• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The YouTubers get the dancing.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really enjoying it right now.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Boy, they're all in a great mood today.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Are they sarcasm hashtag sorrow people on it? I don't
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: even know. That's a great question. Don't ask them, though.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Give me an idea.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Apparently we aren't loud enough in the chat. I guess.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what that means.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: We're not we're not participating in it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Well, and I try, but you know, I don't know
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: if you know this.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: We're running a radio show, okay, right, yeah, and so
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I'll so somebody was going like, there's.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: An expression called old dog new tricks.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, working on it over here. Yeah, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: someone was writing like ten texts in a row talking
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: about and I was like, what are you talking about?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: And now I'm rude because I asked what they were
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: talking Were they.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Just one person? Because I don't worry about that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Oh No, there's another person.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: There's a couple other people who just like but they're
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: just negative every day.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So we just move on from that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know, there's always that person that just wants
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to come on to complain about everything you do.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But they're still there.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, I say, hey, welcome fun, thanks for being here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Ma'am, ma'am. Well, at least everybody else got the dancing today.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We're enjoined. You're welcome. I know I got a little
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: few of you, a little steamy under the collar, a.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Bit hold on, let me look, yeah, held and I'm
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: still looking.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably a couple of you fellas are like, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: don't even swing that way.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but man, I might consider it now, might consider
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it now.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Those moves, Oh, they just aren't typical of sports talk
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: radio hosts.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: That's the truth.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the you know, that's what YouTube's going
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to unlock for us, no doubt about it. Good morning
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to you. It is Chuck and Ashley. We roll into
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: our nine o'clock hour. We do have Miracle at thirty
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: fourth pick coming up a little bit later on this hour,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: brand new Draft Miss feature this year on Chuck and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning, our Draft Miss coverage, and one
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: last thing to close out the week. Certainly a lot
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to do, there's no question about it. As we are
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: now just nine sleeps away from the actual NFL Draft Day,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we've got a baseball team that has turned things around,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: or at least it appears four straight wins over the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Houston Astros, and I get it. The Astros are beat
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: up right now, and I say good, And I'm not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: saying that as somebody that hates the Astros. I'm saying
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that as you took advantage of an opportunity that they
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: gave you, and you didn't give them one break the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: entire weekend if they're going to miss the strike zone.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I thought, those are some really good at bats by
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the team. You ended up earning twenty seven walks and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the four games against the Houston Astros. Twenty seven walks now,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: on one end, a little bit of a broken pitching staff,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, it's not that like they
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: were miss by a mile. You were forcing them to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: pitch to throw strikes to you they were missing. We
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: now have this handy dandy ABS Challenge system where we
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: can't have an umpire behind home plate who's tired of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: calling balls or as sympathy for the pitcher. They've got
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to call it straight up or they're getting tired because
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the innings lasting long. We're trying to take that human
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: element out of the sport. And so we had a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: lot of good at bats and we couple those with
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: some big hits, and that's really how they've operated offensively
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the last few years. We've really struggled organizationally putting the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: ball in play, but hit a lot more home runs
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: than what T mobile is used to seeing. And they
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: get a lot of walks. They do get a lot
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of walks. And so that combination was on full display
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in these four games against the Houston Astros. And you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: end up winning all four. You scored twenty nine runs
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in the process. You had scored six in the previous
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: three game series total against the Texas Rangers. And yet
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the Mariners don't have a single game against the Astros
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: where they scored fewer than six runs. And so again,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: good on you. I mean, it's not giving the other
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: team a break. It's not being satisfied with three out
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of four and winning a series. It's having an opportunity
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: on Monday afternoon with a distinct pitching advantage starting wise
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Kirby versus Burrows, to go out there and make a statement.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Take all four of them, show no mercy. You know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it doesn't prove that they're back on track and they're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: back where we want them to be. But sitting here
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at eight to nine four game winning streak. All of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you gained a lot of ground in a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: very short period of time. But most importantly Ashley, they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: took advantage of their opportunity and it kind of feels
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: like they're on track.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's all you can do, right is you
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: can play the team that's on your schedule and it
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter so how many injuries they have or what
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: kind of decimation they're facing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: You got to play them. You gotta beat them, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And you know that's going to happen to us as
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: well well as the season goes on. We'll deal with
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: injuries and things of that nature, and you just have
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to You can only do what you can do. You
