0:16
Speaker 5: Jumped? Any conclusions?

0:22

1:13
Speaker 5: Good morning and welcome in.
1:14
Speaker 6: It's Chuck It back in the Morning Sports Radio ninety
1:16
Speaker 6: three point three k j R FM. My name is
1:19
Speaker 6: Chuck Fowel. Former Mariner Bucket Jacobson is here, so is
1:22
Speaker 6: Ashley Ryan. As we get this home day edition of
1:25
Speaker 6: the radio program started, but not just any old run
1:28
Speaker 6: of the mill hump Day Today, Mark's Game three of
1:32
Speaker 6: the American League Championship Series. The Mariners back home to
1:36
Speaker 6: take on the Toronto Blue Jays. They happen to carry
1:39
Speaker 6: a two to o lead going into tonight's festivities and
1:43
Speaker 6: a chance to really grab a stranglehold on this ALCS.
1:48
Speaker 5: And really get the juices going.
1:50
Speaker 6: I think that Softy made it very obvious to me,
1:54
Speaker 6: like the moment that it.
1:55
Speaker 5: Happened, that's as our close US signs on.
2:00
Speaker 6: You get a win today and you're even closer to
2:01
Speaker 6: the World Series than that. This would be that marked
2:04
Speaker 6: the closest that the organization's ever gotten to the World Series,
2:07
Speaker 6: being just one win away and so certain.
2:11
Speaker 5: But I like that. I kind of like that.
2:13
Speaker 6: I like having the two oh lead kind of taken
2:16
Speaker 6: care of business, but still carrying the weight of that
2:20
Speaker 6: history with you. If there's a team that's not going
2:23
Speaker 6: to take for granted that they've got a two to
2:25
Speaker 6: oh lead in the American League Championship Series, it's going
2:29
Speaker 6: to be our Seattle Mariners. Those players feel it, they
2:32
Speaker 6: know it, they understand it. I think they've cracked a
2:35
Speaker 6: little bit under the pressure of it in the past.
2:38
Speaker 6: But to have the advantage to be have the momentum
2:42
Speaker 6: to be coming home knowing what kind of home crowd
2:45
Speaker 6: awaits you. I think it's good to carry that around
2:48
Speaker 6: a little bit because I don't think you're getting anything
2:51
Speaker 6: less than one hundred percent tonight.
2:53
Speaker 4: Yeah they're well, they're not. They're definitely not like in a.
2:56
Speaker 7: Position of like, well, we're used to this, of course,
2:59
Speaker 7: and yeah, to we know what it feels like to
3:01
Speaker 7: close this situation out. I just think about the difference
3:05
Speaker 7: between the Mariners and Dodgers. Both did the same thing,
3:08
Speaker 7: go win two games on the road, and yet you
3:11
Speaker 7: hear the Dodgers people coming out you're two wins away
3:14
Speaker 7: from the World Series again, like it just seems like.
3:18
Speaker 8: It'll be posted that yesterday on x Yeah. Yeah, Dodgers
3:21
Speaker 8: are two wins away from the World Series.
3:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, and yet it just doesn't even feel like you
3:25
Speaker 7: can go there yet as a Mariner fan, like, I
3:28
Speaker 7: mean you are, and it is, well, the first pitch tonight,
3:31
Speaker 7: you're as close.
3:32
Speaker 4: As you've ever been.
3:33
Speaker 7: And yet I think there is a part of it
3:36
Speaker 7: off if you just take like the difference between the
3:39
Speaker 7: two teams that are sitting in the same place. One
3:41
Speaker 7: is like, boy, the job being finished because of the history,
3:44
Speaker 7: because of the fact they've never achieved the goal of
3:48
Speaker 7: winning a third game in this situation, and then when
3:50
Speaker 7: in obviously the necessary fourth game.
3:52
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm with you.
3:53
Speaker 7: I think that there is, without a doubt a team
3:56
Speaker 7: of there's still work to be done. And the mission
3:59
Speaker 7: wasn't to get to the playoffs. It wasn't to just
4:01
Speaker 7: get through one round of the playoffs. It was to
4:03
Speaker 7: get to the World Series and then once you're there,
4:05
Speaker 7: you might as well win the whole LEFN thing.
4:07
Speaker 8: It was interesting though, because with that MLB tweet where
4:09
Speaker 8: they said, Dodgers are you know, two wins away from
4:11
Speaker 8: the World Series. Again, when the Mariners went up to
4:13
Speaker 8: oh in Toronto, I went back to see what they
4:15
Speaker 8: had said about like what they tweeted when we won,
4:18
Speaker 8: and it was the Mariners are take a two zero
4:21
Speaker 8: lead against Toronto and just the wording was different. But
4:24
Speaker 8: I understand that because the expectations are different, right like
4:27
Speaker 8: for our series, I think nobody thinks that our series
4:30
Speaker 8: is even close to over, whereas you can tell they
4:33
Speaker 8: think that Dodgers Brewers series is basically over because now
4:37
Speaker 8: they're heading to LA for three games.
4:42
Speaker 5: I think people think our series is over.
4:45
Speaker 6: I'm just glad that our guys don't right, Yeah.
4:49
Speaker 2: I would agree. I don't know. I haven't gotten that impression.
4:51
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, So I mean I don't I don't get
4:54
Speaker 6: I don't see a lot of don't worry about Toronto
4:58
Speaker 6: comments out there. I think that what we showed in
5:03
Speaker 6: Toronto had everybody going, oh gosh, wow, look at this
5:07
Speaker 6: Mariners team. Not only are we've been saying for years
5:11
Speaker 6: if they got in the playoffs, they would be dangerous.
5:14
Speaker 6: And now all of a sudden, they got over that
5:16
Speaker 6: first hump where the real pressure existed, and now, man,
5:20
Speaker 6: they're just playing free and easy out there right now.
5:23
Speaker 5: Don't listen to the guys in New York.
5:25
Speaker 6: New York media have their heads so far up New
5:29
Speaker 6: York's but that they don't pay attention to anybody.
5:33
Speaker 5: That's not called the Yankees, the Mets. But I don't know.
5:36
Speaker 6: I mean, we just had Harold on yesterday and asked
5:39
Speaker 6: him where's the path that the Blue Jays get back
5:42
Speaker 6: in this thing? And he says, I really don't see one.
5:45
Speaker 6: I mean, granted, he's a Mariner guy, but he's also
5:48
Speaker 6: a national guy. He's the face of the damn network,
5:50
Speaker 6: for goodness sake. So I think people believe both series
5:55
Speaker 6: are over. I'm just glad that our players don't feel
5:58
Speaker 6: that way. Won't approach it that way. Damn, We'll make
6:00
Speaker 6: sure they don't approach it that way. I want them
6:02
Speaker 6: to carry the weight of the entire city on their
6:06
Speaker 6: shoulders into tonight and acting like they don't.
6:09
Speaker 5: We can't slip up once. We don't want them back
6:11
Speaker 5: into this series.
6:13
Speaker 6: I think George goes in there with the furious intent
6:16
Speaker 6: and there is absolutely a plan to start it off
6:21
Speaker 6: three to oher and not in any way or form
6:26
Speaker 6: let Toronto think that they're back in this series.
6:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't remember.
6:30
Speaker 7: I saw somewhere what the percentages are of once you
6:33
Speaker 7: get up to zero, and it's minimal. I mean, it's
6:36
Speaker 7: not a big percentage of teams that do come back
6:39
Speaker 7: in a seven game series after going down to zip.
6:41
Speaker 7: And yet the fact that it's not zero is enough
6:45
Speaker 7: that you better not. Yeah, overlook it. It has happened
6:48
Speaker 7: before it can happen. I mean it was four I
6:52
Speaker 7: think was that first that when the Red Sox came
6:55
Speaker 7: back from down three zip right and came back, and
6:58
Speaker 7: so that was seen insurmountable at that point in time.
7:01
Speaker 7: They were still carrying the burden of the curse, and
7:04
Speaker 7: yet they ended up rallying and finding a way. So
7:07
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just you can just think. I mean,
7:10
Speaker 7: I think as a baseball player, you find yourself in
7:13
Speaker 7: the you got to stay where you are present, right
7:16
Speaker 7: and whatever happened before doesn't matter now, and we don't
7:18
Speaker 7: know what the future holds, so just treat the present
7:20
Speaker 7: like a gift. I think that that comes true in
7:23
Speaker 7: a situation like this, because the field could be completely
7:27
Speaker 7: different if tonight goes really south and all of a sudden,
7:31
Speaker 7: you're like, oh man, because I mean just two to
7:33
Speaker 7: zero feels like basically undefeat in this whole thing.
7:36
Speaker 4: I mean, kind of killing.
7:37
Speaker 7: Them right now, whereas two to one you're like, oh
7:40
Speaker 7: my goodness, you could scuffle one time here you know
7:44
Speaker 7: tomorrow and next thing you know, you find yourself feeling
7:47
Speaker 7: like they have seized all the momentum and you're in
7:49
Speaker 7: some must win situation in Game five before you got
7:53
Speaker 7: to go back to Toronto. So I think that the
7:56
Speaker 7: team gets it, and I think that there's times when
7:58
Speaker 7: the media just kind of just say, well, they look
8:01
Speaker 7: so good or they the other team, they've stifled them.
8:04
Speaker 7: I mean, coming into this series, the way in which
8:07
Speaker 7: Toronto hit against the Yankees, and now they haven't hit
8:10
Speaker 7: for two games. It doesn't mean they can't hit, you
8:13
Speaker 7: know what I mean. I heard MJ on my way
8:16
Speaker 7: home yesterday talking about Vlad Guerrero, what a disappointment. Gave
8:19
Speaker 7: him half a billion dollars. He hasn't got one hit
8:21
Speaker 7: in this whole series. It's like, Okay, dude's still pretty good.
8:25
Speaker 7: I wouldn't just think that he's pretty much.
8:27
Speaker 5: Won series by himself against the Yankees. Yeah.
8:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's still having a pretty decent postseason. He just
8:32
Speaker 7: has not gotten off the schneid when it comes to
8:35
Speaker 7: hitting against us in two games. And yet there's not
8:38
Speaker 7: a pitcher in the Mariners organization. I mean, you can
8:42
Speaker 7: talk about an a ball kid that's sitting at home
8:43
Speaker 7: watching the playoffs that isn't a little fearful of Vlad
8:46
Speaker 7: Guerrero walking up to the dish, including all the guys
8:48
Speaker 7: are going to be thrown to him.
8:49
Speaker 6: And look, DODG just did deserve the benefit of the
8:51
Speaker 6: doll They are world champions, they do they have gotten here.
8:54
Speaker 5: Many of times before. We never have.
8:57
Speaker 6: So if there is a little bit of you still
8:59
Speaker 6: got to prove it, they still got to prove it.
9:02
Speaker 6: So I mean, the Dodgers have been here, they know
9:04
Speaker 6: they've written this story before, and yeah, they look like
9:06
Speaker 6: a damn mismatch for the Milwaukee Bers. I think they
9:09
Speaker 6: are a mismatch for the Milwaukee Bears as not a
9:11
Speaker 6: great matchup. Milwaukee is a feisty ass team. It's hard
9:16
Speaker 6: to just put together singles. They're not really trying to
9:19
Speaker 6: steal bases because they've been thrown out a couple of times.
9:22
Speaker 6: They can't get on base because the Dodgers pitching has
9:24
Speaker 6: been just so dominant here throughout the entire postseason.
9:28
Speaker 5: So I don't watching that series.
9:32
Speaker 6: I don't blame people for thinking that the Dodgers ticket
9:35
Speaker 6: is already punched. I kind of feel like we have
9:37
Speaker 6: a little bit of a mismatch with the Toronto Blue Jays.
9:40
Speaker 6: I talked about it yesterday with Ryan Healy. I think
9:43
Speaker 6: we have better starting pitching. I think we have better bullpen,
9:45
Speaker 6: and I think we have a better lineup. I mean,
9:46
Speaker 6: what more do you need on paper to convince yourself
9:50
Speaker 6: you've got the better team. We've just got a better
9:52
Speaker 6: match up with them. But we don't have the history
9:57
Speaker 6: of proving that we know how to handle this situation,
10:01
Speaker 6: that we know how to handle prosperity, that we know
10:04
Speaker 6: how to finish an American League championship series, because it's
10:08
Speaker 6: never been done here before. So if there's a little
10:10
Speaker 6: bit of doubt that's been raised by national pundits, local
10:14
Speaker 6: pundits in the clubhouse, then that's been earned over fifty
10:19
Speaker 6: years of the Mariners having never gotten there before. But
10:22
Speaker 6: in terms of like who looks like the better teams,
10:25
Speaker 6: it's not just the results. The Brewers are a terrible
10:28
Speaker 6: matchup for the Dodgers, and I don't and I'd be
10:31
Speaker 6: saying something different if the Yankees would have beaten the
10:33
Speaker 6: Blue Jays. We didn't match up nearly as well with
10:35
Speaker 6: the Yankees as we do the Blue Jays. But I
10:37
Speaker 6: feel we match up very well against Toronto and should win,
10:41
Speaker 6: should win in five games.
