- 1:06Speaker 1: day off celebrating his fifty fifth birthday, So the day
- 1:10Speaker 1: today tomorrow, because you know, when you're turning fifty five,
- 1:12Speaker 1: you need.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Four days to really let it all sink in.
- 1:15Speaker 2: I think, is that a big one?
- 1:17Speaker 1: Apparently everyone was calling it doubled Nichols. I've never heard
- 1:21Speaker 1: that in my life.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Really. Yeah, well, I got that to look forward to
- 1:23Speaker 2: in three years.
- 1:24Speaker 7: Then I thought I thought I was done with big
- 1:26Speaker 7: ones until two thousand and thirty four.
- 1:31Speaker 1: No, you learn something new every day, Dick. And if
- 1:33Speaker 1: you notice there's faces or pictures of Chuck's.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Mug all around.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I had one. I ate one.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Oh yeah, did you Yeah?
- 1:38Speaker 2: The cupcake, Yeah.
- 1:40Speaker 7: I ate a Chuck's face yesterday at about four point
- 1:42Speaker 7: thirty in the afternoon.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Cupcakes looked real good.
- 1:44Speaker 2: They were tasty.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Yeah. And those awesome by those AI photos, oh really yeah,
- 1:50Speaker 4: because we didn't.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Know who to contact to get real photos of Chuck,
- 1:54Speaker 1: and so Jenny and I and Arden really had fun
- 1:57Speaker 1: making AI photos. And all I could remember was that
- 2:00Speaker 1: Chuck had once shown me a photo of like prom
- 2:03Speaker 1: and he was in a tuxedo and he had a mullet.
- 2:05Speaker 4: So I was like, we got to make a tuxedo
- 2:07Speaker 4: mullet photo.
- 2:08Speaker 7: Well the cool thing about it, And you fooled me
- 2:12Speaker 7: because I thought it was real.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Well, that's good.
- 2:15Speaker 7: The perm mullet combo was over the top classic, It
- 2:21Speaker 7: really was, because you've seen the like Joe dirt mullets
- 2:24Speaker 7: and stuff like that. I mean, those are those are
- 2:26Speaker 7: a dime a dozen right with the shortened of you
- 2:28Speaker 7: know what do they called party in the back business
- 2:30Speaker 7: in the front.
- 2:31Speaker 2: This was full on perm with the mullet, which is.
- 2:35Speaker 4: How fabulous And that's how I recall it.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I don't know if that's how the picture actually looked,
- 2:39Speaker 1: but that's what I recall, So.
- 2:40Speaker 4: That's what we went with.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it was great and tasty.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Well there he goes. So it served double duty. And
- 2:46Speaker 1: then now there's the cut the cutouts of his faces everywhere,
- 2:48Speaker 1: which will haunt us for far too long, I'm sure,
- 2:51Speaker 1: because Bucky's face is on a crack and cardboard cutout
- 2:55Speaker 1: and that freaks people out all the time because they
- 2:56Speaker 1: think it's a real person.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So that's right.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've got we've got all that to look
- 3:00Speaker 1: forward to whatever they decide to do with Chuck's face.
- 3:03Speaker 4: I don't know what you do.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Once you print someone's face out on a bunch of
- 3:05Speaker 1: like laminated things, you just throw them away and then
- 3:07Speaker 1: it haunts the landfills eventually.
- 3:10Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. I think my wife kept my
- 3:12Speaker 7: fiftieth birthday. She made one of those big big head
- 3:16Speaker 7: no get the pictures, okay, you know, pictures of my
- 3:19Speaker 7: life and all that sort of stuff, and she kept
- 3:21Speaker 7: that down. We still have that down in the basement.
- 3:23Speaker 7: That'll probably but but yeah, not the big heads. I
- 3:26Speaker 7: still have a picture of each kid the Mariners during COVID.
- 3:30Speaker 7: Do you remember that, Yeah, you could put your kids
- 3:32Speaker 7: in the stands. Put your kids in Yeah. So I've
- 3:36Speaker 7: got both kids just chilling in the basement just from
- 3:40Speaker 7: the stands in T Mobile Park. But you look back
- 3:43Speaker 7: on them and now they're you know, it was six
- 3:45Speaker 7: years ago, so instead of sixteen and fourteen, they were
- 3:48Speaker 7: ten and eight.
- 3:49Speaker 1: That's a cool thing to save though, too, because that
- 3:51Speaker 1: is I mean, that's hopefully something we never have to
- 3:54Speaker 1: deal with again. So yeah, so a neat kind of
- 3:57Speaker 1: a neat thing though, to at least remember how we
- 4:00Speaker 1: got by.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Right exactly, Yeah, let him take it to college and
- 4:02Speaker 2: all that good.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 4:04Speaker 8: Do you ever take the cutouts to the playground?
- 4:07Speaker 2: Oh, my cutouts to the playground?
- 4:09Speaker 8: Like take take your cutouts to the playground, like pretend like.
- 4:14Speaker 2: I still got playground kids.
- 4:15Speaker 4: You should and then be like, oh no, I'm just
- 4:17Speaker 4: here with my kids and let people be like, yeah,
- 4:19Speaker 4: you're the creepy ones.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I do have to give a shout out an appreciation
- 4:26Speaker 1: real quick and thank Dick for being here because he
- 4:28Speaker 1: was on the call in the storm game last night?
- 4:30Speaker 4: Yeah, so what time did you get to Ben?
- 4:32Speaker 2: Well?
- 4:32Speaker 7: See, the thing is after Storm games, I can't go
- 4:35Speaker 7: right to Ben right, I wouldn't because normally I'd go.
- 4:37Speaker 2: To bed at like between ten and ten thirty.
- 4:40Speaker 7: And last night I was like, not only A can
- 4:43Speaker 7: I not go to bed after a Storm game? But
- 4:45Speaker 7: B I had not watched the Spurs game yet.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Oh gosh.
- 4:48Speaker 7: So I was like, all right, am I really going
- 4:50Speaker 7: to watch all of this Spurs game? No, but I'm
- 4:53Speaker 7: gonna watch. I'll go back and see like where the
- 4:56Speaker 7: runs came yet post so I watch the big you know,
- 5:01Speaker 7: how the Spurs went from what fourteen up to like
- 5:05Speaker 7: six down?
- 5:06Speaker 2: And then I watched like the last five minutes of
- 5:08Speaker 2: the game. So by that time it was over. It
- 5:09Speaker 2: was it was pushing.
- 5:10Speaker 7: Eleven, okay you know, oh yeah, bright eyed and bushy tail,
- 5:15Speaker 7: but it's it's good to be here. And I just,
- 5:17Speaker 7: you know, I literally just found out in the last
- 5:19Speaker 7: you know, when I saw you start the show at
- 5:22Speaker 7: six o'clock that I wasn't.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Like running the show.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Oh you didn't know.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I didn't know.
- 5:27Speaker 7: So I was like, coolzy cool, because I was all
- 5:33Speaker 7: prepared to do that and then I was like.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Okay, I'm putting two and two together.
- 5:36Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, now Ashley's in this chair over here,
- 5:39Speaker 7: she can stay in this chair. Is she gonna move?
- 5:42Speaker 7: And then I was like, wait a second, she might
- 5:44Speaker 7: start to talk.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Here in a second.
- 5:46Speaker 7: I'm just gonna wait and see if it just happened,
- 5:48Speaker 7: to see to wait and see if that happens. And
- 5:50Speaker 7: then she started talking.
