0:58
Speaker 1: all your Mariner frustration by watching people punch on each other.
1:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would do it for me, I think, Yeah,
1:04
Speaker 2: if the people that are getting punched.
1:07
Speaker 1: George Springs George spring Yeah exactly. Yeah, I was thinking,
1:11
Speaker 1: and it's corner George Springer versus George Springer. Yeah.
1:15
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, if you look like him, steer
1:18
Speaker 2: clear for a little bit.
1:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you do look like him, maybe you've
1:23
Speaker 1: made the better choice to get a decent haircut. Just
1:26
Speaker 1: let it go that thing. All.
1:27
Speaker 3: I mean, if somebody with that much money can't get
1:30
Speaker 3: the decent haircut, how's anyone who might look like him
1:32
Speaker 3: with less money going to get one?
1:33
Speaker 1: And it just sounds like a cheap shoppers and a
1:36
Speaker 1: guy that beat us last night. It is, Yeah, owning
1:39
Speaker 1: that own it. I'm fine with that.
1:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, no problems with that here.
1:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. Just keep your emails to yourself Canadah.
1:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we know you have one collective email address.
1:49
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right that you all share. Yeah. So yeah,
1:54
Speaker 1: I'm not apologizing for it. If if I want to
1:57
Speaker 1: be petty this morning, I'll be petty. He's a turd.
2:00
Speaker 1: All right. We've got Monday morning quarterback on a Tuesday
2:05
Speaker 1: coming your way at nine o'clock. So we're gonna talk
2:06
Speaker 1: some Seahawks football with Hugh Mill and maybe it'd be
2:08
Speaker 1: a nice distraction. Mike Homeran will be joining us in
2:11
Speaker 1: our nine o'clock hour, and if you need another distraction,
2:14
Speaker 1: the NBA season gets underway tonight, and I'm really curious
2:17
Speaker 1: as to why there is no fanfare over the TNT
2:23
Speaker 1: crew debuting. I mean, is that not happening this week?
2:27
Speaker 1: Are they not doing that until like Christmas or something?
2:30
Speaker 1: There have been no promotions for them. They always start
2:34
Speaker 1: the season right, Yeah, it's always those guys the way
2:38
Speaker 1: they're the way we usher in every basketball season. They're
2:40
Speaker 1: not at T and T anymore. They're going to ESPN
2:43
Speaker 1: this year, but I've not seen one promotion suggesting that
2:47
Speaker 1: they're going to hit the airwaves anytime soon, which I
2:50
Speaker 1: find very strange. So I don't know, Maybe maybe people
2:53
Speaker 1: know the answer to that. And I've just been to
2:55
Speaker 1: baseball oriented lately to actually see the riding on the wall,
2:59
Speaker 1: but I find that odd. All right, Well, Mariners season
3:03
Speaker 1: did end last night four to three, as the final score,
3:06
Speaker 1: and certainly a lot of talking points from last evening,
3:10
Speaker 1: and the biggest thing that people are discussing is whether
3:14
Speaker 1: or not Dan Wilson blew the game in Game seven
3:17
Speaker 1: last night with his pitching decisions at the end of
3:20
Speaker 1: the contest. I mean, you did lead for most of
3:22
Speaker 1: the game three to one. I mean, look, I mean,
3:27
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that as an armchair manager,
3:31
Speaker 1: that I would have done differently than Dan Wilson throughout
3:35
Speaker 1: the entire process. And who knows, you know, if me, individually,
3:40
Speaker 1: as a fan of my ideas would have worked better
3:42
Speaker 1: or would have worked worse. It's kind of what we
3:45
Speaker 1: do as baseball fans. We get to kind of sit
3:48
Speaker 1: there and watch the game and kind of strategize right
3:52
Speaker 1: there alongside the manager. I'm not sure that anything that
3:57
Speaker 1: happened throughout this process I would sole as heinous, even
4:02
Speaker 1: though I disagreed with a lot of the decisions that
4:05
Speaker 1: he made, from going all the way back to the
4:07
Speaker 1: way that he set his rotation before the playoffs even began,
4:11
Speaker 1: and even last night. I mean, I don't think it's
4:14
Speaker 1: some heinous decision that Bizardo was used somebody that we called,
4:20
Speaker 1: I mean, and the Seattle Times called, and many people
4:23
Speaker 1: called sort of the hero of the postseason. He'd been
4:26
Speaker 1: very effective all year long. He'd been very effective in
4:29
Speaker 1: some key moments in the playoffs, and they he had
4:32
Speaker 1: obviously earned their trust and their respect to be given
4:37
Speaker 1: the ball in such a crucial situation. But that was
4:40
Speaker 1: the biggest a bat of the entire season. That was
4:43
Speaker 1: the season, and before it even left the ballpark, you
4:46
Speaker 1: knew it, like here we go, go ahead. Run is
4:50
Speaker 1: at the play it's a career Mariner killer. And we're
4:55
Speaker 1: going with a guy that at the beginning of the
4:58
Speaker 1: year we weren't even sure we was going to make
4:59
Speaker 1: this roster, and a guy that even now we kind
5:03
Speaker 1: of recognize as our third best reliever during the course
5:07
Speaker 1: of the season. And so I'm not surprised that the
5:11
Speaker 1: decision was met with skepticism the moment it was made,
5:15
Speaker 1: and then once we had the result, oh my gosh,
5:18
Speaker 1: here come the floodgates. And I figured that everybody was
5:22
Speaker 1: going to have a problem with that decision last night,
5:25
Speaker 1: So I would just say, I don't think again it
5:28
Speaker 1: was a horrible decision, even though it was a horrible
5:32
Speaker 1: result by Dan Wilson. But I do think it should
5:36
Speaker 1: have been handled differently. And I think that the two
5:41
Speaker 1: criticisms that I would have were, you have one of
5:44
Speaker 1: the best closers in baseball. It did kind of feel like,
5:48
Speaker 1: if they were going to build an inning, this might
5:51
Speaker 1: be the last time you faced Springer and Guerrero the
5:54
Speaker 1: entire series. Wouldn't you have your best guy ready in
5:57
Speaker 1: case the inning did get away from and Wu? So
6:01
Speaker 1: I would criticize that a little bit. And then secondarily,
6:05
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear to me, Bucky that they had a
6:07
Speaker 1: game plan organizationally had a game plan. They wanted to
6:09
Speaker 1: go Kirby four innings, Wu three innings, Munjos two innings.
