3:38
Speaker 4: here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bud.
3:41
Speaker 1: Good morning, Greg, Good morning. Let me guess I'm got
3:44
Speaker 1: guest today. Banana pancakes.
3:48
Speaker 5: Well, not yet yet, but yeah, just cyssist me here
3:53
Speaker 5: in the house. Probably not.
3:54
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, treat yourself, Greg, Yeah you should.
3:59
Speaker 5: Well that's true. I could do that.
4:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are delicious though, banana pang it sounds good
4:04
Speaker 1: to me. Could you make something and bring.
4:05
Speaker 2: Them in them on down here? Yeah?
4:08
Speaker 5: I usually put chuck of tips in them too with banana.
4:11
Speaker 1: But oh, now you're singing a really beautiful song. Say
4:14
Speaker 1: to that? Yeah, awesomer, Yeah, it really did. H Well,
4:18
Speaker 1: good morning, Great to have you h with us again
4:21
Speaker 1: this morning. It is tag day. None of us are
4:24
Speaker 1: expecting the Seahawks to use the franchise tag on Ken Walker,
4:28
Speaker 1: but could we be surprised before the day comes to
4:30
Speaker 1: a close.
4:33
Speaker 5: I mean it's possible, but I don't think so. Yeah,
4:36
Speaker 5: and well we asked Mike john Schnyder last week at
4:39
Speaker 5: the combine about it. He refused to answer that. He
4:41
Speaker 5: kind of smiled and smile told me, come on, you
4:45
Speaker 5: know how we do business, which is they don't do
4:48
Speaker 5: business with franchise texts. He's only done it once, well twice, technically,
4:52
Speaker 5: he's only done it once in sixteen years. It was
4:54
Speaker 5: the Linda Marie in twenty ten in his first months
4:57
Speaker 5: on the job a kicker. And then the other time
5:00
Speaker 5: they did it was Frank Clark about a half dozen
5:03
Speaker 5: years ago, and that was to buy time to pull
5:05
Speaker 5: off the trade, assigning trade to the Kansas City Chiefs.
5:09
Speaker 5: They traded their edge rusher Clark to the Chiefs, and
5:12
Speaker 5: the Chiefs immediately paid him the highest paid edge rusher
5:15
Speaker 5: for that year. And that's the only two times in
5:18
Speaker 5: sixteen years that they've done it, and only once to
5:20
Speaker 5: keep a player. The franchise tag number for running backs
5:25
Speaker 5: at fourteen and a half million. If they did use
5:29
Speaker 5: it today, I immediately would say why did they do that?
5:32
Speaker 5: Because they could have signed him for a multi year
5:35
Speaker 5: deal months ago extended him at a salary cap number
5:41
Speaker 5: less than fourteen and a half for this year. So
5:43
Speaker 5: it doesn't make a ton of sense. Now that he's
5:45
Speaker 5: this close to free agency. He could command close to
5:50
Speaker 5: that if they're bidding mortgage and multiple teams get involved,
5:53
Speaker 5: So for him, it doesn't make any sense that players
5:58
Speaker 5: hate the franchise. Higher course, it's just it's gone on
6:01
Speaker 5: too long. If this had been six eight months ago,
6:05
Speaker 5: or when Kenneth Walker wanted the extension the beginning of
6:08
Speaker 5: the year. They could have gotten in for cheaper, but
6:10
Speaker 5: we've talked about why they didn't do that.
6:13
Speaker 2: Can you think of anybody that maybe John Schneider wishes
6:16
Speaker 2: he had I mean, because I would have to think
6:18
Speaker 2: that not all these decisions are the same where it's
6:20
Speaker 2: just nope, not interested.
6:22
Speaker 1: That's not what we do. We don't play in that sandbox.
6:25
Speaker 2: You think there's any times that they wish they had
6:28
Speaker 2: and if this is maybe more on that line, simply
6:30
Speaker 2: because they don't really have someone waiting in the wings
6:33
Speaker 2: to take that spot right now.
6:37
Speaker 5: They wish they had you the franchise tager. Yeah, yeah,
6:44
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of major guys who left wishing
6:48
Speaker 5: that they hadn't left and signed it. Oh well, cornerback
6:53
Speaker 5: at the time was but DJ read when he left
6:57
Speaker 5: to the Jets about what was that three four years ago?
7:00
Speaker 5: He was emerging as a real stalwart who could have
7:03
Speaker 5: played eight ten years for Seattle and Pete Carroll just
7:07
Speaker 5: loved how he played the ball and was exactly the
7:10
Speaker 5: press corner they liked, and he came up from venomum salary.
7:17
Speaker 5: The Seahawks thought they were going to resign him at
7:20
Speaker 5: a very low cost, probably like the current situation with
7:25
Speaker 5: Josh Job, but the Jets blew him out of the water.
7:29
Speaker 5: And the DJ Reid situation was a reminder that once
7:32
Speaker 5: guys get the free agency, who knows what can happen
7:35
Speaker 5: if multiple teams get involved, they have cap space, they
7:38
Speaker 5: can overpay for a guy. And DJ Reid got an
7:41
Speaker 5: offer that they were just like, well, we can't touch that,
7:44
Speaker 5: and we really wanted you back, but we're not going
7:46
Speaker 5: to match that. That blows our whole plan out of
7:49
Speaker 5: whack if we pay that and they lost him. That's
7:54
Speaker 5: one example who comes to mind. The thing about Corner
7:58
Speaker 5: compared to running Back, of course, is the car as
8:00
Speaker 5: high at the top of the market for corners, so
8:03
Speaker 5: it costs a lot of money to keep Greek wooling
8:05
Speaker 5: for us. It's on a franchise. Tagg.
8:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's another candidate other than Walker
8:10
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah yeah. Greg bells with us our Seahawks insider.
8:14
Speaker 1: Of course, he can follow his coverage of the Seahawks
8:17
Speaker 1: daily coverage at the Newstribune dot com and follow him
8:19
Speaker 1: at g Bell's Seattle So nationally, this Max Crosby stuff
8:24
Speaker 1: seems to be heating up articles everywhere suggesting that he
8:29
Speaker 1: could be traded this week before free agency begins. How
8:33
Speaker 1: real of a possibility is that for John Schneider and
8:36
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks.
8:38
Speaker 5: Well, they've asked, they've looked around and acquired and there's
8:42
Speaker 5: a spy tech general manager for the Raiders and Snyder
8:46
Speaker 5: have done recent business, said the quarterback for this and
8:48
Speaker 5: in particular, so it's not like they don't know each other.
8:52
Speaker 5: So Snyder is aware of what the Raiders are asking,
8:56
Speaker 5: what they would want and all of that. It's the
8:59
Speaker 5: old we are involved on everything, and they take pride
9:02
Speaker 5: in doing that. It would have to be for players,
9:05
Speaker 5: because we've talked about how they don't have much at
9:08
Speaker 5: least this year in draft capital. We'll see again, it's
9:14
Speaker 5: a lit of like free agency. Once a lot of
9:15
Speaker 5: teams get involved in bidding for a guy they may
9:18
Speaker 5: want to acquire in a trade, then the price goes
9:22
Speaker 5: way up. And the Seahawks have some of the fewest
9:26
Speaker 5: draft picks in this draft and they don't have a
9:28
Speaker 5: ton of capital. It would cost them players to get
9:31
Speaker 5: someone like that. I'd never saying ever, I mean just
9:35
Speaker 5: team to trade a Russell Wilson. You remember, so trades
9:38
Speaker 5: can come out of nowhere, but it does get more
9:41
Speaker 5: difficult for a team with low draft capital when other
9:44
Speaker 5: teams are reportedly seeking a guy, that the price goes
9:47
Speaker 5: way up.
9:48
Speaker 1: I'm involving a lot of crazy stuff in this next
9:52
Speaker 1: question because we're also, i mean, we're hearing Max Crosby rumors.
9:55
Speaker 1: We're also hearing that maybe the Raiders aren't as much
9:58
Speaker 1: in love with Fernando Mendoza, and if somebody else's and
10:02
Speaker 1: makes them an offer they can't refuse, they might pull
10:04
Speaker 1: the trigger on that long way of asking, does Drew
10:07
Speaker 1: Locke have any value out there being on a two year,
10:10
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract that a team that is admittedly
10:13
Speaker 1: rebuilding that could restock their you know, stores with all
10:18
Speaker 1: sorts of draft picks this offseason, have all sorts of
10:20
Speaker 1: cap space that maybe if they just had a one
10:23
Speaker 1: year Drew lock, you know, sort of band aid to
10:28
Speaker 1: put on it and and some franchise give him finally
10:32
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see if he actually could be an
10:34
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback for somebody. Is there some trade value out there?
10:38
Speaker 1: Does that make sense in any of these scenarios that
10:40
Speaker 1: he might be.
10:40
Speaker 5: Included yeah, it does, but not the number of teams
10:45
Speaker 5: that supposedly and looks like they need quarterbacks or start
10:48
Speaker 5: a dwindle the Mendoza Raiders stuff. There's always this talk
10:54
Speaker 5: every year for the teams at the top of the
10:56
Speaker 5: draft because they want to attract trade offers from everywhere.
11:00
Speaker 5: They want to get as many as they cultivate as
11:02
Speaker 5: many as they can, so they leave put out and
11:04
Speaker 5: leak that, oh, we might be going this way instead,
11:07
Speaker 5: or oh we may not be involved in that quarterback
11:10
Speaker 5: because teams that do need quarterback and might like Mendoza,
11:13
Speaker 5: they want to track those guys to get offers, so
11:16
Speaker 5: you're going to see more than just those. There'll be
11:19
Speaker 5: rumors from now until the draft starts April twenty third
11:22
Speaker 5: about that to try to so the Raiders can go
11:24
Speaker 5: on a fishing expedition and see what they can get.
11:27
Speaker 5: I talked to Drew Locke att before and after the
11:29
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. He really does want to come back, and
11:33
Speaker 5: he really does love it here. And the reason he
11:35
Speaker 5: signed here over some other offers, including some that he
11:37
Speaker 5: might have had a chance to compete to start more
11:39
Speaker 5: than he would have in Seattle, was but how much
11:42
Speaker 5: he loves it here he signed with the Raider or
11:45
Speaker 5: the Seahawks when right around the time his father passed
11:50
Speaker 5: away this time last year and I talked to him
11:53
Speaker 5: about that too, say, happened to be the anniversary of
11:56
Speaker 5: my father dying last year, and we talked a long
12:00
Speaker 5: time at the Super Bowl, and I mean like tears
12:02
Speaker 5: were shed about that and going through that, and he
12:06
Speaker 5: said that the Seahawks were the team he wanted to
12:09
Speaker 5: go to at that time when he was going through that.
