  Speaker 2: I was gone for a while. That's Jessaman, she's here.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Andrews was hosting today. Was that our little Andrews first

  Speaker 2: solo host?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Well he was with Chris Kidd, Yeah, but kind.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Of lead solo kind of his show.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, every on Friday for you.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I look at differently because that was like
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: not our show, you know. Also it was a little
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: bit out of the comfort zone. I think it was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a big day for him. I like, that's my point.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I think the sound great.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I think he did great. He's he is. He is
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a star in the making. I'm very proud of him.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I just I think it's awesome to see. I think
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: when we you know, I mean, if you look at
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: this radio station, uh, you know, Softy and Fame, we're
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: organically grown from here and they've been here for thirty
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: plus years, and so many others that have come here
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: were kind of the same way. Some have come and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: gone over the years, obviously, but you know a lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of it, you know, I came from outside the market.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But in a sense started thanks to a KJR thing
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because David Lockhart being Salt Lake to do sports radio
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: when I was doing hockey play by play there. So
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I just like seeing the young guys get a chance.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And I think Andrew's is going to be really good
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: at this job as years gone. So I got an opportunity.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I think it's Ashley tomorrow, which is cool because she's
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: going to do great filling in for Greg. So I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: love seeing those opportunities given to our folks out there

• 8:08
  Speaker 2: support of the years of the golf room. So we
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: started Chambers Bay. Just story. But here's what I want
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to tell you. So I had not done this in years,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: like years, It's been a while, and I think like
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that's probably like two renovations ago. I had not been
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to Cheeney Stadium to see a Rainiers game a long time,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in a long time, And so for all it's so
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: for all you guys listening right now, they are a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: big sports fans, Mariners are out of town, or you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: down there, you want to have a you know, maybe
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: a cheaper alternative, or doesn't just maybe you want something
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: a little different baseball wise. I'm gonna tell you now,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the weather was awful. We never actually sat in our
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: own seats. We just watched from above undercover, and then
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: enjoyed some beverages in the old Summit Club up there
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: as well, and with about four or five hundred of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: our closest friends that were all doing the same thing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: honkering down from the weather. But did get to see
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: cold Emerson's final game in Triple A at least for now.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Saw him take a few at bats. That was fun.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: But I just want to say, like, the Rainiers do
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: a terrific, terrific job, even with not great weather. People
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: were having fun all this. We didn't eve get a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: chance to explore the whole stadium. I can't wait to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: do that in the future. On a night that says
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: better weather. But everything they do down there is first class, awesome,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: cool atmosphere, tons of kids dancing around having fun. It's
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: what baseball should be, especially at the minor league level.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't feel minor league because the stadium's fantastic
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and how they and their game presentation is fantastic. And
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you know everywhere you go. If you go walk around
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the concourse, the restroom, you can hear Riley Page doing
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the play by play and the videos the way they
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: have video now in minor league baseball, which they had
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to because I remember that's where the Abs started. Everything they
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: do is awesome, it's first class. And I would just
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: get down to a Rainiers game. I'm just gonna like
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you yourself a favor as a sports fan. Get to a basement.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: First of all, you're up close, you're right there. I
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: just I we had a great time, even despite how
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: cold it was in the weather, we could we could.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I think I think Ben Nelson, my guy Ben, who
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: kind of runs a show down there. I think he
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: said they didn't have one rain out last year. They've
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: had two already this year. They almost had one on Saturday,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: but they ended up playing Austin next ra innings. But
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it was still it was a great experience, really cool,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: despite the weather, despite everything else. Really fun. So head
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: on down there check it out. Shout out to the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: rain Ears. Love those guys. And I can't wait because
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: every I think it's like most Fridays or every other Friday,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: they're at home, Softy Fame Jackson, whoever's doing the show
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that Friday during the summer, because guys think vacation, they
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: do a show down there, and then Chuck or whoever
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: does color with Riley, yeah on the broadcast. So we
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: love them. Yeah. And I'm a big and I'm mister
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: minor league. I worked in minor league hockey for twelve years. Still,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of keeping touch, you know, try to
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: try to stay connected with the TA birds and others.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: And I just have a I have a real soft
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: spot in my heart because if you're working at that level,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you got a passion for what you do, uh, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the passion is to make sure that everybody has a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: great time. And they do a great job down there,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: so and.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: They make it affordable for family.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: They do make it affordable.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: That is the biggest thing that I would go The thing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I thought was cool is just like there's a lot
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: of stuff for kids to do, because you know, having
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: a kid sit and watch a baseball game for nine innings,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: even if it is good weather, that's hard to do.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So there's stuff to kids can run around. So anyway,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: shout out to him. So we got to got to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: watch like the big thing. We're sitting there waiting. It
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: was like an hour and forty five minute rain delay
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: or something, so we're waiting, like, God, do we want
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: to stick around? What are we going to do? And
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: we want to see cold Emerson. Well, the funny thing
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: is my buddy Darren, whose birthday was his wife, they
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: had tickets to yesterday's game. They're using my tickets for
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the game yesterday. They got to see him. Anyway, they
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: got to see him back to back day right, Oh,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: cold Everson gets called up yesterday and the marriage assert
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: thement in the line that was like the only highlight
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: was the fact that cold Emerson made his major league debut.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But we did get to watch them play down there,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and it was it was cool. So Mariners, I'm gonna
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: get to some stuff with them. In a second swept
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: by San Diego, I kind of went through a good
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: news bad news scenario for all these things. And there's
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: there's sides on both seen Yawk schedule as well. I'll
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: spend some time on that, probably at twelve thirty today,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: because I didn't get a chance to go through it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to how do I approach it differently because
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: everyone's already done roster in a schedule roulette and made
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: their picks and done all those things. I just kind
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: of went down and said, you know, for me, as
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: someone that watches it closely, covered it closely for years,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you know what matters most. And there's a couple of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: things that matter really to me more than anything else
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: that maybe are different than what people have talked about.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe not who knows, but I've been on the air,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: so what the hell, I'm gonna give a shot May
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and then a key stretch. I think there's one part
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: of the schedule that could really dictate where the season goes.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. And then as a public service,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: as a public service, I'm gonna do a little something
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a little different too. We I mean, I was and listen,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: if you ever hear people that cover teams in the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: media that complain about traveling and going across the country.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: It's such an old trop Shut up, yeah.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Because I can like, for me a high I've had
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: some really fun things I've done in this career. A
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: career highlight for me, honestly, I tell people it was Seahawks.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It was for sixteen years for Fox thirteen. I went
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to every game home and away, saw every city except
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: for Buffalo. I was during COVID the twenty twenty season
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and the last one they were there, and so I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: had it was it was glorious. Now was I tired?
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Was it hard? Was it travel brutal? All those things? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: yes yes. But I do a pretty good perspective on
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and I love it because people ask me this all
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the time, where should I go? So we'll give a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: little travel I'll give you the travel highlight this year,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: like where you should go? I can just tell you this.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: It sucks, it's not a good year for that, but
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: we'll give it to you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Anyway.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that a little bit too, Like we're
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: like if I was just look outside looking in, say hey,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you can go to one game, you know, all expense
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: pace where it would be We'll talk about that. Okay,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: let's get to the Mariners and then I gotta I'll
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: throw a little topic. Atch you for the text line
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and also on the on the talk back as well today.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: So I swept by San Diego again, just this This
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: team is, if nothing, inconsistent, like that's probably the one
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: strength they have this season is how inconsistent they are,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: up and down, up and down three of four. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I know Nate and Chris will bring up some numbers,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: especially like what's their record against teams not named Houston?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I guess you could probably reverse that, what's their record
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: against teams not named San Diego?
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Because they are six games under five hundred against the Padres,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: so maybe over five hundredf they didn't play the Padres.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: But the Padres are far better bron than the Houston
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Astros are. I think we'd all agree upon that, right,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Like the Podreys are a team that is as Andrews
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: said earlier, he's right. Like the Astros are ten games
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: below five hundred, the Podres are ten games above five hundred.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: So if you're looking for a true barometer about how
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: good you are, the Astros probably aren't it. The Padres
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: are and you're not at that level. Okay, So that's
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that's the bad news. That's one of the bad news
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: items is you're having trouble against good teams, and even
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: in Chicago's here, Chicago's seven and three in their last ten.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: The White Sox are they're kind of surging a little bit.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: They've pulled up there in the in the American League
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Central and they're hanging around and sitting there right behind Cleveland,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: one game behind the Guardians. They are two games above
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: five hundred. So the White Sox are no gimme. We
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: saw that when they went there a couple of weeks ago.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: The Mariners did. So the bad news is you're having
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a hard time against the bad teams. Listen, no col
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and no Brendan Donovan. I get that. We all understand that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: One of the things we should point out it's not
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: like Cal was helping you. Like, it's not like Cal
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: is helping you. I think Cal being out this is
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: gonna sound strange net positive. And here's why, because you
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: need to get him healthy because of cal Raleigh that
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: we saw a pre injured list before he went on
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the injured list, that that cal Raley is not helping you.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Beat good teams that cal Rawley's not helping you win
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: any games. Yes, defensively, sure, fine, whatever, he's not helping you.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: He's not helping you. So to me, net positive, just
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: get yourself healthy. Donovan really good leadoff guy. When he's
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: been healthy this year, just hasn't been enough. He's been
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: in and out of the lineup all year. Put him
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: back on the injured list. Get him healthy. That's a
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: net positive. Like I know, Kal and nobody Donovan net positive.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The bad news is one hit. You lose three straight games,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: two games you didn't. This is what really kind of
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: had to be bothered someome for the Mariners. You had
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: two games where you he didn't even have to sit
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: face Mason Miller, and you still lost. Like Friday Night's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: one thing, like he comes in, has a two inning
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: save or an inning in a third save Mason and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: just as like the most dominant bullpen arm closer in baseball.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You're not going to see him on Saturday. He threw
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: thirty pitches or twenty nine pitches I guess it was
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: on Friday, right, You're not going to see him on Saturday.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: You got to take advantage of that, like you've got
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: to take advantage of that. And they fall behind big.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: They chipped away, they came back, made it kind of close,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: but the rest of their bullpen shut things down. That's
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: that's bad. That's just because he's there. Somebody was that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Joe Sheen said last week, he asked me, what's your superpower? Right, Well,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: what's the padre superpower? D eight Fernando tatist this year, right,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: But it's space and Miller that's a superpower. And you
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: have a game when you go in there as a
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: team going all right, if we're close, if we're in
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: this thing, we don't have to see him. That is
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: such a positive and you can't get it done. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: then yesterday, yeah he if it wasn't for the score,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: he would have been a factor yesterday. But you get
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: one hit, you have one hit, my aforementioned buddy Dee Darren.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: It's like seeing one hitter is almost as rare a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: sing a no hitter. Yes it is, Yes it is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I look up the numbers, but I'm sure Chris or
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Nathan can tell us that, yes it is. That's almost
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: as rare. So you go into that game, you give
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: up one, you get one hit and again. You lose
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: all three and you only see Miller once. That's just good.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: That's not good. But here's the good news. You're still
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: only two out of the ALE West lead. Only four
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: teams in the ALE are above five hundred right now,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: and none of those teams that are above five hundred
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: are in the American League. West. Oakland still leads the way.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, they are the tallest short person in this
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: ALE West and have been all your year. They are
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: five hundred Texas. I saw Texas above Seattle by a
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: game today. I thought, God, the Rangers must be surging
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: now they're five and five in the last time. No,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: they're just again they're the second tallest short person. So
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: that's what's going on with the AL West. It really
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: you can sleep walk your way through this entire season
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and still win this division, like still eat probably easily
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: win this division unless something happens with Texas and they surge.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And well, I'm gonna all ask I'll kind of lean
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: on Chris and Nate for that a little bit. How
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: concerned should we be about the Rangers. We'll talk to
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Shean tomorrow about that as well. But that's the good news, honestly,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: as inconsistent as you've been four games below five hundred,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: just getting beat by good teams. Taking The only reason
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: your record is really good is because you take advantage
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: of really one of the worst teams in baseball, the
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Houston Astros. But the good news is you're still right there.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So okay, bad news is Logan Gilbert George Kirby both
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: rocked over the weekend.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's not great.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That's not good, which we'll talk about or in the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Mulliwop segment. But here's your other good news. Cold Emerson's here,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: drew a walk, scoring a run, got people excited. We
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: want to see cold Emerson up this year, twenty year
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: old kid, and I thought one of baseball's cool in
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: this sense. I don't know who he is, don't even care,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: but whoever the third base umpire is, and whoever the
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: third base coach for the Padres is, it's kind of cool.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: But he goes out there and they get and it's
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a little league day, so he got. He's got. Before
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: he can even take his first warm up throw to
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: first base from Josh Naylor, he's out there. He's got
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to sign autograph for the kid and shake hands with
