• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Pialle. Still
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: no Bucky Jacobson out for a little while longer. He
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: is on extended medical leave. Nothing serious going on there.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless we are without Bucky for a few more days,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and so we welcome you into this four our radio extravaganza.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I think people were channeling
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: there in her Bucky in the office. I ran by
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that Bender and that Jody.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah I heard of them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You have you heard of them? Yeah? Not very nice people,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: no real jerks, right, And she said, is it is
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: anybody filling in for Bucky with you? Or is it
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you and Astley? And she's like, don't tell her. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: called her Astley and I said, all you were doing
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: is channeling your inner coach Bucky. That's all you were doing. Yeah, yep,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it was. You were thinking of Rick Astley, you were
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: thinking of other famous genders, and that's what came out.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: You just subconsciously called her Rick Astley when it's no
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: big deal. Happens all the time.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Happens all the time. I will say, I think I
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: got called Asley last week, did you? Yes, I don't remember.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: That's not the first time that's happened. But the person
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: that did it thought they were very funny.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And I was like, was it Jodie, because now she's
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: been a serial namer, Then that's the case.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I don't think it. Okay, I don't remember, but yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: it's been I mean, yeah, nothing new. Yeah, I've never
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: been called the great Rick Astley though. That's pretty exciting.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she said Asley, it was Asley. Oh you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: were just trying and I was trying to make everybody
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: feel better.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: It might have been her life.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Asley, I just think she was thinking of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Rick Astley and and that's how that came out. Plus,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Bender's like out there just staring at the pipes, like
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: do you hear that. I don't know if he's lost
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: his marbles. Well, but with all of the Generator's stuff
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and we still don't have our electricity back. When a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: guy as smart as Bender is staring at the pipes
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and wanting me to listen to them, and even though
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm completely ignorant and have no idea what I'm listening for. Uh,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and I don't even know why he wants me to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: listen to them. That's how ignorant I am when it
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: comes to this stuff. I'm like, I got to pay
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: attention to that. He might be telling me something that's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: important to you and I and are well being well
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and especially for the show.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, we've had the power go out in the
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: middle of interviews the last couple of weeks, we've had
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: trouble getting on the air. Yeah, I mean I heard
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: the how loud the fans were down in the garage
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: this morning, were very loud.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know if he's onto something, if
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he was trying to warn us, I was trying to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: pay attention. And then I'm like, for the betterment of Astley, yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: get on the air. Yeah, I better figure this out
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: because this might be some valuable information that Bender knows about.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: He might know, he might have done some duct work
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in the past. I have no idea.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't put it past him. That day is a
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: jack of all trades. So we kids in all music genres,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: we could.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I honestly, I'm I was so ignorant in the moment,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and I just don't get this sort of thing. You know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: He's talking to me, and I'm thinking JP Crawford, Homer,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: JP Crawford Homer. Great, that's what I'm thinking in my head,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and how I'm going to talk about this game. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: he's talking to me, and I'm like, you're probably saying
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: something more important right now, and I'm gonna try to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: grasp what that is while I grab this cup of water.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But I really don't know if you're saying that's a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: good sound.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Or a bad sound. Okay, I have to break. I'm
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: gonna go listen to the pipes too, and then I'll
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: make a decision on if it sounds good or bad.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Then we'll ask Bender, Hey, so did you hear a
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: good sound or a bad sound? And if I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: it's bad, am he thinks it's bad, we're host.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: We had a new segment called ask Bender, Ask Bender, Yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: because I have a feeling he knows a lot. I mean,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I'm a pretty smart guy, but all of my intelligence
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: is poured into certain specific things. I don't I don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: really cover the board. That's fair where Bender might he
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: might have that that talent again, a lot of stuff.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: He just seems to know a lot about a lot.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I'm wondering.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a skill.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He's looking at me like, hey, here's another man. He
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: knows exactly what I'm getting at. Listen to those pipes. Uh,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not quite, but that was implied. The grunt was employed,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: so I think he was trying to get me to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: also hear what he's hearing, and I frankly did not
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: know what he was trying to get at. So we're
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: either on the verge of meltdown blow up like the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: whole building's going to blow up, or maybe things.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Have righted themselves a normal.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's no middle area.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm I'm just glad he didn't walk up to
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: you still kind of in the Draftmas spirit and go.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Do you hear what I hear? Because and you would
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: have had to be like, you know what draft miss
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: is over?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: If he would have done that, I probably would have
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: known what he's talking about.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Probably could have run with that. But as it turns out,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just in a fog right now.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Sorry about that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: One thousand dollars could be yours. Grand Slam cash is
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: on the line every hour of every day and apparently
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: for the rest of time. When is your keyword today?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Enter it at ninety three to three kjar dot com
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: for a shot at one thousand dollars. That's win at
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: ninety three to three kjar dot com used in a sentence,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: how about that the Mariner's got a win last.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Night, and a very unprobable one.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: After seeing solo home run after solo home run after
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: solo home.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Run, did not not feel like like the darkness, like, yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it was silence is what it felt like. Top of
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the sixth the Braves had just hit three solo home
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: runs off of Logan Gilbert and it was four to nothing.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: The offense hadn't done anything against a rookie pitcher from
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Bainbridge who was trying to give us because I have
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a feeling JR. Ritchie's precision often because he was trying
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to work the printer. But you know, I don't know
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: if it was the energy, yeah, and maybe the adrenaline
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: war off of pitching at home and then all of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you're not as fine as you want to be.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But you could tell he was trying to work the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: fringes like we've talked about in the past, and he
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: was missing considerably from the second inning on. I mean,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: he walks six guys. I have a feeling J. Ro
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Richie's not going to do a lot of that in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: his career. So he walks six guys and we can't
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: take advantage of it, and it once again just feels lifeless.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, he got all those people on a beautiful
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: night in Seattle and one of the most beautiful stadiums
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in American professional sports, and it felt like a morgue.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And the top of the sixth inning, the only light
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that I saw was clearly the ball is traveling, because
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think Ozzie Albi's got either one of his,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and he almost hit one out the opposite way his
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: previous at bat, and then he hits another home run.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Then he does hit one in the sixth a home run,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and then Matt Olsen hits a home run, and I'm
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: not sure He's a big, strong dude, but I'm not
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: sure he even got it. Riley got his, Kiley crush his,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: but I'm like, man, the ball is traveling. If we
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: could just get a ball in the air, when because
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Richie's get it allowing us to get on base, can
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we just get a ball in the air. And then
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: sure enough, we get the two home runs in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: bottom of the sixth to take a five to four
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: lead and held on. So we'll get into the details
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: of that with Mariner's morning after, but just the feeling
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of it was, man, I mean, this is this is terrible,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Like we are sunk.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: It felt real dark there is It just.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Felt like there's no chance and then all of a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: sudden and this team does this, you know, as frustrating
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: as they are during a very successful Jerry Depoto era, like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: we win games, we win every year, at least win
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: more than we lose. But there's always this stretch of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I can't figure out why this team can't put it together.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And then there's always this moment of just when you
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: thought that the arm was limp and it wasn't going
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to be able to pick itself up, and you were
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: about at the three count and they were going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: wonder if you were ever going to walk the same again,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: what happens they come alive at the most improbable moment, Yes,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: that you could imagine. I mean, we are at thirty
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: six games into the season. It never felt lower than
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: it did going into the bottom of the sixth. It
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: never felt less likely we were going to come back
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and win a game. And in the sixth inning, for
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: whatever reason, a bunch of walks and two really key
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: home runs and the Mariners win. Yeah. Crazy.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: It felt like if we were going to do anything,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: it was going to be, oh, we'll get a run
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: back in the sixth, then maybe we'll get some runners
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: on in the seventh. You know, we were gonna make
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: it so that we still had a chance, but in
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: the end it was going to be you know, some
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: striking out the bottom of the ninth game over. That's
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: how it felt like it was after those home runs,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: like you were like, oh great, I'm still gonna watch this, yeah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: and I'm gonna end up disappointed because that's just what happened.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it felt like the wind meter could it
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: was just empty. Yeah, and that at that point in
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the game. And it even ties into you know, when
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: we did get traffic on early and you hit you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor hits a seed and of course the first
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: baseman standing there and gets a double play, and then
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Naylor gets on base and then a Rose Arena of
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: course grounds into a double play, which he rarely does.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And it's like, this is this is just one of
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: those games. This is the formula. You're going to lose
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: this game. This team's down three starters offensively right now,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: well two and a half starters right now. Offensively. We're
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: down two pieces, major pieces in the bullpen. We have
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: starting pitchers that have been really good so far this year,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: but we still have this thing that we've got to
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: fix and the starting rotation, and we need to do
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: it and it's gonna have to happen soon. And it
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: just felt like that you gotta be kidding me. Yeah,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: it really felt like the this is happening again, isn't it?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: That we're going to create some nine games under five
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: hundred hole. We're gonna be starting June seven and a
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: half games out, and we're gonna need one of those
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: twenty three and five August to come out of it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: It's gonna happen again, isn't it. And we're gonna be
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: put through this garbage once again, and then somehow miraculously
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: because it is the sport of baseball, and it certainly
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: is Mariners baseball, and it certainly is Jerry Depoto's Mariners baseball.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: They come alive at the most improbable time and pull
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: something out and incredible.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, and especially to see JP come through with