12:13
Speaker 5: He's still upset about it, obviously, and still affected by it.
12:17
Speaker 5: And there is a lot more to playing time and
12:20
Speaker 5: money as to why he resigned with the Seahawks. I
12:22
Speaker 5: know people don't want to hear that, and you don't
12:24
Speaker 5: think it matters about culture and and tangibles. It does,
12:28
Speaker 5: and Drew Locke does not want to leave. I talked
12:31
Speaker 5: to him after the Super Bowl. I'll see you in April,
12:34
Speaker 5: so he knows he's in the contract. He tends to
12:37
Speaker 5: be here. The Seahawks love having him as in the
12:40
Speaker 5: back pocket. When he came off the bench and replaced
12:43
Speaker 5: you know Smith in that money night game against the Eagles,
12:46
Speaker 5: then defending Super Bowl champion Eagles and won the game
12:51
Speaker 5: with a two minute drill. They were like, Aha, this
12:54
Speaker 5: is why we have him, this is why we keep them.
12:56
Speaker 5: That's this is why they gave him a two year
12:58
Speaker 5: deal last year to keep him. So it would have
13:01
Speaker 5: to be quite an offer for the Seahawks to do anything.
13:03
Speaker 5: And he doesn't want to go and they don't want
13:05
Speaker 5: to lose him.
13:06
Speaker 2: What would you say, I mean, leading up to tampering period,
13:10
Speaker 2: what is number one priority you think on John Schneider
13:14
Speaker 2: and Mike McDonald's list right now.
13:18
Speaker 5: Well, I still think Rashid Shahet is the guy that
13:21
Speaker 5: would be easier to resign and wants to stay here
13:25
Speaker 5: and has a role and loves the special teams coach
13:27
Speaker 5: Ja Harbor at all of it, and would not cost
13:31
Speaker 5: as much. And I think that's the one that's going
13:34
Speaker 5: to happen. First, they need to get deeper in the
13:38
Speaker 5: offensive and defensive lines. They're going to lose a corner
13:42
Speaker 5: in defensive back or two. I think Wooland is gone,
13:46
Speaker 5: which means they need to backfill at some point with
13:48
Speaker 5: depth at corner. All the needs were talking about it.
13:54
Speaker 5: They don't have, but they only have four picks, so
13:56
Speaker 5: I think they're going to draft a running back. I
13:58
Speaker 5: think they may sign a free running back because I
14:01
Speaker 5: don't think Walkers stand either. It's the age old. I mean,
14:06
Speaker 5: this is every year in a salary cap league that
14:08
Speaker 5: this happens. You can't bring back everybody and still resign
14:12
Speaker 5: Smith and Jigba to the top of the market two
14:14
Speaker 5: hundred and almost two hundred million dollars deal and Witherspoon
14:17
Speaker 5: to a top the market cornerback. That you just can't
14:19
Speaker 5: do it all. And they are definitely keeping Smith and
14:21
Speaker 5: Jigua and Witherspoon and not letting them go into the
14:23
Speaker 5: season without a deal. So when you see the salary
14:27
Speaker 5: cap number again, what is it? Sixty plus million dollars
14:31
Speaker 5: in cap space, it's really not that much because of
14:34
Speaker 5: the Smith's and Jigba and Witherspoon's extensions are going to
14:37
Speaker 5: take up a chunk of that. And they do have
14:40
Speaker 5: multiple deed they're Super Bowl champion, but again in the
14:43
Speaker 5: cap league, you still have needs.
14:46
Speaker 1: Well we'll close with this. I mean, the stories weren't
14:50
Speaker 1: that big. It's not like Tyle Kotta and George Hallani
14:53
Speaker 1: had a lot of wiggle room here. So but the
14:55
Speaker 1: Seahawks did tend to them offers yesterday and it gives
14:58
Speaker 1: us a chance to talk about the two guys Ocatta,
15:02
Speaker 1: particularly that contributed to the Super Bowl championship. I mean, man,
15:07
Speaker 1: when the preseason games were going on, I'm like this,
15:09
Speaker 1: tyle Kata has no shot at making this team, and
15:12
Speaker 1: yet by the end of the year, what an asset
15:16
Speaker 1: he ended up being for this team. So gives us
15:19
Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk about two guys on the depth
15:22
Speaker 1: chart that did a couple of things this year.
15:25
Speaker 5: They did, they sure did in Okada's case. Just a
15:27
Speaker 5: quick refresher for fans that don't know what exclusive rights
15:30
Speaker 5: free agents are years. Almost always they were signed as
15:33
Speaker 5: undrafted rookies or off waivers, as young players, players without
15:38
Speaker 5: tenure who can't qualify for unrestricted free agency, whose contract
15:41
Speaker 5: SMS because you didn't draft them, you didn't give them
15:44
Speaker 5: four year deals. They were in year to year deals,
15:46
Speaker 5: and then they exceed by playing time they qualify for
15:52
Speaker 5: exclusive rights status. And exclusive rights means if the team
15:56
Speaker 5: tenders them a deal, they can only play with that team.
16:00
Speaker 5: If you don't tender them, they can become unrestricted free agents.