10:43
Speaker 5: That's my expectation for him.
10:45
Speaker 6: But you still, when you've got that entire history being
10:48
Speaker 6: carried carried on your shoulders, you can't let up for
10:51
Speaker 6: one second. Keep the foot on the frickin gas pedal.
10:55
Speaker 8: Well, and I think too, Yeah, you look at that
10:58
Speaker 8: Blue Jays Yankees series and how potent the Blue Jays
11:01
Speaker 8: offense was. I think everybody just thinks, well, just give
11:04
Speaker 8: them time and they'll find their bats again. Whereas I
11:06
Speaker 8: mean in the Detroit series, after we played Errek Scuble
11:10
Speaker 8: in Game two and one, Derek Jeter went on MLB
11:13
Speaker 8: or Fox whatever it is and said, you know, we
11:17
Speaker 8: kind of forgot about the Mariner's pitching. Everybody kept talking
11:19
Speaker 8: about Trek Scooble, Trek scoobl Trek Scuble.
11:21
Speaker 2: We forgot about the Mariner's pitching. And I think that.
11:23
Speaker 8: That's kind of been because it's a more of everybody's
11:28
Speaker 8: just as good on our team. We don't have mediocre
11:31
Speaker 8: pitching in that one ace, so people don't tend to
11:34
Speaker 8: look at us as a collective of dominant pitching.
11:38
Speaker 7: I think the idea, yeah, I mean, you need to
11:41
Speaker 7: have a well rounded team. You'd look at the four
11:43
Speaker 7: teams that are left in this thing, and they're all
11:45
Speaker 7: dangerous in their own right.
11:47
Speaker 5: They all deserve to be where they are.
11:48
Speaker 7: They all have some danger in their lineup, and they
11:51
Speaker 7: all have some good pitching. I think that yesterday you
11:56
Speaker 7: saw and you heard it on the broadcast when talking
11:58
Speaker 7: about the length of the Dodgers' lineup.
12:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
12:01
Speaker 7: And they had a dude out there that decides to
12:03
Speaker 7: just go complete game on you too, CG.
12:05
Speaker 4: How's that taste.
12:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe a bullpen is suspect, Well, get it pretty
12:11
Speaker 7: good if they all just stay in the bullpen.
12:13
Speaker 4: It's a really good bullpen.
12:14
Speaker 7: Matter of fact, you can't score a run on them
12:16
Speaker 7: if they never come in the game, and that's not
12:18
Speaker 7: going to continue to happen. But I think that it's
12:21
Speaker 7: something we've talked about because we follow this team. And
12:24
Speaker 7: yet even if you do pay attention to it, to
12:27
Speaker 7: your point, actually, even if you do recognize how good
12:29
Speaker 7: the Mariner's pitching staff is, it's not something that is typical.
12:33
Speaker 7: This is not something you typically watch where you get
12:35
Speaker 7: to see It's like you talk about, you can never
12:38
Speaker 7: take a deep breath. You can never take a deep
12:41
Speaker 7: breath when you have a deep lineup. Think about you
12:43
Speaker 7: get down into the six spot and it's Tasker Hernandez
12:46
Speaker 7: or yesterday or whatever.
12:48
Speaker 4: Think about it.
12:48
Speaker 7: On the other hand, when you're a hitter and you
12:51
Speaker 7: never get to take a breath based on who's going
12:53
Speaker 7: to be starting against you the next day, Whereas there
12:55
Speaker 7: is times I can tell you from experience, you all
12:58
Speaker 7: of a sudden are facing some dude, it's not their best,
13:01
Speaker 7: it's the third or fourth best pitcher, and you're like, today,
13:05
Speaker 7: I'm having a day today, you know, I mean, I'm
13:07
Speaker 7: feeling good about the way that things are going to
13:09
Speaker 7: go today. You can't have that feeling. I don't care
13:11
Speaker 7: who it is that the Mariners are running out there
13:13
Speaker 7: against you, And so it's just kind of one of
13:15
Speaker 7: those constantly walking up hill when it comes to trying
13:18
Speaker 7: to generate offense against the squad.
13:20
Speaker 6: Well, it's the best starting rotation in baseball. And maybe
13:24
Speaker 6: Philadelphia could have had that argument before Zach Wheeler went down,
13:28
Speaker 6: but nobody else can make that argument. The Dodgers went healthy.
13:33
Speaker 6: They have the ability to make that argument, and we're
13:35
Speaker 6: seeing it. They're finally all healthy. They got healthy at
13:38
Speaker 6: the right time this year as opposed to a year ago.
13:41
Speaker 6: They can make that argument potentially, and they're playing like
13:44
Speaker 6: it right now.
13:45
Speaker 5: And they're going to be a really.
13:46
Speaker 6: Difficult matchup if in fact we do meet the Dodgers
13:49
Speaker 6: in the in the World Series. But yeah, I believe me.
13:53
Speaker 6: You know, maybe Derek Jeter was sleeping on it. No
13:55
Speaker 6: national people were sleeping on the Marion. And they've been
13:57
Speaker 6: talking about for five years how great this team's pitch,
14:01
Speaker 6: and know how relentless that they can be, night after
14:04
Speaker 6: night after night coming at you. And we'll see it
14:07
Speaker 6: hopefully tonight with George Kirby. Also something that people are
14:12
Speaker 6: a little worried about showing up tonight is how much
14:16
Speaker 6: Royal Blue is going to be in the stadium. We
14:19
Speaker 6: know during the regular season that Toronto fans, Canadian baseball
14:25
Speaker 6: fans who have adopted the Blue Jays as their team
14:28
Speaker 6: from coast to coast make their way down and kind
14:31
Speaker 6: of take over the stadium during the regular season, so
14:34
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of concern about whether or not
14:37
Speaker 6: that's going to happen tonight. I really can't answer that.
14:40
Speaker 6: I don't know of any well, maybe some ticket people can.
14:43
Speaker 5: I don't know what to expect on that front. I'm
14:48
Speaker 5: assuming the.
14:50
Speaker 6: Way that they sell tickets for the postseason and the
14:53
Speaker 6: fact that Mariner fans who might have tickets have probably
14:57
Speaker 6: held onto them much more tightly than they would have
15:00
Speaker 6: a regular season ticket to make sure that that doesn't happen.
15:04
Speaker 6: But certainly there's going to be a few people that
15:07
Speaker 6: bought tickets initially with the plan of selling tickets at
15:11
Speaker 6: some point, Donald, I want to go to one or
15:13
Speaker 6: two games, and then I want to sell a ticket
15:15
Speaker 6: to some Canadian uh, and then I get to go.
15:19
Speaker 5: Then that means I could have gone for free, or
15:20
Speaker 5: w I did go for free. I can't.
15:23
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody can handicap this. I have no
15:26
Speaker 6: idea what to expect. I certainly predict that it won't
15:30
Speaker 6: be like it looks like in the regular season. But
15:34
Speaker 6: I'm also just as sure that it's going to be
15:37
Speaker 6: a lot more Toronto weed than it was Detroit Y
15:40
Speaker 6: last week.
15:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
15:42
Speaker 7: I mean, they're still going to have some folks that
15:44
Speaker 7: are coming down, and yeah, some people are selling tickets
15:47
Speaker 7: for the reasons you explained. It's like, oh again, buy
15:50
Speaker 7: a little strip here for you know, whether it's through
15:53
Speaker 7: all of the playoffs and I can give up a
15:55
Speaker 7: couple and get some of my money back. I don't
15:57
Speaker 7: even have a problem with that. I actually don't even
16:00
Speaker 7: mind it. It's definitely not going to be like it
16:02
Speaker 7: is in the regular season. When you can plan ahead
16:04
Speaker 7: for months to make a trip down here to watch
16:06
Speaker 7: your Blue Jays play, and it's you know, beautiful weather,
16:10
Speaker 7: and it's not going to be near the takeover that
16:12
Speaker 7: we see during the regular season. And to some degree,
16:15
Speaker 7: I kind of think, because you are going to get
16:18
Speaker 7: a full house of mostly Mariner fans, that if they
16:21
Speaker 7: try there, let's go Blue Jay.
16:23
Speaker 4: If they try that, it's going to get drowned out quickly.
16:25
Speaker 5: You know.
16:25
Speaker 7: It's actually going to give the Mariner fans an opportunity
16:28
Speaker 7: to be like, no, no, And so I'm expecting it
16:31
Speaker 7: to be hyped. I mean, even though there's definitely gonna
16:34
Speaker 7: be more Blue Jay fans here than we saw Tiger fans,
16:37
Speaker 7: not enough that.
16:38
Speaker 4: It's going to matter.
16:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's one thing that I was I was, I
16:41
Speaker 8: guess maybe surprised by is that I didn't see a
16:44
Speaker 8: lot of Tigers fans. I think I would have expected
16:46
Speaker 8: to see more given that it was Game five, but
16:48
Speaker 8: at the same time, knowing that they hadn't even really
16:51
Speaker 8: shown up in their own stadium, I suppose.
16:53
Speaker 6: I was a fan base with respecting the Mariners. I
16:55
Speaker 6: don't think they ever expected to beat us.
16:57
Speaker 1: No, I.
16:59
Speaker 2: Mean, we've seeing Game four in that stadium.
17:01
Speaker 8: It didn't seem like it, And so I do think
17:05
Speaker 8: there are going to be a good number, and that
17:06
Speaker 8: is annoying. But I mean, kudos to them, Good on
17:09
Speaker 8: them for supporting their team. But yeah, we've got to
17:11
Speaker 8: We've got a job to do. Mariunderstands it's not just
17:13
Speaker 8: the team that has a job to do. Mariners fans
17:15
Speaker 8: have a job to do and a responsibility to not
17:17
Speaker 8: let those fans take over the stadium.
17:18
Speaker 6: A responsibility that's right to walk that dog. Well, I again,
17:24
Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean, I've had a lot of
17:25
Speaker 6: people ask is they're.
17:26
Speaker 5: Gonna be I don't know.
17:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one doesn't.
17:29
Speaker 5: I mean maybe, I hope not. I'm certainly it's not
17:32
Speaker 5: going to be as bad. I don't know how to
17:35
Speaker 5: control that.
17:35
Speaker 6: I don't know if the Mariners know how to control that.
17:39
Speaker 6: So on an individual basis, if any everybody that's a
17:42
Speaker 6: Mariner fan decides to sell their tickets to make up
17:45
Speaker 6: for it, and they think to themselves, well it's just
17:47
Speaker 6: one ticket, it's just two tickets. Well, if you know
17:50
Speaker 6: a thousand people do that, well they're going to get infiltrated.
17:54
Speaker 6: I have no idea what to expect with this, but
17:58
Speaker 6: I'm certainly trust that it's not going to be as
18:02
Speaker 6: bad as it was during the regular season. And I'm
18:06
Speaker 6: also trusting that we're going to have kind of a
18:09
Speaker 6: maniacal crowd like we did on Friday, because that was
18:12
Speaker 6: some impressive stuff to see to close out the Tigers.
18:15
Speaker 6: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
18:18
Speaker 6: radio program.
18:21
Speaker 1: What's on TEP, what's on TEP?
18:24
Speaker 6: All right, five pm start tonight. It will be Shane
18:27
Speaker 6: Bieber going against George Kirby. Angie Mentink will join us
18:30
Speaker 6: today as she has all season long, and of course
18:33
Speaker 6: you don't get as much Angie in your life these
18:35
Speaker 6: days now that the national networks have taken over coverage
18:38
Speaker 6: from the local people. So I'm sure you're very curious
18:42
Speaker 6: to hear what Angie has to say about the way
18:44
Speaker 6: the series is going. So we'll talk to her at
18:46
Speaker 6: eight thirty. Also, comedian Dustin Nickerson, who is become one
18:51
Speaker 6: of our favorite Mariner fans out there. He's going to
18:53
Speaker 6: be joining us today at nine thirty. If you're not
18:56
Speaker 6: following along with him, living and dying with every pitch
19:01
Speaker 6: on Twitter, you need to do it. It's actually very
19:06
Speaker 6: comical as it turns out.
19:08
Speaker 5: He's a comedian.
19:09
Speaker 6: He is one of us, so he'll join us today
19:12
Speaker 6: at nine thirty.
19:14
Speaker 5: Brian Woo says he's ready.
19:15
Speaker 6: The only thing that he has left to cross off
19:18
Speaker 6: the list in terms of getting to pitch in a
19:21
Speaker 6: playoff game is being told it's time to pitch in
19:23
Speaker 6: a playoff game. So he believes physically he's one hundred
19:26
Speaker 6: percent and he is ready to go and ready to
19:29
Speaker 6: potentially dominate. We'll see how the Mariners intend to use
19:32
Speaker 6: him as this series unfolds. As we mentioned, the Dodgers
19:36
Speaker 6: are up two to zero in the National League Championship Series.
