- 1:19Speaker 3: here this morning for a second morning in a row
- 1:22Speaker 3: from Michigan, where we watched wonderful, wonderful results last night.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Bucky Jacob said, that was some good stuff.
- 1:30Speaker 4: It really was. It was a lot of time. Ran
- 1:33Speaker 4: into a lot of people that didn't travel here from Seattle,
- 1:38Speaker 4: and they were like, well.
- 1:39Speaker 5: A bad day, I'm not really pretty good actually.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Pretty good day over all day.
- 1:46Speaker 5: Yeah, actually Seattle fans. Yeah, as a matter of fact,
- 1:52Speaker 5: So hi.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Fine, but I gotta say, I mean, we've got to
- 1:56Speaker 2: talk about this for a minute before we dive into
- 1:58Speaker 2: this game. Bucky and I are really like overwhelmed by
- 2:03Speaker 2: how nice these people, even the ones that are despondent
- 2:07Speaker 2: about their tigers losing to the Mariners, and they find
- 2:09Speaker 2: out that we're Mariner fans, are like so gracious about it,
- 2:15Speaker 2: Like it's unreal what we're experiencing. Last night, we're walking home.
- 2:20Speaker 2: We went to Tommy's for a second straight night, and
- 2:23Speaker 2: we're going back again tonight because the place is that good.
- 2:27Speaker 2: And so we're walked back and like and I Bucky
- 2:29Speaker 2: and I are just dumbfounded, like, can you believe how kind.
- 2:32Speaker 3: These people are? I mean, it is unbelievable. So I
- 2:36Speaker 3: walk in this morning and I'm like, I'm.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Probably imagining that. I'm sure that that didn't. I'm sure
- 2:40Speaker 2: we're just exaggerating. We're having a good time. We're feeding
- 2:43Speaker 2: off Mariner, you know winds.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just we're letting it.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Go to our heads in our hearts, that's all. They're
- 2:50Speaker 2: not as nice as I imagine. So I go and
- 2:52Speaker 2: I try to find a fork this morning here at
- 2:55Speaker 2: the iHeart Studios in Detroit. And I walk in and
- 2:58Speaker 2: there's this young man, probably twenty five years old, and
- 3:02Speaker 2: he says.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Well, good morning, welcome to Detroit.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate it. It's great to be here.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Everybody's been very nice. Is there a plastic fork that
- 3:13Speaker 2: I could grab? Is there a plastic fork that you
- 3:16Speaker 2: can grab?
- 3:17Speaker 3: Of course?
- 3:18Speaker 2: And he rows over and he pulls open a drawer
- 3:20Speaker 2: and there's just supplies for days and there's a thousand
- 3:25Speaker 2: plastic forks in there. Hey, I want you to know,
- 3:28Speaker 2: you just make yourself at home. I mean, you were
- 3:31Speaker 2: a part of our family. So anything around here, there's tea,
- 3:34Speaker 2: there's coffee, it's yours.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm like yeah, And I'm like, is there
- 3:39Speaker 3: a track being played on us?
- 3:41Speaker 5: I really feel like we're getting punked?
- 3:42Speaker 3: Yeah? Is there a hidden for nice? What is happening?
- 3:48Speaker 3: I thought that these people were like rough. I thought
- 3:51Speaker 3: that we were going to have to like watch our backs.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I thought I would get stabbed in the back.
- 3:55Speaker 2: With a plastic fork if if we beat the Tigers
- 3:58Speaker 2: in game number three. And here's this guy just like, yeah,
- 4:02Speaker 2: you know, our home is your home. Jake is his name.
- 4:06Speaker 3: I mean, we don't even provide supplies in Seattle for ourselves,
- 4:11Speaker 3: no much less for guests that roll into town.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no secret stash somewhere for the guests. I mean,
- 4:18Speaker 2: it's hard to find any kind of fork, uh in
- 4:20Speaker 2: our kitchens. And we've got nice studios. But I don't
- 4:24Speaker 2: know what's happening over here. But this guy was like,
- 4:27Speaker 2: you know, getting foot rubs in the you know, in
- 4:29Speaker 2: the meeting rooms. You know, I mean, whatever you want,
- 4:32Speaker 2: this guy's got your covered.
- 4:33Speaker 3: What do you what's your favorite snack?
- 4:35Speaker 2: Starburst? Well I might have some, right, So happens jumbo pack? Yea,
- 4:39Speaker 2: it opens up his coat. I mean, are we getting punked?
- 4:42Speaker 2: Because this is unbelievable.
- 4:44Speaker 5: I don't happen.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I feel like a memo came out that, like, you know,
- 4:47Speaker 4: somehow they told people, hey, if you see this giant
- 4:50Speaker 4: bald ginger guy and this other you know guy Chuck,
- 4:54Speaker 4: if you if you see them, just be nice. They
- 4:56Speaker 4: have really had a tough thing on which we don't,
- 4:59Speaker 4: you know, like like they're going through a lot just
- 5:02Speaker 4: I mean, it's honestly that it's so over the top.
- 5:05Speaker 4: The dumbfounded is a perfect word for it. We walked
- 5:07Speaker 4: out of Tommy's again like what isn't that what I mean?
- 5:11Speaker 4: I don't even know how. I mean, I told Tommy
- 5:15Speaker 4: last night when we met the owner that I might
- 5:18Speaker 4: just tell my family pack up, we're moving to Detroit.
- 5:22Speaker 5: I traveled all.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Around the country playing a minor league ball for all
- 5:25Speaker 4: those years, and then I always was like, the Northwest
- 5:28Speaker 4: is home. Northwest is home, and that's it's the best play.
- 5:32Speaker 4: It's just because I didn't spend enough time in Detroit, babe.
- 5:35Speaker 2: I mean, we got three hugs from three different employees
- 5:37Speaker 2: as we were leaving last night.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Then we've known for two days. I mean, I said
- 5:43Speaker 5: like forty words to Jody.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Trying to pick up our tab.
- 5:46Speaker 5: You guys are gonna be here tomorrow. I'm gonna be
- 5:48Speaker 5: off hug.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I don't think we were overly charming, if anybody's making that.
- 5:54Speaker 5: Yeah possible.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we were just open to their charms
- 5:58Speaker 2: and they liked it.
- 6:00Speaker 3: We reciprocated.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 2: So anyway, Detroit, you've been a great host, and you
- 6:06Speaker 2: even let us kick your ass last night, So thank you.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You couldn't be more accommodating here.
- 6:11Speaker 2: We come into your town, we try to steal your lunch,
- 6:14Speaker 2: we do it, and you say.
- 6:15Speaker 5: Thank you, You're welcome.
- 6:20Speaker 4: I've been told have a blessed day, yes, six times, David.
- 6:24Speaker 2: I was even shooting a video last night for the
- 6:27Speaker 2: social media apparently that's a thing, and I'm trying to
- 6:32Speaker 2: do something from the Mariners perspective. But I'm out in
- 6:34Speaker 2: the middle of a bunch of Tiger fans and there
- 6:36Speaker 2: was one guy and I could see that he was
- 6:38Speaker 2: overhearing what I was doing, and I was talking a
- 6:40Speaker 2: little trash in my little video U and I'm in
- 6:44Speaker 2: the midst of it, and he comes over and he's
- 6:46Speaker 2: got no Tigers are going to win. Goes back and forth,
- 6:48Speaker 2: and so we have a little bit of an exchange
- 6:50Speaker 2: on the video and then he just starts laughing. He goes,
- 6:53Speaker 2: you're all right, wow, even when I'm talking trash.
- 6:59Speaker 5: Like you so nice, you so cool over me.
- 7:02Speaker 3: My daughter, Yeah, she's for crabs.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's been great. Thank you for being a
- 7:12Speaker 2: great host, and we plan to destroy you tonight. All right, Well,
- 7:17Speaker 2: let's talk about the game. It is Chuck and Buck.
- 7:19Speaker 2: We are here in Detroit, Michigan. They've been a great
- 7:22Speaker 2: host to us, but we have baseball to discuss. Mariners
- 7:27Speaker 2: win it last night by a final score of eight
- 7:29Speaker 2: to four. It was a complete effort by this team.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert got the job done as a starter, the
- 7:36Speaker 2: team from top to bottom, and that's what they've been
- 7:39Speaker 2: waiting for, is what we've been waiting to see.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Again.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Was very effective. You score eight runs on the night,
- 7:46Speaker 2: and even the bullpen had done its job pretty much.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Everyone but Ferguson really played well last night.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Yeah, And Ferguson made it unnecessarily uncomfortable there in the
- 7:57Speaker 2: ninth and we had to bring in Muniose to put
- 7:59Speaker 2: out his but nonetheless pretty convincing win last night in
- 8:04Speaker 2: game number three, eight to four was the final score,
- 8:07Speaker 2: and there certainly were good vibes in the clubhouse, and
- 8:10Speaker 2: yet an absolute you know, focus on jobs not done
- 8:16Speaker 2: and we're just getting started. You just really feel like
- 8:19Speaker 2: this team really understands the moment. I mean, that's the
- 8:23Speaker 2: impression that I've gotten being around them here in these
- 8:26Speaker 2: playoffs thus far. They really understand the moment, They understand
- 8:30Speaker 2: what's at stake, they understand how badly the fan base
- 8:33Speaker 2: wants it. They want it that badly, and yet they're
- 8:37Speaker 2: keeping everything in perspective. And that's a pretty encouraging sign
- 8:41Speaker 2: for me. Yeah, it's a great sign. I mean, you know,
- 8:43Speaker 2: you'll hear it and you see it actually even more
- 8:46Speaker 2: than you hear about it. When you're watching sports where
- 8:49Speaker 2: when a team comes together, when a team is playing
- 8:53Speaker 2: good team sport whatever it is, baseball, football, whatever, you
- 8:58Speaker 2: kind of get the feel that this team is.
- 9:00Speaker 5: They know who they are now. It's not a team.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Last year we watched a ton of games where it
- 9:06Speaker 4: felt like you had, you know, four or five guys
- 9:08Speaker 4: at the top of the lineup that they were gonna
- 9:10Speaker 4: have to provide the punch. They were gonna have to
- 9:12Speaker 4: provide the offense at least the spark to get something going,
- 9:14Speaker 4: and you maybe I'll get a little chip in from
- 9:16Speaker 4: the bottom. This team, I think understands that there's not
- 9:20Speaker 4: as much pressure on each individual bat. You don't have
- 9:23Speaker 4: to come through because the dude behind you might, and
- 9:26Speaker 4: he doesn't have to come through because the guy behind
- 9:28Speaker 4: him might, and you might not for a couple of innings,
- 9:30Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, it might be Victor
- 9:33Speaker 4: Roebus that gets the spark going. And then then one
- 9:37Speaker 4: after another after another, and you're putting up a couple
- 9:38Speaker 4: of crooked numbers. That is a recipe for success with
- 9:42Speaker 4: his pitching staff because then they can pound the zone
- 9:44Speaker 4: and get ahead of guys. They don't have to worry
- 9:45Speaker 4: about one mistake costing them the game. And so, I mean,
- 9:49Speaker 4: I just feel like yesterday was the prime example of
- 9:51Speaker 4: you didn't have everybody contribute. As a matter of fact,
- 9:54Speaker 4: Julio Polonko, Naylor, your three four to five guys go
- 9:56Speaker 4: oh for fourteen. I mean I think Naylor Polanco ended
- 10:00Speaker 4: up having a walk in there, yeah, you know, and
- 10:03Speaker 4: there was a couple other good abs from those guys,
- 10:05Speaker 4: but for the most part they didn't contribute offensively, and
- 10:08Speaker 4: you still ended up putting up eight runs. So it
- 10:09Speaker 4: was it was a good team effort, I think, with
- 10:12Speaker 4: the exception of Ferguson, he had he had a not
- 10:15Speaker 4: so good game. Obviously, Yeah, it is what it is.
- 10:18Speaker 4: You're going to have that from time to time. But
- 10:20Speaker 4: to me, it just feels like this team kind of
- 10:22Speaker 4: gets the concept of we as a team are strong
- 10:25Speaker 4: enough to beat anybody. We've got nine outs or we
- 10:27Speaker 4: got nine innings, to go out there and prove that
- 10:30Speaker 4: we're better than they are on offense, defense, pitching, the
- 10:32Speaker 4: whole the whole gamut.
- 10:33Speaker 5: And yesterday they did exactly that.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and that first game you have two guys getting
- 10:37Speaker 2: all six of your hits in the game.
- 10:39Speaker 5: And then in the.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Second game, which was the vict which was the victory
- 10:42Speaker 2: at home, you had more contribution. Still only scored three runs,
- 10:46Speaker 2: but there were more guys chipping in. And then last night,
- 10:50Speaker 2: really the bottom of your order carried you. And I'll
- 10:53Speaker 2: include Suarez, the six hitter in the bottom of the
- 10:56Speaker 2: order in this upcoming stat because it makes the stat
- 10:58Speaker 2: look better. But you at you know, three times through
- 11:02Speaker 2: the lineup last night, when you built your six, six
- 11:06Speaker 2: to one lead heading into the latter innings, you add
- 11:10Speaker 2: your six through nine hitters, seven of twelve on base,
- 11:14Speaker 2: four of nine actually hitting the baseball, so four to
- 11:18Speaker 2: forty four, batting average well over five hundred on base,
- 11:22Speaker 2: two home runs, three runs batted in, and had scored
- 11:24Speaker 2: all five runs in the game. That's six, seven, eight,
- 11:27Speaker 2: and nine. They ended up adding another run scored later
- 11:30Speaker 2: and another RBI from JP Crawford later. But that's some
- 11:35Speaker 2: I must have said it eleven times on three different
- 11:37Speaker 2: shows yesterday as one a host and then two times
- 11:40Speaker 2: as a guess that I was anticipating not just some contributions,
- 11:44Speaker 2: but some damage from the bottom of the lineup, and
- 11:47Speaker 2: it pretty much carried the day yesterday for this team.