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the kid. And go through all that stuff. And then
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: after he does that, the third base coach comes up
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: from San Diego and you can see him kind of hey, congratulations,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and so to the third base umpire. I thought that
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: was really cool, What a cool moment. You only get
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: one first game in the big leagues, and in one
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: first at bad he'll have his first hit soon enough,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: hopefully Tonight scored his first run yesterday on base for
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the first time. Is he here for the long haul?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: No one knows. I mean, I know they want him
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to play. So he's probably got an opportunity to show
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: that he can, you know, be adequate hitting at this level.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: And if he can, even when Donovan comes back, as
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: as Andrews was saying, maybe this is then Donovan goes
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: into the role he's probably more suited for, especially if
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: he's got this issue that's probably gonna linger all year
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: with us groin. You go into more of a kind
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: of a super utility role for Donovan. You don't have
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: to play Randy in the left field, which is just
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: an absolute horror show. But you got to have Randy's
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: bat in the lineup because Randy's really good hitting. He's fantastic,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: but you don't want him out there in the outfield.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And maybe Donovan isn't cut out to play third every day.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And even though Emerson's your short stop of the future,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: maybe he's at third now. So you got a good opportunity.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of cool. That's fun. That makes it,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: you know, like a game yesterday, it's just kind of
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: a nothing burger. You watch it just because why it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: on a four o'clock in two because of Emerson's up,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And that's cool. So this good news BN news. But
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: here's what I did. I had to go check, so
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure I had the colors correct,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: all right, So here's here's the homework assignment today, not
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: even a homework assignment, but I want to hear from
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: you guys, and this can be And I think somebody
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: might have done this earlier, maybe anders it. I don't
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: even know, but I'll do it at my own little way.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I love doing this because we started doing this, unfortunately
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: during the worst of times, which was COVID.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: You know, you're you're and and this is also we're
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: coming into fire forest fire season, which is no laughing
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: matter and sucks. And we had a dry winter. Yeah,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: we had a dry winter and all those things. Didn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: have a dry Saturday, but we had a dry winter.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: So like color code of the old concern level for
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the Mariners, where are you? Okay, at four nine, you're
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a concern level for the Mariners. Green that's low level,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: yellow and elevated condition that's actually homeland security stuff, so
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit different. Okay, Orange, harsh condition representing a
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: high risk, red, severe condition, severe risk high.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So what's your concern level for this baseball team?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: There's four games under five hundred right now, and I'm
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: just talking big picture, and I think you have to
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: go with the context of the following. They are a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: team that was on the cusp eight outs away. Oh
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. I'm going to their first ever World Series.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Last year they won the AL West. They were an
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: elite baseball team that was right there, probably should have
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: could have been in the World Series for the first time.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So the expectations this year high. So I'm not even
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: talking about your concern level to win the AL West.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just talking about based on what your expectations are
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: or were as a fan. So whatever your expectations were
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: as a fan, what's your risk level? Green, yellow, orange
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: or red. I'm not take take the Al West out
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: for a second, because I still think they're going to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: win that. But based on your assumption that this is
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: a playoff team already, and you had high expectations with
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: what you've seen now well through what forty eight games?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: With what you've seen through forty eight games, just about
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: coming up on thirty percent of the season, what's your
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: concern level? Green, yellow, orange or red? Four? Nine, four
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: or five one? And also send a talk back as well,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: what's your concern level? I'll give you mine later this hour.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up next. Let's talk a
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: little NFL scheduled. Didn't get a chance to talk much
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: about that since I was gone, I said, didn't get
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: a chance to talk about it much at all because
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I wasn't here.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Good for you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, we'll do that coming up next.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Now back toan furness on your home for the Huskies
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Cracking and the twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: closest snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: All right, schedule finally came out was that like the
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: entire show on Friday.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: It was quite long. We did do a lot on
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the NFL schedule. I will say that it wasn't.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: The night it came out before five.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Well, there was a ton of leaks and we also
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: talked about that too.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Well, whether you like the leaks or not, but like it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Like Chuck Carnold's a team president. He put it on
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Instagram like at four thirty Pacific times, like a half
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: hour before the show was suppressed.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I mean I could see him doing that though, just
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: considering the fact that everyone else had it out there.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm not criticizing Chuck Chuck. If you're listening, last
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: thing I'm gonna with Chris sid Chuck Arland. I love
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Chuck Arland. He's a coop and the president of the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl Champions. But no, I thought it was it
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: like why even bother with this stupid show? They do money?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Why money?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: But by the time the show comes on and I
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: think it's on the NFL network, right.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, well Well, which is owned by ESPN now, but.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: If you have I don't know. I don't have the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: phaser in front of me. Oh there is. I think
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I do believe that the NFL network is still blocked
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: out on like Comcast across the country. Oha. I had
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: this ardument with a friend. He's like, I can't believe
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the NFL network's not on And I'm like, well, what
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: are you watching right now? It's Flipping may Man And
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, of course you're watching the the Do
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: you have to go to esp if they have a
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: daily show?
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: NFL network does, like in the morning they have a
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: morning one. Yes, all right, see, I'm gonna see if
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: it's still on NFL. No, this this channel is unavailable.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Our contract with the owner of this channel has ended.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: As a result, the channel is currently unavailable through Exfinity.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Scan the qr co and tell your.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Well they got bought by ESPN.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Well, but that it's it's that's part of the reason.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: But the other reason, I mean, they're the NFL network
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: right now is not on Xfinity. My That's my point
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: is like, why haven't bother having this show? Like good
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: chunk of the country can't watch it. By the time
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: becase show comes on, everyone's already leaked out the schedule,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: and the NFL if they didn't want it leaked, they
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: can easily not leak it. Yes, that's that's very difful.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Where all the sources come from.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Well example, a good example is this, the March Madness
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: comes out. We don't know who's when they reveal the bracket.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: That's the first time there's never been a leak that
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I could ever think of where March Madness got leaked out,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: never got And even the college football playoff as messed up,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: screwed up and dysfunctional as college football is right now,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk about that later this week. Big
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: big ten meetings going on down in California. That doesn't
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: get out either. You cannot leak stuff. You can keep
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: stuff in house. All you have to do with the
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: NFL just threatened fines if your schedule gets leaked out.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. I mean, because there are people in
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the building that know the schedule. Obviously they have to,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: right right.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I have friends in those buildings, they say.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: And it used to be a grind. We would try
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: to get the things scheduled because we had a show.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: We would do the show at Fox when we were
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: their partner, and we wanted to have the schedule printed
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: up and ready to go on the graphics. You know
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: how long, you know how graphics work. You want to
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: have all this stuff done beforehand. And like those guys
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: are great seahwks are they don't like the leaks. The
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: seas do not like the leak stuff. I'll tell you
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that right now. There's a lot of organizations like the
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: leak stuff. They want of them, so all you have
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: to just keep it ouse. Okay, that's stuff aside. Yeah,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I'm late to the party one hundred percent. I know
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: you guys already did this, but I haven't really and
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I I saw it on Thursday and then Friday kind
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: of glanced at I'm like, eh, whatever, I don't really care,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Like when is it coming out? Actually? You know what
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I care about is when the hockey schedule comes out
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: in July. How many conflicts do we have? Can we
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: try to avoid having every Seahawks primetime game going ahead
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: to head with a cracking game this year?
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: That would be kind of fun, that would be That
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: would be my hope in my dream, because last year,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I think almost every one of the primetime games the
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Seahawks had set for a Sunday night game, we were
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: playing the crack ahead, a game like just that's a
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: whole But that's a whole different story. The NHL tunnel
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: vision mindset. We only you have to sometimes schedule around things,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the like you can't schedule around
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Mariners Opening Day because that comes out in August and
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: you've already had your schedule come out in July. They've
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: gone head ahead with Mariner Opening Day, like the last
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: two years at home, the home game at CPA, same
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: day of the Mariner's playing. Can't you can't? That can
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: be put you can by wait eight, are you listening?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Avoid Seahawk primetime games at least at home if you
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: want to, if you're on the road, whatever, We're fine
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: with nobody watching us those nights. Whatever, it's fine, but
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: avoid those. That's kind of what I care about. Honestly.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: There's certain things that matter to me, and I'll just
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I'm only have time for one here. The Rams game
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: is is interesting. The Rams games plural are interesting.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the final one and I'm.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm trying to well, I'm just trying to wrap
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: my arms around it. Not seeing them again until late
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: two of the final three games Seattle and the Rams
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day and then the last game of the year,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: which ten to eleventh, whenever it is of January, whenever
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: that it'll be Saturday or Sunday. Last year was Saturday, Rightyeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: last year the forty nine game of Saturday. So whatever
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: game that is, whatever date that is. So two of
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the final three, and that's the one. I just I
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: this is where there's part of me that really kind
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: of likes it. There's part of it that really likes it,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: and there's part of me that just is this is
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: just horrible, and it's really for both teams, to be
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: honest with you, this is one of those rare, rare
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: instances where both teams are probably in the same mindset,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: and I don't know what that mindset would be. They
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: would never tell you, oh, I hate it. They would
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: never tell you I love it. They'll just say, Hey,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: going to play every game on our schedule, blah blah
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: blah week to week. But I think it's pretty clever
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: by the NFL. I think it's also really smart by
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the NFL. First of all, Christmas, Whether people like Christmas
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: games or not, you can let me know. Four nine
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: four or five to one. I like the fact that
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: it's a late Christmas game. The five o'clock game.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: You can do all your stuff.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: You can kind of plan around that pretty easy, right,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: you really kind of plan around that. And then by
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: five point fifteen you're like, okay, we've done everything, We're
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: ready to go.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Let's settling in, eating.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Whatever, whatever your you know, friends and family obligations are.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: You should be able to have taken care of them
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: by that. By that time, it's more than anything. Take
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Christmas way, It's primetime five o'clock, perfect Seattle and the Rams.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: And then they play again two weeks later. The NFL
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: is basically telling you what they think. These are the
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: two best teams, and not just the NFC West, but
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: probably in the NFC, and we're going to have two
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: showdown games. We're going to take it down to the
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: wire as we did last year and see what happens.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: The fact that the second forty nine er game is
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: what is it Thanksgiving weekend? Right, that's someday. Yeah, so
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: that's late as well, but still one, two, three, three,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: four or five, six, seven games. So it's game number ten.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: So it just tells you. I think it's creative as hell.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I like it. Initially I was like, this is dumb,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: and then the more I thought about it, like this
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: is actually really good, Like because even either team, even
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: if you stumble a little bit during the season, what
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: do you want to have the ability to do control
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: your own destiny? More than likely both teams going into
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: the Christmas Day game will control their own destiny as
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: far as the NFC West is concerned.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Now, that's what the Rams and Seahawks were last year,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: and that's.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: What they were last year with the forty nine ers
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: kind of spitting around there and kind of hanging around,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: and they'll be a pain in the ass and do
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: the same. And the forty nine ers are going to
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: be better, especially if they're healthy. Depending I mean Bosa
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: is back and depending on Kittle's injury and things like that,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: they're better. They're going to be better at the receiver
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: position with Evans. I mean, they're they're gonna be better.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: But I think it's I think that's one of the
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: coolest things about the schedule. The problem is the only
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: thing that's as a fan, you gotta wait till December
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth. Yeah, like you gotta wait till then that's
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: the marquee here we are game, and then I mean
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: it turns into an absolute flat out must win for Seattle.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Like Christmas Day becomes stressful if you like that, great
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: if you don't understandable, but Christmas Day becomes really stressful
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: for the for Seahawks and Seahawks fans. But if you
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: win that one, man, you're in good shape. Except for
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: one little thing, and I'll get into that later on today,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: because there is part of the schedule that it is
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: just I think I don't know what it is. I
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: think we get the middle finger here a lot of
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: times by the NFL, and I'll.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Explain that all Yeah, worse health is Alaska?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Come on, didn't script, but good segue because I'm gonna
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: touch it on something last night. You were at the
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: game last night, right, yeah, Okay, there was something on
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: the broadcast last night that I don't really get mad
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: too often at other broadcasters. I did last night and
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: it has to do with what you just said. We'll
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: talk about that next.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness on your Home for the Huskies,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Cracking and The Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: closest snow called Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: HI, Welcome, back four nine four five one is the
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Tacoma Dodge text line. Our show brought to you by
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Snow call Me Casino and Hotel. See how was closest
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: snow call Me Casino and Hotel SnO casino dot com
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: book that room today. So, Jess, you were at the game.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I think did you have a field trip down there
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: with Jackson yesterday? Is that what it was?
