  Speaker 2: I will come in and show it off. Well, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: have it done.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's got to be a new requirement for
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: anyone here. We are all well not all of us,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of us are in the colonoscophy phase of life.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So share it, show it off.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: My wife came and picked me up from the clinic
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: in Kirkland where I had it, and she said that
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I was so loopy from the sedation medication that I
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: was hitting on the nurses.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, in front of her.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: That's awesome, my wife of twenty eight years and and
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the nurse was just saying, if I go out with you,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I don't remember this. If I go out with you,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I would leave. I'd go out the window of a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: bathroom in the middle of the in the middle of
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: At least she was honest, that's.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: What I said. I said, I appreciate your honesty.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Well, we are doing the O Show, but a little
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: differently today because we always do the eight top stories
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of the week at eight o'clock.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I wanted just to lighten things up. I want to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I like the more casual approach. So we're just going
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to kind of move through discussing some of the bigger
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: topics of the day. And before I do get to that, though,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I just want to remind you guys, send us a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: text four nine four or five one the Tacoma Dodge
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: text line or on the YouTube chat let us know
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: how you would fix the Mariners. I will say this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You have to be able to go to the game tonight.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Please do not send in how you would fix the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Mariners if you can't go to the game tonight, because
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna pick you as a winner and then
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: find out you can't go, and then we got to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: scramble to find a new winner.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Two pairs of two tickets tonight Mariners against the Astros.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It's a six forty start, forty start. It is Echiero statue, Knight.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So you can get a miniature Echiero statue for your collection.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So put an next to your bobbleheads. I got a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: lot of those two. I would like a miniature Echiero
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: statue to That's right, That's right, Okay, So I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we can Well, you know what, We're gonna start our
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: top story right now because it is day two of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the Masters. We've got it on in front of us.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: We just saw this sea Yawk's head coach live in
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Augusta getting this swingland.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: He went to school outside of Atlantah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, Georgia, right, and he went to the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: University of Georgia. Yeah, so I think just you can
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: see one how how big of a deal he is now, right,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: because he's a Super Bowl champion, although he says he
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: hasn't changed at all this time last year.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They would not have put him on ESPN on the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: set of The Master.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: No, not even.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Him.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: There's there's the Seahawks head coach. What's his name again?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Is probably what they would.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You who's the coach?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that Mike McDonald? Oh yeah, okay, I've heard
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of him, but no, Today he was featured on The
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Master's pre stuff, which I still don't understand why The
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Masters does this, and Chuck and I had a conversation
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: about this yesterday off the air. They make it so
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: difficult to watch. You have to watch in the morning
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: on an app and then they start the live coverage
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at ten or eleven. Well, you're already showing everything from
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The Masters. Why don't you just show us the damn golf? Like,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to really watch you in your interviews
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: unless it's Mike McDonald. If we're going to watch an
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: hour of a conversation with Mike McDonald.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I'd be fascinated about the Amazon Prime spent millions and
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars to put live streaming as the exclusive.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It's annoying early in the round.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's why it's annoying.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Welcome to sports viewing in the twenty twenty six.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And you can watch like certain holes on the ESPN app.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But now they've got Nile Horn from one direction on.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I know, how did you know that by just looking
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: at him?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well, remember Greg, I do work from music stations too.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I had no idea who that was.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there you go.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: See and I was right, barely know who one direction is,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: but I do know that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. So anyway, Masters Day two, we
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: are giving you updates at twenty after the hour all
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: day long. Rory McElroy has not teed off yet. He
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is in the co lead, tied for the third lowest
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: round ever from a returning champion, So a pretty successful
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: day for him. I'd say, yeah, if there was any
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: pressure on him this year, I think it's off. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot of pressure to return as
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a Master's to be a returning or back to back
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Masters Champion. I think once you win it, your pressure
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is kind of off, wouldn't you think?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, and minus five says that he doesn't.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not feeling any pressure, you know.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Honestly, once they get on the course, especially in the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: early rounds, I would suspect it's another golf tournament for them. Yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: beautiful and a lot of people there, right, but they
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: do this every week, right, But I mean this is