- 11:50Speaker 2: And that's a phenomenal sign.
- 11:53Speaker 6: Four.
- 11:54Speaker 2: As you mentioned a team that has had difficulty with
- 11:58Speaker 2: the bottom part of its order, we've I've never really
- 12:00Speaker 2: felt in the last four or five years that the
- 12:02Speaker 2: bottom part of our order is is something that you
- 12:07Speaker 2: can rely upon. This is how this team is built.
- 12:10Speaker 2: This team has depth one through nine for the first
- 12:13Speaker 2: time I think in the Jerry Depoto era, and you
- 12:16Speaker 2: can win with this lineup now, and it doesn't just
- 12:19Speaker 2: have to be a pitcher shutting down the opponent, mowing
- 12:23Speaker 2: down the opponent, even holding them to one run like
- 12:26Speaker 2: Logan did last night.
- 12:28Speaker 3: They can win a high scoring game as well.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And that's what I think ultimately makes the twenty twenty
- 12:33Speaker 2: five Mariners so much more dangerous than past examples.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and the idea of them being able to jump
- 12:39Speaker 4: out to a lead, like I said, is a nice
- 12:42Speaker 4: luxury for the starting pitchers to have. And I just
- 12:45Speaker 4: think the beauty of being able to not I mean,
- 12:48Speaker 4: we've talked about the inadequacies of the offense, and I've
- 12:51Speaker 4: always thought that a big part of why that happens
- 12:55Speaker 4: is when you're not winning ball games and you're not
- 12:57Speaker 4: scoring runs as a hitter, you automatically like, well, I
- 13:01Speaker 4: can carry it, you know, hop on my back, guys,
- 13:03Speaker 4: I got Well, that's too much pressure. I don't want
- 13:06Speaker 4: anybody going up there thinking I have to carry the
- 13:08Speaker 4: team offensively. I don't care if you have sixty one homers.
- 13:11Speaker 4: You don't go up there thinking I have to do
- 13:14Speaker 4: this for the team. Now, if it comes down to
- 13:16Speaker 4: late in the game, is tied up, yeah, you should
- 13:18Speaker 4: want to be the guy that'll come through and be
- 13:20Speaker 4: the hero. But you know, you interviewed Polonco down in
- 13:23Speaker 4: the clubhouse yesterday and he ended up saying, it's that's
- 13:27Speaker 4: the nice thing is that anybody can step up and
- 13:30Speaker 4: be the hero in any given day. And yesterday was
- 13:32Speaker 4: a prime example of a bunch of different people having
- 13:35Speaker 4: moments of heroism. I mean, he ended up having a
- 13:38Speaker 4: game where Flairy was kind of mowing guys down. He
- 13:42Speaker 4: went right through the lineup in the first inning. He
- 13:45Speaker 4: ends up in the second inning battling and having a walk.
- 13:47Speaker 4: And it wasn't necessarily this long eleven pitch ab it
- 13:50Speaker 4: was he swung out of the zone a couple of times,
- 13:53Speaker 4: and then he tightened it up and he didn't swing
- 13:55Speaker 4: it any more pitches out of the zone, and he
- 13:57Speaker 4: didn't throw many pitches in the zone. That's just a win,
- 14:00Speaker 4: and it's a small win, but it's kind of a
- 14:02Speaker 4: death by a thousand cuts. He does that, then all
- 14:04Speaker 4: of a sudden, you end up getting the good ab
- 14:06Speaker 4: by Robus, like I said, to kind of start that
- 14:09Speaker 4: inning and off, and then JP dumps that that single
- 14:12Speaker 4: in their boom. You get on the board, and then
- 14:14Speaker 4: it just kind of everything just felt good. Next time,
- 14:17Speaker 4: all of a sudden, Sworez comes out comes up hits
- 14:19Speaker 4: that home run, keeps extending the lead. It just was
- 14:21Speaker 4: one thing after another. Cow comes through, a lot of
- 14:23Speaker 4: people think he's kind of an all or nothing. Not
- 14:25Speaker 4: v he's hitting two forty five or whatever, the two
- 14:28Speaker 4: out RBI knock there to extend the lead, all of those,
- 14:31Speaker 4: it was just one after another kind of just keep
- 14:33Speaker 4: tacking on, tacking on runs and then just start chipping
- 14:36Speaker 4: away at the outs that they have remaining. It was
- 14:39Speaker 4: a really well played game for the most part. And again,
- 14:42Speaker 4: I think it just is one of those if you
- 14:43Speaker 4: go out and just do your job, you don't have
- 14:45Speaker 4: to do something special, Just go do your job, have
- 14:47Speaker 4: tough abs, have a good approach, and then play some
- 14:50Speaker 4: good defense. You're gonna find you're gonna be the better
- 14:53Speaker 4: team more often than not because you're designed well offensively
- 14:55Speaker 4: and pitching staff for works.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're gonna hear from Matt Brash a little
- 14:58Speaker 2: bit later on in the show, But there was this
- 15:02Speaker 2: moment last night, and it was when he pitched, and
- 15:07Speaker 2: it wasn't your typical Brash inning.
- 15:10Speaker 3: I mean, he three weak ground balls, no strikeouts.
- 15:13Speaker 5: What's wrong with you, Matt? Yeah?
- 15:15Speaker 2: Yeah, but three up, three down, And that was the
- 15:18Speaker 2: bottom of the seventh and I, you know, on social media,
- 15:20Speaker 2: it's getting ready to just tweet out, like, man, it
- 15:23Speaker 2: just got early quiet. And as I'm tweeting it out,
- 15:25Speaker 2: I look up and like Tiger fans are just leaving,
- 15:28Speaker 2: just you know, by the droves. They're just they are
- 15:31Speaker 2: leaving the ballyard. At that point, it was almost like
- 15:36Speaker 2: a confession of we're not as good as this team.
- 15:39Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 15:39Speaker 2: There was almost that city wide confession of yeah, I'm
- 15:44Speaker 2: glad we're here supporting our team. We got a pretty
- 15:46Speaker 2: good team, but we don't have that team because and
- 15:49Speaker 2: the game was a little bit lopsided at that point,
- 15:51Speaker 2: and they did try to fight back in the ninth inning.
- 15:53Speaker 3: They showed some fight, but they're there.
- 15:56Speaker 2: It was kind of symbolic for me and we're certainly
- 16:00Speaker 2: not on this show, not in the clubhouse, like putting
- 16:03Speaker 2: the feet up on the desk. I mean, it's playoff
- 16:05Speaker 2: time and getting that last win is going to be
- 16:07Speaker 2: a challenge in this series to advance. But there was
- 16:11Speaker 2: it really was kind of this moment of looking up, thinking, man,
- 16:15Speaker 2: this place got really quiet, like oh no, no, no, no, no,
- 16:17Speaker 2: they're not quiet.
- 16:18Speaker 3: They're gone. They are leaving the building after, you know, paying.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Such an amount of money to watch this game with
- 16:28Speaker 2: two at bats to go, and they're convinced that this
- 16:31Speaker 2: series is over.
- 16:32Speaker 3: That's how I read that.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean it's so you're up for Zip
- 16:36Speaker 4: and then they have that inning, was it? In the
- 16:38Speaker 4: fifth inning where hit by pitch, then a guy gets
- 16:41Speaker 4: second sacrifice, bunt him over and then you end up
- 16:45Speaker 4: getting that double playball that really they end up getting
- 16:49Speaker 4: the guy out, but neither kind of catches it in
- 16:51Speaker 4: the palm and when he goes to the ground, it
- 16:54Speaker 4: pops out of his glove, and so they get a
- 16:56Speaker 4: run out of it. That breathes a little life into
- 16:59Speaker 4: the Tigers. Okay, we're on the board. It's forty one.
- 17:02Speaker 4: That feels like a ballgame right there. The next inning
- 17:05Speaker 4: to first two guys get out and JP goes Yachtzi.
- 17:08Speaker 4: It's one of the man right when we start chipping
- 17:10Speaker 4: away at this lead, they just erase what we just
- 17:13Speaker 4: had done. That to me was and then Brash comes
- 17:16Speaker 4: in after that, I think, or maybe it was Bizarro.
- 17:18Speaker 4: After that inning but it was I think it was
- 17:20Speaker 4: bizarre to that inning and then brash the next.
- 17:22Speaker 3: No, it was brash first.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Oh, it was brash first. Okay, so it was.
- 17:25Speaker 4: It just ends up being one of those man, these
- 17:27Speaker 4: guys like even when we start to feel like we
- 17:30Speaker 4: maybe are gonna see some momentum, they end up kind
- 17:33Speaker 4: of snipering the momentum back. That's what it felt like yesterday,
- 17:35Speaker 4: just we answered anything that they came at us with.
- 17:38Speaker 4: And that's that's how you end up winning the ball game.
- 17:41Speaker 4: You you make your twenty seven outs worth more than theirs.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you end up winning the series, winning advance.
- 17:46Speaker 2: And so one more to go, one more a game
- 17:48Speaker 2: here in Detroit here tonight. Uh, there is a game
- 17:52Speaker 2: five scheduled for Friday back home, and as fun as
- 17:55Speaker 2: that would be, as electrifying as that atmosphere might be,
- 18:00Speaker 2: I want to avoid it.
- 18:01Speaker 3: I would like to.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Fly home Thursday after our show here in Detroit to
- 18:06Speaker 2: celebrate with our feet up on the desk at that point.
- 18:10Speaker 2: That that's that's how you know. I know Ashley's got
- 18:12Speaker 2: tickets to the game on Friday.
- 18:14Speaker 3: I don't go, don't go. Yeah, I'm really happy if
- 18:17Speaker 3: you don't go. Yeah, yeah, exactly if we if that,
- 18:21Speaker 3: if I don't get to go, because it means.
- 18:23Speaker 8: We want it in four I'm good.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I mean and then we'll get you
- 18:28Speaker 2: to an American League Championships.
- 18:30Speaker 3: All right, perfect, Yeah, sounds great. I'd rather go to that.
- 18:33Speaker 2: If you want to go out with five iron to
- 18:35Speaker 2: an ALCS game, we'll pay for it.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Okay? And two?
- 18:41Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's on tap for today's
- 18:45Speaker 2: Wednesday edition of Chuck and Buck.
- 18:50Speaker 8: What's on tip?
- 18:52Speaker 7: What's on tap? All right?
- 18:53Speaker 2: Mariners win a four over the Tigers take a two
- 18:56Speaker 2: to one series lead in this best of five divisional round,
- 18:59Speaker 2: and men Tink's been joining us all year long at
- 19:02Speaker 2: eight thirty on Wednesdays. She will certainly do it today.
- 19:06Speaker 2: So that's coming your way. Miller versus Mize. That is
- 19:09Speaker 2: the pitching matchup. So Bryce Miller will get the game
- 19:11Speaker 2: four start. Casey Miz, former number one overall pick in
- 19:15Speaker 2: the draft, will end up pitching for the Detroit Tigers
- 19:18Speaker 2: with their season on the line.
- 19:20Speaker 3: That is a noon.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Start back home, three o'clock start out here in Detroit.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Matt Brash, we mentioned him a couple of times this morning.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I did catch up with him in the clubhouse last
- 19:31Speaker 2: night after the game, had a really interesting conversation with him.
- 19:35Speaker 2: So we'll replay that for you at some point during
- 19:37Speaker 2: the show today, probably the nine o'clock hour, but I
- 19:40Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know when we're gonna play, but
- 19:41Speaker 2: you'll hear for Matt Brash today because I think it's
- 19:45Speaker 2: worth hearing some of the comments from him, So we'll
- 19:49Speaker 2: do that on the program.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Yankees rallied from a six to one deficit.
- 19:52Speaker 2: And this is where you know you can't take anything
- 19:55Speaker 2: for granted, because it looked at one point like the
- 19:57Speaker 2: New York Yankees were dead in the water against the
- 20:00Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays last night. They were trailing six to one,
- 20:03Speaker 2: and damn if they didn't come all the way back
- 20:05Speaker 2: and win that thing nine to six. So their season
- 20:07Speaker 2: remains alive and they will play game number four tonight
- 20:11Speaker 2: at four o'clock there at Yankee Stadium. National League also
- 20:15Speaker 2: in action today, So you got four games today in
- 20:18Speaker 2: the Divisional round of the playoffs. You got the Brewers
- 20:21Speaker 2: at the Cubs at two pm. You've got the Phillies
- 20:24Speaker 2: at the Dodgers at six pm. Phillies and Cubs trailing
- 20:29Speaker 2: two in that series. It's hump day, so we turned
- 20:32Speaker 2: the page on the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- 20:35Speaker 2: and start really isolating on the next game, and that's
- 20:38Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars in Jacksonville this Sunday.
- 20:42Speaker 3: We will hear from Greg Bell today at seven oh five.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Husky's host Rutgers Friday Night, Cam Cleland drops by every Wednesday,
- 20:49Speaker 2: so we'll hear from the huss Former Husky tied end
- 20:52Speaker 2: at eight o'clock this morning. NHL's Opening Night featured three games,
- 20:57Speaker 2: Florida over Chicago three two, Pittsburgh over the Rainers three nothing,
- 21:01Speaker 2: and Colorado won late last night four to one over
- 21:04Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Kings. Of course, we're focused on the
- 21:07Speaker 2: Krakens Opener, which will take place this Thursday at home
- 21:11Speaker 2: against Anaheim, and we will talk for the first time
- 21:14Speaker 2: officially this hockey season with our friend Al Koniski today
- 21:18Speaker 2: at nine thirty. But mostly today's show is about the Mariners.
- 21:22Speaker 2: We are broadcasting from Detroit thanks to snow Qualmi Casino,
- 21:26Speaker 2: Seattle's closest sportsbook. Coming up on the other side, Mariners
- 21:31Speaker 2: Morning After Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 21:38Speaker 9: Reta on the ground back up the middle of the
- 21:40Speaker 9: center field of pace. Hit Crawford speeding around third, he
- 21:43Speaker 9: will score. Randy eros Arena has his first RBI the postseason,
- 21:48Speaker 9: and it's two nothing cl He swings and sends one
- 21:51Speaker 9: out towards deep left field. This one's way back there
- 21:54Speaker 9: at Auo Haino. Suarez returns to Detroit with a bang.
