  Speaker 1: his medical leave. Ashley Ryan is here, she's bespecled, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: my name is Chuck Powell.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: It's great to have you with us here on this Monday.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You were running a little later than normal. I'm running
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a little later than normal. I didn't even have a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: chance to go get water. And it's because of the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: stop lights. Yes, what the f thank you. I wasn't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just imagining that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: No, And it was like and just packed every like
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: semi trucks and cars everywhere, and you couldn't get They
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: were like letting ten light ten cars through total.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Now my working theory right now, and I have no
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: idea if this actually happens, but like they probably have
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to do that during like rush hour craziness so that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: things don't get you know, so that so they just
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: keep them. Yes you're in trap, but you're kept like
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a block at a time. Yeah, that's what it felt
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: during rush hour. But at five point thirty in the morning,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: somebody flitches flips a switch, right like on Friday, after
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: rush hour is over, somebody's job is to switch those
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: lights so that you can now sail through and you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't get stopped at every single light. Because that's what
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was happening. I got stopped at seven consecutive red lights
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in a very short period of time. We couldn't get
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: out of red lightdom.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I always put in my GPS because, especially
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: with the way that the express lanes were and things
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: were screwed up, I always want to know if something
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: happens and I need to go an alternate route to
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: get to work. I always put it in, so once
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I got off the freeway, my time to work increased.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was like, what.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: I'm I just got off the freeway, is what's happening?
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: And even getting off the freeway was backed up, That's.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: What was happening.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They I mean, maybe not, maybe it's just flucish, but
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the red lights were happening so so frequently that you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: could not get through more.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Than one at a time.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I agreed, Yeah, And so everything kept getting backed up
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and everybody was getting annoyed and frustrated. So I'm like,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: is this just flucish that this is occurring or did
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: somebody not flip the switch Friday night?
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: Well, whoever that person is needs a reprimand yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we're here. It's good to have you with us.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And yes, we got a lot to do during the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: course of our show today. But I don't have water,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so keep that in mind.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: Okay, Well that's going to be tough that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna be sitting there like, gosh, this
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: poor guy's getting through a twenty minute segment no water,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: poor godrch Yeah, jeez, and he's coming off a weekend.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He probably did a little drinking.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he was on the sun.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was out in the sun for a little bit.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Probably had a lot of coffee this week. Yes, yes,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm dehydrated.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Oh man, I hadn't thought about this.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So anyway, well get through it, you know, just you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sixteen more minutes, I can get some water.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You can do it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: I can do it. I can do it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I'll fight through it for you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: The listener. I'll fight through it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So anyway, hope you had a great weekend out there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I hope you had a great Father's Day, all you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: daddy's and sons and daughters and everybody else that got
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to participate there. And Father's dated five iron just feel
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like a king. Did you carry him around and his
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: throne all day? I guess is his feet didn't touch
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the ground.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: His feet touched the ground.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: They did, they did? You failed, But yeah, I really did.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: But he got to have I think it was a
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: pretty good Father's Day for him. I asked him what
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: he wanted to do, and he said, watch the US
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: open and you gut and if you guys want to
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: go to your mom's that's great.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: And he was joking when he said it, but I
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: was like, okay, that's great.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: So we hung out in the morning, and then I
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: took my mom to Low's and the grocery store and
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: ran some errands with her.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: Then we came back and we had lunch.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Meanwhile, five Iron watched the US Open in the back yard,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: grilled up some hot dogs.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: He just had his own thing going.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: And then I said, so you can have your day
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: and then just tell me what you want for dinner,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: and I'll make whatever you want for dinner.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: So then we did bowlon AI's for dinner because that's
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: his favorite. Yeah, and sat outside and ate dinners.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's one of the things. And I don't know if
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it goes over real well, but they're just sometimes and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's more guys than girls,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: where you're just like, you really what I want.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: I just like an afternoon to myself.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: And that's what he got.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And so I think maybe you satisfied.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: So I think he probably had.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think he probably had a ball out there watching
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: golf and just taking it all.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Sonny, it was nice.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: A man in his kingdom, that's right, that's right, watching
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: his favorite pastime.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: And the US Open delivered too, because at first leaving Saturday,
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh man, this is gonna be a.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well And I'll say this, I mean, I mean, I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: don't know how far our golf is down my favorite
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: sports list, but it's certainly not in the top four.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I'll say that I typically just watch the majors. That's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the kind of guy I am, and I do keep
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: up with it, you know, green Jacket Draft. Certainly I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: want to bring a little bit of expertise to that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: when we do our previews. So I do keep up
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: with it. But I'm I'm mostly when it comes to golf,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: just a major's watcher kind of guy. But I'll give
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: golf credit for this because of that ability. Like if
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are playing in a football game, you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the idea that you screw up, you get points subtracted
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: off your score. Yeah, you know, you don't have that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in any other sport. And so here I'm sitting there thinking,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark's probably got this thing, I mean, that big
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of a lead on this tough of a course. No
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: one else's I mean, people are the idea of getting
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a bunch of birdies today.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Man, that's just not gonna happen.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So it was gonna have to be a combination of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: one other guy in the field has a couple birdies,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and Clark's gonna have to come back down to the pack. Now,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you don't have that in other sports, Like I said,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you don't get points, you don't get runs subtracted from
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: your total. As the Mariners if you screw up an inning.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Thank goodness.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But in golf, I mean, it can just happen
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: so quickly. He starts the day with six strokes. He
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: was up, Yeah, I'm and I'm monitoring it. I don't
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: even have it on one of my two TVs. At
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the beginning. I was gonna flip over there the moment
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that it got interesting, and so he'd come back a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: little bit from the pack. And then the next thing
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I know, I look up and it's a one stroke
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: lead over Sam Burns. It's four to three at that point.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So then I'm like, and then I scurry, Okay, oh gosh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: this has just turned into something dramatic. I scurry to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: get that on so that I can catch up with everything.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And then sure enough he builds a lead back up.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Now he's like three strokes ahead. He was five under
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and Burns is two under. I'm like, all right, that's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a pretty good reaction because a lot of athletes might
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: wilt in that situation. I'm blowing it. On Sunday, I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: had a huge lead. No one thought I could be
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: tracked down, and now all of a sudden, I'm only
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: up one stroke at this point. And I think a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: lot of athletes crumble in that moment. And so he
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: gets it back to a three stroke lead, and I'm like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: all right, he's back in control, and then not ten
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: minutes later, it's back to a one stroke lead again.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it has a way, this sport, more so
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: than any other sport, of creating drama in an instant,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and that was certainly on display yesterday.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Well yeah, and you think about the way that I
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: mean Wyndham's putt when he had the two putt to
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: win it on eighteen. I mean, the first putt was
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: awesome to leave him just a short putt to win.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: But think about Sam Burns on eighteen. I mean, he's
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: three inches two inches away from tying him, and then
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: that thing would have gone to a playoff, which is
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: the ultimate drama and what do you want on a
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: US Open? But I mean, I don't know the whole thing.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: It was awesome just to yeah, because you've got this
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: up and this down. Even they called it like a
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: roller coaster and the articles about it like, yeah, I
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: was a roller coaster for Wyndham Clark and Sam Burns
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: is probably kicking himself about that two inches.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. And Clark was so quick. I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever seen anybody. As soon as
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Scheffler's shot was over, I mean, that's the moment, right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: This is the moment where you win the US Open
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and you win a major and.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: You know, I know you're.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: An inch away, but maybe you don't want to You're
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: gonna take some time make sure you don't blow that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: But as soon as Scheffler cleared.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: He like ran in there and knocked it in and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: like yeah, and then started to celebrate. And then there
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was that it was Father's Day, so there's always the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: father's portion of the US Open, and I and the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Wyndham clar 's dad they fly in that day. He
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't there at the tournament, so the odd opportunity to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: kind of surprise Windham as he's coming off the course,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and that was cool.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: That was good.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But I loved what the mics picked up on Papa
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Clark what he said to him. He said, you know
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the whole I'm so proud of you, and he said
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that over and over. But then you caught the reason
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: why he was so proud. He's like, you will never
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: have a more difficult round in your life. And I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: think he was right to go to bed on Sunday
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: night and have a big lead and everybody thinks it's over.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And because of the reasons that I just explained about
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: how golf, you know you not only is somebody, not
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: only is an entire field trying to track you down,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and it only takes one guy to get hot, but
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you also can start giving points away, you can start
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: giving runs away, which he did, but he gets nearly
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: tracked down. Jicks in the rear view mirror are just
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: as close as they appear. And then for him to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: hold on in that fashion, I think Papa Clark was
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: right about that that was going to be the even
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: though he had a big lead going into the day,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he wasn't going to face more pressure in his life
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: thinking about all the things. First of all, it's a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: tough course to begin with.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Tough crowd for him, tough crowd.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You know, and now all of a sudden, your lead
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: is evaporated and you start there's no teammate that you
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: can pass the ball to. Here, you take this shot,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you gotta make all of the shots. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: for him to withstand all of that and finish it off,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I got to give a lot of credit to the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: hotel because we've seen a lot of people crack under
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that situation, and he held his own and ends up
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: winning a second major.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you wouldn't have even considered it had he
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: blown the lead. I don't think people would have said
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: that he choked. I think it would have been Sam
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Burns storming back and having the great round, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: to put himself in that position. But you know, he's
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: thinking that like, oh my god, I can't choke this away.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: I can't choke this away, I can't ruin this. I've
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: worked three days with this lead. I'm not gonna I
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: can't lose it now, or none or all of it
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: was for nothing, And I mean, yeah, the way, the
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: fact that he was able to keep his composure, the
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: fact that he was I mean that was the thing
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: is you're looking watching on eighteen and that on that
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: big putt, thinking all he has to do is, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: give himself a decent chance. But there was a solid
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: chance he was he could have ended up in a
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: three putt situation. And for the fact that he had
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: that first putt that was so good. It was like, oh,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: he's dialed in again, He's got this. And I thought
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: the other one of the other cool moments.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Because it would have been an easy moment to just crack.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, that would have been the moment to like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I can't blow this now.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: And we've seen people do it thousands.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Of times, We've seen people do it, and yet that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: was he's probably his best shot of the entire tournament.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean he put it right there next to the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: cup where he's not even really trying to put it
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: in the cup. Necessarily, Hey it goes in, it goes in. Yeah,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But that's what he was trying to do, is just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: make that second putt as easy as possible.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Any perfection.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he couldn't have dialed it up any better.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: I thought.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: My other favorite moment though, was because that's what it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: so fun about the US Open is the fact that
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: you got Father's Day and all the special stories and
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: all the things that go along with it. And when
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: little seventeen year old Miles Russell had his caddie go
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: over on eighteen and give his dad the bib, so
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: his dad got to walk up eighteen with him after
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: and his son on the final Yeah, I thought, oh
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: my god, I would have been sobbing if I had
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: been watching that in real life.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It was so cute watching it in real life because
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Ashley watched it in fake I did, well.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: I watched it on TV, but I wasn't sobbing. Yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: but I don't know then. I did watch it about
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: seventeen times on video, so I did almost make myself cry.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Bets, I'm gonna say that you did.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: I didn't, Shockingly, I did not, Okay, Okay, I thought
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: it was great though.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, congratulations to Wyndham Clark. I don't know
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: if we were going to have another bulk of time
