- 1:13Speaker 1: back again now that cal Raley has decided I'm better
- 1:16Speaker 1: without her. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's the thing though, Yeah,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I think it is. I means missus jinks, missus superstition. Yeah,
- 1:26Speaker 1: you know, she's married to these things. She's not even
- 1:28Speaker 1: miss Superstition. No, no, no, she got married to superstition. Yeah.
- 1:33Speaker 1: They have three really nervous children, her and mister Superstition,
- 1:39Speaker 1: and they live at a really real strange world. Rent
- 1:44Speaker 1: free okay, yeah, rent free. I mean she's got her
- 1:47Speaker 1: mortgage in her normal life with five Iron and Palmer
- 1:49Speaker 1: the Great and the Bunch. But no, her and mister
- 1:53Speaker 1: Superstition have lived a separate life for a long time
- 1:57Speaker 1: and they are the ones that are deeply in love,
- 2:00Speaker 1: no question about it. And so if you're going to
- 2:02Speaker 1: marry yourself to that kind of lifestyle, people are gonna judge.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when cal Rawley hits three home runs without
- 2:10Speaker 1: you and looks like he's fixed things while you're in Hawaii.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah, not to mention Julio home run as well. Yeah, well,
- 2:16Speaker 3: well she's more of a cow fan, fair enough. Yeah,
- 2:19Speaker 3: So I didn't know if it was considering all the
- 2:21Speaker 3: Mariners or with Cara.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I think it's just cal Rawley. He's fixed the key
- 2:26Speaker 1: to everything. Here we go, cal Raley's on board, and
- 2:31Speaker 1: Ashley Superstition must stay Herrass and MAUI welcome into the
- 2:36Speaker 1: radio show. Anders Hurst is here. My name is Chuck
- 2:39Speaker 1: Powell and thank you for not wearing your cracking hat today,
- 2:41Speaker 1: because I thought about that when I was putting mine
- 2:44Speaker 1: on this morning. I love that hat. I'm just wearing
- 2:46Speaker 1: a lot more hats these days. I think it's because
- 2:49Speaker 1: I'm grown out this crazy beard. I don't have the
- 2:53Speaker 1: I want to put some of that you know, juice
- 2:56Speaker 1: in it, the mean like the you know that jel
- 2:59Speaker 1: and ball beard balm. Yeah, but I have yet to
- 3:03Speaker 1: purchase it. But uh, you know, I just need to
- 3:06Speaker 1: clean it up one more time, I think, and then
- 3:09Speaker 1: I should be there at an official you know silver Beard.
- 3:12Speaker 1: There you go at this stage. But until I get
- 3:15Speaker 1: it to the stage I wanted in, it just looks
- 3:18Speaker 1: better with a hat on. And now we're on YouTube,
- 3:20Speaker 1: so I got to worry about things.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Like, yeah, yeah, you can't just show up and you know,
- 3:24Speaker 3: have hairs coming out everywhere. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Not yet, you don't. You will. It's inevitable. That's fair
- 3:35Speaker 1: because there you do reach a certain age at one
- 3:37Speaker 1: point where you do have hairs coming out of everything.
- 3:40Speaker 3: And I don't know why that is, but it happens. Yeah,
- 3:44Speaker 3: it's real. It's a real thing, nailing out of me.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Let's go yeah, I don't know.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to have some sort of purpose.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I just don't I think that whatever that purpose was,
- 3:57Speaker 1: it got lost. And yeah, and some at some point
- 4:02Speaker 1: they knew what the purpose was. And there I mean,
- 4:04Speaker 1: maybe they took their nose hair and their eyebrow hair
- 4:07Speaker 1: and they made mittens for the kids. There you go.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 4:10Speaker 4: During the cold winters they needed some sort of heat
- 4:15Speaker 4: source and they couldn't get their hands on sheep.
- 4:18Speaker 1: That's true.
- 4:19Speaker 4: So grown men just grew out hairs and other regions,
- 4:24Speaker 4: you know, and they decided to make woolens out of them.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe it was a sign for the females. You
- 4:33Speaker 1: never know. Baby, how do you like your new back
- 4:37Speaker 1: hair blanket?
- 4:38Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 4:39Speaker 1: How's that? How's oh? Snuggled up? I see by the fire?
- 4:43Speaker 1: Be careful?
- 4:44Speaker 3: Is that what Jed York said to his uh maybe yeah,
- 4:48Speaker 3: his escort, I think, so would you want some back
- 4:51Speaker 3: hair blanket?
- 4:52Speaker 1: Baby? Baby? Interest you in some back hair blanket? Bingo?
- 4:59Speaker 1: Damn good, damn good?
- 5:01Speaker 2: Oh?
- 5:01Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know what the purpose of that is,
- 5:03Speaker 1: but it does happen. Ear hair. Hey, Hey, how's your
- 5:08Speaker 1: ear hair muff? Over there? Can you hear? Well, if so,
- 5:13Speaker 1: not enough any more hair. All right, So we are
- 5:17Speaker 1: underway here on this Tuesday. I will map out for
- 5:20Speaker 1: you what's on tap here in a little bit. But
- 5:23Speaker 1: let us start with the Mariners, who did win last
- 5:26Speaker 1: night over the Philadelphia Phillies. And I mean, let this
- 5:29Speaker 1: strange season continue. I mean it is. I mean it's
- 5:32Speaker 1: going to take the cake, folks. Look, it already has. Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 1: it absolutely has, and so it certainly shouldn't end. And
- 5:42Speaker 1: it's about time. Certainly the team is due, the fan
- 5:45Speaker 1: base is due for some weird good luck on the
- 5:48Speaker 1: season or good fortune. I don't want to call anything
- 5:52Speaker 1: luck last night. I think the team earned that. I agree.
