  Speaker 2: in side of Hawk's Peak, where I'd normally at, So
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: head on up there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I mean that, honestly.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We got a lot of options, got a lot of
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: options tonight to go watch a game if you want
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to go out and about, and I would say hawks
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Peak with all the TVs sixty three plus in there
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and great food, would be one good place because you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you want to have probably an eye and a half
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: on Game seven and maybe half an eye on the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Seahawks until the other thing's over. Our friends at the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Queen Anne Beer Hall Man, they had a great parties
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: going on there for all their watch parties as well.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And yeah, but head on up there. Baseball's Best post
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: game Show immediately following the game tonight here on KJR
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: with Chuck and Bucky Jacobson, right after the game is over.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it's been it's been a weekend. We got more.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We got the lolly Wop guys coming up at one twenty,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and we're not really going to get into Seahawks stuff
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: much outside of the following big game. We talked about
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: co Sell on Friday. Deep is a massive test for
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the Texans. The issue you run into not issue, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the sense of urgency of you know, one of seventeen
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is that this division is damn good and the Rams
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: appear to be getting better even without Pooka.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yesterday they just rumbled and rolled and had an easy, easy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Time overseas against Jacksonville and Matt Stafford through five touchdown
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: passes and then somehow the forty nine ers and we're
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not gonna have time to have a lun done tomorrow
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: because we have another short show. But somehow the forty
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: nine ers just keep on winning, which is remarkable. Now
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Seattle may have its secondary intact. We could see Love
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and Witherspoon belt both back out there, which would be great.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's not the side of the ball that worries me.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: The side of the ball that worries me is the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: other side, and we talked about that with co Sell Friday.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Those edge rushers Abe Lucas has not been having a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: good season, and that's being kind. And Gokug's a lovey
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Abe to death, but it has been a struggle for
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: him this year for whatever reason. And it's weird. He's healthy,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: he should be fine, but that's gonna be tough. It's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: just it's a big challenge. I think the Yoks are
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: up to it, and I think they're one of the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: better teams in the NFL. But tonight will be another
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: little bromer, We'll another little litmus test. And you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: MJA and The Midday talked about it earlier. For whatever reason,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: home field advantage has just disappeared under Mike McDonald four
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and eight. I think the record is now since he
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: took over there. Okay, so I'm jotting some notes down,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and you know, lots a lot Obviously a lot of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: transpires since we were last on the air from Jimmy's on
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: first on Friday. We went off the here at three o'clock,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: right about first pitch of game six, Game five, sorry,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: game five, So we went off the air right about
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: first pitch, and obviously we know what happened Friday, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: there's been another game since then, so it's you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: there's like where do you start? And then I started
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: thinking about the magnitude of tonight and what it means.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And I was trying to make you know, I'm just
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: talking to people over the weekend, and and you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: people my age and have been Mariners fans literally since
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: day one, since nineteen seventy seven.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: That's a long ass time, man, it's a long time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And I think you know what this game, what this
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: one game means to so many people in our area,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: so many people in our community. It's hard to put
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: into words. I'm gonna try, but it's hard to put
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: into words. The magnitude of this game is such we
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: here in Seattle, I think a lot of times kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of feel slighted and.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Warranted or not. I don't know. The perception is reality,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and we feel a little slighted.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: We've put a lot of love and a lot of money, tickets,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: con sessions, whatever, but a lot of love, passion, time,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and energy into trying to love our baseball team that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: if we're being honest, for forty nine years, rarely ever
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: has shown that same love back, and not just with
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: wins and losses, but investing in.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Tea I think, but yet, what you're saying.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But investing in the not just not just wins and losses,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: but investing in the team, investing, you know, I mean
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: jumping ship and bailing on their regional sports network, laying
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: people off. There's a lot of things that have happened
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: off the field, but on the field, we've invested a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: lot too, and often more often than not, almost all
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the time, we've come away disappointed. And at the end
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of the year in every sport, only one fan base
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: comes away not disappointed. That's whoever wins a super Bowl,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: NBA title, Stanley Cup, or World Series, or in football
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: or college sports, whether it's March Matt you win the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: NCAA tournament, or you win the college football playoff. Every
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: other fan base is in some ways disappointed. But there
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: are different levels of disappointment. Losing but going further than
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you ever had before, that's fine, and that's good. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: what does this mean tonight? To erase that stigma that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: been in that stink frankly, that's been attached to this
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: franchise since nineteen seventy seven of quote and being the
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: only franchise I've ever been in, to the World Series,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to erase that would be huge. It's a burden off