19:38
Speaker 6: They defeated Milwaukee last night by a final score of
19:41
Speaker 6: five to one.
19:43
Speaker 5: It's hump Day and.
19:45
Speaker 6: Usually this is when we really dive into the seahawks
19:49
Speaker 6: next opponent that will be the Houston Texans. But we
19:52
Speaker 6: do have an extra day because this is Monday Night
19:55
Speaker 6: football week for the Seahawks, and so hump Day gets
19:59
Speaker 6: a little clouded when it comes to the Hawks on
20:02
Speaker 6: a Monday night football week. Greg Bell will join us
20:04
Speaker 6: today at seven five though, to give us the latest information,
20:08
Speaker 6: it's Thursday night football even the National Football League Tomorrow
20:12
Speaker 6: the Steelers will be at Cincinnati. That's pretty much the
20:15
Speaker 6: Bengals last gasp effort to try to get back into
20:18
Speaker 6: this playoff race, as they'll take on the Steelers at home.
20:22
Speaker 6: Joe Flacco against Aaron Rodgers, two forty plus year old
20:25
Speaker 6: quarterbacks going head to head on Thursday night. Football College
20:29
Speaker 6: football Huskies have a huge game against the Michigan Wolverines
20:33
Speaker 6: at the Big House this Saturday. Cam Cleveland will join
20:37
Speaker 6: us today at eight o'clock to discuss it. And the
20:40
Speaker 6: Montreal Canadians did defeat the Kraken last night by a
20:43
Speaker 6: final score of five to four, but it did go
20:46
Speaker 6: into overtime, so we got a point. Allison and Ian
20:49
Speaker 6: both seem to be really happy with that point. When
20:51
Speaker 6: you think about it. Yeah, you go on the road
20:54
Speaker 6: for the very first time, it's their home opener.
20:56
Speaker 5: You put four goals on the board, and you lose.
20:59
Speaker 6: Because a guy skates right and has about three inches
21:04
Speaker 6: to get the ball the puck into the net. It
21:07
Speaker 6: hits off Joey to Cord's shoulder and it was the
21:10
Speaker 6: only three inches of the net that he wasn't protecting
21:12
Speaker 6: and it went into the goal. And that's how you
21:14
Speaker 6: lose the game. Yeah, so you get a point out
21:16
Speaker 6: of it. You got to point out of all three
21:18
Speaker 6: games thus far. And so they'll continue the road trip
21:23
Speaker 6: later on this week. But they did lose an overtime
21:26
Speaker 6: last night, five to four. All right, we are underway
21:29

Speaker 6: they didn't get a point. They took it to overtime
23:21
Speaker 6: on the road against Montreal, a talented young team, and
23:25
Speaker 6: that was their home opener for the season, so a
23:28
Speaker 6: lot of things stacked against them. Sounded like everybody was
23:31
Speaker 6: all right with a point, so we will take it.
23:33
Speaker 6: They have scored, obviously a point in every single game
23:36
Speaker 6: this year, with two wins and now a loss in overtime.
23:41

Speaker 6: the Toronto Blue Jay's first pitch is at five o'clock.
24:02
Speaker 6: With a win, the Mariners can go up three to
24:04
Speaker 6: zero in the series. That would be wonderful. Brian wu
24:08
Speaker 6: says he's ready to go. He is one hundred percent
24:11
Speaker 6: ready to pitch. It's just a matter of Dan Wilson
24:13
Speaker 6: giving him the opportunity, giving him the baseball. So we'll
24:17
Speaker 6: see if we'll see him at some point during this series.
24:20
Speaker 6: The National League Championship Series is also two to zero,
24:23
Speaker 6: with the Dodgers also winning both their games on the
24:26
Speaker 6: road against the Milwaukee Brewers.
24:28
Speaker 5: Last night, it was Yamamoto.
24:30

Speaker 6: on Saturday. We'll talk to Cam Cleland about it at
24:53
Speaker 6: eight o'clock. And of course it is hump day here,
24:56
Speaker 6: so we start pealing our attention toward the Houston Texans,
25:01
Speaker 6: the next opponent for the Seahawks, and they won't play
25:04
Speaker 6: them until Monday night, and I know we will be
25:06
Speaker 6: covering it.
25:07
Speaker 5: Greg Bell.
25:07
Speaker 6: Greg got all fancy on us with Delacado. Yeah, what
25:12
Speaker 6: do you like? You like a nice cab? Are you
25:14
Speaker 6: more of a white wine kind of guy? What do
25:16
Speaker 6: you like at the Delacado family wine?
25:19
Speaker 10: No red for sure? When I heard that yesterday, I thought,
25:22
Speaker 10: we'll wait a minute. I think there needs to be
25:25
Speaker 10: some sampling in order here or something I would I
25:28
Speaker 10: would think you would be sponsored by well well, I mean,
25:32
Speaker 10: why would I be sponsored by something I know nothing about?
25:35
Speaker 11: Yeah?
25:35
Speaker 2: I think we should test it.
25:37
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think we should all go to NAPA together.
25:40
Speaker 2: Yeah we should. Yeah, broadcast from there?
25:44
Speaker 4: Yeah?
25:45
Speaker 10: Oh, even better? What's going on here? We just got
25:51
Speaker 10: to be someone at that station who can make that happen.
25:54
Speaker 10: I know what department that is.
25:56
Speaker 5: We'll put some heat on them, don't you, Greg, But
26:00
Speaker 5: you have that. Yeah.
26:01
Speaker 6: In the meantime, we'll we'll just think about how delicious tacato.
26:05
Speaker 10: So I got to hear about it every day. Yeah, great, okay,
26:11
Speaker 10: come on, exert yourself please. I appreciate that.
26:15
Speaker 5: All right.
26:16
Speaker 6: Well, what kind of fine wine performance do you think
26:19
Speaker 6: we're going to get out of George Kirby tonight before
26:21
Speaker 6: we talked some Seahawks football.
26:25
Speaker 10: Well, I mean he did, okay, he was a footnote
26:28
Speaker 10: in Game five because of how crazy it ended in
26:31
Speaker 10: fifteen innings and it was like he pitched three days
26:33
Speaker 10: earlier that night. But people forget that he won run
26:37
Speaker 10: in five innings, and I think under normal circumstances he
26:40
Speaker 10: would have continued pitching. And he's I wrote this in
26:43
Speaker 10: a distribute story or just say, he's the only guy
26:47
Speaker 10: on the whole staff who's been on regular turns and
26:50
Speaker 10: not coming out of bullpens, and so it's business as
26:54
Speaker 10: usual for him. He talked about that in Toronto before
26:57
Speaker 10: Game two, about how he's rested and normal routine and
27:01
Speaker 10: he's doing bullpens and stretching and ninety throws and he's
27:05
Speaker 10: doing regular season scheduled work. Well, no one else's staff is.
27:10
Speaker 10: Everyone else is. He's on short rest. They're coming out
27:12
Speaker 10: of the bullpen, and now Castillo is going to be
27:14
Speaker 10: on long rest and they haven't had wo at all.
27:17
Speaker 10: But it's been normal schedule for George Kirby. You would
27:20
Speaker 10: think for something.
27:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, opportunity to kind of reset the whole thing.
27:26
Speaker 6: And you still went up too. Oh it's it's pretty amazing.
27:30
Speaker 10: So about your ace having pitched yet in the postseason, yeah, yeah,
27:34
Speaker 10: not bad, not bad, kind of encouraging.
27:37
Speaker 6: Also, I I will mention this before we talk Seahawks
27:40
Speaker 6: football here. You went out of your way to write
27:43
Speaker 6: a nice story about Mitch Garver, and I think that
27:46
Speaker 6: that was.
27:47
Speaker 10: What this show would notice that. Oh boy, well, I thought,
27:52
Speaker 10: I thought, when am I going to get the opportunity
27:54
Speaker 10: to write about Mitch Garver? Well, and well, my point
28:02
Speaker 10: of the story was it has nothing to do on
28:04
Speaker 10: with on the field. For those that don't know what
28:06
Speaker 10: we're talking about, or that we'll never read a story
28:09
Speaker 10: about Mitch Carver. He was two years ago on the
28:13
Speaker 10: Texas Rangers when they went up two to zero in
28:15
Speaker 10: the ALCS after winning two road games at Houston, and
28:18
Speaker 10: then they went back to Texas and got three swept
28:21
Speaker 10: three straight games out out of Arlington by the Astros,
28:26
Speaker 10: so he's been here exactly here, and he said he
28:29
Speaker 10: was going to talk to the team about that and
28:31
Speaker 10: going to talk to them about trying to win every
28:34
Speaker 10: inning and then be the goal to try to score
28:36
Speaker 10: every inning. He implied that Texas just cruised into Game
28:39
Speaker 10: three thinking the series is over, and then they had
28:42
Speaker 10: to scramble and rally and they won game six and
28:44
Speaker 10: seven at Houston. That was a really odd series. Texas
28:47
Speaker 10: won all four games in Houston, and Houston won all
28:49
Speaker 10: three games in Arlington. Of course, the Rangers and Carver
28:52
Speaker 10: went on to win the World Series in twenty twenty three,
28:54
Speaker 10: but he said, yep, I'm definitely talking to the guys
28:57
Speaker 10: about that experience and how to keep the peddle down
29:00
Speaker 10: and to try to win every inning. He said, score
29:02
Speaker 10: in every inning was the mentality he's going to try
29:05
Speaker 10: to preach to them.
29:06
Speaker 5: Mhmm.
29:06
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I think that's a pretty good mentality to have.
29:09
Speaker 6: I don't think they're gonna have to worry about it.
29:11
Speaker 6: I don't think they're gonna overlook. I don't think they're
29:12
Speaker 6: gonna take anything lightly. I don't think they got their
29:15
Speaker 6: feet up on the desk. I think they are in
29:18
Speaker 6: a really good place for this game tonight, So we
29:21
Speaker 6: shall see, all right. Greg Bell is our Seahawks insider,
29:24
Speaker 6: but he has been covering the Mariners in the playoffs
29:27
Speaker 6: as well for Thenewstribune dot Com, So it gives us
29:29
Speaker 6: a chance to.
29:30
Speaker 5: Double dip a little bit here with Greg. But let's
29:33
Speaker 5: talk Seahawks.
29:33
Speaker 6: It's a hump day, and I know it's a Monday
29:35
Speaker 6: night football game, but this is the day where we
29:37
Speaker 6: start looking forward to the next opponent. Been a weird
29:40
Speaker 6: year for the Houston Texans, been a weird couple of years.
29:43
Speaker 6: Two years ago, they were expected they they kind of
29:46
Speaker 6: came out of nowhere and people put the tag of
29:50
Speaker 6: NFL darling on them. And they didn't have a bad
29:53
Speaker 6: year last year, but people looked at it as a disappointment. Well,
29:57
Speaker 6: this year has certainly been a disappointment. They're off to
29:59
Speaker 6: a really rough start this season, especially offensively. What should
30:03
Speaker 6: we know about the Texans here on the Wednesday before
30:06
Speaker 6: playing them on Monday Night football.
30:09
Speaker 10: Well, here's what Mike McDonald's telling his Seahawks. They were
30:13
Speaker 10: owing three and everybody's writing them off. As the season finished,
30:17
Speaker 10: they got beat by the Rams, the Buccaneers by a
30:20
Speaker 10: point and the Jaguars by seven. They lost to the
30:23
Speaker 10: Rams on the road by five points. They held the
30:25
Speaker 10: Rams to fourteen points fourteen to nine. They lost to
30:29
Speaker 10: Tampa Bay twenty to nineteen, and they lost to Jacksonville
30:32
Speaker 10: seventeen ten. Since then, they've helped get an NFL coach fired.
30:37
Speaker 10: They've won maybe twenty six to nothing win over Tennessee
30:40
Speaker 10: as an own three team. That was probably when the
30:42
Speaker 10: Titans starts saying, okay, we're done with Brian Callahan, whom
30:45
Speaker 10: they fired a couple of weeks later. And then they
30:48
Speaker 10: went to Baltimore and won forty four to ten. And
30:51
Speaker 10: I know Baltimore has all kinds of issues right now,
30:54
Speaker 10: but that got their attend In a former Ravens defensive coordinator,
30:58
Speaker 10: I'm guessing that Mike McDonald turned the Texans Ravens game
31:03
Speaker 10: tape on and just let it play, and that probably
31:06
Speaker 10: got the Seahawks attention. Forty four to ten on the
31:09
Speaker 10: road at Baltimore, no matter what state the Ravens are in,
31:13
Speaker 10: is probably got Mike McDonald's front and center marquee attention
31:16
Speaker 10: for this week. So they're two and three, they're coming
31:19
Speaker 10: off of bye and when I look at the numbers,
31:23
Speaker 10: I'm trying to wonder why people want to roll c J.