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to this extent, but I'm saying the early rounds, yeah,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: it probably feels somewhat routine once it starts, not lead
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: up to it is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Certainly different, right, and then yeah, once Saturday and Sunday,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I mean yes, last year, yes, I think he had
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him and the year before because
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that was the one that it eluded him. But yeah,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he seems like he's just having a great time this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: week and as he should be, so that I think, yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: pressure off him now. The pressure is on Scottie Scheffler,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I think still because everybody just expects so much of him,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and I think and then leading up to it, people
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: were saying, oh, well, he just had a baby, so
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: maybe he's not going to be great, and then he's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: coming out and he's two unders so doing his Scottie
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Scheffler things. We had a conversation when we were picking
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: ours making our Fantasy Master's picks about who Chuck was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: asking me who I thought was gonna win. I said,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I honestly have no idea. This is the hardest year
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I've ever I've had the hardest time trying to figure
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it out. I picked Robert McIntyre in our golf draft.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: He's not dead last, but I think he's like, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: he's plus ten, thank you forgot how to play golf.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yesterday he had a quadruple bogie and flipped off the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: pond after because it stole his ball twice, so not
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: going is the pond's fault. But I liked that. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was like, oh see, these guys really are like us.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They get just as mad.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Why because your wife had a baby or you're going
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: to be bad at calf.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Well, because I don't think that it's it's just that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he's had other distractions. But I mean, this is less
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of a distraction than when his wife was going to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: go into labor at any minute.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I would call it a great life event rather than well.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But we have to remember in the sports world. People
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: don't think you should miss anything from the birth of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a child. They get annoyed when a Mariner misses a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: game for the birth of a child. I mean, like,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's not as big of a deal to an athlete
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: as it is to a normal person. So I guess
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Mariners now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It's a big deal to the athletes I cover, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: can tell you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, and as it should be, as I think we'd
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: all be worried if they were like, oh, yeah, I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: had a kid yesterday, like, and that was just the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: way they talked about it. Yeah, right, like oh yeah, sorry, man, No,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I just had a kid and it's fine.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I was fifteen minutes late, you know.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Like Minter Williams brought his baby to open a night
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: at the Mariners and baby I had to be days old. Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: How because she was pregnant at the Super Bowl yea.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And they did had the baby in early March, and yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: March twenty whatever it was.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, an opening day was the twenty six.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I remember our kid, we
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: had twins, but they didn't go out of the house
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: for a long time.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: He'll weigh have the energy yourself to get out there,
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: and the mom.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I know, I just remember being like, oh god, I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: gotta go to Target, and then my kid would just
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: have a meltdown and Target every time, and so I'd
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have to run out and go feedering it. And I'm like,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I just fed you. We tried to avoid this, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: something about Target now she loves it. So figure that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: one out. Mariners are back home tonight to face the Astros.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They are trying to improve from this four and nine start.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: How confident are you guys feeling that this is just
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: typical Mariner slow start, fluke and they're gonna get back
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to their normal ways in the next couple weeks.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not that worried. Yeah, I don't like it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: I don't like that this keeps happening every year, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: I'm not that concerned.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I think they will turn things around.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is Yeah, they're gonna be all right. Yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I know know that they're going to the World Series,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: but they're gonna be all right. They're going to contend.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: They're going to be a Pennant race here this summer. Yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: in the fall, I think it'll get back to normal.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Well in the World Series is an entire I mean,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that's just a different monster. There's a reason we haven't
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: been there before. And it's not because we haven't ever
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: had a good baseball team. I mean, we've had some
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: good baseball teams. It's hard to get to the World Series.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: We were eight six out, six outs, eight outs, eight
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: outs away. Sorry, I was trying to flush that from
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: my memory. I hate George Springer. Anyway, back at it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Tonight they are playing the Astros. Emerson Hancock will get
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the start for the Mariners. Tatsuya am I, well done, Yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: thank you. He's getting the start for the Astros have
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: lost four in a row.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: The Mariners have lost five in a row. I was
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: going to look up the last time these two teams
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: face each other, each losing at least four in a row.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: In Houston, they're saying the sky is falling because they
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: lost four in a row in Colorado and they've been
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: losing pitching left and right. They were like, who's going
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: to start this weekend? I don't know who they're going
