Chuck & Buck 3-30 Hour 2: Headlines and the ABS, the Elite 8 didn't disappoint and Draftmas is just two days away! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Let's be clear. You don't see Jose Ramirez strike out
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on a fastball up in the zone all the time.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: This thing is lively. Three two is right there? Strike three,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: strike three on Naylor. That is eight punch out. It's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a career high for Hancock, which is not far north
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of the Florida.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I call it hit the bag and pinned to Naylor.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It might be that kind of night for KRO's own
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock. On a special night, there's always a play
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, something, Yes, that can happen. One two
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: waving a mess man? Is that a filthy sweeper? Ryan,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You've got a six run lead. If you want to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: push him right at first place, that's Naylor. The turn passes.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: There no hits still on the board for the Cleveland
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Guardians because of an absolute jewel from Emerson Hancock. I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: did I tell you it was a big fan of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock. Jason Bennetti.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But could you hear them when they're like, oh, on
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a night that could be special?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Uh, that's where they're kind.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Of like, why are you guys protecting you? Yeah? I
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: don't understand when a broadcaster does that, ever, and tries
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to not mention the note. Your job is to report
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the game. You're not in the dugout.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You're not jinxing anything. Yeah, if Aaron Goldsmith or some
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: local person wants to do it because they feel like locally,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I need to not do this because I have to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: face the angry fan base. Yeah, I still don't agree
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: with it, but maybe I understand why they would do it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But there's no reason not to do it on a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: national scale.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: No, And that's why it was making me laugh because
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they were even trying harder, like harder almost than a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: local person to avoid it, like on a night that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: could be special.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Well, sometimes you need a play like this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of problems with this all of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a sudden, Cuz, all right, so number one, your job
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is to report it. Number two your national so you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: don't have an angry fan base to listen to that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: think somehow you jinked a no hitter. Number three, there
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: was no chance Emerson Hancock was going to be allowed
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to throw a no hitter. He was at seventy pitches
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: through three innings. Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Well, and they were like, whoa are they going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: let it?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: They said, are they going to let him finish it,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and I was like, there was.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: No chance that that was going to have. But then
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to send you an angry email now.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: But then they thought, well the teams could the team
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: could still get a no hitter.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like, oh, there goes the no hitter.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: When Chris I was like, I mean that's a base hit.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: We're all right, that's the come bine. No hitters not special.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It's just the world that we live in. And if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: there were some people that are still angry about this,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you to just stop being angry
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: about it. Yeah. I mean, look, if he's sitting there
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at eight innings and at ninety seven pitches, maybe even
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: seven innings at ninety seven pitches, then maybe they see
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: how the eighth inning goes and maybe they do push
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it a little further. But we just saw Emerson Hancock
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: be the best version of Emerson Hancock that we've ever
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: seen in our entire lives. Emerson Hancock got to see
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock be the best version. I mean, let's face it,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Emerson's has been on the outside looking in with all
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of his best friends, like I'm the guy that only
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: gets to pitch when somebody's hurt at the major league level.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And so he got to see that success. He got
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to see like, oh wait a minute, I might, after all,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be just as good as all of them, any of them. Yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And so you got an opportunity for Emerson to feel himself.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Six innings, ninety seven pitches, come on, there was no
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: chance they were gonna let him.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Pitch, especially his first start of the season.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So they took him out after six innings because
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they knew he wasn't gonna be able to pitch nine. Yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: so why have him pitch a seventh in that situation?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And so on nitches?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: No, it's just the way that they do it now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: There's just no way on opening night a guy having
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a dream year up eight runs or a dream game
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: up eight runs, that you're going to remove Emerson Hancock
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: or excuse me, you're gonna let Emerson Hancock go out
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and pitch through the ninth. And if you let him
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: pitch through the seventh, then it makes it even worse
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: when you absolutely have to take him out in the eighth.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So they're putting him the team first. I mean, if
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he's at ninety seven pitches after eight innings, and they
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: only wanted him to throw one hundred pitches that night.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: He goes out there, he goes out there for the ninth.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: If he's at eight after eight innings, yeah, but after six,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: no chance. So I don't want him to either. It
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was the the absolute right thing to do. I'm glad
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they did it. And the thing that we have to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be excited about. I'm a lot more excited about what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I saw from Emerson Hancock and what it could mean
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: for him and the team the rest of the year
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: because they told us it's a new and improved version
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of Emerson and we got to see it, yeah, firsthand
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: last night, and so yes, that was the most important
