Chuck & Buck 5-4 Hour 3: The Mariners' terrible weekend, Price has everyone talking and who went fishin'? · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of Mariner fans here today
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: who were still supporting the Mariners back in the nineties.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: But but for those of you that are too young
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to have seen me pitch well, as Dave Niehouse would say,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: dust up that VCR sit back, because you're in for
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a ride. It's been well documented that myself, Brian Holman,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and Jean Harris got traded.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: For your perennial All Star Mark Langston. I wasn't the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: best pitcher in the trade. I wasn't even the best
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: athlete in the trade. As I pitched every fifth day
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: as a Mariner, I didn't just enough to create interest
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and optimism. Even with my no hitter here first in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Mariner history nineteen ninety, it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Was far from perfect. I had six walks. Randy Johnson
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the highlight of the weekend for the Mariners. It's right there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That was it. But certainly I wanted Randy Johnson to
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: receive the honor of having his number retired. I thought
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the ceremony was done well, tastefully done, and that was
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to me, that's like vintage Randy Johnson. Remember he was
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in Arizona when I was in Arizona. So I've had
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit of exposure to him, but I mean,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: just I love somebody that has self awareness and just
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: painfully self aware. He is. He knows he's one of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the greats of all time, and he's not gonna shy
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: away from that. He's going to give you a speech
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and you just tell you about all of his accolades
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and all the things that he did. Usually you leave
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that for someone else to do, but he went on there,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah I threw that no hitter, and yeah I did this,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: and yeah I did that and all that. But he
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: also took a little pot shots at himself throughout it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: He brought up had no reason to bring up Mark
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: McGuire hitting a thousand foot home run off of him,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: but he did it. And then also that just that analysis,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that self analysis right there, Like I know that every time,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: for a long stretch of time as a Seattle Mariner,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: every time that I took the mound, there was it
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: was this feeling of optimism combined with you know, not
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: knowing exactly what you were going to get that night.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: And for him to have stuck with it and then
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: go from one of the most talented pictures that has
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: ever been born to becoming a pitcher. Remember I always
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: say that about like guys that throw a hundred, Like, Okay,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: he's just a thrower right now, will he ever become
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: a pitcher? Well, he became a pitcher.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And not only did he go from not only did
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: he corral all those long limbs and that incredible stuff,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: he became surgical with it by the time he got
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to Arizona. So I said it last Friday. I think
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he's the best left handed pitcher I've ever seen in
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: my entire lifetime. And I'm not been around for over
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: a half century. I've been a baseball fan for a
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: half century, and so I've seen a lot of great ones.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: But I don't think anybody touches him. And so feels
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: like he took his rightful place, and it feels like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: he went in the way you expect him to go,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: in self deprecating and yet extremely confident with what he
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: accomplished in a Mariner uniform and beyond.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it felt like he was just telling you
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: a story like you would be sitting around the fire,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: kind of like having a cigar after dinner or something,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: sitting in the lounge, Yeah, and he'd be just like
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the way he laughed when he said it's far from perfect.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: I walked six and then he laughs at it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Right, It's like I could just picture him sitting there
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: telling me that story.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, usually it's the people introducing you that walk through
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: your history, and then you just spend your time thanking
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the people that got you there, tell a couple of
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: music music anecdotes, but he along the way kind of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: told you about his accomplishments, what went into him, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: then he also threw in a little joke about them.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: So I thought it was great job. I mean, he's
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: not some professional orator either. You know, he doesn't really
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: like the limelight. He always trying to steer away from it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: He was kind of famous for being grumpy to the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: media and yet and to teammates. He and Kurt Shilling
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: down in Arizona couldn't He couldn't stand Kurt Schilling. Kurt
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Schilling wanted to be his best friend, and he couldn't
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: even stand him. Kept him at arm's length, and that's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: a pretty long arm, and so he kept him at
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: arm's length. I think they did have a relationship. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: think they still might to this day. But he really
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: didn't have much to do with him when they were
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: teammates together and won a World Series together with Arizona.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: But yes, that's kind of He's not one to have
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of attention paid to him. I don't think
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: he's won for long speeches about himself. But if he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: going to give one, that that's pretty much how it's
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: going to be packaged. Right there. A man the very
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: proud of his accomplished, very aware of his accomplished, but
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: mentioned but also was aware of his shortcomings, and he
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: highlighted those in a comedic fashion, especially when he was
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a young Mariner trying to in front of all of you,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: figure out how to pitch, how to harness all of
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: this god given ability.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I'm glad he figured it out.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah he was. He was just so good, so good,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and it was great ceremony, so so that certainly was
