• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a weekend in Seattle for Ms McIntyre and mister Benton
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: specifically out there grinding away in the clubhouse all day,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the two of you doing great work, both you and Michael,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: just out there gathering sound, shaking hands and schmoozing in
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse and talking to Dan Wilson and the whole crew.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Perry Hill ready to come back on the show. I heard,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: let's do it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: He said, hedd every day.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll call him right now. He might he
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: might be in route to Detroit. So, yeah, what a weekend.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I listen, We're gonna mollywop here in about ten minutes time,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes time with Nate and Chris. We've never had
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a Mauli wat Monday after a Mariner home victory in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, because it hasn't happened in twenty four years.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We all know that. Let me just start by, as
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we would say in the hockey world, a stick tap
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: all the way around to our sports fans in this city.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree with my friend David
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Maler for a moment. Dave and others like, oh, is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it a football town? A baseball town? What kind of town?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: We're a great sports town man. I'm just I don't.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think we have to differentiate. I don't even
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: care who has a bigger parade. If there's a parade,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care if it's a bigger It's all subjective.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's also subjective what I'm gonna say, But I believe
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it to be true. This is an incredible sports town.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: We've just been starving for success for so long now.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: First and foremost, the passion for the Seahawks is second
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to none in this town. I will definitively say that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it was a Seahawk city or Mariner city,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: or a Husky city, cracking whatever we want to say.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But there is passion for the Seahawks. City I think
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: is unrivaled, and part of it's just the NFL is
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a bigger it's a bigger beast than anything else in sports.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: These television numbers and things like that tell you that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: there is nothing in this country, nothing in this country,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: like the NFL. But let's just say that ninety percent
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of Mariner fans are also Seahawks fans and vice versa.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: The difference is is we've been starving, just starving for
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: baseball success for a long time. Just to had a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: little appetizer three years ago, an eighteen inning game. I mean,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: just think about this when they when Julio popped the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: one out of the ballpark on Saturday, it's the first
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: run we've scored at home. We they have scored at
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: home in twenty four years in a playoff game, like
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you're starving for anything. Disappointment on Saturday, for sure, to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: lose a game against a bullpen start really disappointing. But
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: all the pressure and all the pressure was on Seattle yesterday.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And one guy came through, Jorge Polanco, another guy came
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: through late, two guys cal double, Julio single or Julio double. Sorry,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go back to the fans having grown
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: up in this city and suffering through a lot of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: bad sports, like really bad and whether and honestly bad venues.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The Kingdome, God bless you, rest in peace. It was
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: our dump. But it was a dump. Cement cement ceiling.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It just tight seats. It just wasn't I mean, we
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: had that. The Seattle Center Coliseum was a converted exhibition hall,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: key arena. Was the biggest joke this city has ever
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: had until the last few years, like we haven't had
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a lot to be excited about or really be proud of.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But the NFL team won a Super Bowl and this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: place has never ever calmed down since. And then obviously
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the baseball team has had such a little success to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: just give us something. And boy do we see it
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: last night in the streets after the game. Obviously in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the ballpark, we were all there. It was awesome. Incredible atmosphere,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: phenomenal atmosphere. Everyone's standing on every second pitch, second two
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: strike pitch pitch. People. Stay, my kid was there right
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in front, right behind soft You have to as softy
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: about this later.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: He got those seats by the way, yeah he knows
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: people apparently. Meanwhile, you and I were sitting in the air.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I was sitting in the heat of here cafe behind
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the glass. But it was cool. I love being there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. He side note, I have to ask
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Softy about the fact there's a guy, old guy sitting
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: next to Keifer and his buddy Cody that had a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirate's head on and he was getting mad at
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: everybody was standing up around him. Dude, you need not
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to come back like Pittsburgh Pirate fan that's getting mad
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: because people are standing in the during the game. Don't ever, ever, ever,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: ever come back to tea mobile park.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: What that's like.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: A London NFL game where you just wear a random jersey?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I know, like, what are you doing? What are you
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: doing here? Anyway? The atmosphere last night was crazy, just crazy.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So football town, baseball town, Seahawks Town, Mariners town. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: don't care. I just thought that, man, we are are
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: fan based. Last night when they walked out of that
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: ballpark and all around the city. If you were at
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: home watching the game, it felt like this big cyber relief.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: You let off some steam. Maybe now the team like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you as a fan base, can we can relax and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: take care of what should be business, and that's going
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: deep into this postseason. They've split the first two games,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and they've done so remarkably, have done so with just
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: zero offense. The lineup has been not good except for
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: your superstars Julio and Cal with a little Jorge Polanco
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: chipping in yesterday doing something that was that is unheard of,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and that's two solo shots in the same game. Off
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: for the best picture in baseball. But what we saw
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: last night, to me was just awesome. Off the charts,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: cool atmosphere and like Jess, you've been here a long
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: time and you know, we've been working together for a
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: few years. So we've seen together All Star Week, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: All Star Week in Seattle for baseball, really cool, fun, festive, big,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: big event. We saw the outdoor hockey game, really cool,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: big event. But those were exhibitions, yes, well the hockey
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: game wasn't but for all intents and purposes, it kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of what it was. Yes last night was special. I'll
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: go back to the Seahawks. I had not I kind
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of took a year sabbatical from going to games in person,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and I'd say that. I'm not trying to be aloof
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: or anything, but having done it for so long with
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the cracking job, I just I didn't get to the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: press box. I didn't get to the stadium. Last year
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: kind of enjoyed my Sundays at home. I said, well,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: yesterday was a day I could double dip. I could
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: do Seahawks and Mariners. Perfect. We're blessed enough in our
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: business to have press passes, and so I did. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: took advantage of it yesterday. I'm the Seahawk crowd was
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: off the charts. As someone who's been to a lot
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of games, I thought the Seahawk crowd was off the charts.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Didn't help the defense. They were awful. Mike McDonald took
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: all responsibility after the game for it. But the Seahawks
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: crowd was crazy. It's Tampa. They're not going to travel
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: like others. So we didn't have the normal complaints on
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a Monday of oh my god, look at all the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: fans here from Tampa. That doesn't happen with the Bucks.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It wasn't San Francisco or Green Bay or Pittsburgh or
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: something like that. But you know, I mentioned my kid,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: he and his buddy they came down. I drove him
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: down there and they just hung out at the Hall
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and stuff, the Accental Hall, and were there for the game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: They were looking and trying to get tickets on the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Sect and near Mark because the game sold out obviously,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the getting price was still like well over one hundred dollars,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: so they stayed outside and watch, which is also a
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: tribute to our fan base. I think there's a lot also,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I think a ton of people double dipped yesterday because
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I stuck around a lot. Yeah, I stuck around for
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the postgame news conferences for the Seahawks, So I it
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: was a half hour after the Seahawk game left was
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: over that I actually started to make my way over
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to the ballpark and it was insane. The lines to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: get into T mobile were crazy long, and I'm looking
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: around like it felt like everyone or a good chunk
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of people left the Seahawks game and went to the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Mariner game.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: They just walked over.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good for you. It was awesome in that regard.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But I just just a tip of the cap. We
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: have great sports fans in this town. I don't want
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to hear otherwise, And the criticism for our fan bases
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: sometimes can come not because the fan bases aren't good
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: or passionate, it's because the teams haven't given them enough
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to cheer about over the last fifty years. And I'm
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: not just talking about the Mariners. Seahawks have e their
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: downs too, but the Seahws for the most part, have
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: been up, especially since you're not got there. You know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the Sonics had a lot of success over their years.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: The team didn't leave here because of the fans. They
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: left here because of politics and a building. That's why
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: they left and ownership. We have good sports fans here.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: We have great sports fans here, and I just want
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to just to kind of makes what we do for
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a living kind of cool thinking. You know what, There's
