- 0:58Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three k JRFM. Here we go, Seattle.
- 1:02Speaker 1: We aim to go where you've never been, the World Series,
- 1:07Speaker 1: the Fall, Classic baseball immortality. But we cannot get ahead
- 1:12Speaker 1: of ourselves because we can't get there without first winning tonight.
- 1:16Speaker 1: But oh with a wind tonight, Oh to beat scooball
- 1:20Speaker 1: again tonight, the roof will come clear off of this city.
- 1:24Speaker 1: They'll feel it in snow Qualmy, they'll feel it in
- 1:27Speaker 1: squim they'll feel it in Olympia and in Bellingham. Hell,
- 1:31Speaker 1: they'll feel it in Mozambique, Mongolia or Pakistan, and they
- 1:35Speaker 1: will definitely feel it in Toronto. It's that kind of night, Seattle,
- 1:40Speaker 1: when you hug your loved ones at the beginning of
- 1:43Speaker 1: the morning for strength, and then you hopefully jump up
- 1:46Speaker 1: and down with them in celebration at the time of
- 1:49Speaker 1: the victory. The night is here, the kind of night
- 1:54Speaker 1: that you will tell your grandchildren about someday. It's this
- 1:59Speaker 1: kind to night stump you into the earth tonight, and
- 2:03Speaker 1: so you can bring all comers. We will will take
- 2:07Speaker 1: Cat Rock's famous song if you want ball with Tiba, Yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 1: we know what that means. Tigers are losing and so
- 2:15Speaker 1: here we go Game number five, buckety, let's get it all.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Oh man, there's not a whole heck of a lot better.
- 2:21Speaker 4: I mean, you know I that song then puts me
- 2:25Speaker 4: into a frame of mind where I don't have anything
- 2:28Speaker 4: other than excitement for the game five. There's nothing about well,
- 2:31Speaker 4: I wish it would have went this well. I would
- 2:33Speaker 4: have been well, what if I don't give up? What
- 2:37Speaker 4: if all I care about is what if we go
- 2:40Speaker 4: the other way? What if we do it the way
- 2:42Speaker 4: that we can do it, because that is what season,
- 2:45Speaker 4: the opportunity is all about.
- 2:46Speaker 1: And this team.
- 2:47Speaker 4: If there's not one thing we've got to enjoy, is
- 2:50Speaker 4: that this team kind of feels that they kind of
- 2:52Speaker 4: feel like we can do things that other people maybe
- 2:55Speaker 4: didn't think we could do. In the spring training or
- 2:58Speaker 4: during the off season, the front office went out, made
- 3:01Speaker 4: a couple moves, added some dudes that I think bring
- 3:03Speaker 4: something to the table. And right now we're a better
- 3:06Speaker 4: team than there. You just got to go out and
- 3:08Speaker 4: prove it, and you got nine innings to do it.
- 3:11Speaker 4: I think they're going to get it done. I think
- 3:12Speaker 4: we're going to have the probably the best Friday that
- 3:15Speaker 4: a lot of people wish we never had.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of people right now. I don't
- 3:21Speaker 1: want I do.
- 3:22Speaker 4: What if I feel desponded and totally depressed at the
- 3:27Speaker 4: end of But what if you get to feel what
- 3:30Speaker 4: we're going to feel when we walk out of there victorious.
- 3:33Speaker 4: We saw it when on that game they won, the
- 3:35Speaker 4: party that was going on outside of the of.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Teams were playing too.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you win Game five, this place is gonna
- 3:42Speaker 4: go absolutely berserk and you couldn't have done that unless
- 3:45Speaker 4: you lost Game four. So you know what, I'm glad
- 3:47Speaker 4: we lost Game four. Now, yeah, let's bring it game five.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I just bring it. Let's just make it all that.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And this will be the first time, by the way,
- 3:54Speaker 1: that the three of us will be in the building
- 3:56Speaker 1: together for the series. There you go, yeah uh, and
- 4:01Speaker 1: Ken Griffy Junior is going to be there. It sounds
- 4:04Speaker 1: like to throw out the first pitch. So this will
- 4:05Speaker 1: be the first time that Ashley, Bucky, myself, and Ken
- 4:08Speaker 1: Griffy Junior will be together in the same building. That's
- 4:11Speaker 1: the winning formula right there. I think it is pretty
- 4:13Speaker 1: sure we're undefeated when that happened.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Yeah, we never lost that way, never lost that kind
- 4:17Speaker 4: of Terrek Scoogle understands that.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't know.
- 4:21Speaker 4: I don't know if you're in town yet, but you've
- 4:23Speaker 4: never beaten us. They'll probably haven't beat us all year.
- 4:25Speaker 1: But they probably keep that information from him while he's
- 4:28Speaker 1: norm enough throw off.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, wait a second, is that Griffy fuck Chuck?
- 4:36Speaker 4: Ashley Homer is a great and five Iron are here too.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Nobody told me I had to go and I don't
- 4:43Speaker 1: want the ball. Coate all right, Trek Scooble is certainly
- 4:48Speaker 1: getting the ball for Detroit. That was kind of up
- 4:51Speaker 1: in the air as to who was going to end
- 4:52Speaker 1: up starting this game for the Seattle Mariners. George Kirby
- 4:56Speaker 1: started game number one, so it seems kind of logical
- 4:59Speaker 1: that he would be elated to start game number five.
