• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we get that figure. Your voices are on YouTube, which Yeah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: your voices are on YouTube, which is good, but your
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: faces yet to be on YouTube. So that's that technology
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that's far down the road fell at least. Ye.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if only there was a company that allowed you
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: to stream within your yard, that allowed you to do
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: it very easily.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: If only there was I that would be unbelievable. Of course,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that would also that would also take other technology. Surf.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We're crazy today. I pulled in, I looked outside. There's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: like a semi it's parked sideways by on the side
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of our building. Apparently that's our generator right now, so
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that's we're just happening power in the building. Yes, microwave
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: work could heat up some leftover is all good? Chris
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Craft for Nathan Bishop. Away we go, and I'll just
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: say his shout out all joking aside with the fire department,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the guy asking me about the murners and and the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you know what, uh sale fire departments. Awesome. I mean
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: those guys didn't mess around. They I just big shout
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: out to those guys and anybody who's in that first
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: responder field man, big fan, We thank you for all
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: your service. All right, opening statements after a resounding three
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: over the weekend preceded by not such a resounding three
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: days before that. Let's go, Nathan Bishop, you get the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: first crack out of today. Your thoughts on the week
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that was, sir.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: I feel like this is the same thing. This happened
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: a lot last year, where the team would go out
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: and play like garbage from Monday through Wednesday, and I'd
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: get to sharpen my knives and have all this fun
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: and like do the little cracking of my knuckles and everything,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: and then the weekend would come, and man, I was
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: so ready because right around the time you guys were
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: dealing with your fire, the bat from each row's statue
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: was falling off in the middle of it being unveiled.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: And I was just so ready to have so much
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: fun all this weekend. But then the stupid Houston Astros
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: rolled into town with their nineteen ninety six Mariner's ass
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: rotation and through three of the worst baseball games I've
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: ever seen in my life. Here is a I think
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Bob Bob Wells is starting the game today. I know
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: it's getting ready to get caught. Yeah, because that's who
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I think they got got.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Mike Schooler is gonna close if need be so he's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in the pen just in case.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: So, yes, Mariner hitters walked twenty six times Friday, Saturday,
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: and Sunday. The San Francisco Giants have walked thirty three
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: times all season long, and they weren't even I mean,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: the Mariners have some hitters that are are good with
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: play discipline. JP Crawford obviously being back, that guy's whole
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: deal is that he knows exactly where the strike zone is.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: So many of these walks were non competitive, four pitches
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: nowhere near the strike zone. It was awful. And I'm
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: rambling about all that to say, not that the Mariner
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: zone deserve credit for playing well and winning all three
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: of these games. But if you look at the American
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: League right now, yes, the Mariners are seven and nine
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: and kind of screwing around. This is exactly the kind
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: of league we thought it was going to be. The
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Minnesota Twins started today with the best record in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: American League at nine and seven. The Mirrors are going
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: to have to work so hard to not win this division.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: It's breathtaking to me. The top three highest walk rates
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: among pitching staffs and baseball right now. Number one is Houston.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Number two is the Angels. Number three is the A's
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: nobody in this division outside of Seattle and Texas a
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: little bit can pitch. So I think it's a good
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: sign for the MS. Man. I just hope they keep
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: a running today. I've found these Houston games unwatchable, with
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: the exception of the fact that my god, Houston has
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: fallen so far.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Which is entering, which is really fun. That's actually really cool.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's actually we kind of enjoy that part. We really
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: kind of truly enjoy. Yes, to be honest with you,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: all right, Chris fire away, am my friend real quick.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I'm just seeing on ESPN Crawford found guilty of caroless driving. Fine,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the better click to make sure that's not me. It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: by the way, it's Terrence Crawford. Call the Mariners Illinois
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: football baby, because they go four and eight pretty much
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: every season. It is just another slow start, and like
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Nathan said, thank God for this series against the Astros
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and the fact that this pitching staff for Houston is
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: just garbage. It is ten pounds of crap in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: five pound bag got one off early. They just I mean,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that is a bad baseball team to watch right now.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Not offensively They've got a lot of guys who can
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: really hit. The Texas Series was concerning as early as
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: all of this stuff is. That Texas Series was concerning
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: because the offense just looked terrible. Josh Naylor still like
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: his timing his way off, and the bad speed is
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: considerably down. There were some things to be concerned about,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: but it was just nice to see this team play
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: well over three games and taking advantage of bad pitching,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: no question about it. But you got to not swing
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the bad at bad pitches, and you gotta take advantage
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: of some stuff. Really impressed with what I've seen from
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Randio Rose Arena as of late. Getting a sweep would
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: be cool here. And by the way, more Friday to
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Monday series. We used to have him when I was
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: a kid, and I don't know, I'm old as dirt,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: but we used to have them all the time.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I like Friday to Monday. This is kind of fun.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna ask you about that like that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: This this kind of also feels Christoph, I'm not mistaken.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: This also kind of very minor league too, right, very
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: very PCL back in the day, right, I think, yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And I always thought that the I could be wrong
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with that. I always kind of thought one of the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: reasons they did that in the minors is because if
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you're flying, it's a lot cheaper maybe to fly on
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the Monday, and easier to fly with a team on
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a Monday as opposed to a Sunday afternoon when people
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: are commuting. But yeah, this kind of feels very pcl
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like Albuquerque's in town for the final of four here
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: at Cheenie Stadium is what it kind of feels like
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: along the way. But yeah, I'm with you. It's it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: getting healthy in a hurry along the way, Nathan Bishop,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Chris Crawford with us. It is a Molly Watt Monday,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Simply Seattle, Simply Seattle dot com,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Duffy Waldorf. By the way, well played, sir, well played, Nathan.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: We go back to what you just said a moment ago.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The the basically the base the the American League, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the Mariners in a second. But the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: American League, it's right eight and seven, nine and seven,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: nine and seven eight, and like nobody is running away
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with the American League. So whatever happened last week was fine.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think that's kind of the thing that
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: we thought this league was going to be coming in
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: and it's felt like we were moving in this direction
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: for a couple of years now, as you saw almost
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: every major transaction involving superstar level talent was taking place. Obviously,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: a huge portion of it is the Dodgers, which is
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: triggered then an arms race in the National League between
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: them and now the Mets most specifically, But then there's
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: a trickle down. There's these guys like the Cubs and
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: the Padres and all of these teams that feel like
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: they're trying to keep up with the big, bad guys
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: over in the National League, but here in the American League.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Because the the Yankees have decided that their highest calling
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: is to be the Jerry Depoto fifty four percent aspirational
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: guys that they have decided they're going to be, there
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: is no big guy on the block to kind of
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: drive that pursuit of, Hey, wouldn't it be cool to
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: win one hundred and five one hundred and ten games
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: in the regular season. All that we're seeing is a
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: bunch of guys trying to do a bunch of math
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: to figure out exactly how hard they have to try
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: in order to still be around for the Wildcard two
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: or Wildcard three, and that's a trickle down of an
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: ever expanding playoff field. So the Mariagigs should be just
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: fine even with this slow start, but obviously, to Chris's point,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: they do need to play better when they're not being
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: walked twenty six times over a weekend.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Chris just along those lines, just kind of to piggyback
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on what Nate said, we always I mean, listen, there's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: there's we look at a record early on and I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: think you were the one last week that said it,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was it was bang on true.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Like you missed home field advantage by four games last year.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So games in April do matter. You want to win.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But in this year, Chris, and this year is American League,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: probably a good year if you want to start out
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: as they did at what was it four and nine?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Oh there's Chris, there's Chris. Can you hear me? Chris?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Sorry, guys, I've got some internet issues. I think Andrews
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: might be aware of my Internet issues as of late.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: A little bit us you're saying that wasn't my fault,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that was your fault. Good, I'll go Yeah, sorry, guys,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: no worries. Yeah, just I was going to say this
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is this was this is the year in the American League,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: right that you want to be four and nine although
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it last week and we talked about in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the next day and everything else, as he said, you're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a smart man and things like that, and wishes you
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: were here instead of me most days. But but I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: think that's the key, Like this year, no one's running
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: away with the American League. So this is a year
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: ago four and nine. We'll get to the other issues
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in a second, that Naylor and all that kind of stuff,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But four and nine this year really didn't hurt you.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: No, thankfully it didn't.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: The only thing you can say is, hey, what if
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: you'd gone seven and six and eight and five and had.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: A little bit of a bigger lead.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: You know, you could always look at the glass half
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: empty if you really want to look at that glass
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: half empty. But no, this and the other thing is man,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: just you know, as a guy who covers a lot
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: of baseball, watching a lot of these teams right now.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: They do not pass the eye test either.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: It is not just a case of like taking a
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: look and seeing some bad one run lock or taking
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: a look at some teams beating up on each other.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Some of these teams just look awful to begin the year,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: and that's going to change. And unfortunately Seattle prior to
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: the last three was one of those teams that looked
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: like one of those garbage baseball teams. But yeah, it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: it's so fortunate that nobody took advantage of this, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: especially it's so fortunate that the Aos just does not
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: look like a strong division in twenty twenty six.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: The Chris me I want to ask just to We'll
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: get to the hitters in a second, but Mark brought
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: this up. MJ brought this up to me in the crosstalk,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and he said, Hey, were you surprised they let Castille
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: stay in for so long on Sunday or Saturday? And
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I I was kind
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of almost two things jumped out one. They were down
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: seven to two. It almost felt like, okay, we'll move
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: on to we're a worry about Sunday, right, and you're just
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: gonna wear this right, you just you'll just go ahead
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and wear this game. But were you surprised that they
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: left him in.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: A little bit?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Now I have to admit I didn't watch that game live,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: but like watching it unfold, I saw some actually okay
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: stuff from Castillo and I looked at it generated thirteen
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: swings and misses in that outing. It's just got a
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: little too much of the plate there, and you do
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: have to build up arm strength here, like there is
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: a little bit of we need to make sure that
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: you get you ready to have those eighty to ninety
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: pitch outings because it's going to be really important for them.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I will say though, Castillo since that brilliant start against
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: the Yankees, has not looked good over these last couple
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: not terrible, but the results are the results. In the
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: fact that he hasn't gotten out of the fourth inning
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: and either of those is a little bit concerning. But
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: I was a little surprised, and it also just kind
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: of speaks to the fact that this bullpen right now,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Dan Wilson is going to play it the way he's
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: played it, and Dan Wilson doesn't appear to feel comfortable
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: doing the Scott service of bringing in a leverage arm
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: to put out a fire type of thing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: That just hasn't been something that they've done so far.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: But overall, I'll just say this, I'm not concerned about
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Luis Castillo. I was a midge and surprised he stayed
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: in the game as long as he.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Nathan. Probably what we go back to, we just talking
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: about how where this team is where the rest of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the American League probably safe to say, and I like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: what Chris said, the eye test isn't being passed. We
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: still know what the what the four to five six
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: guys are going to start games for Seattle that probably
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: passes an eye test. That puts you in a different category, right,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Nathan than people the rest of the American League. Oh?