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the highlight of the weekend. And then that was it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: That was the highlight.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Stunk.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: It wasn't pretty.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'll give Emerson Hancock. I'll give another highlight there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: On Randy Johnson night, Emerson Hancock takes the ball fourteen strikeouts,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a career high. I mean, he was so good, so good,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: on Saturday, So that was certainly another highlight. Julio hit
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the ball pretty solidly throughout the weekend. That was a highlight.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: But certainly when you're coming off the road trip that
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the Mariners are coming off of, having won five of
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: their last six, when you have started the way that
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the Mariners once again have started a season, and that
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: is trying to find offense, and then the nights that
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you do find offense, that's the night Bryan Wu gets shelled.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I that sort of April into May that we're so
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: sick of experiencing here, whether it's a team we have
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: high hopes for or even a team they have low
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: o that you're just you're just purely hopeful. I don't know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: maybe it'll come together. This year doesn't look like a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: great team, but maybe this will be a year. I
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: mean two thousand and one was a great example of that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: That wasn't supposed to be a great team, and it
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: turned out it was the best regular season team in
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the history of Major League Baseball.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they got a couple wins that year, Yeah, exactly.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So every baseball fan has a little bit of hope
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: going into the year that maybe if this breaks and
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that breaks it. But man, it does get tiring to
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: watch this team stumble out of the gates, particularly on
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the offensive side of the ball, and underachieve and then
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: have to save things in the summer. I mean, that
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: has been the hallmark of the Jerry Depoto era. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: thought we were going to avoid that this year, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: obviously we're not. Even when it feels like, okay, we've
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: dug out of the hole quicker than we have in
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the past. We got back to five hundred getting ready
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to start.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: The month of May. You know, we had two days off,
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: two days in bed, right in your own bed, home, cooking,
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: you know. And you've got an opportunity at sixteen and
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: sixteen to reset. And now now you're going to prove
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty games to go, how much supper
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: you are to the rest of the teams in the
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: American League West, maybe even the rest of the teams
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: in the American League. And here come the floundering Kansas
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: City Royals who haven't been able to find their ass
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: with a compass so far this season.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: And what happens you you bring to the ballpark. I'm
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: back at T Mobile, and guess what fans I brought
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: the sloppiest, laziest looking baseball that we've played all season
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: long for three straight games. An oh.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Look, on Friday, Vinny Pascentino comes back from being day
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: to day injured, and what does he do. It's a
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: home run and has another run bat it in. Thanks
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: for that passquatch.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, Saturday, with the exception of Hancock, could not
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: have been sloppier, and Sunday could not have felt more lifeless.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, the ballpark was dead. I don't blame the fans.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I think they were feeding off of what the players
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: were showing them, and that's it's terrible. I mean I
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: went through on Saturday, just a long list of things
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that happened on Saturday alone. Randy or Rose Arena for
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: getting out, Mitch Garver not playing that place in the
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: tenth inning the way that a catcher should play it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: You know, Julio Compound making two mistakes on one play,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: lets the ball go between his legs because he took
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: his eye off it because he's trying to make a throw,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if he busted his ass. I mean,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I'm busting my ass if I let a ball go
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: through my legs. I don't know if he did that
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Munjos with the balk I mean, that's focus, that's concentration.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Just a mistake filled night that Emerson Hancock almost won
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: by himself for you, and you can't help him out
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: at all. Yeah, can't help him get that win. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that was that was also a part of it over
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the weekend as well. But I again, I'm not worried
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: about this because I've seen it before. I've seen this
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: movie before, and I do believe that their roster is
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: better than they've had at any point and the Jerry
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: to Poto era. And I do believe that the Astros
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: are worse than they've been at any point during the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Jerry to Poto era. I think the division is its
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: weakest it's been at any point in the Jerry to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Poto era. So I still suspect Ashley that they will
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: settle in. As it heats up the summer months, they'll
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: probably go on a run. They'll have one of those
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: twenty three and five months, whether that's June or July.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I do believe that they will right the ship, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I do believe that they will pull away eventually. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I really thought that was going to start on Friday,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and instead we're talking about a sweep against a struggling
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Kansas City team who you seem to heal as if
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: with magic waters yourself over the weekend. You seem to
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: give them all the mojo that you had heading into
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: this weekend. And it is frustrating as hell. And I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: get every Mariner fan that just turned off their television
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: like I did as soon as the final out was
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: recorded yesterday, shook their head and tried not to think