- 5:51Speaker 2: I was kind of like, fist pump.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Okay, so she asked you to do that, let me
- 5:55Speaker 4: ask you to show goodness. I saw rude.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I even said to him, I said, well, if Dick's command,
- 6:03Speaker 1: you want him to host the show. He said, no, no, no,
- 6:04Speaker 1: you host, you run things, He'll co host. Okay, all right,
- 6:10Speaker 1: Purple sheet, we gotta have words.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I'm overly prepared for today.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Okay, well you know what, perfect we can take times, No.
- 6:17Speaker 4: We can take.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Oh my goodness gosh. And that means you're now probably
- 6:22Speaker 1: thinking too. I could have gone to bed actually way earlier.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I I did way too much work.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I watched too much of this person.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Well we're not gonna start off with talking about the Spurs.
- 6:33Speaker 1: We got to talk about the Marin nerds, because you know,
- 6:36Speaker 1: we were writing the state game win streak. They snapped
- 6:38Speaker 1: it yesterday, and I feel like I just was like, Okay,
- 6:42Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of disappointment, but there also wasn't
- 6:45Speaker 1: a lot of over excitement with the eight game win streak,
- 6:48Speaker 1: because I felt like, with that win streak, you're finally
- 6:51Speaker 1: doing what you were supposed to be doing. You know,
- 6:53Speaker 1: I remember a couple of years ago we had the
- 6:54Speaker 1: fourteen game win streak and that was like all hype,
- 6:57Speaker 1: Everyone's just freaking out.
- 6:58Speaker 4: How long is this going to go?
- 7:00Speaker 1: With this one, I was like, finally you're taking care
- 7:03Speaker 1: of the business you were supposed to be taking care
- 7:05Speaker 1: of for the last two months.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Is that how you felt?
- 7:07Speaker 2: Or yeah? No, I think so.
- 7:08Speaker 7: I mean they're beating bad baseball teams, which is awesome.
- 7:13Speaker 2: You have to do that. I mean, every year, how
- 7:15Speaker 2: you get to ninety wins.
- 7:16Speaker 7: And SOFTI and I've charted this for years and years
- 7:19Speaker 7: over this you know run that the Mariners have won
- 7:21Speaker 7: about ninety games and every year in like September, like, okay,
- 7:25Speaker 7: let's go look to see what these teams have done
- 7:28Speaker 7: against sub five hundred teams and what they've done against
- 7:30Speaker 7: good teams, and almost without fail, the teams that get
- 7:34Speaker 7: to ninety wins are twenty five games over let's say,
- 7:39Speaker 7: fifteen to twenty games over against bad baseball teams, and
- 7:42Speaker 7: they're right around five hundred against the good baseball teams.
- 7:46Speaker 7: That's how you get to ninety. And so this was
- 7:48Speaker 7: a step in that direction. And you know, when you
- 7:50Speaker 7: take a look at who they have to play, they
- 7:52Speaker 7: don't have another game against a team with a winning
- 7:56Speaker 7: record until the twenty fourth of June.
- 7:58Speaker 4: I'll take that.
- 7:59Speaker 7: So, I mean, and it's just the Boston's and the
- 8:01Speaker 7: Baltimore's and the Washington's and so.
- 8:04Speaker 4: All us achieving.
- 8:05Speaker 7: Yes, and as they continue to get healthier and get
- 8:08Speaker 7: Cal Rawley back and Brendan Donovan back. I mean, it's
- 8:12Speaker 7: not yeah, we're not going to go seventeen and one
- 8:14Speaker 7: between now and June twenty four.
- 8:16Speaker 4: We can if we can, If.
- 8:19Speaker 1: We wanted to that one, I would be more excited
- 8:21Speaker 1: about the game win streak.
- 8:23Speaker 7: But I mean, you know, that's it's a stretch where
- 8:26Speaker 7: you know you should go thirteen and seven of the
- 8:28Speaker 7: next twenty fourteen and six over the next twenty and
- 8:32Speaker 7: get yourself and you look. Then you all of a
- 8:33Speaker 7: sudden look up and go, wow, we're ten games over
- 8:35Speaker 7: five hundred. Yeah, we're kind of where we should be
- 8:38Speaker 7: at this point.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Which that's the funny thing, right is it's finally like, oh,
- 8:41Speaker 1: now we are where we expected that we would be.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I just that's what I think is so interesting, because Yeah,
- 8:46Speaker 1: in the past I have ridden that roller coaster hard
- 8:49Speaker 1: of like wins and losses, and as a fan, you're
- 8:51Speaker 1: just you know, sinking and rising with everything they're doing.
- 8:55Speaker 1: And now I'm like, no, we're going to stay more
- 8:56Speaker 1: even keel. I think it's Chuck and Buck. They've rubbed
- 8:58Speaker 1: off on me a lot, but so I watch it
- 9:01Speaker 1: a lot more evenly. So with this eight game win streak,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, okay, we're getting a win. We're
- 9:05Speaker 1: stacking them up, we're stacking them up. But now we're
- 9:08Speaker 1: just playing how I expect us to be playing. Of course,
- 9:10Speaker 1: then you get this loss yesterday and you are reminded
- 9:13Speaker 1: of the fragile parts of this Mariners team that do
- 9:18Speaker 1: still cause concern aka sloppy defense, you know, and just
- 9:23Speaker 1: how one pitcher's outing can kind of make or break
- 9:26Speaker 1: the entire thing, especially if your offense isn't showing up,
- 9:29Speaker 1: which the offense didn't show up yesterday. We're leaving runners
- 9:31Speaker 1: on base, we're making errors in the field, and then
- 9:34Speaker 1: Kirby gives up nine hits and only four innings. Things
- 9:39Speaker 1: like that where it kind of is like, oh, now
- 9:41Speaker 1: that we've gone to the six man rotation from the
- 9:43Speaker 1: piggyback right, and we're relying on these starters to do
- 9:47Speaker 1: and the bullpen now every single day throughout this whole
- 9:51Speaker 1: road trip. Those are the things that make me a
- 9:53Speaker 1: little nervous and question how confident I am in this team.
- 9:57Speaker 7: Well, I think another thing that makes you a little
- 9:59Speaker 7: more ca this year is you don't see an Astro
- 10:02Speaker 7: team that's gonna win ninety one, absolutely, and you don't
- 10:05Speaker 7: see a Texas Ranger team that's gonna win ninety I mean,
- 10:08Speaker 7: I think that we just have We've got this huge
- 10:10Speaker 7: safety net that's the Ale West.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and it just so.
- 10:15Speaker 7: Yes, I'm excited for wins and I'm bummed for losses,
- 10:17Speaker 7: but you're right, it's not nearly the you know. Once,
- 10:20Speaker 7: I'm totally interested in this baseball team, maybe more so
- 10:24Speaker 7: than I've been in years and years, just because they
- 10:27Speaker 7: are so maddening, and yet I know they're really good
- 10:31Speaker 7: and they have the potentially be really so that that
- 10:33Speaker 7: combination makes this Mariner season like so intriguing to me,
- 10:37Speaker 7: Like I just like it. I seem I find myself
- 10:40Speaker 7: watching a higher percentage of the games I follow my
- 10:42Speaker 7: you know, I find myself just making sure I know
- 10:44Speaker 7: exactly what's going on, because one sixty two can be really,
- 10:48Speaker 7: really monotonous, and it's been less so for me this
- 10:52Speaker 7: year because it has because they started slow and they're like,
- 10:54Speaker 7: what the heck's going on? And they've been so maddening
- 10:57Speaker 7: and Dan does weird stuff and Josh Naylor throws balls
- 10:59Speaker 7: into the you know, and in the front row, and
- 11:01Speaker 7: then JP Crawford does the same thing, and you're like
- 11:04Speaker 7: Randy Rose Arena like runs around in circles and left
- 11:06Speaker 7: field and you're like, what is going on here? This
- 11:09Speaker 7: team should be better. So it keeps your attention and
- 11:12Speaker 7: it keeps your interest. But yeah, I'm not as I'm
- 11:14Speaker 7: not as high or low after every winner loss as
- 11:17Speaker 7: I might normally be kind of like you.
