Speaker 2: at nine and let's face it, a part of our hearts.
0:41
Speaker 2: He joins us here on the program. It is Ryan Healey.
0:44
Speaker 3: How are you, sir?
0:45
Speaker 4: Oh Chuck, you're such a schmoozer. I love I always
0:48
Speaker 4: enjoy my nine am Tuesday morning meetings with you.
0:51
Speaker 3: Well, good good.
0:52
Speaker 2: I look forward to it myself, and we got a
0:55
Speaker 2: lot to discuss today. First of all, what's it like
0:59
Speaker 2: to face at trade deadline as a major leaguer, Whether
1:02
Speaker 2: you're worried you're going to be traded, or a teammate's
1:06
Speaker 2: going to be traded, take us through the emotions leading
1:09
Speaker 2: up to that window and throughout it.
1:12
Speaker 4: It's a whirlwind, and I felt it yesterday, just even
1:16
Speaker 4: in the last hour. I had a call from two
1:19
Speaker 4: o'clock to three o'clock Pacific Saner time here, and I
1:23
Speaker 4: had to put my phone away and turn the do
1:25
Speaker 4: not disturb on because I was just urged to want
1:28
Speaker 4: to scroll my phone and see what the trades were
1:31
Speaker 4: being executed at the end during that last hour. But
1:34
Speaker 4: I was never really in trade conversations. Maybe a little
1:37
Speaker 4: bit in eighteen nineteen when more eighteen actually, when there
1:41
Speaker 4: was a little bit of uncertainty with that roster and
1:43
Speaker 4: the adjustments that were ineviably going to happen that offseason.
1:47
Speaker 4: I remember more as a player of desiring a specific
1:51
Speaker 4: role on a team, like, man, this team really needs
1:54
Speaker 4: a starting pitcher. I would love to see a starting pitcher.
1:56
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, you get like an
1:58
Speaker 4: outfielder and a reliever walk in the door. You're like,
1:59
Speaker 4: that's not what I thought we needed. I guess I'm
2:01
Speaker 4: also not the GM, so it's not my job. It's
2:04
Speaker 4: I think nowadays, like these players. I was thinking about
2:06
Speaker 4: Emerson Hancock this morning, the whirlwind that he's had this
2:09
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six season, and then to see his name
2:11
Speaker 4: in the front line of what this trade conversation look
2:15
Speaker 4: like and how available, you know, everyone was saying he was.
2:18
Speaker 4: I'm wondering emotionally how he's feeling waking up today knowing
2:20
Speaker 4: it's over and that he is a part of this team,
2:22
Speaker 4: not just for this season, but for the future as well.
2:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, can feelings be hurt that way even if you stay.
2:29
Speaker 2: Have you seen teammates like they tried to trade me
2:32
Speaker 2: or they at least considered trading me? Why did I
2:34
Speaker 2: have to have three interviews last week about how I
2:39
Speaker 2: felt about being in trade rumors? Does that linger even
2:43
Speaker 2: after the deadline is over? Is that something to be
2:45
Speaker 2: worried about here?
2:46
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say it's something to be worried about, but
2:48
Speaker 4: it's certainly something that has lingered. And there's examples, and
2:51
Speaker 4: there's two examples that can really break the trust between
2:56
Speaker 4: a front office and a player. It's arbitration when you
2:58
Speaker 4: kind of hear all the things about you, and then
3:00
Speaker 4: it's the trading deadline. So when your name gets circulated
3:03
Speaker 4: year after year. I think the way the teams mitigate
3:05
Speaker 4: this is obviously by communicating with their players ahead of time.
3:09
Speaker 4: I think there's some teams out there that do a
3:10
Speaker 4: really great job of it, and then also after the fact,
3:13
Speaker 4: communicating with the players so now the deadline's done, having
3:16
Speaker 4: a conversation with guys like Emerson Hancock like, Hey, I
3:18
Speaker 4: know your name was in the market, but we really
3:21
Speaker 4: feel like your value is here. And if that's like,
3:24
Speaker 4: if I hear that from the front office is a
3:25
Speaker 4: player's perspective, I'm like, oh wow, Like they didn't want
3:28
Speaker 4: to get rid of me, like they would have done
3:31
Speaker 4: it if they needed to.
3:32
Speaker 5: Because this is a business. I understand that.
3:34
Speaker 4: And when you come up with an organization, you really
3:37
Speaker 4: want the best for them, Like you're rooting for not
3:39
Speaker 4: just the major league team, but every player within the org,
3:42
Speaker 4: and you want them to succeed. There's emotions that are
3:45
Speaker 4: kind of mixed up when all of a sudden, the
3:47
Speaker 4: business side of this game is thrown in your face
3:49
Speaker 4: and burst that bubble, and now you have to start
3:51
Speaker 4: thinking about things a little bit differently.
3:53
Speaker 2: Well, and then one last question about like the subject
3:58
Speaker 2: of the emotions of it, and it's a face on
4:00
Speaker 2: the clubhouse because I was listening to Sunday Night Baseball
4:04
Speaker 2: and all the players were in agreement, from Oral Hrschad,
4:07
Speaker 2: the Clayton Kershaw too. I think lou Marloney was in
4:10
Speaker 2: the booth with him, and they were all describing how
4:13
Speaker 2: what a boost it is for a team to see
4:17
Speaker 2: the front office add at the trading deadline, even if
4:20
Speaker 2: it does cost you a friend or two in the process.
4:26
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward walking into the Mariners clubhouse, what kind of
4:30
Speaker 2: a greeting is he going to get here tonight?
4:33
Speaker 4: A lot of familiar familiarity with this organization, and I
4:36
Speaker 4: thought the Al West as well. What I'm thinking Obviously,
4:40
Speaker 4: he's not contracted through this season from at least what
4:42
Speaker 4: I looked up and saw, but he knows Taylor Ward
4:45
Speaker 4: knows the Al West so well and it's had so
4:48
Speaker 4: much success, and a lot of the initial reactions from
4:51
Speaker 4: fans and media was Taylor Wart's not the same player
4:54
Speaker 4: this year as he was last year when he hit
4:56
Speaker 4: thirty six some add home runs. He's just not that
4:59
Speaker 4: same guy. I think that was intentional, though. I think
5:02
Speaker 4: it was intentional for the Mariners to go get that
5:04
Speaker 4: player that actually, in Justin Hollander's word was churn the
5:09
Speaker 4: on bass skills and keep the lineup moving and put
5:11
Speaker 4: a little bit more pressure on starting pitchers. How many
5:14
Speaker 4: innings have you watched this year, Chuck, when it's just
5:16
Speaker 4: like a seven to nine pitch inning and like it's
5:18
Speaker 4: the quickest bottom half of the inning in the.