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, Jackson working afternoon drive doesn't get to be,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: you know, there as often as I can, and I
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: wanted to just.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Let him know what it looked like. And he did
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: a wonderful job in making connections.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Jackson is our guy, all right. So I I the
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: game yesterday was on NBC, Peacock whatever, And first of all,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: for the most part, kind of enjoyed the broadcast. A
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: little different, a little fun. There's part of me that
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: likes it better than the old ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I think maybe Jason Bennetti, Bennett Benettie,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: whatever his name is, that does play by places get
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: and I like the fact that they have an analyst
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: from each team. Ryan Roland Smith was doing it for Seattle,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: and I don't know who the dude was for the Padres.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: But uh, but then Anthony Rizzo is like their dugout
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: sideline whatever a person on yea. So he spent ten minutes,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: it felt like maybe it was longer. Maybe it was
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: a minute, give or take a minute, just on and
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: on about. He was somewhat effusive in his praise for
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: team Mobile Park, the fans the state that just like
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: how it you know, playing here, says God, every time
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: we've been here. It's funny because he's saying, every time
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: we've been here, it's been sunny.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: When I came here as a player, and he was
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the Chicago and the Yankees right like I was always great,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: but it was fantastic because they always come in the
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: middle summer. Now, yeah, this year's Yankees may not agree
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: with that because they were here early. But but he
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: was raving by the way, and we all know if
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: if you're we have of all our faults in this area,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: and there's many, our weather usually from now until October
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: is the best in the country. My wife and I
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: talk about that all the time. It's like, people, you know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: we live in a world now at our age, people
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: are fleeing the state retirement on the horizon. Where are
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: we going to retire? I will never, ever, ever, I
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: cannot understand Arizona year round. I cannot fathom that I
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: would not want to be in Arizona right now. I
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: would not want to be in Arizona.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Until to a hair dryer.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that, by the way, is one of the crappy
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: things about the Seahawks schedule. Just give you an early
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: hint on travel, that, ain't it, Because Arizona would be
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: for me always near the top of the That's one
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: of the things I always look at, Hey, when are
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: we going to When we're going to Glendale Phoenix September. Awful,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: it's going to be one hundred and twenty degrees. That's brutal.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: You're leaving the best weather in the country to go
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: to the worst weather in the country. Give me a
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Cardinals game in December. I'm telling everyone get down there.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: And the statum is, actually, I don't mind the state,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: it's not bad, but risk the weather here is great,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. But this guy just went
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: on and on about how far Seattle is away from
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: everything else. Oh, like, it just feels like we're out
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: in the middle of nowhere, and I like part of
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: me is like cool, then no one's gonna move here,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: But no, we actually do need people to move here now,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Like this is that's not where we're at anymore. Where
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I in just one little small part of
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Southeast King County. One hundred and fifty houses when on
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: the market on Saturday. Think about that. Yeah, like people
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: were leaving.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: It's a buyer's market right now.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Usually thirty that are on the market. Yeah, I get
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty on the market according to my
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: real estate friends. So I'm like, dude, he's raving about this.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: So I went and looked it up. Yes see, Like
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: first of all, you're the guy complaining about having to
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: come to Seattle one time, one time a year. Really,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: the miles that you fly in baseball, I don't think
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the equate to what the same thing is for like football.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: And we'll getting that two o'clock today. We talk about
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the schedule because everyone's going crazy because the forty nine
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: ers have this massive, crazy travel schedule. This year. They
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: got about seven thousand miles more than Seahawks have on
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: most years. So the international trips, yeah, you take it's
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: like eighteen thousand miles going to the two International Games.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, okay, I mean take that out of there.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, well take this in. Take the Houston
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: wins out of there. And Marrors aren't very good, right,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I mean you can you can look at numbers of
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: a way, but I was kind of looking through there.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Look at all these teams that are traveling not half
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: what the Mariners travel, but there's about what is it
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: twenty probably about eight teams are traveling just a little
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: over half with the marriage travel. But they're all Midwest
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: or East Coast teams. Those teams don't travel much. That's fine,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Carolina this year in the NFL barely travels. But what
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I was offended by is, like Rizzo like, just and
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: maybe this is a perception that people have and players
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: have that Seattle is so far out in the middle
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: of nowhere that no one would ever want to go
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: there and play. I just thought it was an odd,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: odd thing to keep going on. He went on on
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and on and on about it, and I'm like, dude,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: first of all, if you're playing in Seattle, it's seventy
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: five to eighty five all through the summer. The roof
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: is open, you're not in sweltering heat, you're not in humidity,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: and yeah, you gotta fly a few extra miles. Oakland
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: by the Oakland, Sacramento's number two in terms of miles flown,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: there are about four thousand. No, they're two thousand miles
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: behind Seattle. So it's not that different. San Francisco is
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: thirty five hundred miles different than Seattle. San Diego four
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: thousand miles different than the Scattle. How different is that?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: That's one plane trip on a charter in which you
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: stay for four days or three days. But yeah, I
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: just thought it was a weird part of the broadcast
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: last night for us. So when you brought up the
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: travel of Jess, I'm like, yeah, good, I want to
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: touch on that because I thought he was just I
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: thought he was an idiot, Like what are you doing?
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Like your job is to sell this thing instead, Hey,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: the stadium is great, but it's out here in the
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: middle of nowhere. We're not in the middle of nowhere.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: A major League baseball team who made it to the
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: ALCS LNTT.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: And I just I just don't I didn't like it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: That's the only part of the rest of the broadcast
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: really liked enjoyed it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought the other guy didn't le Ryan
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: roll In Smith talk enough. We had waits. But you
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: know what, when your team's giving up hits and your
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: and your starter is getting ripped apart and you have
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and you only had one hit, I guess there's only
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: so much that the hyphen could say right at that
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: point in time outside of Colt And they kind of
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: almost stepped on the cold Emerson at bat, which I
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: didn't like. But uh, anyway, good stuff all the way around.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I like Sunday Night Baseball a lot better now than
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I did on ESPN. I'll just I'll wrap it up
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: with that. Outside of Rizzo, I don't need him telling
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: me that that our place, you know, give me the
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: ill effects of being in Seattle. I think Seattle's great
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: summertime is awesome to me. It's one of the best.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: It should be one of the best destinations for a
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: free agent.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: And just when you look at the bigger picture, there's
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: no marine layer here that that that stuff needs to
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: stop now. The batting eye something I'll have to ask
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: a play next, I mean, next time you ask talk
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: to a player, just when you're down there ask him
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: about the the four or five o'clock starts and how
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: that batterye comes into play, because they did talk about
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: that yesterday.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Being yeah, it does make a difference.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: It didn't didn't affect Sweeney.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Right, I will, I'll be down there.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I mean it, certainly, it certainly did not seem to
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: affect the Podres. Whatever the batterye was and whatever issues
• 42:13

  Speaker 3: They should be able to? Yes, you see that.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: That's what a Molliwap Monday looks like visually, people, That's
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: what it looks like visually. Just someday we'll have the
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: technology to actually do this. There's a thing called stream
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: yard out there, Chris, I think, is that right.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: I've heard. I've heard it's good. I've heard that it's
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: pretty much way better than this stupid program.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: I think the zoomage, the zoomage that we're doing right now. Yeah,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I've heard that too. I've heard that too. We'll figure
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: it out someday. But the meantime that there's a little
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: glimpse for the folks on the YouTube. That's what it
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: looks like. When we talk, we like to look at
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: each other, have a good conversation. Uh, Unlike last week,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: in which the role of Nathan Bishop was being played
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: by Anderson Hurst. They're both here today, which is a
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: good which is a good thing because I just checked
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: mentions and texts and listeners and friends and after the
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: weekend that what It's amazing what happens if things are
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: really good. I hear, hey, can't wait for molliwap if
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: things are really bad, can't wait for ally op A three,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: like a two in one weekend or something like that.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: We just do our show and get on with it.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: But there are times when the people need to hear
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: from Chris and Nate, and today is one of those days.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to get to fellas, a lot to
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: get to Chris. I'm gonna start with you because you
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: didn't stiff us last week. By the way, for people
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: who saw this on the on the par Juice, what's
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: what's the name on the zoom thing today?
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: Par Juice. He played a couple of seasons for the
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: Red Wings and for the Islanders. He was around for
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: a long time. He played in the World Cup for
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: Sweden as like a forty one year old or something
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: like that. But it's a name that is stuck with
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: me forever and ever I'm in.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: The I do like that though, because I guess probably Chris,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: you do because you're you're more of a base or
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: a hockey guy. The whole situation with ESPN not able
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: to pronounce half the names of the Buffalo Sabers, the
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: fact that you can pronounce par juice is something else.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Like I'll give you all that, so thank you, buddy,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Huko Pecat un expected to start tonight. We'll see how
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: it's pronounced on TV. I'll I'll be watching Edzel's not
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: doing the game in John's game to ESPNS. I'll watch that,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: all right. We'll start with you, Chris, part of juice?
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: What do you got?
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: Uh? So, how crazy is it that the Mariners win
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: three out of four against the Houston Astros and no
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: one gives a crap? Right?
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: How crazy is it that?
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: You?
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: I know, It's just it's a backwards place and I'm
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: just devastated like you that the Eddie Vedder Cup isn't
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: going to stay in Seattle. By the way, with an
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: English golfer winning the uh that tournament, I wonder if
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: we could have a English team win another big tournament
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: coming up. Probably not. I was incredibly frustrated doesn't even
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: begin to describe it this weekend, And unfortunately in my
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: mile y recap, I did drop the F bomb, and
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: I'll do my best not to do it here. No,
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: I can definitely control myself on this one because of
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: the the three from me and are pretty pretty harsh.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: You're also an experience player in the depth system here
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: at kJ are you know? Isn't it weird? Just real fast?
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Isn't it weird? How like this happens and you just
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: don't just turn that off? It's crazy?
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: It is really weird, really weird.
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, Kevin, Kevin, you got to be a big
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: time like shocky to be able to pull the well, then.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: You get then you get promoted and end up getting
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: a p somewhere.
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: I'll drop the F bomb and get a whole bunch
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: of stuff. I just I can't get over how crappy
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: they looked in that series, because you know that series
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: where they get swept by the Royals. By the way,
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: I believe they've lost six straight home games. Now that's
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: a lot of fun. They looked like the better team
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: for a lot of those baseball games. They didn't look
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: like the better team for one flipp and pitch, not
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: one pitch. They got their absolute butts kicked. And I
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: don't think the Padres are a great baseball team. It's
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: they have a good record, they have some good pitchers,
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: they have a really good bullpen. But you know, getting
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: beat by Avin Sheets and uh, Miguel and Ahar and
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: Ty France, the ghost of Ty France kicking your butt.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: That's just you being a bad baseball team right now.
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: And I keep saying that it's not predictive stuff. Well,
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: at some point it is. And we're thirty percent through
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: the season, and through thirty percent of the season, when
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: you are not playing Triple A Round Rock or whatever.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: He oh, they're Sugarland. I'm sorry, the Sugarland Space Cowboys.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: When you're not playing the Triple A sugar Land team
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: that is the Houston Astros, You've look like dog crap.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: You've been awful. You've been a bad baseball team. And
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: at some point you have to wonder when is it
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: going to change, When are they going to be willing
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: to make the necessary changes. Now you saw one of them,
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: You saw Colt Emerson come up. Of course it comes
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: with an injury, and I'm sure we'll talk a lot
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: about that. By the way, Ian, absolutely your fault for
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: making fun of load management. And then the next thing
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: we see is the Mariners bench Donovan for load management
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: and put them on the Absolutely shame on you. I
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: take force team, thank you. His team just looks awful.
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: It's embarrassing. It is twenty two and twenty six doesn't
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: even begin to describe how bad this team has looked
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: over the first thirty percent, and I'm I'm pretty pissed off.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Nathan.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: I feel like a lot of the normal fury that
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: I would have directed at this team and the people
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: that put it together over the course of the season
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: has been muted by just kind of being exhausted with
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: their whole deal, and also just how bad the American
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: League has been overall has really muted their expectation. I mean,
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: my ability to be upset with them, But Chris is right,
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: outside of playing the Houston Astros, this team and I
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: really feel like we need to be honest.
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: But this is.
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: Supposed to be the American League. We knew was going
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: to be bad. The Marriers were supposed to feast upon that.
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: They were supposed to be a class above all of
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: this wreck that they're currently mired in. Outside of the
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: Houston Astros, this team is fifteen and twenty five against
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: all other competition, and to be honest, they haven't played
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: that many great teams. They've lost series to a lot
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: of mediocre baseball teams that frankly, I think that they're
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: more talented then. And it's really really, really annoying to
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: watch day in and day out, and I feel like
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: they're losing in times games where they just get outplayed.
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: But I feel like this team feels like it's underplaying
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: its talent level. And I know that they have injuries
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: in ways that they haven't necessarily had in the past
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: couple of years, and that that takes a toll. But
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: every baseball team has injuries, Every baseball team has stuff
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: that goes wrong. And this team's inability to win close games,
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: this team's inability to manage its roster where we keep
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: ending up with Mason Miller facing Rob Refsnyder in the
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: ninth and eighty. I know it doesn't matter who faces
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: Mason Miller, I get it, but Rob Refsnyder is here
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: to hit left handed hitter pitchers and he's facing the
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: best relief pitcher who's right handed alive with the game
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: on the line in the ninth inning. This kind of
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: stuff keeps happening, and those things are adding up. And
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: this season, if this were any other baseball season, the
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: Maritors would be three games out of wildcard three and
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: eight and a half games out of first place. And
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: that is, frankly, what their play deserves. And instead we
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: get to sit around here and say that there are
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: two games out of first place because the American League
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: West is the twenty ten NFC West, And you know, great,
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: that means that nothing has been eliminated from their ability
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: to do it. But as a product, as somebody who
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: likes baseball and wants the Mariners to win, this sucks
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: to watch every single day.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: It just sucks. I hate it. Yeah, I will listen.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, basically, it's last year's NFC South right eight
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: and nine wins the division through a tiebreaker with Carolina.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: I want to all right, let's just rip the bandate off,
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Let's just go down the road right now, because is
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: everybody want I mean, this is this is the topic.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: This is everyone in town is talking about this. I
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: was looking at a show recap email this morning. I'm
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: gonna call it up right now, just so I have it.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure this is what was sent
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: this morning by Ashley Ryan wrapping up the Morning show.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: We have a team filled with injuries, playing bad baseball
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: and managed by a bad manager right now. So I'm
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: assuming that's what Chuck said, bad manager. The bandy we're
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: ripping off is that we really and I think in
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: fairness to you too, who people do look to every
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Monday and say, you know, if anybody in this town
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: is going to be honest and critical when needed, I
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: give you guys credits you You guys aren't working for
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: the flagship. You call it as you see it, and
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: we joke about it with Nathan all the time, and
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Nathan is Nathan. We love you for that. But you
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: do say it when things are good, you say it
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: when things are bad. Chris, who does a lot of
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: this for a living, You're usually tempered in your criticism.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: But thought footfall as well. We have avoided, I really think,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: and we've avoided the Dan Wilson topic. We haven't gone
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: down that road. We really haven't thrown stones at that house,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: that glass house a lot not this year, at least
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: last time was probably after a certain game in Toronto
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: in October. We'll forget about that. So Chris, let's go
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: down that road right now. How culpable or how much
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: of a problem is the manager or is.
