• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah I know, but yeah I got some good color red.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Almost finished a book, haven't finished it yet, but almost done.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Well, mean you just sa outside read a book?
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Sat outside and read, okay all day yesterday?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Oh good? Yeah? I mean yeah, usually an indoor activity.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's odd that the warm weather warms up and you're like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go outside.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: And well, yeah that's all I read the most in
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: the summer, Is that right?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Good? For you good practice. We don't read enough.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I know, I agree, and so yeah, because you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: when you're inside then you start to do chores or
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: put the TV on things like that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: And we do have an outdoor TV. I had the
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Mirror Inness Game on it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But you know, I not just three TV household.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, but I feel like you get you're
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: just you don't you just give into the reading.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're outside oers, you know, or at least I do.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Palmer was.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Playing in the sprinkler.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Palmer the Great had her friend over nice bunker, got
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a bath, and he was just basking in the sun
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: drying off.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It really is just a I mean, I actually think
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: like eighties is just a tad too warm. It's not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: exactly what I prefer. I know, everybody kind of circles
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: eighty as ideal. I'm more of a sixty seven kind
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of guy as so what I consider ideal. So it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: still a little but in the shade, it was terrific
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and I was happy for all the people that have
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: been waiting for eighty And I really do believe that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it is this time of the year, which is the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: time of the year to live in Washington. We always
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: get credit for July fourth through September. But I think
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: this is where it's magic time, this magic hour, right,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it was magic?
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Do you enjoy it?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I did? Yeah? Yeah, good good weekend over all, and yes,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that it ends. I mean, I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: think we've got a couple of good seventy seven to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: eighty degree days coming up, and.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Then today's supposed to be warmer than yesterday.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Then it drops back down where I love it for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a little while and we can just bottle that if
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you don't mind. God, just bottle that up what's coming
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and we'll do it that way. But welcome into the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: radio program. We have a lot to discuss today. We
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: have Grand Slam cash to give away. Apparently there's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: whole vault of it somewhere. Media is your keyword. M
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: E d i A. Enter it at ninety three to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: three kh a r dot com for your shot at
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars in Grand Slam cash. Media, M D
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I A. If you're wondering, well, come over time that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the Grand Slam cash hasn't grown. Why isn't it with
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the inflation? Fifteen hundred dollars that's just the way I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Heeart does things. Yeah, I don't ever raise prices, no.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Or rewards.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: You don't get a cost of living increase on the price.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: No, boy, no, no, that's just that is anti ihart,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: tell you that right now. All right, well, I'll tell
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you something that our local baseball team is that I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: figured out this time of the year warm weather, cold weather,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: marine layer, you know, doesn't matter before the summer months
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: get here. This is a baseball organization, a baseball team
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that is just hates momentum. Yeah, yeah, they are anti momentum,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that's for sure, you know. I mean, if you're gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: tell us we're back on track, we'll show you if
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it will prove you wrong. We'll get home after getting
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: back to five hundred. We'll take on a team that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is struggling more than what we've struggled here to the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: start the season a month into it. And if you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: think that we've solved things, boy, we'll show you. We'll
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: learn you real quick. Around here. We hate momentum.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: If you think we hate early season success, if you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: try to tell us that conditions are set up perfectly
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: for us to have an awesome successful weekend, help we
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: are going to blow that out of the water.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We hate the idea of making things easy. Yeah, we
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: want our fans angry. That's just uh, that's how we
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: do things. We get a kick out of it. We
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: really really do extract joy from your misery. Yeah, that's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: what it feels like.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: It does feel like that, especially when I mean when
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: even the people on the broadcast who generally sugarcoat some things,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, when even they're like, well that was some