- 5:02Speaker 1: But then again, Luis Castillo has beaten Scooball head to
- 5:05Speaker 1: head three different times this year, so on just as
- 5:10Speaker 1: much rust as what Scooball would have since they both
- 5:13Speaker 1: pitched Game number two, would you bring back Luis Castillo
- 5:18Speaker 1: to start this game and have Kirby come out of
- 5:21Speaker 1: the bullpen. Well, when it comes to feats of strength,
- 5:25Speaker 1: the Mariners have made their decision. Who's gonna strength about George? Yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 1: it's gonna be George. George Kirby is getting the start tonight.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And I realize all the arguments I have won for
- 5:38Speaker 1: Luis Castillo myself, But as we mentioned a little bit
- 5:42Speaker 1: earlier in the show, truth of the matter is that
- 5:45Speaker 1: this organization feels that George Kirby is as talented, if
- 5:49Speaker 1: not the most talented pitcher in their organization. And I
- 5:53Speaker 1: don't think Bucky, I don't think they start him in
- 5:55Speaker 1: game number one if they're not planning on starting him
- 5:58Speaker 1: in game number five, and I don't I think they're
- 6:00Speaker 1: starting them in game number one because they're going to
- 6:02Speaker 1: save their true rotation for the Alcs. And so I'm
- 6:08Speaker 1: just gonna read into this that, whether we agree with
- 6:11Speaker 1: it or not, whether you listening in your car or
- 6:14Speaker 1: at home or in your office, agree with this or not,
- 6:17Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners believe that George Kirby gives them the
- 6:21Speaker 1: best chance to go pitch for pitch against Tarrek Schouble
- 6:24Speaker 1: in a fifth and decisive game.
- 6:26Speaker 4: They just believe in his stuff that much, and understandably so.
- 6:29Speaker 4: I mean, like I said earlier, the back in twenty
- 6:32Speaker 4: twenty two is rookie year. He ended up going seven innings,
- 6:35Speaker 4: two hits, no runs allowed.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I mean not.
- 6:38Speaker 4: The thing is is Luis Castillo could do that as well.
- 6:41Speaker 4: This is another one of those It's tough because you
- 6:45Speaker 4: have so many, so many good options. The Tigers don't
- 6:48Speaker 4: have an They were without it out throwing trek school,
- 6:52Speaker 4: no ifens or butts. Now, maybe none of our guys
- 6:55Speaker 4: have have risen to that level. I don't think that well,
- 6:58Speaker 4: they haven't none of our guys have risen to that.
- 7:01Speaker 4: But the fact that you have two guys for sure
- 7:03Speaker 4: that are rested enough that you could go, and so
- 7:06Speaker 4: there's a conversation to be had about it, and you
- 7:09Speaker 4: wind up going with Logan or with George Kirby. I
- 7:12Speaker 4: feel pretty good about it. I mean, I think that
- 7:14Speaker 4: the dude has everything that it takes between the ears.
- 7:17Speaker 4: If he gets off to a good start to absolutely
- 7:18Speaker 4: mow this lineup.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Down, how long will Kirby pitch? I think that's entirely
- 7:23Speaker 1: up to George. I mean, he's not going to be
- 7:26Speaker 1: allowed to work through a lot. He's pretty much if
- 7:31Speaker 1: he wants to stay in the game, he's got to
- 7:33Speaker 1: be dominant early and dominant throughout. Guess that's going to
- 7:38Speaker 1: be the expectation. There's there are too many options. I mean,
- 7:42Speaker 1: you could even the idea of George Kirby just facing
- 7:45Speaker 1: the lineup one time. I mean, every single one of
- 7:48Speaker 1: our starters so far in this series has thrown four
- 7:50Speaker 1: shutout innings to start the game, every single one of them,
- 7:53Speaker 1: including George back in game number one. So if you believe,
- 7:58Speaker 1: maybe you believe that hey, first time through the lineup,
- 8:01Speaker 1: you're gonna see George Kirby. Second time through the lineup,
- 8:04Speaker 1: you're gonna see Luis Castile, and then you're gonna face
- 8:07Speaker 1: Andres Munio's for six outs at the end of the game.
- 8:10Speaker 1: That's not a lot of time in between that you
- 8:12Speaker 1: have to fill in the cracks. I don't know if
- 8:14Speaker 1: they'll take that approach, but I do believe what Bucky
- 8:18Speaker 1: said earlier. There will be an element of gut and
- 8:20Speaker 1: if George Kirby's going out and mowing down fools, then
- 8:23Speaker 1: they'll just ride that as long as they possibly can.
- 8:26Speaker 1: And he certainly has that potential. Yeah. Well, I mean
- 8:29Speaker 1: he did had the four.
- 8:32Speaker 4: Shutout innings against Tigers before and then really made not
- 8:35Speaker 4: a bad pitch that Kerry Carpenter took a better swing
- 8:38Speaker 4: on that put him up to zip. Now you came
- 8:40Speaker 4: back and tied it up and then ended up losing
- 8:43Speaker 4: that ballgame in extra innings. But I mean, he was
- 8:46Speaker 4: right there. I think that's part of what plays into
- 8:49Speaker 4: the decision. Did he look shaky last time and Luis
- 8:53Speaker 4: Castile looked lights out? No, he looked dominant last time,
- 8:56Speaker 4: and it had another big league guy who kind of
- 8:59Speaker 4: has our number and has his season Anyways, he took.
- 9:03Speaker 1: A good swing on him.
- 9:04Speaker 4: I think maybe he's a little bit more careful with
- 9:06Speaker 4: that guy, maybe, you know, making sure he's making pitches
- 9:09Speaker 4: in off the plate and not just middle of the plate,
- 9:12Speaker 4: but above the top rail. Go out there and make
- 9:14Speaker 4: a couple of adjustments. I think that this is the
- 9:16Speaker 4: guy that's probably more capable of doing that than any
- 9:18Speaker 4: other pitcher on the staff.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Well, it's George Kirby versus Trek Schoolball to start the game.