- 21:58Speaker 9: It's three nothing CLA.
- 22:01Speaker 3: He's gonna go to Montero, but it's five to one.
- 22:03Speaker 9: Crawford sends a fly ball out towards right field. That
- 22:06Speaker 9: one's way back and gone.
- 22:09Speaker 5: JP.
- 22:10Speaker 9: Crawford right on cue delivers. He sends one the other way,
- 22:15Speaker 9: well struck ball deep left field and gone. Brawley's first
- 22:21Speaker 9: of the playoffs, and it's eight to one Seattle.
- 22:24Speaker 3: They are feeling it.
- 22:28Speaker 9: Down the right field line.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Naylor makes the.
- 22:30Speaker 9: Catch, doubles it off, and then's the ball game. Josh
- 22:37Speaker 9: Naylor on a frozen roof, snared it stepped on the
- 22:41Speaker 9: back and finishes off. Game three and the Mariners are
- 22:45Speaker 9: one step away from the LCS.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Box Sports on.
- 22:50Speaker 2: The call last night, as the Mariners do win eight
- 22:54Speaker 2: to four over the Detroit Tigers, at Camerica Park. It's
- 22:57Speaker 2: Chuck Powel, Bucky Jacobson.
- 22:59Speaker 3: We are all on the road.
- 23:01Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from Detroit, Michigan. We will be
- 23:04Speaker 2: again tomorrow morning and hopefully talking about an Alds victory.
- 23:09Speaker 2: The Mariners do have a chance to take the series
- 23:12Speaker 2: this afternoon here in Detroit with a victory. They got
- 23:16Speaker 2: two bites at the Apple. If they need to, they
- 23:19Speaker 2: can close it out at home Friday back there in Seattle.
- 23:23Speaker 3: But let's get this thing done tonight.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I think is sort of the mentality that the entire organization,
- 23:30Speaker 2: and I think all of the state of Washington has
- 23:33Speaker 2: as we enter this Wednesday. So welcome into the program.
- 23:36Speaker 2: We roll into our seven o'clock hour here on a
- 23:38Speaker 2: hump day. Mariners eight to four winners last night. The
- 23:42Speaker 2: pitching matchup this evening will be Bryce Miller for US,
- 23:45Speaker 2: Casey Mize going for the Tigers. Start is at noon
- 23:50Speaker 2: Seattle time, three o'clock out here in Detroit, Michigan, and
- 23:54Speaker 2: an opportunity, as I mentioned, to close things out. Josh
- 23:58Speaker 2: Naylor still is not hitting, but he was at least
- 24:01Speaker 2: in the lineup last night.
- 24:03Speaker 3: There was a lot of question about that. Josh Naylor
- 24:05Speaker 3: has made it very well known.
- 24:08Speaker 2: That I don't like my personal affairs to be mentioned anywhere,
- 24:13Speaker 2: so he has controlled the narrative when it comes to
- 24:17Speaker 2: his first child's birth. But he did at least admit
- 24:21Speaker 2: last night that all is good that they did have
- 24:25Speaker 2: a baby. Mister and missus Naylor had their first baby
- 24:27Speaker 2: last night.
- 24:28Speaker 3: And he wouldn't really mention anything else.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I think there was a bit of a gender reveal though,
- 24:33Speaker 2: last night by his belt choice.
- 24:35Speaker 3: Because that thing was special. That thing was it.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Was blue, and it was sparkly, and it was and
- 24:42Speaker 2: it said nails on it.
- 24:43Speaker 3: I mean, that was something else right there. That was
- 24:46Speaker 3: like a beauty pageant.
- 24:48Speaker 4: I don't wholeheartedly understand the dazzled belt thing.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Now, don't get me wrong. I've had jeans.
- 24:56Speaker 4: I've had some jeans that had some bedazzles on the
- 24:58Speaker 4: on the back pock right, oh wow. And I got
- 25:01Speaker 4: made fun by my friends a lot. And now yet
- 25:05Speaker 4: I just the bedazzled belt drawing attention to my waistline.
- 25:10Speaker 4: But he, the dude just got flair. He's got a
- 25:12Speaker 4: swagger about him. And that belt was I mean, it
- 25:15Speaker 4: was arc goldie.
- 25:16Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen anybody as gritty
- 25:19Speaker 2: and also as fashion.
- 25:23Speaker 3: As what Josh Naylor is. It's a rare combination. The
- 25:28Speaker 3: rest of your headlines just quickly because we got to.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Get Greg Bell in here, and we're already a couple
- 25:33Speaker 2: of minutes late to his segment. The Huskies will host
- 25:36Speaker 2: Rutgers Friday night. Cam Cleveland will join us today at
- 25:39Speaker 2: eight o'clock NHL's opening night. Last night, three games took place,
- 25:44Speaker 2: but the Kraken won't start until Thursday at home against
- 25:47Speaker 2: the Anaheim Ducks. We'll talk to al Kiniski for the
- 25:50Speaker 2: first time today at nine thirty. And of course it
- 25:52Speaker 2: is hump Day, so I don't even know what happens
- 25:55Speaker 2: Sunday to the Seahawks because I think about the next
- 25:57Speaker 2: game starting on Wednesday, and that's in Jacksonville against the
- 26:01Speaker 2: Jaguars and joining us now our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell,
- 26:04Speaker 2: What do you think we're gonna close this thing out
- 26:05Speaker 2: here tonight?
- 26:06Speaker 6: I think, yeah, I think Bryce Miller does it.
- 26:09Speaker 7: I do.
- 26:11Speaker 6: It's a schools would be a tougher proposition in one
- 26:16Speaker 6: whether or not face I would.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Think, yeah, why didn't you warn us that Detroit was
- 26:21Speaker 3: so hospitable. They've been very kind to us since we've
- 26:24Speaker 3: been here. He didn't tell me about that. And all
- 26:26Speaker 3: your travels, all your worldly travels bell the.
- 26:29Speaker 6: Midwest people, man, there's some you know that Illinois. Man,
- 26:33Speaker 6: it's a different it's different there. It's yeah, my mother
- 26:37Speaker 6: lives there, my sister lives there, and spend a lot
- 26:40Speaker 6: of time in Detroit and always have a great time.
- 26:42Speaker 6: I'm glad to turn you out as it should.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Yeah, they're treating us well up here. All right, Well,
- 26:46Speaker 3: let's dive into it.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Of course, coming off a tough loss on Sunday and
- 26:52Speaker 2: now suddenly a Jacksonville team that is playing much better
- 26:57Speaker 2: than what people believed they were going to be there
- 27:00Speaker 2: this year. A four and one football team that's gonna
- 27:02Speaker 2: host us host the Seahawks on Sunday. So Jacksonville just
- 27:08Speaker 2: a different entity than maybe we thought we were up
- 27:11Speaker 2: against five weeks ago.
- 27:14Speaker 6: Yeah, four and one. They beat the Chiefs the other night,
- 27:17Speaker 6: came from behind to do it. They've beaten the forty
- 27:19Speaker 6: nine ers on the road. The Seahawks haven't done very
- 27:23Speaker 6: much in the last decade. They've also beaten Carolina and Houston.
- 27:27Speaker 6: Their only loss was to the Joe Burrow Bengals before
- 27:30Speaker 6: Burrow got hurt thirty one. It was thirty one twenty seven.
- 27:33Speaker 6: I think they lost in Cincinnati. I certainly lost. The
- 27:36Speaker 6: biggest thing that stands out to the knee about the
- 27:39Speaker 6: Jaguars their defense. They have ten interceptions and four fumble
- 27:43Speaker 6: recoveries in five games. That's fourteen turnovers they produced in
- 27:48Speaker 6: five games. You're gonna win a lot of games doing that.
- 27:51Speaker 6: They had Brock Purdy turning the ball over in Santa
- 27:54Speaker 6: Clara a couple of weeks ago. That's the most startling
- 27:58Speaker 6: thing about this team. Trevor Lawrence is still not what
- 28:03Speaker 6: they drafted him to be. He's six touchdowns in five
- 28:06Speaker 6: interceptions so far this season. He's barely a sixty percent passer.
- 28:11Speaker 6: His passer ratings are in the seventies. He's not. It's
- 28:15Speaker 6: their defense so far. If Travis NTN is their lead
- 28:19Speaker 6: running back, but the defense is what the Seahawks attention.
- 28:24Speaker 6: I mean, if you're producing that many turnovers, you're gonna
- 28:29Speaker 6: win games. And that'll that is an equalizer and that
- 28:33Speaker 6: is probably number one on the Seahawks dive and the
- 28:36Speaker 6: Jaguars and how they're doing that.
- 28:38Speaker 4: Well how do you figure the Seahawks got to match
- 28:41Speaker 4: up with it. Obviously the key would be, well, don't
- 28:43Speaker 4: turn the ball over to them. But okay, if they're
- 28:46Speaker 4: really good at finding ways to do it, whether it's
- 28:49Speaker 4: disguises or just super athletic guys making plays, I mean,
- 28:53Speaker 4: how do you combat that with trying to make Trevor
- 28:56Speaker 4: Lawrence make some mistakes, because, like you said, he still
- 28:59Speaker 4: is prone to do that.
- 29:00Speaker 6: Well, it's to say, well, I think you could just
- 29:04Speaker 6: cut and pace. You've probably saved the time and not
- 29:06Speaker 6: call me when you asked me what the Kiwi game is.
- 29:08Speaker 6: Just replay a tape from the last two years. Run
- 29:11Speaker 6: the ball and that's how that's the best of Sam Darnold,
- 29:17Speaker 6: and that's how this team has been designed, is to
- 29:20Speaker 6: keep the ball away from offenses, run field position, control,
- 29:24Speaker 6: the clock control. That's how they want to play. They've
- 29:28Speaker 6: rarely played that way. Right, Pittsburgh in Week two is
- 29:31Speaker 6: the only game that you can really say the running
- 29:33Speaker 6: game dictated. And that didn't happen till the second half
- 29:36Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh. The yardage numbers in the game the other
- 29:41Speaker 6: day in Tampa Bay game showed that they ran one
- 29:45Speaker 6: hundred and twenty two yards total, But you didn't feel
- 29:47Speaker 6: that the running game was dictating field position, time possession,
- 29:52Speaker 6: keeping the ball away from Tampa Bay, who's still gained
- 29:54Speaker 6: four and twenty five yards and Mayfield stiffer for three
- 29:58Speaker 6: seventy five and for four touchdowns. So they've really yet
- 30:01Speaker 6: to play a full game offensively how they're designed to.
- 30:04Speaker 6: I don't know what's coming because they are still running
- 30:06Speaker 6: the ball and whether they're producing yards or not. Koviak
- 30:10Speaker 6: has shown time and again he's gonna run. He's gonna
- 30:12Speaker 6: run his head and then bang it into the wall
- 30:15Speaker 6: if they have to keep running. But to me, that
- 30:18Speaker 6: would be the way to mitigate your risk of turning
- 30:22Speaker 6: the ball over. Of course, you could still lose fumbles,
- 30:24Speaker 6: and they've done that too, But it bears repeating that
- 30:29Speaker 6: if Sam Darnold holds onto the ball and does not
- 30:32Speaker 6: turn the ball over in the final minutes of two games,
- 30:34Speaker 6: they could be five and oh. A lot of NFL
- 30:36Speaker 6: teams could say that, but that's how important turnovers are,
- 30:40Speaker 6: and turnovers at the quarterback position in particular.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Hi Seahawks.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Inside of Greg Bell joining us here on the radio program,
- 30:47Speaker 2: of course, you can follow them at G bel Seattle
- 30:49Speaker 2: on x and thenews Tribune dot com for complete comprehensive
- 30:52Speaker 2: coverage of your Seattle Seahawks all year long. They take
- 30:55Speaker 2: on the Jaguars this Sunday. We don't have a defense problem,
- 31:00Speaker 2: do we? I mean, this seems like a ridiculous question
- 31:02Speaker 2: to ask of a Mike McDonald team, But my Baker
- 31:06Speaker 2: Mayfield had way too much time to throw and too
- 31:09Speaker 2: easy a time to score thirty eight points against the
- 31:13Speaker 2: Seahawks on Sunday. So I mean, what's Mike McDonald's doing
- 31:17Speaker 2: to scramble and make sure that that was an outlier,
- 31:21Speaker 2: a fluke, and not something that could be repeated.
- 31:24Speaker 6: I think they do have a defense problem, and it's
- 31:26Speaker 6: one we've talked about since the beginning of the season,
- 31:29Speaker 6: is tackling, especially in the secondary. But they got exposed
- 31:34Speaker 6: even more than that in the front against Tampa Bay
- 31:37Speaker 6: and their mistackling. Everyone on the team pretty much had
- 31:39Speaker 6: mistackles at some point in the game, and McDonald said
- 31:42Speaker 6: they're going back to the drawing board on Monday. He
- 31:45Speaker 6: said they are going to reevaluate how they're coaching and
- 31:48Speaker 6: drilling tackling. He doesn't use it as an excuse that
- 31:51Speaker 6: they can't go pads, but for fourteen practices of the
- 31:54Speaker 6: entire regular season by CBA rule he doesn't make. He
- 31:58Speaker 6: doesn't think it's an excuse that you can't you don't
- 32:00Speaker 6: bring guys to ground because of injury concerns. You said,
- 32:03Speaker 6: everybody else is playing by the same rules too. They
- 32:06Speaker 6: drill it a lot, They talk about it a lot.
- 32:07Speaker 6: They have form tackling drills that they tailor buy defensive position,
- 32:12Speaker 6: depending if you're an open field secondary guy, you have
- 32:15Speaker 6: different open field tackling drills than say a defensive lineman does.