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, I think that the depth of this rotation, like
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: we've talked about Atndium, speaking of which I'm breaking news here,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: we're talking about eye tests. I just watched Brandon Donovan
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: throw a ball all the way from third base to
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: first on the fly where it was caught by the
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: guy he was trying to throw it to. So that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: pretty cool. But yeah, this rotation is absolutely the thing
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: that I felt coming into the season, because I think
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: the whole thing with the Mariners coming into twenty twenty
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: six was I didn't think it was likely that the
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: positional group as a whole was going to play much
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: better than it did in twenty twenty five. I saw
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: a regression overall coming from the offensive side of things,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: and so what you were going to need to see
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: is that rotation get back to more of what it
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: was in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four and so far,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: even with you know, the occasional struggles from a guy
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: like Castillo and Emerson, Hancock didn't look like an ACE
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: for the first time all year his last time through,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: although he was still fine. This is still the deepest
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: and most talented rotation in the American League. I don't
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: think it's particularly close, although I did like what I
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: saw from the Yankees in those three games that they
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: played against the Yankees. But I'd still take Seattle's every day.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris, that's that's still the strength of this team.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: We'll get to hitting in the next segment. Strength this
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: team is still those five guys five slash six. When
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Miller comes back and it sounds like he had a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: good bullpen yesterday down in Arizona.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: So absolutely the strength.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: And you know what, I'm going to add a seventh
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: the reports I am getting on Katie Anderson.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna see you up for that. Tell
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: people you were you were sent us a text on
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Saturday or something saying this was like the highlight of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: my weekend, which that's a whole different story. But yes,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: yea a little different story forward.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Sure, but he looks phenomenal for those who missed it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Five no hit innings over his last start, eleven strikeouts.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: He struck out seventeen guys in nine innings so far
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: at the Double A level. He's special. He's got a
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: chance to be really good. And he's also I have
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: to admit, like I'm not a huge old school baseball guy.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: It's kind of fun watching somebody miss bats that. It's
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: not one hundred and two. It's not just an elite fastball.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: He misses bats because he commands the heck out of
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: everything he throws, and he generates so much movement with
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: the pitches as well. He's got a chance to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: a really special arm and give the Mariners a really
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: good problem over the summer if this keeps up.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Chris Crawford, does he have to pitch in to calm
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: up before he comes up here? Do you think?
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: No?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: No, I would be surprised if he didn't, because I
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: can't well, they kind of didn't. Like I don't believe
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that Logan Gilbert made a start at Triple A, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I think George Kirby made like one before he called
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: me up. Nathan, you can correct me on that if
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I got that wrong. But they certainly didn't spend a
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: lot of time in Tacoma. So either way, I don't
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: think it's a necessity. I think it is something that
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: if they feel that his stuff is ready to roll,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: they're going to give him a chance to get MLB innings.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Is it help me out here with the abs challenge,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you still just get too right unless you get them right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that is correct. Is it weird to take one on
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the third pitch of the game.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Well, it depends. Was it obviously a strike and it
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: was really dumb to challenge them? Yes?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The answers yes and yes. Oh, well, because.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: I think they're learning, buddy with it's you know.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I think did the same thing. I think the Astros
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: did the same thing on Saturday. They were out and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: they kind of got hooped in the ninth inning.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Well, and I think one of the things that you're
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: going to have to learn, I think it were as players,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: is you've got to take the emotions of a call
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: that was probably right out of it with some of
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: this stuff. And I have seen that so often that
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: somebody is pissed off that they stick out. Okay, let's
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: challenge this because I couldn't have done something wrong. It's
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: got to be somebody else's fault. But this early, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: it wasn't a case of by the way, we're not
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: even supposed to acknowledge this is happening.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: In a little bit.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It is about Olivia Miles. Yes, no, do you like that?
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I mean I want, I want fued, but I don't.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Dallas, I don't know if Dallas
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: can get away with not drafting fud Page is still
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: in Dallas last tight check. And I don't know if
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you know this, she's got a semi strong personality. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: don't know how that would fly. I don't know. I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just it's just a guess. So yeah, that's fair. I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: think they already bought a house there together, So we're
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: all good, all right, We'll take a break, will come back.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I've been avoiding Josh Naylor's offense. Well, he's been avoiding
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: his offense, which is all good, right, that works We'll
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: talk about that with Chris and Nate Malliwa Monday. Next
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: from the R.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: And R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now back to Ian Fornz,
• 16:49

  Speaker 1: Monday. He continues, brought to you by Simply Seattle. Simply
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Seattle dot com. Is we're in the commercial break. I'm
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: going through the minor league report the Mariners send out
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: every day, Chris, Michael Arroyo has been good. It looks
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like so far, we said, nice weekend, Las Montes, Right, Montes, yep,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: had a nice weekend as well. We liked that those
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: are part of the future. Correct, all those guys, And
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I look up and right then and there I see
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Josh Naylor hit a three run home run. What did
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you say, Anders, What did you say? You spoken into existence?
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: I did?
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: He is now he is now seven for sixty on
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the season. As his first home run and he's up
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to five RBI as well. Today's home run aside, Chris,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: what do you see from Josh Naylor?
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Not a lot of batspeed? And you know, that is
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: a little bit more concerning than being off on pitches
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: or you know, not finding the strikes on as much
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: when it's an actual athleticism thing. And let's just be honest,
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Josh Naylor is not exactly known for his athleticism either.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Now he's had some bad luck.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: There have been some line drives that have just found
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: the gloves of first basement or right fielders so many
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: times this year, but there have been a lot of
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: just weak contact, more swing and mists than we're usually
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: seeing from Josh Naylor as well. That was nice to see.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: That was nice to see that laser. Who I gotta
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: be honest, I was wondering how is this gonna go
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: wrong just because it's been that kind of start to
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: the season for Naylor. But I am concerned about the
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: lack of bat speed. Not a huge thing that is
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: impossible to overcome as he feels more comfortable as he
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: loosens up, but it is a little bit concerning that
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: it is an athletic thing more than a process thing
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: with Naylor.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: To me, one to thank Nathan, where's your concern level
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: for Naylor today? Aside?
