Transcript
- 0:14Speaker 1: At nine o'clock hour here on this Monday. Man, it's
- 0:18Speaker 1: been busy. Chuck Powell, Ashley Ryan with you know, Bucky
- 0:23Speaker 1: Jacobson again here today. But look who's sitting in his seat.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Oh it's our friend Ryan Healey, now a television star
- 0:32Speaker 1: on Mariner's TV that started over the weekend as well.
- 0:36Speaker 1: This is the first time we've got to see him,
- 0:38Speaker 1: have him in studio here face to face. Great to
- 0:41Speaker 1: finally meet you face to face.
- 0:42Speaker 2: It's a pleasure to be here. I'm a little rattle
- 0:45Speaker 2: that you put me in Bucky's seat, though, because I
- 0:47Speaker 2: wanted to respect his space. I should have sat somewhere
- 0:50Speaker 2: else and maybe asked before the fact. But if I'm
- 0:52Speaker 2: gonna sit in the sea Bucky, I'm gonna do a justice. Yeah.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Well, then you need to know you have too much hair. Yeah,
- 0:57Speaker 1: you have too much hair or too handsome, and you're
- 1:00Speaker 1: you're working way too hard for this morning.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I have the space, I had the face and the
- 1:05Speaker 2: voice for radio, so I'm going to play the part.
- 1:07Speaker 3: And you're not reprimanding the sales staff enough yet and
- 1:10Speaker 3: giving them a hard enough time.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I need to throw some chirps on my way out.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd be like, Oh, I get to work. People,
- 1:15Speaker 4: come on, what are you doing?
- 1:16Speaker 2: Yeah, announce my presence with authority.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Step into that role. So how did it go over
- 1:22Speaker 1: the weekend? I got to watch yesterday, Friday was tied up,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and Saturday was a national game, so I finally got
- 1:27Speaker 1: to hear you on Sunday. I thought you sounded great.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I mean, first couple of times out, it's got to
- 1:33Speaker 1: be a little bit nerve wracking. But how did you
- 1:35Speaker 1: feel in the hot seat?
- 1:36Speaker 2: Overall? Pretty good. I didn't curse on air. That was
- 1:39Speaker 2: rule number one. That was the only thing I really
- 1:41Speaker 2: wanted to accomplish in game one, so I didn't do that,
- 1:44Speaker 2: and that was nice. Sunday I felt more comfortable. Man,
- 1:46Speaker 2: it's crazy, and the Big Leagues is so fast. The
- 1:49Speaker 2: player's perspective, especially, the game can speed up on you,
- 1:51Speaker 2: and whenever you're doing something for the first time, it
- 1:53Speaker 2: can go really fast on you, no matter how prepared
- 1:55Speaker 2: you are. And the first part of the game, the
- 1:58Speaker 2: opening through the first inning, speeds up on me. And
- 2:01Speaker 2: then once the game starts, I'm able to start observing
- 2:04Speaker 2: and I'm doing the best that I can to communicate
- 2:07Speaker 2: with the fans. That are watching, to educate them on
- 2:09Speaker 2: what my eyes are telling me, and then trying to
- 2:12Speaker 2: regurgitate to the listeners what they can learn, what really
- 2:16Speaker 2: makes the game click, and how some of the offensive side,
- 2:19Speaker 2: especially giving perspective on why guys might be struggling, also
- 2:22Speaker 2: the positive things that I'm starting to see.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Yeah, well, very good. And did you figure out a
- 2:27Speaker 1: method for the Ryan versus Ryan communication or is that
- 2:30Speaker 1: going to be an ongoing struggle?
- 2:32Speaker 2: The first game was really tough. There was a couple
- 2:34Speaker 2: of innings in the middle of the game where our producer,
- 2:37Speaker 2: who's amazing, He's been so great to meet Pike, and
- 2:39Speaker 2: he kept saying Ryan and I would go and talk
- 2:42Speaker 2: back and say which one, Like there's two of us,
- 2:44Speaker 2: you gotta specify. I saw Ryan rollds Smith before the
- 2:48Speaker 2: game and I shook his hand as like, Hey, I
- 2:49Speaker 2: know we're just meeting, but is it okay if I
- 2:51Speaker 2: call you hyphen I don't want to jump the gun
- 2:53Speaker 2: here be disrespectful, but it would be helpful if you
- 2:56Speaker 2: can be hyphened. I can be Ryan on the show,
- 2:58Speaker 2: or maybe you call me Heels whatever you want to
- 3:00Speaker 2: call me out of care, but let's just separate those
- 3:02Speaker 2: a little bit. So Game one, there's a couple of blunders,
- 3:05Speaker 2: but I just kind of lay back of like, maybe
- 3:07Speaker 2: it's not me this time, and hopefully one of us
- 3:09Speaker 2: speaks in time, and then I feel like Sunday was
- 3:11Speaker 2: really smooth.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Well, I just didn't know if you were just a
- 3:15Speaker 1: nickname giver. I mean, you just took it upon yourself
- 3:17Speaker 1: start calling me chucky. I thought you did the same.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I've never caught you chucky again. I've been rattled about
- 3:21Speaker 2: that ever since last Monday, so I really never i've
- 3:24Speaker 2: thought of that nickname. I'm not ever calling you again.
- 3:27Speaker 2: I'm moving on from it.
- 3:28Speaker 4: We loved it.
- 3:30Speaker 1: It's fine, It's perfectly fine.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Ash, thank you so much for saying that.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Look, but remember too, as much as Ryan doesn't remember,
- 3:39Speaker 3: I was a counselor at camp when Ryan was like,
- 3:43Speaker 3: we go way back, like early two thousands, mister, mister Chuckster,
- 3:46Speaker 3: we go way back, way back.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I mentioned, Yeah, I'm a day camp.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yeah I was counselor.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Yeah, nice to go there. Yeah my mom still works there.
- 3:58Speaker 4: I love that.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Now you're out of the you're.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Out of it.
- 4:04Speaker 4: It was awesome.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to go camp and I make a
- 4:07Speaker 1: macaroni necklace.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Oh god, we did it every year.
- 4:12Speaker 3: And Ryan lent his whole life, so he probably has
- 4:14Speaker 3: like forty four billion macaroni necklaces.
- 4:18Speaker 2: And the yards and the lanyards were it back then?
- 4:22Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 4:22Speaker 4: God, a great time.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Did you ever tip over in the canoe.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Field trip?
- 4:32Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 4:32Speaker 4: That's rightly?
- 4:34Speaker 1: Wow, look at that right.
- 4:36Speaker 2: You didn't have this in your prep notes.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Did you?
- 4:38Speaker 1: I did not. I did not. But I'm ready to
- 4:40Speaker 1: go here now, you know, Yeah, willing to get a
- 4:42Speaker 1: bug bite, Uh, to go have a camp experience with
- 4:46Speaker 1: the two of you are. Ryan Healy is with it.
- 4:48Speaker 1: You got to see a couple of wins. We were
- 4:50Speaker 1: talking Ashley and I earlier in the show. I don't
- 4:53Speaker 1: know if I could call it back on track because
- 4:55Speaker 1: I don't know if they've been on track yet this year,
- 4:58Speaker 1: But did it kind of feel like to by Sunday
- 5:01Speaker 1: that maybe things are cooking a little bit.