- 32:19Speaker 6: They do spend a lot of time on him. McDonald's
- 32:21Speaker 6: point was, we are not getting the results for as
- 32:23Speaker 6: much as effort and investment of time and just strategizing
- 32:29Speaker 6: how are we going to tackle, they're not getting the
- 32:31Speaker 6: results for all they're putting into it. So he said,
- 32:33Speaker 6: they are reevaluating that, and they've got to do it
- 32:35Speaker 6: on the fly here before they leave for Florida on Friday.
- 32:39Speaker 6: It's a problem in the NFL off and early in seasons.
- 32:43Speaker 6: We've talked about that from not doing it in training camp.
- 32:46Speaker 6: But when it's now October and you're still having those problems,
- 32:49Speaker 6: I'd say they do have a problem on defense if
- 32:51Speaker 6: you can't tackle in the NFL. Now, the ball is
- 32:54Speaker 6: the game in the past, game is get the ball
- 32:56Speaker 6: all quick, mitigate pass rush. Okay, So if you're going
- 32:58Speaker 6: to not get to the quarterback because the quarterbacks getting
- 33:00Speaker 6: rid of it in less than two seconds and they're
- 33:03Speaker 6: throwing four yard passes, that means that there is you
- 33:07Speaker 6: got to tackle the guy or that four yard pass
- 33:09Speaker 6: becomes ten, twelve, fifteen yards. And that's what happened with
- 33:12Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield getting three hundred and seventy five yards.
- 33:15Speaker 7: The other day.
- 33:16Speaker 6: Now, there were a lot of passes down the field, yes,
- 33:18Speaker 6: but if you're not tackling dudes when they're getting the
- 33:20Speaker 6: ball out quick, then they might as well be fifteen
- 33:23Speaker 6: and twenty yard passes because that's what the games are anyway.
- 33:25Speaker 6: And that's what happened on Sunday. That's we've talked about
- 33:29Speaker 6: this more than just in that game, the tackling issue
- 33:31Speaker 6: they've had.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I agree, the tackling. You can't allow
- 33:36Speaker 4: them to just do the little short pitching catch for
- 33:38Speaker 4: five yards and then run for ten more. That's not
- 33:41Speaker 4: going to work out in the long run. But I mean,
- 33:43Speaker 4: is there anything that needs to change. Is it the
- 33:46Speaker 4: pass rush that needs to get there quicker or do
- 33:48Speaker 4: they need to tighten up the coverage because the fact
- 33:51Speaker 4: that he completes twenty nine out of thirty three passes
- 33:54Speaker 4: is beyond tackling, right, I mean tackling. You've got to
- 33:57Speaker 4: do something there where it's not three hundred and seventy
- 33:59Speaker 4: nine yards of passing in a couple of touchdowns. But
- 34:02Speaker 4: I mean, what about just not allowing him to complete
- 34:05Speaker 4: passes at an eighty or ninety percent clip.
- 34:07Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the first game they didn't get any
- 34:10Speaker 6: pressure and they didn't touch Mayfield until eight minutes left
- 34:13Speaker 6: in the game. The safety blitz by the Anthony Bell
- 34:16Speaker 6: was not only the first sect but the first hit
- 34:18Speaker 6: on the quarterback with eight minutes left in the game. Yeah,
- 34:21Speaker 6: you're gonna give up tons of yards and completions if
- 34:24Speaker 6: you do that in this league. But before that, and
- 34:27Speaker 6: actually he could go back to before five point fifty
- 34:29Speaker 6: left in the game. In Arizona, they were the best
- 34:33Speaker 6: pressure rate team in the league eighty plus percent at
- 34:35Speaker 6: the time, and they were using formed down linemen and
- 34:39Speaker 6: they were getting forty plus percent pressure rates, which is
- 34:42Speaker 6: like when you blitz all the time, usually get presser
- 34:45Speaker 6: rates like that, and they weren't blitzing, so he tried
- 34:47Speaker 6: blitzing more as the game went on against Tampa, but
- 34:50Speaker 6: his blitzers were depleted. Derek Hall was injured, Devin Weisman
- 34:55Speaker 6: wasn't playing, Julian Love wasn't playing, so they had Tyle
- 34:59Speaker 6: Ktta blitzing, and Tyo Kotta was just running into the
- 35:02Speaker 6: line and getting swallowed by three hundred pound lineman. It
- 35:05Speaker 6: was a useless endeavor to blitz tyle Katta and that
- 35:08Speaker 6: seemed to be who he wanted to blitz because he
- 35:10Speaker 6: was afraid of using his corners to blitz because he
- 35:13Speaker 6: didn't want to give up the few cover guys he
- 35:15Speaker 6: had left. Devin Witherspoon may play, he's not practicing yet
- 35:20Speaker 6: and we'll see how this week goes through him, and
- 35:23Speaker 6: same with Julian Love. If those two guys come back,
- 35:26Speaker 6: those are two of your primary blitzers out of the
- 35:28Speaker 6: secondary and now he has more options in coverage in
- 35:32Speaker 6: and blitzing. But you can bet that he's coming up
- 35:35Speaker 6: with a different plan this week against Trevor Lawrence to
- 35:37Speaker 6: get more pressure than he did on Baker Mayfield.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Last thing today. Let's jump to the offensive side of
- 35:44Speaker 3: the ball for an offensive question.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Is it time to just scrap the Jalen Milroe package idea.
- 35:50Speaker 2: I mean, they're zero for three in trying to use
- 35:53Speaker 2: it in games. Maybe he's not quite ready for that.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Maybe they don't get enough time to practice it. Are
- 35:59Speaker 2: they thinking about tabling it for a while, or what's
- 36:04Speaker 2: the situation with that?
- 36:06Speaker 7: Well?
- 36:06Speaker 6: I intended to ask more about that today when I
- 36:08Speaker 6: got out there, but I would say it's not fair
- 36:11Speaker 6: to to Milroe to put him in for one play
- 36:14Speaker 6: in three of the five games. I mean, it's like
- 36:17Speaker 6: not even cameos. It's like lightning strike. Oh here he is,
- 36:21Speaker 6: and I was gone. Kenneth Walker told me after the
- 36:24Speaker 6: game that they had practiced that pitch option play quite
- 36:27Speaker 6: a bit and that it just didn't execute it as
- 36:31Speaker 6: we had practiced it. But it doesn't appear that practicing
- 36:34Speaker 6: is the issue.
- 36:36Speaker 7: To me.
- 36:36Speaker 6: It's the issue of doing it more than once. And
- 36:39Speaker 6: so far, the three times they've done it, it's all
- 36:41Speaker 6: been on runs. So you can stack the box and
- 36:45Speaker 6: crowd the line and bring everybody off the edge and
- 36:47Speaker 6: run blitz and pretty much be assured so far that
- 36:50Speaker 6: Milroe is only going to run the ball, and they
- 36:53Speaker 6: haven't shown that they trust him to pass the ball
- 36:55Speaker 6: in the game, so it's not like there's a huge secret.
- 36:57Speaker 6: What's going to happen when number six comes in. Gonna
- 37:00Speaker 6: run something either up the middle, around the end. That's
- 37:02Speaker 6: what they've done. I don't think it's fair to say
- 37:05Speaker 6: Milroe is not ready when he's only had three opportunities
- 37:08Speaker 6: in five games. If they're gonna do it, it needs
- 37:11Speaker 6: to be more than once. If they're not going to
- 37:13Speaker 6: do it, then it means to be zero. But this
- 37:15Speaker 6: half in, half out thing is just wasting everybody's time
- 37:19Speaker 6: and it's wasting downs and to me, they haven't fully committed,
- 37:25Speaker 6: not even halfway committed to it yet to make it work.
- 37:28Speaker 2: All right, Greg, thank you Sarah for joining us, So
- 37:30Speaker 2: we do appreciate it. We're kind of in the midst
- 37:33Speaker 2: of we got baseball up to our elbows.
- 37:35Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand.
- 37:36Speaker 6: Yeah, enjoyed destrois okay? Are you downtown?
- 37:41Speaker 10: Uh?
- 37:41Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah.
- 37:42Speaker 2: We are actually really conveniently located to the Irheart studios
- 37:46Speaker 2: and of the ballpark, So it's been it's been a
- 37:48Speaker 2: lot of fun.
- 37:50Speaker 6: When I was doing when Monday night games and then
- 37:52Speaker 6: do a Tuesday show from there. I was doing some
- 37:54Speaker 6: studio in the suburbs. I'm guid your downtown. Yeah, I
- 37:58Speaker 6: think they're gonna do it today. It would really behoove
- 38:01Speaker 6: them to give a couple of days off to their closer.
- 38:04Speaker 6: Doesn't need to pitch too many more times. It's too
- 38:07Speaker 6: bad they can't rely on more than three relievers at
- 38:09Speaker 6: this point, but so be it never works, right, Yeah.
- 38:12Speaker 3: All right, Greg, thank you. We'll talk to you Friday.
- 38:15Speaker 3: I think I think that's how the game is.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider, joining us
- 38:20Speaker 2: right here on chuckin Buck in the morning. Of course,
- 38:23Speaker 2: follow Greg at gmail, Seattle there on x and at

- 38:42Speaker 3: Why from Detroit, your.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Own for Husky Football probably presents our weekly visit with

- 39:02Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Oh Caam Cleveland played football too. I thought he was
- 39:11Speaker 3: just like a slugging baseball Yeah.
- 39:12Speaker 5: I think he ended up making a career of that
- 39:15Speaker 5: rightball thing.
- 39:16Speaker 3: He wandered over to that.
- 39:18Speaker 4: Maybe not the maybe not the smartest decision, because he
- 39:21Speaker 4: was really good at baseball.
- 39:22Speaker 3: Good at baseball. Yeah, that's a that's.
- 39:24Speaker 5: A better sport.
- 39:25Speaker 3: That's how I knew him, baseball player, Cam Cleveland.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Eight o'clock hour. Here it is Chuck and Buck. We
- 39:30Speaker 2: are live from Detroit, Michigan.

- 39:59Speaker 2: MS to get to joining us every Wednesday. Former Husky
- 40:02Speaker 2: tied end and the current color analyst of Husky's Football.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Right here on the flagship of Husky's Football Sports Radio
- 40:08Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM, Cam Cleveland is with us.
- 40:12Speaker 10: Good morning, sir, gentlemen, early for you. And by the way,
- 40:17Speaker 10: baseball's on her mind. I mean we want to talk football,
- 40:19Speaker 10: but I mean baseball is just on her mind. I mean,
- 40:22Speaker 10: if you admit's not, you're just not a true sportsman
- 40:26Speaker 10: right now.
- 40:26Speaker 7: You just aren't.
- 40:27Speaker 10: It's just built into I was a little nervous bit
- 40:30Speaker 10: my nails a little bit in the night innings. Good
- 40:33Speaker 10: to see on that double play after JP bounced it
- 40:35Speaker 10: and then went yatzi on his next AB. So I'm
- 40:38Speaker 10: feeling good of one more boys, just one more and more.
- 40:41Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, win in advance. That's what it's all about.
- 40:44Speaker 3: When in advance? Did you play baseball at UDUB?
- 40:47Speaker 2: I mean, I know we were joking about it at
- 40:49Speaker 2: the top, but I know you were a baseball player.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Did you played at U DUB?
- 40:53Speaker 10: Right, I played three years of baseball. Lawyer Milloy and
- 40:56Speaker 10: I were teammates. Who were the last two. I was
- 40:58Speaker 10: a first base in fielder and doubled up, played in
- 41:02Speaker 10: a practice once and then went out to spring and
- 41:05Speaker 10: then played in the second half of a double header
- 41:07Speaker 10: after practicing football. So it's it was a little different.
- 41:10Speaker 10: I don't know very many people they can do that now.
- 41:12Speaker 10: I don't even know they let them do that nowadays.
- 41:14Speaker 7: It's very rare.
- 41:15Speaker 3: But you were the first basically, yeah, pretty much, yeah,
- 41:19Speaker 3: exactly right.
- 41:21Speaker 5: Some people compare you to and Bow I think more so.
- 41:25Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 41:26Speaker 10: I mean, just big, big, redheaded gingers at first base.
- 41:28Speaker 7: I mean, come on, but you know what I'm talking about, right,
- 41:31Speaker 7: I'm scrap.
- 41:32Speaker 3: You want to take it the other way, you know, scrap.
- 41:37Speaker 10: With the best of them. Dude, don't throw me an
- 41:38Speaker 10: outside pitch. It's gone, see you don't, I mean, don't
- 41:41Speaker 10: hang it there.
- 41:42Speaker 7: It's not happens.
- 41:44Speaker 4: And all right, so you were going yard apo, you
- 41:47Speaker 4: were just trying to slap it through the forehole right.
- 41:50Speaker 7: Like the whole all all Fields.
- 41:53Speaker 10: My friends still had the Little league home run record
- 41:55Speaker 10: back in my hometown All Fields All.
- 41:58Speaker 5: Fields because you got to go to you when you're ten.
- 42:02Speaker 7: Well, that's not fair.
- 42:03Speaker 10: I was a five to eleven hundred and sixty five
- 42:05Speaker 10: pounds twelve year old it's say, I mean, make any
- 42:07Speaker 10: sense exactly.
- 42:12Speaker 3: I wasn't too far off by the way, of course
- 42:14Speaker 3: you kept growing.
- 42:15Speaker 5: I didn't.
- 42:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh you're the early kid.
- 42:19Speaker 10: Oh you're early kid with armpit hair, and everyone's going
- 42:22Speaker 10: with kids. He's scary. Yeah, I know what you mean.
- 42:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and nobody and my dad wasn't bright enough to
- 42:28Speaker 3: figure out that that's why I was dominating. Yeah, so
- 42:32Speaker 3: we didn't work as hard as we should have at
- 42:34Speaker 3: twelve years old with a beard.