- 5:55Speaker 1: You know, you're facing the hottest team in the National League,
- 6:00Speaker 1: a very good, experienced team which has its own goals
- 6:03Speaker 1: in mind. They're still I mean, they're going to make
- 6:05Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they're still wanting the ones seed in
- 6:09Speaker 1: the playoffs over the Dodgers and the Braves and the Brewers,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and they got a shot at that the way that
- 6:13Speaker 1: they've played. They've won nine straight games. They're healthy right now,
- 6:17Speaker 1: which a lot of veteran teams at this point in
- 6:19Speaker 1: the season are not. Zach Wheeler who came off of
- 6:22Speaker 1: the shelf at the beginning of the season and was untouchable,
- 6:27Speaker 1: and he hasn't been since the All Star breaks. Since
- 6:29Speaker 1: he complained about not making the All Star team. He
- 6:31Speaker 1: hasn't been an All Star and so we did catch
- 6:35Speaker 1: him not at his best lately, and I don't think
- 6:39Speaker 1: that he was last night. But again, they earned this.
- 6:44Speaker 1: They earned a beatdown of a hot team with an
- 6:48Speaker 1: All Star caliber pitcher last night, maybe even beyond that
- 6:53Speaker 1: caliber pitcher and Zach Wheeler last night, and they torched him,
- 6:57Speaker 1: scoring five runs in the first inning, first time they've
- 6:59Speaker 1: done that all all season long, and they rolled to
- 7:02Speaker 1: a nine to two victory, led by the long ball,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and let's face it, led by cal Raley, who hit
- 7:08Speaker 1: three home runs last night. I'm sure you've heard Calllujah. Yeah,
- 7:15Speaker 1: the Lord has risen. I guess just in time for Calloween. Calloween.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Cal Raley seems to have risen from the dead, like
- 7:27Speaker 1: a ghost of Homer's past. I mean, it was such
- 7:30Speaker 1: a big deal. Anders, this is how big a deal is.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Do you want me to really blow your mind? I
- 7:36Speaker 1: want a big deal. Cal Raley's three home run game
- 7:39Speaker 1: was last night.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Go for it.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I always wake up and I put a certain network
- 7:46Speaker 1: on that covers sports, and I just just in case
- 7:51Speaker 1: anything happened overnight, I want to catch the latest breaking news.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's usually a recorded episode. Actually I don't think it
- 7:57Speaker 1: is now they say that out loud coast. Yeah, but
- 8:01Speaker 1: I put this on and then it rolls over into
- 8:05Speaker 1: one of those talking head shows, probably the one that
- 8:08Speaker 1: I can't stand. But while I'm putting on my pants
- 8:12Speaker 1: to come to work and grabbing my keys and everything
- 8:15Speaker 1: else on pants, I do put on pants. Yeah, pretty regularly. Okay,
- 8:19Speaker 1: I will catch sometimes the first minute or two before
- 8:23Speaker 1: I can get out the door of this certain talking
- 8:25Speaker 1: head television sports show hosted by the most overrated guy
- 8:31Speaker 1: in the industry. And believe it or not, I mean,
- 8:38Speaker 1: it would take like Martians to land on second base
- 8:43Speaker 1: for Mike Greenberg to lead with baseball. Yeah, it probably would. Actually,
- 8:49Speaker 1: he won't even lead with a world series if there's
- 8:51Speaker 1: a football if there's a quarterback story involved, like if
- 8:55Speaker 1: Dak Prescott farted in the huddle at Coyleboys' training camp,
- 8:59Speaker 1: that's going to bump up ahead of you know, Yankees
- 9:04Speaker 1: win the World series on that show. Understandable Okay, Yeah, understandable.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Shoe a Otani could hit four home runs off the
- 9:14Speaker 1: ghost of Walter Johnson late night at a Dodgers game
- 9:18Speaker 1: and then get to home plate and magically give birth
- 9:21Speaker 1: to actor Jackie Chan at the plate, and Mike Greenberg
- 9:27Speaker 1: would lead with Aaron Rodgers. Is he getting along with
- 9:31Speaker 1: his new teammates. Yeah, understandable. This is a man who
- 9:39Speaker 1: today without hair gel, which is interesting on his part,
- 9:43Speaker 1: as I'm looking at him right now. Lead with cal
- 9:46Speaker 1: Raley's three home run this show before I could get
- 9:50Speaker 1: out of the door, led his show with cal Raley
- 9:54Speaker 1: hits three home runs in a game. How about that?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Now that now you know what a big deal Cal's
- 10:00Speaker 1: breakout game was last night.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't think it was just a big
- 10:03Speaker 3: deal to uh the four letters, so to speak. It
- 10:08Speaker 3: was a big deal to Mariners too, Like he was.
- 10:11Speaker 3: He looks like a different player at the plate right now.
- 10:13Speaker 3: He's been taking a lot more pitches than and like
- 10:17Speaker 3: his swing decisions have been so much better. And the
- 10:20Speaker 3: biggest thing for me is he's just not missing the
- 10:22Speaker 3: fastball and he's not missing those mistake pitches. So yeah,
- 10:26Speaker 3: I think it's a big deal. I'm not gonna say
- 10:28Speaker 3: he's like full on back just yet. I'm I would
- 10:33Speaker 3: be excited to jump on that train if it's truly there,
- 10:36Speaker 3: but I want to see a little bit more. But
- 10:38Speaker 3: I definitely think that last night was a long time
- 10:42Speaker 3: coming for cal Rawly, and it's something that we've been
- 10:44Speaker 3: waiting to see from him for long.