6:14
Speaker 1: That was the game plan. That was the blueprint, and
6:16
Speaker 1: if anybody got in trouble, then you had Spire, Bizarreto
6:20
Speaker 1: and Brash, you know, seasoned relievers to get you out
6:25
Speaker 1: of trouble. Spire was up when George Kirby was still
6:29
Speaker 1: on the mound at one point, and then Bizardo was
6:32
Speaker 1: clearly up when Brian Wu got in trouble, and I
6:34
Speaker 1: would imagine Brash would have been up had Munjos got
6:38
Speaker 1: in trouble working a second inning potentially last night. And
6:42
Speaker 1: so they kept to the script last night. But the
6:46
Speaker 1: only and this would be my second criticism of it,
6:49
Speaker 1: first would be, how do you not have Munjos ready
6:51
Speaker 1: and what felt to be the biggest moment of the
6:54
Speaker 1: entire season against their best hitters. And then the second
6:58
Speaker 1: thing that I would say criticize, if you are going
7:00
Speaker 1: to go to a game plan, how did you convince
7:04
Speaker 1: yourself that Brian wu couldn't get the job done in
7:06
Speaker 1: that moment, you know, considering how foolish he made George
7:10
Speaker 1: Springer look the previous at bat, considering that he really
7:14
Speaker 1: was your best pitcher this entire season, and if he
7:17
Speaker 1: had enough faith to go to him in Game seven,
7:20
Speaker 1: you know, considering the recent injury history and that he's
7:23
Speaker 1: only really pitched two innings this entire postseason. If he
7:26
Speaker 1: had enough faith to go to him in such a
7:29
Speaker 1: pivotal moment, then where did the faith go to get
7:33
Speaker 1: out of that jam that he'd created for himself, which
7:36
Speaker 1: really was just to lead off walk. Shame on you, Brian.
7:39
Speaker 1: And then a goofy infield single by a bad hitter
7:42
Speaker 1: that somehow slipped through the infield. That's really all the
7:46
Speaker 1: damage that he had created for himself in that inning.
7:50
Speaker 1: So those are the two criticisms that I would levy.
7:53
Speaker 1: Let it be, you know, debated for the rest of time,
7:57
Speaker 1: by Mariners fans. Again, I don't think it was a
8:00
Speaker 1: horrible decision to go to a trustworthy reliever there that
8:03
Speaker 1: you had game planned for. But I would say that
8:07
Speaker 1: I would have done things differently in those situations.
8:10
Speaker 2: In that situation, yeah, ah, man, it's a rough one
8:13
Speaker 2: because I mean you very easily, you know, you play
8:19
Speaker 2: it the exact same way that they played it, and
8:21
Speaker 2: you know, and George Springer gets half an inch further
8:25
Speaker 2: underneath the ball and it's a pop up, and you
8:27
Speaker 2: get Lucas to ground out, and all of a sudden,
8:30
Speaker 2: we're taking We're having a completely different conversation today. The
8:34
Speaker 2: entire Pacific Northwest feels completely different based on less than
8:38
Speaker 2: an inch of something happening. And so yeah, I mean
8:41
Speaker 2: it's I'll say in the moment, I'm not one that
8:43
Speaker 2: does hindsight.
8:45
Speaker 1: You know.
8:46
Speaker 2: Just there you go, Dan Wilson, he screwed it and
8:49
Speaker 2: ruined it for everybody. Get rid of him. I don't
8:52
Speaker 2: believe that. I think that's short sighted and silly. I
8:55
Speaker 2: will just say something that we've talked about a couple
8:58
Speaker 2: times already today is if when you make a change,
9:01
Speaker 2: the person that's getting ready to come up to the plate,
9:05
Speaker 2: maybe inside has a sigh of relief. Then it maybe
9:08
Speaker 2: is a change that you shouldn't have made. And I
9:10
Speaker 2: would have to think George Springer, after getting dosed on
9:16
Speaker 2: the knee the last time he faced Brian Wu and
9:18
Speaker 2: then getting punched out in embarrassing fashion on three straight pitches,
9:22
Speaker 2: looking as bad as he's ever gonna look an idiot
9:24
Speaker 2: bat that he probably was like, please take him out.
9:28
Speaker 2: I don't care who you bring in. I don't care
9:29
Speaker 2: if it's Munjos, I don't care if it's Brash, I
9:31
Speaker 2: don't care if it's Bizardo. Obviously bringing somebody other than
9:34
Speaker 2: this guy, because he obviously didn't have the history, the
9:39
Speaker 2: recent history that was negative like he did with Brian Wu.
9:42
Speaker 2: So I was in the moment thinking, I think I'd
9:44
Speaker 2: leave in here. I think that he has just so
9:46
Speaker 2: good a chance of striking him out as anybody else
9:49
Speaker 2: outside of Munjos and Bizardo. So the fact that those
9:52
Speaker 2: guys weren't up and loose to where you get to
9:55
Speaker 2: make that decision based on it, maybe is sticking with
9:58
Speaker 2: a game plan too much. I mean, I would think
10:00
Speaker 2: I think that it probably the blueprint was two times
10:03
Speaker 2: through the lineup. If George can go five innings and
10:05
Speaker 2: get through two times before we have to get into
10:07
Speaker 2: where he runs into trouble. Typically in the postseason anyways,
10:11
Speaker 2: is run into trouble the third time he goes through. Fine,
10:13
Speaker 2: So four or five innings hopefully out of him. If
10:16
Speaker 2: it's one time through the lineup that you're thinking of
10:17
Speaker 2: Brian Wu because he still hasn't pitched a whole heck
10:20
Speaker 2: of a lot. What do you have four innings in
10:22
Speaker 2: the last month because of the injury? Okay, fine, And
10:25
Speaker 2: if that sets it up to where you go Brash
10:28
Speaker 2: and Munnos or Munos for two great, It just didn't
10:32
Speaker 2: work out that way. So to me, it's I didn't
10:35
Speaker 2: like the taking of Brian Wu out, and if I
10:37
Speaker 2: was going to take him out, I'm probably going to
10:39
Speaker 2: bring in as good as Bizarlo's been. And it needs
10:42
Speaker 2: to be emphasized, he has been great. And this team,
10:45
Speaker 2: you're gonna win it and you're gonna lose it as
10:46
Speaker 2: a team. And yet when it comes down to we
10:49
Speaker 2: need to get nine outs, we need to find a
10:50
Speaker 2: way to get nine outs. Here, you start Wu to
10:53
Speaker 2: go out there and he does that leadoff walk is
10:57
Speaker 2: a killer because now it sets up where a little
11:00
Speaker 2: you know, seeing I single up the middle put you
11:02
Speaker 2: in a situation where a sack bunt and all of
11:04
Speaker 2: a sudden, the tying runs, you know, one hundred and
11:07
Speaker 2: eighty feet away, and the winning runs walking up to
11:09
Speaker 2: the dish. So there's all kinds of stuff around it,
11:11
Speaker 2: like I trust in Wu, and yet Wu is the
11:13
Speaker 2: one that kind of puts you in a sticky, hairy situation.