- 11:19Speaker 1: But it's interesting that you say it that way, because maddening.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I do feel like I agree with that word, because yeah,
- 11:23Speaker 1: as much as each game, I'm not losing my mind.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I felt like before we went on this wind streak,
- 11:28Speaker 1: I had not been this frustrated with the Mariners in
- 11:31Speaker 1: as I don't know.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Years, yeah, a decade, I don't know.
- 11:36Speaker 1: I can't remember a time where I was that irritated
- 11:39Speaker 1: and annoyed. It wasn't like I was mad, I was
- 11:42Speaker 1: just annoyed. I was just very annoyed, like why are
- 11:45Speaker 1: we doing this? We are a better team than this.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And I understand we have these slow starts every year,
- 11:50Speaker 1: which is infuriating on its own, but we were doing
- 11:53Speaker 1: it in a different way this year.
- 11:54Speaker 4: It was like we wanted to make it uglier.
- 11:57Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like we wanted to make the als rates tough. Yeah,
- 12:00Speaker 7: we don't mean to get hard on ourself. Yeah, we
- 12:03Speaker 7: came to because we could win ninety five, ninety six
- 12:05Speaker 7: and win by nine, but no, no, no, no no no,
- 12:08Speaker 7: let's win eighty seven. Yeah and make it really hard
- 12:12Speaker 7: and go down to the last weekend and be really fun.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Because that's what Mariners stands are used.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Travis, how have you felt like were you
- 12:20Speaker 1: were you riding that high of the eight game win streak.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Are you feeling confident in this team? Has anything changed
- 12:25Speaker 1: over the last two weeks.
- 12:26Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I think after last season, the pressure
- 12:30Speaker 8: to perform is definitely higher than ever before. And so,
- 12:34Speaker 8: you know, it was happy. I was happy to see
- 12:37Speaker 8: them go on that win streak. But yeah, they beat
- 12:40Speaker 8: up on the A's and they beat up on the Diamondbackbacks,
- 12:44Speaker 8: two teams that they should so you know, I didn't
- 12:47Speaker 8: get too overly excited about it. Yeah, and then last
- 12:51Speaker 8: night or yesterday, Kirby kind of got danked and dunked.
- 12:56Speaker 8: None of the balls that you know, none of the
- 12:57Speaker 8: hits against him were that hard hit, and and then
- 13:00Speaker 8: you know Naylor makes makes that error and the fourth
- 13:03Speaker 8: ending kind of gets away from them.
- 13:05Speaker 2: It wasn't too concerning.
- 13:06Speaker 8: So I want, let's see them go on this road
- 13:09Speaker 8: trip and get back on the winning track.
- 13:12Speaker 7: I felt like I was watching a baseball game in
- 13:14Speaker 7: like nineteen eighty seven. Yesterday, We're like, what another opposite
- 13:18Speaker 7: field single for an RBI, Like another just little flicked
- 13:23Speaker 7: litt I mean, because we really only had over the
- 13:25Speaker 7: last twenty years. It was really only Eachiro that did that, right. Yeah,
- 13:28Speaker 7: I mean, but that was you talking about being in
- 13:31Speaker 7: my fifties? I mean that was a flashback. That baseball
- 13:34Speaker 7: game yesterday was nineteen eighty eight baseball. Like there was
- 13:37Speaker 7: stolen bases, there were flicks the other way, there was
- 13:40Speaker 7: seeing eye grounders like that was how baseball was, Like
- 13:44Speaker 7: you put bat on ball in the nineteen eighties. Yeah,
- 13:48Speaker 7: and that's how that's how that game worked out. And
- 13:50Speaker 7: it didn't work for the Mariners. But at the same time,
- 13:52Speaker 7: you're like, I found my twenty twenty six you know,
- 13:56Speaker 7: baseball analytics brain screaming at me. God, there's the hard
- 14:01Speaker 7: hit rate for the Mets isn't very good in this game,
- 14:03Speaker 7: you know, no or you used to seeing balls you're
- 14:07Speaker 7: used to seeing now either swing and miss or balls.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Just rope Yeah, roped for hits. You know, that's what
- 14:13Speaker 2: you're used to seeing, and we didn't see that yesterday.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:16Speaker 7: I I.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Left yesterday's game just feeling like blah, like okay, it
- 14:22Speaker 1: was just it was whatever, Yeah, just we need We
- 14:25Speaker 1: knew we weren't gonna win all of them, right, you can't.
- 14:28Speaker 1: It's a long season. So you knew the wind streak
- 14:30Speaker 1: was going to end eventually. So I left that yesterday's game, thinking, okay,
- 14:32Speaker 1: well that was ugly. At least hopefully we got the
- 14:34Speaker 1: ugliness out in one game and we don't spread it out.
- 14:38Speaker 1: But I am curious now because of this, the way
- 14:41Speaker 1: that things have changed now over these last ten days
- 14:44Speaker 1: or whatever, as they go on this road trip, how's
- 14:47Speaker 1: your confidence that they're going to continue doing what we
- 14:50Speaker 1: just saw versus what we saw yesterday.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
- 14:54Speaker 7: Because of the the Baltimore's and the Washington's and the
- 14:57Speaker 7: Boston's and all those.
- 14:58Speaker 2: You know, I think it.
- 15:00Speaker 7: I think we should continue to play above five hundred baseball.
- 15:03Speaker 7: We should our goal over the next three four weeks,
- 15:07Speaker 7: like I mentioned, until I because June twenty fourth, we
- 15:09Speaker 7: start playing winning teams again.
- 15:11Speaker 2: And I think that's the Brewers too.
- 15:13Speaker 7: I don't even think that they might not be a
- 15:14Speaker 7: winning team by the time we play them. I mean,
- 15:16Speaker 7: our streak may last longer than that of teams under
- 15:18Speaker 7: five hundred.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Just go win the series, okay, just go win the series.
- 15:22Speaker 7: And if you if you give me a series just
- 15:25Speaker 7: like the Mets where you just look like the better
- 15:27Speaker 7: team and you have one clunker out of the three,
- 15:30Speaker 7: I'm fine, totally fine with it.
- 15:31Speaker 1: And I feel like that's the epitome of Marin Mariners baseball,
- 15:34Speaker 1: right that series. Because you're gonna win one on great pitching,
- 15:38Speaker 1: you're gonna win one because the offense decides to just
- 15:41Speaker 1: knock it out of the park all day, and then
- 15:43Speaker 1: you're gonna lose one because everyone's gonna look at the
- 15:45Speaker 1: team and go, do you guys remember how to play baseball?
- 15:48Speaker 2: Yes?
- 15:49Speaker 4: That is every series. I feel like that If that happens,
- 15:53Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, that's Mariner's baseball.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 15:55Speaker 7: And I was I was screaming a week or so
- 15:57Speaker 7: ago about like before this hots start. It's like, why
- 16:01Speaker 7: is it that we have I understand you even tweeted
- 16:04Speaker 7: about it. I was like, I understand. We're going to
- 16:06Speaker 7: lose three to four games every week, that's just the
- 16:10Speaker 7: baseball season. Why do two of those every week have
- 16:14Speaker 7: to be where you literally cannot play the game of baseball,
- 16:18Speaker 7: like you forget how you either don't show up and
- 16:21Speaker 7: have no energy or you throw the ball around the yard.