5:20
Speaker 5: World, and you're like, what just happened right there?
5:23
Speaker 4: Like the pace of play all of a sudden was
5:25
Speaker 4: through the roof because it's just weak contact put in
5:26
Speaker 4: play or three pitch strikeout. I think Taylor Ward can
5:29
Speaker 4: be someone that breaks that cycle within this lineup. And
5:33
Speaker 4: I also believe that Brendan Donod when he comes back,
5:35
Speaker 4: he's a guy that can break down and maybe those
5:37
Speaker 4: disruptions to an opposing starting pitcher is something that can
5:41
Speaker 4: can spark this offense and maybe those solo home runs
5:43
Speaker 4: turn into two or three run home runs and then
5:45
Speaker 4: Mariners can go on a run.
5:47
Speaker 3: Yeah.
5:47
Speaker 2: Ward definitely embodies and one player someone that can address
5:52
Speaker 2: the two major weaknesses. We don't have enough guys getting
5:55
Speaker 2: on base, and we don't have enough guys that can
5:58
Speaker 2: hit left handed pitching. And he's done both of those things.
6:00
Speaker 2: To an extraordinary degree, especially the on base part of it.
6:03
Speaker 2: But I would just ask you how difficult that is
6:06
Speaker 2: that you've been a home run hitter at the major
6:09
Speaker 2: league level through your age thirty one season, and then,
6:12
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, on a one year deal with
6:15
Speaker 2: the Orioles, you worked in the offseason on becoming an
6:18
Speaker 2: on base guy and a contact hitter. I mean, how
6:22
Speaker 2: difficult is that to be a thirty six homer guy
6:25
Speaker 2: one year and then the next year you're a three
6:27
Speaker 2: to eighty on base guy. You've improved that skill set,
6:30
Speaker 2: even at the sacrifice of the power that you had
6:33
Speaker 2: on display the previous two years.
6:36
Speaker 5: It can go one of two ways.
6:37
Speaker 4: One like, the ego gets involved, because if your value
6:40
Speaker 4: has been driving the ball out of the ballpark and
6:42
Speaker 4: then you're not able to do it, you almost feel
6:44
Speaker 4: like you're less than But also we're not certain what
6:47
Speaker 4: Taylor Ward's intentions were for this offseason adjustment. So he
6:50
Speaker 4: was stepping into the season. What were his personal goals,
6:52
Speaker 4: What were adjustments he wanted to make in the game,
6:55
Speaker 4: What were things that he learned, you know throughout you know,
6:58
Speaker 4: the transition from one organized to another one that gave
7:01
Speaker 4: him more information. Maybe what did he learn that He's like,
7:04
Speaker 4: maybe the league or teams are valuing this piece more
7:07
Speaker 4: than the home runs. Like if I'm hitting thirty six
7:09
Speaker 4: home runs driving in one hundred, maybe that's not you know,
7:12
Speaker 4: the direction the game is going.
7:14
Speaker 5: I think home runs and run production is always valuable.
7:17
Speaker 4: But if my on base percentages is terrible, I'm making
7:20
Speaker 4: more outsend the guy next to me. And if he
7:22
Speaker 4: hits fifteen home runs and I hit thirty six, but
7:24
Speaker 4: he gets on base more than me, the game is
7:26
Speaker 4: valuating that player more so. He's trying to make an adjustment,
7:30
Speaker 4: but sacrificing some of the power. I think that power
7:33
Speaker 4: actually spikes a little bit the last two months. Not
7:35
Speaker 4: the Mariners need that are looking for it, but putting
7:37
Speaker 4: him back into a division where he's very familiar with
7:40
Speaker 4: the opposing pitchers, starters, and relievers.
7:43
Speaker 5: I think you'll see a power search here in the
7:45
Speaker 5: next two months for Taylor.
7:46
Speaker 3: Word, could you have done it?
7:48
Speaker 2: Somebody came to you and said, Ryan, we really want
7:50
Speaker 2: you to sacrifice some power come back next year as
7:53
Speaker 2: an on base machine.
7:54
Speaker 3: What would your response have been.
7:56
Speaker 4: I tried, I listen, I worked endlessly the last couple
7:59
Speaker 4: years my career because I saw the transition that the
8:02
Speaker 4: game was making. They were no longer valuing a first
8:05
Speaker 4: base DH that could hit twenty five but struck out
8:09
Speaker 4: a lot and didn't walk much. I've said this the
8:12
Speaker 4: last two to three years of my career. While I
8:14
Speaker 4: was overseas, you know, playing winter ball in Mexico, my
8:16
Speaker 4: achilles heels, I couldn't walk, and if I didn't learn
8:19
Speaker 4: how to walk more than my opportunities in the game
8:22
Speaker 4: were going to be gone. And that's essentially what happened,
8:24
Speaker 4: because when I tried to walk more, I lost the power.
8:27
Speaker 4: Now I had zero value to add to a lineup,
8:29
Speaker 4: and that's a really hard thing to swallow as a hitter.
8:31
Speaker 2: Ryan Heally is with us a former Mariner, and of
8:34
Speaker 2: course so with Mariners TV. Every Tuesday at nine, thanks
8:38
Speaker 2: to e QC and Dino's Pub, we get our chance
8:40
Speaker 2: to chat with Ryan about Mariners baseball. We're coming off
8:44
Speaker 2: the trading deadline and the Mariners did make some moves,
8:47
Speaker 2: adding Taylor Ward that we've discussed. Ryan also mentioned Brendan
8:51
Speaker 2: Donovan coming back probably tonight.
8:54
Speaker 3: I would assume tonight.
8:56
Speaker 2: What a nice boost that is to just add Brendan
8:58
Speaker 2: Donovan and Taylor Ward to your lineup? I mean, I've
9:01
Speaker 2: just mocked something up. I have no idea if this
9:03
Speaker 2: will be the lineup, but you tell me if this
9:05
Speaker 2: doesn't sound like a playoff caliber lineup. Cole Young, Randy
9:10
Speaker 2: a Rose Arena, Julio Rodriguez, dom Canzone, Taylor War, Josh Naylor,
9:15
Speaker 2: cal Raley, Brendan Donovan, and Colt Emerson. I mean, how
9:19
Speaker 2: how full I know how bad they've been offensively, the
9:23
Speaker 2: numbers bear that out, but how full how promising does
9:27
Speaker 2: that lineup sound to you?