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: everyone's shoulders, and it's also the joy that this team,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the joy that this team has given this community and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: this fan base is is like nothing I've ever seen.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And I you know, listen, I was in Portland when
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the Blazers were really good. I was in Salt Lake
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: when the Jazz went to the finals. And that's the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: only thing I can kind of compare it with is
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: when the Jazz went to the finals. I was there
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: for the last part of the first one and then
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the whole second year they went to the finals. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it's close to that because everyone is just like living
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on pins and needles with every game in a long series,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and it just seems like the ebbs and the flows
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and the ups and the downs and all the stress
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and involved with the series, they just come. You know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: they've fled you with emotions. You're exhausted at the end
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of a game. You're exhausted at the end of a series.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: The difference is this, the Jazz were really good for
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a long time leading up to those two.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Years, and.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: They they I mean the stock Them alone era with
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Jerry Salone as our coach, they're really good. And they
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: kind of felt like they were always in the cusp
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of it and there was a little less I think
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I think there's more of an acceptance of, hey, we
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: belong here. Merrira fans, I don't think you always believe
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: your team belongs where they are right now. They do, though,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: good lineup went out and the front office did everything
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: they could. They went out and got what they needed
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: to get. And so now it's on the players and
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson and his staff tonight to finish it off,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to get to the World Series. And then you take
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: your chances against what looks to be an absolute wagon
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and so be it. But what this game means tonight
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: for so many fans, whether you've been a fan for
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: one year, ten years, thirty years, or forty nine years,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't matter. What it means tonight is indescribable
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to this area. And the cool thing about it is,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and we've talked about this numerous times in this show,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the pride, the coming together for our community has really been.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: A fun thing. It watching the team support each other.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Well, that part's a different thing, but I'll get to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that in a second. The part that I like here
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: is this people that probably have very different beliefs. Maybe
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you were marching in a you know, no King's rally,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. Maybe you were completely opposed and disgusted by
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the thought of a No King's rally. You know what, though,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you might be sitting next to that same person at
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: te Mobile Park and you both are wearing a let's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: go win this effing thing right now t shirt from
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Simple Seattle. You're all on the same page. They bring
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: us together.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: This franchise is team, not the franchise.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: This team, this likable team with Julio and Cal and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: JP and the whole group, Nailer, gino, good vibes. Only
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: God could happen to a better guy on Friday, know
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: is the answer. Absolutely no is the answer. He's the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: best guy that could have done that. They've all brought
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: us together. I don't want it to end. I don't
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: want it to end for that reason. I don't want
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to go back to what we were before this. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: want this to continue where we're all Mariners fans. You know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: when the Canucks went to the Finals in twenty eleven,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: we were carrying the games here on the station. They
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: had a saying it's like we are all Canucks and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: it's been cool open with youtubo song. Yes weet has
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: no names, but it's like we are all Canucks, and
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I think what we are, we're all Mariners right now.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: And it's been fun. It's been really really cool. And yeah,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you Jess, you mentioned it. Yeah, seeing the other teams
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: come through, the Crack had just flat out troll Toronto.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That's what they did. They trolled them.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: They just they absolutely trolled them.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: They came in off the bus guys wearing If you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: missed it, on Saturday, Cracking played in Toronto. The Cracking
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: players get off the bus on the game for the game,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: all wearing jerseys. After the game, Laine Lambert wears a
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Mariner jersey and they ask him why and he says, because,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you know what, Josh Naylor supported us.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: He's wearing our jersey. We're boarding them. That's what we're doing. Yeah.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love that. And this is for players and coaches.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter because they're not worried about the business
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: side of sports. But the reality is this, all three
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: of those top teams, the three pro teams, three main
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: pro teams, all do respect the Sounders in the Storm.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Those three teams, they compete for corporate dollars, they compete
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: for advertising dollars, They compete for ticket dollars. But they're
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: all together. They understand. The boat rises with greatness all
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the way around. And the last time the Marriors went
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to the playoffs three years ago. That same year, both
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the Crack and the Seahawks went to the playoffs the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: last time as well. It's kind of fun when this happens.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: But I don't want this thing to end. I don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: want this thing to end. I don't want it to end. Tonight,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: My god.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Here it is on the nineteenth, no, sorry, the twentieth
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: of October, and we are still mollywopping. Who better to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: preview Game seven of the Alcs?
