Chuck & Buck 3-16 Hour 4: The WBC delivers! Ben Meyers and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: The two to two ground ball towards the middle, which
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: their close way.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: In time too out, So the time run is now
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: ninety feet away and it's up to Rodo Perdomo.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Mason Miller's eighth pitch to Perdomo. Here it doesn't.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: The United States takes down the powerhouse.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: That is the Dominican Republic. Tuto on the final score,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Perdomo Domo, Herdomo Domo, thank you very much. Shoh Hroldo
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Perdomo for taking a pitch down below the strapa zone.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Too close to take, I'd say, I used.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: To be the call, right, yeah, yeah, yep yeah for
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the first I don't one hundred and fifty years of baseball.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It's like, if it's close enough for them to call,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: you might want to not leave it in the hands
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: of the umpire.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: It's hard to do. Don't get me wrong.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: When I throws one hundred and three and then snaps
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: off a slider three inches below the zone, I'm not
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: blaming him, but there is a way you could have
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: not been punched out. Looking It wasn't the.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Most outlandish thing you've ever seen it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: No fishing, no, nope, not even close, right, right, unfortunate.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, and I would be saying that if it
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: was the other way around too. I wouldn't be sitting
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: here if it was America that got Yank punched out
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: with a tie run on third base. I'd like that sucks.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It's a sucky way for it to end, just like
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I think yesterday's was a sucky way for it to end.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I also would have been saying, well, Judge or cow
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: or probably need to move the bat there, Yeah, a
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: little too close to take with Barbar with the season
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: or the tournament on the line. Yeah, hey, Garver, why
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: are you on ts?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: What I was saying, quite the question or quite the situation.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know why you caught astray there, Garver, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you deserve it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking about somebody who would be taking
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a pill in that situation.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, he would have been, for sure, hoping to pass
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the baton for the next guy to come through.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning, nine o'clock hour here on a Monday. All
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: sorts of things to discuss, Ashley, Bucky Chuck with you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But the WBC game last night, I think you just
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you know, I think you just start with, man, what
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a great game, I mean, for a manufactured tournament in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the middle of spring training where you have to mant
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: your you know, you're actively managing workloads because all the participants,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: especially in this game, are getting ready for one hundred
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and sixty two game regular season and you don't want
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to be the manager responsible for injuring that player. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you are sort of managing it like a spring training game,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: but with so much more on the frickin line for
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: goodness sake. And I mean, I've liked the WBC throughout
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: its entire history. As I said last week, I don't
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: want to see the Olympics on top of this.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: This is enough.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll talk about Julio getting hit by a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: pitch here in a moment, but I don't need that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: anxiety at this time of the year, worrying about stuff
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: like that. But I don't think I've ever been a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: bigger fan of the WBC than I was watching that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: game last night. That was spectacular from beginning to end.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And yes, I wish the game wouldn't have ended on
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: a called third strike below the zone. That was a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: great at bat by Prodomo. The game should have kept going.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And maybe I feel this way because the team I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: was rooting for one. But that was just fantastic. That
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: was fantastic for the sport. That was fantastic for the event.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: That was fantastic for Major League Baseball because they'll carry
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: some momentum from this outstanding WBC into the season.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot that goes into this tournament. I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: the win it's played, right, You're you're putting pitchers out
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: there for sure that are not stretched out ready to
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: go too terribly long. You're you're putting, you know, hitters
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: at risk of pitchers that aren't in mid season form,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: and so you could have an errant pitch go and
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: hit somebody and mess up your regular season. That means
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: more than this tournament does. But then on the flip
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: side of it's this tournament's got its own little blood,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: It's got its own little thing because of the the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: nationality part of it. Right, I mean we see I
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: think the American guys are all really proud when Roman
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Anthony hit that home run and comes across home and
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: does the across his chest the USA, I'm like, yeah, right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: And on the flip side of it, when Italy and
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: his name's Roman exactly yeah.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And yet on the flip side of it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I mean the passion that the Latin American players and
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Japanese players and Italian not really the Italian players are
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: playing with I.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Think is it's cool. It's cool to see it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, you just don't typically think of baseball that way,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: even though when you go play in another country like Venezuelan,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: you see the passion of their sport. It's like European
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: soccer fans in Latin America when you're playing baseball down there.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So it's not surprising to me what it feels like