- 16:24Speaker 7: Why is it that this particular team has two of
- 16:27Speaker 7: those games a week? And can can we just now
- 16:30Speaker 7: limit that to one game week? We'll still lose the
- 16:33Speaker 7: three games, But can we just have one where we
- 16:36Speaker 7: just look like we totally forgot how to play baseball?
- 16:39Speaker 1: Yeah, because it is frustrating to watch it and you
- 16:41Speaker 1: think like, Okay, well that's how often am I going
- 16:44Speaker 1: to see that? How often is that going to come
- 16:45Speaker 1: up when it really matters? That's what worries me, right, Yes,
- 16:48Speaker 1: I think we as Maritis fans a lot in the
- 16:51Speaker 1: past we make excuses because, well, it's early, and this
- 16:53Speaker 1: team is slow to start, and this is what happens.
- 16:55Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's not early, because it is
- 16:57Speaker 1: still early, but we do tend to you just know
- 17:01Speaker 1: that this is what this team does.
- 17:03Speaker 4: We're a little ugly to start the year every year.
- 17:06Speaker 1: But this for some reason because because like Nayler, when
- 17:11Speaker 1: he came in last year, we saw some exceptional defense,
- 17:14Speaker 1: I mean exceptional defense, and I'm not seeing that same
- 17:17Speaker 1: exceptional defense this year.
- 17:19Speaker 4: So is that just a second half of the year
- 17:21Speaker 4: thing or is this more.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Because when he came in, nobody was talking about what
- 17:24Speaker 1: a great first baseman he was. That wasn't why we
- 17:27Speaker 1: got him, Yeah, and it was the bonus that he
- 17:29Speaker 1: ended up being a great first baseman for the second
- 17:31Speaker 1: half of the season.
- 17:32Speaker 4: So is it more like what we're seeing right.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Now that we're really supposed to get out of him
- 17:36Speaker 1: or are we going to get back to what we saw?
- 17:38Speaker 4: Like those things concerned me.
- 17:39Speaker 7: I think that some of it has to be mental.
- 17:42Speaker 7: And what we just talked about five minutes ago about
- 17:44Speaker 7: how we're not as up and down for each game
- 17:46Speaker 7: because we know this division's bad. That has to creep
- 17:50Speaker 7: into the consciousness of the players. Yeah, I'm sure the
- 17:52Speaker 7: players have to realize, dude, this division sucks. Like if
- 17:56Speaker 7: we just you know, we're good, we are so much
- 17:59Speaker 7: better than anybody in this division. And if that creeps
- 18:02Speaker 7: in over one hundred and sixty two game season, I
- 18:05Speaker 7: think it's human nature that, like we can flip the
- 18:08Speaker 7: script the switch whenever we want to flip the switch,
- 18:11Speaker 7: and it's it's dangerous because you could get to September
- 18:15Speaker 7: and you could be fighting for home field advantage, right
- 18:18Speaker 7: and like a second seed in the playoffs, and you've
- 18:21Speaker 7: thrown away games in May that you shouldn't have thrown
- 18:24Speaker 7: away and that's why you finished with the third or
- 18:25Speaker 7: fourth to the third seed instead of the second seed,
- 18:28Speaker 7: which could be could be huge. But I do feel
- 18:31Speaker 7: that there might be a little of flip the switch
- 18:33Speaker 7: mentality with these guys and that they will get cleaner
- 18:36Speaker 7: towards the end of the season.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I hope so like when it matters more. But that's
- 18:40Speaker 1: what you just said. There is what makes everyone so
- 18:42Speaker 1: mad when we talk about it being early, Like, well,
- 18:45Speaker 1: what those early games don't count?
- 18:46Speaker 4: They do.
- 18:47Speaker 1: It's just I mean, again, it's a long season. These
- 18:50Speaker 1: guys know what they have to do to actually, you know, win,
- 18:55Speaker 1: And granted I understand the Mariners haven't always done that.
- 18:58Speaker 4: We haven't made the playoffs every year.
- 18:59Speaker 1: But they it's early means like, yeah, there's still time
- 19:03Speaker 1: to fix whatever it is that has been ailing you.
- 19:05Speaker 4: Clearly, an eight game win.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Streak just fixed the beginning of the season. Right, they're
- 19:11Speaker 1: above five hundred, they're in first place in the division.
- 19:14Speaker 1: I mean, those are the things that we were hoping
- 19:15Speaker 1: for at this point, and then from there you have to.
- 19:18Speaker 4: Build on it.
- 19:19Speaker 1: But yeah, I just it's those sloppy games that make
- 19:22Speaker 1: me nervous because you are right, it's like all of
- 19:24Speaker 1: a sudden, they can't do anything right.
- 19:25Speaker 4: I guess I'm glad that it all happens in one game.
- 19:28Speaker 2: That's true.
- 19:29Speaker 7: Yeah, instead of having a kieer or here by Crawford,
- 19:32Speaker 7: a kieer the next game by Naylor and they're all
- 19:33Speaker 7: allowing three runs.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. So it's like, okay, well get it all
- 19:37Speaker 1: out in one game. Just let if you could give
- 19:39Speaker 1: me a heads up to pick which game you're gonna do, like,
- 19:41Speaker 1: then I don't have to watch.
- 19:42Speaker 4: That'd be great because that would save me some anxiety.
- 19:44Speaker 7: Funny that you mentioned how how they're playing when you're watching.
- 19:48Speaker 7: And this has been weird this year. I don't know
- 19:50Speaker 7: why this is, but it seems like every time I'm
- 19:54Speaker 7: not watching the Mariners game, they're winning. And every time
- 19:59Speaker 7: I sit down and even in the course of games, yeah,
- 20:02Speaker 7: like where you know, I'll watch, I'll watch, the game
- 20:05Speaker 7: will be down three to nothing, and I'll be like,
- 20:06Speaker 7: oh man, another one of these.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I go do this and I look at.
- 20:09Speaker 7: My phone and it's five three Mariners like twenty minutes later.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Like it's just weird of it is. I don't maybe
- 20:16Speaker 2: I should. I was gonna say, s watching game and
- 20:19Speaker 2: then I have this.
- 20:20Speaker 7: Then I have this, you know, weight on my shoulders,
- 20:23Speaker 7: Like Okay, I'm hosting a sports radio show in Seattle.
- 20:25Speaker 7: I should probably watch the baseball game, but then they
- 20:28Speaker 7: suck when I watch.
- 20:30Speaker 2: I swear. I mean, I don't know, there'd be no
- 20:31Speaker 2: way to show.
- 20:33Speaker 7: But I bet of the games that I watched a
- 20:36Speaker 7: majority of we got to be eight to ten games
- 20:39Speaker 7: under five hundred.
- 20:40Speaker 1: I think what you should do just start the game
- 20:42Speaker 1: like thirty minutes late.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Like the start at thirty minutes late.
- 20:45Speaker 1: That way, you have no effect on what's happened because
- 20:48Speaker 1: it's already thirty minutes in your future.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Yes, I like to do that.
- 20:51Speaker 4: Let's see what happens there.
- 20:52Speaker 7: All right, I'm gonna do that this okay, all right,
- 20:54Speaker 7: I'm just going to take the game and I'll watch
- 20:55Speaker 7: it thirty minutes late.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and then let us know how it goes. If
- 20:59Speaker 1: we lose, though, I blame you somehow.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Yeah, text like, are you watching right now?