16:02
Speaker 5: But once you tender them, unless they decide to sit
16:05
Speaker 5: out the whole year and not accept the offer, which
16:07
Speaker 5: would be stupid because you don't have a tenured year
16:10
Speaker 5: toward free agency. You're playing it just above minimum salary
16:14
Speaker 5: for this year. So that's what they are, just above
16:15
Speaker 5: a million dollars for each and it was always a
16:18
Speaker 5: fatal company that they were coming back. McDonald loves to
16:22
Speaker 5: put film on of the plays that Okada makes after
16:25
Speaker 5: games because he is a grassroots, self made, homegrown guy
16:30
Speaker 5: in the program who does everything right, practicing preparation, assignments,
16:37
Speaker 5: a quarterback on the field, who marks out formations and
16:40
Speaker 5: signals before the snap that are on point with what
16:43
Speaker 5: McDonald wants. The very first game against San Francisco, when
16:47
Speaker 5: Nicki Monmoorri got hit hurt on the fourth player of
16:50
Speaker 5: the game and they brought in Oka man Kyle Shanahan,
16:53
Speaker 5: the forty nine ers went after him first down, the
16:55
Speaker 5: kittle touchdown, the kittle boom, boom boom, and they actually
17:01
Speaker 5: benched Okada. Mike McDonald did in that game because they
17:05
Speaker 5: were trying to have him play nick even Warrior's role,
17:07
Speaker 5: which the Yorks quickly turned found out nobody can play.
17:11
Speaker 5: That was when even Worri's playing more of a Nikolin's
17:13
Speaker 5: slot corner spot. Then when Julian Love got hurt after
17:18
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks later and was out nine weeks,
17:21
Speaker 5: they put o'cada in the back of the defense in
17:23
Speaker 5: Love's role, and he flourished and he was a short
17:27
Speaker 5: tackler and he was assignment sound. He was great and
17:32
Speaker 5: he really helped them. I mean they won what fourteen
17:35
Speaker 5: games in a row to end the season, and about
17:37
Speaker 5: eight or nine of them kyo Cotta started and then
17:42
Speaker 5: it was like, well, this guy's stand need's a fixture here. Halani,
17:46
Speaker 5: by the way, was very good in the postseason. Once
17:49
Speaker 5: the Charbonnay went out. He didn't get a ton of opportunities,
17:51
Speaker 5: but when he did, he made guys miss. They had
17:54
Speaker 5: him in on third downs for pass blocking, but in
17:56
Speaker 5: a few times they gave him the ball and threw
17:57
Speaker 5: to him. He was making dudes missing title games, starter
18:01
Speaker 5: vetering guys. I know Boys is excited about him and
18:05
Speaker 5: how he did at the end of the season and
18:06
Speaker 5: former Boys of State Bronco two guys. People don't talk
18:09
Speaker 5: about a lot. To just do their jobs when it's
18:11
Speaker 5: time and that's how you win championships.
18:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oct was. It was terrific. Just him and
18:16
Speaker 1: Drake Thomas. They just kept getting better.
18:18
Speaker 5: Me too.

19:12
Speaker 1: Coppola Diamond Prosecco. All right, coming up next, It wasn't
19:17
Speaker 1: long for Bucky and I to realize who was creating
19:20
Speaker 1: the buzz at camp. It was two people, and yet
19:23
Speaker 1: one of those young players might have surpassed the other.
19:27
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next Sports Radio ninety three point
19:30
Speaker 1: three kjrf M. Look at the two of us. We're
19:35
Speaker 1: practically physical twins, you and I Ryan. You know it's
19:38
Speaker 1: at Illinois upbringing.
19:40
Speaker 2: Think you've got some different Illinois water shot than here.
19:47
Speaker 1: Oh we don't have the same mother, that's for sure,
19:52
Speaker 1: but pretty much brothers close, share the same blood, same
19:57
Speaker 1: soil in our veins.
19:58
Speaker 2: I would say both of your both men, and you're
20:02
Speaker 2: both both have wieners.
20:03
Speaker 1: Uh ye, and that's good. It's important both alive, Yes,
20:10
Speaker 1: living beings. I'm still trying. I'm trying to think of
20:13
Speaker 1: something else. Uh. Yeah, I didn't go I didn't go there.
20:16
Speaker 1: I thought that's what you said. Yeah, I didn't. Wasn't
20:18
Speaker 1: talking about size necessarily.
20:20
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a he's a very strong body, right.
20:26
Speaker 1: Another similarity.
20:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just go ahead. I'm gonna go ahead and
20:31
Speaker 2: stop because I'm trying to find more similarities.
20:33
Speaker 3: I think you're going to make it better.
20:34
Speaker 2: You're kind of just getting stuck on one that you
20:37
Speaker 2: think is similar, and I'm not sure. I mean, when
20:40
Speaker 2: you're right practically, Okay, sure, let's just go with that.
20:44
Speaker 1: A couple of years you and the young Ryan Sloan,
20:49
Speaker 1: master Blaster is what I'm calling him. I'm just a
20:52
Speaker 1: master blaster runs border Town. I'm just picturing Perry Hill
20:58
Speaker 1: sitting in a bucket seat on the mound with him
21:01
Speaker 1: when he pitches, telling him what pitches to throw because
21:04
Speaker 1: he knows how he's aligned his defense. And then Sloan
21:07
Speaker 1: just throws a one hundred and five mile per hour
21:10
Speaker 1: fastball past someone and you'll stop it. Yeah, Masters ruins
21:15
Speaker 1: border Town, stop it, stop it? Yeah, I could. I
21:19
Speaker 1: can see Perry up there his shoulders. I don't know
21:22
Speaker 1: if that's allowed, the master Boster. If Perry I'll can
21:26
Speaker 1: sit on his shoulders, if you could still with a
21:30
Speaker 1: guy on your shoulders, I think they'd be fine with it. Yeah.