- 5:03Speaker 2: In my opinion, the tracks are being built right now,
- 5:06Speaker 2: and you have to rebuild the track because the train
- 5:08Speaker 2: is obviously the roster. You have to build the track.
- 5:10Speaker 2: As the season's progressing, we can everyone can write on
- 5:13Speaker 2: paper what the roster looks like, how they're gonna win
- 5:15Speaker 2: baseball games. Wow, this is the best constructed roster we've
- 5:18Speaker 2: ever seen in the diversity of being able to score runs.
- 5:21Speaker 2: And then they don't score runs. You're like, I thought
- 5:22Speaker 2: we weren't relying on the home run this year. Guys,
- 5:24Speaker 2: what the heck? The track is being built as the
- 5:27Speaker 2: season is progressing, especially to the first month, but seeing
- 5:30Speaker 2: a lot of positive things from top to bottom. There
- 5:32Speaker 2: are the three headed monster obviously of cal, Julio and
- 5:36Speaker 2: Naylor that are still looking to fully click. But I'm
- 5:39Speaker 2: seeing the puzzle being formed a little bit. There hasn't
- 5:42Speaker 2: been a ton of games this season when the top
- 5:43Speaker 2: of the lineup and the bottom of the lineup are
- 5:45Speaker 2: hitting in the same game. But on Saturday and Sunday
- 5:47Speaker 2: we saw a lot more traffic on the bases, and
- 5:50Speaker 2: then we saw that big hit and a guy like
- 5:52Speaker 2: Mackenzie Gore who's had an unhittable curve ball all year.
- 5:54Speaker 2: I think the Mariners had four hits off of that
- 5:57Speaker 2: curveball yesterday, JP Crawford being one of those that get
- 5:59Speaker 2: the the one scoring start of the to run home
- 6:02Speaker 2: run on that two strike curd ball. Seeing some positive
- 6:04Speaker 2: things and looking or looking forward to watching them build
- 6:07Speaker 2: off it against the A's this week.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Did you get the sense when you arrived and you
- 6:11Speaker 1: were around them Friday that they were stressing, that they
- 6:14Speaker 1: were feeling it. I mean, it's early in the season.
- 6:18Speaker 1: We keep telling people that, but I mean you guys,
- 6:22Speaker 1: you know, you know how stressful and maybe not intimidating,
- 6:26Speaker 1: but a slow start what that can start doing? Am
- 6:29Speaker 1: I ever going to get out of this? You start
- 6:32Speaker 1: entering into that mindset? Did you get that from the
- 6:34Speaker 1: players at all? Or are they just taking it in stride?
- 6:37Speaker 2: Chuck? There are eighteen days per season that you are
- 6:40Speaker 2: stress free as a player. Do you know what those
- 6:42Speaker 2: eighteen days are? The off days? One hundred and sixty
- 6:46Speaker 2: two games and one hundred and eighty days, you get
- 6:47Speaker 2: about eighteen off days if my math is correct. There
- 6:50Speaker 2: you're stressed free for those eighteen. The rest of them
- 6:52Speaker 2: you are pulling your hair out, fighting for your life,
- 6:55Speaker 2: just grinding for the next opportunity. Yes, these guys are stressed.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Obviously this is important. The expectations are high. It's a
- 7:02Speaker 2: World Series or bust for this team. That is really
- 7:04Speaker 2: hard to function off of. But this team has done
- 7:08Speaker 2: a really good job, and they have veteran coaches. I
- 7:10Speaker 2: had a chance to talk with Maniacta on Saturday for
- 7:13Speaker 2: that National game and just kind of bouncing ideas off
- 7:17Speaker 2: him of like, how do you navigate this from your
- 7:18Speaker 2: perspective as a coach? Talk to the third base coach
- 7:22Speaker 2: as well, Carlos Cordoza, and he was asking me, He's like,
- 7:24Speaker 2: how do I navigate this as a coach? And I
- 7:26Speaker 2: kind of told him. I was like, dude, treat the
- 7:27Speaker 2: players the same every single day. Go sit down with them,
- 7:29Speaker 2: have a meal, ask them the human questions of how's
- 7:32Speaker 2: the family, how's the body, Just like the generic things
- 7:35Speaker 2: that take your mind off of I'm oh for my
- 7:37Speaker 2: last eighteen and I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- 7:40Speaker 2: So for me, yes, the stress is always there. And
- 7:43Speaker 2: then you have a series where you win too out
- 7:45Speaker 2: of three against the Rangers, and then you get the
- 7:47Speaker 2: day game to night game at home. It almost feels
- 7:50Speaker 2: like an off day in between. So I'm excited to
- 7:52Speaker 2: see how the energy is today, if it's consistent with
- 7:54Speaker 2: what I saw all last week, or if it's a
- 7:57Speaker 2: little bit higher because they're coming off of a good
- 7:58Speaker 2: weekend and heally is with us. Are you on the
- 8:01Speaker 2: call again tonight? Yes, I am off the whole homestead.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I'll be here for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I'm gonna head
- 8:06Speaker 2: back home to the kiddos.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Okay, got it. Ryan Heally who we had him first
- 8:11Speaker 1: Mariners till yeah, and he's with us here in studio
- 8:15Speaker 1: for the first time after calling some TV over the
- 8:18Speaker 1: weekend for Mariners TV. I was talking to you off
- 8:22Speaker 1: the air about the Big Three, Cal Raley specifically. I
- 8:26Speaker 1: know Bucky's been out for a few weeks, and I
- 8:29Speaker 1: know if Bucky was here, he would be talking about
- 8:33Speaker 1: these three players struggles and what he's seeing and how
- 8:36Speaker 1: they could come out of it. I mentioned to you,
- 8:40Speaker 1: I mean, Kylska, I loved hearing from you. You got
- 8:43Speaker 1: to get on time for the fastball, because I feel
- 8:46Speaker 1: that that's where Cal's struggling right now. He's not on
- 8:50Speaker 1: time with the fastball. But you got a little different
- 8:52Speaker 1: spin on that.
- 8:53Speaker 2: It's not from a lack of trying. And I remember
- 8:56Speaker 2: watching the first few weeks of Cal and his bats,
- 8:58Speaker 2: and he looked like he was on ish time for
- 9:01Speaker 2: the fastball but was swinging through it. There is not
- 9:04Speaker 2: a more empty feeling as a hitter that when you
- 9:06Speaker 2: were trying to get on time for the fastball, being
- 9:08Speaker 2: aggressive to the fastball on the strike zone, fouling it
- 9:10Speaker 2: off or swinging and missing at it. It leaves you
- 9:13Speaker 2: staring at your bat, almost like rubbing your hand on
- 9:15Speaker 2: the barrel of the bat, saying are there holes in here?