- 10:45Speaker 1: It's just good to see him happy. Yes, And look,
- 10:48Speaker 1: I do believe that his struggles at the plate have
- 10:52Speaker 1: affected every other aspect of his game, including his challenging
- 10:55Speaker 1: I agree. I think he's doubting everything. I think he's
- 10:59Speaker 1: doubting you know, pitch calls that he's made. I've seen
- 11:02Speaker 1: him get shaken off this year more than I've ever
- 11:04Speaker 1: seen him getting shaken off. I think it's affected him
- 11:07Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Personal life sounds like a
- 11:11Speaker 1: lot of different things that cal Raley's been affected by
- 11:14Speaker 1: with I mean, and that happens, I mean, you think
- 11:17Speaker 1: you've broken through, you think you're doing your job for
- 11:20Speaker 1: your team. He is a team guy. First, I can
- 11:22Speaker 1: promise you that. And then I mean, it's one thing
- 11:25Speaker 1: to be staring at your one sixty batting average for
- 11:27Speaker 1: four straight months. It's another thing to know that one
- 11:30Speaker 1: sixty batting average is letting down the guys in my clubhouse,
- 11:35Speaker 1: is letting down the people that have come to watch
- 11:37Speaker 1: me play baseball, is letting down the organization that paid
- 11:42Speaker 1: me all this money. It wears on you, if you
- 11:46Speaker 1: are a decent human being of that ilk, Yeah, it
- 11:49Speaker 1: wears on you. And I promise you that it's war
- 11:52Speaker 1: on cal Raley. So for him to have that moment
- 11:55Speaker 1: and then to keep it in perspective after the game,
- 12:00Speaker 1: I hope is what we've been waiting for. We've waited
- 12:03Speaker 1: long enough. And look, I'm not saying that all right,
- 12:08Speaker 1: here we go. Here comes a fifteen homer month in
- 12:11Speaker 1: September to carry this team. I mean, we've just seen
- 12:14Speaker 1: too much bad coal this year to think that. And
- 12:18Speaker 1: it's not just been last night. It's been a week
- 12:21Speaker 1: of Okay, that's getting better. It looks better. Yeah, production,
- 12:24Speaker 1: But it was always from the right side, yes, and
- 12:27Speaker 1: last night it was strictly from the left side. But
- 12:31Speaker 1: I will say a couple of things about it. Number one,
- 12:35Speaker 1: and we're gonna have Ryan Heally on today to confirm
- 12:37Speaker 1: or deny this. And Ryan certainly was going on and
- 12:40Speaker 1: on last night about how much different he looks. Those
- 12:44Speaker 1: were some balanced swings man, and that's what we have
- 12:47Speaker 1: not seen out of him this entire year. He was
- 12:50Speaker 1: not late to the ball. When he was making contact,
- 12:53Speaker 1: that body was perfect balance and symmetry. We haven't seen
- 12:57Speaker 1: that all season. We did not see that in the WBC.
- 13:01Speaker 1: He was out of whack at the WBC and has
- 13:03Speaker 1: never gotten in whack. And last night, I mean that
- 13:09Speaker 1: was just that was sixty homer cow last night. The
- 13:15Speaker 1: approaches the bat was not slow, no, the pitch selection,
- 13:20Speaker 1: and then when he did make contact with the ball,
- 13:23Speaker 1: the body was in perfect symmetry. Now can he continue that? Yeah,
- 13:30Speaker 1: there is a chance that he can continue that. I
- 13:33Speaker 1: was asked last week at this stage, just last week,
- 13:36Speaker 1: last Friday, at this stage, would you just play Parada
- 13:40Speaker 1: over cal Raley. I was asked that on these airwaves
- 13:45Speaker 1: and my answer was, of course not because of cal
- 13:51Speaker 1: Raleigh and Johnny Pareda. There's one guy with a chance
- 13:55Speaker 1: to hit twelve home runs in September and his name's
- 13:58Speaker 1: not Johnny Parreeda. And now all of a sudden, a
- 14:02Speaker 1: few days later, it looks like old cal Raleigh is
- 14:06Speaker 1: back for the Seattle Mariners. We can't like run to
- 14:10Speaker 1: Vegas and well, I guess we can uh bad on this. Yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 1: of course you can't. I'm not I'm not sitting here
- 14:18Speaker 1: to go bet your fortune on cal Raleigh over under
- 14:22Speaker 1: September Homers ten and a half take the over. Yeah.
- 14:24Speaker 1: I'm not saying that everything gets magically cured, but I
- 14:28Speaker 1: will say this. You and I talked about this last week.
- 14:32Speaker 1: That's baseball, man, and sometimes you do get magically cured
- 14:38Speaker 1: in this sport, and you never know what it's gonna be.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Who knows what it's gonna be. Who knows what latest
- 14:46Speaker 1: thing that you try, or maybe it's the last thing
- 14:49Speaker 1: that you failed at and a light bulb goes off.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I'm certainly not comparing my sports past in baseball to
- 14:58Speaker 1: a major leaguer and the struggles that they go through,
- 15:01Speaker 1: but I will tell you this, it is vivid in
- 15:03Speaker 1: my memory. The biggest slump that i'd ever gone through
- 15:06Speaker 1: in high school, my manager literally came to me, he'd
- 15:11Speaker 1: already dropped me in the order and he'd done everything else,
- 15:13Speaker 1: literally came to me and said, why don't you try it?