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: that home run, because I just when he got out there,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I was like, please, don't swing out of your ass.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: It's all I'm asking you to do. Just get on base.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean and for him to have come through,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, thank god, you did that. I
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: did not expect it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: It's on one hand, we really needed it. On the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: other end, it's probably not good for JP because once
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: he hits a home run for the next month. He
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: thinks he's a home run hitter, but he already was
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: swinging out of his ass on every pitch. Yeah, so
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you know, Bucky points this out a lot, and I
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: tried to point it out too, but you know, maybe
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: there's a little more muscle behind it when a former
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Major leaguer is telling you this. But it's okay every
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: once in a while, even a bean pole like JP Crawford,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: who has ten home run power in a season, it's
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: okay to every once in a while. You know, you're
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: in a situation, you're down one, got a chance to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: put the team up or down two, have a chance
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to tie things up, and you know you can reach
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the fences. And if you're ahead and the count two
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to oh, and you're feeling good and you've been seeing
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the ball late, go ahead and let it rip. Yeah,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: go ahead and have one of those swings. Even if
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: you're a ten homer guy that you know, you screw
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: yourself into the ground, your helmet flies off. So it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: okay to do, you know, do every once in a while.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: It's just the Jp Crawford does it wagh too much
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm not sure that was even the best situation
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: because he had a three to two count at the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: moment you've got Julio on deck. Maybe this is just
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: trying to fight to stay alive. And I don't know
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: if he Yeah, he took a pretty mighty cack, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: he tried to do it earlier in the game and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: he looked foolish, and then he does come through in
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that moment. So I think in the long run it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: probably doesn't benefit JP Crawford. I know I'm gonna I'll
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: say it more blatantly to that in the long run,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: it doesn't benefit JP Crawford or the team that he
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: thinks he's a home run hitter in the long run, Well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the occasion that he comes through, that was a pretty
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: good moment to connect last night, to put your team
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: up five to four, to kind of finish off that
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: rally and then leave it to your bullpen the rest
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: of the way. So it did pay off last night.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: But I think that it's that approach does more damage
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: than it does good. Maybe Bucky would argue three two.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that three to two count.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want to walk you, he doesn't want to
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: put another guy on You're probably gonna get a decent
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: pitch to hit, go ahead and go for it. Maybe
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Bucky would disagree, but I still think that that JP
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: is much better off. You ever play, you play slow
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: pitch softball, right, yeah, yeah, And there's always two or
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: three guys on well, if you've ever played, if you've
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: ever seen slow pitch softball, Usually if you're watching a
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: good team, they are like four or five guys that
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: can all homer yeah all right, and then and their
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: job is to swing for the fences every single time.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: And then there's always one or two guys that just
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: know how to arc the ball over the second baseman's head,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and they're getting on base every single time. Like the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: guys that hit home runs don't always hit the home runs,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: but the guys that just know how to arc it
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: over the second baseman are always coming through and they
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: are stars on their team. Now, I'm not comparing baseball
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: to slow pitch softball. Obviously a lot more difficult, but nonetheless,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just think JP Crawford is more suited
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to be a battler, to try to get his walks,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to try to put the ball in play. He's not
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the guy that should be swinging for the fences, and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: yet he does it a lot and he doesn't come
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: through most of the time. Last night it paid off
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and the Mariners win. Yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: And that pitch that he hit the home run on too,
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: I thought was like a classic one that he would
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: have swung and missed as well. It was that low inside.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, he stared at that pitch the first time
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: they threw it, and I thought, oh, that's that one
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: where he's gonna try to, you know, do too much
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: and he's just swinging and missing and not making contact.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: But boy, did he make contact.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well it came through last night. The perfect
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: world is congratulations, JP got the tried ent. You're the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: hitting hero tonight. Now tomorrow, I don't want you to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: be that guy. Yeah, tomorrow, tomorrow and for the rest
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: of the year. Let's let's folks, let's just stay within ourselves.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Let's just be JP.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, this man.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not cow, even when he's hurt and on
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the bench, Yeah, you're not cow.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get your tattoo says I'm not cow, so
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: you can read it on your thigh for every game.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: On your thigh.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: But last night it paid off, he hits the big
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: home run and the Mariners I'll end up winning it
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: by a final score of five Tofore more details on
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the game coming up in Mariners morning after which we
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: are not moving just yet and may not move at
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: all based off of the reaction that we got uh yesterday,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: but it's still in consideration. Let's find out what's on tap.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: What's on tip, what's on tep?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: All Right, Mariners win at five to four over the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves, who were the hottest team in Major League
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Baseball coming into town. I think it gets still argue
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that they are with their twenty five and eleven record.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Obviously they can hit the long ball, they had four
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: of them last night. But the Mariners do win and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: come from behind fashion, so they moved to seventeen and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: nineteen on the season. Same two teams will play this evening.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It will be Bryce elder going for the Atlanta Braids,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: a veteran right hander. His parents smelled of Elderberry and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: George Kirby goes for US six. Forty start Gabe Spier
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: was placed on the injury list yesterday. Cal Rawley has
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: still not been placed on the injury list, but he
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: has not played now in four games. I'm thinking we
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: won't see him until Friday at the earliest. I don't
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: know why you'd sit him out this long and then
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: not take advantage of having a couple days off, you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: a Wednesday day game, Yeah, and then not again until
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Friday night. So why would you insert him into the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: lineup if you've waited this long. But we shall see.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You never know what's going to happen. But right now
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: we're playing without cal Raley. Well, it's not as bad
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: as the Trek Schoobold news yesterday. For Detroit, arguably the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: best pitcher in the world is going to go under
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the knife. He has loose bodies in his pitching elbow,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: somebody that's had some serious injuries in the past. You
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: never really want to see that guy go under the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: knife at all. But the Detroit Tigers are going to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: be missing their ace for two to three months, it
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: sounds like. And it's shaken up a few things, certainly
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the cy Young. I mean, he's out of the cy
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Young race for this year. You can't miss three months
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: as a starting pitcher and stay in that So he's
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: completely off the board. In terms of the Vegas favorites
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: for Cy Young. It may have turned Detroit into a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: seller at the trading deadline. It may have turned Detroit
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: into a seller of Trek's Scooble at the trading deadline
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: because he is a free agent at the end of
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: this season. So we'll see. But that's bad news for
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the Detroits, who ended up losing last night.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and bad news for scoobl too.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, certainly. NBA Anthony Edwards decided, Hey, my knee's fine,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna play. He decided that it was good enough
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: to go for Game one of the Minnesota Timberwolves series
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: against the San Antonio Spurs. And in a world where
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Kevin Durant played one game in his series and Jason
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Tatum sat out Game seven of the Celtics series, you
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: can't really compare injuries. That's not fair, but we're gonna
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: do it anyway. Because Aunt Edwards didn't know if he
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: was gonna be able to play, but he decided let's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: give it a go. And because he said let's give
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: it a go, Timberwolves won the game. They I don't
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: think they were gonna win it without him, no, because
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: he kind of took over in the fourth quarter and
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the Timberwolves in a great basketball game. If you watched
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia game, in the New York game, Philadelphia New
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: York game, you went to bed saying, NBA shucks, I'll
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: never watched.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: It again, garbage basketball.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: But if you watched, if you would have taken the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: time to watch the other game, you're like, I can't
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: wait for the NBA playoffs tonight because it was fantastic
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: that game. So we'll talk a little bit more about
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: that coming up on the show. But the Wolves do
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: win one four to one oh two. Meanwhile, the nixt
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: one thirty seven ninety eight winners over the seventy six
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: ers last night. It was a little expected that the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Knicks are going to beat up on Philadelphia last night,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: just not to that degree. Tonight, Cleveland at Detroit, game
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: number one, Lakers at OKC, game number one of their
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: series Stanley Cup Playoffs. The caller, excuse me, The Carolina
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers last night in overtime by
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: a final score of three to two. You finally got
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: a goal from Seth Jarvis.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Finally, thanks Hurricanes.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we both have the Carolina Hurricanes' best goal scorers. Yeah,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and neither of them, despite the fact they keep winning,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: had scored a goal until last night. Seth Jarvis gets
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: a goal to send it into overtime and then the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Hurricanes win at three to two, so they're up two
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to zero in their series against Philadelphia. All Las Vegas
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: three one winners over Anaheim last night to start their series.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: We kind of all kind of I think we didn't
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: pick Las Vegas Golden Knights in our hockey preview led
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: by Everett by the way, but I think that we
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: were doing that with our hearts because we just don't
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: want to see them win night.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: I don't want to cheer for them. I want Anaheim
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to win this.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: But they're gonna win. Yeah, probably they're gonna win. And
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: it was kind of foolish that we didn't take none
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: of us took a Las Vegas Golden Knight and our
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Green Jet.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: That's the problem too, is I feel like they have
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: so many goalscorers. I just wouldn't have known where to go.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, worked out for me with them.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And then tonight Minnesota at Colorado, the Avalanche up one
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: to ohero I wouldn't expect fifteen goals. Take the under
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: if the under is fifteen goals take the other. Yeah,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: like there was in game number one, but tonight they'll
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: play at five o'clock game number two and they'll play
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: that one in Denver. So those are your headlines, brought
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: to you by Frost Brewed Corps Light. In terms of
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: what's on tap, Jed Fish is going to join us
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: today at eight o'clock, head coach of the Huskies. So
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: it's been just a couple of weeks since we last
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: spoke to him. We preview Dogs after Dark and now
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: we review Dogs after Dark. We'll get his thoughts on
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: what he thought about the crowd our lack thereof on
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Friday night and what they might do to adjust that
