• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I like to start all like personal relationships, with knowing

  Speaker 1: your deepest, darkest secret, and then I can judge you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: going forward.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, agree, that's why I agree.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: I think that's a good way to start. You don't
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: mean to unfold after time.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of first dates, just start and write
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that way in my lifetime.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Just down what's your Social Security member? Just so I
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: can get an idea of your financial background.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of second dates, as it turns out, surprising. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of first law Yeah, definitely. Well, good morning.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: We have to have a little bit of fun, because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that wasn't too much fun last night. I mean it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: started great. Julio Rodriguez, it's the two run Homer. It
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was undeniable that all the concern about whether or not
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Toronto Canada Blue Jays We're going to take over our stadium,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that didn't even come close to happening. I mean, it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was a little tricky visually to kind of figure out
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: how many Blue Jays fans are here, because I did
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: spend some time doing that. I even took a picture
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of a Blue Jays family and was going to tweet
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: out something about could the security please escort these people
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: out of here? And they were such a sweet family,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: like a mom and dad and two little kids, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they couldn't wait. And I was about ready to plan
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a weapon on them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Good, Yeah, that would have been a good idea. Yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and then call security and uh and yeah, I just
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: decided not to go there. And it's a good thing
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I did, because they hardly made a ripple last night.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Mariner fans were just uh, they were outstanding again last
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: night for as long as they could be. Yea, at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: some point the game gets so lopsided it's hard to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to keep that energy up, understandably,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was not an issue last night. So
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it got off to such a great start the national
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: anthem and the old Canada song. Those triplets knocked that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: out of the park. So there was like a really
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: good vibe there for a while.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for a while.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was I was a little I
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: wasn't overly concerned about them coming in. I kind of
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: thought there's gonna be some Blue Jays fans there, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: you're right, it's hard to tell because of their royal
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: blue and now we have the city connects and so
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: it just kind of but when they were announcing the
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: lineups and the rosters, it was abundantly clear that they
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: were a gigantic minority and and and they showed up.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'll say.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Even even though the game got completely out of hand
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: when we went when a Rosarina and col hit those homers.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: They blew up again. The crowd sat down in.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: The middle innings when they were giving up crooked number
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: after crooked number, where they hadn't basically sat down since Friday.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think really, literally anyone in Seattle
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: had sat down since last Friday. So uh, they did.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Finally the legs got tired and what they were watching
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: wasn't They weren't getting a whole lot to cheer about,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: and so it made sense where it kind of quieted down,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: but they still you could tell that they were they
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: were hyped up.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I mean even like eighth or ninth inning.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: There was people above the hit it here, Cafe Hip
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Hip hoor hey man, I'm.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Still trying to cheer and yeah, like the city's.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: String down nine runs, they still were bringing it. Yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they were bringing it, that's for sure.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the team not so much. But that's the way
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: that it happens. Sometimes you're going up against a good
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: team and George made some mistakes and they pay.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: He had to pay for it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: And I don't think anyone thought that like Toronto was
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: just gonna roll over and die. And I think anyone
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: I didn't think it was going to be a sweep
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: by any means. So I didn't leave that game thinking
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: that's the worst thing. I mean I left I was like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: well that was disappointing. Okay, on to the next one.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that feeling carried over into our post game
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: show last night. I mean, Jimmy's remained pretty packed. You know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a game got over at eight thirty ish, eight twenty ish,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So it's not like it was all that late. But
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Jimmy's remained pretty packed throughout the our entire post game
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: show last night, probably because of Bucky and I. Yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: people can't get enough of us, Yeah for sure, But
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it remained and there was there was no feeling. I mean,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: there was even a member of the Mariners organization we
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: won't say any names. So it was there, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: smiling and hanging out with friends and.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Having a beer.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So nobody took it too seriously. And look, a lot
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of fan bases do take a loss, take it a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: little too far, you know, and certainly Seattle fan bases
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: have been known to do that. We've already had this
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: fan base, half of it, give up on the postseason
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: twice this postseason already.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: See how many people thought it was over after we
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: lost to Detroit in game one.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Game one and Game four. Yeah, and so, but there
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't any of that. Now that comes with a two
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: two game cushion, certainly, and taking both of those in Toronto,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: but everybody that we chatted with it came over and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: talked to us, and certainly the vibe in the bar
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was we're good, We're all right, and I do think
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: we're good and I do think we're all right, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I still think there's a very good chance that we
