  Speaker 2: before we talk again on the National Basketball Association front.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: More on that in a moment, but I'm sure everybody

  Speaker 2: is wanting to know how the Emeralds turned out last
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, how did it go? Not bad?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: We started out hot? Why my voice sounds like that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, started out hot, yelling managerial.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it probably was what it was.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Started out hot, scored five, You get maxed out at
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: five runs, then you got to roll it over. So
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: five runs first inning, Then we scored a couple more
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: later on. We only get like four innings in because
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: it's like an hour and a half gig. But we
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: ended up kind of walking the house of the last inning,
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: so I think it ended up in a tie seven TI.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you can't accept that. Get back out there
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: on the field. Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Well, I would have liked to guys not settle ties
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: the way that we do in girls.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: How do you guys do it?
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Relay race?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Really they did when they were younger. Oh okay, don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: do it anymore because they didn't keep scoring, so there
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: was every game was technically a tie, so all they
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: cared about was who won the relay race at the
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: end of the game.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they do like doing relay races, but this was
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: the first time we didn't do one at the end
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: of the game. But we don't usually do it to
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: determine a tie. Just they just like they like doing it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: But I'm just saying, like if they won, they'd be like.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, we won the game, right regardless of no,
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: just because it was seven to two, and I'm pretty
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: sure we walked in five runs in the last inning
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: to make seven seven Pretty sure.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: But he hit the ball last night, Yeah, we did.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Didn't made any contact.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: We were smashing the first inning, Like I said, we
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: were pencil bat He he got killed the third basement.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, gosh, that's probably not gonna go over well
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: on the first day a Little league.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you better have your head on a swivel when
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Old Jax comes up. You can swing it. You got
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: some stuff we gotta work on. He likes to do
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: a leg kick before the pitchers even like started his
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: wind up, so he is standing on one leg in
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: the batter's box.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Oh balance Japanese of him. Yes, yeah, a lot of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Japanese players used to do that. Yeah, yeah, so a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: horrow oh.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: A little yoga.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What would you do if you found out Jacks
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: was studying Sada horrow Oh tape in his basement every
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: day before school?
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: If I when I say, hey, we're gonna probably have
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: to cut down on the leg kick a little bit.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: If he's like pretty sure.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Side of harrow oh, didn't have to cut down on it,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: I'll be all right, Well, never mind, don't listen to
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: me if you're if you're being tutelage by someone that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Knows that, yeah, go ahead and go with that. Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: probably for him. Oh, I think think used the pencil
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: bet if I remember correctly, Yeah, yeah, it looked just
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: like a number two. Yeah, the babe ruth of the Japanese.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows that. Yeah yeah, pencil bat Yeah, known for
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it very well. I think it was a number two. Yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: but I got tie so so yes. So you're getting
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: ready for your first game. It's eight year olds, the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: first time you've ever done the live pitch, and you
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: got one practice in because of the rain yep, I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: surprised it wasn't just a big unmitigated disaster.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought it was going to be. Yeah, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: thought it was going to be. But we actually looked
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: pretty decent. I mean, they didn't put a lot of
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: balls in play. Basically all their runs came from walks, okay,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: and then we hit and yet we are more aggressive.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: So had we done had I told the kids down
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: at the bottom of the order, hey, just don't swing,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: they would have walked. And oh but I'm not that guy.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Go hit, see if you can swing it. I have
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: one that likes to like basically run out of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: batter's box and then still swing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Is he scared of getting hit? So we're gonna have
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to make an adjustment on that for sure.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe you could be the mascot.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you throw out my sasquatch idea?
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: No, but that'll be next practice. Actually we got a
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: game on Wednesday, no practice between.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And keep it in your back pocket. I mean, give
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it a few games. Try to figure out which kid
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: really isn't gonna cut the mustard even at age eight.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Throw out the mascot idea. Maybe you solve two problems.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I think number one, you give something to the fans, righted, yes,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and number two you get rid of a liability on
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the roster. Really good idea, so really good.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: And to be honest, one kid did start on the
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: bench and then I heard him behind me like, I
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: actually don't mind it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: The other kid was like, I'm not.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: I don't have a place to play, and then the
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: other guy goes, no, but you get to sit here
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: and watch the game.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: It's wonderful.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Oh that's so cute.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It's very like Ogilvy from Bad News Bearers.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: All right, good for you, but it warmed my heart.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: I know it's not what you want to hear, but
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: it warmed my teach.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Him how to keep score? Is your scoreboard, he's your scorekeeper.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It's a great idea.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have to ask a parent like I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the scorekeeper, so I have to keep score for every
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: single game we play.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah I did.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I have to ask parents that yesterday if they wanted
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: to keep scoring game change and none of them were
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: real excited about it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I have to do the book. We have a parent
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: that does game changer, and I've gotten talked into that
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: a couple of times. But I do the book. I
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: used to find it not great and I find it relaxing.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You're Barbed Coons. Yeah, Barb Coons kept score every every day,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: every game entire life. Really, Barb Coonts. She didn't even
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: need to. She wasn't even the official score. She just
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: did it. Okay, she was, she was a mom. She
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: just did it for her own purposes. I don't know
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: if she was in a Brighton Corey league, fantasy league,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't know if she had
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: spreadsheets at home. I don't know how deep she took
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: her stats, but she kept score of every one of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: her She had two sons, both very good players, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: kept score of all their games their entire life.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: I would like it to be and I did get
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: asked to do it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I do not just yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She was very pushy too.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: No, because if I wasn't doing that, I would just
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: have beverages.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't think there were any beverages.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Barb was pretty straight laced. But yeah, I will say
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: this before we move on just quickly. I do remember,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: like when I was a little kid, it was always
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you ran the bases. Afterwards you're let on the field,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and it really did feel like you were like in
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the big leagues for some reason, even though I'm from
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a podunk town and we had grappy fields, but it
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: felt like a big thing. But I remember, because I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: was a pretty I grew pretty fast and people kind
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of thought I was going to be special. Boy were
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: they wrong. So I was pretty fast for like a
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: seven year old, Like people were wondering, like, what on
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: earth we have Usain Bolton town. But I would race
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: this heavy set like fifteen year old pretty much every
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: game after afterwards and whip him. And I just now,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: just at this very moment, while you were discussing relay races,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I wonder if that hurt his.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Feelings getting whooped by somebody half his age.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well not just that, because I didn't know any better.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I just was racing.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I get to do something.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: You're just running at the top speed. But that's fun.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But like the adults would like would make fun
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of Darren.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, that would hurt his feelings?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Whooped again? And now I am I why that seems
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a little cruel to put Darren on blast like that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was fifteen, he was probably twelve.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That's even worse.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: It was the adults that hurt his feelings, not you
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: run him just no.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think I did anything, but I was part
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: of it. Certainly he didn't.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, adults, they should be responsible for their actions.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Kids. It's good for him, toughing him up, let him know. Hey, Darren,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: you're not going to be fast.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know you're getting whooped by a really
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: fast seven year old, but he's seven.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Nonetheless, Yeah, hey, Toppy, let's do it again.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Light them up, you know stuff like that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Well, i'm tired. Oh you need to run some more.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, put down a sandwich and see if you can
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: get your ass whoop by that seven year old again. Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe be faster if you weren't trying to do fun
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: dip while you're in that would help. Yeah. All right, Well, anyway,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: welcome into the radio program. Good to have you with
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: us here on this Tuesday morning, and we've got potentially
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: history going to be made before the end of the day.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: We shall see. But boy, there's a lot of buzz.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of buzz around this office, a lot
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: of buzz around town about what's going to go down
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: at the NBA Governor's Board of Governor's meeting here today.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we'll learn anything today. It might
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: not be until tomorrow. They did designate, apparently the twenty
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: fourth and twenty fifth. I don't know if that's just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: so the owners can get together and on the first
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: night just let their hair down, you know, does that
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a grand old time kick back?