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: thing to it all. And it outweighs any hope of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: trying to get nine more outs and try to get
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a no hitter. Can you imagine if you let him
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: go one hundred and thirty pitches.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, and then you don't have it, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: then you don't have him if you need him later
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in the year when if something else happens to someone.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Else, Well, it's so far out of his routine. If
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he goes one twenty one thirty where he's not expected
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to I mean that the next starts he's not going
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to be the same guy. And it also increases the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: chance of getting injured. That's a big leap. I mean
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: his lat The most pitches he threw in a spring
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: training game was probably sixty sixty five. It's just like
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: marathon training. Nobody actually runs twenty six miles before they
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: run a marathon. What they do is they work their
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: way up to like eighteen, and then they just trust
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: on that runners high. When they get to eighteen, they
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: break through the wall and they can finish twenty six
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that day. But nobody trains by going out running a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: marathon every day to run a marathon well. And in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: spring training, you're getting them up to a certain point,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and you can't go from sixty five pitches max. To
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty the next night and think that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: there aren't gonna be some repercussions. There are no repercussions
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: from this. Only good. Emerson was fantastic last night, And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: sure we as baseball fans got deprived of maybe seeing
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: him get nine more outs and finish off a no hitter.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And if he would have been closer, yeah, you go
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: for it, but nine outs away, no chance, it was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the right move. That's the right movie period. Mariners win
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: last night eight to night thing highlights there provided by
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Peacock and NBC. We've already discussed the frustration of having
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Peacock carrie our fourth game of the year last night. Well,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we'll talk more about that a little bit later on
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in the show. Mariners split a four game series against
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians, so two and two on the brand
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: new year, and they get ready to host the Yankees
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: tonight at six forty. It'll be Luis Castillo going against
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Ryan Weathers, one of the newcomers for the Yankees, young
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: left hander. First pitch tonight is at six forty. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: so we also have for Major League Baseball the ABS
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Challenge system, which I do want to get into here
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in a moment, but let me get through the rest
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of your headlines. Brought to you by Frost Brewed Course
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Light Final four set in college basketball, Arizona, Michigan, Illinois,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and Yukon have made it to the Final four. Yukon
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: getting there because of their stunning nineteen point comeback against
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: number one seed Duke. Seventy three to seventy two was
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the final score. So the Huskies will face the ALIGNI
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in the final four, and then the two one seed Titans,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Arizona and Michigan will play for the other spot in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the National Championship Game, and that'll take place on Saturday.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You dub Spring football starts this week, and yes, we
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: are just two days away from Draftmas, so hopefully you've
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: made your preparations out there. I don't know what to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, the trees up.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: May I feel for you if you're gonna have to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: run around all the crowded stores and get your draft
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: miss stuff at the last second. But I also, as
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: father Draftmas, have warned you for days that this has.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Coming, well actually longer than days.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Years.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people know it's coming. There's no excuse.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel bad because I got the tree
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: up and everything, and then I put to put the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: lights up, and I've got a string that's not working.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And I thought, you know what, I should have checked
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: these months ago to be prepared, and I left it
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: till this weekend. So now I got to scramble today
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to get the lights up. It's a little stressful.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, Bucky was so excited he called work today. Yeah,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he couldn't sleep all weekend long. He knows Draftmas starts
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and so he just sent us a message saying, Hey,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I got to go to the doctor.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Yea, the doctor. I'm so excited.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited about this that I can't wait. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping the doctor gives me some take it easy
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: pills chill pills as some people call them in the business.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think professional, like, man, you got to take
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: a chill pill.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I believe medically they're called chill pills. Not do you
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: too fancy a term for people out there, But yes,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Bucky had to get a subscription for chill pills or
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: prescription for chill pills.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I hope they work.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I do too, because I'm telling you last week, I mean,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: we got baseball getting ready to start, and all I
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: heard out of his mouth Draft MIAs, this, Draftmas that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: So anyway, worked himself into a Draftmas Frenzy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Kizzy gave himself an ulcer, a Draftmas ulcer. Actually, if
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you're going to have one, have a draft MISSILESO festive.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Is it all right?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Good? So yeah, that's in a couple of days and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the Kraken won't play again until tomorrow. They lost over
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the weekend, they've lost four of their last five, and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: so I mean it is I mean, there's still just
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: two points out of a playoff spot.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: At least they got points in some of the losses.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, I mean, you aren't making it easy on anybody.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much right now. So they'll be