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Ah like a six where it's it's still soar and
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I just really have a hard time caring about almost
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: any stats until May. I will echo what Chris is
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: talking about as far as process. Naylor is such an
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: interesting player because he plays first base. He's a bigger guy,
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: so you think that he's going to be this like
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: prototypical thirty five home run slugger who hits like two forty.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: But you know, his skill set has always been higher
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: contact with a little less power that he can absolutely
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: crush a baseball. He can hit it plenty far, but
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: he's never been a huge home run guy. So what
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: I want to see is just get that batting average
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: up there. And part of that's going to be just
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: the babbit regression when you see more balls find some grass.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: But he just needs to start putting a lot better,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: a lot more good swings on the ball. And if
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: that bat speed doesn't come back this year, like if
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: that's a permanent thing this year, that contract is going
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: to start looking not great a lot earlier than we
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: thought it was going to. So that's that's the real reason.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: That's probably adding two to my concern is less is
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: josh Nay Naylor going to be fine this year? I
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: think he probably will be. But if he's at all
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: a reduced version of himself now in year one of
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: a five year contract, that that contract's going to start
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: looking interesting going into twenty twenty seven and beyond.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Chris as a guy that does kind of study everything
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: around the league and you're watching this, I think last
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: week it was like you know, said to us two
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, I guess there's a few guys around the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: league that have batspeed down, but specifically with the three
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: guys in Seattle, was you know the BA velocity was
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: way down compared to last year. Is this a norm though?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing that from others around the league or
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: is nail Or an outlier? And what do we see
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: him from Cal and Julio in that regard.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit more of an outlier now.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Like I said, there are guys who are struggling right now,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: but it hasn't really been.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: With bat speed.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: The good news is Seattle, Julio and Cal have bounced back.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Like Cal, I was just looking, Julio ranks now in
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: the ninety six percent dial in bat speed, and I
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: think Big Dumper was something like eighty five eighty six
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: percent dial.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: But no, it was. And here's the thing.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: What you us only happens with bat speed guys who
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: struggle early, it's because they're not comfortable swinging fully, like
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: they're not picking up the baseball well enough to completely
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: give it that entire rip. With Josh Naylor, I think
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: it is something where he's just not ripping it, like
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: he's giving it his full swing and he's just not
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: getting there. You've seen some in betweens from Julio and
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Cal earlier that kind of affect that number, but they're
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: back on their way up with Naylor. Outside of I'll
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: have to take a look at what the bat speed
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: was on this home run. Outside of that, Joss Naylor
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: just hasn't swung a very fast bat, and that is concerning.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: How about Julio? But mister clutch five rbiyes this season
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and let's see, two are game tying and then the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: other one was a two run home in the ninth
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: inning and the other one was a game time home
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: run I think in the eighth inning. Like, right, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: guess you just clutch up. I mean, who else, like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: let me know when it matters. He's almost the ondress
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Munos of hitters now, right, just just tap me when
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you need me. Otherwise I'm going to take a few
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: innings off.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: It's so fun to watch, and you know, he's he's
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: It's fun to watch for a lot of reasons.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: One of them is there.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Is a portion of a fan base that doesn't still
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: fall in love with Julio Rodriguez. Let's just be honest.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: I see it every day. I to hear it every
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: day via either text or via comments on YouTube or whatever.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: There are still people who have not loved watching Julio.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: But you can't question the clutch gene anymore. Man Like
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: that is as clutch as it gets. To tie games
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: with two outs in the ninth inning, that's huge. And
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: you know, you take a look at the Savant page
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: here everything really but Chase is totally fine, totally fine,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: and his defense remains elite.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I have no I'm not happy with the numbers Julios
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: put up.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Everything in process with Julio Rodriguez for this first tenth
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: of the season suggests that he's going to be just fine.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: And can Yeah. And in isolation too, that swing he
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: put on the ball for the home run on Saturday,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I know that Randy hit an absolute tank. This weekend.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: But for my money, that ball that Julio hit on
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Saturday was my favorite swing of any Mariner this year.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: And I think he's the only guy on the team
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: that really hits that kind of a bomb, that way
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: out slightly slightly at a right center but almost dead center,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: bomb that almost hits the batter's eye in the back there.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: And it was such easy power, such an easy swing
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: to be getting that kind of To have a center
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: fielder do that kind of thing, I can't believe that
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: we've actually seen that before here, but we have. But
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: that is such a rare thing to have that kind
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: of a player play that position, be able to put
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: that kind of a swing on the ball, regardless of
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: game state. Everything Chris said about the clutch part is
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: true too. But just in isolation, what a beautiful home
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: run that was, and what an incredibly talented baseball player
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: he used to watch. I cal was the story of
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: the season last year. But when you watch Julio Rodriguez
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: play baseball, I mean, what a special thing. The guy's
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: just one of the most talented baseball players I've ever
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: seen in my life.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Great, So wait a second, you guys are both telling
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: me that that Julio Rodriguez is a good player and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we should be excited to watch him play every day
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: here in Seattle and enjoy what we have. Are you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: telling me that you too? Is that what I'm hearing?
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Tacoma Dodg's text line, I don't know what to
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: tell you, but.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I don't get it, but like, hey, you do you
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: and uh hold on to your Jim Presley memory.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Trying I'm trying to think, have we ever had a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: player of in any sport in Seattle of his ability
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that drew as much criticism as he does? Maybe Russell Wilson,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Like I guess Sean Alexander. Maybe is it Seawan Alexander?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, Seawan Alexander is a good one. Because everybody loves
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: to tell me that it was just because of Hutchinson
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: and Jones that he was a good player, including many
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: of my friends who are no longer my friends because
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: they said stupid crap like that great comp It's a
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: it's a different thing, but I think that is the guy.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: He's the only guy I can think of who was
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: literally an MVP. Yes, that many fans just didn't love.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I think when I hope he wins the at some
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: point we get a Julio MVP for no other reason
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: because I want to hear the next year the criticism
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: of Julio, like, you know, like that's well, you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it's almost like the guy this weekend of the Masters
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: that asked Scotty after he shot six under well, what
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: could he have done better? What would you leave? I
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: shot six hunder Man?
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Like yeah, you know.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: What's funny about that? Alexander komm too that that I
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: just thought of. He and Julio are guilty of the
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: thing that I think irritates a weird subset of fans.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: They're really happy guys. They play and exist with a
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: lot of joy. I always mind defining memory of Sean
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Alexander without his helmet on, is that huge already smile.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Julio plays the game with so much joy. And I
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: think there's a part of the fan base or just
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: a part of our society that thinks you're never supposed
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: to emotion if you're a man, and it's exhausting. And
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I hope that that's not if you're listening, that's not you.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: If it is, maybe think about why that is and
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: start learning to appreciate people who show their emotions and
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: let themselves feel while they're getting paid millions of dollars
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: to play a game.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Exactly well said, all right, Nathan goes sell some houses.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: People want to need house. Nathan Bishops over there, he's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: in the gold circle of sales. I saw. Congratulations, You're
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: kind of a big deal in the real estate world.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: We are trying, sir, We're going to try to get
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: to the platinum this year. That's the idea.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Well done, and mile Y, I believe it's still on
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: YouTube if I'm not mistaken and Rotal World, is that right, Chris?
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: That is correct.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: By the way, Speaking of golf, I'm disappointed you didn't
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: acknowledge my name today in the zoom change.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Duff Duffy Waldorf is the zoom chat. I just wanted
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: to go back. I'm like, did I miss something that
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Duffy actually win a Master's. No, his highest finish and
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the Master's tied for fifth and ninety six. I missed
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the cut a couple of times his highest your guy, Duffy,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that that you're doing today the highest finish in a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: major was indeed that the tide for fifth. He had
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a top ten at the PGA.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: I believe one of these times, when Chris comes in
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: with his name, I'll actually get the joke.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: It's never gonna be anyone that was alive. Yeah, yeah,
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: it was famous when you were alive. Also, Chris, he
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: did mention it. I gotta, I gotta defend Ian's honor.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: He did mention it. Your internet was on auxiliary.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I did, actually earlier because I had it
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: called up to say, God, what did I miss with
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Duffy the Masters, and he'd do something, but he like,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you know what the bet or something at something T

  Speaker 7: Here you go.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: This is Todd li Wiki. He joined us the other
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: day on the Krack and Hockey Network and we've all
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: kind of heard various thoughts from Todd this is where
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the franchise is headed next, and his thoughts on Ron
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: France is departing the organization.
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, first, let me just start by saying,
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: you know, the journey this got went on with us
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: was really incredible. This didn't exist, well, it did, but
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: it was in prior form. We didn't have a name,
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: we didn't have a training center. He designed our locker
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: room here, he designed the locker room in north Gate.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: He did a lot of stuff.
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: He helped create the name, the brand, the feeling, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: he was our founding general manager and for that we're
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: going to be just forever grateful. But I think we
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: hit a point of inflection. I think he felt it
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: as well, and it was a sort of a mutual
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: feeling that it was a good time for him to
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: step beside. Jason was brought in as our associate general manager.
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: He had been incredibly well trained you know, his whole life. Really,
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: his grandmother was an Olympian, his mother was an Olympian.
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: His sister is highly decorated. Jason was the only guy
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: in junior hockey in Canada to win three gold medals.
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: One off first round draft pick, played for a while
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: in the league, got concussed, one, got a master's degree,
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: one to the NHL, applied his trade, had an incredible
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: run at Pittsburgh, and then was general manager in Buffalo
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: and learned a lot.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: So he came here.
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: Really is Ron's number two, and we always know that
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: someday would come that he would sit in that number
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: one share and we're that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: Day, Todd.
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: Let's talk about what comes next now, as you shared
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: with some of us this morning, and no one is
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: satisfied with what's happened on the ice, and you shared
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: some next steps.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if maybe you and.
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: I are fortunate or unfortunate to have been around a
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: lot of consultants, but you shared that there's going to
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: be an audit. Can you talk about specifically what's going
• 31:23
  Speaker 11: on there, because this isn't Jason Botral doing his own audit.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: Tell us what's happening.
