- 1:34Speaker 4: Please tell Yeah.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:35Speaker 6: So there's this thing called the World Cup, which apparently
- 1:38Speaker 6: a lot of people really like and like hundreds of
- 1:40Speaker 6: thousands of people from all over the world. They travel
- 1:42Speaker 6: everywhere just to go watch their soccer teams, and they're
- 1:44Speaker 6: all here in North America to watch all of their
- 1:46Speaker 6: soccer teams. And tonight our soccer team is playing.
- 1:49Speaker 4: What a tremendous breakdown there. You have a people that's it.
- 1:52Speaker 2: That's why they call her the best in the business.
- 1:55Speaker 2: That's the truth.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Ashley Ryan Here, my name is Chuck Pal.
- 1:58Speaker 2: It's great to have you with us on this Wednesday,
- 2:01Speaker 2: and yes, it is a bit of a historic day
- 2:04Speaker 2: here for American soccer, which we'll get into in a moment.
- 2:07Speaker 2: A lot of things to cover during the course of
- 2:09Speaker 2: the day today, we got what's on tap. I will
- 2:12Speaker 2: tune in here in a little bit as to exactly
- 2:16Speaker 2: what we're going to discuss over the course of the
- 2:18Speaker 2: next four hours together. But you know what, it's it's
- 2:21Speaker 2: interesting because I do kind of want to start with soccer.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I was on another radio station yesterday as a guest
- 2:31Speaker 2: on a radio station, and I was asked about my
- 2:35Speaker 2: relationship with soccer and everything else and then tie it
- 2:38Speaker 2: into how it's going here in Seattle, and I was honest, like,
- 2:42Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of the sport. I'm not
- 2:45Speaker 2: a fan of the sport. Just I'm let's not sugarcoat it.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of the sport. But I cannot
- 2:51Speaker 2: tell you how cool it's been here in Seattle, how
- 2:55Speaker 2: great the event has gone off, how excellent has been
- 3:00Speaker 2: to see those who are soccer fans, even if a
- 3:03Speaker 2: little bit kind of get kind of get hyped, and
- 3:07Speaker 2: those that are soccer fans a lot.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Of it getting over hyped.
- 3:12Speaker 2: And there's just been a great feeling here in Seattle,
- 3:15Speaker 2: and I have a feeling that's the way it's been
- 3:16Speaker 2: in Monterey, Mexico, and Los Angeles and Canada, the cities
- 3:22Speaker 2: that are hosting in Canada as well. It's just it's
- 3:26Speaker 2: been great. There's no getting around it. It has been
- 3:28Speaker 2: a great event to this point. I think North America
- 3:31Speaker 2: has shined to this point. I think I know that
- 3:34Speaker 2: Seattle has. I can tell you that firsthand. It has shined.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Our team is playing well, all of that, and so
- 3:42Speaker 2: so you know. Those are those are my feelings, Those
- 3:44Speaker 2: are the things I'm saying behind your back as KJR listeners,
- 3:48Speaker 2: just so you know. But my objective has been through
- 3:53Speaker 2: all of this, I'm not going to introduce any sour
- 3:56Speaker 2: notes unless forced to.
- 3:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Want to do that because this is sort of Christmas
- 4:02Speaker 2: for the soccer fan. We're getting soccer fans to listen
- 4:05Speaker 2: to Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM in ways
- 4:08Speaker 2: that they've not listened before because they want to hear
- 4:11Speaker 2: Brad Evans talk about tonight's game today at eight o'clock
- 4:14Speaker 2: with us, which is exactly what's going to happen.
- 4:16Speaker 4: So I.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Hope we've been a conduit to some degree for your
- 4:23Speaker 2: lust for this event, and for those that are not
- 4:27Speaker 2: really big soccer fans, we're like, yeah, I got to
- 4:28Speaker 2: admit this is pretty cool, like I've been. Then, hopefully
- 4:32Speaker 2: this has been a good source for you where we're
- 4:33Speaker 2: not hitting you over the head with it here in
- 4:35Speaker 2: the mornings, but we're also not ignoring it, because I
- 4:39Speaker 2: think that is malpractice to be ignoring it and things
- 4:43Speaker 2: of that nature. And so I got an example of
- 4:46Speaker 2: why I wanted to approach it this way. Why I
- 4:49Speaker 2: have approached it the way I have with soccer since
- 4:52Speaker 2: I came to town for goodness sake, because I don't
- 4:56Speaker 2: want to ruin other people's Christmases. From Kirkharb Street yesterday,
- 5:01Speaker 2: who went on a rant just out of the blue,
- 5:03Speaker 2: right in the middle of summer, this fool, this arrogant fool,
- 5:08Speaker 2: goes off on a rant about Major League Baseball yesterday, which.
- 5:11Speaker 4: Hits home for me. Yeah, it's my favorite sport.
- 5:14Speaker 2: But right in the middle of the season, all of
- 5:16Speaker 2: a sudden, this talking head who makes tens of millions
- 5:21Speaker 2: of dollars at ESPN and does a really good job.
- 5:24Speaker 4: He's very good at what he does.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Most of the time, he's very good.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I realized that he annoys people, but he's very good.
- 5:30Speaker 2: He studies, he knows what he's talking about. He presents
- 5:34Speaker 2: it well. I mean, he's very good to great at
- 5:37Speaker 2: what he does. But he's really annoyed. Started to annoy
- 5:41Speaker 2: people a lot here as of late, and he just
- 5:43Speaker 2: decides to send out a random text which had absolutely
- 5:49Speaker 2: no basis for anything about how stupid baseball is, how
- 5:54Speaker 2: bad it is. Where's all the athleticism? What happened to
- 5:58Speaker 2: the sport I grew up with, why is no one bunting?
- 6:00Speaker 2: Where are the pitchers hitting? He just goes off on
- 6:03Speaker 2: this rant, and it's and it was just the height
- 6:08Speaker 2: of ignorance, is what it was, because he clearly has.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Not watched the game in a while.