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: in Edmonton tomorrow. Ten games left in the regular season,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: ten games to prove they belong in the playoffs. So
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there. All right, let's talk about
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the ABS Challenge System, which was introduced starting Wednesday night
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball twenty twenty six. It's so funny
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that in the WBC that people were so angry that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they didn't have the ABS Challenge system and that US
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Dominican game because the game ended on a called third strike,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And had you had the ABS Challenge system, we know
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the technology exists, why aren't we using it? So funny
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that we've gone over well over a century, almost a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: century and a half without it, and yet we couldn't
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: watch one game, one game in the playoffs with a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: called third strike that was off the plate. That we
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: can't live with that because we know that the technology exists,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and we know, we knew we were going to get
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it when the Major League Baseball season started, and yes
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it is officially underway, and man, is this going to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: be a topic all season long. It was the topic
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: over the weekend anytime you have something new like this,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and it created scenarios. I don't know if you saw
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: this one, but there was a scenario in Cincinnati with
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: our friend Gino Suarez at the plate where he challenged
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: back to back calls because the homeplate umpire was the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: terrible CB Bucknell, and he challenged back to back calls
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and he got them both right. Oh well, okay, And
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: so I mean it is like at that point, boy,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you're looking like a fool as a homeplate umpire that
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you just got challenge on back back. It's got on
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: both right. So Suarez got a thunderous applause after the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: first one. When he got the second one standing over,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the place went crazy, really like they hit like seven
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: home runs over the weekend. And they never went crazier
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: than when Gino Suarez challenged C. B. Buckner two pitches
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in a row and was right on both of them.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: On the second challenge, the place went nuts like this
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is going to turn into something that the fans are
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: going to be on the edge of their seat. You
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: know how they talk about Ashley like the game's too
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: slow moving and you know you can miss something and
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you don't care. And Rob Manford was trying to figure
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: out a way to get fans to the edge of
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: their seats, and so he brought in a pitch clock
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: so it takes only fifteen seconds. We're going to get
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: rid of pickoff moves at first because that's a boring
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: place in the sport and we don't want to see that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: We don't want to see a guy try to pick
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: off a guy at first base nine times in a row.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's terrible.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I will agree with that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I do too. Brings the game to a screeching crawl.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So he's trying to find all these ways to keep
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: fans in their seat, keep them engaged. This might be
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it because based on what we saw over the weekend,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the fans cannot wait to cheer for a challenge and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to be right against that damn dastardly umpire and especially
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the ones that already we don't like because they don't
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: seem to be very good at their job, and so
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for on opening weekend. For CB Buckner to have gone
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: two for six on it on challenges against him, it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: has kind of started this kind of phenomenon where fans
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: are pumped to see their hometown guy challenge that umpire
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and be right, and it was leading to like thunderous
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: applause across the entire baseball world.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: That's pretty hilarious.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Also, think that teams should have a different challenge approach
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: if the umpire is known to be awful, so it's like, yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you could probably We'll let you be a little bit
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: more challenge happy if you're if c. B. Buckner is
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the home played umpire because and you're probably right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: The c B. Buckner clause, Yeah exactly.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I think that would be more entertaining, but I it is.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It's a fun system. We were talking about it last
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: week though, like would we rather have the box not
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: on TV so that the suspense is at home too,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Like you don't know, you didn't see the pitch and
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: where it went in the box, right, so you don't
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: know because last week with Kalu on.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Well the boxes, the box that they use on TV
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: is not the one that so there is suspense. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: number one, we don't take the box away because we're
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: used to watching it with the box.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I like the box.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want too Yeah, And I think we want
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to be able to say challenge that, that's.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: What yeah, right, or oh god, I'm so glad he
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: didn't challenge that, right, Yeah, which is things didn't.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I never dreamt I was gonna end up rooting for
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: or yelling at my television.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Was yelling on Thursday when Cal didn't challenge that pitch
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: in the eighth Inny.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are. But yeah, I mean, I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: think the box that you see on TV is not
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the one precisely measured for the players. Now they spend
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: an entire day getting precisely measured. That's why they didn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: have it in the WBC, because the players spent an
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: entire day at spring training. They did not individually, but
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: there was an effort that took a day to measure
