's a lot of belief
- 9:31Speaker 5: that's transferred in those players and that's hard to find.
- 9:34Speaker 5: And I also think it's nice to have someone in
- 9:36Speaker 5: leading your group that understands the challenges and is emotionally
- 9:40Speaker 5: tied to this city because he knows the fans want
- 9:43Speaker 5: him gone, but he still loves the fans and still
- 9:44Speaker 5: loves the city more than anything.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Ryan Healy is with us every Tuesday we talk Mariners baseball.
- 9:49Speaker 2: He's not part of Mariners TV and part of our
- 9:52Speaker 2: show every Tuesday here at nine o'clock. This probably didn't
- 9:57Speaker 2: help Dan's case that cal Raley probably is favorite player,
- 10:03Speaker 2: you know, to be honest, said on Sunday. He kind
- 10:07Speaker 2: of questioned the effort, like we're not bringing it three
- 10:09Speaker 2: hours every game. What did you read into that? How
- 10:14Speaker 2: how will the clubhouse react to that to have Cal,
- 10:17Speaker 2: I mean, they don't give out Captain c's, but if
- 10:20Speaker 2: he if you did, he'd get it. And he kind
- 10:23Speaker 2: of called out the team Sunday night for that.
- 10:26Speaker 4: He didn't question the effort.
- 10:28Speaker 5: He set a point blank And what I respected about
- 10:32Speaker 5: Cal in that statement is he pointed the finger a
- 10:35Speaker 5: little bit at every one of like this is a
- 10:37Speaker 5: group effort where a team we win and we lose together.
- 10:39Speaker 5: But then he pointed the thumb and himself, he's like,
- 10:41Speaker 5: and I got to be better, Like listen, this season,
- 10:44Speaker 5: this series, this game is has not been good enough
- 10:47Speaker 5: for anything that I know that I can be in
- 10:49Speaker 5: this game.
- 10:49Speaker 4: And I think that was a statement of.
- 10:51Speaker 5: Like, hey boys, I'm holding you accountable because I'm holding
- 10:54Speaker 5: myself accountable. If I'm not willing to hold myself accountable,
- 10:57Speaker 5: I can't hold you accountable for me.
- 10:59Speaker 4: That's what a leader does.
- 11:00Speaker 5: And then obviously he has an opportunity last night where
- 11:02Speaker 5: you know, the Angels, you know, give the Mariners a
- 11:05Speaker 5: couple extra outs, a couple free bases, and Cal comes
- 11:08Speaker 5: up and you know, second and third, two out spot
- 11:10Speaker 5: and he hits a jam shot flare and it's a
- 11:12Speaker 5: short left center field to score two runs in a
- 11:14Speaker 5: really big spot. That was That was one of the
- 11:16Speaker 5: biggest struggles from the road trip was runner hitting, restorre
- 11:19Speaker 5: runners in scoring position, the situational hitting, and.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Then not hitting home runs.
- 11:22Speaker 5: If your offense can't do one of those three things
- 11:24Speaker 5: really well, you're not gonna win ball baseball game. So
- 11:26Speaker 5: for him to answer his own call the very next
- 11:29Speaker 5: game speaks volumes of the rest of that team, and
- 11:31Speaker 5: that I think how Kirby came out of that game.
- 11:33Speaker 5: But the tunnel in the dugout like they are trying
- 11:37Speaker 5: to find fun within this game field that suck. They
- 11:40Speaker 5: are trying to make this fun and celebrate the moments,
- 11:43Speaker 5: but this game has so much suck within it that
- 11:46Speaker 5: it's really hard to manufacture it when you're losing.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about something that doesn't suck, and that
- 11:52Speaker 2: is dom can Zone. Right now, they are hitting him third.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Cal Rowley's hitting six, then dom Canzone's hitting third on
- 11:59Speaker 2: the twenty six Seattle Mariners. But I don't want to
- 12:02Speaker 2: focus on Cal. I want to focus on the positive part,
- 12:05Speaker 2: just how good he looks. I mean, you brought up
- 12:08Speaker 2: rob Reth Schneyder's name. I brought this up earlier in
- 12:10Speaker 2: the show. I don't know if he's gonna get his
- 12:12Speaker 2: job back. We might have seen rob Reth Schneider play
- 12:14Speaker 2: his last game, and part of that is because I
- 12:17Speaker 2: think dom can zone's and he's screaming from the mountaintops.
- 12:21Speaker 2: I'm an everyday player right now. I have learned my lessons.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I can hit lefties. Put me in the damn lineup,
- 12:27Speaker 2: put me in the middle of the damn order. I'm
- 12:29Speaker 2: going to produce for you. I think we've got an
- 12:32Speaker 2: everyday player in Dom Canzone right now.
- 12:34Speaker 5: Your thoughts How often do I throw numbers at you
- 12:37Speaker 5: on this show, Chuck.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I wouldn't say a lot, but every once in a
- 12:42Speaker 2: while you do. Yeah.
- 12:44Speaker 5: So I have some numbers for you. And I don't
- 12:46Speaker 5: know why this one jumped out of me. And I
- 12:47Speaker 5: was looking on Baseball Reference this morning. In wins this season,
- 12:51Speaker 5: Dom's hitting about three point fifteen.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Loss is hitting about two hundred.
