- 3:38Speaker 4: It is the great Greg Cosell. Oh, Greg, how are
- 3:40Speaker 4: you Ian?
- 3:42Speaker 5: How are you God?
- 3:43Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 3:43Speaker 5: That's right, I forgot it's Monday night football this week. Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah, we have and what we're really hoping for in
- 3:50Speaker 2: Seattle because We're not good here, Greg at multitasking, Like,
- 3:53Speaker 2: we're not good at multitasking at all. What we need
- 3:57Speaker 2: is a Mariner win tonight and a Mariner win on Sunday,
- 4:00Speaker 2: and then we can focus on Monday night football on Monday.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Because I know this Andrews backed me up. Is there
- 4:06Speaker 2: any chance that this town can multitask and do all
- 4:08Speaker 2: those things at once on Monday?
- 4:10Speaker 4: Absolutely no chance.
- 4:13Speaker 5: A game second, it would be Monday as well. Game
- 4:16Speaker 5: seven is Monday.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it would be earlier. It would probably be
- 4:20Speaker 2: what a five o'clock game, I think, Yeah, five o'clock
- 4:23Speaker 2: hard time, Yeah, five o'clock Pacific, and then seven o'clock
- 4:26Speaker 2: Pacific is the Seahawks game right next door where Jimmy's
- 4:29Speaker 2: on first right next door over there at lumin Field, Greg.
- 4:31Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, wow, yeah, see what happens.
- 4:34Speaker 2: That's what big markets do. You you're in Philadelphia, you
- 4:36Speaker 2: know big markets do that. You have lots of things
- 4:38Speaker 2: going on at once. We're just not used to it here,
- 4:40Speaker 2: that's all.
- 4:40Speaker 4: That's all.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Yeah, but this is a good thing to be used to.
- 4:43Speaker 5: You know, you got the Mariners and then you got
- 4:45Speaker 5: the Seahawks playing really good football.
- 4:47Speaker 4: I'm with you, all right, let me get into the Hawks.
- 4:49Speaker 2: First of all, they go to Jacksonville get a big
- 4:52Speaker 2: win last week, Greg and the defense, which we talked
- 4:54Speaker 2: about a lot last week at Nauseaum about what their
- 4:57Speaker 2: struggles against Baker Mayfield and the Bucks. That defense last
- 5:00Speaker 2: this week really pretty much shut down Trevor Lawrence and
- 5:04Speaker 2: Jacksonville even without some key guys in that secondary.
- 5:06Speaker 4: What did you see from that Seahawk defense?
- 5:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the D line was the really dominating
- 5:12Speaker 5: four seen because they did not blitz very much at all.
- 5:15Speaker 5: They only rushed five or more on eight of Trevor
- 5:18Speaker 5: Lawrence's fifty dropbacks. That is a very low percentage of
- 5:22Speaker 5: blitz pressure. The other forty two were four man D
- 5:27Speaker 5: line pass rushers. For the most part. There was a
- 5:29Speaker 5: sim pressure thrown in here or there, but they really
- 5:32Speaker 5: generated a high pressure rate. I mean they and that
- 5:36Speaker 5: increased dramatically on third down. The D line really generated
- 5:40Speaker 5: a ton of pressure on Trevor Lawrence and you saw
- 5:43Speaker 5: what happened. The Jaguars were awful on third down. They
- 5:46Speaker 5: were four for sixteen and it was just a really
- 5:50Speaker 5: really strong performance. They stunted effectively at times, they had sacks,
- 5:56Speaker 5: a couple of sacks where the stunts were really effective.
- 5:59Speaker 4: It was just it was one of those.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Performances by a d line that you hope you can
- 6:03Speaker 5: get almost every week because now you can keep seven
- 6:06Speaker 5: in coverage and then you feel that the numbers game
- 6:09Speaker 5: benefits you.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Greg, I don't think we've mentioned this guy's name since
- 6:13Speaker 2: they signed him, brought him in in the spring, and
- 6:17Speaker 2: obviously he's been hurt quite a bit, but you know
- 6:19Speaker 2: you've watched him for many, many years.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence is now a Seahawk. I'm not sure. I'm sorry,
- 6:25Speaker 4: DeMarcus Lawrence, this is a Sewk.
- 6:28Speaker 5: I thought you were giving me a scoop there, and
- 6:29Speaker 5: I'm like, did I just miss something?
- 6:31Speaker 4: I don't know. What does he do for this team
- 6:34Speaker 4: that on that edge?
- 6:37Speaker 5: Well, first of all, he's very, very good in the
- 6:40Speaker 5: run game. You know, he understands how to set the edge.
- 6:43Speaker 5: He understands how to play run defense. And that's all
- 6:45Speaker 5: off and overlooked when you talk about defensive ends because
- 6:48Speaker 5: we all think about how many sacks does he have?
- 6:51Speaker 5: But he's a really good He's one of those technique players.
- 6:56Speaker 5: You know, he understands the fundamentals of the position. He understands,
- 6:59Speaker 5: you know, to go back to the old Bill Belichick saying,
- 7:01Speaker 5: you know, do your job. He's one of those guys.
- 7:04Speaker 5: But he can rush the quarterback. I mean he did
- 7:07Speaker 5: have that sack on third and nine to late in
- 7:08Speaker 5: the first half. That came out of a stun concept
- 7:11Speaker 5: where we saw Williams with a strong push. He was
- 7:15Speaker 5: the penetrator.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Lawrence was the.
- 7:19Speaker 5: The looper, I believe, and Lawrence ran him down. Lawrence
- 7:22Speaker 5: ran down Lawrence, as it were. But DeMarcus Lawrence is
- 7:25Speaker 5: just a really, really good player. Not the same pass
- 7:28Speaker 5: rusher he was years ago, but just a really solid
- 7:31Speaker 5: football player.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Did you like that, scoop, I gave you Lawrence for
- 7:34Speaker 4: Lawrence here? Did you like that? Yeah?
- 7:36Speaker 5: The other guy who needs to be talked about, and
- 7:38Speaker 5: this is what they hoped when they drafted him. You know,
- 7:42Speaker 5: the second defensive player drafted a year ago is Byron Murphy.
- 7:45Speaker 5: He's starting to really play well. I mean, he's becoming
- 7:48Speaker 5: disruptive as an inside pass rusher in he's starting to
- 7:51Speaker 5: more consistently show the quickness off the ball and threw
- 7:55Speaker 5: the rush that defined his tape in college. When I
- 7:58Speaker 5: you know I did him in great detail when he
- 7:59Speaker 5: came out, and I thought this guy would be a
- 8:01Speaker 5: really good pro. And obviously his rookie season was hampered
- 8:04Speaker 5: by some injuries. We couldn't really get to see him
- 8:08Speaker 5: play with the traits that we saw in college. And
- 8:11Speaker 5: now that's really starting to show up.
- 8:13Speaker 2: You know, we've been doing this for a long time.
- 8:15Speaker 2: When that was on that that was my next question
- 8:16Speaker 2: for you. It was Byron Murphy like, that's that's that's
- 8:18Speaker 2: how I know you and I've been doing this for
- 8:20Speaker 2: a while.
- 8:20Speaker 5: You you mean I'm thinking, like you, I better get
- 8:24Speaker 5: a check out.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I would.
- 8:26Speaker 2: I would schedule that as ap because I got baseball, hockey,
- 8:30Speaker 2: and football on my mind right now.
- 8:31Speaker 4: I'm all over the place.
- 8:32Speaker 2: But I want to go back to Murphy for a
- 8:33Speaker 2: second because now the first sack, I think, you know,
- 8:35Speaker 2: Lawrence held the ball for like six seconds, like six
- 8:37Speaker 2: and a half seconds on that full sack. But what
- 8:40Speaker 2: are specifically like when we when we talked about Murphy
- 8:43Speaker 2: before and then after the draft last year, and you
- 8:45Speaker 2: mentioned like he had those injuries, he was never really
- 8:48Speaker 2: I'm guessing never fully healthy last season. He's got a
- 8:50Speaker 2: lot on his plate right now. Premature baby just came
- 8:53Speaker 2: and and yet he comes out and has that type
- 8:55Speaker 2: of game. What is it that separates him from other
- 8:58Speaker 2: What is it that really separated him from other guys
- 9:00Speaker 2: last year? And why do you think it take besides injuries,
- 9:02Speaker 2: takes a little bit of time for some of these
- 9:04Speaker 2: d linemen really make an impact.
- 9:07Speaker 5: Well, I think just the transition from the fact that
- 9:09Speaker 5: it's college football now you're playing against grown men. But
- 9:13Speaker 5: what he has is that combination for his body type
- 9:16Speaker 5: because he's not tall, as you know, he has tremendous
- 9:20Speaker 5: foot quickness for that body type you normally don't see.
- 9:23Speaker 5: And I'm not gonna sit here and say he's Aaron Donald,
- 9:25Speaker 5: that's silly, But I mean, he has that tremendous foot
- 9:27Speaker 5: quickness for a man who's built like that, and therefore
- 9:30Speaker 5: he can play low and generate power, you know, because
- 9:34Speaker 5: you know, power is one of those things that you know,
- 9:37Speaker 5: what is the saying in football you have to be
- 9:39Speaker 5: lower than the guy you're playing against. And he's naturally
- 9:42Speaker 5: lower than the guy he's playing against. So he has
- 9:45Speaker 5: really great foot quickness combined with power. That's why he
- 9:48Speaker 5: was viewed. Look, I remembered the draft last year. I
- 9:51Speaker 5: don't make lists, as you know, but I know there
- 9:53Speaker 5: are a lot of people who thought he was the
- 9:55Speaker 5: best non quarterback prospect in the draft, and he was
- 9:59Speaker 5: a really good price aspect because of his combination of traits. Now,
- 10:02Speaker 5: I don't know where you're going next, but there's another
- 10:04Speaker 5: guy who you know that I really liked coming out,
- 10:07Speaker 5: and now that he's healthy, he is a major factor
- 10:10Speaker 5: in this defense. And you can probably you can probably
- 10:13Speaker 5: say the name without me having to, and then we
- 10:15Speaker 5: can talk about him.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Nick Emon Worri. You got it, and you see now.
- 10:22Speaker 6: What he is.
- 10:23Speaker 5: I mean, I thought he was the best safety prospect
- 10:26Speaker 5: coming out. He's so multi dimensional. He's essentially their slot corner,
- 10:30Speaker 5: which you know, he's their nickel, and he can do
- 10:33Speaker 5: all that. And now that he's fully healthy, you're seeing
- 10:36Speaker 5: just how multiple he is in what he can do.
- 10:40Speaker 4: And you see that.
- 10:41Speaker 5: You know, Mike McDonald had experience with that with Kyle
- 10:43Speaker 5: Hamilton in Baltimore, and I think him and Orri is
- 10:46Speaker 5: somewhat of a similar player. And you know, just length, movement,
- 10:50Speaker 5: can do a lot of different things. You can line
- 10:52Speaker 5: him up anywhere, and I think, you know, we talked
- 10:56Speaker 5: about this before the season when we started, before he
- 10:59Speaker 5: got hurt, and I think he's just a key and
- 11:03Speaker 5: absolute key to what they can do going forward with
- 11:06Speaker 5: this defense.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Greg co Sail brought to by Seattle Sider. If you're
- 11:09Speaker 2: down here, Jimmy's on first or anywhere down here before
- 11:11Speaker 2: the game today in game five of the Alcs that
- 11:15Speaker 2: T Mobile Park, make sure you ask for a Seattle Cider.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Fantastic stuff. You can also stop by the tap them
- 11:19Speaker 4: all the way down. It's now open, family friendly for
- 11:23Speaker 4: all ages.
- 11:23Speaker 2: They got food before the game just south of the stadium,
- 11:25Speaker 2: so good place to stop before the game. Greg, let's
- 11:28Speaker 2: what are the Seahawks defense? We just talked about what
- 11:29Speaker 2: are they gonna see in and CJ. Stroud in that
- 11:31Speaker 2: Texans offense?
- 11:33Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's funny. Every week's a different week,
- 11:35Speaker 5: as you know, so you don't want to sit here
- 11:36Speaker 5: and say, oh boy, the Texans O line hasn't played great,
- 11:40Speaker 5: which they haven't, so therefore the Seahawks are going to
- 11:42Speaker 5: do the same thing. Now, Ian they could do the
- 11:44Speaker 5: same thing, I mean, because they're better than the O
- 11:47Speaker 5: line they're playing against. But you know, the coaching staff
- 11:49Speaker 5: for the Texans knows that too, so we'll see how
- 11:53Speaker 5: the Texans choose to come out. They've not been able
- 11:55Speaker 5: to run the ball very well until they had their
- 11:58Speaker 5: get well game against the Tennessee Titan, you know, and
- 12:00Speaker 5: again the Titans are not a very good football team.