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: on today's busy ass show to be able to talk
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: about that, but certainly coming off Father's Day and US
• 14:19

• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It's the support like that that gets me through these
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: tough times. I'm glad Wyndham Clark takes his second major,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a second US Open World Cup also was over the weekend.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: It continues obviously, and of course, I mean we do
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have to take a little bit of time to acknowledge Friday.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: It was so fun. It was great to have stretch
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: on with us. For the four hours and his energy
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: was infectious. That was very fast four hours that we
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: did together on Friday down there from Jimmy's. I end
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: up spending the entire day and evening down there, So
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I made I did the whole thing. I did the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the match.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: I didn't go to the match, but did you watch
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: it in Pioneer Square?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I tried, but even that was overrun okay, and so
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I mean you couldn't even get You had to circle
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: around the block to try to come in on the side,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and even then I didn't know if the view was
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: going to be good. So we kind of cut our
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: losses and headed back and watched it at Jimmy's. But
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that was packed two. I turned around at one point
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: because my back was to the entire bar. Turn my
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: back at one point and you're like, oh, well, I'll
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: pee and when the match is over, yeah, because it
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: was like shoulder to shoulder. There was no room for anything.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And the reactions to the two goals, including the own goal,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: was was incredible. And I've just decided from now on,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: anytime anybody screws something up, I'm just gonna say you
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: burgessed that. You totally burgess that yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm going to do. That own goal. That
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: was the klutziest soccer play I think I've ever seen.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: All I heard about was those big tall, six foot
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: four inch Ausy defensemen that uh bring a different dynamic.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: A yeah they do.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah they they they're klutzes and one of them will
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: trip over himself and knock the ball in and do
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: our goals. So yeah, he totally burgessed it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: I didn't know the different dynamic was that they would
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: score for us, but hey.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks, yeah. Yeah, I was pouring my coffee this morning,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: spilled some on the counter. Totally burgess. Yeah, yeah, totally
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: burgess the moment. So yeah, my father, he's on his
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: third marriage, totally burgess the first time.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Poor guys.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: See what I'm doing here, poor woman, See what I'm
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: trying to establish? Yeah, I am.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's going to catch on
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: to the American vernacular.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: It's already catching on to me.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Argentina and France will play today. The US won't play
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: again until Thursday. They've already punched their ticket into the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: round of sixteen because they've won the group, but might
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: as well go for the suite they'll take on Turkey
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. I think they pronounced a little differently now.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: They certainly spell it differently now, But it's been Turkey
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: all of our lives. So I'm just gonna go with
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the close enough. NBA Draft is tomorrow.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: We are on NBA Draft Eve. A lot of interesting elements.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: They're talking about this being one of the most loaded
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: NBA drafts in a while, at least ten years, maybe more,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and so that's going to be exciting enough. But we
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: also have a lot of these outstanding trade possibilities that
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: could go down between now and tomorrow. The expectation is
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: that Jannis Atatkompo will be traded today at some point.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Doesn't really make sense to trade him after the draft,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: so Milwaukee looks like they're going to move him, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the rumors suggest it's either Miami or Boston, with Boston
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: being a serious front runner at this point. Brian Winhorse
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: reporting earlier today that Boston willing to include Jalen Brown
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in that trade, So we'll talk about that a little
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: bit later on, And of course Milwaukee wouldn't keep Jalen Brown.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: The rumor is that he would be going to Portland
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: after that, which here in Seattle we won an expansion franchise.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: But we also understand that perhaps Portland might move here.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: That's a possibility, might be a small possibility. But all
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: of a sudden, I'm starting to drive in here to
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: work behind all my red lights, thinking to myself, it
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: wouldn't be so bad rooting for Jalen Brown in a
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Sonics uniform right out of the chute.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: That's not so bad, all right, So Storm, we'll host
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Dallas tonight at seven o'clock. The Kraken made huge moves yesterday,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to bury it down into the headlines,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: but we have a lot prepared today for Kracking conversation.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Ashley and I will certainly talk about the re signing
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of McMahon and then the trade for Samuskevitch from Florida.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: So those are the two big moves yesterday with.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The Krack and giving up their first round pick for
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the twenty three year old former first rounder of the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Florida Panthers who were trying to clear space themselves to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: bring in Brady Kachuck to team with his brother Matthew.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: And a big trade that went down yesterday as well.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: So We've got a lot of crack and stuff to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: talk about. They said it was going to be a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: rather impactful offseason. Well we got a taste of that yesterday.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Everett's gonna join us evert fits you at eight o'clock. Also,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the man that pulled the trigger on both the moves,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: General manager Jason Bottrel, will join us today at nine
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to thirty. Seahawks one series is going to continue today
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: at seven thirty. Today. We will also have our Seahawks
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: one Series recap today at eight forty five. The Mariners
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: defeated the Red Sox, salvage the game from that three
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: game ugly series at home against the Red Sox over
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the weekend, so they get back over at five hundred.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: They're still a first place team, but man, another weekend
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of angry ass Mariner fans all weekend long and social media.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Ryan Heally will join us today at nine o'clock to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: discuss the piggyback, whether.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Or not we're going to be losing dom can Zone
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: for a while.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Who probably is our best and hottest hitter right now,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and yet he left the game yesterday with a hamstring.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: He says it's fine. Didn't look fine.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: It did not look fine, So I'm not expecting good
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: news on that front today. I'm expecting at least a
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: ten day trip on the IL. But we'll find out
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: later on today. Coming up, next, Mariner's Morning After comes
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: your way. It's our daily Mariners postgame show. So that's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: why I saved it for last.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: In the headlines, because I knew we were going to
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: dive in deep.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Ali has a step on Charicatti Ballagan to the poeline,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: ball again into the middle dead.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: It's the United States once again on the borderly Riccardo
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Peppy was in?
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Was it perhaps last off the defender?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Who cares?
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: It's one Milius Robinson issing it back? Sargenial desk blocks
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: still in.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Might be two is too or maybe not?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: The flag comes up for offside video Looking at it now,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: here's the decision off to fetch your review.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: The ghost scar was not an offside quosition and the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: building shakes in Seattle.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I didn't understand why that wasn't offside.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Hey, I just cheered when they said it wasn't. He
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: also the way he said it, I was like, couldn't
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: have made that more confusing after official review the goal
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: scorer wasn't in the off sides we can just say
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: it's not offside goal.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally burgessed that call. Totally burgess it. Good morning
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to you and welcome to our seven o'clock hour. It's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powin Ashley Ryan with you. What a day was Friday?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Man and Seattle show out on Friday. Those highlights from
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: our very broadcast they heard on our very airwaves as
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we covered the game, carried the game, didn't really cover it,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: carried the game here on Sports Radio ninety three point
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: three kJ RFM. A two nil shutout of Australia. I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: was just it was just wonderful, like how well Seattle
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is being received for all of this, how well it
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: all went down on Friday, how well Aussie's and Americans
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: got along together. There was just like such a respect
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: for one another. I mean, it was just a feel
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: good kind of day on Friday. And then to come
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: away here on our soil with a two nil shutout
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of Australia and to win the group in essence on
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Friday night. Actually you didn't win the group until later
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: on in the evening, but just a terrific experience and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: glad I got to be a little bit of a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: part of it. On Friday, welcome into our number two.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at your headlines. They're brought to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you by Frost Brewed Corps. Light World Cup, of course,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: continues today, and you're gonna have two of the biggest
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: teams in the entire world. Argentina and MESSI will be
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: playing tonight. France and Imbape will be playing tonight. Meanwhile,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the US won't return to the pitch until Thursday. They'll
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: be in Los Angeles taking on Turkey or turkey a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: which I guess they've changed the spelling and the pronunciation after.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Years of textbook reading.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: They've just decided, you know what, we don't want to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: be associated after all with the birds.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: You guys eat it at Thanksgiving and.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: I could understand that unless you're gonna call them like
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: turkey and stuffing, because nobody just wants turkey.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: That's the problem.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, I have no I'm gonna look into this. Okay,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: if there is like a state within Turkey that is
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: called stuffing, they'd be like, hey, we spell with a pH,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it's stuffing.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: And I'd be like, that's all right, put it on
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: my plate.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I want to look into this. If there is one,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be just blown away. If there isn't one,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: there should there should be other headlines for you. Wyndham
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Clark the Hotel takes his second US Open yesterday. He
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: held on on day number four to win it by
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a stroke over Sam Byrn. Some good theater there. NBA
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Draft is going to take place tomorrow. This is one
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: of the most anticipated drafts and quite some time we
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: still don't know who the Wizards are going to take
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: with the number one overall selection. It's either going to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: be Darren Peterson out of Kansas or aj Debonsa out
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of Byu, or so it seems. But between now and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night, we are expecting to see a couple of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: major blockbuster trades go down, including one involving Yannis.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Ante Tecumpo, who, according.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: To Brian Winhorse today could be adding to the Boston
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Celtics as the Celtics are all in trying to get
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yannis and may have reached their limits with Jaden Brown.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Jaden Brown, they said, according to Windhorst, will trade Jaden
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Brown Jalen Brown in order to get Yannis. So, man,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you put that into a trade package. I mean, I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: can't imagine you'd have to give much more than Brown
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to get Yannis.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't think so.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it looks like that's the front runner
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: right now, the Boston Celtics getting Jannis and adding him
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to the Jason Tatum picture.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: They're in Massachusetts.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Also storm hosting Dallas tonight at seven o'clock. Kraken made
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: two big moves yesterday. They re signed Bobby McMahon. They
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: extended him six years, thirty four and a half million
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: dollars for the guy that scored ten goals in just
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: eighteen games at the tail end of last season for
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the Kraken also pulled off a trade traded at first
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: rounder this year a second rounder next year for twenty
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: three year old Mackie Samuskevitch from the Florida Panthers, who
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: made the trade in order to clear some space to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: bring in the other Kachuck. So, yes, Matthew and Brady
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Kachuck not just teammates on Team USA, now teammates with the.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Florida Panthers as well.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: In a blockbuster there yesterday from the NHL, we have
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: our Seahawks one series. It's gonna continue a little bit
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: later on this hour, and of course at eight forty
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: five our Seahawks one series recap, and the Mariners won
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: three to one over the Red Sox, salvaging a game
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: in the series against the Boston Red Sox. Ryan Heally's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: gonna join us at nine o'clock today to talk about
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of juicy topics. I'm going to get into
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a few of them here in a little bit as well.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I'll just tell you Logan Gilbert was terrific, got the win,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Andre's Munos terrific, got the save. But the best player
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of the day was Dom Canzone a home run, maybe
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the best defensive plays made of his entire career. And
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: then he leaves with another injury. So we have another
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: injury that we're dealing with. Looks like a hammy and hammys.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can just say I'll be
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: fine after that. I don't think he's gonna be fine.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be We're gonna find out later
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: today that were without Dom can Zone for a little while.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: So just rough.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: I don't like to hear that we're on a rough stretch. Yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: we are yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: When it comes to injuries and yet part of the game,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and so here they sit a game over five hundred.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: But they really did not play well over the weekend.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: And they really, I mean, the kryptonite has been revealed.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I think even Aaron used the word kryptonite. We were
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: using it first. But they just can't hit left handers.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: And even though we've got a few different topics that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I want to rifle through here, including the piggyback, which
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: we'll get to in a moment, I think that this
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: conversation over the weekend starts with the left handers. I mean,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: teams are just the Red Sox didn't do it. Suarez
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: is their best pitcher. Early and totally are both two
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: young pitchers who are very talented. They have a lot
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of left handed starters, but they certainly if they could
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: choose to stack them up against a team, it would
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: be against the Mariners.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: We are just bad.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: We are dead last and batting average against left handed
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: pitching at two to oh eight DFL, dead freaking last.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: We have a two ninety two on base percentage actually
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth out of thirty teams, and on base so
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: we'll get a walk every.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Once in a while, you better believe.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: It slogging DFL, dead freaking last three twenty six and
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: all of Major League Baseball ops six eighteen DFL.
