  Speaker 1: It's Chucking Bugs weekly visit with Ryan Heally, brought to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you by the Emeral Queen Casino, bringing you the best
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in live music, entertainment, dining and gamer Emerald Queen Casino,

  Speaker 1: always entertaining from our info visit Emerald Queen dot com
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and by Dino's bubb and Written.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Whenever I hear this new music, I just picture Heally
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and I hitting the club on the day.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: My club days are well behind me talk and fortunately.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Mineor ahead of me. Really. Yeah, Yeah, I've decided here
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: as of late that I'm really gonna focus on my
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: moves at the club as a goal in life. Yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: My wife calls it a clurb. So that's that tells
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: you how out of date we are of actually going
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: to a club. The only club I'm going to is
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: a kid's club.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to the club show off my kid.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: You got this, buddy?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Right e? Lee with us every Tuesday here at
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock. Boy, Dingers are fun, aren't they? Was that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: not a great home run derby last night? Was that
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: not special? That's the best. That's the most entertaining one
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I've watched from beginning to end ever. Yeah, I mean
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I've seen better individual performances that I think stole the show.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But in terms of Wilson Contreras starts it with the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: best round of the night, and then the way walker
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: tracked down the hometown Schwarber at the end, I just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: thought every round was good and I thought that was
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the best beginning to end home run derby I've ever seen.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I think in recent years. Certainly MLB had a big
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: win last night with just the adjustments they'd made to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the format. It looked like the players responded to it
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: really nicely, and I think the like so much credit
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: goes to the Philly fan base, the energy they brought
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: what they were rooting for or against any particular player
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: that was currently hitting, Like the Booze were just as
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: loud as the cheers all night long for anyone going
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: against Warburgh or if your name was Wilson.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Catrera's it was.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: It was very, very entertaining in the fan base did
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: a great job there bringing the energy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. You had to have been
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: in a couple of home run derbies in your life.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And honestly, I'm I've been reflecting on some
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: of those recently because I had a big one coming
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: up in the in the beginning of August, which I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to prepare my body for a little bit.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: But I did want I did one in Cooperstown when
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I was young. I remember when I did Pony League
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: growing up, maybe I was ten or eleven years old.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I did want a Dodger stadium where they set you
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: up in the outfield you get to hit it over
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the centerfield wall. I did one at high school that
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was actually UCLA. I think I did one in Double A.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not positive it would have been in Corporus Christi,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Texas and the Texas League. I'm not positive doing that year,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: but I definitely uh embarked on a few journeys to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the course of my career. I would imagine you did
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: well at these, only I don't think I ever won
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: one of them. That Yeah, so maybe I'm over. Is
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: that what that means?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I think?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: So?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're you're gonna run away with this
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: one next month, aren't you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I feel like if I beat, like if if I win,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I might get booed just because like this, I feel
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: like this is each Row's Homer and Derby twin, like
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: it's it feels like it's his twin. And if I
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: beat each row, like I'm just I've been dreaming. Maybe
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: it was a nightmare. I don't know, but been dreaming of,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: like beat beating each row, like like Jordan Walker did
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: last night at Kyle schwarburn his hometown stadium with the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: statue of the guy just out front. Like if that happens,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I might get booed out of the place and not
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: get welcome back.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Here's your bet. Uh, you say, hey, I beat each row,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I get a statue outside the stadium, and and if
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: he beats me, I take everyone in the Mariners out
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to the clerb.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I gotta take him to the clerb.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you take him to the clerb. You take each
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: as my wife.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's when my wife comes with me. We're good. She's
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the energy that I need at the club.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You know, Ashley and I were talking about this a
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: little earlier. A year ago. Kyle Rowley wins the home
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: run Derby and it really was just the year of Cal.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I mean it just saw everything that he touched just
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: turned to gold. And it caught us by surprise. I Mean,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: we all already loved Cal before last season, but obviously
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: he did things that were unexpected even for himself. He
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: was not He didn't set a goal of sixty home
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: runs heading into last year, and then this year, obviously
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: he's not present. And you think about the way that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the season has gone this season for Cal, going all
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the way back to the WBC, it's like everything he's
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: touched this year has just it just hasn't come together
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: for him. And here he sits at the All Star
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: break with a one sixty nine batting average. So, man,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you compare and contrast a year ago with Cal Rawley
