• 2:16
  Speaker 1: keep the playoff games coming because there that's a different feel.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: M hm boy, oh boy, that's a different feel. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: thank you Cal and Jorge and Julio obviously for kind
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of making the weekend not end on a suck note.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, that's true. I mean it could have
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: been better. It could have been better that we're showing
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: up here this morning talking about a two oh start,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and you just got to take care of business at
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: some point over the next four days. Just got to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: win one game out of that. But I will say this,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the way that people felt leaving the ballpark and you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: could feel it everywhere on Saturday night, I mean, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: think people were sort of assuming the worst and then
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to go out last night, get the win against maybe
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the best left handed pitcher on the planet and pull
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it out in similar fashion to the way you lost
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: at the night before, three to two final score in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: both of the games. Yeah, it just sort of renewed
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the spirit last night, and you could feel it in
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: downtown Seattle, There's no doubt about it. Yeah it was.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, just watching it on TV, obviously you could
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: tell the energy, and then I was following along on
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: social media things after and seeing the people in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: streets just cheering and loving it, and yeah, that was.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I We're gonna probably get made fun of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that a little bit, that's fine, but you're right, that's.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Fun playoff win in twenty four damn years.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Celebrate it, and it feels like we're going to celebrate
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: every single home play win that we get again. We're
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: starved for it. Yeah, and it's probably gonna grow. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: think some other you know, some other city just for
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: me prepared for it. Some other cities probably gonna take shots.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I don't know how to.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: You've never been there before. Oh yeah, you've never been there.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, all those people have never been
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: there before. So we're gonna get a little a little
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: bit of that. But I say just block it out,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: because I mean, as long as it doesn't get crazy
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and dangerous and everything else. But everybody across the street
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: from Jimmy's last night having a good time out there.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there might have been a sprained ankle because they
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: were hipping and hopping and jumping and hooting and hollering.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, some guy was out there with a drum
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: set and I saw it on when I was walking
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: up when I was going to the game. He just
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: out there playing some music cover song of something, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he's just playing drums to it. And then random folks
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: were walking up grabbing the microphone singing songs. Oh and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: they were yeah, while we were doing the post game
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: show last night, I mean, they were getting after it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think it's just probably a little
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: bit more headaches.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe going on today. But that's fine.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Cleting right, no, no from libations over celebrating.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, is that the first home
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: win since two thousand and one playoffory? Yeah? Yeah, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: mean so locking. I mean, enjoy the hell out of it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care if if anybody says you act like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you've done it before. It's been a long time. Matter
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of fact, a lot of people in the stadium probably
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: didn't have never witnessed one.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: A lot of people that there's now like a famous shot.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be famous, its gonna be played. A lot
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of just some guy with his girlfriend and he's just
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: like crying, crying. It was so adorable as they're getting
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: ready to close it out and then the girlfriend, her
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: wife sees him and then she just hugs him. She
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: didn't go like you lose her Nope, you know, grab
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a tissue.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: It was like, oh, baby was sobbing, but it was like, yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: it had just it had overcome him a little bit.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: And I think in that it was just I thought
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: it was cute, and I it would have been different
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: obviously if he was a fan of an of the Astros,
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I would have mocked him for sure, But he's not.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was great. Yeah, it was great.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I mean softy last night. He was beside himself the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: night before and both knights, both nights we did the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: post game from Jimmy's We're gonna keep doing that, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: he boast he just came by and let us look
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: at his face. I guess because he didn't hang out.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: He didn't like, you know, grab a cocktail and hang
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: out with us or pop on the air with us.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He just like came by both nights and just showed
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: us his face and it said everything. Like the first night,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was just like like he'd you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: uh lost his puppy, Yeah, and he couldn't find it
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: out on the streets of Seattle. And then last night
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I was almost like worried for his health because he
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: looked like he'd seen a ghost. And he wouldn't celebrating.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He wasn't bouncing off the walls like you kind of
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: expect him to. It was a long weekend for us,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of hours for all of us at at KJR,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and and so he'd put in a lot of work.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: But you could tell he put on a lot more
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: work during those nine innings last night with his buddies,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: because it was he looked pale. It looked like he'd
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: seen a ghost and survived it. That's what it looked
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: like last night.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't know if there's anybody that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: besides maybe the guy that was crying that that has
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: more emotions.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Attached to the LANs and nothing on David.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, he was just like one of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: those maybe he had just found his puppy after he
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: thought he had lost it two days in a row again,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you know, like, no, not this, And yet I mean
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: he's he's kind of the heart heartbeat of Seattle fans.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's if there's anything this fan base has
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: been starved for, it's this. It's postseasons, yeah, and then
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: success in the postseason and then getting to watch it
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at your own home ballpark so you get to be
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a part of it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yea.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And I mean the electricity was obviously in the air
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: both nights. I mean, the fans brought it. Last night
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was one where you know, it kind of felt like
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it was gonna be an uphill battle. Based on who
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you were going up against, and Trek Scuoble he pitched
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: well other than a couple pitches that Horrory Polonko made
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: him pay for. And then you felt good. I mean,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: two runs and you basically kind of get what you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: need out of the bullpen and you're like, okay, this
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: is good. And then the walk and an air and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the double. Now you're tied. It's immediately like you turned
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: around and your dog has gone again. What and yet
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: callin Julio'll come up and with a couple of big
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: doubles there that ended up pulling that thing out for you.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So it's just that sorry of relief. And yet I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: don't know. I think he's sitting there just thinking, I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: don't know if I can handle this. This is what
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I want. This is what I wished for.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: A Seahawks game that day too, though, So to do
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: the Mariner's game the night before with the loss, in
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: all of those emotions, then the Seahawks game where you think,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, we might win never mind, and then
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: you go into that game.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: He probably was like, I'll give you insight. He left
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks game. Oh, he was so pumped about Mariners baseball.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He couldn't watch football, and that was maybe. I know
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: we didn't come out on top, but that was as
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: entertaining a football game I've seen the Seahawks play in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: my ten years here. Yeah, I mean that was some
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: great That was some great quarterback play, not great defense.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And yet and yet I look up and like him
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and his buddies are come walking through the door, I'm oh,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you left that game.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Oh I care about what happens across that straight And again,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: thank you Seahawks for your sacrifice for the Mariners yesterday,
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: because that was the one we needed.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: You know, there was a lot of that that was
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: going around, like, you know, let's kick this and then
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: we'll get the juju for the baseball game tonight. You know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the sports gods will take the they're not gonna give
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: us both, so let them will sacrifice this and then
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: we'll win at the baseball yard here tonight, which is
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: exactly what they got done. Three to two is a
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: final score. And believe me, there is this element for
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a fan base that has not had a lot of success,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: where you know, being the favorite in this series does
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: weigh on you. Because we had Friday night, we did
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a round table show, and Dick Fane brought up a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: point about how he's separating the two, like the season
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: has already been a success, you know, winning the division,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: winning ninety games, getting a bye year of cal you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the ownership, front office, stepping up at the trading deadline.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And I agree with him that the season is already