9:29
Speaker 4: It honestly sounds tremendous and I part of my feeling
9:33
Speaker 4: after this deadline was that the Mariners were willing to
9:36
Speaker 4: explore any opportunities of trading Randy, trading George Kirby, trading Hancock,
9:42
Speaker 4: like they were willing to do whatever it took to
9:44
Speaker 4: make this team better. But once they were able to
9:46
Speaker 4: offload Luis Castillo, I think the runway became clear of
9:50
Speaker 4: our solutions are already in house, and they're probably on
9:53
Speaker 4: the injured list right now or they're underperforming. So the
9:56
Speaker 4: players that we've already committed to need to get better.
9:59
Speaker 4: Like that's not a negotiable right now for for this
10:02
Speaker 4: team and also the players that are going to give
10:04
Speaker 4: this team a jolt just coming back from the injured list.
10:07
Speaker 4: I mocked something up similarly, Chuck, but it was more
10:10
Speaker 4: for a bullpen, a full healthy bullpen. It looks like
10:14
Speaker 4: Sir Anthony Dimingas, Jose Ferrer, Gabes Buyer, Matt Brash, Bizardo,
10:18
Speaker 4: Andres Munoz and then you have Cooper, Chriswell and Carlos Fargas.
10:22
Speaker 4: Does that sound like a playoff contender bullpen to you?
10:26
Speaker 3: It does.
10:26
Speaker 2: Now add Kate Anderson potentially to it, and maybe even
10:29
Speaker 2: Ryan Stingo.
10:31
Speaker 4: That's what we're talking about. And there's the option on
10:33
Speaker 4: there of those two guys. And that's why I felt
10:35
Speaker 4: like what the market was requesting for a high leverage arm.
10:38
Speaker 4: If you saw the Mason Miller request, was they wanted
10:41
Speaker 4: Kate Anderson. They're like, no, thank you, that's that's I
10:44
Speaker 4: understand it. But no, we're not that desperate. I think
10:47
Speaker 4: if you make the addition of Kate or Ryan Sloane
10:49
Speaker 4: to come join this major league bullpen, WHOA, you're talking
10:52
Speaker 4: about some electricity coming through, not just for stuff wise,
10:56
Speaker 4: but also just fan engagement, and energy.
10:59
Speaker 3: And if you make the playoffs.
11:01
Speaker 2: Ad Emerson Hancock to that group, I did not really
11:05
Speaker 2: feel like I mean, I would have liked to have
11:08
Speaker 2: seen another bullpen piece, but there are a lot of
11:10
Speaker 2: people that believe you had to add something more to
11:12
Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Diminga's I'm not in that camp, and it
11:15
Speaker 2: doesn't sound like you are either.
11:17
Speaker 6: No.
11:17
Speaker 4: I think Sir Anthony Diminga's fulfills the void that Carlos
11:20
Speaker 4: Vargas has been has left kind of blank all season long.
11:23
Speaker 4: Like Vargas has electric stuff and has always done a
11:26
Speaker 4: good job filling in that awkward like you know, six
11:29
Speaker 4: maybe seventh inning where he can come in and shut
11:32
Speaker 4: the door in transition to the back end of the bullpen.
11:34
Speaker 4: I think Sir Anthony Dominga steps into that role with
11:36
Speaker 4: the opportunity to earn higher leverage spots like a like
11:40
Speaker 4: a Ferrare has with his success. I think the quality
11:44
Speaker 4: of stuff, the experience that Dimingas brings is gonna be
11:47
Speaker 4: really good. We know what the negatives are with the walks,
11:49
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna hide away from that, but I think
11:52
Speaker 4: the upside and what the skill set of development within
11:54
Speaker 4: this maritors organization is of strike throwing. That's a picture
11:58
Speaker 4: of reliever that could really benefit from being with the
12:00
Speaker 4: meritors overall.
12:01
Speaker 2: Do you also agree that this is gonna come down
12:04
Speaker 2: to your best three players, Cal, Julio, and Josh at
12:09
Speaker 2: least a couple of them returning to the form we expected.
12:13
Speaker 2: Is that gonna be the difference? Or do you think
12:16
Speaker 2: they don't even have to that there's enough here starting
12:18
Speaker 2: pitching wise, the bullpen. You just went through the additions
12:21
Speaker 2: of war Donovan returning that even if those three guys
12:26
Speaker 2: don't step up and perform like we know they're capable of, that,
12:29
Speaker 2: this team will still end up winning this division.
12:33
Speaker 4: I think Cal and I think Julia would tell you
12:36
Speaker 4: to your face that they both need to do more.
12:39
Speaker 4: I don't think they're hiding from that fact. I would
12:41
Speaker 4: say those two out of the three that you just named.
12:44
Speaker 4: I think Naylor has had multiple jolts throughout the course
12:47
Speaker 4: of the season where you see spurts and road trips
12:49
Speaker 4: and you know, maybe even a week or two stretches,
12:51
Speaker 4: We're like, that's a that's a threat right there, and
12:54
Speaker 4: he's made some really hard contact over the last week.
12:56
Speaker 4: You saw what he can do on the base pass
12:58
Speaker 4: with his first a third if Deacon or fielder in
13:01
Speaker 4: that Sunday walk off as well. I think Josh has
13:05
Speaker 4: fulfilled his role overall. I don't think he was ever
13:08
Speaker 4: meant to be the face of this team. He was
13:10
Speaker 4: supposed to be a role player that did his job,
13:13
Speaker 4: and I think he's done that. Could he hit for
13:15
Speaker 4: more power, sure, but I'd also know he's dealt with
13:18
Speaker 4: some adversity and different things that have gone on. I
13:20
Speaker 4: look more at Julio and cow to say, if you
13:23
Speaker 4: guys can match what Naylor has done of giving us
13:26
Speaker 4: a hot week here and there, I think there's enough
13:29
Speaker 4: depth in this lineup, and I think depth that's coming
13:32
Speaker 4: where the churn is going to start to happen. The
13:35
Speaker 4: quality innings that put up crooked numbers, it's going to
13:38
Speaker 4: start to happen. And I think that is a missing
13:40
Speaker 4: link that this marri underste needs desperately for the last
13:42
Speaker 4: few weeks or months of the season.
13:44
Speaker 2: Do you think the return of the five man and
13:47
Speaker 2: being out from underneath piggybacking and six man and who
13:50
Speaker 2: should go where and what should happen there? Do you
13:53
Speaker 2: think that that is going to be a huge benefit
13:56
Speaker 2: to this group.