- 42:37Speaker 10: But anyway, my last tip, you want the secret to
- 42:40Speaker 10: be in a great hitter, play wiffleball kids. It's all
- 42:43Speaker 10: we did. Whiffleball's why it makes you be a great hitter.
- 42:46Speaker 10: Don't sit in the cage and hit it. Play with football,
- 42:48Speaker 10: see one of the great. All right, let's go to football.
- 42:50Speaker 3: I'm with you, let's go to football. Where were you
- 42:54Speaker 3: third quarter?
- 42:55Speaker 2: Where was your mind at watching the Huskies looking like
- 43:00Speaker 2: they were on the road to winning by double digit points,
- 43:04Speaker 2: are losing by double digit points to the Maryland Terrapins.
- 43:07Speaker 2: So where was your head at as you were describing
- 43:10Speaker 2: the action Saturday third quarter?
- 43:12Speaker 3: Trailing?
- 43:14Speaker 10: Well, I was as I'm watching the game. I'm going okay,
- 43:17Speaker 10: We're at six quarters without scoring a touchdown, six straight quarters.
- 43:20Speaker 10: Now we're heading into seven straight quarters without scoring a touchdown,
- 43:24Speaker 10: And I'm watching demand and I'm waiting for him to
- 43:28Speaker 10: get that that moment or that throw or a play
- 43:31Speaker 10: that changed his whole brain, or or there was a
- 43:33Speaker 10: jumpstart to something, waiting for it to be able to see.
- 43:37Speaker 10: Because I take this as well. What I believe in
- 43:42Speaker 10: is that you are who you are. Your full identity
- 43:44Speaker 10: is how you play football on the road, it really is,
- 43:47Speaker 10: because you're you're out of your comfort zone and things
- 43:50Speaker 10: needed to adjust, and you had a great game at
- 43:53Speaker 10: Washington State, but this was a real road trip. And
- 43:55Speaker 10: then all of a sudden, he made and I posted
- 43:58Speaker 10: it on my ex but he made a throw to
- 44:00Speaker 10: Fines Bright on a third down conversion.
- 44:03Speaker 7: And you heard when we.
- 44:05Speaker 10: Talked to coach Fish at the end of the game,
- 44:09Speaker 10: he mentioned how it felt like Jamon had a little
- 44:11Speaker 10: bit of nervousness after that first interception early on the
- 44:15Speaker 10: first drive, and the throws were tentative, they were off
- 44:19Speaker 10: to Denzel, they didn't stand bounds, and the defense was
- 44:22Speaker 10: holding in. I mean, I know you're giving up a
- 44:24Speaker 10: few points, but they're not scoring touchdown touch they're not
- 44:27Speaker 10: up at that point, but yeah, they're up twenty to
- 44:30Speaker 10: enough and you're going, where's that first throw that gets
- 44:33Speaker 10: the elevation? And then suddenly it was there, and I
- 44:36Speaker 10: want to tell you a light bulb moment happened. He
- 44:39Speaker 10: stopped trying to be a pocket guy and got out
- 44:42Speaker 10: of there and changed it with his feet. I don't
- 44:46Speaker 10: know if it was uncertain. I'm not going to question
- 44:48Speaker 10: on how the play calls. That's not my job. All
- 44:51Speaker 10: I wanted to do was see a kid play with confidence.
- 44:54Speaker 10: And everybody feeds off number two. That entire program feeds
- 44:58Speaker 10: off number two. He changed the whole rhythm of the
- 45:02Speaker 10: football game.
- 45:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but obviously down twenty zip. You know,
- 45:07Speaker 4: after that first touchdown in the third.
- 45:09Speaker 5: Was was one.
- 45:10Speaker 4: I was getting ready to go into the Mariner game
- 45:12Speaker 4: and I'm watching it at a bar, and I think everybody,
- 45:16Speaker 4: Husky fans say what is going on here? The field
- 45:19Speaker 4: goal didn't necessarily make I think most people feel better,
- 45:22Speaker 4: but that that first touchdown in the fourth quarter, all
- 45:25Speaker 4: of a sudden twenty ten You're like, okay, just keep
- 45:27Speaker 4: this up. Defense, start doing what they are, continue doing
- 45:30Speaker 4: what they have been doing and they getting three and
- 45:32Speaker 4: outs and everything was going to go. So why was it,
- 45:35Speaker 4: do you think? I mean, I know you don't want
- 45:36Speaker 4: to get into questioning play calls, but why was it?
- 45:38Speaker 4: Did he look like he was just trying to not
- 45:41Speaker 4: run Like there's been times I thought he maybe shouldn't
- 45:44Speaker 4: run as much as self preservation wise. But you can't be,
- 45:47Speaker 4: you know, losing twenty to zip and then think I'm
- 45:49Speaker 4: gonna just keep doing this pocket passer thing and neglect
- 45:52Speaker 4: or just kind of turn a blind eye to how
- 45:55Speaker 4: well he can run the ball.
- 45:57Speaker 10: I think there is a little bit of and this
- 45:59Speaker 10: is fair, okay, this is just in my opinion, but
- 46:01Speaker 10: I think there's a little bit of demand. You have talent,
- 46:04Speaker 10: you got to get them the football. You don't have
- 46:06Speaker 10: to do everything on your own mindset sometimes. But you
- 46:11Speaker 10: have Jonah Coleman, you have great wide receivers, you have
- 46:15Speaker 10: two young freshmen, and you found a way to throw
- 46:17Speaker 10: an absolute dart on the on the move getting out
- 46:20Speaker 10: of the pocket. By the way, when we saying out
- 46:21Speaker 10: in the pocket, I don't want everyone to sit there
- 46:25Speaker 10: and expect a five to ten kid to be an
- 46:28Speaker 10: elite pocket passer. Okay, that's visual. Let's let's just state
- 46:32Speaker 10: the obvious. It is very difficult to see in the
- 46:35Speaker 10: pocket at that height. You have to slide and find lanes.
- 46:39Speaker 10: I'm not saying it can't be done. Doug flute Milka,
- 46:42Speaker 10: it's not. It's an unfair comparison to say, Doug fluteie.
- 46:45Speaker 10: But when we think about great quarterbacks, jin is a
- 46:48Speaker 10: real thing. Your linemen are six seven six' five six
- 46:52Speaker 10: three six. Five it's it's a real. Issue and so
- 46:57Speaker 10: that means you have to be more creative in the.
- 46:59Speaker 10: Pocket you get, four and then he has LIKE i
- 47:04Speaker 10: talked about last week's, slides but when he got when
- 47:07Speaker 10: he felt, comfortable he was out one, Two i'm out of.
- 47:11Speaker 10: Here he was holding. Prior and then when they do
- 47:15Speaker 10: locket on, him that means Coach fish calls. Action that
- 47:18Speaker 10: gets him. Outside he can see and he can make a.
- 47:22Speaker 10: Decision and the terrifying thing is that he is so
- 47:24Speaker 10: dang fast nobody can catch, him and he moves it like.
- 47:28Speaker 10: THAT i would expect he's been hit a lot on,
- 47:33Speaker 10: film and the coaches have, Said, DeMont you.
- 47:35Speaker 7: Can't get hit like.
- 47:36Speaker 10: That you have to hold in there and trust that
- 47:39Speaker 10: your guys are going to get. Open we're in the
- 47:41Speaker 10: midst of seeing a young man figure out those idiosyncrasies
- 47:45Speaker 10: in a football, game to be able to make those
- 47:47Speaker 10: decisions during a game and, Go, okay when DO i?
- 47:51Speaker 7: Go when DO i?
- 47:52Speaker 10: Not, well thank, gosh he decided to go because there
- 47:55Speaker 10: wasn't Anything maryland could do to stop. It and then
- 47:57Speaker 10: shout out to the defense with back to back three and,
- 47:59Speaker 10: outs AND i think you saw it the, way coach,
- 48:02Speaker 10: face get a, stop get a, score get a, stop
- 48:04Speaker 10: get a.
- 48:04Speaker 7: Score that's really what it.
- 48:05Speaker 10: Was and then suddenly here we are more twenty four
- 48:08Speaker 10: to twenty and you're Going you're riding home on that
- 48:10Speaker 10: plane going. WOW i, mean what a feeling it was
- 48:13Speaker 10: to even get out of that game like.
- 48:14Speaker 3: That, Right Cam cleland is with us a segment with
- 48:18Speaker 3: us every week at this, time brought to you By
- 48:20Speaker 3: Warrior Injury, Law Battle.
- 48:22Speaker 2: TESTED i was going to dive right into that very
- 48:26Speaker 2: topic BECAUSE i, mean you ended up playing a lot
- 48:28Speaker 2: of years of, Football you ended up eating at the
- 48:31Speaker 2: adult table in the football world for several, years but
- 48:35Speaker 2: you certainly remember your college days being an eighteen to
- 48:40Speaker 2: twenty three year, old and what kind of an impact
- 48:44Speaker 2: does a game like this have to not only, realize,
- 48:49Speaker 2: yes we can win on the road in The big,
- 48:51Speaker 2: ten we can cross three time, zones but to come
- 48:54Speaker 2: out of that game where it looked almost certain that
- 48:57Speaker 2: you were going to lose and then you pull it
- 48:59Speaker 2: out on the. End talk about the difference that that
- 49:01Speaker 2: can have on a young football team that's trying to
- 49:05Speaker 2: convince itself that, hey we are better than we actually.
- 49:08Speaker 2: Are the difference between flying home winning that game and
- 49:13Speaker 2: flying home losing that.
- 49:14Speaker 10: Game emotionally in those that you don't realize that anybody
- 49:19Speaker 10: that there's so much emotion and motivation and belief and
- 49:23Speaker 10: psychological things that happen in a football. Game just look
- 49:26Speaker 10: what happened To maryland in the fourth. Quarter you don't
- 49:28Speaker 10: believe in the big mo which is momentum that is
- 49:32Speaker 10: that's a real.
- 49:32Speaker 7: Thing it's it happens in. Sports talk about guys and.
- 49:36Speaker 10: Find the zone or whatever belief that.
- 49:39Speaker 7: You can win a. Game if you don't, believe you've seen,
- 49:42Speaker 7: sidelines we'll get fans AN.
- 49:45Speaker 10: X please stroll THROUGH x in the in the third
- 49:48Speaker 10: quarter and watch the the, moronic unemotional psychosis of fan
- 49:55Speaker 10: based but it sucks fire. Everybody and then as a,
- 49:59Speaker 10: player you're watching and out there the whole.
- 50:01Speaker 7: Time you're, going what do we have to do?
- 50:04Speaker 1: This?
- 50:04Speaker 7: Hume is? It they're?
- 50:07Speaker 10: Okay that belief that you can beat somebody in that.
- 50:10Speaker 10: Moment BECAUSE i believe This and this isn't me talking.
- 50:13Speaker 10: Right i'm fifty years. OLD i don't care as much
- 50:15Speaker 10: what people think about me, anymore BUT i believe the
- 50:17Speaker 10: brain works one. Way if you have negative, thoughts your
- 50:20Speaker 10: brain is going to constantly think about. It but if
- 50:23Speaker 10: you stay, positive like what Coach fish, said believe in
- 50:26Speaker 10: it's halftime, speech your brain doesn't know the difference between
- 50:29Speaker 10: a positive and a negative. Thoughts be that. Way that
- 50:33Speaker 10: is something that you're trained to be as an. Athlete
- 50:36Speaker 10: i'm not saying that it's just, athletes but this is
- 50:39Speaker 10: the way you have to. Think but you actually have
- 50:41Speaker 10: an outcome where you come back and win that. Game
- 50:44Speaker 10: and now when you're in those moments, again and you
- 50:47Speaker 10: believe that and you've been their, Experience, okay anybody that's
- 50:51Speaker 10: a former athlete or anybody that's had experienced you lean
- 50:55Speaker 10: on that go hey what did we do? Here, well
- 50:57Speaker 10: if you don't have those winds and you have that
- 51:00Speaker 10: lean on. It now you have one of those games
- 51:03Speaker 10: that you go, back what did we? Do how did
- 51:05Speaker 10: we change? It it's an immediate advantage to, everyone and
- 51:09Speaker 10: that's that's how you trade a. Culture and it seems
- 51:12Speaker 10: like to me that Coach fish found that answer with
- 51:14Speaker 10: this group and that was a moment For demon and
- 51:16Speaker 10: the rest of the team and all those leaders out
- 51:18Speaker 10: there is very happy for.
- 51:20Speaker 4: Him, yeah, YEAH i mean the tale of two different halves,
- 51:23Speaker 4: obviously and Yet i'm wondering where you land now after
- 51:27Speaker 4: a twenty four point second half and after however many
- 51:31Speaker 4: quarters that was of not scoring a Touchdown before, that
- 51:34Speaker 4: there was a lot of talk after a few games
- 51:37Speaker 4: against not high opponents, obviously just like everybody else in
- 51:41Speaker 4: the country that kind of has a warm up. Schedule
- 51:45Speaker 4: where you at as far as how this offense, IS i,
- 51:47Speaker 4: Mean Demon williams is still a special, Player Jonah coleman's
- 51:50Speaker 4: a great running, Back Denzel boston and a couple other
- 51:52Speaker 4: guys are starting to emerge even besides him as far
- 51:55Speaker 4: as receivers. Go BUT i, mean where are you landing
- 51:58Speaker 4: now as to what you really think this offense is
- 52:01Speaker 4: versus maybe what the narrative was after you, know a
- 52:05Speaker 4: potent offensive first few.
- 52:06Speaker 7: Weeks, well the.
- 52:08Speaker 10: Beginning was it was a lot of. Run you, Know
- 52:10Speaker 10: jonah's got eleven, touchdowns and it was we ran the.
- 52:13Speaker 7: Football score in every drive In.