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a success. But the postseason is a completely different animal,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and it can still feel like a failure even though
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the regular season was successful. And I get that, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I understand that, and I think it all changes. I mean,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: if you thought the atmosphere was great Bucky Saturday and Sunday,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: once you get over, if you get over this hurdle
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of what is expected of you, and then all of
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you've just got American League Championship Series and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: World Series remaining. Now, all of a sudden, you're just
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: free of all the burden of expectations. Now it's just
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: now you can really cut loose and you can feel
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: like both were successes, the regular season and the postseason.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But you got to get through this, and that's why
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: there was so much ankst. That's why there was so
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: much you know, frustration on Saturday night, because that was
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: a game on paper that we were supposed to win,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden started creeping into the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: minds of Mariner fans everywhere. Oh man, this season cannot
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: end without a series victory. And I think a lot
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: of people went home Saturday night feeling like it was done.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I was hanging out with Fowler
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and you and his son. He was like, we're done.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: We're cooked after losing the first one, because you knew
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: who you were going to be going up against, one
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of the toughest pitchers in the world right now. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: yet if it isn't exact Mariner baseball, yeah, I mean, yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the bullpen game. You're going against a team that you
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: know has rebounded with a series win over the the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Boogeyman that was the Cleveland Guardians and that sniper the division.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: But they end up winning that wild card series, so
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: they're they're fixed to some degree. I would say, they're
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: definitely on that path, and yet they come in and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna have to face their ace. We get
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to line up whoever we want for the entire series,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and you end up kind of I don't want to say,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: given that one away but you didn't take it. You
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: didn't go out and just win it, and so yeah,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you felt I mean, I was driving to the yard thinking, man,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: this is I don't feel good about where we're at.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And yet I know that just if there is anything
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that this team will do, it's they'll just kind of
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: keep you on the edge of your seat. They're like, yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: we're not we're up two zip. Let's let's go ahead
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and boot a ball real quick and make this interesting. Whatever.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You don't have to do that if you don't want.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be okay with a couple of w's
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: like what we're watching Toronto do to the Yankees.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't that be nice.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with that score ten to fifteen runs. But
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: on this, on the flip side of it, it's kind
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of makes it. I mean, it's an enjoyable product that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: we get to watch. I think that the players have
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: nothing short of grand expectations. I think fans, you can
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: have whatever yours are if you feel like a postseason
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: win and get to the American League Championship Series, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you won't then be disappointed and way shape for him.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: There's others that will be disappointed if they don't make
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: it to the World Series. There's some I'm sure that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: probably thinks if you don't win the World Series, where
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you just were cursed Jerry. Yeah, and yet I'm just
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: kind of every game go out there and I want
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you to. I want to feel like you're the better team,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because I think over the course of a series, usually
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the better team comes out on top. And I think,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: even you're tied one one, so it's about as even
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: as possible. You've scored the same amount of runs one, one, three,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: two and lost one three to two. But I still
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: feel like we got a better team, and I feel
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: like we just dodged a bullet and getting past Trek Scouble.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and just win a couple more in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Detroit and not even have to get to that Game five.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But we shall see how it plans out. Mariners Baseball
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be a Game five.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I just yeah, it was.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: I definitely understood the frustration and worry on Saturday after
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: that lost like the feeling of forty years of oh,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: this is what we're destined for or you know, and
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: especially the last twenty years, But I didn't understand the well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: that's it. Series is over, which so many people were
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: out there talking about. I'm like, series is over. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: a five game series. There's a reason they play five
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: games because the first game doesn't decide.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: The winner of the whole series. That's just not the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: way it works.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: So you can be disappointed and be frustrated, but you
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: gotta have a little bit of faith in your team,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: don't you.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the Scooball factor was already weighing definitely
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: on people's minds. You're gonna have to face them twice
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: in the series, and the first game felt like that's
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the most winnable game. We gotta get that one. I
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: think people went into that night feeling that way, and
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I understand I understand why. But you know, it's baseball,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and particularly as Bucky's pointed out a couple times already
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: this morning, it's Mariners baseball. And so when the series started,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you thought, hey, it was a pretty decent chance we're
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: gonna go one and one in these first two games,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: but you sort of expected it to happen the other
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: way around. I get that, and so for for us
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: to come away from that, I think everybody needs to
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: feel okay with what happened this past weekend, and I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: really feel good about the next two days. I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: feel good if we're coming back and having to face
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that dude again and have to beat him for a
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: fourth time this year with everything on the line, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: now you are puckered up a little bit because it's
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: winner takes all against that monster, you know, in a
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: game five. And I do wonder if aj Hinch, if
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: he thought that we were gonna come back with two
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: runs against Matt Brash in the eighth, if he would
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: have ever told him go hit the showers, kid, way
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to go, you know, we might have had to face
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: him in the eighth inning if he thought we were
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: gonna end up tied going into the bottom of the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: eighth and you end up winning against Finnigan coming out
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of the bullpen. But yeah, it didn't go exactly the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: way that it was scripted to go. But I think
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: everybody should feel pretty good about one and one, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about what's gonna happen in.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Games three and four. M Yeah, I mean, I just
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: we haven't even started really clicking offensively. Cal and Julio
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have been good both games. Jor Hate chipped in yesterday
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: there was a couple other guys that got you know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a check in this on the stat sheet. But I mean,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I just feel like our pitching staff so far, your
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: two games, they've done what you're hoping they would do. Right.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You go out there, keep you in the ball game,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: put up a bunch of zeros, limit the damage, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: when you do get in hairy situations, pitch around it,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: pitch out of it. And so I think the pitching
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: staff continues to look the way they've looked, and we
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: just start getting a couple more guys clicking a little
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: bit here and there. The nice thing about the guys
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you're gonna face was flattery, flirty today and then probably
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: miz the next day. They're good. They can go out there.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: We've seen this team get get shoved on by no
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: name guys and rookies and whatnot, but essentially they struggle
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: more with Yeah, but I just feel good about the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: fact I think this offense is gonna kick it into
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: gear a little bit, and then that's what they're They're
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: gonna have to ride the whole package. You're not gonna
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: just win games, you know, three to two every time
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and hoping for a couple of long balls from the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: same guy. You're gonna have to put together some good
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: abs and scratch some stuff together. Just yesterday was a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: guy you're not gonna do that against. He just doesn't.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: He doesn't give that up. You don't string together three,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: four or five hits against Errek Scubo in an inning
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and put up a crooked number. You need to capitalize
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: when he makes a mistake and hit the ball out
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: of the yard. And we did that a couple of times,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and then when he came out of the game, then
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: we took advantage of that guy hanging a couple of splitties.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you, hoorge Polonco. We'll talk more about that coming
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: up in Mariners Morning After at six thirty today. Of course,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: we're doing Mariners Morning After at six thirty today. But
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: let's find out what else was on tap for this
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Monday show, Chucking, What what's on tep?
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: What's on to?