- 9:24Speaker 1: First pitch out of George's hand will be at five eight,
- 9:28Speaker 1: So it is on. Let's effing go. Let's might as
- 9:32Speaker 1: well win the whole fing thing, all right. Item number
- 9:37Speaker 1: three Major League Baseball Playoffs. Last night, the Dodgers advanced
- 9:41Speaker 1: to the NLCS, and for Philly fans, in the most
- 9:45Speaker 1: painful way possible, now balls in a strike, Yes, breaks,
- 9:50Speaker 1: it's Pat kirk kring gotta find it.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Turns to the plate, Oh my goodness, it turns it away,
- 9:56Speaker 5: and the Dodgers of run, the Dodgers gwinn and they
- 10:04Speaker 5: all move it on to the NLCS in the most
- 10:09Speaker 5: improbable finished pandemonium at Dodger Stadium, and your.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Heart breaks for Ryan Kirkering TBS. They are all on
- 10:20Speaker 1: the call last night. So situation is you're tied bottom
- 10:24Speaker 1: of the eleventh wasn't it. I didn't write that down
- 10:26Speaker 1: bottom of the eleventh inning? All right, you'd already used
- 10:29Speaker 1: Joe on Duran, your best reliever, and so now both
- 10:33Speaker 1: teams are deeper into their bullpen. But Kirkering is one
- 10:36Speaker 1: of their better guys. But he's also a younger guy.
- 10:39Speaker 1: He got bases loaded already at an intense moment. You
- 10:43Speaker 1: get a ground ball hit back to you, no problem
- 10:46Speaker 1: at all, except for the fact that you bobble it.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Still no problem at all. You can see JT. Real Muto,
- 10:52Speaker 1: the Phillies catcher, casually pointing to first and certainly yelling
- 10:57Speaker 1: it out to Kirkering to throw it to first, and
- 11:01Speaker 1: in his panic of bobbling the baseball, he scurries for it,
- 11:05Speaker 1: grabs it, and decides to then throw home and through
- 11:08Speaker 1: it wildly all the way to the backstop. And that's
- 11:11Speaker 1: how you lose the game. That's how the Philly season,
- 11:15Speaker 1: and they certainly had World Series aspirations, came to a
- 11:18Speaker 1: crashing halt.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we heard about we were watching that
- 11:21Speaker 4: game on the flight back.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And then sure enough. Right when they go.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Into extrames, it's time to get off the plane, and
- 11:27Speaker 4: I'm happy by getting off.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Really speedy process. By the way, nice job humans, You
- 11:31Speaker 1: really do a good job at this. Yeah, really really,
- 11:34Speaker 1: really efficient. That's the when people at the backs stand
- 11:37Speaker 1: up at first, it's like you're not going anywhere. Just
- 11:39Speaker 1: sit in your seat till it's your turn.
- 11:40Speaker 4: I didn't stand up quickly, but I end up standing
- 11:43Speaker 4: up before it's my turn to walk because I've been
- 11:45Speaker 4: sitting for a long time. But it was We didn't
- 11:49Speaker 4: get to see the end of it, so it ends
- 11:51Speaker 4: up being something that we find out about basically in
- 11:53Speaker 4: our travels back to Master Park and getting all that
- 11:57Speaker 4: stuff figured out when I ended up watching it when
- 12:00Speaker 4: I got home.
- 12:01Speaker 1: My I mean, I bust.
- 12:03Speaker 4: Pitchers balls all the time and like to call them
- 12:05Speaker 4: non athletes and whatnot.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Yesterday was a prime example of that. By the way.
- 12:09Speaker 4: The first run that put Philly on the board and
- 12:12Speaker 4: gave the lead was from a pitcher not catching a
- 12:15Speaker 4: ball that goes in and ends up coming around to
- 12:17Speaker 4: score later on the way they tied it up was
- 12:21Speaker 4: a walk with the bases loaded by Johan Duran and
- 12:24Speaker 4: then they end up losing the game. Basically with that,
- 12:27Speaker 4: it was just one of those got rattled because he
- 12:30Speaker 4: clanked the little broken bat chopper back to him and thought, oh,
- 12:34Speaker 4: maybe it'll be quicker to throw home and just makes
- 12:36Speaker 4: a bad throw instead of throwing it at the first base.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I feel horrible for that game. Right now, Dodgers advance
- 12:42Speaker 1: to the NLCS again. They await the winner of Milwaukee
- 12:45Speaker 1: and Chicago, who are now tied at two as the
- 12:48Speaker 1: Cubs won both of their games at home. Game five
- 12:50Speaker 1: will be Saturday night, five o'clock and they will play
- 12:54Speaker 1: that in Wisconsin. We've got other things other than baseball
- 12:57Speaker 1: to get to a huge event last night, and that
- 13:00Speaker 1: is that the Kraken played their season opener out at
- 13:03Speaker 1: Climate Pledge Arena, blue carpet our group out there from
- 13:07Speaker 1: ten am all the way to postgame last night. And
- 13:11Speaker 1: the good news is we got to celebrate a victory
- 13:14Speaker 1: and Vince Done scores the first goal of the year.
- 13:17Speaker 4: Schwartz ticks the feed, brings it over the right Wick
- 13:19Speaker 4: side at Lanier Circle, sends it up top.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Adam Larson now for Todd shot sto pits.