11:16
Speaker 2: So it's just one of those you didn't do it
11:19
Speaker 2: collectively as a squad. You didn't do it, and and
11:24
Speaker 2: Dan has something to some fault in that. And yet
11:27
Speaker 2: putting it all at his feet is wrong. Putting it
11:29
Speaker 2: all at Brian Wu's feet or Bizardo's feet is wrong.
11:33
Speaker 2: There's just to some degree, I want you to have
11:36
Speaker 2: a plan. I also want you to use your eyeballs
11:38
Speaker 2: and your gut a little bit. And I'm not one
11:39
Speaker 2: hundred percent sure what Dan would say with true serum
11:43
Speaker 2: of what his gut was telling him versus what his
11:45
Speaker 2: plan was telling.
11:46
Speaker 1: I think he just went with the plan, don't you.
11:48
Speaker 1: It just kind of felt like they had a plan
11:51
Speaker 1: and they went with the plan. We like our plan.
11:53
Speaker 1: We're gonna stick with the plan versus feeling your way
11:57
Speaker 1: through it. I mean, there's nothing keeping you from having
11:59
Speaker 1: two loosen in the bullpen. Yeah, and then when the
12:02
Speaker 1: moment arises, you get to choose which guy might be
12:05
Speaker 1: better for the job at hand. And yet it was
12:08
Speaker 1: only Spire at one point, and it was only Bizardo
12:11
Speaker 1: at one point where and then I think the game
12:14
Speaker 1: sped up on him. And the next thing, you know,
12:16
Speaker 1: we got two guys on with their two best hitters
12:18
Speaker 1: coming up in the next three batters. And I don't
12:20
Speaker 1: know if they were prepared for that. Had they kind
12:23
Speaker 1: of sensed that coming around the corner. Maybe you do
12:26
Speaker 1: have a strikeout pitcher, a better strikeout pitcher going Ashley.
12:29
Speaker 1: Maybe you got Brash up at least Brash Yeah, if
12:32
Speaker 1: not Munyos, at least you've got the guy that's famous
12:35
Speaker 1: for being a match up nightmare for everybody he faces. Yeah.
12:39
Speaker 3: I mean that is the thing, because if you want
12:40
Speaker 3: to save Munjos, if you think, oh this is too early,
12:42
Speaker 3: we don't want to bring him in, Okay, that's fine,
12:44
Speaker 3: that makes sense. But on top of it, Yeah, you
12:46
Speaker 3: had Bizardo throwing thirty pitches or whatever the night before
12:49
Speaker 3: too and so again, listening to the broadcast, even they
12:53
Speaker 3: were questioning it, well, why isn't he bringing in Munnos here?
12:56
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't And you the other thing you have to
12:58
Speaker 3: remember too is Munyos isn't end all be all right
13:01
Speaker 3: because you've got other pitchers that are available.
13:03
Speaker 1: We talked about Hiller and Castille of anyone, Yeah, they're
13:06
Speaker 1: all of it.
13:06
Speaker 3: They're available, right, So you you bring in Munios, he
13:09
Speaker 3: gets his job done, and then you can go to Miller.
13:11
Speaker 1: Then you can go to Castillo. Randy Johnson closed out
13:14
Speaker 1: the World Series in two thousand and one. After starting
13:18
Speaker 1: Game six, he saved Game seven. If at my history,
13:22
Speaker 1: if I know my history, well, so you could go
13:25
Speaker 1: to a Bryce Miller who's had all sorts of success
13:27
Speaker 1: against this team. But it's not all about pitching. There
13:30
Speaker 1: was also some other things. I mean, Leo Reevos got
13:33
Speaker 1: a golden opportunity here. I mean he was name made
13:36
Speaker 1: the midway through this series, the starting second baseman of
13:41
Speaker 1: a team that was trying to make it to the
13:43
Speaker 1: World Series. And man, he picked a bad time to
13:46
Speaker 1: have a bad game, struck out three times and popped
13:49
Speaker 1: up the other time at the plot. So Leo, you know,
13:55
Speaker 1: along with a couple base running gas during the course
13:58
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. I don't know if that's a exactly
14:01
Speaker 1: one that's he's gonna remember too fondly, even though he
14:06
Speaker 1: did have a clutch hit at one point here in
14:08
Speaker 1: the postseason. And then I want to talk about Julio.
14:11
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about Julio because Julio got off to
14:13
Speaker 1: such a phenomenal start last night. He gets the leadoff
14:17
Speaker 1: double to start the game. Then he hits the home
14:19
Speaker 1: run that gave us the lead, which we held for
14:20
Speaker 1: several innings, and it just looked like, oh my gosh,
14:25
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez is gonna have a legendary game in this moment,
14:30
Speaker 1: and then sort of emblematic of this team that could
14:34
Speaker 1: not stand prosperity this entire year. Like every time things
14:39
Speaker 1: seemed to be going every direction for the Mariners, Ah,
14:42
Speaker 1: we are our steamroll in our competition, something would happen
14:46
Speaker 1: where you're like, why are we playing this badly? Why?
14:51
Speaker 1: How is this happening now? Why are we falling down
14:54
Speaker 1: on the standings, Why are we letting the Astros win
14:57
Speaker 1: the division again? And then they would ru remarkably rally.
15:01
Speaker 1: They did it just all your luck even in the Alds.
15:05
Speaker 1: Why did we blow it through nothing lead when it
15:08
Speaker 1: looked like the Tigers had given up. You know, that's
15:11
Speaker 1: kind of the way that they played all season long.