31:25
Speaker 10: Stroud right out of the league. He's got eight touchdowns
31:28
Speaker 10: against three interception and I haven't watched the Titans game
31:31
Speaker 10: of Texans game all season. I've been busy doing a
31:34
Speaker 10: few other things. But he's a seventy one percent passer
31:38
Speaker 10: with eight touchdowns and three interceptions, so he's doing something right.
31:43
Speaker 10: Every time I read or hear a story about CJ.
31:45
Speaker 10: Strauditz that he shouldn't be a quarterback wise in the league,
31:48
Speaker 10: Houston should cut him, bench him. The point is, the
31:53
Speaker 10: narrative is that Houston sunk, but they're not. And in
31:57
Speaker 10: the NFL at two and three, coming off a bye,
32:01
Speaker 10: you're right there now. Of course, the Colts are often
32:04
Speaker 10: rolling it in that division, and they'll have work to
32:09
Speaker 10: do obviously, but I don't think that they're in this
32:11
Speaker 10: abyss that the narrative that the perception is.
32:15
Speaker 7: No, I don't think there are either. It's definitely a
32:17
Speaker 7: team you can sleep on. I agree. What would you say, though,
32:21
Speaker 7: even having not watched any texts and stuff, just kind
32:24
Speaker 7: of looking into it, investigating it, thinking about what you
32:26
Speaker 7: got to prepare for What is it that they should
32:29
Speaker 7: worry about the most. I mean, they got to have
32:31
Speaker 7: a game plan aster. We're not going to let this happen.
32:33
Speaker 7: We're not going to let that happen. What are those things?
32:37
Speaker 10: Well, it's still a Nick Chubb. He doesn't seem to
32:39
Speaker 10: have quite the season going yet, and they're not running
32:41
Speaker 10: the ball much. Houston Stide. I think Eachubba is two
32:44
Speaker 10: hundred and forty yards two hundred and forty nine total
32:47
Speaker 10: yards on the season rushing with only two touchdowns through
32:50
Speaker 10: five games. And Stroud does have the ability, like off
32:54
Speaker 10: many quarterbacks now in the NFL, to extend players and
32:58
Speaker 10: to get outside the pocket, which has been an issue
33:01
Speaker 10: at times for the Seahawks. I would say those are
33:04
Speaker 10: the two issues there now. When I was in Jacksonville,
33:06
Speaker 10: I was talking to some guys with the Jaguars, and
33:08
Speaker 10: it was interesting to hear him talk about how well
33:12
Speaker 10: they might talk about the game on Sunday in Jacksonville.
33:15
Speaker 10: They might window dress and try to run a little bit,
33:18
Speaker 10: but I don't think they're going to really test Seattle's run.
33:21
Speaker 10: They really respect Seattle's run defense. And all of a sudden,
33:25
Speaker 10: sometimes because the Seahawks have been playing from the front
33:28
Speaker 10: the lead except the course against Tampa Bay and the shootout.
33:32
Speaker 10: Suddenly the Seahawks are second in the NFL and rush defense.
33:36
Speaker 10: So now there's this perception that teams shouldn't try to
33:39
Speaker 10: run on the Seahawks, and the Jaguars really didn't try
33:44
Speaker 10: too hard at the end. Was they had one hundred
33:47
Speaker 10: and twenty five plus yards average a top five rushing
33:52
Speaker 10: team coming into that game, and they only had about
33:54
Speaker 10: fifty nine yards. And McDonald after the game talked about
33:58
Speaker 10: how the run defense created the third and longs and
34:01
Speaker 10: I mentioned yesterday how many third and nine pluses they had,
34:05
Speaker 10: and that's how the defense got seven sacks, a season high.
34:09
Speaker 10: So if I was Houston, I would test that run
34:12
Speaker 10: defense and I would do it more than Jacksonville did,
34:16
Speaker 10: and I don't have a quarterback. It is as hot
34:19
Speaker 10: and as accurate as Baker Mayfield is. I would run
34:23
Speaker 10: a lot more of Chubb than what they've done so
34:27
Speaker 10: far this season. We'll see what they do.
34:29
Speaker 5: Greg bellis whether it's our Seahawks insider.
34:31
Speaker 6: You can follow mat gmail Seattle on Twitter also Thenewstribune
34:35
Speaker 6: dot com, where right now he's following both the Mariners
34:38
Speaker 6: and the Seahawks double duty, and he joins us nearly
34:41
Speaker 6: every day at seven oh five thanks to Della Coatta
34:44
Speaker 6: Wines family Wines. All right, let's I want to talk
34:48
Speaker 6: about JSN. We didn't get a chance yesterday. That was
34:51
Speaker 6: another big talking point on Monday morning with coach in
34:54
Speaker 6: with Hugh and look, I mean, he's just having a
34:57
Speaker 6: phenomenal year, and yet there's still this critic like, man,
35:00
Speaker 6: you just can't keep targeting him that much during the
35:04
Speaker 6: course of a game.
35:05
Speaker 5: And yet maybe you can. I don't know, because they don't.
35:10
Speaker 5: He can't.
35:11
Speaker 6: They're not stopping him on the other side of the ball.
35:14
Speaker 6: So if they can't, if they can't cover him, then
35:16
Speaker 6: why don't you go to your best wide receiver as
35:18
Speaker 6: often as you possibly can.
35:21
Speaker 10: I'm starting to believe that this sports market wants to
35:23
Speaker 10: complain about anything. They have the number one receiver in
35:27
Speaker 10: the NFL. Give him the ball. If he's that good.
35:32
Speaker 10: That's a first world problem to say you're throwing ball
35:35
Speaker 10: too much to the top receiver in the league. They
35:38
Speaker 10: thought reason he's a top receiver in the league is
35:39
Speaker 10: because they're throwing the ball. And Darnald actually has obviously
35:44
Speaker 10: a very sudden trust. It's not like they go back
35:46
Speaker 10: years and years and in a couple months here he
35:51
Speaker 10: is counting on Smith and jigmiticket open. He could have
35:53
Speaker 10: had him much bigger. Day dropped the pass in open
35:56
Speaker 10: field at one point, and there was another ball that
35:59
Speaker 10: was tipped and deflect I'm pretty share it with him
36:01
Speaker 10: on the slant that the ball get deflected into the
36:03
Speaker 10: defensive lineman's stomach who dropped it. But the point is
36:08
Speaker 10: Donald's thrown a lot more to him than even his numbers. Though. Yeah,
36:12
Speaker 10: I don't have that criticism of the Seahawks. I think
36:16
Speaker 10: they keep doing what works and if no one's able
36:18
Speaker 10: to cover Smith and Jig. But even though every defensive
36:20
Speaker 10: game plan has him in the center of it, yet
36:23
Speaker 10: he's still leading the NFL keep doing it. He's now
36:26
Speaker 10: the NFL's yardage receiver leader, past kuk Kuh who's injured
36:31
Speaker 10: right now with ancle injury for the Rams. I don't
36:34
Speaker 10: see any I don't know what that criticism should be.
36:37
Speaker 10: What it's supposed to be, This like socialist job share
36:41
Speaker 10: of receiving yards, everyone's supposed to have the same or
36:43
Speaker 10: else the offense isn't working, right. I don't see any
36:47
Speaker 10: complaints at all. And I can't believe all the things
36:50
Speaker 10: there could be the complain about the Seahawks, but that
36:51
Speaker 10: would be one of them.
36:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe it does catch up to you eventually. And yeah,
36:55
Speaker 6: I think there's some some merit to it. But if
36:59
Speaker 6: they if he's open, then throw it to though.
37:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean exactly.
37:03
Speaker 10: It's not like in the moment Donald goes, oh wait,
37:05
Speaker 10: I've thrown it six times to him already. I can't
37:07
Speaker 10: throw to him at seven. Yeah, even even though my
37:09
Speaker 10: Reid says it and the defense can't cover him and
37:11
Speaker 10: he's opened sixty yards down the field, let me throw
37:14
Speaker 10: this majestic sixty one yard touchdown pass. It's the best
37:17
Speaker 10: pass I've thrown for the Sea Ark. Oh darn, I
37:19
Speaker 10: just threwed him for the eighth time. I'm doing something wrong.
37:23
Speaker 10: And meanwhile it's twenty to six. Whatever. I just don't
37:28
Speaker 10: see it.
37:29
Speaker 6: All right, man, Well, thank you, we appreciate you, and
37:33
Speaker 6: we'll talk to you again, probably on Friday.
37:35
Speaker 5: It sounds like Friday.

39:06
Speaker 6: part of your entire summer, almost on a daily basis
39:09
Speaker 6: here in her Mariners analysis, and then all of a sudden,
39:11
Speaker 6: you reach the playoffs, the networks take over and you
39:14
Speaker 6: don't have Angie in your life, and you're like, what
39:16

39:30
Speaker 4: Chat with you.
39:32
Speaker 12: I've been chatting with you, and you know, I don't
39:34
Speaker 12: want to hate on other announcers or anything, but I
39:37
Speaker 12: was like, oh, Casyn, this this thing they call that
39:40
Speaker 12: East Coast bias, just just a little bit, you know,
39:44
Speaker 12: through the first couple of series, I just it goes
39:48
Speaker 12: to show you, you know, it's like, you know, obviously
39:51
Speaker 12: Pacific Northwest central to US and where we live and everything,
39:55
Speaker 12: but the rest of the country just thinks we're like
39:56
Speaker 12: Southeast Alaska. I mean, they really do.
40:00
Speaker 5: Has it really been going on? I mean I haven't
40:01
Speaker 5: watched any of.
40:02
Speaker 2: The coverage yeah, yeah, right.
40:05
Speaker 13: No, I yeah, I mean, has it really because I
40:08
Speaker 13: keep reading it from Marinder fans, But I don't know
40:10
Speaker 13: if that's just Mariner fans being sensitive to another team
40:14
Speaker 13: getting compliments.
40:17
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know.
40:18
Speaker 12: There's like a tone to it where I think that
40:21
Speaker 12: that the Mariners are just surprising a lot of people.
40:24
Speaker 12: But you have to believe that, Like, you know, you
40:27
Speaker 12: can imagine the ratings. They're like, wait a minute, coming
40:30
Speaker 12: out of americanly we have Alaska or Canada. Great? Great,
40:37
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, I'm sure they were rooting for
40:39
Speaker 12: the Yankees hard for another Yankees Dodgers, and then if
40:42
Speaker 12: it was like I mean, obviously the Brewers are down,
40:44
Speaker 12: but can you imagine if it was like Mariners versus Brewers,
40:47
Speaker 12: you know, pilots. Yeah, yeah, you know, there's like like
40:52
Speaker 12: it's just the rest of the nation would just check out,
40:55
Speaker 12: but it would be awesome.
40:57
Speaker 5: Well, it looks like we're headed toward Mariner's dog.
41:00
Speaker 6: We got a lot of work to do, so let's
41:02
Speaker 6: talk about how this team got here to a two
41:04
Speaker 6: to zero lead in this series. There were a lot
41:07
Speaker 6: of people and this is something that the national.
41:09
Speaker 5: Guys were discussing.
41:10
Speaker 6: They were just sure that the Arenders were going to
41:13
Speaker 6: come in flat and have a trouble in the first
41:16
Speaker 6: two games of this series.
41:18
Speaker 5: What did you.
41:19
Speaker 6: Take make make of that narrative that was started heading
41:25
Speaker 6: into this series.
41:27
Speaker 12: Well, you can understand why. I mean, that's this teen
41:30
Speaker 12: inning game. I mean, that is going to wreck a
41:33
Speaker 12: lot of teams and then all of a sudden you
41:36
Speaker 12: got to you know, win that game and then climb
41:38
Speaker 12: on an airplane and travel cross country. But of course,
41:42
Speaker 12: you know, the Mariners have been training for this offseason long.
41:45
Speaker 12: This is this is what they do. Nobody plays more
41:48
Speaker 12: eleven plus inning games than your Seattle Meritis. They're like,
41:52
Speaker 12: we got this. This is just this is a Tuesday.
41:56
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, I don't know what you guys think.
41:58
Speaker 12: This is so hard so and I also think and
42:02
Speaker 12: when we're just continuing to see it is you know,
42:06
Speaker 12: this team is just fueled by it. It's been you guys,
42:09
Speaker 12: know this the mantra all season long about what happened
42:13
Speaker 12: in the last couple of years. And I think that
42:16
Speaker 12: it's just you know, really fueling this team. And I
42:20
Speaker 12: think that fifteen inning game, you know, wasn't any sort
42:24
Speaker 12: of like depletion it was like a catapult, and I
42:27
Speaker 12: mean it's crazy. And you think about Toronto, they had
42:31
Speaker 12: a little bit of like I feel like a finish line.
42:34
Speaker 12: I mean, you go up against a juggernaut like the
42:36
Speaker 12: Yankees and they had nine home runs. Toronto had nine
42:40
Speaker 12: home runs in three games against the Yankees. They had
42:43
Speaker 12: at least nine hits in every single game of that series.