- 12:02Speaker 5: The Texans had really struggled with pass protection Stroud. You know,
- 12:08Speaker 5: you know what it's like if your quarterback is under
- 12:11Speaker 5: a lot of pressure. It's just human nature. No matter
- 12:13Speaker 5: how good you are or how great you are in
- 12:15Speaker 5: the pocket, and Stroud is a pure pocket quarterback, you
- 12:18Speaker 5: start to anticipate that you're going to be pressured. So
- 12:21Speaker 5: therefore you start to perceive that it's going to be
- 12:24Speaker 5: there before it's there. You want to make sure, if
- 12:26Speaker 5: you're the Seahawks and Seahawks fans, that you feel that
- 12:30Speaker 5: you can get Stroud to play like that early. You
- 12:32Speaker 5: can get him playing fast. That's the term we often
- 12:35Speaker 5: use that your quarterbacks just start to play fast, which
- 12:38Speaker 5: means that physically they play fast and then mentally they
- 12:42Speaker 5: slow down. That's sort of the way it works. If
- 12:44Speaker 5: you start playing fast physically, you start playing slower mentally.
- 12:48Speaker 2: All right, I believe that Sam dartled and that Seahawks
- 12:52Speaker 2: offense are going to have a pretty big test against
- 12:54Speaker 2: that Texans defense.
- 12:55Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, this is a really good defense. That's the
- 12:58Speaker 5: strength here is a really really good defense. They play
- 13:02Speaker 5: a high percentage of nickel because of Jalen Petrie. You know,
- 13:05Speaker 5: he is in a sense a totally different player, but
- 13:08Speaker 5: he's there. Nick Vinari, he doesn't come off the field,
- 13:10Speaker 5: even though he's not a pure corner, you know, just
- 13:13Speaker 5: like Evin Wori is not a pure corner. He doesn't
- 13:16Speaker 5: come off the field. So they're a high percentage nickel defense.
- 13:19Speaker 5: You know, you've got to be able to protect against
- 13:21Speaker 5: those two edged players. Ian I mean, Will Anderson is
- 13:24Speaker 5: a top three speed to power pass rusher in this league.
- 13:27Speaker 5: You know, both Charles Cross and Abe Lucas they better
- 13:31Speaker 5: be prepared to set a firm base and be strong
- 13:35Speaker 5: because Anderson will run right through you.
- 13:37Speaker 4: The deal.
- 13:38Speaker 5: Danelle Hunter is a little different. He can be speed
- 13:41Speaker 5: to power on occasion, but he's a little bendier. He's
- 13:43Speaker 5: a little more flexible. You know, he can have more moves,
- 13:47Speaker 5: so to speak. But you have to block those two guys. Now,
- 13:51Speaker 5: the question is are they going to field? They have
- 13:53Speaker 5: to keep people in to do that or can they
- 13:56Speaker 5: do one on one pass protection with Lucas and Cross,
- 13:59Speaker 5: which you'd love to be able to do.
- 14:02Speaker 4: I feel like Lucas has struggled this year, Am I
- 14:04Speaker 4: right in that regard?
- 14:05Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 14:06Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 14:07Speaker 5: And Cross has been very good. I mean, yeah, that's funny.
- 14:09Speaker 5: You know, we talked about Cross in previous years and
- 14:12Speaker 5: he had struggled, and this year I think he's played
- 14:14Speaker 5: his best football. And Lucas I think has had some
- 14:17Speaker 5: tough snaps and some tough reps.
- 14:20Speaker 4: What is it with Lucas? Is it just the first step?
- 14:22Speaker 4: Is it? I mean, because he's boy.
- 14:24Speaker 2: When he was healthy the last time, which was his
- 14:27Speaker 2: rookie year four years ago, it felt like he could
- 14:29Speaker 2: leave him on an island and he was a lead
- 14:31Speaker 2: out there. And I don't know if the injuries have
- 14:33Speaker 2: just caught up to him. He is healthy, like, as
- 14:35Speaker 2: far as I know, he's healthier than he's been since
- 14:37Speaker 2: that rookie year. But what do you see on tape
- 14:39Speaker 2: from Abe Lucas.
- 14:40Speaker 5: I can tell the thing that they're going to absolutely
- 14:43Speaker 5: will have worked with him on this week, and you know,
- 14:45Speaker 5: being fortunate enough to go to a great event called
- 14:47Speaker 5: Olne master Minds and learning a lot about you know,
- 14:50Speaker 5: offensive tackle play. The thing you have to do is,
- 14:54Speaker 5: particularly if it's going to be you know, there's three
- 14:56Speaker 5: kinds of pass sets. There's short sets, there's forty five
- 14:59Speaker 5: degree sets, and there's vertical sets. Now, if you're talking
- 15:02Speaker 5: about forty five degree in vertical sets, you must be
- 15:05Speaker 5: able to get to your spot and set a firm base.
- 15:08Speaker 5: If you get caught where you're still moving and you
- 15:11Speaker 5: don't have a firm base and you're playing against Will Anderson,
- 15:14Speaker 5: he is going to run through you. And he does
- 15:16Speaker 5: tend to line up more on that side of the
- 15:19Speaker 5: of the offense than the other side. So Lucas is
- 15:22Speaker 5: going to see a lot of Will Anderson. And I
- 15:24Speaker 5: guarantee that Will Anderson is I'm not nobody in the
- 15:28Speaker 5: NFL thinks, oh, this week is going to be easy.
- 15:29Speaker 5: It's the NFL play. You know, every coach has never
- 15:32Speaker 5: talked like that. They ingrain that in players. But I
- 15:35Speaker 5: guarantee Will Anderson believes, based on tape study, that he
- 15:38Speaker 5: can have some really good reps against a Lucas. If
- 15:41Speaker 5: Lucas he needs to set that firm base. You know,
- 15:44Speaker 5: the term they use is you got to set your house.
- 15:46Speaker 5: If he doesn't set his house before Anderson gets into
- 15:48Speaker 5: his chest, he's going to get driven back.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I wonder the running the football saying we talk about
- 15:55Speaker 2: a lot, and Mike McDonald said on Thursday Greg that
- 15:59Speaker 2: he's still kind of backed up his their philosophy of
- 16:02Speaker 2: still splitting reps with Sharbone and Walker much to the like,
- 16:07Speaker 2: I don't want to say chagrin, but I think a
- 16:08Speaker 2: lot of us kind of raise an eyebrow myself, a
- 16:11Speaker 2: lot of us on the air, Hugh Millen, You and
- 16:13Speaker 2: I have talked about that as well.
- 16:15Speaker 4: I just I don't quite get what they're doing in
- 16:17Speaker 4: that regard.
- 16:18Speaker 5: Well, you know, I've tried to study that in detail
- 16:21Speaker 5: when I watch each guy run, you know, and this
- 16:24Speaker 5: could is the only thing that I truly can come
- 16:27Speaker 5: up with. Okay, And maybe it's the answer, maybe it's not.
- 16:30Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker is a is a big play back, He's
- 16:34Speaker 5: a searcher. So what happens a lot if he doesn't
- 16:37Speaker 5: feel like the whole is clean, he bounces. So what
- 16:41Speaker 5: happens a lot is instead of getting three or four
- 16:44Speaker 5: hard earned yards, which keep your offense on schedule and
- 16:48Speaker 5: open up your playbooks see that's the thing. Now you're
- 16:50Speaker 5: opening up your playbook. Charboneau has nowhere near the talent.
- 16:56Speaker 5: Charbone I guess its charmon Ague has nowhere near the talent.
- 16:58Speaker 5: But he will just hit it up in there, and
- 17:00Speaker 5: even though he doesn't look quick doing it, he might
- 17:03Speaker 5: get two or three yards and all of a sudden
- 17:05Speaker 5: it's second and seven and not second and twelve. You know,
- 17:08Speaker 5: Walker does have that tendency now every once in a while.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Obviously he does get outside and you see the speed
- 17:14Speaker 5: and the juice and it looks really good. But I
- 17:17Speaker 5: would guess they're working with him on the fact that, hey,
- 17:20Speaker 5: you've got to hit it up in there. We want
- 17:23Speaker 5: those three yards. We don't want minus two, we want
- 17:25Speaker 5: those three yards. And then there's a balance because the
- 17:28Speaker 5: thing with the running backs, and I've learned this from
- 17:30Speaker 5: coaches over the years, is you don't want to take
- 17:32Speaker 5: away their instincts. So you got to be careful about
- 17:34Speaker 5: how you deal with that, because you don't want him
- 17:36Speaker 5: to run robotically where he thinks, Okay, the play's designed
- 17:40Speaker 5: to hit this gap. I better just run into that
- 17:42Speaker 5: gap no matter what, because then you're taking away.
- 17:45Speaker 2: His instincts all right, I'm gonna wrap it up before
- 17:48Speaker 2: I get to baseball, and back to baseball in Game five.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Here in a second, Greg, guy, we're here. Jimmy's on first.
- 17:52Speaker 2: I had a general question I thought of you last
- 17:55Speaker 2: night in this regard you. When we tell people that
- 17:59Speaker 2: have listened to you over the years with us, you
- 18:01Speaker 2: know this what you're You're not watching anything with any
- 18:03Speaker 2: subjective nature. You watch it as objectively as you can.
- 18:06Speaker 2: You watch a tape, and that's what you come up with.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I feel like I think a lot of it. This
- 18:11Speaker 2: is one of the strangest years in the National Football
- 18:13Speaker 2: League I can remember, and last night it was brought
- 18:17Speaker 2: home with a team that had one loss all year
- 18:19Speaker 2: to Seattle in Pittsburgh and the battle of the forty
- 18:22Speaker 2: year old quarterbacks and somehow Joe Flacco after being there,
- 18:26Speaker 2: you know, less than two calendar weeks, get to win
- 18:29Speaker 2: for Cincinnati. Greg, is this the strangest year you can
- 18:32Speaker 2: remember it a while? And again, that's a subjective question,
- 18:34Speaker 2: which you're not into. But I gotta ask you that anyway,
- 18:36Speaker 2: I thought of you last night.
- 18:38Speaker 5: Well, I know when we shot the matchup show, sal
- 18:40Speaker 5: Pell had this stat about parody that it's been and
- 18:43Speaker 5: I don't remember the exact stat, but it's something like
- 18:45Speaker 5: the most in forty four years. It's some ridiculous stat.
- 18:50Speaker 5: But how about my buddy Joe Flackhall. You know, he's
- 18:53Speaker 5: right from South Jersey here, so I know Joe Jone's
- 18:55Speaker 5: going to be able to throw the ball like that
- 18:57Speaker 5: when he's fifty years old or sixty years old, gonna
- 19:00Speaker 5: look exactly the same.
- 19:02Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. Then, Oh my gosh, I mean,
- 19:05Speaker 2: but that's isn't it crazy? Like you? Part of it
- 19:07Speaker 2: is probably the injuries, right, there's a lot of key
- 19:09Speaker 2: injuries around the leage, quarterback injuries and so forth. I
- 19:11Speaker 2: think that probably changes that changes the dynamic. And we've
- 19:14Speaker 2: seen that, you know with our guy Sam Darnold, I mean,
- 19:16Speaker 2: a healthy Sam Darnold has made a massive difference here, right,
- 19:19Speaker 2: Like that's it's as simple as that, like Sam Darnld
- 19:21Speaker 2: being out by the difference.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Just as a quick as side, it seems that Smith
- 19:24Speaker 5: and Jigg has done okay lining up outside.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Huh, what.
- 19:32Speaker 4: You're not saying?
- 19:32Speaker 2: He's not saying that for me because I was never
- 19:34Speaker 2: the one that question that. But that was the thing
- 19:36Speaker 2: is like people, Oh, can he do this?
- 19:37Speaker 4: Is he going to be? Can he play action?
- 19:39Speaker 5: Can you all the same up on the outside on
- 19:40Speaker 5: eighty one of his offensive snaps this season? So I
- 19:43Speaker 5: guess it's it's kind of worked out, okay, when you
- 19:46Speaker 5: know when they signed a Cooper Cup and everybody got
- 19:48Speaker 5: all excited of what a terrible thing, and you know,
- 19:51Speaker 5: I told you how silly that was, And I think
- 19:52Speaker 5: it's kind of worked out.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Okay.
- 19:54Speaker 2: That's why we have you on because we like to
- 19:56Speaker 2: hear when you tell people that they're silly. Not this host, obviously,
- 19:59Speaker 2: but others along the way outside of my break outside
- 20:01Speaker 2: my breaking news about a Lawrence coming to Seattle not
- 20:03Speaker 2: named DeMarcus.