- 9:18Speaker 2: Did someone hand me a Swiss cheese bat? Because I
- 9:20Speaker 2: can't figure out how I'm missing this. That is a
- 9:23Speaker 2: lost feeling as a hitter. And I saw a little
- 9:25Speaker 2: bit of that and col he started to put it
- 9:27Speaker 2: together a little bit on the road trip. He had
- 9:29Speaker 2: a really great at bat against Jacob de Gram in
- 9:30Speaker 2: Texas when he hit that home run in the first inning,
- 9:33Speaker 2: and it's just kind of coming and going for him
- 9:35Speaker 2: right now, it doesn't look like it's clicked. I know.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Last season he got on top of the plate on
- 9:39Speaker 2: both sides as a righty and a lefty and decided
- 9:41Speaker 2: that he was just gonna try and pull more pitches
- 9:44Speaker 2: because he wanted to do the damage. That was what
- 9:45Speaker 2: his role was. Looks like this year, pitchers are attacking
- 9:49Speaker 2: him heavily in with fastballs and they're not making a
- 9:53Speaker 2: ton of mistakes over the plate. If they're making mistakes
- 9:55Speaker 2: with the fastball, it's up in the zone, and as
- 9:57Speaker 2: a hitter, it's really tough to get the barrel to
- 9:59Speaker 2: a fastball inside or at the top of the strike zone.
- 10:02Speaker 2: When we see Cal do that on a consistent basis,
- 10:05Speaker 2: he's going to go off. But it's almost guaranteed as
- 10:07Speaker 2: a hitter to have a hundred at bats stretch that
- 10:09Speaker 2: is like this. It's just unfortunate that the season starts
- 10:12Speaker 2: like that.
- 10:14Speaker 1: What about Julio and josh also two guys that you
- 10:18Speaker 1: know have their hands all over this disappointing start to
- 10:22Speaker 1: the season, and we're certainly see I think Julio might
- 10:26Speaker 1: not be getting the results, but the bats certainly look better,
- 10:29Speaker 1: So maybe he's on the verge of breakout. And Joshua
- 10:32Speaker 1: just given a day off yesterday. He's already had a
- 10:34Speaker 1: couple of those this year. Do you see those two
- 10:37Speaker 1: close to breaking out here soon?
- 10:39Speaker 2: Julio, Yes, one hundred percent. We saw josh Naylor get
- 10:42Speaker 2: on base four times in Friday's game. They think he
- 10:44Speaker 2: had two walks and two singles. Wasn't all over the barrel,
- 10:47Speaker 2: but the bat was in the zone earlier and longer
- 10:49Speaker 2: and he was able to have some quality misses that
- 10:52Speaker 2: were dropping in between the infielders and the outfielders, so
- 10:55Speaker 2: that was really positive to see. He's, like, Josh Naylor
- 10:57Speaker 2: is starting to see more pitches. One of the when
- 11:00Speaker 2: as a hitter, when you get into these these slumps
- 11:03Speaker 2: or struggles, is you want to swing your way out
- 11:05Speaker 2: of it. You want to be really aggressive early incounts.
- 11:07Speaker 2: You're almost subconsciously scared of a two strike count, so
- 11:11Speaker 2: you go up there and you're swinging aggressively and you
- 11:13Speaker 2: might expand your zone. And also when you're struggling, you
- 11:16Speaker 2: don't know what your zone is at that point. You're
- 11:17Speaker 2: trying to calibrate and being aggressive, but now you're putting
- 11:19Speaker 2: yourself in a No. Two count. When you're struggling, you
- 11:22Speaker 2: feel like you step in the batter's box in an
- 11:24Speaker 2: no two count. And that's kind of what it looks
- 11:25Speaker 2: like with Josh Naylor. He's becoming more patient. He had
- 11:28Speaker 2: a really really great at bat. I believe it was
- 11:30Speaker 2: Friday night to load the bases after a Julio double
- 11:34Speaker 2: off a Degram and he gets up there and works
- 11:37Speaker 2: a really tough three two walk and then got the
- 11:39Speaker 2: hits and then got the walk, so he looks good.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Julio looks great. He had that kind of jam shot
- 11:45Speaker 2: RBI single in the first inning on Saturday where he
- 11:47Speaker 2: let that fastball get really deep and can take it
- 11:49Speaker 2: the other way and miss, and like that was still quality.
- 11:52Speaker 2: He had like one hundred and ten min hour ground
- 11:53Speaker 2: ball to the second basement or shortstop as well. He's
- 11:56Speaker 2: all over the barrel. Julio looks the closest to me
- 11:58Speaker 2: out of the three, knowing that the other two were
- 12:00Speaker 2: coming in cal and Josh, have.
- 12:02Speaker 1: You ever gone through a ref Schnyder situation?
- 12:05Speaker 2: I can't tell you how many times a go on,
- 12:06Speaker 2: oh for twenty five plus in my life. To start
- 12:09Speaker 2: the season like that is really rough, especially when you're
- 12:11Speaker 2: playing time as sporadic. But listen, when I started my
- 12:14Speaker 2: Mariner's tenor in twenty eighteen, I faced a three headed
- 12:18Speaker 2: monster of Corey Klueber, Carlos Carrasco, and then Trevor Bauer
- 12:21Speaker 2: opening weekend here when you know it's chilly, and I
- 12:24Speaker 2: went over that weekend. It was not that fun. Don't
- 12:27Speaker 2: go to San Francisco. I went over in San Francisco,
- 12:30Speaker 2: went to Minnesota. I got a basis clearing or three
- 12:32Speaker 2: RBI double, and then I rolled my ankle in the
- 12:34Speaker 2: weight room atter the game, and this another two weeks.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Baseball is brutal and it is cruel. It will come
- 12:40Speaker 2: back around. But it was really nice to see just
- 12:43Speaker 2: the authentic truth behind Rob Refchneider's struggles and how he
- 12:48Speaker 2: leaned on his people and his circle of trust and
- 12:51Speaker 2: then ultimately came out yesterday aggressive and jumped on that
- 12:54Speaker 2: fastball to set the tone for that lineup.
- 12:56Speaker 1: He had been thinking, do I want to go back.
- 12:58Speaker 2: One hundred percent listen? And I didn't have children when
- 13:02Speaker 2: I was playing. I couldn't imagine just the pressure or
- 13:05Speaker 2: the stress that you feel of my family is growing.
- 13:08Speaker 2: I'm not sure if they're up here, if they're back
- 13:10Speaker 2: in Arizona, but just the absolute whirlwind of what it
- 13:15Speaker 2: is to bring a new child into this world. Been
- 13:17Speaker 2: through it twice now things go fast on you. And
- 13:19Speaker 2: then to go back to a place where you have
- 13:22Speaker 2: struggles waiting for you and you're like, I need to
- 13:24Speaker 2: go conquer this monster. And I was really happy to
- 13:26Speaker 2: see him do that and then also share some of
- 13:29Speaker 2: the realities of what he was facing after the game.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's like he wanted to talk about it.
- 13:35Speaker 1: He wanted us to know because that might be stuff
- 13:37Speaker 1: that you hold close to the vest. It's none of
- 13:40Speaker 1: your business. You know, I hit a home run today.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Let's build from there. But he actually, I mean, I
- 13:47Speaker 1: don't even know if hyphen even directly asked him the
- 13:51Speaker 1: question before. He answered it like honestly, like brutally honestly,
- 13:56Speaker 1: and I appreciated it, and we've talked about it times
- 14:00Speaker 1: this morning.