• 11:53

  Speaker 4: I was trying to think of the best way to

  Speaker 4: talk about this, and it feels like you're emotionally hedging
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: when I say something like, Man, I'm just so glad
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: that we get to be here in this moment, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited for our show. I think about how

  Speaker 4: far our show is coming in. Like you, you reference
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: all the time, the circumstances under which this show began,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: our little show, and it came in one of the
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: darkest moments for the organization, one of the darkest times
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: for my fandom, and a moment when I really contemplated
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: whether I could continue to be a Mariners fan, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: had nothing to do with winning and losing. It just
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: had to do with could I in good conscience as
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: somebody who has standards for myself, and how what the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: things I think that I can root for? Can I
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: continue to root for this team in good conscience? And
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: We've come so far now in so many ways, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I think it's really fitting and just very very special
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: that we're sitting here talking. In some ways, I'm almost
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: glad they lost last night because it would be a
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: great celebration today. But to be on the cusp here,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: all of us together, and to have this much hope,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: this much tension, this much just raw energy, and I
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: feel it. I'm sure you guys do too. Every single
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: place you go, every person you talk to, I don't
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: remember the last Actually I do.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I shouldn't use a cliche.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I remember exactly when the last time was when I
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: saw this many, this much Mariners stuff out in public,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: thirty years ago. That's what I remember. That's the feeling
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: that we've been chasing. If you're Chris's age or older,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Chris and I's age are older. This is the feeling
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: that we've been chasing, and it hasn't been being right,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: it hasn't been being proven smart. It's just been this
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: sense of possibility and the sense of no matter what
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: anybody else thinks about all the other stuff, because, like
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Ian you said, we are in a very divisive time
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: in our country, but everyone that you see is united
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: right now in one thing, and it's just the coolest
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: feeling in the world. And it's not that like, I'm
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: not gonna be devastated if they lose today. This is
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: not a failure. If they lose this game tonight, all
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: it is is an opportunity to keep telling this awesome story,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: a victory. Just keeps telling this amazing thing that's been
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: going on for the past month and a half, something
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: that we will remember for the rest of our lives,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: and that our children now Ian, you and I specifically,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: we have children that are of an age that have
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: never experienced this before. They are now getting that feeling
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: that you and I had thirty years ago, and in
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: thirty years they will be passing this down to their
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: kids and chasing this same feeling. I'm just overwhelmingly happy
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: and grateful to be here that said, let's go win
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: a damn ball game and get to the World Series.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Chris Crawford, Ah, boy, Vick, you sure all right?
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: It is unscripted because I have I have no idea
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: what to say, Like, I have no freaking clue.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: I was talking to Nathan before we started about how
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: I'm not nervous. I feel kind of good about this.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: I think it's more excitement than antic or anticipation than dread.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Oh the dread started kicking in about thirty seconds ago.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: I don't want this to end. I just don't want
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: this to end, and I never wanted to end. Every
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: time The Mary and Her season ends, I get sad.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: I get sad for my grandma. My grandma has nothing
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: to watch. She's all alone in her house and there
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: is nothing to watch. She tells me every day, what
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: the hell am I gonna watch when the Mariners end?