- 20:05Speaker 4: All right, Greg, you're absolutely the best.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us today on this baseball Friday for
- 20:11Speaker 2: us here at Jimmy's on first and we got Monday
- 20:14Speaker 2: night football.

- 20:27Speaker 5: Yeah, Well I've already had my milk and cookies and
- 20:29Speaker 5: I'm sleepy.
- 20:33Speaker 2: What does the tape say on the milk and cookies
- 20:35Speaker 2: for Greg. Are we going chocolate chip? What are we
- 20:37Speaker 2: going with?
- 20:39Speaker 4: That's what I want to know about. I'm a guy.
- 20:42Speaker 4: There you go. I love that. Greg, Thank you so much.
- 20:44Speaker 4: We'll talk to you soon, all right.

- 22:25Speaker 4: How are you softy?
- 22:27Speaker 10: Uh?
- 22:27Speaker 9: Well, I'm about to lose my voice, man, and it's
- 22:29Speaker 9: only one thirty, so I may have to take a
- 22:31Speaker 9: little bit of a time out.
- 22:33Speaker 11: Is I was thinking of you because on Tuesday morning
- 22:37Speaker 11: it was about the best four days of sports that
- 22:40Speaker 11: I can remember for fellows like me.
- 22:42Speaker 9: The Mirrors Yeah, won three playoff games.
- 22:45Speaker 11: Devon Williams had thrown for four hundred, running for one
- 22:48Speaker 11: hundred with you and the audience Seahawks. The Seahawks had
- 22:53Speaker 11: beat the long Hair in Jackson, but what the hell happened?
- 22:56Speaker 9: Wow, Well, here's the deal man, and you look. I'm
- 23:00Speaker 9: I'm trying to save my best stuff for three o'clock.
- 23:01Speaker 9: So I don't want to blow my entire wad right now.
- 23:04Speaker 4: I was telling you, I don't want you to blow
- 23:06Speaker 4: your entire wad either. No, I know you don't. I
- 23:08Speaker 4: know you don't, all right, you know I like you,
- 23:09Speaker 4: but not that Well.
- 23:10Speaker 9: So here's the thing, Danny. I don't know if there's
- 23:13Speaker 9: a game in Mariner history that could impact the Mariner
- 23:16Speaker 9: fan base mood quicker one way or the other to
- 23:20Speaker 9: an extreme the way this game will at three o'clock today.
- 23:24Speaker 9: We win this thing at three o'clock today, and we're
- 23:26Speaker 9: spending the next two days until Sunday night dreaming about
- 23:29Speaker 9: winning one game to go to the World Series.
- 23:31Speaker 4: We lose this game today, there's.
- 23:33Speaker 9: Not enough freaking pepto bismol for me to put into
- 23:36Speaker 9: my gut between now and Sunday night. So I don't
- 23:39Speaker 9: know if they've ever played a more impactful game, honestly,
- 23:42Speaker 9: in their team's history.
- 23:44Speaker 12: The last two times they've been in the American League
- 23:46Speaker 12: Championship Series.
- 23:48Speaker 9: They've been behind three to one.
- 23:49Speaker 4: At this point.
- 23:50Speaker 5: This is right.
- 23:50Speaker 11: This is the best spot they've been in since nineteen
- 23:53Speaker 11: ninety five.
- 23:53Speaker 4: And in nineteen ninety five.
- 23:54Speaker 11: We're so hopped up off the double. They're in the
- 23:56Speaker 11: playoffs for the first time. We don't even realize how
- 23:59Speaker 11: special that was. But right now I agree with you
- 24:02Speaker 11: when this game and everything feels different.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
- 24:06Speaker 9: All right, I got some French fries to you, guys talking.
- 24:08Speaker 9: I'll talk to you at two o'clock. That's Dave Saftie Mahler.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, Danny, there's some there's a level of I was
- 24:15Speaker 2: telling Anders off the air, I came here, calm, everything's fine.
- 24:21Speaker 4: I'm feeling the.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Stress now, man, this place is. There is a lot
- 24:25Speaker 2: of stress along Sodo right now.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Man, it is.
- 24:28Speaker 2: It's amazing how a few days can change the whole
- 24:31Speaker 2: dynamic of how we feel.
- 24:33Speaker 9: Yeah, and there is something big.
- 24:36Speaker 11: Basketball playoff series are the same way, where when they're
- 24:39Speaker 11: going you just overreact in the moment to each individual
- 24:45Speaker 11: result in a way that's different the NFL playoffs.
- 24:48Speaker 9: You build up to one game and then you react
- 24:51Speaker 9: to it for an entire week.
- 24:52Speaker 11: It's not the same sort of thing where here you've
- 24:55Speaker 11: had three straight days of playoff games, and I'm glad
- 24:59Speaker 11: to hear that there's excitement and that we don't have
- 25:01Speaker 11: The series is tied to two. However, you felt when
- 25:05Speaker 11: this series started in Toronto, there's no logical reason that
- 25:10Speaker 11: you should feel the Mariners have a worse chance now
- 25:13Speaker 11: than they did when this series started. When the series started,
- 25:16Speaker 11: they're in Toronto against a deep lineup with the Blue
- 25:19Speaker 11: Jays and their bullpens.
- 25:21Speaker 4: Tax because of what happened against Detroit, they're not The.
- 25:24Speaker 11: Pitching staff is more arrested, but that's not a concern
- 25:27Speaker 11: at this point. They're in as good as shape to
- 25:30Speaker 11: win this series as they were when it began.
- 25:32Speaker 4: That's a no. And that's the thing, Danny.
- 25:34Speaker 2: If they would have been down too oh came back
- 25:36Speaker 2: and won the last two and it's two two right now,
- 25:38Speaker 2: everyone would feel different. I'm glad you brought up the
- 25:41Speaker 2: difference between football and this because I think that's a
- 25:43Speaker 2: that's an important part of the puzzle here. You know
- 25:46Speaker 2: we are listen. You mentioned ninety five. I would almost
- 25:50Speaker 2: equate ninety five with what happened with the Kraken three
- 25:53Speaker 2: years ago, and from this standpoint, huh that that was
- 25:56Speaker 2: the first Those were the first seven game playoff series
- 26:01Speaker 2: that we had had since the heyday of the Sonics
- 26:04Speaker 2: in the in the late nineties early two thousands.
- 26:06Speaker 4: We just we weren't used to it.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Because the last playoff for the Mariners, they played one
- 26:09Speaker 2: home game best of you know, five down two notugh,
- 26:12Speaker 2: and they lose in eighteen. There was nothing like there
- 26:14Speaker 2: just wasn't that same excitement level, the stress of a
- 26:17Speaker 2: seven game And in ninety five, much like with the
- 26:20Speaker 2: crack of three years ago, it was new, right, it
- 26:23Speaker 2: was new. We're happy to be here, this is fun.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Let's just enjoy the ride. There's forty nine years of
- 26:29Speaker 2: a bleak history here, we're no success and so now
- 26:33Speaker 2: we're on the precipice of going to something we've never
- 26:35Speaker 2: seen before. That's called the World Series. And it was
- 26:39Speaker 2: so close, it felt like a few days ago, and
- 26:42Speaker 2: now it feels so far away. But Danny, one win today,
- 26:45Speaker 2: like Softy said, you win today. That feeling is back,
- 26:51Speaker 2: and it's.
- 26:52Speaker 12: Why they say things like momentum in baseball isn't any
- 26:55Speaker 12: better than the next days starting pitcher I'm bummed at
- 26:58Speaker 12: what happened the last two nights and I'm disappointed, and
- 27:01Speaker 12: I'm surprised because I thought that the clear advantage the
- 27:05Speaker 12: Mariners had in this series was starting pitching, and that
- 27:09Speaker 12: should have been.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Really true these past two games, and it wasn't. It wasn't.
- 27:13Speaker 11: The Mariners got out pitched, and that's a huge, huge bummer.
- 27:16Speaker 11: But it doesn't tell us what's gonna happen tonight.
- 27:19Speaker 12: And if the Mariners win tonight, I think they flip
- 27:22Speaker 12: back to being a team that even though they're going
- 27:24Speaker 12: back to Toronto, I like their chances of winning one
- 27:27Speaker 12: of the next two games if they're able to win tonight.
- 27:29Speaker 4: So yeah, I would.
- 27:32Speaker 11: I would agree with Softy that I'm gonna have a
- 27:33Speaker 11: hard time finding much optimism if.
- 27:37Speaker 4: They don't win tonight, But if they do, I'm going
- 27:39Speaker 4: to feel just just as high as I did after
- 27:41Speaker 4: Game two. And that's the thing. It's just, it's it's
- 27:44Speaker 4: all the perception of the reality of the day to
- 27:45Speaker 4: day thing.
- 27:46Speaker 2: In baseball, unlike any other sport, it can change, not
- 27:50Speaker 2: just in a game, it can change in an inning,
- 27:52Speaker 2: right like it can change in an inning. I our
- 27:55Speaker 2: good buddy Mike Benton. He's overcovering it for us as
- 27:57Speaker 2: our reporter across the street. He's watching Andrews was laughing
- 28:00Speaker 2: and Enters were laugh and he's he's watching VP. He's like,
- 28:03Speaker 2: oh my gosh, the Jay's are just hitting missiles right now.
- 28:06Speaker 2: There's I'm like, Mikey, it's batting practice.
- 28:09Speaker 4: Relax.
- 28:11Speaker 3: He's supposed to.
- 28:12Speaker 9: Happen at batting practice.
- 28:13Speaker 4: That's the whole purpose.
- 28:15Speaker 2: It's the only the only thing that worries me is
- 28:17Speaker 2: what you said. And this is why I think it's
- 28:19Speaker 2: also just such a crazy you know, up and down
- 28:22Speaker 2: and ebb and flow. Seattle has the deciding, decided pitching
- 28:26Speaker 2: advantage in all but one game as far as the
- 28:28Speaker 2: starter in this series so far, and that's when they
- 28:31Speaker 2: threw Gossman. Well, all those games they just they're starting pitching.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Seattle's was awful. And guys that are like one hundred
- 28:38Speaker 2: years old, like Sure's are, or you know, their arms
- 28:41Speaker 2: are falling off, like Bieber just shut you down, like
- 28:45Speaker 2: how And and against guys that you think are just
- 28:47Speaker 2: gonna have this huge advantage. Now you've got Gospan against
- 28:49Speaker 2: Miller on paper advantage Toronto.
- 28:52Speaker 4: That's why Seattle wins today, Danny, that's why they win.
- 28:58Speaker 11: I heard someone else had a theory that what we
- 29:00Speaker 11: need to do is get back to complaining about the Manners,
- 29:02Speaker 11: because that's when they do best. Get we got a
- 29:06Speaker 11: little too optimistic and happy about him, and we need
- 29:08Speaker 11: to be demeaning.
- 29:09Speaker 12: Them, which I honestly don't believe. But no, you're exactly
- 29:12Speaker 12: right about how the series has gone.
- 29:15Speaker 11: Bieber had not pitched well, and sure there had been
- 29:18Speaker 11: got off it up until last.
- 29:20Speaker 8: Night, and they went out and put on Vinci's performances.
- 29:23Speaker 4: Hey, when Bryce Miller went out in.
- 29:25Speaker 11: Game one, I thought, not just the way he pitched,
- 29:28Speaker 11: but how long he lasted changed the entire outlook of
- 29:32Speaker 11: the series.
- 29:33Speaker 4: And I've now been I'm probably about seven hours into.
- 29:37Speaker 8: Completely talking myself into the idea that when he went
- 29:40Speaker 8: on the DL and or the injured list and discovered
- 29:43Speaker 8: whatever tell he had that was going on and found
- 29:45Speaker 8: a couple extra miles of velocity, that it entirely.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Changed and he's back to being like he was a
- 29:50Speaker 4: year ago. So I am optimistic.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Which night's game daniel'neil joining us brought to my Northwest
- 29:56Speaker 2: handling systems. I would just I kind of look around,
- 30:00Speaker 2: first of all, and it's been ugly at times with
- 30:03Speaker 2: some stuff in the stands and things like that.
- 30:05Speaker 4: There's another part of me that just loves the fact
- 30:07Speaker 4: is Toronto. I mean the two teams.
- 30:09Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to see the Yankees, but now
- 30:10Speaker 2: the more I think of it, if you're not gonna
- 30:12Speaker 2: see the Astros in the Alcs, make it this team
- 30:15Speaker 2: with the fan base from north of the border, and
- 30:18Speaker 2: there are a ton I was talking a softy off there.