- 14:01Speaker 2: It makes you relatable, and all these fans are going
- 14:03Speaker 2: to rally behind him because each and every one of us,
- 14:07Speaker 2: as human beings, have gone through our own version of
- 14:09Speaker 2: a struggle, and that's what Rob's version of his struggle was.
- 14:12Speaker 2: At that point in time. He signed a nice contract
- 14:15Speaker 2: to come to a winning organization with a team that
- 14:16Speaker 2: has a lot of expectations and was struggling along with
- 14:19Speaker 2: the rest of the lineup that was struggling too. But
- 14:22Speaker 2: when you're not playing every single day, now, you're sitting
- 14:24Speaker 2: on that for two oh for three, for the next three, four, six,
- 14:28Speaker 2: eight days, waiting for the next opportunity, and every time
- 14:30Speaker 2: you get in there, like he had a pinch hit,
- 14:32Speaker 2: I believe on Friday and hit one hundred plus one
- 14:35Speaker 2: hour ground ball off the pitcher that ricocheted right next
- 14:38Speaker 2: to him and was able to throw him out. That's
- 14:40Speaker 2: just what the game of baseball will do to you.
- 14:43Speaker 2: It will squeeze every last drop of patients that you
- 14:46Speaker 2: might have prepared over the off season in spring training
- 14:49Speaker 2: and drain you of it.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Ryan Healy is with us in studio here today. Of
- 14:54Speaker 1: course did television over the weekend. Of course, wore the
- 14:57Speaker 1: Mariner's uniform, and of course, once we just found out
- 15:01Speaker 1: today hung Ashley's undergarments on a flagpole at camp. Did
- 15:07Speaker 1: that happen? No, No, it didn't happen.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Why did he take it there? Yeah, because the Family show.
- 15:13Speaker 4: He thinks it's like overnight camp.
- 15:15Speaker 3: This is day camp morning and leave at night, so
- 15:17Speaker 3: all your underwear goes home with you.
- 15:19Speaker 2: The point he's just showing the ignorance right now. He
- 15:22Speaker 2: has no idea what we've been through to camp. That
- 15:25Speaker 2: makes so much sense now.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Never been to camp. I was cool in school. Sorry,
- 15:35Speaker 1: are you flipping me off right now? Is that what
- 15:37Speaker 1: you're doing?
- 15:38Speaker 2: There's no cameras on right there?
- 15:39Speaker 1: Are there are? There was one finger that was strangely
- 15:44Speaker 1: positioned right there, camp, Let's talk about what you saw
- 15:49Speaker 1: Andre Simunos over the weekend. So his last outing, we
- 15:53Speaker 1: don't see him struggle like that. I think he kind
- 15:56Speaker 1: of beat himself up over it. And then for him
- 15:58Speaker 1: to come back Saturday and Sunday and look like mooney again,
- 16:02Speaker 1: like overnight, you could see the raw emotion out of
- 16:07Speaker 1: one of the nicest human beings on the planet. After
- 16:09Speaker 1: that save, I got traditional, I came in for a save,
- 16:13Speaker 1: three outs, got out of it, we won the game.
- 16:17Speaker 1: You could see it out of him. I mean he
- 16:18Speaker 1: just yelled into the mountains like some warrior. So that
- 16:24Speaker 1: is he back. He is that behind him. Now, did
- 16:27Speaker 1: Munos get fixed over the weekend?
- 16:30Speaker 2: Are you ever like fully fixed? I think it's a
- 16:33Speaker 2: day to day battle.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 16:35Speaker 2: If you saw his postgame interview interview, he was talking
- 16:37Speaker 2: about how he went back and rewatched the outing in
- 16:40Speaker 2: San Diego. He put a lot of pressure himself. He
- 16:43Speaker 2: obviously felt terrible about it. He's a competitor and he
- 16:45Speaker 2: knows what his job is and the job didn't get
- 16:48Speaker 2: done that day. Nobody felt worse about that than Andres Munno's.
- 16:51Speaker 2: But he said in an interview yesterday, he went back
- 16:53Speaker 2: and watched the outing, realized that it wasn't as bad
- 16:55Speaker 2: as he was making it out to be. In his mind,
- 16:57Speaker 2: there was a lot of extra emotions that were piling
- 17:00Speaker 2: on from that Padres game because he had a lot
- 17:02Speaker 2: of family there, So being from Mexico, he had a
- 17:05Speaker 2: lot of family that came that game. He really wanted
- 17:07Speaker 2: to perform well for, you know, the people that came
- 17:09Speaker 2: out there to see them support him. So when the
- 17:11Speaker 2: results showed up, he felt hair wet himself, and he
- 17:15Speaker 2: mentioned he went back and watched the outing recognize that
- 17:17Speaker 2: it wasn't as bad as he thought.
- 17:19Speaker 1: It was a lot of blue pits. It was a
- 17:20Speaker 1: lot of blue pits.
- 17:21Speaker 2: It was a lot of just kind of you know,
- 17:23Speaker 2: soft ground balls that were finding seams in the infield,
- 17:26Speaker 2: like that's baseball happens, and it doesn't often happen the
- 17:29Speaker 2: way that it did to Munos there where it just
- 17:31Speaker 2: kind of compounds quickly on you. But to see him
- 17:34Speaker 2: come out Saturday with that conviction, the slider looked really good,
- 17:37Speaker 2: and I think the bases loaded kind of back against
- 17:40Speaker 2: the wall puts the closers in that mindset of it's
- 17:43Speaker 2: all or nothing right now, and he got nimental swing
- 17:45Speaker 2: in that oboe slider that was down below the zone
- 17:47Speaker 2: and that was probably a moment for him where he goes, ooh,
- 17:49Speaker 2: I got it, let's go. I thought he was gonna
- 17:51Speaker 2: punch out four yesterday after he struck out Burger and
- 17:53Speaker 2: went to the backstop and then he went strikeout strikeouts.
- 17:56Speaker 2: He was like, he's gonna strike out four guys and
- 17:57Speaker 2: went inning right now watch.
- 17:58Speaker 1: This m hmm. That would have been fantastic. But yeah,
- 18:02Speaker 1: he looked back last night, There's no doubt about it.
- 18:04Speaker 1: And Brian wu looks even better than what he did
- 18:07Speaker 1: a year ago, and George looks like he's on track
- 18:11Speaker 1: for a hell of the season. And then the guy
- 18:13Speaker 1: you're going to get to see pitch tonight is the
- 18:16Speaker 1: story so far this season, and that is if Emerson
- 18:19Speaker 1: Hancock is this, If the new and improved Emerson Hancock
- 18:22Speaker 1: is this, Oh my, what a season we could have.