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to this year, it really does highlight like how important
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: he is going to be to the second half of
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the season for this team.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. And he's he's been the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: leader of this team. I honestly think it was before
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: last year performance. I think the success on the field
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: cemented some of those feelings that were already circulating in
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the clubhouse of Cal is the guy. He is the
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: father of our group, and I know that it's really
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: hard to lead other people when you're having a hard
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: time leading yourself. And I'm not making assumptions of what
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Cal might be going through in his routines or off
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the field, but I know the mental impact of the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: performance he's having right now, what that does and how
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: much of a toll it takes on you. And I
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: know it's hard to think about others hold people accountable
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to the standard that the team is operating at or
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: trying to operate at to ultimately be humble World Series
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: contender like they were projected to be when you really
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: can't put together a couple of quality bats, and it's
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: not because he's a bad hitter, it's just one of
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: those years. Actually had a hitting coordinator in the batting
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: cage with me last night. Good buddy of mine came
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: in and he was asking me about Cal and I said,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I have watched hours upon hours of Cal Rawley video
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: from last season to this season, and the most shirting pieces.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: There's not something that is drastically off in his swing,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and that's been confirmed multiple times by col By, hitting coaches,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: everyone around. It's just simply the timing, the pitch election
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: and the ability to you know, get the ball rolling
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: down the hill on a consistent basis, and you see
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: glimpses of it, but it feels like there's so much
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: failure that's happened on the particular pitch, meaning the fastball
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: up in the zone that anytime he misses one, it's
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: almost like, no, here we go again. And that's what
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: it kind of looks like to me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: What is the adjustment that needs to be made, Not
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: that they haven't tried a million times, but whenever you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: were having difficulty, because you know you've talked about it,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it's just tortuous. You're always struggling at something, but particularly
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: because that looks like the problem. He can't catch up
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to the high fastball, and yet he can't lay off
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the high fastball. What is a trick that maybe you
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: tried to try to catch up to that pitch.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I would swing someone else's bat. I would change like
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the weight, the length of the bat, the model that
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I would swing, just to give myself maybe a different balance,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: different feel in the batter's box. That was a big
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: go to, along with changing my cleats, batting gloves, anything
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: that I possibly could to try and take my mind
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: off of the obvious. And I think the formula that
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I wish I used more was create my own scorecard
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: or standard of success of things that are completely within
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: my control. And it's really simple tasks that I'm trying
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: to accomplish when I step in the batter's box, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: then I can reverse engineer what my preparation looks like
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: throughout the course of the day and maybe what he does.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: He goes in off the traject and he faces twenty
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: five pitches, and my goal is to take X amount
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of pitches at the top of the zone, and then
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I want to get my swing off on X amount
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: of pitches on top of the zone to show myself
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: where I can handle that and just really make that
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: pitch the priority of the day, and like, can I
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: go in there and execute and my first at bat
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: being on time for a fastball at top of the zone.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: If I can, great, then I can move on to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the next task. But really organizing what my success looks
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: like as a hitter today and how can I keep
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: myself within those margins.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Ryan Heay is with us every Tuesday talking Mariner Baseball
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: with the former Mariner and current member of the Mariner
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: TV crew as well. Hopefully you're going to hear and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: see more of Rian on that front here in the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: coming weeks. What else about the first half has led
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: us to this frustrating game under five hundred All Star
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: break moment. What else do you pinpoint as beyond cal
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: as something like, hey, if this team wants to get
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: where it wants to go, they are going to have
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to be better in this area.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Three things I'll give you, okay, good One is I
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: feel like the defense has been really inconsistent, which has
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: given up free outs, free bases, and with an offense
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: it's not producing consistent runs per game. Those free outs,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: free bases turning into unearned runs really makes the game
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: feel out of hand. So that's one. The second one
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: is the offense. The offense is in the bottom half
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: of the league in almost every category. The only category
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: that I was looking at real quickly that they're in
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the top ten in league and the strikeouts, And this
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: is a team that was built to strike out less,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: maybe not hit as many home runs, but get on
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: base more manufacture runs than I haven't seen that executed