- 12:54Speaker 5: I don't think that's out of the ordinary, but it
- 12:56Speaker 5: tells you how important that player is. The splits against
- 12:59Speaker 5: righty's lefties. His batting average against left handed pitching is
- 13:04Speaker 5: better than the team batting average. Jeez, So for me,
- 13:10Speaker 5: like he he is proving himself worthy. And I think
- 13:14Speaker 5: the right handed batters that have, you know, been profile
- 13:17Speaker 5: to face just left handed pitching, have had a long
- 13:20Speaker 5: enough runway at least for one player to step in
- 13:23Speaker 5: and take these consistent bats. And I think a lot
- 13:25Speaker 5: of us have been raising our hands saying that Luke
- 13:27Speaker 5: Railey deserved this as well. And I know he's battling
- 13:29Speaker 5: some stuff. Is so is dom Dom's hamstring. I think
- 13:32Speaker 5: he heard it in Game one at Pittsburgh, if I
- 13:34Speaker 5: remember correctly, and Nope, he don't want to go into il.
- 13:37Speaker 5: He was like, I'm gonna grad it out, and you
- 13:39Speaker 5: can see him every time he hits a single, he's
- 13:41Speaker 5: almost mad because he's like, God, I wish it could
- 13:43Speaker 5: be on second base, or I wish it has hit
- 13:44Speaker 5: a home run and said, because now I got to
- 13:46Speaker 5: run these bases if my hamstring hurts. But the numbers
- 13:49Speaker 5: are speaking volumes and the quality the bats are are
- 13:51Speaker 5: really improving. And I think something that's taken him to
- 13:54Speaker 5: the next level right now is his ability to use
- 13:57Speaker 5: the opposite field against left handed pitching. He looked like
- 14:02Speaker 5: to me to be a pretty dead poll hitter, but
- 14:03Speaker 5: he has the power to go to all fields. And
- 14:06Speaker 5: he hit a ball early in the series against the
- 14:08Speaker 5: Guardians where he drove a ball at the left center
- 14:10Speaker 5: or the left field wall, and I was like wow,
- 14:13Speaker 5: Like that's a really impressive adjustment that he's been making,
- 14:15Speaker 5: and if he's going to continue to do that, there's
- 14:17Speaker 5: no reason to take him out of the lineup.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I mean, he actually hit pretty well against lefties, he
- 14:22Speaker 2: just didn't hit for power. Like two years ago, he
- 14:24Speaker 2: had I think one hit against lefties the whole season long.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Last year he hit I think two seventy three against lefties,
- 14:31Speaker 2: but were almost all singles. And then now this year,
- 14:35Speaker 2: I mean he turned on one last night. So he's
- 14:37Speaker 2: he's just demanding more playing time, and I don't think
- 14:41Speaker 2: Dan has a choice right now. He's got to put
- 14:42Speaker 2: him in the lineup every day. So then that limits
- 14:45Speaker 2: you to Rayley Roblaze right field platoon for now unless
- 14:50Speaker 2: you make a trade at the trading deadline, and you
- 14:53Speaker 2: still have Brendan Donovan coming back. So all of a sudden,
- 14:56Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna have to start piggybacking players too
- 14:59Speaker 2: before a season. It comes to a clothes Ryan.
- 15:02Speaker 5: The trade deadline is going to be really interesting because
- 15:04Speaker 5: I feel like the front office here and Jerry Depoto
- 15:07Speaker 5: has such a tremendous history of trades, not afraid to
- 15:10Speaker 5: make him in the direction he goes here will be
- 15:12Speaker 5: interesting to observe. And how much shuffling does he do
- 15:16Speaker 5: with the active major league roster? Is it addition by
- 15:19Speaker 5: subtraction or is it just simply addition and then maybe
- 15:22Speaker 5: moving on from some players? He has options, and he
- 15:24Speaker 5: also has a really strong farm system if he wants
- 15:27Speaker 5: to get aggressive with it.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Cole Young every day I think, Man, I slept on
- 15:34Speaker 2: this guy's ceiling, Like I always heard, what a high
- 15:37Speaker 2: floor he has. That power is ridiculous. And he fills
- 15:43Speaker 2: out a jersey one year later, he fills out that
- 15:45Speaker 2: jersey now and he's still just twenty two years old.
- 15:49Speaker 2: What kind of player are we going to be looking
- 15:51Speaker 2: at five years from now in Cole Young? Do you think?
- 16:00Speaker 5: Well, per big Uh Baseball Reference, he's almost a three
- 16:03Speaker 5: war player already this season.
- 16:04Speaker 4: My goodness, I didn't know that.
- 16:06Speaker 6: Wow.