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: And I give her a list of programs, and she
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: just gives me this look on her face, like I
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: just offered my dog a piece of broccoli, Like, what
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: are you talking about? There's nothing interesting here. She wants
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: this to keep going so bad, and I wanted to
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: keep going so bad. For her, But I'll be selfish.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: I want this to keep going too. I want to
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: keep getting checks from Locked On. We get paid by game.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: I want to keep getting that money.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: Why I do want everyone to appreciate this because it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: a rare thing, and I think everyone knows it's where.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: It's literally the first Game seven in Seattle may in
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: her history. So you appreciate it from that, but appreciate
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: this moment that you're here right Like, remember where you
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: are from Game seven, even if it ends up being
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: an absolute disaster, Remember where you were because these are
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: those cognitive memories that you're going to one, especially if
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: you're fortunate enough to be watching a game with your
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: grandma or fortunate enough to watch with your kids, they're
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: fortunate to watch with your best friends, You'll always remember this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: No matter what happens tonight, you will always remember this.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: And no, it's not an excuse if they lose that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: I it's just a good memory. I'm gonna be pissed
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: off if they blow this. I'm gonna be pissed off.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: But I will always remember where I was for Game seven.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: I'll always remember where I was for and getting a
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: chance to talk about game seven on kJ R before
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: it is the coolest.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Frickin thing in the entire world. It's awesome. Let's go.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Did you download the Dodger podcast yet?
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, twice? Okay, but I have to listen to
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: all the Filipino podcast first. There's just let you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Finish basketball the Philippines with Cassidy Hubbers. Yes.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, I'm telling you. I think it's a sign. That's
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the first time I've heard that promo play. I think
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: it's a sign. The Chris, let me get to and Nate,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: You're right real quick, like it is wild how far.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: We've all come.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: And the wildest thing is when we first started doing this,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and even the first year we did, when we got
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to when we got pasted to Kevin mat apart and
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: we're just talking baseball, right, we were just those just
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: talking baseball. Then the World Series seems so far away,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: like even the year they went to the playoffs and
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: three years ago, it just felt so far away. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: and Chris, I'll start with you. Yeah, the fact that
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: we're you know, I'm not quite I know what Nate's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: saying about. It's kind of fun that we have a
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: game seven to talk about and all that today. It
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: would have been fun to be talking about Game one instead.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: But but I see what I see where I track
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: with what you're doing there. It is it is, there's
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a game something special. Never have a game seven in
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Seattle baseball history is something special.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: But Chris, as I.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Look at this game tonight, I have this calm about
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: me as telling names of earlier I just think Seattle's
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: better and seven game series and almost every sport it
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: seems like the best team always wins if it goes seven.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I think Seattle's better. Are they better? And why?
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I think that they are better?
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: In some ways, like I do believe that you know,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: as bad as George Kirby was in Game three and
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: as good as Shane Bieber was in his start, I
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: still think they have the pitching advantage there.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of faith in George Kirby. I
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: loved what I saw from him in Detroit.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I also think Dan Wilson also kind of let him
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: wear it a little bit in that last one. I
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: expect a much better effort from George Kirby this time.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: I think they have the better bullpen. I feel a
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: lot more confident in the arms that are coming in
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: after Kirby than I do the Blue Jays coming in
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: after Bieber. And I also just feel and if you're
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: in Toronto maybe you feel the exact same thing. There's
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: a bit of a team of destiny thing here that
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: you just kind of feel like it's supposed to be.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: And I felt like that, especially after they won Game
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: five against Detroit, like this is supposed to happen, but
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: it's not supposed to be easy. It's not supposed to
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: be it'd be kind of boring if it was. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: would take winning just all eleven games they would have
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: played this year. I would have taken it, and they
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: would have gone down as one of the greatest postseason
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: of all times.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Blah blah blah. I just feel like Seattle. Seattle has
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: something to them, that the players on this team have
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: something to them. Maybe they're not quite as talented of
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: an everyday lineup as Toronto is. Toronto's got some guys,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: but I do feel like that there's something to Seattle
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: on top of the pitching advantage. So they should win tonight.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: I absolutely believe that they should win tonight.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Nathan, You know, I was thinking about how nervous I
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: am and how nervous I know all of us are.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: And I keep thinking back to that fifth game in