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: He he's definitely a problem. How much of a problem
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: he is is subjective, of course, because Dan Wilson is
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: in Rob Reschneider. Dan Wilson isn't Connor Joe. Dan Wilson
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: isn't Mitch Garver, he isn't Leo Revos, he isn't the
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: guy who has put those players on the roster. But
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: this is what I came back to, and I always
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: come back to this. Anytime a team makes a managerial
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: change or any type of coaching change in any sport,
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: is Dan Wilson making the Mariners better? Because if Dan
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: Wilson is making the Mariners better, this team sucks out
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: loud like it's a really, really bad roster, and then
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: you've got to talk about making wholesale changes. No, I
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: don't think that this is a really bad roster. I
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: don't think that Dan Wilson has made the Seattle Mariners
• 55:08
  Speaker 6: better even a smidget. Now, if you want to argue
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: that he's what he's doing in the clubhouse. That's so
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: hard to judge because I'm not in there. Nobody's in there.
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: Jerry and Justin are in there, so they have a
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: little bit of an idea, but that's really hard to prove,
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: and it's really hard to prove that a new guy
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: can't do the same thing as well. But the in
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: game decision making and Sunday really frustrated me because I
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: saw a lethargic baseball team. I saw a baseball team
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: that looked like that loss didn't really bug them, And
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: that's really frustrating because it should have. This should have
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: been a you gotta get this w you gotta start,
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: you know, getting some home wins. You got to at
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: least salvage something here, and they looked lethargic. And that's
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: at least a little bit on the manager. Is it
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: on the twenty six players too, of course, But to
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: answer your question, Dan Wilson is deaf, definitely culpable, and
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: Dan Wilson, these are the same issues that we saw
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: when he took over in twenty twenty four. For a
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: lot of twenty twenty five and so far in twenty
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: twenty six, for sure, if you could argue it's actually
• 56:13
  Speaker 6: gotten worse. So I don't think that they're willing to
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: make a change. I think that Dan Wilson's popularity in
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: the city and with the organization makes this an even
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: more difficult thing. But I'll just be honest with you
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: right now. I had a night to sleep on it.
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: I recorded my video at twelve thirty in the morning
• 56:33
  Speaker 6: because I wanted to take as much time as possible
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: before I ended up recording. Yeah, I think I would
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: make the change. I think I would make the decision
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: right now. I probably would have made it after Game seven,
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: to be honest with you, but I would absolutely consider
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: making a managerial change because Dan Wilson is not making
• 56:53
  Speaker 6: the Seattle Mariners better, and that's all I care about.
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: I don't care about him managing the clubhouse. I don't
• 56:58
  Speaker 6: care about the relationship he has with the players. That's important.
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: I believe a new manager can do the same gosh
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: damn thing. Dan Wilson is not making the Seattle Mariners better,
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: and the Mariners need to look at that and decide
• 57:10
  Speaker 6: whether that's good enough. And I can't imagine how you'd
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: say that's good enough.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: The I'm gonna come back to something you said in there.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: But Nathan, I'll let you have your sake, be cause
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: I want to circle back in just a heart and
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: a heartbeat. But Dan Wilson, well, there's six.
• 57:26
  Speaker 8: And eleven in one run games. His predecessor was incredibly
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: good in one run games for over a decade. That's
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: not saying Scott's Servis was a perfect manager. He clearly
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: was not. No manager is perfect. But I'm looking at
• 57:40
  Speaker 8: this roster and I will grant Dan Wilson this year
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: that cal Rawley being hurt sucks.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: That's really hard.
• 57:47
  Speaker 8: As much of a negative as that is, I would
• 57:49
  Speaker 8: say that cal Raley deciding to have the greatest season
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: in the history of Major League Baseball for a catcher
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: probably maybe obscured some of Dan's weaknesses last year. And
• 57:57
  Speaker 8: having a catcher hit sixty home runs makes you look
• 57:59
  Speaker 8: pretty smart when you're riding the lineup every single day.
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: I don't see the stuff that's happening on this roster
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: right now that makes me think that Dan is dealing
• 58:07
  Speaker 8: with some sort of toxic, unmanageable group of guys. Like
• 58:12
  Speaker 8: I see so many things going right for this team
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: on individual levels. Luke Rayley's having a great season. Randio
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: Rosereina has been fantastic. Julio Rodriguez is off to one
• 58:20
  Speaker 8: of his best starts. Josh Naylor after a slow start,
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: it's just Josh Naylor again. Cole Young has been promising.
• 58:26
  Speaker 8: Donovan's been fine when he's been healthy. JP Crawford is
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: the worst shortstop of Major League baseball, but he gets
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: on base like an absolute stud and has been one
• 58:34
  Speaker 8: of their more useful bats Like those things should add
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: up to wins. And you couple it with a rotation
• 58:39
  Speaker 8: that has not been elite. It has not been twenty three,
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty four, it's still been one of the better
• 58:45
  Speaker 8: and probably the deepest rotation in all of Major League Baseball.
• 58:48
  Speaker 8: You still have Andres Munez back there to slam the
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: door on close games. And you're six and eleven to
• 58:52
  Speaker 8: one run games, and you're fifteen and twenty five against
• 58:55
  Speaker 8: everybody except the worst frickin' rotation I've ever seen in
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: my life in the Houston Astros. Dude, they are adding
• 59:03
  Speaker 8: five plus five and making it seven. And I don't
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: know if that's not the manager's fault, I don't know
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: what is the man?
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: What is the manager's fault?
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: When can I criticize the manager If I am watching
• 59:14
  Speaker 8: this team underperform and just not being able to string
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: together wins making the same stupid decisions, they are getting slaughtered.
• 59:22
  Speaker 8: I did some research on the numbers. They are getting
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: absolutely obliterated in the sixth inning of baseball games, right
• 59:29
  Speaker 8: when they are subbing out their best hitters for their
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: worst hitters, and right when they're trying to transition from
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: their starting pitching to.
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: Their relief pitching.
• 59:36
  Speaker 8: Those are pivot points that the manager controls, and they
• 59:39
  Speaker 8: are failing every single day, it feels like in that
• 59:43
  Speaker 8: point in the game. And it's just I have nothing
• 59:46
  Speaker 8: against Dan Wilson. I have fond memories of Dan Wilson
• 59:49
  Speaker 8: as a child. He is a Mariner Hall of Famer.
• 59:52
  Speaker 8: He is apparently an eighty grade human being that everybody
• 59:56
  Speaker 8: who talks to you says he's a wonderful man. I
• 59:58
  Speaker 8: bear him no ill will. The the process through which
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: he was hired, the fact that there was apparently no
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 8: vetting of any kind or any sort of search before
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 8: he was hired, coupled with the obvious struggles the're going
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 8: to come from somebody that's never managed in baseball before,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 8: and seeing it play out like this at what is
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 8: at least the best championship window this organization has had
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 8: in twenty five years, if not ever. It's really it's
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 8: both very very on brand for the Seattle Mariners and
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 8: deeply frustrating as somebody who would really like them to win.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: I like those stats, those six inning stats, because I
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: texted you guys on Saturday when I was at the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Rainiers game. Superfan Heather Mariner. Superfan Heather says, too many stats,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: they don't matter. Tell Nathan and Chris that Monday. So
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you that right now.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: The Mariners have the twenty second worst ERA the third
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: time through the opposing bats lineup. So they get through
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 8: the first the lineup the first few times just fine.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: They come back around the third time and they get
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: absolutely crushed. And that's when you needed to make adjustments
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 8: figuring out how to match up, and they just can't
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: do it.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: They get as they would say, Mollywap, you should name
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: a show after that. Mullywap Monday brought to by Simply
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Sales Simply Sail dot com Mollywap fifteen to check out
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: for your discount. I do want to come back to
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: actually that number in a second. But Chris, we go
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: back to something you said. I don't want to forget this.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: I think it is an interesting dynamic with this organization.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: First of all, I saw some I met thing with
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: something on social media. I think it was one of
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: our Instagram posts that we put up there, equiped from
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: the show, and somebody said, they're not an organization that's
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: not serious about winning. All they care about is bobbleheads.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: And it's the same criticism, that same thing you hear
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: all the time. I know enough people in the organization.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: You know enough people in that organization, Chris, that's not
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: the case. I don't know anybody.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Owners are different than people in the organization. Okay, if
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: you tell me an owner doesn't care about anything besides
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: the bottom line, I'll dance with you. But whether it's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: the guy in the business side who does care about
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: the bottom line, Kevin Martinez, or whether it's justin Jerry
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: and anybody else, they care about winning like they care
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: about winning. So don't ever tell me they don't care
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: about winning. No, but here's a problem with that. At
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: some point, you have to make tough decisions. And you
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: mentioned the popularity of Dan Wilson, do you think if
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: this man this is a very hypothetical and I don't
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: I put in a bad situation. But if the managers
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: was Jeff Johnson, who worked in the Cardinals organization and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: was a triple A manager for sugar Land a couple
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: of years ago and now was a Manor's manager, and
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: he had the same Game seven Bizarro decision everything else
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: that Dan Wilson did, do you think it would be
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: an easier decision.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: I think so. Of course, Jeff Johnson or Parju's or
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: who are they hired, Hardy Wood wouldn't have gotten hired
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 6: in the first place in that situation, so it would
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: be a lot easier because you know, the vetting process
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: just didn't work. I think the ultimate thing here and
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 6: this is not meant to be a huge shot at
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: the organization. I think the problem is is that making
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 6: this decision is it's asking an awful lot of the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: sustainability of Jerry Depoto and Justin Hollander if you make
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: that change. Because if you make that change and then
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 6: it doesn't work, oh, you're really putting stuff on the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: line now because he is a popular guy in that clubhouse.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: I'm not in there. But I've talked to enough people
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 6: to know that the players like Dan Wilson. So if
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: this doesn't work, you're talking about a lot of stuff.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: But to answer your question, absolutely, one thousand percent. If
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 6: this is just Joe Q interim who was managing the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: Seattle Mariners, I think this decision is a hell of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: a lot easier.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you bring up the popularity and that was
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: the criticism of service, right, that was the service criticism.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: He lost the clubhouse.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: He lost the clubhouse. I think now the organization in
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: this town that has made more coaching changes than anybody
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: in a shorter period of time would be our friends
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: of Seattle Kraken, my other employer, and they would criticize
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: a lot for it. But I can tell you this,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: when when Dave Hackstall was fired, there wasn't a tear
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: shed by anybody in the locker room, in the organization,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: in the front office selling tickets, nobody was shedding a tier.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: When Dan Bilsman was let go, it was a different feeling,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: but it was the same like, yeah, this guy's over
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: his skis, doesn't know what he's doing. It's not fifteen
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: years ago when he had Sydney and the rest of
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: the crew in Pittsburgh and won a Stanley Cup. It's
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: this players did not worry about that. So that brings
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: us Dan Wilson, Nate. If that's the case, which I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: believe it is what Chris said and everyone is in
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: there at the clubhouse, it tells us this. Those guys
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: got to pick it up because if this is a
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: guy you really want, well, prove it, Nathan, prove it.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: Oh absolutely. And this team is the I think I saw.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: They have the worst batting average with runners in scoring
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: position in Major League Baseball. I mean, you go, you
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 8: look at yourself in the mirror right there, and it's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 8: like I I can do the like twenty thousand foot
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: view of the advanced statistics all day every day. But
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 8: I also played a fair amount of baseball, and I
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 8: know when there's a guy on second and third and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: less than two outs, if you don't get that run in, man,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 8: you're holding yourself responsible. And that's your job as a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 8: baseball player to do it. And these guys are not
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 8: getting it done. Every single game. It feels like you
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 8: get to the fifth inning and it's one nothing or
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 8: one to one or two nothing. I mean, god forbid
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 8: they ever just jump on a pitcher and put a
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 8: game out of reach by the second or third inning.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: And you're right, it's on them to do it. They're
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: going to have to step up and make the plays
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 8: at the high leverage points, which is where they're really
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 8: failing right now. And that's the also the point that
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 8: makes the manager look the worst when you fail, because
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 8: those are the points that everybody remembers. If there's ever
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: another option, and if there was another guy that could
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 8: have been there, if Luke Rayley could have been hitting
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 8: instead of Rob Refsnyder, They're gonna look at Dan, even
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 8: though you can make an argument that the responsibility lies
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 8: with a guy like Rob Refsninder who hasn't performed. He
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 8: hasn't played the way that he has played statistically throughout
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: his career. So it's gonna be really tough. To your
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: point in I don't think. I do think it would
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 8: be an easier decision to move on from a manager.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: I think that the Marina's track record, and this is
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 8: not necessarily a shot at them, It's mostly just an
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 8: observation of fact. They don't They are not reactionary. They
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 8: are going to let things have time before they make choices.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: They give guys like Donovan Solano a lot of time
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 8: to figure this stuff out. Scott Servis was here for
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 8: ten years, Jerry Depoto has been here for twelve. Kevin
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 8: Mather was given an entire weekend to just hang out
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 8: before everybody decided whether or not what he had said
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 8: was bad enough to actually let him resign. So they
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 8: don't make quick decisions in Seattle. That is both a
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 8: good and a bad thing. I think from an organizational standpoint, well,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 8: and they have to be harder, but I still don't
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: think they do it well.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: Fellas. They also have the they have a little bit
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: of leeway because of the year that it is like Nate,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: like you mentioned, if in a normal year you're six
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: out of the Ale West and you're three or four
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: out in the Wildcard, it's not a normal year in
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: the American League, which just four teams are above five hundred.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: I mean that's so's they do have that going for them,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: but it's taught like again, I'll just go back like
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: this is not something we do on this show. I
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: want to emphasize that. I mean, for all the stuff
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: I hear people talking about and things like Hey, you
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: know you got no. No, we don't go after dude's
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: jobs on this show. We just don't. And I don't
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: think we're even doing that right now. But I think
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: it's a conversation that needs to be had when our
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: morning show, who has a great relationship down at Spring
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: traunning earlier with those guys as saying he's a bad manager.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty strong statement and as are others as well.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: All Right, cold Emerson's up, let's talk about something good
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: and how long is he here? I also brought this
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: up earlier. I kind of see the cal rally going
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: on the injured list as a net positive. I'll explain
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: why do you guys and see if you agree when
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: we come back to and then Chris, you can tell
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: us why the white socks and all of a sudden
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: are decent? Like, what the hell's going on there? Real quick?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Dawn Mattingly fifteen and four since taking over for the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Phillies fifteen and four? Interesting, Maybe it does make a difference.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: We'll come back more and more what Monday next.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Now back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Cracking and the Twelfth Man, Brought to you by Seattle's
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: closest snow Call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: Real quick, I want to hit this this real fast
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: before we get to the neat memestaps. We like Sunday
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: Night Baseball now on NBC. I do.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: I kind of liked it, yes, but you're asking somebody
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 6: who is employed by NBC. So imagine if I said.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 8: No, I'm crashing on me yesterday. So I'm biased against it.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 8: And I still thought the broadcast was fine.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. All right. I mentioned this before
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: the NET I see this as the net positive calendar,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: and Chris tell me, if I'm just out to lunch,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: he wasn't helping you. Hasn't helped you all year, hasn't
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: done I mean, I know, behind the plate, I'll give
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: you that the defensive stuff, okay, but offensively he's I mean,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: not much matters between him and Mitch Carver. And that's
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: really sad. Like that's a scary topic of discussion. He
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: was not right physically. Net positive get off. We talked.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: I think we talked about this last week. Do we
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: not like, hey, get get healthy, like cal get healthy.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: I like the fact they put him on the injured list.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: Just don't do I think that they said, Hey, the
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: first five days, you're not doing anything because Chris they
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: need him the second half of the season, don't they?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, did you? I mean, if you watch
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: this weekend, did you see a lineup that looked better
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: without Big Dumper? Like, there's no way in eighties that
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: you could come to that conclusion. Here, here's what I
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: will say. They will miss his defense a lot, they
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 6: will miss his framing, they will miss that he's a
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: better thrower than guard. And I think he's a better
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: communicator than Garver from the people that I've talked to,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: And that's not really a shot at Garver more than