- 13:32Speaker 5: Don kicks off season five with this first goal of
- 13:36Speaker 5: the season seventeen thirty nine to play in the first
- 13:40Speaker 5: one nothing.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Seattle alright, ever it fits you on it last night,
- 13:44Speaker 1: very first game, very first goal scorer call of the season,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and he sounded wonderful. It was like butter, Yeah, like putter.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So Vin's done. Hey stick around this year, Vince, maybe
- 13:56Speaker 1: play the whole season? Yes?
- 13:57Speaker 3: Please?
- 13:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Mason Marchman score the game winning goals. It turns out
- 14:02Speaker 1: in his first game as a member of the Crack
- 14:04Speaker 1: and head coach Lane Lambert wins his first game on
- 14:07Speaker 1: the bench. But Joey to coord was the star of
- 14:10Speaker 1: the game. He shines thirty five saves and thirty six tries.
- 14:13Speaker 1: He had Ian Furness and Mike Benton just gushing about
- 14:16Speaker 1: his performance last night. The team will host the Golden
- 14:19Speaker 1: Knights in their second game of the year Climate Pledge
- 14:22Speaker 1: tomorrow at seven pm. Congratulations Kracking. I wish we had
- 14:26Speaker 1: a little more time to talk about it, but the
- 14:28Speaker 1: OCHO must roll on it AM number five Tonight the
- 14:31Speaker 1: Huskies are in action. That's right, it is game day
- 14:34Speaker 1: for the Washington Huskies. They will be hosting the Scarlet
- 14:37Speaker 1: Knights of Rutgers. This is a team that traditionally just
- 14:41Speaker 1: loves to run the football, and even though they run
- 14:43Speaker 1: the ball more than they throw the ball, they aren't
- 14:46Speaker 1: having any success running the ball compared to how much
- 14:48Speaker 1: success they're having throwing the football. I asked Cam Cleland
- 14:52Speaker 1: about that on Wednesday.
- 14:54Speaker 7: I don't know when I see Rutgers, They're not going
- 14:57Speaker 7: to change who they are, no doubt they're going to
- 14:59Speaker 7: change it. You're going to make a team one dimensional.
- 15:02Speaker 7: Then you have to adjust and be more physical upfront
- 15:06Speaker 7: with the defense.
- 15:07Speaker 1: And Jay Mono was awesome.
- 15:08Speaker 7: I mean, here's a kid that talking about stepping in
- 15:11Speaker 7: for Buddha out and you're not upgrading, but it is
- 15:15Speaker 7: dam impressive at linebacker. And if you get to Carrio
- 15:18Speaker 7: back then okay. Alex McLoughlin is the number one safety
- 15:23Speaker 7: and Pro Football Focus grading out wise and tackle ability
- 15:26Speaker 7: in space. That is that young kid big getting shout out.
- 15:30Speaker 1: To long hair Ginger. He's the dude.
- 15:33Speaker 7: And so your defense is getting better and your d
- 15:35Speaker 7: line is getting better. That to me is I'm noticing
- 15:38Speaker 7: a big difference with how well coach Walter is getting
- 15:41Speaker 7: this defense to really fit and control Nolling in the
- 15:44Speaker 7: run game. But being a little more aggressive with their
- 15:46Speaker 7: blitz package.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Too, Cam Cleveland. He'll be on the call with Tony
- 15:50Speaker 1: castra Cone starting at six o'clock tonight at home right
- 15:53Speaker 1: here at your flagship sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
- 15:57Speaker 1: which mains Softy on the Hanks, will start at two o'clock.
- 16:00Speaker 1: You'd I'm gonna try and accommodate interest in the Mariners
- 16:04Speaker 1: game for as long as they can tonight, but there
- 16:06Speaker 1: is only so much that they can do with that.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Just going to be a wild, wild, memorable night in
- 16:12Speaker 1: Seattle sports, there's no question about it. And if you
- 16:15Speaker 1: see Softy, be kind to him. He's really torn apart
- 16:18Speaker 1: by not being able to be in two places at once.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Maybe if we didn't care on the party, good we should,
- 16:24Speaker 1: he'd be okay with it. For this situation, he was
- 16:26Speaker 1: willing to take a crossbro bow to the butt. Yeah,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and so he'd really like to be split into right
- 16:33Speaker 1: now so he could be in both places at once.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Kug's will be in action at ol Miss oh Man,
- 16:38Speaker 1: you signed up for a rough one there. Kug's first
- 16:41Speaker 1: kickoff will take place. I'm almost called it first pitch
- 16:44Speaker 1: at nine forty five tomorrow morning. John Mattier, former Kok quarterback,
- 16:48Speaker 1: is probable for the Red River rivalry against Texas at
- 16:52Speaker 1: twelve thirty tomorrow, and then in the Big Ten some
- 16:55Speaker 1: huge games including number one Ohio State at number seventeen,
- 16:59Speaker 1: Illinois be intimidating to play, and that's in that hall
- 17:03Speaker 1: with all of its history, and then yeah, Indiana at
- 17:06Speaker 1: number seven taking on the Oregon Ducks. Number three, item
- 17:10Speaker 1: number six. Seahawks will be in Jacksonville, Florida to take
- 17:13Speaker 1: on the Jaguars. Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, was on
- 17:17Speaker 1: with US an hour ago talking about whether or not
- 17:21Speaker 1: the Seahawks can get a pass rush against Trevor Lawrence,
- 17:24Speaker 1: who's only been sacked six times this year.