- 15:15Speaker 1: Bunt Like he was like out of ideas. He didn't
- 15:18Speaker 1: have a lot to begin with. But he's just like,
- 15:21Speaker 1: why don't you try it? Bunt ste even get a
- 15:23Speaker 1: bunt hit. I hadn't bunted since I was four. You
- 15:28Speaker 1: bunted on t ball? Uh, I square around for a
- 15:33Speaker 1: bunt and anders that ball popped straight up into the
- 15:37Speaker 1: air over the picture's mound. The picture tripped trying to
- 15:43Speaker 1: run over the mound. Oh, Sir, Anthony Demingez did yep. Yeah.
- 15:46Speaker 1: The first basement, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop all converged
- 15:51Speaker 1: and all of them came within like an inch and
- 15:53Speaker 1: a half of getting there in time. Yeah, and I
- 15:56Speaker 1: got a bunt single. Wow. And do you know that
- 15:59Speaker 1: in my next like ten at bats, I hit three
- 16:02Speaker 1: home runs? Jeezuz. The very next at bat, I hit
- 16:05Speaker 1: one like three hundred and seventy five feet over the
- 16:07Speaker 1: left center field wall. You never know what, Trigg. You
- 16:12Speaker 1: could be as lost as you could be, And for me,
- 16:15Speaker 1: it was I'm a high school kid with a mullet
- 16:18Speaker 1: already making some bad decisions in life. Was the first one.
- 16:22Speaker 1: The mullet right, Not that great of a hitter to
- 16:24Speaker 1: begin with, and completely lost at the art of hitting.
- 16:31Speaker 1: I couldn't figure anything out, and that little bunt triggered
- 16:35Speaker 1: something in me. Suddenly I could see the ball better
- 16:40Speaker 1: four and a half months of bad cow. I mean,
- 16:44Speaker 1: can you bank on it having turned around last night?
- 16:48Speaker 1: Probably not. But this is the one sport where I
- 16:54Speaker 1: don't know what happens. The cabby that cuts in from
- 17:00Speaker 1: one of you and you have a fender bender says,
- 17:04Speaker 1: oh you're cal Raley. You should keep your elbow in.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Who knows what it is that unlocks you. It can
- 17:13Speaker 1: happen in this sport. And last night that looked like
- 17:16Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, obviously by the results he had
- 17:18Speaker 1: three home runs, but just the swings themselves just looked
- 17:22Speaker 1: so confident and so pure, almost like I'd forgotten how
- 17:27Speaker 1: good he looked at the play totally and we got
- 17:30Speaker 1: to see it last night. So I hope it does
- 17:33Speaker 1: unlock him. And if it does unlock him, look out Rangers,
- 17:36Speaker 1: because here we come. Yeah.
- 17:37Speaker 3: I think it can't be understated how important he is
- 17:41Speaker 3: to the rest of the guys too. I don't think
- 17:43Speaker 3: it's a coincidence that in the same the game, Julio
- 17:46Speaker 3: Rodriguez all of a sudden looks far better at the
- 17:49Speaker 3: plate than he has in the last two weeks.
- 17:51Speaker 1: As well.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Josh Naylor gets three hits, including actually, you know, getting
- 17:57Speaker 3: the ball in the air for the first time all year.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Yeah, and you too. It's after wrenching his neck exactly.
- 18:04Speaker 3: So I think it's one thing you can't blame one
- 18:09Speaker 3: guy for the struggles of an entire team, right, but
- 18:11Speaker 3: you can see how much that guy means to the
- 18:14Speaker 3: entire team, not just the hitters, but the pitching staff
- 18:17Speaker 3: as well. So seeing him kind of break out of
- 18:20Speaker 3: his funk almost like gave not just Cal Rawly a
- 18:23Speaker 3: sigh of relief, but everyone's like, oh, okay, the guy
- 18:26Speaker 3: that we lean to when we need something is actually
- 18:29Speaker 3: looking like he can, you know, be a major league
- 18:32Speaker 3: player at this point, a major league hitter. Let's all
- 18:35Speaker 3: just do our own thing now, and we don't have
- 18:36Speaker 3: to try and do more than we need to. So
- 18:40Speaker 3: I think it is has a huge effect on the
- 18:42Speaker 3: rest of the team, well just just the.
- 18:46Speaker 1: High five line. Yeah. Now, granted Cal gets followed more
- 18:50Speaker 1: than anybody. We didn't. I don't think that the cameras
- 18:53Speaker 1: followed Julio all the way. Maybe they did, I don't remember. Yeah,
- 18:56Speaker 1: But because like it was a quenching a thirst last night,
- 19:00Speaker 1: I did watch it, and just the reaction of everybody
- 19:04Speaker 1: and the smile on his face and then the different exchanges.
- 19:10Speaker 1: I mean, I think Pete Woodworth got a tummy tickle.
- 19:14Speaker 1: And then he came turned around and he came back,
- 19:16Speaker 1: and then he got his Bryce Miller thing at the end,
- 19:19Speaker 1: and then he came back and there was Brian Woo
- 19:21Speaker 1: again to greet him, like West and Wilson. This new
- 19:24Speaker 1: thing where he rubs his forearm over his head. That's awesome.
- 19:28Speaker 1: That's something that Ashley would come up with, you know.