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out there, and not all
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: sixty eight thousand at Lumen and not all forty seven
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: thousand at Safe Tea Mo will listen to us by
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: any means. We all understand that, but I know a
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: lot of you do. And if you were there last night,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: kudos to you, because at both those stadiums, it was awesome.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: It was fun. And the Maryor's get a huge win,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: which we're gonna talk about with the mallywop guys, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: we again haven't never done this before, a malliwap Monday
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: after a Mariner home playoff win. I'm not sure how
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: they're going to handle it, especially Nathan Oh, he's gonna weep.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna enjoy it, every second of it. A
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: lot of it. Up date Joe she And at two
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: o'clock today a little after two hardcore football with Hugh
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Milling normally on a Monday, and I think we're going
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to push that to Tuesday because I had a list
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that was like three pages long of stuff watching the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: game yesterday to get to you with probably surprisingly more
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: on a couple of things on the offense. It will
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: surprise you. The mill Roll play, which is just a
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: head scratcher, a bad day for the coach, just bad day,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: like Milroe decision like why you're moving the ball seven
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: of eight Dartle was at the time, what are you
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: doing the play at the end, the interception. We'll get
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to that. Than everything on defense, which is really tough
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to watch yesterday, and we'll probably do hardcore football tomorrow
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: as well. So just a zillion things going on, but
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you know what, that's what you do when you have
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a great sports market. It's a big town. You have
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of things to talk about, no shortage of topics.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do that all today, mollywop.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Next it's Monday, then that means one thing. It's time
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to maliwah uncensored, unscripted and filled with the passion that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: all Marin his fans can relate to, and brought to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you by the company that's all about Seattle Sports, Simply Seattle.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Visit simply Seattle dot com for the best Mariners gear.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Now with the Moulliwatt boys, Nathan Bishop with the light
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: bet and Chris Crawford with my oh, why here's Ian Fernettes.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Well, we've never done this before. I don't really know
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: how to handle it, to be honest with you, it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: just a whole different vibe. So I think on days
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: like today it's important to discuss what we do and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Molliwattmunday began twenty twenty one, Is that right? Fellas twenty
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: twenty one, Spring of twenty twenty one, Thanks to our
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: friend Kevin Mather.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Thanks Kevin, and we.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Just on a whim recommendation. We needed some guys on
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to react to Mather deciding that he was going to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: go after and take shots at some guy named Julio
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez with that point had not even had a bat
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: at bat in the major leagues. And Ryan Divish and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: somebody else wasn't just div But if somebody else said, hey,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: this guy's good, this guy's good, they probably have some opinions.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Throw them on. So we put these two guys, Chris
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Crawford and Nathan Bishop on the air. Kevin Shocky was
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a producer at the time, and we talked about like
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: what are we doing here as a front office? Like
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: where are we? And that was a low point. If
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: for being honest, that was a low point. Show one
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: was a low point. Number one show was a low point.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: This might be the high point because the Mariners are
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in the Alds. They are tied one game apiece with
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the Detroit Tigers, and they just had their first home
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: playoff win. I learned this last night listening to the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Miners postcast with Chris Crawford Anderson Hurst. They just had
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: their first home playoff win in twenty four years. Saturday night,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: they scored their first playoff run in twenty four years.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And Boyle boy Let's go full circle. Why is that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: because the best offensive player of the first two games
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez, Kevin Mather, Julio Rodriguez. Here we are four
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: years later, four and a half years later, it does
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: come full circle. Julio Rodriguez is a pretty good baseball player,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and probably more so than anybody. And we could all
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: kind of do our heroes and unsung heroes and three stars.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Huio Rodriguez has been the difference so far in this series.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: How awesome is that? With that being said, that's my
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: opening statement. Nathan Bishop fire Away.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, you guys, I'm not built for this. But it
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: was after game one inning, the first inning of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: first game, I just took this deep breath and I
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: was like, oh my god, I can't believe that I've
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: got to get through eight more innings of this. And
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: then it's like the thing that I had forgotten because
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: you know, as you mentioned, it's been a minute since
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: we've done all of this, is trying to keep the
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: emotions in the bank for the next day because I'm
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: used to football playoffs, you know, where it's like you
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: have the game and we all go crazy and we
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: get exhausted and then we kind of take a deep breath,
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: and we have the week to recover. But no, there
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: was another game yesterday right after the first game. I'm
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: not ready to do this for and I'm not ready
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: to do this, and I also hope that it never
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: ever ends. I was lucky enough to be at that
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: game last night. I got to take my son, and man,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I got to tell you, just absolutely one of the
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: coolest experiences I have ever personally had as a sports
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: fan was being at that game last night to share
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: that experience. And it was absolutely the kind of way
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: that the Mariners would break through because the way the
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: Mariners have done this traditionally is they've got to make
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: it as hard as they possibly can. So of course
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: they didn't just go out there and boil them out.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: And of course they were facing Tarik' schoo well, the
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: very best pitcher alive. But man, just an absolutely incredible
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: experience just a few feet here and there from absolute disaster.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Being down zero to two in this series going to
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Detroit would have been so deflating. I would have only
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: had my dear sweet Washington Huskies from this past weekend
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: to kling too to keep me on life support after
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: just an incredible sports weekend in Seattle.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: But man, the number one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Takeaway I have is that I had forgotten what playoff
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: baseball felt like. I knew what it was like intellectually,
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: and I've watched a lot of exciting playoff games over
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: the years, but I forgot what it was like to
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: live and die with every pitch like this, And it
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: is everything that I thought I remembered it being and
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: a lot more.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: It's just an incredible experience.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: So just I'm still buzzing just talking about it gives
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: me goosebumps.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: It was an awesome experience yesterday.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I mean at that stadium, Chris, you had the opportunity
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: after a loss and then after a win on the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Manor's postcast with Andrews to kind of you had the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: highs and the low this weekend. Here we are on Monday,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: your opening thoughts.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: You know, And it's it's the same thing that the
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: highs and the lows are the same trepidation that you have.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Like I'm glad Nathan said it, because I'm not built
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: for this either, Like this is so hard baseball. Playoff
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: baseball is so different than anything else. And I know
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: playoff hockey is crazy, but playoff hockey, at least there's
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: something constantly happening where your mind is still crazy.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: But you know you can't think.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: But if you're someone like me who has an inner
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: monologue and is always nervous about stuff like that, oh,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: playoff baseball is just the worst. It's just the absolute worst.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: It's also the absolute best.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: By the way, I apologize for missing last week's show.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: I'm so sorry, guys. I told them it was because
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: my phone was dead. It was actually I was hammering
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: ole miss minus thirty two point five this week.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Sorry, we do OK.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: There he is, Tippy Waiter, There we are.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: I'm Craig Elow this week you should you should appreciate
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: at that religion, Craig e though, you know what my
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: favorite part about this weekend was, other than you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: they should be up to a Let's just be honest.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: They should be up to well right now.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: If you play a better baseball game on Saturday, you're
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: up to when you're feeling a heck of a lot better.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: But the reason why.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: You're tied in this series are three guys that won
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: that everyone seems to have a strong opinion about, and
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: a lot of them towards the negative in Julio Rodriguez,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: a guy everyone wanted to trade in Luis Castillo and
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: a guy everyone.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Was furious they brought back in JORGEE. Polanco.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: That's the reason why. That's the reason why. And that's awesome,
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: that's really really cool. And I don't blame anyone for
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: their opinions on wanting to not have Hoe Polanco to
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: begin the year because he was terrible last year. He
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: was ten pounds of crap in a five pound bag.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: Anders if you're listening, I gave you one. He wasn't
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: this year, and he was so fantastic against the best
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: pitcher in the American League. Man, though I can't help