- 17:27Speaker 6: Lawrence gets them all out really quickly. I mean everyone
- 17:29Speaker 6: in the league does now, but Lawrence in particular. They
- 17:31Speaker 6: throw a lot of short routes. William Cohen has him
- 17:33Speaker 6: running a lot of quick stuff, so that's when tackling
- 17:36Speaker 6: comes in. So they may not have big sack numbers
- 17:39Speaker 6: on Sunday, but they could still affect a quarterback more
- 17:41Speaker 6: than they did Baker Mayfield. Lawrence not quite as elusive
- 17:44Speaker 6: and a decisive a runner as Mayfield is, so tackle
- 17:49Speaker 6: when they throw a three yard pass, make it a
- 17:51Speaker 6: three yard game instead of a ten yard game. Did
- 17:53Speaker 6: too many ten yard twelve yard games out of two
- 17:56Speaker 6: and three yard passes against Tampa Bay. That's the focus
- 17:59Speaker 6: for them. I would expect to steady that at TN
- 18:02Speaker 6: on Sunday. Tackling it's fundamental. It's key for three yard games.
- 18:08Speaker 6: To say, three yard games on Soday. I think that's
- 18:09Speaker 6: the key to the game.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Tackling a key to football. As it turns out, Yeah,
- 18:14Speaker 1: it's helpful. Is that cliche? The Hawks are three and
- 18:18Speaker 1: two on the season, so there's a chance. I mean,
- 18:21Speaker 1: and I think we all feel that they're better than
- 18:23Speaker 1: a five hundred team. I don't know there are many
- 18:25Speaker 1: Seahawks fans out there. I think this is an average
- 18:28Speaker 1: football team. But if we lose to a four and
- 18:30Speaker 1: one Jaguars team on the road for an early start,
- 18:35Speaker 1: the Seahawks are flying home three and three. It just
- 18:37Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're a five hundred football team. But
- 18:40Speaker 1: they're going to have to win in order to avoid that.
- 18:42Speaker 1: After the sixth game mark of the season, the Seahawks
- 18:46Speaker 1: have moved from underdog to favorite by the way in Vegas. Meanwhile,
- 18:50Speaker 1: there's other action, of course, On Sunday six thirty am
- 18:54Speaker 1: kickoff from London, the Denver Broncos taking on the New
- 18:58Speaker 1: York Jets. You got the ram and the Baltimore Ravens.
- 19:01Speaker 1: That would have been a great matchup on paper at
- 19:04Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, but the Ravens can't win,
- 19:06Speaker 1: so they might be trying to save their season against
- 19:09Speaker 1: a really good football team. Afternoons, Santan Francisco at Tampa
- 19:12Speaker 1: Bay's the game to watch, and then the Sunday night
- 19:14Speaker 1: game will be Detroit at Kansas City. The week in
- 19:17Speaker 1: the NFL got started last night with the Giants absolutely
- 19:21Speaker 1: stunning the world champion Philadelphia Eagles thirty four to seventeen
- 19:25Speaker 1: behind rookies Jackson Dart and Cam Scataboo. I think I
- 19:47Speaker 1: think we need this Canabou shit Scot boom, Scout up boom,
- 19:53Speaker 1: Scout up boom, ripping off his shirt with Ryan Fitzpatrick
- 19:57Speaker 1: and the postgame show there on Amazon Prime. But Scataboo
- 20:02Speaker 1: not hard to believe. He's already become a fan favorite
- 20:04Speaker 1: with the Giants. Everybody loves him and I did like
- 20:07Speaker 1: though Ryan Fitzpatrick gently unbuttoning his shirt. He didn't want
- 20:10Speaker 1: to ruin his Skatabu is like I will rip this
- 20:12Speaker 1: in pieces. WNBA Finals, by the way, could wrap up
- 20:17Speaker 1: tonight Game four of five o'clock. The Aces, by the
- 20:20Speaker 1: end of this evening could be world champs once again.
- 20:23Speaker 1: They are up three to zero on the Mercury. All right,
- 20:25Speaker 1: coming up next more on game five tonight between the
- 20:29Speaker 1: Tigers and the Mariners. It's Chuck and Bock Sports Radio
- 20:32Speaker 1: ninety three point three KHARFM, and we're gonna talk plenty
- 20:35Speaker 1: of football coming up with Hugh Millen and Coach Homer
- 20:38Speaker 1: and they will be with us in our nine o'clock hour.
- 20:40Speaker 1: We also got a little bit of college football to
- 20:42Speaker 1: talk about today. It's been almost an entire baseball show,
- 20:45Speaker 1: but this might be the last big segment that we have,
- 20:47Speaker 1: so let's go through it. Let's just go right through it.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Pitching game plan for tonight, We've already discussed it a
- 20:53Speaker 1: couple of times. Maybe there's a wrinkle that we haven't discussed.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But I think that you and I are both on
- 20:59Speaker 1: in the same step that George eats as long as
- 21:04Speaker 1: he's devouring uh and yet it's a quick pull. I
- 21:08Speaker 1: don't think anybody's gonna be there's no way with Luis
- 21:11Speaker 1: Castillo there in the wings and your entire bullpen at
- 21:13Speaker 1: your fingertips, and Munjo's fully rested and can go you know,
- 21:17Speaker 1: six outs if you need him to. Maybe even beyond
- 21:20Speaker 1: that that you're gonna let any kind of scuffle or
- 21:23Speaker 1: open yourself up to carry Carpenter against George Kirby with
- 21:26Speaker 1: guys on base again, I don't think that's going to happen.