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: a compliment for Raleigh, right. And I will also point
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: out that before them sit down where he missed three
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: days and whatever, and then he goes, oh, for what
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 6: I believe it was over thirty six something along those lines,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 6: he was starting to swing the bat better. He was
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: ten for twenty nine and he was I think he
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: hit three or four homers in that time. So ultimately,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: because of that, that's why I say yes. Because asking
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 6: a catcher to play through restrained oblink is asinine. It's malpractice.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 6: So get him healthy because you need your one hundred
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: percent dumper to be able to do the things that
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: I demand that they do. Yeah, asking him to play
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: through that injury was insane. You know. You know what
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 6: some of this is on Big Dumper two because there
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 6: was a bunch of articles written about the Mariners trust
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 6: cal Rawly. They trust him with his body, they trust
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 6: him to make the right decisions. Homeboy, you made the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: wrong decision. It was the bad decision to keep playing
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 6: through a strained oblique. And yes, the adults in the
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: room should have told Big Dumper, no, you can't do
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: this right now, and they should have done it sooner.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: But cal Raley's got to be a little less selfish
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: there and say I need to go get on the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: shelf and make myself one hundred percent so I'm ready
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: to roll for the postseason and the second half of
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: this year because it's gonna matter a lot.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, Nathan, I think the thing is, it's
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: it's like you applaud the guy, and you know, athletes
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: that want to play through stuff in the toughness level
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: because we live in a world of the NBA and
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: and when guys load management, guys taking days off, missing
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: play out whatever it is, right, I mean, and that's
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: you do. I can so the three other major sports
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: don't worry about stuff like that. The NBA does, so
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: I applaud guys, and baseball players sometimes don't have, you know,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: the best reputation for being quote tough. But there's a
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: difference between being tough and just being negligent and hurting
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: your team. So he's on the injure list. Nathan, you
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: were pointing you agree with Chris.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I the balance point between the thing with Cal
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 8: is that we know Cal has played through injuries before.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: He's a major league catcher. He's been basically catching almost
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 8: every day for the last three years. You don't do
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: that without get it going through pain, and that's the
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 8: tough thing. I was mostly agreeing with Chris that I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 8: think the adults in the room needed to sit him
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 8: down earlier, because I just think that the way that
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 8: Cal's mindset, that's such a fine line as an athlete
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 8: to say, well, I'm hurt, but I'm not going to
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 8: make it worse by continuing to play, and wow, I'm hurt.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 8: I need to sit down like that. These guys are
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 8: not wired to be able to have that level of
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 8: nuance with their physical ability. If KL can strap on
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: the gear, he's gonna want to play, and there needs
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 8: to be somebody the marriers can say they trust him
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 8: all they want. That's great. I'm sure that they do.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: They shouldn't completely trust him, and you shouldn't trust any
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 8: athlete to do that. And that's not a criticism of
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 8: the athlete. That's just athlete mindset says, if I can go,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 8: I'm going to go, especially as the team leader, and
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: especially as a catcher, which is the most injury prone
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: position anyway. They're always hurt in some way.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: For bumps and bruises are one thing, but when you've
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: got you know, muscle tissue things like that, then it's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: you know that just it doesn't seem to work. It
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: just doesn't seem to work.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Everybody needs to be telling him that want money brought
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: to my Simply Seattle. Simply Seattle Mollywop fifteen at checkout
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: for your discounts. Simply Seattle dot com for all of

• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: on which I won't mention other than he's got a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: cool sweatshirt on for some people. All right, Chris, let's
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: get to the pitching staff with real quick before we're
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: done the starting the rotation. Uh, six man not a
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: six man piggyback. Here we go, Kirby and uh, Kirby
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: and uh and Gilbert get rocked over the weekend. Where
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: do you want to go?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: Do you want to talk about Colt Emerson? We will,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: we will before we're we will, we will, yeah, we will, Okay, yeah, okay,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: just wanted to make sure, yes, yes, yes, the rotation.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 6: There's been some good stuff. Boy, it's really frustrating to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 6: watch this lineup the third time through. And Nathan brought
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: up the stats like they have just gotten shellacked, and
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 6: I don't I need to do a deeper study on
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 6: how much of it is predictability, Like if teams are
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: picking up patterns. I don't think it's a tipping pitches thing.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 6: I don't even really think it's like the stuff just
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: isn't good enough to get the third time through, but
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 6: they are just getting clawbird clawberd clobberd. And there are
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: you know a bunch of stats about how the third
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: time through is always the most difficulty. But it shouldn't
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: be this difficult. It shouldn't be like the difference between
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 6: like being one of the best pitching staffs in baseball
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: to all of a sudden pitching like you're in Double
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: A Arkansas. Like it's just such a massive difference. I'm
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: encouraged by most of what I've seen. I thought Bryce
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: Miller looked really solid for the first five innings of
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: his start. Thought it was a massive mistake for Dan
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 6: Wilson to let him continue after those five innings because
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: the signs of ruggles were there. But it's mostly encouraging,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: but there is some frustration there by why they are
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 6: so flip and bad once the lineup gets a chance
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 6: to see them more than a couple of times.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: Mate.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing that you got
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 8: to really ask because it's the same group that it
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 8: has been for I mean, there's no surprises here. This
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 8: is buying large outside of Emerson Hancock deciding that he's
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 8: a strikeout pitcher. Now, this is the same group of
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 8: guys and it has been for the last four years,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 8: and this the third time through the order penalty exists.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 8: It exists for all pictures everywhere pretty much it hasn't
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 8: been this extreme for this group ever as it is
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 8: right now, and I don't know what that is my
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 8: there's a possibility. I was looking into it a little bit.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 8: This rotation has, by orders of magnitude, the lowest walk
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 8: rate in all of baseball among anti starting rotation, which
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 8: is great. But I do wonder if there's a point
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: where they're working so hard at avoiding walks at all
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 8: costs that they get through that third time of the order,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 8: and when the command drifts a little bit instead of
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 8: just kind of nibbling at the corners, now you're getting
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 8: too much of the plate and then blamo. And then
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 8: also there's just I'm seeing stuff like I don't know
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 8: why George Kirby had to give up. However many extras
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: give Saturday before he got pulled. I mean this, I
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 8: don't want to circle it back to a topic we
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 8: already discussed. Straight ability to mitigate damage that has not
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 8: necessarily been exercised with the rotation.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: All right, if you can, can we do one more segment? Fellas,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: I'm asking for a friend. Her name is Jessman. H Hey, guys,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: it tells me that we knew need to take a
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: commercial because we do need. I had on the list
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: the cool thing this weekend, cold Emerson coming up, and
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: I do think it'd be good. This is where we
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: lean on our guy that does prospects, Rotal World. Hell well,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentleman, NBC Sports Mile. Why Nathan not Nathan
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Chris Crawford, because cold Emerson is not me? No, definitely
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: not you. But we do need to lead on Christ.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's fair to say we're
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: excited about cold Emerson. What are the expectations realistically for
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: emer And then what can you do to stick around
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: over the next what is it ten days, Chris? Yet,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: over the next ten days, what can you do? We'll
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: talk about that and wrap things up. Look ahead of
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: the White Sox series, the juggernaut that is the Chicago
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: White Sox series. We'll do that next.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: Now, back Dean Furness on your home for the Huskies
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Cracking and the Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Closest Snow Call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ r FM.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: All right, I apologize the guys for keeping around for
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: the whole hour, but I do this is this is
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: when I'm getting text from people that are I'll just
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: say when I'm getting text from people that I like
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: their I trust their opinion, I value their opinion, and
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: they say this is a good show today, then we
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: keep it going because we got to talk Cold to Emerson.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: All right, I mentioned this. I got a chance. I
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: went down to Cheeniy Stadium with some friends on Saturday
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: night celebrates my buddy Darren's birthday. Outside of the fact
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: that it was forty two degrees in raining, it was awesome.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: And I said that the first segment Ben Nelson, the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: group down at Cheenie stand at the Rainier is doing
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: an unbelievable job, Like get down there when the weather's good.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Enjoy game. We watched the Sugarland Express and but it
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: was fun because we stuck around through an hour and
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: forty five minute rain delay to start the game because
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: I want to see Cold Emerson. I guess I didn't
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: have to stick around because he's going to play in
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: the big leagues the next day. Chris, what are what
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: are the realistic expectations for him?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's a really good question. I would say the
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: realistic expectations are solid average regular, a guy who helps
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 6: you more than hurts you with the bat, a guy
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: who helps you more than hurts you with the glove,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: and I think he's certainly capable of more, and he's
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: certainly capable of less. This is a very young player
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 6: who was and I hate you know, batting average is
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: what it is. But he's in two fifty five in Tacoma.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: It's not like he was just tearing the world on fire.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 6: He had a good on base percentage and he's slugging
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 6: pretty well too, And I really am hoping that this
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: is not a case where the Mariners are deciding to
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: just transfer everything over and go power over hit, because
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: I don't think that's going to work for cold Emerson.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 6: But I expect solid defense, I expect very solid base running,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: and I expect good but maybe not great offense from
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: him in his first taste. But it's really cool to
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: see him up and you know, a chance to play
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: your first game on Sunday night baseball. I'm sure the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: Mariners were well aware of that potential opportunity, and I
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: don't blame them for taking advantage of it either, But
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: I think realistic expectations are a solid average regular.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Player Nathan what are you looking forward to with cold Eerson.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 8: Well, I think when Chris is saying that he's going
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 8: to be a solid glove guy, the cool thing is,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 8: and I'm not saying this to be a jerk, that's
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 8: going to make him one of the better defenders on
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 8: this team. Suum like it's it's going to stand out
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 8: the level, not just not just the fact that he
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 8: can make plays, but just the fact that he's a
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 8: he's a good athlete, and he's young, so he's in
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 8: his athletic prime. He'll get around the diamond the way
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 8: that other guys are struggling to do so. And he's
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 8: got the arm strength to get the ball across the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 8: diamond too, which is great. I love that in theory,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 8: if he does not get swallowed alive as a twenty
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 8: year old in his major league debut, which and I
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: want to emphasize, if that happens, that doesn't mean he's
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 8: a fail prospect. So if he has a rough go here,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: just everybody'd be cool. He's twenty years old. But I
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: love the fact that this guy has got such a
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 8: well rounded game, like he's just going to bring value.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 8: It reminds me of like a comp would be kind
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 8: of like a faster Kyle Seeger, kind of of an
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 8: experience where there's just there's not really great at anything,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 8: but also kind of good at everything. So I'm not
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: a scout, I'm not a prospect guy, but I've loved
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: this guy since the day they drafted him, and so yeah,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 8: I think that the idea of him becoming that kind
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: of not this year, but becoming that, like, I don't know,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 8: top ten ish at his position year in and year out,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 8: a player who makes maybe two to four All Star
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 8: Games in his career. I love that for the Seattle
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 8: Mariners that and I love that for us as fans.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 8: It could be a really fun career to watch.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting thing, Chris. If he ends up being
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: Kyle Seger, that's good, right.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, And you know, don't think of the end
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 6: of Kyle Seeger's career. This guy was just like doing
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: everything he can to just sell out for power to
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: be valuable. But if he ends up being that type
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 6: of player, I think that's a wonderful thing. And I
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: think he has a higher ceiling than that. Okay, but
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: that could be the floor there, which is pretty exciting.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 6: By the way. Wearing number four. I'm pretty disappointed. I
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: guess they're not going to retire Mark mcmore's.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: Number or Harold Ronalds disrespect.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm okay with that one, but I'm not okay
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: with Mark. He's a very important part.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 5: Of my child.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: God, uh, Chris, Why the hell of the Chicago White
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Sox at least decent at baseball now?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: Because they hit the piss out of the baseball baseball
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: right now. They have Ding Dong Johnson's all over the place.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: And I will go back and say it, I wanted
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 6: to Taco murraa coami so freaking bad, and a lot
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 6: of organizations passed on this guy, and I get it.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: I think he's striking out in about one hundred and
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: seven percent of his plate appearances, but he still has
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 6: hit seventeen home runs. But they've got guys like him,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 6: Colson Montgomery, Chase Maydroff is going to be a pain
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 6: in that took us for a long long time. They've
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: got some guys who can really hit, and then they
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: have some pictures that have been Davis Martin might be
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: the cy young right now. They don't get to face
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 6: Davis Martin, thank goodness this time. But the White Sox
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: have some bashers, and the Mariners need to be careful
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: because if you leave pitches in the middle of the play,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: if you are like Nathan was talking about, more concerned
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: about not walking guys than anything else, well you might
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: watch them walk around the bases.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 8: The White Sox have hit the second most home runs
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 8: in baseball, by the way, too fewer than the Los
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 8: Angeles Dodgers, So I think it's pretty clear what the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 8: game plan there is.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: They get Brian wo tonight, who had the one little
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: blip on the radar screen against Kansas City's last two Stars.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: So he's been really good, gone six innings quality stars
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: both times, given up just two runs in those two starts.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: So I mean they so wu goes tonight. Just you
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: got to get this thing going. I mean, there's just
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: no doubt about that. Along the way, I haven't seen
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: a line up. I was kind of waiting to see
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: the lineup here if it would come out while we're
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: on the air. They're just gonna hold off. We're not
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: gonna give those guys out. We're not gonna give that.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: I would assume.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 7: This.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: The real quick thing for me would be this, do
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: you think there's much or anything that Chris that cold
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: Emerson can do that even when Donovan comes back, they
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: make a move and say Revoss goes down, or do
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: you think he's just here for the duration of Donovan
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: being on the eyel.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 6: I think that's going to totally depend on how he
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 6: looks like and more than the stats. It's gonna be
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 6: how he looks, how how comfortable he looks. If he
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: acclimates himself, well, then I think cold Emerson is here
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: to stay. If he scuffles, it is not a big
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: deal to send the guy back to Triple A and
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 6: go to work on things. They We have seen for
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: every Julio Rodriguez, who I know is bad start to
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 6: his rookie year, But for every one of those, there
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: are a bunch of guys like Mike Trout and players
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 6: who just really struggled in the first taste of MLB action.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: But if he acclimates himself, Colt Emerson makes the Seattle
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 6: Mariners a hell of a lot better and you don't
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: have to worry about service time stuff. The contract that
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 6: he signed and everything else has taken that away, so
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: you're not worried about that type of thing. If he
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: makes you better, he needs to stick on the roster
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 6: no matter when Brendan Donovan comes back, because he's a
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: lot better player than Leo Ribas. I'm sorry, I can't
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 6: watch the Leo Riobas experience anymore. Thank you for that hit,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: thank you for some really pesky at bats, but you
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: cannot be a starting player on the Seattle Mariners in
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 6: the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty six.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: And you know why that is because Chris. Let me
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: go back to episode one of twenty twenty six. Yeah,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: what did Chris Crawford say?