- 30:21Speaker 4: There are a ton of Blue Jays fans here.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I mean the get in price two days ago is
- 30:24Speaker 2: like three hundred plus dollars to sit in the upper
- 30:26Speaker 2: reaches of the upper deck in the corners. The get
- 30:28Speaker 2: in price today is less than hundred bucks. And I
- 30:30Speaker 2: think a lot of Blue Jay fans because it's not
- 30:32Speaker 2: a clincher from the merit for the Mariners, a lot
- 30:34Speaker 2: of Blue Jays fans and be able to buy tickets
- 30:36Speaker 2: on the secondary market. So the atmosphere is gonna be
- 30:37Speaker 2: a little different today. But again it's it's one inning,
- 30:40Speaker 2: Like one inning can flip an entire baseball series, can't it?
- 30:45Speaker 12: Yes, it can, And really it's just a matter of
- 30:48Speaker 12: going out and putting up a couple of runs early
- 30:50Speaker 12: and it's not gonna be really hard.
- 30:51Speaker 11: I was someone who used to when I was there,
- 30:54Speaker 11: make a point of going to multiple games in the
- 30:57Speaker 11: series when Toronto was there because I wanted to hold
- 31:00Speaker 11: ground and defend our.
- 31:01Speaker 4: Stadium against the connuct invasion.
- 31:05Speaker 9: And there have been times when it has really annoyed.
- 31:08Speaker 4: I tend to think Canadians are great.
- 31:10Speaker 12: People and extremely enjoyable, but as a visiting fan base,
- 31:14Speaker 12: they're like any visiting fan base.
- 31:16Speaker 4: They become obnoxious when they get to be too many
- 31:18Speaker 4: of them.
- 31:19Speaker 12: It would be absolutely fantastic to have a bunch of
- 31:21Speaker 12: them there tonight and have them absolutely drowned out by
- 31:25Speaker 12: the decibels of Mariner.
- 31:26Speaker 2: You spend all your loonies and tunies on these tickets,
- 31:28Speaker 2: and guess what, it didn't matter when it was all
- 31:30Speaker 2: said and done, right. I know, I read your column.
- 31:34Speaker 2: You're you're a little bit superstitious. It does feel so
- 31:37Speaker 2: I'm gonna be very careful how I word this. What
- 31:40Speaker 2: do you think when we're talking next Friday, what do
- 31:42Speaker 2: you think we're talking about?
- 31:44Speaker 12: Well, I think we're talking about the first I think
- 31:47Speaker 12: we're gonna be talking about.
- 31:48Speaker 11: A Mariner season that has continued that is ongoing. I'm
- 31:52Speaker 11: not gonna say anything more than that, but I feel
- 31:55Speaker 11: that we will be talking. We will still be talking
- 31:57Speaker 11: about competitive baseball games that this team is playing.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Hey, I'll say this, Dave Nehal said it best. It
- 32:04Speaker 2: just continues, and we'll do that next Friday, my friend,
- 32:07Speaker 2: it just continues.
- 32:08Speaker 13: All right, that's a that sounds great, And I will
- 32:11Speaker 13: leave everyone with this one observation. There was a time
- 32:14Speaker 13: in the year two thousand where I went up to
- 32:17Speaker 13: Victoria and it was a point when I was still
- 32:20Speaker 13: still prone to imbibing or imbibing too much. And as
- 32:23Speaker 13: we went to various drinking establishments, we came across a
- 32:26Speaker 13: bunch of people who were wearing hazmat suits with Florida
- 32:29Speaker 13: Lee's written on them, and they would had a whiteboard
- 32:32Speaker 13: that they would erase and put a word up, and
- 32:34Speaker 13: anytime somebody said the word, they had to all drink.
- 32:37Speaker 4: And we thought it was the Greek system.
- 32:39Speaker 11: We thought it was a fraternity sorority event, and it
- 32:41Speaker 11: turned out to be the Canadian Navy. So just remember
- 32:45Speaker 11: that when you're a wash of all the Blue Jay
- 32:47Speaker 11: fans tonight, that their military was once mistaken for a frat.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Perfect Danny, have a great week. Tell people that day apostrophe.
- 32:59Speaker 4: It is the dang apostrophe that comes out of New
- 33:02Speaker 4: York City.
- 33:02Speaker 11: And if you want to hear stupid, horrible references to
- 33:06Speaker 11: foreign military comparisons like the one you just heard, you
- 33:09Speaker 11: can go to Danny O'Neil dot com, enter your email
- 33:12Speaker 11: and I'll send you an email each and every week.
- 33:14Speaker 4: You're the best. Thanks Budy, I'll talk to you next week.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Take care, guys. Danny O'Neil.
- 33:18Speaker 2: When we come back to Jimmy's on first right outside
- 33:21Speaker 2: the left field gate, where people are primed up and
- 33:23Speaker 2: ready to go, we're gonna hear what you are feeling
- 33:25Speaker 2: and thinking today on our talk back line. You go
- 33:27Speaker 2: to the iHeartRadio app red microphone at ninety three point
- 33:30Speaker 2: three KJR.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Speak into it. We got a bunch already. We'll hear
- 33:33Speaker 4: from you.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Two o'clock. Chuck Pal just walked back in from inside
- 33:36Speaker 2: the ballpark. He's going to join Softy and me. We'll
- 33:39Speaker 2: talk about Randy or Rosmarina get and replaced in the
- 33:41Speaker 2: top of the lineup and prove you tonight's game. All
- 33:43Speaker 2: on ninety three point three Kjrfun.
- 33:49Speaker 1: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now
- 33:53Speaker 1: back to Ian Fernez powered by Seapple, Closest Sports Book,
- 33:57Speaker 1: Snow Caual Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio Nutty three
- 34:01Speaker 1: point three JJRM.
- 34:07Speaker 6: Hey, it's well for Mount Vernon. There's part of me
- 34:09Speaker 6: that wants to scream. There's part of me that wants
- 34:12Speaker 6: to stay calm because it is too too. The part
- 34:14Speaker 6: that's concerning is the pitching changes. Seem like Dan Wilson
- 34:19Speaker 6: is giving up and with the grit that this team has,
- 34:25Speaker 6: I just want to see him be aggressive with the
- 34:28Speaker 6: bullpen today and use our best guys.
- 34:31Speaker 5: In any spot we can.
- 34:32Speaker 6: Thank you, Ian, love your show.
- 34:36Speaker 7: My biggest concern is JP said it when we were
- 34:40Speaker 7: on the downhill slide in August versus September, and he said,
- 34:44Speaker 7: when we get down, we have a hard time getting
- 34:47Speaker 7: out of that slump.
- 34:48Speaker 14: And I can see it in the player's eyes, I
- 34:51Speaker 14: can see it in the vibe at the stadium. So
- 34:57Speaker 14: we've got to believe in ourselves and I on you
- 35:00Speaker 14: and LINK don't know if we.
- 35:02Speaker 11: Have that ability.
- 35:05Speaker 4: All right.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Time to take a deep breath, Good to hear from
- 35:10Speaker 2: you guys. We got a couple more of our talkbacks
- 35:12Speaker 2: where they get to it a second where a Jimmy's
- 35:14Speaker 2: On First. Our coverage is all brought to you by
- 35:16Speaker 2: our friends. Is still call me Hotel and casino. Don't
- 35:18Speaker 2: forget after the game this afternoon starts at three o'clock.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Chuck and Bucky will be here at Jimmy's on First postgame.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I listened last night. There's a hell of a job,
- 35:28Speaker 2: great recap. Loved listening to those guys. This is the
- 35:32Speaker 2: first place for fans to come to. They go commercial
- 35:36Speaker 2: free for a long time. Take your thoughts. It could
- 35:38Speaker 2: be either yes or no. There will be no in
- 35:41Speaker 2: between tonight when they hit the air. When those guys
- 35:44Speaker 2: hit the air after the game, there's no in between.
- 35:46Speaker 2: It's elation or despair, nothing in between. Now, they'll do
- 35:51Speaker 2: a good job, probably of talking you down if it
- 35:53Speaker 2: isn't good. But I know how you guys are feel
- 35:56Speaker 2: Let's get a couple more talkbacks in.
- 35:58Speaker 5: I actually want to speak to some completely different when
- 36:00Speaker 5: it comes to the MS.
- 36:02Speaker 10: I know this is not what everybody wants to talk about,
- 36:04Speaker 10: but just got to say, how much money do you
- 36:06Speaker 10: think the Mariners are making off of ticket sales and
- 36:09Speaker 10: shirt t shirts and jerseys and hats and everything else. Well,
- 36:13Speaker 10: I a ton right, I'm just kind of hoping that
- 36:17Speaker 10: ownership sees that, Hey, winning makes us money.
- 36:23Speaker 4: That's just my only point. I just hope they're seeing this.
- 36:27Speaker 4: I would tak for everybody.
- 36:28Speaker 15: I know it feels.
- 36:30Speaker 2: If we get to last real quick, simply Seattle dot com.
- 36:34Speaker 2: That's sup place to get your gear. Number two, there's
- 36:36Speaker 2: a story came out yesterday. Two hundred and nine million
- 36:38Speaker 2: profit already this year. That's after payroll, right in the
- 36:40Speaker 2: middle of the league or so. And reinvest some of that,
- 36:43Speaker 2: and Josh Naylor would be my thing. I would yeah,
- 36:46Speaker 2: I would just point that out.
- 36:47Speaker 15: Okay, there we go, let's go everybody. I know it
- 36:50Speaker 15: feels frustrating. We're still too all. It's not how we
- 36:53Speaker 15: wanted to get here. But if we all would have
- 36:55Speaker 15: been told in April, hey, you're gonna be in the
- 36:57Speaker 15: ale freaking CS two to two with a home game
- 36:59Speaker 15: to pretend to go up three to two, we all
- 37:01Speaker 15: would sign up.

- 37:03Speaker 15: Everyone on board. My one and a half year old son,
- 37:05Speaker 15: he's all in. Everyone needs to be all in.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Let's go.

- 38:17Speaker 9: Why do you take Austin Matthews and Andrews, that guy
- 38:21Speaker 9: that you met in the stands yesterday? Yeah, why do
- 38:23Speaker 9: you take Austin Matthews and shove it up that guy's ass?
- 38:26Speaker 2: Three three, three thirty pre games, Hayden gets to get
- 38:30Speaker 2: a chance to kill Austin Matthews.
- 38:31Speaker 4: Four o'clock, drop of the pluck. Let's go all right?

- 39:04Speaker 2: going to be here early, reving the crowd up, getting crazy.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Let's see if Chuck will come over.
- 39:08Speaker 2: I didn't want to bother Bucky because you got a
- 39:09Speaker 2: post game show. By the way, in all seriousness, just
- 39:11Speaker 2: in all seriousness, I told check this earlier. I listened
- 39:13Speaker 2: last night driving home. I want I'm doing cracking. I
- 39:16Speaker 2: missed the first five innings. Listen to you guys. Got
- 39:18Speaker 2: a great recap, you guys. You a hell of a
- 39:20Speaker 2: job at the postgame. Okay, in all honesty, hell of
- 39:22Speaker 2: a job with the postgame. I don't know, all right,
- 39:25Speaker 2: I heard it.
- 39:25Speaker 9: I thought it was just okay average, Because let's let's
- 39:29Speaker 9: be honest with you, friend, my enjoyment of your postgame
- 39:34Speaker 9: show has a lot to do with what happens across
- 39:37Speaker 9: the street.
- 39:37Speaker 4: Well, we're going to enjoy a good time. I mean,
- 39:39Speaker 4: he would.
- 39:40Speaker 9: Ian would always tell me when the Huskies would lose
- 39:42Speaker 9: a game, that's when the Cougars want to tune in
- 39:43Speaker 9: to hear the Husky Hank post game show. Makes sense, right,
- 39:46Speaker 9: we we lose a game like that, the last thing
- 39:49Speaker 9: I want to do was talk about it. I want
- 39:51Speaker 9: to just go to my hole in my house wherever
- 39:53Speaker 9: that is, stick my head in it, and stay there
- 39:56Speaker 9: until the next day.
- 39:57Speaker 4: He's alone. There's zero part of me that wanted to
- 39:59Speaker 4: talk about it.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Nobody wanted to talk about you. Guys, did a good job.
- 40:02Speaker 2: You kind of help people calm down. I think a
- 40:04Speaker 2: little bit yesterday. But let's let's go around the horn.
- 40:07Speaker 2: First of all, let's just do that general feeling. We
- 40:10Speaker 2: just heard a bunch of talkbacks from listeners.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see. I want to go from calm to now.