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: in the future. Also, Ryan Heaey joins us today at
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock. I think he's now cemented at nine o'clock
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on Tuesdays for those wondering, we've kind of floated him around,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: but he is ours every single week, and we got
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: a brand new sponsor and Dino's Pub and renting that
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: we can lock Ryan into the nine o'clock spot on
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Tuesdays for the rest of the year. So we're excited
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: about that, and it sounds like we're going to have
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the lock Mariners Morning After in at six point thirty
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: as well. But the gar the gears are turning, yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out how we're going to do this
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit differently, but it's not going to affect
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the six thirty segment, at least not for the foreseeable future.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: So we'll recap last night's Mariners win Mariners Morning After
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Box Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Some of you probably already know what's going because this
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: broke apparently while I was ranting a little bit earlier
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: about the Seahawks. But nonetheless, we do have some breaking news.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks have made a signing here today. This has
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: been rumored for quite some time, and it was made
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: official here this morning. I think Ashley was giving credit
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to Tom Pellasero for breaking it first, but certainly others
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: have been all over it, including our own Greig Bell.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: This morning. Dante Fowler Junior is now a Seahawk, agreeing
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to a one year, five million dollar contract. And so
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks do add that veteran edge rusher didn't get
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: one in the draft, and then we set it out
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: of the end of our draft coverage, we pointed it
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: out that that seemed to be an area that we
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: thought that they might pick up a piece. They didn't
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: didn't see the value once you got through day number two,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: where you're really gonna find what were the odds you
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: were going to find an edge rusher that was going
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: to contribute this year in rounds five on? Probably not great.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: So they obviously decided not to draft edge rusher on
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: day number three and then put all of their focus
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: on bringing in a veteran and they got that Dante
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Fowler junior one year contract, five million dollars for a
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: guy that two years ago with the Washington Commanders had
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: a ten sax season. He had ten and a half
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: sacks in twenty twenty four. This past year in thirteen
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: excuse me, seventeen games with the Cowboys, only had three.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So you know, you do run the risk a little
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: bit that he's already pushed well past his prime. But
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you're not looking for him to change your defense. You're
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: looking for him to be a piece.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he'd be part of a much better defense
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: than Yes, he was in Dallas.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, had no question about it. So so nice,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I mean Joey Bosa was another name that was being
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: thrown out there as well, but Dante Fowler was the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: one most rumored, and so the Seahawks grab Fowler on
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: a one year, five million dollar deal. This is somebody
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: that in twenty sixteen was the third overall pick in
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: the draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and so obviously there
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: was some considerable upside at one point. Maybe never did
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: live up to those lofty expectations, but still fifty eight
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and a half career sacks and here we are ten
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: years later. On one end, it's like, I can't believe
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: ten years have passed since Dante Fowler came in. Yeah.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: On the other hand, there's also this element of I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: can't believe Dante Fowler's only thirty one. So I'm kind
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of caught in this vortex of not believing the timeline.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I guess that time is weird.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It's that to you, especially football players. There's some guys
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: that you are sure, like, man, that guy's been in
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the league forever. How old is he? Twenty six? Yeah?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: So Dante Fowler Junior, thirty one years old, brought over
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: from the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent, so he
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: will add to that rotational depth and give you a
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: little bit of pass rushing experience there to team with
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Marcus Lawrence.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, I'm looking forward to Yeah.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go to the abcasons.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I took up some space there in that segment, but
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: we are at the end of the alphabet our guide
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: through a daily Mariners segment. Why and this is very
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: appropriate for what yesterday was. Why is for Yoda And
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I know everybody that watched
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the game picked up on this last night. I know
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: you saw it if you were watching the game intently,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: but maybe you didn't read into it as much as
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I did. And what kind of spirit it was pushing
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: forth not just into our universe, but into multiple universes. So,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Luke Raley hits the big three run homer. I know
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: JP got the home run to put us ahead last night,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: but I feel like Luke Rayley's home run was the
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: big hit last night kind of woke everything up, may
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: have been the biggest hit of the season so far.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you felt like if JP hadn't come to
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Luke Hauld put us in enough of a position that
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: we could still get it done.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: It's got a lot of time left to score one run.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But at the time you were down four. And at
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the time, I mean even Dave and Aaron were acknowledging
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: like it felt over, Like the place felt dead, the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: team felt dead. And and you know, once again, you
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: get guys on base and you're wondering, well, how's he
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: going to hit into a double play? Is he gonna
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: just line it off the pitcher's skull to second base
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: and then they're gonna triple us up? What's gonna happen next?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: How are we gonna how are we gonna hit our
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: way out of this? Yeah, this jam that the first
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: two hitters tried to create. Instead, he crushes one, crushes
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: one over the wall in right center field for a
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: three run homer. You're back in the game, and lo
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and behold, you end up winning a game where you
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: thought you were dead. And then the cameras showed before
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: after Rayley went through the whole trident ceremony, he circles back,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: he waits for Edgar to walk past him, and he
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: just gives him a big hunt at that point. Yeah,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and you know what happened is that Edgar and he's
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: got a way of doing this. Probably told Luke right
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: before the at bat, do this, look for this, and
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: jump all over it. That's what that hug was. Edgar
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: gave him a little bit of an advice probably that day,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: maybe before the at bat that allowed Luke to kind
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: of look at a specific area launched the three run homer.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: And that's why Luke went up to Edgar and he
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: hugged him, and Edgar walked away and he was just
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: kind of smiling, and I'm like, oh my gosh, on
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: may the fourth be with you? A guy named Luke
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: just took advice from an old sage who had mastered
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: the art of hitting when he was in his prime,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: and he hit a three run you know, laser beam
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: out of the ballpark and ends up being one of
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the biggest hits of the year. This is the most
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: May the fourth be with You moment in the history
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: of baseball. Luke asked advice from Yoda right before is
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: it Matt and saved the day. How about that?
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, I hadn't put that together, so I'm glad
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: you did. I imagine the advice was something like.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: It, I don't run you with rock fastball you do?
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: And then I'm not good at yoga. Yoda. I was
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: gonna say, yoga talk the cheese, you will, yes, celebrate,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: you will on it, you.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Will jump around the bases, you shall run.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: I think that was great advice. I'm glad that they
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: had that talk.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd well, uh. And then finally Zee, just to
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: round out the alphabet, Z is for zombies. And this
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: is another possibility. I mean, we're gonna go to the
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: science fiction route. Maybe we have to consider this because
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: this team looked dead, they looked at and yet somehow,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: some way out of nowhere, they come up with a
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: five run sixth inning and end up winning the game
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: five to four. And so maybe we were experiencing a
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: completely different sci fi movie last night. Maybe it was
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the Night of the Living Dead. Maybe JP Crawford and
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Luke Rayley really died from their lack of success in
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the fifth inning, rose back up in the sixth and
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: zombied us to the finals.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Whatever it takes, that's what I say. And I want
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: to cheer for a team that's willing to do.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Whatever it takes, whatever it takes, because that was I mean, look,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: we're living and dying with this way too early in
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the season, But it certainly I'm not gonna sit there
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: and tell you that I had any thought of, Oh no,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: they're in trouble. I mean, this is this season's just
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: not going the right way. They're in trouble. But what
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I did have after the three runs that Logan gave
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: up in the top six, I did have that experience.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: They're gonna do this to us again, aren't they? Like
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the most pronounced like, we're gonna We're going to suck
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: until the summer and then have to pull this thing
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: out with some radical July in August, when we clearly
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: have the best roster in the division and it doesn't
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: have to be this way. Why do they put us through?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: We're going we're going to lose this series. We're gonna
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: end up nine ten games under five hundred, and then
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have to spend the summer trying to dig
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: our way out of that, and it's just gonna be
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: cruel and unusual. And I do believe we will dig
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: out of it one way or the other. I do
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: believe this team will be crowned American League West champs
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year. I do believe they'll
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: be dangerous in the playoffs, and I do believe we've
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: still got this shot at the World Series. But my goodness,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I really thought this was gonna be a different year.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: I thought it wasn't gonna have to go down that
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: crappy road that we would have to somehow revive now
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: in the late summer and save the season. And I
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: did have that thought after the sixth inning. They're gonna
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: do it to us again, aren't they. We're gonna get
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: swept by the Atlanta Braves before we know, we're gonna
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: be nine games under five hundred, and we're going to
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: have to sit here and wring our guts for an
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: entire baseball season again, aren't we. Maybe Yoda and Luke
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and the Zombies saved us from that.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Last night, and thank goodness for that. What a great
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: movie that would make Yoda, Luke and Zombies all in one.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's but don't I mean, Star Wars will
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: never make too many movies.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: That's true, So I can't. Yeah, so sorry, I'll get
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: my mind out of the clouds. I mean, just wishful
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: thinking there would be another Star Wars anything.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: There's no way that Star Wars would take advantage of
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: its popularity and pump out franchise after franchise show after
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: show and water down.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: The problem anti Star Wars. That's like just not their.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Style, right exactly, So you know there are only three
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and let them live forever.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: That's right, all right?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Coming up next on the radio program, a very interesting
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: story sort of has emerged that Mary's College and the
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: NFL and then forgotten aspect of the offseason, which could
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: really be a prominent topic of discussion before the offseason
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: comes to a close. I'll tell you all about that
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: in next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. The
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: head coach of the U dow Husky's a football team
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: and also birthday boy Jed Fish is with us here
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: on Chuck and Buk. Good morning, sir, how are you?