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: to put into this weekend. So the American guys we
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: talked about the top of the show, all of them
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: have been pretty bad.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the Blue Jays. Their fans are going
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to lose their minds.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: The Detroit Tigers won the as we know when the
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Al Central was an opponent for the Mariners in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: first round of the playffs, they were also in last place. Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they are tied with the Mariners at four to nine
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: for the worst record in Major League Baseball after losing
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: last night to Minnesota.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So it's basically all of the Mariners' opponents from the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: playoffs last year, although we didn't play, you know, because
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Houston didn't make the playoffs last year. And I can't
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: laugh about that because we haven't made the playoffs in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: years that they remember.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: When I'm on the show, I have to calm the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: trash can. So that's what I'm going to start calling.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Them, all right, do it. Let's hopefully they don't bring
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: their trash can lids with them tonight.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: By the way, you can watch trash Cans at Mariners
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: tonight six forty on King five Television, a home of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Paul Sylvie and Chris Egan and the guys. Don't need Apple,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: don't need Amazon Prime, don't need Hulu, Juju whatever, you
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: just need King five and Rabbit Ears, and you can
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: watch the Mariners night first of ten games. All I
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: think all on Friday nights is on over the year
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: television tonight.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I will say, I mean, I don't. We
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit before the season started,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: but nobody knew what was going to happen with the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: TV and I literally, yeah, literally nobody until the day
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of the game. And then they're like, oh, okay, this
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: channel did just appear, and we.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Know why they did that. By the way, I'm sure
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: you've talked about it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: They were trying to steer everybody into the ninety nine
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: dollars Mariner TV package and they wanted to create panic
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: major League Baseball's plan. They told the Mariner this wasn't
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: the Mariner's fault, right, this was major League Baseball saying no, Mariners, no,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: every other team that had the same situation. You can't
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: announce where the games are going to be broadcast because
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: we want everyone to pay the ninety nine dollars and
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: do the season package. What of course ticked all of
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: you off, and I don't need to tell you, is
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: that the two of the first four games are not
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: part of that, right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I know, that's the thing we had Peacock and Apple.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Team couldn't watch two of them for to get a blackout.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Well, and it seems like a really stupid plan by
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball anyway, because how many people called back
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and were like, I want a refund. My game is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: available on TV. I'm not paying for this.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, you already spent.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I would have been livid. But it
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is about the dollar dollar bills, y'all.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It is what it is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a problem in sports especially, and I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: mean we've seen the conversation going on in the NFL
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: now about the you know, the way that they're broadcasting
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: games and forcing people in local markets to pay on apps.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've been pretty fortunate here that when a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: game is on an app, we do get it locally.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I think if we were on Netflix that wouldn't happen.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But with Amazon and the ESPN app, it's been on
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a local channel when it's been whenever it's on a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: cable channel, I think, well, I know with Amazon, at
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: least the Thursday night football games are on a local channel.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So the NFL contract with cable and streaming this goes
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: back to when ESPN and tn T first got the
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: NFL rights in the eighties and nineties. If it's on cable,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: if it's not on over the air television, they have
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to offer it to an over over the air in
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: station and both markets the game is being played. Rules
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: still exist, okay, which is why King Q thirteen, what
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Fox thirty, yeah, Box I think, and King five or
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: whoever broadcast games that are otherwise on cable or streaming.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: That's still the rule. Now, the Department of Justice is
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: now saying that they're going to look into the anti
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: trust exemption that allows the NFL to strike their own
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: deals with streaming and anybody else doesn't. The Department of
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Justice have a few other things that should be doing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I can name one.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Would I think, I feel like you could be busy,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, as a fan who pays
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a lot for apps to watch all the games, I'm like,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, if you want to help
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: figure this out so that we're not buying watching games
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on seventeen different apps and having to look every single
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I remember, remember the old days where you just had
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to find out what channel it was on.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, remember there's something called TV Guide that was Yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: you're not I remember TV Guide, Yeah, yeah, but those
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: were the days. For those that don't know what I'm
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: talking about, there used to be a publication printed and
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: it's a magazine that would just list the television listings
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: for that evening or for the week. Yeah, every night,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: by the night.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And then in the newspaper it would tell you where