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, probably they just yeah, break out and break
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: out the beverages.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do something cool, I bet. Yeah, tomorrow, I'll
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: do it now. Yeah, tomorrow, will get down to it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: But when else do I get together with twenty nine
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of my richest friends. Yeah, yeah, so let's just sit
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: around and you know, play ouiji board and spin the bottle,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you know, things of that nature, and then tomorrow we'll
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: get down to business. So I don't know. I mean
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: they're convening today, I don't know how many, meaning I
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: don't Maybe it's such a foregone conclusion. I think it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: a foregone conclusion. Maybe it's such that they're like, well,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: let's get this out of the way. I mean, we're
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we're only here because Adam knows how the votes turned out.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's already taken the vote, and his oblong
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: looking ahead and so if we're here, why don't we
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: get that done and then you know, we can do
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: dance dance revolution for the rest of the evening, right,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know wine coolers, right, because I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: would imagine that's how they party. Yeah, wine coolers and twister.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I think Bartles and James possibly, yeah, yeah, yeah, Bartles
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and James was great. Yeah. So I so maybe maybe
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it's I don't I don't know how this is going
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: to unfold, but I guess there's a chance by the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: end of the day that the Seattle SuperSonics will pass
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the first test and the expansion process. And uh, certainly
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the expectation is I mean, I'm telling you insiders are
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: treating this like a foregone conclusion. So I don't know
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: what kind of information that they have. Adam Silver certainly
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is not painting it that way and his description of
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: what's going to go down here at this sub Board
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: of Governor's meeting, but pretty much everybody that is paid
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to be in the know is treating this like it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: just you know, it's a formality. Uh, and that then well,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: they'll start the process of trying to find the ownership
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: group that they approve of that can afford the high cost. Uh,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and then we'll go from there. But today sort of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: feels like Adam Silver has already gotten his head count.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: The Board of Governor meet, Governor's Meet, everybody cast their vote,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and I think that by tomorrow we're going to know
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: that we're in the game. Uh. And yet nothing can
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: be made official till July. Yeah.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: I mean with the information also about Sam Holloway kind
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: of buying a bigger like the majority share in that
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: whole thing and then announcing the launch of that one
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: roof sports and Entertainment group seems like a step for
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: the next step of this situation with the NBA. So
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know for sure if smart folks
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: like her and light Wiki and the rest of the
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: folks in that OAT group that I don't think that
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: they're probably going out and announcing something like this without
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: thinking that it's going to be needed in the next,
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: very next step. And so I'm with you, what we
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: basically learned yesterday did nothing but kind of put me
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: for they're down the path of this step, I think,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: is one that is already basically kind of taken care of.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: We don't know, and I'm not going to probably, you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: you know, not got to count my chickens before they hatch.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: But it does feel like they're getting ready to hatch.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: I feel like that's a good way to put it,
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: not counting your chickens before they're hatched. It's definitely. Yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: this is a this is a very important first step.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: So I'm intrigued to see what happens.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And look, Lywicki's been talking to us about this, I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: mean openly, and I don't know, I don't even know
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: if he was supposed to, but he said it on
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: our airwaves. Wasn't off the airwaves when we've done a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: cracking season opener outside the plaza three three four years
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: three years ago, yeah, a three years ago. Yeah. And
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I pose the because I think so much of Climate
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Pledge Arena as a facility that I said, you need
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to just house the board of governors. Just let him
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: spend the night here, just all the owners and Adam Silver,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: let them spend the night. Have actually keep all the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: restaurants open, you know, roll out cots on the ice,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and just let them spend the night here. And by
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: morning they'll be so impressed with the facility that they'll
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: they'll vote yes on everything, and he looked at me
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and he goes, I don't need to do that pretty much. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: that's what he said on the air. I don't need
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: So I how and how involved these how much he knows,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: how entrenched he is. I mean, I'm sure that the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: NBA loves the idea of a toddlight wiki group of
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: investors that can come up with, you know, five to
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: ten billion dollars wherever it lands. I'm sure he likes
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the idea of that. The people that built the arena,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the people that you know, launched the Krakens so successfully,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that they kind of like that idea. Now,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the second stage in this process is trying to find
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the right ownership group. There are going to be people,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I'm certain of it, that have ridiculous amounts of money.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I mean a Bezos, an Elon Musk. I mean, who
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: knows is going to be able to say I'll take them,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And I don't need an ownership group. I just want them.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I need a new toy, right, I'm bored with all
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of my spaceships, you know, so I could use a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: new toy. And I mean, somebody has the power to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: do that. Now, that doesn't mean an NBA. The NBA
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: wants that, you know. Sometimes the NBA is like, I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: don't need somebody with that much money, you know. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: mean our owners They've got a lot of them small penises.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that they can handle having some you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: big monster in the room with them. So they might
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: not want that. They might not want somebody with that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: kind of financial muscle coming into their league that can
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: create these odd advantages that they won't have, you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: facilities that might leave earth and go land on Uranus,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: you know, stuff like that. I mean, they might not
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: want that into the league. I'm sure Adam Silver wants
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Todd light WICKI involved group that can come up with
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the necessary money. But that's the next stage in the process.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: If we get the vote, and a lot of people
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: are assuming that we are here in the next twenty
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: four to forty eight thirty six hours, that the next
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: process is trying to find the right ownership group that
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: will pay the freight. And so that's what I'm talking about.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we're going to find an owner
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: one way or the other. But I guarantee you Adam
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Silver has a preference the type of owner slash ownership
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: group that he prefers taking over. Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Well, and I think again that goes into the thing
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: that we found out yesterday about Sam Halloway and buying
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: the majority stake in that and coming up with that
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: one roof Sports Entertainment group, which basically is still I
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: think there's a lot of people that carry over from
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: the Oakview group, which is a majority of the minority
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: ownership group. But those folks own the building, they own
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: the arena that so now it's the it's the They
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: basically have all of those bases covered that I think
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: the NBA is going to be like, okay, so you know,
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: first and foremost, you have a place to play, right. Well, yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: now we have this group which is going to be
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: a group that's going to throw their hat in the
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: ring if we do get the first vote to where
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: it gets to the second vote about the money aspect
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: of the whole thing. Now, all of a sudden, you
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: have basically a group that has all of the boxes
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: checked that the NBA is gonna be like, okay, so
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: you have control of an arena, We're not gonna have
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: to worry about you. You know, figuring out some sort
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: of other thing to make sure all the is or
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: dotted and teaser crossed. To me, it seems like this
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: is that what we found out yesterday, combined with what
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: we're hearing from the insiders, it all kind of seems
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: to be heading in the direction of that's you're going
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: to have a group that is going to be one
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: that the owners the NBA like, and obviously like.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Money comes first. Yeah, yeah, the one with the money first,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and then they'll worry about the personality. But I think
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the perfect world is you've come up with the money
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: that we're seeking, and we think we can work with you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: And in their case, they've got all their ducks in
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: a row. Right, they look it looks like they're very
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: they look appealing, right, they look like, oh well, this
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: is almost plug and play. All they need is the
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: team to go in. So just put it in uniforms
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: and start it up.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: In the words of Anna Kendrick, it's all about the money,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Chi Chang, Chi Chang, all about the money, Chichang. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: think she played your eyes though she did, Jesse j Yeah, yeah,
• 18:26

  Speaker 2: made breaking news yesterday by signing his extension. He's now
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the highest paid wide receiver in the National Football League,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and they did some really interesting things with the contract.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: He's really not going to be paid that much money
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: for a couple of years now. He's going to be
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: on a really low salary the next two years, which
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: will allow John Schneider to do some things. So we'll
• 19:56

• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a really nice offer as a backup receiver slash special
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: teams player from the Jacksonville Jaguars and probably thought, you
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: know what, this stinks that I'm leaving, but this is
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: my chance to make a little bit of money put
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: it in my pocket. So I'm gonna go ahead and

• 20:39
  Speaker 2: they matched it. So Jake Bobo's back with the Seahawks

• 20:48
  Speaker 2: wide receiver. Mariner's spring training ended yesterday and so their

  Speaker 2: don't know when they're going to vote, but it will
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: be before tomorrow certainly, or at least before tomorrow ends,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: as we are waiting to find word from the National
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Basketball Association as to whether or not the possibility expansion
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: franchises in Seattle and Las Vegas will get the thumbs
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: up from the majority large majority of the NBA owners.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Both franchises both cities would need twenty three out of
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the thirty possible votes to move to the next process
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: in the expansion, and that would be a July vote
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: once the ownership groups are set in both cities. A
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: lot of experts are saying this is a formality. Today.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Looks like it's going to get done, but I get
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that people are a little defensive about assuming that it's done.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: A done deal, so we shall see big news that
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: we will be monitoring closely. Here at KJR NCAA tournament's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: going to resume on Thursday, the round of Sweet sixteen.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: You can hear that right here at Sports Radio ninety
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: three point three KJARFM. Mariner spring training games ended yesterday
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: in Peoria. I have a feeling, after weeks of one
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: hundred degree temperatures, they'll be excited to get to the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Marine Layer. How good is the marine layer? Got? Well,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: how's it feel?