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: I demand it. I absolutely demand it. And that's why
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 6: I'm not willing to put up with this. And you
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 6: can talk all you want about how, hey they're two
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 6: games back, Hey the whole conference sucks. That's not good
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: enough for me. I need to see a baseball team
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 6: that looks like he can win the gosh damn World Series.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 6: And I have not seen a team that can win
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 6: the gosh damn World Series at all in the Year
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: of Our Lord twenty twenty six.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 8: Really quick, and I totally agree with all of that.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: I have similar demands. I expect to be disappointed because
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 8: that's traditional. But if you want something to watch on
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: the short term in the here and now. Just wanted
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 8: to update everybody because I know everyone's on the edge
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 8: of their seat. The Manders are facing left handed starting
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 8: pitchers today and tomorrow, which means our boy Rob Refsnyder
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 8: is going to get plenty of played appearances. The tracker
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 8: currently has him had seven hits on the season, putting
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 8: him fifteen hits behind AJ Pollock in nineteen fewer games
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 8: than Aj has played as a Seattle Mariner. So we
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 8: can get Rob a good week here. We can get
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 8: him three or four hits in this week. We can
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 8: get him back on track. I know everyone is really
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 8: glued to their seat here. We are gonna get Rob
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 8: Refschneider past AJ Pollock in the year twenty twenty six.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Please and thank you, Chris, the the ref Snyder at
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: bats over the next couple days and the Pollock AJ
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: Pollock Rob ref Schneider Tracker. I feel, I feel my
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: phone will be blowing up with the Mollywop plus Bento
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: text thread that I have going on one of my favorites.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 6: So quickly for my own mental health. Man, I'll check
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: it every once in a while, But if you just
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: see a thumbs up on a random post. It's me
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 6: just saying, yeah, I'm still alive, basically because that thing,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: that thing's dangerous for my health.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: Well, and part of it is we included Benton on it,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: So I think that is what.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: A terrible decision, Except for I love the updates on
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 6: how little Benton is doing in the game, and it's
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: the only thing I really care about anyway.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: My favorite part is the updates on how things are
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: going in Little League period. Like, as you know, when
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: you pointed.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 8: Out, can watch the kids play baseball anymore?
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: What level?
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: It kind of matches everything?
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: Really, what world are we living in when you've now
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: banned red solo cups at a baseball game for for kids? Like,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: what world are we living in? That's the only thing
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: that got me through it, to be honest with you,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: for years, it's r I P.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 6: Toby Keith.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 5: You can.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can be.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 5: You can be.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: Response, Just go sit in the outfield, have every read cup,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: do your thing where you go. Yeah, apparently on bad
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: Apple ruins it for everyone. Well, let's remember he's in
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: Snowholmish County. All right, Oh yeah, let's just remember that
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: he's up in snow Holmes.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Now does it make more sense? Okay, Chris, six games
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: this week, three White Socks, three Royals. What do they
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: need to do?
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 6: Foreign two? They got to have a winning week. They
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 6: have to start putting together some winning weeks. I hate
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 6: that they play the Royals so freaking much because those
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 6: games are never normal. With the way this season is going,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 6: there's going to be like a nineteen eighteen game that
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 6: they win or lose. That just sends me to my
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 6: grave and I leave my card collection to Nathan. Is
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: all I can say is like, this is just going
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 6: to be such a disasterrous week. I feel like, but
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 6: you gotta go forard two. You gotta have winning weeks.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: The Royals are the last play team in the Central
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: They're only a game and a half behind Seattle right now.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 6: Bonkers, it's ten pounds of crap in a five pound bank.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: My friend, thank you for Andrews is smiling right now
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: and laughing as he's changing in dirty diaper. All right,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: Nathan thought the week.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 8: For four and two, And I really can't emphasize enough
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 8: that if it's anything less than that now, I mean,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 8: it's fine if they go three and three or two
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 8: and four whatever, like we'll just complain about this in
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 8: a week. But to Chris's point, games against the White
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 8: Sox and the Royals for whatever reason, are just fraught
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 8: with emotional turmoil and mental high jinks. And I just
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: think that this is going to be a completely miserable
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: week in a way that most Mariner weeks are not
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 8: even for the Mariners unless.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: They go four and two or better.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be the exception from Meno after that, that's
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: going to be I don't like it.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna have to check in the middle of
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 8: next week after the A series too, that's gonna be.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna find a day next week. Maybe it'll
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: be Tuesday early because we got Memorial Day next Monday.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: So and I'm with you. I think this is an
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: interesting week. I'll all just circle back. If people just
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: tuning in, listen to the first at half hour today
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: for segment. I think it's an important week for the manager.
• 1:29:02

  Speaker 2: Amazon World Cup. Probably cocka calf?
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: Is it a is it a cup?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think, well, well, one they brought in here,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: when they bring in here the Club World Cup. But
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: that thing they wouldn't even let us look at, like
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: we had to say, like fifteen feet away from it.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: So I think the Stanley Cups unique in that regard.

• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: Plus it's just been.
• 1:30:31

  Speaker 4: You go.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: One thing, Jessman McIntyre that I did want to mention ye,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: just to kind of wrap up our moulliwop conversation. I
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: thought it was a I'm so hesitant in this in
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: this world. I hate God, I hate I hate talking
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: about people losing their job.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 4: I just do.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: It's not something and people listen to me for almost
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: twenty years here on the station. That's not something I
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: make a habit of doing.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know how often I've already called for a
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: guys job. To be honest with you, thought about it,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: and we're not. I'm not saying that either, like with
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: with Dan Wilson right now, I'm just saying that the
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: conversation with Nathan and Chris. I thought was strong because
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: it might be a big three games for the manager.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: It really might be.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: Tensions are high down there.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: You were there yesterday, I was, and you said, you
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: said it felt you kind of felt it right in
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse. And then they went out lost again, so
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: they'll probably even higher. I do know this, and listen,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: Baseball is a weird sport because you got to try,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: you try hard anyway, like you don't want to ever
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: have a bad at bad. It's not like in basketball
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: where you know, I just had a five minute stint
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: out there, I didn't really give it all, especially on
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: the defensive end, or hockey where I had a couple
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: of bad shifts and just you know, got out, works
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: got you know, lost a couple one on one battles,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: what have you. Baseball is a little different way, but
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: so individual, so individual. You know, I tried to get
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: to the ball, I couldn't physically couldn't get there. But
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: with with baseball, if you know all the reports like
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: Dan is very very popular with with the guys in
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse, they just got to do a better job
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: for him because at some point, because of the expectations
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: for this team, is.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 5: They just have to do better.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: They can't, they can't keep just scuffling around, And yeah,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: it makes it helps because this year your team is
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: playing in a really bad league with a really bad division,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: and so you can you can screw around for most
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: of the season still win the division. The question is,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: is the manager of the guy that can make the
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: right decisions and the biggest times of the game in
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: the biggest games of the year. Last year the answer
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: ended up being no.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 5: In Game seven.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: He gets a second chance this year. There have been
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: too many opportunities this season in which people have that
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: are far more knowledgeable than me have questioned in game decisions. Now,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: I will also not lay that entirely on Dan Wilson.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: I think at some point you got to look at
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: You've got other guys in the dugout. You got other
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: guys on your coaching staff, pitching coach, bench coach, all
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: those things. But I think it's a big three day,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: three games for him. So we'll touch on that. The
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rii story, just real fast, cool story before I
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: gets back to the Seahawks and some stuff I want
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: to touch in on the with the schedule that I
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: didn't get to last week, so I wasn't here. He's
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: a really quiet, soft spoken guy. Golf's not for everybody,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: and one of the reasons golf isn't for everybody, it's
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: not for every sports fan. If you don't play, you're
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: probably not a huge golf fan. If you do play,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: you might be a fan, but you don't not a
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: fan of some of the guys that win their country clubs, snobs,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: kids grew up with a ton of money, all that
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: type of thing. I get that, that's largely a big
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: part of it. Aaron Rai's not one of those. He's unique.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: He has club iron iron covers on all of his irons.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: He wears two gloves, but the iron thing is one
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: that got a lot of attentions. We can get his story.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: It's a great story. He does that because his dad
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: and his mom, very much working class folks, immigrated from India,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: ended up living in England. He's an English resident, first
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: Englishman to win in forever or ever win there one
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: hundred years. And he has the head covers on because
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: when he's growing up, his dad spent so much money
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: on his clubs so his kid could play that he
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: didn't want to damage the clubs, so we had head
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: covers on all the irons, which most people don't have,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: and some guys like look at it, and there's people like,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: why do you what's Aaron Ry? What's he doing? He's
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: got that club head covers to it. It's in tribute
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: to his dad.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know the etiquette of the sport enough to
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: know that that would be an odd thing to see.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: And he did it to protect the clubs that were
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: such a massive investment for his own family so he
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: could play and it pays off because the guy ends
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: up being the PGA champion. I think it's just cool.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: He's a lot more laid back, a lot more mellow,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: comes from much more humble background than many golfers do
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: on the tour. He's a guy you can root for.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: He's a guy. In fact, just two weeks ago the
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: tournament before this, there was two tournaments in the weekend.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: One was what they call a signature event, top guys
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: playing no cut, everybody gets paid. PJA started doing that
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: with the live stuff and trying to anyway, he didn't
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: even qualify for that. He was outside the qualification number,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: so he had to play in a smaller event that weekend,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: so you can root for this guy. And good for him.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: Man paying tribute to his dad. And he said, I'm
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: keeping those things on the second he got to the
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: PGA tour.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: He didn't have to.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: He gets free clubs. They don't, They don't pay for
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: their clubs. Whoever you're whoever you're playing for. Taylor made callaway.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: I like, callaway doesn't matter. You get the club whatever
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: you want. He that wasn't him, so good for him.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: All Right, you can play that music again. Pump back,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: let's go, let's transition.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, let's do this.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: So here's the deal I was I mentioned this earlier.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't get a chance to break down the schedule.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: What what was the consensus that you got from everybody
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: with the schedule?