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you could find all the local games too.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Right that actually happened.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, not so much, not so much. But
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: by the way, tonight again is Echio Statue Knight, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: we are giving way two pairs of tickets to each
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you Roo Statue Knight. All you have to do text
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: us at four nine four or five one the Tacoma
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Dodge text line, or hit us up on the YouTube chat.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Tell us how you would fix the Mariners. Be creative.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be fully believable, like swapping rosters
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers made me laugh. Not believable though, nothing
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we could actually do, although there are some other ones
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that we're pretty not believable at all, but we'll read
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: because they're funny. So we are going to announce a winner,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: two winners actually, at nine point thirty.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I love how pure The four two five says, it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: my daughter's birthday, so we'd love to go to the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Mariners game.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Oh that is nice. Well, if there's no one with
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a good answer, maybe you will like that, or just
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: send ask your daughter how she would fix the Mariners
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: on her birthday and then let us know. Krachen did
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: something we haven't seen in a while. They did get
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a win in a shootout last night, beating the Vegas
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Golden Nights four to three at CPA. So mathematically they
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: do still have a shot at the playoffs. I say
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that it is a very slim shot. They have four
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: games left. They are eight points out of the second
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: wild card spot, which means they've got to win out
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and hope for a lot of losses from the teams
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: ahead of them that is the King's Preds, Jets, Sharks,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and Blues. We do still play the Kings, so we
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: could at least have them one loss.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: The Kings cannot gain a point in the standings in
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: any of their four game means they have to lose
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: in regulation all four for the Crack and even have
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: a chance. They could win all four in regulation. By
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the way, if you missed the last hour Toddwick, you
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: see you over the crack and said Laye Lambert's coming back,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: said that he fully anticipates that. He said, coaching is
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: not one of the problems they think they need to fix. Yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: and they're the internal audit. I asked him about that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: If you missed, it can be on the podcast of
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: ninety three and I Heart Radio app. He also said
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the Sonics are He's been They're poised there. Yes, he said,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: we it's game on.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: We're working every day.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: He said, every day we're working on it. He said
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that we are poised to be the lead, but that
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: we are not going to get ahead of the NBA.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: He refused to specify at the timeline of when the
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: bids would go in, but it looks like it's going
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: to be in the summer. Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And he even like perked up a little bit when
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: we asked him about that, Like he's clearly.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah about the cracking coaching staff and are you going
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and bring bag Lee Lambor.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I mean we need to we need those questions answered. Greg.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, So looking at the schedule tomorrow, the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Kings do play, so I think if they win, we
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: would be eliminated by Yeah, if they go to overtime.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: They're playing Edmonton, so we'll have to keep our eye
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: out on that one. But it could be we could
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: know something as soon as tomorrow.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Mayor.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Mayor's the crack and play tomorrow as well at home
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: at four o'clock against the Calgary Flames. That game could
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: be heard right here on ninety three to three kJ.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Our pregame is at three thirty and Greg, we are
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: less than two weeks away from the NFL Draft. Have
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you created your draft draft, miss wish list?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: No? No, I have put together semi mock draft, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I will say just I think they're going to trade down.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: John Schneider has trade fourteen trades involving a first round
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: draft pick in sixteen drafts.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, I would be shocked if we picked at
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: thirty two.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And I'll move down. They'll get a pick, probably early
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: in round two. I've got some candidates, Houston, Cleveland, some
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: other teams. Arizona, although more rare in interdivision trade, especially
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: teams that think Ty Simpson might be available the Alabama
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: quarterback at the bottom of the first round. Who say Arizona, Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: not settled a quarter talking about that one. Yeah, could
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: move up. The Seahawks are going to dangle that pick,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: try to move down, get more than the four picks
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: to have. It would be the second fewest picks the
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Seahawks have ever had in the draft. Three the COVID
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: draft of twenty twenty one, which John Schneider said he
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: was gonna punt. But Schneider told me at the combine,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: told us the gaggle of Seattle reporters in Indianapolis, this
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: is by design to only have four picks.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, he doesn't love this draft, right, I.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Said, this is a weaker draft than last year and
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: next year. They had surmised this a couple of years ago.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: That's why they traded two third day picks for Rashid
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Shahid to the Saints in November. So he was in mine.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: It was only four And what.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Is it eleven or twelve picks in next year's draft
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that we have right now?