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: don't go back to Canada and we end up taking
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this thing in five. But obviously, to Ashley's point, uh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Toronto wasn't gonna roll over. They obviously have some talent.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: George wasn't hitting his spots, and this is just the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: lineup to take advantage of that. You're not gonna hit
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: your spots against the Toronto Blue Jays. They're gonna score
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: double figures against you.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean they have they have some really
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: talented hitters. And they while they cooled off, Bryce cooled
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: him off, and and for the most part, the pitching
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: staff cooled him off in Game two two didn't necessarily
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: let him get off the off the mat against George.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: It just is a it's a recipe for disaster if
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: he's not locating, and and it just means because he
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: pounds the zone.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: They know that he pounds the zone.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: They know that he trusts his stuff, and so he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: gonna come after you with fast balls and sinkers, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: and if he falls behind, there's a really good chance
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: the next one's in the zone and he will miss
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: over the plate versus miss off of the play because
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: he trusts that his stuff is good enough. Well against
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: this team, they were aggressive. They had a great game
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: plan where they were just saying, hey, we're gonna go
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: up there. I mean that third inning where it kind
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: of started going off the rails. There wasn't a guy
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: that saw more than three pitches. And in that bat
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: I think with the exception of the Kirk walk where
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: they had a base open, they basically uninttentionally around them,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: you know, was like base ope, we're go go go
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: ahead and put him on so we can try to
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: get that force at home. And so to me, it
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: just was they executed a game plan and George didn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: execute his. It's not that he needs to change his
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: he just needs to execute. They executed, and that's the
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: name of the game.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I think in the.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Playoffs, every pitch means more. You make a mistake, then
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: it does the hitter capitalize on it. Last night they
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: capitalized on it. When he made a mistake.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: They hurt him.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I have such faith in our starting pitching and have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: for so long. Whenever I see one of our guys
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: get tattooed that badly, and he got tattooed and it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. The first two innings, they wouldn't
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: have all that left the infield. He had an infield
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: single that he gave up that you know, it was
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: just a high chopper. I mean, there's not much g
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Gino tried to rush the throw and ends up throwing
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it away, but he didn't. He got a lazy fly
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: ball to center field, I guess to close out the second,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: but I mean, there was no indication that George was
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in store for any kind of struggle through those first
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: two innings, and then all of a sudden, I mean
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a cheapie in the inning. I mean, it
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: was just crush, crush, crush. Eight nine hitters are the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: ones that got it started. And Andre's Jimenez, who's outstanding
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: defensively and not much of a hitter, ends up hitting
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the two run homer to tie it, and then it
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: just wasn't over with. And so I'm such a big
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: believer in this group. My immediate thought is he's tipping
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: his pitches, and nobody hits George that hard if they
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: don't know what's coming. I don't want to feel I
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's it. There's any truth to that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe there is some truth to that, but I can't
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just Hey, one of our guys gets hit. They must
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: be figuring out what he's throwing. And then I went
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: home because most of the games that I watch with
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are from my television set. I don't usually
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: watch them deep in right field, and so I get
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: home and I see all the highlights and he was
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: just everything right over the heart of the plate and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: they were murdering it. I mean, like Dalton var Show,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize what a.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Bullet he hit.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I knew Guerrero's because Guerrero's almost is double almost
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: took Gino's head off, and it hit off the wall.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, that's hit pretty hard. Yeah, But I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: mean the entire inning they just crushed him, and the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: entire inning after from the second to the third, he
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: went from locating fine to not locating at all, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: he paid and suffered the consequences.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna happen.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's the beauty of just sports in general, right,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: is that they're human. And while they show you over
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: the course of a year, thirty starts or you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: multiple seasons how good they can be. Every single person
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: is going to have a time at some point. You
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: hope it's not in the playoffs.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Everybody.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Everybody's gonna have a time where they're not on their game. Now,
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the difference is how many mistakes do you make versus
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: how many mistakes do they make. And when I'm saying,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I'm saying the pitchers making mistakes over the heart of
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: the plate, because inevitably just comes out to numbers. If
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: you make twenty mistakes over the heart of the plate
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: against a good hitting team, which once you get to
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: the final four of any sort of sport you have
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: good teams, you then have good players on If you
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: make twenty mistakes and they make ten, you're probably gonna lose.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, it really can.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: You can simple it up to that, because even if
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: you capitalize on eighty percent of years and they only