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so we are going to look, we're gonna lay
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: eyes on everything we're doing, and we're gonna ask, you know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: hard questions. How are we structured right, how are we
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: training players in the off season? What more can we
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: do to get players to want to come here from
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: other teams? And it's really helpful to ask outsiders, and
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: ultimately I and all of this reported to our owner,
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: Samantha Holloway, who is a phenomenal owner. She is there
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: is and we've draft and done so many things, not
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: just with a hockey team, but so many other things.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: And I believe she's going to help lead the way
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: for another team that it's going to play in this
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: building at some point in time.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: So it's a.
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: Super healthy thing, obviously, and we're working on exactly how
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: that's going to work, and obviously they will work with
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: Jason and his team, But this is all going to
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: report into the owner, Make no mistake about it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: One of the big messages I took from this morning
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: was that you don't think it's been good enough for
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: the fans and that you want to do right by them.
• 32:26
  Speaker 12: So can you kind of explain what that fan base
• 32:30
  Speaker 12: means to this organization?
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: Well, it's everything it's our oxygen. And this is for me.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: This is my second time working for the fans, maybe
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: the third. I helped start the Sounders, but you know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: these are incredible fans and they bought into this before
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: there was a name, and they took this incredible leap
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: of faith with us. And you know, quite honestly, we
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: got to do better and we're going to. And I
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: say that with confidence because when you look at the
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: body of work of what we've done and what we've
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: put our mind to and the excellence that this organization's created.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: We got to get this done.
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: But I'm really confident we will because we've taken on
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: things and we've gotten them done. This Arena is an example,
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: Our training center is an example. Are Broadcast is another example.
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: There's just so much good that this organization's done. But
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: at the heart of it is the team. And we've
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: got to inspire this team to do better. And yes,
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: we're going to have outsiders. Look, but the word inspire
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: is so important. We've got to push our players, inspire
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: our players, inspire our coaches, inspire our leadership.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: And that's something I've done in my career.
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: And you know, you don't really push people by threats,
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: you inspire people to do greater.
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: And that's really what we're going to try and do here.
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: We are going to have an active offseason, but we're
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: going to take a fresh look at everything and we're
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: going to we're going to assess every aspect of this organization.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: You know why, because that's exactly what the fans would
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: want us to do. And we I work for saman
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: Paalo Bay, where we all work.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: For the fans.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Todd, one of the things that you know obviously happens
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: in pro sports is you need to have great players
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: like you need to have good players. I think there's
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: a thought something we'll just wave a magic wand and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: bring in a guy like Sydney crossby Connor McDavid Nathan
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: McKinnon and do that. It's impossible to do. You know that,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: we all know that. At same time, though you mentioned
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a couple of times just now with bretton also this morning,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: how this offseason needs to be aggressive. What do you
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: want to see? What is the edict to Jason bott
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Roll for this offseason?
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: Well, you know it's it's less of an adict than saying, hey,
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: what are the ways and means on which We're going
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: to continue.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: To prove this team. It's not just this offseason.
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: We want to build long term, competitive, competitive team and
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: there's lots of examples of it across sports and certainly
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: in the NHL. We do have four first round picks.
• 34:51
  Speaker 10: You don't like it or not, and uh, but you
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: know we're going to have a low pick here, and
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: we're going to have a very low pick. And there's
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: some excellent players this year's draft. Our Firebirds are an
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: excellent indicator of what's about to come. And they're playing
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: very well. They've made the playoffs again. Their first two years,
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: they went all the way to the Calder Cup finals.
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: That's an incredibly well run farm team for us. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: then there are some young players here that are going
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: to mature and are going to be the stars coming.
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: How do we buttress that we went into the Olympic
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: Break in a playoff spot, we came out of it
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: and we've struggled, and that adversity actually creates opportunity for
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: us to ask questions and say we've got to do better.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: And this is an ownership that doesn't rest on her laurels,
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: and we have investors, but Samantha Holloway is our leader.
• 35:41
  Speaker 10: She's our boss, and she wants this to be an
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: organization that wins in all aspects. And we've done a
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: lot of winning. We've won with this building. It's filled
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: every night, storm games, Torrent games, concerts. We've won in
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: the community. But we've got to win on the ice,
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: and that's her charter.
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: Todd, you mentioned excellence, and that's a theme you shared
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: again this morning, of the pursuit of excellence. Talk about
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: how that is part of the identity of what has
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: been built and now what needs to be built fully
• 36:10
  Speaker 11: across all parts of the organization.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: Well, we've worked. I've worked hard.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: I've been at this for eight years, and many people
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: thought this was highly improbable, bringing a hockey team here,
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: creating what I think is the most beautiful arena in
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: the world. I'll put this arena up against any building,
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: a training center. The way we have, building out the
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: brand the way we have, It's been hard work. This
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: is the next step, this is the final step. We've
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: got to get this team to a better place, and
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: I'm confident we will.
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: Well, I've been in locker rooms when these type of
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: moves have been made, and guys like you have come
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: and talked and we heard you went and talked to
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: the players before the press conference this morning, and to
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: be honest, it can be a shameful time as a
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: player because you feel kind of partly responsible for that.
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: So is there anything you can share with us what
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: the message to those players was, or what you wanted
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: to be and even possibly future free agent what that
• 37:01
  Speaker 12: message is to them.
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think when you really look at it, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: I remember my days at the Seahawks and we were
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: having a little trouble getting players to come pay visits
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: out here, but we turn that around and the rest
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: is history. And so you know, there are challenges in
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: front of us, but none of them are insurmountable. I
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: think players generally love playing here, but we're even going
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: to work on that part of it. How can we
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: create a better experience for our players their families And
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: you know the reputation is that it rains out here,
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: Well it's cloudy.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: I will say this.
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: The magazine kind of nast Day our Travel and Leisure
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: rather last edition in March rated Seattle is the best
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: city to live in in the United States and one
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: of the ten best cities to live in the world.
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: We've got to tell that story. And you know, left
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: to left to social media and all Seattle it rains
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: all the time. This is an incredible city with that
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: fights above its weight class and has so much to offer,
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: and that's in part why these other teams have and
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: I'm confident we're going to do the same.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: Todd.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I look back. You mentioned the Seahawks a couple of times,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and for fans don't remember, Todd was the CEO of
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the president of the Seahawks. When you made a move
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: after one year with Jim Mora and you brought in
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Pete Carroll worked out okay,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and John Schnodder and John my buddy worked out very
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: well for everybody involved. But these news moves are never
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: easy for you. How difficult was this conversation with Ron?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: As you mentioned, the reason we're all sitting here and
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: this organization was built was Ron Francis. How difficult was that?
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: I have great respect for Ron seventeen over seventeen hundred
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: games in the league, you know, chairman of the Hockey
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: Hall of Fame, which he was a member. I mean,
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: really quite amazing, and so he knows how I feel.
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: About him, and he knows how we feel about him,
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: and you know, I think on his behalf, we want
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: to get this to a whole other level because he
• 38:50
  Speaker 10: worked already, He spilled blood to build this, and we
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: own that, we owe the fans that that's what we're
• 38:56
  Speaker 10: going to do.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you coming up here today.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: No what pleasure.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Not the most pleasant circus substances, but we appreciate. I
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: think the fans really appreciate hearing the message as well
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: about getting this thing back on track.
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: Okay, and let me just say, as the season ends,
• 39:08
  Speaker 10: you have all done terrific work. We're so proud of
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: our broadcasts. We're proud of many things, but we're definitely
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: proud of our broadcast.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: So thank you. He was looking actually at Bretton Allison,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: not me when he said that. All right, that's Todd Lightwicky.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Good stuff from him. We'll come back. Let's talk a

  Speaker 1: can you believe that four nine four or five one?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Is it to come a dodge? Text line? Four nine
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: four five one to come a dodge? Text line? Your thoughts,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: your comments, your questions, your concerns about all of us
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: as we dodged what we had to dodge the other day,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: of course, out of would be the fire of the
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: power outage, everything else, right, the gong show that was
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: you weren't here, right, you were gone. I take a
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: day off, and you guys decided to burn the place down. Well, no,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: it wasn't us. It was a chemical guys or the
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: whatever they are down the down the second floor guys, Yeah,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: second floor guys. You know whatever, weird things they're doing
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: down there. Yeah, yeah, good job fell us, good job,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: well done, well done. Anyway, we're on backup power, but
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: we're plugging away here on this Monday afternoon, so we'll
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: get your comments, your thoughts four nine, four to five one,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: whatever's on your mind. Coming up at two thirty today,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Softy at two forty five CUC with NFL Draft, our
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: guy Greg Cosell. Talk to him every week. Our last
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: installment with him in amongst the fire Alarms everything else.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I wanted to kind of revisit that talking about the
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the draft, and of course that starts with
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: when they pick a cornerback at number thirty two with
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: only four picks in the draft.
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: You and I knowing John Schneider, you know him better
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: than I obviously, we know that that's going to change.