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Happy birthday.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: I would not be joining you tomorrow morning, todaight am,
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: you know, as tonight's celebration might be a little bit
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: more fun, but yet I appreciate the birthday wishes on
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: the sink of the myo theme as well.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, did you incorporate the two when you
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: were at Arizona? And do you still do it to
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: this day? Like do you put a big candle in
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: like an enchilada or anything like that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: I do incorporate the two. I usually do a candle
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: in the case out. I'm a big case so guys,
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: so it's a good bye ca So I have a
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: nice little candle right next to it.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Always were you greeted this morning with birthday wishes like
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: breakfast in bed, anything special today for you?
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: I had plenty of birthday wishes. They amber and the
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: girls left yesterday. We were here all weekends celebrating, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: I am excited to enjoy my birthday today at the office.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see with Margarita's sure later in the day.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll call you at six am tomorrow and
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: see how you're doing.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: How does that sound perfect?
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Jedfish is with us, the birthday boy himself here on
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the morning. Well, I'm glad you
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: spend a few minutes with us. We greatly appreciate it
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: here on your big day and of course Friday night
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: big day with dogs after dark. I want to start
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: with this, let's get it out of the way. But
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of talk about the disappointing crowd.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: How did you react to the numbers that showed up
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: on Friday night.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wasn't disappointed at all. I thought for a
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: spring game, it was a great crowd. You know, I'm
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: hopeful get to a place where, you know, the whole
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: lower Bawl and people go up top for a spring game.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: But I think it's hard to get that sort of
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: motivation anymore. But we're going to always continue to put
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: on a game as long as we can. And I
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: thought that for a spring game that was that was
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: a good turnout.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: All right, good? Are you Are you considering adjusting it
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: at all in the future. There were some we talked
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: about a little bit yesterday. Some people said just on
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: a Friday, making that drive going into Friday night traffic.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: It was just something that kind of talked me out
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: of it. Is there any thought about maybe doing it
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Saturday in the future or just adjusting the schedule at all.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I think the problem was, you know, back when
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: I first got hired here three years ago, the plan
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: was to do it on a Saturday at noon, is
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: what we did at Arizona or at the last you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: but the Windowmere Cup was Saturday at noon, so you
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: can't do it on that Saturday and then to adjustice schedule.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: To do it the week before becomes a little more
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: complicated because we're a quarter school and I like a
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: certain rhythm of practice and I don't like to take
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: a break between practice and spring break and then come back.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: So the way you can get five weeks in and
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: three days a week, it's always going to fall on
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: the Friday night of Windowmere Cup. So you know, that's
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: kind of how it's been going. Now, if things change
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: in regards to the rules, which they change every year
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: and the calendar, you know, then we'll make more of
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: an adjustment. But I was happy. I thought that there
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: was a good feel, a good vibe spring practice. It's
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: kind of what I was expecting, I know, you know,
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: it kind of got I love the fact that the
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: standards changed. I think when I got here, they said
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: about six hundred people used to come to the spring game. Yeah,
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: so the fact that you know, we could have that
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: many thousands of people and then we still are looking
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: for more is pretty awesome.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Jeed Fish, that's good to hear a head
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: coach of the Washington Huskies football program joining us here
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: this morning. So, from a football standpoint, what did you
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: see on Friday. I mean, did you feel like you
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: got everything you wanted to get out of it in
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: terms of the practice the game itself.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean for me, the Spring game is
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: really for the families of our players and for the
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: players themselves, and it's also for the fans to just
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: be able to see all the different and all the
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: different kids that are here. We split the teams up
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: in half. We don't ever go ones versus ones in
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: the Spring Game. The teams aren't you know, completely shifted around.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: So you know, I don't use it as an evaluation
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: at all, just because there's really no one that's ever
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: run with anybody. The whole spring are now running together
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: and that's challenging. So I use it more for opportunities
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: to make sure that all eighty seven or well we
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: had eighty seven players were capable of getting in the game,
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: got in the game, and everybody that's willing and able
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: to participate participate. And then if we could have some
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: fun along the way, that's great. Give coaches a chance
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: that that don't usually call the game, call the game
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: and make it fun.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: And you achieved it. You had fun for it.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I had a laugh. I thought that. I mean,
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: all the feedback we got was great. Our kids were happy,
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: our parents. You know, you got some parents that are
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: flying all the way across the country, you know, and
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: they're kids, a true freshmen or whatnot. So the ability
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: to get them in front of a crowd and play
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: some ball in that uniform is a big deal. You know.
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: I see so many programs going to this like Carnival
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: atmosphere where they're just like barely touching each other and
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: you know, doing a bunch of drill work, Like that's
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: not really for me, right, that's what for practice. But
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: if you're going to fly across the country, we're gonna
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: have a parent's weekend, you might as well see your
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: son ripped the ball around a little bit, or catch
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: the ball over the middle, or block somebody.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Did you have somebody that did something that was eye
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: opening a run or a pass play or a pass
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: rusher or anything that did catch your eye on Friday night?
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: Well, I think Rashid Williams is just continuing to have
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: the best spring that he's had since we've been here.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: And you know, he made three really good catches in
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: the game, and you know, it's sometimes a little bit
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: pressure pack when you're running wide open and you get
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: a ball throwing fifty yards down the field, and I
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: thought it just really has handled himself really well this
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: whole spring. So that was fun to see. I thought that,
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: you know, we've got like easy Tokyo had a nice
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: night at number forty. I thought that I love the
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: guys like Jacob Manu, who's been in you know, five
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: spring games with me, is still you know, playing as
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: hard as he possibly can in the ten reps of
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: the AD.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: I just thought that everybody had a good good moments
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: at bad moments and learned moments they could learn from.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Jetfishes with us. He's taking time away from birthday cake
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: and truros to celebrate with us here on Chucking Buck
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: in the mornings to talk some U dub football. So
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen days until the college football season begins.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: So you're a long way away. Uh what has to
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: get accomplished for Jed Fish here in the next three
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: and a half four months to get you ready for
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: the start of the season.
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: Oh boy, Well, everything is, uh is it needs to improve.
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: Everything needs to improve, and we need to get you
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: know a little bit faster, a little bit stronger. We
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: got to get healthier. We had you know, we had
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: ten guys that were out for all of spring due
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: to surgeries from the off season. We could get all
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: ten of those guys back. So that'll really add to,
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: you know, to our ability to training camp. I'd love
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: to see, you know, everybody take that next step in
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: terms of understanding the system. You know, we play with
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: a lot of young guys because of the way our
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: roster is built. So the whole summer they're going to
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: have to learn the playbook better, less mistakes and you know,
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: more of more Chris practices. But that's what the summers for,
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: and that's what training camps for.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Are you still I mean? And when it comes to demand,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: what did you see out of him on Friday and
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: and what is it in terms of his cohesion with
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: a bunch of new faces that is the key to
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: having him get off to a great start this year.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, he's continuing to evolve as
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: a player. I let him be the play caller for
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: the third quarter and that was fun watching what plays
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: he chose and drove him down and scored a touchdown
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: with Keeni, So that was that was cool. I think
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: that you know, he needs to Christian Moss really didn't
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: participate in springball. Chris Laws and barely participated. Jordan Clay
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: missed the last eight practices you start, you know, Bob
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: ten Miller had about four practices and that's it. So
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: we got four wide receivers that we got to get
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: on the same page.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Tight ends.
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: We've got to continue to get better there with Decker
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: and Company and Baron Naoni and you know, these guys
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: are ones that you know just finishes true freshman year.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: Roebuck is you know now in the slot. The offensive
• 43:25
  Speaker 7: line is pretty you know, veteran, but Cody's the first
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: first year player, so he's got to get a good
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: comfort level with him. So I think there's a lot
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: of different avenues we gotta go. We got to find
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: a running back right now. You know, we have Jaden
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: Lamar who's been in a boot. He's finally out.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Of the boot.
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: He'll be practicing starting in June. Trey Cooley won't be
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: cleared probably to August. Brian Bonner. You know, we got
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: to see what Quaid car you know, more and more
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: routs with Quaid. We got to see if Jordan Washington
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: to come back. So there's a lot of work to
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: be had here that really affects the outcome for how
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: well demand plays.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Now Cody is is he locked in at left tackle
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: at this point? And then beyond that, what do you
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: have to see? I mean, I know Jordan Clay gets
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of attention right now and a few other freshmen,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: but what is it that Jedfish needs to see out
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: of a freshman before he's earned quality playing time in
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: his program.
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: I got to see that they don't look like a freshman.
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: I got to see that they're capable of being able
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: to handle a fourth year player that they have their
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: anxiety level is low and their talent level is high.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: And then also be able to see that they can
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: be consistent in their actions. You know, right now, I
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: see that out of Cody, I see that out of
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Derek Brusa. I'm beginning to see that out of Bramzach Frewin.
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: I see that out of Jaron Jones. You know, those
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: are the four guys right now that I see ye
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: that are consistent in their actions, that can handle being
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: a freshman and playing in the Big Ten. You know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: So Cody, Derek rams, Jaron, and then we got to
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: see who else steps in that same scenarios.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Jet Fish is with us right here on that chucking
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: buck in the morning, coming off dogs after dark on Friday,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: and still a long way away from the start of
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: the college football season. But obviously a lot of work
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: to do on that front. And so what is next?
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: What is next on your events that you have to
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: participate in this offseason because you're not going to have
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: another spring game, So what are you preparing for next? Coach?
