  Speaker 1: the last hour. But as we get ready to close
• 0:50

  Speaker 2: That's right. And we'll all hug after.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: There you go. Tulalip Amphitheater, when all you want is everything,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: everything tulalip.com. The Seahawks get set for Wednesday's action against
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, a rematch of the Super Bowl
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that the Seahawks dominated. And so we start anew. Oh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: my gosh, the newness of a season. Just wonderful.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It's washing over you. The feelings are washing over you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I love it. Love it. And, of course, we have
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: high expectations. And the New England Patriots can't help but
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have high expectations. And yet they seem to have a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: lot more question marks than... what the Seahawks have to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: get ready to start this season. But we aren't without
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: our questions. As a matter of fact, a few more
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: popped up on the injury report than I was prepared
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to read. Greg Bell joined us at 7.05 this morning,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and I asked him about Nick Emanwuri's available. That we knew,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: but now all of a sudden, Ty Okada, his situation
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is questionable, and a few others. And I asked Greg
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to tell us about the safeties.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Well, even worried, the thing is he's yet to now
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: fully practice since the surgery in July, arthroscopic surgery on
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: his ankle.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: He was a.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Limited participant yesterday. It's not hard to read the tea
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: leaves there that if he was going to play, he'd
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: be fully practicing by now. And if he's not fully practicing,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it means he's missing reps in the starting defense, in
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the game plan. Ernest Jones yesterday, we were asking him
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: about what Neiman Worre does for this defense, and he says, well,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: when he comes back, he's going to be like an alien.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He can do anything. Well, we'll get him back, but
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: for now, we'll worry about the guys who are here.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So he was pretty much saying he's not going to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: play in his first game, and it's a little bit
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: of a surprise, but it does speak to how difficult
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: this has been for him. I mean, his rookie season
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: last year could not have gone better. It was idyllic,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: and from day one Even game one, when he had
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the high ankle sprain, he came back in three weeks
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and took off to be one of the most dynamic
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: defensive players in the league, rookie or not. And now
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: this is a setback for sure. The surgery, and McDonald
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: has talked about how difficult it's been for him. It's
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: not been a straight trajectory of surgery to recovery to play.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: There have been ups and downs and delays, and now
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: this looks like another delay of a beast one game.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They're hoping perhaps they could get him back for two.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: They haven't ruled him out yet, but the signs are
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: pointing that way. Ty Okada did not practice yesterday with
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: a hamstring issue, which had to have happened in practice,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: of course, because they haven't played at all in the preseason.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And Okada was out there through the end of preseason practices,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: so it has happened in the last week or so,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: which doesn't pretend very well for him. Hamstring issues are
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: not a day or two, and you just come back.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Those tend to last a bit. And the fact that
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he didn't practice on an injury that's apparently newer suggests
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: he won't play either. So that leaves Julian Love with
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the only safety on the active roster who's healthy to play.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And not that. Crazy. Start the season and all of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a sudden, yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I don't like that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: We're down to Bud Clark. And Eamon Ward, even though
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he doesn't play true safety, plays this hybrid monster position
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that Mike McDonald created for such a special athlete. um
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: more of a linebacker than a safety still listed as
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a safety um and then maybe losing okada as well
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: so d'anthony bell is probably going to start um i
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: think that at least there's a really good chance maybe
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: not probably but possibly uh he is going to start
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: on wednesday for the secondary and so if you're thinking
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: about a question mark i mean here it is um
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you got julian neal who's way behind schedule because he
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: spent his entire training camp and preseason rehabbing. Avery Smith's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: brand new, and this is an undrafted rookie, after all,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that is brand new to the team. So I don't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: know if you can expect a lot out of him.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll see how Mike McDonald pieces all
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of this together. But I feel pretty good about every
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: single area. of the roster and of the depth chart,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: but it's impossible to feel good at this stage about
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the secondary and particularly the safeties.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And I think, obviously, I trust that Mike McDonald will
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: be able to figure something out that will be decent,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: but it is unnerving going into it, hearing how many
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: injuries we've got.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And I think we're going to be fine, but it's still... Yeah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It's concerning.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It'll be fun, but not exactly how you want to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: start the season.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Also, Anthony Bradford was on that injury list. Doesn't sound
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: too serious. I don't think that Greg had the same
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: doubt about him and his playing ability. But if he
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: does sit, that's something starting five, never played together during
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the preseason. And if he's not available, you're going to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: go another game without having played a game together or
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: any time at all together except practice. Christian Haynes is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the guy that has been backing up Bradford in practice,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: so that would be the answer. But there's a possibility
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that he might not go. He showed up on the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: injury report as well. Does sound like the running backs,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: those that we have, are good to go. All of them.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Judarian Price is healthy. He just was bubble-wrapped so that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't injure himself or re-injure anything, but he's now
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, two, three weeks, maybe removed from
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: an injury issue. Uh, George Helani is healthy to go.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson is full participant as well. So, um, I mean,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: obviously running back, the running back room is a question