- 40:14Speaker 4: I'll start with you.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Go ahead, Oh yeah, yeah, looking at you. I'll looking
- 40:17Speaker 2: at you. I'll come to chuck in a second fire away.
- 40:21Speaker 9: This is a very odd sensation for me right now.
- 40:25Speaker 9: I don't know what to think, honestly, guys. I mean
- 40:27Speaker 9: because if you would have told me back in March,
- 40:30Speaker 9: for example, that the M's would be tied to two
- 40:33Speaker 9: with the three games left to go for a shot
- 40:35Speaker 9: to go to the World Series, I think you would
- 40:37Speaker 9: have said, sign me up. But I also think, and
- 40:40Speaker 9: I think there's a lot of different things that can
- 40:41Speaker 9: be true at one time, right, Yess that's accurate that
- 40:44Speaker 9: we would have taken that I also think that blowing
- 40:47Speaker 9: a two to nothing lead coming back home with three
- 40:49Speaker 9: games at Tea Mobile Park would be one of the
- 40:52Speaker 9: worst things that I've ever experienced as a Mariner fan
- 40:55Speaker 9: of my life. Ten game lead last year, obviously one
- 40:58Speaker 9: hundred and sixteen wins in two thousand and one. Look,
- 41:00Speaker 9: the favorite, Bucky, as you know and Chuck, in the
- 41:02Speaker 9: major leagues, doesn't always win the World Series, right, I mean,
- 41:06Speaker 9: the favorite in baseball is not like the favorite in
- 41:08Speaker 9: the NBA or the favorite in the NFL, not how
- 41:10Speaker 9: that works. It's much tighter in baseball. So you get
- 41:14Speaker 9: two games away from the World Series, and you've got
- 41:17Speaker 9: five games left, and you can't win two of them,
- 41:19Speaker 9: with three of them in your own park, they would
- 41:22Speaker 9: be I think, I think, and we can debate this
- 41:24Speaker 9: as time goes by, maybe the biggest buzzkill and the
- 41:28Speaker 9: biggest down and the biggest heartbreak of my life as
- 41:31Speaker 9: a Mariner baseball fan. I will say this though, before
- 41:34Speaker 9: these guys jump in and I was telling this to
- 41:36Speaker 9: you and Danny, I don't think there's been one game
- 41:38Speaker 9: in my life as a Mariner baseball fan like today
- 41:41Speaker 9: where the game today could swing our mood from one
- 41:45Speaker 9: extreme to.
- 41:46Speaker 4: The other the way this one can.
- 41:48Speaker 9: At three zero eight today, we win this game, and
- 41:50Speaker 9: we spend the next forty eight hours Bucky until five
- 41:53Speaker 9: o'clock on Sunday night dreaming of being about being nine
- 41:56Speaker 9: innings away from the World Series. We lose it, and
- 41:59Speaker 9: as a totally there's not enough anti diarrhea medication for
- 42:03Speaker 9: me to take between now and Sunday and five o'clock.
- 42:06Speaker 9: I will go into full blown panic mode if the
- 42:09Speaker 9: Mariners lose this game today. So this is this is
- 42:12Speaker 9: the swing, this is the election, this is the entire thing.
- 42:16Speaker 9: This is America versus Canada. It's good versus evil, It's
- 42:20Speaker 9: World Series versus a gigantic collapse today at three o'clock. So,
- 42:25Speaker 9: for the love of Christ or you, please get this
- 42:29Speaker 9: thing done today so we can at least But you
- 42:32Speaker 9: go into Sunday dreaming about making the world seen it
- 42:35Speaker 9: on the table for you.
- 42:37Speaker 4: I hear you. I'll just tell you this. I can
- 42:41Speaker 4: envision a game on Monday that is more emotionally driven.
- 42:45Speaker 9: Yes, than the one you're talking about today. We sign
- 42:48Speaker 9: up for that right now. We just sign up for
- 42:50Speaker 9: game seven right now. Sure, I mean, just split these
- 42:54Speaker 9: next two.
- 42:54Speaker 16: Sure, I mean, what would even be more would be
- 42:58Speaker 16: to lose this one and then go win two in
- 42:59Speaker 16: a row.
- 43:00Speaker 4: Oh why not? I mean do I want it?
- 43:02Speaker 16: No?
- 43:02Speaker 4: No, I want just win two, move on and then
- 43:05Speaker 4: just win four. Maker travel plans, get ready to go
- 43:08Speaker 4: to LA. Yeah I was that. I want it easy.
- 43:10Speaker 4: But is it going to be easy?
- 43:12Speaker 15: No?
- 43:13Speaker 4: It doesn't better. Do you think that the.
- 43:16Speaker 16: Cubs that were still around when they finally broke the
- 43:19Speaker 16: curse did it feel better because of the torture they
- 43:23Speaker 16: went to? Well, we're gonna have that at some point
- 43:25Speaker 16: in time. It does feel like we're as close as
- 43:27Speaker 16: we've ever been right now. Never been this close before. No,
- 43:31Speaker 16: I mean tied, I suppose, but we were never. We
- 43:33Speaker 16: never up to zero in the Emergicantly League Championship series.
- 43:35Speaker 4: So to me, I feel it.
- 43:37Speaker 16: I mean, I've been a Mariner fan more than I've
- 43:39Speaker 16: been a radio talk show host, and most certainly a
- 43:41Speaker 16: lot longer than I was a Mariner.
- 43:43Speaker 4: I feel it.
- 43:44Speaker 16: At the same time, I'm kind of here for the ride.
- 43:46Speaker 16: I enjoy every bit of it, the upstand, the downs.
- 43:48Speaker 17: This team doesn't handle prosperity well at all.
- 43:53Speaker 4: Twenty five minutes, really, the last five years.
- 43:55Speaker 17: The Depoto Mariners, they just don't handle prosperity at all.
- 44:00Speaker 4: And so, I mean, we at one point were.
- 44:03Speaker 17: In Detroit up three to nothing in the fifth inning,
- 44:06Speaker 17: and Tiger fans are leaving.
- 44:08Speaker 4: The stadium being their own team. And yet they're like, Nah,
- 44:12Speaker 4: it's too easy. Now, let's beat schoobl in game five
- 44:15Speaker 4: and take fifteen innings in order to do it.
- 44:19Speaker 17: We were ten and one after the Josh Naylor Gino
- 44:22Speaker 17: Suarez trades. We look like the best team on planet Earth. Nah,
- 44:27Speaker 17: let's go six and twenty one for the six and
- 44:30Speaker 17: fifteen for the next twenty one games and then really
- 44:34Speaker 17: put ourselves in the corner and then we'll win the division,
- 44:38Speaker 17: make the playoffs, get a bye, and get into the
- 44:42Speaker 17: and get into the postseason that way. I mean, maybe
- 44:46Speaker 17: we lose this game tonight, Maybe we do, but I'm
- 44:49Speaker 17: kind of with Bucky, it wouldn't surprise me if that's
- 44:52Speaker 17: right up their ally.
- 44:53Speaker 4: Yeah, we went and then win two.
- 44:55Speaker 17: We lose one hundred and five, one hundred to five tonight,
- 44:58Speaker 17: and then we went in forty four innings.
- 45:01Speaker 9: At game number seven. Yeah, your ticket to the world.
- 45:04Speaker 9: But your point, and Bucky, you're exactly right. I think
- 45:07Speaker 9: the longer you wait, the more special something becomes. Right, Like,
- 45:10Speaker 9: we waited a long time for that two thousand and
- 45:12Speaker 9: five Seahawks season yep, and the super Bowl had to
- 45:15Speaker 9: wait another eight years, nineteen long years of frustration in
- 45:18Speaker 9: ninety five with the Maritors and the Yankees and that
- 45:21Speaker 9: win against the California Angels, all that stuff. Your point
- 45:24Speaker 9: is well taken that if they get this done, what
- 45:27Speaker 9: we're going through right now, by Sunday night or Monday night,
- 45:30Speaker 9: if it does happen, we'll make it.
- 45:32Speaker 4: A little more special.
- 45:33Speaker 9: But you know what makes it a little more special
- 45:36Speaker 9: already is the previous forty eight damn years.
- 45:39Speaker 4: I don't need this anymore. I don't need anymore you've
- 45:42Speaker 4: been testing. I've got enough.
- 45:44Speaker 9: I have enough to make this meaningful because of the
- 45:49Speaker 9: last forty eight years. And I heard your show last night.
- 45:51Speaker 9: I agree with you, and you guys are freaking phenomenal. Okay,
- 45:53Speaker 9: but here's the thing that pisses me off with the
- 45:55Speaker 9: last two days. I can handle losses. You lose the game,
- 45:57Speaker 9: you play your ass off, you play hard, you lose,
- 45:59Speaker 9: four three, five, four, six, five, whatever. But what pisses
- 46:02Speaker 9: me off is Josh Nayler getting thrown at third base
- 46:05Speaker 9: with two outs, Luis Rievoss getting picked off at first,
- 46:10Speaker 9: Victor rope lest the other day with his play card
- 46:12Speaker 9: stuffed in his mouth, not even paying attention to what
- 46:15Speaker 9: the hell's going out there on right field, and then yesterday.
- 46:18Speaker 4: With Brian Wu.
- 46:18Speaker 9: Look, obviously something's going on with Brian Wu. He's probably
- 46:22Speaker 9: gotta be hurt, he's gotta be not ready yet to pitch.
- 46:25Speaker 9: People talked about this on your show yesterday. If Luis
- 46:28Speaker 9: Castino gets run, it was set up perfectly for Brian
- 46:31Speaker 9: Wu to enter the game and take over. What better
- 46:34Speaker 9: situation to go from an All Star caliber pitcher to
- 46:37Speaker 9: an all star pitcher in the biggest game of the
- 46:39Speaker 9: year and the Mariners ignored it. There's only there's two possibilities.
- 46:43Speaker 4: Either A.
- 46:44Speaker 9: Dan's an idiot, which I don't think he is, or
- 46:46Speaker 9: b Brian Wu is simply not healthy period.
- 46:49Speaker 2: By the way, what what's a brighter red his face
- 46:52Speaker 2: with that maple leaf on that guy's jersey? Right now,
- 46:54Speaker 2: you gotta face deep, deep breath. Let get back to
- 46:57Speaker 2: pitching in a second. Let's start with order today because
- 47:00Speaker 2: we talked about this off year. Uh the guy leading
- 47:02Speaker 2: off for Seattle all time is the first batter in
- 47:04Speaker 2: a game. His splits are three eighty seven, four, twenty five, seven, fourteen,
- 47:09Speaker 2: one point one three nine. Ohps, you probably did that
- 47:12Speaker 2: in the minors. But still pretty good, right, Not bad?
- 47:14Speaker 4: Yeah, not bad.
- 47:15Speaker 2: His name's Juil all time leading often in baseball. His
- 47:18Speaker 2: splits twenty three, three thirty six, five, thirteen, eight forty nine.
- 47:22Speaker 4: Julio top of the order.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Dan Wilson under a lot of criticism and people kind
- 47:26Speaker 2: of going, what's going on? He managed today or they
- 47:29Speaker 2: all manage? I'm sure it's a group effort. What do
- 47:31Speaker 2: you think about Julio leading off as a post Randy?
- 47:34Speaker 6: I like it.
- 47:34Speaker 17: I mean, I think I'd rather have Polanco there, frankly
- 47:37Speaker 17: leading off right now, and then Raleg's second and then
- 47:40Speaker 17: Julio third.
- 47:41Speaker 4: But I like it over a rose arena.
- 47:43Speaker 17: I think a rose arena should have been removed from
- 47:45Speaker 17: that spot about three four weeks ago.
- 47:48Speaker 4: He just wasn't creating the spark that.
- 47:50Speaker 17: You need at the top of the order, and so
- 47:53Speaker 17: what you want more than anything, I need a guy
- 47:55Speaker 17: that can get the second.
- 47:56Speaker 4: Mase without any help.
- 47:58Speaker 17: And that's when I went out of my leader hitter
- 48:00Speaker 17: Rose Arena has bat at bats right now. I thought
- 48:03Speaker 17: maybe he's gonna come out of his slump with a
- 48:05Speaker 17: home run that he hit meaninglessly at the end of
- 48:07Speaker 17: Game three, and then yesterday might have been the worst
- 48:11Speaker 17: he looked at the plate all year long.
- 48:12Speaker 4: So I like the shake up, and I'm perfectly happy
- 48:15Speaker 4: with Julio.
- 48:16Speaker 16: One hundred percent. I mean, it's not based on outcomes.