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: Lass, I'm easier first half than second half for sure.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 3: A lot being talked about them having.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: So many national games not an international game, which is favorable,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 4: good for the schedule. Danny on on Friday, and I
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: know that they did hard knocks and he kind of said,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: you know, he thinks they took one for the team there,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: because even though it's not an official rule, if you
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: do hard knocks, then you likely are not going to
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 4: be forced into an international game.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: And they've changed some of the rules. They did change
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: that one, and they changed the one about every team
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: having to play national games and all that kind of
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: stuff in prime time. So but yeah, I think we
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: talked about that before I went a vacation that they
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: It really felt like there was a little give and take.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: We don't want to go to England or wherever.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: I thought they would just because of the dirty like
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: a connection. I thought that they would have one there.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: It's a competitive disadvantage for a team in Seattle.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: It is because they're traveling too time zone.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: Just I don't know this for a fact, but just
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: being around Mike McDonald long enough, he doesn't care. He
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: wants to win football games. What gives me the best
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: chance to win a football game? Not going overseas?
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, that Super Bowl champion he has the right.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Can I deal with hard knocks? I'd rather not, But whatever,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: we move on. So all right, So here's what I
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: looked at. What matters to me. Back to back road games.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing I always look for when you
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: get back to back road games. They have two and
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: a half, I say two and a half on Washington early,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: and then they do have another one, but there's a
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: bye weekend between they play at Vegas and at San Francisco,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: so I don't really count that one. And then this
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: is the thing I just hated. This is a part
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: of the schedule I mentioned before, the Rams and the
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: Rams two out of three at the end. This is
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: the third year in a row that they have ended
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: the season with back to back road games. Third year
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: in a row back to back road games to end
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: a season what like what like twenty four, twenty five
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: and now twenty six back to back road games to
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: end of season.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: You know what they were doing by scheduling the Rams
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: last I get.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: That, But why not flip flop them? Seattle plays in
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: La on Christmas and the Rams come here to end
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: the season. I got again. Three straight years the Seahawks
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: have finished the season with back to back road games
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: and again playoff game playoff teams, and that three years
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: ago wasn't that way, but last year Carolina playoff team
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers playoff team.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: This year they go back to Carolina for Week seventeen,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: which is a sixteenth game of the season.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: For the second year in a row all the way
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: to the East Coast, which I'll get back to that
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: game in a second.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: Whatever when they do play the Rams, it's interesting to
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: the final three games sixteen to eighteen. I mentioned this earlier,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: the Rams great key stretch. This to me is a
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: stretch because I want you to tell me what Corbin
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: said in the second but let me give you this first,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: because I know Corbin had some thoughts on this the
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: other day when he was with you guys. There's a
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: five game stretch weeks four through eight at home against
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: the Chargers, at home against the forty nine Ers at Denver,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: at home against Kansas City, and at home against Chicago.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: So those five games, to me, that is the stretch
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: of the season. Week eight, you're going to come out
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: of Week eight, and where are you at that point?
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: Because Chargers good football team, forty nine Ers good football team.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: Denver probably should have been the super Bowl last year.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: If Nicks doesn't get hurt, Kansas City, if Mahomes is healthy. Oh,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: by the way, ken Walker, if he finally has a
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: running back, they're gonna be okay offensively. Defensively. I got
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: my questions because of the fact both their top corners
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: are gone, but still it's Mahomes's Kansas City and then Chicago,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: who many people believe if they're not the second, they're
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: the third best team in the NFC. That's a hell
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: of a stretch. That stretch, to me, is the most
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: important stretch of the season. You get through that thing
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: and say in those five games one, two, three, four, five,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: you come out of there four and one, you're probably
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: in great shape, but you could easily come out of
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: their two and three. And remember all that matters in
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: the NFL standings. The only thing that matters the right
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: hand column, the lost calumn. That's what matters. That's what
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: matters in the NFL. And where does that loss column
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: look like? Where are you at in that lost calm
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: last season? In that you last season green Bay got
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: in at nine to seven to one as a wildcard team,
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: barely got in and the tie basically got them in.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: You cannot afford more than seven losses in a season
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: if you're going to be a playoff team. But this
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: team doesn't aspire to be a playoff team. This team
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: aspires to be the NFC West champions. So that stretch
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: is really really big. Now, I did say this top
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: destination for the road, It's a no brainer. It's Vegas,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: not even close. It's November fifteenth or Vegas. That's the
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: only that to me, is the only one worth that's
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: worth its weight, and Salt is going to Vegas like
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: it's a horrible road schedule for fans like a whole Yeah,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: that's great. I mean I like, I personally like Philadelphia.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: I think Philadelphia is worth going to a game in.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: It's not. I don't think it's as crazy. And now again,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: I was in a press box, but we walked around
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: enough for live shots in the stadium. I don't think
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: Philadelphie's as bad as people make it out to be.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: I think it's kind of cool to be there with
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere everything else. The problem in Philadelphia night game
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: in December, no thanks, no thank you, what no part
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: of that? No thanks all day every day. I think
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: SOFI is worth going to the last game on January
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: tenth or eleventh, whenever it is. I think so FI
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: is great to go to. I love Charlotte, I love Carolina.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: But there's a decent chance that you're gonna go to
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: that game in January third and the weather's gonna be crap.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: It rains there. It rains there. We've been there when
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: it rains. Otherwise, I think they got one of the coolest.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: I'm a big barbecue guy. I base it on food
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: too well. I was gonna say, and I love me
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: some Max speed Shop. It's kind of like the Farellis
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: of barbecue. It's like a bunch of it's kind of smaller,
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: like a small family owned chain in the Carolinas. I'm
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: in on that. But outside of that, man, it is
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: not a great road schedule at all. Denver, no, thank you.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: I think the stadium is just so Average's why they're
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: gonna get a new one at some point. And at Washington,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: I can tell you right now, that's the last place
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: you want to go. Absolute stadiums in the middle of nowhere.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: Stadium is awful. You want no, you want no part
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: of going to Washington, Arizona. It's going to be one
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five degrees in September twenty. It's a
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: bad road schedule for fans.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. Vegas. Vegas is the.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: One Vegas one so far to everything else. Stay home,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: watch it on TV. That's that's my travel recommendations. For you,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: especially now because flights are expensive, right, you just flew somewhere,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: you use miles. But I's that's it. So that's my schedule,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: that's my hot takes on the schedule. That's all I
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: got for you. That's all I got because at the
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: end of the day, you just got to play our
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: seventeen away you go. The two road games end the
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: season is a little harsh. I do love the rams
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: to the final three. I think that's fun because you
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: get there, you control your own destiny. Unless you've just
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: unless you've really kicked it all year. You got a
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: great opportunity home and then there great opportunity to take
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: care of business. I love that kind of I kind
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: of it almost feels it sort of feels like college
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: football in a sense.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask that, Yeah.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: You get like Ohio State Michigan at the end of
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: the year. Always is a big game, always is a
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: big game. Auburn Alabama used to always be a big
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: game for I'm talking about for standings reasons. Auburn has
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: them in as good lately, but you get my point, right,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: for a while, I mean, there's been a few Apple
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: Cups that have been that way. Back in the old
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: pac twelve. Right, that came down to hey, twenty eighteen,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, right, right, Yeah, like those things. I
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: love the fact that the final game and they've done
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: a great job of this. They have told you what
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: they think the NFL has. They don't think the forty
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: nine ers are in the same category as Seattle on
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: the rams, because that's why the forty nine ers see
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals last game of the year. So overall
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: schedule is what. It is not great for fans to
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: travel to, not places I'd recommend going outside of so
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: far in Vegas. In Vegas, the stadium I think is overrated.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: But it's Vegas and it's November and what the hell,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: get the hell out of Dodge and go down there
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: and have some fun kind of.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 3: The time that people who live in our area.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I go down there. That's yeah. I always
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: say yes to Vegas. I like Vegas. Not everybody does.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: And away you go.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: It just depends on the length of the trip.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: Let's get a breaking because you said we got some
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: talkbacks to get to Yeah, we have a lot of
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: them talkbacks. We get a ton of text as well.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: To check your thoughts coming up next? Do you buy
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: Seattle's closest now?
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: Call me casino and hotel on Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: point three kJ R FM.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 10: The level of yellow. You gotta be concerned, but it's
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 10: what we do every year. Pitching's and hit or miss,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 10: offense non existent. Worst manager in baseball by car and
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 10: we just forced our young superstar up future of the
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 10: franchise yesterday after telling him at one o'clock PM, already
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 10: in full uniform in Tacoma.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 6: Then he had to rush up.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 10: To Seattle because they needed him tonight.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 5: Give me a break.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 10: Dan Wilson is John Stanton's puppet. We have the best
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 10: staff and baseball, albeit some injuries and a little bit
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 10: of struggles, but that's not the main issue.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: We can't hit the ball.
• 1:47:07

  Speaker 2: Bearner's green yellow orange or red went through it all
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: before you go back to the voice text. Here, just
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: a couple of these. It's pretty good this and if
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: you missed our mulliwop segment, especially talking about Dan Wilson,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: that first segment was sensation with those guys two o six.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: Yellow is a concern level, so not too bad. But
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: for Dan Wilson, it's red. There's actually a bunch of
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: those that are saying the same thing, Dan Wilson, red
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: red for Wilson. I think it's gonna remain yellow until
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: they make a change. At Maager Beau. I think Dan
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: Wilson is red. He's holding this thing back. Green. Won't
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: tell anything else how to feel, but not sure. How
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: could it be other than green. That's from our buddy
• 1:48:02

  Speaker 7: cotta kind of color. It's a red yellow orange e. Nick,
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 7: I am very very very concerned. We can't fire the
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 7: manager for the Hall of Famer, We can't hit because
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 7: they have a Hall of Fame manager of the hitting coach.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 7: I just see all sorts of.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: Just that so I got a couple more here two
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: oh six orange, which was number two, like this a
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: second worst one def con three says three six oh
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: six O two is red. Three straight to say red.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: One says bright red orange orange orange red red, Red
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: says the two O six. They're a hot mess, I
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: believe for one person in the manager spot.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 6: Interesting.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of now so looking through this, there's
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of on the text line Dan Wilson criticism.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: We have some more talkbacks, Okay, keep going.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 11: Growing up here in Washington State as a kid, I
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 11: never realized how far we were from other major cities
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 11: until my dad threw all of us kids in the
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 11: back of the station wagon in the early nineteen eighties
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 11: to take a trip from Seattle all the way to Insinada, Mexico.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 11: That's when I discovered how far we were from major cities.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: Brought up earlier than Anthony Rizzo spent a good chunk
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: of the broadcast yesterday ripping on how far away Seattle
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: was from everything else. Beautiful stadium, backhand of compliment, great
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: weather in the summer, back of compliment. But it's so
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: far away, God, I felt we went there.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 5: It was just so far.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, really, dude, you're on a charter exactly. You're on
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: a charter. You're not.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 5: You're not.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: You're not like an NBA player or an NHL player
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: where you're playing back to back games in two different
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: cities three times over the course of a week or whatever.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: It's not the King fella relaxed the TV. But I'm
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: just about is this player And I'm like, you're you're not.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's such a weird. It's just a weird.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know why it bothered me.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: You know what, I'm being very petty. I'll be honest
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: with you. It shouldn't have bothered me, but I do. Look,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: I think part of it is this, like like people
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: always say, I didn't have a brother growing up, but
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: peop always say this, if you have a sibling, right,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: you can pick on the sibling. Nobody else can.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: I can pick on my city. I can pick apart
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: my city all day and every day.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 5: But you can't.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: You cannot stop it. You're not a part of this family,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: all right. You got a couple more.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 6: It looks like this is the ancient mariner again.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: Just listening to Molly Watty and I want to tell
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: you Dan Wilson is a bad manager. Well, yeah, I'll
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: just go back. Nathan and Chris were and contrary to
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: what you may think about, Molly, watt mondays, we do
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: not go around calling for people's heads. They do not
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: make a habit of that, and they didn't. They were
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: right on the cusp of that today. I think he's
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson's manager. Managing this year has been a problem.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: It just has been. That's not up for debate, decision
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: making and what But I want to give down a
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: little bit of like, it's not just him. He's getting
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 2: stuff from upstairs, He's getting stuff from others in the dugout.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: But the hard thing is if the struggles continue and
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: say you get through, I don't know, maybe maybe you know,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: those guys both fought this big week for them. I
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: tend to agree. I think the next three games are
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 2: big for Dan Wilson, for the Mirrors, just more, maybe
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: more Dan Wilson, the bigger picture for the Marrors. You're
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: still two or three games under five hundred by the
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: end of June or even the All Star break. I
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: think I think you have some some long it's some
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: long discussions, some interesting discussions you're gonna have.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 3: Did we get to the use Mariners moves in that
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 3: we're just made?
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 12: No?