- 16:08Speaker 5: If we're if we're continuing to look at the improvement
- 16:11Speaker 5: that he made in such a small window. And I
- 16:14Speaker 5: think the coolest part about Cole's journey is that April
- 16:17Speaker 5: was great, May stunk, June's been really good. He's showing
- 16:20Speaker 5: the ability to bounce back from those dips that are
- 16:22Speaker 5: just inevitably and inevitably going to happen. But the defense,
- 16:25Speaker 5: I think stands out to me a ton as well,
- 16:28Speaker 5: the professional it bats that he puts together, his ability
- 16:32Speaker 5: to make adjustments on how opposing pitchers are attacking him
- 16:35Speaker 5: in the zone. I honestly think that I hope that
- 16:39Speaker 5: him and Colt emer Center have some conversations because the
- 16:41Speaker 5: league is making adjustments to Colt right now that Cole's
- 16:44Speaker 5: gone through a couple times, and I think they can
- 16:46Speaker 5: really learn from one another and you know, and build
- 16:48Speaker 5: a strong bond through this journey. But I think we're
- 16:51Speaker 5: looking at a multi time All Star over the next
- 16:55Speaker 5: five years. He'll have some years that are better than others,
- 16:58Speaker 5: but if this is the type of player that the
- 17:01Speaker 5: Mariners can pencil in. And I was looking at his
- 17:03Speaker 5: numbers last night, I was like, if I would have
- 17:05Speaker 5: told you on opening Day that Cole Young was gonna
- 17:08Speaker 5: hit two fifty with twenty home runs and twenty five
- 17:11Speaker 5: doubles this year and drive in sixty plus RBIs would
- 17:13Speaker 5: you take that guy, would you put in the line of.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Tam I take him mah Man for sure.
- 17:18Speaker 4: Every day of the week.
- 17:18Speaker 5: And that's the trend that he's on right now, and
- 17:21Speaker 5: I think that there's still more in there. So this
- 17:24Speaker 5: is someone that deserves a lot of recognition and credit
- 17:26Speaker 5: because he is doing his job and some more than
- 17:30Speaker 5: a lot of people expected.
- 17:31Speaker 2: We found out over the weekend that Austin Hedges and
- 17:34Speaker 2: Josh Naylor hate each other. Did you ever have like
- 17:36Speaker 2: a player that you had like a rivalry that you
- 17:39Speaker 2: are not scared to let him know that I don't
- 17:41Speaker 2: like you.
- 17:42Speaker 4: Did you ever have that in your career, not in
- 17:44Speaker 4: the major leagues, but in like high school and college?
- 17:47Speaker 4: Yeah for sure, Yeah, for sure. That's when I was angrier.
- 17:51Speaker 5: I think in like that when you get like into
- 17:54Speaker 5: just professional baseball and the major leagues, like the funnel
- 17:58Speaker 5: just gets so small where you just you know every
- 18:00Speaker 5: one because you've seen him in summer ball or the
- 18:03Speaker 5: minor league somewhere. Like it's it's interesting, but it seems
- 18:06Speaker 5: like there's some uh, there's some unfinished business from former
- 18:10Speaker 5: teammates there that came out and Hedges personal words if
- 18:13Speaker 5: nobody likes you like on it, Like, honestly, nobody likes
- 18:16Speaker 5: you like that felt really personal and I didn't like that.
- 18:19Speaker 2: You didn't like that? All right? All right? Uh well,
- 18:22Speaker 2: why don't you take both your daughters, both personalities out
- 18:27Speaker 2: to ice cream or something like that today?
- 18:30Speaker 5: If you give those if you give those personalities ice cream,
- 18:33Speaker 5: you you make a third.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Unfortunately, he's like shaking his head. No, no, don't throw
- 18:41Speaker 2: that out there the universe.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Don't don't say that. Please.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Maybe when she's ten she can have ice cream again.
- 18:50Speaker 4: She had it last night, so it's not like she's deprived.
- 18:54Speaker 4: She's living the dream.
- 18:56Speaker 2: All right, man, great stuff, Thank you sir. We appreciate it,
- 18:59Speaker 2: and uh we'll bugg it next week.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Can't wait to see you then.
- 19:01Speaker 2: All Right, Ryan Ealley, former Mariner, joining us right here
- 19:04Speaker 2: on the program, soon to be on the Mariner's TV again.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I meant to get the schedule from him. See when
- 19:10Speaker 2: when we are going to hear from Ryan Heay again
- 19:12Speaker 2: during Mariner's broadcast. In the meantime, you can catch him
- 19:16Speaker 2: every Tuesday with us at nine o'clock in his segment
- 19:18Speaker 2: brought to you by The Emerald Queen Casino.
- 19:21Speaker 7: All Right, coming and Dino's Pub and renting.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.
- 19:26Speaker 3: I didn't know if that was still yeah, it's still there. Okay,
- 19:29Speaker 3: all right, all right, I'll update that.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yeah, whoever made this is very slome.
- 19:33Speaker 3: That's just about Emerald Queen.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I believe it is. It really is. So I assumed
- 19:39Speaker 2: he'd had a change, but we haven't. Dino's we love you.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Can't wait to come out there and have there in renting.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Don't ever change.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I want some wings now that now I want
- 19:47Speaker 2: to wait. And tots. They do have greats.
- 19:51Speaker 3: They have really good tots.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Okay, all right, coming up next here on the radio program. Look,
- 19:59Speaker 2: I think I've come along way in a lot of
- 20:01Speaker 2: areas in this particular sport. The man, the USWS have
- 20:07Speaker 2: got to stop. And I think I've got the solution
- 20:10Speaker 2: for unnecessary soccer riving. It's next Sports Radio ninety three
- 20:17Speaker 2: point three KJRFM at three o'clock today. So there still
- 20:21Speaker 2: should be some trades made as people try to get
- 20:24Speaker 2: everything in order, get their stores in order for whatever
- 20:28Speaker 2: money they'll have left over for purchase. But one free
- 20:32Speaker 2: agent that is going to be on the market, Lebron James.