- 19:32Speaker 1: So all of that spoke to how valuable he is
- 19:37Speaker 1: to the team. And you're right, they know that. Even
- 19:40Speaker 1: the when the game was over, I stuck around long
- 19:43Speaker 1: enough to watch the high five line again, and what
- 19:47Speaker 1: I loved about it was that nobody like hugged him
- 19:52Speaker 1: or made a big deal at it. There was like
- 19:53Speaker 1: this sli grin, like let's go, let's go. But even
- 19:58Speaker 1: the hitting coaches I waited to see pass Edgar and Kevin,
- 20:02Speaker 1: and he passed Edgar and he passed Kevin and that
- 20:05Speaker 1: was just like this sly little grin and just a
- 20:07Speaker 1: high five. There was no like there nothing beyond that, right,
- 20:12Speaker 1: I hope it's there. I hope it's there. I mean,
- 20:15Speaker 1: he's so easy to root for, and it's been so
- 20:17Speaker 1: long since we've been able to celebrate cal Rawley and
- 20:23Speaker 1: his play. So hopefully this is it. Hopefully he's unlocked.
- 20:28Speaker 1: If he is man it could it could be the
- 20:31Speaker 1: difference between whether or not this disappointing season to this
- 20:34Speaker 1: point ends in disappointment or actually ends in punching that
- 20:39Speaker 1: ticket get into the playoffs and being a dangerous team
- 20:42Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Great to see. Yeah, all right, let's
- 20:45Speaker 1: find out what's on tape. I got your attention.

- 21:03Speaker 1: All right, So, nine two win last night of the
- 21:06Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies. That means that this team has gone four
- 21:10Speaker 1: and two in its last six games against arguably three
- 21:14Speaker 1: of the four best teams in the National League. They've
- 21:17Speaker 1: also scored eleven sixteen, twenty two twenty six thirty three
- 21:21Speaker 1: runs in those six games, so five and a half
- 21:24Speaker 1: runs per game. I'll tell you something about the Seattle Mariners.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Whenever they lose by seventeen runs or more, their offense
- 21:30Speaker 1: is never better than the next day. Eight runs per game. Yeah,
- 21:35Speaker 1: when they lose by seventeen runs or more, what a stat.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Let's just lose by seventeen runs once every three days.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Nobody's done that. I can promise you that the ms
- 21:46Speaker 1: are sixty three and sixty nine, still a gross record
- 21:49Speaker 1: that if you think about it and in its entirety,
- 21:51Speaker 1: you want to vomit on the table. But three back
- 21:55Speaker 1: of Texas now, who moved into first place last night?
- 21:59Speaker 1: The Astros were idol last night. Rangers played Day one,
- 22:02Speaker 1: so a three game deficit. Still in the American League West,
- 22:06Speaker 1: they still chase both of those teams. It'll be George
- 22:09Speaker 1: Kirby tonight against Aaron Nola of the Philadelphia Phillies. First
- 22:12Speaker 1: pitches at six forty, and it does sound like Brian
- 22:15Speaker 1: Wu will pitch on Wednesday to fill in that hole
- 22:20Speaker 1: right now in the old TBD column. It's a good sign.
- 22:23Speaker 1: It looks like Wo will play. JP Crawford might return tonight.
- 22:27Speaker 1: We'll talk about that a little later in the show.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Colt Emerson won't return at all. He had surgery. My goodness,
- 22:34Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was to that degree, but he
- 22:36Speaker 1: had surgery. So he's going to miss the rest of
- 22:40Speaker 1: the season. We won't have Colt here to close out
- 22:43Speaker 1: the year. We'll talk about that later in the show.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Final preseason game for the Seahawks is coming up Friday
- 22:48Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs. Greg Bell will join us
- 22:50Speaker 1: at seven oh five. We got Hard Knocks tonight, another
- 22:53Speaker 1: episode that will air on HBO forty nine. Ers another
- 22:57Speaker 1: embarrassing story their owner. He's been arrested for prostitution. Okay,
- 23:04Speaker 1: there you go, nice work. Jet. Deshaun Watson has chosen
- 23:07Speaker 1: over Shador Sanders as the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns
- 23:11Speaker 1: college football Huskies. Camp continues. We are twelve days from
- 23:15Speaker 1: the Apple Cup. The Cougs named their starter for the
- 23:18Speaker 1: upcoming season at least game number one. It's transfer Cayden
- 23:21Speaker 1: Pennock who will get the start for the Coogs as
- 23:25Speaker 1: their QB one. And so we'll talk about all of
- 23:28Speaker 1: these things before the show comes to a close. But
- 23:30Speaker 1: more on the Mariners win last night over the Phillies.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Mariners Morning After comes your way next on Sports Radio
- 23:36Speaker 1: ninety three point three KRFM. This is Mariner's Morning After.
- 23:42Speaker 1: It doesn't sound anything like it, but it is all
- 23:44Speaker 1: right our Mariners postgame show where we deliver for you
- 23:48Speaker 1: a highlight, a SoundBite, a preview of what's to night
- 23:50Speaker 1: after every Mariners game. Mariners Warning After all Right, Well,
- 23:55Speaker 1: Mariner's taking on the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies were the
- 23:58Speaker 1: hottest team in baseball coming in. They had won nine
- 24:01Speaker 1: straight games. They're starting to secure their spot. They're very
- 24:05Speaker 1: comfortable spot in the Major League Baseball playoffs. A veteran
- 24:09Speaker 1: team that had been winning in all sorts of ways,
- 24:13Speaker 1: especially with the bats here as of late. Could you
- 24:17Speaker 1: keep them in check? Last night with Logan Gilbert on
- 24:20Speaker 1: the mound, you felt pretty good about that. What you
- 24:23Speaker 1: might not have felt good about is facing Zach Wheeler,
- 24:26Speaker 1: one of the better, if not one of the best,
- 24:28Speaker 1: starting pitchers in all of Major League Baseball. But lo
- 24:32Speaker 1: and behold, leave it to the weird ass Mariners to
- 24:36Speaker 1: fall behind one to nothing. And don't tell me it
- 24:38Speaker 1: didn't cross your mind. Oh it did, absolutely did. You
- 24:41Speaker 1: were sitting there thinking, huh, can we score two? That's
- 24:46Speaker 1: what crossed your mind. Yeah, don't tell me. From the
- 24:50Speaker 1: end of the first inning to the beginning of the
- 24:52Speaker 1: second inning, it crossed your mind, can we scratch out
- 24:54Speaker 1: two runs?