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: mark for the Seahawks going into this year, but in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: terms of their health, Our questionable running back room is healthy. Yes, exactly.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: No questions there, at least.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: We might not be able to run the football, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it won't be because of injury.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll just be performance.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yes. Wrap yourself in that blanket of comfort.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, am I fascinated to see what happens, though.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That is for sure.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: But also very nervous.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see where Jadarian Price goes in
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: our KJR Fantasy Draft tonight. Me too. I mean, there
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: are a few Seahawks fans in the draft.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Just a couple. Just a couple.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So he'll probably be overdrafted, frankly, but I'm wondering how
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: high someone will take Jadarian Price. Yeah. And how low
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: someone will take Zach Charbonnet.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Zach Charbonnet. I actually got mad yesterday in my draft.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Someone took Zach Charbonnet.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I'm going to just stash him
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: over here.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: It's going to be great. And someone right before me
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: took him.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That does anger you, doesn't it? Yeah. I don't even
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: know how John Schneider and, like, legitimate general managers and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: legitimate drafts even handle that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: No, because it feels personal.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: It's like, why are you going after everyone I'm going after?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It really does. I've had a few yelling sessions in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: my life over stuff like that. Anyway, by the way,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: before I move on from Greg, next fact or fiction
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: pick is that started today, 1135 with Greg, and you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: probably already know what he's going to do.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: So if you believe in Army, take fact.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. Let's talk about the New England Patriots.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Let's start that ball rolling toward Wednesday because I got
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to believe they've got even more questions. And let's just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: start with the stability of the organization. I mean, the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: biggest scandal of the offseason, it overtook news stations. for
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: goodness sake. I hesitate to bring it up because what
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: did I say on NFL schedule day? I don't want
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the Patriots to be our opener because I don't want
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Diana Rossini to be a story on our opening day. Yep.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: And so here I am bringing it back up. So
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm playing into it and I'm guilty of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the same thing that I'm going to bring it up.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up though. Number one, just to remind
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you that that might creep into coverage, but also number two,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: there are some stories out there. There are some rumors
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: out there that there are a number of different, uh,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: journalistic sources that are saving a story a follow-up on
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: diana russini for wednesday oh so that it will be
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: talked about during the opener now i don't know how
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: much faith to put into that i mean this is
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: stuff that you see off of um the off of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: x and i don't know how reputable those sources are
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: but According to a number of different reports, there are
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: some people that are saving a Diana Rossini update where
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: they've done some research for the game. Because, you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you're going to get your story talked about and get
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: your byline out there. You're going to do it when
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: we're getting ready to start the NFL season. So we
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: might have to deal with it. It might be a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: major story if we have new information online. right on
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the doorstep of the season beginning against the New England Patriots. Yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And it's just such a bummer because it does feel
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: like it was the same with the Super Bowl, obviously
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: not in this conversation, but there were, it was like
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: the game was the least important part of it. You know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: people weren't impressed with either team and they didn't think
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: there was any flash on either team and there was
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: no star power on either team. And it was all
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: of that versus the actual skill and talent of the
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: teams that were playing, or at least one of the
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: teams that was playing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And so now you're going to go into this and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: hope like, OK, well, hopefully this is about.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: The defending Super Bowl champions in a Super Bowl rematch
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: to start off the NFL season. And it should be
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: about the job that Mike McDonald has done and the
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: camaraderie of this team, because everyone just got to see
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: it in hard knocks and all of these.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Things and the game itself. But it won't be.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It won't be if there's new, fresh information. It won't
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be if Mike Vrabel's going to be asked another series
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of uncomfortable questions. If somebody's got a new report or
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: salacious content, it's going to be a story. Mike Vrabel's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: going to have to address it, and he's not going
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to want to address it. I mean, he's been very
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: adamant about, I'm done addressing this. Well, if he gets
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a new story, if there's a new story or a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: new wrinkle— or a new scandal, part of the scandal,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: then it's going to become a big discussion. Maybe, is
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it on NBC? Maybe NBC, is that the openers on NBC?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I can't remember now. Maybe the network itself will try
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to play that down. Maybe Roger Goodell will place a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: phone call and say, you better not focus on this.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: But you know a lot of the entities... Because everybody's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: going to be doing their own countdown to kick off.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Every network. I mean, so they're going to tackle it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It's just, it could end up being the major topic
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: instead of the things that we want it to be.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And that's a bummer.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: As for the Patriots themselves, there were reports the entire
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: training camp that the ship's been rocked, that they're not
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: feeling real good about things in New England, that Maybe
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: their focus hasn't exactly been there for training camp. There