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: bad baseball this weekend.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, then it's some bad baseball.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, no question about it. And and I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and just I mean, I honestly did not watch Friday.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing the Apple TV thing. Yeah, I'm just
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it's just a live drawing the line of just a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: code that I have. Every man has to have a code,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: whether it's or right. My code is I'm not going
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to keep doing this streaming bull crap. There's a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of baseball that I get to watch during the course
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of the season, and if you're going to do this,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: then I'm not going I'm not buying every one of them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So I didn't watch Friday. I certainly monitored the results.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Couldn't believe that Brian Wu got lit up again, even
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: though he did seem to settle down, and by Saturday
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: he didn't seem affected, he didn't seem worried. He was
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all smiles on the top lip. I know when when
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I played, if I had an outing like that, I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: probably couldn't talk to anybody for a week. But that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: major leaguers. You kind of move on from it. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he obviously doesn't think anything's broken. He's just feels like
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: some adjustments to be need to be made, and it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: really is only two bad starts out of his what
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: seven so far this year.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: That's what I didn't like.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But I have faith he's fine. I have faith he's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: going to turn around and be the Brian Wu that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: we like. So I don't have too much insight into
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what happened on Friday. But then two on Sunday have
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: lost so lifelessly, and then on Saturday have lost so carelessly.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is just I mean, you could tell
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: by the fans on Sunday. And it's not that they
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: didn't show up or I don't even think that there.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I think that there are so many more Mariner fans
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that actually do believe in this team than the loud
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: minority that you hear constantly on social media platforms. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: mean there's a significant percentage of them as well that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just never are going to believe that the Mariners are
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: ever going to do anything right. But I think the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: majority of Mariner fans actually do get it, do believe
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in this team. And and but there was certainly, I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: mean you could just feel it, in my opinion, just
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: this feeling of why why do we have to why? Yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: why does this have to happen in the spring every
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: fricking year? I mean, can you not take advantage of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a good thing? Can you not take advantage of momentum?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Do you have to put yourself in a position where
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: we got to have thirty eighteen meetings? Do we have
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to be this sloppy? I mean this early in the year.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You are professional baseball players, and it was just the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, we went in and chalked up last night
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to one of those games, I suppose. But then for
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you to come out on Sunday and just play without
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: any life whatsoever, I mean it is I mean, I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: get every frustrated Mariner fan out there, it's just garbage baseball,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And that's what it was all weekend long at a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: time where I told you on Friday, hey, you're hit
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the reset button. Now you can take that deep breath.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And now we have one hundred and thirty games to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: show just how superior this roster is to everybody else
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in the American League West. And no, let's dig a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: hole again. Don't put that shovel away. I got another
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: hole to dig.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to see. It's too early for me
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: to make this easy.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to keep it. We got to keep
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: stringing it along. Let's go, let's get swept.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And look, there are some reasons I mean, Calden
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: play this weekend. I mean the bottom of your order.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: You're you're still without Donovan, who I thought might be
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: back by this series and doesn't look like he's going
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to be back for the home stand at all now.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So you're down three starters from this team at this point,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and and and teams still want to line up lefties
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: against you. So that's a problem. But you know, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: pointed out at the beginning of the year three things,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: because we you know, I didn't want to get lost Ashley,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and all of the hype of you know, the preseason
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and the national guy is saying, and and look, we
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: go to spring training and that's a mostly positive experience.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: You can't help baseball starting a new You're in Arizona,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the weather's nice, you're talking to the guys, you're seeing
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: him again. It's just a good feeling, and it's hard
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: not to get kind of swept up. I always say
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it before spring training coverage that I will end up
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: adding two to three wins by the end of spring