15:13
Speaker 1: And I think Julio had a game like that last night.
15:16
Speaker 1: It's like, here, you have everything going your way, Julio,
15:20
Speaker 1: you might become a household name, you might become a
15:23
Speaker 1: national icon with the game that you're having. There are
15:26
Speaker 1: televisions on in every city in America watching Julio Rodriguez
15:32
Speaker 1: look like he's going to take over the game. And
15:34
Speaker 1: then he had three at bats later in the contest
15:38
Speaker 1: with several guys on base that he doesn't come through
15:42
Speaker 1: at all, and then strikes out with cal Raley on
15:45
Speaker 1: deck without seeing a single pitch in the strike zone
15:48
Speaker 1: from closer Jeff Hoffman could have at least earned a
15:51
Speaker 1: walk there. And it was just he played. He had
15:55
Speaker 1: two such great at bats and then three such bad
15:58
Speaker 1: at bats. It's like, who could have had it all
16:01
Speaker 1: last night? And he ends up kind of in a
16:04
Speaker 1: strange way, being a little bit of a goat in
16:06
Speaker 1: that situation.
16:07
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if this series wasn't the epitome of
16:10
Speaker 2: what we've watched out of Julio. I don't know what
16:13
Speaker 2: is the first three games that you win to and
16:15
Speaker 2: lose one, he hits four hundred, He's four for ten
16:17
Speaker 2: with a couple homers and a bunch of RBIs and
16:20
Speaker 2: is a key contributor to your first couple wins and
16:23
Speaker 2: even was an offensive, shining, shining light in your first
16:29
Speaker 2: loss that you got your butt whooped in.
16:32
Speaker 1: And then he goes oh for ten the next.
16:34
Speaker 2: Three games and basically is a non factor. And then
16:40
Speaker 2: he comes out and gets you going to start the game,
16:44
Speaker 2: and then the go ahead home run and you feel like, okay,
16:47
Speaker 2: we're off and running. Cow chips in with his home run.
16:50
Speaker 2: Now you're like, okay, a little bit of breathing room,
16:52
Speaker 2: not a ton, obviously not enough, but you feel like
16:55
Speaker 2: you feel good about it. And then a couple less
16:58
Speaker 2: than stellar at bats, like it's just the bat is
17:01
Speaker 2: not good. It's not the outcome that I care about.
17:03
Speaker 2: If you finished two for five with a home run
17:06
Speaker 2: and and and you you helped and you played good defense, okay,
17:11
Speaker 2: if the but if you have a couple at bats
17:13
Speaker 2: where this is a situation that I'm not going to
17:16
Speaker 2: get beat on a pitch that's inside. I'm just not
17:19
Speaker 2: going to be tardy because it's a You live to
17:22
Speaker 2: fight another day if you get out in front of
17:24
Speaker 2: that pitch. The one I'm talking about is the double
17:25
Speaker 2: playground ball that you had a situation that there was
17:29
Speaker 2: a walk right before Robus gets a walk, which Robus,
17:32
Speaker 2: that's a whole nother thing. The bottom of the order
17:34
Speaker 2: did not contribute much in the in the final little
17:37
Speaker 2: part of this series.
17:37
Speaker 1: They didn't.
17:38
Speaker 2: It was it kind of became a little bit of
17:40
Speaker 2: a void. But he ends up battling getting a walk there.
17:43
Speaker 2: And then you get a pitch inside and you get beat,
17:46
Speaker 2: and you hit a ground ball and next thing you know, boom,
17:48
Speaker 2: the chance of a big inning or just an inning
17:51
Speaker 2: that you're going to tack on a run or two
17:53
Speaker 2: of insurance and you get beat. If you hit that
17:56
Speaker 2: ball one hundred miles foul and one hundred and ten,
18:00
Speaker 2: I was an hour off the bat. Yeah, it's a strike,
18:02
Speaker 2: but it tells the pitch or something, it tells him
18:05
Speaker 2: you better not coming there.
18:06
Speaker 1: I'm ready.
18:07
Speaker 2: Then you get to play chess and say so now
18:09
Speaker 2: I'm going to sit off speed because I know that
18:12
Speaker 2: you're not coming back in there. I scared you out
18:14
Speaker 2: of there, and now you get to take the pitch
18:16
Speaker 2: that is down and a way, or the pitch that
18:19
Speaker 2: you get to having a bat that might lead to
18:21
Speaker 2: getting cal rawly back up to the dish, and instead
18:24
Speaker 2: there's times when he will just he kind of gives
18:27
Speaker 2: it bats away. Not intentionally, it's just the lack of
18:31
Speaker 2: focus on the small details of what how you win
18:35
Speaker 2: at bat, pitch by pitch.
18:36
Speaker 1: And if I had to say.
18:37
Speaker 2: Why we end up losing a game or a series
18:40
Speaker 2: four games to three against that team is up and
18:43
Speaker 2: down their lineup, they had a better approach.
18:46
Speaker 1: They did.
18:47
Speaker 2: They gave away fewer at bats, They took more advantage
18:50
Speaker 2: of the opportunities given to them, and we didn't. And
18:53
Speaker 2: you basically find yourself to where all of our pitchers
18:56
Speaker 2: are pitching on the razor's edge at all times. You're
18:59
Speaker 2: always just like, I can't make any mistakes. Their team
19:03
Speaker 2: kind of has this feel, their offensive side of their team,
19:05
Speaker 2: their position players kind of give you this feel like
19:08
Speaker 2: we're gonna wear you down, We're gonna grind out. If
19:10
Speaker 2: you don't make a play, we're gonna capitalize on it.
19:13
Speaker 2: If you end up, you know, having a you do
19:15
Speaker 2: a leadoff walk, we might buy a guy over and
19:18
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden you have to play this
19:19
Speaker 2: game of do we walk him?
19:21
Speaker 1: I don't know.
19:21
Speaker 2: Then Lad's waiting lurking in the in the bushes over there,
19:24
Speaker 2: and next thing you know, you come and you make
19:26
Speaker 2: one mistake and boom they capitalize on It.
19:28
Speaker 1: Just was Julio.
19:29
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a great first half of the game,
19:31
Speaker 2: and then a not great approach in the in his
19:34
Speaker 2: final couple of AB's in the costume, well.
19:35
Speaker 1: And it's even more painful. I wanted that for him.