- 6:14Speaker 2: But he decided to come down from his you know,
- 6:18Speaker 2: clueless castle on top of Mount ignorance and then decree
- 6:22Speaker 2: to all of the people in the world, you need
- 6:25Speaker 2: to hear my thoughts about how displeased I am with
- 6:29Speaker 2: another sport that I not only don't cover, I clearly
- 6:33Speaker 2: have not watched in a quarter of a century.
- 6:36Speaker 4: So here you go, and then spends the rest of.
- 6:39Speaker 2: His day like defending himself against logical people who are like,
- 6:44Speaker 2: where are you coming from with all of this? Number one,
- 6:46Speaker 2: why are you doing it? And then number two, could
- 6:49Speaker 2: you make it more clear that you don't follow the
- 6:53Speaker 2: sport at all and you don't know what you're talking about?
- 6:57Speaker 4: And so uh so, yes, I'm I kind.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Of am glad that I've approached it this way, like
- 7:05Speaker 2: I've said before, and I don't think there's any other
- 7:08Speaker 2: way to approach it, quite frankly, and that is, don't
- 7:11Speaker 2: ruin everybody else's Christmas, just because you kind of followed
- 7:16Speaker 2: the sport and you've got some problems with it. Yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 2: and yet that's what he decided to do on just
- 7:23Speaker 2: a random Tuesday yesterday, kind of showed his ass to
- 7:27Speaker 2: the whole world about what Kirk Herbstreet is made of.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Well, and I thought the silliest thing he said was
- 7:33Speaker 6: that the game is dying with the youth of America.
- 7:35Speaker 3: I was like, then, you are clearly not.
- 7:37Speaker 6: Out in the spring because baseball and softball are thriving.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Yeah, they're thriving again, And the truth of the matter
- 7:45Speaker 2: is their back young players are now more choosing base
- 7:49Speaker 2: I mean they're not overtaking football.
- 7:51Speaker 4: No, no, no more are playing more.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Parents because of the concussion thing, are saying, you know
- 7:57Speaker 2: what this baseball thing. Yeah, yeah, if you really want
- 8:00Speaker 2: to get serious, it's longer careers, it's fewer injuries. I mean,
- 8:04Speaker 2: if you make it to the majors, the contracts are better.
- 8:08Speaker 2: You may want to get on this, Jimmy. Yeah, you
- 8:10Speaker 2: might want to get on this junior, you know. And
- 8:12Speaker 2: so we're starting to we're seeing a shift. So not
- 8:15Speaker 2: only is it not dying, it's actually grown exponentially massively
- 8:19Speaker 2: and grown exponentially in urban communities and grown exponentially everywhere.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And the popularity certainly isn't vast on the national scale,
- 8:28Speaker 2: but from a local perspective, people just soak it up
- 8:31Speaker 2: like a biscuit. They can't get enough baseball in their
- 8:34Speaker 2: local communities. And it has its problems like everybody else,
- 8:38Speaker 2: and it certainly can be picked on. But to just
- 8:41Speaker 2: pick to be that big of a face for another
- 8:44Speaker 2: sport because he is the face of college football, and
- 8:46Speaker 2: to just pick a random Tuesday to slam another sport
- 8:51Speaker 2: and then just come across as ignorant as you could
- 8:54Speaker 2: possibly come across about a sport, like saying, where to
- 8:58Speaker 2: all the athleticism and the sport, where did base stealing go?
- 9:01Speaker 2: There's been more base stole bases stolen in the last
- 9:04Speaker 2: two years than in the history of baseball.
- 9:06Speaker 3: That was my favorite.
- 9:06Speaker 6: All the people adding the community notes, like, no, all
- 9:09Speaker 6: of these things you're saying are wrung, They're all.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Wrong, and like and you want to come down from
- 9:13Speaker 2: on high because college football's been taking some shots, taking
- 9:18Speaker 2: some heat.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Deservedly so.
- 9:20Speaker 2: And you decided just randomly during the summer, probably after
- 9:24Speaker 2: five cocktails, that I'm going to rip on another sport
- 9:27Speaker 2: that my network covers. Yeah, And so I'm I'm glad
- 9:32Speaker 2: I'm not him to put it that way.
- 9:35Speaker 4: And he's he's richer than me and handsome.
- 9:37Speaker 2: And everything else, but what a toolbag. And so I'm
- 9:41Speaker 2: glad that we've not done that. I'm glad we've not
- 9:43Speaker 2: taken that approach during this because I know how much
- 9:48Speaker 2: fun people are having. I have a lot of fun here.
- 9:50Speaker 2: I'm sitting here on a twoday. Man, I got baseball
- 9:53Speaker 2: in front of me. Oh joy, you know harmony. Yeah,
- 9:57Speaker 2: I got an entire evening. I got nothing to do
- 9:59Speaker 2: but watch Mariners, Unicorns even out of town.
- 10:02Speaker 4: Oh I can, I can? I just watch all baseball
- 10:05Speaker 4: all night long. I'm having the time of my life. Tird.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Yeah, he put it right in your punch bowl, right.
- 10:11Speaker 2: In the punch bowl. I'm not going to be a
- 10:12Speaker 2: turd to the punch bowl of so many soccer fans
- 10:15Speaker 2: out there, and neither is Ashley Ryan.
- 10:17Speaker 4: And that's the way that we've operated here today.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think as far.
- 10:20Speaker 6: I mean, when we talk about regular season soccer, yeah
- 10:24Speaker 6: we can be a little turny, but not on purpose.
- 10:26Speaker 3: It's just we don't get.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Yeah, a few things.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, I.
- 10:29Speaker 6: Don't understand why there's a season with tournaments in the
- 10:32Speaker 6: middle of a season and I can't follow it and it.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Makes no sense. Like those things confuse me.
- 10:36Speaker 6: It's not that I'm trying to be a jerk or
- 10:38Speaker 6: turd about it. I just don't get it.
- 10:40Speaker 4: I'm not going to get there ever with that stuff.
- 10:42Speaker 3: No, and I'm not going to be different.