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Twelve twelve?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, that's fitting, Yeah it is.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: But I think running back is still absolutely in play.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Mike Washington, Junior from Arkansas, big bruising back, is scheduled
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: to have a thirty visit with the Sea They are
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: interested in engineering price the second running back at Notre Dame,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: not Jendarian Price. Price not the top running back that's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: going to go.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Not Jeremiah Love.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Love He's going to go probably top five, maybe not
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: even sooner than that. But Price. They talked to his
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: running back coach at reportedly at the Notre Dame Pro Day.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: They are interested in him as well. I think edge rusher, corner,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: offensive defensive line deps.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well yeah, just less than two weeks
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: away from the NFL Draft, and we are going to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: come back with Sup. By the way, so we're going
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to need your contributions here as well. It is our
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: little interaction with the listeners. All you got to do
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: send a text, say Sup and point your question whoever
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you want, Travis greg or myself. We're going to get
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to those next after an update from AUGUSTA.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: From the R and R.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now back to Chuck and Bug
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: in the Morning, powered by two Leila Prezor Casino Draft Kings,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Sportsbook for the Action Never Stops on Sports Radio ninety
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: three point three kJ R FM.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three three kJ r FM. It is Ashley, Ryan,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: greg Bell, Travis mger In for Chuck and Buck today,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So sorry, no Chuck and Buck. You get the three
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of us instead. And we are taking your questions on
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the Tacoma Dodge text line four nine four five one.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: All you got to do is send the text with
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a SUP and then who you're directing to that, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: we are gonna answer that. We're also going to look
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: at some of the ways that people are suggesting we
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: fix the Mariners. We're gonna pick a winner at nine
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: point thirty, but we can bring up some of them
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and have a look and discuss that as well. The
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: first question is for you Greg from Eric's up. Greg,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: will we talk about the Seahawks doing hard knocks this year?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on it?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: They don't like it. This is not my Eric, by
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the way, my spinner. Yeah, they don't like it. As
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: John Schneider said, we've been trying to avoid this for
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: seven We have avoided it for seventeen years. He's been there.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: But the NFL changed its rules recently. Used to be
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: until very recently, the NFL would only make eligible to
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: be picked for hard knocks teams that didn't make the
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: playoffsupproat next year. And now they've changed it. And now
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: they've Actually this is the twenty fifth edition of Hard Knocks.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: They're going back to what the very first one was
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: in a defending Super Bowl champion they did the Baltimore
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Ravens in two thousand and one was the very first
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: HBO Hard Knocks by NFL Films, and so this is
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: going back to that. John Schneider said, I wrote the
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: News Tribute a story about it, but he said, we're
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: going to try to be as entertaining and interesting as
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: we can be without revealing anything.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if anyone can do it, they can.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: They can. And now the Hard Knocks, as I understand,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I don't watch it. Eventually, I'll have to watch it
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: this summer more than I ever have because if they
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: reveal something that they won't give to us, which happens
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: a lot, it is different than it has been in
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the past. It's not quite as intrusive. The New York
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Giants got burned with how intrusive they were in the
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: off season one about Saquon Barkley and what they were
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: going to do with them and the Yeah, private conversations
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: got blasted out for the whole world to see.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whoopsie Doodle and teams.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Ever since then have had a little more editorial control.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I suspect the Seahawks will have some editorial control over
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: what gets aired, maybe not what gets filmed, but what
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: actually gets aired and meeting rooms, locker room, off the
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: field type of stuff. But they just don't want their
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: vibe in their brotherhood and their culture revealed to anybody.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I get that they don't want to keep it to
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: themselves and hoard it and make it secret to everybody.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you share what makes it special, it doesn't
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: become as special anymore. I completely understand that. I will
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: say though, from a fan perspective, I'm pumped to watch
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: kind of some behind the scenes stuff and feel like
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: maybe we get to learn a little bit more about
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: this team that we all love so much. But I
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: also have a little apprehension because I do want the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: magic to remain in the magic for the Seahawks and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: not for everybody else.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Right, And that's the concern. I will say this, This
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: team last year, this year under Mike McDonald, more than
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: any other Seahawks team I've covered, including back to Mike
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Holmgeran in the early two thousands. The intangibles matter to them. Yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: and they actually have an on the field. It matters
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: on the field. Product is the intangibles, the brotherhood, the
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: twelve is one. All of that stuff does really have
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: a tangible impact on the game, and intangibles go all
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: the way. Till I wrote a story published this morning
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: in the News Tribune their draft picks and who they're
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: looking at picking the intangibles of competitiveness they are really
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: really learning. John Schneider said when they got back the
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: years after they won the Super Bowl in twenty fourteen,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: they drafted guys who were in awe of Richard Sherman
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: and Earl Thomas and Cam Chancellor and Marshaun Lynch, who
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: wouldn't compete. The practices were not nearly as competitive as
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: they were before they won the Super.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Even though they were supposed to always be competing.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Pete Carroll's mantra. But they they said they
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: brought in guys who were reverential to these stars, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: John Schnader says, I'm looking for dogs this time that
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: are competitive and don't Devin Witherspoon comes to mind as
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: someone who wouldn't give a rip if he had come
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: into defending Super Bowl champion. But that's harder to define, right,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: It's easy to see forty yard dash times in their
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: performance on the field. It's harder to judge a person's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: competitiveness and know it when you haven't been around them before.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: So they got a lot of digging to do about that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: But that's the biggest in tangible to this Seahawk draft
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: is the competitiveness of the players they draft. They want
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: dudes who are not in awe of the defending Super
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Bowl champs, and that's a challenge. Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I trust them to be able to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: pull those dudes out and figure out who they are. Travis,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: are you excited to watch the Seahawks on hard Knocks?