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: all the players so that their boxes were perfect. Okay,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And so when they go to the challenge system, they're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: using that perfect box, the one on television.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: They could still be a little bit different.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Could be could be it's usually it's usually right there,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it's splitting hairs. Yeah, but the one that they flash
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: up on the screen is going to be the one
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that they measured specifically for that player, okay, for that hitter,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and so there could be a little bit of a
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: difference between it. So you still have the suspense. We
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: still get to watch the game with a box because
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: we're used to that. Now, well we get to play
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: armchair challenger at home, and we might see a different result.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I mean the suspense of putting the thing on the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: screen and waiting to see the outcome. Yes, I never
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: dreamed that that was going to be interesting, and yet
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to give fans another thing to root for
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: in a sport that could use that. Yeah, I mean
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I don't need it. I don't need it in baseball.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I think there's plenty of strategy between pitches that I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: don't find it ever to be a dull, boring game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: But there are a lot of casual fans that do.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And so now all of a sudden, you're sitting there
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: playing armchair challenger the entire game, and it certainly added
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: something to the weekend. Now, Grant, it's new, it's a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: brand new thing and all of our lives, but it's not.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: We're just getting the first taste of it. This thing's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: going to evolve from a strategic standpoint. They're going to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: be players. I mean, Randy got to challenge something this weekend,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: but he's not going to be good at it period.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Just know that he is not going to have success
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: He can challenge when Buckner's behind the plate.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Right George, I mean George is going to want to challenge.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: George doesn't like being told no. Yeah, And so that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of interesting little ways
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that this thing's going to be for whatever reason. It's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: crazy to say kind of a source for entertainment this year.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Oh no, absolutely, I mean even especially because all the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: challenges and non challenges from Game one really stick out
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: to me. When Stephen Kwan challenged and was wrong, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: was laughing, Oh, you idiot, why would you challenge that?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And he has arguably the best eye in the entire
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: sport exactly, but it was just I mean, yeah, it
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: does add that extra flair, uh huh. And I mean
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a few other things about it. Number One, I want
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to keep c stats kept on this. I want to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: see them on the screen. Now it might be too
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: early in the process to do it, so short sample
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: size might not be fair to C. B. Buckner, but
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I could. I would start doing it tomorrow. Randy Rose
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: arenas one for one on the season on his challenges,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: every type of guy challenges. I want to see the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: stat how good is he?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good idea.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I want the catcher. I want to keep that as
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a statistic because that's going to be a valuable aspect.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, framing became everything for a catcher there for
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a while, even though it's not. And and so now
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: we don't even need to frame as much anymore. Yeah,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: because of this. And then for sure the umpires, for
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: sure them you have.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: To know how many they're actually getting called out on.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And the same thing with on the base pads. I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: think you have to I'm sorry you got to be
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: put on blast players. I mean you are protected in
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: so many ways. You can't even get fired for being terrible.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Clear C B.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Buckner should not be in the league, but he can't
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: get fired because of the union. And and then they
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: don't have to answer for bad calls afterwards, when players
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: have to answer when they screw something up. Dan Wilson
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: has to answer for when people question his managerial moves,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and yet the umpires they like the most protected people
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: in America. Major League Baseball umpires they don't have to
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: answer for anything. Even if they're terrible at their job,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: they don't have any threat of being fired, it feels like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and so there's no way that I'm not putting their
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: statistics up on the television. I want the audience to know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and I want some pressure to be put on Baseball
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to start firing these guys that we know are terrible
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: at what they do. Yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: No, And I don't think there's any excuse for why
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you would, especially Rob Manfred, if you're trying to put
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: a product out there that people are you know, gravitating
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: towards that are casual fans, I mean, an terrible umpire
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: and having to watch that over and over is going
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to drive people crazy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Players get cut, I mean that sucks for them. If
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: they're not getting it done, they get released. Managers get fired.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Umpires should be You should be able to fire an
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: umpire in mid season based off of the calculations of
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: how how bad you are at your job, or at.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Least suspend them.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: If you have this many where you're you know you're
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: wrong this many times. Okay, now you've got a one
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: game suspension. This happens again. Okay, now you're suspended two games.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they should be able to be fired,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to make snap decisions on it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I'm saying you a process. Then it's like, okay,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: now we gave you too many options, but opportunity.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But of an accumulation of stats, just like a hitter,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: like okay, it's April, so you're only hitting one seventy two,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: but we'll have patience with you. But by the time