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: I don't like the trend.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I'm here here dead freaking last, and I know they're
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: gonna give it a little while longer. I've you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it's probably too early for trades. We're not seeing the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: trade deadline moves. I love the month of June because
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: it is trade deadline, Like trade deadline season is here,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and I feel like in June we're freed to kind
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: of speculate as to what could happen between now and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Actually it's August second this year, that's when the trade
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: deadline is. Usually it's July thirty first, and so we've
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: got a little bit of time. But we're already getting
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the conversation started, and there's no question that this is
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: going to have to be addressed. I do believe that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Jerry's going to give this a little bit more time,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: much to the chagrin of Mariner fans who want Rob
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Refschneiner run out on a rail. But I do believe
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they're going to give him a little bit more time.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And don't I don't really know what to tell people.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: This continues to backfire. But I don't want my front
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: office to stop making moves like this. I don't want
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: my front office just to not look at a player,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a veteran player on the cheap who dominates left handed
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: pitching for the last five years and is coming off
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a dominant season, and that Boston Red Sox fans are
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: weeping because Rob Refsnyders is leaving. You know, these these maneuvers,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: even going back to Colton Wong. Colton Wong was coming
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: off of three and a half war season, which is
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: terrific for a second baseman. I don't know what it is.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I don't There's nothing that I can come up with
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to explain it. I don't think they were dumb moves.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was a dumb move to bring
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: in Mitch Garver as your DH. And certainly, even if
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: he can't hit right, he's consistently enough he's going to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: crush lefties because he was supposed hit both if you remember.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, I don't remember, back when he was to hit.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was suppose hit both.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: And yet Pollock was supposed to be a lefty killer,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: was coming off a season where he was killing lefties.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Raf Snyder was supposed to. It just doesn't work out.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there's a criticism against the Mariners, they're
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: obviously not good at reading the future.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: When a veteran player who brings.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: An interesting skill set to the table is going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: hit a wall. Or maybe it has something to do
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: with the backdrop, I don't know, but it is just
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a string of every time they bring in like a
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: guy at the tail end of his career but is
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: still showing he's a productive player, it does not work out,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: and it crashes and burns. I mean, Colton Wong was
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the worst player in baseball.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: That year he was here.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember that he was the worst, And I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: mean I spent an entire offseason like, oh, I like
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that move was the worst. And then Pollock was terrible?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Why how? And then he by the way he went
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: on to another team was no better. He literally just
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: hit the wall. Both of those guys, they just hit
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the wall of their career and no one really saw
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: that coming. But it's happening time after time after time,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and now it looks like ref Sniders hit the wall.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like he hits with any confidence at all
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: at the plate, and he certainly doesn't bring enough to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the table and other areas that you can just to
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: fire a roster spot for him. He has to hit
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: left handers. That's why he's here. And Justin and Jerry
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: are gonna give it a little while longer. But yeah, Ashley, Yeah,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: we're getting to the tipping point. We're getting to the
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: point where we can't have him in the lineup. And
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: for God's sake, whoever is making out the lineup, Rob
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Refsnyder hits ninth until he proves otherwise.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: I think that's fair.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: This idea of hitting him first or fourth or fifth,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You are out of your living minds.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because isn't the point of the person who's leading
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: off to get on base and then, I don't know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: spark something.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Well, Also, you're dealing with somebody that obviously is not
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: playing with any level of confidence. You don't instill confidence
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: in a person without confidence by putting him in a
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: more high leverage situation. Yeah, you think you're doing him
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a favor.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: We have faith in you.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Hit first first. No, you need to bury him down
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the lineup and then he can maybe get a little
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: confidence brewing down there at eight and ninth. Now he's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: going into the game like, oh my gosh, they made
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: me the table setter. Oh my gosh, if I don't
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: get on base I failed. And then and then two
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: days later, oh I'm eeting fourth What I got to
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: drive in? Runs like it's baffling why that decision is
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: being made, And I really don't know. I will tell
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you this, like Dan, A lot of people think Jerry
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and Justin are Jerry specifically is making all the decisions.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: That's not true.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I have had Jerry and Justin both tell me off
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the air on the air that Dan Wilson makes the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: lineup and Dan Wilson makes the decisions in game. There's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: no phone that we reached. I don't text him during
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the game, none of that. Now, I do believe that
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: they all meet every single game and talk about strategy,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and maybe they do as a collective piece together the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: lineup and share their thoughts and so on and so forth.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: But whoever is making that final decision, I'm just gonna
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: put it on Dan. If you're walking out of that
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: room and by the time you get down to the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: dugout and grab your pen and you've convinced yourself. It's
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: a good idea to lead off Rob Reschneider.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: Right now, shove that pen somewhere.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe just stop and give me a call.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, on your way from the you know, from
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: upstairs to your pen.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: They just shoot me a text.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: That'd be nice.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, and I understand with ref Schneider. Yeah, as
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: you said, the point he's here, he's supposed to hit lefties.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Well he's not doing that.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: And so I got angry the other day when I
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: saw that the dfade Master Bony and I'm like, and
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: then he was playing well, yeah exactly. And then I
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: think that was the night they had ref Schneider leading off,
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: and I was like, no, you are not doing this.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the Master Boney. I mean, they were
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: trying to bring in a right handed hitter because they
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: knew they were going to face three lefties this weekend,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: and so that was the feeling behind that. But it's
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: just I don't know what it is, but they cannot
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: find right handed hitters to fulfill what their scouting reports suggests.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: That is their expertise, their speciality, yep, And every time
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: that they get here they don't. They don't not only
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: don't live up to it, they just crash and they burn.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: So they're going to do it for a little while longer.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: But it's becoming more and more obvious every day as
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: we get closer to the trading deadline that they are
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: running out of time on a couple of these experiments
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: and that the number one priority will be and every
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: day hits lefties and righties Byron Buxton type. I know
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: he's saying he won't. I'm just saying a Byron Buxton type.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Just I'm proven veteran corner outfielder that can play every day.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: That'd be great.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: That's what has got to be the priority at this
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: stage as we close in on the trading dead and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: we're still a long way away from it. Let's talk
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: about the piggyback. Obviously we had a piggy backslide.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: We did. It was a rough day for the.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Piggyback, yes, we and we've had plenty of piggyback lash,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it took me piggy aback did it a
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: little bit? I was taking I was taking Piggy a
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: back a little bit as well. I mean, there really
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: is it, and that is the scenario for anybody that's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: defended the Piggyback like Ashley and I have, that's the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: one you fear. Yep, it's not that. I mean Castillo
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: has pitched better. His era has dropped a full run
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: since the Piggyback started, so he certainly pitched better. Problem
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: is that you keep teaming him with Miller, who's our
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: best guy, right right, And and I don't think Bryce
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Miller's too happy with the fact that I've already done
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: this three times and now you're saying we're all going
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to do it and you're star with me and Luis again. Really,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: so to me, there are again. I'm not going to
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: paddle off of this. I went pretty strong on this
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: last week. There has been more good. There still is
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: even after Saturday. There's been more good from the Piggyback
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: than there has been bad from the Piggyback. Now go
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: back to my original comments about all of this. Too
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: many pitchers for too few slots. I mean, I said
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: from the beginning, Luis Castillo I think would be an
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: effective reliever as long as you can convince him correct
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that that's a role that could be beneficial to the team.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: So I do.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Believe that when the experiment is over. That's going to
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: be the end result of all of this, that Luis
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Castillo is going to be out of the bullpen. Now,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: it looks like we're gonna have to do this for
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: a couple more weeks because they've already sworn themselves to
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: this idea that we're going to piggyback everybody through the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: rotation at some point over the next three spins. So
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: they're going to do it a couple more times, it
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: looks like. But I do believe the end result of
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: this experiment will be that Luis Castill's in the bullpen,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: we go back to a five man rotation, and that
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Bryce Miller is going to be our best pitcher.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I don't ever want to see him piggyback again. That
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: is already less and number one from this experiment. Bryce
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: does not need this.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: Well, And to be fair, we had said that we
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: didn't want to see Bryce Miller and Luise piggybacking last week.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Oh for sure, though we're.
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: Done with it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it needed to be with someone else, and we
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: both wanted the piggyback back, but with other pitchers involved,
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: not Bryce Miller for sure.
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: And this is exactly why, Yeah.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: For sure, yes, but.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: There are, like I said before, there were merits to it.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Castillo has pitched better, Miller's been fantastic, whether he's been
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: taken out of games or not. Now, this is where
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: it does hurt, because here's Bryce and he's pitching well,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and he's got his pitch count in great position, and
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: everybody knows that he should stay in the game.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: And yet you've already committed to Castillo.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Coming in in the sixth, and he was fine in
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the sixth on Friday, he got hammered in the seventh.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, those were some of.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: The hardest hit balls I've seen all season long. He
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: was fooling no One in that game last night. And
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: so that really is the nightmare, even more so than
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the moon yos can't close out with the traffic that
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: he inherited back in Piggyback one. Even more so than that,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: it is the starting pitcher looks fine, but you're really
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: going to take him out because you've committed to this
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: theory of yours. So yeah, it was it was sort
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: of a.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: Well that didn't work.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Now, you don't have to talk an anti Piggyback person
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: into just taking one game that did blow up in
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: their face and then unleashing hell throughout an entire weekend. Yeah,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: all right, it didn't work out on Friday. I'll be
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the first to admit it. I still think there's been
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: more good that's come from it. And frankly, Dan Wilson's
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: biggest issue is managing a bullpen. Hey, here's a guy
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: that ran out of pitchers in the middle of a
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: series against the Baltimore Orioles. And it's because for some reason,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: we only pitch our four top guys in ideal circumstances.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Gabe Spier pitched yesterday. That was his second appearance in
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: twelve days. He went eleven days, a third of an inning.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: He and he's been our best guy. Jose Ferrer two
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: innings pitched in the last twelve days. How are you
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: running out of relievers? This is why, because you keep
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: saving every your four best guys for ideal situations. We're
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: down two hoppy time.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this time, this.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Game's over, so we're not. You can't lengthen the bullpen
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: because because if you're gonna use all those guys in
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: a cluster, then you're gonna burn them out. If you're
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: having a series of victories as opposed to if you
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: space them out a little bit better, then you keep
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: everyone a little bit fresher. I don't want to hear. Oh, gosh, boy,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Okabe can't pitch Gabe and Gabe again today and Bizardo
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: they're out.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, guys, sorry, we used Gabe six days ago, we
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: can't use them today.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Well, even I don't even want to hear that you
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: can't use them back to back days.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: I don't want to hear that anymore.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, game Spier was giving the month off
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: coming off an injury. So Dan Wilson needs the aid
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: of the piggyback right now because of his bullpen usage.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: But everybody was so well rested on Friday that it
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: was another thing to be angry about, Like, we don't
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: need the piggyback on Friday. We have two guys that
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: haven't pitched in two weeks, and so it was another
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: example of look, something that we've never seen done before.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: It is an experiment.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Why are we experimenting with something like this in the
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: middle of the season. Frankly, they want to keep Luis
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Castillo stretched out. That's why they wanted to do it
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: in case they need him to be a starting pitcher again.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: But it's feeling very much like we're going to conduct
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: this experiment.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: We got two more trials, and to the.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: End of it, it's going to be the exact same
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: result is that probably should have been at the beginning
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: of the experiment, and that is that Luis Castillo is
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: coming out of the bullpen because we've got five starting
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: pitchers better than him. Yeah, and Kate Anderson is probably
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: also better than him. So yeah, we ran through it.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it was an interesting idea. I still think
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: more so it's come of it then bad, but I
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: do I will side with the anti piggyback.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: People from this standpoint. I think we all felt.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Just pick the best guys, the five best guys in
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: the rotation, and the sixth guy, sorry, you're gonna work
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: out of the bullpen unless there's an injury. Yes, And
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: so that's where I think we're going to end up
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: after all of this as well, the exact same thing
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: we were thinking at the beginning. Luis Castillo's now one
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of our top five starting pitchers and he's.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Got to go to the bullpen.
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: Just going to take us along lot way long time
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: to get there.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Seahawks One Series is coming your way next
• 44:36

• 45:45
  Speaker 9: Got my degree in journalism from the esteem to Washington
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: State University, Go cooks and television, small market sports director
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: television for five six years, and then just you know,
• 45:58
  Speaker 9: real life got out, had to get jobs for a while.