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: All?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Mariner's three Tigers two yesterday, and so the series is
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: even at game one game apiece. It is a five
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: game series. Games three and four will be played in
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Detroit on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday's game will start at
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: one o'clock our time. It will be Logan Gilbert going
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: again against Jack Flaherty. That is your pitching matchup for
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: game number three. Ryan Healy, who we've added to our
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: staff here for the postseason, is going to join us today.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: We'll get his reaction to the weekend. He'll be joining
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: as former Mariner at nine thirty here this morning. Meanwhile,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Yankees are down two in their series. They were just
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: thumped by the Toronto Blue Jay. So much for them
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: experiencing any rust with the time off. They scored twenty
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: three runs in two days.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't look rusty. They're out there getting it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's some folks that were Look
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: how unfortunate it is for Toronto, right, they end up
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: having the best league and win their division, have best
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: record in the American League, and you've got to go
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: against the Yankees. The players didn't think that. I mean,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the players took that crown, took that title this season,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and then yeah, Yankees, good job, you got past a
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: wild card round. It's time for us to kind of
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: put you where you belong. And they've done that in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the first couple of games. Still ain't over, but they're
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: they're definitely putting a hurt on that pitching staff. It's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: really fun to watch.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Tuesday, five o'clock is Game three of that series, and
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it will be at Yankee Stadium. The NL will take
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the center stage here tonight starting at three o'clock. You're
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: gonna have Dodgers at Phillies and you will have Cubs
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: at Milwaukee's the later game. So that's going to be
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: an eight o'clock start Central time for them. As the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Brewers and the Cubs do battle. We'll talk some football today,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: plenty of football as a matter of fact. I mean,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: we'll focus as much as we can on Mariner playoff baseball.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But it is a Monday, and it was a pretty
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: good game on Sunday, even though we came up on
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the short end of the stick. Thirty eight to thirty
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: five was a final score at Looming yesterday against the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Costly interception by Sam Darnold late in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the contest when he had a chance to win it
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: gave them the necessary field position to get kick the
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: game winning field goal. Greg Bell will join us at
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: seven oh five, so we'll get some information from Gregy
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: also covered the Mariners this weekend as well, so we
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: can talk a little ms with him on the program
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: today and then Hugh Mellen will be with us, not
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: from eight to ten. We're only going to go eight
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: to nine today with Hugh with Monday Morning Quarterback, but
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: we'll get a full hour of our qb ones analysis
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: of the loss to the Buccaneers. No coach Holmgron today,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: So that's our kind of dividing up our time as
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: there's just too much going on here in Seattle, just
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: way too much. No undefeated teams remain in the National
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Football League. The Denver Broncos defeated the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and then last night the Patriots took out the Buffalo Bills.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: So nineteen seventy two Miami Dolphins, they are drinking their
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: champagne rather early. Just five weeks into the NFL season
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and we don't have an undefeated team left.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, a lot of parody obviously. I
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: mean it's odd, there's some there's some teams that lost.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I mean that one last night would be one. I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: think the Patriots are a whole heck of a lot
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: better than I was giving them credit for, even though
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I thought they were going to take a step forward.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I still feel like they weren't going to beat Buffalo
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: at Buffalo, and but and so, yeah, you just kind
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: of have a couple teams. It's an odd one, right,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: What is Baltimore doing? Who the heck? How is that looking?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: As bad as that's looking? And then like the Colts,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I mean the Colts, if they didn't have a bonehead
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: play last week, could be five and zero. That's interesting.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: One winless team remains the New York Jets. They are
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: zero and five because the Saints and the Titans both
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: won yesterday. We will catch you up to date on
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the scoreboard. Cold Turkey Sandwich comes your way at six
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: forty five this morning. You dub somehow came back and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: won that game Saturday against Maryland. They outscored the Terrapins
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: twenty one to nothing in the fourth quarter to win
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: at twenty four to twenty, their first Big ten road
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: victory in the Jedfish era. Meanwhile, there was bigger news
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: nationally as Penn State and Texas both lost over the weekend.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: So the number one and number two team preseason ranked
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: are already out of the top twenty five this year.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Can't wait to talk to coach new Isile tomorrow about
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: his son Jerry, who was the bell of the ball
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: this weekend. In college football, Sounders won Saturday night over
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: the Timbers one to nothing. The WNBA Finals have the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: ace is up to Oh, they won't play game three
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: until Wednesday. It is a best of seven, so the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Mercury have a chance to get back into this thing.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And they are going home for game number three. And
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: we are on the eve of the National Hockey League season.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: It starts tomorrow, even though the Kraken will not open
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: until Thursday at home against the Ducks. So obviously there
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: is a lot going on. We'll do our best to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: cover it all. Mariners, Morning After comes your way. Next
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Chugging Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three, KJR FM,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Husky Rack the Sounders Sports Radio three point three. It

• 22:45
  Speaker 3: sounded so good.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Sends this time time. They all pitched to Polunkoh fastball.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Drive deep right field. Oh hey, hollock, he's done again.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: To two pitch the other way. It's a fair ball
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: down the right field line. Torres will score. Here comes
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Green and the third Joey Korra giving him the way.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Here's the throw hits cut off, and this game is tied.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Hard hit ball my rolley down the right field towards
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the corner, and the big dumper is looking for extra
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: basics and he's got another.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Hell drive it in the rounders take the three pree guys.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: He's come up, clutch him again, bouncing ball to Naylor, clips.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: And finishes in their first point.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: When in twenty four years the Mariners have time the
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: series at.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: One first at home in twenty four years. Adam Amin
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: fs one on the calls there last night of the
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Mariners three to two win over the Detroit Tigers to
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: even the series at one game apiece. Yeah, I wasn't
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: expecting to lose game one and win game number two,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: but nonetheless we've arrived at a one to one draw
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: through two games of this five game series, and the
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Mariners now head to Detroit to take on the Tigers.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Game three will be tomorrow at one o'clock, and then
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Game four on Wednesday. It's Chuckobuck in the Morning's here
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: on a Monday. What a crazy weekend for all of
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: us that love Seattle Sports. Ashley Ryan is here, Bucky Jacobson,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: former Mariners here. My name is Chuck Powell. Greg Bell's
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: going to join us in a moment. We haven't really
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: broken down the Buccaneer Seahawks game at all so far
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: this morning, so we'll get that started with Greg and
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: hughes on his way at eight o'clock. He'll be with
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: us for just an hour today, but we'll get full
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: hour from Hugh RQB one to break down the Buccaneers
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Seahawks game as well. Let's start, though, with our frost
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: brewed Corps light headlines here on a choose chill Monday,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: and it does begin with the Mariners three to two
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: victory over the Detroit Tigers last night. After blowing a
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: two to nothing lead in the top of the eighth,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez and Cal Rawley teamed up in the bottom
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: of the eighth back to back doubles, Rodriguez producing the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: game winning RBI Andres Munoz closes it out in the
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: ninth in the MS even the series at a game apiece,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the Yankees are down two games to none. Toronto has
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely whipped them in the first two games of this series.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: And that series shifts to New York on Tuesday as
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: well at five o'clock. As the Yankees are officially operating
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: with their backs against the wall. The National League Division
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: series will continue tonight. They took Sunday off, but they'll
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: have center stage tonight. Dodgers at Phillies at three o'clock
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Hubs and Brewers six o'clock start our time. That's an
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock start in the Midwest for those two teams.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: College football, somehow, some way, you dub rallied to defeat
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Maryland on Saturday, twenty four to twenty. They outscored the
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Turtles twenty one to nothing in the fourth quarter. Jeed
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Fish gets his first big ten road victory of his
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: tenure with the Huskies, and so U dub pulls out
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the win twenty four to twenty. Penn State did not.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: They lost to UCLA for goodness sake over the weekend,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a winless Bruins team that looked like they hadn't a
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: clue on how to play football this year. But hand
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: it over to a new Heizel and see what happens.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Jerry Neweisl is suddenly the Cinderella at the ball they're
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: in Ucla Sounders won nothing winners over the Timbers on
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Saturday night. The WNBA Finals continue Wednesday with the Aces
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: up on the Mercury two to nothing. Series shifts to Phoenix.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: We are on the eve of the National Hockey League
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: season getting underway, and then the Kraken won't open until
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Thursday at home against the Anaheim Ducks. And finally, Buccaneers
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: defeat the Seahawks in a crazy game yesterday at Luminfield
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: High scoring affair thirty eight to thirty five the final score.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Joining us now to discuss it is our Seahawks insider
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Greg Valley two different major sports last night or over
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the weekend, Mister.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Bell, Well, I think it was. I enjoyed the out
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: of it. Actually it was great. It's a really unique weekend.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: And yes, it was really unique. And walking over I
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: have I don't ever cover a game that's already started,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: and I got in the second ding of the Mariners
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: game and it was really unique. The view. I was
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: walking across the top of the sixth floor of the
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: parking deck next to Lumenfield, which looks into through left
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: field of T Mobile Park, and you the noise and
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: the echoes and hear the roars of the fans as
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: I walked across and then down First Avenue into the game,
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: and it was it was cool. It was a really
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: cool and I know SEK fans aren't very happy this morning,
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: but that was the huddle of the game. It was
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: an old fashioned kingdom shootout. I thought it was like
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Dan Fouts and Jim Zorn going out in the Kingdom
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: in the AFC West or something. It was an entertaining game,
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: very alarming. Yeah, we'll say that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: How personal does Mike McDonald take a game like that?