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Detroit and how they let that dumb humpy fish win
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: his stupid race for the first time one hundred and
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: sixty five games in the fifteenth inning. And the thing
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: that stood out for me with that, by the way
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: they did it a second time, which was really dumb.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: But anyway, that's not either here nor there. What I
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: think back to is watching the guys in the dugout
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: when that fish won that race, get excited and start celebrating,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: and it's like these idiots aren't feeling the pressure even
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: a little bit. They're watching fish races in the fifteenth
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: inning of Game five of the Alds. There is a
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: mindset to them. They have that goldfish memory thing from
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Ted Lasso, where they there is no baggage from anything
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: that came before, and there should and that's good because
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: yesterday was probably the worst game they played as a
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: team in the entire postseason. They played a poor game
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: yesterday and all facets of the game. To answer your question, Ian,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: if I had to choose, I think if we're talking matchups,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: the specific way that the Toronto Blue Jays do. Offense
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: feels like it was designed in a laboratory to impact
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: the way that Seattle Mariners starting pitchers tried to go things,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: which is to pound the strike zone and limit walks.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't matter when a team is just allergic
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: to swinging and missing and won't swing anything off the plate,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: which is what this Blue Jays lineup feels like they
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: do one through nine. That said, the Mariners have an
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: ability that the Blue Jays don't quite have, and that
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: is to explode with home runs. And in that way,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: they are definitely a better team than Toronto. And when
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: the Mariners have one in this series, it has been
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: that way. It has been the big bang that has
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: happened at the right time. And that's a really boom
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: and bust experience, because like yesterday, you get the bases
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: loaded and you're like, here it comes, here comes that
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: explosion that just bears the opponent and they hit into
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: three double plays and it just doesn't work out. But
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I think that in some ways, the way that probabilities
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: work and the way that averages tend to work out
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: over time, the Mariners are going to keep giving themselves opportunities.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Today they've done it all seven games, and all it
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: takes when you have this kind of an offense is
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: one bad pitch. Thing I'm looking for in this game
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: and the thing I want to see I want to
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: see a first inning home run from somebody in the Mariners.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: I know that hasn't helped that much in this series
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: at this point, but I think, given the way the
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: environment is going to be in that stadium, if they
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: can seize control and get ahead by a couple of
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: runs early in the game with George Kirby going on
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: the hill, I just really like their chances.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I read, Yeah, I think the magnitude of the game
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: maybe earlier. Her home run doesn't matter. The home run
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: is is interesting one. We've talked about that on this show,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: mostly because I referenced my Weekly Business with Joe Shian, who, well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Chris is a baseball perspectus.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: What was his first what.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Was the he started baseball perspective?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, kind of the the the ground floor of
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the analytical world in a lot.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Of ways, and the new stats for baseball.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: And I remember when we had had the conversation back
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: in July about the Mariner's reliance on home runs on
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: On a Monday.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I remember the next day we asked, I asked Joe
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: about it, and he comes back and he says, listen,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: it's not that. It seems like it should be concerning,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: but it's not. And then he says, but if you
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, it's actually a positive. And he
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: brought up the numbers last week again, he said, you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the teams historically, now the Yankees were the exception this year,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: getting knocked out, you know, early. But he said that
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: the teams that have gone on and had success in
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: baseball playoffs have been teams that hit home runs because
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: it's harder to string together big innings.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Right that favorite.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Seattle does it not Chris like Seattle's offense and that
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: ability to explode, whereas if Toronto's going to string together
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: a bunch of hits, maybe you Can's that's where this deep, deep,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the deepest bullpend you'll ever have in the history of baseball,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: gives you an advantage tonight.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Right sure.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: And I think that the other thing that the Seattle
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Mariners have is to their advantage is one of the
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: reasons it's harder to string together hits in the postseason
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: is because you're seeing new pitchers come in all the time.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: You're seeing a new look. You are not seeing somebody
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: get the chance to wear it like George Kirby did
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: in Game three. It's still why it pisses me off
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: that George Kirby got the chance to wear it in
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: game three. But you're seeing a bunch of guys. And
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: here's the thing for Seattle, outside of Logan Gilbert, everyone
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: should be available for that bullpen. Everyone should be able
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: to give them a look. Brian Wu, Logan, Brian Wu,
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Luis Castillo, Bryce Miller on top of Kirby, on top