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: at a high level at all. And then number three
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: for me is the expectations of the season from outside
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: sources and maybe even from inside sources. I think that
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: before a season ever starts, when the label of World
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Series or bus is put on you, which I totally
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: agree with you, and I understand why though, after what
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: you experienced as a team last season, why would you
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: not come in with that expectation. Sky's the limit. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I think the gap between expectation and reality is where
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: frustration can just multiply so quickly. And this team, this
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: fan base, everyone surrounding it has felt so much frustration
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: this year because the expectations world Series or busts, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: this team has maybe looked like a World Series team
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: for that eight ten games stretch that was at the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: end of May early June when they went on that run.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: But they went on that run because they were hitting
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: a bunch of home runs. And when they don't hit
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: home runs, they're having a hard time winning baseball games,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: even though they have six really good major league starting
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: pitchers that are doing a good job overall, with some
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: higher performers than some guys struggling. But the defense, the offense,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and the expectations are the three things that have really
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: crippled this team in the first half.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll loop you in on something that I did yesterday,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and I doubt you're going to agree with it, But
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and I take this very seriously. I'm not some hot
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: take sports talk show hosts who just shows up angry
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: at the local baseball team and pops off. I've been
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: frustrated with Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions, is use of his
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: bench this year, which really are the last two frontiers
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that a manager in modern day has told little control
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: over from an x AS and O standpoint. But more importantly, Ryan,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I have huge expectations for this team this year, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like they are falling so far short of
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: fulfilling those expectations. That really is the manager's job, get
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the most out of the talent you've been given. I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: think he's been given a lot of talent. We're a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: game under five hundred. So yesterday I went as far
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: as saying, I think we need a new manager. Uh
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: tell me why I'm right or wrong about that. Who
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: would you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Say is the most successful manager of the Seattle Mariners
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: of all time?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Loo, panella?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Okay? And he was fresh on my mind because he
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: got some camera time in Tampa this this weekend. Do
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you know what his winning percentage is for his career
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: thirty five hundred plus games with the Mariners.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Worse than Dan Wilson's.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, And I don't say that to say that
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: that the smaller sample size and numbers tell everything of
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: a story. But I do believe that the sample sides
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: that we've seen of Dan Wilson up to this point
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: is that of success, and so far this season it
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: hasn't been as successful as it could be or should be,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: And there have been decisions that have been made that
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with and you don't agree with, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: quite frankly, I'm sure Dan doesn't agree with that to
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: this point, been some factors out of his control of
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: injuries and stuff, but also games that probably managed their
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: way to a loss. Unfortunately, the thing that I can't
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: get over is what happens to Dan Wilson's relationship with
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Mariners if they do fire him, And is
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the fan base willing to lose that relationship, that type
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: of alumni over a half of the season's worth of
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: underperforming from the actual team on the field. Are they
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: willing to put all that blame onto a Seattle Mariner
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: great who has turned this club around over the last
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: year and a half two years that he's been here.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: They are they willing to break that relationship just because
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: the expectations were World Series are bust. And I don't
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: think this takes Dan off the hook entirely. I would
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: love to see him be more accountable and more real
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: in some of the interviews of this was not what
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the standard is here, Like I would like to see
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: maybe a little more aggressive tome, but that's not his personality.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Then it's unfair for me to ask him to be that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I've also had an issue with the focus of the players,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: from Randy's play down the left field line that he
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: let go to Josh Naylor sometimes hot dogging plays and
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: turning it into an error, to really some bad bass
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: running at times during the course of the year. I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: think that's also a reflection of the manager. I mean, like,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: where's the focus? I mean, Randy Rosearina is such an
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: interesting topic to bring up with you today, but where
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: is if he's got I know everybody in that clubhouse
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: likes him, I know that, but there's a difference between
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: getting everybody to like you and get everybody to perform
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: for you, and nearly to a man, with the exception
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: about five guys, they've underperformed individually. And I wonder how
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: much of that reflects on Dan in your eyes.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: There was a moment Logan Gilbert through I want to
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: say it was game one of the Ray series. It