13:58
Speaker 4: It removes some uncertainty that each one of the starting
14:01
Speaker 4: pictures have faced. It provides the routine and the normality
14:06
Speaker 4: back to what they're used to being. I know the
14:09
Speaker 4: presence of Luis Castill will be missed. If you listen
14:12
Speaker 4: to Logan Gilbert talk about the impact that Luis has
14:15
Speaker 4: had on his personal career. I think Logan said there
14:18
Speaker 4: was one year in the big leagues that he was
14:20
Speaker 4: up where Louise wasn't there. So you talk about a
14:22
Speaker 4: mentor that has really guided him and nurtured him throughout
14:25
Speaker 4: his success and everything he's done. The impact there will
14:28
Speaker 4: be missed. But I also believe it's an opportunity for
14:31
Speaker 4: one of those pictures to step up and be that leader,
14:35
Speaker 4: take the lessons that Luis has taught him, and be
14:37
Speaker 4: able to now share that with the rest, maybe become
14:40
Speaker 4: the rock for you know, the rest of this staff,
14:42
Speaker 4: and be that voice of reason and certainty. It's a
14:45
Speaker 4: tremendous opportunity for a new leader to arise in that
14:49
Speaker 4: starting rotation. So I'm excited to see who really takes
14:52
Speaker 4: that on.
14:53
Speaker 3: Yeah.
14:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ryan Heally is with us Joints every Tuesday at
14:56
Speaker 2: nine o'clock former marinag to talk a little Mariner baseball.
15:00
Speaker 2: I kind of want to tap back into this because
15:02
Speaker 2: I'm curious your thoughts within the division, something that you
15:06
Speaker 2: said a little bit earlier in the conversation when you
15:09
Speaker 2: know you need this, and then come walking through the
15:12
Speaker 2: doors at trade deadline as something that.
15:14
Speaker 3: You didn't think you really needed.
15:16
Speaker 2: The Astros sort of embody that they need starting pitching,
15:20
Speaker 2: and they traded a starting pitcher for a good player
15:23
Speaker 2: in Dalton var Show, but they didn't really address their
15:26
Speaker 2: needs where I felt as many people that thought that
15:29
Speaker 2: the Mariners didn't go far enough at the trade deadline,
15:33
Speaker 2: they at least addressed their biggest need and they added
15:36
Speaker 2: two pieces to the roster where the Astros really didn't.
15:40
Speaker 2: And then you have the Rangers situation where the Rangers
15:44
Speaker 2: tried to trade all of their veterans and all that
15:47
Speaker 2: their veterans said, screw you, We're gonna use our no
15:49
Speaker 2: trade clauses. I'm curious as to what kind of effect
15:53
Speaker 2: that's gonna have on the two teams that we're in
15:56
Speaker 2: this race with. Will it actually provide some sort of
16:00
Speaker 2: a boost to the Rangers that all of their veterans
16:03
Speaker 2: told the front office to you know.
16:05
Speaker 3: Screw off.
16:07
Speaker 2: Will Will it hurt the Astros that their front office
16:11
Speaker 2: didn't seem to step up for them? What is what's
16:15
Speaker 2: your take on that? Or am I making too big
16:17
Speaker 2: a deal out of the emotions in the clubhouse? And
16:20
Speaker 2: this is just gonna come down to talent.
16:22
Speaker 4: No, I think you're you're close enough to what the
16:26
Speaker 4: truth could be. A lot of this is speculation anyways.
16:29
Speaker 4: You and I aren't in the rangers of the Astros,
16:31
Speaker 4: you know, clubhouses asking these questions.
16:33
Speaker 5: So a lot of the speculation.
16:35
Speaker 4: I know enough about the Rangers of what happens behind
16:38
Speaker 4: the scenes there between the front office and the players
16:40
Speaker 4: and the coaching staff in the front office to have
16:43
Speaker 4: a decent grasp on what that dynamic looks like.
16:46
Speaker 5: I think it could affect him.
16:47
Speaker 4: I'm sure a lot of those veterans are like, no, dude,
16:49
Speaker 4: Like I waved my no trade class to Kunk here,
16:51
Speaker 4: I brought my family. I settle in a little bit, like,
16:53
Speaker 4: you're not You're not shipping me out again because all
16:56
Speaker 4: of a sudden we lost the series moving the Rangers.
16:58
Speaker 4: They lost a series of the Astros, And you're not
17:00
Speaker 4: just gonna sell the farm all of a sudden luxury
17:03
Speaker 4: for them to have that ability to say no, because
17:05
Speaker 4: how many players don't. So I'm curious how that affects
17:08
Speaker 4: the Rangers. The Astros, I think are they're operating with
17:11
Speaker 4: a level of confidence that they haven't had in probably
17:15
Speaker 4: a year and a half, I would say, and I
17:18
Speaker 4: think that's a danger to the Al West and just
17:21
Speaker 4: the competition. But I didn't think the Mariners were going
17:23
Speaker 4: to roll through this Al West easily. There was always
17:25
Speaker 4: gonna be someone that was going to poke the bear
17:27
Speaker 4: a little bit. The Rangers were that for a while.
17:30
Speaker 4: The Astros all of a sudden showed up. The A's
17:32
Speaker 4: were that for a while, and then they fell off.
17:34
Speaker 4: I think there's some big series.
17:35
Speaker 5: I don't think that.
17:36
Speaker 4: I know there's some big series coming up up against
17:38
Speaker 4: the Astros. I'll be up there in September for the
17:41
Speaker 4: one against the Rangers. That's an opportunity for, you know,
17:43
Speaker 4: the Mariners to right the wrongs that the Rangers have
17:45
Speaker 4: done to them this season. So there's still a lot
17:48
Speaker 4: of big games coming then. The secret for the Mariners
17:50
Speaker 4: is handle your division and go on a type of
17:53
Speaker 4: run that you did last September when they went seventeen
17:56
Speaker 4: to eight and finished that season with so much momentum
17:59
Speaker 4: that carried into the playof For me, it's way more
18:01
Speaker 4: about keeping yourselves close enough in August that you can
18:04
Speaker 4: go on that run in September and use that momentum
18:06
Speaker 4: to catapult you through what the playoffs could look like.
18:10
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on what the Dodgers have done to Major
18:14
Speaker 2: League Baseball, whether that's good or bad, they pretty much
18:19
Speaker 2: are going to be used by MLB as the example
18:24
Speaker 2: for why we need a salary cap. The Dodgers and
18:28
Speaker 2: what they've done the last three years, the way they've spent,
18:30
Speaker 2: the way they've deferred money, the way that nothing seems
18:34
Speaker 2: to be beyond their limits when so many other teams
18:38
Speaker 2: are so financially limited with what they can spend. Baseball's
18:42
Speaker 2: going to use that to try to get a salary
18:45
Speaker 2: cap this offseason in the new collective bargaining agreement. I'm
18:49
Speaker 2: curious what a former Major leaguer who knows how strong
18:52
Speaker 2: the Players Association is, what your opinion is on that
18:58
Speaker 2: entire ordeal.