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: training coverage. You know, five days of shows, and I'll
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: go from eighty eight to ninety one or in this
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: year's case, ninety three to ninety six by the time
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it was over. It's just it's hard not to get
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: caught up in all of that, even as a professional broadcaster.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: But I did. I did try to go out of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: my way to point out three areas that I was
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: concerned with. Number one versus left handed pitching. Number two,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson, I don't think he had such a great
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: year last year, as evident by the c minus I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: gave him at the end of last season. And number three,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and Buggy didn't want to hear this at the time. Defense, Yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: our defense is terrible, terrible, I mean, and it shouldn't be.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing not to be able to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: get to a few balls, and maybe you sacrifice a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: little athleticism in order to keep intact continuity in order
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to make sure you're getting the shore out. We are
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: last in Major League Baseball and defense last, dead last,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and it's routine errors, it's misjudged fly balls, and it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: definitely mental errors that have been taking place and just
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: general sloppiness. We have a bad defensive team right now
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and it's showing up more regularly than not and must
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: drive Perry Hill out of his mind to see it
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: take place on the field. But I think it's all
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: about focus. I really do. I think that this is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: just as we started the show with. You know here,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you have momentum for the first time this year, looks
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like you get a chance to kind of reset things
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: all across the board, and then you show up and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: play your most lackluster baseball of the entire season. That's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: just a lack of focus. It just is, and it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: inexcusable from a veteran team. Now, this is not some
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: rebuilding group organization right now, This isn't a bunch of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: young guys trying to prove that they belong. This is
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a World Series contender. By their own admission, they wouldn't
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: talk about any they wouldn't describe them in selves any
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: other way back in spring training, and for them to
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: play such listless, careless baseball at times, I don't know
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: what that's a reflection of. But I do know that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: nobody is getting through to the players. Thirty five games
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: into the year. I'm sure they'll straighten it out, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that we're going to get to the summer
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and it's not going to be any big deal and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: we'll forget all about it and they will eventually run
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: away with the American League West. I still believe that,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: But I don't know what it takes for this team
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to wake up in the spring, because it's every fing year.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was no excuse for it, Honestly, Like
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: in the past, you could come up with reasons, oh yeah, this, this.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: This, and we're gonna get there. We're gonna get there
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: For the expectations that we had coming off of last
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: season and just the talent that we have on this
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: team to go into this weekend thinking, okay, we just
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: we've righted the ship we're at five hundred, We've got
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: nice weather, We've got a celebratory crowd to honor Randy
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Johnson all weekend. This is if there isn't a better
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: recipe for this team to come out.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Look great and play great. I mean they had it
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: right there in front of them, and they the bed.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, they did, right through their own pants. Yeah yeah uh.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And then I mean the I think the story, you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the one moment that kind of captured the weekend is
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Randy a Rose Arena. Who I see a better team
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: player this year. I see a guy that is hustling.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I see a guy that does make mental mistakes, always
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: has his entire career, but seems to be trying to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: make up for them. I see a guy who was
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: pull happy and trying to hit home runs a lot,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and yet he's going the opposite way. He's made adjustments.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's trying to see the light and like, hey,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I keep getting labeled as this team. Maybe that I'm
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: not this team guy. I'm going to be different this year.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You see examples of that. And then he forgets the count,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: yeah and just strolls off of first base. And it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: didn't mean that we were going to win because Cole
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Young still had to come through its three to two.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: There were two outs. He still is either going to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: have to get a walk or he was going to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: have to get a clutch hit. In that situation. It's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: not like Randy a Rose are forgetting how many outs
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: there were equals Mariner's loss, you know, because that simply
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: was not the case. But just the moment was sort
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of emblematic of sort of the sloppiness, certainly of Saturday