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: but think you play a better baseball game, you're up
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: to zero. I can't help but think about that either.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: But how different it is to win Sunday compared to
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: if they win Saturday and lose Sunday. The difference that
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: you feel there, right, the difference that you feel. But no,
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: you've beaten the best picture three times this year and
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: there's a very good chance you're going to have to
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: beat him a fourth. This is awesome, But also I
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: am just going to be an absolute wreck for the
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: rest of this week, so please just win Tuesday and
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Wednesday so we can bring on the Blue Jays.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's Chris Crawford, Nathan Bishop. It's a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Maliwat Monday, brought to you by our good friends. It's
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Simply Seattle, Simply Sattle. Come by the way, I saw
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: all kinds of Simply Seattle slash KJR little plackers out
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: there all over the place at the stadium, in stadium
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: outside of the stay and really cool deal. Let's go
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: win this thing. Curtsey of Cal also on a T shirt.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: You can buy that simply Sail dot com mo. We
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: want fifteen to check out for that T shirt. There's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of different storylines to get to. I definitely
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: want to get to Dan Wilson Saturday night. I definitely
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: want to get to the starting pitching as a whole
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: used to the bullpen. Let's just go Chris, go back
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: to jump on the Polanko thing for a second. Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Like they signed him with great fanfare two years ago.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: He comes in, he's hurt all year, he just was.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: He was awful. They let him walk. No one batter
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: an I. But at the same time, for a long
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: time there was like, okay, no replacement for him, like
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: what they could do? And then they bring him back
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: on a relative a very team friendly I guess in
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: today's baseball contract, right, no one's excited. As the year
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: goes on and on and on, we kind of see
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the real ho heey Polonko. But for him to hit
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: what was it to Treek's two Terrek school Scooba sliders
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: out of the ballpark, which has not happened ever in
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: one game, It's only happened twenty times ever, or whatever
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the hell it is, like, kudos to that guy. Kind
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of cool little bounce back story, redemption story for Jrae Polanco,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And I think he's one of those guys you can
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: make an argument with. If he wasn't on the roster
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: this year, we wouldn't even talking baseball right now.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Oh no, absolutely not.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: He has been, outside of one bad month, the second
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: best hitter on the Seattle Mariners. And the only reason
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: we're saying second is because the guy who should win
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: MVT was that good this year.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: He was phenomenal.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: And the crazy thing I keep thinking about, too, is
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: he hits both those homers from the right side, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: I keep thinking back to the fact that there was
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: a time when this guy literally couldn't swing the bat
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: from the right side for a large portion of this
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: year because of the hip injury.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: But he's been so.
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: Fantastic against left handed pitching this year. It's just a
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: really cool story. It's awesome to see redemption and awesome
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: to see him play at the level that he's played
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: out before. You know, this is one of his better seasons,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: to be sure, But this is a guy who's had
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: ops is above eight hundred. He's a guy who has
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: put up seasons where he's hit thirty three homers. The
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: twenty six homers he hits this year, second career, second
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: in his career in terms of high but like, it's
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: just awesome to see that type of redemption story. And
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: I think you have to give a ton of credit
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: to the Mariners. The other thing is, and we talked
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: about this on the postcast, the two teams that were
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: rumored to sign Jorge Polanco all winter long, where the
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Houston Astros and the New York Yankees, And ultimately, because
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: of the Kyle Tucker trade and getting Esac Paradis, the
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: Houston Astros will lose interest.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: And I don't really remember what happened with the Yankees.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: But thank god, thank god those teams don't bring him
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: in because the Seattle Mariners are in a world of
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: hurt without Jorge Poloco and seeing him be the hero, well,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: there was another hero too, but seeing him be one
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: of the heroes Sunday night was pretty damn.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go down that road the other hero, Nathan, I'll
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: bring We'll get to you first on that. Julio Rodriguez.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: You've been very outspoken in your praise and your support
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: of him others, as you said, and Chris brought this up. Yeah,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: he's the guy that for some reason people whatever the
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: lightning listen. I understand the reason, probably as much as anything.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: It's our slow starts. Like he just is, Like he
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: shows up June first, or sometime mid June or early July.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's when he shows up every year to play Major
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: League Baseball if he ever decided he wanted to play
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: an entire season, like at even an average level. Right,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: just like average level. Maybe people up numbers that are
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: unheard of for this organization and in football. But Nathan,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: to see Julio Rodriguez, I know where you guys were
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: sitting you and your son yesterday when he laced that
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: one down the left field line, what was it?
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Like, I mean, we were on we were right down
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: the right field line, so it was happening on the
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: other side of the stadium from where we were, and
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: he hit it and because of where we were sitting,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: you couldn't tell if it was fair. So like you
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: have everybody on the other side of the stadium instantly
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: going nuts, where everybody on our side of the stadium
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: is inhaling and holding their breath, just glaring at that
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: third base umpire and looking for the fair sign. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: as soon as he did that, it was just an explosion.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: And it's the timing was so important too, because you
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: know this happens right when it's just like, oh, bleep,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: the Mariner's just Mariner, Like Matt Brash comes in, doesn't
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: have good command, Josh Naylor boots a ball, they give
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: up this late. They had worked, so they had a
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: two nothing lead over the best pitcher in baseball in
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: the playoffs, and they kicked it away. And that's being
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: a Mariners fan is always having that in the back
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: of your head, and then when that happens, you're like,
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: that's it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: That's the Mariners.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: We've all been living in a simulation for the last month,
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: but now they're back and they're gonna screw this up
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: and they're gonna lose. And so for the two best
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: players on this team to immediately respond with doubles, which
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: the cow one came right towards us, was so affirming
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: and reminded me of how I felt for the past
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: three and four weeks, which is that I'm not afraid
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: with this team anymore.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: They don't do the Mariner thing anymore.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: The Dragons are being slayed day in and day out
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: with this organization, and you're right in for Julio to
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: be the guy to carry that vanguard, and for him
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: to show out in these first two games. I don't
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: have a postgame show where I can just talk to
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: everybody after every single game because I'm not a big deal.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: But after that game one, that home run that he
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: hit was so special. That was a great pitch that
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: he hit out. That was a fastball writing in on
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: the hands right underneath his hands. It was high enough
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: that at worst it should have gotten poor contact out
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: of Julio, and maybe he bleeds a single to hit
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: that ball out. To right center field. There's just you know,
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: there's maybe ten players in baseball that can put that
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: swing on that particular pitch. That was such special stuff
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: and the thing that I can't get over with Julio.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: And this is what drove drives me crazy when people
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: nobody authentically dislikes Julio Rodriguez, Nobody authentically thinks that he's bad.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: If you're doing that, it's because you're trying to create
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: a narrative and you're trying to build something that's not real.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: There.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: You can't watch this guy play baseball day in and
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: day out and talk about sports, or work in sports,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: or think about sports for a living and come away
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: with any other conclusion that not only is this guy
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: a fabulous baseball player. Slow starts included, because what's not
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: starting slow is that defense in center field right. He
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: loves it here.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know why.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: It doesn't make any sense to me, but he loves
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: being a Seattle Mariner, earnestly loves being here. I don't
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: understand how you could not it just you have to
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: be so cynical and so dead inside. And as a cynical,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: dead inside person, even I can't get to that with
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Julio Rodriguez. He is so deserving of the shine that
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: he's gotten the last two games, like this season will
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: always be the season of Cal Rawley full stop. I
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: hope he wins the American League MVP. But if this
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: playoffs wants to be the Playoffs of Julio Rodriguez and
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: start building his own legend, which in my opinion is
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: already well crafted, man, that'd just be a really exciting