19:00
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting to be Chuck, because I think
19:02
Speaker 4: both sides is gonna use it to their advantage, I
19:04
Speaker 4: meaning the owners are gonna use it their advantage, and
19:06
Speaker 4: then the players are using their vantage because the players
19:08
Speaker 4: are gonna say this is what should be happening, this
19:10
Speaker 4: is what more teams should be doing, and the owners
19:13
Speaker 4: are gonna say, well, we can't afford to do all that.
19:15
Speaker 4: And I think you know how that conversation goes back
19:17
Speaker 4: and forth. That's what I'm saying, Like, we're not gonna
19:23
Speaker 4: break round here. I'm really interested to see what the
19:26
Speaker 4: effects are when December first comes around, and then how
19:30
Speaker 4: that affects next season. And I think that's more motivation
19:33
Speaker 4: for me personally, Chuck to just stay present and enjoyed
19:35
Speaker 4: this season because we don't know what's coming. When it
19:38
Speaker 4: comes to the Dodgers, there are so many organizations that
19:41
Speaker 4: want to operate the way that they do, and a
19:44
Speaker 4: lot of organizations higher from that organization, I mean the Dodgers,
19:48
Speaker 4: and they'll take anyone they can and player development, in
19:51
Speaker 4: the medical side, in the front office side, and they'll
19:53
Speaker 4: promote them and pay them more because they want to
19:55
Speaker 4: figure out the little things that Dodgers do. It's not
19:58
Speaker 4: just the spending that the Dodgers do. They do all
20:00
Speaker 4: the little things so much better than everyone else, and
20:04
Speaker 4: I think that's a true separator, which now makes the
20:07
Speaker 4: players that will make more money want to come there
20:09
Speaker 4: because A they can afford to pay them and B
20:11
Speaker 4: they know they're going to get the best information and
20:13
Speaker 4: care taken of them and their families. That stuff matters
20:16
Speaker 4: to players, and that's why they're going to use it
20:17
Speaker 4: to their advantage when the CBA does come up.
20:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's the deferred payments.
20:23
Speaker 2: I mean, you already have advantages, and now you're just
20:26
Speaker 2: going to spend monopoly money.
20:29
Speaker 3: I guess on free agents right now, and then.
20:31
Speaker 4: If the Marriers had that TV deal, they would, like
20:34
Speaker 4: if if any other team had that type of TV
20:37
Speaker 4: deal and other promotions that they were able to make
20:39
Speaker 4: not just state side, but internationally with the talent they've signed, like,
20:44
Speaker 4: they would spend that money as well.
20:47
Speaker 3: But would they have as much to spend.
20:51
Speaker 4: That's where I think demographic matters a lot like your
20:53
Speaker 4: location matters. To listen to the Yankees went on World
20:57
Speaker 4: Series runs doing this same exact process, like it's done before,
21:00
Speaker 4: we've seen it.
21:01
Speaker 3: But that's the funniest part about all of this.
21:03
Speaker 2: Even Yankee fans are crying that their owners don't spend
21:08
Speaker 2: enough money.
21:09
Speaker 3: Well, we gotta be more like the Dodgers. This is
21:11
Speaker 3: not fair. We have cheap owners.
21:14
Speaker 2: When Yankee fans are complaining about it, we might have
21:17
Speaker 2: a problem with customer relations. That if nine out of
21:22
Speaker 2: ten baseball fans think our owner's cheap, we don't have
21:26
Speaker 2: a chance. That's not exactly the best public relations for
21:29
Speaker 2: the sport.
21:31
Speaker 4: No, but I can't really think of a time when
21:32
Speaker 4: the relationship between the owners and the fans were at
21:35
Speaker 4: the highest. I don't that's not the product that the
21:37
Speaker 4: owners aren't going on the field and playing the games
21:39
Speaker 4: like that. The fans are meant to fall in love
21:41
Speaker 4: with the team. That's that's the whole purpose of this.
21:44
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see where it goes from here, but let's
21:47
Speaker 3: put it this way. I'm written against the Dodgers. But
21:49
Speaker 3: then again, I have been now for a number of years,
21:52
Speaker 3: so that's not goe.
21:53
Speaker 5: Am I going to see you Friday? By the way?
21:55
Speaker 3: Uh oh, you are in town Friday? Is that right? Request? Okay?
22:02
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I'm gonna I will try, yeah for sure?
22:04
Speaker 2: Try?
22:05
Speaker 3: All right? Yeah, what do you mean try? Well, you're
22:11
Speaker 3: catching me, I've got I don't even know if I
22:13
Speaker 3: have any schedule. I don't think I have any conflicts.
22:15
Speaker 3: I'll see you. I'll see you, I'll see you.
22:18
Speaker 5: I need you there, I need you. I need you
22:20
Speaker 5: rooting for me instead of Bucky on Friday night.
22:24
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, it's home Run Derby Friday.
22:27
Speaker 4: Alright, wake up, it's dirty week, the biggest week of
22:30
Speaker 4: my life.
22:34
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm you know what. I'm just drunk with the
22:37
Speaker 3: trade deadline hangover at this point, I wasn't even thinking
22:40
Speaker 3: about this weekend. Are you ready to go? Well? I mean,
22:46
Speaker 3: how much time have you spent in the.
22:47
Speaker 5: Cage quite a bit. I'm gonna hit tonight as well.
22:51
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I'm hitting balls one ten plus like
22:54
Speaker 4: the body hasn't broken yet. I told you I have
22:57
Speaker 4: two goals for Friday. I can't get skunked and I
23:00
Speaker 4: don't want to blow out. If I can execute those
23:02
Speaker 4: two things, I'll be happy.
23:05
Speaker 3: What's gonna win it? Though? When do you get ten pitches?
23:07
Speaker 3: Like four is gonna win it? Right?
23:09
Speaker 6: No?
23:09
Speaker 5: I think we get like two minutes straight to hit.
23:12
Speaker 4: That's the biggest thing I'm worried about is it's like
23:15
Speaker 4: I got two minutes straight of hitting I don't know
23:16
Speaker 4: if my cardio is built up for that enough. So
23:19
Speaker 4: I'm gonna need like pearl big league baseballs and some
23:22
Speaker 4: good big league wood to be able to sneak some
23:25
Speaker 4: over into two. Edgar's over there in left field line.
23:28
Speaker 3: It's usually someone's kid. Do you just want like some
23:31
Speaker 3: old man broadcaster bringing you your gatorade and your towel
23:35
Speaker 3: for you on Friday?
23:37
Speaker 4: I don't know my wife is gonna be there. I
23:39
Speaker 4: might ask her to do instead.