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: I am excited, but I actually I want to know
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: if Greg thinks that this will hurt the team at all.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think it'll tangibly. It'll annoy them. Mike McDonald,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I can tell you what.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Oh he's going to be annoyed, Yeah, for sure.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: But I don't think it'll actually have effect.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: No.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Then I'm excited, Okay, good, Yeah exactly. I'm like, yeah,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: as long as we're not ruining anything. Greg, you got
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: another one here, sup? Greg? Are you buying the Pittsburgh
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Sports hype and who is your favorite twin? This might
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: be from your eric.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: This is from the second question gives out away the
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh sports hype. The Pirates just eclipsed cold Emerson's deal
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: with Conor Griffin, their new shortstop, who at twenty years
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: old is already married, by the way, and got a
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: hundred plus million dollar contract, just got called up last.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Week nine years one.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's guaranteed in major Baseball, unlike the NFL,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: So he's getting one forty No matter what, How would
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: you like to be missus Connor Griffin right now?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't hate being married to anyone who had a million dollars.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Native of Mississippi. The whole family was at the first
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: gear watched the Pirates open home opener that he was at.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: The Penguins made the playoffs for the first time in
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: three years. Mike McCarry, the Pittsburgh's own, has returned to
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: be the Steelers.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Oh God, there was that AI generated image of him
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: at the bar and everyone it's like, oh look, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: was like, no, that is not a real picture of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy at the bar.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: And now Pittsburgh is the Steelers are waiting for the
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: same thing they waited for this time last year, Aaron
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Rodgers to say whether he's going to play or not.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Come on, I can tell you true Steeler fans, people
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: from the Pittsburgh area like I am, they don't care
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: for Aaron Rodgers.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I don't care for Aaron Rodgers either, and I'm from here.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I just think he's he likes to make it all
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: about himself, especially at this time, and that's annoying. I mean,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you're I don't know, don't I think? I would say
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I think the Steelers could do better, But I don't
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: know that they can right now because I don't know
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: who another option would be. But I guess Russell will
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: for a team.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Will Howard is who they drafted out of Ohio State
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: last year, and they wanted to give him a long
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: run in the preseason, and then he got hurt and
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: he missed most of the season. So a lot of
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: people in Pittsburgh say, give Will Howard a chance, try
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: it just but that would be starting over with a
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: new coach. They didn't bring in Mike McCarthy. I don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: think to start over. That was a that was a
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: try to sustained type of a hire. We'll see who's
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: my favorite twin Eric and Sarah my favorite two.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Oh good answer answer.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: We're going back next but to the Coast Guard Academy
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: in Connecticut to see our daughter graduat and become an ensign.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: We're pretty excited.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this came from the dad who's no,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: this is not the dad whose daughter's birthday is today,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: but we have a great response for how to fix
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the Mariners. This is from Juniper. Her dad is a
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: ron Aaron, and she is twelve. She says she believes
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: we should swap out the visiting team's big league chew
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: with some laxative gums that she is calling big league pooh.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: The batters will then have to poop so bad they'll
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: swing at everything just to get back to the dugout.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: That's definitely a twelve year olds.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's I honestly, you know what, Juniper might
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: be one of the best answers we're going to see
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: all morning. I'm just going to tell you right now
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that might actually work, and I'm not above it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: I would take some big lead poo to pranks of
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: my friends.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know this is a genius, So yeah, Juniper,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: you need to market this.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Chuck probably taking big league pooh right at this moment.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Probably is. Yes, if you missed the news, Chuck out
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: for a colonoscopy today. He's excited to show it off
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: on Monday. So beat mixture, you're tuning in. Let's see, sup.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: The intangibles matter and the Mariners and the can Cal
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Randy thing has caused a rift between the Latin players
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and Cal. As dumb as it sounds, Do you guys
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: believe that? I don't believe that.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: No.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was a small thing that got blown
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: into a big thing and made bigger because the two
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: of them weren't near each or. I mean, yes, they
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: were near each other, but weren't able to get together
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. I think as soon as Cal
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: got back to Peoria they talked about it. It was fine.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I you know, Randy made his apology saying I shouldn't
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: have said the things I said. Afterwards, I think Randy
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: made it a bigger thing because I think he was offended,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and I can understand why he would have been offended.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I wish Cal would have just given him a fist
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: bump or tapped his leg with his gloves something just
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge him and then none of this would have
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: been an issue. But I also can understand from Col's
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: perspective why he didn't do it. So yeah, I think
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: it got blown into a bigger thing. And I don't
