- 0:51Speaker 1: that way. Monday. Yeah, exactly, great Wednesday. I don't even
- 0:54Speaker 1: know why I said that, because I'm sitting here going, oh,
- 0:56Speaker 1: it's hump Day today as as I'm listening to the intro,
- 1:00Speaker 1: and then I said Monday for some reason.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Well maybe you were thinking when you thought hump day,
- 1:04Speaker 4: then in your mind you went Monday.
- 1:06Speaker 1: No, I don't know what happened, just had a little
- 1:08Speaker 1: brain part. Yeah, I'm nuts. Good morning to you, Great
- 1:12Speaker 1: morning to you, Happy Wednesday to you, Happy hump Day

- 1:20Speaker 1: get started here, it is Chuck and Ashley with you
- 1:23Speaker 1: until ten o'clock this morning, and this show is packed.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I don't mind telling you. I'll show it to the
- 1:29Speaker 1: YouTube crew. Look at that.
- 1:31Speaker 5: That is to start the show as a busy show sheet.
- 1:33Speaker 1: That is one busy show sheet. And yes, I do
- 1:36Speaker 1: handwrite it, much to the chagrin of a lot of
- 1:39Speaker 1: people that work with me. I don't know why, but nonetheless, yeah,
- 1:44Speaker 1: look at that. Now. I make notes throughout the four
- 1:46Speaker 1: hours of the show that fill up the sheet typically,
- 1:50Speaker 1: but I've already started, well a filled up sheet today.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Yeah, where your note's gonna go?
- 1:54Speaker 1: Where are my notes gonna go? It's a great point.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I've even had to go over with some notes on
- 1:58Speaker 1: the second side under a second page.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Has that ever happened before?
- 2:02Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh it is usually I like seven before the
- 2:05Speaker 1: end of the show. But anyway, the point is that
- 2:08Speaker 1: we're already starting jam packed and who knows what twists
- 2:12Speaker 1: and turns we're gonna take here during the course of
- 2:15Speaker 1: the show today. But that's good. That's good. I love content.
- 2:19Speaker 1: That's what we deliver. We got all sorts of things
- 2:21Speaker 1: from all sorts of different sports to discuss today. The
- 2:24Speaker 1: beautiful game continues, but we are going to begin today's
- 2:29Speaker 1: radio program with the Mariners, and not only a win
- 2:33Speaker 1: last night. But wow, what a day, What a day
- 2:37Speaker 1: for the Mariners, What an experience that dropped into their lap.
- 2:44Speaker 1: And they knew they were injured, and I guess not
- 2:47Speaker 1: until yesterday afternoon did they realize just how injured that
- 2:51Speaker 1: they were as a team, getting people back, seeing how
- 2:55Speaker 1: they would react from treatment, seeing how they would react
- 2:58Speaker 1: from a couple of nights of sleep. I don't know
- 3:00Speaker 1: if Randy didn't communicate, hey, my my leg's not feeling
- 3:04Speaker 1: any better. I don't know when they found that out,
- 3:07Speaker 1: but when they found that out, it obviously created a
- 3:09Speaker 1: bit of a mess. And by the time they got
- 3:12Speaker 1: to opening pitch yesterday, and this just doesn't happen, Just
- 3:16Speaker 1: doesn't happen. In the game, they had one bench player.
- 3:19Speaker 1: They had one bench player that they could use, and
- 3:21Speaker 1: that was their backup catcher who they used taking infield
- 3:26Speaker 1: at first base, because they found out when they got
- 3:28Speaker 1: to the park yesterday, we don't have a first basement.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Our starter's not available to us. Maybe we should have
- 3:35Speaker 1: known that.
- 3:35Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems like those are things you should know.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And Luke Rayley is not available to us either, and
- 3:41Speaker 1: so they ended up having a tryout at first base.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Apparently before the game started between their backup catcher Mitch
- 3:49Speaker 1: Garver and then their do everything infielder Miles Master Bony,
- 3:54Speaker 1: Master Bonie, I guess one the latest American Idol.
- 3:57Speaker 5: Oh congratulations, Yeah, nice superstar.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Well you got the gold slip. Yeah, he's heading to California. So,
- 4:04Speaker 1: but for a while there, Paula really threw him off
- 4:06Speaker 1: with her facial expressions. I really thought he was going
- 4:09Speaker 1: to get bad news, and it turned out to be great.
- 4:11Speaker 4: I like that we're going back to American Idol with
- 4:13Speaker 4: paul Abdul.
- 4:14Speaker 1: That's the last time I watched. Yeah, so Master Boney
- 4:17Speaker 1: plays the first base. Garver's your only bench player, and
- 4:20Speaker 1: that's how you start the game. Last night, I mean, Ashley,
- 4:23Speaker 1: we were supposed to like coll the jp are.
- 4:28Speaker 4: The clubhouse is gonna be great, and there's gonna be
- 4:30Speaker 4: so much energy and everyone's gonna be ready to.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Go gsy everybody. Chelsey cal first and foremost great to
- 4:42Speaker 1: have you back. Secondly, can you play first base?
- 4:46Speaker 5: Thirdly, you're the only one we've got.
- 4:48Speaker 1: What kind of background do you have medically? Because we
- 4:51Speaker 1: really need all hands on deck right now. This is
- 4:55Speaker 1: like the baseball equivalent of the Civil war. Do you
- 4:59Speaker 1: know how a splinter leg? Because we need you. Could
- 5:02Speaker 1: you give me a finger. I'm gonna need you to
- 5:05Speaker 1: put your finger and press down on that blood pressure
- 5:07Speaker 1: otherwise we're gonna lose this soul bit.
- 5:09Speaker 5: Show me your tourniquet skills.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Yeah, hold your hand right there. I'll be right back
- 5:15Speaker 1: with the gauze.
- 5:19Speaker 4: And then you just look at the bench and it's
- 5:21Speaker 4: headwood ran and arm slings.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Like Cawra and JP comeback playing their flutes with their
- 5:29Speaker 1: head bandages on. That's how we went into the game
- 5:37Speaker 1: and we won.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Miraculously.