- 24:55Speaker 3: Well, when Logan stuggled to get it out in that
- 24:57Speaker 3: first inning and he walked the not walk, the basis
- 24:59Speaker 3: lo but it got the bases loaded with like one out.
- 25:02Speaker 3: I believe it was at that point I was like,
- 25:04Speaker 3: are we going to use a position player pitch again?
- 25:07Speaker 1: But that is really dark. Well he was like at
- 25:10Speaker 1: thirty pitches almost in that first it is it was like, ugh, right, well,
- 25:15Speaker 1: it wasn't real efficient last night. But it turns out
- 25:18Speaker 1: that's the only thing that really went wrong for Mariners,
- 25:21Speaker 1: because within the first three batters of the bottom of
- 25:24Speaker 1: the first inning, they had a three one lead over
- 25:27Speaker 1: Wheeler and the Phillies thanks to a Julio Rodriguez home run,
- 25:31Speaker 1: and then before the end of the inning, cal Raley
- 25:35Speaker 1: went deep to make it five to one Mariners at
- 25:38Speaker 1: that point and we could hardly believe our eyes. And
- 25:42Speaker 1: so that was the tone setter for the game. That's
- 25:45Speaker 1: how the game would go. And cal Raley just kept
- 25:49Speaker 1: hitting dingers. He had a second home run in the contest,
- 25:54Speaker 1: and then in his last at bat is fourth at
- 25:56Speaker 1: bat of the night. Guess what he did again? Football
- 26:01Speaker 1: right field, hot catlets the Cats. It's a three horver game,
- 26:08Speaker 1: cal Rally. Cal Raley jumps his homer total to seventeen,
- 26:16Speaker 1: getting on the verge of respectable. I guess ops sores
- 26:20Speaker 1: above six hundred batting average is closing in on one
- 26:25Speaker 1: seventy in one night. The struggling dumper has sort of
- 26:31Speaker 1: resurrected his aura to the point that national talk shows
- 26:37Speaker 1: that never talked baseball led with cal Raley's twenty twenty
- 26:41Speaker 1: six breakout game last night. He homered three times and
- 26:45Speaker 1: walked in his fourth at bat in the contest, and
- 26:49Speaker 1: the Mariners role to a nine to two win over
- 26:52Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies. No doubt who the star of the
- 26:55Speaker 1: game was. Afterwards, here's col Like.
- 26:57Speaker 5: I said, I've been in the box, like I've been
- 27:00Speaker 5: seeing the ball pretty well. I told you like a
- 27:02Speaker 5: week ago, and you know, I think, you know, physically,
- 27:06Speaker 5: I'm trying to get just get my hands back, you know,
- 27:11Speaker 5: you know, sooner, and I feel like I've done a
- 27:13Speaker 5: better job of that. And then mentally it's just been
- 27:16Speaker 5: been about you know, Like I said that belief and
- 27:19Speaker 5: and just having that hope that and the optimism every
- 27:23Speaker 5: single day and you know, not getting two down, not
- 27:25Speaker 5: getting too up, and and uh, you know, trying to
- 27:28Speaker 5: just be ready and prepared for the game.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how hard that must be
- 27:34Speaker 1: to not get two down and not get two up,
- 27:37Speaker 1: especially the two down part after a sixty home run season. Yeah,
- 27:42Speaker 1: a year ago in which you overtook the city. You
- 27:48Speaker 1: were being mentioned in every breath with Aaron Judge one
- 27:51Speaker 1: of the what three two three biggest names in the sport? Yeah,
- 27:57Speaker 1: right now, certainly top three, maybe top two, top too,
- 28:00Speaker 1: would say, yeah, and you're mentioning the same breath. Suddenly
- 28:04Speaker 1: you've like for all of the Aaron Judge fans that
- 28:07Speaker 1: are like, oh man, there's the real col Rawley. Well,
- 28:11Speaker 1: at least our guy's healthy, he's playing games. Yeah, at
- 28:16Speaker 1: least he's stuck around long enough to hit a three
- 28:19Speaker 1: run homer. Ye last night in the middle of a
- 28:21Speaker 1: Pennant stretch. Yeah, take that, take that whistle teeth so
- 28:28Speaker 1: cal It's is three home runs last night certainly his
- 28:31Speaker 1: biggest game. But yeah, I mean to go from that
- 28:34Speaker 1: high and like there had to be there just It's
- 28:36Speaker 1: just natural to have a feeling in the offseason, like
- 28:39Speaker 1: I can't believe I've figured out baseball. Yeah right, I
- 28:43Speaker 1: can't believe that the hitting has become this easy to me.
- 28:46Speaker 1: It's felt so hard two years ago, right, and now
- 28:49Speaker 1: look at it, Look at it, I've I've solved it.