- 18:26Speaker 2: It's really exciting to talk to personnel around the team
- 18:29Speaker 2: and just get their perspective on the growth that Emerson
- 18:32Speaker 2: Hancock has shown over the last few seasons, and then
- 18:35Speaker 2: what everyone is getting to witness this season with how
- 18:38Speaker 2: he's executing with how he's embraced the adjustments. The arm
- 18:41Speaker 2: angle is so much lower. I was talking with Rick
- 18:43Speaker 2: Rizzy yesterday and he was mentioning to me that he
- 18:45Speaker 2: has the second lowest armslot for a starting pitcher in
- 18:48Speaker 2: the major leagues at thirteen degrees. And it's hard to
- 18:51Speaker 2: explain over the radio, but I'll give you some perspective.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Who's the pitcher that you would guess has a lower
- 18:56Speaker 2: armslot than Emerson or Emerson Hancock.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Chris Sale.
- 18:58Speaker 2: It is Chris Sale. And there's a ten degree release point,
- 19:02Speaker 2: so Emerson Hancock has three degrees above that, which is
- 19:05Speaker 2: helping the sinker play up. It's helping the sweeper be
- 19:07Speaker 2: really nasty. The four seane is as advertised. The velocity
- 19:10Speaker 2: is maintaining throughout the games. He's doing some special things,
- 19:13Speaker 2: and it seems like his head is on his shoulder
- 19:14Speaker 2: and embracing what his role is and also the role
- 19:17Speaker 2: that he really desires, which is being a staple in
- 19:19Speaker 2: that starting rotation.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about mental like you know, for so long,
- 19:23Speaker 1: like I was the drafted higher than any of these guys.
- 19:26Speaker 1: They all passed me on the way to the majors.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I'm the one that's jumping back and forth from Tacoma.
- 19:32Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out my place in this. They're
- 19:34Speaker 1: my best friends, and so for him to have the
- 19:39Speaker 1: success he's having right now, the things that he worked
- 19:43Speaker 1: on in the offseason that he thought might work, seeing
- 19:46Speaker 1: them work, and not just for a game or two,
- 19:48Speaker 1: but now we're on four games. I mean, you want
- 19:51Speaker 1: to talk about feeling twelve feet tall, that's got to
- 19:53Speaker 1: be where Emerson Ancock is right now.
- 19:55Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I'm excited to watch him compete tonight.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, what else are you excaps about tonight?
- 20:00Speaker 1: What we got planned for tonight? Dude? We got any
- 20:03Speaker 1: goofy high jinks. So are they going to involve in
- 20:05Speaker 1: you and any of that just yet? The Menna Run,
- 20:07Speaker 1: the Salmon race or anything like that.
- 20:08Speaker 2: No, no, shot, that's not that's not my role.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Put you in the humpy the fish costume, the salmon costume.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna stay in my lane for
- 20:19Speaker 2: this trip especially, and maybe as the year progresses we
- 20:23Speaker 2: can diversify a little bit.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Yeah, no f bombs just yet.
- 20:26Speaker 2: No, not yet, you're telling me, no, I'm not not
- 20:28Speaker 2: cursing on air. I promised, my wife, has.
- 20:34Speaker 1: She been watching?
- 20:35Speaker 2: Yeah, she's been watching.
- 20:36Speaker 1: What she think? What kind of reviews are you getting?
- 20:38Speaker 2: So I actually left Friday's game with about fifty one
- 20:42Speaker 2: text messages for just a lot of humble brag whatever.
- 20:45Speaker 2: I felt like it was my major league debut all
- 20:46Speaker 2: over again. So I spent the rest of the night
- 20:48Speaker 2: go into it. But the first thing that I got
- 20:49Speaker 2: to see when I got home, my wife took a
- 20:51Speaker 2: video of the opening when I was actually on TV
- 20:54Speaker 2: on the on the TV for a longer period of time,
- 20:56Speaker 2: and both of my kids were watching it and they
- 20:57Speaker 2: just went nuts. Was a three half long minute video
- 21:01Speaker 2: of my daughter and my son just going dadda, daddy, Daddy,
- 21:04Speaker 2: and they were going nuts and my daughter goes, why
- 21:06Speaker 2: can't daddy or why isn't Daddy talking to me? I
- 21:08Speaker 2: was able to give them a name drop, but she
- 21:10Speaker 2: was so confused. I thought it was like a FaceTime
- 21:12Speaker 2: that I just apparently got all dressed up for and
- 21:14Speaker 2: she's like, why can't I talk to him? She didn't
- 21:16Speaker 2: understand it fully, but they they really really loved it.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Well awesome, Well, nice job, have fun tonight, and we
- 21:25Speaker 1: appreciate you being a part of our show as well.
- 21:27Speaker 1: It's been great.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
- 21:28Speaker 1: All right, Ryan Heally with us right here on Chucking
- 21:31Speaker 1: Buck in the Morning. Coming up next the Draft miss Catalog.
- 21:34Speaker 1: You know, Healey's sticking around for this. He wants to
- 21:37Speaker 1: know what tight ends I like for the Seahawks this year.
- 21:40Speaker 1: He's shaking his head so vigorously over his joy of
- 21:44Speaker 1: hearing this.
- 21:45Speaker 4: He's just.
- 21:47Speaker 1: He's like, uh, oh, man, look at him, just like
- 21:50Speaker 1: he's having like a seizure, you know, of excitement, right Like,
- 21:54Speaker 1: it looks like he's shaking his head. No, but I
- 21:57Speaker 1: know I can tell he is. Seven minutes and he
- 22:01Speaker 1: gets to see it done live Sports Radio ninety three
- 22:04Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. Draftness spirit thing I may never leave.
- 22:08Speaker 3: I love that you think that's what happened.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just a huge fan of the show and
- 22:16Speaker 1: of draftmas Nis. But good enough makes him one of billions. Well, welcome,
- 22:23Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen to NFL Draft Week, Chuck and Ashley
- 22:27Speaker 1: with you. That's right. NFL Draft Days coming up on Thursday,
- 22:31Speaker 1: and so we really do ramp things up a little bit.
- 22:34Speaker 1: We've had Greg Bell on today, He'll be on at
- 22:36Speaker 1: ten o'clock by the way this morning.
- 22:38Speaker 4: Yeah, you will welcome back.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Ye. Also Charles Davis on He's always fun, Hugh Millan
- 22:45Speaker 1: for a couple segments. And now we get to the
- 22:47Speaker 1: draft Miss catalog, and I never put it at a
- 22:50Speaker 1: thirty industry term. We have a long segment at the
- 22:55Speaker 1: top of the hour, and then we have a shorter
- 22:57Speaker 1: segment at the bottom of the hour, and a still
- 23:00Speaker 1: shorter segment and the third segment. That's just how our
- 23:04Speaker 1: clock operates. So the Draftmas catalog is a little bit
- 23:08Speaker 1: to get through, and so I never have one in
- 23:11Speaker 1: the you know, ten eleven, twelve minute segment. I usually
- 23:14Speaker 1: save it for the twenty to twenty two minute segment.