- 52:15Speaker 10: Ohio state showed us a few things and they had
- 52:18Speaker 10: to make some. Adjustments and then certainly went on the
- 52:20Speaker 10: road And maryland showed you a few. THINGS i mean
- 52:22Speaker 10: their freshman quarterback And League washington was, excellent big huge
- 52:25Speaker 10: tark through the. Ball, well they had a tight end
- 52:28Speaker 10: that was. Awesome but you're looking at this identity, going,
- 52:32Speaker 10: okay what is this? Team and now you Lose carver
- 52:36Speaker 10: Potentially John mills goes down with an, ankle.
- 52:41Speaker 7: And you have to.
- 52:42Speaker 10: Adjust, yeah whatever this team finds that works well to,
- 52:48Speaker 10: Me AND i say this over and over, again is
- 52:51Speaker 10: the engine to this team is the offensive. Line and
- 52:53Speaker 10: then you Have Demond williams changes with his physical, ability
- 52:57Speaker 10: but Having jonah and watching watch THE i mean both
- 53:02Speaker 10: these young wide, Receivers Dez roebuck who comes out of,
- 53:06Speaker 10: nowhere not essentially but a. Freshman you Got Raydon Vines
- 53:10Speaker 10: bright and then Here's Dezel boston going down the field
- 53:14Speaker 10: at that his size and some of the. Throws you
- 53:17Speaker 10: have great. Weapons now you gotta stay. Healthy the best
- 53:22Speaker 10: availability is our investability is always. Availability and you're, hoping,
- 53:27Speaker 10: guys and hopefully you're gonna get To carrio back this.
- 53:30Speaker 7: Week we don't.
- 53:30Speaker 10: Know eventually it'll be probably be a game time. Decision
- 53:33Speaker 10: But rutgers comes. In they can score a lot of.
- 53:36Speaker 10: Points calakvanis is a big. Quarterback Ry raymond's Got he's
- 53:39Speaker 10: got nine touchdowns on the. Ground so they're Not they're
- 53:43Speaker 10: not weekend another team comes off a, bye so you
- 53:46Speaker 10: got to come off this emotional high really quick and
- 53:48Speaker 10: Go we're on a short, week, man we got to
- 53:50Speaker 10: prepare for A friday game and they're making a Long
- 53:54Speaker 10: east coast. Trip you got to put the hammer down
- 53:57Speaker 10: on this because any he'll go on the road again
- 53:59Speaker 10: to miss next.
- 54:00Speaker 7: Week so it's not getting any. Easier.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Boys let's talk about just first of, all in our
- 54:05Speaker 3: closing couple of, minutes you don't Like friday night. Football
- 54:08Speaker 3: IF i remember you don't like.
- 54:09Speaker 10: That i'm not, No i'm not a. Fan i'll be
- 54:12Speaker 10: honest here. YOU i, mean it's the. Schedule it's for high.
- 54:15Speaker 10: School friday is for high school football in the fall
- 54:18Speaker 10: and Major League. BASEBALL i, mean but we don't want
- 54:22Speaker 10: to See friday's. Game but you know WHAT i, mean
- 54:24Speaker 10: but high school football in the fall Is.
- 54:27Speaker 7: Friday that's what it's.
- 54:28Speaker 6: For.
- 54:30Speaker 2: Yeah and then the other, THING i, mean you look
- 54:32Speaker 2: at this opponent On friday And, RUTGERS i, mean they've
- 54:37Speaker 2: just built their reputation on being a team that can
- 54:40Speaker 2: run the football and can't. Throw and even though they're
- 54:43Speaker 2: running the ball still more frequently than they throw the,
- 54:46Speaker 2: ball the. Effectiveness they're completely more effective now as a
- 54:50Speaker 2: passing team than they are a running, team or at
- 54:52Speaker 2: least they have been so far this. Season it's sort
- 54:55Speaker 2: of a, stark dramatic change to what you typically prepare
- 55:00Speaker 2: for when you Face rutgers in the modern.
- 55:02Speaker 10: Day, yeah and THEY i watched them last year, too
- 55:05Speaker 10: and that game was now that was Coach fish's first.
- 55:08Speaker 7: Pro, game and it just flouered.
- 55:13Speaker 10: How they're going to see a team come back into.
- 55:16Speaker 10: Too SO i Am i'm quite. CURIOUS i don't. THINK
- 55:21Speaker 10: i don't think you deviate off of what it is
- 55:23Speaker 10: to try to load up and stop the. Run the
- 55:26Speaker 10: difference was is That maryland didn't run it as. Well
- 55:29Speaker 10: they had some good outside, zones but they really wanted
- 55:31Speaker 10: to get down the take advantage of their athletes on the.
- 55:35Speaker 10: EDGE i don't know WHEN i See, Rutgers they're not
- 55:38Speaker 10: going to change who they, are no doubt they're going to.
- 55:41Speaker 10: Change if you're going to make a team one, dimensional then,
- 55:44Speaker 10: uh you have to adjust and be more physical upfront
- 55:47Speaker 10: with the. Defense And Jake mono was. AWESOME i, mean
- 55:50Speaker 10: here's a kid that talk about stepping in for boot
- 55:53Speaker 10: out and you're not, upgrading but it is damn impressive at.
- 55:57Speaker 10: Linebacker and if you get To carrio then. Okay alex
- 56:02Speaker 10: McLoughlin is the number one safety And Pro Football focus
- 56:06Speaker 10: grading out wise.
- 56:07Speaker 7: And tackle ability and. Space that is that young kid
- 56:10Speaker 7: big getting shout out to long Hair. Ginger he's a.
- 56:14Speaker 10: Dude and so your defense is getting better and your
- 56:16Speaker 10: d line is getting.
- 56:18Speaker 7: Better that to me Is.
- 56:19Speaker 10: I'm noticing a big difference with how well Coach walter
- 56:21Speaker 10: is getting this defense to really fit and Control nolling
- 56:25Speaker 10: in the run. Game but they're being a little more
- 56:27Speaker 10: aggressive with their blitz package.
- 56:29Speaker 3: Too all, right, well all, right So mariners close it

- 58:42Speaker 8: that'd be awesome IF i could have just done the
- 58:43Speaker 8: show there live with. You, yeah you know how you guys.
- 58:47Speaker 8: Think sometimes you get out to training, camp you do
- 58:50Speaker 8: these different, things and like people are, like, there that's
- 58:53Speaker 8: what we need to. Do we've never done.
- 58:54Speaker 6: THAT i don't think, ever.
- 58:56Speaker 3: He's a great, idea never happened person there. Anything, yeah,
- 59:00Speaker 3: yeah well maybe next, round maybe next.
- 59:03Speaker 8: Rounds how's the feeling there do they feel is? It
- 59:06Speaker 8: is it? Tense are they?
- 59:08Speaker 3: Tight?
- 59:08Speaker 2: No we led the show with, that a little brief
- 59:12Speaker 2: Conversation bucky AND.
- 59:13Speaker 3: I to, me it's like the perfect.
- 59:15Speaker 2: APPROACH i, mean there was some celebrating that we media
- 59:19Speaker 2: types heard from outside the door waiting for them to
- 59:22Speaker 2: open the, clubhouse SO i think you do celebrate, that
- 59:26Speaker 2: and then once you got, inside there was just this
- 59:28Speaker 2: feeling of we've got work to, do we know, that
- 59:32Speaker 2: and we're all about business right.
- 59:34Speaker 3: Now we're standing on business right. NOW i think they
- 59:37Speaker 3: have the exact perfect attitude right, now AND i don't
- 59:40Speaker 3: know if you sense that during the course of the
- 59:43Speaker 3: year that they would possess that when the time mattered.
- 59:45Speaker 8: MOST i think it's crazy the impact that the last
- 59:51Speaker 8: two years have had on this. Team just to be
- 59:55Speaker 8: on the outside looking, IN i think it has had
- 59:58Speaker 8: a profound impact on this, team AND i don't think
- 1:00:02Speaker 8: right now you know this team will allow itself to be,
- 1:00:06Speaker 8: Deterred like it won't allow themselves at any point to
- 1:00:11Speaker 8: really i mean, celebrate, yes but they won't let. UP
- 1:00:15Speaker 8: i think that this team is is so incredibly focused
- 1:00:19Speaker 8: and they're, Like, okay onto the, next onto the, next
- 1:00:21Speaker 8: onto the, Next and they've done an incredible job of
- 1:00:24Speaker 8: that this.
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: Season, yeah and how are you feeling About brice going
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: out here first postseason? Start you, know the idea of
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: him coming out probably going to have a short leash
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: just simply because you're wanting to wrap this thing up
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: in four and not necessarily have to Face schooble In game.
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: Five and yet he seems like a, cool calm collected
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: character that could quite possibly handle his first postseason start
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: with with some calmness to.
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: Him.
- 1:00:48Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah he's got such a good heartbeat for, this
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: And I'M i think he's had to overcome you, know
- 1:00:56Speaker 8: a lot this, year and in some ways and times
- 1:01:00Speaker 8: this year he was almost sort of like bewildered by
- 1:01:04Speaker 8: all of. IT i feel LIKE i think he was
- 1:01:06Speaker 8: surprise with what was happening and and like it's just
- 1:01:10Speaker 8: frustrated and confused a little, bit you know about the.
- 1:01:13Speaker 8: Arm BUT i feel, like you, know you look at
- 1:01:16Speaker 8: his last few. STARTS i, mean he's in a really good.
- 1:01:19Speaker 8: Place you, know he has been. EFFECTIVE i think that you,
- 1:01:25Speaker 8: know he isn't a guy you know that that is
- 1:01:28Speaker 8: that is quite, there you know this season yet with you,
- 1:01:32Speaker 8: know just complete shutdown. Stuff but he has he has
- 1:01:37Speaker 8: the right, temperament he has the right. Attitude SO i,
- 1:01:40Speaker 8: MEAN i think he goes out there and he absolutely you,
- 1:01:42Speaker 8: know gives you an opportunity to to win. Tonight and
- 1:01:47Speaker 8: and as you, mentioned you, know that's what they want to.
- 1:01:49Speaker 8: Do they don't want to they don't want this to
- 1:01:51Speaker 8: go to A game. Five as much as they'd love
- 1:01:53Speaker 8: to win, it win it in front of The seattle, fans,
- 1:01:56Speaker 8: uh they they'd like to take care of business right
- 1:01:58Speaker 8: there In.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Detroit, Yea buckey was just telling me about a softy
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: tweet that the today marks the thirtieth anniversary of the,
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: double the last time that they clinched An American League divisional.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: Series of, COURSE i was three And bucky was not yet.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Born AND i think that was the night that your
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: parents they celebrated the double by you, know conceiving Of.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: Angie IF i, remember If i'm doing the math, Right, yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:25Speaker 8: But act that's.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Right but a nice way to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: of the double is by winning The American League Divisional
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: series in twenty twenty.
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: Five when you.
- 1:02:35Speaker 8: Say it would be absolutely, incredible, yeah, NO i think
- 1:02:42Speaker 8: you guys are there and that that's really. Cool but
- 1:02:44Speaker 8: just seeing the city, here being here and realizing just
- 1:02:50Speaker 8: kind of what this. Means and you, know we've talked
- 1:02:53Speaker 8: about the impact of the team and how focused they,
- 1:02:56Speaker 8: are it really makes you realize just how how so
- 1:03:01Speaker 8: in one way starve this city. Is but also And
- 1:03:04Speaker 8: i've said this for twenty four years that just like
- 1:03:10Speaker 8: how much this city you, know they're, There they're always.
- 1:03:15Speaker 8: There you, know there's some places that you win and
- 1:03:18Speaker 8: they just don't show, up Like mariner, fans you know
- 1:03:21Speaker 8: want this so, badly you, know so ready for, this
- 1:03:26Speaker 8: and there they. Are really it is an incredible fan.
- 1:03:31Speaker 8: Base it really is here In. Seattle, YEAH i, mean
- 1:03:34Speaker 8: they're always, there they never, left you, know.
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: YEAH I and yet the starved for it also kind
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: of creates a sense of you, know, man you're one
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: game away from, this but it still doesn't you can't
- 1:03:44Speaker 4: breathe Easy it's not like you couldn't lose two games
- 1:03:47Speaker 4: in a row and find yourself out of this. Thing
- 1:03:49Speaker 4: and yet are you getting the sense that there's a
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: feel like there's just something special going? ON i, mean
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: if there wasn't something With cal hitting that home run
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: to the guy that's actually from Long view with the
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: sixty one shirt, on it bounces in the, bullpen barely
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: up high enough for him to get, it it just
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: seems like the stars are. Aligning are you getting a
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: feel that there's something special going on that's kind of
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: maybe just the universe speaking that this could be the?

- 1:05:59Speaker 2: to the game today for The? Mariners color Analyst aie
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: men TINK.
- 1:06:04Speaker 8: I didn't LIKE i mentioned something about the importance OF
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: Jp crawford the last time we, chatted AND.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: I mean a little off balanced, throw but at the
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: plate he was.
- 1:06:16Speaker 8: Outstanding, yeah, WELL i mean he at this point in the,
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: season everybody is sort of being held together with duct
- 1:06:24Speaker 8: tape AND i AND i, think you, KNOW jp is as.
- 1:06:27Speaker 8: WELL i think you, know you, know he's been grinding
- 1:06:31Speaker 8: behind the scenes a lot to, to you, know to
- 1:06:35Speaker 8: make things. Work you, know. Defensively you, know at this
- 1:06:38Speaker 8: point in the, season you pay shortstop your arms, basically you,
- 1:06:42Speaker 8: know hang it. Off it's just they're making. It you,
- 1:06:44Speaker 8: know it's a hold. On so he's been he's been
- 1:06:49Speaker 8: grinding out there. Defensively but when this this team does
- 1:06:53Speaker 8: that one through, nine you, know just just do your.
- 1:06:56Speaker 8: JOB i think that the bottom of this order is

- 1:07:04Speaker 8: Formula and then it's gonna be somebody. ELSE i, mean

- 1:09:14Speaker 3: Good, morning hows everyone. Doing we're doing all.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: Right not a bad way to win a game last.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: Night eight for the final, Score what was your biggest?