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: when you're watching these games. And yet it still is
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: fun to watch because at this point, typically you're watching games,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: you're just like, all right, who's going to make the roster?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: The outcome doesn't matter at all. You're just waiting for
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: spring training to get over, you know, like everybody is
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: at this point.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: As much as I love spring training, and I do,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and I will just sometimes just put MLB Network on
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and I'll before you know it, I won't be like
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: focused in on it, but five games have gone by
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: because it's just on in the background, and it's usually
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: even on mute at times, but I might catch a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: little bit here and there, so I just keep it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: up and keep it going. So much as I do
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: like spring training, which is probably more than most, you
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: really are just rooting for. You know, if he fails, well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: he's working on something, right, And if he succeeds and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: hits like, well, the other pitcher's working on something. You
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: really can't enjoy any of the results you get from
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: spring training. Otherwise we'd be really worried about the Mariners
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, because they are not one games during
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: spring training at this point. So it is nice to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: splash real baseball in there, There's no question about it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: But this game kind of took it to a whole
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: new level. Mark de Rosa described to going into the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: game as this might be the best game ever played
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: on paper.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: And when you think about it, I mean all Star games.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: We've seen plenty of All Star quality players on the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: field at one time. But though in All Star games
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you're usually out by the third or fourth inning, if
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you're the starter, you only get one at bat during
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that This was the best hitters in the world. You know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: fifteen of the twenty five best hitters in the world
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: were probably on the field last night. Pitchers not so much,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: but fifteen of the top twenty five hitters in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: world were all playing in the same game last night.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And yet it was a pitchers duel.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and every single pitch meant something, and it was
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: two to one, which nobody expected. And man, those last
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: few innings.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was some tension right there.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Now, whoa yeah. I mean, I don't typically when you're
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: watching an All Star game, you'll have you'll have a
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: handful maybe you know, a Baker's dozen guys that are
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: on there because they just had a really good first half,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: but they don't necessarily you wouldn't put them as that's
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: one of the top fifty players or top twenty five
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: players in baseball. They just had a really good first
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: half and you know, they burst on the scene or
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: they had a you know, breakout year or whatever it
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: might be. This was I mean, you're talking probably close
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: to twenty of the top twenty five best players, where
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: some are on these two rosters. Now, pitching wise, you're right,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: You're you're getting a lot of guys that are like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I can do it right. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: don't know if I should go out there and risk,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: you know, throwing a bullet at Live, you know, one
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: hundred percent before I'm really ready to rock and roll.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: And yet yesterday both these teams, their bullpens went out there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, the starters went kind of blow for blow
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: with each other. Schemes is unbelievable, by the way. I
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: mean that stuff is absolutely disgusting. But then both teams
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: brought in relievers that You're like, this is crazy because
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: there's nowhere to breathe. And yet the game was exactly
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the way that I thought the game was going to go.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I was thinking more three to two, but I thought
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: it was going to be too Which team is going
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: to have somebody run into a mistake because you're going
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: to get a few mistakes. And when I say mistakes,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: it might be one hundred and two on our fastball
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: over the heart of the play, But who's gonna catch
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: up to it? And that the tension you're talking about.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Even down in the ninth inning, Mason Miller is rare
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and back and firing, and he's going since Camon Erro,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, if he runs into one of these,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: it's gonna go seven hundred fit. And yet luckily I
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: love the three pitches in a row.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Went one hundred one on one one oh two.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know that's the fastest bat arguably in baseball,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: cam and Arrow against the guy that throws the hardest
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: arguably in base And then after he climbs a ladder
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: on you like that, then he snaps off a slider
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that bounces in front of the plate.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: You have no chance, I do.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I tip my cap to you, kam Nero, because I
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: have done that many a time, my friend. I've looked
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: absolutely stupid, and then jogged down to first base like, wow,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: I guess that's why he's.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: As good as he is.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: When Skins early on in the game, I remember watching
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: and I was thinking, God, Skeins is dealing right now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: I have and I pulled out my phone like I
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: might actually put out a tweet about it. And then
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: literally the next pitch he gave up the home run
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: to Camin Arrow.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I'm like, total hanging, total mistake.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I was like, but I'm not going to