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: about the Mariners for the rest of the evening.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is exactly what happened at my house. I
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: just thought, oh my god, three games of this and yuck.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: And you know, yeah, Friday talking about the series, talking
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: about going into Friday night's game, we had all the
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: optimism in the world, as we should have. I mean,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: we were back to five hundred, finally, we had nice weather,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: we were honoring Randy Johnson. It was going to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: a good crowd at the ballpark all weekend. I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: there was no there was nothing that wasn't in the
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Mariners favor into this weekend. Yes, and then to have
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: gotten swept, I mean even going into yesterday's game and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: you're thinking, okay, well, I got to put the game
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: on just to hope we salvage all win and never
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: felt never felt like you were going to win that game.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: No, it didn't.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: It didn't. Yeah. Yeah, And so look, I mean there
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: are some things to be a little bit worried about.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and just say it'll
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: all work out in the end, even though I do.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I'm going to acknowledge some of the deficiencies. And look,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I could have made a list thirteen pages long of
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: all the things that I liked about this team heading
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: into the season, and our spring training coverage spoke a
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: lot to that. But our spring training coverage also spoke
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: to some of the concerns that I have, and that's
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: a much shorter list. But the concerns that I had
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: going into this season, they've reared their ugly heads to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: this point. Number One defense I mentioned at the beginning
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: of the year. JB. Crawford doesn't have range from left
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: to right. Brendan Donovan's playing third base for the first
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: time every single day now. Cole Young's been better, yeah
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: than I thought he was going to be. He's been
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Gold Glove caliber at second base. But Josh Naylor for
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: whatever reason's been worse at first base. Cal hasn't had
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: agree season behind the plate, and I would have never
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: thought that would come out of my mouth. Julio's misjudged
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: some balls this year that we didn't see him do
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the year before. Randy or Rose Arena is just not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: a good defensive left fielder, and depending on who plays
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: right field, and you have a concern based on who's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: out there. So those are all things that were on
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: the table at the beginning of the year. I pointed
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it out that that was something that I was a
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: little bit concerned about, but I didn't imagine it was
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: going to be this bad, and it has been this bad.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: They right now have the worst defense in all of
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Major League Baseball. They are giving up more runs. And
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: when I say giving up more runs, not pitching, giving
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: away more runs than any team in the sport right now.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: They are thirtieth out of thirty in defense right now
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: from a metrics standpoint. So I didn't think it was
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: going to be this bad. That's a real concern. They
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: have been that bad defensively so far this season.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean you can point to any single
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: game and think of at least one mistake in every game.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it does.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that there's been a couple that there hasn't been,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: but it really does feel like I mean, and then
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: as we talked about, Saturday was just even worse. But
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: it does feel like in every single game you can
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: point to one, maybe two mistakes that shouldn't have happened,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: not from major League Baseball players.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Man, and it has to dry PERI ill crazy. He
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: would consider one of the best. Now he's an infield
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: defensive guy, but he's considered the best, YEP. And it's
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: not yet come together for his third basement to this point.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And I'm not And he defended JP at the beginning
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: of the year right on our radio show as long
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: as he makes the routine play, but you're not even
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: doing that, Nope, and don't have that strong in arm anymore.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: And maybe that has to do with the injury that
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: he had coming into the season, but it's it's a factor.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Well, he had an error yesterday, I mean he did.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: He did have that great double play where he jumped
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: up and caught that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Bad Dad had to erase error right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Exactly, but that was like, okay, well that makes up
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: for your error.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, so defense is something that I think is
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: a legitimate concern, and it has been a bigger problem
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: than even I thought it was going to be our manager,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: who I gave a C minus two a year ago
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: at the end of the season. I think it's an issue,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: and I do sit there and I wonder as I
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: watch these games if he's got the right stuff, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: it's not like the x's and o's. I feel he
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: struggles with a little bit from game to game. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: thought he got better last year at the end of
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: the season when he just had to worry about what
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: do we have to do to win this game and
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: didn't have to worry about who needs rest and who
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: needs that and who can I push here? When he
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: has to think about all of that stuff. I think
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: he's now struggled two springs in a row with that. Now,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: later we get into the season like he did a
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: year ago, I suspect that he'll be even better. And
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I know I know behind the scenes they love him.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: The players love him, the front office loves him. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the reasons that they love him is because he's even keel,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: because he's never going to show up a player, because