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't It wasn't just that, you know, Mitch Garver,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: every catch, everybody knows, even a catcher has to when
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you got a guy caught in the middle, you got
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to make him commit before you commit. And what he
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: do he do throws the long throw to second base,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: which allows the base runner who made a mistake and
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: we could have erased him right there, and he gets
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to third base. That was a mistake. I mean, there
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: were just countless mistakes on Saturday night, but the A
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Rose Arena play was emblematic of the weekend. And it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: like where where where are your heads at? Why do
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you why do you why are you listless? Why are
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you careless? When I just felt like two days off,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: back at home, warmer weather, fans here, celebratory mood. Randy Johnson.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I think I just want my professional athletes to be
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: their most focused in that situation.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And it seems like they should have been there. Again,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: there's no excuse for why they weren't.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: None.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Now, I'll say this, I do think it was interference
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on that play. I'm with day Valley on that one,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: because what happened was Pasquentino looked back to the catcher
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and didn't realize a rose arena was running at him.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: If a rose arena is allowed to stay in that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: hot box, as we used to call it, that pickle,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that rundown, then that gives JP Crawford a chance to score.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: So they called it's a new rule that you can't intentionally,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: as a runner run into the fielder. That's not what happened.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Pasquentino took his eye off of the runner to see
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: if JP was running home, and a rose arena did
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: take advantage of that, but he was right in the baseline.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: He didn't go out of his way to run into him,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and there was value to him staying in that rundown,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and JP should have left immediately. By the way, which
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: was another mental mistake by both he and the third
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: base coach, because once the guy's hung out to dry
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: like that, your best chance is to an errant throw home,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: not to see if he can outrun Bobby Wit, which
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he was never going to do in a rundown because
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Bobby WIT's one of the fastest players in the league.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He should have taken off immediately, and he didn't. But
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that reaction to his stupidity, his own stupidity, Randy was
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: emblematic of the weekend. But I do believe that pass
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Quentino his strategy was to stay in the rundown, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: pass Quentino interfered with him and prohibited him from doing that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: That is interference. I don't care what new rule you have.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: That is interference. So I think they did blow that. Yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I will say that, but it's still no excuse to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: forget the count no as a professional baseball player. Yeah,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And that was just stuff that was happening all weekend long.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and just little things that just and I don't.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Know what happens behind the scenes. And I know that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson has loved and respected in that clubhouse for
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: always having the players backs, But man, does it rub
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: me the wrong way? Hear a manager go to the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: press conference and say, hey, he forgot the outs. That happens. Wow, Okay,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I did it too, Okay, all right, I see one
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games a marathon, not a sprint,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I understand. But that kind of carelessness marked the entire
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: night Saturday night, And to me, I want my manager
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to be angry about that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I would like it too, because you're not going to
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: get better if you just say, ah, jack it up.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: All that again?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: All right, let's find out what's on tap for the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: rest of the show. But what's on te what's on tech?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to sign Brad Adam the responsibility
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of explaining what happened this weekend.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: I bet he's thrilled.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: He's going to join us, our friend, Brad Adam. He'll
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: be with us at nine o'clock from Mariner's TV Today.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Mariners swept over the weekend. They're sixteen and nineteen now
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: on the year. Logan Gilbert gets the start tonight. He'll
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: go up against a local product, JR. Richie, So there
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: will be a little emotion, involve a little side story.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: He's at Bainbridge, right, He's from Bainbridge Island and has
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: turned into one heck of a young pitcher for the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves. And so local boy returning home, lifelong Mariner
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: fan to pitch tonight against the Mariners. So it's Richie
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: versus Gilbert first pitch tonight at six forty. Cal didn't
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: play this weekend. He has an injury. That's another thing.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Why do we Why does it always have to be
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a mystery?