- 20:37Speaker 2: He has informed the Los Angeles Lakers, we can stop
- 20:40Speaker 2: this nonsense about re signing me. I'm going to enter
- 20:43Speaker 2: free agency. You can move on without me. So the
- 20:47Speaker 2: Lebron James run in Los Angeles has come to a close.
- 20:51Speaker 2: And he also did say I'm going to play elsewhere.
- 20:54Speaker 2: There was still this he hadn't confirmed that he was
- 20:56Speaker 2: going to play at all, which I think we all
- 20:59Speaker 2: believe he was going to play, So that means that
- 21:02Speaker 2: he is going to enter free agency. He has also said,
- 21:06Speaker 2: Here's another thing he said in the past is that
- 21:08Speaker 2: I'm not taking no discount. So he's not going to
- 21:11Speaker 2: be one of those veterans that just jumps on a team.
- 21:13Speaker 2: He's going to be paid his market value, which is
- 21:16Speaker 2: still a top twenty player in the game and still
- 21:20Speaker 2: a top two or three, maybe still number one marketable
- 21:24Speaker 2: player in the entire sport. So Lebron James going to
- 21:28Speaker 2: wear another uniform at least one more time in his
- 21:31Speaker 2: illustrious career he has done as a Los Angeles Laker.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Probably doesn't break the hearts of Laker fans. They never
- 21:38Speaker 2: really did like him.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Justin Turner or remember him played for the Mariners.
- 21:42Speaker 8: Ently he already went out and was like, let's go
- 21:44Speaker 8: Lakers with the hands up emoji, Like I think he's excited.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Yeah, but Petro's Papadokis can't stand a yeah. So he
- 21:54Speaker 2: never really was embraced as a Laker. So he's going
- 21:58Speaker 2: to move on and finish his career or elsewhere. The
- 22:01Speaker 2: rumors suggest that it's going to be with the Golden
- 22:03Speaker 2: State Warriors. That's the heavy favorite right now, but I've
- 22:07Speaker 2: also heard maybe Miami. If he did want to check
- 22:10Speaker 2: himself in terms of how much money he needs to make.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Considering that he's a billionaire, the first billionaire basketball player
- 22:17Speaker 2: of all time, he really didn't need the money. But
- 22:20Speaker 2: if he wanted to return to Miami and re and
- 22:24Speaker 2: join up with Yannis, I mean they need help in Miami.
- 22:27Speaker 2: He wasn't enough to get Yannis. But if they had Yiannis,
- 22:31Speaker 2: Lebron and Bam in Miami, oh boy, suddenly you're talking
- 22:35Speaker 2: about something cooking down there in Miami. And then there's
- 22:38Speaker 2: always the possibility of going back to Cleveland Hill, the
- 22:42Speaker 2: third Tour of Cleveland and finishing his career where it started.
- 22:47Speaker 2: And that is a good team that can't become a
- 22:51Speaker 2: great team. What a nice piece that he would be
- 22:56Speaker 2: to add to the Cleveland Cavaliers, So maybe he would
- 22:59Speaker 2: consider a third tour there. But yes, with free agency
- 23:02Speaker 2: starting at three o'clock and a few more trades expected
- 23:05Speaker 2: to happen in the National Basketball Association between now and
- 23:09Speaker 2: three o'clock, one item that will be in the open
- 23:13Speaker 2: market will be Lebron James or so, it does appear
- 23:18Speaker 2: more than likely he's been tampered with and he already
- 23:22Speaker 2: knows who he's going to see.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Oh, yes, I'm sure.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's that.
- 23:26Speaker 8: Yeah, there's that, the integrity of us and then schedule.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and then before we get into what I was
- 23:31Speaker 2: going to talk about, I do want to mention John
- 23:33Speaker 2: Morant as well, because while we're talking basketball, because we
- 23:37Speaker 2: didn't get a lot of time talk about this earlier,
- 23:39Speaker 2: I think it's a worthwhile gamble to bring in John Moran.
- 23:44Speaker 2: If you're Portland. Yeah, I get all the analysts because
- 23:49Speaker 2: I saw in CBS Sports, for example, they gave him
- 23:52Speaker 2: a D minus for that trade, Portland a D minus
- 23:55Speaker 2: for that trade, and gave Memphis a B minus, even
- 23:58Speaker 2: though they admitted Memphis got nothing out of this train.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Just getting rid of John Morant, they thought was worth
- 24:07Speaker 2: was was worth of b mice. And this is a
- 24:09Speaker 2: guy that three years ago people thought was a bona
- 24:14Speaker 2: fide superstar. He was exciting, he played above the rim
- 24:18Speaker 2: and everything else. Well, obviously he's had the off court stuff,
- 24:21Speaker 2: which he still has not really come to grips with.
- 24:25Speaker 2: He still thinks everybody else was wrong and he's right.