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: They're not going to draft four plus.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent going to change. There's no doubt
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: about that. We should mention that Greg Gosell is brought
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: to you by our good friends at the Hall Group.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: And listen, there's a lot of hauls, but we want
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to tell you about this specifically. Baseball season is underway
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: right now. Are you heading to the games? Make occidental Haul,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: your first stop and your last stop at your Mariners
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: pre and post game headquarters. Game Day starts at the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Hall after every home game, and they're back in town
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: on Friday. This coming Friday and all through the weekend.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: After every home game, celebrate with five dollars smash Burgers
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: plus happy hour Monday through Friday from four to six
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Occidental Hall. This is how you do game day. I
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: should also mention that we've just had we have three
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: home games left for your Seattle Kraken. Best pre and
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: post game place for the Kraken of course the queen
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Ane Beer Hall as well. I think I'm gonna make
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: my way there after the game on Saturday. It's an
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: early game, so I think I'm gonna swing on by
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and grab myself a smash Burger after the game and
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: hang out with our TV crew. Draft it's our last
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: home broadcast, so go check that out. Torrent Games as well,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: a great place to go for pre and posts near
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: the Climate Plagerina or of course Occidental Hall. Don't forget
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: it from the east side Muspe Hall over in Kirkland
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: as well. All right, Greg, let's talk edge rushers today.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: General thought, Real quick edge rushers this year, and actually,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw this at you because we have to
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: go through this. Every team looks at edge rushers differently.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: You talk to coaches all the time, you know, we
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: used to kind of think of edge rushers as the
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: defensive end in a four to three alignment on a defense.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: That's not the case anymore. Like the Seahawks call them
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: out side linebackers or rush edges or whatever they call them.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Every team has a different look. What is today's in
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: general terms NFL edge rusher? What does he look like?
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that's team and scheme specific, and this
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: draft reflects that. Is that there are guys who are
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: true pass rushers off the edge. They have pass rush traits.
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: That's what they do. That's how they'll make their money
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: in the NFL if they're going to be good NFL
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: players because they can rush the quarterback. And then there
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: are other players who are age players, but they're not
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: necessarily strong pass rushers. They're powerful, they're strong, they're strong
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: against the run, they play with violence, they play off
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: contact really well. Yes they can get some sacks, but
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: they're not necessarily guys you would call great edge rushers.
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: And then there's other guys who are multi positional, and
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: we'll get to one of those as well in this draft,
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: one who can certainly line up on the edge, but
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: could well end up playing inside more depending upon team
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: and scheme. So there's different categories the in of edge rusher,
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: you know it, And I think Seattle is a good
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: example of that with someone like Derek Hall. You know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: Derek Hall. And again, I'm not gonna sit here and say,
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: because obviously I watched every snap, but that was a
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: while ago, and so I can't remember every single thing,
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: believe it or not. But I mean I'm not gonna
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: sit here and say Derek Hall never played one snap inside.
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: But you're not drafting Derek Hall to play inside, you know,
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: as a pass rusher you're playing. You're drafting him to
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: play outside as an edge rusher, and he obviously did
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: very well down the stretch.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Greg, I'll just I've got a list of guys in
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: front of me, but you tease me, who's the guy
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: you just referenced inside outside guy.
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: Keldrick Falk from Auburn. Keldric Fawk is a mountain of
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: a young man. I mean, these guys are young. I
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: mean I think he's twenty years old, and we forget
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: that sometimes. I mean, it's like watching the nca basketball tournament.
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: You see these eighteen year old freshmen. I mean, I'm
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: just blown away by the talent that they have. But anyway, fuck,
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: I think it's twenty. He's six six to seventy six ian.
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: His arm length is thirty four and three eight. He's
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: got a wingspan that's over eighty two. He's powerful, he's
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: strong in Auburn's defense, and I've watched him for two years.
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: He played anywhere from zero technique, which means he lines
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: up head up on the offensive center, to wide nine,
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: which means he lines up outside in offensive tackle. So
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: but he's not a pure pass rusher. He's a power player.
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: So sure he has some speed to power element to
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: his rush, but he's not a sudden, twitchy guy that's
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: going to beat you off the edge with his quickness.
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: So you know, he's an example of a guy that
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: if you draft him, you probably have you well, you
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: don't have to understand, you will understand if you draft him,
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: you will definitely know what he is. And they could
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: play probably anywhere along your defensive front, you know, depending
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: on on how you want to line up, I'll give
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: you an example. He's a much better prospect than Mike Morris. Okay,
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: Morris is the big kid out of Michigan who lined
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: up at defensive end in Michigan. But it's played a
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: lot of snaps inside for Seattle because he's he he's
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: so big, and he's got some physical power to him,
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: you know, but he's not an age rusher, so you know,
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: you try to find ways to use them.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Is Falk more explosive though than Morris, because I mean
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Morris doesn't have much of a burst.
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a way better prospect. Yes, I mean Maris
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: was a really nice college player. And if I'm not mistaken,
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: it wasn't he like a fourth or fifth round pick.
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: I mean he was not a high high pick.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: I was just trying to use that as a comparison
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: because they're both tall, they're both long, neither one is
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: a pure age rusher.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just like looking at his numbers, it
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: kind of felt body type looked a lot similar to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: what Morris. And Morris is a serviceable guy for Seattle,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a depth guy and and all that. Folka young guys,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: you know, small town Alabama, guy went to Auburn, hasn't
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: left the state. Young kid, We'll see what he's got
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, I'm gonna jump around a little bit
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: when I.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: Watch Folk, just to give you an example. And I
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: know we want to move on and get to a
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: bunch of guns. When I walked Falk, I thought of
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: Bill Belichick and how he deploys a lot of defensive linemen.
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: And obviously he's not coaching in the NFL, and certainly
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: Fulk's not Richard Seymour. But if you remember the way
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: Richard Seymour would line up at d n detail, he
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: didn up anywhere along the defensive line, and Fox not
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: Richard Seymour. I don't want people to think I'm making
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: an apples to apples comparison, but I thought of that's
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: that's the kind of way in which you'll be deployed
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: if you draft.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. I'm gonna skip by Listen, rvel Reeve,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: David Bailey, both guys ranked relyhire. I'm gonna skip by
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: those because Seattle's not going to get those guys or not.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: That's not they're not going to be trading up to
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: the top five.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I am and a then other guy's
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: gonna go probably very early. But I'm just curious to
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: get your thoughts on him, because we all know him
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: and remember from the from the title or the run
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I would love to get your thoughts
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: on what you've seen from Ruben Bain Junior. We've heard
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: a lot. I've heard a lot about him after the combine,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the short arms, all that kind of stuff. What do
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you see from Ruben ban He's not going to be
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: a seahawk, But what do you see from Ruben Bain?
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I don't have and I'm being honest,
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: I don't have an answer about the arm length. And
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you why. I'm going to give you a
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: very quick analogy which two people way smarter than I am,
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: and why I don't have an answer. It involves Will Campbell,
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: the offensive tackle for the Patriots. I heard Joe Thomas,
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: who obviously knows more about offensive tackle play than I do,
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: saying that his problems down the stretch had nothing to
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: do with arm length. Then I spoke to a good
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: friend of mine who's been an offensive line coach in
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: the league for thirty plus years, who said absolutely it
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: had everything to do with the short arms. So when
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: you hear two people who are really smart say that
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: I can't tell you what his arm length means, I
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: can tell you what he looks like on film.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: And he's a.
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: Sought off, hyper competitive, hyper physical power player. He's a
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: fun guy to watch because he plays so hard. He
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: knows how to use his hands and whatever arm length
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: you want to give him, you know, and he's very
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: good at playing off contact, and there's just a sheer
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: physicality and toughness and competitiveness to his game. But he's
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: more than likely just a defensive end.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: Having said that, I thought there were some similarities to
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: Brandon Graham when he came out of Michigan and Graham
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: later in his career started playing inside for Philly, but
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: he didn't do that early in his career. So, you know,
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: Bain is not an outside backer. You know, he's not
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: a stand up guy. He's going to drop into cover.
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: You know, that's not who he is. You're not drafting
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: him to do that. But he's a really good football player.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: And there's people who believe that the arm length won't
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: matter because of the way in which he plays, And
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: I guarantee in draft meetings. There'll be others who say,
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: uh uh, history shows that no one with that arm
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: length makes it as a defensive end, which, by the way,
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: history shows so you're gonna have competing thoughts and competing
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: draft processes right there. Like I said, I love watching
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: him play. I don't have an answer to it. I'm
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: just being honest.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Greg Cozell joining his courtesy of the Hall Group. Don't
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: forget swinging on by the Occidental Hall before or after
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: baseball games this season. Five dollars smash Burger's post game.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to Let's stay with Miami and
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: talk about his teammate because he might be around if
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Seattle's drafting into the first round or maybe even the
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: second round. Who knows. That's a key messador.