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: What?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: This is not football? No where teams are just gonna
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: target the injury. You know, I don't, and yet football
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: announces what the injuries are. I don't know why we
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: have to for forty eight hours go cloak and dagger
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: and we just can't say Cal's got a side thing.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what they should have done when they
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: sent out the new lineup, like, hey, Cal's gonna sit
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: He's got a side issue.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: They'll look at it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Instead it was just, oh, hold on, we're gonna put
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: out a new lineup. Cal's out, Garver's in, and then
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: everybody's sitting there going I'm sorry what Yeah, I.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Mean it's the best player. I mean a sideline reporter
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that's kind of their job to find out that information,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and the Mariners don't give out any information along these lines.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know who isn't responsible for that, but it
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: just seems like it is just being way over protective.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: It seems like, let your fan base know what's wrong
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: with their favorite player. Yeah, is that that hard? Do
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: we have to wait three days to find out what's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: And they don't have to go crazy and be like
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: overly specific, just say hey, this is it, We're gonna
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: look at it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: He's gonna sit out.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Well go. They did say that General sore Neis is
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: what they kept saying for two days.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Side things, Yeah, specific.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Seahawks rookie Minnie camp was Friday and Saturday. Greg Bell
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: will be our eyes and ears on that front. He'll
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: join us today at seven oh five NBA Playoffs, so
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about that today as well.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: The Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons both advanced UH into
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the next round, and it was kind of in doubt
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: for a while both of those series, certainly the Detroit
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Piston series. Kate Cunningham said afterwards that the magic forced
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: us to look in the mirror. They ended up winning
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: their last three games of that series, and so the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: one seed does advance. And of course, over the weekend,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics were knocked out of the playoffs and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: they were the favorite to win the East this year.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia will take on the New York Knicks game one tonight.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Minnesota has already pulled an up set. They will take
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: on the San Antonio Spurs in game one tonight. Aunt
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Edwards said to be available at some point in the series,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: but not for Game one. Stanley Cup Playoffs. Tampa Bay
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: got knocked out of the playoffs and they were one
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of the favorites in the East. But Montreal takes out
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Lightning as well. That was one heck
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: of a Game seven there yesterday, Man was that fought intensely. Meanwhile,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Colorado and Minnesota not so intensely. Just a bunch of goals.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Nine to six was the final score.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: A lot of defense there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Eight different players from the Avalanche scored goals in the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: game last night. Nine to six the final scores for
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the Avalanche up one zero in that series. Same with Carolina,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: who will host Philadelphia tonight Game one. Anaheim and Las
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Vegas also tonight. Sounders played to a draw in Kansas
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: City against Sporting KC one goal apiece. The Sounders have
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a really good record, but they've only scored thirteen goals
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in nine games so far this season. Dogs after Dark
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: off I suppose without a hitch other. I guess the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: main story was that there weren't near the number of
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: fans as was being told, So I don't know why
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that is, but we'll talk a little bit about that
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: later on in the show. Golden Tempo won the Kentucky
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Derby on Saturday, and the w NBA preseason ended yesterday.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Their regular season will begin this Friday. Coming up next,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Mariners Morning After. We have a highlight of SoundBite, a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: preview of what's going on tonight, plus a little bit
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of information about Mariners Morning After as well. On KJR,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: your friendly neighborhood host is thinking about doing with Mariners
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Morning After. I know this has been a part of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: our six thirty segment. Maybe there are a lot of
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: listeners out there. I wish you didn't do this every day. Well,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: then you are in luck because I am deeply considering
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: moving it. I didn't want to just rip it out
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: from underneath people, but we tend to talk, especially during
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the summer, about the Mariners to start the show, and
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: then and then we kind of sometimes forget that. Hey,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: some people wake up at eight and they want to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: hear us talk about the game. So anyway, I'm probably
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: revealing more than I should. But thinking about, unless we
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: get some really bad pushback about moving it. But thinking
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: about moving Mariner's Morning After to eight thirty starting next week.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to just rip the band aid off
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: and hit you between the.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Eyes today on a Monday. It's a hard thing to do.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're already dealing with a crap weekend with