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so all of our coaches are out on the
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: road recruiting for the next fourteen days, and I'm on
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: the fundraising campaign. Okay, So I'm all all over the

  Speaker 7: some camps for all the local community. We'll have a
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: couple of camps for kids to come to, and then
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: we'll take a little break of the action in the
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: first three weeks of July, and then we'll get back
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: to it and then see how good we could become
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: as you know, as a team in our third year.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: All right, sounds great. Well, thank you very much for
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: joining us here this morning. I hope that I hope
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: you just have the greatest birthday in the world. You know,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: maybe thank you, Yeah, maybe you know. Jonah Coleman comes
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: back to surprise you, jumps out of a cake or
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: something for you, and that'd be great for you. So
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: have a great time with it at all. I'm hoping
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that's existing exactly. I figured. Yeah, it's surprises, that's what
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: it's all about on a birthday. So have a great
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: birthday and we'll talk to you soon. All right, all right, yes,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Jetfish joining us right here on the program as the
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Washington Huskies wrapped up dogs after dark, and he's got
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: a big birthday coming up. How about that? The guy
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that has everything? What else is?
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: I also think that somehow it works out that we
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: have talked to him at least this is the second
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: year in a row that.
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: We've talked to him on his birthday.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and do you think he just likes being part
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: of our life.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: I think he thinks, how can I celebrate my birthday?
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: That will make it really special. I want to start
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: off the morning with Chuck and Buck and Ashley.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if I would give ourselves that
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: much credit, but I'll say this, this is a fact.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: He doesn't think we take away from his birthday.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, I mean, Jetfish could easily tell us bug off,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: it's my birthday. Yeah. He could tell us bug off,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: it's not my birthday. Yeah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: And the only reason I remember is because of the
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: Sinko Demio thing, because we've had conversations with him about
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: holidays and Cinco Demaiyo is his favorite because it's his birthday.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: Mmmm.
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: And I think we talked to him either last year
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: or the year before on his birthday as well.
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Sinco Demio in Arizona is just a completely different experien Oh,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sure so if he I mean, have you celebrated
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Sinco Demio much here?
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: I mean like going out for tacos and Margarita's that's
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but never like to do a concert.
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that happens all the time in Phoenix. Now,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I haven't spent much time in Tucson where Jed was
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: hanging out. But in Arizona, I mean it is like,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: stop what you're doing. If you don't have Cinco DeMaio plans,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: you're a loser.
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: Oh you know that.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Sort of thing. So it's just a completely different experience
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: down there. So, you know, Jed living in Florida, I
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what it's like in Florida. Maybe when he
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: got to Arizona, Oh, suddenly I have to attach myself
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: to Cinco Demil. My birthday falls on the fifth, so
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I have to attach myself to Cinco de Mayo. And
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: now now it sounds like he willingly like it took
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: his birthday celebrations to a whole new level.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, I love that he was like, I'm glad
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: we're not talking tomorrow, or we wouldn't be talking tomorrow
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: because tonight's gonna be a lot more fun.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: I'm like, thank you for being honest.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: That'd be the same one.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean think about it. I mean, as long
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: as you like it, as long as you're just not
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: one like my sister, like I'm born on December twenty ninth,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: and it's too close to Christmas and nobody pays attention
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: to me as long as you don't carry that kind
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: of powdy. I can't believe my birthday's on the same
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: day as Cinko Tomyo and everybody wants to just have Margarita's.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: And I hate Margarita's. If you kind of embrace it
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: and view it as and it sounds like jeded does
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: you just view it as, Oh man, I don't have
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: to think about any kind of a menu or anything.
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: And everyone's up for a little bit of a get together.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everything's already mapped out for me. I'm
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: drinking Margarita's tonight. I'm having a churro with the you know,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: with a candle in it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: I do love a true candle in the caso though.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Right, And so I think that it sounds like he's
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: learned to embrace the two coming together. And I think
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: that'd be a pretty fun holiday to have my birthday on.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I agree Cinco to Chucko.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: That doesn't have the same ring to it though, not
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: to you, no.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: But to me. I can already picture it on all
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: the banners.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: I think you should just start.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I could picture myself going to Caractice and it
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: just says Sinco to Chucko.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: About just Quatro to Chucko just starts making your own
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: birthday celebration.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: That's true, but that yeah, but don't we all have
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to do.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: I'm on the fifteenth. I can't do that. That doesn't even.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you just create your own though, yeah, according to
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: what you're saying, yeah, create your own holiday around it.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: But you're I'm going to infiltrate a real holiday.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: But I'm saying you could something I've never done before.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah never, You've never like just blonned onto another holiday
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: and try to make it a big thing. Right, But
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: like Sinco to Checko or to chuck O works, I
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: can't be like ash Leo.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you mean.
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: So it works for you?
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, Well anyway.
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to celebrate Quatro to chuck O.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Well, well, I'm not sure what we're going to serve
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: just yet.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: Is that time to think about it?
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Because it sounds like everybody will already. I mean Quatro
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: to Chucko would be the day before right, yeah? Yeah,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: so I mean I guess I could ruin everybody's appetite
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: fors and still sell Mexican food not sell but have
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: it it. Yeah, I think it's that seems unfair because
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: now I got now people got to do two days
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: in a row.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, although, yeah.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I could go anywhere if I do it
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: on another day and pretty much go anywhere I thought
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: I was thinking. The beauty of it was is that
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: the menu was already taking care of.
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: Well, and I think you could still. Yeah, if you're going,
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: the menu's taking care of if you go to Quatro.
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: But you could do Sinco because how old are you
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: going to be this year? I'm going to be the
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: double nickel this ye yeah, see so that's two that's right,
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: So you really could go Sinco to check out.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could. And by the way, I did appreciate
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know if this is
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: protecting the programmer what. But to ask Jed about the
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: the attendance on Friday and not only you know, I
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: kind of thought I was gonna get Yeah, I was
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: a little disappointing, but this is you know, I understand why,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: and this is what we're gonna do. But for him
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: to say I was actually really liked the atmosphere. I
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it I thought we had a good turnout, and
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. I think when people throw out
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: an expectation of forty thousand, yeah, and you hear that
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: and then it ends up being fifteen, it looks like
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: an utter disaster. Right, So I don't even know where
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: the forty thousand number even came from, And maybe it
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: came from Jed for all I know, But that looks
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: like a disaster. If you put it next to an
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: LSU spring game or Alabama spring game, it's gonna look
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: like there's no way around it. It's going to just
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: pale in comparison to that. But for Jed's response to be,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know what all the hubbub is about. I
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: was happy with the way Friday. I love the energy,
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I loved the event, and certainly there wasn't much to
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: take away from it from a football standpoint. It was
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: more of just an opportunity to, you know, let the
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: players kind of play in front of some fans. Yeah,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: families get invited, you know, fans get a little taste
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: of what's coming up for the upcoming year. But they're obviously,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: you know, not solving a lot of questions at the
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: spring game at this point, so I was a little surprised.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: I kind of thought I was going to hear Yeah.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I was a little disappointing, and I think maybe we
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: could do this in the future to change it up
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit. But he sounded somebody that was content
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: with what went down on Friday.
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and also his explanations for why they couldn't
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: put it on a Saturday or the way it works out, well,
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: it makes a lot of sense that it works out
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: that way. We did get a text on the Tacoma
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: Dodge text line from two o six. He said, I
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: like Jed, He's good for the program. Also, he's right
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: about the spring game. The crowd was pretty energetic on
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: Friday night. It wasn't the biggest crowd, but they were
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: definitely cheering.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right. Coming up next, Greg Bell's going
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: to join us. We sent out the Bell signal. We
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: have a Seahawks signing today. We'll get his thoughts on
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Dante Fowler Junior Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: Brought to you by Copola Diamond Collection, Prosecco, Chris Sparkling
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: with bright Fruit flavors to make every toast shine Game
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco. Now with twalk
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: Man News. Here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bike breaking
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: news earlier in the show. The Seahawks that made a
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: signing today. They added Dante Fowler Junior, something that we've
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: been discussing with our next guest for a while now,
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: and now I suppose it has been made official that
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Dante Fowler is joining the Seahawk So we.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Sent out the bell signal. He's going to be on
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: at ten o'clock today talking about this, I'm sure, but
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: joining us now to give us what he's heard. Is
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: our Seahawks insider Greg Bell. Hello, sir, good morning.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for not calling me at seven when I
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: was writing.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well we finally, you know, finally got around
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: to being able to discuss this with you here today.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: So it worked out well for both of us. So
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: what do we know? What are we hearing? What do
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: we got on Dante Fowler to the Seahawks.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not official. The teams yet to announce it,
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: but his agents have let it known that Fowler is
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: going to sign a one year deal. Looks like with incentives, performances, sacks,
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: playing time, it could get up dollars. He's going into
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: his age thirty two seats turns thirty two in August.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Three sacks and seventeen games with the second stint with
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys last year, but the year before that his
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: age thirty season with Dan Quinn's Washington Commanders ten and
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: a half sacks, fourteen tackles for losses. So he's still
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: got something worth checking out. I'm gonna talk to a
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: Cowboys beat writer, Nick Harris at Fort Worth Start Telegram
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: at eleven o'clock about what he saw from Flour last
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: year with the Cowboys. But yeah, we've been talking about this.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: It's the one position that they lost in free agency
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: with boy Mafy signing with the Bengals that they did
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: not replenish in the draft. So this has been something
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: in the works for a few weeks, and this is
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: why they saved their cap space. People keep saying why
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: do they have thirty two or aren't they spend it so
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: they can make moves like this, so they can make
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: a trade, so they can re up Devin Witherspoon around
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: training camp. This is a pretty turnkey off season. Yeah,
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: lose Reek Wallen draft three corners lose Kobe Bryant drafted
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: safety in the second round. Now losing that, lose Kenneth Walker,
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: draft of the lead running no this for edge rushing,
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: so it was still a need for this team edge
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: rusher a really important spot.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, is it just a one for one Mafe
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: replacement or is it is he used in a different way?