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Refreshing?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Refreshing. Opening day is just two days away Thursday, Mariners
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: will take on the Cleveland Guardians out at T Mobile.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And of course we had football news yesterday. Jake Bobo
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: had his offer from the Jacksonville Jaguars matched by the Seahawks,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: so he's staying here in Seattle and Jackson Smith and
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Jigbas signed a contract extension that will at one point
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: make him the highest paid wide receiver in the National
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Football League. And who better to discuss these two deals
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: than our QB one. Our top analyst joining us now
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: on the radio program is Hugh Millon. Good morning, sir,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: good morning. Great to be with you. Great to be
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: with you as well. Look out perky you sound at
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: seven ere Yeah, Well.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: You know what wide receivers are. A quarterback's best friend.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: That in left tackles.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: So also, if you could only have one, oh man,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a great left tackle or a great wide receiver, probably
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: a great wide receiver.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're tough, yeah, yeah, exactly and nimble and.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: If you assuming your average or better on the left tackle,
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: it's the right tackle that gets undervalue because you know
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: if the uh, if the left tackle is as poor,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: you know you can put you in the hospital. The
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: right tackle is poor, it'll put you on the bench
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: because because as a right end of quarterback, when that
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: right tackle is in your face all the time, it's
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: my god, I have a little space, please.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Then he's probably thinking, well, can you create your own
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: space just once in your life? So anyway, the street
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: goes both ways.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, let's talk some j s and uh. I mean
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: he got the contract that on paper makes him the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: highest paid receiver in the National Football League. Simple question.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: He worth that? I think he is?
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: I think in part uh boy, I didn't think of
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: using this analogy on the radio, but I was thinking
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: about yesterday when when I finally proposed to my Well,
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: I've been with her a little over two years. I've
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: only been married once, and just past the two year mark.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: I thought to myself, I really never want to imagine
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: breaking up with her or not having her. And I said, well,
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: that must mean I want to marry her. And so
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: next scene is I'm proposing, And you know, it's almost
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: it's kind of a weird, a weird way to look
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: at it. I wasn't thinking of of of how you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: how great it is. It was like the thought of, uh,
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: you know, it was kind of a negatively inclined line
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: of thought. Well, if we can apply that to jas hand.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: I don't want to imagine the Seattle scenes, Seahawks trying
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: to function without Jackson Smith and Jigba as a receiver.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I just don't.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: I don't want to think about who would replace him.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: I don't know what I want to understand how that looks.
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: I think that he's earned the contract in every way
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: as a player, uh you know, in a position that
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: is you know, just right with with divas. He's an
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: anti diva. I mean, just go back look at the
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: minute after the Minnesota game. I think he had you
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: know about under twenty five yards around that and he
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: was just saying, let's say, hey, all I want to
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: do is win, you know that? And and his body
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: language not only does his words say that, his affect
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: said that. And so I think that the leadership, uh
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: that you know, his youth, what what you project his
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: his is. I think he's still you know, I don't
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: know if he can get how he can get better,
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: but I think he can, uh so I don't want
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: to imagine life without Jackson Smith and Jigba. And that's
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: the going rate. The salary caps three hundred million. Uh,
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: he's going to be up around fourteen percent of that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: It's a big goal, but I think you have to
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: you have to do it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I hope JSN and John celebrated different than you and Michelle.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Ye, yes, certain they did. Yeah, well that would that would.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Be a time of progressive sign of progressive times if
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: they did.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Sign of something, sign of something.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: But just recap a little bit. And we've talked to you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: We talked to you, you know, every week, a couple
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: of times during the football season, and he had a
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: lot of good games last year and has in his
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: short time in the NFL. And yet just recap what
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: it is that makes him, i mean now the highest
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: paid wide receiver. So he's obviously one of the best.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: What is it that's different about this guy that wells Let's.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Talk about what he did in twenty twenty five and
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: to put that into a light, let's talk about what
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: he was before. Now he had If we take big
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: time football and we say that's Ohio State and that's
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: the Seattle Seahawks. So he had three years of at
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: Ohio State and two years at the Seahawks prior to
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: last year, got me five years. In those five years,
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: he had two thousand and four hundred and eighty six snaps.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Seventy two point four percent of them were in the slot.
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: He was under Ryan Grubb, he was at I'll just
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: he was at seventy eight percent. Shane Waldron, he was
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: sixty eight percent. Brian Hartline, the offensive coordinator Ohiose State.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: The year before that, his last year House State, he
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: was the eighty two percent. The year before that, the
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: incredible year where they broke all the Big ten records,
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: he was eighty seven percent in the slot and uh
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: and then as a freshman of a few snaps, he
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: was forty eight percent. So again, prior to last year,
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: he was seventy two percent of the snaps and under
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: under Grubby had been at seventy seven percent. Last year
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: that number fell the nineteen point one percent. He he
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: is an outside receiver. And you know Chris Collinsworth in
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: the twenty twenty four season on a game on a
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Sunday night game described DK Metcalf and said, Hey, this
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: guy has the gravitational pull of a planet. Now, I
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: basically watch all of Chris Collinsworth's content because he's all
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: He's either doing Sunday Night Football or doing playoffs, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: I watch all of those, so I never missed. I
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: never heard Chris collins Work say that, but that's what
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: he said about DK Metcalf.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: So that's where we were a year ago.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: You had just lost Metcalf the planet, the gravitational poll
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: of a planet, and you had a receiver and in
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Jigba who had that those heavy numbers that I said
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: in the slot, what can he do outside?
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Outside? He was over eighty percent last year.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: And and then what did he do well? He was?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Was he able to win? He was?
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: These are completions over fifty yards, over forty yards, over
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: thirty yards, over twenty yards. He was number one or
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: tied for number one in all of those categories. So
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: they put him outside and he was able to rip
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: corners asses, which three offensive coordinators in big time football,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Ryan Grabs, San Waldron and Brian Hartline had all looked
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: put two eyes on him. That's six eyeballs that had
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: been put on on JSN and said he's a slot
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: guy and Clint Kubiak and Mike McDonald got together and
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: they said, well, he can do a lot more. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: by the way, when you look at how guys are paid,
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: you know, if you take the take all receivers that slot,
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: what will call slot receivers good slot receivers. That's defined
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: as fifty percent or more of your snaps are in
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: the slot and two yards or more in route run.