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: can only play the team you're playing. And I'm so
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: glad that they came out of that with a sweep.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I think looking at the injuries, we would have thought,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: oh well, we went into the into the weekend saying
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: they have to win this series. I wasn't going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: take a split. I didn't want that. I wanted fully
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: back on track. I didn't ask for a sweep. I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: it would have been great, but I wasn't trying to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: be too selfish. I just thought with the way that
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Houston was looking right now, taking three out of four
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: seemed very doable, especially with the pitching we have, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: so for them to have come out with the sweep
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: was just the icing on top of the cake.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Honestly, Yeah, well got the job done. And look, like
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't know if it's completely righted at
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: this point, but you did mostly dig out of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: hole that you created for yourselves. That's on you. Mostly
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: dug out of that hole. And so you're sitting here
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with almost at the even mark, with a thousand games
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: remaining in the regular season, to prove that, yes, we
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: are much better than our Al West foes, and I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: still believe that not only will they end up in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, not only do I believe they will end
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: up Division champs. I think this will eventually be a
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: lot easier season. But they have to put us through
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: some sort of turmoil. They can't help themselves, and it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: always feels worse when it is at the beginning of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the year. But to sit here at eight and nine,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: not great, not exactly what you were hoping for. It's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: nothing good, not what you were hoping for. Certainly seventeen
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: games into the year, we were all hoping for just
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a better start for once. It didn't happen. But if
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you're riding the ship now, great, no worries whatsoever. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: so you're sitting here at eight and nine with cal
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Rawley still hitting one fifty four, and even though Josh
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Naylor hit two home runs yesterday, still just two extra
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: base hits this entire season, and Julio, even though he's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: hitting the ball a lot harder, just did get his
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: nose above the two hundred mark. So for you to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have a total of five home runs between those three
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: guys seventeen games into the year, still collectively hitting well
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: below two hundred on the year, every single one of
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: them with a sub two ninety slugging average, and you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: eight nine, I would have thought it been worse. So
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I said this last week, I'll remind you of it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: again that if you believed a week ago before the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Astro Series that cal Raley, Julio Rodriguez, and Josh Naylor
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: had in the offseason became the three worst hitters in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball than panic, but all three of them
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: are showing signs of coming out of it. I think
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Cal a little slower than the other two, but they're
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: all showing signs of coming out of it. I know
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they all will eventually come out of it. And when
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they do come out of it, you saw what just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: one of them hitting can do. In again, he knocked
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in five of the six runs yesterday. So I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: there are great signs Josh Naylor's out of it. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: think there are great signs Julio's out of it. We
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: still got to get Cal, He's still got a little
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: ways to go. But to get those three going, I mean,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: makes a world of difference for the.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Mariner Yeah, just absolutely a world of difference.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And if you would have told me before the season started,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: La Mariners are going to start four and nine and
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: then Houston comes to town for a four game series,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I would have thought, oh, no, this is gonna get
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: up great. So, I mean, I just you never know
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: what's gonna happen. You can't play the game on paper.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: You got to just see what's happening. But if you
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: would have said, oh, by the way, they're four and
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: nine and these guys aren't hitting and Houston's coming to town,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I would have thought, again, we might get swept.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So for them to.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: All starting or seemingly be starting to warm up. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: mean it seems like a slow warm up because I
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: think we've had this conversation a couple times where Cal's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: gotten a hit or Julio's gotten a hit and we're like, oh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: maybe this, maybe.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: This is it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: But it does seem to be a slow, yeah, transition
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: into getting the hitting going for them. And that's all
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: right because the team seems to be picking them up.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, maybe it's not a slow Maybe it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: just like Josh Naylor was just a little bit off. Yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: as I said all last week, just a little bit off,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he's on. Maybe he
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: goes on a tear. Maybe, I mean, maybe Julio's ready
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to go on a tear at this stage. And if
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: those two guys are on a tear, then I mean
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it shows you. I mean, everybody that wants the panic
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in the month of April, for goodness sake, in four days,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you're out of that hole.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Well, and that's what we talked about last You said
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: they could be out of it by next week, and
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: people were like, oh.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're not. Well, look at that one game
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: below five.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Nine, and they're facing a better team in the San
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Diego Padres. Yea a healthier team starting tonight, and you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: don't want to backslide at all. But even San Diego
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think quite as good as they've been the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. I've called them a World Series
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: contender each of the last two years, and two years
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ago they probably should have won the World Series and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they gagged against the Dodgers, had a two oh series