- 48:20Speaker 16: That's where you can't go as a manager. You can't say, well,
- 48:22Speaker 16: you're over for your last state or ten or twelve.
- 48:25Speaker 16: You can't go based on outcome. It's based on how
- 48:28Speaker 16: competitive are you that leads to the outcomes. If you're
- 48:31Speaker 16: scorching balls, you're making good swing decisions, you're hitting balls
- 48:34Speaker 16: on barrels, and you're getting out, you don't tell somebody, well,
- 48:38Speaker 16: that's just not good enough, because somebody else might get
- 48:40Speaker 16: two knocks and they didn't. They got jammed a couple
- 48:42Speaker 16: of times. So to me, it was based on the
- 48:45Speaker 16: swing decisions. Yesterday, there was one ab where he took
- 48:48Speaker 16: two fast balls that were strikes and then swung in
- 48:50Speaker 16: a pitch that was in the middle of the left
- 48:51Speaker 16: handed batter's box, and then it bounces off the catcher
- 48:55Speaker 16: and he doesn't even want to jog down to first
- 48:57Speaker 16: It's one in a million that they overthrow the ball,
- 48:59Speaker 16: but it's it's kind of important. Just jog your ass
- 49:02Speaker 16: down to first base and.
- 49:03Speaker 4: Make them earn it. Make them throw it. You didn't
- 49:05Speaker 4: make the murn it at the dish, make him urn
- 49:06Speaker 4: it at least thrown down the first base. Yeah, I
- 49:08Speaker 4: may okay with it.
- 49:09Speaker 16: I'm not one that's gonna be quick to start shaking
- 49:11Speaker 16: things up because that looks like a panic. And if you,
- 49:13Speaker 16: as a manager of panicking, then the team's like, oh man,
- 49:17Speaker 16: oh wow, we really you're you're putting undue pressure. This
- 49:20Speaker 16: isn't one of those This is simply yeah. Everybody except
- 49:23Speaker 16: for Randy A. Rose Arena is getting a promotion to
- 49:26Speaker 16: some degree. Right, they're just all saying, I think this
- 49:28Speaker 16: is better for us, and Randy a Rosna hopefully it
- 49:31Speaker 16: lights a fire under his ass and he's like, all right,
- 49:34Speaker 16: all right, I'm gonna show you what I'm all about
- 49:35Speaker 16: and maybe dials it in a little bit more.
- 49:37Speaker 9: First of all, it's not unheard of for a manager
- 49:39Speaker 9: to juggle.
- 49:39Speaker 4: His lineup a lot. I mean, the Mariners used to
- 49:42Speaker 4: do that up until like three months ago.
- 49:44Speaker 17: We haven't taken him out of that leader spot since
- 49:46Speaker 17: we put him in, and even then I thought it
- 49:48Speaker 17: was experimental.
- 49:49Speaker 4: And then whatever the reason, he's just gotten locked. Correct.
- 49:51Speaker 9: They went with this consistent lineup, like we didn't even
- 49:54Speaker 9: bother look at the lineups because we knew what they
- 49:56Speaker 9: were gonna look like every single day for the last
- 49:59Speaker 9: couple of months. So it's not unheard of, obviously for
- 50:01Speaker 9: a manager to.
- 50:02Speaker 4: Do something like this.
- 50:03Speaker 9: It does wreak a little bit of desperation, but I
- 50:06Speaker 9: think you are desperate. You're in Game five of the ALCS.
- 50:10Speaker 9: You're pulling starting pitchers after two winnings, which you would
- 50:13Speaker 9: never do in the regular season. You're putting starters in
- 50:16Speaker 9: the bullpen, which you would never do in the regular season.
- 50:18Speaker 4: So obviously there is some desperation on both sides, and.
- 50:22Speaker 9: Obviously in Milwaukee and in LA as well with the
- 50:24Speaker 9: Dodgers because they're doing things differently.
- 50:26Speaker 4: So I don't got a big problem with it.
- 50:28Speaker 9: I guess my whole perspective is it can't be any
- 50:30Speaker 9: worse than what you see in the last two nights
- 50:32Speaker 9: against Toronto. If they come out there today, and they
- 50:34Speaker 9: struggle Bucky to get on base, and they struggle to
- 50:36Speaker 9: move guys over. It's not gonna matter because they'll do
- 50:39Speaker 9: exactly what they've done the last two days. But I
- 50:42Speaker 9: just think, for me, the key for a game like this,
- 50:44Speaker 9: and I hate to put it on the guy because
- 50:46Speaker 9: he was so great in game one.
- 50:47Speaker 4: Logan, Gilbert, George Kirby, luiskis Steel.
- 50:49Speaker 9: That's three starts in a row, three starts in a
- 50:52Speaker 9: row where our guys have not been good enough from
- 50:55Speaker 9: a starting rotation. That's got to stop tonight because I'm
- 50:59Speaker 9: concerned eyes that Brian Wu is just simply put not
- 51:02Speaker 9: available now. I actually wonder is luiska Steel available tonight
- 51:07Speaker 9: after what he did yesterday? Would they put him back
- 51:09Speaker 9: out there the next day? Does he if he can
- 51:11Speaker 9: offer somethingle And they say that, how with whatever we
- 51:13Speaker 9: had planned for game six and seven, let's go with Logan,
- 51:16Speaker 9: Let's go with Kirby and win this thing, because I'm
- 51:18Speaker 9: not convinced playing Wu can even play well.
- 51:20Speaker 2: Let's let's let's go to the thing for a second.
- 51:22Speaker 2: Soft He brought it up a couple times now because
- 51:24Speaker 2: that I'm look at the text line, everyone's asking the
- 51:25Speaker 2: same question, here's your all star pitcher. Obviously it's been
- 51:28Speaker 2: out for a while. They put them on the active
- 51:30Speaker 2: roster for the ALCS. Buckey, what read between the lines?
- 51:34Speaker 2: What's going on there? What do you think the plan is?
- 51:36Speaker 2: Because it feels like there's two games in a row
- 51:38Speaker 2: that if nothing else, you could run him out there
- 51:40Speaker 2: and see what he's got.
- 51:41Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it's entirely speculation.
- 51:43Speaker 16: We don't know, and obviously they're not gonna tell us
- 51:45Speaker 16: because why would you show your hand to your opponents. Right,
- 51:48Speaker 16: It's nice to have them wondering what the heck's going on,
- 51:50Speaker 16: but it also makes us as fans sit here and wonder.
- 51:53Speaker 16: I think based on his working up his workload before
- 51:57Speaker 16: this series, during the Division series, I think that they
- 51:59Speaker 16: were working them up and he was feeling good. The
- 52:01Speaker 16: last day in Toronto, he throws kind of a SIM
- 52:03Speaker 16: game to Revos and some other guys, throw some to
- 52:06Speaker 16: some live hitters. I would almost guarantee that the next
- 52:10Speaker 16: day there was discomfort. Yeah, discomfort to where because if
- 52:14Speaker 16: there's no discomfort, if he shows up the next day
- 52:16Speaker 16: he's like, I'm ready to rock and roll. He's starting today,
- 52:19Speaker 16: or he would have started yesterday. The fact that he
- 52:22Speaker 16: isn't and they keep running him out to the bullpen.
- 52:24Speaker 16: So we knew when he sent him out to the bullpen,
- 52:27Speaker 16: and Dan goes, well, I just thought it'd be good
- 52:29Speaker 16: for him to get acclimated in a situation which we
- 52:32Speaker 16: might use him. That to me is it's almost a
- 52:35Speaker 16: in case of emergency break glass. It still is an
- 52:37Speaker 16: ace up your sleeve. And I have a feeling he's active.
- 52:41Speaker 16: He's not on the shelf, but I don't think that
- 52:43Speaker 16: he is. He rebounded from the live game well enough
- 52:46Speaker 16: that they feel like we can start him in a game.
- 52:48Speaker 16: Otherwise we're gonna put ourselves at behind the eight ball,
- 52:51Speaker 16: which Chuck's been worried about. Maybe goes out there and
- 52:53Speaker 16: forty pitches in halfway through the second inning, my pecks
- 52:57Speaker 16: acting up.
- 52:57Speaker 4: I don't feel right, and now all of a sudden,
- 52:59Speaker 4: you have to summ.
- 53:00Speaker 16: Figure out a way to cover eight innings through your bullpen.
- 53:02Speaker 16: So I don't think they want to do that. I
- 53:04Speaker 16: think instead it's like, Okay, you're good enough to go
- 53:07Speaker 16: bullpen session. No, you're good enough for twenty twenty five
- 53:09Speaker 16: thirty pitches, all right, then maybe we're gonna use that
- 53:11Speaker 16: for two innings.
- 53:13Speaker 9: Let me ask you, do you see Chuck any scenario
- 53:16Speaker 9: where he was not available last night, but bang, twenty
- 53:19Speaker 9: four hours later, he's available today.
- 53:21Speaker 17: The only thing that I can try to read from
- 53:24Speaker 17: it is because Dan keeps saying we're looking for the
- 53:27Speaker 17: right situation.
- 53:29Speaker 4: If that's the case, then they feel really good about
- 53:31Speaker 4: how he is.
- 53:32Speaker 17: That means they're putting him in in a games on
- 53:34Speaker 17: the line, a's up the sleeve.
- 53:37Speaker 4: Let's put Brian Wu in the game.
- 53:39Speaker 9: Was that not last night in the third inning when
- 53:41Speaker 9: they desperately needed something out to stop the bleeding.
- 53:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have thought that would have been a
- 53:46Speaker 4: good time. I thought it would have been.
- 53:47Speaker 17: But the other possibility is they're scared of what they're
- 53:50Speaker 17: going to see, and so they really don't want to
- 53:55Speaker 17: put him in unless it's just ideal.
- 53:58Speaker 4: First, is he game seven?
- 54:00Speaker 9: Well?
- 54:00Speaker 17: See to me, it was game three that you put
- 54:02Speaker 17: him in when you're already down six to two, seven
- 54:05Speaker 17: to two.
- 54:06Speaker 4: Now, let's le average.
- 54:08Speaker 17: See what he's got, George, Kurt, excuse me, Brian Wu
- 54:10Speaker 17: for three innings at the end of that game, and
- 54:13Speaker 17: if he's fantastic, start him in game seven.
- 54:16Speaker 4: And if he's not there, then.
- 54:18Speaker 17: We don't have to think about this anymore, and we
- 54:20Speaker 17: don't have to worry about how we use it.
- 54:22Speaker 4: Bucky, you said something there that just jumped out of me.
- 54:24Speaker 2: Because regular season, if that happens, where a guy throws
- 54:28Speaker 2: a sim game and he has discomfort, they say the
- 54:31Speaker 2: next day he's got just some discomfort.
- 54:32Speaker 4: We're gonna shut him down for a couple of weeks.
- 54:34Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not gonna do that in the playoffs, because
- 54:36Speaker 2: what you guys say, you don't want to tip your hand.
- 54:37Speaker 2: All right, let's we'll put a rap on it with this.
- 54:42Speaker 2: This baseball's crazy, Bucky. I want to start with you, like,
- 54:45Speaker 2: I don't know if there's momentum or not, but it
- 54:47Speaker 2: just feels like one inning can change everything. And as
- 54:50Speaker 2: down as people are feeling right now, they come out
- 54:53Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, Bryce Miller looks like he
- 54:55Speaker 2: has in his first couple starts in the postseason. Maybe
- 54:57Speaker 2: Gospan doesn't have it for them. That'd be kind of weird, right,
- 55:00Speaker 2: Like you've you've somehow had your three aces of softy
- 55:03Speaker 2: talks about come out and get lit up, and instead
- 55:06Speaker 2: now you go a young Bryce Miller who for all
- 55:08Speaker 2: intents and purposes, everyone's healthy. He's five, right, he's number five. Yeah,
- 55:11Speaker 2: he comes out, he's good, and all of a sudden
- 55:13Speaker 2: it all flips. And now that's that to me is
- 55:16Speaker 2: how base that's looking cool. Things about baseball is like
- 55:18Speaker 2: it can switch just like that. So crystal ball what
- 55:21Speaker 2: happens today?
- 55:23Speaker 16: So first of all, the beauty of baseball is that
- 55:25Speaker 16: the the ebbs and flows they hang in every single pitch.
- 55:29Speaker 4: We just don't think of them as every single pitch.
- 55:31Speaker 16: It's not like it's not like a name four or
- 55:34Speaker 16: Game one twenty, right, we don't think of him as
- 55:36Speaker 16: And that's what it is. You change how a pitcher's
- 55:39Speaker 16: feeling by capitalizing one mistake. A pitcher changes how you
- 55:43Speaker 16: feel as a hitter by shoving it where the sun
- 55:45Speaker 16: don't shine in one at bat.