- 5:41Speaker 1: So yeah, you're up against it. And of course we
- 5:43Speaker 1: got all those tweets how we were supposed to win
- 5:45Speaker 1: a game with this lineup? Well, I hope this is
- 5:48Speaker 1: the last piece of evidence that you need for how
- 5:51Speaker 1: baseball kind of works. And I'm not trying to lecture here,
- 5:55Speaker 1: but we just get so many like, how were we
- 5:57Speaker 1: supposed to win a game with this lineup? Well, you
- 6:00Speaker 1: win a game with that kind of lineup because number one,
- 6:02Speaker 1: everybody in the lineup, whether they should be bench players
- 6:05Speaker 1: or should be lefty righty platoons or whatever the case
- 6:08Speaker 1: may be, every single one of them that was in
- 6:10Speaker 1: our lineup last night is a bona fide professional baseball player. Correct,
- 6:14Speaker 1: So let's just start there, and then number two. It
- 6:19Speaker 1: just goes to show you when you get a fantastic
- 6:22Speaker 1: pitching performance, which we did last night. That was Logan
- 6:26Speaker 1: at his very best, you can beat anybody. You can
- 6:29Speaker 1: beat anybody with any lineup. You can beat anybody with
- 6:32Speaker 1: the best lineup. If your pitcher great pitching beats great hitting,
- 6:37Speaker 1: and if your pitcher goes out there and slings it
- 6:40Speaker 1: the way that slim Pitchings did last night, you got
- 6:43Speaker 1: a chance to win any game that you play, regardless
- 6:47Speaker 1: of the lineup. And so not only did he strike
- 6:51Speaker 1: out ten, which probably was pivotal because you are playing
- 6:55Speaker 1: a couple of guys. I mean, we had a corner
- 6:56Speaker 1: infield of guys that had never played those positions before. Yeah,
- 6:59Speaker 1: that was fun, an adventure, and yet it didn't get exposed. Yeah,
- 7:03Speaker 1: because our pitcher struck out twelve of the twenty seven outs.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Logan struck out ten. And there really wasn't much action.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I mean, good the good thing. I didn't really want
- 7:16Speaker 1: to test JP to see what he could and couldn't
- 7:20Speaker 1: do last night, but he held his own. He seemed
- 7:23Speaker 1: a little shaky on the foul ball, which I was
- 7:25Speaker 1: a little surprised by. Maybe the wind was messing with him.
- 7:29Speaker 1: But the foul ball he seemed to struggle with, you know,
- 7:32Speaker 1: just crossing over the line, crossing over potentially the base.
- 7:36Speaker 1: You're not used to that, so he struggled with that
- 7:39Speaker 1: a little bit. But and Miles Masterboney really didn't have
- 7:41Speaker 1: a difficult play. If I'm Josh Naylor, I'm like, why
- 7:44Speaker 1: couldn't I have a night like that?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Right?
- 7:46Speaker 5: Yeah, that never happens me.
- 7:48Speaker 4: It's like they know I can catch most things, so
- 7:50Speaker 4: they just try to test it.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I'm always thrown. They're always throwing me into runners. I'm
- 7:55Speaker 1: always having a dance around big people, sprinting down the baseline.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And Master he's just getting simple soft tosses over to him.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I like him. I like that one of these days.
- 8:05Speaker 1: But you know, I mean that just goes to show
- 8:08Speaker 1: you it doesn't matter like who you're up against. I mean,
- 8:10Speaker 1: you could play the worst, and you can play the
- 8:12Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies in a three game series. They got a
- 8:14Speaker 1: chance to sweep you. I mean, that's not out of it.
- 8:17Speaker 1: This is baseball, and you can go out there with
- 8:21Speaker 1: a beaten up team and one bench player. And if
- 8:24Speaker 1: you've got Logan, Gilbert and cal Raley back together again, reunited,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and it feels so good. And Logan has been building
- 8:32Speaker 1: up to this point. We've watched him getting better here
- 8:35Speaker 1: in the last few starts, and then last night, after
- 8:38Speaker 1: a little bit of a bump in the first inning,
- 8:41Speaker 1: he just locked in. And anybody, because Logan is so happy,
- 8:46Speaker 1: go lucky, and he's so likable and he's pretty much
- 8:50Speaker 1: everybody's favorite person to have around on the team. And
- 8:56Speaker 1: don't confuse that he is one of the fiercest competitors
- 9:00Speaker 1: on that roster. Underneath that hood, you know, it might
- 9:03Speaker 1: look like, you know, the family truckster, you know the
- 9:07Speaker 1: family wagon, But underneath that hood revs a HEMI. That
- 9:11Speaker 1: guy loves himself some competition. And to get his battery
- 9:15Speaker 1: mate back last night, his best buddy back last night,
- 9:18Speaker 1: to get back onto the same page. He was just
- 9:22Speaker 1: brilliant and he gave you the chance to win. And
- 9:24Speaker 1: all you needed was to slap together some base runners
- 9:27Speaker 1: in the seventh inning against a guy that you shouldn't
- 9:30Speaker 1: have this much trouble solving in Brandon Young and lo
- 9:32Speaker 1: and behold, you're gonna win a baseball game. And they
- 9:35Speaker 1: did it last night, and it was. It was wonderful.
- 9:39Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
- 9:40Speaker 4: And it was surprising because again there were a lot
- 9:43Speaker 4: of people very very nervous about that lineup. I was
- 9:45Speaker 4: actually like, oh, look, we get to see JP at
- 9:48Speaker 4: third Finally they are doing it. And I'd heard that
- 9:50Speaker 4: he was warming up there and you know, testing it
- 9:53Speaker 4: out and again, and so I thought, at least we're
- 9:57Speaker 4: moving forward with things we talked about weeks ago and keep.