42:46
Speaker 12: And so far against Seattle they've got eight hits total
42:50
Speaker 12: and just one home run. Springer is the only guy
42:53
Speaker 12: on their team with an extra base hit at all.
42:57
Speaker 12: It's really been in p Yeah, with what the Mariners
43:02
Speaker 12: have done pitching wise to be able to keep this
43:05
Speaker 12: this Toronto offense at Bay and now they've got to
43:07
Speaker 12: come and hit it t Mobile Park.
43:08
Speaker 10: Good luck.
43:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, what does George have to do to keep
43:12
Speaker 7: that offense at Bay? Because it is there's some potency there.
43:16
Speaker 7: I mean, vlad Guerrero hasn't done anything yet, but it's
43:18
Speaker 7: I don't think that George Kirby's like, well he's in
43:20
Speaker 7: a slump.
43:21
Speaker 4: I got him. There's an O for three.
43:23
Speaker 7: So what is it that you need to see out
43:25
Speaker 7: of George to where we can hopefully get five six
43:28
Speaker 7: plus innings out of him.
43:30
Speaker 12: Well, keep Guerrero at bay, and I know that's that's
43:35
Speaker 12: easier said than done, but I think they've kind of
43:37
Speaker 12: avoided him. They've they've done sort of like the col Rawley,
43:42
Speaker 12: you know, approach with him. And I think that's a
43:45
Speaker 12: good idea. But George Kirby needs to continue to do
43:49
Speaker 12: what George Kirby does so well, and that is throw
43:53
Speaker 12: strike one. And really this season, you know, the Mariner's
43:58
Speaker 12: pitching staff in the postseason has been and really incredible
44:01
Speaker 12: at this But I think that's the secret, Sauce. I
44:03
Speaker 12: think you've got to get them on their heels. You know,
44:07
Speaker 12: this is this is a team that doesn't strike out
44:09
Speaker 12: a lot. And I know their whole you know, mindset
44:14
Speaker 12: is they would rather be you know, bo one than
44:18
Speaker 12: oh for one. So they are willing to take that
44:21
Speaker 12: first pitch strike two and not swing at a pitcher's
44:26
Speaker 12: pitch to be out of the at bat. And I
44:29
Speaker 12: think that that George Kirby and the rest of this
44:32
Speaker 12: Mariners pitching staff needs to continue to hone in on
44:35
Speaker 12: that and hit on that.
44:36
Speaker 6: And Aji Mensink is with us here talking some of
44:39
Speaker 6: my Mariners playoff baseball game three to night of the Alcs.
44:43
Speaker 6: George Kirby versus Shane Bieber first pitches at five o'clock.
44:46
Speaker 5: I mean, we got a long way to go.
44:48
Speaker 6: But if I were to name an MVP for game one,
44:50
Speaker 6: it would be Bryce Miller. If I'm naming a game
44:53
Speaker 6: MVP for both games, it's Orgey Polanco. And I tell you,
44:58
Speaker 6: if I had the you know, tab A Mariner to
45:01
Speaker 6: defuse a bomb, I'm probably gonna go with either Bryce
45:05
Speaker 6: Miller or Rage Polanco because those two guys, to me,
45:09
Speaker 6: like the pulse never rises with them.
45:12
Speaker 5: I mean, you know them better than what we do.
45:16
Speaker 6: But I don't think it's a coincidence that those two
45:19
Speaker 6: guys in particular have stepped up. I don't think any
45:23
Speaker 6: moment is too big for those two.
45:25
Speaker 12: I think the step up is huge. And I'm going
45:28
Speaker 12: to zoom in on Horge Polanco and you think about
45:33
Speaker 12: where he was, you know, at the end of last year,
45:37
Speaker 12: and it was just like, hey, it didn't work out here.
45:41
Speaker 12: I mean, it just it just kind of didn't. He
45:43
Speaker 12: was playing hurt all year. But when you look at
45:47
Speaker 12: the difference in what he was able to do during
45:50
Speaker 12: the regular season and now in the postseason, guys he
45:55
Speaker 12: has already hit more home runs in seven postseason games
46:01
Speaker 12: then he hit in his previous twelve postseason games before
46:07
Speaker 12: this year. He's got three home runs this season. He's
46:10
Speaker 12: got a two fifty eight average. Before that, he was
46:12
Speaker 12: barely hitting over two hundred in the postseason. He has
46:16
Speaker 12: really found something. I think that you know, every guy
46:20
Speaker 12: has a different guy that they sort of get something from.
46:23
Speaker 12: Whether it's Bob Nagianis, whether it's Sites, or whether it's Edgar.
46:27
Speaker 12: And every single time I'm talking to Polanco, he's like,
46:30
Speaker 12: Bobby told me this. You know, Sites told me this.
46:33
Speaker 12: So you know the big thing. You know, a few
46:35
Speaker 12: weeks ago was with Edgar and that seventy five percent
46:38
Speaker 12: effort in the swings and getting him to relax at
46:41
Speaker 12: tension out of his arms and his hands a little bit,
46:44
Speaker 12: because man, he was on time for the fastball, but
46:46
Speaker 12: he was just due to against you know, breaking balls
46:49
Speaker 12: and off speeds. That is not the case. You know,
46:52
Speaker 12: he's got a lot of adjustability right now in his
46:54
Speaker 12: swing and he's just covering everything. So and the thing
46:59
Speaker 12: just go look at his side swing, of his slow
47:02
Speaker 12: motion side swing, and that head is just so still.
47:05
Speaker 12: It never moves. Those eyes are like, I mean, saucers
47:10
Speaker 12: so big and uh, he's just seeing the baseball right
47:14
Speaker 12: now and he's squaring it up and it doesn't matter
47:17
Speaker 12: if it's right handed or left handed.
47:19
Speaker 8: Uh.
47:20
Speaker 7: It's pretty apparent that after that first game, that home
47:23
Speaker 7: run that Cal hit, that that Blue Jays realized, Okay,
47:27
Speaker 7: we really shouldn't mess with this guy. He kind of
47:29
Speaker 7: owns us. As as Chuck calls it, it's it's a Calada. Uh,
47:33
Speaker 7: he's changed the entire name of the country. I think
47:35
Speaker 7: it's he owns it so much.
47:38
Speaker 12: You know, a lot of times we get like a
47:39
Speaker 12: like a police escort. You know, it's like to get
47:42
Speaker 12: through the traffic in Toronto and get ourself on our
47:45
Speaker 12: way to the airport. I kind of feel like it's
47:48
Speaker 12: like that's them going, let's get Cal out of the country.
47:51
Speaker 12: Let's just it's specifically for Cal. Let's let's give him
47:54
Speaker 12: the police esport and get this guy the heck out
47:56
Speaker 12: of here.
47:56
Speaker 4: Quickly as possible.
47:58
Speaker 5: Yeah.
47:58
Speaker 4: No, it's it's all good.
47:59
Speaker 7: So, I mean, how important is it and how how
48:01
Speaker 7: do you see the frame of mind for Julio, Because
48:04
Speaker 7: it's one of those us they walk somebody in front
48:07
Speaker 7: of you. You get fired up, and yet you got
48:09
Speaker 7: to kind of keep it toned down to some degree
48:12
Speaker 7: so you can make him pay for it. You liking
48:13
Speaker 7: the frame of mind that he's in.
48:16
Speaker 12: Julio, Yep, Yeah, he's covering it all as well right now.
48:24
Speaker 12: And I just think that, you know, for Julio, he's
48:29
Speaker 12: made the adjustment. I mean we haven't even been talking
48:31
Speaker 12: about hard ground balls with him. You know, he made
48:34
Speaker 12: an adjustment for whatever reason about halfway through the season.
48:39
Speaker 12: Things clicked and fell into place. And then he's just
48:42
Speaker 12: been on a trajectory up and he's when he's doing
48:47
Speaker 12: what he's doing right now on time for the fastball
48:50
Speaker 12: and taking that it's a right center field, and then
48:53
Speaker 12: he's still catching all the breaking balls and the split
48:55
Speaker 12: fingers and everything else out in front. That kid is
48:59
Speaker 12: just so incredibly strong. I mean, he's touched in the
49:04
Speaker 12: baseball and and and it's going so yeah, he's in
49:08
Speaker 12: a great place right now. And then you know, the
49:10
Speaker 12: other thing you know I was talking with Edgar about
49:13
Speaker 12: with Julio is like, what do you see and he's
49:14
Speaker 12: just like confidence, Like I see him just being really
49:18
Speaker 12: confident in his swing, and it's really sort of like
49:21
Speaker 12: the chicken or the egg thing though, like what comes first?
49:23
Speaker 12: The success, you know, gives you confidence, like how do
49:26
Speaker 12: you how do you get that confidence? And he's been
49:28
Speaker 12: able to sort of, you know, trust his process throughout
49:32
Speaker 12: the season and get there, even maybe early in the
49:35
Speaker 12: year when he wasn't having the necessarily outcome goals come true.
49:40
Speaker 6: I trust that you feel good about the series. What
49:42
Speaker 6: about tonight? I mean, can they do it three and row?
49:45
Speaker 6: Can they go up three to oh tonight?
49:46
Speaker 5: Do you think?
49:48
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't think that that.
49:54
Speaker 10: Old.
49:56
Speaker 12: He does have some good numbers against some of the
49:59
Speaker 12: Mariner players. There's one guy and I feel like I
50:02
Speaker 12: say this guy's name a lot, and it's Dan was
50:06
Speaker 12: talking about it yesterday. It's like the little things at
50:09
Speaker 12: this point in the game makes such a big difference.
50:12
Speaker 12: Every single pitch matters, every single out matters. I mean,
50:15
Speaker 12: Marrier saw that, you know the last time we were
50:17
Speaker 12: playing baseball te Mobile Park, you know, as they stood
50:19
Speaker 12: on their feet for the entire four hours and fifty
50:22
Speaker 12: eight minutes. I think, but I think that you know,
50:26
Speaker 12: it's it's going to be those little things, you know,
50:31
Speaker 12: that that continue to matter. And this team has been
50:35
Speaker 12: and shown itself to be so good at doing all
50:38
Speaker 12: those little things.
50:40
Speaker 6: You know, just in our last few seconds here. I
50:43
Speaker 6: don't know if people realize this. Ty France is on
50:45
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays. He's not active because he's injured. Do
50:49
Speaker 6: you put it past Ty France if we do walk
50:52
Speaker 6: it off to be in a in the Mariners dugout
50:55
Speaker 6: with a mass mustache on and some dark glasses, like
51:03
Speaker 6: you're talking.
51:03
Speaker 12: Like game four, Like he's like, I'm not coming back
51:07
Speaker 12: to the Blue Jays for what, I'm gonna go party
51:09
Speaker 12: with my guys. That would be.
51:12
Speaker 6: Sneaking his way over, Like if we're leading in the
51:16
Speaker 6: decisive game by like six runs, somehow he Mobby Valentine's
51:20
Speaker 6: that makes it his way over into like a Mariner
51:24
Speaker 6: uniform with a mustache and some dark glasses on and
51:27
Speaker 6: just sits there by JP.
51:28
Speaker 5: And the dugout for the rest of the game.
51:30
Speaker 2: But then I have to.
51:31
Speaker 12: Believe that it's sad as he would be, he'd be
51:33
Speaker 12: there'd be a place in his heart where he would
51:35
Speaker 12: be absolutely thrilled for the Mariners and his dudes.
51:38
Speaker 8: Right, I think he'd gets found out because a ball
51:40
Speaker 8: would hit him while he's in the dugout and someone'd
51:42
Speaker 8: be like, who the ball just hit?
51:43
Speaker 1: Yeah?
51:47
Speaker 5: All right, Well we're all in a good mood. We're laughing,
51:51
Speaker 5: we're up to Oh we're laughing. Great to chat with you.
51:55
Speaker 12: The pressure shifted, there's no doubt about that. And they've
51:58
Speaker 12: got to be they got to be. They gotta be
52:00
Speaker 12: feeling it.
52:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, Well we'll talk to you again next week.
52:03
Speaker 5: Are we going to see you at the ballpark the
52:05
Speaker 5: next three days or what's the deal here?
52:07
Speaker 12: I mean probably yeah, I didn't see you guys yesterday.
52:10
Speaker 5: But you know, all right, all right, well we'll be there.
52:13
Speaker 5: We'll be there. We'll track you down one way or
52:15

Speaker 6: Mentink joining uslready here on chucking back.
52:24

52:31
Speaker 6: award winner is not even.
52:33
Speaker 5: Gonna win gold this year? Is that what we found out?
52:36
Speaker 5: We'll talk about it next.