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: our baseball team, so I didn't want to add to that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: But it is something being deeply considered. I will consider
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: your feedback at four nine four five one. But there
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is a chance I'm going to move Mariner's Morning After
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to eight thirty next Monday.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, So if you're strongly opposed or strongly for let
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: us know. If you don't really care today, you don't
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: have to tell us.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Consider yourself warned. Yeah, all right, let's get into it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Mariner's Morning After is our post game show. We just
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: do it the morning after. A highlight, a SoundBite, a preview,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of what's going on tonight. Not many highlights from the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: weekend for the local baseball team. They came back home
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: with a five hundred record, having won five of their
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: last six games, all on the road. Everything felt wonderful,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you know, Randy Johnson weekend. I mean, he had great weather.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It just felt like this was the weekend to watch
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Mariners baseball and it was probably the worst they've played
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: all season long. I don't know why they do that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to us, but that's what they did. A loss on Friday,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the sloppiest of all sloppy losses on Saturday, and then Sunday,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a left hander on the mound for the Kansas City Royals,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and we could possibly have left hand come on now,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't even pitch on the right side
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of his body, right, We stot no chance. So not
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of off on Sunday. Luis Castillo actually looked
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: a lot better than what he's looked in more recent starts,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: but he did run into some trouble with the Kansas
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: City Royals, as they did end up putting a crooked
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: number on the board and up two to one at
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: one point in the contest. Salvador Perez is at third base.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: You're thinking to yourself, all right, can we can we
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: just get out of this down one? Is that possible?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And Isaac Collins came to the plate with the world's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: slowest base runner at third, runners out the corners.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Collins a flat ball hanging up there right center field.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Catches made Perez on his way home, man Hel Salvado
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Perez emphatically saying, take a look.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: As of now the inding is over. The Royals do
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: want to challenge, looks to Mike he May and challenging
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the alcoholic home plate. After review to call the fielders
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: overturn the runner is.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Say, titty, paint your challenge.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: He was in.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: He was in just via the tips of his fingers.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Ye three to one. At that point it was a
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: three run fourth inning for the Kansas City Royals. It
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: would be all that they would need because Chris Bubach
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: allowed just one run over seven innings and the Mariners
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: could not get any kind of rally going. Yesterday, Luis
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Castillo loses the game. He's ozing three on the year.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: He gave up four runs and six innings of work,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: struck out five, which was an actual improvement for him,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: but he's still sitting there with a six point twenty
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: nine e ra A at this stage in the year.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this later, but I think it's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: pretty obvious what has to happen once Bryce Miller comes
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: off the injury list, But we will get into that
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a little later on in the program. I would also
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: like to point out, was that not I mean, on
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: top of everything else, the cherry on top of the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: crap Sunday over the weekend? Could we have used our
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: challenges any worse than what we did yesterday?
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: They were terrible?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: The Kansas City roles were perfect and we were over.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: We should have actually after the first one just been
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: the rest of them should have been taken away, and
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: there was a little given a chance.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I think Parada was, you know, catching his first game
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: back at the majors. I think he was nervous and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to screw up, and you could tell that.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Castilla was like, we got to challenge that. Why didn't
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: you challenge He was waiting for him. But to in
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: my estimation, you're the veteran. He's he's making his first appearance.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: If you want to challenge it, you challenge it. You're
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the veteran pitcher in this situation, you're the grown up. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: you challenge it if you want it. And then he
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: had done it. I think he had said to him
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: about four times, like you got to challenge that. And
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: then so finally Parada challenges one that shouldn't have been challenged.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: You and a half inches above the strike zone.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, terrible, just terrible, kidding me.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: It was the worst.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Even the Dan Wilson challenge was a terrible challenge. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: mean we were over they were perfect. I mean we
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that can't happen. Nope, you gotta be right once, really nice.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: We have three challenges now, up to three challenges that
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: can be used. Can we get one of them right
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in a game?