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: was that game Warner Game two.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, that was game one, I believe.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: So the decision for Logan to talk him his way
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: into staying in the game, yes, and then giving the
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: double up Toronto, like that was a moment for Dan
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: of like, Okay, I'm gonna trust my guy here, like
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: our team's going through a tough stretch our opening day starter,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: talk me and be leaving the game. All right, let's go,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: and then grooves of fastball double off the wall. Okay,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: intentional walk. Now let's bring in the lefty lefty to
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: match him up. Oh okay, Now they pinch hit, bringing
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a righty, Oh okay. Like this is Dan trying to
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: make the right decisions and the game is still telling
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: him or showing him, no, that wasn't good enough. You
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: just made like a good gut instinct decision to trust
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: your player, and then he gives it the double and
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: then you go for the matchup. Manager responds, and then
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: first pitch of the batter gave spy or three run
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: home run puts the game out of reach. Like it
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: just feels like and if you saw Dan's face after
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: that in the dugout when the camera kept panting to him,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: like the exact thoughts going through his mind is my
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: my assumption is what am I gonna do? Like what
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I what am I supposed to do?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: If this is how the game is gonna treat me
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: and respond to me when I try to make a
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: good decision, then what's the point? Like it felt like
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: that helpless moment of like what am I? What can
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I do better? What can I do differently? Because I
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: thought I just did that perfectly and the game still said,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: here's a three run Homer, see you later. Like this
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: game is brutal, It's cruel in so many ways.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Randy or Rose Arena, because on one hand,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: he is, without a doubt, our most deserving All Star
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: we only get one this year, apparently our most deserving
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: All Star. But on the other hand, we saw it
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: over the weekend, We've seen a numerous times Randy seems
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to be on Randy's plan and doesn't quite understand it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Feel like to me at times, what it's like to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: do what's best for the team. How do you wrestle
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: with Randy or Rose Arena? The player trying to relate
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to him as how you'd like to have him as
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a teammate.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, if Randy wasn't an All Star this
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: year and performing the way that he has so consistently
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: and ben the guy that you want to come up
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: in every spot, I think there'd be a lot different
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: opinions out there across the league and across Seattle of
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Randy as a player. And I think you take the
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: good with the bad, just because his performance speaks for itself,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and unfortunately, baseball is a performance forward league, and if
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: you perform well, then everything else kind of gets ignored.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think Randy is a bad guy by any stretch.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I just think he's done this for a long time
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: at a high level and has had very very consistent
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: success and been an All Star multiple times and has
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: really flourished and captured the heart of Mariner's fate. And
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I understand why because when he pulls out there and
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: he plays with high energy, high intent, he he captures
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: your attention with everything he does. But I also know
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: it's hard to perform at that type of level on
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty two game basis. It takes a
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: lot out of you, and you know when you're playing outfield,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: you have a lot more ground to cover, so if
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: your energy and effort isn't really high, it can look
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: really poor, kind of like that fly ball. And obviously
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: he's still nursing like a hamstring, So like there's like
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: there's factors that go into it. He's going out there
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: willing to play for his team, posting for his team,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: not at one hundred percent. So how much credit do
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: we give that verse? Hey, you should have made that
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: play Like it's such a push and pull, which is
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: probably why there's not anyone in that clubhouse or organization
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: saying anything to him, because like, you want that bat
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: in the lineup. I don't want him to hurt that
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: hamstring again and not be able to hit because he
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: was hustling for a foul ball down the left field line.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: But then also you see the ball dropping. The next
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: pitch is a home run. You're like, God should have
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: been caught, Like pick your poison there at this point, Chuck,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: which one do you really want?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I said this yesterday, and you can feel free
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: to agree or disagree. I guarantee you Randy rose Arena
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: was told with that hamstring, Hey, no crazy plays don't
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: dive in the walls, don't jump into stands like the foul.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: If it's a foul ball, it's not as important as
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: your health. And I think Randy has a hard time
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: when his own personal filter of understanding I met you.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: In his head, he's like, that's a play that they
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: don't want me to go for because right and then,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: but it looked to us like that was an easy
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: don't agree with that statement.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Really, I don't agree with that. I agree that he
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: was told to, like, please take care of yourself, like,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: if it's a routine ground ball, we don't need to