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: capitalize on seventy percent, they are beating you at that
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: point in time. I mean, it's just a matter of
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: you're not gonna capitalize on every mistake. Nobody expects that,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: but at this point in time. That's why the precision
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: and the attention to detail is so paramount.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be having to throw.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Extra pitches because you give extra outs, because sure enough,
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: if you make a mistake at that point in time, boom,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: there's a two run homer. That wasn't the case necessarily
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: last night.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: It was just George in that inning.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: They were going to ambush him, they were going to
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: jump on him early in counts and he would either
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: fall behind and then they know for sure, this dude
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: doesn't go fall behind two. Oh, he's coming with something here.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: He's going to give me something good to hit. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: sure enough they were on time and on plane and
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: squared something up.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: It wasn't there.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: He didn't get any balls that were hit hard right
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: at anybody. And so, I mean, it's just the recipe
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: for bad things to happen when you don't execute and
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: the other team does. I mean, if you were in
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: the middle of May, you might get away with a
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: few more mistakes, or he definitely you don't. You're in
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: the beginning of August, and you might get away with
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: a few more mistakes. In the postseason. You're just not
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: going to do it against a good hitting team that
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: was quiet. The first couple of games found themselves painted
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: into a corner to some degree and they were like,
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: all right, boys, it's time we got to wake up.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: We're not going out there expecting Shane Bieber to shut
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: him down. We know what George Kirby is going to
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: try to do against us. We're going to go in
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: with a good game plan and if he's hit missing
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: over the heart of the plate, we're gonna crush him.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what they did last night.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: I think we should have let him score forty three runs,
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: just get it all out of their.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just drain the bucket.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, here, ye here, just batting.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Practice, less fun. Yeah, it would have been a longer night.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It was long enough night as it was.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Actually, let's just wear them out now.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Though, there is the question about where do you go
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: with this rotation from here, because Brian Wu continues to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: be you know, every single series, every single sports talk
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: radio show or baseball show is going to talk about
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: an X factor a wild card, And sir, sure enough,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we did it in our roundtable. Softy went around the room,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: watch the wild card in the first round. Well, here
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: we are in the visional round, and I don't know
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: if I ever brought the question up, or excuse me,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the Championship Series round. I don't know if I ever
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: brought the question up. I don't know if I was
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: ever asked a question. I think it was too obvious.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's Brian Wu, like, what is his availability? When is
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: his availability? How good is he going to be if
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he gets called? And so now you have to consider
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: what George just did and then having the possibility of
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Brian Wu returning, but not knowing how good he's going
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to be upon his return as you shape the rotation
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the series.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays are back in this thing, and.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You just you got to plan for it to be
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a long series. And so the only thing we know
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: for sure is that Luis Castillo is pitching tonight. That's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: obvious to everybody, as he should and maybe he should
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: have pitched last night.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But the only thing we know for sure is that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: he's going to pitch tonight. Beyond that, I mean, I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: just the last thing that I heard last night about
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the Mariners was that maybe the Mariners aren't so convinced
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that Brian Wu's going to start Game five after all,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and that maybe he's gonna come out of the pen
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: for his first playoff appearance just to gauge how ready
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: he is and how Brian Wu like he actually is.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: But you do have the possibility here of Wu starting
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in game five, and because you're the only organization left
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that actually has five quality starters if Wu's healthy, I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: mean the Brewers have one. No, the Brewers have one.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: We have five. Yeah. Now, if Wu's healthy, do you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: now looking to see what happened with George last night?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Do you go Wu five, Miller six, and then Gilbert seven.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the plan was going into the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: series that George is pitching three and seven. Well, Game seven,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: with the way Toronto knocked George around, I mean, I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: trust George. If we only had four starters, I'm bringing
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: George Game seven. I'm just gonna trust he pitches more
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: like he did against the Tigers than he did last night.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is we have more
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: than four starters. And now that Bryce looked so good
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: in his last start, I mean, I don't think anybody
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: should have any reservations about him getting the ball in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: one of these remaining games in the series. So if
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Wu's if they're going to roll the dice on WU
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: being healthy in game number five, Maybe George doesn't start again.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's the guy that comes out of the pen
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: if you need him in game six or game seven.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: It's possible.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: And I'm with you after the you know, yesterday during
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: the third inding, I think it was there was reports.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I didn't notice it, but that Wu went out to
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: the bullpen, and so you know, Dan Wilson was asked