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: lead and couldn't hold onto.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I was disappointed.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: They were the better team that year. That gets lost
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in the history of it all. They were the better
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: team that year and gagged it away. And then last
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: year I thought they were a really good team again.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And I think they're a good team now, maybe slightly less.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: They have won five straight games. They are ten and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: six on the year, but they're only hitting two twenty
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: seven as a team. They have a six ninety five
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: team OPS at this point, so they're not exactly hitting
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the cover of off the ball either. But what you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: do want to do against the San Diego Padres is
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not betrayling in the eighth inning because Mason Miller is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: off to one of the greatest starts in baseball history.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: You don't think about that with a reliever. But I'm
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: not saying he's off to one of the great starts
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: for a reliever in baseball history. He is off to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: one of the great starts for any player in baseball history.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: The Padres closer has faced twenty four batters so far
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this season and struck nineteen of them.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty good.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: That's impossible.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I saw someone had put together, like I wish I
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: had saved it, but like his whole stat line of
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: what he's done, Oh, that he's I mean, it's just incredible.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: They put it basically like if he pitched a whole
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: if he'd been pitching in one game, how it would
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: have looked. And I was just blown away by it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean nineteen k's and seven and a third inning,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: so he's allowed one hit to this point, he's walked
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: one batter. And then if you take the WBC where
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he was just disdominant for Team America. Mason Miller, we
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: all knew was one of the best closers in the game.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: We all know that he throws one hundred and three
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: hundred and four miles per hour and he's got a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: nasty wipeout slider. But all the times we've seen Mason
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Miller pitch with the A's the last couple of years,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and fortunately we weren't trailing a lot against the A's,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But when he came into the game, you're like, well,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: this game's over. Well he's better now than he's ever
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: been in his young career. And so that's waiting for
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you at the end of every single game in San Diego.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And the best way to avoid ever seeing Mason Miller
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: is to be winning.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yaay, So start winning early and just keep.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: It up right, right, So let's just go ahead and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: not be losing going into the ninth and everything will
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: be just fine. So, yes, that's the match up here
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for the next three days against the San Diego Padres.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: But let's spend the rest of our time this segment
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: talking about what's coming, the inevitability of what's coming. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this is a good thing. This is a great problem
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to have, There's no question about it. So I'm not
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: sitting here complaining. There are a lot of teams that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: don't even have someone as good as Bryce Miller as
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: their number one starter, much less to be sitting there.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to get our number five starter back, despite
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: all of the chaos that it could create. But news
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: yesterday that Bryce has just done a bullpen session that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: was positive enough that he's going to start on a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: reab assignment, and that reabssignment could go one game, could
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: go three games. I mean, it's not like an arm
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that he's coming back from or I mean it's an
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: oblique So I would assume you're just trying to get
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: him back into pitching condition. It's not about the injury anymore.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: He's out of the woods on that front. It's just
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: trying to get him back, get his pitch count up,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: get his velocity where it needs to be, and then
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: then you activate him. Well, they might kick this can
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: down the road a little bit. I mean, we still
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: just have a short sample size on new and improved
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Emerson Hancock. And certainly nobody's gonna want to make the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: decision of demoting Luis Castillo to the bullpen. Nobody wants
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to do that to the Rock. Everybody loves the Rock
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in the organizations, especially the starting pitchers. They adore him.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: He's like their big brother and they I mean he's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the leader of the group. I mean, there are a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: lot of leadership qualities in that group, but there's no
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: doubt Louis the daddy.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they all have a massive amount of respect
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And he's not pitching well right now, and so certainly
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: they're not going to want to make a decision of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: putting Luis Castillo in the bullpen at any point. That
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: is just not going to be a comfortable conversation. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: what do you do? I mean, I think Bryce Miller
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is going to have a great year this year, and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: when he's ready, I want him in the starting rotation.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I also don't want to demote Emerson Hancock because, man,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that is a real kick in the teeth because next
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to Brian Wu, he's pitching better than anybody right now,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and statistically even better than Wu. And man, that's hard
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: for him to have gone through the journey he's gone through.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Who watched all of his best buddies surpass him and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: lap him in this race toward wins at the major
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: league baseball level. He spent more time in Tacoma than
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: he ever wanted to spend while his best friends are
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: pitching thirty miles up the road at t Mobile in
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: front of forty thousand in a cathedral. Tacoma's great love it,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: but that's not exactly what Emerson Ancock wants to be
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: doing this year the way he's pitching right now, So