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: write that. But I just kept watching and just like
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: what Bucky said, thinking, these pitchers have to be thinking,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: there's literally no relief. I am just facing one amazing
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: hitter after another after another after another. It was incredible
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: to watch.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: The one relief is that hitters are usually ahead of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: pitchers at this time of the year. They always say that,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: and so I don't think that was a collection of
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the best relief pitchers in.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: The game on either side.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: But they were all nasty enough, you know, to be
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the lineup of superstars last night and keep it a
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: two to one ball game. D Nar wiggling out of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a jam. And let's give some credit to dro By
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the way. He had a rough week last week, But
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that pitching decision when he took Skeens out and he
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: went to Rogers with Soto coming up, and Rogers, I mean,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: he's got one one thing he will throw from a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: really weird angle. The ball sinks every single time, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: he induces pretty much ground ball after ground ball after
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: ground ball, first and second, one out against probably their
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: best hitter. He takes Skeens out, goes to Rogers and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: gets the double play ball to get out of it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Now that's a good move. So little love for dro
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: here day. He had a rough week last week.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: He did have a rough week, and you brought that
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: on yourself, buddy, You brought that one on yourself. But yeah,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: that was a great call especially. I mean, it's schemes
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: of stuff, is I mean, you could see these guys
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: are ramped up. They were having good at bats against him.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: You know, they had, you know, got a couple of
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: knocks off him, which is not an easy thing to do.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: He wasn't punching guys out the way that he does
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: in a normal lineup. Right when a normal lineup, he's
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: going to have half of that lineup for sure, just
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: about every single time he's going to overpower. Well, you're
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: not overpower in that Dominican lineup. You've got to go
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: out and pitch, and you got to hope that if
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: you make a mistake, it doesn't get deposited in the seats.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And the one big mistake he made with that big
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: hanging slider or sweep or whatever you want to call it,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: got got absolutely smashed. And yet he's settled down. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: then for d Row to go to a guy that,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: lets be real, is not in He's not in your
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: top thirteen American pitchers. No, he wasn't even there the first.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: He might not even be the best pitcher in his family. Yeah,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: he's got a twin, got a twin, but his twin
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: doesn't come from down, throw it off the door. He
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: just does from the left. He's just a regular, he doesn't.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just a left handed He's the exact same guy,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: just from the left side.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Huh wow.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he might not be, but regardless, he
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: ends up getting the job done. And it was one
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: of those like oh boy, here you go, because that's
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: when the tension started. The tension started happening, I mean
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: basically from the first get go, because you started feeling like, wow,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: these two starting pitchers are on their game and they're
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: not making a lot of mistakes. And then when they were,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the pitchers or the hitters were missing a couple of them,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, boom, you get one
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: popped out of the yard, and then another one. And
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: then even once you got to two to one, you
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: kind of felt like there was a lot hanging in
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the balance on every single pitch, and yet all the
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: guys that went up there on both sides ended up
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: kind of carrying the torch and passing to the next
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: guy as far as pictures go.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we do need to spend more time speaking
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: on hanging on every pitch. It was a ball at
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. The game ended on a
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: bad call, and I don't think that the umpire had
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a particularly good night.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Not have been a bad idea to.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Go with, you know, somebody that wasn't from America behind
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the home plate or from the Dominican We can find somebody, right,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I know we've got yeah, I know we've got you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I know we've got some international flavor amongst the MLB
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: umpiring ranks where you could have avoided that. Now, I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: don't think that that was an issue of bias on
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the home plate umpire's fault. I think he was not
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: having a great night behind the plate, and unfortunately the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: game ended on.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: A bad call.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: And look, they still had to get a hit off
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of Mason Miller, which no one has done in this tournament.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So I don't think that it cost the Dominican the game,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: but it certainly kept them from seeing if they would
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: have won.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: And that's unfortunate.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But we've lived in a world all our lives were
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the umpire as you said that the gold rule, don't
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: get called out on a third strike, you better be
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a hacking, you better swing at anything close.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: That's how we operated with baseball for one hundred years,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: and then suddenly we've become a little.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: More Now we got the box when we watch baseball games,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and the players have a lot keener eye for exactly.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Their box and their zone.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And now we know in the back of our heads