19:38
Speaker 1: I mean, this is somebody that took a lot of
19:41
Speaker 1: slings and arrows throughout the first half of this season,
19:45
Speaker 1: redeemed himself in the second half. Still had to watch
19:48
Speaker 1: cal Rawley become the face of the franchise this year
19:51
Speaker 1: over him and maybe even going back to last year,
19:54
Speaker 1: and I wanted that for him. Last night, he was
19:55
Speaker 1: just off to this like legendary start, Like you could
19:58
Speaker 1: have the legendary moment, carry to victory, Julio, carry us
20:01
Speaker 1: to the World Series tonight if you have to. And
20:04
Speaker 1: after his first two at bats, he had three really
20:06
Speaker 1: bad at bats, last night and opportunities to lengthen that lead,
20:11
Speaker 1: and it's a little frustrating, all right. Coming up next,
20:13
Speaker 1: Ryan Healey joins the Sports Radio ninety three point three
20:16
Speaker 1: kh A RFM.
20:21
Speaker 4: Well, throughout this Major League Baseball postseason, we have had
20:25
Speaker 4: the joy of getting to know and having analyze our
20:28
Speaker 4: Mariners for us, former Mariner Ryan Healey, He's joined the
20:32
Speaker 4: conversation almost I think, after every single game so far
20:37
Speaker 4: in this postseason, and so we talked to him about
20:42
Speaker 4: the final game of the year, which is sad to say, Good.
20:46
Speaker 1: Morning, Ryan, Good morning man. How are we doing tonight?
20:48
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. I want to lead you in
20:51
Speaker 1: any direction, like your big takeaway as you start thinking
20:54
Speaker 1: about the Mariners this morning, what pops into your mind?
20:59
Speaker 5: What a se and what a series and such fight,
21:05
Speaker 5: so many things that you could analyze, kind of pitch
21:08
Speaker 5: by pitch, an by any player by player. For me, though,
21:13
Speaker 5: trying to zoom out a little bit and look at
21:14
Speaker 5: just the body of work of this whole season. I
21:17
Speaker 5: mean that that game was a pitch.
21:18
Speaker 2: Away, Yeah, I mean give us the idea that he
21:25
Speaker 2: freeze up, a freeze up, yeah, really, well, he can
21:31
Speaker 2: really stand still there he's back.
21:33
Speaker 1: He's moving. Hey, it's too early for your internet again.
21:38
Speaker 1: I told you it's nine am.
21:39
Speaker 5: So what I was saying is that the body of work,
21:41
Speaker 5: though of just this season and also the series, their
21:44
Speaker 5: ability to bounce back from adversity. Game seven, they responded
21:47
Speaker 5: really early, scoring the run there the nailor singled RBI
21:51
Speaker 5: after the double from Julio. I saw them bounce back
21:54
Speaker 5: and really controlled that game. Disappointing how it ended, but
21:57
Speaker 5: really proud of how this team conducted themselves.
21:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that you know, there's a
22:02
Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of pain in this fan
22:04
Speaker 2: base based on the way things have gone, and unfortunately
22:07
Speaker 2: the last night kind of adds to it a little bit.
22:09
Speaker 2: But I'd love you to give your perspective on how
22:14
Speaker 2: you win and you lose as a team, because there's
22:16
Speaker 2: a lot of blame going to be thrown around, right,
22:18
Speaker 2: and questions and criticisms are valid, And yet the idea
22:23
Speaker 2: of when you're in that locker room, when you're in
22:25
Speaker 2: that clubhouse, when you're on that field and the manager's like,
22:28
Speaker 2: all right, let's go bizarro, get us out of this,
22:30
Speaker 2: or let's do this to whomever. Hey, revos, you're in
22:33
Speaker 2: the game, we thanks for that double you hit, and
22:35
Speaker 2: you've grinded out some AB's, whatever the case may be.
22:38
Speaker 2: How do you feel when you come up on the
22:40
Speaker 2: losing end of things and there's questions and yet as
22:44
Speaker 2: a team, you're gonna win some and you're gonna lose some,
22:46
Speaker 2: but you're always gonna do it as a squad.
22:49
Speaker 1: It's a great question, Bucky. I said this early on.
22:52
Speaker 5: I believe in the Alds series about how I love
22:55
Speaker 5: watching betteran managers conduct themselves in moments of defeat because
22:59
Speaker 5: for me, you can really see what type of leader
23:01
Speaker 5: you have there. And my show prep this morning was
23:04
Speaker 5: watching Dan Wilson interviews. I wanted to see the questions
23:07
Speaker 5: he was getting asked how he was able to respond
23:09
Speaker 5: to those questions because I knew what they were gonna
23:11
Speaker 5: be about. It was gonna be about the pitching decision
23:13
Speaker 5: late in the game, the one swing that changed the game.
23:15
Speaker 1: And I thought that the.
23:16
Speaker 5: Way he navigated the answer was exactly how he navigated
23:19
Speaker 5: the playoffs. He chose the players that got him there,
23:22
Speaker 5: the guys that he relied on. There was no panic,
23:25
Speaker 5: there was no Oh, this guy had a tough inning
23:27
Speaker 5: like yesterday, I got to go try someone else now
23:29
Speaker 5: like there was no panic decisions made. It was complete
23:33
Speaker 5: conviction in his players and whether they succeeded or failed,
23:37
Speaker 5: he had the confidence in them to come through in
23:39
Speaker 5: that spot because they've done it all season long, And
23:42
Speaker 5: there was so many moments throughout that Game seven last
23:44
Speaker 5: night when I was watching it, when man, this storyline
23:47
Speaker 5: is perfect for the Mariners back up against the wall
23:49
Speaker 5: once again this season. They're gonna come through for us,
23:51
Speaker 5: and for the first time all season long, they didn't.
23:54
Speaker 5: And unfortunately the spot was in the Game seven and
23:57
Speaker 5: alcs and that hurts a lot. But this fan base
23:59
Speaker 5: has been on this Jarnie for a lot of time
24:00
Speaker 5: with this team, and you saw the emotion on the
24:02
Speaker 5: player's face. They care, Man, Then if there's never a
24:05
Speaker 5: question if they do or don't. But you saw they
24:07
Speaker 5: got a taste of it and they wanted it, and
24:09
Speaker 5: that those emotions are going to feel them even further
24:11
Speaker 5: to get past this hurdle next year.