- 21:30Speaker 1: So as long as he's devouring, you just keep letting
- 21:33Speaker 1: him eat. But I do believe the game plan will
- 21:36Speaker 1: be that no one gets to struggle, no one gets
- 21:39Speaker 1: to put guys on base. We can't risk anybody giving
- 21:42Speaker 1: up a three run homer tonight.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's how you get him on I
- 21:46Speaker 4: suppose it would matter a little bit to me, right,
- 21:49Speaker 4: I mean, you get some swinging bunt and a jam
- 21:52Speaker 4: shot the bloops over the over first base. I don't
- 21:54Speaker 4: know for sure if I'm yanking him just because it's like, well,
- 21:58Speaker 4: because then you didn't you're not really hit. Now you
- 22:01Speaker 4: get you give up a couple of hard hit balls. Yeah,
- 22:03Speaker 4: you're you're making a change, don't. I don't want as
- 22:07Speaker 4: I trust you have to trust your bullpen, but I
- 22:11Speaker 4: don't trust them more than I trust the starting dudes
- 22:15Speaker 4: we have, and that so that was where there's a
- 22:17Speaker 4: feel part of it. I wouldn't have a game plan then,
- 22:19Speaker 4: I'm just dead set on it if it's if it
- 22:22Speaker 4: works out the way that it could work out for me.
- 22:24Speaker 4: I mean, if we can get George to just mow
- 22:26Speaker 4: down for four innings, if all of a sudden in
- 22:29Speaker 4: the fifth he gets in trouble, maybe you bring in
- 22:31Speaker 4: Aspire for a match up there to get out of
- 22:33Speaker 4: that inning Bang bang. Then you maybe go get a
- 22:36Speaker 4: couple of innings out of out of Luis Castillo if
- 22:40Speaker 4: you want to, unless you feel that you have better matchups,
- 22:43Speaker 4: which I don't know where that would be in the bullpen,
- 22:45Speaker 4: and then Brash and Munno's bang bang to finish the
- 22:48Speaker 4: whole thing. That would be like the optimum way for me.
- 22:50Speaker 4: I want to be able to trust George, and yet
- 22:53Speaker 4: it's going to be a short leash just simply because
- 22:55Speaker 4: of how crucial this game is.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that I use I'm planning to
- 23:00Speaker 1: use Munjos for a couple of innings. I'm planning to
- 23:03Speaker 1: use Brash for an inning tonight, and I'm planning to
- 23:05Speaker 1: use some sort of combination of Kirby and Castillo for
- 23:09Speaker 1: like five. And if it's just Kirby, then all five,
- 23:13Speaker 1: that's fine. But the moment that anybody is in trouble,
- 23:16Speaker 1: especially that Carpenter matchup, I'm using everybody else just to
- 23:19Speaker 1: fill in the cracks. I'm not committing to a game
- 23:22Speaker 1: spier for more than get me this left hand er
- 23:25Speaker 1: out and get out of the inning, and then I'm
- 23:27Speaker 1: taking you out and I'm starting with somebody else freshly
- 23:30Speaker 1: very next inning. All right, offensive game plan this we
- 23:33Speaker 1: didn't get to a little bit earlier.
- 23:34Speaker 3: Are you.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Just gonna rely on what we did in Game two
- 23:39Speaker 1: against school Ball? And that's just let everybody just try
- 23:42Speaker 1: to hit a solo home run here. That's how we're
- 23:45Speaker 1: going to score runs, because it's very hard to string
- 23:48Speaker 1: hits against this guy, and he doesn't walk a lot
- 23:50Speaker 1: of guys as well. Or do you try to play
- 23:53Speaker 1: a little small ball, maybe lay down a couple of months.
- 23:56Speaker 1: He's not a very good fielder. He doesn't hold runners
- 23:58Speaker 1: on very well. Do you try to steal some bases?
- 24:01Speaker 1: Do you try to create some havoc? Try to get
- 24:03Speaker 1: him off of his game by doing some things that
- 24:06Speaker 1: normally you don't do, but you are capable of doing
- 24:09Speaker 1: them the most. I mean I'd do a little bit
- 24:12Speaker 1: of both. I mean I would.
- 24:13Speaker 4: If I'm run under a rose arena, probably isn't gonna
- 24:16Speaker 4: do it. But if I'm JP, I might bring a
- 24:18Speaker 4: bunt with me right lefty, un lefty. Tough matchup. Now
- 24:21Speaker 4: he's gotten a knockoff and before it's not like he's
- 24:24Speaker 4: it's impossible. Your dudes that you flat out and rely
- 24:28Speaker 4: on for them to do damage, then they're gonna go
- 24:31Speaker 4: up there trying to do damage. If you have, If
- 24:33Speaker 4: your guy that has the capability of putting some pressure
- 24:36Speaker 4: on him fielding his position, do it. We've seen it.
- 24:39Speaker 4: It's not just that one that he not snapped. He
- 24:42Speaker 4: struggles a little bit coming off the mound and making
- 24:45Speaker 4: plays and so putting that extra seed in his mind
- 24:48Speaker 4: and then stealing. The lefties don't like when you are aggressive.
- 24:51Speaker 4: Now he doesn't have a bad move, but he doesn't move.
- 24:54Speaker 4: He doesn't come over there all that often. A lot
- 24:55Speaker 4: of lefties don't because they think I'm looking at you.
- 24:58Speaker 4: You won't go when I'm looking at you. They need
- 25:00Speaker 4: to go a little bit. They need to put some
- 25:02Speaker 4: pressure on them. I think that is part of our
- 25:04Speaker 4: game plan. When we're playing our best, we're making we're
- 25:07Speaker 4: making it difficult on them defensively, just basically with our aggressiveness.
- 25:11Speaker 1: So I want him to do that.