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: And I'll get to that that in a minute. There's
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: there's three guys in the slot, Stefan Diggs, I'man Ross,
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: Saint Brown, and Wandell Robinson. You take all the guys
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: that are fifty percent or more outside and two yards
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: are more per route run. I'm gonna get to that
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: stat in a second. There's twenty two outside, so three
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: versus twenty two that the league values guys that can
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: win outside. I mentioned yards per route run and I'll
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: close on Bucky's question. Yards per route run as an
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: outside receiver the year before twenty twenty four, the year
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: before Kubiak, Jackson, Smith and Jiggwa was one point nine
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: yards per route run when he was outside. That's thirty
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: seventh out of eighty nine qualifiers. Last year out of
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: seventy eight qualifiers. He had four point one yards per
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: per route run as an outside receiver every time he
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: ran a route that that counts balls that were thrown
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: to him or not, he's four point one. Well, what
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: is four point one because that's a very obscure stat Milon, Well,
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: I'll put it into context in the last five years,
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: that's the second best season any wide receivers had only
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: tyreek Hill when he had that. When Tua led the
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: NFL about three years ago or two three years ago,
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: in yards, tyreek Hill had four point two yards. Again,
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: jays n last year as an outside receiver four point
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: one after having been one point nine in the year before.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: So he stepped up his game outside in ways that
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: that I don't know, I couldn't have seen. I couldn't
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: have seen. If you could have seen it, good on
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: you raise your hand. You know, we'll get you some
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: ice cream because that's a pretty good prediction. But but
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: those numbers are pretty staggering. The dude showed is his
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: his versatility. He showed his big playability. He you know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: in the three losses Seattle had, he he averaged one
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: hundred and twenty yards all.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: He was all over one hundred yards, so he showed
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: up when he was needed.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: And I think, I keep saying I'm gonna close, but
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: I keep getting excited about what this guy brought, what
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: he did in the NFC Championship game where he had,
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: let me look it up, the exact number, one hundred
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: and fifty three yards ten catches, one hundred and fifty
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: three yards against the Rams. And honestly, god, guys, I
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: watch a lot of tape, and you know, I watched
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: the inner cut, I watched the sideline in the end
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: zone copy and there was and so I've seen every
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: snap of JSN as a Seattle Seahawks. There was something
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: that jumped off that tape in the first quarter of
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: the NFC Championship game. It was how he caught those
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: those the smoke route on the sideline, the RPO, how
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: the one hand catch he made over by the sideline
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: like he had a baseball mid on that dude. There
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: was a speed, there was a there was a juice
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: in that man in the NFC Championship game that jumped
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: off the tape. He had a hell of a season
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: Offensive Player of the Year, but the the competitiveness that
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: he knew that he and Sam darn we're gonna have
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: to do something special to stand toe to toe with
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: with Puka Nakua and with Matthew Stafford. He knew it
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: and you could see it in the first quarter how
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: he's competing. And look at those numbers that he put up.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: So uh, you know, look, if there's any man that's
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: worth that money as a wide receiver, it's Jackson Smith
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: and Jagoba.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Here Melani is with us our QB one. We are reacting,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: of course, to yesterday's wide receiver news, the JSN news.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I do want to get a minute or two on
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Jake Bobo as well. I mean I heard those numbers.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I thought he was as good as gone to Jacksonville,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: but the Seahawks ended up matching the offer given him
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: by the Jaguars. What does that say to you about
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: how they feel about j Bobo? You well, I think
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: probably three things.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: First of all, you know, we'll just start, We'll get
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: let's get the special teams out of the way. He's been.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: He's been a very good special teams contribute. Now there's
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: been times where when they've had breakdowns. I watched the
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: end zone copy on a kickoff and I'm like, Bobo
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: was the dude that was out of the lane. So so, uh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: you know, you know that it's not like he's a superstar.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Who is the dude for the bills? Helped me out
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: that the uh tasker, right, didn't he make the whole task?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Steve Taskers. So he's no tasker. But but
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: I think they like his contributions there. I think he's
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: so that's number one. Number two. I think that this
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: speaks to how they value the the wide receiver room
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: and what he brings. He's very likable, he does things
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: the right way. There's obviously there's no divas.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: He's not.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: It doesn't contribute enough to be a diva. But but
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: I really think that he's a glue guy. It thought
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: to be a glue guy. And then and then thirdly,
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: I think that they feel like, you know that that
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: catch he had in the NFC Championship game, that you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: maybe there's a little bit more meat on the bone
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: with him, and that he could assume a slightly bigger
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: percentage of the offense, maybe more in line with his
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: the year or two before where he had a few touchdowns.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: And so in an event, I was a little bit surprised,
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: but but I think those are the factors that they're
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: focusing on.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: Do you see anything with you know, big contract for
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Jackson Smith and Jig But even though like breaking it
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: down with the basically the added two years, it's a
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: four year extension onto the two years that he still
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: had left, it's not crazy as far as how much
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: money it is. But then they're gonna spend some big
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: money on Devin Witherspoon. Do you see this as possibly
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: affecting maybe the quarterback situation here in a couple of
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: years since you kind of got a nice deal right
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: now with sam Donold as well.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think that's part of it. I mean,
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: now with this he contracted seventeen million. Now, the Seahawks
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: are the number one team in the NFL in terms
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: of allotment to wide receivers. So you know, I'm not
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: saying that as a negative of just anytime your first
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: or last in any stat you know, you kind of
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: take a little you know, scratch your head a little bit.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: And say, okay, what does this mean?
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: So they're number one, but they're only playing paying their
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: quarterback thirty three million? Right, So I think he was
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: eighteenth last year. I don't know what he'll be next year,
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: but it's going to be lower. You know, he could
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: be in the twenties Darnold in terms of the contract.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: So if you kind of think of the passing game
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: as a set, you know, like, Okay, our wide receivers
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: are relatively high, but our quarterback is relatively low. And
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: you know, in the case of Injigmit two, don't forget
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: he just turned twenty four in February. It's hard to
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: imagine because he's spent on the scene so much. You know,
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: remember it was his sophomore year. He had three hundred
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: forty seven yards and three touchdowns in the Rose Balls,
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: which is still an FBS record. It's a Rose Bowl
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: record and an FBS.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Record, you know.
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know which, which kind of dovetails to
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: what I said about the NFC Championship game.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: The dude's just a big, big game player.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: But but but yeah, I think that the finances are
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: are such it's manageable because of what you're paying Darnold
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: for the time being.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a lot to paid toward the receivers Cup
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: for fifteen million. Now you've added bobo salary onto that. Yeah. Yeah. Meanwhile, meanwhile,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to spend the dollar sixty nine
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: on running backs. It sounds like, yeah, you know what,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm sitting on my hands and waiting on that. Yeah.
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: I think they're gonna get a running back in the
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: either the first or second day. I'm gonna be pretty
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: damn concerned if they don't or make some acquisition. Yeah
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: so so, but you know what, let's just let it
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: play out. You know, color me concerned about that position
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: until we see you know, I don't until I see
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: who gets the first carry of the twenty twenty sixth season.
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: Then you know, I'm gonna be quietly concerned.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: All right, man, Hey, great stuff, Thank you very much.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you waking up early with us, and yeah,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: always good to be with you. Hammerdown, all right, milling
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: r QB one joining us here this morning, breaking it
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: down like no one else can. The JSN deal, the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Jake Bobo deal, we'll talk more about a little bit
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: later on in the show and how it does impact
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the future for the Seahawks. But coming up next, we
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: got another big event happening in about oh, I don't know,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: fifty five hours from now Sports Radio ninety three point
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: three KJRFM two each his own sick of it at
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: the moment you fired it, Yeah, who let the dogs out? No, no,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: not my cup of tea. But boy up to me,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Well sure, yeah, you gotta have to say it. I
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: get it. I mean I don't want our audience to
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: get sick of the song, but I don't want us
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: to get sick of the song either.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: I mean that's happened before, remember Wham, Wake Me Up
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: before you Go go. Couldn't stand it?
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I just hated that song and that that was
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Anders kept playing that when he would fill in for you.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: But you guys got sick of my Marley song.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I just it didn't fire me up. I wanted
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: to be like celebrating the win, like, not like the
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: Mariners one last night.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot too that I'm saying. It's a
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: lot that goes into the bread the needle. I mean,
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: it's a lot. It's a long season, so you got
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: to find the right type of thing that creates the
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: proper amount of enjoyment and long term.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold rifling it through the end zone to js N.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah in the back, Yeah, you know, that's what we're
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: doing it like that.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you can't have like basically, you can't pick
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: something that you know is going to feel more like
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: an interception than a touchdown on a regular basis, or
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: you don't win.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: There were a lot of suggestions for your the best
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: around or whatever from Karate Kid you're the best around.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: But yeah, but I'm like that still isn't and we
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: don't have it in ours so I would have to
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: put off the internet, which they say you're not supposed
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: to do. I did break earlier for we do this
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: training thing. I don't know if you guys know. And
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: I listened to every second of what you can and
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: can't do the training.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, that reminds me, I'm supposed to do that training,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: aren't the training? Yeah, we'll see if you get around
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: to it. Yeah, all right. It is Chuck Buck and
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Ashley with you coming up at the top of the hour.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about jsn's new deal and maybe the ramifications
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: of it going into the future. We also have ever
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: it fits you stop and by on the show today.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: We've got old Judge stopping buy Today on the radio program.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: But we I don't know this NBA expansion story will
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: be huge when it happens. But I realized that a
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: lot of Seattle sports fans are either so thrown off
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: by the NBA that they don't even want to hear
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: it talked about, or that they are just so guarded
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: that they want to wait till it's closer to the
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: finish line. So it's kind of hard to spend a
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: lot of time previewing a vote right here today, But
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: it is worth mentioning because it is going to be
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: a monstrous story when it does happen. It looks like
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: in the next twenty four to thirty six hours we
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: will know definitively whether or not expansion will happen in
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Seattle for the National Basketball Association. From what I gather,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: and it's not hard to find this, pretty much every
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: insider says it's a foregone conclusion that this vote will pass,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: and the bigger hurdle will be the ownership group getting
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: rubber stamped come July, whoever that might be. But this
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: thing's supposed to happen without a hitch here in the
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: next twenty four to thirty six hours, and it pretty
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: much puts us on the path toward expansion. Even if
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen, I would argue, I still think Seattle
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: is getting a team because there are a lot of
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: organizations that aren't exactly satisfying all criteria right now in
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: the National Basketball Association, and I think more so than
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: any thing, Adam Silver. Just number one, I believe Adam
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Silver wants this done. He's tired of teasing Seattle in
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas with this story. And then number two, he
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: wants the information now and so he can start putting
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: together plans to get to Seattle. That is my belief.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: But my third belief is that I don't think he
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: would be conducting this today if he didn't know he
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: already had the votes. So that's, you know, in a nutshell,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: that's what's going on here in the next twenty four
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: to thirty six hours. And we'll see when they actually
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: do get together and actually.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Vote on the thing.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you got a big group, right, You
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: got a big group of people, the owners or the
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: board of directors, whatever you want to call him, the
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: owners that are there now that have to kind of
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: vote and either give this a pass to move to
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: the next step. And then obviously a rubber stamp or
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: a pass on that before we're going to know for sure.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: But I mean it's these are people that you know,
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: a lot of them maybe got money from dad, but
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: they're understanding about how they could make money and make
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: sense for them as a league and growing the league.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: And then you got the group of people who you know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: the light Wikis and Sam Holloway, the people that are
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: kind of pushing this thing and wanting this thing to
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: they're trying to make it a reality here in Seattle.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: I think there's too many people that have their minds
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: wrapped around this for me to feel like it's going
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: to kind of halt or it's gonna stop. I feel
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: like it's kind of a train that's heading in the
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: right direction, and it's just a matter of When that said,
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, yes, the numbers. I think the secondary vote
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: is going to be the one where's you're gonna have
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: to make it to where those owners that are already
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: existing that they're like, yep, that makes sense, it makes dollars,
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: which makes sense to us. And if you can come
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: up with enough numbers there, whatever that number is, then
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: I think we're gonna get it. Because I think this
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: part is just a formality this part of yes, I mean,
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: you're gonna have it, Just there's too many things. There's
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: too much smoke around this that makes me feel like
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: they're not gonna at least get past this.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Coming up next js n's contract. When
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: will it start affecting us and how greatly we'll discuss
• 46:05

  Speaker 4: It does have a little bloop bloop.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: I might need to remain it so I can remember this.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, we went off the air there for a second,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: but they were just building up the blue bloop.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure if I like it now
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: that we've now named it blue bloop.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: It's a blot bloop song. By the way, before we
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: have ever done before we bring every on. I just
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: got to say, uh, every time I walk out, and
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: especially like before six o'clock starts and I round the
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: corner her to head to the restroom. The craken cutout
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: poster that Arden, our sales boss has in her office
• 47:08

• 47:14
  Speaker 2: taped to it scares me every single morning. Really, yeah.