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: But the Internet being what it is and as it
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: started to evolve, started writing for NFL websites again right
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: around the time the Seahawks went to Super Bowl forty
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: and then started podcasting in twenty eighteen. Launched this show
• 46:15
  Speaker 9: in twenty twenty three, and it's grown to the point
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: I can do this full time and I'm here.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: With you today.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: That's awesome. That's awesome.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Viens is with us the Seahawks Forever podcast. You
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: can follow him at Seahawks Forever and he's here to
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: participate in our Seahawks one series. So what player did
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: you choose to break down for us here today?
• 46:34
  Speaker 9: So I'm a big sucker for the underrated player, the
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: guy that just doesn't quite get the attention that he deserves.
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: And for me, that's Julian Love.
• 46:43
  Speaker 9: When I'm out there, when live streams, I'm talking to
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: the fan base, I'm debating people on Twitter, and this
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: really is a statement to the depth and the total
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: quality and the talent and young talent all throughout this roster.
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: I don't think he gets talked about enough.
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: He's certainly not one of the first guys that fans
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: bring up, and.
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: I think that's a mistake.
• 47:02
  Speaker 9: Some of that might be that he missed some games
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: last year and that we saw guys like Tyle Cotta
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: step up and play well in his absence. But when
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: he was on the field, he was top ten in
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: production and performance. Doesn't matter what metrics you prefer.
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: He was a top ten safety.
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: But you're getting him for top twenty money at the moment,
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: and I'm not so sure people are talking about him
• 47:24
  Speaker 9: enough when it comes to a year from now when
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: we talk about contract extensions and guys you're going to
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: want to stick around beyond their current deals.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think when most of the time he
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: comes up, because he's surrounded by so many like freakish
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: athletes like Emon warr and Witherspoon and others who make
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the spectacular plays were usually attached to him. The intangibles,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: the intangibles that he brings to the table. But he's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and yes, he does bring them to the table. But
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: he's so much more than that. What is it about
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: his game that you admire most.
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: I think it's this stuff from the neck up. Now
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: you touched on it there. I just really struck by
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: that interview that Kirk Cousins did a couple of months ago.
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: I'm sure you've seen it where he talks about just
• 48:05
  Speaker 9: how complex Mike McDonald's coverage schemes are, and in particular,
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: how late in the play.
• 48:12
  Speaker 10: It reveals or they reveal.
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: Themselves, and that you know sometimes after the snap that
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: they rotate into the actual coverage they're playing, not the
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: one that they showed three snap.
• 48:22
  Speaker 10: And and I think he's he's front and center.
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: And at the forefront of that and being able to
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: make those calls, communicate what he's seeing to the other guys,
• 48:30
  Speaker 9: and uh, and then making plays. You know, we saw
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: that in the super Bowl. We saw the miked up
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: stuff and how smart he was. He knew that was
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: going to come to him and certainly it did. And
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: that was one of one of my favorite moments of
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: that game. And uh, and then it's he's one of
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: the glue guys. You know, he really really is on
• 48:46
  Speaker 9: this on this team. Exhibits everything they want in a
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: in a player culture wise, and I'm really excited to
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: see him take Bud Clark under his wing and see
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: if he can develop him.
• 48:58
  Speaker 10: That's that's gonna be a fun duo, i think. Movie forward.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Dan viens is with US Seahawks Forever podcast, part of
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: our Seahawks One series. Today one outstanding analyst bringing down
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: one key Seahawk player for one entire interview, and we
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: are talking Julian Love today. And he only played eight games,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: which by football standards, as you know, that's he probably
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: played four or five healthy, you know, and gut it
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: out four or five games a year ago. So we
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: kind of forget about that. How much this defense came
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: together under Mike McDonald, and yet Julian Love, the glue,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: as you put it, was only there for half the season,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: and who knows how many games he actually played healthy.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: So what kind of step forward do you expect this
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: defense to make, hopefully with a Julian Love playing all
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: seventeen games this year?
• 49:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and when guys get to be his age is
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: twenty eight years old now, it's and he's been durable, right,
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: You didn't miss any games in New York. He played
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: all seventeen games his first two years in even though
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: he looked healthy when he came back, and over the
• 50:03
  Speaker 9: last final or final five weeks in the season, he
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: was the top graded safety by PFF in the NFL,
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: So we certainly looked healthy.
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: But I always pause.
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: You always wonder, you know, with those soft tissue injuries,
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: especially if he can get out there and play seventeen
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: games again. But I think we've had a lot of
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: discussions the last couple of weeks with fans who said,
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: you know, if you set aside the fact that we
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: just won the Super Bowl, and that may seem like
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: a crazy statement, but bear with me here for a moment.
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: None of us really expected it to happen. Last year
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: was a year early. I think most of us agree
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: on that it's the year three in a Mike McDonald defense.
• 50:37
  Speaker 9: We've never gotten to see as good as that Baltimore
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: Ravens defense was.
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: And we saw the leap from year one to year
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: two there. Well, then he comes here.
• 50:46
  Speaker 9: We saw the leap from year one to year two
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: here as guys really really absorbed that system and understand it,
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: and now all the continuity. I think it's seven players
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: who played four hundred snaps last year on this defense.
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: You add some really really intriguing secondary players to that
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: defense in this year's draft class.
• 51:05
  Speaker 10: What kind of leap are we looking at now?
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: I mean McDonald even did late last season there were
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: some times that he had to kind of pull back
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: on the playbook where he was he was giving these
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: guys too much, especially on a short week. I remember
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: him talking about that relative to the Week sixteen game
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: against the Rams. So what's that going to look like
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: now in year three with all that continuity, all that leadership,
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: and then an infusion now of Bud Clark, Julie Neil,
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: maybe even some of those seventh round guys maybe step
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: forward for Tayo Kotta, maybe a Neami Pritchett emerging.
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: I'm really excited to see what it looks like in
• 51:39
  Speaker 10: year three.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, I've never been like an actual
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: fan of a team. I've always whatever market I was in,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I was always the guy that kind of was treated
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: it like I'm not the fan guy. Well, you know,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: you get to Seattle, it gets into your blood and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: suddenly I'm treating it like a fan. So now I'm
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: kind of caught in between like I now root for
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: them heavily, and yet I still want to keep my
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: keen eye. I want to be unbiased when I talk
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: about this team and I'm hearing you describe Mike McDonald's defense,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people across the country
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Dan that feel, well, they'll take a step back in
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: these areas next year. And I don't think it's biased
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: when I say, I agree with you.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: This is what the rest of.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: The National Football League doesn't understand. The Seahawks are going
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: to be better this season. The defense is going to
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: be better this season. And I think that I speak
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: totally unbiased about it, and for a lot of the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: reasons that you suggested. So what do we are we
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: just feeding ourselves a line of bowl here or do
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: you think that we got our finger on this.
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: I'd like to think.
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: As I get older, I get a little wiser, and
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: I try to keep myself in chat when it comes
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: to my unbridled optimism, and I try and balance it,
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: you know, I've always prided myself on trying to be
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: as object active as I can, uh, you know, and
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: balance it with the passion I think when it's it's hard,
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: it's hard to argue against the defense taking another step
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: because what they were able to achieve last year and
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: and it wasn't perfect. Certainly we got to solve that
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: Rams offense, you know, we gotta, we have to see
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: a step forward there. But you look at it wasn't
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: just Leonard Williams. It wasn't just DeMarcus Lawrence. It wasn't
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: just the older guys. It was Byron Murphy in his
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: second year taking a step forward.
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: It was Drake.
• 53:29
  Speaker 10: Thomas coming into his own.
• 53:33
  Speaker 9: Well, now you know we've seen especially up front, right,
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: those defensive guys, those linemen, it takes them a while
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: to mature. And I expect Bryant or this year we
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: get to see a full season of Riley Mills at
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: it to the mix, right, it's it's we we even
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: get to see I'm I'm a huge Drake Thomas stan
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: always have been.
• 53:53
  Speaker 10: But we didn't get to really see Tyree.
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: Knight last year because of some of the health issues
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: see had early in the season.
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: Maybe he figures into that mix. And then I mentioned
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: the young guys.
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: I think I do think there's another level that this
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: defense can achieve.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: And we talk about love like because he's not one
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: of the young guy. He's only twenty eight. He's still
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: got a lot of football left in him, don't you think.
• 54:16
  Speaker 10: Absolutely?
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And that's why I mean, I ran some comps
• 54:19
  Speaker 9: this morning and I'm going to do an episode on
• 54:21
  Speaker 9: him today. You inspired me, and I think, like I said,
• 54:26
  Speaker 9: I don't think people are are talking enough about a
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: third contract for him because I think a year from
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: now Seahawks are going to want to get that done.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Excellent stuff. Dan, I'm glad we at John. We'll do
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: this again soon, if that's all right with you.
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: Absolutely Now you got my number, I promise I'll be

• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Is it okay?
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: So I've not been?
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, to me, it kind of feels like the
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Truman Show. Is it just a bunch of actors there
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: and then you show up and then you visit your person,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: and then everyone around you is just uh cast ha
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: been casted for your weekend? Is that how it works?
• 57:07
  Speaker 11: You know what?
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: It feels that way? And I took I took a
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: town tour. I'm not even kidding. I took a town
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: tour the other day, and I met the CEO, this
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: guy that started this town, and he actually invented this
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: town in the in the mind of what we all
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: grew up with, right riding our bikes in the streets
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: and everyone playing with each other and all the houses
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: having a communal space. I mean, it does feel like Pleasantville.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: You're here, you come up one oh, I think it's
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: one o nine, You come around the curb, and it
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: just like I'm waiting for the harps and the pianos
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: to start playing, because it is. It is a really
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: magical place. It's it's it's awesome. We we came here
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: last year. We fell in love with it. But yeah,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: it's a Truman show. Everyone's so kind and friendly. You're
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: sitting on your front porch and hey, how's it going?
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Like hey, barb like hi, you know it feels like that,
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: so it really does. I've made a couple of friends already,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: and my wife's like, of course.
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: You did, well, of course he did. It's ever Fitz.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Of course he makes friends wherever he goes. He gives
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: great hugss.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: In the pool and oh yeah, it's Dave. He lives
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: over in Pol's Bow. He's got an office downtown. His
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: wife works a dub medical so she comes in a
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: couple of times a week. She's a really nice guy.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Were you made to feel like the world's greatest father?
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Because you know, if I'm honest, I think top two,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: top three. But I think that's a little exaggerative that
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: you would be rated number one in the entire world
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: as father. That seems like an aggressive approach. And yet
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: did you feel that way yesterday?
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: I'd say I'd say top ten dad for sure, in
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: the world. If you were to rank all.