- 21:03Speaker 4: You did something to screw this?
- 21:05Speaker 7: I'm watching right now. I allowed. I allowed the last
- 21:08Speaker 7: five runs to score.
- 21:09Speaker 1: I knew you did it? See, I knew it? All right, Well,
- 21:12Speaker 1: we do have a fun show planned for today. Let's
- 21:15Speaker 1: find out what's on tap?
- 21:18Speaker 4: What's on tip? What's on tap?
- 21:22Speaker 1: It is funny that we still play that, by the way,
- 21:24Speaker 1: because it used to be sponsored, so we played what's
- 21:26Speaker 1: on tap, and then it would have a sponsor, and
- 21:28Speaker 1: then yours it was a weed sponsor, a weed sponsor.
- 21:32Speaker 4: It was like buddies, it's always yeah, that's.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Right, my buddy actually owned that store.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Your buddy did.
- 21:39Speaker 7: Well, it wasn't my buddy it was it was actually
- 21:41Speaker 7: a professor at my in my law school at Sports
- 21:45Speaker 7: Law Classt.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Seattle. Oh that's funny, how about that?
- 21:47Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was sponsored, so we'd play that, but
- 21:49Speaker 1: now it's not, and it's like funny that. I'm like,
- 21:52Speaker 1: let's find out what's on tap and then all they
- 21:53Speaker 1: say is like, here's what's on tap.
- 21:55Speaker 4: I don't know, just thought about that, right there.
- 21:58Speaker 1: We are one week away officially from World Cup.
- 22:02Speaker 4: That's right.
- 22:02Speaker 1: It's not World Cup in Seattle in one week, but
- 22:04Speaker 1: World Cup in general starts in one week. So we
- 22:06Speaker 1: are going to get a visit from Andershurst to fill
- 22:08Speaker 1: us in on all the World Cup hype talk about
- 22:10Speaker 1: if Seattle's actually ready.
- 22:11Speaker 4: To host one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
- 22:14Speaker 1: That will be at eight o'clock. We've also got our
- 22:16Speaker 1: one series continuing today. We are going to head out
- 22:19Speaker 1: of town to talk about one of the newcomers visiting
- 22:22Speaker 1: with Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News talking about
- 22:25Speaker 1: Dante Fowler Junior at eight thirty. And if you aren't
- 22:28Speaker 1: familiar with the One Series, Dick, that's basically one expert
- 22:32Speaker 1: analyst talking about one Seahawks pass or one segment.
- 22:35Speaker 2: I am up at that time. Yes, I think I
- 22:38Speaker 2: have heard the one series.
- 22:38Speaker 7: So most of the stuff you do in the six
- 22:40Speaker 7: o'clock hour, I got no idea how I'm out.
- 22:42Speaker 1: But I usually don't have a cool what we're doing
- 22:44Speaker 1: in the six o'clock hour either. We are going to
- 22:47Speaker 1: get a visit from Greg Bell and the twelfth Man
- 22:49Speaker 1: News at seven oh five as well with Seahawks OTAs
- 22:51Speaker 1: continuing again this week, We've got a Question of the
- 22:54Speaker 1: Day for you guys. We're going to give that to
- 22:55Speaker 1: you at six forty five. Of course, the ABC's of
- 22:58Speaker 1: the MS. We got to talk about last night game
- 23:00Speaker 1: one of the NBA Finals as well. Big announcements from
- 23:03Speaker 1: Russell Wilson yesterday. We're going to talk about that, and
- 23:07Speaker 1: if you guys missed it, the college future of college
- 23:09Speaker 1: sports was talked about in the Senate yesterday so I
- 23:12Speaker 1: want to have a chat about that and some of
- 23:14Speaker 1: the stuff that Nick Saban said. I found myself getting
- 23:17Speaker 1: irritated while I was listening to it, even though I
- 23:20Speaker 1: should be not irritated because I want what he wants,
- 23:23Speaker 1: but the fact that he wants it now is what's irritating. Yeah,
- 23:26Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So all of that busy, busy,
- 23:29Speaker 1: busy Thursday show, that's all coming up. But next well,
- 23:32Speaker 1: we got to talk a little bit more Mariners, and
- 23:34Speaker 1: we are going to actually talk about last night's game
- 23:36Speaker 1: with Mariners morning after coming up Sports Radio ninety three
- 23:39Speaker 1: three KJRFM. Okay, well, when we play that song that
- 23:46Speaker 1: means the Mariners lost, we actually had nerd it in
- 23:47Speaker 1: a while and it was pretty nice here in the
- 23:49Speaker 1: winning song. The Mariners did lose to the Mets seven
- 23:52Speaker 1: to one yesterday. The only run score by the Mariners
- 23:56Speaker 1: was a JP Crawford home run, which you know, Jp,
- 24:00Speaker 1: that's what we always think of him.
- 24:01Speaker 4: He's our home run hitter Leada.
- 24:02Speaker 7: I mean, how many times he let off again, He's
- 24:04Speaker 7: let off the game like two or three times this year.
- 24:07Speaker 4: I know, but but he is.
- 24:09Speaker 1: It's just funny because he's not supposed to be this
- 24:11Speaker 1: power hitter, right, and we talk about how he swings
- 24:13Speaker 1: for the fences and oh gosh, what's he doing?
- 24:15Speaker 4: And then he connects on.
- 24:16Speaker 1: These and it's like, well, gosh, maybe we should consider
- 24:19Speaker 1: him more of a home run threat.
- 24:20Speaker 7: But ten, he's got ten's got ten bombs per perfect
- 24:24Speaker 7: example of what I was talking about last segment. I
- 24:27Speaker 7: was probably three minutes late to turn on the game. Okay,
- 24:31Speaker 7: turned it on, already won to nothing. We did not
- 24:35Speaker 7: score again after I turned it on.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man, it's all your fault.
- 24:43Speaker 2: It's all your thought.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Mets did open up the scoring in the
- 24:47Speaker 1: first inning, and it was right.
- 24:49Speaker 4: We'll just say it was ugly.
- 24:51Speaker 2: I missed that one too. I missed that first run too.
- 24:53Speaker 7: Yeah, it was ugly on the ground, nailer over the
- 24:57Speaker 7: crop for the line, throwing the left.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Field and with that Bashett comes around to score. It
- 25:07Speaker 3: was set up to end the inning instead of run
- 25:09Speaker 3: is in and the inning continues for the bats.
- 25:12Speaker 1: And that is the one thing we continue to say.
- 25:13Speaker 1: That's Mariner's TV, by the way, on the highlight eron Goldsmith.
- 25:17Speaker 1: That's one thing we continue to say. You cannot give
- 25:20Speaker 1: the other team extra at bats.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Right, and here's a place where we should have been out.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Instead they go up one nothing, and I just felt like,
- 25:28Speaker 1: when you're starting a game off that way, that's ominous,
- 25:31Speaker 1: Like that.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Doesn't make me feel good. You can.
- 25:34Speaker 1: I feel like with this team, you can kind of
- 25:36Speaker 1: tell what kind of game you're going to get real
- 25:38Speaker 1: early on, and when that happens, you're like, uh, all.
- 25:40Speaker 7: Right, do they realize that there's a baseball game today
- 25:43Speaker 7: or not?
- 25:43Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 25:44Speaker 7: Like I said earlier, there's two games a week that
- 25:46Speaker 7: they don't realize there's a baseball game.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Yeah, and yesterday, I guess I'm glad it was the
- 25:50Speaker 1: day game. I spend less time watching day games because
- 25:53Speaker 1: of nap and so it's like more catching up.