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Well, and it was hanging inside of her office.
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: I'm the one that ended up taking it off of
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: the window because I just see it all the time,
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, I'll put it right there on Alexiak's face.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, I see the big cat one that's right like
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: Adam Larson, that's.

• 48:17
  Speaker 2: the show with you two wonderful people every day, all right,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: joining us now is the voice of your Seattle crack
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: and Everett fits here. He puts up with a lot
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: of our nonsense and we appreciate him doing it again today.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Hi, Everett, it's like your morning cup of coffee. You
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: come around the corner. Oh Jesus buy yeah, and then
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: you're ready to start today.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: It's but it's baby Bucky on a poster of a
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: crack and player taller than me.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Probably a big baby.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: That's a big baby.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: I feel like Bucky was not a small child. And
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, with all due respect.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what due respect I think you do.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: A normal sized baby.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Fancy. Yeah, he's actually a tiny, tiny lad.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: I was a little kid, but I was a tiny,
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: normal baby.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Okay, he's like not buying it, not buying it.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know who you're trying to sell this to,
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: but I ain't buying it. All right, Well, good to
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: have you on and yeah, we got some winning we
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: need to get done. But first things first. They announced
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: yesterday this trip to Finland for this year. It's for
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: November this year. So uh, anyway, if you could put
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: in a good word or three, Ashley, Bucky and I
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: would like to take the trip of Finland with you,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: to Finland with you, Alan Capocaco.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, if you can't get to Calgary, I feel
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: like Finland should be a pretty close second, right that
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: that that should be your your your consolation prize. But no,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be a very fun trip, I think,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: not obviously for the team and for the players going
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: over there, but I mean to be a part of
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: the Global Series, to be one of the hand full
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: of teams that gets to go internationally represent the sport
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: and your city internationally to play these games. It's gonna
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: be awesome. And I know the Kraken, you know, we've
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: been looking forward as an organization, we've been looking forward
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: to the day that we finally get invited to play
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: over there. So obviously Coppocco's excited. Even though Ellie Tolbnen
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: is a UFA, you're hoping that he's resigned sooner rather
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: than later. He's very excited about that potential. Talk to
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Yannie Newman a little bit about it. He's excited. So
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a fun opportunity to go over there
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: and help grow the game and show NHL Hockey a
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: lot of folks don't get to watch a lot of
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: NHL games overseas between the time difference and whatnot, so
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: it'll be a fun opportunity.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: Well, i mean, you, being the pro that you are,
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: I'm sure you've just asked about how excited are you
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: to go play over there and how excited are you
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: to go back for Ellie and and Copocaco to go
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: back and play in their home countries. But have you
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: gotten selfish at all? Interview asked couple if he's going
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: to introduce you to the folks and you know, maybe
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: show you around his old stomping grounds, so you know what.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: I Actually I'm very excited personally because a couple of
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: summers ago I got to go over to Finland and
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Sweden and we did some hometown visits for the Kraken.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: We were with Ellie to Holvinen, Andre Berakowski and Alexander
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Wenberg who are no longer with the organization, but we
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: got to go over there. We got to see their hometowns,
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: we met their families, we went to their favorite restaurants.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: My favorite part of that whole trip was Andre Berakowski
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: from Malmo, Sweden, calls himself the mayor of Malmo, and
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: he invites us to dinner. So we get to the
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: dinner spot and his family is there, and here comes
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: this lovely luxury sports car that pulls up and parks
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: on the sidewalk and he gets out of the car
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: and I was like, what's up, Andre, can you park there?
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: And he looks at me, looks up at the parking sign,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: looks around and says, well, I I'm the mayor of Malmo,
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: and then walks right on in the restaurant. So that
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: was probably that was That was the best fleck I've
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: ever seen. But any anytime you get to spend time
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: with players and you get to humanize these guys, I
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: think so far, so often we look at players as commodities.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: They are their contract, they are their stat line. But
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: then you also have to remember they have stories as well.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: They have families, they have parents, they have kids, they
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: have significant others. And when you're able to go to
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: these guys hometowns and see them play in front of
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: their family, I think one of the coolest things I
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: got to see was going into Elie tolvin In's childhood
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: bedroom and and he had all of his Olympic medals
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: and World junior medals and things just hanging up on
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: the walls. They got to see his old jerseys and
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: all of that. Those are the kind of stuff that
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: regular fans, regular people, they don't get to see. So
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I know that personally, I'm very fortunate to have been
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: in an opportunity in that position to have that opportunity.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be very, very exciting
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: to see the places that made some of our favorite
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: players that our fans love.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Oh that's great, and I'm glad that we need to
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: point out that side, that human side of it more often. Yeah.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: That said, though, these jerks better start playing better hockey.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: We're running out of time.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: I will say I just had my one on one
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: with Lane Lambert and the frustration goes both ways, and
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: then there there is a lot of you know, the
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: sentiment of these are mistakes, these are areas between the ears,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: These are things that you should not be needing to
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: correct at game sixty five of the season going into
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: game seventy after the deadline. So you know, the Lanes
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: used the words baffling, He's used the words dumbfounded multi times.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: And when you watch this team the last thirteen games,
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: you're four and nine out of the Olympic break, and
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: you've heard players, you know, personally for me, far too
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: many times for this time of year. You've heard too
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: many guys say, well, the other team wanted it more.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: They just outworked us, They just outwilled us. You can't
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: have that happen. And you now gone from three points
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: out of first to four points out of a playoff
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: spot in the span of three and a half weeks.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: So if you're Seattle, you're right, there's a lot of
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: soul searching that has to be done. You had some
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: success against the Panthers last week at home. You need
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: to win this game. It's another packed night in the NHL,
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: So the Kraken could win this game, you know, at
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock Eastern time, and then by the time they
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: land in Tampa, you know they're going to be scoreboard
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: watching the Kings game and the Sharks game. So there
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: just needs to be a lot of internal soul searching
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: for this team coming up here the rest of this
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: road trip.
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: All right, So the souls searching, what's it turned into
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: as far as on the ice, I mean, what is
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: it that they need to do that they've got to
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: search their.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: Soul for well, a lot of it.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: A lot of it is you know Lane. Lane had
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: a very good comment the other day. He said, I
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: need this team to do the things that don't take talent.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: I need them to be better at the things that
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: requires zero talent, which means working hard, which means going
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: to the front of the net, which means, you know,
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: not being outworked, not being outwilled by the other team.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: This system has been proven to work that Lane's put
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: in place, and a lot of it is just that
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: extra stuff that doesn't need talent, you know it does.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: You don't need to be talented to work hard. You
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: don't need to be talented to skate hard, and to
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: be physical and to win puck battles that doesn't require talent.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: So those are the areas that I think the Krack
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: can really need to focus on. And then also their starts.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've been outscored in the first period. I
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: don't have the numbers in front of me, but I
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: think the last four or five games the Kraken have
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: given up multiple goal leads or or have had multiple
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: goal deficits against them in the first period. Over these
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: last four to last six games, so you have to
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: start on time. You can't be down two nothing, three
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: nothing with five minutes left in the first period and
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: then have to dig yourself out of a hole. And
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: once again, that comes from that attention to detail, from
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: the drop of the puck, that that that this team
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: has not seemed to have enough of in the last
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: few weeks.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Well, they've had a couple of days off here and
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: you've had I guess a little bit of time there
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: in Florida. Have you taken your talents to South Beach?