- 28:53Speaker 1: I mean, I know that he never said that to
- 28:55Speaker 1: himself now, but it is hard not to think that
- 28:57Speaker 1: you have arrived at a certain level. You get confidence
- 29:01Speaker 1: when you have that much success, right, and then you
- 29:03Speaker 1: go to the WBC and nothing goes right, and then
- 29:06Speaker 1: nothing goes right again for four and a half months.
- 29:11Speaker 1: How do you not get down? So whatever he did
- 29:17Speaker 1: to keep his chin up, God bless him. And now
- 29:21Speaker 1: hopefully he's shown up just in time. He is ready
- 29:25Speaker 1: to go. You know, I used to watch this movie
- 29:28Speaker 1: when I was a kid. It was on all the time.
- 29:30Speaker 1: It was called kat Baloo star Jane Fonda, but the
- 29:34Speaker 1: key to it was Lee Marvin. Okay, and he was
- 29:37Speaker 1: this gun totter, gunshooter, gun gun guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 29:44Speaker 1: he had guns and he knew how to use him. Okay,
- 29:46Speaker 1: but he was as legendate, but he was a drunk.
- 29:49Speaker 1: He was a drunk, terrible drunk, and she had to
- 29:52Speaker 1: sober him up because she had to save the family
- 29:54Speaker 1: farm if I remember it correctly, And sure enough, by
- 29:59Speaker 1: the time he got sobered up and it was just
- 30:01Speaker 1: in time to save the day. Oh my gosh, won
- 30:05Speaker 1: a gunslinger. I mean, as good as anybody you will
- 30:08Speaker 1: ever see. I'm not saying cal'sman.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Drunk, say to colch is sober up, but he's played
- 30:16Speaker 3: pretty bad. So did he explain quite a bit?
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yeah? Did he just cat blow this sucker? Did he
- 30:21Speaker 1: show up just in time to save the day, to
- 30:24Speaker 1: save the season, to save the movie and still ride
- 30:27Speaker 1: off as the hero. Maybe we will find out. Yeah,
- 30:31Speaker 1: we will find out. Actually, maybe we're gonna find out.
- 30:34Speaker 3: And I think what you said about, you know, the
- 30:36Speaker 3: questions about Johnny Parida starting. You could have made an
- 30:39Speaker 3: argument a week ago to play your better player at
- 30:42Speaker 3: that point, having it be Johnny parreeda kind of providing
- 30:46Speaker 3: more at that point. But you have to play like
- 30:48Speaker 3: this team's going nowhere. If if cal Rawley is not
- 30:51Speaker 3: going to be somewhat even close to what his normal
- 30:54Speaker 3: cal Rawle season could be, not even last year, just
- 30:56Speaker 3: just be twenty twenty four. Cal Rawley right, thirty five
- 30:59Speaker 3: home guy, uh, and.
- 31:02Speaker 1: He just brings too much else to the It was
- 31:04Speaker 1: never a consider no, and.
- 31:05Speaker 3: I don't I don't think so either, But you just
- 31:09Speaker 3: have to write it out. This is one of the
- 31:10Speaker 3: reasons why you write it out. Right. We talked about
- 31:12Speaker 3: it with Jorge Polanco all through of last year. Dan
- 31:14Speaker 3: rode through a couple of really bad months with him,
- 31:16Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, when it came down
- 31:18Speaker 3: the stretch, he was like, one of your most important players.
- 31:20Speaker 1: That's baseball. That's baseball. Yeah. Yeah, so I think it.
- 31:25Speaker 3: I I really am wishful thinking and hoping that this
- 31:27Speaker 3: is this is one of those situations where something just clicked.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you can't get carried away, right, you
- 31:34Speaker 1: know it's one game? Yeah if you you know, if
- 31:37Speaker 1: every day you go home and your wife yells at
- 31:41Speaker 1: you and throws pots and pans for four and a
- 31:43Speaker 1: half months, and then on the next day you go
- 31:46Speaker 1: home and she's sweet and makes sweet, sweet love to
- 31:49Speaker 1: you by the fire, can you trust that the next
- 31:53Speaker 1: day you're going to come home?
- 31:55Speaker 3: In fact, I'd be even more suspicious at that point,
- 31:58Speaker 3: considering the previous You know, on.
- 32:00Speaker 1: The next day. I mean, you've been like boy was
- 32:03Speaker 1: that was a nice change of pace. But do you
- 32:07Speaker 1: know for sure the next night when you go home
- 32:10Speaker 1: that you're not getting pots and pan treatment, if not worse.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Seriously, it's like softing up the belly before something else happens.
- 32:21Speaker 1: But it is nice to remind yourself why you got
- 32:24Speaker 1: married to the woman in the first place. We're married
- 32:28Speaker 1: to Cal. They're married to Cal. There was no consideration
- 32:32Speaker 1: to bench him for the stretch run. And like I
- 32:35Speaker 1: said before, there's one catcher in the organization that gives
- 32:39Speaker 1: you a chance, well maybe Boston Smith, but one catcher
- 32:43Speaker 1: in the organization that gives you a chance to get
- 32:45Speaker 1: hot and maybe carry a baseball team down the stretch.
- 32:48Speaker 1: And it's not Johnny Pareda. It's twenty nine. It's the
- 32:51Speaker 1: Big Dumber. Hopefully he's back, all right. Greg Bell's going
- 32:54Speaker 1: to join us today at seven o five. Before he
- 32:56Speaker 1: joins us, we got another Hard Knocks episode Tonight's It's
- 33:00Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Now back to Chuck in the Morning, brought to you
- 33:08Speaker 2: by two Late Up Resort Casino. When all you want
- 33:10Speaker 2: is everything everything too Late Up dot Com on Sports
- 33:14Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Three kJ R FM. Andrews Hurst is here here. My
- 33:34Speaker 1: name is Chuck pal Great to have you with us.