- 55:47Speaker 4: All of that is what happens.
- 55:48Speaker 16: This boils down to you better have a gut check
- 55:51Speaker 16: moment after the last two nights. They better have looked
- 55:53Speaker 16: in the mirror when they were getting done taking a
- 55:55Speaker 16: shower or brushing their teeth before they laid their head
- 55:57Speaker 16: on their pushy pillow and said, we tomorrow get to
- 56:00Speaker 16: show up and prove that we're better than these guys
- 56:03Speaker 16: are not. And it starts with Bryce Miller. I think
- 56:06Speaker 16: Bryce Miller goes out there and absolutely shoves. He has
- 56:09Speaker 16: to be not perfect, but he can't miss to the
- 56:13Speaker 16: bad zones. Two guys in a row missed to Jimenez
- 56:17Speaker 16: when he's trying to just roll over a ball to
- 56:19Speaker 16: move a runner from second base, and they throw it
- 56:21Speaker 16: down and in and he goes yard both times. Those
- 56:24Speaker 16: are horrible misses. A miss where you catch two inches
- 56:26Speaker 16: of the plate versus missing an inch off the plate
- 56:29Speaker 16: if it's on the right side of the plate and
- 56:31Speaker 16: it's the correct pitch choice. Those don't kill you. Those
- 56:34Speaker 16: you can overcome. I think he has to go out there.
- 56:36Speaker 16: Him and Cal have to be on the same page.
- 56:38Speaker 16: He has to understand here's where I miss. I miss
- 56:40Speaker 16: out of the zone. I don't miss over the heart
- 56:42Speaker 16: of the zone. If he does that, he's gonna go
- 56:44Speaker 16: through three four innings, maybe more, and then I wouldn't
- 56:48Speaker 16: be surprised if Brian wu is brought in tonight. But
- 56:50Speaker 16: they're not going to bring him in if they're down
- 56:52Speaker 16: three or four runs. They're not gonna risk his long
- 56:54Speaker 16: term health in a game where you're just trying to
- 56:57Speaker 16: keep it close because they still trust it, Gabe, Spire,
- 57:00Speaker 16: they still trust in Bizarre, they still trust it.
- 57:02Speaker 9: They still Trustspire. Anythink they still trust inspired? You have
- 57:05Speaker 9: to You got no choice, Yeah, you have to.
- 57:07Speaker 4: Well you have to run them out maybe, but do
- 57:09Speaker 4: you trust them deep down? This doesn't matter. Are you
- 57:11Speaker 4: still fifty to fifty? Yeah?
- 57:13Speaker 9: Because guys, I mean, look, the law of averages.
- 57:15Speaker 4: What you guys just said.
- 57:17Speaker 9: If you're asking me to bet on a Mariner starting
- 57:20Speaker 9: pitcher shoving it as you said, and I'm not having
- 57:24Speaker 9: four guys in a row, go yets up, I'll say
- 57:27Speaker 9: I take I like those odds. Eventually my rotation is
- 57:30Speaker 9: gonna deliver. I also think eventually you're gonna play three
- 57:33Speaker 9: games at home, and you're gonna show up for one
- 57:34Speaker 9: of them. For God's sakes, right, you tell me they
- 57:36Speaker 9: sweep and and they go six and zero in Seattle
- 57:39Speaker 9: this year the Blue Jays do lave Averages says, eventually
- 57:42Speaker 9: the Mariners would step up and get a victory. So
- 57:45Speaker 9: you know, I would take the Mariners. But I don't
- 57:47Speaker 9: think at this point anything can shock anybody. Look, guys,
- 57:50Speaker 9: I mean I'm a Mariner fan for forty eight years.
- 57:53Speaker 9: Where there's blood, there's dread, all right. I wake up
- 57:56Speaker 9: with dread in my system. I'm programmed to expect the
- 58:00Speaker 9: worst as a Mariner fan, and this would be a
- 58:03Speaker 9: crushing blow for me.
- 58:04Speaker 4: As a baseball fan to not have this happen.
- 58:07Speaker 9: You think about the elation of Monday nights and how
- 58:09Speaker 9: fired up we were and where we are now and
- 58:11Speaker 9: where we could be tonight if they lose this game.
- 58:14Speaker 4: So I'm begging these guys, man, don't do this to us.
- 58:17Speaker 9: Get this win and let us dream for forty eight
- 58:19Speaker 9: more hours about making the World Series and then maybe
- 58:22Speaker 9: go do it.
- 58:22Speaker 4: Do you get the last word before the postgame tonight?
- 58:24Speaker 4: Go ahead? Well, I mean the prediction game. What do
- 58:28Speaker 4: you want to say? They're crazy baseball. I thought George
- 58:31Speaker 4: was gonna be good. He wasn't. I thought Luis was
- 58:33Speaker 4: gonna be good. That's why it's gonna be good today.
- 58:34Speaker 4: He wasn't.
- 58:34Speaker 17: So I'm gonna just keep doubling down. I think Bryce
- 58:38Speaker 17: is gonna be good, and maybe he won't be, but
- 58:39Speaker 17: I guarantee you know. Toronto Blue Jay fan was sitting
- 58:42Speaker 17: at home saying Andre Semenez is gonna wake up this series.
- 58:45Speaker 17: He's gonna be the victory they wanted the guy benched. Yeah,
- 58:48Speaker 17: how do you figure it out? So I'm just gonna
- 58:51Speaker 17: stick with what I've said all along. We're a better
- 58:53Speaker 17: team and we should win this series. And you can
- 58:56Speaker 17: pull out all your statistics about out. No, Toronto was
- 58:59Speaker 17: a better hitting during the regular season. Yeah, but we
- 59:02Speaker 17: spent three quarters of our year with.
- 59:03Speaker 4: Dylan Moore in the starting line. Right. Well, you know what, Luke.
- 59:06Speaker 17: Rayley, and we have Josh Naylor, Gino Suarez, Victor Roblaze
- 59:10Speaker 17: back and they don't have Bobashett. We're a better offense.
- 59:14Speaker 17: We have better starters and we have better relievers. We
- 59:16Speaker 17: should win this series. Whether we do or not, that's
- 59:19Speaker 17: up to how.
- 59:19Speaker 2: They execute postgame show tonight right after here at Jimmy's
- 59:22Speaker 2: on First with Chuck and Bucky. Sam By will come back,
- 59:25Speaker 2: Dootle Factor Fiction Softie comes up at three o'clock.
- 59:27Speaker 4: Thanks fellas, are you all right? Take a break? Come back.
- 59:36Speaker 1: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now
- 59:41Speaker 1: back to Ian Fernez, powered by Seattle's Closest sports book
- 59:45Speaker 1: Snow Call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
- 59:48Speaker 1: three point three kJ R FM. I saw Diego Sages
- 59:56Speaker 1: first pitch, and I've lived through every subsequent heartache since.
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: For the first two games, they actually had me believing
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: let's go.
- 1:00:06Speaker 15: I'm so fired up from this game.
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: I want it so bad.
- 1:00:08Speaker 15: I got to remind myself, you know, thirty two, I
- 1:00:11Speaker 15: don't remember what it's like to win. Really, we're just
- 1:00:13Speaker 15: a bunch of losers. But let's change that. It's been
- 1:00:15Speaker 15: so much fun. I have a one and a half
- 1:00:17Speaker 15: year old son. I've been watching the game with my
- 1:00:19Speaker 15: in laws, my wife him. He goes crazy every time
- 1:00:22Speaker 15: Big Dumper comes up. That's what it's all about.
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: So win or lose.
- 1:00:25Speaker 15: I'm really proud of this team, but I want to
- 1:00:27Speaker 15: go to the World serious. So let's a buckle up.
- 1:00:29Speaker 15: Let's win Game three. Let's take that control. Do it
- 1:00:32Speaker 15: for the USA, baby, Let's.
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: Go Perkat Game five?
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: All right, appreciate everydy texting or a calling in today
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: on the talk back line. It's Andrew's quick self final
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: thought from you before we get the factor fiction.
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I just.
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: I couldn't have said it any better than what you
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: guys did last segment. That was awesome. By the way,
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: I love kind of hearing all the hosts. Almost all
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: the hosts on KJR get to share their opinions. But
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: I just really, really they really want this. Uh And
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: I don't really have anything else to say. I just
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: I think Bryce Miller shoves tonight. I agree with Chuck
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: and uh, it's it's it's gonna be fun to watch.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: I am trying as hard as I can to just
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: enjoy the ride at this point, but it's been it's
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: been hard not to kind of look a ton passed
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: and like what this means and everything, if that makes sense.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: I just I have this weird ever since Monday, and
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: even after the loss on Wednesday, and even last night.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: It's a weird sense of calm and this team seems
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: to be its best when there's adversity. I agree, they
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: seem to be at his best when their backs are
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: against the wall and there's a there's a feel. He
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: talked about it. I think with EEno Saris yesterday we
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: talked about it was she the other day. I'm Molly
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: WAPs as well. Resiliency's kind of a key word with
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: these guys.
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: Yep, I.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: We'll we'll talking about Softie when Softie rejoins us for Crosstock.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring this up with him. We were just
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: talking about this off the air. There is one thing
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: that's just even if they win the series, it's kind
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: of a bummer. And that's the fact that yesterday or
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: today we're two potential clinching games at home in front
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: of our fans in Seattle that deserve it so much.
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: Yes, and they weren't able to do that at home. Now,
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: just go win in Toronto.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: Maybe there's part of us that thinks that's even sweeter
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: to shove it down there and whatever we call that
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: place now, Rogers, the skuydom Er, whatever the hell it.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: Is, center spelled with an E at the enter center Center.
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: All right, let's get to a factor fiction.
- 1:02:21Speaker 9: Where's that to go?
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's

- 1:02:50Speaker 2: lucky tonight. Here across the streets t Mobile Park, left
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Field Gate, fans streaming in right now as we speak.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: They were lined up here by the way at ten
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: o'clock this morning. Well got here at ten to fifteen,
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: and there was already a line down the street towards Luminfield,
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: towards the player's entrance, down to the east of us here.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: So people are ready to go, They ready to rock
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: and roll. Factor fiction is very simple. Andrews is gonna
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: give you a pick. If you agree, you'll text fact
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: to four nine, four to five to one. If you disagree,
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: you text fiction to four nine, four to five to one.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: Why well, we're trying to give away one thousand dollars
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: every week. There's also a ten thousand dollars grand prize
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: on the line for people for someone who has the
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: most correct picks during our fourteen week contest. We're about
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: what halfway through right now, right, Andrews about halfway through yep,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: So final pick of the week we'll come up at
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: three thirty five with Dick and Dave coming up just
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: in a few minutes. The more often you pick, and
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: the more often you're correct, the better chance you have
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: to win one thousand dollars weekly prize, ten thousand dollars
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: grand prize. Anderson Hurst has his one pick of the week,
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: and we lean on him because our show has not
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: been doing well.
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: But he's gonna do it. Okay, So what do you got?
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: All Right, I'm gonna go with a game where I'm
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: betting a little bit with my heart and I'm gonna actually,
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: oh sorry, I'm betting a little bit with my heart.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: I just refreshed to make sure that this line is
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: still active, and it is because I hate the San
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine Ers. This is Sunday Night football. I'm
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: going the Atlanta Falcons plus one on the road against
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: the San Francisco forty nine ers. Give me Michael Pennix
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: going in and beating up a beat up forty nine
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: Ers team. No, Fred Warner, they're starting Mac Jones. They
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: just confirmed that. So Atlanta goes in and either wins
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: the game or they I guess they would have to
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: win the game for me to.
- 1:04:30Speaker 4: Get this one. Well, here's the thing. San Francisco has
- 1:04:33Speaker 4: been just for whatever reason.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: I'll use luck in a sense like there's at some
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: point you can't have that many those many guys out
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: and keep winning. They've got the best running back argument
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: in the league as Atlanta and no Fred Worker. Yep,
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Michael Pennix decided he wanted to
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: find Drake London last week.
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: Hey, that's probably a good idea.
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: Probably a really good idea. And he was accurate as hell,
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: and he lit him up.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm with you sometimes just you know what,
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: maybe today is the best day to do factor fiction,
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: betting with your heart absolutely like this might be, this
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: might be the best possible time to do that. So
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: again the line is.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: What it's Atlanta plus one on the road against the
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: San Francisco forty.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: Nine ers, So basically, pick him, go get him for Atlanta.
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: Hey, if they tie, it still counts for me too.