24:13
Speaker 1: Well, I can appreciate your appreciation for how Dan Wilson
24:17
Speaker 1: handled it in the post game, But that said, I
24:20
Speaker 1: know you were sitting there armchair managing just like all
24:23
Speaker 1: the rest of us, Did he make the right move?
24:27
Speaker 1: How would you have?
24:27
Speaker 5: What I don't like about this question, Chuckie, and I
24:32
Speaker 5: understand it has to be asked, is that the end
24:34
Speaker 5: result is already determined, so now it's so much easier
24:37
Speaker 5: of an opinion. But I'll be honest with you, because
24:39
Speaker 5: that's my job as an analyst. Is when I saw
24:42
Speaker 5: Bazar to win there, I was really hoping to see
24:44
Speaker 5: Munjos in that spot. Do I understand why he made
24:47
Speaker 5: the spot after or the decision after seeing the postgame interview? Yes,
24:50
Speaker 5: I do, and I appreciate it. You're the manager, You've
24:52
Speaker 5: earned the right to make those decisions. But as a
24:55
Speaker 5: fan and someone that really want to see the scene succeed,
24:58
Speaker 5: I thought that was an opportunity to bring move in
25:00
Speaker 5: early and stretch him out, and it didn't happen. But
25:04
Speaker 5: we don't know if the result had been different even
25:06
Speaker 5: if Munyas was there.
25:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, Okay. Is there an idea that
25:10
Speaker 2: if you were if you had that hat on? And again,
25:13
Speaker 2: I agree that it feels superficial to say the least,
25:16
Speaker 2: that the conversation after knowing the outcome, and yet in
25:20
Speaker 2: the midst of it, we were all having that same
25:21
Speaker 2: thing of man, should Muno's being there, should Brash be
25:24
Speaker 2: in there?
25:24
Speaker 1: Or should Woo?
25:25
Speaker 2: Considering how bad he made Springer look and he hit
25:29
Speaker 2: him in the knee and then he diced him up
25:31
Speaker 2: on three straight pitches the previous time, I'm thinking that
25:34
Speaker 2: that George Springer is taking a siary leaf when he's
25:37
Speaker 2: seeing anybody else come in from the bullpen. Considering how
25:40
Speaker 2: the previous at batwin is there a part of you
25:42
Speaker 2: there was like, dude, he can pitch out of this jam.
25:45
Speaker 2: You're bringing in a guy that's been been doing good
25:47
Speaker 2: for us all season long and Bizardo and he's used to,
25:50
Speaker 2: you know, pitch him with guys on base. But that's
25:52
Speaker 2: Brian Wu. That's an All star. That's maybe been our
25:54
Speaker 2: most solid dude on the bump all year long.
25:58
Speaker 1: There's no maybe about it.
26:00
Speaker 5: Wu's been the best picture on this Marritor's pitching staff
26:02
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five, no question. He just thought the
26:04
Speaker 5: way that he came back and the injury, and he
26:06
Speaker 5: is a saint. He came out of the bullpen twice
26:08
Speaker 5: for us and he filled the zone up. It was
26:10
Speaker 5: coming out of his hand really clean. There was a
26:13
Speaker 5: lot of conversation in the Dodgers Brewer series, especially when
26:17
Speaker 5: Blake Snell went eight innings in Game one and then
26:19
Speaker 5: Yamamoda went nine innings in Game two, And there's a
26:21
Speaker 5: psychological aspect as a hit or to that when a
26:23
Speaker 5: starting pitcher is just in a groove and you're able
26:26
Speaker 5: to get them out of the game. I don't care
26:28
Speaker 5: if e Raaldess Chapman is coming in or if the
26:30
Speaker 5: best pitchure in the world is coming in, Like it's
26:33
Speaker 5: just not the guy that had my number today. I
26:35
Speaker 5: can at least compete against him. So there is some
26:38
Speaker 5: of that psychological that I'm sure that Springer had of Like, man,
26:40
Speaker 5: I'm kind of happy Wu isn't in there because that
26:42
Speaker 5: sinker he's gonna throw under my hands again because his
26:45
Speaker 5: game plan is he's got to push me off the plate.
26:47
Speaker 5: And last time he did that, he threw ninety six
26:49
Speaker 5: or ninety seven off my right knee cap and that's
26:51
Speaker 5: still hurts.
26:51
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe there is some psychological with that.
26:54
Speaker 5: But we have to also trust the medical staff and
26:57
Speaker 5: the coaching staff was analyzing how Wu was doing, and
27:00
Speaker 5: you know, maybe they didn't want to push him in
27:02
Speaker 5: that moment because the future of Brian Wu was bigger
27:05
Speaker 5: than that one pitch that won at bat Really hard
27:08
Speaker 5: to digest the thought of that at this point in time.
27:11
Speaker 1: I gotta get your thoughts on this. It ended up
27:13
Speaker 1: not being that impactful of a play in the game,
27:16
Speaker 1: but Bucky loved it. Every former player that I've heard
27:21
Speaker 1: talk about this is just like going crazy over this moment,
27:25
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor deciding not to slide and taking one to
27:29
Speaker 1: the noggin. Well, as a former player, what did you
27:32
Speaker 1: think of that play from him? I was actually in
27:37
Speaker 1: the batting cage.
27:37
Speaker 5: I was there last night with a bunch of hitters
27:40
Speaker 5: and one of my good buddies was actually there with us,
27:43
Speaker 5: just kind of hanging out, dropping some knowledge in the guys,
27:45
Speaker 5: and he looked at me and goes, That's the most
27:47
Speaker 5: Josh Naylor play I've ever seen in.
27:49
Speaker 1: My entire life, and I love it.
27:50
Speaker 5: He kind of like ducks his head, but then he
27:52
Speaker 5: jumps up into the ball and I'm like, the worst
27:54
Speaker 5: worst case in aario is used to kind of kill
27:56
Speaker 5: the momentum. You stop the game for a little bit.
27:58
Speaker 5: Did everyone's chance to breathe while they were it? But man,
28:01
Speaker 5: what just what an old school baseball player that really
28:03
Speaker 5: had people chuckling and confuse of what what's the results
28:06
Speaker 5: of this?
28:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just decided. I mean they always tell us
28:10
Speaker 1: if he played beyond a little league that just throw
28:12
Speaker 1: it right at his head. He'll get down. And Naylor's like,
28:15
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get down, so there's no rule that
28:17
Speaker 1: I have to slide. They still called him for interference,
28:20
Speaker 1: which I think was the right thing to do, but yes,
28:24
Speaker 1: for him to just say in that moment, I'll take
28:26
Speaker 1: one to the head. I don't care, see if I
28:28
Speaker 1: can get a play here, right, And he was smart
28:30
Speaker 1: enough to turn his back to the ball so that
28:32
Speaker 1: it didn't get him in the face. Even that, even
28:35
Speaker 1: Naylor's intelligence was on display in that moment.
28:38
Speaker 5: It would have at a next level if he was like, man,
28:40
Speaker 5: i could really use some new veneers this offseason. So
28:43
Speaker 5: I'm actually not gonna turn my head. I'm like his
28:45
Speaker 5: baseball because I need some new show chips.
28:49
Speaker 1: Chips. And how disappointing was it? Just you know, as
28:53
Speaker 1: you're rooting there for the Mariners, you got cal Raley
28:56
Speaker 1: on deck. I just kept thinking the same the whole time,
28:58
Speaker 1: like he's gonna get bat It's the era of cow
29:01
Speaker 1: We're gonna pull this thing off, and he's gonna put
29:04
Speaker 1: on the cape one more time. How disappointing was it
29:07
Speaker 1: for you that he never got into the batter's box.
29:10
Speaker 5: As a baseball fan, you wanted to see that an
29:12
Speaker 5: opportunity happen, and I felt like there was There were
29:15
Speaker 5: pitches that were non competitive from Hoffman there to to
29:17
Speaker 5: Rodriguez Julio. There obviously a really tight slider along the
29:21
Speaker 5: way and they got Julio to expand. And you know,
29:24
Speaker 5: that was a tough one, just for the way that
29:27
Speaker 5: this season is kind of unfolded. In the role that
29:29
Speaker 5: col has played for this team in twenty twenty five,
29:32
Speaker 5: I would have loved to have seen it, even if
29:33
Speaker 5: Cal strikes out the end of the season, like, I
29:35
Speaker 5: just would have loved to have seen him in that
29:36
Speaker 5: in that moment with the opportunity to tie the game
29:39
Speaker 5: or put us ahead. I think that Mariners fans deserved that,
29:42
Speaker 5: and I was disappointing not to see it.
29:44
Speaker 1: Even if he didn't come through. It just felt like
29:46
Speaker 1: the season should be in his hands at a good point. Yeah,
29:49
Speaker 1: well man, you've been awesome. Thank you very much. Don't
29:53
Speaker 1: go far. I'm sure we're gonna be bugging the hell
29:55
Speaker 1: out of you here in the offseason, so we really
29:58
Speaker 1: appreciate it. And I think you got a future in
30:01
Speaker 1: this business if you do intend to pursue it, and
30:05
Speaker 1: of course we'll be bugging you whenever we get the opportunity.
30:08
Speaker 1: So thank you very much.
30:10
Speaker 5: It's been outstanding to you, Chuck, to you, Bucky, to
30:14
Speaker 5: you actually, to the Mariner stands out there that allowed
30:16
Speaker 5: me the opportunity to come on here, the producers at KJR,
30:19
Speaker 5: thank you so much for the chance to come on
30:21
Speaker 5: this playoff journey. It's been a lot of fun and
30:23
Speaker 5: the chance to be so tightly wound into this sport
30:26
Speaker 5: again was a real blessing. So thank you guys very much.
30:28
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll be in touch you all right. Ryan
30:31
Speaker 1: Heley joining us right here on Chuck and Buck coming
30:33
Speaker 1: up next. The m's future. Yeah, I'm going to spend
30:37
Speaker 1: five minutes on it. I know people don't want to
30:39
Speaker 1: think about the future, but I think it's worth spending
30:42
Speaker 1: five minutes on before we Monday morning quarterback at nine
30:46
Speaker 1: o'clock on KJR, kind of talking about the Mariners season
30:50
Speaker 1: coming to and end last night. I think there's at
30:52
Speaker 1: least five minutes that need to get spent on the future.
30:55
Speaker 1: I do love what Bucky said. I think it's a
30:57
Speaker 1: phenomenal point at the very beginning of the show. It
31:01
Speaker 1: is daunting to sort of sit here at the end
31:04
Speaker 1: of this get so close to the World Series, the
31:06
Speaker 1: objective of getting to the World Series, which has eluded
31:08
Speaker 1: this city for half a century, and then think about
31:11
Speaker 1: next year and starting the process all over again, and
31:16
Speaker 1: then thinking about another excruciating, potentially postseason where you're you know,
31:21
Speaker 1: gut ringing round after round trying to get to that
31:25
Speaker 1: ultimate destination of the World Series. And I get why
31:29
Speaker 1: people may want to put a hold on talking about
31:32
Speaker 1: the future of the Mariners for that very reason.
31:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, it does feel like I'm not ready yet.
31:40
Speaker 1: I'm not ready, and I don't.
31:41
Speaker 2: Know what the stages of grief are, but I know
31:44
Speaker 2: sitting in it for a minute and feeling it is
31:46
Speaker 2: part of it. And so I mean, I think I
31:51
Speaker 2: think a lot of folks are not ready, probably to
31:53
Speaker 2: be to have some silver lining of what might be
31:57
Speaker 2: in the future rammed down their throat. At the same time,
32:00
Speaker 2: I think it is good perspective that it can be
32:03
Speaker 2: to try to find something about that makes you feel
32:05
Speaker 2: good about where we are, even though what we just occurred,
32:10
Speaker 2: what just occurred to us. I think that's a thing
32:12
Speaker 2: that's good.
32:12
Speaker 1: I think it's healthy.
32:13
Speaker 2: I think that there's something to be said about trying
32:16
Speaker 2: to find something that makes you feel a little bit
32:18
Speaker 2: better considering the way last night went.
32:20
Speaker 3: Well.
32:20
Speaker 1: I know this like from a physical standpoint, like I
32:23
Speaker 1: used to be in pretty phenomenal shape when I moved here.
32:26
Speaker 1: I was about as fit as I've ever been in
32:28
Speaker 1: my entire life. I'm not right now, And for me,
32:31
Speaker 1: it feels like I'm back at the bottom of the
32:34
Speaker 1: mountain and I got to climb my way all the
32:36
Speaker 1: way back up to and that's very intimidating for me.