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: are people picking the Rams over the Seahawks, but I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody, except for a few fools, think that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are going to fall off to any great degree.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: There are some people, though, that think the Patriots will.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think it has everything to do with Russini, certainly.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But there are some issues. Christian Gonzalez is in a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: contract negotiation. We got our guy done. Their best cornerback
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: is talking, he's talking about getting traded, for goodness sake.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So there's that story. They've got Travion Henderson is probably
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not going to play in this game. It's not looking
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: like he hasn't practiced in two weeks. Ramondre Stevenson and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: he form sort of a co-running back situation. Now, without that,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I think Stevenson can carry the male, but maybe not
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: on opening day. And their third stringer is a relative unknown,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Corey Kiner, who would
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: be stepping in to that role. I've never even heard
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of him until I did the research for the game.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So they are, if we're thin at running back, Patriots
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: are definitely thin at running back. A.J. Brown, that's one
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: positive source. A lot of people predicting a huge season
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: from A.J. Brown. being able to team him with Drake May.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Drake May, who finished runner-up for the MVP a year ago,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and he really did it without a wide receiver one. Well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the theory is that we now have a wide receiver one.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Of course, A.J. Brown's coming off of three years of bitching.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And so I don't know if he's done with that,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: if he's ready to now be a team player again,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: but he certainly gives them the potential for a wide
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: receiver one. I've heard Adam Schefter suggest that he thinks
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that A.J. Brown's going to have the impact on the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Patriots that Terrell Owens once had on the Philadelphia Eagles,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: where they were shy a wide receiver won. Owens comes over,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: gives them something they hadn't had before. They go to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, for goodness sake. So A.J. Brown, maybe
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he does have that sort of impact, but it does
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: give them a weapon we certainly did not face in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Will Campbell? the left tackle who struggled
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: so mightily against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: in previous games as well. We found out after the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: season was over that the left tackle was just fighting
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: through injuries that he wouldn't have normally fought through, but
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: he just did it to be there for his team.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It doesn't change. I mean, he might be healthy. He's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: still going to have T-Rex arms. We know that. But
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: that could be a different left tackle than what we
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: faced in the Super Bowl. So there are stories abound
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: for opening day. And I hope that it does remain
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: on the football product and where the Patriots are months
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: after losing the Super Bowl, where the Seahawks are months
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: after winning the Super Bowl. I hope that remains the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: number one story, but there's a chance that we're going
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to dip into TMZ for the next 24 to 48 hours.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I hope it does remain on the football
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: game and the team. There's a lot of fascinating things,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: especially I think for Seahawks fans, to have our team
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: be the defending Super Bowl champs and come back and
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: get to see what changes or improvements they've made and
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: how they've filled the holes that they've that they had.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: And the biggest one being Jadarian Price. I'm real excited
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: to see how he runs, how he looks. Cause I mean, we,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: as we know, even in college, we didn't really get
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: a look too much of a look at him. So
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: it is, I mean that stuff, I just, yeah, I would,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I want it all to be focused on all that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until Jessamyn takes Judarian Price with the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: number one pick tonight.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, that would be a bold move.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you should do it, Jess. I think
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you should do it. Yep. Just, you know, outsmart the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: rest of the competition.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Know something we don't.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, I haven't done a lot
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: on this team today for some really good reasons, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: ABC's of the M's next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. recapping
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the Apple Cup, getting you ready for Wednesday's Seahawks opener.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that the Mariners aren't on our brains.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: We did Mariners morning after at 630. We do ABCs
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: of the M's every show throughout the baseball season. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: so here we go. ABCs of the M's. We're at
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the end of the alphabet and maybe at the end
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of our rope and maybe at the end of our chances,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: all of that sort of thing. It feels a little
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: symbolic to me. But we are at Y and Z
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: here today. And Y is for yellow. Because here's the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: only good thing I can say about the first two
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: games of the series against the Oakland A's. Or the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: whatever A's. I really do like the yellow in our
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: City Connect jerseys. It really pops. It is vibrant. Yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I really like that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I also like the blue in it, the royal blue
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: kind of on there. It's a good combo.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And the black pants have even kind of grown on
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: me over time.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: I would say that's a good way to put it,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: grown on me, because I don't love them, but I
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: don't know what the other option would be if you
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: didn't have black pants, unless you kept the blue going
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: all the way.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: But that seems like you might look like Smurfs.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we could have had brown shorts on, and it
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: would have outshined our play.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I think maybe some people did have brown shorts.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. At least in a certain area of the shorts.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Of the shorty pants. I mean, terrible. I mean, just terrible.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Just what this season has been, which is, I mean,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to speak on behalf of 50-year Mariner fans,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: but it's certainly the most disappointing season in my 11.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And there have been a few of them. In 11
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: years here. Such a good team on paper, and a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: lot of guys easy to root for. Most of the team,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: easy to root for. I mean, I have my issues