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: of a fresh Andres Munos, on top of a relatively
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: fresh Eduard bizarre O. Even throwing through two winnings, I
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: think he'll be fine for that game that matters. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: on the other side of that spectrum, Toronto has a
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: bunch of guys who can leave the ball in the
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: middle of the park and Seattle has some of the
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: best pop in the entire league.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it does matter.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: Because those solo ding dongs are going to matter an
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: awful lot in these types of games. Those chances to
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: hit those round trippers against pitchers who can give them up,
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: including Shane Bieber, who you saw Julio hit a two
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: run homer against in Game three. There is absolutely an
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: advantage to being able to hit the ball over the fence.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: It's why the Dodgers are going to be so scary
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: starting on Friday. But the Seattle Mariners have the advantage there,
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: and it's a great advantage to have Chris.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Let's just talk the arms and real fast again. So
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: it's Kirby and then it's whoever else. How much pressure
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: is on Dan Wilson tonight to make the right call.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: So much this is his I mean, this is his
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: biggest game. It's not even close. This is his biggest game.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: As you know, any type of member of the organization,
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: no one's ever faced this. But he's going to have
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: to be so impatient with pitchers tonight. You cannot wait
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: and see if George Kirby has it tonight. You cannot
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: wait and see if Brian wu if you bring him
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: in the game, has it. Same with Luis Castillo. You
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: gotta have guys getting ready. As those guys get in
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: the game, you have to You just simply cannot. You
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: cannot wait for Game eight. It doesn't exist. Dan Wilson
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: has to be impatient. If George Kirby looks great, sure,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: let him keep going for a little bit. But the
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: first sign of trouble from George, you've gotta be ready
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: to go to the bullpen. If I'm being completely honest
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: with you, this is my biggest concern is Dan Wilson.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: It's a first year manager making decisions like this.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: John Schnider's never done it either, and John Schneider has
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: not exactly shown.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: Ask Toronto fans how they feel about Brendan little pitching
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: to cal Rawley.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Go ahead and ask if they're big fans of what's
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: going on there as well. But this is my biggest concern.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: It's a first year manager who has shown a a
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: little bit of too much patience. I think with his
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: pitching at times he can't. Tonight, he flat out cannot.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Everybody has to be ready to go.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I gotta get to a break, Nathan, real quick. Do
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: you agree? Yeah?
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I'm terrified. I wrote before.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: I think in the middle of September the at some
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: point Dan Wilson in the playoffs was going to make
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: you crawl on your ceiling. And I just stand by that.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: And that's not even a shot at Dan necessarily. It's
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: just the stakes combined with the inexperience are just it's
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: gonna make your heart rate it about one hundred and
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: ninety beats per minute.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Matter what, imagine what his this? All right, We'll take

  Speaker 1: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast Studio. Now
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: back to Ian Furnesz powered by Seattle's Close to the Sports Book,

  Speaker 1: Snow Quality Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: point three kJ R FM.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I'm coming up on the Dave Softy Mall or Dig
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Fine Extravaganza to twenty.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Brent Burnt Boon will be with the boys and three.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: O'clock Hugh Mill and well football conversation. All right, we
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: do have a lineup, gentlemen. We have a little bit
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: of a change in the lineup, little tweak to the lineup.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: We'll be just bang through it real quick. Who will
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: leads off center? Field, cal catching hitting second. Naylor moves
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: up in the order, hitting third, playing at first base. Polocker,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: your DH is your cleanup hitter. A Rosarin is still
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: hitting five after getting dropped out of that top spot
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: left field, Gino third base, hit six, seventh is Crawford
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: at shortstop. Adding eighth is Reeve Boss at second, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Victor Roblaz takes Tom can Zone spot he is in
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: right field. Quick thought and eighth Chris on the on
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the lineup, Yes, no, good, bad.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the right thing to do.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: Not only has dominic Canzone been horrible with the bat,
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: there's just so much shaky moments with the glove. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: know Robla has made one mistake, but this is the
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: lineup that they should have put out.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Today, Nate.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't watch dominic Canzone run around in the
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: right field anymore. And that's not saying he's a useless
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: baseball player, just his uses are not in right field,
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: his uses with the bat, and it's not there in theory. Yes, yeah, right,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: like yeah, Well, Chris and I were talking off airy.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, if there's a high leverage spot with guys
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: in the right and you know, second and third and
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: a right handed pitcher on the mound. I can absolutely
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: see Canzone getting a pinch hit appearance and being mostly
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: okay with that. But he doesn't need to be playing
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: right field every single day, especially given the way that
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: he's hitting right now.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: It's just not a good fit.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I want to I want to keep the good vibes