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and he's an older player. You know which teams
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: will have different views on that. I think will be
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: twenty five. He's a much juicier, more explosive off the
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: ball athlete than ruben Bain. He's got sudden quickness off
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: the ball, he can generate velocity at the top of
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: his past rush arc. He's violent as well. I mean,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: he's the there's physicality, there's strong hands, he's got short
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: stroke power. He showed some speed to power. He's built differently.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: Even though he's not significantly taller, he looks longer on film.
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: You know, he's got really good body control and balance.
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: He's a really interesting guy. You know, look, who knows
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: how this draft's going to play out, because with the
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: lack of quarterbacks in it, you just don't know how.
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: You know, players will start to come off the board
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: and sometimes that changes how teams do things. But Messidor
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: is a very interesting guy. He's he's more of a
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: true edge player when you think of a guy that
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: has true pass rush traits.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Last week we talked with our buddy Rob rang about
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Zion Young and it sounds like Young from Missouri is
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: a guy that is I'm gonna use the word kind
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: of polarizing in the sense of you just said it
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: a moment ago. Every team looks and listen, every team
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: looks at every player differentely right, whether it's age, arm, length,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: all these things. Zion Young kind of feels like one
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: of those guys is can be much debated during the
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: draft from Missouri. What do you see from him on tape?
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because I think.
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: He falls more into that category I mentioned when you
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: asked me initially about you know, edge players. I think
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: he's more of a prototypical four to three D N
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: in a foundational four man D line front. His staple
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: strengths are power and physicality and working his hands. He's
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: not a twitchy, sudden guy. Doesn't mean he can never
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: sack the quarterback, but he doesn't have that higher level
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: bend in flexibility, so he wins kind of as a
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: pass rusher with methodical power and hand placement. But he's
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: six six two sixty two. You know, he's a big man.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: He looks big on tape. He's very good at block reconstruction.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: In the run game, he can set the edge. But
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: you know, to me, you don't draft him and say
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: he's now my age rusher. This is the guy we're
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: going to count on that other teams are going to
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: account for when they play us. He's not that guy.
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: But he's a good football player. He's just you know,
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: I'm a big believer Ian and you'll appreciate. To me,
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: you've got to understand what a guy is. It's like
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: in baseball, okay, with free agency, when a guy is
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: in a lineup and batting seventy hits thirty home runs,
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: and then some team signs hup to big money and
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: wants to bat him third, thinking he's going to do
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: exactly the same thing. You know, it doesn't always work
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: like that, you know it you sort of to me,
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: you have to have a sense of what a guy is.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Well. The thing with young that's interesting about him is
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: again probably what scheme specific in a sense as well,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: and as we're talking about, yeah, as we're talking about
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: edge rushers and you know, which is as Greg articulated
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: and kind of defined at the start of the segment,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's wide ranging and what looks like, see, I
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: don't have the best defense statistically in the NFL last year, Greg,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: as you well know, their top sack guys were in
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the two guys in the interior both with seven sacks. Yep, Like,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: this is not a team Mike McDonald, I don't know
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: if he's looking for, like that that speed edge rusher
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: that we've come to know and talk about over the years.
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: It may not be the priority. I mean, I'm sure
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: if there was one that he you know, was there,
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: Like you know, depending on what they choose to do
• 54:06
  Speaker 8: with their draft picks, you have someone like Malachi Lawrence
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: from UCF. I have no idea how how John Schneider
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: or Mike McDonald feels about Malachi Lawrence. But he's not
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: likely to be a first round pick. And if you
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: really like him, you know he's that he's that kind
• 54:21
  Speaker 8: of guy. He's got some length to him. He's a
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: good rusher, plays the run pretty well. He's like a
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: he's a solid edge rushing prospect. But you know, Zion Young,
• 54:30
  Speaker 8: just to give you an example, because you know we're
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: both a little older, and we go back to football
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: from a few years ago, back in the day when
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: we used to look at a four to three d
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: N and say he's a strong side d N. He plays,
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: you know, over the tight end.
• 54:41
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: We used to say that about guys that to me
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: is Ion Young. Okay, who's Iion Young is to me?
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's and I when I bring up just
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: kind of how they look at it, like it feels
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: like they they do everything kind of by committee up
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: front a little bit too. And Zion Young might fit that.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: But let's talk about malt Let's go back to Malachi
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Lawrence from UCF and what you see from him.
• 54:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he would. I didn't know much about him at all.
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: In fact, a very good friend of mine at the
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: combine told me about him. Obviously, UCF's not necessarily on
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: you know, TV all the time I did, so I
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: didn't see much of him at all, didn't know a
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: lot about him.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: I liked him.
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: I thought he showed some knock back power in his hands,
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: in his arms, which is very good in the run game.
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: I thought he could stop and redirect. He's a plus athlete.
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: He's over sixty four, he's over two fifty, he's got
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: good arm length.
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: I think that he's he showed some tools in his
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: toolbox where he has to work on some things, and
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: they all do, by the way, so it's never a
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: knock on a player on a prospect, their prospects to
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: say they have things to work on. He's got to
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: work on playing off contact, reworking his hands, which is
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: very common, by the way, for college pass rushers, because
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: they don't do that a lot in college. He reminded
• 55:49
  Speaker 8: me a little bit of and I'm sure we talked
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: about this guy last year. He was a rookie this
• 55:53
  Speaker 8: year in Carolina named Nick Scourton who actually played a
• 55:56
  Speaker 8: lot in Carolina and played well toward the end of
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: the season. He reminded me of Nick Goarurton quite a bit.
• 56:01
  Speaker 8: But I like Malachi Lawrence.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: How about Cassius Howell from Texas A and M.
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: Now there's another guy that has an arm lenge, major concern,
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: but he is super juicy. I mean, this guy is.
• 56:14
  Speaker 8: He may be, along with David Bally, the two most
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: explosive edge players in this draft in terms of just
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: exploding off the edge. I mean, this guy is, that's
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: just who he is. I mean, he is super quick,
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: He's got explosive get off, he's got first step twitch.
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: I mean, this guy challenges the high side of offensive tackles,
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: meeting the outside shoulder as quickly as you can can
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: do it. And he's he can do some things off
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: of that. He's got that one arm stead. He plays
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: as if his arms are longer. That's the odd thing
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: he plays because there's times when he uses his arms really,
• 56:53
  Speaker 8: really well. Now you could also say he's always had
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: short arms, So you know, that's the thing. You know,
• 56:59
  Speaker 8: guys know what they are, right and you know know
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: what they are. When you play sports long enough, you
• 57:04
  Speaker 8: know what you can do. And what you can't do.
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: But this guy is I think he can play in
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: a five to two base as an outside backer. His
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: coverage ability is very, very good. But this guy is
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: he's explosive and he's terrific as a looper in stunts
• 57:19
  Speaker 8: because he's got that short area of burst. He's got flexibility,
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: and man does he have closing speed.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: We got a couple more guys we get in time
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to hit on as well. How about ar Mason Thomas
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma.
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's he falls a little more into the catcher's
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: hell category, although he doesn't weigh as much and that
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: shows up. But he's another guy that has some juice
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: to him. I don't think it's at the same level
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: of Howel And he weighs a good ten twelve pounds less,
• 57:44
  Speaker 8: and sometimes that shows up on film when you know,
• 57:46
  Speaker 8: because don't forget you weigh two forty As an edge rusher,
• 57:50
  Speaker 8: you're giving up, you know, seventy pounds to pretty much
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: every offensive tackle you're going against right now. They know that,
• 57:56
  Speaker 8: of course, so you know there's you know there's and
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: these guys know that and they know how to deal
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: with it. I like our Mason Thomas but I don't
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: think he's at the level of prospect is as let's say,
• 58:07
  Speaker 8: Akeshus Howell, even though he'd fit into the same box.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Is it Gabe Jackis from Illinois? Is it Jackus? Yeah?
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: I think he's more like Zion Young personally. I know
• 58:17
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of different shatter about him, you know,
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: and some people really really like him because he's just
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: you know, he's one of those guys you come away
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: and go he's a good football player. But I think
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: he's his game's built on power and physicality more than
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: higher level athleticism. He's nowhere near as long as Ion Young,
• 58:34
  Speaker 8: which you know that's a concern. But he's not an
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: explosive guy. He's kind of more measured and methodical. He's got,
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: you know, what I call a rugger, rugged and forceful demeanor.
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: He you know, he plays the way you want a
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: guy to play, and as a pass rusher, his foundation
• 58:48
  Speaker 8: would be speed to power, but he really doesn't have
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: a deep arsenal of moves and counter moves, so you
• 58:53
  Speaker 8: can teach that. But I see him a little more
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: as kind of that strong defensive end type, although he
• 58:59
  Speaker 8: did play a lot of five too at Illinois. So
• 59:02
  Speaker 8: it's very possible that teams that whose base is a
• 59:05
  Speaker 8: five to two will see him as a five to
• 59:07
  Speaker 8: two outside backer.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Is that basically a Seattle Is I always the Seattle
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: five to two?
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: No?
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, it feels like they have I mean, they
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: got the two linebackers.
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: You know, they look they do a lot of things obviously,
• 59:20
  Speaker 8: you know, yeah, all.