- 24:29Speaker 2: So there's that he became a shell of himself the
- 24:32Speaker 2: last couple of years as a player, practically pouting, almost
- 24:35Speaker 2: sabotaging himself and the team in the process. So there's
- 24:40Speaker 2: two strikes against him and then the third strike against him.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Any team that's trying to win a championship cannot have
- 24:46Speaker 2: a guy who weighs who's six foot three and weighs
- 24:49Speaker 2: forty four pounds and just flies into the lane during
- 24:54Speaker 2: the playoffs, gets knocked on his ass every you know,
- 24:57Speaker 2: fifteen times a game and barely gets He gets hurt
- 25:00Speaker 2: every postseason because the game becomes more physical and he
- 25:04Speaker 2: doesn't know any other way to play the game except
- 25:06Speaker 2: to try to jump over people than dunk it. So
- 25:09Speaker 2: he's not going to be valuable to any real contender
- 25:12Speaker 2: unless some major changes. He's obviously got to clean up
- 25:16Speaker 2: what's going on off court, yep. Number two, he's got
- 25:20Speaker 2: to become more of a team player. And number three,
- 25:22Speaker 2: he's got to dedicate himself to his own game. He's
- 25:26Speaker 2: got to become more than just a dunker. Otherwise he's
- 25:29Speaker 2: a detriment on the court. And so that's what we're realizing.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Think about where Jahn Morant was three years ago in
- 25:36Speaker 2: terms of superstardom in the league, and now the Memphis
- 25:41Speaker 2: Grizzlies are just please take him, give us back whatever
- 25:45Speaker 2: you want, just please take him off our hands. That's
- 25:49Speaker 2: what Jahn Morant, at a really young age, still has
- 25:53Speaker 2: declined into. If that's not a wake up call, young man,
- 25:58Speaker 2: then I don't know what is.
- 25:59Speaker 8: I feel like you said enough that should have been
- 26:01Speaker 8: wake up calls and they haven't been.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Well, that's him thinking, oh, well, what do you mean
- 26:06Speaker 2: I can't carry guns around and threaten people.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and on my Instagram.
- 26:10Speaker 2: But now somebody's telling me you're not wanted, telling him
- 26:13Speaker 2: you're not even good as a basketball player anymore. Yeah,
- 26:17Speaker 2: that might be the wake up call now that he's like,
- 26:19Speaker 2: that's all you got for me, and really nobody wanted me, seriously,
- 26:25Speaker 2: nobody wanted me.
- 26:26Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess you could think that that would probably
- 26:28Speaker 8: probably would.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, I.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Want to let you know Talala Persort Casino, it is
- 26:34Speaker 2: waiting for you. Come on out to Talala Persort Casino.
- 26:37Speaker 2: I mean, we've got some World Cup action going on
- 26:39Speaker 2: right now. I'm I like Ivory Coast. I don't think
- 26:43Speaker 2: Norway's going to beat Ivory Coast. Go put some money
- 26:46Speaker 2: on it. Talalap Resort Casino, DraftKings Sportsbook, you can place

- 26:59Speaker 3: I want everything.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we all do really all right, So I think
- 27:03Speaker 2: I've been a pretty good soldier, but a pretty good sport.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Yeah about say that. The World Cup. I think we've
- 27:08Speaker 2: I've had some fun with it. I think we've dedicated
- 27:10Speaker 2: a lot of time too.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I think you've talked more about it than I thought
- 27:13Speaker 3: we would to start.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I've also admitted I'm not going to be able to
- 27:16Speaker 2: catch up. Yeah, I'm not going to provide it analysts
- 27:19Speaker 2: analysis for your sport that you love. That you're now
- 27:22Speaker 2: listening to sports Stark Radio more to try to get
- 27:23Speaker 2: little nuggets of it. I'm not gonna do that for you.
- 27:28Speaker 2: I'm doing that for you the soccer fan, because you
- 27:30Speaker 2: don't want to hear my opinion about a match. We're
- 27:33Speaker 2: bringing experts. Yeah, they're going to weigh in on the matches.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Were going to talk about it like two fools if
- 27:37Speaker 3: we're talking about it.
- 27:38Speaker 2: All right, So I do want, though, I am going
- 27:40Speaker 2: to pick at one scab. And I think I've been
- 27:42Speaker 2: very good about this. I think I've been on my
- 27:44Speaker 2: best behavior. But I watched a little bit of Paraguay
- 27:48Speaker 2: yesterday pull off their big upset, and the moment I
- 27:51Speaker 2: tuned in, there was a Paraguay player who acted like
- 27:56Speaker 2: he was being boiled and acid. I mean it looked
- 28:03Speaker 2: like he was being drawn and quartered and pulled apart
- 28:07Speaker 2: by each of his limbs by a team of Clydesdale's.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Poor guy. Did he have to be taken straight to
- 28:13Speaker 3: the hospital.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Well, I'm like, I'm going to give you the benefit
- 28:16Speaker 2: of the doubt on this buddy. And they came out
- 28:19Speaker 2: and they checked him out and they've sprayed stuff on him,
- 28:22Speaker 2: and then they showed the replay and he didn't turn
- 28:25Speaker 2: an ankle. He didn't get hit in the shin, he
- 28:28Speaker 2: didn't have somebody collapse into his knee. He just got
- 28:32Speaker 2: up ended and was clearly trying to get a yellow card.
- 28:36Speaker 2: I'm just I know soccer fans don't care. I know
- 28:39Speaker 2: what you're saying. It's strategy.
- 28:41Speaker 3: It's stupid.