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: that we're gonna have an ABS challenge system for the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: first time ever. We have never played a meaningful game
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: with an ABS challenge system.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Ever, we still haven't done it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And yet people know that the technology exists, they know
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: it's coming to Major League Baseball this year, so they
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: spent the entire evening why don't we have an ABS
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: challenge system for that game last night? I wish we
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: would have had it. I wish that Perdomo would have
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: been able to challenge that because I don't like that
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the game ended that way. I still think the US
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: would have won, but I don't like the way that
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it ended.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure if we would have gotten
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: to them having a challenge left, because there was multiple
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: calls throughout that game on both sides, and I would
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I will go out and again and say I think there
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: was more bad calls against Dominican when we're talking about
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: just balls and strikes than against the us. I think
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that that it was not even. It wasn't one for
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: one for sure, and yet I think there would have
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: been some challenges along the way that Dominican would have
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: got right, and there would have been something that got
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: wrong too, because there was multiple pitches. Yes, well yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: call well they'll be out of the two challenges in
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: the first inning for sure. Well we're out of challenges.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Back to baseball the way it used to be played.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I'm excited about the abs because I would rather have
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: it get be done right, especially for something like that
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: that if you use them judiciously, if you if you're
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: smart with how you use them, you might come down
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: to the end with the game tying run on third base,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: and you have a great at bat and the human
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: misses it because it's not that easy. It looked like
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: a strike coming in there, ninety four miles an hour
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: the whole way, and then right when it goes basically
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: behind the catcher and dips below the zone, you can't
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: hardly see it there anyway. You're like, boom, that's good.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: That's a nasty pitch. That is a pitch that a
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: pitcher wants to make and he hopes it catches the
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: bottom part of the zone. But if it doesn't, maybe
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: the umpire rings them up on it. You can move
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: the bat and spoil that thing and give yourself another chance.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: But you basically did the right thing. You got screwed
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: on the call. If there was a way which ABS
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: would have allowed it, if you still had a challenge
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: left at that point, the point it's then you could
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: have possibly continued that thing, and you'd have first and third.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Now a double in the gap, you know, wins the
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: ball game, and all of a sudden things could have
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: changed it. I'm excited about seeing it because I think
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: it's going to work more in the favor of it
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: being right, which is what I want. I want it
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: to be right more than I want it to be
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: consistent or perfect. I think it's gonna help. But at
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: the same time, there's gonna be plenty of times where
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: you end up blowing your or their challenges early in
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: the game and bases loaded full count down by one,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: you get wrung up on strike three, and so and
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: so screwed you out of that one because he didn't
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: like his getting struck out earlier in the game, or
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: your pitcher tapped his helmet because he thought that was
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: strike three and it wasn't. Boom, You run through your
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: challenges and it all of a sudden doesn't matter.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Abs challenge system are not. That is not the last
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: time that a Major League Baseball game is going to
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: end on a bad strike.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it'll be interesting too to see how many
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: how many challenges are left over after games because people
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: are saving one for the very end, just in case
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: they need it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Probably not that often, you know, so probably not, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I mean you get two, yeah, you know, and so
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: in a game that tight, you're probably going to use
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: them in the moment in.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Case you think that's the moment where the.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Games on the line. I would imagine a game that type,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: there aren't going to be a lot of last batter
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: of the game challenges remaining.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: You can listen to it, so you would.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So like in last the game last night, they
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: probably wouldn't have even had a challenge.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's Bucky's point. Yeah, And and so that's
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: another thing to factor in, especially with all of the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: complaining about the officiating.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah last night that was going on. Well, it's sometimes
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: it's difficult. I mean, you can say, you know where
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: the strike zone is and you don't really know no,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Like you just can't. You're up there trying to think
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: about hitting. Imagine trying to be the umpire and the
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: hitter at the same time. Well, you are kind of
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: and it's split second. You're trying to be like, is
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: that strike?
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: Go?
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Is that both?
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: No?