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: If not, I think we should just not be allowed
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: to use him. Take all the privileges away Dan Wilson.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: He'll always have his players backs, and so I'm not
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: expecting him to say much juicy after yesterday's game.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Not much consistently on offense today, you know, to get
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: the ball rolling. You know, we did a good job
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: of getting on the board early and to just start
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: the scoring, but then just not able to kind of
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: consistently get guys on base and get the traffic going
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: and get him in and you know, give a little
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: credit to you know, to the U. I thought he
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: threw the ball very well. He moved it in and out,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: changed speed, you know, indeed what it. You know, he's
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: he's good at and and we just weren't able to
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: solve it offensively. And then you know, louis just really
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: the one tough ending there in the fourth after we scored,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: you know, they came right back and and uh, you know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: loaded the bases obviously, and and got a couple across there.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: But you know, I thought the bullpen came in through
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: through the ball pretty well, you know, Nick de Davila, Davola,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: you know, major league debut. Uh, you know, great to
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: see him out there, and and uh, you know, getting
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: the score with.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: In man.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: When he says like, you know, we just weren't able
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: to really get a lot of people.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: On move runners along. I feel like that's pretty important
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: to be able to do.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Look, look, he's he's just not gonna get fiery. He's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: just not And he's never gonna turn anybody out. He's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: not gonna never gonna throw anybody under the bus, not publicly.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he conducts himself, but the team
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: didn't seem like it wanted to play baseball yesterday after
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that sloppy ass circus that we watched on Saturday. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what happens behind the scenes.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I know that the players all like him, and for
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: the reasons that I just stated, he stays even keel.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: He always has their backs. You know, there's a good
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: personal relationship with Dan Wilson and everybody on the team.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: As I said in the first hour. But as a fan,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you're just like, is there a way to just say
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: we got to be better?
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, no, it's not insulting to your players.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not. I'm not the type of manager that's
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: going to throw people under the bus. But what we
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: watched this weekend is just not acceptable. It was that
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: was bad baseball, and we're not a bad baseball team,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and we've got to be better, and we're gonna do
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: everything we can to make sure that a weekend like
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: this doesn't happen again for the rest of the year,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: because that was gross. Is there anything wrong with that?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Everything you said right there? He still has his players backs.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: He's not calling anyone out individually, right he's just saying everyone,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: including himself, needs to be better. No, there is nothing
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: wrong with that, and I would prefer to hear that.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Instead, it's three games we watched you play terribly
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. We gave back any momentum that we
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: had for the first time this season, and you're just
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just tired of watching the shoulder shrug and that's
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: just baseball.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, and look, we did do this well, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: we did do this well.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, but if you're going to call out the things
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: you did, well, call out the things you sucked at.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: And even if you don't do that, just generally we
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: ought to be better. Yes, No, that's not good enough.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not what we know we're capable of. Yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that's it. It was. But I guess that's just what
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get. That's just who he's going to be.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it would be nice to see a little
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: bit of fire. I mean, there were a couple of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: things to argue, he argued. We talked about last week.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: There was a favor the home played Umpire was trying
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to do the Marriagers, and he was more pissed about
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the delay on a challenge than he was about the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: five to six things, including the interference call that took
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: place this weekend that you probably should have got kicked
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: out of the game for. If nothing else, just a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: light of fire under your own point something Logan Gilbert
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Tonight JR. Ritchie the local kid pitching for the Atlanta Braves.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: First pitch is at six point forty. We will have
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: a Braves preview coming your way later on in the
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: show coming up next, though, Man, there have been a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: lot of upsets in the first round of the playoff season,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: including one that nobody saw coming but maybe we should have.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about the Sixers knocking out the Celtics next
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. You love
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a good miter saw.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, safe to say, haven't really thought about one
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: in a while.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Sam never thought of one, Like of.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: A pickup line too number of times at Scottsdale Bars,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: like you look like a lady that loves a man
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: who's great with a miter saw.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: And then you were like, that's not me, but I
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: know a guy.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my buddy. Yeah over there, Brent, Brent.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Rachel hand, he's got that thing.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no, no, no, the one with four fingers. Yeah,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: remember the miner so yeah yeah, telling her yeah, love