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: he's likable and yet I don't like having a weekend
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: be played that poorly and be that sloppy, and be
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: that lifeless on one game and that careless on another
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: game and then just kind of blow it off at
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the end of the week. I would like to hear
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit of emotion. I would like to hear
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: a little bit of anger, not directed at anyone.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: No, you don't need to call individuals, no.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: But I would just like to hear on Sunday like
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that's not acceptable, as just we play bad baseball this
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: weekend and we can't do that. We're better than this,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: and we are I vow we are going to get
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: better the little bit of rise in temperature from Dan Wilson,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: but we never get it, and maybe the players. Maybe
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the players get that, maybe they don't ever feel get
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: that little extra fire from the manager. Maybe it's just
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: too relaxed around there. I don't know.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe because I do think too. You know,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I understand the being the manager is your responsibility is
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: to the team and the players, but I do think
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: you also have a responsibility to the fans. And I
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: think there's not a person in that Mariners organization who
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: doesn't know that the fans were extremely disappointed after this weekend,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: so it would have been nice to have even if
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: they had to coach him, like, Dan, you gotta be
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: a little pissy right now. You gotta be a little salty.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: You gotta go in there and you got to say
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: that you're a little upset about this. I mean, do
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: you remember Scott's services like manufactured anger when like and
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: we all thought, oh my gosh, that doesn't even seem
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: it seemed like he was acting.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I prefer that over nothing. I know we're not gonna get.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Lou Panella who's angry? And don't ask me, go ask
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: the players. I mean, I know we're not going to
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: get that. But something something, we just need something.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: It can't be the same.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that one didn't work, and well we didn't
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: get you know, we had trouble getting players on, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: we had trouble moving runners. And how about instead of saying,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: but this went well, and this went well, and this one, well,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: how about we played sloppy baseball and the end result
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: was we lost three games.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: They're still not calling anyone out individually, right right, Well, I.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Mean his job is not even necessarily exis and O's
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: his job is to get the most out of the
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: talent that he has. And even from an individual basis,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: you got to play every instrument different in the music, Yes, differently.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Which Pete Carroll did, Which Pete.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Carroll did great to a degree. Yes, Yeah, But certainly
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: a job of a manager is to manage his players,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: manage his individual personalities and get the most out of them. Well,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: he's obviously not. And when you're not getting what it
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: looks like effort or constantration, something's got to change a little.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: You just can't just oh well, tomorrow's another day.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: We're going to try again.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And then the other thing, the third thing that
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I that everybody expresses concerned about, I don't know. This
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: is just a mystery to me why we can't hit
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: lefties and why no combination of players that they grab
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: can hit lefties. I mean, I'm sitting there watching the
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Minnesota Twins play because it was the only game on yesterday.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: It was on national television. So I'm watching the Twins
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: play and I'm like this. Byron Buxton makes only fifteen
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: million dollars a year. He's now been healthy for three
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: straight years in a row. For the Minnesota Twins. That's
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: really the only flaw in his game. Hits from the
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: right side of the play. Maybe it's time to make
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: a phone call. Maybe he hits lefties. And if he
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't hit lefties, if you bring him over and put
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: him in a mare in er uniform and he doesn't
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: hit lefties, then there's just something wrong with the stake.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Then we've clearly yeah, then clearly there's something that we
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: just can't control.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, so those three things like defense, Yeah, I
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: kind of felt like that was going to be an
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: issue this year. Dan Wilson. I still think there's enough
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: that we ride this out going forward. But keep in
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: mind there have already been two teams that have fired
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: their managers because they felt like we're heading in the
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: wrong direction, We're not heading in the right direction. And
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: so but I do think Dan Wilson brings a lot
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: of things to the table and to the job that
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: you don't necessarily see on the surface. But I'm I'm
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: left scratching my head at the guy a lot myself,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: and then hitting lefties is just to me, just a
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: bold mystery. And I don't know why they can't come
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: up with the right combination of guys, but two guys
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: out of the weekend that we face left handed, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: we lose both of those games.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's ridiculous, especially considering you don't even have
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: to put the best lefties against us for us to struggle.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, just anyone.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, teams will just add guys, they'll just call guys
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: up to make sure that they have them ready to go.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: And the Atlanta Braves get ready to come into town
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: here and the Atlanta Braves, man, they are powerhouse so
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: far this season. Now, I will argue, I'm not sure
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: they've really played anyone good so far this season. Even