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: I have not gone to South Beach, ire Fort Lauderdale
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: guy myself. But you know what, this time of year,
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: it's a lot of hard work to keep this hand.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: So you know, I've been spending time outside on the patio,
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: taking my computer outside, done some work and soaked up
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: some rays. Yeah, got some lovely seafood dinner last night
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: with the traveling party. So it's it's been nice. It's
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: been nice. And if my wife is listening, I've not
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: been outside at all. The weather's been terrible. It has
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: been raining here, so I've really gotten no time to myself.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: It's just been a working slog the last couple of days,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: grind grind, you know, real grind.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even come up for air. He works so hard.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: No, no, yeah. I actually had to just close the
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: blackout curtains in my in my room because it was
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: just so depressingly dark and dreary out in South Florida.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: All right, well deliver us. I'll win tonight. What do
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: you say? Yes, yes, we need that.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: That that is I think that is number one. Uh Again,
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Lane was very very uh pointed this morning in his comments,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: and then he expects a lot out of the group.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: And I've talked to a few of the guys as well,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: and they they are ready to put this last stretch
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: of games behind them and turn it on this evening.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: So we'll see all it sounds good. We'll be listening.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, appreciate you.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: All right, Vellas Ashley, we'll talk to you next week.

  Speaker 2: hour of our Tuesday edition of the radio program. And
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: you know what they say, I mean, they warn you.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: It's like a warning label on the back of cigarettes.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: They slap it right there on the start of spring training.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Don't read into the numbers. Yeah, it's a big warning. Okay,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: big warning. Do not read in the spring training numbers,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: otherwise you'll be sorry. Yeah.
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you can read into some and then
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: not read into others.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Oh really, I was going to pick and choose. Well,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: we're going to read into spring training numbers, so I'm
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: going to defy what all the doctors have opvized. So
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: let's start with just the record overall eleven nineteen and one,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: eleven nineteen and one record. What are we reading into that? Zero? Zero?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's zero.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: Not even an ounce of me is concerned about them
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: playing what would that be thirty three percent baseball or
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: roughly somewhere around there. No zero, I mean they didn't
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: even have their one. You don't you're not playing with
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: your team, your actual team. So any team record, this
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 6: is most of spring training was not played with the
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: team you're going to take into the season. You had
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: a bunch of minor leagues there, non roster invite guys,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 6: and then you had for this one, you had half
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: of spring training that your best players were playing in
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: the WBC.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: So it means nothing.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think Larry Stone. I think it was somebody
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: else's and he was just retweeting it. But I don't
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: remember the original math doer. I just remember Larry Stone.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: He said, same record as last year, nineteen, same record.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 5: We look at the disaster last year.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we should read into it. They didn't even
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: get to the World Series last year. Yeah, so yeah,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: it doesn't look like there's really reading into any record. Yea.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: In them stats meant all right?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: All right, that one means nothing. We're gonna put a
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: big down arrow next to that. Okay, all right. Cole Young,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: what do we read into led the team and home
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: runs this spring with six, twice the number of runs
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: batted in as any player on the entire organization this spring.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Cole Young went out there without a for sure job,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: have a favorite to win the job, but not for sure. Uh,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: and it looks like he just left no doubt out
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: on the baseball field. We read anything to those upsurge
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: and power numbers, Yeah, well, I mean I'm not going
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: to read into it that he's going to lead the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: team this year in Homer's right, or that he's going
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: to have twice the RBIs right that No.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 6: I mean he had the most of bats out of
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: anybody in spring training as well, and so and it's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: not a lot. I mean, it's fifty seven at bats
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 6: that he had. I'll read into it though, So, I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: mean it's it is literally like a coping mechanism is
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: what you do as a baseball player. If you're doing poorly,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 6: then you have to cope. You have to figure out Okay,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: well that's in the past, I can't change it. That
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 6: doesn't mean that it doesn't register that you just have
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: to make it not register anymore. And yet in spring
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 6: training it's like, Okay, these stats don't really count, and
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 6: so if I'm not doing well, then I have to go, Okay,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: well what am I working on?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: What do I just need to work on?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: And then so you just let it kind of try
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 6: to roll off your back as nothing. But if you're
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: doing well. Then you're like, I'm feeling good. Then you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 6: you ride it, you feel it, you let yourself, you
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: let it mean something. It just doesn't count. I mean
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 6: it doesn't. He would love if he got to start
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 6: off the season with this sixty eight bats in his
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 6: back pocket, right, six homers and all these RBIs and
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: hit two eighty one.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: But now h's three on opening day. Cole won't say
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I've already got six right right. He might, he might
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: if he was a smart ass, and that would be funny.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think he is.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: I don't think he is, either, but it would be
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: really funny. Cow goes yard three times. I'm pretty sure
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: I had more than you, and spring training.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: He'll double you up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe you're almost there, Bud,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: keep trying the game, Go get him, Tiger. I do
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: think it's real from this standpoint, and I don't know
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: if we were saying this a year ago. Cole Young's
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: power is real. He's not hitting wall scrapers out there.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: He's hitting bombs. And I didn't know he was capable
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: of that. The first time I even thought thought of
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: him as that was last year when he had like
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: two two during the regular season that went damn near
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: five hundred feet and he was noticed simply wider this year.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: And I don't mean that in a bad way, but
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: his back is wider. So there's some thump there. I
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: don't know if it's power. He's never been graded out
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: as a power hitter, but there's definitely some thump. And
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: I think that the young man. I mean, he's built,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: it's very sturdy, and he obviously spent some time, you know,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: in the weight room this offseason. I think he got
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: a bowflex because now we're seeing now we're seeing him
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: kind of repeat that more frequently spring or not. I
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: mean those he's just hit six bombs this spring. I
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: think he's got a legitimate power. I'm gonna call it.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: He's a twenty homer hitter this year. He's gonna hit
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: at least twenty ores.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got the power to do it, no doubt
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, some of the power numbers in spring training
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 6: are discounted because the ball does jump down there. It
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: just feels like and you're sometimes you're facing some kid
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: that's going to be an A ball or double A
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: and so they throw some meatballs. But I mean last
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: year he had the longest home run of any maritor
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 6: and he didn't even play the whole season up there
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 6: in the regular season, and then this year he had
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: the longest home run in spring training period. YEP, four
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: hundred and seventy eight feet. That's not pop, that's not thump.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: That's power. That's that's big boy power. Now, I think
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: there's a difference. Is he an oppo taco, no doubter guy.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know about that. But you drop one where
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 6: he can drop head on it and yanke that thing
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 6: to the gap or down the line, and he's got
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 6: as much power as just about amy on the squad.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: We're reading positively those yes putting up barrow. Yes next
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: to Cole Young, All right, let's jump to col couldn't
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: have had a worse WBC. How do we read into that?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: It's something because I think that he is a guy
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: that takes pride in doing everything the right way, and
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: unfortunately he had a hand in something being misconstrued and
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: taken out of context and overblown that there's people still
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: right now think he's bad for it, and he didn't
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: intend it as such. So I think that there's something
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: that said again, the compartmentalized to move on from things
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: that aren't going your way. You don't get you don't
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: hit sixty homers in a season unless you have you've
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 6: got a really damn good idea of how to handle
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: the mental side of the ups and downs.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: And so I think it's disappointing, but if anything, I.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: Would think it probably fires him up a little bit
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 6: more to go out and just just get after it
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: right off.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: To see it right as a season, well it's not
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: just I mean the Rose Arena thing I think was
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: the worst part of it all. Not that it was
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: a bad thing. We've already cleared this up, but how
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: it got blown so far out of proportion. He had
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: to deal with it. I mean, Kyl Rawley's not spent
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of his life and certainly his time as
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: a professional baseball player, being criticized for anything. I mean,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: he's beloved here, he became beloved nationally. The big Dumper
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: nickname that went off this past year became a household name.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: This is like, the first criticism is unfair, as I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: thought it was that he's had to receive and he
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: received a lot of it, but he also didn't have
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: a hit. He got benched, he was the starting catcher.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: He didn't end up the starting catcher. He got bingched
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: in a tournament by his manager. He had an uncharacteristic
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: horrible pass ball at a bad moment. So it was
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: just overall, just like, I'm sure it was a good
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: experience for cal. I'm sure it was a rewarding in
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways, but it's certainly not what he envisioned.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: And I hope that it doesn't affect him negatively in
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: one ounce. It won't.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, you're right, I mean, he definitely didn't finish
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: the way that he had dreamt, right. I mean, you
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 6: think I get to wear USA across my chest and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 6: I'm expecting to win the whole thing and you know,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 6: have a big knock or a couple of big homers
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 6: across the way. It didn't happen that way. But again,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 6: you just you take it doesn't matter. He doesn't start
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: out the season zero for nine, he doesn't start out
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: the season on the verge of maybe losing his starting job.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: All of that stuff is nothing.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 6: It's got bench for with nine games, like I will
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: change my affiliation my team, I will root for another team.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: All right, So we're not reading into Cal's WBC, we're
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: gonna put a negative. We're gonna down, arrow down, big
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: down down on that one. Josh Naylor didn't exactly light
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: it up for Team Canada and with the Mariners thirty
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: at bats, one extra base hit, he had about as
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: he had about as anti Cole Young a spring training
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: as anyone in the organization. What do we read into that?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 6: If there's a guy that that for him between the years,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 6: could care less about the outcome of a spring training
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 6: at bat, I don't.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: I mean I mean that in a good way. There
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: there's I couldn't do that. I could not be that
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: lase a fair about the outcome.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: But then again, I also as I got better at
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: playing the game, I realized it's all about the approach.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: It's all about setting up my work ethic and making
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 6: sure that I'm doing what I need to do that
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 6: gives me the best chance at the possible outcomes. Josh
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: Naylor goes out there wearing you know, Seattle Storm Jersey.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Half the time. He sometimes he didn't have socks on.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: He was just out there.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 6: He's just going through the motions, doing what he knows
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 6: he needs to be, to do to where he feels
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: ready this Thursday.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: That's all that he's doing.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: He doesn't.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think he gives. I don't think he cares
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: one bit.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: If he struck out, he spent more time working on
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: his relationship with Tucker.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: Ye, it's an important relationship.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: Though I knew about his outcomes, yes he did.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: I wonder how said Tucker was when he's not there.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: When he went to WBC, He's like, where's my treat guy?