- 25:55Speaker 4: So I'm like, well, at least it was the day
- 25:56Speaker 4: game that was the game.
- 25:57Speaker 7: It is.
- 25:57Speaker 6: Well.
- 25:58Speaker 7: I was appreciative that they made sure the game was
- 26:00Speaker 7: over before our show started at three, yes, because it
- 26:03Speaker 7: was like already six to one. I'm like, cool, don't
- 26:05Speaker 7: need to watch the rest of this. Yeah, I didn't
- 26:07Speaker 7: have to watch like seventh eighth night innings and that.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Again, you know what kind of game you're gonna get, right,
- 26:12Speaker 1: because you've got these games where it's like the Mariners
- 26:14Speaker 1: might be down, but you're like, they're not out of
- 26:16Speaker 1: this one.
- 26:16Speaker 4: I can tell by the way we're playing today.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And then you get games like yesterday and when it
- 26:20Speaker 1: was like three to one, you're like, wow, this game
- 26:22Speaker 1: was great, exactly.
- 26:25Speaker 7: Well, I just feel bad for the fans that like
- 26:27Speaker 7: that's their one game they go. I know, right, because
- 26:29Speaker 7: we have a stinker every once so every week or so,
- 26:32Speaker 7: and if that's that's the one that was my last year,
- 26:35Speaker 7: I went to a game and it was right in
- 26:37Speaker 7: the middle of a win streak, and it was the
- 26:40Speaker 7: one game we lost, and like, we literally won of
- 26:42Speaker 7: those games, we did not have a chance the entire time,
- 26:45Speaker 7: and that was the one game in like three weeks
- 26:46Speaker 7: or four weeks.
- 26:47Speaker 2: That I went to. I was like, this is fast watching.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Exactly here me.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly, clearly, but yeah, that would be frustrating to
- 26:55Speaker 1: go yesterday when you've just had eight games that were
- 26:58Speaker 1: all wins and some that were extra inning and some
- 27:00Speaker 1: that I mean that were just nail biers and so exciting,
- 27:02Speaker 1: and then you go to.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Yesterday and you're like, oh, Okay, that's what we.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Did, but yes, exactly George Kirby was the starting pitcher yesterday.
- 27:11Speaker 4: Not a great game for George.
- 27:12Speaker 1: You went only four innings, giving up nine hits and
- 27:14Speaker 1: five runs, and only struck out five. My favorite thing
- 27:17Speaker 1: about George though, is when he has about bad outing,
- 27:21Speaker 1: he's the one that's most irritated about him.
- 27:23Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's really annoying. I haven't really been
- 27:26Speaker 6: getting the head well, and yeah, I just got to
- 27:32Speaker 6: find ways to, you know, get some more swinging mess.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Next.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I'm trying to be able to get that.
- 27:40Speaker 6: I think I just got to get ahead. That's first off.
- 27:43Speaker 6: I've been really bad with it the last couple of weeks.
- 27:48Speaker 7: You know.
- 27:48Speaker 6: That'll allow me to you know, get some opportunities to
- 27:52Speaker 6: to really go for that swinging mess once they get
- 27:54Speaker 6: two strikes. So I think that's kind of the biggest
- 27:57Speaker 6: focus right now, talk about getting ahead.
- 28:00Speaker 7: I think it was her first fourteen pitches and today
- 28:03Speaker 7: were the basketballs out of the saint er of the force.
- 28:05Speaker 7: Where that did that with that the goal with that.
- 28:09Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's kind of that's kind of what
- 28:11Speaker 6: you Phoebe went with. It wasn't to make me throw
- 28:15Speaker 6: more strikes or anything, just kind of was you know
- 28:18Speaker 6: that's what happened.
- 28:21Speaker 4: George Kirby.
- 28:21Speaker 1: You can just hear the irritation in his voice, and
- 28:24Speaker 1: I just love what he starts out. Yeah, that was
- 28:26Speaker 1: annoying because he he has definitely learned to control the
- 28:28Speaker 1: anger that we saw from him last year. But I
- 28:31Speaker 1: like that he doesn't mince words. He's like, no, that
- 28:33Speaker 1: was dumb. I shouldn't have done that. I'm better than that.
- 28:35Speaker 1: And right now he does have the second highest ERA
- 28:38Speaker 1: on the team of any of the starting pitchers. Luis
- 28:40Speaker 1: Castillo obviously has the highest, but even that's going down
- 28:43Speaker 1: since he started the piggyback, So we'll see how that
- 28:45Speaker 1: works in the six man rotation. But we're we're not
- 28:49Speaker 1: getting the as many impressive outings from George, but we
- 28:52Speaker 1: are still getting some pretty darn impressive outings. We got
- 28:54Speaker 1: a text on the Tacoma Dodge text line saying like, well,
- 28:57Speaker 1: should George be the one sent to the bullpen?
- 28:58Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
- 28:59Speaker 1: You're the most innings out of George Kirby. He should
- 29:02Speaker 1: not be coming out of the bullpen. He's the one
- 29:03Speaker 1: you can rely on, at least usually most of the time,
- 29:07Speaker 1: to go seven innings and even in you know, even
- 29:11Speaker 1: longer if they'll let him. And yesterday was an anomaly
- 29:14Speaker 1: with the four innings. I think, so that's probably what
- 29:17Speaker 1: pissed George off even more.
- 29:19Speaker 7: Yeah, we were discussing it yesterday afternoon and Softie was
- 29:22Speaker 7: I'm not gonna say he was in panic mode, but
- 29:24Speaker 7: he was in worried about George Kirby mode, and I,
- 29:27Speaker 7: you know, I kind of let him go and I
- 29:28Speaker 7: was like, all right, let's I could either like push
- 29:31Speaker 7: back on him and say there's nothing to worry about
- 29:33Speaker 7: George Kirby and then they're like okay. While he was ranting,
- 29:36Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, let's let's go through the numbers and
- 29:38Speaker 7: see if there's something that you can find. And the
- 29:41Speaker 7: one stat that I found that is concerning okay, strike
- 29:45Speaker 7: out to walk ratio, because remember George Kirby when he
- 29:48Speaker 7: came into the league first couple of years, are like,
- 29:50Speaker 7: he's got this elite strikeout to walk ratio. Twenty twenty three,
- 29:54Speaker 7: it was nine to one, nine strikeouts for every walk.
- 29:59Speaker 4: That is good.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four seven point eight.
- 30:02Speaker 7: Okay, twenty twenty five, four point seven, oh, noticing a
- 30:06Speaker 7: training Yeah, twenty twenty six three point six, that's gone
- 30:10Speaker 7: down a lot, so, I mean it is a straight
- 30:13Speaker 7: forty five degree angle line down on the on the graph.
- 30:16Speaker 7: So I think that is something that we should just
- 30:20Speaker 7: keep an eye on. Like I told Softy, don't don't panic.
- 30:23Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely not panicked.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Keep an eye on the strikeout to walk ratio for
- 30:27Speaker 2: the rest of the year.
- 30:28Speaker 7: Can he bump that back up towards five where it's
- 30:31Speaker 7: trending back up again, or is it gonna stay in
- 30:34Speaker 7: the threes Because it stays in the threes, I mean,
- 30:36Speaker 7: that's that's very mundane average.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not a top tier picture at that sideway stuff. Yeah,
- 30:42Speaker 4: well in that okay, so bringing that up.
- 30:43Speaker 1: This is an interesting conversation then, because you know, so
- 30:46Speaker 1: many people were so irritated not just with the word
- 30:48Speaker 1: piggyback with but with the idea of piggyback right, well,
- 30:51Speaker 1: why are we doing this?