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: The dads, I'm probably the top ten.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: No, honestly, yesterday was my perfect father's day. Everyone listening
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: is gonna laugh at me, But my son and I
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: flew a kite, both of our very first kites. I've
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: never flown a kite before thirty seven years old, and
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: I flew my first kite yesterday. So went to the beach,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: flew a kite, had a fire, made, some smores, grilled
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: some steaks, went to the pool. It was It was
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: actually a very mellow, chill, but awesome Father's Day. And yes,
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: I felt all the love from all the family. It
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: was great. It was really good.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: A kite has to be the most obsolete toy in
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: the entire world, and yet still there is something kind
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: of magical about flying a kite. Not even kind of
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: there's something magical about flying a kite.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I let all the string out and even I
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: was like, babe, babe, look how high it is. Look, no,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: it's so high. Like I was so excited that I
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: flew my first kite. I don't know the four year
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: old or the thirty seven year old, I don't know
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: who was happier. My brother in law was like, I'm
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: so happy that we got ever the kite because it
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: was for him, it was for my son, and then
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: it ended up being for me. It was great.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope, yeah, I hope six Seabrook actors didn't
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: shoot it down with a drone. So I'm glad you
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: had some kite time there with your son yesterday.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: Coming home. Oh yeah, it's coming.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Home evert fits your voice at the Cracking with us
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: right here on chucking back, and then all of a sudden,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: in the middle of your pleasant Father's day, flying your kite,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: your phone starts blowing up, and the Kracking are making
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: moves of all days for them to start this off season.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: We've been hearing about.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: So let's start with the first trade. What was your
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: reaction to acquiring Macky Samuskevitch from the Florida Panthers.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I think that trade actually is a very
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: good trade for Seattle because you really don't give up
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: a whole lot. I would say this is a medium
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: risk but a potentially higher reward trade. You're giving up
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: the twenty fifth overall pick to Florida, which Florida ended
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: up shipping out for Brady Kachuk yesterday. But I think
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: you know, unlike the NFL Draft, that twenty fifth pick,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: they're not coming in here next season looking to have
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: an immediate impact. That twenty fifth overall pick, you're still
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: three years away, two years away from having any type
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: of potential meaningful contribution from that player. And of course
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: the second round pick for next year as well, that's
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: to throw in. And you're getting back a twenty three
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: year old player who's got NHL experience, back to back
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: thirty point seasons, seventy seven seventy six games each of
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: the last two years, been a tremendous upside at twenty
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: three years old. So when we talk a lot about
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: wanting the kids to play here in Seattle, wanting those
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: prospects to play, you also need to add in younger
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: NHL caliber talent to help as well. So there is
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: a lot to be positive about sam Uskevitch, and he
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: was just a victim of opportunity, not enough opportunity. In Florida,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: you're the back to back Stanley Cup champions, You've made
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: the play offs four or five years in a row,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: and his role was diminished just because of everyone he
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: was playing behind. Now he gets to come to Seattle,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: he's going to be in a top six position, so
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: you're going to see him getting you know, a lot
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: of minutes, a lot of ships. He's going to get
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: some power play time. He's going to be put out
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: in those those situations. So for me, this trade is
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: exactly what the Seattle Kraken needed. They got younger, they
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: got NHL experience, and they got a player who's got
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: tremendous upside and has the potential I think to be
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: a twenty five goal fifty sixty point player consistently in
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: this league.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: His name rung a bell certainly with me when we
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: heard it, but I wouldn't say that anything particularly stood
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: out about Samuskevitch when I watched Crack and Panther games.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 5: However, few there've been the last couple of years.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: As someone that obviously is icelting and evaluating every single
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: play of the entire season, did anything from your recollection
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: leap out to you about Samuskevitch's game.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I've actually followed him. I remember him when he
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: was playing junior hockey in the USHL. He then went
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: to Michigan and was on a team with Matty Veneers
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: and in ann Arbor. So he he is a player
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: that he likes to shoot the puck a lot, like
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: Bobby McMahon. He's got that shot first mentality. But like
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: I said before, he wasn't put in a lot of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: situations to showcase that ability because of all the folks
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: he was playing behind in Florida. So now he comes here,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: he immediately gets slotted into your top six forward group.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: He's going to be playing some big minutes and you're
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: going to see that first that first hand. He loves
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: to shoot the puck. He wants to shoot the puck.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: He's got some speed, he's got some creativity as well.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: And the second I saw that email come through, I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: go back to a couple of conversations that we had
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: with Lane Lambert last season and he goes, I've been
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: telling these guys just I want them to shoot the
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: puck more. I want them to shoot the puck more. Well,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Bobby McMahon comes in. He gets ten goals, four assists
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: in eighteen games with the Kraken. He has a shot
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: first mentality. Now Mackie Samuskavich on that right side has
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: a shot first mentality. And like I said, he only
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: had twelve and thirteen goals each of the last two seasons,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: but now you put him in a top six role.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: I don't see why he couldn't get twenty goals this year.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: Twenty five goals this year. Because of the situations he's
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: going to be put in and because of the way
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: he likes to play.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both of those things struck me when I saw
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: those conversations that we had with you during the season.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Lambert frustrated that we're not aggressive enough putting the puck
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: near the net. Sometimes you just got to get the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: puck near the net. Ye could Eskate could hit a body,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: and so I thought of that yesterday. Evert Fitz, he's
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: with us talking about the cracking big moves yesterday, and
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: of course the even bigger move in my estimation, was
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: keeping the aforementioned Bobby McMahon, who did score ten goals
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: in eighteen games and does return. I'm a little surprised
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: that they got this done. It does speak though, to
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: obviously Bobby McMahon, even though he wasn't playing playoff hockey
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: down the stretch, he obviously enjoyed his time with the
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: organization last year, and I think that says a lot
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: about the organization.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: It does, It really does. He genuinely likes playing here
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: in Seattle. His girlfriend also loves it here. My wife
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: and I actually were out, got a coffee and ran
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: into both he and her at a coffee shop and
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: she was saying how much she loves Seattle, how much
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: she loves the environment here, and the other wives and girlfriends,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: and the teammates and the organization. So that rings a lot.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: That does say a lot about the organization. And also
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: I think for Bobby going from the media pressure cooker
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: that is Toronto to coming here to Seattle, the pressure's
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: off a little bit from a media perspective. He's from
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: Western Canada, so the geography is a little similar to
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: what he's used to. He's a little closer to home.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: So all of those things factored in. But now you
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: have a piece for the next six years that you
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: can build around, you can start adding to. And I
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: think guys like Bobby McMahon who came in here had
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: an immediate impact. And even though the team wasn't that
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: good on the ice in the last twenty games of
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: the season, you did have a guy who showed you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: his potential and showed you what this team potentially could
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: be with him. So I thought that was great. I
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: think they got him in a really good number at
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: six years five, seven five. I mean Mike Benton and
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: al and I we were talking quite a bit. You know,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: how much do you pay him as much as he
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: wants because you know, the free agency class this summer
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: is not very good. I mean, he definitely was the
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: top of the free agency class. There were no superstar
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: McDavid's or Kachuck's or you know whatever you have out there.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: So Bobby McMahon was the top end of that free
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: agency class and he showed why those last eighteen games.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: So the crack and were able to keep a player
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: that they like, that likes being here, and now you
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: can build around them.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Well realistically, I mean you mentioned it. Ten goals in
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: eighteen games. I mean that puts you on a pace
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: to be a forty five goal per season scorer.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: And there were only.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Five guys I think in the league last year that
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: scored forty five goals or more. So that seems like
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: that's a little out of reach. But where is the
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: expectation for McMahon in this offense? What is the high
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: end that he's capable of.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: Well, between Toronto and Seattle last year he had twenty
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: nine goals. He probably could have had a few more
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: with Seattle, So I mean I would say, I mean
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: if you're talking about a guy that's still trying to
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: you know, he's got some upside left. He's only thirty
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: years old, so he's not on the back nine of
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: his career yet. I would say thirty to thirty five goals.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: I mean that that I think is a very realistic expectation.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: He had twenty nine last year, so six more goals
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: in this offense. Very much like makiw Samuskevitch, he's going
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: to be able to He's going to be in that
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: top six role. He's going to be given a lot
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: of minutes, a lot of opportunity, a lot of situations
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: to generate and create offense. In Toronto, he's behind Kneelander,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: and he's behind Matthews and Nice and Tabaris, and he's
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: you know, intermittently in your top six, intermittently on that
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: second line. Well, here, he's going to be penciled in
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: minimally on your second line, but probably your top line
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: every single night. So he's going to get an opportunity
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: to generate a ton of offense. So I don't think
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: that thirty five goals is a bridge too far for him.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: I think that is where he can be. I think,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: you know, another thirty assist he can be a thirty
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: to thirty guy sixties five seventy points on a consistent basis.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think that that is out of the realm
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: of possibility for him.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: All Right, what else is going to happen this offse
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: are What are you hearing? What can you reveal? I'm
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: sure that there's some things you're hearing that you can't reveal,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: But what can you reveal to us this morning? I mean,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: we've been prepared for a really aggressive off season, and
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: it was certainly a very aggressive Sunday. So are you
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: anticipating a major shakeup here? A couple of other minor moves?
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: What is your expectation going forward?
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: You know, I think major it's kind of relative. When
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: you talk about the type of moves that need to
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: be made. You're never going to stop talking about getting
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: a a prolific score until that happens, You're never gonna
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: stop talking about it. And and that's and that's all fair.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: Depending on which national talking head that you listen to
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: around the NHL, the seventh overall pick in this Friday's
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: first round is still very much in play in terms
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: of being traded. Uh So there's a chip. There are
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: a few teams out there that don't have a top
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: ten pick, who don't have a top fifteen pick, that
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: would like to trade into that area, so the Kraken
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: could be, you know, potential suitors there. I think Seattle's
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: done a really good job of building up their farm
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: system and their prospect pool. The one area where the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: Kraken lack in that department, though, was on defense. And
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: there are a couple of pretty good, strong defensemen who
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: you know, you take them with the seventh overall pick
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: and then you could see them here in Seattle in
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: the next couple of years. But there isn't a lot
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: of super high and talent this year outside of that
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: top three, top five in the NHL drafts. So that's
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: why folks are saying, maybe Seattle trade that seventh overall
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: pick for a player that can help you today. I
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: don't think that there's going to be another major move,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: a jaw dropping move, if you will, outside of potentially
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: trading that seventh overall pick. But I do think we're
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: going to maybe see a couple of more moves like
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: the Samuskevitch move, another younger player a ton of potential
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: NHL experience has had some success and is looking for
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: that fresh start, that next opportunity to show what he
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: can do. With the Kraken free agency players that they're
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: going to have to have conversations with Jamie alexiak, Ellie Tolbinan,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: James Schwartz, all three of them need new contracts. But
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: it doesn't look like, you know, they're gonna get to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: free agency on July first, and we'll see what happens
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: after that. A couple of players on the team. I
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: heard Jared McCann Evince Dunn's name come up externally about
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: potential trade candidates. So there are definitely moves this team
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: can make, all in an effort to get better. I mean,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: this team has been kind of middling in the last
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: couple of years and you're trying to establish that direction.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: So I do think there's gonna be some of those
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: moves made, But I don't know if that massive, major
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: move is on the horizon for this team, outside of
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: maybe trading that seventh overall pick for someone in the
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: league that can help you today, you've got to.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Have a name though, at the top of your wish list.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: You're walking around c Brook, you know, wave into all
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: those actors making you feel like the best dad in
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: the world. And the whole time you're sitting there walking along,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: you're thinking to yourself, Houston Matthews, Man, Austin Matthews, how
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: could we get hosta. Somebody, Somebody's got to come to
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: your mind to just give me a little insight.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 5: What does effort fits you? What's on your wish well?