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: the teams that were supposed to be good on their
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: schedule have played terribly so far this year. So I
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: think they've taken advantage of a lot of teams that
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: have not gotten off to good starts this year. But
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: it's still baseball, and they've still have won twenty five
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: games against only ten losses. They are the best record
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball right now. They have the best
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: run differential in Major League Baseball. They ranked number one
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: and runs scored twenty runs ahead of second place. They
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: are number one in total bases, number one and hits,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: number one in batting average, number one and slugging, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: number one in ops. So a red hot lineup is
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: rolling into town for the next three days to take
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: on the Mariners. Probably will be the game that the
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Mariners suddenly, you know, breakout. Yeah, but they're gonna have JR.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Ritchie three right handers. Will not face a right hand
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: or Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes over the course of
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the next three days against on paper our best Gilbert
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Kirby and Wu to try to turn things around. But
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: they are a red hot team coming into this game.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: They're catchers, the number one war in the sport at
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: his position, first baseman's number one, their second baseman's number four,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: they're center fielders number four. So they are red hot
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: coming into this game. They do not have Ronald Decunya.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: He was placed on the injury list over the weekend,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: and so that's what you're up against to try to
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: get it right. Is taking on the Atlanta Braves, who
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: are the hottest team in baseball right now. So we'll see.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: But it was a very frustrating weekend, very frustrating. We
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: see the team because I just really thought, okay, here
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: we go. Here we go.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: I think we all thought that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: On Friday, and I was not prepared to watch the
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: worst weekend of baseball that I've seen from this team yet.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna let you know that we do
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: have a cash word. It is cash. You can enter
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: it at ninety three to three KJR dot com for
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: your shot at one thousand dollars in Grand Slam cash.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: But coming up next, Jadarian Price put on Seahawk jersey colors.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Over the weekend, he worked out at the Virginia Mason
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Athletics Center. He met the Seattle media hoard. He and
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell had a nice picnic lunch in the park.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Is that what happened?
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: No?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: I think I may may have made that last part up.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: But he also was creating all sorts of stir on
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: social media over the weekend. A lot of things we're
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: discussed about Jadarian Price. We'll talk about him next. Sports
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M. All right,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: good morning, see you. It is Chuck foul Ashley Ryan
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: with you know, Bucky Jacobson again today out for a
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: little while longer and yeah, over the weekend, uh, the
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Seahawks assembled all of their rookies draft picks, undrafted free
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: agent signings, all in the Virginia Mason Athletics Center. They
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: got their first taste of that beautiful facility. Out there
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: overlooking the beautiful lake on a beautiful day of weather.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell was out there and nothing but a thong
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: and a halter top and flops.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: That is different than what I thought he would be wearing.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: You don't think that's that would be something Greg would
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: ever wear. Umm, you're right, it's more Condoda.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's probably more Bob, Yeah, much more.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: But a sweatshirt with a thong. Correct, a hooded sweat
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: for sure, and a thong. But beautiful weather over the weekend,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: as we know. And so those rookies got a little
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: taste of what it's like to be a seahawk. They
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: got to put on their shelves for the first time,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: they got to pick their numbers, they got to put
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: the uniform on for the very first time. And even
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: though it was just you know, a jersey and shorts,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: nonetheless they got to feel what it was like to
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: be a sea hawk for a first time.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: How great is such an exciting moment? That jersey with
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: your name on the back? I love it with the
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: number you chose, the number you chose. Poor bothered that
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Jedarion Price chose eight eight? Is it's random?
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Walker was nine.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I was like, I don't have a problem with it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: It's not that big of it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think so.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean it used to be that you couldn't
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: have a single digit number as a running back, but
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: obviously they've changed that that rule, and so a lot
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: of guys taken advantage of it. But Jedarian Price certainly
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: ended up being the talk as you might expect, is
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: the first round pick of rookie Mini camp and Greg
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Bell was with us an hour ago our Seahawks insider,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: and I asked him what was it standing out about Price?
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: Well, the first thing everyone wants to know about is
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Jenarian Price. Of course, woo do you look like he
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: looked like the top pick he was featured. They threw
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: to him a lot. He caught passes in drills, he
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: caught passes in scrimmage, he caught passes that were checkdowns,
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: he caught design passes to him as a primary receiver.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: It's interesting because he only caught fifteen passes as an
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: entire three season career at Notre Dame. Of course, he
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: was the backup to Jeremiah Love. He was much more
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: of a game breaking runner six plus yards per rush
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: and a kick returner well of the nation's best kick returns.