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: Right, they do a lot of things.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Derek Moore out of Michigan. We saw a lot of
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Michigan football the last few years. Hell, we still saw
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of Michigan basketball, if I'm not mistaken Greg,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: the last few days. Michigan. We live in Michigan's world.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: We're in Michigan's world. We're just living in it right now,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I think is what it is. But I do remember
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: what this is a guy I think with every college
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: football fan, every football fan knows the name Derek Moore
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: out of Michigan. He's he's ranked a little lower by most.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I think he probably is a second or third round
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: pick maybe, so definitely a Day two guy. But what
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: do you see from Derek Moore?
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: I liked him, and I saw him last summer too.
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: He's a strong age defender, His game is primarily strength
• 59:56
  Speaker 8: in power. Now he knows how to use his hands well,
• 59:59
  Speaker 8: and he's got long arms. I mean he's six four,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 8: two fifty five. His arm length is over thirty three inches.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 8: He knows how to use it in both the run
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 8: game and as a pass rusher. He really knows how
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: to place his hands, you know, without going into the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 8: weeds on that they teach you when you use your
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 8: first hand strike as a pass rusher, where to put
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 8: it on the offensive tackle. And he knows exactly where
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 8: to do that, and he can drive guys back into
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 8: the pocket. You know, I think he's a four to
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: three guy, but I think he could be another five
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 8: to two guy, if you know, if you see him
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 8: that way. But I liked his tape. I mean, I
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 8: think I think he's You're right, he's just a good player.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 8: He won't go in round one, but he could be
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 8: one of those guys that ends up, you know, in
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: two years, three years, we're talking about Derek Moore being
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 8: a starter somewhere.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this because we just got a couple
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: of minutes left. Analyst choice, Who do I need to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Who does Seahawk fans need to know? Is it I'm
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: just trying. I'm going through here.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: Is it Krafft further down the road?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Crawford from Auburn? Is it? Height from Texas Tech.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: He he fascinates me because he has not played.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Guy which one? Which one is that?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 8: And he he's a guy that to me will be
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 8: an as sending player because he now, you know, obviously
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 8: he played you know, off in opposite folk sometimes they
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 8: end up on the same side. But this kid, you're
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: talking about a kid, now that's juicy. I mean, this
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 8: kid's an athlete.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Which kid is that? We give you two names? I'm sorry, Greg,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: which which kid is that? Key run Cross from Auburn? Okay?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: Perfect?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's he's a sudden, twitchy athlete. He's got explosive
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: get off. He can instantly challenge the high side. I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 8: mean I think he needs, you know, he needs work
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 8: because he didn't play football until his senior season in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 8: high school and then started his career at Arkansas State.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 8: So I mean he's, you know, obviously hasn't played as
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: much football as most guys when they get to this level.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 8: But I think there's a lot there to develop. And
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: again I don't get to know these players. So I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 8: can't tell you how much he picks up or doesn't
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 8: pick up. But you know, if all signs in that
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 8: regard are really strong, it would not surprise me if
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 8: this guy in two years, three years, we are really
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 8: talking about it. Because he is a juicy guy.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: I like. I like the term juicy by the way,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: that sounds good.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 6: I like that.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: I'm getting thirsty actually thinking about that right now. You know,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: we got another we got another think we got another
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: sponsor called No Brewing. They have a big and juicy beer.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about that right now. What about Dennis Sutton
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: from Penn State? Do you like him?
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 8: I think he's more like Zion Young, you know. I
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 8: think he's a good, really good player.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: I think he's gotten a little better as a pass
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 8: rusher as he's progressed at Penn State, and he played
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: that extra year. He could have come out last year.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: But I think, but all said and done, he's not
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: a true pass rusher. So I think he's another one
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: of those sort of solid defensive ends, like if you
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: had a big time stud on the other side, and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: you know who could rush the quarterback and he played
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 8: on the other side. You know, he'll defend the run,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: he'll set the edge, he'll do all those things that
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: are obviously critical. But no one gets excited about your
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: fans I'm talking about. But you know he's a good
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 8: football player.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: That is great. Co Sal talking about edge rushers. Here,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Come back. Check your text four nine,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: four to five one. That is the Tacoma Dodge text line.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: Next from the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: Now back to Ian Furnez, powered by Seapple's Closest sports book.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: Snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: three point three kJ R FM.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: All right, check text one on four five one. That
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: would be the Tacoma Dodge text line, Anders, Tacoma Dodge.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Let's go here, we go to tank for Juju next
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: year talking w NBA draft. Okay, oh, she's she set
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: out the entire year, right, she did. Yeah with the
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: knee injury because she got hurt in the final four
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: last year. Correct. Yeah, he's a stead Yeah. It doesn't
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: say something about a league in a sport and the
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: third overall pick in the draft to describe as being
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: just Okay, I described Olivia Miles is just okay, I
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: mean she's I don't know. I will watched enough. It's
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: probably unfair of me. I just watched the UDUB game,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: the UB tournament game when they played the TCU. Okay,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: like Becker's juju jumped off the jumped off the screen
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: when you watched him play in college, Right, just jumped
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: off the screen in college. Angel kind of the same
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: way in a sense. Right, I mean that's absolutely right.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we'll see, we'll probably like I said, I'm
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: gona try to get somebody on tomorrow. Oh, let's see.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. What do we got here? Apparently MJ
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: said the other day Friday, I believe that if forget
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: the Sonics back, we should forgive them, that we should
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: forgive the thunder. Softy shared his thoughts, what about y'all.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: My thoughts are very ernest Jones, Like, if you think
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: I'll forgive you or forget twenty years no Sonics basketball,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: blank you, I'd go along those sentiments. Yeah, yeah, I.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: Don't.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: I thought I had a conversation with Mark on air
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: about in cross talk about the Thunder, but I don't.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think the term forgive was ever used. Yeah,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: I think he said, well, you just kind of ignore
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: move on. I go, well, I think it's an automatic rival,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: which I love. I honestly love that. Yeah, I said,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I've kind of left them. I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: just haven't really cared about them the last few years.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: The first year they went to the finals, I'll be
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: honest with you, I was stressed. Yeah, I was rooting
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: so hard against because that was literally like the team
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: the Sonics could have been in a few years. That's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: why yes, four years after Yes, last year, that's what
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: it's a totally different tea. You don't even care. Yeah,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: I just I mean, I'd rather them never win. I
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: wish they would go to eighty two every year. But
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: I long long since forgot about that. Not forgave anybody, No,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: I don't forgive anybody for that. I mean, we went
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: twenty years. We're gonna go We're gonna go a minimum
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: of twenty years without the NBA.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: I went my entire sports youth slash formative years without
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: an NBA team, Right, do.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: You think that will affect you how when the NBA
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: comes Sack.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 9: I would have been a massive fan and still would
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: have been and now I just don't really you've.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Got other interests, yeah, like because like just for for
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: people like Andrews is a big Premier League guy.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 9: Right, yep, I got soccer. I've been getting into NHL lately.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: You I'll give you credit. You not only have you
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: been getting into it, you've you've developed a pretty good
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: knowledge of it, Thank you, and a lot of strong
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: opinions about it. Oh yes, someone which drive me nuts.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: But but no, it's but you know what, like you've
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: you've got other stuff and you're a huge baseball guy.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: So I think it is an interesting thing because the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: NBA when it does come back, what well the you know,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: how how will it relate to the younger fans? And
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I say it from this standpoint, God, I gotta find this.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: There was a thing Dwight James texted yesterday, my buddy
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: Dwight down in Portland, and it was talking about one
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: of the one of the games last night. I mean
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: it was embarrassment. What was on the floor, like just
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: an absolute embarrassment. And I bring that up for this reason.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: In what way, like nobody was playing okay, like nobody
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: was playing. And I think because the first few years
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: the team's going to be bad. Like, understand that the
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: first few years the NBA team is not going to
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: be good, Like they're not going to be a Vegas
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: gold Knights to make the playoffs every year. They're not
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: even going to be the sadle cracking and make the
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: playoffs in the second year probably, Like it's probably going
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: to take a while. But I wonder how that's going
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: to play here with a younger fan base, because the
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: younger fan base would be enthralled with and I think
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of people would be would be like, hey, man,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: like I can't wait to watch X play or why play?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Or this guy play? Well if those guys are sitting
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: out games all the time, especially, think about this, this
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: is really doomsday thought, Hey, we're coming to Seattle. They're
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: four and twenty five this year. We don't have to
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: play our dues tonight, right, Yeah.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 9: Because the first couple of years, it'll definitely more be
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 9: about who they're playing against. I get to see some
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 9: of these NBA stars.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: And what if you spend a zillion dollars on ticket
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: and those guys aren't playing? Yeah? Right.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: I do like what they did this year though, and
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 9: made it a sixty five game minimum to be.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Eligible for awards.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and that kind of has made the oh I'm
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 9: gonna sit off because of a sora amstring kind of
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 9: stuff go away, because especially like the guys that really
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 9: want to be eligible for like MVP, Comeback Player of