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Not only did he lose, but I mean Baker Mayfield
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: kind of had his way. I mean there were a
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: couple of drives that were just way too easy for
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the Buccaneers on Sunday.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very personal. Check he said, this is my fault.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: I got to prepare them better. I have to call better.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: I have to have better schemes that have answers, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: I have to pressure quarterbacks better. The most damning thing
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: right now, the one thing they could hang a hat
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: on right was their defense. The defense will keep them
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: in games, and the offense will scratch out just enough,
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: but the defense would keep him in games. Well, you
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: remember until the last five and six minutes. He said, Arizona,
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: this is the number two defense in the league, allowing
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: fifteen points a game. They hadn't allowed seventeen points in
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: any game in the first three and then Arizona scores
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: two touchdowns late. And then what happened yesterday. That's in
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: the last sixty six minutes of game time, the last
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: six minutes in Arizona, and all day yesterday, last sixty
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: six minutes, fifty two points teams have put up on
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: the Mike McDonald's defense. We saw what happens when you
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: give quarterbacks time to throw, or sometimes the point the
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: quarterback gives himself time makes himself time to throw. Baker
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Mayfield's tying touchdown was supposed to be inside the pocket,
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: and he spun around boy Mafe and extended the play
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: to his left, throws back across his body. My approach,
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: it wasn't even supposed to be in the game. Third
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: string cornerback tries to grab the receiver and spin him around.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: He misses and throws himself out of the play. Receiver
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: wide open back of the end zone. Touchdown, and the
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: game was tied. And then Donald's interception became because of
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: a safety blitz. Antoine Winfield was unblocked up the middle.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: We talk all the time about pressure up the middle
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: just kills plays, and Donald was trying to throw to
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: Cooper Cup over the middle. He didn't see Levante David
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: go from the right side of the defensive set to
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: the left side. Missed that coverage change and the pressure men.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: He couldn't see David switch anyway, Paul goes off ahead
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: of a defensive lineman for an interception. He blamed himself,
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: Donald for not changing the protection call at the line
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: to pick up that blitz. He said they had practiced
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: against that safety blitz, had a couple of protection calls
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: against it. He went with one they had practice as well,
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: but should have changed to another and should have thrown
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: it to Horton on the right side. So they had
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: two l's yesterday, the loss, and then some good leadership
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: that might last them a long time down the road
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: of their quarterback and their head coach taking the blame.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously there's a lot of offense. Well,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Sam Darnold would the exception of
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: that interception looked good and yet to kind of continue
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: on the idea of the Seahawks defense, it didn't. It's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: not just that you give up thirty eight points. I mean,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: it's just the effectiveness. I think to some degree you
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: got to kind of give credit where credit is due.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I think the Buccaneers are pretty good, but they didn't.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: They were missing some of their weapons, I mean, missing
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: probably one of their best wide receivers and they're starting
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: running back. And yet Baker Mayfield it looked really easy.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: The way in which he did it, Like you said,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean seven for seven to Abuca was
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: he basically had four incomplete passes the entire game, and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: most of them looked like there was nobody even around.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Some of them fit into some decent windows. But is
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: there something where they're running more zone because it just
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: felt like they were dicing them up, like they knew
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: what they were going to be trying to defend them with.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Bucky, they did is more zone because they
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: didn't trust their man coverage with all. With Witherspoon and
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Chilian Love out of the game, two of the best
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: Pro Bowl defensive backs didn't play yesterday, and then Rieke
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Willen gets hurt and all this sudden people seeing what
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: you don't have When Reek Wallen's not back there, you
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: have Poe Peirie behind him. Of backups. Look, it doesn't
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: matter who you have in the secondary. You could have
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Deon Sanders and Ronnie Lott everybody else in their prime
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: her batterly. And if you don't pressure quarterbacks in this league,
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: you're done. The league rules are against defensive backs even
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: touching receivers down the field, and they can't cover them
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: for five seconds. And a lot of Buccaneers plays lasted
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: five or more seconds, and anybody is going to give
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: up catches and touchdowns in that And that was the
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: biggest fault, and I could see it. You could almost
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: see Mike McDonald's gears grinding in his head during the
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: game of whether the blitz more or less he was afraid.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: We kept talking all season about how when they were
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: pressuring with four, the numbers were in the seahawks favor
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: of seven and coverage. Well, yesterday the four couldn't get
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: even close to Mayfield. Mayfield ran away from him anyway,
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: started bringing faster defenders on blitzes, but he was really
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: reluctant to bring his corners. I noticed that he was
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: blitzing Tylecotta most of all, and Tylecotta would just run
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: in and get swallowed up by the offensive lineman. He
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: wasn't fast enough nor big enough. Tyo Kotta's not supposed
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: to play one hundred percent of the snaps in this defense,
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: and that's what he played yesterday because Julian Love was out.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: They he was so reluctant to give up his corners
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: and coverage that in the one snap that the Anthony
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Bell had on defense after Emon Worri came out briefly
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: injured in the fourth quarter was late third The one
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: snap was a blitz by the Anthony Bell. It wasn't
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, early in the fourth and he got
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: a sack and that was the only sack quarterback hit.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: They had two hits one lighter in the game. But
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: that fourth quarter sack was the first time they even
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: touched Mayfield and it was another safety blitz. Time and
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: again when Okada blitzed Mayfield would throw to where Ocado
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: came from. It was basically off one oh one offense
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: throw to where the blitzer comes from over the middle,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: seventeen yard cats, twelve yard cats. I kept watching through
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: binoculars thirty nine going into the line of scrimmage and
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: just getting swallowed by white creamsickle jerseys every time. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: McDonald did not want to bring his corners because he
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: was already so limited in guys who could cover. So
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: he had slow, four downlinemen that couldn't get the mayfield
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: and he had a little undersized, understrength, slower safety who
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: could not get the mayfield. And that was it. Yeah,
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: I mean you had guys the Anthony Bell, Tayo Katta,
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Neamiah Pritchard playing yesterday. It looked like a preseason game.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: And what is one of the better quarterbacks in the
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: league right now, at two time Pro bowler coming off
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: a division title, absolutely shredded him.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks inside. Of course,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you could follow him at g bel Seattle on X
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: and of course Thenewstribune dot com complete round the clock
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: coverage of your Seattle Seahawks from Greg Bell, and he
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: joins us most every day at seven oh five right
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: here on Chuck and Buck in the morning as our
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Seahawks insider. Yeah, Baker Mayfield seems to have elevated to
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that level. I think Sam Donald's playing at that level
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: right now. You know what I kept thinking about, Yeah,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: we lost this game. But the real loser in all
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: of this the Carolina Panthers. How did they have both
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: of those guys at one point and ended up trading
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: away one thousand first round picks in order to get
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: somebody worse.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Chuck, you're the first person in Seattle to say the
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: real loser of the Seahawks even stay with the Carolina Panthers.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: I don't think anybody that's a silver lining that nice
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: of you to bring up. Yes, Donald was brilliant and
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: he did it largely by himself. Look at the numbers
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: and he said, oh, well, Kenneth Walker ran for eighty
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: five yards and ten carries and they ended up with