- 10:02Speaker 1: And you could have you could have made the decision
- 10:04Speaker 1: that day like we've got too much change, we got
- 10:07Speaker 1: too much chaos. Yeah, let's just today might not be
- 10:10Speaker 1: the day to test JP at third base. But they
- 10:12Speaker 1: did it anyway, and probably good they did. I'm I'm
- 10:16Speaker 1: not sure JP does make that play at the end
- 10:18Speaker 1: of the game up the middle that Cold Emerson played.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Maybe he makes it, Maybe he makes it. Maybe I'm
- 10:22Speaker 1: being a little bit unfair. I just you know, I've
- 10:25Speaker 1: established I just think Cold's a better defensive.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Shortstop, right and I think and so it was nice
- 10:29Speaker 4: to be able to see like, Okay, well this could work.
- 10:32Speaker 4: At least it worked yesterday. We and especially when we
- 10:34Speaker 4: were dealing with the depleted lineup that was the most
- 10:37Speaker 4: surprising depleted lineup in the history of baseball. But I
- 10:41Speaker 4: did think too with a I think with the foul
- 10:43Speaker 4: line because you know, you don't want to. They don't
- 10:45Speaker 4: want to. When he walks off the field and stuff,
- 10:47Speaker 4: he doesn't want to touch the line. So he probably
- 10:49Speaker 4: thought like, it's like Moonlight Graham, if you go over
- 10:51Speaker 4: the line, you can't come back.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you brought up Moonlight Graham. I didn't
- 10:55Speaker 1: know if you would get that reference because I was
- 10:57Speaker 1: going to talk about Moonlight Graham today and not for
- 11:00Speaker 1: those reasons. But we have a Moonlight Graham on our
- 11:04Speaker 1: roster now. Curtis Washington Junior was activated last night for
- 11:11Speaker 1: the game. And this is just something in sports, and
- 11:16Speaker 1: I know, I mean, I read plenty of this last night.
- 11:19Speaker 1: What are we doing one ninety batting average? And Hi,
- 11:24Speaker 1: hey this is a clown show. Hey, this was one
- 11:28Speaker 1: of the coolest stories that we've we're going to see
- 11:32Speaker 1: this year. Now, if you want to blame them because
- 11:36Speaker 1: the doctors didn't go home to make sure Josh Naylor
- 11:39Speaker 1: and Randy Rose arena, maybe they should have tested them
- 11:41Speaker 1: on the day off rather than find out. Okay, you
- 11:44Speaker 1: want to criticize them for that that maybe they could
- 11:46Speaker 1: have with a day off, gotten ahead of just how
- 11:50Speaker 1: banged up we actually are. I think there's I think
- 11:52Speaker 1: there's room for christ that. Yeah, yeah, maybe, I mean
- 11:56Speaker 1: you want to try to give them their day off
- 11:58Speaker 1: as opposed to, hey, you come in, we got to check.
- 12:01Speaker 1: You kind of have to trust the players. That's what
- 12:03Speaker 1: you do in typical situations. You sort of trust the
- 12:05Speaker 1: players that if there's something bad, they'll tell you and
- 12:08Speaker 1: they'll come in the extra day for treatment. But maybe
- 12:12Speaker 1: there's an argument to be made we should have kept
- 12:14Speaker 1: a closer eye on that. We should have forced Randy
- 12:16Speaker 1: and Josh in because we put ourselves in a position
- 12:19Speaker 1: where we didn't have bench players. All right, weal away. Yeah,
- 12:23Speaker 1: you know, I don't know exactly what was going on
- 12:25Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but it seems a bit indefensible that
- 12:28Speaker 1: you got caught that flat footed by the number of
- 12:31Speaker 1: injuries when you knew all of those guys were injured
- 12:35Speaker 1: when they left the field Sunday. So you know, you
- 12:38Speaker 1: want to go after that, but don't go after we've
- 12:41Speaker 1: activated Curtis Washington, Junior because that's a great story and
- 12:46Speaker 1: we might have a Moonlight Graham on our hands. The
- 12:49Speaker 1: only sad part about the story is that he didn't
- 12:52Speaker 1: get to play last night because the game was so close,
- 12:55Speaker 1: and he might get Moonlight Graham. Yeah, that might be
- 12:58Speaker 1: the closest he got to the bench. He put on
- 13:00Speaker 1: a major league uniform, even though he didn't arrive until
- 13:02Speaker 1: the fifth inning. I'm sure he would have loved to
- 13:05Speaker 1: have had it at that. The only way that was
- 13:07Speaker 1: going to happen is if we were up ten to one, I'm.
- 13:10Speaker 5: Blowing out or getting blown out.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Right, and so it would have been nice. He was
- 13:14Speaker 1: just seemed to be happy to be there. There was
- 13:16Speaker 1: a great scene with Colt Emerson and he where Colt's like,
- 13:19Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're here, and they know, hugged and
- 13:23Speaker 1: talked about the entire day and the experience. But we're
- 13:26Speaker 1: talking about somebody that was twenty six years old, still
- 13:30Speaker 1: at high A. Everett was not having a good year.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Like the future's not real bright for Curtis Washington junior.
- 13:40Speaker 1: That guy's not going to make it to the major leagues.
- 13:42Speaker 1: I mean, let's just cut to the chase. He was
- 13:44Speaker 1: not going to make it to the major leagues. He
- 13:46Speaker 1: was never going to put on a major league uniform
- 13:49Speaker 1: unless something weird like last night happened. And it wasn't
- 13:53Speaker 1: just for a feel good opportunity for the Mariners. This
- 13:57Speaker 1: was we need a bench player, and we need him
- 13:59Speaker 1: right now. We don't even have time to get him
- 14:00Speaker 1: from Tacoma right because of traffic, right because not that
- 14:04Speaker 1: much difference. We gotta get him. So we're gonna bring
- 14:09Speaker 1: We're gonna we don't have Brendan Davis available to us
- 14:12Speaker 1: because he's on the injury list. I mean, so we're
- 14:15Speaker 1: gonna we need some sort of bench player, somebody that
- 14:18Speaker 1: if we need defense or we need a pinch runner,
- 14:21Speaker 1: something of that nature, he can fill that. And this
- 14:24Speaker 1: is also an opportunity to give him a major league
- 14:29Speaker 1: you put on a major league uniform, which he's probably
- 14:32Speaker 1: not going to get otherwise. I mean, yes, I think
- 14:36Speaker 1: there's criticism for having gotten caught flat footed as an organization.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Why did you not know the severity of your injuries
- 14:43Speaker 1: until the afternoon of the game. So yes, whale away
- 14:47Speaker 1: on that. But this Curtis Washington story is actually fun.