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Are his skills now used differently at this stage in his.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: Career, Well, this stage's career, you would expect he's going
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: to be a pass rush specialist, not someone you can
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: count on and run support. Mafe was often an early
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: down guy that at times they replaced in their sub
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: packages with nick Eman Worry and whatnot in any emergence
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: so to Marcus Lawrence and opposite side of Mafe, Derek Halls.
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: So it doesn't seem to be a one for one
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: role spot and that's why they may not be done.
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: And there is some concern with Mike McDonald's defense without
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: run outside, which is exactly why they drafted the type
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: of corners and safety Bud Clark that they drafted tackler first,
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: or tacklers primarily corners who are not mind tackling at all.
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: In Julian Neil's case a third round pick. But if
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: you're not a run support guy, then your role is
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: going to be a very specialized and limited one. And
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: it appears both in contract value, length and role that
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: Fowler will be a past rust specialty specialist and not
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: exactly what more boyev They was, all right.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: So just yeah, So that pretty much puts you just
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: in pass rushing situations. Then you don't think that there's
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: an expanded role here at all. I mean we're looking
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: at somebody that is just a bit part player on
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: this team for this year.
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: Well yes, and no. I mean he's two hundred and
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: sixty one pounds, which is really good for size for
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: Fanbecker that you could put on the line of scrimmage
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: as a run support guy. But at his age thirty two,
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: and with how McDonald varies his defense in corners and
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: even worry and all, and they don't need Falor to
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: be that right now. They've got youth speed to be
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: more run support outside. They might have to get creative
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: if the roster states as it is now, but it's
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: more than a bit role to sign an edge rusher
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: if he gives you sacks, because pressures and sacks are
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: the name of the game on defense. This isn't just
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: a very bit position. This is a very important position
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: in this league. They had to address it. They have
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: addressed it, But like I said, I'm not quite sure
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: they're done there either.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: All right, Greg Belvis with us, I mean they wouldn't.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Joey Bosa was another name out there. I mean, we're
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: not talking about getting two veteran guys here. I mean
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: that's not something that would be in the equation, would
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: it good?
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: They still have twenty eight ish thirty million dollars in
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: cap space. Again, some of that will go to Witherspoon.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: The process continues, There'll be salary cut salary cap cut
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: guys and training camp if they seem to fit still
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: a pass rush. John Schneider will explore making a trade
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: in October. They have the money and flexibility to do that.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: And I just I don't think they're done at all.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: It's a dressers and run support outside guys, and it
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: could be a veteran that comes after laden training camp
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: and gets cut.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, are there any of that? I mean, when
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: I hear about the Seahawks and and some guys that
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: could step up into bigger roles. You hear the names
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: out there a few of them that that have been
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: floated around. Finley is one of them, and then Riley
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Mills will play a bigger role this upcoming year. You know,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: uh Me and I Appretchett that we already knew he
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: was on the roster from this past year, but he
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: might play a bigger role this upcoming year. Are there
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: any of those young guys at the edge spot that
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: seem like they they could see an expanded role this
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: year with a good camp.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: Jared Ivy Connor O'Toole. Those are two guys in particular
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: that Mike McDonald's really looking. Ivy, undrafted rookie last year
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: linebacker that impressed them in training camp. There was a
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: reason they kept Ivy on the active roster not on
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: the practice squad all season. They were afraid of losing
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: him through waivers to another team who realized the Seahawks
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: got a coup last year with Ivy as an undrafted
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: rookie free agent. So if you put him on practice squad,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: you got exposing the waivers. And then if he's on
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: the practice squad, any team could add him to the
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: active roster and the Seahawks even though they made him inactive.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: I think for every game they kept him on the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: active roster just so they wouldn't lose him. So there's
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: a reason they did that, and we may find out
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: that reason this summer and fall.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you got kid on your show. He's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: a dad's a big Cowboy fan. He might show up
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: in a Fowler junior jersey here too.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was exciting, was excited, he said, what I'm
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: interview him at eleven o'clock. But yeah, exactly. Yeah, he's
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: a two different stints of the Cowboys. This first stint
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: two years was when Iden Dirty was the defensive line
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: coach for Dallas. In fact, Flower's been three seasons with Dirty,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: including one with the Atlanta Falcons when Dirty was the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: offensive or was the outside linebacker coach. So that's another
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: reason why he's here.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Probably was right about Lawrence, Maybe he's right about foul.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're probably listening to him about his
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: Cowboys guys. They might want to sign after what Lawrence
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: did for him.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Lawrence probably gave him the thumbs up as well,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: having been teammates in the past. All right, so what
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: else we have for ten o'clock today, we're going to
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: discuss might as well promote the Greg Bell radio show here.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: Oh well, thank you, sir. We'll talk a little bit
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: more about whatever's going on with Cal Rowley. I'm sure
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: you've talked about that at length today. There's a weird
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: story out of Gig Harbor, my colleague with the News
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: Tribute John Many, great sports writer of the year, prep
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: writer for my pay the girls basketball coat, highest successfu
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: in her only year. They're nineteen and six, one point
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: away from the state tournament two weeks ago, got fired.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Looks like another case of apparent involvement into a coaching business.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: But then last night the district reinstated her. So we're
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: going to talk to John Manley at ten twenty five
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, sounds good. Well, we'll see in a
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: few thanks, all right, Greg Bell. Our Seahawks in sign
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: of the Bell signal was sent out to talk about
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Dante Fowler Junior signed by the Seahawks, not officially, but
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: his agent reporting they have agreed to terms a one year,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: five million dollars deal for a thirty one soon to
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: be thirty two year old pass rusher who a couple
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: of years ago had ten and a half sacks for
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders, coming off a three sacks season with
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. But he's not missed a game since
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. So that's four straight years of playing
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: every single game for the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: and will certainly add to the in theory the Sea
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Hawks edge rushing depth pass rushing depth that they have
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: and they are still a little bit light on that front.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: I would think I would think that would be the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: reaction from the organization, But I mean, you still have
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Nuosu and you still have Hall. And yes, Hughes brought
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: up Jared Ivy a few times and has even said
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: things as far as keep an eye on Jared Ivy.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: That is somebody that I think we're going to be
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: talking about a lot in training camp. So maybe there's
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: more to it than actually meets the eye. But we
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: appreciate Greg stepping on here with us for a little bit.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: He'll be back on the air at ten o'clock. I'm
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: sure he'll have some more information coming up next. This
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: is a segment we've been doing for years on the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: radio show, and yet it's a segment we might try
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: to double up on and yet I need to make
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: it a lot a little bit different. So I'm gonna
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: float some ideas by people, and also recapped last night's
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Mariners win on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: R f M. Well, I'll give the guy this. Somebody
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: out there got something funny last night. I'll say that
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: somebody got us thinking that that was Travis Kelcey all
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: dressed up like that at the Met gallop. Did. Yeah,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of people thinking that that was
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: It turns out that it wasn't. But there are a
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: lotful lot of people that got hooked in because that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: guy who originally floated it out there, whether by a
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: mistake or he was intentionally being funny, got us down
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: a certain road and then got us all thinking tra
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Vis Kelsey dressed up like a drag queen wizard last
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: night at the Met gala. But it turns out it
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: was Sam Smith. And when you hear that, you're just like, oh, yeah,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: now it makes tolls.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: Then a massive amounts Yeah, yeah, yeah, now.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: I get it. Now I get it. Taylor hasn't changed
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: him that much. No, All right, nine o'clock hour here.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you all. We've got a keyword for
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: your grand Slam cash at his bills b I l
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: LS entered it at ninety three to three KJR dot
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: com to enter it to win one thousand dollars, and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: maybe you can with that cash replicate that out that
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: Sam Smith wore a met Gala. I think you can
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: do a cheaper version of it but still pull off
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: the same affect. Really do probably all right? Joining us
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: on the program is Ryan Heally. I've never seen him
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: in anything more than a cool looking hat in a
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: baseball uniform. That's pretty much what Ryan Ealy goes right now,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: He's just in a baseball uniform. He just whar's it
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: around the house.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 9: Did I hop on the right show? What are we
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 9: talking about this morning?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 8: I thought this was a Mariner's focus show. What do
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 8: we do with?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: I was told when you were running a minute late,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: so I had time to fill and I thought I
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: would bring up the Travis Kelcey story, which I brought
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: up earlier in the show and mistakenly thought it was
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey dressed like that at the met Galaone.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 9: Apologized just I would apologize formally for all the listeners
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 9: out there that that's how your your Tuesday morning started.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 9: We're gonna talk some Mariners baseball. We are going to
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 9: turn this around. It's gonna be a great bounce back effort.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: All right. So you're saying I was in an O
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: two hole, uh, and now you're going to uh, you're
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: gonna hit and I got you all right, all right,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: I got you all. Pick you up. Well, it's a
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: great place to start, because, man, as we just finished
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: discussing Ashley and I, I'm not saying that I overreacted
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: and felt at any moment like this team's terrible. I
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: have not felt that way so far this season, but
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: I did have I did have a moment last night
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, are we really that We're really gonna
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: have this first half again? We're gonna have this crap
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: first half and have to pull it out somehow in
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: the second half. This is what they're gonna do to
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: us again, aren't they? This year? That sixth thenning, that
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: atmosphere there felt dead, The team's chances to win felt dead,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: and yet they come up in the bottom of the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: six then score five times. What were you thinking in
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: that transition from the top of the six to the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: bottom of the sixth.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 9: I'll validate your feelings there, because, as I was watching
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: the game, trying to process the same emotions of coming
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: off a tough weekend, one of the hottest teams in
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 9: Midge League Baseball come into Seattle to play the Mariners.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 9: I had those same feelings of, Oh, no, it's just
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: really gonna happen. Is this really how the offense is
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 9: gonna show up? And then all of a sudden, how
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 9: quickly he can change it. I felt like it was
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 9: a great analogy for just the sport of baseball and
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 9: how quickly it can emotionally manipulate you to feel the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 9: highs and the lows in the drop of a hat,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 9: and then all of a sudden, two homers, change of
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 9: course of the game. The leverage arms come in from
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 9: the Mariners, they slam the door, and you're like, oh, wow,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: all is good again. We can wake up tomorrow, we
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 9: can all enjoy the beautiful weather.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is beautiful weather going on here right now.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: Luke Raley hugged Edgar Martinez after his three run homer
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: last night. What I read into that was that Edgar
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: obviously told him either something before the game or something
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: before the bat even look for this and do this,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: and then it came together. Otherwise I don't think Luke
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: is going and running up and hugging the legendary Edgar
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: Martinez last night. Do you feel the same way? Do
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: you feel? I mean, I'm sure that's happened to you,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: that somebody just gave you the right piece of advice
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: at the right moment and it worked out in that
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: particular at bat.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 9: I think it was more human to human than it
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 9: was coach the player. And I've had situations like this
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 9: with Edgar when he was our hitting coach in twenty
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 9: and eighteen when I was on the Mariners.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 8: He was so so empathetic to the struggles.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 9: And for a man who's a Hall of Famer who
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 9: was always a tremendous player, he empathized with players going
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 9: through struggles because even though in the macro of his
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: you know, career, he was tremendous, there was always struggles
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: that were within it. And there was a moment that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 9: I had in Texas in twenty eighteen where he sent
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 9: me this really really long text just trying to give
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: me perspective of like this is part of it, it's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 9: gonna be okay, Like just helping to reassure you. And
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 9: my guess from the outside looking in is that Luke
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 9: Rayley has been grinding, not just you know, numbers wise,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 9: but mentally. That's what this game does to you, makes
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 9: you grind mentally. And Edgar probably had some words of
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 9: wisdom to share with Luke earlier in the day, whether
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 9: it's in the batting cage and the dugout in the clubhouse,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 9: and it was a moment where Luke was like, Wow, Edgar.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: You were right.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 9: I was able to push through that moment and they
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 9: just embraced I think it was way more human to
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 9: human instead of like, hey, go sit on this breaking
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 9: ball and put it in the right field seats, all right,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 9: kid Like, I don't think it was that. I think
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 9: it was Hey, this is part of it, but what
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 9: are you gonna do next?