- 25:12Speaker 4: But ultimately, this team does live and die at times
- 25:15Speaker 4: by the long ball. And you know, the weather's kind
- 25:18Speaker 4: of rolling in. Maybe the ball ain't going to carry
- 25:20Speaker 4: quite as much. But we got enough guys that if
- 25:22Speaker 4: they arrive on time, he will supply the power. You
- 25:25Speaker 4: don't got to be big, you just got to be
- 25:27Speaker 4: on time.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's what I'm wondering. If they don't want
- 25:29Speaker 1: to run into any outs, they want to preserve as
- 25:31Speaker 1: many as they can for the long ball. I think
- 25:33Speaker 1: there's an expectation that is going to be a low
- 25:35Speaker 1: scoring game tonight. And the other thing, the most rattle
- 25:40Speaker 1: I've ever seen Trek Schoolble is when he hit a
- 25:42Speaker 1: guy in the face with a pitch. Maybe Luke Rayley,
- 25:47Speaker 1: Who's who are you going to have to be sacrificial lamb? Hey?
- 25:51Speaker 1: But go try to bunt one up there and wear
- 25:53Speaker 1: it in your face. I mean, if anyone could softy
- 25:58Speaker 1: and would do it. Yeah. I don't know if that's
- 26:01Speaker 1: worse than a bow of crossbow of the butt or not.
- 26:04Speaker 1: I think it's about the same. Finally, I just want
- 26:07Speaker 1: to mention this again. Defense, I think it's crucial tonight.
- 26:10Speaker 1: I think not not allowing extra outs to the Detroit
- 26:14Speaker 1: Tigers could be essential, and not just that. I think
- 26:16Speaker 1: taking some hits away. We got Rod Blaze, we got Rodriguez,
- 26:21Speaker 1: We've got some and we got col behind the plate
- 26:25Speaker 1: throwing people. I think defense could play a really big role.
- 26:28Speaker 1: We at least at the very minimum, have to be
- 26:30Speaker 1: clean tonight, and I think maybe there'll be a requirement
- 26:36Speaker 1: to be spectacular a time or two. You got to
- 26:38Speaker 1: keep this thing low scoring, and hard way of keeping
- 26:42Speaker 1: it low scoring is by giving a team an extra
- 26:45Speaker 1: out at any point during the course of the game.
- 26:47Speaker 1: So I think defense we've got to be stellar tonight. Yeah.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Well, I mean this time of year, every ever out matters,
- 26:54Speaker 4: and if you give a team an extra one just
- 26:56Speaker 4: because of how dialed in the hitters are and the
- 26:58Speaker 4: added pressure it puts on the pitch to have to
- 27:00Speaker 4: try to get a fourth or a fifth out in
- 27:02Speaker 4: an inning, and it hardly ever works out.
- 27:04Speaker 1: But in the postseason works out even harder. All right,
- 27:07Speaker 1: coming up next, What a huge night that we have
- 27:10Speaker 1: for year at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM,
- 27:13Speaker 1: And what a huge night that the Seattle sports fan
- 27:15Speaker 1: finds itself up against. I mean, it has been one
- 27:19Speaker 1: heck of a weekend, and so we will preview the night,
- 27:22Speaker 1: the entire night next. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 27:28Speaker 1: A team of scientists have been working around the clock
- 27:30Speaker 1: to try to figure out how to clone Dave Maler,
- 27:33Speaker 1: And I mean not with just like another Softy, you know,
- 27:37Speaker 1: baby softy, but like with one his exact age, with
- 27:42Speaker 1: his exact knowledge of what has happened to this point
- 27:45Speaker 1: in his life as a Seattle sports fan, so that
- 27:48Speaker 1: that clone can go to the Mariners game while he's
- 27:52Speaker 1: doing Huskies probably would lead to the end of the world.
- 27:55Speaker 6: Great.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I love how he told me. He said, I'm going
- 27:58Speaker 1: to find a quiet corner to watch the Mariners game.
- 28:01Speaker 1: And I'm like, no corner remains quiet once you've entered it,
- 28:06Speaker 1: not on like a normal moment, let alone that moment
- 28:10Speaker 1: quiet corner instantly becomes a loud corner, the loudest. Yeah.
- 28:15Speaker 1: When soft he enters it. I feel for him, though,
- 28:17Speaker 1: I feel for him. It's quite a night here in
- 28:20Speaker 1: Seattle sports, and it's gonna be tough on soft. He'll
- 28:24Speaker 1: be hosting the Hawks at two o'clock and then the
- 28:27Speaker 1: kickoff is at six. Meanwhile, our baseball game first pitches
- 28:30Speaker 1: at five o'clock, so we can split our interests, but
- 28:34Speaker 1: we can't be two places at once. And fortunately, but
- 28:38Speaker 1: the Hosky's in action tonight against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
- 28:41Speaker 1: There's a little bit of vengeful taste, I think on
- 28:45Speaker 1: the lips of Jetfish in this game. And he's also
- 28:48Speaker 1: facing a Rutgers team that has the same identity they've
- 28:50Speaker 1: always had. They are going to try to run the football.
- 28:53Speaker 1: They run the ball more than they throw the football,
- 28:55Speaker 1: but they haven't had near the success running the ball
- 28:58Speaker 1: as they've had throwing the football. So as Cam Cleveland
- 29:01Speaker 1: struggled with on Wednesday. That's the challenge tonight is we
- 29:06Speaker 1: obviously have to play to stop the run because that's
- 29:08Speaker 1: going to be how they beat us. And yet their
- 29:11Speaker 1: passing game is what's dangerous about Rutgers. How do you
- 29:14Speaker 1: defend that but.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Try to do both?