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: Somebody picked up the slack?
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: All right, Naylor not reading into it now? Narrow unto
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: that one. Let's talk about uh. I want to get
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: to a couple pitchers here. But cold Emerson to sixty
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: eight batting average in the spring against major league pitching,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: all major league pitching, pretty mu. He was starting most
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: games three forty on base four eighty eight slug eight,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: twenty eight ops all but short sample. We understand that,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: as Ryan Heay put it yesterday, he blended in something
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: to that effect. I don't know why the exact words
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: that he used, something like when he first said it
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: to us, I thought he was criticizing him, like he
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: didn't stand out, but he was saying no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: What I mean by that is that when you watched
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: the game, he looked like a major leaguer. Yeah, he
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: didn't stand out like he was trying to prove that.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: He just blended in on the field as a major leaguer.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't light it up like Cole Young
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: did offensively, but he seemed to hold his own. How
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: much do we read into Colt Emerson's spring numbers.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: Well, I read into it exactly kind of the way
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: that Ryan was talking about it. Where if you watch right,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: here's a watch a college baseball game, and they don't
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 6: look like big leaguers, not because they don't have the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: same size, per say, or that they're not as old,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: they just don't look they don't move like big leaguers,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: they don't act like big leaguers.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: They're not big, they're not. Then you can find in
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: minor leagues.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: You'll find somebody that looks special on the minor league field,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: and they look different than the other minor leaguers, but
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: they still don't look like big leaguers. I think what
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: he was talking about, and when we saw him down there,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: the way in which he kind of walks around, you
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: can tell that he feels that he belongs, he's capable,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: not a there's not a passive part of like, oh,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 6: I don't know for sure if I belong here, and
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 6: I know that feeling a lot when I would get
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 6: called up to big league games. It's just like, oh,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 6: this is different. And I'm sure that I looked I
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: did not look like I felt fit there, and that
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: I was. I probably I felt out of place, so
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: I probably looked like I was out of place. I
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: would say I read into what his stats are as
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: this kid is getting sent down, but he's knowing it's
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: just a matter of time until he's a big leaguer.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: And what he showed over the course of the twenty
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: games that he played or whatever, is that he's he's
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: capable of competing and with more growth, doing more thriving,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: succeeding up here.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: All right, we're going to read into that one positively. Yes,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: arrow up. Yeah.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: You notice in the trend.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Here, those spring training numbers means something, yh Those do yes?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: Positive ones do? Negative ones do not?
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: I like the leave.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk about a couple of the pictures.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Emerson Hancock looks like he'll start in the rotation again
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: this year. This is what three years in a row
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: that this has happened and didn't have a you know,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: all that outstanding of an era during spring over fifteen
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: innings of work, five point four to zho. He gave
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: up more than a hit an inning, but he had
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: twenty one strikeouts. No one that pitched had a better
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: strikeout rate than Emerson Hancock and he is and by
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: the end of camp was receiving raves for his improved
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: v LOO and the movement on his pitches. What do
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: we read into Emerson Hancock's numbers.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's something to your objective as a pitcher
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: is to not allow them to score. So an ERA
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: of five point four to oh is not great. That said,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 6: you're also working on things. There's times when it's you know,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: maybe there's a guy on second base, he got a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: base open. In regular season, if it's somebody big up there,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: you'd be like, I'm gonna nibble here, and yet in
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 6: spring training you're like, I'm gonna go after this guy
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: here and see what happens. Boom, next thing, you know,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 6: seeing I ground ball or even hard hit ball and
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 6: you give up a run, the strikeout numbers I definitely
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: look into because when we've seen him the last couple
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 6: of years, that's been his buggabook, kind of like how
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 6: Logan Gilbert was his first year. Like the inability to
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 6: put people away when you get ahead of them. For
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: him to have the most strikeouts in twenty one strikeouts
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: of fifteen innings, there's nothing to scoff at. And he's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: he's I think he's learning. He obviously still has room
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: to grow. So I read into the good part of it,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: and no read into the bad party exactly like that
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: I like to be And I'm not kidding you, guarantee you.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: They all are thinking exactly the same way. Yea, all
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: of them.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: Ryan Sloan, after starting the spring as our talk of camp,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: he ended his spring and the Spring breakout throwing three
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: perfect innings against the Milwaukee Brewers top ranked farm system.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: What are we reading into Ryan Sloan's camp?