52:37
Speaker 6: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, Game number three
52:40
Speaker 6: of the American League Championship Series, the Mariners and the
52:44
Speaker 6: Blue Jays a chance to go up three to zero
52:46
Speaker 6: and move that much closer to the first ever World
52:49
Speaker 6: Series appearance and organization history. Dustin Nickerson's going to join
52:54
Speaker 6: us a little bit later on this hour at nine
52:56
Speaker 6: point thirty to discuss it. But we got this big
52:59
Speaker 6: fatsman here talk about all the things that we want
53:02
Speaker 6: to discuss about tonight's big game. And of course the
53:06
Speaker 6: most important thing about the game tonight is so whether
53:10
Speaker 6: or not you're doing the right.
53:12
Speaker 5: Superstition to get it over the threshold. Oh that's it.
53:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, yes, okay, is just one thing, multiple things.
53:20
Speaker 7: We did get a texture saying he has been watching
53:23
Speaker 7: Brash and Muno's pitch from the deck, watching through the window.
53:27
Speaker 4: It's worked so far.
53:28
Speaker 7: Keep it a game, thumbs up, said, thanks for your
53:31
Speaker 7: thanks for your contribution.
53:33
Speaker 6: So every time that they take them mount, he goes
53:35
Speaker 6: outside on the deck rain or shine, Yeah, watches through
53:38
Speaker 6: the glass doors.
53:39
Speaker 5: Yes, and it works like a chalk Yeah.
53:41
Speaker 10: Yep.
53:41
Speaker 4: You don't mess with that.
53:44
Speaker 2: I don't think, No, you don't.
53:45
Speaker 8: And there are certain superstitions I will say that aren't
53:47
Speaker 8: a game to game. Sometimes it happens during the game
53:50
Speaker 8: you realize, Okay, this thing's working. I gotta keep this
53:53
Speaker 8: going through the game. Like when we were at Game five,
53:55
Speaker 8: for instance, I had my little rally towel. Well, I
53:58
Speaker 8: found that if I wrapped it hard enough around my
54:01
Speaker 8: hand to the point where I couldn't really feel my thumb,
54:03
Speaker 8: it was working. Then that kind of stopped working after
54:07
Speaker 8: a while, so then I had to wrap.
54:08
Speaker 2: It my thumb.
54:09
Speaker 8: I could feel my thumb a little bit, but then
54:10
Speaker 8: I had to have my thumb on my chin and
54:12
Speaker 8: the towel up on my nose.
54:14
Speaker 2: That's how we won the game. You're welcome, and.
54:18
Speaker 5: You're passing this on to your daughter.
54:20
Speaker 2: I didn't even know.
54:21
Speaker 5: I was doing it.
54:22
Speaker 2: It is a sickness.
54:23
Speaker 8: There are other things that happen from a game to
54:26
Speaker 8: game basis.
54:28
Speaker 2: Those things can't be talked about.
54:30
Speaker 8: Oh oh jeez, well, because you can't ruin it.
54:34
Speaker 5: Oh, I see.
54:35
Speaker 2: Like if I talk about what I'm doing.
54:37
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm glad you clarified that, right.
54:39
Speaker 8: Right, because right, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, it's not being dirty.
54:44
Speaker 8: It's just there's certain things that I have found that
54:47
Speaker 8: are working right now, and if I talk about them, oh,
54:50
Speaker 8: I don't want them to stop working, and then we lose,
54:52
Speaker 8: and then it's our fault.
54:53
Speaker 7: How do you know which ones of these super duperstitions
54:57
Speaker 7: that you have are okay to talk about in which
55:01
Speaker 7: ones aren't?
55:01
Speaker 8: Well, because the one like in game is fine because
55:03
Speaker 8: that was that game that only worked for that game.
55:05
Speaker 2: So I'm not it doesn't work again.
55:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
55:08
Speaker 4: Yeah.
55:09
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like the way you sit during the game.
55:11
Speaker 2: Like again.
55:11
Speaker 8: For example, go back to nineteen ninety five, Mariners are
55:15
Speaker 8: playing the Yankees. I'm sitting on the couch with my
55:18
Speaker 8: hand bent like in front of me. I didn't realize
55:21
Speaker 8: I was doing it till I went to move my
55:23
Speaker 8: hand and my wrist hurt. Well when I did that,
55:26
Speaker 8: the Yankees scored a run hand back to bent, Mariners
55:30
Speaker 8: win the game, and I sacrificed my own comfort and
55:33
Speaker 8: pain for the Mariners to win it.
55:35
Speaker 5: Maybe long term ramifications to your wrist.
55:38
Speaker 2: Is right, Thank goodness, I ended up okay.
55:41
Speaker 6: Arthritic, And if you're okay now, I am, but maybe
55:44
Speaker 6: ten years from now. The doctor's like, was there ever
55:46
Speaker 6: a time where you put a lot of torque yep
55:49
Speaker 6: over a long period.
55:50
Speaker 5: Of time on your wrist? Unnecessary or hours? Yeah?
55:54
Speaker 2: Four hours back in nineteen ninety five, Doc.
55:56
Speaker 5: Well, your wrist is never going to work the same again.
55:58
Speaker 2: It was worse, though it was worth it. The double
56:01
Speaker 2: lives on.
56:03
Speaker 6: You know, our old colleague Jim Moore keeps posting videos
56:06
Speaker 6: of like his wife won't set She just marches back
56:10
Speaker 6: and forth during the game and she thinks if she
56:12
Speaker 6: sits down, she'll ruin the mojo.
56:13
Speaker 8: Yeah, my mom won't watch the games because when she watches,
56:16
Speaker 8: she doesn't think we're doing well. I went to her
56:17
Speaker 8: house the other day, though, I will say this. I
56:19
Speaker 8: went to her house with a three nothing lead. And
56:22
Speaker 8: what happened when I got to her house and she
56:24
Speaker 8: sat down to watch it with me, they tied the
56:26
Speaker 8: game up.
56:27
Speaker 2: So she might be onto something.
56:29
Speaker 5: I want this to happen, I really do.
56:31
Speaker 6: I want to get to the Pearly Gates, and I
56:33
Speaker 6: think I'll get through barely, okay, narrowly, I'll get through
56:37
Speaker 6: the that you think that, Yeah, And I don't know
56:42
Speaker 6: if this happens, but in my mind, you get a
56:44
Speaker 6: chance to sit down with like one of the archangels,
56:47
Speaker 6: and then you get to just like ask them questions,
56:49
Speaker 6: like all the questions that you have, and then they
56:51
Speaker 6: tell you they make sure that you're prepared to handle
56:54
Speaker 6: the truth. But at that point my thoughts are all angelic,
56:59
Speaker 6: so I wouldn't get angry at anything. And one of
57:01
Speaker 6: the questions I'm going to ask is, uh, do superstitions
57:05
Speaker 6: have anything to do with the outcomes of sporting events?
57:10
Speaker 5: And I want the answer to.
57:11
Speaker 8: Be yes, Yeah, me too, because howther wise I'm going
57:14
Speaker 8: to feel like a really big idiot.
57:16
Speaker 6: I want the answer to be yes. God takes all
57:19
Speaker 6: of the superstitions into play, and then he has this,
57:24
Speaker 6: you know, like only he can do. He can take
57:26
Speaker 6: all the math of all the different weird superstitions, and
57:30
Speaker 6: whoever is the most superstitious and sticks with their superstitions
57:34
Speaker 6: the most loyally wins the game.
57:38
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's fair. I think i'd be I
57:42
Speaker 2: have probably contributed to a lot of wins.
57:44
Speaker 6: Then I want to find that that's a I want
57:48
Speaker 6: to ask that question, and then I want the answer
57:51
Speaker 6: to be, to my surprise, yes it has everything to
57:55
Speaker 6: do with it.
57:56
Speaker 7: If i'm if I'm right behind you in line and
57:59
Speaker 7: I hear that, I'm going to be very distanct.
58:01
Speaker 6: You're going to go to hell. That's it. I'm going
58:03
Speaker 6: to hell. Yeah, I don't want to be here.
58:05
Speaker 2: I will say this. First of all, we did get
58:08
Speaker 2: a text.
58:08
Speaker 8: The first rule of in game superstition club is don't
58:10
Speaker 8: talk about in game superstition clubs. You can't talk about
58:12
Speaker 8: it while it's happening, but you can talk about it
58:14
Speaker 8: when it's over. So that's why if there's one for
58:16
Speaker 8: a specific game, yeah chat it up because that one's
58:19
Speaker 8: that one's out the door. But right now, yeah, you
58:22
Speaker 8: got to keep the other, those other ones on the
58:24
Speaker 8: down low.
58:25
Speaker 6: So there are even superstitions to your superstitions. Oh yes, okay,
58:29
Speaker 6: all right, I.
58:30
Speaker 4: Mean I'll do it a little bit like when we
58:32
Speaker 4: were watching game five.
58:33
Speaker 6: Well you won't let anybody talk about like predict victories.
58:38
Speaker 6: You've got a little bit of a little more than
58:40
Speaker 6: you think.
58:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that just makes sense. Like when I hear
58:44
Speaker 7: the Ian Parnessa's promo.
58:46
Speaker 5: Saying he's in the team.
58:48
Speaker 4: No, I don't think he's. Jesus's just like, why would
58:50
Speaker 4: you say that we're up to there? There's no way
58:52
Speaker 4: they're coming back and winning for It's like, what do
58:54
Speaker 4: you say?
58:55
Speaker 5: I know?
58:55
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that may be either there's.
58:57
Speaker 4: No way, certainly is a way.
58:59
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, too much.
59:02
Speaker 7: I don't because you just don't. It's premature. It's just premature.
59:08
Speaker 7: I feel very good about where we're at right now.
59:10
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna sit here and say that it's over.
59:13
Speaker 7: It doesn't make any sense, I know, but it's those
59:16
Speaker 7: game to be played.
59:17
Speaker 6: That's just his take. Like, I don't think they match
59:20
Speaker 6: up with us with this thing's over.
59:22
Speaker 5: We're gonna we're gonna win.
59:24
Speaker 6: But it's it's not like it's going to like Julio's
59:27
Speaker 6: sitting there saying, hey, everybody Ian says that where it's over, relaxed.
59:32
Speaker 5: We got it.
59:32
Speaker 4: Well, of course they're not saying it, well, yeah.
59:35
Speaker 5: You're superstitious. You're a superstitious as actually is.
59:38
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I just simply the worst thing you
59:40
Speaker 7: can say that I can't say.
59:42
Speaker 4: I can't take myself.
59:44
Speaker 7: Out of the position of if I was still in
59:46
Speaker 7: the locker room, Like there's just no way I would
59:48
Speaker 7: say that.
59:49
Speaker 4: We just like there's no way they would say that.
59:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not in the locker room. He's got a
59:53
Speaker 5: red hot talk show and he's got a hot take.
59:55
Speaker 5: Yeah I will.
59:56
Speaker 8: I will say it's funny. I do sometimes try to
59:58
Speaker 8: talk myself out of it. I'm all like beginning ready
1:00:01
Speaker 8: in the morning. Okay, nothing I do today is going
1:00:03
Speaker 8: to determine whether or not the Mariners win. I'll tell
1:00:05
Speaker 8: myself this, and then I'm like, but I'm just gonna
1:00:07
Speaker 8: stick with these certain things just in case.
1:00:10
Speaker 2: But I know that it has nothing to do but
1:00:12
Speaker 2: just in case. And it might also just be in
1:00:15
Speaker 2: my house.
1:00:16
Speaker 8: Because when the Mariners played the Blue Jays in the
1:00:19
Speaker 8: what three years ago in the playoffs, we were losing miserably.
1:00:23
Speaker 8: Our friend went into the bathroom. We started winning. When
1:00:26
Speaker 8: he came out, we weren't.
1:00:28
Speaker 2: Doing as well.
1:00:28
Speaker 8: We made him watch, well, listen to the last like
1:00:32
Speaker 8: inning and a half. He had to be in the
1:00:33
Speaker 8: bathroom and we had to he had to just listen.
1:00:36
Speaker 8: So you can thank Seth for that wine. Yeah, he's
1:00:40
Speaker 8: in Malaysia right now, so I hope he's watching from
1:00:42
Speaker 8: the bathroom tonight.
1:00:43
Speaker 5: Well, they don't even have bathrooms there, I don't think,
1:00:47
Speaker 5: probably not. Yeah, yeahom, it's right.
1:00:52
Speaker 2: He's been in Malaysia this whole time now, so it's
1:00:54
Speaker 2: all right.
1:00:55
Speaker 5: Hey, Malaysians, I have to find that bathroom one in
1:01:00
Speaker 5: the seven.
1:01:04
Speaker 2: Oh see, we got this one.
1:01:06
Speaker 8: Ted myself and four buddies were in Horn Lake, Mississippi
1:01:08
Speaker 8: last weekend watching from a BWW At middle of the
1:01:12
Speaker 8: fifteenth I said, rotate seats a minute later, game over.
1:01:16
Speaker 5: Thanks Ted. Yep.
1:01:17
Speaker 6: Without your job, Ted, we would not have won. That
1:01:21
Speaker 6: says just the bottom line.