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, going back to the last trade deadline in March,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: the names that kept getting thrown around, Matthew NY's in Toronto,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: Robert Thomas in Saint Louis. A lot of those players
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: have no move clauses. We saw the captain of the
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: Ottawa Senators, Brady Kuchuck, traded to Florida to play with
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: his brother, Matthew Contruck. Dylan Larkin has asked for a
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: trade out of Detroit. I would have called you crazy
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: if if two months ago we were sitting here talking
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: about Brady Kuchuck leaving, the captain of the Senators leaving.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: Dylan Larkin, home grown from Detroit, went to Michigan plays
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: for the Red Wings. You're kidding me. You're outside of
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: your mind if you think that he's going to ask
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: for a trade. Well, now he wants out, So you know,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: obviously there are names out there that I would like.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to go back to the trade that
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: I've proposed a couple of times. Who says, no, I
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: think Jason boschrel packages a couple of seventh overall our
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: seventh round picks and maybe a low level prospect for
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Conor McDavid, who says, no, everyone needs everyone needs some
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: late round picks. You give them six sevens and then
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: a couple of prospects you know over in Europe that
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: maybe you don't foresee signing. And then you go to
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: to stand Bowman and in Edmonton and say, hey, we'll
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: take we'll take ninety seven offer hands out who said.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: It makes a lot of money. You're really he's really
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: keeping the organization down. But in all.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: Serious in all seriousness, though, I think I think those
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: names that we heard back at the deadline, I think
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: you're Robert Thomas's, You're you're Jason Robertson. Although that's going
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: to cost you heavily in terms of an offer sheet,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: those are names that I think are in play for
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of the league because everyone needs a player
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: like that, right So, But if if Brady Kachuck can
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: get traded, if Dylan Larkin can ask for a trade,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: who knows what's gonna happen in the next four days
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: and going in the draft, Dame, like I said, cracket
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: have the number seven overall pick. And from what from
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: what you hear around the hockey media sphere, they're open
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: to offers for that seventh overall pick.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 5: Thank you, sir, We appreciate it. Great to catch up
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 5: with you.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Glad you're having such a great off season. Glad you
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: had time, good time in Seabrook. Uh and we will

• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: the Chuck and Buck in the morning. All right, coming
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: up next ABC, so Them Sports Radio ninety three point
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: three kJ RFM. We'll have never not put it in
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: the rundown at the beginning of the show and then
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: realized I didn't put it in the rundown and then
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: change it.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: Why would that ever happen.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 7: Never happened, Yeah, exactly, Never happen again.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: That's for sure.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, good morning to you, Ashley, Ryan Chuck Powell
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: with you. It is time for the ABC's of the MS.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: That's our daily Mariner segment. We allowed the alphabet to
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: be our guide through a few different things. I mean,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: we've already talked about can Zone, We've already talked about
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert, but maybe the alphabet will not cooperate here
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: to bring them back up again. I guess maybe we'll
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: have to talk about that stuff with Ryan Healy coming
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: up at nine o'clock today. Because we left off of
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: the letter M and M is for Minnesota. I guess
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: that's just a wonderful place. This Byron Buxton really does
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: seem determined to stay there no matter what the record is,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: no matter what the situation is. And let's face it,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're still so far away from the trading
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: deadline that I mean, we're six weeks away still, so
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: a lot can change, and a lot's going to have
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: to change. I mean, things are so bunched up and
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: both leagues. Minnesota has been kind of categorized as a
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: for sure seller because of what they did at last
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: year's trading deadline, and yet they're only a game out
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: of the wild Card right now. I mean, there are
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: only four teams right now in the American League Tigers,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Red Sox, Royals, and Angels who are more than two
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: games out of the wild The Astros are still in it.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: They're only two games back in the Wildcard at this point.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: So right now there's just there's not a market. There's
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: just not gonna be for a little while. But it
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: is hard for me to believe that Byron Buckson would
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: be so dedicated to Minnesota. I think he's holding to
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: that because he wants it to be known to everyone
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: in the world. Apparently, is this a great guy that
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to turn anybody down? Okay, so I
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: got this no trade clause. This isn't about turning other
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: people down. So right now I'm just sending the MS
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: for message that I love MS for Minnesota, and so
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I think that's his approach because there are places I
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: have a feeling that the kid from the small town
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: in Georgia, who's spent his entire professional career in lovely,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: smallish Minneapolis, and for Minneapolis is probably like, I don't
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: want to be a Yankee. I don't want to be
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: a Red Sox. I don't want to be a Dodger.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: I kind of like this small town, smaller town thing
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: that I've got going on here, and I'm very content here.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: But if Seattle comes knocking, if the Atlanta Braves, which
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: is near his hometown, come and knocking, I do think
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: he would wave that.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: No trade clause.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if Seattle would be the right situation,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: but I do believe he would waive that no trade
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: clause for the right team and the right situation. And
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: I think Seattle would be a right situation for Byron
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: Buxton right now. So that's still where I'm hanging my
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: hat on. Who we should add that won't struggle again?
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Left handers?
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, I think that's a great plan. Yeah, And
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 6: we can guarantee he won't struggle because it's definitely not
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 6: a curse when they get here.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 5: Oh no, there, that's foolproof, it really is.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: If not if not him, hey ms for Marte, I
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: think we might hear could tell Marte's name start coming
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: back up again. Dodgers are only one game out of
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: the wildcard too.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 5: Right now. We just saw Wilson.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: Contraras over the weekend with Boston. Obviously things have not
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: gone the way they've wanted them to, but he's been
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: their best player. Don't know, I mean, he'd just be
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: our DH at this point. But just a few names,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: a few names that are kind of circling right now
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: the brain. Speaking of first base, n N is for Naylor.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happened to Josh Naylor at first base,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: but man, it is sloppy and at times, I mean,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: he still looks like that ballerino over there with his
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: nimble feet and us and over and you know, and
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: plays the game, plays defense with a little bit of
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: flair over to him. But flair comes after you are
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: making all of the routine plays, and it just kind
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: of feels to me like he's making trying to make
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: everything look sexier than it needs to be.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: This is first base. The job is to catch the
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: damn ball.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: The job is to flip the damn ball, and Logan
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Gilbert here he is, I'm gonna push it into the
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: seventh inning, which I'm not sure that was even the
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: right move by Dan. Let's push it into the seventh inning,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: because Dan, every starting pitcher has to go between ninety
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: and ninety five pitches.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 7: It is a requirement.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: So Logan's covering first base. I mean, he's all legs
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: and arms, he's six foot seven, he's you know, it's
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: like a Coca Pelly over there trying to run over
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: to first base. And Naylor gives maybe the worst toss
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: to a first to a pitcher I've ever seen. Yeah,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: it wasn't good, and then he ends up rolling in
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: a ball in the heap. We don't want. It's like
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: seeing Whimby fall down. You don't want the tall, skinny,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: gangly guys to be falling down and their parts are
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: going everywhere. And so for Naylor to have given such
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: a lazy, half assed toss to Logan Gilbert, I mean, honestly,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: you've just got to be better than that. You've got
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: to be better than that.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 7: I would agree with that.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: He has to be better, and we've seen him be better,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 6: which is why it's frustrating. And I know, coming in here,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: his defense wasn't the thing that was, you know, he
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: was that we were getting him for. It was a
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: bonus when his defense was the best that he's played
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: basically in his entire career. But how do you go
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: from playing the best defense of your entire career to this?
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: It looks to me like he's trying to be He's
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: trying to make first base look cool.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 7: Which is so opposite of how you what you would
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 7: expect from him.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Though, well, he does wear fancy shoes.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 7: I do love the shoe.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: He does wear a fancy belt, and I don't dislike
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: him any more. It's nothing like that. But I mean
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: enough of the trying to make the underhand throw to
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: second base around the run. Just straighten your back out
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: and make the right throw, step forward and throw it
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: where it needs to be thrown, and catch the ball
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: when it needs where it needs to be caught. Yeah,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: and I think he is caught in trying to make
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: first base.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 5: Look cooler than it actually is.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I hope not always for odd You know, there are
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of frustrating things about this season.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: For those of you that are angry.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: And didn't have expectations, I'm not really sure what your
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: problem is. It's a lot more frustrating for all of
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: us that actually see the promise of this team and
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: see how good they could be and just haven't been
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: good this season. That should be a lot more frustrating
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: than you angry people who think Jerry sucks and Dan
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: sucks and everybody sucks, and so, I mean, shouldn't this
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: be kind kind of on par for what you were
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: expecting this year?
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 5: That aside.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: Weirdos always for odd From this standpoint, it is just really,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, just kind of got to take a deep breath, Ashley,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: and we're thirty nine and thirty eight, far below my
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: expectations at this point of the year, and yet still
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: a first place team somehow, game and a half up
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: on the A's at this stage, and cal Rawley just
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: cannot get going. It just doesn't matter. He is hitting
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: one sixty four, great, he is not homer When is
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: his last home er? I mean, I know he was
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: on the injury list for thirty days, but to have
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: gone this season and to have to be sitting here
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: with a one actually it's one sixty two, sorry, one
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: sixty two and be stuck on seven home runs Hill,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, who would have ever ever dreamt that he
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: would have this kind of a season, and I thought
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: he was going to hit the ground running when he
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: came back.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: And I do think he's looked better.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: I thought at the beginning of the year he was
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: looking over matched at times, which just is mind blowing
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: for a guy that hit sixty home runs a season ago.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: But to me, his timing looks much better since he's
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: come back and he's hit some deep balls. It's like
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: he's hitting to the wall, but he's not hitting any
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: over the wall. And I'll tell you this, putting everything
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: else aside. If you tell me at the beginning of
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: the year that by June twenty second, col will be
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: hitting one sixty two with a five to sixty ops
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: and stuck on seven home runs for almost two months,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even have predicted thirty nine and thirty eight.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 5: Well, how many games under five hundred?
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: Are we?
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah? Miserable? Is our season as.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Good as the roster I feel is. And I think
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: it's the best one that they've put together since I
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: arrived here in Seattle. I still considering what cal Rawley
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: meant to that team a year ago. I mean minimum expectations.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're over two hundred batting average. You're over
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: a seven hundred ops at this stage, and yet he
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: just can't get it going. And it is just bold
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: faced odd to me.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 6: Well, and yeah, just sad too because that I think
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 6: everybody can agree that cal Rawly's very likable and we
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 6: want him to do well and we want to cheer
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: for him, and so it's just a you know, when
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: he's not doing well and you're just trying to will
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 6: him to be doing well because you want to be
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 6: able to cheer for him and you want that dumper
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: smile on second base looking back at his dugout like yeah,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 6: let's do it, boys, and you're not getting it.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 7: It makes me sad.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's got it pop, right, I would think so.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 5: But I knew and I do believe.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: It in my down to my core that it's gonna pop,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: and when it pops, it's gonna be spectacular. But you
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: just don't go from the sixty home run season and
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: how dare they give Aaron Judge the MVP to the
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: next season hitting one sixty two with a five sixty ops.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get it.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 5: Unreal, all right?
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Coming up next on the program, Seahawks one series in
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: the month of June, and so we are going to
• 1:26:31

• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: Great to have you to start the week here this week.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: Good to see you.

  Speaker 2: be here and talk to maritors baseball.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: No worries, I can go with the flow.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: How is Father's Day? Were you made to feel like
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: the number one father in the galaxy?