- 10:44Speaker 2: And we did a little segment yesterday about unnecessary soccer
- 10:47Speaker 2: riving usw's I like to call them, and I don't.
- 10:50Speaker 4: I'm never gonna get there. I think that needs to
- 10:52Speaker 4: be faded out. But I don't stretch.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Johnson told us he doesn't like that either, and he's
- 10:57Speaker 2: biggest soccer fan I think I've ever met.
- 10:59Speaker 6: There are are a lot of soccer fans who don't
- 11:01Speaker 6: like it, because it's one thing when a player is
- 11:03Speaker 6: actually injured.
- 11:04Speaker 3: It's another thing when a player is just like, oh
- 11:06Speaker 3: it's the rough coming.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Oh God, that aren't so bad, Like that's ridiculousous.
- 11:14Speaker 4: In the bone.
- 11:17Speaker 2: But anyway, today is a day for joy. Today is
- 11:20Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of fun. We have the game
- 11:22Speaker 2: for you tonight at five o'clock US versus Bosnia Herzegovina.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And on top of it all, Seattle is hosting again today.
- 11:31Speaker 2: It'll be one o'clock. Aaron was wrong about that. Yesterday
- 11:34Speaker 2: is one o'clock. Yes, so that's the time for the
- 11:38Speaker 2: match between Senegal and Belgium today. And and so a
- 11:43Speaker 2: lot of soccer action, I mean, there was a lot
- 11:46Speaker 2: last night. Apparently Mexico took over cities. Mexicans took over
- 11:50Speaker 2: cities the last night. Man, have they had a great
- 11:53Speaker 2: run through this thing. They have been peerless. They have
- 11:56Speaker 2: had four matches, they've won them all, and they haven't
- 11:58Speaker 2: really been that close. They outplayed they've smoked everybody that's
- 12:02Speaker 2: coming their vicinity. So they're having one hell of a
- 12:05Speaker 2: tournament in Mexico. And the US was kind of right
- 12:09Speaker 2: there on the same path until they decided, let's sit
- 12:12Speaker 2: all of our starters. We really don't need to beat Turka,
- 12:16Speaker 2: so let's go ahead and sit all of our starters.
- 12:18Speaker 2: But hopefully that didn't ruin any momentum, because the US
- 12:21Speaker 2: was flying just as high as Mexico prior to that
- 12:24Speaker 2: loss to Turka. And now we get into the knockout stage,
- 12:28Speaker 2: Polissic's gonna be healthy and ready to go. All those
- 12:31Speaker 2: guys that sat are gonna be ready to rip and roar.
- 12:35Speaker 2: And yet it kind of feels to me, like Ashley,
- 12:40Speaker 2: that we're kind of just counting on this victory here
- 12:43Speaker 2: in America, like we've already moved past this stage against Bosnia,
- 12:48Speaker 2: and that does worry me a little bit. And you know,
- 12:52Speaker 2: we're used to being knocked out of the World Cup.
- 12:55Speaker 2: We're more used to not making the World Cup than
- 12:59Speaker 2: we are to going deep in the World Cup.
- 13:01Speaker 4: And yet we've gotten a little taste of it.
- 13:04Speaker 2: We've had analysts, not just American analysts, but international analysts
- 13:08Speaker 2: talking about how great the US looks, and we're sort
- 13:12Speaker 2: of built up right now to expect that we're getting
- 13:16Speaker 2: to at least the next round, and if we lost
- 13:19Speaker 2: the next round, will be disappointed. At least that's the
- 13:22Speaker 2: feeling that I'm getting from people, and we're we could
- 13:27Speaker 2: be potentially setting ourselves up for a fall, because I
- 13:30Speaker 2: don't know if anybody's even entertaining the thought of what
- 13:33Speaker 2: if we lose tonight.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I don't. I think you're right, I don't think anyone is.
- 13:36Speaker 6: I think if we watch that game tonight and the
- 13:39Speaker 6: US does not win, it will be just blank stares
- 13:43Speaker 6: at a television, jaws on the ground, and massive disappointment.
- 13:47Speaker 6: I mean, by the way, every I think if you
- 13:49Speaker 6: would have said, oh, the US made it to the
- 13:51Speaker 6: round to thirty two and lost before the tournament started,
- 13:53Speaker 6: everyone would been like, all right, well, we didn't really
- 13:55Speaker 6: expect a lot from him. But when you saw them
- 13:57Speaker 6: in the first two games, everybody he immediately got pretty
- 14:01Speaker 6: hyped on this team, and rightfully so. And so to
- 14:05Speaker 6: now go. I mean, I'm hearing people say, well, if
- 14:08Speaker 6: they make it.
- 14:09Speaker 3: To the round of eight, that'll be a good run.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm like, wait, we went from yeah, you
- 14:13Speaker 2: had two more wins.
- 14:14Speaker 6: We went from getting me kind of getting mocked for
- 14:17Speaker 6: picking the US in our green Jacket draft too. If
- 14:20Speaker 6: we make it to the round of eight, it'll be
- 14:23Speaker 6: a good run, not a great run. A good run
- 14:25Speaker 6: is what I heard this morning. I was like, I
- 14:27Speaker 6: think that would be pretty great.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be great.
- 14:29Speaker 2: I would think, yeah, we certainly would have taken that
- 14:31Speaker 2: at the beginning of this process. But now the expectations
- 14:35Speaker 2: and they've earned it. They played really well in the
- 14:38Speaker 2: first two rounds and again I'm not an expert. I'm
- 14:41Speaker 2: going to rely on the experts who tell me how
- 14:44Speaker 2: impressive the US looked, and not American analysts, but analysts
- 14:48Speaker 2: from other countries who are complimenting how well the US
- 14:53Speaker 2: has played and looks like they might have turned a corner.