- 28:42Speaker 2: It's bad strategy. Yes, and we're never really going to
- 28:45Speaker 2: embrace it unless you get rid of this. If you
- 28:48Speaker 2: don't get rid of usw's, which is unnecessary soccer riving,
- 28:54Speaker 2: then I can't give myself fully to it. So here's
- 28:58Speaker 2: my thought. Okay, up on a time playing basketball. I'm
- 29:02Speaker 2: in the eighth grade. We had a brand new coach
- 29:05Speaker 2: midway through the season. I want to impress him. So
- 29:09Speaker 2: I'm you know, at that time, I had like a
- 29:11Speaker 2: mustache and was six foot tall. In the eighth grade,
- 29:13Speaker 2: I was pretty good U And so I'm getting out
- 29:17Speaker 2: on the fast break and I get tripped from behind,
- 29:20Speaker 2: and I and just clumsily somebody trips me from behind.
- 29:24Speaker 2: It wasn't like defense, it wasn't intentional, just clumsily. And
- 29:28Speaker 2: you know I did. I hit the floor hard. I
- 29:30Speaker 2: hit my knees and I hit my elbow, but I
- 29:32Speaker 2: was really truly angry that I had a fast break going,
- 29:36Speaker 2: and that's where I was at.
- 29:39Speaker 3: That turn stopped me.
- 29:40Speaker 2: And he stopped my ability. Plus Stacy Frederick was there
- 29:43Speaker 2: watching and I was trying to impress her. So my
- 29:48Speaker 2: first chance at really like open court, like getting into
- 29:51Speaker 2: a fast break got stripped from me by some clumsy
- 29:53Speaker 2: fool on the other team, and I pounded the floor
- 29:58Speaker 2: like with my fists, and my Coachmrvcruth this may rest
- 30:02Speaker 2: in peace, sat over on the sidelines with his arms
- 30:06Speaker 2: crossed like this. He goes, all right, get out of
- 30:07Speaker 2: the game. That's not what I wanted. That's not the
- 30:11Speaker 2: result that I wanted. I didn't call foul, he didn't
- 30:13Speaker 2: call anything. He just like, Hey, if you're hurt that badly,
- 30:17Speaker 2: then you obviously clearly need to rest. I don't want
- 30:20Speaker 2: you to risk yourself anymore. Just set up, just go
- 30:24Speaker 2: sit up. Let's just sit out for the rest of practice.
- 30:28Speaker 2: I never did that again.
- 30:30Speaker 3: I can imagine.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I can imagine I never did that again. As a
- 30:34Speaker 2: matter of fact, I played through every injury that there was,
- 30:36Speaker 2: broken thumbs, everything else. I was never coming off the
- 30:40Speaker 2: court again. No coach was ever going to pull me
- 30:42Speaker 2: off a court again or a field again because of
- 30:44Speaker 2: an injury. It just you're gonna have to carry me off.
- 30:46Speaker 2: If you're gonna get me off, I'm not letting that
- 30:49Speaker 2: happen again. So that's what I want to do. The cruth,
- 30:52Speaker 2: this rule, the merv cruth, this rule. I just want.
- 30:55Speaker 2: If you're hurt that badly, you're out of the game.
- 30:58Speaker 3: I think that's great.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Take you out of the game.
- 31:00Speaker 3: I think it's a great plan.
- 31:01Speaker 8: When five Iron and I were watching the game last night,
- 31:03Speaker 8: a Netherlands player was just laying on the ground. At
- 31:05Speaker 8: at one point it was like the guy he'd been
- 31:07Speaker 8: in there for like thirty seconds, and five Iron goes
- 31:09Speaker 8: that guy is still dead on the field, and I
- 31:12Speaker 8: was like, yeah, I don't know what's happening.
- 31:13Speaker 3: And then they just keep playing.
- 31:14Speaker 8: Finally he waits all the way till a ref finally
- 31:17Speaker 8: walks over and looks at him, and then he gets
- 31:20Speaker 8: up just fine. And we saw the replay. It was
- 31:22Speaker 8: the if anyone was gonna get hurt, it would have
- 31:23Speaker 8: been the Moroccan player on the play, not the Netherlands.
- 31:26Speaker 2: The guy player did not leave the game, did not
- 31:28Speaker 2: leave the game. They came and sprayed things on his ankle,
- 31:31Speaker 2: which is probably water. This guy needed nothing, Yeah, and
- 31:35Speaker 2: he just kept going. He just kept playing in the match,
- 31:38Speaker 2: didn't even come out for a play. But to me,
- 31:40Speaker 2: it's like and it's not too And to me it's
- 31:43Speaker 2: just like, you won't do that if the penalty is
- 31:46Speaker 2: so severe that your take, if you're hurt that badly
- 31:49Speaker 2: and you need to carry on that way, then we're
- 31:52Speaker 2: gonna protect you and we're gonna just take you out
- 31:54Speaker 2: of the match. So you're just done and also shit done.
- 31:57Speaker 2: You can't come back later, can't come back at half time.
- 32:00Speaker 2: I'm if you are in that much pain that you
- 32:02Speaker 2: have to do USW, then you will be taking you
- 32:07Speaker 2: for your own protection and safety and your own limbs.
- 32:10Speaker 2: You're just done for the day. I think that's a
- 32:13Speaker 2: great plan, and then they'll stop doing it.
- 32:15Speaker 8: Yeah, because them writhing around isn't what's getting the referee
- 32:19Speaker 8: to give them yellow card. Not like, oh you guys,
- 32:22Speaker 8: I actually didn't think that that was a foul. But
- 32:24Speaker 8: do you see how hurt he looks to be.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Yeah, they do that in football. Yeah, well yeah, usw's
- 32:32Speaker 2: gotta go. I mean, I've learned to livel a lot
- 32:34Speaker 2: of this other stuff.