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: well Chris.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: On Friday, we did a round table with all the hosts,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: and one of the things I said about this year,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: what I was, obviously you want the team to win.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: My biggest hope going into the playoffs this year is
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that the rest of the country would see Julio Rodriguez. Yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the smile, the enthusiasm, the elite defensive play in center field,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and then the ability what Nathan said, to hit a
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: pitch out that five or ten people maybe Max can
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: do in the world, and to do special things. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: then what I really hope, Chris is I'm hoping, like God,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Julio come through in a big situation, like shut people
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: up once and for all, but come through in a
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: big situation and then get to first second or base
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: or a home run of the time and show that
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: million dollar smile, that electric personality, that enthusiasm dream come true.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: He did that last night, Yeah, he sure did.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: And we talked about this again on the postcast that
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: the it's infectious because like it wasn't just when he
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: gets to second base on that double, which was another
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: piece of terrific piece of hitting, lining that ball over
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: the over the third basement's head.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: That the fist pump.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: That's not a fist pump because I did something that's
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: a fist pump because I'm so happy for the people
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: around me. I'm so happy for my team. Look at
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: how pumped up that guy was. But the the infectious
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: smile thing, watch ju Leohanda tried into Polanco the second time.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: There is a smile that is from like on this
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: on our post our stream thing. It's from here to
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: hear it's it's a gushing smile. This guy cares so
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: much and wants to win so freaking badly that when
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: I see no one's above criticism.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Every player can be criticized.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: I can criticize Jan Soda for his defense, I can
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: criticize show Heyo Tani.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I'm sure I can think of something, can't. It's every player.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: Can be criticized, right, but it goes beyond the pale.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: With Julio Rodriguez. It gets ridiculous sometimes when all that
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: guy is doing is helping you win baseball games and
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: wanting to win as much as any Seattle Mariner I
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: can ever remember seeing him come up huge, It's easy
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: to forget that line drive, opposite field hit that ties
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: that game on Saturday too. Like without Julio Rodriguez, the
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Seattle Mariners are well, you know what, and far from home.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: And I want people to start appreciating just how good
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: of a freaking baseball player he is. And maybe this
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: is what it's gonna do. Maybe this postseason it was
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: put it over the edge.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think people here, if they haven't yet, they have,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: but I think nationwide. I just it's it's, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: baseball needs stars, they need young stars, They need guys
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: that you can they can, they can get people excited
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: about the sport, and he has that opportunity in this
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: postseason to do that. I just I think back to
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: when was it last Wednesday? Yeah, last Wednesday, the last
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: cracking preseason game, and the Mariners had a couple of sweets.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I think, a cracking game, a couple of sweets, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the most of the team was there. And then second
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: oar mission, we look down. There's you know, the zamboni's
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: are going around. There's a guy on zamboni with his
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: camera and waving to it's who on the place was
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: going bananas like and and he just probably has no
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: idea what a zamboni is. And yet the guy looked
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: like he was having more fun than anybody in the rink.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Like it was just just childlike, but in a good way.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying immature, just he just has that around
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: him and it's it's fun. All right, come back, let's
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: do this. Let's preview the next couple of games. We'll
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: talk about pitching decisions, rotations and what they have and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: what you guys think of that. And we're all trying
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: to arms around this home playoff win. Happened, guys, believe

  Speaker 2: She's going to join us at two o'clock. Chris Joe
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: wrote a story about how Dan Wilson learned his lesson.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Did Dan Wilson learn a lesson?
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: I hope, so, I really hope.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: So.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: I was just talking to Nathan off the air about
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: this that when Wilson did not bring in Fergus Interspire
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: to pitch to Kerry Carpenter to end the fifth thing,
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: I thought nothing of it, nothing of it whatsoever? I mean,
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: you start is pitching? Well, yeah, he's facing him for
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: the third time. But I just did think anything of
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: it when I saw a reliever take over for George
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Kirby in the next inning. I don't know if I've
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: ever yelled as loud as and I've yelled, folks. There
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: are remotes that are broken in this house from having
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: Mariner fits. He got punked Saturday. He absolutely got punked
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: Saturday by aj Hinch.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: He was a good manager.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Good I know, people have their thoughts and they're deserve it,
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: and he didn't get punished enough. But he's a good manager.
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: I like the way he managed Sunday's game a heck
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: of a lot better, and I.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Think he he's growing.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: And that's the thing about having a manager who is
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: essentially in his first year, right He's growing, he's learning,
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: he's adapting. It sucks that a mistake that he made
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: on Saturday cost him very dearly, because the tactical mistakes
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: you make in the postseason, and this is a super
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: obvious point, matters so much more than they do in
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: the regular season. But it's good that he learned from
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: that mistake. It's good that he went to the reliever
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: in the perfect situation there by the way, shout out
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: to Luis Castillo. He pitched really, really well and held
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: it together even when he didn't have his best command.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: Shutting out a lineup is an impressive thing to do.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: But I'm hoping Dan Wilson learned from that mistake for sure.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Nathan, did you like the rotation going with Kirby and
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: then the Rock followed by Logan Gilbert Tomorrow in Game three?
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: No?
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Not really, But.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: You know, I think when you deal with the Mariner's
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: rotation that is as deep as it typically is, this
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: not necessarily that you're making an obvious bad choice. As
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: opposed to a good choice, it's just not what I
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: would consider to be the best choice. I think that
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: Logan Gilbert is one of the Marina's two best healthy
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: starting pitchers, and I would have thrown him in game
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: one or Game two. But to Chris's point, it looked
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: like it was going to be really bad for Luis
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: in Game two. I was looking at that game and
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: his pitch count I think was at fifty one, and
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: then he went out there and got a nine pitch
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: inning in the third inning and locked in and gave
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: this team exactly what they needed four and two thirds
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: scoreless innings. And Chris's point, Dan Wilson could well and
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: two it was really helpful for baseball to recreate the
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: exact same circumstances for Dan. It was like it was
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: like Fate was just taking a hammer and batching him
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: over the head and saying, look, learn this lesson, which
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: he did, which was great. But no, I think that
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: I think I would have put Logan a game two.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: But the way that it worked out, you guys, is
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: working out great because Chris and I, again talking off
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: air over the break, this game three is so big,
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: and Logan Gilbert can absolutely tear through this lineup if
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: he has his good stuff. So this is a game
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: that will heavily favor the Mariners in my opinion, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: having Logan Gilbert on the hill is a huge part
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: of the reason.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Why Gilbert and Gilbert goes against Flaherty tomorrow and then
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Mys goes for Detroit Wednesday. We think maybe Bryce Miller, right,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: so we'll be the starter in that game. We know
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Wu won't be because he's not on the list, right, Chris,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: So what do we know about Flaherty? What needs to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: happen tomorrow?
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Flarerity has had some success in the postseason, and you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: I do think that matters. It's not like a massive
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: sample size, but he's had some success. But he's a
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: guy who can give up the long ball. He's a
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: guy who can leave pitches over the middle of the plate,
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: and the marriage should be able to take advantage of it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: They've had some success against Flaherty in the past as well.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: It's neither of these are scary, like Casey myis going
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: for them in Game four. It would have been a
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: little scary post All Star Break or excuse me, pre
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: All Star break. Casey weis because he was a literal
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: All Star. It's not been the same pitcher, and the
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Tigers have very little trust in him right now. He
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: only went three and a third innings or three and
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: two thirds innings, excuse me, in the wild card round there.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: Neither of these guys should scare you. The scariest thing
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: to me is Bryce Miller, because assuming that's a traditional
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: start for Bryce Miller, Miller's just not the same pitcher
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: as he was last year, and it's not because of
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: anything but injury entirely.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: It's due to injury.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: He was one of the very best starters in Major
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: League Baseball in the second half of last year.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: That's the scariest part to me.