- 14:55Speaker 2: I think this is the most athletic roster that the
- 14:59Speaker 2: US has ever feel for a World Cup, So I
- 15:02Speaker 2: think that could come in pretty handy here as we
- 15:06Speaker 2: as we go. But if I've provided any kind of
- 15:10Speaker 2: personal and analysis, that's worth a damn throughout the course
- 15:16Speaker 2: of the last few weeks. I mean, I asked Brad
- 15:19Speaker 2: Evans the first time I talked to him, like people
- 15:21Speaker 2: act like that there would be a huge upset if
- 15:26Speaker 2: Team A or Team B or Team C lost somewhere
- 15:29Speaker 2: along the way. I said, how could it be a
- 15:31Speaker 2: huge upset when so many matches are played within a
- 15:36Speaker 2: bad bounce of the match going the other way?
- 15:39Speaker 4: And so that's a great point. So there we go.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Good for me, made a great point about soccer. But
- 15:45Speaker 2: I think that's played out, especially since we've started this
- 15:48Speaker 2: knockout stage. I mean, yesterday sort of went as scripted
- 15:52Speaker 2: with France advancing and Norway advancing and Mexico advancing yesterday.
- 15:58Speaker 2: But we've already had shot upsets to this point in
- 16:02Speaker 2: the knockout stage. Germany's not around anymore, right, Morocco was,
- 16:07Speaker 2: as Andrews told us, that might be the best most
- 16:10Speaker 2: even matchup of the entire round.
- 16:12Speaker 4: Yea, so maybe that wasn't such a huge upset.
- 16:14Speaker 2: But the Dutches Netherlands is considered just a powerhouse in
- 16:18Speaker 2: this sport and they're gone, And so I'm not sure
- 16:21Speaker 2: you can count on anything in any sport at this level,
- 16:25Speaker 2: with this big of a stage and this much at stake,
- 16:28Speaker 2: and how much passion is going to be poured into
- 16:30Speaker 2: these matches tonight. But then you put on top of it,
- 16:35Speaker 2: most games are played two to one, one to nothing,
- 16:38Speaker 2: and a bad bounce or a bad call by the official,
- 16:41Speaker 2: or an uncharacteristic meltdown by a player that gets a
- 16:46Speaker 2: red card or creates a penalty kick in front of
- 16:50Speaker 2: the goal, anything like that.
- 16:53Speaker 4: And you're done.
- 16:54Speaker 2: It's over. This is the knockout stage. You can't hope
- 16:57Speaker 2: to get in by points in the next round. You
- 17:00Speaker 2: know this is a lose and you are out. And
- 17:04Speaker 2: then we've seen how much stress and pressure is on
- 17:07Speaker 2: penalty kicks at the end of the match if you
- 17:09Speaker 2: end up tied. So I don't know, I feel like
- 17:13Speaker 2: we've set ourselves up for this expectation that if big,
- 17:18Speaker 2: if if you lost. Ah, I don't know how devastating
- 17:22Speaker 2: that would be to US soccer, to us interests in soccer,
- 17:27Speaker 2: because it seems like it's growing by leaps.
- 17:29Speaker 4: And bounds right now.
- 17:31Speaker 2: But another early ouster, especially when people have already convinced
- 17:35Speaker 2: themselves we're going to.
- 17:36Speaker 4: At least the eight round of eight. I mean, that
- 17:38Speaker 4: would be crushing.
- 17:39Speaker 6: I would think, yeah, and you're playing in your home
- 17:42Speaker 6: country too, so I mean, just the expectations did pile
- 17:44Speaker 6: on there. It is funny because you're talking about the
- 17:47Speaker 6: weird bounces and things. Watching that Morocco Netherlands game the
- 17:50Speaker 6: other day when the guy that ended up scoring the
- 17:52Speaker 6: winning penalty kick, when he got hit in the eye
- 17:54Speaker 6: and was bleeding literally everywhere, and then they walk him
- 17:58Speaker 6: over to the side. He doesn't leave the game. He's
- 18:00Speaker 6: standing on the side while they fix his eye and
- 18:02Speaker 6: the game's going on without him. I thought, what other
- 18:04Speaker 6: sport would they have someone standing still on the field
- 18:07Speaker 6: of play getting medically attended to because obviously he can't leave.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Or he can't come back right and and the game.
- 18:14Speaker 6: So now they're playing one man down while he's getting
- 18:16Speaker 6: his eye glued to keep playing.
- 18:18Speaker 3: I just thought that was the weirdest thing. I thought.
- 18:20Speaker 6: So, now, what if Netherlands goes down and scores because
- 18:22Speaker 6: this poor guy got his head split open?
- 18:25Speaker 4: Even worse, what if the trainer scores the winning goal?
- 18:27Speaker 3: Oh, that would have been crazy.
- 18:29Speaker 6: Maybe they put the trainer in while his eye, the
- 18:31Speaker 6: extra trainer, assistant trainer, while his eyes getting What if.
- 18:34Speaker 4: The medic stabs another player?
- 18:37Speaker 3: I don't think that's allowed.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Yeah, with you know, with his scalpel.
- 18:41Speaker 3: It's always a possibility.
- 18:42Speaker 4: He always carries crazy crazy.
- 18:45Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
- 18:47Speaker 2: rest of the show today.

- 19:14Speaker 2: to provide the best preview in town Us versus Bosnia.
- 19:17Speaker 2: The match starts at five o'clock and you can hear
- 19:20Speaker 2: it right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM.
- 19:23Speaker 2: We fully committed to it yesterday. Norway, France and Mexico
- 19:28Speaker 2: all advanced and as long as England gets the job
- 19:31Speaker 2: done today against Congo, that's your next matchup for Mexico.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Mexico versus England, that's going to be all the battle
- 19:39Speaker 2: in the round of sixteen. Meanwhile, Belgium and Senegal will
- 19:43Speaker 2: be played here today at one o'clock. In Seattle, NBA
- 19:47Speaker 2: free agency got underway yesterday, but the only real free
- 19:52Speaker 2: agent news is that Lebron James, and it's big news.
- 19:56Speaker 2: He is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, to the celebration
- 20:00Speaker 2: of Laker fans as they never really did embrace Lebron James.