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: only seam going to wrap things up here in the
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: last couple of minutes. Good vibes only, Baby, good vibes
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: only on the postcast, Chris and Anders do unsung heroes,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: unsung villains, all that stuff. Let's just give me, give me.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Mark brought this up earlier to me. But but Chris,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: who's the star tonight? Who's the reason? Give me the
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: guy that's the whether it's unsung or out of nowhere,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: is the reason. I mean, yeah, maybe Cal hit a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: home run, but but who's the Who's the guy tonight
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: that gets us to Friday.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Josh Naylor.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: I think Josh Naylor is gonna have a really big
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: game today, and he had a big game yesterday.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: He was one of the few. I think Josh Naylor
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: is going to be that guy.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: I think Josh Naylor gets a couple of hits, hits,
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: a home run, steals a key bag, doesn't make the
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: silly base running mistake that he made on Thursday.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: I think Josh Naylor will be that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Guy, Nathan.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: It would have been perfect on Friday if that would
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: have been a clincher, because Gino would go down in
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: all time, right, I mean the Grand Slam would have been, Yeah,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the all time greatest single moment in Mariner history, all
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: due respect to the double. That would have been it
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: if that would have been a clinching game. It wasn't,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: but it got is to where we are today in
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Game seven. So who is your guy? Who's the intangible
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: player of the undsung that's going to come out and
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: that next in ten years will say, Man, remember Game
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: seven and Blank did that?
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: I love that question.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: That's gonna be a I'm going to do the Alex
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Dias Memorial Award here and give it to my boy,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Leo Rivas. Speaking about making bad choices on the base paths,
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: he needs to not do that, which he's done a
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: couple of times in this series. But I will say
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: things I love about Leo. He's got a little bit
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: more pop than you think he does. He almost put
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: one out yesterday. He probably he has, next to JP Crawford,
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: the most consistent bats as far as knowing where the
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: strike zone is in the entire lineup, and he's definitely
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: their best defensive middle infielder on the roster right now.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: I'm loving He's already had his moment in the Alds
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: where he tied up that game in the fifteen marathon
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: that we had. But I think he's gonna smack a double.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna tie up the game in the
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: late innings for the Marins. He's gonna put it right
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: down the right field line in about the seventh. So
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: that's my call for an unsung hero.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: And that's what That's what Game sevens are about, though, guys,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: And that's why I bring it up like that's Game
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: sevens are about.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: This.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Game sevens are about a hero, and we're hoping the
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: hero is on the Seattle side. Obviously, that's what we're
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: hoping for. It's on the skip. But that's what a
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Game seven is for Seattle. Three to zero all time
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: in winner take all games, all those have been best
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: of fives. Game sevens a totally different beast. Chris final
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: words from you before you get your postcast tonight, which
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: is I'm expecting to be a very pleasant one with
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: you and Anderson Hurst. Some final thoughts heading into Game seven.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: I just I wanted to keep going, and I think
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: it will. I wanted to keep going, and I think
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: it will.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Nathan, I want to talk about, whenever this rite ends,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: about how many of you're going to rank the top
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: ten moments in Mariner's history. How many of them have
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: happened in the last three weeks. Yeah, I think that's
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: a conversation for another show because the story is not
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: finished yet. I'm just hoping we get another one of
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: them tonight.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: That game.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I have had more fun watching this team the last month.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: It has meant more to me as a sports fan
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: than any experience in my adult life. And it's not
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: even particularly close. It laps the field. So today, tomorrow,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: a week and a half, whenever it ends, I'm just
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: happy to be here.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: I'm having the absolute time of my life. I hope
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: that everybody listening finds somewhere to be with other people
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: to watch this game. Go somewhere and be among other
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: human beings. Do not watch this game by yourself. The
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: experience is so much better with other people. So that's it, man,
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: That's well said. Because I brought this up the other day.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I've watched more baseball with my wife in the last
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, and I've missed chunks of games. I
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: was on the road on Saturday in Portland. I was,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: you know, so Friday night, I was on the road,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: and you know, the krack and stuff.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I miss some.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: But I've watched more baseball with my son and even
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: my wife than I ever thought I would. She's become
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: a fan, and I think that's the best thing about this.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: And Nathan, what you said is true. I'll give you
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: some hints. Jimmy's on first. Where the boys will be today,