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Ryan Healey is who with
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: this former Mariner now doing Mariners television and last night
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: just watching it like the rest of us, though from
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: the comfort of his own home, wearing normal looking clothes,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: and he's joining us here today. We got a brand
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: new sponsor, which will tell you about here in a moment.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: But let's talk about JP Crawford's home run. Both Bucky
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: and I have been highly critical of JP Crawford in
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: the past for swinging for the fences way too frequently.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Bucky does point out that there is a time where
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: even a ten homer a guy a year guy like JP,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: you don't have a problem with him saying I'm gonna
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna swing for the downs this time. And he
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: connected last night for what ended up being the game
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: winning home run. So your thoughts on whether or not
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: JP does fall prey to that and whether or not
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: that was the right time to let it unleash.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 9: I had a chance to speak with JP about that
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 9: while I was in Seattle, and he brought that up
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 9: because I was talking about his early work in some
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 9: of the moves he was making. There was like a
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 9: specific move that I saw with his barrel where his
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 9: barrel kind of loads towards the pitcher and then he's
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 9: trying to be very direct to the baseball. So I
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 9: was just talking through some feels and some cues with him,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 9: and he was telling me, he's like, man, that what
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 9: I was trying to feel is just as short and
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 9: directed as I can he goes. When I get out
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 9: of whacked, I feel like I'm almost side crunching and
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 9: crashing towards the baseball, and then I end up just
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 9: unloading this big swing. So all the fans and the
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 9: media they think I'm trying to swing for the fences,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 9: whereas realistically, my body's just all out of whack and
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 9: I can't deliver the normal swing that I'm used to delivering.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 9: So it's not that the intent is trying to do damage.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 9: It's the intent of JP is trying to catch up
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 9: with the hundred mill an hour fastball, and when his
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 9: body feels unorganized during the loading process of his swing,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 9: it's gonna look unorganized when he fires. So what it
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 9: looks like isn't always truthly what's happening inside of the player,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: which is why I like to get their perspective on
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 9: what are you working on? What do you grinding on?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 9: But I know what it looks like, and I have
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 9: had those thoughts too, But when you hear it from
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 9: his mouth, it makes you think, all right, JP's not
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: a forty home run guy a year.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 8: He's not Nelson Cruz up there.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: I don't think that that's his intent, but I do
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 9: know as a hitter how quickly you can get out
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 9: of whack and how uncomfortable it can feel in a
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 9: big league batter's box when you're competing against plus plus arms.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: So when something like last night happens and you get
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: to be the hitting hero, does that get you from
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: out of whack? Are you now in whack?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 9: The honest truth, Chucky, is that you are constantly fighting
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 9: that battle every single day.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a daily.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 9: Battle of how sore is my body? Do I have
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 9: my legs underneath me? Am I able to execute my
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 9: routine and feel like my swing is in the right order?
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 9: The sequence is the famous word, is my sequence in
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 9: the right order? And there are plenty of days through
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 9: one hundred and sixty two games where you can step
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 9: in the batting cage and go, I ain't got it today,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 9: But I still have to go out there and compete.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 9: And sometimes you have your best games doing that and
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 9: sometimes you don't. But the one thing JP's always bronze.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 9: He gets on base. And the players that stick around
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 9: the major leagues are able to get on base even
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 9: when they're not hitting, because the game of baseball is
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 9: who can create the least amount of outs. JP Grawford
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 9: does a great job of that, and what's so impressive is, yeah,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 9: he's batten two to eight, which isn't blowing your socks off,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 9: but he's getting on base at almost a three seventy clip.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: That's really impressive. That's well above league average. So the
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: value that JP's bring, even when he's out of whack,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 9: is still high.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Ryan he Ley is with us right here on Chuck
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: and Buck will be joining us every week thanks to
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: our new sponsored Dino's Pub in Renton. And talking along
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: those lines about Cole Young, because I mean, I I
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: pitched in college, didn't hit in college, so the high
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: school careers were the hitting it. But I did enough
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: hitting in my life, and I know that whenever I
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: found my groove, I'm like, ah, now I know what
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: I was doing wrong. But I think the biggest, bigger
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: mystery is when you're red hot and then all of
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: a sudden you somehow fall out of it. You're like,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: what did I start doing differently? And now maybe we're
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: watching that with Cole Young. I mean, he just looked
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: so locked in on that road trip and now all
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: of a sudden he's been zero for four ever since
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: he got back home. Talk about that process of where
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: you feel like you're locked in and then for whatever reason,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: you just lose it a little.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 9: Bit, and that's it's baseball for you. And this is
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 9: what high school college hitters especially don't really understand about
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 9: the challenges that professional baseball brings. When you have opportunities
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 9: every single day to step out there in the batter's box,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 9: you're going for AB's at night. That's almost thirty eight
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 9: bats a week, over one hundred a month. It's a
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: lot of opportunities to succeed and or fail. And you
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 9: don't also have control over what pitches are coming. And
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 9: what my eyes are telling me is that Cole Young
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 9: is getting pitched a little bit differently. Yeah, it's gonna
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 9: happen to young, young players because now they're seeing where
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 9: Cole Young has success in the strike zone, whether it's
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 9: against a right handed pitcher or a left handed pitcher,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 9: so they know where not to go, and now they're
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 9: experimenting with where can they go. And I've seen, like
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 9: Cole Young has been great against left tended pitchers this year, right,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 9: but I've seen a lot of lefties that are leaving
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 9: breaking balls up and in on Coal, So he's committing
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 9: to the pitch, but it's not breaking to where it's
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 9: supposed to be, and that can throw off your vision
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 9: a little bit. Now that tunnel that you're looking for
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 9: the pitches out of hand at it's not ending up
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 9: in the location you're supposed to. So now your depth perception,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: your strike zone awareness can all of a sudden feel
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 9: out of whack, and then it's just a snowball effect
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 9: from there. So it happens both ways, positive and negative,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 9: and I think we're seeing right now in the last
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 9: four games the negative spiral a little bit for Coal,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: and then now it's a challenge of how quickly can
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 9: this young hitter recapture that good feeling and execute a
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 9: good bet.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Hitters can slump, Entire teams can slump hitting the baseball,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: uh pitchers can slump. Entire rotations can slump. Tire bullpens
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: can slump hitting a baseball can defense slump? And I
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: say that because right now the Mariners have the worst
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: defense metrically in the entire sport. So I'm wondering, are
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: they in a slump or do we have to worry.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: We don't have a good defensive team I've been asking
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: myself the same question over the last few weeks that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to watch the Mariners through a harsher lens
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the baseball to see if there.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 9: Are reasons why these one run games are getting lost.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: But I'm not seeing glaring signs right now. We talked
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 9: about this last week. Julio does look a little interesting
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 9: in centerfield right now. Even on a routine fly ball
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 9: that he had last night, he got camped underneath it
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 9: the back pedal three or four times, and Lily Coddon goes,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 9: oh my gosh, like it shocked him.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: I don't know enough about the outfield to know how
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 9: that can get out of whack. I know JP's been
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: taking a lot of heat for his defense. I don't
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: want to go down that route. I think eight people
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: are in so much value, and over the macro of
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: the season, the entirety of the season, I think the
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 9: numbers will level out. I do think there are pockets, though, Chuck,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 9: where offense, defense, pitching can struggle, and I'm hoping that
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 9: this is one of those pockets where the defense of
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 9: the Mariners isn't shining. But knowing that as the season progresses,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 9: they will continue to get better, especially as roles solidify
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: a little bit. There's a lot of platoons going on
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 9: around Leo revov Has taking over third base. That won't
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: be the final solution for the Mariners. I'm curious how
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 9: it does progress and if they do attack it aggressively
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 9: with making some changes.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Ryan Heay, our guest every week here on the radio program.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about injuries, because they're starting to mount on
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: this team right now. I almost feel a little guilty
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: because I was the guy a couple of weeks ago,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: like Dan's got to start pitching relievers on back to
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: back nights. I mean, you just can't. Just you can't
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: have all of these rules and then you end up
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: not putting much focus on actually winning the game just
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: so you can preserve relievers for down the line. And
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: yet he started pitching guys on back to back nights,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: and we lose Spire and we lose Brash, And now