- 20:05Speaker 2: So we'll talk a little bit about where he might
- 20:07Speaker 2: end up and reckless at breakfast today at seven forty five,
- 20:11Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard was traded away for a boatload. Oh man,
- 20:17Speaker 2: was that a stunning amount of draft capital to ship
- 20:22Speaker 2: to Los Angeles in exchange for a guy that I
- 20:26Speaker 2: don't think anyone even Toronto can trust to not just
- 20:29Speaker 2: one day wake up in the morning and say I
- 20:31Speaker 2: don't want to play anymore.
- 20:33Speaker 3: I would believe that I would too.
- 20:35Speaker 2: I mean, he's now, he's well past thirty now, and
- 20:38Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me at all. Of Kawhi Leonard halfway
- 20:41Speaker 2: through the season was just like, you know, just not
- 20:43Speaker 2: in me anymore. And the Raptors just gave up our
- 20:47Speaker 2: King's ransom to bring Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto. So
- 20:51Speaker 2: a big, big gamble on their part, and most analysts
- 20:55Speaker 2: are giving the Clippers an A plus on what they
- 20:57Speaker 2: got for Kawhi Leonard.
- 21:00Speaker 4: WNBA Alissa Thomas has.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Called out the WNBA commissioner because after the Caitlin Clark incident,
- 21:07Speaker 2: she received a lot of heat on social media and
- 21:12Speaker 2: she thinks that the WNBA commissioner has the power to
- 21:15Speaker 2: stop that. Oh okay, and isn't doing her job. Okay,
- 21:19Speaker 2: you can't keep yourself from choking out the person that
- 21:22Speaker 2: is responsible for your pay raise, but you think your
- 21:25Speaker 2: commissioner can stop social media.
- 21:28Speaker 3: She needs to learn about social media.
- 21:30Speaker 4: I think weird.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about that if we get time. Zach
- 21:33Speaker 2: Warinsky veto's a trade to Dallas. So how about that.
- 21:38Speaker 2: How about when the tables turn? Doesn't that turn the tables?
- 21:43Speaker 3: Oh my, how the turning tables have turned.
- 21:48Speaker 2: So Zach Warinsky might be the best defenceman not named
- 21:52Speaker 2: Cale mccarr in the world. And he apparently Columbus Bluejack.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Everybody wants to leave Columbus. But apparently everybody that is
- 21:59Speaker 2: a are in the league wants to give everyone a
- 22:02Speaker 2: short list of I only want to play for these
- 22:05Speaker 2: two or three teams.
- 22:06Speaker 4: That's it.
- 22:07Speaker 2: So Dallas apparently traded for Warensky and that would have
- 22:11Speaker 2: been a blockbuster, and he said, nope, I don't want
- 22:13Speaker 2: to play for Dallas. That's not a bad team. That's
- 22:16Speaker 2: a pretty good organization right there.
- 22:18Speaker 3: They're playoff contenders every year.
- 22:19Speaker 4: Weird stuff going on. We'll talk about that.
- 22:21Speaker 2: At six forty five, Serena loses in her return to Wimbledon,
- 22:24Speaker 2: but oh what a lot of credit, a lot of respect. Yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 2: battled it out there.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I mean, how many years was she away?
- 22:31Speaker 2: Four and just goes right back out there and yeah,
- 22:35Speaker 2: shows she's the best of all time. And finally Mariners win.
- 22:41Speaker 2: I didn't mean to bury it, we actually have joy.
- 22:44Speaker 2: So Mariners went over the Angels eight to three last night,
- 22:48Speaker 2: But of course we're going to break it down in
- 22:49Speaker 2: Mariners Morning After, which is coming your way next. We'll
- 22:52Speaker 2: also have ABC's Baseball Brunch and More today and Hugh
- 22:55Speaker 2: Millan will stop by. It's the final final Seahawks one
- 22:59Speaker 2: series installment.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Hugh is going to.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Break down Nick even Warri for us today. It just
- 23:06Speaker 2: didn't feel right not to have Emon Warri broke down
- 23:10Speaker 2: for you in our Seahawks one series. We extended it
- 23:12Speaker 2: a couple of days, but this is the last day.
- 23:14Speaker 2: We're not doing it after today. Coming up next Mariner's
- 23:17Speaker 2: Morning After on KJR Mariners Morning After. It's our daily
- 23:23Speaker 2: Mariner's postgame show. After every Mariner game we do a
- 23:26Speaker 2: postgame show. We just do it the morning after. Highlight
- 23:29Speaker 2: a sound by the preview of what's going on tonight,
- 23:31Speaker 2: which is nothing coming your way here today on Mariner's
- 23:35Speaker 2: Morning After. And the M's trying to make it two
- 23:37Speaker 2: in a row, trying to get back above five hundred.
- 23:40Speaker 2: It was embarrassing that they ever have slipped below five hundred.
- 23:43Speaker 2: They're taking on the Angels, as bad a team as
- 23:47Speaker 2: there is probably in the American League. They're also down
- 23:51Speaker 2: a trout. So once you're down a trout, you're down
- 23:54Speaker 2: and out. That's right, that's my I have that monogrammed
- 23:57Speaker 2: on a pillow. And so they're taking on the Angels
- 24:01Speaker 2: and Jose Soriano, and for a while you wondered, is
- 24:05Speaker 2: anyone going to score in this game? Brian Wu rekindled
- 24:09Speaker 2: his home magic. He extended his scoring scoreless streak at
- 24:14Speaker 2: home to a record number over thirty one innings for
- 24:19Speaker 2: Brian Wu. Meanwhile, Jose Soriano looked like the Jose Soriano
- 24:24Speaker 2: of April. We couldn't really get anything going against him either.
- 24:28Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, in the bottom of
- 24:30Speaker 2: the sixth of a scoreless affair, things turned on a dime.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Mariners just started putting together single something that Aaron Goldsmith
- 24:39Speaker 2: thinks is impossible, that you can score a run without
- 24:42Speaker 2: a home run.
- 24:43Speaker 3: Well you can do it, yeah, I mean you can
- 24:46Speaker 3: do it.