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: see a hard ninety Like if it's a pop live,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: do you feel like you're not gonna get to like,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I don't need you to reinjure it. So I guaranteed
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: there was that conversation that happened. But I don't think
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: in his head he's like, Oh, they don't want me
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: to go for that ball. I'm just gonna dog it
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: over here, lod you Like, I don't. I don't think
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: that happens in the spot. My guess is he takes
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: his first couple of hard steps and his eyes, as
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Reid told him, I'm probably not gonna get there, so
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: he dialed it back a little bit and then it
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: dropped where it did and looked like he had an
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: opportunity for it. Everyone there saying, why why wasn't that
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: ball caught?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Well, you know what, we had a lot
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of frustrating moments last season, and look how fun it
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: ended up being.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: So it's supposed to be frustrating. If it was fun
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: every day, then you wouldn't enjoy the highs.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Right right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be nice though, for all Mariner fans listening,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: if they could once enjoy an easy ride to the end,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: just once, just ten games up, throughout the entire second half,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: feed up on the desk, and then we'll get serious
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. That'd be nice. I'd like to see
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that you're shaking.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: The kids are doing that, Dodgers, And that's that's.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: The list, Chuck, that's the list, all right, man, right
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: stuff has always really enjoyed it, and we will talk
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: to you again next week.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Can't wait, all right?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Ryan joining us right here, former Mariner. Currently on Mariner's TV.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: At every Tuesday at nine o'clock, we chat with Ryan Healy.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Coming up next on the program, Anders Hurst is going
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: to join us. We'll preview today's World Cup match tomorrow's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: as well while we have them. Sports Radio ninety three
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: point three kJ r F M. All right, it's Chuck
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: a Buck in the mornings, Chuck Powell, Ashley Ryan with
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you joining us now as we get you ready for
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: another World Cup match. Only three remaining, well, actually four
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: because they do try to make a big deal out
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of that third place match.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no one gets their rip.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah I don't. Maybe Anders does, But then again, Anders
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: sees the world differently than you and I. Sometimes joining
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: us now is our own Anders Hurst in anticipation of
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: today's Spain France slug match. How are you, sir?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well. I hate the third place match, so
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: I'm all with you guys.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yay, out of way. Andrews, what about this one? I
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: did this earlier in the show too, Like, I've really
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: watched and enjoyed more soccer in the last month than
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I ever had in my entire life combined, and yet
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I still have the flopping, unnecessary writhing on the field
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: issues with the sport. But almost everybody that I'm talking
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: with that are soccer fans, including Stretch and a couple
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: of others. They've all said I don't like that either.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: As soccer fans, I don't like that. Do you think
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: with video review and some of the things that we've
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: watched happened in this tournament that maybe that part of soccer,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: which is absorbed into the culture will start to get
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: faded out of the sport.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: It would be very difficult, to be completely honest, because
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I think it's just it has been going on for
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: such a long time. It's like you said, it's just
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: part of the culture. It's really really hard to kind
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: of etch something out just like that. And with every
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: var change that they make, there's up in arms people
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: pissed off about how it's used. They want to go
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: back to the old days when they weren't using var.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Soccer more than any other sport, is very reluctant to change. However,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: they've done it more recently to just try and you know,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: fix parts of the game that are pretty obvious that
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: needs fixing, like what you mentioned. I'm with you. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: just don't know if it's important enough to the normal
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: soccer fans to get that out of the game. It
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: is important for Americans, and I completely understand that and
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: I talked about this with Hugh and Dick on the
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: on Friday. I just don't know if physical toughness, which
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: is the thing that kind of gets undermined when you're
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: doing that, is that important to at least the appearance
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: of it to fans, to players and stuff like that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: So to me, I don't know if it ever will
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: get and you know, etched out of the game, but
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: maybe at least it will be diminished to a point
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: where it's a little bit more acceptable.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Interesting answer, interesting answer. All right, what about this part
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: of the tournament? There there seem to be a lot
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: of drama. It seemed to be like upsets and near upsets,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I mean enormous near upsets throughout the entire tournament, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: yet here we are with the four teams that we're
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: expected to get to the final four. Do you like
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that about it? Do you like that it ended up
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: in chalk or do you wish we would have had
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: a little more of a bumpy road to get to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the final final four teams?