- 30:52Speaker 4: This is stupid, I.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Saw, this is unseerious and unserious team on serious baseball. Here,
- 30:57Speaker 1: this is the perfect reason of why you're doing what
- 31:00Speaker 1: you're doing right now, because you don't know who it
- 31:03Speaker 1: is that is going to just step out and be
- 31:06Speaker 1: the most reliable starting pitchers in this rotation. Right now
- 31:09Speaker 1: because it is kind of all over the place. We're
- 31:11Speaker 1: not getting we are still getting the reliability from Brian wu.
- 31:15Speaker 1: We are still getting the good autings from Emerson Hancock.
- 31:17Speaker 1: But then you've got Logan has kind of been up
- 31:20Speaker 1: and down, Kirby's had his up and down moments, cause
- 31:22Speaker 1: still and then Bryce Miller I would put in that
- 31:24Speaker 1: more solid category. But you've got three guys that are
- 31:27Speaker 1: kind of all over the place a little bit this year. Yeah,
- 31:31Speaker 1: And so you by doing the piggyback, you can experiment
- 31:36Speaker 1: with who would be better coming out of the bullpen,
- 31:39Speaker 1: and it gives you that flexibility to do it and
- 31:41Speaker 1: then to be able to use the six man rotation
- 31:43Speaker 1: when you need to, and then to be able to
- 31:44Speaker 1: go back. You're keeping everybody loose, you're keeping everybody lengthened.
- 31:47Speaker 1: And again, long season, you wait and see how it
- 31:50Speaker 1: plays out versus trying to rush it and make a decision.
- 31:53Speaker 4: You can't reverse.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Right right, and I think the schedule kind of breaks out.
- 31:57Speaker 7: And we were talking about this to Larry Stone yesterday
- 32:00Speaker 7: day and I asked him, I was like, Larry, do
- 32:02Speaker 7: you think they'll just bounce between the piggyback and the
- 32:06Speaker 7: six man rotation based upon how many days off there are,
- 32:09Speaker 7: because if you look at the Mariner schedule, they got
- 32:11Speaker 7: a day off today, then they have nine games in
- 32:14Speaker 7: a row, right, perfect opportunity for the six man rotation
- 32:17Speaker 7: because there's no days off. But then you have a
- 32:20Speaker 7: day off on the fifteenth and another day off on
- 32:23Speaker 7: the twenty second, So you go back to the piggyback
- 32:25Speaker 7: because you don't want too many days off for these guys.
- 32:28Speaker 7: And he thought that that was probably what they were
- 32:31Speaker 7: going to end up doing. Is just if it's a
- 32:33Speaker 7: long stretch of games, six man rotation, if it's a
- 32:37Speaker 7: one day off a week, it's five man rotation with
- 32:40Speaker 7: the piggyback, and we'll see if I mean, maybe they
- 32:42Speaker 7: carry that the entire season doing it.
- 32:44Speaker 1: I mean, and if it's working, okay, you know, at
- 32:46Speaker 1: least until you get into those clutch moments at the end.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Of the season where you really have to figure things out.
- 32:51Speaker 1: But if it's if it's helping your team, I mean,
- 32:54Speaker 1: those two last two piggyback games were exactly what you
- 32:56Speaker 1: did the piggyback for those were ideal situations. So I
- 33:00Speaker 1: just think, you know, you look at an outing like
- 33:03Speaker 1: what George had yesterday, And we talked about this a
- 33:05Speaker 1: bit the other day. It doesn't it shouldn't have to
- 33:07Speaker 1: be married though, to Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo. So
- 33:11Speaker 1: I do think I would like to see maybe them
- 33:14Speaker 1: experiment a little bit with trying Castillo and Gilbert or
- 33:17Speaker 1: Castillo and Kirby something, just to mix it up, see
- 33:21Speaker 1: what happens, and see if that also elevates Kirby and
- 33:25Speaker 1: Gilbert's games, because it's done really well for Castillo.
- 33:29Speaker 7: Well, yeah, and the only reason it was done for
- 33:30Speaker 7: Miller was the injury. Right, But now you figure, Okay.
- 33:34Speaker 4: He's good, he's not limited on his pitch.
- 33:37Speaker 7: So yeah, it's so what is the reason that he's
- 33:39Speaker 7: piggybacking the Miller other than the fact that it's worked.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably the only reason.
- 33:44Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Well, and you're not going to upset the whole yeah
- 33:48Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, Yeah, I mean but okay, and so
- 33:52Speaker 1: I haven't either, But I would assume you don't want
- 33:55Speaker 1: to upset.
- 33:55Speaker 2: It, no, because that would be a big mess.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, apples don't get angry. I'd think, Yeah,
- 34:01Speaker 1: the way you had it, you had to keep doing
- 34:02Speaker 1: it because it was. That's how the rotation was, and
- 34:04Speaker 1: you're still trying to give Luis his days off and
- 34:06Speaker 1: you're trying to give Bryce's days off. But now that
- 34:08Speaker 1: you're going to the six man rotation, it might give
- 34:10Speaker 1: you some flexibility coming out of that going back into
- 34:12Speaker 1: the piggyback, if that's the route they decide, And I
- 34:14Speaker 1: would be intrigued to see if they do end up
- 34:17Speaker 1: trying this with different pictures.
- 34:20Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Back to the piggyback?
- 34:21Speaker 7: Can you like, it's just a term that we have
- 34:23Speaker 7: never heard of. And if you would have turned the
- 34:25Speaker 7: radio on and you hadn't listened, Let's say you were
- 34:27Speaker 7: in France the last two months and you came back
- 34:30Speaker 7: home and you just turned on the radio and you're
- 34:31Speaker 7: just like, yeah, back to the piggyback, and like everybody
- 34:34Speaker 7: knows what you're talking about, yeah, which, and the person
- 34:36Speaker 7: in France would have had no idea, no clue.
- 34:38Speaker 4: They would have been like, what the f is this piggyback?
- 34:41Speaker 1: And then we'd be back to square one where everyone's
- 34:43Speaker 1: pissed about the word again, Well, why don't you call
- 34:45Speaker 1: it something else?
- 34:46Speaker 4: It's like, because that's what it's called. Whether you like
- 34:49Speaker 4: the word or not, that's what it's called.
- 34:51Speaker 1: If we call it something else, then every time we
- 34:53Speaker 1: have to explain to you we're calling it that because
- 34:55Speaker 1: no one likes piggyback, and that's more annoying. I promise you, right,
- 34:58Speaker 1: I promise you. All right, Well, the Mariners do have
- 35:00Speaker 1: the day off today before they head out on a
- 35:02Speaker 1: long road trip. They will be in Detroit tomorrow that
- 35:05Speaker 1: game time three forty, I believe yes, and we will
- 35:09Speaker 1: see our old friend Framber Valdez on the mound against
- 35:13Speaker 1: Brian Wu tomorrow.
- 35:14Speaker 4: I dislike Framber Valdez immensely.
- 35:17Speaker 7: Yes, immensely, with ties to that trashtros.