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: Can you fire? I'll hang on, hang on, hang on,
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: hang on.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 4: Robinson or Tees has been recalled from TRIPA to come by.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: Patrick Wisdom stated.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: All right, so Mariner's uh falling roster moves. Robinson Ortez
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: recalled from Tacoma. Patrick Wisdom infield Regis stated from the
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 2: ten day and you're Dimingo Gonzalez is option back to
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: Triple A. Leo Revos option to Triple A Tacoma. Brennan
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 2: Davis was option or selected the forty men roster, optioned
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 2: to Triple A to Comma, Davis an interesting story. He's
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 2: a guy that is having a really good year. He's
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: a former first round pick by the Cubs, I'm sorry,
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: second round pick, and he's he was added the spring
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: training roster. They had to put him on the forty
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: man or he could decide to go somewhere else. So
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: Revos they'll going to Triple A ta Coma, and Patrick
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: Wisdom brought back up as your as your utility infielder.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 2: The rest of those things are just other paper moves
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: along the way. Okay, what else again?
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 6: X y M's are totally at an orange. I felt
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 6: they overachieved last year. We're not that good. Gohawks, go Mariners.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: Go Cook's suck at Softy, Jeff gig Hart, thank you
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: for that, Jeh Jef, why do you not like Softy?
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: Your pump them?
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he'll give us a reason to get two
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 4: forty five More than likely, I got a couple more.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 9: Hey, Ian Seattle sports guy here with another update on
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 9: your Seattle sports. The struggles continue for the Mariners and
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 9: Dan Wilson remains on the hot seat, although he is
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 9: popular with the players. The news is are gonna go
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 9: in a different direction.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: And go more negative.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: They'll be interviewing shown Figgins.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: Also, the Mirrors are have announced forty eight more bobblehead nights.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 3: Those include Ritchie Sexon and Scott's.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: Service to focus more on the bobbleheads and take away
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: from the god awful play on the field. Well, all right,
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: we got one more.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 12: So this weekend I was watching the Nature Show and
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 12: they showed an elephant taking a huge dump and I thought,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 12: that's the biggest turn I've ever seen in my life.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 12: And later I was watching the Mariners play, and I thought,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 12: make that the second biggest.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: God, I'll do it.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's how we get where's Clifford at? By
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: the way, Oh, we haven't heard from Clifford lately. Gotta
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: hope you hear from cliff Well, Clifford's already been replaced
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: in the little promo rotation for iHeart with a tennis
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Like a tennis thing? Have you seen that?
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 5: Heard that? Yeah?
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: Where's Clifford at? I want Clifford? I want the Clifford
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 2: promos back, and I want Clifford calling back in on
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: the talkbacks. All right, let me go back to text
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 2: line four nine four five one. Uh, that is it
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 2: coming down? It's text line going through here. Let's see
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: Ian Orange seventy to Red thirty. They're still playing with
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: broken souls from the ALCS. In regards to what your
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: concern level is for the Mariners to six Orange, they
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: need to make coaching changes. It's an interesting one here
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: six If this is actually a World Series contender, we're
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: not even having this conversation to a point. I know
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: what you're saying, but I would say that to a point,
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: we're still having the conversation. The reason we're having the
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 2: conversation is because they the expectation is World Series. It's
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: at least alcs. What has to be now has to
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: be You set the bar last year. It's the same
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: dam team.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 3: Right, Yes, with the absence of not many.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: Let's see two oh six, we can paint the rosiest
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: pictures that it's still fairly early. Not it's a different club.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: It's in a different club. Magic and spirit of last
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: season mostly vantaged, a fading memory, continuing torture of what
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: it is to be an MS fan. I'd ask that person,
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: what if they sweep the next three? Would you feel better?
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 3: I mean that's what it comes down to with baseball.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 4: We've been saying that they did the right things that
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 4: they should do against bad teams, right, the Astros. They
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 4: took care of business there green one and then getting
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 4: swept by the Padres at home not a good look.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 3: But they could turn that.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 4: Around in just one series. Mm hmm, get about five
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 4: hundred and be just fine.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, I see a bunch of things about the people
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: leaving the city. I'm not going to get into that today. Yeah,
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: all right, here we go. Well, it took one all
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: of one week, and to see how the American League
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: stinks narrative is lazy and useless. Can we just remain
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: focused on the ms what they need to do to
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: become a legitimate contenders. The reason we bring up the
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: American League stinks narrative, as you said, is because it's
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: the only thing keeping them in it. I thought what
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: Chris said, and Chris ordinate one of them said is
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: right on. In a normal year, they would be six
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: or seven out of first place in the division, and
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: they would be three or four out of a wildcard
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: spot right now, with plenty of time to make it up,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: but they would be out.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 5: Of it right right. Yeah.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 4: And I mean, obviously Cal has been playing through something,
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 4: so was JP. I mean, Cal's not that JP got
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 4: sent down, but he hasn't been to his potential quite yet,
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 4: and we don't know what he's playing through, do you guys?
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: This is from the three six? So do you guys
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: think that maybe upper management won't fire Dan because it
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 2: could control him and afraid of an experienced manager, it
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: won't have as much control possibility. It's interesting about.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 3: That is there's a lot of text coming in with
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 3: that narrative.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting one because of this. The POTO hired
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: a first time manager in Scott Service. Then he hired
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: a first time manager in Dan Wilson, so they haven't
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: had an experienced manager under this regime. You're right correct, Yeah,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting point that person makes. Let's see lack
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: of contract extensions for GP Logan and George maybe impact
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: and walking them back. I thought one of them had that.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I'm not the big I'm
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not the biggest guy in contracts. I
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: should know that better. Hey, furnace, this is all caps.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: By the way, M's fans need to r E l
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: A Axes. Aaron Rodgers would say, a ton of injuries
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: That's how I know people do talk to text. It's
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 3: because it's trying to do that.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 4: A furnace, he might just be, wait, oh well, if
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be burning just like Jim Rome or something, then.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 3: Might as well be called the furnace.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: Three six. So I'm going a Moscow Red level of
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: concern right now. I think they peaked last year already.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 4: See, I don't think that I think that they are
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 4: building towards what Jerry Depoto has been planning on for
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 4: the last five years, and he might be a little
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 4: late to the party. But I don't think they peaked
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 4: last year. I don't think this was the one off.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 3: I really don't.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: I'll read this one because it's a good one. The guy,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 2: this is a long time listener. Two six. You don't
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 2: call for head coaches to get turfed, but we do
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: have to consider your ernie. Can't era I did call that.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: I did already. Can't fire one hundred percent.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 3: One fair criticism.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 2: I wanted him fire basically the day he got hired.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 2: I maybe a week later, but tell.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 3: You many stories of seeing him not doing his job
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 3: when I was on campus.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: He yeah, that was a Bill Moose special. That was
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: a Bill Moose special. That was There was no reason
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 3: I he was just was not a good coach.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think back, how many guys since, I mean,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: in twenty years since I've been here home Grin no
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: wanted I was when they let him go.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 5: Mora.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 2: I actually said I was actually critical on the air
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: for firing him after one year, which is weird because
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 2: Jim Moore likes to slam me on the air when
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: he comes on with us. Yeah he does. But I
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 2: actually was a fiery dude. I actually said I don't
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 2: think he should have been fired, and then I got
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: I got talked to by at the time Seahawks president
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 2: Todd la Wiki about that how he needed to get fired.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, Oh, well you're getting it from both.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: Mariner managers so many. Who knows, probably a call for
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: some clearing over his skis. I like Lloyd uh Wedge
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: just quit. Yeah, I don't. I think Camp might be
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 2: the one guy that I've actually said fire him. Oh no,
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: Paul Wolf Oh and that pain to me because I
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 2: liked Paul as a guy, his nice dude. But but
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: he yeah, he needs to go. But pro guys, I
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: thought about Dave Haxtall, but I didn't say it.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 4: Out loud, for I would think you just questioned. I questioned, Yeah,
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 4: it wasn't you were calling for a head.

  Speaker 13: But you know this isn't the old White Sox no
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 13: yata that we've had in years past.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 5: So no, no, I don't know. Man. I love when
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 5: people make proclamations this time of the year. I heard
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 5: that Chris Crawford on the year we we gotta go
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 5: four and tour.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: It's all over well, no, listen, listen, list in fairness,
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: in fairness for the last four years. When we wrap
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: it up, I go, what do you want to see
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 2: this week? And so I always and you know, if
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: they always say but then he actually no, actually actually
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: actually a lot of times they have said, I'll say,
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: what do you want to see this week? It's not
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: a five like depending on who you're playing, it's not
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 2: a five and one we're you're having a bad week.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: But I mean, FORI until you win two series, you're fine,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: feeling good, right, all good, all good, right.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 13: I mean I don't like the fact that we're seven
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 13: and one against the Astros in fifteen and twenty five
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 13: against everybody else.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, if I would have told you like four years.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 13: Ago, you'd be at a point in time where you'd
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 13: be saying, thank God we have the Astros in our division,
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 13: I'm not sure you would have bought that.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 5: Right, correct, I'm just not for them. We stink.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: Let me extrapolate some more math out for you. Yeah,
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 2: if we take the Padres out there, fifteen and nineteen, okay,
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: so if you take the right Astros, take the Astros
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: and the Padres outliers out, you're fifteen and nineteen, so
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: you're still four under five hundred.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 5: But yeah, but you still kind of stink, though.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you can't beat a good team. Still, you can't
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 2: beat a good team. It's but I don't know how
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 2: much of it you heard. What's Dave saw I don't
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: want to take your show away. I don't what you're
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 2: doing today. Yeah, Dan Wilson, I'll.

  Speaker 5: Probably have it up there of the poll, by the way,
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 5: coming up in the radio. What's the poll today?
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 13: Approval rating? You know they do like this approval ratings

• 2:04:04
  Speaker 13: Wilson over the weekend.

  Speaker 2: Hang on, I'm gonna find it. Is it your poll?
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just hit it, but it's not turned on
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 5: back in the studio.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 2: So okay, there you go, Dan Wilson approval rating.

• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to give it out. I'm just looking
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 2: at I'm just I'm looking if I should if I
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: should vote.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 5: Just turn my turn my thing of a jigger up,
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 5: will you?
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 3: I'm working.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: Sing them a jigger?
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 5: So approve or do you just turn it on? That's
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 5: all you do?
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 2: All right? All right, there you go.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 5: All right, Apparently it's very difficult to turn it on.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: Try it again. It's okay, try it again.
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 13: There we go into three o'clock hour and there's two
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 13: just two choices I see here.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 5: Approve this option, man, Do you approve or do you disapprove?
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 5: That's it? End the story.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 2: You know what, Now if I were to vote, I
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 2: think I would say disapprove.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 5: Okay, good, well, you're just a big hater.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 2: I am a hater.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 5: And they win the World Series, you can't go to
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 5: the parade?
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 2: Okay? Is that a promise? Is that a promise? I
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 2: don't have to be downtown for five hundred thousand people.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 5: I agree to that.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 13: By the way, if you made me that deal, you said,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 13: here's the deal, man, the Mariners can win the World Series,
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 13: but when they do, you can't go to the parade.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 5: I say, where do I say?
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 2: I'm signing up right now?
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 13: Mantch it on TV Plus with the ridiculous you know,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 13: SPD rules or the Sports Commission rules. Yeah, whatever it was.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 13: During the Seahawks parade, we couldn't do Jack Squad.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 2: Actually I changed my mind. Well, first of all, I
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: won't have to be at the parade. I'll be at
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 2: Jimmy's on First and we'll be doing everything there. I
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: want to be a part of it, because nothing entertained
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 2: me more in the last calendar year than when you
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: and the police officers were battling about where you could
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 2: go for the Seahawks parade.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 5: You want to go to jail, you want to surf time.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, do you want to surf time?
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 13: Could we have done like a GOFUNDMEI you think to
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 13: bail me out? Well, think about this or second would
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 13: have contributed? Or do you think rich More would have said, Hey,
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 13: why do you stay there and do our show?
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'll send some gear down with you. Can you
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 2: call in? Can he do a phoner from from King County?
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 2: Don't think about that for a second now. I know
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 2: it was the heat of the moment, so you didn't
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: have time to really think about it. But let's think
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: about this in Seattle terms. You can do almost anything
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: in this city and not get arrested.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 5: You can do drugs in the middle of the street.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 13: Exactly, sleep on the sidewalk, you can you can poop
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 13: on the sidewalk.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: You can do everything.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 5: I can't take a microphone to go out and interview
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 5: Leonard Wildie.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 2: If you would have walked out on live radio with
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 2: a microphone to talk to Big Cat, you would have
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: been putting handcuffs thrown to the throne, to the ground
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: and take it off to jail.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 5: But the guy doing smack would have been giving a
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 5: five star hotel.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 2: The guy next to you, the guy next to you
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 2: do it doing crack, doing an IV on his arm
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 2: as you as you're trying to go out to do
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 2: the air. You're a fine fella.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 13: Your Marden criminal over here on what he do? He
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 13: tried to interview Sam Dartle. What that guy do He's
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 13: just pooping in the street.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: Imagine when that one comes across the prosecutor's desk and
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: then the guy goes, who is Dave Maller never heard
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: of it?
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 13: Dave Maller, Well, that's the mistake that Eugene Robinson made
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 13: when he got caught with a hooker Miami before the Falcons.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 13: He wrote down on his booking form professional football player.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 13: Nobody would have known who he was. He would have
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 13: been just Gene Robinson in town for.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: The game, accountant and an accountant.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 5: That's right. There was no Twitter, no Facebook, no nothing.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: Man, God, that's right.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 5: I forgot. I would have gotten away with it.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 2: That's back in the day when stuff happened before games, right, Barrett.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 13: Robbins, Just just word Otherwise, if you want to get
• 2:07:36