21:34
Speaker 3: I think everyone would want to see it. No one
21:35
Speaker 3: would be like, no, no, that's not the rules.
21:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
21:38
Speaker 1: Well, he's strong enough that if anybody could pull it off.
21:41
Speaker 1: At his young Ryan Sloan with his pink cheeks that
21:44
Speaker 1: still get red when he you know, runs across the field,
21:49
Speaker 1: shows you he hasn't even reached puberty yet, and he's
21:52
Speaker 1: six foot five inches tall, two hundred and twenty five
21:55
Speaker 1: pounds with one of the great lower halves of any
21:58
Speaker 1: pitchers you've seen since Roger Clemens or Nolan Ryan. That's
22:02
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. And when we arrived at spring
22:04
Speaker 1: training last week, we weren't in the doors for five minutes,
22:09
Speaker 1: and you could hear the buzz, feel the buzz Kate
22:13
Speaker 1: Anderson and Ryan Sloan were creating down in spring training,
22:16
Speaker 1: their two top pitching prospects. And now, not that Kate
22:21
Speaker 1: Anderson has done anything wrong, not that his buzz has
22:25
Speaker 1: diminished in his one start on Saturday, but Ryan Sloan
22:30
Speaker 1: might have. His buzz might have gotten louder. As a
22:33
Speaker 1: matter of fact, it did. He went out Sunday, in
22:36
Speaker 1: his first time facing major league hitters, faced three viable
22:40
Speaker 1: major league experienced hitters. Through twelve pitches, set him down
22:45
Speaker 1: one two three, struck out one with a ninety eight
22:48
Speaker 1: mile per hour fastball at the top rail, through ten
22:51
Speaker 1: strikes to just two balls, which means he went right
22:54
Speaker 1: after them and they had no chance. For that given inning,
22:57
Speaker 1: they had no chance against him, and since that time
23:00
Speaker 1: the buzz has just grown deafening around this young pitcher.
23:04
Speaker 1: I even heard somebody from MLB Network saying the other
23:07
Speaker 1: day there's no way that he's not one of the
23:10
Speaker 1: top three pitching prospects in the sport right now. And
23:13
Speaker 1: that's just what that little short sample size of that
23:17
Speaker 1: outing on Sunday sort of putting the exclamation mark behind
23:23
Speaker 1: the story of Ryan Sloane at Mariner's spring training so far.
23:27
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's I mean the fact that it's
23:30
Speaker 2: even a conversation and possibly knocked him off the headlines
23:34
Speaker 2: that I mean, Kate Anderson going out there his first
23:36
Speaker 2: big league start or you know, performance and striking out
23:40
Speaker 2: the side in his first inning is pretty impressive. And yet, yeah,
23:44
Speaker 2: what Ryan Sloane did is still it's almost like when
23:47
Speaker 2: Kate Anderson did, You're like, well, that's impressive, but I
23:50
Speaker 2: kind of was expecting him to be unbelievable because of
23:54
Speaker 2: how polished he is. Ryan Sloane is a guy who
23:56
Speaker 2: we've known is an up and coming prospect. Last year
24:01
Speaker 2: when people were mentioning his name, as you know, would
24:05
Speaker 2: is this a guy you'd have to give away to
24:07
Speaker 2: go get Josh Naylor, to go get somebody. Everybody in
24:11
Speaker 2: the organization is like, no chance, we're not moving on that.
24:14
Speaker 2: And then we got to put eyes on him for
24:17
Speaker 2: the first time. And you can see why because the
24:20
Speaker 2: fact that it's as an absolute thoroughbread of a body
24:24
Speaker 2: and then his I think he's one hundred percent bought
24:27
Speaker 2: into the pitching philosophy that obviously works in the Mariner's
24:30
Speaker 2: organization of you know, controlling the zone, pounding the zone.
24:33
Speaker 2: Basically we believe our stuff is better than your ability
24:36
Speaker 2: to hit it and just attacking you. And I can
24:39
Speaker 2: tell you as a former hitter, it's not fun when
24:41
Speaker 2: you're facing somebody that has good stuff and has that mentality.
24:45
Speaker 2: And for him looking like a kid, I don't think
24:49
Speaker 2: what's going on between the ears behind those rosy red
24:51
Speaker 2: cheeks you're talking about, I don't think it's like very
24:54
Speaker 2: friendly like a kid. He's seemed very nice to us,
24:57
Speaker 2: you know, oh man, because he's and he hasn't done
25:01
Speaker 2: a whole lot of media stuff. But I have a
25:03
Speaker 2: feeling that there's an absolute mercenary going on inside of
25:08
Speaker 2: his head when he's on the mound, right, I mean,
25:09
Speaker 2: just because of the stuff that he has, the way
25:11
Speaker 2: in which he throws. It is a try to hit
25:14
Speaker 2: that motherflower, you know, try to come after I dare
25:18
Speaker 2: you to try to hit me. And it kind of
25:21
Speaker 2: jumps out of his hand as if he's going out
25:22
Speaker 2: there and absolutely trying to assault you.