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: with Randy Rosarino, but I really like him, and I'm
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: glad he's on our team. But for them to have
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: played this poorly And every opportunity they had to correct it,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to course correct this season. And Thursday into Friday was
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the ideal opportunity to course correct this season. And for
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: them to lose three straight games to the team playing
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: worse in all of Major League Baseball without... They actually
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: have some good, talented players. None of them are available
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to them. They used a AAA pitching staff. They have
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: nothing to play for but fight and grit and pride.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: We have everything to play for, and you can't win
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a game in the first three games of the series.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And by Saturday, the Boo Birds were out, and for
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: very good reason. The true lack of effort showed sort
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: of a, we don't care anymore. We folded the tents
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: from a couple of guys. I'm not going to mention
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: any names. But it kind of looked to me like
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: there were a few guys that cashed in their chips
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and to have had to have a meeting, a team
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: meeting on Saturday night at this stage in the season
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to say, are we going to try to get this
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: crap together or not? It's embarrassing. Not only is it disappointing,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: it reached a level of embarrassment this weekend.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's fair.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I think if you're playing this team with Nick Kurtz
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: and Shea Langoliers and, you know, all those guys on.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: It, then you're not as disappointed at this outcome.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Obviously, losing three of four to the A's is going
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: to be disappointing either way, but at least at that point,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: you can kind of rationalize it because, especially, Shea Langoliers
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: kills us all the time. So, at that point, yeah,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: you can rationalize it, but to lose to this team,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: to lose a series three out of.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Four games, you can't even wrap your head around it. Like, why.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Why is it that we go to Boston, we manage
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: to win a series, should be coming home on a
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: positive note, ready to go win three, four, five, maybe
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: six games in a row if you sweep them, and
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: you can't? I mean, there's no rhyme or reason as
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: to why they performed so badly in those three games.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Well, they just haven't been a good team. I mean,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I can sit here until I'm blue in the face
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and tell you they should have been, but they just
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: haven't been a good team this year. They are what
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: their record says that they are. It's not because of
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: flukes or it's not because of bad luck or anything
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: like that. They've played this poorly. They have earned their lot.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: It was a little encouraging to me to hear Brian
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Wu say afterwards to the fans yesterday after his excellent
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: performance that if you think you're frustrated, we're 10 times
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: more frustrated than you are. Sort of, we're worthy of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: those boos that we got on Saturday. And then he said,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: but stick with us.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: You probably have to go 15-3 the rest of the way,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: which I think is the harder part. Because you've got
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: two teams you've got to chase down. You're still four
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: games back in the Texas Rangers. I think they're at
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: least going to play around 500, which means you have
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to be nearly perfect the rest of the way. So, yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, Ashley's not going to give up. I'm not
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: saying it's mathematically impossible. But I need a little more
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: encouragement than stick with us to believe that you guys
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: are ready to do something special because I've been waiting
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: all year long.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: And they have repeatedly let us down and not shown
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: up when we've numerous times thought, this is the moment.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: This is the spark. This is the thing they needed.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: And it just fizzles out every time. So they haven't
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: given us a reason, really, to think that anything's going
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: to change.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I get that.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy. Looks like it's just going to be
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: chalked up as just one of the worst years in
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: this franchise's history. Yeah. Finally, Z is for Zimbabwe.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Because, and I don't even know, I know they do
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: in some African countries, they practice voodoo. I would recommend
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that whoever survives, and I don't know who will. I
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: think everybody is up for evaluation from the top down,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: from Jerry Downs. Everybody's up for evaluation. No one should
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: feel great about their job status or the job that
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they did this past year. And I think everything needs
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to be evaluated after a stinker like this. But whoever
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: survives it should take a road trip to some country
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that practices voodoo and try to figure out why they've
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: been cursed in so many areas. And the areas I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: talking about, I'm not talking about like 50 years of it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about how Taylor Ward could go from being
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a productive baseball player, leading the league in walks, one
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: of the best on-base percentages in the sport, and being
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a player that when we faced Taylor Ward when he
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: was an Angel and an Oriole, it's like, don't sleep
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on Taylor Ward. You had to take that guy seriously.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And since we've added him, he's become, and it's not
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: even close, like statistically the worst player in the league,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that stuff needs to be investigated. And I'm not talking
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: about like Jerry and Justin. I'm talking about like David
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Duchovny needs to come in here and find out why
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: this stuff happens. How you could four years in a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: row bring in someone for a niche ability to hit left-handers,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and they're all veterans, granted. I mean, do you know
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: how hard that would have to be to four years
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: in a row pick a guy that was just productive
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: against left-handed pitchers, and then the moment you signed him,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: he became the worst hitter in the sport? Do you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: know how hard that would be to try to do that?