- 23:17Speaker 1: But today I'm going to make an exception. We had
- 23:20Speaker 1: all of these wonderful guests, and I really only have
- 23:24Speaker 1: three position groups remaining, and I don't think we have
- 23:27Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on tight ends.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but I was worried that we were still
- 23:31Speaker 3: going to have a lot to cover, and I was
- 23:32Speaker 3: going to write faster than I normally do, and then
- 23:34Speaker 3: all I would do is be able to write someone's
- 23:36Speaker 3: name and a thumbs up or a thumbs down, right.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I'm only going to go through four guys, and frankly,
- 23:41Speaker 1: I don't think we're in the market for a tight
- 23:43Speaker 1: end fair enough. Only that's what we're really looking for
- 23:46Speaker 1: on this football team. So let's get to the group,
- 23:50Speaker 1: and again I try to give you an example of
- 23:54Speaker 1: one player in each of the different price categories that
- 23:57Speaker 1: we have. I'll explain that as we go, but we're
- 24:00Speaker 1: gonna start with Kenyon Sadik, and I'm gonna make him
- 24:04Speaker 1: four and a half Schneider Bucks because most mocks out
- 24:08Speaker 1: there say four. I think he's more five. I will
- 24:12Speaker 1: explain that in a moment. Six foot three inches tall,
- 24:14Speaker 1: two hundred and forty one pounds out of Oregon, Sadik
- 24:18Speaker 1: the freak, and they call him that for a good reason.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Four point three nine forty oh my forty three and
- 24:26Speaker 1: a half inch vertical leap and then they were like, well,
- 24:29Speaker 1: nobody does the bench press anymore, so you're probably gonna
- 24:32Speaker 1: pass too. He's like, Nope, give me that damn bar,
- 24:35Speaker 1: and I will press it twenty six times because I
- 24:38Speaker 1: am a freak and I want to show off for
- 24:40Speaker 1: everybody watching. The dude loves wearing his uniform. Tight tight, tight, tight, tight, tight,
- 24:47Speaker 1: and there's a reason for it, because he's built like
- 24:49Speaker 1: a superhero. Yeah, and although his numbers at the combine
- 24:53Speaker 1: weren't superhuman, they were better than anyone else's. And as
- 24:58Speaker 1: we know, he can play at little bit too. He
- 25:01Speaker 1: set the Oregon school record for catches by a tight
- 25:03Speaker 1: end in twenty twenty five. He was named second team
- 25:06Speaker 1: All American and he is being forecasted as a surefire
- 25:10Speaker 1: mid first rounder in the first tight end off the board.
- 25:13Speaker 1: But I think the guy so intriguing, so intriguing that
- 25:17Speaker 1: I think he's going number nine overall, which nobody has
- 25:21Speaker 1: him going that high. But I think Andy Reid and
- 25:24Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, they know that Travis Kelcey doesn't have a
- 25:28Speaker 1: lot of time left in the league. You want to
- 25:30Speaker 1: talk about a nice little handoff if he could, for
- 25:34Speaker 1: one year learn from Travis kelce out of play the
- 25:37Speaker 1: tight end position with Patrick Mahomes as his quarterback. Ben
- 25:40Speaker 1: Kelsey retires to Swiftland, and then Sadik steps in, and
- 25:45Speaker 1: now now the Chiefs offense, which has operated so well
- 25:49Speaker 1: as having their number one target be a tight end,
- 25:53Speaker 1: maybe you don't have to even skip a beat at
- 25:55Speaker 1: that point. So I think that he's going to go
- 25:58Speaker 1: at minimum mid first round, and I think he might
- 26:02Speaker 1: actually sneak into the top ten.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Wow, there you go. Just there's your bold statement. Will
- 26:07Speaker 3: mark the time.
- 26:08Speaker 1: There you go for a two Schneiderbucks and this is
- 26:11Speaker 1: going to be your second to third rounder. That's Eli Stowers.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Another freak, maybe not quite like Sadiq, but certainly a freak.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Six foot four inches tall, two hundred and forty pounds
- 26:24Speaker 1: out of Vanderbilt. He had a four to five to
- 26:27Speaker 1: one forty, which is slower than Sadik, but he had
- 26:30Speaker 1: a forty five and a half vertical night. This guy
- 26:34Speaker 1: jump high jumped seven feet in high school. So this
- 26:37Speaker 1: is one freakish athlete in his own right. And he
- 26:43Speaker 1: was the first team All American in college football this
- 26:46Speaker 1: past year. Not Sadik. Sadiqu was second team All American.
- 26:49Speaker 1: It was Stours with all of that athleticism that was
- 26:53Speaker 1: named first team All American. Out of Vanderbilt. He was
- 26:56Speaker 1: the Mackie Award winner, which of course goes to the
- 26:58Speaker 1: best tight end in the country. He got sixty two
- 27:01Speaker 1: passes from Heisman candidate Diego Pavia as his number one target.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Now he is a finesse tight end. He is a
- 27:09Speaker 1: pass catcher, so you're not going to be drafting a
- 27:12Speaker 1: tight end that will instantly help you in the running game.
- 27:15Speaker 1: That's going to be a process. He was a quarterback
- 27:18Speaker 1: after all, in high school and at the beginning of
- 27:20Speaker 1: his collegiate career, so he had to learn the tight
- 27:23Speaker 1: end position. And usually one of the things that comes
- 27:26Speaker 1: last is the ability and willingness to block as well
- 27:30Speaker 1: as you need to be considered an all around weapon.
- 27:33Speaker 1: But he is a true weapon in the passing game.
- 27:36Speaker 1: He can flat fly, he can soar, and he has
- 27:39Speaker 1: a beautiful ability to catch the football stours. Is an
- 27:43Speaker 1: interesting prospect for everyone in the National Football League. He'll
- 27:47Speaker 1: probably go in the second round. You can have him
- 27:49Speaker 1: for two schneiderbucks, right right, all right, Next up Sam Rousch,
- 27:54Speaker 1: one dollar player here, six six two sixty seven out
- 27:59Speaker 1: of Stanford. That's right, six six two seventy. Now that's
- 28:02Speaker 1: a big tight end. Not much production in college, but
- 28:07Speaker 1: almost There are some people that have roush way down
- 28:10Speaker 1: because of that production. But most of the mockers out there,
- 28:15Speaker 1: they understood that Rausch wasn't playing with a good quarterback
- 28:21Speaker 1: situation at all. At any time while he was a
- 28:25Speaker 1: Stanford cardinal, and that factors in. I mean that obviously
- 28:30Speaker 1: factors in. The scouts belief is that he can be
- 28:33Speaker 1: an immediate NFL starter and maybe one of only two
- 28:38Speaker 1: guys in this entire draft that you can say that
- 28:40Speaker 1: about it, because I'm not sure you can say that
- 28:42Speaker 1: about Stowurs. Stowers might be a weapon, but I don't
- 28:44Speaker 1: know if he is going to be your opening day
- 28:46Speaker 1: three down tight end. That I don't know if that's
- 28:51Speaker 1: going to be his immediate future. But they're saying that
- 28:54Speaker 1: about Rausch. He is huge, he is smart, he is tough,
- 28:58Speaker 1: he blocks, he's experience bience, He's operated his entire college
- 29:02Speaker 1: career in a pro style system as a classic hy
- 29:06Speaker 1: tight end. He doesn't create a lot of space with
- 29:09Speaker 1: his pass routes, or at least he didn't in college,
- 29:11Speaker 1: and he had too many penalties. But Rausch could be
- 29:14Speaker 1: a diamond and the rough, unless, of course, you were
- 29:18Speaker 1: already ahead of that and weren't considering him in the
- 29:22Speaker 1: rough at all. It's hard to be a sleeper when
- 29:26Speaker 1: everybody is wide awake, you know what I mean. So
- 29:29Speaker 1: Sam Rousch, I think is going to be your early
- 29:32Speaker 1: third round, excuse me, early third day tight end, and
- 29:36Speaker 1: you can have him for a single Schneiderbuck.