- 14:51Speaker 1: The only thing sad about it is that that was
- 14:54Speaker 1: probably it because I don't think he's gonna be on
- 14:56Speaker 1: the roster today. Connor Joe's expected to get activated. They've
- 15:00Speaker 1: got twenty four hours to kind of figure out their
- 15:02Speaker 1: bench going forward. Rayley's got an extra day rest, Naylor's
- 15:05Speaker 1: got an extra day rest. You don't know what's going
- 15:07Speaker 1: to happen on that front. Curtis Washington Junior. That was
- 15:10Speaker 1: probably the last time he's ever gonna wear a major
- 15:12Speaker 1: league uniform, and it was to arrive late in the
- 15:14Speaker 1: fifth inning, put on the uniform, sit there, try to
- 15:18Speaker 1: soak in as much as he could, and wonder, are
- 15:21Speaker 1: we gonna build a big enough lead for me to
- 15:23Speaker 1: get into the game. And yet he had a smile
- 15:26Speaker 1: you couldn't take off his face. It was understandable. Yeah exactly,
- 15:29Speaker 1: And I mean, what a story to tell with nothing else. Exactly.
- 15:32Speaker 5: I was gonna say, what a moment for him.
- 15:34Speaker 4: And one day when he's telling his kids and his grandkids, well,
- 15:36Speaker 4: I wouldn't I was in a major league game like
- 15:38Speaker 4: I was on the I was on the bench, got
- 15:41Speaker 4: there in the fifth inning.
- 15:42Speaker 5: I mean, just the rush to get there.
- 15:44Speaker 4: This I don't imagine the story, Yeah exactly, being told
- 15:47Speaker 4: you're going there. That's not something that you're you know,
- 15:50Speaker 4: like in Takoma, you're Cole Emerson was sitting there waiting
- 15:53Speaker 4: for the call. When am I going up right? Kate
- 15:56Speaker 4: Anderson's in Arkansas waiting for the call? When am I
- 15:58Speaker 4: moving somewhere else?
- 16:00Speaker 1: Curtis Washington sitting there was not He's sitting there waiting
- 16:03Speaker 1: for When he got called in, it was You're done.
- 16:06Speaker 1: That's what I guarantee you. He walked into their thinking
- 16:09Speaker 1: he was being told it's not really coming together, Curtis right,
- 16:13Speaker 1: and so we're gonna let you go, try to make
- 16:15Speaker 1: room for another player, and we wish you the best.
- 16:17Speaker 1: You've been a great person to have around here. That's
- 16:20Speaker 1: what I almost bet you. That's what he thought, and
- 16:22Speaker 1: instead he heard your going to the majors with a
- 16:24Speaker 1: one ninety batting average at age twenty six at high A. Yeah,
- 16:28Speaker 1: I mean so yeah. So from that standpoint, so it
- 16:31Speaker 1: is very moon like Grahammy it's interesting you bring it
- 16:34Speaker 1: up because I was planning on making that reference the
- 16:37Speaker 1: entire time and someday, and I know exactly how he's
- 16:39Speaker 1: going to do it. He's going to be sitting in
- 16:41Speaker 1: his doctor's office some weirdo and a leather jacket's going
- 16:45Speaker 1: to come in and try to convince him to drive somewhere,
- 16:48Speaker 1: and he's gonna explain to him like.
- 16:52Speaker 6: I wish I could have had a wish. I could
- 16:54Speaker 6: have gone to the plate, drove one into the alley,
- 16:59Speaker 6: stretched out to double into a triple, wrap my arms
- 17:02Speaker 6: around the bag.
- 17:04Speaker 4: That's giving me chills, and then though the nice that's
- 17:07Speaker 4: my wish, that's my wish, Jerry Depoto, that's my wish.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Now I got to get home to Alicia, so I'll
- 17:16Speaker 6: see you later.
- 17:17Speaker 4: No, wait, Moonlight, you can't leave yet. You gotta save
- 17:19Speaker 4: this girl who's choking on a hot dog.
- 17:24Speaker 6: Want to wink at him like I know what he's thinking.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Oh yeah, when he does wink, Oh god, he's winking
- 17:32Speaker 4: at me.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Uh yeah. We got to see Archie Graham and he
- 17:36Speaker 1: didn't get isit bad either? But he is going to
- 17:38Speaker 1: be in Baseball Reference. Well, I don't know. I don't like.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Maybe he does, Maybe he isn't. I wonder if he
- 17:44Speaker 1: gets credit because he didn't play in a game he
- 17:47Speaker 1: was on a roster. I don't know if he'll make
- 17:48Speaker 1: it into the encyclopedia, but he does have that story
- 17:52Speaker 1: to tell, so uh, good for him on that front.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And yeah, if we were gotten down to it and
- 17:58Speaker 1: Curtis Washington was the reason we would have won or lost,
- 18:02Speaker 1: then I'm sure we would be telling a different story today.
- 18:05Speaker 1: How could you have ended off with that? But the
- 18:09Speaker 1: fact that you won the baseball game and the Curtis
- 18:12Speaker 1: Washington story was a great side story to last night
- 18:16Speaker 1: fun stuff. All right, let's find out what's on tap
- 18:18Speaker 1: for the rest of the show. What's on TEP, what's
- 18:24Speaker 1: on toe? All right, Mariner's Three Orioles one last night.
- 18:27Speaker 1: There are thirty eight and thirty six on the season.