25:25
Speaker 1: And it's one thing through ninety nine. I was expecting
25:27
Speaker 1: that on Sunday. But to me, the ten strikes versus
25:30
Speaker 1: two balls, I mean, there's no doubt the first time
25:35
Speaker 1: that you're gonna face major league here is the first
25:36
Speaker 1: time you face major league pitching. It's gonna be a
25:38
Speaker 1: little bit of nerves. Sure, you know, there's gonna be
25:41
Speaker 1: a little bit of Man, there's an awful lot of
25:44
Speaker 1: noise around me. He's got to be aware of it.
25:46
Speaker 1: And now I got to go out and show them
25:49
Speaker 1: I can do this. And for him to just go
25:51
Speaker 1: out there just like easy chair easy at Sunday morning,
25:55
Speaker 1: you know, just rock and fire, as my dad used
25:58
Speaker 1: to tell me when I you know, started to get
26:00
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, frazzled on the mound. Just
26:03
Speaker 1: rock and fire. And he just went out there on
26:05
Speaker 1: Sunday facing major league hitters, warm day, rosy red cheeks
26:10
Speaker 1: and all, and just rock and fired and got the
26:13
Speaker 1: results that you're looking for. There's something to the mentality of,
26:18
Speaker 1: you know, I'm twenty, I'm from a small town in
26:23
Speaker 1: northern Illinois where we probably never had more than one
26:26
Speaker 1: hundred people at one of my games, and yet I
26:31
Speaker 1: can show up at big league spring training, I can
26:34
Speaker 1: face major league hitters for the first time in a
26:36
Speaker 1: game setting, and I'm not rattled at all, Like, not
26:41
Speaker 1: a bit. I'm going to throw eighty five percent strikes.
26:46
Speaker 1: I'm going to go right after the hitters, and let's
26:49
Speaker 1: see if these major league hitters can hit my.
26:51
Speaker 2: High school stuffy Well, I mean, yeah, I don remember
26:55
Speaker 2: what we asked her. If you asked her, I asked it,
26:58
Speaker 2: but it was something along the lines of, you know,
27:01
Speaker 2: during the off season, you know you kind of feel
27:03
Speaker 2: your star rising or getting brighter. What was it that
27:07
Speaker 2: your is your main thing that you're working on, right,
27:09
Speaker 2: there's always room for improving. You're always trying to hone
27:12
Speaker 2: your craft more. And He's like, really, just get better
27:16
Speaker 2: at doing what I do, which is, you know, be
27:18
Speaker 2: able to throw all five of my pitches for strikes
27:21
Speaker 2: whenever I want.
27:22
Speaker 1: What huh?
27:25
Speaker 2: Like I pitched all the way through college. I could
27:27
Speaker 2: throw one pitch for a strike kind of when I
27:29
Speaker 2: wanted my fastball.
27:32
Speaker 1: That's it.
27:33
Speaker 2: So to be able to have five plus pitches, right,
27:36
Speaker 2: and I'd say like two or three of them are
27:38
Speaker 2: plus plus pitches, but the other ones are still plus pitches.
27:41
Speaker 2: And to be able to be confident at twenty years
27:44
Speaker 2: old to be able to throw any of them for
27:46
Speaker 2: strikes whenever you want. Then you're working ahead. You constantly
27:50
Speaker 2: have the hitters on their heels. That is where the
27:52
Speaker 2: confidence you're speaking of is. Yeah, first big league's been
27:55
Speaker 2: training against big league hitters. This is my chance before
27:59
Speaker 2: I'm going to down to the minor leagues. He knows
28:01
Speaker 2: what the rotation looks like above him, he knows he's
28:03
Speaker 2: not making the club out of spring training, and so
28:06
Speaker 2: he's like, this is my chance to kind of show
28:08
Speaker 2: the team, you know, my teammates, my and then the
28:11
Speaker 2: you know, the coaches and the organization how close I
28:15
Speaker 2: am when it comes to how close I am to
28:17
Speaker 2: get in big leg hitters out. And he doesn't have
28:20
Speaker 2: a doubt in his mind that what he has is
28:22
Speaker 2: capable of getting it done. And I mean that's just
28:25
Speaker 2: plain and simple. His stuff is good enough to get
28:27
Speaker 2: it done. It's will your mind get in the way.
28:30
Speaker 2: And I don't think that there's any part of him
28:31
Speaker 2: that thinks, Man, I'm a small kid from a small town.
28:34
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can do this. It's the
28:36
Speaker 2: exact oppice. It's like, yeah, I'm a small kid from
28:38
Speaker 2: a small town, but look what comes out of my
28:41
Speaker 2: hand when I let it rip, when I rock and fire,
28:44
Speaker 2: good luck. I don't care whether I'm coming from some
28:47
Speaker 2: big place, you know. I don't care if I had
28:49
Speaker 2: four years at LSU and I'm more polished, you know,
28:52
Speaker 2: I have more experience against better competition. Just bring the
28:56
Speaker 2: best competition up here. I can throw any pitch I
28:57
Speaker 2: want for a strike whenever I want. And they're all
28:59
Speaker 2: now yeah.