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: But we didn't see, and they didn't see on game
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: film the Seahawks much of him catching passes, And when
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks drafted him that night, he told us that's
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: the one thing he wants to work on, not only
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: his past catching, but his past blocking, which is the
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: steepest learning curve part for any rookie running back in
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: the NFL. So this was the first step towards that.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: But it was very conspicuous to see him catching passes,
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: which he didn't do much of Notre Dame.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't worry about that at all. He looks
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: like a natural hands catcher. I mean, it's very difficult
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: for an offense, so you don't see a lot of
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: them put two running backs on the field in the
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: pass game unless one staying in the block and with
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: at noted. I mean, Jeremiah Love is just they believe
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: he's got receiver skills. I mean, so if you're Marcus
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Freeman or the offense coordinator at Notre Dame. You are
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: gonna if you're gonna put one running back on the field,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: odds are going to put Jeremiah Love on the football field.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: He's a starter for goodness sake. But as the little
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: bit I've seen of Jenarian prize catching passes, I don't
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: see any issue that he's going to have. It looks
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: like a very natural process for him hands catcher, and
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: so that doesn't really concern me. Certainly looks the part Ashley.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, even in his press conference, I'm like, man,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: there's muscles bulging out everywhere. I mean you, that dude
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: is put together. For him to have been called undersized
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: coming into this process, he looked yoked. Yeah, not just
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: on the practice field, but John and Mike should never
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: sit next to him again.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Probably smart, Yeah, the opposite side of the run, or
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: wear really bulky sweatshirts.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: He returned one kick and during practice because he's got
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a kick returner background, and apparently
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Mike walked over to him and said, that's enough. We
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: don't need to see that anymore. I asked Greg about
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: that as well this morning, and Greg chalked it up
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: to they just didn't want to put him in traffic
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: at all. There's no reason to do that rookie mini camp,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: So there's no reason even if he is going to
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: work on that skill for the for the season, it
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: didn't need to be working on it necessarily now. But
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of different ways to read it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I would assume you could also read it as you're
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: not going to be doing that, yeah, or you're going
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: to use you there, yeah, Or you could read it as, oh, well,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: that looks so natural. I don't need to see it anymore.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: A lot of different ways to read it. But Greg
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: said they just didn't want to put him in any
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: kind of traffic situation over the weekend.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: And why would you, right, you don't need to risk
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: an injury to someone on a rookie mini camp.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So he made an impression, certainly on Greg, certainly
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: those the Seattle media horde that was out there watching
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: him for the first time. But I couldn't believe the
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: ongoing conversations this weekend. And you know, I'm trying to
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: check baseball scores and I just Jadarian Price's name just
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: keeps popping up everywhere, and so I know that it's
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: because of my habits of what I'm reading on social
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: media that it's certainly populating any kind of Seahawks stories,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: But there was certainly a lot of reading that I
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: did over the weekend from a lot of experts. Rob
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: rang was somebody that brought it up during Draftmas that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: were saying, I actually think Jadarian Price is gonna end
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: up having a better career than Jeremiah Love. Now that's
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: a little You don't take a lot of risk with that,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: because most people were probably gonna forget about that if
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love ends up being Adrian Peterson, right, not gonna
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: be too many people that are gonna remember, Oh, I
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: remember when you've said, because you're not really saying he's better.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Right, he should be the ye.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: The statement is a little soft, like I think there's
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: a chance, So you're just basically putting yourself in the
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: game that if he ever does you can you.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Can go back and say, look what I said.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I said that there was a chance, but you're not
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: exactly making some sort of bold statement. But certainly I
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: saw more of it this weekend than what I even
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: saw during the draft process of maybe people are just
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: highlighting those that had this assessment of the two standing
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: next to one another. I don't think he will be
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I just don't think he will be sure. Yeah, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: you never know, with injuries or whatever else, then maybe
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: he could go on to have a better career. I
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: just don't see it. I mean, I think Love is special.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I think he has a reason that he was spoken
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: about like he's special, and it is because he's special.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure we've seen that from jar Darian Price,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: but maybe we haven't had enough exposure to it. But
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love just looked like he did not belong in
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: college football. He looked like he belonged at a next
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: level a year ago, and so I do think he's special.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think Jadarian Price is going to be as
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: good as Jeremiah Love. But I also don't think that
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: we should spend much more time. Okay, we can do
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: it now because the draft was draft season and we
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: don't have any But I hope we're not sitting here
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: for the rest of Jadarian Brce Price's career. In comparing
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: him to Jeremiah Love, yeah.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: We should not be here at all.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Just be the best Darian Price, be healthy, catch the
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: ball out of the backfield, don't fumble you know, work
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: within the system. You know, I'll do more comparing of
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: him to Ken Walker going forward by far then I'm
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: going to Jeremiah Lowe.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that's how it should be.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, it would be one thing if Jadarion and
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Jeremiah were one A, one B, and then it's kind
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: of like, oh, who's going to have the better career?