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: I think when we saw him, and even when we
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 6: talked to him, he seems like, well, he looks like
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: a child. He looks like he should be one of
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 6: the babies in the baby commercial, the Magner's baby commercial.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Be great if he was said, non Luke, really, Yeah,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: like he's in a stroller.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, hey, somebody will get Sloan. He's got a pitch.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: Put your binkie down, Sloan. I think that what I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: read out of him, and this isn't just the stats,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: but just the way in which he kind of carries
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: himself is he's a dude that's gonna need a little
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: bit of time. But I think he just got his
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: first dose of what it's like to be at the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: highest level. And he fits, he belongs, he's capable. I
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: think that I think you can read into what it
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: is is are saying, you know, he might be the
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: next Garrett Cole type guy, like an ace like that.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 6: I don't think that anything he did in spring makes
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: him feel that that is far fetched.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, just the difference between the success that Kate Anderson,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: because he got roughed up a couple times, but Sloan
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: was like, nobody can touch me, No grown man can
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: touch me.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 8: Because they I mean, those were those were the two
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 8: guys that were talking of camp, and I'm again we're
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 8: not reading too much into Kate Anderson having struggled in
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 8: a couple of starts, first time he's ever faced major
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 8: league getters, but.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: Ryan Sloan a very limited amount of time. I think
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: he only threw one inning against actual major leaguers, But man,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: he's struggled against no one so far in his entire life.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's you, Like I said,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: you you can.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 6: You got to take the things that are good and
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 6: you build off of them so they do count or
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: they they matter. The things that don't you have to
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 6: let it as Okay, Well that's a lotaring situation. He
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: didn't have a lot to He had to learn this
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 6: the hard way quickly.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Can I could just derive at this conclusion. Luke Rayley
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: nine three ops in the spring, so obviously he's back
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: on track. And Rob Refsnyder with a five thirty six
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: ops which is terrible. Clearly nothing to worry about.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the refistrator one, I'm not one hundred percent sure
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: what I think about Ref Schneider at this point.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: I never beat him.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna have to see him.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: But Luke Raley, I think was motivated this offseason to
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 6: rebound from an injury riddled poor season that he had
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 6: last year. And it looks like he's he's back. There
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: you go, he can be he can be a catalyst
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 6: for some big things. I love the way he plays
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: a game.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah I do too, And I mean he can have
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: a bad year. He had a bad year. He had
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: a bad year, a lot of injuries with that. But
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: it's not like he's some fossil. He's still in his
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: twenties and I think can contribute something and looks like
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: he's going to share right field with Roblaze and then
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: can Zone and Ref Schneider will share the DH duties.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: Kind of what we told you from day one camp.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up next, the old judge will stop
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: by Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M. Yeah,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: you got it.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: The thirty third.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Your wish is my command, the thirty third whatever whatever
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: you whatever, you call it, you'll trade it, bung hole
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: to be number thirty three, trade whatever.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 5: Just I just want thirty third, he said, whatever. We
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 5: could come up with some stuff.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: You guys, do I think that's your real name?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah it is.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, that was a direct. The judge is here,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: he is ready to rule inside his courtroom. This is
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: how it works. I'm going to bring up a few
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: topics to be debated inside the courtroom between Ashley and
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: I not necessarily disagreed upon. But once the judge has
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: heard enough, he will slam his gabble. The court must
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: come to order, and then he will weigh in. That's right.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: And what you mean by the court will come to order,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 6: it means you guys shut your mouths. But you don't
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: do that very well, and you should be held in
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 6: contempt and maybe thrown in jail.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: You're the judge.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well we'll try to do better. It
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: sounds like let's get things going with this first one.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: All right, Should the Sonics return, they need to come
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: back with the exact uniforms they last wore.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, as long as it's not that dark green
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 5: with the red trim with the space needle. I did
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: not like that one. But the classic the bar across
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 5: the chest and the seattle on some of them, and
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: Sonics on some of them, and the green and the
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: yellow and the white sign me up, especially because I
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 5: already have one and I don't need to buy anyone.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever one Kevin Durant has seen, ye, that's the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: one that's the one that has to come back. And
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: I love that we do this. Now we recognize, oh man,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: that is a great look and that's just tailor it
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: better so it doesn't just hang on them like we
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: have the technology. So I just want just like we
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: did with the Sea Hawk uniforms that looked all loose
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: on Steve Largent, but we tailor them better and there's
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: nothing that looks better. I want to do the same
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: thing with that Sonics uniform. Yep.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want it to be new, new, brand new.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: Well I'm not brand new similar, Oh definitely the color
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: scheme and without the maroon. I don't need the red
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: in there at all, just the yellow, green, white. But
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: I want it to be new. I want it to
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: be different. I'm still taking stuff off of it. I
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: would love somehow the space needle in there. If you
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 6: will something, I mean, however you want to do it.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: I think there's a new way to do it. I
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: don't need it to be full back, full throwback, because
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: I think you can then have throwbacks. I don't think
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: anybody's going to be bummed out. I think it just
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: is something. There's it's an opportunity to do something something
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: new and yet use the old school colors.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: For sure. Yeah, I'm not thinking red at all. To
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: get the red out of there.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 5: That red was terrible. I mean that uniform was like
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: cartoonish too. I didn't like it. Yeah, I just like
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: the classic.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: That's the classic, the green and the thing and yellow
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: is so popular right now, I mean you could probably
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: do that a little differently. Oh yeah, we're not supposed to.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: Talk after the judges rule, that's right.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: Even though we can do that, we're not supposed to
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: tell the judge his choice was wrong, right.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, don't do that all right, Next one, Logan
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: Gilbert will have agreed to a contract extension with the
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Mariners before season's.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 5: End, Yes, he will. I think he is the next
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: piece of the puzzle. I think what he brings to
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 5: the team in terms of his talent, but also just
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: his general demeanor. I think he's an excellent addition to
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: the team. I think they know that. I think they
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: recognize the chemistry with him and Cal and I think
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 5: that is very important.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: And I also think he is the lowest risk injury
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: guy because he's gumby, he's dumby, dumb it, and so
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: I think he's just a really smart investment. There's talk
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: that he may want to go back toward Florida, but
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: I think that his heart now belongs here. I think
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: he gets an extension. I think Emerson Hancock has a
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: little bit of a breakthrough year, and he or Andersoner
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: will be in the starting rotation next year, and George
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: Kirby will be traded. I think all of that will
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: happen between now and next.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Cavil Cavel Cavel.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I like all of that that
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: you just said, but I do like the idea of
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 6: locking down Logan. I mean, he's your if you want
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: to say, he's your dude, like your guy that just
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: kind of has the most homegrown field, even though all
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: these guys have homegrown field, right, they're all homegrown. But
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: I think that he's kind of the one that embraces
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: the most. You think about the nucleus of Julio and Cal,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: is there anybody that's more with Cal, like aligned with
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: Cal than Logan. I mean, it seemed maybe maybe him
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: and George are tighter, but I don't think so. I
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 6: think it's Logan's kind of that guy. The one thing
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: I would just be concerned as I expecting him go
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: out and have a big year, and then is he
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: going to is he gonna go Okay, well, now I
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: don't want to test it because you haven't signed me
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: up to that early deal.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 6: The longer you wait, the more years of arbitration where
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: he gets a bump and pay raise but not you know,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: the thirty forty million dollar bump that he would get
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 6: through free agency, the less likely they are too. You
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: can but that you can buy him out of arbitration years.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 6: So I mean, I think that he wants to stay here.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: I think that they want him to stay here. I'm
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: saying yes, I think that by the season ends they will.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 6: But then again, it's one of those if he starts
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: going off, that number is gonna keep going up.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: Now, well they all got one more year of arbitration
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: after this one play with Yeah, one more year, so
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: we shall see, all right. Next up, Mick cronin versus
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: Dan Hurley Sunday set an NCAA record for most combined
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: jerk in one game and tournament history.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, I looked at five iron I was like, which
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: jerk do you want to win this one? I mean
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: the whining, the l D the l obs, I mean
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 5: they are l o d's, the looks of disbelief like
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 5: they just oh, everything's so dramatic, and they're just so angry.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: And I think Cronan's more jerky than.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 5: I know, which is hard to do. That is really
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 5: hard to do. I dislike them quite a bit.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: And you know what happens when you have a face
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: off of jerks. It's a uh huh right right right?
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I think finish.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: I think it's set the record. I think it was
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: the biggest off in the history of college basketball.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: I watched the thing.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 6: Oh sorry, yeah, yeah. First of all, I watched that.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: I watched our training thing, and I didn't know that
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: was a word. I wasn't supposed to say, just because
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 6: you didn't say it. I didn't say it, but I
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: wanted to say it. But yes, I think that that
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 6: was a real battle of jerks that they that they
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 6: showed there, and I think, uh mc cronan, I think
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: for sure wins it.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I think there were moments
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: where Hurley's like, do I look like that? And tell
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: me I don't look like that.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: Probably just after and they're like, yeah, bro, you it
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 5: was like looking in a mirror for you, I'm sure.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: I think, well, I got to stop doing that. I
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 4: do that don't. I, yes, you do.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: Let's wait till one more game. He's going to be
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 5: the same jerk.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard to turn over a new leaf when
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 6: you're that jackie. It's hard to turn the whole leaf over.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 6: But you might turn over a little bit, like at
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: least I want to be second.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 5: He can lift a little bit of a leaf up
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 5: and then be like, oh, I don't like it when
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: it's on that side either, so.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: I don't put it back down once you've lost a jerk.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 5: Mm hmm. The opposite of on.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: You know, you learn a few things, Yeah you do? So, yeah,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: you want to change? You want to change, all right?
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Last one, Ashley from Mill Creek wants to know what
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: would Techline Roofing have done had Jake Bowbo signed with Jacksonville.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 5: Very concerned about it. I've heard his ad to day.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 5: I thought, wow, I bet they're breathing a sigh of relief.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: I think I know what would happen. I think they
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: would have moved with him. I know here and I
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: know they do a hell of a business, but I
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: have a feeling that they probably would have just their
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: old family, family business and gone to Jacksonville. Gavel.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, there, they do need roofs in Florida, and
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: tech Line could probably come up with hurricane proof ones.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: Uh so I'm with you.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 6: I think they probably would have moved with Bobo or
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know, asked ras Sheet if he wanted to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: be tech Lan.
• 1:25:28