32:40
Speaker 1: And yet everybody that will tell you that is you know,
32:44
Speaker 1: into fitness, will tell you no, because you have that
32:48
Speaker 1: history with it, it'll come back faster than it will
32:51
Speaker 1: be for somebody that truly is starting at the bottom
32:53
Speaker 1: of the mountain and trying to get healthy again. I
32:56
Speaker 1: relate that to the mariners, because we're not going to
32:57
Speaker 1: start at the bottom of the mountain next day. I mean,
33:00
Speaker 1: we're gonna start in a really good place next year
33:02
Speaker 1: with a really great foundation of some outstanding young pitchers
33:06
Speaker 1: who still have multiple years left on their first contracts.
33:10
Speaker 1: Even Luis Castillo has multiple years left on his deals.
33:14
Speaker 1: We've got a foundation of Julio and Cal that has
33:16
Speaker 1: not just signed for a couple more years, they're signed
33:19
Speaker 1: for like a decade together to build around. And we've
33:23
Speaker 1: got the number one farm system in the sport by
33:26
Speaker 1: some measurements out there, that's going to help supplement this team.
33:30
Speaker 1: We're also going to be clearing a lot of caps,
33:32
Speaker 1: or not cap space, but payroll space, with Mitch Haniger's
33:36
Speaker 1: contract coming off the books, and Mitch Garver's and Dylan
33:40
Speaker 1: Moore's and Donovan Solano's, so we should be able to
33:43
Speaker 1: without much sweat, be able to resign Josh Naylor and
33:46
Speaker 1: maybe even a Jorge Polanco, maybe not Gino two. I
33:50
Speaker 1: don't know how they'll do it, but this team is
33:54
Speaker 1: not just gonna win next year. And maybe you don't
33:57
Speaker 1: want to hear it, but I'm gonna say it anyway
33:59
Speaker 1: because it's feels appropriate now that the season has come
34:01
Speaker 1: to a close. This team's set up to win and
34:04
Speaker 1: win big for the next decade, and that is credit
34:09
Speaker 1: to Jerry Depoto and Justin Hollander. I know that they've
34:13
Speaker 1: done some frustrating things here in the recent years, and
34:15
Speaker 1: I know that they haven't gone for it as often
34:17
Speaker 1: as they should. I think they finally did this year.
34:20
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of hoping that they've learned from their
34:22
Speaker 1: major weaknesses and have corrected them this year because there
34:26
Speaker 1: are so many strengths with them and with the organization
34:29
Speaker 1: and what the foundation that we have to build off of.
34:32
Speaker 1: I think we're going to go on a really great run,
34:36
Speaker 1: and I think we are going to make it to
34:38
Speaker 1: the World Series multiple times, and I think we are
34:40
Speaker 1: going to win at least one in the next ten years.
34:43
Speaker 1: And I know that that doesn't feel good right now,
34:46
Speaker 1: but I'd sure much rather be in this position than
34:49
Speaker 1: in almost any other twenty five other franchises in Major
34:54
Speaker 1: League Baseball. We are in a fortunate position. We got
34:57
Speaker 1: one of the best five situations probably in a league
35:00
Speaker 1: baseball going right now.
35:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean it feels like, you know, anyway
35:05
Speaker 2: it's went through a breakup and somebody goes, well, there's
35:06
Speaker 2: a lot more fish in the sea, and I mean
35:08
Speaker 2: the fish are other baseball seasons. Yes, that's true, but
35:11
Speaker 2: right now my heart hurts and I just want that fish,
35:15
Speaker 2: the fish that I just was dating, and so that's
35:18
Speaker 2: weird of dating a fish. But anyways, I mean.
35:20
Speaker 1: The Academy Award one time, that's true, that is true.
35:26
Speaker 1: I am wondering if really happy, and I mean, yeah,
35:31
Speaker 1: we just wanted to be Darryl him mermaid.
35:33
Speaker 2: I mean, who doesn't want a mermaid? That's I thought
35:36
Speaker 2: you were talking about like fish called Wander or something.
35:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was good too.
35:39
Speaker 1: No, there was that movie though, like one Academy Award.
35:42
Speaker 1: It was where the woman fell in love with a fish.
35:44
Speaker 3: Oh I don't remember that one. Oh yeah, I think
35:47
Speaker 3: you're talking about fish called Wanda too, and then splash
35:50
Speaker 3: obviously half fish half human.
35:51
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, or regardless, if you want to date a fish,
35:54
Speaker 2: we're going to have another fish next season, and it's
35:57
Speaker 2: going to be a good looking fish. I mean, they
35:59
Speaker 2: got some work to do to figure out who you're
36:01
Speaker 2: bringing back that isn't locked up. But yeah, if you
36:04
Speaker 2: just look at what is locked up, you've still got
36:07
Speaker 2: majority of this team coming back. And I'll just say this,
36:11
Speaker 2: I don't think this team played anywhere near where their
36:14
Speaker 2: ceiling is. I mean, I think the pitching stacker the
36:16
Speaker 2: majority of the season to some degree, injured Bryce Miller.
36:21
Speaker 2: I think we saw here at the end and in
36:23
Speaker 2: the playoffs pitching like real Bryce Miller, where he was
36:26
Speaker 2: pitching with that bone spur and some injuries throughout the
36:29
Speaker 2: course of the season, you know. I mean, I think
36:32
Speaker 2: cal Rawley maybe played up to like his ceiling. But
36:35
Speaker 2: for the most part, I think that there's still is
36:37
Speaker 2: a lot of room for growth. I think this team
36:38
Speaker 2: still is young and and yeah, I'm expecting to have
36:42
Speaker 2: another similar ride. Now, nothing is guaranteed that you're going
36:46
Speaker 2: to get three innings away from making a World Series.
36:49
Speaker 2: It's the playoffs are difficult. You're can play in some
36:50
Speaker 2: good teams. But yeah, I'm looking forward. I think the
36:53
Speaker 2: future is bright, and yet right now it just hurts.
36:56
Speaker 1: The Shape of Water twenty seventeen Picture of the Year.
37:00
Speaker 1: Found it by just typing into Google Fish Woman Love
37:03
Speaker 1: Movie and it popped right up. Oh yeah, I like