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: TAKEAWAY i don't always like to just direct an. ANALYST
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: i like to sort of give you a chance to
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: paint your beautiful canvas however you. Want what was your
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from that?
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: Win last? Night Logan gilbert showed Up philip his.
- 1:09:38Speaker 11: OWN i thought he attacked the left he's tremendously with
- 1:09:40Speaker 11: the combination of the slider and split, finger kept him off,
- 1:09:43Speaker 11: balance kept him. Uncomfortable that's the most uncomfortable That i've
- 1:09:46Speaker 11: Seen Carry. Carpenter look this entire series and honest his entire.
- 1:09:49Speaker 11: Playoffs the bats showed. UP i felt like everyone put
- 1:09:53Speaker 11: together productive at, bats even guys Like Josh, naylor who
- 1:09:57Speaker 11: unfortunate went oerver. Five he still hit a ball to
- 1:10:00Speaker 11: right center field with runners on first and second that was,
- 1:10:03Speaker 11: murdered and then he had a twelve pitch at bat
- 1:10:05Speaker 11: early in the game When flaherty was kind of cruised
- 1:10:08Speaker 11: and that was the first bump in the. Road there
- 1:10:10Speaker 11: was just productive at bats up and down this, lineup
- 1:10:12Speaker 11: AND i thought the defense played really, clean the pitching.
- 1:10:14Speaker 11: EXECUTE i, mean this is this Is Mariner's. Baseball is
- 1:10:17Speaker 11: what we need to do if we want to win the.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Playoffs, WELL i think it's twenty twenty Five mariners. BASEBALL
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: i wanted to ask you specifically this today because this
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: is something that we've talked about as a show here
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: in the. PAST i think what's most encouraging about this
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: particular roster is THAT i think they can win just
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: about any, way and that doesn't mean that they're gonna
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: win every single game out, there but over the course
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: of a five game series or better, yet a seven game,
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: series their ability to outscore you if they need, to
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: or to lean on a dominant pitching, performance or maybe
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: even out scrap, you play the small game a little,
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: bit steal some, bases move some base, runners which is
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: something they have struggled with severely over the last couple of.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: YEARS i think that's the most encouraging thing about this
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: roster is that they can win a game like last.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Night they can win a game Like game number, Two
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: whi's three to two nail. Bider it just feels to
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: me that they have so many options to win a baseball,
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: game and that might not win in a particular, game
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: it might not show up that, night but over the
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: course of a five game stretch or a better, yet
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: a seven game stretch, man that is a weapon to
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: have to be able to win in a number of.
- 1:11:30Speaker 11: Ways what do you think of, That? Chuck that was
- 1:11:32Speaker 11: really well, said AND i agree with. You this team
- 1:11:34Speaker 11: is versatile and they have different superstars and just quality
- 1:11:38Speaker 11: depth of positions of, defense, pitching and offense that can
- 1:11:41Speaker 11: step up at different parts of the. Game and you
- 1:11:43Speaker 11: look at last. NIGHT i, Mean polonka was the hero
- 1:11:45Speaker 11: when we faced Terrece google the other, night but then
- 1:11:47Speaker 11: you look At roblaz had a big double to get
- 1:11:49Speaker 11: the rally going, early drove a ball to right. CENTER
- 1:11:52Speaker 11: i just this team looked lighter to me. YESTERDAY i
- 1:11:55Speaker 11: felt like THE i don't want to say the word,
- 1:11:57Speaker 11: burdings it's not, appropriate but the pressure of playing at
- 1:12:00Speaker 11: home and like getting that first playoff home win in
- 1:12:03Speaker 11: twenty four. Years we talked about, it that was playing
- 1:12:05Speaker 11: heavy for those couple of games at home and to
- 1:12:07Speaker 11: get that. Win they looked lighter yesterday WHEN i saw.
- 1:12:09Speaker 11: Them and to be able to weather that that you,
- 1:12:12Speaker 11: know rain delate they were going. Through that was a long.
- 1:12:14Speaker 11: Delay i'm sitting here looking for updates any and, everywhere
- 1:12:17Speaker 11: and the only person providing something for me Is, bucky thank,
- 1:12:20Speaker 11: goodness and he found some whiskey and pumpkin apparently cocktail
- 1:12:23Speaker 11: that was out in about SO i was, like all,
- 1:12:24Speaker 11: right they're not playing, Yet i'm not missing. It but
- 1:12:26Speaker 11: this team looked. LIGHTER i felt like they kept the
- 1:12:29Speaker 11: fans out of. It they showed up a little bit
- 1:12:31Speaker 11: in the ninth when they got a rally, going but
- 1:12:33Speaker 11: by that point we Had Senor smoke. WAITING i didn't
- 1:12:36Speaker 11: want to use, him but if he needed a nine
- 1:12:38Speaker 11: pitch touch and field yesterday in that game to stay,
- 1:12:40Speaker 11: involved Then i'm okay with.
- 1:12:41Speaker 7: It.
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: Yeah, heally how important is it when you feel like
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: the depth of your lineup creates a sense of lightness
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: if you, will to where you don't have to feel
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: LIKE i gotta get it done or we're not going
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: to get it. Done because we've watched that for years
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: with this offense and, yea now the length in this
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: line kind of creates a sense of. FREEDOM i think
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: maybe lightness the way you put, IT i, mean how
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: important is, that especially when the moment gets as big
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: as it does in the.
- 1:13:07Speaker 11: Playoffs that's a great, Point, Bucky AND i think as
- 1:13:10Speaker 11: a as an offensive, player outs can feel like almost
- 1:13:15Speaker 11: in your death. Experience sometimes with twister runners in scoring,
- 1:13:18Speaker 11: position the game's getting, later the pressure is starting to.
- 1:13:20Speaker 11: Build every single time you make it out and don't
- 1:13:23Speaker 11: come through your, team it feels like the end of the.
- 1:13:24Speaker 11: World AND i didn't feel that. YESTERDAY i felt almost
- 1:13:27Speaker 11: like energy AND i talk About Josh naylor a lot,
- 1:13:30Speaker 11: too because you know he hasn't had that first. Hit
- 1:13:32Speaker 11: but when WHEN Jp crawford hit his home, run who
- 1:13:35Speaker 11: was in the tops bet to the top, step cheering
- 1:13:37Speaker 11: over the, rail pointing At JP's he's rounding, First, like
- 1:13:40Speaker 11: there's there's ways to transfer, energy good and bad to
- 1:13:44Speaker 11: throughout your. Teammates AND i feel like right, now regardless
- 1:13:46Speaker 11: of if someone's coming through or, not they're transferring positive
- 1:13:50Speaker 11: energy to the next guy and then they're coming through for.
- 1:13:53Speaker 11: Them and also Cal rawley is just leading from the
- 1:13:55Speaker 11: front right, now the way that he's executing not just
- 1:13:57Speaker 11: home runs but bass. Hits he is leading from the
- 1:14:00Speaker 11: front and the rest of following suit and really contributing.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: Well Brian healy is whether it's Former mariner third baseman
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: and first BASEMAN dh on the squad and he joins
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: us here on the radio. Program he's joining us throughout
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: the postseason to cover Some mariners playoff. Baseball Here mariners
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: win it last night by a final score of eight to,
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: four and so here you've got an, Opportunity ryan to
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: close this thing out.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: Today do you go after it like it is a game?
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: FIVE i Mean you've got scooball one In game. Five
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: sure it's at, home BUT i would imagine The mariners
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: would like to avoid. That so do you treat Today
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: Bryce miller's start a bullpen that everybody could pitch? Today
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: do you kind of treat it like not a must,
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: win but let's just close it out today and we're
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: going To we're gonna do whatever it takes to win this.
- 1:14:53Speaker 11: Game that's a great question for the managers in the
- 1:14:58Speaker 11: front office making decisions pre game as they're kind of
- 1:15:01Speaker 11: navigating what the pitching is going to look. Like, obviously
- 1:15:03Speaker 11: we Know Bryce miller's going to, start but based off
- 1:15:05Speaker 11: of the seasons he, had we're assuming there's going to
- 1:15:07Speaker 11: be a pretty quick hook in. There they Left gilbert
- 1:15:10Speaker 11: in there yesterday in the fifth inning When carper came
- 1:15:12Speaker 11: up a game with first and. Third that's happened almost
- 1:15:14Speaker 11: every game in the fifth, inning like Carry carpenter's up
- 1:15:16Speaker 11: with first and. Third BUT i feel like they will
- 1:15:18Speaker 11: be more, aggressive not because it's a must, win but
- 1:15:21Speaker 11: because there's an off day to follow and travel.
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: DAY i believe that's correct they're.
- 1:15:25Speaker 11: Playing they would Play game five at home with an off,
- 1:15:27Speaker 11: day so they would have rest for the, bullpen SO
- 1:15:29Speaker 11: i think they're going to exhaust the arms in the
- 1:15:31Speaker 11: bullpen today and if they see opportunities to bring different bodies,
- 1:15:34Speaker 11: in they. WILL i don't like saying must, win but
- 1:15:36Speaker 11: you might see more aggressive managerial decisions, today especially in
- 1:15:40Speaker 11: the pitching.
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: Side, yeah one hundred. Percent what do you say to
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: a dude a? TEAMMATE i, mean the team goes. Out
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: there was a really solid all around. Game not that everybody,
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: contributed but for the most, part you had guys at
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: the bottom and the guys at the top that contributed
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: offensively and good pitching from everyone except For Caleb. FERGUSON i,
- 1:15:58Speaker 4: mean what are you, saying is a teammate to? Him
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: because you're still going to need him if you end
- 1:16:03Speaker 4: up wanting to see this this ride last for the
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: for the rest of this, month you're gonna need him
- 1:16:08Speaker 4: to come out. There it was this just one where
- 1:16:10Speaker 4: he's kind of a soft. Guy he pitches the, contact
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: gets a lot of ground. Balls you hope they go
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: to somebody or was this something that you're, Thinking you know, what,
- 1:16:18Speaker 4: dude you're kind of getting bumped. Down we're not going
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: to be able to bring you in in any high
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: leverage situation based on how poorly you you your outcome was.
- 1:16:26Speaker 11: Yesterday that's a great, question and they can go one
- 1:16:29Speaker 11: of two. Ways they can completely write them off and
- 1:16:31Speaker 11: say we're gonna forget about, you or it's a really
- 1:16:34Speaker 11: great opportunity to reinforce some confidence into a, pitcher especially
- 1:16:38Speaker 11: a lefty that you're gonna need down the stretch here
- 1:16:40Speaker 11: and the lefties matchups out of the bullpen have been
- 1:16:42Speaker 11: really important for this this lefty Heavy tiger's line up.
- 1:16:46Speaker 11: Here so DON'T i don't see that, happening meaning writing them.
- 1:16:48Speaker 11: Off they'll be very strategic of when that opportunity. Comes
- 1:16:52Speaker 11: Obviously spiers been the guy that is hired. Leverage but
- 1:16:56Speaker 11: If i'm, Them i'm If i'm If I'm Dan, Wilson
- 1:16:58Speaker 11: i'm trying to Get ferguson in there, today depending on
- 1:16:59Speaker 11: what that the game is flowing like and looking like the,
- 1:17:01Speaker 11: quicker you get him.
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: Back on the horse and more comfortably he.
- 1:17:03Speaker 11: Is, mean that escalated really quickly on, him And i'm
- 1:17:07Speaker 11: not going to sit here and say he pitched. Terrible
- 1:17:09Speaker 11: it was a knock and then a walk and then
- 1:17:10Speaker 11: the double bit Toorkals in and then another. Knock it's, Like,
- 1:17:13Speaker 11: wow that escalated really. Quickly that's so quickly the stuff can.
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: Happen in the. Game it's not because he's a bad.
- 1:17:17Speaker 11: Pitcher that was just the last little bit of fight
- 1:17:19Speaker 11: that The tigers, had and unfortunately Fergus hon was on
- 1:17:21Speaker 11: the receiving end of.
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: It, WELL i Liked ziam used as he was. Acquired
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: you're a specialty. Guy that was not a specialty situation last.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: Night i'd rather use It jackson. There quite, FRANKLY i
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: mean good. POINT i don't want to criticize an eight
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: to four, win But i'd have gone With Luke jackson
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: there with a seven run, lead and let's Get ferguson
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: back to being used the way that he's supposed to be,
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: used and that's in the middle of an inning against
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: a left hander to either take that left handed hit
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: or out of the, game or to get out of the,
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: inning and then with a fresh new, inning you bring
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: in somebody who was a little more. Versatile SO i just,
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: thought this seems hyper critical after a win like, That
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: BUT i thought that was a misuse Of ferguson last.
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: Night, GRIN i don't want to say it's.
- 1:18:03Speaker 11: HYPERCRITICAL i think that's it's probably over. AGGRESSIVE i would
- 1:18:06Speaker 11: say that's. Realistic it's the reality of what is that
- 1:18:09Speaker 11: picture's mentality and what are his, strengths and how do
- 1:18:11Speaker 11: we maximize the situations that we have available throughout the
- 1:18:14Speaker 11: game to give that picture the best opportunity to. Succeed
- 1:18:17Speaker 11: it's an eight to one, game that's the. One Is
- 1:18:19Speaker 11: ferguson thrown a? Blowout if he's been a high leverage situational,
- 1:18:22Speaker 11: arm you're not throwing him into the. Situation it's kind
- 1:18:24Speaker 11: of like when you see a closer in a blowout
- 1:18:26Speaker 11: game and he has a pitch for four, days, heay
- 1:18:27Speaker 11: we gotta get him some, work and we're up or we're,
- 1:18:29Speaker 11: down and they come out there and they get. Shelled
- 1:18:31Speaker 11: it's because then the mentality in the mindset is not
- 1:18:34Speaker 11: it's not matched with what the situated situation. Hands and these,
- 1:18:37Speaker 11: pictures the relievers, especially they use so much adrenaline to
- 1:18:41Speaker 11: perform in those moments and execute to find that extra
- 1:18:44Speaker 11: level of focus they need to. Operate and there's no
- 1:18:47Speaker 11: shot That ferguson had That after a three hour rain
- 1:18:49Speaker 11: delay and eight to one, score and you know marriers
- 1:18:51Speaker 11: now heading towards a clingch, like there's no way the
- 1:18:54Speaker 11: mindset was one hundred and ten percent locked in on
- 1:18:56Speaker 11: the task at.