1:01:22
Speaker 8: And that's the thing is you have the whole fan base.
1:01:24
Speaker 8: It's the combined fan base. How did you all superstish together.
1:01:28
Speaker 6: In comparison to the Tigers right and their fans?
1:01:32
Speaker 2: And we clearly wanted it.
1:01:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so God.
1:01:34
Speaker 14: Was like, yes, the Mariner shall win, Polonko shall come through.
1:01:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, because look at all these idiots.
1:01:42
Speaker 14: It was even for six innings, but then in the
1:01:45
Speaker 14: fifteenth the Mariner's superstitions took the lead and Polonko I
1:01:51
Speaker 14: ordained it to come through.
1:01:54
Speaker 2: See that's the way it works. Chuck gets it.
1:01:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do now.
1:01:57
Speaker 4: I miss it now.
1:02:00
Speaker 2: And you know what, one day I'll tell you guys this.
1:02:02
Speaker 2: You're gonna really look forward to this.
1:02:03
Speaker 8: One day I will fill you in on the twenty
1:02:06
Speaker 8: twenty five superstitions.
1:02:08
Speaker 2: Okay, you gotta wait for that.
1:02:10
Speaker 5: Remind me, remind me of that. We will do it
1:02:13
Speaker 5: right after it.
1:02:15
Speaker 2: It will never go.
1:02:16
Speaker 6: Will you wear this jacket that you can't get your
1:02:18
Speaker 6: arms out of We're going to just slip that on
1:02:21
Speaker 6: real fast.
1:02:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, and put you like what kind of jacket can.
1:02:25
Speaker 4: Really cool buckles on it? You'll love it, and we're
1:02:27
Speaker 4: kind of be dazzled in the back.
1:02:28
Speaker 8: I'mired what to put me in one of those a
1:02:30
Speaker 8: long time ago as an option.
1:02:32
Speaker 5: Decorate your studio in there with all rubber.
1:02:36
Speaker 4: Cushing and soft We'll just pretend it's going to be.
1:02:39
Speaker 5: Warmer, okay, being warmer, Yeah, exactly. Just give into it,
1:02:43
Speaker 5: don't you pill while you're at it. Well, look, I
1:02:50
Speaker 5: feel really good about the team. I felt good about
1:02:53
Speaker 5: this matchup coming into the series.
1:02:55
Speaker 6: I realized that mostly national people, but a lot of
1:02:59
Speaker 6: local people as well, are surprised at this two and
1:03:01
Speaker 6: oh start.
1:03:02
Speaker 5: I'm not so much.
1:03:03
Speaker 6: I also don't think it's over, and we've got a
1:03:05
Speaker 6: lot of work left to do. But I like the matchup,
1:03:09
Speaker 6: and I and I you know, obviously love being up
1:03:13
Speaker 6: to Oh. I just think we're the better team. I
1:03:16
Speaker 6: really do, and so to me, that's what carries the day.
1:03:20
Speaker 6: Now we get to add to this, because there was
1:03:24
Speaker 6: no denying that we were certainly in a different situation
1:03:28
Speaker 6: than what Toronto was because we went to five full games.
1:03:32
Speaker 6: I mean, we both had first round byes, but they
1:03:34
Speaker 6: had the tidy opportunity to start their best pitcher in
1:03:37
Speaker 6: game number one, their hottest pitcher and game number two
1:03:40
Speaker 6: and really go with what is their ideal rotation. It's
1:03:43
Speaker 6: been anything but ideal for us to this stage. So
1:03:47
Speaker 6: going to and oh on the road when you're still
1:03:51
Speaker 6: trying to like patchwork things together until you can get
1:03:55
Speaker 6: back to where the Blue Jays were at the start
1:03:57
Speaker 6: of the season, and now we're here. Now, we don't
1:04:01
Speaker 6: have that as an excuse to use. For sure, it's
1:04:04
Speaker 6: not going to be a narrative anymore. Kirby's going to
1:04:07
Speaker 6: be pitching on full rest today, Castillo is going to
1:04:09
Speaker 6: be on full rest and then some tomorrow, and Brian
1:04:13
Speaker 6: wu is coming back. So yeah, I'm not gonna sit
1:04:16
Speaker 6: here and do any he and forness, reckless guarantee victory
1:04:20
Speaker 6: kind of things.
1:04:21
Speaker 5: But I'm feeling really damn good about where we are
1:04:24
Speaker 5: right now.
1:04:24
Speaker 6: But then again, I felt good about where we were
1:04:27
Speaker 6: before the series even started.
1:04:28
Speaker 7: Mm hmm, yeah, well, I mean I felt good. I
1:04:32
Speaker 7: still feel good. I feel slightly better than I did
1:04:36
Speaker 7: before they won the first two games.
1:04:38
Speaker 4: But it none of the stuff.
1:04:40
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess when I think about matchups, I
1:04:43
Speaker 7: just think about this.
1:04:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks good where we're at.
1:04:47
Speaker 7: Like, if you just tell me right now, just on paper,
1:04:49
Speaker 7: George Kirby or Shane Bieber, which one would you like
1:04:51
Speaker 7: starting for your team? Well, I'll take George Kirby. George
1:04:54
Speaker 7: still has to go out pitch him. George still has
1:04:56
Speaker 7: to go out pitch that lineup and our lineup ha
1:05:00
Speaker 7: to make it to where Shane Bieber doesn't out pitch
1:05:02
Speaker 7: us pitch our side. To me, it's all of the
1:05:06
Speaker 7: Once you get down to the final four teams, they're
1:05:09
Speaker 7: all capable of winning a World Series. They all have
1:05:12
Speaker 7: enough talent offensively and pitching that if they show up
1:05:15
Speaker 7: and they do what they're capable of doing, they can
1:05:17
Speaker 7: win on any given night. And if you can do
1:05:19
Speaker 7: that four out of seven times twice, boom, next thing,
1:05:22
Speaker 7: you know you're the champ. So to me, it's just
1:05:24
Speaker 7: go play. I feel good. I feel slightly better. I mean,
1:05:27
Speaker 7: but it's one of those I don't get a whole
1:05:29
Speaker 7: heck of a lot out of one individual win. Now
1:05:32
Speaker 7: you get two, and it doubles obviously, but it still
1:05:35
Speaker 7: is one of those We're only halfway to where we
1:05:37
Speaker 7: need to get, and you can end up losing one
1:05:39
Speaker 7: and I will feel less. I will take away some
1:05:43
Speaker 7: of my confidence just one loss. Right where you can
1:05:46
Speaker 7: just go out there today, kick a ball when you
1:05:48
Speaker 7: shouldn't have, or or not play situational baseball when you
1:05:51
Speaker 7: need to, or they do a really good job of something.
1:05:53
Speaker 7: Maybe it's George Kirby throws really good pitches and vlad
1:05:56
Speaker 7: goes I can hit that one up there, I can
1:05:58
Speaker 7: hit this one off the bounce or whatever it is.
1:06:00
Speaker 7: It just as that's the beauty of the game, is
1:06:03
Speaker 7: how temperamental it is, how how many little things can
1:06:08
Speaker 7: change the course of momentum and shifts this way and
1:06:11
Speaker 7: that way over the course of a game.
1:06:12
Speaker 4: And I love it.
1:06:13
Speaker 7: And at the same time that's the part that makes
1:06:15
Speaker 7: me nervous sitting and watching.
1:06:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely feel good.
1:06:18
Speaker 8: And I think Ian did put out something I think
1:06:20
Speaker 8: on X yesterday that was like I feel eerily calm
1:06:23
Speaker 8: or some yeah, And I think that's how I felt
1:06:27
Speaker 8: yesterday because there was no game yesterday. But on every
1:06:30
Speaker 8: game day, I'm like I wake up and I'm like anxious,
1:06:32
Speaker 8: but not in a fearful way, just in an exciting,
1:06:37
Speaker 8: excited way.
1:06:38
Speaker 2: So I'm feeling very.
1:06:39
Speaker 8: Good about where we're at right now, But you're still
1:06:41
Speaker 8: going to I'm still doing Oh.
1:06:43
Speaker 2: I'm not screwing it. I'm not going to screw this
1:06:44
Speaker 2: team over.
1:06:45
Speaker 5: Because it all comes down to that exactly right.
1:06:48
Speaker 2: Well, and also how they play on the field.
1:06:50
Speaker 6: Right right, right, but mostly kind matters. I don't think.
1:06:54
Speaker 6: I don't I don't want. I'm not going to go
1:06:57
Speaker 6: as far as ian and like I booked or flight
1:06:59
Speaker 6: the l Hey, but I feel really good. Yeah, and
1:07:03
Speaker 6: I and I felt good before the series starts, so
1:07:05
Speaker 6: I clearly feel better now. And I just don't want
1:07:09
Speaker 6: to provide the analysis of well, whoever.
1:07:11
Speaker 5: Scores the most runs is gonna win.
1:07:14
Speaker 6: I think we should score the most runs in this
1:07:17
Speaker 6: series and tonight, and I think that we will get
1:07:21
Speaker 6: this thing done.
1:07:22
Speaker 5: But yeah, you do have to go execute, and you
1:07:25
Speaker 5: do have to you do.
1:07:26
Speaker 6: Have to play ball. And I guarantee you none of
1:07:28
Speaker 6: them are taking it for granted. They're none of them
1:07:30
Speaker 6: feeling that way. I think they're just as focused now
1:07:33
Speaker 6: as they've been at any point during the course of
1:07:35
Speaker 6: the season. To win tonight's game and to move to
1:07:37
Speaker 6: three and zero. I think they're in a really good
1:07:39
Speaker 6: head space. I feel like they've been that way for
1:07:42
Speaker 6: a long long time.
1:07:43
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they have. They're all rolling in the same direction.
1:07:46
Speaker 7: That's one thing that you can't always say about a team,
1:07:48
Speaker 7: even when it gets to the playoffs. And then I
1:07:51
Speaker 7: think that they are carrying the gravity, which isn't it's
1:07:55
Speaker 7: getting lighter the further they go, the more they advance.
1:07:58
Speaker 7: You know, you win the division, that gives you an
1:08:01
Speaker 7: extra weight off your shoulders. You get past that first round.
1:08:04
Speaker 7: Now all of a sudden, you're like, hey, we're up
1:08:06
Speaker 7: to zip in this bad boy. Let's just go ball.
1:08:08
Speaker 7: Let's go have some fun out there and see what's up.
1:08:11
Speaker 7: I think that this team is carrying the history, but
1:08:14
Speaker 7: not as a weight. They're carrying it almost as like
1:08:17
Speaker 7: a badge of honor. Like that's right, We're going to
1:08:19
Speaker 7: be the team that breaks the never getting there type
1:08:21
Speaker 7: of a thing.
1:08:22
Speaker 4: And yet they just got to go out and prove it.
1:08:24
Speaker 6: I bet you Dustin Nickerson has all sorts of superstitions.
1:08:27
Speaker 5: Doesn't he seem like the top?
1:08:28
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.
1:08:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, our friend Dustin Nickerson Seattle comedian, big up and
1:08:33
Speaker 6: comer on the national scene. I hear he's been living
1:08:37
Speaker 6: and dying with every single pitch during these playoffs, and
1:08:40
Speaker 6: he's been a routine guest of ours throughout.
1:08:43
Speaker 5: This second half of the season.
1:08:45
Speaker 6: So we're excited to check in with him next Sports
1:08:47
Speaker 6: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. He's also a funny,
1:08:51
Speaker 6: stand up comedian type, and like you, he's been living
1:08:55
Speaker 6: and dying with every pitch of the American League playoffs.
1:08:58
Speaker 6: With your Seattle Mariners. Joining us again is Dustin Nickerson.
1:09:02
Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, how are you feeling.
1:09:05
Speaker 10: Good? I would I would certainly call Ashley a friend.
1:09:09
Speaker 2: Oh group, you know success, that's cool.
1:09:12
Speaker 4: So Buck and I will be stranded well.
1:09:15
Speaker 1: I mean, she's the only one who will talk to
1:09:17
Speaker 1: me when we're not on air.
1:09:18
Speaker 10: I get texts from her.
1:09:20
Speaker 1: She responds to me on Twitter.
1:09:22
Speaker 11: You know it's uh, you know you guys.
1:09:26
Speaker 10: I would call.
1:09:28
Speaker 11: Some of my preferred social acquaintances.
1:09:32
Speaker 10: I think we've reached that level.
1:09:33
Speaker 7: I've replied to you on Twitter. I think Chuck has
1:09:36
Speaker 7: as well.
1:09:37
Speaker 5: I could pick that up. I can pick you know,
1:09:39
Speaker 5: just you're just a big celebrity type.
1:09:40
Speaker 6: It's like the time you met Clooney, you know, and
1:09:43
Speaker 6: he didn't know if are we friends or not?
1:09:45
Speaker 5: You know that sort of thing.
1:09:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough to answer.