- 18:29Speaker 1: They'll host the more Baltimore Orioles again today. It'll be
- 18:33Speaker 1: George Kirby against Kyle Bradish. Injuries Randy or Rose Arena
- 18:38Speaker 1: to the il Rayley and Naylor are both considered day today.
- 18:42Speaker 1: And it was also announced yesterday that the Piggyback will
- 18:46Speaker 1: be back and bigger and better than ever. Apparently every
- 18:51Speaker 1: single one of the six starters that they can't fit
- 18:55Speaker 1: into a five man rotation over the course of the
- 18:57Speaker 1: next three weeks will learn what it is to piggyback.
- 19:01Speaker 5: We're getting our Piggyback piggy back back.
- 19:05Speaker 1: And I do appreciate the Divish as he has now
- 19:10Speaker 1: divided it up into Friday will be the first piggyback
- 19:15Speaker 1: of the new Piggyback and it will be the same
- 19:18Speaker 1: old piggybackers. Bryce Miller will go to Luis Castile, but
- 19:23Speaker 1: that's just coincidence, that's just how it timed out. Bryce
- 19:27Speaker 1: will be the carrier according to Divish, and Castile will
- 19:30Speaker 1: be the writer. So we've even got designations for the
- 19:37Speaker 1: piggyback pitchers being used. We now can call them something
- 19:41Speaker 1: I like that a carrier and a rider. And so
- 19:46Speaker 1: they're going to do this with all six of them
- 19:48Speaker 1: over the span of three spins. Through the rotation that
- 19:52Speaker 1: is irritated an awful lot of people, but it is
- 19:54Speaker 1: made Ashley and I happy, and I really think under
- 19:58Speaker 1: the circumstances, it's not a bad idea. So we're going
- 20:02Speaker 1: to get into that a little bit later on. In
- 20:03Speaker 1: the show College World Series, Texas and Troy we're both
- 20:07Speaker 1: eliminated yesterday, so we have a final four set. North
- 20:11Speaker 1: Carolina will take on West Virginia at eleven am today
- 20:14Speaker 1: and Oklahoma will take on Georgia at four pm today
- 20:18Speaker 1: Oklahoma and North Carolina are in the driver's seat, meaning
- 20:22Speaker 1: because they are two to zero in this tournament and
- 20:25Speaker 1: West Virginia and Georgia have lost a game, that means
- 20:28Speaker 1: that West Virginia is going to have to beat North
- 20:30Speaker 1: Carolina twice in a row, where North Carolina just has
- 20:33Speaker 1: to win one of their next two games, and then
- 20:35Speaker 1: the same thing applies with Georgia to Oklahoma. World Cup Argentina. Finally,
- 20:40Speaker 1: Leonel Messi debuted in the World Cup last night and
- 20:44Speaker 1: scored all three of Argentina's goals as they won over
- 20:48Speaker 1: Algeria three to one. The Hurst household couldn't have been happier.
- 20:52Speaker 1: England will debut today at one o'clock versus Croatia, and
- 20:56Speaker 1: of course we're counting down the days till Friday at
- 20:59Speaker 1: noon when the US and Australia will do battle right
- 21:02Speaker 1: here in Seattle at t Mobile on a day in
- 21:06Speaker 1: Seattle sports that will undoubtedly be unforgettable, as you'll have
- 21:10Speaker 1: US Australia Friday at noon, and then you'll have the
- 21:14Speaker 1: Mariners and the Red Sox playing Friday evening and we
- 21:17Speaker 1: will talk some American football today as well as Mike
- 21:21Speaker 1: Sando's going to join us today for our Seahawks one
- 21:23Speaker 1: series at seven five one analyst breaking down one key
- 21:26Speaker 1: Seahawk player for one entire interview. We'll do that at
- 21:29Speaker 1: seven oh five. And this is US Open week as well.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Brady Cannon will join us today as he always does
- 21:36Speaker 1: before a major, at eight o'clock to give us tips
- 21:38Speaker 1: on who to bed on. Also at nine o'clock today,
- 21:42Speaker 1: our own Green Jacket US Open preview with a celebrity
- 21:47Speaker 1: picker today at nine o'clock. So all of that coming
- 21:49Speaker 1: up on the show. Coming up next, we'll get into
- 21:51Speaker 1: the details of last night's three to one win over
- 21:53Speaker 1: the Orioles. It's Mariners Morning After here on Chuck and
- 21:56Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Yeah,
- 22:01Speaker 1: and everybody has to console her like it's okay, it's
- 22:04Speaker 1: not gonna ruin our good time. Don't worry about it. Yeah,
- 22:08Speaker 1: make them all again. Yeah, So we're gonna you know,
- 22:12Speaker 1: tequila comes out of the rug. It's fine. We'll just
- 22:15Speaker 1: soak it.
- 22:16Speaker 5: Yes, squeeze the lime juice on it. It'll be fine.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Good morning to you, and we do have a victory
- 22:23Speaker 1: to discuss today. In Mariner's Morning After it's our Mariner's
- 22:27Speaker 1: postgame show. We just do it the morning after, a highlight,
- 22:29Speaker 1: a sound bite, a preview of what's going on tonight.
- 22:31Speaker 1: And the Mariners did get a win, not a loss,
- 22:34Speaker 1: not a depressing thing, but an uplifting thing, something that
- 22:37Speaker 1: you would dance to. They defeated the Orioles last night,
- 22:41Speaker 1: and the day started in most bizarre fashion. It was
- 22:45Speaker 1: all about the excitement of the hero, the captain returning
- 22:50Speaker 1: to the lineup, captain returning to a ship last night,
- 22:53Speaker 1: and cal Raley also JP Crawford accompanying him to the ballyard.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I mean I pictured them coming together. Yeah, like everybody
- 23:02Speaker 1: was already there.
- 23:03Speaker 5: Elbows linked, right, let's go, we got this.
- 23:06Speaker 1: They were the last people there, but everybody arrived early
- 23:08Speaker 1: so they could be there for them. And that's what
- 23:10Speaker 1: I pictured.