23:41
Speaker 3: Good choice, good strategy, good strategy. There. You're winning this
23:46
Speaker 3: thing going away. Your only competition is eachio. That's it.
23:50
Speaker 5: I don't know it's Stepan America.
23:51
Speaker 2: Cameron's still pretty well put together though. Oh yes, Stefan
23:56
Speaker 2: Romero too. Okay, yeth America swing it, okay, all right,
24:00
Speaker 2: all right, well we'll be rooting for you.
24:02
Speaker 3: How about that.
24:04
Speaker 5: I will see you Friday or I won't see you
24:06
Speaker 5: next Tuesday? Okay? Is that fair?
24:10
Speaker 3: Al right? Okay, now that you negotiated, he just put
24:13
Speaker 3: that cold man.
24:17
Speaker 2: Well, I'll talk to you later, all right, see you guys.
24:20
Speaker 2: All right, Ryan Healey joining us right here on the program. Yeah, Buck,
24:23
Speaker 2: He's not going to be happy that we're rooting for Ryan.
24:26
Speaker 2: Then again, Ryan contributes more to the show now, so.
24:29
Speaker 3: Here you go.
24:30
Speaker 7: That's just business.
24:33
Speaker 2: Hey, he's a teammate Emerald Quick, Casino, Dino's pub and
24:37
Speaker 2: rent and sponsors for the Ryan Heay segment.
24:40
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll even get him a T shirt that he
24:42
Speaker 3: can wear during his derby on Friday.
24:45
Speaker 2: All right, coming up next on our radio program, it's
24:47
Speaker 2: camp battle time. And man, I just can't get off
24:50
Speaker 2: this position running backs. And there's a reason why I'm
24:54
Speaker 2: doing it today because of the inside information they got
24:58
Speaker 2: shared yesterday on our shows Shorts Radio ninety three point
25:01
Speaker 2: three KJRFM.
25:02
Speaker 3: The atmosphere is being generated by a cast of thousands
25:07
Speaker 3: of little training camp warriors.
25:09
Speaker 2: And we sit in the middle of it all. It
25:12
Speaker 2: is a Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Our
25:15
Speaker 2: camp coverage continues here today and we have a camp
25:20
Speaker 2: battle going on. Tina Turner wouldn't be singing.
25:22
Speaker 3: On our show and we didn't have a camp battle
25:25
Speaker 3: going on.
25:25
Speaker 2: And I want to talk about running backs again, and
25:29
Speaker 2: not because that's all I'm ever going to do with
25:33
Speaker 2: our camp battle segment. We will talk about other positions,
25:36
Speaker 2: but I got new information yesterday and it got me thinking. Yesterday,
25:41
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson dropped by our show, and look, Emmanuel is
25:46
Speaker 2: not exactly the world's greatest orator. He wasn't he wasn't
25:52
Speaker 2: gabby yesterday, but in our conversation he did reveal a
25:57
Speaker 2: little bit about the running back in Brian Flore's brand
26:02
Speaker 2: new offense. Take a listen, so you know, maybe give
26:05
Speaker 2: us a little you know, detail or two behind the scenes,
26:08
Speaker 2: a little inside information.
26:09
Speaker 3: What's it like. It's just very detailed.
26:12
Speaker 5: I know that running back's got a lot of routes
26:14
Speaker 5: and I'm trying to learn all of them.
26:16
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yes, So it's a very detailed offense, all right.
26:19
Speaker 2: So a lot of routes for the running backs, more
26:22
Speaker 2: than you're used to, very much more. Okay, okay, so
26:27
Speaker 2: a few pass catches from an see, now you gave
26:30
Speaker 2: us something right there. Now that's some that's some stuff
26:32
Speaker 2: that you gave us. So yeah, I think that's some
26:37
Speaker 2: information right there that I mean. We've heard that Jadarian
26:41
Speaker 2: Price is really working on a daily basis on his
26:45
Speaker 2: pass receiving, but part of that was because he was
26:49
Speaker 2: a backup running back in Notre Dame and maybe that
26:53
Speaker 2: was part of his game that needed to be brushed
26:55
Speaker 2: up on since he wasn't asked to do a ton
26:58
Speaker 2: of that at the college level. But now we're finding
27:02
Speaker 2: out that, No, this is one of the differences between
27:06
Speaker 2: the Kubiak offense, which is going to marry a lot
27:10
Speaker 2: of those traits at the Kubiak offense with the Shanahan
27:14
Speaker 2: offense that Flurry's bringing from San Francisco. And of course
27:17
Speaker 2: Kubiak knows that as well. He's a little bit of
27:20
Speaker 2: a branch off of that tree himself. So it's gonna
27:22
Speaker 2: be what you guys were doing, well, what I like
27:26
Speaker 2: to do in San Francisco, what I liked about Kyle
27:29
Speaker 2: Shanahan's offense in San Francisco, And we're gonna marry those
27:32
Speaker 2: two things together. And what do we think of when
27:35
Speaker 2: we think of the San Francisco offense. I think of
27:38
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey catching a lot of balls out of the backfield.
27:41
Speaker 2: I think of a lot of short passes run after
27:44
Speaker 2: the catch. I think a lot of jet sweep. That's
27:47
Speaker 2: what I think about when I think about the San Francisco.
27:50
Speaker 3: Forty nine ers offense.
27:51
Speaker 2: And so when you sit here and talk to the
27:54
Speaker 2: running back and he says we're gonna have a lot
27:57
Speaker 2: there's a lot more running back routes than I've ever
28:00
Speaker 2: had to run in a training camp. I mean, Matt
28:03
Speaker 2: Lafloor is an offensive guy in Green Bay. I mean
28:06
Speaker 2: that's where he's coming from. And yet here in this system,
28:10
Speaker 2: they're getting to get a lot more creative, have a
28:13
Speaker 2: lot more ways to get running backs the football, which
28:17
Speaker 2: I find enticing as long as you have the horses
28:20
Speaker 2: that can do that.
28:21
Speaker 3: I mean, we don't have a Christian McCaffrey on this roster, no.
28:27
Speaker 2: Exactly. So it's one thing to in theory, say, man,
28:31
Speaker 2: I really liked doing that with Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco.
28:35
Speaker 2: It's another thing to do it with guys not named
28:37
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey. But I do like the idea that we're
28:41
Speaker 2: going to get creative with that, and I certainly expect
28:44
Speaker 2: that we're going to get creative in the running game
28:47
Speaker 2: with some receivers as well.
28:50
Speaker 3: With Rashid Shahed.