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: I felt special, I felt really special. Actually, I got
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: to show you one thing, Chuck. This was This has
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: been like the the joke of my trip so far.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: So I left late last night, so my kids are
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: really sad. And my daughter actually gave me one of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: her stuffies. She has two of these little bunny lovies.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: And as I was packing my bag, she'll get really
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: sad when if I leave, but she went and grabbed
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: one of these bunnies. It brought it to me and
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: she goes, Daddy, I want you to bring this with you,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: so keep you safe. So I've been taking pictures at
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: different locations, like the airport I was outside this morning.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: It's a different spots, and then I'll send them to
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: my wife and my my wife's response this morning was
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: your daughter is living for this bunny's journey right now.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 5: Keep it up. Maybe you are.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: I mean I always see people claim they're their number
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: one dad in the world with their you know, coffee
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: mug that they just got. There can only be one
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: of those. Maybe you are a candidate. I mean, bunny, Bunny, Bunny,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: this bunny episode is really gonna shoot your stock up.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna have probably twelve to fifteen pictures
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: by the end of it, I might put to get
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: a little collage and uh and share it with her.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: But my guess is this is going to become a
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: new thing anytime I travel.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, good, well, good, Yeah, don't let any of your
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: old teammates get a hold of it.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: See they got work. They got worse on me than
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: the bunny. Stuffy, I'll try to trust me there.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: No, I'm saying, don't let them get a hold of
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: the bunny.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. They'll like to have to do
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: shotgunning beer with it or something like that.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: They get the wrong I'll fight them for the bunny
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: with there.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Right, heallely is with us. All right, We got a
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: lot to discuss, and there are a lot of different
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: things that we get to get into, some of some
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: very frustrating, some you know, exciting. And then we have
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: dom canzone, which is where I want to start, kind
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: of a combination of the two. Let's start with just
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: how well he's been playing as of late, somebody that's
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: been trying to prove to this organization. You don't have
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: to sit me against left handers. And now because of
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: all of these injuries that they've suffered, here recently, they've
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: kind of had to force him into the lineup.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: They haven't really had.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: A choice, and he's kind of showing you I can
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: do it all offensively. What are you seeing out of
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Dom canzone that has seemingly taken him.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 5: To a whole new level as a baseball player.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: It just looks like he has so much conviction and
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: who he is as a hitter, and it takes time
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: at the major league level to get there. You go
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: through these ebbs and flows, and as fans, we get
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: to watch a player like young go through this where
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: there's really good series, maybe some ones where he gets dominated.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: But Dom's been around long enough where he understands what
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: pitchers are trying to do to him, especially the right
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: handed pitchers, like they're trying to beat him up in
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: the zone with velocity and then down in the way
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: and you'll get some wild swings from Don. But he's
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: getting better at using the opposite field and no better demonstrated.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: But then the left field home run he hit against
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: Toldy yesterday and that Sunday Mattinee his ability to use
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: the entire field. He actually hit a foul ball during
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: that weekend series as well, left on left that just
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: barely when foul would have been a home run had
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: the distance. He just looks like his approach is so
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: professional against whether it's a right of or left eat,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: to the point where these injuries have given Don an
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: opportunity to face lefties more consistently and correct me if
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong here, Chuck. But I felt like he answered
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: the bell all weekend long.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: Oh for sure, he's been our best hitter here in
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I don't care what pictures.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 5: On the mound.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: He just seems to be having the most consistent at
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: bats right now. And then he leaves with an injury.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: So a team that's banged up, you know, it pulls
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: at that hammy. I mean, as a sports viewer, I've
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: seen this a million times. I mean, that's never a
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: good thing. He says he's fine afterwards. Do you think
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: he's fine or do you think we have to just
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: accept that we're gonna be without dom Can zone for
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: a little while.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not ready to accept that we're gonna be without
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: dom Can Zone for a little bit. But if history
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: does repeat itself, we're looking at the Randy Rolls rine
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: of timeline and how that kind of unfolded. I think
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: we all, you know, felt like the road trip coming home. Oh,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: he'll be okay, he'll be okay, and then all of
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: a sudden boom, there was a slurry of roster transactions
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: and Randy Cobb himself in the middle of that. I'm
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: gonna stay optimistic because I know how often dom can DH.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: And if the hamstring is good enough to DH, then
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: maybe he can put a rap on it and keep
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: some compression on it and maybe rind out a little
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: bit by keeping him off his feet in the outfield.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: But with the injuries and Maritors are battling right now,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: they needed him to slide into right field to play
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: some defense. But if they can keep him off his
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: feet a little bit in DH, maybe he can battle
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: through this a little bit.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: You know, you put this uniform on you. You played
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: at T Mobile, You faced right eyes, you faced lefties.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: Did you have trouble hitting left handers? Did the ball
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: seem to come from a place that you didn't pick
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: up as well when you faced left handers? Why is
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: this team struggling so badly? If not that, what is
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: the reason why they can't hit lefties?
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Did you look up my stats before you asked that question.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: I did not.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's smart, I didn't. I definitely had some reverse splits,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: did you really? I struggled against left handed pitching as well.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: The obviously, the breaking balls are so much better at
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: the major league level. The way that big league pitchers
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: can throw a breaking ball without there being like a
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: broken dot or a seam on there, which allows you
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: as a hitter to pick it up sooner, it's unbelievable,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: and I think the technology that the pitchers have gives
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: them a massive advantage. It's just a really tough angle
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: for the right handed hitters with the left handed breaking ball.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: The pitch that's breaking into you, you would think would
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: actually work better, but for what has changed on the
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: offensive side with the swing path of everyone trying to
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: get a little bit deeper or longer with the barrel
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: behind contact so they can generate power and deliver it through,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: it's so much harder to know where that lefty breaking
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: ball is going to go to. And also it's just
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: not an angle that you see all the time. It's
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: tough to simulate a right handed pitcher. If you just
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: look at rosters across the major leagues. It is lopsided
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: with how many right handed pitchers you're going to see
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: and a roster as opposed to left handed. So now
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: it's just a nuanced, kind of funky angle, you know,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: spin secondary pitches. It's not an excuse, trust me, it's not.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: Because the Mariners they saw three really good ones in
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: a row this weekend. We've also watched them have a
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: lot of success against lefties. Remember that Sacramento Series a
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago when they went to Northern California and
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: swept the A's to get into first place. They battled
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: some tough lefties there. They took advantage of it. And
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: then this weekend rolls around, the Red Sox come in
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: and bring, honestly, three really good lefties into town. And
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: Early Early came out there and threw a tremendous game,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: and he was so effectively wild right I never felt
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: like the Mariners that are settled into the batter's box
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: because the lieutenant hitters were worried about that ninety five
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: on our fastball that was coming up at their front shoulder,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: and then he'd snapped some nasty break the balls off
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: of it. Like it just never looked like guys settled
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: in and early did and he threw a tremendous game.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: But it was a positive sign to see this offense
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: come around on Sunday against Peyton Toley, who is a
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: really good left hand pitcher and has the numbers to
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: back it up. Go out there and beat him to
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: salvage this series the best they could.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but dead fricking last and adding average slugging and
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: ops against lefties.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: This it's not great. It's not going to get this
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: team to where they want to go. I completely agree
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: with you there, and that needs to be addressed. And
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: it's it's disappointing to see that this has been a
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: big storyline this year is that this lineup can't hit lefties.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: And then I can almost guarantee you that at some
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: point there the organization will have to step in and
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: make some changes if this will this trend continues.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: Now, That's what I was going to ask, I mean,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: how much longer do you stick with it? Does it
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: feel like something that has to person personnel has to change?
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: Do you give it a little while longer to see
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: if ref Schneider and company? I mean, can zone seems
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: to be an answer right now? Against lefties if he
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: can stay healthy.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: I think they're showing us right now what they're willing
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: to do of throwing more lefties into the left handed
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: starting pitcher. It's like, hey, if it's got to be
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: a left on left because it's our best guys, then
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: we're going to start making that transition. But I've always
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: felt like the runway was to the All Star Break
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: before those hard roster decisions needed to be made. And
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: I think some of those players know that, and I
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: think we'll see how the organization makes that adjustment and
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: when we come back for when they come back from
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: the also break.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's fair.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: Former Mariner Ryan Heae with us of course on Mariner's
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: TV this year and our guest usually Tuesdays at nine,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: but joining us here on a Monday at nine today
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: to talk a little Mariner baseball. I want to talk
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: about a left handed hitter, but not his hitting. Josh Naylor.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: You've played first base last year he was so slick
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: over there, and then this year we just keep seeing
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: mistake after a mistake after a mistake. What do you
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: think is the problem the issue with Josh Naylor the
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: defensive player.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: My opinion is he's overly aggressive to Baseball's I think
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: there needs to be better communication between Josh and Cole Young.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: We all know how great Cole Young has been defensive
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: this year. I think it's time for Josh to recognize
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: that and maybe give Cole a little bit longer. You know,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: of a radius that he's covering over in second base,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: I think going I think Josh has a hard time
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: going to his glove side, so for him, that's his
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: that's his right hand side going in that three four hole.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: I think there's mistakes that have happened there. Obviously, Throat
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: to second base, like that's got to be more consistent.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have the best arm in the league. This
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: is a player though, that's you know, kind of seeing
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit of right feet, a little bit of
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: first base, and his call first base home for a while,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: and came to Seattle last year and played lights out
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: first base, so we all know he's capable of doing it.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: What I'm trying to figure out is was some of
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: this a result of the team not playing great collectively
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: and then Josh not playing great offense will be to
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: start the season. Was he trying to find different ways
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: to impact the team, because I know how much he
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: cares and how in it he is. Was he trying
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: to do too much? And he felt like maybe defense
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: was a place he could do it. And now there
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: are some bad habits that have been, you know, accumulated
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: throughout the course of the season, and now he's trying
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: to reel on it. But there's a lot of plays
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: where I watch him over there where he looks uncomfortable
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: and uneasy. And I know for a fact that defensive
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: slumps can happen just like offensive ones can.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, it looks like he's just trying. He's
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: trying to make the position look sexier than it is,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Like like just he already looks.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: Like sexy, like you got the you got the cleats on.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: I've always felt like, I don't know if he ever
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: wore a pair of like Jordan the Levens or Jordan Four's,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: like all the cleats that he wears. I love the shoes.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: They're tremendous, but they're not the most agile shoe Like
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: you don't like they're heavy, they're clunky, And I felt
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: like that early on. And if he hears me say that,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: he might fight me, honestly, because I know how much
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: he loves his shoes. Me no disrespect to the slag,
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: but I also know like some of those shoes that
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: are a little heavy and can weigh it down, and
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: like that can that can pile up a little bit.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: I sure hope that's not the cause, right Ryan, heally
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: is with us. Cal's not getting the results since he
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: come off. He's come off the injury list. Still hasn't
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: it a home run batting average still a one sixty two.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: But are you seeing an improved approach from Cal since
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: he came off the injury list?
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: Certainly more importantly, it looks like teams are pitching around
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: him right. Have you noticed.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: That a whole lot of not a.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: Whole lot of attacking the strike zone with Cal Rawley
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: right now? So, which which tells me that the advanced
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: scouting departments of these opposing teams were watching Cal on
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: his rehabit rehab assignment. So I went, oh, that guy
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: looks locked in. Let's not let him beat us this weekend.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: That's what it looked like to me. Cal also hit
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: a ball, I think it was the first or second
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: game back where he flew out to right field deep
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: where it's like oh, he just missed that and then
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: he got robbed, I believe on a home run as well. Obviously,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: he's had a lot of opportunities to hit on the
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: right hand side of the plate this past weekend, which
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: I think is really good for him. He looks way
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: more comfortable. The approach looks like the normal col So
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: for me, if you think about the you know, the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: chronological order of how this starts to click. His approach
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: is locked in. He's swinging his pitches. The power is
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: going to show up, and when it shows up for
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: a guy like Cal, it shows up in bunches.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some pitching in our last few
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: minutes here with Ryan Healy Logan, Gilbert seems to be
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: locked back in, and he was even looking that way
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: before Cal came back. But I'm not sure it's a
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: coincidence that he's looked his best the last two starts
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: with Cal back behind the plate. So just your assessment
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: is that that look like a fun at bat to
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: you right now?
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert, Logan, Gilbert, I've been i'ven't seen that name
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: in a few weeks. There's a guy named Walter that
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: I keep watching pitch that's real nasty. That guy's mean
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: he's throwing ninety eight mile an hour power fastballs. By you,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: I mean his ability, Like the velocity was upticking towards
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: the end of May. When I was up there, Goldie
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: and I were actually talking about that of how many
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: pitches at ninety seven ninety eight he was throwing per
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: outing compared to earlier in the month of May, in
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: the end of April, so something feels really good with
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: his sequence. And I do member there was a there
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: was like a dry bullpen where he was actually working.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: Logan Ger was working with Jose Ferrer in the bullpen.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: They were working on the move down the mount and
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: Ferrer was literally holding Logan's front hip as he was
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: coming down the mound, trying to get a little bit
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: more torque and coil. I want to give all the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: credits to Jose fer Air, because I don't think anyone
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: has yet. I remember watching that though, and just thinking, wow,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: like this is so cool, Like these are two big
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: leaguers just talking ball, trying to find that extra little
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: one percent together. But Logan looks so comfortable and confident
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: attacking the ult to fastballs that it always makes his
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: secondary pitches play up, but I think he's finally settled
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: in on the change up stay. Is the cutter actually effective?
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: You know what, I got a really nasty splitter. I'm
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: just gonna throw this thing with ninety eight and then
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: I'll mix in some breaking balls off of it. I
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: think KL brings that extra level of conviction for him
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: being behind the plate as well.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: A rough PR day for the piggyback on Friday, That's
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: that's like the worst scenario. I mean, you don't know
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: how game's going to unfold, but this experimentation that's gone on,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: that's the worst case scenario. That the starter looks like
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: he's got plenty of juice left, he looks great, but
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: you've already committed beforehand to taking him out after the
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: fifth inning, and then the reliever doesn't.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: Quite have it that day.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: So obviously the anti piggyback people had their day.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 5: They turned it into a weekend. They're still very angry
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: Here on this Monday, where's Ryan heay with the entire experiment?