- 29:39Speaker 3: All right.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Finally, a fifty cent piece. A fifty cent piece can
- 29:43Speaker 1: get you. Nate bor Kircher six foot six inches tall,
- 29:47Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five pounds out of Texas A
- 29:49Speaker 1: and M. Not as big as Rausch, but considered an
- 29:52Speaker 1: even better blocker. Bor Kircher is famous for blowing up
- 29:56Speaker 1: linebackers on the second level. He has a desire to
- 30:00Speaker 1: a mentality for blocking on the edge, but he doesn't
- 30:04Speaker 1: do a lot of pass catching, no more than a
- 30:08Speaker 1: part time starter. For all six of his years in college,
- 30:12Speaker 1: spanning Nebraska and then finishing at Texas A and M,
- 30:15Speaker 1: he never caught more than nineteen passes in a season.
- 30:19Speaker 1: But there is a belief, despite the lack of production,
- 30:23Speaker 1: that he has the skills to develop in that area
- 30:26Speaker 1: and he could be a pass catcher in the National
- 30:28Speaker 1: Football League. Some have rated him as high as the
- 30:31Speaker 1: fourth round. Many, based again on production, say that he
- 30:36Speaker 1: will go at the end of day number three, which
- 30:39Speaker 1: is why I'm making him a fifty cent piece. But
- 30:41Speaker 1: if you're the Seahawks and you're sitting there looking for
- 30:45Speaker 1: something to add to Barner and to Arroyo, and that's
- 30:50Speaker 1: a little different from Oots. I mean, we still have
- 30:53Speaker 1: Sowbert two as well. There's just not a lot of room.
- 30:56Speaker 1: So are you trying to find if I have to
- 30:59Speaker 1: circle somebody in the tight end section of the draft,
- 31:01Speaker 1: miss Catalog, I got to find something that's a little
- 31:04Speaker 1: bit different than what I already have. But you pretty
- 31:07Speaker 1: much have every single flavor. It's like Baskin Robbins at
- 31:11Speaker 1: the tight end position for the Seahawks. So I don't
- 31:14Speaker 1: know if any of those four guys. I tried to
- 31:17Speaker 1: get a diverse collection here for you, Ashley, But who
- 31:22Speaker 1: are you going to circle out of this group? Well?
- 31:24Speaker 3: I think I might be most intrigued by Eli Stowers,
- 31:27Speaker 3: But as you said, we don't really need to spend
- 31:29Speaker 3: that high of a draft pick on a tight end.
- 31:31Speaker 3: So I take the fifty cent piece Nate more Kercher. Sure,
- 31:36Speaker 3: I tried to spell it. It didn't work.
- 31:38Speaker 1: I think it's the only person really to circle in this.
- 31:41Speaker 1: We're not going to invest.
- 31:43Speaker 4: Didn't see what happens.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Yeah, you get somebody with a little bit of upside
- 31:47Speaker 1: that has a willingness to block that maybe you could
- 31:50Speaker 1: use them in a different package if you kept four
- 31:52Speaker 1: tight ends next year along with oots. Also with a
- 31:57Speaker 1: description like that he's going to be good and special teams.
- 32:00Speaker 1: If he loves the block, then he loves to tackle.
- 32:02Speaker 4: There you go.
- 32:03Speaker 1: So I'm going to circle that one as well. It
- 32:05Speaker 1: just doesn't seem like something that's going to be a
- 32:07Speaker 1: real high radar position for the Hawks, all right. So
- 32:11Speaker 1: that leaves us with just two position groups going forward.
- 32:15Speaker 1: So we will have cornerbacks tomorrow. We will have running
- 32:19Speaker 1: backs for you on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, Ashley
- 32:23Speaker 1: and I will put together our wish lists from the
- 32:26Speaker 1: draft miss catalog for NFL Draft Day.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Oh are you saying? The draft is this week?
- 32:31Speaker 1: The draft is this Thursday? This three sleeps okay, May
- 32:36Speaker 1: Monday nights le Tuesday night sleep kicked out, Wednesday night
- 32:39Speaker 1: sleep Draft Day?
- 32:41Speaker 2: Wow? Just like that?
- 32:43Speaker 1: And then three days a draft day, three sleeps until
- 32:47Speaker 1: three days of draft.
- 32:48Speaker 3: Three sleeps for three days of joy right, and the
- 32:50Speaker 3: three days of sleeps are also going to be joyful
- 32:54Speaker 3: because the season is here.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Yeah. So our draft coverage here at Sports Radio ninety
- 32:59Speaker 1: three point three karm outstanding, just really outstanding, it begins
- 33:04Speaker 1: I think with mather Millon on Wednesday, and they are
- 33:08Speaker 1: gathering again at Dinos this year, which is typically the
- 33:11Speaker 1: headquarters for this sucker, so we'll see you out there,
- 33:15Speaker 1: and then of course Thursday, we've got all the stars
- 33:19Speaker 1: aligning to provide you the best coverage, not just in town.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I think our local draft coverage is elite. Is really
- 33:26Speaker 1: it's just outstanding, and I don't have very much to
- 33:30Speaker 1: do with it at.
- 33:30Speaker 4: All, so I have nothing to do with it, so yeah, yeah.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I can brag about it, all right. Coming up next,
- 33:35Speaker 1: we'll close out this Monday edition with one last thing
- 33:38Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. All right,
- 33:52Speaker 1: we should tell you that. Coming up next, Greg Bell
- 33:55Speaker 1: is back ten o'clock. He and Christopher Kid re reun
- 34:00Speaker 1: and it feels so good.
- 34:04Speaker 4: I don't know the rest of the words.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Better know the bee real, not cause you stoo oh
- 34:13Speaker 3: yeah that part yeah.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Talking we'per so good, crick Dan, Greg Bell in the.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Hood, gotta put your hand up on your headphone like
- 34:24Speaker 3: a real Yeah.
- 34:26Speaker 1: I like to consider Greg Peaches and Kid Herb, and
- 34:29Speaker 1: I think the other people would look the other way.
- 34:32Speaker 4: I feel like that's how I would look at them
- 34:34Speaker 4: as well.
- 34:35Speaker 1: So they're coming up at ten o'clock here today, we
- 34:39Speaker 1: are getting ready to close out the radio program with
- 34:42Speaker 1: one last thing. What do you have there, Ashley?
- 34:43Speaker 3: Well, it was fun having Ryan Healy in studio for
- 34:46Speaker 3: the first time. One of the things you guys were
- 34:48Speaker 3: talking about were the struggles that Munos faced recently.