- 24:46Speaker 2: He was just gobsmacked last night. Rodriguez a single to left, Naylor,
- 24:51Speaker 2: a single to center, a Rose Arena singles home Julio,
- 24:56Speaker 2: who was flying by the way, I'm like, why are
- 24:59Speaker 2: you sending him third? And he scored easily.
- 25:01Speaker 6: Which is weird because Kirk Hurd Street said, there's no
- 25:04Speaker 6: speed in Major League Baseball.
- 25:05Speaker 3: There athleticism, no athleticism.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Col walked to his relief.
- 25:12Speaker 3: He was relieved by that.
- 25:14Speaker 2: That loaded up the bases again. Then Cole Young battled
- 25:17Speaker 2: back from down in the count. He singles to right now,
- 25:20Speaker 2: we're up two to nothing. They bring in a new pitcher.
- 25:23Speaker 2: They already brought in a new pitcher, sil Seth. He
- 25:26Speaker 2: throws a wild pitch. Now it's three to nothing, and man,
- 25:29Speaker 2: just you know, we're just living high on the hog
- 25:32Speaker 2: at this point, and West and Wilson comes to the plate.
- 25:36Speaker 2: There are two outs. We still got a chance for
- 25:38Speaker 2: a couple more runs out there. They sure felt handy
- 25:42Speaker 2: at the time. And if the bearded west and Wilson
- 25:45Speaker 2: didn't come through.
- 25:48Speaker 5: Inside out right to town, is it call you out
- 25:52Speaker 5: the racist teleplate? Weston Wilson runs in two more and
- 25:57Speaker 5: the Mariners taking it to the Angels in the pottom
- 26:01Speaker 5: of at sixteen eight, it's five.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Nothing, five nothing at that point. Aaron on the call
- 26:07Speaker 2: Mariners TV last night, Right now, West and Wilson without question,
- 26:12Speaker 2: is our best performing Wilson in the organization.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's sad.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Sorry, Dan five five nothing at that point because then
- 26:23Speaker 2: in the top of the seventh, I'm not going to
- 26:26Speaker 2: get into.
- 26:26Speaker 4: This right now. I'm going to get into this at seven.
- 26:28Speaker 3: This is positive.
- 26:29Speaker 2: I'm just going to say I think he screwed up
- 26:33Speaker 2: his bullpen decisions again last night. That's all I'm gonna say.
- 26:36Speaker 2: I will expand on that at seven oh five this morning.
- 26:39Speaker 2: But Brian wu As, his thirty one inning scoreless streak
- 26:42Speaker 2: snapped because he went back out for the seventh. I'll
- 26:46Speaker 2: wait till seven oh five and two runs actually three
- 26:50Speaker 2: runs scored in that seventh inning, and we were back
- 26:52Speaker 2: to a tight game. But the Mariners come right back
- 26:55Speaker 2: in the bottom of the seventh to get those three
- 26:58Speaker 2: runs back, rebuild their lead to five, and that's how
- 27:01Speaker 2: it would finish eight to three as the final score.
- 27:04Speaker 2: At least he went to Andre's munios last night and
- 27:06Speaker 2: the ninth who looks fantastic right now, just fantastic.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:11Speaker 6: I was like, when when you call on him, I
- 27:13Speaker 6: was like, oh, thank god, mm hmm, because he doesn't
- 27:16Speaker 6: need another day.
- 27:17Speaker 2: He was gonna, well, he's gonna get at least two
- 27:18Speaker 2: if he didn't pitch last night exactly. So yeah, I mean,
- 27:21Speaker 2: maybe they're listening. I don't know, but they pitched munios
- 27:24Speaker 2: last night even though it wasn't a safe situation, and
- 27:27Speaker 2: he is just he's just back for all of you
- 27:30Speaker 2: that wanted him replaced, silly people, Brian wo though he
- 27:36Speaker 2: is fantastic at home, there's no getting around it.
- 27:39Speaker 4: And he talked after the game.
- 27:41Speaker 7: I just wanted to get the off speets going just
- 27:44Speaker 7: a little bit more, either early or late, whatever it was.
- 27:47Speaker 7: I just want to throw him more. I feel like
- 27:50Speaker 7: that was the only thing. Was just didn't feel like
- 27:52Speaker 7: I was using them enough for how good they've been
- 27:56Speaker 7: feeling lately, So just get them were involved in the
- 28:00Speaker 7: game plan whenever it was. The fastball has been really good.
- 28:03Speaker 7: But I feel like the fastball is good because of
- 28:09Speaker 7: the involvement of the off speeds and using them in
- 28:11Speaker 7: different spots. Just the constant use of the other offspeeds
- 28:16Speaker 7: and whatever spots I think made the fastball better. So
- 28:19Speaker 7: hopefully going forward. You know, there's in every game, you
- 28:23Speaker 7: have different feels for each pitch and sometimes they feel
- 28:26Speaker 7: good and sometimes I don't. But just yeah, hopefully consistently
- 28:29Speaker 7: moving forward, just a better mix.
- 28:33Speaker 8: You also sent franchise remember most concaive scoreless whole matings today,
- 28:40Speaker 8: knowing the pitchers I've involved in the history of this organization,
- 28:43Speaker 8: the papers that you have in about house, just what
- 28:45Speaker 8: them to send.
- 28:46Speaker 7: Them, Mark, Yeah, it's pretty cool. I had no idea
- 28:51Speaker 7: that was a thing until I done. But yeah, pretty
- 28:55Speaker 7: pretty awesome, pretty uh incredible honor, like you said, especially
- 29:01Speaker 7: with the guys that have pitched here, currently pitching here,
- 29:05Speaker 7: and have pitched here. Like, there's a lot of really
- 29:08Speaker 7: really good names that I've come through here, So it
- 29:13Speaker 7: means a lot and you know, hopefully just go start
- 29:17Speaker 7: another one.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Though, well more importantly, we got to get you fixed
- 29:22Speaker 4: on the road.
- 29:23Speaker 6: Yeah, that's all I could think about last night when
- 29:25Speaker 6: they were showing even the graphic with the thirty two
- 29:27Speaker 6: innings or whatever, and it was.