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 5: Here on this Monday morning.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: I tried to remove my brain wandering too far into
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: possibilities just because Jerry Depoto and Justin Holland are been
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: so cut and dry of this is not a move
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: that we're willing to make, of moving one of the
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: starters of the bullpen, like they want to keep every
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: starter stretched out, and I understand why. I get that.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: It's frustrating what it doesn't work, and it's frustrating when
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: the offense doesn't do their job because unfortunately, the easy
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: target has been the piggyback acronym or phrase so far
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: this season, and anytime the Mariners don't win a game
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: and they have the piggyback, the whole city just erupts. Oh,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a storm. Anywhere you look on social media,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: and if you walk around, you go to the local Starbucks,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: don't you say the word piggyback is a brawl might
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: breakout at this point. It's I'm interested to see how
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: the evolution of it functions over the last few weeks
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: because we've been so used to seeing, you know, Bryce Miller,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: Lewis Castillo attached to that piggyback, but it's going to
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: branch off to every starter in this staff. So I
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: hope that maybe there's some you know, variety that is presented,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: maybe some adjustments that are made as the coaching staff
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: is getting more familiar with this because it doesn't look
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: like it's going anywhere for the immediate future. How they
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: manage a game to game no matters. But what I'm
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: going to lean on here, Chuck, is that when the
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: offense doesn't get hits, when the offense doesn't score runs,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter who's pitching on the mound. The Mariners
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: fans have seen this for King Felix for a whole
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: lot of years, a tremendous pitcher. Winning say Young's with
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: no run support is great, But as a win your
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: World Series, how does this team get more consistent with
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: the components and the ingredients that actually lead to the
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: playoff birth in the World Series.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking forward to the photo of Bunny when
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: she went on the Chuck and Buck radio show and
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: hung out with Uncle Chuck. So I'm expecting that post
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: to be made here pretty soon.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 7: Right right right, he's taking the photo.
• 1:44:31

• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: big significant trades and re signs players. That's how he
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: spends his Father's Day. Mom, Dad won't throw the ball
• 1:45:53

  Speaker 1: Jason Bottrell spent his Father's Day and chill now here
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: on the radio program.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 5: Hello sir, how are.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: You very good?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 5: Guys?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 11: Thank you very much for having me on.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 5: Is that about it? You see?
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: You just spent your whole day on the phone yesterday.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we've been on the phone quite a bit the
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 11: last few days, but went to the Mariners game Saturday night.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 11: Was think about maybe going to the Mariners game on Sunday,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 11: but that didn't materialize. The stuff so coming together happy
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 11: about the acquisitions yesterday?
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: Yesterday for sure, all right, Well, I want to talk
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: about the thing that at least came across our timeline. Second,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: maybe it happened earlier in the day. I don't know,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: But the extension decision with Bobby McMahon, how big of
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: a priority I mean, is it number one? Was it
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: the top priority this offseason?
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 11: This was of our returning players, Yes, it was. You know,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 11: Bobby came in at the trade deadline, had a huge
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 11: impact on our team right.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 5: Off the bat.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 11: He saw his size, his speed, his shot just fit
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 11: really well into lane system here. And you know, it's
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 11: fun watching things as things progressed here. He told Bobby
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 11: we had a lot of interest in bringing him back.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 11: I think after the season he really got to know
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 11: Seattle on the Pacific Northwest, hiking, did a little swimming,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 11: even in the South Lake Union, which was a little chilly,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 11: I think for sure, golf like, he got to know
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 11: the area really well. And uh, you know, We continue
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 11: to talk both Lane and myself through this entire process
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 11: with him, and ecstatic to have him on board, and
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 11: great that Bobby made a decision to be out in
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 11: Pacific Northwest for next six years here now.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: Now, unfortunately he didn't do a lot of winning when
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: he was in that cracking uniform, but he did a
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: lot of scoring. So what does this say about the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: strength of the organization that a player can come here
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: here here for a short period of time, not really
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: win a lot, and yet this is where he wants
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 11: Well, I think it's just how we treat people off
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 11: the off the ice here. You know what facility, the
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 11: facilities we have here, you know, strength and performance staff.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 11: You know, Bobby's a guy that really impressed. These are
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 11: the things that we didn't know about him were you know,
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 11: you know, you see it firsthand, just his dedication to
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 11: his craft, whether it's in the weight room or it's
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 11: preparing for practice or working on his game in practice.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 11: And I think he actually enjoyed he saw some of
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 11: the young talent we have, certainly later on the season
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 11: two with some of these guys that we called up
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 11: from Coachella Valley to he saw the young talent coming
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 11: through here, accept a little bit of a more of
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 11: a leadership role. That got him excited moving forward here too.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 11: So no, these are the things that we talked about
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 11: just how we would utilize him. Lane spoke extensively with
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 11: him on just you know, trying to maximize Bobby as
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 11: a hockey player, but then also selling them just on
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 11: our vision here with our young players. You look at
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 11: obviously with the trade with Mackie Semaskevitchy yesterday, young players
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 11: like Berkeley Catton, Fisker, Molguard, Ryan Winterton, like, we have
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 11: a lot of young Fords coming in the mix and
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 11: those that that's what got Bobby excited about signing up
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 11: with us.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: Moving forward here, Jason Botral is with us, her general
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: manager for the Seattle Crack and a busy son day
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: for him. Not only does he extend Bobby McMahon to
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: a six year contract, also.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 5: Made a trade.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: You heard him mention the name Mackie sam As Skavitch
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: over from the Florida Panthers. So this is just blank
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: canvas for a lot of US Crack and fans tell
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: us about Sama Skavitch, give us the scouting report.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 11: Well, at the end of the day. You know, you
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 11: look at what we've tried to bring into this organization,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 11: whether it's Chandler Stevenson, Vince Dunn, Brandon Monter. You're trying
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 11: to bring in players who have won Stanley Cupps. We're
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 11: also been trying to bring in younger players into our mix,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 11: right we you know, players who are in and around
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 11: that's a twenty to twenty five year old age category,
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 11: and mackiw we have both. We have a young player
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 11: who has won a Stanley Cup, you know, similar to
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 11: you know, fits in that same age category of age
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 11: twenty three, played with Matty Benier's at the University of Michigan.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 11: You know, some of the things that we just talked
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 11: to you about Bobby McMahon and the things that we
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 11: really liked about Bobby's game, Macki has the same attributes,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 11: great speed, gets it on the ford, check, has a
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 11: great really we believe, you know, he can be a
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 11: scorer in our system moving forward. Obviously playing on a
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 11: very talented Florida team, I think he'll get more of
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 11: an opportunity here and I was very excited to bring
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 11: him into our mix.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: You know, last year I heard from Lane Lambert a
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: little frustration that we're not getting enough shots on goal
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: near goal, just not being aggressive enough with our with
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: our shooting. McMahon seems to satisfy that last season. I'm
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: hearing that maybe Samuskevitch is the same way. Is this
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: something that we can arrive at a conclusion that you're
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: trying to find guys that are answering the bell that
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: that Lambert was ringing last year? Percent Like, I think
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: both of these players have a shooter mentality and we
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: love to see that. It's also what gets us excited
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: about Yanni Newman, who's played some games with our organization
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: up in Seattle here too excited about his future again
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: another shooter. We think we continue can continue to develop
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: the these playmakers that are in our centers in Veneer's
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: and Berkeley Caton and Chandler Stevenson here. Finding guys who
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: want to Hey, their first thought is get pucks the net.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: That's what we're looking for, and both of these players,
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: Mackie and Bobby can certainly do that. Now, you guys
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: have had quite a public announcement declaration that you were
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: gonna not You're gonna turn over every stone try to
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: figure out why this organization is is not having more success.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: So what was the overall conclusion that you drew from it.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 11: Well, it's an ongoing process obviously with Sportsology Mike Ford,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 11: who runs their organization, and it's been actually a really
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 11: good process from us, you know, it's been enjoyable working
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 11: with him evaluating you know, each one of our departments
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 11: going through it. Not only evaluating what we've done over
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 11: the first five years as an organization, but also here
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 11: you look at Sportsology, what they've done with different organizations
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 11: and NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball, just certain ideas on
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 11: how we can communicate better, how we can organize things
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 11: better as our organization continues to grow. So no, I've
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 11: certainly enjoyed working with Mike a lot. You know, we're
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 11: going to continue to sort of work with them from
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 11: a consultant basis to actually implement some of these things
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 11: as we move forward here. They certainly gave us the information.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 11: I know our business side is going to roll some
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 11: of the stuff out to our season ticket holders in
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 11: the near future. But overall, it's been a great process
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 11: just to have a reflection on, hey, what are we
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 11: doing well, but where are the areas that we can
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 11: really improve on.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: Is Sunday the biggest splash of this offseason or is
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: it just an indication of more to come?
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 11: Well, look, I think it's just something that we will
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 11: continue to continue to look at things. Obviously excited about
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 11: the two editions there and Bobby and Mackie. You know,
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 11: this is an interesting week this There's gonna be a
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 11: lot of discussions going on leading into the draft here.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 5: I think you look.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 11: At free agency, there's just not the depth of of
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 11: top end players in this year's class, So you know,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 11: the way we look at things. We'll certainly continue to
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 11: discuss and talk to different free agents out there. But
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 11: you know, I think the bigger opportunity to really improve
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 11: your team is going to come through the trade market here,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 11: So that's what we'll continue to look at. And you
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 11: know will be a fun week just with trade discussions,
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 11: preparations for the draft, so looking forward to.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 5: It for sure. Is the seventh pig in the draft
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 5: and which you still have?
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: You gave away the twenty fifth to get Samuskevitch, but
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: you still have the seventh? Is it available? I mean,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: are you willing to move it for the right deal?
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 11: We have to obviously look at all opportunities and stuff. Now,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 11: we put a value on that pick, for sure. If
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 11: you look at the draft this year, you know we
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 11: think there's anywhere and that's sort of top ten. You're
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 11: getting a top four defenseman or a top six forward
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 11: for sure, right, and that's a that's a huge attribute
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 11: to bring into your organization. So we certainly put value
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 11: on picking there. Our scouts have done a great job
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 11: and being ready for so many different scenarios at number seven.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 11: But yeah, we certainly have talked to other teams about
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 11: moving that pick if the right trade is there.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. You fired up for the draft?
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: What's a GM? I mean the GM GM with the draft?
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: My goodness, I meant, this has got to be your Christmas, right, No, it's.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 11: An exciting time, especially just you know, we're having all
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 11: our scouts come in this week too and into Seattle,
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 11: like they've spent so much time throughout the year working
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 11: on different things, and obviously there's a focus on the
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 11: top of the draft, but you know, there's just this
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 11: passionate about players in the fifth, sixth, seventh round and
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 11: stuff too. So it's a fun a fun week for
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 11: our organization without a doubt.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 5: All right, well, thank you, Sarah.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: We appreciate your time this morning, and we'll chat again soon.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 5: Sounds good, all great.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 3: Dave.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: Jason Botchell joining us right here, general manager of the
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: Seattle Crack and again very aggressive Sunday. Bobby McMahon a
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: Kraken for the next six years or so, it seems,
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: signed yesterday to a six year, thirty four and a
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: half million dollar deal, and Mackie Amaskevitch acquired from the
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: Florida Panthers. That's the first round pick, not their own
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: one that they had acquired in a previous deal twenty
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: fifth overall, and then a second round selection in twenty
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: twenty seven to add the twenty three year old Florida
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: former Florida Panther. So they have added to their depth
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: at the forward positions, obviously, and I think it's very
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: noteworthy they have added two very aggressive shooters of the puck,
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: which seemed to be a source of frustration in Lane
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: Lambert's first season with the Crack, and he couldn't even