- 23:11Speaker 5: And they're welcome back.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I pictured in my head and heart.
- 23:19Speaker 1: And instead they were met with a clubhouse filled with
- 23:25Speaker 1: people more injured than they are. And so Jerry and
- 23:30Speaker 1: Justin and Dan spent the afternoon trying to figure out
- 23:34Speaker 1: how to make out a lineup, how to complete a roster,
- 23:37Speaker 1: who's going on the il, who just needs a couple
- 23:39Speaker 1: of days to recover, and it sort of cast a
- 23:44Speaker 1: cloud over what was supposed to be something that was
- 23:47Speaker 1: going to lift the clouds right Cal was back. I
- 23:50Speaker 1: asked Ryan Healy about the importance of Cal. What does
- 23:53Speaker 1: it mean to have him back starting tonight? Everything? Yep,
- 23:57Speaker 1: that was his answer. Everything, one word answer. It means
- 24:01Speaker 1: everything to this team to have cal Raley back, considering
- 24:05Speaker 1: that they played so poorly for their last five games,
- 24:08Speaker 1: got so beat up for their last five games on
- 24:11Speaker 1: the East Coast, and yet the day certainly started with
- 24:15Speaker 1: a lot more turmoil than it did celebration. But once
- 24:18Speaker 1: the game got underway, Logan Gilbert, once he gave up
- 24:22Speaker 1: a run, everything then settled in for the Mariners and
- 24:27Speaker 1: come back from a one to nothing lead. Cal's first
- 24:30Speaker 1: at bat he made contact a fly ball to center field.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Wasn't the home run, wasn't the heroic return, but he
- 24:38Speaker 1: made contact. Then in his next at bat, check swing
- 24:42Speaker 1: HiT's a line drive. I thought for a second it
- 24:44Speaker 1: was gonna fall and left field, but nope, it was
- 24:47Speaker 1: snagged by the shortstop and so Cal's over two. On
- 24:51Speaker 1: his return third at bat, he gets a walk, which
- 24:55Speaker 1: in that at bat he had an opportunity to on
- 25:01Speaker 1: three to zero, kind of go for the fences, and
- 25:03Speaker 1: boy did he well. Most aggressive swings I've ever seen
- 25:07Speaker 1: him take. Yeah, but then he eventually settled for a walk.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Julio couldn't come through that time, so the score remains
- 25:15Speaker 1: one to one at that point. And then you go
- 25:16Speaker 1: to the bottom of the seventh, Victor Roeblace reaches on
- 25:20Speaker 1: an infield single. Cold Emerson, who might be our third
- 25:23Speaker 1: or fourth best player at this point.
- 25:25Speaker 5: Yes, he's incredible.
- 25:26Speaker 1: He singled the laft Roeblaze. So we got two on
- 25:28Speaker 1: against Brandon Young, who we've not been able to solve
- 25:31Speaker 1: in two different starts. Master Bony puts down a perfect
- 25:35Speaker 1: sacrifice bunt for all of those that don't think that
- 25:38Speaker 1: a bunt can be useful in today's game. JP Crawford
- 25:42Speaker 1: then worked a walk and lo and behold most important
- 25:46Speaker 1: moment of the game. All tied at one, bottom of
- 25:49Speaker 1: the seventh, bases loaded, just one out. All you need
- 25:53Speaker 1: is a sacrifice fly to take the lead, and here
- 25:56Speaker 1: comes cal Raleigh, the returning hero to the plate. Col's
- 26:01Speaker 1: back in town.
- 26:04Speaker 2: And he comes to the plate in the biggest spot tonight,
- 26:07Speaker 2: a one to one game with the bags loaded, saw
- 26:12Speaker 2: tride center field and it falls drive head. Robert scores
- 26:17Speaker 2: like behind of his everercent and he is in there.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Wow at a standing ovation for cal Rawley. He's back
- 26:27Speaker 2: in town and the Mariners are up three.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Launch Rich Waltz filling in for Aaron Goldsmith last night
- 26:35Speaker 1: on Mariners TV with the highlight call there, yes three
- 26:39Speaker 1: to one and that would be the final score. I
- 26:41Speaker 1: do want to point on one of the things since
- 26:42Speaker 1: we are talking about cold Emerson and how great he's been.
- 26:47Speaker 1: I can't even tell you how good that base running was.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Oh yeah from second base that he read it so
- 26:53Speaker 1: much better than Victor Robe. And now Roblaz has to
- 26:56Speaker 1: wait to make sure it gets down because you don't
- 26:58Speaker 1: want to get doubled off. But he was in roblaze
- 27:01Speaker 1: hip pocket, and if he wouldn't have been, he doesn't
- 27:04Speaker 1: score on that play. And then on top of it
- 27:06Speaker 1: all a brilliant slide to get the hand in to
- 27:09Speaker 1: get around the catcher. It's just a subtle, minor thing
- 27:13Speaker 1: that happened, But that was just from a twenty year old.
- 27:16Speaker 1: He just continues to impress with his feel for the game.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean as he's standing there, he like kind
- 27:22Speaker 4: of pauses, turns and looks and then just took off
- 27:25Speaker 4: and was he right behind Roeblaze. And they were talking
- 27:27Speaker 4: about it too, just how heads up it was, how
- 27:29Speaker 4: smart it was of him to do it, and yeah,
- 27:31Speaker 4: they almost got him at home, So I thank goodness
- 27:34Speaker 4: he was as quick as he was.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Cal Rawley didn't just contribute at the plate. He and
- 27:39Speaker 1: Logan were making sweet music together last night. Logan gave
- 27:43Speaker 1: up the run in the first inning and then that
- 27:44Speaker 1: was it. At one point he had retired sixteen men
- 27:48Speaker 1: in a row en route to the victory. The Mariners
- 27:51Speaker 1: do hold on Bizardo work the eighth Munyos worked a
- 27:54Speaker 1: really effective ninth inning for the save and the MS
- 27:57Speaker 1: win three to one over the Baltimore Orioles. Logan very
- 28:00Speaker 1: excited to have his battery mate back.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun, just really familiar. You feel comfortable
- 28:07Speaker 3: when he's back there. I mean, shout out to Garb
- 28:09Speaker 3: and Johnny two do and what they did when he
- 28:11Speaker 3: was gone. That's huge for us. But having him just
- 28:16Speaker 3: we'll go, We'll go back for a while. So he
- 28:17Speaker 3: knows me really well and knows when I'm online, even
- 28:20Speaker 3: just targeting was I don't know how to explain it,
- 28:22Speaker 3: but I'm just used to it. I just like the
- 28:25Speaker 3: way he sets up, what the plan is, all that
- 28:28Speaker 3: kind of stuff.