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: And I think you've got to have Kirby ready to go,
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: especially if god forbid, they lose Game three. You've got
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: to have all hands on deck for Game four. It
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: cannot be something where you see how Bryce Miller feels.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: It cannot be You have to have everybody ready to
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: go for Game four in that situation. Hopefully they win
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Game three and Miller gives you five innings of two
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: run baseball, even four innings of two run baseball, something
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: along those lines, and you can take care of business.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: But that's the scariest thing to me is I have
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: no idea what Bryce Miller's gonna give me at the best,
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: and at the worst, I have a pretty good idea
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: what Bryce Miller's gonna give me, and it's not good enough.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: I know we were just talking about pitching, and I
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: don't like making big predictions or anything, but just the
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: way I'm feeling going into this, I think this offense
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: is gonna break out in the next two games. I
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: think that we're gonna see plus runs and at least
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: one of these games and full and at least four
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: in the other one. I just think that the way
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: that this lineup can lean on any pitching that's not excellent.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: I know we didn't see it in Game one, that
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: was kind of a weird off day for them, where
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: everybody besides col Calin Julio went hitless, But it looked
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: a lot better yesterday against Schoogle, and I just think
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: they're going to lean on a couple guys who just
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: aren't that great of starting pitchers.
• 38:23

  Speaker 2: right now joshin dot Com the Joshian Newsletter. As we
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: are in the heart of the ALDS American League Divisional Series.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Same with the NLDS as well. Hello, Joe, how are
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: you talking?
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: Mariners playoff baseball? How exciting is this?
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: October sixth? My friend, this is a record, the latest
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: we've ever had Joe Sheen on the show October sixth,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: two thousand and twenty five. And it's a glorious thing,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: my friend, it really is. Uh hey, you know what
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna table the Mariners for just a heartbeat,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: just for a second, because we just finished with the
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Armali up guys, with Chris and Nathan. I'm going to
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: get right back to them, because you know you wrote
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: about Dan Wilson. Let me just ask you this. I
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: believe as we're speaking, you might be somewhere in the
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Big Apple. Is that correct?
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, I lived just outside the city.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: How are things going there after what happened?
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: I think I think if Aaron Boone were to lose
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: the World Series four to three, because Aliens came down
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: and a home run for the other team, there would
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: be people just looking at the fire, Aaron Boone. So
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: the fact that they got obliterated in two games where
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: there were no managerial business to make is not helping
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: him at all. I look at a team that had
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: tied for the best record in baseball should be tacked
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: for the best record in the al this year, you
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: lost the division on of tie breaker and then went
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: out at two horrible games. But you know, you look
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: at who played poorly in those games. Max Freed got blasted,
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: Aaron Judge. Yeah, in the in the on the stat sheet,
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: it's four for seven with some walks, but you actually
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: looked at it and he was He had the big
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: at fat in Game one where he struck out on
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: a three to two pitch from Kevin Galistman with the
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: basis loaded. That was nowhere near it. I don't know
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: how you pin these things on iron booth.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Is that series? Is it over? I mean, I know,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: statistically two all short series? Yes? Is the answer? Is
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: there a way the Yankees can bounce back? Are we
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: destined to see Toronto in the ALCS?
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: No? I mean, I mean he did. This was eight
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: years ago against the Guardians than the Indians. They came
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: fell down to oh to one. It's not impossible. I
• 43:28
  Speaker 8: want to say the historically, something will take twelve percent
• 43:31
  Speaker 8: chance if you fall behind two to zero and the
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: best of five. So yeah, it doesn't look good. They've
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: got the better pitching matchup tonight with Radne against Shane Bieber.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: It was only made seven starts obviously was acquired from
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: the Guardians after a long career with them. I do
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: think the advantage goes to the eightist tonight and then
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: you win tonight. Now it's two to one series. We'll
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: see what the Guardian, what the James do here? Gusman
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: only threw I want to say, seventy pitches on Saturday,
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: and of course we start Trey. Yesivage looks so great yesterday.
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: You wonder if they won't bring those guys back for
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: games four, games five. So we'll see what happens to
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: limber the Guardians. Jays left Jusie Barius has heard ex
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: Suerzer and shape and to the Chris Backs that were
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: left off the off the roster. That's seventy starts for
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: them this year that are available. So whether it's a
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: Bolton game or Gasman on short rest in Game four,
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: Yakes might have an advantage there as well, bringing back
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: Cam Schunder who was so good last week. I don't
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: think this series is over, but obviously you know the
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: Jays are the position he's like to be in.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Well, well, that series eleven runs on Saturday, the ten
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: to one Blue Jays win, and then the twenty runs yesterday.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: You know what thirty or twenty plus runs combined in
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: these two games. Meanwhile, Seattle and Detroit have played two
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: three to two games, both teams splitting. We'll get to
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson's managerial decisions, but games one and two a
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: split for Detroit. I would think Detroit feels okay about that,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: even though Schooble lost a game, probably hope to get
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: a two zero lead, but going back home one to one, Seattle,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Salvage's one get to win over Schooble, even though he
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: wasn't in the decision. Overall assessment of what you saw
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: in those first two.
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: I think the expectation with schoobl pitching one of the
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: games was one to one. Of course, the Tigers and
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: you steal game one, you really would like to come
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: back and go home two. Oh, so the pitching matchups
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: don't really favor with them. Over the next couple of
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: days they are home. It's now best the three where
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: you have the home field advantage. You and I have
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: been talking all year about the Mariners home road split.
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: That is really noise and I don't think it's going
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: to be a big factor here. I still think the
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: Mariners are considerably better team. I said Mariners in three.
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: I don't want to get too deep into the weeds
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: with the numbers here, but I don't like the chances
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: of that happening anymore. But I do still think the
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: Mariners are the driver seat to win the series.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see me think one one, Game three is tomorrow. Yeah,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: I think you're right, Joe. I think I'm not the
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: analytics and numbers guy, but I think you're right. I
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: don't think they're going to win it in three. I
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: think it might take four for somebody to win. But
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: that's you.
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: I know you have the stars on the show. Please
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: check that, check us. Check my back with him.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: It's going at least four, maybe it'll go five, Joe.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Let me the hitting for both teams has been suspect,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: and you know, but our guy, Julio Rodriguez came through
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. A lot of us here are really
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: excited about that. I said before the playoffs started on
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: a show we did on Friday with all of us
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: here at the station, I want the nation to see
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: this guy. I want the nation to see what he's
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: all about. I'm so glad he came through. And then
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: of course yesterday gets the game winning hit. But isn't
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: this the time of you want to see your superstar shine.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: But what'd you see from Juli over the weekend?
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Again?
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: Really good contact on the homer, the double one on
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: Saturday as well. She's did a double law last night
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: as well. So you know, he looks good. He looked
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: a little like staying back a little better. I will
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: say that. You know, I'm with you. Cal Rally got
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: a lot of the national attention this year, go back
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: to the All Star break at the home run derby.
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: But to me, you know, Julio Rodriguez is still the
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: center of this team and it would be great to
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: see him get some shine to him have a deep
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: October run if people get to recognized with you and
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: I have been saying about what this type of what
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: this player is for a few years now, so yeah,
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: hopefully he plays well, he shows out again. He's off
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: through a great start in the series. Didn't love there
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: was not that late and I guess was maybe the
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: ninth of the tenth on Saturday and look that great.
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: But by and large, you know he's been playing well.
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: So you take what you get there. I nothing against
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: the Tigers, and I don't want this to be like,
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: oh ANTHI Tigers hasn't got Riley Green and they've got
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: your ex school ball and they've got guys she would
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: you wouldn't want to You would like to continue to
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: watching as well. But I do think the Mariners advancing
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: would give a profile to a lot of guys that
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: you know, by and large, casual baseball fans haven't seen
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: very much of. You look at Revenuez, you look at
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: Logan Gilbert, you look at the back end of that bullpen.