- 29:29Speaker 4: What makes no sense?
- 29:30Speaker 3: And I was like, how is it? How is he
- 29:32Speaker 3: that dominant? At home?
- 29:34Speaker 2: Well, it's always just one bad inning, And so that's
- 29:37Speaker 2: why I'm telling you, it's just psychological. He right now
- 29:40Speaker 2: expects to run into trouble and not to get out
- 29:43Speaker 2: of it.
- 29:44Speaker 4: When he's pitching on the road.
- 29:46Speaker 2: There's no way that you can have splits that extreme
- 29:49Speaker 2: and then coming off that performance, which was again one
- 29:52Speaker 2: bad inning, yep, come back home, and then all of
- 29:54Speaker 2: a sudden, your great Brian Wu again.
- 29:57Speaker 6: It's almost like he's actually twins, and only one of
- 30:00Speaker 6: them pitches on the road and one of them so
- 30:02Speaker 6: it's like Ryan Wu's on the road, Ryan Wu's at home,
- 30:05Speaker 6: but we just don't know they're two different players.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Can I Can I say that?
- 30:08Speaker 2: I'm glad, I'm I got to talk about this now
- 30:11Speaker 2: because I can't forget it.
- 30:13Speaker 4: Oh you tarps off? Oh yeah, boys.
- 30:16Speaker 2: I don't really like the tops off, tops tarps off
- 30:20Speaker 2: thing because we're copycatting. We didn't start that. It started
- 30:24Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, and I don't really like that. It's
- 30:27Speaker 2: a thing here. Yeah, but that chant you started with him?
- 30:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like going around the Diamond.
- 30:34Speaker 4: I didn't.
- 30:34Speaker 2: I mean it was fine for one night, and I
- 30:37Speaker 2: like that our players kind of acknowledged and wave, especially
- 30:39Speaker 2: JP's that was a really cool like yep, you know,
- 30:42Speaker 2: waiting for the pitch to finish. But that's a Yankee thing.
- 30:46Speaker 2: We're not going to take that. The Yankees fans have
- 30:48Speaker 2: been doing that for twenty five years. We're not thirty years.
- 30:52Speaker 2: We are not stealing that. Either we're going to be original,
- 30:55Speaker 2: but what when you started the role call with WU
- 31:00Speaker 2: and there was just this like guttural.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. Yeah, all that works.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Just give me chills again?
- 31:09Speaker 4: That works?
- 31:10Speaker 2: Yeah, fellas, that works. Mariner fans, if you're paying attention,
- 31:14Speaker 2: get in on that. Yeah, because we build that up
- 31:18Speaker 2: by the time you get to the playoffs. By the
- 31:22Speaker 2: time you get to the playoffs. Can you imagine how
- 31:26Speaker 2: cool that would be? Just forty five thousand fans gutturally
- 31:32Speaker 2: whoo whoo woo.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Okay, guys, give me chills every night.
- 31:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm right. Oh that works.
- 31:39Speaker 3: I like it.
- 31:40Speaker 2: You half naked weirdos. You you have stumbled upon something here.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Scrap everything else. Keep your shirts on and every Yeah,
- 31:48Speaker 2: keep your shirts.
- 31:49Speaker 4: On and don't go around.
- 31:50Speaker 2: But when Wo's on the mound in a big moment,
- 31:53Speaker 2: if we could get as the as the season progresses,
- 31:56Speaker 2: everybody to do that chant.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Oh that's yeah, I like that. That's gonna work. All right,
- 32:04Speaker 4: No game tonight.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Very strange that you don't have a Wednesday game, but
- 32:08Speaker 2: because of the World Cup, not just hosting here in
- 32:12Speaker 2: Seattle at one o'clock, but the US plays at five.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Just the decision made, well, why don't we just play
- 32:17Speaker 2: on Thursday instead of Wednesday.
- 32:18Speaker 4: So that's what's going to happen.
- 32:20Speaker 2: So the series is interrupted by a day, strangely enough,
- 32:24Speaker 2: and then the same two teams will pick it back
- 32:26Speaker 2: up on Thursday and we will actually have a Thursday
- 32:29Speaker 2: night game.
- 32:29Speaker 4: It won't even be a day game.
- 32:30Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the crazy part.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Be a Thursday night game against the Angels. So chance
- 32:35Speaker 2: for you to soak up all the soccer you want
- 32:37Speaker 2: to soak up today and tonight.
- 32:39Speaker 4: All right, coming up next man.
- 32:42Speaker 2: I don't know if they had a meeting or what,
- 32:44Speaker 2: but Hockey Stars have decided we don't want to be traded.
- 32:48Speaker 4: We'll talk about it next.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 33:02Speaker 3: All right, headline's coming up at seven o'clock today.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Plus I will get into that Dan Wilson stuff that

- 33:39Speaker 2: exactly what we're going to do it eight forty five today,
- 33:41Speaker 2: eight forty five and we're going to have our contest today.
- 33:43Speaker 3: We give away a grill.
- 33:45Speaker 4: Yeah from Riches for the home.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Let's talk hockey here because there was a big story
- 33:53Speaker 2: last week and a lot of us here in Seattle
- 33:56Speaker 2: took it personally for various reasons, that Jason robb And
- 34:00Speaker 2: turned down a trade to come to the Seattle Kraken.
- 34:03Speaker 2: The Kraken took it personally. The cracking got right on it.
- 34:06Speaker 2: We're not the only ones you know that he turned down.
- 34:10Speaker 4: And so that.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Was a big story last week and some people had
- 34:17Speaker 2: some fun with it and people some people blamed it
- 34:19Speaker 2: on taxes in Seattle, which who knows, maybe it played
- 34:23Speaker 2: a part.
- 34:23Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 34:24Speaker 2: I'm not in the Jason Robertson household. I don't know
- 34:26Speaker 2: what paid played a part in it. Some people said, well,
- 34:29Speaker 2: we're just not a winner. He wants to play on
- 34:30Speaker 2: a winner. I mean, everybody had their different reason for
- 34:35Speaker 2: why it hurt. Because even your anger comes from.