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to wonder, well, I hope he didn't take
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: my advice because that kind of feels like bad advice
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: at this point. But you know, I know injuries are
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: part of this game, but when they start mounting up
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: like this and they're being very precautionous. There's not been
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: one injury that they didn't say, it's nothing serious, we
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: just want to take the ultimate precaution. They said that
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: about Bryce Miller and he still hasn't made his debut
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: so far this year. So how careful do you have
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: to be with these types of injuries at this part
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: of the year to make sure your guys are available
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: to you when it matters most and very much.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 9: So, the individual player where they're at in their career
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 9: does determine some of this timeline and meaning the players
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 9: can push a little bit harder, especially if you're in
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 9: a contract year or maybe if you're in an arbitration
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 9: and you know the games play in the bats really matter.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 8: There are circumstances with that.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 9: The Mariners overall are taking a stand though, and just
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: because I think the goals are bigger, meaning they've been
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 9: talking about World Series this entire year, entire spring training,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 9: ever since last season ended. So when that happens, you
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 9: have to make decisions in April and May that are
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 9: on more of the cautious side to make sure that
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 9: you're setting up the roster long term.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 8: For success.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 9: Losing multiple leverage arms though in the bullpen and spire
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 9: and brash is not ideal. You saw what the presence are.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 9: The lack of presence of Cal Rawley in the lineup
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 9: does over the weekend. I think that we're gonna see
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 9: Brendan Donovan and Victor Roeblisz come back in the next
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 9: week or two, which I hope that starts the trend
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 9: of positive, you know, movement forward of creating this team
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 9: to be at full strength again. But the injuries are
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: gonna happen, and I think their mindset, and I'm assuming
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 9: here their mindset is, let's be cautious in the front
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 9: end of the season because we want these players to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 9: be one hundred and percent by the time we get
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 9: to August, September, and especially October.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: So what would you do with Cal right now? I
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: mean they're not giving any specifics, they're just saying general
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: soreness on the side. Would you just because we're still
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: early May at this point, just say let's just play
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: it safe, give him ten days to rest, let's not
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: push this thing, or or how would you handle it?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: I was listening to Aaron Goldsmith and Dave Valley talked
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 9: about that last night, and they both alluded to that
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 9: fact of you know, just backdated till last Friday or
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: last Thursday, whatever the off day is. Give him the
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: full week off and then have him come back on
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: the road trip and see how he feels. But the
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 9: fact that they're not sharing any information or specifics on
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 9: it is telling us that the imaging is apparently taking
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 9: forty eight to seventy two hours to get back, which
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 9: we know is not true. At the major league level,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: you can get that back immediately. Or they're all kind
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 9: of conversing between the front office, coaching staff, and cal
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 9: to decide what they want to do engaging his soreness
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 9: on a day to day basis.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 8: But at this point, I don't know how you navigate this.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 9: But if they're gonna be consistent with how they've handled
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 9: every other injury, then they will aisle him and they
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 9: will give him the full ten days and then navigate
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 9: where to go from there.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Emerson Hancock. I mean, let's face it,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: he needs to be in this starting rotation. Ryan, so
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: to me, I mean after that performance on Saturday night
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: that they blew for him, this is no longer a
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Emerson versus anyone conversation. To me, he locked it down
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, and I don't know what they're going to decide.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Six man rotation or Emerson excuse me, Bryce versus Castillo
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: seem to be the only two options to me, because
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: to me, Hancock is not even a consideration to be
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: removed from the starting rotation right now.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 9: Your thoughts, I'd be surprised to see any starting pitcher
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 9: removed from the rotation right now, just based off of
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 9: where the season is at. I don't see anyone besides
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 9: Hancock who is throwing lights out every single time in
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 9: the step of the mount. George Kirby's probably the next
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 9: closest in their rotation. If we're talking about the health
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 9: of this starting rotation and the importance of that to
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 9: the rest of the season, the sixth man rotation would
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 9: make the most sense. But one thing I remember Justin
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 9: Hollander saying, he said, I'm never gonna lose sleep over
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 9: having too many good starting pitchers. So this is a
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 9: problem that is great for the Mariners to have. There
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 9: is no one that is happier for Emerson Hancock than
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 9: every player in front office member in the Mariners organization.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 9: This is unbelievable to see his progress and his growth
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 9: and to have the fourteen strikeout performance the confidence to
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 9: send him back out there in the seventh. The fact
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 9: that they couldn't get him a win was the only
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 9: devastating part of that of that day, but there was
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 9: so much positive that came from it. Emerson Hancock's gone
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 9: from a placeholder to now being a staple in that rotation,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: and I want to celebrate the mental determination and grit
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 9: that it takes, you know, for a young major league
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 9: to break through that barrier of what you've been labeled
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 9: as up to this point in his career.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: In theory, you could screw up even an Emerson Hancock,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: who's obviously in a rhythm with his routine. You could
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: screw up a George Kirby who's in a rhythm with
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: his routine. But also in theory, I mean couldn't you also,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: since you've got a couple of relievers down, if you
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: went to a six man rotation in theory, maybe your
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: starting pitchers can go even deeper into games and could
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: help kind of make up for those outs that you
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: need at the back end from on a day to
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: day basis, So which theory do you do you prefer?
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Do you do you fear the disruption of those who
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: are in their rhythm and a five man rotation or
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: where are your thoughts on that.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 9: I think someone or something is going to get disrupted
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: during this And if the main goal that everyone can
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 9: agree upon is health and longevity through the season, and
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 9: reminding of five I've plus now you know Bryce Miller
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 9: coming back all six of those pictures, that the health
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 9: of this rotation is going to lead this team to
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 9: the promised land. I think that they can rally behind that. Also,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 9: I know this pitching staff does a tremendous job of
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 9: filling up the strike zone and especially strike one, keeping
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 9: the pitch count low. And he saw, you know, Logan
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 9: Gilbert who even gave up a couple of home runs
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 9: in the sixth last night to be able to he
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 9: was in that halfway through that sixth inning with eighty
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 9: pitches like he's starting to look better. And we don't
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 9: see a lot of Mariner's pitchers that are walking the house.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 9: Castillo has had a couple starts this year which looked
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 9: like that. I think they can get behind it. If
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 9: health is the the road to the World Series. Then
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 9: they're gonna get behind it and the justice to their
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 9: routines accordingly.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: If there's a picture dominating double A like few pitchers
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: have ever dominated double A, how far away is he
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: from being in a major league rotation.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 9: I'd be shocked if we saw him before four the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 9: first half is over. I think the Mariners are gonna
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 9: want to see him succeed in triple A as well,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 9: but they're also not going to bring up a prospect
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 9: of that caliber until there's a spot for him to hold,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 9: because it's not gonna say, hey, come, come to a spot,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 9: start here, and then you know, all right, see you later.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: He's not gonna be a fill in, meaning Kate Anderson.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 9: He's not going to be a fill in. There's gonna
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 9: have to be a runway that opens up for him
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 9: to enter the big leagues. Otherwise, this is his first
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 9: season in professional baseball. You shut down all last year
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 9: after throwing a ton of innings in college. I think
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 9: they're gonna take the time with Kate Ederson's development, celebrate
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 9: the progress, but they're gonna want to see him fail
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 9: in the minor leagues before they bring him up to
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 9: the major leagues. Failing in the major leagues for your
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 9: first time ever in your professional career is not a
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 9: formula for success because that is a lot of eyeballs,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 9: a lot of opinions all of a sudden on you,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 9: and it's really tough. It makes it harder to bounce
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 9: back at that type of a level.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Well, it was obvious that last Thursday the Mariners won
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: their biggest game of the year so far, and they
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: really carried that momentum into the weekend. Ryan, I mean,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: felt so huge last week to get back to five
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: hundred and then crap the bed over the weekend against
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: the Kansas City Royals. So obviously one hand has not
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: washed the other when it comes to momentum at this
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: time of the year in this crazy ass sport that
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: you chose to play for a living. But what gonna
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: win like last night? Mean to get a team out
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: of its duldrums to pull that thing off last night,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: same thing, There's no effect at all, just a new
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: day to day.
• 1:27:38