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that would be a real kick to the gut, Like
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: what do I have to do to stay in this
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: starting rotation? But it's a numbers game. I do not
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: want to see this go to a six man rotation.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I think that there's the fear that it messes up
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: everybody a little bit, and I don't want to do that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: George seems to be on a roll right now. Logan
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: finally pitched a really good game, Brian's off to another
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: great start. So I don't want to go to a
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: six man rotation. I don't want to send anybody to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the bullpen. As was suggested by Ryan Heaey yesterday. This
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: isn't a demotion to Tacoma for Emerson, but it could
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: be a demotion to the bullpen. Don't want to do that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's a completely different job, that's a completely different regiment.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Right now, he is on a roll. I don't know
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what to do. I really don't. And so the idea
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of maybe Bryce could be ready after one rehab start
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: will probably turn into wouldn't kill us to give him
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: three rehab starts just to buy you some time. So
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you're getting further out of short sample size for new
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and improved Emerson Hancock, and then you get two or
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: three more looks to try to get Luis back on track.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And it also would afford you the opportunity to make
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: sure Bryce is one hundred percent ready to go. But
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you're looking at most three rehab starts at most, so
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that's fifteen days. So that's two weeks to try and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to decide exactly what we're going to do with this rotation.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: It's a great problem to have, but it is a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: different goal one to solve. Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean goodness, I am so thrilled that we
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: have too many great pitchers. But but yeah, I think
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: the one thing that I would hate to see the
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: most is Emerson Hancock sent back to Tacoma. I just
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: think that would be a travesty for this young man
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: who has been who has done everything they've asked of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: him every single time, not just this year.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: He has done everything they've asked of him.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: He's come up to the bullpen when they needed him.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: He has come up and filled in for injured pictures
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: when they needed him, and that's what he's doing right now,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: and he's doing a stellar job, and that would be
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: really demoralizing for him to say, Okay, so I just
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: went up and kicked some butt and even that's not enough.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And I also can't have Bryce suffer that he was
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: our best picture in the playoffs last year. I can't
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: have Bryce Miller come back and I'm like, oh, we
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: don't want to rock the boat.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Can't penalize someone because they got injured.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a feel Those Rainier uniforms are sharp.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They are great unformforms, great merch.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I can't do that to him either, And
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can. But one of those things,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can hurt Luis Casteel's feelings.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I agree, but one of those things has to happen
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: without some other element falling into place. As they often say,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you know, often these things take care of themselves. But
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what if it doesn't. Like we said, this is a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: great problem to have, but it is not an easy
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: thing to solve. And it looks like you're looking about
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: two weeks to try to figure out exactly how this goes.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I actually think the worst thing is to put him
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen. And I know that flies in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: face of what Ryan told us yesterday, But right now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I want to keep Emerson on the five day rotation.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have him go down, get his
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: rhythm thrown out of whack, and then ask him to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: come back and ask him to change his rhythm again.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: So I think I kind of want to keep him
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: on a five day rotation, five game rotation. And if
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: that's Tacoma, that's Tacoma, and he's going to have to understand.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like doing that. I'm just saying I think
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I would hate sending him to the bullpen where he
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't know when he's gonna pitch or how Yeah, it's.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: One thing to do that during the playoffs, but at
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: this point in the season, yeah, that's a tough thing
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: to do, right.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And then at some point you'll probably have to ask
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: him to go back and that jerking around. And these
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: players today, especially these pitchers, are such slaves to their routine.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if I do that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm not the one in charge of making
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: that choice.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I said it last week. I trade Castillo free and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a half. That's what I would do. Yeah, and that
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: frees it up because Kate Anderson looks like he's gonna
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: be ready a lot sooner than anybody thought if we
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: need him, if we need him to be all right.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on the radio program, Yes, it's our
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: brand new feature on this Draftmas season. Oh, it's that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: old holiday classic. Don't you believe that the draft is real?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: It's miracle at thirty fourth pick next. There's still a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: lot of people out there that don't entirely believe in Draftmas.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Yep uh, and every year we have to convince them
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that it's real.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a sad thing to.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Its real as the pants you're wearing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: They're real.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I suppose it's one of those things you just take
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: for granted, right, You think everybody must have that same
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: spirit within them, and when they don't, they just don't
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: know what's there.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: You just don't always get extracted.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that it's there, it's within you. You just gotta
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: pull it out.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I was telling Unicorn that just the other day.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that what you're telling?