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: you ladies. Love a man who knows how to work
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a miter saw. That is the probably do it is truth,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: truth behind it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: It's so five iron got me.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I imagine, imagine that's how every woman has been gotten. Good morning,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you. We've got a laugh or we'll
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: cry over our baseball team. We'll get back into that
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: topic a little bit later on in the show. Coming
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: up at seven oh five. Greg Bell's going to join us.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: He was at our Eyes and Ears at Rookie mini
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: camp on Friday and Saturday. Lot of people talking about
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Jadarian Price over the weekend already, so we'll get into
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that with Greg Bell or Seahawks Insiders seven oh five.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: But certainly we're really getting into the playoff flow now.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that really starts the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: beginning until you start getting eliminations and now all of
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a sudden, it feels like a tournament and having game
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: sevens take place over the weekend, which is wonderful, But man,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I think there are more upsets than either league feels
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: comfortable with. I didn't think there was going to be
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: a single one in the NBA. Kind of thought all
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of the NHL would be first round upsets because that happens.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: But I didn't think there's gonna be one single upset
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: in the NBA in the first round. Instead, we have
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: two major ones. Denver falling out and then on Saturday,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics getting knocked out of the playoffs, the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: news that Jamal excuse me, Jason Tatum was not going
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to be available for Game seven. I mean, we saw
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the injury in game number six. I didn't dream that
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: he wasn't going to play in Game number seven, so
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: that was big news. And then just to watch the game,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know. Maybe it's not that
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: big of an upset. It's an upset because of the
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: way the two teams played during the regular season. The
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Celtics kind of overachieved without Tatum all season long, and
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: then they got Tatum back. Meanwhile, Philadelphia seems like they
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: never have Joel Embiid for more than a couple of weeks,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and usually at this time of the year, he's so
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: broken down, his body is so broken down that we
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: don't get a great version of Joel Embiid in the playoffs,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: but he looks great right now. Paul George is healthy.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: They've got the fast this backcourt in NBA history practically.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are some things about that team win healthy,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: that are very difficult to match up with. And that's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: what the NBA playoffs are all about, our matchups. And
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: suddenly the Philadelphia seventy six ers look real. As a
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, I think they're gonna be the Knicks.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to the finals as long as
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: they stay healthy, because I was not imagining a Philadelphia
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: team because I've never seen one in recent years that
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: had a healthy Joel Embiid for the playoffs, had a
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: healthy Paul George for the playoffs, and have now experienced
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: hard to match up with backcourt that they're going to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: be able to use, plus a coach that has an
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: NBA championship under his belt. I don't know if it
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: was that big of an upset by the way that
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: that series started to unfold. I mean, it just kept
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: looking more and more like Philadelphia is just the better team.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: This isn't the Boston's choking Boston. Really, if they don't
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: make threes, they don't win basketball games, and Philadelphia can
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: play defense, they can beat you inside, they can beat
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you outside, and they can certainly beat you in the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: full in a game of a run game. And so
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if Philadelphia doesn't end up going all the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: way to the finals, where they will then get smoked
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: by Okay see.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Here, probably yeah, yeah, that's probably what's gonna happen. But yeah,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I was surprised, but mostly because I don't watch a
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: lot of the regular season in the NBA, so all
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I knew was, you know, looking at the seeds and
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: looking at where they're at and thinking, okay, well this
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: isn't gonna be you know, Boston's favorite.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: They're gonna probably pull this off.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: And then when it's going into a game seven, I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: was nervous, but I still thought, oh, they've got this.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: And then they didn't got this.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Oh they didn't got this, that's for sure. I mean,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia could play now, it's just nobody. You just kind
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: of expect that they get to the playoffs and you're
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: gonna have to watch Joel embiid limp for five games
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: and then they get ousted and and and so on,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: and then the can we win with embiid conversation starts
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: all over again. But if he's healthy and George is healthy,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and that backward is the real deal and Ubre can defend, Uh,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia is very dangerous going forward. So in
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: a way, pleasantly surprised that we've got a little bit
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: of drama in the NBA Playoffs. At this point, I'm
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: still sort of the older I get the fewer upsets
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: that I like, And yet this has kind of shaken
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: things up a little bit. And and maybe it's gonna
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: be a little more interesting. Uh, maybe there's more doubt
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: than what we thought before the playoffs began. But two
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: more games tonight. Philadelphia, New York do start tonight, so
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: do San Antonio and Minnesota. But the second round is
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: now officially set in the NBA Playoffs. We'll go gone
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: fishing a little later on in the show coming up
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: next though. Headlines in Greg Bell on kJ R