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of stark star talent on this team.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Joshian Jonas Joshian dot Com, The Joshian Newsletter. All right,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: you wrote about it, let's get to it this. You'll
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: be stunned to know that on Saturday night a big
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: topic of conversation amongst baseball fans was, uh, manager Dan
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Wilson and just decisions in terms of pitching. You wrote
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: about it, and we talked about it with our guys
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: a few minutes ago. Did Dan Wilson learn a lesson?
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: I think he did. If you look at the path
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: through the first two games, the exact same situation turned
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: up in Game one. In Game two, finally know one
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: on two outs, fifth inning, pitcher facing the lineup the
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: third time, Terry Carpenter at the plate. On Saturday, Wilson
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: let George Kirby pitch two Carpenter. Carpenter hit a two
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: run home on Sunday, I did it was an additional
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: runner on base. That was the only difference. Wilson lifted
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: Castillo for Inspire, Spire retired Carpenter. Now they did eventually
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: tie the game, but they ended up winning. And I
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: just like that the decision. Like Kirby faced Carpenter. Carpenter
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: has one of the largest platoons plits in baseball. He's
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: an excellent hitter. He's, you know, in that Kyle Schwarber
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: range of hitter against right handed pitchers, and he gets
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: left these He's not playable. He's just terrible that. You
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: don't see a lot of guys with big platoons look
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: like this anymore. He's one of them. So not turning
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: him around in Game one gave the Tigers a lot
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: of equity, and you know it didn't turn out for them.
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, it's any hitters, you know, Carpenter
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: might get a homer every eleven twelve percent of the
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: time against the rougedy they happened to hit one there.
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: But from a percentage standpoint, leaving Kirby in and I
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: understand you don't want to start the bullpen followings in
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: the fifth inning of Game one, I totally get that,
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: but Carpenter is a special case where you want to
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: attack him, and we saw Wilson the next night make
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: that decision to attack him. I think that's got to
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: consistently be the play you're going forward. It's tough because
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: Logan Gilbert's guy. You want to get seven innities. You
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: want him going through the lineup three times, so it'll
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: be interesting that third time through Carpenter batting, likely hitting
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: second again, batting in the fifth, maybe the sixth inning,
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: and Logan Gilbert, is that going to be a critical
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: at bat if you're the Marriners. You'd love to be
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: up for nothing at that point. So if Carpenter hits
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: a ball to Ford field, it doesn't actually matter. But
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: this decision could come up again, and it will will certainly
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: come up against four and five.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: There.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: This is stuff you study that I don't, and that's
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: why I ask you this question. How much is there
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: to the third time through the order in today's baseball?
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: It's significant. I want to make a point here that
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: the third time through the order, statistically, the third time
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: effect has always existed. You go back and you look
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: at Kofax and Mareschal and guys like that in the sixties,
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: and they got worse as the game went on. Oftentimes
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: the split was a fourth time through the order split,
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: but that was baseball back then. But it's not like
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: we invented this in the back cave at baseball perspectives
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: in two thousand and three. This is something that has
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: always existed. What has changed is that teams have a
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: lot of relievers now that are going to be better
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: than that pitch through the third time around. So in
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: nineteen seventy nine, you might have only been carrying eight
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: to the eight pitchers total, not eight relievers, and the
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: guy you were bringing in in the sixth inning wasn't
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: going to be as good as your starter the third
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: time eround. That's what's changed. Most teams now have two
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: or three relievers. Now I'm not talking about your guys
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: in the ninth beam. I'm talking about guys you might
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: come in the sixth and seventh who are going to
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: be better fresh out of the bullpen than your starter
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: the third time around. This is all about expanded pitching staffs.
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: That's why it's such a big issue now, just because
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: teams have the ability to bring in a picture we
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: would expect to be more effective than the start of
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: the third time around, and that wasn't the case really
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: until the twenty first century.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting too, though, because in the case of
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Gabe Spire probably could make an argument that he's your
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: number two reliever, high leverage guy, maybe even over Brash
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: right now, that's not how he's been used necessarily, But
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: you I almost think this is why Caleb Ferguson's also
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: on the roster right like that. That's why that's why
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: they went and got a Caleb for another lefty for
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: those splits you're talking about all. So yeah, third time
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: through fresh Gabe Caleb Fergusoner gave Spire. Maybe it's a
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: guy on the other side of the plate. Maybe it's
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Bizarrero or whoever is better than that hammer that we
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: all we love this pitching staff, but that's better than
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: those guys.
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: Well you add the two things together, right, it's the
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: third time factor for the starter. Plus it's the tune advantage,
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: which is all the more reason why you don't want
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: Now it's not just Carpenter against the right hander. It's
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: Carpenter against the right hander that he's seen twice that
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: has already thrown whatever it is, sixty or seventy pitches.
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: They pitches a sco and Kirby. It's one of the
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: first two games. So it's both sized factorials. Say, how
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: are we going to balance all these decisions, all of
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: these choices to make the decision you mentioned the second left.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: If you think about the course of a game, Carpenter
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: should really be getting this two at bats against the
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: right handed starter, and then Ferguson should get one of
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: the the third time around Spire the fourth or flip
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: those if you want, and if there's a fifth that's
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: probably going to be brasher Munios. You're desperately you don't
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: left the writing with Augres Lullias. He comes in the game,
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: he's there and pitch the knife to gain the three outs.
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: So what you want to do is Keith Carpenter from
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: getting those extra chances against right handed pitchers.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Joe, it's such a such a small sample size, like
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: you know, this time of the year, with you know,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: with with with you know, two games being played, but
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: really for Seattle, and I guess you could make me
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: make that same argument for for for Detroit. But cal
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: has hits Hu, especially on Saturday. But the big double yesterday, Julio.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Obviously we just talked about Polanco the two soul hole
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: runs and that's it for Seattle so far. Is that
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: concerning it all?
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: It's two games. I mean, it's concerning in that it
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: has to change. It doesn't mean any ass and Josh
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: Naylor are oh for fifteen with a walk.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: Naylor had that terrible at that he hit into the
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: double play on Saturday night they tied the game and
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: at first and second nobody out and Naylor just killed
• 53:47
  Speaker 8: it with the ground ball. Obviously at the Big Air,
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: I don't want to beat up on Josh Naylor too much.
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: We all know he's got a lot going on, but
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: he has not played well for two days as has
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: had some of the not just he's o't freak with
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: four strikeouts and it actually looks worse than that. Just
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: has not hit well at all. That has not looked
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: good at the play. But yeah, you can't really get
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: through this, you know, with four with six guys going
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: four for forty one. I believe that's just I think
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: it's other than two three four Rally Blanco and Whoe Riguez.
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: I believe it's four for forty one for everybody else.
• 54:16
  Speaker 8: Somebody's gonna have to do more than that over these
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: next couple of games. And remember you're you're facing your face.
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I can't remember started game one.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Try Melton Melton, yeah, full start basically yeah, yeah.
• 54:28
  Speaker 8: Right, let's let's let's not be too hard on the
• 54:30
  Speaker 8: you're gonna face flower To, You're gonna face mives. These
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: are mid rotation starters. These guys are considerably more hittable.
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: Don't have the power that are remotely the stuff that
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: that schoobl does, don't really even have the raw stuff
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: that Melton house Melton does, so the task does get
• 54:42
  Speaker 8: easier going to Detroit for the next two days.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Uh, real quick, before I let you go, we got
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: other series going on thoughts on. Chicago and Milwaukee were
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: only one game into the old both nlds's.