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you're still hitting one seventy two in July, you'll get
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: fired or we dfa you same thing. You get fired
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: from your job. Why should an umpire? Why should anybody
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that consistently proves that they're not good at their job?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Why should they continue to be kept? And maybe a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: young person that you live with it. But when C. B. Buckner,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: everybody already knows he's not good at his job.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: And he doesn't seem to care to improve.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And this first time behind home plate proves it to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the world. And he wasn't even the worst guy behind
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the play. He didn't even have the worst success of
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the home played umpires this weekend. I mean, they should
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: be vulnerable to that, and we have you know, we've
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: got the system in place to fix some of their
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: terrible umpiring. But why should baseball live with somebody who
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: consistently scores poorly in this area.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think we should have to.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't have to.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's another thing, positively that should come from adding the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: ABS challenge system. So I want to see those stats.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And then the last thing I want to say about it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I think it was a great point from Bucky last
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: week that we've mentioned a couple of times. Everybody keeps acting.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I just heard an MLB analyst just the other day saying,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's so nice to know that we're never going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: have to have another game that ends on a bad
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: call by a home plate umpire. Are you out of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: your mind? I mean, can you really only see one
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: layer deep in life? I mean, that's the dumbest thing
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I've ever heard. I mean, there were teams that were
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: burning up their challenge all weekend long. Yeah, I mean
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: even in the C. B. Buckner game. Apparently there's a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: once you get your two, it doesn't matter how many
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: times he's wrong. Once you get your too wrong, you
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: lose it. Yeah, and so Trevor's story ends up getting thrown,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: getting called out by Buckner on a terrible call, maybe
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: as worse of the day, but they were already out
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of challenges, and so the game is still going to
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: hinge on whether or not an umpire he's going to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Even bad ones are going to have their moments where
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: they're allowed to be bad and could cost a team
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a chance, not the game, but a chance to win
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the game, like C. B. Buckner did to Boston and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that atrocious performance of his to start the season.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say though at least in that case,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you have a bit more control over hopefully not have
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: used you know, not using those challenges, so you could
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: potentially have one.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: At the end.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: But even even if you save your challenges for the seventh, eighth,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: ninth in means to get there, I mean, you still
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: got a hope that you don't have two things to
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: challenge before that you might get wrong.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: There are people happy challenge challenge happy this entire weekend,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and so that's going to be curb because you do
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: want to start saving some of this and you are
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: going to have to take into account situation during the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: course of the year, and maybe everybody's being given a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: free pass right now, but I have a feeling that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: list is going to accumulate. I have a feeling by
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: mid season, Dan Wilson's going to have a different strategy
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: than he had at the beginning of the year, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it's going to deal a lot with the people upstairs,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the nerdorama that's going to say, no, we've done the numbers,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: We've crunched the numbers. We're not challenging, you know, two
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: in the third inning with a runner at second and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: our eight hole hitter at the point, We're just not
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: going to challenge in that situation, whether it's obvious or not,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: we're just not going to do it. I think some
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: of that's going to start taking hold. But right now
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get their arms around this.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Thing, which I like, I think you should squires.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Umpires, managers, fans, everybody.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I think players should be more aggressive to start dial
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: it back versus being too hesitant to do it. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: would rather see them being like, oh, okay, I shouldn't
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: have done it there now they learned that way.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But we got the warning in the Red Sox game.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Buckner was terrible the entire game, but he got a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: couple right, and then you ran out of challenges.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Because they were too challenge happy.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you got because you were aggressively going
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: after a bad home played umpire, you didn't have any
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: challenges when it mattered most.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: So there's still there's still an issue, I mean, and
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that's going to lead to some of the fanfare in
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the fascination of this topic. I mean, we're just getting
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: started with it, and it's already awesome. It's interesting.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I like it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see all right. Coming up next, the final
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: four is set in college basketball, and man, they're sure
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is a fine line between winning and losing at the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: highest level. We'll talk about it. Sports Radio ninety three
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFMS to go went to the ball get

  Speaker 1: still about ballots Caravan two seconds tosses it up. It's gone,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: We're poor you John Jesen try. It's a classic video
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of the reaction from Bill Raftery and grand Ilia, just
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in disbelief of what they had just watched. And that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: is one heck of a way to lose a game.