- 28:29Speaker 2: So you know you so well.
- 28:30Speaker 7: But he almost yeah, did you know what happened?
- 28:35Speaker 3: It was like, I mean, I saw it when the
- 28:38Speaker 3: ball was like right there about to hit me. I
- 28:40Speaker 3: told him afterwards, a good thing. He's not accurate because
- 28:44Speaker 3: he barely missing, and then he goes and gets a
- 28:46Speaker 3: hit and steals the show. But drawed up in the
- 28:51Speaker 3: other way.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Like going in.
- 28:53Speaker 7: We kind of knew he was going to be back
- 28:54Speaker 7: today and you need your start line up. Did you
- 28:57Speaker 7: have any content? I mean, but you have an on
- 29:00Speaker 7: back with him before today at all. When he texted
- 29:02Speaker 7: going on, I got you.
- 29:03Speaker 1: And this and that.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of days ago, I just asked him
- 29:06Speaker 3: how everything's going, and then he said he's catching Tuesday.
- 29:08Speaker 3: I said, he, you know, couldn't wait to catch me.
- 29:10Speaker 3: I had to come back just for me. But then
- 29:11Speaker 3: I show up today and he's like complaining that he
- 29:14Speaker 3: wanted WU first time, so it's easier or sometime. So
- 29:17Speaker 3: that's that's a good confidence build a right before I
- 29:19Speaker 3: got out there.
- 29:20Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna make it easy.
- 29:23Speaker 3: So that's bold to say it before, because I can
- 29:25Speaker 3: spike one at any point.
- 29:29Speaker 1: It's the best relationship in baseball.
- 29:31Speaker 6: I know.
- 29:31Speaker 5: That's why I don't want us to trade him.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Maybe sports. It's the cutest, Oh my gosh. And then
- 29:37Speaker 1: Cal was asked about if you didn't catch that. There
- 29:39Speaker 1: was a throwback by Cal to Logan and he wasn't watching,
- 29:43Speaker 1: and I don't know why Cale doesn't remember that. Sometimes
- 29:45Speaker 1: Logan will take a journey after he throws a pitch
- 29:48Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and Cal just kind of flips it
- 29:50Speaker 1: back toward him and and you could tell he's like,
- 29:53Speaker 1: look out because Logan was not looking, and the ball
- 29:56Speaker 1: kind of skimmed over his head so it didn't touch him,
- 29:59Speaker 1: and it all ended well. And so Logan's response to
- 30:04Speaker 1: that was well, good thing. He's not an accurate thrower.
- 30:08Speaker 1: And then Cal was asked about it as well, and
- 30:11Speaker 1: Cal said, Cal said, I don't know how I missed
- 30:14Speaker 1: that giant head. The best they are. They are fantastic, yeah,
- 30:21Speaker 1: not just his friends but also his battery mates. And
- 30:24Speaker 1: I do I do believe Logan was getting better with
- 30:27Speaker 1: every start, and I love that he pointed out Parada
- 30:30Speaker 1: and Garver. So thoughtful that young man. This wasn't just
- 30:34Speaker 1: about you know, we don't want to celebrate one guy
- 30:36Speaker 1: and dance on the grave of another. And so he
- 30:40Speaker 1: pointed out both Garver and Parada. Uh so, good for
- 30:43Speaker 1: him for doing that. But he's been building up to
- 30:46Speaker 1: this point. But there's no doubt that was the best
- 30:47Speaker 1: he's looked all season long. A bunch of swing and
- 30:50Speaker 1: miss from the Baltimore Orioles. He struck out ten. He
- 30:53Speaker 1: went seven full innings h and he took a beat
- 30:56Speaker 1: up team with a ragtag, you know, patchwork lineup, and
- 31:01Speaker 1: he said, just give me a couple runs, and we
- 31:03Speaker 1: got it, and they took it three to one as
- 31:06Speaker 1: your final score. Same two teams meet tonight at the
- 31:09Speaker 1: exact same time, six forty at the exact same place
- 31:12Speaker 1: t Mobile. Kyle Bradish will start for the Orioles. We
- 31:14Speaker 1: roughed him up a little bit the last time we
- 31:16Speaker 1: faced him. George Kirby will get the start for the MS.
- 31:20Speaker 1: We'll talk more baseball later with the ABC's with a
- 31:22Speaker 1: baseball brunch and more. But coming up next to the
- 31:26Speaker 1: biggest sporting events in the world continues and we'll talk
- 31:29Speaker 1: about the highlights next on KJR. Of the stars were
- 31:54Speaker 1: all in full display yesterday and World Cup coverage. Three
- 31:57Speaker 1: games yesterday, Messi scored all three goals for Argentina. Anders
- 32:02Speaker 1: Hurst I heard proposed oh again to mess to Messy.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Oh he was that much in love and his wife
- 32:10Speaker 1: is so much in love. She was like, it's fine, Yeah,
- 32:13Speaker 1: I get it. You know, everybody has to have their exceptions. Yeah, yeah,
- 32:17Speaker 1: I think the baby. Hearst's first word was messy.
- 32:22Speaker 5: Yeah, that makes sense actually, but it.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Was talking about the crap in its pants. Oh yeah.