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: Hand, well you've been To detroit, before so we don't
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: have to ask you about. THAT i, mean you've had
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: The detroit, experience you've been through a rain delay, before
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: you've won a big game. Before BUT i do want
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: to ask, you based off something you said a little bit.
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: Earlier have you ever drank whiskey out of a pumpkin?
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: SHELL i have, not BUT i might put that on
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: my fault to do.

- 1:19:21Speaker 11: of a.
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: Pumpkin i'll tell you.

- 1:19:23Speaker 2: POPULAR i mean they were out of pumpkin shells before
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: the game Even, sorry now granted there was a three
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: hour rain, delay but out of pumpkin shells before the
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: game even started last.

- 1:20:18Speaker 3: helick joining us right here On Chucking buck in The
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: mornings as as we celebrate an eight to four victory
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: here live From detroit.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: With Ryan healey there on the old zoom. Call he's,
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: right there was the middle of the order didn't even.
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: Contribute you had an eight run effort and the middle
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: of your order did. Nothing they came up Snake eyes last,
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: night including the heroes.
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: Of game number, Two julio And.
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: Polonco even we're empty and we're still waiting For Josh
- 1:20:48Speaker 2: naylor to get. Going but when you get the contributions
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: like you did from the bottom of the, order which
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: is SOMETHING i repeated a lot yesterday throughout our broadcast.
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: DAY i kind of felt like we were gonna get some,
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: contribute but more than, Contributions, bucky we got just pure
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: damage from the bottom of the. Order six of the
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: eight runs scored were from hitters six through nine in
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: that game last. Night, man you get that on this,
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: team with this, pitching you're winning every single game that you,
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: play regardless of. Opponent and so it's just as it's
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: the roster is set up so, well they're just so
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: many ways that they can win a baseball.
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: Game they really. DO i mean it was there's good
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: signs and bad. SIGNS i said it, earlier AND i
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: think that it's something that it's always sticks in my
- 1:21:34Speaker 4: head of how good or how bad is anything any given,
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: thing any, pitch any bat. Contact it doesn't always boil
- 1:21:43Speaker 4: down to just what the outcome. Is, now outcomes, matter
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: BECAUSE i don't care if you just have twenty seven
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: good at, bats if you get no, hit it was
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: not very. Good it wasn't good. Enough that, SAID i
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: think this team kind of has the feel right. Now
- 1:21:57Speaker 4: you heard it From polonka when you interviewed him that
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: anybody can be the hero in any given, night and
- 1:22:03Speaker 4: yet that means that they don't have to go up
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: there trying to be the. Hero you go up there
- 1:22:07Speaker 4: to have a good ab and you might end up
- 1:22:09Speaker 4: being the dude that gets the thing, started like robusted
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: or then you, know gets that, knock the LITTLE i
- 1:22:16Speaker 4: mean signature swing Of JP's where it kind of almost
- 1:22:20Speaker 4: gets jammed a little bit and hits a little filet
- 1:22:22Speaker 4: out there into left field or left center field that
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: gets the scoring. STARTED A Rose arena backs it. Up
- 1:22:27Speaker 4: it's all of a, sudden like once that contagious part
- 1:22:29Speaker 4: of hitting starts, going everybody chips in on. It, well
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: you're still going To i've been on the end Where
- 1:22:34Speaker 4: i'm the guy that goes four for four Or i'm
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: the one guy that goes zero for five and everybody
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: else we scored fifteen.
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: RUNS i don't. Care you don't care if you right,
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: NOW i.
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: Can promise You, Hulu, Rodriguez polonco And, naylor who hasn't
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: gotten a hit in the entire, series none of them
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: are feeling sorry for themselves because they're one game away
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: and they all feel like today's my. Day, Today i'm
- 1:22:54Speaker 4: gonna go do it watch AND i wouldn't be surprised
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: if that threesome just goes off. Today who, Knows, well
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: there's some fluky things that happen in. Sports there's some
- 1:23:02Speaker 4: outlier stuff that happens in. Sports baseball can be. Crazy
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: it's a postseason is unpredictable as any postseason In american professional,
- 1:23:12Speaker 4: sports there's no question about. It but the longer these series,
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: gets more often the cream's going to rise to the.
- 1:23:19Speaker 4: Top and maybe we're seeing that happen right before our.
- 1:23:22Speaker 4: EYES i, mean, yeah it's an unpredictable thing until it is.
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: Predictable Jack flaherty yesterday a very predictable outing for.
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: Him he is somebody that has really good, stuff and
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: his numbers suggest that he should have had a better
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: season than what he had for The Detroit. TIGERS i,
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: mean low opponent's batting average, against high, strikeouts low, walks.
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: And yet a high.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: Era what does that tell you About Jack flaherty is
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: when he does give up, damage he gives it up in.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Clusters and that's exactly what The mariners took advantage. Of,
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: Meanwhile Logan gilbert more often than, not just gives you
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: a Steady eddy, performance and he gave you that last
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: night for six strong. INNING i even sort of suggested
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: To cal that maybe he wasn't as sharp in the
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: first two, innings And cal, said, nope you're. Wrong he
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: was sharp from pitch number. One, now would you please
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: get out of my, face my face of the. Franchise, yeah,
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: no he. Didn't he didn't get angry with me at.
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: All but, yes it was sort of.
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: PREDICTABLE i, mean that's the kind of game That tiger
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: fans are worried about From, flaherty and it's the kind
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: of game That mariner fans are almost to the point
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: of expecting out Of. Logan and now that we have
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: this offense that can show up and score eight runs
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: in a, night, man it really does add another. WEAPON
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: i mean it's, Like, okay you've got a, knife but
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: when you had a, gun you got probably a better chance.
- 1:24:47Speaker 3: Of coming out of the war with.
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: That all, Right coming up next on the other, side

- 1:26:38Speaker 12: Hockey, well The detroit story is actually tied back To,
- 1:26:43Speaker 12: canada and it's my. Homeland it's not a personal, story
- 1:26:46Speaker 12: BUT i always think it's fascinating how Close detroit is To.
- 1:26:52Speaker 12: Canada AND i hear a lot of people talk about
- 1:26:55Speaker 12: going across the, border WHICH i, mean what is it
- 1:26:58Speaker 12: thirty minutes twenty minutes? Away but it's a very different
- 1:27:03Speaker 12: experience when you go across the border Into toronto versus
- 1:27:07Speaker 12: Versus detroit in terms of you, Know canadian ness and
- 1:27:11Speaker 12: food and maybe not so much, weather but people don't
- 1:27:15Speaker 12: lock their. Doors it's it's it's quite quite a ying
- 1:27:17Speaker 12: and yang from From.
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: DETROIT i want you at some point in the future
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: to define. Canadianness, yeah so we're.
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: Gonna have you do.
- 1:27:25Speaker 7: That tell YOU i can't do that.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: Now we're going to pin you down to that in the.
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: Future but today we got too much to talk. About
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: SO i know you're.
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: Fired up for the season getting underway. Tomorrow why is?
- 1:27:39Speaker 3: That why are you excited for this year's kracking.
- 1:27:42Speaker 12: Team i'm excited because of the changes that were made
- 1:27:46Speaker 12: in the. Offseason we can talk about, coaching we can
- 1:27:49Speaker 12: talk about players that came, in players that went, out
- 1:27:51Speaker 12: we can talk about a three goalie competition for you,
- 1:27:56Speaker 12: know who's going to be, one who's going to be,
- 1:27:57Speaker 12: two and who's not going to be one or. TWO
- 1:28:00Speaker 12: i think all of those things lead to a better
- 1:28:04Speaker 12: hockey team that should be competing for a playoff spot Come.
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: April, Yeah i'm with you on.
- 1:28:11Speaker 4: That i'll go to one of. Those then the three goalie,
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: THING i, mean obviously a long time ago was everybody
- 1:28:18Speaker 4: had one guy and then they had a backup for if,
- 1:28:21Speaker 4: Needed and now it's moved more into the kind of
- 1:28:24Speaker 4: a goalie by.
- 1:28:24Speaker 5: COMMITTEE a couple.
- 1:28:25Speaker 4: Guys what is the benefit of having three or is
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: this Really joe to coords the, incumbent and then It's
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: grew and the other kid that are going to be
- 1:28:33Speaker 4: fighting to see who is the.
- 1:28:34Speaker 7: Backup, well it's a couple of.
- 1:28:37Speaker 12: Things and starting with a new goaltending coach And Colin
- 1:28:40Speaker 12: zuliano who you, know some of these guys know better than,
- 1:28:43Speaker 12: others which which is always a good way to. Start
- 1:28:45Speaker 12: but in terms of the competition, Itself seattle is one
- 1:28:49Speaker 12: of six teams that are starting the season with three.
- 1:28:52Speaker 12: Goaltenders and it's not you, know it's not, like, hey
- 1:28:55Speaker 12: teams that don't have a shot at making the playoffs
- 1:28:57Speaker 12: are going to carry a three goaltenders to see What,
- 1:28:59Speaker 12: no it's not that at. All in, fact some of
- 1:29:01Speaker 12: the other teams Include Tampa, bay Include, colorado Include, Carolina
- 1:29:05Speaker 12: AND i think what it is is you've got three
- 1:29:08Speaker 12: good quality choices and you're not sure yet who the
- 1:29:11Speaker 12: two best are going to. Be how do you figure that? Out,
- 1:29:14Speaker 12: well you keep them around a little bit longer and
- 1:29:16Speaker 12: you get into some regular season. Games i'd be shocked
- 1:29:19Speaker 12: if we still had three goaltenders on the on the
- 1:29:21Speaker 12: roster Come january. First SO i think that this first
- 1:29:25Speaker 12: month Of october Where seattle's going to face a ton
- 1:29:28Speaker 12: of top playoff teams from last, year Including, vegas Including edmonton, Twice, Toronto. Washington,
- 1:29:37Speaker 12: like they're gonna get, tested these, goaltenders AND i think
- 1:29:40Speaker 12: you're going to see each of them get some games
- 1:29:43Speaker 12: in the month Of october and Come, halloween we're gonna
- 1:29:46Speaker 12: have a pretty good sense of who number one is
- 1:29:48Speaker 12: and who number two. Is but if, not we might
- 1:29:51Speaker 12: push that Into. November BUT i don't think it goes
- 1:29:53Speaker 12: much beyond that where we're carrying three.
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: Goaltenders Al kaniski is WITH us color analyst for Your Seattle.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: Craft can they start the season tomorrow at home Against?
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: Anaheim and you have complete coverage right here With, everett With,
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: al With Mike, benton With Ian, ferness cast of thousands
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: that got you covered for opening.
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: Night it's going to be a special.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: Occasion you dropped it right into the middle of a
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: divisional series In Major League, baseball and yet it's as
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: If god ordained for the divisional series to take the
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: night off for The kraken to debut in twenty twenty,
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: five twenty twenty, six you know a lot of talk
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: over the first few years of this organization's existence about
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: do they have a superstar?
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: Player is there one? Close and there.
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: Seems to be a big question mark about that going
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: into this. Year Maybe jared mccannson never going to reach superstar.
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: Status al Is Shane wright somebody that could achieve that
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: in the near future as early as this, year As
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: Maddy benier's ever going to turn into that. Player what
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: is your outlook on whether or not The kraken are
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: going to have a special player on the ice this?
- 1:31:05Speaker 12: Year, WELL i think in the second half of the
- 1:31:08Speaker 12: season one of the conversations we'll be having is who
- 1:31:11Speaker 12: has the higher ceiling in terms of offensive? Potential is
- 1:31:15Speaker 12: It Shane, right is It Mattie Bnaer's and you, know
- 1:31:19Speaker 12: maybe down the. ROAD i don't think it will be this,
- 1:31:20Speaker 12: season but is At Berkeley cat you are really strong
- 1:31:24Speaker 12: up the middle on the offensive offensive. LINES i think
- 1:31:28Speaker 12: in terms Of jared mccannon and Even Jordan eberly for that,
- 1:31:32Speaker 12: matter last season injuries plagued them a. Bit if those
- 1:31:36Speaker 12: two can stay healthy through this, SEASON i think they
- 1:31:39Speaker 12: could make the guys THAT i just spoke of down
- 1:31:41Speaker 12: the middle be better hockey. Players and you, know health
- 1:31:44Speaker 12: is obviously an important part of any team's. SUCCESS i
- 1:31:47Speaker 12: think that if this team can stay, healthy then you're
- 1:31:51Speaker 12: going to see McCann scoring more. Goals you're going to
- 1:31:54Speaker 12: See everly scoring more. Goals you're going to see those
- 1:31:57Speaker 12: two leaders helping the youth on the, Team Yannie newman
- 1:32:02Speaker 12: for the games That Berkeley caton ends up. Playing so
- 1:32:05Speaker 12: in terms of high end offensive, TALENT i think in
- 1:32:08Speaker 12: The january To march, timeframe we're going to be talking
- 1:32:11Speaker 12: a lot About Shane wright's, season the impact That coppocco
- 1:32:16Speaker 12: has on a full twelve, months she's been a full.
- 1:32:19Speaker 12: Season once she gets back on the, ice it's going
- 1:32:24Speaker 12: to be interesting to. SEE i think that that again
- 1:32:28Speaker 12: asterisk next to the word. Health if you've got these
- 1:32:31Speaker 12: guys playing a full eighty eighty one eighty two games this,
- 1:32:35Speaker 12: season they all have a high upside.