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I mean you're trying to, but you're not doing it
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: the same as the guy that that's his only job
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: back there, and so they're right more often than you
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: would be as a hitter. Otherwise you would have no
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: hitters that would take strikes and they would never swing
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: at balls.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I'll do it. The only thing I'll disagree with about
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: that is that I think people on social media can
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: do it all. Okay, I think they actually can. Well
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: their jobs last night they do it all. Yeah, they
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: can hit that situation, and they can. It's a good PSA.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: By the way, those of us watching with the box
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: on TV, we obviously do it a lot better than
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: the guy actually seeing it live, or the catcher trying
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: to catch the hunter mounter fastball, or most certainly the
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: guy's trying to hit it and decided if it's a ball.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Or to Chuck's point too, with social media, though, you
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: have to go through a lot to get verified.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Oh that's true exactly.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: So it's not like just anybody can go and pay
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: money and be verified.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: It's a non impeachable source. There's no doubt about that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: And then Julio got hit last night.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: It looked terrible. You get hitting the wrist by Paul Skeins,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: That's what it looked like. I thought for sure he
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: got hitting the wrist, and I guess it was like
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the side.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Of the hand.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: No, I think he got hitting his back wrist. Yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: got hit, Yeah, and then the fleshy part in the risk.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: But he had that look on his face like, oh no,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: he had that look on his face. And then he
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: bent over and I'm like, okay, well we'll see him
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: in August. Yeah, that's great.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: We don't have to worry about him having a cold
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: start to the season.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: But he Yeah, that's a really cold start in the season.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: But he jogged down to first, made a play over
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the wall to rob judge of a homer, had a
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: nice at batt later in the ninth inning to get
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: on base and give the dr a chance. So it
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: looks like Julio's going to be Okay, but that was
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: a gulp moment for all of us that we're worried
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: about that exact thing happening during the WBC. All right,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: joining us next on the program. I'm telling you, this
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: guy's energy has been about as fun a thing to
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: watch for the Seattle Kracking as anything that has happened
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: this year. Ben Myers joins us on Sports Radio ninety
• 20:39

  Speaker 2: McDonald's ad, but did you see that Michael B. Jordan

  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Let's just think it's not.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I want to believe that that's what happened. Joining us
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: now on the program. Man, if you like your hockey
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: players to go one hundred miles per hour at all times,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: punch anything that gets in your way, and crash the
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: net at all times to try to score a goal,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: then you've fallen in love with Ben Myers of the
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Seattle Cracking and his limited time in a cracking uniform.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: And he joins us now on Chucking Buck.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Ben, morning, guys, Thanks for having me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for being with us.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: So if you win the Stanley Cup at some point
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: in your career, what's the junk food you're going to
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: pick up on the way home.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's a great question. I'm just a soccer for
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: a good burger, so yeah, that'd probably be pretty simple.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Pretty simple.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Anyone is specific, though, do you have a specific burger
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that you like out there?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: You brought up in and out, in and out. It's
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: hard to beat, So.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's what a hamburger is all about out here. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I'm a fan. Well man, we love watching you play.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I think your energy out there on the ice is uh,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: it's infectious, is what it is. And so you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: has that just been the way you have to play
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: in your estimation or is that the way you've always played?
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I think it's been developed over time. But
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: you know that's certainly uh kind of the identity I've
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: been trying to make, you know, since becoming a professional.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: And I think our line specifically this year is just
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: our focus is bringing the good energy as a team.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: And you know that means you just do a lot
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: of skating and being hard to play against.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Sure, Ben, the I mean the idea of this squad.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: You guys go out there and and you know you
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: can play with anybody, and then you guys will sometimes
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: go kind of fall into a funk a little bit
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: and drop a couple of games in a row, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: yet it doesn't seem like your guys's line. Not that
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: you guys are perfect buying stretch, but you guys just
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: do kind of skate with that same type of energy
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: and almost like, you know, kind of being a pest
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: to your opponent when you're out there. I mean, it's
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: that's by design. Do you guys talk about that as
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: a line, like, let's outskate these guys every single time
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: and then we'll see how many pucks we put in
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: the back of the net.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Certainly the goal. Yeah, I know we talked about bringing
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: that energy, especially as a line, and you know that's
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: certainly the goal. I think that's when we're playing our
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: best as a team, is when we're really skating and
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: and checking well. And you know, like you said, it's
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: it's hard to play against, and you know teams don't
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: like that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: So Ben Myers is with us right here on checking buck. Yeah,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I call your line the kids table because it's just
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, you you craig me if I'm wrong, But
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I've been here from Lane Lambert. He just wants to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: see more shots on goal, wants to see this team
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: take more chances to try to solve some of its
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: offensive struggles at times. Uh, and it's to me your
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: line takes that to heart. I mean, you and Winterton
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: and Goodroau, we're just attacking the goal last night. So
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: is that a conscious decision? Are you like, yes, sir coach,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: we'll do whatever you want. Or is that just the
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: way Ben Meyers plays?