- 32:35Speaker 3: That one.
- 32:36Speaker 2: I've been a good soldier throughout this entire process. I've
- 32:38Speaker 2: tried real hard Ringo to be the shepherd throughout this
- 32:42Speaker 2: entire World Cup experience. But usw's can't deal with him,
- 32:46Speaker 2: and I say we just pull a merv cruthis. If
- 32:50Speaker 2: you're really hurt that badly, then I don't think you
- 32:52Speaker 2: should continue playing. You're out for the rest of the game.
- 32:56Speaker 2: How about that?
- 32:57Speaker 6: Yep?
- 32:57Speaker 3: I like it done.
- 32:58Speaker 2: I have a feeling no one else listening does, though.
- 33:02Speaker 2: All right, one last thing comes your way next Sports
- 33:04Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, Hard Red Bell coming
- 33:18Speaker 2: up at ten o'clock here this morning, Ashton and I
- 33:21Speaker 2: getting ready to close out the show as we always do,
- 33:23Speaker 2: that is with one last thing. What you got?
- 33:26Speaker 8: Well, I want to appreciate you for saying reminding me
- 33:29Speaker 8: what my one last thing was. I thought about this
- 33:30Speaker 8: on the ride in this morning, and then I got
- 33:32Speaker 8: in to write it down and couldn't remember what it was.
- 33:36Speaker 3: The whole show. I've been trying to rack my brain.
- 33:38Speaker 8: Where did I hear this? Where did I see it?
- 33:40Speaker 8: What was I going to talk about? You said something
- 33:42Speaker 8: about jameis Winston and instantly I remembered what my one
- 33:45Speaker 8: last thing was and it has nothing to do with
- 33:47Speaker 8: Jameis Winston. Okay, very weird, but you will see why
- 33:50Speaker 8: it reminded me. Okay, so you know Gino Smith is
- 33:53Speaker 8: in some.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Trouble, yes, and almost at OPQ today.
- 33:58Speaker 8: Yeah, there's some conversations about what are the Jets going
- 34:01Speaker 8: to do if Geno Smith is unable to play because
- 34:04Speaker 8: of this battery charge or battery investigation that's going on.
- 34:09Speaker 8: So all I could think about is what if Gino
- 34:12Speaker 8: Smith can't play for the Jets and Russell Wilson will
- 34:15Speaker 8: be like, actually, okay, I will play now.
- 34:18Speaker 3: I just didn't want to be a backup.
- 34:21Speaker 2: I could see that happening nice.
- 34:22Speaker 8: So then with Jameis Winston and Russell both going onto TV, it.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Made me think, right, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
- 34:28Speaker 2: I do. I despise the analysis of this this morning.
- 34:32Speaker 2: I'm sure you heard the same thing on the drive
- 34:34Speaker 2: in like, oh this devastating for the Jet No, no, no, no.
- 34:37Speaker 2: The fact that they signed Geno to be their starting
- 34:40Speaker 2: quarterback was the devastating part. That's what state they're in. Yeah,
- 34:44Speaker 2: they're not trying to win this year. They're trying to
- 34:46Speaker 2: get a veteran quarterback who's had recent success that can
- 34:51Speaker 2: make them respectable on Sundays. This is not taking away
- 34:56Speaker 2: from their ultimate game plan at all. They want to
- 34:59Speaker 2: be bad this year year so they can get a
- 35:01Speaker 2: top draft pick and get a quarterback next season.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:05Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if.
- 35:07Speaker 8: All of a sudden Russell was like, well, I'll hold
- 35:09Speaker 8: off on my retirement.
- 35:10Speaker 3: For one year.
- 35:11Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised either. Yeah, I think I'd entertain
- 35:13Speaker 2: another option if I were them, But yeah.
- 35:16Speaker 3: I would too, Bet. I mean, I don't know.
- 35:18Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to close with this. I want
- 35:20Speaker 2: to talk about gestures to close the show because I
- 35:22Speaker 2: think that you and I are all not haven't been
- 35:25Speaker 2: on the same page on this in quite some time,
- 35:28Speaker 2: and so we can clear this up a little bit
- 35:29Speaker 2: here today, Like gestures can mean numerous different things, like,
- 35:34Speaker 2: for example, this one's pretty clear cut rust one right
- 35:37Speaker 2: here that I'm showing you. It doesn't mean you're number one, Ashley.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Oh it doesn't.
- 35:40Speaker 2: No, it does not mean you're number one.
- 35:42Speaker 8: All right, then we have been on a different page
- 35:44Speaker 8: that all the time. Every time you do that to me,
- 35:46Speaker 8: I can't.
- 35:47Speaker 2: I can't even put it on camera. I've been told
- 35:49Speaker 2: like we're not allowed to put That's why I'm holding
- 35:51Speaker 2: it up above my head. We did ask about it, right,
- 35:53Speaker 2: But that does not mean your number one that has
- 35:55Speaker 2: pretty much just one meaning.
- 35:57Speaker 3: That's disappointing.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Yeah for me, it's not hitch hiking. No, like the
- 36:01Speaker 2: thumb's out, sure, but okay, yeah, no, I'm not trying
- 36:03Speaker 2: to hit your run one meaning, and it's not the
- 36:05Speaker 2: good one. Okay, got it? Yeah, I put it away now. Yeah.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Yeah, this.