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty two yards wes sing. Most of
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: the game they weren't running, and we saw again that
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Klint Kubiak is going to stick with it, come Heller
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: high water, and it worked. He just kept plugging and
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: plugging and plugging, and finally in the second half, Walker
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: started breaking some ten and twelve yard runs and even
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: a twenty two yard run in the third quarter. And
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: despite my point is that Donald did it in the
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: first two and a half quarters without a run game,
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: and that is not how this offense is supposed to work.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Yet it worked to a tune of four hundred and
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: seventy six yards passing. It's not hard to imagine that
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: if Donald doesn't throw the interception, it doesn't get blitz uncovered,
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: blitz up the middle, they go down and score the
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: winning field goal there, right, Yeah, because they had four
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: hundred and seventy six yards. So yeah, if you have
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: a Sam Donald offense, sam Donald completes eighty percent of
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: his throws for three hundred and forty six yards and
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: four touchdowns, you damn well have to win the game.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: And that's the problem. The defense absolutely giving it all up. Again,
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: they're completely decimated byes in the secondary. But every team
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: has injuries. The Buccaneers came with a larger injury less
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: than Seattle did. Bucky pointing out rightly that his Bucky Duck,
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: the irving for Morgan, didn't play, and Mike Evans, the
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: Hall of Fame wide receiver, didn't play, and a couple
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: of linemen didn't play. So everyone's hurt once they start
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: playing games. That's the nature this business. It does say
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: that the depth behind the starters is a problem for
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Seattle and McDonald failed in his juggling in his head
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: of whether the blitz or not. He was conflicted, he
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: admitted to me after the game when I asked him
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: that question, said, Yeah, you're right. You got to pick
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: your poison on when to blitz and how much to
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: blitz a guy like Baker Mayfield, because even when you
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: blitzer might not get to him. And that's often what
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: happened yesterday. Anyway, Alarming is the word I keep going
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: back to. You get a game that good from a
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: quarterback Sam Donald, and I'm not I don't think the
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: last You can't blame this loss on him. That last
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: that was something of almost a freak play. But if
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: you have a free blitzer up the middle, trouble's gonna
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: happ But they have to win a game at Darn'll
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: leads in the four and seventy offense.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I think the other way around.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: You're right. Without that interception, the chances are it seemed like,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, they hadn't been stopped and one, two, three, four,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: five consecutives.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe misses the field goal, but I think that would
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: have got range.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true, And so it feels like you can see
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: kind of a silver lining on the offensive side of things,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: and yet it doesn't feel very silverish. It feels like
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to turn green if you take a shower
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: in it, but it'll it'll it feels like, Okay, there's
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: some good things you can look at there. The defensive
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: side of it obviously just did not step up. I
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: mean they had that one stop that kind of stopped
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the seventh straight where they were just going back and
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: forth with touchdowns and so, yeah, you can say depth
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: is not there, and yet to me it would still
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: feel like there's you got to expect that you're going
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: to have to play the depth part of it. So
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: is there is there changes that they're going to be
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: making or is this what you're with? Is there anything
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: you can do to hope that you're better in case
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: of not in case of but because you're gonna have
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: injuries the rest of the season as well.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Well, It is at the moment what they're gonna have
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: to roll with, and the hopes that Devin Witherspoon and
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: Julian Love can come back this weekend and Jacksonville from
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: their injuries and play again. It may well the people
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: the talk and even a thought inside their own building
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: that maybe we shouldn't trade freak Wollen because remember this,
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure this talk of teams wasn't to get
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: interested in Woollen came first from inside the building as
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: they were trying to shop them. But they got a
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: glimpse yesterday what life could be without him, and it
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: looks like they can use all the serviceable corners they
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: can find right now. Look, it's in the biggest picture.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: And I took a step back at the end of
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: the game yesterday and thought about this. The name of
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: the game in the NFL remains quarterback play, and if
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: your quarterback takes care of the ball, you win. Sam
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Donald drops the ball because he gets his right tackle
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: pushed in him at the end in the ten yard
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: line and thirty seconds left against San Francisco, they lose
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: by four. Sam Donald throws an interception off of guy's
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: helmet in the final minute, they lose by three. If
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: he holds onto the ball, they probably win both those
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: games and they're undefeated. I mean, despite the defense's problems.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: If the quarterback takes care of the ball and the clutch,
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: they win. If Sam Darnald becomes cal Rawly and Julia
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Rodriguez in the clutch on either of those two games
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: they win. But yet, having said that, you can't blame
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: yesterday's loss on him. So that's how narrow the margin
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: is for this team with a defense that they has
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: no depth in, the blitz that doesn't blitz, and the
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: pressure living with just four front four providing the pressure
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: that spell running out the margins of finn For a
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: lot of teams in the NFL, that's the nature of
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: this business. Ask the ball more Ravens right now. So look,
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: the Skuy's not falling. It's week five. They're three and
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: two in a division where the leader is four and one,
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: and they still play their division foes, the forty nine
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: ers again. They still play the Rams two more times.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: They've already beaten the Cardinals, and the bigger picture, yesterday
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: doesn't really damage any bigger, longer term prospects. It's just
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: so alarming that the bedrock of the the team, the defense,
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: got absolutely torch.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. All Right, Well, we got
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: a lot more ground to cover with all of this,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: but we'll have to spread it out during a week
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: of baseball. So thank you, sir, great stuff. As always,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: good to see you over the weekend and we'll talk
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: to again soon.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, before I got some face to face. Yeah, Cookie,
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: I think I saw you even the third deck last night.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: I think you're on the JumboTron at one point.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think I was ever in the third deck.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Just another like chubby, redheaded guy. Is that what you're saying?
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: No, no, No, a wife and a kid, just another
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: ball glance up, But that it was you. You don't
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: slum in the third deck. I'm sorry to Yes, there
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: you sometimes, man, I don't know. Now. I can see
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: I can see them win in both games of Detroit
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: and not even coming back. They're just there's something.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm predicting. Yeah, what's gonna happen?
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Happy Monday.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Thanks good all right, Greg, thank you Seahawks. Inside of
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Greg Mell joining us right here on Chugging Bug in
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: the morning. All right, Factor fiction coming up at seven
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: thirty five. We'll also talk about a really pivotal moment
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: that felt eerily the same on Saturday and Sunday for
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson. That's coming up next. Sports Radio ninety three
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: point three kJ r f M. So it'll just be
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: isolated Hugh mel and we're gonna go iso on him
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: nice yeah, from eight to nine, as he'll break down
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: your Seahawks loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers yesterday out
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: at Loomin thirty eight to thirty five. But plenty to
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: talk about, that's for sure. But of course, Mariners, we've
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: just scratched the surface this morning on this topic, and
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: the ABC's of the MS will allow us to journey
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: preps into a couple different different directions. We left off
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: of the letter H on Friday. H is for homers.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Hora Polonko mustling up against Trek's schooble. Where would we
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: be without Hora Polanco's homers yesterday? Oh, thank goodness, thank
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: goodness all a Belaga has he had?