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: what was that all about? When what was the situation
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: in which you would have used him? And he played
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: it off as it was really more so of letting
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: him go out there and feel what it's like in
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: case that's the manner in which we use him. So
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: it brings in that and to your point of what
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: you've been a little bit concerned about since he's been injured,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: and when will they use him to kind of knock
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: the rust off and see exactly how he feels, because
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I think you correct me if I'm wrong, but you're
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: a little concerned about if they bring him out there
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: to start and now it's just not right, the inflammation
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: and his peck flares up again. And now said you've
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: got eight innings or nine innings you have to cover
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: with your bullpen. I think they might have a little
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: bit of concern because while in his press conference he says,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I feel good. The last thing that I need is
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: them to give me the ball, tell me, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: tell me when I'm pitching. He also says went to
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: answers Angie Mintig's question of what's your percentage of Well,
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, nobody feels great at this point.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well that's not what I wanted to hear.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted you to hear you say I've had
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: two weeks off, I feel one yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, give a heel, kicker.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't be too terribly surprised, honestly. I mean, you're
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: gonna have Luis today, you still are pretty much on
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: regular rest. If you were to then go Bryce in
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: game five and Logan Gilbert in game six if needed,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: and then and then you still.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Have George Kirby.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna sit here after
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: this and say George Kirby I don't trust him in
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: game seven, I still would even as bad as yesterday looked,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: because it was one of those they capitalized on in
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: just about every mistake in that third inning, and then
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: the dam broke, and next thing you know you're down
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: twelve to four.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm only saying it if Wo's gonna pick right,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: because we started this series with him saying tentatively he's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: starting Game five. That's the only reason I'm bringing this up.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, if George has to pitch game seven. He
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: pitched Game five against Trek Scooble and he showed up right.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: But to see him get hit around a little bit,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and knowing that we do have potentially little embarrassment of
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: riches this time of the year, I don't think it's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: out of the question that we don't see George start
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: another game this series. But we'll find out. All right,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to discuss today. Let's find out
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: what's on tap for the rest of the show.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: On chucking, But what what's on te what's untech?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Thirteen to four Jays over the MS coming up at
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: six thirty Mariners morning after we've been doing it all
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: season long. We're not going to shift now. Luis Castillo
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: versus Max Scherzer is the pitching matchup. We will talk
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: about Max Scherzer coming up on the show. That's an
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: interesting story. Five thirty eight, First pitch there, Game three
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of the NLCS will be played tonight as well, so
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: doubleheader this evening. The Dodgers are up two to zero
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in that series and they get to go home to
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles to face the Brewers. Cracking back in action.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They still have not lost a game. Well, I guess
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they did lose a game in overtime, but they got
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a point. They still haven't played a game in which
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they did not get a point. I was talking to
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Mike Betton a little bit last night because it's all
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: he thinks about, and he's like, they couldn't be off
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to a better start under Lane Lambert.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, they just love the guy.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So let's carry that into Ottawa tonight against the Senators.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Sounders play their last regular season game this weekend. The
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: NBA starts on Tuesday. Oh, by the way, as if
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: we didn't have enough to discuss, Husky's at Michigan on Saturday,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Sophti will join us at seven oh five. We'll try
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to ask him a question about the Huskies. Something tells
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: me he just wants to talk Mariners, but we'll try
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to balance him out a little bit. Nobody else has
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: been able to. We'll give it a shot. Seahawks Texans
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Monday Night football. This week, Mike Sando will join us
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to preview Thursday night football, Steelers versus Bengals, So obviously
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a lot to accomplish today. Mariner's Morning After comes your way. Next,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it's Chugging Buck in the Morning Sports Radio ninety three
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM on this Craft game. Yeah, their second
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: post game show we've done on this.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Hey, when things are going good, you answer the bell.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: When things aren't going great, you answer the damn bell.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: George was there answering questions last night, and we can
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: do two postgame shows afterwards.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: I was not pumped about it, y' just sitting behind
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: you looking at your head the whole game and then
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Homer's flying out of the yard and I'm like.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of them.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: I got to go do a postgame show. I'm like,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: you know what, you don't just do it when it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: a good game to talk about. You do it when
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: it's an any game to talk about.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: You just half asset when it's a bad game.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, okay, Max evert playoff time.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So it's a highlight of sound by the preview of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: what's going on two night. Marin This Morning after all
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: season long right here on Chuck and Buck in the mornings.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned, the fans showed up last night and
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: others sell out. It was all Mariner fans. Yeah, there