28:52
Speaker 2: I mean, you couldn't get further away Rashid Shaheed from
28:55
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel and the types of receivers they are, and
28:59
Speaker 2: yet I think he can still play that same role
29:02
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, two three runs a game
29:05
Speaker 2: from Rashid Shahi taking advantage of that speed of his
29:09
Speaker 2: and we already know that we're going to see a
29:12
Speaker 2: lot more tight end usage and tight end usage down
29:15
Speaker 2: the field as well. Those are also things that we
29:18
Speaker 2: admired in that San Francisco offense that we had to
29:21
Speaker 2: go again. So yes, when you talk about marrying what
29:25
Speaker 2: we've seen from the Seahawks offense in the last year
29:29
Speaker 2: to what we've seen from the San Francisco forty nine
29:31
Speaker 2: ers in recent years under Kyle Shanahan, those are some
29:34
Speaker 2: of the traits Ashley, that I wanted to see Brian
29:37
Speaker 2: Flurry steal away and an ingest or inject I should say,
29:44
Speaker 2: not in jest, inject into what we're doing up here
29:47
Speaker 2: in Seattle.
29:48
Speaker 6: So I like it.
29:49
Speaker 2: I like it in theory, but it's one thing to
29:52
Speaker 2: have a theory about it, and it's another thing to
29:54
Speaker 2: put it in practice, and still yet another thing to
29:58
Speaker 2: have the type of players that you need to execute
30:01
Speaker 2: these things.
30:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:02
Speaker 6: I mean we've talked a lot about to what could
30:04
Speaker 6: Brian Flury do with aj Barner and Arroyo and other
30:07
Speaker 6: people because of what you know, how successful George Kittle was,
30:10
Speaker 6: But again, is it because it's George Kittle or is
30:13
Speaker 6: it because of the coaching that he got. I'm gonna
30:16
Speaker 6: say part of it or a lot of it has
30:18
Speaker 6: to do with because it's George Kittle. And I think
30:20
Speaker 6: a similar situation here. But I don't think that all
30:23
Speaker 6: hope is lost because we don't have Christian McCaffrey or
30:25
Speaker 6: Deebo Samuel. And I think it'll be a variation. I'm
30:28
Speaker 6: excited to see it, and I think especially for Seahawks fans.
30:30
Speaker 6: I mean, we went through a couple of years of
30:32
Speaker 6: just seeing such, you know, the same offense kind of
30:35
Speaker 6: over and over and over, and it was it got
30:38
Speaker 6: boring watching in games, and so I think to have
30:40
Speaker 6: seen what we saw last year with some differences and
30:42
Speaker 6: then if we're gonna you know, change it now under
30:45
Speaker 6: Brian Flury, I just I think it's all going in
30:48
Speaker 6: the right direction. And I think Mike McDonald just kind of,
30:51
Speaker 6: you know, he's like the chess master up there.
30:53
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna find out a little bit more on
30:56
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks here tonight Tuesday, episode first one six o'clock
31:01
Speaker 2: airing on HBO, and it'll be a big part of
31:04
Speaker 2: our show tomorrow, responding to the first ever Seahawks Hard
31:08
Speaker 2: Knocks episode.
31:09
Speaker 3: We're gonna close out our show with one last thing.
31:11
Speaker 2: It is coming your way next on Sports Radio ninety
31:14
Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM.
31:28
Speaker 3: All Right, it is our.
31:30
Speaker 2: Final segment of the show. We're from Seahawks training camp
31:33
Speaker 2: on a Tuesday. It is time for one last thing.
31:38
Speaker 2: I do want to clarify one thing quickly. I was saying,
31:42
Speaker 2: just to be clear on that last segment, we don't have.
31:44
Speaker 3: A Christian McCaffrey.
31:46
Speaker 2: I was not saying that Rashid sh Head cannot match
31:49
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel. What I was saying was their styles are
31:53
Speaker 2: completely opposite of one another. One's a big, giant bruiser
31:56
Speaker 2: named Deebo, and then the other one is obviously smaller
32:00
Speaker 2: and fleet of foot. So I think Rashidchi could be
32:03
Speaker 2: very dangerous, as dangerous, maybe not as dangerous as Deebo Samuel.
32:08
Speaker 2: But yes, just to be clear, I think Christian McCaffrey,
32:11
Speaker 2: we don't have a Christian McCaffrey.
32:13
Speaker 3: Where she Head and Debo was just a comment about
32:17
Speaker 3: how different they are as offensive weapons. All right, what
32:20
Speaker 3: do you got for one last thing? Ashley?
32:22
Speaker 7: This is going to be very random.
32:24
Speaker 6: But we have like a tech chat, you know, thing
32:27
Speaker 6: that goes on teams where people there's issues with whatever
32:30
Speaker 6: studio and whatever is going on. Well, one of the
32:32
Speaker 6: things that has been a recurring issue over the last
32:35
Speaker 6: couple of weeks has been resetting things since the World
32:38
Speaker 6: Cup broadcast, because some things were changed for the World
32:40
Speaker 6: Cup broadcast.
32:41
Speaker 7: And it just dawned on me.
32:43
Speaker 6: Today, like the World Cup just ended two weeks ago,
32:46
Speaker 6: and already it feels like it was six months ago.
32:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that weird?
32:52
Speaker 7: No, I mean maybe not six months ago, but it
32:54
Speaker 7: feels like it was a long time ago.
32:56
Speaker 6: And that was a whirlwind for that whole month that
32:58
Speaker 6: things were going on, and it was so and so
33:00
Speaker 6: awesome and great, especially when the US was in it,
33:03
Speaker 6: but even the whole thing, it just I was like,
33:05
Speaker 6: oh gosh, yeah, I forgot about the World Cup.
33:07
Speaker 3: That was a thing. Yeah, turns out it was a
33:11
Speaker 3: big deal.
33:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, it turns out a lot of people paid attention.
33:13
Speaker 6: But it was I kind of was like, huh, yeah,
33:16
Speaker 6: we did that.
33:17
Speaker 3: I'll be damned. Yeah, who knew? Yeah?
33:19
Speaker 7: Rare View marrid it, Yeah, fully, I really did. I
33:23
Speaker 7: just shocked about it. I was like, oh, Ashley, come on, well, I.
33:29
Speaker 3: Did enjoy it, but yeah, I liked the idea of
33:35
Speaker 3: every four years we built back up to that.
33:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm okay with that. I don't think we need
33:38
Speaker 7: more of it.
33:39
Speaker 6: And it wasn't like, oh I'm sad, it wasn't anything.
33:41
Speaker 6: I mean, it was great fun while it lasted. It's
33:44
Speaker 6: just a weird thing that we can do to ourselves.
33:46
Speaker 6: Where at the time it felt like we were in
33:49
Speaker 6: the World Cup for several months and we weren't.