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean thank god he's been that they
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: brought him back after last year's subpar season, because he's been.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: He's been a godsend for for this team the entire season.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Holanders said, this H is for Hollander. He said, I
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: don't know if I could live with because he almost
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: went HS for Houston, He almost went to the Astros.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine that I'd wanted Horay Polanco for years
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: finally get him. He has a bad year for us,
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: we would have let him go.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: He goes to.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Houston and probably is the difference in the American League West. Yeah, yeah,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: that would be so many yeah yeah, And it was close.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: It was close to happening.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I know that was the team that he was talking to,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and he actually wanted to come back and redeem himself.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't feel good about the way they played last year.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Battle on injuries and just couldn't get out of basically
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: a season long funk that he was in. So yeah,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: he comes back this year, has to battle with injuries
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: right off the bat and you know, not being able
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: to hit right handed for whatever reason was going on
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: with his side. And yet yesterday a couple bombs right
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: handed against the best lefty in the game right now,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: one of the best pitchers period.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Uh, And it's just you're gonna have to do that.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Like going into the game, it kind of felt like,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: all right, who's going yard today, somebody's got to run
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: into one. He's not perfect. He'll still make mistakes, just
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: like any pitcher will. It's the difference between a guy
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: like that going eight innings and shutting you out and
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: winning the ballgame is whether or not you have somebody
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: that capitalizes on the mistake, and he made a couple
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of mistakes to him and made I think it was
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a slider the first pitch, and he and he's he's
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: got a good swing or hey. They bring that professional
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: aspect where he stays in the zone a long time.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: That's why he uses the entire field. And you have
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: to have that against a guy like Terrek School because
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: all this stuff is hard and it has crazy movement,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: and so you're not going to arrive perfectly on time
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: very often. If you can stay in the zone longer, Now,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: if that slider hits a big part of the plate,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: you have a good chance of barrowing it up. He
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: does that with the first one and then comes back
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: and then turns on another one for that second home run.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: And that it felt like breathing room. It felt like
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the breathing room that he needed. Yeah, I mean it
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: felt like I mean, I just felt I was doing
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: math with Ian Furness up there.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I said, you know what, right now, if we can
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: get one more, well take his shoes off so kind
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: of stowes.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Uh uh, nope, nope, I said, I feel good right
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: now with the way that this is setting up for
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: our bullpen, and you know the back end of our bullpen.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: But I'd feel twice as good if we could get
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: another run here. See that's the math I was doing
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: really so like two.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: He kept it to two if you had to go
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: on to eleven or more. I brought this up to Bucky.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I have not brought it up to Ashley or on
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: this morning show. But you know what probably Bucky and
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: I get the most grief for, and we take a
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: lot of grief for our Mariners analysis, is when we
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: talk about it being a long season. Okay, that's probably
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: what we get the most grief for here in our analysis. Well,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: if Horry Polonko is not an example, and we talked
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: about this last night with the postgame show of how
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: long of a season earlier this year he could not
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: hit against left handed pitchers. They wouldn't allow it, no
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: matter how bad the left handed pitcher was. Horriy Polanka
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: was killing right handers, and yet because of his injury,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: if a left he came into the game, we would
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: take him out of the game and that lasted for
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: about a month. That's how we dealt with Horray Polanco
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: in our lives and then what happens in the most
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: important game of the year to date. He hits two
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: homers right handed off of the best left handed pitcher
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: in the world. And that's not a long season. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: don't know what is.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: It's like he had like five seasons within a season.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: It is true, But I would say, also, H is
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: for Hallelujah, thank you for Jorge. Yes, I is for induce.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: What do you think, gang, do we induce missus Naylor?
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Let's just get this baby out of the way so
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: we don't have to worry about it Tuesday and Wednesday?
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Is that what we do with our sports love? We
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: just we induced labor?
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if this was a good idea,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: but I did send her an edible arrangement that was
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: laced with potosin. Yeah, we'll just go ahead and get
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: this show on the road, because Naylor's a guy that
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: we're gonna need to be Josh Naylor if you want
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: to you want this ride, this roller coaster of a
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: postseason to go, you know, deep into the month. He's
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: gonna have to be contributing.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I went back and looked at all of his at
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: bats yesterday, and there's one where he was swinging outside
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the zone, which we've watched basically for the two months
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: we've had him, and he doesn't do that very often.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: He's professional hitter. He understands what the strikes.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: One is. He came out of the zone once against Google,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: which will happen. It's a lefty on lefty matchup. He's
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: nasty against anybody he throws against. And when you're kind
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: of in a funk, you're not really seeing the ball
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: all that well, and you have to go against him,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna probably have a stinker ab somewhere on there.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: But there's a couple others that he put good swings on,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: just not quite staying through it. He's getting a little
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: bit pole happy. It seems like he's a pole hitter.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that can hook that outside pitch and
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: hit it in the gap or out of the yard.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: But I still feel good about what this guy brings
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: to the table. But I think if you just how
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: many times do you hear it?
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the broadcasting, Oh so and so his
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: wife had a baby yesterday and they throw for six touchdowns?
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Are they end up hitting three bombs? It's all of
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: a sudden Yeah, some dad strength. So I think getting
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: that off of his mind a little bit and just
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: being like, Okay, she's okay versus having it in the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: back of his head could be helpful. So that's what
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I did for the team, because that's I'm a team guy.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I'll just help induce the Okay, Okay, all right? Yeah, hey,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: welcome to Seattle.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I gave her permission after the game yesterday,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: like now would be a great time flight Arizona and
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: be back in Detroit by Tuesday.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think this is a nice little window
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: for that would work out perfectly. Finally, Jays for journey,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Bucky and I are going on a journey where we
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: are going on the road. This is can be officially
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: announced starting today. We're flopping flopping hopping on a flight
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: to Detroit after our show today. And so when we
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: told you we're going to do a postgame show after
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: every single Marin or playoff game this year, we were serious.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: So we will be in Detroit, Michigan the next couple
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: of nights to deliver our postgame show right here at
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM and do the
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: morning show as well. So a little double duty for
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: you throughout the postseason from Bucky and myself, so hopefully
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: you're checking it out. We got a lot of nice
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: compliments last night on the show that we did, including
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: from gas Man sent one out, so were it all
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: makes it worthwhile when people listen and are appreciative of it,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: and so we'll do the double duty for you and
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: you just keep on listening, all right, Hugh Mellin's next
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. All right, we
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: got some Mariner stock coming away in the nine o'clock hour.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: We'll go all Mariners nine o'clock. Ryan Healy's gonna join
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: us at nine thirty. We'll break down the weekend for
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: you there. But of course we're doing a little Monday
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: morning quarterback session as well, or QB one. Hugh Millan
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: is with us for this hour. We've gotten through the
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: porous defense portion of this hour, and now let's talk
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: about our quarterback, who was brilliant yesterday. Twenty eight completions,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: thirty four attempts, three hundred and forty one passing yards,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: four touchdowns, but then a costly interception at the end
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: of the game, which you know, destroyed a drive in
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: any chance of winning the game. Sam was great Hugh yesterday.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: How much blame do we have to put on him
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: for that pick and a crucial moment? Well, I think
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: there's some blamed for sure. We'll get to that.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: I think in the postgame show, you know, you see
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: it live and then you see the the replay.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: And I think Trent Green is a really good guy.
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: I think he's very thin in his analysis. And you know,
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: the way they showed it, it looked like there was
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: a cream off the buccaneer helmet and and you know
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: he was intending to go to point A to point
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: B and and so I think that had it not
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: hit the Buccaneers helmet, I think that he dirts the
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: ball lands on the ground. It was second and one
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: fifty eight seconds remaining, and you're trying to go down
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: and get a field goal, right, and but you know
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: a couple of things going on there from a quarterback perspective.
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: If I if I'll take you into what the quarterback
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: meeting room would look like. It squeezed formations where you
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: had a coup cup down in close to the left
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: tackle cross that there, there's there's a four down lineman,
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: and then there's four second layer defenders. The protection that
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: Seattle was in was is a very common protection where
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: you basically say, hey, we got we got a six
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: man protection. We're gonna send the center to the right
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: and the back sharbonet is gonna who's lined up on
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: the left, he has he has the any blitzer off
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: the left side. And so in that in that protection,
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: you you definitely think of it like I got three
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: strong and I got three week.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: So if they bring four strong or four week.