1:09:51
Speaker 11: To answer your question, I'm feeling I'm feeling.
1:09:56
Speaker 1: Good, bad, miserable. I don't know all of the above
1:10:01
Speaker 1: all the time. Does that make sense?
1:10:03
Speaker 4: You're up too?
1:10:03
Speaker 12: Oh?
1:10:04
Speaker 5: Not really?
1:10:05
Speaker 11: No, No, I mean I feel I listen, I've been
1:10:12
Speaker 11: playing a game in my head called.
1:10:16
Speaker 10: Uh.
1:10:16
Speaker 11: If I were objective, this has been a very helpful
1:10:21
Speaker 11: exercise for me. Like if I were objective about the
1:10:23
Speaker 11: Seattle Mariners in Seattle sports in general, I'd be like,
1:10:27
Speaker 11: this team is about to break every curse that Seattle
1:10:31
Speaker 11: sports has ever ever had, all of them in one season,
1:10:36
Speaker 11: the fifteen inning game up to on the road or
1:10:40
Speaker 11: the vibes are immaculate. Our mascots are winning races they've
1:10:44
Speaker 11: never won before. You know, Geno and a Rose Raina
1:10:50
Speaker 11: still haven't even done anything really of a huge significance,
1:10:55
Speaker 11: and they're still winning games. If I were objective in
1:10:58
Speaker 11: my lasting images of being a Seattle sports fan, when
1:11:02
Speaker 11: I close my eyes, aren't Joey Kor crying and kembe
1:11:06
Speaker 11: Mtumble laughing. If those weren't the things I saw when
1:11:09
Speaker 11: I closed my eyes as Seattle sports fan. Then I'd
1:11:11
Speaker 11: be like, yeah, yeah, this team is this team's doing great.
1:11:15
Speaker 11: So I'm all of the above all the time. But yeah,
1:11:18
Speaker 11: I mean feeling as good as I can right now.
1:11:20
Speaker 11: Consider I have forty years of trauma, that's good.
1:11:24
Speaker 7: So it's just being therapeutic because there are moments that
1:11:27
Speaker 7: you allow yourself to feel like more good, Like you
1:11:30
Speaker 7: don't feel like, no, too dangerous, it's gonna hurt too
1:11:33
Speaker 7: much if I let myself go there.
1:11:37
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, Chuck, you said it best.
1:11:40
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm living and dying.
1:11:43
Speaker 1: On every pitch.
1:11:43
Speaker 11: So every great moment I'm celebrating as a high of
1:11:48
Speaker 11: level as you can. But I just you know, baseball
1:11:52
Speaker 11: was not Baseball was not meant to watch every pitch.
1:11:58
Speaker 11: It is not a sport that you can sustain where
1:12:01
Speaker 11: you watch every pit It's it's it's meant to be
1:12:04
Speaker 11: watched passively. You know, you can't be I can't sustain this.
1:12:08
Speaker 11: You can't be sweating a walk in the first inning.
1:12:11
Speaker 11: You just can't do that for three hours. You can't
1:12:15
Speaker 11: see like a low and outside ball to call and
1:12:18
Speaker 11: be like this ref needs to get or needs to
1:12:20
Speaker 11: get fired.
1:12:20
Speaker 1: This is like you just can't it, you know.
1:12:25
Speaker 11: So I the answer is to there are moments that
1:12:30
Speaker 11: I feel as good as I've ever felt as.
1:12:32
Speaker 1: A Mariners fan.
1:12:33
Speaker 11: Uh and and and just at any given point based
1:12:36
Speaker 11: on the next result, not even the next hit or inning,
1:12:39
Speaker 11: the next pitch. It's the lowest low I've ever felt
1:12:42
Speaker 11: as a Mariners fan as well.
1:12:43
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I'm living and dying and.
1:12:45
Speaker 5: All of it.
1:12:46
Speaker 6: Baby, Dustin Nickerson with us here on Chuck and Buck
1:12:49
Speaker 6: in the morning, Seattle comedian, and he's been become a
1:12:54
Speaker 6: friend of the show. We can at least go that far,
1:12:56
Speaker 6: all right, So take me through the Friday Night because
1:12:59
Speaker 6: I'm I don't fan the way you and Ashley fan,
1:13:02
Speaker 6: and yet through fifteen innings.
1:13:05
Speaker 5: Of that, I was exhausted at the end of the night.
1:13:09
Speaker 6: So based on the description you just gave of what
1:13:13
Speaker 6: kind of fan you are, plus you were on stage
1:13:15
Speaker 6: that night and couldn't even get updates except periodically, what
1:13:21
Speaker 6: was Friday Night like for Dustin Nickerson?
1:13:24
Speaker 11: Friday was a Friday was a gift because I got
1:13:28
Speaker 11: to be on stage, truly, like you.
1:13:32
Speaker 1: Know, ends up my you know, the fans.
1:13:35
Speaker 11: That I have in San Francisco do not care about
1:13:39
Speaker 11: the Mariners game stunning.
1:13:41
Speaker 1: I know, I U when I they're not.
1:13:44
Speaker 11: They're not checking their phones for updates, and so neither
1:13:48
Speaker 11: should I. I need to be a consummate professional up there.
1:13:51
Speaker 11: But we got on I got on stage. Reebus had
1:13:55
Speaker 11: just tied the game, and so it was like the eighth, seventh, eighth.
1:14:00
Speaker 1: And I figured it.
1:14:01
Speaker 11: I knew just based on show times that it was
1:14:04
Speaker 11: most likely going to end while I was on stage.
1:14:07
Speaker 11: So I said, nobody tell me now, but someone tell
1:14:09
Speaker 11: me the result when I walk into the green room.
1:14:12
Speaker 11: And so I walk into the green room night after
1:14:13
Speaker 11: the show before we go doing the meet and greet,
1:14:15
Speaker 11: and the door guy tells me it's tide. I'm like,
1:14:20
Speaker 11: it's tied, And then I'm thinking, well, this is great.
1:14:23
Speaker 11: I can watch the end of this between shows. Surely
1:14:26
Speaker 11: there's no way this will still be going when I
1:14:29
Speaker 11: have to get on stage for the nine to thirty show.
1:14:33
Speaker 1: And sure enough, somehow, on.
1:14:36
Speaker 11: What I think it's the bottom of the or the
1:14:38
Speaker 11: top of the thirteenth, I'm going on stage again. And frankly,
1:14:41
Speaker 11: I think my heart was like my actual beating heart
1:14:46
Speaker 11: was thankful for the breaks because performing for two hundred
1:14:50
Speaker 11: rowdy drunks in downtown San Francisco as I make fun
1:14:54
Speaker 11: of the forty nine ers, was.
1:14:56
Speaker 1: Less stressful than watching that game.
1:14:58
Speaker 11: Give me rowdy drunks all day long over watching yet
1:15:04
Speaker 11: another double play.
1:15:06
Speaker 1: Get knocked into in the bottom of the extra. How

Speaker 11: show me how to to keep my weight back.
1:16:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.

Speaker 7: Well, I was just going to think more so on
1:16:54
Speaker 7: like just go ahead and wrap your thumb around the bat.
1:16:56
Speaker 7: You were holding that thumb going up the bat. I'm like,
1:16:59
Speaker 7: all right, that's maybe that's why you're on JV.
1:17:03
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, you know, how was your tonight show appearance, Bucky,
1:17:07
Speaker 11: it was not near as good as yours.
1:17:09
Speaker 4: Not very good at all.
1:17:11
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I've found my way anyway. Second show
1:17:15

Speaker 11: We both found our way. Uh.
1:17:30
Speaker 5: Do you have superstitions?
1:17:31
Speaker 6: We talked about this in the last segment, and I
1:17:33
Speaker 6: have determined that I want to get to the Pearly
1:17:35
Speaker 6: Gate someday and ask God just what does determine the
1:17:40
Speaker 6: outcome of sporting events? And I want him to tell me.
1:17:43
Speaker 6: I weigh all the superstitions that fans show during the game,
1:17:48
Speaker 6: and whoever has the most I get that.
1:17:51
Speaker 5: I let that team win. So That's where I'm at
1:17:53
Speaker 5: with it.
1:17:54
Speaker 6: Do you have any superstitions when you watch games?
1:17:59
Speaker 1: I yes and no.
1:18:02
Speaker 11: I don't know if I would call them full superstitions,
1:18:04

Speaker 8: you can't ruin it.
1:18:17
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:18:18
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean everybody kind of in my household knows
1:18:21
Speaker 11: that there are just certain things that you do when
1:18:24
Speaker 11: you don't do during certain parts of the game and
1:18:27
Speaker 11: when certain you know, when your team's batting versus the
1:18:30
Speaker 11: other team's batting. You know, I will say one thing
1:18:33
Speaker 11: that I predict for I've brought. I've I've picked up
1:18:36
Speaker 11: from my dad, who was also a very stressful sports watcher,
1:18:42
Speaker 11: is I'm very I'm very productive. Actually, I like, I'll
1:18:49
Speaker 11: clean the house during games.
1:18:52
Speaker 1: I will get a lot of work done.
1:18:54
Speaker 11: I will send like I just it's I'm I'm moving
1:18:59
Speaker 11: quite a bit, especially in the in the early parts
1:19:02
Speaker 11: of the game, once you get to kind of like
1:19:04
Speaker 11: the sixth and before. But I mean I'm watching and
1:19:07
Speaker 11: or listening the entire time. But you know, when you
1:19:10
Speaker 11: can carry the game around of your phone, I'm like, well,
1:19:12
Speaker 11: I might.
1:19:12
Speaker 12: As well do the dishes while I'm doing this.
1:19:14
Speaker 5: You know, my wife's like, Wow, the house.
1:19:16
Speaker 1: Has never looked better.
1:19:17
Speaker 11: I who knew I needed the Mariners to be going
1:19:20
Speaker 11: to the playoffs? These these less you know, twenty years
1:19:23
Speaker 11: of marriage for you to you know, tidy up a
1:19:26
Speaker 11: bit around here.
1:19:28
Speaker 6: I know when you're on the Tonight show, I just
1:19:29
Speaker 6: kept my right leg crossed over my left leg just
1:19:32
Speaker 6: to make sure that you wouldn't.
1:19:33
Speaker 11: Be Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, you know, in
1:19:37
Speaker 11: my better moments of not being a nervous wreck, I
1:19:41
Speaker 11: look at the I look when they show the dugout.
1:19:43
Speaker 11: I'm like, these guys look pretty relaxed. This team really
1:19:48
Speaker 11: seems to believe in itself. Maybe I should believe in
1:19:50
Speaker 11: them a little more, you know, But that's not my
1:19:54
Speaker 11: nature of relationship as a fan, and that's okay.
1:19:57
Speaker 1: I'd have it no other way.
1:19:58
Speaker 5: All right, Well, why are you tonight to watch?
1:20:00
Speaker 6: I know you're going to be in Seattle on the
1:20:02
Speaker 6: twenty fifth two shows, right, yeah, yeah, I.
1:20:07
Speaker 1: Know, which is tragic. It's such a bit.
1:20:10
Speaker 11: It's you know, when it's a little I don't know
1:20:15
Speaker 11: how I feel about it entirely.
1:20:18
Speaker 1: My brain.
1:20:19
Speaker 11: I've been a comedian for like fifteen years now, and
1:20:21
Speaker 11: I'm just not thought yet, nor have I ever had
1:20:25
Speaker 11: to Hey, I should think about my late October scheduling
1:20:30
Speaker 11: in the Northwest in regards to potential World Series appearances,
1:20:35
Speaker 11: that my brain hasn't ever had to go to that place.
1:20:38
Speaker 10: So yeah, right.
1:20:39
Speaker 11: Now, I do have two shows in.
1:20:42
Speaker 1: Seattle on a day that.
1:20:46
Speaker 11: Would be Game two of the World Series.
1:20:48
Speaker 1: Tightally unfortunate.
1:20:50
Speaker 11: Just when we booked this in December, my brain was
1:20:54
Speaker 11: nowhere near that spot. But the late show was sold
1:20:57
Speaker 11: out and we added a three thirty show. I don't
1:21:01
Speaker 11: know how any of that works. I don't know what
1:21:03
Speaker 11: time games would be, and I don't know if they
1:21:06
Speaker 11: allow transferring of tickets. It might work out that that
1:21:08
Speaker 11: three point thirty show if we have a night game,
1:21:10
Speaker 11: and it might be everyone's trying to switch to that.
1:21:13
Speaker 11: I don't know how any of that works. But this
1:21:14
Speaker 11: weekend I'll be in Kansas City, and tonight I'll be
1:21:17
Speaker 11: watching the game from home. So okay, so this one
1:21:22
Speaker 11: I get to.
1:21:23
Speaker 12: I don't know.
1:21:24
Speaker 10: I might.
1:21:24
Speaker 11: I might clean the floors today, who knows.
1:21:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, we gotta get some dusting done. I've been putting
1:21:30
Speaker 5: that off.