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: think that's what's causing the problem right now. No, No,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: And I blame Mark de Rosa for everything. Well, it
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: would be nice for him to have known the rules
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of when you have to win, and when you have
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: to when you're okay to lose, and when you've already
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: made it to the next round and other things. Yeah,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: that would have been I don't think he'll be back
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to the I would guess not. I would guess not.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I think that was our last time seeing de Rosa
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: as the manager. And you know, he did a good
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: job the first time, or at least a mistake free job,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: it seemed like the first go around. This time not
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: so much. He was in spotlight too much. We shouldn't
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: be talking about a manager as much. All right, Well,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: thank you guys for your text If you have more,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you can send them. We'll read them throughout the show.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Four nine, four or five one is the Tacoma Dodge
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: text line and the Mariners are facing the Astros tonight.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I just broke my pen because I think I was
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: so amped up about this. So we need to talk
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: about what is going to take for the Marriagers to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: get off this losing skid and really what would be
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: considered a successful weekend. We're gonna have that conversation next.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: It's Sports Radio ninety three three KJRFM from.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: The R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now back
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: to Chuck and Buck in the Morning powered by two
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Leila Prezort, Casino, Draftking, Sports Book or The Action Never
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Stops on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: It is Sports Radio ninety three three kJ r F.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: M Ashley, Ryan, Greg Bell, and Travis Moger in for
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck Today. Masters pre stuff on TV. But
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I did get a text or sea text that they
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: said the coverage on Amazon Prime is phenomenal.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: We just don't have the ability to watch that in here,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and that makes me sad. That's all right, I'll watch
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: when I get home. Okay, Mariners tonight at home against
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the Astros, trying to shake off this five game losing streak.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: The Astros coming in on a four game losing streak.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I know it seems or feels kind of like the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: sky is falling because here it is another season where
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: we're starting off terribly I mean not slow, it's a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: terrible start. Four and nine, and it feels like, yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: here we go again, Groundhog Day, another terrible start. If
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: only we could come out of the gate hot, that
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: would be so much better. I agree. I mean, coming
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: off spring training and the optimism that you have for
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: this whole season, especially after last year, to start this
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: way is incredibly frustrating. And I'm only hoping that the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Astros who just got swept by the Rockies might be
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: in a worse space than than the Mariners. I mean,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: record wise, they're six and seven, so they're a little
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: bit better. They did win five in a row before
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: they went on this losing streak. So I guess we're
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: asking people how they're going to fix the Mariners, and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: we are going to have that conversation later your suggestions
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to fix the Mariners. So far, the leader in the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: clubhouse is big league poo. But I just think, what
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: is it going to take for you guys to consider
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: this weekend successful? Is it sweeping the Astros. Is it
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: just winning the series? Is it just not getting swept? Like,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: what are our expectations right now? How low are they
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: for this team?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: This should this team should beat most teams that come
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: in here in the park, cooler weather, the pitching staff
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: that they have, they should win pretty much every series.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: They should they again at home, especially, I think with
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: the pitching they have, if they just catch the ball,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: throw the ball at little league quality, and hit the
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: ball with any kind of major league ability, they have
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: a pitching staff to win these series. Yeah, they should
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: win the series. In Houston, they're talking about, man, how
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: are we going to find four pitchers to pitch all weekend?
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: And they they are coming out of Colorado a mess
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: that they have to be determined as their starting pitchers
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: on Sunday. In Monday, it's a four game series by
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: the way, that goes into Monday afternoon.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Oh it doesna ten first.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Pitch on a Mattiney. It's the only Monday afternoon game
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: of the season at Team Mobile Park this season, by
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the way. And the Mariners starters are hancocked Castillo, Gilbert,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: and George Kirby this weekend. I think they went three
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: out of four, although if they don't, it's only April.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: That's really they're gonna be. I think they're gonna be
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: contending again by Midsummer early summer.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Is splitting the series good enough for you, Trevis?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: No?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see the series win.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, if they split the series and the Bats
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: wake up, I think I'll be content with that. But
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: obviously the Astros are not playing good baseball right now.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: You want to beat them, Yeah, And I think the
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: offense needs to do something well.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: And if you can't get fired up for playing the Astros,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: who we just absolutely hate, then I feel like we've
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: got a real problem if we can't get things together
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: for them coming into town.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: So what we haven't talked about all morning with the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Mariners is what a lot of fans are cold Emerson.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Do you bring him up and make him the third basement?