  Speaker 1: up on the radio program. But the Final Four is

  Speaker 1: really spice up your weekend, maybe go watch the Final
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Four out at the Tulala Resort Casino. DraftKings sports books
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: normally humming at this point, but that doesn't mean you
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: can't go there, you know, check it out. Maybe a
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: seat opens up, I would you know, I think it
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: gets crazier at the beginning of the tournament. You might
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: be good. You might be good to just go there,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: or maybe you can call them up and see if
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: you can register a seat, save a seat for you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and then and then just head on over there. It
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: might be a perfect place to watch the Final four.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Tlalap Resort Casino.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds good to meet, good food, good eats, good drinks,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: good games.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, the restaurants all over the place, all within walking distance,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and bars everywhere. And then and then oh yeah, you
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: can play some slots or so to say.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And I love a place where if you have to
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: go take a bathroom break real quick, you can just
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: go play a quick slot and then come back, go
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: back fifty dollars richer a lot.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: There aren't a lot of times that I've had to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: go pee and then had the chance to win a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: million dollars.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And you have that at Tullylap.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have a slot machine in my bathroom.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I wish i'd mmm. I.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Then again, I don't know who pays the r if
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: you win, Do I have to pay myself?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I have to fill it probably with money first.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Am I the house? And do I lose to myself
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: because I make the odds too difficult? Yeah?
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: You go, yeah, that's the problem.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So yeah, don't worry about it. At Laylap Resort Casino.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll take care of it. They got the money
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: already in there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the greatest shots ever in the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: history of basketball. I mean, not just the unlikelihood of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: coming back from a nineteen point deficit, but also the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: unlikelihood of being down to Duke has the ball pretty
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: much the game in hand, as Grant Hill said in
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the moment, and as everybody's been screaming, since you don't
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: even have to pass the ball, Yeah, you could have
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: just held it. And if they didn't foul you, it
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: would have taken almost all the time off of the clock.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: If they did foul you, you got two shots. You
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: make one out of two, you're up three. Now they've
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: got to have even if they hit the three, they
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: only tie at the worst. But I think that is
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a byproduct. Doesn't matter if he is the son of
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a former player and is a good player and is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a bright player, you'd ever know how a freshman, a
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: teenager and eighteen year old's gonna react to the games
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: on the line. I have the ball in my hands.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: They're pressing like mad. What am I gonna do with it?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And Kayden Boozer saw somebody down the court, and I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: know what went through his head. If I can get
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: it to him, they can't even get to him because
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: everybody's guarding me. Yeah, if I can get it to him,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: he can probably just run to the corner and dribble
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: out the clock. Uh, and so he saw it as
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a I got a chance for a game is like
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. I got a chance for a game winning
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass down the sidelines, and so I'm gonna go
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: for it because I make that throw ninety nine times
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: out of one hundred. But the paul ends up getting
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: deflected out of his hands and then gets intercepted two
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: passes later. Kid pulls up at the logo like in rhythm.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was no hesitance at all. He passed
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: it off once and his name's Brayln Mullins. He's a freshman,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: gets the ball back and just in perfect rythm. That's
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: why I think is one of the greatest shots of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: all time. Actually, sometimes there are last second three pointers
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that bang off Jalen Suggs bangs off the backboard and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: goes in. You got a little lucky in that particular case.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: He caught that thing in rhythm, didn't hesitate at all.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It was gorgeous leaving his hands. Yeah, and it looked
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: like it was going in from the moment it left
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: his hands, and that's from forty feet away and it
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: hit nothing but net. It was pure. That was one
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of the greatest shots close out a basketball game you'll
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: ever see.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I watched it about seven or eight times.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I was just like man, the way he the confidence
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: he had too for how far behind the line he
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: was everything. I just and with the clock running down,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think obviously he's not thinking in
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: this head counting it down. But you know you've got
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: to be urgent. You know, you've got that sense of urgency,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: And it was perfect and very interesting.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: That I think this is a problem in our industry.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love the I realize what we're taught.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Have an opinion, back it up, try to support it
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: with as much information as you can, and even if
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you're wrong or end up being proven wrong or even
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: wrong in the moment, do you feel confident about it?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Do you believe in what you're trying to tell the audience.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You've been given this opportunity to have this microphone in
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: this platform, and you are a sports fan that gets
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to speak pretty much on behalf of sports fans and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: have your opinion weighed and measured by everybody listening to you.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: But one of the things that I've tried to avoid
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: my entire life is trying to live on that. Because
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: you lost, you're horrible, and because you won, you're amazing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And yet so many talk shows fall into this, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I had to listen to it on the way. In