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Who's going to But they weren't. Yeah, Jedarian was Jeremiah's backup.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: I do think I could see how that could translate
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to him having what some people could call a more
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: successful career because he might have a longer career because
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: he wasn't a beat up.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: That's possible. Yeah, I could see that happening.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, that is the concern. I'm not concerned about Jedarion
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Price's fumbles. I'm not concerned about Jedarian Price catching the
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: ball out of the backfield. The one concern I have
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: could end up being the thing that benefits him the most.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: You know, he has all the tread on his tires
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: because he stayed in a backup role during his time
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: at Notre Dame. Now, on one hand, did he ever
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: prove at the collegiate level that he can take the
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: abuse of catching the ball three times game and running
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: at fifteen times a game over seventeen games in the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: most violent sport you know. I won't say in America
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: because I know there are more violent sports, but the
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: most violent ball sport that we have, well, that's what
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: we don't know. You know, maybe you have to take
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: that abuse, but Terrell Davis didn't have it in college,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: and he didn't seem to have any trouble in the pros.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: He's pretty successful, so I think.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a benefit of price to not
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: have taken that abuse and to stay in that backup
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: role here at the National Football League level. But that
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: certainly is my concern is we've just not seen him
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: get the ball regularly to carry an offense ever before.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying he's got to carry our offense,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: but certainly it's not going to be I'm just coming
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: in to spot the guy in front of me. He's
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: going to have to be an RB one for us,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: even if that is just twelve thirteen carries a game.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, No, yeah, I mean that's I think what the
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Seahawks are expecting.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: I know that's what the fans are expecting.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And then I also saw just close it out
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: somebody that was praising him, like, this guy's going to
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: be better than Jeremiah Love. He could be the next
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Nick Chubb. What we got to do better than that?
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Nick Chubb's where I want to go.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Nick Chubb was good Injury Prague. Yeah,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: but I mean a little higher. I don't think that
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: if we're forecasting him to be the next Nick Chubb,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: that he's going to be better than Jeremiah Love. All right,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Coming up next on the program, NBA's Playoff Stanley Cup Playoffs.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: We're in playoff season right now, and now it's starts.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: You don't really get going until teams start getting eliminated
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: and the tournament bracket starts to change. And boy did
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: it change over the weekend. So we've sent a few
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: teams fishing. We'll break it down for you next on
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRF. Can't wait to
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: get out on that lake. Brad Adam's gonna join us
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: at nine o'clock talk about the Mariners weekend poopy as
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: it was, So he'll be with us at nine o'clock.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: But right now, the Stanley Cup Playoffs NBA playoffs. Yeah,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: the brackets are changing, upsets are happening. I didn't think
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: they were going to be any in the NBA in
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: the first round, but there were a couple major ones,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: and so it's time to see who's gone fishing here
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: on Chuck and Buck. And yes, I'm blatantly stealing that
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: off of inside the NBA.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah why not.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I don't see any reason to change that. But they
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: are gone fishing. Friday night, the Houston Rockets were knocked
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: out of the NBA playoffs. I know Kevin Durant has
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: liked here, but do you think that we would have
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: our brains would have melted with frustration? Slash Anger if
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: KD did not play but one game in a playoff
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: series here. Yeah, I mean, I know, I know he
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: had an ankle injury, and I'm sure it was serious,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: But man, do you not just suit up when your
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: season's on the line and see if you can go?
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: And then even if you're just in uniform and you just.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Try, you're just at least there like in an emergency,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: you know what, when we were really trying to win
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: this down the stretch.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I like watching him laugh and
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: goof around the teammates. He was the star player, was
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: brought here to be the difference. Oh he was the difference,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: all right, didn't play one played one stinking game. Yeah,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: the entire series six games.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Disappointing for sure.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Well, very disappointing for Chris Kidd in our Green Jacket draft.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: A grand total of twenty three points for Kevin Durant
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: and now he has gone fishing, so he's eliminated from
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. Orlando got eliminade from the playoffs. Good effort.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, Paolo was just beside himself. I think it
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: has to do with frustration for the entire season. They
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: just thought they were going to be better basketball team,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: and they nearly put it together. But to blow a
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: three game to one lead against Detroit, one seed or
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: not bitterly disappointing. Their head coach got fired. So he's
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: more than gone fishing, he's he's bait. He is bait.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: So Orlando has gone fishing. That doesn't affect any of us.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: In our Green Jacket draft, nobody took a magic player.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Same thing with the Toronto Raptors who have gone fishing.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: But Saturday, the Boston Celtics getting knocked out from the playoffs.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I did not see it coming, and as I mentioned
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: earlier in the show, maybe we should have. I mean,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia has never had I mean this time of year,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Joel Embiid is so broken down usually that that's the
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: story of trying. It's painful to try and watch him
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: survive a series. And I know he's had a couple
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: of injuries in this series, but he's played really well
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: and he looks a lot more energetic than he has
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: in past postseason. Paul George is rarely healthy this time
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: of the year, and he's healthy right now. And those
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: two guards for Philadelphia are faster than anyone's two guards
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: in the NBA, and they are going to be a
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: matchup nightmare for the New York Knicks, who have a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: guard of their own who's a great scorer but can't
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: defend anyone. They're going to be a really difficult matchup
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: for the Knicks, and they prove to be too much
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: for a tatumless Celtics team on Saturday night and they
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Boston have gone fishing.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a disappointment, well.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Because of your great jacket, but also it was surprising.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: But yes, as a non Green Jacketer. If I'm just
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: going that route, I love an upset.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you lost Tatum one hundred and forty points, so
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: he's off your team. Kid lost Jalen Brown from his team,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: so just one hundred and eighty points from him, and
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I lost Peyton Pritchard. But that seems like a really
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: fair That sounds like a good deal for me.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you did all right?