29:00
Speaker 1: And I just want to clarify before we in the conversation,
29:03
Speaker 1: Like I get that he's a victim of overhype. Not
29:07
Speaker 1: I mean nothing that he intended, it's just how people
29:10
Speaker 1: are reacting to him. And I'm not going to be
29:12
Speaker 1: one of those talk show hoes that hides behind it
29:14
Speaker 1: because I'm afraid I'm going to jinx him or jinks
29:16
Speaker 1: the team. I'm just relaying to you the type of
29:20
Speaker 1: hysteria that this guy's generated inside the facility, not hysteria,
29:26
Speaker 1: but the excitement, the enthusiasm for what they might have,
29:30
Speaker 1: what kind of a special talent that they might have,
29:34
Speaker 1: And then for his mentality to have remained even keel
29:37
Speaker 1: where he's just going about it like, hey, this is
29:40
Speaker 1: a business. I'm just trying to get better every day.
29:43
Speaker 1: That also marries to, you know, the reasons why we
29:47
Speaker 1: should be excited about this young man. And yes, I
29:50
Speaker 1: know he's going to get rocked. He's gonna get rocked
29:52
Speaker 1: probably for spring training ends, but that's part of the
29:56
Speaker 1: growth process as well. And the reason that I keep
30:00
Speaker 1: talking about his baby face and his rosy cheeks is
30:03
Speaker 1: this because you don't hear this about a lot of prospects.
30:06
Speaker 1: They believe he's not done growing. Like he's that young
30:11
Speaker 1: looking in the face. You see him from Afar and
30:14
Speaker 1: you're like, jeez, when did when did we When did
30:18
Speaker 1: we sign Christian McCaffrey, you know, six foot five Christian McCaffrey,
30:23
Speaker 1: like or probably could come up with a better example
30:26
Speaker 1: than that, because he's kind of short and stunted, but
30:29
Speaker 1: but when did we sign? When did we sign you
30:32
Speaker 1: know the mountain you see from across the way, And
30:35
Speaker 1: then he comes up and you're like, oh, he's like nine,
30:39
Speaker 1: he's nine years old with a man body. They think
30:43
Speaker 1: he might still grow, he might still be filling out.
30:47
Speaker 2: Oh he's gonna fill out. There's no chance he's done
30:50
Speaker 2: getting big, like man strong, he's got He is a
30:55
Speaker 2: stud of a young man, right, like an old boy.
30:58
Speaker 1: But I mean you always had I was the king
31:00
Speaker 1: in my grade school that was like done growing like
31:03
Speaker 1: fifteen fourteen. David Robinson didn't even really start growing until
31:07
Speaker 1: he was twenty two, went from six four to seven
31:11
Speaker 1: to one in a winter. You know, he's he's going
31:17
Speaker 1: to grow more, like he might get taller. Yet he's
31:21
Speaker 1: definitely going to fill out and we might not. He
31:24
Speaker 1: was throwing ninety nine Sunday. Who knows where that ends up.
31:27
Speaker 1: I mean he's hitting one hundred in bullpen sessions with
31:30
Speaker 1: the radar gun right now. So that's things that take us. Yeah,
31:35
Speaker 1: that's what makes them a little bit different than most
31:38
Speaker 1: prospects is that, yes, he's a hot prospect, but he
31:42
Speaker 1: still is physically not mature yet. The fact that its
31:47
Speaker 1: effortless as it is.
31:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the dude's going to be good. He's
31:51
Speaker 2: on the do not touch list. Yeah, for everyone, and
31:53
Speaker 2: rightfully so, because I mean, this isn't who are we
31:58
Speaker 2: I don't remember who it was we were talking to,
32:00
Speaker 2: but somebody's I mean, somebody ended up saying I wouldn't
32:03
Speaker 2: be surprised if you got the next Max Freed and
32:06
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole on your hands. When you're talking about Kate
32:08
Speaker 2: and that's right, Kate Anderson, Ryan Sloan, those are the comparison.
32:12
Speaker 1: Anytimes people do comps, they always pick some great player, but.
32:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, they never they're not gonna comp somebody that's not
32:19
Speaker 2: even remotely close to that. Some you know guy that is,
32:24
Speaker 2: you know, maybe going to make the low eight club.
32:27
Speaker 5: There.
32:27
Speaker 2: Nobody's saying that that might be the next Garrett Cole
32:30
Speaker 2: right there.
32:31
Speaker 1: No, that's absolutely exciting, all right? Coming up next, maybe
32:35
Speaker 1: maybe the next Ryan Sloan is going to be playing
32:39
Speaker 1: this year for the Bulls. Yeah right. Sports Radio ninety
32:46
Speaker 1: three point three kJ R f M. Yeah.
32:48
Speaker 3: Before probably the newspaper clippings, Yeah yeah.
32:51
Speaker 1: Wow, wow. I wish I would have been there to
32:54
Speaker 1: hear that. That was touching. I bet it was really touching.
32:58
Speaker 1: You know, we in Illinois, we you know every pitcher
33:01
Speaker 1: that ever pitched. Yeah, there's only seven of us, is
33:04
Speaker 1: that it? Yeah? Yeah, so well, easy to keep track,
33:07
Speaker 1: makes sense. I could imagine him.
33:09
Speaker 2: He did have a little bit of like a starstruck looking.
33:12
Speaker 2: He was looking at like he was nervous, like I
33:15
Speaker 2: can't believe him choking to the Powell right now.
33:19
Speaker 3: I would tell you he sounded starstruck.