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I like it. I think it's a very NCAA
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: tournament esque where you do get some upsets and you
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: do get some magical runs, but at the end of
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: the day, it's usually the final four teams. Maybe there's
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: one every couple of years. That's that's a huge surprise
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: of George Mason sort of situation. But I mean this
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: is what we wanted, right, We want the four best teams,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: all with the chance in my opinion, to win. Like
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: compared to twenty twenty two, when Morocco and Croatia were
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: two of the four semi finalists, you could kind of
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: almost unfortunately count them out for a chance to win
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: the World Cup. I don't think you can say that
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: for any team that's playing this in the semifinals. So,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: and I think the two matchups are about as perfectly
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: set up as possible. You got the tactical, just all
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: out offense versus I'm gonna keep the ball away from
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you the entire time, which is France versus Spain, and
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: then the politically charged history of England versus Argentina tomorrow.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: So I think the two matchups are just perfect to
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: kind of set up what should be an amazing final
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: All Right, So France has seemed like they've had the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: least amount of trouble from match to match. They just
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: feel like they've been in control of every match they play.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Why is it going to be different today?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: I think because Spain, if any team in this tournament
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: is going to beat France. I do believe France is
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: the favorite. I think they're playing the best soccer and
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: they have the best team, which are two different things.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: They're one kind of vulnerability is in midfield and stain.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: The way they play, they will keep the ball away
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: from France for long stretches of the game. France rely
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: on like a high volume attack. So for anyone who's
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: hockey fans, I compare this matchup to a Colorado Avalanche
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: versus the Carolina Hurricanes, right, just a suffocating possession style
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: of Spain versus the high octane I have superstars, go Lore,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna just high volume attack of France, And honestly,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I could see it going either way. Spain has actually
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: beaten France the last three times they've played, so they
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: do know how to win these types of games. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: even though France has really looked better throughout the course
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: of the entire tournament, I think Spain knows how to
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: kind of win these types of games, and it should
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: be a really really fun matchup today.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: All Right, apply that same analysis to Argentina versus England.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Give us the way that one's going to go down tomorrow.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: I honestly I could see it going either way. The
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: one thing I can say is I think we're going
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: to get some goals. I really do. Argentina, believe it
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: or not, actually been the highest scoring team in the tournament,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: even though we think of France as this the best
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: offense or whatever in Argentina and that scores the most goals.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: It's just they've done it in a little bit different
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: way this year. And I'm as concerned as any neutral
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: out there for their chances because they haven't really dominated
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: any game. They've just been kind of surviving in advancing.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: But England you could say the same thing about them
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: as well. The one thing that I will say is
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I do think Argentina has the slight advantage offensively. They
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: just have a little bit more in the magic category
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: with with Messi, and they're finally starting to get some
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: involvements other than him, if they can. If they get more,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: you know, just chances created and goals scoring and assists
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: from people other than Lionel Messi, that's what makes them
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: really really good, and they finally did that in their
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: quarterfinal game versus Switzerland. So and England's kind of the opposite.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: The more the tournament goes on, the more they're reliant
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: on Jude Bellingham. So if that continues, you can it's
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: a great person to rely on. But I think tactically
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: this one is about as close as it gets. Again,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: and I just add in the history of nineteen eighty six,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: the quarterfinal in England faced Argentina right after the Falklands
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: War and Diego Maradonna had the goal of the century
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: and then scored with his hand as well. So there's
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of controversy surrounding these two teams and I
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: just can't wait for that matchup just for the historical factor.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I know who you're rooting for in the Hurst household,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: but Ashley and I want to hear the Hey Jude
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: song again. We want to see Bellingham because that was
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: pretty That was a pretty cool moment when all of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: England was singing Hey Jude to Bellingham the other day.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were singing Wonderwall actually that's the song that.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Now, then they Jude to him.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, I must have missed that part.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Because each team has a Each team has a song
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: that they sing right after they win, so I guess
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: they added that on just to add some extra, you know,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: merriment to a victory.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Every good english person knows the words to Hay Jude.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: It just works. It just works.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and wonder while the team sings with the fans,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: they all sing it together. Hey ju, he just stood
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: there while they all sang it at him, and then
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: he fist pumps.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: And he just soaked it all in.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I will say, I will say, if England does win
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: that game, I will root for them against either of
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: the other two teams. So whoever wins that matchup is
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: who I will be going for in the final.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, thank you sir, We appreciate it. What
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: kind of work you gotta do today?