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was glad you weren't telling your doctor at
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: the colonoscopy, But.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, while you're down there, you might
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: want to extract some draftness spirit out of me as well,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: because I got plenty to share.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: It's contagious, right, you bottle it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Up, maybe shoot it inside. The next person that comes
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: in share it. Yeah, this isn't just about scoping.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: No, that's not Draftmas.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: That's a I know you're not an injection side here,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: but nonetheless, we have an opportunity here to share some
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of my Draftmas spirit. Well, Miracle at thirty fourth pick.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: We always have a different a couple of different you
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: know features that mary our Draft meets Christmas theme that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: we do every single year at this time, and this
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: is our brand new one. It's called a Miracle at
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: thirty fourth pick, and it's where I am designing almost
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the ideal the ideal scenario four draft day, and it
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: revolves around the thirty fourth pick in the draft. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: last week I was selfish because I made it all
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: about me. Today, I'm going to give you options, all right.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So what did we talk about with Rob Ring today?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: At seven oh five? We talked about the Seahawks and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: having three needs and three picks in the first two days.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: They have the thirty second the sixty fourth and the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: ninety sixth as we speak, and it feels too most
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of us that they need to come away with a
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: running back and edge rusher and a defensive back, a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: cornerback or a safety, since they lost both Bryant and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Woolen from the roster and from their depth as well.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And so Rob went as far our NFL draft expert
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: is saying that absolutely, you've got to get these three
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: positions before day number three. However, that unfolds. Get three street,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: whether it's the running back first, the corner cornerback first, whatever,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: get something from these three position pools before Saturday at
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: next week's NFL draft. And so I've created a bit
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of a sandwich board for you all right here this
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: morning before miracle a thirty fourth pick. But of course,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: miracle a thirty fourth pick has to start with a trade.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Of course it does every great draft, this moment starts
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: with a tick. Get to the thirty fourth pick, and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the thirty fourth pick is owned by the Arizona Cardinals.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And it looks like more and more like the theory
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I floated out times here during our draft Miss process.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Ty Simpson, the quarterback out of Alabama who seems to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: be the consensus, if not unanimous, number two quarterback in
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the draft. Only Dan Orlovsky doesn't think so.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the only one that's.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: He thinks he should be one.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: You know, he's either gonna be one or thirty seconds Dan.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But he seems to be the near unanimous choice for
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the second quarterback taken. And yet he's falling. The consensus
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is that he's falling and may fall as far as
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the second round. I've been saying this throughout the process.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: This really works out well for the Seahawks because draft
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: picks in the first round they get a fifth year option.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Comes in real handy when it comes to quarterbacks. If
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: he does end up being a starting quarterback of face
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of the franchise for some organization out there, that extra
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: fifth year puts them in tremendous bargaining position because quarterbacks
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: make the most money in the National Football League. So
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: it gives you a little negotiation so that team might
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: spend a little bit more to come up and get
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a quarterback than they would normally for the thirty second pick.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And so since this segment is called miracle, the thirty
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: fourth pick, and because the Arizona Cardinals have the thirty
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: fourth pick, and because the Arizona Cardinals do need a
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: quarterback of their future, makes sense to me that we
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: create a trade where the Seahawks move down from thirty
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: two to thirty four, and according to the NFL Draft chart,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that picks them up a fifth rounder one forty third
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: overall from Arizona, which of course is a drownd that
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: we have to be in because of all the miracles
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that John Schneider's pulled off in the fifth round in
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the past. And then because we're trading a rights to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a quarterback here, we want a third rounder next year
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Woo, we are fancy, I'm.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Pulling off a miracle here twenty twenty seven. We want
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: your third round pick for next year as well.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: So we have thirteen picks next year.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So we will have thirty four under this scenario, sixty
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: four and ninety six in the first two days. And
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Rob says, we got to get an edge, a running
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: back and a defensive back. Here are your options. You
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: can go Zion Young from Missouri. We talked about in
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the Draftmas catalog at thirty four. Right now, the Consensus
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Big Board, which is now a service that I'm using
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a lot has him as the forty first pick, so