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah? No, I think it's it's just the way all
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: three of us play. And then you know, we've had
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Jacob Wanton on our line quite a bit and he's
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: he's kind of the same way. And uh, you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: I think Freddie does a lot for us. He brings
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: just a lot of versatility to our line. And you know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: me and Me and Wins like the skate a lot.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: And uh, you know, I think Freddie's really compliments that
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: pretty well. And you know that's just what we try
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: to bring.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: New guy Bobby is that I mean, this guy perfect
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: fit for what it is you guys needed there at
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: the deadline.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean he's just a really strong strong player.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: You see a strength on you. You can really skate
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: and uh, he's been shooting the puck really well and
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: and find the backer bet which obviously will help any team.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: And uh yeah, so I think it's a great pickup
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: for us.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, three goals in his first two games, and you guys,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: you know, had lost what four in a row? All
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: of a sudden McMahon joins the team and you've dominated
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the last couple of games.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Ben, is he make that big
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: of a difference?
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean brought us a spark, no question, obviously.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Uh you know, through three goals of your first two games.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: So yeah, no, he's brought a spark for sure, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: you know we're happy to have him for sure.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Are you getting tired of confusing McMahon with McCann all
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: the time? You have to do they have name tags now?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Or do you just go Bobby and Jared and keep
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: it safe?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we keep it Bobby and Jared. I think for now. Okay,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: it's been too fake of this year.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Well it has been for me because I just keep
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: tripping up over it every time.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I keep calling him McCann when I know better.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Ben Myers is with us right here on Chuck and
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Buck in the mornings as the crack and win last
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: night in easy fashion over the Florida Panthers and the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: kids table line actually probably played the best of anyone
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: last night. So just your overall impressions, I mean, this
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: is your first year in NHL where you've seen this
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: much action. How do you feel that you are ingraining
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: yourself into the National Hockey League.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I think it's been going well so far.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm just trying to grow my role as
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: as things roll along here and you know, get trusted
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: in more situations and you know, just try to grow
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: my role and help the team in whatever way. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: you know, it's been going well so far. It's it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: a fun group to play with. You know, we come
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: to the rink and you know, we enjoy each other's
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: company and I think that goes a long way throughout
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: the year. So it's it's been a really good group
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: to be a part of for sure.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: And look, I mean you're twenty seven years old. I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: mean people still calling you like a young player. I
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: mean there are Berkeley Katton's like four and so what
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: did you learn from like the longer journey to ice
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: time in the NHL? What in what ways did that
• 27:57

• 35:47
  Speaker 3: With it's, true, Though it's very.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: True, also just close my one last, thing So Rachel,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Nichols so just to kind of clarify maybe what this
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: means for the expansion for The, Sonics basically they're skipping
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: past all of the bidding for AN nba expansion. Freshise
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: they have basically stretched it out too. Long so what
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: they're gonna bid on next week Is seattle Or. Vegas
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: these are the two. Teams do you.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Want them or? Not do we want to do?
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Expansion and if they don't pass that for whatever, REASON
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: i think what's going to happen, is all, right we're
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: not going to, expand but we got a clear vision
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: on how we're gonna do. This and THEN i think
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: what happens is those two franchises will gobble Up memphis Or.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Portland so if.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: You don't want to take somebody else's team like what's
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: done to, you then you root for the vote yes
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: on the expansion next.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Week and we should be off and. Running all, Right