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: like one segment was John Shire probably time to make
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: a change at Duke because it's been over a decade
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: since they've won a national title and he just can't
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: get the job done. And in the very next segment
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it was, is Dan Hurley the greatest big game coach today?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: He's a wait a minute. They won by one point
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: because a freshman deflected a pass from another freshman, got
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the ball back and hit a forty footer, which typically
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: has about a four percent chance of being made. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: because of that, one guy needs to be fired and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the other guy's a god.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's ridiculous.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, so if he doesn't make that shot. John
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Shire is perfectly good, as Duke said, he got him
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to a final four. What a great head coach. And
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley he's slipping. Yeah, Hey, he won two national
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: championships in a row and now he can't even get
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to the final four.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: What despite the comeback they made to get there.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: An eighteen year old made a great defensive play followed
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: by one of the greatest shots that we've ever seen
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: in one of the most unlikely scenarios we've ever seen
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: play out, yep, in a tournament nicknamed March Madness. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: yet we're going to because he made the shot. Clearly
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: John Shires not the guy for the job, and Dan
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Hurley is amazing. I mean, how about John Shire's pretty
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: good and Dan Hurley's great and the kids decided the
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: game on the court, and one of the kids did
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: something historic and it was the difference in the ballgame.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: And maybe Duke's coach isn't an idiot? Yeah, maybe that
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: can we possibly arrive at that conclusion? Why does it
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: have to be so extreme one way or the other.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: If Mullins makes that shot or misses that shot, that
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't make Dan Hurley any better than what he is.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make John Shire any worse than what he is.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Does John Shire have to answer for blowing a nineteen game? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: so we can.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Criticize regardless if they won or lost. He'd still have
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: to answer it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Why, yeah, why did you lose a nineteen point game?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Nineteen point lead with the final forward stake deserves to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: be criticized for that. Yep, there's some things in their
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: worth criticizing for sure, but it's not he sucks and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the other guy's great because an eighteen year old hit
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: a three pointer with no time left on the clock
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: from the logo.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just like that kid isn't a goat if he
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: misses that shot.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Right right? Yeah, oh moans has to go.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, God, he's zerio. How did he not make that?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I think it was his only three hit the game.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: It might have been his only shot. Picked a great one, Yeah,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: he picked a great one, but it was it was
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: something a special, special moment there in the tournament. All right,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on the radio program, we're not too
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: far away from the most wonderful time of the year.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It's Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: It's almost here.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: That's right, to sleeps.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: That's right, two sleeps, two sleeps from the start of
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: our Draftmas celebration. Now, don't get that confused. If you're
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a first time listener to Chucking Buck, you just moved
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to town. You don't really know what's up around here.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: First of all, get to know us.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say if you're new to town and
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: you're here already. You are starting things off on the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: right foot.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. You've already found your favorite morning
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: sports show. So yeah, I'm glad, glad you're a little
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: bit ahead of it. But stop judging us, you know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: maybe get to know your environment a little bit before
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you start wondering. We're not two days away from the draft.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Should I switch stations? No, But we launched the Draftmas celebration.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: We are the creator of the Draftmas Holiday here on
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Chucking Buck here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: and it begins in just two days from now, on
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: April first, Wednesday, we will start the show. We will
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: kick it all off. And so I'm quite excited about it.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I my draft miss plans on the flight home. I'll
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: have you know, Ashley, I know that we've had a
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: couple of things in the air. Can't wait to tell
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you about it in our show meeting.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I'm excited when things are over with.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: So we are all set and we are ready to
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: go and ready to deliver it to you on Wednesday.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: And yeah, there's fewer draft picks right now for the Seahawks,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and so that's you know that usually you get a
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: little more excited over more draft picks, but also your
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: World champs. That's right, So really nothing can bring you down.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Things have been trying to. And I'll tell you what,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I'm still up here at this stage.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, man, world champs, we didn't have another pick
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: till twenty thirty. We'd feel pretty good right now in
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the moment. And you also have a guy that has
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: been dominating this process here the last three seasons, maybe
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: even a little bit beyond that. John's got his mojo back,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald and he seemed to be in lockstep right now.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: So we'll cover all of the things coming up starting
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: on when Wednesday that it could pop up during the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: course of the next month. So yes, we do a
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: month long Draftmas celebration. It starts on Wednesday, and we
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: invite you to join. Make sure you get all of
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: your Draftmas decorations going because you don't want to be
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: caught in the rat race here the next couple of days.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna look like a fool.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Target is going to be packed.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I was there yesterday. My gosh, nightmare on the arguing