- 35:21Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a real turd. A real turd.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Can pitch anymore.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, Actually he's been he's been pretty good, except
- 35:29Speaker 1: that the only thing he's really made news for is
- 35:32Speaker 1: the whole fight he started between the Tigers and the
- 35:36Speaker 1: I don't remember who they were playing, but the bench
- 35:37Speaker 1: is clear, and they were all angry because he hit
- 35:40Speaker 1: Oh it was the Red.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Sox, I think, yeah, I don't know.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Then I was like, oh, Framber Valdez up to his
- 35:45Speaker 1: Valdesi in ways. All right, well, we are going to
- 35:49Speaker 1: get back to our question of the day. That is
- 35:51Speaker 1: what we're gonna We want your thoughts on the text
- 35:54Speaker 1: line that to come a dodge text line four nine
- 35:56Speaker 1: four or five one. So when we come back, we
- 35:57Speaker 1: will ask the question of the day. We'll talk a
- 35:59Speaker 1: little bit about it. Because I have to remember what
- 36:01Speaker 1: it was. I wrote it down somewhere, but it's not.
- 36:03Speaker 2: Here, you handwritten notes like softy.
- 36:05Speaker 4: No, just this, because yeah, I have all my other
- 36:08Speaker 4: stuff on here.
- 36:09Speaker 1: So now I got to go through the nineteen pages
- 36:10Speaker 1: on word that I've got somewhere.
- 36:12Speaker 4: To find the question of the day.
- 36:14Speaker 7: He is so funny watching him. It's like nineteen eighty
- 36:16Speaker 7: two all over again. He's got all these notes.
- 36:18Speaker 2: In front of them. Yeah, I can't put it on
- 36:20Speaker 2: a computer. Man.
- 36:21Speaker 1: I can't do handwritten notes because I'd write him too
- 36:23Speaker 1: fast and then I won't be able to read them.
- 36:25Speaker 4: But yes, I do like to write things down in
- 36:27Speaker 4: the calendar. I do that.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Yeah I saw, Oh, I say, yeah.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Paper calendar always. I mean I have my phone one too,
- 36:32Speaker 1: but that way I don't miss anything.
- 36:34Speaker 2: I have the paper.
- 36:34Speaker 4: I still miss a lot.
- 36:35Speaker 7: It's not official in our family unless it's on the
- 36:37Speaker 7: paper calendar.
- 36:38Speaker 4: Well, see.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Then we have a wall calendar that's a dry erase calendar.
- 36:41Speaker 1: So there's a lot of calendars. We'd be surprised how
- 36:43Speaker 1: much crap gets missed. It's a concerning all right, we'll
- 36:47Speaker 1: be back with more at Sports Radio ninety three three KJRFM.

- 38:43Speaker 4: Okay, but I haven't done that.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly if it works for you, and I mean
- 38:47Speaker 1: you still get to sleep in and do things like that.
- 38:49Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing. Is a staycation. You have
- 38:51Speaker 1: to remember for us, we're not waking up at four
- 38:53Speaker 1: in the morning.
- 38:53Speaker 4: Yes, So that's really the It doesn't matter what I
- 38:56Speaker 4: do after that.
- 38:56Speaker 7: I'm going to pretend today's a staycation because I get
- 38:59Speaker 7: done with work at ten am.
- 39:00Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you get to take a nap.
- 39:02Speaker 2: I think gets to take a nap.
- 39:03Speaker 4: Yeah. Naps are really they are they really are great.
- 39:07Speaker 1: So it is Ashley, Ryan, Dick Fan and Travis Moger
- 39:09Speaker 1: in this morning, and it is time for our Question
- 39:11Speaker 1: of the day. So we want input from you. You
- 39:13Speaker 1: can hit us up on the YouTube. You can hit
- 39:15Speaker 1: us up on x or on the Tacoma Dodge text
- 39:18Speaker 1: line four nine, four or five one.
- 39:20Speaker 4: The question of the day.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Does the rams adding Miles Garrett change your outlook on
- 39:25Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six Seahawks season.
- 39:28Speaker 4: How do you feel about that, Dick.
- 39:29Speaker 7: Well, I mean I was already leaning towards the Rams
- 39:32Speaker 7: being the more talented team of the two, and now
- 39:34Speaker 7: obviously they've taken another step towards that. But I mean,
- 39:38Speaker 7: as we saw last year, and I thought the Rams
- 39:40Speaker 7: might have been the more talented team last year than
- 39:42Speaker 7: the Seahawks. But every game is blade of the knife.
- 39:46Speaker 7: I think every game they played this year, that the
- 39:48Speaker 7: two games they played this year, and maybe the third
- 39:50Speaker 7: in the playoffs, that'll be blade of the knife too.
- 39:52Speaker 7: And yeah, Miles Garrett helps them. I don't think there's
- 39:55Speaker 7: any question about that. But in a long term, as
- 39:57Speaker 7: a Seahawks fan, I'm glad that the Rams are punting
- 40:01Speaker 7: on the future.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Yeah, they're clearly terrified of us now and wanting to
- 40:05Speaker 1: beat us real bad.
- 40:06Speaker 7: Yes, And so I'm like, okay, go beat us, because
- 40:11Speaker 7: your windows really really short. To beat us, Yeah, because
- 40:14Speaker 7: we're gonna be good for a long time, because we
- 40:18Speaker 7: have good young talent, massive amount of draft picks, and
- 40:22Speaker 7: you have really neither of those things, right, You're just
- 40:25Speaker 7: having good old talent. And no draft picks, so hey,
- 40:29Speaker 7: go for it. You better get us now because you're
- 40:31Speaker 7: not gonna get us later.
- 40:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I will say I have all the confidence in the
- 40:35Speaker 1: world in Seahawks, but it did make me more nervous
- 40:37Speaker 1: when they added Myles Garrett. I thought, oh gosh, that's
- 40:40Speaker 1: not what we don't need that in our division. But
- 40:42Speaker 1: that would have been if he was going to the
- 40:43Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Okay, not the Cardinals. That wouldn't It
- 40:46Speaker 1: would have been like he was still on the Browns.
- 40:47Speaker 7: But can you imagine him going from the Browns at
- 40:49Speaker 7: the Cars, like, why do you guys hate me?
- 40:53Speaker 1: So that would be the only one where I wouldn't
- 40:54Speaker 1: be worried. But I mean, yeah, you don't want that
- 40:56Speaker 1: guy in your division period.
- 40:58Speaker 4: It doesn't matter who he's going to.
- 41:00Speaker 1: And then the fact that he's going to a team
- 41:01Speaker 1: that is already talented, Yeah, that adds to my nerves.
- 41:05Speaker 4: But that already makes me.
- 41:07Speaker 1: That rivalry between the Rams and US makes me nervous
- 41:10Speaker 1: because those games are stressful, they are close, they are
- 41:14Speaker 1: fantastic to watch. Their everything you kind of dream about
- 41:16Speaker 1: as a sports fan to watch when you want to
- 41:18Speaker 1: see two teams really just compete at the highest level,
- 41:20Speaker 1: and now the Rams have stepped it up a notch,
- 41:23Speaker 1: But I don't think that the Seahawks are not going
- 41:25Speaker 1: to step it up a notch. And the fact that
- 41:26Speaker 1: we're playing them late in the season that gives Mike
- 41:28Speaker 1: McDonald a lot of tape to watch, and so I think, yeah,
- 41:32Speaker 1: we got our two games, the first ones.
- 41:34Speaker 4: On Christmas Day and the second and the second ones
- 41:36Speaker 4: after that.
- 41:36Speaker 1: So I think, well, a lot can happen in those
- 41:38Speaker 1: first fifteen weeks, and we're going to get a really
- 41:41Speaker 1: good view of who those Rams are by the time
- 41:44Speaker 1: we're playing them.
- 41:45Speaker 7: If these two teams are as good as we think
- 41:47Speaker 7: they're going to be, how easy is it or how
- 41:50Speaker 7: hard is it for us to gear up for that