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: I got trouble, got me and so and and so
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: the weak side would be in this case would be
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: Darnold's left side, the side to the running back because
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: the tight end is to the right even though he's
• 52:48
  Speaker 7: not blocking. So so so I'm just saying how we
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: would talk in a quarterback meeting room. Okay, we got three,
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: we got three week handled, we got four. We we
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: can't handle four week. They they they blitzed, you know,
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: a veteran safety coming off the edge, and that constitutes
• 53:05
  Speaker 7: for a week. And so now you say you got
• 53:08
  Speaker 7: to throw it to You got to throw the to
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: the hot to the side of where they're blitzing, because
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: it can get really dangerous to say, well, I've got
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: four week but I'm gonna throw the hot away. I'm
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: gonna turn my eyes away from that. That is generally
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: not how your coach. So so darnold. He said he
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: could have thrown it to Horton out out on an
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: out route to the right side. That's true. And if
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: a guy comes from depth, there are times you can
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: break the rule. It's like eye before e except after C. Right,
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: you've heard that, Well, there's a ton of words that
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: that break that rule. I'll give you one science, So
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: let's break down the science of this play. Had Tory
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: Hart Horton, he is playing with his inside leg back,
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: so on his speed out it's either you know what,
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: usually it's You're inside leg is forward, and it's either
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: a four step or six step out. Like I'd said
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: a Mecca book on that six step out out and up,
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: it's a gray area, Chuck Buck that if you have
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: a five step speed out, whether I can recognize I
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: have pressure off my left, but I'm gonna throw to
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: wide open receiver. The Buccaneers are gonna three D three
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: under zone, and so trying to throw to Horton, Then
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: what happens if he gets ear hold and he's looking behind.
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, you already had a situation a fumble against
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: the forty nine ers where Donald was looking to his left.
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: Now it wasn't a blitz. It wasn't on Donald. Abe
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: Lucas got forklift. And I don't understand how people can
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: blame that on Sam Darnold. He's in the process of throwing.
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: If his hand gets hit, He's not a running back.
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: You don't hold him to the same standard of a
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: running back that he fumbled. To say that he choked
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: at the end of that game. I mean, I'm just
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna wear out my foreward with my palm on
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: that assertion. But again to the point of you want
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: to be throwing into the pressure, and so Cooper Cup
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: he runs a little And by the way, nice job
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: of designing by the Buccaneers. They take a page out
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: of Mike McDonald's play. Because the guy who's on if
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: again quarterback meeting room, Sam, Who's who's the curl flat
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: defender on our left?
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: We got three deep three under it.
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: Coral flat is is is shallowing to my left, curl
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: flat shallowing to the right, and then we got a
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: hook zone defender in the middle. Those are the three
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: shallow defenders. The curl flat player to my left, Donald's left.
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: He started from the b gap on on on the
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: right side of the and so the DeVante David is
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: on my right.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: But he's buzzing out all the way to look, that's
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's stuff right there.
• 55:48
  Speaker 7: And and so he gets to a spot he jams
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: up Cooper Cup. I thought Cup should have you know,
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: he knew it was a blitz. He should have not
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: tried to get more depth. So he tried to go
• 55:59
  Speaker 7: up the field at the time David. By the way
• 56:01
  Speaker 7: David grabbed his shoulder should have been uh uh. Defensive
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: holding shouldn't be like like that. Official will get a minus,
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: a double minus because he missed that the lavonte Dort
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: just yanked. He materially impeded his progress. So at any rate,
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: So now Darnald is coming up. He's just trying to
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: dirt the ball and he throws it and it's just
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: you know what, sometimes, as I said last night in
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: the post game, philosophically, you have to decide his luck
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: part of sports and and and how do you feel
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: about luck? His luck part of baseball is luck part
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: of golf, like like you you you know you at
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: the British Open, you you miss uh clearing the bunker
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: by six inches. They were to roll fine, but you
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: plug it, you know, six inches below like like you said,
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: well it's a bad shot. Well it's also a little
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: bit unlucky, right, like, so where does luck play? Sam
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: Donald had the ball kareem off that he was throwing
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: it to point A in space, and the kareem off
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: the helmet caused the ball to go to point B
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: and I think it was enough to mean an interception.
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: But there's a lot going on there. I tried to
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: describe some of the elements. But from a quarterback perspective,
• 57:15
  Speaker 7: he's gonna say, well, I wish I would have directed
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: a different protection. But guess what. There was the threat
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: because of the squeeze formation. There was a thread of
• 57:24
  Speaker 7: four week to the left side, and there was a
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: thread of four strong. So if he had to handle that,
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: if you knew in the aftermath that they were gonna
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: run that blitzwell you'd say, I'm gonna call my protection
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: where I put my center to the left and my
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: back to the left. Now I can handle four week,
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: but I but I cannot handle three strong to the right.
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: If I can't handle three strong, obviously they're only you know,
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: my right guard and right tackle. That's my two on
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: my right. But I can't handle another one. That's that
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: would be Monday Morning Quarterback. Say, Sam, you should have
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: said sent the center and a running back to the
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: left side, because then you could have handled the four weeks. Well,
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: guess what, they could have ran three strong. They could
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: have ran four strong, and then you'd add the same
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: problem right just on a different side. So you know,
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: it's just kind of one of those things that happens
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: in ball, and it happened at the wrong time for CP.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. Otherwise he was just tremendous.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: More on the quarterbacks in our final segment of Monday
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Morning Quarterback Today, coming up on the other side, Hume
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Millin with a Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Well,
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: the Mariners they get a split over the weekend. I
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: mean it could have been better. Oh they could have
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: been worse. Chuck Powell, Bucky Jacobs, and Ashley Ryan with
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: you here on this Monday. Normally we're Monday Morning quarterbacking
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: all day long, but certainly we make an exception when
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: the Mariners are in the American League Divisional Series and
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: are coming off their first home playoff win in a
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: quarter century and joining us now to celebrate it, to
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: analyze it, and who knows what else to it. Ryan Heay,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: is this former Mariner right here on the programmer, You're
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: going to be hearing a lot from throughout this Mariner
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: playoff run. Good morning, sir, Good morning. How are we
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: doing today?
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: We're doing all right. So yeah, how you feeling? I mean,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: it felt like everybody was counting on that win on
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Saturday and maybe not counting on it in Sunday. And
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: there's baseball for you, Ryan Healey, As you know, you
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: still come out with a one to one wash out
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: of all of it. But it was a strange way
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: to get there.