33:22
Speaker 1: You I remember the stories about how you'd throw your
33:26
Speaker 1: warm ups and almost hit the mid eighties.
33:29
Speaker 5: Wow.
33:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, the next Ryan Sloan might be
33:34
Speaker 1: pitching in for Bucky's team. Who knows? Who knows? Little
33:39
Speaker 1: league meeting yesterday, big deal, last night, first practice, first
33:43
Speaker 1: practice last night. Chose your team name last night? Yep, yep, yep,
33:47
Speaker 1: we did.
33:47
Speaker 2: We hear the the Emeralds. It's well, it's after the

Speaker 1: Uh. We did it.
34:57
Speaker 2: We had a first practice and I was pleasantly super
35:00
Speaker 2: I was. It still is going to be a difficult
35:03
Speaker 2: season because it's the first year of kid pitch, so
35:05
Speaker 2: a lot of walks, yep, guarantees, a lot.
35:08
Speaker 3: Of hit batters take a long time, YEP.
35:10
Speaker 1: I already know. I remember playing, I remember doing.
35:13
Speaker 2: It and not being able to throw strikes, and so
35:17
Speaker 2: that's going to happen.
35:18
Speaker 1: But I was.
35:19
Speaker 2: Very pleasantly surprised as to how good the team was.
35:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I got a couple kids that are really good.
35:25
Speaker 2: Most of the kids are good or decent, you know,
35:29
Speaker 2: and there's a couple that are just learning. But for
35:31
Speaker 2: the most part, fielded the ground balls. We did a
35:34
Speaker 2: lot of playing catch. I went from just regular playing catch,
35:37
Speaker 2: then playing catch how you would need to do in
35:39
Speaker 2: a game, getting your body going towards your target, and
35:42
Speaker 2: then even some kind of coming set from the stretch,
35:45
Speaker 2: so some pitching stuff to work on getting your So
35:48
Speaker 2: a lot of playing catch, and then we did some
35:49
Speaker 2: ground balls. Then I did some base running. How you
35:52
Speaker 2: run through first and then I take a turn on
35:54
Speaker 2: a ball that gets through the infield, and then how
35:55
Speaker 2: you take a turn right off the bat. And then
35:57
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, let me see your home run, Trots.
36:00
Speaker 2: I don't have one kid that pimped a home run?
36:01
Speaker 1: Really, is that right?
36:03
Speaker 2: Even though I had wont to assist, my assistant coach
36:04
Speaker 2: Joe was like, come on, guys, I mean you've seen
36:07
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor. He does a little something when he hits it,
36:11
Speaker 2: Show a little emotion, show your personality. Next kid just
36:14
Speaker 2: sprints around the bases, again. I'm like, I love that
36:16
Speaker 2: we don't have any kids bat flipping and.
36:19
Speaker 3: Wait, give it practice, give it a month, and then they're
36:21
Speaker 3: gonna be like, you know what, now I'm more comfortable with.
36:24
Speaker 3: I think my coach is really gonna like it.
36:25
Speaker 1: If I laugh. There's a bunch of Matt Williams. That's right,
36:30
Speaker 1: head down, down and run. Run, Act like you've done
36:33
Speaker 1: it before, even though you've never done.
36:35
Speaker 3: It, even though your heart is jumping out of your
36:38
Speaker 3: chest as you did it for the first time, and
36:39
Speaker 3: you want to just like never worm around the bases.
36:42
Speaker 1: It was really impressive that Barry Sanders never celebrated a
36:46
Speaker 1: touchdown and acted like he'd done it before because he'd
36:48
Speaker 1: done it so many times before. But to never act
36:51
Speaker 1: like you've never done it before when you've never done
36:54
Speaker 1: it before. Boy, you got a special group. Well, I think.
36:56
Speaker 2: I think the first time you hit a home run,
36:58
Speaker 2: you don't even realize you hit a home run.
37:01
Speaker 1: I remember my first home run.
37:02
Speaker 2: I hit it and I'm running around the bases and
37:05
Speaker 2: all of a sudden it's bouncing and I recognized it's
37:07
Speaker 2: that's over the chainling fence. I can see it, but
37:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, still running hard, and then as I'm getting
37:14
Speaker 2: the third base, my third base coach is trying to
37:16
Speaker 2: give me like a high five, which you would never
37:18
Speaker 2: do when I'm running from second to home in a
37:20
Speaker 2: real game, so you know, like if the game's still live.
37:24
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, what the like round third? And
37:27
Speaker 2: then I realized now everyone's cheering, like, oh my god,
37:30
Speaker 2: I hit home. So I got I got like forty
37:33
Speaker 2: feet of celebration and I didn't even know what to
37:35
Speaker 2: do at that point.
37:36
Speaker 1: I just ran to home. And then did you pimp
37:38
Speaker 1: the forty No? No, of course I didn't.
37:40
Speaker 3: You moonwalked.
37:41
Speaker 1: I did not mind. At that was the time you
37:43
Speaker 1: learned the less thon you were going to maybe got
37:45
Speaker 1: a stern paddling for pimping your.
37:48
Speaker 3: They were like, act like you've been there before. You're like,
37:50
Speaker 3: but I haven't.
37:51
Speaker 2: Yes, no, I would have heard it, but I didn't
37:53

38:10
Speaker 3: I mean I did Bulls on parade because you were
38:11