33:53
Speaker 7: And now it seems like it was only it ended
33:55
Speaker 7: two weeks ago, but it was forever ago.
33:58
Speaker 3: Yeah sounds like my third marriage.
34:01
Speaker 7: I'm sure it does. Sure it does. Lasted way too long,
34:06
Speaker 7: did it.
34:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it seemed like it went on forever and
34:09
Speaker 2: yet such a distant memory.
34:11
Speaker 3: Now, Oh boy, young love, I was only eighteen.
34:16
Speaker 7: Oh those were the days third marriage.
34:18
Speaker 3: Yeah.
34:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, fresh out of high school.
34:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just make mistakes when you're a teenager like that. Amen,
34:25
Speaker 3: I'm going.
34:25
Speaker 2: To close with a couple of things. Number One, I
34:28
Speaker 2: don't I I'm mostly because of what time we get up,
34:32
Speaker 2: get dressed in the dark. I mean, I do have
34:35
Speaker 2: a light and I have a TV to go by,
34:37
Speaker 2: but I pretty much get dressed in the dark. And
34:39
Speaker 2: I also have like black socks that there's really not
34:44
Speaker 2: much of a difference the way they look when they're
34:47
Speaker 2: inside out or right side out, you know what I'm saying.
34:52
Speaker 3: And so because of those two.
34:54
Speaker 2: Factors, I will bet that my ratio of having one
34:59
Speaker 2: sock in side side out is probably about thirty four percent,
35:05
Speaker 2: like thirty four percent of my day.
35:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was hoping that would come across
35:10
Speaker 3: as pretty high. But you would think that in the dark,
35:14
Speaker 3: that even in the dark, that you could have a
35:17
Speaker 3: better ratio than that. You could just tell by the texture,
35:20
Speaker 3: and more often than not, most often.
35:24
Speaker 2: You would get that right. But I really don't. And
35:26
Speaker 2: today is one of those days. I just looked down
35:29
Speaker 2: and I have one sock inside out. No, not exactly
35:35
Speaker 2: my greatest skill. The other thing I wanted to mention
35:39
Speaker 2: here today I pointed this out on the text which
35:42
Speaker 2: last night our show text, which rarely I do I
35:45
Speaker 2: do unless we're going to talk about it the next day.
35:48
Speaker 2: But now that I'm talking about it the next day,
35:50
Speaker 2: I can put a check by that. Chaoscar Hernandez, former
35:54
Speaker 2: Mariner hit one of the longest home runs I have
35:56
Speaker 2: ever seen in my life last night. It was one
35:59
Speaker 2: of those home runs where you could tell he was
36:02
Speaker 2: trying to hit a home run and he connected with
36:05
Speaker 2: the home run and he like spun, He like spun
36:08
Speaker 2: toward the ball, He like exploded toward the ball, and
36:11
Speaker 2: he just met it perfectly. It was like everything came together.
36:15
Speaker 2: He was trying to hit it as far as he could.
36:17
Speaker 2: He got the pitch, he got the swing on it,
36:20
Speaker 2: he got the wood on it. He was in the
36:21
Speaker 2: right ballpark where it looks beautiful. It left all of
36:25
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field last night and landed somewhere in the darkness.
36:30
Speaker 3: We still don't even know.
36:31
Speaker 2: And yet they measured it at four hundred and forty
36:34
Speaker 2: three feet. I would have met it was five hundred
36:37
Speaker 2: and forty feet. Yeah, that he hit the ball. But
36:40
Speaker 2: he obliterated that ball last night, and to the point
36:44
Speaker 2: where he couldn't He was like giggling rounding third. He
36:47
Speaker 2: couldn't even get to the dugout because he was like giggling,
36:50
Speaker 2: like I got that one.
36:52
Speaker 3: You know what they talk about, like did you get
36:54
Speaker 3: it all? Yeah, it doesn't happen that much. For players.
36:58
Speaker 3: He got it all.
36:59
Speaker 2: He got all of that one tay Oscar Hernandez last night,
37:03
Speaker 2: and man, it left all of Wrigley Field.
37:06
Speaker 3: It was incredible.
37:07
Speaker 7: Did you see who did not get it all?
37:10
Speaker 3: Our own?
37:10
Speaker 6: Sweet sweet Taylor Tremmel in the Astros game, thought he
37:14
Speaker 6: hit a home run, rounded all the bases, stomped on
37:17
Speaker 6: home plate, put his finger up to the sky, walked
37:20
Speaker 6: to the dugout, and was like, wait what he caught
37:23
Speaker 6: it at the wall?
37:24
Speaker 3: Oh?
37:26
Speaker 7: Oh, so that's not a home run?
37:27
Speaker 2: Right?
37:28
Speaker 3: Oh, poor Taylor.
37:29
Speaker 6: I know, I was like, oh, Taylor, that's all the
37:31
Speaker 6: way to the duck, all the way runs keeps running
37:34
Speaker 6: around the bases, has no idea this guy caught it
37:36
Speaker 6: at the wall.
37:40
Speaker 3: Nobody told him.
37:41
Speaker 7: Nobody, I mean, I don't know.
37:43
Speaker 3: I guess shortstop didn't say hey, man, that got caught.
37:47
Speaker 7: They just let him keep going.
37:51
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.
37:52
Speaker 2: See, that's the difference between getting at all and not
37:57
Speaker 2: getting at all. Correct right there, Tayo had no doubt
38:01
Speaker 2: that his was leaving the ballpark, and Taylor Tramell, Yes,
38:06
Speaker 2: Taylor Tremell held onto that lie for three hundred and
38:10
Speaker 2: sixty feet and counting. So hey, Former Mariners in the news. Now,
38:16
Speaker 2: I just watch a lot of games at Wrigley, and
38:18
Speaker 2: there's that there's that brick building. I don't even know
38:21
Speaker 2: if it's still there, but it's across the way across
38:24
Speaker 2: the street Waveland Avenue. And there are you know, stories
38:28
Speaker 2: of guys that have hit it off of that apartment building. Yeah,
38:33
Speaker 2: and there's even I was even watching a game true story.
38:37
Speaker 2: I remember his name, Barry Foot, not exactly a well
38:41
Speaker 2: known name. Barry Foot hit one on top of that
38:45
Speaker 2: Glenn Allen Hill hit one on top of that apartment
38:51
Speaker 2: high rise across the street. So I guess further ones
38:55
Speaker 2: have been hit even at Wrigley. Be tay oscars Man.
38:59
Speaker 2: It went into the night. I didn't even see it drop.
39:01
Speaker 2: It might not have landed. Well, it might still be
39:03
Speaker 2: orbiting earth.