- 34:38Speaker 4: A place of hurt.
- 34:39Speaker 2: I can promise you that here in Seattle. Well, I
- 34:43Speaker 2: think that what's happening in the National Hockey League is
- 34:47Speaker 2: these guys are trying to control their own destiny. And yeah,
- 34:53Speaker 2: there's an element of that in every sport. But obviously
- 34:56Speaker 2: these guys put together contracts where they can't just be
- 34:59Speaker 2: traded somewhere else. They've got to approve the trade. They
- 35:03Speaker 2: are working that into their contract. And by working that
- 35:06Speaker 2: into their contract, yes, they have the right to veto,
- 35:09Speaker 2: and they have a right to choose. They put it
- 35:11Speaker 2: in their contract for a reason that's important to them,
- 35:14Speaker 2: where they play, what city they live in, what state
- 35:17Speaker 2: they live in, what taxes they pay, what political climate
- 35:21Speaker 2: surrounds them, whatever the case might be. So it's been
- 35:25Speaker 2: important enough, and it's obviously a trend because Dylan Larkin
- 35:29Speaker 2: already has it in his contract, Jason Robertson already has it.
- 35:32Speaker 2: And even if it's not the case, the refusal to
- 35:36Speaker 2: you can trade for me, but I'm not going to
- 35:38Speaker 2: re sign with you. Obviously that's going to send a
- 35:40Speaker 2: team running for the Hills as well. We're not going
- 35:42Speaker 2: to give up all of this if you're only going
- 35:44Speaker 2: to be here for one year, right, So whatever as
- 35:48Speaker 2: going into this, these players have huddled up, they've gotten together,
- 35:52Speaker 2: and they have determined we want to choose where we play,
- 35:59Speaker 2: not just for a short period of time, but for
- 36:01Speaker 2: the long period of time. And last night it was
- 36:04Speaker 2: Zach Warinsky of the Columbus Bluejackets, one of the best
- 36:06Speaker 2: young players in the National Hockey League. Apparently everybody wants
- 36:10Speaker 2: to leave Columbus, but they want to choose where they're
- 36:13Speaker 2: going to go. So he turned down a trade to
- 36:15Speaker 2: the Dallas Stars. I want to play for the Dallas Stars.
- 36:18Speaker 2: He wants to choose his own destination. So now does
- 36:21Speaker 2: it make a little more sense. Do we not take
- 36:23Speaker 2: it as personally here in Seattle that Jason Robertson turned
- 36:27Speaker 2: us down.
- 36:28Speaker 4: I mean that we've now.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Had a series of players that have said, Nope, you
- 36:32Speaker 2: will trade me to one of these three teams, or
- 36:35Speaker 2: I won't accept the trade and I'm not going to
- 36:38Speaker 2: sign an extension. I mean, there's obviously a movement taking
- 36:42Speaker 2: place with young stars in the NHL, and the Kraken
- 36:45Speaker 2: weren't the only victims of said movement.
- 36:48Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't think I mean, nobody should have
- 36:50Speaker 6: taken that personally. They even said there was I mean,
- 36:53Speaker 6: he turned down three teams all in within twenty four
- 36:55Speaker 6: hours and came out with a list of where he
- 36:57Speaker 6: wanted to go.
- 36:57Speaker 3: And all three of those teams were in California. So
- 37:00Speaker 3: he had.
- 37:02Speaker 6: Wanted to go back to California because he's from there, right,
- 37:06Speaker 6: So I mean it's it's I think, good for these
- 37:09Speaker 6: young players for being able to choose their own destiny.
- 37:12Speaker 3: It's weird to me to to have like that.
- 37:15Speaker 6: They have that opportunity to say, yes, I'll be traded,
- 37:18Speaker 6: but only to these these teams, and there are certain
- 37:21Speaker 6: I mean, we talk about it with Baseball with Byron
- 37:24Speaker 6: Buxton who says, I don't want to be traded.
- 37:25Speaker 3: I don't want to be traded.
- 37:27Speaker 6: If I'm going to be traded, I'm going to decide
- 37:29Speaker 6: where I'm going.
- 37:30Speaker 2: And he definitely worked a no trade clause into his contract.
- 37:33Speaker 2: I think Robertson's situation was I'm not going to sign
- 37:38Speaker 2: that extension. So the Cracker are like, well, we can't
- 37:40Speaker 2: trade all of this. If you're only going to be
- 37:42Speaker 2: here for a year, we might not even be ready
- 37:44Speaker 2: to win this year. So that's his decision. I don't
- 37:47Speaker 2: know what went into Warrensky, but he told the Dallas Stars,
- 37:51Speaker 2: which is a fine organization.
- 37:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to play with you.
- 37:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 37:55Speaker 2: So obviously there's this movement of young amongst young players
- 37:59Speaker 2: that what average I have I'm going to use to
- 38:02Speaker 2: get where I want to play my hockey going forward.
- 38:05Speaker 2: And I don't really blame them for that. I don't
- 38:08Speaker 2: think that we should blame them for that. I like,
- 38:11Speaker 2: no one likes trades more than I do. But I also,
- 38:15Speaker 2: you know, if I'm if I'm that big of a
- 38:17Speaker 2: start and I'm that high in demand, I also want
- 38:21Speaker 2: to kind of if I've earned free agency, I want
- 38:24Speaker 2: to pick where I want to play going forward.
- 38:27Speaker 4: So yeah, and it's not me.
- 38:29Speaker 2: It's not like he turned down the Blue Jackets. No,
- 38:32Speaker 2: he was trying to keep the Blue Jackets from sending
- 38:34Speaker 2: him somewhere he didn't want to go. So it's a
- 38:37Speaker 2: trend it's going on in the National Hockey League and
- 38:39Speaker 2: the cracking word the.
- 38:40Speaker 4: Only victim correct. Yeah yeah, all right.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Coming up next headlines plus uh I still just don't
- 38:47Speaker 2: think Dan Wilson got it right, even in a win.