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's beyond. I wrote this weekend, how on earth
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: did he lead in walks? Because he swings at everything.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And never hits anything hard.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, there's no way this guy ever
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: was good at getting on base because he's.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Swinging way outside and low. I'm like, what are you doing?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Why are you chasing that?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: But Ref Snyder, Garver, Pollock.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Wong.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Wong.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Those were all veteran guys coming off really good years.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Mitch Garver almost won the World Series MVP. There has
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to be an investigation, and I'm not even kidding you,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't have anything to do with voodoo or
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: anything like that. Why do players come here and suddenly
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: become worst in the league?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's baffling.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: And it's one thing to do that four years in
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a row with guys who've had an entire offseason, and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: who knows? Maybe their eyesight went, you know, maybe Eddie
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: George hit the wall, and you just had bad luck
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and you picked four guys in a row that did that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It's another thing to get a guy at the trading deadline,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and the next day he comes to you and is
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: immediately terrible and never gets good. How does that happen here?
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I wish I had an answer.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Because I don't ever recall that happening anywhere else. How
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: does that happen here?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll see other people struggle maybe for a week.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Mark Trumbo, when he came here, horrific.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I can't blame that one on Jerry.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: No, he can't, but you know what? But it's, it's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a pattern. Yeah, it is like good players come here.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Rob ref Snyder was some
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: great player, but he was great at this particular niche
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: skill put on a Mariner uniform. Can't do it anymore.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Not only can I not do it anymore? I am
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: anti good at that. Yeah. And that's happened four years
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: in a row with four different veterans who were coming
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: off really good years and should have been able to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: contribute something to this team and were absolute liabilities, negative
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: war players. And then this one takes the cake with Ward.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I said at the trading deadline, get somebody
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: who is actively, I don't even want to risk a
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: winter them forgetting their skills. Get somebody who is actively
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: hitting left-handed pitching and can actively get on base and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: they get one and he gets here and immediately doesn't
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: walk for a month and cannot hit a ball hard
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and literally has been the worst player in the sport
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: since we acquired him. How does that happen?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Again, wish I had an answer.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: And is that Jerry? I mean, we're going to spend
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: some time on Jerry and blaming Jerry for a few
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: things here later this week. I can promise you. But
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: how do you blame him for that one?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: How do you blame Justin for acquiring Taylor Ward? Like
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I said, we played against Taylor Ward, and it's like, gosh,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: don't let Taylor Ward beat you. Not a great player,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: but he's always been a solid to good player. For years.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: He gets here. I can't do anything. I am not
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: going to do anything to help you win. I'm that bad.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I just immediately overnight got bad. I got terrible. Sorry.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Sorry about it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I don't have an answer. And I wish I did
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: because that is one of life's great mysteries. It's like
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: that and Stonehenge.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Exactly. All right. One last thing to close out our
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: show next on KJR.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Final segment of this show here on this Monday morning.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And we always close things out with one last thing
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: before handing it off to Greg Bell and Jessamyn McIntyre
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: coming your way here in a matter of moments. So, Ashley,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: what do you got for your one last thing here today?
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if you saw this, but the
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: 49ers dealt with another injury.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Someone broke a foot. And who was it?