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: that means should be on the board at thirty four. See,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting carried away now getting reckless with this
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Zion Young. I think fits really well with what Mike
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: McDonald wants to do on defense. Big dude, really well built,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: plays both the pass and the run very well. Then
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: at sixty four, the draft chart says Mike Washington ninety one.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: That's his value. Well, that flies in the phase of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: what all of our experts are saying. It's because a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: couple of people really have him rated low and this
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: consensus board and so it's kind of distorted his overall value.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: But since they're saying I could have him at ninety one,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and I certainly should be able get him at sixty four,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put Mike Washington Junior in this group
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and then in the third round ninety sixth overall, I'm
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: gonna take Bud Clark out of TCU. So there's your
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: first option, that's your first combo meal. You can go
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Zion Young, Mike Washington Junior. Two guys, we've discussed Bud
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Clark the safety out of TCU, as somebody we haven't discussed,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but the consensus board says that he's the one hundred
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and second best player, so I know he's there at
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: ninety six in this practice, okay. Or you can go
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: cornerback in the first round and get Chris Johnson out
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of San Diego State who has been rumored to be
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: connected to Seattle four weeks now. The edge rusher is
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: our Mason Thompson, the underweight but flashy, fast edge rusher
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma who Rob rang saying his praises earlier today.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And I will give you Jonah Coleman in this group
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: with the third round selection. The Washington barrel keg running
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: back that is Jonah Coleman. So you're gonna have Johnson,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Thomas and Coleman. That's another nice little combo package right there.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: So you go cornerback, edge and running back or third
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: version of it is running back at thirty four, So
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: don't mess around with it. If this is your biggest need,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Jedarian Price is on the board, get notre Dames Jedarian Price.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: The consensus Board says he's the fifty third best player
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: in this draft. We're gonna take him at thirty four.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: According to them, he should still be on the board,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and he's the number two running back in this class.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: We're gonna just going to cross that off of our
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: list right off the bat at cornerback at sixty four
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: with Tradon Stukes out of Arizona, somebody we did not
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: cover in our draft miss catalog unfortunately. And then at
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: ninety six, the drafts of the Consensus Board says that
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Rob rings Key Ron Crawford out of Auburn will be
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: available there as the edge rusher that we're going to take.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So those are your three options. Who do you want
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to take? Young Washington and Clark, Johnson, Thomas and Coleman,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Price Stokes and Crawford Ashley make a choice.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: This is very tough because part of me doesn't want
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: to be sound like a Homer at all, and I
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: know when I talk about this it's going to make
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: me sound like a Homer.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: But here's my reasoning.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So I like the idea of Johnson, Thompson and Coleman
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: because I it's America. Because I don't love the idea
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: of reaching for Washington, which I know people you're saying
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: people are over are.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Putting him to.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's a reach.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: You don't think it's a okay, I think.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: We'll be lucky ninety one.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just that's such a big gap, and so
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's somewhere in the middle, but
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: i'd be Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with Johnson Thompson Coleman. So there you go.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I'm a homer.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad combo. You know, it's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: not my first choice. I would take the first group
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: because I love Zion. Yeah, I love Mike Washington Junior,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and I don't you know, Bud Clark is just I
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: just picked him because that says the value.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: That's a simple, easy name.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's Bud Clark, girlfriend, Bud Clark.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: You guys, did you call Bud Clark. Yeah, he's coming over.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: He's gonna bring a sixer.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Because Bud Clark know how to play cards. It's Bud
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Clark Clark, come on, of course he does. Yeah. Uh
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna take the first group, but it just
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: kind of gives you a little idea of if we
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: do need to get all three of those. According to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: ring Lees, yeah, he's out of Wrangler Dash.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I like that. Uh then then, yeah, I think that
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: those are the that's the possible draft day haul that
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you get. And man, if we came away with Young
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Washington and then whatever cornerback Mike and John or safety
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: they think fits at ninety six. If I got Young
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: in Washington Junior, I got two of my favorite players
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: in this draft.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, that's a that's a win win if
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you come if you fill each of those with each
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: of those positions, we are looking good.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Not just good, miraculous.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I'm the thirty fourth pick.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: It's a miracle. Oh my gosh, the draft is real.

• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and thinks over to Mark and Chris. What do you
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: got Ashley?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: So last night we were at home doing I was
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: just doing a little bit of going back through the
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Mariners game.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: And watching a couple of.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Things that I just wanted to see again, and one
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: of them was that Cal hit where the pitcher didn't
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: make it all the way to first Cal.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Runs it out and he's safe. Yeah, And so five Iron.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: And I were talking about it for a second and
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I was like, hold on, So I yelled Palmer.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: So, Palmer the Great comes walking in. I said, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: just want you to watch this.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I said, this is why you run hard to first
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: base every single time, because you never know what's going
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: to happen. Like he should have been out there. That
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: was completely the astro's fault. He should have been out,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: but he was determined to run his butt off and
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: he did and look he's safe.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And then five Irons like yeah and.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: This and this, and so I was like, here, we
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: are just using Mariners games as lessons, but it's a
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: lot easier when it's col doing things.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: She really pays a lot more attention, a lot more attention.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: And also, as I was monitoring the chat today on
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: the YouTube channel, all of a sudden, I see a
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: message Hi everyone, high peeps Palmer the Great.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Checking in here.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh God, a monster. She just wanted
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: to say hi. Then she was asking people why is
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: everyone beefing on here? People were getting angry at each other,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: they owed.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Each other alt on.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: There is that, right, Yeah, I'm not sure I understand
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: this world.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: That I've been.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: It's been suggested you should just block some of these people.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like, heck, no, this is too entertaining. These people
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: just I'm like, they just they just get all fired up.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but now Palmer the Great is a part of
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the YouTube.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Chat, Well, there's gonna start yelling at her probably next.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling she can handle it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you're Kyle Rawley though, and you hit that
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: single and the first Basement's like you got one there, yeah,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: then you're like, maybe you could go check out some
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Adele highlights.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, I see.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: What I've been robbed of. You're going to give me
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: this flimsy little single and think that I'm even in
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the baseball world.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: But too soon to say those words, Joe, Oh, It's
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: too soon soon, all right?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: So well, I was going to close with baseball. I mean,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I was really going to spend last night. We had
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a day game, got a nap in. I was going
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to spend the evening and I did do some writing. Actually,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it was very productive last night. That's how I was
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: going to spend my day. This is why though I
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: need to go to the library or to the bookstore
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to write, or to a caffee shop, because I really
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: need to get tunneled in. That needs to be the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: only thing that I look at. I always think I'll
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: just leave the game on in the background, and you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: when I need a break, I'll look up from it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Well I do that last night with the Angels and
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Yankees game. That was a game, and then it turns
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: out to be like one of the best games you'll
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: ever see. It was unreal from beginning to end, just
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: back and forth the entire contest. Aaron Judge and Mike Trout.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're looking at two short fire Hall of famers,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, maybe the greatest player then and the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: greatest player now, maybe that baton was handed from one
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: to the other and they are just trading haymakers. Last
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: night they each had two home runs in the contest.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: It looked like one team was going to run away
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: with it, and then looked like the other team was
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: going to gain advantage, and then Trout just kept bringing
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the Angels back, and then allultimately it's Trent Grisham that
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: hits a two run homer that ties it at ten
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: late in the game, and then of all things, it
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: gets settled on a basis loaded wild pitch by Angels
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: closer Jordan Ramano on Yeah, exactly that way, and former
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Mariner scrappy Jose Caballero crosses home played without somebody wanting
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to punch him. Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say glad he didn't get pissed. Too
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: many people off, but it was great.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just speaks to like sports and how
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: great it is. And we watch a lot. I know
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that those listening watch a lot, and we watch a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: lot as hosts, at least you better hope we watch
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a lot as hosts, and you would think that you
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: get bored with it or numb to it, or man,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to have a day off. But you
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: never know. I mean, we could have an epic play
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: in tournament game tonight. I mean, the whole process is stupid,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: it's true, but who knows what we're in store for
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: it tonight? And last night was just one of those.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I watch a lot of baseball. I watched
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: too much baseball, and yet last night here I am
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: wanting to take a night off from it, and I
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: get sucked into this Angel's Yankees game and it was fantastic.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Two teams I don't even like, and it was just fantastic,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: great stuff. Thank you sports. You always find a way to.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Do it, always deliver. And I was saying earlier, Oh,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to watch the NBA play in games.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I know I will. They're gonna be on TVs two
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: and three.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I'll be watching just in case, just in case, because
• 36:32

• 36:37
  Speaker 3: be watching the Mariners on TV one.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: But then you just if.

  Speaker 1: just two TVs?