- 29:18Speaker 4: I guess right, I may I continue to make it
- 29:20Speaker 4: difficult for them to run the ball even though because
- 29:23Speaker 4: they they commit to it, and yet they basically strike
- 29:26Speaker 4: and score through the air. So I don't know exactly
- 29:29Speaker 4: how you do it, but I rely on those big
- 29:32Speaker 4: long dbs and then hopefully your defense is stout up front.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I still don't think we have an update. I
- 29:38Speaker 1: mean I have been flying back from Detroit on Tacario Davis.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Don't know if he's playing just yet. Last I heard
- 29:44Speaker 1: that it was still up in the air. But six
- 29:47Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff for the Dogs and the nights that will
- 29:51Speaker 1: get the evening started to get that. I should say.
- 29:54Speaker 1: The week started in the Big Ten. But what a
- 29:56Speaker 1: week in the Big Ten. Eight different matchups, all conference games,
- 30:01Speaker 1: so nobody is on by this week it'll be Ohio
- 30:05Speaker 1: State at Illinois as the nine am kickoff. That's one
- 30:08Speaker 1: versus seventeen in the country. UCLA the fighting Jerry Neuheisel's
- 30:12Speaker 1: trying to make it two in a row. There'll be
- 30:14Speaker 1: an East Lansing taking on SPARTI. Yeah, we just saw
- 30:17Speaker 1: we spend some time with some Spartans here the last
- 30:20Speaker 1: couple of days nine am kickoff there between Michigan State
- 30:24Speaker 1: and the Bruins. Then in the twelve to thirty kickoffs,
- 30:27Speaker 1: you'll have Northwestern at Penn State, you'll have Nebraska at Maryland,
- 30:31Speaker 1: and then the big game of the weekend is number
- 30:34Speaker 1: seven Indiana at number three Oregon. It's very funny about
- 30:37Speaker 1: these two teams because they're kind of known as finesse teams.
- 30:41Speaker 1: They are not finesse teams. Indiana and Oregon try to
- 30:45Speaker 1: beat you the hell up, and yes they've got some
- 30:48Speaker 1: weapons offensively, but these are teams that are strong in
- 30:52Speaker 1: the trenches. Illinois couldn't move the ball against Indiana, and
- 30:55Speaker 1: they've got a pretty good team. Meanwhile, Oregon is a
- 30:59Speaker 1: t that almost for three quarters anyway, was shutting down
- 31:04Speaker 1: Penn State entirely. These two teams are very physical. They're
- 31:08Speaker 1: about trench warfare, even though they're kind of known as
- 31:12Speaker 1: finesse programs.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm hoping and expecting that this is one
- 31:16Speaker 4: where the when it comes to muscle versus muscle that
- 31:20Speaker 4: I think the Ducks might just be a couple of
- 31:22Speaker 4: years ahead of that, because that's not an easy transition
- 31:25Speaker 4: to go from the you know, hurry up offense, high
- 31:28Speaker 4: flying thing that we watched the Ducks do when they
- 31:31Speaker 4: kind of came became a decent team and have been
- 31:35Speaker 4: talked about, and I think hopefully Indiana is still a
- 31:37Speaker 4: couple of years behind on getting that much sand in
- 31:39Speaker 4: their pants.
- 31:41Speaker 1: I hope Indiana beats them. Yeah, stupid, Yeah, Ashley, who
- 31:45Speaker 1: are you oping to wins Indiana?
- 31:47Speaker 4: Yea Indian beats them by I think that's shocky happy
- 31:50Speaker 4: that your guys' weekend will suck at that moment.
- 31:53Speaker 1: At that moment only, I'm not an Indiana fan at all.
- 31:55Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they grew up considering them
- 31:57Speaker 1: a rival. But I hope they went by fifty. Uh.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Iowa at Wisconsin is the four o'clock kickoff, Michigan at
- 32:04Speaker 1: USC for thirty, and then Minnesota hosting Purdue. No one
- 32:09Speaker 1: really cares that's at four thirty tonight or on Saturday
- 32:13Speaker 1: as well. So there you go. Let's wrap up the
- 32:16Speaker 1: segment and then head into our nine o'clock hour here
- 32:19Speaker 1: on a football and baseball Tito's Friday. By just quickly
- 32:23Speaker 1: going through our green jacket fantasy teams. Ashley's leading the
- 32:27Speaker 1: way right now with four eighty five Bucky past Kid
- 32:30Speaker 1: this past week. Kid's just like I'm not dropping anybody.
- 32:33Speaker 1: I love my roster. I don't care if they're all
- 32:35Speaker 1: on buy in one week. I don't give a damn.
- 32:37Speaker 1: I'm going to win it in the end. Bucky's got
- 32:40Speaker 1: four to thirty four. Kid has for twenty nine, and
- 32:42Speaker 1: even though I scored one hundred points this past week,
- 32:44Speaker 1: had by best week by far, I'm still one hundred
- 32:46Speaker 1: points back of third place. So I got a lot
- 32:50Speaker 1: of work to do. So we always do pickups. Kid
- 32:52Speaker 1: is passing again from the number one pickup position. Ashley,
- 32:56Speaker 1: you've got the next pickup position. I am going to
- 33:00Speaker 1: up Wayman Jordan okay, and drop Nick Marsh. I believe
- 33:03Speaker 1: it is who I had. All right, Yeck Marsh, the
- 33:06Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Michigan State. Buck, are you making
- 33:08Speaker 1: any move? I am not making a move this week.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I am not making a move either. So Ashley is
- 33:13Speaker 1: the only person with a move this week, as she
- 33:16Speaker 1: adds the trojan running back. All right, here we go
- 33:19Speaker 1: nine o'clock hour, x'es and o's with Hugh Miller next
- 33:22Speaker 1: on KJR.