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah I did okay in there. So I'm leading so
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: far in our NBA with five hundred and sixty three points.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Ash's got five to thirteen, kids got five oh three,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: and Spencer Awes our celebrity, has three eighty eight. But
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: he also has all four of his players remaining, where
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I only have three. You only have two, and you're
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: there your third and fourth rounder. Kid only has one. Yikes,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: one guy on that bus.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: And if Philadelphia keeps playing the way they're playing, and.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Then Kid goes and picks up all the NHL players
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: on his team from the next bus stop, and there's
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: no one at the at the stand.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Uh oh, he lost everyone.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: He lost everyone in our Green Jacket draft in the NHL.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: So the NHL playoffs over the weekend, the Boston Bruins
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: were sent fishing by the Buffalo Sabers in six games
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: on Friday Night, and that only cost one of us,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: and that was Kid. He lost Morgan Geeky two goals.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Uh Utah was a lemon donated Friday night goum fishing
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: by the Vegas Golden Knights in six games. That costs
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: hit another player, Nick Schmaltz. May the Schmaltz be with you.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: And Everett lost Dallas Gunther from his team. And then
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay that was the big hitter yesterday getting eliminated
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: from Montreal. Three of us had a Tampa Bay Lightning player.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Everett lost Jake Ginsel, I lost Nikita kucher off my
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: first round pick, and Kid lost Brandon Hegel. But Brandon
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Hegel did score six goals for him, so that pretty
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: much is good for an entire postseason.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he got a lot and I mean ten ten
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: goals in general for him.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's a good first round.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: But that's it.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's cooked, win it for you.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: He's he's leading with ten goals, but as no one left,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Everett has nine goals, but as one guy left, Ashley
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: has eight goals. Has three players left, I have seven
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: goals and I have two players left.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: All right, we got a battle.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: We got a battle seven, eight, nine to ten. Yeah,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: and all with different numbers of players remaining.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: I know it'll be fun to want kind of fun. Yeah,
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we shall see. Maybe may the best team win.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: But there's your Monday up date. A lot of teams
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: sent fishing over the weekend. Do you ever go fishing
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: as a kid?
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: I went like once, I think with preschool. I remember
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: there was a yellow bucket involved. Hmm, that's all I remember.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I have never gone like fishing fishing.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: I would not.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I've gone fishing with the actual like huck fin like
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: bamboo reed before wow, with a little bob that you
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: put in there. My grandfather had a pond and so
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: we would go fishing quite a bit. And then you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Dad was like, enough of these bamboo, We're going to
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: get a Roden reel. So I did a little bit
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: with him. But this is a true story. I almost
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: hooked his eye one time because I was being careless
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: with my thing and it swung around, I know, and
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: it swung around and the hook hit him like right
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: underneath the eyelid, and he just looked at me, and
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: he never he rarely got angry with me. I was
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: kind of an angel, but he looked like he wanted
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: to punch me right in the face.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: It's fair, Yeah, I think I would probably give you
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: the same one.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly after he I just warned you to be
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: careful with that, and then you.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: Almost swinging it all around.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I wasn't like swinging it, but I was like like
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: flung off of I was trying to like hook it
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: into the fish, and then it like flung off and
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: then spun around and then hit him in the eye.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: So it still haunts me. I think that's the last
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: time I went fishing, because it haunts me.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: I don't think I'd ever be able to go back
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: after almost removing an eye with a hook, right, And.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: The next thing, you know, my dad's gonna get a
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: pet parrot. Yeah yeah, peg lad yeah.
• 42:48