- 34:54Speaker 4: You guys were talking about the blue pits.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely thought you guys were saying blue pit, blue pits, armpits, sweaty, Yeah.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Blue pits, blue pits.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Is that a baseball term, like, if you're struggling, you
- 35:13Speaker 1: get the blue pits.
- 35:14Speaker 3: And it was I think you said it first, and
- 35:16Speaker 3: then he totally agreed, and I'm.
- 35:17Speaker 4: Like, huh, what, how.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Are they just all of a sudden in synct on
- 35:21Speaker 3: blue pits.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's an old expression.
- 35:26Speaker 4: All the baseball players know blue pits.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if you can go ice cold as
- 35:30Speaker 1: a hitter, doesn't anything to do with temperature. So if
- 35:34Speaker 1: you can struggle as hey relief pitcher, then you can
- 35:38Speaker 1: get the blue the.
- 35:39Speaker 5: Blue pits, blue pits on three So I was quite
- 35:44Speaker 5: baffled by that, Pete, what do you think is wrong
- 35:46Speaker 5: with mooney, he's got the blue pits.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Got a case of the blue pits.
- 35:51Speaker 4: I you guys understand what why I was so confused
- 35:54Speaker 4: about it.
- 35:54Speaker 1: We gotta we just gotta fix it.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I've been a baseball fan my whole life, and I
- 35:57Speaker 3: had never once heard of blue pits.
- 36:00Speaker 4: Issue hits. Yep, ye figured it out on my own,
- 36:04Speaker 4: Thank goodness.
- 36:04Speaker 2: One.
- 36:05Speaker 4: It would have been very embarrassing otherwise bloop hits.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Yeah that game. Yeah.
- 36:09Speaker 4: But see if you say blue.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Pits, yeah, I see, yeah, I mean I can see
- 36:14Speaker 1: how you could hear it that way. I don't see
- 36:18Speaker 1: why you would.
- 36:19Speaker 4: Hear it correct.
- 36:20Speaker 3: No, nobody, but again, there's weird things happening up here.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Nobody quite understands it all. I know, five Iron doesn't
- 36:27Speaker 3: usually question it.
- 36:28Speaker 4: He just ignores half of it.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Did he have a good time today coming into studio.
- 36:32Speaker 2: I think he did.
- 36:32Speaker 4: Yeah, he seemed to. Okay, Yeah, he said I'll be
- 36:35Speaker 4: back in May.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Oh okay.
- 36:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 36:38Speaker 1: So just not a lot of Ryan Heally this year,
- 36:40Speaker 1: just a little smattering.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Of start the first half of the season.
- 36:43Speaker 3: I think we get him for twelve games, okay, and
- 36:45Speaker 3: we'll see what happens in.
- 36:46Speaker 4: The second half of the season.
- 36:47Speaker 1: He's got the whole homestand he's going to be on
- 36:49Speaker 1: the call tonight. Okay, very good, that's right. All right,
- 36:52Speaker 1: I'm going to use my one last thing on something
- 36:54Speaker 1: that I don't think anyone should use their one last time. Look,
- 36:59Speaker 1: I don't. I watched it as a kid. I liked
- 37:02Speaker 1: it as a kid. My dad, excuse me, my brother.
- 37:05Speaker 1: My dad would have never. My brother took me to
- 37:07Speaker 1: a couple of events. It was fun. I'm glad that
- 37:10Speaker 1: I did it. I'm glad that I have that. I
- 37:12Speaker 1: still tell stories about those two events. Even when I
- 37:15Speaker 1: came here, I got taken to one, So I guess
- 37:17Speaker 1: I've been to three in my lifetime. But how Sports
- 37:24Speaker 1: Center could be embracing the WWE? And I realized they
- 37:29Speaker 1: have a contract and so they have to promote it.
- 37:33Speaker 1: But I mean, don't we draw the lines. I'm not
- 37:37Speaker 1: saying that it doesn't have its place in society and
- 37:40Speaker 1: those that get entertained by it and like that sort
- 37:43Speaker 1: of thing that's not sport.
- 37:45Speaker 3: You know.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad that. I'm glad you have it in
- 37:49Speaker 1: your life. My little brother loves it. Don't know why, yeah,
- 37:53Speaker 1: but he loves it.
- 37:54Speaker 4: It's just so obviously staged.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Well, that's just it. I mean, why is he ESPN?
- 38:01Speaker 1: Why is Sports Center? Why is the worldwide leader in sports?
- 38:07Speaker 1: This cannot be categorized as a sport. No, you can't
- 38:10Speaker 1: have anything. You can't have something where we already know
- 38:13Speaker 1: the results be considered sport. This is where the line
- 38:17Speaker 1: is drawn. Yeah, okay, so I consider lawn bowling a sport,
- 38:22Speaker 1: even though your aunt Tilly can do it, right, But
- 38:25Speaker 1: that's a sport because it requires some physical activity and
- 38:29Speaker 1: there is a score involved. Correct. Okay, but this is
- 38:33Speaker 1: not a sport. It is a theater production.
- 38:37Speaker 3: It's you get to be the hero this year, you
- 38:39Speaker 3: get to be the heel this year.
- 38:41Speaker 4: You're gonna pull off an upset.
- 38:42Speaker 1: You're gonna come and do that.
- 38:43Speaker 4: I mean, it's all scripted.
- 38:44Speaker 1: They're athletic, yes, and it's very impressive what they physically do.
- 38:48Speaker 4: You're in excellent physical shape.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Athletically, and then they really do suffer a lot of
- 38:54Speaker 1: physical abuse. I mean they take a beating, they take
- 38:57Speaker 1: a pounding. I get that, But why on earth are
- 39:01Speaker 1: we getting this over early season baseball coverage great question?
- 39:05Speaker 1: Or draft coverage A great question? Or NBA basketball playoffs
- 39:10Speaker 1: or NHL playoffs right now. They spend as much time
- 39:13Speaker 1: this weekend talking about WrestleMania as they did anything else.
- 39:17Speaker 1: And it's not a sport. It can't be viewed as sport.
- 39:20Speaker 1: It's scripted.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it, And I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's dumb.
- 39:25Speaker 4: I think it's really dumb.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Yeah, just because you're watching it, it's dumb.
- 39:29Speaker 1: That they're covering it, or you're just dumb. Period.
- 39:31Speaker 4: Well, I think the whole the whole thing.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Is McAfee right now is in a neck brace.
- 39:36Speaker 3: But that's like, and they had this whole thing last
- 39:39Speaker 3: week that some guy who whatever CM punk came in
- 39:42Speaker 3: and ruined his studio. They had it caught on camera.
- 39:46Speaker 3: I'm like, I mean, everybody can tell that this is fake.
- 39:49Speaker 1: If you like it, I'm not telling you don't watch it.
- 39:51Speaker 1: I just think there's a network to put it on
- 39:54Speaker 1: like TNT or TV has.
- 39:55Speaker 3: It's a drama or Bravo. It should be like a drama.
- 39:58Speaker 3: It's reality TV drama Bravo. Yeah, perfect, just don't interrupt
- 40:04Speaker 3: Real Housewives.
- 40:06Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow at six am.