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Now you're paying him already ninety million dollars, he's in Tacoma.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Brandon Donovan we mentioned in the first hour, is all
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: statistical measures, the worst everyday third basement in Major League
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Baseball so far and eleven starts, he is the second
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: most air is the worst fielding percent, is the worst
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: range factor.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: All sad in spring training. He was very nervous about
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: doing this, about that he did not know how it
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: was going to go, and he has a lot to learn.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: But he's your best hitter right now, the only one
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: over three hundred, the one that's slugging six hundred, the
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: ops of one point zho twenty seven three home runs
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: in eleven games. So you keep him in the lineup,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: but you put him in the outfield where he played
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: some in Saint Louis. Do you put him at second base?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You take Randy A Rose Raina out out of left field.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Then you don't take the cold Yurn the way he's played.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: You keep him at second base. And do you bring
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: cold Emerson in at third? I mean, you don't put
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: a gold glove fielder as a dah So it's not
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: like you can put Brandon Donovan there. He was a
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: gold Glover a couple of years ago with Saint Louis.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: But I think it is a legitimate question. Although Emerson,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: remember is primarily a shortstop. He has played some a
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: one game this year out of tan at third base,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: but some in the past, but a small percentage at
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: third base. But he's mostly been a short stop, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: we mentioned the third base is there's some adjustment there,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: but if you're a major league player, you should be
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: able to make plays with Brendonman has not made it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say Brendan Donovan should be making
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: those plays.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Of course he admits that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I do think he's going to get better. It's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: just frustrating to watch as it. As the season has started,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: all of the things that can go wrong have gone wrong.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I say, bring cold Emerson up. You're already paying him
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: ninety million dollars. I mean, he's what he's your future.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: If it's not shortstop now, if JP Crawford is going
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: to stay there at least the time being, I don't.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know they're waiting on other than maybe they
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: don't want to put him into a lineup that's already struggling.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I think they want to just want to make sure
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: they get him enough at bats prior to come in here,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: which I can understand. But you don't want to rush
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: it right because if you bring him up too early
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and he's not ready for it, the last thing you
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: want is to have to send him down. And so
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's what they're just being a
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: little bit more cautious to make sure when they call
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: him up there.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: But he couldn't be worse than most of those guys
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: in the lineup right now. Even if he went one
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: for twenty, he would be about on average with what
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: everybody else's time.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I do agree with that, and that's been the biggest
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: disappointment is watching how Cal and Julio and Josh Naylor
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: have been. I mean, what one home run between the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: three of them. And I would like this team to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: not live and die by the home run.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: But oh, let's talk about that. Yeah, but situational hitting
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: that is thirteen thirteen strikeouts a game. Yeah, one hundred
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: and thirty three strikeouts on the seawell ten they played
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: thirteen games, ten strikeouts, thirteen against Texas the other day. Yeah.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: By the way, Cold Emerson ten games with Triple A
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Tacoma with the Rniers. In thirty nine at bats three
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: IO eight, batting three forty one on base forty seven,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: slugging eight twenty eight ops. He's got one home run,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: five RBIs. He's made nine stars at shortstop, one at
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: third base. That's what he's been doing in Tacoma.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, at this point. I'm really willing to look
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: at anything whatever is going to turn this around, because
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I do not want to. I think I would agree
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: with Travis. I think you need to win the series.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think splitting this series is enough to get
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: people to be at least content with what happened this weekend.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I think you sweep the series. Everyone's like, oh, what
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: bad start. Not really, they're still going to remember it.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: But you're in a much better position, obviously, being eight
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: and nine versus the or sorry, seven and nine. There's
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: only I can do math No. Eight and nine four
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: plus four. Yeah, you're right, got it. So we'll get
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: there eventually. I haven't had coffee.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Call em up, That's what I say.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: We'll see what.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Happens to play a triple A. I don't know about that.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: We are going to fix the Mariners at nine thirty,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: so make sure you're staying tuned for that, and we
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: are going to talk to at least Woodward. Next, it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three three kJ RFM.