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: I am doing the the pre match show for Spain
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: versus France with Danny Jackson, and then you know, obviously
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: halftime postgame as well. Hopefully we get a nice fun
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: am I rooting for extra time? Maybe we'll see what
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: ends up happening. But I'm as intrigued with these two
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: matchups as I have been for honestly, anything that I've
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: ever watched in the world. Cup, so I can't wait
• 29:56

  Speaker 2: over too, by the way, Yeah, because I kind of
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: when the tournament started, I'm like, man, why are you
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: guys making so many excuses? You're starting with excuses before
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: every match, But I don't know, I'm kind of caught
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: up with their whole history, their whole story. Bellingham's turned

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have some tea today. Yeah, and crumpets
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: all right, close out next with one last thing. Sports
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, our final segment of
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: today's radio show here on Chuck a Buck in the Morning.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: So we always close things out with one last thing,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: and so let's get it started. Actually, what do you got?
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Well, I have to say something that I did not find.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't think I would be as stressed out by,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: but boy, it really took up a lot of my.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Stress energy.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Was Select tryouts, So we were at a select team
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: pongers at a select team last year that we were
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: not thrilled with.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: And didn't want to go back to.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, And the one thing.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: I realized was select is you really want to find
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: a place you want to stay. So they don't have
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: to do this every year, because then you just find
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: yourself constantly checking your email to see if if your
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: kid has.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Gotten an offer to play at the place she wants
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: And I didn't realize how much it was stressing out
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: until she got her offer from Northwest show and I
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: got emotional, and Palmer got emotional, and she was so
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: excited that she got the offer.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: She basically started sobbing. She then made me cry, of course,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: and it was so cute.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: And she and so then her hitting coach asked, so
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: do you want to do you want to play?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: There?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: She goes, between tears, rubbing her eyes, yes, just nodding
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: her head. It was the cutest thing ever. And now
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: I sleep a lot better. Oh good, Yeah, which is weird.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, is that why I was so
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: stressed out? But something that I'm like, it doesn't It's
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: not me.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I don't have to go play for this team.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: But you know, as a family, when you're select on
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: a select team, your whole family's invested in it. You
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: spend a lot of time with these people. So I
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: think we found a good one now, and I'm excited
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good, very good.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it's like in the big city. Yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I grew up in a small town where everybody made
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the team and you barely had it enough to fill
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: out a roster.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: And so Dad would go and there were two teams
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: in town, and then he would go into the municipal hall, yeah,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: which was about the size of this studio. And then
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I'd sit in the car with mom, and about an
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: hour later he'd come out grumbling about three or four
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: of the kids he got stuck.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: With Yep, that's how they do Little League.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: And one or two he was excited about.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's how they do Little League.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: They do a draft in they but this is I
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: mean this. They don't have to take every not everybody
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: who has a spot, so you could be left out
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: in the cold.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We didn't. We didn't have
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: select until we got the Legion Bowl. So in a
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: little town, that's all you had.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Which I love that because it I mean that
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: everybody gets the opportunity to play. Even if your dad
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: is stuck with Claire's he's not thrilled by yeah. Oh well,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: oh well, anyway, she's going everybody, we're at it.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: She's going to the show. That's great. I want to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: talk with my one last thing about Randy a Rose Arena.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: We a great conversation today with Ryan Healy. Really like
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: how kind of honest and candid he is, and yet
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: he still tries to keep me on the in the
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: rails within the rails on some things. So I really
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: like having baseball chats with him every Tuesday at nine o'clock.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: But he pushed back a little bit on me on
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: one thing, and I don't mean to be sensitive about it,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: but I do kind of think maybe he's miss he's