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Brewers, best team, best offensive team on balls and
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: play this year, take out struck to take on home
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: runs and they do better offensively than any team in baseball,
• 55:03
  Speaker 8: and they just killed the Cubs. And for the first
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: inning on Saturday, the Cubs had the best defense in
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: baseball this year. So this ball and play matchup that
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: was really intriguing. The Brewers won that going away six
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: runs in the first six for eight on balls and
• 55:18
  Speaker 8: play plus Nico Hornerman and error. So that was the
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: key matchup. The Brews win that first one. The Cubs
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: China County, which showed to Invinaga night in Theanaga's allowed
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: twenty home runs since the All Star Break and he's
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: had allowed more barrels, which is stat cast for really
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: well hit balls the All Star Break than all but
• 55:35
  Speaker 8: two pitches pitchers. This is not a good matchup for
• 55:37
  Speaker 8: the Cubs tonight. They gotta win this one in Philly obviously,
• 55:41
  Speaker 8: you know, I didn't like the way Drop Thompson managed
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: that game, but he left Christopher Hernandez, excuse me, Christopher
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: Sanchez in a little bit too long. The Grique Hernandez
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: got to him, and then in the seventh thiasca Hernandez
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: with the big home war off Matt Strom. Should be
• 55:56
  Speaker 8: a really fun matchup tonight. Stale against the WIZARDA. The
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: pitching matchups of this series are just unbelievable. Even with
• 56:01
  Speaker 8: Zach Wheeler out with the blood clot these are two
• 56:04
  Speaker 8: teams that just keeps show shoving so much stuff at
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: each other. Should be an interesting game tonight. So I
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: thought the two NL series were more interesting than the
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: two ALE series, which isn't to dismissing the others. But
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: these four teams, if you look at their underlying performance,
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: were basically equal through the regular season. They're basically a
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: four way top. So I just I'm fascinated to watch.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: These two games side tay Oscar Hernandez. Sounds familiar, Remember
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: that guy? I think sounds familiar that guy. Are we
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: are we talking next Monday or Tuesday about ALCS here
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: in Seattle? Are we putting a wrap on things?
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: I still think they're the better team. Uh you know,
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: it's in best of three at this point. You know,
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: you flip a coin, it's fifty two forty eight. Either way.
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: I think they're the better team. I think that dominant.
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: The difference in the Bulltons is going to really rear
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: attach the surprises that the Tigers won the game where
• 56:55
  Speaker 8: they had to lean on the Bullton and you know,
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: it's all like Saudia Vartist was bad. They gave up
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: a walk in a wild that set up a single.
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: But I do think that's the edge the Barritors have
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: they're going to be able to lean on. I would
• 57:05
  Speaker 8: be more surprised if the Tigers won then I would
• 57:10
  Speaker 8: be if the if the series didn't get back to Seattle.
• 57:12
  Speaker 8: What I mean by that, I think Mariners in four
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: is more likely than Tigers to win it all.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: It canna be fun. We're enjoying it here. We hopefully
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: we'll talk next week about the next series and whether
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: it be Toronto or New York. Trending towards Toronto. We'll see.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: But in the meantime, tell Peo about the Joehian newsletter
• 57:30

  Speaker 2: twelve six to continue to rip Kevin Mather theme. Julio
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: also gave a super postgame interview in that language he
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: supposedly can't speak.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I completely forgot about that.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: That was That was a big part of then other stuff.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: I just I forgot that part of it because there
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: was a lot of juice.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: You were in there for the post game with him
• 1:00:19

• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Like he's just he's perfect. He's perfect.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: That's it. I mean, we have two baseball players. One
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: is a superstar and the other one. Julio was on
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: the verge of that. I think, well he comes in too,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: He also did a pregame media session as well and
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: joked around with the guy from Major League Baseball who's
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: running the whole press conference and everything because it's a
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: big deal, and he did, you know, they have got
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: their data raids up there that are supposed to stay
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: there because it's supposed to be sponsors.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I'm taking the blue one, and he
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: did it both times. I'd be worried about that, like
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: how long has that been there?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: I think he was just messing with people and having.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Drink it, don't drink it, whatever you do, just having fun.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: And I love that.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: See three two five three. I worked the Sea Hot game,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: then walked across the street went to my first playoff
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: baseball game. It was epic. Never knew a play baseball
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: game where you never sit down. The whole stadium was
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: standing and so loud, and then I brought up the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: fact that the guy was there's a guy next to
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: my son and his buddy right above Softy got a
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: good thing. He wasn't next to Softy. That wouldn't have gone. Well, yeah,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: he's for five says go check out the wrong game.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Blankhead page on Instagram that Pirates guy should should have
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: been posted. Yeah. I don't get it, dude. You're wearing
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: a Pirate's hat. You're at T Mobile, it's a playoff game,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: it's our third home playoff game in twenty four years,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: and you're telling people sit down. That's wrong with you.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: Who are you and what are you doing at a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: baseball game?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know telling people to sit down. Well, let's
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: just say this. It did work.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: Well, there you go.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry you said he was saying that to Keefer.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Uh kind of everyone around him.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, because I wouldn't tango with Keith.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: No, no, And the thing is he just ignore him.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: But he just they kind of looked at him and
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: the like, yeah, whatever fell out just from.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: A size perspective, like not exactly the right thing.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, probably not, probably not. He didn't care. He's a
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: gentle giant. He's fine.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: He's like whatever.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: He's throwing peanuts at soft he set. No, I am perfect.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's too far down to that. Okay, let's
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: see what I had. A couple of the ones. Oh,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: the NFL is what it is nationally because of gambling
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: and fantasy I think most of these would put baseball
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: playoffs or a football regular season every time. I don't
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: eve want to argue about that. I will certainly agree
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: with you on this. The NFL is massive for what
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: the reason just stated. Yeah, fantasy football and gambling are
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: a huge reason why the NFL is popular. But it's
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: still popular because whether it's because of those reasons, are
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: you just like the games?
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: What have you?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: That's fantasy football and game. That's why the NFL finally
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: embraced it. Yes, it's gets factor factor fiction.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: Where's that to go?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: where every Day Feels Lucky. Factor Fiction is on Sports
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Factor Fiction is presented by Lucky Eagle, Casino and Hotel.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Let's see, yeah, I don't think. Yeah, nobody had a
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: winning week. None of the shows had a winning.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: That's what I was getting at when I said it's
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: a hard to predict a year.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Three of the four shows had a two to three week.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Our show was one and four.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the winning and.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I only snapped the losing streak finally,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: and it took a late cover by Alabama on a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: touchdown run at the very end of the game. And
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: don't think for a second I wasn't watching that and
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: charing on the Tide Roll Tide, that was our only win.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Seattle didn't cover versus Tampa obviously, anders I had the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: Huskies minus six and a half at Maryland. I was
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: rooting to be wrong, but not wrong on that end.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: If they're not going to cover, then don't then don't
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: win the game. They won the game and they didn't cover.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Ye lose, lose game. He there, your pick of Giants
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: plus one at the Saints, Well, won't even get into that.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: And I also missed on the Rams and the forty
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: nine ers. Big thanks to Sean McVay for his coaching mothers. Okay,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: let's get to it. Here's my pick four nine four
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: or five to one. Fact four nine four or five
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: to one. Fiction. This is recency bias, but I am
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: absolutely loving this pick Tampa, but Bay goes back home.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Take it on the forty nine Ers. Uh. San Francisco
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Ladies and Gentlemen. Buccaneers minus two and a half. That's it,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: all day, all day Bucks minus two and a half
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: against Santa Clara fact four nine four or five one.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: If you disagree fiction four nine four or five one.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: You know I just had a panic attack.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: I was looking at you, like what, Oh good, the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: game's not on Monday. Oh gosh no, no, no, don't worry.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: I thought it was because someone else picked it, but no, no, no.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: We're only the third pick of the week, so yeah.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: That would be that would be tough.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: I actually took Jacksonville plus four Tonite on Monday Night
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Football and MJ took you to minus ten versus records.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: I like that pick too, Yeah, Bucks minus two and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: a half forty nine Ers fact four nine four five one.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: If you disagree fiction four nine four five one. You're
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: trying to win a thousand dollars weekly prize or a
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's as simple as that.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: But the game's in Tampa. But I I don't know.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks couldn't stop that team, that Tampa team, they
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: couldn't stop them, and they're the Mayfield. Yeah, and no Bosa.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: That forty nine Ers defense is a little beat up,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: but you take him out of the lineup, no pass rush,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: he'll eat you alive. And the and the forty nine
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: ers are they're a paper tiger at four and one,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: but give him credit. Four and one leading the division
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: right now, Seattle three and two, Rams three and two,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Cardinals now two and three. I just Tampa is good,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: and I think you know we're gonna talk about tomorrow
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: with h Millen. If you're early right now saying who's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: the MVP in the National Football League, argue against Baker Mayfield? Like,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: argue against him for a second. I think it would
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: be rather difficult to do. So. He is having one
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: hell of a season so far. Is Baker may ten
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: touchdowns on the season? Uh, just an app I mean
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: passer rating a one oh four point four scrambles, runs,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: does everything, has only thrown one interception so far. I mean,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: I love Baker Mayfield. He just was terring and then
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: he's going without Mike Evans, who's a veteran receiver. Probably
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: when he comes back, still not their best receiver, because
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: that's like Buka from here, who was great yesterday. Yeah,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: so I'm loving this pick. Of course, I've loved all
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: my picks this year, and I haven't done very well.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: But I'm giving you this one bucks minus two and
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: a half at home against the forty nine ers fact
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: four nine four or five one. If you disagree fiction
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: four nine four five one thousand dollars week, probably you
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: can't win the money unless you text in fact or
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: fiction right now to four nine four or five to one.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: This is kind of a win win. You pick fact
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: that means that you're you know, you know, hopefully win
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars are qualified whin it's thousand dollars. Also, here's
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: the other bonus part of it. You're rooting against the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers double time. Oh hey, now that's fun,
• 1:08:08

• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: him and his buddy Cody. There's a guy next to them,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: little older gentleman wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates hat, and apparently
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: he was telling people sit down, sit down, sit down
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: in the entire game.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 5: I heard the guy.