- 36:11Speaker 2: One, for example, like this has a couple of multiple
- 36:15Speaker 2: meanings though, Like this can be hey, it's a roll
- 36:17Speaker 2: of the dice, or it could mean something completely different.
- 36:21Speaker 3: It depends on how high or low you do it.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Right, it's just a roll of the dice, that's right.
- 36:26Speaker 2: That those gestures could mean different things, right, So I
- 36:29Speaker 2: was on my walk yesterday, I'm like remembering like a
- 36:33Speaker 2: conversation that we had, Like I don't think we're on
- 36:35Speaker 2: the same page on the gesture of the ball with
- 36:39Speaker 2: the Mariners. So I was going to clear that up. Yeah, okay,
- 36:42Speaker 2: So universally accepted that when a player gets his first
- 36:46Speaker 2: hit or a third of three thousandth hit or whatever
- 36:50Speaker 2: the case, something special and they want the ball. They
- 36:53Speaker 2: just do this right, like I want the ball right, okay,
- 36:56Speaker 2: And so they make sure and everybody in the dugout
- 36:59Speaker 2: does it. Hey, hey, hey, don't throw that ball in
- 37:00Speaker 2: the stands. We want that ball right. So that's the
- 37:02Speaker 2: universal gesture for I want that ball because it means something.
- 37:06Speaker 6: Yes.
- 37:07Speaker 2: So what I always talking about with the Mariners is
- 37:11Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year they started doing that
- 37:14Speaker 2: at the after every hit. Julio did it last night, okay,
- 37:18Speaker 2: and the it's supposed to be funny, like we are
- 37:22Speaker 2: in such a slump, I need the ball, give me
- 37:25Speaker 2: the ball. I got a hit, Yes, I need that
- 37:27Speaker 2: ball like it shouldn't be a historic put it on
- 37:30Speaker 2: your shelf hit. But comedically, that's what they've been doing
- 37:34Speaker 2: this season. But that's a completely different thing than what
- 37:37Speaker 2: Kal does when he hits a home run.
- 37:39Speaker 8: That's the only one I ever see. Yeah, So I
- 37:41Speaker 8: was like, I don't think he's saying that.
- 37:43Speaker 2: No, I don't know what he's doing, but it's some
- 37:46Speaker 2: sort of it's like a TCU horn frog thing that
- 37:49Speaker 2: he does.
- 37:50Speaker 8: I always thought it was. I don't think I'm allowed
- 37:53Speaker 8: to say it. I don't know I am allowed to
- 37:55Speaker 8: say that.
- 37:55Speaker 2: I honestly don't know what it is. But it's some
- 37:57Speaker 2: sort of claw.
- 37:58Speaker 7: I thought it was moose something. It might be, who knows,
- 38:03Speaker 7: And with his knuckles. It's the He's just he's been
- 38:06Speaker 7: doing that for years.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Yes, and that's what I thought we were talking about.
- 38:09Speaker 2: It's a gesture toward the bullpen, so his buddies that
- 38:12Speaker 2: he can't they have a gesture together. So I don't
- 38:15Speaker 2: know what it means. It might be something naughty.
- 38:17Speaker 8: That's what I've always thought it was, because that's.
- 38:19Speaker 7: The sign I've ever Yeah, but those are all three
- 38:22Speaker 7: different gestures, like the universal I want the ball that's
- 38:26Speaker 7: universally been accepted, the one the Mariners.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Have been using earlier this year. Has been making fun
- 38:32Speaker 2: of that, like we're in such a slump. I need
- 38:34Speaker 2: that ball. Got it, okay, because I'm gonna put that
- 38:37Speaker 2: on my shelf. Got it? And Julio even did it
- 38:40Speaker 2: again last night. They did it after the four runs
- 38:42Speaker 2: were scored to break the streak. On Sunday.
- 38:44Speaker 3: I didn't see him do it that.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Was my point yesterday. I'm tired of the joke. Yes,
- 38:48Speaker 2: I get that.
- 38:49Speaker 3: That makes way more sense because I was like, I swear,
- 38:51Speaker 3: how did that last year?
- 38:53Speaker 2: No, but Cal's been doing that home run gesture ever
- 38:55Speaker 2: since he came.
- 38:56Speaker 3: In, and I thought so, I was like, I was confused.
- 38:59Speaker 2: He's not asking for the ball, it's he His gesture
- 39:02Speaker 2: is something for the the guys and the pens.
- 39:04Speaker 3: They're very similar though.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's why I was clearing. I appreciate it,
- 39:09Speaker 2: but yeah, whatever the he I mean, he has that
- 39:11Speaker 2: relationship with the bullpen guys and so that that's for them.
- 39:15Speaker 2: God don't know what it means. Maybe I'll ask him
- 39:17Speaker 2: about it next spring training. Yeah, I'll probably.
- 39:20Speaker 3: If it doesn't mean what I think it.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Does, probably why, he'll probably lie to me. Maybe they
- 39:23Speaker 2: call him the big Moose or the big Moose knuckle.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 39:26Speaker 3: We can't say that. I don't know if Yeah, who knows.
- 39:28Speaker 3: I don't want to get in trouble.
- 39:29Speaker 2: All right, Greg Bell's coming your way next. Maybe that's
- 39:31Speaker 2: a good nickname for Greg. Going Forward Sports ninety three