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: missing the boat a little bit. And that's just this.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: You can't apply normal baseball rules and philosophy to Randy
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: a Rose arena. That is the point. He is an enigma.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And I believe that in Tampa and in Saint Louis,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: where he rubbed people the wrong way, it was because
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: they expected him to start acting normally. And I don't
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: know if it's entirely within him. I don't think Randy
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: wants to let down his teammates. I don't think Randy
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: wants to I think some things that Randy does, Randy
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't realize Randy shouldn't do those right. And then when
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: it is explained to Randy why you shouldn't do that,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: he has a really hard time understanding what you mean.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Like there have been a lot of him. I mentioned
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: this earlier in the week. Hey, he was told, Hey,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: cal Rawley's on a roll. We can't be getting thrown
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: out at second with Cal Raleigh at the plate in
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: situations where we could use it to run Homer. I'm
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: not saying you never run when Col's at the plate,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: but you need to know where the line is when
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't run. You need to understand that. Randy doesn't
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: understand that, right. Randy's like, this is an invisible line.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: This isn't a rule. You want me to know when
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: to run and when not to run while cow's at
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: the plate and baseball people are like, yeah, it's very
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: obvious and very easy to follow, and he's like, no,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: that's not easy to follow at all. It's okay to
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: run sometimes when cows a the plake, but other times
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't. Randy has a hard time with it, So
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I really do think that a conversation with him about hey,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: don't go running into walls. We had a hamstring. You're
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: too valuable to us. You're the only guy hitting consistently.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: We don't want you jumping into the stands. We don't
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: want you to risk yourself for in a dangerous area
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: for a ball, even if it's in play. Yeah, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Randy was fun going after a fly ball. There was
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: some traffic over there because it's a stupid ballpark, and
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Randy pulled up like, this is one of those plays
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: they don't want me to get. I really think he
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: thought that.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: No, and we talked about that, Yesterdy, because I have
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: the same thing, the same thoughts as Ryan.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Like I don't understand. I feel like he should know this.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: He should have known that that ball was catchable and
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: he wasn't going to hurt himself getting it.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: But that's Randy brain, that's Randy filter. I don't think
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: that he was going after that ball and said I
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: don't care if I catch that. I think Randy went
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: through Randy's filter and said this. I think this is
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: one of those balls they don't want me to go
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: all out on. So and it's foul led drum.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we're watching at home, like, you should have caught that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Not only could you have caught that, you should have
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: caught that, should have had it easily. What is wrong
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: with you? Why are you so? Why did you do that?
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: And Randy didn't get suspended the next day, he didn't
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: get benched the next day, he was right back in
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: the lineup, yep. And I'm betting it's because Randy got
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: in the dug guy and said, I thought that was
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: one of the ones you didn't want me to go after.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Randy's got a different filter than just about anybody else
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: on any roster in Major League Baseball. And that's that's
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: just two examples. I could give you twelve. He didn't
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: think it was showing up a pitcher when he wasn't
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: turning around on fly balls out of the ballpark. Therein
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: crossed his mind. He had to be told, no, you
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: can't do that. Yeah, pitchers are getting piss Why understand,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: why are they getting pissed. I didn't give up a
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: home run they did, Like, that's how Randy's brain works.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know. You take the
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: good one and you take the bad with the guy
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: if you want him on your roster. I get how
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: frustrating he is. He's been more frustrating for me than
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of you out there. I've been complaining about
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: him since he arrived. But I think he's just different.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: And I don't think he does anything maliciously or with
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: the intent to show up his teammates or to cause
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: any mighty any problems. But Randy's on Randy's plan. And
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: there's a reason in Tampa they called it Randy Land
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: because it was a population of one going one like him.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: It's going one like him, and he's our guy, and
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be playing tonight, so I hope he hits
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: two home runs and wins the MVP. Yeah, let's do
• 38:47