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: were some Blue Jay fans in there, but it was
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: all Mariner noise. It felt like it, it sounded like it,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it tasted like it. And so the Mariners get off
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to a really good start. George Kirby goes phases four
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in the first inning, gave up an infield single, puts
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: a zero on the board, and then in the bottom
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: of the first Julio Rodriguez comes to the plate, rodriga
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: strus place when Nurts sure did our house Fox television
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: there on the call last night. That was crush.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Now, that was crush. Yeah, I touched that one mm.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Good to see two run homer at that point made
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it two to nothing. But in the third inning, the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: walls came down around George Kirby. He gave up a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: two run homer to Andres Jamenez. Before he could get
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: out of the third, he was trailing five to two,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: uh and then at six too, then eight to two.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: George Kirby ends up giving up eight earned runs over
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: four innings. Last night and the Blue Jays run away
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: with a thirteen to four victory. But George was there
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to answer the bell after the game, answering questions.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I definitely came out the way I
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: wanted to. Yeah, I kind of just I wasn't really
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: excuting when they when they got the guys on base,
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: and they're really aggressive when that happened. So you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: they made some good swings that I wasn't really making
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: a lot of good pitches there in the third and fourth,
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: but a I was just trying to be really cute
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: with it, and you know some sliders just kind of
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: leap over the middle or you know, missed a heater
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: to him and is there try to go up, just
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: hit throw it down. But you know it's all right,
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: I'll you know, next of them out there, I'll fix that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: So yeah, it's it's you know, I'm I'm never gonna
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: you know straight away from what I do well is
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: is get it, get ahead and be in the zone.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: But you know, they had a lot of comfortable bets
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: to night, so maybe just throw it aside a little more,
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: get them off for something, or you know, maybe a
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: different look for first pitch. But they're just kind of
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: constantly reminding myself that I'm in control and you know,
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: not try and let any of those bats, you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: bother me. Just take a deep breath. So I got
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: to control what I can control.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, self awareness is good check yep. Also, I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: don't think they would have his confidence was shaken by
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that last night. George was infinitely confident to a person,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and he does sometimes struggle when things aren't going his
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: way and a little bit of rain makes him wet.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: That is one of the criticisms of George Kirby, and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: maybe that happened last night. Let a couple of sliders
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: leak over the middle. I guess he didn't get one
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: swing and miss on his sinker the entire evening. So
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: he certainly was not vintage George Kirby last night, and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays made him pay for it. One thing
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: we haven't discussed is so whether or not he should
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: have been taken out of the game a little bit earlier.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree. I know a lot
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of people thought that he should have been just immediately
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: or not immediately, but taken out of the game as
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: it was. The runs were piling up. It's a really
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: difficult position to be in because if you're Dan Wilson,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, down five to two. I know it's early,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: but I got to play back to back games. It's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: looking like and I'm not going to use any of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: my four best relievers in the third inning of a game.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I'm trailer by three runs. I'm not going to do that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: So the other option is, do I go to my
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: lesser than relievers? Do I go to a Vargas here?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Do I go to Ferguson here to try to stop
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the bleeding? And then when you evaluate that, you're like,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you know, George came out and struck out the first
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: two batters he faced in the fourth George is probably
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: my best tourniquet for the wound that he created, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: so he sticks with sticks with George, and then he
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: gives up the solo home runs on the first pitch
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to both Springer and Guerrero within the next three hitters.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And then at that point, now you're looking Bucky at
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: seven to two, and now you're like, well, now I'm
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: no hurry to even get to Vargus and Ferguson at
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: this point. So that was just it really snuck up
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: on them. How quickly the Blue Jays did their damage
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: against George. I don't think anyone saw that coming, most
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: notably Dan Wilson. And once the damage was done, I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: don't think he was going to be chasing a three
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: run deficit two games up in the series with his
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: best pitchers, knowing that most likely we're gonna have to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: have all four of those guys on back to back
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: nights in Games three and Games four and five.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I agree, I don't think.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, based on what you said, I mean, in
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: the first two innings, he basically he gets everybody out,
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: with the exception of that chopper that that that Vladimir
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Guerrero hit that somehow bounces so far that Gino has
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: to go back and ends up. He gets on with
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: that rush to throw a little bit. Other than that,
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: he dices him up, and then it's a matter of
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: three pitches in the third inning. It's first pitch was
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: a good pitch actually off the plate end that turns
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: into that double, and two pitches later, bang you're tied.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: And then it's just kind of how quickly that the
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: wheels kind of came off there with you know, everybody