- 32:27Speaker 1: So but you know, when you got parents who are
- 32:30Speaker 1: biggest soccer fans that they are, they mistake it.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Uh huh.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, Argentina over Algeria yesterday. Bope the Hansen's
- 32:40Speaker 1: favorite player.
- 32:42Speaker 5: He is the most bobbish.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a big game yesterday. And Holland from Norway,
- 32:49Speaker 1: which doesn't make sense, not even a little bit. He
- 32:52Speaker 1: had a big game yesterday as well, apparently playing injured.
- 32:55Speaker 1: So the stars were on display. I really didn't know,
- 32:58Speaker 1: like until like fifteen minutes ago at the beginning of
- 33:02Speaker 1: this World Cup that I mean, I knew that the
- 33:07Speaker 1: star players like to get one was valuable, but I
- 33:11Speaker 1: didn't realize it was everything right, And apparently it's everything.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Well, yeah, when your star player can score all of
- 33:16Speaker 4: your goals, then you, I guess, start to realize, oh, yeah,
- 33:19Speaker 4: you are.
- 33:19Speaker 5: They are kind of a big deal.
- 33:20Speaker 1: But it that doesn't make sense, and it's only because
- 33:23Speaker 1: I didn't grow up with the game. So this is
- 33:24Speaker 1: not like taking a shot at soccer. This is just
- 33:28Speaker 1: I if I watch a game which I have a
- 33:30Speaker 1: hard time getting through one, and I see that giant
- 33:34Speaker 1: playing field and then that large amount of time without
- 33:39Speaker 1: any real action, and then I see all of those defenders.
- 33:46Speaker 1: If there's one player that is so fricking special, why
- 33:50Speaker 1: don't you put like five guys on him?
- 33:51Speaker 5: That would make sense to me.
- 33:53Speaker 1: So I mean, that's that's out of ignorance. I'm not
- 33:56Speaker 1: criticizing the game. I'm just saying from an ignorant viewer's point,
- 34:01Speaker 1: I don't know how, with that much space and that
- 34:05Speaker 1: many men on the field at the same time, how
- 34:08Speaker 1: you could allow one person to be that dominant in
- 34:12Speaker 1: a game. It doesn't make any sense to me.
- 34:14Speaker 4: No, And I would agree because yeah, you'd think, like, oh,
- 34:15Speaker 4: we're gonna double team him or triple team him, or
- 34:18Speaker 4: whatever it is we got to do to stop him.
- 34:20Speaker 4: But I suppose when you're on especially when you're on
- 34:22Speaker 4: a national team, everybody else is good enough that if
- 34:25Speaker 4: you put five people on one and leave four people open,
- 34:29Speaker 4: you might be at a disadvantage.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Well that's what you would think. But then again, wouldn't
- 34:34Speaker 1: you think that one guy couldn't beat an entire team
- 34:37Speaker 1: on a giant pasture?
- 34:39Speaker 5: I would also think that. So I don't know, it
- 34:42Speaker 5: doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
- 34:43Speaker 1: It really doesn't. But apparently they are just that important
- 34:48Speaker 1: and just that special, and they were certainly on display yesterday.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Of course, So we're count down the moments till Friday
- 34:54Speaker 1: at noon where the US will take on Australia right
- 34:59Speaker 1: here in Seattle. And so it's a scene. I mean,
- 35:03Speaker 1: there's talk about US broadcasting all day long from the
- 35:07Speaker 1: scene on Friday. I think that's certainly where the bosses
- 35:10Speaker 1: are leaning toward happening on our broadcast day on Friday.
- 35:14Speaker 1: There's some logistics that may keep that from happening. We
- 35:17Speaker 1: shall see, but I think that is the plan. And
- 35:21Speaker 1: at first I'm like, I don't know. I mean, do.
- 35:24Speaker 1: I want to just get the heck out of there.
- 35:26Speaker 1: But now I'm starting to think, like, how could I
- 35:29Speaker 1: not just soak in that whole day? How could I
- 35:31Speaker 1: not even if I don't go to the match, even
- 35:33Speaker 1: if I can't get into the match, which how does
- 35:35Speaker 1: Ryan Roland Smith not get to take it to that match?
- 35:37Speaker 6: Right?
- 35:37Speaker 5: They should have rolled out the red carpet for it?
- 35:40Speaker 1: Isn't he like a national folk hero?
- 35:41Speaker 5: I would think so.
- 35:43Speaker 1: And so even if I don't go to the match,
- 35:45Speaker 1: if I even go in proximity to the match and
- 35:49Speaker 1: just be a part of that experience and then just
- 35:53Speaker 1: hang around all day and go to the Mariners Red Sox,
- 35:55Speaker 1: that sounds like a pretty good day.
- 35:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 35:57Speaker 4: I think you could have a lot of fun just
- 35:59Speaker 4: being down there, so looking it all in and watching
- 36:01Speaker 4: the match, because there's a lot of people that are
- 36:02Speaker 4: just going down there to hang out down there and
- 36:04Speaker 4: aren't getting tickets for them as well.
- 36:06Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think that would be great fun.
- 36:08Speaker 1: And ausies are fun.
- 36:09Speaker 4: How how often is the World Cup coming to Seattle
- 36:11Speaker 4: right in our lifetime?
- 36:12Speaker 5: This is probably it?
- 36:13Speaker 1: Probably it, Yeah, this is probably the last time, especially
- 36:17Speaker 1: for us that are a little more advanced in yours.
- 36:19Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I wasn't gonna say.
- 36:21Speaker 1: That, all right. Coming up next, Seahawks one series continues
- 36:26Speaker 1: today with our friend Mike Sando.
- 36:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 36:28Speaker 1: I know he's a national guy, but he lives right
- 36:30Speaker 1: down the street for goodness sake, and man does he
- 36:33Speaker 1: love him some football. Mike Sando joins US one analyst,
- 36:36Speaker 1: breaking down one key Seahawk player for one entire interview.
- 36:39Speaker 1: It's coming up on Chuck and Buck