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that wasn't the script that we had written before
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: that series started, to say the least. I definitely end
• 59:38
  Speaker 8: a pit in my stomach after the Saturday game they
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: lost in extras and then coming back, it just felt
• 59:43
  Speaker 8: kind of like a perfect storm or a perfect challenge
• 59:45
  Speaker 8: for this team. If the dream and the goal truly
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: is to get to the World Series and win a championship,
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: you have to go through pitchers like Scooble so to
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: find a way to beat them. I was actually really
• 59:55
  Speaker 8: impressed with the way that they navigated that game, the
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: way that different players within that lineup put pressure on him.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: And then obviously Jorge Polanco just with the two blast
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 8: what and unsung hero that decided to show up really
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 8: big for a squad.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a great couple of AB's there. I mean, you're
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: just not gonna get a ton of mistakes out of
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: schoobl That's why he's gonna probably have another Cy Young
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: sitting on a mantle somewhere. But yeah, he didn't made
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: a mistake with a slider the first time, came back
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: and gave him a heater over the heart, and he
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: capitulates on that as well. I mean, how how tough
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: is that when the pressure is on you're going against
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: a dude that's that good to kind of be that
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: that locked in and focused to not miss that mistake
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: when he threw it.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 8: The pressure can be a fickle thing because you have
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 8: to imagine what Scooball was feeling as well. He's pitching
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 8: in his hometown where he went to college down the
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 8: street in a massive playoff game where the expectation is
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 8: him for him to be perfect, and that had to
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 8: have crossed the Mariner's mind at some point of yeah,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: we can feel all this pressure. We're download to one
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 8: where things facing the best pitcher in Major League Baseball,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: but he has a ton of pressure on him to
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: be perfect, and baseball is the furthest thing from perfect.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 8: And we saw him make two mistakes last night that
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: got punished. That's what has to happen against the best
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 8: pitcher in the game. You have to punish mistakes. He
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: threw a two oz slider that caught too much of
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 8: the plate to Planco, and then Polanco battled a tremendous
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 8: at bat. He spit on two change ups down on
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: the zone and then he got a fastball. It was in,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 8: but it was not up enough and Scooble rarely misses
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 8: that upper end quadrant of the right handed hitters, and
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 8: he just got enough of the heart of the plate
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: where Planco was able to click. It's the left and
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 8: that was probably a more impressive bat to me than
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 8: the first home run that he hit.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Ryan Healy is with us. We're leaning on him heavily
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: throughout the postseason for his analysis here of the Mariners
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: playoff run. I'll stay in the batter's box with you.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: I'll put you in Julio Rodriguez's shoes. There in the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: bottom of the eighth he comes through with the game winner.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: What did you see there?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: I saw a hitter that knew what the shape of
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: the splitter was because he faced the night before. And
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 8: if you think about this, there are a series out
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 8: the course of the year. Will you do a home
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: and away against a team that's in essential to the
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 8: east that you play a lot and you'll see their
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 8: bullpen back to back weeks, okay, but back to back
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: night seeing the same arm with his best secondary pitch
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 8: being the splitter. He knew exactly what window that pitch
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: needed to start in to end up in his zone.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: And the commitment that Julio had on that pitch.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: If you saw the finish, it was almost one handed
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 8: to contact and then the length after contact which allowed
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: that ball to get up and over the third basement.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: That is a dream scenario for a right handed hitter
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: facing a right handed pitcher with the nasty splitter. You're
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: not gonna drive that baseball really hard to back spin
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 8: it so to be able to stay through that and
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 8: dreg drive in the game winning run ultimately was tremendous.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: The emotion you saw from him at second base after
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: that and then also in centerfield when the game was done.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Wash, it got my heart going.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: How'd you like the I mean, Dan's decision? It obviously
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: paid off yesterday when they brought Gabe in to face
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: carry Carpenter. The night before they didn't they left Georgia
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: and there didn't make a bad pitch, just a better
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: swing by him. But he basically changes that. Did that
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: seem like a yeah, that maybe cost us and by
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: not pulling the trigger on this one yesterday, we're not
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: gonna do that because he came in there and absolutely
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: shut it down right there.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 8: You know, I listened to aj Hinch talk about this
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: post game as well, and this was a conversation pre series.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 8: Was that was the matchup, the fact that they had
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 8: two lefties in the bullpen between Spyre and Ferguson, of
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 8: how they were going to utilize them and deploy them
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 8: because they do platoon Carpenter. But I'll be honest with
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: you guys, when I watch Kerry Carpenter the batter's box
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 8: right now, every single pitch. I feel threatened just with
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 8: the takes, the competitive swings he is. He is spitting
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 8: on really nasty pitches right now. So I thought that
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: I love Dan's aggression of let me pull let me
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: pull him out here and let me challenge him with
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 8: the lefty to see how he responds, because maybe we
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 8: get Carpenter out of the game for the rest of it.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 8: And aj Hinch said postgame he was I left him
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: in there because of how much game was left. And
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 8: if you remember, Carpenter came up late in the game
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: as well, ended up punching out in the back door slider,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: but had a very competitive at bat and I was
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 8: nervous the entire time. So I love the cat and mouth.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 8: So I think that matchup with the two lefty is
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: gonna be really important the entire series.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: What is it about, you know, a major league or
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: just loving to face a team. Did you have a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: team like that? I mean, he loves to face the Marinader.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Did you have a team like that when you played
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: like Man, I want to play the Padres. I own
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: the Padres.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're not gonna like this answer, but I love
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 8: facing the Mariners. When I played for the It's part
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 8: of the reason why they traded for me, just getting
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 8: a partner together.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Then they're gonna.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Trade for Carpenter. Bring him over there if you can't,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: if you can't beat him, doing him.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: I guess.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: But there is something to it. I don't know if
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: it's the background. I mean, there aren't many people who
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: feel like they're at their best against our pitching, and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: this guy is one of them.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he looks comfortable in the batter's box, but I
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: also feel like he's looked comfortable all year long. He
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 8: hadn't a bat late in the season, down the stretch
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: in September where he hit a game tying home run
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 8: the ninth inning. I believe it was against the Guardians,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 8: and it was dead center in Comerica Park, which is
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: a big boy park. He just looks, he looks right
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 8: now and they need that bat. But to the contrary point,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 8: I hope that he really struggles the rest of this series.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: With all the respect so advantage Mariners.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like this is where you start
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: getting deeper into a series and then you get to
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: keep running guys that could be number ones on a
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: lot of different you know, starting staffs, and so you
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: get to run who was our opening day starter out
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: there game three against somebody that is not their ace. Obviously,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: nobody's gonna be the ace win. You got Terrek Skoogl
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: on the team. But does it feel like it's advantage.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: It's one to one obviously, so there's no real advantage.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: But to me, it feels like we're more in line,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: do what we do and that'll take care of business.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 8: I think the Mariners have had the advantage this entire series,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 8: though maybe they haven't played like it. But also when
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: we talked originally last Friday, we said how evenly matched
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 8: this team was in all three major facets of the game.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 8: That has showing up a ton in the first two games.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 8: So I don't expect this to be in a lopsided series.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 8: I expect this to be highly competitive. Who's going to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 8: make the least amount of mistakes and who's going to
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: execute their plan to perfect But if we're looking at
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 8: Gilbert first Flairty, I'm excited to watch Gilbert perform. I
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: do hope that we can get a little bit of offense
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 8: early because we've seen the strength of our bullpen. But
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 8: I don't think we need to watch any more extrating
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 8: games during the postseason.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you weren't in the building over the weekend,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: but you've been in that building before, and you've been
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: in it when it gets electric. But could you sense it?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Could you get an idea of just what you were
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: missing out on by not being at T Mobile lest
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of nights. I'm glad you asked that.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 8: I actually work with a about thirty to forty high
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 8: school players, and a bunch of them are local in Arizona.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 8: One is up in Seattle, was at the game yesterday
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 8: and he sent me a video of his seats of
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 8: the game just ending, and he told me, he said,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: simply best game I've ever been to.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: And you could feel it.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 8: There was grown men crying in the stands that they
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 8: were showing on the camera. The emotion was massive, and
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 8: you can tell what this win meant for this city.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 8: And I hope that, I hope that this club just
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 8: continues to take monkeys off their backs, that they go
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 8: down this because they're carrying twenty four year years of
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 8: history with them, and the further they go, the more
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 8: and more they can separate themselves from that history and
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 8: they can make them wrong this year.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: All right, man, great stuff. We're really getting excited about
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: our Ryan Healey conversations these days. So we'll bug you
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: again after game three and game number four coming up
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: and can't wait, can't wait. All right, therea is Ryan
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Healey former Marin are joining us here and we'll be
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: having Ryan on after every single playoff game this postseason,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: and hopefully we go the entire I hope we talked
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: to Ryan Heally a lot. Yeah, it's my point.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to be BFFs by the end of
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: this month. We'll be BFFs.

• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: get ready to go on the road. By the way,
• 1:07:51

• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: thought we were kidding. Bucky and I are heading to