- 33:36Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, Anders is the young one?
- 33:42Speaker 1: Is that what I am now? Well compared to me? Yeah? Yeah,
- 33:45Speaker 1: it is? Uh Chuck and Anders with you. Coming up?
- 33:48Speaker 1: We got Greg Bell. Anders will still be the young
- 33:51Speaker 1: one at seven oh five. We also have your headlines
- 33:54Speaker 1: at seven o'clock as well. We'll talk unfortunately a lot
- 33:58Speaker 1: of injuries with Greg Bell and tonight Hard Knocks the
- 34:01Speaker 1: next episode will air and they're not short on content
- 34:05Speaker 1: once again. This week we'll have the Trayvon Diggs. There's
- 34:08Speaker 1: already some videos that have surfaced with John Schneider meeting
- 34:12Speaker 1: with Trayvon Diggs trying to get to the bottom of
- 34:15Speaker 1: why he's been injured, how healthy he is right now.
- 34:18Speaker 1: So those videos are already making around, so obviously that's
- 34:20Speaker 1: going to be a story. Terry On Arnold probably gets
- 34:23Speaker 1: touched upon, I would think again. In the episode tonight,
- 34:27Speaker 1: you get another football game which they have footage of
- 34:31Speaker 1: in Nashville, an entire week in Nashville, a joint practice
- 34:36Speaker 1: that took place, and potentially three season ending injuries. Yea
- 34:41Speaker 1: that the team is dealing with and so certainly going
- 34:44Speaker 1: to be worth checking out tonight here in the Pacific Northwest.
- 34:48Speaker 1: So Jake Bobo, Bud Clark, Mason Richmond, we don't know
- 34:53Speaker 1: for a fact that all three of them are out
- 34:55Speaker 1: for the season, but we do know that they're going
- 34:58Speaker 1: to be out for most, if not all, of the
- 35:01Speaker 1: season this upcoming year. And we had Hugh on yesterday,
- 35:05Speaker 1: and I give Hugh credit for this. I know it
- 35:08Speaker 1: does sound cold and not calculated, but it sounds cold
- 35:14Speaker 1: when it gets delivered so bluntly. But he sort of
- 35:18Speaker 1: bottom lined it for us yesterday with Hey, I like
- 35:23Speaker 1: Jake Bobo, I like Bud Clark. And I told you
- 35:27Speaker 1: that Mason Richmond stood out to me in preseason game
- 35:30Speaker 1: number one. He was one of the guys that I
- 35:32Speaker 1: circled as having impressed me. But he did say, if
- 35:38Speaker 1: you were to honestly like rank who you could afford
- 35:42Speaker 1: to lose. You know, I'm not sure Jake Bobo's not
- 35:45Speaker 1: in your bottom five of the guys that you would,
- 35:51Speaker 1: you know, hate to lose the most. Okay, he might
- 35:56Speaker 1: be bottom five on the roster, bottom ten if I'm
- 35:59Speaker 1: being interests this was from Hugh yesterday, and obviously Bud Clark.
- 36:06Speaker 1: I know that Mike McDonald's really excited about him, and
- 36:10Speaker 1: I've also heard that Mike McDonald's favorite player in the
- 36:13Speaker 1: draft was Bud Clark going into the draft, so obviously
- 36:17Speaker 1: he had a role played for him, and that was
- 36:19Speaker 1: something Bud was going to work his way into during
- 36:22Speaker 1: the course of the year, not just be handed to him,
- 36:24Speaker 1: but that role was going to be something that he
- 36:26Speaker 1: worked his way into. But again, I don't know if
- 36:29Speaker 1: it's somebody that you're necessarily counting on. So if as
- 36:35Speaker 1: cold as it sounds, I appreciate when Hugh does this
- 36:38Speaker 1: sort of thing. He just sort of bottom lines it
- 36:41Speaker 1: for you, and there's probably some truth to that what
- 36:43Speaker 1: he's saying, and I commend him for saying it. That said,
- 36:49Speaker 1: when you lose three guys like that and one chunk
- 36:52Speaker 1: in seventy two hours, okay, you are going to need
- 36:56Speaker 1: depth during the course of a football season. And when
- 36:59Speaker 1: you lose three guys who are more than just depth pieces,
- 37:03Speaker 1: but bring some other things to the locker room, bring
- 37:07Speaker 1: some other intangibles to the football field, and some tangibles
- 37:11Speaker 1: to the football field, it's a big hit, There's no
- 37:15Speaker 1: question about it. And there's a reason that Mike McDonald
- 37:18Speaker 1: sounded his most somber in a long time after that game.
- 37:23Speaker 1: He lost three guys that he just really loves. Yeah,
- 37:26Speaker 1: he just really loves on this football team. So yeah, individually,
- 37:30Speaker 1: I don't know if this is going to be a
- 37:32Speaker 1: mighty blow to the mighty Seahawks when you but collectively, yeah,
- 37:37Speaker 1: I mean when you've not even played a snap of
- 37:39Speaker 1: regular season football yet and you're already trying to find
- 37:43Speaker 1: answers to depth pieces that you were counting on this year, Yeah,
- 37:47Speaker 1: it hits.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Yeah. I think for a team that relies on depth
- 37:51Speaker 3: as much as the Seahawks do, they rotate a lot
- 37:53Speaker 3: of guys. Mike McDonald has a lot of different players
- 37:56Speaker 3: playing at different roles. It's not just the eleven guys