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: just kind of any mistake that he made single and
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: you know, and then a double and then next thing
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: you know, you're you're you get another out, so you
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: got two outs and you kind of walk around, you
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: walk a guy to have bases loaded. It's still too
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: too you think about it that moment, you're right, come on, Kirby,
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: get out of this right. One out, base is loaded.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: He gets the ground ball to first, so he does
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: the hard part right and then all of a sudden
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: spikes the first pitch slider boom, and the go ahead
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: run comes. And that was like the break that kind
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: of broke the dam. That was the moment when it
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: just kind of started to leak because a couple of
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: pitches later, that varshow hit crushes that ball off the
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: right field wall and it's five to two. You don't
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: there's no need to panic. I mean really, it's one
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: of those No, he's not punting on the thing. He's
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: not punting on the game. Five to two, and you
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: just don't even care. You're just gonna let.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: It get out of hand.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: No, he's thinking that our best option of like you said,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: perfect way to put it, the best tourniquet for the
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: wound that he created is him versus Yeah, we're not
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: going to blow through. You're not bringing Brash in real quick,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: you know, or even Gabe or Barzarre.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: No, Gabe was loosening at the time, but I think
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: once it got to five to two, it's like, I'm
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: not gonna use that right now. Do you use anything,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be Vargas. And I don't know if I
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: trust Vargas more than I trust attired George.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Well, and yeah, you don't even know if he's tired,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: he just was making mistakes or just as he was,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: he was just not executing. And yet if you can
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: it's not that he wasn't saying like in the regular season,
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: we're gonna try to get him through five or we're
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: gonna you gotta eat innings, because in the regular season
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: you can't go one hundred and sixty two games and
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: then blow starters out in the second third inning because
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: they run into trouble.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: You your bullpen arms will fall off. Yeah, and so
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: you have to do that. But now that you've done.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: That throughout the regular season, you can use your bullpen
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: a little bit more. You can expect to stretch them
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: out a little bit more, and there's built in off days,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: but you still have to think. You got back to
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: back to back games here at home, and so if
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: you fall behind and you don't think, hey, I don't
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: want to blow you know, my highest leverage guys right here,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: then your next best option is get through it. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: he ends up kind of getting through it and then
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: gets ambushed a couple more times to make it seven
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: ye and then basically walks a guy. All right, you're
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: out of the game, and Vargas gives up that run
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: and some more runs. So it just ended up the
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: damn broke and then the floodwaters came and it is
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: what it is, but it isn't necessarily Oh I have
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: to find someone to blame. The blame is George Kirby
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: will take it. Yeah, I didn't execute. They were too comfortable, yep.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: All right, Well make that adjustment next time you face them,
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: or next time you're out there on the bump, make
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: that adjustment because you can. You're going to go up
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: against good hitting teams the rest of the way. You
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: make a bunch of mistakes, you're gonna pay for it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you don't have to. If you have to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: blame somebody. You don't have to search far. The six
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: foot five inch skinny pitcher in the backgrounds raising his hands.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like, yeah, so don't look elsewhere. Yeah, just
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: over here. I did entertain when we hit the back
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: to back home runs. I did lean over to Benton
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: and I said, how.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Awesome would it be if we had ten in a
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: row of these?
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: I beg that would be the coolest thing ever in
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: the history of not just sports but mankind.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And we've still just been tied. Yeah, I don't care.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I said, we just need eight more or whatever it was.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: And I was like, and then in my mind I
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: was like, could we do it?
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe that would be amazing. I don't have happened, no,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: but I would have been there for it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: That would have been the greatest single moment in the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: history of sports.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, idea, universe, we just need.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Two more Grand Slams. I was like, Okay, yeah, two
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Grand slams.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Load of fire them off. Still just Grand slams, No
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: big deal. Uh, tonight five thirty eight, first pitch game four,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: So still a chance to get accomplished. What you'd like
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to get accomplished here, and that's to take two out
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: of three at home and win the whole damn series.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Uh So, Luis Castillo will get the ball for the MS.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I love the rock sign that he gave during the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: player introductions. That was nice, just so subtle, just so cool.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: And he's going up against Max Scherzer, and that is
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a talking point. We need to talk about Max Scherzer
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: at some point during the course of our show. So
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: five thirty eight, first pitch tonight, Game four of the ALCS.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: More on that coming up on the program, but not
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: all we're going to discuss today. As a matter of fact,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Monday night football is coming pretty fast. And that Houston
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Texans team, what a weird study they are early in
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: this year. We'll talk about what makes them interesting.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Next.