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 9: the Year, all that stuff, you gotta play.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the way it goes. I'm just like,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: I can't find it.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 7: But it was.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: It was yesterday. It was like in the last year,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: see the last day of the Regulus season.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: I get it right, right, and we'll see I mean,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: I'll see that in hockey now too, if you look
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 9: at some of their lineups that they're putting out because
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 9: of teams that are either eliminated or already in the playoffs.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Right yeah, I mean, and but you see it for
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: the final game or two, right, like you see this
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: throughout the year in the NBA. Now, I was pointing
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: out something from yesterday. Sure, but yeah, man, I don't know,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: It just.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting thing you said there, though I hadn't
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: thought of it. In most regards to all the people
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: that are your age that grew up without it around here,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: are they just going to roll in and all of
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: a sudden be huge fans now and here's what so
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: my son is and he still follows the NBA now right, Yes,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: but I think that's because that was his sport. Like
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: he played it. You weren't a basketball kid now, and
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: like he played it a lot high school, au the
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: whole nine yards. I think maybe he was more in
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: tune with it. Yeah, and I but I think, but
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: not everybody is that. Like if you grew up and
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: you're a soccer guy, or you're a baseball guy, or
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: you're just you know whatever guy, you may not be
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: an entralled with.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 9: Well, in full disclosure, durined like the twenty tens, that
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 9: Steph Curry, you know, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, you know peak.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 9: I was a pretty big basketball fan. I was watching
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: the finals every year. I was like all in on that,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: the Warriors dynasty, the Scroers when they were like, I
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: just have lost the last like five or six years
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: I've lost.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be interesting. Playoffs start this week. I
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: love this time of the year. Yeah, when we got
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: the NBA and the NHL playoffs starting next weekend. I
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: think the NBA has a playing game the next couple
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: days too. But yep, yeah, when that gets going, would you, hey,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: would you be in favor of playing for the NHL
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: or not? No? Yeah, I think I don't. I would
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I think a bigger picture, but I
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: think and I don't want to be a hypocrite because
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: I said the same thing today. I you finish, if
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: you finish eighth, you shouldn't have to play a tenth
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: place team as a playing game. You finished eighth. That's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: I think the bigger question in the NHL was would
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: you go back to one one versus eight? I think
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: that as opposed to having like two teams that have
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: well over one hundred points playing Minnesota Dallas, those are
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: probably two of the three best teams in the league. Yeah,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: and they're playing each other in the first round, right,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: That is crazy to me. I mean, I guess the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: only thing and it usually works out most of the
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: time where the top eight teams usually get in.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Now the East could have a little bit different this
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: year the Eastern Conference NHL may that might not be
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: the case with the division.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, because there's a couple of really good East teams
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 9: that right west, they would have been in like all
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 9: that stuff.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: But if you went yeah, because you just mentioned it,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of an interesting thing. If if you
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: went with the one versus eight, you'd have Colorado versus
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: La Dallas versus Anaheim, Minnesota versus Edmonton, which makes a
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: ton of sense in Vegas in Utah. Although Vegas winning
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: the division, they might be the NFL like thing, and
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: they might be the two seeds. So I don't know that. Yeah,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: it's weird. Yeah, it's weird. The the NBA is interesting. Forgive,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think when I talked to Mark,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: he didn't use that word. Okay, so I will give
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: because I would say, no, forgive. I'm a petty You
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: have a very petty individual when it comes to the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: NBA and the sonics. Forgive is not in the vocabulary,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: not the repertoire. No, all right, let's take a preak.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll check in with Softy next. Already that,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, here he is.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 7: Softy Moller.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: The last time we were supposed to do this, it
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: was canceled because there was a fire alarm going up.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 13: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that would be very annoying.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: It's like the movie Dumb and Dumber, right, Oh yeah,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: the most annoying. Well, and that's and that's why we
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: were looking forward to doing cross talk because it would
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: have just sent you nuts.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 13: Well, we should do a contest here on the radio station. Okay,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 13: have the alarm go off and have somebody sit here
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 13: in the office and see how long they can take
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 13: it before their ear start.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 9: I thought you were going to go, how'd the alarm
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 9: go off for five minutes? Have softy talk for five minutes.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: And then just what's right out there? You go, Well,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: we were on there for eight minutes with an alarm
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: run off.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 13: But I've always said, and you know this, being the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: radio veteran that you are basically means you're old as
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 13: you are. Some of the greatest ratings in radio are
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 13: when your station's off your ear yes, and people tune
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 13: in and they hear dead air and they want to
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 13: know when you're coming back. It's unbelievable. I did that
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 13: driving home. Oh go what, because I bet you are numbers. Friday,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 13: We're through the roof, I'm listening. I'm listening to some
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 13: god awful show on Fox. Oh come on, And I
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 13: mean it's really bad and whatever whatever would be playing
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 13: if you weren't on.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: So I'm listened to that thing. I mean it was bad, dude,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you anyway, I'm listening to this and like,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: when's Softy coming on? And how is he going to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: handle this? Because You're right, I wasn't going to I
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: had to stop on the way home. I wasn't gonna
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: get out of the car. I want to hear what
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: happened when you came on and things weren't working.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 13: Yes, well, and then I was waiting to hear if
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 13: it was some kind of a human uh uh forced
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 13: malfunction like a Curtis crabtree, a scenario when Curtis spilled
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 13: a seven up on the old studio board die Coke,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 13: die Coke wor Donalds, a big one like the jumbo
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 13: size one.

  Speaker 1: H right, like the old Were you here when that happened? Enters?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: I literally that was like the second week that I
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: was here.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 13: And that cost the radio station like fifteen thousand dollars whatever,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 13: a lot of money.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Terry Ryan, God, what did you do here?
• 1:14:39

  Speaker 1: So the did the talk backed button here was stuck?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: That was stuck.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 13: Apparently something got stuck inside there. That was Thursday cross time.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 13: Now that was Thursday, so Thursday cross off. That was
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 13: back in the day we used to be able to
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 13: blame food from New York Vinny's beard. Yeah, getting caught
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 13: in the microphone and the old windscreen. Uh the old windscreen,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 13: Uh not like the one we have no one. Yeah,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 13: the foam one discussed that would cover the entire microphone.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 13: I would come on at seven o'clock at night, and
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 13: I kid you not, the thing was moist, moist, disgusting,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 13: all right. I mean just think of the guys that
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 13: were breathing into that all day long. My guest, you know,

  Speaker 13: back in the day, Michael Night was Brian Wheeler, was it?
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 13: I mean, dude, you could have a whole dinner plan
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 13: just based on what was inside that microphone.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Was that that was Night and Vinnie in the morning
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: or what it was?
• 1:15:33

  Speaker 13: fifty nine and go out the door at three oh one, which.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Is kind of what I do now. Yeah, I mean
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: I can't believe.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 13: Hey, way, No, I'm glad to hear that nothing blew up.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 13: You know that's good. I think we're all good. Big
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 13: Jen Raider truck outside the office.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sitting in here and we're waiting to go on,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: and like everyone's leaving right, And we've had this happen before.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: We had it happen on the other side, the same
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: building on the side either this is right before COVID
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: and I remember we walked in and Puck and I
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: would do the show. And Rich is like, he's like, oh,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: you guys are fine. No, it actually wasn't talking. Is
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: me and Shocky and me and Shaky's in the other rooms,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: him and I and things going off? Do we need
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: to leave? And Rich goes, no, you guys are fine.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Purpose she it's like, you guys are fine. Shocky looks
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: at me, I'm okay, we're fine. We're hanging out here.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: And then about ten minutes later, like like literally, a
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: fireman came upstairs, he goes, you guys need to leave.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 13: Well, you remember this building is cursed. Man, it's not
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 13: the first time it's happened. You guys probably watched the
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 13: Cheronoble series on HBO. Did you watch that, by the way, Yes,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 13: phenomenal series, fantastic. Right, So there's a there's a part
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 13: you're thinking there's a nuclear meltdown here. There's a part
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 13: of the series. And I don't know if this is
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 13: accurate or not. I assume there's a chance that it is.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 13: Where the Russian government, I guess, asked two people to
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 13: basically sacrifice their lives to go underneath the reactor and
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 13: dig a trench. And they knew that whoever those two
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 13: dues were was they were never going to make it out,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 13: and if they did make it out, they were going
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 13: to be, you know, basically done right within days.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: That's what you and Shocky were. That's what we were.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 13: We got to have two people stayed before we're going
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 13: to be here, all right, the end the place.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: And that's what I told, Okay, that's why I told
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Jim's sacrifice for it has some job. That's that's what
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: I was telling Jess. Jeff was like just like, we
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: gotta leave right now. I go, No, we're fine, We're
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: all good. She goes, They told us to go to
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: the north end of the building. This is the north end.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 13: When you hear about an electrical fire or whatever it was,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 13: I mean, there is a concern that the building is
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 13: going to blow, you know, like you hear about houses
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 13: having gas leaks.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: I found out. I found out today from.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 13: The fact that you guys were actually hanging outside the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 13: building as close as you were. Shock the hell out
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 13: of me, except I'm an Jimmy's I was more than