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: That's right call. And we've already had a tie this
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: year we have all right, So four nine four or
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: five to one.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Fact, if for some reason you disagree and you're gonna
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: want to spend your Sunday when the Seahawks are off
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: rooting for the forty nine ers in your text fiction,
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: but I say, just text fact. It starts the great
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: weekend win tonight.
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: By the Marators. Niners lose clinch on Sunday.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: And you know what, you know what makes me feel
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: this pick even better because I got a couple of
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: texts on the text line saying, didn't Christopher kid pick this?
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: He actually picks the other side. He picked San Francisco.
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: So that tells me that this is a great pick
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: because if you look at kids record that's.
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: Also one or something like that.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: Yeah, he's worse. He's like worse than me, and that's
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: really bad because I'm not having a good year. All
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: right again, Atlanta win the game fact four nine four
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: or five to one. If you disagree Fiction four nine
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: four five one. Text in right now your chance on
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. We could prize ten thousand dollars grand prize,
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: all courtesy of our good friends at the Lucky Eagle
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: Casino and Hotel Factor Fiction. Let's win one thousand dollars,
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: fire away, Let's go Factor Fiction brought to buy the
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: Lucky Eagle Casino will come back. We'll put a rap
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: on things with this show. Dick Faine is here, Dave
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: Softy Maler is here. He's taking deep breaths.
- 1:06:26Speaker 4: Rock Faine.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: The next few hours, Mariners and Blue Jay's top of
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: the hour right here, nine three point.
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: Three k draft all right back at Jimmy's.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: Dick Faine is here, Dave Softy Maler is here. Fans
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: still making their way into the But now I know
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: why people got here early. Although you told me, I
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: saw you tweat today, they do pretty good job getting
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: people in.
- 1:06:54Speaker 9: So the gates open two and a half hours before
- 1:06:56Speaker 9: the game, so three oho eight would have been one
- 1:06:58Speaker 9: at twelve thirty eight whatever or something like that. Is
- 1:07:00Speaker 9: that correct using the junior college math.
- 1:07:02Speaker 4: There there's there. There seems to be like an initial surge.
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: Well you look down to the left and right all
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: the way back down.
- 1:07:08Speaker 9: Right right as the as the gates open, there's always
- 1:07:11Speaker 9: a big line to get in. Then there's like an
- 1:07:13Speaker 9: hour or so where there's no lines, and then as
- 1:07:16Speaker 9: you get closer to the game, about twenty five thirty
- 1:07:18Speaker 9: minutes away from first pitch, there's a huge line. But like,
- 1:07:21Speaker 9: for example, the line for left field by the mit
- 1:07:23Speaker 9: here goes all the way down first Afternue when Snake's
- 1:07:27Speaker 9: back around, but it moves very fast. I saw that
- 1:07:30Speaker 9: line yesterday and I was petrified, like I'm not going
- 1:07:32Speaker 9: to get in there till the fifth inning, for God's sakes, right,
- 1:07:35Speaker 9: So I was actually very pleasantly surprised at how fast
- 1:07:38Speaker 9: that line did move.
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: You're yelling at people to get inside. What are we
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: waiting for? People, guys?
- 1:07:42Speaker 9: Let's go Well wait, here's the thing though, ticket prices
- 1:07:45Speaker 9: if tanked dramatically, what were they Wednesday? I think they
- 1:07:47Speaker 9: were over three hundred bucks for this game on Wednesday
- 1:07:50Speaker 9: when people thought there was a chance this would be
- 1:07:51Speaker 9: the clinching game, right. I mean, you're sitting there, if
- 1:07:53Speaker 9: you're a Marita fan after the first two games, you're
- 1:07:56Speaker 9: asking yourself, Okay, if I'm gonna buy tickets for one
- 1:07:59Speaker 9: game Friday, which one am I gonna buy tickets for me?
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: Probably Friday?
- 1:08:03Speaker 9: Okay, maybe Thursday, but probably Friday, because you're thinking I
- 1:08:06Speaker 9: got a one to two chance of that game being
- 1:08:08Speaker 9: a clinching opportunity for this baseball team, and that's the
- 1:08:11Speaker 9: one you want to see. You want to see these
- 1:08:12Speaker 9: guys clinch this at home and go to the World Series,
- 1:08:15Speaker 9: And like you talked about in crosstalk, he it would
- 1:08:16Speaker 9: have been nice. You know, Frankly, I don't give a
- 1:08:18Speaker 9: damn where they clinch it. They could clinch this thing
- 1:08:20Speaker 9: in North Korea for all I care as long as
- 1:08:22Speaker 9: they clinch it, right, But it would have been cool
- 1:08:24Speaker 9: to see these guys do something like that at home.
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: And that's gonna have to.
- 1:08:27Speaker 9: Wait, obviously, because that will not be possible this season,
- 1:08:31Speaker 9: at least for the American League Championship.
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: But tickets are going back up a little bit.
- 1:08:34Speaker 9: They were down to about one hundred and twenty bucks
- 1:08:36Speaker 9: to get in the door about four or five hours ago.
- 1:08:37Speaker 9: Now they're about one hundred and seventy, which makes me
- 1:08:40Speaker 9: a little bit nervous that our French from the North
- 1:08:42Speaker 9: are buying them up. Yeah, you know what happened to
- 1:08:44Speaker 9: be honest, there wasn't a line in Blaine at the
- 1:08:46Speaker 9: border their way down.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: Oh oh, I.
- 1:08:49Speaker 9: Think I think of all three games that we've seen
- 1:08:51Speaker 9: so far in this series, this will be the largest
- 1:08:54Speaker 9: contingent of Blue Jay fans that we've seen so far
- 1:08:57Speaker 9: in this little three game set at home here at
- 1:09:00Speaker 9: T Mobile. And you know what, Look, I've said my
- 1:09:03Speaker 9: piece on it. It makes me absolutely bat you know what,
- 1:09:07Speaker 9: angry that this many Blue Jay fans are in the building.
- 1:09:10Speaker 9: I hope it pisses off John Stanton and Chris Larson,
- 1:09:13Speaker 9: and this ownership group is as much as it bothers me.
- 1:09:17Speaker 9: It absolutely infuriates me, boils my blood that this many
- 1:09:22Speaker 9: Blue Jay fans are in the stadium. I find it humiliating.
- 1:09:25Speaker 9: I think it's embarrassing and it's gotta be stopped.
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: How you do that?
- 1:09:29Speaker 9: I don't have any idea, man, I don't have any idea.
- 1:09:31Speaker 9: I mean, there's a lot of tickets on the secondary market.
- 1:09:33Speaker 9: I was talking to Anthony bay Rudi the other day
- 1:09:35Speaker 9: from Vena Kings dot com for game number three I
- 1:09:38Speaker 9: think it was, or maybe last night.
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: They all run together.
- 1:09:41Speaker 9: Now he had to eat like three hundred tickets for
- 1:09:44Speaker 9: that game because they were just overpriced.
- 1:09:46Speaker 16: What was what?
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: So you were in the building the last two nights? Yes?
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: What was it like in terms of like compared to
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: a regular season Blue Jays?
- 1:09:52Speaker 9: Not even close? But every Blue Jay fan was in
- 1:09:54Speaker 9: my section, every single one. They all said, where do
- 1:09:57Speaker 9: Softy s? Where does that schmuck sin?
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: Where does Sid? I'm gonna go find him and sit there.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: There's I mean, look at there's just look outside, there's
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: an awesome Matthew Toronto.
- 1:10:05Speaker 9: I was on with our buddies up in Vancouver yesterday
- 1:10:08Speaker 9: and I was getting on them a little bit, you know,
- 1:10:10Speaker 9: for rooting for Toronto.
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: You know see, not like not everyone up there. There's
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: a lot of people up there. They know that I
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: know him.
- 1:10:16Speaker 9: I got a friend of mine who's from there, and
- 1:10:17Speaker 9: he can't stand him, not stand Toronto.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: My guys, Dolly and uh, Dolly and Donnie, who I'm
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: on with every week, Dolly and don Donny and Dolly,
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: they hate Toronto because the whole Toronto it's like us
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: for New York, right, Like you're just sick of it?
- 1:10:30Speaker 9: What just think about how arrogant you have to be
- 1:10:33Speaker 9: to think that an entire country should be rooting for you,
- 1:10:36Speaker 9: because we are the only hope that you've got. Okay, look,
- 1:10:40Speaker 9: if you're a Canucks fan, how in the world can
- 1:10:42Speaker 9: you root for a Toronto fan who also happens to
- 1:10:44Speaker 9: be a fan.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: The right and then how can you do? Then they
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: get shoved down their throat and they're like, we don't
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: want to be Toronto. And a lot of people grew
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: up America fans around this area, right, that's the best
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: thing is And and there are a lot of Canadian
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: American fans.
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: But boy, if there's a Blue Jay fan right, there's
- 1:10:58Speaker 4: another one walking. There was a lot of them out there.
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: Do you ever have a pest in your house? Yes?
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: Yes, doesn't I feel like what it's like you need
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: to call an exterminator like I mean Anders.
- 1:11:08Speaker 9: I don't know if you've told the story on the air,
- 1:11:10Speaker 9: but Anders was in a little bit of a breu
- 1:11:12Speaker 9: ha ha yesterday.
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: Not by his choice.
- 1:11:14Speaker 9: It wasn't his fault.
- 1:11:16Speaker 4: It was not his fault at all.
- 1:11:17Speaker 9: There was a douchebag jackass blue Jay fan in the stands.
- 1:11:21Speaker 9: Who who knows. Maybe he had a little bit too
- 1:11:23Speaker 9: much to drink, Maybe he's a little bit angry, Maybe
- 1:11:24Speaker 9: he's just an a hole.
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: I have no idea.
- 1:11:26Speaker 9: I say yes, yes, yes, Hangers and his buddy the
- 1:11:31Speaker 9: Crossfire right in in the in the stands yesterday and
- 1:11:34Speaker 9: this jackal got thrown out of the stands last night.
- 1:11:37Speaker 9: So you know, there's a there's a cockiness to them,
- 1:11:40Speaker 9: you know, for a fan base and has not won
- 1:11:41Speaker 9: anything of significance in what thirty two years or whatever
- 1:11:45Speaker 9: it is, there is a cockiness to that fan base,
- 1:11:48Speaker 9: man that I just find to be extremely unappealing, unappealing,
- 1:11:52Speaker 9: and Andrews. You found out firsthand yesterday.
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: I really did. And I hated the Blue Jays second
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: to only the Astros before last night. For me, just
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: because of personal experience, it has now overtaken them.
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: Ooh wow for you. Wow, good for you. And you're
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: a Dodgers fan of things don't go well? Right, absolutely,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: let's go. I think everyone in tel but we don't
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: have to worry about that, you know, don't worry about it.
- 1:12:12Speaker 9: I remember in two thousand and one when the Mariners
- 1:12:14Speaker 9: lost to the Yankees and it was the Diamondbacks in
- 1:12:17Speaker 9: the World Series. This is one of the offshoots of
- 1:12:19Speaker 9: playing in the ALCS, and hopefully they win it. But
- 1:12:22Speaker 9: one of the offshoots I remember now playing in the
- 1:12:24Speaker 9: ALCS if you lose, is that you don't give a
- 1:12:27Speaker 9: crap about.
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: The World Series.
- 1:12:28Speaker 9: Yeah, you are completely beyond crestfallen. You're bummed out and
- 1:12:32Speaker 9: your heartbroken, and you just don't give a damn about
- 1:12:35Speaker 9: the World Series matter. And I'm really curious to see
- 1:12:38Speaker 9: how we react to that. Honestly, we won't have to
- 1:12:40Speaker 9: worry about it. I hope you're right, man. For your sake,
- 1:12:42Speaker 9: I hope you're right for you and Mark James, I
- 1:12:45Speaker 9: hope you're right. Oh God, holy hell, man, you know what.
- 1:12:48Speaker 9: I gotta be honest with you. I could have ripped
- 1:12:50Speaker 9: your head off the other day on the air. Listen
- 1:12:53Speaker 9: you and you're telling one buddy, I did not get
- 1:12:55Speaker 9: picked off at first. God do those things? I'd go
- 1:12:59Speaker 9: back with Chuckson's see, how was a better baseball team?
- 1:13:01Speaker 9: There's been better baseball team, right?
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: Do you believe that? Of course? But sometimes a better
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: team doesn't win, So you're not supposed to say they're
- 1:13:07Speaker 4: a better baseball team. What do you want me to do?
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about? Man, Stop being so superstitious,
- 1:13:12Speaker 4: cheap here half American, half Canadian trap shot. Well this,
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: this half Canadian has never been a Jameson's son of effection.