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: lot and.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: The story over the weekend is that for those that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: think running back is the biggest priority, I'm not saying
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: John Schneider disagrees with that. And yet, because running backs
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: don't typically get taken in round number one unless they're
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a Jeremiah Love type special type that you know, the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: rumors are that, yes, the Seahawks will be taking a
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: running back, but it won't be with their first pick.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: That their first pick might be devoted toward kind of
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: replenishing that cornerback group that got rocked a little bit,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: that secondary that got rocked a little bit, and using
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Woolen and Bryant to the secondary. So maybe cornerback is
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the priority there at the end of the first round.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Of course, we all studied John Schneider long enough to
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: know he does love accumulating picks, even in a down year.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: My guess is that he's not satisfied with only having
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: four a down year. From the standpoint of they're saying
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: this isn't a great draft, and the last time they
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: said that about a draft, he actually ended up with
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: fewer picks because he wasn't really in love with that
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: many players out there. And so, but and yet I
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: still expect him at thirty two. It's a pretty advantageous
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: position to be in in the first round, because there
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: are going to be teams that are going to try
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: to get back into the first round, especially if there's
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a quarterback on the board, to try to get that
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: extra year that you get to use on a first
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: round pick that doesn't afforded the very next pick. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: a first round pick up to thirty two, you can
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: pick up the fifth year option on their first contract
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: and keep their salary a little bit in check. One
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: pick later and you don't have that flexibility. You don't
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: have that option. And so especially when it comes to quarterbacks,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams would like to have five years
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: of control over a first round quarterback as opposed to four.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a quarterback worthy beyond Simpson
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: and Mendoza of a first round selection, but nonetheless, it
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: does put you at thirty two and a little bit
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: of a position to seek a trade at the end
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: of day number one that gives you a high second
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: round pick and then also may give you an extra
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: pick to use down the line. So from that standpoint,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: it's fascinating. We'll certainly cover that angle as well during draft.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Miss I mean, I just think all of it is
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: very exciting this time of year. But the possibilities. They
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: love looking through our catalog, and I understand what you're saying.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: You know, with less draft picks, not as thrilling, But
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I think we've still got some excellent decisions that have
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: to be made.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Catalog arrived.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Oh it's here.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's here. So I've got to present that. Get
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: ready to present it for everybody. So the catalog is here.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: The stocking stuffers are being hung as we speak, by
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the chimney with care. The nog is being made, the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: draft nog, Oh yeah, all in red solo cups.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: That's the only time of year I eat or drink dairy.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I just make an exception for the draftmas nog.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We always just celebrate with spirits inside a red
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: solo cups. That's smart, that's right.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: We do what John does.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: That's right. We have Schneider Bucks to spend again this year.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: But hole in my pocket, we don't have twelve this year,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: though we usually have twelve. But with only four picks,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I can't justify giving you twelve Snyder Bucks to spend.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: I think last year we even got fourteen.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: So we had extra last year.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I had to extend it this year. I got to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: peel it back a little bit. YEA one of those
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: years wasn't just wasn't a good dear for Dad. No,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I get that.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And the price of gas is so high right now,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: you know I get it.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So so yes, we'll get that started Winnesday. We've
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: got a a couple of new wrinkles, like we always do,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: present for you, and I can't wait. I mean I
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: have been really like a wood chuck putting nuts in
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: its mouth to store it up for the winner. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: have been storing away all my draft takes for draft.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Miss.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: That's that what's going on.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's happening right there. Yeah, don't look any
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: further into that. But yeah, so we're getting ready for
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: that on Wednesday. Also, I should just point out I
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: got Rick new Isel. Did you see that first game
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: in the UFL as head coach and he set a
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: passing record? Yeah, in the league.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I was actually thinking that the other day. I was like,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: maybe we need to check in with coach new Heel
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: and see how the UFL's going.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: That might be something that we do later on this week.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Austin Reid, the former Bears quarterback, is his quarterback with
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the reneg It's about him.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: I remember when he talked about him three.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Hundred and sixty eight passing yards. So Rick new Hel's
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: on the job one day and he's already set a
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: passing record. Yeah, yeah, he's selfish, all right. Coming up
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: next on the Prog Mariner's opening weekend. It featured a split,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: It featured the new Emerson Hancock, it featured a cold
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: start for the Big Three, and it featured some television
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: nonsense that, unfortunately, I think we're going to be stuck
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: dealing with. We'll talk about all of it next. It's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Ashley with you on Sports Radio ninety three
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM.