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: It was their defensive end, Sam Okuanyo.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: We'll go with that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: So he broke his foot during practice last Wednesday. And
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: then the team was heading out that night to go
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: to Australia. And they didn't have anybody. They needed somebody
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: to replace.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Him right away. So they found a guy.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Khalid Kareem, who was with, because they needed someone that
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: had played under Raheem Morris that could just kind of
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: seamlessly come in. So they found this guy who had
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: been cut by the Giants and then picked up by
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Atlanta's practice squad. And then the day he got to Atlanta,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: like went there, had his passport, was at the practice facility,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: everything like that. He gets the call that now he's
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: going to the active roster for the 49ers, but he
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: has to go basically report right now and go straight
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: to Australia. So he has to call the facility in
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Atlanta and have them let him in at 11 at
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: night to get his passport. Cause that was like the
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: big requirement. You have to have an active passport. Then
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: he has to fly to San Francisco, take a physical
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: the next morning. Then he gets on a flight that
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: night straight to Australia. And they like sent him with
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: his little hydration pack and all these things like to
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: sleep properly. Then he got off the plane and had
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: to go straight to practice. And then he could kind
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: of resume all the activities or be normal with the team.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: But he was already there and practicing before his teammates
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: in Atlanta had even found out he had been picked
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: up on the active roster to San Francisco. Because they
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: were all wondering why he wasn't at practice in Atlanta.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Sounds like a whirlwind story. And I was like, of course,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: another injury.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: And how much is he really going to help? I mean,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: did you really go through all of that? Like, is
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: he going to really make a difference?
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling better about my pick, my first Factor Fiction
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: pick already. Yeah. All those injuries. Another one, yeah.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: That's why I just was like, oh, my gosh.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: And I saw the article right after you made your pick,
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: and we were talking about injuries, and I was like,
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: and there's another one.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I know that both
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: teams have done their research on this, but one went
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: down like a week before, and the other one is
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: like going down like the day of, like the night before.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Like the night before and the week before. So I think.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: One's trying to get acclimated to the jet lag, and
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: then one's saying, if we get there at the last second,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: we won't experience jet lag.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just going to go play and then get
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: on a plane and go right back home.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Is that not nuts?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will be interested.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: To see if you notice a difference on either one,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: aside from their actual skill and injuries and things like that,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: but just based on how they arrived.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I know they didn't half-ass the decision. They did their
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: research on what they thought was best, but isn't that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: strange that that's what they came up with? No, let's...
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Go beat it before the jet lag sets in, and
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: then we don't have to deal with it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Such different approaches.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to close with this. Something happened
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. I don't know if people heard about
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the Doug Eddings controversy, the Major League Baseball umpire, who's
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: not one of the guys that has seen the writing
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: on the wall because of ABS and is going to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: retire at year's end. Looks like we're stuck with Doug
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Eddings for a while. But he put on just an
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: absolute S show over the weekend. I mean, first of all,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: he told a pitcher to straighten out his cap.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that's bad enough. Okay? Because that's not his job.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: And then afterwards, he blamed... Hunter Goodman, the Rockies' all-star catcher,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: said that Goodman said it was distracting him, so I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: went out there and told him to straighten out his cap.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Goodman said afterwards, that is an absolute lie. I have
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: never said that. I would never say that. I don't care.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Hitting's hard enough. You think I care about the way
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: a man's wearing his hat?
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that seems like that would be a weak thing
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: to be distracted by.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And of course, the Cardinals manager was angry. And then
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Eddings blew a call what looked to be on purpose
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: just because he was angry and animatedly angry at the
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Cardinals at the time. And it is a really horrible look.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: for baseball. And this is the type of guy that
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: does need to go. I mean, he's not so great
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: that he's changing the way baseball is played. Sounds like
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: he's a pretty average veteran umpire, but he's obviously very
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: angry that he's had to take so much crap in
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: his life, and he's reached a breaking point. He's blowing
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: calls on purpose. Just because he's angry at the Cardinals
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: who are angry at him for telling their pitcher to
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: straighten out his cap? And he's lying about the story
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: afterwards and throwing a player under the bus? Oh no,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: he needs to go. He needs to go.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did like, though, that both the Cardinals and
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Rockies warmed up with their hats tilted the next day
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: just to Yeah.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Give him two of those.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, Greg Bell, Jess, next. Sports Radio 93.3

• 36:12
  Speaker 5: they are alternating traffic on State Route 202, right around
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: that immediate area.