• 1:10:52

• 1:10:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I did hear him. I didn't know where it

• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: fan of either one of the teams. Shut up.

• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I ignore them, Idy.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 9: I always kind of feel bad when I'm like the
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 9: last guy standing up and nobody else is standing. Like
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 9: Glenn Close in the natural, remember when she's the one
• 1:11:27

• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: I always feel bad when I'm the last one.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 9: But I really hope that if we play on Friday,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 9: which I'm kind of hoping that we don't because we
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 9: win these next two and be done with it. Yeah,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 9: that that's not the case. I mean, the crowd was
• 1:11:44

• 1:11:47
  Speaker 9: crowd was awesome. The atmosphere was as electric as I've
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: ever seen at T Mobile Park. I mean, god, guys,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 9: it's been twenty four years since they had a home
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 9: playoff game like that where they they gave the fans
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: something to cheer about. And I remember that game five
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 9: specifically in two thousand and one, getting back from Cleveland
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: late I used to have tickets in the three hundred
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 9: level back then. Morier shoved it up their ass that
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 9: day and they won Game five, after that crazy finish.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: In Game four in Cleveland the day before.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 9: Man, so it's been a long time since we felt that,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 9: but that was that was pretty freaking cool.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: That was pretty freaking cool.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: What percentage of the time were you sitting versus standing
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: in that game?
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 9: I'd say about sixty forty standing, But that's only because
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 9: of the people around me.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: I would have stood the whole game.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: That was awesome. I mean we were out in the
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: auxiliary press box that hit here and looking down and
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: it felt like people were standing about eighty percent of
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: the time down that right field line. It was in
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: the Polanco home run, the first one. Like I'd never
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: heard tea mobile like that in my life. Like it
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: was just off of that guy, and it was a screamer,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: like no doubt about it off the bat. Oh my god,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: it was awesome.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: It was well.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 9: Look, I mean it's one of those things where you're
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 9: just you're fidgety, right at least for me. I mean,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: I can't just sit there and just you know, Jessman
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 9: was asking me off here, did you have fun?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: No?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 9: I didn't have any fun. Nothing fun. Of the hell
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 9: you're talking about fun? It was nothing fun about that
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 9: I was freaking. Maybe the anxiety was through the roof
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 9: the entire day, you know, I mean the Seahawk game,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 9: I was like, whatever, I mean, it's like, just get
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 9: me over to T Mobile, man. I mean, Ian, I'll
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 9: be honest with you. And I think I saw Dick
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: there Jimmy's two during the post game. I bounced early
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: from the hot game. I just had to get the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 9: hell out of there. I was like, I'm done. I
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 9: just want to get across the street. And it was
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 9: a great Seahawk game, phenomenal Seahawk game. So you know,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: luckily I missed them blowing it in the fourth quarter.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's any think you got there early
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: because I left. I went to the press conference for
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks afterwards, and I probably left like thirty five
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: forty minutes after the game. So it was four forty
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: ish and I'm walking over trying to find the media
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: entrance because they switched it, which I'm looking over and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: i walked from the left field side all the way
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: around to the other side to h to Edgar Martine's way,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: and I'm surprised I got everybody in there. It was
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm telling you it feels like about fifty percent
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: of the crowd went to both.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: Right, totally, They're razy. There were a ton of people
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 9: that were going to both. I mean everybody that we
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 9: just kind of converse with throughout the day or you're going, yeah,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 9: we're going, we're going to both, you know, and even
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: the people that weren't going to both were hoping to
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 9: get to both and find a way to get in
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 9: the door. But yeah, I mean it was an epic weekend.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 9: I'm freaking exhausted. I know a lot of people are exhausted,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 9: But man, was it worth in the end because that
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 9: was something that we haven't seen. I was twenty eight
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 9: years old the last time we saw a Mariner playoff win.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: I think you were what forty seven the last fifty two? Yeah,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: so it's been a while. I mean, you know, it
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 9: should not be that way. Let's be honest, right guys.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 9: I think we all agree on that. Yeah, it should
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 9: not take that long. Like if you would have told
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 9: me walking out a Safegold field that day in two
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 9: thousand and one that we'd have to wait twenty four
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 9: more years to see a home playoff win, I would.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 5: Have said, you're out of your mind. Yeah, no way,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 5: no chance.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 9: So let let's let's hope that that's the longest stretch
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 9: like that that we ever see.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: By far.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: My biggest up now is it we get to enjoy
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: this for a few weeks, right, let's.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 9: Go absolutely, it's one of you kick their ass two
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 9: games and then take a few days off so we
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 9: can stretch it out.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: Well, because because there's a team that might be done
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: tomorrow that you're going to face in the next round.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: Because our friends in New York are not having a
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: good time right now.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 9: So no, but isn't the isn't the Alcs already set
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 9: for game one?
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: Is right?
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right?
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: What are you got coming up?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 9: Well, let's see Hugh Millan's going to join us, so
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 9: a little more at four with him, we'll do a
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 9: little fun with audio, and anders is in for Jackson.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 9: Jackson thought this would be a good week to take
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 9: off for some reason.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: I just saw Jackson last night the game. He's off,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 9: So Andrews has put together an emotional heart tugging montage
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 9: after last night's win that we'll hear as well. And
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 9: then we got Chiefs Jaguars coming up with Kevin Harlan
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: at five fifteen tonight.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked your voice is as strong as it is
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 9: It took some work to get it backpal, Yeah, took
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 9: some work, a lot of hot tea and honey since
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 9: last night.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 5: Told by the Boss the weekend, don't lose your voice,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 5: and I didn't. I didn't listen.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing by for it's gone again. But we'll see.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: For the mild mannered and marginally objectionable Inverness, this is
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: paddle day saying so long everyone,