  Speaker 8: M hid Bye's gonna be away at seven o'clock this.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Morning, David Softy Maller will be with us at seven
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: oh five. He's gonna be fine. He's gonna be fine,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and if he's not, he's not going to be so
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: far gone that we can't bring him back to fine.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I just talked to him, yeah, briefly.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think I think he's gonna be all right, Right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: He's okay.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: It's a right guy. He's a right guy, emotional guy.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Guy.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll keep him. We'll keep him on the street.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I do love him. Yeah, we need him, We need him.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone needs Softy in their lives.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: So Softy joins. At seven oh five, we'll talk Mariners,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: will also of course talk Huskies, which is the original
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: design of the whole conversation anyway, but we'll get that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to that at seven oh five. And we got to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: talk some Seahawks today as well. We're getting closer and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: closer to Monday Night Football. That's going to be fun
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: part of a double header on Monday Night football, which
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I don't really like. Monday night football should be a
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: little more sacred than that. It's just one game, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: if we have the Monday night football game, I want
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: everybody to be watching us. I don't even want to
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: be a part of a double header where the first
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: game will be over. I don't know why they're doing
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that in the National Football League, but they're doing it
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: way too frequently. At least we're not going head to
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: head against another game. That's just a slap in the face.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: But the it should be a really good game, and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks four and two at this point, the Houston
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Texans are two and three. What an interesting study they are.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: They're supposed to be pretty good.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: C J.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Stroud is supposed to be bounce back from his sophomore
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: slump season and get back on the track of being
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: one of the top young quarterbacks in the National Football League.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: But they got off to an zero to three start.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: They could not score points against teams that are really good.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: At the Rams home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: they lost by one point two, and then at Jacksonville
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and it turns out Jacksonville's a little bit better than
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: what people thought, and they lost that by a score.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Then they win twenty six to nothing over the Titans,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and okay, nice win, but we can pick that apart
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: because it's the Titans and they're obviously in a bad way. Hell,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: they fired their coach one week later, and then they
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: win forty four to ten over the Ravens. They're back right. Well,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: that was the Cooper Rush led Ravens, and that's a
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: completely different team than the Lamar Jackson led Ravens, And
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: so I think that Houston might be the biggest question
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: mark in the entire National Football League?
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Are you?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: How good are you? Are you even good? As they
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: get ready to play Monday night. One thing that's pretty
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: clear about them they play some defense. They are number
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: one in the National Football League in points allowed and
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: it's not even close. They are allowing twelve point two
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: points per game. And people when they think of Houston Bucky,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: they think of CJ. Stroud, Nico Collins and the offensive
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: names because everybody plays fantasy football, but Damiko Ryans is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: a defensive minded head coach. He took the league by
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: storm two years ago. And even though he doesn't have
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: his offense clicking, he certainly has what he does best clicking.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's in my other couple of fantasy leagues.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: I picked up that defense because it's crazy talented. I
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: mean you think about the guys the was it Stingley
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: out there on the outside. But then they have a
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: couple did the Hunter and will Anderson getting after the passer?
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: I mean they have some dudes.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: I mean they've spent some draft capital on some guys
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: that are coming to fruition. I would not sleep on
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: this team because, like you said, their record says oh,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: maybe this is a team you should most certainly beat,
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: But the reason they lost some close games where they
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: were playing some tough competition the first few weeks of
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: the season. Since then they've rebounded, and maybe it's against
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: two subpar teams, But at the same time, I have
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: a feeling that they're not trying to lose the momentum
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: that they've gained right now, not to regardless of who they're
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: going up again.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Make for a fascinating matchup. We will certainly be talking
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: about it a lot more tomorrow, and then Monday will
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: do basically Friday, and then Tuesday will do basically Monday
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: of next week. So Seahawks Texans this Monday night, as
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: we get ready for a brand new week in the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: National Football League that starts tomorrow. Headlines David Softy Mallert
